Kings – Written most likely by Jeremiah in captivity.
Chronicles – Written by Ezra post exile. Practical lessons Ezra 9:1- Teaches them how to live thier lives in a way that gains God's blessing. 58% of the book is original.
Prophets – We will look at how each of the prophets of the Old Testament fit into the Big picture of God's Story with His people.
Today we are going to begin with what led up to this shattering of the nation of Israel. The first thing we must realize is that there is a lot of baggage and History here. We can point to one big event that caused the division in the nation but that really isn't the whole story. Just like in our lives we can point to one event and say there it is that is when it all went wrong but truly there is always more background and issues that contributed to the mess we find ourselves in. The same is true here.
We could talk about the divisive nature of the Jewish tribes, or the failed parenting strategies of His father. The lack of a heathy family structure, we could point to any of these things as excuses for what happened but the truth is Solomon made a choice and that was the problem.
The choices we make matter. There is actually very little in life that we can control, but the one thing we can control are the choices we make. I get frustrated when I hear people so well I could help it I had not choice. That is wrong. We ALWAYS have a choice.
Andy Stanley wrote an amazing book that someday we will go through as a church called, THE PRINCIPLE OF THE PATH. In that book he explains that the choices we make lead to the destination of our lives. There is a classic question He alludes to in the book. Question: How did I end up here? How many of you have asked that question before, if not audible at least in your mind.
The truth is you ended up where you were at because of the choices your made.
Why are we talking about this right now because it is central to this whole series. You see Solomon was King. Solomon was (out side of Jesus) the wisest man ever to live. Becuase of God's blessing in his life He was given by God, emmense wisdom, riches and power. 1 Kings 3.
Solomon had everything a king, or anyone for that matter could ever want. Wisdom, Money, influence and the favor of God. But as we will see none of those things are enough to keep Solomon from making poor choices and going away from God's plan for him and his family.
Let's look at the turning point in his life.
STOP RIGHT THERE. Do you see that? God appeared to Him. This is actually the second time God appears to Solomon. We will come back to that in a minute.
1. We can never underestimate our desires of the flesh. Our desires may manifest themselves in different ways, but we all are prone to struggle with them mightily. This is why we need to go to war with our flesh and ask the Holy Spirit to go to work in our minds and hearts each and every day.
2. Having an encounter with God is not enough. Solomon had two different times that God appeared to Him. Most of the people in the Old Testement never saw God even once. Knowing God's word is not the same as obeying God's will. God spoke directly to Solomon. He was clear about what Solomon was to do. God speaks clearly to us through is word, He is clear at what we are to do. There is no excuse for much of our sin. We make excuses and say things like, well that was a different time. Or well we live in a different culture. We need to stop making excuses for our sin! The amount of your spiritual experience does not determine your level of spirituality. Obedience is the indicator of maturity. You could go to church all your life, have an amazing experience of God moving in your life, and still be a baby spiritually or even not be a believer at all.
3. The giftings of God do not do not trump our submission to God. Wisdom never trumps obedience.
4. God does not expect perfection, He expects humble submission.
5. God will not wink at our sin. – God is full of grace, but He also disciplines those whom He loves. Here we see that God disciplines Solomon for his sin. God would take the kingdom and split it because of Solomon's sin. We often mistake God's patience (grace) for his impotence.
1. Our sin never effects only us. It has residual effects on all those around us. The higher the profile the more destructive the consequences.
Now, we may be tempted to see this as God being unfair by punishing Solomon's son and even Israel instead of Solomon. That's understandable. But Solomon's son was far from innocent in how he tried to lead Israel. It was not like he was an innocent bystander when the kingdom actually split in two. That is next week. And as for the people, we know that they struggled with idolatry all along. So they weren't innocent either.
1. Let's not look past the biggest takeaway—the gospel.
Jesus is the greater Solomon.
King Solomon was tempted in the flesh and gave in to temptation, sinned, led his people into idolatry and tore God's people apart.
King Jesus was tempted in the flesh, but He didn't give in to temptation. Jesus never sinned, and led His people to the Father and brought God's people together as part of the church.
Jesus succeeded where Solomon failed. Solomon is not the hero of the story. Jesus IS.
And in Jesus, we (if we make the choice to accept what he has done for us on the cross, AND have submitted our lives to Him) have been credited with His righteousness so that we too are seen by God as fully obedient to the Father.
Let's get serious about the choices we make and the life we live.

Cybercriminal greeners from Iran attack companies worldwide for financial gain
August 24, 2020 By Pierluigi Paganini
Group-IB has detected financially motivated attacks carried out in June by newbie threat actors from Iran.
The attackers used Dharma ransomware and a mix of publicly available tools to target companies in Russia, Japan, China, and India. All the affected organizations had hosts with Internet-facing RDP and weak credentials. The hackers typically demanded a ransom between 1-5 BTC. The newly discovered hacker group suggests that Iran, which has been known as a cradle of state-sponsored APT groups for years, now also accommodates financially motivated cybercriminals.
Group-IB researchers have recently observed increased activities around Dharma ransomware distribution. Dharma, also known as Crysis, has been distributed under a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model at least since 2016. Its source code popped up for sale in March 2020 making it available to a wider audience. During an incident response engagement for a company in Russia, Group-IB's DFIR team established that Persian-speaking newbie hackers were behind a new wave of Dharma distribution. Even though the exact number of victims is unknown, the discovered forensic artifacts allowed to establish the geography of their campaigns and the toolset, which is far behind the level of sophistication of big league Iranian APTs.
It was revealed that the operators scanned ranges of IPs for hosts with Internet-facing RDP and weak credentials in Russia, Japan, China, and India. To do so, they used a popular software called Masscan – the same technique was employed by Fxmsp, an infamous seller of access to corporate networks. Once vulnerable hosts were identified, the attackers deployed NLBrute to brute-force their way into the system and to check the validity of obtained credentials on other accessible hosts in the network. In some attacks, they attempted to elevate privileges using exploit for CVE-2017-0213.
Interestingly, the threat actors likely didn't have a clear plan on what to do with the compromised networks. Once they established the RDP connection, they decide on which tools to deploy to move laterally. For instance, to disable built-in antivirus software, the attackers used Defender Control and Your Uninstaller. The latter was downloaded from Iranian software sharing website – the Google search query in Persian language "دانلود نرم افزار youre unistaller" was discovered in the Chrome artifacts. Other tools were downloaded by the attackers from Persian-language Telegram channels when they were already present in the network.
To scan for accessible hosts in the compromised network, threat actor used Advanced Port Scanner – another publicly available tool. After the network reconnaissance activities were completed, the adversary used collected information to move laterally through the network using the RDP protocol. The end goal of the attackers was to drop and execute a variant of Dharma ransomware: the adversary connected to the targeted hosts, dropped Dharma executable, and executed it manually. On average, the ransom demand was between 1-5 BTC.
"The fact Dharma source code has been made widely available led to the increase in the number of operators deploying it," said Oleg Skulkin, senior DFIR analyst at Group-IB. "It's surprising that Dharma landed in the hands of Iranian script kiddies who used it for financial gain, as Iran has traditionally been a land of state-sponsored attackers engaged in espionage and sabotage. Despite that these cybercriminals use quite common tactics, techniques and procedures they have been quite effective. Therefore, we believe it's important to provide some recommendations on how to protect against them and give a complete outline of the MITRE ATT&CK mapping."
The pandemics exposed a great number of vulnerable hosts with many employees working from homes and the vector became increasingly popular among cybercriminals. Therefore, the default RDP port 3389 should be edited by changing it to any other. As the attackers usually need several attempts to brute force passwords and gain access to the RDP, it is important to enable account lockout policies by limiting the number of failed login attempts per user. Threat intelligence solutions enable organizations to mitigate risks and further damage by quickly identifying stolen data and tracking down the source of the breach, while specialized threat detection systems allow to discover unwanted intrusions, traffic anomalies within the corporate network, and attempts to gain unauthorized access to any data.

Nine years of Hartz IV
"Nine years ago, Germany has implemented Hartz IV, the last one in a series of welfare state reforms, merging the former separate systems of long term unemployment benefit and basic income support into a new system. The article summarizes the main empirical findings from a growing field and draws a few conclusions. Mainly, after years of heavy debates and practical experiences in Germany and elsewhere, it has to be said the goal of substantially reducing poverty and saving public money has not really been achieved. Although the system is working well in terms of financial support and population coverage, there are problems in providing cultural and social participation, and even the money is not enough under certain family constellations. Moreover, the idea to solve every poverty problem by rigid work first policies does obviously conflict with the observable heterogeneity of poverty situations. Main results are the disappearance of the privileges of persons in long term unemployment, a shift from permanent unemployment to unsteady low wage employment and need for further subsidies for a major part of the poor, as well as a consolidation of the normative image of a 'normal working citizen', making it harder to get support for people who don't fit into that scheme."

Pitched as a fairytale for adults, 'Fated' tells the story of one man losing the love of his life, and the strange, mystical journey he embarks on during one New Year's Eve to get her back. Michael Angelis stars as Tatty, a middle-aged-artist obsessed with the young and beautiful free spirit Amy (an irritating Katrine de Candole). Her sudden, untimely death sends Tatty spiralling into a world of madness and alcoholism until, 13 years later, the statue he creates in her image miraculously comes to life. Unfortunately, writer director Nicola Scott's first feature is a mess of notions and ideas that fail to engage on any level. The characters are neither magical nor believable, the acting is sub-par and the story meanders and rambles like the crazed old bloke at its centre. The action takes place in and around Liverpool's bombed out, derelict St Luke's church, an undeniably enchanting setting, but none of that charm or whimsy rubs off on the action, resulting in a dull, lifeless film that is anything but fantastic.


Trophy Encounters Guide Service | The Quest...Will There be a Part 6?
The Quest...Will There be a Part 6?
Boy oh Boy! Brrr is a popular phrase around the office water cooler this morning. As I drove in, I couldn't help but take a path leading me around several local lakes. Sure enough! The ice that was obviously inevitable was floating over much of the waters. Even some of the big bays started to show that skim layer. So is it over?
That's a question I have been pondering all morning. Not that I can't handle the cold, but will I realistically be able to get my boat into the water? I've been asked by several people this morning if I am through. My only response. I hope not. Key word there is "hope." I am not ready to call it a year just yet. It seems that I am holding onto any possibility to continue my quest, and hope is all I can muster at this point.
I can tell you this much. I am going to do everything in my power to get my boat to float once again. The weather looks favorable even with the crappy reports. I called a local resident to the Mille Lacs area this morning, and he chuckled at my thoughts. Good luck was all he had to say. I was also sent an image looking across the big pond. Notice the date on the top left, and notice the ice on well, the entire screen. I guess I will look at it this way. I have never called it quits without seeing something with my own two eyes. Not that I don't trust people, but probably because I am a little more insane than most, and I will come up with an idea that just might work. At least I hope!
Did another year just pass and leave me without the record? Did I just get outsmarted by a fish? Was Mike the only one that will put hooks into Edna, Marge or Diane? Stay tuned...I'm hoping the answer is NO! And, if you were wondering. Yes, I have lost my mind!
That's A Wrap...Or Is It?

Justus Bertrand Wockatz, född 8 oktober 1856 i Göteborg, död 27 augusti 1940 i Djursholm, var en svensk lärare och grundläggare av Hagaströms mindre folkskoleseminarium. Han var bror till Carl August Wockatz.

Wockatz blev student i Göteborg 1875, studerade i Tyskland och Frankrike. Efter i Uppsala filosofie kandidatexamen i Uppsala 1883 och studier i jämförande religionshistoria vid universitetet i Leiden vintern 1885–1886 avlade han folkskollärarexamen 1891 samt var 1893–1904 folkskolinspektör i Hälsingland. Därunder kom hans uppmärksamhet alltmer att riktas på de s.k. mindre folkskolorna, folkskolor med såväl småskole- som folkskoleavdelning, båda skötta av en och samma småskollärarinna. Han fann, att deras antal ökades under årens lopp, inte bara absolut, utan även i förhållande till de egentliga folkskolorna, och iakttog, hur svårt arbetet var i dessa mindre folkskolor, inte minst därför, att lärarinnorna, som ju blott genomgått småskoleseminarier, stod handfallna inför uppgiften att undervisa även fyra folkskoleklasser och att leda många klasser på en gång. Han iakttog vidare, att också antalet av s.k. biträdande lärarinnor, även de småskollärarinnor, som undervisade i den egentliga folkskolans 1:a och 2:a klass, växte betydligt.

Wockatz beslöt att på egen risk försöka ordna ett första mindre folkskoleseminarium, med uppgift att utbilda lärarinnor just för dessa två skolformer, framför allt för de svårskötta mindre folkskolorna. Då dessa huvudsakligen fanns i Norrland och nästan alltid låg mer eller mindre ensligt på landsbygden, ansåg han, att ett seminarium för dem borde förläggas till Norrland och på landet, för att eleverna skulle vänjas vid att trivas på landet. Han inköpte därför ett område i Valbo socken nära Gävle i närheten av Hagaströms järnvägsstation samt lät där 1905–1906 uppföra en seminariebyggnad och 1912 en rektorsbostad.

Då han vid tilltagande ålder ej ville riskera, att seminariet ej skulle fortleva, anhöll han genom gåvobrev 1919 att få överlämna seminariet till staten mot åtnjutande av en årlig ränta på 2,5 % av det på seminariet nedlagda kapitalet. Regering och riksdag godtog 1920 erbjudandet, och seminariet övergick den 1 januari 1921 i statens ägo.

Tillsammans med sin bror Emil upprättade Wockatz 1896 en uppfostringsanstalt vid Gullgruva i Skogs församling för vanartiga gossar. De överlämnade den med insamlade fonder 1905 till Gävleborgs läns landsting. I början av 1900-talet ordnade han med hjälp av intresserade ett vilohem för Gävleborgs läns småskollärarinnor.

Justus Wockatz är begravd på Örgryte gamla kyrkogård.

BTS Gets Candid About Crossing Over in America As an Asian Group
BTS is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly's latest issue, hitting newsstands on Friday (March 29).
Here's what the massive popular South Korean boy band had to say…
RM, on their influence in music: "With seven members we have seven different tastes, of course. So when it comes to songwriting, it's like a big competition."
J-Hope, on their individual taste: "We'll write a lyric and decide, 'This sort of reflects me [more], who I am and my own color,' so we'll want to keep that for a solo song."
RM, on crossing over in America: "You know, Latin pop has its own Grammys in America, and it's quite different. I don't want to compare, but I think it's even harder as an Asian group. A Hot 100 and a Grammy nomination, these are our goals. But they're just goals—we don't want to change our identity or our genuineness to get the number one. Like if we sing suddenly in full English, and change all these other things, then that's not BTS."

I've recently downloaded the RockWorks demo, and am trying it out. I noticed the following quote in the help files, "Stratigraphic layers be listed in the same order from borehole to borehole. Units can be missing, but they cannot change order." Does this mean that repeated stratigraphic sections are not possible. I sometimes work in areas where faulting and/or folding causes sections to be repeated (or inverted) so this in an important capability for me.


The present buyer is backing out due to too high counter offer. The house was listed at $181k and is now at $134,500 after 5 months on the market and no offers. Needs extensive work due to deferred maintenance and exterior damage caused by a dog. Pictures, CMA, and written estimate for repairs were provided. FNMA/Ditech wants the seller to file an insurance claim with the lender for the damage. The seller cannot afford the insurance deductible and has moved out. Another agent showed house today and have a new offer for $135,000. Is there any way to get around this? The house will not sell at $160k, which is what FNMA/Ditech wants.
Have you attempted a value dispute with FNMA? Not taking out the claim could be an issue, I've seen this many times in the past.
You can jump over Ditech head and go right to FNMA for a dispute. They have a dispute portal online you can fill out if you represent the seller. This is very effective.
Thank you for your replies. Went through FNMA and they are the ones who counted back and asked for claim to be submitted.
Agreed with the previous posters, a value dispute is your best option at this point. I've had much greater success with those when I have provided FNMA with solid evidence to document my value claim. CMAs and BPOs can be a bit arbitrary, inaccurate, or simply skewed. A repair estimate from a licensed contractor addressing all of the deficiencies with the property and a hard cost to fix them, can speak volumes (this repair cost can of course be.....creatively embellished in your favor). Likewise, a certified appraisal will usually be weighted by FNMA much more heavily than a BPO or CMA. This is obviously a cost and risk for the buyer in hiring an appraiser, but if they really want that property, it may be the only to get the price down.
To echo what Brett had previously stated though, the issue over not taking out the insurance claim could be problematic. Have you provided FNMA documentation stating that the borrower simply does not have the funds to pay the deductible, thus making a claim a rather moot point? I've found that a signed/dated letter from the borrower stating anything to be much more effective than simply telling them such.

In the 1980s, Yamaha's DX7 keyboard popularised a glossier, cleaner approach to sound generation than that of analogue synthesisers: frequency modulation (FM) synthesis.
Almost the antithesis to beginner-level subtractive, FM (frequency modulation) synthesis involves the modulation of an audible 'carrier' oscillator by an inaudible 'modulator' waveform'. This introduces 'sideband' harmonics into the original signal, creating an entirely new, more complex wave shape.
You can read more about FM synthesis in the July edition of Future Music.
Still one of the most powerful soft synths around. Its Mod Matrix, Arpeggiator and MSEGs bring the sound design potential, and the synth can even be loaded as an effect plugin.
This emulation of Yamaha's DX7 takes everything about the much-loved 80s synth and expands upon it with a beefed-up mod matrix, step sequencer and more.
This type of synthesis is never easy, but Ableton have managed to make an instrument with an intuitive layout and workflow that's the perfect entry point for newbies and experts alike.
Known as possibly the best free FM synth out there, Dexed is another plugin instrument inspired by the DX7 - and it can also act as a patch manager/librarian for that and other FM synths.
Urs Heckmann's monster synth has a modular architecture, meaning you can freely patch audio and control signals in whatever way your impulses take you.
With only one carrier and one modulator, Logic Pro's built-in mini FM soft synth could be one of the most basic around - but it's still capable of deep bass, bell tones and more.

Burghardt is fighting a losing battle with skin cancer, and his son Jonathan has put his life on hold to care for his dying father. Years earlier, it was Burghardt who had made the sacrifices, raising Jonathan by himself following the tragic death of his wife. With his father too ill to work, Jonathan is left to work with his aunt Martha to run the family farm. Though all three live together on the farm, Martha and Burghardt have not spoken in years. Even with Burghardt growing closer and closer to death, neither is willing to put aside their hostilities and make peace.
So deep is the divide between Burghardt and Martha that neither will speak of it with Jonathan, who's left completely in the dark about the origin of their feud and so much more. But when Martha greets a stranger from their past with a shotgun, the secrets and lies begin to unravel. Soon, Jonathan will confront the truth behind his mother's death and his father's life. With time winding down, Burghardt will have one last chance to rekindle the life that he set aside so many years ago.
Jonathan is a remarkable film about the sacrifices that family makes for each other, painful secrets, and hidden sexuality. Each scene in this emotional masterpiece is shot as though it were borrowed from a landscape painting, and the beauty of the film's cinematography is matched only by its leading actor. Jannis Niewöhner (ImageOut 2015 favorite The Girl King) headlines an extraordinary cast, who deliver powerful emotions with incredible tenderness. Brooding, honest, heartbreaking, and beautiful, Jonathan is a film no one should miss.

Q: Show $2 \lt f(x) \lt 2.8$? I have a question about a function $f(x)$:
$$f(x) = -x + \frac{x^2}{x-2} - \frac{20}{x^2 + x - 6},\qquad x>2$$
simplifies to
$$f(x) = 2x + \frac{10}{x + 3},\qquad x>2$$
How would you show the range of $f(x)$ is $2 < f(x) < 2.8?$
Thank you.

A: I think it should be $$\frac{2x+10}{x+3}=\frac{2(x+3)+4}{x+3}=2+\frac4{x+3}$$
As $\displaystyle x>2,x+3>5\implies0<\frac1{x+3}<\frac15$

Kevin S. Giles (born 1952) is an American journalist and author whose books are set in his native western Montana. He was born and raised in western Montana. Two of his books take place in his hometown of Deer Lodge: a novel, "Summer of the Black Chevy" (2015) and the nonfiction work, "Jerry's Riot: The True Story of Montana's 1959 Prison Disturbance." (2005)

In October 2016, Giles published "One Woman Against War: The Jeannette Rankin Story," a biography of the first woman elected to the United States Congress. It is an expanded edition of his 1980 Rankin biography, "Flight of the Dove." Rankin was elected in 1916 when women in many states did not have the right to vote. She had led a post-suffrage drive to organize voting in Montana, her home state, and Montana in 1914 joined a bloc of western states that enfranchised women at the polls. "Flight of the Dove," published by Touchstone Press in Portland, Oregon, sold out of its first printing.

As a journalist, Giles has been a reporter, editor and designer at six daily newspapers, including three in Montana. He also worked for The Courier Mail in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and North Dakota's Bismarck Tribune where he was chief editor from 1988 to 1997. Giles was an editor, photographer and staff writer at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis-St. Paul until 2018.

14 Things to Know About Living in New Orleans
City Guides // July 22, 2019 // Extra Space Storage
Considering moving to New Orleans? The Big Easy is one of the most iconic cities in the South, thanks to its vibrant live music scene, gorgeous architecture, Cajun and Creole cultural influences, and—of course—the city's legendary Mardi Gras celebrations. But what's it like to live there? Here are 14 things to know about living in NOLA!
Find a New Start in the Big Easy
Photo via @barracokevin
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005 displaced more than a million New Orleans residents and hurt the city's economy for more than a decade, experts say Louisiana's largest city is back on the rise. People moving to the Crescent City will find a diverse range of employment opportunities in top industries like tourism, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and oil refining. In addition, the cost of living in New Orleans is 1% lower than the national average, making it an affordable place to live on the Gulf Coast.
Familiarize Yourself with NOLA Districts
Photo via @midcitymedia
Though New Orleans only spans about 350 square miles, the city feels much larger than that with 13 unique districts—which contain 72 different neighborhoods. From older parts of the city like the French Quarter and Esplanade Ridge to newer expanding suburbs like New Orleans East and Metairie, each area of the Big Easy has its own distinct vibe and things to do. Not sure where to start your search for homes in NOLA? Check out these best neighborhoods in New Orleans to find safe, affordable areas!
Discover Amazing Architecture

Architecture enthusiasts will love living in New Orleans! Just exploring the city and its various districts is like being on an architecture walking tour. You'll find everything from Spanish Colonial and Greek Revival public buildings to Victorian bungalows and Creole townhouses in NOLA, thanks to the city's long history influenced by several different cultures. Where are some of NOLA's coolest architecture spots? Check out St. Louis Cathedral (the oldest cathedral in the U.S) and The Presbytère in the French Quarter. Schedule tours to see historic homes like Longue Vue House & Gardens in Lakewood or Pitot House in Bayou St. John. And, of course, you can always stroll through neighborhoods like Tremé, Garden District, and Marigny/Bywater to see some of the area's most diverse and beautiful homes.
Hang Out in the French Quarter

A favorite among both tourists and local residents alike, the French Quarter is easily one of New Orleans' best neighborhoods. Located in the heart of the city, the "Crown Jewel of New Orleans" is home to historic landmarks and gorgeous Creole townhouses, as well as some of the city's best restaurants, nightlife, and street musicians. Looking for things to do in the French Quarter? Stroll around the beautiful Jackson Square to get some fresh air and see the work of local street artists. Try the handmade beignets, po-boys, gumbo, and other New Orleans specialties at Cafe Beignet. Explore the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum to check out artifacts and learn more about NOLA's Voodoo history. Grab some drinks and challenge friends to karaoke at lively bar Cat's Meow. Or make a dinner reservation at NOLA's oldest restaurant, Antoine's, where you can get everything from steak and lamb chops to crab and gulf shrimp.
Let the Good Times Roll at Mardi Gras

The one thing everyone knows about NOLA is that it has the best Mardi Gras celebrations in the U.S. Mardi Gras (or Fat Tuesday) coincides with the season of Carnival, which dates back to the European Middle Ages and is celebrated all over the world before the Christian Lenten season begins. Though New Orleans has Mardi Gras celebrations starting in early January running through most of February (and sometimes early March), the most popular time is the weekend right before Fat Tuesday. Though Mardi Gras celebrations in the city can get pretty rowdy—especially in the French Quarter along the infamous Bourbon Street—there are plenty of family-friendly Mardi Gras celebrations and parades throughout the city, too.
Experience Other New Orleans Festivals
Photo via @jbrasted
Mardi Gras isn't the only festival in New Orleans you can attend! Whether you're interested in an art, cultural, food, or music event, NOLA has tons of festivals that are sure to fit what you're looking for. Attend the ten-day New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (or Jazz Fest), where you'll hear all kinds of music from Afro-Caribbean and Cajun to bluegrass and rap. Try wines from local wineries and dig into some of the Big Easy's best food at the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience. Hear empowering speeches from special guests like Former First Lady Michelle Obama and filmmaker Ava Duvernay and explore fashion and beauty exhibitions at the enormously popular Essence Festival. Join thousands of runners as they try to escape roller derby players dressed as bulls during the hilarious Running of the Bulls, which pays tribute to the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain. Or check out the concerts, dance parties, and the largest LGBTQ parade on the Gulf Coast at New Orleans Pride!
Get Your Education at NOLA Colleges

Thinking about moving to New Orleans for higher education? Crescent City is home to tons of highly-rated universities and colleges. Check out the private Tulane University in Uptown, where you can study at law and medical schools that have been around since the 19th century. Head to the public University of New Orleans in Gentilly, which offers top programs in business, engineering, and psychology. Major in nursing, health sciences, fine arts, or law at the private Loyola University New Orleans in Audubon. Or get your degree in medicine, mathematics, public health, or social sciences at the private HBCU Xavier University of Louisiana in Gert Town.
Check Out the Incredible Museums

Wondering what to do in New Orleans? Spend some time with NOLA's museums, art galleries, and cultural attractions! Visit the National WWII Museum to see exhibits featuring stories, artifacts, photos, and reconstructed vehicles and aircraft from World War II. Explore the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), where you'll find art from all over the world and an unforgettable sculpture garden. Head to the New Orleans Jazz Museum to learn more about famous jazz musicians like Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, and George Lewis—and even see some of their original instruments. Make your way to the Louisiana State Museum to check out exhibits all about life in Louisiana and the history of New Orleans. Or get to know more about Southern literature, artwork, music, and heritage at the Odgen Museum of Southern Art.
Explore the Cities of the Dead
Photo via @greg_is_downtown
One thing you'll definitely notice while living in New Orleans is that the city doesn't have the typical cemetery setup. Because of the area's high water table, placing caskets and coffins beneath the ground isn't possible, so NOLA cemeteries are filled with mausoleums and other above-ground burial chambers. It's both beautiful and eerie! Unsurprisingly, New Orleans' "Cities of the Dead" (as they're often called) are popular attractions among tourists and local residents. In fact, you can visit cemeteries like St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 and St. Roch Cemetery to learn more about their histories and even see the tombs of famous New Orleans historical figures. Some of the cemeteries require guided tours by licensed tour groups, while others allow you to explore on your own—so be sure to check before going!
Make a Date with the Outdoors

Want to take advantage of the beautiful New Orleans weather? Get outside and experience the city's incredible outdoor activities! Explore the enormous Audubon Park, where you can go swimming, play a round of 18 holes on the public golf course, or take the kids to Audubon Zoo. Enjoy beautiful views of the Mississippi River during a brunch or dinner sightseeing cruise with Steamboat NATCHEZ. Tour the Garden District or the French Quarter by bike with Flambeaux Bicycle Tours. Visit Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, where you can go fishing or crabbing, watch local wildlife, or hike along the marshes. Take a ride through the lagoons at City Park on the romantic NOLA Gondola. Or hop into a kayak and get to know the local swamps up close with New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tours.
Root for Your Local Pro Sports Teams

If you've always wanted to live in a city with pro sports, New Orleans is an excellent place to be! Like football? Catch the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints (NFL) at Mercedes-Benz Superdome. More into basketball? You can find the New Orleans Pelicans (NBA) at Smoothie King Center. Prefer soccer? Cheer on the New Orleans Jesters (NPSL) at Pan American Stadium. What about America's favorite pastime? You can take yourself out to the ballgame to watch the New Orleans Baby Cakes (MiLB) at Shrine on Airline.
Listen to Live Music Almost Anywhere

Looking for the best live music in New Orleans? It's all around you! Listen to jazz, blues, and funk at The Spotted Cat Music Club in Marigny. Catch performances featuring the famous Preservation Hall Jazz Band at Preservation Hall in the French Quarter. Hear live piano, honky-tonk sounds, and soul music at Le Bon Temps Roule in Uptown. Dig the big brass, jazz and blues, and funk bands at Maple Leaf Bar in Leonidas. Find everything from heavy metal and punk to Eastern European folk at hidden gem Siberia Lounge in St. Roch. Or stroll through neighborhoods like the French Quarter and Tremé, where you can discover some of New Orleans' best street musicians like Doreen Ketchens, Kenny Terry, and Tuba Skinny.
Lose Yourself in NOLA Food
Photo via @williemaesnola
One of the best things about living in NOLA is the food! Of course, Cajun-Creole cuisine and Southern comfort food reign supreme in the Big Easy, but you can find all kinds of dining options across the city. Where are some of the best places to eat in New Orleans? Try the Grilled Veal Tenderloin or Pecan Roasted Gulf Fish at haute Creole restaurant Commander's Palace in Garden District. Find the best fried chicken in New Orleans at Willie Mae's Scotch House in Tremé. Grab brisket, chicken, or pork street tacos from Mexican food truck Taceaux Loceaux in West Riverside. Order breakfast favorites like biscuits and gravy, shrimp and grits, or avocado toast at brunch spot Willa Jean in Warehouse District. Or get a taste of the Caribbean with spicy jerk chicken, fried plantains, and shrimp wraps at Jamaican restaurant Coco Hut in Seventh Ward.
Schedule a Night Out on the Town
Photo via @scottshilstone
Searching for the best bars in New Orleans for weekend adventures? Stop in at Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar in the French Quarter—one of the oldest bars in America—for frozen daiquiris and hurricanes. Try the House Old-Fashioned, a NOLA Irish Channel Stout, or one of more than 300 whiskeys on the shelf at Barrel Proof in Lower Garden District. Visit dive bar favorite Snake & Jake's Christmas Club Lounge in East Carrollton for cheap beers, moody lighting, and friendly bar dogs. Hang out on the dog-friendly patio, catch the big game on TV, order some draft beers, and dig into some of the best bar food in NOLA at sports bar The Bulldog in Mid-City. Or enjoy drink specials and Saturday night drag shows at gay-friendly bar The Golden Lantern in the French Quarter—just remember to bring cash!

Castroneves gets his life back with Indy 500 win
The tears flowed as soon as Helio Castroneves turned his red-and-white car into Victory Lane, and he really got emotional when Roger Penske leaned over to give his driver a hug.
"Thanks for giving my life back," Castroneves said between sobs.
He could've lost it all. He could've gone to prison for six years. Instead, he was celebrating another win at the Indianapolis 500.
Castroneves capped a perfect month of May by winning at the Brickyard for the third time Sunday, a triumph that was especially poignant given what he was facing just 5 1/2 weeks ago.
From accused tax cheat to Indy champion — this race was a lot longer than 500 miles.
"Let's celebrate now!" he screamed to the quarter of a million fans.
Castroneves became the ninth driver to win the historic race three times, and his timing couldn't have been better. On April 17, he was acquitted of most charges at a federal tax evasion trial, and the remaining count was finally thrown out last Friday.
"This is the best month of May ever," Castroneves said, and it was hard to argue otherwise.
He won the pole. Then he won the pit-stop competition. And now, the biggest win of all, No. 3 for the guy who drives car No. 3, leaving him only one win away from joining the most elite group of all: four-time Indy winners A.J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears.
For Penske, it was Indy win No. 15 — more than any other car owner and ensuring that the Captain has never gone more than three years between wins at this place, except for the time he didn't run because of a split in open-wheel racing.
"He smiles only two times: on his birthday and when he wins the Indy 500," Castroneves said of his boss.
Castroneves pulled away over the final laps to beat Dan Wheldon and Danica Patrick, who eclipsed her historic fourth-place finish as a rookie in 2005 by crossing the strip of bricks in third.
Patrick, however, was never really a factor on this day. It belonged to Castroneves, who pumped his fist all the way down the final straightaway.
"I want to climb the fence," said the driver known as "Spiderman," referring to his signature celebration.
Then he did just that, climbing out of his car after the victory lap and scaling the fence along the main grandstand with his pit crew. Someone tossed him a green-and-yellow Brazilian flag.
It was clearly a popular victory. The fans who turned out on a sweltering late spring day were on their feet, cheering and waving their caps as Castroneves sped around the 2.5-mile oval for the final time.
"You guys kept me strong," Castroneves told the crowd. "You guys are the best. I'm honored to have fans like you.
Crashes took out some of the biggest names in the field, including Tony Kanaan, Marco Andretti and Graham Rahal. The most frightening wreck occurred on lap 173, when Brazilians Vitor Meira and Raphael Matos got together going into the first turn.
Meira's car veered head-on into the padded outside wall. He was removed from the car, put on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital complaining of severe lower-back pain. Later, IndyCar officials said he sustained two broken vertebrae in his back, but the injury should be treatable without surgery.
The lengthy caution period after the Meira-Matos crash ensured that everyone had enough fuel to get to the finish. When the race restarted with 17 laps to go, Castroneves got a great jump on Wheldon and Patrick and pulled away to win by nearly 2 seconds, more than two football fields.
"At the end, I just didn't have enough for Helio," said Wheldon, who won the race in 2005.
The winning speed was 150.318 mph in a race that had only four leaders: Castroneves and Penske teammate Ryan Briscoe, along with the last two winners, Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti.
Dixon, the defending champion, led more laps than anyone (73), and 2007 winner Franchitti, returning to Indy after a disappointing foray into stock cars, was out front for 50. Castroneves led 66 and Briscoe the other 11.
Castroneves started from the pole and led the first seven laps, then laid back for a good part of the overcast, sweltering afternoon. Finally, on a restart after the sixth of eight yellow flags, Castroneves surged past Dixon to reclaim the lead with 59 laps to go.
It was his the rest of the way.
"I'm very happy for him," Patrick said. "I'm glad to have him back, and obviously he's great for the sport."
Indeed, Castroneves is perhaps the most recognizable open-wheel driver in the U.S. outside of Patrick, his appeal growing even more after he was crowned "Dancing with the Stars" champion in 2007.
Then he made headlines of a different kind, dragged into court in shackles after a federal jury accused him of hiding millions in an offshore company.
Penske never lost faith in his driver, and promised that his car would be waiting if his legal woes were resolved. After missing the season-opening race, Castroneves was acquitted by a jury and immediately hopped on a plane for an event at Long Beach, Calif.
No. 3 was waiting, just as Penske had promised.
"I had so much faith that Helio hadn't done anything wrong," the team owner said. "We were never, ever going to leave his side."
Dixon was delayed getting a tire changed with 39 laps to go and slipped back to sixth, failing to become the first driver since Castroneves in 2001-02 to win back-to-back 500s. Franchitti settled for seventh after he also got held up on pit road late when he tried to pull away with the fuel hose still attached.
Two drivers who don't even have full-time rides in the IndyCar series crossed the line behind Patrick. Townsend Bell was fourth, while Will Power — who filled in while Castroneves was on trial — finished fifth in a third Team Penske car.
It may have been a perfect month for Castroneves, but it wasn't a perfect race. He had problems with his radio all day, and there were gearbox issues when he came into the pits. But he knew what to do on the track.
"Once I got in the front, it was, 'Never look back,"' Castroneves said.
Rounding out the top 10 were Ed Carpenter in eighth, Paul Tracy and Hideki Mutoh. Tracy was racing at Indy for the first time since the disputed 2002 event, when a late caution froze the field just as he was going past Castroneves. The outspoken Canadian is still convinced he won that race — his appeal was turned down — but there was no doubt about this one.
It was Castroneves all the way.
"Wow, three," he said. "I can't believe it."
The race had barely started when Mario Moraes drifted to the outside and made contact with Andretti, sending both cars into the wall going into the second turn.
The Andretti curse remains in force at Indy. Marco said there was nothing he could do when the 20-year-old Moraes pinched him into the wall.
"The kid doesn't get it, and he never will," said Andretti, only 22 himself. "He's just clueless out there."
Neither driver was hurt, and Andretti even got back on the track for 56 laps to finish 30th in the 33-car field.
Rahal, the 20-year-old son of 1986 Indy winner Bobby Rahal, crashed on the 56th lap in virtually the same spot where he hit the wall a year earlier. He started fourth and was running fifth when his car went high coming out of the fourth turn and slammed the barrier. He was not injured.
Kanaan was running third when something snapped in his No. 11 car, sending it straight into the wall at about 190 mph. The helpless machine slid through the third turn and into the SAFER barrier again before finally coming to a stop.
The popular Kanaan wasn't seriously hurt, but he sure was aching. It was another painful Indy moment for the hard-luck Brazilian, who had led the race a record seven straight years — but is still seeking his first 500 win.
"Me and this place," Kanaan said with a sigh.


Hot cocoa is one of those things that I've always loved but it has certainly never loved me back. The last time I had some, it was Swiss Miss with a little Bailey's and Dr. McGillicuddy's. Tasted amazing. Felt horrible. Recently I saw a recipe for dairy free hot cocoa somewhere and it's been stuck in my head since. Tonight I was chilly and craving something sweet and I have a box of coconut milk in the fridge that needs to be used up. I searched around the internet for recipes and most of them were basically the same so I just randomly picked one and followed it with my own modifications. I didn't let it heat up enough because I was afraid of scorching it, I'll do it better next time, but the taste was rich and delicious!
I heated the water in a hot shot first, then in a small saucepan combined the hot water, cocoa, sugar and salt.
Stir this mixture together until it's nice and hot but be careful not to let it burn.
Add the milk and stir until very hot, but not boiling.
Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla.
Next week begins our Biggest Loser at work challenge, so obviously I'm overloading on junk this week. I will probably try to make biscuits before the weekend is over. Maybe a creamy chicken recipe? YES. Definitely. Stay tuned!!
Yum, yum, yum! I've been drinking So Delicious coconut milk hot cocoa every night for the past few weeks! It doesn't get any better than this, does it?
I have just started dairy free (been GF for 7 mo). I wonder if you could make this adding coconut cream to make it thicker? Have you ever experimented with that?

I did not enjoy the first two prequel Star Wars, but they each had sections during which I thought the movies might not be so bad, and would perhaps be better than history (I'm only first watching them decades after the fact) had led me to believe. Other sections would end up negatively weighing down that thought, but at least moments of hope existed. I can't say the same for Episode III: the opening action sequence, a rescue of Senator Palpatine by Obi-Wan and Anakin, has some inventive design work and acceptable choreography, but it's tired; it's a retread of things already attempted in Episode II, if showing off some atypically spirited direction from Lucas. The punctuation of this sequence is the first of several groan worthy moments during which Anakin is "manipulated" – in quotes because I'm not sure if holding someone's hand and telling them what to do is manipulation – toward the Dark Side of the Force, and Episode III makes clear its sole agenda: to connect this film, as obviously as possible, to the original trilogy. We get a rinse and repeat of this process throughout: forced, extensive action sequences (that seem rather video game inspired); some obvious moment where Anakin says or does something that can't possibly be interpreted as anything other than self-serving, but his wife and mates are just like, "aw, Ani, you so silly;" and then some Star Wars IV, V or VI callback. It starts to become painful when we need to track both Obi-Wan's storyline – on the hunt for the separatist General Grevious – and Anakin's – hanging out with Palpatine – storyline, as Lucas (and / or editors Roger Barton and Ben Burtt) proves to have the most atrocious sense of pacing: when one side of the story reaches a crescendo, we cut to the other. That builds, then we cut back. Instead of stacking up peaks, it just creates disruption, and that each scene simply picks up right where it previously left off makes the passage of time nonsense, as well as calling into question the need to do the back and forth in the place.
And then: Order 66. This is the order called in by the badguy which kicks off the turn of events that essentially leads to The Empire, but it's hilarious overkill: everyone in the Republic, except the Jedi, Padmé, and Senator Organa, just flips an on-switch to be evil, including our wavering Anakin, who suddenly has it in him to just put up his Dark Lord hood and be all killy, earning us a PG-13 rating.
From here on out, it's just boss showdowns (againly horrendously stitched together) and beating us over the head with original trilogy "symbolism." I tried to halt my frustration with this and ask: would this be effective if I hadn't seen the original trilogy? Meaning: maybe I'm triggered because I think the callbacks are forced, when, perhaps if taken on their own terms, they work?
I'll accept that argument. But the overly soapy and obvious manner in which Lucas has constructed these films really prevents me from seeing that: he's assumed meaning and importance this whole way through his prequels, never quite serviced by what we see or hear, and that's at its worst – in my opinion – in Revenge of the Sith.
Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan) and Jimmy Smits (Senator Organa) struggle through their clunky dialogue to deliver relatively solid performances, but Natalie Portman (Padmé) is whittled down to a cliché bleating idiot, although sufficiently matched by Hayden Christensen's (Anakin) mealy-mouthed idiocy and whining.

Preview: The dB's Peter Holsapple to Release First Solo Album in 21 Years
Artist: Peter Holsapple
Title: Game Day
Label: Omnivore Recordings
You would think being an integral member of one of the most beloved power pop bands, The dB's, would be enough for a guy and his resumé. But no, Peter Holsapple just had to tour with R.E.M. and Hootie & the Blowfish, join Continental Drifters, and collaborate with John Hiatt, Indigo Girls, the Troggs, the Cowsills, Juliana Hatfield Three, Better Than Ezra, and so many others. Not one to rest on laurels, Peter has continually been in motion since his first recordings in 1972 with Rittenhouse Square.
Perhaps that's why he's releasing his first solo album in 21 years — he's been a busy, busy man. And, as Peter himself says, "And it's really 'solo,' too! I played and sang 99 44/100ths of the notes on this record. I wanted to be responsible for all of it, so I dove deep inside myself and the songs and came up with Game Day."
The album is set for July 27, 2018 release on Omnivore Recordings.
Game Day contains 13 new tracks, a bonus track, and two "super bonus tracks" — Holsapple's critically acclaimed single "Don't Mention the War" b/w "Cinderella Style," originally released in 2017. "After putting the single out on my own last year, I made the decision to put out an album. Some tunes are brand new, some have been in rotation for a bit, but all are worthy. My 'middle-aged Pet Sounds fantasy' is real, with the issues of middle age put to memorable melodies. The old guy at work in 'Tuff Day,' watching my parents' place get cleared out in 'Inventory,' a decades-late thank-you note to a college girlfriend in 'Commonplace' — they're all a part of the present-day me."
Game Day is prime Holsapple, whose recording career spans nearly five decades. It contains all the hooks, clever lyrics, and deft instrumentation one would expect. As he paraphrases Jeff Beck in the packaging, "Today, with all of the hard competition in the music business, it's almost impossible to come up with anything totally original. So I haven't, but I had a lot of fun making Game Day, and I hope it comes through when you hear it."

China's sustainable development path has once again attracted global attention and plaudits after President Xi Jinping reiterated the strategic choice in a landmark report delivered Wednesday.
Scholars and observers worldwide agree that the commitment and achievements of the world's largest developing country and second largest economy provide the struggling global economy with both a promising direction and a robust booster for future growth.
China's economy has been transiting from a phase of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development, Xi said in his report at the opening session of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
The CPC national congress, held every five years, elects the party's leadership and draws a blueprint for national development for the next five years and beyond.
It is imperative that China push forward supply-side structural reform and develop a modernized economy that features better quality, higher efficiency and more robust drivers of growth, Xi stressed.
Nele Noesselt, a German professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen, spoke highly of China's reform measures, which channel more resources towards a more sustainable model of economic growth.
"All these efforts will lead to greener and sustainable development and growth. That is really fascinating and really impressive," said Noesselt.
Xi's report also stressed once again the importance of satisfying the people's desire for a better life.
In the eyes of Sergio Ley Lopez, a former Mexican ambassador to China, China's commitment to important economic reforms for sustainable growth has led to "extraordinary development for all Chinese people."
Taking note of the rapidly growing income levels of the Chinese people, Lopez said China has delivered an attainment "never seen in human history, taking millions of people out of extreme poverty."
"I feel the world should see this with great attention and interest, in order to follow China's example," Lopez added.
B. R. Deepak, an Indian professor at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, stressed the driving force of technological innovation behind sustainable growth.
The "four new inventions," namely, the high-speed rail, Alipay, bike sharing, and online shopping, have unleashed the forces of domestic consumption and revolutionized the socio-economic landscape of China, noted the Indian scholar.
"China can count on a society looking to the future ... a society with sustainable development sharing a green economy, new technologies and promoting the environment," commented Ignacio Martinez, coordinator of the Laboratory of Analysis of Trade, Economics and Business in Mexico.
"Openness brings progress, while self-seclusion leaves one behind," Xi said in Wednesday's report, calling for efforts to make economic globalization "more open, inclusive and balanced so that its benefits are shared by all."
Hailing China as a major propeller of the global economy, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he believes the ongoing structural reform in China will lead to sustainable growth.
Yet around the globe, isolationist tendencies and nationalist policies have brought about rising trade protectionism and fanned up headwinds against globalization.
Against this backdrop, China remains committed to promoting global sustainable development, coming up with benefit-sharing initiatives like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the Belt and Road Initiative to offer more public goods to the world.
The Belt and Road Initiative, put forward by Xi in 2013, is "one of the most important initiatives that we have today in the contemporary world," said Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
Comprising the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, it aims to promote trade, financial integration, infrastructure connectivity and people-to-people exchanges along and beyond the ancient Silk Road trade routes.
The initiative is not only good for China and its people, but also good for many countries, added Vucic. "People and the world will be much richer with such good initiatives than without them."
In their congratulatory messages to the CPC on its 19th national congress, many foreign leaders spoke highly of Beijing's commitment to sustainable development and pointed out what that means to the world.
"In these turbulent times, the 19th National Congress of the CPC gives a strong message of unity, cohesion and determination to fight for peace, sustainable development and the creation of harmonious world societies," said former Greek Prime Minister George A. Papandreou.
Panos Rigas and Yiannis Bournous, two senior members of Greece's ruling SYRIZA party, believe that if a world of shared and sustainable prosperity, fair growth and balanced power is to ever exist, China will have a leading and indispensable role in it.

The Toms did the dang thing.
Color us impressed! Lala Kent gave fans a little sneak peak a the finished Tom Tom night club last night on her Instagram Stories and we have to say, the Toms really pulled out all of the stops!
The nightclub decor is a beautiful rustic/modern mix that just screams Lisa Vanderpump. According to The Daily Mail, interior designer Nick Alain came up with the signature look, while Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz have been busy toiling away with new cocktail recipes.
But honestly, look at this decor!
Not to mention this mantelpiece. I die!
But the one piece of artwork that is sure to have everyone talking is this black and white photo of Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz kissing. Hubba hubba!
The Daily Mail reported that Tom and Tom have been offered a 5% stake in the brand new business. And both had to put up at $50,000 of their own money to get the idea off the ground.
We guess it looks like those Vanderpump Rules checks have been coming in handy! So while we can't say for sure that Tom Tom will be a hit, it sure darn is pretty.

The last entity in a tri-party agreement has signed off on an arrangement that aims to enhance firefighter safety and increase collaboration between Wood River and Ketchum.
The Ketchum City Council on Monday approved a cooperative agreement with Wood River Fire & Rescue, Ketchum Rural Fire Department and the city fire department.
"It's an addition to the existing automatic aid agreement we have with Wood River Fire and an enhancement to the countywide mutual aid agreement," Ketchum Fire Chief Mike Elle said Tuesday. "It's the first step in further collaboration [moving] toward consolidation."
Ketchum, Ketchum Rural and Wood River share a border at the Greenhorn Bridge, with Ketchum having jurisdiction to the north, and Wood River, to the south.
Ketchum Rural and Wood River already have an automatic-aid agreement for the mid-valley area, from Timber Way to Ohio Gulch Road, including the Greenhorn area and part of East Fork. Under that agreement, both agencies respond to medical, fire and motor vehicle calls.
The revised agreement means that, rather than calling for assistance, there will be automatic response by Ketchum and Ketchum Rural for structure fires within Wood River's jurisdiction and Wood River would provide automatic response for structure fires within those agencies' jurisdictions.
Ketchum and Ketchum Rural personnel are city employees, but Ketchum Rural is governed by a board of commissioners.
"The expected outcomes of the agreement are higher quality and safer emergency services for each of the respective jurisdictions," according to a staff report.
Elle said the Ketchum and Wood River agencies have similar training and standards, so, with the agreement, each department can have greater certainty with incident response.
"What we're finding is we need more experienced help earlier on," he said. "We're trying to provide the safest environment we can."
The agreement will be enacted in about 30 days.

The Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel Pen is quite lovely and super smooth to draw with! The colours appear differently depending on background. On white paper the blue pen is blue with a tint of green, and the purple pen is purple with a tint of blue. On dark paper, the blue pen is green and the purple pen is blue. Basically, on a darker background the "base color" of the pens disappears and leaves only the tint.
The Kuretake Wink of Luna Brush, Metallic Green does not have that metallic look you might expect. It looks rather flat in my opinion. However, in combination with the blue Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Gel PEN it will get that green, metallic look.
The Pilot V5 Hi-Tecpoint is super nice (I really like pens like this). It's good for thin lines and details. For larger areas you might want a broader pen since this is only 0.5mm.
