The Board of Directors of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre Corporation (MTCC) has announced the appointment of General Manager Lorenz Hassenstein to the position of President & CEO. The move is part of succession planning as incumbent Barry Smith steps down on 1 February, 2019.

During Smith's term as President & CEO, revenues at the convention centre have doubled and generated a record-breaking US$594m in economic impact; the largest contribution to the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario in the facility's history.
"MTCC customer satisfaction ratings have never been higher. As Barry departs, he will leave us with an assembly of top-notch professionals to continue achieving success," Thiel added.
Over the past 34 years, the Centre has hosted over 20,000 events and has added $6.3bn in direct spending economic impact to the community. www.mtccc.com

Did you know that Massachusetts has more local public health jurisdictions than any other state? Most other states have county or district-based health departments, but here most of our 351 cities and towns operate their own boards of health. To get a better sense of what makes Massachusetts local health so unique, we spoke with Ron O'Connor, Director of the Office of Local and Regional Health here at DPH.
What exactly do local boards of health do?
The primary mission of local health boards is to prevent hazards and illness from spreading in their community by enforcing local, state and federal health codes. This can mean a whole host of things from ensuring safe food handling at restaurants to infectious disease surveillance. They also enforce tobacco regulations, inspect local beaches, camps, and pools, and investigate consumer complaints regarding things like unsafe housing conditions, trash disposal, illegal dumping, and landfill use.
In addition, since 9/11, they have coordinated emergency planning with police, fire, and medical personnel. They have to be ready to provide treatment, mass vaccinations, and prompt information to residents in cases of extreme weather events or chemical, biological or radioactive incidents.
And nowadays, their list of duties has ballooned to also include things like preventing insect and tick-borne diseases, reducing substance addiction and the prevalence of chronic diseases, and promoting health campaigns on topics such as reducing obesity and improving mental health. In short, a little bit of everything!
Who are our local public health employees?
The local public health workforce includes health directors, health inspectors, public health nurses, and elected or appointed members of the boards of health. They work as a team to provide public health services and protections for all of our residents. Together they work tirelessly every day to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone who lives, works, learns, and plays in Massachusetts.
Does DPH work closely with local boards of health?
Absolutely! DPH has an important, longstanding partnership with local boards of health. We focus on the conditions in which people grow, live, and work, otherwise known as the social determinants of health. We also work together on a wide range of issues including emergency preparedness, food protection, housing, infectious disease surveillance and case management, tobacco control, substance addiction, lead poisoning prevention, and on and on.
I once heard someone say "If you've met one board of health, you've met one board of health, "likely because each is so different. Does that ring true to you?
Yes – to some extent. Massachusetts has a decentralized system for the delivery of public health services. That means that the local boards of health operate independently of our state department. The Massachusetts tradition of municipal independence means that each city and town has developed its own unique character. Although some cities and towns share public health services, they retain local control over public health matters. The over 1,000 individuals that serve as members of the boards of health come from all walks of life but they share one thing in common – a commitment to the health and wellbeing of all residents and visitors.
Since DPH is celebrating its 150 anniversary this year, it's worth noting that local public health actually has its roots here in Massachusetts – Boston was the first local public health department in the nation; Paul Revere was its first health officer in 1799. Because of that history and tradition, I have heard it said that "If it was good enough for Paul Revere, it is good enough for us!"
Is there anything else we should know about local public health in Massachusetts?
People often describe public health as an "invisible" part of local government – in contrast to things like public safety, public works, and education. When local public health is working effectively, it is relatively "unseen" in the community but its impact is felt broadly – in safe places to eat, healthy homes, communities prepared for emergencies, and more. It's satisfying to come to work every day and know that we're working in partnership with cities and towns to deliver a really important service for people across the Commonwealth.

People have started taking to Facebook, Twitter and TikTok using a quirky new challenge to raise vital funds for a charity caring for Scots with conditions that put them at high risk from the coronavirus outbreak.
Supporters of Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland and staff have turned to cups of tea to raise vital funds for the charity during this difficult time.
The challenge is simple - you film yourself throwing a teabag into a mug from a distance and share it on your social media channels using #TeaBagChallenge and tag @CHSScotland. Then nominate your friends and donate £5 to Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.
Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland like many others across the UK, has felt the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. They have had to close their chain of charity shops, postpone or cancel fundraising events and ensure that their vital support services can be accessed online or over the phone.
The charity has said that all money raised from the challenge will go towards providing one to one support over the phone and online to make sure people with chest heart and stroke conditions don't fight the virus alone – and to help people recover if they experience serious complications from the virus.
Jane-Claire Judson, Chief Executive at Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, said: "We want to make sure that no one at risk from coronavirus faces this outbreak alone. People with long term conditions like COPD need support more than ever right now and it is absolutely incredible to see the innovative ways people are rallying round to help.
"At Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland we never underestimate the power of a cup of tea. You might not be able to share a cuppa with your friends and family right now, but you can do this simple challenge to help people across Scotland live their lives to the full.
"So, while we're all at home, why not make your tea-break matter and do the #TeaBagChallenge for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland today!
"Every pound raised will help support people at risk from the virus and support the recovery of those who survive it."
Richard Cowan, 69 from Aberdeenshire, is living with COPD. He said: "Living with COPD during the coronavirus outbreak is a really scary time.
"It's been very difficult as I can't see my grandchildren, but it put such a smile on my face to see them getting involved in this fun challenge.
"It's heart-warming to see families coming together and doing something positive to help make sure there is support for people like me who are at risk from coronavirus.
"Please encourage your family to get involved and donate whatever they can. Sharing positivity right now is so important."

Push the Button - Get All The Things
What is the world coming to? Honestly. We thought we had se…Full Story
May 15, 2015
Yesterday we took an inspiration day and attended the 25th anniversary agIdeas International Design Forum. The day consisted of listening to presentations and panel discussions from 16 local and international design industry gurus about the processes and thinking behind their award winning work. Design for social enterprise and tech start-ups were popular topics of the day, followed by engaging conversations from areas of communication design, product and industrial design, user experience design, entertainment design and strategic design. While each individual speaker was truly insightful in their own right, these three were just a few of our highlights of the day.
Creating his own individually crafted typography for 98% of work projects, Henrik Kubel is one half of London based design and typography office A2/SW/HK + A2 TYPE. Henrik became famous for his beautiful typography worldwide when approached by Penguin books to design a typographical cover for best selling "Zadie Smith on Beauty" by Zadie Smith in 2006. Since then he has redesigned typefaces for The Independent, The New York Times, Aperture and even a complete new way finding system for the Moscow Department of Transport.
Dirk is an industrial designer who became fascinated with 3D printing and sustainable design while in his final year of design school. He combined his loves to create the world's first robot that can extrude furniture pieces from 100% recyclable material (Dirk uses recycled refrigerators to produce his amazing designs). Using the remains of old plastic from typewriters and computers, Dirk created a Melting Pot Table where the origin of the material is clearly visible. He also uses his studios own colourful waste to create these amazing 120kg pieces of furniture.
James presentation oozed youthfulness and hilarity, much like his creative concepts and extremely successful communication design career showcases. The mastermind behind hair care product brand Evo (one of our personal favourites), James took us through a "sorbet of shit work" before showcasing campaigns for Evo that have been banned in countries due to their too-sexy-for-screens themes and the processes of how he created the most Instagrammed restaurant in the world, Motel Mexicola in Bali.

While Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack was testifying in front of the Senate Finance Committee Thursday, he was interrupted by Sen. Pat Roberts's ringtone, which is "Let It Go" from Frozen.
Vilsack stopped talking and smiled while the 78-year-old Republican from Kansas tried to quickly turn off the device during this "Congress and U.S. Tariff Policy" hearing.

Looking at the cabinet member, Roberts said "just let it go," prompting laughter from others in the room.
He tweeted that the ringtone is for his grandchildren, while also digging the current administration:

Love in the Midst of the Danger
I never learned. I guess this is how hard-headed journalists can be.
For the sake of duty, I braved my way through the strong, heavy rains this morning. Just like August last year, torrential rains caused by monsoon rains (or habagat in our Tagalog language) are causing floods in much of Metro Manila and the National Capital Region (NCR). Since Saturday, the rains did not stop. But I felt no fear as I took a van to work. Only discomfort because of the cold. I'm quite used to this though. For me, it's not an obligation, but an honor to be part of a team who will bravely go out and witness history.
But due to lack of so many things, operations have to be cancelled. And just like last year, I received the announcement when I am already in the office. *Sigh*
On the positive note, I hitched a hike with people who are going the same way…unlike the last year when I was stranded for hours before getting a bus home.
Almost the same scenario but I never learned. I had this mindset that I have to move towards something unless it's really impossible. Deep inside I have this fighting spirit that keeps me moving despite of storms or unkind circumstances.
It's just too bad not to out into the field today. I don't know why. I love danger. It's not because I love to see humanity suffering. But I love to see how love is poured out from humanity when the danger sets in.
In my coverage yesterday, I saw a glimpse on how the Marikina government was looking after its people, especially the evacuees who had to flee their homes because of the rising river. The city administrator explained to me how 50 volunteers were able to serve breakfast, lunch, and maybe dinner for about 2,400 evacuees. Most are already leaving the evacuation centers as the waters were beginning to subside. Seeing the ratio of volunteers, I wonder how much grace and patience they have to give to serve more than a thousand.
But the weather seem to have gone worst today. I just haven't seen how things have been now.
With memories flashing back, I will never actually forget the horror of being a stranded passenger last year. No other way to go home, I walked meters to find a ride that would at least make me come closer to home. I'll never forget the regret and frustration I felt that made my head swirl a lot. I felt so embarrassed for looking so lost and drenched while being too well-dressed. And most of all, the fear of not knowing what's next as the waters were rising.
But it is at these moments when strangers, who might because have this empathy of being lost too, would try to share a seat in the bus or spare a space for you. Some of them would even offer you their only bread — their lone meal for the day. I wanted to cry, because of the goodness I felt in the middle of a cruel situation. They don't know how they have become heroes in their own small way.
Such is the heroism of humanity. With this, I salute my fellow workers who brave the torrential rains just to bring in fulfillment in their duties; the media who go into danger just to update the public on the latest news, the store owners and sellers who opened their stores to offer food and shelter to stranded passengers, the rescuers, military and those involved in disaster response management just to rescue thousands who are trapped in their own homes, and the unknown volunteers, just like those in Marikina, who are ready to leave their homes and families just to serve the needy and the lost.
Workers like me might never learn to stay at home in dangerous times in order to fulfill duties. But I hope we should never set aside to give sacrificial love for the sake of our fellowmen.
Reviewing the Creed
I'd never thought my teacher's assignment would haunt me again.
Well, one, at least. When my first journalism teacher asked us to recite Walter William's "The Journalist's Creed", I did not know its purpose.
I thought I'd recite it just like any other recital piece: memorize it, perform it, then forget it. By performing it, as usual, I got a standing ovation because of my acting talent. But the purpose of this creed is not to be a declamation piece.
I only realized it after a year of being in broadcasting.
For the second time, I've encountered "hao shiao" or our term for fake media personnel.
It was only yesterday that I got to talk to some of them for the first time.
I've heard that hao shiao are not there to cover but to ask for favors and freebies from hosts who request for media coverages for events like a city's foundation day or a national forum. As a complement, these hosts would give lunch or snacks to media men while we cover their events. However, some politicians dare to give more than that to media people. And that's where the hao shiaos are for.
Yup, they come in IDs complete with an affliation, usually from print or radio. Others pretend as photographers. I sensed that it was dangerous to deal with them. They asked me if I can invite them to any media conference I know and they'd invite me everytime they got a scoop.
Here's the strangest part: none of those who talked with me interviewed the personality I interviewed, except for one. Usually media people, when one interviews a prominent personality, they would push one another to join along the interview. That fella did stick with my team to ask questions but he has no recorder nor did take notes along!
That's proof that they are not there to get a story, but was hoping to get favors from that personality.
It's sad how they use the profession of journalism just to get what they want. This also got the real professionals in trouble, in which we're falsely accused as fakes.
But I would admit I've just seen an overview of this profession's tragic instance. As I thought about this instance, I thought of reviewing The Journalist's Creed after years.
Now, I understand why we are made to memorize it.
In this way, the principle attached to this creed will stick to my mind and soon enough to my heart.
A journalist's profession is a public service not a gold mine.
We should take heart to inform not to gain.
I am young and inexperienced but with the Lord, I pray that I am one of those to take broadcasting to its honest self, once more.
And I am here in this job to spread out facts, not to sensationalize or distort a personality.
And there's so much more to learn from this profession.
I just hope I'll always remember this creed with all my heart.
And I hope I won't use it as a declamation piece again. 🙂
So, here's the creed that I'm talking about…
The Journalist's Creed by Walter Williams
I believe in the profession of Journalism.
I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of responsibility, trustees for the public; that all acceptance of lesser service than the public service is a betrayal of this trust.
I believe that clear thinking, clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.
I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.
I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible.
I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one's own pocket book is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another's instructions or another's dividends.
I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.
I believe that the journalism which succeeds the best-and best deserves success-fears God and honors man; is stoutly independent; unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power; constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of the privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance, and as far as law, an honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting international good will and cementing world-comradeship, is a journalism of humanity, of and for today's world
Gagging the Truth Bearer
For the sake of truth, we journalists know the risk of it. But I never thought such danger would happen to one of us at these times.
Most of us in MPC were shocked to know that one of our colleagues, Fernan Angeles of The Daily Tribune, was a victim of an attack Sunday night. As said by his wife, before he became unconscious, he knew who his attacker was…and this was someone influential. We're hoping for the best that he would completely recover and that justice would be brought upon his assailants.
I myself spurred thoughts after hearing much of this incident. Though we're been rallying against impunity and injustice, made much awareness to the expectant public in incomprehensible speed through social media and other means, and did all the means to make sure that tragic deaths of media men will never happen, there are still many who would dare shut up the mouths of these truth bearers – I, as one of them. But this was not a reason for us to be afraid of what we're doing. This is our job…and we'd rather stand by telling the truth rather than closing our eyes to it.
Ok, let's admit that most of us are really dared to go beyond the expected thinking, are very loud and even provocative. But we do it to make the public think and rethink. Once the public dig deeper into the obvious, there's much exposure and it would not be pleasant. This is what they are afraid of…and would dare to stop the quarry before revealing the murky part of their palaces.
We, of course, are reminded of the weight of our responsibility. We stand by a code that makes us unbiased. Some of us won't, though. But, this does not mean that all of us should fall because of who we are and what we do.
There are still many cases of media killings that are not solved…forgotten, actually. What are we to do? We are doing our best to let the world know – and remind not to forget my fellow colleagues who had fallen and who are struggling for justice. This is a fallen world, I can say, and for sure more arrows are set out to attack our kind. But it will never stop us…and they'll never will.
Let not these attacks completely gag the truth. They might silence the reporter, but never silence the truth.

What a week! With all the sales and blog hops (there were two!) this week, I'm happy to share a super-simple thank you card. Nothing too fancy, and nothing too flashy. Just beautiful colors in a fresh layout with a classic sentiment. I made lots of these cards to send to my top customers during Sale-a-Bration. I used Stampin' Up!'s Notecards (with coordinating envelopes), so it was really fun to pull these together as a quick "thank you".
Tips, Tricks and Reminders
- Layout. This layout has been living with me for a couple of months. I received an adorable "I Freakin' Love You" card from Pam, my direct upline and friend, in February with this exact layout. I set it aside and knew I'd make cards for my team or customers with this adorable, one-panel-three-banner layout. It sat on my desk, just waiting to be used. Coincidentally, a couple weeks later, this sketch showed up int he CAS(E) this Sketch challenge: Does someone over there have a camera in the Fungeon? 🙂
- Regarding Dahlia. At first glance, you might not even see the dahlia peeping over the edge of this panel. The flower was definitely an after-thought on this card, but it really brings everything together perfectly. My plan was to leave the entire panel white (except for the sentiment), but I live with an open mind and knew it needed something else. I think the pale yellow flower (it's stamped in So Saffron) was the thing I needed. I'm going to miss this super-modern and groovy flower – I also love the sentiments in this set. If you don't have it, this might be a good time to pick it up:
- Banner Selection. The three banners are punched with the Banner Punch from Sale-a-Bration's Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper. The two palest banners are placed on the outside – with the yellow banner (it's a light shade of Crushed Curry) on the bottom to balance the yellow flower in the top, left. The deepest Calypso Coral banner was placed in the center to balance the colors – squint, and the Calypso Coral banner makes sense there. Now, send me a nickel. 🙂
Stamp Sets: Another Thank You, Regarding Dahlia Papers: Notecards, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-Bration) Inks: Calypso Coral, So Saffron Accessories: Banner Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!
Spring One-for-One Swap. Yesterday, I announced my Spring One-for-One Swap. If you haven't participated in one of these, NOW is the time. It's a great way to share your work with others and receive a beautiful card in return. I'll even share the projects on my blog – you don't want to miss out on this! There's not a lot of time to mail your card to me, so start preparing your beauty. 🙂 For more information about this swap, please check out this post.
IN WITH THE OLD & OUT WITH THE NEW. In conjunction with the Retiring Items List, I'm sharing my very own promotion from now until the middle of May.
When you spend at least $50 with me, I'll send you:
- A PRINTED COPY OF THE 2015-2016 ANNUAL CATALOG and
- FREE PRODUCT FROM THE UPCOMING ANNUAL CATALOG*. I'll send you my favorite new accessory from the soon-to-be-released catalog when it's released in June. While I haven't seen the new catalog and can't tell you what that item will be, I can tell you it'll be something I love valued at $4-$6.

Tepid response to Bigg Boss 10's launch episode with 5.8 mn impressions: BARC
According to the data released by BARC India for Week 42 (October 15-31), the launch episode garnered 5.8 million impressions and its average impressions for the week were just 3.8 million impressions
Despite all the hoopla of pitting the common man against the celebrities, the new season of Bigg Boss has failed to garner enough eyeballs According to the data released by TV rating agency BARC India for Week 42 (October 15-31), the launch episode got 5.8 million impressions and its average impressions for the week were just 3.8 million impressions. According to media reports, dance reality show Super Dancer (on Sony TV) and the comedy show 'The Kapil Sharma Show' marched ahead of the reality show for the same week.
Even on social media it's didn't have a thundering response, as understood from the data collected by Meltwater India till October 26. On social media, the show generated 4.75k mentions on social media and 229 on news portals (like Missmalini, Bollywoodlife, DNA and News18). The sentiment shared on social media was on the neutral side while on the news it was negative.
Adele Coelho, Head of Marketing at Meltwater India, Middle East and Africa, shares more insight, "The much awaited season premiere of Bigg Boss Season 10 has finally arrived. From the coverage of episode 1, it seems most of the sentiment on editorial sources have been negative. On the contrary, as a whole, the sentiment shared on social media seemed to be more positive than negative. Unsurprisingly, social conversations dominated the news coverage by 20X.What's also interesting is that Bigg Boss seems to have a following not only in India, but also in the US and Canada."
It will be interesting to see how Colors will play out its strategy for one of its biggest properties, considering 'Bigg Boss' dismal performance in the last season. According to the media reports the ninth season is remembered as the worst season in the history of 'Bigg Boss'. Only Shah Rukh Khan's episode (for the promotions of 'Dilwale') managed to fetch in TRP rating of 2.9 in that season - the highest that the ninth season saw.For more updates, be socially connected with us on

Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to surprise a young fan with a signed ball. The problem? It's tough to be Ronaldo and surprise anyone since his presence draws huge crowds and attention.
Ronaldo solved this buy wearing a wig and fake mustache. And the boy had no idea who he was, until he pulled it off and gave him the ball.
While we would normal frown upon Ronaldo wearing any disguise — what's the point of being so good-looking if you're going to hide it? — this time he did it for a good reason.

I was the damned of them all, the verdict was in I had but only myself now to blame. I felt from the heart that the trip was all through I had lost the one fight I couldn't dam lose. I'm the damned of the damned I new from the past that this time the penalty would be life long and lasting, probably longer than any of you could ever imagine. I have imagined the worst but I knew even that was never gonna compare what was gonna dam happen. I was subject to pain and the truth was it was more probable pain than any man felt. When I felt that pain I fought the urge to give in to temptation. I had to hold in that one thing that kept me alive the secret of the world and everything hidden. I felt the tearing of skin the burning of fire but I knew if I ever damn let it go now then I had lost the battle of battles. I had to hold out as long as I could and I held out forever or as long as I should. I died with my secret even now then to die with this secret meant excruciating damn pain. I'm stronger than them I held back the truth and there wasn't' anything now or then they could do. What was the secret well you'll never dam know cause I don't think I would ever tell any of you. Not that I couldn't but I wouldn't because it's my secret and it protects all that I own and if you ever get it believe me you won't. The secret has to be earned and you fail the test to have a secret like this you have to confess and you never would. You would hold it all in until the day that you die you have your own secrets you cover with lies. If that secret comes out I know what you would do you would look at each other and wonder the who and the what and the why but the truth is it's you, you where part of it too and if you ever admit that you would have to admit you have only yourself to blame for the state we're all in.

- Description
Organic onions seeds for sprouting and microgreens
How to sprout onion seeds
- Rinse and soak the onion seeds in clean water for 12 hours.
- Drain and rinse the seeds and put them in your sprouting tray or jar.
- Rinse the seeds twice daily.
- Onion sprouts are slower than other sprouts but should be ready within 10-15 days.
- Onions are unique in that the sprout they produce is actually the plant - as opposed to the root. The sprouts look like micro-scallions.
- Once you see sprouting you can move the sprouting tray into the light – but not direct sunlight.
- Onion seed can also be sown as a microgreen.
Using Onion Sprouts in your Cooking
Onions sprouts are very delicate and crunchy. Ideal in sandwiches or wraps - they will give texture and a light onion taste. Very effective as a garnish.
Nutriton and health benefits of the Onion sprouts
- Contains vitamins A, B, C, and E.
- Also rich in calcium, iron and potassium.
- The greener onion sprouts which were exposed to more light will also contain a significant amount of chlorophyll.
How to grow onion microgreens from seed:
- Sprinkle the onion seeds over a tray of compost and press down gently.
- It is advisable to use a micro biologically tested compost such as Klasmann's Peat Free Seed Compost to ensure there is no ecoli present.
- Keep the compost moist – be careful not to over water though!
- The mini scallions that are produced are smaller than the seed so it is a good idea to sow onions more densely than other microgreens.
- Slow growing – but big on taste and visual impact!

Right now, Action for Children is helping the most vulnerable families across the UK during the coronavirus outbreak.
Before coronavirus hit, there were over 4 million children in the UK locked in poverty. Now vulnerable families in all of our communities have reached breaking point, and Action for Children is doing all it can to help.
We are supporting families to cover the cost of basic essentials, like food, nappies, cleaning products and gas and electricity.
Learn more and find out how to help.
We work to change the lives of vulnerable children in the UK. We've been doing this for 150 years.
We've learnt a lot in this time - gathering experience and expertise that we use every day in more than 475 local services, in schools, and online. We make a real difference by doing what's proven to work, and by coming up with new solutions. Last year, we reached 387,000 children, young people and families in the UK.
In our nurseries and children's centres, our expert staff make sure children get the best start in life. Our foster, adoption and modern residential services find children a loving home. We protect those who have been abused or neglected, and help children who care for others or find themselves homeless. Projects like the Blues Programme give young people the tools to look after their mental and emotional wellbeing.
The number of children we supported through nurseries, out-of-school clubs, children's centres, family centres and playgroups. That's parenting programmes, ante-natal support and breastfeeding advice; drop-in groups. Plus specialised help to address or prevent problems that may arise in the first years of a child's life.
The number of children and young people we helped to find a stable and loving home. We've protected them from domestic violence, self-harm and suicide; built warm and supportive relationships with parents and carers; and helped them develop social skills and friendships. We've kept families together, or made sure children are cared for through fostering and adoption.
The number of children we've helped to improve their mental health in 2017/18. We've given support to young people who care for a family member, helped build practical life skills and friendships, turned around the lives of those who have committed a crime. Seventy-seven per cent of young people who took part in our Blues Programme showed an improvement in their mental health and wellbeing.

November 14, 2008
It's time for a confession. For years now, I've harbored a secret addiction.
I'm not talking about my addiction to books. For Read More...
Marie Bostwick Skinner was born in Eugene, Oregon and raised
in the Northwest. She vividly remembers the day she got her
very own library card. "I was about three years old and had
just learned to write my first and last name, a skill which
qualified me to become a library patron. I nagged my poor
mother until she drove me downtown to get my card so I could
check out my first book 'Hop On Pop' by Dr. Seuss."
It was the beginning of a lifetime love affair with the
written word. As a girl, Marie wrote love stories featuring
lots of handsome princes in fast cars and extensive
descriptions of the heroine's wardrobe. In high school she
began writing short stories and, "lots of sad, self-pitying,
teenage poetry."
Marie was lucky enough to meet the love of her life, Brad at
a young age. However, between marriage, motherhood, finishing her
college education, and moving a score of times for her
husband's career, there wasn't much time left for writing.
Life was happy just the same. Marie enjoyed raising her
three sons, working in a variety paid and volunteer jobs,
and making time for hobbies like quilting, cooking, and
reading . . . always reading.
In 1994, Marie wandered into a writer's workshop and her old
romance with words was rekindled. At the instructor's
urging, she began writing again. She completed one short
story a month for more than three years though she never
submitted them, feeling her work was not yet ready for
publication. Marie plugged away; raising her sons, doing
volunteer work, taking seminary courses, working in
professional ministry, and month by month teaching herself
to write. Finally one of her short stories refused to stay
short. It grew into Marie's first novel, FIELDS OF GOLD,
published by Kensington in September of 2005.
Marie lives in Oregon with Brad, her husband of thirty-five years. When not writing, she enjoys quilting, reading, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and especially playing with her grandsons. Marie travels extensively, speaking at libraries, bookstores, quilt guilds, and at quilt shows. She has been a featured speaker at the Paducah Quilt Festival and the Houston International Quilt Festival and has given keynote addresses at both the Florida Writers Association and La Jolla Writers conferences.

Artificial intelligence (AI) helps machines do cognitive tasks typically reserved for humans. It has the potential to enable marketers to create content at scale and distribute the right content at the right time to better-segmented prospects. But, it's not always obvious how marketers, executives and entrepreneurs can take advantage of AI.
Artificial intelligence is a broad term that encompasses many different technologies and processes, such as machine learning, deep learning, image recognition and natural language processing. With so many terms, plus the pace at which AI is advancing, it can be a bit overwhelming, but forward-thinking businesses are using AI to gain a serious competitive advantage in their markets.
I began heavily researching AI in 2012, shortly after IBM Watson demonstrated the power of cognitive computing by winning on Jeopardy! In addition to reading everything I could find on the topic, we experimented with building an AI-powered marketing strategy engine that would recommend actions and campaigns based on probabilities of success.
Then, in October 2016, I decided to shift our focus from software to storytelling, launching the Marketing Artificial Intelligence Institute. To gather the best information, we went straight to the source, interviewing more than a dozen founders, CEOs and marketing executives to date at companies that offer marketing AI solutions.
What we learned about the future of cognitive content hints at an exciting – and transformative – future for content marketers and brands that use content to attract, nurture and close business.
Personalized Content At Scale
In our interviews, one key benefit of AI for content marketers became clear: using artificial intelligence to personalize content marketing at scale.
"The most prolific content marketers have lots of content," Adam Weinroth, chief marketing officer at OneSpot, a machine learning content distribution platform, told us. "Consumers won't spend their time and attention with content that isn't relevant to their interests, because they have infinite choice and complete control."
A number of AI solutions use advanced machine learning to predict which content will perform best with an audience and suggest additional content pieces that may encourage a conversion. These predictions and recommendations can be executed at scale, leaving human marketers to do what they do best: drive strategy and performance at a high-level.
"AI in marketing helps better target messages so that the right information reaches the right person at the right time," says Aki Balogh, co-founder and chief product officer at MarketMuse, an AI-powered content optimization platform. "It's a necessity because we're all drowning in noise."
Automatic Content Creation In Seconds
Several companies we interviewed use natural language generation (NLG) to tell data-driven stories far faster than humans ever could. NLG parses data using human-designed algorithms and turns that data into readable copy.
Says Adam Long, director of product management at Automated Insights, which sells Wordsmith, an NLG system: "Artificial intelligence is being used to create product descriptions for ecommerce firms and property listings for real estate agencies. These firms are able to replace expensive freelancers (who have questionable quality) with high-quality, automated content. It's so cost-effective, their in-house marketers can use [it] to write more descriptions than they could afford to with freelancers."
NLG makes it possible for marketers to automatically create content from their data. This opens up the possibility of writing thousands of stories in minutes, attracting exponentially more traffic, leads and sales for the same or fewer resources than is possible with an all-human team.
Deeper Insights That Humans Don't See
Artificial intelligence isn't just making content creation and targeting easier; it's providing deeper insights into how content marketing fits into a brand's larger marketing efforts. Tools exist to extract patterns from your marketing data, then detail which marketing actions work and which don't.
"By analyzing the vast amount of data that is now available to marketers, combining it with other data that they typically don't have access to and applying machine learning, AI can help marketers understand how their campaigns and actions work like never before," says Guillaume Decugis, CEO and co-founder of Scoop.it, a content publishing platform that uses AI.
Artificial intelligence systems offer unprecedented insight into campaigns, both content and otherwise, delivering findings that human marketers just don't see — or have the time to unearth.
Limitations Of Content Marketing AI
However, as we learned in our discussions, implementing these tools isn't always easy or fast. The AI tools out there for content marketers are diverse and offer varying levels of complexity.
Most people we talked to recommended starting small with AI and setting clear goals for what you'd like to achieve. Or Shani, CEO and founder at Adgorithms, an autonomous marketing platform, advises: "For larger organizations that want to explore a holistic solution that solves bigger problems, rather than bolting on yet another point solution to their already complex tech stack, they can start and test small — maybe one campaign, in one region, on one channel. And then, over time, they can expand to all regions, all channels and all campaigns."
But don't get intimidated, despite the complexity of terminology or the tech involved.
"AI doesn't have to be expensive or scary," says André König, co-founder at Opentopic, which uses machine learning to personalize marketing efforts. "There are many specialized AI vendors for sentiment analysis, NLP, image recognition, etc. that make their technology available as an affordable SaaS product."

Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School students proved that they have a love for reading, as they read more than 649,600 minutes this January during this year's We Are Reading More initiative.
Throughout the monthlong program, students read independently at home and at school, keeping a log of their efforts, and participated in a number of activities and days. Keeping with this year's theme of Reading is Sweet, students decorated paper candies with their favorite book titles and authors and created paper cupcakes with nonfiction facts, which were displayed in the building. They pledged to stay device-free on an electronic blackout day, wore their favorite team shirts on team day and shared their favorite Time for Kids articles and writing pieces with family and friends.
Renowned author Peter Catalanotto also visited the school and shared his personal life story and words of encouragement for overcoming obstacles. Mr. Catalanotto spoke about the desire to always be an artist and the evolution into becoming a writer, as well as the personal struggles he faced throughout that process.
Students earned rewards throughout the month, including raffle tickets to win various prizes to entertainment establishments and stores in the area. Winners of the raffles were announced during the culminating WARM activity. Teachers donned silly outfits and went head to head in grade-level races to celebrate all of the students' efforts and accomplishments.

#124: Jonathan Hallinan of BPM - Building iconic design
Jonathan Hallinan is the Founder and Managing Director of property construction and development group BPM Corp, and owner of a global suit venture, The Cloakroom.
With a strong emphasis on artisanal and aspirational design, Jonathan makes a point in this interview that BPM is less about being high-end and more about being affordable while maintaining quality and luxury.
While Jonathan has created incredible success in the growth of BPM Corp, a really poignant part of this interview was our discussion about how his measure of success has changed. Life is less about the focus on financials, and more about the simpler things in life like human connection and life experience.
This was a short but sweet interview, due to the nature of how busy Jonathan is - but indeed there are lessons here for everyone.

What.a.day. I'm really sad to say that I'm writing this after 3am.
I woke up around 9am when one of my brother's called. He needed something from Home Depot and I happened to be going to Brookhaven today (a bigger town than our tiny town) and so I told him I'd be happy to grab him something while out there. Then I started school with the kids.
We got a lot done today. Not as much as I'd hoped, but once again I had to cut things short to take one of the kiddos… Asher… to the doctor. He had a vaccination appointment so we got ready and got out the door by 12:30.
Before I left, I made sure the other kids had lunch and then gave them a to-do list. We really needed to catch up on some household chores that have been neglected lately.
We got about a mile from my house and um… we had a little mishap. Asher from the backseat of the truck said, "Uuuummmm, Mommy?" and I turn to see this:
Yeah. This is what happens when you buckle your child into the carseat but NOT the carseat into the truck. We don't ride in the truck much so I have no idea when/how the carseat got unbuckled. I quickly pulled over and got him all fixed up then we were on the road again.
Anywho… we got to the doctor and Asher played a bit in the lobby while we waited. 🙂
Then when we got into the actual exam room and I told him he was getting a shot today, he decided to hide so the nurse "won't shoot me" (he said). Hahahaha!
Anyway, he survived the shot and all was good. But while I waited, I opened some mail and my sweet cousin Michelle who lives in Alabama had sent me some candy corn socks!! I love candy corn and I absolutely LOVE cute socks and she just made my day!!
Also while we waited, my friend Chrissy, who is a missionary, posted on Facebook that she missed me! She's the one who I missed seeing on Sunday because I slept the afternoon/evening away.
Anyway, they live in Virginia but happen to be in Brookhaven this week and since I was in Brookhaven at that very moment, it worked out for us to see each other after we left the doctor's office … YAY!! Unfortunately, the only pic I have is one Asher took on my phone with some WACKY filter. :-p
This is Chrissy and her husband, Jon. Aren't they cute? After a great visit and some really good cheese sticks, Asher & I left to run by Walmart, then on to Home Depot, and then home.
We got home around 5:30pm and after unloading the groceries and trying to check email for a little while, it was time to go to church. Oh, and Richy made us hot dogs and tator tots for supper. We always keep it simple on Wednesday nights.
After church… that's when I realized I was in for a long night. When I actually made my baking list and orders list for the rest of the week, I knew I had a lot to do tonight baking, frosting cupcakes, and decorating 3 dozen cake pops) … and sure enough, I finished at 2:50 am and I still have lots to do before I can deliver tomorrow.
One more thing… our pics from Saturday are ready… here's one of my faves:
So, now… 3:30 am, everything is put away for the night, this blog post is written (I'm way too darn close to my 31 days goal to miss a night now) and I'm going to sleep.
Happy Thursday ya'll!!

Simple washing machine could keep firefighters safe
Dirty gear contains carcinogens that skin could absorb
The Milwaukee Fire Department is rolled out a new plan to keep its firefighters safer by cutting down exposure to toxins.
For a long time, dirty gear acted as a badge of honor. The dirtier the gear, the more fires a firefighter has battled.
But dirty gear could be deadly.
The gear could contain carcinogens, so it's important to wash them right away.
"Our skin absorbed those carcinogens and it puts our firefighters at further risk," Milwaukee Fire Chief Mark Rohlfing said.
Firefighters are at a 40 percent greater risk to be diagnosed with cancer than the average person, according to Mahlon Mitchell, Wisconsin President of Professional Firefighters.
"For every five degrees in temperature of their skin the absorption of carcinogens goes up by 400 percent," Cat Zynieki said.
To combat the carcinogens, firehouses are being outfitted with washing machines so clothes underneath gear can be washed immediately.
"Even my own husband, who has been on the job for 16 years, he takes a shower the second day and you can smell that barbecue. That's carcinogens in the skin and pores," Zynieki said.
Gear will also stay quarantined in designated areas in the firehouse.
Mitchell said firehouses still need help from lawmakers.
"Right now we are working on what's called a fire retardants bill. There is a list of 10 toxins that actually seep through our gear," Mitchell said.
Eleven states have already banned the toxins Wisconsin is looking to ban.

From CleanPosts
The lowest and westernmost of the Issaquah Alps, Cougar Mountain is a zone of highlands in suburban Seattle, Washington, rising abruptly from southeast of the intersection of I-90 and I-405. Reaching as high as 1,595 feet above sea-level, about two-thirds of Cougar Mountain has experienced residential development, but the forested heart of the hills was officially preserved by King County, Washington|King County in June 1983 as a Regional Wildland Park. The first land acquisition was in January 1985. With 36 miles of hiking trails and 12 miles of equestrian trails providing a true wilderness experience on Seattle's very doorstep, the park has grown piecemeal to 3,098 acres, becoming the largest urban wildland in the United States.
Outside the official boundaries of the park are many more miles of trails in city greenbelts or on swaths of private land too steep to patrol for errant hikers, let alone develop. Additionally, King County Parks has attempted, by obscuring connections with main trails, to "erase" a network of trails in the southeast quadrant of Cougar Mountain to create a Designated Wildlife Corridor connecting to the rest of the Issaquah Alps. After a decade of neglect, most of these trails are still in good condition once the hiker has negotiated through the brushy endpoints.
The main trailheads are Red Town in Newcastle, elevation 600 feet, at the site of an old coal-mining company town, Radar Park in Bellevue, elevation 1,400 feet, where a radar installation for Project_Nike|Nike missiles was located during the Cold War, and Wilderness Creek, elevation 400 feet, on State Route 900 near May Valley Road. These Trailhead|trailheads provide maps and there are directional Information_sign|signs at each trail intersection. Several lesser trailheads provide access from neighborhoods abutting the park.
The park is bordered on the north by the city of Bellevue, Washington|Bellevue (primarily Eastgate%2C_Washington|Eastgate) and on the northeast by the city of Issaquah, Washington|Issaquah. State Route 900 forms the eastern border. Neighboring Squak Mountain looms to the southeast and the farms of May Creek valley lie to the south. To the southwest is the city of Renton, Washington|Renton. The city of Newcastle, Washington|Newcastle, ranging over the Newport Hills, occupies the western portion of Cougar Mountain. To the northwest the deep gully of Coal Creek (Washington)|Coal Creek, with its own separate park, divides Newcastle from Bellevue and Factoria%2C_Washington_%28neighborhood%29|Factoria.
- AA Peak - 1,480 feet. This peak overlooks Radar Park, a former Cold War military installation. Excellent views to the north of Lake Sammamish and Mt. Baker are obtained here.
- Claypit Peak - 1,560 feet. Separated from Wilderness Peak by a saddle, Claypit Peak looms above a 150 acre source of clay for bricks, leased by Mutual Materials in Newcastle, Washington|Newcastle.
- Deceiver Ridge - 1,220 feet. A broad plateau bristling with second-growth fir.
- Long View Peak - 1,445 feet. This summit has a horse hitch, a bench, and a view to the south.
- Marshall's Hill - 1,120 feet. Dominating the Renton side of Cougar Mountain, the top of Marshall's Hill is reached by switchbacks from the De Leo Wall.
- Reichert's Hill - 1,420 feet. Also known as Radio Hill or Goat Hill, this is the site of many radio and television station broadcast antennas.
- Ring Road Peak - 1,245 feet. On the shoulder of Long View Peak. The summit is outside the Park, on private property.
- Wilderness Peak - 1,595 feet. There is no view owing to a stand of old growth timber, but Wilderness Peak is the highest elevation in the park. There is a summit register.
The hilltops of Cougar Mountain form a rough horseshoe-shape around the Klondike Marsh headwaters of Coal Creek (Washington)|Coal Creek, which runs northwest to Lake Washington through Coal Creek Park. Long Marsh Creek, Far Country Creek, Cabbage Creek, and Wilderness Creek are tributaries of May Creek, draining the south side of Cougar Mountain to Lake Washington. Deeply etching the sandstone precipice on the north and east side, Lewis Creek, Kline Creek, AA Creek, West Tibbets Creek, and Claypit Creek carry their water to Lake Sammamish.
- Blackwater Pond - The headwaters of the east fork of Coal Creek.
- Jerry's Duck Pond - A quiet wooded man-made pond near the summit of Claypit Peak.
- Klondike Marsh - A former reservoir providing water for coal-car steam hoists.
- Lake Boren - A separate park in Newcastle, Lake Boren is the largest body of water in the highlands.
- Long Marsh - Large swamp between the Wildside Trail and Indian Trail.
- Shy Bear Marsh - The source of Cabbage Creek in the most remote part of the park.
- Tibbett's Marsh - The source of West Tibbett's Creek, crossed by a massive downed cedar log.
- Trog Swamp - Wetland along the Far Country Trail.
There are five named waterfalls within Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
- Coal Creek Falls 25 feet, seasonal flow. At Coal Creek near the Quarry Trail.
- Doughty Falls - At Cabbage Creek on the Deceiver Trail.
- Far Country Falls At Far Country Creek on the Indian Trail.
- North Fork Falls - 20 feet, year-round flow. Near the Red Town Trailhead.
- Sandstone Falls - On the Primrose Trail in Coal Creek Park.
Official Trails
North side
- N1: Coal Creek Trail - Trail begins at the trailhead where Coal Creek Parkway dips to cross the creek and is soon joined on the north by a trail leading to the Bellevue system of open spaces. Scenic Brickyard Creek joins from the south in a steep descent. At a Y the Primrose Trail (N11) peels off to tour the creek at its most scenic reach in a canyon where Sandstone Falls is found. The main line tours the relics of an old farm and is joined by the Primrose Trail again further on. Strange hummocks are found in this area which were debris piles created during coal mining operations more than a century ago. A steep road leaves the trail to the site of the Cinder Mine. The last 0.75 mile of the trail gently ascends to the Red Town trailhead with North Fork Falls and many coal-mining relics found along the way.
- N2: Military Road Trail - Trail begins at Red Town trailhead and ascends the old U.S. Army route (originally running to Issaquah) to the gate which marks the beginning of the Clay Pit Road. This is the only part of the Military Road that is accessed by an official trail. The route of the old road runs over Radio Hill and through private land, and it enters the park again above the Precipice Bottom Trail in a section informally called Harvey's Magic Quarter Mile.
- N3: Radio Peak Trail - Trail forks from the Coyote Creek Trail along the western edge of the Klondike Marsh and steadily ascends a rather narrow ridge populated with a fine stand of Douglas Fir. At the summit the trail arrives at a large cluster of radio transmitters and a service road that can take you down to Cougar Mountain Drive, but officially the trail ends here.
- N4: Coyote Creek Trail - Trail begins where Cougar Mountain Drive changes from blacktop to gravel. Also known as "Bill's Trail" (because Bill Culbert preferred to use this route to transit the area during high rains), the path meanders along the western edge of Klondike Swamp, crosses a clearing, and intersects the Claypit Road directly across from the terminus of the Cave Hole Trail.
- N5: Klondike Swamp Trail - Trail forks from the Coyote Creek Trail and passes along the base of Anti-Aircraft Peak where it meets the Klondike Swamp. An old woods road, the trail is relatively flat and straight, offering a quick route into the heart of Cougar Mountain. It passes a large vine maple that forms a canopy before ending at the Cougar Pass Trail.
- N6: Lost Beagle Trail - Trail ascends from the Klondike Swamp Trail through cool forest, switchbacking east to the summit area of Anti-Aircraft Peak.
- N7: AA Ridge Trail - Trail begins near the summit of Anti-Aircraft Peak and runs south down the gentle spine of the peak through a mixed coniferous and deciduous forest, reaching Cougar Pass which divides the watersheds of Coal Creek and West Tibbetts Creek.
- N8: Cougar Pass Trail - Trail connects the Klondike Swamp Trail with the Tibbetts Marsh Trail, connecting to the AA Ridge Trail at the highest point. It provides an alternative to the Clay Pit Road which parallels it just to the south.
- N9: Tibbett's Marsh Trail - Trail begins at Radar Park and provides the most direct route to the Claypit area, crossing the mile-wide saddle between AA and Claypit Peaks. It spans the marsh on a giant fallen cedar which has been converted into an ad hoc bridge with many axe strokes.
- N10: Peggy's Trail - Trail begins where a private gravel drive meets Cougar Mountain Drive a short distance from Radar Park. It strikes due north and descends the slope steeply, but inaction on the part of King County permitted the last link (a single lot just before the trail reaches 60th Street) to be developed, making this important route effectively a dead end trail. Hikers must now backtrack and use public roads to reach the Lewis Creek Canyon system of trails.
East side
- E1: Shangri-La Trail - Trail begins at the Radar Park trailhead and descends the eastern flanks of Cougar Mountain to the Talus development. Wide and gently sloping, the former logging road parallels the Surprise Creek Trail. The forest has not yet grown again sufficiently to permit this trail to lose its character as a road.
- E2: Surprise Creek Trail - Trail begins at the Shangri-La Trail and provides a more scenic route down to the Issaquah Reservoir. It accesses the Powerline Trail at two points.
- E3: Bear Ridge Trail - Trail begins in a small three-car alcove 0.9 miles south of Newport Way on State Route 900 and forks left. Paralleling West Tibbetts Creek on a narrow ridge high above it, the trail passes a section corner marker and enormous firs before reaching the Fantastic Erratic, a fern covered boulder about the size of a two-car garage deposited here during the ice age by the Canadian glacier. The Trail switchbacks up to an undissected plateau of knee-high ferns dotted with islands of oak, maple, alder, and young fir (The country is so open here a person with a compass or GPS could strike off cross country and easily reach the Clay Pit). After crossing two creeks the trail bends north to intersect the Shangri-La Trail.
- E4: Wilderness Peak Trail - Trail climbs steeply from Shy Bear pass to the highest point on Cougar Mountain, where trees rise at least another 100 feet but block any view. This is the uppermost edge of a large forest of virgin Douglas Firs that drapes the east ridge of the peak almost all the way down to the highway.
- E5: Wilderness Cliffs Trail - Trail begins at Boulder Junction on the Wilderness Creek mainline and ascends to a cliff-top view of Squak Mountain and soon after another view of Mount Rainier. Wilderness Creek is far, far below. The trail mounts to the beautiful forest of second growth Douglas Fir and salal underbrush on the rounded southern bulk of Wilderness Peak, passes a pond called Wilderness "Lake", and attains the summit, where one may leave a message in the register.
- E6: Wilderness Creek Trail - Trail begins at the Wilderness Creek trailhead on State Route 900, about a mile from May Valley Road. With many switchbacks it ascends the creek to Boulders Junction, does a hairpin turn and mounts a ridge on the right bank. A view back down to the tiny people on the bridge below surprises hikers with how high they've come. The trail passes Cougar Mountain Cave formed by talus fallen from the clifftops high above and reaches Shy Bear Pass.
- E7: Powerline Trail - Trail begins along the Surprise Creek trail, reaches a power line right-of-way, and drops straight down toward Goode's Corner, making only one bend into the woods to switchback through a zone of steep rocks. From this trail it is possible to leave the Park Boundaries and explore the northern Precipice.
- E8: No Name Trail - Trail is a relatively short connector between the Shangri-La Trail and Surprise Creek Trail. It links the northern and southern halves of the Precipice Trail.
- E9: Protector Trail - Trail begins along Tibbett's Marsh Trail and runs to an indistinct spur of AA Peak that forms a wall containing the wetland. Originally this ridge was not in the Park, and Harvey Manning feared it would be developed. Now it is deep inside the Park and the trail links to the Shangri-La Trail.
South side
- S1: Far Country Trail - Trail begins on the Indian Trail and gently switchbacks up through a beautiful glade to a clearing called Far Country Lookout, with views toward Renton and Tukwila. Harvey Manning named this area the Far Country because ice-age glaciers had eroded a south-flowing watershed where he expected to find a containing ridge and headwaters on his first exploration. He felt he had somehow crossed into a magical country far from home.
- S2: Shy Bear Trail - Trail begins at Far Country Lookout (indeed it is merely the continuation of the Far Country Trail), crosses a shoulder of Deceiver Ridge and drops to Shy Bear Marsh, which it crosses on a series of boardwalks. At this point a hiker is as far as anyone can get from a trailhead, this is the most remote part of Cougar Mountain. From the swamp the trail ascends to Shy Bear Pass, where a number of trails all come together in a small area.
- S3: Deceiver Trail - Trail forks off from Shy Bear Trail with a steel artifact of the logging days lying nearby. It ascends to the broad summit of Deceiver Ridge and drops to Cabbage Creek, just above Doughty Falls. The trail then switchbacks up to the summit of Long View Peak with an excellent window through the trees south.
- S4: Long View Peak Trail - Trail begins at the summit of Long View Peak and drops to Shy Bear Pass. It is really just a continuation of the Deceiver Trail.
- S5: Ring Road Trail - Trail begins along the Long View Peak Trail and crosses a saddle to reach a dirt road near the summit of Ring Road Peak (which actually lies outside of the park). Soon after this, at a view of Mount Rainier, private property is reached, marking the end of the trail.
Central basins
- C1: Clay Pit Road - An extension of 166th Avenue, this gravel road extends from the gate all the way to the Clay Pit, which is leased by Mutual Materials to obtain raw material for bricks. The company rarely uses the road, so it is effectively just another route for horses and boots. It provides access to a meadow at Nike Park, where Nike anti-aircraft missiles were set up to defend from Soviet bombers in the Cold War. This will eventually become a parking lot and trailhead.
- C2: Red Town Creek Trail - Trail connects the Cave Hole Trail to the Military Road Trail and provides access to the Red Town Creek Dam. Water from the lake which existed here before the dam silted up was used to provide steam for hauling the coal cars out of the mine shafts.
- C3: Cave Hole Trail - Trail begins on the Red Town Trail and provides the main route from the Red Town area to the higher elevations of Cougar Mountain. The former wagon road to the Klondike Dam, it passes some rather large holes which were formed by earth collapsing into coal seams as they were mined.
- C4: Coal Creek Falls Trail - Trail forks off from the Cave Hole Trail and runs more-or-less level south to a 25 foot cataract on Coal Creek which is one of the most popular destinations in the Park, especially during periods of heavy runoff. Thereafter the trail ascends to meet the Quarry Trail.
- C6: Quarry Trail - Trail begins on the Indian Trail near a stone quarry and ascends the ravine of Shy Bear Creek (the old route ascended the ridge between this creek and Coal Creek). It intercepts Fred's Railroad Trail very near the terminus of that trail with the Shy Bear Trail.
- C7: Fred's Railroad Trail - Trail begins at the Clay Pit Road across the street from the Cougar Pass Trail endpoint. It runs along a former railroad bed and therefore has no sharp turns or steep inclines. Many logging structures can be seen along the sides of the trail as it runs south to meet the Shy Bear Trail.
- C8: East Fork Trail - Trail begins on Fred's Railroad Trail and ascends the east branch of Coal Creek all the way to its source at the Blackwater Pond. It passes along the serene waters of Jerry's Duckpond before arriving at the lip of the Clay Pit on a shoulder of Clay Pit Peak.
- C9: Bypass Trail - Trail begins at the intersecton of Fred's Railroad Trail and Clay Pit Road and drops to the Cave Hole Trail. It provides a way to transit the area without using the road.
- C10: Mine Shaft Trail - Trail begins at Jerry's Duckpond and runs to a large, deep mineshaft covered with a grid of rebar. It is possible to safely stand on this grate over the middle of the hole. The shaft is slightly inclined and actually goes below sea level. After the mine shaft the trail intersects the road.
West side
- W1: Wildside Trail - Trail begins at the Rainbow Town Trail and runs along the western side of the valley of Coal Creek. Ironically, development has pressed close to this trail at some points and reduced its wild character. After crossing Marshall's Hill trail it skirts Long Marsh to an intersection with the Deleo Wall Trail.
- W2: Red Town Trail - Trail begins at the Red Town trailhead and runs along the eastern side of the valley of Coal Creek to the Ballpark Meadow restoration project.
- W3: Rainbow Town Trail - Trail begins along the Red Town Trail and passes the Ford Slope coal mining exhibit, which includes pictures of the Red Town area at the height of the coal-mining times. The visitor is struck by how thoroughly nature has reclaimed the area.
- W4: Steam Hoist Trail - Trail begins along the Wildside Trail and after crossing the creek loops back to the Rainbow Town Trail, touring many artifacts of the coal-mining days, including an intact concrete dam and the massive concrete foundation for the old steam hoist, which would almost be mistaken for a natural feature but for all the right angles.
- W5: China Creek Trail - Trail begins at the Red Town trailhead and runs to the edge of the Park, providing access to the Rainbow Town Trail. In the days before the landfill became a golf course this trail provided access to the network of trails in the saddle between Marshall's Hill and Mt. Trashmore.
- W6: Marshall's Hill Trail - Trail begins on the Wildside Trail and ascends to a view of the Coal Creek basin with the rest of Cougar Mountain looming behind it. It continues on to the Deleo Wall Trail and a water tower access road which descends to a neighborhood cul-de-sac that can serve as a trailhead for the western trail system.
- W7: Indian Trail - Trail begins at a cul-de-sac on 171st Avenue where King County owns two vacant lots to ensure access. This is believed to be part of the route used by the Duwamish tribe and others to go between Coal Creek and May Creek. It provides access to Far Country Falls and terminates at the Ballfield.
- W9: Deleo Wall Trail - Trail begins along the Indian Trail and passes an unnamed wetland before ascending steadily to the top of Deleo Wall, a 600 foot cliff looking out over May Valley to Mount Rainier. From the viewpoint a series of well-constructed switchbacks ascends to the summit of Marshall's Hill, where Picture Buttress looks down to a forest glade. The trail intersects a water tower access road and the Marshall's Hill Trail, with a remarkable view of downtown Seattle.
- W10: Bagley Seam Trail - Trail begins at Red Town trailhead and descends a gully which has collapsed into a formerly coal-bearing seam before linking to the Red Town Trail.
Unofficial Trails
With the aim of leaving a section of the park totally wild for the peace of mind of cougars and bears and other wildlife, King County Parks has withdrawn official recognition from some of the trails described below, and the Issaquah Alps Trails Club no longer performs trail maintenance, nor even describes the trails in new editions of guidebooks. But using the trails is not expressly forbidden. In fact, letting such a large portion of the park go fallow enhances its value as an urban wildland. Some individuals have even adopted the trails and maintain them in their interior. Additionally, there is a system of trails between the "offical" ones in the higher elevations and the developed properties below that lace a belt of very steep terrain called the Precipice. Most of this system lies on private property, but the propensity of the land to slide when it gets wet makes it quite safe from ever being developed.
- Blackwater Trail: - Trail begins on the "Penultimate Plateau" just a few feet below the summit of thge highest point on Cougar Mountain and strikes north, dropping to the saddle between Wilderness Peak and Claypit Peak in a forest of rather large Douglas Firs (the trail becomes rather brushy at times but the route is flagged with orange and black plastic strips). It reaches the East Fork Trail at Blackwater Pond, which is one source of Coal Creek. Under the old system it was designated trail E3. When the trail was abandoned by King County Parks E3 was reassigned to the Bear Ridge Trail.
- Gorgeous Gorges: - Trail begins at the Summerhill trailhead off Newport Way NW and signed "Ralph's Hi Line" it proceeds along the Precipice between AA Gorge and Kline Road. The route is incised by an unnamed gulch just before a high rocky outcrop (with an enormous view) negotiated by a rope. Following in succession are Jackstraw Gulch, Nurselog Gulch, Schneider Creek Gorge, Stormwater Creek Gorge, and Hairpin Gulch.
- Lower West Tibbetts Creek Trail: - Trail begins at the three-car parking area for the Bear Ridge Trail (striking right instead of left) and follows the intricate and beautiful creek up to an intersection with the West Tibbetts Creek Connector. The well-maintained route is marred by the intrusion of the Talus development at one point.
- Newcastle-Queen Mine Trail: - Trail begins at a gate just a bit south of the Bear Ridge/West Tibbetts Creek trailhead. Designated E2 on the old system, the Surprise Creek Trail now bears that number. A woods road, Newcastle-Queen ascends to the area of an old coal mine with an air vent and other relics still evident. The road continues up through the airy forest on the eastern flank of Claypit Peak. An attempt to erase the route by planting trees in the middle of the road has failed, the trees did not flourish. After crossing the intersection with the South Precipice Trail it becomes very steep and deeply rutted, and seems to end at a cul-de-sac. However, to the northeast a hidden connector trail switchbacks down to the South Precipice Trail, and to the west the mine road continues as an excellent trail rising gently through salmonberries all the way to the Clay Pit.
- South Precipice: - Trail begins in a grove hidden behind the low ridge immediately south of the Fantastic Erratic (a little bushwhacking is required to begin), and steeply ascends knife-sharp Elegant Ridge to a beautiful area of deeply etched sandstone ridges and gulches that come one after the other until the trail straightens out and intersects the Newcastle-Queen Mine road. However, the Issaquah Alps Trails Club does not maintain this trail, so there are many blown-down trees one must either crawl under or over, which makes for slow going.
- Upper West Tibbetts Creek Trail: - Trail begins along the Tibbetts Marsh Trail, where a sign with an arrow stands right in the middle of the intersection (no attempt to hide the endpoint with debris was made). The trail descends gently along a shallow ravine of the creek until it meets the Bear Ridge Trail. Some blown-down trees mar the route of this unmaintained trail.
- West Tibbetts Creek Connector: - Trail begins east of the Fantastic Erratic allowing a transfer from the Bear Ridge Trail north to West Tibbetts Creek where it emerges from its canyon and tumbles over sandstone, sculpting potholes. As a continuation of the South Precipice Trail, it ascends some poorly-constructed switchbacks (that are difficult to manage in wet weather) through the wildest section of West Tibbetts Creek and after passing a nurse log and an excellent view to the east it intersects the upper portion of the Bear Ridge Trail.

my oh-so-strong belief that journalism and writing does not adhere to any one form of publication, that writing is not complete industry-dependent, and that there is a future for all of us who fancy ourselves writers:
Cary Tennis eloquently slaps us into reality. Writing is writing. And if it were easy, then everyone would do it. Fuck, some of the most famous poets weren't even writers by profession (wallace stevens, or william carlos williams, for example).
I guess what "writing what you know" in the the age of information — or whatever it will be called in the next decades — is really about "writing what you want to write about." It's easy to know, but it's not so easy to keep writing about it.
