Hey Spike! presents a colorfully artistic palette from Breckenridge's Gathering at the Great Divide
Special to the Daily
If you go
What: 42nd Annual Gathering at the Great Divide
When: Saturday, Sept. 2 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 3 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Monday, Sept. 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Where: Breckenridge (North Main Street & Wellington parking lot)
More information: MountainArtFestivals.com
If there's a list of "almost locals" in Summit County, you'll find touring artists Daniel and Barbara Marcus-McKenna on it.
Since the mid-'90s, the Lyons residents have been including in their annual art show schedule of 20 plus shows, the trio of nationally ranked Mountain Art Festivals.
Both are individual artists working together in two mediums — Barbara creates colorful monotype paintings, professionally framed by Daniel, and both produce an inventory of stained glass lamps and window hangings, along with custom orders.
Their juried tour schedule has them alternating between two bodies of work.
It's Barbara's fine art monotypes this time prominently on display over this Labor Day weekend that you'll find among the 120 white tent booths at the 42nd Annual Gathering of the Great Divide.
Located at North Main Street and Wellington parking lot, the festival is the third of three shows produced each summer by the Cunningham family of Dick and Mary and daughter Tina of Mountain Art Festivals.
Trained in painting and printmaking with a bachelor of fine art degree from the acclaimed Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Barbara has been exhibiting at art shows since 1986.
In her junior year, she was chosen to represent RISD to attend Yale University's Summer School of Music and Art, as a scholarship recipient.
"Daniel and I started working together at art shows in 1993," says Barbara of their talented partnership.
Daniel had been working with faceted and blown glass since 1981. He apprenticed at the Maytum Handblown Studio in Boulder and studied design there until 1994. They met at the Crested Butte Art Festival in 1987, and made their partnership in 1991.
"The world of fine art has always aroused my passion and continues to focus my attention on excellence. It's the dedication for pure expression and a strong desire and will to create," Barbara comments. My inspiration comes from impressionism, abstract expressionism, and the beauty of the natural world."
Her love of painting is perfectly expressed in monotypes.
"The monotype process combines freedom of painterly expression with the ingenuity and technology from the Renaissance Masters," says Barbara, who explains the process:
"A monotype is a single image that transfers to paper, one time, by use of my etching press. The pigment is forced into the fibers of the paper, resulting in unique surface textures that cannot be achieved by painting directly on paper. Each monotype is unique, authentic and unlike any other medium."
Barbara has won awards at shows across the nation — from Florida to the West Coast.
While here for the third time this summer, Barbara and Daniel will visit longtime friends Chuck Leathers Real Estate Broker Mollie McCarthy and Scott Thomas, a ski instructor and builder.
"I met Mollie through a mutual friend when she was in the health food industry in the late 1980s (Wildflower in the Frisco Historic Park)," Barbara says. "When she and Scott finished remodeling their townhouse in Frisco, they started hosting us three times a year for the Breckenridge shows."
"They always make it more fun to be in Summit County, inviting us to join in in the festivities," she adds.
In some good news updates from Hey, Spike!, we offer congrats to that slacklining hero Mickey Wilson and Purple McMullen-Laird, who were married recently while hanging above a Moab, Utah, canyon.
Secondly, it's good to report that Copper Triangle bicyclist Don Whitney is home at Copper after his Vail Pass descent mishap that landed him in St. Anthony's in Denver for nearly three weeks.
"Wow, we are so lucky, so grateful, so happy," wife Jan remarks about Don's recovery. "It's a miracle."
Miles F. Porter IV, nicknamed "Spike," a Coloradan since 1949, is an Army veteran, former hardrock miner, graduate of Adams State College, and a local since 1982. An award-winning investigative reporter, he and wife Mary E. Staby owned newspapers here for 20 years. Email your social info to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Too true.
The fechtbuchs cover very little cross-weapon fighting that I have seen, evenly matched or otherwise.
The question is a technical one though. During the slaughter of the sword-armed gentleman by the luckier one with the spear, would the spearman be in krieg while the swordsman remains outside? Would they both be in krieg when and only when the sword touched the spear? Etc.

I define the range as binding range.

When the war roams above, below he will be shamed.

The War is the Winding and the work to the four openings with the point that comes from it, and deploy this thus: when you strike with the Wrath Strike, as soon as he displaces then drive full forward with your arms and immediately wind the point high on his sword to the upper opening on his left side. If he then displaces the high stab, then stay standing in the wind with your hilt in front of your head, and let your point sink below to your left side, if he follows after your sword in displacement, then drive on to his left side with the sword and send the point up to his upper right opening, thus will he be shamed with the war high and low, in that you drive properly from one to the other.

Richard Strey wrote:Steven,
as I see it, "Krieg" isn't a particular play from the Wrath Cut. It is -as the example Paul B gave above- what you do when winding and the attacks that develop out of this. In many medieval fencing texts, concepts are described not by talking about the concept itself, but by stating several examples. Here, the Wrath Cut example is the most obvious: It doesn't mean "Krieg is when you come from the Wrath Cut and bind...", but rather "Krieg is *for example* when you come from a Wrath Cut and bind...". Mostly you'll enter Krieg via someone doing a Wrath Cut, but really, it doesn't matter. The *bind* matters. Krieg is fighting from the bind.
And thus, it describes a tactical situation, as well as a range.

Eric Hopkins
Eric Hopkins plays the dual role of percussionist and associate principal timpanist in the symphony. His passion lies in both roles equally. For Eric, percussion is about negotiating the wide array of acoustic possibility, overcoming and embracing the challenges of each unique instrument. On timpani, the large copper kettle drums, Eric strives to maximize the sound color palette to vivify the emotional content of the music.
For both crafts, Eric finds himself pleasantly busy collecting and experimenting with instruments, sticks, and mallets. Some of these implements make it on stage at Abravanel Hall. A few of his timpani sticks started as wild bamboo from his mother's back yard in Florida, with a toy car wheel attached at the top, covered with a layer of green felt from a billiard supplier sewed on using dental floss and a needle. Eric is constantly on the lookout for new percussion gear and admits to compulsively buying old tambourines and triangles on Ebay.
Noriko Kishi
Noriko Kishi holds a B.M. from the Eastman School of Music, and a M.M. from the New England Conservatory. Her principal teachers were Irene Sharp, Robert Sylvester and Bernard Greenhouse. She was Principal cellist of the New World Symphony from 1991-1994 and a member of the Sacramento Symphony from 1994-96. Ms. Kishi has appeared as soloist with the New World Symphony, Michael Tilson-Thomas conducting, and with the Music in the Mountains Festival Orchestra. She has worked with distinguished conductors, Leonard Bernstein, Sir Georg Solti and Seiji Ozawa, and participated in masterclasses and coachings with members of the Guarneri Quartet, the Cleveland Quartet and Yo-Yo Ma. Ms. Kishi can be heard on recordings with Stratos Chamber Orchestra, the New World and Utah Symphonies and the NOVA Chamber Players. She was a Fellow at Tanglewood and participated in the Aspen, Spoleto (USA, Italy), Colorado and Moab Music Festivals. A native of San Francisco, Noriko taught at the San Francisco School of the Arts, the San Francisco Community Music Center, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Preparatory Department, and has served as guest faculty at BYU. In Salt Lake City she is a frequent guest on the NOVA Chamber Music Series and has performed regularly with the Utah Symphony and the Canyonlands New Music Ensemble. In 2016, she will be the artist in residence for the Salty Cricket Composers Collective.

Why Chef's Tables Are Growing in Popularity
Small groups looking to have meals with a big impact are booking seats at increasingly popular chef's tables.
There aren't traditional menus at Thoroughbred Food & Drink's chef's table. Instead, the Toronto restaurant offers what general manager Robin Kemp likes to think of as parties at the kitchen table. Planners who book the "Ain't No Party Like an East Coast Party" can expect buckets of fresh seafood such as lobsters, clams, and mussels emptied right onto the 10-seat table, located adjacent to the kitchen on the restaurant's second floor. Hard punches are served in huge four-liter Mason jars, so guests can pour their own drinks.
"Everything is family-style," Kemp says. "Everyone indulges and has a good time."
The chef's-table approach for business entertaining is resonating with corporate groups from advertising and public relations agencies and companies in Toronto's financial and fashion districts. "Corporate groups choose us because we're a little more cutting-edge," Kemp says of the option, which runs from $45 to $65 a person, with a $500 minimum spend requirement. "The idea is more of an experience, a little less staid."
Choosing a chef's table for a corporate event is one way to guarantee a more memorable and interactive meal, and more venues across North America are offering it as a social alternative to private dining rooms. After all, guests can't help but talk to one another when they're passing dishes around a communal table. That's the case at Commonwealth Restaurant in Boston, a farm-to-table venue that seats as many as 14 at a chef's table located between the restaurant's open kitchen and its market area.
"Our venue encourages family-style dining, so passing side dishes down the table, you're more likely to interact with people than you would if you're each just getting your own individual plate," says Hilary Neville, private events and catering director for Commonwealth. Guests gather for dishes like scalloped potatoes and crispy risotto cakes at the table, which is made out of wood from a bowling alley and machinery from a Ford plant in Detroit. Neville estimates that about 75 percent of the groups that book ahead for the chef's table are corporate groups.
The menu at the chef's table depends on which ingredients are in season and the whim of chef Steve "Nookie" Postal. "It's a great chance for the chef to shine and show what's really seasonal. They literally send out what's fresh and what they feel like cooking at that moment," Neville says. "It's really taking New England food and making it shine. You're purchasing from local farmers and eating what's being grown in our area." The menu is priced from $65 to $75 a person.
The Elm in Brooklyn is another restaurant that offers a seasonally driven, constantly changing chef's table tasting menu. At the Williamsburg restaurant's eight-seat chef's counter, dubbed Little Elm, executive chef Arnie Marcella creates an eight-course tasting menu that differs from the main restaurant offerings. "It's kind of a surprise," says Little Elm's Arleene Oconitrillo. "When we book your reservation through our reservation line, we ask about allergies and dietary [restrictions], and then the chef creates a menu around those if you happen to have any."
The $135 menu is unique to the chef's counter, which faces the kitchen so guests can see the chef and team in action.
A restaurant doesn't have to be a white-tablecloth, haute cuisine destination with a celebrity chef to offer a chef's table. At Buca di Beppo Florida Mall in Orlando, guests dine right in the kitchen at a table that seats eight guests. Diners begin their meal with Buca di Beppo's signature half-pound meatballs and experience the bustle of the kitchen. "The cooks in the kitchen interact with [with guests]; they make it an experience for them," says chef partner Holt Cappleman. The restaurant is located near a hotel that frequently hosts conventions, so corporate groups often book the table. "We have a lot of people who will come once, and they'll come back year after year just because of the good experience they have at the table," Cappleman says.
Restaurants also offer chef's tables away from the kitchen. Chef Brian Massie is planning a chef's tasting menu in the private enoteca at Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar, an American restaurant that opened this fall at the Red Rock Resort Casino Resort & Spa in Las Vegas.
"It has this exclusivity about it, being in the room with all the wine. It just becomes more of an intimate experience," says Shane Monaco, director of restaurant development at the Light Group. The rustic-style wine racks are made to look like wooden pallets with wine barrels lining the wall. And even though it's not in the kitchen, there's still a view. The wine room faces the casino floor on one side and, on the other, Hearthstone's bustling counter dining space with an exhibition-style wood-burning oven.

Union home minister Rajnath Singh begins 2-day Kashmir visit
Union home minister Rajnath Singh will be part of the first batch of about 5,000 pilgrims, who will leave for the annual Amarnath Yatra in Kashmir, on Thursday.india Updated: Jul 01, 2015 19:18 IST
Union home minister Rajnath Singh will be part of the first batch of about 5,000 pilgrims, who will leave for the annual Amarnath Yatra in Kashmir, on Thursday.
Singh is in the state to take stock of security and other arrangements for the annual pilgrimage. The home minister, who reached Srinagar on Wednesday afternoon was scheduled to have a detailed discussion with governor NN Vohra, who heads the Amarnath Shrine Board.
The BJP leader will also review the security arrangements for this year's Amarnath Yatra along with chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and senior officials of state and central security forces.
Singh is on a two-day visit to the state and will join pilgrims on July 2 for the first prayer at the holy cave situated at an altitude of 3,888 metres in the South Kashmir.
The annual Amarnath Yatra will begin from Jammu for its onward journey to the shrine of Lord Shiva. Pilgrims are being ferried in buses and trucks flagged off from Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu early on Wednesday.
The Yatra will be escorted by heavy contingent of security forces to twin base camps of Amarnath cave shrine in Baltal in Ganderbal district of central Kashmir and Pahalgam belt of South Kashmir.
About 2,400 additional personnel of BSF have been deployed across the state and en route to the shrine to ensure smooth conduct of the Yatra.
The 59-day-yatra will start from July 2 and conclude on Shravan Purnima (Raksha Bandhan) on August 29.
Over two lakh pilgrims have been registered so far, while 20,000 will be visiting the holy cave in helicopters.

❰Download❯ ➶ The Reconnection Author Eric Pearl – Wearedating.co.uk
10 thoughts on "The Reconnection"
The reconnection is about a man who quits is job as a successful chiropractor because he realizes he has an extraordinary gift In this book Dr Erik Pearl tells you about his amazing experiences about him miraculously healing people, his life, how his gift has progressed and how to use this gift yourself He tells of how he s healed people with lifelong disabilities and how he healed aids and even caner and it is truly inspiring and funny at times even though at some points in time you feel like he is a bit negative It is still a good book that may make you question the way you live your life and what you want to do with your life One of the things I love most about this book is how Dr Erik Pearl not only tells you how to use the energies but he also talks about the scientific proof and evidence Which really causes you to wonder about and want to pursue this gift but most of that happens in the first part of the book The second part of the book is about how to use the energies and actually heal people which I found awesome because you actually feel it and know it s really there He talks about feeling the energies and not forcing them and he talks about how he doesn t believe in bad energy and negative entities which I found a little weird I mean what kind of energy does he think murderers have good energy
I was profoundly drawn to Dr Eric Pearl when saw his brief appearance in The Living Matrix Researched and got his book, was compelled to fast track to the back sections then slowly read the rest at leisure From his book, what he teaches and conveys, I can t help but am overjoyed to read and learn further truths that has taught my soul a thing or two Simplicity and truth is what Eric Pearl keeps anchoring in, which resonates with my soul right to the core, and confirms and reaffirms so much I feel and know, but that often gets challenged by many older established spiritual practices My deepest respect for a man who is a highly evolved soul, enlightened, though he himself would not use that word He is one who has come in this lifetime to bring this great leap forward for mankind, especially in the area of healing, but in the shape of a very down to earth man, who can rebuke and break down all walls that spirituality has unconsciously grown to surround itself It is most amazing, this age and time wisdom and evolution of consciousness come from every corner of the globe, through all shapes and forms, to continue to help humankind evolve and heal An outstanding book, well written, again in such simplicity and truth, that people who don t get it, simply don t because of their own walls of ego Dr Pearl s wisdom and contribution to healing and our soul evolution is profound I would be most honored and thrilled if I can ever get to meet him in person one day, especially to enjoy his humor Thoroughly enjoyed the book
This is a book that could actually change your life.Dr Pearl was a successful chiropractor when he began to have strange experiences he had in fact since birth, and probably before, had strange experiences.He began to treat people by waving his hands intuitively through their aura, after which they moved their head, eyes and other parts of the body in unexpected ways, and also channelled messages for him Miracles happened his patients were cured of incurable ailments.Pearl had been advised to get hold of a moldavite crystal, and it turned out this stone had the ability to open up communication with angels, entities and beings from other planets Pearl states I put the stone in my pocket, and the channelling started The messages channelled by the various patients were the same 1 We are here to tell you to continue what you are doing.2 What you are doing is bringing light and information to the planet.3 What you are doing is reconnecting strands.4 What you are doing is reconnecting strings.5 You must know that you are a master.6 We ve come because of your reputation.Now he is telling us how to connect with this energy, or rather he says that this will happen merely by our reading the book This has happened to me, and I was also fortunate to get help and healing from a friend, which has strengthened my connection I feel the energy in my hands, and sometimes in my head When connected, sometimes my right foot moves involuntarily, and I feel a coldness in my right leg, or both legs.With this method you do not send energy, but receive it Pearl states that it is not faith healing , and it greatly surpasses energy healing Reconnective healing is not a technique It transcends technique You are this healing energy, and it is you It emanates from you the moment you focus your attention on it You work with it by noticing it, by allowing your attention to fall onto it.The book includes instructions whereby we can heal ourselves and carry out distant healing.If you don t feel you completely get the hang of the method , you might be lucky to find someone in your area who can carry out the Reconnection for you This will connect you with the healing energy.This important book is clearly and amusingly written Pearl has his own distinctive, humorous style I highly recommend that you read it.
Witty, humorous, and thoughtful Can be read in an evening, barring interruptions The first third of the book is primarily biographical which provided a personal connection with the author The rest of the book describes Reconnective Healing and its meaning Then finally, Dr Pearl explains the how tos , giving some basic tips to practice on.As Dr Pearl suggests I am rereading the book now and will most likely read it a few times between loaning it to friends.I bought the Spanish edition from requested by my Argentine husband who has begun to do some of the suggested exercises.I dearly hope that energy healing will replace allopathic western medicine and eventually put corporate health care back with the archaic practices of the past century The website is www.TheReconnection.com
This will probably sound woo woo to many people Eric Pearl s personality may put some people off I enjoy his humor, as he takes the mystery out of energy healing I read the book, felt the energies, took the healing levels one and two, and experienced the reconnection I have felt a major shift in my consciousness If you feel the energy in your hands as you read the book, pursue it.
Eric Pearl is a character I genuinely enjoyed his book and learning from him at the Los Angeles conference Reconnective Healing is powerful stuff A good read for anyone interested in energy healing His work is modern and alive.
Amazing Just the information I was searching for.
weird while and after reading the book i felt there is something funny with my hands is it true may be i had been activated.
This a very motivational book to read in my opinion He discusses real challenges in his life that he had to overcome to be successful It leaves you realizing it is just not you who has to jump through hoops it is many others also He would reach a level of success for it to collapse, like the perfect life picnic that gets ants.
Jos itsens ja muiden parantaminen kiinnostaa niin t ss voisi olla hyv opus johon tutustua Me olemme energiaa ja kaikki muukin on energiaa T ss kirjassa selitettiin jotenkin hienosti miten ja miksi energialla voisi parantaa En tyrm ajatusta kokeilematta.

He did not think his revolver would fire when he toyed with the weapon while on duty as an auxiliary police officer at the Tuas Checkpoint.
On the second day of his trial for committing a rash act to endanger human life, Gregory Lai Kar Jun, 23, who used to be a Certis Cisco corporal, admitted yesterday that he had pointed the revolver towards the ground and squeezed the trigger, causing one round to be fired.
When District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim asked if he had chosen to take the risk, Lai pondered over the question for around 10 seconds before replying: "Yes."
Lai, who is now a GrabCar driver, is accused of firing the revolver at the checkpoint at around 2pm on Aug 13, 2015.
He also faces a charge of intentionally obstructing the course of justice, by hiding the discharged round in a traffic wand. Then, to cover his tracks, he allegedly threw a second bullet into a toilet at the checkpoint, so that it would appear that he had lost two rounds.
He faces a third charge of lying to a policeman about the bullets the next day.
Lai told the court yesterday that he had placed one round inside his revolver on Aug 13. He said a colleague, Muhammad Dzul Adhar Azmi, 22, saw him do this.
In his police statement on Aug 19, 2015, Lai said: "What I know is that if the round was at the 12 o'clock point, it would come off but what I did not know was that if the round was at the 2 o'clock point, it would also come off."
In that same statement, Lai said he had put the bullet in the gun at the "2 o'clock point".
Lai said he and Dzul were shocked when the bullet was fired.
They looked for the discharged round and Lai found part of it under a table about an hour later. Lai said he came up with the cover-up plan.
He said in his statement: "At about 4pm or 5pm, I took the expended bullet and hid it in the traffic wand, the battery compartment, for the meantime first while Dzul watched me.
"Dzul then helped me bring it out but what time he brought it out and disposed of it, I do not know."
Lai said he then threw a second bullet in the toilet.
"I then reported to Ops Room that I lost two bullets," he added.
In his statement, Lai also admitted that he did not know what he was thinking when he decided to play with the weapon.
Dzul was jailed for three weeks and fined $2,000 on Oct 21 last year, after he pleaded guilty to intentionally obstructing the course of justice and failing to inform the police about the rash act that Lai allegedly committed.
The trial continues today with the prosecution set to question Lai over his testimony. If found guilty of intentionally obstructing the course of justice, Lai faces up to seven years in jail and a fine.

Five big mysteries about CRISPR's origins
Where did it come from? How do organisms use it without self-destructing? And what else can it do?
Heidi Ledford
12 January 2017 Corrected: 13 January 2017
Francisco Mojica was not the first to see CRISPR, but he was probably the first to be smitten by it. He remembers the day in 1992 when he got his first glimpse of the microbial immune system that would launch a biotechnology revolution. He was reviewing genome-sequence data from the salt-loving microbe Haloferax mediterranei and noticed 14 unusual DNA sequences, each 30 bases long. They read roughly the same backwards and forwards, and they repeated every 35 bases or so. Soon, he saw more of them. Mojica was entranced, and made the repeats a focus of his research at the University of Alicante in Spain.
It wasn't a popular decision. His lab went years without funding. At meetings, Mojica would grab the biggest bigwigs he could find and ask what they thought of the strange little repeats. "Don't care about repeats so much," he says that they would warn him. "There are many repeats in many organisms — we've known about them for years and still don't know how many of them work."
Today, much more is known about the clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats that give CRISPR its name and help the CRISPR–Cas microbial immune system to destroy invading viruses. But although most in biomedicine have come to revere the mechanics of the system — particularly of a version called CRISPR–Cas9 — for the ways in which it can be harnessed to edit genes, Mojica and other microbiologists are still puzzling over some basic questions about the system and how it works. How did it evolve, and how did it shape microbial evolution? Why do some microbes use it, whereas others don't? And might it have other, yet-to-be-appreciated roles in their basic biology?
"A lot of the attention paid to CRISPR systems in the media has really been around its use as a technology — and with good reason. That's where we're seeing incredible impact and opportunities," says Jennifer Doudna, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, and one of the first scientists to reveal CRISPR–Cas's agility as a gene-editing tool. "At the same time, there's a lot of interesting fundamental biology research to be done."
Where did it come from?
The biological advantages of something like CRISPR–Cas are clear. Prokaryotes — bacteria and less-well-known single-celled organisms called archaea, many of which live in extreme environments — face a constant onslaught of genetic invaders. Viruses outnumber prokaryotes by ten to one and are said to kill half of the world's bacteria every two days. Prokaryotes also swap scraps of DNA called plasmids, which can be parasitic — draining resources from their host and forcing it to self-destruct if it tries to expel its molecular hitch-hiker. It seems as if nowhere is safe: from soil to sea to the most inhospitable places on the planet, genetic invaders are present.
Prokaryotes have evolved a slew of weapons to cope with these threats. Restriction enzymes, for example, are proteins that cut DNA at or near a specific sequence. But these defences are blunt. Each enzyme is programmed to recognize certain sequences, and a microbe is protected only if it has a copy of the right gene. CRISPR–Cas is more dynamic. It adapts to and remembers specific genetic invaders in a similar way to how human antibodies provide long-term immunity after an infection. "When we first heard about this hypothesis, we thought that would be way too sophisticated for simple prokaryotes," says microbiologist John van der Oost of Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
Mojica and others deduced the function of CRISPR–Cas when they saw that DNA in the spaces between CRISPR's palindromic repeats sometimes matches sequences in viral genomes. Since then, researchers have worked out that certain CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins add these spacer sequences to the genome after bacteria and archaea are exposed to specific viruses or plasmids. RNA made from those spacers directs other Cas proteins to chew up any invading DNA or RNA that matches the sequence (see 'Lasting protection').
How did bacteria and archaea come to possess such sophisticated immune systems? That question has yet to be answered, but the leading theory is that the systems are derived from transposons — 'jumping genes' that can hop from one position to another in the genome. Evolutionary biologist Eugene Koonin of the US National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and his colleagues have found1 a class of these mobile genetic elements that encodes the protein Cas1, which is involved in inserting spacers into the genome. These 'casposons', he reasons, could have been the origin of CRISPR–Cas immunity. Researchers are now working to understand how these bits of DNA hop from one place to another — and then to track how that mechanism may have led to the sophistication of CRISPR–Cas.

OK, I am new. I Just bought an ex-mark and am looking to get work at some local companies that have pretty basic lawns but I do not know how most contractors go about getting those contracts. Do I stop by and give them a bid, do I just stop by and say hi would you like a bid, or are they expected to call you. Oh, by the way I am looking only do 2 or 3 place on the weekend for some extra money. Not cheap either but fair market price. Thanks!

Is ECTARC open?
Yes, ECTARC is open and here to support you with your studies. In the interest of the safety and wellbeing of our wonderful staff some will be working remotely, however, will be available to receive enquiries by email and phone as normal. When you call the ECTARC office you will be asked who your Training and Development Officer (TDO) is and, if they are working remotely on that day, a message will be sent for them to contact you. If it is a normal working day for your TDO, they will respond promptly. In the case where your TDO is not working that day, if your enquiry is urgent there is always someone who will be able to assist you.
How do I complete my assignments?
Nothing has changed in the way you submit your written assignments – you will have 24-hour access to the ECTARC Training Portal and ECTARC Student Management Portal to do this.
How will my practical assessments be completed?
The regulatory authority that oversees ECTARC – the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) – has made it very clear that all RTOs must ensure the requirements of each unit continue to be met by all students. How we do this may look differently however. Where ECTARC would normally come to your service to observe you in the workplace, your TDO will discuss with you the options of submitting video evidence or, where videos are not permitted, using technology such as Skype or Facetime. ECTARC TDOs must observe you completing all of the task that are listed in your Practical Assessment Instructions and will work with students individually to do this. Where visits are not urgent, you can continue on with your written assessments and as soon as we can commence visiting services again we will come and observe you.
I haven't completed my Work Placement Hours and I am not currently allowed at the service where I am completing them. Is this a problem?
ASQA has clearly stated that all Work Placement Hours must still be completed. This means we cannot issue a Statement of Attainment or Qualification until they are finished. If you do not have a service you can access throughout this time, you will need to wait until a time that you can. For our Fee for Service/Distance students, please do not worry if this means you will need to go beyond your enrolment period – speak to your TDO and we will ensure you are provided with sufficient time to complete this requirement. For Trainees and Apprentices, if you have concerns about not being able to complete your assessment requirements please speak to your TDO. If it means that you will go beyond your contract end date, you will need to contact your Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) to discuss an extension. ECTARC does not have the authority to handle employment enquiries and extensions, we are however here to support you every step of the way throughout your studies.
I am a Trainee/Apprentice in a service and my employer has said that they have no work for me anymore. What can I do?
All employment based questions must go directly to your Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) provider. They will be able to provide you with the necessary information.
How do I find out more information about COVID-19?
The Australian Government recommends visiting the website of your state health authority as they will have the most up to date, correct information.
How long does the enrolment process take?
Processing of enrolments and
distribution of learning materials takes 3 business days. If you have
submitted qualifications and transcripts for credit transfer for
consideration, the enrolment and distribution of learning materials may take
longer. You can commence study as soon as you receive access to the
ECTARC Training Portal.
Will I get a refund if I change my mind and no longer want to continue?
The enrolment fee is non-refundable, except
where the student withdraws their application within the 14-day cooling off
period, or they do not satisfy the enrolment criteria, in which case it is
refunded in full. If a student is accepted by ECTARC and then elects not to
participate in the course after the cooling off period, then the enrolment fee
is non-refundable. ECTARC offers clients refunds on fees paid in the following
Can I enrol in the CHC50113 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care without completing the CHC30113 Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care?
Yes, you can enrol straight into the CHC50113 Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care.
Methods of payment for units
You can enrol online using your credit card or by
completing an enrolment form and posting it to ECTARC with a cheque or money
order. Additional units can be purchased at the ECTARC online shop with a
credit card or by call the ECTARC office and giving the credit card details
over the phone. If students wish to send a cheque for payment it must be
accompanied with a completed Students Units Order form.
Does ECTARC offer student personal loans?No, ECTARC offers students the opportunity to pay as they progress through their studies. It is an interest free, affordable option for financing your study. A direct debit payment plan can be set up for each student.
What does verification of Certification Documentation (Qualifications, Transcripts and Statements of Attainment) mean?
Australian Governments' Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTO's)
2015 requires RTOs, such as ECTARC, to authenticate VET qualifications,
Statement of Attainments and transcripts that are provided by students for the
purposes of granting credit transfer or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).To
do this students must provide copies of
qualifications, Statements of Attainments and/or transcripts to ECTARC and
grant permission for ECTARC to view their records on the USI Portal at www.usi.gov.au
Where permission is not granted, ECTARC will contact the issuing RTO for verification.
How do I verify other documents?From time to time ECTARC requires verified documentation (such as photo identification on enrolment).
Photocopy your qualification, Statement of Attainment and/or transcript.
Find a Justice of the Peace (JP).
You must take both the original document and the photocopy to the JP. They must sight the original document and sign the photocopy of your qualification, Statement of Attainment and/or transcript.
Post the signed photocopy to ECTARC.
How long does it take to receive a unit after purchase?
Units will be opened on the ECTARC Training Portal within 3 business days of the funds being cleared.
How do I complete my First Aid unit?
All students must complete the required First Aid unit with an external Registered Training Organisation. A copy of the Statement of Attainment must be forwarded to ECTARC before the completion of the course. This is at the cost of the student (for those enrolling in a funded program, please speak to your Training and Development Officer for information about how these costs are covered). Credit Transfer will be granted for this unit, provided the First Aid Certificate is current on completion of the enrolled qualification. Where the First Aid Certificate expires throughout the enrollment period, the student is required to renew this, at their own cost, prior to their qualification being issued. To find an external training provider, please click here myskills.gov.au
How often do I have to submit assignments?
For fee for service/distance students, provided you complete all the program requirements within your enrolment period the time frame for submission is flexible to meet your personal circumstances. Please note however, students must submit at least one assessment task within a 6-month period, or their enrolment will be made inactive. If they remain inactive for 12 months they will be withdrawn from the program. To recommence studies, student will need to complete the full enrolment process, and this will include the payment of enrolment fees.
What is the turnaround time for units to be marked and returned?
It will take up to 2 weeks for the marking and return of assignments.
If you receive a Not Yet Satisfactory result you have the opportunity to resubmit the parts of the assessment that were deemed Not Yet Satisfactory. You may submit an assessment up to 3 times in total before the unit is deemed Not Competent. To re-enrol in this unit you would then be required to pay a re-enrolment/re-assessment fee of $65. Contact your Training & Development Officer for guidance and support.
amount of detail required for each answer in an assessment can vary depending
on the question that is being asked. Some questions will require more in-depth
answers to answer the question completely whilst others may only require a
short paragraph or sentence. Please use the wording in the question to
guide your responses. The ECTARC Student Handbook also describes in more detail
they different types of questioning you may be asked and what this means.
How long will I have access to the ECTARC Training Portal after completion?
All students will have 14 days access to the ECTARC Training Portal after their course completion date to download content and any completed assessments for future reference. To download completed assessments, go to the relevant unit and click on the ASSIGNMENTS link to view your assessment tasks. Click on the assessment task you wish to copy and then right click on your mouse and choose the PRINT function. Change the destination from your printer to the PDF setting and click to SAVE. If you have any questions regarding the saving of your online content, please call 02 4223 1111.
Can I do my Work Placement Hours at the place where I work? And what happens if I don't have all the ages there?
Yes, you can complete the Work Placement hours at any regulated education and care service within Australia, so long as there is a qualified Workplace Supervisor (who holds a Children's Services/Early Childhood Education and Care Diploma qualification or above) to supervise and mentor you. This can be voluntary, casual or permanent work.
If all the required ages/groups are not at the
service you are at, some of the requirements can be completed in your
workplace, however, you will need to access another regulated education and
care service (of your choice) to complete the remaining hours as a Practicum.
An 'Advice of Practicum form' is required to be completed and submitted to
ECTARC if this applies.
What if I need extra time to complete my qualification?
Distance students have 2 years to
complete a Certificate III and Certificate IV qualification, 3 years for a
Diploma qualification and 6 months for a single unit course (such as Child
Protection, Safe Food Handing, Menu Planning). If a student does not complete
their course in the required time frame and wishes to extend the amount of time
they have to do a course an extension can be granted and fees apply. An
extension must be applied for prior to the student's enrolment period end date.
To extend a course for 1 month costs $40.00, 3 months will cost $100.00 and 6
months will cost $200.00.
Please note: Extensions must be requested prior to the end date to ensure continued enrolment. Extensions commence the day after the current enrolment period ends, not from the payment date.
EXAMPLE: Emily calls and requests an extension on the 11th May, which is two days before her enrolment ends on the 13th. Emily's extension will commence on the 14th of May, even though she may not pay her invoice until after this date.
Where ECTARC approves an extension that is requested after the end date has passed, the extension will still commence the day after the original end date to reflect a continued enrolment.
EXAMPLE: Emily calls and requests an extension on the 16th May, which is three days after her enrolment period ended on the 13th. Emily's extension will still commence from the 14th of May to reflect a continued enrolment, even though this date has passed.
How long after I've sent everything in, does it take for me to receive my certificate?
It takes approximately 4 weeks for all assessment and administration processes to be completed before a certificate is issued.
Please note: ECTARC must have received and verified your USI to issue your qualification, and all fees must be paid prior to this being sent to you.

The City of Revelstoke has announced a sweeping overhaul to city administration and services, including staff reductions, realignment of duties and responsibilities amongst city departments and a review of city services.
The major changes were announced on June 5.
Here are some specifics:
– Director of Engineering Mike Thomas will assume an expanded role, replacing the recently departed planning director John Guenther. Thomas's position will be Director of Engineering and Development and he will oversee engineering, building inspection, planning and development services.
– Engineering, planning and building inspection services will be located on the lower level of city hall.
– Bylaw enforcement will now be an administration department responsibility, not the planning department.
– The city will create a new communications position/corporate administration position.
– The city plans to eliminate several positions, but hasn't specified which ones. Some of these positions will result in new, integrated positions.
– The city plans to review public works with the view of making the department more efficient.
– The bylaw creation process will be seated in the administration department; for the past several years, the lion's share of new bylaws were generated and driven by the planning department.
– The city plans to physically overhaul the city hall building. In addition to the long-planned upgrade to the stucco envelope, a new service entrance will be added on Second Street. It will be accessible to those with mobility challenges.
In an interview with the Times Review, City of Revelstoke Chief Administrative Officer Tim Palmer said the changes are designed to improve customer service, create a more efficient organization, improve communications and focus on core services.
(Story continues below audio interview with City of Revelstoke Chief Administrative Officer Tim Palmer.)
He said the city has drifted away from its core services and had become bureaucratic and inefficient, creating "significant frustration" amongst its clients.
"By realigning and integrating the departments we'll save a lot of duplication in labour that was occurring. Coming with that will also be improved customer service," Palmer said.
He added the changes will also lead to streamlined internal processes. "By realigning and integrating the departments we'll save a lot of duplication in labour that was occurring. Coming with that will also be improved customer service," Palmer said.
"What we've recognized today and what I think council has heard from the citizens is we want really good day-to-day processing of applications and … services."
Palmer said the public had disengaged from a city hall preoccupied with "endless" and "ambiguous long-term planning initiatives."
Mayor David Raven said the changes are in response to several pressures. "Council is committed to these proactive steps to address our debt, infrastructure deficit, and business sector demands to reduce tax increases," he said. "It is also a favourable time for our employees to take advantage of change to improve their workplace environment. This is more about the creation of opportunities to improve than the reduction of services."
CAO Tim Palmer said the new development services focus didn't mean undoing years of community input and planning processes.
He said the city was dealing with a changed reality from the early days of Revelstoke Mountain Resort development and was trying to reflect that.
"We recognize that the magnitude of the development isn't quite what was envisioned in 2007 and 2008 and this is an appropriate time to pause and make sure we're protecting those long-term interests of the residents." He said the restructuring at city hall reflected this change of pace. The city will "pause and think about how fast we're going with this."
He said the overhaul will also focus on public works services, looking to create efficiencies and save in that department.
Palmer didn't have specific targets for savings. He said the city plans to meet a recent city council objective of $160,000 in savings via an internal operations review, but couldn't put a target on the overall total, adding it would be "quite significant on the money side."
The savings will come from staff reductions and position amalgamations, reductions in contract services and operational efficiencies, Palmer said.
City officials are in discussion with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 363, the union that represents city employees.
Palmer said the changes had created anxiety amongst staff, but he also saw "genuine optimism amongst staff that these are going to be positive changes." He said some of the staff reductions would come through attrition and retirements, adding the savings to the city would be "significant" despite costs associated with reducing staff.
UPDATE: June 6, 12 p.m.
Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce supports city restructuring
The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce issued a statement supporting the restructuring approach taken by the City of Revelstoke, saying the chamber board hoped the changes will lead "to improved customer experience and reduce operating costs.
"We appreciate the time and effort that Tim [Palmer] and his team have put into this restructuring plan," the Chamber board stated in a June 6 media release. "We are pleased with the changes in the approach of planning initiatives to 'building and development' to ensure 'efficient processing of day to day applications.'"
They said it showed a commitment on behalf of city council to take, "proactive steps to address our debt, infrastructure deficit, and business sector demands to reduce tax increases."
UPDATE: June 6, 2 p.m.
Greg Ingram is the national representative for CUPE. He told the Times Review he's scheduled to meet with city officials on the afternoon of June 6, and didn't have further information or comment on the situation at this point.
Ingram said CUPE wasn't yet aware of the numbers of layoffs, reassignments or other staff changes. He said the union first heard of the changes late last week.
He said he'd be back in touch with the Times Review once CUPE had met with city officials.
Here's the City of Revelstoke's June 5 media release detailing the overhaul:

Fourth Grade
Memorial Elementary
2-column Notes
Students in fourth grade learn about the five geographical regions of the United States. They are expected to know states, capitals, geography, and how the regions differ from one another. We use the online program called Teach TCI so students can access this information on their iPads. I decided the best way for my students to understand each region is to read/listen to each section and use 2-column notes to write the most important facts. Students that struggle with what to write can use the "main idea" tool which highlights the most important facts. Each student writes the facts in their own words using abbreviations, as needed. I also allow for students to draw pictures of these facts, if necessary.
To set up their 2-column note, I have students fold their papers or create the lines based on the ⅓:⅔ ratio. Then they label the topic of their section. In this case, students labeled their notes as "The Southeast Region". The ⅓ section, or main idea, is usually labeled based on what city or town they are researching and why. For example, the first section of the southwest region is called Monument Valley - Home of the Navajo, therefore students will write Monument Valley, Utah - Navajo Indian Reservation. On the ⅔ side, students will write anywhere between 3-4 facts about Monument Valley.
Once students finish all of the sections for the Southwest, they will use their 2-column notes to write a summary. I have taught the regions for a few years now and found that using 2-column notes and turning them into a summary is the best strategy to make the information stick. Students are also learning a skill that will carry over when completing research projects that will require them to only include necessary information. I have used this strategy since the beginning of the year and can now say that most of my students are at an independent level.

Cape Town - The fourth women's One-Day International between the Momentum Proteas and Australia went down to the final ball, ending in a draw at C.ex Coffs International Stadium in Coffs Harbour on Sunday. Australia are 3-0 up in the five-match series.
The Southern Stars set a 243-run target after electing to bat first. Ellyse Perry (69) and Nicole Bolton (63) made the top batting contributions, sharing an 80-run stand for the third wicket, with Alex Blackwell and Elyse Villani chipping in with 35 and 24 runs respectively.
South Africa's Suné Luus and captain, Dané van Niekerk were the pick of the bowlers taking a respective 4/37 and 3/52 to restrict the hosts to their competitive total.
In their reply, the Proteas lost Lizelle Lee (12) and Lara Goodall (2) in the first eight overs. Luus made 18 and Mignon du Preez only managed five runs before their dismissals in the 11th and 12th overs.
South Africa were in trouble on 40/4 when they were rescued by by a 144-run, fifth-wicket partnership between Player of the Match, van Niekerk (81) and Marizanne Kapp (66). They moved their side to 184/5 before Kapp was run out by Villani in the 42nd. Dinesha Devnarain and Chloe Tryon could only add 13* and 11 respectively, while Odine Kirsten was run out for one and Moseline Daniels was bowled without troubling the scorers.
Jess Jonassen was the leading wicket taker for Australia with 3/37 and, with the assistance of two more run outs, including that of Masabata Klaas off the last delivery of the match, South Africa were denied victory.
The fifth and final ODI will be held at the same venue on Tuesday, 29 November.

Antisemitic propaganda of Jews in the ghetto
Propaganda footage comparing rich and poor Jews in the ghetto. Footage showing naked religious Jews (first men, then women) bathing in a public bathhouse (mikvah). Good shots of people buying and selling all sorts of wares. Many armbands visible. Overhead panning shots of vendors at stalls, one with a sign reading "Lodu." Dirty courtyard of a house with children. 00:18:14 Men and women sunbathe by the Warsaw ghetto wall. Interior of a dirty, poor house with a large family, including a sick child in bed. 00:20:45 "Rich" Jews arrive at a residence where the door is opened by a maid. Interior of a clean, prosperous house where a woman sits at a vanity table and looks in a mirror and fixes her hair. People having tea and being attended by a maid. Camera pans around room and out of window, where the ghetto bridge and wall can be seen. Street scenes showing beggars, crowds. Vendors, two very small children lingering by a tray piled with baked goods of some kind. Commerce at market stalls. Woman in a patterned dress sniffs meat before it is cut. Man in stall weighs goods. CU, hands exchanging money. Pan of line of men sitting against a building, including an old white-haired man with a cane.

I have a few thoughts about 1st Birthday Parties.
Before I had a baby, I used to join in the throng of scoffers who said things like, "Eh, the first birthday party is really for the parents anyways." I used to laugh to myself about the parents who wanted to seem like they had it "all together" by throwing a party for someone who wouldn't even remember a thing!
But now that I have a kid, I realize something.
Damn right the party is really for the parents!
Seriously! And what's so wrong with that?
The 1 year mark isn't just a big milestone for Gregory. It's also a big big BIG milestone for Jesse and I as parents! A year ago, we were just two. Now, we are three (well, going on four!). That adjustment was not easy! This was the most intense year of our lives, figuring out not just how to "make things work" logistically, but also to be responsible caring for this new soul amongst us. This wasn't some high maintenance pet we acquired, it's someone for whose care and raising we are accountable for to Christ!
So, in a sense, this is our one year birthday party. Celebrating the day we stopped being kids and started raising one. It's our "One Year Birthday" for being parents. In the same way, we don't just celebrate 1 year wedding anniversaries because we'll remember it, we celebrate to honor and give thanks for that day.
Even if not a single picture gets taken at the party (which, let's face it, is not gonna happen), and Gregory never gets to see that momentous "smash cake" picture, eating his first cake (um, first-ish cake…), it will still be worth it.
We survived the year. And did a hecka good job with this crazy boy (who has currently crawled underneath a sofa chair whilst going after a football and is crying for help!).
So, hecka yes. I want my party. It's time to celebrate!
A Transformer Birthday Party
My oldest is 5
Should 2 Year Olds Have Birthday Parties?
Gregory's 2nd Party!

Netflix competition. As the datasets are getting BIG and COMPLEX, the most difficult challenge for Statistical Scientist is to figure out "Where is the information hidden." It's an interactive process of investigation rather than a passive application of algorithms and calculating error rates. Two critical skills: (1) "look at the data", which is missing in the mechanical push the button culture; and (2) learn "how to question the data", rather than only answering a specific question. They allow data scientists to discover the unexpected in addition to the usual verification of the expected. This begs the question whether
- the Data Science training curriculum should look like a long manual of specialized methods and (series of cookbook) algorithms;
- or, should train students (and industry professionals) in the Scientific Data Exploration (Sci-Dx) — A systematic and pragmatic approach to data modeling addressing the "Monkey and banana problem" [Pigeon's approach] for practitioners. [I believe Wolfgang Kohler's "insight learning" idea can guide us to develop such a curriculum.]

People, Leadership and Culture
Every line on a financial statement reflects something a person has or has not done. People achieve business results, not 'organisations'. What our organisations must do is rally its resources to get the best from people. This means ensuring they are competent, confident and motivated to achieve the goals of the organisation, and they are provided with the necessary "nutrients" to fuel success and realise the business goals.
Modern approaches to people management recognise the importance of strategic goals and policies being integrated with operational realities. Strategic planning, people planning, organisation structure and the structure of management accountability and responsibility set the scene for how people will work in an organisation. In addition, the way information is managed and organisational communication is used convey important messages about the organisation, who it is, how it is and what it values.
Operational people and 'human resource management' (HRM) practices cascade from legislative dictates and business strategy. Operational people issues include employment issues (recruitment and selection, relationship termination, leave management), skills and knowledge enhancement (orientation and induction, training and development, career planning), performance management (individual and team performance measurement and review, discipline and grievances), management of relationships (employment relationships; employment agreement/contract form, content and negotiation), remuneration management, management of information (HRM information systems, privacy rights and best practice) health, safety and wellbeing (legislation and best practice, employee assistance programs, anti-harassment programs), diversity management.
Kaycee Projects endorses the international trend towards leaner human resources departments in organisations and increasing responsibility and accountability for people issues by line managers. It is the sensible means of achieving business objectives. People decisions are best made by those closest to the people - their managers. The role of the human resource professionals then becomes one of consulting and advising line managers, and facilitating the design, coordination and dissemination of policy and practice information in accordance with the Executive Team's wishes. The HR team are also the 'people conscience' of the organisation.
Kaycee Projects has experience in designing, implementing and auditing people policies and practices at strategic and operational levels. Call for assistance in working through any HRM issue for your organisation:

While Kris is familiar with the gamut of leadership theory her particular specialties are:
inspiring leadership,
leadership of strategy,
leadership of change,
self-awareness, and
women in leadership.
Edgar Schein claims that leadership and culture are two sides of the same coin. Kaycee Projects couldn't agree more. Leaders create culture and they create culture change.
