Ziebarth signs to play football at North Dakota

Looking back, Gaven Ziebarth admits that he was an "emotional" athlete in his younger days.
"I really wanted to win," he said. "If I didn't score a touchdown, I would get mad. And if I wasn't playing, I would get upset. I think I've done a little better getting that under control, but it's still there."
So the emotions were flowing on Wednesday, Dec. 16, as the star running back at Cambridge-Isanti High School signed a national letter of intent to play football at the University of North Dakota.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time – since I was a little kid," Ziebarth said. "I'm pretty excited about this."
Ziebarth held a virtual ceremony via a Zoom call that included signing his national letter of intent to join the Fighting Hawks next fall. One of the faces on the screen as he signed was his football coach at Cambridge-Isanti, and Shane Weibel was all smiles.
"It's one of my favorite things, because it's fun to see these players recognized [in this way]," Weibel said of signing day. "They get an opportunity to go to school, being part of a group that plays together and creates memories for the rest of their lives."
On signing day, Ziebarth said the reason he chose North Dakota was because it was a comfortable fit.
"It felt like home," he said. "The coaches were really interested in me, and I had a good relationship with them. They also have good facilities – a lot of good things."
Ziebarth said his recruitment, which began at roughly the same time COVID-19 started locking down the country, was "weird" as a result.
"I went [to North Dakota] in February, before everything hit, and I didn't go anywhere else," he said. "I was offered by two other schools, but they were farther away from home, and I never visited them."
The reasons the Fighting Hawks were interested in Ziebarth were obvious after he ran for 1,092 yards and 12 touchdowns in just seven games for the Bluejackets this fall. The explosive senior, who stands 6-foot and weighs 215 pounds, had a 70-yard touchdown run at Monticello early in the season, then exploded late in the year for TD jaunts of 74 and 38 yards against Tartan as well as 70, 71 and 39 yards in the section semifinal against Coon Rapids.
"He's explosive; at any time, he can go the distance," Weibel said of Ziebarth. "If you don't respect what he can do, he's going to burn you."
Ziebarth's production took a sharp upward turn late in the season after an injury forced him to the sidelines in the win at Chisago Lakes.
"I was upset after that game, because I didn't get to play," said Ziebarth, who took a hard hit during the second quarter of that contest and was unable to return. "It was my senior year, and I didn't want to just sit there."
He ran for 107 yards against Andover – the highest individual total for a running back that faced the state-ranked Huskies. In fact, Ziebarth's individual rushing total was more yards than Andover allowed to five other teams this season.
Ziebarth followed that with 220 yards and four rushing scores in the upset of Tartan, catching the game-winning touchdown pass with 47 seconds to play. He then added 307 yards and five more TDs on the ground in the section win over Coon Rapids.
"It could be that not getting to play much against Chisago Lakes helped him realize that this might be it, and he took advantage of that," Weibel said. "At the end of the year, he really bought into the 'team' aspect, and that's when he really started to shine.
"All I know is that, after that [Chisago Lakes] game, he really ran tough, really exploded against people. If we had played a full season, I think the sky's the limit to what he could have accomplished."
Ziebarth acknowledged that his teammates played a role in his late-season success.
"The whole team came together and played better," he said. "It wasn't just me; I think the line came together and was blocking better."
At season's end, Ziebarth was named the top running back in the North Central Blue District, and he also received all-district honors. For his career, Ziebarth ranks among the top runners in several different categories at Cambridge-Isanti, standing seventh in career rushing yards and sixth in career touchdowns since 1964.
Weibel said he looks forward to watching Ziebarth play at the next level.
"It might be nice for him when he gets to college and doesn't have to be 'the man,'" Weibel said. "It will be interesting to see how he fits in when he's not the focus of other defenses."
Football is not the only sport in which Ziebarth excels. He ran in the Class 2A state track meet as a sophomore, finishing eighth in the 100 meters with a 10.88 clocking. He said he was heartbroken when COVID-19 took away the track season this past spring.
"That stunk," said Ziebarth, who confirmed he would play hockey this winter and run track in the spring.
After signing, Ziebarth thanked his parents, Greg and Crystal, as well as all of his coaches throughout his career, in part for helping him learn how to channel his emotions toward success.
"When I was young, I know I was a handful," Ziebarth said with a laugh. "I appreciate all those people for sticking with me and seeing this through."

Attention men: do you know the modern rules to dress for success? Times have changed, and with them the guidelines for dressing for job interviews have too. And in today's volatile, talent-rich job market where one wrong move can send you to the bottom of the applicant pool, the stakes for making an impeccable impression on job interviews are higher than ever before.
Along with your cover letter and resume, how you handle yourself on a first interview–which includes how you dress–is a critical component of your initial impression on potential employers and hiring managers, and we all know how powerful and lasting first impressions can be.
So keep reading, get ready–and go shopping if necessary–to make sure you're absolutely ready when you're on your next job hunt.
An important (yet often ignored) maxim when dressing for job interviews is dressing appropriately for the environment. What does this mean? Simply put, a three-piece suit may not be the best choice for every situation. An interview at a prestigious law firm and an art gallery are different animals that likely require different wardrobes. There are times when a conservative outfit is practically a requirement, and times when a little creative flair will be appreciated and well received. When you're on an interview, potential employers will not only be looking to see that your outfit is polished and professional, they'll also be checking to make sure it's appropriate for the setting and reflects good judgment.
Bottom line–whether in a board room, theater, campground, classroom, or somewhere in-between, part of your prep for every interview is to research your target environment and audience and to pick out an outfit that appropriately fits the situation.
In times past, men had plenty of leeway when it came to clothing fit and many chose to opt for loose comfort. Today, a more tailored fit is in style, so much so that in some places you'll look positively behind the times if your outfit is too baggy or loose-fitting. A well-tailored outfit radiates positive, professional poise whereas a baggy, ill-fitting one may send a subconscious message that you're unprepared, disorganized, or careless (regardless of whether or not it's true).
Your best bet is to make sure your clothes reflect a neatly tailored fit–this doesn't mean you have to buy a whole new wardrobe, but it may necessitate a trip to the tailor if you find yourself drowning inside of your current outfits.
Sure, you want to stand out from the applicant pool when you're on an interview, but do it with your amazing abilities and experience–not with an overly flashy outfit. Resist the urge to peacock your way through your interviews and save the loudly colored suits and shirts and wildly creative ties for your next party or social gathering (unless you're absolutely certain it's the right environment for it). Instead, opt for more subtle color palettes and fits. Trust us on this one–you may stand out with a wild outfit, but likely not in the way you want to.
Just as important as a carefully considered and appropriate outfit is reflecting the aura that you're confident–which means feeling comfortable in your clothes. Make sure you've tried on your outfit in advance of the interview day, and make sure your choice of outfit makes you feel good about how you look and your chances of landing the job. Nothing wrecks a first interview quite like a complete lack of confidence and comfort, so be prepared and consider yourself forewarned.
Use these tips to plan out your outfit so that when interview day comes, you're ready to go. Looking great leads to feeling great, which then leads to putting your best foot forward–so you'll already have a leg up on the competition. Good luck!

Pairing salty and sweet is a classic combination. Which is exactly why I decided to "Pear" this Chop. See what I did there? Since the pork chop is a lean cut of meat, I opted to brine it before cooking, which allows it to retain more moisture during the cooking process. There's more on brining in the blog section of my website. Also on the plate are some roasted applewood-smoked bacon baby rainbow potatoes with sautéed broccolini. This is an example of a quick and easy mid-week meal that can be made in under an hour. Tag a foodie friend. Who wants to see a video of how I made it? Let me know in the comments.

Stop misleading the public on Sefwi Wiawso housing project - SHC to NDC
The Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on Tuesday at a public lecture commended Management and Staff of State Housing Company for resuscitating the company but it seems it did not go down well the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) as its officers in Western North Region have resorted to throwing dust into the eyes of the unsuspecting public.
An NDC orchestrated video which has gone viral on social media has an NDC Officer in a bush at an unknown location telling his audience that SHC has not laid a single block on the said 500 acres of land at Sefwi Wiawso contrary to what H.E. Dr Bawumia said at the lecture.
For the records, the Vice President said "Construction of 500 housing units. SITE CLEARING started Dec 2019. The first phase of 100 houses to be completed in 2020" he added that, that phase was "20% complete".
SHC is grateful to the Omanhene of the Sefwi Wiawso Traditional Area, Katakyie Kwesi Bumangama II for giving out ABOUT 500 acres of land to use for the construction of houses.
For the elucidation of NDC and their cohorts, a project starts with:
1. acquisition of land,
2.compensation to farmers,
3.design and engineering work done,
4. site clearance, 5.physical construction, marketing and disposal.
We are currently at stage five of the process.
Once again, Dr Bawumia did not state anything contrary to what is on the ground.
State Housing Company has been resuscitated and the true meaning as the Nation's Number One Builder is now not in doubt.

I showed you how to install a Multi-Tech Fax server for your ShoreTel system in a previous article. Now I'm going to show you how to figure out where a problem is with incoming faxes on your system. This is some pretty basic troubleshooting and you can typically figure out where the problem is inside half an hour, if not in about five minutes.
I have a user now who isn't receiving faxes from the outside, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to show the process.
The first thing you should assume when you have incoming fax issues is that the user is wrong about what's going on. This is especially true if the problem just started cropping up.
The simplest explanation for faxes not coming in is simply the party on the other end is dialing the wrong number. The other simple thing to check is the user's Junk E-mail. In my user's case this was the problem. In fact, this is the second most common problem. The third most common is the user has made a rule in their Outlook and forgot about it, or you've changed something on the fax server and those e-mails no longer match the rule and go somewhere else.
If none of those are the problem, here's how to troubleshoot the problem and see exactly what's going on.
Step 1 – Check your fax settings. If you've got a newer FaxFinder check your incoming routes under "Fax Configuration". Make sure their fax extension is correct according to the information the user has been given out. They may have just given out a wrong number, or their business cards got misprinted, or something similar. Make sure your own ducks are in a row in other words.
Step 2 – Send them a fax from an external number. You'll want to test from outside your system, sending the user a fax from your own fax line, which might go through the ShoreTel system anyway, doesn't prove much. Personally I like to use GotFreeFax.com. They give you a status page you can watch, as well as a report on whether it was successful or not.
Note how it shows the user it's going to, so everything here is going to the right place. If it showed anyone else in that second table, you'll know your route is wrong or that ShoreTel may not be passing the correct digits. The latter is HIGHLY unlikely. If the wrong digits are being passed, it's probably your phone company sending the wrong set of numbers. Just call them, they can fix it pretty fast usually.
One reason this user might not have received faxes is that in this case she has a separate fax number from her direct voice line. This might show that I had not entered her fax number into the DNIS Map for the trunk group these calls come in on. In that case it would not show her as the intended user and would dump it into the default e-mail address in the fax server.
Step 3 – Assuming all the above happened correctly and the fax still didn't go through to the user, you can check the inbound fax log for what happened. This will usually tell you pretty quick what the problem is. It might simply be it can't find the e-mail server, or failed due to line noise or whatever.
If you look in the details of the fax you'll see what happened to the fax after it was received. In this case the fax passed just fine with no errors.
So now check the Mail log and make sure the e-mails went through correctly. Here's what mine looked like.
So if your mail queue is empty it's a pretty safe bet that the e-mail is going out. one thing to check is get with one of those other users and make sure they're getting their faxes at this point because you might just need to check your SMTP settings.
In my case, this part was working fine. E-mails are being sent out. So if you get to this point, it's safe to assume your ducks are in a row, so it is probably an issue with the user's account.
Fax Server is Working Correctly Now What?
No problem with the fax server at this point. Faxes are coming in, it is passing e-mails off to the mail server just fine, but the user still isn't getting them. This is where you need to go through their e-mail to make sure that they aren't just overlooking it.
The other, more common reason is that Outlook is dumping them into their Junk E-mail so check that as mentioned above. Also check any other spam quarantines you might have, though typically most firewalls don't scan internal e-mail. Check their Outlook/Gmail rules as well and make sure it isn't getting deleted that way.
Check your e-mail queues on your e-mail server as the fax server relays through that, and it might be stuck there too.
If they got your GotFreeFax fax just fine then the last possible explanation is that the sender is dialing the wrong number, so you can safely tell them that is the problem. You might even be proactive and call the sender and make sure they have the right phone number in their contact list.
You should acriuqe a free or paid internet fax service. Try searching online using the keywords: internet fax service providers Take note a free internet faxing service is suitable for personal use only while a paid service is suitable for either personal/business use.

In 1980, Volkswagen built the ARVW concept car, essentially the most aerodynamic vehicle it has ever created. A rear spoiler often comes standard in most sports autos and resembles the form of a raised wing in the rear of the vehicle. The primary objective of a rear spoiler in a car's design is to counteract lift, thereby rising stability at larger speeds. In order to achieve the lowest attainable drag, air should move across the streamlined body of the automobile with out coming into contact with any areas of possible turbulence. A rear spoiler design that stands off the rear deck lid will increase downforce, reducing raise at high speeds whereas incurring a drag penalty. Flat spoilers, presumably angled slightly downward may scale back turbulence and thereby scale back the coefficient of drag.
This was the first interactive multimedia encyclopedia , with the vast majority of articles being accessible through an interactive map of the UK. The user interface and part of the content of the Domesday Project were emulated on a web site till 2008. Many parodies goal Wikipedia's openness and susceptibility to inserted inaccuracies, with characters vandalizing or modifying the online encyclopedia project's articles.

Some commentators suggest that Wikipedia could also be dependable, but that the reliability of any given article isn't clear.

The perceived toxic attitudes and tolerance of violent and abusive language are additionally causes put forth for the gender gap in Wikipedia editors. In 2014, a female editor who requested a separate area on Wikipedia to discuss bettering civility had her proposal referred to by a male editor utilizing the words "the best approach to keep away from being known as a cunt is to not act like one". Edit-a-thons have been held to encourage female editors and increase the coverage of ladies's topics. The Wikipedia article about Virgin Killer—a 1976 album from the German rock band Scorpions—includes a picture of the album's original cover, which depicts a unadorned prepubescent girl. The original launch cowl triggered controversy and was changed in some international locations.
This is done to direct airflow round and over the vehicle rather than allowing air to travel underneath it. Contoured deflectors, or tire spats, are sometimes made as part of the front bumper to be able to direct airflow around the tire without having any increase to the outward move. Fender skirts are sometimes made as extensions of the physique panels of the vehicles and cover the whole wheel wells. Much like clean wheel covers this modification reduces the drag of the automobile by stopping any air from turning into trapped within the wheel properly and assists in streamlining the physique of the automobile. Fender skirts are more commonly discovered on the rear wheel wells of a vehicle as a result of the tires don't flip and the design is way simpler. This is usually seen in autos corresponding to the first technology Honda Insight.

Lift is an aerodynamic force that acts perpendicular to the airflow across the physique of the vehicle. Too much raise may cause the automobile to lose highway traction which could be very unsafe. Lowering the drag coefficient comes from streamlining the exterior body of the car. Streamlining the physique requires assumptions about the surrounding airspeed and characteristic use of the car. Modern F1 cars use a Drag Reduction System to, because the name suggest, reduce drag, laying the spoilers down right into a more aerodynamically efficient position. Some street cars have systems that do it routinely–just like the Ferrari 488–but the McLaren P1 has a big button on the steering wheel so the driving force can do it manually. But the record for the bottom-drag wheeled car of all time goes to a a lot stranger trying machine than any of the others featured in the gallery above.

A good portion of the information articles revealed there now are original.
These days, everybody wants a car that looks sleek and is gasoline-environment friendly. This is why so many car producers are targeted on making aerodynamic cars. In order for automakers to achieve the desired aerodynamics that buyers crave, they've got to reduce drag and other causes of instability at excessive speeds.

The reduction of drag in road vehicles has led to increases within the high pace of the vehicle and the car's fuel efficiency, in addition to many different performance traits, such as dealing with and acceleration. The two primary components that impression drag are the frontal space of the automobile and the drag coefficient. The drag coefficient is a unit-less worth that denotes how a lot an object resists movement via a fluid similar to water or air. A potential complication of altering a automobile's aerodynamics is that it could cause the vehicle to get an excessive amount of carry.
To determine group consensus, editors can raise issues at appropriate neighborhood boards, or seek outside input by way of third opinion requests or by initiating a extra general neighborhood discussion often known as a "request for remark". Fewer editors turn into directors than in years past, in part as a result of the process of vetting potential Wikipedia directors has become more rigorous. Wikipedia's preliminary anarchy integrated democratic and hierarchical parts over time. An article just isn't thought of to be owned by its creator or some other editor, nor by the subject of the article. In 2010, Daniel Tosh inspired viewers of his present, Tosh.0, to go to the present's Wikipedia article and edit it at will. On a later episode, he commented on the edits to the article, most of them offensive, which had been made by the viewers and had prompted the article to be locked from editing.

Unlike conventional encyclopedias, Wikipedia follows the procrastination principle concerning the safety of its content. It started virtually totally open—anyone might create articles, and any Wikipedia article could be edited by any reader, even those that didn't have a Wikipedia account. As a end result, any article could contain inaccuracies corresponding to errors, ideological biases, and nonsensical or irrelevant textual content. Other collaborative on-line encyclopedias had been attempted earlier than Wikipedia, however none were as profitable.

Ukrainian Cargo Airways was an airline based in Kyiv, Ukraine. It was a state-owned company operating charter passenger and cargo services. It also overhauled, leased and sold aircraft, engines and aviation equipment. Its main bases were Kyiv Boryspil International Airport (KBP) and Zaporizhzhia International Airport (OZH).

History
The airline was established in July 1997 and started operations in January 1998 using decommissioned aircraft of the Ukrainian air force. Since 1998, UCA have been used to fulfil UN programmes in Yugoslavia (Kosovo) and Africa (Sierra Leone, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo) to deliver relief cargo, transport peacekeeping troops and evacuate refugees. It is 100% owned by the State Property Fund of Ukraine. The airline was shut down by the Ukrainian civil aviation authority over safety concerns in 2009. The carrier had also been blacklisted by the European Union.

Banned Status
Ukrainian Cargo Airways had appeared on the list of prohibited E.U. air carriers which means that it was banned for safety reasons from operating services of any kind within the E.U. In November 2009 the European Commission removed Ukrainian Cargo Airways from this list.

Fleet
The Ukrainian Cargo Airways fleet consisted of the following aircraft (at August 2006):

3 Antonov An-12
2 Antonov An-26
19 Ilyushin Il-76MD
2 Ilyushin Il-76
1 Tupolev Tu-154B-2

Incidents
 On 8 May 2003, a chartered Ukrainian Cargo Airways Ilyushin Il-76 was en route to Lubumbashi while transporting hundreds of soldiers and their families when the cargo door suddenly flung open in mid air, sucking out hundreds of people to their deaths. Survivors had to cling to ropes and netting on the plane. The plane managed to return to Kinshasha with ±40 survivors. Officials confirmed the deaths of 7 people on board, however survivors claimed that as high as 200 people may have been killed.
 On 4 October 2007, a Canadian Forces chartered Ukrainian Cargo Airways Ilyushin Il-76 flying from Keflavik International Airport, Iceland struck some trees while on approach to CFB Trenton. The aircraft managed to land safely, but initially, the incident was not reported by the flight crew until base officials noticed wood debris on the runway and went to inspect the aircraft. The inspection revealed marks on the belly of the aircraft from the impact, minor damage to the main landing gear.

In the Media

A Ukrainian Cargo Airways Ilyushin Il-76 was seen in the third series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, being used to smuggle drugs inside Lada cars.

Aleman was convicted of killing Teamster steward William Logan in 1972, but was a suspect in more than 20 other killings, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Sunday.
He was serving a 100- to 300-year sentence, having been convicted in 1997 in his second trial for the killing -- a trial conducted 20 years after his first trial for the murder, which ended with an acquittal.
The second trial was granted for the same crime as prosecutors argued the "double jeopardy" rule -- barring a second trial for the same crime -- did not apply because the judge in the first trial was found to have been bribed, which implied that trial did not put the defendant in any jeopardy.
"He was the hammer of the Chicago mob," the Chicago Tribune quoted former FBI agent Lee Flosi as saying about Aleman. "You never want him sitting in the back seat of your car."
Aleman died in the Hill Correctional Center in Galesburg, Ill. He was 71.
Illinois Department of Corrections spokeswoman Sharyn Elman said "there was no foul play" in the mobster's death.

OVERALL payment performance of Singapore firms hit an all-time low in 2020, the Singapore Commercial Credit Bureau (SCCB) said on Tuesday.
This came as the annual average proportion of prompt payments fell to less than half of total payment transactions to 40.74 per cent in 2020, from 49.05 per cent in 2019.
The average proportion of slow payments rose to 44.72 per cent in 2020, from 37.68 per cent in 2019. Meanwhile, partial payments hit an all-time high in 2020 at 14.54 per cent, up from 13.27 per cent in 2019.
Prompt payments in Q4 2020 inched up by 2.9 percentage points to 41.3 per cent, from 38.4 per cent the quarter before. Year on year, prompt payments fell by 4.9 percentage points from 46.2 per cent.
Slow payments were down by one percentage point to 43.2 per cent in Q4 2020 from 44.2 per cent in Q3 2020 and increased by 3.4 percentage points from 39.8 per cent the year before.
Meanwhile, partial payments dipped slightly by 1.9 percentage points to 15.6 per cent in Q4 2020 from 17.5 per cent in Q3 2020 and rose by 1.5 percentage points from 14 per cent in Q4 2019.
All five sectors saw slight improvements to slow payments quarter on quarter. However, slow payments deteriorated across all industries year on year.
The construction sector saw the highest proportion of slow payments - accounting for more than half of payment transactions in Q4 2020. The remaining sectors - manufacturing, retail, services and wholesale trade - saw decreases in slow payments.
D&B Singapore's chief executive Audrey Chia said: "Although the Singapore economy is expected to return to growth this year, we anticipate the continuing trend of improvement in payment performance to be gradual after hitting an all-time low in 2020."
D&B Singapore compiled the study figures by monitoring, through the SCCB, more than 2.4 million payment transactions of firms.
Prompt payment refers to when 90 per cent or more of total bills are paid within the agreed payment terms, while slow payment refers to when less than 50 per cent of total bills are paid within the agreed terms.
Partial payment refers to when between 50 and 90 per cent of total bills are paid within the agreed payment terms.

Thon Maker fighting for NBA career, could have path to roster spot with Cleveland Cavaliers
Updated: Dec. 07, 2020, 5:00 a.m. | Published: Dec. 07, 2020, 5:00 a.m.
Thon Maker has been reunited with Andre Drummond in ClevelandNBAE via Getty Images
By Chris Fedor, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Andre Drummond wrapped his arm around a seated Thon Maker and began singing.
Reunited and it feels so good...
Drummond and Maker are teammates once again. For now, anyway.
Maker, the Milwaukee Bucks' 10th overall pick in 2016, entered the league with an alluring mix of size and skill -- an energetic 7-footer with quick feet who could swat shots and bury face-up jumpers. But after two and a half seasons, the Bucks gave up, sending him to Detroit, where he played behind -- and sometimes with -- Drummond. A little more than a year into that experiment, Detroit lost faith as well, refusing to extend a qualifying offer and letting him explore all options on the open market.
It was frigid. Like winters in Canada, where Maker spent the final two years of high school, continuing his evolution from soccer player to prep basketball sensation. No mid-level exception. No guaranteed contract.
With minimal free agency interest, Maker agreed to a camp deal with the Cavaliers, his chance to fight for one of the final roster spots and, perhaps, revive his fizzling career.
"You have to come in with hunger and that's my mentality," Maker said Sunday. "Nothing is ever given, period. Even being the top 10 pick it wasn't given as well. I'm not coming in thinking I'm a top 10 now. I'm coming in aggressive like I was when I was a first year. I'm approaching it as if I just came out of college. Like I spent my last four years in college so that's like my mentality here now and you know, just play as hard as I can, and whatever happens, happens. I always trust in my work ethic."
Cavs head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has been impressed early in camp. Maker's length and athleticism have the Cavs envisioning him protecting the paint and rim -- two points of emphasis heading into the 2020-21 season. Maker's high basketball IQ and willingness to communicate have also stood out. On offense, he brings versatility -- able to roll to the basket or pop out to the perimeter. He can play the 4 or 5.
"His God-given length is impressive. That is helpful for us," Bickerstaff said. "And he's an unselfish dude and a hard worker. All of those things -- personality traits, character and skill set -- is what we took into account. Delly (Matthew Dellavedova) played with him. Dre played with him. We had guys who had first-hand knowledge of what kind of person he was and that impacts our decision.
"Some of these guys, it seems like they have been in the league forever and they're still 23 or 24 years old. It's a good thing and the best part of it is, and sometimes we get hit over the head with this, but we see a guy who is 21 or 22 years old in college and we're like, 'Oh s---, he's hit his ceiling.' At 24 or 25, guys have room to grow still. If you take the natural tools he has and just put some time and care into it, there's still room for improvement. That's our philosophy and approach. We're going to give him everything we've got while we have him and see where it goes -- with the idea that there's always room for growth in everybody."
The Cavs brought the maximum 20 players to training camp, but may only keep 14 heading into the season, wanting roster flexibility and a chance to assess the post-camp cut list.
Thirteen of the 20 players are on guaranteed contracts. Count them in. Dean Wade, who was a pleasant surprise at the minibubble, arrived with the inside track to the 14th spot, but his non-guaranteed pact makes it easier to move on. Matt Mooney and Lamar Stevens have two-way deals. Charles Matthews, Marques Bolden and Levi Randolph have Exhibit 10 clauses, which come with an optional bonus of up to $50,000 if the player doesn't make it in camp but is assigned to the team's G League affiliate. Then there's Maker, who is getting an extended look with backup center JaVale McGee not yet in Cleveland.
The Cavs are hoping McGee will join them soon. But there's no set date. That means they may need an extra big.
There's another factor to consider. While the Cavs look set at center heading into this season, having both Drummond and McGee locked in, that tandem is headed for free agency in 2021. It could be worth it for the Cavs to keep Maker, 23, as a developmental center.
"If our roster is fully healthy I think we keep the guy or guys who show they have earned it, regardless of position," Bickerstaff said when asked about what will go into that decision. "If, knock on wood, injuries or COVID were to spike then I think you kind of fit for need. Right now, my mind is if guys earn it then they deserve the spot."
Bickerstaff also said there's more importance attached to the final few spots given the unpredictable nature of this coming season. The NBA won't have the benefit of the successful Disney bubble to protect from the COVID-19 pandemic. There are already more than 40 positive tests leaguewide. On Sunday, the Portland Trail Blazers shut down their practice facility because of three positives.
"There's the expectation we're going to have to do some different things lineups and roster wise," Bickerstaff said. "I think the teams that have the most secure depth and the teams that have the deepest knowledge of their playbook 1-17 are going to be the teams that can end up being the most successful. If you have to throw somebody in who hasn't done what you're going to ask them to do, it doesn't just impact that person, it impacts the entire team. We're spending a ton of time with everybody to make sure they've got a grasp on what we're trying to do. Because there is going to come a time when guys have to fill in and we need them to play to a certain level."
Competition is a buzzword. The starting small forward job is up for grabs. So are the last few spots on the roster -- if the Cavs keep the max. But given his pedigree, upside, team needs and prior relationships with fellow Aussies Dante Exum and Dellavedova as well as Drummond, Maker will get a long look.
"I take this moment, and this experience, and learn from it every single day," Maker said. "And I feel like it's a blessing in terms of the situation I'm in now, because I kind of know what I have to bring, or what I have to do, in order to advance or in order to make it in this league."

The Unknown Judith Wright, by Georgina Arnott
Settle back with a nice cup of coffee and something to nibble on: this is a long post, but the book deserves it.
Judith Wright (1915-2000) was an award-winning and much-loved Australian poet, author, environmental activist and campaigner for Aboriginal land rights. In my battered copy of The 1972 Penguin Book of Australian Verse edited by Harry Heseltine editor, she is described as
…one of the few writers to enjoy unchallenged pre-eminence in contemporary Australian poetry. Since the appearance of her first book, The Moving Image, in 1946, she has been recognised, both at home and abroad, as a poet of great accomplishments. Born in the New England area of New South wales, for may years she lived with her family at Mt Tamborine, Queensland. (p.15)
At the time Heseltine was writing, Judith Wright was almost sixty, and living in a bush shack outside Canberra.
I bought Georgina Arnott's bio of Judith Wright at the Williamstown Literary Festival in 2017 to complement Fiona Capp's My Blood's Country: In the footsteps of Judith Wright, which I reviewed here. There are also other books about her life, notably South of My Days (1998) by Veronica Brady, and there is also her autobiography Half a Lifetime (Text Publishing, 2001). But as Arnott explained at the festival, these works don't adequately interrogate the contradictions in Judith Wright's life. Her parents weren't just wealthy pastoralists, they were from the squattocracy, and the mythology about their lives and achievements shaped the poet's life more than she wanted to acknowledge.
This is the blurb from Fishpond:
Judith Wright (1915-2000) remains a giant figure within Australian art, culture and politics. Her 1946 collection of poetry, The Moving Image, revolutionised Australian poetry. She helped to establish the modern Australian environmental movement and was a key player in early campaigns for Aboriginal land rights. A friend and confidante of artists, writers, scholars, activists and policy makers – she remains an inspiration to many. And yet, as Georgina Arnott is able to show in this major new work, the biographical picture we have had of this renowned poet-activist has been very much a partial one. This book presents a more human figure than we have previously seen, and concentrates on Wright's younger years. New material allows us to hear, directly, thrillingly, the feisty voice of a young Judith Wright and forces us to reconsider the woman we thought we knew.
The biographical picture we have had isn't just a partial one, it's also somewhat skewed by taking for granted what Wright had to say about herself, particularly with regard to the influence of her parents. Drawing on her autobiographical writings, biographers have tended to take at face value that her early life in a wealthy pastoral family served only as a launching pad for rebellion. Arnott's research shows that this is not the whole picture. In particular, Arnott's thesis is that Wright didn't fully acknowledge that her family was complicit in the brutal dispossession of the Indigenous people from the land that became the Hunter Valley, nor that her university years had influenced her thinking.
Along the way, I learned some interesting aspects of history. The early chapters of The Unknown Judith Wright are an interesting introduction to squatter history in New South Wales, and the domestic sphere in particular:
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century the home increasingly figured as a private sphere governed by women. In her account of the ideology informing the architecture of the modern Australian home, Kerreen Reiger describes the early century, middle-class ideal of 'a peaceful home in which a clear-cut sexual division of labour existed between husband and wife [and where the] children were orderly, "well-governed"'. In the Wright household Ethel [Judith's mother] spent almost her entire time inside the house and Phillip spent most of his time outside it, including at Country Party meetings. This Judith registered to the extent that all of her childhood memories were arranged accordingly. 'I find it all falls into inside and outside for me. Inside was women…My brothers used to follow the male side,' which I always thought of internally as the outside.' (p.78)
The etiquette for the squattocracy meant that Ethel had a lonely time when she became chronically ill.
Though Ethel lived amongst many people, including male and female servants, and farmers on small neighbouring plots, none were considered appropriate social companions. Her social milieu was made up of large land-owning families of New South Wales and Queensland who were, by dint of their land, set at great distances apart from each other. Judith observed that 'one of the chief factors in the loneliness of the women of the "New England aristocracy' was just this refusal to admit any outsider even to afternoon tea." She explained, "my mother spent much of her time in solitude. It was not done to talk to the house "girls" and a housewife who was not well enough to do much work about the hosue or in the garden was doubly isolated." (p.77-78)
For reasons I don't need to explain, I don't usually have much sympathy for pastoralists, but this image of a sick woman marooned for years in loneliness by the snobberies of her class is poignant.
And then there was the impact on Judith: then as now, it was expected that the female child of the family would adopt a nurturing role to care for her ailing mother. Judith resented this, and then she felt guilty about her resentment…
Arnott explores Wright's lack of acknowledgement of her university years in depth. Most of us who've been to university—at least in the Arts faculty—would acknowledge, I am sure, that our lecturers and the people we met, influenced us in various ways. But Judith Wright apparently denied that she was influenced by her academic studies at all. Arnott's investigations into this part of Judith's life covers two whole chapters called 'The Shaping of an Intellect' and 'Campus Literary Discussion', which contradict the view of her biographer Veronica Brady in South of My Days (1998) that Judith's innate abilities led her to critique conservative aspects of her university curriculum. Arnott writes that there is scant evidence that Judith did question it. Brady's claim is not supported by an examination of the university course Judith was taking or by a close reading of her early poetry. Of course, by the time Judith came to write her autobiography Judith's own interests lay in social change rather than in lectures that took place fifty years before. But though the point is made politely, Arnott notes that Brady's depiction of Judith's lecturers relies almost completely on Judith's unchecked recollections. [1] And what Brady failed to unearth (or to acknowledge?) was that the subject Judith failed was Australian history, because she didn't sit the exam.
Why not? Well, it was taught by Professor Stephen Roberts whose field of research presented an unflattering analysis of inequality within early colonial society and the rapacious behaviour of squatter families like Judith's. (His stance was not at all commensurate with Judith's 1959 history The Generations of Men.) Likewise, Judith's antipathy towards Roberts later expressed itself in a misleading representation of his treatment of Aborigines in his books. Like most historians of the period he was remiss, but he did acknowledge that the land was occupied rather than terra nullius, and that the Aborigines did not cede their sovereignty. I think that a contemporary author fictionalising Judith Wright's life could write a very interesting chapter about this hostility to Stephen Roberts!
What was also interesting to me in the chapter called 'Becoming Modern' was that Judith was very quickly transplanted from her lodgings outside the university into the University of Sydney's Women's College, after her father deputed a friend to investigate her risqué living arrangements. Apparently, in 1934, when Wright was admitted to university, it was unusual for women to live by themselves, and the university imposed restrictions on its students' living arrangements:
…stating that 'no student shall be allowed to attend the lectures of classes of the university unless he dwells' with a parent or guardian, a relative who has been approved by the University, in an educational establishment such as a college, or in a boarding house licensed by the university. Judith was probably risking her place at the University by staying at the Glebe house. (p.114)
Can you imagine any university trying to control student living arrangements these days??
What's more, it appears that Judith's admission may have been partly due to her parents' money and influence. The College at that time, under the Principal Susannah Williams, was trying to transition from being a social conduit which enabled the children of wealthy families to meet, to an atmosphere of 'intellectual enquiry'. But it was an uphill battle to reduce the number of unmatriculated female student admissions and to insist that residents had to pass their university subjects. Judith, when she was forced by her father into the respectable environment of the college, had neither matriculated nor passed all her subjects, and it's not clear why she was admitted there in the first place. However, Arnott's research into Wright' academic record shows that she became a more serious student in her final two years due in part to the mentorship of the incoming new Principal Camilla Wedgwood. [Why the ADB has a photo of Wedgwood in uniform when her war service was only a year of a life full of other much more significant achievements I do not know.]
The main part of this book explores the ways in which Judith engaged (if at all) with radical ideas at university, how she was changed intellectually by her time there, and ultimately whether she was 'born' or 'made'. In 'A Very Model Student' Arnott explores the differences between her research into the roles women had at the student newspaper Honi Soit and Judith's not entirely warranted scorn for the limited opportunities that were there. Of course it was not progressive by today's standards, but that it published both feminist and patriarchal views wasn't acknowledged by Wright, writing her autobiography many years later, and she was not as powerless as she made out because in 1936 she was a committee member of The Arts Journal.
The idea that she spent years working on the newspaper with no recognition is an overreach. (p.135)
I was also very interested in the chapter which explored the university curriculum because it offers insight into Australia's cultural history. Judith was a student during the development of modernism and the emergence of nationalism in Australian literature, and Arnott's thorough research shows that her time at Sydney University gave her access to what were then élite ideas about what Australian literature could be.
The chapter which analyses early anonymous poems and those with pseudonyms is an indication of how exhaustive Arnott's research was. Arnott's analysis shows that some of Judith's writing in this period mocked those less well-off or less sophisticated than she was. There are possible reasons for this: not wanting to appear too earnest, or wanting to fit in, or even intended as sarcasm or parody. A teenage poem, 'A Call to Arms' was described by Veronica Brady as 'for once' succumbing to imperial feeling, but the identification of an anonymous 'Poem 2' shows that 'A Call to Arms' was not the sole poem on this theme. Rather, it extends the notion of public duty and self-sacrifice in war service to include settler hardships. It's obvious why Judith might not have wanted to revisit these early written pieces when she was older and lionised for her left-wing attitudes. The point is that the image most of us have of Judith Wright and her politics is not the whole story.
This a more scholarly version of Wright's life than Fiona Capp's My Blood's Country I've read, and there's a lot to take in, but it's an intriguing adjunct to what I've read before. For me, it raises once again the thorny issues surrounding whether it's ever actually possible to condense a life within the pages of a book, and how much of an autobiography can ever really be 'true'.
[1] To be fair to Veronica Brady, in an undated article at the NLA, she acknowledged that
Truth in biography – and even more in autobiography on which I rely a good deal – is not synonymous with mere fact.
If the 2019 VCE literature text list is any guide, students don't read Wright's poetry these days, but you can read some of her poems here.

I have a copy of Judith Wright's 'Collected Poems' on the bookshelf behind me. I first read her poetry at high school, and like to dip into it again from time to time. Of course I will have to read this book. Of course ;-) Thank you for another wonderful review.

I was worried it was too long, but I couldn't see how to do it in any other way…
By: Lisa Hill on October 13, 2019
I think the length is necessary for explanation. Can we ever get a complete picture of such a complex, layered person as Judith Wright?
Or anyone, really!
I mean, we all consciously edit our lives, and we forget things, and remember them differently to other people who were there at the same time…
Australians unwillingness to subject the squattocracy to class analysis has long been a problem. So thank you for your interesting review of what is obviously a thoughtful biography. I have Generations of Men near the top of the pile at home and this gives me a context in which to read it.
By: wadholloway on October 13, 2019
I have a copy of TGOM too, but I've never read it. In a way, I wish I'd read it before this, because I know I'll read it differently now…
Thanks for that extensive review. I have read Veronica Brady's biography and this latest will be an interesting contrast. I have always enjoyed Judith's poetry but mindful of her privileged position. I believe I started TGOM but never completed it. And yes a class analysis is well overdue. They seem to be the untouchables.

Thanks, Fay:)
I'll have a hunt around at Honest history to see if they've reviewed any histories of the squattocracy…

The United Way and The Enquirer have partnered on the United for Our Neighbors Campaign to raise resources to help federal workers address vital needs.
While the government has re-opened, the damage from the longest federal shutdown in history is long lasting. Families from every neighborhood across the region have been adversely affected. Until they receive their next paycheck, many will still be in need of help to pay for basic needs like food, gas and prescriptions. In times like these, it can seem like there is little that can be done, to bring a positive change in all the hurt, confusion and need in our nation, and our region. But we know that we can make a difference if we work together.
United Way exists to unite our community to help those in need. This is one of those times, so we've partnered with The Enquirer to launch the United for Our Neighbors Campaign to raise resources to provide immediate support to help federal workers address vital needs.
In less than 48 hours after putting a call out to our business community, more than 19 generous companies have answered the call to help. Already, more than $100,000 has been donated to go towards providing gift cards for federal workers and contractors to use for food, gas and other basic needs.
Please join us and donate today at www.uwgc.org/HELPFED or text HELPFED to 71777. One hundred percent of your donation will be converted into gift cards to directly help those affected by the shutdown meet immediate needs. We are working to raise as much funding as possible by midnight on Tuesday, Jan. 29, so that the support gets to those who need it next week. Please give any amount you can – your donation will directly impact the life of a neighbor right now.
Federal workers and contractors can sign up to receive a gift card by www.uwgc.org/helpfedsignup. To be eligible, federal workers and contractors must bring their original and valid PIV badge to receive the gift card at the site selected.
Let's come together to help our neighbors. We are so much stronger when we unite together.
Ross Meyer is interim CEO of the United Way of Greater Cincinnati. Eddie Tyner is president of The Enquirer and Cincinnati.com and a United Way board member.

From David to Goliath – Xiaomi India is Changing
Here I am, This is Mi, and I am growing up!
by: Nimish Dubey - Last updated on: June 11th, 2018
Celebrities? Check.
Multiple devices? Check.
Major offline presence? Check.
High profile communications strategy with ads and billboards? Check.
Xiaomi has been ticking off those boxes over the past few months as it consolidates its position as the numero uno in the Indian smartphone market. To someone relatively disconnected from the smartphone market, this would seem business as usual. After all, these are the very steps that most companies follow to push their products and services in the Indian market.
Fair enough. But then these are also the very steps that Xiaomi had been steering clear of – and insisting that it would not follow them – in its early days in the Indian market. We have lost count of the number of times the company had claimed that it would not indulge in high profile marketing campaigns and that it was a small startup which did not have the sort of budgets that bigger companies did. And also that one of the reasons for the amazingly affordable price tags of its phones was the fact that the company did not spend heavily in promotions in marketing.
"Yeah, right," an executive in a rival company snorts. "They got Katrina Kaif to endorse the Y1 and Y2 free of cost, I reckon?" Kaif is one of the highest paid actors in Bollywood, and while we have no access to the actual numbers, it is safe to assume that getting her to endorse Xiaomi's selfie range must have cost a pretty penny. A far cry from the company whose bestselling phone of 2017 was promoted by actually using its own employees as models! No, it still does not seem to be spending anywhere as much as some of its rivals are, but it seems to broadly following a similar approach.
We have remarked about Xiaomi's change in strategy in the past and had wondered if it had just been a temporary phase, and an attempt to drive home the "we are number one" message to give the brand a slightly "premium" feel, rather than the affordable one which it has. However, with every passing day, it would seem that Xiaomi in India is now increasingly beginning to follow the very rulebook that it so brilliantly tore up to reinvent the market. We are seeing multiple devices that seem to overlap and rival each other, a distinct offline push and of course, communication campaigns that are tinged with celebrity as much as products.
Is this a good thing? That is not for us to say. This is, after all, a marketplace in which change is, to repeat a well-worn cliché, the only constant. "The tactics that made you number one might not be good enough to keep you there," an executive from one of Xiaomi's rivals told us. "Until 2016, Xiaomi were the underdogs, and it was ok to be seen as a small company. Now they are number one. They have to LOOK and ACT as if they are big. How do they do that? Launch more products, have a greater offline presence, and of course, do more celeb tie-ups!"
Mind you, this change of stance is not going down too well with some of the Xiaomi faithful. A number of fans have expressed their annoyance at the company getting "Samsunged." That said, it is impossible to argue against numbers and the numbers say that almost one in every three smartphones sold in the country is a Xiaomi.

It is also impossible to argue against the fact that the Xiaomi we see today is a rather different creature from the one that we had seen in 2014. It was a smaller outfit with fewer products but one that fought as much on its price as its product quality. Today, the company has factories in India and is manufacturing in the country, and has perhaps released more products in the last year than it did in its first three in the country. However, it is now being seen increasingly as a price player, as most of its devices come in the affordable mid-segment category – it has released just one smartphone priced above Rs 20,000 in almost two years (the Mi Mix 2).
Theorists would say that this is limiting its ability to earn larger margins at the premium segment, but on the flip side, the numbers seem to prove that Xiaomi's decision to focus on the budget segment has been an effective one. "In the end, it is about selling the most phones you can, not about having a Rs 50,000 phone in your portfolio," as one retailer put it rather bluntly. On the sales front, Xiaomi certainly has shut its critics up. Thoroughly. Mind you, some analysts feel that the company is easier to attack now than in the past. "They are mainly about specs and price now," one of our colleagues who has been in the tech media for a number of years now, remarked. "The 'aura' that they had of being very different is slowly slipping. No one talks as much about design, textures and values now. It is mostly about specs, make in India and pricing. Those can be matched."
Easier said than done, though. In spite of some very serious efforts from the likes of Asus, Honor and Oppo (who some are accusing of being naïve – or deaf – enough to assume that Realme sounds like Redmi), there seem to be no major clouds on the Mi Horizon at the time of writing. And it would be naïve to assume that Manu Jain, a canny operator, does not have a few aces up his sleeve to deal out when the skies do darken. But one cannot help but feel that the more popular Xiaomi is getting, the less different it seems from the competition, no matter how thoroughly it outsells it.
Yes, Xiaomi India has changed. And might well continue to keep changing. It started out as the company that was unlike any other the Indian market had seen. And has now been the leading smartphone brand in the country for three straight quarters with a market share that is close to a third of the market. Those are two very different places to be. So a difference in approach and strategy is only to be expected.
Xiaomi in 2014 was David.
In 2018, it is trying to be a bit of a Goliath.
In 2014, it was the stiletto.
In 2018, it is trying to be a sledgehammer.
Yes, some fans might feel that the company is not being "true to its roots" but then the same has been said of a company which many believe Xiaomi models itself on. Some of its fans too keep complaining that it has changed and even betrayed its core principles, especially since the departure of a very high profile figure. But hey, the markets and consumers seem to disagree.
It is based in Cupertino. 'Nuff said.

E48 V3 software or Firmware ?
Post subject: E48 V3 software or Firmware ?
Hello everyone, I got E48 V3 ECU with V12 firmware.
I would like to connect to te PC but the dtawin software available on the website is not compatible with the firmware and the firmware V35.4 available on the site is for E48 version 4 to 8.
Does anyone have the firmware or software I need?
Post subject: Re: E48 V3 software or Firmware ?
Firmware is not user updatable as far as I know, as it would involve either a chip change or EEPROM etc.
The oldest DTAWin I can find on my computer is V27, which is 2001, so must be pretty close to them changing from DOS to Windows.
I tried the V27 version but it is still too recent.
I know but I do not have the .bin file corresponding to my model.
Do you know if I can flash with the V4 available on the internet.
If I have no other solution, do you have a link for DTADOS?
At one time I did have a 3.5" disc with it on it....but as you can appreciate, that's a hell of a long time ago. It may still exist somewhere, but no clue where.
You could try Alex, but as he only took over a few years ago, not sure if he has any legacy stuff that old, and I dont think Allan kept a lot of stuff either.
And you'd need a pretty old laptop to run the DOS software too.
Quick and perfect answer from alex.
He sent me the fimware and DTADOS.
DTADOS works perfectly with DOSBox.
Thank you very much to both of you, my ECU is alive.

Ireland President Support Calls For Global Media Policy
In Breaking News, International News, National News, Reports
by our correspondent who is attending the congress in Ireland
President Higgins addressing the Delegates while the IFJ President Watches on
The President of Ireland, Mr. Michael D Higgins, has stressed the need to protect media diversity and pluralism through a global media policy.
Higgins stated this at the opening ceremony of the ongoing International Federation of Journalists' World Congress in Dublin, Republic of Ireland.
President Higgins warned of the dangers ahead of practicing journalists if media policy that will protect the press is not developed to allow free press in a democratic society.
"Pluralism, real diversity and choice are critical and should never be reduced to a false choice between partisan media on ideological grounds, and news organizations chasing the same narrow commercial ground," President Higgins told over 300 delegates gathered at the historic Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin.
The President said that real pluralism "occurs at a granular level, within countries as much as within regions, reflecting religious and ethnic diversity, and the views and needs of rich and poor alike. Governments and civil society need to keep this issue at the forefront of media policy, democracy, freedom, which economic growth depend on".
President Higgins said the recent reiteration of the principles of world press freedom day on 3 May by the member countries of UNESCO was an important act of solidarity.
He said if the commitment was to be of real value there must also be a commitment "to turn human rights aspirations in this area from aspirations into guarantees".
He outlined the challenges facing journalists including the concentration of ownership, the convergence of technologies, the fragmentation of audiences, the commodification of experience, are all elements of the changed circumstances in which journalism is, and will, be practiced.
"Journalists attempting to investigate and provide information on political and corporate corruption can often be hindered and intimidated by those with vested interests, including by use of violent means; which, if acceded to, would lead to a dangerous misrepresentation or even falsification of information which would not be in the interests of individual citizens and would obviously be detrimental to society at large," said President Higgins.
"The principle of diversity and pluralism which lies at the heart of the media must be protected if we are to promote a free flow of ideas and information and strengthen the exercise of freedom of expression around the world."
Earlier in his speech, President of the International Federation of Journalists, IFJ , Jim Boumelha, called for free and democratic media across the world. The theme of the IFJ Congress, which is hosted by the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) of the UK and Ireland is leading the global fight back.

1. "People with autism don't want or need friends": FALSE.
My son loves kids, he wants to participate and wants so badly to belong, he wants friends, loves to make connections. Yes he has a hard time with social skills, yes he is learning, yes he wants friends.
2. "People with autism don't have a sense of humor": FALSE.
We know so many kids and people with autism who are funny as hell. They laugh at things they find funny which we may or may not understand…but just like any other human being, some things are funny to certain people and not others. Evan loves to laugh at his daddy or sister being silly, he loves to laugh with our puppy and has one of the best laughs and giggles in the world.
3. "People with autism can't feel emotions": FALSE.
People with Autism have a hard time expressing feelings like "most" people, but this is not the same as not having feelings. Evan feels all the emotions sometimes even more intensely than most. He feels happiness, joy, sadness, loneliness, love, compassion, anger, and understanding. He knows when someone is talking about him – good or bad…even though he may not always be able to show it.
4. "All people with autism are savants": FALSE.
Just like other human being, some people with autism are extremely talented and extraordinarily good are some things…and others are not.
5. "People with autism are dangerous or dumb": FALSE.
People/children with autism are misunderstood. The "stimming" (examples: flapping hands, jumping, twirling, counting things, repetitiveness of a same action, etc" ) is a way to release the overwhelming feelings of too much sensory information at once or a way to express their nervousness/anxiety …these "odd" movements may look scary but mostly they are completely innocent and more of way used to calm themselves down.
Be KIND. Be PATIENT…you can't "see" autism just by looking at someone…Sometimes, the best way to help is to be compassionate and kind.
Living with autism is not an easy journey…a supportive community makes all the difference in our world. We are blessed with an amazing family, wonderful neighbors and loving and inclusive friends…you know who you are.

Perfect for those little items, this simple and clever mason jar project makes for an attractive display while providing easy access to the bathroom products you use every day.
A fun, rustic, rope-supported DIY bathroom storage shelf looks great and makes good use of the space above the toilet. You can assemble your own this weekend with easy-to-find materials and a little know-how.
Constructed from inexpensive canister-shaped boxes that have been outfitted with knobs and adorned with custom labels, these vintage-inspired storage containers impart decorative appeal to toiletries.
Toilet paper is a bathroom necessity. Rather than hide it, why not embrace its white, geometric form with a low-tech storage-display approach?
No woodworking skills are required to transform craft store crates into versatile, space-saving wall storage units with handmade aesthetic appeal.
When you've run out of floor space, the only direction to go is up. Installing an above-the-door shelf is a smart move, especially in a small bath that happens to have a tall ceiling.

Your spouse or ex-made "mistakes" that caused you to understate the tax liability on your joint tax return.
You didn't know or had no reason to know about the understatement.
It would be unfair to make you liable for the tax understatement.
In case you have not filed a joint return and your signatures were forged you have to prove the same. You can then request the IRS to cancel the joint return so that you are liable for your tax only. It must be less than two years since the IRS first attempted to collect this tax debt from you. If you are requesting a refund for taxes paid, you must file the request within 3 years after the date the tax return is filed or 2 years following the payment of tax, whichever is later. If these above conditions are met you should be able to apply for innocent spouse relief. Form 8875 is used to apply for innocent spouse relief. In case your spouse is dead, divorced or separated you will need to provide documents related to that.

School leadership changes: Michael Bryan named Leon High principal; Billy Epting promoted
Bryan is one of six new principals announced Monday, all of whom still need school board approval.
Casey Chapter
Billy Epting is leaving the principal's office at Leon High School to become the Leon School District's director of elementary schools.
That was among several leadership changes announced Monday by current Superintendent of Schools Rocky Hanna, who was the Leon High principal before Epting.
Epting will be replaced by Kate Sullivan Elementary principal Michael Bryan, who's returning to Leon. He was assistant principal there before serving as Kate Sullivan principal for five years.
"I have known Mr. Bryan for all 35 years of my career. He has a wealth of high school experience and knows Leon well," Epting wrote in an email to Leon parents. "I am extremely confident in Leon's future."
Other new principals for the 2021-22 school year, which will go before the Leon County School Board for approval at the June 15 meeting, include:
Julie Lawson to Kate Sullivan Elementary School
Lawson served as assistant principal of R. Frank Nims Middle school for two years. Prior to that, she spent three years as assistant principal of Deerlake Middle School.
"It has been an honor to be here and to work with all of your wonderful children," Kate Sullivan Principal Michael Bryan wrote in an email to parents. "I know (Julie Lawson) will do well and that you will support her as you have supported me."
Tiffany Williams to Apalachee Elementary School
Williams will serve as principal of Apalachee after her eight-year run as principal of SAIL High School.
Apalachee's current principal, Jenifer Ricardo, will go on to serve as principal of Adult and Community Education Transitions & Adults with Disabilities.
Michael Holmes to Chaires Elementary School
Holmes will serve as principal of Chaires Elementary after his two years as assistant principal of Rickards High School. He also served eight years as assistant principal at Elizabeth Cobb Middle School.
Michelle Prescott, who spent 14 years at Chaires, will move to district offices to oversee Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) programs.
Maurice Stokes to John G. Riley Elementary School
Stokes, previously principal of James Shanks Middle School in Gadsden County, will become principal of Riley Elementary. Riley's current principal, April Knight, will move to district offices to oversee Title 1 programming.
Shannon Haire to Ruediger Elementary School
Haire will take over as principal of Ruediger as current principal Sally Stephens retires.

> Letter J > Flag of Japan
The explanation for the symbols of the Japanese Flag
The flag of Japan is a red circle centered on a white background. Its common name is Hinomaru, which means "solar disk flag". Its use has been related since the thirteenth century, but it only became the national flag of Japan in 1868, after Meiji�s revolution. The Emperor then resumed his powers and Japan finally became a great nation. This sequence of events is told in a book by Ernest Satow: A diplomat in Japan. In fact, the arrival of this flag has its origins in the donatation of a solar disk ??by the priest Nichiren to the Emperor, while the Mongols tried to invade the country in the thirteenth century. This symbol will then be established as protective and take its place on the flag. Representations of the solar disk also appears in works of art the following centuries, especially those that evoke a battle. It was finally adopted by law in 1999.
National Japanese Flag
You can download it in different sizes, in a decidedly modern design for your personal use, or for wider use. Japan's flag is available in 4 different sizes.
