Each race against the clock will be live steamed on British Cycling's Facebook page, (opens in new tab) with cameras at the finish.
The men will complete 25.9 miles, starting and finishing at the the Sandringham Estate, whilst the women and under-23s ride 16.5 miles.
The road race takes place on Sunday June 30, heading out of Norwich city centre for 125.2 miles in the men's race, and 83.5 in the women's.
You'll be able to catch the road races via British Cycling's Youtube channel. (opens in new tab)

Defending men's champion Connor Swift (Team Arkéa-Samsic) is down to take to the start line in the race, alongside Mark Cavendish (Team Dimension Data) and Hugh Carthy (EF Education First).
Other riders to look out for include 2016 winner Adam Blythe (Lotto Soudal), plus 2012 champion Ian Stannard (Team Ineos).
In the women's road race, reigning champion Jessica Roberts (Team Breeze) will be absent, as will four-time winner Lizzie Deignan (Trek-Segafredo).
The only previous winner listed to start alongside the women is Hannah Barnes (Canyon-SRAM), who won in Stockton in 2016. However, she'll face competition from Katie Archibald (Team HUUB), multiple Paralympic champion Dame Sarah Storey (Storey Racing) plus Olympic champion Elinor Barker (Drops).
In the time trial, again Barnes is a name to watch, as is sister and team mate Alice - who was second last year, plus Neah Evans (Team HUUB) who rounded off the podium in 2018.
The men's time trial features last year's second and third placed riders, Harry Tanfield and Alex Dowsett (both Katusha-Alpecin), whilst defending champ Geraint Thomas (Team Ineos) will be missing this one out as he recovers from his Tour de Suisse crash ahead of the Tour de France.

World Championship Soccer é um jogo eletrônico sendo um dos primeiros jogos liberados para o sistema Sega Mega Drive. É um jogo de futebol baseado no torneio Copa do Mundo FIFA de 1990, com 24 diferentes países jogáveis. O jogo foi lançado em um baixo preço de US$19,99 em 1989. Porque o jogo foi criado antes da queda do comunismo na União Soviética, URSS e Alemanha Ocidental são dois países selecionáveis que já não existem mais.

O jogo também foi conhecido por Sega Soccer ou World Cup Italia '90.

Foi durante três anos (de 1989 até 1992) o único jogo de futebol do Mega Drive.

Jogabilidade

O jogo apresenta uma perspectiva de cima para baixo (aérea) de uma versão simples de futebol (não há faltas, substituições ou estratégias).

Para iniciar um jogo, o jogador deve primeiro escolher qual o país que ele gostaria de ser. As equipes são classificadas numa escala de 1 a 5 (5 é a melhor) baseado em quatro diferentes atributos (Velocidade, Habilidade, Defesa e Goleiro).

Depois de escolhido o país do jogador, ele é enviado para escolher os atletas que irão iniciar a partida. Cada país possui 16 atletas, e o jogador deve escolher 11 atletas para iniciar a partida, sendo estes: 1 goleiro, 4 defensores, 4 meio-campistas e 2 atacantes. As habilidades dos atletas individualmente são classificadas em Velocidade (Speed), Força do chute (Kick), Desarme (Tackle) e Precisão (Accuracy).

As partidas, se terminarem empatadas, são decididas nos pênaltis. Exceto se a partida for da fase classificatória (de grupos) da Copa do Mundo.

Na Copa do Mundo e na versão amistosa para 1 jogador, a visão dos pênaltis é igual. Quando o jogador vai cobrar o pênalti, há a visão do batedor, com ampla visão do gol. Quando o jogador vai defender o pênalti, é dada a visão atrás do gol, para melhor visão de onde o computador vai cobrar o pênalti. Na versão para 2 jogadores, a visão é sempre do batedor, em todas as cobranças.

Há telas especiais para tiros de meta, cobranças de escanteio e na comemoração do gol.

Os goleiros durante a partida utilizam um boné da cor da camisa dos seus jogadores de linha (recurso utilizado no Great Soccer para o Master System). Nos pênaltis, inexplicavelmente, o boné não aparece.

A melhor equipe no jogo é o Brasil. Os jogos duram 90 "minutos", em que cada minuto do jogo é, na verdade igual a 6 segundos (portanto, 9 minutos em tempo real ao todo). Existem três faixas de áudio durante o jogo, escolhidos com base nas equipes que estão jogando.

Países jogáveis

There is a sharp rise in company reports of detrimental impacts from drought and other water-related issues, yet little change in the number of companies with board level oversight of water strategies and no increase in the number of corporations providing transparent water-related risk assessments to investors. These are some of the key findings in the 2012 CDP Water Disclosure report published today.
As a lead sponsor of CDP Water Disclosure and an investor in more than 7,000 companies worldwide, many of which rely on water, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) expects companies to disclose information on how they manage water-related risks.

Meanwhile a general took weapons destined for the front line and sold them to the UNITA rebel group, pocketing the money. This fascinating book illustrates how the fourteen countries of Francophone Africa "share not only what amounts to a colonial past, but also social, political, and economic linkages born of common and sometimes shared postindependence political experiences, plus a set of surprisingly resilient and durable ties to France itself" 2.

GWP and Partners Launch Working Paper on the Economics of Drought Preparedness
On 11 September 2019, GWP, together with the World Bank and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), launched a new working paper: "Framework for the Assessment of Benefits of Action/Cost of Inaction (BACI) for Drought Preparedness." The launch took place on the Drought Preparedness Day at the 14th UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD COP14), held in New Delhi, India.
The Drought Preparedness Day is an occasion to present and discuss the successes and challenges of current tools, methodologies and policies supporting drought preparedness. GWP was a co-organizer of the day and was speaking at several sessions.
Throughout the day, the achievements of the UNCCD Drought Initiative were showcased, as well as the important partnerships and frameworks such as the Global Framework on Water Scarcity in Agriculture (WASAG), the Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) and the UN-Water.
Assessing the BACI
In introducing the GWP/WMO/World Bank working paper Frederik Pischke, Senior Network Specialist of GWP explained that we need to "address the paradox if proactive drought risk management is socially and economically optimal compared with reactive crisis management, why is the shift from crisis to risk management for droughts happening so slowly? By helping practitioners make the economic case, the working paper provides a methodological framework to support this shift in practice."
The objective is to set out a framework to assess the BACI for drought mitigation and preparedness. It builds on the work accomplished under the collaboration between the joint GWP/WMO Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) and the World Bank, while also drawing on best practices from other agencies and related work streams. The paper emphasizes that there is an initial need for a conceptual framework for analyzing the BACI and argues that the framework should be systematic enough to allow for comparability across countries and contexts, with the option of being tailored as needed.
The document is a guide to those responsible for drought management to support them in making the economic case for integrated drought risk management. Its main audience is development practitioners, who are engaged with governments and are often the ones advocating for more proactive drought preparedness.
All-of-society engagement needed
Speaking at the launch event, GWP Chair Howard Bamsey said that "to protect and support the vulnerable, we will need an all-of-society engagement – with political leadership, solid science informing policy, an emphasis on the gender dimension, and finance coming together. Multi-stakeholder platforms have an important role to play here, ensuring that inequality does not get exacerbated and that political will can be turned into effective action."
At the same event, GWP's new Strategy for 2020-2025 – Mobilising for a Water Secure World – was also introduced. One of the strategy's strategic goals is to catalyse Climate Resilient Development with drought (and flood) management as a key component. More information on GWP's involvement in the UNCCD COP14.

He helped catch a suspected car burglar.
TAMPA – A Clearwater-based Coast Guardsman received the Citizen Appreciation Award on Thursday (Jan. 19) from the Tampa police for his help in catching a suspected car burglar in December.
Lt. Michael Klakring, an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter pilot working in the law enforcement intelligence division at Air Station Clearwater, received the award during a ceremony at the Tampa Police Department.
Police said that, about 5:49 a.m. Dec. 16, Klakring witnessed a car burglary suspect using a sledge hammer to break the rear window of a neighbor's car, enter the car and remove a computer printer.
Klakring said it was the first week he and his family moved into the Tampa neighborhood when he witnessed the crime and immediately notified police. He stayed on the phone with the police and followed the suspect down the street until officers arrived. He identified the suspect who was still holding the sledge hammer and the printer.
Police arrested the suspect. Officials said it was the fourth, and last, auto burglary in December in the neighborhood.
Klakring said, as a pilot, he is always aware and he attributes his work in the Coast Guard to his swift actions that day.

State govt's veggie ban not in the interest of the people: SUF
Gangtok, 11 Apr:
Sikkim United Front [SUF], a political party, has alleged that the people of Sikkim have been suffering due to the "wrong decisions and policies" of the State government with regard to the Organic Mission. The party stated that the decision of the government to ban import and sale of non-organic vegetables lacks farsightedness and is not in the interest of the people of Sikkim.
Addressing a press conference here today, SUF founder member, Tirtha Sharma, stated that even though people want to support the Organic Mission, non-organic vegetables from Siliguri were much more affordable.
"So the government should subsidize the organic produce so that the people of Sikkim can buy the organic vegetables at an affordable price," he said.
Stressing on the people's right to have the food of their choice, he added, "If the State government is really serious, then it should ban casinos, alcohol and lotteries which have been directly affecting the people of Sikkim."
He also pointed out that the State has been facing the present problem due to the wrong statistics on agricultural and horticultural production provided by the concerned officials of the State government.
On the same, he demanded that the State government take action against such officials who have misguided the government with wrong figures.
He added that the government should check the ground reality first.
He also raised fears over possible black-marketeering of non-organic produce owing to the strict vigilance in the State.
Another SUF founder member, Narendra Adhikari, expressed that the government's vegetable ban decision was welcome, but that the implementation was improper.
He stressed that if the government was really sincere, then the State should have lab-testing facilities to test the genuineness (organic nature) of the vegetables.
He informed that except for a cold storage established during NB Bhandari's government at Majhitar, there were no other cold storages in the State. On the same, the party demanded the government to establish more cold storages to store organic produce.
"If the State government is really sincere and serious about its vegetable ban then it should ban all non-organic vegetables from the outside and the markets of the State should have surplus amount of organic produce for the people of Sikkim," Mr Adhikari stated.
On the destruction of non-organic vegetables today, he stated that the step was inhuman and inappropriate when people in the different parts of the country are starving.

Agatha Chapman was born in England on 6 May 1907 and emigrated to Canada in 1918. She would later join the Montreal wing of the Canadian Civil Liberties Union. Chapman, who was working for the Bank of Canada when she was detained by the RCMP in 1946, played a relatively minor role in the conspiracy but had connections to almost everyone who was detained by the espionage commission. She is also notable for consistently arousing the ire of the commissioners by evading their questions. Chapman was later acquitted in court.
"Miss Chapman was born in England, May 6th, 1907, and came to Canada in 1918. She is a graduate of the University of British Columbia having obtained her Bachelor's Degree in commerce and subsequently in 1931 her Master's Degree. After some intermediate employment she entered the employ of the Bank of Canada in 1940. When testifying before us, while still on the staff of the Bank, she was on loan to the Bureau of Statistics.

Perfect storm brings swift end to 'no promo homo'
By: Ben Giles and Dillon Rosenblatt April 12, 2019
Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman and Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich were both crucial in helping repeal the "no promo homo" law.
Democrats swallowed a bitter pill in 1991.
The minority party was desperate to pass a law mandating HIV and AIDS education in Arizona schools. Officials feared that federal funding for sexual education would dry up if state officials couldn't show that state law required those courses.
Mandating HIV and AIDS education meant voting for the bill even with an amendment, offered by House Republicans, barring the promotion of a homosexual lifestyle and safe homosexual sex.
Sen. Lela Alston, a Phoenix Democrat who served in the chamber nearly three decades ago, voted for the bill. Lawmakers believed the underlying intent of the bill was too important not to pass, she said.
Democrats have spent the years since attempting to undo that provision, but have been stymied in the Republican-controlled House and Senate chambers at every turn.
A well-timed lawsuit and the combination of support from an unlikely pair – Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman, a Democrat, and Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican – prompted GOP legislative leaders to react swiftly and meaningfully to repeal what one Democratic lawmaker called a "black mark" in Arizona law.
By the morning of April 11, less than two weeks after a lawsuit challenged the so-called "no promo homo" law as unconstitutional, representatives and senators had approved a bill to repeal it. The House easily approved it by a 55-5 vote, while the measure cleared the Senate by a 19-10 vote.
Gov. Doug Ducey signed it as quickly as he could, thanking lawmakers for a bipartisan and "common sense solution."
Hoffman touched on a variety of topics in her first State of Education speech as superintendent, an address before the House Education Committee in February.
But it was a line dropped halfway through her speech that would set in motion the desire to finally repeal the law.
"A simple step we can take to help reduce discrimination and bullying for students is to repeal the "no promo homo" law," Hoffman told the committee.
Rep. T.J. Shope, who was on the dais that day, credited Hoffman's address for bringing the issue to his attention. The Coolidge Republican said he wasn't personally aware of the controversial provision until Hoffman mentioned it and he made a point to research the law himself.
That gave Shope a foundation to sponsor an amendment on April 10 to repeal the law.
But it wasn't until late March that the issue again arose in prominence. That's when two gay rights organizations, the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund and National Center for Lesbian Rights, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Equality Arizona and two gay students in federal court challenging the "no promo homo" law as unconstitutional.
The 1991 law prohibits the promotion of a homosexual lifestyle and safe homosexual sex.
The measure was controversial even as it was being voted on in June 1991, when a "heated floor debate… pitted conservatives against the rest of the House," according to Arizona Capitol Times archives.
The staunchest conservative Republicans may have opposed the measure, but it was ultimately approved with help from moderate Republicans and Democrats by a 32-22 vote in the House. The Senate then approved the changes as well, a decision Alston attributed to a desire to ensure Arizona was competitive when seeking federal grants for sexual education funding.
"We felt at that time that the overriding issue was the importance of getting the money for the HIV/AIDS education," Alston said.
The suit challenging the law named Hoffman in her official capacity as superintendent and the state Board of Education. That provided Hoffman an avenue to once again speak out against the law, and she swiftly expressed her opposition to spending state resources to defend a law she opposed.
Richie Taylor, Hoffman's communications director, said Hoffman's office was surprised at how quickly all the pieces came together to repeal the law.
"It was one or two lines in her State of Education speech and it got the most press coverage, so we thought anything we could do to help move this along would be a good thing for us to do," Taylor said.
FORCED ISSUE
Hoffman had drawn attention to an effort that historically fizzled at the Legislature, and she'd brought it to their doorstep. Democrats like Sen. Martin Quezada have made a near annual exercise of attempting to repeal the law.
Quezada, a Glendale Democrat, has sponsored such a bill for four consecutive years.
In a speech on the Senate floor April 11, Quezada credited the lawsuit and Brnovich for finally bringing this issue to the full attention of the Senate.
"We would not be here today if it were not a forced issue," Quezada said.
An April 9 letter from the Solicitor General's Office, declaring that Brnovich would not intervene and seek to defend the law, put the decision of defending the controversial provision solely in the hands of Republican legislative leaders.
That letter "broke the dam" at the Legislature, Taylor said.
Repealing the law had been an unpopular prospect before. Even in expressing support for its repeal, the Center for Arizona Policy, a powerful Christian lobbying group, argued the law was being misconstrued.
CAP President Cathi Herrod announced her support for repeal, but also criticized the lawsuit as reading more like a "political statement" than a legal argument.
Herrod said the most important part of the law, its primary intent, is that AIDS education is age appropriate and medically accurate.
"It's noteworthy that the law requires parents be notified about AIDS instruction and also provides information about the curriculum, so a parent will have the opportunity to opt their students out of any AIDS instruction if they so choose," Herrod said.
Sen. Eddie Farnsworth, R-Gilbert, said that the measure was never intended to be discriminatory, but was simply reflective of "the actual facts of HIV is disproportionately spread" in the gay community.
Taylor said efforts to downplay the significance of the "no promo homo" language in statute miss the point.
"On the ground, in the classroom, and among students and teachers, this law had an effect of silencing and marginalizing LGBTQ students and families because people misunderstood what the law meant," Taylor said. "Anyone who disagrees with that is not looking at reality."
WHAT IS JUSTICE?
That's why it was important for Quezada that the Legislature repeal the law, rather than defend it in a losing battle in court.
"If the lawsuit played itself out, they would've found it unconstitutional, but the law would've stayed there. It would've been a black mark on our statutes," Quezada said.
Were it not for Brnovich, the law may still be on the books today, he added.
The letter from Solicitor General Oramel H. Skinner made waves at the Capitol declaring that the Attorney General's Office won't independently intervene in the "no promo homo" lawsuit.
Brnovich spokesman Ryan Anderson said the letter "speaks for itself in terms of our calculation as to whether or not the state would prevail." But for Brnovich, the calculus isn't simply whether or not the state would triumph in court.
"When you're the attorney general in the state of Arizona, representing the people of Arizona, you don't necessarily measure success in terms of wins or losses," Anderson said. "I think there's a broader question of, what is justice? What is the right thing to do?"
The letter from the solicitor general helped spark an appetite at the Legislature to repeal the law, rather than defend it – following the previous announcement from Hoffman, who has no appetite to defend the law, and a possible vote by the Board of Education to back off as a defendant in the case.
Senate President Karen Fann, a Prescott Republican, said Brnovich must walk a fine line between advising and dictating to ensure that the Legislature's authority to intervene remains intact. Lawmakers are effectively the attorney general's clients, after all. "But I also appreciate the fact that he's coming up close to that line so that we have an indication of where we think he might go, and whether we have a legitimate case," Fann said.
To Fann, Brnovich's letter concerning the lawsuit was sending a clear message to lawmakers that they should avoid a losing battle over blatantly unconstitutional laws.
"Everybody can debate what has a chance and what doesn't," Fann said. "But if it doesn't, and we're not willing to pursue that, why are we wasting everybody's time?"
House Speaker Rusty Bowers, too, seemed to take the advice in stride, and unilaterally moved to repeal the law.
"It was just a perfect culmination" of opposition, Anderson said.

I am so happy this finally got done. My question: why is Cathi Herrod's opinion on this relevant? She is not an elected official. I am so tired of seeing her quoted in Arizona Capitol Times. She is not a de facto legislator, house speaker, senate president or governor. If you all would try expanding your rolodex and quit giving CAP so much free publicity the rest of us would surely appreciate it.

Critically-acclaimed author, M.G. Crisci, tells Museum audience why the Russian-American secret mission Project Zebra, remains one of WW2's last great untold stories.
Museum of the Albemarle Promotional Poster Promoting the Elizabeth City Event.
ELIZABETH CITY, NC. Elizabeth City's 23rd Annual Ghost Walk weekend celebrated the city's role in one of WW2's most controversial missions that for over 70 years.
The event, rated one of the South's top 20 Fall tourist attractions, recreated scenes from Crisci's best-selling book, Project Zebra, which chronicled how 300 Soviet air aces were brought to America and secretly trained to fly 185 giant amphibious warplanes—produced in Philadelphia—by a dozen hand-picked US Navy officers. At war's end, President Truman ordered the documents classified. They remained as such for the next 70 years. The prestigious Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, calls Crisci's book, "a sensitive retrospective of one of the last great untold stories of WW2."
M.G., told the sold-out audience in the City's Albermarle Museum auditorium, "Project Zebra turned out to be more than just a military mission; it was a model lesson in human behavior against all the odds. People from countries with different languages, customs, and traditions, holding incorrect stereotypes of the other, worked respectfully for mankind's common good. According to Soviet records, the huge (about the size of today's 737 jetliners) completed more than 2,000 missions without losing a single plane."
The opening slide from Crisci's multi-media museum presentation includes a rare historical photo of one of the planes and all 320 men who participated in the mission.
Despite the strained relations between the U.S. and Russia today, three members of the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. made a surprise appearance at the museum and subsequently visited the Arts Center, home to a bronze which commemorates the mission.

Starting Monday, February 27, 2017 the fire department's administrative offices will be located at 1600 Los Gamos Drive, Suite 345 for the duration of construction.
Fire Station #51 relocated to their new temporary location on July 12, 2017. This will house Engine 51 and (1) paramedic unit. In the summer of 2018, the Paramedic unit will transfer to the newly constructed Fire Station House #52 on 3rd Street.
Fire Station 52's fire and paramedic services has been relocated two blocks away, at 519 Fourth Street. This allowed us to maintain fast response times to the community, by continuing to use Fourth Street as the primary response route.
Demolition is complete! Construction is expected to last for about 14 months, starting in June 2017. After Fire Station 52 is rebuilt, fire and paramedic services will return to 210 3rd Street.
During the construction phase we will be temporarily locating Station 57's fire and paramedic services to Station 53 at 30 Joseph Court, just off of Redwood Highway near Eduardo's Restaurant.
Demolition of Fire Station 57 has been completed. Construction will begin June 1, 2017. The work is expected to be complete August 2018. After Fire Station 57 is rebuilt, fire and paramedic services will return to 3530 Civic Center Drive.


Should I Live With Roommates or Live Alone?
Is it best to live with roommates? Or is it best to live alone?
There's no right or wrong answer to this question—and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's a personal decision that all apartment dwellers are entitled to make, and your answer should depend on what you want at the time you're looking to rent.
If you need help deciding whether to live with a roommate, consider the common reasons why people choose one route over the other.
You won't be lonely: Even if you're not close with your roommate, having a roommate means having someone else around, so you won't have to feel lonely.
You'll gain convenience: Having a roommate adds convenience. For instance, if you have different schedules, a roommate can feed your pet or water the plants when you're not at home to do it. If you go out of town, your roommate can tell you about any important mail you receive.
You'll save money: When you have a roommate, you'll save money in several ways. First, you can rent a larger apartment that would give you both more room and more value. You'll also split utility bills and the cost of groceries, among other apartment expenses. Plus, if you or your roommate cooks (even if you do the basics), cooking for two (or three or more) normally saves money over cooking for just one.
You'll have help: With a roommate, you can split the chores needed to keep your apartment in shape. So, you won't have to be the one to do grocery shopping all the time. Or, if you become the designated grocery shopper, your roommate can take on other errands that you would normally have to do. Sharing errands helps lighten the load for both of you.
Many people appreciate the reasons in favor of having a roommate but feel that the reasons for living alone present a much stronger case.
You want more privacy: If you live alone, you'll almost certainly have more privacy than if you live with others. Simply stated, not having roommates means you can do what you want when you want it. For instance, you can have guests over as you please or get home late and leave early without having to worry about disturbing a roommate.
You don't want to risk problems: Although having a roommate can be a rewarding experience, there are many types of problems that may arise in a roommate relationship. These range from lifestyle conflicts (think of a roommate who likes to play guitar while you need peace and quiet to study or do work) to financial issues (think of a roommate who has trouble paying their share of the rent and expenses). Living alone is the only way to guarantee that none of these problems ever arises.


Pip realizes he isn't in love with Estella the person, and that maybe the love isn't good for him self. But still, he loves her.
Pip thoroughly believes that his benefactor is Miss Havisham, and that she is helping him so that he can marry Estella. However, this is probably a subject of Pip's unhealthy obsession with Estella.
Pip's world is crashing in around him, as he realizes it's not Miss Havisham's elicit plan to have Pip marry Estella. This leads him to begin to regret the bridges he burned cutting off his friends and family from his new life.
The Convict seems to be the only generous person in the story, and he tries to start off on a good foot with Pip; he tries to treat Pip like a lost son/friend. Pip, however, doesn't return the sentiment, as he doesn't value anyone who doesn't fit into his version of his future.
Love is a risky business; it can make you burn bridges and change yourself; it can be the best experience of your life, but in the end you may end up hating it.
At the end of the section, Pip meets his long-time benefactor, the Convict. Up until this point, Pip has had a vision in his mind of Miss Havisham having him and Estella married. This discovery brings that world crashing down around him, which makes him reject the Convict and regret all the bridges he burned with Joe and Biddy.

The Scope of Support
March 2, 2015 |By Lindsay Mack|St. Charles Avenue March 2015
It is hard to believe that the Youth Empowerment Project is only 11 years old. Curious as to how the organization has made such great strides in a relatively short time, I asked Melissa Sawyer, YEP's Executive Director and one of its founders, to tell me about its early days. Sawyer, along with two of her colleagues, conceived of YEP in the course of their work at the Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana. Its initial mission, which has significantly broadened since its inception, was to provide support to kids who were trying to find their way forward after getting into trouble and, consequently, entering the juvenile justice system.
The national statistics on recidivism among young people in this country are alarming; New Orleans, unfortunately, is no exception. And then there's the question of safety. As difficult as it is to imagine, some of the kids who ended up in juvenile correctional facilities were safer there than they were on the streets, and YEP's founders lost many young people who became victims of violent crime upon their release from incarceration. It was in the face of that reality that the Youth Empowerment Project was founded in 2004, as the first program in Louisiana to support children exiting from jail.
The scope of YEP's services is impressive; it has an annual budget of over $3 million, serves more than 1,000 young people, operates eight different programs and has seven sites throughout the New Orleans area. But what those numbers, as compelling as they are, don't necessarily convey is that YEP has likely saved the lives of some of those kids – and has profoundly changed the lives of many more.
The vast majority of young people who participate in YEP's programs come on their own volition, although this isn't always the case. One of the organization's most inspiring stories begins with a young man who, not that long ago, was facing jail time. Ordered by a judge to either go to jail or enter YEP's NOPLAY program (New Orleans Providing Literacy to All Youth) to get his GED, he chose YEP. After successfully reaching his educational goals, he found that he was in a unique position to help others do the same. This man is now a full time YEP staff member who supports other young people to make positive life choices and attain their goals, and he has become a vocal advocate for underserved youth.
There are many components that help to explain the success of YEP. The critical ingredient, however, seems to be its underlying premise that, with the proper support and opportunities, young people – even those who are most at-risk for adverse life outcomes – can change the course of their lives. And that's how YEP is making a difference.

3F Group glides into aerospace & defence; to invest ₹500 crore
By 3f_admin on August 15, 2018
The $600-million Hyderabad-based 3F Group has diversified into aerospace and defence. It plans to invest about ₹500 crore to set up assembly facilities for unmanned aerial systems and composite materials.
3F Advanced Systems, the newly created division, has teamed up with European major SaaB-UMS to showcase the UMS Skeldar V-200 VTOL (vertical take-off and launch) remotely piloted aerial systems, at the Benguluru Aero Show next month.
Ashiis Goenka, MD of 3F Advanced Systems, said: "As fourth generation entrepreneurs, we have forayed into the aerospace and defence sector and chosen to work on unmanned aerial systems useful for surveillance in defence and civil applications."
"After finalising our engagements with the European companies, we are looking at setting up an assembly/manufacturing base in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. We plan to invest about ₹500 crore in the aerospace sector over the next five years and the funding will be through internal accruals and debt," he told BusinessLine.
Backward integration
Recalling that the group has been in the oil manufacturing business for the past five decades, he said: "We have efficiently implemented backward integration projects extending up to the farm sector, commodity trading and biogas plants. We understand the long-term cycle of business and are willing to tap the latent potential of the aerospace sector."
3F has tied up with Saab-UMS and an Israeli company for composite materials used in defence applications.
"We are in the process of identifying sites to set up a manufacturing unit, which will enable us to integrate the aerial system and thereafter focus on after-sales service," said Goenka. "Apart from being an integrator, we will gradually develop a supply chain in India for support services."
Since 1962, the 3F Group has set up several manufacturing units in India and abroad and has a joint venture with Fuji of Japan to set up a food processing unit near Hyderabad, said Goenka, who holds a degree in chemical engineering from Purdue University. "These tie-ups with European OEMs will provide the right platform for our manufacturing," he said.

Ross Fountain Restoration
West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, Scotland: Renewal Information
Ross Fountain Renewal News
Edinburgh engineering company was behind £2m restoration of Princes Street's Ross Fountain
A small but highly effective Scottish engineering and design company has been behind the recently accomplished restoration and renovation of the dramatic Ross Fountain in West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh.
The technical mastery of Edinburgh and Glasgow-based Applied Engineering Design (AED) underpinned the £2m transformation which was completed in May when the last statue was lowered onto the Victorian monument.
AED was responsible for the planning and building warrant applications as well as the design and civil and structural engineering for the project. It dealt with tunnels, foundations and spaces for the plant which makes the fountain work, as well as the stepped pools, central plinth and details such as waterproofing and site drainage.
The renovation, commissioned by the Ross Development Trust and supported by Edinburgh World Heritage, has brought the cast-iron edifice back to its former glory, with cherubs, mermaids, walrus and lion heads and four female figures representing science, arts, poetry and industry.
While the 122 separate pieces were restored by a Wigan-based specialist, AED planned a new access tunnel and underground plant pace along with new supporting plinths and upstanding walls to hold 100 tons of water as it pours over 60 tons of cast iron.
Tim Hetherington, Director of AED, said: "The Ross Fountain is a remarkable work of art and it was a very complicated project. The fountain is like an iceberg – while it is spectacular to look at up above, there is a great deal more going on down below."
Mr Hetherington said that AED first became involved with the fountain in 2013 when it was asked to undertake a feasibility study regarding stabilisation. Then in 2016 it was asked to undertake the foundation and technical requirements of the restoration.
The monument, sculpted by Jean Baptiste Jules Klagmann, was cast in a French foundry for the Great Exhibition in London in 1862. It was spotted by Edinburgh gun maker Daniel Ross who bequeathed it to the city.
The project added a new facet to the AED portfolio. Mr Hetherington said: "It was a most unusual, not to say unique project. We certainly now are among the few experts in the country in the intricacies of restoring Victorian fountains.
"The contractor, Kelsen Technical, performed flawlessly and client Norman Springford, formerly of Apex hotels and the RossFountain Trust, deserves great credit for driving the project forward."
AED was founded in 2008 and now has offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Bath. It has a turnover of £650,000 and employs 10 people. It undertakes most of its detailed design and coordination work in house.
The company serves individuals and businesses in sectors including industry and commerce, sport and education, infrastructure and property maintenance.

I'm baking my way through Monday afternoon after browsing The Healthy Happy Wife this morning. Her blog is filled with ideas and looks particularly great for gluten, sugar and dairy free sweet treats. The 'No Bake Chocolate Bars' were top of my list and I'm itching to try them once I have left them long enough to set in the fridge.
I also then added 1/4 cup of dried apricots cut into tiny chunks - sultanas or other dried fruit would work too!
Add the agave, coconut oil and cacao to a non-stick pan on a low heat.
Let it boil and stir continuously for a minute.
Add the other ingredients to the mixture and stir until evenly covered.
Poor into a lined or greased tin and allow to cool.
Place in the fridge to harden and then cut into desired size squares.
And these age beautifully so make a batch and keep them in the fridge to enjoy as a snack over the next week or so!

Aspen Lakes Golf Course is very much a family affair. In the late 1980s, after purchasing a 1,000-acre property adjacent to their farm in Deschutes County, the Cyrus family then set about building an 18-hole layout, under the supervision of architect William Overdorf.
Family members were hands on during construction; staking the ground, operating the earth-moving equipment, clearing and ditching then seeding the fairways. "Sand" for the bunkers was sourced from the Cyrus property, with eco-friendly crushed red cinders used to fill the hazards.
Aspen Lakes isn't like the high desert courses found locally as it's essentially a tree-lined parkland track with creeks, ponds and lakes incorporated into the routing. Built on rolling terrain, the fairways – many of them doglegged – are set in a beautiful location with a fabulous mountain backdrop.
The 450-yard 11th ("Faith") is regarded as the signature hole here, wrapping itself around a rather intimidating lake which sits on the left side of a fairway that leads to a two-tiered putting surface – it doesn't rate as the strongest hole on the stroke index but golfers who underestimate it do so at their peril.
There's little doubt in my mind Bend is one of the best summer locations in all of America. The centrally located Oregon has warm days and cool nights and the clarity of the sky come to life in a big time way when the stars illuminate at night. There's a range of outdoor activities with golf part of the offerings. Aspen Lakes is a fine choice for those wanting to get some golf in without spending a fortune to do so.
There's nothing compelling that really stands apart in a meaningful way. The outward half is fairly ordinary, however, the inward half really picks up the pace with a much greater variety of holes and a better routing provided. From the 14th hole to the concluding 18th -- be sure to have your game ready. The ending clearly provides a worthy climax.


Yesterday was the last day of October: Unprocessed. We made it!!
First, I'd like to thank everyone who participated. I'm thrilled, humbled, and incredibly grateful at the outpouring of interest and support this little experiment has generated. By the end of the month, 415 people had signed the pledge and we shared 41 fantastic guest posts!
I certainly hope that you got at least as much as I did out of this project. Although my eating habits didn't change all that much this month, I really started noticing just how many chemicals are sneaked (snuck?) into packaged foods. I had to eliminate everything with preservatives, natural & artificial flavors, xanthan gum (which is a very common ingredient, it turns out), soy lecithin (the emulsifier used in the vast majority of commercially-produced chocolate), vital wheat gluten, lactase enzyme (more on this in an upcoming guest post), and of course the many numbered food dyes.
Similar to my reasons for not eating high fructose corn syrup, though, I found that by eliminating these individual ingredients, it helped me say "no" to a variety of foods that might not be so good for me.
Then again, it also forced me to skip a handful of foods that I think are good for me! After a fair amount of deliberation, Matty and I decided that vital wheat gluten would be an exception this month, because the products we found it in were good for us overall (seitan, some 100% whole wheat breads) — so that became one of our exceptions, and will continue to be. Likewise, store-bought tofu is usually made with calcium sulfate as the coagulant. Although, strictly speaking, calcium sulfate might not pass the Kitchen Test, it's not "bad" for us (and actually boosts the calcium content of the tofu). Instead of eliminating a healthful food, we decided to make an exception and continue to eat tofu this month.
So my big "takeaway" is that I will continue to read ingredient lists diligently (I've become a bit compulsive about it, I must admit) — and anytime I encounter an ingredient I don't know, I'll research it and do my best to determine if it's a good, bad, or neutral thing to be putting in my body. Then I'll consider the benefits of the food as a whole, and make a final determination.
Although that sounds awfully geeky and time-consuming, in reality it's not that big of a deal. We tend to buy the same foods in our grocery store, and repeat many of the same meals (most people make or eat the same ten or so meals over and over again). So once we find a loaf of store-bought bread that we like (Ezekiel, some Trader Joe's brand loaves), we can just grab those off the shelf and toss them in our cart as we shop.
I prefer to think of today as a beginning rather than an ending. Throughout this entire month, the farewell in Tony Kushner's Angels in America has been echoing inside my head. Although perhaps a different context, I can't shake the idea that, fundamentally, what we're doing here is the same.
Let's continue to work together to enjoy real food and the benefits it brings. Let's change the world. More life. The great work begins.
Since this was my first time "hosting" such a challenge, I'd love to get some feedback. Maybe we'll do this every October? Maybe we'll do it twice a year? I've put together a short survey, and I'd really appreciate it if you took just a few minutes to share your personal experience, thoughts on the project, and any other feedback or ideas you might have.
I'll take your comments very seriously, of course, and perhaps I'll compile some of them and share them in a later post (with your permission, of course).
I still have a handful of guest posts that I was not able to squeeze into the schedule — so I'll be sharing them throughout the month. I've also connected with several food producers who have agreed to sponsor some giveaways, so stay tuned for some upcoming freebies later this month!
In addition to the survey, please feel free to share your thoughts here in the comments! Also, if you've written a post about October: Unprocessed on your own blog, please post the link in the comments.
I took the pledge on 11/01 after reading about it that morning but found that it ended up being more difficult than expected. I did chronicle some of my successes and failures here but I will be continuing my pursuit of eating more unprocessed all the time.
Absolute Bravo! To all of you!! It is hard to defy the marketing prowess and sheer presence of processed foods as we try to oblige the needs of our bodies. There is no rule book, nor person I can think of that has all the answers (except maybe our great grandparents). I wish we would have seen your post before we missed it, thank you for your hard work!
Thanks for your kudos and insight. Don't feel too bad that you missed October — you can certainly do this on your own. Better yet, find a couple of like-minded friends, and do it together! That makes all the difference. Let us know how you go!
Thanks I participated in your challenge and it changed my life… I have always been fit and healthy until 4 years ago when I became very ill, I gained over 20kg in 2 years and hadnt changed a thing about my lifestyle. It turned out I had an adrenal tumor and after very risky surgery had it removed, but the weight didnt shift. A switch to unprocessed and Im nearly back to my original weight. It inspired me so much I have gone on to study some nutrition as well as becoming a Personal Trainer/Health Coach. Clean Eating/Unprocessed is my main focus with my clients and I love being able to direct them to your page for recipe ideas… thanks so much for helping to set me on a whole new life path.


Somerset residents will have an extra seven weeks to share their views on the County Council's proposals for its libraries.
The closing date for the consultation has been extended from Sunday 22 April to Wednesday 13 June after listening to feedback from the public, partners, Councillors and communities.
Councillor David Hall, Cabinet Member for Resources and Economic Development at Somerset County Council, made the decision today to give communities more time to help plan for the possible future delivery of library services.
In response to a number of requests, further information on what a 'Community Library Partnership' and 'Library Outreach Services' could mean for library users is also now available, the questionnaire updated and based on the library respondents visit most often (rather than an area), and extra detail added to the proposals.
Following today's decision, the additional information and updated questionnaire will be available online at www.somerset.gov.uk/librariesconsultation and in all Somerset libraries from Wednesday 21 March.
Cllr David Hall said: "Thank you to all those who have responded so far – that feedback has been recorded and will be taken into account.
"It's important to us and it's important to you that we make our library service sustainable for the future. You said you wanted more time to consider the proposals, more information and we have listened.
All responses to the consultation submitted before Wednesday 21 March will be fully considered by decision makers, but those who have already shared their views are encouraged to review the additional information online at www.somerset.gov.uk/librariesconsultation and in any Somerset library.
If you have any further comments you'd like to make after reviewing this supplementary information, please email librariesmail@somerset.gov.uk. Alternatively, write to Libraries Consultation 2018, B3S, County Hall, Taunton, TA1 4DY or contact Somerset Direct on 0300 123 2224.
Starting at the end of January, the library services consultation asks members of the public to review an area proposal based on the library they visit most often.
In total, nine area proposals are available to view covering proposals for each of Somerset's 34 libraries.
The proposals show that for 12 libraries, there will be no change to the delivery of library services. These libraries include Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, Chard, Frome, Glastonbury, Langport, Minehead, Taunton, Wells, Williton, Wincanton and Yeovil.
For 15 libraries, community support may be required to keep library buildings open. These include Bishops Lydeard, Bruton, Castle Cary, Highbridge, Milborne Port, Nether Stowey, North Petherton, Porlock, Priorswood (Taunton), Somerton,South Petherton, Street, Sunningdale (Yeovil), Watchet and Wiveliscombe.
The proposals also highlight that seven library buildings may remain unchanged or may require community support to remain open. These include Cheddar, Crewkerne, Dulverton, Ilminster, Martock, Shepton Mallet and Wellington.

Retargeting – also known as remarketing – is used by most professional marketers. But innovation in the field has been slow and frustrations with sloppy methods are prevalent.
The major flaw of most retargeting strategies is that they assume all website traffic that has not yet converted should be targeted. Anyone who regularly uses the internet knows this is not appropriate. Often, we're just browsing. Other times, a product or brand simply wasn't the right fit for us. Spending budgets on targeting these types of customers is hugely wasteful – and can also have a detrimental effect on a brand's reputation.
Making a little more effort to retarget in an intelligent way is a win-win situation for both travel sellers and customers. Find out more about our AI-driven approach to intelligent retargeting.


The Prime Minister recently brought her Cabinet together for a mini-retreat at her country residence, Chequers. Without going into the results of that event, it did remind me that sometimes the only way to deal with a tricky strategic issue is to literally take everyone away together for a couple of days. Not quite lock them in a room, but you get the idea!
The ideal venue for your strategy retreat is rural, comfortable and high quality, with a good meeting room and social spaces. If at all possible it also has poor wifi and mobile phone signals! You want as few distractions as possible. Even better you want the place to yourself so that you can manage those distractions. You won't find many conference venues in the UK that can deliver that kind of intimate and focused environment. For small groups of between 16 and 50 there is a new trend for party houses, which are big houses in beautiful locations, that can be used for business events or family celebrations.
Spend time in advance working out exactly what you want to get out of the event and putting together an agenda that will deliver on those objectives. Pace the agenda carefully with lots of breaks and lighter activities so that delegates are able to make the most of the focused sessions.
Start each session with a warm-up. Get everyone moving their body or working on a light-hearted challenge, while being careful to keep it on the right side of cheesy.
Creativity can be much more productive than linear approaches. Think how you can make serious discussions more creative to bring out deeper, often subconscious, thinking. For example, if you're working out a new vision for the company – maybe you could draw a 'rich picture' together, or make sculptures or come up with a metaphor for the business. A creative lense will often reveal new insights that you don't spot when you approach those things in more traditional debates or conversations.
A strategy retreat is hard mental work. And a healthy body is essential for a healthy mind. So don't slow everyone down with fatty and sugary food, have a menu that is healthy and healthy snacks and fresh water on the tables. You can also fit in some country walks or exercise sessions. They are both good for clear thinking and the bonding that is so important for effective team working.
The strategy retreat is a great time to acknowledge and thank everyone for their contribution over the previous period. Make it public. You could run a mini awards session acknowledging everyone's unique contribution.
If you follow those tips you will get a lot out of the strategy retreat. But don't think it's over at goodbye. The real work starts with implementation – and then of course the review, when you get together again next year!


Benchmarks: Far Cry 2, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
The Call of Duty World at War results were very competitive at 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 as the GeForce GTX 275 was just 4% faster. This is equivalent to just 2fps at 1680x1050 and 3fps at 1920x1200, given we are looking at average frame rates above 70fps, it is close enough to call it even.
The 2560x1600 results are more surprising, as the Radeon HD 4890 which carries more memory on-board was 16% slower than the GTX 275. This worked out to be a ~9fps difference, which is more critical when looking at average frame rates around 50fps and below.
When testing Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts with the highest possible in-game quality settings, the results look to favor the GeForce GTX 275. The Radeon HD 4890 was 26% slower at 1680x1050, and things did not improve much at higher resolutions, trailing the GeForce GTX 275 by a 22% margin at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600.
These particular settings tend to favor Nvidia-based graphics cards, but we use them because they are the best image quality settings for this particular title.


I ended up deciding to go join the Polyount BRAWL instead of Dominance War this year. At first I was a little dubious about the theme, but when I had the idea to redesign Mitsurugi from Soul Caliber as a viking things started to get a a lot more fun. I still need to push my concept further away from the original, but so far I'm happy with the direction I'm going.


Parts I ordered were cheaper and match the original part. I am going to use your company again in mu future purchase... Thanks.
Better quality than what broke! Partsgeek is a great place to get the parts you need. I have place several orders and prompt service and delivery is great.
Delivery was quick and communication excellent. Part was everything promised, works great and saved me a lot compared with price from the Toyota dealer. I installed it myself without instructions. Took me about 60min to remove the old one but did it a second time in <20min after figuring out there are two access holes to facilitate removing the nuts using a ratchet with an extension and how to release the clips that hold on the trim plate.
Loved the price of the part, quality was great as well, part is exactly what was needed, minus the cable. I wish it would have recommended the cable as a necessary item as well, being I have never had to replace this before so I didn't know that a cable was needed. Hopefully the cable is available as well from PartsGeek. Only downfall, was the shipping, it took a LOT longer than anticipated. Coming back to look for the cable now. Hopefully soon my Sequoia tailgate will be working once again! :) Thank you!

While Developing and Emerging countries are characterized generally by lower income levels than Developed Countries their rate of growth is higher, sometimes substantially higher. If the higher growth rates of the Developing and Emerging countries can be maintained this can give rise to a reordering of rankings.
In a study of long-term global growth prospects the OECD conclude:
'Over the next half century, the un-weighted average of GDP per capita, is predicted to grow by roughly 3% annually in the non-OECD area, as against 1.7% in the OECD area. As a result, by 2060 GDP per capita of the currently poorest economies will more than quadruple (in 2005 PPP terms), whereas it will only double in the richest economies. China and India will experience more than a seven-fold increase of their income per capita by 2060'.
About 1,000 years ago the economic centre of the world was in Central Asia, when it accounted for 2/3 of the world's wealth (Professor Joseph Cheng 2013). By 1900 the industrial revolution had moved the economic centre to Northern Europe. By 1980 growth in the US shifted the economic centre to the Mid-Atlantic. By 2008 the economic centre had moved to the east of Helsinki, reflecting the rise of China and East Asia. By 2025 it could have shifted back to Central Asia (McKinsey Global Institute 2013).

Kimmel Cultural Campus Teams Up with Taller For Holiday Outreach
Randy Schmid
PHILADELPHIA - The Kimmel Cultural Campus and The Philadelphia Orchestra announce 2021-22 season-long community partnership with Taller Puertorriqueño, Inc. (Taller) — a community-based cultural organization, known as El Corazón Cultural del Barrio (The Cultural Heart of Latino Philadelphia).
Taller serves to preserve, develop, and promote Puerto Rican arts and culture, grounded in the conviction that embracing one's cultural heritage is central to community empowerment. With a shared dedication to shaping young minds through arts education, both the Kimmel Cultural Campus and Taller will identify opportunities to join forces throughout the year.
As the first project in the year-long partnership, the Kimmel Cultural Campus and The Philadelphia Orchestra are participating in Taller Puertorriqueño's holiday outreach drive – encouraging its audiences to attend holiday performances bearing gifts, to benefit Taller's annual Three Kings Celebration on January 6, 2022. All donations will be distributed to local children, ages infant through 18, alongside live music and a parade, both happening at Taller. Labeled donation boxes will be in the Kimmel Cultural Campus' venues, including Kimmel Center, Academy of Music, and Merriam Theater, beginning Wednesday, December 1, 2021, through January 4, 2022. The full list of donation items is below.
The Kimmel Cultural Campus and The Philadelphia Orchestra are further supporting the work of Taller Puertorriqueño with a donation of $10,000 and tickets to Campus events for Taller staff, artists, students, and partners. Additional partnership activations include Taller student artwork on display at the Campus' Academy of Music; facilitation of cast appearances and master classes; and a show-related field trip for Taller students, including a pre-visit educational guide.
