Same as most areas west of Loop 610, the land where Briar Meadow sits was previously a farm. Development of the area began in the 1950s with an eclectic range of property types that include ranch-style and traditional homes, single-family homes to luxury condominiums. The area is a blend of suburban residences and urban commercial districts. Residents represent a diverse group of people reflecting Houston's increasingly dynamic and exciting demographics.
Many homeowners are remodeling the original 1950s style homes and replacing them with new houses, though some have been torn down in favor of two-story custom-built homes.

Two Women Escape From Prison Only To Get Busted…In An 'Escape Room'
And yes, this is all true.
Let's all talk about two inmates who successfully escaped from an Edmonton, Canada prison, where they were locked up in. And yet, only one day later they were caught. But it's not that they were caught that's the story, it is where they were caught that has people scratching their head.
Kelsie Laine Marie Mast, 23, and 20-year-old Samantha Faye Toope were able to hop the fence at the Edmonton Institution for Women, and instead of heading towards freedom, the female outlaws decided it would be a good idea to head towards SideQuests Adventures and partake in the extremely popular escape rooms. That's right, from one cell to another.
Here's what Rebecca Liaw, the co-owner of SideQuests, had to say to Global News. "
"It sort of was funny to think that they weren't going to escape from an escape room. Definitely not as challenging here as, I assume, escaping from jail would be."
Liaw adds that the the pair arrived and quickly started asking questions about the escape room:
"They continued the stream of typical questions. They were extremely cool about it. They kept up a regular conversation, asking completely typical questions that we do get on a daily basis. Nothing out of the ordinary."
Well it wasn't long before police showed up. Take a look at the video below.
I hope that one day of freedom was worth it, ladies.
And if you're curious, Toope is serving two years for robbery and other charges, and Mast is serving just under three years for drug trafficking and other crimes, according to the CBC, who also adds that both women are violent offenders.
Just a pair of classy broads.

April 22 (UPI) -- Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett signed his franchise tag tender, the team announced Monday.
If the Falcons and the defensive tackle can't reach a long-term extension, Jarrett will play the upcoming season on a one-year deal worth about $15.2 million. The franchise has until the July 15 deadline to sign Jarrett to a multiyear contract.
"As we have said since the end of the season, getting a deal done with Grady is our priority," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said in March. "Applying the franchise tag to him does not change that in any way. Our aim is for Grady to be an integral part of our plan for many years to come and this allows us to extend our negotiating window."
The Falcons originally placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jarrett in March. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year began March 13. By applying the tag, it assured that the standout defensive lineman wouldn't enter free agency despite the absence of a long-term agreement.
Jarrett has been one of the NFL's most productive defensive tackles since becoming a starter in Atlanta during the 2016 season. The Clemson product had career highs in sacks (six), quarterback hits (16) and forced fumbles (three) last season.
Jarrett has increased his sack total in each of his first four seasons in the league. He has recorded 179 total tackles, 14 sacks, 40 quarterback hits and 31 tackles for loss. He tied a Super Bowl record with three sacks against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

Perhaps controversial title, but bear with me.
The prompt for this post comes from this excellent blog post, combined with my marking of some year 9 half term tests. They are the lowest-ranked set who are currently doing the Higher syllabus.
They nearly all failed to pick up any marks on the following 5 mark estimation problems:
I taught lessons on rounding, estimation of multi step calculations that didn't involve roots, estimating square roots; and some BIDMAS revision. Students did well during all these topics. I assumed that would be enough. It was not – with the sole exception of the highest attainer in the class, who was quick enough to put it all together.
If you haven't already, read that excellent blog post I mentioned above. It's exactly the same lesson. Without teaching precisely how to address such problems,
you have two kinds of pupil – the pupils who get it and the pupils who don't. The pupils who get it feel clever; the pupils who don't feel stupid. This is hugely damaging. It lulls the pupils who get it into a false sense of security ("I got it on my own because I'm smart") and reinforces to the pupils who don't get it that they never will ("I don't get it because I'm stupid").
Except, in my case, it's a more serious application: my students didn't perform as well as they or I hoped; they will be discouraged and demotivated; their relationship of maths will sour slightly.
Teach to the darn test. Or, in other words:
If we give the kids who don't get it the algorithm, we give them the key to success. If we give the kids who do get it the algorithm, they get to practise and make it automatic. Tell the kids everything they need to know, and then give them lots of opportunities to practise. Only then will everybody be able to 'solve the cube'.

Okay recently the television show Supernatural announced that season 15 will be their last year and a lot of fans are left reeling from the news. Now I don't know if it was the announcement or just how my brain works but I recently had a dream about the show. The dream was so much fun that I had to share.
In my dream I was watching the show but all the actors had been replaced with dogs and I had so much fun with it that I thought I'd share who I thought would be played by which breed.
Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) – Great Dane. Looks big and fierce but is really a lap dog.
Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) – Doberman Pinscher. Fierce and loyal. Only cuddly on his terms to his people.
Castiel (Misha Collins) – Black Labrador Retriever. Everybody's friend and so willing to try whatever his people think is a good idea.
Crowley (Mark Sheppard) – Pit Bull. Looks fierce and everyone's afraid of him but he's really a big love bug.
John Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan/Matthew Joseph Cohen) – Mutt. One of those dogs that has a little bit of everything making them the perfect companion.
Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith/Amy Jaclyn Gumenick) – Cocker Spaniel. Lots of energy, loves to have adventures.
Lucifer (Mark Pelligrino) – Siamese cat.
God/Chuck Shurly (Rob Benedict) – Pug. Everyone loves him but no one is really sure what he does.
Gabriel/Loki (Richard Speight Jr.) – Siberian Husky. Into everything and takes a lot of work but has so much personality.
Meg Masters (Rachel Miner) – Greyhound. Beautiful, sleek, intelligent.
Ruby (Genevieve Padalecki/Katie Cassidy) – Basenji. A hunter by nature but looks so sweet and innocent.
There's so many that I've missed that I'll probably think of later. If you have any ideas, let me know in the comments.

A recent analysis by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) highlighted Bogotá and its foreign investment promotion agency as a case study in the development of projects backed with foreign capital to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The case study focused on the remodeling of the old El Campín Covered Coliseum, now known as the Movistar Arena. UNCTAD highlighted the fact that the remodeling project, executed through a Public-Private Partnership, is expected to create over 400 skilled jobs.
"The arena has special access and services for people with disabilities, such as dedicated entrances, ramps, and lifts for wheelchairs." The remodeling resulted in four five-on-five soccer fields, a jogging track, a skateboarding park, and a cycling path, as well as a children's playground and an area for art exhibitions. According to the document, "the new arena, which has 4.5G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) mobile network technology, is the most modern concert and event venue in Latin America."
The UNCTAD document also drew attention to the fact that Invest in Bogota, the capital's investment promotion agency, coordinated the institutional and commercial agendas of the public and private entities involved in creative industries, entertainment, and infrastructure, which facilitated the partnerships necessary to develop the project.

- Mentor(s)
- Estimated workload
- 3 months
- Details
A Wiki manages document and XWiki has the powerfull ability to manager semi-structured documents thanks to the object model.
When users want to create a new document we want to give them the ability to create a new document from a template. This template can be a pure wiki content document but can also be a structured document using an XWiki Class. The create from template feature alreay exists in the xwiki core.
What we want the SOC project to build is a Template Manager allowing to select a page from the wiki and make it a template. Then we want the create buttons to open a UI allowing to choose a template. Templates should be organized by tags.
If the student is efficient enough the next step would be to expose the XWiki Class system for non programmers allowing to create a simple structured document with simple fields (text, textarea, date, list) from the simplest UI possible (current the XWiki Class definition has too many options for basic users) and generate the display script of this document type automatically.
The result of this project should be well integrated in the XWiki UI.

One Minister who is Doing a Good Job.....
Most readers will have the impression that I usually criticise the government but let me give some praise where it is due.
The quick action by the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister to revoke the price increase of rice is most welcomed. Everyone eats rice and the unwarranted price hikes would have angered everyone.
Action was needed and a decision was made without having to involve the whole Cabinet. It is strange that the monopolistic company decided to raise prices without a proper proposal.
Perhaps the market would be better served if one or two other companies were also allowed to import rice. That would provide a good check and balance against profiteering.

I stopped at Forest Hill Nature Area again today a took a walk on the north side of the property. I found lots of interesting things, including several firsts for the year, but the best sight of the day was something that I saw on the way home.
I found a heron rookery just down the road - about 1.5 miles south of Forest Hill. The rookery is visible from both Rich Road and Jefferson Road.
When I approached from the north I could see several Great Blue Herons (Ardea herodias) circling around the rookery. Four of those herons landed in a field immediately to the west of the rookery.
Of the four herons, I was able to get three of them in a photograph.

After Oasis ended in 2009, Liam Gallagher—along with Oasis members Andy Bell and Gem Archer—opted to continue on as the band Beady Eye, releasing a pair of albums under the moniker. After five years together, that band has now come to an end.
Beady Eye's dissolution was announced via a pair of tweets from Gallagher and Bell, who offered zero explanation as to why it was over.
The speculation sweeping the Internet is that Beady Eye's demise is tied to an Oasis reunion—something that Gallagher has seemingly been trying to will into existence, both by having Beady Eye play Oasis songs in concert and tweeting the band's name, an act that incited all kinds of rumors as well. An Oasis reunion is something that Noel Gallagher has continually rebuked, and he was happy to do it all over again in the wake of Beady Eye's dissolution, saying it would be a "backwards step." Still, even with Noel remaining staunchly anti-reunion, those rumors will continue to swirl—and as the brothers Gallagher continue to bicker about their past, fans will continue to long for them to do so onstage again, as opposed to just in the press.

After hours of sustained requests from your server to one of ours, our server response has activated,, and has responded to YOUR servers REQUEST by telling it to download the patch from microsoft... if you are reading this, there is a good chance it was sucessful, and you are no longer suseptable to Code red and its variants. however, this does not exclude the possibility that sometime in the period that you were infected, your server did not have "back doors" installed. you should look into this and take the necessary steps. I think thats a nice solution, and it makes it clear that the other server requested the info, and that the patch was the response...(its just like manually downloading stuff from the web, if you download a dodgy program and install it, you can't blame the guy who wrote it legally because he didn't force you to install it.... you requested the download..... see what I mean? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: snort-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:snort-users-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Jason Withrow Sent: Tuesday, 18 September 2001 8:33 AM To: 'Jason Withrow'; 'Greg Wright' Cc: snort-users at lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Snort-users] Code Red attacks I think we should write that.

Isn't it possibly a little convoluted in that the exploited system that you are 'putting' data on is actually requesting *something* from your server initially. The action of 'putting data' is the serving of a request initiated by the infected system. If you were to put data on your web server system that stops CodeRed, and an affected box attempted to scan for and pass a request to your server, then the data that it passes back was not sent directly, but sent in response to a request.

Holistic Nutrition *Online Course*
January 15 at 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 9:00 am on Wednesday, repeating until April 15, 2020
You are what you eat. Whether looked at from a traditional Eastern point of view or that of conventional Western thought, it is widely recognized that the food you eat plays an important role in the self-care puzzle. This course offers an overview of nutrients as the building blocks of physical health, and takes a critical look at what's "good" and what's "bad" according to current standards. Different diets will be discussed to provide an understanding of the mainstream guidelines and a framework from which to better evaluate food choices. The digestive tract will be reviewed in terms of how it works (physiologically & symbolically) and the far-reaching impact of what happens to it under stress. This course is as suitable for the student of natural therapies as for anyone curious about how food and their body fit together.
Duration: 36 credits
Cost: $250

It's not a big secret that many sales people dislike (with a passion?) doing admin. It's outsid...
Online advertising is a great way of exposing your website to potential customers.
Google's AdWords (Online Advertising) system operates as an inorganic counterpart to organic search rankings - where users bid on certain keywords or keyword phrases for their website to show up either above or along the right side of the normal search results.
When launching a new website or brand, online advertising can provide a much-needed boost to your website traffic while you wait for your SEO campaigns to kick into gear.
Advertising through AdWords also gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility when it comes to your advertising budget, target audience and advert visibility. For example, an online shop can transact 24 hours a day, whereas a service business may be more interested in driving visitors to phone, so the campaigns will be set to match your operating hours.
The key to a successful online advertising campaign is careful micromanagement of bid amounts on keywords and A/B testing of different adverts and advert groups. We are able to manage this process for you - from creating the initial campaigns to optimising bid amounts to provide you with the best placement for your advert in search results.
Online advertising works best for specific products or services rather than the business as a whole, since many companies are competing for the same keywords and keyword phrases. Niche marketing is the way to go.
Complementary Services
Glyvolution offer a range of different services to increase your website traffic and boost online conversions and sales. Some of our services complement each other rather well. Online Advertising, for example, works quite well when it's supported with:
- Search Engine Optimisation - A robust SEO campaign ensures an acceptable level of keywords within the content, while retaining human-readability. The more relevant to the content the advert is, the lower your bid amounts will have to be in order to compete with other, similar adverts vying for position.

Book: Talon (Talon #1)
Author: Julie Kagawa
Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.
Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.
Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.
My thoughts:
I sat down to write this review almost a week and two posts ago. That should give you an idea of just how difficult I found it to review this book.I may dislike writing negative reviews but I really, really hate writing disappointed reviews.
It's hard to believe that this book is written by the same author who wrote the Iron King series and the Blood of Eden series. They were so good and this is so…not. At the same time, I can see that Ms. Kagawa tried to copy some of the elements which made the above series so compelling into this one. The keyword here is tried.
She tried taking the manipulative and violent nature of the fae and putting it into the dragons. And though the punishments in the book were certainly draconic in nature, the character themselves did not feel like dragons; they felt more human than anything else- too kind, to naive, too noble and too boring.
She attempted to duplicate the air of secrecy, double-crossing and back-stabbing that had us flipping the pages as fast as was as physically possible in the Blood of Eden but here too she failed. Can I just say, I saw it all coming from miles away?
The characters didn't dazzle me or delight me either. You know they've been written badly when you feel completely detached even after 413 pages of reading. Part of it was the main character's fault. She's one of those annoying characters who aren't really that special but has everyone tripping over their feet trying to kiss hers. Her twin brother (though promising in the beginning) barely made an appearance at all. To excuse his lack of presence, we were constantly told something like He went water-skiing with the guys'. And their relationship? Total fail. Ember constantly tells us she loves her brother, but honestly I can't really see the love. She forgets about him all the time, constantly whines at him and resents him for the most pointless of reasons. Having a twin was more of a plot device than anything else. The secondary characters were just as bad. They appeared sporadically to be boy-crazy, make bad boy-decisions, push Ember at one of the boys and give her dating advice. They were totally inter-changeable and one dimensional.
The romance? Where do I start with this one. First of all, it's a love triangle. I don't get why YA authors think we like love triangles. We don't. But we can tolerate them if the rest of the book is good enough. Or even if the love interests are interesting and different enough (take Puck and Ash from her Iron Fey series, for example). If it's not already pretty obvious, the rest of the book wasn't good enough.
There are two love interests- the dragon and the dragon-slayer <cough, cough Firelight by Sophie Jordan cough, cough>. In both cases, it's a case of 'forbidden-love' and star-crossed lovers. In the dragon case, the dragon is a rebel and an outlaw. In the dragon-slayer case… hello? dragon- SLAYER here. But other than these two things, the love interests are pretty inter-changeable. Both of them are emotionally-distant and stricken with a serious case of insta-love. Both of them are non-human (I'm of the opinion that the dragon-slayer is a robot; he certainly acts like one). Both of them are boring. Blah, blah, blah.
If this book was more about dragons and less about the romance, it could have been salvageable. But it's not. I still have a hard time believing the book was about dragons and not about humans occasionally turned into lizards with wings. Where was the treasure-hording? Where was the fiery and angry nature? Where was the freaking worldbuilding?
The blurb looks really interesting but don't be taken in by it. There's no moral dilemma or a struggle to understand different species. There's only cheap, bland romance between robotic, self-obsessed characters who come with pre-written scripts.
This book suffered a massive case of blandness. It was extremely formulaic and seemed like it didn't even try to get much originality in. There was no plot. No interesting characters. No hot romance. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Trust me, you won't miss anything if you don't read the book.
My Ratings:
Cover: 2/5
Plot: 1/5 (Plot? What plot?)
Characters: 1/5
Romance: 1/5 (I really want to give this thing a zero)
Plotholes: 1/5
Ending: 2/5
Overall Rating: 1.25/ 5
Will I read the next book: No way. Dragons will turn generous and caring before I read the next book in the series again. And, no I don't mean the so-called dragons in this book.
Book like this: Firelight by Sophie Jordan (more draconian dragons, an actual plot ,better sibling relationships, hotter love interests, -go read that instead)

Buying your first home is anything but easy. There are so many things to consider like whether the area has good schools, how much you qualify for and getting the best value for your hard earned money. And more often than not, those things don't align.
So you've found a home in a great area and while the home itself isn't bad, it's not modern as you envisioned it to be when you first embarked on this journey. You have two options. One, you could look for a home in a different area or, two, you could renovate it. Home renovations allow you to have the house you've always dreamed of in the area you love.
Home Renovations Cost Less than You Think
When it comes to purchasing a home, it's all about getting value for money. How you calculate value is up to you. Having your dream home in a bad area might be ok in the interim but in the long run, you might struggle to sell it and even make a loss if the area downgrades even further. If you choose a good location and a home with potential, you'll create a win-win situation. You can always renovate your new home to your exact specifications. The location of your home is the most important part of home ownership.
Home renovations don't have to break the bank. At Bates SA, we are proud of the fact that we offer reliable and affordable home renovations to all our customers in Cape Town. When you hire a professional like ourselves, you can have peace of mind that the project will be managed properly and be completed in a timely manner.
Don't settle for a home you don't love. You'll be spending a lot of time there. Bates SA can help you get the home you want right now. Give us a call for a free quote today.

In order to be a sniper, one must possess patience, discipline, and a little bit of luck. Here's the top 5 snipers to ever stalk the Earth.
Roza was a young Russian female sniper during World War 2. She was credited with 59 confirmed kills, and nicknamed the unseen terror of East Prussia. She enlisted shortly after the death of her brother in a German bombing campaign. She was killed in action during the East Prussian Offensive shielding an artillery officer from shrapnel.
Billy Dixon is one of only eight civilians to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor. During the Second Battle of Adobe Walls he allegedly fired a one mile shot with a borrowed buffalo rifle to hit a Native American warrior that was standing right next to the tribes chief. This incredible shot broke a siege that put 29 individuals against between 700, and 1200 Native Americans.
Craig Harrison is the current world record holder for the longest kill shot. His record currently sits at 2,475m and the shots took six seconds to hit their target. Other snipers have tried to reproduce his shot under controlled circumstances without success.
Hathcock was a US Marine Sniper during the Vietnam war. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest snipers to ever stalk the Earth. In one of his many encounters with the enemy, it is storied that he shot an enemy sniper in the eye, by putting a round through the enemies scope. He helped found the United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper school, which is considered the best scout sniper school on Earth.
Simo was a Finnish sniper during the Winter War with Russia. The Russians gave him the nickname 'White Death', or 'White Ghost' because he reportedly killed 505 Russian soldiers while hiding in the snow. All 505 of his confirmed kills happened in under 100 days, at a time where there was very few hours in the day.
Oh, and if you're trying to find that sniper. He's right here.

Want to fix Washington? Vote against all the Republicans [Opinion]
"I am sick and tired of this administration. I'm sick and tired of what's going on. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I hope you are, too."
- Joe Biden
I'm sick and tired too.
I'm sick and tired of a president who pretends that a caravan of impoverished refugees is an "invasion" by "unknown Middle Easterners" and "bad thugs" - and whose followers on Fox News pretend that the refugees are bringing leprosy and smallpox to the United States. (Smallpox was eliminated about40 years ago.)
I'm sick and tired of a president who misuses his office to demagogue on immigration - by sending 5,200 unnecessary troops to the border and by threatening to rescind by executive order the 14th Amendment guarantee of citizenship to anyone born in the United States.
I'm sick and tired of a president who is so self-absorbed that he thinks he is the real victim of mail-bomb attacks on his political opponents - and who, after visiting Pittsburgh despite being asked by local leaders to stay away, tweeted about how he was treated, not about the victims of the synagogue massacre.
I'm sick and tired of a president who cheers a congressman for his physical assault of a reporter, calls the press the "enemy of the people" and won't stop or apologize even after bombs were sent to CNN in the mail.
I'm sick and tired of a president who employs the language of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish financier George Soros and "globalists," and won't apologize or retract even after what is believed to be the worst attack on Jews in U.S. history.
I'm sick and tired of a president who won't stop engaging in crazed partisanship, denouncing Democrats as "evil," "un-American" and "treasonous" subversives who are in league with criminals.
I'm sick and tired of a president who cares so little about right-wing terrorism that, on the very day of the synagogue shooting, he proceeded with a campaign rally, telling his supporters, "Let's have a good time."
I'm sick and tired of a president who presides over one of the most unethical administrationsin U.S. history - with three Cabinet members resigning for reported ethical infractions and the secretary of the interior the subject of at least18 federal investigations.
I'm sick and tired of a president who flouts norms of accountability by refusing to release his tax returns or place his business holdings in a blind trust.
I'm sick and tired of a president who lies outrageously and incessantly -an average of eight times a day - claiming recently that there are riots in California and that a bill that passed the Senate by 98-1 had "very little Democrat support."
I'm sick and tired of a president who can't be bothered to work hard and instead prefers to spend his time watching Fox News and acting like a Twitter troll.
And I'm sick and tired of Republicans who go along with Trump - defending, abetting and imitating his egregious excesses.
I'm sick and tired of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., acting like a caddie for the man he once denounced as a "kook" - just this week, Graham endorsed Trump's call for rescinding "birthright citizenship," a kooky idea if ever there was one.
I'm sick and tired of House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who got his start in politics as a protege of the "bleeding-heart conservative" Jack Kemp, refusing to call out Trump's race-baiting.
I'm sick and tired of Republicans who once complained about the debt adding $113 billion to the federal debt just in fiscal year 2018.
I'm sick and tired of Republicans who once championed free trade refusing to stop Trump as he launches trade wars with all of our major trade partners.
I'm sick and tired of Republicans who not only refuse to investigate Trump's alleged ethical violations but who also help him to obstruct justice by maligning the FBI, the special counsel and the Justice Department.
Most of all, I'm sick and tired of Republicans who feel that Trump's blatant bigotry gives them license to do the same - with Rep. Pete Olson, R-Tex., denouncing his opponent as an "Indo-American carpetbagger," Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis warning voters not to "monkey this up" by electing his African American opponent, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., labeling his "Palestinian-Mexican" opponent a "security risk" who is "working to infiltrate Congress," and Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, accusing his opponent, who is of Indian-Tibetan heritage, of "selling out Americans" because he once worked at a law firm that settled terrorism-related cases against Libya.
If you're sick and tired too, here is what you can do. Vote for Democrats on Tuesday. For every office. Regardless of who they are. And I say that as a former Republican. Some Republicans in suburban districts may claim they aren't for Trump. Don't believe them. Whatever their private qualms, no Republicans have consistently held Trump to account. They are too scared that doing so will hurt their chances of reelection. If you're as sick and tired as I am of being sick and tired about what's going on, vote against all Republicans. Every single one. That's the only message they will understand.

The Abstract
In this exhibit, Ritz Marie declares her state of personal vulnerability. Each photograph serves as a personal letter to the viewer. A show that was more than ten years in the making reveals growth in many aspects of her individuality and her artistry. It was during her conscious state of imaginative contemplations that all her work was transformed into reality. The photographs are intertwined with paintings from various artists whose work was drawn to her soul. The photos represent her reality while the paintings represent the interconnectedness of her imagination and inner world to others.
Taken as a whole, the show is a story about self-discovery, with a study in beauty, melancholy, nostalgia, growing pains and subtle joy from within – the kind of joy that illuminates the soul, but is not necessarily reflected through a smile. Additionally, the current showcase of moments, reflect the being of her soul, injected with a sense of connectedness and wonder with others where personal relationships lay.
Image Title: "Dear You,
Would you still love me with the same exuberance if I revealed all my broken pieces?"
Sharing with you some beauty, from pain.
Left Image Title: "Dearest True Self,
I dare you to have vision."
Right Image Title: "Dearest True Self,
I dare you to speak only of truth that inspires."
Left Image Title: "Dearest Sound Guide,
Your melody keeps me sane during the darkest mornings."
Right Image Title: "Dearest Sound Guide,
Your music keeps me company during frightful circumstances."
Excerpt from an interview with Julia Arenas for ABS-CBN:
Julia: "What spurred your work for your exhibit "Lucid Dreaming" and what was your approach or concept behind the process of graphically treating photos you took?"
Ritz: "It was spurred by the need to communicate my inner world and was actually quite a therapeutic process. I wanted to tell a tale of a person going through phases in life. When you view the exhibit as a whole, you might be able to tell that there are phases of trials, madness, solitude, healing, acceptance, and more. I wanted to create a relatable show wherein the viewer sees fragments of themselves when they see the art and read the titles."
Image Title: "Dear Unlocked Skies,
Continue revealing unimaginable treasures."
To-date, the "Lucid Dreaming" collection has been invited to exhibit four times:
- ASPACE Greenbelt, Makati City, Philippines – April 2017
- XX:XX, Makati City, Philippines – March 2018
- Pineapple Lab, Makati City, Philippines – May 2018
- Magatama Gallery, Osaka, Japan – December 2018
Left Image Title: "Dear Unseen Wonders,
Awaken in me the realization of your beauty."
Right Image Title: "To the Heart on my Sleeve,
Fret not, for you are loved in marvelously unimaginable ways."

Nearly two months after the tragic February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, the debate over the proliferation of guns in the U.S. continues to rage. But while mass-casualty events grab the headlines, individual incidents of gun violence, many of which attract little attention, result in fatality figures that are just as shocking. A disturbing example: Since last July, the same number of teenagers have been shot to death in Colorado as were slain at Stoneman Douglas.
Our source for this information is GunMemorial.org, whose Colorado page we recently highlighted in this space. The website creates a virtual place to mourn for family, friends and acquaintances of people killed by guns either at the hands of others or themselves. As site founder Steve Tarzia told us, "Every story is different, and there are definitely people on our pages who would have died whether they had a gun or not. And there are also many cases where guns save lives. But there are many more cases where they cost them."
Fourteen teenagers were murdered at Parkland, out of seventeen victims total. In Colorado, that same number of teens has been killed since July 29, 2017, when eighteen-year-old Thomas Gwardyak was lost to gun violence in Penrose, a small community southwest of Colorado Springs.
Teen gunshot deaths represent just over 10 percent of the total gun-violence victims over that span. Through March 30, when twins Amanda and Sara Eldritch took their own lives near the Royal Gorge, 116 Coloradans died by gun. That total includes two preteens: Stephie Hamula, ten, was fatally shot on August 14, 2017, and Branden Patten, nine, died of his injuries on March 2 in Arboles, a town not far from Durango along the Colorado-New Mexico border.
Continue to see each of the fourteen Colorado victims, with links to additional information at GunMemorial.org. Many were innocent victims. Some were not. But the instrument that caused their death was the same.

Junior 5 a side netball league
Barnes Rocks Lane is the original venue for Friday Night 5s, hosting the first football league game in 1995. Understanding the need to offer a netball version for keen junior players, Rocks Lane launched Friday Night 5s Netball in 2013.
Now with nearly 50 teams playing every week it has become a popular weekly fixture for the local South West London community.
Built on Friendship, Fair Play and Fun – our Friday evening junior 5-a-side leagues take place at the Rocks Lane Multi Sports Centre, which features a Café, Children's Playground and Changing Rooms.
From the moment the first whistle blows at 4pm, the atmosphere of fun and camaraderie is palpable amongst the junior teams, with matches played over 4 courts it's an exciting weekly social occasion for parents and players alike.
The The Summer term starts on 24th April 2020 and runs for 12 weeks through to the 17th July. There are no matches on Friday 8th and 29th May.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to sign up now
Rocks Ln,
We often hear from parents and children that Friday Night 5s Netball is a very different experience to what they might encounter in a typical junior league. Friendship, Fair Play and Fun are the values of Friday Night 5s netball because they are so important to those who takes part.
The five-a-side format, based around Friendship of players of a similar age, helps create this atmosphere. Friends come together to design, manage and play in a team that is truly theirs: choosing their own team name, designing their team badge and, if they wish, having their own team strip too.
Our Match Rules and Code of Conduct for Players, Parents and Coaches are there to champion Fair Play in the spirit of the sport and ensure Fun for all – win, lose or draw. Umpires assess all matches for Fair Play and a Fair Play Award is given at the end of every week.
Friday Night 5s Netball started off Friday Night Fives in Barnes in 2013. Today we regularly attract almost 140 teams in total every Friday evening across our West London locations. It's an incredible buzz.
The league officially kicks off at 4pm every week with the whistle blowing for our youngest year 3 age group from 4pm. Matches last roughly 40 minutes and our experienced team of umpires and coaches ensure everything runs smoothly whatever the weather!
Friday Night 5s netball teams of all ages that are keen to progress their abilities can work with one of the coaches we have available at Friday Night 5s Barnes.
We run private and open netball coaching classes throughout the week for school year 3 and upwards across all our Rocks Lane venues. A team looking to improve their skills and tactics can have a private coaching class during the week and put the new skills they have learnt into action during their Friday Night 5s match at Barnes, with the same coach providing in-game guidance and advice, as part of our Match Day Manager service. It's a fantastic way to learn and try out new skills! To find out more about coaching please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

I like games like this. When I see javascript:void(0)"Johan Santana v. Mike Burns" I mentally chalk that game up as a loss. Winning said game is extra fun. Now I feel like I can credit this win against some future loss where the matchup is hugely in our favor.
We have a day game today, which means we'll have a day game open thread 'round noon. Assuming you're stuck in the office like I am and not enjoying an extended holiday weekend, it should be fun.

Dear Hannah,
I heard that there are different kinds of anesthesia available for when I have my abortion. Could you explain? Thanks, Tricia L.
Sure, Tricia–thanks for the question! If you get an abortion, you will always receive a local anesthesia. This will be injected into the cervix and will alleviate the pain in that area, but you will most likely have cramping during the abortion. You will be able to eat before the procedure, be completely awake during it, and drive home without assistance.
In addition to the local anesthesia, you may decide to have conscious sedation. This will be delivered through an IV and will make you drowsy and nearly pain free. You probably will be instructed not to eat before the abortion and will need someone to drive you home afterwards. Conscious sedation is more expensive than local anesthesia alone.
Also, you can have general anesthesia done by a licensed anesthetist for a higher price. You will be completely unconscious and will not remember any of the procedure. Like the conscious sedation, you will need a ride home because you will not be able to drive right away.
Because of the nature of the procedure, many women are too anxious to stay calm during their abortion. You can be given medication to temporarily relieve some of the anxiety and to help keep you relaxed.
Of course, these methods of pain relief only cover the physical pain of the short procedure. Keep in mind that no pain reliever can fully alleviate any potential emotional pain and/or grief which may accompany an abortion.

Surfing The Desert
After the 2h morning boat trip in Islas Ballestas, Golnaz & I took the bus to Ica (1h15-35s), a small city in the desert of the Pisco province, 3-4 hours south of Lima. The concrete houses, dirt roads, graffiti painted walls, street vendors,… reminded me a lot to cities in India. The delicious & famous Peruvian liquor 'Pisco' finds its origins in the Ica region which has Pisco as capital. There's not to much to do in Ica but just 5km outside of Ica is the desert oasis Huacachina, famous for it's extended sand dunes and it's small lake formed by water emerging from the water table of the Ica river.
The waters of Huacachina's lake are said by locals to possess medicinal properties, as well as being home of an Inca maiden whose tears created the oasis. The imposing surroundings formed by steep, off-white sand dunes provide the delightful contrast which characterizes this unique area.
Huacachina is now famous for sandboogie's & sandboarding so after we checked-in in the most recommended place 'Desert Nights', facing the desert lake, Golnaz & I treated ourselves on a amazing 2h thrill ride in the sandboogie's through the dunes that brought us to the best spots to surf the dunes at sunset. I never had thought this would be such great fun! Sandboarding in Huacachina always starts at 16pm (40 soles), so you can easily combine it with the morning cruise in Islas Ballestas. Before the sandboarding I even had time to stroll around the lake and absorb it's beauty & tranquility.

UBC Pharm Sci alumni and friends to celebrate the careers and achievements of 2018 Alumni Agent of Change recipients
On Tuesday, March 6, 2018, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia (UBC) will host the third annual UBC Pharm Sci Alumni Agent of Change celebration. The event, to be held at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre, will pay tribute to the outstanding career and significant achievements of 2018 Alumni Agent of Change recipient, Bob Nakagawa, BSc(Pharm)'80.
Nakagawa is the registrar of the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia, where he draws on his extensive industry knowledge to inform and operationalize the College Board's direction in regulating pharmacy practice. A registered pharmacist with over 35 years of experience, Nakagawa began his career as a staff pharmacist at St. Paul's Hospital before moving to Lions Gate Hospital where he spent 13 years serving as director in a number of different areas including pharmacy; pharmacy and clinical nutrition; community drug utilization; clinical nutrition and palliative care; and patient care services.
Nakagawa's extensive career also includes roles with the Ministry of Health, Simon Fraser Health Region, and the Fraser Health Authority. During his time with the Ministry of Health, Nakagawa was responsible for Pharmanet, drug use optimization programs, and other provincial drug programs. He implemented an innovative evidence-based policy-making model that has become the gold standard for public drug plans in Canada.
A respected industry leader, Nakagawa has served as president (board-chair) of the College of Pharmacists of BC, and of the Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists. He has also served as the Federal government representative on the Health Council of Canada and chaired the Medical Services Commission, the BC Drug Benefits Committee, and the Federal Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee for Canada.
UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences lecturer and pharmacist, Larry Leung, will also be honoured at the event as a Future Alumni Agent of Change. Leung graduated from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2010 and completed his community pharmacy practice residency in 2011. Leung is a clinical pharmacist at the Faculty's Pharmacists Clinic, Canada's first university-affiliated, licensed, pharmacist-led patient care clinic. As a lecturer in the Entry-to-Practice PharmD program, he coordinates a seminar course in contemporary issues in pharmacy and co-coordinates an elective in Indigenous health. He is also co-lead for interprofessional education in the Faculty's Office of Experiential Education and has led the development and delivery of numerous interprofessional education activities, including case-based learning with pharmacy, dentistry, and physiotherapy students.
Leung has a strong passion for Indigenous health and collaborates with First Nations communities in the delivery of culturally safe medication management services. He is currently leading grant-funded initiatives and research related to healthy medication use in collaboration with the Heiltsuk Health Centre Society and the First Nations Health Authority.
In 2011, Leung co-founded Clinicare Pharmacists Inc., a non-dispensing pharmacy organization aimed at developing and implementing clinical pharmacist services in the community. Through Clinicare, he works with and enables a team of pharmacists to deliver chronic disease management programs in a family physician setting.
The Alumni Agent of Change program will be officiated by Dr. Michael Coughtrie, professor and dean, UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
"Bob Nakagawa and Larry Leung have made significant contributions to the profession of pharmacy and the care of their patients," says Dr. Coughtrie. "We look forward to celebrating their achievements with our community at the event."
