Whenever teenagers get behind the wheel, it's natural for parents to worry, because sadly, car crashes claim the lives of more teenagers than anything else in this country. According to the CDC, teenage drivers are 3 times more likely to get in a crash than someone over the age of 20.
Many things in modern life make it hard to stay focused on the road, including cell phones, radios, friends in the car, speed, alcohol and drug use. While these distractions present dangers for drivers of ALL ages, the risk of serious injury and even death is highest for new drivers, but don't despair! There are steps you can take to teach your son or daughter to be a mindful and responsible driver.
iRideSafe™ is filled with important teen driver safety information and resources including helpful videos and handouts to learn and discuss with your teenager. Remember, YOU are the key to your child's good driving habits.
Molly Welch's car crash occurred in 2008. She has forgotten what life was like before all the complications. She injured her brain as a result of the crash, and her life now is extremely challenging. She has had to learn how to walk, talk, even relearn how to swallow.
When the crash happened, she was a junior at Auburn University. Despite all the therapy she went through and the challenges she still faces today, she graduated from Auburn University and walked across the stage with her brother's assistance to receive her diploma.
A Second Later is a charitable organization with the mission of saving lives and putting an end to distracted driving.
Car crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens (CDC). The good news is that teen motor vehicle crashes are preventable. iRideSafe™ is committed to helping teens be safe, responsible drivers by providing free tools, resources and tips to help teens and their parents throughout a young driver's learning process.
If you text and drive, you're 23 times more likely to have a car crash, according to a study on driver distractions conducted by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.
Of all the distractions measured in the study, text messaging had the longest duration of "eyes off the road".
With an average distraction time of 4.6 seconds over a 6 second interval, that is like driving the length of an entire football field at 55 miles per hour without ever looking at the road!
Texting on a mobile device while operating a vehicle is prohibited in Georgia. That means no reading, typing or sending text messages. Drivers are not permitted to touch the keypad or look at the text screen. The law applies to all drivers, regardless of age, driving on public roads and highways -- even those stopped at a red light, or waiting in a turn lane.
iRideSafe™ and Montlick & Associates are a proud sponsor of the annual Road2Safety video contest.
The contest challenges students from 9 North Fulton County high schools to create a video, that sends a clear message to other new and inexperienced drivers about the dangers of distracted driving.
The videos are judged on creativity, originality and message. The strength of message carries the most weight when scored by judges.
Below are the 3 winning entries. To see all finalist videos and their powerful message, click here.
A cumulative total of at least forty (40) hours of other supervised driving experience, including at least six (6) hours at night.
At iRideSafe™ we want to give you the tools you need to be a safe driver. That starts from the beginning when you first learn to drive.
The Georgia Driver's Education Commission offers a scholarship to Georgia residents ages 15 to 17 who are actively enrolled in school, have a valid Georgia instructional driving permit and wish to satisfy the Joshua's Law driver's education requirement.
There is a simple application process that takes most parents and teens less than five minutes to complete.
Students awarded scholarships must redeem them with the provider they choose within 30 days and complete their driver's ed course in 180 days.

Grimsby Crown Court
Serial burglar jailed after being confronted by passer-by who heard the sound of breaking glass
Matthew Shaw, 31, admitted burglary and assault, had convictions for 88 previous offences and was now a 'sixth strike' burglar
Mark NaylorHumber Court Reporter
Matthew Shaw was jailed at Grimsby Crown Court after admitting burglary and assault
A serial burglar was stopped in his tracks after a sharp-eared passer-by suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking and went to investigate.
He confronted the raider and grabbed him around the neck to pull him to the ground but the burglar was "agile" enough to escape, a court heard.
Police later caught up with him after the break-in at the home of a man in his 80s.
Matthew Shaw, 31, of Lynmouth Drive, admitted burglary and assault on July 13.
Jeremy Evans, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that a man was walking past a property in Shakespeare Avenue, Scunthorpe, at 9.05am.
He heard the sound of glass smashing and went to investigate. He spotted Shaw with his hand in through a broken window in the kitchen area.
Man jailed for his part in 'ugly' 4am confrontation outside The Light nightclub in Scunthorpe
The glass was still in the window frame but Shaw was reaching over for the latch.
The 44-year-old witness shouted at Shaw, who looked straight at him.
The man reached out with his arm and put it around Shaw's neck, intending to pull him to the ground, but Shaw was "agile enough to make his escape".
He hit the witness on the back of the head as he fled.
The occupier of the property was in his 80s and the witness knew him.
"Thankfully, the resident was not in when the offence occurred," said Mr Evans.
Serial banned driver jailed after hurtling around Scunthorpe streets at hair-raising 90mph
Shaw had convictions for 88 previous offences and had been jailed for burglary for three-and-a-half years in February 2008, two-and-a-half years in September 2012 and five years in January 2015.
He was now a "sixth-strike" burglar.
Richard Lunn, mitigating, said Shaw pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.
He had already been recalled to prison until December 2019 after breaching his licence following his release from prison.
Shaw was jailed for two years and eight months.

Shell's Arctic drilling rig runs adrift in Alaskan harbor
*SHELL'S ARCTIC DRILLING PLANS ALL ADRIFT… THIS IS NOT A PRANK, BUT FACTUAL BREAKING NEWS… SHELL'S 514-FOOT DRILLING SHIP ARRIVES IN DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA, AND ACCORDING TO INDEPENDENT WITNESSES, IMMEDIATELY RUNS AGROUND… WHAT A FARCE.
By Kim Murphy July 15, 2012, 12:23 p.m.
SEATTLE — Shell's Arctic oil ambitions ran into new problems Saturday evening when the Discoverer drilling rig, slated to begin exploratory operations in the Chukchi Sea next month, ran adrift in stiff winds in Alaska's Dutch Harbor and came perilously close to the beach.
The vessel 's anchor failed to hold and the 514-foot ship began drifting, but its movement was halted when tug boats were called in to assist, Coast Guard spokeswoman Sara Francis told the Los Angeles Times.
"We don't know exactly what happened yet. We do know that the vessel's anchor didn't hold, they began to drift, they let out more anchor chain to slow that drift and called for immediate tug assistance," Francis said.
Photos shot by residents of the large fishing port in the Aleutian Islands show the Discoverer heart-stoppingly close to the beach, but Francis said the initial investigation suggests it did not actually ground on shore.
"It went extremely close, but the crew did not feel themselves impact anything, or feel the vibrations you feel when a vessel grounds," she said.
Dutch Harbor boat captain Kristjan Laxfoss, who was out on the beach as the vessel neared it, said it was clear to him that the ship had struck ground.
"The stern was on ground, there's no question about that. I think everybody that was down there knew that," Laxfoss said in a telephone interview.
He said the beach was mostly rocks and gravel, but there are a few sandy spots that might have softened the impact. "It's what, a 500-foot ship? You might not feel anything if you go very slowly up on the beach."
Francis said divers were en route Sunday morning to inspect the hull to determine whether there was any damage.
Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said the vessel veered "very near the coast," and divers should be in position by Monday morning for detailed inspections. Company staff is now trying to determine what made the vessel come loose from its moorings, he said.
The company has been dealing with an array of last-minute problems as it prepares for its first offshore drilling in the Arctic in two decades. The company last week had to apply for a change in its air permit for the drill bit generator on the Discoverer when the generator failed to meet tough EPA requirements for nitrogen oxide and ammonia emissions.
And Shell is still trying to win U.S. Coast Guard certification for its oil-spill response vessel, the Arctic Challenger, which is still moored in Bellingham, Wash., finishing lengthy renovations.
Sources familiar with the overhaul of that vessel said engineers are redesigning the strut supports for the flare boom assembly — with which natural gas extracted from an oil spill would be flared off — and attempting to finish installing high-pressure hose onto the vessel's storage reels. Sea trials are now set for July 23.
Once those are complete, the Arctic Challenger can begin steaming north, either directly to the Arctic or to join the rest of Shell's drilling fleet midway in Dutch Harbor, where the vessels are awaiting the dissipation of late-winter ice still lodged farther north.
Coast Guard officials said the weather around the Discoverer was improving. Winds on Sunday were forecast to decrease to 11 miles per hour with seas of four feet and rain — a typical, balmy Dutch Harbor summer day.

Survivor of crash now recovering at home
By Mark Wilsonmwilson@empiretribune.com
A roadway that was wet with rain may have contributed to a one-vehicle accident that took the life of 19-year-old Somervell County resident Karla Delaine Lowry and hospitalized Morgan Taylor, according to the Highway Patrol.
Lowry was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash by Somervell County Justice of the Peace Scott May late Saturday afternoon, DPS Sergeant Dub Gillum stated in an email.
Taylor, 21, was flown by air ambulance to Harris Methodist Hospital, where she was admitted in critical/stable condition. Taylor, a former Glen Rose ISD student, checked herself out of the hospital a couple of days later and is recovering at home.
Taylor was driving a 2002 Ford Focus Taylor northbound on State Highway 144 South, 1.3 miles south of Glen Rose just before 5 p.m. Saturday. The car failed to make a curve, slid off the roadway and struck a tree on the passenger side.
One person who posted a message on the Wylie Funeral Home website in memory of Lowry wrote, "Karla touched more lives in her short life (than) most people touch in their long lives," and added, "I just wish I had half the amount of friends that she has."
Both Lowry and Taylor worked at Dairy Queen in Glen Rose. They were roommates living in a Somervell County residence just south of Glen Rose. Taylor was driving Lowry to work when the accident occurred.
Dairy Queen co-manager Deborah Carnes said Taylor had worked there for a little over a year. Lowry had only worked there for three or four months, and had been living in Granbury until very recently.
Taylor had attended both Brazos River Charter School as well as Glen Rose High School at various times.
Bengie Laning, principal at Brazos River Charter School, confirmed that Taylor had enrolled there for two separate stints during her high school years.
Laning said Taylor "was always a very sweet, kind-hearted person, always willing to help."
Lowry was a 2016 graduate of Granbury High School.
"She was a really good worker, probably our best worker as a young person," Carnes said of Lowry.
Carnes has been a manager at the Dairy Queen for more than 20 years and said that this was not the first time a fellow employee had died in a traffic accident.
She said that Jamie Baker of Glen Rose lost her life in a collision with a drunk driver about 20 years ago during her senior year at Glen Rose High School.
Liz Huffman, another Dairy Queen employee, said that the loss hit hard because the workers there seem like family to her.
"These kids are kind of like our kids because we see them every day," Huffman said.
Huffman said Lowry, "always had a smile. She was very friendly, very sweet. She was always happy and friendly."

Герби воєводств Польської Республіки (1918—1939) не були офіційно затверджені, хоча цього вимагав указ Президента Речі Посполитої від 13 грудня 1927 року. На основі цього указу було створено комісію, яка повинна була підготувати проєкти гербів. Було багато контроверз, зокрема стосовно гербів неісторичних воєводств. Проте таки було все узгоджено й проєкти намалював Вацлав Гранічний. Для нових воєводство створено герби, які поєднували в собі символіку інших земель та воєводств Речі Посполитої. Кінцевий варіант гербів був підготовлений Зигмунтом Лоренцом. Між 8 червня та 6 липня було підготовлено проєкт указу Президент Речі Посполитої щодо надання гербів воєводствам. Проте він так і не був втілений у життя через заплановану реформу адміністративного поділу. Реформу було проведено 1 квітня 1938 року. В травні 1939 року після змін кордонів Познанського воєводства було піднято питання щодо герба, проте процес затвердження символіки не дійшов до кінця через початок війни 1 вересня 1939 року.

Окрім центрального проєкту були також окремі спроби встановлення гербів воєводств. Зокрема, Крайовий сеймик Познанського воєводства встановив герб — білого орла Пшемисла ІІ з гербом Каліського воєводства. 21 листопада 1928 року сілезький воєвода звернувся до Міністерства внутрішніх справ стосовно затвердження історичного гербу Сілезького воєводства. На тому гербі було зображено золотого орла з часів Болеслава І на французькому щиті кольору темного кобальту. До цих проєктів не було застережень, проте і не було затверджено, оскільки це планувалося зробити для всіх воєводств одразу і в одному документі.

Magazine Fitprime increases its capital with 2.5 million euros Vertis SGR joins as new investor 12 January 2021
Fitprime, a digital platform that allows everyone to keep fit both in the gym and at home, has just announced it closed a capital increase of 2.5-million-euros. Vertis SGR, as lead investor, joined the operation through the funds "Vertis Venture 2 Scaleup" and "Vertis Venture 4 Scaleup Lazio", along with the previous shareholders, LVenture Group, Italian Angels for Growth (IAG) and Club degli Investitori.
Fitprime was founded in 2016, thanks to LUISS EnLabs, the Acceleration Program of LVenture Group, and since then it has been quickly escalating the fitness market, becoming a reference point and the easiest wayto access thousands of sports centers all over Italy, just with a monthly subscription and without any restrictions. In 2018 Fitprime launched a platform entirely dedicated to Corporate Wellness that allows companies to promote the well-being of their employees by focusing on nutrition, physical and mental health.
While sports centers closed down in order to contain the spread of infections from Covid-19, Fitprime took the chance to create an additional business line in record time. As a matter of fact, it launched Fitprime TV, a new platform totally dedicated to home workouts, with thousands of on-demand and live lessons by the best trainers.
Thanks to this new round of investment, Fitprime team intends to keep growing on the Italian market, reaching over 3,500 sports centers for new partnerships, while growing its Corporate solution and promoting Fitprime TV, starting its process of internationalization.
Matteo Musa, CEO and co-founder of Fitprime, said: "The way we think about wellness is a constant challenge to revolutionize it: that's why we founded Fitprime. The sudden closure of gyms and sports centers challenged us to find a new solution to carry out our vision, turning a threat to our business into a new opportunity. Thanks to Fitprime TV, we have actually extended our offer to home-workouts, to support all those who embraced working from home. This product has allowed us to strengthen our offer for the B2B market, retaining a high number of active users despite the forced stop of training in gyms. Today we are really proud to start a new chapter with Vertis SGR and our previous investors, who acknowledged the potential of our company and will join us in this new, crucial phase of our growth."
Alessandro Pontari, Senior Investment Manager of Vertis, declared: "The health & fitness sector has a significant space for digital growth and the pandemic has accelerated this process of change, shaping the ways we will do sports from now on. In Fitprime we have found the best possible answer to this need Matteo's team has shown a great ability to conquer new channels, entering the B2B segment, and to quickly launch new products on the market".
Luigi Capello, CEO of LVenture Group, declared: "Fitprime has been able to react to the changes imposed by the pandemic, developing Fitprime TV in just a few weeks and transforming a difficult situation into a business opportunity. The team has shown great resilience and adaptability, perfecting their offer in a market which is estimated to grow at an annual rate of over 30%, reaching 60 billion dollars, in the post-Covid scenario. This new, investment round will consolidate the startup's leadership on the Italian market and will support it in the scale-up at an international level".
Antonio Leone, President of Italian Angels for Growth, and Giancarlo Rocchietti, President and Founder of the Investors Club, concluded: "With this new investment, we put our trust in Fitprime once again. Even in 2020, the team has proven to be able to face new challenges, through an excellent team who was able to intercepti new needs and pivot its offer according to the restrictions due to the pandemic, but always shaped around people's needs and well-being ".

Istanbul Turkish Airlines TK 1970 16:10
Visitors Receive Warm Regional Welcome Into Shakespeare's Airport
A warm Shakespeare welcome will be given to passengers arriving at Birmingham Airport, following the unveiling of a new installation to greet the millions of visitors arriving into the region through 'Shakespeare's Airport' each year.
In partnership with destination management organisation, Shakespeare's England, the new artwork is located in the arrivals pier of the terminal building.
It gives visitors a taste of what the region can offer, showcasing the range of wonderful tourist attractions including the Royal Shakespeare Company, Kenilworth Castle, Warwick Castle, Leamington Spa, Bicester Village and Shakespeare's Family Houses – which have all supported the campaign.
Back row (from left to right): Helen Peters (CEO of Shakespeare's England), Geoff Spooner (Chairman of Shakespeare's England) and Paul Kehoe (CEO of Birmingham Airport).
Front row (from left to right): Emmeline Foster, Mollie Taylor and David Jackson all actresses and actors from Shakespeare Aloud!
This is just one of a number of exhibitions and events which the Shakespeare's England region is coordinating in the region to celebrate 400 years of William Shakespeare's legacy. 2016 commemorates 400 years since the death of the world famous playwright and this special anniversary year is a unique opportunity to visit his home of Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding area.
The welcome will be in place throughout 2016 and has been made possible thanks to support from the Royal Shakespeare Company, Kenilworth Castle, Warwick Castle, Warwick District Council, Bicester Village and Shakespeare's Family Houses.
Geoff Spooner, Chairman of Shakespeare's England and General Manager of Warwick Castle, said, "With over 10m passengers passing through Birmingham Airport every year, this is a fantastic opportunity for Shakespeare's England to showcase some of the world class visitor attractions that its members provide and which are enjoyed by millions of visitors every year.
"This presence will generate increased awareness of Shakespeare's England and with it, help to promote the equally impressive range of restaurants, theatre, overnight accommodation and many other attractions in this outstanding region."
Birmingham Airport markets itself as Shakespeare's Airport overseas, particularly in China and the US where so many people study and love The Bard's work.
Jo Lloyd, Commercial Director for Birmingham Airport and Deputy Chair of Shakespeare's England, said, "Birmingham Airport is proud to be Shakespeare's Airport, which is proving to be very successful with overseas markets. This welcome not only cements our branding but also allows our passengers to feel involved in The Bard's anniversary celebrations from the minute they arrive."
Guests from the region's business and tourism community were invited to a special event at the airport today (8th March) to witness the unveiling, and were treated to a special live performance from Shakespeare's Aloud! actors from the Shakespeare's Family Houses.


I currently use 2003 at work and have 2003 and 2010 on one of my machines at home. I'll work on the 2010 question when I get home.
But first, where is this "delete row icon" that you say you could "continually hit"?
Is it available in 2003?
As far as I know, there is no "delete row icon" as a default "continually clickable" icon.
Please explain...I could be wrong.

As far as I know, any command that is "buried" within a ribbon can be placed on the Quick Access Toolbar, similar to using the Customize...Commands options under the Tools menu in previous versions.
P.S. I suspect that the Customize feature is how you got the icon you mentioned in your OP. Like I said before, the Delete Row icon is not on any toolbar by default. It's buried under Edit...Delete...Entire Row, requiring 4 clicks including the OK button.

Why be a Scout Volunteer?
Adventure is at the heart of everything we do. It is the single most important thing that sets Scouts apart. Through the everyday adventure of Scouting, young people and adult volunteers regularly experience new challenges that enrich their lives. Scouting helps our young improve their key skills, including social skills, teamwork ability, leadership ability and confidence. Our volunteers also enjoy the benefits of Scouting by learning new skills, making new friends and enjoying a social life with a purpose. There are hundreds of different volunteer roles on offer, from management positions, running activities to behind the scenes roles like driving the minibus or painting and decorating.
1) I'd like to get involved, but I don't have any skills?
Volunteers can help in many ways. You might have first aid knowledge that you could teach the group, or you might be able to teach our Scouts a thing or two about DIY.
If you're good with accounts you could be Group treasurer, or if you're a culinary whizz you could run cooking sessions with the young people. Everyone has a skill (whether you know it or not) and we can make use of it.
2) I would like to volunteer but I don't have the time?
Volunteering for The Scout Association is easy, fun and flexible. We have a huge variety of roles to suit everyone, and whatever role you choose, we'll make sure you're properly trained and supported. You can do a couple of evenings a month or one hour a week: how much time you give is completely up to you. With whatever time you can give to Scouting, hopefully we'll be able to inspire you by showing how easy and rewarding it can be to volunteer with Scouts.
3) Can you tell me more about volunteer training?
Our award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouting as our young people. Our modular training scheme delivers the full spectrum of required skills. Volunteers can choose training modules that are relevant to the role that they do, ranging from leadership to running residential experiences and first aid.
Our training scheme was recognised with a National Training Award from UK Skills. It is one of the reasons why we have managed to increase our volunteer numbers over the past few years, against the national trend.
4) What else can I get out of volunteering?
As well as gaining externally recognised skills and having a brilliant time, Scouting also offers the chance to build on personal skills, like teamwork, confidence and leadership. Over 90% of our volunteers believe that the skills and experiences they have gained through Scouting have been of relevance to their working or personal lives, so we're certainly doing something right.
A study of volunteers found that more than two-thirds of respondents reported a direct correlation between their volunteer experience within Scouting and gaining employment or career development.
5) Sound good – How do I find out more?
As long as you're over 18, you can help out as an adult volunteer in Scouting. There is no upper age limit for adult volunteers. If you are aged between 14 to 18, there is the option of becoming a Young Leader. To find out more about the different roles within Scouting and to volunteer with Ifield Scout Group please contact us.


I have been a professional photographer for over twenty years, mostly photographing people and events, but skilled in all types of photography. My love of photography and travel started when I was 12 years old when my family went cross country from NY to Calif and back. Then a photo class in high school cemented it. I love capturing moments as they happen – being ready for and predicting the next important moments, and also knowing when to take charge of a situation.
Many of my clients and I have been together for 5, 10, 15 and even 20 years. I pride myself in having so many long term relationships.
My clients and shoots include business professionals/corporate portraits, actors/theatre, musicians/concerts, award dinners/shows/galas, non-profit events/fund raisers, universities, nervous brides and grooms, tons of teenage girls and boys (Bar and Bat Mitzvahs), authors, seminars/conferences, and corporate CEOs. I have photographed celebrities from film to rock stars and many politicians/political heads of state, including a President of the United States and two First Ladies.
My business is concentrated in Greater New York City but I travel anywhere, often to the West Coast, spending time in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles; I have shot in New Orleans, Nashville, Boston, Cape Cod — even other countries like Costa Rica, Anguilla and Haiti (for a non-profit fund raiser for a hospital).
When I am not doing my loves of photography, theatre, or music I can usually be found riding my motorcycle or traveling or doing both. I hope to have a camera in my hand until I can't hold one anymore. Until that time comes I am here, ready and willing to take care of your photography needs.


If you had been a movie patron back 73 years ago, you would have been able to experience at your local movie houses what most consider to be "The Golden Year of Hollywood."
The number of motion pictures released in that one year was a staggering number compared to the 2012 industry, but even more impressive, is the number of now-classic (by the true definition of the word) films.
Here is a list of 30 of those motion pictures.
They all played Salisbury and Rowan County, most of them numerous times.

Q: Use optimistic locking to to snapshot pricing information for a marketplace I am designing a two-sided market place, of which owners can rent out their assets for a price to renters.
Let's take an example of asset.rb
daily_rate :decimal
hourly_rate :decimal

Hypothetically if a renter wants to rent an asset. he/she will submit a request. It is reasonable that the renter should be paying the price of what he/she sees when making the request. I want to be able to lock in the price information so even when the owner changes the price during the booking. We can fetch the snapshot of that pricing when the request is made.
I have several ideas:
1) Store all price fields in the request model
It is the easiest method to store a snapshot of all the prices in the request model. It is what we are using now.
2) [Haven't tried] Use gems like papertrail
There are libraries and gems where I can use to store the historic changes of the price model. I read about optimistic locking the model for versioning. But I don't know if it is common practice to use this for storing pricing information as well.

A: I would handle this by having a separate model for asset and the Order that is created when a renter actually wants to rent something. Basically, your order would have at least the same two attributes as your asset (i.e., daily_rate and hourly_rate) as well as third attribute which you might call status.
When a potential renter selects an asset they want, your app will create an order instance with the current daily_rate and hourly_rate from the asset and the status "unconfirmed" (either as a String or enum). You should then show the renter a confirmation page with those rates and ask them if they still want to go ahead with the rental. If they say yes, you can set status to "confirmed".
This structure will prevent the users that rent assets from ever being able to change prices after the renter has placed an order. Even if the user renting the asset changed the prices in between the renter's initial request and the confirmation, the renter will have the option of completing the order at the prices available when they placed their initial request.

Success on the Tenure Track
Trower & Trower
Helping Nonprofit Boards Improve Governance
This phase may involve board retreats, clinics, workshops, or education sessions. It may also involve additional observations and meetings with the CEO and senior staff about leading alongside a board that is governing consequentially.
During retreats and clinics, we present key findings from the intake phase to the board in advance and then facilitate a conversation about confirmation of pre-existing beliefs, insights, and surprises. At these meetings we help the board learn new ways of doing business together, new ways of thinking, and new ways of governing to ensure effective partnerships with management. This leads to an action plan that enhances the board's effectiveness and augments the board's value as a strategic asset to the organization.
All meetings are followed within a week or two by a debriefing with the CEO, Board Chair and others deemed appropriate. We can also provide sample documents (e.g., statements of board member norms and expectations, committee charges, performance dashboards, and evaluation forms) that the board and management can use as models.
"During the 2013 Independent Schools Association of the Southwest meetings I attended Cathy Trower's presentation and felt I had struck gold. I devoured her book 'The Practitioner's Guide to Governance and Leadership: Building High-Performance Nonprofit Boards,' talked with the executive committee, and began designing a board curriculum for the year based on Cathy's work. The first board session was dynamic and energizing, with previously quiet people much more engaged, and they wanted more. I'm truly excited about the possibilities that tapping into Cathy's advice has opened up for us."

Петар Добровић (Печуј, 14. јануар 1890—Београд, 27. јануар 1942) био је српски сликар и политичар. Један је од водећих представника модернизма југословенске уметности између два светска рата. Као представник српског колоризма, био је познат по портретима и пејзажима. У раним годинама био је импресиониста и кубиста. Писао је и ликовну критику.

Био је председник мале, краткотрајне српско-мађарске Барањско-Бајске Републике која је проглашена 14. августа 1921. Убројен је међу 100 најзнаменитијих Срба.

Биографија
Српска породица Добровића потиче из Славоније, из Дарувара која се преселила у Нађкањижу где је бавећи се продајом стоке стекла велики углед и богатство. Овде је рођен и отац Петра Добровића. Добровићева мати, Ирена Хајдл, била је немачког порекла, рођена је у барањском градићу Шиклошу.

Петар Добровић је имао три брата: Николу, значајног српског архитекту, Стевана и Ђоку. Стеван и Ђока су уписали војну кадетску школу у Печују чији је питомац у то доба био и Мирослав Крлежа, каснији познати хрватски писац. Од тада датира и Добровићево познанство са Крлежом.

Петар Добровић је матурирао у печујској гимназији у којој су професори били из католичког реда цистерцита. Као гимназијалац доживео је многе непријатности. Често је нападан због своје српске народности. Тако је 1903. године гимназијски професор Абел Бузаши због убиства краља Александра Обреновића и његове супруге Драге, Добровића називао "српским убицом краљева".

После завршетка гимназије Добровић 1907 — 1908. године похађа скулпторски одсек Занатско-уметничке школе у Будимпешти, потом од 1909. до 1911. и тамошњу Ликовну академију. Професори су му познати уметници конзервативних схватања Еден Бало и Тивадар Земплењи. Касније ће на његово сликарство утицати Карољ Ференци. Први пут је излагао 1911. године у Музеју лепе уметности у Будимпешти - "Мучарњок". Од исте године, па све до избијања Првог светског рата боравио је у Паризу где је, између осталих, упознао и вајара Ивана Мештровића.

У међувремену објављује своје графике у угледним мађарским часописима и листовима као "Тет" (мађ.Tett), "Ма" (мађ. Ма у преводу "Дан") и "Њугат" (мађ. Nyugat у преводу "Запад").

У недељу, 20. маја 1918. у Печују се побунио 6. Новосадски пук. Оружаном сукобу се прикључио и темпераментни Петар Добровић који је због тога касније затворен.

После завршетка Првог светског рата, 14. новембра 1918. српска војска је запосела Барању и Бачку. Долазак српске војске у Печуј Добровић је дочекао са великим одушевљењем. Једно време је радио као преводилац нове власти. Добровић је био велики поборник идеје да се Печуј, Барања и Бачка у целини припоје Краљевини Срба, Хрвата и Словенаца.

Био је председник мале, краткотрајне српско-мађарске Барањско-Бајске Републике која је проглашена 14. августа 1921. године и која је трајала до 21. августа 1921. Као председник младе републике Добровић на челу делегације 16. августа креће у Београд где га прима премијер Никола Пашић који му одмах саопштава да Краљевина СХС није заинтересована за очување Бачко-Барањске Републике. Добровић се никада више није вратио у свој родни Печуј. Тада се настанио у Београду.

Петар Добровић је био у веома добрим односима са српским књижевницима Вељком Петровићем и Милошем Црњанским.

Студије сликарства започео је у Будимпешти, а наставио у Паризу. Био је од 1923. до 1925. године професор Уметничке школе у Београду. Године 1934. оснива и води вечерњи течај фигуралног цртања на Коларчевом народном универзитету. Један је од оснивача београдске Државне уметничке академије, (касније Академије ликовних уметности), 1937. године од када је постао и њен професор.

Од 1911. излагао је на бројним колективним изложбама у земљи и Европи, између осталих у Паризу, Будимпешти, Прагу, Београду, Дубровнику и Венецији. Прву самосталну изложбу имао је у родном Печују 1913. Био је члан и један од оснивача Уметничке групе "Облик" 1926. године.

Петар Добровић се 1925. године венчао са Олгом Хаџи из Новог Сада са којом је имао сина Ђорђа.

Двадесетих и тридесетих година 20. века Добровић живи и ради на релацији Београд - Париз. Једно време је боравио у Холандији и у Италији. На Азурној обали слика са својим пријатељем Миланом Коњовићем. Године 1934. био је један од оснивача часописа "Данас". Године 1940. се повлачи на Хвар, где слика пејзаже, а 1941. са породицом се враћа у Србију и склања се у Гроцку.

Умро је за време немачке окупације Београда у Другом светском рату у лифту зграде у Улици краља Петра 36, где је становао током једне рације која га је затекла на улици на Савиндан 1942. године. Сахрањен је на Новом гробљу у Београду.

Сликарска заоставштина и документација о раду Петра Добровића чува се у Галерији "Петар Добровић" у Београду.

Сликарство
Сликарки опус Петра Добровића налази се у самом средишту српског модернизма, а зенитни део је историографски код многих теоретичара постављен у четврту деценију прошлог века, тачније у онај део који је припадао колористичком експресионизму. Хедонистичко сликарство коме је изнад свега био привржен, одвело га је према изузетном богатству хроматске палете, колико и према блиставом светлу које се прелива у пуном интензитету преко његових платана. Већ на самом почетку бављења ликовном уметношћу, Добровић је чврсто постави форму, а тиме и композицију у сликама. Та почетна блискост реализму није му сметала да облик ослободи непотребних елемента, и да уместо њих унесе кратке бојене и валерске пасаже који су давали довољно неопходних визуелних података да се лако уоче главне ликовне и формалне особине његовог сликарског језика. Помало кубизоване сликовне представе из тог првог периода данас се виде као логична најава каснијег говора експресивних и колористичких језичко-пластичких особености. Медитерански пејзаж, маслињаци, воће, море, нага тела, само су биле погодне теме на којима је показао шта сликарство може да буде ако се изражава бојом и светлом. Велики опус Петар Добровић је оставио и у портретској уметности у коме је сачинио бројне анализе и карактеролошке студије које спадају међу највреднијим у српско уметности прве половине двадесетог века.

Наслеђе
Галерија "Петар Добровић" у Београду баштини и старе се о Добровићевој заоставштини и опусу од 1407 дела, од којих је 20 радова других уметника. Године 2021. отворена је реновирана Галерија, у Улици краља Петра 36 на четвртом спрату.

Падение Гипериона () — научно-фантастический роман американского писателя Дэна Симмонса, вышедший в 1990 году. Вторая книга тетралогии «Песни Гипериона», продолжение романа «Гиперион». Действие романа происходит во Вселенной Гипериона.

Сюжет
Действие романа развивается сразу после окончания первой книги.

На Гиперионе устанавливают нуль-Т канал и в систему прибывает эскадра военных кораблей Гегемонии. Война с Бродягами вот-вот начнется.

Секретарь Сената и председатель правительства Мейна Гладстон догадывается о паразитической роли Техно-Центра в жизни человечества и надеется использовать войну против вышедших из-под контроля ИскИнов.

Повествование ведется, главным образом, от лица независимого наблюдателя — второго кибрида Джона Китса — Джозефа Северна. По неизвестным ему причинам, он может во сне видеть, что происходит с паломниками, отправленными на Гиперион для встречи со Шрайком. Также Джозеф в роли «придворного» художника следует за Мейной Гладстон, и, таким образом, находится в курсе военных и политических шагов Гегемонии. И, в-третьих, как ИскИн он напрямую связан с Техно-Центром. В итоге Северн видит настоящую расстановку сил трёх сторон: Человечества, Техно-Центра и Бродяг.

Основные персонажи
Мейна Гладстон — Секретарь Сената и глава Правительства Гегемонии Человека. Сравнивалась со многими политическими деятелями прошлого. В молодости входила в состав «Группы» — тайной оппозиции Техно-Центру, которую основал сенатор Байрон Брон, отец Ламии. К началу романа догадалась о влиянии Техно-Центра на человечество. С помощью генерала Артура Морпурго подготовила внезапное уничтожение сфер сингулярности и изоляцию Техно-Центра, уничтожавшего планеты Сети под видом роев Бродяг. Привела к Падению Гегемонии уничтожив Нуль-Т Порталы Техно-Центра. Погибла во время наступившего хаоса после падения Гегемонии.

Генерал Артур Морпурго — генерал ВКС Гегемонии. Герой второй Хайтовской войны. Представляет собой типичный, даже во многом карикатурный тип военного. По его приказу были развернуты остатки ВКС Гегемонии для уничтожения сфер сингулярности. Погиб во время этой операции, не желая видеть последствия своего приказа, который привел к хаосу.

Контр-адмирал Уильям Ли — протеже Гладстон, бывший капитан 3 ранга, повышенный Гладстон. Прославился во время Островной войны на Мауи, командуя морским военным судном. Считался самым способным военным. Предложил наступательную стратегию против армии вторжения. Погиб вместе со своей эскадрой, пытаясь пробиться к центру «роя», успев передать Гладстон секретную мультиграмму, которая пролила свет на истинную природу роев.

Адмирал Кушуонт Сингх — один из высших командиров ВКС Гегемонии, в молодости входил вместе с Гладстон и Морпурго в Группу сенатора Брона. По собственному утверждению служит только Гегемонии. Не поверил сообщению о том, что под видом роев Бродяг скрывался флот Техно-центра. Убит Артуром Морпурго при попытке застрелить Мейну Гладстон.

Сенатор от Лузуса Габриель-Феодор Колчев — могущественный политический деятель, которого оппозиционеры прочили в преемники Гладстон. Супруг сенатора Сюдетты Шер — ярого оппозиционера Гладстон. Сам, однако, не разделял оппозиционных настроений. Занял пост секретаря Сената и главы Правительства после падения Гегемонии, что позволило Гладстон сказать «Секретарь Колчев правит империей, которой нет».

Полковник ВКС Герасимов — командующий наземной обороной стратегических объектов Гипериона. Погиб в сражении с десантом Бродяг.

ИскИн Уммон — элемент Техно-Центра, представляющий партию Ортодоксов. Раскрыл секрет Нуль-Т Порталов. Организовал утечку информации о планах Техно-Центра, передав её Северну. Инициировал гражданскую войну в Центре. Скорее всего, был уничтожен.

Советник Альбедо — ИскИн Техно-Центра, посол Техно-Центра в Гегемонии, представляющий все правящие элементы Центра.

Генерал ван Зейдт — командующий морскими пехотинцами — элитным подразделением ВКС. Погиб во время атаки Техно-Центра.

Награды
 1991 — Премия Локус
 1992 — British Science Fiction Award

A multimillion dollar transparent steel and ETFE roof canopy transforms the shopping experience at The District Docklands.
The waterfront shopping promenade on the edge of the CBD draws inspiration from Melbourne's iconic outdoor laneways. The all-weather roofing covering Star Crescent and Wharf Street was installed to activate the shopping, entertainment and dining destination all year round.
Buchan's design for the unique canopy presented the challenge of proposing a concept that enhances the existing centre through complementing the outdoor user experience, whilst expressing it in a contemporary architectural form.
The team explored a number of concepts with the overriding design imperative to touch as lightly and unobtrusively as possible on the 'open' sense of the existing centre. The result is additional protection from the elements borne from a simple and elegant 'floating' canopy that allows natural light to penetrate.
In addition to the expansive roof canopy, redevelopment of mall facades and shopping amenities have provided a significant boost to the overall shopping and leisure experience of the centre.
Buchan was also involved in the initial concept masterplan for the development.

Opening Segment: Brock comes out with Heyman and his goons (the Paul Heyman guys, who all lost last night no less) in order to gloat, but before he can even finish his first sentence – JOHN CENA's music hits (this should make things more interesting than waiting until the final segment where we would all inevitably expect him, and that's boring). He runs to the ring, clears it of everyone (Axel, Ryback and Cesaro) before staring down Brock again, shaking with fury. But strangely, he backs out of the ring still shaking with fury (this ought to leave the people confused, especially Heyman, but Lesnar could laugh it off).
Nothing else for the rest of the night from John, just a backstage segment with Heyman discussing what just happened, who is clearly confused but very much intrigued by the situation. Starts conversations about whether we think Cena is scared, too afraid to fight Lesnar. What could it be about?
Week 2 – RAW Opening segment: Piper's Pit with John Cena and Paul Heyman hosted by Roddy Piper. THIS is where we start talking about the need for John Cena to go to somewhere far darker in order to beat Brock Lesnar. The speculation surrounding Cena is that he left the ring last week because he was scared. And he was, he was scared of what he was going to do to Brock that night. He did not want to show that side of himself. Paul feeds on this and begs for it to come out. Piper sides with Heyman and tries to egg Cena on, willing him to be true to himself and show these people what he really can do.
Cena backs out, saying he will never do that. That he has too much responsibility, too much to lose from being selfish. If he comes out looking like a thug, he will let down the millions of people who look up to him. Piper tells him that if he doesn't tap into that selfishness, that ego, that side of desire, then he won't ever beat Brock Lesnar.
We later discover that John is not medically cleared to compete until Hell In A Cell at a later point in the show. This means he will not be on RAW next week as he needs to be retested.
SIDE NOTE – This will be a fitting second installment into the dark saga of John Cena, after the feud with Bray Wyatt earlier this year. I wouldn't want it to be the last installment though, I'd prefer to have a three-act set-up in order to have Cena turn into a vicious monster at the right time, and this might not be the right time.
Week 3 – RAW Paul plays on the fact that Cena cannot compete before Hell In A Cell to the following effect: John cannot get his frustration out beforehand, he cannot vent through anyone else. Anything that he wants to do will have to be in HIAC, or if he doesn't – he's going to face a killing like he did the last time at Summer Slam. But this time, it will be even worse. Because Brock will wring his neck just like any mere chicken in his farm, because inside the meshed gate, when they find themselves trapped in, Brock will prepare his feast in that steel cages.
This is his hunting ground, brings back the killer instinct from his MMA fighting days, and that switch might just go off again inside – to go in the for the kill as soon as he smells blood and not stop. Although in MMA, the referee stops you and the fight is over. Inside The Cell, there is no referee stoppage, there is no disqualification. Brock Lesnar might just end more than John Cena's career.
We see a video package about John Cena healing and watching Night of Champions with Lesnar v. Jericho at his home, and we see the uncontrollable anger that comes over him during it. We then cut to him in a hospital, where the doctor informs him that he is physically fit again, but he has some real psychological concerns to overcome. We then see Cena go back to his house, visibly concerned but with an air of determination, he goes back to working out.
It is announced that Cena will appear on Smackdown! to answer the WWE Universe.
SMACKDOWN! John Cena comes out to talk to the people – he talks about how furious it made him to watch Lesnar defend the WWE Championship, and to victimise Jericho. Because it brought back the feelings of helplessness that went through him during the match, the fact that at every turn he kept trying to fight back but couldn't do a damn thing. And it pissed him off, but there's a dozen Make A Wish kids out there, who he doesn't want to let them see that in their last moments, the guy they looked upto was no better than a thug.
Week 4 – The final RAW, a week before the Pay-Per-View. Paul Heyman's promo: chastises Cena for his inner 'thug' – he brazenly put it on display. It was his thuggishness that allowed him to reach the success he has. Calls Cena a hypocrite.
He goes on talk about the successes of his client. Brock has never lost in HIAC – and he faced The Phenom. He has never been pinned or submitted in a steel cage in WWE – v. Heyman / v. Vince / v. Triple H. What could Cena possibly do? He should just try not to catch his jean shorts in the metal structure, that will be hard enough for him. Await an answer, nothing happens, Cena doesn't show up for the big confrontation.
Throughout the night, we see Cena attack Paul Heyman Guys – Cesaro / Ryback / Axel without mercy, completely destroying them. He throws RyBack off the stage, he chokes Cesaro into submission and AAs Axel through both announce tables, one after the other in quick succession (don't drag it out like you usually do, people are programmed to expect the announce table and so just doing it once and trying to make it look really dramatic just doesn't work anymore, it's not that big of a spectacle as it once was).
Once he has demolished Axel, he grabs the mic but before any sound comes out his mouth – LESNAR's music hits, and the Champ just stares at him from the titantron, laughing, completely unfazed by this new Ruthless Aggression.
Hell In A Cell PPV – Brock Lesnar defeats John Cena inside Hell in a Cell. Vicious and brutal battle between the two, we see Cena become more and more bloodthirsty throughout the match but he hasn't tapped into it completely. And Brock punishes him for it. Although Lesnar is thoroughly tested, he wins cleanly yet again.
Now, the road goes through Hell in a Cell and to Booking Brock Lesnar – Volume IV – Survivor Series and TLC.

A senior quality control analyst at Alere filed a qui tam lawsuit alleging the company's testing and diagnostic devices for heart patients and others were unreliable.
Alere Inc. paid more than $13 million last week to settle SEC charges of accounting fraud and overseas bribery. Embedded in the details are some very meaningful lessons for compliance leaders, and even more importantly, for business leaders. Those real-world lessons are about the accounting fraud.
Alere Inc said in an SEC filing Tuesday that it received a grand jury subpoena from the DOJ for documents relating to its sales practices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Bringing the fight against single use plastics to Barts Health NHS Trust
The NHS produces up to 600,000 tonnes of waste every year at a cost of around £100 million and infectious clinical waste can cost more than £500 per tonne to dispose of. Most of this waste gets incinerated or processed and sadly, some of this will still go to landfill, with negative consequences for our environment.
At least 40% of operating theatre waste is recyclable and a large proportion of this is high-quality plastic. Jonny Groome, an anaesthetist at Barts Health NHS Trust, decided to set about finding a way to manage Barts' waste so that plastic was either reusable or recyclable.
With support from UCLPartners Aspiring Improvers programme, Jonny and his team have successfully diverted anaesthetist plastic waste from landfill and have sparked a movement that is raising awareness of NHS plastic waste across the Trust and beyond.
The first person to convince was the Environmental Manager for Barts. A big part of a successful quality improvement project is getting all the right people on side, and this was a good place to start. Jonny and his team did a lot of homework before meeting with the waste managers and picked their sites carefully to ensure that they'd be able to scale the project successfully.
When they'd gained approval, the team found a company called RecoMed, who take away non-infectious medical PVC items for free and recycle them into tree ties for the horticultural industry. Clinical waste disposal is usually very expensive, but as the RecoMed scheme is free, it not only keeps these devices out of landfill, they also save the NHS money. If one anaesthetic mask, one length of oxygen tubing and one oxygen mask was put in the RecoMed waste stream for every anaesthetic delivered in the UK it would amount to 2250 tonnes of PVC. This could save around £1million a year for the NHS.
Early resistance
The anaesthetists did experience some resistance but found that the key to assuaging doubt was to provide robust data supporting economic and environmental gains. They learned that in order to complete simple tasks – such as getting PVC items into a bin, and then getting that bin into a holding area – they needed to have meetings with different groups at every level: nurses, private contractors, doctors, sustainability teams, waste teams, housekeeping… etc. This was incredibly time consuming and is something that needs factoring into planning a quality improvement project such as this.
The team also realised that it's much easier to make headway with in-house NHS waste management teams.
Growing impact
Jonny's plastic saving work started out at Newham and Whipps Cross University Hospitals, with great success. Since starting in April 2018, they have collected in excess of 200kg of medical PVC.
Now the project has developed into a much bigger movement, and they have founded a group called GASP (greener anaesthesia sustainability project), a platform for anaesthetists who are trying to achieve similar aims. GASP members offer advice to trusts and give lectures on sustainability. More recently they've even been invited to talk at a sustainability conference in Brighton.
Before joining Barts, Jonny worked in New Zealand where there was a huge emphasis on recycling and environmentalism. When he returned to the UK, he became aware of how much of an issue waste was in hospitals.
Sharing the latest on his project, he said: "Through education and staff engagement we are continuing to recycle more and more medical plastics across Barts Health each day. Our next stop is the Royal London Hospital and then on to the Barts Hospital too!"
UCLPartners Aspiring Improvers programme aims to create a network for people starting out in improvement, providing them with the skills and support to build their confidence and capability to get involved with, and eventually lead improvement. Participants take part in workshops, masterclasses on improvement with experts, and have the opportunity to build a quality improvement project and reflect and explore their ideas and challenges with colleagues.

Poverty is easy to see, but less easy to define – or to measure across a city, a province or a country. Many measures of poverty use money. If a person lives on less than a certain threshold income they are considered to be living in poverty.
Income is used for the three national poverty lines developed in South Africa. These are the food poverty line (set at R531 per person per month in April 2017), the lower-bound poverty line (R758) and the upper-bound poverty line (R1,138).
Another picture can be painted when we look beyond income to the other ways people experience poverty. How does poverty reveal itself in people's health, their level of education, the dwelling they live in, how they cook their food, the water they drink? Poverty examined according to different types of deprivation is known as multidimensional poverty.
For its 2016 Community Survey, on which the feature Mapping poverty in South Africa was based, Statistics South Africa used the South African Multidimensional Poverty Index.
The index calculates the poverty of households according to four aspects of life: health, education, living standards and economic activity.
These four are known as the dimensions of poverty. Each dimension is assessed according to different indicators.
The health dimension has only one indicator: child mortality, or whether a child under the age of five living in the household has died in the past year.
Education has two indicators. One is years of schooling, or whether no person in the household aged 15 or older has completed five years of schooling. The other, school attendance, looks at whether any school-age child seven to 15 years old does not attend school.
Living standards has seven indicators, to do with fuel, water, sanitation, type of dwelling and ownership of assets. What fuel does the household use for lighting, heating and cooking? Is there piped water in the dwelling? Does the household have a flushing toilet? What kind of dwelling does the household live in? What does the household own?
Economic activity is measured by joblessness: whether all the adults, people aged 15 to 64, are out of work.
Each household is scored according to these indicators. If the score is 33.3% or more, the household is living in poverty – they are "multidimensionally poor".
The score also measures the intensity of poverty.
In the 2016 Community Survey, the average intensity of the poverty experienced by multidimensionally poor people in the nine provinces ranged from 40.1% in the Western Cape to 44.1% in Gauteng.
The multidimensional poverty index is not intended to replace the other important measures of poverty.
The food poverty line, for example, is the rand value below which people are unable to buy enough food to give them the minimum daily energy requirement for adequate health.
The multidimensional index, Statistics South Africa says, should rather be seen as "a complementary measure to these money-metric measures".

Q: Mixing multiple audio samples into single file with C# I'm looking for a library capable of creating an audio file (mp3 or wav).
NAudio stands out as a good candidate, but not sure if and how it can do specifically what I need.
I want to mix a number of audio samples into a single file, have them play simultaneously with control over each sample's start and end timing when "rendering" the audio file.
Is this possible with NAudio? If so, how? Can you point out a good tutorial?
Also, are there any other recommended .net audio libraries?
Thanks!

A: There are a few NAudio tutorials on Sebastian Gray's blog.  One of the example projects is very similar to what you are describing.
Last time I used NAudio it was not very good at writing WAV files - some of the generated WAVs were valid but too short, missing the last few seconds of input.  That may have been fixed by now.  I rolled my own WAV writer to work around it.

A: You should try the BASS audio library: www.un4seen.com
Very powerful, can easily do what you described above (see the BASSmix and BASSenc functions)
The API is C though, not C#. There's a BASS.NET version too. Lots of code examples, good documentation and a great community :-)
