Greetings! The TIMU dev team has put together another round of feature improvements for you, this time focused on view editing. We've remixed the interface to make it simpler, smarter, and better all around. Let's jump right in and take a look at the changes!
The toolbar you're used to seeing at the top of your view has been cleaned up and moved to a sidebar that only opens when you need it. We've retained the familiar view editing functions, but arranged them all into a better menu that should make it easier to configure your views.
To edit any of the settings for your views, click the Customize button and the new 'Customize View' menu will open in your sidebar.
The first group of icons in the menu lets you choose a display mode. The options here are the same familiar view types: List, Grid, Kanban, and Calendar.
The old level select interface has been replaced with a smarter, simpler way of managing hierarchy.
Click the levels button to choose how many levels there should be in the view. When you add new levels to the hierarchy, TIMU now automatically chooses the right type of level for your view.
Filters now have an option for specifying a custom date range, and the labels have been updated for clarity.
The filter and field menus also now have a search box to make it easier to find the field you are looking for.
Grid view columns can be re-ordered more easily now–just drag and drop them into the desired order!
Colors, fields, and sorting now let you specify separate settings for each level. If you wanted to, you could sort your tasks alphabetically and color them by status, then sort subtasks by due date and color them by priority level! The color menu also now shows a preview of what colors will be used for each value.
The new menus for editing views are much clearer and a little faster than before. Most of the changes here are refinements of the existing interfaces, but sprinkled in with the improvements are a few brand new features, like the ability to set a filter for a specific range of dates, and the ability to drag and drop columns into a new order.
Once you've given the new menu structure a test drive, we'd love to hear what you think! Love it or hate it, questions or feedback, put it in the comments section!

Viva N Diva Yellow & Red Colored Brasso Saree.
A beautiful fusion of elegance and charm is what this yellow & red coloured saree with embroidered blouse. which will make you look striking and more beautiful. Made of soft brasso, this saree is quite comfortable to wear and easy to drape as well. Team it with minimal jewellery and step out for an wedding party.


is there any point in the menu where I can do a backup of the configuration settings in OMV?
As the configuration always take some time I like of course to secure loosing those config.-settings.
You can use the backup plugin. Install Clonezilla with the help of the plugin and then you can boot Clonezilla, use Putty to connect using SSH as the Backup Plugin suggests and make an image of the system drive to another drive in case you break your config and you need to restore.
Ok, thanks I was able to install Clonezilla and did also the boot; I don't use Windows. I guess in that case I use the terminal in Ubuntu and ssh Clonezilla is that right? What is the address of Clonezilla then?
I guess in that case I use the terminal in Ubuntu and ssh Clonezilla is that right?
The IP address may be different from the one assigned to the OMV Operating System. Maybe there's an option on your DHCP Server (maybe your router) to assign an static IP address that is linked to a MAC Address (the MAC of OMV's Network Card). If you don't have that option, I'm pretty sure that your DHCP server will assign the same IP address without having to configure it manually, but you'll have to use some program like Advanced IP Scanner in Windows to discover the Clonezilla IP.
Well after I did the installation and restarted the NAS I can't anymore enter the OMV Webadmin site.
What the heck is going wrong then?
Please help I can't get it running any more.
It does a one time boot to the clonezilla ISO. Did you login to the ISO??? A reboot should get you back your OMV Web GUI.
Is there any tutorial available where I can see what steps needs to be done. Actually I haven't the chance to get OMV running again.
Does it mean that in the moment when I'm doing a backup a second boot is starting up?
then you can choose all the parameters like which disk have to be imaged (backed up) and which other is the destination for the completed image. Then you reboot and it should boot to OpenMediaVault as always.
Hi, well I still have trouble to get that fixed. I run a SuperMicro system where I can Enter the system from a different IP address.
When I do the reboot I see the IP address of the PC which is 192.168.10.26 where the OMV is running on 192.168.10.27.
But I can't find the way where I can start clonezilla. Any idea what I have to do?
I think it's not that difficult! You have to click "Clonezilla" in the backup plugin.
After that, you open an SSH connection and it will ask for a username, the default is "user" and the password is "live". When you successfully log in, you have to type "sudo clonezilla" and then the program starts and you have to define some easy parameters (location of the backed up image, source disk to take the image from...). When it finishes, you have to reboot the machine and it should boot to OpenMediaVault and you should be able to access the system normally.
Many thanks that worked fine so far, but what do I choice in Clonezilla?
How do I set that one? I would move it to the RAID or is that a bad idea?
I prefer doing a directory in the / of a Data disk called "Clonezilla" so when you choose where to store the image, you can have it on /Clonezilla.
By the way, it seems you are trying to save the image to the same disk as the Open Media Vault system! You have to save it on another disk.
I'm here now and should do what?
Using images. Then they will ask for a disk to SAVE the image in. Choose your DATA drive.
Of course LOCAL DEVICE. You'll save the image in a LOCAL disk attached to the OMV Box, don't you?
Good question I just saw that I came forward and had 3 HDD and 1 RAID available. But maybe it make sense to bring it to the USB?
I'm afraid that I go the wrong direction.
Also, but don't trust flash memory for backups. It's easier to have it stored in a data drive and if something crashes, you can restore almost immediatly because the image is in a drive that is always attached to the box. So maybe you could have the image in a USB and another in the Data drives.
Automatic System Backup with Backup plugin?
Is there any way to Export my Emby Library and settings from my Windows install and import into OMV?


I've been thinking of writing about this topic for awhile, and it's something that is so important - your brand. A lot of people think a brand is just your logo, but it is so much more than that! In this article, I will share the top 5 Things You Need For a Breathtaking Brand...because, who doesn't want that?!
As a graphic designer of over 10 years, I have worked in marketing departments and advertising agencies. I've worked with a variety of companies, businesses large and small, and for all of them the same thing is important - having a clear, professional, consistent image to present to their ideal client.
Consistency - I put this first because I feel it is THE most important aspect of your brand. Keep things consistent. Now more than ever companies need to present a consistent image online and in print over and over again. With more outlets than ever, it's easy for the graphics on your website or your social media accounts to get messy and "all over the place" if you aren't careful. Say for example, you hire a designer to design your logo, but for all of your other advertising (Facebook, Pinterest, web banners) you are creating those graphics in-house or outsourcing them to whoever you are buying advertising from. Without brand guidelines set in place, these graphics can end up looking scattered and non-cohesive. If Sally at the newspaper designs your add with a floral background, and stretches your logo for one ad....then you design a Pinterest graphic yourself with a different font each time...things can look messy pretty quickly. Customers take note of this - and keep in mind the brands you follow online - aren't the ones that keep a cohesive look more easily recognizable? I think so. How do I keep my brand consistent, you say? Read on, dear friend!
Fonts & Texture - Whether you are using a designer, or DIY'ing your brand on your own, choosing brand fonts and textures are a great way to keep your brand identity in check. For fonts, I would typically recommend using 2 that are either already used in your logo, or one each that you specifically set aside for headline text & taglines / body copy text. Mixing up a strong sans serif font with a light script or handwritten font can be a great combination. You could add a 3rd one in there as well, just make sure it's clean and neat, complements the other fonts well, and isn't overly ornate or handwritten. Textures are wonderful because you can choose a variety of these to showcase your brand. Choose 2 patterns/textures to start with, and you can use them in a variety of ways as backgrounds for your social media & web graphics. Light patterns such as wood, soft metals, watercolors, florals or pastels are great options.
Your Logo(s) - When you hire a brand designer, you will typically get your main logo (which you can use as your blog/website header), a secondary logo (maybe in a circle, or a smaller version of your logo) that you can use as a watermark, or in other places on your website; and then a favicon, which is a very small version of your logo (maybe just your brand initials and a small pop of color) that will be placed on your website/blog just to the left of the web address bar on your browser. The most important thing with your logo, is that you are using it consistently. Whether you are using your primary or secondary logo, make sure you add it to your "Pinnable" images for Pinterest, or your blog post graphics. Also make update all of your social media sites and online profiles with your new logo, so that your brand image stays consistent. The main thing to remember with your logo is to make sure it's sized proportionally. Try not to "stretch" your logo when placing it on your site - always use the Shift Key when re-sizing your logo in order to maintain it's shape.
Graphic Elements & A Color Palette - For my brand, EverMint Design Studio, I have chosen some floral illustrations that complement my brand colors and textures. Throughout all of my graphics, I try to incorporate one of these elements. Be it a small leaf or flower petal, I always try to add it in in order to keep the look of my graphics similar. And, I was fortunate to find enough of these illustrations in a pack, that I can use them in many different ways without it getting boring. Most stock photo sites offer illustrations such as these, and you can purchase them to use in many different ways throughout your branding. Having a Color Palette in place is also key. Take a few colors that reflect your brand (say 3 - 5) and use them in a different ways. That way you or your client won't get bored, and you can choose a different mash-up of colors with each graphic. I recommend heading over to Pinterest, creating a new board, and start pinning away! Choose pins of colors, textures or things that you would love in your ideal color palette for your brand.
Stellar Photos - Photography is such an important aspect of your brand. Whether you purchase a photo shoot with a great photographer, purchase stock photos online, or become a photography guru and take them yourself...it's worth the time and money to invest in your business. As a graphic designer I rely heavily on stock photography, as good quality photos can set you ahead of the pack and make your customer take notice. I am slowly learning more about taking my own photos and am planning to do more of that soon. Also, when marketing your business through Pinterest, a great photo on a pin is what is going to attract an ideal client to your site. Some great stock photo sites are Shutterstock, Adobe Stock and iStock Photo. Alternatively, learning to take your own photos offers great benefits for your business. There are multiple blogs and tutorials on Pinterest where you can learn how to take quality photos for your website or blog. This is so beneficial to you, as you own the photos so you can use them as you please, and any time you can showcase your work and/or products with a high-quality photo you have taken yourself, that is just a win/win!
I'd love to know...what have your stumbling blocks been when starting to brand your business?

My writing process Blog Hop!
So…what is this? This blog tour is where writers and authors answer
questions about their writing process.
I was invited to this event by the creeptastic Rhonda Hopkins.
You can read about her process here: Rhonda Hopkins Blog | Rhonda Hopkins Facebook
I've been enjoying the other posts coming up and seeing other authors processes, and I hope that you will too.
1) What am I working on?
Well, I've just finished working on 'Odium II. The Dead Saga,' (releasing May 9th) and have now started the accompanying
novella 'Odium Origins. A Dead Saga Novella Pt Two.'
I love writing these novellas, probably more than the full books they go with. There's a lot of thought and background work which goes into each character in the books, and this information rarely gets used for anything other than just me getting to know the character fully. Certainly no one would normally see this background history. But this is where all the fun begins
for me, building that character profile, their history and such. These novellas show certain parts of the characters' lives. Obviously I can't do every character, so I hand pick some of my favourite for readers to get a deeper look at, and hopefully give more depth to these characters for them.
After Odium Origins Pt 2, I'll be working on a short piece I'm writing as part of a collaboration with two other great writers.
It's about three serial killers and the nature vs nurture aspect I guess. I can't say much more than that now, but needless to say I'm having great fun writing it!
After that it will be the (long awaited) 'Limerence II. Mia' and a ton of other short stories that I've been working on for other
anthology collaborations.
2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?
People have told me that my writing style is very physical, in the sense that you get to 'touch' 'smell' and 'feel' what each character goes through. Making the characters as real as possible for the reader I think helps. I love writing old school
style horror as well. Shuffling zombies, bloodthirsty vampires, no new angles, just plain, simple horror.
3) Why do I write what I do?
So far I've only written dark paranormal and horror, but I do have several erotic romance stories under way and a crime
thriller. I like to read pretty much any genre, believing that you should be as open as possible when reading, and that
opens up a lot of the genres for writing too. So far I've stuck with horror as this is what I've always known. For as far
back as I can remember I've been thinking up creepy little tales ha ha.
4) How does your writing process work?
Generally I'll write out a plot which will be anything from 5'000 to 10'000 words. Then I start writing. Nine times out of ten,
the story ends up so different from my actual plot that I wonder why I even bothered writing one in the first place! BUT
when I'm stuck in a rut and fighting writers block, I do find that re-reading my plot outline gets the juices going again and
helps get me back on track.
So, I try—I really try, to outline and plot, but generally my best ideas come to me when I let go and let my characters go
and do their own thing, surprising us both!
So now it's my turn to invite three authors to carry on the blog tour. I'm going to invite the following:
Ken Mooney—he was born in Dublin in the middle of the 1980s; he still lives there. He holds a degree in English Studies
from TCD, which he totally uses every day during his day-job in TV advertising...totally.
He's always been obsessed with stories, reading, writing and playing them; that explains the massive collection
of books, comics, video games and discarded Word documents. His writing is a combination of all the things that he's passionate about, all the way through high-and-low-brow.
Godhead is his first novel, an idea that's been floating around his head for nearly fifteen years; there might even be
a (few) sequel(s) if he ever gets around to writing them...
Ken Mooney Facebook
Tracey Ward—author of the Quarantined Series and the Survival Series plus many more.
She was born in Eugene, Oregon and studied English Literature at the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!) It was there that
she discovered why Latin is a dead language and that being an English teacher was not actually what she wanted to do
with her life.
Her husband, son and snuggly pitbull are her world.
Tracey Ward Facebook
Jack Wallen—His works span genres and weave evil, conspiracy, and fear into nightmarish worlds.
Jack has been given the title "Zombie King" by his readers and fans. He didn't garner that title by dining on the brains of helpless victims. It was only after writing until his fingers and mind were nothing but meat for the beasts that he became a
master of the zombie genre. During that haunted hay ride Jack produced works of fiction enjoyable by not just zombie fans, but anyone daring to take a peek into what might possibly become of humanity.
Of course, being of the insane writer clan, Jack isn't just happy with the penning of zombie fiction. Oh no, the nightmare
does not end there. Like the late, great Freddy Mercury, Jack wants it all -- so, he will continue twisting the horror
genre to meet his disturbed mind as well as write his Fringe Killer and Screampark series, and his joyous celebration of
all things diverse -- Shero.
For his inspiration to begin reading and writing, Jack thanks the ever-incredible Clive Barker for penning in a genre with
words of grace and horror.
Jack Wallen Facebook
As always,
Claire C Riley ♥
Lets Scare Cancer To Death anthology
Way back last year I stumbled across another writer who mentioned they were doing a charity anthology. 'What's that?' I said, 'A zombie anthology purely for charity?' Well of course, I did everything I could to get in contact with the man putting it together, the wonderful T.W.Brown. He said yes straight away and I set about writing my story.
You see, I've always believed that you have to give back as much as you can in this world. You never know what is going to happen from one day to the next, and Cancer, that really ugly word right there is so much more than just a word to thousands and thousands of people. It's a death sentence. It's change. It's loss. It's suffering.
I've been touched by cancer, both near and far, and each time I'm struck down by how brave people can be. I'm in awe of them.
So this is me, doing what I can to help them fight, and with your help, I know it will make a huge difference. So buy the book, enjoy the stories by some of the most amazing zombie and horror talent around, spread the word, share the links and leave reviews. Every one of those things makes a difference, because every book we sell is more money to fight this. So let's fight this together.
One last thing... Cancer, we're coming to get YOU!

About The V Foundation For Cancer Research
"Don't Give Up . . . Don't Ever Give Up!"®
Serving as the heartbeat of The V Foundation for Cancer Research, formed by ESPN and Jim in 1993, his words throughout the ESPY speech have never been more meaningful. After being diagnosed with cancer at the young age of 46, Jim dreamed of finding cures for cancer. Passionate and committed, he wanted to see his fight through to victory. As a former coach, he began to recruit his team of family and friends to lead the Foundation in his quest to eradicate the disease.
As a cancer patient, Jim recognized the need to invest in young physician/scientists to help establish their careers—after all, someone had invested in him early in his career! Addressing the need to help early-career cancer investigators develop into promising future research talents was the first goal of the Foundation. The V Scholar concept was developed in 1994 to address that need. Today, this highly respected award is eagerly sought by young physician/scientists at the nation's leading cancer centers.
As with any patient, Jim discovered first-hand how slowly science progresses from the lab to the patient's bedside. He wanted faster solutions, more progress and better answers. Eight years after his death, The V Foundation announced its Translational Research Grants, designed to accelerate laboratory findings with the goal of benefiting patients more quickly.
Although Jim lost his battle with cancer less than two months after delivering the ESPY speech, his dream of a cure lives on through research grants bestowed in his name. The V Foundation has awarded more than $115 million to more than 120 facilities nationwide and proudly awards 100% of direct donations and net event proceeds to cancer research.
A relatively young organization, The V Foundation has a strong presence in the scientific community. The Foundation is guided by an elite, all-volunteer Scientific Advisory Board who recommends the research projects funded. This Board is comprised of top physicians and research scientists from prominent universities and cancer centers throughout the country. Working with this team of talented professionals, we are proud to carry out Jim's vision for the future.
Jim's dream of finding a cure for cancer is one shared by millions. Although we have not yet achieved this goal, every day we get a little bit closer and will continue to honor his inspiring words, "Don't Give Up . . . Don't Ever Give Up!" ®
We ask you to join us. Make a donation. Get involved. Visit Our Site: https://www.jimmyv.org

Horror Month Presents: Rhonda Hopkins
So, I'm going to let Karen Perkins giveaway of the signed paperback play out for a little longer--I'm enjoying your horror stories too much!
But on with tonight's post.
Rhonda Hopkins, writer of many different things--but all things creepy and horrorful. We're going to get to know a lot about her work between today and tomorrow, but tonight we'll go with The Consuming, her most recent book.
The Consuming Book Cover
The Consuming By Rhonda Hopkins
Serena knows her late uncle wasn't crazy. So when she inherits his sprawling Carolina mansion and leaves the big city to restore both his home and his name, she uncovers a mystery that could cost much more than her sanity. As the house slowly reveals its dark secrets, and the extent of her peril becomes evident, she'll settle for escaping with her life—if it isn't already too late.
A Excerpt From The Consuming
The next few days passed in a blur of activity. I sanded and painted. I stocked the pantry with food. I showed off my culinary skills which Devon seemed to appreciate. I'd catch him watching me several times a day with a goofy grin on his face. I probably had a matching one when he caught me watching him. We took advantage of every opportunity to touch one another, however briefly.
I finally moved my few belongings to the house and checked out of the hotel. Relieved at not having to go back and forth, I unpacked, made the bed and spread out all my items on the now immaculate bathroom vanity. I'd stopped checking every time I thought I saw movement in the mirror. There was never anything there. It had to be the way the light moved on the surface at different angles.
I was happy but tired and thankful Devon had suggested a movie and late dinner, so I didn't need to cook.
After he left, I showered, washed my hair and shaved my legs. I stood in front of the sink, one white towel wrapped around my body and another on my head. I fluffed my hair with the towel and then used it to wipe the steam from the mirror.
A woman with sunken cheeks and sallow, rotting skin stood behind me. I screamed as I spun around. There was no one there. The towel slipped from my hand and into the pool of blood on the floor, the white fabric soaking up the red. I screamed again and ran to the door. As I reached it, I turned back to see if 'she' was following me.
My stark white towel lay on the floor undisturbed. There was no blood. I blinked and stopped screaming. I moved cautiously back toward the counter with all my familiar items. No crimson stains marred the towel. I picked it up. Turned it over. Looked at the floor. Nothing. I straightened and turned slightly to the left and from the corner of my eye could see no one but me in the mirror. I faced it head on. Again there was nothing but my reflection.
I thought about getting in my rented Navigator and leaving. But the vision of me dressed in a towel and driving from North Carolina to Miami, almost made me giggle. Almost, but the adrenaline from the frightening encounter still coursed through my veins.
As I searched for clothing, I thought about all the reasons, I couldn't have seen what I saw. I reached for every possible explanation. The lighting was bad. I'd been doing more physical labor on a daily basis. I was too tired. Too hurried. Too emotional. Too … 'fill in the blank.'
I dressed as quickly as possible, applied mascara and lipstick with a shaky hand and combed out my wet hair. Foregoing the blow dryer and curling iron, I walked outside to let my hair dry in the sultry breeze and waited for Devon.
"Eager to see me, are you?" He brushed my lips with his, then stood back and really looked at me. "Everything okay?"
"Yeah. Just got cold in the house." And that was true. After hallucinating the decaying woman, my teeth chattered and I couldn't get warm. It seemed the cold spots were getting worse in the house. "We really need to figure out what's wrong with the A/C."
"I've looked at it, but I'll see if I can get someone who knows them better than I do to come out to check it in the next couple of days."
"We both know you're not likely to find anyone local, so let's just skip that step and call someone in from Asheville. I'll pay their fee." It was a good thing I made good money as an architect and lived simply. The money I'd saved was helping to cover the restoration and my living expenses.
He nodded and opened the car door for me.
When we returned to the house, I was a little apprehensive. Okay. A lot apprehensive. But, I refused to be scared by an over–active imagination brought on by the inescapable rumors of the townspeople.
Okay, spooky huh? Let's get to know about her, and trust me, you don't want to miss this interview!

I grew up in Mansfield, Texas - a very small town of about 12,000 at the time. It's in North Central Texas near Fort Worth.
It seems I've always written. But one of my first memories was in second grade when I wrote "How the Raccoon Got His Mask" for a school assignment. I think that probably fuelled my imagination.
Like I said, I think I've always written for the most part - for my own pleasure. There were a few years in there where life was so busy I didn't have time for it. I missed it and kept saying I was going to write a book one day. A friend encouraged me to do so and the rest is history as they say. Until then, I don't think I'd ever seriously considered writing for publication, but once I decided to write that first book, I knew it was what I wanted to do.
I love reading and I read a little of everything probably. But my favourites are horror, paranormal, suspense, YA and romantic suspense.
My absolute favourite author is Dean Koontz. But I also enjoy Stephen King, Lee Child, Lisa Gardner, Lisa Jackson and many more. As for indie authors - Greg Carrico, TW Brown, Stacey Joy Netzel, Christine MacKenzie and Cate Dean are a few of my favourites.
I often base characters on people I know, using mainly their personalities. I'll change names and physical characteristics. It's funny though because even when I've let people read something that was influenced by them, they don't recognize themselves. I think that's human nature.
My antagonist in ILLUSION OF SAFETY Is a mixture of different people I've come in contact with while doing court investigations. Of course none of them (that I know about) have gone on a murder spree.
And my main character in the COURTING JUSTICE series is a little like me, but she's a much better person than I am. She's who I strive to be. J
But I also use my imagination quite a bit. It's fun making up characters and giving them quirky personalities - watching them interact with one another.
About your book's.
THE CONSUMING, is a paranormal short story.
I originally wrote The Consuming as a writing exercise. I was given the first line and had to come up with a story. It was almost like magic. I saw that line and the story just unfolded. I wrote 12,000 words in one sitting. Then I went back and edited it down to 8,000. That story received second place in a local contest.
When I decided to publish it, I rewrote it from scratch and added another 2,000 words. I like this version even better.
THE CONSUMING is a paranormal short story about a haunted house.
Who is your favourite character? And why.
Hmmm…I guess I'd say Serena, the main character, is my favorite. She's strong, independent and capable. And when she's up against it - she faces her fears. Although I really like Devon too, he's smart, strong and sexy. J
Max, the attorney for Serena's grandfather's estate is a nice guy but scared of the house and more interested in keeping himself safe than helping Serena. He has information about the house that he won't impart because he's afraid of being labeled a nutcase like her grandfather.
I just hope people enjoy the story and my writing.
What's the project that you're going to be working on next?
I'm working on a romantic suspense series called COURTING JUSTICE. The main character is Tori Matthews and she's a family court investigator in Fort Worth, TX.
The first in the series is a novella length suspense - PREDATOR.
With one young girl dead and three missing, Fort Worth detectives Greg Matthews and Caleb Simmons are fighting against the clock to catch a predator. One of the missing girls is a pawn in a nasty custody case assigned to family court investigator, Tori Matthews. Could the cases be related? Teaming up with her brother and his partner, they'll stop at nothing to find the missing girls before another child is lost forever.
PREDATOR is due out at the end of September and the next novel in the series, ILLUSION OF SAFETY will be released in December.
What's the best piece of advice that you have been given in regards to your writing, and by whom?
One of my friends, Kay Rifkin, got tired of hearing me say I was going to write a book one day. So she went to a local college, got a catalogue for continuing ed courses, highlighted the writing ones and told me, "It's time." And it was. Thanks, Kay! You're the best!
The next best piece of advice I received was to give myself permission to write a crappy first draft. Just finish it and then worry about editing it. I'd probably still be stuck revising the same old chapters trying to make them perfect. I can't remember who told me this, but I've since heard it from several different sources. And it's something I tell new writers that I see doing the same thing I did.
So for a chance to win one of two eBook copies of The Consuming all you have to do, is go LIKE her page https://www.facebook.com/#!/RhondaHopkins.Author?fref=ts and tell me what your favourite type of supernatural is. That's it.

COLUMN: What Rockland girls basketball coach Diana Newcomb did this year is incredible
Chris McDaniel
LOWELL – I don't have a say in who gets any of the Coach of the Year Awards, but if I did, it would be an easy decision.
What Rockland High girls basketball coach Diana (Mitchell) Newcomb did this season makes her a no-brainer candidate for that type of award. (She was already tabbed as the South Shore League's Tobin Division Coach of the Year.)
Two years ago, the Bulldogs had the makings of a trophy-winning team and they did just that, capturing the program's first sectional title in 20 years. In 2000, Newcomb was the point guard of a state championship team.
More:St. Mary's (Lynn) blocks Rockland High girls basketball's run at a Division 3 state title
This year's team is very different from that team. I had them ranked No. 8 in the South Shore coming into the season. (You'd think I'd learn to stop doubting Rockland by this point.)
Yes, Bentley-bound Julia Elie is one of the best players in the state and starred for that 2020 team. Sydney Blaney, now a junior captain, was a wide-eyed freshman starter back then.
But Rockland's trip to the state final with an overachieving group of typical scrappy Bulldogs is not why I feel Newcomb is so deserving of accolades this winter.
"I'm due on Tuesday," said Newcomb after Friday's game when I asked her when she's due to have her daughter (name is currently TBD).
Arguably the best coaching job Newcomb has done in her incredibly successful 10 seasons back at her alma mater came … when she might have a child at any moment.
More:Rockland's defense has the girls basketball team moving on to the Division 3 state final
"Those girls, when they get older they're going to remember what she did for them and what she gave them," said Rockland boys basketball coach Fred Damon. "You can't state it enough, just real, real proud of her.
"It's total unselfishness on her part. It really is."
Newcomb firmly stated she had no regrets coaching this team while very, very pregnant.
"I loved it," Newcomb said of the job. "Obviously, a much more difficult season for myself but they made it enjoyable to be there every single day and I wanted to be there every single day for them because they deserved to have me there. If it wasn't a team that I wanted to be around, I probably would have called it quits about a month ago when my body was telling me, maybe you should take for a break, but not for them."
Newcomb brings a ton of intensity to the game. She's typically as worn out (and sweaty) as her players after the game, but being 8.99 months pregnant meant she had to rein it in more than she would have liked this season.
"Physically, I've been a lot different," said Newcomb. "Not my same moving self, but they knew that I went in and had a practice plan every single day. The energy had to come from them, not from me; I couldn't give them my normal energy and my normal physicalness but they knew that there would be game plans every single day and practice plans to get us to this point."
More:H.S. GIRLS BASKETBALL: Diana Newcomb has built Rockland back into a winner
The best teams take on the personality of their coach and best player. In the hands of Julia Elie and Newcomb, it probably should have been painfully obvious that this group was bound to have success. That duo is as competitive as you'll find in a town built on grit and they approach the game with a cerebral tenaciousness.
This team didn't start to reach its full potential until about two months ago. On Jan. 25, the Bulldogs lost to Norwell, 53-37. That was Rockland's lowest point total of the season and second-most points allowed. The Bulldogs responded by winning 12 games in a row, including four in the tournament. Even the high-flying Spartans could only muster 46 points against Rockland in the state final after averaging 70.3 points in their four other tourney games.
The Bulldogs played a 2-3 zone that saw opponents greeted by a blitzing Julia Elie when they crossed half court before she dropped back to patrol the paint as a dynamic help defender and rim protector.
"The job that Mitch did with them, it's typical of Rockland," said Damon. "It epitomizes who we are – toughness, relentlessness, fierceness, the unwillingness to quit."
Junior captain Sydney Blaney was a key two-way player. Along with junior Charlie Kelleher, that duo helped space the floor on the offensive end to open up a little space for Julia Elie, who doesn't need much, to work.
Sophomore Maggie Elie scored a team-high 11 points in the state final. She's set to continue the family tradition of terrorizing the South Shore League for the next two years.
Maddie Murphy served as a senior captain for the Bulldogs. Jordan Stec and Caroline Lage round out the small senior class.
Juniors Emma Cameron and Maddie Hermenau had key moments in the state final. Hermenau scored 7 points, all seemingly coming when Rockland needed it most, and Cameron gave some key minutes off the bench and drew a charge to get a defensive stop. Sophomore Sophie Levy rounded out the 10-girl roster (St. Mary's had 17 on its roster).
"These girls, I've known them since they were fifth-graders and the time that they put in, I wanted to make sure that they got my time back," said Newcomb. "They knew at any point, one day (it might get to where) I just couldn't be there and they were OK (with that), but I wanted to be there for the very end for them."
Newcomb's staff includes Chris Devine, Madeline Lannin-Cotton, Marissa Visocchi and Chris Beatrice. Newcomb inherited the program from her old coach, Lannin-Cotton, in 2012.
"Just the right person at the right time after Mal was leaving," said Damon. "You couldn't ask for a better replacement. She played, had success at the high school level, had success at the college level and she's tough as nails. That's exactly what you want coming back into the program."
When she took over, Rockland was coming off multiple losing seasons. She lost her first five games and then the wins started piling up and haven't really stopped since. By my count, the Bulldogs are 163-55 under Newcomb. That's a 74.77 win percentage. Narrow it down to the last five years and that number jumps to 79.63 percent (86-22) with an 11-4 mark in the tournament.
Not a bad run for the Bulldogs.
Here's to wishing health and happiness to Baby Newcomb, who is a safe bet to point guard some girls basketball team (almost definitely at a public school) in about 15 years, and the family.

Supreme Court sides with hardscape dealer Haluch Gravel in Operating Engineers pension case
February 4, 2014 Concrete News
Sources: U.S. Supreme Court; Oyez Archive/Kent College of Law, Chicago; CP staff
The Supreme Court has reversed a U.S. Court of Appeals decision for plaintiffs (Funds), led by the Central Pension Fund of the International Union of Operating Engineers, which had pursued additional contributions and reimbursement of litigation expenses from Ray Haluch Gravel Co.
Ludlow, Mass.-based Haluch Gravel petitioned the High Court for review of technical questions on whether the Funds' appeal of a U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Boston) order were timely or untimely under federal rules. The Court of Appeals judged the Funds' appeal timely, overruling the District Court.
In the Ray Haluch Gravel Co. et al v. Central Pension Fund of International Union of Operating Engineers and Participating Employers et al opinion, the Supreme Court reverses the Court of Appeals and remands the case to the District Court in Boston. The opinion notes that the latter court determined in June and July 2011, respectively, that Funds were entitled to a) an additional $26,900 in pension contributions, lower than an unspecified target amount; and, b) attorney's fees and costs of $34,700, against the $143,600 net reimbursement they sought.
Haluch Gravel has had collective bargaining agreements with the Operating Engineers. The unit is involved in aggregate production for a retail business, Haluch's Landscaping Products, whose hardscape program includes paver and segmental retaining wall products from such leading brands as Belgard, Bolduc, Ideal, Keystone, Pavestone and Techo-Bloc. The Funds initiated an audit of the producer's bargaining unit payroll and pension plan contributions in 2007. Haluch refused to honor requested increases, prompting a federal lawsuit where the Funds alleged Employee Retirement Income and Security Act and Labor Management Relations Act violations.

When her pharmacist left the neighborhood drugstore, my friend felt adrift. This one pharmacist had always been there to answer her questions in between doctor visits. She could ask him whether a new drug prescribed by her endocrinologist might interact with another medication prescribed by her gastroenterologist. And she knew she needed to take her thyroid pill on an empty stomach — but coffee didn't count, did it? (Thank goodness, it doesn't.) She trusted in the ongoing relationship.
The benefits that come from attention to medication management are why more pharmacists are joining patient care teams. At Virginia Mason, about 20 pharmacists see patients in primary care, cardiology, endocrinology, transplant nephrology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics.
The clinic pharmacist has the unique ability to answer all medication questions for the patient, while at the same time make adjustments within the patient's chart. Due to their integration with the care team, pharmacists in the clinic setting are able to go one step further in providing care than the pharmacists at the neighborhood drugstore. Recently the Virginia Mason Neurology Department added Lorifel Nabong, PharmD to the team, a dedicated clinic pharmacist.
This is particularly helpful for patients seeing several physicians. A pharmacist may spot medications the patient no longer needs to take, or potential interactions that could occur when new drugs are prescribed.
Typically a patient's provider will make a referral to the department pharmacist for an initial consultation, with shorter follow-up appointments as needed. Patients who are referred are often those with a chronic condition such as diabetes or hypertension. Pharmacists at Virginia Mason may also see patients with other conditions including chronic pain, seizures or renal transplant.
Nabong views herself as a patient educator. Because appointments focus solely on medication management, pharmacists can take a deep dive into medication-related issues. Nabong can take time to discuss in detail why a drug has been prescribed, why that particular medication was chosen over another, and what the patient can expect in terms of potential side effects.
Tell your pharmacist of any drug allergies and potential side effects you may be experiencing. Some medications can lower blood pressure so much that the patient becomes dizzy. Your pharmacist can check with the doctor who prescribed it to discuss whether the dosage can be decreased.
Don't assume that a medication you've taken without issue for years is still the best therapy for you now. Or that it couldn't be the source of new problems you're experiencing. As we age, there are changes in how our bodies process drugs. New health conditions — especially those affecting your kidneys or liver — may also require dosing changes.
If you start an herbal supplement or treatment, check with your pharmacist for possible interactions. For example, St John's Wort interacts with psychiatric medications. Cranberry supplements can cause problems for people on blood thinners.
Ask about pain medications you buy over the counter. Even drugs that don't require a prescription can cause harm. NSAIDs (including ibuprofen and naproxen), even when taken short term, can cause numerous adverse effects or worsen current conditions. Or in the case of acetaminophen (Tylenol), it's important to know when it's included in over-the-counter drugs (think multi-symptom medicines) as well as some prescription medications. Patients may not realize when the total amount in their medications exceeds a safe dosage.
I think having a pharmacist on site in Federal Way is a terrific addition. However, I also think having more internal medicine doctors and dermatologists available is a necessity. I just made an appointment with Dr. Masters (Dermatologist) who splits his time between downtown and FW. This is November and the first appointment I can get is APRIL. That's ludicrous! Driving downtown, parking, etc., is not a very good option these days.
Thank you for the feedback, Marlys. We will forward this to our team. We appreciate hearing from you and are sorry that you have not had a good experience with getting a dermatology appointment.

Debating Development Research
EADI Website
Posted on 29/11/2018 24/04/2019 by Christiane Kliemann
Let's Talk About Communication! Impressions from the EADI Research Communications Workshop
By Christiane Kliemann
It is no secret that in times of digitalisation and information overload, communicating research plays an increasingly important role – research institutes employing larger or smaller communication units in order to make their own voice heard in the cacophony of voices, opinions and media outlets.
"The ability to communicate is the key to being relevant", Anna-Pia Hudtloff, Head of Communication at the Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS) said at our recent two-day workshop on research communication. Thus, we were caught by surprise to learn that this was the first opportunity for our workshop participants – communicators at EADI member institutes – to dedicate two days on exactly this: exchanging experience on best practices in development research communication. No wonder that the room was buzzing with excitement, ideas and chatter – or what else to expect when 23 communication experts come together in one room?
Why researchers and communicators need each other
A large part of the exchange concentrated on the relationship between communicators and researchers. In times where funders increasingly expect a certain level of visibility of their research projects' output, researchers who interactively engage in the public conversation – on social media and elsewhere – have an advantage. Unfortunately (or luckily, depending on the point of view), not everyone is geared up to promote her or his research that way, which is where communications people come in: "We are the hype-people for the academics, we create noise around an issue, and it is much easier to boast about someone else's work than about one's own", as Rowena Harding, Research Communications Officer at the Global Development Institute (GDI) put it.
In order to do so, however, a relationship of trust between researcher and communicator is essential. When communicators are on board from early on, they can help create stories around the research and identify aspects of special interest in connection with broader conversations. Moreover, they can edit summaries and briefing papers, making them more attractive for the target audiences. Training researchers on communications has also proven to be a helpful tool – not only for media communication, which many are uncomfortable with, but for concisely and lively presenting research outcomes in discussions and on panels. In turn, researchers must be able to trust that communicators don't oversimplify their research, but help explain complex matters in an easily understandable way without dropping the necessary nuances. To walk along this fine line, communicators need to be in a constant dialogue with researchers, and develop an understanding of what they want to bring across.
Working with the press: much more than sending out press releases
Nobody would deny that the press is an important target group for boosting public interest in certain pieces of research. However, research communicators with experience in journalism know that press releases, although meant to reach this very target group, usually end up in the bin. This is why the Nordic Africa Institute has stopped sending press releases altogether around five years ago. Victoria Engstrand-Neascu, the institute's Head of Communications, explains why: "Journalists don't want to be told what to write, but they want to learn about the issues they write about". Since then, the institute's message to the press is this: "You want to write about certain developments in Africa, we have the expert knowledge. Contact us, so that we can connect you with the right experts for your case." This particularly works well when something happens in or with regard to Africa. In such cases, the institute's communications team contacts selected journalists offering them science-based expertise.
For researchers who explicitly want to extend their reach by engaging with and writing for the press, pitching articles to The Conversation is seen as a good training opportunity for presenting research in an interesting and more popular way (And, of course, this blog!). With the slogan "Academic rigour, journalistic flair", The Conversation describes itself as "an independent source of news and views, sourced from the academic and research community and delivered direct to the public."
Policy-makers' attention – a rare resource
Anna-Pia Hudtloff is sure that we only have a few seconds to get policy-makers' attention: they are usually so overwhelmed with emails and papers, that they can only superficially flip through them every day. To have the slightest chance for getting read, our briefing paper needs to be both eye-catching and short, ideally having clear statements in the headline rather than questions. "Researchers love questions, but politicians love statements".
What is true for policy-makers in general, applies even more to the "Brussels EU bubble", as Virginia Mucchi, Head of Communications at the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) calls the centre of EU policy-making. She compares it to an extremely loud and crowded arena where everyone has the same aim: convincing the EU of doing something. In order to make your voice heard, you need to gain their trust, as an "honest broker", as opposed to a lobby organisation. At the same time, policy-makers don't have the time to translate research into politics and prefer concrete policy proposals. This is why ECDPM has taken on both approaches: being the "honest broker" in some projects and giving concrete recommendations in others.
Challenges, opportunities and open questions
The increasing role of video, multimedia and other digital types of communications can be both a challenge and an opportunity, which – in any case – science communication can't afford to ignore. Training researchers in taking good photos or even short videos on field trips is therefore quite high on many communicators' wish-list, multimedia having become an unavoidable means to reach broader audiences through stories with a human touch. At the same time, the media landscape in general is becoming increasingly simplistic. The desire to go viral rather than transporting substantive topics is a great challenge for science communication. Who would honestly enjoy competing with cat-videos for example?
Another hot topic at the workshop was how to deal with the fake news epidemic. Do we actively try to rebut obvious rubbish in filter bubbles that depict a different reality, or are there better ways to counter spreading false information? If so, which are they? Is there a strategy out there that tackles this problem? And how to go about the so-called "deep fake"? – Fake news that are so well made-up that it becomes difficult to distinguish from real evidence-based news. Many open questions on which we would love to publish further insights or opinions on this blog!
A new "Communications" working group
The most tangible outcome of the workshop was the decision to establish a permanent EADI Working group on research communication, responding to everyone's wish to set up regular meetings and discussions to continue the exchange after the kick-off. We will be keeping you informed!

Get to know the 2014 recruits: Blake Austin
weststigers.com.au
Wed 13 Nov 2013, 03:19 PM
Following on from Martin Taupaus interview yesterday, todays featured 2014 recruit is young half Blake Austin.
Austin comes to the Club from Penrith, making his debut late in the 2011 season and playing a total of 15 NRL games.
A handy goal-kicker, the 22-year-old played a key role in Windsor Wolves charge to the NSW Cup Grand Final, where they finished runners-up to Cronulla.
A former Australian Schoolboys Representative, Austin can slot in at a range of positions but is primarily a known as a five-eighth.
A gifted playmaker, Austin is sure to push for a NRL starting spot in 2014 and is a name that Wests Tigers Members should look out for.
Check out the video above and get to know a bit more about Blake ahead of the 2014 season.


Maybe. But wouldn't that already happen between the hot end and the spacer now? both are flat at the mating point. The spring above keeps pressure on it so material doesn't get in between. If the washer was flat, then it seems to me that it shouldn't be any different.
(...) Like Didier is indicating: is your washer is not really the right shape you will have a leak, and swamp the whole hot end.
Meanwhile the I2K works well, 500hours/260C and counting.
Yes, taking the hot end apart can be a pain, but it seems like more people are complaining about the high cost of ordering a replacement (if they are not entitled to a free one).
And yes, the shape has to be correct or it will fail.
I messed up by sending UltiArjan a PTFE coupler I had purchased from China, because he really needed one fast.
Just wanted to chime in! So my setup finally failed (burnt plastic formed between the hotend and the PTFE coupler) .. So I am now using the vespel spacer between the teflon part and hotend..
So it's not going very nicely... I have under extrusion problems, the feeder motor started skipping and I am at 250 celsius with ABS using the vespel spacer + teflon spacer.
It looks like I might have to drill the inside diameter a little, or maybe the head is not heating as it should, I am a bit tired of this issue, I hope Ultimaker will find a good solution.
Did you put a new Teflon coupler when you inserted the vespel spacer?
there is a video somehere, possibly by gr5, with a simple, non-scientific test of nozzle tip temp. It involves touching the tip with a piece og filament and see how deep an impression it leaves... try to find it!
I think there is a bigger chance of loose connector on main PCB, both sensor and heater, , then heater failure, least temp sensor failure..
Yeah I saw this video, I'll give it a try..
Actually, I had to change the PT100 on my heatbed recently, maybe there's actually a problem with the PCB connections, because the PT100 was reporting temps correctly but sometimes after the print there was the temp sensor error, although the bed was correctly heated..
Ok so my problem is that the vespel spacer didn't sit on the hot end tip and it went up and so it plugged between the vespel and hot tip..
Really a simple issue after all, but I broke the vespel. So I'm back with the original teflon spacer.
In what way does lowering the nozzle reduce pressure on the spring? The spring starts at the top plate of the print head and pushes the teflon isolator, which pushes on the stainless steel collar, which spins on the aluminum plate of the print head. The nozzle is BELOW that. Thats how its removeable to clean.
Actually the Teflon sits on the top of the nozzle.... inside the hot-end-isolator... rotate the hot end isolator and the nozzle block goes down and the teflon goes deeper into the hot end isolator.


This unique session will focus on the launch of the Halton Region preparedness tips for Condo Boards and residential property managers.
One of the lessons learned that came out of the 2013 ice storm was that residents in high rise buildings, were not as prepared as they could have been when it came time. The ice storm had power that was down for upwards of 2 weeks in some areas and those in high rise buildings were not ready to be self-sufficient for those first few days. Understanding that water was going to be out, they would have to take the stairs instead of elevators, was something that some residents had not had to deal with in the past. This unique session will review the action outcomes and enhancements to strengthen the community.
With little warning, the weather has a long history of impacting public safety and property operations. This session will review proven steps to reduce thevast array of extreme weather impacts including from workplace / resident safety concerns, power failures, building equipment / system failures, property damage, communication failures, and flooding.
This unique session will provide participants with an overview of the current cyber concerns being faced by property management organizations, and provide case study examples of impacts and tips to be cyber safe.

Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital recently appointed Peter Walker, M.D., as its new medical director of the bariatric program. In his new role, Dr. Walker will oversee the growth of the program, which aims to help people lose weight after diet and exercise options have been exhausted.
"We are excited to have Dr. Walker lead the bariatric program here at Memorial Hermann Katy. He is dedicated to providing patients with state-of-the-art surgical therapies using the least invasive, most advanced and safest techniques available. We know the Katy community will appreciate having his expertise close to home," says Heath Rushing, Sr. Vice President and CEO for Memorial Hermann Katy.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, more and one-third of Americans are considered obese. "Obesity puts people at risk for other serious diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or stroke. It's important those looking to lose weight, especially those concerned about type 2 diabetes, consult with a physician to explore the various techniques, both surgical and non-surgical, that can help manage their weight," says Dr. Walker.
Dr. Walker earned his medical degree at Saint Louis University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. His general surgery residency at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth was followed by an NIH-funded research fellowship and an advanced laparoscopic and robotics fellowship at UTHealth.
Board certified in general surgery, Dr. Walker's clinical interests include advanced robotic surgery, weight loss surgery, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) surgery, hernia repair, biliary (gallbladder) surgery and general surgery.
Dr. Walker is also an assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Minimally Invasive Surgery, and associate program director of the Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship Program at UTHealth.
A resident of Katy, Dr. Walker is married and the father of two young daughters. Outside of his practice, he enjoys running, reading and watching college football.

Looking for new challenges and opportunities, want to join a fast-paced and exciting team?
We have many opportunities both within the County team and in roles across Oxfordshire that we need to fill. Have a look and see if you can be tempted by taking on a new role.
Lead Volunteer roles available in Thames Ridge District.
After an excellent term as District Commissioner, Martin Richards has decided to step down from the role in mid-2019. Grateful thanks are extended to Martin for the terrific job he has done as DC and for the steps forward the District has taken under his leadership.
As a result, we are looking to appoint a new District Commissioner (DC). Alongside that appointment, we are also looking to identify some Deputy District Commissioners (DDCs) to work with the new DC and other members of the District team.
The District Commissioner is responsible for Scouting in Thames Ridge (Abingdon, Didcot and the surrounding villages) and will be supported by a strong team of Deputies who will focus on three different roles. All the roles will ensure that great Scouting happens for the young people of the District and may involve enabling change where necessary.
Deputy District Commissioner – Programme: this role will focus on ensuring a balanced programme is being delivered to all young people in our sections, support leader knowledge and promote District and County events to ensure as many Leaders can support our young people to gain the top Scouting awards.
Deputy District Commissioner – Adult Support – this role will manage a team of lead volunteers in the Scout Groups (Group Scout Leaders) and act as their first point of contact for the District. Encouraging, motivating and leading a team of diverse Groups to ensure that the Executive Committees and Leaders are effective, well trained and supported.
Deputy District Commissioner – Activities and Events – this role will enable District events to continue developing for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Network and will look after a team of volunteers who will deliver a range of District events, camps and activity days for all young people in Scouting in the area.
If you're interested in any of the roles above, or would like more information, then please email dcsearch@oxonscouting.org.uk or download the application pack here.
We're holding an open evening on Tuesday 2nd April at 7.30pm in the Boundary House pub, Oxford Road, Abingdon OX14 2AA. You're invited to come and share your ideas about how you'd like to see the District develop and have an informal chat about the different District roles available.
One County; over 9,000 members; 5 sections; one camp!
Oxfordshire is in need of a dynamic, passionate and dedicated volunteer to lead our next all-sections County Camp – OxonJam 2021. This is a unique opportunity to take the lead on the biggest of Oxfordshire's many events, and provide a fantastic weekend of camping for our thousands of young people and adult volunteers. You will have the chance to build a team and shape this event together, whilst benefitting from the support and experience of a number of existing volunteers.
In 2017, OxonJam welcomed 3,500 young people from Beavers to Network to the grounds of Blenheim Palace, for a 3-day weekend jam-packed with activities and adventure. From amateur radio to simulators, climbing towers to roller rinks, and discos that lasted well into the night, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The camp also lead the way in the County's youth-shaped strategy; the camp lead was assisted by an under-25 Deputy, as well as many of the core organising team being young people. The event also pioneered the 'Adult Hub', giving adult volunteers the chance to attend training sessions, validate their learning, and share best practice, all within a short walk of their campsite.
By 2021 we want OxonJam to be bigger, better and more exciting than ever before; there is scope for you to utilise your imagination and make your ideas a reality, and shape this event into something you can be truly proud of. You will work alongside volunteers who are passionate about providing new opportunities for young people, and support leaders in offering a programme of activities that would not usually be possible in week to week meetings. No prior experience is required – you will be supported every step of the way, and we will work with you to fit this exciting and ambitious role alongside your existing commitments in a flexible way.
If you have the vision and passion to take on this challenge, or know someone else who does, then please complete an application/nomination form.

Aqua Camp is an established event for the Scout section, which is currently held in June each year at Linch Hill Leisure Park near Standlake. It's a highly popular event, and despite having space for 325 Scouts, is over-subscribed every year.
The event offers the chance for Scouts to participate in a range of water activities – kayaking, sailing, dragon boating, canoeing, rafting, gig pulling, and more. Scouts attend with their Troop under the supervision of their section leaders, however there is an extensive team of committed volunteers who come along each year to run the activities on the lake.
As the manager of this event, you will work to deliver one of Oxfordshire's longest running and best-loved events, and help make it bigger and better than ever before. You will join an existing team of motivated and experienced individuals, including a Deputy Event Manager (Water Activities) to help deliver a camp which is great fun for all involved.
Download the the information and application pack here.
As a Scout County, Oxfordshire runs a very successful programme of events for all sections. These events exist to provide additional opportunities for young people that they might not get access to in their week to week meetings and support the core Scouting programme. From Sing-along Santa and Laser Tag, all the way to huge camps of over 1,000 participants, our Beaver and Cub events have a long history of success.
We are on the hunt for new individuals with the enthusiasm and motivation to help us continue to deliver a year-round schedule of events, and join our ever-expanding event management teams for both Beavers and Cubs. Whether you are passionate about adventurous activities, love a spot of admin, or harbour an ambition to run your very own event, we want to hear from you! There are roles to suit every interest, skill set or time commitment, with plenty of support to help you thrive.
Being on the organising team for an event is an opportunity like no other. It's an amazing chance to work as part of a dedicated team of volunteers, work flexibly around your existing commitments, and to watch young people take on new challenges and achieve things they never thought possible.
If events sound like your cup of tea, then register your interest today and one of the team will be in touch for a no-obligation, no-pressure chat. You won't regret it!

How much does the Emerging Leaders program cost?
What are the options for paying the tuition?
Students are encouraged to raised support for their tuition. Downline is a 501(c)3 and all gifts are tax deductible. Students may pay their tuition balance in one lump sum before each semester or set up a monthly payment plan.
Yes, there are a select number of scholarships available that students can apply for after committing to the program.
Where do Emerging Leaders Live?
Downline provides Men's and Women's housing throughout the city of Memphis. Students should expect to pay between $300-$350 a month in rent and utilities.
What kind of Jobs do Emerging Leaders work?
All kinds! Emerging Leaders work a full array of jobs; again, our goal is for students to grow in their professional career during the Emerging Leaders program. Our students have worked jobs in marketing, communication, insurance, web development, sales, nursing, logistics, social work, teaching, banking, real estate, administration, construction, nannying, engineering, fundraising, in churches, in urban ministry, in the service industry and more!
What is life in Memphis like?
Memphis is a great city, and a real city with real people, churches, jobs, social scene, opportunities and problems. Memphis was recently named a top three city for Millennials, and we completely agree! Memphis is undergoing city-wide renewal and is a small enough city where Millennials can easily connect with leaders and each other, create businesses and nonprofits, and bring about reform. The city is also a blast. As a group, we will go to Grizzlies games, Redbird games, concerts, museums, parties and more. We believe being in the city of Memphis sets the Emerging Leaders program apart. This is not a gap year: Emerging Leaders live in a real city, working a real job, are in a local churches, are discipled by older, godly people from their community, and live around and among real people who need the gospel. The Emerging Leaders program does not simply mirror "real life", it is real life, and the goal is to help young adults transition well into gospel-centered adulthood.
Can I get seminary credit through Downline?
Yes, students can obtain up to 30 hours of credit at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for participation in the Downline Institute. Students can also receive an advance degree standing at Dallas Theological Seminary. You can learn more about seminary opportunity here.
Do you have any more questions? Email Robby or Betsy, the Memphis Emerging Leaders Directors to get more information!

In analysis and analytic number theory, one sometimes obtains estimates for expressions involving several variables or parameters subject to various constraints concerning their respective sizes. If these estimates have to be carried along and transformed in substantial ways, or if many of them involving different constraints must be combined at some point, it may be useful (if it is possible) to incorporate the constraints inside the estimates by adding terms which make the estimate trivial if the constraints are not satisfied, and reduce to the useful estimate otherwise.
This is similar in spirit to the use of a characteristic function of a set to represent a summation or integration condition, as described in Getting rid of nasty cutoffs for example.
Basic calculus or even simple combinatorics and sums.
The idea of the trick is best explained with concrete elementary examples.
the inequality is valid for , and is not asymptotically worse than the previous one when gets large.

I would like to say a big thank you to all club members who have helped and supported the Club Committee and myself throughout the year as without you the club would not have enjoyed the success we have had. The club is growing and many friendships have been formed.
May this continue into another enjoyable and successful SDRR Year.
Upon request by several of our club members we are again going to offer a Post-Christmas Run on Wednesday, 27th December 2017. However, as Greenbank Leisure Centre closes early on that day we will meet at 10am inside the Leisure Centre. This will enable us to use the facilities of the centre.
First Club Night of 2018 will commence as usual on 3rd January 2018.
