Germ cell tumors represent 2-3% of all ovarian malignancies. This group of tumors typically occurs in patients younger than age 25 and commonly will occur during the teenage years. This set of tumors is unique because they usually occur only in young girls and are highly curable with moderate treatment. This group of tumors also has tumor markers associated with the malignancy and measurable in the blood. This allows suspicion of the type of tumor prior to surgery, and allows confirmation the tumor has resolved by monitoring these blood markers after surgery. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and the pregnancy hormone (hCG) are often used to monitor this group of cancers. Modern chemotherapy has changed this group of cancers from a universally lethal problem to a situation where even advanced disease with multiple areas of spread can be cured.
Fertility sparing surgery is very appropriate for most of these patients. Chemotherapy may cure even patients with stage IV disease and diffuse metastases. Much of the recent research involves identifying patients who need only surgery to remove the tumor and can be cured without additional therapy.
Tumor types of ovarian germ cell tumors:
- 40% of ovarian germ cell tumors, 4% of all ovarian cancers, aggressively malignant
Endodermal sinus tumor
- 20% of ovarian germ cell tumors and aggressively malignant
Immature teratoma
- 20% of ovarian germ cell tumors and behavior varies according to the grade
- Very rare and extraordinarily aggressive, often present as component of mixed germ cell tumor
Embryonal carcinoma
- Very rare and aggressively malignant; often present as component of mixed germ cell tumor
- Very rare
Mixed germ cell tumor
- 10-15% of ovarian germ cell tumors and behavior depends on the components
Carcinoid tumors
- Rare
Struma ovarii
- Made up of thyroid tissue. May cause hyperthyroidism in one third of cases; usually benign but may develop malignant transformation

Google has announced that opens in Beijing the centre for research in the field of artificial intelligence, reports Rus.Media. Rumors about this went online a long time and finally they found official confirmation. The company is confident that this way will be able not only to actively develop the technology, but also to recruit staff of talented Chinese employees to help Google to reach new heights in the field of AI.
Despite the fact that Google's search engine in China have been blocked, hundreds of employees still working in this country. The head of the parent Corporation of Google Eric Schmidt repeatedly said that Google will never leave China because it is an inexhaustible source of truly valuable personnel, and to ignore it in any case impossible.
The SECOND center, which will open its doors in Beijing, will work closely with other Google divisions around the world: in new York, Toronto, London and Zurich. The center already has several dozens of talented developers and scientists, but according to the vacancies list – Google is still interested in searching for new employees. Open today remain more than 20 vacancies. To compete, the company will have such Chinese giants like Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba, each of which is also interested in AI development.
"I believe that artificial intelligence will provide us with limitless possibilities. No matter where exactly happens next technological breakthrough in Silicon valley in Beijing. The important thing is that the buyer will make people's lives better. As for the leading company in the industry is very important for us to achieve the main goal with joint efforts. And for that, we need to bring together the strongest researchers in this area", — said the chief of the II researcher Google Cloud Dr. FEI-FEI.

Balance transfer credit card basics
How balance transfers work
Balance transfer credit cards can be a good way to consolidate credit card debt from multiple cards. Issuers will sometimes offer incentives to transfer balances from your old credit cards by offering a low or zero percent APR on the transferred amount for a limited period of time. This time period may vary based on the issuer and/or offer but typically can be 12 months or more.
Balance transfer fees
Balance transfer cards may have an upfront fee that can equal 3 percent or more of the total amount transferred. Sometimes the promotional rate is meant for a single balance transfer, and issuers may charge higher rates for balance transfers from additional credit cards. All of this information can be found in what is called a "Schumer box", which contains a summary of costs of a credit card offer, such as "other APRs" where balance transfer information resides. Additional information to help you understand your costs can be found in this summary and within the terms and conditions.
Balance transfer impacts on your credit
Depending on your credit situation, a balance transfer could affect your credit. If you already have a high utilization rate, meaning your credit card balances are high compared to your credit limits, transferring the balance to a new card could affect your credit score. The addition of the new card may increase your total credit limit and decrease your overall utilization rate, but having a high utilization rate on a single credit card may still impact your credit.
Balance transfer considerations
- Your ability to pay: Considering the balance transfer cost, which is the fee percentage multiplied by the balance, and the length of the promotional APR, could be beneficial in helping you to budget. For example, if $5,000 is transferred with a 3% fee and the promotion was at 0% for 12 months, then in order to avoid any interest payments, you would have to be diligent enough to pay $429 every month. Any missed payment or balance after the promotional period would result at a higher APR, and could become costly.
- Financial goals: It may turn out that a balance transfer may not help your credit in the short term, but it could be a temporary trade-off. If your goal is to pay off the balance during the promotional period while the APR is low, then as your on-time payments continue and your balance decreases, your credit will start to improve.
- Avoiding more debt: After transferring a balance, you may consider not using the older card until your debt situation improves. You could close the older card to remove the temptation of racking up more debt, but in doing so, you may negatively impact your credit score, since you will reduce your total credit limit and raise your utilization rate. Also, if you had the card for a long time, you could be removing an account that was beneficial to your credit, since creditors like to see a longer and positive credit history. In deciding to close the account, you would have to weigh the possibility of accumulating more debt vs impacting your credit in the near-term. No matter what you choose, if you continue to pay down debt and pay on time, your credit could improve over time.

4 Ways Tea Combats the Effects of Stress
When the weather is scorching and you are feeling the summer heat what do you reach for? Many people reach for iced tea. The weather is cold and you're looking out the frosty window. Statistics tell us that most people will have a comforting cup of hot tea.
In the United States alone 80% of the homes have tea in their pantries. Tea is the only beverage served hot or cold on a regular basis. The demand is huge and is it any wonder that the American public consumes 3.6 billion gallons of tea a year. In 2016 Turkey was the leader in world tea consumption. Tea is a great beverage with new health benefits being discovered daily.
Water is the only beverage that is above the consumption of tea. Water is so very important and when you add tea to the mix you have liquid gold. Green tea has a high reputation for its calming effect.
The health benefit manifests itself through the amino acid found as a stress-reliever. Many have felt the anxiety of everyday stress in life. Having a relaxing ritual gives the body the time it needs to let go and process the stress of the day.
There are many techniques that will aid in relieving the stress of life. When relaxing with your cup of tea, find the place of your choice away from the cares of the world. Put on soft music and think happy thoughts.

Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, had a rude awakening when in 1888 a French newspaper, printed his obituary. Thinking that Alfred had died, instead of his brother, the premature obituary was headed, 'The Merchant of Death is Dead' (Le marchand de la mort est mort").
Alfred Nobel was shocked, not only to read his own obituary but to learn that he would be remembered in such a negative and destructive way.
So in his will he ordered that his considerable estate be invested and that the interest be awarded each year as prizes "to those persons who during the previous year have rendered the greatest services to mankind."
Alfred Nobel's story reminds us of the importance of re-evaluating our lives as we go on everyday. We are not all going to get the chance to have our fake obituary published before we die to remind us to do something meaningful for the world.
Thinking about your legacy can be one of the most potent tools for reawakening and living an extraordinary life. Even though Alfred Nobel invented the dynamite, we mostly remember him today for The Nobel Prize. As the late Steve Jobs puts it: 'For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something".

Jon Gruden says he will not have ownership stake in Raiders
Jon Gruden will likely be one of the highest-paid coaches in football if and when he is hired by the Oakland Raiders, but some of the reports about the offer the team has made him have apparently been exaggerated.
NFL reporters Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen, who work for ESPN just like Gruden, said last week that the Raiders were prepared to offer Gruden an ownership stake in the team to entice him to return to coaching. Apparently they didn't need to do that to make Gruden want the job, as he told "Golic and Wingo" on Wednesday that there's absolutely no truth to that report.
"There's no truth to that at all," Gruden said. "I heard Stephen Smith screaming at me on TV yesterday on one of his shows. There's no validity to that at all — none, zero. No ownership, that's for sure."
Smith said Tuesday that Gruden has not done enough to deserve an ownership stake in an NFL franchise, noting that even Bill Belichick does not have one with the New England Patriots after winning five Super Bowls with the organization.
As he did earlier in the week, Gruden all but confirmed that he will be coaching the Raiders in 2018.
"I think there's a good chance," he said. "I'm excited about where I am in terms of studying the game and prepared to come back and coach. I just don't want to sit here and speculate. I don't know what's gonna happen. … I did have a good meeting with Mark (Davis). I've known him a long time and I've got a lot of respect for the Raider football organization."
The only reason the Raiders are waiting to formally hire Gruden is so they don't violate the Rooney Rule. Gruden is also still under contract with ESPN and wants to honor his commitment through the NFL playoffs.
Gruden has already been working on assembling a coaching staff, and one Raiders fan favorite could be joining him on the sideline next season. The Raiders would not have fired Jack Del Rio if a deal with Gruden wasn't in place.

I don't believe in love at first sight...…..

Why not believe in both. Have safe fun. When love at first sight happens, especially the first time, you are not sure what to make of it. The person who triggers it may be someone you'd never expect yourself to find attractive. Will you be ready to receive it when it strikes?
You gotta drive the car before you buy it;)
Same. But. Love at first sight certainly existed before when women weren't career-oriented self-centered b******.
GREAT! What time can I come pick you up?
Its only s** no love always
Not sure what ^this^ is supposed to mean.....

Noise In The Front of My Car When Braking
Reader Question
I have a question regarding noises coming from my car when braking.
I am a relatively new driver and I recently had a new power steering rack put into my car. Since then, I have noticed a clunking sound on the front left hand side of the car when I brake.
It doesn't happen all the time, mostly when I have to brake suddenly or when I am braking & turning or going in/out of driveways and over speed bumps.
I am not too sure what it could be and have had a mechanic look at it but he said that all seems fine and it could just be my brake calipers? Should i seek a second opinion or is this a common thing??
Hi Cheyenne
I think I would get a second opinion, or at least get another mechanic to take a test drive with you and hear the noise you are considered with. If you were at my shop I would at least remove the TWO front wheels and recheck the brakes and the rack installation.
The brake caliper could be loose or the anti rattle clips on the brake pads could have broken or come loose causing the brake pads to move and make noise.
I don't think you have a safety issue (at least not from what you mentioned in your email) but I would be concerned about a possible premature brake pad wear problem if left unattended.

Fast start lifts Wolves over Smethport Hubbers 62-50
From the opening tip on Saturday afternoon, the Kane Wolves basketball team was off and running. The Wolves jumped out to a big lead, hitting several threes and played strong defense early. The visiting Smethport Hubbers made a second-half charge but it was not enough as Kane picked up their third win of the year, 62-50.
As a team, the Wolves drained nine three-pointers. The Hubs were forced to foul late and Kane made it hurt, hitting nine of 10 from the line in the fourth quarter, 13-17 (76 percent) in the game. Chad Greville put the finishing touches on a good week leading Kane with 21 points including four threes. Austin Pierson drilled two from three-point land and finished with ten points. Alex Rezzelle and Zuke Smith controlled the lane for the Wolves, ripping down rebounds and scoring nine each.
Head Coach Caleb Landmesser was pleased with the Wolves first half shooting led by Greville.
"We did well," said Landmesser. "We want to generate open looks. If we can, percentage wise we have the shooters and we will knock them down. If we don't spread the ball around and have our spacing be what it's supposed to be, we will end up taking contested shots and that's not what we want. The first half was good."
The Kane coach also praised the play of his big men inside. "They (Smith and Rezzelle) are so gifted inside," stated Landmesser. "Both of them can step out and make shots also. They have been doing a good job developing chemistry, screening for each other and also finding men to box out. They did their thing. It was nice to see."
The Smethport Hubbers battled back from a 32-20 halftime deficit and cut the lead to four in the second half. Caleb Lutz scored 10 points in the last two quarters and led the Hubs with 14 for the game. Eric Szarowicz added 11 and Brandon Peterson finished with nine.
The Wolves jumped out to a 5-2 lead following a three from Greville and a layup from Rezzelle. Lutz cut the lead to 5-2 with a jump shot. Kane's defense took control and held the Hubs scoreless over the next six plus minutes. Threes from Carson Whiteman and Brennan Smith gave the Wolves a 14-2 lead before Ian Woodruff stopped the Hubs scoreless drought with a free throw. A late shot from Pierson put the Wolves ahead 16-5 at the end of one.
Smethport's Peterson caught fire in the second quarter scoring nine points. Greville answered with nine of his own for the Wolves. Zuke Smith added four and Pierson drained a three. Kane outscored the Hubs 16-15 and took a 32-20 lead into the half.
The Hubs came out firing in the third quarter and outscored Kane 18-14. Smethport used a 9-0 run midway through the quarter to cut the lead to 39-35 following a three from Lutz. Smethport capitalized on several second-chance opportunities.
"We did a very poor job of when you make contact for rebounding not actually driving our guys back," said Landmesser. "We were trying to jump up for 50-50 balls rather than establishing position. We have to work on that and do better. They had some lapses but in the end, we escaped with the victory."
Lutz added six for the Hubs and Szarowicz five. For Kane, Greville scored five, Rezzelle four and Brennan Smith hit another key three-pointer to put Kane back up by eight, 46-38 at the end of three.
With the Wolves pulling away in the fourth, the Hubs were forced to foul. Kane was shooting in the bonus and hit nine of 10 to seal the deal and win 62-50. Zuke Smith hit 3-4 from the line. Whiteman, Pierson, and Greville were all a perfect 2-2 from the line late in the fourth.

Sponsorship Plan
We appreciate you taking time to consider sponsoring SQLSaturday #877 and we've put together some information that will tell our about plans for the event and show you how your company will benefit from sponsoring our event.
Think of a SQLSaturday as a one day conference. We bring in a lot of volunteer speakers, we have lunch on site, and we have a dedicated area set up for our attendees meet with our sponsors. We work hard to make our event a great experience for everyone, especially our sponsors that enable us to cover the working costs of this event. We're expecting 300+ attendees at SQLSaturday #877.
Sponsorship ranges from $750 to $2500 depending on the package you select, and we're always willing to discuss custom solutions to meet your needs.

All fees must be paid in advance. To register as a sponsor just visit www.sqlsaturday.com and fill out our sponsorship registration form. We'll email you an invoice that can be paid via credit card or check.
The biggest challenge with community events is capturing contact information for follow ups. Few attendees will have business cards, and having them hand write their info often leads to a 30% or higher loss due to inability to read what they wrote! We provide attendees with a set of pre-printed raffle tickets (see below) that will contain their name and email address; they are then able to put these tickets into the raffle box at each sponsor table to try to win a prize. This gives you 100% readability and 0% loss! It is also more effective than any other technique we've seen for trying to capture contact information and that includes scanning their name badge.
Because we want you to be successful all of our sponsorship levels include the requirement that you provide a prize of at least $100 in value, and that you provide a full color 8-1/2 x 11 flyers that highlights the prize(s) you are providing for the raffle.
We provide the raffle box. We will have one table for all absentee vendors placed in the same areas with our onsite vendors. Raffle ticket collection will proceed through the end of the day. If someone from your team is present we'll ask them to draw the winning ticket, otherwise we'll draw the ticket. Attendees must be present to win. If there is a physical prize we'll give it to them, otherwise we'll forward you their contact information for you to follow up with (for license keys, etc).
After the event we will mail you all the raffle tickets from your box. There may be duplicates; depending on how exciting your prize is attendees may contribute more than one ticket to your box – but that's a good thing, they are willing to provide you their contact information in return for the chance to win.
We'll open the doors to sponsors at 7:30 am. Sponsors will be provided with table and two chairs, and limited access to 110v power (please let us know what you need in advance). Tables will be located in the same area as registration and breakfast to make it easy for attendees to stop by your table. We encourage sponsors to remain on site through at least lunch and if possible to have a representative present at the end of the day to present your prize at the end of day raffle.
Lunch will be provided to sponsors that have registered. Please have everyone from your team that will be attending register at www.sqlsaturday.com so that we can have enough food available.
We hope you'll support this event! Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER: This is an independently operated local event. The SQLSaturday logo and the website for the event have been provided to the event leader at no cost by PASS as a service to the SQL Server community. Local event leaders are not authorized by PASS to negotiate contracts, make commitments, or act on behalf of PASS in any capacity.

The Caburní waterfall lies within the Topes de Collantes National Park. It constitutes the highest waterfall of the whole Caribbean region thanks to its 64 meters in height.
The site offers the possibility of hiking, since the path toward the "falls" is made on foot and continues for an hour along a footpath that permits one to take in the lush and varied vegetation indigenous of those mountainous zones of the country, in addition to appreciating the large amount of birds species on sight.
At the end of the stretch, the visitor can bathe in the wide and deep pools that have formed in this spot surrounded by mountains, and further down the path one arrives the great cascade.

From life on the front line to the intimacies of love: Chaya Czernowin's new opera Heart Chamber presents a huge tonal shift from the subject matter of her last project for the stage. Infinite Now, which premiered with huge success at Opera Vlaanderen in Ghent and Antwerp in 2017, took as its basis the short story Homecoming by Chinese writer Can Xue and Luk Perceval's play Front – in turn based on Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front. In contrast, her new opera, which will be premiered on 15 November 2019 at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, is a microscopic examination of the beginning of love....
Just a matter of months after her celebrated opera Infinite Now, which was recently awarded Premiere of the Year by Opernwelt Magazine, a brand new work by Chaya Czernowin is being brought into the world. The cello concerto Guardian was performed in the closing concert of the Donaueschingen Festival on 22 October by the SWR Symphony Orchestra with soloist Séverine Ballon, who will give the work's Luxembourgian premiere on 17 November. But what does the name tell us about the piece? Does it refer to the British newspaper, or rather call to mind protecting angels? The composer laughs at these suggestions, explaining: "Sometimes names are just a source of inspiration. It might be the sound or an association that helps colour what you are doing."...
Clara Ianotta from VAN magazine interviews Chaya Czernowin on her upcoming opera Infinite Now, art's power to preserve individuality, and the intimacy of breath. ...

– Provides clients with the ability to manage their complete journeys from A-Z via one single mobile application
– New features of the intelligent itinerary management tool include mobile booking capabilities, calendar syncing and itinerary sharing
Leading global travel management company, Executive Travel, has launched a new version of its all-in-one 'On the Go' travel application, which is powered by Mantic Point, to enable corporate travellers to consolidate all travel data into one single mobile app, removing the need for multiple apps and travel resources.
Developed using Mantic Point's mobile itinerary management platform, it places travel resources in one convenient app, which can be personalised by client. The new version includes the ability to share itineraries with contacts, make additional travel bookings via the app, plus synchronise calendar updates. Automatic itinerary updates, flight status notifications and useful guides are already available via the smartphone app.
Steve Glenn, CEO of Executive Travel said: "Travel impacts every part of an organization and the complexities of managing a travel program continue to increase each year. Our mission is to 'Simplify Travel' for all stakeholders at every stage. By launching the new version of our On the Go app, it enables business travellers to do just that; manage their complete corporate travel needs via one single app, putting them in complete control.
We looked at the changing needs of today's corporate travellers and found that while many may purchase flight tickets from their TMC, they may then use a separate site for a hotel or use Uber for taxis, for example; all of which was previously managed in different places. Now, strong mobile itinerary management brings it all together in one place."
Added Mike Atherton, Mantic Point's CEO: "We are proud to support Executive Travel with delivering an innovative mobile itinerary management solution that meets the evolving needs of its clients, both today and in the future. As a result, Executive Travel is able to deliver an enhanced mobile experience to its clients and their travellers –many of whom have moved away from booking travel on a PC, but instead now fully rely on mobile devices when it comes to travelling for business."
Mantic Point provides a range of itinerary management, traveller risk management, document delivery, incident management, on-demand invoices and traveller tracking apps and tools to deliver a consistent and relevant experience, across all digital platforms, for the benefit of TMCs, travel agencies and their business traveller customers.

Revisiting a New York icon
How could we reframe MoMA's relevance in a new era of culture and visitor expectations?
From showing to engaging
Founded in 1929 to legitimize and popularize the art of its time, MoMA developed into a cultural force with an unparalleled collection of modern art and huge global influence. With their expansion into a new building in mind they felt it was time to revisit their mission and identity – to serve the needs of new generations of visitors and artists in New York and beyond.
Our approach was to conduct broad and deep research with all stakeholders. This included interviews with employees, curators, management, trustees, and artists; ethnographies with visitors and artists, and quantitative research. The goal: engage and align the organization around a new mission.
Quest: Engage everyone to see differently.
Reimagining the museum experience
The mission to engage informed how the MoMA identity and experience could evolve. We co-defined five project charters for how to create a more engaging experience, and led cross-functional MoMA teams in ideating and implementing innovations across every touchpoint. Design agency Made Thought was briefed to create a thoughtfully evolved visual identity for both the museum and MoMA PS1.
From re-designing the brand architecture, to rethinking how to inspire and engage artists, to informing the navigation of the museum, the goal was consistent: engage people in new ways, by acting as a citizen rather than a citadel.

Strong And Secure Passkeys.
Creating strong and secure passkeys for your online accounts is essential these days, in order for you to keep your online accounts safe from hackers and yourself safe from cybercrime.
We all have sensitive information kept in online accounts such as banking, utility, mobile phone and social media accounts etc, and a hacker would only need to go to the login page of any online service and would be at your front door.
You really need to create strong and unique passkeys and usernames for all of your online accounts to make them impossible for hackers to break into them, and where possible change the username to something other than the default username as provided by the service that you are using, for example, many online accounts have the word 'admin' as the default username.
What you need to do is change the username to your name and add some extra characters if possible, such as letters and or numbers, to distinguish you from other users that have the same name as you. Also, you need to create a strong and unique passkey for each account that you have.
Creating Unique Passkeys.
It is no good using your child's name, or the name of your pet or any other name for a passkey, as this could make it very easy for a hacker to try and guess. A hacker only needs to go on social media and look at what you have posted in your Facebook account to find out details about you.
For example, if you posted on Facebook something about your mobile phone provider, a would-be hacker would know the name of your mobile phone provider, and then he would look for more of your posts, such as the one you made last week about your dog 'Rover', and as he already knows your name, he potentially has enough details to be able to break into your online phone account.
So you really need to create a strong and unique passkey such as in this example; 'B93qNNiG#r^9f9LW'.
If you look closely you will see that this passkey has 16 characters, upper and lower case letters, numbers, special characters and does not spell any name or word that can be found in the dictionary, making it a very strong and unique passkey.
But how do you create strong and unique passkeys I hear you ask? Well in answer to that, you would need to use a passkey management program that contains a passkey generator, that will enable you to quickly create and manage your logins and passkeys on all of your online activity.
As you can see in the screenshot on the left is the passkey generator that is within Roboform. It is is very easy to call up and use, as you are able to change the criteria of the passkey to suit the credentials of the website account that you are signing up to in just a few clicks i:e, you can change the number of characters, include or exclude hexadecimal, upper or lower case letters and numbers.
There is also an indicator to show the strength of the passkey that is being generated, and once you have generated a new passkey you are able to copy and paste it into the required website and Roboform will offer to save it for future use.

An analysis of potential sites for a new police station, fire station, or both, is stalled.
"We were waiting for the company we had hired to do an assessment on Wigwam Road," Selectman Barry J. Nadon Jr. said in a recent interview. "They said that they were done, but we said that the way the agreement was written, they would be paid in full when they found a suitable site."
Curtis A. Edgin of Caolo & Bieniek Associates, Inc., an architectural and planning company in Chicopee, was hired by the town to review sites. He has assessed several sites to date, according to West Brookfield Police Chief C. Thomas O'Donnell Jr. of the town's Spatial Needs Committee, but the 2.5-acre tract at Wigwam Road and Route 67 has not been reviewed, yet.
Caolo & Bieniek Associates considered town property on Cottage Street, adjacent to the present fire station, and several private parcels on West Main Street, which since have been sold and are out of the mix.
There appears to be a disagreement between town officials and Caolo & Bieniek Associates on whether the $5,000 fee for the assessment services should include a review of Wigwam Road.
Until this is resolved, coming up with a definitive construction proposal to eventually take to voters at a town meeting is on hold.
"As far as I know it's not a dead issue," Chief O'Donnell said, "but it's definitely slowed down."
Contacted by phone in Chicopee, Mr. Edgin, president of Caolo and Bieniek, said an invoice for $5,000 previously was sent to West Brookfield for analysis of more than 6 sites, but the town provided only partial payment.
"We want to establish a relationship and we want to do the project with the community, so we're willing to go above and beyond," Mr. Edgin said.
The Wigwam Road site has had a cursory inspection, but the Chicopee company is prepared to finish that review and submit its findings to West Brookfield for the $5,000 contract price.
It was about seven years ago that voters here defeated a request to spend $4.8 million to purchase the former Brookfield Machine plant at Central and Front streets for conversion to a police station.
At that time town officials recognized that space restrictions in the police station in Town Hall, and tight quarters in the fire station on nearby Cottage Street, were a prime concern. The police station is in cramped quarters in a building that poses the hazard of people under arrest being taken past the general public and town employees to be booked.
The Town Hall location downtown on East Main Street also cannot be expanded to meet the Police Department's current and future needs.
The fire station, which is behind Town Hall, offers similar problems. Fire apparatus is parked so close in the existing building that firefighters have to be made of Silly Putty to squeeze past the vehicles.
Over the years, there have been suggestions that West Brookfield and Brookfield consider a joint police station, and the same has been proposed for West Brookfield and Warren, but town officials and residents here want a centrally located Police Department, similar to the present location.
It was in 2010 that selectmen approved spending the $5,000 on the current study of several sites in town that could be purchased for use as a police station, fire station or both.
The study, which got under way last year, also called for reviewing some town-owned property, including the site on Cottage Street and the land at Wigwam Road and Route 67, not far from the local elementary school.
Chief O'Donnell and Mr. Nadon both believe the Wigwam Road tract will be more than adequate for a police station and fire station, provided the pending study determines it to be suitable.
There is ledge at that location, according to Mr. Nadon, but even if the town has to pay $300,000 to remove it, that would be equal to the cost of buying a building on private property.
"We know that there's ledge there, but we just want an idea of what it's going to cost to remove it," he said. "If it's going to cost a million dollars we're better off to buy some other place."
There is plenty of room there to also locate a fire station, as long as the northern corner of Wigwam Road and Route 67 is cut back to allow an adequate view for firetrucks pulling out onto Route 67 from Wigwam Road, according to Chief O'Donnell.
The neighboring town of Ware recently got $5 million in federal funds to build a $6 million fire station now under construction on West Street (Route 32). The town is kicking in the remaining $1 million.
West Brookfield has had no luck in finding state or federal funds to assist in the cost of building a police or fire station, or a safety complex.
Albert F. Collings, who is about to step down from the town's Advisory Committee on finances after serving for about 10 years, said West Brookfield is on good financial ground to build a police or fire facility.
"It would probably have to be a debt-exclusion and a borrowing, but I think we've got that capacity to do it," he said. "It would have to be something that is carefully orchestrated and sold to the voters."
Mr. Collings said the last time the subject came up "we were talking about $3.5 million and maybe as much as $4 million."

The rain subsided (whew!) and so I put my computer in one of my panniers and high-tailed it up Main St. to The Cactus Club breakfast restaurant. I chowed like a moron….8 pieces of French toast, 2 eggs, hash browns, and about 24 oz of water (and coffee). At about 9:15am, I received a text from Heather letting me know she was almost into Ness City, and could join me for breakfast. She chowed down like a moronette. Then Terry joined us and had his coffee (he downs about 1-2 pots every morning… I'd be peeing like a racehorse.)
While at the restaurant, I did some more writing (blogs) then responded to Warm Showers emails (one of them said, "Yes" for Terry and I to spend the night at their house when we arrived into Kansas City, MO. Nice that this couple is letting us stay with them. The cool thing is that they brew their own beer and offered to share some when we arrived. Yes! Terry edited some of the videos he had recorded in the past few days, and Heather was texting away to friends and family.
Finally, at 11:30am Heather and I took off for Larned. Heather was apprehensive about biking 90 miles, so I just kept encouraging her that she could do it. We had fun going from town to town—and each town had it's own massive grain elevator. That was the first thing that you would see on the horizon when approaching a town. Both Heather and I equated the experience to being on a lost ship and seeing an island on the horizon. So whenever we came over a hill or around a bend and saw a grain elevator on the horizon, we would yell, "Hey, an island straight ahead!" We took a few breaks along the way to weather the weather, which was climbing up to 102 degrees.
We finally arrived into a very small town called Rush Center. We had to carb up for the final 30-mile push to Larned, so we stopped at a gas station and Heather made us some peanut butter sandwiches (thanks!). We hung out for a few minutes, spoke to the friendly local farmers, and Heather psyched herself up ("you can do it Heather, you can do it"). We were back on the road again at 5pm, with a goal of reaching Larned in 2.5 hours. The wind was relentless and the shoulder of the road disappeared after about 7 miles. We decided to take a water break under an oasis of a few trees just off the road.
Just after parking our bikes and sipping on our water bottles, a pick-up truck stopped and a woman inside asked us if we would like some food. She told us she had some fried chicken and we could make a picnic under the trees. "Sure, thanks!" we both said. The woman's name was Joanne and she brought out the chicken, and then said, "Do you also like fruit?". Uh…yeah! So she brought out two small cartons, one containing strawberries and the other, blueberries. Wow! While she handed us the food, she said that we needed to be careful about biking to Larned, as some of the truckers are not very careful. Additionally, there was a storm brewing and we might not make it to Larned in time to beat it. We could stay at her home for the night. She said "just think about it; here's my number." Thanks Joanne.
Just then another pick up truck arrived and it was Dick, a cool guy with whom we spoke at the gas station 10 miles back in Rush Center. Like Joanne, he said that a storm was brewing near Larned and that he would be happy to put our bikes in the back and give us a ride, so we could be sure to avoid the rain and thunder. "OK" we said. Dick was fun to chat with, and he took us all the way to Larned while we ate the chicken that Joanne had given us. Are all Kansas folks so damn nice?
We arrived at the motel where Terry greeted us, having reserved a room. Great! Heather immediately went for a swim, and then spoke with friends and family on her phone for a while. I also went swimming, but first took a *much needed* shower. I was so happy to be clean again! Terry, Heather, and I chatted some more, and then I wrote another blog. We all crashed around 11pm.

Classroom Dojo
As parents, you probably already know that stress and anxiety are at an all-time high among children today. However, research has shown that mindfulness practice can improve optimism, reduce stress, and increase classroom focus for students globally. That said, it is still a relatively new focus for K-12 schools.
To do something about this, ClassDojo (a communication platform connecting home and school) is partnering with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence to create a new activity series on Mindfulness.
The activities feature short, animated videos and discussion guides starring the ClassDojo monsters kids love.
ClassDojo is one of the fastest growing education technology companies of all time — now reaching 90% of K-8 schools in the US + 180 countries!
Mindfulness, along with other videos in The Big Ideas series, are designed to give parents & teachers resources in and out of the classroom to help with your child's emotional development.
We received these videos and app and love them! They have really been a fun way for my 8 year old grandson so learn some techniques in helping his anxiety. As a thank you, I am giving away a poster and plushie to a random reader! All you need to do is comment on this post and I will choose someone by Random Generator. Good luck!!

'The Guardian' Outs Patrick Stewart and More Highlights
Splash News
Here are this week's highlights from VH1, Celebuzz, Flavorwire, and Hollywood.com.
Office Space was more influential than you might think.
Claiming that the 1999 hit comedy influenced how a generation thought about work seems a little extreme, but read Flavorwire's compelling argument, and you just might change your mind.
Can you name all the members of One Direction?
Ben Schwartz, who plays the fantastically dispicable Jean-Ralphio on Parks and Rec, certainly cannot. Watch the super hilarious video of his attempt at VH1 Celebrity.
The Guardian incorrectly called Patrick Stewart gay.
And he was very gracious in his reply. Read his super funny Twitter response at Celebuzz.
Naya Rivera said something pretty offensive about being Latina.
And Hollywood.com has a thoughtful explanation about why the Glee star is wrong. Read the response and find out what she said here.

"There's a 50% chance of rain, but I am planning for this rain or shine." That was one of the first sentences Dylan said to me when we first spoke on the phone regarding the pictures he wanted when he proposed to his girlfriend. I told him absolutely, sold on his romantic and adventurous spirit, and the location he had in mind.
I was referred to Dylan by a friend of his in the same local photographer's facebook group I am in. He was looking for someone for a friend planning to propose, and that it would require a hike of about 15 minutes or so–in other words, the type of sessions I dream of booking. I was thrilled when Dylan contacted me saying he liked my portfolio and wanted to work together. We talked, and set up a day to meet at the trailhead so I could figure out where I would hide, and where he would make he would pop the question.
Aside from realizing just how out of shape I am when compared to a college athlete, the hike was worth every steep step to a beautiful overlook of the Hiwassee River–and isn't heavily trafficked so we weren't too worried about having to navigate around other hikers. Particularly with the forecast looking wetter and wetter.
And the day itself was indeed rainy–up until about the point I started driving out there. Then the rain cleared, giving way to a delightfully moody sky. I hiked up with my gear, met up with Dylan's incredible best friends who had hiked a whole bench up to the overlook, and we all got into our positions. I learned pretty quickly that my knees are NOT cut out for hiding places where I have to squat–but then I heard voices, and Dylan and Sofie were in position, and I was able to stand up and start shooting.
Of course, Sofie said yes! Her reaction was perfect, and once Dylan pointed out to her that he had a photographer there, I was able to climb out of my hiding spot, and do an engagement session for them on the spot, and I could not have asked for better models. They were both so comfortable in front of the camera, are such attractive people, and they are so happy and in love. They hardly needed any prompting at all, and I was happy to sit back and just direct them to different spots on the overlook, all while clicking away at their natural interactions.
I'm so excited to finally share some of the images from their gallery now that they have had a chance to see all of them and tell their friends and family their good news.
Congratulations Dylan and Sofie! I wish you the best of luck in wedding planning, and a beautiful life together.

Shaw Show Ready for Action
Lines have been learned, dialogue developed and emotions evoked in preparation for this week's theatrical production of George Bernard Shaw's classic play "Arms and the Man". Presented by the Quebec Art Company, the play has just finished technical and dress rehearsals. The play's open set offers a splendid backdrop for the lavish costumes of this period piece – a talented team has created an assortment of sharp military uniforms and elaborate ladies wear – including bustles! Beyond these visual delights, the story is an entertaining tale of love triangles and confused identities. Although at first glance it might appear to be no more than a typical Victorian romantic comedy, Shaw has used the story as a comic vehicle for the more serious social issues that preoccupied his life, including class relations, gender issues and the folly of war. This week, all the elements are converging, and the stage is set for a superb show. Tickets are still available for the weekend performances beginning on Friday evening and running through the Sunday matinee – don't miss it! (see the Community Calendar for further information.)

For many people, a deep clean takes place over several days; and in some cases, several weeks. This is because a lot of people are working longer hours and spending less time at home. If you're one of those people, deep cleaning is probably something you either dread or avoid altogether.
But with a little planning and the right tools, you should be able to perform a reasonable deep clean on a single day off.
Create a speed cleaning caddy
Deep cleaning your entire home in a day is going to require speed, which is why you should have a caddy filled with everything you need — for every job. You should add the following items, as well as any specialist items your home requires.
- Microfibre cloths
- Paper towels
- Vinegar
- Baking soda
- Bin bags
- Old toothbrushes
- Multipurpose cleaner
- Antibacterial wipes
- Wood polish
It's also a good idea to have a powerful, bagless vacuum cleaner and a steam mop at your disposal — which will both help you to save time.
Make sure you're free for the entire day, and that no one will be getting under your feet. Of course, any help you can enlist will help you get finished even faster. Gather together everything you need, and split it in two if you live in a two-storey home. Finish your preparations by quickly decluttering every room in the home. Throw anything for charity shops or car boot sales in bags, and place them outside or in your car.
Hit the bedrooms
Strip your bed before cleaning and deodorising your mattress. Quickly dust all of the surfaces, including walls, windowsills and ceilings. You might need to attach one of your microfibre cloths to a broom to dust at height — or use the appropriate attachment on your vacuum cleaner.
Empty your wardrobes and drawers, and give them a good clean — ensuring they're completely dry before you return your clothes. Vacuum your carpets, and then check for stains. If your carpet is in need of a clean, you might be able to use your steam mop with the necessary attachment for the job. If you have hard floors, your steam mop will make light work of them.
Finish by vacuuming your curtains and blinds and putting fresh bedding on your bed.
Reception rooms
Your living room and dining room are probably the cleanest, most organised rooms in your home, as they're where you receive visitors. This means you should prioritise other rooms, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Nevertheless, there are a few essential jobs you will need to take care of.
- Dust ceilings, walls and coving
- Clean the windows and sills
- Dust all surfaces and possessions (including electrical appliances)
- Check for scuff marks on walls and skirting (how you deal with them depends on which paint or wallpaper you're dealing with)
- Vacuum upholstery
- Vacuum curtains
- Vacuum floors
- Check for stains on your flooring — most can be tackled with baking soda and water
Your kitchen needs to be tackled appliance by appliance, and before you start cleaning walls, floors and surfaces. However, as you only have one day, you should only spend a lot of time on appliances that are in need of a deep clean.
Empty your fridge and wipe down all of the compartments and shelves with antibacterial wipes. Quickly wipe the exterior surfaces, and santise the handle. For now, leave your freezer, and schedule a day for defrosting and deep cleaning.
The other major appliances in your kitchen that should receive some attention are you oven and your hob. Both might need degreasing and cleaning thoroughly — for which there aren't really any shortcuts. However, you can save time by covering all surfaces in a paste of baking soda and lemon juice. Leave it to break down the grease and food, and start cleaning cupboards, bins, small appliances, tables, chairs and worktops while you wait. Once you're finished, you might be able to wipe the food and grease off your oven and hob with relative ease.
Finish the kitchen by steam cleaning the floors.
Start by cleaning any grey or black grouting using baking soda, vinegar and an old toothbrush. Don't clean all of the grouting, however, as you simply won't have time. Then simply wipe all of your wall tiles down with multipurpose cleaner and a microfibre cloth.
Pour some toilet cleaner down your toilet and around the bowl, and leave it there to soak. Wipe down the cistern, the seat, the rim and the outside of the toilet with antibacterial wipes. Make sure you pay particular attention to the toilet seat hinges, and the area where the toilet meets the floor. Finish by flushing the toilet and wiping everything dry.
Spray your shower door with a solution of water and vinegar, as well as plug holes, taps and showerheads. If you have a curtain, simply replace it with a spare and throw the dirty one in the wash. Once your vinegar has had 30 minutes of contact time, wipe it away with a microfibre cloth. While you're giving the vinegar some contact time, spray your sink, bathtub and shower tray with multipurpose cleaner, and wipe the surfaces dry with a fresh microfibre cloth.
If you notice and area of mould or mildew growth, you should be able to remove then with either a steam cleaner or a dedicated mould remover. Clean the windows and sills, and finish off by vacuuming and steam cleaning the floor.
Six or seven hours of solid cleaning isn't a long time to perform a deep clean, but you'll be amazed at what you can achieve with planning, focus and elbow grease.

Alumni Profile: Jamaal Jackson
Name: Jamaal Jackson
What year did you graduate from KSU? I graduated from the HPER Program in 2004
What have you been up to since graduation? I was the assistant basketball coach here from 2004-2008. I went to Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where I was the assistant coach from 2008-2011. I earned my master's degree from the University of West Alabama in 2009. My two children were born in Alabama. In 2011, I became the head men's basketball coach at Bluefield State College in Bluefield, West Virginia, where I spent five years. In July 2016, I was hired here as the men's basketball head coach.
Best memory or memories at KSU? I probably don't have a single best memory here. It was a great night when we returned from Birmingham after winning the 2001 SIAC championship. There were students and staff waiting in Bell Gym at about 2 a.m., ready to celebrate. I met my wife when I was a student here, that's the best memory! I have a lot great memories, the parties in Bell, hanging out in the lobbies of Kentucky Hall, Chandler Hall, and the late night grill. I think that's why it's so important to me for my players to leave here with the same feeling about this place that I have. When we go out to talk to prospective student-athletes, we don't recruit, we just share the memories.
What is the most important thing you learned here? I was blessed to have people here who, while they were tough, they cared enough to push us and help us reach our highest potential. I learned discipline and perseverance from being a member of the basketball program. I learned about professionalism and the importance of presentation from Mr. Isadore Rich. I learned about the importance of relationship building from Mr. Ron Banks. I also learned about the importance of building relationships when I moved off campus and needed to get in the café, thank you Mrs. Taylor! Something that will always stay with me are excuses are not acceptable. Coach Bennett would always tell us, in a not-so-friendly tone, "Find a way to get it done!"
