28th July 2016, Greensboro, NC
Unifi, a leading synthetic recycled yarn producer, has released operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year that ended on 26 June 2016. Net income declined by US$ 5.4 million, compared to the prior year's fourth quarter, primarily due to lower earnings from Parkdale America, LLC.
Meanwhile, operating income increased by US$ 2.0 million compared to the prior year fourth quarter and gross margin climbed to 16.8%, compared to 14.5% for the prior year fourth quarter, the company reports.
Operating income increased by US$ 3.7 million compared to fiscal 2015. Net income declined by US$ 7.7 million. Gross margin climbed to 14.5%, compared to 13.2% for fiscal 2015. Premium value-added (PVA) products surpassed 35% of net sales.
"I am pleased to report strong fourth quarter and fiscal 2016 results. Our international operations, coupled with strong sales of PVA products, helped drive solid results," said Tom Caudle, President of Unifi. "We've spent the last several years transforming our business and shifting our sales mix to higher-margin PVA products."
"We remain committed to producing the highest quality, innovative and sustainable products for our customers around the world. This has been the foundation of our success over the past several years, and we believe it will continue to be as we grow. We're excited about the course of our business and our global opportunities."
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 was US$ 10.2 million, compared to US$ 15.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Net income for fiscal 2016 was US$ 34.4 million, compared to US$ 42.2 million for fiscal 2015.
Net sales were US$ 163.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to net sales of US$ 175.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Net sales were US$ 643.6 million for fiscal 2016, compared to US$ 687.1 million for fiscal 2015 primarily due to the same factors noted in the quarterly comparison.
Market share gains for the International Segment and a disciplined focus on the company's PVA portfolio returned strong operating results. Operating income grew in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 by US$ 2.0 million, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Operating income for fiscal 2016 grew by US$ 3.7 million, compared to fiscal 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA was US$ 21.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to US$ 19.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Adjusted EBITDA was US$ 68.6 million for fiscal 2016 compared to US$ 64.3 million for fiscal 2015.
For fiscal 2017, the company anticipates revenue growth in the low single digit percentage range, assuming raw material prices are unchanged. The company also forecasts operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth in the low single digit percentage range. The company is also planning to continue with the current capital investment strategy, with estimated capital expenditures of approximately US$ 40 million.
"We expect growth in our top line in fiscal 2017, based on increased contributions from our international operations, PVA portfolio, and our new bottle processing facility, all of which should help offset a soft domestic environment," said Sean Goodman, CFO of Unifi.
"We expect some gross margin pressure in fiscal 2017 associated with initial start-up costs for our bottle processing operation and Recycling Center expansion. We anticipate that the financial benefits of these investments will be realized in fiscal 2018 and beyond. We will continue to invest diligently in our business to position our assets for enhanced returns, to expand internationally, and to continue on a path for long-term growth."

Defensively, the Nuggets were anchored by the Captain, Marcus Camby. The Camby-man grabbed a game-high 21 rebounds, swatted six shots and altered countless others, scored 14 points, and found a way to dish three assists. He did an amazing job of locking down the boards and the rim in the fourth quarter with nine rebounds and two blocked shots and was the fuel for the Nuggets, 25-14, domination in the money period. Furthermore, this may be the best basketball I have ever seen the decorated veteran play.
Another Nugget who very well may be playing his best basketball as of yet is Carmelo Anthony. 'Melo continues to give opposing defenses fits by abusing slower defenders off the dribble, posting up smaller foes in the blocks, and down right giving everyone who wants to try and stop him a ride on the ole "'Melo Jab-Step Express." He even hit a spinning - turn-around - fade-away that had the Altitude announcers using terms like, "Jordan-esque" and "Wow". And once again Anthony finishes as the game's high-scorer with 33 points, six assists, five rebounds, a steal, and a block.
His All-Star counterpart wasn't too shabby either.
Up next for the Nuggets is a meeting with the New Orleans Hornets at home on Sunday night. Just like in tonight's game, if the Nuggets are truly a contender they will find a way to beat the Hornets convincingly.
Now, if you don't mind… Allow me to analyze the first 96 minutes of Nuggets basketball. I have so many things to examine and so little time!
Go Nuggets!

Game Says Eminem Is The One Emcee He Would Never Diss
August 5, 2011
Eminem is not to be fucked with," says Game in a recent interview. Eminem is renowned for various facets of his emceeing ability, but none perhaps more than his scathing disses. Whether it be "Nail in the Coffin," "The Sauce," "Girls," or a slew of other tracks, Slim Shady has proven himself to be no slouch when it comes to penning insults. One emcee who has taken notice is Game, who in a recent interview with MTV News explained that Eminem is essentially untouchable. "One thing that stuck with me is that Eminem is not to be fucked with ever in Hip Hop, ever," he explained to Sway Calloway. "If you notice out of everybody I take a shot at, that's the only person that's untouched. He's in a bubble and you don't even say nothing to Eminem. To anybody that ever does, God bless you," said Game of Em, with whom he collaborated on the song "We Ain't." "He'll end your career." Watch the interview below:

A sophisticated, layered, and heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make—and the ultimate choice Mia commands.
Creativity: 5/5
Characters: 5/5
Writing: 5/5
Impact: 5/5
Overall: 5/5
I honestly did not know what to expect when I decided to read If I Stay. I heard so many good things about it, the story looked interesting, and the cover was beautiful (I got the paperback copy), but I wasn't really sure what kind of book I was going to read. I knew it involved death, and I knew that there was a love story somewhere in it, but that was about it. I expected it to be good, but just how good, I did not know.
I have to say, this book rendered me speechless. It was beautiful. Compelling. It's the type of read that readers cannot put down, because they're so drawn into the story. There's an ineffable, amazing quality to it- I just wanted to read, and read, and keep on reading!
Mia's not your average teenage girl. She's a gifted cellist, and she's dating one of the coolest boys in school, but she isn't popular. She's quiet and studious, but she's not a nerd, either. She's the type of character that readers can't really pigeon-hole. She's just who she is, with a couple of defining characteristics. One of those things is her eccentric family. Unlike a lot of teenagers with strict, by-the-book parents, she has unconventional punk-rocker ones. On the outside, she's an unlikely offspring for her radical parents, but she loves them deeply, and she enjoys being with them. So when they decide to go on a family drive, she couldn't be happier. Little did she know their lives would change.
They get into an accident, and Mia discovers she's somewhere in between the planes of life and death. She's unconcious and in a critical condition, but she isn't dead. Not yet. Unlike her parents, who died immediately after the crash.
Forced to wander the hospital as the doctors try to bring her back to life, Mia contemplates the pros and cons of letting go, or holding on. Without her family by her side, she feels like there won't be a point in living. But if she lets go, she'll have to leave everybody else behind- Adam, her boyfriend; Kim, her best friend; her Gran and Gramps; everyone else. For a day, Mia is faced with the most difficult choice she has to make. As Mia ponders her decision, she weighs her options by observing the events in the hospital as her friends and other relatives wait for her recovery, and recalling memories of her lifetime. The readers get to glimpse into the events that shaped Mia, that made her who she is, and they get to experience her feelings as she comes closer to making her choice. The pain, the sorrow, the happiness, the love Mia felt coursing through her are all so vivid. I could practically taste the emotions. The prose took my breath away, and it really transported me to Mia's world. I wasn't just reading about her; I became her.
If I Stay is a riveting, poignant story about holding on and letting go. It's beautifully written, and though a lot of the time there's an undertone of sadness, there's an ever-present sense of love and hope. Beautiful in every way, it's a story readers will themselves thinking about long after they finish the book.

For 8x10's do I need more than 3.2 megapixals?
If the maximum I want to print is 8x10 and have them very clear, clean and perfect, do I need more than 3.2 megapixals.

If you are able to compose [nearly] what you want your final image to look like when you take the shot, you will not need more resolution from your sensor than 3.2 Mpxl. With this resolution however, you won't have too much leeway for cropping your shots afterwards and still yield good 8x10 prints, so a good optical zoom range on the camera will be a big help.

No, you won't need more than 3.2 and depending on the camera's optics, you might get away with less than 3.2. I have a Panasonic FZ1, 2 MP that does AWESOME 8x10's, but it also has a Leica lens!
I haven't tried cropping and I haven't tried going above 8x10, so I don't know how it will handle things beyond that.

I don't want to go against the popular word, but it depends how technical you want to get, If you assume that 300 is the optimal resolution for printing, then you need the pixel dimesnions of yuor file to be 2400 by 3000 which is actually 7 megapixels, but if you print at 200 dpi, then the file needs to be 1600 by 2000 which is about 3.2 megapixels. So your result is very good. I am only saying very good because if you hold the exact 2 pictures side by side, and you are very very close, you be able to tell the difference, but let's think of how often we look at an 8 by 10 from 6 inches away, never... So in conclusion, everyone here is right, I just thought if you knew a little bit more about the "why" you'd be more informed... and now you are. A wedding photographer for example would not use a camera of this resolution for an 8x10.

You nailed it right. We don't look at 8x10 at 6 inches. Not even 4x6 pictures. That's why 3.2 MP is more than enough for practical purposes at that size unless you are a pro photographer. Heck, my 3.1 MP camera is probably good enough to make a 40 ft billboard that will be seen from 500 feet away.

if you go over to http://www.megapixel.net they have an article that tackles this very question-
clikck on "Articles" on the left navbar, and choose 'Understanding resolution and prints' from the Camera Basics dropdown.

What printer company recommends 403 PPI for their inkjet? And what competent person when dealing with inkjet prints refers to PPI as DPI? Sometimes PPI and DPI can be used interchangeably, but since printer DPI differs significantly from pixels Ive never seen anyone competent allow confusion between DPI and PPI when discussing inkjets.
The input for the 3Mp image was over 190 PPI. Even under magnification it is hard to see any difference from my 4 picolitre photo printer over about 180 PPI. And those results are sufficiently absurd that there is obvious alteration somewhere in the process. You would have to blow the images up to the point of at least seeing aliasing to even start seeing resolution differences above 190 PPI input.

300ppi Die Sub printer resolution about the best a normal photographer can expect. 6MP=8x10
240ppi Inkjet printer best a normal consumer can expect. 4.6 MP = 8x10. Paper/ink variations can make this up to 260ppi.
180ppi About the bottom before when you look at the picture and go "I need more resolution". 8x10= 2.5 MP
Pictures vary so if you are trying to read a street sign at a distance or show a field of grass you will notice resolution drop outs a lot more than the pictures where you are looking at a street or sidewalk. A low MP camera may even give you a better picture by getting rid of some facial blemishes on a person. I have gotten acceptable 8x10s (at an average viewing distance) with a 1.2MP camera in the past. I get a lot more acceptable 8x10s with my 4 and 5 MP cameras.
Back to the original question can you get a good picture with 3MP? IMHO yes not really a problem the issues will come in (as others have stated) when you want to crop or because the focal planes are usually not quite the 2/3 ratio.
So a 3MP camera (IMHO) would be classified as a sometimes 8x10 worthy but mostly 5x7 or less camera.
4MP is probably equally a 8x10 worthy and 5x7 camera.
A 5/6 MP camera would be classified as a sometimes 12x14 but mostly 8x10 camera.

In preparation for Eli's birthday I really thought about what kinds of birthday traditions we would like to incorporate for our children. Growing up we had a special birthday tablecloth that adorned our table for each and every birthday. I wanted birthdays to be fun and special yet simplistic. Hence the birthday banner was born. I think it is pretty fun and I am sure it will be a part of each and every birthday celebration for years to come.
To Sew Your Own Birthday Banner:
I also made a triangle pattern out of a piece of cardstock. I liked the look of uniform size pieces. One of the fabrics was also part of a sheet that I had used on 2 other projects so this made it a lot easier to cut out. 🙂 Note: I doubled my triangles (sewed 2 together) so that I could also hang the triangles across a room and not just along a wall. I think I ended up cutting out 52 triangles in all. (I cut them out 4 at a time so it didn't take very long.)

Want a faster internet speed?
Getting a faster internet speed is always a dream for hardcore types- gamers and HD movie watchers. Having a 256kps or even 512kps broadband plan seems slow compared to size of today's games. Downloading 15GB of a game will take more than a week, which is, frustrating.
You might have two fast internet connections, one, a broadband and another 3G USB dongle for connecting to the internet on the move. Though you can connect all your fast internet connections at the same time, the computer will use only the last connected network, leaving others unused.
For example you have two internet connections; A and B. You started connecting to the net using A. The moment you started connection B; the PC will terminate connection A, leaving it unused. The OS is not that intelligent to know that there are multiple internet connection.
The problem is solved with a software known as connectify dispatch. Using this software, you can combine all your available internet connections- DSL modem, wired cable connection, a wireless router, a tethered mobile phone or a USB internet dongle- into a single monstrous broadband connection for getting the fastest internet speed.
Here is the step to do it:-
Download connectify dispatch and install it. Bad news; the software is not free and there are no demo's available. It costs Rs 5114 in India for a lifetime license, which includes Hotspot Pro utility as a bundle. You can also opt for a one year license for Rs 4023, but buying a lifetime license makes more sense.
Connect all your fast internet connections and ensure they are working. Open connectify; the UI has a graph that shows you the bandwidth of all your available connections and overall speed. You will also see the no. of active adapters (internet connections) in the lower half of the screen.
Connect all you fast internet connections and start them. Once all are active, hit the 'Start Dispatch' button on the dispatch window. Okay! Now you are ready to surf the net on the fastest internet connection by combining all the speeds of available fast internet connections. The dispatch utility will automatically combine all the fast internet connections together, analyze each of them and route the internet traffic accordingly. You can check the download speed by downloading a large file, video or torrent (: You will definitely find a difference.
You can now download Connectify Dispatch Lite for free. It does come with certain limitations.

The archaeological site of Acropolis, Greece's most attractive tourist site, was closed on Thursday due to a strike by Culture Ministry employees.
The employees have been on strike since Feb. 26, demanding the payment of four months' outstanding salaries.
The full affect of the strike had not been felt until Tuesday, as Greece has been on a three-day public holiday. The employees have threatened to force closure of the site again next Wednesday.
The Parthenon and other temples atop the Acropolis normally attract more than 100,000 visitors each month.

Helena Bourdillon Survival and triumph over mental illness
Helena's story is extraordinary. So much so that our founder, Simeon Quarrie, may consider it to be the most important project he has ever undertaken.
For years, Helena sensed that things weren't quite right but it wasn't until her mid-twenties that she realised she was living with depression. In this video, Helena shares her own experience with mental illness whilst vividly recounting her first freedive. An experience that set her on a different trajectory and reignited her childhood dream of representing Great Britain.
For Helena, that first freedive silenced the negative voice of depression. As she lays her story bare in front of the camera, we see how mental illness can not just overcome but act as a catalyst to move forward and achieve great things. Helena's achievements are a testament to her message that anyone can succeed. It is this message that we want everyone to hear, and through the use of videos like Helena's, we can convey it to limitless individuals around the world. The video was also played on Cable TV across Europe via RTL. Thus, creating a culture of understanding and changing attitudes towards mental health, an issue still marred by misunderstanding and misinformation.
It took Helena considerable strength to share her story with Simeon, and through this video she is now able to share it with you.

Gene Stecher
In the Kingdom of Commandments
Creditor and debtor are equalized by the
divine scorched earth policy,
as they face down God's forgiving readiness,
mired together in law breaking
along with the people/priest,
[Isa 24:2-3, Neh 9:17: NRSV]
In the Kingdom where God's finger rules,
look for grazing the edge of law breaking
to be admired for forgiving debt.
The disease that condemns to the jail pit
is not passing along the torch.
[Lk 11:20, 16:8a; Mt 18:33]
Tax Collectors, "Charge official rates,"
but seeking Jesus' favor,
old Zach blurted out that
the poor could have half of his profits
and extortion returns
would be quadrupled.
[Lk 3:13, 19:8]
Debt forgiveness requires community trust,
"Whomever you forgive,
I forgive."
Try your patience with up to seventy-seven
bestowals of freedom
to sin no more.
[2 Cor 2:10, Mt 18:22, Jn 8:11]
Sin? I thought that we were talking about debt.
Now how is it that we've gone from debt to sin?
What's the easier thing to say to this paralytic,
"Your sins are forgiven," or,
"Here's the deed. I've just redeemed your land." **
And Zach spit through the needle's eye.
[Mk 2:1-12, 10:25]
- Many thanks to Keith for sharing this definition of redemption with the HODOS group.
Forgiveness for Forgiveness:
Forgive the neighbor the wrong he has done, and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray (Sirach 28:2).
Forgive our debts to the extent that we have forgiven those in debt to us (Mt 6:12).
And cancel for us our debts, as we cancel (debts) for those who are indebted to us (Lk 6:37c).
Forgive our sins, since we too forgive everyone in debt to us (Lk 11:4a)
What was that again?
Forgive and you'll be forgiven (Did 8:2).
Come again?
If you are holding anything against anyone, forgive them, so your father in heaven may forgive your misdeeds (Mk 11:25-26).
Sorry, can't quite hear you!
If you forgive others their failures and offenses, your heavenly father will also forgive yours (Mt 6:14-15).
I can only hear out of one ear.
Forgive that it may be forgiven to you (1 Clem 13:2b).
Still can't hear you.
Forgive and it shall be forgiven unto you (PolPhil 2:3b). If then we entreat the Lord to forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive (PolPhil 6:2a).
What'd you say?
He who has two ears had better use one for sin and the other for debt.

5 of the Best Places at UIUC To Stuff Your Face at for $3
You're stumbling out of Cly's at 2a.m. after yet another disastrous wine night. You reek of vomit mixed with $5 wine and are still reeling from being rejected by your hot TA, so you decide the only thing that will soothe your drunken soul is greasy food. You reach into your wallet to find three measly singles after spending your dough on drinks all night, but never fear! The Black Sheep is here to lead you to the cheapest, most orgasmic drunk food on campus.
5.) Any Of The Three Jimmy John's (on Green and Lincoln):
Are you the mood for day-old bread? Wow this was a weak opener. Although it's not available on the menu, you can ask Jimmy John's employees for "99-cent, day-old bread" and you'll be handed an entire loaf of JJ bread as a chorus of angels sing in the heavens. "It doesn't taste like it's a day old!" should be the tagline of this poor college student's version of a French baguette.
4.) The 24-Hour Subway On Green:
It was between this and Papa D's, but not being able to afford those mouth-watering chicken strips would just be torture. Trick yourself into thinking you're eating fresh by going to Subway and pigging out on chips for $1.10, three cookies for $1.70, or a LOADED POTATO WITH BACON for a mere $2.50. Do yourself a favor and forget that Jared did unspeakable things for one drunken night so you can enjoy a delicious meal guilt-free.
3.) The Second Story On Fourth:
A hot pile of garbage when you're sober and a multiple, intense orgasms when you're not, Second Story pizza has made the greatest comeback since the Cubs won the World Series. The price of a slice is $2.50, which leaves you with just enough change to snag that side of ranch you didn't know you needed in your life.
2.) The 24-Hour Merry Ann's Diner On Gregory In Urbana:
Although you're strapped for cash, the chain-smoking waitresses at Merry Ann's can begrudgingly bring you a half-order of biscuits and gravy or a side of bacon, sausage links, or hash browns for $2.50, cheese fries for $3, chili for $2.75, fresh-baked pies for $2.25, or a root beer float for $2.50. Merry Ann's is leagues better than the sad OTPHJ you could've given or received at the bars.
1.) The 24-Hour McDonald's on Green:
The following statement alone is why McDonald's destroys the competition: You can get two cheeseburgers for $2. You have the entire Dollar Menu and more at your fingertips, and you're about to get your money's worth of clogged arteries. Treat yo-self to a cholesterol-heavy large fry for $1.89, a McFlurry for $2.39, 3 chocolate chip cookies for 39 cents each, or anything on the Breakfast Dollar Menu, Dollar Menu, or Extra Value Menu. Have you ever seen Super Size Me? Neither have we, but we're pretty sure that the message of the movie was to encourage viewers to eat McDonald's every day for every meal and we are inspired to do the same. Go to McDonald's absolutely shmacked and stare death in the face. We promise you, it's exhilarating.

Back on March 22nd, Instagram announced that they are making major changes to the Instagram algorithm. This change is made to accommodate the requests of the users.
A few months ago, Instagram was testing the New Posts button to let users have an option for sorting their feed in chronological order. But then, according to TechCrunch; Instagram does not want to add more complexity to the app because users can forget which sorting option they've set.
Until now, Instagram algorithm was a myth and everyone has opinions on that. Surely, this lets all users having a confusion.
Eventually, Instagram Product Lead – Julian Gutman decided to tell everyone how does the Instagram algorithm work.
How Does the Instagram Algorithm Work?
Instagram relies on machine learning based on your interests and your behaviour. So they creates a unique feed for everyone – even if you follow exactly the same people with your friend you can display different feeds. This is all about how you interact with those accounts. Instagram's main purpose is displaying the most important posts on the top for everyone.
Instagram algorithm is using 3 main factors of determine which accounts or posts are more important for you;
1. Interest
A prediction of how much you'll care about a post. This determined by past behavior on similar content and potentially machine vision analyzing the actual content of the post. This is the first reason to you don't see the most recent post on the top of your feed. Instagram shows the post that you most probably interact with.
2. Recency
An answer to how long ago this photo/video was shared? The new algorithm lets you see more recent photos on your feed. I hope you see less posts from over a week ago.
3. Relationship
How close are you with the account who shared the post? How do you know this person?
Relationship factor will have a higher ranking for people if you've interact a lot in the past such as by commenting on their photos or being tagged in their posts. If this factor is high, Instagram will probably sets you into family and friends category.
So, commenting on their posts and being tagged together will provide a higher priority.
Beyond these 3 main factors, the new algorithm have other factors that affect the priority;
How often do you open Instagram app? This is also an important factor to sorting algorithm because Instagram are trying to show you the best posts since your last visit.
So, if you're a frequent Instagram user your feed can be more like in a chronological order.
How many accounts do you follow on Instagram? If you follow a lot account, Instagram has wide options to choose from, so that you can't see all of the posts from everyone.
If you don't think your feed shows the persons you want to see, you can decrease your following count or mute some of the accounts you don't want to see everyday.
How long do you spend on Instagram? It determines that; if you're just seeing the "best posts" according to the algorithm in your short sessions or "digging deeper into its catalog"
Instagram's teams have also responded to most common questions and theories about their algorithm;
- They're not considering to have an option to display feed in a chronological order. They just don't want to add more complexity to the app.
- They're not hiding any post in the feed. If you keep scrolling, you can see all recent posts from your following list.
- Feed ranking and sorting priorities do not change among the post types (photo, video, carousel post). Likewise, they do not favor users who use Stories, Live or othe special features of Instagram.
- Switching your personal account to business account can not help on increasing your reach.

In our work together, I use approaches to therapy that research has established to be helpful in treatment. Therapy is not one size fits all, so please keep in mind that although these are general approaches I use in providing therapy, my approach to your treatment is based on your individual needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I utilize (CBT) to educate and increase your awareness of the automatic thought patterns, behavior patterns and emotional responses that obstruct your ability to positively address your circumstances. Together we seek to identify and explore negative patterns and then figure out practical skills to stop these self-defeating thoughts and establish new, constructive thought and behavior patterns to support healthy changes.
CBT stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of problems and disorders. CBT techniques differ for children and adults.
Solution Focused Therapy
I utilize solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) to focus on what clients would like to achieve through therapy rather than on their troubles or mental health issues. Together, I will help you envision a desirable future, and then help you map out the small and large changes necessary for you to undergo to realize your vision. My role as the therapist is to use any success the client experiences to help encourage the client to build on their strengths rather than dwell on their problems and limitations. This technique differs for children and adults.
Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy/modification encourages good behavior and discourages unwanted behavior by setting specific doable goals, providing rewards and consequences, and keeping the use of reward and consequences consistent. Overtime, these strategies will shape your child's behavior in a positive way. I utilize behavioral therapy to encourage children and adolescents to try new behaviors and not to allow negative reinforcements to dictate the ways in which they act. Strategies vary widely based on the child and adolescent. This type of therapy also involves parents getting involved in learning techniques and then implementing them at home. This approach includes stress management strategies, relaxation training, and teaching coping skills. The child should show some progress overtime and be able to learn to deal with things by situation, and learn to cope with difficult situations at home and school.
Play Therapy
Generally, play therapy is used for children ages 3-11. I utilize play therapy to help communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child and identify issues. Play therapy also helps give children a voice to their thoughts and feelings. I also use games that are therapeutically designed to help children practice new skills and identify new ways to cope with problems.
Self-care encourages you to view the larger picture of your life and make adjustments to incorporate healthful practices. A commitment to self-care can prevent burnout and helps you to physically, emotionally, and spiritually thrive, not just survive.
Psychoeducation informs you about your condition, diagnosis, and the approaches to treatment in a manner that you understand. Simply put, psychoeducation provides knowledge and knowledge empowers you. Psychoeducation pertaining to children is usually discussed with the parent, either alone or with the child, based on what the needs are.

How is it that refill canisters for air horns costs four times as much as butane canisters? Ariel was not happy with the added expense and took matters into his own hands creating a butane horn with flames. While this is not his first butane hack, he has stepped into a larger world of noisy flame throwers. And if you think this duct-taped flaming air horn is a little shady, check out some of my other favorite flaming noise projects.
Check out Lucy Hosking's pulse jet organ, "Satan's Calliope." A wireless, midi-controlled organ mounted onto a Harley Davidson golf cart. I've had the (dis)pleasure of hearing it several times at Burningman and Makerfaire '06. A lovely ensemble consisting of:
- 17 pulse jets
- 14 truck horns
- 14 organ pipes
And then there's David Silverman's "Flaming Tuba." David is best known as an animator for The Simpsons. The video is a entertaining cover of Britney Spears' "Oops! ... I Did It Again."

Alphaform MF has similar magnetic properties to such materials like Fluxtrol, but it is delivered in a formable state so that it can be modelled into a desired shape. A flux concentrator made from Alphaform LF can be easily retrofitted to an existing induction coils. Manual shaping of such flux concentrator might result with wider mechanical tolerances than it is the case for machined parts.1)
The product is a soft magnetic composite based on thermal-curing epoxy binder. The resin cures by exposing to temperature up to 190°. After curing and during normal operation the part can be exposed to 225° for prolonged periods, and up to 300° for short intervals.
The "MF" stands for "medium frequency" as compared to frequency ranges of other Fluxtrol materials.

I now live in Japan, and am thinking about what to do after finishing here (I'm a 2nd year JET programme participant and have signed up for my third year- so this is about what I will do after July 2006). I have a -> 4-year degree (English Literature/ Music History) from a Canadian university (plus a few extra courses in History for a second teachable) -> 1-Year TESL Certificate from a university in Ontario, Canada (I read somewhere that it could be roughly equivalent to a DELTA, but I'm really not sure- the courses were all in the Linguistics department and it included a practicum for about three hours a week that lasts pretty much the entire year). My question is: Do I need some sort of time logged in the UK in order to get some sort of residence status (I mean on top of the citizenship) soas to not be considered "international" for universities offering teacher training programmes there (if I remember correctly when I when to an information seminar about doing it before I came on JET they were asking something like $30,000CDN for the year)? If so, could I teach ESL in the UK and survive doing it (keeping in mind that I sound Canadian). ->(by that time) I'll have three years experience in Japan on JET, six months volunteer experience teaching ESL to adults, primarily beginning level, in Ontario and experience in a summer language camp situation (in which I designed all materials), for advanced level. or If so, would other EU countries (where the potential - I guess- for employment is probably be a bit higher with my British passport and TESL education) somehow count for EU residence and therefore qualify for the residence period in the UK? Also, I am not necessarily thinking of using the PGCE to teach in Canada (although if I can do that too, then that'd be great), I was more thinking of using it to work in international schools in Asia, or schools in Europe or even in the UK. Back to top Phil_bJoined: 14 Oct 2003Posts: 239Location: Back in London Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2005 11:13 pm Post subject: There was another thread talking about something similar..... It was for Master's courses... but It might well be the same... The rule appears to be that you need to be resident in the EU for the three years before taking up the course. I don't think there was a definitive answer though Back to top GambateBingBangBOOMJoined: 04 Nov 2003Posts: 2021Location: Japan Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2005 11:32 pm Post subject: Thanks, I found this in another thread: Quote: Who qualifies for home student status? You may qualify for home fee status based on the following: A. that you were settled in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Immigration Act 1971 on the relevant date (refer to UKCOSA manual/website); and B. you have been ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom and Islands for a specified three year period preceding your course; and C. that no part of the period of residence in (B) above was wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education. For further information, details and exceptions visit UKCOSA or DfES: www.ukcosa.org.uk www.dfes.gov.uk If you do not meet the criteria for classification as a home student you will be classed as an international student and charged the appropriate fee. That means if I had left Canada while I was still a Landed Immigrant/Permanent Resident for over six months (and therefore not allowed to come back) I would still be considered "International" for universities in the only country in which I had any offical standing at all, and yet I could work legally throughout the EU because of that official standing (EU passport).

Sharp Left: When 'Dissent' Is Distracting Hypocrisy
November 1, 2017
A sad day it is indeed when supposedly "liberal" publications like The New York Times and The Guardian are seen practically falling over each other singing praises of those bold Defenders of Democracy, the Senate's newest Knights of Truth, Bob Corker and Jeff Flake. Seriously, if I sound mockingly hyperbolic (which, to be fair, I am), just read how the Guardian's Sabrina Siddiqui described Flake's recent Senate speech in her less-than-subtle front page piece entitled "Battle hymns of the Republicans: Trump civil war is just getting started:"
"It is time for our complicity and our accommodation for the unacceptable to end," Flake said, in explosive remarks that were instantly labeled as a historic act of defiance. "There are times when we must risk our careers in favor of our principles. Now is such a time."
Similarly breathless praise was shown forth upon Flake's fellow Republican ideologue, multimillionaire Tennessean Bob Corker, whose recent criticism of Supreme Idiot Donald Trump was described by The New York Times as "an extraordinary rebuke of a president of his own party."
Historic act of defiance! Extraordinary rebuke! What a low bar we've set for such things. Yet in all fairness, one could be forgiven for agreeing with these laudatory words upon first glance; after all, the sight of a senator referring to the White House of a sitting president as an "adult day care" would have once been quite the spectacle, and admittedly felt pretty satisfying to read. But this blanketing coverage is hardly more than a vapid, TMZ-style play-by-play of a Twitter feud between two celebrities. What Flake and Corker are actually frustrated about is The Donald's near-comical unwillingness and inability to play the Reaganesque role of President, something which even previous all-time foot-in-mouth champion and expert shoe-dodger George W. Bush managed to occasionally pass for ('Mission Accomplished' Top-Gunnery notwithstanding).
The reason that all these establishment Republicans like Flake and Corker ever went along with Trump's stunning idiocy at all is because his attention-consuming theatrics take all the focus off of their party's quieter dismantling of environmental and financial regulations, industry capture of agencies and other blatant giveaways to their corporate masters. Trump's lack of any substantive policy knowledge or interest, however distasteful to Washington intelligentsia, is fairly inconsequential for the bureaucracy assembled by his party to finish the task of converting our state to little more than an enabler and enforcer of corporate greed. If Jeff Flake were somehow President instead, I have little doubt that he would have nominated oil industry mouthpiece Scott Pruitt for EPA chief just as readily.
Obviously Trump is eroding the office of President, and our culture more broadly. But these things were in decline long before that bloated orange embodiment of toxic masculinity decided, likely out of boredom, to chain the nation to his cart on the express lane of societal malaise. Yes, Trump has brought the aesthetics of the presidency to a Kid Rock shade of terrible, but sadly this unflattering representation of American politics more accurately reflects its internal moral rot than the poised, intellectual Obama. Why didn't Republicans like Flake decry "the constant non-truth-telling…the debasement of our nation" (his words on Trump) when Bush's cabal blatantly lied about WMDs in Iraq? Is this Republican tendency towards honesty also annulled every time a fossil-fueled lawmaker denies climate change? Was the office of President not eroded when it started to approve summary executions via drone strikes on American citizens without due process? The hypocrisy here is so outstanding that I'm struck with the horrifying possibility that they've begun to believe their own nonsense.
Thus the real root of Flake and Corker's insubordination, and their subsequent positive press, comes not from any place of real dissent, but because the carefully cultivated veneer of stately legitimacy has been crudely ripped off by a man with the tact and taste of an 11-year-old. It's almost grotesquely beautiful, if it weren't so painful to watch. Now the capriciousness, the astounding corruption, warmongering, jingoism and plain old irresponsibility that has unfortunately characterized the last few decades of the declining American Empire is no longer festering, disguised, in the background. Instead, it's exuberantly celebrated in every asinine tweet, unconsidered nuclear provocation, and embarrassingly public tit-for-tat that we see faithfully reproduced on screen and page, ad nauseum.
This is too much for most of us to handle, let alone pillars of the old order like The Times or Bob Corker. So instead we pretend that it's just this one buffoon's crusade on decency, rather than a reflection of the society that placed him on its own throne. Even so, it's frankly pathetic to see publications that brand themselves as principled liberal opposition siding so readily with politicians as despicable in substance as Trump is in image. Perhaps once we rid ourselves of a perverse longing for the illusion of righteous governance to return, we can actually get to the work of achieving it.

You would think this would be an obvious safety concern to those involved, but lately it has been quite surprising and dismaying to see so many pedestrians and cyclists walking/pedaling at night in dark/non-reflective clothing. Not only is it harder to see them in dressed in this manner, but add in the dulling of motor vehicle headlights by road salt, less hours of daylight, unlit streets and roadways, and the narrowing of road shoulders due plowed snow and you have a dangerous combination of factors that must be addressed before a tragedy occurs.
The number of people walking/pedaling the roadways here in the Traverse City area in dark gear has been significant enough for both my wife and I to wonder if local communities should consider adopting laws which require the wearing of bright clothing or reflective gear. Public safety officers would be able to ticket those who don't oblige without good reason. Granted, you can't fix stupid, but for the sake of the rest of us, perhaps such laws would at least be a step in the right direction and may wake those up who are not thinking through the potential dangers of their choices.
Public safety campaigns via the media, hospitals, law enforcement, schools, community groups, and walking/biking advocacy groups would be another way of spreading the word – one which should be painfully obvious already.
Lastly, for those among us who unfortunately cannot afford to buy bright outerwear or reflective gear, donations of money or clothing to homeless shelters, school,s and community groups would be a great way to reach those most in need of assistance. A little bit can go a long way when parlayed with the gifts from others in the community.
Any other ideas beyond those listed above would be most welcome. Please pass them along.

One of our favourite acts of self care is treating ourselves to dining out every now and then. Is there anything better than a Sunday morning brunch? We believe food is a major part of our overall health and wellbeing, afterall we are what we eat, so they say!
There is a lot of speculation about following certain diets to benefit our health and our planet, and we can all afford to be a little more educated and conscious when making decisions about what we eat. Afterall the food we put into our bodies is our fuel, our energy, it can effect our mood, our skin, and our health. So we want to makesure we are filling ourselves with the best possible options to support our daily life right?

Kendrick Lamar will be the first artist to ever perform at the NCAA College Football Championship game.
ESPN announced today that the seven-time Grammy Award-winning rapper will perform live from Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, just outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium where the game will be played on Jan. 8, 2018. The concert will be a free, outdoor event for fans in Atlanta who are not inside the stadium at the game. ESPN will televise the entire performance during its broadcast.
Kendrick is stoked for this opportunity:
Having the opportunity to perform at halftime of what will surely be the best game of the year between two deserving universities is truly an honor. Thank you, ESPN, for having me be the first halftime performer ever at the College Football Playoff National Championship.
With the championship being held in Atlanta, many figured they would have went with an Atlanta Hip Hop star(s), but it's hard to fault them for snagging a superstar like Kung Fu Kenny for the performance.

Banana Peels and All!
Unfortunately, injuries occurring from slips, trips and falls is very common. What isn't usually considered though, is how a simple slip, trip or fall can cause a serious injury.
Did you know that there is a difference between a 'slip' and a 'trip'?
A slip is typically due to a liquid or spillage on the floor surface.
A trip is typically due to your foot unexpectedly coming into contact with an object or hazard.
The fall is self explanatory – and renders the slip or the trip more serious if you in fact then fall over.
Common incidents include:
- slipping and falling on liquid left on the ground;
- slipping and falling on slippery flooring of a shop;
- tripping over an object;
- tripping over uneven ground;
- tripping and falling due to poor lighting;
- tripping and falling due to broken steps; and
- tripping and falling due to a lack of handrails.
Common injuries can include:
- sprains or strains;
- broken bones;
- bruising; and
- back injury.
The individual circumstances of an incident will affect whether a damages claim can be successfully brought against a Defendant, whether it be an incident at a workplace or within the public.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office on 07 4963 2000 or via our online contact form should you have any queries.

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley recently released Alberta's budget for the next year, the first for this province since the NDP came into power. A lot of interesting things happened in this budget that are of significant interest:
No Large Scale Job Cuts
One of the key messages provincial Finance Minister Joe Ceci has been sending is that the provincial government aims to stabilize public services. Though most Albertans expect social services to be drastically cut when times get tough the NDP aims to change that. Ceci said he wants to avoid "knee jerk reactions that would result in firing nurses and teachers during these tough economic times", something that he feels would only make things worse. He is, however, less definitive on wage freezes and taking a hard line on contract negotiations, declaring that these are subjects that are still under discussion.
Taxes and Fees
The NDP has already increased the corporate tax rate by 2%, from 10% to 12% and has increased income tax rates on individuals who earn more than $125,000 per year. The government has declared they will not be introducing an provincial sales tax, and will not be increasing levies and fees for vehicle registration, mortgage registration, and marriage, death and birth certificates as was planned by the Conservative government.
Diversifying the Economy
The provincial government plans to encourage job generation by diversifying Alberta's economy. During their campaign they promised to create a tax credit for Alberta businesses that create new jobs. The government also promised to actively support alternative energy, high tech and advanced research, film and television production, small brewing, value-added agriculture and food processing.
Child Care and Tuition
Another election promise of the NDP was to freeze tuition for post secondary students and introduce $25 per day childcare and all day kindergarten as finances permit.
Making Homes Greener
The NDP has promised a retrofitting loan program which would help families, farms and small businesses to reduce their energy usage. This initiative will also create more jobs in the construction industry.
The Bottom Line
Low oil prices have reduced one of Alberta's key revenue streams by billions of dollars. Ceci has already said that the deficit could be just under $6.5 billion and that the budget likely won't be balanced until the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

Day 4
The weather was not on our side as we left the Twelve Apostles, in fact it more of less followed us all the way back to Melbourne and on to the Mornington Peninsula.
The Mornington Peninsula has long been established as Melbourne's favourite playground located about an hours drive south east of Melbourne.
If there is something familiar about the Mornington Peninsula its because it has a bit of a Mediterranean feel about it especially with the olives groves and vineyards dotted around.
Its a great location to escape from the city and head for some truly idyllic beaches with some pretty familiar names!
With historic fishing villages such as Hastings and laid back shoreline locations such as Sorrento it won't be long before you're affected by the charm of this little piece of land.
We were staying for two nights however the rain had followed us so we didn't really get to see the beauty of this place until the next morning.
Day 5
We got up bright and early and after breakfast we checked out of the hotel and headed off to explore.
The area is particularly well known for its wine so we headed off on the wine trail and stopped at the Yabee Lake Vineyard
Here we were able to sample a wonderful selection of their wines, one of our favourites was the 2018 Yabby Lake Single Vineyard Pinot Gris and the sparkling 2012 Yabby Lake Cuvee Nina. Some of these wines can be found in M&S and Waitrose.
The Yabba Lake Cellar Door is a restaurant within the Vineyard and the menu looked amazing, its obviously the perfect spot to escape the city and enjoy the region and in fact a group of 4 arrived by helicopter whilst we were there!
After the wine tasting we headed off down the coastal road, where we stopped to enjoy fish & chips on Rye Beach
Taking its cue from Mediterranean influences, Mornington Peninsula offers laid-back coastal charm in a typically Australian fashion. There are plenty of water sports to try and we saw people sailing, surfing, kayaking and even paddle boarding as the water here is perfect for that as well as being totally safe to swim. It was also the first time we got to test the water ourselves!
Continuing down the coastal road we visited some beautiful coastal resorts before heading to St Andrews, well my husband is called Andrew so we felt it was somewhere we had to go and even better we had heard there was a beach brewery there!!
The St Andrews Brewery is in a unique venue, once a horse training stables, they are certainly not your average brewery. The brewery is situated on a 92 acre estate; formerly known as 'Markdel' which was owned by the Freedman Brothers, one of Australia's most successful horse training families who produced over 100 winning horses including multiple Melbourne Cup winners.
The centre of the old training area is where the brewery and beer garden are whilst the old stables are now converted into dining areas perfect for a private party.
They produce a number of beers of which are unpasteurised and brewed on site in our state of the art brew house and they are all inspired by the unique story of the property; using the finest aroma hops and heirloom variety malt. Also packaged on site with their own kegging and bottling.
If you cant decide on which one to try – then why not try them all with their sampling boards.
We then headed to Arthurs Seat where you can take a ride on the Arthurs Seat Eagle gondola where you can really get a birds eye view of the beautiful Peninsula as you sore above the forest.
After dinner that evening we headed to the Peninsula Hot Springs which is a natural hot springs and day spa. Its natural thermal mineral waters flow into pools dotted around the gardens, some are in caves and up stone steps, the gardens are sprinkled with fairy lights which just adds to the whole atmosphere and with the sound of nature and nearby frogs you can really immense yourself in nature.
There are various packages you can buy and you can spend as long as you really want to. We got there just before the sunset.
The pools all have different temperatures. Why not cool down in the ice cave or warm up in the Sauna. You can hire towels and bathrobes if you don't want to take yours with you.
On our way home we picked up a few essentials at Woolworths and BWS (wine store)
Day 6
We had a delicious breakfast before checking out and heading off away from Melbourne ready for our next adventure which was the drive to Brisbane, but that's the next story.

It is now public knowledge that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is suing veteran Singaporean blogger, Leong Sze Hian for defamation over a Facebook share he made on his Facebook profile, on 7 Nov.
The article which Leong shared was an article by Malaysian online news media, TheCoverage.my. It claimed that editor-in-chief of investigative journalism platform Sarawak Report (SR) Ms Clare Rewcastle had mentioned Singapore as "one of the key investigation targets, alongside Switzerland and United States" in the 1MDB scandal during an interview with Malaysian media.
The article was written based on what States Times Review (STR) wrote, entitled, "Lee Hsien Loong becomes 1MDB's key investigation target", which was published on 5 Nov.
The claim by STR was rebutted by SR, calling it "misleading" and "erroneous," and made a request for STR to "correct the false claim."
TOC understands that Leong was served a letter of demand by the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) on 10 Nov, to take down the Facebook share within six hours, saying that the content is against the Internet Code of Conduct. Leong is understood to have complied with IMDA's demand, by taking the post down.
TOC had asked around and understand from other netizens that they were not served with the same letter from IMDA despite sharing the same article which Leong did.
On 12 Nov, a letter of demand was served to Leong's residence while he was not around. The letter from Drew &Napier demanded Leong to make a public apology and compensate PM Lee for damages.
The letter wrote, "Those allegations are false and baseless and constitute a very serious libel against our client, and disparage and impugn his character, credit and integrity," PM Lee's lawyers, led by Senior Counsel Davinder Singh and added that it was clear that Leong had published the post "maliciously and to damage our client".
The Straits Times reported that the court documents claimed that the offending words in the article, "meant and were understood to mean that the Plaintiff corruptly used his position as Prime Minister to help Mr Najib Razak launder 1MDB's billions".
It further states that as a separate and distinct libel, the offending words in Mr Leong's Facebook post "meant and were understood to mean that the Plaintiff was complicit in criminal activity relating to 1MDB".
Together, these words "are false and baseless and were calculated to disparage and impugn the Plaintiff in his office as the Prime Minister", PM Lee's lawyers said.
However, TOC had seen the offending Facebook post before it was removed and note that the article was shared without any captions. Meaning Leong did not include any comments of his own other than sharing the STR article.
In response to media queries, Ms Chang Li Lin, the press secretary to the Prime Minister, confirmed that PM Lee had commenced legal proceedings against Leong for defamation, and said that the matter is in the hands of PM Lee's lawyers.
"Mr Lee reserves the right to take legal action against other parties who similarly defame him," she added.
In 2014, PM Lee sued Roy Ngerng for defamation after the blogger made references to PM Lee against the accused leaders of City Harvest Church. Ngerng was subsequently ordered to pay Mr Lee $150,000 in damages after he apologised to him as according to PM Lee's demand.
Correction: The article that Leong had shared was from TheCoverage.my and not States Times Review.

Dean E. Schraufnagel, MD, Department of Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago, provides a detailed look at the composition and varieties of electronic cigarettes and what makes them so appealing to youths. He reviews the available data revealing who are the main users and why, identifying young people in the U.S. as a high-growth market, with use among children doubling in recent years. Dr. Schraufnagel describes electronic cigarettes as a potential "gateway to addiction," as they are often the first tobacco product a youngster tries, with nicotine dependence a common lead-in to abuse of other addictive substances.
"Pediatricians play a critical role in the education of children and families. They are considered an important and reliable source of healthcare information. This review provides practitioners with comprehensive information about the dangers of electronic cigarettes and highlights the vulnerability of children to both the intense marketing surrounding e-cigarettes and their pharmacologic effects," says Pediatric Allergy, Immunology, and Pulmonology Editor-in-Chief Mary Cataletto, MD, Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, State University of New York at Stony Brook (Stony Brook, NY).

America's Rape of Iraq
by Stephen Lendman
Complicit with Israel, America's plan to redraw the Middle East map bears full responsibility for raping and destroying Iraq.
From September 1980 to the present, Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama committed the highest of high crimes against peace.
Millions of Iraqis perished from war, conflict related violence, preventable diseases, starvation, overall deprivation and US-sponsored terrorism.
Millions today endure unspeakable misery – living in an endless war zone, security and stability entirely absent.
Puppet governance runs things, serving its US master, officials enriching themselves through massive corruption, ignoring humanitarian crisis conditions affecting millions of impoverished, unemployed and internally displaced Iraqis.
Protests demanding reform raged intermittently in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities since July 2015. They escalated in mid-March over parliament's failure to act, ebbed after Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi proposed new cabinet members, intensified when legislators rejected his choices.
When political insiders were then chosen, violent protests followed, voting on Abadi's ministers postponed three times.
On Saturday, things came to a head. After lawmakers again failed to vote on government reforms, thousands took to the streets of Baghdad.
Hundreds stormed the heavily fortified, four-square-mile, fortress-like Green Zone – home to Iraq's parliament and foreign embassies.
Some made it into the parliament building. MPs fled for safety. Embassy compounds were in lockdown. Reuters said hundreds of protesters "stormed into Baghdad's Green Zone and entered parliament" after legislators "fail(ed) to reform a political quota system blamed for rampant corruption."
They chanted "(t)he cowards ran away," referring to lawmakers leaving the premises. No curfew was imposed. No clashes with security forces were reported.
Heavily armed security forces were deployed around sensitive sites. Entrances to Baghdad were shut. Earlier in the day, a car bomb killed 18 and wounded dozens more in suburban Nahrawan.
Reuters called Saturday's Green Zone breach "unprecedented," a heavily protected fortress, "symbolizing the isolation of Iraq's leadership" and its US master from long-suffering people.
Thousands protested nonviolently. Shia clerical leader Moqtada al-Sadr threatened to bring down the entire government.
In a televised speech from Najaf, he announced a two-month withdrawal from public life while "waiting for the great popular uprising and the major revolution to stop the march of the corrupt."
"If the nation lets me, I can end the current government and form a new one without any corruption," he added.
So far things are largely nonviolent. They could explode any time if public sentiment is ignored.
