Elderly Woman Crashes Through Fence, Lands in Swimming Pool
There's a reason why 80-90% of the fence applications seen by U.S. zoning committees are for privacy fences. Some neighborhoods are just a little too much to handle. Zany neighbors, though, can't always be stopped by fences, as one homeowner in Grand Rapids, Michigan recently discovered.
At the end of May, an elderly woman crashed her car through a fence separating a CVS Pharmacy and a home's backyard. The woman was in CVS's drive-thru when she put her car in reverse, hit the gas, and sped through the fence and into the homeowner's pool.
Fortunately, the pool had no water in it at the time, and the elderly woman did not appear to be seriously hurt. According to Grand Rapids Police Officer Scott Klawon, the woman was sent to an area hospital with "not obvious" injuries.
Police at the scene requested a crane to get the elderly woman's car out of the empty pool.
This sort of situation is not all that uncommon. At the beginning of June, a teenage, California-driver fell asleep at the wheel after studying for hours, sending his pickup truck careening through a fence, and crashing alongside a swimming pool. The teenager miraculously evaded death, as one of the fence's two-by-fours speared the windshield, continued on through the steering wheel, and somehow missed impaling the driver.
"I guess in the rolling motion when the young man rolled off the roadway, it must have tossed him to the side and that board just missed his torso," said Monica Zech of the City of El Cajon Heartland Fire and Rescue.
Although these incident were unfortunate, things could have been much worse. Jeremy McCracken, a 22-year-old, New Zealand man, died after his car crashed through a fence and down a bank, stopping just meters away from a home. Police did not suspect drugs or alcohol were a contributing factor in the crash.
"I guess anything is possible at the end of the day," said Jefrey Banks, the son of Grand Rapids-homeowner whose fence bordered the CVS. "You don't expect anything like this."

The Urban Municipalities are the retail water service provider and Sedibeng Water is the bulk water service provider. The allocation of the responsibilities of the Water Services Authority (WSA) to Urban Municipality, must be investigated and clarified. The proportion of the Equitable Share Revenue depends on this specific arrangement and definition of basic services.
The bulk water is pumped from the Vaal river and treated by Sedibeng at their treatment plant at Balkfontein. The water quality complies with the SABS standard according the Water Service Development.
Consumer with metered water connection are presently billed on a monthly basis.
Cost recovery range from 7 to 32% and is not sufficient to account for the operational costs.
The sustainability of service delivery are therefore under serious threat.
Internal funding for new development and capital projects are virtually non-existent and the Council exclusively depends on external funding.
The principles adopted by the White Paper on Water Supply and Sanitation Policy assume a context of universal human right and the equality of all persons regardless of race, gender, creed and culture. The policy of the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry in full support of the objectives and target of the Government's Reconstruction and Development Programme, is to ensure that all inhabitants of the area have access to basic water supply within seven years or less.
Given that they are chosen to be the minimum needed to ensure heath, the levels of service presented below should be seen as minimum standards to be applied in publicly funded schemes unless a relaxation has been specifically approved. This does not mean that higher standards cannot be applied. However, there is a direct correlation between the standard of service and the cost, both in terms of initial capital and operation and maintenance. Where higher standards of services are to be provided, the cost will not normally be supported by programmes of the Department.
The maximum distance which a person should have to cart water to their dwelling is 200 m. In steep terrain this distance may have to be reduced to the account of the extra effort required to cart water up steep slopes.
The supply should provide water security for the community. Two factors are important here. Firstly, the scheme for domestic water supply should ensure the availability of "raw" water for 98% of the time. Secondly, the operation and maintenance of the system must be effective. The aim should be to have no more than one week's interruption in supply per year.

This was about 500$ for a really simple, optimized smart contract. If I didn't do the optimizations I would have paid double that.
Comparing this to Ethereum, it's a lot what developers have to pay and this might hold new developers back from developing on EOS.
For indie developers making small fun projects to get started, it's just too much.
In old (pre-blockchain) world one might just say: "maybe it's simpler and cheaper to just have a trusted third party ..."
I have the same observation as you do. People don't care as much about trustlessness as they should.
Most are even fine trusting casinos that provide no way to prove their fairness which is just beyond me.

The Implied Player
So while complaining about "Post Script" and the like, it struck me that these mods heavily rely on a certain notion of an "implied player" -- the ideal player, the one who won't mind walking across long stretches of terrain and who will listen to every voice over and read every note and ponder the deep meaning of everything. (I wish I could do this, but usually when I play I'm trying to pick everything apart.)
The closest comparison that I can think of is how literary criticism has held the notion of an "implied author" and "implied reader" for some time now...
When Jane Austen begins Pride and Prejudice with, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" -- Austen (whether as the "real" author or the "implied" author) clearly doesn't believe that statement because the whole novel is about how this first sentence overgeneralizes so much. And then there's the "implied reader," perhaps someone who was raised on Elizabethan conduct manuals for young girls and can appreciate how P&P riffs on those.
I was going to write a long post about how to apply this narrative theory to games and why such theory would be useful, but fortunately Gregory Weir has already done it for me -- and probably much more eloquently than I would've. So go read that.
One thing that strikes me immediately, mostly because Weir already mentions it, is that literary criticism usually focuses on the implied author / narrator relationship... while with games we're definitely more interested in the gulf between the player character, implied player, actual player.
Video games are definitely designed with an "implied player" in mind -- the one who will play the game optimally, utilizing each mechanic to achieve deep and meaningful strategies -- the type of player who will use an "ice" spell to freeze an enemy then an "earth" spell to shatter the frozen enemy, the player who won't stare at the wall while Alyx says something important, or the player who attaches sticky bombs to a corpse to fling at a Big Daddy.
Is it bad practice to assume the actual player will play so much like the implied player?
Say... Alyx was saying something important, but instead you were looking away, playing with some crates -- well, she would get pretty upset that you're not listening to her. Maybe she'll hold a grudge for the rest of the game. Assuming you agree with the "manifesto" declaring player choice as king and you had the art resources to do it, shouldn't you account for this and support the choice to listen / not listen during these cutscenes?
Or maybe it'd a waste of time -- because it's a game, and who cares if the player can see the rails? Maybe we shouldn't even worry about it, because if we treat games like texts (as many commentators are suggesting) then it's not really a problem. After all, Half-Life 2 is still enjoyable even if you don't care for the scripted drama, and Pride and Prejudice is still a good read even if you don't know much about Elizabethan social norms.

Many of you probably know already that I recently graduated with a degree in nutrition science. When I was asked to review The Doctor On Demand Diet book, the first thing I did was read about the author. When I saw all her credentials and years of experience, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. While I received this book for review, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
One of my biggest peeves since getting a formal education in nutrition is seeing all the 'experts' out there that flood the internet and shelves with inaccurate or unproven information. It's beyond upsetting because there are so many of us desperate to understand the complicated world of food and health. Most medical doctors only take one class in nutrition during their years of education. It is for this reason, nutrition advice should be given only by those that understand food as a science and know to back their information with proven studies and peer reviewed articles.
Dr. Melina Jampolis is an internist and board-certified Physician Nutrition Specialist–one of only several hundred practicing in the U.S. She's basically a food doctor. In most hospitals you'd need a medical doctor and/or specialist PLUS a Registered Dietitian (RD) to work together to help with your diet and illness treatment. But with Dr. Melina, you're basically getting two in one!
She specializes in nutrition for weight loss, disease prevention, and treatment. In reading her book, you realize she's very personable and not just trying to cram a bunch of science down your throat or make false promises.
…I'll help you figure out how to find a balance that allows you to lose weight without losing your mind.
She talks to you about the facts, explains them logically, and encourages you to make small changes that won't make you lose your mind and inevitably rebound. Because let's face it–losing weight and getting healthy is actually really, really simple. It's just freaking hard to make changes and navigate the complex world of macro- and micro- nutrients. So she put together a plan that can be tweaked to anyone's needs–even if you've got allergies or diseases.
Knowing what to eat is tough. Everyone is telling you something different and recommending opposite methods for your goals. Then you've got billboards, commercials, social media, etc. pouring images of delightful indulgent foods in your face all day. Then you've got all these big words and calculations to figure out. If you're trying to manage a disease state like diabetes or heart disease, then there's all that added stress. Plus, food is yummy. For most people it's a social event in itself. This is why everyone should read The Doctor On Demand Diet book. It clearly explains how you can deal with all this chaos with ease and simply live your life while getting and being healthy.
She doesn't tell you never to eat pizza or cookies again. In fact, she doesn't recommend strict restrictions at all. Just find what works for you and do it. Because it works.
The Doctor On Demand Diet Book is available for purchase starting November 10, 2015. But you can pre-order now and enter to win one below.
Don't Miss the Twitter Chat!
This is an incredible opportunity to ask Dr. Melina any questions you may have about your own personal health journey! I know I have a whole list for her! Simply tweet her @drondemand using #AskDrMelina on Thursday, November 12, 2015 from 11am – noon PST.
What about The Doctor on Demand Diet is most exciting to you?
Doctor on Demand sounds like an exciting new realm into medical practice. The cost is reasonable and you always have a doctor available when your local offices might be closed. I would enjoy reading the Doctor on Demand Diet book as I have a hard time getting motivated to lose weight.


Nigeria will move ahead with plans to borrow $5.5 billion from foreign investors after the Senate on Tuesday approved President Muhammadu Buhari request for the move.
The money is designed to plug a large gap in Nigeria's finances that stems in part from the global fall in oil prices.
Nigeria's economy grew in the second quarter, climbing out of its first recession in 25 years, but the pace of growth was slow suggesting that the recovery remains fragile.
The 7.44 trillion naira ($24.33 billion) 2017 budget projects a shortfall of $7.5 billion, prompting Buhari's call for foreign loans.
The borrowing would include $2.5 billion in Eurobonds to plug part of the 2017 budget deficit and $3 billion to refinance maturing domestic debt to lower the country's funding costs.
The government intends to spend money on infrastructure projects to diversify the OPEC member's oil-dependent economy. Crude oil sales make up about two-thirds of government revenue.
"We're working to ensure Nigerians get dividends of democracy and return Nigeria to a construction giant," said Gbenga Ashafa, a senator representing a constituency in commercial capital Lagos, according to the Senate's official Twitter feed.

Justice Week 2020 ran from Monday 24 to Friday 28 February. We covered different themes each day with a range of events and activities.

Justice Week was first held in 2018, and is championed by the Law Society, the Bar Council and the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx).
Justice Week 2020
Justice Week 2020 ran from Monday 24 to Friday 28 February. The aim of Justice Week 2020 was to improve access to justice by boosting the profile of justice and the rule of law, placing them at the centre stage of public and political debate.
Justice and the rule of law are facing major threats, from cuts to spending to attacks on the judiciary. This undermines our democracy.
It's essential for young people to:
understand the importance of the justice system
value the rule of law
see justice and the rule of law as fundamental to our lives and freedoms
From schools to the media, our institutions still have work to do when it comes to scrutinising and promoting the world of law and making it easier to understand.
Justice Week is a unique opportunity for organisations to highlight their work to promote the importance of the rule of law to young people.
At a time of widespread discussion about citizens' rights and obligations, the role of Parliament and the rule of law, Justice Week activities will boost young people's support and understanding of the justice system in England and Wales.
Justice Week at the Law Society
We covered different themes every day during Justice Week 2020. You can see the list of events that took place below.
You can also still access some of our Justice Week 2020 resources.
Monday 24 February – Protecting freedom
Can public legal education (PLE) really increase access to justice?
The Legal Services Board (LSB) presented new insights from the PLE element of its Individual Legal Needs Survey. This seminar provided insights into the barriers that people with lower legal capability face when accessing our justice system and what practical steps can be undertaken to lower them.
Photography Exhibition: Youth Justice in Focus
Exhibition by photographer Alice Mutasa featuring photographic portraits of children and young people who have been through the legal system in different categories of law, accompanied by text cards telling each person's story.
Roundtable: Desert greening for Welsh lawyers
The Equality and Human Rights Commission ran a roundtable on promoting freedoms day in Justice Week for Welsh lawyers to start talking about how we can end the discrimination law advice desert in Wales.
The keynote speaker was His Honour Judge Milwyn Jarman QC, Diversity and Community Relations Judge. Barristers and solicitors from Wales talked about discrimination cases they have been involved in, and Angharad Price discussed work that the Commission is doing to fund cases, using its unique enforcement powers to support discrimination legal work in Wales.
Tuesday 25 February – Fighting for rights
Fighting for Your Rights Hackathon
The Law Society assembled a Hacking Justice team - including solicitors, programmers, students, professors and others passionate about increasing access to justice - to help fix our crippled justice system.
Streetlaw in the Manchester Employment Tribunal to litigants in person
A one-hour presentation by BPP Law School in co-operation with the University of Salford on what happens at a final hearing in an employment tribunal case.
The session aimed to provide litigants in person with an understanding of the process and give them an opportunity to ask questions about the procedure.
How should modern lawyers advance rights and protect access to justice?
A QS where a range of practitioners discussed inertia and alienation in the legal system, and their daily practice fighting for rights.
Wednesday 26 February – Defending democracy
Photo call for MPs
This was an opportunity for MPs to cite examples of where they have "…used the law to..." protect or fight for rights and freedoms (part of the wider Justice Week campaign profiling the power of law).
Streetlaw workshop on the law after a relationship breakdown
A two-part session held by BPP Law School and Collaborative Women, advising women escaping backgrounds of domestic abuse and other social challenges about steps to think about after separating from a partner.
The women took part in a Q&A with a barrister and BPTC tutor, Michelle Mayoh, and trainee solicitor, Zainab Gulamhussein. The panel event focused on overcoming challenges as a woman in the law.
Streetlaw training for BPP student volunteers
BPP Law School students learned about the importance of PLE/Streetlaw to different community groups and had a chance to practice and develop communication and presenting skills.
BEE Scheme: Branding and advertising products
BPP Law students and Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership held a short interactive workshop to assist those in the local community looking to start their own business.

Wiretap: Another horrific botched execution
The state of Oklahoma had finally gotten its way and was about to complete the first of two executions when everything went wrong. The prisoner, Clayton Lockett, was supposed to be unconscious when suddenly he began to move and to call out. His body twitched and his foot moved. The doctor said the "line had blown." Witnesses said the newly introduced death-row drug combo — the source of which the state had refused to reveal — must have failed. One of Lockett's lawyers, who witnessed the execution, said, "It looked like torture." Lockett would eventually die, but of a heart attack. And so the arguments on the death penalty begin anew. The second execution was stayed for two weeks.
James Downie writes that the botched execution shows why the death penalty must end. Via the Washington Post.
This was hardly the first botched execution. There have been botched executions as long as there have been executions. Via Vox.
People may have signed up for Obamacare, but the polls show the people still aren't convinced. Via the National Journal.
"Only about 6 percent of Americans hunt even once in a year. That's just slightly more than the number who attend a ballet performance: 3.9 percent." Why do gun rights succeed where other conservative causes fail? Via the Atlantic.
At its convention, the NRA says it "can save America." Yep, that's what they said.

The National Park Service is extending the deadline for public comment on four preliminary alternatives that detail a future vision for the park. As part of an on-going effort to develop a General Management Plan and a Wilderness Study and Environmental Impact Statement (GMP/Wilderness Study/EIS), written and on-line comments will continue to be received through the fall. Federal law requires formal publication of a notice in the Federal Register detailing the park's intent to expand the scope of the project to include the Wilderness Study. Once this notice is published, the public will be notified on park and project websites of the exact deadline for the end of the comment period.
The GMP/Wilderness Study will document a management vision for the entire park, including Kahuku, and serve as a guidebook for the future. The NPS has included a wilderness study to analyze whether NPS-managed lands within the park should be recommended for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System. As part of this added scope of the project, additional public input related to wilderness is being requested during review of the preliminary alternatives.
The preliminary alternatives developed by the park planning team are based on previous public comments, federal law and NPS policy, as well as the professional knowledge of park staff. The alternatives detail a menu of topics including conservation of the park's natural resources and cultural significance, location of visitor and operations facilities, new or connecting trails, sustainable and climate-friendly operations, education, research, and visitor access and services at the Kahuku Unit. Wilderness eligible lands in Kahuku are also discussed.

If anyone deserves a helping hand with purchasing a new home, it's someone who spent seven years in a refugee camp.
Ephraim Cheru and his wife, Selam Debesay, fled their home in the east African nation of Eritrea 12 years ago and became trapped in a Sudanese camp, where fellow refugees were often kidnapped for ransom or murdered by organ traffickers.
The nightmare ended in 2013 when a friend in Winnipeg sponsored their rescue to Canada.
The last five years since arriving in Calgary have been eventful, with opportunities to attend school, to find employment and an apartment through Calgary Housing, and the birth of a daughter and a son.
Earlier this year, Cheru and Debesay were doing well enough that their income exceeded the threshold for public housing, and they were forced to look elsewhere. That's when an online search led them to the Liberty Home Ownership Program, which allowed them to purchase a brand-new townhome in the northeast community of Cornerstone with a very modest down payment.
"It was very hard to save a lot of money for a down payment, but I found the website for this program, which said you could own your own house for just $1,500 down. I said to myself, we can afford that," says the soft-spoken Cheru.
Noting that Truman Homes was a participating builder in the program, the couple went to Truman's Yorke Townhomes sales centre in Cornerstone, a new community by Anthem United in the city's northeast, where the application process was initiated.
Liberty (libertyhomeownership.org) is similar to the City of Calgary's Attainable Homes program (attainyourhome.com). Founder and current board director, Oliver Trutina, says Liberty is a more efficient model with a less bureaucratic process.
"We can move quicker and provide more options to the end user without a large administrative process. We offer a better shared equity model than any other program and require a lower down payment. It's going well — the response is awesome," he says.
Homebuyers typically don't have the luxury of the "Bank of Mom and Dad" and in more than half the cases, are recent immigrants like Cheru and Debesay, who work hard and understand the value of home ownership.
Applicants with dependents must have income of less than $90,000 a year or less than $80,000 if they don't. Their credit must be in good standing.
Of the $1,500 that applicants must have in hand, $150 goes towards a mandatory education program, which they must graduate from, that drums in the concept of home ownership and the financial responsibilities that go with it.
"We get people who apply and don't qualify. We don't just say, too bad, see you later. We work with them. We've got one applicant who applie and took two years to get approved. We worked with financial planners to identify the red flags and they followed our advice," Trutina says.
Often the red flags involve car loans which are relatively easy to get. The monthly payments cripple the ability to be approved for a mortgage.
Trutina says all Calgary home builders are welcome to participate in the program, but they partner primarily with Truman Homes because of his relationship with the company.
"George, my dad, who founded Truman, believes in giving back. He came to Canada with nothing, so he wants to do what he can to give back. It's pretty cool," he says.
The builder donates 10 to 12 per cent of the fair market value of the home, which is assessed by third-party appraiser. If the home is on the market for $330,000, it's sold to Liberty for $300,000 and the difference goes to the purchasers as a gifted down payment. As a pay-it-forward program, the buyer also benefits from a forgivable loan structure.
When Liberty was founded in 2015, the goal was to put 1,000 people into new homes over a 10-year period. Trutina says that with 300 people now in their own homes, Liberty is on track.
A month after they applied, Cheru and Debesay moved into their 1,575-square-foot, four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhome with a double-attached garage and bright, open concept living space.


Artwork Guidelines | MasterImage, Inc.
MasterImage is well equipped to receive your artwork digitally and prepare your file for sublimation printing.
Send us your files using email (10-MB limit), FTP (call us for information), CD or DVD. To save disk space, use JPGs, PDFs or PNGs. In some cases, compressing files (to ZIPs, SITs, or self-extracting archives) may save some space.
The problem of color accuracy is well known. For color accuracy, send an Iris, matchprint or other high-quality proof. Note: a typical inexpensive desktop color printout may not provide adequate reference, as colors will differ substantially depending on a number of factors. Alternatively, if you have spot-color art, you can provide us with a black and white copy containing Pantone color identification. If you have any questions, please call us. Keep in mind that non-CMYK (non-process) colors will not render accurately, so expect some color shift, especially with particularly vibrant colors. The good news is that photographs are less likely to experience much color shifting than vector art (or line art).
As with traditional artwork, if your design is to bleed off the edges, appropriate bleed area must be provided.
Photoshop files should be sent to us at 100% size in CMYK mode and at a resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch) or higher. When saving your art, we suggest you save as a Photoshop document in layers whenever possible. All flattened artwork should be sent with a separate layered Photoshop file. If you are working in RGB mode it is critical that you convert your image to CMYK before sending it to us. This conversion can cause up to a 30% shift in color.
When working in Illustrator, please make color selections using the Pantone colors in the Pantone selection mode. Do Not Use CMYK Values. Convert fonts to outlines and provide all linked and embedded artwork. Alternatively, you may save the artwork to a high-resolution PDF, in which case fonts are normally embedded.
When sending Quark files, be sure to include all artwork and fonts used in the document. Or save as a high-resolution PDF.
We can accept artwork prepared in Corel from the PC when it is converted to Illustrator format. Corel provides this option as either a "Save as" or "Export" option. It has been brought to our attention that when converting a CorelDraw file with a fill pattern it will not translate to Illustrator. These patterns will have to be created manually. Any artwork coming from CorelDraw that requires a bleed must have the Power Clip turned off. If not, only what is inside of your clipping box will translate to Illustrator; all clipped information will be lost. To avoid font problems, we suggest that you convert your text to curves. When you provide artwork on disk, please provide both the CorelDraw file and the new Illustrator version along with a hard-copy proof.
When working in FreeHand, please make color selections using the Pantone colors (Do Not Use CMYK Values, as this will create problems when trying to match colors). To avoid font problems we suggest that you create outlines for your text. Please provide all linked or embedded artwork.

Edward Sharp, the former chief executive of Radius Plc, has failed in his last ditch efforts to regain control of the struggling Hull-based systems integration company which he co-founded in 1976. Having forced a vote on the companyÆs future, RadiusÆ institutional share holders rejected Mr SharpÆs proposals to give him back control, and Sharp has sacrificed his own job in the process. Mr Sharp had been forced to resign from his position as chairman and chief executive in March 1991 at the request of the then board of directors, but he still retained his shareholding in the company. Having purchased over a million shares in Radius in November 1997, Sharp then invoked his rights as a 10% minority shareholder to call an extraordinary general meeting, at which he hoped to oust the two senior members of the current board, and to re-instate himself and two former directors with whom he has close links. By calling the meeting, Sharp was effectively forcing a vote of confidence in the current board and in a letter to shareholders explaining his actions, he appealed for support and condemned the companyÆs lack of profitability, laying the blame on current chief executive Edward Kelly and executive chairman Michael Roberts with whom he founded Radius. Sharp claims to have been goaded into action by other disgruntled share holders who have been forced to watch the companyÆs earnings stagnate in a market growing by 20% per annum. Radius has indeed performed poorly in the last five years, and following a further profits warning in November last year, Sharp said he was approached by other share holders to take action. In its letter of defense, the Radius board claimed that Sharp, who now owns nearly 14% of the company, was attempting to gain control without making a fair offer for the majority of the shares. As a non-executive director, Sharp has been party to the boardÆs discussions on how Radius plans to improve shareholder value, and he clearly felt the boardÆs ôsignificant initiativesö were inadequate. Following his defeat at the EGM, Mr Sharp has resigned his directorship, knowing that his position had become untenable. This will be an enormous relief to the current board who view the timing and content of this action as extremely disruptive. But although the block votes of the institutional investors went against him, Sharp predicts that there will be changes made at a board, and sooner rather than later. Financial results for the year to December are due next week.

1,000 graduates: Celebrating MSU's Master of Science in Management, Strategy and Leadership alumni
Michigan State University's Master of Science in Management, Strategy and Leadership is officially celebrating the graduation of more than 1,000 students from the program. The MSL program has seen a wide variety of students from experienced professional backgrounds go on to advance in various career fields.
MSL program director Glenn Hodges shared what this milestone means to — and for — the MSL program:
"I am so incredibly thrilled that we have [more than] 1,000 graduates from the MS-MSL program. This program has existed for only eight years," he said. "We wanted to create a tremendous amount of value for our students, and I'm totally convinced that we have done that.
"It's really been a huge thrill. What [this milestone] means to me is that there are now over a thousand Spartans who have come through this program, who have had the opportunity to learn a lot that's going to really help them to be successful in their career and their lives.
"I can also say that is a huge thing for all of us here at the Eli Broad College of Business and in the Department of Management. All of the professors who are engaged in this program are extremely excited and happy about it, as well as all the administrators."
While each student has brought their own unique perspective into the program, they have graduated with a deeper understanding of the necessary skills and knowledge needed to succeed in the fast-paced, demanding world of management. Moreover, the online program's flexibility helped many of them balance their family life and studies, making it an adaptable companion to their career goals.
Below are some notable highlights of the program as shared by students themselves, along with reasons to consider Michigan State University for your own leadership and management journey.
The impact of an M.S. in MSL on graduates' careers
For many graduates of the MSL program, an immediate impact was the application of relevant knowledge to their current careers. Each course of the program provides its own set of strategic and leadership skills to learn, such as negotiation and interpersonal skills. On top of that, graduates are more competitive in the workplace, as they ultimately hold a degree "from a prestigious institution like Michigan State and the Eli Broad College, [which gives them] the ability to have an entry into opportunities [they] wouldn't otherwise have," Hodges said.
This was true for Heather Serrano, an executive at a financial firm. "I applied something from each course to my job," Serrano said. "Learning about role negotiation helped me create a specialized consulting position within the bank, which is now a formal offering."
As for interpersonal leadership development, Mark Thompson gained a deeper appreciation for the faces within an organization. A strategic management change in his company allowed him to take on a leadership role from a more humanistic perspective. He concluded that "all of [the program's] courses reaffirm that people make organizations run," and a business that understands the motivations of employees is one whose "sky is the limit."
The MSL program also changed the perspective of — and approach to — entire departments for some students. For instance, Lateefah Walker and Andrew Adeniyi mentioned how the program influenced their work in human resources. Walker, who oversees the human resources department at her company, believes her MSL studies strengthened her role and helped her run the department more "efficiently and effectively."
Adeniyi, on the other hand, learned just how important HR strategies are to his company as a whole: "There was a lot of content that I was finding or circling back to on HR philosophy. As I climb up the ladder at various organizations, I anticipate making that a key part of my strategy."
Why students chose to go back to school through MSU
Beyond advancing your career opportunities, there are plenty of reasons to go back to school — including family-oriented ones. This was the case for several MSL graduates, including Walker and Ellen Bower, who each had their sons in mind when considering applying.
Bower described how her goal was to become her son's role model: "I want to be a role model to him … [show him] that you can do anything you put your mind to. The world is his for the taking if he is willing to work hard and put his mind to it."
Walker shared similar thoughts, explaining how she hoped the hard work she put into the program would teach her sons that "with hard work, passion, motivation and God, they can accomplish anything they put their minds to."
For others, an advanced degree was a pathway to adding a formal education to real-life experience. Jeff Day had already served in numerous roles across several tech companies before being accepted into the MSL program. He decided to pursue a master's degree because he desired "the street cred of an advanced degree." Thanks to the education gained in the program, he is now the owner of his own company.
The MSL online classroom difference
The student experience is a huge part of any educational program. Although the MSL program is 100% online, many students found that the interaction between classmates and instructors was just as prominent as in a brick-and-mortar program. As Kristopher Brown emphasized, "MSU professors do a good job of structuring the courses to ensure student interaction."
Hodges made sure that this interaction was included in the program design from the start, emphasizing that "on an ongoing regular basis, you're interacting with people and you're learning, not just from the professors — you're also learning from the students in the program."
This interaction comes primarily in the form of message boards, chat rooms and group projects. One outstanding instance of student interaction can be found in the story of Pam Hove and Kevin Gonzales. The two classmates were assigned to be part of a team for one class, and their collaboration grew into a lasting friendship that taught them just as much about life as it did their studies. Hove described it this way: "Because Kevin is much younger than I am, I gained a better perspective of people in his age group. We grew up in different times, and our experiences have been very different, so I think we each learned a lot from each other."
It also helps that MSL students have a diverse range of backgrounds, from military to health care, government, retail and more. This diversity adds an extra element to the program because students can hear the perspectives of professionals in a variety of career fields. Brown stressed that other students "challenged my ideas and widened the scope of my business worldview."
Being exposed to the mindset and perspectives of those in other fields could help you shine a new light on how you conduct your own business. As Bower said, "The approach to any business topic is in the eye of the beholder."
Popular MSL program takeaways
As for the most valuable takeaway from the program, graduates had a diverse range of answers. For Steve Deighton, it was what he learned about culture: "My most valuable takeaway from the program is the knowledge gained in understanding how intertwined strategy and culture are in every organization. Culture is vital in driving the buy-in from employees to achieve the strategy."
Alternatively, for Matt McKenna, "the ability to think about and understand an organization on both a macro and micro level" was the most valuable conclusion he made. He likened this belief to an analogy of a fish and its scales: "This program teaches you to see the connection between the individual scales, determine if a scale is pointing the wrong direction and determine how to re-orientate those scales."
And yet, for some others, the program taught them that learning is always valuable no matter their age. Ramar Scales — in business for over 20 years before deciding to go back to school — emphasized that the program instilled in him that "It's never too late to learn."
Elizabeth Blass echoed this same sentiment, expressing she now knows that "it is important to be a lifelong learner. I will always make time for things that matter and the things that will help me to grow."
Why choose MSU?
Choosing the right graduate program is a big decision. Whether it's conducting research on university prestige, program applicability or faculty expertise, prospective students must consider several factors before deciding on how to advance their education. Many students echoed the statement from Hodges that the MSL program is a winning mix of "cutting-edge research along with professors who really understand how to practice and how to apply that knowledge."
According to Angela Pulcini: "I really appreciated the quality of the program and the quality of the professors … and with their background, they're renowned in their field. You get that level of expertise from the professors."
Not only did students respect the expertise of professors, they appreciated the willingness of professors to work with them. McKenna said, "I think the most challenging part of my MSU journey was finding a way to balance my assignment schedule with military training in the field. On a rare occasion, there was a hard conflict, [and] the professors were always willing to work with me."
Another significant benefit is the program's online format, which promotes flexibility for all students. Albertus Kariko shared that, thanks to this flexibility, he could "manage a full-time job, raise a 3-year-old boy and still make time for leisure." In fact, as Jennifer Wolf stated, "If you're disciplined enough and you can manage your time enough, anybody can do this program."
Hodges said with a smile, "It's just been a fantastic thing, and we're looking forward to the next thousand."

Kingston woman accused of improperly receiving $11,500 worth of food stamps
PUBLISHED: February 26, 2014 at 10:54 a.m. | UPDATED: July 21, 2021 at 11:21 a.m.
KINGSTON >> The Ulster County Zero Tolerance Anti-Fraud, Waste and Abuse Program was instrumental in the arrest of a Kingston woman for welfare fraud, County Executive Mike Hein said Wednesday.
Lazala C. Mackey, 28, of Kingston, was arrested at 10:19 a.m. by state police at Ulster and charged with one felony count of welfare fraud and 10 felony counts of offering to file a false instrument, Hein's office said in a news release.
The arrest followed an investigation by the county Department of Social Services' Special Investigations Unit in conjunction with the county District Attorney's Office, which concluded that Mackey failed to disclose her employment over a two-year period, making her ineligible for the $11,500 in food stamps and Medicaid benefits she received, according to the release.
The release did not state the dates of the alleged fraud.
Mackey was released with tickets to appear in Ulster Town Court.
The county investigates all reports of suspected welfare fraud and encourages anyone with information regarding alleged fraud to call (855) 748-8477.

and coming at this body in this pattern, to a pattern that can only be described as fluid-like (water-like) and a pattern like fish scales that moved horizontally, diagonally, and vertically. The entire effect on the mind was like a fantasy state where one felt as if a waterfall was being skated upon. An instant sense of calmness, mindfulness, and non-thinking were prevalent upon the mind. There was no time, no skates, no "me", no "Fern". So entrancing was this state that the eyes didn't notice cars or bikers coming towards it!
The other experience was that when one looked at the pavement far in front (say 6+ feet) it appeared as the mind has known concrete all along–as solid, unchanging, immovable, inflexible, etc. But, when the eyes focused on that point in space where the solid line started to blur because of the speed the body moved over it a remarkable thing was observed. Reality turned to fantasy at about the 5 foot away mark. The solid turned to liquid and impermanent, changing, flexible, moving, etc. The mind registered this and then when the eyes looked away at the trees and surroundings a certain impermanence and transitoriness was observed in all that the eyes examined. Nothing seemed as one has known (experienced) it to be all along.
While meditating tonight a curious thing was experienced. I saw the shadows or shapes of two heads, the one on the right was turned towards the one on the left who was facing me (as if I were observing it). The shape on the right said, why don't you tell him that I'm inside you, to the other head shape. The one on the left said nothing, but was trying to figure out what the R. Head meant. Then "I" realized that the L head shape was myself as I meditated trying to figure out what the R head meant. Then I realized that the R head was me also! But, it was the essence of me (soul?) that was telling the "outward me" (the body the essence is using) that it needed to tell the entire organism that the essence exists inside of this body (host).
I was quiet for much of the meditation tonight. Some thoughts came and went. Some were lingered upon. Sometimes all was quiet and no thought (or awareness of breathing) was known. Other times the mind showed visual scattergories of subjects. One that sticks in mind was a key that was stuck inside something that had a (carved?) out section to fit the key exactly (like an inlaid pearl), but not that the key would fit exactly (like a lock). It was as if two wooden blocks or coconut halves were separated and the key lay inside one of the halves and fit just perfectly as if it was there, hidden, waiting to be used. I remember thinking that this is a key for some aspect of mindfulness/meditation.


Los Angeles Superior Court's closure of 21 of its 26 courtrooms for eviction hearings illegally "shuts the courthouse doors on many of the county's most vulnerable residents" community organizers claim in a federal lawsuit, which CES is a plaintiff in.
The lawsuit claims the state's response to its judicial funding crisis violated the Fair Housing Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the First and 14th Amendments.
Joined by other organization plaintiffs and legal service organization attorneys, Gross further said that landlord will have greater incentives to now evict tenants even if there is no basis or legal justification, because chances become high that many of these tenants won't respond to the eviction notice or will not show up for the hearing, because they have no way to get to court, thus will default and lose there eviction case.


How Poor Posture Makes You ConstipatedOrem Chiropractor - R. Ned McArthur, D.C.
This is number 3 in a series of posts inspired by a 2012 Prevention Magazine article entitled seven weird ways your posture affects your health and happiness.
In days past poor posture was a sign that you lacked manners, education, and respectability.
Today, poor posture is a sign that you have a smartphone, a computer, and constipation. Many people sit all day long and for large portions of the day are looking at some kind of screen.
If this sounds like you, you know that living and working like this leads to many kinds of pain and soreness. It also leads to being overly stimulated and overly stressed.
Then add the physical pressure put on your intestines from sitting slumped over and the next time you feel like you gotta go you discover that you can't go.
The good news is you can do something about it. Turn off the phone, move around and correct your posture.
Correcting your posture will help you look better, feel better and poop better.

What is the Intuitive Movement Chart, and why do you want it?
Created after years of yoga practice, as well as dance, Franklin Method and other movement training and studies, this chart will help you think about how to adapt and change movement in a creative way. It is conceptual, giving you ideas for different avenues of play and creativity.
You'll get new ideas for adapting movement so your self-practices and classes have more depth, texture and creativity than "regular" yoga classes.
You'll start to think differently about poses, sequences, transitions and how you can make them more effective for the body and the mind.
And it can inject a refreshing bit of inspiration into your current teaching practice.
And with that, it is a blueprint for my current teaching programmes. I refer to it, dive into different aspects of it, explore the different concepts in more specific ways, showing you how I use these ideas creatively, but more importantly, how you can.

A governing body called the LEDVN (Ligue Européenne de Defense des Victimes de Notaires) was established in April of this year to aid those who feel that they have not been fairly treated or have received a severely substandard service from their notaire. It is also possible to go onto their website: www.asso-victimesdesnotaires.net and click on the relevant French department to view a list of notaires who have had complaints filed against them.
Hope this may be of use to others who have encountered similar problems!
Didn't have any real problems with my notaire. But the site is interesting. Notaires imprisoned for drug trafficking, playing in casinos with client money... does anyone know the position if a notaire loses client money? Does the state underwrite it? I guess in theory their (notaire's) insurance should, but insurance is so often invalidated by policyholder crime.


1. What event did you go to see and why?
I went to see Il Divo and Katherine Jenkins. I went as they were favourites of my Dad's who passed away 2 years ago. He always had the CD'S on. He wasn't well enough to go to see them so I went and knew he would be there with me.
2. What did you think of the performance? Did it live up to expectations?
It was AMAZING! I knew it would have been a good show, but it exceeded my expectations. I will definitely go and see them again.
3. Was this your first visit to The O2? What did you make of the facilities?
No , I have been before. The bar is a nice way to start the evening and seeing faces of our guests who didn't expect to be in there is lovely.
4. Did you enjoy a meal or drinks out before the event? If so would you recommend the places?
We went to Wagamamas for a meal before the show, and it's a great place to eat – good atmosphere and good food. We spent about £12 each for a main and a coke.
5. How did you get to The O2 ? How did you find travelling around London?
I met my friend from work and went on the underground to The O2 . Having lived in London for 22 years, I know my way around, but I do think travelling in London is easy. We went on Circle line from South Kensington to Westminster and changed onto the Jubilee line directly to North Greenwich.
6. How does The O2 compare to other venues?
It's a great venue! It depends on what you are going to see , but for big events its perfect.
7. Have any other events caught your eye this year?
If you've been to see an event at The O2, let us know in the comments below!


The primary responsibility of this position is to design and develop electronic Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) for an innovative, high-technology engineering firm. The work involves generating design files and documents using Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools for schematic, assembly, and fabrication drawings. PCB layouts are created for standard and dense, high-speed, multi-layer, analog and power electronics boards and assistance is provided to electrical and mechanical engineers to identify and resolve design and packaging issues. The successful candidate will contribute to moderately complex aspects of a project and the work is generally both independent and collaborative in nature.
Very good organizational skills, strong attention to detail, and fast learning are a must to successfully complete projects that each offer unique challenges. A bachelor's degree in a technical discipline and strong desire to do PCB design work is preferred, otherwise an associate's degree and/or experience in electronics is required. Experience with schematic capture and PCB layout in OrCAD, Mentor Graphics, or Altium is a plus but not required.

The LFS financing offer is not confined to the vendor's equipment and services but extends to the customer's entire technology solution, including products from other hardware and software makers.
"The Lenovo Financial Services program provides us the opportunity to offer a wide array of financial services alternatives to our customers," said Diane Croessmann, LFS executive director.

Q: Two level menu, setting text-decoration property Ok, this sounds kind of silly and I don't know if this is some kind of bug in css or what, but when I try to create two level menu where items on the first level have text-decoration property set to underline, I couldn't find a way to set text-decoration to none on the items on the second level.

item1

subitem1

subitem2

Does anyone knows why is this and how can I fix it?

A: You could change your subitem to

subitem1

that should fix it for you.
However abuse of the !important rule is probably not the greatest way forward. A better strategy in the longer term would be to use a CSS file and add class attributes to your li elements.
Something like:
HTML

item1

subitem1

subitem2

CSS
.main-item {
    text-decoration:underline;
}

.sub-item {
    text-decoration:none;
}

A: This is simple, first understand that if you are giving text-decoration:underline; to the first level list item then the same css property is gonna apply for for the child so what u can do is
.main-nav > li {text-decoration:underline;} -- with this the css is gonna apply for only the first level of list or the parent items. Note this will not apply for other child list.
With this u dont need to add css for child list

Travel Umbria: Saint Francis's Life: Was All That Suffering Necessary?
Saint Francis's Life: Was All That Suffering Necessary?
Way too long time has passed since the last post...almost a month! I cannot believe the things that happened during this time, and my trip to Umbria lengthened the space between posts even more. I am happy though as I will be able to talk about plenty of things in first person, my experiences with the people and the fantastic places of this small region in the heart of Italy.
Umbria is living its month dedicated to Saint Francis from Assis. Do you know who he is? I am pretty sure you do, but just in case you do not, here is a small overview of this saint's life and contribution to the world, and not only to the Christian Catholic religion.
Saint Francis was born in a wealthy family of silk merchants in Assis. The father was often away for work, especially in France, and at his return from a business trip he found that his wife had given birth to the son they were awaiting, and changed his name to Franciscus in honor of France.
Franciscus grew up to be a well to do kid, spending his father's wealth as much as he could, until the moment he departed for the third crusade to the "Holy Land". At his return from Jerusalem he felt the urge to change life. He no longer found any pleasure in banqueting and drinking with his friends. After abandoning his "dolce vita" companions, he centered his eyes on the beauties of the nature around Assisi, and found it was a way of exalting the creator God that gave life to his "sisters" and "brothers". He in fact started calling all things with the title of brother if referred to masculine nouns, and sister if feminine. Sister Moon and Brother Sun are an example of this. Altogether with a change in life views he also started repudiating his father's richness. It is emblematic when in the middle of the square he remained stark naked giving all he had back to his father, who was deeply against the son's changes.
From this moment on, and for another twenty years until his death, Francis lived a life of extreme poverty, without shoes, little clothing and food, and constantly punishing his body as he considered it the means to sinning and the cage of the soul. He was even used to call his body "brother body donkey" as a way of remembering himself how much he despised it. He punished it so much that he got severely hill and died at 45 after a life of extreme sufferance. During the last two years of his life he also received the stigmata.
What are the teachings of Saint Francis? I am far from being able to give a theological opinion, but after being raised a Catholic and having believed him a true saint, I now see how his legacy may have also brought much harm to our society.
If on one side Francis taught us that the essence of things is always to be preferred over a life of endless accumulation of ephemeral wealth, on the other he has completely misunderstood the role of body and soul, even within the realm of Christianity, if not on a pantheistic scale.
The way I see it, very simply put, the body is not the cage of your soul. On the contrary, it is one thing with your soul. If the concept of soul makes you uncomfortable, let's call it your true self. When you punish your body you are really punishing your true self. If Saint Francis felt the urge to do it, and felt better after doing so, that is more attributable to some sort of self persecution or even schizophrenia, and has nothing to do with religion. If one were to behave as he did he would be forcibly treated in a hospital and spend years in analysis. Just like light, our body behaves like matter and like energy at the same time.
The Catholic religion has mistakenly interpreted Jesus' teachings for centuries, and probably even exploiting them. The fact that Jesus reached his aim in life suffering and dying was merely to show that, though a mortal man, he did achieve great things in life (and I am not talking about miracles), reaching the heart of many. Christ's suffering was twisted to make pain the mean through which you can achieve a good life and perhaps sanctity. This syllogism only produced a series of silly moralisms, deep frustration, and even religious fanaticism.
I feel deeply sorry for Saint Francis and his devotion to pain and deprivation. I do not entirely reject his life, as many concepts were innovative and taught many rules for a better living and reciprocal understanding. However, he is one of the many responsible for the great divide between our inner selves, and gave great strength to the church's aims of controlling poor ignorant masses through fear for centuries. Cultivating your happiness through the simple enjoyment of everyday life, cherishing your body, is a much faster way to becoming a serene person, much more likely to create well being for yourself and others.
I would love to have your opinion on this. Please comment!
