This study examined individual branding efforts of marquee high school football prospects in the United States who had verified Twitter accounts. Specifically, this study investigated if top recruits who delayed public announcements of their college choice impacted their number of Twitter followers before and after they selected a specific school on National Signing Day, compared to recruits who committed early to one university long before National Signing Day. Results showed that recruits who may have attempted to increase their notoriety and Twitter followers by waiting to announce college choice are no more successful in doing so than those who commit to one school early. Further, uncommitted recruits generally did not have more followers than those who had been consistently committed to one school before signing day. Most prospects – regardless if they committed to a college long before or on National Signing Day – gained and did not lose Twitter followers over the entire examined period. This could be because sports fans on Twitter generally do not stop following athletes. It could also be that these fans found specific athletes interesting to follow and thus plan to continue doing so. (more…)

Michael P. Spino was born in New Jersey but has spent most of his adult years working in Atlanta, Georgia. He is an excellent track coach having coached at Georgia Tech and Life University. His teams have won many state and national championships. Recently he earned his doctoral degree at Lille2 University, Lille, France. Presently, he is teaching part-time at Georgia State University in Atlanta.
William F. Straub was born in Catskill, New York. He is a retired professor of kinesiology and sport psychology. He has published extensively in scholarly journals and now has a small private practice in sport psychology. He is a USOC certified sport psychology consultant. He received his PhD degree from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI and a Master's degree in clinical psychology from the new School for Social Research in NYC.
The purpose was to determine if Event Rehearsal Imagery (ERI) and Internal guided Imagery with Distractions (IGID) resulted in improvements in the running performance of college students. The participants (N = 74) were students at Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya. Cooper's 12 min run test was used to assess running performance. Following 8-weeks of training, findings indicated that there was a statistically significant difference (0.05 level) in running performance between the Event Rehearsal Imagery (n = 29), Event Rehearsal Imagery with Distractions (n = 16) and the Control group (n = 29). Overall, there was a significant mean difference in running among male (n = 47) and female (n = 27 participants).

Batacan is an Assistant Professor in Health Education at Idaho State University. Teri Peterson is an Assistant Professor in the College of Business at Idaho State University.
PURPOSE: To identify nutrition knowledge based on collegiate sport, where nutrition knowledge was lacking, and specific nutrition related concerns of collegiate athletes.
METHODS: The cross-sectional study evaluated responses to a 65-item written questionnaire. Participants (n=174; female=88, male=86) competed in 13 different NCAA sanctioned sports. Nutrition knowledge scores calculated from the number of nutrition knowledge questions correct then converted to a percent from the number of questions correctly answered. Frequencies, Chi-square, and t-tests were used to report and compare nutrition knowledge scores.
RESULTS: The mean nutrition knowledge score of participants was 56.4% ± 13.4%. Higher nutrition knowledge scores were associated with completion of a collegiate nutrition course (p = 0.015), participation in individual sports (p = 0.043), and citation of healthcare professionals as the primary source of nutrition information (p = 0.008). Forty-two percent reported nutrition concerns related to what and how to eat healthy.
CONCLUSIONS: Collegiate athletes lacked nutrition knowledge and expressed concerns surrounding what and how to eat healthy. Completion of a collegiate level nutrition course may benefit collegiate athletes, especially those that do not have access to a Registered Dietitian (RD).
APPLICATIONS IN SPORT: Collegiate athletes, athletic departments, and even universities all benefit from successful sports teams. Nutrition can be a big part of success and the use of a RD to educate athletes ensures appropriate nutrition knowledge is provided. For universities with financial constraints collegiate level nutrition courses and small group cooking classes taught by an RD may still benefit collegiate athletes.

The year of the Olympics is a special time for athletes everywhere. Health care professionals find it difficult to recognize a case of Chronic Fatigue of a former college track athlete who persisted on despite her infirmity to qualify for the Olympics. The patient had an acute onset of symptoms not consistent with any condition but general fatigue. Blood studies and additional tests indicated a fatigue syndrome consistent with that of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. She was placed on a specific nutritional program for four months and shortly afterward was back to long distance running.

The challenge of adjusting from secondary school to a new university setting and adapting to the dynamic systems of academic and athletic programs can be overwhelming. The supportive interaction between athletes and coaches may play a key role for academic success. These important considerations encouraged this study to examine the perceptions of varsity athletes toward the "football family" as a supportive academic environment. The intent of this study was to examine the influence of the "football family" – rookies, veterans, and coaches – on academic success. Phenomenological qualitative research was the approach employed to examine the perceptions of 12 first year university football student athletes at a Canadian university toward the "football family" as a supportive academic environment. The results indicated that the "football family" provided a supportive academic environment for the varsity football players. Specifically the results revealed that: (1) rookies share the most experiences with other football rookies at university, (2) rookies engaged academically with each other by going to class and working on academic projects together, (3) rookies vicariously learn from each others' mistakes, (4) veterans helped rookies with both athletics and academics, (5) veterans' experience provided unique learning opportunities than those gained from other rookies, (6) veterans acted as role models, (7) coaches were viewed as fatherly figures in the football family, (8) coaches have greater academic influence towards engagement than professors, and (9) coaches acted as life coaches pushing a family first, school second, football third mentality. It was concluded that the "football family" can provide a supportive academic environment for rookies adjusting to university.

Locklizard Document Security – secure document sharing with DRM
As the trend pushed towards work-from-home, a lot was at stake for companies and organizations, in terms of fortifying the security of sensitive materials and confidential documents shared over the internet. As the work expanded, the amount of data and document theft also rose, calling for a need for specialists in document security with DRM controls to control document access and use.
Locklizard provides document security solutions that are highly secure and built according to the client's needs, not the trends. This along with a pinch of innovation, latest technology, and made by a team of security industry professionals, makes them reliable and difficult to defeat.
The company has always been in the spotlight for providing best-in-class, feasible, and comprehensive solutions that have become a milestone in the information security industry, making them one of the dominant players when it comes to document protection.
Leading Security, reliability and Locklizard
Locklizard was launched in 2004, with a strong focus on IT security, DRM (digital rights management), document encryption, PKI, and copy protection, securing documents that organizations want to share securely or that Publishers want to sell securely.
The company is run by a group of information and document security specialists who have more than 70 years of combined experience in this field. Their management team was involved in the first file security software produced in the UK called Stoplock, used to protect business data on personal computers.
The senior management includes authors of ISO/IEC 17799 (formerly BS7799), who contributed to other national and international data security standards on data security methods and techniques, open trade messaging, and data management. They have provided data security advice to the European Commission, the UK Government, CESG, and a range of globally based Fortune 100 companies.
Locklizard provides strong document security for PDF documents, protecting them from unauthorized access and controlling how they can be used. They enable organizations to share PDF files securely, stop leakage, and protect documents that are sold (training courses, ebooks, reports, etc.) from piracy. To achieve this, they use a secure and transparent licensing control system, encryption and DRM controls to lock documents to devices and enforce how they can be used.
They bring expertise in the use and application of encryption technologies servicing the requirements of both publishers and internal company management, in enforcing appropriate controls over IPR, to prevent intellectual property theft.
The initial journey of Locklizard
The initial challenges faced by Locklizard and its team are persistent to this day, i.e., educating the market regarding security solutions that are being sold as secure. For example, PDF password protection, for instance, is considered secure but you have to share the password with the recipient, which then can be easily removed and shared without any protection.
Similarly, PDF permissions or restrictions provide no protection – they can be instantly removed using free online tools. Using a long and complex password so the PDF cannot be easily cracked is not the point – if one person has access then you cannot control who else does, or what they will do with it. Also, there are issues with transferring passwords securely and managing them.
Today, it is the move to secure data rooms and other cloud-based document protection solutions that advertise themselves as highly secure yet provide weak security. Users can share login credentials and use the same IP address to login via a proxy, you cannot prevent users from using screen-grabbing utilities to take high-quality screenshots, prevent printing to unprotected PDF files or lock documents to devices.
It is therefore easy for users to still share them. Also, all the protection code (JavaScript) is accessible in the browser, so it can be edited by a skilled user – and once one user knows how to do this they then share that information with others or provide a browser plugin or script that does it for them.
Many systems decrypt content on the server, making it even easier for users to circumvent so they serve content as images to provide some protection (i.e. preventing copying of text). There are so many weaknesses to such systems but unless you know a little about how security works you might easily believe the marketing hype.
With remote home working, remote training, etc. companies are now becoming more aware of how their intellectual property can be stolen and shared. But often until this happens, they stick with what they know best which is often password protection or web-based access controls.
This is where Locklizard and its team steps in to provide highly reliable and foolproof document security solutions that make sure that your documents and intellectual property are always secure and never fall into the wrong hands. They use the latest technology developed by an expert and highly experienced team, making sure your valuable business documents are always protected regardless of where they are located.
What establishes Locklizard and forms a pillar of their long-standing success?
They produce document security software that does what it says on the tin – basically it works as described with little implementation or support required.
If you want to share your documents securely or protect them from leakage or piracy then there are very few options available that provide this level of document security at this price point.
Locklizard provides great PDF security products that are secure, simple to implement, and that cost significantly less than weaker competitor offerings. To back their innovative and unrivaled service offerings, they offer industry-leading service and support.
Not only this, it is the long list of recurring and satisfied clients that trust their services and rely on them with their valuable documents and information. The client testimonials, respect in the industry, benchmark service, and support standards makes them highly sought after, making them one of the best and dominant players in the PDF security field.
Impeccable service offerings of Locklizard and distinguishing factors
Locklizard is a premier DRM supplier for publishers, enterprises, and governments, meeting and exceeding requirements for the finance, auditing, semiconductor, training, publishing, and analyst communities. Their PDF DRM software can be used straight out of the box so you are up and running straight away.
Locklizard has taken a different approach to document security by avoiding known security weaknesses and complex implementation. They use their in-house developed secure PDF Viewers – so they have full control over the environment and can enforce DRM controls at all times.
They don't use passwords since they can be easily shared or removed, or plugins (they break easily or can be circumvented). Document decryption is done in memory only – there are no temporary files for users to save and share. Key management is handled transparently by the licensing server and Viewer software, so there are no complex keys to generate, distribute, manage, or for users to remove or pass on to others.
Publishers protect documents on their computers and distribute protected PDFs just like any other file. There is no uploading of unprotected documents to servers where they could be compromised or viewed by others.
They lock documents to devices so they cannot be shared, and optionally to locations so you can control BYOD use. They prevent screen grabbing and printing to PDF files and other unprotected file formats. Their DRM controls are expansive and flexible – you protect a single file for all users, yet can control access and use on a user basis – so for example, you can have the same file expire at different times for different users or have dynamic watermarks that display a user's name, company and email address when the document is viewed and/or printed.
Offline documents contain the same level of security as online ones, and users can view protected PDF documents on a USB device or in a browser without having to install a Viewer.
They provide perpetual licenses for long-term use saving you thousands over competitor offerings. Their prices are for unlimited use – they don't charge per document or user.
All these factors and flexibility with a sense of complete trust and reliability with affordable and unmatched solutions make them best-in-class document security solution providers for PDF files.
How does Locklizard update its services in terms of changing trends and new additions?
Locklizard heavily emphasizes customer feedback and the team's inputs. If multiple customers would like a new feature added then that generally happens in a later release. This way they implement features that customers want rather than those that would be nice to have. Although the core set of features is decided by the company, the added features pushed via updates stem mainly from customer feedback.
They are working on new additions to their existing products in the pipeline including an updated Administration system with a new design and many extra features and additional PDF protection options in their Writer software and secure Viewers.
Flagbearer of Locklizard
An innovative, highly focused yet reliable company like Locklizard stems from solid core values intending to provide nothing but the best. This is held by the formidable and expert team of the company, dedicated to upholding its name and revolutionizing the industry with its innovative and unmatched services. Beyond this, it requires an exemplary leader, who holds the team together, and takes the company ahead into the future.
Steve Mathews, CEO of Locklizard
Steve has been in the IT security business for 31 years. Before Locklizard, he was involved with a company called ArticSoft which produced OpenPGP software, and before that, he had a long career with a company called PCSL which produced desktop security products and later PKI middleware.
Steve was one of the authors of ISO/IEC 17799 (formerly BS7799) amongst other international security standards and used to actively contribute to standards development including ISO/IEC JTC1/SC32. He has advised the European Commission on various security projects and was previously a CLAS consultant.
One of the major achievements of Steve's professional journey has been growing a company organically from scratch without seeking any investment. He also established a distributed workforce working effectively from home pre-Covid. This goes to show how formidable and visionary a leader Steve is, taking Locklizard, its team, and its services to a highly respected and leading place in the IT security industry.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
Steve's views on the responsibilities of an entrepreneur
I am not sure about responsibilities, but the key abilities would be to be flexible and able to adapt quickly – circumstances change and you need to be able to change with them. This can often be more readily achieved in a small company as the decision chain is much shorter.
The other ability you need is to be able to work hard. Being an entrepreneur is not a 9-5 job and you have to make sacrifices along the way – the business always comes first.
Steve's take on the competition in the market, and how he copes with it?
Over the years many companies have entered the document security space each offering a similar solution to the same problem. We have seen many come and go. With home working and remote training, document security has become more popular as a subject that needs to be addressed.
However, while competitor offerings may add confusion (it is often difficult for a layman to understand the differences, especially with solutions that all claim to do the same thing), we have stuck to producing products that work – as one customer quoted "they do what they say on the tin".
So, our product range is proven and resilient and I think that helps us in a crowded marketplace.
Is competition a motivating factor for Steve? What are his views on competition bringing out the best?
Yes, if the competition is moving into your space, then obviously you will seek to improve what you offer so that you can make the sale instead of them. We are continuously looking at ways to adapt to make sure anyone wanting to securely share PDF documents or who wants to protect PDF files from leakage or piracy thinks of Locklizard first.

Stand-up Suzi Ruffell started out intending to be an actress, taking a theatre course at Chichester College before going on to the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts, ALRA.
"The teaching was great in Chichester and I loved it, and I loved it at ALRA. But I was always interested in the comic roles, and it was only a couple of years after I left drama school that I realised that what I really wanted to do was comedy.
"Growing up my heroes were people like French & Saunders and Victoria Wood, and they were actors and comics, of course, but what they were first and foremost were comics.
And what if you find out that it wasn't funny?
Suzi goes out on tour this autumn as a double header with friend and fellow comic Tom Allen. They will come out together at the top of the show and toss a coin to see who does the first half and who does the second. Again, for Suzi, that's all part of the thrill of it all.
Suzi performs with Tom Allen at Brighton's Komedia on Saturday, November 12 (7.30pm).


We will be updating the world on our progress through our own Blog below with updates to our Official Facebook Page and Twitter, as well as through the Tall Ships blog.
This was an amazing day! First we had a half hour lie in and got up at the glorious time of 8am however some of the lads needed a little assistance getting up so it was time…time to bring out the Crazy Frog. After they had got up we had breakfast of bacon in a roll after the oven had smashed to pieces. L Once the crew was fuelled up it was time for the inter-boat challenge of the dingy race in which the teachers were fab…ish. We came first WHOO-RAAAHHHHHHH. We then chilled out on the boat in the glorious sun of Poole and took in those rays. Eventually we left port at 1pm and set sail, before we put the main sail up we got the harness out and climbed up the 92ft mast out at sea, the views were spectacular however some of the boys were too busy screaming to take in the views (don't want to name drop but one starts with A and ends in roon and the other starts with M and ends in oses ). Later on in the day we had an inter-boat race where we came second but we had a moral victory. We then dropped anchor outside of Cowes and had a dance off on deck where Watch Leader Georgia and Josh did the sardine and the jelly fish up and down the length of the boat, after that we ate lots of custard and ice-cream. Now we are off to get ready for the night sail… Apologies for the delay but having been anchored off shore we had no wi-fi. We are now safely docked in Portsmouth after a fantastic night crossing that was an awesomely chilled way to finish off the voyage.
As a final word we would also like to thank Julian, Amy, Gareth and Georgia for all their help, support, patience, guidance, humour and hard work. A massive thank you to them.
First we travelled from Peterborough train station and arrived at Gunwaugh Quays and got onto challenger 3. We were introduced to the skippers (Julian), mate (Amy) and Watchleaders (Georgia and Gareth). After being introduced we looked below deck and then on the deck we found the navigation section one of the most interesting bits of the boat. After this we then got our wet gear together as well as our lifejackets. By 1530 we had set off from Portsmouth and did a starboard and port runner race between to the two watches in which Georgia's watch won; no matter how much the other team say they had won. By 1800 we had arrived in East Cowes where our watch was in charge of making dinner- chicken Fajitas they were delicious! Josh. M washed up for the first time and wants his mum to know he is available for all washing duties upon his return. We then went for showers whilst the skippers, mates and more competent crew put up the new main sail ready for use tomorrow. We are all excited for a play in the water tomorrow.
Watch leader Georgia took it upon herself to wake up the boys with two baking trays (Josh and Aroon) after an 'interesting' night sleep! We then had breakfast which was scrambled egg and crumpets made by Team 2 Special… it was very tasty with Olivia's eggscellent cookery skills she learned in year 7. Next our morning chores included cleaning the downstairs cabins, winching up the sails, adjusting the ropes and setting up on deck. The weather was not so kind to us today giving us our first real experience of wind and rain at sea. The wind was so strong, Moses lost his footing and almost fell in! Lucky he had his safety cable attached! During the afternoon, Ryan, Cassidy, Aroon, Olivia and Denim took up the challenge of steering the boat. An unexpected gust of wind almost tipped us over :-( We then had to tackle lunch and Team 2 Special ended up looking paler than the pasties after washing up below deck as we continued through the choppy waters. After practicing 27 times the crew have become masters of the tack with a little energy left over for on-board ballet and whipping the cream for tonights Eton Mess. We then had some free time in 'exciting' Yarmouth. We had a chance to buy some biscuits (yippee!). We are looking forward to having fish and chips tomorrow in Poole.

If no one else signs up EVERY PERSON THAT SHOWS UP WILL HAVE TO RECEIVE A MINIMUM OF 2 ROUTES. I hate to do this but that will be the ONLY way to get all of the flags delivered.
Please follow the link below or send me an email to sign up to help.
The more people we have sign up (and show up) to help – the fewer flags each route will have.
Flag pick up is from 6 pm to 8 pm Wednesday, September 10th.
Flag drop off will be 9 am to 11 am Saturday, September 13th.
Thank you for all of your help with this fundraiser.
You will pick up a route(s) and the appropriate number of flags from storage. Once you arrive at your first address you will remove the flag from your vehicle, UNROLL it and place it in the sleeve at the flag tag on the curb.
Some new subscriptions may not have a sleeve and flag tag yet, these houses will require rebar be placed in the ground and the flag placed on the rebar.
When picking the flags back up, redo the route that you did when placing flags.
Pick up the flag out of the yard (get any rebar used as well). Please watch to see if the sleeve comes out – please notate any maintenance issues with the tag or sleeve on your sheet of paper.
Place the flag – flag first – in your vehicle.
You may roll and rubber band the flag when it is picked up or wait until you are back at storage.
Once all flags are picked up return them to storage, assist with putting the flags away and return your route packet(s).
come early to get the route you want – early bird gets the worm….
PLEASE RESPECT OUR NATIONS FLAG AND DO NOT ALLOW IT TO TOUCH OR DRAG THE GROUND.
Congratulations on another good halftime performance last Friday! We want to give a HUGE thank you to all the parent volunteers….our first away game was a great success thanks to all of your help!!!!!! Way to GO Mom and Dad!!!!!!!!!!
#1- Tuesday evening at 6:30pm is our first Booster club meeting. Let me encourage you to attend. At this meeting there is always very important information given about upcoming events. It is also your opportunity to sign up for volunteer hours, as well as meet the other parents. At this Booster c lub meeting there will be important information given about the Midwest Chicago trip, our upcoming Fundraiser event which is a contest that we run, very detailed information about the Spring Trip to Disney World. Yes, that's right, the War Eagle Band is headed to Disney World over spring break. The detailed trip packet is in Charms and you can download it a head of time. I will also have hard copies of the information at the Booster meeting and I will be going over the details of the trip. We hope to see all of you at the Booster club meeting.
Students named to the Varsity squad will continue to rehearse Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Thursdays. The JV squad will only be required to attend Thursday rehearsals beginning this week. JV members WILL NOT need to attend Tuesday/Wednesday rehearsals because those are the rehearsals we teach the contest show. ALL VARSITY/JV BAND MEMBERS will attend Thursday rehearsals to prepare for the Game Halftime performance. Again, let us emphasize the ALL band members (Varsity and JV) will perform at All football games, All contests, All pep rallies and All parades.
****you will need your garment bag.
Let's have a great week and remember…. Excellence is not the goal…it is where we BEGIN!
There may have been some confusion regarding the volunteer process with regards to Chaperone and/or Pit Crew. Volunteers are not picked and/or selected. Any parent / friend / relative over the age of 18 that has completed the Conroe ISD volunteer application and received approval can volunteer to help at any event posted in Charms. You must log in to your Charms account, select the volunteer drop down menu, and pick the event / date you wish to volunteer for.
This week we have an away game at Thorne Stadium vs. Aldine. We need several chaperone's this week to ensure we have adults on each bus. Please sign up! We need you!!


Overall it was a fun read. We do not stand in airports with guns, outside of clubs which we don't call disco- number three of the list that bothered me checking I.

We use this information to create a better experience for all users. But again, I had to explain some stuff. My dad didn't even say disco when he was a teen. I started reading this book knowing it will be a fun read about a book that's written from Americans perspective about Israel.
While I was reading this book I understood that the author didn't really know many things about Israel. Like-"hey, let's go to a party" not "hey let's disco" They alert us when OverDrive services are not working as expected.
Well I guess weirdos do, but it nur ein kleiner sommerflirt trailer addict never happens here. Sorry to burst you guys' bubble It took some time but I'm happy it happened.
We, soldires, are not, I repeat, are NOT bodyguards or work in any security company. But when you write a book you need to make sure you have all the right facts.
I am 19, which means that I am a soldier. We don't say disco anymore.
So before I tell you what I thought about the book I have to clarify some things that bothered me throughout the book. I can't wait to read the second book and see what happens to Amy when she's in the US. Performance and reliability cookies These cookies allow us to monitor OverDrive's performance and reliability.

D's and being called when there's a fight- That is for the police to take care of. Without these cookies, we can't provide services to you. About Israeli's and American's being together.
I really recommend this book. I hope Avi will be involved. I, actually, really liked it. While I was reading this book I understood that the Ok, before I start reviewing the book I have to say a couple of things a bout Israel.
So reading about soldiers being like bodyguards just had me wanting to explain to you all that it's not true. Maya, Mia, Noa, Dana, Natalie Research and analytics cookies These cookies help us understand user behavior within our services. I liked that she grew throughout the book.

State Budget 2020-21 housing initiatives
SA Housing Authority – Update
The State Budget 2020-21 released by Treasurer Rob Lucas included significant housing initiatives that are exciting for the housing and homelessness sector.
It includes investment of an additional $13.6 million over three years to help reduce homelessness in South Australia.
Each year, 60 rough sleepers with complex needs will be housed in new specialised and supported accommodation at a cost of $2.3 million. A portion of the Holbrooks public housing site at Brooklyn Park will be redeveloped with ongoing case management provided for tenants.
40 Aboriginal Elders at risk of homelessness will have access to new housing thanks to a $4 million grant provided to Aboriginal Community Housing Limited for the development of culturally appropriate accommodation in Bedford Park.
These initiatives build on the unprecedented efforts to house 250 South Australian rough sleepers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and provide them with ongoing support, through a $7.3 million funding injection.
The State Budget also includes $76 million for a Housing Construction Stimulus Package from the Community and Jobs Support Fund. This package is designed to support the sector after the HomeBuilder stimulus, and will include initiatives such as shared equity for new home construction and opportunities to promote community and affordable housing.
Other funding commitments include:
$10 million of planned public housing capital maintenance has been fast-tracked to boost the South Australian economy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has supported more than 160 jobs. Upgrades to 1,400 properties – including new kitchens and bathrooms, improvements to common areas, lighting and security, paving, painting and horticultural works – is almost complete.
$873,000 over two years to support Aboriginal people from remote communities in South Australia to remain safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, avoid homelessness or displacement during travel restrictions, and meet isolation requirements before returning to their home communities.
$32.9 million over four years to support a further 750 traineeships and apprenticeship places across a range of key areas, including housing construction
$1.1 million in 2020-21 for the Street to Home Program, providing a range of services for people sleeping rough in the inner city.
$3.8 million over four years for domestic violence measures including the continuation of the Domestic Violence Disclosure scheme, to ensure people who request information about a partner's criminal history have support from the specialist women's domestic violence service.
The Budget also included a range of grants and other initiatives to support communities recovering from the bushfires on Kangaroo Island and in the Adelaide Hills, including:
$52.8 million over two years for community-led economic recovery projects to support bushfire impacted communities in the Adelaide Hills and Kangaroo Island.
$45 million over four years for the Kangaroo Island bushfire recovery; clean up, replacement and repair of bushfire damaged state government assets on Kangaroo Island.

Americans United for Life: U.S. Senates Confirmation of Judge Hamilton to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Promotes an Avowed Judicial Activist
WASHINGTON (November 19, 2009) — Today, in a vote of 59-39, the U.S. Senate confirmed pro-abortion federal judge David Hamilton as an appellate court judge.
Americans United for Life President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest said, "Americans United for Life believes that judges should uphold Constitutional restrictions on abortion. As a District Court judge, Hamilton promoted his radical pro-abortion agenda. His promotion to the Seventh Circuit will give him jurisdiction over court cases addressing life issues from Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin which is of serious concern to the pro-life community."
For seven years, through a series of rulings in A Woman's Choice v. Newman, 904 F. Supp. 1434 (S.D. Ind. 1995), he blocked the enforcement of Indiana's informed consent law Public Law 187. Public Law 187 requires that women be given information about the procedure and other alternatives in person at least 18 hours before the abortion is performed. Reversing Judge Hamilton's rulings, the Court of Appeals noted the law was "materially identical to a law held valid by the Supreme Court in Casey, by this court in Karlin, and by the Fifth Circuit in Barnes." Judge Hamilton ignored clear precedent in favor of his own abortion agenda.

AUL spokespersons Dr. Charmaine Yoest (President and CEO) and Anna Franzonello (Staff Counsel) are available for interviews to discuss the confirmation of Judge Hamilton.
About Americans United for Life
Americans United for Life is the first national pro-life organization in America. In 1980, AUL successfully defended the Hyde Amendment before the U.S. Supreme Court in Harris v. McRae.

Yap eller Yapöarna är en ö, en ögrupp och en delstat i Mikronesiens federerade stater i västra Stilla havet.

Geografi

Yapön
Yapön (Yap-Island) är namnet på själva ön vilken ligger ca 1.200 km öster om Filippinerna. Geografiskt ligger ön bland de västra Karolinerna i Mikronesien. De geografiska koordinaterna är .

Yapöarna
Yapöarna (Yap-Proper) är ögruppen med huvudön Yap och övriga öar Gagil-Tomil, Maap och Rumung. Ögruppen omsluts av ett korallrev.

Yap state
Yap-State är delstaten som består av ca 145 öar och atoller med huvudområdet Yap-Proper och övriga större ögrupper (kallad "Outer Islands")
 Ngulu Islands, söder om huvudgruppen och övriga öster om huvudgruppen
 Ulithi Islands
 Fais Islands
 Sorol Atollen
 Eauripik Atollen
 Woleai Atollen
 Olimarao Islands
 Ifalik Atollen
 Faraulep Atollen
 Gaferut Atollen
 West Fayu Islands eller Piagailoe
 Elato Islands
 Pikelot Islands
 Lamotrek Atollen
 Satawal Islands

Öarna är korallöar och har en sammanlagd areal om ca 102 km². Den högsta höjden är på cirka 145 m ö.h.

Befolkningen i Yap-state uppgår till cirka 11.000 invånare där ca 70 % lever i Yap-proper. Huvudorten Colonia, där de flesta bor, ligger på huvudöns östra del.

Öns flygplats heter Yap International (flygplatskod "YAP") och ligger sydväst om Colonia.

Historia
Yapöarna har troligen bebotts sedan cirka 3000 f.Kr. De upptäcktes i januari 1528 av spanske kaptenen Álvaro de Saavedra.

Yap är känd för sin traditionella valuta Rai, stenpengarna som används som symboliska gåvor än idag.

Kejsardömet Tyskland köpte ögruppen från Spanien 1899 och den blev då del i Tyska Nya Guinea. Under första världskriget ockuperades området i oktober 1914 av Japan, som sedan erhöll förvaltningsmandat över området vid Versaillesfreden 1919.

Under andra världskriget användes ögruppen som flyg- och flottbas av Japan tills USA tog över området 1945.

1947 utsågs Yapöarna tillsammans med hela Karolineröarna till "US Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands" av Förenta nationerna och förvaltades av USA.

Den 10 maj 1979 bildades den autonoma federationen Mikronesien med lokalt självstyre och den 3 november 1986 blev landet självständigt.

How Our "Rape Culture" Came About
A lesson in unintended consequences.
By Guest Editorial | April 14, 2015
As my granddaughter got serious about saving for college, I read about "rape culture" with more interest. The Rolling Stone story of rape at UVA was untrue, but the police officer who reported that the rape hadn't occurred said it was obvious that the alleged victim had suffered "severe trauma." If my granddaughter suffers severe trauma, it won't matter to me whether it's illegal, immoral, or what, I'd rather it didn't happen.
Non-Consensual Severe Trauma
It's hard to see clearly through all the ideological smoke, but it seems that young ladies' well-being is more at risk than when I entered MIT in 1963. It's clear, however, that many incidents of "severe trauma" are alcohol related.
Collegians' instincts haven't changed, any more than human nature has. If you put college-age kids in a bag and shake it, you get couples just as in ancient times.
Alcohol hasn't changed either. As always, "Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker." Take couples and add alcohol, you get coupling, even if the outcome might be traumatic for some.
If neither booze, boys, nor girls have changed, what has? Our drinking laws.
My freshman year, the drinking age was 18 which let just about all students drink legally. The administration always had at least one faculty couple at dorm or frat parties. One professor and his wife couldn't proctor hundreds of kids, so MIT also had a Judicial Committee of elected seniors and grad students who took turns being non-drinking "designated adults." The DAs intervened before trauma could occur.
Was this a perfect system? No, not any more than chaperons had been perfect when I was in high school. Was there sex? Of course. Was some of it less consensual than would be ideal? Yep. Were there incidents of "severe trauma?" Sure, but not nearly as many as we have now.
What changed? The drinking age was boosted to 21. Faculty and judcomm members faced severe legal liability for letting under-age students drink, so they stopped having official parties.
Students away from home for the first time were just as interested in booze as before; the law didn't stop kids drinking any more than prohibition stopped Al Capone from brewing. The law forced drinking underground where the administration couldn't influence outcomes. There wasn't any less "underage" drinking than before. In fact, it seems like there's more drinking because there's nobody around to inject a voice of sanity and good sense into an alcohol-sozzled young mind.
Set free of adult restraint, sophomoric libidos rage and the end result is "severe trauma." Kids haven't changed at all - the same thing would have happened in my day without adult supervision.
I remember reading that the Mothers Against Drunk Driving felt filled with satisfied virtue when they finally got the drinking age raised all across America. My European friends were aghast - how could it be illegal for parents and teachers to instruct youngsters how to handle alcohol and watch out for them as they learned what it did to their minds and bodies?
With the very best of intentions, I doubt that the Mothers realized that outlawing adult supervision of college drinking parties could lead to our current "rape culture." "Severe trauma" of a sexual nature is probably better than being killed in an auto accident, but the goal wasn't to keep college kids from drinking all, per se; the goal was to keep them from killing themselves through drunken driving. The blunt instrument of outlawing all youthful drinking regardless of circumstances or chaperonage has had unintended consequences.
Consensual Severe Trauma
Lack of consent isn't required for "severe trauma" to result from inter-gender interaction. Miriam Grossman's book "Unprotected" discusses her experiences as a mental-health counselor at a girls' college. In spite of all the feminist rhetoric about "the pill" making it possible for women to have recreational sex as men do, it seems that sexual interaction leads an appreciable fraction of college girls get emotionally involved with their boyfriends to the point of being badly hurt when the relationship falls apart. It wasn't politically correct for Ms. Grossman to say so, but adding sex, even desired consensual sex, to the mix often makes the breakup harder for the girls.
This isn't news. Centuries ago, King Solomon wrote, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." If a girl gives her heart to a boy before he's committed to taking care of her, she's in for a world of hurt.
I can tell my granddaughter to stay away from parties where alcohol is served, but there are non-alcoholic ingredients that will cloud her judgment and make her vulnerable. She should avoid gatherings which lack adult chaperons. If that means staying away from most parties, so be it.
I wish our colleges hadn't abandoned their longstanding role of protecting students from immature instincts. The results we see today are in no way an improvement. If my granddaughter's careful where she goes, she can probably avoid non-consensual trauma, but she'll also have to guard her heart.

Parents can still alcohol-train their children at home, regardless of the 21 age rule.
Most states allow exceptions if it's private property, not a place where alcohol is sold and there's parental consent:

Please don't forget the drug and marijuana culture that turns our kids into dullards. Nothing matters when you fare baked.
We are turning into a county of youthful zombies.
Jason said:
"Were there incidents of "severe trauma?" Sure, but not nearly as many as we have now."
This is the lynchpin of this article, but you provide no evidence for it at all. How do you know that there are many more incidents now?
Patience said:
Seems to me like it's simple common sense: back in the day, there were a) proportionately fewer women who b) lived in separate dorms watched over by c) older ladies rather than their peers. Obviously in those circumstances there would be fewer opportunities for unpleasant events - certainly not **no** chance, but a lot less.
Patience, on the other hand, it has been said that, back in the day, there was a lot more fear of ridicule and scorn when it came to reporting men for sexual inappropriateness. If reported at all, the administration would white-wash over it, often pushing the female out, to save face and reputation. Universities had a much higher male to female ratio. Females stood up for themselves much less than now. At least that is the narrative.
lfon, that is true. I think by definition it would be impossible to prove statistically, but I suspect that the underlying truth is:
a) In past times, women were far less likely to be abused
b) BUT for those unfortunate women who DID get abused, they were far less likely to have any kind of justice done on their behalf.
So that leads to a moral question. Is it better to have (say) 1 victim for whom nothing is done, or 10 victims, 7 of which get appropriate redress?
OJ Summey said:
I just don't know how anyone can chuck the rape culture up to just alcohol. Those of us who are mature enough to have been paying attention, also see the moral decay that underpins all of society now.
You take young people below the age of 45,which includes a very large number having been reared in single parent households where absolutely no responsibility was demanded, and you can see what the end results might look like.Add to that the fact that the country is saturated with illegal drugs that are popularized, glorified, used like candy, and kids are bullied and ostracized if they don't use them.
Also, we can't ignore an entire school system that spans 16 plus years and produces young people that are barely literate.
The dangerous truths that everyone should find disturbing is the realization that todays young people have no sense of right and wrong and no sense of respect for the sanctity of human life.
Just remember, a decreasing number of these people will also procreate.
Brother John said:
There's another factor different from "back in the day:" more -- many, many more -- too many, in fact -- women in college.
The chief result of this is that each woman's individual value decreases with so many more all around; in other words, if this one won't give Joe College what he wants, there will be another one along in a minute. Combine this with the idiocy, selfishness, and short-sightedness of feminist culture, and you have a real mess on your hands.
Matt said:
Another change - the definitions of rape and the now encompassing sexual assault, with the larger umbrella of misogyny.
The last on the list, misogyny, has become the linchpin of rape culture. Every joke, drunken hook-up, look, comment, book, movie, sports team, fraternity, video game etc. become evidence of rape culture. That has fueled the expansion and blurring of the sexual assault definition.
We have a misogynist culture of rapists in training lying in wait to rape pretty young coeds (don't mention those non-college women - who cares if they are more likely to be raped). To prove our point, we simply redefine sexual assault to include pretty common behavior, including kissing, touching, revoking consent after the fact when the person is drunk, etc.
When we look at rape rates, as defined by the criminal definition, they are down nearly 80% since the early 1990s. But we don't want that to get out.
Robert Riversong said:
Yes, today's alcohol-lubricated casual hookup culture on campus has contributed to many so-called "sexual assault" claims, typically precipitated by next-day (or next month) regret.
But "rape culture" did not begin with the raising of the drinking age, because it's a myth created by a radical feminist movement more interested in securing additional privileges for women by denying fundamental rights to men and by demonizing men as walking libidos in need of restraint.
The most recent and most exhaustive DOJ study found that campus rape is quite rare (0.2% per year), that the campus is a far safer place for young women than the rest of America and that campus sexual assault has declined in frequency by 50% since the late 1990s.
For the backstory on the way the meme of "rape culture" was created from misandric feminist dogma and eventually insinuated itself into almost every facet of US society, including nearly every media story on the "epidemic" of campus sexual assault, Google: All Sex is Rape – All Men are Rapists
For an in-depth expose of the evolution of universities from institutions of higher learning into witch-hunt tribunals for the "rape culture" advocates, Google: New Puritanism – New Paternalism: The "Rape Culture" Narrative Demeans Women, Demonizes Men, and Turns Universities into Witch Hunt Tribunals
Of course it's a lie - how else ca liberals get power? They don't offer anything constructive.

The thought of a salad in cold, dark January is something that looks a lot different from the image I have in mind of my July salad. I have a harder time wrapping my head around big leafy green salads and light refreshing bowls of summer greens. The winter salad that appeals to me is hearty with contrasting flavors, often containing a toothsome grain or legume and a more often than not a little cheese. Market vegetables in the winter are roots and tubers, greenhouse sprouts and for me I like the market greens as additions to a base instead of the base itself.
This salad is great with zucchini, with the addition of grapes or diced apple and even persimmon. I love cilantro here but parsley or dill would also be amazing. Don't think too hard about measurements and I urge you to not follow the recipe too exact, adding a little more or a little less as you see fit. This salad packs really well for a road trip!
Combine the quinoa, chickpeas, shaved carrots, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, green onion, raising and cilantro in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, vinegar and season with sea salt and pepper. Toss well to combine. Top with goat cheese and sprouts.
This salad keeps well in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
