Kindergarten Vision Statement:
To cultivate opportunities and experiences which supports high early years outcomes, so children are well equipped to begin their formal education with confidence, competence and an eagerness to learn.
Our Program
Our program uses The Early Years Learning Framework and The Victorian Early Years Learning Framework to support teaching strategies specific to children's interests as well as foundational domains of learning, such as numeracy, literacy, science and technology, social and emotional development, music, drama, art, civics and citizenship.
We teach the same curriculum as a sessional kindergarten and provide families with the flexibility of having an integrated service incorporating care before and after the kindergarten program, Monday to Friday.
Emphasis is to establish an early love for learning especially in areas such as language an literacy. As research shows an environment which has a strong focus in these learning domains sets children up to succeed in other areas such as numeracy, mathematical concepts, science and technology. We also understand that all children are different and are guided by their interests to begin to introduce curriculum points of learning. In fact our learning begins in the babies room and as our children progress through the centre, the links to their developmental milestones are visible to parents and educators. Our staff make this possible, with first forming those strong attachments with each child to maximise their care, learning and a love for learning. This is what the kinder program aims to do, by introducing children to experience a wide variety of learning and play programs, they begin to learn how to learn. This is significantly important, especially in the year before children start their formal education.

- Storytelling
- Dramatic play / role playing
- Communication – show and tell
Mathematical Concepts
- Numbers and measurements
- Shapes and spatial recognition, geometry
- Patterning, sorting and classification
The Arts

School Readiness - Positive Transition to School
Our school readiness programs beings in term 1 with those early conversations with parents about their child's interests, family connections, what their child already knows and how our kindergarten program can enhance their learning and daily integration into the program. Our programs are designed to engage children and promote a love of learning so that they can thrive at school with confidence. Our curriculum is planned with activities and discussions that use transferrable skills such using mathematical concepts in cooking and measuring to discussing health and well-being, science concepts for cooking, civics and citizenship for delivering cooked products for the homeless through the soup bus. The conversations don't stop at our kinder program.
Your child is observed, and programs planned around their strengths as well as using supportive mechanisms to introduce new learning. For example, one on one time with the kindergarten teacher to develop early literacy and vocabulary skills. Literacy being fundamental to all other domains of learning.
Throughout the year, our kindergarten teacher is available to discuss your child's progress and development. Early intervention is discussed if needed and supports put in place should your child need this. Parental support and participation is encouraged to ensure information, observations and interventions are given in a timely manner to prepare your child for school.
Our kindergarten teacher will develop a transition learning and development statement for your child's prep teacher. The transition learning and development statement helps to outline your child's interests, style of learning, skills and abilities. It gives a picture of your child to the prep teacher so that a sense of familiarity is in place, even before your child starts school.
Our Kindergarten Teacher
Our kindergarten teacher has over 25 years' experience working with the City of Ballarat as well as private organisations. She holds a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and a Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood).

Supporting children to achieve and master learning so that they progress along proficiently and build an existing knowledge to create new knowledge, all within our well-resourced and innovative centre. Our kinder teacher lets children get hands on, experiment, question, test and discuss and become masters of their creations whether in play or structured activities.

North Dakota's Agriculture Department says it has already received 43 responses to a survey of North Dakota farmers who may have seen crop damage from the herbicide dicamba.
The herbicide is to be used only on resistant crops. But damage from drift has been reported.
The 43 responses involve 20,500 acres of cropland. There have been 41 formal complaints.
"People who file formal complaints seeking damage compensation from the person who was responsible for the dicamba drift need to notify that applicator with a certified letter within 28 days of noticing the damage," said Department Pesticide and Fertilizer director Eric Delzer.
Delzer said the Department can also send out its own inspector to look at the damage. And he said no cutoff date was set for the survey.
"We had an application cutoff date of June 30th, so no applications of dicamba could be made after that date," Delzer said. "If everyone followed the restrictions, we anticipate that new complaints should be tapering off by this week."
Minnesota's Agriculture Department is also surveying growers in that state.

Tips for Choosing the Right Pavers
Choosing the right paving material could be the most important decision in enhancing the beauty of your home. Versatility, Eco friendliness, increase in value plus much more are some of the benefits you will be able to enjoy when you choose the right pavers. With that said, the best thing to do is to take your time and compare the options at your disposal before you settle for the ones you think will serve you best. This article is going to give you tips that will help you choose the right pavers for your purpose.
You want to start by researching. Most people take advantage of the internet when looking for pavers for the first time. The internet will never disappoint you if you know what you are looking for. You should therefore take full advantage of it to get the information you need. As you research, you want to check customer reviews so that you get a clear picture of what to expect from different pavers. Doing that will help you know what to expect from different pavers. At the end of the day, you will not want to settle for nothing short of the best.
You also want to consider talking to experienced people about what you are looking for. For instance, there are several paving contractors on the market who could be willing to help you out. You only need to let them know your needs and they will be able to advice you appropriately. By involving reputable landscaping contractors in your search plus other relevant people, you will be on the right track. With that said, you should never underestimate the power of the word of mouth, as it could be the only answer to your prayers.
Climate is the other factor you want to consider. This is because not all pavers are able to withstand harsh weather conditions. Therefore, the last thing you want is to choose them blindly without doing your due diligence. For instance, since brick is porous substance, you do not want to use it in areas that experience rains, wind or heat. On the other hand, if you are living n a moderate climate, brick will never disappoint you. For places with harsh climates, you want to consider going for concrete and stone as they work well in such areas.
You also want to consider your budget. Pavers come in different shapes, designs and sizes. In most cases you will pay according to your needs and wants. You will come across relatively cheap pavers and extremely expensive ones. For those who enjoy buying quality products, you now that you have to pay a price for that. This is because nothing god comes cheaply and you only get what you pay for in the end. Going for cheap options might not be a good idea because you will ends up spending a lot of money in the end. If you want to be on the safe side, you only need to take your time and do through research so that you settle for the best option.

Siemens AG has announced a spin-off of its energy division, which will be combined with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE).
Siemens Gas and Power (GP) – comprising the company's oil and gas, conventional power generation, power transmission, and related services businesses – will be given complete independence and entrepreneurial freedom through a carve-out and a subsequent public listing (i.e., spin-off). In its most recent earnings report, Siemens noted a "moderate decline" in revenue for its GP business.
Siemens plans to contribute its majority stake in SGRE – currently 59% – to GP. Plans call for the stock exchange listing to take place by September 2020.
Siemens will also give up its majority stake in GP. However, it will remain a strong anchor shareholder in the new company, with a stake that is to be initially somewhat less than 50% and, for the foreseeable future, above the level of a blocking minority holding.
SA decision regarding the spin-off and subsequent public listing will be made at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting, probably in June 2020. Siemens will then de-consolidate both the new GP and SGRE.
"This move will create a powerful pure play in the energy and electricity sector with a unique, integrated set-up – an enterprise that encompasses the entire scope of the energy market like no other company," states Joe Kaeser, president and CEO of Siemens AG.
"Combining our portfolio for conventional power generation with power supply from renewable energies will enable us to fully meet customer demand," he continues. "It will also allow us to provide an optimized and, when necessary, combined range of offerings from a single source."
The company expects the new GP business to have over 80,000 employees.
Klaus Patzak, currently managing partner of the Siemens portfolio companies, has been appointed chief financial officer (CFO) of the new GP business. He will report directly to the business' CEO, Lisa Davis. Via a functional reporting line, he will also report to Siemens' CFO, Ralf P. Thomas.
Patzak returned to Siemens in April this year. He was most recently CFO of Bilfinger SE and previously CFO of Osram Licht AG. For several years, Patzak served, among other things, as head of accounting, reporting and controlling at Siemens AG.
Michael Becker will continue in his current role within the GP business with responsibility for the finance operational activities of the GP operating company.
"Being independent will enable us to more effectively leverage our position of strength to further support our customers in rapidly changing energy markets," says Davis. "Global electrification continues to be vital to economic and environmental progress around the world, and as the only company with a leading portfolio along the entire energy value chain – in both conventional and renewable energy – we are uniquely able to help both public- and private-sector customers benefit from these developments. We'll now have more freedom and agility to be able to concentrate fully on the highly specific and quickly changing requirements of our markets and customers. In addition, we'll be able to more directly control our costs and ensure that our stakeholders benefit directly from every euro we spend."

In terms of Czech reaction Radio Prague spoke with Czech Prime Minister
Jiri Paroubek: the Czech delegation in Brussels has been pushing for an
agreement and the prime minister has said difficulties were hardly
unexpected in such important talks.
"I'll say it with an example from history: [even] the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, after 1870, had budget talks every 10 years and it was always a 'crisis'. It's a normal thing: when we talk about the budget it's not easy."
Meanwhile, there are indications that the proposed EU constitution - put on something of a hold on Thursday - would not be approved by the majority of Czechs if a referendum were held in the Czech Republic today. That news comes according to a poll freshly released by the STEM agency suggesting that on 42 percent of voters would decide in favour, while 58 percent would decide against. According to pollsters the number of those in favour has dropped following "No" votes in France and the Netherlands cast the future of the treaty in doubt. Previously, around 60 percent of Czechs supported the treaty.
Czech striker Milan Baros has decided to stay on at his club FC Liverpool, fresh champions of this year's Champions League. French club Lyon had offered 15 million euros for the player, who was the most successful forward at Euro 2004. But, the player's agent said Baros preferred stay on in the English league. Baros is not expected to have it easy: last season his relationship with Spanish head coach Rafael Benitez was strained, and the coach has already indicated a preference for two strikers up front, most likely Morientes and Cisse.
Leaders in negotiations at the European Union summit in Brussels have remained deadlocked at talks over the EU's long-term budget. At stake is the union's budget framework for the years 2007 - 2013. Outstanding issues that have come to the forefront include the future of the United Kingdom's budget rebate measured against farm subsidies. Diplomats have been saying that the prospect of a deal looks uncertain. Leaders have yet to decide whether it is worth continuing talks on Friday; some - like Sweden's prime minister - have recommended it would be better if a final decision on the budget were put off until 2006.
The Czech Foreign Minister Cyril Svoboda, also in Brussels, has also
reacted, saying that a failure to reach a deal on Friday could have a
negative impact on new EU member states.
"If there is no deal today it could be difficult for the new member states. But, still, I believe that we are 'sitting at the same table'. I believe we have to reach a consensus on the financial proposal. And, if the proposal is against the new member states, then well we will say 'No'."
The foreign minister said that the Visegrad countries, of which the Czech Republic is a part, were more or less sticking together on a number of issues:
"There are some slight, differences, definitely: from the macro-economic point of view agriculture is currently not as important, but politically yes, politically definitely. Generally speaking we stick together."
Czech property owners have filed more than 1,500 complaints with the
European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg over regulated rent in the
Czech Republic. The deputy chairman of the Association for Property
Owners, Milan Krcek, said the full number - 1,607 - was not yet final.
House owners estimate that losses related to regulation are worth 40
billion crowns, the equivalent of 1.6 billion dollars US, since 2002.
House owners say that funds from regulated rent are not sufficient to
cover maintenance costs. They are asking for an immediate rise and
pushing for rent to reflect real-market value by 2010.
Rent-regulation concerns some 750,000 apartments in the Czech Republic, about 20 percent of homes. About 300,000 are privately-owned.
The Czech government has agreed to release an extra 634 million crowns (around 28 million US dollars) out of next year's state budget to help the Justice Ministry cover a wage increase for judges and state attorneys. From the beginning of this year, their salaries have increased by 18 percent with their average monthly wage at 50,400 crowns (around 2,200 US dollars) for judges and 45,400 crowns (around 2,000 US dollars) for state attorneys. Some 2,963 judges and 1,113 state attorneys are paid by the ministry.
Bohumil Kulinsky, the director of the prestigious Bambini di Praga girls choir, accused of sexually abusing underage girls is to stay in police custody for at least another three months. According to the State Attorney handling his case, Mr Kulinsky cannot be released as the chances that he would try and influence witnesses are high. The prestigious Bambini di Praga girls choir, made up of girls aged 12 to 19, performs nationally and internationally with leading Czech and foreign orchestras. Since Mr Kulinsky's arrest last year in November, over one hundred former choir members have come forward with accusations of sexual abuse.
Telefonica's acquisition of the majority stake in the Czech Republic's biggest fixed line operator, Cesky Telecom, is final. The Spanish telecommunications company won the privatisation tender with the highest bid - 82.6 billion crowns (a little over 3.5 billion US dollars). On Wednesday, it paid the National Property Fund a remaining 90 percent of the purchase price and is now the owner of the state's 51.1 percent stake in Cesky Telecom, which also owns the country's leading mobile operator Eurotel.
The Senate has approved a law allowing the issuing of more than 72 billion crowns, (the equivalent of over 3 billion U.S. dollars), in bonds to help cover this year's state budget deficit. Bonds are likely to be issued on both domestic and foreign markets, while the remainder of the deficit, some 11 billion crowns, is to be covered by long-term loans from the European Investment Bank. The law has yet to be signed by the president to come into effect.

I introduced you to The Book Robin Hoods last month, and since then, I've sent out over a dozen review copies of What We Need to Survive to interested bloggers. Some contacted me, some I asked! (Note to self: get back to that. Writer, promote thyself! I could be sending out more books…)
I'm excited to say that my first BRH review is in!
Wow, just wow! So when I stumbled across this book it sounded very intriguing and I have to say I wasn't disappointed by its content. What I probably liked the most was that the characters are in the focus. Sure, as a reader I want to know why the world is in its current state and there are still some unanswered questions left of which I hope will be answered in the sequels. Yet I loved to see how the characters, especially Paul and Nina, grow, mature and deal with this inconvenient and scary situation. How they build relationships and friendships even though the next day might be their last one. You never know as everything is uncertain and blurry. This book jumbles with the importance of values and materialism. What DO you need to survive after the epidemic plague wipes out 95% of the American population? What is important, what loses value? I loved how this story really got me thinking about such questions however, I was glad to return to our own rather safe and not plague polluted world. After all, we don't know what the future holds and imagining such a world as in "What We Need To Survive" is scary, thought-provoking yet somehow important and essential in my opinion. I can definitely recommend this wonderful story with a very satisfying ending at least I thought so. Personally, I cannot wait to dive into the sequel "What We Need To Decide"!
Since they were so excited, and willing to keep reviewing, I sent What We Need to Decide along as well–I need reviews for books two and three even more than book one, but since you have to read them in order…
[I don't regret writing a series romance at all, but it does make it more difficult to market the later books. Definitely considering a looser structure and/or stand-alones in the future.]
So, writer friends, this is a great resource. Getting book reviews without paying an arm and a leg can be tough, and here we have a growing community of passionate readers who are excited about supporting independent authors. We need to be utilizing it!
If you haven't checked it out, go and become a member, apply to have your profile added. Or just research the reviewers on offer and contact them directly about your work! Everyone I've corresponded with has been lovely, so there's really no risk, even if they turn you down.

Thursday's hearing for Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh proved to be quite alarming for Americans as the "unethical sham" of a process was exposed by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. Graham unloaded on the Senate Judiciary Committee after becoming increasingly angry by the way they treated Kavanaugh as well as the way they handed the decades-old sexual assault allegations against him.
Senator Graham stated that the process was an "unethical sham." He condemned Senate Democrats for not bringing the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh to light when they first found out about them.
"What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open, and hope you win in 2020," Graham stated to the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He continued, "You've said that. Not me. You've got nothing to apologize for. When you see Sotomayor and Kagan, tell them that Lindsey said 'hello' because I voted for them. I would never do to them what you've done to this guy."
He angrily went on, "This is the most unethical sham since I've been in politics."
"Boy, you all want power God, I hope you never get it. I hope the American people can see through this sham — that you knew about it and you held it. You had no intention of protecting Dr. Ford. None. She's as much of a victim as you are," the Senator pushed.
Senator Graham finished up his rant by putting to bed the Democratic narrative that Kavanaugh compared to "Bill Cosby in high school." He then stated that Kavanaugh had his vote to confirm him into the Supreme Court secured.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders gave praise to Senator Graham. She stated that he "has more decency and courage than every Democrat member of the committee combined. God bless him."
Things aren't looking very good for Senate Democrats now that they have been exposed for their dirty delay tactics. They should be ashamed of themselves for automatically assuming Kavanaugh to be guilty. What ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" I guess that doesn't apply if you're a Conservative.
Take a look at Graham's comments:

"Any soldier who goes into battle against the Taliban in pink boxers and flip-flops has a special kind of courage … I can only wonder about the impact on the Taliban. Just imagine seeing that: a guy in pink boxers and flip-flops has you in his cross-hairs. What an incredible innovation in psychological warfare."
–Defense Secretary Gates
Touted at the time as the iconic photo of the Afghan war, this picture from early May now stands as a classic example of denial and misdirection. While the media and the Pentagon made light of Spc. Zachary Boyd fighting the Taliban in his pink "I love NY" boxer shorts, the total overhaul of U.S. strategy six months down the road acknowledged we actually were waging a war with out pants down.

15 Second Pitch
If you have been a consistent reader of blog or Wednesday Wisdom enewsletters, you know I have a tendency to be wordy in my writing. If you've met me in person you know my writing style is similar to my talkative Italian personality. I always want to make sure someone reading or listening to me understands my point.
So when you ask me to explain in a few words about my two businesses, there is no quick and easy explanation. You'll get an excited and enthusiastic response to how my businesses help others. I don't have a short and sweet way to efficiently explain both companies benefits because my personality doesn't allow it. I simply love what I do too much to cut to the chase.
With personal attention spans getting shorter due to fast paced technology like instant messages and texting, an entrepreneur's opportunity to explain what they do and what they offer has to be short and sweet. Sometimes it's hard to roll fifteen years experience, a changing product line, and new business innovations into a succinct explanation.
Like other aspects of our professional and corporate development, we need to continually improve our marketing message and sales pitch to capture clients. Creating meaningful, impactful, sales pitches is one way to improve corporate opportunities.
If it's been awhile since you updated your sales pitch, improved your marketing message, or stopped talking long enough to realize you need to be briefer, than maybe it's time to do something about it! Visit one our member's businesses 15 Second Pitch.com (http://www.15secondpitch.com) to learn how you can create a stunning and effective 15 second pitch for your business today. Just remember it's okay to have lengthy conversations with your closest friends and family members but short and sweet sales pitches can be really effective for your business.

Attitudes Towards Women
The 'Tale of Filippa' illustrates new attitudes towards women in Italian society. For example, women became more empowered than before. They are the center of attraction, with calls from all sections of society to promote gender equality. Women now have control of situations in their life, and they make independent sexual choices.
Evolution Of Attitudes Towards Women in Italy
Women are seen as unpredictable in modern society. They may be interested or not interested in something. They may love in order to take, or love in order to give. They can be self-centered as well as generous. They do not have a perfected way of thinking or behaving. Women can be a source of suffering or happiness. They can easily accept situations, like Monna Giovanna and Filippa did. However, it may sometimes be difficult to accept reality. A woman may behave differently in the same circumstances. She can also behave the same in different circumstances. Men, therefore, have to use their natural instincts to understand them. They have to accept women for what they are.
In Italian society, women are seen to be influenced by their own choices. They have changed from being influenced by male dominance. This was the tradition many years ago, as evident from the 'Tale of Filippa'. They take love as a playful experience, trying to get the best from their relationship. Boccaccio illustrates that love either ends with a permanent tie called marriage or with tragedy. This may not necessarily be true. However, since women can easily become interested or uninterested in their love affairs, such relationships may have or lack direction. Women are viewed as taking everything as either a delightful or serious experience. Therefore, they may just pursue happiness and enjoyment, or they may look for a focused relationship. However, women can pursue both and will sometimes give mixed reactions on what they want (Heffernan).
Boccaccio's illustration of women's tendency to love many men reflects a certain type of attitude towards women in Italian society. Their characteristic of being rather changeable affirms this assumption. They tend to be adventurous. Boccaccio's illustration of immorality as being a consequence of freedom of choice can be related to such assumptions even today. In Italian society, women do not betray their husbands because there is a change of heart and mind. Rather, they reject a conventional bond that is not meaningful to them. This meaning is related to matters of the heart and, thereby, of their senses. Marriage is also born out of free choice, and it is the logical crowning of love. However, it could lead to disaster if it imposed upon individuals. Marriage could be ended if there is no reciprocity in it. Women are generally accepted to return favors. They are also expected to grant favors. They can adjust quickly. For example, the way Emilia casually settled for a festive wedding with Palemon reveals an overcapacity in adjustment circumstances. This is as opposed to what it was compared to in earlier thinking: chronic and criminal immorality.
In Italian society, women are believed to indulge in bold adventures so that they can be happy. They, therefore, risk much and get much in return. For those who are nervous, love is not their business. They usually have absolute ideals for institutions such as marriage. Women are not treated as hypocritical in Italian society. For example, in the 'Tale of Filippa', Madonna Filipa knows what she wants and she always tries to achieve her set goal (Franco).
Boccaccio's Decameron illustrates attitudes towards women in Italian society. Women have been empowered, and they make independent choices. They are no longer influenced by male dominance. They are unpredictable and may sometimes have problems facing reality. They pursue enjoyment and happiness in everything they do. In addition, women are viewed as adventurous and not hypocritical. They know what they want and they take pains to achieve it.

What to know about electric vehicles With transportation companies such as Tesla, General Motors, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover and the Volkswagen Group joining the electric vehicle club, gas-powered cars could one day become a thing of the past.
If you're still not entirely sure what that means, here are the basics of electric cars.
Not that different
Electric vehicles (EVs) work similarly to those powered by petrol or diesel. As Tech Radar explains, there is a fuel source, a drive unit and a gearbox to provide motion forwards and backwards. As a result of the mechanics, there is no engine noise and EVs can be some of the fastest-accelerating cars in the market.
Quite heavy
EVs are typically quite heavy, due to the battery they use, but it does not make too much of a difference when it comes to driving. Most believe that the biggest thing to be aware of is regenerative braking, which captures kinetic energy and feeds it into the battery whenever you lift off the accelerator.
Not entirely green, yet
Of course, driving an electric vehicle reduces one's localized emissions, as the car does not have an exhaust. But pollution still occurs during the construction of the car, while charging it consumes energy, so it's not an entirely green process yet.
Charge it for power
In order to power an electric vehicle, you must charge it first. Most EV owners install a charger in their home, but when drivers are out and about and need a recharge, they must turn to public chargers – they are typically owned by different companies, so to use their services, you must be a member.
To charge at home, you need an off-street parking space and a place to plug in your charger, so those who live in apartments or don't have personal garages might want to hold out on buying an EV for now, or at least until public chargers become more widespread.
While they can be pricey now, EVs are growing in popularity and could one day take over the roads, marking an end to the era of gas-powered vehicles. What to know about electric vehicles (sul/kes, The Jakarta Post)

Saint Paul, MN (February 5, 2014) – Economists anticipate that within six years there will be 1.4 million job openings for computer specialists. A potential source for these jobs are graduates of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs at American colleges and universities. Yet these schools graduate only about 400,000 STEM majors per year. One possibility for helping to greatly increase the number of grads is to increase the number of people entering the programs. There are a number of possible ways to accomplish that goal, but one of the most appealing is to encourage young women to enter the traditionally male dominated STEM fields.
Despite holding six in 10 American jobs, women held just 26 percent of computing occupations in 2012. Advance IT Minnesota launched the Minnesota Aspirations for Women in Computing awards program to help bridge this gender and talent gap, and support, recognize and encourage young women in high school interested in computing and technology. To offer the award, Advance IT Minnesota partnered with College Recruiter along with a number of other Minnesota organizations including Cargill, ESP-IT, General Mills, Marco, Maverick Software Consulting, Microsoft, The Nerdery, Pearson, PeopleNet, Securian, Sport Ngin, Symantec, TC Chapter of the Association of Women in Computing, Thomson Reuters, Unisys, Upper Midwest Security Alliance (UMSA) and ViaWest.

Steve Horn | November 3, 2016
By Steve Horn • Thursday, November 3, 2016 - 03:58
Robert Crear, one of the lobbyists working for Dakota Access pipeline co-owners Energy Transfer Partners and Sunoco Logistics, formerly served as a chief of staff and commanding general for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The Army Corps and other federal agencies are currently reviewing the permit granted for the controversial pipeline's construction near the Missouri River and Lake Oahe in North Dakota, and the Army Corps has reserved final authorization to complete construction on Corps land until after formal government-to-government consultations with the tribes are completed later this month.
Before he became a lobbyist, Crear headed up the Army Corps project, "Task Force: Restore Iraqi Oil" during the early years of the U.S. occupation of Iraq under the George W. Bush administration. This finding by DeSmog comes as the law enforcement presence has become increasingly militarized and additional forces pour into North Dakota from states nationwide under the auspices of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).
Thousands of people, including a number of Native American tribes, are protesting this pipeline at the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's encampments in North Dakota.
This week, President Barack Obama stated that his administration is considering rerouting the current Dakota Access pipeline path permitted by the Army Corps.
Greenpeace USA, though, has called for Obama to revoke the Army Corps permit granted for the pipeline in July.
"The administration seems to be buying time to maintain the status quo and profits for fossil fuel investors," Greenpeace USA spokeswoman Lilian Molina said in a statement. "There is only one option that is truly attentive to the Native lives and lands at stake: respect the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous communities by revoking the permits immediately."
According to 2016 third quarter lobbying disclosure forms, Crear lobbied his former employer — the Army Corps — on behalf of both Energy Transfer Partners and Sunoco on compliance and permitting issues.

Restore Iraqi Oil Program
The Army Corps' Restore Iraqi Oil (RIO) program, spearheaded under Crear's leadership, got off the ground shortly after the initial "Shock and Awe" bombardment of Iraq by the U.S. military and was a key part of what military planners called the reconstruction phase of the U.S. occupation of the country. As its namesake implies, RIO existed to help reinvigorate Iraq's oil market and boost production.
In the book Hard Lessons: The Iraq Reconstruction Experience, then-Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowen wrote about what became known as RIO.
"Avoiding the perception that the U.S. would annex Iraq's oil wealth for its own purposes was a crucial goal," Bowen wrote of RIO. "Decisions about Iraq's oil wealth were not to be seen as made by the U.S. alone."
Perception was one thing; reality, another.
Then-Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR) ended up as a major beneficiary of RIO, landing a lucrative contract worth $2.5 billion to rebuild Iraq's oil infrastructure from the Army Corps on March 8, 2003, 12 days before the official invasion of Iraq by the U.S. military. Just a few years prior, then-Vice President Dick Cheney had left his perch as CEO of Halliburton to work in the executive branch, which critics noticed and called out with fury.
"[T]he no-bid nature of the contract became such a contentious issue with Congress that it catapulted KBR into the critical limelight and began the process of exposing the company's rampant fraud, abuse and corruption," wrote the watchdog website Halliburton Watch. "Congress asserted the RIO contract was awarded without competition because Dick Cheney is the former CEO of KBR's parent, Halliburton."
Time Magazine reported in May 2004 that it had obtained an email from a senior Army Corps official dated March 5, 2003, three days before KBR landed the Army Corps contract, which stated that "'action' on the [KBR] contract was 'coordinated' with Cheney's office."
The collusion between KBR, the Army Corps, and the White House for RIO inspired Bunny Greenhouse, then-Chief Procurement Officer for the Army Corps, to become a whistleblower, and she was demoted for doing so. Greenhouse, in stark terms, made known her take on this state of affairs.
"I can unequivocally state that the abuse related to contracts awarded to KBR represents the most blatant and improper contract abuse I have witnessed during the course of my professional career," said Greenhouse as she testified before Congress in 2005.
Uncertain Future
Lydia Lafleur, a business professor at Louisiana State University and the corporate registered agent for AUX Initiatives, did not respond to a request for comment on whether Crear's lobbying of the Army Corps was done specifically on behalf of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Crear also did not respond to a request for comment for this article.
The Dakota Access Pipeline would transport oil obtained via hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") from North Dakota's Bakken Shale basin across the state and through South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois, where it would terminate and connect to another pipeline in Patoka. That pipeline, the Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline, will shuttle oil down to Gulf Coast refineries in Texas and in part to the global export market.
To date, the progressive cell phone company Credo Mobile has gathered over 373,000 signatures for a petition calling on the Obama administration to reject Dakota Access.
CREDO Deputy Political Director Josh Nelson issued a statement this week: "Indigenous water protectors and the First Amendment are under assault in North Dakota – and President Obama needs to intervene now." Nelson continued, "if President Obama wants to uphold his promises to do right by indigenous people and fight climate change, he must summon the political courage to intervene now and stop – not just reroute – the Dakota Access pipeline."

Google has launched Chrome 25 Beta for the desktop version of the browser and has teased several new features that could be a part of the more stable release. The beta version will have the exciting new Web Speech API that will have voice support, a new tab page with a search box and blocking of silent extension installations.
Chrome 25 beta loaded with features
The announcement of this beta comes only days after Google announced that it had merged the development cycles of Android and desktop version of Chrome. It is going to be a little challenging for developers to create web apps that will make optimum use of this new feature because after all, a phone would require voice commands more often than a desktop would.
Google also explained with a demo how the Web Speech API will work. You can check the demo out where you can learn how to dictate emails into Chrome after you have upgraded your browser to Chrome 25.
The other two user-specific features were already spoken about by Google in December. Chrome will now launch a search box in the new tab page and will also keep queries in the omnibox after a search is performed. The default search engine you use in your Chrome will appear as you hit 'New Tab' as Google will not be pushing its own engine in this update.
One of the most important updates the Chrome 25 beta brings along is the disabling of silent extension installation. Google had detailed this move out in a blog post in December and said that it would be retroactively removing all extensions installed using them.
Peter Ludwig, Product Manager, Google, had said that since extensions at times can influence Chrome's functionality and performance, users should be aware of what extensions were added to their browser. According to Ludwig, it had been possible thus far to silently install extensions into Chrome on Windows using the Windows registry mechanism for extension deployment. While the feature had originally been in place to let users add a useful extension to Chrome together with the installation of an application, it was abused by third parties. It has been revealed that third parties silently installed extensions into Chrome without a user's consent.
The HTML5 Rocks Shadow DOM Tutorial
For developers, Google has added Unprefixed support for Content Security Policy to help them reduce the risk of cross-site scripting and other content injection attacks. Developers can now use the unprefixed Content-Security-Policy HTTP header to define a whitelist of trusted content sources.
The Chrome 25 beta can be downloaded from here.

Copyright 2016; Wilmington University. All rights reserved. File phtoo of Braunsberg against Nyack, taken by Frank Stallworth.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - - The Wilmington University volleyball team took the first set of the match on Wednesday night but Chestnut Hill came back to win the final three, taking the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference South Division match, 3-1, inside Sorgenti Arena.
Set scores for the Wildcats were 25-20, 22-25, 16-25, and 28-30.
The Wildcats (9-16, 6-10 CACC) hit a team best .176 in the first set, but finished the match by committing 27 of their 33 errors in the final three sets. The team ended with a .107 attack percentage for the match.
Trailing 14-11 in the first set, the Wildcats used a Chestnut Hill (11-13, 9-6 CACC) service error to spark a 7-0 run and take an 18-14 lead. The run continued and after a combined 12-3 spurt, the Wildcats led 23-17. Allison Briley gave the visitor set point with a kill before a Griffin attack error put the Wildcats in front, 1-0.
A back and forth second set had the Griffins up by as many as 18-14 before the Wildcats scored three straight to get within 18-17. An Eile Harris solo block eventually tied the game at 20-20, but the Griffins scored back-to-back points on a pair of Wildcat errors before scoring two more to take a 24-21 lead. A block error gave the Griffins the set, 25-22.
Trailing 12-8 in the third, the Wildcats take four straight points to tie the game. But the Griffins retaliated with a run of their own, scoring three straight en route to a 5-1 spurt, which continued to a 10-2 run and a 22-14 lead. A Madison McBride kill put the home team in front in the match, 2-1, with a 25-16 set three win.
The Wildcats were once again down early in the fourth set to the Griffins, but used a 10-4 run, including the final four points to take a 19-17 lead. The teams traded points until a Briley kill gave the Wildcats set point, 24-22, and a chance to stay in the match. But the Griffins earned back-to-back kills to tie the game, 24-24. A Rebecca Rawlinson kill gave the Wildcats set point again, but back-to-back errors put the Griffins in front. The teams traded points until 28-28, and the Griffins picked up a block on Briley before an error ended the match, 30-28.
Briley started off slow with only three kills in the first set, but ended with a team high 16 on the night. Jill Braunsberg was a kill away from a triple-double, finishing with nine kills, 22 assists, and 27 digs. Rawlinson also finished with nine kills on the night, adding four block assists and a solo block at the net. Harris chipped in with eight kills while hitting a team best .389. Miranda Shaw dished out 21 assists while Jenna Brown added a match's best 30 digs.
The Wildcats and Griffins were close throughout, with the Wildcats collecting 54 kills to the Griffins 50. Digs were 109-103 in favor of the Wildcats while service aces were 6-5 in favor of the Griffins. Each team collected nine blocks on the night but the one stat that was off were the 33 Wildcat attack errors to the Griffins' 22.
The Wildcats make up their postponed game against Caldwell on Friday night at the WU Athletics Complex. First serve is set for 7:00 p.m.

It doesn't say, of course, that the photo includes all of the farm offices and buildings which are not rented by me. Or that the house is situated in a working woodcutting yard.
I rented this house at Christmas because it was £2000 per year cheaper than the previous house.
I have posted a more realistic photo. Just for good measure I will reiterate that I never chose to buy, always to rent, and therefore I make no profit. There is no 'flipping' or home improvements claimed for. I have never claimed from the famous John Lewis list or claimed for cleaners, gardeners, ducks or anything else.
I believe that IPSA are recommending that in future MPs do just what I have been doing since I was first elected.
I have also posted a picture of a rather snowed-in also newly acquired main home which the Telegraph managed to make look like a tiny pin prick!
The Telegraph also state, 'she has indicated to this paper that her main home was in Lytham St Anne's'. How did I do that exactly? Did I point to a road sign? Play a game of charades with the reporter?
The fact is that the Telegraph knows my elderly mother lives in Lytham St Anne's and they know I visit her from time-to-time, and so they threw that into the mix.
Jon Swaine, the reporter, did not speak to villagers when he trespassed onto my garden and started to take photos through my windows: he was literally chased out of the village by the decorator and a neighbour. In a Cotswold village he stood out like a sore thumb, in the biting wind wearing his city slicker grey overcoat. He was chased down the lane on the three mile walk back to the main road with his leather briefcase between his legs.
The Daily Telegraph really has lost the plot. It wants a scalp and it wants mine. The trouble is, in order to get a scalp, the person wearing it needs to have done something wrong. A point they appear to be missing. As ConservativeHome said yesterday, the moral of the story is, never criticise the Barclay Brothers

Deniz Pehlivan, formerly a risk analyst, quit his job with the idea of running after a dream and, toured 80 countries with his backpack. The traveler, who wrote more than 15 thousand pages about his travels and has more than 250 thousand followers on social media.

ISTANBUL (TR) - Deniz Pehlivan, born and raised in Fethiye, started her journey to 80 countries 10 years ago with her backpack in pursuit of a dream. Thanks to a single intrerrail ticket, Deniz has started to travel to more than 30 countries in Europe. On May 1, he was at the Revolution Square in Cuba, wandering with the Bedouins in Morocco and sleeping in the desert, touring the places where the dead were thrown to the vultures in Iran and swimming with the elephants in Loas. The traveler, who has set his next course without leaving a country, will travel to nine more countries this year, including New Zealand, Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mexico, Cuba, Peru, Nepal and Chile.
He wrote more than 15 thousand articles about his travels
Deniz Pehlivan decided to share her travel suggestions in the cities she visited in the most practical way, since she could not find Turkish resources to examine while traveling and the available resources also included memories rather than guides. The traveler who created more than 15 thousand pages of content at Birhayalinpesinde.com demolished the perception of expensive travel in the minds of people with the economic travel guides he prepared. Traveling by sharing the steps to be taken before traveling, accommodation and eating and drinking suggestions without spending much money, places that can be visited according to the season, with its humble life and endless passion; Instagram (@birhayalinpesinde) 254 thousand and YouTube channel (Birhayalinpesinde) is followed by 83 thousand people. Instagram account of the instant sharing of the sea, YouTube channel in a humorous language reflects the impression of countries.
The most interesting experience is the cremation ceremony in India
Among the countries he has traveled to this time, Deniz said that he had the most interesting experience in India by participating in the cremation ceremonies and said: görmek Seeing different religions and cultures has different effects on people. You either fall in love with India or you hate it. There is no break. If you open your heart, there's always beauty to offer you. Therefore, it is the most memorable country of my life. The culture fascinates people rather than the sights. According to Hinduism belief, it is necessary to burn the dead to release the soul. I watched these ceremonies live in Varanisi. I still have that chaos, mayhem and lamentation in my mind. After watching the cremation ceremonies, he sits on the banks of the Ganges river and dives into the thoughts that question his human life. I had the opportunity to travel around the world's fastest trains in Japan and taste the world's most expensive meat Kobe steak. "
The question I get the most is: "Is your father rich, how can you walk around? "
Deniz Pehlivan stated that her articles on Birhayalinpesinde.com were prepared with care to make it possible for the travelers to take a route and to travel easily and cheaply. The most frequently asked questions are: "Is your father too rich? Do you have a job where you make a lot of money?" However, passion for travel is important. This is a love. For me, it all started with the love of a backpack. I spent less than $ 50 a day in countries like Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, France and Germany. For this reason, I am writing thousands of articles for my blog to explain that it is possible to travel cheaply through economic means. "

When Davionna Holmes entered last Sunday�s game, Missouri point guard Lindsey Cunningham heard some confusion from Mississippi�s squad.
�They�re like, �Wait, she�s not on the scouting report,� � Cunningham said. �It was kind of fun.�
Missouri Coach Robin Pingeton originally had hoped Holmes, a transfer from Louisville, would be a prominent figure on scouting reports.
However, Holmes twice was delayed in suiting up for MU. She finally made her debut Feb. 5 against Texas A&M after her reinstatement to the program. Holmes appeared in two of the three games since then.
�I just want to be able to produce when needed,� Holmes said Tuesday during her first interview since her reinstatement.
Holmes, 6-foot-3 redshirt sophomore forward, offers a post presence off the bench. Because of two inactive stints, Holmes doesn�t have the timing, conditioning or knowledge of the playbook necessary to play for long periods, Pingeton said. She plans to continue using Holmes in short bursts to give starting forwards Michelle Hudyn and Jordan Frericks a rest.
�She�s strong, she�s powerful, she�s explosive, but she�s awfully raw,� Pingeton said. � �I don�t see her playing extended minutes this year, but I think if we can get a couple possessions here or there, she can definitely help us, and I think that will help her moving forward.�
Holmes participated in MU�s summer workouts but did not practice in October. The team announced on Oct. 13 she was no longer with the program and that she was �attending to personal matters.�
Pingeton didn�t get into the specifics of that situation but discussed her expectations for her players.
�The standards that we have are extremely high,� Pingeton said Tuesday. �I challenge our players all the time. They�ve got to dot their i�s. They�ve got to cross their t�s. On time is late. There�s just a certain way that we go about running our program, and it�s hard. It�s a tough adjustment, depending upon your background and where you come from.
�And so that first go-around, it was more about attention to detail and just following the standards and expectations of our program than anything. But we will not compromise and waver on who we are as a program.�
Holmes was on Missouri�s bench in street clothes for its Dec. 14 game against Northern Illinois. After that game, Pingeton said Holmes had been reinstated and that she�d soon be in uniform. However, less than a week later, Pingeton said Holmes was again taking time away from the program to attend to personal matters.
Holmes had some off-the-court issues prior to that December reinstatement. Grindstone Student Housing sued Holmes in October for back rent, seeking $671.50, along with possession of the premises, lawyer fees and court costs, according to a court document. Steve Scott, the lawyer who represented Grindstone Student Housing, dismissed the case Nov. 17 on behalf of the plaintiff.
On Oct. 28, Holmes was arrested on suspicion of stealing grocery items, a Class A misdemeanor, from the Walmart Supercenter located at 1201 Grindstone Parkway, said Latisha Stroer, public information officer for the Columbia Police Department. Holmes was issued a summons and released. There are no online court records pertaining to that arrest.
Holmes said she had a �huge growth change� prior to her reinstatement this month.
�I think I�ve made strides, not only in school but in my personal life,� she said. �My perspective, my faith, has grown.�
Holmes said Pingeton�s decision to twice reinstate her shows �she truly cares, and she truly does love her players and that she obviously sees some sort of potential in me to be a good person or a great player.�
Pingeton considers this �a new opportunity� for Holmes.
�I think she understands what our expectations are and what she needs to get done,� Pingeton said. �Is it� a �shorter� leash? �Maybe a little bit, but at the same time, we don�t expect Davionna, as well as any of our players, to live a perfect life. � But I think there�s got to be a sense of urgency to what we�re doing and how we�re doing things.�
Holmes went to Louisville on a volleyball scholarship, appearing in eight matches in 2012 as a middle blocker. She joined Louisville�s basketball team midseason.
�Volleyball was a choice I made for my mom,� Holmes said. �Basketball was a choice I made for myself.�
Holmes, who averaged 14.4 points and 4.4 rebounds as a senior at East St. Louis High School in Illinois, said she made Louisville�s hoops team after a two-week tryout. About two weeks after that, Holmes said, she tore the patellar tendon in her right knee, requiring surgery. She never played a game for Louisville and transferred during the offseason to Missouri. NCAA transfer rules required that Holmes sit out last season, and she spent time on MU�s scout team.
Holmes has shown flashes of her athleticism in the nine minutes she has played this month. She scored the first basket of her career less than a minute after checking in against A&M. She also scored the next game against Auburn. She has grabbed a rebound, blocked a shot and collected two steals.
�She doesn�t need to do anything crazy,� Cunningham said, �but if she can give us rebounds here and there and maybe a couple finished buckets around the rim, we�ll take it.�

Vying for WNIT bid: Missouri has three regular-season games remaining. By winning at least one, it would become eligible for an at-large selection to the Women�s National Invitation Tournament. MU made the WNIT in each of the last two seasons. To be eligible for an at-large bid, teams must finish at least .500. Missouri Coach Robin Pingeton said Tuesday she believes the Tigers would be in the WNIT if it started that day. �I would like to think that when you�re in the SEC or one of the power five conferences and you end the season with a winning record, your chances of getting in are very good,� Pingeton said.
Struggles away from home: Missouri is 3-8 in games not played at Mizzou Arena this season. That includes a 2-6 mark in true road games and a 1-2 record in neutral-court games.
Streak in jeopardy: Vanderbilt has made the NCAA Tournament in 15 straight seasons, but that streak is in jeopardy. Charlie Creme, espnW.com�s bracket expert, didn�t include the Commodores in his NCAA Tournament projection released Monday, and they also weren�t listed among his eight bubble teams just outside the field.
Deceiving record: The Commodores� strength of schedule is listed as the second toughest in the country by basketball website WarrenNolan.com. Vandy has wins over Green Bay, Minnesota, James Madison, Mississippi State and Arkansas, teams that Creme has in his projected NCAA Tournament field. Among Vandy�s losses are defeats to Connecticut, Arizona State, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Kentucky and South Carolina, all of which are ranked in the Top 25.

Jachai Polite became the only 2019 third-round pick to be booted from a roster after cutdown weekend, but the Jets Day 2 selection found his way to the Seahawks' practice squad. Pete Carroll said the Seahawks placed a late-first- or early-second-round grade on the Florida product, per ESPN.com's Brady Henderson. Polite will have a chance to develop in Seattle, doing so behind Jadeveon Clowney, Ziggy Ansah and first-round pick L.J. Collier — none of whom were part of the 2018 Seahawks.
Here is the latest from the NFC West:
- While some of the 49ers' injury troubles are here to stay, with Jerick McKinnon on season-ending IR again, the team received good news on other key cogs. Nick Bosa returned to practice this week and is improving daily, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic (subscription required). Jason Verrett joined Bosa in going through a limited Wednesday practice. Dee Ford was not listed as limited. Despite John Lynch at one point being 50-50 on Bosa's Week 1 availability, it appears much of the concern around these San Francisco's newcomers was overblown. Though, Bosa's spate of setbacks over the past year have, fairly or unfairly, attached an "injury prone" label to the Ohio State product for the time being.
- The Cardinals were the only team to submit a waiver claim for offensive lineman Brett Toth, Barrows adds. The U.S. Army cleared Toth on Wednesday morning to pursue a career with the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets. Prior to signing with the Eagles midway through last month, Toth had not participated in a practice in 18 months. Under the previous guidelines, Toth would have been locked into his service requirement. However, he'll be able to put all of that on hold as he pursues his NFL dream.
- With the Cardinals cutting 2017 fifth-rounder T.J. Logan and former Rams All-Pro returner Pharoh Cooper, Christian Kirk expects to reprise his role as the Cardinals' punt returner, Katherine Fitzgerald of the Arizona Republic notes. Kliff Kingsbury did not confirm as much, but Kirk returned 21 punts as a rookie. While at Texas A&M, Arizona's current WR2 notched six punt-return TDs in three seasons.
- Arrested on suspicion of DUI last month, Cardinals COO Ron Minegar will be suspended six weeks and fined $200K, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. Steve Keim was suspended five weeks and also fined $200K last year for his "extreme" DUI. Minegar serves more as a business-side Cards exec.
- Free agent tackle Marshall Newhouse visited the 49ers this week, Adam Caplan of Sirius XM Radio notes (on Twitter). The Saints released the 30-year-old edge blocker from IR via injury settlement last weekend. Newhouse played 14 games with the Bills and Panthers last season.

Lincolnton man charged with 2nd degree kidnapping
Pictured above: William Vanzile – Picture courtesy of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office
Lincolnton, NC – Lincoln County Sheriff's deputies' investigation into a domestic dispute has led to charges against a Lincoln County man.
On June 29, 2018 around 11:30 p.m. officers were dispatched to Car Farm Road, Lincolnton, NC after a woman told a friend to call the Communications Center if she wasn't back from picking up her belongings at a residence on Sherrill Farm Road.
The caller attempted to follow a car driven by Coral Smalt and passenger, William James Vanzile, 34, of Sherrill Farm Road, Lincolnton, NC after Ms. Smalt went to residence to pick up the belongings. Mr. Vanzile convinced the woman to take him to a nearby convenience store before he left. The pair got into an argument at the store and left the scene. A short distance away the woman was forced to stop and the male passenger got into the driver's seat. After driving through several neighborhoods the female said she wanted to drive and Vanzile allowed her to do so. The woman told officers that she feared for her life and wanted to get out of the car but Vanzile would not let her.
The man following the two people lost sight of the car on Shuford Road, Lincolnton, NC. The car was spotted later on Car Farm Road and stopped by deputies. During the investigation deputies learned that Vanzile had drugs on his person but told officers he disposed of the drugs by throwing them out of the window.
Vanzile was transported to the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office where he was interviewed about what happened. Following the interview deputies were escorting Vanzile back to the patrol car when they observed a clear plastic bag drop from his shorts. He confirmed the drugs in the bag was methamphetamine.
Vanzile was charged with one felony count each of 2nd degree kidnapping and possession of methamphetamine and one misdemeanor count each of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was placed in the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center under a $26,500 secured bond.
Investigating officers were Deputies K. Cornett and J. Allen.
