Labor-intensive, yes, but not terribly complicated. And the good news is that with a few tools and a lot of elbow grease, you can fashion a handsome and durable board fence at a fraction of the contracted rate.
Use a good-quality board to build a basket weave fence. Boards full of knots may break easily when placed under the stress of basket weaving. A simple board fence is easy to build and can be quite attractive (Fig. 17). You can place the boards on one side or alternate them from side to side. The board fence provides both a barrier and privacy.
Natural life of wood. The first thing you should know in estimating the life of your fence is the natural life of your wood. The most commonly used wood types for fences are cedar, spruce, and pine. Depending on the species, cedar may last for about 15-30 years, spruce may last for about 4-7 years, and pine may last for about 5-12 years.
Some additional boards were added to the gate and fence posts as needed to hold the hinges I was using. The gate was propped into position and clamped in place with a few paint stirrers acting as temporary shims to provide a little stand-off on the hinge side.
There are many different styles and ways of doing this, depending on how you want your fence to look. The most basic is a board on board fence, where the fence boards are nailed (using a nail gun, nailed at the support boards) with the distance of less than one board between them.
Today I want to show you How To Make a Wood Fence Board Countertop. Or as we like to call it, 'The great laminate cover-up'. One day, my hubby and I got the wild idea to install some repurposed wood countertops on the bar in our sun room . We wanted to cover up the ugly laminate counter that was there with some cool old fence boards we had been hanging on to!
Place the batter boards just beyond where your fence corners will be located and run strings between them. Keep the strings 6 inches off of your property line. The strings help you line up the posts. Batter boards allow you adjust the strings easily. For more on batter boards, watch Making and Using Batter Boards.
For the lattice panel stops, you can safely rip up to three from each 1x6 common cedar board. However, if you rip only two strips out of a 1x6, you'll have enough width left over for the narrow sleeve parts. For our panels, we left 43 inches of post exposed above ground. ... Step Seventeen // How to Build a Wood Lattice Fence. Attach the Panel.
Attach End Fence Boards: Attach a vertical fence board plumb and at the desired height to the rails at each end of the fence with galvanized or stainless steel nails or screws. Establish Fence Board Height: Pull a string tight between the end boards of the fence to act as a guide for the remaining fence boards.

Stamford High students' yeast experiment wins NASA nod
By Liz Skalka
Published 4:31 pm EST, Thursday, February 15, 2018
Stamford High principal Raymond Manka and Toshiba senior manager Eddie Temistokle shake hands and exchange a $4,000 grant check inside the College and Career Center at Stamford High School in downtown Stamford, Conn. on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018. Stamford High students won a $4,000 grant from the Toshiba America Foundation for 13students to participate in the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program and will use the money to purchase a bioreactor used to simulate a low gravity environment. Their experiment will launch into space in June and land at the International Space Station. less

STAMFORD — A science experiment by Stamford High School students is getting ready to launch into space.
Traveling on a SpaceX Dragon rocket, their project will land at the International Space Station in June as part of the Student Spaceflight Experiment Program sponsored by NASA.
Stamford High was among the 30 finalists for the spaceflight program chosen last summer from a pool of about 11,000. The program asks students to think critically about problems encountered by humans in space, from retaining vision in low pressure to eating and making food — each topics that Stamford students proposed studying.
The winning experiment by 13 junior and senior boys tests how yeast breeds in space.
The final hurdle in securing a spot on the rocket is raising $24,000. The students have set up a GoFundMe page to help.
There were other projects that didn't make the final cut, but will still have their day in the lab.
This week, the Toshiba America Foundation awarded the school $4,000 for a bioreactor students can use to simulate space conditions. One group will use it to test how a certain drug affects pressure on eyesight in zero gravity. Even though that project didn't become a finalist, the students hope their findings can be used in space exploration.
"No martian colony or research station can exist if everyone is going blind," senior James Pease said. "The notion that our research project might have implications for future habitation of Mars is what drove us to stay up until 3 a.m. for weeks on end."
Having a bioreactor at Stamford High will give it the edge of a research institution, senior Augustus Doricko said.
"Our astronauts are losing their vision as they spend longer periods of time in space," he said. "We hope whatever research we draw from this can help us keep their vision intact."
Sue Dougherty, a special education teacher who also teaches chemistry and physics, is overseeing the spaceflight projects.
Since Stamford High doesn't have a lab period, students spent nights at the Ferguson Library working on their proposal, consulting with a mentor and collaborating as a team.
"You would think we were at a Fortune 500 company the way these boys conducted themselves," Dougherty said.

(ABC NEWS)- Rescue teams have found the four climbers who went missing on Mount Baker in Washington state on Sunday.
A Whatcom County Sheriff spokesperson said two 13-year-old Boy Scouts and two adult leaders were separated from their troop during an attempted summit of the 10,781-foot volcano.
They were last seen around 9 a.m. at the 10,000-foot level as they were climbing the Coleman Glacier, and they were reported missing at 4 p.m.
Whatcom County Search and Rescue were sent to the area and joined by volunteers who hiked the area Sunday night searching for the missing hikers.
The Naval Air Station Whidbey Island joined the search Monday morning and located the missing hikers, who said they spent the night in a cave near North Dome.
"Due to the conditions this was definitely one of the most challenging rescues I've been on," SAR mission commander Lt. Chris Pitcher said.
The Air Station worked with a U.S. Customs Air Unit that used an infrared system to find the missing climbers.
They did not report any injuries, but they were transported to St. Joseph's Hospital in Bellingham, Washington, to be treated for severe hypothermia.

Q: Hibernate - @OrderColumn - removing item causes exception I am new to Hibernate (5.2.3.final) and try to use it for a private project to get familiar with it. Database is MariaDB (5.5.53-0070) on a local server, Hibernate dialect is set to "org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect"
In my application, I have the two classes Year and Grade. Each year may contain several grades in an user-defined order. I try to let Hibernate save the order of the list of grades by using @OrderColumn (name="listOrder").
This works well so far, I just have the problem of reordering the list:
Whenever I remove an item from the list to insert it at another place in the same list, Hibernate creates an update statement that causes an QueryException.
My test code looks like this:
// grades is the list managed by Hibernate, it contains 4 entries
// here it is received from the first Year entry in the database

List<Grade> grades = ym.getElementAt(0).getGrades();
SessionUtil.beginTransaction();
Grade grade = grades.get(0);
grades.remove(0);  // remove from current position
SessionUtil.flush();
grades.add(grade);  // add to end of list
SessionUtil.commitTransaction();

During the flush (after removing the element), I get an exception, caused by an update statement:
Exception in thread "main" javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException: could not execute statement
     [... many lines ...]
Caused by: org.mariadb.jdbc.internal.util.dao.QueryException: Duplicate entry '10' for key 'UK_3o21jcxyfab7r95ikn8at88ih'
Query is: update Year_Grade set grades_id=? where Year_id=? and listOrder=?, parameters [10,1,0]

I understand, that the same grades_id may not exist twice in the same list (or even in any list). I just don't see, why Hibernate does it this way, instead of just updating the listOrder column for the year/grade combination.
In class Year I define the list that contains the Grade objects:
@OneToMany
@OrderColumn(name="listOrder")
private List<Grade> grades = new DataObjectList<Grade>();

public List<Grade> getGrades() {
    return grades;
}

In class Grade I have no variable pointing back to Year, since I always access data in only one direction (from Year to Grade to Subject to ...)
I have already been reading the online documentation on the Hibernate or JBoss website and have used Google for quite some hours now. All advice I found seemed to not cover my problem here.
Could it be the wrong dialect for the database? Did I miss some annotations to set?
Thanks in advance for any help...

The Chicago-born guitarist began playing at age twelve. While spending some formative time in Memphis, he started playing gospel music at age thirteen. By age fourteen, Johnson was playing in R&B groups. Although Johnson's parents brought him up hearing the music of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Joe Williams, and other artists of that era, it was not until 1967 that Johnson was formally introduced to jazz by hearing guitarist Wes Montgomery. In 1969, Johnson and his family then moved back to Chicago where he developed a reputation on the south side as a good local jazz guitarist. In 1976, he went on the road with jazz organist Jack McDuff and was called to work with vocalist, Donny Hathaway in 1977.
In 1979, Johnson began playing with jazz pianist, Ramsey Lewis. And in 1985, jazz legend, Joe Williams added Johnson to his regular group. Johnson's musical roots run deep into gospel, blues, and jazz. His strongest and earliest influences were Kenny Burrell, George Benson, and most significantly, Wes Montgomery. While influenced by these great guitarists, Johnson also cites the music of Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson, Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, big bands, and jazz orchestras as integral forces which shaped his sound and style.
In addition to his solo recording projects, Johnson has found time to record with the likes of Ramsey Lewis, vocalists, Joe Williams and Vanessa Ruben, and saxophonist Richie Cole among many others. He has performed with Nancy Wilson, Marlena Shaw, Angela Bofil, Dizzy Gillespie, the Boston Pops, Sonny Stitt, Freddie Hubbard, Grover Washington Jr., Stanley Turrentine, Dr. Billy Taylor, and organist Jimmy Smith, James Moody, David "Fathead" Newman, Terry Gibbs, Bobby Watson, Nicholas Payton, and many other great jazz artists.


Today I present another written interview with Marc Heighway of http://www.expertseobournemouth.co.uk/ I ask Marc about some of the challenges he faces as the owner of an SEO Agency.
What got you interested in helping others with Search Engine Optimization? Share Your Story.
When I left university I started my career off as a web designer in Bournemouth, UK. I worked my way up the ladder to become an online marketing manager and digital director for one of the world's leading technology companies working in Switzerland for a few years. As you can imagine, my whole career has been based around the web, generating traffic, increasing online revenues, as well as the user experience.
In my spare time I was always working on personal projects and had become very adept at creating affiliate marketing websites. The projects were doing really well, so by the middle of 2013 I decided that it was time to become my own boss and develop my own business.
I had been ranking my own websites for years, so it seemed like a natural progression to start up an SEO company to offer those services to other people. As a result Expert SEO Bournemouth was born.
What are 3 of your biggest challenges working with clients as an SEO Agency?
The majority of SEO projects that I work on for clients will require them to make edits to their website in order to help them achieve improved search engine rankings. One the biggest challenges can be to get edits and changes implemented in a timely manner. The client might not have the resources or time available. This is why I like Expert SEO Bournemouth to have access to the client's website so we can make and code, content, and structural changes once approved.
Also in the past I've had scenarios where the client is adamant that they know the root cause of an SEO issue, but where my professional opinion might differ. Sometimes you need to address the age-old statement that "the customer is always right", because in reality this isn't always the case. Being professional, backing your opinion and experience up with solid proof, and being able to explain SEO as easily as possible usually fixes this one. I always try to put myself in the client's shoes as this can usually help overcome any issues of this type.
Probably the biggest SEO challenge of all though is managing the expectations of a client. This is so important, not just for the success of their business, but also for you an external supplier of services. I always ensure that this is addressed from the out-set of any project. Any person who works in SEO will tell you that nobody on the planet can honestly guarantee a number one listing on Google, especially with the ever-changing algorithms released by the search engines.
What are 1 or 2 common issues you typically discover when working with your new clients websites?
One of the major issues I come across when working with new clients is that their websites have not been optimized to best target the keywords that matter for their business. Thankfully these are things that can be remedied quite easily by addressing the Meta Titles and Descriptions as well as the on-site content for keyword optimised text. It's always great to see what a difference a few on-site changes can make to their search engine rankings and usually gains some very quick wins. In my opinion, SEO in 2014 is 50% about the website (the on-page SEO) and 50% about what's happening off the site – such as relevant and authoritative back-links and citations.
The second common issue are Google penalties where a client's website has been de-valued in the search engine rankings due to SEO strategies performed in the past – either by themselves, or their previous SEO agency. Sometimes the client will naturally be very wary about working with a search engine optimisation agency again, but by pulling them out of the penalty, as I've done many times now, it can give them that faith back again. What might have worked for them with SEO a year ago might not work today, which means websites can disappear off the search engine radar completely. Being able to help a client remedy this situation is always very satisfying.
What types of link building strategies are you using today to help your clients search engine rankings? What's working best for you?
I like to fully involve the client in the whole SEO process, and tend to give them tasks that they can perform in-house in order to improve their online visibility. One tactic I am working on at the moment with some of our customers is relationship-building and making use of the assets they already have. For example, many clients can reach out to their partners or customers to get a valuable link. This approach can take some time but can be very valuable in the long-run.
In terms of the assets they already have, an example I would use is a client I have who works in the technology industry. They recently presented at some leading industry seminars and so my view was that their presentations would be a fantastic link asset if posted online. We put the presentations into PDF and Video format, uploaded them and did the usual social media and email promotion, and as a result had hundreds of industry people linking to this content. My advice to my clients is to have a look at what they have which they haven't placed online before. They could be sitting on a goldmine of linkable assets which they had never before considered.
One SEO strategy we recommend currently is YouTube. Whilst this might not be a back-linking strategy as such, it can still generate a lot of website traffic. The great thing about YouTube is that Google owns them, so seem to give their videos some ranking preference in the Google listings. I will work with my client to produce a video around their core business keywords, and then get that ranked up behind their actual website. The result can be that they end up owning the search engine positions for the top 2 or 3 places with their official website, then a YouTube video or two. I've done something very similar with the Expert SEO Bournemouth listings – sometimes all you need to do it put a very simple video together, as a simple as a slide show approach with audio – for example here's one I did for my own company which displays when users search for SEO in Bournemouth.
And as we are in the middle of an interview ourselves, it a good point to reference this SEO strategy too. Interviews are fantastic ways in which to earn a link. If you work in a particular niche or business, then search online to see if any websites are publishing interviews with people who run similar websites to your own. One of my current clients is a young businessman in his early twenties who has set up on online technology business. We managed to find a few young entrepreneur websites that wanted to interview him – and the payback was that he got some very valuable links to his website.
What are your future plans for 2014 and beyond?
In 2014 I hope to expand the company and bring more clients on board, hopefully diversifying the industries that I am working in. In addition to that I hope to find the time to develop a personal website and blog of my own. The plan to post tutorials for budding online marketers to follow. If any of your readers want to learn how to create an online income then I hope the website will provide some inspiration to them, but as you can see it's still very much in the phase of development so apologies if there is no content on there yet. Please come back to it in the future.
In the main though, the main focus is to grow the SEO business and to keep achieving results for my clients. The bottom line is that if my customers are happy, then my business will prosper.

Animal/Language: An Interdisciplinary Conference (21-23 March 2019)
Texas Tech University (Lubbock, TX)
animallanguage2019@gmail.com
Animal/Language: An Interdisciplinary Conference
Held in conjunction with the art exhibition "Assembling Animal Communication"
Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX
Animals and language have a complicated relationship with one another in human understanding. Every period of history evinces a fascination with the diverse modes of communicative exchange and possibilities of linguistic community that exist both within and between species. Recent critics of anthropocentrism are far from the first to question the supposed muteness of the "dumb animal" and its ontological and ethical ramifications. Various cultures have historically attributed language to animals, and we have developed an increasingly sophisticated scientific understanding of the complex non-verbal communicative systems that animals use among themselves. New research complements millennia of human-animal communication in the contexts of work, play, and domestic life.
Some people have extensive experience with real, live animals. Some primarily encounter animals as products of the food industry. Some focus on animal representations in text or image, or deploy the abstract figure of "the animal" as limit or counterpart of the human. These interactions condition different ways of "thinking with animals," including: using them in and as language or in experimentation, recruiting them as symbols and metaphors, incorporating them into idiomatic expressions, projecting moral values onto them, and ventriloquizing them for purposes of cultural critique. A vast archive of literary, artistic, philosophical, historical, religious, and scientific explorations testifies that the boundaries and complementarities relating animals and language have always captured the human imagination.
Animal/Languageaims to create an interdisciplinary dialogue on the relationship between "animals" and "language" that considers both what connects and what separates these two key terms. The conference hopes to generate new scientific inquires and creative synergies by initiating conversation and exchange among scholars in the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.We therefore invite researchers from all fields, periods, and geographical areas to propose contributions engaging questions such as:
What are the real, imagined, or potential relationships between animals and language(s)?
What are animal languages?
What spaces or functions does the animal occupy within human language and cultural representation?
What is the role of animals in aesthetic or artistic meaning-making processes?
How do our interactions with animals shape our conceptions of animals and language?
How and why do we communicate with animals?
How and why do animals communicate with us?
How and why do animals communicate with one another?
What philosophical, ethical, and political questions are raised by different ways of affirming and denying connections between animals and language?
How should any of the above questions be historicized?
Proposal Submission Deadline: September 30, 2018
Proposals for 20-minute papers should be no more than 300 words long and include 3-5 keywords identifying your discipline and topic(s). All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously; please provide author name(s) and affiliations in your submission email, but omit them from your abstract itself. Please submit all proposals (in .docx or .pdf form) and questions to animallanguage2019@gmail.com. We plan to inform participants in early Novembe
With many thanks,
The Conference Organizers
Dr. John Beusterien (Spanish), Dr. Belinda Kleinhans (German), Dr. Katy Schroeder (Animal & Food Sciences), Dr. Lucas Wood (French), Dr. Pamela Zinn (Classics), in collaboration with Joe Arredondo (Landmark Arts) and Dr. Kevin Chua (Art History)

The Roxas City Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks of the City of Roxas, capital of the province of Capiz. Built in 1910 as Capiz Bridge, it was then later renamed as Roxas City Bridge, coinciding with the renaming of the municipality of Capiz to Roxas City.
The bridge crosses the Panay River with one end facing the city's rotunda and the Immaculate Conception Metropolitan Cathedral at the background. The best spot to take a photo of the bridge is Altavas Street located the southern terminus of the bridge.
To get to the bridge, you can simply take a tricycle within the city and ask the driver to drop you off at the cathedral. From there, you can just cross the street towards the bridge.
Roxas City, the capital of the province of Capiz, is one of the commercial and education hubs of Western Visayas, and is also fast becoming a tourism destination for local and international travelers. We have listed down the best hotels in Roxas City suitable for both business and leisure travelers.


"A visit to the Tsarevna nunnery" is the last of the outstanding paintings of the greatest Russian artist Surikov.
The canvas does not carry the meaning of a meaningful event, which was in reality in a certain period of time. It reflects, first of all, the very life and way of Russia before the ascension to the throne of Peter I.
The picture tells the viewer about the joyless event. The fact is that in those days the religious foundations did not allow the princesses to marry. The proportion of girls from the royal family was unenviable – the only way for them was only going to the monastery.
The princess visits the place where she will have to live all her life. More for her there will be no simple joys – over time, her thirst for joy will fade away for good.
The artist diligently wrote the image of the princess. She is dressed in white luxurious robes that contrast with the gloomy dresses of the nuns. The skin of the princess is snow-white. It is clear that she is still young. Her face is the face of a child, rather than a young woman. On the face clearly readable naivety.
Accompanying the princess befits her status. Right behind the girl is a lady market who monitors the necessary attributes of this procedure. The views of the nuns, still very young women, but nevertheless, already forgotten about the joys of life, look at the young princess with some envy. In their hand, each of them has a church candle.
What kind of life expect a young girl? She does not expect anything joyful. It is not by chance that in contrast to her youth and beauty, the dry and joyless faces of young nuns are depicted. After a short period of time, the princess will become the same as they. Alas, but salvation from such a fate is not found. The young princess understands all this, and has already come to terms with such a need, but somewhere deep down she still hopes for a miracle that she will be able to avoid living in a monastery and she will remain in her usual way of life.


Farewell, thou valiant, glorious child!
Thou once the holiest pride of my heart!
thou laughing delight of my eyes?
as ne'er yet has burned for a bride!
let withering terrors daunt the craven!
let cowards fly from Brünnhilde's rock!
my lips shall give them love's farewell!
must they close now forever.
so kisses thy godhood away!
Loge, hear! List to my word!
as once I stayed thee, stir I thee now!
and wind thee in flames round the fell!
shall cross not the flaming fire!

Baliwag to Co-Present the National ADHD Congress | Be Informed, Every BaliwageKNOW deserves to Know.
The Municipality of Baliwag stands proud to be chosen by the ADHD Society of the Philippines to be the host city and Co-Presentor of the National Congress for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD.
A recognized disability, ADHD is not very popular among teachers and practioners and the lack of understanding oftentimes lead to malpractice and myopic interventions. Akala malikot o sobrang galawgaw lang yung bata.
According to Wikipedia, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is a mental disorder of theneurodevelopmental type. It is characterized by problems paying attention, excessive activity, or difficulty controlling behavior which is not appropriate for a person's age. The symptoms appear before a person is twelve years old, are present for more than six months, and cause problems in at least two settings (such as school, home, or recreational activities). In children, problems paying attention may result in poor school performance. Although it causes impairment, particularly in modern society, many children with ADHD have a good attention span for tasks they find interesting.
The congress hopes to orient daycare practitioners, parents, social workers, pwd's and paychologists regarding proper behavior management of this disorder. The congress is scheduled on October 21.

Corona share (Corona Aktie): Why Wearing Masks Are Important
It has been almost a year as the Pandemic reach the full universe, causing a national lock-down to avoid the Corona share (Corona Aktie).This spreads out of you to the other, Mainly through the respiratory droplets. All these droplets travel when an individual cough, speak, sneezes, shouts, or sings. Even the droplets land in to the mouths of both people gift suggestions nearby.
Why are masks important?
Masks Are Only a barrier that Helps stop one's respiratory droplets from spreading and reaching others. Studies have demonstrated that making use of masks reduces the droplets when worn, covering the nose and mouth.
It's these reasons why one should Use a mask, irrespective of what. The main reason is that several studies have shown that people diagnosed with COVID-19 who never show exactly the symptoms, and those who don't yet display the observable symptoms, may disperse the coronavirus. The principal reason for acquiring a mask is really for the security of everybody around, at which a person is contaminated however, doesn't show any signs.
Who shouldn't use the mask
Masks Should Not be worn by
Children that are younger than the age of 2 years
Those who suffer with trouble breathing
Those who are unconscious or otherwise have trouble to use it with No assistance
The Corona Share (Corona Aktie) in one into another and also would be the exact very same reason why it affected the entire universe. One should remain careful when moving outside because, afterall, it's all about dividing the series, which can help halt the spreading of this virus.

In order to improve our understanding of these mechanical strength functions, IRSTEA researchers conducted an important study of experimental feedback on the alpine scale and helped to set up experimental sites to test soil bioengineering techniques under unprecedented levels of stress (mountain torrents of 5 to 10%).
As part of the Géni'Alp project, feedback on riverbank protection techniques used on mountain streams was collected to provide information and to assess their resistance. Analyzing the successes and failures of the different techniques was also done. The sites were selected mainly on the Alpine Arc, but also on other mountains, on waterways with at least 1% slopes. Thirteen sites and eighteen structures in France and Italy are presented here. All in all, these structures "succeeded". All structures underwent a descriptive and historical analysis, topographical surveys and granulometric analysis of the bottom of the river bed.
A resulting synthesis is presented in graph form and includes, for each structure, the slope of the bed, the critical tractive stress of setting into motion (estimated for a diameter D84, a diameter such that 84% of the elements of the bed are finer, an indicator widely used by geomorphologists for gravel rivers), the technique used and the year of construction (figure below). The critical tractive stress calculated for D84 is an indicator regularly used to estimate the flow or the height of water necessary for a profound modification of the bed, a significant morphogenetic activity.
Different bioengineering techniques used in 18 structures of Géni'Alp feedbacks, according to stream's slope and tractive stress for D84 (completion year is indicated) from Evette, Roman et al. (2013). Bioengineering techniques have resisted on streams with more than 1 or 2% slope for more than 20 years.
This figure shows that pure soil bioengineering techniques (without riprap at toe of riverbank) and mixed techniques (with riprap) have survived for 15 to 20 years on riverbanks with slopes greater than 1% (usually considered as torrential) and carrying large rocks. We can thus note how well a structure, carried out in 1996, has held up using pure plant techniques, on the Isère with a slope close to 2%. Likewise, brush mattresses with riprap at the base on alpine rivers with slopes of around 2% have resisted for twenty years in Italy.
As part of the same project, 6 pilot soil bioengineering projects were set up in mountain rivers. These projects helped to solve various issues that arise in this particular context. The first question was whether pure or mixed soil bioengineering techniques could withstand the mechanical stresses (tractive forces, solid transport) found in torrents with 5 to 10% slope with high banks (up to at least 10 meters), sometimes combined with the problem of clay landslides.
As natural alpine models differ from those used in the plains, it was also a question of testing how well local species established themselves, in particular alpine willows. It also took into account the particular characteristics of these watersheds, which have a period of high spring water (snow regime), a short growing season and the impossibility of intervening in winter because of the snow; all vital points to take into account when setting up these structures.

This first phase of collecting results of past experiments and development has shown that soil bioengineering structures on alpine rivers have held up for decades and that structures built on torrents with steep sides can tolerate floods shortly after their construction, a point often of serious concern to potential users of these techniques.
– The second approach is more mechanistic and consists of specifying the physical mechanisms giving rise to the destruction of the structure.

Which shoe is right for me? – Fox News
By Gail Sheehy, Fox News Staff WriterWashington, DC (CNN) While the first lady enjoys playing golf and has been in the spotlight with her recent appearance at the annual gala of the National Basketball Association Players Association, the Obamas are taking a break from the world of political events and traveling to the South Carolina statehouse for a "Gang of Five" summit.
In an effort to bring the White House to the state for the summit, Michelle Obama is planning to attend a rally at a local church in South Carolina's capital, which she said is the "most important place in America" to discuss the issue of gun violence.
In a video posted online, Michelle said she is "really excited" to go to the church to speak with the congregation about gun violence, the "real causes" of gun deaths and the need for a national conversation about the causes of gun suicides.
"It's the most important time to talk about guns," Michelle Obama said in the video.
"We're going to be there and we're going on the stage and we will talk about the real causes of guns, and the real solution."
"It is not the first time I've been in a state, in fact, I have gone to more states than this, but I am excited to go and talk about this," she added.
In March, Michelle and her husband, Joe, visited the statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina, for the annual event hosted by the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), the nation's oldest civil rights organization.
The Obamas have not been to South Carolina since April, when they were at the State Fair in Greensboro, North Carolina.
In a joint appearance with South Carolina Gov.
Nikki Haley, Michelle called for an end to "violence against black people."
Michelle Obama, a first lady, joined her husband on the tour of the statehouses to talk to legislators about gun control, and she told Fox News on Thursday that she is planning a visit to the capital to discuss gun violence in a live-streamed interview on Fox News Channel.
"We're doing a lot of rallies around the country, and this is a really important opportunity to bring a conversation about guns to the nation," Michelle said.
"This is not just a conversation that we're having at home, but it's a conversation in the streets."
She said the "gangs of five" will include Republican Gov.
Pat McCrory and Democratic state Sen. Jim McGovern, who has pledged to introduce a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in the state.
"I am going to make a big announcement, Michelle, and I'm going to have a meeting with them about guns in this state," Michelle told Fox.
"And then we'll all go back to work and we'll see what we can do," she said, "and we'll work on making sure we're doing all of this together."
Michelle said the two of them are planning to make their announcement in the "next few days."
Michelle will be at the Gilded Age Ballroom on Friday to hold a "We Are the Gang" concert, and Fox News contributor Michelle Fields will host a discussion about gun issues in the South.
In South Carolina on Thursday, the White Houses South Carolina tour will feature a dinner and a forum hosted by Haley and Vice President Joe Biden.
The White House has also held a rally with the South Carolinians for the benefit of victims of gun crime and violence, which Michelle said will be the largest event of the summit.
The White House said that the "Gangs of Five Summit" will address "the real causes" behind gun violence and "the urgent need to address the root causes."
The summit will also include a discussion of the "whys" behind mass shootings and the "whys" behind other recent mass shootings, including those in Orlando, San Bernardino, Orlando, Aurora, Virginia Tech, the Pulse nightclub, Newtown, the Sikh temple in Wisconsin, and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
On Friday, the South Koreans are expected to be the first to attend the summit as well.
Ahead of the WhiteHouse visit, South Korean President Moon Jae-in will address the summit in a speech at a news conference in Seoul, according to the presidential office.
The summit comes as the U.S. is facing renewed scrutiny over the deadly shooting rampage at a gay nightclub in Orlando that killed 49 people and wounded more than 50 others.
In the wake of the attack, South Korea has enacted new laws restricting the sale and possession of guns in the country.
President Moon has said the new laws were needed to protect people from "radicalization" after the shooting, which occurred during a national holiday.
The president said the ban is not aimed at "hate groups" and "terrorists," but is "to stop gun violence."
The U.N. Security Council has called on South Korea to reinstate

Jesuit Social Apostolate of the Japan Province
Mitsunobu Ichiro SJ
Director of Jesuit Social Center
Thirteen members of the Jesuit social apostolate in Japan gathered on February 15, 2016, to discuss matters concerning our social apostolate.
The importance of the social apostolate in the mission given to the Society of Jesus in Japan was confirmed by the Province Congregation of May 2015 and by the official document promulgated by the Jesuit Provincial on January 16 this year: "Priorities for the Future of the Japan Province of the Society of Jesus."
In response to Father General's request concerning the three most important calls to the Society from the Lord today, the Province Congregation proposed the following: "To serve toward healing a wounded world (justice, peace, environmental issues)."
To counter the discrimination, marginalization, violence and poverty issues brought about by an excessive market-centered economy, and so to work together with various people, share the suffering of the impoverished, raise our voice, and promote joint action. Also to promote theological reflection, social analysis, and positive action, including political engagement.
To achieve a society in which, breaking the chain of violence brought about in the name of religion and culture, people can live together acknowledging their diversity, and so to promote dialogue with people of various religions and with people of no religion.
To study worldwide environmental issues and inform society of problem areas. To work with various people in activities for providing information and solving problems.
To raise our voice and promote joint action against the threats to life from nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons, and the military-industrial complex.
Through our mission of education and research, to form a generation able to engage in ethical reflection and deal with the various issues connected with justice, peace and the environment in today's world.
On January 16 this year Fr. Provincial Kajiyama outlined "Priorities for the Future of the Japan Province," in which he refers to the social apostolate as follows:
"In the world in which Japan is situated, especially from the point of view of the politics and economics of Asia, the social apostolate is indispensable for promoting justice and serving the environment. For this reason, the social apostolate is a priority. Concretely, based on the policies of the Holy Father, the Japan Bishops' Conference, and the Society of Jesus, we should promote worldwide networks, and while making our voice heard in solidarity with our collaborators and many others concerning such issues as the environment, nuclear power plants, awareness of history, working for peace, and the problem of poverty, we should serve research and education so as to answer the frontline needs of the world and Japan. Concerning this area, in the Asia Pacific Conference we are promoting solidarity at various levels. For example, we are actively encouraging the Society's work in East Timor and are promoting collaboration between the Provinces of Japan and Korea."
The priorities of the Japan Province Social Apostolate Committee for the past 10 years have been: (1) migration (2) marginalization (3) psychological distress (social exclusion) (4) ecological issues (5) peace building. All these areas are still hurting Japanese society today and should thus remain Jesuit concerns.
The 32nd General Congregation made the "service of faith and promotion of justice" (Decree 4) the mission of Jesuits today. Jesuits and collaborators, aware of the social dimensions of the Gospel, basically work together devotedly to integrate faith and justice. Therefore, the role of the social centers and of the social apostolate committee is to help Jesuits involved in social activities and to coordinate their activities. The Shimonoseki, Osaka, and Tokyo centers, while carrying on local activities, cooperate with other Church organizations and with Jesuits all over the world, and thus act toward deepening the social dimensions of the Japan Province. But the role of linking the province's social apostolate committee with the personal mission of Jesuits involved in social issues is not yet truly recognized among members of the Province. Many seem to think that "the social apostolate is the role of special members." As regards the Catholic Church in Japan, the Bishops try to do their best concerning justice and peace issues, but the ordinary faithful continue to see "society and religion" as separate concerns. How to break down this wall is a big issue.
On the other hand, the activities of the committee members are manifold. The Tokyo Social Center assists foreigners living in Japan through its Migrant Desk and Adachi International Academy (AIA). Seminars on Catholic teaching regarding social issues have been held for many years. Last year we had a year-long program to reread the Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World. The 2016 program will deal with the new encyclical Laudato Si'. Staff members are actively involved in grass root development programs with 2 NGOs, "Camboren" in Cambodia and "JapaVietnam" in Vietnam. One staff member cooperates with the Young Christian Workers (YCW/JOC) and the movement to abolish the death penalty.
Cooperation with St. Ignatius parish and parishes of the Hiroshima Diocese has improved. One staff member collaborates with several groups at St. Ignatius church, like the "Yotsuya onigiri friends," the "curry distribution group," "life counseling," "cafeteria," and the "four-leaf clover group," which are attended by many homeless people.
One committee member is affiliated with Shibuya Free Association (Nojiren), which works silently and steadily for the lives and survival of homeless people. The Tabiji no Sato Center in Kamagasaki (Osaka) is presently searching for new roles. The Shimonoseki Labor Education Center has been refurbished and has opened again in April.
Our links to Sophia University through its Institute of Global Concern and the Faculty of Theology continue. It is worth mentioning that the special no. 116 issue of Promotio Iustitiae, published by the Jesuit headquarters in Rome, on "The Promotion of Justice in Jesuit Universities" has been translated into Japanese and has been made available to the university staff and many professors. Although the Catholic Center and Volunteer Bureau as well as individual teachers conduct social-pastoral activities and lectures, from a Jesuit point of view there is still a lack of integration. One of the priorities is to reach a closer coordination.
Some committee members who work at the university are deeply involved in activities related to the Japanese Bishops' Justice and Peace Commission. They also visit correction reformatories and FRJ refugee programs.
This coming August a Japan-Korea social apostolate exchange program among Jesuits of both countries is being planned. The common issues for discussion will focus on refugees, foreign migrant workers, history, peace and reconciliation, and labor and social justice. Personnel exchanges between both provinces (mainly for scholastics' regency experience) and youth peace programs in Okinawa and Jeju islands are proposed as concrete forms of implementation. These could also be extended to Vietnam.
Migrant workers are a common issue in the whole Asia Pacific Conference, not only at the Japan-Korean level, and we have to think about how to broaden the network in this region. It is important to offer young scholastics opportunities to acquire a deep concern for migrants.
Because of the shortage of manpower, possibilities to act are limited but, everything considered, I think that the social apostolate of the Japan Province is doing its best to try to answer the needs of Japanese society and of the Church. Surely everyone agrees that each of us, as persons committed to Jesuit social apostolate in the world, should have an open mind and take care not to get too enclosed in local matters and plans of merely one province.
We feel the pinch of diminishing numbers in the province but, viewing this as a sign of our times, let us search for a new vision with new methods. In our relationship with the Korea Province let us not take a pessimistic view by comparing their increasing growth with our own. Let us share with Korean Jesuits the know-how we have accumulated over the years in our province.

More than 60 years ago, excavations at the Qumran Caves revealed almost one thousand ancient scrolls that offered important glimpses into humanity's past. Archaeologists were stumped to find one unusual text among these, a scroll that offers clues regarding the demise of the Nephilim. It is called The Book of Giants.
The Bible makes several references to the Nephilim and most of them can be found in the book of Genesis. The bulk of information pertaining to these giants of old come from the apocryphal Book of Enoch. This ancient Jewish religious work is attributed to Noah's great-grandfather, although some scholars date parts of it to around 300 BC.
Enoch is a puzzling character, to say the least. The book of Genesis tells us he lived on Earth for 365 years, before being taken by God; "he walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him." During his time down here, our planet was also inhabited by 'angels' who interacted freely with humans, eventually interbreeding with the "daughters of man" and giving birth to a race of unnaturally strong and giant hybrids called the Nephilim.
The origin of the word "Nephilim" isn't fully understood but scholars have proposed several etymologies: "the fallen", "apostates", or "those that cause others to fall down." Regardless of their name, the Nephilim have always been a synonym for giants.
The Book of Giants found in the Qumran Caves offer a perspective that is different from that of the Book of Enoch. Although incomplete, the scroll fragments paint a grim picture: the Nephilim become aware that, as a result of their violent and deviant ways, they face imminent destruction—and that scares them enough to ask Enoch to speak on their behalf in front of God.
The text begins by detailing how the Nephilim plagued the Earth and all that lived on it. But once they all start receiving prophetic dreams of doom, fear seeps into their hearts. The first one to have these dreams was Mahway, the titan son of the angel Barakel. In his dream, he saw a tablet being submerged in water. When the tabled emerges, all but three names have been washed away. This symbolizes the Flood and subsequent destruction of all but Noah's sons.
At the time, this fact had not become obvious to the Nephilim so they debated the meaning of Mahway's dream, but were unsuccessful in interpreting the signs. Soon after, two more giants, Ohya and Hahya, the sons of the fallen angel Shemyaza, begin having similar dreams; they dreamed of a tree being uprooted except for three of its roots.
The giants now realize the prophetic nature of their dreams and seek help from Enoch. Unfortunately, Enoch had already disappeared from the face of the Earth so the Nephilim elected one of their members to undertake a cosmic journey in order to find him.
Unfortunately, parts of the scrolls were damaged beyond repair but the general direction of the text is obvious. One of the Nephilim traveled outside of Earth in search of Enoch and his vision interpreting powers. The text becomes very interesting if we substitute a few terms and regard it not as an allegorical account, but the description of a real event whose meaning became muddled over time.
If we consider flying "with his hands like eagles" a metaphor, can we hypothesize that Mahway took off from Earth in a space ship? In this case, does "Desolation, the great desert" refer to interstellar space? It depends on how far we're willing to interpret a fragmentary, 2,000 year-old scroll but ancient alien theorists do more than just take it at face value.
Let it be known to you that not […] and the things you have done, and that your wives […] they and their sons and the wives of [their sons] by your licentiousness on the earth, and there has been upon you […and the land is crying out] and complaining about you and the deeds of your children […] the harm that you have done to it.
Whether they prayed or not, the text cannot say. But they don't appear to be here anymore, once again proving the effectiveness of a global flood.

Former secretary charged with burglarising Community College
22 Sep 2015 - 06:29AM
Nicole Bailey, a former college employee was charged with burglary.
A former secretary at the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College has become the third person to be charged in connection with a burglary at the institution that netted some EC$44,000 in cash and other items.
Police said on Monday that 23-year-old Nicole Bailey of Glen was on Saturday arrested and charged with burglarizing the SVG Community College and stealing one proline digital safe value EC$480, one external hard drive valued EC$150 and EC$$43,648.96 in cash, the property of SVG Community College.
The burglary occurred at the Villa Campus of the Community College between Aug. 28 and 20.
Last Tuesday, Sept. 15, Kamorni Antoine, a 24-year-old mason, and Shorn Cabral, 18, a labourer, both of Glen, were charged with burglarising the Community College and stealing a quantity of items valued EC$45,955.01, the property of the college.
They appeared at the Serious Offences Court on Wednesday and were granted bail in the sum of $50,000 each and were placed on curfew from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
They are also to surrender all travel documents.
The matter is scheduled for summary trial on Oct. 12.

Will she get a gentle slap on the wrists like the former Registrar?
It seems to me that those with connections plus most females are given far milder punishments than their unconnected or male counterparts.
We live in a society in which who you are and whether you are male or female counts above all else. Justice is certainly not blind in our troubled land.
David that depends on what party she belongs to.

C ben,
You call what Tammy Marks got "a slap on the wrist"? Man, I hear she living high off the hog in Lucia. That is the balance what remain.
Maybe not this time. Being so near to elections and all, they go be in need of a scape goat.
TeacherFang says:
I stated in a previous post on this issue, that the crook was in the office;well the crook was indeed in the office. Now, the only thing left is to fire the punk of a Director at the Community College.
As for this young lady, we all know, she not going jail and will ask to pay back the money…but ah man thief a $20 item in a supermarket, is given six months in jail….real justice in Vincyland.


How Google Rank Brain Matters to SEO?
Google and SEO are interrelated. Till now, we have seen several updates by Google and so today we are going to discuss about one more. Google announced its new update known as Rank Brain which just another layer to its complicated algorithm. This is related to machine learning. How this will affect SEO is a matter of question.
We believe that internet giants like Apple and Google must have advanced technologies but still they rely on several manual processes as well as codes which are used in their operating systems and search algorithms.
Efforts might be going to remove this human element from search algorithms because only human beings can do what they know and what they understand. Every single rule on which search algorithms work are framed by human beings.
And these rules were framed keeping in mind a perfect pattern that was adjusted with the algorithm. Human beings can easily recognize the patterns but at a slow pace. So, search engine companies have started using machines to write the rules and guidelines which are used to run algorithms. However, machines fail to interpret patterns as human beings do.
So, what exactly is the work of Rank Brain?
Rank brain is an algorithm update that will interpret patterns in the same way as human beings do and this programme will again be written by human beings and will be fit in this machine which will then decide the patterns as programmed.
Based on the recognized patterns, necessary changes and adjustments can be made by machineries. It cannot be considered as an intelligent machine in fact it is just another computer which is instructed on how to identify patterns and act accordingly.
It's similar to writing a Java script where command is given to proceed ahead if the name entered is real or matches the determined conditions or else the request is not accepted and the system shows error.
Again the machine is constantly learning and this helps Rank Brain to constantly evolve as time passes but still as compared to this human brains can quickly check the things and ensure that everything is going on at right pace.
Google considers Rank Brain Signals Important: Whatever signals they get from Rank Brain are most important ones and these are the ones on which now the rankings will be based. So, what will be the exact role of rank brain in SEO and how will it judge results.
Let's understand this with an example: Suppose you want to search for "Property in Sydney" then you will just type this in Google Search box, now Google has fetched some results for you based on the search query and these will completely match the search terms.
Now, from billions of users; Rank brain will track those things where users click on and then these things will be correlated with the actual search term and this entire process will be automatic without the need of any human power.
Previously such analyses were done by human beings but now it will be done by Rank Brain. This will help Google to stay updated with latest topics, new search queries which were not seen before in search box.
How will this be useful to SEO?
Rank brain is an algorithm update which helps users to get better experience. It doesn't change the way marketers carry out SEO activities. They can continue with the same process of focusing on web pages with a proper SEO centric design which offers perfect user experience and loads quickly.
Content is also equally important and all other SEO practices will remain the same. But what will change is as and when new technologies will arrive which will be solely based on machine learning, this update will be more and more useful.
And then those marketers who do SEO the right way will be rewarded. This means all those practising black hat SEO practices will have no place in the market and this will be a great day for those performing SEO in a proper way.
So, everything is dependent on time. The day IT industry will have fully integrated machines; they will be ahead of human beings. This means Google has now very well prepared itself to remove all those who are still involved in spammy SEO tactics.
Hence, if you are in touch with any such SEO agencies then beware your rankings are at risk and you can be brought down any time. Instead quickly shift to a relevant SEO firm like Platinum SEO; one of the well known SEO Melbourne Services provider who can help you with proper SEO services without any spammy tactics.
So, be ready for a new update and stay prepared. Remove all those stuff that is spammy in any way. Once again cross check all of your SEO efforts and see whether they are in line with Google's guidelines or not. If not, improve them now or else you will be laid down.
Stay tuned with us for more such updates as this will help to improve and alter your SEO strategies.

This training title highlights the major symptoms of Stimulant Use Disorder, severe type, cocaine. Symptoms of Substance Use Disorder include: cognitive, behavioral, and physiological symptoms indicating that the individual continues using a substance despite significant substance-related problems. Symptoms due to brain circuit changes extend beyond detoxification, especially in "severe use" instances. Behavioral changes may be seen with repeated relapses and intense substance craving. Individuals may take substances in larger amounts and/or over a longer period of time than originally intended. Individuals may persistently desire to cut down or regulate substance use and have multiple unsuccessful efforts of decreasing or stopping substance use. Individuals may spend large amounts of time and energy in obtaining substances or recovering from periods of substance use. In very severe cases, individuals may spend almost all of their daily wake hours related to obtaining, using, or recovering from use of substances. Cravings are usually more intense when individuals are cued by being in environments or situations that are similar to previous times of substance use. Substance use causes social impairment such as failures to fulfill major roles at work, school, or home and individuals may continue to use despite persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems related to substance use. Important social, occupational, or recreational activities may be given up or reduced due to substance use and individuals may withdraw form family activities and hobbies in order to use substances. Individuals may continue to use despite physical dangers. Physiological tolerance (requiring increased amounts of substance to achieve intoxication or desired effects or having diminished effects with continued use of same doses) and withdrawal (physical symptoms developing as substances decrease and are metabolized and excreted) are often present.

Our boat rentals and water sports base is at Eagles Palace Hotel in Mt. Athos peninsula. Find us right on the beach!
A few words about our amazing location.
Halkidiki is a majestic three-pronged peninsula in Northern Greece where you can find endless hidden treasures. Its coast of 500 kilometers in length and the numerous islands and isles in the area wait for you to discover them. From Vourvourou, we highly recommend visiting Diaporos island, while from Ouranoupoli you should visit Ammouliani and Drenia islands.
A World Heritage Site and self-governed state in the Hellenic Republic, Mount Athos is home to 20 Eastern Orthodox monasteries under the direct jurisdiction of the patriarch of Constantinople. Today Greeks commonly refer to Mount Athos as the "Holy Mountain" (Greek: Άγιον Όρος, Agion Oros), as it is home to monks. Women are not allowed at Mount Athos and please note that we are not aloud to approach it in less than 500m.
Ammouliani is a small, yet astonishing island right across from Mount Athos peninsula. Tradition is evident all throughout the island, with original folklore houses, trademark gastronomy and typical small gardens filled with astonishing natural goods. The very first settlers arrived back in the 1920's, with roots from Minor Asia, bringing their cultural heritage with them. Isolated and magnificent beaches, vibrant food & entertainment options, and a mix of impressive vegetation & giant rocks make up for the ideal escape to the sole inhabited island of Halkidiki.

Kombucha tea is a fermented beverage that is produced by combining sweet tea with a culture of yeast and bacteria. Kombucha has been a hot trend in health beverages for many years, with more mainstream brewers appearing on the shelves of health foods stores in the last couple of years alone. I have been consistently obsessed with kombucha for about 10 years, and have been brewing my own for about 5. I am so passionate about kombucha, in fact, that I have refrained from blogging about it with the fear of not doing any service to the topic and be far from capturing the magic of what I believe this drink to be. So to relieve some of the pressure, I will present the following information as a way to provide guidance to those who are looking to inform themselves on the topic.
Kombucha is said to help the body heal from many health conditions such as arthritis, PMS, candida, acne, insomnia, cancer, AIDS, chronic fatigue, and depression.
From my own experience, I have noticed that Kombucha has helped improve my acne and overall skin appearance, it has improved my digestion immensely, and it makes me feel AMAZING. Shortly after drinking my kombucha, I feel a burst of energy and happiness. I can feel the way it detoxifies my body and I highly value the probiotic content (which is our gastrointestinal tract's best friend)!
So, where do I find this wonder drink?
Kombucha can be found bottled at most health food stores. It can get expensive if you are looking to consume it regularly. The good news is that you can make your own kombucha right at home for a significant fraction of the price!
SCOBY (A Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast- You can obtain one from anyone who brews at home, or you can find starter kits online and at health foods stores).
The directions are VERY simple! Brew six bags of tea with one of gallon water. Remove the tea bags and stir in 1 ½ cups of sugar. The most important thing you need to know about the SCOBY is that it is very temperature sensitive. The SCOBY cannot get hot or cold. Therefore, you can pour your tea into a glass container and let it sit overnight or until it reaches room temperature. Only at that point will you place your SCOBY up at the top of the tea, cover it with a cloth, and let it sit for 7 days.
At the end of the 7 days, your kombucha tea is ready! Your mother SCOBY will have produced a baby SCOBY. Take these two SCOBYs apart, and you can start over by brewing two batches, or give away one of the SCOBYs to a friend. *Note: Always keep some kombucha tea with your SCOBY when you start fermenting your next batch, and only use glass containers to store any of these items.
It's that simple; and a small investment (in both money and time) for the health of your body. Check out these links for frequently asked questions or head to the health food store to pick up a bottle. Your tummy will thank you.

About Jeremy Camp
One of the leading artists on the contemporary Christian scene, Jeremy Camp has gained a sizable fan following for his passionate, well-crafted rock songs and heartfelt testimonies of faith in spite of life's obstacles. Camp was born on January 12, 1978, in Lafayette, Indiana, where his father was the pastor of the town's Harvest Chapel church and taught his son to play guitar. After completing high school, Camp attended bible college in Southern California and developed a keen interest in music, influenced by the likes of U2, Delirious?, and Jars of Clay. When one of the worship leaders at the school heard Camp playing with some friends at his dormitory, he urged him to become involved with their music ministry program, and soon he was performing at Christian music events all over California, recording a self-released disc called Burden Me in 2000.
At one such appearance, Camp met a young woman named Melissa, and the two struck up a friendship that blossomed into a romance. When Melissa broke off the relationship after a few months, Camp was crushed, but when he next saw her, her life had taken a serious turn -- she had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was in the hospital. When Melissa went into remission, Camp married her, but after their honeymoon, they discovered the cancer had returned, and in early 2001 she passed on; she was only 21. Camp poured both his sorrow and the faith that helped see him through into his music, and in 2002 he was signed to BEC Recordings, which released his first nationally distributed album, Stay; it was both a critical and commercial success, and five songs from the disc reached the top of the Christian singles chart.
While touring in support of Stay, Camp met singer Adrienne Leisching, former singer with the Benjamin Gate; the two hit it off, and in 2003 they were married, and have since been blessed with two daughters. In 2004, Camp released his second album for BEC, Carried Me: The Worship Project, which matched the gold record success of Stay, and Camp won two Dove Award trophies for Best Male Vocalist and Best New Artist. In 2005, Camp released two albums -- a studio set, Restored, which rose to number 45 on the Billboard Top Albums chart and spawned three number one Christian singles, and a live disc, Live Unplugged from Franklin TN. Camp also recorded the song "Open Up Your Eyes" for the soundtrack of the hit film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which earned him another Dove Award. The fall of 2006 brought another studio set from Camp, Beyond Measure, which reached number 29 on the Billboard charts and produced two more hit singles. Speaking Louder Than Before arrived in 2008, followed by the concert album Jeremy Camp Live in 2009.
In 2010, Camp released the second installment in his praise series, We Cry Out: The Worship Project. The album scored two singles, "The Way," which hit the top spot on the Christian Music chart, and "Overcome," which came in at number two. He followed that set with Reckless in February of 2013. That same year, Camp published his memoirs, I Still Believe. Camp also founded Speaking Louder Ministries in 2013, an organization that works with churches and evangelical organization to stage crusade events around the world. In late 2014, Camp released a single, "He Knows," which he said was inspired by letters he received from fans wanting to know how the death of his first wife impacted his faith. "He Knows" was the first single from Camp's tenth studio album, I Will Follow, which arrived in February 2015. In the summer of 2017, Camp issued the single "Word of Life" in anticipation of the release of his 11th full-length outing, The Answer, which arrived later that October. ~ Mark Deming

Non-Domestic Rates Information
Non-Domestic Rates Relief
Charity Relief
Charities in occupation of a property are entitled to 80% mandatory relief from their rates bill, providing the property is used wholly or mainly for charitable purposes. This leaves a liability of 20% of the charge, although relief up to the remaining 20% may be applied for under the discretionary scheme .
Registration with the Charities Commission under the Charities Act 1993 is conclusive evidence that an organisation is a charity. Certain bodies that, under the 1993 act, are excepted from registration, or are exempt charities, are also eligible for mandatory relief, as well as sporting organisations that are registered as Community Amateur Sport Clubs (CASCs). If the organisation is not a registered charity, you would have to include documentary evidence such as the memorandum and articles of association to show that its main objectives are charitable.
Relief will be at 80% of the rates charged and will continue from year to year, or until such time as the property ceases to be used for charitable purposes. Relief can also be afforded against any unoccupied property rates, providing that the ratepayer is a charity and it appears that, when next in use, the property will be wholly or mainly used for charity purposes.
Charity shops are deemed to be wholly or mainly being used for charitable purposes if they are wholly or mainly used for the sale of goods donated to a charity and the proceeds of the sale of the goods are applied for the purposes of the charity.

With the high global number of refugees, countries need better ways of checking educational credentials, a new report says (Image: Pixabay).
A recently published report examines the progress in overcoming a well-known barrier for refugees: Recognition in their new countries of prior education credentials or employment qualifications.
However technical the barrier may be, it can create enormous hardship for individuals. Laila Khalil, a 37-year-old dental technician, fled Syria to Hamburg in 2014. She used to run her own dental laboratory in Syria with six employees. In Hamburg, she found herself destitute.
Like many refugees who have fled from combat zones, Khalil was unable to take any documents with her and had no proof of her skills and credentials.
A recent publication from Antoninis's agency examines what nations and international agencies can do better to respond to the plight of migrants like Khalil.
Khalil was one of the lucky ones. Germany offers a web portal, available in Arabic and seven other languages besides German, that helps migrants and refugees obtain recognition of their qualifications.
Khalil applied to the recognition counseling department of Hamburg's Tradesmen's Chamber as a first step to get her qualifications recognized. She spent a week practicing in dental workshops, where she showed her work experience in front of specialized trainers, tutors and experts. She got partial recognition and then got a full recognition in February 2016 after attending a qualifying workshop.
As a recognized specialist, she quickly found a steady job, at a dentist's clinic in Hamburg. "After recognition, everything became much better for me," she said.
Mahmoud Salam, 32, who earned a medical degree in Syria, has been working in home delivery at a restaurant since arriving in Hamburg. "I have to work to provide my living till I get my medical degree recognized," he said.
According to Salam, who fled to Germany through Turkey in 2014, it will take more than three years to get his degree recognized and obtain a license to practice medicine. During that time, he has to learn German, local medical terminology and how to deal with patients.
Like Salam, many migrants take whatever jobs they can find to provide their living expenses while waiting for their skills and credentials to be recognized.
More than a third of highly educated migrants and refugees are employed at a level lower than their qualifications, says the Global Education Monitoring team's report, which was produced in association with Qatar's Education Above All Foundation and UNHCR, the United Nations' refugee agency.
The recognition of qualifications is not just a problem for those who have fled conflict in Arab countries. In the United States, nearly one out of every four immigrants with a high-school diploma ends up in a low-skilled job or, worse, unemployed. This results in an annual loss of $39 billion in unearned wages and $10.2 billion in lost taxes, says the report.
In member nations of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the report estimates that only 30 percent of immigrants who earned high-school diplomas outside of Europe and North America are employed in highly skilled jobs. Fewer than 15 percent of such workers said their level of education was commensurate with their jobs.
At the national and international levels, many laws and conventions have been put in place to address this problem, but the majority of them face challenges. One of the oldest such international agreements, the Lisbon Recognition Convention—officially the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications Concerning Higher Education in the European Region—was adopted more than 20 years ago and has been ratified by 57 nations. It calls on the signatory parties to take steps to recognize refugees' qualifications that cannot be fully documented, but as of 2016, the report states, more than two-thirds of them had taken few or no such measures.
As the flow of refugees to Europe increased in recent years, however, some countries have taken positive steps.
In other countries, national agencies for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications and skills, known as NARICs, have adjusted their procedures to reflect refugees' needs.
The NARIC in Flanders, Belgium, for example, waives the fees for its recognition procedure for refugees and other displaced people. In 2016, the NARIC and the Association of Flemish Universities launched a pilot project toward recognition for master's degree students in science, engineering, economics and business. Applicants attend a limited number of courses or a seminar in English, go to practical training sessions, and write a paper. Academic supervisors then supply the agency with advice on the students' qualifications.
In Canada and the United States, which have highly decentralized education systems, the government plays no direct role in credential assessment. The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials has published a set of best practices and guidelines for checking the qualifications of refugees without documents.
One of the Canadian center's recommended approaches was followed by World Education Services, a nonprofit organization that has tested a way of evaluating requests from Syrian refugees for recognition based on a range of evidence. For instance, a complete or partial transcript or degree certificate would be assessed, whether an original, a photocopy, or an electronic copy. At the end of the process, the organization would issue an advisory report on the nature of the credential and its equivalency in Canada. It plans to extend the service to refugees from other countries.
Evaluating education when a refugee has no documents is more difficult. Although a small number of countries, including Norway, attempt to electronically measure the skills of adults at refugee reception centers, most countries lack such systems.
Syrian students who flee to Arab countries also face difficulties in obtaining recognition of prior learning. In Iraq's Kurdistan region, refugees' access to universities requires equivalency recognition of their high school certificates. The Ministry of Education can issue temporary documents based on a stamped copy of refugees' diplomas, which allows students to register. Students need to present the original document within 20 days of their arrival to receive official recognition. In previous years, the period for submission has been extended up until the time of graduation. But in the 2018-19 academic year, the ministry rescinded that practice, and humanitarian agencies are fearful that refugees may risk returning to Syria to obtain their original certificates.
Regional agreements like the 1978 Convention on the Recognition of Studies, Diplomas and Degrees in Higher Education in the Arab States may help alleviate some concerns. Arab countries are expected to adopt a revised version of that convention in the year ahead.
UNESCO has formulated a global treaty on recognition of higher education qualifications that will be put forward for adoption in 2019. It aims to ensure mutual recognition of qualifications in a fair and transparent manner.
For those still waiting to resume their studies or career, though, the ordeal of starting over in a new country can take a psychological toll.
