The Hoyas (15-9, 7-7 Big East) started off the weekend with a strong effort against the Pirates, riding an explosive third quarter to a blowout victory. Georgetown led 41-30 at halftime, sealing the game by dominating the third quarter, outscoring Seton Hall 28-12 in the period.
"That's always good, when we can go deep in our bench and everyone can take part in the game and so I just thought that we came out very focused, very disciplined," Georgetown Head Coach Natasha Adair said. "I just felt like we were clicking on all cylinders in that game for the most part."
Senior forward Faith Woodard scored a team-high 19 points, attacking the rim throughout the game and converting 7-of-8 free throw attempts. Sophomore guard Dorothy Adomako — returning to the starting lineup after coming off the bench for one game — added 18 points.
Still, the most noteworthy performance for the Hoyas came from senior forward Cynthia Petke, who was aggressive early and often on her way to a season-high 17 points. Petke, who averages only 4.7 points per game, scored 11 points in the first quarter alone. She was aggressive in the post and converted several outside jump shots.
"What I really fell in love [with] about Cynthia and her game and why I thought she'd fit in to what we're doing is because of her blue-collar mentality. She is a worker, she's fearless on the glass, and she does have the ability to score," Adair said. "She's really trusting it and trusting the process and embracing her role. It's been a big bonus for us for sure."
Sophomore guard Dionna White, who leads the team with 15.2 points per game, struggled to score against Seton Hall, going scoreless in the first half before finishing with just five points on 2-of-10 shooting from the field. Despite the poor shooting, White contributed with nine rebounds and five assists, and her teammates stepped up to replace her normal scoring output.
The lopsided score allowed the Hoyas' stars to rest for the entire fourth quarter, as Adair was able to extend her rotation and give playing time to 12 different players, including freshman walk-on guard Marvellous Osagie-Erese, an East Orange, N.J., native who played only a few miles away from her hometown in front of family and friends.
"For her to be able to get in and contribute — I think I called four plays for her, I was just trying to get her a basket. But what makes me smile even more is that the bench was ready to erupt, and you don't see that a lot with these walk-ons and everyone embracing them," Adair said.
On Sunday, the Hoyas traveled to New York City to face the Red Storm. After an even first quarter in which both teams scored 18 points, Georgetown was unable to recover from a second-quarter scoring drought. Over a seven-minute span, the Red Storm went on a 17-0 run, opening up a 37-24 halftime lead.
"I thought we started strong. I thought we opened up the floor a little bit and saw Dorothy attacking, saw Faith attacking. But my hat goes off to St. John's. On their floor, they are a championship team and I thought they turned it up and we stepped back on our heels a little bit," Adair said.
The Hoyas made a final comeback attempt, going on a 10-0 run early in the fourth quarter and eventually cutting the lead to 59-54 with two minutes left. However, their efforts fell short as the Red Storm found their offensive rhythm to close out the game.
Next weekend, the Hoyas host their final home games of the season, facing Butler on Friday at 7 p.m. before welcoming Xavier on Saturday at 2 p.m

Move over Aston Martin, Triumph has announced a new partnership that features two of its new models in the upcoming film, No Time To Die, the 25th installment in the James Bond series set to be released April 2020.
Related: Triumph's Scrambler 1200 XE Takes On NORRA's Mexican 1000
Triumph specially configured Tiger 900 and Scrambler 1200 models for use by the film's stunt team in action sequences. Triumph is no stranger to the silver screen, having been used by several top actors in a number of blockbuster films, notably Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible, Chris Pratt in Jurassic World, and, of course, Steve McQueen in The Great Escape. Had Captain Virgil "The Cooler King" Hilts been on either of the two bikes 007 has access to in No Time To Die, he might just have completed his escape.
Don't expect the typical gratuitous product placement beauty shots for these Triumphs. According to _No Time To Die_'s stunt coordinator Lee Morrison, the crew put their preproduction Tiger 900s into full ADV mode in three locations. "I have to say that we have literally thrown everything at them," he says. "Big craggy sharp rocks, deep boggy mud, high speeds, big jumps, and huge climbs and descents across a variety of conditions. The Tigers really have stood up to the task incredibly well, with no mechanical issues, and to me this really proves their go-anywhere credentials."
Triumph unveiled its new 2020 Tiger 900 adventure motorcycle in early December with more power, more off-road capability, and more high-tech gadgets that are sure to impress even the gadget-master James Bond himself. Astute fans of Her Majesty's top secret agent might be quick to note that this will not be Bond's first appearance with a Triumph. Sean Connery drove a yellow 1970 Triumph Stag in Diamonds Are Forever, the seventh film based on Ian Fleming's MI6 agent.
No Time To Die is set for an April 10, 2020, release date in the United States while the rest of the world can go see it as early as April 2.

The New York Rangers yesterday made it official that they have traded four players to the Providence Reds of the American Hockey League for goalkeeper Ed Giacomin.
The Rangers sent goalie Marcel Paille, defenceman Aldo Guidolin, forward Don McGregor and a player to be named later to the Reds.
Giacomin, 25, is considered to be one of the brightest netminding prospects in the AHL. He played 59 games for Providence last season, compiling a 3.84 goals-against average for a very poor Providence club. He has been with the Reds for five years and has a lifetime average of 3.65 with them.
General Manager Emile Francis said, "Ed has been one of the top prospects outside the NHL for some time now. It's no secret that three other NHL clubs have also been after him."
It is known for sure that both Toronto and Detroit made substantial offers to the Reds for Giacomin. The Detroit offer was said to be in the neighbourhood of $70,000. Toronto was apparently dangling a couple of juniors and some cash as well.
Paille played 39 games with the Rangers last year, splitting duties with Jacques Plante. Now 32, he has spent the bulk of his career in the AHL. He has played 107 NHL games, all with the Rangers, to this point. He played for Providence in 1957-58 when it was a Ranger farm club.
Guidolin will be 33 next month. The 6-foot, 200 pound defenceman has played 182 NHL games, all with the Rangers. His last NHL appearance was in the 1955-56 season. He was with the Baltimore Clippers last season.
McGregor, 26, was also with Baltimore last season, scoring 23 goals. He is a career minor-leaguer, except for a cup of coffee with the Rangers in 1963-64.
The player to be named later is thought be forward Jim Mikol, 26. He split the past season between New York and St. Paul of the CPHL.
Pierre Pilote wins Norris
Pierre Pilote of the Chicago Black Hawks has been named the winner of the James Norris Memorial Trophy, awarded to the top defenceman in the NHL. This is the third consecutive year Pilote has won the award.
The ten-year NHL veteran finished 14 points ahead of second-place finisher Jacques Laperriere of Montreal. Both Pilote and Laperriere were named to the NHL first all-star team this season.
Pilote receives $1,000 for winning the award, plus $25o for leading the second-half voting. Bill Gadsby of Detroit finished third, followed by Tim Horton of Toronto, Marcel Pronovost of Detroit and Carl Brewer of the Leafs.
Pilote set a record for points in a season by a defenceman this season with 59. His 14 goals was a career high.
- Al Arbour of the Rochester Americans has been named the winner of the Eddie Shore Plaque as outstanding defenceman in the American Hockey League.
- Toronto forward Andy Bathgate says that he isn't sure what the future holds for him. He says it all depends on how his broken left thumb heals over the summer.
- A crowd of over 15,000 lined the streets of Niagara Falls to cheer on the Memorial Cup-winning Niagara Falls Flyers.

I know you might be thinking "is copper even trendy?" Well, not necessarily. I would like to believe that copper has always been a classic and timeless color—but it is often neglected in the menswear department. We usually go for black, navy blue, white and grey. The closest we can get to this color scheme is beige or dark brown.
However, when you inject this color in your outfit—you need to either go hard or go home. Since copper has such a distinct color, it has to complemented with similar hues for it to work. Whenever I would wear this color, I would always go for beige trousers and match it with another piece with a similar tone. Copper provides such a sophisticated but understated element of "cool" to any look—so try it out and see how it works for you!

Analysis by the BBC's State Department correspondent Barbara Plett Usher places responsibility for Tuesday's reported chemical attack in rebel-held Khan Sheikhoun, north-west Syria, on President Donald Trump for not having engaged in a campaign of regime change in the country.
The piece for Britain's state-owned, tax funded broadcaster briefly acknowledges that the culprit for the use of chemical weapons has not yet been determined, reporting merely that Syrian President Dr. Bashar al-Assad had been "blamed". Rather than placing blame on any of President Trump's actions while in office, the BBC report instead finds fault with the President for not having taken the U.S. to war with the Syrian government in the first months of his presidency — and presumably Syria's Russian allies with it.
Noting, "There is an argument that the Trump administration's 'hands-off' approach to Bashar al-Assad emboldened the Syrian President to carry out atrocities", the article cites perennial Trump critic Senator John McCain who, amongst his other frequent attacks on President Trump, called his Syria policy "disgraceful".
The BBC notes, in particular, McCain's criticism of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who said the future of Syria's governance was a matter for the Syrian people.
Usher's piece reports President Trump's policy towards Syria has sat on the "back burner" while the new White House has dealt with other more pressing issues at home. The position appears to be broadly in keeping with previous public comments by President Trump on the country including a 2013 Tweet where he called on then President Barack Obama to not attack Syria and to deal with domestic issues instead.
Indeed, the report notes Trump's present arms-length policy isn't much of a development from the ultimate position of the Obama years, which was initially enthusiastic to enact regime change in Syria but backed off when it became apparent that this would entail conflict with Russia.
Despite the bold claims in the headline and opening paragraphs the piece later concedes: "To what degree, if any, Trump has contributed to Assad's sense of impunity will remain a matter of debate."

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- As Oracle and PeopleSoft send lawyers to the Justice Department to argue over their merger battle, they're also sending salespeople.
The companies are competing to sell Justice a major new software management system for financial and purchasing management that could be worth about $30 million. The bidding process started in February, months before Oracle's June 6 hostile offer to acquire PeopleSoft, say Justice department officials.
Word of the contract comes as Justice extends its review of Oracle's
The pending purchase might cause a conflict for the department, though observers said it's not likely to be a significant problem.
"The reality is that this deal is quite small in the grand scheme of things," said Chicago antitrust lawyer Hillard Sterling. "It's doubtful that the DOJ would shape its regulatory approach to curry favor from one vendor over another."
Neither Justice nor the companies would disclose details of the proposed deal. "We do not conform or deny that we are in negotiations with customers until a deal is closed," said Steve Swasey, a spokesman for PeopleSoft. Jennifer Glass, an Oracle spokeswoman, declined to comment.
One analyst who asked not to be identified said he was told the value of the deal was about $30 million over several years, and that several other companies are also bidding.
The presence of a pending software contract might have been a factor in the week-long exchange between Justice and the Federal Trade Commission over which department would run the antitrust probe of the proposed takeover, Sterling said. Oracle advised both departments of the bid on June 12, and Justice said June 19 that it would take over the case.
"It's impossible to tell what's happening behind the curtain," Sterling said.
A Justice purchasing official would not give specifics of the bids but said the decision, which was to be made in July, would probably now be put off at least a month.
"We just want to make sure what we get works, and will be available to us for many years," said Stephen Denny, assistant procurement services director in Justice's management division. "I haven't been thinking about the (antitrust investigation). We have so many other things to be thinking about. Maybe it's a naïve decision, but I'm hoping that things will be clear by the time we make our purchasing decision."
The system is expected to replace a hodgepodge of older financial software that's spread across the department's roughly three-dozen branches. Denny said the goal is to run the entire department under one modern financial and purchasing system.
Oracle and PeopleSoft are bidding in part because they're among the few companies that have completed a lengthy certification process to sell financial systems to the government.
"Going forward, the DOJ needs to be extra careful to avoid any appearance of impropriety," Sterling said. "At this point, it's probably considering the process of using another vendor, but that also poses risks, since a major tenet of PeopleSoft's claim is that there are no other software alternatives in the market."

The London bus network is kept under regular review. As part of this, we develop proposals for changes to services.
We recently consulted on proposals to introduce new route 324 between Stanmore and Brent Cross and, after considering responses, have decided to go ahead with the new route.
Starts: 23 October 2010.
Buses will run between Stanmore station and Brent Cross Tesco every 20 minutes, seven days a week, and will provide:
The service will operate 'Hail and Ride' on Old Church Lane, Abercorn Road, St Andrews Drive and Culver Grove in Stanmore and Colindeep Lane in Colindale. Buses will stop at any safe point on these roads. Indicate to the driver when you wish to board, and ring the bell when you would like to get off.
As with all new services, we will carefully monitor route 324 once it has started operating.

Do you sell on eBay?
Trying to figure out how to drive more sales?
Then you need to optimize your listings properly.
The reality is that there are hundreds of thousands of eBay listings which aren't optimized.
And they wonder why they don't get sales!
Sound familiar? Don't worry.
I'm going to be showing you how to optimize eBay listings to make more sales if you keep reading.
Writing eBay listing titles that draw clicks
What's one of the first things customers will see when browsing eBay?
The title of your listing.
This is why it's easily the most important piece of copy you will write when selling on eBay.
It's too easy to write a generic and boring title, hit the save button, and expect money to roll in.
It just isn't going to happen.
That's why you need to try out some of the following headline writing strategies to craft epic eBay listing titles.
What's the benefit of using the product?
I'll be elaborating more on how to use this strategy within an eBay description, but it's also incredible for titles.
While I'm sure the products you sell have awesome features, it's not why customers are truly interested in buying something.
They actually desire how the product will benefit them.
The benefit of any given product will depend on the exact item and the audience buying it.
Check out the title for this bed set, for example:
Why would someone want to purchase a new duvet and pillow set?
To stay comfortable.
That's precisely why "Ultra-Soft" is used in the title.
You don't have to ramble about all of the benefits of what you're selling as a couple of words can increase click-throughs and get users interested.
Here's another example except from a laptop listing:
Using "Portable Lightweight Laptop" appeals to students and professionals who need a computer they can carry on-the-go.
Anyone that works remotely or moves around knows who annoying lugging around a heavy laptop can be.
So, a lightweight design that's easy to carry is one of the main benefits of this ASUS model.
Take the time to research why your customers are buying from you and include relevant keywords that some up these reasons in listing titles.
Offer as much detail as possible
The title for your eBay listing is an excellent opportunity to let customers know product details before they click.
This will help attract more serious buyers as some users may click-through to read the description which you can summarize beforehand in the title.
Additionally, creating a detailed title is much more interesting and captivating.
Check out the title to this listing for a gaming PC to see what I mean:
They list the various specs of the computer in the title to give customers the precise information about the model.
This avoids users clicking through and not taking any action because they realize it wasn't the specs they wanted afterward.
Similarly, you can add detail like size, color, or material because users are regularly searching for those things.
Add brand names for SEO
Many people will search eBay for very specific brands that they enjoy.
This is why you want to ensure that the brand name of any products you sell are clearly stated in the title.
It doesn't matter if you're dropshipping, selling a proprietary product, or reselling thrift store items. All of these can include brand names.
Once you've written a great eBay listing title, it's time to move onto the description.
This brings me to my next point.
How to write eBay listing descriptions that are irresistible
Imagine being able to write descriptions so good that your customers would be drooling at the mouth waiting to buy…
That can be a reality.
You simply have to use the correct strategies to hook emotions, make your product stand out, and push customers along the sales funnel.
Here's how.
Benefits are more important than features
Features are the factual pieces of information about a product.
Think sizing, color, fabric, etc.
Customers need to know features so they can purchase the correct item, but it's not what inspires the purchase.
There are much deeper and primal desires that force people to buy things. These are the benefits.
Here's the description for an expensive pair of dress shoes. Can you spot the benefits?
If you need some help, the main benefits include:
- Being able to pair the shoes with a suit, slacks, khakis, or jeans.
- An insole that naturally molds to your foot for a custom fit.
- Recraftable which means customers can get the shoes easily fixed instead of replacing them.
While I would argue as a copywriter that there was plenty of room to elaborate, they did a good job and much better than the average listing.
Here's another example. This is the eBay description for a laptop:
This used laptop can "easily play any AAA title at 60+ FPS" which appeals to gamers looking to play their favorite games smoothly.
If I wrote the description for this listing, I would've also touched on:
- The battery life can last through long gaming sessions so you never get interrupted.
- The backlit keyboard ensures that you can type, work, and game easily in the evening.
- The large 17.3″ high definition screen makes any movie, video, or game more enjoyable.
See where I'm going with this?
You always want to elaborate on the experience a feature will give because that's what customers actually care about.
Use a call to action
People are lazy.
We like being told what to do whether we realize it or not.
This is because it takes thinking out of the equation and lets us move to the end result faster.
It is especially apparent in e-commerce and most forms of advertising.
Heck, there's even this amazing book on user experience I read one time called Don't Make Me Think.
The general principle is that you want to make your sales funnel, your eBay listing in this case, as brainless as possible for the user.
They shouldn't have to question anything or feel confused as that slows down the process of them adding to cart and reaching checkout.
This is also why a call to action is so effective.
These are phrases or words that tell customers to take the next step.
You can see this used on a banner within the following eBay listing:
"Shop Now" is a simple call to action that entices users to click through to see special offers.
You can use CTA's in this way or place it as text within the description. Some call to action ideas include:
- Buy now
- Order now
- Add to cart
- Don't wait
- Get it before it's too late
- Order while supply lasts
- Change your life today
Final thoughts on eBay listing optimization
eBay is a great platform to expand an e-commerce business because you sell products on it for free.
However, you need to write excellent copy if you wish to drive serious sales.
It all begins with the title of your listings.
Focus on making them descriptive, benefit-oriented, and don't neglect brand names as it's effective for SEO.
Next, write descriptions which elaborate on the benefits of using a product while using a call to action for pushing users closer towards the sale.
What's your #1 tip for optimizing eBay listings?

The IDF soldier who was injured by a bomb thrown by Arab rioters in the Gaza Strip Sunday has been identified as Yoadd Zaguri, an American immigrant from Los Angeles currently living in Haifa.
Hundreds of Arab rioters gathered on the Gaza-Israel border Sunday evening, hurling rocks and explosive devices at Israeli soldiers while rolling burning tires at the security fence.
An explosive device thrown at a group of soldiers exploded near Zaguri, injuring him.
Doctors say Zaguri suffered an injury to the esophagus, and had to undergo surgery to treat his injuries.

Even though all Chinese cultural aspects were oppressed during New Order (1966-1998), but many of them still survived. Linguistically, especially in Java and Eastern Indonesia, most of Indonesian Chinese have lost their ancestral languages and assimilated into Bahasa Indonesia or local languages they live, while most of them also changed their name in order to be more Indonesian sounding, and even most of Indonesian Chinese have adhered Christianity as their belief, however, after reform era in 1998 which signed the end of New Order, Chinese cultures seem to get a new breathe in Indonesia.
Not just Barongsai (Lion dance), Liong (Dragon dance), recognition of Confucianism as one of recognized religions, or wayang potehi and Imlek (Chinese New Year) as national holiday which can be seen nowadays, but also some others such as paper house burning or –if I am not mistaken- Co Kong Tik (I don't know what language it is..Hokkien or Teochiew, but surely it's not Mandarin). It is a Chinese tradition related to death people. This tradition is usually held after 100 days someone passed away. The deceased's family then prepare his or her 'new eternal house' right after their family member kicked the bouquet of daisy. The 'house' is made of selected papers, even if so, some of the papers are imported directly from China.
In Semarang, I ever visited a paper house maker in Gang Cilik (Small alley) within Semarang Chinatown (we call Pecinan). He has been producing the eternal house since 1960s and his ancestors were also the eternal house makers when they were still in China. Talking about the size, the eternal house depends on family's financial abilities. Though actually it is not a must, but some still believe that eternal house burning represent their love to the deceased. As the maker said, at least for the smallest eternal house, it costs IDR 1 million, while the largest one can be more than IDR 10 millions up. The house is usually complete with furnitures, rooms, servants and it is made in perfectly detailed as the family requested. Besides house, they also prepare vehicles, money box, clothes (all are made of papers), and some deceased's belongings, as well as paper money for his or her in eternity. There is a different view between Confucians and Buddhist. As far as I know, for Buddhist, house paper burning here is intended to fasten the deceased's reincarnation (correct me if there's a mistake).
The eternal house burning is held in a Chinese Temple (we call here Klenteng), and it can last for hours (in my experience, more than three hours) or in some cases, one day from morning until evening with some breaks.
In the temple, there have been prepared the eternal house which looks as if the real house with all its properties, along with the eyes covered gods (which will be pulled out when the ceremony starts) and long tables with offerings whose numbers similar to the deceased children.
The rites was started by praying led by the priest and the language spoken during pray was Chinese and Pali, as well as translated into Bahasa Indonesia. What I remembered here was praying several times in different directions, then followed by giving respect to their deceased family and stopped a while for having dinner along with anyone there. At the time I was offered mie titee (pork leg noodles), but I said I couldn't eat it (as pork is unlawful in Islam) so I just had es campur and wedang kacang (peanut beverage). Then, the rite was continued by pray to god whose responsible to debt and financial, and the god was burnt for bringing messages to the nirvana.
Afterwards, the house was brought out of the temple. The deceased's family prayed by walking around the house several times, after pouring the paper money surely. Finally, the house was burnt which done by family members, especially the children. But before, the family took pictures near the house prior to be 'sent' to their deceased family.
I have seen the rite twice, one in a temple on Jl. Sebandaran and last week in Tay Kak Sie temple (Gang Lombok).
This tradition is rarely seen (my friends even saw it for the first time when I guided them to Semarang Chinatown), even once a year and not all Chinese families do this rite. But seeing this event has widened my point of view about many beliefs in Indonesia. The differences shouldn't be viewed by only one sided-mind, but through many sides and it will grow our tolerance towards others. This is what I dream about Indonesia.
Home for all…

My friends and I kept joking that Friday night was "mom's night out" because almost every single one of us left our husbands home with our little ones while we shopped, sipped on beverages and chatted each others' ears off for hours at Madewell. It was such a wonderful event—thank you to everyone who was able to come out for it :) I definitely hope to do more of these in the future.
Here's a little peek at the night for those of you who weren't able to be there in person…
^^Meet Lydia, my new fall flats! *swoon*
^^A few of my favorite things for fall—stay tuned for a post this week with all of them rounded up for you!
^^Yep, there was a pup there, too!
^^How adorable is my friend & photographer, Chrissy?! She is due any day now and still managed to show up, hang out and snap all of these photos. She makes pregnancy look good!
Oh, and because I know someone will ask—for the event I wore all-things Madewell, of course! This wide-brim hat, this striped button-down, these perfect jeans, and these black flats. You can see the full outfit here, and shop the look below…

U.S. Census reveals population resurgence in central cities and universities across America.

When the 2010 Census results were released earlier this year, the excitement among urban planners, geographers, economists, and other data dorks was nearly deafening. The reason for this enthusiasm lies behind the results' subsequent significance and political ramifications, as micro- and macro-economic trends and relocation shifts were revealed, providing insight into Americans' increasing migratory central tendencies.
Population growth magnets that are particularly interesting are those of American city downtowns and nearby neighborhoods. Similarly, urban and "college town" college campuses are experiencing significant growth. These places are experiencing a renaissance since the demand for walkability, access to cultural institutions, unique sense of place, access to transit, and an urban lifestyle have aligned. On the flip side, numerous inner-ring suburbs have fallen into a state of decline, with population numbers leveling off and stagnant. Many smart growth advocates attribute their struggles with unsustainable growth patterns over the last 50 years.
Economists, planners, and geographers agree this trend is likely to continue. Whether these trends are being driven by globalism or simply a desire for that fabulous urban lifestyle as seen in Sex and the City, it nonetheless cannot be ignored. If cities anticipate these trends and plan accordingly—whether it be through improved transit access, green infrastructure, implementing flexible development regulations, or ensuring equitable housing choices—Americans' central tendencies will continue clustring and densifying in increasingly sustainable ways.

Pictures take a second from our past and freeze it for a lifetime or more. We can look at pictures from our great grandparents and wonder what were they thinking, how were they living, that moment in time was frozen but all we truly have is their image not their thoughts.
Recently, I started listening to books on podcasts. I run 6 days a week and have always listened to music or podcasts. I just finished Anne of Green Gables. I am now listening to Jane Eyre. I love listening to the inner thoughts of the main characters. It's like taking a mental glimpse into their souls. It's like a picture of that character.
I write meditations for my students. I take them into the scriptures so they stand next to Jesus Christ in the Jordan river as he was being Baptized. They could feel the splash the water on their faces. They almost always feel the embrace of Jesus Christ as he whispers how loved they truly are. At those parts I always say, you wish you could freeze this moment in time. Like a snap shot you don't ever want to forget it or let it go.
Pictures allow us to capture a memory, a feeling, a thought, a clip of time, and a moment that we can relive for a longer time. Are there pictures in your life that do this for you? I have so many; my wedding pictures, children's baby pictures, family pictures, and snap shots of fun days, ordinary days in the backyard, and pictures from my childhood. We should take more pictures. We should be present enough in our lives to treasure every moment in time. Today, attempt to live in the present and truly live each moment.

This is an opportunity that doesn't come along too often these days – an interview with one of my favourite singers and someone who happens to front one of the best bands I've ever seen; a bunch of superb individuals who make a formidable team. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes were on a lightning tour of Europe that included a night at Shepherd's Bush Empire. Too good to miss, really, so I took a little trip out to Wild West London. Here's how it went…
It's great to see you again, what are you up to these days?
Well, we have a lot of work this year. I mentioned the word retirement and they immediately booked a thousand gigs. We're trying to write another Jukes album but it's been going slowly, so really it's just been touring and trying to write the album and that's about it. There's not much else going on.
On this tour you had a free day in London yesterday. Did you manage to have a look around?
I walked all round Shepherd's Bush and around the mall and I wanted to go to the British Museum but I didn't get it together to do that, but this is a great walking area. I like this place; it's a little funky in some areas but that's good for me. I just love walking around London, all the different areas. It still feels like I'm somewhere other New Jersey. Even after all these years and all these times, I still feel glad to be here.
I've lived here fifteen years now and the city's changed so much in that time.
It's impossibly expensive to rent here. Occasionally I think, maybe I'll go over there for a while, but you've got all the Russians and Saudi Arabians that are buying up all the properties. There are people who have lived here for a long time and they're all right, but if you're trying to buy a house, you're out of luck.
You've done Wales and Scotland on this tour as well.
Yes, we played Cardiff and we played Glasgow. I always like playing Glasgow because the audiences are down-home, very New Jersey, if you know what I mean. They're very enthusiastic and it matters to them. There's no pretence about loving the music, it's just really honest 'get out and have a good time' people.
I think South Wales is a lot like that as well.
We've played a few places in Wales, but not enough for me to really know it. I've played a lot of places in Scotland many, many times and I've got to know a number of people up there and they're very authentic people. I really like that.
I think Jukes fans are like that generally.
That's true. We play New York and people drop in to slum it with The Jukes and I don't really care for that kind of thing. Our audience is like us; there's no pretension about it.
And at Holmfirth, you actually had to add a second show this year.
Yep, Holmfirth is one of our favourite places to play. When we first played there, we got lost. We were driving through fields; the GPS on the bus was completely screwed up and we ended up going through a farmer's field and thinking 'Where the hell are we?'
Then we got there and it's a small town, very picturesque and I thought 'This is going to be terrible' and it was great.
The people were just so over-the-top and the place sounded good and there was a snooker table in the dressing room. It was just one of our really fantastic nights and we had a great show, so we always look forward to coming back because they're always good shows, so everybody's excited about it.
And I think this year's the twenty-first of the venue re-opening as a cinema and music venue, so they may be commemorating that.
Twenty-one years, huh? I wonder how many times have we've played there?
I saw you there in 2010, I think.
I think that's when we started playing it, maybe a little earlier.
The last time I was in Holmfirth was in October last year to see Graham Parker with his new band The Goldtops, featuring some of the horn players from The Rumour and it felt like a throwback to that period in the late seventies when there was so much great music, and it was strange to see that Steve Gibbons, also from that era, had been added to tonight's bill.
(Laughs) I didn't know that. I just saw now that he was on the bill – that's great.
And seeing Graham Parker made me think about the legendary tour that you did together in 1977.
That was great. What fun that was. Both bands were in the same bus; a lot of poker playing, a lot of talking, a lot of beer-drinking. And it was a competition every night; who's gonna kick whose ass on that night. We really made some long-time friends on that tour. To us it was great because we saw all these towns you wouldn't usually see. We played everywhere and all the nice theatres like this place. So for us, a bar band, it was an amazing tour. It really felt as though we were getting somewhere.
And also, going back to that era, Squeeze are just about to do another tour of the States.
That's great, love them too. That was a great time for music. When you think about it, I liked all the punk stuff too. The Sex Pistols came to one gig with Ronnie Spector and the guys from The Damned were at The Nashville Club. Rat Scabies and I almost got in to a fight. It was one of those wonderful times.
I can remember in a history of punk I was reading ("'77 Sulphate Strip" by Barry Cain), I saw a photo of you and Graham at The Nashvillle.
Yeah, we were part of that era, but we weren't ever punk. They welcomed us and we met the Stranglers, Eddie and the Hot Rods and all those other guys. We knew Thin Lizzy, those guys came to our gigs; we used to go out drinking and there were nights you couldn't remember coming home to the hotel.
Is there any new music that you're listening these days?
I'm still listening to a lot older stuff too, but there's such a lot out there.
The reason I ask that is that I hear a lot of new Americana, people like Ed Dupas and Gerry Spehar. Some of it isn't well-known and might never be, but what I really notice is the political stuff that's coming to the fore now as the election of Trump seems to have politicised everyone.
Yeah, you can't get away from it and you're almost forced to take sides because the egregiousness just overwhelms you; the stupidity and the greed and the complete lack of compassion for anyone except for rich people. And even then, the people that are in the White House now don't have feelings for anyone but themselves, from top to bottom, and it's frightening, you know.
It's going to swing back the other way now, once Trump has gone, whenever and however that's gonna happen. I saw Jason Isbell at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and he was just fantastic, but he's become more political too. The album that I really like, "Something More than Free" is very personal and human and real-life oriented, but I know that his latest stuff is becoming more and more political because you're forced into it. You've got to speak up about it.
Getting back to the music, this incarnation of The Jukes is probably the most stable ever.
Yes, it's been solid for a long time; I don't count the years. It's also the best band I think I've ever had because they're all just all just great soloists but the ensemble work, there's no selfishness if you know what I mean. I don't know, I'm just really enjoying this band; I can throw any kind of curve ball at them and they hit it, so I can do whatever I want on stage, we do some strange stuff, and they seem to follow very well and it's not just 'ok, now what you gonna do dummy?'.
Well that's the question that I deliberately wasn't asking…
Well, I think they are. With Tommy (Seguso) on drums now and John's the best bass player I think we've ever had. Jeff's an incredible keyboard player. All of the guys, the horn section, they carry a lot of weight and they handle it very well. It's got so that I can relax and not worry about what's going on behind me. I always like that feeling of being free on stage to do and say whatever I want and with this band, I'm very comfortable with that.
I always thought the danger was, with a band that good, there's a chance that it can be like eight quarterbacks on stage.
(Laughs) No, they're very good that way, there's a certain ethos in being a Juke in that you're working hard to please the audience, but you're also trying to find new ways to play things and different ways to express yourself and, with this quality of musicianship, you can do that and you can let people go wherever they want to go and they let me go wherever I want to go. When it becomes rote, when it becomes just going through the songs, I'm out. That's like working in a cubicle for an insurance company, I just don't want that.
And the Jukes fans love that attitude as well, don't they?
They like it when we take chances, and if we fall on our face, they laugh. And we do too.
How does the music business, or what's left of it feel to you these days? Do you find it easier to work the way you're working now?
Oh yeah, I'm not part of the music business. I own my own label. It's all organic for me; I don't have to worry about pleasing anybody other than the audience and so if I want to put out an album, I'll put out an album, like we did the Billie Holiday thing or The Poor Fools. I can do whatever I want, I don't have to please anybody but myself as far as the organisation's concerned. So I don't even think about record companies. To me they're manufacturing artists. Some of them are good, some of them are terrible and phoney and awful but it's all down to one or two acts; you don't have record companies with fifty acts that they're trying to make a career with; it's either blockbusters or ignore it.
I've noticed that at Jukes gigs and with other bands doing similar things, younger fans are appearing.
Yeah, the fans are bringing their kids and their grand-kids, but that's all right. We're fun on stage, I think everybody gets that even when it's not the kind of music a younger person is used to, but with rhythm 'n' blues and soul being so popular again these last five or six years, it's interesting to see them coming and they understand what we're doing, and there were a few years where I don't think young people would have got what we were doing.
And you can see it coming through in bands like Hardwicke Circus, who supported you two years ago. They're kind of modelled on that Jukes ethos, aren't they?
Well, there's a lot of bands like that out there. There's a lot of soul singers out there and it's great to see. The only thing I don't like is manufactured music and I never have really enjoyed that. But if that's what people like, that's fine; I don't judge people that way.
Well, thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to the show tonight.
As ever; songs, not singles. These songs are all from albums that we've reviewed this year (that's Stone Foundation ruled out again – sorry guys). There's something else, apart from greatness, that links all these choices; they're not the only songs from the albums they feature on that could have made this list. The albums are all wonderful pieces of work taken as a whole, but they all feature at least two standout tracks that would have been seen as singles in a different musical era. There were difficult choices but ultimately it had to be whittled down to five songs. In no particular order, here are Allan's favourite five songs of the year; the songs that made his heart soar or made him cry, but definitely made him hit the repeat button.
Just to be contrary, it's actually the first song on the album, "Southern Wind", which was a collaboration with Will Kimbrough. One of the things Dean and Will bonded over was their love of Ronnie Lane, whose influence is all over this one. Having heard it live a few times, where it tends to appear towards the end of the set, confirms the power of the song and allows Dean to riff on repeated choruses by throwing in lines from, for example, "Ooh La La". It's fun and it's memorable; if you don't love this, you've got icicles for ventricles.
"Love in Wartime" – Birds of Chicago
Absolutely gorgeous. This clocks in at about the six minute mark but you just want it to keep going. It's one of those that seduces you in with a gentle intro then builds and builds to the first chorus. And by that time, you're hooked; you're there for the duration. Maybe there's a nostalgia thing there; the feel, the chord progressions are a lot like classic mid-seventies era Bob Seger. The melody's hummable, the harmonies are superb and it's hugely uplifting. I dare you not to be moved by this.
"Out from Under" – Michael McDermott
This is a song where you just have to accept the Bruce Springsteen comparison because this is a stadium rocker in the mould of "Born to Run". It's a monstrous 'wall of sound' production driving along by pounding, relentless floor toms and a huge full band arrangement. In the context of the album, it's the song that represents the start of the upward turn in Michael's rehabilitation and the uplifting lyrical message is carried along on the tide of a widescreen musical setting. Taken out of the context of the album, it's a song that FM radio in the States would have been all over in the 80s – not just a powerhouse arrangement, a potent message as well.
"Son of an Immigrant" – Gerry Spehar
A perfect example of the song that leads you in a certain direction before pulling the rug from under you and twisting the point of the narrative. It's not just an example of a clever narrative trick; like the rest of the album, this is a powerful commentary on the current state of the USA, and its current leader. The song has a very clear message; if you go back far enough almost everyone's an immigrant in the land of the free. Like "Out from Under", it sits perfectly within the context of the album without needing that context to shine as a great song.
"The Shape of You" – Rod Picott
Sometimes a song just needs to find the point in your life where it fits. This one happened for me on the Tube on the way back from a gig at Green Note. I'd already heard it a few times but this time it suddenly hit home. It's about the realisation that someone has become a part of you. In this case because that person has gone, but I guess the image works if they're still around. The song opens with the image in the title, then develops that image. It's a really simple idea but beautifully effective. The arrangement's sparse, with mainly acoustic guitar and vocal with some very subtle Will Kimbrough guitar atmospherics just lurking in the background. Delicate and gorgeous.
There are many other songs that could have been on this list; there's so much incredible music out there, but these were the ones that were buzzing around my consciousness when I put this together. Have a listen, and I hope you enjoy.
I know, I know; we've said this before. The Riot Squad loves the way that artists taking part in this piece stamp their individuality on their contributions – you never know what you're going to get. We've had a huge variety already this year including Dean Owens' American tour highlights and Track Dogs' UK tour discoveries and we're just over halfway through December. In this particular piece, Gerry Spehar, whose "Anger Management" album blew Allan away this year, has taken the opportunity to say thank you to some of the people that have made a difference for him in 2018. Gerry's kept this very simple, so we're going to respect that by not including any distracting visual images. And thank you Gerry.
Thank You High Fives 2018
Robert Mueller and the American justice system for giving me hope.
My kids, grandkids and other family for giving me roots.
Ellen for mending my broken wings.
Paul, Tommy and the other fine musicians for polishing my soul.
Geraint, Allan, Bill, Kim, Mike and other promoters, reviewers and stations for making it smile.
2018 was a bit of a year, really. There was a strong showing in the first few months of the year and it felt like the early albums would be difficult to beat. Maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy or the fact that, for one reason or another, I wasn't able to review too many albums in the latter part of the year but the early albums were very difficult to beat. I'm only featuring albums that I reviewed here, so great pieces of work like the magnificent Stone Foundation album "Everybody, Anyone" doesn't get a mention. Oops, it just did. Anyway, as always in no particular order, here are my five favourite albums of the year.
"Southern Wind" – Dean Owens & Will Kimbrough
I've been a fan of Dean Owens since my introduction to "New York Hummingbird" six years ago. Dean's a consistently great performer whose songs cleverly combine universal themes like love and loss with a particularly Scottish outlook. Over the last few years he's been increasingly involved in collaborations (with Amy Geddes as Redwood Mountain and the upcoming Buffalo Blood album with Neilson Hubbard and Joshua Britt) and "Southern Wind" was a joint project with the superb and in-demand guitarist Will Kimbrough. The album is a classic; there's no filler and lots of killer and you can clearly hear the influence of the wonderful Ronnie Lane, particularly in "Last Song". I wasn't going to single any particular song out, so how come that just happened. It's a meeting in the mid-Atlantic between Leith and Nashville and it's a Thing of Beauty.
"Psychopastoral" – Phil Burdett
Coincidentally, I first met Phil Burdett on the same night I met Dean for the first time (this stuff isn't just thrown together, you know) and they've both had very different journeys since then. If I had to pick one word for Phil's attitude to his music, it's uncompromising, and I mean that in a very, very good way. His back catalogue is all worth checking out, but his latest project "Psychopastoral" is something else. It's a song cycle which tells the story of the journey home spread out over 24 hours. Sounds simple? This Phil Burdett. The songs are linked by spoken-word interludes and (courtesy of Lyndon 'Songdog' Morgan) and musical fragments created mainly by Senor 'Al' Franklinos. I know, it sounds like it could be a bit pretentious, as I said, this is Phil Burdett; it works perfectly. And Phil's gone one step further than Pink Floyd by making the whole project one massive track nearly an hour long to force listeners to hear the project the way it was intended to be heard. Didn't think I'd ever write a sentence with Phil Burdett and Pink Floyd in it.
"Out from Under" – Michael McDermott
We can link this back to Dean Owens as well, because Will Kimbrough plays on this, as he does on a lot of Michael's recent material. Told you he was in demand. The title song is big in an E Street Band style and, let's face it, Michael will always get those Springsteen/Dylan comparisons and for all the right reasons. He's a superb songwriter who understands the American songbook and its highways and byways and isn't afraid to take a trip down any one of them. The album shifts seamlessly from the pathos of "This World Will Break Your Heart" to the joyful Motown exuberance of "Rubber Band Ring". I said back in May that I hadn't heard a better album this year and I stand by that now.
"Anger Management" – Gerry Spehar
I loved Gerry Spehar's previous album "I hold Gravity". He's a natural songwriter with a gift for a telling image. So just combine that gift with an exploration of the state of modern America following the election of Kurious Oranj. It's political in less direct ways as well; "Bitch Heaven" digs into the story of Woody Guthrie's campaign against Trump Senior and the Beach Haven property, while "Son of an Immigrant" double-underlines the blindingly obvious truth that the vast majority of Americans are immigrants if you go back far enough, including the current occupant of the White House. It's an angry album, but Gerry is managing the anger by diverting it into creative channels. This is an important album and we should all listen to it.
"Out Past the Wires" – Rod Picott
OK, quantity isn't everything, but Rod Picott defied the current trend for shorter albums and EPs by releasing a double album (twenty-two songs in total). If you have the material and it's good enough, get it out there. It's good enough, it's more than good enough. Will Kimbrough plays on it and also Neilson Hubbard (notice a theme here) but it's not just about the playing arrangements, it's also about the stories and that's what Rod Picott is really good at. In fact, the stories are so important that Rod's also publishing a book following the lives of some of the characters appearing in the songs and that should really be worth reading.
OK, I'll give you this one for free because you'll never work it out from listening to the album. I don't think Gerry Spehar likes Donald Trump very much. I've heard a few American albums this year that have railed against the state of affairs in America generally and POTUS in particular, but none that have so consistently sustained the attack across a whole album of thirteen songs or, more accurately, twelve songs and a prelude. Gerry's solo album last year, "I Hold Gravity", hinted at the power and breadth of "Anger Management" but the actuality is so much more brutal and brilliant.
The album is crammed with compassion, anger, pacifism and scathing attacks on the hypocrisy espoused by America's current elected elite; 2018 is the year that the protest album finally resurfaced and the timing is perfect.
The album opens with the skewed logic of "Thank You Donald", set in the immediate aftermath of Trump's election victory, where a suicidal impulse is overturned by a desire to save family and friends from the impending Trumpquake. It's set against a traditional string band arrangement featuring banjo and fiddle that creates a comfortable American feel the remainder of the album systematically demolishes.
The arrangements on the album cover a wide variety of musical styles from a wide variety of countries, underlining the impact that outside influences, and immigration, have had on American popular music and society. The impact is underlined in the album's second song "Son of an Immigrant", where the occupation of the central character (a policeman) isn't revealed until more than halfway through the song. The central message of the song is that almost all Americans are immigrants; it just depends how far back you go.
The album seethes with anger at the ills of modern America, the bitter lyrics underpinned by some incredible musical settings. "Carnival" is a perfect example, equating Trump with Lyndon Baines Johnson against a musical setting that evokes cabaret arrangements from 1930s Germany with sour horn fills and wah-wah guitar. It's a perfect combination, all of the elements emphasising the madness of the present-day USA; laughing at the freakshow as a distraction from the state of the nation. It's all perfectly summed up by the advice; 'Just keep on sayin' the same damn thing and don't fuck it up.'
"Bitch Heaven" is beautifully constructed, contrasting Trump with Woody Guthrie via Trump senior and his property development Beach Haven. Not only does Gerry stand the president nose-to-nose with an almost unimpeachable American musical icon, he also manages to morph the song into the Woody classic "This Land is Your Land"; it's powerful stuff. And don't forget the powerful, sarcastic closer "What Would Jesus Do?", pointing the finger at the double standards and hypocrisy currently infesting Trumpton. In another penetrating insight, the title song nails the distraction technique of medicalising a perfectly natural reaction to events in today's America.
I'd like you to do two things for me. Listen to this album on this link, and then buy a copy here. We all need to encourage people like Gerry Spehar to create masterpieces like this.
"Anger Management" is released in the UK on Friday 25 May.

British rock band Queen will perform in Japan next January as part of their 2020 Rhapsody Tour, which comes in the wake of the biopic film "Bohemian Rhapsody" winning an Academy Award, organizer Creativeman Productions Ltd. said Wednesday.
The band includes original members Brian May and Roger Taylor, as well as American vocalist Adam Lambert.
Queen is scheduled to appear at Saitama Super Arena near Tokyo on Jan. 25 and 26, Kyocera Dome Osaka on Jan. 28, and Nagoya Dome on Jan. 30.
The new tour of Japan was announced on April 17, the same day Queen arrived at Tokyo's Haneda airport for their first tour of the country in 1975.
Queen, including original vocalist Freddie Mercury, made six tours of Japan between 1975 and 1985.
Drummer Taylor said, "Japan has always been such a special place for Queen and we can't wait to return with our new show."
Lead singer Lambert added, "It feels like too long since we were last in Japan, but I have such fond memories of our time there."
"The fond relationship between Queen and the Japanese people is legendary," lead guitarist May said. "It will be the greatest thrill for us to return in January to the country that first recognized Queen music nearly 50 years ago. Subarashii desu," May continued, using the Japanese term for "wonderful."

New Website for Pro Se: Ohio Legal Help
Supreme Court Helps Launch Website to Offer Free Legal Resources for Ohioans
Ohio Dissolution (No Fault Divorce)
The Clark County Law Library does not have pro se Ohio dissolution forms. The Clark County Public Library downtown currently has LawPak's Ohio Dissolution of Marriage (No Fault Divorce) available at the Reference Desk. The Ohio Supreme Court (http://supremecourt.ohio.gov) also has downloadable/fill-in forms for Ohio divorce and dissolution. Please refer to your county's domestic relations court rules to see which forms are applicable to your situation.
Pro Se? Need Help Finding a Form? Look Here!
In most Ohio counties and law libraries specific forms are difficult to find for the seasoned librarian which only makes it more difficult for the person who wants to file pro se and is not sure what he or she needs. The law librarians in Clark County have put together a list of resources to help those who are not able to visit the library during it's designated hours or without transportation.

Hello all, I am thinking about the upgrade. I have 2 pb2isd's right now and i am going to upgrade. I have a theater room that is 22x17x8. I know that I "do not need" anymore than what I have right now but you know how that goes. My options are to sell the 2 pb2isd's and get 2 b4plus's or either add 2 more pb2isd's. Going with 4 isd's would be much cheaper, but would it be possible to get all four of them to sound right together? Also if I could get them all together properly, how would they compare to 2 b4-plus's? Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

Discussions highlight German banks' interest in community solution to reduce effort and cost of KYC compliance for correspondent banking.
A recent event in Frankfurt brought together 70 attendees from the compliance departments of banks from across Germany for an update on The KYC Registry for correspondent banking developed by SWIFT to reduce the effort and cost associated with "Know Your Customer" (KYC) compliance.
Opening the event, Jürgen Marstatt, Head of SWIFT Germany, reminded delegates that The KYC Registry was developed together with the industry - with a working group of 12 global banks contributing to the definition of processes, documentation and information required.
One of the 12 banks is Deutsche Bank. Dominique Feller of the anti-financial crime unit at Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt explained that more than half of its 500 staff working to fight AML worldwide deal with KYC on a day to day basis. She highlighted the importance of complying with relevant regulation and described how Deutsche Bank's customer due diligence (CDD) system recognises different risk groups - 'simplified', 'standard' and 'enhanced'. Correspondent banking is classified as 'enhanced CDD', due to the potential for high-risk customers' funds to be transferred via correspondent banks. Private wealth clients and PEPs (politically exposed persons) are also considered high-risk groups.
Monika Jacob-Schnitzler of Deutsche Bank's Trade Finance team emphasised the challenges the bank faces related to its activities in 65 countries. This requires a large number of banking relationships, in turn creating a multitude of related enquiries and generating extensive bilateral exchanges of information and documents. Using the centralised KYC platform as a one-stop-shop information source in the future will mean all procedures are simplified and efforts minimised, reducing KYC-related costs significantly, she told delegates.
Bart Claeys, Head of KYC Compliance Services, SWIFT, described the standard set of KYC data and documents agreed by the industry working group. Five categories - customer identification, ownership and management structure, business type and client base, and compliance and tax information, with mandatory/conditional and enhanced data - form the baseline of The KYC Registry. Thorough and evidence-based data validation provides a platform rich in features which will reduce the time it takes to manage KYC information - and cut the cost of this activity, Claeys said.
He also explained how the new SWIFT Profile - the first in a series of value-added KYC and CDD services - addresses the challenge of 'Know Your Customer's Customer' (KYCC). It provides a global overview of an institution's correspondent banking activities by using aggregated SWIFT traffic data to help pinpoint areas of potential risk within specific jurisdictions. Banks can share this with their counterparties at their discretion using The KYC Registry while retaining full control over which institutions can view their SWIFT Profile information.
Claeys closed his presentation with an overview of the value-based KYC Registry pricing system (based on the principle of "pay for what you find and need"). Data contribution is always free, and data consumption is free in 2015, for those entities which contribute data and actively promote the use of The KYC Registry to their correspondents.
Julien Laurent, KYC/AML Specialist, SWIFT, focused on how banks in the CEE region can implement The KYC Registry in their correspondent relationships, via their front office, KYC/onboarding and compliance teams. He also explained how The KYC Registry fits in the broader context of SWIFT's compliance roadmap. This growing portfolio currently includes the Sanctions Screening and Sanctions Testing services and the Compliance Analytics solution, alongside The KYC Registry. Laurent emphasised the value of collaboration in financial crime compliance - and how community-driven solutions can reduce cost and effort for every member of the community.
Closing the event after a lively audience Q&A session, SWIFT's Marstatt highlighted the deep insights shared during the discussions on the functionality and value of The KYC Registry.

Been a bit of a busy day today and I have a feeling its not over yet. After dropping Calum and Conor at shcool , on the way in Calum desided this would be a good time to tell us he was at church this morning and if we wanted to come as well, after explaining that he realy needs to start telling us a fw days before when something is going to happen so that we can come. Anyway I drew the short straw and went to church to see Cal, the service was short and, it wasnt that bad, they were celibrating the Birthday of the first Catholic church to be built and blessed, the lateral Basilica In Rome.
So back at home we had a mad dash to get tidied up ready for the visit from a community Nursery nurse who was comming to give Conor his pre-school checks at 1 o`clock. At 11:20 we went to collect conor from nursery and take the SatNav I got for Tracy back to Tesco`s... It was crap, couldnt even find Dalton Park.
As usual on our way out we were ripped off by Conor into letting him have a ride on a car he found.
Anyway back on subject, 1 o`clock came and went so I called Sure Start to ask were the nursery nurse was and I am told that she has put out appointment in her diary for tomorrow. So Tracy desides that she wants to go to Dalton park, to see if she can get there, bags are packed for Keith and off we go.
Now this is the first time Tracy has ever took the car out of town without someone who knows the way beside her, right onto the A19 Motorway without a flicker of doubt or fear.. i was so proud of her *wipes a tear from eye*. After about half an hours drive we arrive at Dalton park and have a look around at the shops befor we go to get Calum from school.
Conor came across a small cordened off part of the center with a few birds of prey teathered to purches.
He got a little upset and started to try and talk the birds into flying away to freedom.
There are less shops there but the centre its self looks alot better than our centre. Tracy popped off to the toilet and was amazed at how much better they are than ours in Middleton Grange shopping centre, they even has little vases with fresh flowers in them.
Later at home we desided to try out a new chinees take away, The Crystal just along from Bross Corner, we ordered our usual, Sweet and Sour King Prawn Kanton style, one with chips and the other with fried rice. The servings were smaller than we usualy get but tasted alot better, will be going back there.

Documents spilled in a parking lot result in breach notification
Careless handling of paper medical documents has led to MidMichigan Medical Center notifying about 1,900 patients of a breach of protected health information.
Serving the middle parts of Michigan and affiliated with the University of Michigan, the five-hospital delivery system suffered the breach on November 18 when a physician inappropriately removed paper documents from a cardiology office and transported them in a storage container.
The container was not secured and dropped in a parking lot. Medical center staff and police retrieved as many documents as possible, but a possibility exists that not all of the contents were recovered. Affected patients are being offered identity theft protection.
"We believe that all of the records were retrieved, and the risk to patients is low; however, that cannot be fully validated," says Richard Bates, MD, vice president of medical affairs at the medical center in Alpena. "As a result of the inappropriate removal of these records, the physician is no longer employed with the Medical Center."
Also See: The 10 largest data breaches HDM covered in 2017
In its notification letter to patients, MidMichigan Medical Center-Alpena included considerable information on how patients could protect themselves. "While we believe that the risk that your information is compromised is low, we wanted to inform you of some simple steps you can take now or in the future to help protect yourself against identity theft," the organization explained. "The first step involves placing a fraud alert on your credit file. A fraud alert tells creditors to contact you and verify your identity before they open any new accounts or change existing accounts. You can call any one of the three major credit bureaus. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts. All three credit reports will be sent to you, free of charge, for your review."
In addition to its hospitals and physician network, the delivery system includes home health and urgent care facilities, as well as federally qualified community health centers.

Wow, you're deffinately giving alot of detail there lol
When you installed Windows XP both times, did you have your computer hooked up directly to the internet? Unless you have a router w/NAT or hardware firewall connected between you and your modem(assuming you have broadband)? The problem with installing windows with a direct connection to the net is that you dont have time to setup a software firewall or virus scanner before the crap gets onto your PC.

Telling your wife you have a crush on someone else can be a tad awkward. That awkwardness multiplies when you explain that your crush is on a man; but trust me, it goes through the roof when you reveal that the focus of your affection is Sean Harford, Ofsted's National Director. One deputy head explains all in Teachwire.
I am absolutely certain that aspects such as Ofsted, pointless bureaucracy, and the very latest in a long list of failed initiatives that you have seen on its third reincarnation in the last 10 years have all been key factors in the difficulties we face as a profession.
I get all that, and am not for a minute defending the nonsense that has gone on over the years.
It all started about a year ago, when we got 'the call'. What normally would have been the cue for four horsemen equipped with various regalia of the Apocalypse turned out instead to herald a productive visit from a small team of experienced, reasonable and student-centred inspectors.
I thought maybe we had just got lucky, but as I began to read more I found myself in the novel situation of thinking that maybe, just maybe, things could be starting to change regarding our relationship with the dark and mysterious Ofsted spectre that hovers over us all.
However, I realised my thoughts were maybe more than just a passing flirtation when I attended a seminar delivered by Sean Harford.
There was talk about progress not being visible every 20 minutes, and how students learn at different rates; of reducing teacher workload; of not producing reams of meaningless data; of a varied and enriching curriculum being important in the holistic development of students; and of moving away from what many (myself included) would perceive as an absolute obsession with examination data as the only way in which the life (and value) of a young person can be measured. I may have swooned.
My emerging sense of optimism is based on the hope that we will have a professional dialogue with inspectors and feed into the consultation for the inspection framework of 2019 so that finally it can be fit for purpose.
I don't forget, and neither do I forgive, the multitude of historic Ofsted sins; but at the same time, I do think that, on occasion, the Ofsted Bogeyman has been exploited by some figures in the corridors of power in some schools, which helps no one.

Los Angeles, CA, June 18, 2009 — Universal Studios Hollywood's Studio Tour trams are now newly equipped as "mobile movie theaters" with hi-def video monitors, all-new video content and state-of-the art audio systems.The re-opening of Courthouse Square marks a milestone in the largest set construction project in Hollywood history, an ongoing project undertaken by the studio following the four-acre June 2008 fire that impacted several famous film locations on the historic studio backlot. All of the other backlot locations are set to open in the spring of next year. Courthouse Square, now fully restored, is the world's most-photographed town square, and the site of over a thousand movie and TV shoots dating back to the 1940s. The location is widely known from the Back to the Future film series and home to the CBS hit drama Ghost Whisperer.

It's important to give back to the community, and when companies prioritize charitable giving and volunteer work, not only do they engage positively with their community, but their employees become more engaged as well. According to the 2017 Doing Good Is Good for You study, 75 percent of employees who volunteer through employer-sponsored programs feel better about their company. The mental and emotional benefits are even more significant, with 93 percent saying their moods improved, 79 percent reporting lower levels of stress, and 88 percent saying their self-esteem increased. "What started out as a mission to give back to our local community has not only boosted morale among our employees but has enhanced our relationship with our clients," says Jim Shields, principal of Shields Legal Group. "Building a company culture of service and generosity is a winning proposition, no matter the size of your company." This altruistic approach is particularly important for organizations looking to attract Millennial talent. Younger people want to work for organizations that are positive forces in their communities, and by giving back, everyone wins.

Nice share thanks. I think it is helpful to remember that we can 'give back' in many ways. Delighting a customer, helping a colleague achieve a lightbulb moment, improving our team's carbon footprint are also ways of giving back to the world in some way. Reminding our colleagues of how they do this daily is a lovely way of helping them to remember that their work matters and can also serve a greater purpose.

Government accountability groups are backing a resolution, to prohibit members of Congress from serving on the boards of publicly held companies.
Thirteen groups sent a letter this week to House lawmakers in support of a resolution introduced in August by GOP Rep. Tom Reed and Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice.
In response to the indictment of their fellow New Yorker Chris Collins, the pair introduced a measure to create a House version of Senate Rule 37.6(a), which states that no senator "shall serve as an officer or member of the board of any publicly-held or publicly regulated corporation, financial institution, or business entity."
Collins was arrested Aug. 8 on charges of insider trading and securities fraud related to an Australian biotechnology company, Innate Immunotherapeutics. Collins is the company's largest shareholder and serves on its board of directors. The indictment alleges that Collins passed nonpublic information about Innate's drug trial results to his son to help him "make timely trades in Innate stock and tip others."
In total, the three defendants in the Collins avoided "over $768,000 in losses that they would have otherwise incurred" had they sold their stock after the information was made public, according to the indictment.
