First I want to apologize to everyone! It’s been so long since I’ve had a new post because I’ve been working out of state and SOOOO busy the few days I’ve had a home recently. It’s not an excuse by any means but I just wanted each of you to know that I’m still here and more posts are on the way!! I have another recipe I’d like to share with you. This is a super easy recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread. For those of you who don’t like raisin just leave them out and you’ll get a delicious Cinnamon Swirl Bread instead! Either way it’s heavenly! Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread Yield: 3 – 9″ loaves 1 ½ cups milk 1 cup warm water, the water will need to be 110-115 degrees F 2 (¼ oz) packages of active dry yeast 3 eggs at room temperature ½ cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 1 cup raisins, I prefer golden raisins 8 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour 2 tablespoons milk 1 cup sugar 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons butter, melted - Warm the milk and ½ cup butter in a small saucepan until it just starts to bubble. Remove from heat. Cool milk mixture to 120-125 degrees F. - While milk mixture is cooling dissolve the yeast into warm water and set aside. The water should be between 110 and 115 degrees F. Water that is too cool will not activate the yeast and water that is too hot will kill it. Set aside the yeast until it is frothy. This will take around 10 minutes. - In the bowl of a mixer, combine the milk mixture, salt, sugar, and eggs. - Change out the attachment in the mixer to a dough hook. If you like the raisins add them now along with 2 cups of flour. - Add in the remaining flour slowly, ½ cup at a time, until you obtain a stiff dough. - Pour the dough onto a floured board and knead by hand for a few minutes until the dough becomes smooth. - Place dough ball into a large, non-stick spray coated mixing bowl. I prefer to use Pam for Baking spray but it doesn’t really matter what you use. Turn the dough allowing the spray to coat the surface. - Cover with a layer of plastic wrap and a warm, damp cloth. - Allow the dough to rise undisturbed until it has doubled in size. This usually takes around 1 ½ to 2 hours. - Pour the dough onto a floured surface and roll into a large rectangle about ½ inch thick. - Moisten the dough with 2 tablespoons of milk. - In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup sugar with 3 tablespoons of cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the moistened dough evenly. - From the longest side, roll the dough up tightly. The roll should be around 3 inches in diameter. Cut dough into thirds, tuck ends under and pinch the seam together. - Place loaves into well greased 9×5″ loaf pans. Let rise, uncovered, for about an hour. - Bake loaves at 350 degrees F for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on racks. - Brush tops with melted butter and serve once completely cooled!

Don’t let the lack of inches fool you, the Optoma ML550 (around £350 ex. VAT) is a highly capable and surprisingly bright LED projector, equipped with the same business-class features as larger Optoma products. Features such as HDMI and VGA connectivity plus integrated memory and both USB and microSD slots for PC-free presentations. It’s even got built-in audio and optional Wi-Fi, making for a very capable as well as highly portable little projector indeed. A Portable Package Small enough to fit in one hand (assuming normal-sized hands!), the ML550 weighs in at a mere 380g, making it very easy to carry about. It also comes in a smart padded case along with the external AC adapter and power lead needed to make it work plus a tiny remote control and an I/O cable with VGA and external audio connectors. The main reason for the lack of size is the use of LED as a light light source which, as well as reducing bulk saves on energy and is also rated to last for 20,000 hours so there’s no bulb to change. Imaging, meanwhile, is handled by the highly regarded DLP chip from Texas Instruments giving the ML550 a native resolution of 1280×800 pixels (WXGA) to handle a varerty of display formats including 720p. Recommended projection distance is 0.55 – 3.23 metres which isn’t huge, but at 2 metres we displayed images with diagonal measurements of 60-66 inches, depending on format. In our book that makes it more than adequate for presentations to audiences of 10-15 people or, possibly, more. Another plus is that, with a 500 lumens, rating the results were a lot brighter than we have come to expect for an LED projector, enabling the ML550 to deliver a clear picture with only minimal blackout measures. And if that’s not good enough, the almost identical ML750 (around £450 ex. VAT) bumps the brightness up to 700 lumens. Maximum power consumption is 65 Watts and despite the LED lighting the ML550 still needs cooling with no fewer than three fans inside the casing. These do make a bit of noise, but not enough to be intrusive and a lot less than on other projectors we’ve tried. You will, though, need to let the projector cool down before moving it, just like projectos with bulbs inside. The usual wind-down foot at the front can also be used to angle the light beam plus there’s a screw fixing to enable the projector to be attached to a tripod or ceiling bracket. Putting the ML550 to work is easy, which is always a plus as this can be a real hassle when you’re in a hurry – as you always are when giving presentations on the go. Focusing has to be done manually, which is no problem, and there are a number of push button controls on the top of the projector with built-in LED indicators for use in the dark. For the most part, however, the ML550 can be setup and operated via the remote control with an intuitive interface that we had no trouble getting to grips with. In fact the only real issue we had was with the location of the IR receiver as it’s tucked away round at the rear of the unit, meaning we couldn’t stand beside or in front of the projector and operate it. There are four display modes (Cinema, Bright, Photo and PC) and simple controls for keystone correction to get a nice square picture. You can even project 3D movies from the ML550 although you will have to buy 3D active shutter glasses from Optoma in order to watch them. Host attachment is done using either the VGA lead supplied or via HDMI. More than that, the HDMI interface supports MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) so, in theory you can attach a smartphone or tablet to both mirror the display and charge it at the same time. Not all devices come with MHL, however, and working out if the technology is even available can be hit and miss. You can also add wireless connectivity in the form of a tiny WU5205 USB dongle, adding around £45 (ex. VAT) to the price. Presentations To Go We ran several tests using laptops and by cabling to a DVD player and set-top box, but one of the most impressive features of the ML550 is its ability to be used standalone rather than having to connect a computer or other device to it at all. Instead you can put your content onto a USB memory stick or microSD card or even copy documents onto the 1.5GB of internal memory for the ultimate in mobile use. To take advantage of this option we selected the source we required from the setup menu, the ML550 then allowing us to choose the documents to be displayed via an on-screen browser using the remote. We found it easy and very convenient, the ML550 coping with just about everything we threw at it thanks to built-in viewers for, not just still images and most video formats, but PDFs and Microsoft Office documents too, including PowerPoint presentations. On the down side, we did experience a few pauses here and there, especially when loading large documents and scrolling between pages but, overall, we were very impressed with the capabilities in this department. It was also nice to have built-in sound although, at just 1 Watt, the built-in speaker wasn’t that loud. Having tried mobile LED Projectors in the past and not been that impressed, we were more than pleasantly surprised by what Optoma has managed to achieve with the ML550. Not only is it tiny and very portable (we’ve got bigger digital cameras!), it also delivers the goods both in terms of brightness and picture clarity. Indeed, it compares well against conventional projectors with higher ratings than the 500 lumens quoted. Add to that extensive options for PC-free presentations, including built in viewers for Office and other popular document formats, and you have a real little projector powerhouse, literally, in the palm of your hand.

PORTLAND MAN GETS MORE THAN 4 YEARS FOR VANCOUVER, WA BANK ROBBERY ANDREW LEE LEHR, 34, of Portland, Oregon was sentenced today to 52 months in prison and five years of supervised release for the Armed Bank Robbery on March 6, 2003 of the Wells Fargo Branch at Vancouver Mall in Vancouver, Washington. The robbery was one of a string of crimes from Portland to Rapid City, South Dakota. LEHR's sentence will run concurrent to the five year sentence from South Dakota for Grand Theft. According to documents filed in the case, LEHR blamed his crime spree on an addiction to methamphetamine. LEHR admits he walked up to the teller window at the Vancouver Mall Wells Fargo, placed a bag on the counter and stated "I want to make a rather large withdrawal. I want hundreds, fifties and twenties." LEHR raised his sweatshirt to show he had the grip of a pellet gun or air pistol sticking out of his waistband. LEHR left the bank with more than $8,600. LEHR was ultimately apprehended in Missoula, Montana driving a car he had obtained unlawfully in South Dakota. Most of the money taken in the bank robbery was recovered. In addition to the Vancouver bank robbery, LEHR faces charges in Multnomah County, Oregon for three robberies at a shopping mall. U.S. District Court Judge Ronald B. Leighton ordered that LEHR undergo 500 hours of intensive drug treatment as part of his sentence. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney John J. Lulejian. For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office, Western District of Washington at (206) 553-4110.

Foreign institutional investors, who have been pouring money into Indian equities have now slowed down purchases, with net purchases running into just a few crore rupees and in fact last week they have turned net sellers on certain days. Clearly, markets need to catch up with fundamentals and it would not be surprising to see the markets fall in the next few weeks. In fact, on Friday there was large scale selling pressure in the US, with the Dow having its worst day since June and falling more than 200 points. The reason for the fall were financial performances from McDonald's and General Electric, which disappointed investors. Indian markets are likely to react on Monday and should open in the red, tracking weak global cues in the US. The week is a truncated week, with a holiday on Wednesday for Dashera. The results season has been a mixed bag thus far, with TCS and ITC beating expectations, while Infosys belying expectations. Reliance results were in line with market expectations. Markets are now likely to watch the remaining part of the earnings season, particularly from the big names in the banking sector. The next two months are likely to be a little tricky for the Indian markets, with the outcome of the US elections, the fiscal cliff problems in the US, European woes and crucial bills that need to passed through parliament. A negative outcome for any of these could be potentially damaging for the Indian markets. The markets are likely to remain subdued and may drift lower. The best strategy would be to sell on every rally.

Re-Will these fish get along??? 1.) Will 2 angel fish, 4 male molly fish, and 6 cory cats get along in a 55-gallon tank? Is it too small? 2.) Will 2 small blood parrots, 4 male molly fish, and 6 cory cats get along in a 55-gallon tank? Is it too small? The angels will do fine. No to the blood parrots. IMHO, Angels deserve a tall tank, nothing under 75G and 2 foot tall. Almost everyone would disagree with me, but like I said, JMO. No to the parrot and yes to the angels. That should work out fine. So the parrots are out... However, I've heard that mollys tend to prefer hard water, and angels and corys soft water...Is this true? And do corys and angels like aquarium salt like mollys? No fresh water fish likes aquarium salt. Mollys do not like it either.................... I am 1 million percent against the use of any amount of salt useage in the freshwater industry. I nearly told off my boss yesterday when he was saying dose once a month to a customer, but I value my job(and my income)...... Yes aquarium salt is good for your tank, but not at all for your fish, and they will start to suffer if you start to dose it... IME, people dose once a week when doing water changes... They think doing one 25% water change takes all the salt out of their tank. Its quite obvious that it only takes out 25% of the salt, and then on top of that, they add another doseage... I reccomend, that if you really are into ujsing salt, then only dose at maximum once every half yearly... Not really a fan of mollys and am not sure what their PH preference is.... But, an interesting fact I have recently learned about PH changes.......... a ph reading of 7 is neutral, correct? when PH changes, it is a change of water quality by 10 fold... SO!... When your ph jumps from say 7 to 8, it has changed 10 fold. if it jumps from 7-9, it is a change 100 fold. and so forth... It is a logarithmic equation..... Just thought id throw that in hehe What we really need to know is the pH of your tap water. Most fish will adapt to pH values that are not completely "perfect" just fine. So, depending on whether your water is a happy medium between both species' preferences or not it may or may not work. If you already have soft water I would do some tetras instead of the mollies. Some people have also noted that mollies will nip at the long flowing fins of angels, but mollies are pretty goofy fish so it could be worth a shot. Mollies do prefer harder water and can definitely tolerate salt (even full marine) but your other fish, especially the cories, will suffer from its use. So...you could try the mollies and it might work out, but something like a school of rummynose tetras would be a safer bet, not to mention would give you a true Amazonian biotope! I see no problem with either of the setups you listed. I'd have to say no to mollies because I don't like them (LOL) but a pair of angels in a 55 or a couple parrots are fine with your corys. Actually with the mollies, too, if you have them and a good way to get rid of all those babies. No Parrots whatsoever. Everything else is fine IMO. I would not put Parrots with the Angels! Some Mollies will nip long fins so for that reason I would not add them. I would add Cardinal Tetras instead of Neon Tetras A full grown Angel Can eat the Neons and IMHO Cardinals are prettier than Neons. Harlequin Rasboras would also look nice along with Cardinal Tetras and Angels. Theres my 2 Cents! |All times are GMT -5.

Happy Columbus Day/Canadian Thanksgiving to our North American readers. I have no idea what Post-Columbus Day is called Down Under, but on Tuesday morn Oz time I'll be Zooming into my chums at Melbourne's IPA for a special event with the great Jon Roskam. You can find more information about that here. Time-wise that's midday Tuesday in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, 9am in Perth, and somewhere in between for those of you in between. But because Australia is way ahead of us (Victoria's already in the third year of lockdown psychologically) tomorrow is already here (or there) in the Antipodes. So, if you'd like to check in from the western hemisphere, it's 9pm tonight North American Eastern Time - or 1am Greenwich Mean Time, for those of you elsewhere on this turbulent earth. But you do have to be an IPA member - which you should be anyway. It will be a lot of fun. ~Elsewhere this promises to be a lively week, starting with the clean-up for Hurricane Delta, which, as Dr Fauci can surely confirm, has blown around a lot of Covid, causing it to swirl about your condo and add you to the soaring number of cases. There is more action to come in the Supreme Court hearings just underway - and more inaction: the canceled Trump/Biden debate that the President is now demanding be rescheduled. Good luck with that. I said on Rush that we were living in a blizzard of lies, but that expression makes it sound less precisely targeted than it is: With three weeks to go to the laughably misnamed "Election Day", it's all hands on deck at the Associated Press. The arbiters of American journalistic practice have decided that the term "court packing" means "depoliticizing" the bench. Gee, how unobjectionable that sounds: Bullock said that if Coney Barrett was confirmed, he would be open to measures to depoliticize the court, including adding judges to the bench, a practice critics have dubbed packing the courts. So, by happy coincidence, the AP has now adopted the same position as the Dems: A Republican filling a vacancy on the 150-year-old nine-member bench is, per Joe Biden, "court-packing". But Democrats adding six leftie judges and making it a fifteen-member bench is "depoliticizing" the court. Orwell that ends well. ~Still, at least the AP is not (yet) actively killing its political opponents. In Colorado the paramilitary wing of the mainstream media is shooting people on the streets. It's only a few days since Kyle Clark, the news anchor of Channel Nine, was hooting and jeering at those rube viewers in the 'burbs worried about Denver's downtown violence: Shame to think there are people cowering in the suburbs, cleaning their guns, peeking through the blinds wondering if every person of color outside is Antifa. If you're afraid to come into Denver because of talk radio fear-mongering, you're missing out on a lot. If you took the star anchor's advice to check out the lively Denver scene, I do hope you weren't shot by Kyle Clark's murderous colleague Matthew Dolloff. Mr Dolloff is a hardcore leftie #F*ckThePolice #F*ckTrumper, so naturally the NBC affiliate hired him as a "security guard", gave him a gun, and took him to cover a "Patriot Rally", where he shot and killed pro-Trump veteran Lee Keltner. In Colorado employment as a security guard is contingent upon a license. Mr Dolloff did not have one. So, even before he started shooting, the "guard" and 9News were in breach of state law. As the NBC station points out, however, the upside is that their producers and anchors did not actively participate in the killing: A private security guard, hired by 9NEWS, is being held as a suspect in the deadly shooting. A 9NEWS producer has been released after DPD said it was determined they were not involved in the incident. So we are not yet in homicidal weather-girl territory. But still: Mainstream media employees are now literally killing Trump supporters. 9News is pioneering the transition from boring old Eyewitness News to the livelier format of Perpetrator News. ~I am generally opposed to the over-credentialization of American life: As I pointed out in After America, in the Fifties one in twenty members of the workforce needed government permission in order to do his job; today it's one in three. But on balance, if the alternative is Matthew Dolloff, I am in favor of licensing security guards. Katz/CRTV sued me for claiming their own illegal security guard stole my cat tree. They lost on that as on everything else (scroll down to Statement 68). Obviously, by comparison with poor Mr Keltner, I got off lightly. But my abiding memory of that strange time is the sense of the fragility of the thin skein of social norms - and that is certainly my 2020 takeaway too. ~The non-homicidal side of wokeness is, alas, incredibly boring. Even as the hospitality industry collapses around the western world, a new hotel has opened in Washington, DC to "celebrate female empowerment". Is that what you're looking for on your next business trip? The hotel restaurant (see top right) is dominated by "a massive pointillist portrait of late Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg that's made out of 20,000 hand-painted tampons (the release notes organic tampon company CORA donated them all)." I'm relieved by that parenthesis. Don't you hate it when you go out for dinner and the floor-to-ceiling portrait of a recently deceased judge is made of non-organic tampons? Does anyone on the planet still get excited by this butt-numbingly tedious crapola? Is there anything more sleep-inducing than corporate wokeness? For a start, nothing is so past it as yesterday's up-to-the-minute. It's totally transphobic to suggest having a period is anything to do with being a woman: all over America millions of happy, healthy, well-adjusted men have PMMS (pre-male menstrual syndrome), and yet, if they go to dinner at Hotel Zena, they have to be demeaned by old-hat feminists culturally appropriating their organic tampons. Enough with the hate. ~Speaking of cultural appropriation, are there any blacks in #BlackLivesMatter? Last night the Portland mob toppled statues of Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln and, very tellingly, smashed up the Oregon Historical Society - because, even more than the Khmer Rouge, they wish to live in a post-historical permanent hyper-present that's less Year Zero than Day Zero. The previous night - Saturday - twenty-six "racial justice" crusaders were arrested by what remains of Portland "law" "enforcement". Here they are: Not a lot of vibrant diversity, is there? The only even theoretical nod to our rich identity-politics mosaic is that it is no longer possible in most of these mug shots to detect which are cis and which are trans - or indeed, in at least ten of the twenty-six, which are male and which are female in any sense. ~It was a very busy weekend at SteynOnline, starting with another go-round of our Clubland Q&A and a splendid hour of questions from Mark Steyn Club members live across the planet. On Saturday an extended edition of The Mark Steyn Show considered the integrity of the American state and why the wider west reacted to China's provocations as it did. There was also another episode of The Hundred Years Ago Show and a brace of poems for Columbus and 1492. Later I covered for Kathy Shaidle on the movie beat with a centenary appreciation of Walter Matthau. And on Sunday we offered a contrast in musical styles: Tal Bachman's remembrance of three weeks with Eddie Van Halen, and yours truly on "Georgy Girl". If you were too busy making a portrait of Amy Coney Barrett in toxic non-organic tampons this weekend, I hope you'll want to check out one or three of the foregoing as a new week begins.

(CNN) - John McCain delivered a speech on the economy Sunday that was sharply critical of Barack Obama. “Whether it’s a reversal in war, or an economic emergency, he reacts as a politician and not as a leader, seeking an advantage for himself instead of a solution for his country," he said. Read McCain's full prepared remarks after the jump. McCain's full remarks: Thank you, Major General Marty Umbarger, for that kind introduction. Colonel Al Faber, Major General Poythress, Brigadier Generals Arflack, Taylor, and Ross - I thank you gentlemen as well. And let me add a warm hello to my good friend Major General Stan Spears of South Carolina, and to Brigadier General Steve Koper, and Lieutenant General John Conaway. It's an honor to join with all of you again for this 130th General Conference. And I bring greetings from the Governor of the Great State of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Every day in this country and across the world, the men and women of the National Guard are giving brave and faithful service. Everyone who wears the uniform of the United States has accepted the calling of service to a cause greater than self. This hard calling is what defines the citizen soldiers of the National Guard, and America is in your debt. As we meet, Guard members are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, while still others have just returned from a training mission in the nation of Georgia. Other guardsmen are still working to bring order and safety to the victims of Hurricane Ike along the Texas coast, just as they did after Katrina. Our nation faces many challenges. We have all watched the crisis on Wall Street this past week, and I would like to address that for just a moment. Last Friday, I proposed a plan for comprehensive reform of the broken institutions that allowed this crisis to become a grave threat to our economy. At the center of the plan is the principle that we must keep people in their homes and safe guard the life savings of all Americans by protecting our financial system and capital markets. Senator Obama has declined to put forth a plan of his own. At a time of crisis, when leadership is needed, Senator Obama has not provided it. We saw this same lack of leadership on Iraq. Because of the sacrifices and perseverance of all the troops - active-duty, Guard, and Reserve - victory in Iraq is finally in sight. My opponent, Senator Obama, likes to say that the surge in Iraq was more successful that anyone could have predicted at the time. He said that the surge succeeded, "beyond our wildest dreams." That's his way of saying that it took him by surprise. And to this day Senator Obama still cannot bring himself to admit his own failure in judgment. For a guy who talks so much about hope, he didn't hold out much hope for victory in Iraq. Instead, he commits the greater error of insisting that even in hindsight, he would oppose the surge. Even in retrospect, he would choose the path of retreat and failure for America over the path of success and victory. Behind all of these claims and positions by Senator Obama lies the ambition to be president. What's missing is the judgment to be commander in chief. In short, both candidates in this election pledge to end this war and bring our troops home. The great difference is that I intend to win it first. The achievement of our troops in Iraq is even greater because they had to press on even as some politicians back home were telling America and the world that our cause was too hard, and all was lost, and retreat was our only option. Those politicians panicked when things got tough, which seems to be a pattern with my opponent. Whether it's a reversal in war, or an economic emergency, he reacts as a politician and not as a leader, seeking an advantage for himself instead of a solution for his country. Among the many lessons of Iraq were the words of General David Petraeus. Upon arrival in Iraq, he told his troops to remember that "hard is not hopeless." And that is a lesson that applies to other great challenges that America now faces: Hard is not hopeless. Unlike Senator Obama, I believed the surge would succeed because I knew the capabilities and culture of the United States military. I was blessed to have been born into a family that made its living at sea in defense of our security and ideals. My grandfather was a naval aviator; my father a submariner. Earning their respect was one of the great ambitions of my life. And so it was nearly pre-ordained that I would find a place in my family's profession, and that occupation would one day take me to war. Such was not the case for many of you. Your ambitions might not have led you to war; the honors you sought were not kept hidden on battlefields. You answered the call when it came; took up arms and served for your country's sake. You were citizen-soldiers. And yet today, the National Guard's role resembles, in many respects, the role it performed in World War II, when Guard units fought in every theater and every major campaign. Units such as Company A of the 116th Infantry Regiment - the famed "Bedford Boys" of the Virginia National Guard - that spearheaded the allied assault on Omaha Beach, June 6, 1944. Before 9/11, a lot of us didn't always fully appreciate the power and potential of the Guard, and what it might one day be called upon to do. But my friends, we understand it now. Times have changed - we all understand that now. Today, thousands of National Guard soldiers and airmen once again fight alongside their active component comrades on every battlefield in the war against militant Islam. From the mountains of Afghanistan to the back alleys of Iraq, Guard and Reserve personnel are engaged in every aspect of this conflict. The men and women of the National Guard represent the very best of what it means to be an American and what our country is truly all about - free people of every race, creed, color, and ethnic background, who regard it as their sacred duty not simply to indulge in the rights and privileges of citizenship, but to answer its obligations. No matter the danger to our security or safety - at home or abroad - the National Guard has answered the call. You have always been ready. You have always been there. For everyone in the military today - whether you are Guard, Active, or Reserve - these are difficult times. We are a nation at war, and we have asked of our men and women of the armed forces an almost unprecedented level of commitment and sacrifice. Extended deployments and back-to-back combat tours have become the standard rather than the exception. The new security environment in which we live will continue to pose great challenges, and require that we use all elements of national power to defeat radicalism. The National Guard will play a vital role in this multi-dimensional effort, precisely because its citizen-soldiers and airmen bring such a wide range of skills and capacities to the force. We place great demands on the National Guard. At times, the Guard's responsibilities exceed even the demands we put on our active-duty forces. And our government has certain obligations that it has not always kept. As we go forward, America must make a new and lasting commitment to our National Guard. This commitment must begin with our political leadership recognizing the sheer magnitude of what we ask Guard units to accomplish - abroad and here at home - with a force comprised primarily of part-time soldiers and airmen. This means a national leadership that respects and treats our governors and adjutant generals as partners in national and homeland security policymaking, rather than as impediments and intruders. Part of that essential effort was to grant the Chief of the National Guard Bureau the fourth star that the position merits - and I'm pleased to congratulate General-Select Craig McKinley on being the first Guardsman to wear that fourth star. This means getting rid of policies, practices, and customs that fail to promote a seamless Total Force based on cooperation, jointness, and the mutual respect that all components, including the Guard and Reserve, have earned with their blood and bravery. We cannot afford - and I will not tolerate - an environment in which parochialism stands in the way of building an integrated Total Force. This means giving the National Guard all the manpower it needs - including a sufficient complement of full-time positions - so that every unit is ready to mobilize for any contingency. This means providing all the training the Guard requires, so that no one is asked to take on a mission unprepared. And it means ensuring that our Guard is well supplied, so that no unit will ever go into harm's way without the best equipment that America can provide. A serious commitment to supporting the Guard also means that service to country should come at the cost of a civilian career. When employers exceed the requirements of the law in supporting the Guard commitments of their workers, we should encourage and honor that. And when employers fall short of those legal requirements, the sanctions should be serious, and they must be enforced. Finally, our commitment to the Guard and Reserve means establishing a new compact with our Guard and Reserve personnel to ensure that they and their families are given appropriate care, during and after their time of service. PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury affect Guard members just as they do active-duty personnel. In the Senate, I co-authored the Wounded Warrior Act, which was the first major legislative initiative to address these injuries. And I pledge to you that, if I am president, I will build on this legislation to improve screening and treatment for these severe injuries suffered by many in Iraq and Afghanistan. And I will ensure that we take into account the special challenges of identifying and caring for our traditional Guard members - and their families - who need assistance. We made a great step forward when the president signed the GI Bill for the 21st Century this summer. I am proud to have supported that legislation in its final form, once it included the number one request of career service members - that they be given the freedom to transfer their benefits to a spouse or child. I expect that many eligible Guard members and their families will want to take advantage of that benefit. As with anyone who has served in uniform, veterans of the Guard deserve the best of medical care and other benefits. As president, I will do all that is in my power to ensure that those who serve today, and those who have served in the past, have access to the highest quality health, mental health and rehabilitative care in the world. And I will not accept a situation in which veterans are denied access to care on account of travel distances, backlogs of appointments, and years of pending disability evaluation and claims. We should no longer tolerate requiring veterans to make an appointment to stand in one line for a ticket to stand in another. We must also modernize our disability system to make sure that eligible service members receive benefits quickly, based on clear, predictable, and fair standards. And we must address the problems of capacity and access within our VA health care system. While this will involve a wide range of initiatives, I believe there is a simple and direct reform we should make right away. My administration will create a Veterans' Care Access Card to be used by veterans with illness or injury incurred during their military service, and by those with lower incomes. This card will provide those without timely access to VA facilities the option of using high-quality health-care providers near their homes. For many veterans, the closest VA facility isn't close enough. And many of their local providers are already familiar with the most common needs of veterans. Often, all that prevents them from receiving local care is a system for sharing medical records among VA, DOD, and civilian hospitals and doctors. My reform will improve care, reduce risks, and broaden access all at the same time. The VA must also broaden its care for the women who are entering the armed forces in greater numbers than ever, and who are suffering from the same war wounds - visible and invisible - suffered by other veterans. As rapidly as possible, we must improve the VA system so that it can fully assess and treat conditions that predominantly or exclusively affect women. And here the Veterans Care Access Card will prove especially valuable, affording women medical options while the VA improves capacity and expands services. No one who has worn the uniform of his or her country can ever take these matters lightly. We all learned an ethic in the service of looking after one another, of leaving no one behind, and this commitment did not end when we left the service. As a matter of duty and of honor, whatever our commitments to veterans cost, if I am president those commitments will be kept. The next president will have many responsibilities to the American people, and I take them all seriously. But if I am elected, I will have one responsibility that outweighs all the others. And that is to use whatever talents I possess, and every resource God has granted me to protect the security of this great and good nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. It is every veteran's hope that should their children be called upon to answer a call to arms, the battle will be necessary and the field well chosen. But that is not their responsibility. It belongs to the government that called them. As it once was for us, their honor will be in their answer not their summons. Whatever we think about how and why we went to war in Iraq, we are all humbled by and grateful for their example. They now deserve the distinction of the best Americans, and we owe them a debt we can never fully repay. We can only offer the small tribute of our humility and our commitment to do all that we can do, in less trying and costly circumstances, to help keep this nation worthy of their sacrifice. Many of them - especially our Guardsmen - have served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many had their tours extended. Many returned to combat sooner than they had been led to expect. It was a sad and hard thing to ask so much more of Americans who have already given more than their fair share to the defense of our country. Few of them and their families will have received the news about additional and longer deployments without aiming a few appropriate complaints in the general direction of people like me, who helped make the decision to send them there. And then they shouldered a rifle or climbed in a cockpit and risked everything - everything - to accomplish their mission, to protect another people's freedom and our own country from harm. It is a privilege beyond measure to live in a country served by them. I have had the good fortune to know personally a great many brave and selfless patriots who sacrificed and shed blood to defend America. But I have known none braver or better than those who do so today. To the National Guardsmen who today will walk combat patrols in Iraq and Afghanistan, to those who will fly missions in support of our deployed forces, to those engaged back home in humanitarian efforts to relieve suffering, and to all of you who know what it means to stand the long night watches - thank you. You understand both the value - and the price - of freedom. You are the best among us, and I pledge to you my undying fidelity to the cause of protecting America - and to a National Guard that will always be ready, and always be there. Thank you.

Juan Antonio Bayona's The Orphanage is another haunted house picture, but it's more reminiscent of Frankenstein in its occupation of rummaging for spare parts. Henry James is vigorously plundered, and movie fans will note stylistic and plot similarities to recent thrillers from Alejandro Amenábar and Guillermo Del Toro, who not coincidentally produces The Orphanage. Laura (Belén Rueda), once an orphan, returns to the orphanage as an adult to open a home for sick children and raise an orphan of her own, Simón (Roger Príncep). That goal proves easier said than done: it's complicated by the guilty fear that HIV-positive Simón will learn that Laura and husband Carlos (Fernando Caya) aren't his birth parents, the arrival of a prying, bug-eyed old social worker (Montserrat Carulla), and spooky goings-on—including suspicious "imaginary friends" for Simón—suggesting that long-gone orphans won't stay dead. When Simón disappears, Laura must figure out how to communicate with the ghosts. Her best bet is a psychic (Geraldine Chaplin) who, in a well-executed sequence reminiscent of The Grudge franchise, communicates with the beyond while others watch on video monitors. The results prove to be the last straw for Carlos, the ostensible voice of reason as Laura begins to crack under the strain. The husband is an otherwise negligible presence, for The Orphanage, like The Others, is about the inextricable, fateful bond of mother and child. But since this isn't a serious drama, The Orphanage waltzes around this theme while serving its true master: suspense. Hence, we get a series of serviceable creep-outs and jolts, enough to keep the film humming along but not enough to distinguish it. Thus, as in an M. Night Shyamalan film, the onus rests on the ending. But by the time we get there, Sergio G. Sánchez's screenplay has yanked us around so much that the pretzel-shaped resolution feels like too little too late. In the wake of Pan's Labyrinth and given Bayona's stylish direction, The Orphanage remains a safe choice as Spain's bid for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. New Line's home-video package for The Orphanage comes in DVD and Blu-Ray editions. As it should for a brand-new film, The Orphanage looks and sounds great (with both DTS and Dolby Digital surround tracks), and it comes with a few nice extras. "When Laura Grew Up: Constructing The Orphanage" (17:23) is a behind-the-scenes doc including interviews with all the principal cast and crew members, including director Bayona and producer Guillermo del Toro; the piece dutifully covers the film from pre-production to post-production. "Tomás' Secret Room" (10:00) does the same task in brisker (brusquer?) fashion, in five, two-minute clips on Bayona, the score, the art direction, the visual effects and the opening credit sequence. "Horror In The Unknown: Makeup Effects" (9:22) shines the spotlight on the work of makeup designers David Martí and Montse Ribé (Oscar winners for Pan's Labyrinth), and "Rehearsal Studio: Cast Auditions and Table Read" (3:43), though all too short, is for us "process" junkies, giving a glimpse of Bayona working with the actors, including young Príncep. The disc also includes theatrical trailers and TV spots, as well as a "Still Gallery" and "Marketing Campaign" sections that include over 200 photographs and conceptual poster art.

Use what you love and love what you use. Have fun and enjoy your work. And you are right on about the subjectivity of the differences. We can all go on and on and on with suggestions, etc. but the real test is what you want and are you getting the results you like.

Earlier, there had been spoilers hovering around Gossip Girl season 6 that points to Chuck and Blair having a kid. Ofcourse if you're like us, you know that we don't stop 'til we get to the bottom of it. First of all, I'm sure you're aware of the photos leaked from Chuck and Blair's nuptial happening in the finale. And let me tell you, the moment that bunch of goodies got to us we knew there's much more digging to do. With further probing, Serena's wedding photos came to light! You wanna know what happened next? That little kiddo in the image below stunned my whole Gossip Girl obsession for a few engrossing moments. There he is, a sweet little 'Chair' in a suit just like he's daddy. Well, I'm sorry to ruin the news but this is only a higly-considered speculation. This can all be just a dream or some figment of imagination inside Blair's mind. How 'bout you loyal UESiders? What's your take on little Henry? Oh, shoot. Did I forget his name is Henry? See you guys in the comments!

Nintendo released its third quarter earnings this week (PDF). Unit sales over the holiday period were great but having to convert overseas purchases from foreign currency to Yen wasn’t. Profits took a hit. It was all largely as expected. Same as the last quarter, mostly. There was one surprise. Unexpectedly, the company made a million unit downward revision on Wii unit sales projections for the full fiscal year and other adjustments to software expectations (DS Hardware was revised upwards). The downward revision on the Wii ? ….rewind…Holiday sales were record setting. Just a few months ago, in October, the company had upped sales projections for the year ending in March by a million units to 27.5m Wii units. In August they’d increased forecasts as well. The growth was sufficient enough that it prompted the company’s president, Satoru Iwata to say in October it was “safe to say strong game demand is intact despite all the talk about the financial crisis.” Now carving back the guidance to the prior number of 26.5 million units, even though a relatively small adjustment, begs the question of why. Was it “A” – modeling errors in Nintendo’s finance department? Maybe, “Option B” – a factor of inventory movement or production shifts? Or, are the shifts the result of the most obvious option, “C” – the economy. Did the economy finally apply a brake? Has the weak retail climate, and diminished consumer spending, started to knock the Wii off its pedestal of “must have” status? Curious to figure it out and expecting “C” – Metue went to the numbers in search of confirmation. To facilitate the search we pulled unit sales data across regions from Nintendo’s investor releases. We looked at Wii Hardware, DS Hardware, and software. In each category we compared year over year growth rates. We looked at this information for the first quarter (April to June), the first six months (April to Sept.), and the first nine months (April to Dec.) of Nintendo’s fiscal year. Each time slot was tallied independently and then the percentages viewed side by side.(click the thumbnails to view each of the attached tables) The expectation fueling the approach was that, if the new guidance was economically driven, the growth rate trends would show a deceleration as the year progressed and the economy worsened. We expected, the year over year growth rate for Wii hardware, for example, would be smaller for the cumulative three quarters, than for the first two. That is largely what we found with Wii software. Year over year sales growth in most regions, dropped off for the combined three quarters versus the cumulative result of the first two. America’s sales for Wii software, for example, fell from 125% year over year growth for the first six months to 94% for the nine months including the holidays. While this could be due to the introduction, or lack thereof, of new titles, it was more likely economic. With the Wii hardware, we expected to find the same result and be able to highlight as the basis for the new revision. The numbers actually told a different a story across all regions. As shown in the tables , sales trends in Japan, while down year over year from the start, actually appear to pick up momentum as the year went by. The America’s and Nintendo’s “other” category show a different pattern, but they don’t fall off from the addition of the third quarter either. Instead, the Americas and Other category drop from Q1 to Q2 but then accelerate marginally for the full nine months. Specifically, in the America’s Q1 sales were up 73% year over year. Adding the second quarter shows the rate slowing to 48%. But adding in the holiday quarter brings it back up slightly to 51.4%. What explains this? It’s not immediately clear. But it would seem, Nintendo’s forecast adjustments are the result of something more complex than just an economy sales retreat. Here, while the economy may be having some impact, the alternate explanations of Option A and B (modeling and inventory management) may be factors too. The assembled tables are posted here with this post. We welcome thoughts. Anyone with alternate interpretations, please chime in.

A year round organic aquaponic garden with almost no maintenance. Half of the profits go to schools. Springworks has partnered with Cultivating Action to help integrate more aquaponics and sustainable agriculture education in schools. You can check out our campaign at: igg.me/at/microfarm Springworks was started after years of growing aquaponically. In fact, our founder started out of his garage with money from a summer job. However, the systems continued to grow and soon enough Trevor had enough produce to not only feed his family, but sell to a local restaurant. After taking a year and a half off of school because of a bad head injury sustained from high school football, our founder was determined to make a positive impact on the world around him. Using prototypes in Montana to gather data, a business plan was created to grow vegetables commercially all year round in Maine and produce the Microfarm. Financial partners were found in the Spring of 2014 and we broke ground on our commercial greenhouse that fall. We now operate one of the largest commercial aquaponic greenhouses in the country and the first to be certified organic from Maine to Chicago. Springworks is passionate about not only producing healthy, organic, and sustainably produced food but also helping others enjoy the benefits of growing some of their own meals.

If you were responding to our note on Vancouver - we were in the city of Vancouver, not on the island of Vancouver, where Victoria is (confusing isn't it?). However, they are not far apart. We had perfect clear, sharp weather, which probably is not the norm. In Vancouver we biked around Stanley Park and out to Granville Market and the museums, walked all over downtown, took the ferry and bus to Grouse Mountain (how great to have a ski area an hour away by public transportation), and then out to Van Duesen (sp?) Gardens, beautiful even in the winter.

vanilla ice ice baby lyric came to me. omg we are in the song now. ha. goof. changed rooms. you always look rich when you exchange your canuck bucks. all those singles adding up like so haha i snuck in a canadian bill didn’t notice til i hit publish. today was a shopping day, no sun, it’s raining now, still balmy and hot and sticky. it’s off season, which to a canadian sounds stupid cos it’s “too hot” out. we do not take heat for granted. i picked some shells but not too many cos i’m not a nerd. this dude is making a beer pong table. that’s his lazy son in the background, whom said he dug the table yesterday. they were dry. we’ve met a lot of dry personality-free people. so far we like ernesto the best. my bikini top might have something to do with it though. she loved my outfit. obviously. one little girl (5 years oldish) in this surf shop saw me coming and went WOOOOOAH. i love when little kids think you’re a movie star cos you look like you jumped out of a fluorescent rainbow of disneyland punk rock. i just influenced that little girl’s entire future wardrobe as she photographed me with her mind. she’ll draw a picture later on after her nap. i wanted to get these hot pink princess bottoms but i think everyone would make fun of me. this princess shit i do as a joke, and somewhat seriously i dunno, i waffle. perhaps i will be broken down before i leave and get some ridiculous snooki shorts. co-dependent relationship shorts. kind of totally wanted to buy it. waste of money. these places gouge you. i like how i only figured out to stuff my straps in on a sunless day. competing retarded drinks on the strip. and more retarded shit you wouldn’t even buy at home yet on vacation, yes please? i might wear my vintage one piece suit with the red white and blue v neck straps on the fourth of july. it’s wool though. we’ll see. for canada day we’ll have to dress like beavers or something to represent. my fakebans bit the dust. tubeflops are a hit and weirding everyone out. the euro chick blonds are the ones who ask where i got them. THE INTERNET IS HOW is what i say. these chicks are not a fan of the mystery camera. of course mom didn’t bring her camera cord either. the storm seemed like it would blow over and it did. but now it’s raining. i am having a shower asap. this chick has two kids. she must bench press them. i am getting skinnier. getting tax off this was pulling teeth. i would have gotten the bottoms but the guy was a jerk so we pulled down all the bikini tops on the mannequins, which are stacked replete with nipples, grotesque. haha. big jugs for the chicks with fake tits? i am paranoid of getting into trubs like what’s he gonna do? dropped mom off here for a couple hours. looking at all the shitty fashions and weird beach stuff made me appreciate my own style more and all the stuff i overpacked. i do not need to buy any more crap. baby what do you want me to bring you home? as if your ice cream would come out looking like that. maybe i’ll go for a run in the rain? we might go to hard rock tonight. should i ride a mechanical bull? duh. ok i guess i’ll get drunk now and stare at the pool. no more soy milk in my starbucks coffees, soy milk tastes funny in america. undrinkable.

I live in northern California. I’ve been pregnant twice. A study published last month scares the shit out of me. According to the American Chemical Society (ACS): A new study finds that pregnant women in Northern California have the highest PBDE flame retardant exposures reported to date among pregnant women worldwide. It also describes some of the first evidence from humans that certain flame retardants may interfere with thyroid hormone signaling during pregnancy, which is critical to fetal brain development. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a common flame retardant used in electronics, furniture, clothing (including children’s pajamas), etc. PBDEs widespread usage has caused the chemical to build up in human bodies and the environment. Previous studies have found the flame retardant present in mother’s breastmilk and in peregrine falcon eggs. Since 2004, certain PBDEs have been banned in California, but many products remain in our homes containing these “potentially toxic flame retardants”. Researchers suspect ” the high exposure most likely was the unintended consequence of California’s furniture flammability standards.” The results make me want to run out and buy new furniture!

Psychologists have always addressed ADHD as a prevalent disorder with negative consequences for children. The present research was conducted to examine the parent-child relationship model and strategies to cope with behavioral problems in children with ADHD. According to the results of the path analysis of the relationship model among parent-child relationship domains, coping responses, and children’s behavioral problems, among variables that had the most causal relationship with children's behavioral problems, parent-child dependency domain from the parent-child relationship had the most positive relationship. In other words, as dependence in the parent-child relationship increased, so did the children's behavioral problems. Varasteh et al. (2016) reported the positive and significant effects of a positive parenting program on conflicts, intimacy, dependence and overall positive effect. They reported less frequent behavioral problems in children with decreased dependence and conflicts in the parent-child relationship . According to Adili et al. (2019), using intervention methods such as play therapy decreases dependence in the parent-child relationship and significantly reduces conflicts and improves dimensions of health in children . The excessive emotional care and attention received by these children appears to intensify dependence on their parents, increase their expectations and create different problems in their future, which is consistent with the present findings. The disease duration was positively, significantly and indirectly related to behavioral problems in the children on a single path. Increases in the disease duration increased behavioral problems in the children. As a major daily issue in patients with ADHD, establishing social relationships is exacerbated with age. Attention and concentration problems persist despite the gradual improving effect of age on the symptoms of ADHD as reflected in numerous studies . In line with the present research, a study by Sohrabi et al. (2014) on oppositional defiant disorder in preschool children showed no gradual changes in the symptoms of disobedience in the controls and this disorder persisted over the course of time . Among the effective variables on both paths, conflicts exerted the highest positive causal effect on behavioral problems in the children. Increases in conflicts in the parent-child relationship increases the behavioral problems. Shafiei et al. (2018) found conflicts in parent-child relationships to cause externalizing disorders in children. They also found treatments focusing on patterns of sensory processing in children with behavioral-emotional problems, training their parents in individual differences and resolving conflicts and increasing positive interactions to decrease problems in these patients . Shapurabadi et al. (2012) found designing positive group parenting programs for the mothers of children with ADHD to significantly decrease conflicts and dependence, increase intimacy and improve mother-child relationships . Memarbashi et al. (2020) found inhibitory control to mediate the relationships of parent-child interactions with social skills and behavioral problems. In other words, parent-child interactions were found to relate to social skills and behavioral problems both directly and indirectly through inhibitory control. Disabilities and lack of concentration in these children cause their failure to complete their normal tasks, increase pressure on their parents in terms of supervision and therefore create conflicts in parent-child relationships . As a dimension of parent-child relationships, intimacy exerted the highest negative effect on behavioral problems in the children in both direct and indirect paths. In fact, the higher the intimacy score, the lower the behavioral problems in the children. A study by Abbasi et al. (2017) on the mother-child relationship model and effects of positive and negative emotions on anxiety disorders showed that, among the dimensions of parent-child relationships, intimacy was negatively and significantly and conflicts positively and significantly related to anxiety disorders. Conflicting behaviors in a mother towards their children decrease their sense of responsibility and develop their insecurity, anxiety, isolation, carelessness and submissiveness. In contrast, increasing parent-child intimacy reduces anxiety disorders and behavioral problems in children. In other words, parent-child relationships based on intimacy and empathy create joy and positive emotions in children. Conversely, parent-child relationships based on conflicts create doubts about parental support, undesirable feelings and negative emotions in children . The path analysis suggested positive relationships between coping responses used by parents and behavioral problems in their children. Research suggests properly using coping responses by parents significantly affects the quality of their relationship with and behavioral problems in their child [8, 15]. Hojjati et al. (2018) found behavioral problems to increase stress in children through increasing fatigue and ineffective coping responses in mothers. Fatigue and lack of energy in mothers associated with their children’s behavioral problems cause their adoption of ineffective, emotion-driven and avoidance coping responses, which in turn exacerbates behavioral problems in their child . Based on the results of the test in the relationship model among positive parent-child relationship, coping responses and children’s behavioral problems, a positive parent-child relationship had the most negative causal relationship with the child's behavioral problems. In other words, increases in the positive score of parent-child relationship decreased behavioral problems in the children. This finding can be explained by the significant effects of positive parent-child relationships on improving the mother-child relationship, reducing conflicts and dependence and increasing intimacy . Research suggests parenting skills and familiarity of parents with training methods and efficient communication with children exert the most significant effect on the emergence or persistence of behavioral problems in children. Positive parent-child interactions can modify this flawed relationship and help improve behavioral problems in children [35, 36]. According to Pajooh et al. (2018), mothers’ familiarity with the nature of behavioral problems in their children, their increased awareness of communication skills and their change in inefficient parent-child patterns to reduce behavioral problems in their children, improve their understanding of their children’s behavior and help them more effectively communicate with their children . The age of the child indirectly exerted the highest positive causal effect on behavioral problems. Research suggests associations between ADHD and socio-behavioral problems in children. Untreated ADHD can also persist until adolescence and adulthood . Despite the improving effect of age on behavioral problems in children, recovery before the age of 12 years is unlikely and symptoms persist until adulthood in 15–20% of cases . The positive and significant causal relationship observed between the children’s age and their behavioral problems in the present study can be explained by their age being below 12 years. Khoddam et al. (2009) reported a varying incidence of symptoms with age and observed the highest incidence in children aged at most 11 years . The symptoms begin to emerge in 67% of children with ADHS at their preschool age . Research suggests the maximum prevalence of this disorder in children aged 3–5 years. Failing to timely diagnose and treat this disorder, especially in acute cases with social problems, can prolong the condition until the next stages of life [42, 43].

There aren’t any concrete solutions regarding how to live longer, healthier, or perhaps safer. The only method would be to practice living the kitchen connoisseur. The goals that people set, have to start somewhere. You need to begin by altering routines that could damper or challenge your objectives. Your own body’s organs have to me worked out or used the right way so they could grow the right way. Living fitness takes dedication. Lots of enjoyments in existence are hazardous for your healthy way of life. Smoking, consuming, drugs, the night time existence, foods, or perhaps your work responsibilities. It comes down lower to each action on your day. From what we should place in as to the we produce. Not just may we consume fatty or processed foods, however the mind consumes everything too. You mental abilities are a effective organ that should be taken proper care of. We have to fill our lifestyle with healthier images. Beginning from the child, we notice everything. A boy follows his father, watches, then mimics his actions. We have to produce healthier recent results for other to note. The kitchen connoisseur must be a regular activity. Everybody includes a different concept of how you can live fitness. Everybody has different beliefs. The meals that people eat maintain that healthy body. Your way of life starts considering the variety of sleep we obtain every night towards the exercise your system needs. The kinds of body everybody has needs superiority. Everybody is produced different. Meals are the origin of energy. That which you consume is exactly what you have produced. Vitamins are loaded with diet to replenish what the body lacks to soak up. You think yourself healthy? Exist areas inside your lifestyle that should be removed or altered to achieve your objectives? The quantity and kinds of exercise are very important to living your healthy way of life. Would you get enough? An excessive amount of? What kinds? Will I smoke? Drink? Take part in drugs? Living the kitchen connoisseur depends upon your alternatives. Choose the best choices not just on your own, as well as the next generations.

Six is a great age. Six is rainbows and scratch-and-sniff sticker books and ponies and Elmo. Six is tying shoe laces and eying bikes with training wheels with envy. KRM is six years old as of yesterday, and I'd be remiss if I didn't come out of hibernation for just a moment to say thanks to all of you who follow along and read this random melange of thoughts, gripes and revelations. I admit my posting has been lacking as of late. When I decided to start a blog way back when, I committed to quality. I was never going to post something for the simple reason of shilling out another post. I would never force myself to craft a post because the day required it. No, I'd only sit down and post when compelled to do so. Life has a way of ebbing and flowing... and right now I'm treading through a lot of thoughts I'm going to file away for another day. Some of them deal with personal relationships, goals for the future and other heady stuff. I could write about how my g-strings got tangled together in the dryer last week - but I just don't think you'd be interested. Maybe you would be. In any case, thanks for coping with my writer's block. Feel free to suggest a topic I should write about - and who knows, maybe I'll just open up a bit.

Unique wins Abu Dhabi shipping solutions deal Abu Dhabi, September 18, 2013 Unique System, a leading integrated turnkey subsea and offshore solution provider, said it has won a contract from Abu Dhabi National Tanker Company and National Gas Shipping Company (ADNATCO) to deliver ship performance monitoring solutions for its fleet. Adnatco, the shipping arm of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, said these solutions are aimed at helping optimize vessel performance and subsequently reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. The project’s objective is to implement energy management systems for the Abu Dhabi group's entire fleet. The first stage of the project includes the installation of ship performance monitoring systems onboard the six vessels of Adnatco: two LNG vessels, two bulk carriers and two oil tankers. The principal objective will be to improve the vessel’s performance and eliminate environmental concerns such as excessive fuel consumption and carbon emission in the long term, said the Abu Dhabi company in its statement. Marorka’s Onboard Energy Management System and Marorka Online, a fleet reporting tool, have been selected for this purpose. The system gathers data from the required instrumentation points and presents the overall efficiency of the vessel ina user-friendly interface. The main advantage of the system is its ability to provide real-time information from each vessel in fleet, thereby facilitating informed decisions related to energy efficiency. The entire project will be carried out by Unique System, acting as agents for the Iceland-based energy management company Marorka. Dhia Hussain, the project manager, Al Daffah Project of Adnatco said the Unique System is known for its superlative technical knowledge and cost-effective solutions. "Backed by first-rate support from Marorka and factory-trained service engineers locally, we are confident that the on-board support for this project in terms of installation and commissioning of the system will be instrumental in achieving the desired results." Venkatesh Rao, the division manager, Marine for Unique System said, "We have always strived to deliver the best in technology to our marine clients. We firmly believe that Marorka is a pioneer in energy management solutions based on extensive research and development activities." Georg Haraldsson, the area manager, SEE and ME at Marorka said, "We are confident that our partner Unique’s technical expertise and aftersales support service will be key assets that will help in the successful completion of the project. We look forward to working with Adnatco on additional future projects.”-TradeArabia News Service

We know that as a business you want to save money, but the negotiation of your energy bills probably comes low on your never-ending to-do list. Let us take the burden and find you the best package to suit your needs. We have access to prices over 20 different energy suppliers, and we can tailor the best deal to suit your business needs. We negotiate on your behalf to secure the best deals from these gas and electricity suppliers. Then, we compare the quotes and translate them to you in everyday terms. You don’t need to panic about the renewal or changeover process once the time has come either; we can manage the whole thing on your behalf to make it as straightforward as possible. Prior to switching If you want to switch or renew your energy supply the first place to start is with your energy bill. To make the process more efficient we’ve highlighted the information we need from you below. However, if you don’t have the below to hand don’t worry, we can find this information out on your behalf! When is your renewal date? Helpfully most energy suppliers have printed your renewal date on the bill. Even if the date is more than 12 months away, some businesses can still authorise us to agree a new price now – saving you from potentially falling into out of contract rates if you forget when the renewal time comes. What are your reference numbers? Your bill also gives you relevant information that you will need to review your prices – such as the Mpan (electricity Meter Point Administration Number) or MPR (gas Meter Point Reference Number). These can be found on your bill and will look similar to the above example. How much energy do you consume? For electricity, multiply the monthly consumption by 12, or the quarterly consumption by 4. For gas, you may over estimate or under estimate depending on whether your bill is a winter bill or not, and whether you use more gas in winter on heating. Don't worry, we will help you work this out.

People of today seem are often concerned with what makes them beautiful. But who and what defines beauty. Over the millennium that humans have existed the social ideals of beauty have changed. In the ancient Greek and Roman day’s beauty was women with curves; for they came with the association of fertility. Over time though the “heroine chic” of the 2000’s became the new beautiful; with protruding bones and a gaunt face. Today we seem to have many different ideas of what the ideal beauty is, according to the Huffington Post article “What is the real definition of Beauty?” Beauty is happiness. This is a simple and refreshing idea. It is one that doesn’t put pressure on young girls to look a certain way but to be happy with themselves.Tags: Beauty happiness perception social women Who and What Defines Beauty by Abi is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

These medical strength facial peels remove the outer layers of the skin and stimulate growth from the deeper layers, resulting in a fresher, smoother and more refined appearance. As the skin renews from within, dramatic results can be noticed with fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, acne lesions, superficial scarring and overall the skin’s complexion is improved. For best results from your chemical peels in Sydney, a program of three peels is recommended, and then a review of your results is undertaken. Each session takes about half an hour. The skin does need to be prepared with Aspect Dr home care a minimum of two weeks prior to the first treatment, which is included in the cost of the program. As several damaged layers of the skin are shed, it is common to feel mildly sun burnt after a peel. Redness, peeling and flaking can occur for a few days. Norwest Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery offers three different chemical peels in Sydney:- Programs include three peel treatments, an Aspect Dr Starter Pack (for use before your peels, to prepare your skin), and a thorough skin diagnosis to determine if other skin care is needed. Each of these three types of chemical peels in Sydney offers different advantages. When you visit your Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney for a consultation, he can help you to determine which type of peel would be the best fit for your skin and your goals. Skin Preparation with Aspect Dr Starter Pack The Aspect Dr Starter Pack is comprised of: If you suffer from post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (where, after the redness from an injury fades, your skin is darkened for a period of time) or if you are having a more intensive peel (such as one of the Salicylic Acid Peels – Pigment Punch and Cabernet au Chocolat; or the Vitamin A Retinol Brulee Peel), it is also important to prepare the skin for the two weeks before the peel with the Complete Pigment Serum to inhibit the production of melanin (pigment). This can be used both morning and evening in conjunction with the other serums. This prepares your skin for your chemical peels in Sydney. In between treatments and after any peel, it is essential to use a physical sun block. We suggest Aspect Envirostat. Treated skin becomes more sensitive to the sun’s potentially damaging rays, so sun protection is extremely important to maintain good results after a chemical peel. Aspect Dr’s Redless Serum is a corrective anti oxidant calming serum which can be used to help your skin regenerate and stabilize in colour more rapidly. It is used over the top of the other serums, both morning and evening, helping to protect and nurture your skin following a chemical peel in Sydney.

WHO WE ARE LIFEcycle was started in 2009 to impact cancer treatment here in the Ocean State. After participating in an out-of-state bike-a-thon in 2008, founders Dani and Jacob Brier realized that their fundraising efforts should be used to make an impact locally. Inspired and determined to make a difference close to home, the Briers teamed up with like-minded members of the community to form LIFEcycle. From the very start, our mission has been to "Promote healthy, active living and support local cancer treatment." Here at LIFEcycle, that's more than just our mission - it's our passion. WHAT WE DO The LIFEcycle community comes together every year for our largest fundraising event, a bike-a-thon called Ride 'Round Rhody. The cyclists, volunteers, and donors that support them have raised an incredible $550,000 for local cancer treatment and clinical research. LIFEcycle then distributes the funds raised through RRR to local hospitals to provide a range of cancer services, including clinical trials that have a national impact, integrated and complimentary medicine, and patient navigation services. Ride 'Round Rhody is an event our community can be proud to take part in. No matter how cancer has affected the lives of those we love, we must not stop until there is a cure!

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – What better way to test your luck than playing a few games of chance. The American Legion Post 29 in Zanesville will be hosting their 4th Casino Night allowing the public to do just that. Post Commander Larry Wheeler said the event will be this Saturday starting at 4 P.M. and while there will be gambling, the stakes won’t be too high. “We’re doing this all with funny money, or Monopoly money if you will and at the end of the night there will be prizes that you can bid on and take those prizes home,” said Wheeler. Wheeler said tickets for the Casino Night are available at the Legion and are $20 for singles and $30 for couples in advance, or $25 for singles and $35 for couples at the door. He said all of the ticket money goes back toward the American Legion and the projects it supports. “One of our pillars is to try and give back to the community,” said Wheeler. “Right now the Legion alone we have 11 scholarships out that and those are $1,000 scholarships.” Wheeler said the event is open to the public and will run from 4 until midnight on February 16th. He said they will also be serving dinner between 4:30 and 7 P.M. that evening.

Plush Microbes Features ** Plush Sleeping Sickness Microbe ** Purple with a Tail ** Made by Giant Microbes ** Original 5-7″ ** Petri Dish 3 Mini Microbes Yawn, stretch! We all love waking up from a deep, restful sleep, don’t we? Well okay, some of us hate the waking up part, but what even they can’t deny is how good it feels. Sadly, people suffering from sleeping sickness have a lot more problems than merely being unable to sleep. This insidious little bugger is carried by the tsetse fly of sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike most flies, the tsetse can bite you, and its this way in which it makes you sick. Just check this guy out! He looks pretty creepy, doesn’t he? Like a weird purple mouse, bug….thing. The parasites enter the bloodstream, and when symptoms start, they can leave you feeling pretty rotten. Fever, headache, pain, itching – no fun! But then it get worse as the parasite enters your brain and can really give you a bad day! Unfortunately, once it gets here, damage is usually permanent and if untreated, fatal. The term ‘sleeping sickness’ comes from one of the side effects of infecting your brain. Humans are the primary victims of the disease, though some domestic animals (pigs and cows) can also be infected. As scary as sleeping sickness is, this little guy is safe and fun. He comes with a little tag that tells you all about him! So if you ever plan a trip to Africa, you will know what to look out for!

Earthquake yesterday - 7.2 - in Mexico. We felt it in San Diego, for forty seconds - scary - stood in closet - enough time to think about top floor falling - to be afraid - to pray. An earthquake in Seattle when I was four. It shows up in my writing over and over. (Ray Bradbury says writer's should mine their loves, hates, fears and obsessions from childhood.) The Seattle earthquake becomes a metaphor in my novel - the child's world shaking apart... (An earthquake on Easter, God rising, the stone rolling away.) Well it shook me - literally and emotionally. When we are confronted with shaking, with things falling down, we wonder what the hell we are doing with the time we have left. And to tell the truth, I never know if what I'm doing is the most valuable use of my time, or the best contribution I could be making. For instance, this. Should I not be working on my novel? On publishing? I got a rejection slip yesterday. It depressed me. What I like about writing in this way is that I know people will see it. It's not just in a drawer waiting for some publishing god or angelic agent to rescue it and deem it worthy. I am a part of a community of writers. So yes, this is what I wish to be doing with the time I have left - writing, communicating, connecting. Thanks for being in my world.

Developmental Biology's Full Profile Developmental biology asks questions about how organisms come into being, how life forms, and how complex structures develop and are differentiated. These fundamental questions have been the subject of research for centuries; accordingly, this course you will teach you not only about the beginnings of organisms, but about the beginnings of developmental biology as a science. Currently, developmental biologists use a range of tools and research foci—from molecular techniques to surgical manipulations to chemical and environmental studies—to answer these questions. Their approaches are multi-faceted because developmental biology itself addresses topics of importance to a wide range of fields, from molecular biology to neuroscience to evolutionary biology.In this course, you will learn about the field of developmental biology from its origins to the present day. We will take a look at historical experiments as well as modern techniques and the mechanisms of development. You will follow a variety of metazoan organisms from their start at fertilization through the stages of their development and on to entire organismal and post-embryonic development, learning along the way about the molecular and genetic regulations involved in these processes. Days of the Week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - Level of Difficulty: All Levels - Size: One-on-One - Cost: Free - Institution: Saylor - Topics: Biology The mission of the Saylor Foundation is to make education freely available to all. Guided by the belief that technology has the potential to circumvent barriers that prevent many individuals from participating in traditional schooling models, the Foundation is committed to developing and advancing inventive and effective ways of harnessing technology in order to drive the cost of education down to zero Saylor Offers Courses In: Questions about Developmental Biology Want more info about Developmental Biology?

According to a new survey, Only 44% of Americans say they or their spouses have calculate how much money to t live comfortably in retirement, let alone how to invest it. Only 18% of workers are confident they'll retire comfortably. For those who do save, taking the extra time to plan out how to shine in their golden years, it is just as important to have a strong, diversified portfolio. To those responsible savers, Gold IRA's are an obvious choice. A Gold IRA is nothing more than a regular retirement account, offered through companies like Regal Assets , that allows the saver to include gold and other precious metals in their retirement funds. In other words, it does everything a regular IRA does, plus a little more. But why take the extra step? Here are the top five reasons for investing in Gold as an important part of any responsible retirement plan. Any portfolio strategist will tell you that one of the most important elements of a solid financial plan is having a diverse portfolio. Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, make sure that they're spread out. The beauty of having a basket of golden eggs is that even when According to Forbes, “To be diversified, an investor should have at least a couple of percent of their portfolio in gold...In general, people are poorly diversified and often when they look back at the moments when they have lost more money than they care to remember it is because they held undiversified positions in instruments that went sour. Diversification is the only way to secure wealth and gold is a good ingredient for that.” 2) Gold offers good returns Gold has consistently offered great long run returns. In the decade after 2001, the metal increased in price from $255 to a high of $1900, a 745% return. Of course, like any asset, prices fluctuate, but gold has proven an excellent return on investment over time. 3) In an age of financial uncertainty, gold offers safety Historically, in times of uncertainty regarding the value of currency, markets have shifted toward safe assets such as gold. Since 2008, central banks around the world have taken extraordinary steps, such as Quantitative Easing, to weather the financial crisis. Nobody is quite sure what the long-term repercussions of those steps will be. Gold offers a solid hedge against inflation or weakening currency because it maintains its intrinsic value. 4) Demand for gold is on the rise internationally The middle classes in emerging markets are growing quickly, and with them grows demand for gold, whether for savings or for jewelry. In 2010, India and China consumed over half the world's gold, and in the first nine months of 2013 alone, they bought a collective 1,500 tonnes of the precious metal. That trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon, meaning the sooner you buy, the better. 5) The supply of gold is limited Because gold isn't something that can be manufactured or printed like money, its market supply is determined by mining and by central banks buying and selling their reserves. It takes a good five to ten years to put new gold mines into production, so the supply doesn't fluctuate wildly. Rolling over your 401k or other IRAs is simple with a company like Regal Assets . If you invest a minimum of $10,000, you can benefit from fee waivers, spanning from setup and administration of accounts to storage and rollover fees for gold IRAs. The company's understanding of the nuances of gold IRAs help people roll over their accounts smoothly, with literally no tax implications or legal violations. If you ever change your mind, non-IRA gold investments can be easily liquidated and sold back at the spot price.

Suspected kidnappers have again struck in Ondo State, abducting eight travellers, SaharaReporters learnt on Sunday. Among those kidnapped are two civil servants in the workforce of the Ondo State Government, who were travelling from Owo to Akure after a ceremony at the weekend. They are Ayewunmi Ogunsemore of the Forestry Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Bunmi Falodun, a civil servant with the FADAMA programme. On December 5, 2018, three workers of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Owo in Ondo State, were kidnapped by gunmen. A source gathered that the victims were abducted around the bad portion of the Owo-Ose-Akoko road. Source confirmed the incident to journalists in Akure, stating that many travellers, including children whose parents were driving through the Ogbese and Ilu-Abo road on the Akure-Owo road, were kidnapped. The abductors also raided some vehicles and their passengers and carted away valuables. Rahman Abubakri, a Senior Lecturer at the Mass Communication Department of the Rufus Giwa Polytechic Owo (RUGIPO), who also escaped being kidnapped by the gunmen ,confirmed the incident in a post on social media. Abubakri disclosed that another lecturer from Marketing Department of the polytechnic fell victim of the hoodlums who dragged him and the others into the thick forest. “Around 5:20pm on Saturday evening, I narrowly escaped being kidnapped around Ilu-Abo on my way to Akure after a wedding ceremony which I attended at Omuo Ekiti. Nigerians are under siege. I saw the Fulani shooting sporadically from a distance. The bushes and thick forests we don’t care to go into have been well-studied by these Fulanis. Unfortunately, some kids were taken away by the kidnappers,” he said. “[At] almost the same time, a lecturer of the Department of Marketing, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo was kidnapped by the same Fulani herdsmen between Ipele and Owo Road. Another kidnapping took place at Oba Akoko. Three persons fell victim as they were taken away into the bush. My colleagues missed being kidnapped on Friday evening.” Femi Joseph, spokesman of the Ondo State Police Command, confirmed the incident during a telephone chat. According to Joseph, the Commissioner of Police in the State, Gbenga Adeyanju, had already ordered a team of policemen to comb the area to ensure the rescue of the kidnapped persons. “Yes, it is true but we are on top of the situation as the Commissioner of Police has dispatched our men to the bushes around the incident of the zones in order to rescue those who have been kidnapped,” he said. “So, I can assure you that justice would surely be done to those who are behind these evil acts and those who might have been responsible, we shall bring them to justice.”

Involving Indigenous peoples and traditional knowledge into natural resource management produces more equitable and successful outcomes. Unfortunately, argue Anne Ross and co-authors, even many "progressive" methods fail to produce truly equal partnerships. This book offers a comprehensive and global overview of the theoretical, methodological, and practical dimensions of co-management. The authors critically evaluate the range of management options that claim to have integrated Indigenous peoples and knowledge, and then outline an innovative, alternative model of co-management, the Indigenous Stewardship Model. They provide detailed case studies and concrete details for application in a variety of contexts. Broad in coverage and uniting robust theoretical insights with applied detail, this book is ideal for scholars and students as well as for professionals in resource management and policy.

Days after his only two sons were killed in a car crash in Carson, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Kenneth Baxter on Friday remembered his adult children as "good guys" and said he was "heartbroken" over their deaths. Baxter, a 30-year LAPD veteran, was heading home Sunday morning after working an overnight shift at the department's Pacific Division when he received the devastating news that his sons were involved in a car crash and had died. “My world, and my family’s world – mom and everybody’s world – has been rocked upside-down," Baxter told KTLA Friday. "It hurts because we had two great kids.” The two-vehicle collision that took the lives of 26-year-old Christopher Baxter and 23-year-old Jonathan Baxter occurred about 2:20 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of Del Amo and Avalon boulevards. They were heading back home from basketball practice at the time, and had just dropped off some friends. The brothers may have been stopping to grab pizza when the deadly crash occurred, Baxter said. The other driver, who authorities have not yet identified, also died. Although he didn't have many details about the collision, Baxter said that the other car may have been speeding. The cause remains under investigation. “I’m heartbroken. I’m heartbroken. And they were such good guys. Our family is broken. Our community is broken," said Baxter as he visibly held back tears, his voice choked with emotion while speaking of his deceased sons. “As a law enforcement officer, I’ve had to give death notifications on many occasions, and my heart goes out to families. But nothing – never would I think it would come to my door like this, and to such good guys.” The Baxter brothers excelled at Verbum Dei High School in Watts, where they were also standout athletes and beloved members of the community, according to Baxter. They each went on to college and had dreams of playing in the NBA, he said. Both had played in the summer professional leagues every summer since the age of 18. Christopher and Jonathan Baxter also remained very involved and active on the Verbum Dei campus, even after graduating from the school in 2010 and 2012 respectively. A memorial service for the two men has been planned there for Saturday night. “A lot, we focus on the bad kids; these kids were loved,” Baxter said, noting that he had received calls from many of the men’s former teachers and other members of the community who knew them. He described his sons as "special young men" who had touched many people and were a "light to the world." Cameron Nash, a family friend, told KTLA the young men were best friends and inseparable; it was rare, he said, to see one brother without the other. “The community lost a pair of great guys," Nash said. Baxter told KTLA the loss had been painful for the family. “We’re people of faith, and we know we’re going to see them again,” he said. “And yet, it doesn’t lessen the pain. It doesn’t lessen the pain at all.” He continued: "I would give anything to have them back. Anything to have those young men back." Baxter teared up as he discussed the many things he had been looking forward to in his sons' lives, particularly as he neared retirement. “I was looking forward, really, in the near future, to spending time in retirement meeting my grandkids, meeting … meeting the daughters we’ll never have,” he said. Baxter also thanked everyone for the outpouring of support, which he said has been widespread.

The taco truck prediction is an old one though, and it dates back to the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln when Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request) envisioned a Nacho wagon on every corner. Shortly after Dickinson invented corn tortilla chips, his third cousin Emily used them in her original recipe for Cajun Nachos. When her first batch of Cajun Nachos came out of the oven, rumor has that she and her siblings couldn’t get enough! As a matter of fact, on the day she invented Cajun Nachos, Emily Dickinson wrote her poem “Mine – by the Right of the White Election!” (below) after she refused to share any of the first batch with her brother Austin and sister Lavinia. Mine – by the Right of the White Election! Mine – by the Royal Seal! Mine – by the Sign in the Scarlet prison – Bars – cannot conceal! Mine – here – in Vision – and in Veto! Mine – by the Grave's Repeal – Tilted – Confirmed – Mine – long as Ages steal! Pictured at the right: An excerpt from a letter written by Emily Dickinson on the morning she invented Cajun Nachos. Emmett Lee Dickinson also loved his third cousin’s treat, and he introduced them to his best friend, Abraham Lincoln. Dickinson recognized the power the treat would have over the electorate, so he and his brothers traveled the country with Nacho wagons, samples of Emily Dickinson’s Cajun Nachos, and the promise that, if elected, Lincoln would ensure Nacho wagons on every street corner! Pictured below left and right: Nacho wagons that Emmett Lee Dickinson and his brothers traveled the country with in 1860. The Dickinson brothers promised that if elected, Abraham Lincoln would provide Nacho Wagons on every street corner. Lincoln was all set to fulfill the Dickinsons' promise – until the attack on Fort Sumter and South Carolina’s secession from the Union. At that point, he turned his attention from Cajun Nachos to civil unrest.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Closter 5-24-1972 as Ord. No. 1972:232 (Ch. 86 of the 1967 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.] Fees and deposits — See Ch. A301. For the purpose of this chapter, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them by this section: - A hand-drawn or propelled vehicle or wheeled container made of metal, wood or otherwise, such as is generally provided by merchants for the carting or carrying to automobiles or other places of merchandise or foodstuffs. - PARKING YARD and PARKING PLACE - Any place which is open to the public or to which the public is invited, whether maintained or operated separately or in conjunction with any business or enterprise. - Such term shall include a person of either sex or a corporation, partnership, association or joint-stock company or societies and other entities capable of being sued. - STREET or SIDEWALK - Such terms shall include any street, avenue, road, alley, lane, highway, boulevard, concourse, driveway, culvert or crosswalk and every class of road, square, place, municipal park, parking field or area, parks or other places used by the general public and parking yard and parking place. It shall be unlawful for any person or his or her agent or employee to leave or to cause or permit or allow to be left any cart, either owned by him or her or in his or her possession, custody or control, upon any street or sidewalk. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove a cart, as herein defined, from the property of any food-dispensing establishment. At or before the close of business hours of any food establishment or commercial establishment providing carts for the use of its customers and patrons, the owner or operator of such food establishment or other commercial establishment shall remove all carts from its parking yard or parking place or the exterior of its premises and shall cause them to be removed to the interior of the commercial establishment. Upon the failure of any such owner or operator to so remove the carts to the interior of the premises at the close of its daily business hours, said carts may be removed by the borough in accordance with the provisions of § 162-5 and disposition made thereof in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The borough shall remove or cause to be removed any cart found upon any street or sidewalk and shall take the same or cause the same to be taken to property or premises of the borough where the same shall be held until redeemed or sold, as provided in this chapter. Whenever the borough shall receive any cart containing identification of ownership or right to possession, a notice shall be sent by ordinary mail to such person, advising that such cart is held by the borough and advising the amount necessary to redeem. Any impounded cart may be redeemed by the owner thereof at any time prior to the sale, dismantling, destruction or disposal thereof, and he or she shall be entitled to receive such cart upon tendering the sum set forth in Chapter A301, Fees and Deposits. In addition, the person seeking to redeem shall pay the cost of advertising the sale thereof, if any. No cart shall be delivered to a person seeking to redeem it unless proof establishing to the satisfaction of the borough such person's ownership or right to possession is submitted. Any delivery to a person apparently entitled thereto shall be a good defense to the borough against any other person claiming to be entitled thereto. The person to whom delivery ought to have been made may recover the same with interest and costs from the person to whom the same shall have been delivered. Where any impounded cart remains in the custody of the borough for a period of fifteen (15) days after impoundment and with respect to which no person has presented to the borough proof establishing to its satisfaction such person's ownership or right to possession, the Borough Clerk shall give public notice in the official newspaper of the borough advising that at a specified place and time, not less than five (5) days after such notice is published, such cart shall be sold at public auction for the best price to be obtained. A general description in such notice of the cart to be sold shall be sufficient. Such sale shall be conducted by the Borough Clerk or by such person as he or she may designate. In the event that any impounded cart shall remain unsold at public auction, the borough may reoffer such cart for sale at a subsequent public auction held pursuant to this chapter or it may dismantle, destroy or otherwise sell or dispose of such cart. Any such sale or other disposition of such cart pursuant to this chapter shall be without liability on the part of the borough to the owner of such cart or other person lawfully entitled thereto or having interest therein. Immediately after an impounded cart is redeemed, the borough shall pay over to the Borough Treasurer the amount received for redemption costs and expenses of the article redeemed, together with an itemized statement thereof. Immediately after a sale or other disposition of such cart, the Borough Clerk or person designated by him or her shall pay over to the Borough Treasurer the proceeds of sale or other disposition of such cart, with an itemized statement of the article sold, the price received and the costs and expenses of sale, and the Borough Treasurer shall retain such proceeds and credit them to the general fund. Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be punished as set forth in Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article II, Violations and Penalties, of this Code. This shall be in addition to any fees for redemption of such property or costs of public sale chargeable to an owner or person entitled to possession of such property as hereinbefore provided.

A better way to publish music Unlike the paper publishers, MHP has no reason to publish scores based only on what seems to be selling at the time. Our criteria is quality music. That’s it. Without an overhead, we can afford to do it that way and it seems to be working. If you have music you’ve written, drop us a line and perhaps yours will be the newest score we publish. A better way to buy sheet music. Shop from home. By using the “Scorch” view option, see and hear the music as it scrolls by. By using the “seView” option, which is universally viewable with all browsers, see a PDF file of the music and listen to an MP3 recording if the composer has uploaded one. Use one of these tabs to review the score before you buy, all from your own computer or iPad, using the Scorch app. Transpose it to just the right key if necessary, and then print it from your own printer. Our company offers music in a variety of genres from piano solos in five levels of difficulty to full instrumental ensembles. We offer both sacred and secular music, including a line of free easy classics and simplified hymn arrangements. A better way to see what’s new. If you would like to be notified whenever we publish a new score in your own instrumentation or style, please write to us (see “Contact Us” in the right sidebar of this page). In the body of your message, please indicate which categories interest you most. Otherwise, we’ll let you know about all of our new scores. But we promise to keep your email address private and to use it for no other reason.

The opinion of the court was delivered by: Reagan, District Judge Plaintiff, currently an inmate in the Menard Correctional Center, brings this action for deprivations of his constitutional rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff previously was granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and he has tendered his initial partial filing fee as ordered. In this action, Plaintiff sets forth twelve separate claims, as summarized here for clarity. COUNT 1: Against Defendants Garnett and Walker for unjustified cell searches and destruction of his property, in violation of his rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. COUNT 2: Against Defendants Garnett, Walker and Hile for tampering with his mail, in violation of his rights under the First Amendment. COUNT 3: Against Defendants Garnett, Hodges, Walker and Hile for unfairly placing him in administrative segregation, in violation of his rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. COUNT 4: Against Defendant Caine for harassment, in violation of his rights under the Eighth Amendment. COUNT 5: Against Defendants Garnett, Walker and Hile for racial segregation, in violation of his rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. COUNT 6: Against Defendants Doe and Hoskinson for interfering with his legal mail, in violation of his rights under the First Amendment. COUNT 7: Against Defendants Garnett, Moran, Walker and Hile for improperly addressing his grievances, in violation of his rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. COUNT 8: Against Defendant McCorkle for interfering with his access to the courts, in violation of his rights under the First Amendment. COUNT 9: Against Defendant Jokisch for violating his rights under FOIA and the Eighth Amendment. COUNT 10: Against Defendants Mensing, Waitz, Harris and Garnett for excessive force and wrongful placement in segregation, in violation of his rights under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. COUNT 11: Against Defendants Garnett, Walker and Hile for deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs, in violation of his rights under the Eighth Amendment. COUNT 12: Against Defendants Garnett, Walker, Hile and Harris for placing him in controlled segregation, in violation of his rights under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. This case is now before the Court for a preliminary review of the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, which provides: (a) Screening.-- The court shall review, before docketing, if feasible or, in any event, as soon as practicable after docketing, a complaint in a civil action in which a prisoner seeks redress from a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. (b) Grounds for Dismissal.-- On review, the court shall identify cognizable claims or dismiss the complaint, or any portion of the complaint, if the complaint-- (1) is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted; or (2) seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. An action or claim is frivolous if "it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact." Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989). Upon careful review of the complaint and any supporting exhibits, the Court finds it appropriate to exercise its authority under § 1915A; this action is legally frivolous and thus subject to summary dismissal. Plaintiff's first claim involves daily "cell compliance checks" at Lawrence Correctional Center, which he claims are actually cell shake-downs in which his property is damaged or confiscated. Due to these regular searches, Plaintiff has had to throw out over $300 worth of food which was contaminated or destroyed, and he has spent close to $100 on laundry detergent to wash his clothes that were dirtied by officers' muddy boots and shoes. The only constitutional right that might be implicated by these facts is Plaintiff's right, under the Fourteenth Amendment, to be free from deprivations of his property by state actors without due process of law. To state a claim under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Plaintiff must establish a deprivation of liberty or property without due process of law; if the state provides an adequate remedy, Plaintiff has no civil rights claim. Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 530-36 (1984) (availability of damages remedy in state claims court is an adequate, post-deprivation remedy). The Seventh Circuit has found that Illinois provides an adequate post-deprivation remedy in an action for damages in the Illinois Court of Claims. Murdock v. Washington, 193 F.3d 510, 513 (7th Cir. 1999); Stewart v. McGinnis, 5 F.3d 1031, 1036 (7th Cir. 1993); 705 ILCS 505/8 (1995). Accordingly, Plaintiff has no claim under Section 1983, and Count 1 is dismissed from this action with prejudice. Plaintiff's next claim is that Defendants Garnett, Walker and Hile allow prison staff to open and screen all inmates' incoming and outgoing mail, and that often the prison staff tampers with or destroys grievances contained in that outgoing mail. Inmates have a First Amendment right both to send and receive mail, Rowe v. Shake, 196 F.3d 778, 782 (7th Cir. 1999), but that right does not preclude prison officials from examining mail to ensure that it does not contain contraband, Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. ...

*The following is excerpted from an online article posted on HealthDay. Hoverboards may look cool, flashy and fun, but they’re less safe than you might think. Nearly 27,000 kids landed in the emergency room from a hoverboard accident during the first two years the self-balancing, two-wheeled motorized scooters were sold in the United States, according to a new study. While it pales in comparison with the more than 121,000 skateboard injuries during the same period, the number shows kids need to be careful on hoverboards, said lead researcher Dr. Sean Bandzar. “Kids should wear protective gear, and parents should monitor their kids while they’re using these toys,” he said. Bandzar is an emergency physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical Center, all in New York City. He and his colleagues decided to investigate hoverboard injuries after noticing an uptick in cases following the toy’s 2015 introduction into the U.S. market. “When I was working in the children’s emergency department, I noticed that there were a lot of kids who would come in with a variety of different injures from these hoverboards,” Bandzar said. The highest number occurred among 12-year-old boys, the researchers discovered when they studied national injury data from 2015 and 2016. Kids most often suffered fractures (40 percent), bruises (17 percent) and strains or sprains (13 percent). Body parts most often injured were the wrist (19 percent), forearm (14 percent) and head (14 percent). Interestingly, only three burn-related injuries connected with hoverboards were reported. The potential that hoverboard batteries would malfunction and catch fire caused so much concern early on that some airlines banned them. But none of the burn injuries researchers discovered was related to battery fires. Two burns resulted from colliding with a pot of boiling water in the kitchen, and the other was a friction burn after a hoverboard ran over a child’s finger. Two physicians not connected with the study said there are other factors to be considered when discussing hoverboard injuries. Part of the problem could be that kids ride hoverboards while distracted, said Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician with Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. “Many teens multitask and are therefore distracted while on the hoverboard — listening to music, playing video games or texting on their smartphones,” Glatter said. Emergency physician Dr. Brahim Ardolic suggested the study probably does not account for all hoverboard injuries. “This essentially amounts to 36 injuries each day over two years,” said Ardolic, chairman of emergency medicine for Staten Island University Hospital in New York City. “When you consider that these devices utilize balance and are often purchased by people who have never used one, these injury rates are actually lower than I would expect.” By looking at only injuries treated in an ER, the researchers probably overlooked many low-level injuries that didn’t require medical attention, Ardolic said. The study was published online March 26 in the journal Pediatrics.

Republican Neel Kashkari got what may be his only debate against Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown Thursday night - and neither candidate shied away from attacking the other. The debate came two months before Election Day, during the National Football League season opener, in a cramped TV studio across the street from the state Capitol. Kashkari came out firing. “I think Gov. Brown means well, but his 40 years in government have left him out of touch with the struggles of working families. He’s declared a California comeback, and yet our middle class is all but destroyed.” Brown pushed back, seizing on a question about Kashkari trailing by 16 points in a new poll. “I think the question was: How do you expect to win, Neel? And I’ll tell you, you don’t really have much expectation to win, because things have been accomplished in Sacramento.” Brown repeatedly jabbed at Kashkari’s investment banking career and leadership of the federal government’s bank bailout program. “I feel like I’m getting a sales pitch from, I don’t know whom. Yeah, Neel – well, you learned your job well there, working at Goldman Sachs and the rest of the people who wrecked the economy,” Brown said. “You bailed them out, though, it’s kind of like the arsonist putting out the fire – I really appreciate that.” Kashkari mocked the governor for some of the bills Brown is signing into law. “Plastic bags is not gonna do it,” he said. “Bringing my dogs to a restaurant is not gonna do it. And neither is regulating football practice or soccer or baseball. We need to actually put people back to work, Governor.” But at the heart of the debate were two very different views of California’s recovery. “Our state was in a shambles. They were calling it a failed state. Well, it’s back. It’s not all the way back – and he likes to createthe construct that if we’re not perfect, we’re not making progress. We are making incremental process,” Brown said. “You know, Governor,” Kashkari countered, “you say, oh, you’re making incremental changes. We’re 46th in education. We’re 44th for jobs. We’re number one in poverty. The time for incremental has long since passed, Governor. We actually need bold reforms to rebuild the middle class.” This may have been Kashkari’s best chance to reach California voters. Brown has a huge fundraising advantage and has indicated that this debate will be the only one.

By JOHN FLESHER AP Environmental Writer TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — A U.S.-Canadian panel urged both nations Friday to consider installing water retention structures to boost levels on Lake Huron and Lake Michigan, which fell to their lowest point on record in January and have lagged well below their historical average since the late 1990s. The International Joint Commission, which advises the two federal governments about shared waterways, called for a study of placing inflatable gates or other devices in the St. Clair River, the outlet at the southern end of Lake Huron. Officials have acknowledged that dredging, gravel mining and other human activities eroded the river bottom in the last century, accelerating the volume that flowed out of Lake Huron toward Lake Erie. Owners of Huron shoreline property, particularly in Canada’s Georgian Bay, have demanded action for years to offset the losses, although federal scientists say rising evaporation and declining rain and snow are the biggest reasons for the lake’s drop-off. In a letter to the governments, the commission proposed investigating ways to raise Huron and Michigan by 5 to 10 inches. Although considered two separate lakes, they are connected by a 5-mile-wide strait and are the same elevation above sea level. “Although future water levels are uncertain, we cannot ignore the damage” already done from record lows, said Joe Comuzzo, chairman of the Canadian delegation to the commission. Although not endorsing specific measures, the panel suggested focusing on adjustable devices that could be activated during low-water periods when outflow from Lake Huron needs to be reduced and deactivated when there’s danger that water could get too high. The commission has six members, three from both countries, although one of the Canadian positions is vacant. Four of them signed the report. Lana Pollack, head of the U.S. delegation, declined to endorse it because she said it might give “false hopes” that artificial structures could solve the low-water problem. While much of the document is praiseworthy, it understates the role climate change has played and says too little about the need for governments to help people adapt, she said. “The public really needs to understand what we’re doing to our Great Lakes by pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and creating climate change,” Pollack said in a telephone interview. Great Lakes levels fluctuate seasonally and have risen and fallen significantly over the decades, but now are in a prolonged low-water period. Huron and Michigan have suffered the biggest drop-offs. When they set a record in January, they were 29 inches below their long-term average and had declined 17 inches within a year. They have risen slightly since then, helped by heavy snowfall and rain. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it would take a number of unusually wet years to restore the lakes to normal. Studies have shown that Huron and Michigan fell by 10 to 16 inches because of dredging and other activities as late as the 1960s. Congress authorized steps to slow the flow from Lake Huron and the corps produced options in 1972, including miniature dams and sills that resemble speed bumps along the river bottom. But nothing was done because by then a three-decade-long rising trend was underway. Mary Muter, co-director of a group called Restore Our Water International, said the commission’s support for boosting levels was “excellent news.” In addition to placing artificial devices in the river, the governments should spread rock rubble along the bottom to prevent further erosion, she said. “If we can bring the levels back up a bit and then let them fluctuate naturally, that’s been our goal from day one,” she said. But another advocacy group, Georgian Bay Forever, said the proposal was “limited and ineffective.” It would not boost levels enough to help the shipping industry, which has lightened cargo loads to avoid running around, executive director David Sweetnam said. “Add to this the impact on agriculture, tourism, water quality and a host of other stakeholders, and the costs of inadequate action to the region’s $5.1 trillion economy may total many billions of dollars,” he said.

Hard-To-Get Coupes Finished In Matte Gray Or Matte Black With a decidedly more sinister look than last year’s ferocious M3 Tiger, BMW’s newest limited edition M3 Coupe is set to arrive in China just in time for spring. Sporting a unique matte paint job, only 40 “Frosted Edition” M3s will be available in China, 20 in black and 20 in gray. Bolstered by the success of the China-only M3 Tiger, all 30 of which sold out instantly last September, as well as the popularity of the “M Legend Experience Day” event held in four cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu) last December, it was likely an easy choice for BMW to introduce its “Frosted Edition” M3 to one of the company’s most important markets. Despite their hefty price tag of 1.2 million yuan (US$187,000), expect these all-black (or all-gray) cars to be snapped up almost as quickly as they arrive in the country.

In today’s world, everyone feels the need to stand out and differentiate themselves in order to grab attention. This article is not intended to simply add another voice to the noise, but to let you know as simply as possible what we are all about. We know that our approach is the only way for your accountant to give your business something uniquely valuable, which is why we will always stay true to our philosophy. Everyone thinks they’re different, whereas we exist to make a difference. The Four Corners There are four fundamental elements to our approach, and perhaps unsurprisingly they are known as the Four Corners that form the foundation of everything we do. Like all foundations, each part is vital and we couldn’t give you the unrivalled insight you deserve without all of them. This is why we have total commitment to this philosophy at all times. But what does it mean in practice? We build everything from the bottom up to make sure that it fits your requirements perfectly. From the contents of our service packages, to the measures in our reports, to the format of our communication – everything is designed around your specific needs and preferences. We know that everyone has their own motivation for their business, their own set of values, and their own definition of success. Gone are the days when the profit motive is the all-conquering imperative. Good financial management and efficient use of your resources is still crucial – naturally – but it is a means to an end rather than the goal in itself. Healthy business finances allow you to achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve in your business – and with our bespoke approach we ensure that you get the balance just right. Prioritising elements of financial management alongside your specific non-financial goals means you have everything you need to succeed in every sense of the word. By being true to our belief that one size does not fit all, we make sure that everything we do is relevant for you. This means zero waste – no reporting or measures that you don’t need distracting your attention. It is as effective, efficient, and usable as it could possibly be – freeing up the maximum amount of your time to focus on the running of the business. This may sound obvious, but in fact most people still focus most of their attention on the past. Looking at your latest set of accounts, or tax returns, or VAT submissions will only tell you about the period that has long since closed. We like to think of this as your rear-view mirror. Of course it’s important to glance in the mirror often to make sure you know what is going on and everything is safe, but you wouldn’t drive using just that mirror. In fact, the focus of your attention is out the front, looking at the road ahead, as it should be. Only by keeping your head up and focused on the horizon can you expect to stay ahead of the game, to make good decisions, and to have peace of mind. Cutting edge forecasting is one element of this, but it goes much further. Even the historical data in your business can reveal hidden trends and future consequences if you look closely enough, and we look closely. We cleverly combine data of all types from all over your business to reveal unrivalled insights about the future. This means we can tell you what is around the corner, not what you have just driven past. Not normally a word associated with accountants – at least not in a good way – but we are proud of our creative approach and the benefits it brings you. Ultimately this is what underpins our unique Little Big Data® process, but it is a way of thinking that lends itself to businesses of all sizes. We take in data from all areas and we see trends and points of interest that others don’t. We see emerging risks early enough to deal with, we see potential opportunities before your competition, and we see points of real interest that can spark inspiration for you in how you want to run your business. We are creative not just in the data we use, the analysis we run, and the measures we look at, but also in the way that we present that back to you. Everything we find through our creative analysis is displayed in easy-to-digest formats built around your own preferred style. Being able to actually use the findings is very important to us, so we put as much effort in to this as everything else. Connected is a word that describes a lot of what we are about. Our success comes from connecting seemingly disparate data types in innovative ways to reveal trends, insights, and opportunities. Just as important, though, is our connection to you. We are not a distant accountant who simply provides you with a report every now and then. We are a trusted partner and a sounding board with over 20 years’ experience to help with all of your difficult decisions. We are obsessive about your understanding – about connecting you to the results in a way that you will deeply appreciate. After all, all of our unique qualities and unrivalled insight count for nothing if we are the only ones who understand the results. It is important to us that you are able to act on the findings and for them to make a real difference to your business. It’s about teaching you to fish, rather than giving you a fish. Ultimately, we connect raw data to insight to actions to results – and that is what will give you the edge.

Rejoice Mac owners. Apple has finally made available to download macOS 10.12.4 final version, bringing an end to a period of beta testing – two to be exact – which has included registered macOS developers of Apple Developer Program, and public testers enrolled in the Apple Beta Software Program. The success of that testing process has finally put macOS 10.12.4 in a place where it’s publicly ready for download and use. It’s always a visual treat when you open up the Mac App Store and see that one of the available updates is actually a major macOS improvement. It’s even better when you know that the version being offered, supersedes your current OS version, and actually packs some tangible features and improvements rather than just under-the-hood bug-fixes and performance improvements. One of the most interesting improvements, albeit not the most useful for the majority of users, is that macOS is now capable of actually reading embedded data stored on a Windows EXE file. Rather than being a useless file, macOS now reads that information and makes things a little more presentable by using the actual logo or icon associated with that file. Apple has also taken things further in the right direction with macOS 10.12.4 by introducing Night Shift mode to change the display temperature of Macs at night, as well as bringing more power to developers by allowing them to directly respond to App Store reviews for their apps. This should hopefully take some friction away between developers and app users by allowing conflict to be resolved in a better manner. Lucky owners of MacBook and iMac hardware can download and install macOS 10.12.4 right now without delay. Those familiar with how macOS works, will understand that they can simply head on over to the Mac App Store right now and select the Updates tab. This should instantly pull through the latest macOS 10.12.4 update and initiate the update process. Of course a full reboot of the machine will be required as and when the install finishes. If you have become excited, and acted immediately, then it is highly possible that the update may not actually be showing in the Mac App Store just yet depending on your region. Exercise some patience and keep checking the Mac App Store back as it will most definitely appear.

Chapter 7 Discharges Debts, Provides a "Fresh Start" When you hear the word "bankruptcy," it probably means a Chapter 7 proceeding. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your assets (other than your exempt assets) are gathered together and sold. Any unsecured debt that isn't paid off from the sale proceeds is discharged, giving the debtor a debt-free fresh start. Traditionally, Chapter 7 has been the most common type of bankruptcy proceeding. It is available to an individual, a partnership, or a corporation or other business entity. Chapter 7 is one of the three major options for relief under the bankruptcy code. It differs from Chapter 13 and Chapter 11 plans in that it is a liquidation bankruptcy, while the other two are reorganization bankruptcies. In Chapter 7 bankrutpcy, your non-exempt, unsecured assets will be sold and converted to cash, with the proceeds going to pay the costs of administering the case and to pay off your creditors. Most debts that can not paid off from the liquidation of all of your assets are discharged--that is, eliminated. In addition, the bankruptcy filing causes an automatic stay of any collection efforts by creditors. This is welcome relief for beleaguered debtors. However, debtors should be aware that creditors, especially those with secured claims who are not being paid, can request that the automatic stay be lifted if foreclosure or repossession is an inevitability. There will be a trustee appointed whose job it is to round up your assets and dispose of them for the benefit of your creditors. Depending upon where you live, you may well end up losing some of your property. Make sure that you consult the exemption rules for your state to understand what you have at stake. Also, you should have the advice of an attorney who is experienced with business bankruptcy and not a "bankruptcy mill" that churns out individual Chapter 7s and Chapter 13s. Exempt or Secured Assets Are Not Sold Your exempt assets are excluded from the assets that must be sold. The amount that you can "exempt" from sale depends upon your state of residence and whether that state allows you to take advantage of the federal bankruptcy exemptions, rather than your state's exemptions. Because consensual liens that are secured by specific property, such as mortgages or car loans, cannot be discharged, you must either continue to pay these debts or surrender the property to the creditor. Usually, these consensual liens will encumber enough of the value of the property, so that the remaining value will fit within an asset exemption. A home may have mortgages and home equity loans that cover 90 percent of its value, and the remaining 10 percent may be protected by the homestead exemption. Thus, a sale of the asset would generate no proceeds for the other creditors. Accordingly, in typical cases, these assets are not sold, and in fact are retained by the debtor, who continues to pay off the liens. With the exempt assets and encumbered assets removed from the pool, there are usually no assets available to the unsecured creditors who, in many cases, will be banks holding credit card accounts. The end result will be that these unsecured creditors will receive nothing, and the debts they are owed will be discharged. Public Policy Bars Discharge of Certain Debts Although most unsecured debt can be discharged, the law forbids the discharge of certain debts for public policy reasons. These include: - alimony and child support - most student loans - most federal, state and local taxes - debts incurred through fraud or false statements within one year (and possibly as much as four years) before the bankruptcy action - fines and penalties for violating the law - debts for purchases of more than $500 in luxury goods or services (or loans of more than $750 on an open-end credit plan) from a single creditor within 60 days of filing for bankruptcy - debts not listed on the bankruptcy petition. Timing Your Bankruptcy Filing Is Critically Important While bankruptcy is generous in providing a fresh start, the rules are strict and must be followed precisely, or you can end up with mountains of debt and no way to escape. Among the timing issues to be considered in a Chapter 7 filing: - Tax debts. If you have any tax debts, the timing for filing the petition is absolutely critical! While many tax debts are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, some are depending upon when the taxes were assessed and the petition was filed. If you have any tax debts, cross-examine any potential bankruptcy attorney regarding which debts are dischargeable and how much time must elapse before the petition is filed. There are hundreds of cases where the debtor is stuck with otherwise dischargeable debts because the attorney filed the petition one or two days to soon. - After-acquired assets and income. Certain income and assets acquired after a Chapter 7 filing may be included in your bankruptcy estate if you do not plan properly. - Recent asset transfers. Any recent transfers of assets will be examined, and may be undone, so you should proceed carefully. Do You Qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Not every individual who is in debt is eligible to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. To prevent abuse of the system (and the creditors,) there is a means test. The means test is designed to force those debtors who (1) have primarily consumer debt and (2) have the ability to pay some of their debts to do so. These individuals are denied the "clean slate" of Chapter 7 liquidation and forced into a five-year repayment plan under Chapter 13. The means test is based on your "current monthly income" as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. This is your average monthly income received over the six calendar months immediately before you filed your bankruptcy petition. If you are filing a "joint petition" with your spouse, his or her income is included as well. Also, included are any regular contributions to your household expenses from other sources except social security income or certain crime-victim payments. You must file Form B 22A, Chapter 7 Statement of Current Monthly Income and Means-Test Calculation, when you file your bankruptcy petition. This will establish whether you are exempt from the means test and, if not, whether you met the test. The form walks you through the calculation of your current monthly income and allowable expenses, but these are the four required steps. Are your debts primarily "consumer debts?" If the answer is "no" because your business is the primary reason you are facing bankruptcy, then you do not have to worry about the means test. You would check Box 1B on your Form 22A. You can skip over the next questions. However, if you are facing bankruptcy because of personal credit card expenses, medical expenses or non-business judgments against you, continue to the next Is your "current monthly income" lower than the your state's median family income? If your income is lower than the median for your state, you've passed the means test and can skip the next questions. If your income is higher, then continue to the next question. What is your monthly disposable income? You determine your monthly disposable income by subtracting living expense amounts that have been established by the IRS. National standards are used for food, clothing, and health care, whereas local standards are used for housing, utility, and transportation expenses. These national and local standards apply, regardless of whether your own expenses are more or less than the standard amounts, although certain additional adjustments are permitted. Multiply the result by 60 to determine the amount of disposable income projected to be available over the next five years. (These amounts are adjusted every three years. The last adjustment was April 1, 2013.) - Is your disposable income less than $7,025? If so, there is no presumption of abuse of the bankruptcy system and the "means test" will not bar you from proceeding with your Chapter 7 liquidation. If not, continue to the next question. - Is your disposable income more than $11,725? If so, you are considered to have the means to make some level of payment to existing creditors--you have flunked the means test and are likely to be required to proceed with a Chapter 13 reorganization. - Is your disposable income is at least $7,025 but not more then $11,725? It's not clear whether you have passed or failed the means test--continue to the next question. Is your disposable income less than 25 percent of your unsecured debt? To determine this, total up the amounts that you owe that are not secured by property. For example, credit card debt is unsecured debt; but a car loan generally is not. Then, multiply this total by 0.25. If the result is more than your disposable income, then there is a presumption of abuse. If it is less, there is no presumption of abuse and you can proceed with a Chapter 7 liquidation. There are ways to appeal the presumption of abuse, but, in general, if you fail the means test you may well be better off considering other options. In The means test does allow special accommodations for active-duty military personnel, low-income veterans and those with serious medical conditions. It also does not apply to corporate or In addition to the means test, an individual seeking to file Chapter 7 must complete a credit counseling course, unless he or she is incapacitated, disabled, or on active duty in a military zone. Bankruptcy Estate May Include After-acquired Income, Preferential Transfers Filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy creates a "bankruptcy estate" that is administered by a bankruptcy trustee. This estate technically becomes the temporary legal owner of all your property, including all legal or equitable interests you have in property as of filing of the petition, including property owned or held by another person if you have an interest in the property. The primary role of a Chapter 7 trustee is to liquidate your nonexempt assets in a way that brings in the most money for your unsecured creditors. Certain After-acquired Income Belongs to Bankruptcy Estate The filing date of the bankruptcy petition is line of demarcation. Everything you owned as of that date is no longer yours: it belongs to the bankruptcy estate. And, most property acquired after that date is yours. Thus, wages and other sources of income, including self-employment income, earned and received after the Chapter 7 bankruptcy action begins generally are excluded from the proceeding. Given this fact, a debtor who works on a contract basis (e.g., a building contractor) could postpone forming any lucrative contracts until after the proceeding commences. Similarly, where only one spouse works, planned employment for the other spouse should begin only after the action is filed. In these situations, it is better to wait until after the action is completed (not just filed), if at all possible, to avoid any allegation of fraud. After-acquired assets can become part of the bankruptcy estate. Although nearly all assets earned and received after the proceeding begins are excluded from the bankruptcy, there are a few exceptions. These are: - property received through inheritance - property received as a result of a pre-bankruptcy divorce or legal separation settlement - life insurance or other death benefits - tax refunds related to pre-bankruptcy filing tax years These assets are brought back into the bankruptcy action if they are received during the proceeding or within six months of the final discharge. Thus, if an inheritance were anticipated, the debtor should obtain a legal opinion establishing the inheritance, and then consider filing the action immediately so that the inheritance would be received after the six-month period. Similar timing issues revolve around divorce. There is generally little you can do about the timing of life insurance payments or death benefits. Trustee Can Avoid Preferential Transfers Once the petition is filed and the bankruptcy estate is created, the bankruptcy trustee will begin to "marshall" the estate's assets. The trustee has the power to undo ("avoid") a transfer of money or property that occurred before the bankruptcy was filed if these transfers are considered "preferential" transfers. These "preferential transfers" will be brought back into a Chapter 7 bankruptcy action and included in the assets available for liquidation. Although the trustee's powers are far-reaching, they are not unlimited. In order to "avoid" the transfer, all the following conditions must be met. - There must have been a transfer. - The transfer must have been for the benefit of the creditor. - The transfer must have been made to satisfy a pre-existing debt. - The debtor must have been insolvent at the time of the transfer. - The transfer must have taken place within 90 days prior to the bankruptcy filing (or within one year if the creditor is an "insider" under bankruptcy law.) - The creditor received more as a result of the transfer than would have been received under the bankruptcy distribution of assets. As a business owner, it is possible that you could be on the receiving end of the transfer, rather than in the role of the bankruptcy debtor. If you receive payment for goods and services from a company that files for bankruptcy the next week, then you may have the U.S. Trustee knocking on your door to recover the payment you received. "Intent to defraud" is not necessary for a transfer to be "preferential." It doesn't matter if you acted in good faith or not. If you find yourself in this position, there are actions you can take to prevent the trustee from nullifying the transfer and requiring you to stand in line with all the other creditors. Look to see if all the requirements for a preferential transfer are met. If they are (which is likely,) then, you may be able to assert one or more of the following defenses: "course of business," "new value," "contemporaneous exchange," and "purchase money security interest." The rules for claiming these defenses can be complex, so it is advisable to consult an attorney who is experienced in business law--ideally in creditor's rights law. When possible, then, transfers to insiders should be planned and carried out more than a year before the action is filed. In theory, however, bankruptcy courts can go back in time (in some cases as much as four years) and undo transfers proved to be fraudulent. However tempting it may seem to transfer your assets to avoid having them distributed in bankruptcy, it can be a very costly strategy. transfer is found to be "fraudulent," then you may expose yourself to a number of painful consequences, ranging from denial of a bankruptcy discharge to jail time in extreme cases. Of course, not all transfers are fraudulent, but if you are contemplating asset transfers and are tettering on the edge of insolvency, work with an attorney to ensure the best course of action. Discharging Personal Liability in Chapter 7 In a Chapter 7 filing, the debtor's personal liability for dischargeable debts is erased. However, liens that are not subject to elimination (i.e., most consensual and statutory liens) survive the discharge. This is why a homeowner must continue to pay the mortgages on his home, or face foreclosure, even after a Chapter 7 action is The distinction between dischargeable debt and the surviving lien on property can be important when the debtor surrenders the property, and the amount of the liens exceeds the value of the property. John Smith owns a home with a value of $100,000 that is subject to mortgage liens totaling $150,000. Because these liens cannot be eliminated, or (generally) even bifurcated, if Smith intends to keep his home, he will have to pay the $150,000 in mortgages. Once his Chapter 7 discharge is final, Smith will have no personal liability for the mortgages. The liens will, nevertheless, still attach to the home. Thus, if Smith wants to retain the home, he will still have to pay the mortgages. If he has defaulted on the mortgages, and he wants to reinstate them by paying the arrearage over time, he may have to file in Chapter 13. Alternatively, Smith can surrender the home. If he does so, he will not be liable for the $50,000 mortgage deficiency, as he has no personal liability for the mortgages after the discharge. Some states provide a somewhat similar provision. In some states, a debtor has no personal liability for a deficiency judgment that results from a foreclosure of a purchase-money mortgage. Note that this state provision is very narrow in scope because: - It only applies in some states. - It only applies on purchase-money (first) mortgages. It usually does not apply to second mortgages, or refinancings, which are far more likely to cause a deficiency. - For the provision to apply, the debtor must lose his or her home in foreclosure. Nevertheless, debtors who face the loss of their home through foreclosure of a first mortgage should be aware that, in some states, it may be possible to eliminate any deficiency judgment, without resorting to bankruptcy. Debtors in this situation should consult an attorney on the best way to proceed in the particular state in question. What Are the After-Effects of Bankruptcy When concluded, a bankruptcy filing remains on the debtor's credit report for 10 years. However, the damage to the debtor's credit rating may be mitigated by other factors. For example, most debtors are unaware that FHA, the federal agency that insures millions of mortgages, has one of the most liberal polices concerning bankruptcy and me mortgages. Generally, the FHA only precludes debtors from obtaining a new FHA mortgage for two years from the discharge date of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, provided the debtor has an otherwise acceptable credit standing during the two-year period. Because a home is typically the largest purchase individuals make, debtors should realize that financing for a new home may still be available shortly after the bankruptcy action is completed. It is important to list all debts in a bankruptcy filing, as debts not listed cannot be discharged. However, some debtors retain a credit card with a very low (or no) balance, but a large credit line, by purposely omitting the debt from the filing, to ensure they will have future credit available. On the other hand, many banks periodically check customer's credit reports. If this is done, the card will likely be canceled anyway. Such an action could also jeopardize the bankruptcy discharge, for it smacks of fraud. Any recent shuffling of debt from the card retained to the listed cards is likely to be attacked as fraudulent. This is especially true if it happened in the year leading to the bankruptcy. However, if planned well in advance, and before any financial difficulties arise, an extra card held in reserve will be effective. This card can be used only infrequently, and then only for small purchases, to keep it active. (See our discussion of timing and related issues involving transfers.)

Editor’s note: Living in the Colorado high country is pure joy. Baking in it isn’t. High altitude makes cookies spread in the pan, cakes fall and few baked goods turn out as they do at sea level. This twice-monthly column presents recipes and tips to make baking in the mountains successful. This lush French-style chocolate mousse is as classic and elegant as a little black dress; it turns any meal into a special occasion. It’s one of my go-to desserts during the holidays because it’s a fancy dessert that doesn’t act like one; it comes together in about 20 minutes, is ready to eat after an hour in the ’fridge and can wait up to a full day before being served. It’s a great choice when you want to prepare a celebratory dinner but have limited time. While not time consuming or difficult to make, there are several things critical to its success: 1. Use a high-quality chocolate (one you’d eat out of hand) with a cacao percentage no higher than 62 percent. 2. Be sure to keep the eggs in a liquid state while they’re heating, that’s essential to the mousse’s spectacular texture. And 3. The dessert’s richness calls for small servings, so keep in mind that more is not better; I think it’s perfect presented in two-ounce ramekins. Some recipes that require a kitchen thermometer can easily be made without one, but I always use one here. Heating the eggs to the precise temperature specified eliminates any risk of salmonella exposure. Ooh-La-La Chocolate Mousse Makes six 2-ounce or four 4-ounce servings. Recipe can be doubled 4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate 1⁄3 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon brandy, liqueur, or rum (optional) 2 large eggs at room temperature 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, preferably Baker’s Pinch table salt 1 tablespoon water Sweetened whipped cream White sugar sprinkles (optional) Step 1: Get out the ramekins you plan to use. Once it’s prepared, you want to transfer the mousse to them quickly, before it starts setting up. Have an instant-read thermometer close at hand. Step 2: Finely chop the chocolate (I do this in a food processor) and combine it with the heavy cream in a microwavable bowl. Microwave on low heat (I use No. 3 in a range from 1-10 for about a minute) until the chocolate is almost all melted. Remove from the heat and stir until completely smooth and shiny. (Alternately, place the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl and place it in a skillet of simmering water and stir until blended and smooth.) Remove from the heat, stir in the alcohol if you’re using it, and set aside. Step 3: If you used a microwave to melt the chocolate and cream, then put about 1 1/2 inches of water in a skillet and bring it to a low boil. Whisk the eggs, sugar and salt in a heatproof glass or stainless steel bowl only until combined (don’t continue until they froth). Add the tablespoon of water and whisk again. Set the bowl in the slowly-boiling water; insert your thermometer and heat, stirring constantly, preferably with a silicone spatula, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees. (Heating the eggs in this manner assures that they are safe to eat.) Be sure to stir with sufficient vigor to prevent the eggs from scrambling during this step. The mixture must remain smooth and liquid. As soon as the proper temperature is achieved, remove the bowl from the hot water. Step 4: Immediately, beat the egg mixture with an electric mixer until it more than doubles in size, becomes opaque and shiny and holds marks made by the beaters for a second or two; it should look like softly whipped cream. Step 5: Fold about one fourth of the beaten eggs into the chocolate to lighten it. Then transfer this mixture to the bowl of whipped eggs and gently fold only until the two are combined. Over-folding will make the mousse dense instead of light and airy. Quickly spoon the mousse into the ramekins, clean any drips that may have occurred around the tops of the dishes. Chill, loosely covered, for at least one hour and up to a day. Step 6: Before serving, top each mousse with sweetened whipped cream. (If you included alcohol in the mousse, then add a splash to the cream as you whip it.) Dust with sugar sprinkles if using them. Serve the mousse cool but not cold for the creamiest texture. This is a variation of an Alice Medrich recipe. Vera Dawson is a chef instructor with CMC’s Culinary Institute and lives in Summit County, where she bakes almost every day. Her recipes have been tested in her home kitchen and, whenever necessary, altered until they work at our altitude. Contact her at email@example.com.

Uruguayan writer and director Guillermo Amoedo has left a solid mark on Chilean audiences with his short films and movies, and he was a co-writer on the Eli Roth productions of “Aftershock” and “The Green Inferno.” In 2014, he left his mark on American audiences with the supernatural thriller “The Stranger.” Cristobal Tapia Montt stars as Martin, a mysterious man who arrives in a small Canadian town to look for his wife. The reasons why Martin seeks her out become clear as the movie goes on, but he quickly discovers she has died and decides to commit suicide as a result. But after he is viciously attacked by a trio of criminals, the incident soon has a snowball effect on the whole town, and its inhabitants soon find themselves ensnared in a nasty bloodbath many of them will be unable to escape. I got to speak with Guillermo about “The Stranger” and of how he came up with the idea for it. Although it his film, Eli Roth’s name is heavily featured on the movie’s advertisements and it had me asking Guillermo how much the “Hostel” director was involved in its making. Guillermo also discussed how Cristobal was cast, of how a particularly brilliant vampire movie became a strong inspiration for “The Stranger,” and of how family always plays a big part in horror films. Ben Kenber: What was the genesis of “The Stranger’s” story for you? Guillermo Amoedo: Well it was an idea that I had five years ago in between scripts. It came actually from the idea of what kind of vampire movie I would like to see. I’m actually not a vampire movie fan, but I saw a vampire film called “Let the Right One In.” I really loved the way it is designed by genre and I really loved the way they treated the subject, and I wanted to do something very grounded in the kind of vampire films that I would like to see; more grounded and more character driven than the ones that are out there right now. I wanted to take the tone of that film and make it more grounded, but then also make it my own kind of story that was more of a character driven story about this guy who has to choose between his own family or humankind. I like this kind of character that had this deep moral conflict inside of them and has to make the tough decisions. BK: On the surface, “The Stranger” looks like a vampire movie, but it also has elements of a ghost movie as well as supernatural elements as well. Was it always your intention to mix up genres with this movie? GA: Yeah, that was the idea. It has of course some supernatural elements, but it’s more about the people than it was about the supernatural powers. That’s why I wanted to make all the supernatural stuff as minimal as possible. They don’t have wings, they don’t fly, they just have some stuff from the vampire mythology but they’re actually pretty human. BK: “The Stranger” has Eli Roth’s name on the top of this movie’s advertisements and I know that you worked with him previously on “Aftershock.” What part did he play in the making of “The Stranger?” GA: Well he helped a lot in the development of the script and had a lot of notes. He also helped us a lot in post-production with different cuts and ideas. He was involved in different stages of this process. This is the fourth film where we have been involved with Eli and we have a very friendly collaboration process with him. BK: I really enjoyed Cristobal Tapia Montt’s performance as Martin and I love how he holds the audiences’ attention just with a single stare. What was it like directing him in “The Stranger?” GA: He was amazing. Originally the script was written for someone older, much older, like 45 or 50 years old. But then before doing the film I made a short film and I casted him for it. I changed the age of the character in order to cast him, and he did such a wonderful job that I changed everything so he could play the role of Martin. He’s a terrific actor. He has a lot of experience working in Chilean films and TV, and I hope he can have more opportunities in the future. BK: I liked that, as a writer, you didn’t go out of your way to spell out everything in the movie’s story for the audience. As a writer, how important is it for you to keep secrets from the audience? GA: Well I think it has to be a balance of how much you can tell without revealing everything, but you also don’t want to reveal too much. There’s a line that says the secret to being boring is to tell everything. You have to test sometimes the script and then the movie to see how much you can hold back from the audience and how much you have to give them so it’s tricky sometimes. It also depends a lot on the kinds of audiences. Some people get mad because they want to know everything. It’s like the tip of the iceberg; you have to tell as much information as necessary so that the audience can understand the story, but then you can leave a lot of stuff that the audience can fill with their own imagination. So I like to do a lot of that stuff where people have to fill part of the story with their own imagination. BK: Ariel Levy who plays Caleb, the town bully, was he meant to have the same hairstyle as Eminem in this movie? GA: (Laughs) That wasn’t actually the idea, but now that you mention he does look a lot like an Eminem fan. It was to change Ariel’s aspect as much is possible, so we changed his haircut and his hair color and he was intended to resemble Ben Foster in “3:10 to Yuma,” but something like that more than Eminem. It was changing Ariel’s aspect everything to get him more involved in his character. BK: Nicolás Durán’s character of Peter is referred to as a tagger which is slang for graffiti artist, and it was interesting to see the symbolism in what he was painting. Was there any intentional symbolism in what he was spraying over the walls in town? GA: There is one thing: the symbol that he writes on the walls is the same as the marking that Cristobal’s character has on his wrist. That’s actually the idea that there is some kind of connection between them, and it’s a made up symbol that has to do with something the Greeks used to do. They used to mark the people who are ill before Christ, so we are trying to build a mythology between that and what kind of character that Cristobal plays. BK: I imagine you had a very tight budget to work with on “The Stranger” and a short schedule to make it in. How much did that force you to be more creative while shooting? GA: Always limitations, I think, are better. Sometimes you have too many limitations to work with, but when you have enough… It’s a good thing to know your limitations from before, so when I wrote the script I knew how many pages we could shoot a day and how much stuff we could do so I tried to plan everything right from the beginning. Then when there’s so much trouble that I think we were pretty much prepared for the worst, and we ended up doing a pretty good job. BK: The town where you shot “The Stranger” in has a wonderfully Gothic feel to it as well as a great small-town vibe which fits the movie perfectly. Did you always plan to shoot the movie there, or did this town come to your attention through a location scout? GA: Well we actually planned to shoot everything at another town that was farther away from the town (we shot in), more South. This town is near a place near another town where one of the producers of the movie has a house where he always goes to for vacation. He told me that this place was great and had lakes and volcanoes and everything. We went there and it was amazing. I mean everywhere you could shoot from anyplace and you would have three volcanoes in a lake in the town in the view and everything. It was an amazing place to shoot. BK: How would you describe “The Stranger” to an audience that has yet to see it? GA: I would say it is a supernatural thriller about the clash of two fathers who have to decide why on one side this father has this desire to save his son or put in danger the whole of humankind and decides to save humankind, and there’s the other one who decides to save his kid and puts the whole of humankind in danger. So there’s this clash of morals between fathers. BK: Family always plays a big part in the best horror films. GA: Yeah, and that’s what actually the film was about. Aside from the supernatural stuff, it’s about how far would you go to save your kid. How much would you put in and risk to save them? Even though your kid might become a monster, it’s still your kid. So that kind of challenges and creates a moral conflict, and that’s what the movie is about. A big thank you to Guillermo Amoedo for taking the time to talk with me. “The Stranger” is available to own and rent on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital.

When it comes to Chris Christie's bizarre traffic scandal, there is a lot we don't know. We don't know what he knew, when he knew it, why he didn't know it, whom his administration was trying to punish, how many times they had created "traffic problems" before, or whether it will affect his presidential chances. (We don't even know if he's running!) All we know is that Americans seem to care about it much less than MSNBC's audience—for now. A Pew poll from this week found the public paid little attention to Christie's Bridgegate—less than the polar vortex (which was, after all, truly nation-wide) or even the Washington debate over unemployment benefits and the jobless rate. Meanwhile, national opinion of the governor has barely budged. But let's say the drip-drip doesn't stop and Christie's scandal takes a bigger bite out of his approval rating and national profile. Is this the sort of thing voters will still be preoccupied by in two years, when the Republican primaries get rolling? Scandals come in many flavors, and different scandals tend to enact different penalties. Corruption scandals (i.e., bribery or obstruction of justice) cost incumbents about eight percentage points, on average. Next, financial and sex scandals shave off five points. But political scandals (like, say, jamming traffic on a bridge to punish a New Jersey political enemy)? They don’t appear to matter at all, according to a study last year by political scientist Scott Basinger. Although sex scandals clearly make for the easiest headlines, a 2013 study found that the most durable scandals are substantive rather than salacious. Political science has already shown that half of American legislators have been implicated, somehow, in scandals; that politicians involved in scandals are viewed less favorably; that they attract higher-quality opponents and lose votes in the following election. But researchers David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller wanted to know what sort of scandals "stick." So they administered two online surveys, creating fake representatives undergoing a sex scandal or a tax scandal. Some participants would read that the scandals (e.g., sleeping with a staffer, or income-tax evasion) were recent. Others would read they happened decades ago. The results were fairly striking: Not only did people care much more about the tax scandal overall, but also they discounted the sex scandal dramatically when it happened years in the past. As for income-tax evasion, it didn't seem to matter if the news was new or old: It hurt favorability about the same. Their conclusion is that some scandals don't tell us much about enduring character flaws, and voters are willing to overlook them. But scandals that hit closer to the duties of office are harder to forgive. I'm not about to a make a prediction about how tens of millions of Republican voters will savor Bridgegate as a part of the stew of variables they'll have swooshing in their heads in 2016. But if the research is instructive, it seems to me (a) that wonky political scandals, like retributive bridge-congestion, are often too esoteric for the public to consider deeply, but (b) if Christie does take a hit in the next few weeks, this is precisely the sort of character-of-office scandal that doesn't go away over time.

A Brief History of the Marshall Islands as a Member of the Trust Territory In the sixteenth century Spain laid claim to the Marshall Islands and later sold it to the Germans during the Spanish-American war in 1898. Japan captured the Marshall Islands from Germany during World War I and later lost it to the United States during World War II. Under a 1947 Trusteeship Agreement with the United Nations, the United States administered the Marshall Islands and other Micronesian countries. Under the Trusteeship Agreement the United States assumed the obligation to foster the development of political institutions such as suited for member countries of the Trust Territory. The United States was tasked with promoting the development of the inhabitants of the Trust Territory towards independence according to the wishes of the peoples concerned. A bicameral Congress of Micronesia was established in 1964 of which the Marshall Islands was a part. Brief Overview of Political Development in the Republic of the Marshall Islands In 1978 the Marshall Islands in a referendum broke away from the rest of Micronesia and opted for a separate Constitution. In 1979 its Constitution was ratified. The country gained independence and signed a compact of free association with the United States in 1986. The 1979 constitution provides for a unicameral parliamentary system. However, the President is elected by members of the Nitijela (parliament), and serves as the head of government as well as the head of state. A consultative upper house for traditional leaders known as the Council of Irooj Advises on customary issues.

A Tailored Opinion: Fall Survival Guide Well hello world! The summer has been long, but it seems like my vacation has been untimely short. I spent most of my summer in the swampy humidity of DC, so it's refreshing to be back in Ann Arbor where it’s not too hot, not too cold and all I need is a light jacket (Miss Congeniality anyone?). But just as I was getting used to weekend tans, pools and fruity summer drinks it came to an end and the prep for school and fall in Ann Arbor has been well underway. Now I know it is tempting to quite literally fall into the college slump where you sleep in until the last possible minute and run to class looking like… well, looking like you wouldn’t want people to look at you at all. But while going out in sweats with that "just-rolled-out-of-bed" look is a great way to see who your true friends are, it is a complete and utter waste of the ideal fall season. Fall happens to be one of my favorite seasons to style, however for those of you who consider fall lackluster at best, here are some suggestions to surviving the season (or if you are in Michigan- the short but sweet 3 week period) with effortlessly edgy style. What better way to ring in fall then by wearing jeans! Summer was way too hot and your legs were way to tan to have them covered up in jeans. So go shopping and grab a pair of ripped jeans. It’s a win-win situation. There is such versatility with ripped and worn jeans - grungy with sneakers or high-fashion with heels. You can get jeans with just rips by the knees (a big staple these days) or they can be as torn and tattered as you please. I recommend having a pair of each - you can’t go wrong! Of course where would we be in the world without some non-endorsed celebrity incorporation? Here is Jessica Alba wearing the ripped jean trend to perfection. Fall is the perfect time to cozy up with your favorite latte late at the library while watching Netflix – sorry I meant studying- while wearing your favorite sweater. A sweater is effortless, comfortable and if you get the right one, can make your outfit look very chic. If you don’t trust me, trust Olivia Polermo: This is my favorite section after boots (coming shortly!). Summer was so hot and I know my face was so tan that wearing makeup was A. impossible because it would melt B. impossible because my makeup no longer matched my tan So fall is the best time to get back into color and wear makeup that will actually last all day. Lipstick colors for fall are the best. You can go as dark as you want in any of the red or purple hues. The rich color will make your outfit and face pop as well as make you feel confident and fab. Studies have actually shown that women who wear lipstick are more confident- so I don’t know- wear it? Summer is plagued with sandals and flip flops. When you’re like me who prefers a closed shoe, fall cannot come soon enough. As soon as the fall season hits, I take out all of my boots and wear them until the next summer. I am a big advocate for Frye riding boots simply because I wear them so much and they haven’t worn down or broken yet. But they are a bit pricey, so look out for the hundreds of alternatives everywhere from Urban Outfitters to DSW. The good thing about Fall is that you can wear high boots to the knee, lower ones to the calf or ankle booties. I love a combat boot more than the next girl and anything with studs is also at the top of my fall list. This section doesn’t mean warm winter scarves, but stylish, light infinity or long shawl scarves can add an extra pop to any outfit. However, on the days where fall seems more like winter, a good wool scarf can also be fashionable: Fall is that in between period where you can either wear a sweater or wear a lighter shirt and have a jacket. Jean jackets are making a huge comeback but I still swear by the trench coat. It’s light, clean-cut and perfect for rain or shine. Please observe HRH Kate in her natural trench coat habitat: Not a biker? Not a goth? No problem! Leather jackets are now for everyone to add an extra bit of edge to their outfit. Its sleek and stylish and gets the job done any day of the week, day or night. Just because it’s not summer anymore, doesn’t mean cute dresses are out of the question. In fact, that is why they made knee socks, leggings, leg warmers and cute patterned tights! EXHIBIT A- ALEXA CHUNG Want to see all of these survival tips embodied into one fashionable individual? Here is Alexa Chung. Her style is on par with the likes of the Olsen twins and Kim Kardashian (circa Kanye West makeover) Follow these survival tips and you should quite literally blow gracefully through fall and into the bitter tundra of winter (which is when I give you permission to allow sweatpants and sweatshirts back into your blistering cold lives). That’s all the wise words I have for now, here is a picture of James Franco in a plush gray sweater to get you through the week

I am ignoring the Metro traffic by living near a Metro train station, and a single bus away from college. The traffic pretty much makes bus and car travel take about the same amount of time – maybe 15 minutes longer by bus. Also, riding the bus is fun, except for the sometimes unfortunate levels of humidity. I read a few books in September and October, and then I started drawing on the bus. Here's my first drawing (on the back page of Garth Clark's American Ceramics – sorry!): Then I moved on to a lined notebook, just illustrating ideas that come up when I think about making pots. I have no idea if these will affect my work in clay. Drawing on a cross-town bus? I put my bag on my lap, balance my sketchbook (or whatever) on top, and try to keep my hand and my page riding the same wave. Though I seem to be becoming a bus-spotter, don't worry. I've always been that way.

Last week I bought some paper that was so cute I wanted to see it all the time. So I made a winter wall hanging. I did a winter one so it will match my other holiday items and it can be up after x-mas. Here is how I made it. First I jotted down a rough sketch of my idea and assembled any products I might want to use. Then I used mycutsearch.com to see which cartridges various images were on. I used Accent Essentials, Create a Critter, George and Basic Shapes, Plaintin Schoolbook and Sesame Street Friends cartridges on my Circut to cut out the different shapes. For the presents, I didn't like the all the 'ribbon' so I cut off the bottom part. After that I decided which colors I wanted to use in the open spaces on the snowmen. I used some scraps from other shapes to fill the empty spots. Next I added some bling and other accents. After all the pieces were made and dry, I moved them around until I like the layout. Once I knew how wide the 9 parts were going to be, I prepared the top banner. I used 3 different fonts, and 2 techniques. For all the e's, I used Glue Stic to temporarily hold the center in place while dabbing the ink. To help hold the main ribbon, I pushed it through a small hole with a brad. I then folded the brad over the ribbon and used hot glue to hold everything firmly in place. (note: You may need to add chipboard or other firmer material to the back of the banner to keep it from warping while it's hung.) Let everything dry and wha-la! An awesome winter wall hanging!

Church of St. John the Baptist Returning from his third journey, after having called at Tyre and having stayed in the city for a week and meeting the disciples again, Paul, with Luke, embarked for Ptolemais (= Acre). Here they went to greet the brothers and stayed a whole day with them. The next day they left for Cesarea where they arrived before nightfall. Convent of St. Francis An ancient maritime city on the Phoenician coast, it was already known by the name of Akko in written sources in Pharaonic times (circa 1500 BC). The oldest part is on Tell el-Fukhar (“hill of the clay vases”) east of the present-day city. Following the conquest by Alexander the Great (313 AD), the city was founded again on the coast by the Hellenistic dynasty of the Ptolomeis of Egypt, who gave it the name of Ptolemais. It continued to be called this during the Roman and Byzantine periods. A Christian community existed there from the apostolic period, as we are told in the Biblical account of St. Paul’s travels: “ We continued the voyage and came from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed a day with them” (Acts 21,7). In Christian antiquity, it was a bishop’s seat and also enjoyed a certain prosperity. However, its fame comes above all from the importance that the city assumed as a sea port and seat of government during the second Crusader period after Jerusalem fell into the hands of the Arab army led by Saladin (1187 AD). Both the King and the Patriarch of Jerusalem made it their capital. Many European cities had military and commercial outposts in Acre, in areas of the city reserved to them, namely the Franks, Pisans, Genoese or Venetians. Traces of these quarters still remain in the old part of the city. The city was defended by various military orders and in particular the Knights of St. John (Knights Hospitaller), the Templars, the Teutonic Knights and those of the order of St. Lazarus. The convents of the recently founded mendicant orders, such as the Carmelites, the Dominicans and the Franciscans, both male and female, stood out from the others. The Franciscan presence dates back to the founder of the order, Francis of Assisi. The Saint is believed to have arrived here in 1220 after having met the Sultan Melek el-Kamel in Egypt and having received from him, for himself and his friars, a sort of safe-conduct so that they could freely visit the Holy Places. Until the city was conquered again by the Saracen armies (1291), the Provincial Minister of the Overseas Province and the Custos of the Holy Land resided here with about sixty friars, all of whom were martyred here. It was not until 1620 that a Franciscan presence could again be established in the city, in the area of Khan el-Franj. In 1737, the Church of St. John the Baptist was also added near the lighthouse, to be used as a parish church for the Christians of the Latin rite resident in the city. 1.

On June 28, 1969, New York City's gay community erupted in protests when police raided Greenwich Village's Stonewall Inn, a bar and restaurant in lower Manhattan that welcomed gays. Historians cite the "Stonewall riots," which went on for days, as the beginning of the gay rights movement in the United States and also a leading factor in the emergence of European campaigns for homosexual equality. A Franklin & Marshall College senior now is researching the history of the British gay rights movement and its connection to the Stonewall events. "My research so far spans mostly the 1950s and '60s," said Trey Williams, a double major in history and government. By 1967, he said, Great Britain already was changing its attitudes, having lifted the ban on homosexuality in the privacy of the home for consenting adults over 21. Williams has received a Nissley Grant through F&M for his independent study project. The grant, which is awarded for outstanding research in the arts, humanities, or social sciences, will support Williams's travels and a week of archival research in London in January. "I'll be studying the change (toward gay rights) before Stonewall and how Stonewall affected further change," Williams said. "Stonewall was the defining moment for gay rights in the world." The Hall-Carpenter Archives at the London School of Economics have the biggest holdings on Britain's gay rights movement, said Professor of History Maria Mitchell, who is advising Williams in his independent study. "The question is to what degree their [Britain's] movement was indigenous, and to what degree it was shaped by transnational influences," she said. Many European countries decriminalized homosexuality long before Britain did, but that was only the first step, Williams said. The gay rights movement would play a pivotal role in challenging British cultural views of homosexuality. "There had to be a massive cultural change after decriminalization," Williams said. It was critical for society to understand that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are normal and healthy people in order to bring about the political change to secure basic rights and, ultimately, in March 2013, Britain's legalization of same-sex marriage. Change happened slowly, Williams noted. Britain's conservative Tory Party, which in the 1980s opposed the recognition of gay rights, championed the 2013 law that allowed gays to marry. Williams has done considerable research at F&M's Shadek-Fackenthal Library to prepare his approximately 60-page honors thesis, which he will defend in the spring. The research included several hours examining the British parliament's 1957 Wolfenden Committee Report. "They [the committee] gave an opinion to parliament that homosexuality shouldn't be criminalized," Williams said. "The law in '57 made it criminal even in the home." Through his independent study, Williams has developed new approaches and strategies that have improved his writing skills and enhanced his interest in civil rights and the law, he said. "I'm going to law school in the fall," he said. "I will be pursing a legal career in health law and policy, because I believe it is our next great civil rights battle."

This article was part of our April Fool’s edition. 57% of poll participants guessed that this story was a hoax. Well guess what? This technology is the REAL DEAL. It’s called DigniCap. A scalp cooling system has been shown to reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss in women with breast cancer. In an FDA clinical trial involving the technology, seven out of 10 early-stage breast cancer patients kept at least 50% of their hair. The system consists of a silicone cooling cap that fits snug on the head, along with an outer neoprene cap to insulate and secure the silicone cap, which is connected to a cooling and control unit. When operating, a liquid coolant circulates throughout the cap to provide controlled cooling to the scalp. As the temperature of the scalp is lowered, vasoconstriction occurs, resulting in a lower rate of chemotherapy delivery to the scalp and a decreased intra-follicular metabolic rate, thereby reducing cellular drug uptake. “We are very excited to be the first oncology practice in the area to provide the system to our breast cancer patients. Losing hair during chemotherapy can be a devastating experience and no woman should have to go through such physical and emotional trauma in this day and age,” said Dr. Young Lee from Chesapeake Oncology & Hematology COHA, in a company press release. “In the past, we have used different types of scalp cooling caps that were very cumbersome and labor intensive.” The system will be initially rolled out at 10 cancer treatment centers in the south and in California.

Cut+Run has welcomed executive producer Deanne Mehling to lead the editorial company’s growing presence in San Francisco. Mehling, most recently the EP of Arcade, has been a driving force for such companies as Chrome, Jigsaw and Satellite Films “After working in Los Angeles for the last 20 years, I’m excited about exploring the rich opportunities in the San Francisco Bay Area with Cut+Run,” Mehling said. “With the continuing growth that Cut+Run has enjoyed and its pool of incredible talent to draw from in L.A., New York, London and Hong Kong, the timing was right for us to join forces and head north to one of the country’s leading creative hotbeds.” Having a locally based executive producer was a natural evolution for the company, which has contributed to various San Francisco-based projects including the 2012 Clio Award-winning Audi, “Ahab” for Venables, Bell & Partners. “Deanne and I have wanted to work together for a long time. The opportunity for her to helm our new San Francisco venture was a dream come true,” said U.S. managing director Michelle Burke. “Deanne will help us expand our brand and services in San Francisco. In addition to her amazing skillset, her special energy and spirit are a perfect fit at Cut+Run. The company is blessed to have such a talented team come together in the past couple of years.”

1:32PM: Raanta told Larry Brooks "it's great to get these games, but everybody knows who the No. 1 is." (NY Post) He said that it's nice to play these games instead of Henrik but added that Lundqvist has been "awesome to me the whole time" and that he will be there for Hank since Hank has been there for him." (NY Post) 1:22PM: Raanta spoke after the morning skate today and said (NYR): - "when you get a couple of games in a row it gets a little bit easier to find a rhythm but the whole team has been helping me a lot. If I can make the first save usually they are there to help me. I try to do my thing and keep it simple and enjoy the game." - "It's a little bit easier to come to the game and just try to focus one day at a time. Today I came here and got a good workout and a sweat going and get myself prepared for tonight. It will be a tough battle. I think everybody knows that and it's a good way to get the day started and a good sweat going." - "When you get wins you get a good feeling going but I have been feeling good the whole year." 10:56AM: Raanta is the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate and will start tonight. (NYR) It is the first time that Henrik Lundqvist has been a healthy backup for 4 straight games. 10:31AM: Antti Raanta is in the starters net at today's morning skate and will likely start in goal for the Rangers tonight. It would be Raanta's fourth straight start. Adam Rotter: It's the right move to start Raanta tonight. He's the hot goalie, he hasn't allowed a goal in 2 1/2 games and the players have confidence in him right now. I think this has much more to do with Raanta than anything with Henrik Lundqvist and goalie should be no different from any other position, if a player is going hot then he should play. Once Raanta loses or struggles everything will revert back to normal and Henrik Lundqvist will be the Rangers starter. But for right now the Rangers need to go with the hot hand and that is Antti.

In 2009, I watched seasons 1-4. I saw a few episodes here and there after, but I lost interest during the contract debacle. Still, when I found out Netflix had added seasons 1-9, I decided it was time to get caught up. As of writing this, I'm halfway through season 5, but I'm spoiled for most (if not all) major events through season 9, so no concerns there. Although I love the entire BAU (including Elle), Prentiss and Reid are my favorites. So really, write anything focusing on her and/or him, and I'll be thrilled. Tricks: Throw the BAU in the middle of a classic slasher film: Isolated, prey of psychopathic serial killer; and for whatever reason, Prentiss and/or Reid end(s) up weaponless. Or maybe they find themselves in an abandoned warehouse, with rumors of a haunting. Or maybe there's a devastating (and horrifying) virus being spread by an unsub. Maybe there are zombies. Treats: Maybe the BAU has a costume party. Maybe Hotch needs someone to take Jack trick-or-treating and Prentiss and/or Reid volunteer(s). The team could go to a Halloween carnival, complete with a haunted house, under the guise of "team bonding," but really just so two of them will finally hook up. Or maybe it's the day after Halloween and someone's just indulging in all the leftover candy. Prentiss/Reid is my OTP, but I also ship Hotch/JJ, Morgan/Garcia, and Reid/JJ. I didn't request Elle or Gideon, but if you want to bring back either of them, that'd be awesome, too. I'm one of those rare birds who loves everything about Fringe. I love the parallel worlds and the time travel and Lincoln/Olivia and Peter/Olivia and Walter's relationships with everyone. I love Etta and Astrid and the Observers and all the monsters-of-the-week. Basically, you can't go wrong with what you write for this fandom. I requested Etta and September because there's so little fic for either of them. I'd be overjoyed if you wrote something that featured both of them, but I'll be happy with fic focusing on either one. Tricks: Even in the altered timeline, there's bound to be reason for the Fringe Division to operate. So give me a monster-of-the-week, like Olivia and Peter would face-off against (or Mulder and Scully). Or if you want to take it a step further, throw in some genuinely supernatural creatures; vampires, werewolves, ghosts, zombies. Or maybe the Observers, somehow, still exist in the altered future; in what ways would they be similar and different from the original Observers? Treats: Tell me about the happy Halloweens Etta has in the rewritten timeline, about the stories Peter and Olivia tell her about their adventures. Or maybe September's first Halloween as Donald. Lincoln/Olivia is my OTP, but I also ship Peter/Olivia. Simon/Etta is my preferred pairing for Etta, but I'm also absolutely down with Lincoln/Etta and September/Etta. Luke was one of my favorite characters in Halloweentown and Halloweentown 2, so I was disappointed when he was dropped from the franchise after that. I always wondered what he was up to when Marnie started that exchange program or when she was attending Witch U. Tricks: Halloweentown is already Halloween-themed, obviously, but feel free to take a darker, more adult approach to it. Maybe while Marnie and Aggie aren't around, Luke defeats some evil on his own. Maybe something truly sinister comes to Halloweentown and Luke helps the Cromwell witches again. Treats: What if Luke joined the exchange program and went to high school with Marnie? Or what if Marnie came to high school in Halloweentown? Or you could just do a slice-of-life, telling me what it's like to grow up in Halloweentown. I just requested Luke, but include any of the other characters, if you want. I love the siblings, so I'd love to see more of them. Marnie/Luke is my OTP, but I could probably be tempted toward a future Sophie/Luke. LEIA ORGANA. Listen, when I say you can write anything for Leia, I'm being completely serious. So long as you don't torture or kill her, I'll be thrilled. Leia is one of my favorite characters ever. Write about her life on Alderaan, about learning the ins-and-outs of politics, about hearing of the rebellion and deciding to join it. Or write about the time spanning the original trilogy. Or tell me about what happened for her afterward. Tricks: Take any of the classic slasher or hauntings tropes and give them a Star Wars twist. Or hey, zombies in space! Or write about how Leia is affected by the single, fleeting memory of her mother or how she's haunted by Darth Vader. Maybe Vader tries to use the Force to invade her mind, but she fights him off. Maybe there are other evils Leia, Luke, and Han have to face after the Empire has fallen. Treats: Give me a holiday like Halloween but in a galaxy far, far away. What do they dress up as on Alderaan? Or maybe the trio is chasing something strange, but it's as fun as it is dangerous. Han/Leia is my OTP. Don't feel obligated to include him or write Han/Leia, but I'd prefer you not pair them with anyone else. Again, thank you! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
