Where Does Brad Marchand Rank In NHL MVP Voting?
Brad Marchand.(Steven Ryan/Getty Images)
BOSTON (WBZ-AM) -- The Bruins are down to their last eight games of the regular season and they're within two points of the East-leading Lightning, with two games in-hand and a pair of head-to-head meetings left.
But, first, the B's will wrap up their road trip Tuesday night in Winnipeg at 8 p.m., in search of a six-game point-streak.
Brad Marchand netted the overtime winner Sunday in Minnesota for his team-leading 33rd goal and fifth OT clincher.
His coach Bruce Cassidy said Marchand belongs in the MVP conversation.
"Definitely in the top, say, 7 or 8 guys," he said. "To me, he's probably the best hockey player in the league, so he's always in the conversation--maybe not the most accomplished like Crosby, but right now, the most dangerous."
It's a tough match-up for Cassidy's group Tuesday night. Both clubs rank in the top-five in the NHL standings, and the Jets are a ridiculous 29-7-and-2 at home. They've won their last five.
Hear more from Cassidy below.

Q: How to set a spacing parameter in customized list? I am using the following code to generate my own list:
\newlist{mylist}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[mylist]{label=\textbullet}

and am not sure how to introduce a spacing parameter there, like something along the lines of
\setlength

Could someone help me define a global length parameter here?
Thank you so much!

A: You would use
\setlist[mylist]{label=\textbullet,topsep=1ex,itemsep=1em,partopsep=.5ex,...}

(no \setlength macros) and whatever you can find in the horizontal/vertical list spacing elements of enumitem.

1. You smile, dance and laugh… EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Becoming a pediatric physical therapist (PT) was hands down the best decision I have made to date. This career provides me with so much more than just being able to use my clinical judgment to evaluate and treat children and adolescents. I have always had a creative mind and pediatric PT allows me to use that side of my brain in combination with my passion for therapy. More often then not, I am spending mytime during the workday singing, swinging, jumping and sliding side-by- side with my clients. I am digging deep and assessing the root cause of motor deficits, constructing an individualized intervention program to address these deficits as well as improve overall global function. However, for my clients, it's just another day at the playground. What could be better?!
2. You are a member of a team.
As pediatric PTs, we are very familiar with the "team approach" of therapy and rehab, meaning we work day in and day out with other medical professionals to provide the best care possible to our patients in a comprehensive way. Pediatric PTs often work alongside occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists, many times providing care to the same person. Because of this, we are able to communicate daily with one another and discuss a plan for personalized care to custom fit each and every client, because we all know that no two children are exactly alike.
3. You don't forget about the little things in life.
Life is stressful, messy and overwhelming sometimes. At times we feel that we are in over our heads, we feel inferior because of our past and intimidated of our future. As adults, we tend to worry. However, nothing can keep you grounded like the imagination and love in a child's heart. For example, when you get older how crucial it will be to 'live close to the important things, like therapy and Arby's' (This was an actual quote from a client… See what I mean?).
Developmental milestones are something so meaningful for children as well as their families, the main reason being independence. Independence gives us the ability to participate, socialize with those around us and become members of our community. Although independence does not look the same for every individual, it is important that we are providing our loved ones with the BEST opportunities to become as independent as possible. As a pediatric PT, I get the opportunity to do just that. Part of my job and one of my primary goals with every client I work with is setting them up to be as independent as they possibly can. Children will soon grow to be adults, life will change and transition and when these things happen, it is important that these changes have as little impact as possible on their ability to live their lives. As a pediatric PT, I am able to work alongside families and caregivers and develop a personalized plan to accomplish this goal, promoting independence for play and all other aspects of life.
5. This career gives you pride.
Like any career in life, there are times when I feel exhausted at the end of the day, or times when I feel like there is so much left to accomplish. Although this is a career that may leave me feeling tired at times, it also makes me joyful, motivated, thankful and encouraged. There is no better feeling in the WORLD than the feeling of watching a child or adolescent progress, learn, meet milestones and grow as an individual before your very eyes. Nothing can compare to that feeling.

Ukrainian mine sniffing dog Patron received awards from two U.S. veteran organizations
Ukrainian mine sniffing dog Patron from Chernihiv received commemorative awards from two veteran organizations of the United States — Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and Bomb Techs Without Borders.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States is a nonprofit veterans service organization comprised of eligible veterans and military service members from the acting, guard, and reserve forces. Created in 1936, it unites about 2 million people.
Bomb Techs Without Borders was founded in late 2018 by a group of US Army veterans. One of the areas of the organization's work is to raise awareness about mines and other explosive objects through outreach work in various parts of the world, from North America to Europe. Now, the organization cooperates with the Ukrainian emergency services.


The 'Younger' star is due to give birth to her little girl, whom she's expecting with her boyfriend Matthew Koma, later this year but she has admitted she's starting to get impatient now because she wants to meet her mini me now.
This isn't the first time Hilary has thought ahead to the future as she recently admitted that she's been picturing her little girl blooming inside her.
Meanwhile, Hilary - who already has six-year-old son Luca from her marriage to MIKE COMRIE - previously admitted she is finding this pregnancy ''hard as hell''.


Holiday shoppers are probably already planning to hit up Ikea this weekend for some pre-Black Friday savings at the retailer's "Make Room for Celebration" event, but what about those who are keeping their focus on saving during the year's biggest shopping day? Ikea has you covered, too. The home goods chain just announced its 2018 Black Friday deals, and they're so good, they may even lure early shoppers back for more savings.
Ikea's Black Friday deals will be available starting on Friday, November 23. Ikea Family Members will be able to get select furniture pieces, including some of the retailer's all-time most popular pieces, for up to 25% off. Additionally, members will be able to find select storage pieces, select bedding, and all holiday ornaments for up to 20% off. Though Ikea Family Members will find the most deals this Black Friday, you don't necessarily have to sign up for the rewards program to get some savings. All shoppers will get $25 off any purchase of $100 or more during the sales event.
Unsurprisingly, given all the deals Ikea is coming out with this season, its Black Friday sales event will last more than just one day. Shoppers can take advantage of these deals through Monday, November 26. That's four days of savings, so don't expend all your shopping energy before these promotions roll around.
Take a look ahead to see a selection of pieces that will be getting major discounts.

Did You Know These Celebs Refuse To Do Nude Scenes?
If there's a raunchy scene in one of your favorite films, chances are the actor used a body double. Going full-frontal is a lot more rare in the film industry than you'd think, and many stars feel that leaving nothing to the imagination doesn't add anything to the narrative. Here are the stars who refuse to go nude in their films...
Though Taylor Swift has shown a growing maturity and hardcore attitude, she has pointedly refused to ever take her clothes off onscreen because "I don't really feel like taking them off." That's not a shock, considering her branding as "America's Sweetheart" is still somewhat evident in all of her releases, even "Reputation."
Not Ready For It
Though she appeared to be nude in the "Ready For It" music video, she's actually just wearing a flesh-colored, skintight bodysuit. While other pop stars have been close to baring it all and pushing their image to the limit in order to rack up views, Swift says she's never been tempted. She knows what she values and understands that going nude is something that is difficult to come back from.

Results of the Meeting between the President of Pridnestrovie and Prime-Minister of Moldova
According to the Press-Service of the President of the PMR, today in Kishinev President of Pridnestrovie Yevgeny Shevchuk and Prime-Minister of the Republic of Moldova Vlad Filat signed a supplementary protocol on prolongation of the Protocol Decision on the Principles of Resumption of a Full-Scale Freight Railway Communication through the Territory of Pridnestrovie, from March 30, 2012. Protocol Decision was the result of long and hard work of representatives of the Republic of Moldova and Pridnestrovie at all levels, from field experts up to the level of senior political leadership of the sides. On the initiative of the Pridnestrovian side, validity period of the Protocol Decision was extended for the next twelve months.
The signing of the Protocol Decision first of all made it possible to considerably improve economic situation for a number of enterprises on both banks of the Dniester River. This happened primarily due to optimization of existing railway routs, reduction of transit of cargoes in the majority of cases, creation of necessary logistic conditions for the functioning of enterprises of the sides working for export.
Thus, from April 26 till August 22, 1354 freight cars or 86.1 thousand tones of cargo of the Pridnestrovian enterprises were shipped from Rybnitsa station towards Slobodka station and, which is more important, export of products of OAO "Rybnitsa Cement Plant" was resumed for the first time since 2008. Expenditures of the Pridnestrovian enterprises for transportation of goods were reduced twofold.
During the same period of time, for the first time since 2004, 121.7 thousand tones of transit cargo moved via Pridnestrovie.
Thus, we should admit unquestionable economic expediency of implementation of the decision made for both sides.
At the same time, one shouldn't deny contribution which implementation of this Protocol Decision makes to the strengthening of atmosphere of trust between Moldova and Pridnestrovie. Protocol Decision is widely supported not only by businessmen inside Moldova and Pridnestrovie, but also by representatives of international community.
Even despite technical problems, in particular connected with requirements of legislations of the sides, arising in the course of implementation of the Protocol Decision from March 30, political representatives were able to "settle" emerging difficulties in a working and expeditious manner. This also gave significant momentum to the strengthening of atmosphere of cooperation and dialogue between political representatives.

Усадьба купца Косякова — особняк в исторической части Каменска-Уральского, Свердловской области.

Постановлением Правительства Свердловской области № 859-ПП от 28 декабря 2001 года присвоен статус памятника архитектуры регионального значения.

История
Строительство вёл каменский хлеботорговец И. С. Косяков. В составе усадьбы были деревянный жилой дом, кирпичная лавка и ряд хозяйственных построек. Западную границу участка формировал магазин купцов Васильевых, арендованный в конце XIX века коммерсантом Молчановым.

В период революции Косяков покинул посёлок. Усадьба была национализирована и в ней вели работу различные административные организации.

На сегодняшний день здание усадьбы занимают сервисный центр и автомастерская.

Архитектура
Усадьба расположена в историческом квартале Старого Каменска, на перекрёстке улиц Ленина (бывшая Большая Московская) и Свердлова. В структуре квартала усадьба заняла угловое положение. Жилой бревенчатый одноэтажный дом поставлен и вытянут по оси север-юг. Северный и восточный фасады выходят на улицу. Фасады равнозначны и выполнены в одном решении. У восточного фасада восемь оконных осей. Окна лучковые с деревянными наличниками, сандрики дополнены резьбой. Карниз также с деревянной резьбой. У северного фасада пять оконных осей. Стены дома оштукатурены и покрашены. Цоколь облицован гранитным блоком. Со стороны двора пристроены сени.

Ремонтные работы в XX веке сильно изменили внешний вид здания.

Лавка выполнена в кирпичном стиле с электическими мотивами. Главный фасад выходит на улицу Ленина. Дверные проёмы с наличником из геометрических фигур. По углам здания лопатки и сдвоенных полуколон с углублениями и треугольниками-бегунцами. Профильный карниз и пояса аттика декорированы бегунцом. Аттик разделён на три секции, центральную завершает треугольный фронтон.

Buhari wanted to conquer Bayelsa by all means – Dickson
The election that took place in my state on January 9 was more than just an election. It was more of a war as a result of what my main opponent did, prior to and during the poll.
Indeed, we survived a war because the people of the state were resilient, steadfast and showed confidence in me as their governor. That is why, at the last count, I won seven of the eight local government areas of the state and had over 134,000 votes against my main opponent, who managed to get over 86,000 votes.
To me, this is a resounding victory despite all odds because we were up against a full display of the totality of power at the centre deployed to the fullest to take over Bayelsa by force and my opponent's campaign was appropriately nicknamed 'Operation Take Over Bayelsa', which appeared innocent at first but, in retrospect, we now know what they meant from day one.
ABOVE Gov Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa
This is one victory that led to spontaneous celebrations in families, local governments and communities in Bayelsa, across the whole of the South-South and indeed most states and cities in Nigeria. Millions of people stayed glued to television while collations were going on, hoping that the forces of evil would not triumph.
I believe the Bayelsa election is a significant development in our democracy. It is significant in the sense that this is the first time a governor is winning an election in a core Niger Delta state on a platform different from the party at the centre.
To us, this is a triumph of peoples' will over might. Women and youths had to stay awake, forming a wall of protection in their voting units and communities with some of them using their bare bodies to block armoured personnel carriers. It means that the Nigerian democracy is on track and it also shows that our nation will not be a one-party state and, everyone, who is thinking that this vast land of proud and resilient people will be cowed and will only go in a particular way and coerced into a kind of totalitarianism, should begin to think twice. With my experience, our people are beginning to understand their roles in a democracy and they are now getting better educated about the democratic processes. It is a good development because this country shouldn't be allowed to slip into a one-party dictatorship. That is part of the significant thing that has happened in Baylesa; it is a victory for the people in Baylesa who rose up against the desires of the elite. It is instructive, too, that most of the elite, who resigned and joined the other party, positioning themselves for federal appointments, lost their booths and polling units.
So, it is a good development for our democracy, for Bayelsa; good for the Ijaw people, good for the PDP and ultimately good for our country because it shows that our people are resilient and it will resist a one-party state.
What I have learnt, which I have always known but a lot of people underrated, is that for anyone seeking elective office, you must go to your people because power comes from God and the people. In the election, most of you know that I and my team spent almost six weeks campaigning in a way never done in Bayelsa. I believe the governorship politics of Bayelsa can never be the same again because we have raised the bar in terms of interacting and engaging the people. We visited community after community as against the former practice of a candidate making peripheral appearances in a senatorial district or two. Our campaign was penetrating and I was able to connect with the people who were solidly behind me.
That is why I said, with all sense of seriousness, that if the election is conducted 100 times, I would win 100 times, unit after unit, ward after ward, community after community, local government after local government. I said the other side was not just serious about election because they were not campaigning but simply hoping that violence would fetch them victory at the end of the day.
The lesson from this is that after God comes the people in an election. For those who don't believe, they will say the people first but I am a man of faith; so I believe God allows people to have power when He chooses to. We also saw the benefits of non-violence because the story would have been lost if we hadn't laid the foundation, warning everybody not to be violent and to resist intimidation, to turn out to vote, to insist on their right to vote, to insist that their votes count and their votes are counted.
I again condemn the unnecessary violence and destruction that followed; you need to know that all these people that were arrested are from one side. Those that had taken over communities, all of them are from the other party, the APC, while all the victims are from the PDP and my supporters. That is the reason we didn't allow people to celebrate. There was no reason for celebration because the victory came with a heavy cost and I pray that those that were injured in hospital receive speedy recovery and, we will work with the families to bury the dead and we pray God will grant them eternal rest.
Over all, the election went well, but it is the security bit that the agencies needed to get right. I want to thank the people for going against all odds and coming out to cast their votes. We were really concerned about the loss of lives and destruction that happened. I had thought that even on account of the violence that brought about the injured and the dead, my opponent would have accepted defeat, called and congratulated me and then join me to reconcile the state and then build a new Bayelsa from the ruins. But I am surprised that he and his party seem to be talking about litigation which they are free to embark upon, but that is disrespect to the memory of the dead and the injured because he seems to be saying he is not tired of supplementary election.
He appears to be insensitive because I defeated him clearly in seven of the eight LGAs in the state. As a matter of fact, by our records when he goes to court, eventually, we will prove that he recorded invalid votes in Brass LGA where he won. We will prove that somehow INEC officials connived, though at gun point, to write votes for him. He didn't earn those votes. Even the few votes they credited to him will come under severe scrutiny and we may have a situation, at the end, where everyone will know we won in all the eight LGAs of the state. He seems to be suggesting that there should be another supplementary election which means he doesn't care about the dead, the injured and the houses that were destroyed. It appears to me that he doesn't care if the whole Baylesa disappears.
I think that is too desperate to become governor. A man has lost an election clearly in the way the man did, but he is still not ready to accept defeat and allow peace to reign. It is most unfortunate. We are leading, at the end, with over 48,000 votes and he seems to be suggesting that he is not tired of election. To us, this election has been won and lost and the honourable thing, for the sake of our democracy and for the sake of Bayelsa and for the sake of the people he once led, is for him to stop this war against the people.
He should stop boasting that they will manipulate anyone to give him victory or overturn the will of the people. It appears to me as though he does not care if people are dead and if the institutions are destroyed. He just wants to be governor of Bayelsa by all means.
Having been re-elected for second term at a time oil revenue is dwindling and a potential return of militancy in the Niger Delta because of arms not retrieved from youths in the region, are you worried about how you will run the state?
Well, I do know that we are heading to some tough time because of the steady decline in oil prices and revenue in the last one and a half years. It is possible that the APC didn't see that coming; so I have made this call over and over. What I have rather seen is an insufficient and insensitive team around President Muhammadu Buhari and his government.
For example, they seem to have taken their eyes off the economy, they seem to have taken their attention off core-national security imperatives and are now focusing more on political conquest and expansion of the sphere of authority of their party and all the intrigues going on even within their party. I am of the view that the President doesn't have the best of advice; I am of the view that the President is not expansive and broad enough. I am seeing a lot of unnecessary restriction, unnecessary concerns about political ego. This President took over the reins of this country at a time that calls for all hands to be on deck. This is when we should be forming national consensus. For example, more people have died in the hands of Boko Haram between when the President took over till date than under the last administration.
What this means is that, contrary to the public proclamations, Boko Haram threat remains a serious challenge. Our men and women in uniform are doing their best and we should all give them support, but what it means is that the national security team needs to have their eyes on national security instead of concentrating on political conquest. The President's men should show more interest in the economic downturn the country is facing, how to make progress in 2016 and going forward and not wasting time on issues that are myopic and less beneficial to Nigerians at the end of the day.
Now with Iran getting fully involved in oil trade again, we are going to have more oil glut in the market with attendant reduction in the current price of crude. That is a serious matter because it will have an impact even in the maintenance of law and order, because a hungry man is an angry man. If the economy is weak, it may make it difficult for states to pay salaries of workers while the Federal Government might find it equally difficult to pay its workers, soldiers, law enforcement agencies and judicial officers.
These are the real challenges facing the country and I am surprised and shocked that, in spite of all these challenges, what we see is that people are more interested in battles rather than making friends and building national consensus. After elections, no matter how you feel about the candidates and parties, you address the problems of the state and country and move forward. But, sadly, that is not happening and I am very concerned, therefore, the way the country is going in the area of security; not just in the Niger Delta but across the nation.
In the Niger Delta, I don't think the approach of being selective in law enforcement and deployment of military and security personnel is the solution.
Security agencies should promptly arrest and punish those who use youths to cause mayhem in the Niger Delta and other parts of Bayelsa to discourage others from engaging in criminality. There are different accounts of how Boko Haram started and one account is similar to this and I keep raising the alarm that security agencies should pick up these guys, cause investigation and deal with them appropriately. However, no action has been taken.
So I am calling for understanding and for support from the Federal Government so that, again, we can keep Bayelsa and the country safe again.
Economically, Bayelsa is in a better position now than when I started my first term. The good thing in Bayelsa is that we have spent the first term laying the foundation and we are now moving to consolidate the achievements we recorded in the first term. We have completed 90 percent of our schools with heavy investment made in infrastructure. For instance, our airport is about 70 percent ready. We just need to monitor and see to its completion.
But then, there are challenges of meeting the recurrent obligations and of expanding social security that has been going on in the form of paying school fees, WAEC forms, GCE, NECO, scholarships and all those people as all those things will be unfortunately affected. But, let's get it clear, our country is in a very difficult economic situation with the drop in oil revenues and that again calls for seriousness on the part of the Federal Government to bail the economy out of the doldrums.
To the best of my knowledge, the Ijaw nation is united. Yes, a contest amongst brothers is bound to generate divisions even in the family, but there are no sharp divisions as such. My opponent had his own party men and supporters, but majority of our people supported me. You talked about the unity of the Ijaw nation, the Ijaw nation is united. There are some efforts some people are making, using federal power to get a chunk of support for themselves. I wish them well and advise that they use legitimate means in doing so. Now that the election is over, we are looking ahead to reconciling our people and I have already offered a hand of fellowship to Chief Sylva and the APC and I hope reason will prevail.
I see their reaction after losing that they wanted to go to court as a reaction borne out of shock because they thought they had everything. They had everything working for them somehow, but they did not have God on their side. That is why they lost the election to me. I hope they will accept my invitation to join me to work for peace, security and development of our people.

If built, the Site C dam would flood the Peace River Valley near Fort St. John in northeastern BC.
There is no case for this massive earth-fill dam. The BC Utilities Commission final report made that clear. Unfortunately on December 11, 2017, Premier Horgan and his cabinet decided to continue building Site C.
In making this decision, this government has betrayed First Nations, ratepayers, future generations and all those who voted in hope of stopping Site C. However, this decision is not the end of the story. There's far too much at stake for us to give up the fight against this abomination.
We will continue to hold the federal government's feet to the fire on its obligation to assess Site C's impact on water flows into Wood Buffalo National Park. We will also support the West Moberly First Nations and Prophet River First Nation who intend to launch a lawsuit asserting their Treaty 8 rights, which they say are violated by Site C.
Power we don't need at a price we can't afford
The price tag is truly staggering: according to the BC Utilities Commission, the dam is already behind schedule and over budget and could ultimately cost ratepayers $12.5 billion. We will all foot the bill through devastating Hydro rate hikes of 30 to 40 per cent, taxpayer subsidies to Hydro debt, and potentially a reduction in B.C.'s credit rating. It's the most expensive public project in B.C. history.
There is no need for Site C power: demand for power has been falling since 2008. BC Hydro's own figures anticipate falling demand from industrial users. BC Hydro is paying independent power producers not to produce electricity due to oversupply.
The simple truth is that Site C represents 1950s thinking applied to 2017 challenges. It's not a smart way to create jobs—each Site C job costs you $3.4 million! The alternatives are far cheaper and provide better long-term jobs than Site C.
Site C would destroy land we need to grow food
The 60 metre-high dam would flood farmland capable of providing fruits and vegetables for a million people every year. The Peace Valley has some of B.C.'s highest quality farmland. With climate change threatening B.C.'s food security, it makes no sense to destroy it. There are many ways to produce power, but only 5 per cent of the B.C. land base is suitable for agriculture.
Site C fails First Nations
The Peace Valley is one of the few remaining places where Treaty 8 First Nations can hunt, fish and engage in cultural activities to maintain their identity and connection to the land. The right to hunt and fish, guaranteed by Treaty 8, becomes meaningless when hunting grounds are under water, moose populations are decimated, and fish are contaminated with toxic methyl mercury from decaying trees and other vegetation. Site C will obliterate hundreds of archaeological sites, including a First Nations grave site and ceremonial sites.
The dam would also cut off a key migration route for wildlife, with severe negative impacts on wetlands, migratory birds and grizzly bears.
The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations have challenged the federal government in court on Site C and have said they'll launch a lawsuit if the provincial government approves the project. If our governments are serious about reconciliation and a new relationship with First Nations, then they must not allow Site C to wreak more destruction on First Nations' land and cultures.
Site C puts Wood Buffalo National Park at risk
Wood Buffalo National Park in northeastern Alberta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Canada's largest National Park. But Canada is failing to protect this treasure by allowing the Site C dam to proceed.
After Sierra Club BC raised the issue with UNESCO, the international body strongly criticized Canada for failing to protect Wood Buffalo National Park.
The UN report noted that impacts on the park are "far more complex and severe than previously thought." It included 17 recommendations for Canada to address the threats the Park is facing from the Site C dam, tar sands development and poor water governance.
On July 5, 2017, UNESCO warned Canada that if it does not follow through with these recommendations, the park could become Canada's first World Heritage Site to be listed as "in danger."
In early 2018, Canada issued a rough outline of a plan to implement some, but not all, of the recommendations, notably rejecting the recommendation to conduct an environmental and social impact assessment of the Site C project.
Parks Canada is not demonstrating a serious intention to protect the country's largest national park.
Wood Buffalo Park protects the Peace-Athabasca Delta—the largest inland freshwater delta in the world, and is downstream from the $10.7 billion (and counting) Site C megadam. Site C will reduce water flows in the Peace River, which threatens to dry up the park and the delta as a whole. This will compound damage being done by tarsands development in the region.
The Peace-Athabasca Delta provides critical habitat for fish, moose, bison, and migratory birds including the endangered whooping crane. The Mikisew Cree, who have depended on this area for time immemorial, are highly concerned about the growing threats posed by reduced water levels and contamination in the delta.
The Mikisew Cree and UNESCO are calling on Canada to make every effort to understand the possible impacts of Site C on this critical area.
Please call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to halt construction on the Site C Dam immediately while the federal government assesses the potential impacts of the dam, and of tar sands development, on Wood Buffalo National Park.

50 Places Project: Peace River
The Peace River is the foundation of a major watershed in northeastern BC. It lies within the territories of Treaty 8 First Nations. The 39 Nations who are signatories to Treaty 8 are part of the Sicannie (Sikanni), Slavey, Beaver (Dunne-za), Cree, Saulteau, Dene and Mechif linguistic groups.
Open letter urges federal and provincial governments to suspend construction of Site C dam
A new statement from the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (UNCERD) has underlined the urgency of immediately suspending construction of the Site C dam.
Five big reasons the Site C megadam can – and should – still be stopped
BC and Canada have made a lot of big mistakes. And this is one it's not too late to correct. Here are five reasons the Site C dam can—and should—still be stopped.
Dismissal of Treaty 8 First Nations' Site C injunction request a disappointing step backward for reconciliation
Treaty 8 First Nations deserve to be heard on the question of whether flooding more than 100 kilometres of the Peace River and its tributaries would be an infringement of their treaty rights. This question needs to be addressed before the Peace Valley is flooded.

Josephine's life was indubitably envied by many of her contemporaries and acquaintances. She had had the blessing of a happy childhood with good parents and now was married to an academic and cleric and his income provided more than sufficiently for their needs and many of their desires. They even had four children--three sons and a daughter.Josephine and her husband were active in social causes and vicious opponents of slavery anywhere in the world. In fact, they were known sympathizers with the Union cause of the Civil War in the States. Their activism was a tame sort that would be expected from a socially progressive cleric and his wife and they lived into these roles and expectations with ease. Yet, as life often does, things took a turn and their happy way of life was suddenly and painfully upset: their six-year-old daughter Evangeline died without warning and left the family reeling.

MS Outlook is broadly utilized as a medium to convey in little or vast associations. Every one of the information – messages, diaries, notes, and so on are put away in Exchange Database or EDB, by the Microsoft Exchange Server. You get the chance to get to the information put away in the EDB by your email customer – MS Outlook.
The Outlook functions as a brilliant email customer and stores an imitation of the information spared in client post box over Exchange Server in OST or the Offline Storage Table. The OST is put away disconnected on your PC. It is this OST record that gives you a chance to work even if there should arise an occurrence of Server downtime.
The normal for OST to synchronize with the Microsoft Exchange Server and refresh every one of the information demonstrates helpful for the Outlook clients. The work is conveyed uninterruptedly. Every one of the assignments – forming messages, cancellation, sending and getting is conveyed with no interference in the disconnected mode.
It is this significance of the OST that it ends up fundamental that it should function admirably. Be that as it may, the basic issue of OST record getting to be difficult to reach emerges a noteworthy danger of OST defilement and thus offers ascend to the utilization of an OST to PST Converter.
To defeat the issue made after the previously mentioned activities that lead to OST defilement, you require an OST-PST converter apparatus.
A decent device reestablishes all OST segments – messages, contacts, schedule things, diaries, and so forth.
Performs OST-PST transformation even if there should be an occurrence of extraordinary harm of the OST record.
Performs OST recuperation from most forms of Outlook including MS Outlook 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and 2010.
Is good with Windows 2000, Server 2003, XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Aside from the above highlights, a ground-breaking.OST document to.PST record converter reestablishes the Offline Storage Table on any plate – even the ones in the system as well. In this way, it is essential that you examine a long time before settling on an OST-PST converter, with the goal that you select a quality OST to PST converter programming.


Vancouver-based Artist, Elyse Dodge, is best known for her bold use of colour in landscapes, exploring the connection between soft and hard forms, creating a distinctive visual language in her work.
Elyse was raised in Kelowna, British Columbia, by an artist and a builder who taught her about craftsmanship and how to see her surroundings as shapes and colour. Still inspired by the scenery of the West Coast, Elyse's work aims to capture the layers and textures of the views we see every day. Elyse sees her work as deconstructed landscapes, focusing on the forms rather than on the subject matter. Using bright colour palettes and distortion – her work seamlessly blends the freedom of Impressionism with the precision of geometry. The work acts as a reminder that things are not always what they seem and that a whole exists only as the sum of its parts; each part is just as beautiful and integral as the full puzzle. Elyse's colourful original paintings and prints of polygonal landscapes are featured in the interiors of Canada's most contemporary homes.

Why I'm Rooting for Batman in the Epic Battle (Ben Affleck or Not)
In the epic battle of Batman v Superman, here's why the re-invented superhero, Batman, prevails for me.
Shakunt Saumitra
Updated: 21 Mar 2016, 2:35 PM IST
Lets face it, they're single handedly the biggest crowdpullers as far the superhero genre goes.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe, though has kept it together since 2008; the Bat and the schoolboy in blue have pretty much been on every fanboy shirt, lunchbox, wall and about 3,564 other items of daily use. They're aspirational figures – gods to some, entertainment to others.
"Deep down, Clark's essentially a good person... and deep down, I'm not." is a debate that Batman has with himself. (Photo Courtesy: Facebook/BatmanvSuperman)
The Fallible Superman
Of late, since the resurgence of the old, small issue comic (as juxtaposed to the heavy-duty graphic novels that we see today), the campy pencilling has given way to a much wider, more nuanced universe. Here, Superman isn't just a bumbling reporter with blue tights underneath, but a man as fallible as any. And what separates him from the mortals is not his strength – but his iron will to hold back even when he's raging mad inside.
You know that he can squish Batman like a fly, you know that he can snap Zod's neck, but a humble moral centre won't allow him to do it. He's got ideals, he knows he's a pillar of hope and he cannot let that ideal fall.

He understands that the symbol on his chest is bigger than him.
How Batman Came to Stand for a Symbol of Vengeance
"Deep down, Clark's essentially a good person... and deep down, I'm not." is a debate that Batman has with himself and that, I believe, is the ethos of the equation between them. This is where the character canvas of the Bat gets on a spectrum that's been the subject of debate since the time that I've been in the know of it.
Purists have seen the evolution of an immature Bruce Wayne over the years, and therefore, associate his character with fair play. They associate it with a sense of justice – not a higher moral authority, but a levelling force, not arising out of an affinity to violence, but out of vengeance.
He's the detective, a better strategist than the best strategist you know, the guy whose backups have backups.
Then, you'll meet a branch of freaks that do not subscribe to this notion. Their devotion to the Bat stems from something way darker. It's a place that justifies vengeance.
It doesn't make the Bat a great punch that'd take down the building – it makes him the guy who'd be scowling in the rubble and thinking of a million ways to maim you once you've hit him with one. Or maybe three. He's the last man standing and the worst part is that you know he won't quit, he won't not come back. Worse still, he knows it. Enter the Batgrin. Even when he's pitted against Superman who's just gone through three of his ribs and a bloodied face, along with a crushed wrist, all he says is – who will they send after you?
Of the Evolution of Batman: From Frank Miller and Batman Begins... to Now
It's the Bat which, in Frank Miller's words, is the fiercest, purest survivor. The kind that blurs the lines between hero and psychopath.
After the three trailers and the five million TV spots, it is safe to assume that a certain percentage of the upcoming movie is a take on Frank Miller's 1986 classic.

And although I believe it is time for a fantastic, over-the-top, riddled-with-CGI version, my favourite Batman will still be Nolan's 2005 Batman Begins. (Probably the first time cinema took the superhero business seriously.) Those body punches, that voice, and that Batmobile. If you really look at it, every superhero movie before that has just been a colourful and rather funny excuse.

And now we have a new one, punching people into the ground, through crates and through walls.
I should be overjoyed, ecstatic.
Somehow, though, I'm not.

Partially, it has something to do with Batman having a stubble, and no neck; frankly – behind the cowl – the guy actually looks quite like a doofus. Ben Affleck is a great actor, my biases against him for destroying a character as brilliant as Daredevil shouldn't come in the way of the genesis of the Justice League, but I'm not convinced. Don't get me wrong, I want this to be brilliant. Maybe it's the Batman we don't deserve, but the one we need right now. Cheesy. I know.
Oh, sorry, there's a Superman and a Wonderwoman (who?) in there somewhere too. My bad.

This Ain't Open for Discussion
Shares in taste-making are in free fall. But every time a new batch of journalists get canned and ad revenues break new record lows, it seems like another publication pops up that's another flavor of communist. They say they're the voice of something, those increasingly nervous men who mark the free space on their intellectual bingo cards by ruminating about how "late capitalism" should be ending any day now.
Don't worry. Their preferred state of affairs requires the constant application of political energy, and so getting everyone to clap their hands and believe is more a matter of survival than success. The sweaty impulse toward managing memes isn't power, it's compensation for power-insecurity. Anything but the audience's undivided attention is foreboding; someone could be headed for the exit any minute.
"But this wasn't deliberated!" is the pearl necklace that they clutch for when folks start shuffling out. There's a cottage industry of thinkpieces complaining about the latest guy who packed up and left without a proper explanation. Seeing the other team scoring points by whining to the referee, right-wingers think it will work just the same for them, and so we have the court jester known as the conservative media. Until he realizes that the referee is playing for the other team, that poor clown will exist to be the object of routine humiliation.
It's empowering to realize that the referee isn't neutral after all. More empowering than that is realizing that no points worth scoring require his approval. The zero-energy state of things — the place where everything ends up after the dam breaks and all movements have spent themselves — is our friend. Politics is a tug-of-war for public opinion that isn't worth being drafted into. Even if you win, the mechanisms of the world won't churn much differently. The invention of the transistor has already lapped the Russian Revolution in terms of historical importance.
The end of consensus in media seems to track with the end of consensus in government, the end of the end of history. What we are seeing, first in India, then in Britain, and recently in America, represents the acceleration of a trend 70 years in the making. Since 1945, when the forces of liberal democracy (and communism) stood triumphant and there were less than 50 sovereign states on the planet, the world has fragmented at a pace unmatched since the bricklayers on the Tower of Babel put aside their vain construction project and headed for the hills — the Almighty having confounded their consensus-making abilities. Today there are around 200. And short of new states, new forms of negotiated sovereignty are appearing throughout the world. This process shows no signs of slowing down.
We're not here to be the voice of anything. We're interested in what happens in the ever-growing space where voice is irrelevant. Jacobite's purpose is to observe currents that are easy to miss because their existence doesn't rely on being announced through an activist's megaphone. You're invited to come along for the ride.

Trump Imposes Tariffs on Imported Steel and Aluminum, Canada and Mexico Get Grace Period
President Donald Trump speaks to Dave Burritt of U.S. Steel Corporation during a meeting with steel and aluminum executives in the Cabinet Room of the White House, Thursday, March 1, 2018, in Washington. (Photo: AP)
President Donald Trump issued proclamations exercising his authority under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, imposing tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum.
The executive action starts a 15-day clock before a 25% tariff on imported steel and 10% tariff on imported aluminum go into effect. The White House said "the President recognizes that Canada and Mexico present a special case" and included a clause granting them a roughly 30-day grace period to avoid being impacted.
"Our factories were left to rot and to rust all over the place," President Trump said, flanked by steelworkers and union representatives. "Thriving communities were turned into ghost towns."
"Those who poured their souls into building this great nation were betrayed. But that betrayal is now over."
Assistant to the President Peter Navarro, who also serves as the Director of the White House National Trade Council and Director of Trade and Industrial Policy, is widely popular with the president's economic nationalist base. However, he terrifies globalists in D.C. and on Wall Street.
"Canada and Mexico are going to be given an opportunity to negotiate a fair trade deal for NAFTA," Mr. Navarro told Charles Payne shortly before the ceremony at the White House. "If we get that, they won't receive the tariffs."
"Tomorrow, bottom line, is gonna be a good day for America."
It's rumored that Mr. Navarro is a top candidate to replace Gary Cohn, who as People's Pundit Daily (PPD) reported has resigned. The resignation came as President Trump plans to return to the message of economic nationalism that fueled the greatest political upset in modern U.S. political history.
The former New York businessman-turned-President of the United States ran for the highest office in the land vowing to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and withdraw the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Shortly after taking office, President Trump signed an executive order making good on the latter and moving to renegotiate NAFTA on a bilateral basis.
"I'm delivering on a promise I made during the campaign," President Trump said, adding "and I've been making it for a good part of my life."
Mr. Cohn was constantly in opposition to the platform of economic nationalism that resulted in the cracking of the Blue Wall in November of 2016. President Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to carry Pennsylvania and Michigan since 1988 and the first to carry Wisconsin since 1984.
He said on Monday that he would reconsider proposed tariffs on imported steel and aluminum if and when a "new and fair NAFTA agreement is signed."
President Trump left the door open for other individual countries to potentially modify or remove the tariff "under certain conditions."
"Modification or removal of the tariffs would be possible if alternative means are agreed upon to ensure imports from a country no longer threaten to impair our national security," the White House said.
United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer is responsible for negotiations with countries that seek an alternative means to the steel and aluminum tariffs. He personally supports including an exemption for NAFTA nations if the trade deal can be retooled.
"There's no love-loss between me and the President," said Stewart Acuff, a leading labor official, socialist and former AFL-CIO official. "But he's right this time."
A little-reported review recently conducted by the U.S. Commerce Department found steel import levels and global excess capacity are weakening the U.S. economy and are threatening national security. The report concluded that excess levels of foreign steel imports are displacing domestic production.
U.S. producers face more competition from foreign imports as other countries continue to increase their exports and further their own economic interests.
What Industry Is Saying
U.S. Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) CEO David Burritt said during the meeting that the new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are "vital to the interests of the United States."
"This is vital to the interests of the United States. This is our moment, and it's really important that we get this right," Mr. Burritt said. "We believe that the leadership that this administration has shown on tax reform is simply outstanding. The elimination of bureaucracy is simply outstanding. We trust your judgment on this issue."
Nucor Corporation (NYSE: NUE) President and CEO John Ferriola mirrored those sentiments and praised the Trump Administration for taking further action to protect U.S. industry. Nucor is now the largest steel producer in America.
"We believe very strongly that it's time for decisive and meaningful action to stem the flow of illegally traded imports into this country," added Mr. Ferriola. "And we are counting on the administration to fulfill the promises that were made and to give us that level playing field to compete."

Pop ups soliciting user comments on websites, good or bad?
Recently I was browsing a well known British high street shop's webshop and in the middle of my session a pop up appeared asking if I had any comments on the site. From a recent survey I did on mobile apps I know that 47% of people would uninstall an app that had a pop up that asked for feedback. Is there any evidence that web users are more forgiving about this sort of pop up?

+1 for asking for evidence and not opinions =) – Erics Nov 6 '13 at 16:41
Any popup not initiated by the user is intrusive and will likely annoy them.
This seems especially bad for a storefront. Delaying someone from being able to research, compare, and potentially purchase items is not good for them nor the business. The interface supposed to help someone reach a goal, not distract them.
Actual browser-window popups were so annoying to people that every browser started including a popup blocker. Today, this practice is coming back in the form of modals/lightboxes that come up automatically and is equally as annoying.
In the case of an online store, the customer could be prompted for feedback after they have completed their purchase, instead of beforehand. Their feedback would probably be more useful at this time anyway, since they had actually completed the entire process of finding and purchasing something. It shouldn't be done with a modal window, though, but instead as an aside somewhere like their order confirmation page. "Thanks for your purchase. [Order details]. Earn a $5.00 credit by sharing your experience with us today." for example.
Amazon sends emails about shopping experiences days after the product is received. Sometimes they ask for you to review the product, and other times they're curious about how the packaging of the product was. It's non-intrusive, and I personally don't mind getting the emails at all, unlike how I'd feel about a popup window while I'm trying to shop :-)

Pretty much the points I made to the company in question on the annoying modal box :) – KitP Nov 5 '13 at 8:03
In my experience at a previous start up, we found that pop-ups like this were a bad user experience, but they did yield more feedback than a normal feedback form. It's up to every business to decide whether the extra feedback is worth the reduced visitor satisfaction.
However, a slightly modified idea, which is making live chat available, but not using a pop-up was very helpful for everyone involved. People love to chat instead of writing emails or calling, but as we grew the load on our customer service operation was just more than we wanted to dedicate to the project.

If you are after feedback only then "they did yield more feedback" would be a good metric. But if it harmed signups or sent users to another site, then that feedback probably wouldn't be worth it... – jlarson Nov 5 '13 at 0:16
They may have yielded more feedback but did they impact on site usage at all and was the feedback of any practical use? – KitP Nov 5 '13 at 8:06
@KitP These type of comments are most useful for finding bottlenecks or UX failures. And for that, it did help. I'm afraid we were too early-stage to be able to measure whether it affected other site metrics. – Jeremy T Nov 5 '13 at 16:25
@JeremyTunnell So this would be more of a beta thing than something you'd advocate as a more permanent source of feedback? I'm just curious now... :) – KitP Nov 6 '13 at 9:04
@KitP I was really just trying to be fair to the idea. I really wouldn't recommend it generally, but if you had a very error-prone pathway that was puzzling, you could perhaps throw something up when you detect an abandonment to try to ferret out the problem. But that's kind of a different question. – Jeremy T Nov 6 '13 at 16:50
Like others have mentioned, popups are annoying for a lot of users, they interrupt the browsing experience and hinder users from reaching their end goal.
In this instance the concept of using a popup during a user's visit to a site to evaluate their experince seems absurd. Surely this should happen at the end of a user journey (possibly after a purchase) or when a user decides they want to mention an issue/give feedback.
I've seen this service (https://www.uservoice.com/) used on a few sites. It inserts a tab on the side of the page which a user can click to give feedback on the site. Its not the most attractive solution but I like it. You can see it in action at the http://www.php.net beta site.

The Icelandic Sculptors Society Winter Exhibition in their Sculpture Garden Reykjavik 7th February - spring. On the agenda of the Winter lights Festival 7th - 10th February. Obi my sculpture on show was the first of many of the same, originally installed 2008 in England and is part of my Japanese tea-house series where I borrow well known Japanese functional forms, exhibit and perform where culture and customs are different.
Environmental installation, Gufunes, Reykjavík. The Mountain Series of recycled materials influenced Gudrun by working in her Reykjavík studio on the site of one of Iceland's leading providers of environmental management services and clean energy.
the Temple is a stopover on people's journey and at the same time a place to meditate or ignore.
Labyrinth in the sheltered Prince's Gardens square, with its landscape garden, is hidden and tranquil though very central and found just off Exhibition Road where countless people pass through every day. The fenced square invites visitors, or passers-by, to walk the path across the green. The path guides one to it's destination, making entry onto the lawn unnecessary when passing through. But if staying and enjoying the enclosed area, the grass or a garden bench invites one to rest and reflect.
Within the square near the south entrance to Exhibition Road is the installation site for the over life size sculpture Labyrinth. As one walks around the work to view it from a distance, one finds its form and depth change constantly and gets the feeling of its enclosure, the inner space with help from walls opening, entrances or exits and the see through hessian walls. It has been stated that I "choreograph the viewer's movements and experience, diverting the focus points and resisting the notion of a full overview". I invite people on a journey to enter the seven wall structure or to just ignore it. On that journey one will have to go out of one's way from the path to enter the Labyrinth where it expresses it's being both by form and name.
A publication accompanying the exhibition will be available in June 2015.
Absent Core is a reference to the way of Zen Buddhism the temples inner world, the core. In this work visitors are led on a journey through blocked corridor and open veranda, partly surrounding the absent core. The repeated row of blocked Noren gates represent the mystic behind entering into the world of Zen the temple with it's corridors and verandas, courtyard- and the dry landscape gardens the hidden inner world, the unknown behind removable walls of the Shoji paper doors and windows or the Noren that gently moves by a touch or the weather. After each of the five entries one might think, you are there but you are not. The unexpected is still waiting to appear and the past folds gently behind you on the journey. As you are guided slowly further along and higher up to the open veranda, the direction changing and the path leads you along to the steps, that guide's you down to the ground again. As you turn the Zen garden presents the big ocean... it welcomes you with its inner cam and the previous footpath is the place to rest and reflect to capture the cam of the Zen and joy the end of the journey.
Borrowed View on show and work in progress, The Borrowed View sculptural form constructed for the first time over life size. The installation refers to the Japanese expression "borrowed landscape". A technique where vistas extend beyond a structure, into the distance.

My sculptural installation Gálgahraun 2012 refers to the lava flow that ran from the askja Búrfell, Hafnarfirði Iceland in 6000 BC a kind and giving neighbour all my life. Búrfellshraun is a place to visit on cold and dark winter days or on bright summers days or nights. This neighbour of mine that is now under a threat has been here for a considerable time and should be allowed to stay on. In days gone by younger lava flows have covered part of Búrfellshraun. Group Exhibition in SÍM Hafnarstræti, Reykjavík 30th November to 20th of December.
A Decade of Sculpture in the Garden exhibition. Work by more than sixty sculptors on display, from the USA, Germany, Iceland, Italy, France and the UK, with a number of sculptures by members of the Royal British Society of Sculptors.
The Absent Belfry Shö-Rö is a non-functional sculpture influenced by the bell tower within the Töfuku-Ji Temple in Kyoto. The 12 column platform invites spectators on a journey up the steps to an inner raised platform of the belfry where there is no sound source or protection from the elements, what you find there is their absence. On that journey your mind might wonder about the unanticipated changing dimensions of the stairs, with the increasing step working in tandem with the decreasing foothold as you ascend and thus making you work to enter the absent belfry.

OK, so let's talk about cold contacting! So over the last two posts, we've established a framework for getting ideal prospects and went over exactly how you'll break the ice with new contacts.
Today, I want to focus on logistically how you'll make first contact.
In a perfect world, you'd have referrals. Someone you trust (and who trusts you) would make a mutual introduction to the new contact. But what do you do when you don't have a reference?
Today I'm going to introduce a strategy that will help you get in front of the people on your list, and maybe even walk away with a client or two.
The biggest single mistake people make when reaching out to someone they don't know is their failure to produce value.
Not to toot my own horn, but now that I've grown a sizable audience I get people I don't know emailing me all the time.
I've had a few people over the last few months ask me about my thoughts around subcontracting for agencies or consultancies (what I'll call "firms" throughout the rest of this post.) A lot of us freelancers, especially those who haven't systemized getting new clients, often see working through firms as a lifeline. These firms have the clients and the projects, but they occasionally need outside help. And that's where we come in.So you white-label yourself as an agent of the firm, get paid, and totally avoid needing to secure your own clients. And hey, sometimes you don't even need to TALK to the actual client!But there is a downside.
It's mostly impossible to avoid being a "resource" for the team you subcontract for (keep reading to find out what the exception to the rule is.) You won't really be able to price yourself on the value you produce, and your client — that is, the firm — is going to want to make as much profit as possible off you.

Long hair is a great luau look.
A luau is a fun summer party, but knowing how to wear hair at a luau can be a challenge when the goal is to look both fabulous and carefree.
Will the event be indoors or outdoors? Most luaus are outdoors near a pool, beach, or picnic area, but some events may be held indoors in a themed hall ballroom, hotel, or rec room.
What is the formality of the event? Typically, luaus are casual, informal affairs, but some people choose a luau theme as a fun twist to a more formal occasion such as a wedding reception. How formal the event will be should be an indication of what type of hair style to choose.
When is the event scheduled? Morning and afternoon luaus are more likely to be casual affairs, whereas an evening party may be more formal. The time of day can also affect the climate - sunlight, heat, humidity, etc. - that can affect hair styles.
What activities will there be at the party? Barbeques, limbo contests, hula lessons, and water fights are all popular options for luaus, and they can each drastically affect a hair style. The smoke from a barbeque may dry out hair, whereas a style should be able to withstand dancing and limbo backbends if necessary. Water fights or other aquatic activities, of course, can cause a number of hair disasters if the style isn't planned with those activities in mind.
Long, flowing hair with gentle waves that mimic the movement of ocean.
Sun-kissed hair highlights that show a love of the warm, outdoor climate.
Casual ponytail styles that may be firm or messy depending on the party atmosphere.
Updo styles for a sleek, elegant look.
Half updos that leave luscious tendrils framing the face.
Casually "wet" hair styles that show a love of the beach or pool.
Accessorized hair styles with tropical touches to accentuate any look.
How to Wear Hair at a Luau: Accessorize!
Single flowers tucked into the hair style or behind the ear with colors chosen to coordinate with clothing or jewelry.
Floral hair clips or pins.
Floral wreaths or head bands that resemble leis or tropical garlands.
Sunglasses or sarong scarves that can double as a casual headband or hair wrap.
Natural style accessories, such as wooden hair sticks, suede or leather clips, seashell clips, or woven bands.
Beaded accessories with tropical colors or themes such as waves, dolphins, seashells, palm trees, sand castles, or tropical fruit.
The key to how to wear hair at a luau but look as casual and carefree as the fun event is intended is to not overdo the hair style. While a simple French twist is elegant and stylish for a luau, an elaborately braided, twisted, and sculpted coif may seem outrageously out of place. At the same time, however, hair spray or hair gel may be needed to hold the style in place, particularly if the luau is outdoors, but the products should not hold so firmly that the hair will not move in the breeze. A simple style may be easier to manage and can be quickly repaired during the event if necessary.
A luau is a casual, fun event and guests should not need to stress out about their hair styles in order to look fabulously tropical. A casual look accessorized with bright flowers or themed clips can make a dramatic and stylish statement for any luau, beach party, or outdoor event.

Payback: a little self-publishing math
A client reports that in the first two months after delivery, about 700 books have sold. While most of these were sold "at the back of the room" (the client is a speaker), let's value those sales at the wholesale (discounted) price. The reason for this is that any margin between the wholesale price and the retail price really belongs to the retailer, even if that retailer is the speaker. (There are costs associated with shlepping books around, setting up a table, staffing the table, etc.; and those costs are paid by the author-as-retailer, not by the author-as-publisher.)
At a wholesale value of $15 a book, that means that the publisher has recouped $10,500 in two months. The total cost of producing the book (except for the author's time writing it) and printing 1,600 copies was about $11,000. So at this point, my client has 900 books in inventory and has recovered all but about $500 of the original investment. If those 900 books sell in the next six months (as is likely), my client will be $13,000 ahead. That's still not much compensation for writing the book, but it represents a doubling of the original investment in less than a year. And the client expects to order more printings and continue selling the book for several more years, with no further outlay except manufacturing costs of less than $3.00 a book. In addition, the client reports that the presence of the book on the sales table (where it is the high-price item at $25) has significantly boosted the sales of older items that were already in inventory and that can also be reprinted cheaply.
Is it a living? No. It is rare for a single book to be anyone's sole source of income. But if a single book can add ten or fifteen or twenty thousand dollars a year to a speaker's income, don't you think it's worth the effort?
