Frank Cifaldi, Gamasutra
Game developers the world over have been curious about the inner-workings of Steam and Half-Life maker Valve, particularly following the public availability of a company handbook revealed that Valve has no managers.
Valve's economist-in-residence Yanis Varoufakis recently spoke on the EconTalk Podcast about the specifics of this unique structure, how Valve hires (and fires) and, interestingly, how much it pays its team.

“. . . if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled . . .”
For long years, there was no way in
to that four-chambered house
through which, we are told
(but don’t know) all emotions go.
It took something more than looks–
your wit, or carriage, or the things
you held to be true
for me to open up to you,
as you did for me,
as you never had before.
Maybe the time was right, I don’t know.
I do know this; we pierced each other
without wounding, and common tides
between two seas now flow.
The swimming’s no good when the tide is low;
let us take our chance at the flood,
and when we are done, your head will
rest against my chest, a mound of flesh
through which blood flows, through which
you shall hear, against your ear,
the beating of a circumcised heart.

Replicating NSA's gadgets using open source
Jun 09, 2014, 14:00 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Anonymous)
Wireless security researcher Michael Ossmann asked himself: "Could I make the gadgets that the agency uses to monitor and locate mobile phones, tap USB and Ethernet connections, maintain persistent malware on PCs, communicate with malware across air gaps, and more, by just using open source software and hardware?" In this podcast he shares his insights on what to use - and how - to duplicate hardware devices found in the ANT catalog.

Only a rout will do for Tiger Woods
SAN DIEGO -- Over his 18-year career, Tiger Woods has won by 8 shots or more 14 times. To watch him distance himself from a field with a flurry of birdies was like witnessing a first-round knockout punch in a boxing match.
But the sting usually lingered over four days and 72 holes.
With a commanding 6-shot lead with 11 holes left to finish his final round Monday at the Farmers Insurance Open, Tiger is headed toward another double-digit winning margin, his 75th PGA ...

The centre of Berlin, Mitte is most famous for sights like the Brandenburg Gate, Alexanderplatz, and Museum Island. The central location makes this one of the city's most expensive places to live. It is here the oldest traces of the city can be found, and evidence of some significant transformations, as well. The gangsters that once ruled the impoverished streets between Alexanderplatz and Hackescher Markt have given
way to an international crowd pursuing fashionable designer clothes, the newest food trends and frequenting the many craft shops. Graphic designers have taken up residence in what used to be backyard barns and stables. There are still vestiges of the old days, however. The occasional housing complex is a reminder of the neighbourhood’s past. And if you look carefully, an old 1920s ball house nestled amongst the art galleries and exhibitions of Auguststrasse can still teach you how to dance the old fashioned way.

When you pass through customs with your luggage, in the main hall to the right is an information desk for transportation. You can buy a 1/3/5/ day transportation pass which can be used on all buses and trains, including the train from the airport to the center of town. It is easily found, with signs etc. Just ask the person from whom you bought the ticket what stop you get off. You need to change the train once, price included) and on that station there are elevators. The train stop at the hotel is only 100m from the entrance, easy walking distance.
Are you sure you want to delete this answer?

May 29, 2010
GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Michigan State track & field team concluded action at the NCAA East Regional hosted by North Carolina A&T in Greensboro, N.C., on Saturday, May 29. In the third and final day of action, the Spartans advanced four student-athletes in four events to the NCAA Track & Field Championships, bringing the total number to six individuals in seven events MSU will participate in. This marks the second-consecutive year the Spartans have qualified six individuals for the NCAA Championships.
"We had a good last day of competition today," said director of track & field and cross country Walt Drenth. "In almost every instance we exceeded our seeding. But, overall I thought we competed well all weekend. It's hard to go this many days in a row dealing with the heat. To have five championship qualifiers return from this group advancing to nationals next year is really going to be a good foundation. This weekend's performance bodes well for what we trying to establish. One of the most pleasing things about this weekend is that we are going to have someone from every event group competing at nationals. The weekend reflects what we are going for, having people advance in every event group. This is showing how much more well rounded this team is becoming."
Junior Emily MacLeod became the sixth individual to qualify for the NCAA Championships when she closed out action for the Green and White in the 5,000m run when she won the event with time of 16:14.52. MacLeod finished atop the standings of heat one over the next closest runner by 1.54, automatically advancing to the NCAA Championships in the event.
"Emily competed well tonight. We really thought she would to be able to win and it was one of her goals coming in to the weekend. She might have pushed the race a little bit, but she really ran away from the group at the end of the race. For her to come out at the end of the meet and do well was just a sign of toughness. That is what we are trying to instill in our group student-athletes," Drenth said.
A day after advancing to the NCAA Championships in the hammer throw, freshman Beth Rohl placed fourth in the discus throw with a school record and personal-best toss of 54.48m to advance in the event. Rohl entered the weekend ranked 27th in the region and finished the event as the top freshman in the East.
"Beth really did a fantastic job all weekend long in both of her events. She really bounced back this weekend after the conference meet two weeks ago," said Drenth.
Senior Kyron Foster was the first Spartan to advance today to the NCAA Nationals when he placed sixth in the triple jump with a season-best leap of 15.79m. Foster will look to repeat as an All-American in the event after becoming the first triple jumper in school history to be named an All-American during the indoor season. The Spartan senior entered the weekend ranked 10th in the region in the event.
"Kyron has really had to take care of himself dealing with his injury all season long. He is such a competitor and has really shown what one can do under duress. To me, that is as great of a contribution as one can give to a team," Drenth said.
Freshman Josh McAlary placed fifth in the 1,500m run with a personal-best time of 3:43.87. McAlary was the top freshman finisher and entered the regional ranked 44th in the region. McAlary advances to the NCAA Championships with his top-12 finish.
"Josh ran a substantial personal best today, but more importantly was the way he ran the race. He got tripped up with about 60-meters to go, or he may have had a chance to win it," noted Drenth.
Freshman Isaiah VanDoorne narrowly missed advancing in the 5,000m run when he turned in a 16th-place time of 14:16.57. VanDoorne entered the weekend ranked 28th in the region. VanDoorne was the second-fastest freshman in the event today.
"For Isaiah to take the lead with 1,000-meters to go really is a tough thing for a freshman to do. I thought he really owned the run and broke the field up," said Drenth.
After a weekend off, the Spartans will travel to Eugene, Ore., for the NCAA Track & Field Championships Tuesday-Saturday, June 8-12 held on the campus of the University of Oregon. All individuals who placed in the top-12 in their respective event at either the East or West Regional advanced to the NCAA Championships.

Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City, is known as a family-friendly city with plenty of parks and open space. It has been rated one of the “Best Places to Raise Your Kids” by BusinessWeek.
The city traces its roots back to 1905 with the arrival of its founder William B. Strang Jr., who platted subdivisions, including one named “Overland Park,” along a military roadway.
Strang envisioned a self-sustaining, well planned “park-like” community that had strong commerce, quality education, vibrant neighborhoods, convenient transportation and accommodating recreational facilities – all amenities that today, make Overland Park one of the best places to live and grow up.
Before Strang’s death in 1921, he established several housing developments, an interurban railroad and an airfield. Remnants of his interurban line remain today as do his limestone car barn, 79th and Santa Fe Drive (home to Traditions Furniture), and his Carriage House in Santa Fe Commons Park, 8045 Santa Fe Drive, home to the Overland Park Historical Society.
Overland Park lies in the transition zone between North America’s humid subtropical climate and humid continental climate zones, typically experiencing hot, humid summers and cold, dry winters.

Ukraine made plans Wednesday to yank all its troops out of Crimea as Russian forces seized two more Ukrainian military bases in the disputed territory.
Russian-speaking forces have been surrounding Ukrainian military installations for weeks, and Wednesday took over its neighbor’s naval headquarters in Sevastopol without firing a shot.
“This morning, they stormed the compound. They cut the gates open, but I heard no shooting,” Ukrainian navy Capt. Oleksander Balanyuk told Reuters as he walked out of the compound with bags of his belongings.
“This thing should have been solved politically. Now all I can do is stand here at the gate. There is nothing else I can do,” he lamented.
Russian special forces drove off with the chief of the Ukrainian navy, Adm. Serhiy Haiduk, according to the Ukrainian military, while soldiers without insignia took down Ukrainian flags and hoisted the Russian tricolor.
A day earlier, Crimean and Russian officials signed a treaty absorbing the Black Sea peninsula into Russia.
Vice President Joe Biden met with Baltic leaders in Lithuania to demonstrate support for the former Soviet republic.
Amid the signs of surrender, Biden vowed, “As long as Russia continues on this dark path, they will face increasing political and economic isolation.”
But US and European threats and sanctions thus far have done nothing to slow Russia’s advance
Andriy Parubiy, the head of Ukraine’s security council, said that in addition to drawing up evacuation plans, he would ask the United Nations to declare it a demilitarized zone.
He spoke a day after a Ukrainian officer was killed in an apparent standoff with Russian-speaking forces, prompting Kiev to announce it was authorizing its soldiers to defend themselves.
President Obama conceded that US military action was not on the table.
“I think even the Ukrainians would acknowledge, for us to engage Russia militarily would not be appropriate, and would not be good for Ukraine, either,” he told KNSD-TV in San Diego.

Top IoT Trends to Disrupt the Tech World in 2022
October 12, 2019
Design / Ideas
There has been an ever-growing reliance on the Internet of Things (IoT) in recent years. IoT is gaining traction and effect in a myriad of areas, including healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. Despite the economic challenges and a dramatic shift to remote work, the increasing demand for a more efficient interconnected global economy has been on the rise. Research suggests that significant IoT trends are positioned to accelerate the reopening global economy and provide answers to the growing demand for distributed economies in 2022.
As per the IDC forecast, global IoT spending is expected to expand at an 11.3 % Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) throughout 2020-2024. By 2022, the global Internet spending on IoT services is predicted to surpass the $ 1 trillion mark.
The most recent IoT trends show that IoT technology has altered a number of industries the way they operate. IoT and its smart sensors have already cleared the way for automation improvements in a variety of industries. Increased usage of Cloud, development of 5G, Artificial intelligence (AI), Edge Computing, Blockchain, and other technologies are driving IoT developments in the current scenario. In 2022, the IoT is expected to be a major disruptor. Here are the top IoT trends aimed at reshaping the realm of technology and enterprises.
Cybercrime, ransomware, Cryptojacking, IoT assaults, government-sponsored attacks, and cyber-physical attacks are some of the notorious channels that are used to steal crucial organizational or personal information. With the outbreak of the Pandemic, millions of workers have switched to remote employment risking themselves in danger of cyber-attacks due to the lack of efficient cyber protection measures. As more employees relocate to remote work, cybersecurity experts and IoT proponents are working to close the gap by introducing new technologies and IoT-enabled security solutions. IoT network hacking is expected to become a routine occurrence by 2022. Intruders will be prevented from causing any harm by network operators acting as cybersecurity personnel. Companies like Sierra, Wireless, and others who have been cyber-attacked in the past have implemented IoT-driven cyber technologies. Ericsson, Microsoft, and U-Blox have also developed their own IoT-enabled threat detection and security service technologies.
Traffic jams and congestion are huge headaches in any major city throughout the world, causing people to spend more time on the road. Long commutes reduce economic output in cities around the world, making gridlock a major cause of concern. According to recent IoT trends, IoT technology is best adapted to handle this difficulty. Today, companies are releasing solutions that aim to employ IoT embedded technology in vehicles and traffic systems to construct smarter traffic grids and traffic surveys to reduce wasteful traffic and congestion. The IoT makes it easier to communicate from one device to another and ensures that everything runs properly.
IoT aids in the tracking of things as well as the transfer of current data about the assets being carried in the logistics process for people and products. An IoT channel can also be used to regulate aspects of the transportation process from a distance. The two key advantages that today’s IoT-enabled supply chains offer are greater low-cost performance and increased revenue prospects. Leading businesses were among the first to embrace the Internet of Things. I-powered robots with a built-in camera and QR scanner can quickly explore the product database and find the product in the correct spot in a repository, with increased efficiency. An IoT channel can also be used to regulate aspects of the transportation process from a distance.
In 2022, AI is expected to continue to deliver enormous value to businesses. AI has grown at an incredible rate over the last decade. It has been assisting companies and governments with critical processes such as ensuring uninterrupted delivery, social distancing, etc. In the recent period, AI helped to understand the novel COVID-19 Virus and assisted in accelerating the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine. Based on behavioral data demonstrated by customers during this significant economic transition, it has been predicted that AI will enable enterprises to promote more effectively to their clients in eCommerce as well.
IoT in the automation industry has proved to be a game-changer for automation firms. It has been helping to create new technologies to solve problems for tomorrow, enhance operations, and increase productivity. There are several reports that signify the importance of IoT in business models that have improved the company’s performance and business KPIs by raising output. Manufacturers are revamping their entire business models to become more innovative and productive with the help of automation. In IoT networks, data and analytics are used to detect applications. These technologies aid in the adoption and optimization of IoT devices, processes, applications, and infrastructure, ensuring better performance in low-latency networks.
AR and VR with IoT
With IoT, virtual and augmented reality may connect the physical and digital worlds. It opens up the possibility of using IoT data in AR and VR technology. The use of IoT in various technologies has several economic benefits, including lower costs and new and greater earnings and opportunities. Combining these technologies could help organizations teach staff about virtual prototypes of items, different types of equipment, and different business growth tactics.
Adoption of IoT in Healthcare
The Internet of Things (IoT) is undeniably changing the healthcare business by redefining the area of devices and human contact in healthcare delivery solutions. IoT-enabled devices have transformed remote monitoring in the healthcare sector empowering physicians to provide superlative treatment to keep patients safe and healthy. Furthermore, remote patient monitoring helps to shorten hospital stays and avoid readmissions. In addition, the Internet of Things has a substantial impact on lowering healthcare expenses and increasing treatment outcomes. In turn, IoT supports care and improves patient outcomes by making the interactions with doctors easier and more efficient.
The Emergence of Smart Cities
With technological advancements, IoT and edge computing have shown captivating research and development (R&D) opportunities for the creation of smart cities. Utilities, parking meters, and traffic signals are already being connected to IoT networks in some communities in the United States. By 2022, the IoT industry is estimated to reach $639.74 billion. Edge Computing-enabled Smart cities will benefit inhabitants not just in terms of social living standards, but also in terms of economic benefits.
Boost in Customer Service
IoT technology has had a significant impact on customer service and information delivery. IoT can enhance the capabilities of CRM systems, enabling them to streamline the sales process, detect and report customer issues, and improve interdepartmental collaboration. These solutions also enable businesses to participate in customer discussions, resulting in increased consumer involvement and client retention. During the pandemic, the increased usage of IoT to enforce social distancing measures were also visible.

Turnabout Day arrives in just a few days, on August 22, and as we continue to celebrate my blog’s Jamaica Month, I wanted to share one of my favorite parts of Jamaican culture — the proverbs.
My mom and grandmother were famous for passing along a little island wisdom every now and then, and as crazy as these sayings seemed to me when I was younger, their logic is apparent to me as a grown woman. Try these on for size and see if you can appreciate the truth in them.
1. Sometimes the cheapest comes the dearest. In other words, sometimes the effort to save money can cost more than just spending the extra money in the first place. Consider Tupperware as an example. It’s easy to balk at how much Tupperware costs, but I have Tupperware pieces that are older than I am. That grocery store stuff might be cheaper, but you’ll make up the difference when you have to replace it every few weeks. The same is true of shoes, purses, and that Burberry trench coat you should go ahead and buy.
2. Puss belly full, potato have skin. When the cat’s belly is full, she notices that potatoes have skin. I have a true story to use as an example for this one. One of my little cats used to live outside in the parking lot before I adopted her. Back then she used to eat whatever she could find, especially near the Dumpster. I think this is where she acquired her love for french fries (although I think it’s unAmerican to throw out perfectly good french fries). Now that she lives inside and doesn’t have to scrounge for food in the garbage, she’s developed certain preferences with regard to her fries. Specifically, she only eats the ones from McDonald’s. She will actually turn her nose up at Five Guys fries because of the skin.
3. Man meant fi hang cannot drown. This one’s about destiny. If you’re meant to hang, you can’t drown. It sounds a little morbid, but I actually find it kind of reassuring. After all, when your number is up, it’s up, but until it’s up, there’s no sense to worrying about things.
And here’s one for my upcoming story, “Turnabout Day”: What never happens in a year, can happen in a day. Expect the unexpected! It only takes an instant to change everything.
See, Chloe Newton, the heroine of my story, figured she’d never see her childhood playmate, Peter Darrow, again once he left Jamaica to return to Scotland. But years later, he’s back and ready to help her repair the fleet of steam-driven cane cutters that work her estate’s fields.
Plus Peter’s hot now. Yeah, kind of a complication when you’re trying to keep it businesslike and all.
The story takes place on Turnabout Day, a holiday when the upper class serves the servants. Chloe seizes the opportunity to … well … seize Peter, and hot hijinks ensue. Check it out.
She reached for his mouth, wanting to stroke his full lips. He intercepted her hand and pressed her fingers together almost painfully.
“Listen to me, Chloe,” he whispered before releasing her hand. “I won’t be like those rich boys you’re used to. I won’t treat you as if you’re made of glass.”
His promise, his desire-laden voice, made all her empty places ache, and she sighed. He slid his hands down her bare arms.
“Tonight, you must do as I say, love. You must do anything I say. Is that what you want, Chloe?”
She flattened her hand against his chest and summoned her friend Beryl’s flirtatious spirit. “What do you think?”
He leaned down toward her, moving with a torturous slowness, and she pressed her lips to his. Her skin burned where it met his. The smooth, soft surface of his generous mouth teased her. Need erupted in her, and she fought the desire to wrap her arms around him.
Before she could remind herself that she was Beryl tonight, he pulled away from her. “Chloe, kiss me. Kiss me.”
She pulled him to her and kissed him hard, the way she’d wanted other men to kiss her. She locked her mouth to his, but she’d only begun to ease his mouth open when he parted his lips for her. Then he took control, his tongue eagerly taking possession of her mouth.
Oh, yes. Yes!
So what happens next? You’ll have to wait a week to find out!

A decorated Easter tree is a wonderful springtime symbol of awakening and rebirth. This is an original atmospheric decor for any home. It can be either indoor or outdoor decoration. What are Easter tree 2022 trends for decoration? If you are looking for new and original ideas, this article can be your inspiration to try something new.
Easter Tree 2022 Trends – Scandinavian Style Decorating Ideas
Easter, being the main Christian holiday, symbolizes the rebirth of spring and the beginning of a new life. That is why Easter symbols and decorations are closely connected to nature. Most people associate Easter with dyed eggs, but this bright holiday has many other interesting symbols. Of course, traditions and rituals vary from one country to another. However, in the modern world, inspiring ideas are adopted by many people and it doesn’t matter whether you live in Europe, the United States or Latin America. One of the most interesting Easter tree 2022 trends is the Scandinavian style decoration based on natural materials and minimalism. This is not unexpected since Scandinavian style has conquered the interior, and is now a trend in the decor of the Easter holidays. The Scandinavian style is intertwined with other styles and traditions and has become a great base for decorating the festive table and not only. We will show you some of the best Easter tree 2022 decor trends that are filled with a light Scandinavian spirit. Hopefully these ideas will inspire you for the festive decoration in your home.
Easter Tree 2022 Decor Ideas – A Traditional or a Minimalist Look?
At the sight of an Easter tree, you really feel joyful as it conveys a feeling of spring awakening. The Easter tree has a long tradition. In the context of Christianity, it not only symbolizes the beginning of spring but marks the moment of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Decorating an Easter tree is a tradition that is passed from generation to generation.
Traditionally, Easter trees are decorated with dyed eggs, colorful ribbons and are a riot of bright colors. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, but what if brightly colored decorations do not match to the rest of your home? Contemporary interiors are designed in more neutral and natural colors and the trend for minimalistic decorations at holidays is no exception when it comes to Easter. Instead of bright yellow, red, green and blue, we see classic white and muted shades.
A Modern Look at Traditional Easter Tree Ornaments – 2022 Trends
Those who are attracted to a clean Easter look can choose soft pastels, natural and neutral colors – white, sandy and beige shades. To add an elegant touch – silver or gold accents are a great option. Decorating an Easter in Scandinavian style is not difficult, a couple of branches with a small number of eggs painted in light discreet colors are enough.
There are two main options for an Easter tree. The first is quite simple – decorate a living tree, but for many apartment residents it will be impossible. The second way is easier and less time-consuming – to use dry branches of trees or plants. The length of the branches can be different, depending on your preferences. Five or six branches will be enough, but you can take more. You will also need a vase in which you put the branches. It must be strong enough to support their weight. If you want your Easter tree to last longer, then you need to take a special container, usually used for flowers, and fill it with water.
Decorate Your Easter Tree with Eggs
Choose Easter tree ornaments that will blend harmoniously with the rest of your festive decoration and overall style of your home. Instead of traditional dyed eggs you can use white, gold or silver eggs. Luckily, the stores offer a huge variety of decorations so you will have no problem finding what you need. You can even decorate the eggs for your Easter tree by yourself – the decoupage technique is very popular and easy craft, which will be a lot of fun for your children as well.
Feathers as Easter Tree Decoration
Birds and feathers are also symbols of spring and are used for the festive spring decor – Easter wreaths, table decorations, etc. Feathers can be an adorable Easter tree ornament if you want to create a light and airy decoration.
Once you decorate your Easter tree, find the right place for it. It doesn’t have to be placed in the center of the table. To create a festive atmosphere in one space, you can put your Easter tree on a chest of drawers, on the coffee table or at an end table in the living room.

I’ve recently finished Jon Ronson’s The Psychopath Test, which is an absolutely brilliant quirky journalistic journey through Broadmoor, Scientology and DSM IV. He had an interesting Guardian article on DIY science published on Friday. He interviewed the guy who attempted to split the atom in his house, but more interestingly (at least to me) was the section on Yvonne Pambakian’s attempts at drug development in her cottage:
Five years ago, on 20 June 2007, she made an emergency call from the cottage. Her 22-year-old sister, Yolanda Cox, had gone into anaphylactic shock. When the paramedics arrived, they asked Pambakian what had happened.
“I gave her a drug for her asthma,” she told them.
Yolanda was rushed to the Royal Free hospital where a doctor, Alexander Mackay, asked her and her mother to explain exactly what they’d injected into her.
“They wouldn’t say,” he later told the coroner. “They said I didn’t need to know anything and the drug was extremely safe.” It seemed they were trying to protect some secret ingredient they’d been developing. “Some time later,” Mackay told the coroner, “they brought in paper information in two files.” The family were, in fact, injecting each other in their kitchen with an experimental drug of their invention, which they’d called B71.
Yolanda died a week later, on 27 June 2007.
Pambakian and her mother, she tells the hearing, began their experiments back in the mid-90s, pooling their areas of expertise (she’s a GP, her mother an immunologist). One day, they had a kind of eureka moment. To summarise it: some diabetes sufferers have an autoantibody that’s responsible for their resistance to insulin, and the Pambakians supposed that, as insulin resistance is so uniquely destructive, if they could derive a peptide from the autoantibody, it would be uniquely curative. So they did, and they called it B71. They began posting patent applications. B71 would treat – and this is just a small sample – asthma, diabetes, psoriasis, eczema, Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, depression, Parkinson’s, migraines, multiple sclerosis, premature baldness in men, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, insomnia, cancer and HIV.
This sort of thing is far more common than you’d think, particularly in the US where quack autism and cancer treatments are peddled in the name of “research”. Sometimes defended by the use of litigation.

We look forward to seeing you! Dr. Phillips and his team are warm, friendly people focused on giving you the excellent dental care you deserve. We will mail or email you patient information forms so you can have them prepared and ready to bring to your first appointment.
When You Come For An Office Visit
Promptness is very important: Please allow time for traffic or other obstacles to arrive for your appointment on time. If you must leave home or work early, please do so. Every delay affects everyone's schedule.
New patient forms: Make sure you complete these forms before you arrive. If they are not ready, this will inconvenience others.
We appreciate these courtesies. Our patients have busy schedules and we plan our schedule accordingly. This allows everyone to have a good day.
For your first appointment, please:
Complete your electronic patient information forms in advance and email them to us using our secure email - or you may bring your completed forms with you.
Costs of Dental Treatment
Your smile is yours forever, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to receive the best dental care whenever you need it.
The cost of your treatment may vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. We will discuss with you the cost of your treatment and each of your available payment plan options before you begin treatment, so that you can make the best choice for you, your smile, and your family.
Payment options to help you get the care you deserve: Our practice accepts cash, checks, debit cards, major credit cards, HSA cards, third-party financing with Care Credit, and dental plans when your dental plan allows you to choose your own dentist.
Understanding Dental Plans
Dental plans are a wonderful benefit and we recognize the important role dental benefits play in improving access to dental care for millions of Americans. Since our practice's inception in 1967, we have seen dramatic changes to the dental plan industry.
Several decades ago, dental plans were uncomplicated and easily understood. Nationally, we are now witnessing more confusion and frustration as dental plans are becoming increasingly complex with more limitations and exclusions.
As the cost of employer-provided dental plan premiums have skyrocketed, employers have decreased dental benefits. Consequently, employees now bear a much greater responsibility for the cost of dental care than in years past.
Using years of expertise, it is our commitment to provide both the highest quality of care possible AND to obtain the highest level of dental benefits for our patients. We are here to partner with you to help you understand your dental benefit plan.
Don't Have a Dental Plan? No Problem!
You can still see a dentist if you don't have a dental plan. In fact, because coverage from individual dental plans is often so limited, many people have chosen to pay-as-they-go with dental care, instead of carrying an individual dental plan -- as it often is more cost-effective in the long run.
Consider this: If you only need two cleanings a year, with annual diagnostic x-rays and an exam, the cost will be less than $500 (a typical deductible). You might consider foregoing an individual dental plan and simply budget for dental care every year.
Our multiple payment options make it possible for patients to get the treatment they need, whether they have a dental plan or not.
Frequently Asked Questions
We have highlighted the most common questions and misunderstandings we hear, to help you understand your benefits better.
First of all, we would love to see you and will gladly help with all your dental plan concerns. We will ask for an estimated co-payment and file your dental plan claims for you. Your questions are best answered by defining the different types of dental plans first.
Indemnity Dental Plans allow you to see any dentist with equal reimbursement regardless of whom you see.
Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) are dental plans that have contracted with dentists who agree to accept the PPO dental plan fee schedule as a financial incentive for patients to select their practice. Contracted dentists are considered "in network" and on their provider list. PPOs allow patients to see "out of network" dentists and use their dental dental plan benefits but there may be a higher fee. This varies among the dental plans, so you will need to learn the details about your plan. Also, keep in mind that "Preferred" in PPO does not reflect the dentistís expertise or experience. It simply means that dentist in "in network".
HMO or DMO (capitation) plans only provide reimbursement if one sees a dentist contracted to provide care at generally a greatly reduced dental plan fee schedule. Just remember, this type of plan may involve corporate dentists who donít guarantee their work. Make sure youíre seeing a highly experienced dentist.
The level of reimbursement you receive is based upon what you and your employer pay as premiums, and you have a choice of whom delivers your care. We are not on any "list" and have one fee schedule for all our patients regardless of dental plan coverage. This allows us to remain a quality-driven practice and make recommendations based upon what is in the best interest of our patientís health, not on what a dental plan will pay.
More and more employers are offering PPO type plans to their employees. With this type of plan, you can choose any dentist for your care. Remember, you will still be expected to pay the co-payment for care and any deductible, regardless of the dentist you see.
A dental plan is not the same as your health insurance. A dental plan will not cover all necessary care. Dental plans are designed to help defray the costs of dental treatment, not pay for dental care. Typically, plans cover varying percentages of treatment, but not necessarily all treatment.
Nearly all dental plans have an annual maximum benefit limit, regardless of your dental needs. Your annual benefits limit may be based upon a calendar year, fiscal year, or an enrollment year.
Individual dental plan
Dental plan companies will often pay for the least expensive treatment option. However, the least expensive option is not always the best.
In some cases, we have seen a dental plan actually change the procedure code we put on your claim. They will change it to reflect a less complex or lower-cost procedure than you actually had -- covering the cost of a stainless steel crown instead of a porcelain crown, for example. When this happens, your coverage of your actual procedure will be much less.
In addition, dental plans often have a pre-existing condition clause. A dental plan may not cover conditions that existed before you enrolled in the plan. For example, if a tooth was extracted prior to the effective date of the plan, they will not provide benefits toward an implant.
If you have a dental plan through your employer, then your dental plan is a contract between your employer and the dental plan company. The more you and your employer pay for the dental plan, the higher the percentage of coverage and the more procedures that will be covered. We will file your dental claim as a courtesy and collect for any estimated patient responsibility at the time of care.
Your plan sponsor or human resources department should provide you with information that defines co-payments, exclusions, limitations, and annual maximums. We will gladly help ascertain this information for you. Regardless of who provides the information, dental plan companies stress that the information provided is subject to professional review and is only an estimate. Benefits are determined when a claim is received along with all of the requested supporting documentation.
Even if a procedure is dentally necessary, it may not be a covered benefit based upon the plan negotiated between your employer and a dental plan company.
A denial from your dental plan company does not mean that the services are not necessary. Treatment decisions should be made by you and your dentist. We will always recommend treatment based on your needs, not on what a dental plan company will or will not cover.
For instance, a dental plan may limit the number of times it will pay for a certain treatment. But some patients may need a treatment more often to maintain good oral health. For example, some people need a cleaning four times a year. The plan may cover only two cleanings per year.
Your teeth are valuable. You should make treatment decisions based on what's best for your health, not just what is covered by your plan. Dr. Phillips will advise you on treatment that is best for your situation.
You can and we want to provide it for you. However, most dental plans have annual reimbursement maximums that haven't changed since the inception of dental plans in the 1960's. Once you exceed your "annual maximum", no treatment will be covered by your dental plan. You need to know whether your "annual year" is based upon the calendar year or fiscal year.
This is an important consideration for us, as we want to help you maximize your benefits. Likewise, many plans have "frequency exclusions" that you need to be aware of. If you have your teeth cleaned even one day prior to the typically allowable six months, it may not be covered.
Your dental plan company pays 100% for the service provided up to the arbitrary limit they have set with your employer. They will pay 100% of their limit, not what your dentist or any other dentist in your area may actually charge for this service. Again, the more you and your employer pay for the plan, the greater the reimbursement level.
All services under your plan have a "covered expense", "maximum allowable", "usual", "customary" or "reasonable" fee that your dental plan uses to base coverage upon.
UCR stands for "usual, customary and reasonable" charges which are the maximum allowable amounts that will be covered by the plan. Although these terms make it sound like a UCR charge is the standard rate for dental care, it is not.
The terms are misleading for several reasons. Dental plan companies can set whatever amount they want for UCR charges. They may not match current actual fees charged by dentists in a given area. A companyís UCR amounts may stay the same for many years. They do not have to keep up with inflation or the increased costs of providing dental care. In addition, dental plan companies are not required to say how they set their UCR rates. Each company has its own formula.
We estimate what your co-payment will be based upon all the information we can obtain from your dental plan company and our experience. What your dental plan company considers the "covered expense" or "maximum allowable" fee is proprietary information they will not share with us. The only way to obtain the exact allowance for care is by submitting a Pre-treatment Estimate before treatment is initiated and then wait for a response and even then your dental plan company will not guarantee payment.
Don't delay needed treatment thinking your dental plan will cover more if you wait until the next "annual year". We often see patients delay treatment for months -- but during that time, their dental problem has worsened, so their treatment will be more complicated and costly. They will also have more dental visits to get the treatment.
If they had simply had the treatment performed when it was recommended, the treatment would have been simpler and they would have paid far less out-of-pocket.
That being said, it is sometimes possible to delay care, to maximize dental plan benefits, without necessary risk of the care becoming more costly and complicated. Letís talk about your specific needs and weigh the risks of delaying treatment.
Dr. Phillips is really good about helping patients prioritize their care. He can help patients plan their care over five years or longer so they can budget for it. Dr. Phillips understands that dental work can be a strain, and will always work with you to prioritize and plan sensibly.
The "fine print" of most dental plans allows them to substitute and pay only for the least expensive treatment alternative. Again, this is an issue of the contract negotiated between your employer and a dental plan company, based upon the costs of the plan. As with many things in life, the least expensive may not be the best. Over the period of your lifetime, the least expensive dental treatment now may be more costly in the long run.
If you have a plan through your employer, talk to your human resources department.
Voice your desire for a change in the benefit structure, such as a higher maximum. Voice your complaint about the administrator of the plan not processing your claims in a timely manner.
Your employer is not going to know your frustrations if they are not told. With knowledge people can make change. While you're at it, be sure to also show your appreciation for the gift of the dental benefits that they have already offered.
Coordination of Benefits (COB) or Non-duplication of Benefits are terms applied to patients that are covered by more than one dental plan. The benefit payments from all insurers should not add up to more than the total charges. Even though you may have two or more dental benefit plans, there is no guarantee that all of the plans will pay for your services.
Sometimes none of the plans will pay for the services you need due to the maximum being met or due to frequency limitations of certain procedures. Each dental plan company handles COB in its own way.
We are often asked which individual dental plan we recommend. Here's what we have experienced. Similar to group plans, individual plans have deductibles, frequency limitations, exclusions and a maximum but they most often also have a waiting period for certain procedures of up to 12 months or more. In addition, we are finding more and more individual plans that have a very low Maximum Allowable leaving a greater out-of-pocket than predicted. Because a dental plan companyís Maximum Allowable is proprietary, we are not allowed access to the special fee schedule.
To get a closer idea as to what an individual plan will cover, we recommend a pre-treatment estimate. In essence, having an individual plan is like gambling; at some point you may be ahead, but a dental plan company, like a casino, has to be profitable.
There are a wide variety of individual dental plan plans on the market. We have found no individual plan that would be consistently beneficial in providing excellent care at reasonable premiums.
Actually, you can have greater choice and flexibility by not having a dental plan. Many of our patients do not have a dental plan. Instead of paying premiums on an inadequate dental plan, consider putting the money in a savings account. Invest it. Use it to pay for your dental care yourself when needed.
We recommend budgeting for dental care expenses similar to budgeting for regular car maintenance and new tires.
You have a choice
Dr. Phillips has been voted Best Dentist in Sonoma County two years in a row as well as receiving dozens of 5 star reviews making us one of the best dental practices in the area.
Choosing a quality-driven dental practice may mean paying slightly more out-of-pocket. Dental plans are just one part of your healthy mouth plan. We are here to assist you and help you understand your dental plan. Our goal is to maximize the benefits you are entitled to and for you to receive these reimbursements as quickly as possible. If you find out what your dental plan covers and plan accordingly, it can help you have a healthy mouth.
We want to help you take the best possible care of your teeth so they will last a lifetime!

"The American economy and citizens will surprise the world with our resilience…The lodging industry may resist further declines inin 2002," read a research briefing from PricewaterhouseCoopers, released September 12, 2001. Seven months later, the statement seems more prescient than optimistic: Despite a challenging first-quarter for the U.S. lodging industry, Mark Lomanno, president of Smith Travel Research, says, "We believe the stage is set for improved industry performance for the balance of 2002 and into 2003."
The bad news is that occupancy was down the first quarter of 2002 by 5.6 percent over first-quarter 2001; average room rate fell 5.1 percent; and revenue per available room, or revPAR, went down 10.5 percent the first three months of this year. "The U.S. lodging industry endured a challenging operating environment in the first quarter," says Lomanno.
The good news is that the overall economy is making an unexpectedly strong comeback, which led PwC to forecast in April that lodging demand will increase 3.8 percent in 2002 over last year. Increasing demand, coupled with the slowest growth in supply in eight years, means occupancy also will increase to the tune of 1.2 percent, bringing it to 61.3 percent this year. PwC also forecasts that revenue per available room, or revPAR, will bounce up 3 percent over last year. Average daily room rate recovery is lagging behind other indicators, however, which means revPAR won’t bounce all the way up to 2000 levels until next year, according to PwC.

I was amazed when I joined amazed at the honesty of the people on the site amazed by their stories and I found at last a space where I could just be me!!!

Then one day a specific avatar came into my life she told me about herself and I found myself wanting to share who I am. I got to know the person and still am getting to know the person behind the avatar and she is fab!! Don't be fooled by thinking a photograph makes a person real!!

More than 100 people packed the Uniting Church Hall to hear our members spread their love of singing and helped raise $3197 for Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels.
The morning entertainment featured foot-stomping highlights from our repertoire of African, world and gospel music, with guest appearances by Girls with Pearls, Patsy Cline Sisters, Dean Martin (aka Geoff Hawes) singing Amore and veteran member Don Hardgrave with his humorous rendition of Side by Side. Guests then enjoyed a wonderful feast for morning tea, prepared by choir members.
“Our members have the biggest hearts. They not only spread joy through song but volunteer their time outside of choir to a wide range of local community groups, including Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels,” choir director Yvonne said.
Cool Harmonies also farewelled long-term supporter and ‘friend of the choir’ Judy Blackall from Marcoola Community Bank Branch, who has been promoted to Regional Manager in Cairns.
“We thank Judy for her support over the last seven years and the bank’s sponsorship which has allowed Cool Harmonies to undertake a range of projects, including a CD, calendar and cookbook, with proceeds from sales being donated back to community groups,” Yvonne said.

HOW IT LOOKS/FEELS:
The light tan cream feels slightly greasy until it dries and becomes translucent as you blend it in.
WHY WE LIKE IT:
An eye-shadow primer first struck us as a superfluous step in our makeup routine, but we didn't know what we were missing. A tiny dot on each eyelid helps both cream and powder shadows go on smoothly and have more intense color payoff. It also holds eye makeup in place for the entire day and prevents smearing, creasing, or melting. In short: It makes all our eye shadows better.
You're going to want them all.
You do not want to miss out on this epic sale.

Ben Affleck Wins Best Director For ‘Argo’ at the 2013 Golden Globes
Even though Ben Affleck wasn't nominated in the Best Director category at the 2013 Oscars, the actor-director was a surprise win at the 2013 Golden Globes, beating out the likes of Kathryn Bigelow ('Zero Dark Thirty') and Quentin Tarantino ('Django Unchained').
The crowd at the 2013 Golden Globes seemed to really be happy for Affleck and he got a mini-standing ovation from the audience. Affleck himself looked a little confused when his name was announced, probably not expecting much since he wasn't even nominated for an Oscar.
The actor thanked the film's cast, wife Jennifer Garner and his friends who stood by him when he was a "nobody" and then when things weren't going so well.
It was a great win for Affleck and that makes his 'Argo' Oscar snub that much more noteworthy.

When you drive a car, sometimes it's fine to just chug along. But if there's a threat you might suddenly have to take action to get out of trouble. Could it be similar for front-line immune cells called macrophages when an infection tries to take hold?
A new study suggests that unthreatened macrophages tick over on one form of core metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation. But throw a bacterial threat into the mix and that metabolism switches over to a form called aerobic glycolysis, and you see an inflammatory response.
Prof Luke O'Neill from Trinity College Dublin likens the switch to what happens in a hybrid car when it changes from using electricity as a source of energy to burning petrol instead. And he and colleagues have just mapped out how a bacterial signal can flip the macrophage 'engine' from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis.
You could extend that hybrid-car analogy even further. Macrophages in the blood have the job of 'sensing' potential threats such as bacteria and then engulfing them. So perhaps they are like hybrid police cars, keeping watch and responding when there's a threat.
The study found that if you expose macrophages to lipopolysaccharide - a signal of bacterial threat - the LPS binds to a toll-like receptor on the surface of the macrophage. This is an early signal of trouble, much like the message coming in over the police radio.
Then the core metabolism in the macrophage changes from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis, the equivalent of putting the boot down and switching the energy source in the hybrid engine.
"If there's a bacterial invader threatening an infection, then you want the macrophages to become active, this is a good thing," says O'Neill, who is Director of the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute.
As well as the switch to glycolysis, you also see an inflammatory response, and O'Neill believes they have found an important cog in the mechanism: succinate.
"When macrophages make that switch there is also a rise in the metabolite succinate, and this acts as a danger signal that turns on the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1ss," he explains.
Succinate also appears to alter the shapes of several proteins in the macrophages, though it's not known exactly what effect this has - there is plenty yet to discover. "I would anticipate that these proteins are activated through this succinylation process, but that is something we are going to look at now," says O'Neill.
In other words, succinate seems to act as the police car's siren, spreading the news that a response is needed and triggering it in the form of inflammation.
Of course this activation and inflammation can be helpful when there's a threat to fight off. But too much of an inflammatory response is not such good news: if it runs on for too long you can get chronic inflammation, or if the response is overzealous, it can result in potentially life-threatening sepsis.
So the researchers also looked at ways to reduce the inflammation, and found that they were able to inhibit interleukin-1ss expression in the model by interfering with the switch to glycolysis.
They were also able to tone down the inflammatory response with an anti-epilepsy medication called vigabatrin. "We tried that because the drug interferes with a pathway by which the macrophages are making succinate," explains O'Neill. "And we saw that the drug protected mice from a serious immune reaction called sepsis."
Dampening down the macrophage's ability to respond might not be such a great idea for people in good health, but being able to cut the inflammatory ramp-up could point to new treatments for acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, according to O'Neill. "It's very exciting because we now have a new way to interfere with the production of interleukin-1, which is implicated in several conditions, including diabetes," he says.
The findings could also offer insight on the relationship between inflammation and cancer, he adds, because glycolytic metabolism is also seen in tumor cells - the Warburg effect - and cancer and inflammation go hand in glove. "There is a parallel here, the same peculiar metabolism is kicking off in tumors as we see in macrophages," says O'Neill.
Co-author Prof Cormac Taylor, from University College Dublin, agrees that the study highlights the links between biochemical pathways that we typically associate with metabolism, immunity and disease. "What has become really important recently is the recognition of the key role of cross-talk between the pathways regulating metabolism, inflammation and tumor development," he says. "And this is one of the clearest examples where there is a direct interface between inflammation and the type of metabolism we see in cancer."

Indianapolis Colts: The Real Reasons for the Team’s Collapse
The Dime Package has been on an extended break. After the commiserations of the Colts loss in Super Bowl XIV and a subsequent extended trip overseas, I started the 2010 Colts' season like many other fans, firmly planted on my couch. What I expected was another year of title contention, a march to another 12-win season, and a steady dose of Peyton Manning and his magnificent offensive weapons.
What I got was a completely different season.
Still, I had stayed away from the keyboard and my beloved column. An 0-2 division record didn't inspire me to write. Ron Jaworski's comments on "diminishing skills" didn't make me flinch. Like many Colts fans, I was metaphorically fat and happy on the legacy of the Manning era of Colts history. I channeled my inner Monty Python and decided the early season indignities were but a flesh wound.
And then came last night.
All of a sudden the Colts ...

Recently our wallpaper and fabrics have been getting a lot of attention in the land of blogs and we are truly grateful! Maybe it is because I have been putting so much effort into our blog, which I hope is as wonderful as these some day!
Above is a dreamy combination put together by one of our clients, Jami Suspic, using one of our new Era Collection wallpaper patterns on her blog Affordable Decor. Another client, Jacinda Barrett, featured us on her BEAUTIFUL blog which features design, travel and fashion. We sold one of our new wall hangings to Chassity Evans of Look, Linger, Love and she was kind enough to blog about it and today we saw a post about Brooklyn designers on Andrea Sosa Fontaine’s blog which featured us along with some gorgeous designs by Andre Joyau, pictured below.

Back in April, artist Billie Achilleos was hired by Louis Vuitton (for the second time) to make art out of their famous bags for the 100th anniversary of their LSLG Savoir Faire collection, and man, did she deliver. She turned the fancy bags into cute critters like a grasshopper, a chameleon, and a beaver, and subsequently displayed them at a press event in Paris. I can only imagine how pleasurable it must have felt to cut up a thousand-dollar handbag knowing someone else paid for it. If that’s not the most fun you can have with a pair of scissors, I don’t know what is.
Now there’s a video showing Achilleos’ creative process from start to finish, and it, like the sculptures, is pretty interesting. It shows her sketching, thinking, making the actual things, and ultimately, showing them off. As much as I wish she’d taken this chance to do something a little more strange and/or subversive, that probably wouldn’t have gone over well with the company. However, I do kind of hope she kept a few bags for herself and is going to use them in a super weird non-commissioned art piece someday. How awesome would it be to see an LV bag turned into, say, the vagina dentata it has always truly been, all toothy and covered in menstrual blood? A quick glance at her website full of beautiful sculptures shows she’s not really that kind of artist, but hey, a girl can dream.

The Oracle-Google trial has revealed some interesting information about the profitability of Android, or indeed lack of it, in 2010.
The judge presiding over Oracle's action against Google regarding the use of Java in its Android operating system, has revealed that Android made a net loss in every quarter of 2010 (despite taking almost $100 million in revenue, in the first quarter of the year).
Finances were being discussed at the trial yesterday during a damages hearing.
Currently, the jury is debating the outcome of the first phase of the trial, which concerns copyright in the Android-Java row. The second will focus on patent issues, and the third phase in determining any actual damages due to Oracle.
This first phase is the important one, though, as a nod in Google's direction from the jury is likely to mean the firm is pretty much in the clear - as this is seen as the strongest part of Oracle's case.
The jury retired to deliberate their verdict on Monday, which was expected to take a couple of days. However, they've still yet to arrive at a decision - and yesterday afternoon, a juror sent a note asking would what happen if they can't reach a unanimous verdict. Upon receiving that, the judge sent them home, and they've continued the debate today.
It sounds like this isn't going to be resolved this week, as was expected, and we'll have to wait until early next week before judgement is delivered on Android.

THOMAS JEFFERSON is regarded by John W. Davis as the greatest political thinker the United States has produced, and one of its five greatest Presidents. There is a curious coincidence in their careers, tastes and characters, so far as these are disclosed. Without asserting for them a significance they do not possess, the similarities are still sufficiently striking to command attention. Both were born April 13-Jefferson in 1743 and Davis in 1873-of Anglo-Celtic Ancestry and frontier forbears. Jefferson came from a small mountain community on the east slope of the Blue Ridge, Davis from a similar settlement on the west slope, by air line less than 150 miles distant. Jefferson's mother, a Randolph, was a cultured and intellectual woman; his father, Peter Jefferson, a civil engineer and burgess, passed on to his son an intense democratic philosophy. Davis' mother, a Kennedy, possessed a fine mind and excellent education; his father, John J. Davis, a lawyer, legislator and ardent Jeffersonian, likewise bequeathed his beliefs to his offspring.
At the age of twenty Jefferson was graduated from William and Mary College; at nineteen, Davis was graduated from Washington and Lee University. Each subsequently studied law and achieved distinction in his profession.
Each began his public career as a member of the State Legislature, Jefferson at twenty-six and Davis at twenty-five. Jefferson entered the Continental Congress when thirty-three. Davis entered Congress when thirty-seven. In 1785 Jefferson was in Paris on a diplomatic mission when appointed minister to France. In 1918 Davis was in London on a diplomatic mission when appointed ambassador to Great Britain. After a period of public service each retired to private life-Jefferson upon resigning as secretary of state, Davis upon resigning as ambassador-only to be recalled three years later to renewed political activities.
In their personal characteristics other parallels appear. Jefferson is described by biographers as "an expert violinist, a good singer and dancer, proficient in outdoor sports and an excellent horseman." It is further recorded that he "never used tobacco, never played cards, never gambled and was never party to a personal quarrel." Herein differences develop. Davis, while a violinist, has closely guarded the degree of his proficiency, and possibly could not qualify as an "expert." Moreover he enjoys a philosophic pipe and now and then a cigar. Against the assurance that Jefferson was a "good singer," however, may be balanced the knowledge that Davis sang a mean bass in the Presbyterian choir at Lexington during college days, and was one of two students who carried the baritone in the glee club. At college he boxed and played tennis. In Clarksburg they say "John always could ride." He plays golf like the average American, sometimes in threes and fours, and again in nines and tens. While he appears to have done a reasonable amount of dancing in his youth, he apparently never acquired the bridge habit. If he mastered a course of draw poker in college, the fact is not revealed in his ratings. Avoiding personal quarrels on his own account, he nevertheless once publicly whipped one of his father's political adversaries; and again, during the trial of a case in court, punched one of the elder Davis' legal antagonists on the point of the jaw. In each instance the attack was in retaliation for a slighting reference to the parent.
Politically Davis classifies himself as a Jeffersonian:
"I am a genuine Jeffersonian Democrat. I think Jefferson was the greatest political thinker this country has produced, and I expect to die in that faith. If Jefferson's principles are true-and I think they are-then they remain true, even with changing times. Their application may change, but they do not."
Intellectual inclinations and a studious nature
afford a further basis for comparison. For many years Jefferson
was President of the American Philosophical Society. In 1922-23
Davis served as President of the American Bar Association, and
while in London was made a Bencher of the Middle Temple. Jefferson's
reading is said to have covered a remarkable range. In Davis'
speeches may be found quotations from almost any author, ancient
or modern, from Aristotle
and his predecessors to Mark Twain.
Concerning Jefferson's temperament one of his biographers says:
'' Beneath a quiet surface he was fairly aglow with intense convictions and a very emotional temperament. Yet he seems to have acted habitually, in great and little things, on system."
Those who know Davis best declare the description fits him perfectly. There, however, the similarities cease.
It is a common saying around Clarksburg that
"John W. Davis has been kicked into every offce he ever held."
In the same category is the classic assertion of Dr. J. "W".
Johnston, the Davis family physician, that "John don't know
a damn thing about politics and never did." Another of the
same variety is that things have come "too easy" for
him-the old story of Lady Luck. Like many such remarks, these
are half-truths which permit inaccurate inferences. It so hap-
pens that in three specific instances chance or destiny-in the form of his friends-have yanked him by the scruff of the neck out of an active law practice and flung him headlong into the political arena. This occurred when he went to the Legislature in 1898, again when sent to Congress in 1910, and once more when nominated for President in 1924. To this extent fortune has smiled-if it is good fortune to be so maltreated. Against this, and representing an additional contribution to the truth, stands the fact that, having been "kicked in," his performance was such as to make luck an unnecessary adjunct of promotion.
His record as a lawyer would appear to preclude controversy. He was informally tendered appointment to the United States Supreme Court twice, first by Wilson and again under Harding. The late Chief Justice Edward Douglass White once called at the White House to express unofficially to President Wilson his own hope and that of associates on the bench that Davis might be appointed to an existing vacancy. On another occasion he remarked facetiously that "the court thinks so much of John Davis that when he appears for the Government the other side hardly gets 'due process of law.' " His election as President of the American Bar Association, supplementing the other developments, would seem to foreclose argument as to his standing in the legal profession.
As to his past life, it is related that a certain publisher sent one of his ablest investigators to Clarksburg to learn all that could be learned to his discredit. After devoting a week or two to the investigation, the reporter went in desperation to the opposition newspaper.
"Say," he demanded, "hasn't anybody got anything on Davis?"
"Damned if I know," the editor blandly replied. "We haven't."
There is, however, a blot on the record. As one of the "high crimes and misdemeanors" of his youth, it was discovered that he had never attended the little red school house in Clarksburg-if it were red. This is true. Nor was he born in a log cabin. Investigation reveals that he was ushered into the world in an unromantic frame house on Mechanic Street, Clarksburg, and that his mother insisted on teaching him until he was ten years old.
A sense of humor may be traced to college days. An example which he has probably forgotten is contained in a letter addressed in 1915, while Solicitor General, to Samuel E. Bentley of Clarksburg. Bentley was trying to sell him additional life insurance, and had submitted a verbal proposal. The interview was interrupted before a final answer had been given. Accustomed to address each other as "John" and "Sam," Davis wrote Bentley as follows:
"I have all the life insurance that I want. In fact, I am now carrying more than I can afford. If I were going to take any more life insurance, I should choose some small, inconspicuous company with opportunities for growth, instead of one of the great bloated octopi which burden the business of the United States. These remarks are of course peculiarly applicable to your company, which I understand to be the largest and most odious of them all.
"With these preliminary remarks, if you will send me an application along the lines of your new proposal I think I can see my way clear to do something with it. Does your company dare show its goods in advance by way of specimen policies?
"I am, Sir, with sentiments of profound respect,
" JOHN W. DAVIS."
During the world war Davis delivered an extemporaneous speech in behalf of the Second Liberty Loan which so impressed Blackburn Esterline, an associate in the Solicitor General's office, that the latter had it printed for private distribution. A flood of flattering acknowledgments came from Cabinet officers, Federal officials, members of the judiciary, lawyers, financiers and captains of industry. One day Esterline bundled these up and sent them to Davis' desk for his perusal. They came back with the scribbled note:
"B. E.-When George Bernard Shaw was called out for a curtain speech upon the first presentation of a new play, a gallery god voiced his disapproval by yelling 'Boo.' Shaw looked up and said, 'I agree with you, my friend, but what are we among so many?'-J. W. D."
When the so-called Five Per Cent cases were before the United States Supreme Court, Davis appeared for the Government on a certain Tuesday. On the following Monday the Court issued an order for a rehearing. John J. Fitzgerald of New York, counsel for the defense and a noted wit, gathered several other lawyers about him and called Davis over.
"Has to argue the case again," Fitzgerald bantered. "Can't make the Court understand what he's talking about!"
"Nothing of the sort," Davis retorted. "I got an encore."
An old negro in Clarksburg who in former years worked for the Davis family could always extract a quarter or "fo' bits" by remarking, on meeting him on the street: "Yassuh, us kinfolks's got to stick together."
Books behind glass look to him "like prisoners behind bars." He twists an old adage to excuse a habit of reading into the morning hours: "Late to bed and early to rise make a man-well, it agrees with me." At a state political convention in 1900 he was asked, "What is the secret of an orator?" He replied: "To know when to speak, when not to speak, and when to conclude."
In the ancestry of John W. Davis a considerable intermixture appears. There are Welsh, English, Scotch, Scotch-Irish and Dutch strains-with the Scotch, however, distinctly predominant. Among his forbears were Covenanters, cavaliers and Quakers; carpenters, clockmakers, farmers, saddlers, printers, merchants, revolutionaries, and colonial land-holders. A sister of John W. Davis-Nancy, now Mrs. H. G. Richardson-has compressed the story into these lines:
"The Covenanters through my father claim
The cavaliers upon my mother's line;
With me a jolly, laughing Irish strain,
Smooths out the Covenanter's stern set brow;
The Quaker holds the cavalier in check;
I am a part of each-I know not how."
In the dim annals of antiquity the Davis line doubtless had its origin in the hills of Wales. Tradition says the family may be traced to the sturdy mountain Welsh who repelled the invasion of the Saxon king of Northumberland in the seventh century.
West Virginia is full of Davises, most of them of Maryland stock. A collateral branch traces direct descent from Thomas Davis of London, who came of an ancient Welsh family which had settled in Shropshire. He arrived in Maryland late in 1688 as a factor for several large mercantile establishments in London. Thereafter the names John, Bezin, and Caleb frequently appear in the Davis line. While family records fail to show a connection between Thomas Davis of Maryland and the family which produced John W. Davis, the evidence is overwhelming that such a connection exists. Early in the nineteenth century, a John Davis and Bezin Davis, the sons of Caleb Davis of "Woodstock, Virginia, joined the westward migration over the Northwest Pike and crossed the Blue Ridge to Clarksburg, then a settlement of some 300 souls. This John Davis, a saddler by trade, was the father of John J. and the grandfather of John "W. Davis. He became sheriff of Harrison County and lived to see his two sons, Eezin Caleb and John J. Davis, enter the profession of law and as young men attain prominence. The latter was born in Clarksburg May 5,1835, and died there in 1916 at the age of eighty-one.
Anna Kennedy Davis, the mother of John W. Davis, was born on Camden Street, Baltimore, November 14, 1841, the eldest of seven children, and came to Clarksburg at the time of her marriage. She died in 1917, at the age of seventy-six. "William "Wilson Kennedy, her father, was a lumber merchant. Her mother, Catherine Esdale Martin Kennedy, was a southerner, a daughter of Tobias Martin, who owned a dairy farm near Washington and wrote occasional verse. The Esdales, her mother's family, were Pennsylvania Quakers, living near Valley Forge, and helped provision "Washington's troops during their desperate winter there.
James O'Donnell Bennett, writing in the Chicago Tribune, says of James Steen, the great-grandfather of John "W. Davis on the paternal side, a carpenter, that he "was so strong that, by holding on by thumb and forefinger he could swing himself from rafter to rafter." In digging into the family archives, he produced this further bit of fascinating history:
"That great grandfather of the mighty
thumb and forefinger was James Steen, an Ulster man who had emigrated
from Scotland to Ireland. Coming into town one day he was about
to be drafted into the English army. Vowing he would never take
up arms against his adopted Ireland, he hurried back to his farm,
sold all he had, and sailed at once for America. This was about
1793. He looked around in New York and Philadelphia and then took
up the trade of carpentry in Washington. One of his jobs was to
build the steps to the rotunda of the old Capitol-the one which
General Boss burned in 1814. James finally went back to farming,
settling in Morgantown, West Virginia, where he died in 1839 at
the age of 70. Though he was a toiler he had a coat of arms, dating
from before 1650, which was a Phoenix rising to the sun, the whole
set off with the laudible motto, 'Ad diem tendo.'
"James Steen had married in Scotland the expert little talker, Jane Small, whom tradition connects with the Small brothers, Edinburg publishers, and with the family of the English diplomat, Sir Thomas Bodley, who founded the Bodleian library at Oxford in the sixteenth century. It is said, too, that Jane, specializing in talk by day, did all her reading after her family had gone to bed."
Another great-grandfather, James Kennedy, was
foreman of the Globe Printing Office, in Washington. His son,
William Wilson Kennedy, learned Spanish and Italian at the age
of eighty. The Kennedys go back to the twelfth century in Scotland,
where James Kennedy, a great-great-great-grandfather, an Inverness
man, married Rachel Jennings, an Englishwoman.
He was a follower of "Bonnie Prince Charlie." Compelled to flee Scotland, he escaped to Ireland and thence emigrated to America, locating finally in Baltimore and founding an American line.
These were the forbears of John W. Davis, sturdy folk all. Men are the sum of their backgrounds.

We are thrilled to share the first answer in our series with First Lady Michelle Obama. Since we're in back-to-school mode, this week we're focusing on education and women's health. Here's the first lady in her own words:
"Fall is officially here, and like a lot of parents around the country, Barack and I are feeling a little sentimental about our girls getting another year older and starting a new grade at school. I can tell many of you are feeling the same way, because I got a lot of questions this week about issues affecting our kids, from education to health care. So, this week, I'll answer some of those — and maybe a couple others as well."
Read on for Michelle's answer to PopSugar reader Ashley Goodman's question. Ashley asks, "What does the president plan on doing in order to help ease some of the financial debt for students?"
We are still taking questions! There are three ways to participate:
We're so excited to hear what's on your mind and to speak to First Lady Michelle Obama together.

Vīrarāghavācārya was a 20th c. Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedāntin whose editorial and commentarial contribution to his school will remain impressive for many generations to come. Personally, I am particularly pleased by his attempts to think along the tradition in a creative way.
Within his subcommentary on Vedānta Deśika’s Seśvaramīmāṃsā, Vīrarāghavācārya is at times closer to Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta than Vedānta Deśika’s pro-Mīmāṃsā attitudes. At other times, he just elaborates further on Vedānta Deśika’s hints. In one of such cases, he describes how the choice of words in Pūrva Mīmāṃsā Sūtra 1.1.2 (codanālakṣaṇo ‘rtho dharmaḥ ‘Dharma is that goal which is known through Vedic injunctions’) was not at all casual. Rather, each word had a direct meaning and also further suggested something more. For instance, codanālakṣaṇa is not just the same as codanāpramāṇa, but rather suggests that the Vedic injunction also defines what dharma is. dharma is also to be interpreted etymologically as ‘instrument of dhṛti‘, where dhṛti means prīti ‘happiness’. Similarly, artha indicates that bhakti is the result to be achieved, consisting in pleasing God. Then he sums up:
Through the word dharma, which means instrument for dhṛti, Jaimini also suggests that this ritual action devoid of desire which is a purpose in itself (svayamprayojana) is different than the instruments for the results consisting in the four human aims, which are expressed with reference to their own contents (svaviṣaya) [only]. [He suggests it] because through this [word dharma] also pleasing the Revered one (bhagavat) is communicated (uddeśya).
dharmapadena dhṛtisādhanavācinā caturvargaphalopāyāḥ ye svaviṣayāḥ vācyāḥ tais saha anlat svayaṃprayojanaṃ niṣkāmakarmāpy asūcayat bhagavatprītes tatroddeśyatvāt.
In other words, bhakti points beyond oneself, to God, whereas all other purposes remain confined to oneself.

The man who said, "Everything that can be invented has been invented," never wore a bra. When the head of the U.S. Patent Office said this in the late 1800s, he clearly had no idea of the future need for a bra that slims a woman's torso without causing age-revealing bulges. Amanda Horan Kennedy invented Sassybax bras for real bodies to smooth a woman's silhouette, eliminate the possibility of bra bulge and provide exceptional comfort as it slims the back and torso.
Sassybax was started with a simple mission in mind: "Rid the world of unsightly bra bulge." In the five years since they pioneered the upper body shapewear category, they have evolved to develop shapewear solutions for all of the body's problem areas. From "the world's most comfortable bra" to their butt-boosting-bottoms with their patented age-defying support system, Sassybax products have emerged as distinctive in innovation and quality.
What is a Sassybax?
Sassybax are revolutionary bras designed to meet the demand for a smooth silhouette under even the most body skimming clothing. Sassybax virtually eliminates bra bulge and gives the sleek appearance necessary for today's fashions. It is knit seamlessly 360° in the round and therefore, offers support front and back without anything to leave marks under your clothing or on your skin.
How does Sassybax support?
Sassybax revolutionary design which is knit seamlessly with our own microfiber nylon and spandex blend offers a uniquely supportive bra. The cup is designed with a knit in shaping and support feature that is unique to Sassybax.
How do I put it on if there's no opening at the back?
Sassybax is best stepped into like a bathing suit. No more make up and hair spoilers!
How do I choose my size?
Sassybax is not like bras we are used to wearing, it is sized very differently. Check the size chart. The sizing is usually determined by your cup and top size. Then see if the corresponding size in Sassybax will work for you. Sassybax cups stretch to accommodate 2 to even 3 different cup sizes within each size. If you are over a DD, we recommend the underwire versions.
How is Sassybax Torso Trim different from a camisole?
Sassybax is superior to any camisole on the market because it offers real bra support so there is no need to wear a bra AND a camisole. In addition, it gives you extra shaping of the entire torso, front and back. It is so perfect under today's sheer and body skimming fashions, you will want to own it in all the delicious colors.
Are Sassybax bras good for pregnancy and nursing?
Yes. It is the most comfortable bra for pregnancy because as your breasts become tender or larger, the bra stretches to fit you. This totally eliminates discomfort and pain caused by regular bras. For nursing, the cup is easily pulled down and back up because of the stretch in the knitted fabric. And it's so much cuter than a nursing bra! After the baby comes, the Torso Trim will help you feel trimmer and even help you get your figure back more readily.
Is Sassybax a good bra for after breast surgery?
Yes. It is recommended by some plastic surgeons.
Can I use prosthesis in my Sassybax?
Yes. Sassybax accommodates and holds prosthesis comfortably.

THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA: RESURRECTION Hits Shudder October 20th
10/15/2020 UPDATE: You can now watch the brand-new trailer for the Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Ressurrection, by clicking this link!
ORIGINAL STORY: Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, today announced a new Shudder Original, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Resurrection coming to the platform just in time for Halloween.
The innovative, two-hour film—part horror movie, part documentary, and part reality competition—marks the first spin-off of the groundbreaking The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula series and the Brothers’ first collaboration with the horror streaming service. The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Resurrection will premiere exclusively on Shudder in all territories on Tuesday, October 20th.
Hosted and judged by series creators The Boulet Brothers, Dragula: Resurrection’s Halloween-themed competition marks the first time that competitors from all three seasons of the show will return to compete against one another. The winner of the competition will be “resurrected” and will return to compete on the upcoming Dragula Season 4 as a main competitor, and will also walk away with a twenty thousand dollar cash prize.
“We’re so excited to be bringing this special to life, and even more excited that it’s happening just in time for Halloween. The format is something incredibly different and it truly presents drag in an innovative way that has never been seen on TV before. It’s easily the best content we have ever produced, and the highest level of drag that TV audiences have ever seen. We are so proud of the cast and crew who made this happen, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Shudder to produce it,” explained the Boulet Brothers.
“Over three seasons of their pioneering show, the Boulets have been a creative force helping to make horror more outrageous, fun and delightful. We’re excited to have The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Resurrection, on Shudder and can’t wait to share it with our members,” said Craig Engler, Shudder’s General Manager.
Dubbed one of the “15 best LGBTQ shows everyone needs to watch by Cosmopolitan and “required horror viewing” by Fangoria, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula has taken both queer and horror audiences by storm. Dragula: Resurrection presents drag in a unique feature-length format, blending both cinematic and documentary style content with reality competition.
Unlike past seasons of the series which brought competitors to Hollywood, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Resurrection will travel across the country for in-depth conversations with each artist where they live and work, observing their process as they create their unique looks. The competitors will be challenged to conceptualize and design three original Halloween-themed looks and present them in performances to be filmed at haunting and horrifying real-world locations including an abandoned Georgia train station and a haunted mansion in the woods of North Carolina. Dragula: Resurrection will also feature music from trans pop icon Kim Petras and gay country music star Orville Peck.
The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Resurrection is written, produced and co-directed by the Boulet Brothers with Executive Producer David Sigurani and director Nathan Noyes.
AMC Networks’ Shudder is a premium streaming video service, super-serving members with the best selection in genre entertainment, covering horror, thrillers and the supernatural. Shudder’s expanding library of film, TV series, and originals is available on most streaming devices in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. For a 7-day, risk-free trial, visit www.shudder.com.

I will answer this question.
Due to the active hostilities in these areas like Homs, north Idlib, and Daraa, some of the people who lived in those areas had to be displaced to neighbouring countries. More than four million people are located inside Turkey, 1.5 million in Jordan, and also some of them went to Europe to ask for refugee protection and asylum. Some of them also came here to Canada as refugees. Those are some of the people who have been displaced and run away from death. Some people run from death to death—that's how I want to say it. They leave a dangerous zone and go into another dangerous zone. They run for their lives from an area of conflict and then they go to another area in order to face their end there.
Displacement operations have been tackled earlier by one of my colleagues. People have been forced to leave their houses and then move to different areas within the same countries. However, there is no state protection for those people and consequently they have been targeted. A lot of people have been killed and injured. They are targeted with different types of weapons.
Some people have been displaced outside Syria as refugees and some people have lost their house within Syria. People are here and there.

On September 6, 2019, OPPO’s latest Reno2Z made its Indian debut. This latest iteration of OPPO’s popular Reno series will redraw the boundaries of users’ creativity, as it comes packed with photography-enhancing features, like a quad-camera setup and outstanding Hybrid Image Stabilization technology, while also allowing users to enjoy ultra-dark night shots and super-stable video shooting on the go. OPPO’s Reno2 series provides powerful software and hardware, like Ultra Steady Mode, SOLOOP video editor, dual Wi-Fi and more.
Ultra Dark Mode
The Reno2Z’s Ultra Dark Mode covers an entire range of different night scenes thanks to its powerful NPU and the fine-tuned algorithms of ColorOS 6.1. When the brightness is less than 5 lux, the OS will automatically activate Ultra Dark mode, which boosts the camera’s photosensitivity far beyond that of a naked eye, allowing you to reveal objects in the night with the use of a built-in NPU that quickens picture processing. Users can now capture stunning scenes like fireflies at night and candlelit dinners.
Ultra Steady Mode, enabling dynamic shooting with minimal shake
OPPO’s industry-leading Ultra Steady Mode ups the stability of videos, enabling users to capture smooth, steady videos while running, skiing, skateboarding, cycling, and more. It also boasts Electronic Image Stabilization and Optical Image Stabilization, which compensate users’ shaky shots more accurately. Check out this comparison video to see its improved stability over the previous Reno series.
SOLOOP video editor, creating an eye-catching video with ease
Reno2 series features an independent video editing APP, SOLOOP, which creates a seamless experience covering video shooting, editing, and sharing. With SOLOOP, users can create videos with one tap and then share them on their favorite social media platforms. It can identify and categorize scenarios using intelligent sorting, while also providing various templates with different music and filters.
Dual Wi-Fi for stable connections
Unlike most dual Wi-Fi functions on the market, which only support dual-channel connections (2.4GHz and 5GHz), the ColorOS 6.1 dual Wi-Fi can connect to two Wi-Fi simultaneously. Dual Wi-Fi refers to the ability to connect two Wi-Fi networks at the same time using the capability of the DBS/DBDC chip, making surfing the web faster and smoother. This can help improve the overall speed and enable seamless transitions between different Wi-Fi networks.
Tougher Security, for more peace-of-mind
Reno2’s ColorOS 6.1 better protects user data, allowing users to use a third-party App without providing their personal information like call history, contacts and more. ColorOS 6.1’s exclusive “Hide Apps” function can help users to hide App icons for apps that are set as encrypted, avoiding any potentially embarrassing leaks of sensitive personal information.
Thanks to powerful hardware and software like Ultra Dark and Ultra Steady Modes, SLOOP video editor, Dual Wi-Fi, and toughened security, the Reno2’s ColorOS 6.1 delivers an outstanding user experience that’s smarter, slicker and safer. Check out https://www.oppo.com/in/smartphone-reno2/for more information.

We're pleased to announce the release of Buildah version 1.4 which is now available from GitHub for any Linux distro. We are shipping this release on Fedora, RHEL 7, CentOS, openSUSE and Ubuntu in the near future.
The Buildah project has continued to grow over the past several
weeks, welcoming several new contributors to the mix. The highlights of
this release are fixes for "rootless" users, improvements in symbolic
link and chroot handling in Dockerfiles, the addition of a
pull command, better error messaging for OCI containers and
several other enhancements and bug fixes.
Issues with a rootless user cleaned up.
Symbolic links handling for ADD and COPY
If a symbolic link was used as part of an ADD or COPY command in a Dockerfile, the link itself and not the underlying file(s) were copied. This has been corrected so that the files pointed to by the symbolic link are now copied.
COPY --chown in a Dockerfile
The COPY command with the --chown parameter in a Dockerfile is now processed correctly.
The pull command has been created.
buildah pull command has been created. It works like
from command however it only pulls the image and does
not build a container like the
from command does.
Non-OCI command handling in a Dockerfile
If a command that is not OCI compliant is encountered when building an OCI formatted container image, better error messages are now displayed. If a non-OCI formatted container image is desired, the '--format=docker' option should be passed to the bud command.
The Buildah project has moved from projectatomic/buildah to containers/buildah in GitHub.com. Come check out our new home!
buildah.io website created!
Not really tied to this release, but shortly before this release the buildah.io website was created. There you can find blogs, release announcements, talks and more. Go check it out if you haven't already!
rmi --pruneoption no longer accepts an ImageID .
pushcommand. If empty, the source image parameter is reused for the destination.
budcommand when pulling and naming the image.
pushcommand now shows the image digest after it succeeds.
renamecommand verifies that the container name is not already in use.
containerscommand no longer exits early when the --json option is used.
buildah bud --helpusage output.
runcommand processing now bind mounts an empty directory for masking when using chroot.
If you haven’t yet, install Buildah from one of the Linux repos or GitHub and give it a spin. We’re betting you'll find it’s an easy and quick way to build containers in your environment without a daemon being involved!
For those of you who contributed to this release, thank you very much for your contributions! If you haven't joined our community yet, don't wait any longer! Come join us in GitHub, where Open Source communities live.

The Role of School Personnel: Understanding the Law
Understanding the Law as It Relates to Students with OCD
School personnel are likely to be familiar with the federal laws that protect a child’s right to a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment:
- Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504)
- The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA).
But when a student has OCD, it’s not always clear how to ensure that the student receives the best education. What’s important is that school personnel, the parents, the therapist (when the student is receiving treatment) and the student, as appropriate, are all working together to make sure that the student gets the best education possible. Everyone should be on the same side -- the student’s side.
The information in several sections of the OCD Education Station web site provides background on OCD, the effect of OCD on learning, social, behavioral and emotional development, how to recognize OCD (or possible OCD) and how to communicate effectively with parents. Additionally, best practices in intervention (including accommodations and support strategies) are presented to give school personnel practical suggestions that can help them manage OCD in the school setting.
The ideas and specific tactics outlined help many educators, administrators and school staff effectively work with students who have OCD, and today countless students currently benefit from their use. But school personnel, parents, or both may want or need to develop a more structured approach to managing a student who has OCD to maximize his or her academic, social, behavioral and emotional development. That’s when considering the laws pertaining to a student's civil rights, the provision of special education and related services, and the safeguarding of privacy is a good course of action.
Making the Best Choices for the Student Who Has OCD
School personnel can play a critical role in helping a student with OCD get the education he or she needs in the least complicated manner. Schools do not have a uniform approach to working with students who have OCD. The way a student with OCD is treated -- and the education he or she receives -- depends on school personnel’s knowledge about OCD and experience in working with students who have the disorder. It can also depend on school personnel’s willingness to find a way to help and, of course, individual school and school district policies.
Some students with OCD need easy-to-implement accommodations (such as many of those detailed on this web site) that can be put in place without additional cost or extra time for existing personnel. Individual schools differ on their approaches to making even simple accommodations but, in certain cases, students with OCD may receive simple accommodations and supports without going through the more formal processes associated with Section 504 and IDEA. It is important to note, however, that many parents prefer having even simple accommodations documented in writing under Section 504, rather than an informal verbal agreement with a teacher or other school staff member. Circumstances change; the teacher with whom a verbal agreement about accommodations was made, for example, may leave the school. A plan developed under Section 504 (504 plan) documents, in writing, decisions that have been made regarding a student's services.
Having a 504 plan in place can also be important because accommodations and supports may be needed during periods of heightened OCD symptoms (when symptoms wax) but not at other times (when symptoms wane). Equally important, if a student is seeking eligibility for accommodations for college entrance exams, during the college years, or later in life, the presence of a history of prior formal recognition of the disability is important documentation of the disability and need for accommodations. By contrast, informal accommodations are less useful as documentation later on. Moreover, Section 504 plans may contain important procedures for managing learning, behavior or medical problems that sometimes occur when a student has OCD. For example, procedures for managing a student who has an OCD-related outburst or dispensing emergency medications may be documented in a 504 plan.
The essential purpose of Section 504 is to "level the playing field" for children and adolescents with disabilities. In other words, Section 504 ensures that reasonable accommodations and supports be provided to students with disabilities so they can access educational opportunities and learn in a manner similar to their peers. Importantly, support strategies may be needed only temporarily, and should be discontinued as the student recovers from OCD and is able to overcome his or her obsessions and compulsions.
In many cases, Section 504 is the appropriate vehicle for providing students necessary accommodations and supports. In other cases, special education and related services under IDEA will be necessary for students with OCD who have more serious needs. The most important objective is to meet the individual needs of the student and provide the best opportunity for academic, social, behavioral and emotional success. The information below outlines some of the differences between Section 504 and IDEA.
Differences between Section 504 and IDEA
Many students with OCD -- frequently those with milder cases -- are served under Section 504. Section 504 is a civil rights law which provides that “no otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States shall be excluded from, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under” programs that receive federal funding. This includes any education agency (e.g., schools) if even a single of its activities or programs receives federal funding. Thus, all qualified children with disabilities within a school district are entitled to a free, appropriate education.
Under Section 504, a person qualifies as having a disability if he or she (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the person's major life activities; (2) has a record of such an impairment; or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment. Many different disabilities are recognized under Section 504, including illnesses such as asthma and diabetes. Although not specifically listed in Section 504, OCD qualifies as a disability under this law. When a health professional has made a diagnosis of OCD, formal documentation of the diagnosis will be required by school officials. Even without a formal diagnosis, however, a student's school performance may be such that he or she is regarded as having an impairment.
To determine whether a student's OCD substantially limits one or major life activities (including learning and/or behavior), a team of school staff members must evaluate information from a variety of different sources such as teacher reports, information from parents, the student's grades, school-administered tests, etc. Although parents must be notified about this evaluation, their consent is not required.
Once it has been established that a student with OCD qualifies for services under Section 504, a plan must be written that is designed to meet his or her individual needs to the same extent that the needs of students without disabilities are met. Although interventions are usually implemented in the general education classroom, an "appropriate" education under Section 504 may also include regular or special education and related services. If desired, the Individualized Education Program (IEP) required under IDEA (see below) may be used for the Section 504 written plan. A Section 504 plan will enable school personnel to have procedures in place to manage learning, social, behavioral or emotional problems that may occur when a student has OCD. These procedures may include some of the accommodations and support strategies listed on this web site.
Many students with OCD, particularly those with more severe cases of OCD, are served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, the federal law governing special education and related services in the United States. Under IDEA, a student must be between the ages of 3 and 21 (or as defined by state law) and meet the definition of either a preschool child with a disability or one or more of 13 disability categories listed under IDEA (e.g., Learning Disability, Emotional Disturbance or Other Health Impairment). In addition, the disability must have an adverse effect on the student's learning, social and emotional functioning, life skills and/or behavior at school.
In the past, students with OCD have been identified under the category of “Emotional Disturbance” and many of these students continue to be classified under this category today. However, most OCD experts recommend that a child or teen who has OCD be classified under the “Other Health Impairment” (OHI) label. This is because OCD is neurobiological in nature rather than emotional. Tourette Syndrome and AD/HD, both of which also have a neurobiological basis, are already included under the OHI category of IDEA.
Eligibility for special education services under IDEA is based on a comprehensive evaluation that assesses the student in all areas related to the suspected disability. After the evaluation is complete, a multidisciplinary team that includes parents, teachers, and others (as set forth in IDEA) convenes. If it is determined that the student has a disability that adversely affects his or her education, the student becomes eligible for special education and related services. It is important to note that, if a student is found to be eligible for services under IDEA, he or she is still protected under Section 504. Also, if a student is not found to be eligible for services under IDEA, he or she may still qualify for Section 504.
IDEA mandates that, after the evaluation, the team develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for eligible students (the law specifies who participates in the IEP development and specifically includes the parents of the child). The IEP is an extremely detailed document that serves as a blueprint for how the child is to be educated. A very important stipulation of IDEA is that children with disabilities be educated in the “least restrictive environment” (i.e., settings with nondisabled peers) to the greatest extent possible. If the child cannot participate with nondisabled children in the regular classroom for any part of the school day -- even with accommodations and supports -- an explanation must be provided in the IEP.
The results of some exploratory research conducted in the state of Illinois indicated that the large majority of students with a primary diagnosis of OCD served under IDEA were included in regular classrooms, alone or in combination with resource services or part-time special classes. This research suggested that the IDEA provision of the least restrictive environment was a guiding principle in decisions related to educational placement for students with OCD.
IDEA also specifies procedures for monitoring special education services, including annual reviews of a student's progress toward his or her IEP goals, and a three-year reevaluation of the special education services provided to the student. In addition, it provides numerous safeguards for protecting the rights of children with disabilities and their parents.
An important component of IDEA: Functional Behavioral Assessment and Positive Behavior Intervention Plans
The Individuals with Disabilities Act of 1997 -- the predecessor to IDEA 2004 -- introduced a number of new concepts that are also included in IDEA 2004. Two of these concepts were crucial to students experiencing behavioral difficulties, including students with OCD: (1) positive behavior support, and (2) functional behavioral assessment. One instance in which IDEA '97 refers to these concepts relates to suspending a student with a disability. Specifically, IDEA '97 states that, within 10 school days of a decision to change the placement of a student with a disability due to a violation of a code of student conduct, school officials must hold a "manifestation determination" -- a meeting to determine whether the behavioral offense was related to a student's disability or poor implementation of the IEP. If it is determined that the behavior was related to the disability or poor implementation of the IEP, a functional behavioral assessment, or FBA, must be conducted (if one has not been conducted previously).
The purpose of an FBA is to determine why a student engages in challenging behaviors by examining situations and events in the current environment that trigger those behaviors (antecedents) and/or support them (consequences). The underlying assumption of functional behavioral assessment is that challenging behavior occurs because it produces an outcome or serves a function (e.g., student obtains something positive, escapes or avoids something aversive, obtains sensory input).
After a student's behavior is assessed, the results of the FBA are used to design and implement a positive behavior intervention plan (PBIP) that addresses the function of the behavior. If a behavior plan was already in place, it must be reviewed and modified, as necessary, to address the behavior of concern (i.e., violation of student code of conduct).
IDEA '97 also included another instance in which a functional behavioral assessment and corresponding behavior intervention plan are required. According to IDEA '97, whenever a child's behavior impedes his or her own learning or that of others, school personnel need to consider using positive behavior interventions, supports, and other strategies to address that behavior. Thus, when a student's problem behavior does not respond to standard, effective practices that are used with all students, or when school personnel cannot provide data to explain why the inappropriate behavior is occurring, IDEA '97 requires that a functional behavioral assessment be conducted and a corresponding behavior intervention plan developed. Of note is that FBAs and PBIPs are appropriate not only for students with disabilities but also for students with behavioral problems who do not have disabilities, or students not already receiving special education services under IDEA.
The IDEA '97 requirement that schools incorporate functional behavioral assessment and positive behavior intervention plans to address the problem behaviors of students with disabilities was crucial for students with OCD. Traditionally, positive and negatives consequences have been used as a first-line intervention to "fix" problematic behavior -- the responsibility for change lies within the child. (Please refer to "An Important Note About Using Traditional Behavioral Behavior Modification Principles" under the "Healthful Support Strategies" segment of the OCD Education Station for important information about using behavior modification with students who have OCD.) By contrast, FBAs and PBIPs place emphasis upon first determining why students with disabilities engage in certain behaviors. A plan then can be developed to address why the behavior is occurring and provide the necessary behavioral supports and interventions that will lead to acceptable behavior -- the responsibility for change lies within the educational system. With this approach, school personnel can be proactive by identifying and modifying factors (whenever possible) that may contribute to problematic behavior before it occurs, rather than reactive by applying consequences after the problem behavior occurs.
Because environmental factors frequently trigger or increase the frequency of OCD-related behaviors, an FBA may provide school personnel important information for designing accommodations, supports, and behavioral interventions to address or prevent challenging behaviors. It is highly recommended that individuals doing FBAs and PBIPs for students with OCD obtain a copy of A Workbook for Conducting a Functional Behavioral Assessment and Writing a Positive Behavior Intervention Plan for a Student with Tourette Syndrome written by Susan Conners and Kathy Giordano (2005), available for a nominal fee here. This workbook is designed specifically for students with neurobiological disorders such as Tourette Syndrome, OCD, AD/HD, and learning disabilities, and contains some modifications to the traditional FBA process.
Summary of 504 vs. IDEA
Section 504 provides a quicker and more flexible means for supporting students with OCD. Section 504 may also be considered by parents who do not want their child to be singled out as “different” or labeled as needing special education. Students sometimes fear social alienation, as well, if it becomes evident to others that they need special education and related services. However, IDEA provides for more rights and safeguards for students with OCD and their parents than Section 504. Therefore, if a student is struggling with academic, social, behavioral and/or emotional problems because of OCD, obtaining special education and related services for the student under IDEA may be preferable.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1976
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. It applies to all schools that receive funds under a program of the U.S. Department of Education.
FERPA gives parents certain rights, which transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level (known as an "eligible student"). Following are those rights:
(1) Parents and eligible students have the right to inspect and review the student's educational records. School personnel are required to explain or help parents and eligible students understand what is included or noted in the records.
(2) Parents and eligible students have the right to request that a school amend records they believe are inaccurate or misleading. If the school disagrees, a hearing is held. If, after the hearing, the school still decides not to correct the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to include a statement with the record explaining his or her view about the contested information.
(3) Parents and eligible students must provide written permission for the release of any information from a student's education record, except under certain conditions (e.g., releasing information to a school to which a student is transferring, accrediting organizations, and school officials with a legitimate educational interest). In addition, when requesting release of the records, the school must tell parents and eligible students which records are involved, why they have been requested, and who will receive them.

eIF4A1 is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase whose overexpression and activity have been tightly linked to oncogenesis in a number of malignancies. An understanding of the complex kinetics and conformational changes of this translational enzyme is necessary to map out all targetable binding sites and develop novel, chemically tractable inhibitors. We herein present a comprehensive quantitative analysis of eIF4A1 conformational changes using protein-ligand docking, homology modeling, and extended molecular dynamics simulations. Through this, we report the discovery of a novel, biochemically active phenyl-piperazine pharmacophore, which is predicted to target the ATP-binding site and may serve as the starting point for medicinal chemistry optimization efforts. This is the first such report of an ATP-competitive inhibitor for eiF4A1, which is predicted to bind in the nucleotide cleft. Our novel interdisciplinary pipeline serves as a framework for future drug discovery efforts for targeting eiF4A1 and other proteins with complex kinetics.

After getting mostly skunked last week while trout fishing at Lake Shawnee, I was determined to come back this week and get a nice one.
I picked up some Berkeley PowerBait Floating Mice Tails and a couple of Rooster Tails and headed down to the south side of the lake to see if a change in scenery would improve my odds. Little did I know that everyone and their dog would be out at the lake that day, and when some kids started throwing rocks in the water at my first spot, I decided it was time for a move. I don’t know how much it affects the fish bite, but it can’t help.
I moved up and down the west side of the lake looking for a good spot. Eventually, I settled again on the heated dock. I fished a deep worm below a big school of shad hoping to get a bite from a crappie or catfish, while I drifted a Mouse Tail about a foot and a half under a crappie float on a small jighead. A lot of people have questions about how to rig a Mouse Tail, and the general consensus I find is that you just hook it through the PowerBait ball connected to the long rubbery tail and use it however you want to fish — floating, drop shot, under a bobber, etc.
The shad were all over the place, and I could sit there and watch them pop up at the surface inside the dock. I had a couple hits on my worm early, but when I went to set the hook I got snagged up on the structure below the dock.
My light crappie bobber then started to bounce as another angler, Richard Cooley, came in. It turns out that Richard, who was fishing for crappie, knows my dad and my uncle Dan. Dad says he used to race street stocks and hobby stocks against him at Topeka Raceway, Junction City Raceway and a couple other spots, and they bowled together in a league years ago.
As the float with the Mouse Tail kept bobbing, I figured it was a shad or small bluegill that was grabbing the tail. However, it eventually went all the way under for several seconds. I set the hook and was shocked when my rod bent in double, and soon I saw the giant side slab of a big, beautiful female rainbow trout.
It wasn’t quite as long as the one that got away earlier in the year at the heated dock — though it was just under the 20-inch Kansas Master Angler Award size at 19.5 inches — but it had incredible girth. The side of the trout was about the size of my hand.
As I got down on my belly with a grabber claw that I had purchased after the last trout got away, it took me several minutes just to get the trout corralled. Every time it got close to the side of the dock, it would slam its powerful tail and take off on a run again. Richard offered me a net, but I let the trout wear herself out and finally grabbed it by the mouth.
I took her to my Grandma Rouse’s house to clean outside with my electric fillet knife and was shocked by all the eggs she had inside her when I cut off the first fillet.
I thought she might be pregnant because of her girth and a protrusion near her anal fin, but this confirmed it. There were literally hundreds of eggs, if not more. I got a Ziplock baggie and put them in there to use as bait later — they’re very similar to salmon eggs, which are sold in small jars as trout bait.
If it were a natural-born fish in Lake Shawnee, I likely would have released her back into the water to lay her eggs, but the rainbow trout are stocked in the fall and spring and are said to mostly die off in the summer, so I wasn’t too worried about her offspring being released.
I got two giant fillets out of her, each about the size of a side of salmon like you’d see at a nice restaurant.
As a side note, spoonbill (also known as paddlefish) snagging season began Thursday and will continue until May 15, and trout anglers have until April 15 to catch their haul of rainbow trout, though the state has been known to allow all anglers to keep trout after the season since they die out anyway.
The youth spring turkey season begins April 1 and runs through April 17. Adult hunters can take turkeys with bow and arrow beginning April 9, and the regular spring turkey season (firearm/archery) runs April 18 through May 31.
I look forward to seeing a bunch of turkey photos from my readers this spring, as well as fishing photos. Speaking of which, Patricia Mellard sent a couple of photos she snapped of a nice bass she caught in a pond near Wakarusa on March 3.
She said she was using a 3-inch smelt Berkley grub — her go-to bait.
Congrats on the nice fish, and I look forward to seeing more fishing photos from readers as the season progresses.
Dale Hossfeld, of Topeka, also sent a bunch of interesting trail camera videos from the woods near his home. Included in the videos were coyotes, a raccoon and a skunk getting in a fight and several bobcat videos. They will be posted on the online version of this story.

Go ahead and say Uranus. Feel free to giggle if you like. I know, I know, it sounds like a dirty word. So what is the proper pronunciation of Uranus. Is there a way to talk about it without having school kids giggle.
The standard way to pronounce Uranus among astronomers is to put the emphasis on the first syllable “ur” and then say the second part “unus”. This is the standard literary pronunciation. The more common way people have pronounced it is u-ra-nus, with the “ra” sounded like “ray”.
The truth is that all the different ways of pronouncing Uranus are perfectly fine, even the way that sounds a little dirty.
We have recorded an episode of Astronomy Cast just about Uranus (we even talk about how to pronounce it). You can access it here: Episode 62: Uranus.

This article originally appeared in the September 2016 issue of ELLE.
Whether it's by trying a new lipstick or undergoing a major overhaul, there's nothing like tweaking one's appearance to open new horizons—both in body and mind. This month, we celebrate beauty transformations great and small: those that bring us closer to who we want to be, and those that simply deliver a (very worthwhile) flash of joy
There are beautifully unexpected ways in which psychologists say people can grow. We usually think that, after a certain point, style, taste, wit, exercise patterns, political outlook, character, and talent are pretty well fixed. And that it will take nothing short of a lightning bolt, heaps of hard work, or a radical head-to-toe makeover (if not a brain transplant) to move the needle meaningfully in any of these domains. Yet studies have repeatedly found that people who dream of being different than they are today and begin by taking just one or two small steps off their beaten paths are more likely to achieve their goals than grand planners who try to change a slew of habits at once—and promptly burn out, having underestimated the brute challenge of sustaining self-control.
No one has seriously explored the power of micro-adjustments to hair and beauty routines to spur and support personal transformation, but the National Institutes of Health really ought to sponsor some bold initiatives here—if only to catch science up with what so many women already know in their bones. Because what woman hasn't—drawing on a clean, geometrical sweep at the outer edge of her lashes with a brand-new, pitch-black liquid eyeliner—felt almost instantly better equipped to tackle a new work project, or chat up a man she's been eager to meet? Or—after massaging a deliciously silky new rose-scented night cream across her cheeks and brow—veered from her usual direct-to-bed schlep to glide through a few gentle unwinding poses on her yoga mat, moves that help her sleep better than she has in ages and quickly become a healthful pre-bed habit that wouldn't even have occurred to her without the night cream's rosy nudge in the direction of self-care?
Right now, beauty ideals and values feel freer than they have in years. The tyrannical mission of chasing perfection—via the literal airbrushing of makeup onto body and face and other wearying procedures—is losing steam. There's a spirit of happy new possibility afoot; we're fascinated with women—like Rihanna, with her inimitable gift for finding looks that are by turns punky, sweet, and stone-cold sexy—for whom decisively changing hair and makeup is a way of signaling their own strong desire to transform. "One of the great things about being a woman is that we can use our appearance to project the woman we want to be," designer Diane von Furstenberg says. "A turning point—a breakup, a new job—is a perfect moment to ascertain and take charge with a new haircut, a hair-color change, a new dress, new shoes, and definitely a new attitude. I totally believe in this."
This fall, there's an unusually eclectic array of fresh beauty looks and products practically begging to be taken up as a means of personal transformation. Maybe a recent college grad accustomed to heaping her hair in a messy topknot will morph gracefully into the role of a young professional by wearing a low-slung, sophisticated ponytail, like those seen on several fall runways—parting her hair to the side, smoothing it back, and binding it with a black-ribbon bow (and, as an added bonus of this crisply focused look, discovering her own ability to focus has increased by approximately 46 percent). And another woman, wanting to bring forth an unsung sparkly element of her personality, will press a light sprinkling of glitter onto her eyelids, creating her own subtly shimmery version of the captivatingly pretty disco-diva look seen on so many catwalks.
Sometimes, though, even the boldest aesthetic departures don't just move the needle but bring us home. From age 12 on, celebrity stylist Kate Young, whose clients include Michelle Williams and Selena Gomez, yearned to dye her brunette hair platinum, like that of her two aesthetic lodestars, Madonna and Marilyn. And when she finally found a colorist confident enough to help her make the switch, the immediate effect, she says, "was to feel more like myself. I didn't think about it intellectually. It was a purely visual recognition: This is the way it should be. This is the right way to look."
Young says she'll keep her hair bright-white blond for the rest of her life. But even if the changes women make to their looks end up being so subtle that they register with no one but themselves—or they eventually go back to hairstyles and lipstick shades that make them feel externally better aligned with parts of themselves that, it turns out, they really have no desire to change—science suggests they've still transformed, because any new sensation or experience leaves a lasting imprint somewhere in the brain. So, it seems, there's a jazzlike way in which playing up and down the scales with beauty—mixing, sampling, finding new looks and products that blow our minds and ditching the rest—really can help us better understand who we truly are and are meant to be. Each little bit of beauty experimentation adds up. And each little bit of experimentation tells us something new about ourselves.

Jamaica Food & Drink Festival 2019 will mean many things to many people but one thing most agree on is that there are some dishes that will remain unforgettable. One such dish comes from Marcia Charlebois whose Weeping Tiger Beef with Seaweed Rice left me weeping.
Not a fan of beef on the regular, this dish has been the best morsel of tender, flavour induced sliver of red meat I have had in a long time. The Seaweed rice had the right balance of salt, starch and green roughage you needed in a dish that almost felt like a sinful indulgence.
Not to be outdone on being unique, the Mystic Thai Restaurant offered a hot creamy serving of Panang Lobster Curry with Jasmine Rice topped with crushed Roasted Peanuts.
Nothing else was needed on your plate except a fork to dig in, as the dish was so much more than a run of the mill curry. This dish is one that would bring back memories of your grandmother if you grew up with her spending hours in the kitchen preparing it with love for her family. Yes, it was that good and memorable.
The Bar stood out pleasantly – from its attentive staff to multiple offers of Johnnie Walker products. Johnnie Walker Gold Reserve, Johnnie Walker Limited Edition White Walker & Johnnie Walker Black, all available as mixed drinks – however you liked it!
This year’s JFDF Choptix although featuring fewer options than years before, gave the perfect platform for many to shine and some to learn from their shortcomings on this year’s presentation.
With décor and music done right, this was the perfect example of a lyme. It had the feeling of being out with old friends enjoying good food and a good ambience.
My one suggestion for next year is ensuring someone offers soup or broth of some sort. It would be a nice addition before patrons start the rounds to sample food from all the booths. Until next year… Chopstix 2019 was a blast!

This post is a follow up to my post on customizing language settings in a Microsoft Endpoint Manager task sequence using UI++ and a custom unattend.xml file. I will continue this series in a third post that discusses the native functionality in MEMCM 1910 and later.
In a post a few weeks ago I discussed my process for managing languages in a Microsoft Endpoint Manager task sequence. That post went in depth on using UI++ and a custom unattend.xml file to allow a technician to select a primary language and alternate keyboard layout during OS deployment. That process requires having a Windows image that already has language packs and features on demand injected. I briefly discussed my process for creating a WIM file.
That post mentioned that I initially created a WIM file with WimWitch from Donna Ryan (@theNotoriousDRR). I would create the image, run my own script to inject the languages and features on demand, and then update the WIM using WimWitch. At that point WimWitch did not support language pack injection. Donna had mentioned that language injection support was coming – but I didn’t know when it would be available. Shortly after posting my last post she released the 1.4 beta release of WimWitch which previewed the language pack injection! WimWitch version 1.4.1 is now available. The language support is excellent!
I was originally going to write about my own script, but Donna hit this process out of the park. With each new version, WimWitch adds amazing new features that could only be designed by someone who is familiar with MEMCM, the imaging process, and has an excellent eye for detail. If you aren’t already using WimWitch, take the time to explore all of the features that are currently available – it’s a great tool and new features are being added regularly!
At a high-level language injection is a fairly simple process, but there are a few steps involved and some pitfalls to be aware of:
1. Gather your baseline WIM and source content for language packs, features on demand, and local experience packs.
3. Inject language packs
5. Apply updates to the WIM
6. Copy the WIM to my source folder and update content on my distribution point
This doesn’t appear to be that involved of a process, but if you don’t pay attention it can be difficult to manage. This is where WimWitch shines. I can create source media, inject language packs, and apply updates in a few simple steps. WimWitch also lets you save a configuration file – a simple step that makes repeating the process and applying monthly updates a breeze!
Obviously the most important part of this whole process is downloading WimWitch. You can find detailed instructions on downloading, installing, and operating WimWitch on SCConfigMgr.com.
WimWitch is available from the PowerShell gallery. You can download it from an administrative PowerShell window using the following command:
save-script -name wimwitch -path [C:\YourDirectory\] -force
When you run WimWitch.ps1 the script will check to see if it has been installed. On subsequent uses it will do a version check and update itself if a newer version is available. If you plan on installing updates I recommend going to the “Update Store” tab and clicking Install/Update. This will check for updates to the OS Deploy module that is used for downloading updates.
The Good Stuff:
After you have downloaded and updated WimWitch, you are ready to dive into the process.
1. You will need to download the Windows 10 media, language packs, and features on demand from the Volume Licensing Service Center. As mentioned above, you need to download the correct language pack media for your Windows version (there’s one iso for both x64 and x86).
2. Mount the language pack and FOD media that you plan on using (do not mount the Windows ISO). There are two separate ISOs for the Features on Demand, but in most cases all of the FODs you will need are on the first ISO.
3. Import Wim + .Net tab – When you are creating a new WIM file the first step is to create a Wim file from source media. Click the select button and browse to your Windows 10 media. Check the box to import .Net media and your install.wim file. Enter a name and click Import. This is a good time to mention that if you keep the Powershell window visible in the background you can see a status of what WimWitch is doing. In this case we can see the steps being done when create a WIM.
4. Source WIM tab – The Source WIM tab is where the magic begins. Click the select button and browse to the WIM file you created above. When you select and image a window will appear. Select the index you want available in your WIM. In this case I am using the Windows 10 Professional Index.
After selecting the Index, the information for the selected index will appear in the window:
5. Import LP + FOD tab – This tab is where we tell WimWitch where to find our source content. Use the drop downs to select the options you want to import. In this case we want to import language packs from our Language pack ISO. The language packs are stored in [x64 or x86]\langpacks\ in the source media.
A selection box will appear. Select the languages you want to inject and click Ok.
The languages you selected will appear in the list box. Click Import to Import your language packs.
6. Import Features on Demand – Features on Demand work similar to language packs, but there is one slight difference. Select the Features on Demand option and click select to browse to your source media. In this case you are selecting the root of the ISO.
With the Language Packs you were given the option to select which languages you want to import. Because of the differences media that method isn’t as practical for Features on Demand. All the available FODs will be added to the list box. Click Import to Import the files.
7. Customization tab – The customizations tab is used to tell WimWitch exactly which customizations to apply to a Wim in this step. You will see in a later step how I use this differently when creating a WIM versus when I am updating the media. Check the boxes for the customizations you want to make. In this case I want to inject .Net, Language Packs, and FODs in my baseline media.
Click Select to select the language packs you want to import. You will see the language packs you previously selected available here:
Click Select for the FODs. Here you will see all of the FODs from the media available. You can filter by using the Filter box at the top of the screen. If you have multiple languages you need to import this can be done in multiple steps. Each time you select features it adds to the list:
After setting all of your customizations, you are ready to inject them into your WIM.
8. Save/Load tab – At this point we are ready to save our baseline configuration. This tutorial focuses specifically on languages and features on demand, so I skipped over some other options like injecting drivers, removing Windows apps (seriously a great feature!) and injecting an Autopilot json file. I create a separate configuration file for each of my baseline WIMs. This allows me to create baseline media quickly in the future.
Enter a name for the configuration file and click Save. It will save the configuration in the WimWitch\Configs folder.
9. Alright Number One – Make it so – We’ve given WimWitch a bunch of stuff to do, now it’s time to let her do what she does best! Enter a file name and select a destination path for your Wim. This tab also includes several text boxes that tell us what customizations we have set. When you are ready to add the customizations to your WIM click the Make It So button.
If we watch the status window we can see the progress that WimWitch is making.
After all customizations have been made and the Wim has been dismounted, we can see the media is available in the Completed WIMs folder. There is also a verbose log file that is created in this folder.
10. Now that we have created our baseline media, we can apply updates to the image. The first step when applying updates is to make sure they have been downloaded. Go to the Update Store tab, select Windows 10 and the OS version you want to update and click Download. In the PowerShell windows we can see the status of the update process, including checking for updates from OS Deploy.
11. Source WIM – We want to make sure we update the WIM file that we just created and injected our language packs and FODs in. Go to the Source WIM tab and change the path to our new file. The Languages text box shows the languages we just injected into the WIM.
12. Customizations tab (part two!) – We have already injected our language packs, FODs, and .Net binaries in our image. Remove the checks for those items. We want to update the WIM on this pass, so we will check that box.
13. Return to the Save/Load tab and save the new customizations. We will be able to use this customization for patching all our images in the future. Provided all the baselines are configured the same you should only need to save one configuration file for updating all your WIM files.
14. After saving your configuration file, return to the Make It So tab. Confirm your customizations are correct and click Make it So to apply updates to the image.
15. WimWitch will mount the image, apply updates, and then dismount the image. The PowerShell window lets us watch the status.
16. Once the updates have been completed, we can see both WIM files in the Completed WIMs folder. You can now use the WIM file to add an image in Microsoft Endpoint Manager. If you are updating an existing image copy the content to the source folder and update your distribution points.

What are the secrets to making a small space feel like more like home (and less like a sardine can)? It can be done – and it’s easier today than ever before, thanks to stores like Ikea with their smartly-designed furniture pieces. But even if all you have is non-Swedish furniture, there are plenty of tricks that can make your tiny apartment or home feel bigger.
First off, get your furniture to do double duty as much as possible. For example, an ottoman that doubles as a chair (and even triples as a coffee table…or quadruples — if that’s a word! — as storage). Or a bookcase that also holds wine bottles and baskets of table linens in addition to books. (Photo: Apartment Therapy)
Look up – and use vertical space. Choose bookcases or shelves that run all the way to the ceiling to squeeze every inch of useful space out of your walls. Place mementos and collectibles on floating shelves placed near the ceiling. Use a hanging lamps to brighten a dark corner without taking floor space or cluttering a tabletop.
And speaking of clutter…Banish clutter! There’s simply no room – literally – for clutter in your small space. Get the mail, read the mail, recycle the mail. Period. Don’t let papers stack up on surfaces around your home. (Photo: Organized Home)
Decide your priorities before you design the space. What’s important to you? What do you really need in your life? Maybe a desk is more important than a table. Room to entertain could be more important than a huge bed. Think realistically about your life and design accordingly.
Check yourself (and edit your stuff). When your space is severely limited, you simply cannot hold on to things. At least once per year (and even better, twice per year), take stock and get rid of things (clothes, shoes, furniture, knickknacks) you don’t need or want. Are they valuable or useful? Sell them on eBay or Craigslist. Too much trouble to list and manage? Donate them with Freecycle. Or donate to a local charity or rummage sale — they may even send someone to pick them up. What could be easier than that?

As the memories of this year’s Christmas begin to fade, we’ll take one last look back at Christmas in Joplin. Below are a series of ads from Joplin papers, and if one thing is evident, the commercialization of Christmas isn’t a recent innovation. Click on the images to see larger versions.
Perhaps the most restrained ad, courtesy of the Joplin Furniture Company.
Sedwick's Furniture of Webb City makes sure you notice its suggestions for Christmas.
Christman Dry Goods Company offers unique Christmas art with the procession of three bears on a lead.
Close up of the bears from the Christman ad.
Christman Furniture advertises a Christmas sale event, not to be missed!
A rather simple trunk factory ad.
Further holiday art.
A Belated Merry Christmas!

It can be very hard to login as root and stop X and run the installer. You are thinking like the person that owns a desktop, not like the person that remotely admins 4000 machines.
The only solution at this point for a corporate environment is Intel graphics, since no such shenanigans are required. In some environments, such as modeling and heavy graphics, Nvidia would be a better choice for performance reasons. We'd just like the option of choosing a second vendor.

This year, Macau celebrates the 15th anniversary of its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Initiated by the last governor of Macau in 1994, the Historic center of Macau was inscribed in 2005, making it the 31st designated World Heritage site in China. The Historic Center of Macau is made up of two separated core zones in the central area on the Macau peninsula.
Times like these are probably not the best to encourage visitors to physically make a trip to Macau, but it should not stop us from remembering Macau citizens’ collective memory and history. The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) recognizes that the interpretation of cultural heritage is an essential part of the heritage conservation process. Contrary to popular notion, heritage conservation does not only pertain to the physical manifestations of cultural heritage. The primary purpose of conservation through public communication is to facilitate understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage sites and foster public awareness.
We as faithful have a duty to understand the cultural heritage from the ecclesiastical perspective. The Pontifical Council For Culture (Latin: Pontificium Consilium de Cultura) describes cultural heritage as “an inspiration for humanity.” The Council further constitutes cultural heritage as “witness to a fruitful symbiosis of culture and faith” (Towards a Pastoral Approach to Culture, 1999). Such a notion is parallel to UNESCO’s definition of cultural heritage as “an irreplaceable source of life and inspiration.”
THE HISTORIC MONUMENTS OF MACAO
The Historic Monuments of Macao are a set of 12 monuments linked to form a heritage route which leads to the center of the old Christian quarter starting from A-Ma Temple. This heritage route represents Macau’s unique historic urban development with the oldest and richest European architectural legacy on Chinese territory, a unique product of Sino-Western cultural exchange over a period of 400 years.
Undoubtedly, Macau has one of the highest densities of Roman Catholic religious buildings in Asia. It is interesting to note that the parish churches had a strong impact on the urban layout of Macau even until today. The Peninsula is divided into five parishes named after local churches that were built in the 16th and 17th centuries: St Anthony’s, St Lazarus’, St Lawrence’s, the Cathedral, with the exception of Fátima. These monuments stand witness to the long history of Christian missionaries’ footprints.
Pope Gregory XIII, through the Bull Super Specula Militantis Ecclesiae created the Diocese of Macau as suffragan to the Archdiocese of Goa. Subsequently, the Diocese held ecclesiastic jurisdiction over Japan, China and Vietnam by 1576. In 1586, Macau was raised to the official title of City of the Holy Name of God in China. As the hub for evangelisation in the region, the churches of Macau are living proof of the interchange of religious, spiritual and cultural values. The Historic Monuments of Macau includes various churches, convents and chapels belonging to various Catholic orders from the 16th to 19th centuries: Jesuits, Dominicans, Augustinians and Franciscans.
OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE AS “THE FIRST”
In order to be inscribed in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List, the sites must exhibit an Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). Criterion VI in the List recognises several architectural monuments as pioneering examples that influenced the cultural exchange between China and Europe. It includes St Joseph’s Seminary Church as the first baroque architecture as referenced in UNESCO’s World Atlas of Baroque. The Church holds relics of a bone of St Francis Xavier, a patron saint of Macau, known as “the Apostle of the East.” The Seminary building is home to the Treasure of Sacred Art of St Joseph’s Seminary which exhibits some of the important Jesuits’ cultural heritage in various exhibition rooms. The Ruins of St Paul’s as the landmark of Macau can be recognised as the “Acropolis” of old Macau. The old Jesuits’ complex consisted of the Church of Mater Dei and the old College of St Paul’s with Mount Fortress. The Church’s facade is the first mannerist architecture example in China and the College being the first Western-style university in the Far East.
WESTERN CONCEPTS OF URBAN PLANNING IN CHINA
The tripartite complex which consists of Leal Senado Square, St Dominic’s Square and St Dominic’s Market is perhaps the most vibrant spot in the Historical center of Macau today. This Western concept of urban planning is a typical feature of southern Europe, which enabled political power, religion and commercial enterprise to be closely linked to one another and it is the only example in the whole of China. Established by Spanish Dominican priests from Mexico, St Dominic’s Church held the Diocese’s religious services when the Cathedral was damaged by a typhoon in 1836. The main altar of the church displays a statue of St Catherine of Siena, another patron saint of Macau since 1646. Today, the Church’s Treasure holds a collection of sacred arts dated from the 17th to the 19th century.
The Historic Monuments of Macau and its urban evolution reflect Macau’s unique cultural identity as a multicultural community. The ICOMOS says that interpretation refers to the full range of potential activities intended to heighten public awareness and enhance understanding of cultural heritage sites.
The Cultural Institute publishes the Review of Culture, an academic journal to inform the public on research findings. From ecclesical perspective, Pope John Paul II in his Letter instituting the Pontifical Council for Culture (1982) advised its promoters that cultural treasures of the Church should not be treated exclusively in cultural terms as their meaning will be lost.
Through our participation in the communication process and promoting activities among ourselves as well as non-believers, may we fulfill the role of service to the community in our highest regard.

For the first time, a serving Indian Army chief has accused a predecessor of stalling his promotion on baseless grounds.
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Dalbir Singh Suhag accused Minister of State for External Affairs VK Singh for delaying his promotion “with mysterious design, malafide intent and to arbitrarily punish” him for “extraneous reasons,” The Indian Express reported.
Submitting an affidavit to the Supreme Court, Dalbir claimed that in 2012, he was “sought to be victimised by the then COAS,” adding that the only reason behind it was to deprive him of a promotion to the position of army commander.
“False, baseless and imaginary allegations of lapses were levelled against me in the show cause notice” of May 19, 2012 and consequent imposition of an “illegal” discipline and vigilance (DV) ban, Suhag stated in his affidavit. Suhag filed the affidavit in response to a plea filed by Lt Gen Dastane alleging nepotism in Dalbir’s selection as army commander.
According to reports, the minister of state for external affairs had placed Suhag under a DV ban between April and May 2012 for alleged “failure of command and control” in an operation carried out by an intelligence unit working directly under him, while he was then commanding the Dimapur-based 3 Corps.

Countdown to MK50 birthday weekend
Teen Jailed For Knife Point Robbery
A teenager who robbed a man at knife point in a Milton Keynes shopping centre has been sent to prison.
Dean Stewart, of Fowler, Stantonbury, Milton Keynes was sentenced to 34 months in jail after Amersham Crown Court last week heard he used threats and physical violence to rob his victims.
The 18-year-old headbutted his 43-year-old victim outside an off-licence in Purbeck, Stantonbury on 18 June this year before threatening him and taking cash.
Officers searched the area and arrested Stewart after recovering the knife used in the offence.
After being charged and remanded into custody, he pleaded guilty to this robbery and a further offence of robbery which he committed on the 19 May at Stantonbury Fields Car Park, Soskin Drive during which he threatened and headbutted a 16-year-old before stealing his mobile phone.
DC Phil Turner-Robson, who investigated the case, said: “I am delighted that Stewart has been taken off the streets.
“His robberies involved intimidation of the victims who were left shaken and nursing injuries afterwards.
“He gained very little financially from committing these robberies but the length of his sentence reflects the violence and threat of violence he was using.”
45 Year-Old Mark Rayner Jailed For 15 Years
An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering Leonne Weeks, 16, who was found dead on a path in Rotherham.

HOW TO MEASURE
Remove your existing register to reveal and measure the opening dimensions.
The width and length of the opening must match the INSIDE dimension of the register cover you choose. (Remember, the sizing listed on all our register covers refers to their INSIDE frame dimension, so we’ve made it easy for you to choose the right size for your opening!)
Please also take note of the OUTSIDE dimensions of the register cover you choose (found on downloadable spec sheets on each product page of our website). In situations where the opening is close to a wall or cabinet, you’ll need to make sure there is enough space around the opening to accommodate the overall size of the register cover.
For new installation:
Measure twice! Then cut your duct opening to match the width and length of the INSIDE dimensions of the register cover you choose. Remember to leave enough space around the opening to accommodate the OUTSIDE dimensions of the register too.
HOW TO INSTALL the LOUVER and REGISTER COVER
Select a louver that is the same width and length as your opening.
Set the louver deep enough in the duct that the register cover can be placed on top without interfering with the movement of the louver.
Install the louvered damper by securing it with coarse-thread drywall screws to the perimeter of the opening.
Place the Iron Age register cover over the louver. All register covers have drill points on either end if screw down is needed.
Take a photo of your beautiful register cover in its new surroundings and send it to us at firstname.lastname@example.org. If we select your photo to use on our website, we’ll send you a register cover of your choice!

Giving Tuesday is a national movement dedicated to making the holidays a little brighter by giving back.
There are holidays dedicated to getting deals, and giving thanks, but this holiday is for giving back.
There are plenty of local charities that could use the help from the "Giving Tuesday" movement, including the United Way in Harrison County.
Executive Director of the United Way of Harrison County, Marie Battles, said that it's great to give back on a special day, but every day is a good day to give back to your community.
"After Cyber Monday and everyone spending so much money on important gifts on family and friends, it's always good to think back about what the meaning of giving is. Giving to those who may need a little help not just during Christmas but year round as well is important. By giving to the United Way you can help the entire year," Battles said.
For more information on the United Way of Harrison County click here.

|Photo: courtesy of Vita Theas, the curator of art exhibits at Wolves' Land.|
My new exhibit, Reduced Territory, is currently showing at Wolves' Land. I was invited there by Vita Theas. I took the opportunity to create an exhibit honoring the wolves, among other creatures. In accord with my environmental concerns, the installation graphically illustrates the encroaching human cities on the ever diminishing wild life habitats. I hint at nature as being nothing more than a picture on a billboard spilling onto a landscape as small and tame as a little corner park surrounded by construction. The wolves run to a boulder in the park, as it is the only space left for them to go. My description that reads on the sign seen in the installation itself, reads:
Squeeze the forests down, and seize the oceans!
We are masters of the Earth: the great builders, shapers of the planet.
Wildlife runs, swims, flies, and crawls to leftover spaces.
They cannot escape our growing appetite.
As the last wolf packs run up the sole remaining wild rock,
we congratulate ourselves for our nations.

March 2022 Newsletter
Spotlight: Jessica B. Heffner
Board Certified Specialist in Family Law
Congratulations to Jessica Heffner, who joined our most recent group of board certified specialists in 2021. Jessica received her bachelor of arts degree in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. She obtained her juris doctor from the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University, graduating magna cum laude.
What led you to become an attorney?
I have wanted to be an attorney since before I can recall. I’m not sure when the seed was planted, but I do know why I chose to be a family law attorney. I grew up in a blended family, so I knew divorce attorneys and about “child custody schedules” early in life. The family law attorneys I knew as a child and then later in my career have been immensely influential in my life. Also, I had the opportunity to spend a summer interning with the family law group at Wyrick Robbins and loved it. When they offered me a full-time position after passing the bar exam, my acceptance was a no brainer.
What made you decide to pursue board certification?
Pursuing board certification allowed me the opportunity to demonstrate and elevate my knowledge and expertise in the area of family law. Additionally, all of my mentors and a lot of other attorneys across the state that I highly respect are specialists. I have also found that board certification is an achievement prospective clients find compelling and an important part of their criteria in selecting counsel; to them it reflects experience, knowledge, and expertise in an area of law with very personal and long-lasting effects on their lives and families.
What is the best thing about recently achieving that goal?
I was stoked to be eligible to attend the NCBA’s Family Law Intensive CLE in January; and, of course, to never have to take a test again! An unexpected outcome of sitting for the exam was feeling the most “up to speed” on our expansive and ever-changing area of law.
How did you prepare for the examination?
I studied for the October 2021 exam primarily while on maternity leave June through September 2021. I outlined all of the statutes, read and reread the “bench book,” studied other shared/donated outlines, and reviewed all of the case law updates for the last five years. During maternity leave, I studied roughly ten hours per week (when possible) for about ten weeks. I returned to work in early October and took a couple days off before the test.
What would you say to encourage other lawyers to pursue certification?
The whole process is very rewarding and gives you an opportunity to demonstrate (and elevate) your knowledge and expertise after years of practice (and lots of studying). Prospective clients continue to ask if I’m board certified, and I’m proud to now say yes. Also, board certification is a stepping stone to other nationally recognized associations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
What is the best advice you have ever received?
My dad always reminded me when I was younger, particularly when I’d set unrealistic expectations for myself, that my best was always good enough. Similarly, from Maya Angelou: “Do the best you can until you know better; then when you know better, do better.” And, from Heidi Bloom, when you’re experiencing particularly trying situations with an opposing counsel or client, exercise the 24-hour rule in your response/reaction when possible, and if not, pick up the phone.
Who is your hero and what makes them your choice?
My children, both of whom remind me every day to do my best, but to remember life is short, to not sweat the “small stuff,” and to slow down and watch more cartoons.
Congratulations to Our New Specialists
Congratulations to the new specialists. These lawyers met all of the requirements to be certified by the Board of Legal Specialization on March 2-3, 2022.

It is meant to be Africa’s biggest port, but talks between the Tanzanian government and Chinese and Omani developers over the $10bn megaport at Bagamoyo have stalled, an official said.
Deusdedith Kakoko, director general of the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA), said in an interview with Tanzanian media that problems had arisen with the investors’ conditions.
He said: "The conditions include investors’ demand to be granted freedom to setting charges for cargo docking at the port. The investor also wants tax exemption on various commodities. The investor also wants to be compensated on business losses incurred during the project execution."
Agreed between former Tanzanian president Jakaya Kikwete and Chinese president Xi Jinping in 2013, the scheme was to be developed by China and Oman’s State General Reserve Fund and built by Hong Kong-based conglomerate, Merchants Holdings International.
Bagamoyo was expected to have a capacity of 20 million containers, making it by far the largest port in Africa. The government of Tanzania announced in October 2017 that the first ships would unload in 2020.

Residential Treatment Centers for Teens in South Dakota
Turning Winds is a superior residential treatment center directing struggling teenage boys and girls from South Dakota who are wrestling with pain medication abuse/addiction, emotional problems, or narcissistic behavior. In our serene, yet structured environment teenage boys and girls receive the superior therapy and treatment they need to make positive changes in their life, and rediscover the person they are meant to be.
Although Turning Winds may not be located in South Dakota, we accept at-risk teenage boys and girls from all over the country. When teenage boys and girls are taken out of their comfort zone and removed from negative influences and distractions, they are better able to focus on changing their behaviors and learning the skills necessary to make an incredible recovery.
As a Residential Treatment Center, we have combined a variety of proven therapeutic treatment methods to form the Five Pillars of Therapeutic Change.
This includes education on life and social skills, conflict resolution, effective communication, boundaries, health and self-development, and much more. While doing this, struggling teenage boys and girls learn to take accountability for their actions, gain insight into their past behaviors and why they were unhealthy, learn decision-making skills that help them set and achieve goals, and realize the importance of recognizing their personal successes.
To ensure that no teenager falls through the cracks, we have a 5:1 staff-to-student ratio. Adolescents are continually engaged in beneficial activities facilitated by our highly educated and expert staff. Our staff facilitates individual and group therapy, adventure and outdoor recreation and adventure therapy (that takes place outside on our 150-acre campus), and academic classes in our
Our staff facilitates individual and group therapy, adventure and outdoor recreation and adventure therapy (that takes place outside on our 150-acre campus), and academic classes in our nationally accredited school. This gives just a glimpse at our treatment facility, which has an exceptional rate of success with teenage boys and girls in crisis.
Our licensed intake counselors are available to offer assistance and support to the parents of struggling teenage boys and girls from South Dakota. Call (800) 845-1380 or (208) 267-1500 in the evenings and on weekends for help.
Residential Treatment Centers for Mental Health
Turning Winds is a superior Residential Treatment Center directing struggling teenage boys and girls from South Dakota who are wrestling with a variety of troublesome issues, such as alcohol abuse/overuse, emotional concerns, and poor academics. Using our unique 5 Pillars of Change, we offer the exceptional therapy and treatment teenage boys and girls need to make a long lasting recovery.
When placed in an unfamiliar environment, teenage boys and girls are better able to concentrate on their treatment, which often leads to more profound and lasting changes.
At Turning Winds, we understand that some teenage boys and girls do give in to temptation and peer pressure, which can lead to problems with alcohol abuse/overuse issues. Struggling teenage boys and girls who engage in these behaviors will receive education that involves pain medication abuse/addiction awareness, education on relapse prevention, social skills training, and more.
Adolescents dealing with self-harming behavior and/or other sleep disorder, whether along with or apart from pain medication abuse/addiction, take part in a variety of proven therapeutic interventions, including individual and group therapy, to work through their problems.
Regular family therapy is also an important component of our therapeutic services, particularly for teenage boys and girls fighting depression. Adolescents learn to appreciate themselves as a person, explore their external and internal personal resources, as well as how to apply them to different areas of their lives where they may be at-risk, and gain a better awareness of their identity.
At Turning Winds, we are devoted to help teenage boys and girls in crisis work through their current circumstances and transform into a young adult with integrity, a positive outlook on life, and the skills needed to maintain their recovery long term.
Long Term Residential Treatment at Turning Winds
As one of the nation’s superior Residential Treatment Centers, Turning Winds gives the therapy and treatment struggling teenage boys and girls from South Dakota need for a successful recovery. We help teenage boys and girls wrestling with a variety of issues, including pain medication abuse/addiction, self-harming behavior, poor academics, narcissistic behavior, sleep disorder, alcohol abuse/overuse, and much more.
Located on 150 acres of gorgeous and serene land in Montana, we may be outside of South Dakota, which is why we accept at-risk teenage boys and girls from all areas of the country.
When teenage boys and girls leave behind their comfort zone filled with unhealthy influences and are placed in a situation of uncertainty, it encourages them to take an active role in their treatment.
Experience shows that this gives the best opportunity for true behavioral changes that are long-lasting.
At Turning Winds, we place a strong focus on academics. In our nationally accredited schools, our certified teachers individualize educational plans to each teenager’s specific needs.
They are closely monitored, and adjustments are made when needed to ensure a successful outcome that allows a teenager to see that they have the ability to make academic achievements.
We also take full advantage of all that nature has to offer, by incorporating adventure/wilderness therapy into our treatment facility. This allows teenage boys and girls to actively learn the importance of being able to rely on themselves and working together as a team to overcome challenges, become resourceful, and solve any problems that may come their way.
From mountain biking, hiking and whitewater rafting to downhill and cross country skiing, every activity involves a careful balance of hard work and enjoyment that is often more effective than any lecture.
Our expert intake counselors at Turning Winds are available to offer assistance and support to the parents of struggling teenage boys and girls in South Dakota. Call (800) 845-1380 or (208) 267-1500 in the evenings and on weekends for assistance.

Johnny Football appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night to awkwardly wear a suit and apparently give a thumbs up like a politician whenever anyone took his picture. As you can see from the thumbs up pictures, Megan Fox was also there. While Manziel did his awkward Southern football player thing, Megan Fox did the extremely hot chick who somehow just had a baby thing.
Anyway, Football and Fox posed for a picture backstage and then Football gave Fox a #12 Texas A&M jersey for the baby she just had. Just a random #12 Texas A&M baby jersey. I wonder why he didn’t give her a #21 jersey? Or a #78 jersey?

As QA Consultant, she was responsible for the product and safety procedures in all restaurants during the Olympic Games which were held in Athens in 2004. Litsa joined the Premier Capital family in 2011, also supporting McDonald’s restaurants in Malta, the Distribution Centre and suppliers in food safety and quality procedures. Three years later she was promoted to Director of Quality Assurance and successfully prepared all restaurants and the head office in Greece for ISO 22000 certification.
Store Manager (Premier Restaurants, Romania)
Alin joined Premier Restaurants Romania in early 2018. During his management training programme, which he describes as well-organised and detailed, Alin had the opportunity learn more abou the most appropriate techniques related to product and restaurant equipment handling as well as team coordination. Having learnt from the best, he was chosen to be part of the management team of a new McDonald’s restaurant in Braila in 2019. His message to all trainee managers is to always be curious, show desire, be motivated, and the results will speak for themselves!
Hospitality Consultant (Premier Restaurants, Romania)
For the past 15 years Alina has dedicated herself to delivering consistently superior customer service. She has had the opportunity to work with inspiring leaders within the company and, although she has had numerous achievements over the years, most would not have been possible without the support of her team! She believes that it is important to immerse oneself in training, to help others polish their skills, to acknowledge strengths and opportunities, to work hard to achieve financial goals, and to embrace diversity and new challenges at all levels. She is very happy to be working with McDonald’s and to be part of an amazing journey and opportunity to enhance the McDonald’s experience for millions of customers in Romania.
Our HR team has designed a series of leadership programmes and follow-up training across the group to give our people the management and leadership skills they need to thrive and progress.
Our talent management processes are constantly being polished to ensure our talent pool reaches its full potential.
Here’s what our people have to say about the training experiences at Hili Ventures!
Chief Financial Officer (Harvest Technology, Malta)
The training sessions were highly insightful, useful, challenging, and, above all, practical. Our trainer delivered the material with an extraordinary level of passion and enthusiasm. The programme has served as a catalyst for personal change in so many ways, on the job and outside work, and it has really opened my mind to new perspectives and to my personal and professional potential. As part of the training on communication skills, I was asked to deliver a talk on the finance function at Hili Ventures to the rest of the cohort, which helped test and hone my own skills. During the programme there was ample time for interactive sessions, such as role play, and it is was the perfect opportunity to listen to others’ experiences from across our markets, and to apply practical solutions to my actual job role. A site visit to a third-party company encouraged us to think outside the box and to analyse how other businesses operate and put their leadership skills into practice!
Quality Assurance Assistant (Premier Restaurants, Baltics)
The training was conducted in a highly interactive manner and the trainer managed to create quite a discussion-oriented atmosphere. An informal training atmosphere helped break the ice, and the experience was helpful both on a personal as well as a professional level. The selection of topics provided participants with the required knowledge and a clearer view of work expectations. It is quite difficult to pinpoint only one important thing that I learnt from the training as every topic was useful. ‘Leading Change’, for example, creates awareness of the challenges faced as a result of change, while PRISM Brain Mapping identifies work preference profiles, behaviours, skills and motivations that help create a high-performance culture. These types of sessions help raise teamwork and efficiency to the next level!
Human Resources Executive (Hili Ventures, Malta)
The overall training experience was great! Not only was it fun and engaging, but I was able to meet people who are now my colleagues. I particularly enjoyed the Q&A session, and the experience itself was beneficial as it made me more aware of the kind of situations one can experience at work daily. The most beneficial session for me was the ‘Building and Leveraging Talent, Leadership – Applying the Foundations of Belief and Change and Innovation’. I held the role of Sales Executive for Carmelo Caruana Company Ltd at the time, and thanks to leadership training, and the way it opened my eyes to internal mobility within the group, I eventually made it to where I am today – Human Resources Executive at 1923 Investments plc, a role that is also in line with what I studied at University and which is my true calling! The techniques and skills I acquired from the training programme helped build a good solid foundation for the role I hold today.
Chief Financial Officer (Motherwell Bridge Industries, Malta)
The fast-track leadership training was a pleasant experience that allowed me to interact freely with other peers in managerial positions. It was the perfect opportunity to listen to others’ views and experiences, and to think outside the box. I learnt how to start handling certain issues in a more productive manner, and how to deal with different personalities in the most effective and efficient way possible. We all have different capabilities, however together we can bring great things to the table!
HR Business Partner (Services) (Hili Ventures, Malta)
We had excellent trainers and very stimulating content! Interactivity and the use of various learning activities ensured that we remained engaged throughout all sessions. I had the opportunity to reflect on my work ethic, and how this can fit within the overall values of the company I work for. Getting to know fellow colleagues from around the group, being able to discuss challenges and share knowledge were also key aspects of the training. In terms of career progression, I am now more able to work effectively as the skills acquired through training have allowed for self-improvement. A take-home message from this programme is to constantly reflect and learn how to understand myself as a leader in order to continue adding value to the group.
Information Systems Project Manager (Hili Ventures, Malta)
The fast-track leadership foundation programme was the perfect opportunity for me to take a step back from daily work life, to reflect, to learn and to develop myself. The most beneficial part of the training was the opportunity to listen and to share experiences with fellow colleagues from the various companies within the group. I believe that these types of training sessions will not make you a business guru overnight, but they pave the way for personal development throughout your career. Gradually, skills achieved become part of one’s personality, helping a person to progress personally and as an aspiring leader. A fundamental thing I learnt from this programme is how to distinguish between management and leadership and the ability to combine hard and soft skills like planning versus setting direction, executing and shaping!
Managing Director (ALLcom, Poland)
Both training programmes I attended were delivered with the highest level of professionalism, thoroughly fulfilling my expectations. The topics discussed allowed me to further expand my knowledge within the field of human resources, and I found the theoretical parts of the sessions to be greatly advantageous as they allowed me to polish my motivational skills and to steer team members towards a suitable career growth path. I would say that the training is quite appropriate for people venturing into a leadership role, as it is useful in paving the right way for career progression. The experience ultimately helped make me aware of my strengths when it comes to leading teams and evaluating work performance.
Operations Consultant Premier Capital Hellas SA, Greece
I feel thoroughly grateful for this experience. The training provided was business-oriented and useful in providing the necessary skills, like interviewing techniques, that I can put to good use in my line of work. Our training group had the opportunity to share knowledge and useful tips, and to network with colleagues from other countries and businesses. Career-wise, I have certainly benefitted from this programme as I am now able to apply useful skills to my daily tasks. The most important outcome from the training was guidance on how to handle work-related change and challenges in a better way!
IT Director, Premier Restaurants, Romania
We had interesting debates, some of which were related to Einstein’s theories, and the most useful part of the programme was the opportunity to listen to the rest of the group, to observe others in a totally different environment, and to learn from their work and life experiences. The trainers manoeuvred the flow of the sessions in a highly professional, yet academic, manner. My career is a sum of challenges, victories, some bad experiences, opportunities, and influences along the way. I know that a ‘can do’ approach is far better than an attitude of expectation. As a result of the training I have learnt to be in tune with the company’s culture, yet authentic at all times, and how to live by its core values to ensure success. This is the true difference between a good manager and a real leader!
Estonia – Greece – Hungary – Latvia – Lithuania – Malta – Morocco – Poland – Romania – United Kingdom
Our people work in some really great locations, even if we say so ourselves!
I joined Premier Capital in May 2011 when the company took over 19 restaurants in Greece and immediately moved to Athens. I’m from northern Italy and I my only encounter with Greece until then had been a holiday to Crete with friends as a teenager. You are surrounded by ancient culture here – the Parthenon, the museums and the monuments. It’s a very cosmopolitan country, bustling with tourists visiting in the winter to learn more about the history and in the summer to enjoy the weather and explore the islands. I communicate in English but it is very important to understand Greek because many people here do not speak a second language. Life outside work is very exciting: there’s always a good art exhibition or rock concert, and you can practise every kind of sport from skiing to surfing depending on which direction you drive. You meet lots of people by visiting the library, going shopping, or heading to the running circuit. The beach is only a metro ride away. I usually drive to the beach on weekends – all I need is a book and sun protection. Cold winters like we have in Italy don’t exist here – you can swim for nine months a year!

George Soros’ name has been thrown around a lot lately. Everyone is familiar with the man and some of his past escapades. But what does he really stand for, that is, what is his vision?
Recently, he has pushed for a common treasury for the eurozone. He has also advocated putting major banks under European Central Bank direction and cheap debt refinancing for countries like Italy and Spain.
In the process of campaigning for the above recommendations, he has drawn a lot of attention to himself. So the question must be asked: what exactly is his vision?
Alex Howe of Business Insider has taken it upon himself to examine Soros’ own words so as to better understand whether or not his plan are indeed radical:
Alliances made between government and business threaten democracy:
His Solution: A New World Order.
“Perhaps the greatest threat to freedom and democracy in the world today comes from the formation of unholy alliances between government and businesses,” he wrote in Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism.
Soros specifically lists corrupt countries like Zimbabwe, as well as plutocracy in Russia.
The United States supports unilateralism, which threatens a stable world order:
His Solution: A world that operates under multilateralism, not one super power.
“The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States,” he wrote in The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror.
Dismayed by a seemingly overzealous U.S. foreign policy stemming from 9/11, Soros has been unapologetically critical of U.S. military interventions. In his book “Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism,” he spells out his criticism:
“It may be shocking to say, but I believe that the current unilateralist posture of the United States constitutes a serious threat to the peace and prosperity of the world.”
“The United States faces a crisis of identity: Does it want to be a solitary superpower or the leader of the free world?” he added later in The Crisis of Global Capitalism.
In short, Soros is a huge advocate of multilateralism. Indeed, Fox Nation tied him to the Western intervention in Libya.
Right now, capitalism is the enemy of the open society:
His Solution: Regulated markets that are not governed by capitalism
“The main enemy of the open society, I believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat,” Soros wrote referencing the state of the world after the fall of the Soviet empire.
Soros believes that an unfettered free market is dangerous
After he wrote about how capitalism had taken communism’s place, Russia announced a debt moratorium, precipitating the infamous collapse of Long-Term Capital Management.
From “When Genius Failed,” Roger Lowenstein’s account of the crisis: “In seventy years, Russia’s Communists had not succeeded in dealing markets such a telling blow as did its deadbeat capitalists.”
(Source of Quote: The Capitalist Threat, by George Soros, courtesy of the Atlantic)
Laissez-faire economics isn’t working anymore:
His Solution: An end to laissez-faire economics, which means financial transactions between private parties would be governed by state intervention, including restrictive regulations, taxes, tariffs and enforced monopolies.
“Laissez-faire ideology does not prepare us to cope with this challenge. It does not recognize the need for a world order,” Soros wrote in the Atlantic.
Here Soros’ context is the collapse of the Cold War geopolitical structure, which allowed capitalism to run free. Comparing the late 90′s to the “golden age of capitalism” at the end of the 19th century, Soros writes:
“The earlier period was in some ways more stable. There was an imperial power, England, that was prepared to dispatch gunboats to faraway places because as the main beneficiary of the system it had a vested interest in maintaining that system. Today the United States does not want to be the policeman of the world. The earlier period had the gold standard; today the main currencies float and crush against each other like continental plates. Yet the free-market regime that prevailed a hundred years ago was destroyed by the First World War. Totalitarian ideologies came to the fore, and by the end of the Second World War there was practically no movement of capital between countries.”
Basically, he believes free markets do not have a place in this world.
Markets aren’t stabilized or regulated enough:
His Solution: A global system of political decision-making that will implement a new global economic system and govern global economics
“To stabilize and regulate a truly global economy, we need some global system of political decision-making,” he wrote in The Crisis of Global Capitalism.
“In short, we need a global society to support our global economy,” he wrote.
We need international law to rule over states and institutions:
His Solution: An international legal system that rules over individual states and international institutions
“The sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.”
Soros says he does not want a “global state.” What he wants is a “global body with actual political weight, supporting ‘open societies’–transparent, robust democracies,” Howe writes.
(Source of Quote: “The Crisis of Global Capitalism“)
Capitalism has triumphed. But it makes democracy impossible:
His Solution: Democracy cannot coexist with capitalism. Now is the time for democracy.
“We can speak of the triumph of capitalism in the world, but we cannot yet speak about the triumph of democracy. There is a serious mismatch between the political and the economic conditions that prevail in the world today,” Soros wrote in Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism.
Soros is a true globalist. For him, the “mismatch” is between an economy that flows relatively unimpeded worldwide, and a geopolitical system that defers to the sovereignty of nation-states–even repressive ones. This would explain why he has directly intervened in several international crises.
Although The New Yorker claims that, “He provided crucial support to civil-society movements throughout the Soviet bloc” and that “he probably did more than any other private citizen in the West to nudge European Communism into history’s dustbin,” his global interventions have not always been so lofty (see Black Wednesday for reference).
If we don’t end capitalism soon, someone will have the incentive to takeover the world:
His Solution: Consider the possibility of changing the system during a volatile time.
“The worse a situation becomes, the less it takes to turn it around, the bigger the upside,” Soros said in a Time magazine interview (That sounds familiar: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste“).
If not, the “upside” will be enjoyed by only the victors of capitalism. Again, the British currency devaluation crisis of ’92 comes to mind. Soros made a $1.5 billion bet against the pound, which singlehandedly raised Bank of England interest rates by 2 percent and contributed to forcing the withdrawal of the pound from the European Exchange Rate Mechanism.
Alex Howe ends on this note:
So, Soros knows firsthand that financial actors can bank massively from political disaster–and, indeed, even cause it. His actions impacted the course of a nation’s history, further fueling wild beliefs about his supposed shadowy influence. It’s another irony of Soros conspiracy theories–the man who broke the pound is now a critic of unfettered free markets.
With better a better understanding of his fundamental beliefs, it is much easier to comprehend the implications of his suggestions to the embattled eurozone.
