I applied sufficient power and began the careful, slow rough taxi to the very end of the short, remote gravel bar about 100 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska. The airplane lurched and staggered over softball-sized rocks as I slowly picked my way along. While the main landing gear was quite sturdy, the small tailwheel in the rear of the airplane could be damaged by these large rocks. I taxied a bit into the shallow water at the far end of the gravel bar as the swift glacier-fed waters strengthened by several days of heavy rain in the hills above, rushed over the landing gear. I depressed the left brake, added power and spun the plane around to face the opposite end of the short gravel bar, the tail wheel now under water. I would need every inch of ground available if I was to get airborne before running off the end of the bar and flipping over into the raging, frigid river ahead. My mistake, made several hours ago, was to land on a gravel bar that was too short to take off again. Most airplanes require shorter distances to land than is needed to become airborne. I had really screwed up this time and if I couldn't find a safe way outta' this mess, I'd become just another "pilot error" statistic.
Everyone has to do something and before Diane and I retired to Ecuador and then Mexico a few years ago, my career track looked like a drunken, psychotic clown had charted it, in the dark, drawing with his big clown feet. It wasn't that I had no direction it's more like I accepted opportunities as they came to me and I was quite fortunate that great opportunities always seemed to present themselves. I worked hard at being versatile and professional in all that I did. I held professional certifications as a welder, aircraft pilot, commercial hovercraft pilot and behavioral specialist working with challenging youth. It was working with the nation's most challenging teens through the Boys' Town organization where I learned patience!!!!
I owned a number of businesses over the years (most moderately successful) and ran businesses for others. I eventually found my way into the non-profit sector where I served as a regional CEO for a large, internationally known organization. However, of all the things I've done with my time, flying airplanes is my all-time favorite!
I certainly don't consider myself to be a great pilot, although flying bush planes in Alaska was quite a gig! At best I think I am average and certainly, lucky! I've had numerous discussions with other pilots in several countries. Their perception was that a bush pilot in Alaska and other remote locations gains much more experience than those flying in "civilized" environments with good weather forecasts and numerous airports. The type of flying I was fortunate to do is often considered the best training imaginable for pilots as most landings occurred "off airport" on gravel bars or short flat patches of ground nearly anywhere. Flying on floats meant landing in rivers, at the mouth of streams and in lakes or fjords. The freedom to land practically anywhere often came with a high price if things went wrong.
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. But there are no old, bold pilots! Those of us who fly airplanes have heard that saying many times. The truth of the matter is that flying small, bush-type airplanes in Alaska and other remote locations around the globe requires a certain amount of boldness.
Before the days of GPS navigation, when electronic navigational aids were sparse in the vast wilderness of Alaska, getting from point "A" to point "B" often required a bit of luck mixed with some skill and, of course, a healthy dose of that "boldness" mentioned above. Despite best efforts, the line between boldness and foolhardiness can be a bit obscured at times. Legendary bush pilots in years past took chances that most current pilots would never take. Their aircraft were far less reliable and their missions, extraordinary! Many lost their lives while combatting the harsh elements of Alaska. Even today, the harsh Alaska environment claims lives every year.
Weather forecasts, particularly in and around the numerous mountain ranges, were and remain terribly unreliable to the point that they are often ignored in favor of flying toward your destination and "taking a look". Mountain passes forecast to be open, clear and cloudless could be socked in with fog or snow upon arrival, making it impossible to penetrate. Worse yet is a pass that is open at the entrance, only to become foggy and impassable once inside the narrow canyon walls, often too narrow to turn around. The outcome in those situations is usually grim.
Pilot reports have always been invaluable as one pilot navigates a particular pass and then radios the conditions to the nearest FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) Station to assist other pilots.
I learned to fly in Alaska as a young guy (I'm well into Old Dude status these days). I had a number of instructors while obtaining my initial ratings, several who had been flying Alaska's bush country for a long, long time. Not only was I schooled in the required basics of navigation, weather, airmanship and flight planning but I was also provided with invaluable training in flying the mountains and off-airport operations; learning things that are not taught from any official training material. Once my official training was over, I was then free to continue learning on my own as I flew my small planes through numbers of mountain passes and into and out of some very remote lakes, rivers and gravel bars that served as runways where regular runways did not exist. One learned to read the water and determine wind direction by looking at the leaves on the trees (the underside of a leaf is typically lighter in color than the top and would reveal the direction of the wind when landing on a remote lake).

Sharing my experience as a digital strategist, fundraiser, and web designer.
I have made a big decision: I am scaling back Hines Digital in a return to its roots as a company of one. This is a significant move for me, both personally and professionally, and I thought it worthy of some explanation.


Mason Cleveland's record in early January stood at 26-11, which may have been pretty solid for a lot of wrestlers but didn't come close to the standards the New Hampton/Turkey Valley senior had for himself.
Whatever he did back in early January worked wonders, and the latest proof came Saturday when Cleveland recorded two second-period pins to claim the 126-pound title at the Class 2A district tournament.
He joined Max Babcock (145), Evan Rosonke (182) and Carter Reicks (220) as district champions to give the Chickasaws four qualifiers for the state tournament that begins Thursday night in Des Moines.
For all the NH/TV results, please see the Feb. 12 Tribune.


So how Can you make your WordPress website faster? Well, if you're still using a generic shared hosting company, among the most effective options will, naturally, be to simply switch to a greater performance hosting company. But what if you just have not got the time or money to make the change?
Today, I will be taking an in-depth look at a few of the leading caching plugins around. WP Rocket. In the next review, I'll show you by exactly how much — and how readily — it can speed up your website (using real-life tests and real data).
Caching Involves creating — and saving — a readymade static (i.e. unchanging) version of your site on your own server ready to display to people at a minute's notice. This reduces the demand for your website (or the consumer's browsers) to communicate back and forth with the server to assemble the behind-the-scenes information that creates your website's webpages.
You might Be wondering what happens in the event that you publish a new blog post on a cached website, because, presumably, an unchanging cached version of your website would not take this recently created data into consideration.
It is worth Pointing out that, when it comes to features independently, WP Rocket contrasts fairly Favorably with its rivals. Granted, you're probably more curious about just how much faster your site will probably be following installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), but it is wonderful to know you are not missing out on any significant features.
If you do Decide to explore the further settings and options WP Rocket provides, you will see it's a couple of tricks up its sleeve for potentially improving speed much further, such as the choice to only load media files (like pictures ) when the visitor reaches them on a webpage (a feature known as Lazy Loading).
In fact, When the plugin has been uploaded and activated on your website, the cache will be automatically generated whenever someone visits the site. Everyone visiting your site thereafter should instantly begin experiencing significantly quicker loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to remove all such confusion by being automatically up-and-running right out of the box — without being overly stiff that it's unable to deliver excellent results. After tripping WP Rocket, you'll see only a couple of tabs on the admin panel, each with only a few easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the remainder of the basic settings display here. When there are a few more options to work with, the plugin works just fine without any of them enabled. This really is plug'n' play with caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it's recommended that you browse the online documentation to really see what this plugin could do and just how much additional performance you can squeeze out of it, however, for all those in a hurry (or using zero technical interest in the ins-and-outs of caching), it's safe to say that speeding up your website with WP Rocket could not be made easier.
The main Selling point of WP Rocket is how simple it makes allowing caching on your website. With most other caching plugins, you are faced with the sometimes daunting task of knowing — and filling out — multiple pages of configurations and options. Based on how you configure them, you could easily end up inadvertently doing something somewhat screwy (and even, in rare situations, inadvertently breaking your site).
There's In addition, the option to alter the default cache expiry interval. But, unless you're displaying especially fast-changing or important external dynamic content on your own website (such as critical content from social networking feeds), the default 24-hour lifespan ought to be OK.
One feature That is really nice here's your choice to substitute YouTube video frames with a static preview picture. If you embed lots of YouTube videos on your website, this really is a excellent way to accelerate your site without sacrificing much, if any, usability.
· Remove query strings from static sources (this one won't have a major impact, but it might improve your GTmetrix score, if you really care about that).
I urge Enabling as a number of these configurations as possible. I state as possible because some of those configurations for CSS or JS might cause issues with your site (this is not WP Rocket's fault — it's almost always a potential problem with minification/concatenation).
Without Preloading, your website only"assembles" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the page. That means the very first visitor after the cache lifespan expires doesn't observe the cached version (since the cache has not been constructed yet).
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting region of WP Rocket since there are loads of free plugins which do a great job cleaning your database. However, I guess the main advantage here is that WP Rocket removes the requirement for you to install another plugin.
As You can Discover complimentary Plugins to perform the first part, the next part, in addition to the fact which you can reserve CNAMEs for specific file types provides you more flexibility than many of these free choices.
If you're using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also comprises a dedicated Cloudflare add-on that can help you get setup using Cloudflare and control certain aspects of this Cloudflare service directly from the WP Rocket interface.
What's? More, should you get stuck, the FAQ and support tabs make it exceptionally simple to get into the online instruction, and also open a service ticket from inside your WordPress dashboard — a lovely touch!
Overall, WP Rocket aims to be all things to all people. On one hand, it is quite simple to set up and begin using on your website with default settings that truly create great results, yet, on the other hand, there's also a much large choice of configurations and options to cater to more sophisticated users with specific needs, or people who need more control over how caching works on their website.
If You need to refresh everything in the cache, though (not just newly updated or modified content), it is possible to force WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step farther, you'll also find choices to have unrelated components of your site automatically regenerated if a new post, page, product, comment, or a different kind of content gets added.
While Utilizing WP Rocket from the box is very simple, in the event you get stuck or need to know more of the ins and outs of how it functions, there is quite a bit of high-quality documentation supplied — such as a getting started section, various tutorials, useful FAQs and a handy troubleshooting section.
As Mentioned at the peak of this article, I had excellent results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress site. By analyzing the rate of my site using GTmetrix — using the default settings of WP Rocket and simply uploading and activating the plugin before creating the cache and conducting the tests — the ordinary page loading times dropped from 2.2 minutes to 0.9.
The Website I tested the plugin on was a WordPress blog with the free Twenty Twelve theme, with approximately 80 articles and 37 plugins. The site is hosted on an entry level shared hosting program from HostGator, and does not have any CDN in drama.
No two WordPress websites are the same, though, so that these results might not be common for all sites. They do, however, show that a very fundamental WordPress blog on the lowest priced hosting will almost certainly be able to achieve significantly improved load times using the plugin.
With Prices starting at only $39 for use on one WordPress site, WP Rocket is an inexpensive alternative for many. Additionally, there are some other powerful free options available — such as WP Super Cache, and, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to name but two of many). If you're looking for something that's exceptionally easy to set up and use, however, and also provides access to an extremely beneficial premium service desk, then WP Rocket is a strong competitor.
All Options include one year's access to plugin updates and service. After this period, you may continue using the plugin unsupported or renew your licence to maintain access. There is also a 30-day refund available in case you are not entirely pleased with the plugin after purchase.
Most of The activities you'll be able to execute to optimise the rate of your site take considerable time and effort — if that's optimising media documents, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a new web host or altering themes. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be applied to your website in only a few clicks.
What's? More, if you're a WordPress freelancer, if helping clients with their present sites or creating websites from scratch, then having something such as WP Rocket in your toolkit may be of huge benefit. In only a few minutes, you will be able to speed up a customer's website and provide them concrete results (in the shape of'before and after' online speeds tests), also, when the best way to distinguish yourself from your competition is to provide more value to this customer, things like this will definitely help.


A couple of days ago I said, "perhaps, Robert Lighthizer, who is not an idiot, even when he has to make idiotic arguments, is in charge of President Trump's trade strategy." If that is the case, if there is a plan ~ and I believe that any plan is well beyond the wit of Donald J Trump ~ then it may be bad news for Canada if an article by Tom Blackwell in the National Post, which has been receiving a lot of attention on social media, is accurate.
The CBC says that, during 2017, "key members of the prime minister's inner circle meeting with hundreds of American politicians." That is, broadly and generally, a good idea so long as one remembers the Vandenberg Rule which says that in matters of foreign policy ~ which includes trade, of course ~ "politics stops at the water's edge." What Senator Vandenberg meant, and I think it still applies, is that no matter how much American politicians might do partisan battle with one another in their legislatures, when it comes to US interests in the world, even the most vehement opposition will stand shoulder to shoulder with the administration.
If those "key members of the prime minister's inner circle" were, indeed, trying to drive political wedges into the cracks in the American body politic, rather than just trying to highlight the integrated nature of the North American economy, then I, for one can understand why Mr Lighthizer might see it as an attempted "end run." If he does then Minister Freeland has, massively, screwed up the implementation of a generally sound strategy … all in the name of virtue signalling to promote Justin Trudeau's re-election.
I am sure that Minister Freeland understands the centrality of NAFTA to Canada's immediate future … I'm just not sue that her boss does.

The first called special session of the 83rd Legislature begins in earnest Thursday morning as the Senate Select Committee on Redistricting holds their first, and seemingly only, public meeting.
Gov. Rick Perry called the legislature back on Monday less than an hour after sine die, and the House and Senate have quickly assembled select committees to start discussions. Now three days of hearings are scheduled between the two chambers.
The process threatens to be highly accelerated. Senate committee chair Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, is only planning one meeting, while House chair Drew Darby, R-San Angelo, said he plans to have legislation before Perry by the middle of next week.
However, there could be one catch. While Perry has asked only that lawmakers rubber stamp the interim maps drawn by the San Antonio courts last year, Speaker Joe Straus has already said he will entertain other maps.
Yet Straus' plan comes with its own "however." On Wednesday morning the San Antonio court met to have its latest hearings in the redistricting challenges filed after the 2011 session. During the hearing, Judge Jerry E. Smith said he was not sure how, due to the narrow definition of the call, alternate maps could be considered.
Democrats, unsurprisingly, are working hard to make this less of a done deal than many Republicans would like. Taking Straus' lead, so far eight redistricting bills have been filed in the House: Four by Darby, plus two alternate plans for the Texas House and Congress (So far the Senate has no alternate plans, with only Seliger's companions to Darby's filed so far.) Meanwhile, Mexican American Legislative Caucus chair Rep. Trey Martinez Fisher, D-San Antonio, has sent a letter to Darby requesting that Perry's staff be called to the committee to explain the limited call. He also want House Parliamentarian Chris Griesel to explain how amendments will be handled. More pointedly, he wants Attorney General Greg Abbott to explain why, since he is the leading the state's suits protecting the old maps, he hasn't bothered personally ever turning up in court.

Ok, Extreme4 it is. I do plan to overclock it a little just for the heck of it, but first I need to get all the parts. Will share some photos when i'm done.
Well, I plan to have a 5820K with a couple of graphics cards...the only thing I foresee myself adding would be extra HDDs, so something like Asrock Extreme 3 or 4...or Gigabyte UD3 or UD4 is what I'm looking at.

Human Traffic
By Owen Gleiberman
Updated May 19, 2000 at 04:00 AM EDT
Pop music has been teen-idoled, car-commercialed, and generally overpackaged to the point of suffocation, yet there's always room for a new, annoying trend in soundtrack-driven youth-pulse movies. Call the latest one the cute-ification of rock & roll. The characters in Human Traffic are club kids in Cardiff, Wales, who live for the weekend, when they can take Ecstasy and dance their way into blissful oblivion. They view themselves as fashionably "desperate" rebels, and yet, like the record-store scholars of High Fidelity, they're so self-conscious about living for the music that they give off a vibe of winsome nerdishness that I'm not at all sure the filmmakers intended. Hip yet perky, they're cheerleaders of cool, poking their puppy-punk faces into the camera to express their harmless, gee-whiz iconoclasm, and emitting nuggets of bouncy bloke preciousness like "We're going to get more spaced out than Neil Armstrong ever did!" Wild!
Crammed with broadly surreal fantasy sequences, and shot in a showy, candy-colored style that's too dependent on camera trickery (wide-angle shots, spinning rooms) and that only hypes the facile rhythms of its dialogue, Human Traffic can't make up its mind whether it wants to be Trainspotting or Friends. That's a problem, considering that the characters in the first would gladly beat the crap out of those in the second. The closest the movie comes to having a center is poor, beleaguered Jip (John Simm), a remarkably boisterous victim of self-described sexual paranoia who is too terrified to let himself go all the way with a girl. It's typical of the filmmakers' strategy that Jip is every bit as ironic in his impotence as the others are in their what-the-hell hedonism. There are some zinging techno tunes in Human Traffic, but unlike the forthcoming, San Francisco-set rave comedy Groove, the movie is too cute to lose its head in the music. It never generates its own ecstasy. C

Is Crazy, Stupid Love A Chick Flick?
This has been a very good year for Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. With the much release of The Help, a starring role in The Amazing Spiderman with Andrew Garfield and the recent release of Crazy, Stupid, Love, Emma Stone's career is on fire. Ryan Gosling, too has had his share of hits this year, starring in Drive and The Idles of March with George Clooney.
Since the summer was a light on the chick flicks, I was anxious to see Crazy, Stupid, Love. But is Crazy, Stupid, Love really a chick flick? It is a love story, but it's Steve Carrell's love story, which puts it into the same category as (500) Days of Summer and even Super 8. I am not sure what to call them…I will have to think of a clever name. Do you have any suggestions?
Crazy, Stupid, Love stars Steve Carrell as Cal, a happily married man who doesn't realize that his wife, Emily played by Julianne Moore is not as happily married as he is. After learning that Emily has had an affair and wants a divorce, Cal finds himself at a trendy bar, where he meets Jacob (Ryan Gosling), a charming lady's man who goes home with a different lady every night.
Night after night Cal sits at the bar, drinking, feeling sorry for himself and telling the sad sorry of Emily's infidelity to anyone who will listen. Eventually, Jacob takes pity on Cal and takes him under his wing, as a sort of apprentice wingman. He helps Cal with his wardrobe, conversation skills and just like Mr. Miyagi, Cal not only regains his confidence, but also learns how to pick up women.
On The Other Side of Town
Emma Stone is Hannah, a law student with a boring, PG-rated love life. Her friend, Liz (Liza Lapira) constantly encourages her to break out of her shell and live a little. The problem is, Hannah is basically just a good girl. One night, after a disappointing evening with her bland boyfriend and too much to drink, Hannah decides to throw caution to the wind and have a one night stand with Jacob, 'the cute guy at the bar".
Just how that one night stand turns out leads to some crazy, stupid consequences. After watching Crazy, Stupid Love, I left the theater with a nice warm feeling, which doesn't happen often. I hope am not spoiling the movie by saying that there is a happy ending. An ending that gives you a little faith in the power of love. And who couldn't use a little of that power in their lives. I know I could.
Crazy, Stupid, Love comes out on DVD Tuesday, November 1, 2011. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Also on DVD– November 1, 2011

Miss Representation Tells It Like It Is About Women in the Media
The Sundance Award winning documentary, Miss Representation premiered this week on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network. The film, written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, talks about the way women, and especially women of power are treated by main stream media.Most disturbing is the demeaning portrayals of women in entertainment.
You don't have to go to far to see the examples: the half-naked, busty ladies and hip-hop videos, the ultra-thin models in fashion magazines or the role of the helpless, but ravishingly beautiful girl in many of the action movies released every summer. These movies, along with most of the movies released in this country aimed at teenage boys and men in their 20's and early 30's. Which might explain how short, fat, balding comic characters have girlfriends who look like Cameron Diaz. (But that is another blog post all together. )
The message is loud and clear: You value is in your beauty. What they don't show you is that these impossibly thin and perfectly beautiful women have been digitally enhanced.
The focus of Miss Representation is not only the way that the media portrays women, but also the way those negative portrayals affect how young girls see themselves. It is no secret that children look for role models in the media. In the shows they watch on TV, the movies they see in theaters and even in their toys.
Like me, you probably had a Barbie doll as a young girl. At that time I didn't think too much about the message that Barbie was giving me. I just like changing her clothes and brushing her long blond ponytail. She was a fashion model with Malibu beach house. We wanted to be just like her. But how could anyone ever live up to that impossible body type? With legs that long and boobs that large, those tiny little feet and virtually no waistline at all, a real-life Barbie would tip over.
Romantic Expectations
I have written about Chick Flicks for a few years, trying to redefine what makes a good chick flick. Hollywood can make movies that portray real women, strong, smart women. Movies with strong, realistic female characters like Julie and Julie, Just Wright and The Secret Life of Bees are a few and far between. The filmmakers also noted that the classic women movies of the 1930's and 40's with actresses like Barbara Stanwyck, Bette Davis and Katherine Hepburn feature more independent-minded women than most movies today.
Miss Representation made me think seriously about the way the media portrays women and how it affects us. More importantly, how do young girls view themselves in relation to what they see on TV and in movies. These are just a few of the thoughts I took away after watching Miss Representation. I would love to hear what you thought of it.
I encourage you to see Miss Representation. You can find it playing on OWN or check for local screening of the film at theaters near you.

'When he came on at Anfield against us, the first thing he did was to switch play with a ball from the outside of his foot. That alone was worth a ticket because I don't think too many players could do that.
'He's that type of player. Fans in the North-East might not be able to see that again, so this is a great opportunity.
'Realistically, I'd prefer him not to play but as a football fan I always want the best players to play.
Patrick van Aanholt is set to start vs Liverpool after scoring Sunderland's FA Cup winner against Leeds
'But we're going to miss him, we'll just have to go to the States to watch him now.' Poyet, though, feels that some of the criticism aimed at Gerrard – namely his failure to win a Premier League title – is unfair.
'It's typical of football, we only concentrate on the bad things,' he said.
'He won the Champions League, he won the UEFA and FA Cup. He won the lot pretty much, so why are we going to focus only on the one thing missing? That's football. They were close last year and I'm sure that was terrible for him because that's the closest you can get.'

When Phebe Givens was growing up in north Minneapolis, her mother worked as a washroom attendant at the Minneapolis Athletic Club to support the family.
So it was a proud moment when, years later, Givens invited her mother to join her there for Mother's Day brunch.
By now, Phebe Givens was one of Minnesota's wealthiest women and a member of the exclusive club — and her mother was her guest. "So she got to sit and be served," recalled Roxanne Givens, Phebe's daughter. "It was just remarkable." And, she added, "really pretty symbolic."
Phebe Givens, a philanthropist and co-founder of the Givens Foundation for African-American Literature, died April 23 at age 93.
"She shattered a lot of barriers," said her daughter, Roxanne. "Everybody thought of her as this beautiful woman and this gracious woman — and she was. But she was a dedicated community leader."
Givens was the widow of Archie Givens Sr., a real estate developer who was considered the first black millionaire in Minneapolis. Together, they built a dynasty that included the first integrated nursing homes in Minnesota in the 1950s and 1960s.
While her husband was viewed as the entrepreneur, "my mother was always right by his side, encouraging him and often working together," said their son, Archie Givens, who now heads the family foundation.
Born in 1922, Phebe Givens grew up in the same North Side neighborhood as her husband. She went to a small black college in Missouri while he remained in Minneapolis, trying to scrape together a living.
According to family lore, her husband lured her back to Minnesota in 1942 "and married her against everybody's wishes," said daughter Roxanne.
Her husband admitted as much in a 1973 article in the Minneapolis Star. "They said it would never last because she was a nice girl and I was considered a street boy," he said.
But they proved to be a good match. As they opened nursing homes in and around the Twin Cities, Phebe Givens was the first African-American to be licensed as a nursing home administrator in Minnesota, according to the family.
In 1972, as their business thrived, the couple started the Archie and Phebe Mae Givens Foundation, initially to provide scholarships for black students in the Twin Cities.
But after her husband died in 1974, the foundation's mission changed.
In the 1980s, the foundation gave $75,000 to the University of Minnesota to help purchase a major collection of black literature. Now known as the Archie Givens Sr. Collection of African-American Literature, it has grown from some 3,000 items to more than 10,000, and is considered one of the most important collections of its kind, said John S. Wright, professor of African-American, English and African studies at the University of Minnesota.
"Phebe was tireless in promoting the collection and the foundation's work," he said. She was particularly pleased, he said, that the collection is used to educate students around the country, through touring exhibits.
She also loved music and traveling, and served on numerous boards, including at the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center.
"Somebody said she was like the Rose Kennedy of the black community," said her daughter-in-law, Carol Meshbesher.
In addition to her son, daughter and daughter-in-law, Givens is survived by three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis.

Leading After a School Shooting: A Principal's Role in Recovery, Healing, and Prevention Event
Event | February 12, 2020 12:00–1:30 pm ET
Hart Senate Office Building, Room 902, Washington, D.C.
Founded in April 2019, the NASSP Principal Recovery Network (PRN) is a national network of current and former school leaders who have experienced gun violence tragedies in their buildings. Together, the PRN seeks to assist principals in the immediate aftermath of a crisis and well beyond. PRN members provide much-needed support to their colleagues; share the combined wisdom of their experiences with the larger principal community; assist schools during recovery; and advocate for national school safety enhancements and violence prevention programs.
At this free PRN event, administrators discussed their stories, lessons learned through tragedy, and recommendations for congressional action to support schools impacted by gun violence and prevent future tragedies.
This event was livestreamed on Facebook.

Books to look forward to in 2023 – The Seattle Times
Making a January list of "books to look forward to" is a hopeless task; there will be hundreds and hundreds of books out in the new year, each of them potentially thrilling to somebody. But here's a representative list of just a few that caught my eye. Here's hoping all of us find plenty of good reading in 2023!
by Deepti Kapoor (Riverhead Books, Jan. 3).
A ton of buzz surrounds this novel, already sold in 20 countries and set for an FX television adaptation. Taking place in contemporary New Delhi, it's both crime drama and family saga, with a wealthy, corrupt family at its center.
By Prince Harry (Random House, Jan. 10)
Like everyone won't be talking about this one. Let's hope that Harry hasn't blurted everything out in his Netflix series already.
By Patricia Field (Dey Street Books, Feb. 14)
Now in her 70s, the influential costume designer behind "Sex and the City" and "The Devil Wears Prada" looks back on a lifetime of style.
By Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (Pantheon, April 4)
From the bestselling author of "Friday Black," this dystopian novel examines the American prison system through the lens of a profit-raising program in which two female gladiators must fight for their freedom.
By Nicole Chung (Ecco, April 4)
The author of the elegant memoir "All You Can Ever Know" returns with a second book, writing about the illness and death of her adoptive parents during the pandemic, and about class, inequality and grief.
By Curtis Sittenfeld (Random House, April 4)
Not sure why this one isn't coming out for Valentine's Day? The slyly funny Sittenfeld, whose previous novels include "Rodham" and "Eligible," here spins a love story involving a late-night-TV sketch writer and a pop star.
By David Grann (Doubleday, April 18)
I couldn't put down Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon" a few years back; now he's back with another potentially mesmerizing nonfiction saga — an 18th-century tale of shipwreck and survival.
By Dennis Lehane (Harper, April 25)
Lehane, whose mesmerizing crime novels have inspired numerous movies ("Mystic River," "Gone Baby Gone," "Shutter Island"), is back with a stand-alone thriller set in 1974 in south Boston, where a young woman has gone missing and a young man is found dead.
By Tom Hanks, illustrated by R. Sikoryak (Knopf, May 9)
Apparently the Oscar-winning actor is a pretty good writer too? This novel is about the making of a superhero film and the comic books that inspired it — and includes a book-within-the-book bonus of three comics created by Hanks.
By R.F. Kuang (William Morrow, May 16)
A new-author sensation isn't who she says she is — or the race she implies that she is — in this highly anticipated, timely novel from bestselling fantasy author Kuang.
By Jonathan Eig (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, May 16)
Eig, author of "Ali: A Life" and "Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig," writes the first new major biography of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in decades — and the first to include recently declassified FBI files.
By Ivy Pochoda (MCD, May 23)
I loved Pochoda's elegant, tough L.A. noir "These Women" two years ago. Her latest is described as a feminist Western thriller, in which two unexpectedly freed cellmates pursue each other — and the truth about their crimes.
By Colson Whitehead (Doubleday, July 18)
I hadn't realized that Whitehead's terrific 2021 heist novel, "Harlem Shuffle," was the first of a trilogy. The second, set in the early 1970s, continues the story of furniture store owner Ray Carney, who's determined to stay on the straight and narrow — but it's not easy.
By Elizabeth Acevedo (Ecco, Aug. 1)
Acevedo, who won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature with her novel "The Poet X," here makes her debut in fiction for adults with a family saga of Dominican American sisters, one of whom has the gift of knowing when people will die.
By Emma Donoghue (Little, Brown, Aug. 29)
The Irish-born Donoghue is perhaps best known for "Room," but her historical novels ("The Wonder," "Frog Music") are a joy. This one's set in the early 19th century in York, where two girls at boarding school fall dangerously in love.

Looking forward to LOTS more of your Webinars.
While you asked for subjects of future webinars, my wish is about past webinars. I would like to see all webinars recorded and available for viewing at a later time.
In that way, when I miss a webinar, I can view it later when I have some time.
Sounds great! I really appreciate the opportunity to learn new things and webinars are a fun way to learn. How about a webinar on genealogy blogging for us "newbie bloggers?" I know I'd appreciate any tech advice I could get!
Would also love to see brainstorming sessions... I guess more like a G+ hangout, but with someone who is an "expert" in a certain area. If I have a brick wall that ends in Michigan, for example, can we hang out with other folks researching in that area and someone who specializes in that area.
Definitely would like to be able to have recordings for later use or review.
OK, OK. I hear you on the archived webinars.
From the host's point of view, finding server space for storage of large webinar files, and paying for bandwidth to permit downloading of those file is always going to be a problem for some folks out here on the web. Lulu.com no longer support video downloads, and Amazon.com takes 2 weeks to approve a webinar after it has received the submission in DVD via snail-mail.
The Internet Archive is very squirrely, and attempts to upload these large files isn't reliable.
My request is for TOPICS you'd like to see discussed on upcoming webinars.
Do you think it's a good idea to have a "Week in review" webinar, like a genealogy news magazine? Perhaps featuring multiple guests? It take about 10 hours to produce a 1 hour webinar in this case.
How about lining up experts on, say, three states and letting us non-experts ask them questions on their states?
--A multi-week study of Tom Jones' revised Inferential Genealogy series from FamilySearch.org in a similar homework, then discussion format.
--Regular DearMYRTLE Workshop Webinars, with a lot less PowerPoint and a lot more demos.
--An expanded [insert any topic here] Research series where you have homework during the week to view specific online how-to-videos, with follow-up instructions from a Family History Library reference specialist.
I also ditto the recording of the webinars. I cannot always listen at the time scheduled due to other activities.
Really appreciate you working on this!


Radiant heat is absolutely the most comfortable space heating existing. Because no air is moving, it does not provoke any allergens.

UAE based T20 Cricket League to take place in December- January
by SC Desk 13th June 2018
A new elite international T20 cricket league, organised in partnership with the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) and sanctioned by ICC, is set to take place in the UAE this December 2018 – January 2019.
The UAE-owned tournament, the name of which will be unveiled in July, will make its debut in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah with five new franchise teams vying for the inaugural title in a 22 match format to be played over 24 days.
"Our whole focus of what we are trying to do here is to attract talent from all around the world to take part in this competition to help develop young cricketers from Associate Member nations who may have not had the opportunity to play at the highest level in the past," said David East, CEO of the ECB.
This new festival of cricket aims to be the most innovative and inclusive T20 competition in the world with its unique franchise player roster composition, also making it the most internationally-representative. It will provide opportunities for cricketers from both ICC Full Member and Associate Member countries as well as juniors alike, to play with and develop their skills alongside the very best in the world. The five franchises will comprise a squad of 16 featuring six international star players, two emerging players from ICC Full Member countries, three players from ICC Associate Member nations, two Junior Players and three UAE cricketers. No other T20 competition has been established with these developmental goals at their core, and no other event will showcase such a wide array of international talent.
"This competition will introduce the sport to new audiences in the UAE. We want to stage a festival of cricket that is designed to bring the game to all corners of the country and to support grassroots and local cricket," said Zayed Abbas, ECB Board Member and Official Spokesperson.
Cricket is already the second most followed sport in the UAE, with an ever-growing following amongst the population. The high volume of world-class cricket having been played in the UAE over the past five years, has been really important in growing the sport's popularity in the country.
The event has already received the support of six cricket boards of ICC Full Member nations – England & Wales, Ireland, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, New Zealand and the West Indies – and organisers are looking forward to receiving the support of the ICC Associate Member countries, boasting some of the best top emerging cricketers in the world. More Full Member nations are expected to lend their support as we move forward.
Hosted in one of the most unique and desirable locations in the world, the new competition will reflect the UAE's desire to push the realms of possibility and use its unique position as a hub for world-class sport to become the new centre of the cricketing world and the development of the game. With innovation at its heart, this new event will be the latest UAE national sporting asset, aiming to leave a lasting legacy for the game, sport and health and fitness in the UAE and across the region.
Dr. Nasim Ashraf, Chairman of the T20 League Board of Directors, former Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and ECB Board Member, explains that the new competition has been conceived to be a unique platform for the development of the best young cricket talent from around the world.
"Our intention is to build a new event that is here to stay, and one that occupies a niche position in the international cricket calendar. We are not looking to compete with other T20 leagues, we are looking to develop an international festival of cricket that exists first and foremost for the benefit of the players, and with a very specific goal of helping to develop new talent from around the world and grow the game in keeping with global best practices," said Dr. Nasim. "Our players will be at the heart of the action, entertaining and playing the game to the limit, looking to make a name for themselves and a mark on the world of T20. The diversity of players that will compete in this new event will represent the great diversity of the UAE – players of all nationalities love playing and staying in the UAE, with a lifestyle beyond compare. This is a chance for them to come to a winter sports super hub and play 7 star cricket in a competition that will be world-class in its design, organisation, management, quality, sound practices, compliance with rules and regulations, profile, innovation and fan experience," he added.
The new event is being built to ensure it is a commercially sustainable platform of high strategic value towards the promotion of cricket in the UAE and internationally for sponsors and franchise-owners alike. The franchise model has been developed using best practise and learnings from the organisers' experience in sports franchising and international business and is set to offer franchise owners long-term returns and a unique platform to engage with consumers and businesses alike. It is a model and format that has seen the competition be granted a ten year sanctioning from the world governing body for cricket, the ICC.
Further details on the new competition, including its name, schedule, ticket categories and packages, will be released over the coming months.

The Austin Monitor will leave the bulk of the coverage about Donald Trump's visit to, basically, everyone else. However, we will note that the visit once again brought tensions within the Travis County GOP. A statement, released by Travis County GOP Executive Vice Chairman David Duncan, explained that despite the appearance of Chairman Robert Morrow at a protest carrying a sign reading, "Trump is a child rapist," the group supports Trump's bid for the presidency. "We need a unified voice going into November in order to defeat Hillary Clinton," Duncan said. "We stand by Donald Trump for president." The statement also clarified that "Duncan is the head of the newly organized Steering Committee, which handles almost all leadership aspects of the local party. County Chairman Robert Morrow does not represent the official stance of the Travis County Republican Party."

Football Manager 2017 is about to arrive - and Coventry City fans will be hoping to get their hands on the simulation game once it hits shelves across the city.
Whether you fancy taking the Sky Blues to the top flight, or fancy going straight in at the deep end and taking control of Barcelona or Real Madrid, the chances are you are looking for tips and guidance.
We all want to know how to make a club's budget stretch further.
And a typical way to do this is by opting to recruit and acquire wonderkids, rather than the finished product.
Of course, many of these players do not reach the same heights in real life, but every version of the game throws up its own wonderkids.
You can already pre-order your copy of Football Manager 17 by clicking here for a digital download via Steam or here for a physical copy on disc for PC .
Here is Dominic Booth's look at the 20 best youngsters you can bag for a bargain on Football Manager 2017.


Human Nature are Australia's leading pop vocal group, having released nine albums (many containing their own, self-penned original material), five of which went to #1 in their native continent, selling millions of records world-wide and garnering 24 platinum awards, 18 Top 40 hits and five Top 10 hits. The group has opened for Celine Dion and Michael Jackson in Europe and Australia. Their chart-topping Motown tribute, Reach Out, went five-times-platinum, attracting the attention of famed songwriter Smokey Robinson, who recorded "Get Ready" with them and presented them in an exclusive booking at Las Vegas' Imperial Palace, where they have played five and six nights a week to sold-out crowds for the past six years.
The group was formed in 1989 with Toby Allen, Phil Burton and brothers, Andrew and Mike Tierney. Originally they were a doo-wop group, the 4 Trax, while the members were schoolmates. After signing with Sony Music as Human Nature, they released their debut album, Telling Everybody, in 1996.
Let's take a look to their style. They are famous with their outfits - when they are going to concerts and ceremonies they wear suits. They like to be different - avoid the black suits, and make unique combinations with colours.
The team of Be Global Fashion wish you Happy Holidays!

Titanfall: Frontline Mobile Game Cancelled; Developers Will Refine Concepts "in Future Titanfall Mobile Games"
The upcoming mobile iteration of the popular first-person shooter has officially been cancelled, according to developer Particle City.
Last year, Titanfall 2 brought the series into some exciting new directions thanks to the addition of a single-player campaign and plenty of refinements to its multiplayer, while the upcoming side experience Titanfall: Frontline for iOS and Android has unfortunately been cancelled, according to the development team.
In a post on the game's official Facebook page, developers Particle City confirmed that Titanfall: Frontline – a mobile card game adaptation of the Titanfall series – has been canceled following the team's statement that the title "wasn't ready to deliver the intense action-packed gameplay synonymous with Titanfall."
Titanfall: Frontline was available in a closed beta for iOS and Android users while in the midst of development. However, the recent statement from Particle City suggests that, ultimately, the title didn't live up to expectations of the original series, with the game's servers being taken offline on January 20th, 2017.
Despite the game's cancellation, Particle City explained that "we've learned an incredible amount in the beta test of Titanfall: Frontline," adding that the team is "excited to take some of the concepts we saw resonate with players and build off of them in future Titanfall mobile games."
Aside from Titanfall: Frontline, the most recent experience that players can enjoy from the series is last October's Titanfall 2, which brought the series across PS4, Xbox One, and PC at launch and received positive critical reception, including the review from our own Giuseppe Nelva of the title, which received a score of 9.0.

The book covers data migration, data consolidation, and data integration, the three scenarios that are typically part of the information integration life cycle. Organizations typically find themselves migrating data to Oracle and either later, or at the same time, consolidating multiple database instances into a single global instance for a department, or even an entire company. The business savings and technical benefits of data consolidation cannot be overlooked, and this book will help you to use Oracle's technology to achieve these goals.
The book covers everything from the early background of information integration and the impact of SOA, to products like Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator. By the end you'll have a clear idea of where information and application integration is headed and how to plan your own projects.

Bewitched & Bedeviled
Using ideas derived from cognitive science, Kirsten C. Uszkalo constructs a framework which moves through the stages of possession and exorcism to describe how the social, religious, and medical were internalized to create the vivid and vexed cognitive, physical, and cultural manifestations of demon possession in early modern England.

Witch Tools
We have developed a series of tools including a Throwing Bones Interface a visuzlization too, an expandable databrowser, a mapping tool, and the proximity search datamining tool will enable the researcher a more naturalistic way of seeing textual patterns, and will enable her to engage meaningfully with the ones she sees. To try these tools out, pick them from the side navigation.
Several technologies are invoked to construct this multidimensional picture of how witchcraft was represented in print for the WEME project. Along with my RAs, I make use of a data entry interface (Django) to record assertions - the who, what, when, where, and how – of the events of early English witchcraft. These assertions include an excerpt from the original text and page numbers / signatures and the interpretation and classification of the event structured by one or more hierarchical classifications, such as "Bewitchment," "Injury," and "Accusation" Geographic data is recorded, indicating the parish and county and corresponding latitude and longitude. People are also classified hierarchically with classifications such as "Witch", "Unwitcher", or "Victim." The system uses these assertions to produce clusters of cards in the Throwing Bones interface. This interface makes use of several web technologies and frameworks including PHP, Django, J2EE, AJAX, MySQL, JQuery, and Apache, as well as off-the-shelf analysis and visualization packages such as the Flamenco data browser, Google Maps API. Making use of these pre-existing technologies helps the project present agile and interactive modes of recording and interacting with early modern English witchcraft.

Northern Devon Healthcare NHS Trust is asking for support from patients and visitors following an outbreak of flu at North Devon District Hospital (NDDH).
The hospital has not said how many people have been affected, but staff are asking people not to visit if they are displaying symptoms of flu, such as fever, cough, runny nose and sneezing.
Patients should not attend their outpatient appointment if they are displaying flu symptoms and should call the number on their appointment letter to rearrange their appointment.
When in hospital, people should adopt good hygiene practices. 'Catch it. Bin it. Kill it.' - carry tissues and use them to catch coughs or sneezes, then bin the tissues and kill the germs by keeping hands clean using soap and water or the gels provided, and encourage others to do the same.
Darryn Allcorn, director of nursing, quality and workforce at the Trust, said: "Everyone can continue to play their part in preventing the spread of flu by considering whether they need to visit the hospital if they have flu symptoms, getting the flu jab and using local pharmacies and NHS 111 for medical advice.
"We always ask people to think carefully about whether the most appropriate NHS service for their needs could be the nearest minor injuries unit, their local GP, their local pharmacy, or the NHS 111 helpline.
People can now use a free app to help them decide where to go for treatment.
NHSquicker shows up-to-date waiting and travel times for local emergency departments (A&Es) and minor injuries units in Devon and Cornwall, based on the user's location. It also provides information about other NHS services, such as GPs and pharmacies.
To download the app, search for 'NHSquicker' in the App Store or Google Play.
Good nutrition is essential for a strong immune system, which may offer protection from seasonal illnesses such as the flu.
A balanced diet that contains a variety of foods from all food groups is encouraged, but foods high in protein, vitamins A, C, D and E, and zinc may offer immune system enhancing benefits.


Our Govan Craft Cafe recently completed a project working with the local Pirie Park Primary School.
The project saw 32 children and 22 members work together for 4 weeks, with the older Craft Cafe members passing on creative skills to the Primary 7 pupils, including mosaic, grouting and book-binding. The artwork they produced will now be displayed in a local shop window for the rest of the area to enjoy.
"I have enjoyed the art stuff and meeting new people, and the art that people do here is awesome. I enjoyed making new friends and meeting staff members."
"I really enjoyed it. I think it was so fun, I loved it. Everyone there was so funny!"
"I enjoyed marbling and I don't want it to finish because I really like art."
"I thought it was absolutely brilliant! It brings you back to your own childhood days, but I wasn't as clever at school – some of their drawing were amazing. They were enthusiastic, inquisitive – always asking questions. I have now got a few new pals!"
"They did not see us as 'old', they called us by our names and just accepted us. They were also asking from week to week 'how are you doing?' it felt like they saw us as friends."
"It was interesting to see how some of those pupils, who can be disengaged in class and find it challenging to collaborate with others, engage and work with their senior partners so successfully. Some of the pupils described the members of the centre as their friends and it was a valuable way of developing social skills and empathy. The sessions surpassed my expectations and the 'feel good' factor it created in the children and adults was palpable. It was a great way to bring the generations together and I hope this can continue."
