Everyone knows romance runs abound in Jamaica, so grab your flip-flops, hit the beach or the pool deck with your loved one on your arm. While you're staying at our resort in Montego Bay, you'll be inspired to really impress your partner and we have prepared a list of exciting date ideas just for you. Give any of these suggestions a whirl, and you'll soon be experiencing paradise together like never before.
Located on the Hip Strip and only steps away from our hotel is the popular Marguerites Jamaica. Known for its "creative Caribbean seafood" prepared with local ingredients, the restaurant also offers fine dining on the water, providing an ambiance that summons romance the second you're seated at your table. Treat your partner to some of the best dishes on the island, such as beef tartare, seared ahi tuna, pan scallops, and Tijuana shrimp. Perfectly pair your meal with the best wine selection in Montego Bay, and toast your love in style.
There's just something about island life that makes you want to seek adventure and explore. If you want to test your luck and hit the slots, watch a game with fellow sports fans or enjoy a live show, look no further than the Coral Cliff Gaming Lounge. This game emporium features more than 120 slot machines and live entertainment that you can soak up while enjoying a taste of Jamaica and vibrant tropical cocktails. With something for everyone, this is an ideal place for couples that want to embrace excitement during their vacation.
If dinner and drinks is a little too cliché for you, you've got to experience Doctor's Cave Beach. According to JamaicaHotelReview.com, this gem is the #1 beach in Montego Bay. And the best part of it is, our hotel is located right on Doctor's Cave Beach with easy access and a dedicated area for hotel guests. Nothing says "exclusive" more than that. Grab a light lunch from the Ska Café to enjoy right on the waters' edge before getting in on the adventurous action only Jamaica has to offer.
If you're feeling especially daring, try out the ocean trampoline located in blue Caribbean waters and test out your cannonball skills. Then explore the best spots for snorkeling, go sailing or just soak up the sun. Plus, the beach is located right in the middle of Hip Strip, so you can go shopping or try out the local cuisine after a full day of ocean exploration. As you get to know the Hip Strip, there will be plenty of vendors around, trying to sell their items to you. This is customary practice in Jamaica, but don't feel pressured to buy anything. If you're not interested, simply give the vendor a firm "no thank you," and they won't ask again.
For a really unique experience, Rose Hall Great House covers all the bases. This venue is a popular site for weddings, because of its spectacular views of the coast and location on an expansive golf course. You can snap incredible photos from literally anywhere here. You can go for a romantic walk in the garden, grab a bite to eat, take a tour to learn the history of the house and live life at a slower pace to focus on the one you love most.
But if you're the type of couple who loves a little scare, you can take a haunted night tour and hear chilling tales. Legend has it that Annie Palmer, the former mistress of the house, haunts the area. Originally from Haiti, Annie Palmer (later known as the White Witch of Rose Hall) was rumored to practice witchcraft and voodoo. When she moved to Jamaica, she married John Palmer and her violent temper was soon revealed. She eventually murdered John and two other husbands, before being murdered by a former lover in a strange twist of fate. Book a tour to decide for yourself if the tales of the White Witch of Rose Hall are true and you might catch a glimpse of her riding a horse through the grounds.
Expect an adult crowd as Rose Hall doesn't recommend children under 10 during the night tours, and prepare yourself for some spooky excitement. Hold your partner close and enjoy the thrills!
Ready to start planning your romantic getaway? Book your stay at S Hotel Jamaica. We offer an array of romantic rooms and suites, outstanding service and located right on the beach. With everything that Montego Bay has to offer, get ready to experience adventure, passion and a laid-back vacation like no other.


So who am I? I've been asking myself that question for a while. I'm a human who has loved animals for as long as my memory. What I've learned is that loving an animal and knowing about them is not the same. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, reptiles and birds. Looking back on all the animals over the years in my care, I can tell you I have made lots if mistakes, but my mistakes are good news for you so you don't have to make them; not such good news for my animals, although I promise none were seriously injured during my formative learning!
Because someone has credentials, doesn't mean they like animals. Often times they like bullying animals to make themselves seem powerful.
Because your trainer (friends, neighbors, the guy/gal at the pet store) are knowledgable, they are NOT veterinarians. If your dog is ill, please seek advice from the appropriate experts.
Because your veterinarian (friends, neighbors, the guy/gal at the pet store) are knowledgeable, they are NOT trainers. If your dog has a behavioral issue, please seek advice from the appropriate expert.
Because someone says they're a "dog trainer", doesn't mean they are educated. Today everyone holding the other end of the leash is allowed to call themselves a dog trainer!
Because a trainer uses words like positive reinforcement, force-free, balanced, rewards based etc. doesn't necessarily mean they have your dog's best interest in mind. So regardless of the label they're using to market themselves, they should not be hurting your dog or teaching you how to. If you want to know if a technique hurts, try it on yourself first. And by the way, if your trainer pinches, chokes, yells or shocks your dog and then give the dog a "cookie", he is NOT a positive reinforcement trainer; he is just another aversive trainer who unwittingly has conditioned your dog to tolerate abuse because the pain is followed with a treat!
Because a dog is barking and lunging doesn't mean he's "acting out" and deserves to be chocked, shocked, pinched or yelled at. Barking is a communication; often this behavior reflects his fear and no amount of aversive techniques (abuse) will change the dog's emotional state from fearful to friendly!
If marine mammals, zoo animals, human animals (ALL ANIMALS) can be trained without hurting them, so can your dog be trained. Chicago's Shedd Aquarium is home to a variety of wild species and now domestic dogs, all of which are trained THE SHEDD WAY. The show at the Shedd is a wonderful way to be entertained, and also to learn about training and enrichment for your own animals.
Because a dog evolved from a wolf, does not make him a wolf. He is NOT a pack animal, an animal that likes being locked in a "den" (crate) nor is he a wild animal. Thousands of years of evolution has produced a species that likes humans, reads and responds to human gestures like no other animal, and is capable of solving problems unique to the individual ways dogs view their world. It is only in the last 10 years or so that scientist have bothered to study canines and this groundbreaking work will hopefully replace myths, folklore and other made up stuff so that we can begin to understand who the dog really is.
Because a dog walks out the door first and or pulls on his leash, doesn't make him "dominant". In fact the label, even if it were true, does more to divide the human hound relationship, rather than recognize the behavior for what it is: He's excited to go out for a walk with his favorite person!
Because you can reinforce a dog's attention seeking, (voluntary) behavior such as barking and jumping on you, does NOT mean you can reinforce his fearful, (involuntary) emotional state (which may also produce behaviors such as barking and jumping on you.) In fact if you could reinforce fear, you could punish fear, and I promise you that petting and soothing your fearful dog is no more going to increase his fear level than slapping him and thinking that the fear will decrease.
They say that dogs are relinquished to shelters because of behavior issues; I believe dogs are relinquished to shelters because of bad information on how to resolve the issues.
Some people are reluctant to adopt an adult dog because of possible behavior issues, so they instead opt for a puppy with a "clean slate". What they don't consider is that the adult dog you see in the shelter was most likely somebody's puppy at one time so if you don't raise your puppy right, he'll become another adult dog in a shelter too!
Shelter dogs are not born; they're created!


Many small businesses obtain initial funding from tapping the personal resources of their founders, which includes personal credit cards. However, as companies and services become more established, separating personal from business expenses becomes more desirable, even essential. One of the fundamental means of establishing separate business finances is to get a business credit card. If you're looking for a new business credit card, check out our SuperMoney's list of the best business credit cards of 2016.
Ironically, business credit card issuers often rely on applicants' personal credit profiles as part of their underwriting process for issuing unsecured business cards. Others require applicants to provide a personal guarantee against default, largely negating the advantage, if not the purpose of business credit cards. Such reliance on personal credit and guarantees also places business owners with less than perfect credit at a distinct disadvantage. However, secured business credit cards and some merchant-specific credit cards allow business owners and entrepreneurs with less than sterling personal credit to begin to establish separate business credit.
Business credit cards typically offer more limited perks than consumer credit cards, although that has begun to change somewhat in the last several years. Common perks associated with business credit cards include low interest rates, discounts on office supplies, gas and travel. Some business credit cards offer cash back rewards. As with consumer credit cards, the best deals are often available only to customers with good or excellent personal credit. On the other hand, the majority of business credit cards charge annual fees. Cash advances are rarely an option with business credit cards. Ironically, foreign transaction fees are also a common feature of business credit cards, even those that tout themselves as travel-oriented cards.
Like consumer credit reporting agencies, business credit reporting bureaus vary in their evaluation of businesses. Some establish FICO-like credit scores; others do not. With some business credit reporting agencies, like D&B, business information is largely self-reported. Others, like Equifax Small Business Enterprise, do not allow businesses to submit their own information. As a result, many small business owners, especially new businesses, will find that establishing business credit files is difficult and takes time. Instead, business credit reports become essential to established businesses that wish to expand their operations, obtain equipment or inventory, or establish separate credit, including business credit cards, with no personal guarantee required.
Just as there are three major consumer credit reporting agencies, there are three major business reporting agencies: Dun and Bradstreet (D&B), Equifax Small Business Enterprise and Experian Small Business Reports. Other business credit reporting bureaus of particular interest to small business owners include Credit.net and ClientChecker.
Business credit cards help to establish business credit directly, of course. However, making purchases with business debit cards can allow small business owners to establish trade relationships and leverage lines of credit with proprietors that report to business credit bureaus. Many merchants such as office supply stores issue business lines of credit or proprietary credit cards to small business customers. Many banks issue business debit cards and credit cards to their customers as well.
Businesses that accept credit card payments or that issue invoices can often obtain credit through companies that base their underwriting largely or solely on accounts receivable. On the other hand, prepaid business credit cards do not help establish business credit, although they do provide a level of convenience, and are useful if no other options are available.

Personal Development - PSHE
What is PSHE?
Hitchin Boys' School, in partnership with parents, has a vital role in preparing children and young people to negotiate the challenges and opportunities of an increasingly complex world. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks. PHSE is the school subject that deals with real-life issues affecting our children, families, and communities. It's concerned with the social, health and economic realities of their lives, experiences and attitudes including relationships. It supports pupils to be healthy (mentally and physically), safe (online and offline) and to develop their character and understanding of British values allowing them to be equipped to thrive in their relationships and careers.
Parents' and carers' support is important to the success of our personal development programme. Students are encouraged to talk about the curriculum with parents and carers. Our PSHE curriculum includes relationship education and is available for download so that parents and carers can see what content is being delivered.
Why is PSHE important?
It...
Contributes to physical and mental health and wellbeing, encouraging individual responsibility for health.
Contributes to the safety and protection of our children and young people, from staying safe online to understanding risks associated with drugs and alcohol and knowing the law surrounding these topics.
Contributes to the information young people need to help them develop healthy, nurturing relationships of all kinds, not just intimate relationships, and know boundaries within the law.
Promotes independence, resilience, and responsibility — preparing children and young people for future roles as parents, employees, and leaders.
Contributes and develops an individual's character and their understanding of British Values.
Supports employability by developing the personal and social skills demanded by commerce and industry.
Supports pupils to be critical consumers of information and develops the skills to identify misleading news or views on social media and elsewhere.
How is PSHE taught?
At Key Stage 3 discrete PSHE is taught once a week by a specialised team of teachers and once a fortnight at Key Stage 4 & 5. As a school, we operate a whole school approach to Personal Development and some appropriate topics are explored in tutor time and assembly. Other subject areas contribute to certain topics such as biology in science and aspects of relationship and health education arise in RS, English, Drama, PE, and Food Technology.
A wide range of teaching methods are used that enable students to actively participate in their own learning. This includes the use of quizzes, case studies, research, role-play, video, small group discussion and use of appropriate guest speakers.
Teaching is conducted in a safe learning environment through the use of ground rules and distancing techniques so that students are not put on the spot or expected to discuss their own personal issues in class. Teaching resources are selected on the basis of their appropriateness to students.
What will my child learn during these lessons?
The PSHE curriculum is underpinned by the ethos and values of Hitchin Boys' School, and we uphold it as an entitlement for all our students. We recognise the need to work with parents and carers to ensure a shared understanding of PSHE and to deliver an effective and personalised programme that meets the needs of our students.
The school believes that students should have opportunities to have their genuine questions answered in a sensible and matter-of-fact manner. Teachers will use their skill and discretion to decide about whether to answer questions in class and, if so, how. They will establish clear parameters of what is appropriate and inappropriate; they will follow the school behaviour for learning policy and discuss ground rules with students by taking an approach that encourages students to be mature and sensible. Like other subjects, discrete PSHE lessons gradually build key concepts and skills through topics that are relevant to children and young people's age and stage of development. PSHE lessons cover a wide range of topics and curriculum areas based on the three core themes of:
Health Education aims to give your child the information they need to make good decisions about their own health and wellbeing, to recognise issues in themselves and others, and to seek support as early as possible when issues arise.
Relationship Education will build on the teaching at primary school. It aims to give young people the information they need to help them develop healthy, nurturing relationships of all kinds. They will explore what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like and what makes a good friend, colleague and successful marriage or committed relationship.
At the appropriate time, the focus will move to developing intimate and sexual relationships (including sexual health) to equip your child with the knowledge they need to make safe, informed and healthy choices as they progress through adult life.
Living in the wider world aims to teach our young people how to be responsible citizens and possess the skills needed for the future. Our young people will also learn about careers and other work-related learning aspects including citizenship and financial management.
Do I have a right to withdraw my child from PSHE?
Parents will receive a letter each year, as there is the right to withdraw your child from lessons which relate directly to sex. All other aspects of the PSHE curriculum remain compulsory as it is important that all children receive this content, covering topics such as friendships and how to stay safe.
The science curriculum also includes content on human development, including reproduction, from which there is no right to withdraw children.
There are huge personal and social benefits of a young person receiving relationship and sex education and any withdrawal may have detrimental effects on the child. This could include any social and emotional effects of being excluded, as well as the likelihood of the child hearing their peers' version of what was said in the classes, rather than what was directly said by the teacher.
Whilst every effort is made, sometimes relationship and sex topics can arise incidentally in other subjects, lessons and situations and it is not possible to withdraw pupils from these relatively limited and often unplanned discussions.

Cuarny est une commune suisse du canton de Vaud, située dans le district du Jura-Nord vaudois.

Toponymie
Le nom de Cuarny n'a pas encore été expliqué. Il est sans doute formé d'un nom de personne latin et du suffixe toponymique -akos. Ce toponyme s'écrit : Quarnie (1174), Cuarnier (1453), Cuarny (1847). Malgré la ressemblance apparente, Cuarny et Cuarnens n'ont pas la même origine.

Armoiries
D'argent à trois flammes de gueules mouvant de la pointe, au chef du même chargé de trois chouettes du premier. Ces armoiries, adoptées en 1928, font allusion au gaz inflammable qui s'échappe du sol communal, tandis que les chouettes rappellent le surnom anciennement donné aux habitants du village.

Géographie
Le centre de Cuarny est situé à  à vol d'oiseau d'Yverdon-les-Bains. La superficie de  du territoire communal comprend une section de la colline du Montéla, à cheval entre la vallée de la Broye et le lac de Neuchâtel. Le village-rue est placé sur le versant sud du Montéla qui, avec ses  est également le point le plus haut de la commune.

Le lieu-dit « Fignerolles » marque l'extrémité du territoire communal au nord-ouest, l'extrémité sud-est de la vallée de Cuarny accueille une partie de l'autoroute A1 et une forêt nommée « Campanne ». En 1997, 3 % du territoire est constitué de terrain constructible et 27 % de forêts ; les 70 % restants sont consacrés à l'agriculture.

Les communes voisines de Cuarny sont Yverdon-les-Bains, Cheseaux-Noréaz, Villars-Épeney, Yvonand, Cronay et Pomy.

Géologie
Le ravin qui sépare Cuarny de Cronay, au nord-est du village, comporte des traces de matières bitumineuses qui ont attiré  l'attention depuis le . Un trou de sonde, au début du , a laissé échapper des gaz inflammables. Dans l'espoir de trouver du pétrole, un forage profond de près de  a été entrepris dans les années 1936-1939 par l'entreprise «Neuchavaud», sous la direction de l'industriel belge F. J. G. Vingerhoets,  mais sans succès. De nouvelles investigations, en 1974-1975, n'ont pas obtenu de résultats meilleurs.

Population

Surnoms
Les habitants de la commune sont surnommés les Chats-Huants ou les Chouettes.

Démographie
Avec  à fin 2016, Cuarny fait partie des petites communes du canton de Vaud. Les habitants sont francophones à 98,3 %, italophones à 1,2 % et germanophones à 0,6 %. La population s'élevait à 292 habitants en 1850, 263 habitants en 1900 et en raison d'un exode massif, la commune n'enregistrait plus que 150 habitants en 1980.

Économie
Le village comprend de nombreuses exploitations agricoles. De petites entreprises locales fournissent également quelques emplois. Beaucoup d'actifs sont des travailleurs pendulaires, qui travaillent notamment à Yverdon-les-Bains.

Transports
La commune est accessible par la route, que ce soit à l'est en direction d'Yvonand, à l'ouest en direction de Pomy ou au nord avec une petite route à une voie en direction d'Yverdon-les-Bains. Les cars postaux desservent régulièrement la commune.
Inaugurée en 2001, l'autoroute A1 traverse le territoire communal sur un pont situé à  de hauteur mais n'est pas accessible depuis la commune.

Fortifications du Montélaz

Outre un refuge ouvert à tous et une antenne radio, la colline de Montélaz ou Montéla renferme en son sommet (668 mètres) les vestiges de fortifications militaires, agrandies en octobre 1908 par une école de recrues des sapeurs du génie. Il s'agit d'une quinzaine d'abris bétonnés ou en tôle de zinc ondulée, donnant sur des fossés aujourd'hui partiellement comblés. Une inscription encore visible dans le béton date la construction d'un abri en 1909, par l'école de recrues numéro 2 ("REKR. SCH. II"). Une première ligne de fortification de 50 mètres avait aussi été aménagée au bas de la colline, côté Cuarny.

La position fortifiée du Montélaz servait de terrain d'entrainement pour des manœuvres militaires d'attaque et de défense.

There is no such thing as bad Audi model, and we are sure that you will agree with us on it. The model we are about to make you familiar with is the cocky 2018 Audi Q2, not quite innovative but equally wonderful as its other family members. Ever since it was announced the crowds went wild and are skimming for every and each information they can get and we are here to help.
Nothing will be significantly different when it comes to the exterior design of the outstanding 2018 Audi Q2. There will be slight but refreshing details added to it but no one can deny the beauty it possesses. It will be clad in polished shire metal and aluminum which will make it feather light and efficient. Another addition will be the addition of ten color options which will enable personalization of the vehicle on a higher level. It will receive larger trapezoidal grille with the sharp-edged headlights with LED technology added to it.
The new 2018 Audi Q2 keeps up with the recognizable Audi design which is quite satisfactory. With the capacity of receiving five passengers which will be provided with the ultimate comfort and safety it will be a vehicle worth president. The isolation will be on a rather high level so the passenger will be protected from the outer noises and UV radiation while enjoying the ride. The cabin will be covered in genuine materials of different color options as well as highly adjustable seats. The technological part won't be less impressive than design. Some of the most attractive features in this section will be a 12.3-inch screen, Bang & Olufsen sound system with 14 speakers, HVAC controls, as well as adaptive cruise control.
The engines offered will most certainly make new 2018 Audi Q2 able to satisfy even the most demanding customers. We will start from the base model which will be a 1.0-liter TSFI three-cylinder which will be able to develop 116 hp. The next one will be 1.4-liter with the production of 150 hp and the most powerful of all petrol engines will be 2.0-liter whit the generation of 190 hp. There will also be three diesel engines a 1.6-liter unit with the creation of 116 hp and two 2.0-liters of 150 and 190 hp. 2018 Audi Qt2 engines will be paired with either 6 or 7-speed manual transmission system. Audi has announced the high efficiency of this model and we are sure that it will be quite impressive.
The upcoming 2018 Audi Q2 will be one of the most affordable Audi SUV models which make us even more excited about its release. 2018 Audi Q2, the starting price has been estimate on $33,225 which is absolutely awesome. Still there is one not so fortunate fact and that is that the 2018 Audi Q2 manufacturers haven't announced the launching of the model at the American continent but there is still enough time for things to change.

The club had a link with English non-league club Eccleshill United, based in Bradford, but that ended in 2015.

In 2018 they began a women's team. In November 2021 it was announced that a new female football programme would be launched in 2022.

Coaches
Gerard Jones was head coach until May 2015. As of December 2018, ex-player Rob Jones was RIASA's head coach. In October 2018 they also had "fitness coaches, nutritional advisers and a strength and conditioning coach". James Hanson joined as a coach in September 2021.

Players

RIASA began with 23 students, including Nahki Wells. By October 2018 they had 97 students, primarily American, but from 20 different countries. By February 2019 they had 94 students from 21 countries. Joseph DeMartino graduated in May 2018, and later became a goalkeeping director for American club Fredericksburg FC. In January 2019 RIASA graduate Omar Damba turned professional with English club Sheffield Wednesday.

Other future professionals who spent time with RIASA include Adam McCabe, Jonathan Lewis, and Christian Eissele.

You owe the money, but you do not deserve to be harassed and hounded by those who are responsible for attempting to collect the debt. Under both Florida law and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, there are protections in place for individuals that owe money to lenders.
Often times, these lenders will harass and intimidate debtors at all hours of the day and night and often times on their cell phones. These debt collectors will also call friends and family, bothering them too. Fortunately, there are legal protections in place if you owe money and are being harassed.
Here at the Harland Law Firm we can help you recover money if you are subject to this harassment. Under the law, you may be entitled to up to $1,500 for every unwanted call made to you on your cell phone. This can add up quickly as many debt collectors call many times a day, even after being informed to cease and desist their collection harassment.
If you wish to discuss your legal rights concerning unwanted harassment on a debt you owe, call us for a consultation.

Who Owns the World – The hidden facts behind landownership

Land ownership is an increasingly topical subject that affects us all in one way or another. Kevin Cahill's book Who Owns the World provides an in depth and informative resource on the subject, no matter where you live on the planet.
This web-site is an extension of that book and providing current news and links to useful information.
Note: In relation to Oromo land theft by Ethiopian statists, US Federal statists in Oregon, African statists theft for international (chinese, indian, US, EU) investors in Africa, land is tangible and the basis for health and well-being!
The issue of land also exposes the lie about eugenicists Billy boy Gates being the richest person on earth. Queen Elizabeth II is the largest landowner!

Some £600 million in UK aid money courtesy of the taxpayer is helping big business increase its profits in Africa via the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition. In return for receiving aid money and corporate investment, African countries have to change their laws, making it easier for corporations to acquire farmland, control seed supplies and export produce.
Last year, Director of the Global Justice Now Nick Dearden said:
"It's scandalous that UK aid money is being used to carve up Africa in the interests of big business. This is the exact opposite of what is needed, which is support to small-scale farmers and fairer distribution of land and resources to give African countries more control over their food systems. Africa can produce enough food to feed its people. The problem is that our food system is geared to the luxury tastes of the richest, not the needs of ordinary people. Here the British government is using aid money to make the problem even worse."
Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Mozambique, Nigeria, Benin, Malawi and Senegal are all involved in the New Alliance
To see this in action, we need look no further to a conference held on Monday 23 March in London, organised by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This secretive, invitation-only meeting with aid donors and big seed companies discussed a strategy to make it easier for these companies to sell patented seeds in Africa and thus increase corporate control of seeds

Note: Ethiopian statists are currently stealing Oromo land, Burkina Faso has French and US military fighting the terrorist bogeyman al-whatever-we-want-to-call-it, Nigeria has Bogus Haram.
I am contemptous of these "terror" groups as their actions progress statist/pirate interests! Furthermore with the outsourcing of murder by the Statists and corporate pirates to mercenaries it requires little imagination to envision convenient acts of terror.
This is the context within which to view the "humanitarian" Ebola and vaccinations projects ongoing in Africa. You are free to believe that the monopolistic psychotic corporate pirates and their statists legal covermen care for humanity.

Flash is capable of performing an impressive number of tasks and delivering such a wide variety of different types of information that it can be tricky to know where to start when trying to reign in a bloated application. In an effort to keep a large and still growing Flash application that I am developing under control, I recently did some research into Flash optimization. So, after some experimentation and a little searching around online, I was able to put together a list of tips, the best of which Ill share with you now. Some of these tips relate to graphics, most however, focus on the nitty-gritty of ActionScript and so are a little technical in nature.
1. Try not to scale images as this can be quite a CPU intensive operation.
2. Avoid using outlines around vector images, this also adds to CPU load without necessarily improving the quality of the vector.
3. Avoid using _alpha and gradients if possible. If you have an object thats going to be at 0 _alpha for a while, set '_visible = 0' instead.
4. Keep all your code centralized, because code lookups dont have to go through MCs. It also makes your SWFs far more intelligible if your code isnt hidden within a multitude of different MCs.
5. Reuse code where possible and practical. Try and avoid repeating routines where a single function might suffice.
6. Avoid unnecessary variable declaration. ActionScript is an interpreted language and variables take up more space than in compiled languages.
7. Use 'var' to declare variables. Local variables are faster to access for the player and are destroyed when the function returns.
8. When declaring variables, try and avoid long variable names, e.g. 'var thisisacrazylengthforavariablename = 1' is a lot slower than 'var shorter = 1'.
10. Defining things like parent in MC's as a local variable, e.g. 'var p=_parent', reduces the time taken for looking it up. Likewise, storing built in functions in vars can speed things up, e.g. 'var Mpi=Math.PI' , and precalculating whenever you can, e.g. 'var rad=Mpi/180'.
11. When using arrays, it's better to specify the initial size and make it sufficient for your needs. Otherwise flash will be resizing the array which wastes CPU power.
12. Avoid using multi-dimensional arrays, if a single dimension can be used instead.
13. Try not to operate on long strings, where possible, split the strings up.
14. 16000 is Flashs magic number. This number represents the upper limit for the number frames, layers, symbol instances and loaded movie clips within a given movie. Exceed this value, and Flash will start to act strange.
15. The supplied V2 components are large, inefficient and difficult to customize. If components are going to form the backbone of an application and will need to be customized, it may be worth investing in a third party solution.
16. A useful tool in battle with the bloat, is Flashs inbuilt size report. In the publish settings select the generate size report feature and review the output to see how the different parts of your SWF are contributing to file size.
These are just a few of the vast number of things that can be done to keep your Flash SWFs trim, and indeed may not be the best choice in all circumstances, but theyre a handy starting point nonetheless. A lot of the above tips were culled from the various resources catalogued at Lessrain blog; a site which is worth checking out for some further reading.

Father's Day memories of dramatic rescues, good advice, corny jokes and constant support
Fathers are famous for corny quips, fixing things, coming to the rescue and falling asleep in their favorite chair.
They were our earliest fans, enduring our humid swim meets. And they turned us into fans of the Green Bay Packers, pro wrestling and the American dream.
Some of them are gone, but their memories and counsel linger with us like a guiding spirit.
In this article, journalists from around the state that make up our USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin team share stories about their fathers, from his annual dance with the Thanksgiving turkey to a final reunion with his relatives.
Clutch performance: Dad to the rescue
It's difficult for me to describe how special my dad is, even though I've been writing about people for decades. Perhaps it's because I don't want to leave out any of his many qualities.
My dad and mom raised five children born within seven years. I'm the youngest, and if you believe the jokes of my brother and sisters, I received the most attention and favoritism. I doubt that, as my parents went to great lengths to treat us equitably. But I also know, as a father myself, that parents will direct their care to the child in greatest need at any particular moment.
I had such a need in 1986.
Armed with a degree in journalism, I landed a job interview at a newspaper in Marshall, Minnesota. I didn't know a lot about Marshall — this was before the invention of the World Wide Web — but I quickly learned it was not a great place to break the clutch cable on my car. My girlfriend (now my wife) and I hitched a ride on a tractor to a service station, where we learned there would be no quick fix.
I called my dad for advice. "What's the diameter of the cable?" he asked. I didn't know, and it didn't matter. He said he would bring several sizes and was on his way out the door on a seven-hour journey to rescue us. When he and my mom arrived, it probably took him less than seven minutes to fix the clutch. Then they had the seven-hour drive back home.
It's one of the many stories that illustrates the qualities of my dad: selfless, understanding, loving, caring, dependable and brilliantly inventive.
Today, I still call my dad for advice, but more often I call him just to talk or to get together at one of Wisconsin's festivals like the Fasching Show in Johnsonville, German Fest in Milwaukee or Oktoberfest in Glendale.
Oh, that's another quality you should know about my dad. He's a stubborn German, and proud of it.
~Duke Behnke, Appleton Post-Crescent
Dad's indestructible sense of humor
In my family, and perhaps in broader Indian culture, it is tradition for an aunt to name a newborn baby. So, when I came into the world in May 1995, my aunt named me Devi, which translates to "goddess."
It's not that my family was especially religious; rather, my name was the result of what my dad seemed to lack on the spiritual side of things. Like most things in life, he never really took praying very seriously.
This was a source of great amusement for the kids and annoyance for the adults. At night, we'd cuddle into the king bed in our little apartment, me and my two younger siblings sandwiched between mom and dad. He'd sing a parody of our nightly prayer in Gujarati, switching out the lyrics to make the hymn about frying bhajiyas. We giggled and giggled.
This knee-jerk aversion to prayer is how I got my name. My aunt named me "Devi" so when my dad would call after me, he'd also be praying.
I was 9 years old in 2004, when my dad died after a long battle with various medical issues that culminated in a heart attack. For years, I tried to hold onto the sound of his voice and laugh, the tickle of his beard on my cheek, the feel of his hand wrapped around mine. As I feared as a child, the nearly two decades since his death have taken a lot of that from my sensory memory.
But I am left with a highlight reel of memories from the eyes of a young, adoring daughter. Him teaching us to garden in the backyard of our suburban Chicago home, even though we hated it. The way he'd kick a ball so high in the air we thought it'd never come back down to Earth. Sneaking away after school and before dinner to get Slurpees or a single bagel from Einstein Bros., which he'd carve into fourths to share. Late night omelets, and the many times he'd make or order food for himself only to end up feeding it all to us. Spontaneous road trips to visit his brother in New York, his immigrant thirst for adventure never satiated. Our house full of laughter and friends, dad always at the center of attention.
My dad was also given a powerful name when born: Avinash. It means indestructible.
Today, these indestructible, pearl-like memories are most of what is left of him. At 26, I try to crack them open when I can bear to do so, in hopes of learning a little more about the man he was and — by extension — the woman I'm going to be. And I just hope wherever he is, he's free and he's proud of who I've become. Happy Father's Day, daddio. You are missed and you are loved.

A stone house, a faded snapshot
Because my father and his brothers built the fieldstone house I grew up in, I developed an affinity for those stones.
On the front of the house — beneath the kitchen window — was an unusual piece of pink granite. Veined with silver, I thought it was a great prize, the way it shone brilliant in the sun.
If life is a house, my father surely built my foundation, and it crumbles a bit each time I need him and he's not here. How do I test the sump pump? What kind of paint should I buy? Should I rotate my tires? How do you go on when someone dies?
As a teenager in the 1970s, I thought his views simplistic. He was the son of Slovenian immigrants and his belief in the American dream was steadfast.
"Only in America can you start out sweeping the floor of a company and then someday own it," he said, quick to point out that there was no difference between a janitor and a company president, as long as both did the best job they could.
He was an enigma in the corporate world, coffee stains on his dress shirts, crooked eyeglasses, absentminded. He said "dose" for those and "dat" for that, spoke softly and laughed often, usually after telling a dumb joke, or putting aluminum foil on his head as a rain cap.
Most nights he fell asleep in his chair while reading the newspaper.
Few knew of his keen intellect, how he designed huge machines and drew intricate blueprints with precision and imagination. People back then didn't boast much of their achievements.
Sometimes I drive past the old house and I search for that stone, the shiny one. When I see it, for a little while I feel strong again.
In a letter my father wrote to me in 1984, just before he died, he said he hoped I might develop my latent talents "with the pen." I never imagined it would be a prophecy.
I had this momentum going today, clean the bathrooms, weed the flowerbeds, get groceries, but I'm suddenly undone by a black and white snapshot of my dad napping on the couch. I am standing nearby, very young and unaware that life really is a struggle.
~Sharon Roznik, Fond du Lac Reporter
One more road trip for Pops
Father's Day is tough for me because I lost my dad, James D. Causey, almost three years ago. My wife, mother and I cared for my dad at home until the end. His quality of life remained high until his final two weeks when he started getting weaker and lost his mobility.
After my father started to complain about pain in his back, the VA Hospital ran extensive checks. They gave my wife and I news we didn't expect to hear:
Pancreatic cancer. Prognosis six months to a year.
Being the only child and as close as I am to my father it broke me down, but my wife convinced us to make the best of the situation.
We didn't want to do chemo, because if you know Pops, he wouldn't want to spend his valuable time sick and in the hospital. Instead, we elected for mild radiation treatment, which allowed us to do our yearly road trips to Mississippi to see his relatives.
Next to playing the lottery — which he won on several occasions — spending time with his sisters and brothers in the south was my father's winning ticket.
On our way to Mississippi, Pops liked to stop and get scratch off tickets and lottery numbers in every state. We gave him a hard time about it, but we liked stopping so he could play, too. Pops carried a number notebook in his dress shirt pocket. Whenever a number felt good to him, he'd write it down and play it at the next stop.
We didn't tell his relatives that he was sick and that this would probably be their last time seeing him. On "Causey Camp" — acres of land owned by multiple relatives — he ate fried Buffalo fish and fresh fried pork skins and laughed so hard while telling old stories, he cried. As I watched him enjoy himself, I silently cried, too.
That time spent with my father and his relatives was one of the best trips south we ever had. It was a celebration of who he was: a family man who loved his folks and loved to laugh.
What I was most proud of, is how he bragged on me to relatives telling them I worked for the big newspaper in Milwaukee.
He always doted on me, even when I didn't want him to.
But I doted on him as well, because he is the best father a man could ever have.
So on this day, I want to wish my dad, James D. Causey, a happy Heavenly Father's Day. I'll be sure to play your triple zeros on Pick 3 today. I miss you so much.
~ James E. Causey, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Dad save from bad roommate
I went into my first year at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay with an open mind and my head held high, determined to make it a good year and give school a real fighting chance. That was shot down the minute I met my first-year roommate.
Unlike me, she didn't give the school a chance, meaning she didn't really give me a chance. She made me feel unwanted in my own dorm room and would go out of her way to make my day and time there tough. It just wasn't a good situation, to make a long story short.
Almost every night I cried because of how miserable I was, I would spend nights in my friend's dorm, sleeping on a blow-up mattress on their floor so I didn't have to sleep in my own room. Finally, I made the decision to go to housing and request a room switch.
I called my dad in tears saying that I needed to move ASAP and I had no help. My dad, Craig Geiger, is my rock. He supports me in everything I do in life. So much so that, after I called him he dropped everything and drove up to Green Bay to help me move into my new apartment.
He helped me move everything and help me set up everything. He was there to meet my new roommates with me. He wiped away all the tears that fell down my face that day. He lifted me up and gave me a hug, he told me that everything happens for a reason and it will all be OK.
He gave me the confidence to apply to transfer to UW-Eau Claire for the following year. I couldn't be more grateful to have a dad like him.

Stepdad imparts lasting lessons
When I first met my stepdad, I had to be no older than six. A family friend explained to me that he was a nice man who wanted to start dating my mom.
My mom asked me and my sister if we were OK with her dating him. My sister didn't like it, she wanted our family to stay small. But, when I met him, he seemed kind, and he even brought me gifts. At the time, I didn't realize he was trying to win our affection. But, I mean, it worked.
Even after they became Mr. and Mrs. Ramon Myles, I wasn't good at telling what he was thinking. My stepdad's not always a man of many words, and I was a shy kid. Even so, he always had a good idea of what I liked and what I was thinking.
When we started going to his parents' in Mississippi, I finally started to understand Ramon more. He was raised with a military mindset by his parents. He was always focused on doing what's necessary to take care of your family.
Growing up, I preferred staying inside to playing sports or getting dirty. But, Ramon pushed me to do things I wasn't used to. We woke up early to do chores and did a lot of DIY work around our house. He always had me do these things with him because he wanted to be sure I could do them on my own. He made sure I learned to be responsible for what was mine, and put a bit of elbow grease into things when I need to.
When I first started helping Ramon fix up things around the house, he reprimanded me for just standing and watching him work.
"You don't see I need help?" he said.
"You didn't say you needed help," I replied.
That's when Ramon taught me a lesson that's stayed with me sense. He said, "When you see someone struggling, you don't sit and stare at them. You help them."
My stepdad has always had high expectations for his children, and he gave us tough love. So whenever I've received praise from him, it's been a moment that felt hard earned. But, I know that he's proud of me for more than he lets on. When I made art, or I won swimming competition heats, or graduated, he'd always get a big grin. And I'd hear him bragging about my accomplishments to everyone else.
Normally, I only call Ramon my stepdad in more formal settings, because I think of him as a real dad. I think other people delineate more between their biological and stepparents. But Ramon's been next to me, raising me for basically my whole life. And he's imparted many lessons in me. Without his fatherly advice, I wouldn't be the man that I am today.
~ Roshaun Higgins, Appleton Post Crescent
My memory isn't great. "Just like your dad's," my mom jokingly says. But I remember exactly how I felt on April 9, 2017.
It was the third time I've traveled to Puerto Rico with my dad to visit his parents.
The sweltering heat was unwavering, even as the sun began to set and the coquís — a native species of frog named after the sound male coquís make (ko-kee) — were awakened.
At my grandparents' house in Canóvanas, I sat across from my dad, who sat next to my grandfather. I watched as my dad turned his phone sideways and gleefully leaned toward his right. My grandfather reciprocated the movement and shortened the distance between them.
As they stared at the phone, a rush of thoughts overwhelmed me. I saw their similarities: gray hair, faded tattoos, cargo shorts, socks and sandals.
I envisioned myself being older; sitting where my dad sat and him sitting next to me. In the vision, I lean toward my dad as he tilts his head back, just like grandpa, and peers through squinted eyes to see clearly.
I came back to reality. With a warm heart and a grin on my face, I snapped a picture.
As I grow older, I understand more about my dad. I can relate to the sacrifices he's made; I appreciate his advice and I cherish the happy memories he's created for me, knowing that one day I would think back on them and smile.
~ Eddie Morales, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
He endured humid swim meets
My dad, Keith Brophy, has always been a huge sports guy, and many of my childhood memories with him involve sports — him taking us over the border to Canada to see the New York Yankees play the Toronto Blue Jays, going with my mom and brother to watch him coach high school football, me learning to be a softball pitcher and throwing a ball right through the shed window in our backyard in middle school. Through sports, my dad taught myself and my brother that you don't have to be the best, but you do have to try your best.
I was a competitive swimmer as a kid and through college. My dad sacrificed his weekends in hot, humid natatoriums to watch me swim a total of maybe ten minutes. When I was in college, he rarely missed a meet, and would drive all across New York State to come watch me swim. He kept track of my best times and his wise words of advice before every meet was something along the lines of "when you get to the wall, turn around and come back fast."
When I graduated college and got my first apartment, he spent hours helping me move and put together furniture. When I started working as a reporter in Wisconsin, he bought a subscription to the paper so he could read every single story I wrote, even though he lives hundreds of miles away in a different state.
Last year, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I didn't get to see my dad in New York for almost a year.
I did make it home for holidays, and when I saw him waiting for me at the airport, I gave him the biggest hug and immediately burst into tears.
~Natalie Brophy, Appleton Post Crescent
He's so consistent
My dad loves to make other people laugh, most of the time at his own expense.
It's always been his job to cook the turkey for Thanksgiving. He puts a Cuban twist and marinades it in mojo for a few days. If I make it to the kitchen on time before he puts the turkey in the oven, my dad performs the annual turkey dance. He grabs it by the wings, sings a song and makes the bird break a few moves. I find that amusing for someone who taught me not to play with my food growing up.
The thing about my dad's sense of humor is that if he makes you laugh one time, he will keep telling the same joke. The first time he performed the turkey dance, I was likely in middle school. I am now 25 years old, and he still does this. I tell him he needs new material and even got him a "Dad Jokes" calendar for Christmas.
~ Jessica Rodriguez, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Dad jokes and the 'Panny'
The earliest live sporting event I can remember attending? A pro wrestling house show in Stevens Point, sitting by my dad.
My first concert? "Weird Al" Yankovic at the Wisconsin Valley Fair in Marathon Park, sitting by my dad.
One of my earliest memories in general? Rewatching over and over a VHS copy of 1962's classic, "King Kong vs. Godzilla," almost certainly purchased and introduced to me by my dad.
People might wonder where I get my odd pastimes, and I can safely say the blame rests mostly on the shoulders of my dad, Dave Langton. He's always had an interest in the offbeat in life, digging for the humorous in the world to amuse himself and others, be it a funny exchange in a Three Stooges film or goofy wordplay he thought up (see if you can possibly figure out why he thought Milwaukee Bucks player Brook Lopez's nickname should be Stream Rope-ez).
I've definitely adopted his quest for the odd and amusing, from cowbell fishing for trout to my love of "Mystery Science Theater 3000." And, seeing as how he's a patent-holding man of science, he also inspires me to continue learning new subjects and skills.
It might feel like I'm giving these character traits too much credit, but they helped me navigate the past year-plus of the pandemic, aka "the panny" or "the panini." Finding anything to even temporarily lift my spirits since March 2020 has been one part of keeping me sane.
My dad's example of always wanting to learn also helped, as I've expanded my cooking skill set while stuck inside, and have become a rudimentarily skilled fly fisher. And, thanks to my dad mastering contemporary technology, we've emailed back and forth our musings and jokes about the topics of the day, even writing the odd poem or parody about cleaning up the yard or getting our vaccines.
Certainly, it's taken more than just watching old MST3K episodes or learning how to make deep-fried tofu sandwiches to manage the past year — the lessons of patience and kindness my mom imbued me helped a great deal, as well as everything my wife has done while trapped inside with me for months on end — but they didn't not help.
A sense of humor is powerful tool when the world gets messed up, and luckily I have just enough of one to get by. I have my dad to thank for that.

Counting on dad to cheerlead
When I was a kid, I could always count on my dad's encouragement of everything I did. When I wrote a paper, he would tell me how impressed he was with my writing. He even saved the essays I did. He showed one to me recently, and let's just say the writing was cringe-worthy. He didn't see that though. To him, it's just something his daughter wrote, and he loves it.
I get that now. I have two teenage daughters, one who loves to write and one who loves art. To me, all their work is wonderful – even the stuff they tell me is cringe-worthy.
The thing is, it's not socially acceptable to go around bragging to everyone about how wonderful your kids are. And "funny kid stories" quickly get boring to those who don't have a vested interest in the kids in question.
That's where my dad comes in. I can always call him to brag about something my kids did. He'll be just as proud of them as I am. When one of my daughters says something that makes me laugh, the first thing I think is that I have to tell my dad about it — because he's as eager to hear the stories as I am to share them.
I don't think my dad thinks it's all that amazing that he's so interested in my kids. He's a grandpa; that's what he does. But it means the world to me to have someone to share all the little things that happen in my kids' lives that feel ordinary to most people, but are extraordinary to me.
I don't know if he appreciates those moments so much because he loves my kids or because he loves me. I don't know if his appreciation of those moments makes him a wonderful dad or a wonderful grandpa. But I suspect it's all of the above.

Memories that outlived Dad
The last family trip with Dad ended at The World's Only Corn Palace in Mitchell, S.D.
I had just turned 16 and Dad died just weeks later, ending a long bout with lung and brain cancer. We were aiming to go farther from our home in Eau Claire, a sort of American West journey in a wood-paneled station wagon pulling a pop-up camper.
Dad simply got too sick to continue. But that's not what I remember from those days on the road; the moments that stuck with me for life were the exact things my parents had in mind when they planned the route:
► A visit with my dad's siblings and their families in northwestern Minnesota. He came from a big farm family, most of whom lived in that region, and we saw them infrequently. But it felt like we belonged, especially for Dad, who snapped right back to his old self, full of quick wit and energy. It was as though the visit briefly transported him back to pre-cancerous times.
► A stop to see and meet new in-laws, not long after my older sister married into a family from southern Minnesota. I remember feeling as though our big family had just gotten bigger, and more interesting. I also remember sleeping in a hot, stuffy camper with my five younger siblings.
► And then probably the most touristy thing we did: a walk through a giant shrine to America's corn industry. I remember a huge cob statue and then being alternately fascinated and bored by the various plaques and paraphernalia inside the Corn Palace.
As I think about those moments, it reminds me that a dad's job can sometimes be as simple as setting the stage for treasured memories. And those memories can live long after Dad is gone.

Making a son look good
For nearly 37 years my dad worked as a broadcasting engineer for WISN TV, meaning he had to be up around 2:30 a.m. to make it to the station on time for the morning news broadcast. The reason the television anchors look and sound so good is because of the dozens of faceless people behind the camera, like my dad, who made sure the miracle of television runs smoothly while the audience enjoys their morning coffee.
My dad's mom died when he was 6 years old, making my Puerto Rican grandfather a single father with six kids at the time. Having so many siblings with little to no adult supervision made for some humorous stories, but he always made sure to remind us that no one was watching them because he didn't have a mom at home like my brother and I did.
Growing up without a mom made my dad push my brother and I to always appreciate my mother because he wished his had been around to watch him grow up, get married and become a father.
My mother appreciated his support and in return was the strict enforcer of the 8 p.m. quiet rule so my dad could get the rest that he needed.
Throughout my childhood, when we were getting ready for school in the morning my mom had WISN on the TV. Who knows, maybe they'll go to a wide shot of the studio and we could see my dad working one of the cameras.
When my dad came home the last thing he wanted to watch was the news.
"I spent eight hours watching that, why would I want to watch that on my time off?," he would say.
It wasn't until I was a producer for WTMJ-AM radio, that I really understood what those early morning hours actually felt like. The all-day exhaustion, lack of quality sleep and mix in paranoia about an on-air blooper, I had no idea how he did it for so long.
I remember early in my producing days messing up a lot and I was worried I would get fired. I told my dad what was happening, and he gave me som advice that only a true broadcast professional would know.
"Did all the commercials play when they were supposed to be played?," he asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Then that's all you need," he said. "As long as the commercials play when they're supposed to play and the money keeps rolling in, they're not going to fire you. Do you know how expensive it is to train someone? Let them yell at you. But as long as the commercials play at the right time, they won't fire you. If they fire you it's going to cost them so much more money to train someone to do your job, it's cheaper to keep you around."
I felt SO MUCH better after that.
In 2018, I was working as a political reporter for The Journal Times in Racine covering the race for Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District and who would succeed longtime representative Paul Ryan.
While I was covering that race, I was invited to tape a segment on UpFront with Mike Gousha on WISN. I told them I would come on, but I didn't tell them who my dad was. It turns out, my dad had a similar thought.
When I arrived at the WISN studio and met with the executive producer, she told me "I didn't know Ivan was your dad. And I had to hear that from someone else!"
My dad later told me he didn't want to tell anyone that his son was going on the show because he didn't want anyone to think there was any nepotism or favoritism at play.
When I walked into the studio my dad was there to control the cameras as the robotic operator for the show. I sat down at the desk, across from Gousha. My dad was in the control room and watched as the aging news anchor talked politics with a young reporter who could be coming for his job. I'm kidding, Gousha, relax.
But my dad was nervous. After I finished taping I asked him, "how did it go?"
"Don't ever do that again," he said. "Or at least don't come on a show that I'm working. I was freaking out."
There was something about being at work, making sure your son looks and sounds good on air that was a little too much for him to take in the control room.
But now he won't have to worry about that happening again. A few weeks ago my dad retired. No more early mornings unless it's for a tee time.
I took him out to lunch and we reminisced about the past and planned for the future. We discussed when would be the best time for him to come over to my house and help me put together a crib for the next Torres boy that's due to arrive in the fall.

A quiet dad, until a Packer touchdown
Many of my favorite memories of my dad, Joe Siegler, are the small, day-to-day moments he shows his love and support.
After high school, I decided to go to college in Ohio. My dad made the 12-hour drive multiple times to drop me off or pick me up. When I got sick during Christmas break my freshman year and missed my ride back, he took time off work to drive me, making the trip there and back in two days.
Now, when he reads an article I've written that he particularly likes, he'll text me to say that he's proud of me. There's nothing quite like hearing that from your dad, especially on tougher days.
I love the way we gently poke fun at each other and the Sundays we spend watching Green Bay Packers games together. My dad is a relatively quiet guy, but he'll get loud and excited after a touchdown or a particularly good catch. It always makes my day.
Throughout my life, my dad has taught me the value of hard work and how to be good to people. He's exemplified how to care for those you love most through kindness and self-sacrifice. I know that if I ever need him, he'll drop what he's doing without hesitation to help."

A father's wallet and bragging rights
I was the first member of my family to go away to college. My father was a handy guy. He wanted to go to a vocational school, but his parents sent him to a college prep high school, where he struggled. After getting out of the Navy, he settled into a long career with the local gas company and made beautiful furniture on his own time.
Dad had poor vision in one eye and described himself as a slow reader, but he worked through two newspapers every day and did crosswords in pen. So maybe he played a role in his oldest child going to journalism school.
As a bookish boy I didn't feel I had a lot in common with my father. He was so gregarious he could easily strike up conversations with strangers at a bus stop. Back then, I was not like that, yet I somehow chose a profession that often requires me to initiate conversations with strangers. Once in a while today when I'm schmoozing someone, my wife will turn to me and kindly say, 'You're channeling your father."
Even though our personalities were different, I always felt that my father had my back, which he demonstrated once by showing up at school to verbally challenge a teacher he felt had treated me unfairly. But on a holiday visit home from Marquette during my freshman year, I learned how deeply he supported me.
I dropped into the local bowling center. Dad bowled in a 70-man Wednesday night neighborhood league. He was related to half of them. Over and over, I heard from these guys how proud my father was.
"He brags about you all the time," one of them told me. "He takes your little articles out of his wallet and makes everybody look at them."
When I got to Marquette I immediately volunteered for the school newspaper in those print-centric 1970s. As a freshman, of course, I got small beginner assignments about announcements and campus meetings, which I would clip out of the twice-weekly Tribune and mail home as proof I was doing something productive.
My father kept these in his weathered wallet so he could pull them out and foist them on his friends and relatives, guys who worked in steel mills and on construction crews and for beer distributors and may have found their campus contents incomprehensible. But they were dads, too, so they would never begrudge my father his moments of pride.

He'll be there in 10 minutes
Parents raise their children to be independent. Well, that is their hope at least. But often children even well into adulthood are still dependent on them.
That's been proven true too many times for me to count. One occasion sticks out though. Like the time this out-of-work journalist was leaving a story assignment late in the evening with no money in my pocket, not even a credit card, when my car ran out of gas.
I refused to believe that this good mileage car had no gas. I literally rocked the car back and forth under the false hope that a spark would be enough to ignite whatever residue was left. I began to bargain with her (because everyone personifies their vehicle as a woman): "I'll only put premium gas in you," "I'll hand wash every weekend." (The things we bargain for when we are in that foxhole.)
Fear gripped me. I'm gonna get a lecture from my dad. I could hear the speech: "You should know where your oil goes. You shouldn't be driving around on 'E.'" In my panic, I reasoned that I could just walk the ten miles home alone in the dark.
I called my dad and said: "I know you are gonna be mad, but I don't need a lecture. My car is out of gas." He responds: "Where are you?"
I told him. He said he will be there in 10 minutes. It seemed like forever, but I was relieved when his Cadillac, which he worked very hard for, drove up. He emptied the small red one-gallon canister in my tank.
"Where did you get the gas from?" I asked.
"It's the gas for the snowblower," he responded.
Luckily Chicago didn't have a bad winter that year.

Coliform analysis for tracking bacteriological contamination pathways in Rural water sources
Odonkor, S.T.; Addo, K.K.
Water is life assess to safe water is essential for human development. Water related diseases such as infectious diarrhoea, microbial dysentery and cholera occur as a result of microbial contamination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total and faecal coliform status of the drinking water sources in the Dangme West District of Ghana and to determine the contamination pathways, aimed at identifying appropriate intervention methods to reduce peril of potential infections. A total of four hundred and sixtyfour (464) water samples were collected for the study. The sampling period spanned one year across two seasons in Ghana: the dry and rainy seasons. The results obtained indicated that all the water sources were of poor quality in terms of microbial distributions with total coliform and faecal coliform counts ranging between 0 to 2.4x103 MPN/100 mL. Disease risk assessment of the various waters sources indicated that dam water sources presented with a high disease risk, while borehole water sources had a low disease risk. The bacteria contamination was highest in the dry season P <0.05 than in the rainy season. In a nutshell, to reduce the level of bacterial contamination of drinking water sources there should be an incessant education on issues such as: environmental awareness, cultivation of sanitation habits to ensure that surroundings and water sources are not indiscriminately polluted.
Bacteriology Department [105]
The Bacteriology Department aims to improve the quality of life first for Ghanaians and the world at large by conducting research into bacterial diseases of public health importance to Ghana and globally. In addition to working on enteric pathogens and sexually transmitted diseases, the department's current main focus is on the two most important mycobacterial diseases of public health importance to Ghana, namely Buruli ulcer (BU) and tuberculosis (TB).

Girls Varsity Basketball · Feb 27 Girls Hoops beat Laurel for WPIAL Championship; 5th Title in 8 Years
41 Laurel High School
50 Bishop Canevin High School
Laurel High School
This was more like it.
After one year away, the celebration had the energy of a group that did not get to have this moment last year. This year it was their turn, again.
The Bishop Canevin Girls Basketball team defeated the Laurel Spartans 50-41 to win the WPIAL Class AA Championship at the Petersen Events Center on Thursday night. It is the 4th WPIAL title in the last 5 seasons, and 5th in the last 8 seasons for the girls basketball team.
Laurel started in a zone and Diajha Allen hit two three pointers to force the Spartans out of the zone. Then Allen started to drive. She found Rutanya Taylor on the block for two easy layups. Allen finished the quarter with 11 points and 2 assists and the Crusaders had a four point lead after one quarter.
The pace slowed down a little in the second quarter, but BC was able to extend the lead. Laurel scored the first four points of the second quarter to tie the game at 19. Then Alyssa Pollice hit a three pointer to break the tie and start and start a 10-o run. She hit a layup after an Allen steal and the lead was back up to five points. Then Savanah Abbott hit a three and Taylor scored off an offensive rebound to cap the run. Canevin lead by eight at the half.
Laurel started the second half desparate to get back in the game and the Spartans scored the first four points of the third quarter to cut the lead to four. But Savanah Abbott grabbed a defensive rebound and dribbled for 80 feet for a layup that pushed the lead to six. Then with the lead back down to four, Pollice hit a free throw and Allen scored the last six points of the third quarter on three driving layups. BC lead by 11 after three quarters.
Canevin held it's ground in the fourth quarter. Abbott hit a layup to push the lead to 13. Laurel was able to hit some shots, but never really put a dent into the Crusaders' lead. Allen hit one more layup and two foul shots. Pollice hit all four of her foul shots and Lauren Kirsch added a couple of points from the foul line. Laurel scored the last 5 minutes in the game's final minute, but that just made the final score 50-41 and the Bishop Canevin celebration was under way.
Diajha Allen finished the game with 21 points and 4 assists. Alyssa Pollice had 12 points and 4 rebounds. Savanah Abbott had 9 points and 3 steals. Rutanya Taylor finished with 6 points and 5 rebounds. Lauren Kirsch added 2 points and 3 rebounds.
The girls are now off until Friday when they play in the first round of the PIAA Class AA State Championships. Opponents, Time and Location will be announced on Sunday.


Newly formed French sales house Roissy Films-Celluloid Dreams is poised to become one of Europe's biggest players on the animation scene having added two animated features to its slate - The General And Bonapart and Three Old Ladies (Les Triplettes De Belleville).
The General And Bonapart, a new children's animated feature directed by Andrei Khrjanovski, is a Franco-Italian co-production produced by Stephane Tchal Gadjieff and Franck Verpillat. Delivery is scheduled for November 2001 in original English, French and Italian versions. Images are derived from original drawings by celebrated designer Barkhin.
Roissy-Celluloid is also selling Three Old Ladies (Les Triplettes De Belleville), a Franco-UK co-production financed by the BBC. It is set to be produced by France's Les Armateurs, the company behind hit animation Le Lion A La Belle Etoile.
Roissy-Celluloid is also selling the Planete Sauvage collection and has selected territorial rights to much of the Aardman Animation catalogue.
"We want to become a pole for the cream of European animation. Europe has the quality necessary to become a world force in the field," said Raphael Berdugo, co-chief of Roissy Celluloid.
Having recently engineered the merger of Roissy and Celluloid, Berdugo is set to add to its slate titles coming from its new sister company Celluloid Dreams and a new wedge of titles from the prolific Pierre Grise Productions. These include L'Homme Des Foules, a John Lvoff project with Maria De Madeiros and Jerzy Radziwilowicz; the now completed Jacques Rivette drama Va Savoir, starring Emmanuelle Beart, Sergio Castellito and Helene de Fougerolles; and Aie, a tangled love story directed by Sophie Fillieres.
Also on Roissy-Celluloid's AFM slate is hot Berlin title Water Drops On Burning Rocks and Ozon's next picture Sous Le Sable which is currently in pre-production with Charlotte Rampling and Maigret star Bruno Cremer linked.

En géométrie, le grand dodécaèdre étoilé est un solide de Kepler-Poinsot. C'est l'un des quatre polyèdres réguliers non convexes.

Il est composé de 12 faces pentagrammiques, avec trois pentagrammes se rencontrant à chaque sommet.

Les 20 sommets ont la même disposition que ceux du dodécaèdre régulier.

Raser les pyramides triangulaires donne un icosaèdre régulier.

Si les faces pentagrammiques sont cassées en triangles, il est relié topologiquement au triaki-icosaèdre, avec la même connectivité de faces, mais avec des faces triangulaires isocèles plus grandes.

Comme une stellation

Il peut aussi être construit comme la troisième des trois stellations du dodécaèdre, et référencé sous le .
