Overheard at breakfast this am: "It's 42 and 36 degrees in Paris today....London, 39 and 32....Copenhagen, 30 and 23." That was my 90 year old mother giving the weather report. Not here in Idaho....not from her home county in eastern South Dakota, but in European cities. It's always been so in this household. And the auld wrinklies cannot comprehend why my innards keep pushing me to get out and explore this big wonderful world??!!
Exploring being on hold however, preparations for next weekend's annual CDA Art Association's Artist Showcase in the Plaza Shops, downtown Coeurd'Alene are underway. Both mom and I will be exhibiting paintings, and I will have a good selection of prints and cards available. I will be sharing some of my favourite Scottish tunes on fiddle Friday night, 5-7ish, and Saturday 12-2pm with CDA's newest Scots music group, Nine Pint Coggies. Amazingly, we've got three gigs on Saturday.....and I'm heading to an evening of ballroom dancing in Moscow thereafter.....my cup runneth over with culture!! Hope to see all you locals at the Shops sometime during the weekend - it's an excellent community oriented event, with lots of interesting artists to chat with and observe at their craft, and a wide variety of good work to view, contemplate and purchase. Hours are 10-8 Friday, 10-6 Saturday and 10-5 Sunday.

You guys can now submit posts to be published on the site, but I want to warn you that unless your post is really good, chances are I'm gonna find a place for it in my recycling bin (yes, I believe in the environment). Here are some guidelines that will increase your chances of getting published on my site (or any other blog about the social discourse going on at American colleges):
1. Times New Roman, 12 pt font. If you've ever written a paper before, I shouldn't need to tell you this.
2. Needs to be edgy. I'm not interested in boring topics, so if it's not about the NFL or a JJ Abrams movie don't make me waste my time reading it.
3. No anonymous submissions. There's nothing more cowardly than hiding behind anonymity. As a second clause to this guideline, you should probably include what frat or sorority you're in as well as which one you have the most hookups in.
4. No split infinitives or sentences that end on a preposition. Read the f***ing Elements of Style like every other college student and know the things you can and can't end your sentences with.
5. No nudity. You'd think this one would be fairly obvious, but I know Kappa girls who like to send me pictures, so just know that this won't be tolerated.
Once you've finished writing your post, email it to benotcurious[at]wordpress.com

Today On Parade
The bright citrus flavor of lemon is difficult to top in desserts but, it can be equally satisfying in savory dishes. In my Parade article this week it's all about 21 Spectacular Savory Dishes Using Lemon. Toss freshly squeezed lemon juice with butter to dress pasta or use it along with fresh thyme to pump up the flavor of roast chicken. It works in side dishes as well, such as a luscious Italian risotto or when paired with honey it takes a simple chicken dish to a whole new level. Lemon is also a terrific way to enhance the fresh flavor of seafood like shrimp or salmon and provides the perfect acidic element to add zing to a vinaigrette or homemade salad dressing. (Link to article below image)
Lemon, be it savory or sweet is an ingredient that's frequently featured in my kitchen. We love it in sweets like my Outrageous Lemon Lovers Trifle, No Bake Lemon Bliss Cheesecake, Lemon Sour Cream Pound Cake or Lemon Lush with White Chocolate and Macadamia Nuts as well as savory entrees. Scroll through the gallery on Parade and enjoy a zesty taste of Spring any time of year.

Neutral Nurseries
For those of you wanting to be surprised or those that just don't want the traditional pink or blue, neutral base colors are the way to go in your nursery. Adding a bright pop of color to any room will help to bring it to life. Don't hesitate to use a teal or blue wall in a baby girl's room, and then add orange accents for interest.
These paint swatches are great gender-neutral options, leaving you with tons of design paths to explore to personalize baby's space.
All colors here can be found at Sherwin Williams in their various collections.

You've got to find amusing moments during video watching and then made a GIF loop to share this funny meme with your friends. Soon you got that the self-made GIF doesn't loop itself, and stops at one-time playback. Things are just not as what you think. In fact, this can be easily solved, and you just need one more step to make a looping GIF.
One More Step to Get Your GIF Loop Itself
1. Why the GIF fail to loop itself?
Normally most GIF memes restart where it ends. If your GIF cannot loop itself, return to the tools you use to make an animated GIF. Differently, a group of people prefers to see the GIF stops after one-time playback, or they will get tired or confused about the energetic GIF photos. Thus, some GIF-making software or websites will set a one-time limit for GIF playback by default.
But take it easy. Often these GIF-making tools offer settings for permanent GIF playback and you just not have the chance to find where it is. Yet the hidden GIF loop function varies from software and websites, so we cannot point out the exact solution for yours. Alternatively, we select a commonly used GIF making software to show you how to make a GIF loop from the video. It's nice that you can gain some experience from it.
2. How to make a GIF loop with GIF making software?
Here we take Photoshop to make a GIF loop. Pay attention to the step after choosing "Create Frame Animation" in "Create Video Timeline". You should first turn to the top navigation menu and choose "Select " > "All Layers". Then return to the Timeline screen, and click the menu icon on the right.
In the popup list, select "Create New Layer for Each New Frame" and then "Make Frames From Layers". Go on and in the end, you will get a GIF loop.
3. Conclusion
If you get other GIF making tools, software or website, it may need some time to find the GIF loop option. At least, next time you can get the GIF loop at your will. If you really have trouble catching the GIF loop function, you might as well try another GIF making software that will automatically get a GIF loop product. See as below for more details.
One-stop Software to Make A GIF Loop
VideoSolo Free Video to GIF Converter is friendly to make a GIF loop from the video. You won't worry about forgetting about the loop settings as it offers a natural GIF loop by default. Moreover, as its name shows, you are free for any GIF animation work on it, and even can adapt the GIF photo as you like, such as setting the duration time, adding watermarks, altering the brightness and so on. Nicely, this software has simplified the GIF-making process, and you will be familiar with it in a few minutes. Also, you can get an available version for either Windows or Mac operation system. Following is a detailed guide to making a GIF loop step by step.
Step 1. Download and Launch VideoSolo Free Video to GIF Converter
Below are download pathways for the GIF-making software. Yet small in size, it offers free service and smooth GIF processing capacity.
Step 2. Add Video Files
Launch the GIF Converter, and then click "Add File" to add the videos.
Step 3. Select Video Content for GIF
Click "Clip", and determine the time to "Start" and to "End".
Step 4. Loop GIF Setting
This step is essential to make an animated GIF loop. Click "Settings" behind "Profile". The tick "Loop Animation". Here you can also change some parameters at your request.
Step 5. Edit Selected Video (Optional)
Click "Edit" option and it will pop up a window divided into four parts: "Rotate", "Crop", "Effect" and "Watermark". Here you can customize the selected video content. E.g. you can enrich the GIF effect or add some individual watermarks.
Step 6. Convert Video Clip to GIF Loop
Click "Convert", and then the software will quickly give you the conversion result of GIF loop. This time, you are surprised to find that the GIF file loops itself naturally.
VideoSolo Free Video to GIF Converter performs nice work to make a GIF loop and I think it is worth to get your desired GIF loop. To sum up, maybe you've found the exact GIF loop way on your software/website, or sincerely tried this Free Video to GIF Converter. Anyway, it's great that you manage to make a GIF loop from video.

Airbnb has created a number of Hospitality Standards to assist you in making the hosting process as seamless as possible:
Commitment – When you accept a reservation request from someone, you're committing to taking care of their needs. They're trusting you to follow through on this promise. Never accept a booking unless you are able to commit.
Accuracy – Guests want to know about you and what your space has to offer. Have an accurate listing and detailed profile so guests feel comfortable making a reservation request. Set the right expectations from the beginning and the hosting process will be made much easier.
Availability – Your listing calendar needs to always be kept up-to-date. Your availability should constantly be reflected in your calendar, so that you don't receive reservation requests for dates you cannot accommodate. An accurate calendar is of utmost importance.
Cleanliness – A clean and tidy space is at the heart of hosting. Cleanliness is one of the most important standards for travellers. Guests will rate the cleanliness of your space in your review. Always maintain high cleaning standards.
Amenities – Guests are drawn to amenities. They are one of the ways you can separate your listing from others. All hosts should have essential amenities like toilet paper, sheets, towels, and shampoo, however, other amenities such as Wi-Fi, an ironing board and hair dryer are also helpful for your guests.
Welcome – Think about the guest experience from start to finish. Your guests will be in a new place when they arrive. Make arrival easy for guests. A clear and simple check-in process will make your guests feel welcome and put them at ease.
Support – Guests like to know that hosts are available and responsive throughout their stay. Make sure your guests know how to get hold of you and can rely on you should any situation arise.
Reviews – Leaving reviews for your guests, and them leaving reviews for you, is at the core of the Airbnb community. Reviews are a great way to show gratitude to your guests and provide helpful feedback. Invite guests for a return visit!
Follow these Airbnb hospitality standards and you'll rise to the top as a host. Good luck!

KISSLING is the first manufacturer worldwide focusing on a non-gas-filled ceramic contact chamber for a high-voltage power relay. KISSLING addressed the biggest challenge, minimizing the burning time of the switching arc, by using a highly-dynamic and efficient propulsion system. This ensures a first-class product with the extended lifecycle, high quality and reliability you've come to expect from KISSLING.
Read more
The ongoing push towards hybrid-electric and full-electric vehicles in the automotive industry has lead to the adoption of high-voltage electrical systems, which are essential to achieve power levels similar to internal-combustion engines. However, in switching devices this results in a significant arc when switching the load which over time destroys the contacts. Therefore, the main task for switching device manufacturers is to minimize the burning time of the switching arc. The new KISSLING high-voltage relays accomplish this and make the technology safe and manageable.
This single coil system relay features high shock and vibration resistance resulting from careful design and an optimized magnetic circuit. The sealing technology used in these relays meets or exceeds both the IP67 and IP6K9K (Steam pressure cleaning) protection standard. This series of relays is well suited for various applications in severe conditions on commercial vehicles, buses, construction & agricultural vehicles, aircraft, ground support equipment and lift trucks.
Other important advantages are low heat generation in the contact area based on low contact voltage drop, a compact design, low holding current, silver alloy contact material and the use of mechanical and high thermal stability insulating compounds. Both the terminals and housing are protected against corrosion.

Improve Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry
It is an undeniable fact that has been proven by smile surveys conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Harris Poll. The quality of your smile affects your self-confidence, attractiveness, and social habits. It may even affect how likely you are to keep up with good dental hygiene habits in the future. Some people are conditioned to make judgments about you just by looking at your teeth. Dr. Gary Machiko, a Pittsburgh, PA cosmetic dentist, can significantly improve your smile with a cosmetic dentistry procedure.
Your Cosmetic Dentistry Options
The great thing about modern cosmetic dentistry is that you will often have more than one treatment option for bettering your smile. These are some of the most common aesthetic dental treatments that may help your smile:
- Veneers and crowns
- Professional teeth whitening
- Dental bonding and contouring
- Braces and Invisalign
- Dental implants and implant supported devices
What Happens At a Cosmetic Consultation?
There is a good chance that you have more than one complaint about your smile's appearance. Your Pittsburgh cosmetic dentist will first consult you about what you want to change, then look at your teeth visually and with dental X-rays to decide on the best course of action. You may be presented with more than one option, such as teeth whitening and crowns or partial dentures and bonding. The cosmetic transformation might begin that day, or you can come in at a later date to start treatment.
Benefits of a Better Smile
When you're embarrassed about your teeth, it can affect how you navigate your day. With a changed smile you can finally face everyday social and professional situations knowing that your teeth aren't a potential distraction. You'll also want to see your dentist more often for checkups and cleanings to make sure that your smile continues to look radiant, bright, and perfectly aligned.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
After one visit to your Pittsburgh, PA, cosmetic dentist, you'll have a better idea of what dental treatments will give you the results you've been looking for. Call (724) 719-2866 today to schedule a visit with Dr. Machiko.

St Bartholomew's School planned to remember the war.
We look back upon a time in many respects unique in the annals of the School. The cloud which was hanging over us for the last four years has passed away, and no longer are we in constant dread lest news should come of the death of one of those who went forth from among us. We have welcomed the return of many from the posts to which they were called by War, and wish that good luck may attend them in their journeyings on the paths of Peace. Those who will never return live in the memory of the School, and it is the duty of those who remain to enshrine that glorious memory in a worthy memorial which shall keep it fresh for the future generations of Newburians. Details of that Memorial Find are published elsewhere in this issue, and we would direct the special attention of our readers to this matter, which is of the highest importance to the future of the School. It would be indeed deplorable if the example of self-sacrifice set by those O.N.'s who laid down their lives were, for lack of a fitting monument, lost to those who come after them.
We are ever at the mercy of the weather in the Spring Term, and this year the football season, spoiled last term by influenza, has been rendered a complete fiasco by the inclemency of the elements, which permitted but two practice games and a single match. On the other hand, the skaters have had their fill of that weather which comes all too rarely for their wishes, and the devotees of Terpichore have been able to give themselves up more completely than ever the cult of their Muse, which is sweeping over the land as irresistibly as did the worship of Dionysus over the world of antiquity. As we write, the Fives Tournaments are in full swing, and training for the Sports is being carried on with enthusiasm; but enough of these things: shall not the results there of be chronicled in our next number?

The FAQs for Making Better Managers of Volunteers
I think we should start a dedicated website on this topic. Here is why, and what I would like to include:
- To help people find out the real oil on managing volunteers.
- To make sure people know what they are letting themselves in for when they accept an appointment as a manager of volunteers.
- To point out to employers what they should be looking for.
- To ensure volunteers get a good deal.
There is no reason more important than this last point.
Here are a few questions for starters, with my answers. Additions and amendments totally welcome.
What does it take to become a manager of volunteers?
Physical and mental stamina.
Ability to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Managers of volunteers do not have to be a Hamlet, nor suffer his fate, but by heck you might have to work hard at ensuring your organisation understands why volunteers are involved and what they contribute, and then make sure everyone appreciates and values each volunteer.
All blessings if you do not have to be such a staunch advocate, but I bet there will be other challenges to test what you are made of.
How do I get there?
Well, sorry folks, there isn't really a professional career path to follow, though we are trying to get this going. Mostly you can fall into the job through your years of voluntary service, or there is a Sits Vac advertisement that catches your eye just when you are thinking of changing jobs. Or you are employed part-time, and hello – you could do manage volunteers as well, couldn't you?
And for some people, when you do get there the job is like nothing else and you want to stay there forever. For some people. For others, it might be the job to run from as fast as you can.
What do I need to know?
Ah – Ummm – Well……… Actually there is a whole heap of stuff, but we haven't quite put it into a marketable package just yet. Or you can choose from a whole lot of different packages. There is general agreement that core knowledge of Recruitment and Retention, Training and Support and Rewards is essential, though you should really go a lot further than this. Everyone has different ideas on exactly what a manager of volunteers needs know. You need to be selective, to pick what fits with your organisation, to mix it with your personal style and then add a stir or two of downright commonsense.
And how do I learn?
Yeah – well most people just learn on the job. There are training programmes dedicated to managing volunteers, from university courses to one-off seminars – both international and local. And that sets up a question of 'what don't I know?' and 'which course is right for me?' Which is a bit troubling to answer if I have not figured what I need to know: that is the first question to address.
There are also lots of learning opportunities in joining a local network for managers of volunteers. Contact your local Volunteer Centre to find out what they offer.
What are the rewards?
Discovering the joys of watching other people (the volunteers) grow and develop their personal skills
Seeing how a well-run volunteer programme can work wonders for the organisation.
Taking pride in your contribution to making the volunteer programme work; acknowledging your own skills and abilities.
Being part of an organisation that espouses values you believe in, and is active in working towards those values.
There are lots of challenges in becoming a manager of volunteers. Have a look at recent research publications:
From People First, Total Solutions, Martin J Cowling's Global Survey (2008) – see particularly the Volunteer Leadership Data http://www.pfts.com.au/documents/0805GLOBALVOLUNTEERMANAGEMENTSURVEYDRAFT6-4.pdf
Victoria University (Karen Smith and Carolyn Cordery): Managers Matter: A Survey of Volunteer Management Capacity in New Zealand. (June, 2010) http://www.victoria.ac.nz/fca/research-services/volunteer-management-research.aspx.
Valuing Volunteer Management Skills (September 2010), published by the Institute for Volunteering Research (UK) http://www.ivr.org.uk/aboutus/News The following paragraph comes from the forward of this research:
"There is a lot of good practice in volunteer management across the sector, but [the report] highlights the need for training and development to plug key skills gaps among people who manage volunteers. It also identifies that volunteer management remains undervalued and under-funded in many organisations, including those with largest incomes."
I rest my case on the need for a better deal for managers of volunteers.

Thanks for the link to our survey!
Enjoyed the blog–as usual!!
Great piece of writing. I agree we could have a website that deals with this issue alone. I particularly warmed to your "Taking pride in your contribution to making the volunteer programme work; acknowledging your own skills and abilities."
I would change "What does it take to become a manager of volunteers? To "What does it take to become a good and effective manager of volunteers?:
Because right now well anyone can become a "manager of volunteers"
Lets not kid ourselves that some organisations "like" the idea of having volunteers and then ask "Sheila from accounts" to "look after" the vollies"
I have spoken to many organisations and groups about my "Sheila from accounts". And you know what? I don't blame Sheila at all..in fact Sheila sometimes goes on to be a dedicated Volunteer manager!
I am downright irritated with organisations that "lump" the role of Volunteer management on employees with other roles. It simply demonstrates a lack of understanding of volunteer management.
Imagine the reaction if "john from finance" was approached by the CEO one day and asked to "look after" the employees by becoming the HR Manager as well. Balderdash! It would never happen. And it shouldn't happen with management of volunteers either.
Again Sue – a great piece. I only hope that some CEOs and boards and other management read it too. Then we can ensure that we move away from our echo chambers. How can we make this happen?

Custom Shop Guns and a Raging Hunter
The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesale Show, NASGW, is an established beginning for dealers to plan the upcoming year. For manufacturers, it's a time to introduce a few new products and, more importantly, run show specials for dealers looking to carry their products. Well, the media are there to get a glimpse of new guns and gear launched at the show. Here are a few we located while attending NASGW.
My favorite of the NASGW was the Ruger SR1911 Custom Shop pistol. I think we can all agree that guns that make us shoot better are worth mentioning. The gun was designed and developed by world-champion Doug Koenig. From the moment I picked up the 9mm, it fell into a comfortable grip and every trigger pull broke effortlessly. This is one of those guns that gets any-level shooter excited. I spoke with multiple folks, and they all agreed they didn't need more guns, but after shooting the SR1911 they'd found their next purchase. I don't know how you get any better reviews than that? Want to find out more? CLICK HERE.
I'm a self-described newbie when it comes to handgun hunting. I appreciate the sport but haven't had much time behind the guns. Taurus launched the Raging Hunter last year at SHOT Show, but I hadn't had an opportunity to shoot it, until now. I was surprised by the 44 Magnum's low recoil. The Raging Hunter didn't buck at all, which made shooting off-hand a pleasant experience. When shooting it, it had more of a push and less of a jolt than many big-caliber hand-cannons. Okay, I'm not a fan of the name, but the overall experience was great. Want to find out more? CLICK HERE.
If you aren't in the habit of carrying a flashlight in your EDC, you need to start. Walking the show in the waning minutes, I stopped by the Streamlight booth for a gander at the Microstream USB Pocket Light. Why USB? Because now you can recharge your light by USB instead of purchasing new batteries every few months. This one was a great floor find. We all have USB cords, which makes charging the Microstream a no-brainer. Want to find out more? CLICK HERE.
I don't need an M30-IMP, but shooting the Inland Patrol Pistol was sure fun. The 30 Carbine would work great for officers on motorbikes. This pistol tucks away nicely and was surprisingly accurate. Felt recoil was non-existent due to the Sage Enhanced Battle Rifle stock. Shooters have ambi-controls and a Picatinny rail for mounting optics. If you have a chance to shoot one, go right ahead. Want to find out more? CLICK HERE.
The Steel City didn't disappoint, and manufacturers didn't either. There are some guns coming down the path that you'll have to wait for, but take it from Gun Talk when we say it's going to be a great SHOT Show this year.
The Gun Talk crew constantly scours these shows for new and innovative guns and gear to share with our audience. If you have certain items you'd like to see featured, reach out to us and we'll give it a look. ~ KJ

Bird Scooters – here to stay, or time for them to fly away
September 27, 2018
Bird Scooters, the battery-powered rideshare service that is taking over San Diego. Since their start one year ago, in September of 2017, they have climbed up the rideshare ladder, and have been putting up an electric competition to the other rideshare services, most importantly the ride share bicycles. Yet, they have been receiving an incredible amount of backlash from the public in several places.
An Instagram account named @birdgraveyard has been sharing hundreds of photos of scooters being destroyed. In one of their latest videos, a bird scooter is thrown from what appears to be a six-story parking garage. In another, a white pick up truck running over another one of the infamous electric scooters. The page goes on and on, with the documentation of the destruction of the electric scooters.
It appears that the public isn't the only ones that are frustrated with the flocking birds. According to a Fox 11 article published on Jul 23, 2018, "Santa Monica PD told FOX 11 that over the weekend, they made 900 stops and seized 250 electric scooters." Even closer to home, NBC San Diego published a story on Sep 3, 2018, of a man who was hit in the Gaslamp riding one of the scooters. This makes residents wonder, is the valuable time of public emergency response services being taken over, just like the unsightly scooters are taking up the sidewalks?
Then again, can we blame the rideshare companies for the actions of its users? When car accidents happen, the blame is never put on Toyota or Ford, it's put on the operator of the vehicle. Upon the many gripes that citizens have against them, they do offer some undeniable conveniences. For starters, download the app, find yourself a scooter, pay the price, and you're on your way to your destination, without the sweat inducing pedaling of the rideshare bicycles. Scooters are much easier to ride than bicycles and let's face it, it's hard to walk 3 blocks in San Diego without finding at least one of them waiting, perched up on the sidewalk, waiting for you to step right on up, and go for a ride.
One of it's biggest selling points of the e-scoots is their dock-less ability, basically being able to leave them wherever the user pleases. Which is also one of it's biggest downfalls. Without a central docking station, the scooters seem to be left wherever users please. In front of driveways, in the street, or as @birdgraveyard has so courteously shown us, on fire in the middle of the sidewalk.
One thing is for certain though, they are becoming more convenient for the e-scoot riders. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB2989, a bill that will let riders of electric scooters mount them without helmets, as long as the users are 18 years old or older. It will also raise the speed limit for the e-scoots in some cities from a comfortable 25 mph to a stellar 35 mph. It certainly looks like the flock of birds won't be easily chased off by angry Instagram users.

MAYOR: 'This has been the biggest test for me and council'
ONE year exactly until her first leadership term comes to an end, Southern Downs Mayor Tracy Dobie says she is now taking unprecedented action in the face of her biggest test yet.
Leading more than 35,000 people and 4000 businesses through the region's worst drought in the history has admittedly been a struggle for the Mayor.
"We can't make it rain and we have ageing water infrastructure that is under stress," she said.
"At the same time we have to make sure we are delivering as a local government. We have a lot of other services we have to deliver like upgrading roads, servicing our libraries, swimming pools."
But with a suite of steps now in place to ensure water security across the entire Southern Downs for decades to come, Cr Dobie said today's council was doing was previous local leaders had not.
"We are making real progress in our region and that keeps me going," she said.
Groundwater exploration, water pressure reduction, recycled water projects and leak detection technology are all come as part of a suite of concrete measures revealed in a recent SDRC water security progress report.
The mayor said now was the time to do the things that previous councils had neglected to undertake.
"All of these measures should have been put in place during or at the end of the last drought or the one before that," she said.
"This council is determined to put in place these measures and infrastructure projects now so they are there next time we face a drought."
Former mayor Ron Bellingham said previous councils should not be blamed for the current situation.
"In my term our council fronted this twice and the same situation we are fronting now," he said.
"Yes we were rescued by the rain.
"But it is always a balancing act between trying to find a solution between state government and council."
He said trying to secure new water came at a cost to ratepayers and that was difficult.
Cr Dobie admitted this drought has been her biggest test as mayor.
She said trying to address emergency water issues while continuing to provide other services to ratepayers put added pressure on the council.
But looking back at how far the council had come in its first three years was what inspired her to press on.
"We have received over $70 million for funding in our region in the last three years," she said.
"The has been more development applications and more project than ever before."

The Synth Eastwood associates is a Dublin group of performers which employ music, art and technology. Their aim is to present their work all around the world, but they avoid the label "exhibition" and prefer mutual sharing based on a joyful show.
Synth eastwood is a Dublin based music, art and technology group of performers. Their aim is to present creative work from around the world in an atmosphere more akin to a gig than an exhibition. As part of the advertised interactivity, artists of every field and level of experience are invited to participate in their performances. The group regularly sets themes on their website for anybody to externalize in a visual performance with unlimited creativity. These visuals become the basis for the richly structured Synth eastwood performances, including DJing, VJing and interaction with the audience through the use of customized interactive controls, gismos and mobile installations. Since the first exhibition of this profile in May of 2006, the number of artists submitting has doubled for each show while international interest keeps growing. Among the latest themes were, for instance, Flags and Anthems, Cycles, Worship and Berlin. Cycles represents the latest project; also presented in full at the Turnov festival in October 2008. The theme of the project, the film program, and the posters in varied styles, ensure that this year's PAF will reveal the specifics of the Irish approach to art. During the festival, 12 posters will be posted in the Konvikt exhibition space, presenting both Cycles and previous projects.

Nbl standings post nba games
Have our pre season rankings changed after the nba v nbl series?
I think there is some truths revealed but also some myths that won't translate to the nbl season.
Truths: a bad night on either wnd of the floor probably spells a loss to any team, bad night om both (thanks perth) disaster!
Adelaides pace and attack at the basket will hurt most teams. Their bench won't.
NZ will be better than most think, shawn long could be a game changer.
Bogut is Sydney's most important player.
T white amd dj kennedy will struggle. They are not nba 3's they might not even be nba 2's. In the nbl this won't be a problem, give them a few games.
Perth is as bad as the utah game and united as bad as the raptors game.
Just a few thoughts.
My ladder would be cairns and brisbane at the bottom with the other 6 in any order. Injuries and the capacity to replace injured players will play a significant role this year imo.

Room To Grow started out as a competition between my friend and I, but escalated into a simple interesting puzzleish game. You start out extremely zoomed in and on level 1, with 0 points and 300 health. Your goal is to get the required score for the level and move on, but along the way you will need to attempt to collect zoomer orbs; purple orbs that zoom out the camera slightly. Currently I update the game ever 2~3 days, and with each updates usually comes a new level.
Shabda is an early prototype of a upcoming game that relies completely on spatial 3d(binaural) sound for navigation. There is a difference between 3d audio and spatial(binaural audio). Binaural audio uses special sounds to trick your brain to position sounds in 3d space as if they were real. With that, you can actually understand how close, far, up or down something is in relation to your head. A first prototype demo is also available with a simple demonstration of game mechanics. In order to run and play it with spatial sound, you need to enable HRTF in your sound system. Please note that without HRTF enabled, it will be close to impossible to play Shabda, as the sounds will just be regular stereo.

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie says the Federal Government's blanket ban on alcohol in Northern Territory Aboriginal communities is an election gimmick that will not work.
But Mr Beattie says he agrees with most of the other measures put forward by the Prime Minister and his Indigenous Minister to combat child abuse in remote Indigenous communities.
The radical plan, which includes a six-month alcohol ban, welfare restrictions and medical checks for all Indigenous children, has the support of the federal Labor leader, Kevin Rudd.
Mr Beattie says alcohol management plans are working well in Queensland's Indigenous communities and a complete ban would not work.
"I do not support the blanket ban of six months," he said.
"If Kevin wants to support it, that's fine, but I don't.
"And the reason for that is really simple and I just ask Australians to think about this - what happens when you come off the six months of grog?
"You either go back on another binge or you move somewhere else into another community."

Plumb Line #6: Live Sufficiently, Give Extravagantly
Plumb lines are a series of short, pithy statements that we, at the Summit, use as rallying points—both for our staff and for the entire church. They are a way to encapsulate our ministry philosophy in short, memorable phrases.
Plumb Line #6 at the Summit is: "Live sufficiently, give extravagantly."
Certain topics in Scripture aren't questions to be solved so much as they're tensions to be balanced. Our approach to money falls into that category. We know, on one hand, that God gives us richly all things to enjoy. We also know, on the other hand, that he calls us to use our resources for the world just as Jesus used his for us. Emphasizing the first truth without the second leads to the false prosperity gospel. Emphasizing the second without the first might look more impressive for a while, but soon leads to burnout and frustration.
I firmly believe, however, that most of us in the American church think we're far more "balanced" than we actually are. I know for myself that the inertia of my heart tips toward money idolatry. I find it far easier to enjoy what God has given me than to be open-handed and generous. That's why, at every stage in my life, I re-challenge myself on this. It's why our church keeps returning to it. Because if we don't continually ask God to re-shape our habits about money, we're going to end up idolizing it. No one falls into biblical generosity by accident.
That's why at the Summit, we're constantly reminding ourselves of this idolatrous drift by saying, "Live sufficiently, give extravagantly." Most people want to swap that, giving just enough and living large on the rest. It's a contagious attitude. But the encouraging thing is that generosity can be contagious, too. When we see people consistently giving with joy, it makes generosity fun.
People have legitimate questions about money. I hear them all the time. The most common is, "How much is enough?" To that I have two answers, and one caveat.
My first answer is that while there isn't anything wrong with nice things, the balance should always tilt toward generosity. We're far greedier creatures than we imagine, and it's a good practice to uproot that idolatry as often as possible. As C.S. Lewis said, the only safe rule he could think of when it came to generosity was to give more than you feel like you can spare.
The second answer is that we should ask God to show us. The Apostle Paul says that generosity is a Spirit gift (Romans 12:8), which means that the Spirit of God moves on your heart about what you, individually, are supposed to give. I'm not saying that we should only give when we have a tingly moment, because Paul also says that our planning should be disciplined and systematic (1 Cor 16:2). But I am saying that we should seek the Spirit's counsel on how He wants us to be giving. In new seasons, He may surprise us by putting his finger on something we didn't expect.
And now, the caveat: many people who ask, "How much do I have to give?" don't get the gospel. They may be Christians. They may believe the gospel. But they aren't letting the gospel affect their wallets. Our money is a barometer for our heart, which is why Jesus talked about it so much. So we shouldn't be asking, "How much is enough" in an attempt to get God off our backs. Instead, we should ask, What do our decisions about money say about where our treasure is, what we trust in, and what kingdom we're living for? You see, I can give away 30% of my income and still love the 70% more than I love Jesus. That's just as sinful as loving the 100%.
Only an experience with the gospel changes our heart's attitude toward money. Remember: God doesn't need our money. He's not wringing his hands in heaven, wishing his people could just cough up a few more dollars because then he'd really have something to work with. He doesn't want to get the money out of our pocketbooks; he wants to get the idols out of our hearts.
That's why 2 Corinthians 9:7 says that God loves a cheerful giver. If God had needs, he wouldn't care why you gave; he would only care that you gave. I've never gotten a letter from the IRS saying, "Yes, you paid the legal amount, but we sense that it wasn't joyful giving. We're concerned about your motives." No, the IRS needs money, so that's their bottom line.
But (thankfully) God isn't like the IRS. God loves cheerful giving because gospel giving is primarily about worship and joy, not meeting needs. I have heard it said that God measures our generosity not by the size of our gifts, but by the size of our sacrifice, because sacrifice expresses the affections of our heart to God.
And if we find ourselves growing stingy and fearful once again, the answer is not to try harder. The answer is to look back at the cross, where God was lavishly generous with us. Because those people who truly experience the gospel become like the gospel—overflowing with grace.

The stomach flu is a rather common thing that most people will experience at least one time in their life. Stomach flu ranges in intensity. It can also range from as short as 24 hours to as long as 10 days. Symptoms of a stomach flu will commonly include: nausea, diarrhea, cramps, vomiting, sometimes a fever.
Easy Home Solutions for Stomach Flu
In this article, we will provide you with home remedies for stomach flu. Each one of the remedies provided will come with a list of the necessary items. We will also offer you steps on how to complete the remedies. These alternatives should prove less expensive than going to the doctor.
We would also recommend trying out these home remedies for diarrhea, as this is one of the most common and stressful symptoms of stomach flu.
1. Bananas
Bananas are a good way to keep something in your stomach without making you feel too sick. This fruit is good at keeping the acids in your stomach in check, helping to reduce pain and vomiting. Bananas are part of what is called the 'BRAT' diet. The BRAT diet includes bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. Because they are soft, bananas are also easier to eat and swallow when your throat is in pain from being sick.
Necessary Items
- Bananas
- Eat a banana when you start feeling hungry.
- If the idea of chewing makes you feel sick, try mashing them up. Then, you can swallow small spoonfuls of it.
2. Cold Compress
A cold compress is going to be more for comfort than for anything else. Though it may not stop your cramps or vomiting, a cold compress can help bring you peace while you are sick. If you have a fever, then it is especially helpful to keep you comfortable with a higher temperature. You can make a cold compress out of anything. Most people choose to lay a cool cloth on their foreheads. You can also wrap a bag of frozen peas in a thin towel and put in on your head.
Necessary Items
- Thin cotton towel or washcloth
- Wet a small hand towel or washcloth with cool water.
- Place it over your forehead after wringing it out.
3. Heat
If you have stomach cramps accompanying your stomach flu, heat may be able to help. Heat is able to relax the muscles that are cramping. This should provide you with relief. You can get heat in any way you want. If you have a heating pad, you can use that. If you do not, there are inexpensive microwavable heat pack options. For instance, you can put dry rice inside of a large sock and heat it up for 30 seconds. This is one of the most inexpensive home remedies for stomach flu.
Necessary Items
- Put a heating pad on your stomach.
Necessary Items
- Uncooked rice
- Sock
- Put rice in a sock.
- Warm it in the microwave for half a minute.
4. Clear Fluids
As mentioned, when you have a stomach bug, dehydration is a big risk. You need to drink plenty of fluids without upsetting your stomach even more. The best way to do that is through clear liquids. You need to also forgo caffeinated beverages as well as carbonated and sugary ones. Water is key. You can also drink electrolyte-rich drinks such as Pedialyte. Go for the unflavored kind. Regardless of the treatment you take, these home remedies for stomach flu are essential.
Necessary Items
- Clear fluids like electrolyte drinks and water
- Sip on clear fluids throughout the day as often as you can.
- Try to drink them at room temperature. It is less likely to irritate your stomach and may be easier to drink.
5. Ice Chips
Ice chips are another easy way to avoid the danger of dehydration. If you find it difficult to drink anything, you can suck on ice cubes. They will melt slowly in your mouth instead of you having to consume large amounts of liquid. Ice chips make it easy to get liquids into your system without upsetting your stomach with sips of water. Because ice is commonplace in most homes, it is a free and easily accessible home remedy.
Necessary Items
- Ice chips
- Regularly throughout the day, suck on ice chips.
- Try to suck on them as often as possible, but try not to make yourself sick doing so.
6. Stop Eating Temporarily
When you are vomiting, it is important to limit the food you eat. Throwing up means that you are losing fluids. This will ultimately dehydrate you and make your stomach flu symptoms worse in the end. Furthermore, having food in your stomach might only make it hurt worse. When you are nauseated, try to refrain from eating for a few hours. Once you feel as if you can keep something down, eat something light and bland.
Make an attempt to put several hours in between your meals. When you eat something at first, eat only bland food. Be sure you drink only clear liquids.
7. Rice Water
Rice water comes from the water left over after you boil brown rice. It is full of electrolytes. Electrolytes are lost when you are vomiting or have diarrhea. Sipping on rice water can help you stay hydrated without further upsetting your stomach. Studies have also shown that it may be able to ease or stop diarrhea completely. Rice is a staple in the cupboards of many kitchens. For this reason, it is a virtually free home remedy for stomach flu.
Necessary Items
- Brown rice
- Water
- Bring water to a boil.
- Cook the rice.
- Remove the rice from the water.
- Allow the water to cool completely.
- Sip on the water throughout the day.
8. Yogurt
Typically, dairy products are advised against when sick. Yogurt is the exception. Yogurt is full of probiotics, which are beneficial, live bacteria. These probiotics are able to help balance out the bad bacteria making you sick. This can help to balance out your whole digestive system. In turn, you may be able to heal faster. It is important that you get plain, unsweetened yogurt; sugar will likely only upset your stomach.
Necessary Items
- Plain, unsweetened yogurt
- Eat small amounts of yogurt throughout the day.
- Try not to eat too much at once as not to upset your stomach.
- Space out the time between eating the yogurt to give your stomach a break.
9. Mint
Mint is one of the most commonly used herbs for those suffering from issues with their stomachs. It has soothing properties that are able to quell nausea. Mint is also known to be able to help with any uncomfortable symptoms of indigestion. This makes it great for helping to stop any diarrhea while also being able to stop your vomiting. It is best to sip on mint tea that is fresh in order to get the best results. It is perhaps one of the most popular home remedies for stomach flu of all time, and mint tea also helps you solve two problems at once.
Necessary Items
- Mint leaves
- Water
- Boil water on the stove.
- Put mint leaves into a mug.
- Pour the hot water into the mug.
- Let it steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain the tea.
- Once it is cooled, sip on the tea throughout the day.
10. Kefir
Kefir is a fermented milk drink. This drink offers you probiotics in the same way that yogurt does. As mentioned, probiotics make it easier to balance out your gut bacteria. This can, in turn, help you with getting over the stomach flu faster. By replenishing good bacteria in the gut, you can help to restore the health of your digestive system. Find kefir in most grocery stores. You can also find it in most any health food store.
Necessary Items
- Kefir
- Sip on kefir throughout the day.
- Try to only drink it in small amounts. This will help you to not overload your stomach.
- Drink a bit of water throughout the day while drinking the kefir.
11. Ginger
Ginger is a common home remedy for any stomach issue. This is because it is naturally soothing and helps calm nausea. Not only this, but ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory. By reducing the swelling, you can significantly take away the pain in your stomach. Ginger is not only an anti-inflammatory but a digestive aid, as well. This can help your stomach digest food healthily to prevent vomiting and diarrhea.
Necessary Items
- Ginger tea bags
- Water
- Boil water.
- In a large mug, place two ginger tea bags.
- Pour the boiling water over the tea bags.
- Allow it to steep for 15 minutes.
- Let the tea cool.
- Sip on the tea throughout the day.
12. Tea (Rooibos, Fennel and/or Chamomile)
Red tea, also known by the names rooibos and bush, is perfect for calming down your digestive system. This tea has been used for a long time to soothe stomach cramps and pain. You can drink any of the above teas; they all have soothing properties that can help your stomach. Other gastric symptoms that this tea may help include:
- Bloating
- Cramping
- Gas
- Indigestion
Necessary Items
- Rooibos, fennel and/or chamomile tea
- Put the tea into a large mug.
- Boil some water.
- Pour the boiling water into the mug with the bags.
- Let the tea steep for 20 minutes.
- Once it is cooled all the way, sip on it.
- Try to keep drinking it throughout the day.
13. Apple Cider Vinegar
While apple cider vinegar might not sound appealing, it is something that many people believe works. The acid in the vinegar may be able to help with the cramps and gas that comes with stomach flu. Apple cider vinegar is one of the most common vinegar; you likely already have it in your home. If you do not, it is cheap to buy at any grocery store.
Necessary Items
- Apple cider vinegar
- Honey
- Water
- Heat up one cup of water.
- Mix together a single tablespoon of honey and a single tablespoon of the vinegar.
- Mix that into the water.
- Drink the water slowly over the course of the day.
14. Probiotic Supplements
If you want to get those healthy probiotics into your stomach without eating, you can. Simply take some probiotic supplements instead of yogurt or kefir. These supplements are full of the good bacteria your gut needs. Oftentimes, they possess greater numbers of this bacteria in order to make it more effective. You can find probiotic pills in most pharmacies. Use these home remedies for stomach flu only following your doctor's recommendations.
Necessary Items
- Take the probiotic capsules as directed on the bottle. You can talk to your
Stomach Flu
doctor to figure out which of the three strains of bacteria are best for stomach flu.
- It is usually recommended that you take these supplements on an empty stomach for best results.
15. Crackers and Pretzels
You can get dehydrated very quickly with stomach flu. For this reason, you need to make sure you are keeping as much water within you as possible. One of the best ways to do this is with crackers and pretzels. Not only are they bland, which is good for your stomach, but they are full of salt, which helps you retain water.
Necessary Items
- Eat these as light snacks throughout the day.

BANCROFT Mill at Barnoldswick will hold a special steaming on Tuesday, August 2. It is being been arranged to coincide with a visit to the UK from Australia by one of James Nutter's great-granddaughters, who is keen to discover something of her family history. James, an experienced weaver, was the driving force behind the construction of the Gillians Lane mill, but, sadly, died before it opened in 1920. Now, the trust which runs the mill museum is extending an invitation to other descendants of James to get in touch if they want to come along too. For more information, email email@example.com
A VISIT to RAF Menwith Hill was one of the highlights of the year for outgoing Craven District Council chairman, Robert Mason. "I've been inside one of the domes, it wasn't very interesting, but I can say I've been in one," he told the annual council meeting. Cllr Mason told his fellow councillors he had enjoyed his year as Craven's first citizen enormously and had done many things he would never have thought possible. "I nearly met the Queen, and I was on the telly. I've done many things I'd never done before and will never do again," he said. "I'm a bit sad about giving it up, but I'm very honoured to have done it," he said.
I SEEM to spend my life looking for my glasses - so I could totally sympathise with sports legend Roger Ingham when he misplaced his specs on a recent visit to Skipton. He retraced his steps to no avail. Just when he thought he had seen the last of his glasses (excuse the pun), he received a phone call from an apologetic lady from Cross Hills. It appears that she had picked up his glasses case, along with her potatoes etc, when she shopped at the fruit and veg stall outside Dorothy Perkins in Skipton High Street.
THE Steeton-based Girder Fork and Classic Motorcycle Club will hold its charity Big Bike Sunday show later this month, with funds going to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice and the Association for Riders with a Disability. But it has a problem. It lost its store of raffle and tombola prizes when its Dalton Mill workshop fell victim to the Boxing Day floods. "We need to make up somehow," said member Brian Sanderson. The club is now appealing for prizes or donations, no matter how small. They can be sent to Mr Sanderson at 2 The Coppice, Sutton-in-Craven, Keighley, BD20 8BT or call 07931 312579. The show will take place at Skipton Auction Mart on Sunday, June 26.
ALL sorts of interesting snippets are found in the old Craven Heralds. In 1916, it was reported that the Long Preston maypole had been taken down, after being condemned by the then parish council. The 40ft pole had been originally put up on October 19, 1891. Half the cost had been paid for by Alderman Lister, and the remainder by 39 other subscribers. It was the third maypole to be erected on the same spot. At 12ft from the ground, a ring and hooks had been placed, to which the scholars of the village danced and plaited the maypole. At the time it was put up in1891, the name of the nearby hotel reverted to its original name of The Maypole, it having for a time been known by the autocratic name of The Eagle.
LOCAL footballers are being challenged to put their skills to the test. Football Runner - which designs and runs football obstacle courses throughout the UK - is putting on an event at Thornton Hall Farm, Thornton-in-Craven, on Sunday, June 26. The course will test skill, fitness and mental strength and will include a zorb gauntlet, football catchers, tyre strike and the hay bale tower. "It's great for teamwork and boosting morale before the new season," says a Football Runner spokesman. "We urge football teams to raise money for their clubs to buy new kit and equipment, but if you're not part of a team, you can raise money for Diversions or MND." The event is aimed at amateur semi-professional and professional football teams as well as five, six and seven-a-side teams. Players can also sign up as an individual or create a team of 11 or more. There will be courses for youths (11 to 16 year olds) and adults. For more information, visit footballrunner.co.uk
OUT walking across the Lancashire border in the beautiful Sabden Valley, my colleague came across this vaccary wall. The wall, close to Ratten Clough Farm, and not far from Churn Clough Reservoir, is believed to be the oldest in the valley. Vaccary originally meant 'cow pasture' and the walls appear in grazing land across Yorkshire and Lancashire. In the 13th century, many vaccaries were created and the stone slabs were put in place to keep the cattle in the pastures.
SPECSAVERS has issued a final call for entries in its the Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards. By sharing a selfie before the July 3 deadline, glasses wearers in Craven could be in with a chance of winning a trip to New York and £10,000. Now in its 21st year, the competition raises valuable funds for anti-bullying charity Kidscape. Justine Sturtivant, store director at Specsavers in Skipton, says: "This is the last chance for people in Skipton to showcase their specs appeal to the whole country. We're encouraging glasses wearers to upload a selfie at loveglasses.specsavers.co.uk today, it couldn't be easier." The competition has five age categories – 16 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 59 and over 60s plus a Facebook favourite voted for by the public. A winner from each category will win a VIP makeover and will mingle with celebrities at an awards ceremony in London in October.

African Safari Guide: Checklist
Here are some things to pack for your safari:
- Camera – Choose a good camera and practice shooting with it before you go. Don't forget to take plenty of extra memory cards and batteries. You don't want to run out of space early in your trip – and batteries can be expensive abroad.
- Paperwork – Your passport, visa, tickets and immunization records need to be accessible but safe. Don't pack these in your checked luggage, and make sure you always know where they are.
- Sunscreen and bug repellant – Since Africa is close to the equator, the sun's rays are strong, and a bad burn can ruin your trip. Choose sunscreen with a high SPF (15 or higher). Even if bugs don't bite you normally, take insect repellant to keep mosquitoes at bay to prevent malaria.
- Lip balm and eye drops -- The sun and wind will play havoc with your lips and eyes.
- Clothing – Depending on the time of year, temperatures can vary. Pack comfortable clothing that you can layer when it's chilly and peel off during the hottest part of the day. Stick with neutral colors, since bright colors and white can scare off animals [source: Morgan-Shott]. Women should wear comfortable pants or long skirts and T-shirts, not tank tops, if they'll be traveling to Muslim countries.
- Hat and Sunglasses – That strong sun I talked about before? It's serious business. Cover up!
- AC/DC Converter – If you're bringing electronics, you may need a converter to charge them. Check if you need an adaptor for your plugs as well.
- Comfortable Shoes – Sneakers might be OK but hiking boots might be better depending on where you'll be walking.
- Rain Gear – Traveling during the rainy season? Pack a slicker and make sure that your hiking boots are waterproof.
- Guide Book and Phrase Book – Extra knowledge is a good thing.
- Medical Supplies – It might feel like overkill, but take malaria tablets, iodine tablets (to purify drinking water), anti-diarrheal medication, motion sickness medication, and rehydration salts [source: Fama]. If you do get sick, you'll be glad you did!

After placing her hand on her grandfather's Bible and taking her oath of office Monday night, Missouri City native Yolanda Ford made history as the first woman and first black to hold the mayor's seat.
Then she quickly gave a brief example of who she is by thanking God, her family, and those who supported her in her election victory over 39-year incumbent Mayor Allen Owen.
She acknowledged that the runoff race was close between her and Owen.
"I know we have a lot of differences, but with that, we have to learn to appreciate our differences so we can work together to get things done. We have to learn to work together as brothers or we will perish as fools," she said to an appreciative, standing-room-only crowd that spilled over into the basement of City Hall to watch the event streamed live on television.
Ford's first official action as mayor was to swear in Chris Preston, councilman at-large in Position 2, who maintained his seat.
"I'm starting my third term a proud product of Missouri City. I am proud of this community. The schools raised me, my neighbors invested in me and looked out for me, the churches prayed for me. I owe a debt to this community and I will pay that debt in full. We have a lot of unfinished work so let's get back to it," said Preston.
Next, Ford thanked Owen.
"You have served this community well since July 1983 by exemplary dedication to the best interest of the community and deserve the admiration and high regard," she said.
He, too, thanked God and those who supported him. He noted that Missouri City has come a long way since he first started with a population of 24,000.
"We've come a long way and worked with a lot of councils and a lot of great staff. I look back over the years and we are not a bedroom community, we are the industrial giant of Fort Bend County," Owen said.
The swearing-in ceremony attracted legislators and well-wishers including State Rep. Jarvis Johnson, who described Ford as a lifelong friend.
"You have a friend in the State House who will do all I can to assure your success. Missouri City, you have a fantastic mayor," he said.
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee thanked Owen for his service and the smooth transition of power that she said captures the essence of democracy. Then Lee spoke to Mayor Ford.
"It is important to affirm that you make an enormous statement of history, a history that speaks to a new trajectory in the state of Texas that we have moved to a place where people are elected on the basis of credentials, irrespective of race. You are the first African-American woman to be elected mayor and this is no small measure. And no one should take it as excluding anyone. If you love service, you can serve all the people," said Lee.
Finally, Diana Waters, spokeswoman for State Sen. Boris Miles, read a proclamation congratulating and recognizing Ford, who graduated from Dulles High School, earned a bachelor degree in psychology from the University of Houston and a master of architecture from Prairie View A&M University.
Ford began her career as an urban planner and land development specialist.
"She grew from designing non-profit programs to overseeing multimillion developments, facilitating vast land acquisitions and managing $42 million revenue fund. She leveraged her expertise in grassroots campaigning to focus on economic development, public safety and revitalizing aging infrastructure" the proclamation says. "She is deeply engaged in her community, given generously of her time to make a better place and reflect with pride leading the city into a new era of progress."
