The USA Cycling Pro Road National Championships opened Thursday with the Individual Time Trial events on Melton Lake Drive in Oak Ridge.
The championship racing events continued Friday through Sunday in Knoxville.
Here are photos from Thursday's races by Julio Culiat.
In the races in Oak Ridge on Thursday, Amber Neben, 44, of Lake Forest, California (Cogeas – Mettler Pro Cycling Team), successfully defended her title in the elite women category, according to USA Cycling. She was in a field of 23 women, and she secured her third consecutive gold medal in the individual time trials with a time of 30 minutes and 19 seconds.
The time trial course was 7.12 miles (11.5 kilometers). Women completed two laps, and men raced for three.
Chloe Dygert-Owen, 22, of Port Orchard, Washington (Sho-Air TWENTY20), finished second overall in the elite women's competition, and she won the national title for women under 23 in the individual time trials, USA Cycling said.
Ian Garrison of Decatur, Georgia (Hagens Berman Axeon), added his second national title in individual time trials in seven days by taking the Stars-and-Stripes jersey in the elite men category. Last week in Hagerstown, Maryland, Garrison won the championship for men under 23 in the individual time trials, USA Cycling said.
"He becomes the first male athlete to capture U23 (under 23) and elite national titles in the same year," USA Cycling said.
The men's race featured 38 riders. With defending national champion Joey Rosskopf of Decatur, Georgia (Team CCC), foregoing his entry, the title was up for grabs, USA Cycling said.
Garrison "turned on the afterburners" during the third and final lap on Thursday, winning the race in 42 minutes and 58 seconds, USA Cycling said.
Garrison had trailed Neilson Powless of Roseville, California (Team Jumbo-Visma), for the best time after the first two laps of the final wave of riders, USA Cycling said. Powless had been one of the favorites to win the race, having earned double medals in the individual time trial championships in 2017: a silver in the under-23 category and a bronze in the men's elite category. He would not fade completely on the final lap in Oak Ridge on Thursday, holding on to second, finishing 28 seconds behind Garrison, USA Cycling said.
The organization said the riders battled heat and humidity, with temperatures climbing to 90 degrees and the heat index reaching 100 by midday.
The races continued with the U.S. Pro Criterium Championship in downtown Knoxville on Friday and the signature event of the championships, the U.S. Pro Road Race Championship, on Sunday. The races also included U.S. Paralympic Cycling events.

Experience Fatima's 100th anniversary summit with Cardinal Burke in Portugal
August 11, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Join His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke in Fatima, Portugal from April 4-8 2017 for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to begin the commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Apparitions of Our Lady.
The significance of 100th anniversary is hard to overstate. Not only did heaven, by a special apparition of the Mother of God in 1917 warn about the coming world war (WWII), she also warned about the coming war on morality we are living today. She told one of the three children to whom she appeared that "the final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family."
Cardinal Raymond Burke, the hero of the defense of life and family in the Church, will preside over a four day symposium of analysis and devotions commemorating the anniversary at the place where Our Lady appeared. Cardinal Burke will take pilgrims through the messages from Our Lady of Fatima and what they mean and how they should be implemented into our lives.
LifeSiteNews Co-Founder John-Henry Westen will present on the attacks on marriage and family and the solution to the crisis coming from the Fatima Message.
The pilgrimage includes a visit to the shrines of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross in Spain. Let the Catholic culture and civilization of the Iberian Peninsula imbue your soul and renew your energy for the great fight in defense of Our Catholic Faith and our precious families.
This retreat-like setting, including daily Mass and confession, will be an opportunity to renew your Faith.
These are just a few of the wonders that you will experience during this once-in-a-lifetime Fatima Summit and Pilgrimage!

A new leaked internal report from 2015 reveals that BP's refining operations are exposed to high safety risks that can lead to deadly accidents and pollution as a result of slack data management and a lack of investment. The document was co-authored by BP, IBM and industry consultancy WorleyParsons. According to a Reuters report, the authors state that BP's refining and petrochemical business (i.e. downstream) is trailing rivals such as Royal Dutch Shell by up to seven years in managing information to reduce safety risks and financial losses. BP is notorious for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and subsequent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, in which 11 lives were lost.

Two days ago there was an article about "Millenial burnout" on BBC. It was on the front page, while the content of the article was quite simple, making me wonder why it was considered a big news. Probably because there were already so many articles bashing Millenials: they are entitled, they only eat avocados, they don't know how to save money, the only thing they care about is their Instagram feed… so perhaps it's time to defending Millenials by revealing this layer.
There's an image in that article that I like:
That's the same hamster wheel that I've been in for seven years, but instead of name of days, it's one achievement after another. I shared a little bit here that I'm a dreamer. I've always been a high-achiever. After I achieved goal A, I'd quickly chased after goal B. Then goal C. And so on, until it left me breathless.
Literally yesterday I just had my bi-annual performance review at work. My rating was something that's bugging my mind since August last year, pretty much since the half started. My previous three ratings were always either "Greatly Exceeds Expectations" or "Redefines Expectations". In August, I moved to a new role, and I was so scared to get only a "Meets All Expectations". It became a spiralling thought in my head – "If I only get a Meets All this half, next half I'm probably not eligible for promotion, which means my promotion will be delayed until H2 2019, which will only be effective per March 2020. I will be almost 31 then and I'm not yet where I want to be…"
It was so torturing to have these thoughts coming every now and then. My heartbeat automatically became faster. I became snappy towards my clueless husband. That's when I started meditating.
It really helped. I didn't do it as much as I should have, but at least I learned how to visualise that I'm wrapping all of these toxic thoughts in a thin paper, almost like a paper that you use to wrap flowers in, and let it go in the wind. It's gentle and flowy. I didn't stomp over them and throw them away like a baseball. As my mentor phrased it: "Don't be angry towards your inner critic – it will only create another conflict. Thank your inner critic for getting you here, then ask it politely to step aside and invite compassion to take charge now."
She also recommended a book to me: The Compassionate Mind. The book stated that being able to imagine things is the key ability of Homo sapiens that made them strives (e.g. imagining how to transport things easier, voila, they invented wheel). However, this capability comes with a tradeoff: We can also imagine stuff that make us unhappy, such as comparing ourselves with other people or worrying about the future. Animals can show sad emotion when they lose their partners, but no animals will be sad over thinking that they'll probably lose their partners someday.
The book also said that our society is now obsessed with lean thinking (guilty as charge, I used to work at Toyota, the pioneer of lean manufacturing, and The Lean Startup was one of my bibles). Lean obsessed with removing waste, improving productivity, being more efficient.
Every activity, even relaxing by doing your hobby, is considered as a way that will enable you to work more effectively. The company I work for provides tons of benefits with one goal: to enable you to focus on work. Don't worry about what to eat, cutting your hair, or even booking a nice restaurant for your anniversary dinner. Everything is taken care of. The motto of the Benefit department is "Let us take care of you while you take care of the world."
I came across a Harvard Business Review article titled: Why You Should Work Less and Spend More Time on Hobbies. Guess 'why'? Yap, so you can be more creative at work.
This obsession with lean thinking comes with a price: quality of life. People are constantly chasing after something – and after they achieve it, they only ended up wanting more. There's a word for it: affluenza.
Realising that you have a problem is the first step of solving it. So I refuse to suffer from affluenza anymore. When I do relaxing activities like hot chocolate meditation or cooking or gardening on the weekends, it won't be so I'm ready to work more on Monday. It's for me.
It's not as easy, given that my brain has been wired a certain way for years. But I'm trying. And learning.
Few hours before my performance review conversation yesterday, I was anxious. I did some breathing exercise and pivoted my mind towards other things. As I learned from Happiness by Design book: When you pay too much attention to one aspect of your life that you're not satisfied with, you'll continue to be unhappy. To be happier, you simply need to allocate your attention to something else.
So what was the rating I got yesterday? I'm not bothered to tell you, because it doesn't matter. I'm no less or more valuable as a human being because of my rating. Now let's bake some cookies.

It's More Than a Marathon
Monday, April 17th 2017, marked Patriot's Day in Boston, a day when we celebrate the beginnings of the war that led to our independence as a nation, and also the day we hold one of the most recognized sporting events in the world, The Boston Marathon. The marathon, as an event, takes on many shapes and colors and was made even more compelling by the tragedy of April 15, 2013.
The marathon is often regarded as a sporting event, when in fact, it is a social experiment of the largest magnitude, bringing 30,000 runners and millions of spectators along the race route into a symphony of sights, sounds, and in most years celebration.
In 2013, the Marathon Bombing was an event unlike many others, in that the tragedy was so gut wrenching and so personal to all of us in the area, that what rose from the pain and suffering was a better and bigger city, community, and event. The marathon now signifies, every year, our human ability to rise from bitter heartbreak to unite and people, no matter what their race, religion, cause, or motivation, to band together, not unlike the patriots of the revolution, on this day, to pursue a common goal, "to finish".
During the running of the race there are examples of extreme courage, such as a runner on artificial limbs, an elderly man trying to keep his "Boston" streak alive, cancer survivors, or a mother several months pregnant running for the cause she is committed to, whether that is childhood cancer, ALS, or feeding children. Everyone seems to have a mission, some special reason they are participating, yet once the race begins they are as one running down the hills of Hopkinton and up the torturous hills of Newton. There is reinforcement within teams, between friends, and with complete strangers, whose bonds increase with every step and become more critical with every mile.
The crowd's cheers along the route are tantamount to a tide that pushes the running mass forward toward the finish, becoming more like a carnival as well as a celebration. As the race gets closer to the end, the drama increases and individuals begin to struggle, fighting exhaustion, and the possible collapse of their will. Often you see someone, man or woman, black or white, young or more seasoned, reach out and pull the other up, providing words of encouragement and suddenly they become partners in this quest to the finish. A particularly poignant moment occurred this year when a man with a prosthetic leg picked up his guide who had been with him for nine hours on the course and carried her over the finish line.
This is what our patriots fought for and what we as a people stand for, the willingness to engage with people of all races, religions, and ages with a common goal and yet different paths, purposes and perspectives.
The example set by these players in a 26.2-mile drama should be a lesson to us all, that we can find common purpose and if we allow ourselves to trust that outstretched hand, together we can accomplish whatever we chose.

How to stay healthy during the Holidays
My Top 10 easy tips on how to stay healthy during the holidays!
December can be a busy time, with office parties, Christmas meals and drinks with friends, and family gatherings. And all of this means a lot of food and drink! The festive season brings with it a lot of overindulgence (at least for me!) with plenty of eating out, drinking and desserts.
But this doesn't have to mean you give in and let the holiday season take you on an unhealthy ride! There are still things you can do to enjoy the holiday season but still keep your body healthy and take time to look after yourself.
Please share any tips or health tricks you use and keep up in your life, I'd love to know! Leave me a comment down below or on twitter/instagram.
How to stay healthy during the Holidays
Don't forget – this isn't just for fitness enthusiasts! It's just a simple guide on staying healthy and not over indulging over Christmas, without missing out on all the fun!
Keep hydrated
I think this is the most important one, which is why I'm starting off with this! No matter where you are or what you're doing, make sure you stay hydrated with a glass of water. Keep a water bottle with you if you're out and about, or if you're at a meal or drinks session, have a glass of water with you at the table, or make every other one a water! Staying hydrated is so important in general, but even more so if you're drinking alcohol, or eating out a lot, with lots of salty foods.
Eat vegetables and salads first
Whenever I know I'm indulging myself, or going for multiple meals with lots of desserts, I always try and eat the vegetables and salad on my plate first, so that I'm more likely to fill up on healthier things, rather than going back for seconds or getting a dessert!
Don't skip meals
You might be tempted to skip some meals during the day to make up for the big Christmas meals you're going to, or to make up for the calories in the alcohol, but this would be a big mistake! Make sure you eat your meals properly, and eat healthier options like wholemeal pastas and rice, with a balance of vegetables and protein, so that you have enough fuel for your nights out. This also makes it less likely for you to go for a late night snack (or McDonald's!) and also make sure that you have something in your stomach before drinking, which is better for you the next day too!
Have a fitness catch up
People are always more keen to meet up and catch up in the lead up to Christmas, so if you're going for lunch, tea or drinks with a friend, why not go to a fitness class instead? You could go for a yoga or pilates class, or even a spin class if you're feeling motivated!
Eat slowly and enjoy the company
Don't be tempted to wolf down your meals and drinks, but instead eat slowly and enjoy the conversation with friends, family and colleagues! When we eat too fast, we're not as aware of when we feel full, and we're more likely to overeat. Take time to enjoy the festivities, and the food!
Get your beauty sleep where you can
There may be days where you have multiple social events booked up in a row, so get your sleep when you can, and allow yourself to sleep in if you're free! Getting enough sleep is vital for you to keep going during the busy festive season, and we're also more likely to feel hungry and overeat if we're hungry!
Exercise when you can
We're so busy with events that exercise which may be routine any other time of year, can take a back seat and you might not make that yoga class or that run after work. So walk where you can! If you would take the lift, take the stairs. Take the subway or bus? Try to get off a stop early and walk. If you're meeting up with friends after work, why not walk part or all of your way there? Make sure to stay safe though as the winter nights can get dark!
Allow yourself to snack
If you feel hungry during the day, don't stop yourself from having a snack because you think you're going for a high calorie meal or drink after. Instead, when you feel hungry get a cereal bar or a piece of fruit instead, otherwise you're more likely to over compensate and eat not just quicker but more than you would've as well.
Watch your drink
Obvious to state, but harder to do! I'm not much of a drinker, and I'm not afraid to ask for a water or apple juice if someone asks to buy me a drink! Mocktails can be super fun and delicious alternatives to cocktails, minus the calories and hangover! Lighter coloured drinks like a gin and tonic usually contain less calories too, but they can still contain high alcohol content, so be careful! You can also have a glass of water every other drink, which will not only keep you hydrated, but could make sure you don't ruin the next day with a hangover!
Cook whenever you can
You might be eating out a lot, so where you can cook, don't be tempted to get a takeaway or a microwave meal instead! Try and have a balanced meal where you can, and if you have a night in at home, make sure not to limit yourself to just salad, and take protein, carbs and vegetables as well!
Thanks so much for reading, and I hope these tips will be something you can incorporate into your holiday routines! Please share your top tips or struggles as well, I'd love to know what works for you! Leave a comment down below and/or on twitter/instagram, and share the holiday knowledge!
See you in the next one,
5 Comments
I was actually thinking about adopting a healthy lifestyle again but then I thought that I was going to totally eat bad during the holidays.
Your post kinda made me realize that I can still do this even if there is going to be a lot of food involved.
Everything in moderation I guess…
Anna // http://www.stralthy.com
Rina Kay
Thank you so much for reading! I'm so glad, its definitely possible! And the best thing is that its possible to have fun, indulge every now and then, but still keep healthy! Hope it comes in helpful! X
I actually already do this things. I even workout for at least one hour every single day. But catching up on my beauty sleep will be really hard this month. With all the work that I have, parties to go, and Christmas shopping I really don't know when I will sleep.
Rina Kay
That's a great base! Yep- December is always a super busy month for me! In the end, I always sacrifice either a few events or leaving earlier, just to ensure I can enjoy the most important events, and not be exhausted at everything! Good luck!

Well...last night when all the clean clothes had been dumped on the floor and "Psyche" had been turned on, I did something extremely out of character. I IRONED!
Part way through my fourth shirt Doug said, "Can you stop ironing and help me fold now?"
I said "This is the third time in eight years I've ironed. Are you SURE you want to discourage me?"
"NO! I'm sorry! You're right! Keep ironing!!! Sorry! SORRY!"
Yeah. I thought so.

I quit my job at short notice and my ex-manager has said she will not pay me for the 30+ hours I worked this month. I'm currently in Poland. I had a contract with the school and a startup company who do all the administration. Technically, I'm working for the startup company and not the schools. However, the schools have to give the money to the startup company in order for me to get paid. I quit my job in October, and my ex-manager phoned me and convinced me to stay, so I handed in my notice and said I was leaving at Christmas. However, I still wasn't happy there for various reasons and after a meeting with my then manager, I quit the next week.
Do you have any advice on getting paid after quitting, or information on where I can go to get legal advice?

Rio Ferdinand Suggests Club Coutinho Could Join in Premier League
Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has urged Barcelona midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, to make a transfer move to join Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
According to Ferdinand, Coutinho, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich would hundred percent improve Mourinho's side.
Coutinho, a former Liverpool player, left Jurgen Klopp's side in 2018 to join Barcelona in a £130million deal.
The Brazilian could be available this summer transfer window, but Ferdinand believes Tottenham should explore to bring the 27-year-old to Spurs.
"At Liverpool Coutinho was an amazing player, but since he left the club, he hasn't really done it yet," Ferdinand said in an Instagram Q&A on Monday as quoted by Manchester Evening News.
"He struggled at Barcelona, struggled to fit in there, and then he hasn't done amazingly well at Bayern.
"Coming into the Premier League to the right team would be a saviour for him, he needs that.
"I would have said Man United before Bruno Fernandes turned up, but not now. Would he improve Spurs? Yes, he would, 100 percent but not Man United, though."
DAILY POST recalls that Coutinho had drawn interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain in the past.

We had a dual focus today of Frogs and the Olympics. No, not the Frog Olympics, but hmm…that is an interesting idea!
Convergent thinking was all over our first Olympic task: Use the letters GREAT to fill in Olympic related categories. Tough, but the kids really showed their strengths. Afterward, we played "Scratch" with our answers. Fun stuff!!!
Divergent thinking was not difficult at all as the kids created new Olympic events. I can't wait to take a look at what may be the events of the future!
Back to unbreakable frogs! We studied the skeletal systems of frogs today. There are many similar bones in humans. We also spent time with Mrs. Kindschy working on our Frog research. The discussion focused on nonfiction text features, which will become very important as we move on with our research.

New Uses for Old Boxes
You've just moved into your new home—or your kids have opened a ton of Christmas or birthday presents—and now your house is littered with boxes of varying shapes and sizes. Sure, you could recycle them like you usually do (you do recycle cardboard instead of throwing it away, right?) but there are some new uses for old boxes that you may not have considered.
- Costumes – The next time Halloween rolls around, use cardboard boxes to make a creative costume. When every other kid on the block is dressed as Dracula or a princess, dressing up as a washing machine is guaranteed to get the most laughs (and maybe more candy).
- Mail a Package – Boxes that haven't fallen apart yet can be given a second life by carrying a different cargo…via the mail! Send a care package to your nephews in Boston, sell something on eBay or Craigslist and let the box help you out.
- Disposable Tote – As you get dressed or pick up the kids' rooms, you continually face certain items that no one uses, but still manage to stick around and take up space. Keep a large box in your closet and throw in donations as you think of them. When it's full, take it to Goodwill! De-cluttering at its most simple.
- Kitty Comfort – To the internet, it's no secret: cats LOVE cardboard boxes! If your furry friend can't seem to keep her paws off the keyboard, a cat-sized box may work as a kitty magnet. No more hairs on your monitor screen! A shallow box lid also works well as a disposable litter box.
- Organization – Instead of buying expensive decorative storage boxes for your bookshelves, reuse a cardboard box (as long as its still sturdy). Don't like the look of raw cardboard? We don't blame you. Cover the outside of the box with colorful duct tape, fabric, or rope to make it pretty as well as strengthen and protect it.
- Mess Protection – Use leftover cardboard boxes to shield your driveway from spray paint as you tackle home improvement projects in your new place.
- Artwork – Give the kids a set of crayons or markers and turn 'em loose. You can choose to either deconstruct the box into a flat canvas (life-size board game, anyone?) or keep it as a cube and let smaller children color inside it.
- Bookcase backing – Cut cardboard panels to fit the back of your shelving, cover with scrapbook or contact paper and push the pretty panel into the back of your bookshelves. This temporary upgrade will add a fun pop of color to a drab office and is easy to change out when you get sick of it.
- Toy – Every former child knows the box is often more fun than the toy it holds. Use your creative side to turn it into a car, plane, house, castle, puppet booth or anything else your heart desires.
- Fort – A box cutter and a roll of tape are all you need to turn a stack of boxes into a kid's dream. (Or adult's. We're not judging.)
Reusing old materials in fun and creative ways has been around for generations…and for good reason. How many of these new uses for old boxes have you tried? Does this list spark your imagination? Let us know your favorite "upcycling" ideas in the comments section!

'Suicide blonde' kills three people while trying to kill herself
Suicide blonde:
Jeanette Sliwinski, 23, the bi-polar, alcoholic, suicidal, stripper, model, and overall nutcase, attempted to commit suicide by ramming her 2000 Ford Mustang into another car at 87 m.p.h back in 2005. The car she hit contained three friends on a lunch break waiting at a red light. Michael Dahlquist, 39, John Glick, 35, and Douglas Meis, 29, and were all killed on impact. Sliwinski decided to not break from her normal pattern of failure and did not kill herself as intended, but rather broke her ankle.
The trial has been underway, Sliwinski facing first-degree murder charges and possible life in prison. She has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder by reason of insanity and today, the defense presented a pyscologists, Dr. Orest Wasyliw, who tesitified that (surprise, surprise) Sliwinski truly was insane and could not understand the criminality of her actions. Luckily, under cross-examination, he also acknowledged that none of the doctors who saw Sliwinski before the crash diagnosed any problem more severe than depression and possibly alcoholism.
But the defense has five psychiatric experts lined up stating that Sliwinski was insane at the time of the crash. However, intent is not needed for murder. John Decker, a professor at DePaul University College of Law states "You really don't need intent, in the narrow sense, for murder," Decker said. "As long as the person has knowledge that there is a substantial probability that their conduct could bring about a death, that constitutes murder."
Update: She got 8 years for killing three people
Cook County Circuit Judge Garritt Howard, who found Sliwinski guilty but mentally ill on reckless homicide charges Oct. 26, imposed an 8-year prison sentence. Sliwinski will only have to serve four years in prison if she stays out of trouble as she has for more than two years at Cook County Jail while awaiting trial.
Looks as if the "pretty-but-crazy" defense worked like a charm.

Stephanie Holznecht is originally from England. She immigrated here with her family at the age of 19. Stephanie began drawing at the age of 5 and by 12 years of age she could copy a photograph or drawing exactly. Stephanie continued to improve her artistic abilities through high school in England and into college in America, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in graphic design and fine art.
"For ten years I worked as a graphic designer and finally an art director. During this time I continued to draw and paint in the style of realism. I left the life of being an art director to raise a family, all the while perfecting my craft. After my sons had left home and gone on to college, I began taking workshops on abstract art, just to broaden my artist horizons. I fell in love with the freedom abstract art released inside of me, allowing me to pour my emotions onto the canvas and leave behind something intimately personal. I have not looked back since. I continue to try new techniques and still take abstract painting workshops to broaden my knowledge and improve my abilities as an abstract artist. On request I will still do realistic artwork, and of my own volition I enjoy painting the odd sunset, seen from the backyard overlooking the water at my home in northern Wisconsin."
"I have a unique style of painting. I use fluid acrylic paint and matte medium to produce the results you ultimately see. I layer the paint, removing some at each layer, to reveal the colors underneath. I paint from emotion and instinct and I never know exactly where the painting is going to take me. I envelope myself in the moment, and allow all inhibition to fly away, leaving me free to swirl my paint as the mood sees fit. I invest in the creation of a piece of art to convey what I have inside: my thinking, my emotions, my essence and my soul."

Turbine fight divides township
Credit: Luke Edwards | Port Colborne Leader | January 16, 2014 | www.niagarathisweek.com ~~
WAINFLEET – In what Mayor April Jeffs called the most divisive issue she's faced since becoming mayor three years ago, council chambers got heated Tuesday night as residents gave their opinions on the $40,000 grant to Skydive Burnaby's legal fight against the Wainfleet Wind Energy Inc. turbine project.
"I recognize it's a really divided issue," she said. "Unfortunately I think we may have lost sight of the bigger picture. We do believe we're protecting the municipality and we're using every tool in the toolbox to do so."
While no decision on the grant was made Tuesday, council did meet behind closed doors with lawyers before hand to discuss legal options and ramifications.
In December, council voted to give $40,000 to Skydive Burnaby to help with legal costs. The business is currently embroiled in an Environmental Review Tribunal over safety concerns regarding two turbines to be built by Rankin Construction to the rest of Skydive Burnaby. The tribunal is expected to continue into next week.
In opposition to the grant, delegate Joan Anderson said it's not about whether or not turbines are good or bad.
"This is purely a fiscal concern about the use of taxpayer moneys," she said.
With lawyers for Rankin Construction launching legal action against the Township's decision to grant the money, Anderson said the cost could increase drastically.
"Hypothetically this number could very well double," she said.
While Anderson said the debate wasn't about the health and safety concerns of turbines, Andrew Watts said it has everything to do with those concerns.
"My belief is you have done just that, you have tried to protect all Wainfleet residents," he told council.
Watts called the $40,000 grant a "continuation of a fight" the Township launched after doing its own research and coming to its own conclusions.
Under normal circumstances he said he would oppose the municipality spending the money, but when it comes to the turbine debate "these are not normal circumstances."
"(When it comes to fighting turbines) I'd be quite happy for you to spend us into the ground, because if you don't Wainfleet is dead," he said.
Another resident, Dan Augustine, said the latest decision to grant the money to Skydive Burnaby is just another example of a council that "continues to squander and waste taxpayers' hard earned money."
Augustine asked for the resignation of any member of council who voted for the grant, to reverse the decision to grand the money, to come up with a communications plan that doesn't keep residents in the dark, and to take some ethics training.
Finally, he said council should focus on the 6,000 residents of Wainfleet, and not just the turbine opponents.
But Ald. Richard Dykstra accused Augustine of not being at council in support of the entire township.
"Are you here in support of the rest of taxpayers, or are you only in support of Dan Augustine?" Dykstra asked.
"I'm here as a concerned taxpayer," he responded.
Ald. Ted Hessels, who voted against the grant, still said the $40,000 is "nothing compared to what the provincial level at Queen's Park is doing to us."
According to treasurer Robyn Madere, the Township has spend roughly $190,000 on the turbine issue to date. That doesn't include the $40,000 grant to Skydive Burnaby.
Ald. David Wyatt said that by not spending the money and fighting the turbine project the Township could see an annual loss in tax revenue because of the lowering property values due to turbines.

EPOS Audio Summit – 3 Day Virtual Event – Starts 10th November
EPOS Audio Summit – 3 Day Virtual Event – Starts 10th November
Genesys leads the way in customer experience
Global leaders in the world of omnichannel customer experiences, Genesys recently introduced a new solution to accelerate their rather impressive lead in the CX space. The company's new routing engine unveiled at CX18, uses state-of-the-art artificial intelligence to match employee capabilities to customer needs, for the perfect match with every call centre interaction.
Their predictive routing service is just one of the many reasons why Genesys are storming ahead of other companies in the customer experience industry. In fact, at the beginning of May, the company announced that their market share has continued to grow with 700 organisations moving into the Genesys Customer Experience Platform since the beginning of 2017. This means that the company currently has 65% of the most lucrative brands in the world on their roster, including companies like Westpac, Coca-Cola, Atos, and Heineken.
The wave of customers embracing Genesys customer experience (CX) systems seems to be growing at a phenomenal rate – and it's no surprise when you consider their state-of-the-art solutions. The predictive routing system, for instance, allows today's call centres to avoid relying on static decision tree logic when it comes to serving customers. Thanks to AI and real-time data, the system automatically discovers important elements that could influence the success of any conversation between a customer and employee.
With machine learning at its core, predictive routing constructs models from customer profiles, and sends the right client to the perfect agent, to enable more lucrative interactions for the business. According to one communications and media company from Canada, Rogers Communications the system has already increased their retention numbers by almost 3%, and reduced handling time by 7%. According to the VP of Enterprise Planning for Rogers, Kevin Jolliffe, predictive routing could be the key to aligning customer intent with agent abilities.
Rogers isn't the only company to see success either. Many other Genesys customers have been making serious progress. For instance, one mobile telecoms operator in Europe improved it's NPS by four points, and reduced handling time by 3%.
The new predictive routing technology introduced by Genesys is just one example of how the company constantly pushes boundaries to serve their customers. Today, the brand has more than 95% customer retention, and as more organisations move to the cloud, many are embracing the value that Genesys can offer. For instance, Coca-Cola managed to reduce their contact centre expenditure by up to 50% with Genesys systems.
With predictive routing, Genesys will be able to continue serving their clients with cutting edge solutions for customer experience. According to the President of Genesys, Tom Eggemeier, the growing momentum in their customer portfolio just goes to show how confident the market is in their innovative systems and customer service.
Predictive Routing from Genesys is now available for the PureEngage portfolio, and it works across webchat, social, voice, and text channels – ideal for the omnichannel experience. With a microservices architecture at its core, Genesys hopes to roll capability for predictive routing out to PureCloud and PureConnect by the end of this year, as part of the broader range of AI-focused innovations.
The predictive routing solution works alongside existing solutions like Genesys' Kate – the company's virtual assistant strategy. With so much innovation to offer, it's easy to see why Frost & Sullivan named Genesys the 2018 contact company of the year for north American companies, and why interest in the brand continues to grow.

Greg Combet quits politics for personal reasons
FORMER federal Labor frontbencher Greg Combet has announced he is quitting politics for personal reasons.
Mr Combet quit the frontbench last week after the Labor Party voted to remove Julia Gillard as prime minister and reinstate Kevin Rudd.
He was one of six Gillard government ministers to tender his resignation after the Wednesday night leadership ballot, but he now joins Peter Garrett and Craig Emerson in leaving parliament altogether.
He will retire from politics at the upcoming election, citing his reasons as personal and having nothing to do with the Labor leadership change.
But he says the spill provided a catalyst for the decision.

It's sad.
Unmotivated adults in Kentucky's public school system are using the state's economic situation as a smoke screen in an attempt to undermine implementation of Senate Bill 1 from the 2009 Regular Legislative Session (SB-1).
The situation is apparently so bad, and so misrepresented, that Kentucky Commissioner of Education Terry Holliday has found it necessary to officially alert members of the Kentucky legislature about what is happening.
SB-1 requires Kentucky to implement a much better state assessment program – one aligned to what kids will need in the future for college and careers. If schools want to do well under this new system, they are going to have to make some important changes.
However, Holliday's letter indicates a disturbing number of educators in this state don't want to put effort into changes that will improve education of our children. Quite simply, as the commissioner's letter points out, some of the adults in Kentucky's school system prefer the lesser demands of the status quo, which continues to fail many students.
Sadly, this really is no surprise. It's a natural outcome of a system that runs mostly like a monopoly, tending to attract people of lower motivation who don't like incentives to improve.
This is not to say all, or even many, of our educators are unmotivated. I know that is absolutely not the case. But, clearly, enough of Kentucky's educators are standing in the way of progress that now the education commissioner feels it necessary to formally point it out.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is all set for its next Phase (or whatever they call it next), as Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige reveals that they already have 20 films are already lined up after Avengers 4. There are still five films to go before the ongoing Phase 3 wraps up for the successful superhero franchise series, but the film studio is already thinking several steps ahead, proving they have no plans of slowing down.
Entering their 10th year since entering the business of movie making, Marvel Studios is looking to celebrate their milestone year with three films in 2018 Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp. But as we slowly inch our way towards the end of the MCU as we know it, the beginning of something new is coming. And while Feige and his cohorts are keen on focusing on the task they have at hand, that does not mean that they dont have a clear path in terms of where the franchise is heading in the long run.
Talking to Vanity Fair in light of the media outlets coverage of the MCU, Feige shares that they already have a good idea where the MCU will go in the years to come with 20 more films already in development. Comparing that to the pace that they have taken in the last decade, its safe to say that all the upcoming projects will cover at least 10 more years worth of storytelling for the popular franchise:
22 movies in, and weve got another 20 movies on the docket that are completely different from anything thats come beforeintentionally.More than just the number of projects, what is more interesting is the last bit from Feiges comment, saying that all those movies will be unique from each other. Despite their successes, some critics feel that Marvel films are a little bit too formulaic. While we do not know if this is a direct answer to that critique or not, changing things up will only help the MCU sustain peoples interest in their films. Furthermore, it is also a good way to combat the so-called superhero fatigue.
Another interesting thing to consider is the possibility of other Marvel characters, such as the ones currently with Fox, eventually coming back to Marvel Studios. Despite sales talks between Disney and Fox are currently stalled right now, we know that Feige is still eyeing to have his hands on the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Should the merger eventually push through in the future, it will be curious how the mutants and the iconic foursome will factor into the bigger MCU picture.
As of now, we can only speculate about the future of the MCU, especially with Avengers 4 still a mystery in itself. We do know, however, that James Gunns Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 will set-up a lot of things for the MCUs future including expanding the world by giving certain characters their own respective spinoffs. In addition to that, Tom Hollands Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel will usher us into the new era of the franchise. Its safe to say, well get to know more about it when the still-untitled Avengers film debuts in two years as a lot of things are currently hinging on what goes down in the epic blockbuster.

Refrigeration has had a major impact on many aspects of life. This process of moving heat from one place to another has helped humans to do things that were practically impossible in the past. Refrigeration is used for industrial and domestic refrigerators, cryogenics and air conditioning. If finding the best commercial refrigeration is your aim, you should know a few facts about the subject for you to understand and thereby make the informed choices.
Without the current technology of refrigeration, you would have had to use ice for commercial use. Ice is good but it can only last for a short while before it melts. In addition, ice is not suitable for certain applications that could be affected by moisture, such as certain chemicals. These disadvantages spurred the invention of other methods of refrigeration that were thought to be more reliable at the time.
Chemical refrigeration, discovered in the 16th century, pioneered artificial refrigeration. This process was created when potassium nitrate or sodium nitrate was added to water, lowering the temperature of water and creating a refrigeration environment for cooling substances. People used this method to chill cakes and wine.

The person credited with having initiated commercial refrigeration in the US was Alexander Twining. Since then, more advanced refrigeration techniques have been developed and it has become big business. What is more important is the impact that commercial refrigeration has had on other facets of life.
If you think about the food industry, you cannot imagine what it would be to have to produce a certain type of food en mass and having to eat it immediately. In fact, mass production would not have been viable. If you own a food business, you would be producing just enough to satisfy your customers for the immediate time, never thinking about the future. If a catastrophic even such as a drought happened, you would have no food during that period. There would be global hunger.
Another field that would have faced difficulty would have been the medical field. Commercial refrigeration is crucial in keeping some temperature-sensitive medicines functional. The blood and the organ banks would also become useless without finding the best commercial refrigeration.

This would be the same story in the breweries and beverages sector. The need to eliminate stale drinks increased the demand for more modern and consumer-based refrigeration. Commercial ice makers initiated the transition to refrigeration machines.
Your meat packing business can now flourish because of the success of commercial refrigeration. It sounds even better because you will not be forced to use chemicals that could endanger the lives of your customers. You can find clean and safe commercial refrigeration systems.
Today, you can find commercial refrigeration that enables you to save energy and thus you will save much money from your refrigeration needs. Your products will remain fresh without having to spend too much.
You must also consider the effect of your refrigeration activities to the environment. You should know that finding the best commercial refrigeration is possible if you want to carry out air conditioning of your business premises such as large storage warehouses and restaurants. You can apply commercial refrigeration to liquefy gases, purify compressed air, maintain chemical processes, temper steel, and transportation of temperature-sensitive products.
Keeping foodstuff and other products in controlled environments is a practice that has been in place for millennia. However, you have the benefit of using the most advanced technology known to humans. What you must do is find the best refrigeration system to make the most out of the technology. With the few facts that you have learnt here, it will be easy to make your choice.

30/01/2020 | 11:25:19 Thank you Mr President. I'd like to start by looking at the basis on which this report was produced. Paragraph 9 of this report highlights a number of issues. First it highlights that Azerbaijan is reforming its judicial system including the prison system and the criminal justice system. Second it highlights that Azerbaijan is making progress on judicial independence and the reform of the prosecutor's office. Thirdly it highlights that the number of people being arrested is declining and that... 29/01/2020 | 10:59:18 Thank you Mr President. I welcome this report and the resolution and recommendations. Let me start by raising two points. First the right to freedom of thought conscience and religion is a fundamental right that requires comprehensive protection. Religion of belief are crucial to our identity. Asking one not to act in accordance to one's religion or belief is contrary to existing international legal standards. A soldier may kill in accordance with existing laws of war and armed conflict but... 28/01/2020 | 17:17:11 Thank you very much Madam President. I'd like to start off as indeed other speakers have by congratulating the rapporteur Lord George FOULKES on an excellent report and for the comprehensive way in which this issue has been tackled. I think of particular interest to me was the way in which he set out in individual countries what is happening and how that has has come through in terms of what has happened to individual journalists. The particular thing that struck me was the situation in Malta... 28/01/2020 | 10:50:03 Thank you, Mr President. I would like to refer people to the report and to paragraph 127. It says in the report: "the need for continuing reforms of the judiciary is clear and recognised." It goes on to say it is undeniable that the Polish justice system and judiciary are and have been facing systemic problems and challenges that affect the rule of law, especially with regard to the efficiency of the administration of justice. So what we are talking about here is not challenging the need for... 04/10/2019 | 11:03:10 Thank you, Madam President. I congratulate my fellow colleague Martin WHITFIELD for taking over this report and for presenting it. And I'm sure, having looked through it, there is a lot of interest to all of us in this report. In particular, I was struck by the amount of time that was given to the the provision of language training and I think that that is an important part of this report and of the the agenda that is here. So there is a lot that we can learn from this report and a lot of...

Reconstructing lineage hierarchies of the distal lung epithelium using single cell RNA-seq
Treutlein, B., Brownfield, D.G., Wu, A.R. et al.
The mammalian lung is a highly branched network, in which the distal regions of the bronchial tree transform during development into a densely packed honeycomb of alveolar air sacs that mediate gas exchange. Although this transformation has been studied by marker expression analysis and fate-mapping, the mechanisms that control the progression of lung progenitors along distinct lineages into mature alveolar cell types remain obscure, in part due to the limited number of lineage markers and the effects of ensemble averaging in conventional transcriptome analysis experiments on cell populations. We used microfluidic single cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on 198 individual cells at 4 different stages encompassing alveolar differentiation to measure the transcriptional states which define the developmental and cellular hierarchy of the distal mouse lung epithelium. We empirically classified cells into distinct groups using an unbiased genome-wide approach that did not require a priori knowledge of the underlying cell types or prior purification of cell populations. The results confirmed the basic outlines of the classical model of epithelial cell type diversity in the distal lung and led to the discovery of many novel cell type markers and transcriptional regulators that discriminate between the different populations. We reconstructed the molecular steps during maturation of bipotential progenitors along both alveolar lineages and elucidated the full lifecycle of the alveolar type 2 cell lineage. This single cell genomics approach is applicable to any developing or mature tissue to robustly delineate molecularly distinct cell types, define progenitors and lineage hierarchies, and identify lineage-specific regulatory factors.

text: The Van Buren County Road Commission is hoping to fill in the public next week about its need for new road funding. The last of three public information meetings on an August ballot proposal for a new millage will be Tuesday, July 24 at the Van Buren Conference Center in Lawrence. The meeting will run from 6 to 8 p.m. The road commission tells us on hand will be engineers who will give a Power Point presentation regarding the proposed millage, along with a review of the current road conditions, the current road funding, and the intent of the millage. The road commission is asking voters for an additional three mills for 12 years. That would work out to about $15 per month for the average property owner. The Van Buren County Road Commission tells us road funding is grossly inadequate under old models still in place. Right now, about 67% of the roads in the county are classified as being in poor condition. Everyone is invited to next Tuesday's meeting to hear more.

I modelled this to show the human attributes of strength and reliability. This would look great on your desk or shelf to remind you of how much others value your support and strength.
It would be an ideal gift for someone upon whom you rely and admire for their strength and support.
This Atlas statue is modelled in 'low poly style' based upon the Classical Greek legend of Atlas holding up the world. Modelled by me but inspired by the classical statue of Atlas, the Farnese Atlas at the Naples Archeological Museum.
This Statue is 200mm (8 inches) tall x 90mm (3.5 inches) x 90mm (3.5 inches) and is printed in PLA Bio-Resin - a hard, waterproof, recyclable, bio-degradable resin made from corn starch.

Information on Hiring a Workers Compensation Lawyer in Grand Haven
When injured on the job, there are many questions you may have. You may be unsure of who is responsible for your injuries and medical bills. You may also wonder what will happen with the wages you are missing out on because you cannot work. When injured on the job, it is important to follow the correct steps. There are many rules and regulations when it comes to receiving worker's compensation. Many people make the mistake of believing they can handle their case on their own. They often end up settling for far less than they would if they had a any on their side to protect their rights.
When an accident first happens on the job, it is up to you to report the injury to your immediate supervisor. He or she will start the process for your claim. You should also make sure you get to a doctor as soon as you can so you can be checked. Though you do have the right to see your own doctor, you need to understand you will also be required to see your employer's doctor as well. Unfortunately, there is no way of getting around this and failure to report to the doctor will result in your claim being denied.
In these types of injuries, it often becomes stressful for the injured party because they feel they are given the run around with the company. This is where seeing your own doctor and working with an attorney can make a big difference. Even if your company denies your workers compensation claim, you still have the right to pursue for compensation through the courts.
As a part of the steps you will need to take, you will also be required to go through drug and alcohol testing. This testing will ensure that no illegal substances were in your system and could have caused the accident. This is also a step you have no choice in. If you do not take the test or fail it, you will be denied your claim.
If you are dealing with an injury from work, you need a Workers Compensation Lawyer. Contact the office of Bleakley Law and allow them to assist you with your case. They will be glad to work with you, to help you get the compensation you deserve to
