LEBANON, OH - No one was surprised that a Chris Beaver harness racing trainee captured the $40,000 championship final of the James K. Hackett Memorial for Ohio-sired three-year-old trotting fillies on Monday afternoon (April 15) at Miami Valley Raceway.
Many, however, were shocked at which of the five Beaver fillies in the field prevailed.
Pure Chance (Jason Thompson), off at 17-1 odds, left with alacrity and easily made the front before letting heavily-favored stablemate Bella's Rose Power (Aaron Merriman) rush to the lead just before tripping the first quarter beam in :28.4. Thompson and the daughter of Triumphant Caviar were quite content to sit in the pocket second for the next half mile, watching the teletimers flash :57.3 and 1:26, before finding room at the head of the stretch to squeeze out and power to a 1:55.1 score.
Well I'm Fancy (Chris Page), a 59-1 longshot from the Ron Burke Stable, found a seam in deep stretch to rally for runnerup laurels while Aunt Rose (Ronnie Wrenn Jr.), another Beaver trainee, was third. With odds-on favorite Bella's Rose Power fading to fifth, mutuel payoffs soared. Pure Chance paid $37.20 to win, the exacta returned a whopping $1037.60, and a $2 trifecta ticket was worth $3082.00.
Steve Zeehandelar is trainer Beaver's partner on Pure Chance, whose young career has now produced three wins in ten tries, good for $97,246 in earnings.
The state-bred sophomore trotting colts will take center stage during the Tuesday (April 16) matinee at Miami Valley when the $40,000 Hackett Memorial final for that division will take place as Race 6. First race post time is 2:05 p.m.

Broncos win four of five during stretch
By Tim Wester
After a sluggish start to the season, the Union Grove softball team rolled through a successful week.
The Broncos won four out of five games last week, including two straight Southern Lakes Conference games against Wilmot and Waterford.
"We sure are starting to hit our stride," Union Grove assistance coach Steph Wilms said. "Our hitting is also starting to come together."
The Broncos' bats came on strong in a 9-6 victory over Wilmot Tuesday, April 2.
Union Grove unleashed a six-run sixth inning to help turn a 6-3 deficit to a 9-6 lead. Freshman Serafina Weist struck the decisive blow with a big three-run homer in the frame.
Kayli Pfeffer tacked on an RBI double, while Anna Dolgaard added a two-run single to center to cap off the decisive inning.
Pfeffer, who had two hits and three RBIs, took care of the rest, firing two straight shutout innings to preserve the victory.
"Our kids did so well with the bats," Wilms said. "They have worked hard on their swings and it paid off."
Rout of Waterford
The Bronco bats continued to tack on runs with an 11-1 victory in five innings against Waterford Thursday, April 4.
Sophomore Angela Slattery went 3-for-3 with 4 RBIs and a walk, while Dolgaard and Abby Boyle drove in three apiece to lead the onslaught.
Pfeffer got the win, allowing unearned run in five innings. Pfeffer also drove in a run to help her own cause.
The Broncos made it three straight wins the next day with a 7-3 victory over Kenosha Indian Trail. Slattery paced the offense with three hits and an RBI, while Dolgaard drove in a pair, and Brittney Moczynski and Boyle also drove in runs.
Emily Gamble earned the win, allowing three runs and striking out seven.
The Broncos' offensive momentum came to an abrupt halt after Kenosha Bradford shut out the Grove 13-0 in their first game at the Bradford Triangular Saturday, April 6.
Union Grove came back in the second game to win 6-5 over Greenfield.
Olivia Breske led the offense with three hits, two RBIs with a double and a triple. Pfeffer also drove in a pair.
The Broncos look to continue their winning ways with a double header against Kenosha Tremper tomorrow.

To book a place, please use the booking tool above and email us your choice of work shops to email@example.com Please choose 3 work shops, one from each time slot ie A or B / D, E or F / G, H or I.
Arrival & Refreshments
Jo Morgan: Teaching Mathematics in 2018 – Challenges & Opportunities
Jo Morgan is the writer of resourceaholic.com, a website providing resources, information and ideas to support maths teachers around the world. Jo's website receives over a million visits each year and won the UK Blog Award in the Individual Education category in 2017.
Jo has now been teaching maths for nine years following a career change, and is currently a Lead Practitioner and Acting Head of Faculty at Glyn School in Surrey. In her spare time, Jo is a Council Member for the Mathematical Association, a member of the AQA Expert Panel and a member of the TES Maths Panel. She is very active on Twitter and a passionate advocate of teacher collaboration, taking every opportunity to share good resources and best practice.
Workshop A – Yr5-8 Continuity Lucy Sayce-Browne
A group of teachers from primary and secondary schools have been working together to explore ways to improve continuity in learning between years 5 and 8. In particular the group has shared methods for teaching fractions and proportion. Come and learn more about effective teaching of fractions and proportion and how you can improve continuity within your own cluster.
Workshop B – Teaching Using Manipulatives Andrea Wickham, Jo Walker, Jane Liddle
This session will look at how manipulatives can be used in secondary schools to develop students ability to represent the structure of mathematics and enhance their ability to understand mathematics, solve problems, explain their reasoning and adapt ideas. This is the precursor to bar modelling and array modelling. You will have the chance to try out some manipulatives looking at various areas of the algebra syllabus and go away with some ideas to try out with your classes. The session is led by BBO Hubs Primary and Secondary Mastery Specialist Leads and one of our Secondary Mastery Specialists.
Workshop D – Challenging Topics at GCSE Lisa Pollard
Within the 'old' GCSE there were a number of topics that consistently proved challenging for many teachers and their pupils for a variety of reasons, either that the content itself was perceived to inherently have a high level of challenge or that it was less difficult material but somehow proved difficult to teach in a way that made sense to pupils, resulting, at best, in an instrumental understanding. With the 'new' GCSE there have been new topics at Higher tier but also a number of topics that have moved from Higher tier to Foundation tier and some of these have been cited by teachers as being difficult for Foundation pupils to access.
In the light of these changes it is likely that the list of challenging topics will have changed, either in composition or in the nature of the challenges. This Work Group has been convened to draw up an evidence-based list of challenging topics arising in the new GCSE and to explore effective ways of teaching some of these topics, both to address the immediate needs of the incoming Year 11 pupils, but also taking a longer term view by considering the pre-cursors for each of the topics and examining and evaluating teaching approaches for these.
In this work shop, we will look briefly at these challenging topics and identify some of the key assumptions and prerequisites; identifying how participating in this work group can support teachers and students understanding of how we can make these challenging topics less challenging.
Workshop E – Post16 Pathways: Increasing Uptake Prof Paul Glaister & Lesley Swarbrick
Post 16 Pathways and Increasing Uptake: The recent Smith report was very much in favour of increasing the numbers of post-16 students studying some form of Mathematics, and the Autumn budget included money to encourage schools to increase uptake of level 3 mathematical courses. These traditionally include A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics, but AS Core Maths was introduced as a way of students studying the Mathematics which would help them in future non mathematical careers/degree courses. This workshop will give you information about the options available to post-16 students.
Workshop F – Teaching Using Variation Andrea Wickham, Jo Walker, Jane Liddle
This one of the elements involved in actively planning to develop an in-depth understanding of mathematics within students by ensuring that they understand when techniques can and cannot be used; how to apply them in a wide range of scenarios, be able to find the most efficient technique to use and not fall into the common misconceptions. This session will look at the thought process of planning lessons in this way and provide you with a few ideas to try in your classroom. The session is led by BBO Hubs Primary and Secondary Mastery Specialist Leads and one of our Secondary Mastery Specialists.
Workshop G – Problem Solving and Reasoning at KS4 Julie White-Zamler
The aim of our workshop is to help teachers, with all levels of experience, expand their portfolio of teaching approaches; to help them become more confident at planning; to deliberately and simply promote reasoning, problem solving and higher-order mathematical language and thinking within their classrooms and departments. We will share and use a variety of structured approaches to adapt questions from the new GCSE curriculum.
Workshop H – Problem Solving Approaches to Teaching A-level Phil Chaffé
In this workshop, Phil will introduce a number of techniques for integrating mathematical problem solving into A level lessons. These techniques will focus on developing the strong mathematical thinking and communication skills needed for success at A level.
Workshop I – Core Maths Naomi Sani
Core Maths is the Talk of the Town (well Westminster, anyway!) Core Maths is the new Level 3 qualification for post-16 students which everybody is talking about! With the government keen to endorse and support this pathway for significant numbers of students – and with the promised advanced premium funding, alongside the new Advanced Maths Support Programme – these are exciting times.Come and find out: 'What a Core Maths Lesson Can Look Like?'. Just be willing to take off your shoes and join in! This is for everybody!
STEM Activities Dominic Grantley – Smith
A mathematician's miscellany, and an apology, followed by closing remarks Prof Glaister
Throughout his career Paul has enjoyed posing, and exploring, a variety of mathematical problems that lend themselves to relatively elementary mathematics. In this session he will share some of this miscellany of problems, and findings, by way of an apology, in the spirit of the infamous and prestigious mathematicians and collaborators G H Hardy and J E Littlewood, but at a somewhat more modest level!

It cannot be for wilful hardening of hearts that doctors and nurses in the public health sector have become cold towards patients, with some being sinister and malignant. Reports of patient neglect are now a common occurrence, fast becoming topical.
guest column: Cyprian M Ndawana
Obviously, there are dispiriting factors wearying public health service deliverers. However, while it is appropriate to acknowledge the prevalence of untoward attention to patients, as I see it, it is equally appropriate to establish the disruptive influence on their work ethics.
True, patient care at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals (PGH) runs at tangent with the medical essence of alleviating pain and suffering. It is indeed a cause for grave concern as oftentimes, patients are heartlessly abandoned as if intentionally hung to dry.
Despite being named after a national hero, the late Dr Samuel Parirenyatwa, a colossal pioneer indigenous medical doctor, care and attention at the referral institution is basically casual. Over the years, medical personnel have become considerably disquieted.
They are wearied such that they now suffer from perpetual malaise. Consequently, their conscience was deadened. Little wonder, they vent frustrations on patients. It has long been a public profound concern that patient care had ebbed dangerously low.
Recent complains of patient neglect in Ward C which prompted a visit to the institution by First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa, are, however, not new. Several have been raised before. Amid widespread patient neglect, she is best advised to guard against grandstanding.
Prior to her appointment as ambassador to the Health and Child Care ministry, Auxillia went on a tour of public hospitals with television crews in tow. While her objective was not expressly clear, her strategy was untowardly attention-seeking, hence risking being maladroit.
How a government handles vulnerable citizenry such as the elderly, the sick and those on fringes of the economy, to mention but a few, speaks eloquently about the disposition of the ruling elite than rhetoric like that of a new dispensation and second republic.
Despite his tall story of Zimbabwe being open for business, it is against the worrisome backdrop of the prevalence of patient neglect, among a host of other mounting social challenges that President Emmerson Mnangagwa clocked his first anniversary at the helm.
Show me a person who has not experienced patient neglect and I will show you an elite who traverses borders for medical care. It is common knowledge that seeking medical care at public hospitals has become as dreadful as imprisonment.
Last week's Sunday Mail published a letter under the headline, Reign in on Parirenyatwa, penned by an aggrieved person over the neglect of his brother who had suffered a fracture. He was abandoned on the hospital bed for days, yet all he needed was just a plaster.
He had to transfer to D floor private wards, where he received treatment upon admission. Sadly, it is only a few who are brave enough to publicly complain as did the patient from Ward C who cried out to Auxillia and his brother who sounded alarm bells through the newspaper.
Commonly, the generality of citizenry endure and even die in silence. Although PGH principal nursing officer, Dr Lilian Dodzo apologised for the neglect and promised a full investigation, she ought to be told that the challenge is massively transcendent.
With all due rest, patient neglect is entrenched beyond her sphere of authority. It is not a herd instinct behavioural trait like skin bleaching. As I see it, it spans to the era of the first post-colonial Health minister, Herbert Ushewokunze.
There is more to the prevalence of patient neglect than meets the eye. It augurs well for Mnangagwa to step out of the eyrie. Since taking helm of government, he is yet to hit the ground running to the public health sector as he did to the military.
His fellow Zanu PF bigwigs, who suffered injuries following a blast at the White City Stadium while on campaign trail in Bulawayo, were actually spared the agony of being treated in public hospitals. They were initially admitted at a private hospital before being airlifted to South Africa.
Hence, from the dawn of independence, the history of public health delivery service has been anything but healthy. It is littered with one strike after another. As recent as a few months back, nurses went on strike, only to be summarily dismissed en masse.
One truth that is crying out to be told is that public sector health caregivers are victims of government's scant attention to the development of the sector. All public health facilities across the country are conspicuous by dilapidation.
Besides infrastructure dereliction, they all have been systematically underfunded over the years such that the wherewithal that constitutes a medical facility like ambulances, linen, dressings and drugs is either not available, or is so scant to be of significance.
Whichever public hospital one might mention, be it Mpilo, Gweru, Harare or Mutare, they all stand as symbols of neglect as opposed to care and hope. If you have been to one, you have been to all. And, to compound to this dilemma is high patient-caregiver ratio.
By all accounts, doctors and nurses are overwhelmed. They wish if they were ubiquitous like Jesus. Their overall working conditions have been on the agenda since the early 1980s. And, relations with their employers are not mutual, with no prospects ever for amity.
Many packed their bags for the great trek to the diaspora. Hence, it is inexplicable grace that there is a remnant of practitioners still weathering the storm. Yet, by virtue of being the coalface of public health delivery service, doctors and nurses bear the brunt of the public.
When the First Lady responded to the Ward C patient's plea, her approach was a simplistic notion that the solution was within easy reach like low-hanging fruits. She pursued the elementary option of imploring nurses and doctors to render service with a smile.
She missed the opportunity to understand the extent of the problem by hastily proffering advice. Ever since her appointment as ambassador for the health ministry, it has been my conviction that she was too blinded by partisanship to add value to the ministry.
Given that she is a former parliamentarian, it stands to reason that she is in good stead to acknowledge that the public health sector has been gradually wilting due to under funding. She knows that were it not for the support of the international donors, by now, the public health sector could be in the intensive care unit, if not actually interred.
My four-month-long futile search for treatment at PGH's Wednesday orthopaedic clinic, offered me a window of opportunity to see firsthand the extent to which service delivery had fallen. No wonder, the ruling elite fly to South Africa and beyond for treatment.
What started off as quest for treatment of my fractured foot degenerated into a wild goose chase with each subsequent visit. Eventually, I appealed to the clinical director. Yet, in spite of his intervention, all I got were three operation appointments which all were never honoured.
One surgeon whose name is intentionally withheld was particularly sinister. He always snarled, oblivious to time honoured patient-doctor reciprocal sentiments. It could have been a dance too close to the sun had I insisted on being put under the knife by him.
Agony accounts of patients, who, like myself end up saddled by shortfall bills at private surgeons are many. It is a known fact that surgeons who run clinics under the government auspices give theatre preference to patients they attend to at their private consulting rooms.
Goings on in public health institutions are an antithesis of ideals Parirenyatwa adhered to. Granted, patient neglect is a tip of the iceberg. There is an urgent need for an Operation Restore Ethical Conduct. As I see it, the ambassadorial role demands absolute probity.

Current Short Term Tenancies are not affected by the change. However, all new tenancies from the 1st December 2017, are now Private Residential Tenancies. The Scottish Government have provided a model tenancy agreement.
According to the Scottish Government the purposes of the change are to provide tenants with stability and predictability of tenancy and the landlord with appropriate safeguards. The Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 requires core rights to be noted within the new agreement. Additionally it allows for discretionary terms to be included, these providing extra safeguards for landlords. It is the discretionary terms which we at Munro & Noble have paid particular attention to within our leases.

That's Not My Dog!
A bunch of people coming around for dinner and cracking jokes over a few beers and wines … is that a compelling idea for a feature film? The director Dean Murphy and his ubiquitous star/producer, Shane Jacobson – who is increasingly giving the impression of being a person happy not just to attend the opening of an envelope but to star in a feature film about such an event – believe the answer is a firm yes.
The twist is that the guests of the true-blue soirée held in That's Not My Dog! are well-known Australian comedians, instructed to bring with them their three funniest jokes of all time. The guest list is impressive – including Jacobson, Paul Hogan, Jimeoin, Paul Fenech, Michala Banas, Steve Vizard, Fiona O'Loughlin, Tim Ferguson, Lehmo, Ed Kavalee, Rob Carlton, Christie Whelan Browne, Hung Le and Lulu McClatchy.

Join the discord https://discord.gg/desrowfighting Reach out to me on the daily ~ TWITTER: http://Twitter.com/desrowfighting ~ FACEBOOK: http://Facebook.com/desrowfighting ~ INSTAGRAM: http://Instagram.com/desrowfighting Overwatch is a team-based online multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released in May, 2016, for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six, with each player selecting one of 24 pre-defined characters, called heroes, each with unique movement, attributes, and abilities, whose roles are divided into four categories: Offense, Defense, Tank, and Support. Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map or escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time. Players gain cosmetic rewards that do not affect gameplay, such as character skins and victory poses, as they play the game. The game was initially launched with casual play, with a competitive ranked mode, various 'arcade' game modes, and a player-customizable server browser subsequently included following its release. Additionally, Blizzard has developed and added new characters, maps, and game modes post-release, while stating that all Overwatch updates will remain free, with the only additional cost to players being microtransactions to earn additional cosmetic rewards. Overwatch is Blizzard's fourth major franchise and came about following the 2014 cancellation of the ambitious massively multiplayer online role-playing game Titan. A portion of the Titan team came up with the concept of Overwatch, based on the success of team-based first-person shooters like Team Fortress 2 and the growing popularity of multiplayer online battle arenas, creating a hero-based shooter that emphasized teamwork. Some elements of Overwatch borrow assets and concepts from the canceled Titan project. After establishing the narrative of an optimistic near-future Earth setting after a global crisis, the developers aimed to create a diverse cast of heroes that spanned genders and ethnicities as part of this setting. Significant time was spent adjusting the balance of the characters, making sure that new players would still be able to have fun while skilled players would present each other with a challenge.

Disclaimer: I am a Beachbody coach and if you purchase through one of my product affiliate links in this post, I will earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products I love, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
As I begin to get leaner and wiser in my journey towards health, I have really come to appreciate the workout programs that Beachbody, a health and fitness company, has to offer like PiYo and Shakeology.
The workouts are challenging, but easy to follow and in a lot of ways, I feel Chalene Johnson is in my living room pushing me to do one more burpee as I loudly sob like a madwoman. So, when Beachbody announced it's newest service called Beachbody On Demand, I began to look into it….with some reservations; after all, I am happy with the workout I have now. But then, my mind began to race…
What if I start getting bored with my workouts?
What if I want to switch things up?
Do I really need to lug around these workout DVDs everywhere I go?
It's a bit of a pain if you ask me; so when I heard about Beachbody's On Demand service, the myriad of workouts in it, including my PiYo workout program, and how I can access it with any device with internet connection, I decided to give it a try.
So, for all my peeps thinking about trying this out, here is my Beachbody On Demand Review.
What is BeachBody OnDemand?
BeachBody OnDemand is an online service that provides hundreds of BeachBody world-class workout programs, including P90x, Cize, PiYo, Turbofire, Insanity, and other well-known BeachBody fitness programs and can be used with any device via an internet connection like a smartphone, tablet, laptop, etc.
So basically, it's your way of bringing the gym with you EVERYWHERE you go. What I especially love about using BeachBody OnDemand is the convenience.
Many a time I have forgotten my workout DVDs at home, and for a brief moment, the thought of skipping a workout struck a chord in my heart…you know that feeling? That happy excitement of not having to do a workout that will kick your butt, but terror that such complacency will render you a lazy blob with atrophied muscles.
Related: How to Stay On Top of your Workouts While Traveling
But lucky me, I was in an area that had wifi, and I always bring my tablet with me on trips. So, I logged into my onDemand account, loaded up my PiYo workout, and pushed play. 30 sweaty minutes later, I packed up the tablet as a sign of completing my workout. How awesome. A portable gym….now that is a cool use of technology 😉
Does BeachBody OnDemand cost anything?
Yes and No.
BeachBody OnDemand is free for the first 30 days. This was especially great for me, because I am a firm believer of test-driving the car before purchasing it off the model floor.
When the free trial is over, Beachbody On Demand is $38.87 for 3 months of service (billed on a quarterly basis), which works out to be $12.96/month or $2.99/week. With the unlimited access to hundreds of workouts in the Member Library (about $3,100 value) Beachbody OnDemand is a pretty decent replacement for a gym membership (in the past, I have paid anywhere from $20-30/month). Plus, I do like having a ton of programs to choose so I don't get too bored with the same workout moves day after day.
And of course, one other comforting thing that put me at ease is knowing I can cancel this service at any time simply by calling customer service before the next month begins. Call me non-commital, but I like knowing I have an out and not contractually obligated into something I don't want.
Try BeachBody OnDemand for FREE for 30 Days
Is Beachbody On Demand Convenient?
I am a firm believer of trying something before making a judgement call. When I first saw BeachBody OnDemand appear as a service, I thought it was a silly idea. Who would ever think to use this? I have my own workout DVD, so this is just redundant. I finally had the sobering realization when I forgot to pack my PiYo DVDs in my travel bag on the way to a wedding; I got to my hotel, searched for the DVDs, cried out in desperation, and then, in the same breath, realized I can access the same program on my iPad.
All I had to do was open my tablet, type in the search bar for "BeachBody OnDemand", login, and pick any workout I wanted to try, not just my PiYo workout.
Final Thoughts
Beachbody On Demand is a great option for anyone who loves Beachbody workouts, likes the convenience of not carrying around the DVDs everywhere, and wants access to a ton of free workouts from past Beachbody programs like P90, P90x, T25, Chalene Extreme, and Hip Hop Abs (just to name a few). You might say I felt like a kid at a candy store, but for working out and getting muscles and stuff.

- Atiq Ahmed pleaded guilty to two counts of dissemination of a terrorist
- The Old Bailey heard how his family had raised concerns in March
- As he was being handcuffed by police, he said: 'I will kill you like an Israeli'
- The Oldham man added: 'If I get the chance I will behead one of the police'
Atiq Ahmed, 32, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, had pleaded guilty to two counts of dissemination of a terrorist
An Isis supporter threatened to behead a police officer when his stash of 'grotesque' execution videos was uncovered.
Atiq Ahmed, 32, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, had pleaded guilty to two counts of dissemination of a terrorist publication by posting links to disturbing IS propaganda videos, one of which was viewed on YouTube more than 37,000 times.
Ahead of his sentencing, where he was jailed for two-and-a-half years, the Old Bailey heard how his family had raised concerns in March this year, fearing he was a danger to society, citing his violent behaviour, mental health problems and solvent abuse.
They told police he would 'talk constantly' about Isis and watch their videos on his laptop and mobile phone.
When police were called to a domestic incident at his home in Copster Hill Road, Ahmed told them: 'Now you are here I am going to raise the black banner, the IS flag will fly. I will not let you live.'
As he was being handcuffed, he threatened one officer, saying: 'I will kill you like an Israeli.
If I get the chance I will behead one of the police.'
He was sectioned under the Mental Health Act, but when he was deemed fit for interview he admitted to police that a mobile phone, laptop and memory card storing a number of Isis videos were his.
Ahmed, a Sunni Muslim, said that he had downloaded them for 'research, study and understanding what is going on', the court heard.
While he supported Islamic State, he said that he did not plan to join them and wanted to live peacefully in the UK.
He stopped using Facebook because his posts kept being deleted as they did not like what he had to say.
Prosecutor Steven Gray told the court that he had posted links to two graphic videos on his Google+ account and discussed sharing violent jihadist videos with an Arabic man on Google Hangouts.
The first video which had been viewed 260 times showed a beheading, IS militants shooting a soldier, and the execution of hostages set to chanting in praise of Jihad.
The second video which also showed IS militants was viewed a total of 37,467 times on YouTube, the court heard.
Ahmed's collection of shocking videos of executions and beheadings included one featuring Jihadi John posing with the severed head of an American citizen threatening to bring violence to the streets of the United Stated and UK.
Mr Gray told the court that Ahmed had been convicted 18 times before for a total of 30 offences, which included assaulting a police constable.
In one racially aggravated outburst at an officer, he had said: 'You white mother f*****s, my boys will chop your heads off.'
In mitigation, Andrew Selby said the guilty pleas were made on the basis he was 'reckless' when he posted the links.
He argued that while there was no doubt the material was 'grotesque, brutal, graphic and vivid', it reflected real events in places around the world.
But after watching the videos, judge Michael Topolski QC said: 'Many of them are deeply disturbing, truly horrifying and bear no relation whatsoever to the true practices and principles of the ancient venerable religion.
'None of it can sensibly be said to serve any legitimate or useful purpose. To make any of it readily available is an indication that this defendant does indeed support Isis.'
Ahmed, who has been diagnosed with mental illness, became agitated and began to ramble incoherently in the dock so had to be removed from court before the judge concluded his sentencing remarks.

We Are Social have just published their "Social, Digital & Mobile Worldwide in 2014" report, and they study provides a wealth of insights for marketers in the tourism industry. The first thing to note from the report is that both Internet and social media penetration continue to increase.
Rising Social Media Penetration
According to We Are Social, during the calendar year 2014, Internet penetration will ramp up to 35 percent, with most of these Internet users utilising social media to at least some extent. Thus, We Are Social believes that social media penetration within the world population is around 26 percent at this point in time. This effectively means that there is a worldwide social media audience of nearly 2 billion people.
There are many other interesting lessons to take out of this extremely authoritative and detailed report. One of the things that travel marketers may particularly wish to know is the amount of time that people are spending on social media nowadays. For example, according to the report, social media users in the United States actually spend over two hours a day on social media. This is no longer an activity that people dip into for a few minutes; social media has become a significant part of people's lives.
It is easy to view social media as one vast, amorphous blob of users, but in fact the major social media sites attract significantly different demographics. Every social media size in fact attracts a very specific audience, which is interesting given that the whole concept of social media often implies a user base which doesn't greatly differ between platforms.
Contrasting Demographics
However, it is quite logical when considered that each social media site has a vastly different audience, as effectively they all offer contrasting services. Comparing the image of LinkedIn to Instagram would inevitably lead anyone to conclude that their target market and tone are completely different.
This notion is reflected in the statistics compiled by We Are Social. For example, in the United States, women are significantly more likely to utilise Facebook that men. The gap between the two genders' usage of Facebook differs by about 10 percentage points. Facebook also attracts more adolescent uses that any other social network in the United States, indicating that this social media platform provides the ideal opportunity to target both young people and women.
However, Facebook has in fact lost ground against Instagram to some extent. Teenagers in the United States now describe Instagram as the world's most important social media platform, with both Facebook and Twitter losing popularity with this important demographic. According to the report, 83 percent of teenagers in the United States who reside in wealthy households currently use Instagram on a regular basis.
This hugely contrasts with the core demographic and audience of LinkedIn. This corporate-focused social media site attracts an audience which is primarily aged between 30 and 49; i.e. an audience which is in the prime of its career development. LinkedIn has grown rapidly in its relatively short life to the degree where the social media site is now more popular than Twitter among US adults. We Are Social noted that there were more adults in the United States that were regular users of LinkedIn than Twitter.
Another interesting demographic related to Twitter is that the site appears to have acquired popularity with males more than females. This is an intriguing, given that the general perception might be completely opposed to this. However, according to the We Are Social study, 22 percent of men use Twitter, as opposed to only 15 percent of women.
YouTube Overtaking TV
It's not merely a social media which is changing the way that businesses operate and in particularly market. Almost everyone in the Western world has accessed YouTube at some point or other, and this is reflected by a statistic in the report which suggests that YouTube reaches more adults aged 18 to 34 than any single cable TV network.
The key millennial demographic in fact rates YouTube as the best place in the world to watch video content, ahead of traditional media companies such as television stations, and also Facebook.
While the most prominent social media sites attract a huge amount of the marketplace, there are new players popping up all the time. One such social media site is Snapchat, and this has made a particularly strong impression with a young demographic. Although Snapchat has yet to attract the sort of mumbers associated with the largest sites in the social media sphere, it is particularly popular with young people; 60 percent of Snapchat users are in fact aged between 18 and 24. To put this into perspective, the same figure is around 28 percent for Instagram, despite its young audience.
This only scratches the surface of all of the information available in the We Are Social report, so all travel marketers would be advised to access the full report online. As social media marketing becomes increasingly important for tourism-related businesses, acquiring as much information as possible about this critical commercial opportunity is of paramount importance.

CPM Is Investigating Pacific Fertility Center's Egg and Embryo Storage Failures
On March 11, 2018, the Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco sent notices to hundreds of women informing them that their frozen eggs and/or embryos had been the subject of a storage tank malfunction. The Pacific Fertility Center initially attributed the failure of the storage tank to a reduction in liquid nitrogen levels and a resulting temperature drop in the affected tank. The Center is currently investigating the tank failure.
CPM is also investigating this incident. If you believe your frozen eggs or embryos were affected by this malfunction at Pacific Fertility Center, please click here or contact Anne Marie Murphy at (650) 697-6000. All communications are held to the highest level of confidentiality.

The Three-cornered Leek is very invasive due to the seed it produces which germinates easily to create a dense clump of leaves and flowers. In the larger garden it makes an attractive display in a woodland setting. It is a native of the Mediterranean, but is now naturalised in many parts of the British Isles, preferring shady areas, but is fairly tolerant of most conditions.
Digging it up is not usually successful straight away as there are many seeds and bulblets which are tiny and difficult to remove completely. Over a number of years, continual cutting should eventually exhaust the bulbs and the reservoir of seeds. Any uprooted bulbs should not be added to the compost heap, and care should be taken if moving plants or soil from an infested area.
See also Ramsons or Wild Garlic, which has a similar odour, flowers and is quite invasive.

Farming In Huron County, Michigan
Loegel, Jane
MetadataShow full item record
The idea for this paper came from the Kanaski family who now occupies the Sketcher house in Huron County. When they moved in, Anna Sketcher's son left much of the family belongings, among them were several of Anna's personal diaries. While cleaning out the attic one day, Mrs. Kanaski came across those diaries and later mentioned them to me. Of course I love old things and especially when they involve deciphering someone's handwriting so naturally I was excited to learn more. However, I did not initially think about them as a potential Senior Individualized Project. But when I continued to think about my topic, the diaries kept coming up and eventually I decided that farming would be an incredibly interesting topic especially since I would have access to such a great primary source. After doing all the research and writing, I still enjoy the topic and actually want to keep learning more so I would think that it has been a success.

July 31, 2018 at 04:19PM safiya noble - Google News Dan Sinykin: How computational analysis is teaching us to read in new ways
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
Making sense of a problem at that scale was beyond the scope of my training. It would require tracing trends and patterns across thousands of books, a feat beyond the capacities of a single human mind. To do it, I turned to computation and the burgeoning field of cultural analytics. As I learned these new methods, I came to realize how little we know about books and reading.
Computation is already making available a vast terrain of new knowledge about literature. With its help, scholars are asking questions about how the book you're reading now ended up in your hands, and why it reads like it does. What are the forces, previously inchoate, that have shaped literary culture? Literary critics are collaborating with computer scientists to find out. By looking at thousands or millions of texts at once, and by designing artificial intelligence to draw inferences at such a scale, they are discovering that things we might have thought were true — that the publishing industry had grown more receptive to women and people of color, for example — are not. These demographic discoveries have implications, some of them only apprehensible through computation, for what happens within books. And scholars have only just arrived at the iceberg's tip.
The key term is model. At the beginning of MIT's Introduction to Computational Thinking and Data Science, professor John Guttag explains that, across disciplines in the sciences this past decade or so, computational modeling has increasingly supplemented or replaced physical labs. A model, he explained, is anything that organizes data. It was also only in the past decade or so that computer scientists made advances in treating language like data, making it possible to bring computational modeling to literature.
A model is only as good as its design and the data used to build it. As professor Safiya Noble and mathematician Cathy O'Neil have argued, models used by, for example, Google, Facebook, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs are exacerbating racism and classism in the United States. Thoughtful literary critics who employ computation are in dialogue with this criticism and integrate its lessons into their models.
Yet the fierce and necessary criticism of computational modeling coming out of humanities departments has an unfortunate tendency to turn into friendly fire, shutting down work that brings modeling to literature toward, ultimately, similar critiques of social and cultural injustices. Scholars in the humanities are well-placed not only to critique the misuse of models, but to put models to use to better understand their objects of study.
To what end? Many scholars in literary studies wonder whether computers can teach us anything about literature that we don't already know. The answer is an emphatic yes. A great example responds to the question I asked above: If we step back and look at 200 years of fiction, has publishing become more hospitable to women?
Few, even among the best-informed, would guess that 1970 marked the nadir for the percentage of women publishing fiction in English, relative to men. But Ted Underwood, David Bamman and Sabrina Lee, in "The Transformation of Gender in English-Language Fiction," recently discovered that the distribution declined from gender parity around 1870 to a situation in which women wrote less than 25 percent of published fiction a century later. Let me underline this point: In 1970, only one out of every four published works of fiction in English was written by a woman, down from one out of every two in 1870.
Using BookNLP, the authors found a parallel pattern in the percentage of words in fiction devoted to describing women, which declined from around 45 percent in 1870 to around 30 percent in 1970. Digging further, they found that women, on average, across time, devote roughly half their characterization to woman and half to men, whereas men have a steady ratio of 30 percent to women and 70 percent to men. It goes to figure that, with more men publishing fiction, we see far more men in our books.
The authors of the study call their discovery the "masculinization of fiction." Previous scholars have noticed bits and pieces of this trend, but, as the authors note, "no one has been willing to advance the dismal suggestion that the whole story from 1800 to 1960 was a story of decline." The decline opens two big questions, one historical, the other theoretical, that the authors, after brief speculation, leave for future literary critics: How did this happen, and what has it meant for literary form?
Underwood, Bamman and Lee show that the situation improved dramatically for female authorship between 1970 and 2000, during which time women's share rose to 40 percent. My own in progress research suggests that this increase is due at least in part to the explosion of the market for children's and young adult fiction, which is predominantly written by women. At least as of 2000, women hoping to write fiction for adult audiences were at a disadvantage compared to men.
Drilling down, Underwood, Bamman and Lee tracked which words are associated with which gender across time, to startling results. For example, the words grinned, smiled, laughed and chuckled were used about equally to describe men and women in 19th century fiction, but became strongly gendered in the 20th century, peaking in 1950, when men grinned and women smiled, trending toward parity again in the 21st century.
Most ambitiously, these methods promise new cultural histories of gender. For decades, theorists of gender, like Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler and Silvia Federici, have argued that gender is not a natural category, but one produced and reproduced by society toward the benefit of men. Underwood, Bamman and Lee have extended this work by, in their words, "measur(ing) the diachronic instability of gender categories." In other words, their work quantifies the shifting meanings we've attached to gender at different moments in history. Scholars can now describe in greater detail than before how gender has changed over time, enriching the already complex and evolving debates among theorists. How have men viewed women differently from how women have viewed themselves, and vice versa? How exactly has the binary of man and woman been inadequate to expressing historical variations and blurriness in written accounts of gender?
I do not want to overstate the case. Computational modeling is still new to literary studies, and scholars are just beginning to produce results. More are on the way. Neither will computational modeling replace traditional literary studies; most likely, when the dust settles, it will become a small subfield. Yet the promise of modeling literature is great, not least because it helps us go beyond the familiar work of reading books toward the labor of analyzing the world that produced them.

Late, Tired, but Doin' a Happy Dance!
I'm about 12 hours later in posting my daily post today, but I do have a good reason, really I do! My dog ate my homework…oh, wait, that was for something else…(grin!) I was having so much fun blog-hopping yesterday … Continue reading

1. Move More
Anytime, anywhere, anyway! Just move your body as many times as you can. If you don't have much time then set out an intense cardio session. Remember to try new cardio activities to keep things fresh.
2. Cut the Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, salami, ribs and sausage). Avoid excessive consumption of high fat dairy products such as cheese and cream. Turn yourself into a lean, mean, fat-burning machine! To learn more you may want to have a look at our Lean Down Challenge > Here <
3. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine a day can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Every glass contains hidden calories that stop the body burning up your food efficiently, thus turning your body into a fat storing machine! Thought for the day: A bottle of wine should last a long time.
4. Always look on the bright side of life!
Optimists achieve, pessimists fail. So best keep a positive mental outlook. There's a definitive connection between living with health & well being and having a cheerful outlook on life. Try singing and smiling… You can't be unhappy when you're doing that!
5. Set Measure Achieve
Simply stating that you want to lose weight is not effective. Be specific. For example, I want to lose 5 kilos of fat by Christmas Day. Take your base measurements and then re-take them on a regular basis. You cannot measure your progress if you have no idea where you started from. Each and every workout session should be logged. Keep all of your fitness logs together and create your very own success journal. As this can all be a bit overwhelming this is where a Blackburn Personal Trainer could come in handy. Why not check out how Personal Training in Blackburn could help you by clicking >HERE<
6. Get your body strong and your mind will follow
Everyone should strength train. There are 100's of reasons to strength train, too many to list. But simply, strength training builds lean muscle tissue and increases bone density. Train all major muscle groups 2-3 times per week. Strength training boosts you metabolism for 48 hours post workout, which supports fat loss!
7. Rest
Get 7-9 hours of deep sleep each and every night. Also rest your muscles by not working out at least 1 day per week and never repeat identical workouts on consecutive days.
8. Stretch
Cool down by stretching out your entire body. This helps increase flexibility and decrease muscle soreness the next day. It also increases your recovery whilst developing long toned muscles.
9. Drink and Eat
What goes into your mouth becomes what you are! You are what you eat is SO true! Flush your body with lots of water and eat regular small meals throughout the day… clean food, NO JUNK! This will complement your fitness routine and make your goal a reality. Or you could continue on eating 'whatever' and never see any change… its up to you!
10. Stay on track
Every week off your new lifestyle plan will see you back to where you were two weeks earlier. So most importantly, strive for consistency, then progression, then when summer is right above us you'll thank your lucky stars you decided to make a change. Good Luck.
Remember when starting out on your health and fitness plan in Blackburn it is important to consider having support and guidance so as you have the very best chance of reaching your goals! Here at The Urban Fitness Blackburn Gym we have a number of different options to suit your needs! If you would like to know more about our memberships simply >>>CLICK HERE<<<

Cold roast chicken
Minted pea cous cous
Roast asparagus with borage flowers
New potatoes with butter
Salad leaves with marigold petals
Raspberries & Strawberries
(we also ordered some chips from the pub too!)

Every day I swing a 20-pound pack over my shoulders. Its filled mostly with water to hydrate me for a long day of walking, I've got a small first aid kit in my pack, too. I also carry a few other things like a change of socks, a raincoat, and Nordic walking poles to help me up the steep climbs of Spain's coastal mountains and to maneuver down rocky river beds into valleys and across small streams. But I carry something far more meaningful than my back pack.
The most important thing I carry each day are the prayers that people have asked me to pray as I hike the Camino de Santiago del Norte. Your prayers are precious to me because you have entrusted them to me. You've shared your deep concerns, worries, and desires, and asked that I hold them in my heart and lift them to God each day as I walk the Camino. Like children who carry water cupped in their hands, I carry your concerns in prayer to God each day. And it is a privilege,
In some ways my daily prayers are like the Old Stone Church bandana affixed to my pack: they are with me every day; their presence reminds me of who I am as I walk; and they allow me to remember you always while sustaining my sensitivity and compassion for you even though we are an ocean apart.
Sometimes I pray them silently before the day begins. Sometimes I invite Beth to join me by saying "Lord, have mercy" with me after each prayer. Those times remind me of the "prayers of the people" which we say in church every Sunday back at the Old Stone Church in Cleveland.
Sometimes I lift prayers while I am walking. Other times, I stop into an old church and pray them where prayers have been lifted for hundreds of years, as in the 800 year old Church of the Franciscan Fathers in Aviles or as I did before the 15th Century altar piece in the 16th Century San Roque Chapel in Navia today.
This may sound a little funny to you but, in some ways, carrying the prayers of others along the Camino de Santiago – up the sides of mountains, along steep embankments, across the waters we ford, through the rain and mud, makes me feel a little like Denzel Washington's character in the post-apocalyptic movie, Book of Eli, who carries the words of scripture with him on his journey, or like the characters in Led Zeppelin's song, No Quarter:
They carry the news that must get through, oh,
They choose a path where no one goes . . .
I am also deeply aware, and deeply appreciative, that as I carry the prayers of others, that many of you are carrying Beth and me in your prayers. We feel the strength of your prayers lifting us each and every day. When things get particularly challenging we gather strength from your prayers. Like the day we had to climb, back to back, a 350-meter incline, and then shortly after, a 180-meter incline – the equivalent of five football fields on a sharp incline of stones and rocks in the high temperatures of a Spanish heat wave with very few switch backs to give us relief. We stopped and rested often, drank lots of water, and took time to catch our breath! But we also drew spiritual sustenance from the great well of your good thoughts and prayers which allowed us to keep moving upwards even when our legs felt like rubber.
Perhaps my prayers for you will allow you to "keep going" in the face of whatever mountains are confronting you today.
When it comes down to it, prayer itself is a Camino. Prayer is our journey together with God. It is the ongoing conversation we have with the Divine. As we travel the path of prayer together, it shapes us as the church into the image of God. It empowers us as a people, opens us to deeper relationship with God and one another in the great community of faith, and it teaches us to be still and to listen as one, and to know and to trust that it is God who carries us all. Always.
For those of you who have entrusted me with your very personal prayers, and those additional prayers I have added since beginning the Camino, please know that I carry them as close to me as I carry my essential water for the journey. You are with me in my good thoughts and in my spirit. It is my honor and my privilege to be lifting you to God in prayer with every step I take.

Unique, jaw-dropping and now impeccably restored, the 'Trophy House' was designed by legendary architect Myron Teller for a Wall Street stock-exchange chief who needed space to entertain notables and display his collectibles from big-game adventures and other world travels. Built in the late 1930s as a new building on the storied Appeldoorn Farm, ancestral home of the Schoonmaker family since the early 1700s, the Trophy House, upon entry, appears to be a traditional stone house of the era. But take a few steps into the gallery foyer and you are suddenly looking down on an epic 30x41 living room bracketed by a newly re-built casement bay window and a soaring cut-stone fireplace. The room, overlooked from a paneled balcony and reached by a sweeping split staircase, rises a staggering 28 feet to a ceiling peak joined by antique axe-hewn roof trusses and hand-forged hardware, a trademark of the Colonial Revival style that Teller made famous. Gracious proportions and pristine details and hardware, hand-crafted by local artisans, animate every room of the house, including the period bar room and a mammoth club-sized master bathroom. As part of a painstaking multi-year restoration project, the house now also features a bolstered foundation and flooring, new kitchen, new electrical service and plumbing, state-of-the-art zoned heating and new twin septic systems. Privately sited on 8.6 acres at the end of a long driveway flanked by stone pillars, the Trophy House and its companion 'Gate House,' a charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath clapboard farm house perfect for hosting overflow guests, are surrounded by an additional 131 acres, all of it protected from development by conservation easements. The property, just 2 hours by car from NYC and also convenient to Kingston and New Paltz, won a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

I'd hoped for a shop in Lunanhead but all I got was a park bench and a good enough phone signal to call Challenge Control.
It was good to walk with Markus for a couple of hours. Last time I saw him was last year when he wasn't on the Challenge and he was going the wrong way out of Tomich. We walked into Friockheim together and had a beer before Markus pushed on to the coast.
I'm in another stealthy camp with a view of a barbed wire fence and two roads. The wind is the strongest I've had all crossing.
