Casey Crouch Receives Zane Schulte Award
Posted on November 14, 2018 by Molly Montag
Actress Susan Lucci was nominated 19 times before she finally took home the Daytime Emmy for her work on the soap opera All My Children. Trainer Casey Crouch – who before this year had been nominated several times for the Zane Schulte Award, but never won – will now receive the esteemed bronze named in honor of the late teenage cutter.
Crouch, of Corsicana, Texas, received a phone call from Barbra Schulte, the mother of the award's namesake, telling him that he'd won.
"[I was] pretty shocked and excited at the same time," Crouch said. "I was tickled. I think it's a very cool honor."
The award is given annually to a cutting horse trainer who embodies the characteristics of Zane Schulte, who died in 2000 at age 16 after a battle with cancer. Zane's parents, Tom and Barbra Schulte, wanted to recognize someone who shows the things for which their son is remembered: integrity, service, values, respect of their peers, contribution to the industry and excellence in the arena.
"The people who nominated Casey so believed in him and what he has contributed to their lives, not only in learning cutting but also personally," Barbra Schulte said. "They believed he also contributed to the sport as a whole through his consistent dedication to the youth in our sport, as well as to help so many from start to finish during weekend shows…just to name a few of the reasons."

Crouch, who became an Equi-Stat Elite $1 Million Rider this year, began cutting as a youth. Although he posted his first check to Equi-Stat – a whopping $11.25 — on April 18, 1987, aboard Sugar Leo Quixote, Crouch figures he'd already been in the show pen for years by then. He's been busy ever since, campaigning champion horses and coaching riders to titles in the American Cutting Horse Association and the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA).
He's had two NCHA World Champion horses, winning the $5,000 Novice Horse Open in 2015 with Twistin At The Roxie (Freckles Fancy Twist x High Boon x Mecom Blue) and last year's $25,000 Novice Horse Open with Louis The Cat (High Brow Cat x Louella Again x Dual Pep). Louis The Cat also won a World Championship that year with one of Crouch's non-pros, Tyler Delange.
Still, Crouch says the biggest reward hasn't been the championships, but seeing his customers progress and gain success in training and in the show ring. His biggest thrill was seeing his son, Chaser, win the 2018 NCHA Senior Youth World Championship at age 17 with the family's mare, GS Zans Cat.
"I love to help people, so it's enjoyable to me and it does something for me just to see that person, whether he's showing or working a horse practicing or whatever, for the light to come on at that moment when they understand what you're saying and get it," he said.
Crouch credited is wife, Chelsa, and Chaser for making his cutting career possible. As of Nov. 12, Crouch had a lifetime Equi-Stat record of $1,181,114.
"It's a team effort and everything you see is about the team," he said. "It's not me or one individual. It's all of us."

Q: Draw circles, half plane, angles How can I draw

A circle with center z and radius R. A circle with center z and radius r, smaller than R. Label above and below the radius R, label just above radius r.
Three consecutive half-planes, one inside another, which are formed by 3 consecutive vertical lines. I want the color of the background of each strip, that the consecutive vertical lines create, to fade from the first to the last, but the vertical lines still be visible. Finally in each strip I need 3 labeled horizontal lines, crossing each strip.

A: I hope to have interpreted correctly what you want. UPDATE: I hope to addressed your requests. (The first one I did not understand, but you said you can do it yourself. ;-)

Q: Software design practice in C For OOP languages, there are many books describing how to design software, and design patterns are mainly for OOP languages.
I am wondering whether there are any books/good articles teaching how to use C in a big project, like it is a good practice to use static functions when this function is only used in a single file.

A: If you want a more C specific book then you could look at The Practice of Programming by Kernighan and Pike.
NB: I've always thought of OOP as a way of looking at design; the fact that some languages provide explicit support for it is nice but not esssential.

A: G'day,
While heavily focused on C++, John Lakos's excellent book "Large-Scale C++ Software Design" has a lot of information that is very relevant to the design of software written in C.
Edit: Oooh. After seeing @Jackson's suggestion for the excellent "The Practice of Programming" I'd also highly recommend Eric Raymond's excellent book "The Art of UNIX Programming.". Thanks for the reminder @Jackson.
HTH
cheers,

A: Dave Hanson's book C Interfaces and Implementations is a wonderful example of how to do large-scale programming in C: by dividing your system into interfaces and implementations.  At one go, the book provides good examples and also useful building blocks.   For people who have been around, this is very much a rebadging of object-oriented design as practiced by Barbara Liskov (who recently won the Turing Award for it).  Think of it as OO programming but without inheritance.
A terrific book for anybody who has to write C.

A: *

*C FAQ

*K & R

*Linux kernel source code

A: Writing solid code

A: I know sometimes it can't be avoided, and that is probably your situation, but you shouldn't be using C for large projects if you can at all help it.
I know this is the kind of statement that leads to knee-jerk responses from fans, but for everybody else, including the language's own authors, it is an obvious fact. For instance, here's an excerpt from the history the the DoD's search for a language to support way back in the late 70's (the High Order Language Working Group):

Other languages were considered for formal evaluation, but were not included because preliminary examination led one to believe that they would not meet the requirements so were not viable candidates for the purposes of the DoD. One such language was C. At that time DARPA was working with Western Electric/Bell Labs on UNIX, contractually supporting some DARPA contractors and other government facilities using UNIX. It was the evaluation policy to have the owners provide assessments of their own languages, in addition to the contracted evaluations, so HOLWG took advantage of this connection between DARPA and Bell Labs to request their cooperation. When Bell Labs were invited to evaluate C against the DoD requirements, they said that there was no chance of C meeting the requirements of readability, safety, etc., for which we were striving, and that it should not even be on the list of evaluated languages. We recognized the truth in their observation and honored their request.

A: The same principles for OOP apply to C, with the exception you don't have classes. However, an idea which is applicable to C, of which OOP is an implementation, is the concept of Abstract Data Structures - ADT.
The book "Data Structures and Algorithms" is a classic and should be read.
http://www.amazon.ca/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Alfred-Aho/dp/0201000237
In general, the same principles that apply to OOP, can be applied to ADT. Read design books for principles, not details.

A: You must read Expert C Programming  by Peter van der Linden.

A: Here is a PDF on object oriented C.  This article is fairly old, but worth a read.
http://www.planetpdf.com/codecuts/pdfs/ooc.pdf

A: The Cheshire Cat idiom is a useful way of reducing coupling in C and is very helpful when designing large projects.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheshire_Cat_Idiom_(programming_technique)#C

A: Code Complete 1st Ed by Steve McConell is more oriented towards C, that may be worth a look as well. At any rate his books are great reading for any professional programmer.

by Spitalfields Life Books at £20.
Julian Woodford uncovers the breathtakingly appalling life of Joseph Merceron (1764–1839), gangster and corrupt magistrate, who accumulated enormous wealth while presiding over the creation of the poorest slums in Georgian London.
Ruling Spitalfields and Bethnal Green from his base in Brick Lane for half a century, Merceron gave the East End the bad reputation that still lingers today, while the exploits of recent mobsters and political miscreants pale by comparison with his staggering violence and ruthlessness.
Julian Woodford's shrewd biography, the first on this subject, is essential reading for all those interested in eighteenth century London, anyone fascinated by the capital's criminal history and everyone who loves an exciting true story well told.
"…more than just a picture of a narcissistic personality with no regard whatsoever for the truth, interesting and apposite to our own times though that may be. The author has understood the wider social crisis underlying the chaos… This is a fine book…deserves to become a standard work on a London district which is still, today, subject to several sorts of threat…" – Gillian Tindall, TLS.
"…a most handsome 'life and times' biography, which shows just what the historians have been missing… Julian Woodford has done an extraordinary job in teasing out what it is possible to know about his subject… as an exercise in retrieving the irretrievable, Woodford's Boss of Bethnal Green could hardly be bettered." – Jerry White, The Times.
"[Merceron] operated out of Brick Lane like a prototype Kray brother. His ruthless greed and thirst for power are described with real narrative verve and a suitably appalled eye." – Evening Standard, Best London books of 2016.
"Apart from being a superb and informative read, the book is very nicely constructed. Beautifully designed and peppered with well-chosen photos, illustrations and portraits, all where they belong in relation to the text… a fascinating and impeccably-researched account. It is sensational without being sensationalist, which is what makes it such a gripping read. It's everything an accessible history book should be and I commend it to you." – London Historians, Best Books 2016.
"Ten years in the making, The Boss of Bethnal Green is essential reading for anyone interested in the criminal and political histories of our city, and how the two interweave." – Hackney Citizen.


I was introduced to one of South Korea's leading beauty brands, SEP at Glasshouse, Seputeh last Thursday during their official launch of the famous SEP Jeju Mask Pack in Malaysia.
Made in Korea, these facial mask packs are formulated with clean and natural key ingredients from the nature's paradise - Jeju Island and it caters to different skin types to deliver the best results. The four types of facial mask packs are SEP Canola Honey Nourishing Mask, SEP Cactus Fruit Moisturing Mask, SEP Tangerine Brightening Mask and SEP Green Tea Soothing Mask.
Media and guests were educated by Mr.Yong and Ms.Seo about the SEP, the leading beauty brand in Korea and Asian women can truly understand the importance of innovating beauty products in Asia as SEP Jeju mask packs are designed to help women with skin issues so that they can be more confident and comfortable with themselves.
It is said that SEP Jeju Mask Packs gives maximum absorption of the essence and nutrient by an innovative formula known as air pocket sheet - it contains small airy space on the facial mask fabric that adheres to the skin and enclose air, locking in the active-rich essence. It seems very effective and I really can't wait to try them out, especially after a long tiring day. The best part, it's suitable for all age and skin types.
Next up, a lively performance by a local girl band namely De Fam and they sang "Don't Let me Down" and their hit song, "Supergirls". They are so talented that I wished they could perform more.
Let's talk about each SEP facial masks!
- Formulated with concentrated honey extract from Jeju Canola Honey that is high in protein, fatty acid, vitamins and minerals that deeply nourishes and intensely hydrates the skin.
- Contains Centella Asiatica, a.k.a 'Tiger Grass' that has a significant amount of madecassic acid which helps to revive dull and dehydrated skin.
- Rose water, chamomile and lavender were added for a lovely scent, providing soothing effect which can relieve anxiety not forgetting aloe vera providing skin a healthy glow.
- This ultra-moisturizing mask contains cactus fruit that has a high content of vitamin C giving dry complexions a revitalizing and hydrating boost.
- Aloe vera, bamboo, hyaluronic acid and basil acts as a nourishing natural ingredients from Jeju island.
- Oat seed added into the mask to enhances absorption of the nutrients and gently exfoliates, cleanses and nourishes the skin.
- Suitable for sensitive skin as it comes with Salvia extract - a herb that is anti-inflammatory and helps revive and heals the skin.
- Brightens dry and dull looking skin with Jeju tangerine and cucumber, containing Vitamin C which enhances the brightening process and diminish the look of existing pigmentation.
- Contains Devil's claw herb which are all-natural ingredients harvest in Jeju Island that is anti-inflammatory and has sterilization effect.
- Daisy for detoxification and whitening effect, not forgetting Edelweiss and Niacinamide that are water soluble Vitamin B3 for skin whitening.
- Ultimate soothing mask with high concentration of green tea extract that comforts irritated skin resulting in healthier and more radiant-looking complexion.
- Contains tea tree that has anti-bacterial and sterilization reaction that deeply soothes the skin.
- Help in skin renewal with Centella Asiatica containing madecassic acid substance.
- Contains propolis, yam essence and lavender help refresh and moisturize the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
We were then ushered to some activities and I get to create my own terrarium, following up is a buffet lunch.
Time to have a lil look into the goodie bag!! ♥ Thank you Watsons Malaysia.

Btw, SEP Jeju Mask Pack will be available exclusively at all nationwide Watsons stores from January 2017 priced at RM 5.90 per piece and RM 24.90 per box of 5 pieces.
On New Year, there will be a 1-day crazy deal whereby SEP Jeju Mask will be available at only RM 1 per piece.
Yes, only RM 1 on 1st January 2017. Don't forget to grab some to try them out!
Went on a road trip to Penang Island last two weeks with Jack, Seng Loh and Christy (double date as usual, hehe). Just the four of us! We managed to travel there in a safe, pleasant and comfortable manner thanks to Volkswagen Malaysia for allowing us to use the luxury sedan, Volkswagen Passat.
The exterior of the sedan is so eye-catching. Look at the fierce LED Daytime Running Lights and LED Tail lights, it's just so outstanding! I'm always a fan of Volkswagen.
The interior comes with a classic analogue clock at the dashboard, leather gear knob with 7-speed direct shift gearbox DSG and a multi-function leather steering wheel with control for MFD, radio and paddle shift. The front seats comes with an electric 12-way adjustment which I absolutely love. I can adjust the seat according to the comfort I need with so little limits!
We depart from Petaling Jaya at 11A.M. and managed to reach Georgetown at 2.30P.M. It only took us 3 & the half hours to reach with two Rest Stops on the way. The journey was so smooth and stable till we actually drove 200km/hr without realizing how fast we are going. *Oops! Haha.
Besides, I am so SURPRISED with the VW Passat fuel efficiency! It only took us one and the half tank of petrol all the way from Petaling Jaya, to and fro Batu Ferringhi and Georgetown during our 3 days stay and back to Petaling Jaya. The 1.8l 160PS TSI turbocharged direct petrol injection 4-cylinder engine is so awesome with a capacity of 70 litres of petrol.
Just joking! We took turns to drive. I can't drive for such long hours.
We stayed at The Bayview Beach Resort, Batu Ferringhi because we want to repeat our history (we used to stay here the previous time we came to Penang) and we want to be near the beach. Checking-in!!
I love the beach. It's like the best escape; I feel so calm and free..
Trying to get those kinda sweet tumblr photo..
Our first destination, Sister's Char Koay Teow located at Lorong Selamat.
This plate of Char Koay Teow comes with three big prawns and it is fried to perfection! She cooks serving by serving so it does take a lil time for it to arrives. But it's worth the wait when there's some hot fried raddish cake and oyster omelette to fill in a bit of the tummy.
We had this again the next day so I'm gonna double up the photos of the food. Yummmms I'm getting hungry now.
Bigger portion of Char Koay Teow comes with four big juicy prawns!
For seafood, we had our dinner at Bali Hai Seafood Restaurant around Gurney.
The next day, we had Air Itam's Asam Laksa for lunch.
We then head to Penang Road Famous Teochew Cendol but it was raining that time. We ran under the rain anyway and managed to find a spot in Joo Hooi's cafe.
Sweet, gula melaka, cendol, red beans.... I miss.
Had their rojak as well. The sauce is sooo good.
This prawn noodles is the best for supper, I swear. It's so savoury. Located at 338, Jalan Tokong Thai Pak Koong. Must try!
Had some drinks at some bar in Penang, I forgot the name of it. Jack's friends were there to teach us some new dice games! I call it the Penang Dice game hahaha.

Q: Python dynamically add property always returns same result I'm relatively new to python. I created this minimal sample to demonstrate my problem. Within a loop I add some properties to my class during runtime. If I query the properties later I always get the same result. I printed and checked the function instance variables of the function and the property and they all differ as expected. When I invoke the properties I always end up in the result of the last property.
class T:
    def __init__(self):
        specialList = ['MIN', 'DEF', 'MAX']
        for special in specialList:
            def get_property_special(self):
                print('return get_current('+special+')') #call getter with special parameter
                return special # just fake here. Should return value of getter

            print("Dyn function", get_property_special)
            specialProp = property()
            print("Property "+ str(specialProp))
            specialProp = specialProp.getter(get_property_special)
            setattr(T, "current_" + special.lower(), specialProp)
            print ("define property: current_" + special.lower())

b = T()
print(b.current_max)
print(b.current_min)
print(b.current_def)

Results in:
Dyn function <function T.__init__.<locals>.get_property_special at 0x0000026D6D8805E0>
Property <property object at 0x0000026D6D8929A0>
define property: current_min
Dyn function <function T.__init__.<locals>.get_property_special at 0x0000026D6D8A9790>
Property <property object at 0x0000026D6D892AE0>
define property: current_def
Dyn function <function T.__init__.<locals>.get_property_special at 0x0000026D6D8A94C0>
Property <property object at 0x0000026D6D892B30>
define property: current_max
get_current(MAX) #ok
MAX
get_current(MAX) #Error: why MAX called min
MAX
get_current(MAX) #Error: why MAX called def
MAX

Edit: I want the property to call the getter with the parameter MIN, MAX, DEF

A: With the hint from David Meu I modified the code and now it works:
class T:
def __init__(self):
    specialList = ['MIN', 'DEF', 'MAX']
    for special in specialList:
        def get_property_special(self, sp = special):
            print('return get_current('+sp+')') #call getter with special parameter
            return sp   # just fake here. Should return value of getter

        print("Dyn function", get_property_special)
        specialProp = property()
        print("Property "+ str(specialProp))
        specialProp = specialProp.getter(get_property_special)
        setattr(T, "current_" + special.lower(), specialProp)
        print ("define property: current_" + special.lower())

b = T()
print(b.current_max)
print(b.current_min)
print(b.current_def)


If a plant gets sad, do you think all the other plants photo-sympathize with it?
…oh yeah. And if you track mud in the house mom will have you swinging that vacuum cleaner like a boss!
I hope you enjoyed another triple strip of comic fun this week featuring a few glimpses at our summer life in the backyard garden.
Here on the great Canadian prairies, our berries grow high up in the trees. If you've never tried a saskatoon berry, come to my house — I've got about three liters of the little buggers in the fridge even as I write this. They are tart and sweet and juicy and delicious and they turn your fingers a deep purple when you pluck them from the trees.
We planted a saskatoon tree five years ago and each year our harvest gets a little bigger — even though not all of them make it into the house. Does it bother me? No… if the kid wants to stuff herself purple with backyard fruit all I can say is that it sure beats whatever else she might decide to eat the rest of the year.
Lettuce turnip the beet. It's garden party time!
The first thing we "built" in our backyard upon moving into the house was a vegetable garden. I grew six potato plants and a small bunch of chives.
I could get all groovie-hippie-earth-dad here, but the reality is that I just like reminding myself that we wouldn't completely starve if the food distribution network collapsed: we'd have at least a week's worth of salad and enough berries to bake a pie or two… over the burning remains of society.
I also didn't want to have one of those kids who says matter-o-factly that food comes from "the grocery store" when asked. I knew kids like that when I was a scout leader in a big city: Milk comes from a jug. Meat comes from a freezer. Veggies are in aisle one right by the door.
No, The Girl will get her hands dirty, even just a little bit.
And hopefully in the process her dad will learn to grow something besides a heckuva lotta weeds.

Non-Communist Europe welcomed the aid and the 12.5 billion US dollars kick-started the European economy and helped European integration.
The thoughts of Kovács and Kováts go to the US today and we picked the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" to pay tribute to the contribution of the USA to European integration. And we picked a rather rare version of the song, performed as a twist of fate by the Russian Red Army choir and the Leningrad Cowboys in 1993.


Teresa Johnson Photography — Catalyst Wedding Co.
Teresa Johnson is a New England-based visual storyteller with a relaxed, natural photography style. If you love moments, genuine emotion, and beautiful light, she's your girl :) Fiercely feminist and staunch advocate for equality. Favorite activities are reading, shopping — and cuddling with my cats.
What is mission of Teresa Johnson Photography?
Let's be super clear: EVERY love story is celebrated equally here. I treat every client with the same warmth, compassion, love and friendship. My goal is to tell love stories that are completely real: we're going to be 100% authentic. In order to do that, we're going to spend time talking (and laughing!) together. I'm going to serve as a resource for ALLLL the wedding questions...and I'm going to be here to help whenever you need me. This business has been built on genuine affection for all of my clients, on respect, and on trust. The experience you have here will help us create the photos that will tell your story for decades to come.
What is Teresa Johnson Photography's origin story?
In 2010, I was working full-time in public relations for a non-profit organization in the sport of archery. We had no money to hire a photographer, but we were sending athletes to Olympic Trials and World Cups and it was obvious that we needed to do a better job of telling our story. With the camera that my husband and I gave each other as a Christmas gift, I started taking photos - and became completely obsessed with photography. Four years later, two of my closest friends asked me to capture their wedding. It was an incredible day of uniting two beautiful women and families from two different continents. At the end of the day, I'd never worked harder, but felt like I'd found my calling. I hustled hard, worked full time while photographing weddings for four years, and in 2018, left my job to become a full-time wedding photographer. I have never been happier, and I've never looked back.
It's so difficult to choose a favorite project, because I have genuinely enjoyed every single wedding I've photographed over the past four years! Choosing a favorite would be a bit like asking me to choose my favorite cat (I have four...I digress 🐈). But the weddings that are closest to my heart are those celebrations that are truly personal. The past four and a half years (!) have been a tapestry of traditions - new and ancient, cultural and pop-cultural, secular and religious - that have allowed me to look at the world through a completely different lens. So whether it's two beautiful brides getting married in an aquarium, a Palestinian wedding with 400 guests, a a Soul Train line, or a Persian knife dance, I am down for ALL OF IT.
Our industry is still too homogenized, and I believe that *true* disruption is about challenging perceptions. As photographers, our responsibility is twofold: first, to ensure that every potential client can see themselves in our past work, and know that we celebrate ALL love stories. Second, we have an incredible opportunity to make an impact by allowing people to (literally) see another person, culture, religion, whatever - through a different lens. This is particularly true of wedding photography. Pictures are POWERFUL: we have the chance to tell stories that spread love, inspire compassion, and speak to the beauty of diversity.
What three ingredients are necessary for a great day at Teresa Johnson Photography?
My ideal clients are people (and sometimes their pets). Seriously. Every person has a story to tell, and in order to document those stories, I fall a little bit in love with every single client. I'm curious about where you came from. I'm interested in your story. I want to know what makes you laugh, who's most important to you, how and why you and your partner chose one another. THAT is the story I want to tell. So if you're quiet but fierce about that love, I'll document it. And if you scream it from the rooftops, I'll capture it. And if love means just walking and talking and laughing, that's perfect, too. So — YOU are my ideal client, because you are uniquely beautiful, and you have a story to tell.
"Teresa is amazing!!!! I can not rave enough about how obsessed i was with how my wedding photos came out. She specializes in candids and we absolutely loved her work. She is also extremely easy to work with and listens well to your requests! She is so talented.... we now have so many amazing photos to choose from. LOVE her and recommend her 12/10. 😘😘"

Vanessa Kirby Responds to Romance Rumors Between Her and 'Mission: Impossible' Co-Star Tom Cruise
By Rachel McRady 6:56 AM PDT, July 5, 2018
Vanessa Kirby's love life isn't quite as scandalous as Princess Margaret's on The Crown!
The 30-year-old star of Netflix show about the royal family opens up about her career and the rumors surrounding her love life.
Kirby's next venture is playing opposite Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Fallout and it was during the filming of the action flick that she got a taste of the downsides of fame. Prior to landing the role, the actress says she prepared for her audition by binge watching all of the Mission: Impossible films.
"I was like, 'I can't not know what I'm talking about,'" she tells Marie Claire UK. "And then in the meeting, of course, we didn't talk about any of it. My boyfriend was like, 'I will have that theme music in my head for the rest of my life."
Thank you so much to @marieclaireuk and that magical team @jaynepickering_marieclaire @missmarthahayes @kerryhallihan @prosperpr
A post shared by Vanessa Kirby (@vanessa__kirby) on Jun 29, 2018 at 7:27am PDT
Kirby is dating War & Peace actor Callum Turner, but it wasn't their relationship that sparked rumors during the filming of Fallout. Photographers shot images of Kirby kissing her 56-year-old co-star, Tom Cruise, while filming a scene for the film, which led some to speculate that the two were an item.
"Even though the crew were there, it was all [in the tabloids] like, 'The next wife falls at his feet,'" she recalls. "The most disconcerting thing was the people I didn't think would believe it, did, and they were texting my boyfriend, asking, 'Are you OK?' I don't think they believe anything they read now because you just can't. None of it is real. To be getting married to him? Not even a snog, it was marriage."

The experience taught her a lot about fame and dating in the public eye.
"It's a weird feeling," she says. "I definitely don't feel it yet. I've been lucky because I barely get recognized, and I keep my relationship super private. [Turner's] just completely wonderful and he's my best friend, so that's… I guess you can either choose to talk about it or not. If you talk about it, it becomes interesting to people, but if you don't, then it's not."

Chef Nathan Sartain named 2015 Educator of the Year
For the second time in his career, Saint Paul College Culinary Arts instructor, Chef Nathan Sartain, has been recognized for excellence in teaching. Last month, Sartain was named the 2015 Educator of the Year by the American Culinary Federation Minneapolis Chef's Chapter. In 2012, Chef Sartain was named a Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees Outstanding Educator for exceptional professional accomplishment and excellence in instruction that prepares students for their professional careers and services to their community.
Sartain started his teaching career at Saint Paul College in 2005 after earning his Associate in Occupational Studies Degree in Culinary Arts from Western Culinary Institute in Portland, and a Bachelor's Degree in Culinary Management from Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul. He has also worked professionally in all facets of the culinary industry – from leading kitchens in award-winning fine dining to catering feature film sets and photo shoots across the American West.
It is Chef Sartain's passion for preparing healthy, sustainable meals and sharing that passion with his students that sets him apart from other instructors in the industry. He believes that chefs have the ability to change the conventional food system by being a conscious consumer, and works that philosophy into his teachings.


The majority of the world's Endangered lynx live in Andújar Natural Park. Join Wildlife Worldwide expert naturalist John Muddeman on an exclusive BBC Wildlife four-day trip to explore this forest gem in the hope of seeing these elusive wild cats.
In quiet and relatively unpopulated Andalucia a great variety of Spain's wild animals thrive. John will ensure nothing is missed as you explore this beautiful countryside looking out for Eurasian otter, wild boar, mouflon and red deer.
You could see a variety of mammals on this trip, including otters and mouflon (pictured).
The Natural Park is also home to a large population of griffon vultures, as well as good numbers of rare black vultures and Spanish imperial eagles.
Andújar is part of the immense Sierra Morena mountain range and has some of the best preserved Mediterranean forest in the Iberian Peninsula. This primarily consists of open and spacious holm and cork oak, though alder, ash and poplar can be found at the margins of rivers, glades and meadows.
Among the oak forest that clads these hills are grassy glades and secluded valleys where Iberian lynx hunt rabbits, rest amongst the rocks, and raise their young in ancient, hollowed-out oaks.
We'll explore these habitats slowly in a small group, keeping an eye out for the tracks and signs of these felines, hoping for a sighting. Even if we're not lucky with lynx, there are plenty of other species to spot in this wonderful location.
Andújar Natural Park is home to a large population of griffon vultures.
John Muddeman is an expert naturalist and honorary member of Extremaduran Association of Birdwatching and Wildlife Guides. John has excellent natural history knowledge and sharp wildlife skills.

Walker & Royce Announce 'Self Help' LP World Tour Dates
Dirtybird's newest golden boys, New York duo Walker & Royce, announce today that they will set out on a border-hopping fall tour sponsored by the label. The four-month jaunt is both a celebration of and an introduction to their highly-anticipated debut album Self Help. Armed with these fresh productions, all boasting the duo's signature party-ready yet emotional sound design, Samuel Walker and Gavin Royce have something irresistible to offer fans at every stop.
Walker & Royce's Self Help tour kicks off with a run of European dates, culminating with shows at Germany's Kater Blau and Egg London. They then turn their sights back towards home, kicking off the U.S. leg of the tour with a weekend at October's Dirtybird Campout. From there, Walker & Royce begin their victory lap across North America with a slew of club and festival gigs; notable stops include San Francisco's Halycon, Chicago's Spybar, Detroit's Grasshopper Underground, Los Angeles' Sound and San Diego's Bang Bang, with more dates set to be announced soon.
Walker & Royce have also released a visual portrayal of the lead single off their album and one of the most notable tracks of summer 2017, 'Take Me To Your Leader'. The music video showcases what Gavin and Sam, along with longtime friend and collaborator Dances With White Girls, do equally well in their productions: telling a story that takes fans on a journey, and having a hell of a lot of fun along the way. Inspired by old-school pulp alien films Dances' antics in equal measure, the music video is the ideal visual representation of one of Walker & Royce's biggest songs to date.
It is this interconnection between producer and vocalist that helps to create the deep sense of emotion felt throughout the release. By giving up the bedrock of song structure to the creative process of the vocalist, Walker & Royce explore a selfless and diversely passionate style of production known by few. Their journey is one defined by such relationships and this album stands as a culmination of the highs and lows shared along the way.
Self Help puts forth a career-defining debut album – an immensely clever project that lures listeners in with club-ready grooves only to leave them in contemplation. Walker & Royce invite you to get lost in the flowing constructs of their imagination while they search for the constantly evolving remedy of Self Help.

On the road in Hawaii, Princeton team seeks clearer picture of volcanic air quality ›
On the road in Hawaii, Princeton team seeks clearer picture of volcanic air quality
Tuesday, Oct 23, 2018
by Molly Sharlach; additional reporting by Scott Lyon, School of Engineering and Applied Science
Mark Zondlo's research team has tracked greenhouse gases and air pollutants on the streets of Beijing and New York City, around Pennsylvania gas wells, and near animal feedlots in Colorado and California.
These experiments typically take six months of planning, but this year the lab geared up quickly for a time-sensitive mission: monitoring air quality on Hawaii's Big Island during the large eruption of the Kilauea volcano. Between May and August, lava flows destroyed around 700 homes. About 2,500 residents evacuated areas close to the active fissures, and many experienced breathing problems from the volcanic ash and gases.
"This was an opportunity to do something helpful," said Zondlo, an associate professor in Princeton's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and associate director of external partnerships in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. Zondlo was asked to take measurements during the eruption in his capacity as a member of the NASA Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (HAQAST), which helps public health and air quality agencies make use of NASA satellite data.
The team's data and analyses will help public health officials and scientists better understand how volcanoes influence air quality and how changes in air quality might be associated with health effects.
Among volcanic gases, sulfur dioxide poses the most significant risk to public health; it can irritate the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Combined with other molecules in the atmosphere, sulfur dioxide forms fine particles that can travel deep into the lungs: "It gets you in two ways," said Zondlo. Sulfur dioxide is a key component of vog, the volcanic smog that often reduces visibility in Hawaii.
As part of a project called the Princeton Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (PACE), in 2013 and 2014 Zondlo's group developed and operated a suite of gas sensors that detect carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia and other pollutants. The sensors, mounted atop cars and powered by car batteries, are more transportable and use less energy than most monitoring systems. The sensors use lasers that emit light at near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths, developed at Princeton's Center for Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and the Environment.
Each sensor is tuned to a specific wavelength of light based on the molecule it is designed to detect. The Hawaii project was the first time the lab had used a mobile sensor to measure sulfur dioxide levels. Ahead of the trip, the researchers modified a sensor for ammonia, a common pollutant from agricultural activity, to measure sulfur dioxide.
The team dubbed its Hawaii project the Laboratory for Atmospheric Vog Analysis, or LAVA. While driving around and across the 4,000-square-mile island for three weeks, the researchers recorded continuous measurements of seven air pollutants, as well as meteorological data on wind speed and direction, temperature, and humidity.
A major goal of the effort was to complement and fill gaps in data from satellite images and the island's networks of ground monitoring stations. Many populated areas are far from ground monitoring stations, and while satellite data can provide useful information on large spatial scales, these measurements may not reflect the air quality experienced by residents.
"Volcano emissions are lofted into the atmosphere," said Zondlo. In the case of sulfur dioxide, satellite data have difficulty resolving concentrations at different heights, "so the plume [of volcanic gas] could be lofted well above the surface, and the air quality could be perfectly fine at the surface. That's why we need surface networks."
During July and August, every member of Zondlo's lab traveled to Hawaii to join the project, including five graduate students, two staff members, a summer research student and a high school teacher who has worked with the lab for several years. The team worked in three overlapping shifts while staying in a rental house near Pāhoa on the east end of the island, about 20 miles south of the town of Hilo and 10 miles from the volcano's most actively erupting fissure.
"It was uncomfortably awesome," said Zondlo. "From the house, you could see the laze [lava haze] from the lava hitting the ocean. At night, you'd see this huge orange plume in the sky from all the lava reflecting off the clouds and the smoke."
Each evening, the team planned the next day's sampling route by consulting the University of Hawaii's vog model, which combines estimates of volcano emissions with wind forecasts to predict which regions are likely to have the highest concentrations of sulfur dioxide and fine particles. They also reviewed initial observations from the team that had just finished the field sampling that same day.
With help from Princeton's Procurement Services office, Zondlo gained access to an all-electric Chevrolet Bolt — the same type of vehicle his team uses for mobile monitoring studies in Princeton and New York City. Having an electric car is helpful because the exhaust from a gasoline-powered car would interfere with the sensors' measurements.
In groups of three, the researchers spent as much as eight hours per day driving around the island, covering large stretches of coastline as well as the Saddle Road that traverses the island and climbs to an elevation of more than 6,000 feet as it skirts the slope of the dormant volcano Mauna Kea. They took breaks to recharge the car's battery, and sometimes had to stop driving due to the heavy downpours common on the Big Island, said Da Pan and Levi Golston, two graduate students in Zondlo's lab.
Unexpectedly, the eruption of Kilauea stopped dramatically within days of the group beginning sampling. "Our idea of measuring high concentrations downwind of the source, a couple of miles away, kind of went out the window," said Golston.
The team's work was also cut short by Hurricane Lane, which caused severe flooding on the Big Island in late August. Although the timing was somewhat disappointing, said Zondlo, "scientifically it's probably much more interesting than if we had just measured a bunch of vog continuously for 22 days."
"The air quality didn't instantaneously get better as the older lava flowed to the ocean and some emissions still occurred," he noted. "So, it was kind of nice that we actually measured that transition."
Because trade winds sweep west or southwest across Hawaii, the west coast and southern tip of the island — areas as much as 100 miles away from the volcano — tend to experience poor air quality during an active eruption, a phenomenon Zondlo's group sought to document in detail. Remarkably, in mid-August the west side of the island enjoyed some of its cleanest air in a decade, providing a baseline to inform the lab's analysis, Zondlo said.
Now, the team is working to integrate its mobile sampling data with information from ground stations and satellite images. They plan to create a map of air quality gradients under each wind condition to better understand pollution levels based on the data available during the eruption in May, June and July.
"Every data set has its unique challenges and advantages, and if you can take the best of all of them you get a much more complete and accurate picture," said Zondlo.
Through his connection with NASA's Applied Science Program, Zondlo will present his lab's findings to air quality and public health agencies. With high-resolution maps of air quality, epidemiologists may be able to examine associations between pollution levels and hospital admissions for respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Previous studies have shown that elevated levels of fine particles, which often occurred on the Big Island during the eruption, negatively impact health, said Zondlo.
"The State of Hawaii Clean Air Branch has a fairly small air quality program relative to more populous states," explained Tom Moore, air quality program manager for the Western Regional Air Partnership, a consortium of 15 Western states that includes Hawaii. "The ability of experts like Mark and others to go out and make ground measurements, and then connect satellite and ground data — that very activity is important. It provides a kind of calibration point," added Moore, who helped facilitate project efforts through NASA's HAQAST program.
Ultimately, Zondlo hopes the conclusions from this project can help researchers and public officials use satellite data to better understand air quality during any volcanic eruption. He noted that at the same time as Kilauea was wreaking havoc on Hawaii, in early June a violent eruption of Guatemala's Fuego volcano killed at least 75 people and compromised air quality for thousands.
"Can this be expanded more generally to other volcanoes across the world?" asked Zondlo. While Hawaii's air quality monitoring network may be less than ideal, he said, it is better than networks in many parts of the globe. "We want to use satellites to help understand where and when people should be concerned during a volcanic eruption," he said.

Podcasting Advice From A Bad Role Model (And A Good One)
This chick walked in the room with silver and turquoise rings on every finger. Her jeans were so tight, they looked like they'd been painted on.
She wore heavy makeup and her eyeshadow was so dark and dense, I wondered to myself how she got it off…or if it even came off.
Every morning, she arrived on the back of a Harley-Davidson driven by her husband. She had dark, tanned skin that looked like a leather sofa. If she was 35, I wouldn't have been surprised, but she looked at least 50.
Her name was Tammy and she was working an administrative job for a company I was doing marketing for. I didn't belong there and neither did she. Because of this, we quickly became friends.
What Would "Tammy the Biker Chick" Do?
Do you remember GiveIt100? It was a cool concept -- a site that encouraged people to do something new for 100 days and post daily update videos.
GiveIt100 had a problem with people acting like dicks. And because of this, they allowed users to block those people.
Here's the email they sent when the "block" feature was announced:
Today we are releasing two features we wish weren't necessary: block user and report comment.
Unfortunately, there have been a handful of unwanted comments this week, and a few members have emailed us requesting to be able to block people who have made them feel uncomfortable. Starting today, you'll be able to do that.
It takes a lot of courage to put yourself - videos of yourself - on the internet. It takes even more courage to share videos of yourself when you're not at your best. But that's what GiveIt100 is about. This is where you share not just your victories - but also your bloopers, the days when you're not feeling so hot. We're all works in progress.
The internet can be a pretty scary and hateful place. If you put yourself on YouTube, be prepared to be skewered in the comments. It's easy to criticize others from behind the computer keyboard. It's hard to be the one putting yourself out there - opening your work and your dreams to the internet.
We want this to be a safe place, where you don't have to worry about any of that.
We have just one rule: GiveIt100 is a place for positive comments only.
Here's a test: will your comment make the other person feel good?
If not, best to keep it to yourself. And if you see negative comments on other's videos, please let us know by clicking "report comment," and we'll take care of it.
Use your best judgement. Teasing among friends can be okay, for example. Constructive feedback is usually okay too, if it's phrased in a considerate way.
We have a suggestion too - if you get a supportive comment on one of your videos, try paying it forward. Don't feel shy about leaving a nice comment for a total stranger. It really can make a difference for them. When we talk to people who've made it through all 100 days, almost universally they say the GiveIt100 community helped them - especially when they felt like giving up.
Personally, I've received plenty of criticism, but I've also been fortunate to get a lot of encouragement.
When I first learned to dance, I asked my teacher: how good can I get in a year? "Really good," he said. "Okay," I told him. "I'll give it a shot."
He believed in me. So I practiced my butt off. And I learned to dance in a year. That video now has 4 million views and gave us the idea to make GiveIt100.
Surround yourself with people who believe in you. It makes all the difference.
The Double-Edged Sword Of Feedback
What GiveIt100 did works for a private community, but it doesn't work in the world that podcasters live in. If you want your podcast to be heard by as many people are possible, you can't isolate yourself from negative people.
But here's the good news about feedback and opinion:
Not all feedback is an attempt to demoralize you. A lot of feedback is helpful and good feedback will make you better.
Sure, there are dicks out there. And this is especially bad when people can get away with giving anonymous feedback. But don't let a few assholes keep you from getting your message out and helping people with it.
What "Tammy the Biker Chick" Would Do
Tammy was batshit crazy. By most accounts, she was a terrible role model. There was one thing she did right though -- she didn't try to be somebody else.
She was who she was. She didn't play the same game as everybody else or isolate herself in hope that nobody would say anything bad about her and how different she was. Instead, she jumped in fully, wherever she was, and didn't hold back.
She invited others into her world. Literally. On more than a few occasions, I spent time with her and her husband at biker bars and at their home.
Isolating yourself from certain people is one way of dealing with them, and it works for some situations, but isolation won't help you to reach a lot of people with your message.
Scarier Than Podcasting? Yes!
The irony of this story is one of the co-founders of GiveIt100, Karen X, got her start by publishing content in a world a lot scarier than podcasting -- she put her content on YouTube.
Videos like this one:
YouTube is cesspool of negative comments. It's the equivalent of a toxic waste dump. And Karen received plenty of negative comments.
But she also got comments like this one:
The biggest rewards in podcasting go to those who take the risks.
Today, Karen X runs Butterbar, a creative agency specializing in commercials and viral videos. She's worked with brands such as Microsoft, Beats By Dre, and Apple. She's appeared in viral videos with Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Serena Williams, and Nicki Minaj.
If she can do it, you can too. But you have to put your message out.
