There is understandably a lot of confusion around as to what Michigan’s new No-Fault Law means for statewide residents.
At Bashore Green Law Group, we have tried to make it as simple as possible.
You can request a PDF or a hard copy version of our “Guide to Michigan’s New No-Fault Law” simply by visiting this web page. It takes a minute or less to fill out the form and we will either send you the PDF or a mailed hard copy to your home – it’s your choice. The guide is completely free and there is no obligation to receive it. We just want to make sure you are in the know about this law, given how complex it is.
The guide will provide you with information on your options for PIP coverage and how different vehicle accidents are now defined. It also explains the differences between how accidents involving motorcycles are handled. It is not meant to provide advice on how to structure your own auto insurance, policy but it outlines the decisions you will need to be prepared to make. As always work with your insurance broker to confirm any details and make sure you understand exactly the type of coverage you are getting.
Remember we’re here to help in case you or someone close to you is injured in an auto-related incident or another type of accident. We hope such an incident doesn’t happen to you. But if it does, the attorneys at Bashore Green will help you remain informed.
The more you know before you go (on the road), the better off you and your loved ones will be. Visit us online to request your guide or call us at (248) 487-1887 to learn more.

Curriculum for Excellence
The four capacities Scottish Education is currently going through a process of change, both in terms of what is taught in schools and how. These changes therefore impact dramatically upon the design of the curriculum structure for Inverclyde Academy and will shape the way that our pupils learn, now and in the future. Staff have already been working together to establish common approaches to the teaching of each subject area and to ensure that every child is prepared for the changes ahead.
The 3-18 curriculum aims to ensure that all children and young people in Scotland develop the attributes, knowledge and skills they will need to flourish in life, learning and work.
The knowledge, skills and attributes learners will develop will allow them to demonstrate four key capacities – to be successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.
Inverclyde Academy does not operate in isolation and discussions have already taken place with our key primary partners to ensure that there is a smooth transition from primary school into secondary education. Curriculum for excellence highlights the following series of key learning stages:
Early: the pre-school years and P1 or later for some.
First: to the end of P4, but earlier or later for some.
Second: To the end of P7, but earlier or later for some.
Third and Fourth: S1 to S3, but earlier for some. The fourth level broadly equates to SCQF level 4.
Senior phase: S4 – S6 and college or other means of study
Changes are already underway to revise the Scottish Qualifications Framework, which will result in the disappearance of the Standard Grade and Intermediate courses and exams. These courses will be replaced with new National Qualifications and assessments at SCQF levels four and five. The new qualifications are scheduled to be assessed formally for the first time, in 2013 and necessitate change for every subject department. So, as you can see, there are many new challenges ahead for the teachers and pupils of Inverclyde Academy.
In the meantime, this page includes links to helpful information about the Scottish Government "Curriculum for Excellence" changes. Please click on the links to find out more.
Progression into S5:
The progression from S4 is as follows:
- NAT 3 -- Intermediate I (which is equivalent to Standard Grade General)
- NAT 4 -- Intermediate II (which is equivalent to Standard Grade Credit)
- NAT 5 -- Higher
Having moved on to one of the S5/6 course levels, a pupil will then progress through them, moving from one level, to the next more advanced one, e.g. Intermediate II to Higher Pupils attaining a Higher award in S5 may progress if they choose, to Advanced Higher in S6.
S5/6 How levels are reported on
Higher, Intermediate II and Intermediate I levels all have two kinds of assessment: there are unit assessments based on the different component parts of the course, which are assessed internally in the school, and an overall award which is based on the internal assessments, together with an external assessment (which usually includes a final exam).
While any pupil passing any internal assessments will have those reported on his or her Scottish Qualification Certificate (SQC) to gain an overall award a pupil must have been successful in all internal assessments, and in the external assessment.
Higher, Intermediate II and Intermediate I overall awards are all reported on a scale 1-6 as follows:
1-2 ‘A’ award
3-4 ‘B’ award
5-6 ‘ C’ award
These awards represent different levels of pass, with ‘A’ being the highest. Where a pupil has narrowly failed one level he or she will be awarded a ’D’ award at that level.

Once a week in Winnipeg's North End, young people get together...to WRITE!
Beginning on July 4th 2011, AYO! (Aboriginal Youth Opportunities) will begin to offer 'Creative Expressions' a FREE Creative Writing program, open to All North End youth (11-17). We will be at Ralph Brown Community Center (460 Andrews Street) every Monday night for the entire summer from 6-8pm and will be exploring various ways of expressing ourselves. It is guided by members of AYO! and will always have an adult on site to help supervise all activities. Topics that have been explored in the past include: 'the internet', 'x-box' 'graffiti' and more! Of course every week, we bring some healthy snacks for people to eat so that their bodies get nourished as well as their minds! We generally bring in other young people that are experience in one particular form of self expression, and they share why and how it has been beneficial for them, before we try it!
Creative Expressions has been operating since Spring 2010 and has been offered in more than 5 locations in the North End community. This deliberate variance of our location allows us to share these opportunities with a wider range of exposure. We have operated previously at North End Arts Centre (Ndinawe) and more recently at Children of the Earth High School.
Right now, CE is working on a project that intends to re-vamp and re-design the banners on Selkirk Avenue. We have established some partnerships and are excited to work on this banner project more at our next Creative Expressions on Monday July 11/11 were we will be exploring photography and applying those photos to our Banner project.
SEE YOU FOLKS ON MONDAY JULY 11, 2011 - CE BANNERZ

I am as of 1 January 2015 pursuing doctoral studies at the Faculty of Law. I spent the fall of 2017 at Harvard Law School as a visiting researcher. The area of my studies is how to treat and view value compensation when agreements are reversed. I am particularly interested in issues that arise in the gaps between different areas of law and how we treat potential indeterminancies. I regularly teach in private law, predominantly in contract law and issuse of restitution and unjust enrichment.

Meet Our Super Nurse Recruiters
What’s on your travel wishlist?
My wife and I love to travel. There is a lot more of the US we want to explore, like Southern California, New York, National parks in MT, WY,CO, UT. Best trip thus far was to Seattle and we took day trips to Mt Rainier & Olympic Natl Park.
My big travel dreams would be Europe, specifically London to go to Abby Road Studios (Beatles) and other parts of Europe to see WW2 historical locations. Additionally, I’d like to see Tokyo/Hong Kong/Shanghai. And if you flew me to a beach in Costa Rica I would not argue!
Tell us about your pets:
I have an orange striped tabby cat named Pancake. We got her from a shelter in Nashville where she was owner surrendered so we have no history on her. We don’t even know how old she is. However, she is very affectionate, does not eat the house plants, and for some reason is terrified of the TV. Best cat ever!
What is your all-time favorite hobby?
It’s hard to choose so I’ll give you 2.
1) Playing in a band. It is so much fun having 4 people come together and create a song and a sound in unison.
2) Traveling with my wife. Sharing those experiences with her made traveling one of my most favorite things to do.
What is your favorite food?
Sushi and Chinese food.

This online event marked the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement that ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995. The event considered the parallels of the Good Friday Peace Agreement between Northern Ireland and Ireland in 1998 and the Dayton Agreement, and whether both or either have ensured that peace has been built. The event consisted of presentations and discussions from senior politicians and academics from Northern Ireland/Ireland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the UK.
Dr Jasmin Mujanović (Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Foundation) spoke on ‘Dayton, Expectation and Reality?’ and Dr Máire Braniff (Ulster University) presented on ‘Good Friday Agreement, Expectation and Reality?’. Following this there was a panel discussion between Elmina Kulašić (Remembering Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina), Lana Prlić MP (Social Democratic Party Bosnia and Herzegovina), Doug Beattie MLA (Ulster Unionist, Northern Ireland), Declan Kearney MLA , (Chairperson, Sinn Fein, Ireland), and Munira Subašić (President of the Mothers of Srebrenica and Žepa Enclaves)

One of our regular summertime treats is this variation on a recipe called ‘Daisy Brand Sour Cream Cheesecake’ that my wife originally clipped from a magazine years ago. The recipe references ‘Daisy Brand’ dot com, so I’m sure this recipe is still available online.
Our pie crust of choice is always the ‘Keebler Ready Crust Shortbread’ version pie crust, instead of a graham cracker crust, because we love the flavor of a shortbread crust. Otherwise, my wife uses the traditional recipe as written, adding a dollop of cherry pie filling and fresh-made whipped cream as favorite toppings. In this case, we had run out of sour cream, so she improvised with a meringue topping that was a perfect compliment to the cheesecake base and cherry pie filling side treat.
We always serve this cheesecake chilled from the refrigerator the day after it’s been baked, and it easily keeps for three days in the fridge ~ making it a nice, cool summertime treat to beat the heat ~ enjoy!

Guruji Sri Sri Poonamji is the epitome of selfless love. Guruji teaches all of us how to open the light within ourselves, dispelling the darkness of angers, fears, anxieties, and depression to find the true potential we all have inside.
Guruji transforms lives everywhere she goes, from India to Australia, Singapore to now America! Guruji has told us about Her vision to open a Light Centre where people of all ages can come and connect to a piece of heaven within themselves. Where people can spend a fort night eating healthy food, learning to meditate, do yoga, experience nature, and find balance within themselves again.
For those seekers that are looking for that connection, to their higher self, their true self, this place will buzz with high vibrations of love and gratitude.
To build this new centre we will need the people of America to come together! A place where we can unite as a community, elevate our lives, and improve this world that we and our families live in.
One of the first steps to building this 600 acre retreat center is to unite within our current center in Clearwater Florida at 2319 Nursery road and raise awareness! One of the first projects Guruji has set for us here at Divine Bliss International is to build the most beautiful garden around! Guruji says that Flowers are little beacons of light that God has given to earth.
Everyone needs to be a part of this fragrance. Would you like to plant a flower in this divine garden? We’re beginning as small as $10 a flower. You can honour one flower, two flowers, or a hundred. Our goal is to raise $150,000 and see this experience come to life in America.
The world needs flowers because they balance the beauty in this world. What difference does a flower make to a person?
Have you ever watched a sick person receive a bouquet of flowers? How absolutely blissful are they to have that gift?
Studies have shown flowers to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, even increase productivity!
If you’d like to be a little fragrance in our garden start with just $10.
You can contribute by entering the “Honoring Amount” and clicking on the “Add to Cart” button to proceed.

Runte's campaign under the radar
There is a hole in Al Runte's story about why he is running against Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels. It cuts about a foot deep into the sidewalk...
Seattle Times staff reporter
There is a hole in Al Runte's story about why he is running against Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels.
It cuts about a foot deep into the sidewalk on a corner in Wedgwood, left over from when a utility pole was removed five years ago. Runte accidentally stuck his foot in it six months ago and did a face-plant on the cement. He called Seattle City Light to get it filled, leaving a message on a recording. Nothing was done.
To Runte, the hole symbolizes City Hall's inattention to basics and helps illustrate a main point of his campaign for mayor: Nickels is neglecting neighborhoods while giving preference to downtown and South Lake Union developers.
There's a problem with his story, though. City Light says Qwest, and not the city, is responsible for filling the hole. (The phone company, for its part, disagrees.)
Quibble aside, it's as if Runte can't win for losing in this town. A former University of Washington history professor who unsuccessfully sued the school twice after being denied tenure, Runte is articulating virtually the same sentiments that motivated a group of political activists earlier this year to try to recruit a big-name opponent to run against Nickels.
Yet Runte, who wasn't on the recruit list, has been unable to graduate in rank from "protest vote" to "credible challenger."
"He's definitely saying the right things, and it's great to see someone step forward," said Matt Fox, University District Community Council president. "But he's got an uphill battle."
Al Runte, 58
Occupation: environmental historian and writer
Background:University of Washington professor 1980-85, independent scholar since then
Top three endorsements: 36th Legislative District Democrats, Seattle High School Young Democrats, former City Council candidate Ángel Bolaños
Campaign Web site: www.runte4mayor.com
In the September primary, Runte polled 22 percent to Nickels' 57 percent, and the challenger has raised $17,000, about one-third from himself, compared with the incumbent's half-million.
The professor's lack of history in city affairs isn't helping, said the Seattle Displacement Coalition's John Fox, a coordinator of the unsuccessful recruitment effort.
Fox is voting for Runte, and his coalition is endorsing Runte, "but there is very little enthusiasm in either promoting, supporting or working for his campaign," he said. "Any objective evaluation tells you he doesn't have a prayer of winning, so people are hesitant to spend time on the race. They have other things to do.
"Had he started a year ago and touched bases and made it be known who he was and what he represented, then it would be a different story."
On the campaign trail, Runte lets it be known that he is a scholar and author of five books, ranging in subject from national parks to Western railroads. Let there be any doubt about his scholarship, Runte quotes historian A.J.P. Taylor, ecologist Aldo Leopold and Teddy Roosevelt, whom he describes as his political hero. He also drops the name of the late Victor Steinbrueck, a Seattle urban planner whom he described as a breakfast pal.
Runte was born in Binghamton, N.Y., to a union-machinist father, who died when Runte was a boy, and a school-secretary mother. He moved to Seattle in 1980, leaving a professorship at Baylor University to accept a tenure-track position at the UW.
About 15 years after being denied tenure, Runte sued the university for age and sex discrimination, but the lawsuit was dismissed. In 2002, he sued again for breach of contract and fraud. In September, the State Court of Appeals upheld a lower-court dismissal of that claim. Runte has opted not to appeal to the state Supreme Court, ending a 20-year battle with the school.
"The courts unfortunately have ruled on technical, not ethical grounds," he said.
Runte lives with his wife, Christine, in a modest house in Wedgwood they bought in 1984. Plain-spoken and avuncular, Runte said he decided to run for mayor in response to 25 years of frustration over how Seattle conducts its business.
"This city thinks it's progressive, but it's really backward," Runte said. "It waits forever to do the things it should be doing, and then starts pointing fingers at everybody because nothing gets done."
An absence of campaign momentum has not slowed Runte, who details his differences with Nickels on several issues, including the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Nickels supports a replacement tunnel, while Runte favors rebuilding with a right-of-way for transit, such as rail.
Runte reserves his biggest barbs for what he calls Nickels' disregard for neighborhood concerns, pointing to a backlog in road repairs. Again, Runte does not have to leave his Wedgwood neighborhood to cite an example.
A section of 35th Avenue Northeast is sinking and the city erected a barricade, blocking one lane of southbound morning-commuter traffic. Just like with the hole from the utility pole, Runte called to complain about the problem not being fixed. Runte described the response:
" 'Hello. You've reached the Department of Transportation. Press 2. Press 3. Press 4. Press 5. And if you want all of these excuses in a different foreign language, press 9.' "
As Runte itemizes other potholes and cracks, he declares: "If I was the mayor, I would be on my cellphone calling and saying, 'I want this fixed today!' "
"In my mind, it's greed"
Runte also said he would demand that developers pay their fair share into rebuilding Seattle's streets and bridges.
"The big contractors and construction companies all run off to Santa Fe or Santa Barbara or Boca Raton and build their beautiful big homes and say, 'You know, those suckers up there in Seattle gave me all these incentives to build all these buildings, and I didn't have to put one damn thing into the infrastructure. Aren't I smart and aren't they stupid?' And, you know, they're right."
Runte also points to a new house down the street from his own — a 3,280-square-foot Craftsman with five bedrooms and 3 ½ baths on the market for $799,000. What Runte brands a "trophy house for some dot-commer" was built atop what had been a large yard for a much smaller house.
"If the argument is that the city must increase density, does it have to obliterate its livability at the same time?" Runte asked. "Everyone lives in fear now that any vacant lot in their neighborhood will be turned into one of these big boxes. It's not that the people in neighborhoods are angry about development, it's the fact that there doesn't seem to be any rules anymore.
"Is this development? In my mind, it's greed. This city is telling developers that if they can maximize their profits, they will be allowed to do just that."
Runte promises a different message for developers:
"They should be paying us for the privilege of being here. To the argument that they'll then go somewhere else, I say, 'Go! Fine! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!' I cannot afford to subsidize billionaires or millionaires. I'm tired of it."

Alex Batty says ‘I’m glad to be here for Christmas’ as he makes first statement since reuniting with his family in England after he was missing for more than six years
A British teenager who was missing for more than six years has spoken out for the first time since returning to the UK.
Alex Batty, 17, said ‘I’m glad to be here for Christmas’ as he broke his silence.
The teenager was found in France last week and spent his first night back in Britain on Saturday.
Alex landed in Manchester, walking off the plane with a skateboard under his arm before being promptly whisked away to meet his grandmother, Susan Caruana, whom it is understood he will live with.
It was the welcome end of a long journey for Alex, who was found on Wednesday after escaping a ‘nomadic’ life in a commune in the French Pyrenees, according to French authorities, years after he failed to return from a family holiday in Spain.
The teenager, who vanished when he was 11, is expected to speak with Greater Manchester Police at a later date as they look to piece together the events surrounding his disappearance and years spent living in a ‘spiritual commune’ after allegedly being kidnapped by his mother and grandfather in 2017.
Alex Batty, from Oldham, was 11 when he did not return from a holiday to Spain with his mother Melanie, then 37, and grandfather David, then 58, in 2017.

In a press conference on Saturday night, Greater Manchester Police explained that they had not yet spoken to Alex about his disappearance or ‘what [he] may have been doing, and where he has been, over his years missing’.
They said that they would support Alex as they look to understand what happened.
‘Speaking with him at a pace that feels comfortable to him we will ultimately determine how this case is progressed and whether there is a criminal investigation to ensure,’ Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle said.
‘Our continued focus is supporting Alex and his family in partnership with other local agencies to ensure they are safe, their wellbeing is looked after, and his reintegration with society is as easy as possible.
‘We are yet to establish the full circumstances surrounding his disappearance, but no matter what, understand that this may be an overwhelming process.
‘He may now be six years older than when he went missing, but he is still a young person.’

Assistant Chief Constable Matt Boyle speaking to the media about British teenager Alex Batty at Greater Manchester Police Force Headquarters in Manchester, Saturday December 16, 2023
Alex flew to Malaga in September 2017 before being taken to a ‘spiritual community’ in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Investigators believe Alex escaped the rural community in southern France and spent days trekking across the French Pyrenees before being picked up by a trucker who took him to a police station in Revel, near Toulouse
French authorities confirmed that Alex had been ‘accompanied by British police officers’ on a KLM flight via Amsterdam on Saturday.
ACC Boyle said Alex met with a family member alongside Greater Manchester Police at Toulouse Airport before heading back to the UK.
‘This moment was undoubtedly huge for him and his loved ones and we are glad that they have been able to see each other again after all this time.’
Alex’s grandmother shared her ‘relief and happiness’ at the news he had been found after years trying desperately to get in touch.
‘I spoke with him last night and it was so good to hear his voice and see his face again,’ Ms Caruana said in a statement released by Greater Manchester Police on Friday.
‘I can’t wait to see him when we’re reunited. The main thing is that he’s safe, after what would be an overwhelming experience for anyone, not least a child.’

PHA Maymar Tower aims to see to the development of a modern, comfortable and affordable community-living experience (which offers all the latest residential amenities) for the middle and low-income groups resident within Karachi.
The project’s design, as such, features a tapestry of unique architectural aesthetics; geared to lure in both genuine buyers and investors. And to top everything nicely off, each PHA Maymar Tower apartment unit comes reinforced with a dedicated balcony attraction which offers many splendid views of the surrounding scenery.
PHA Maymar Tower is a gated development located on a 150’-wide road spread over 11000 sq. yds. in
Gulshan-e-Maymar, Sector-P, Scheme 45. The project’s open three sides are covered by lush green spaces which imbue it with a beautiful, healthy touch.
The development, in addition, offers a spacious parking facility on the ground floor – on which stand 12 floors that have been dedicated for apartment constructions. Each of these units is semi-furnished; another notable project feature intended to come off as a welcoming gesture for potential residents.
The community-building aspect of PHA Maymar Tower is further strengthened by the provision of a furnished guest lobby; which comes complete with a cozy coffee area where you (as a resident) can welcome your guests or spend a comfortable evening flicking through a magazine or two. The lobby opens into a roman colonnade-styled podium – which is a visual treat like no other.
With a project apartment, you are all set for attaining some professional pool-side enjoyment – with sidelong ‘puddle pool’ facilities for your little ones. A complete gymnasium, equipped with luxurious sauna and stone bath facilities, features as a bonus for the fitness conscious. And the added library installation will prove to be enough for the scholarly pursuits of even the most critical researcher.
Additionally, PHA Maymar Tower offers a funeral room, spacious lifts, a garbage shoot facility, and high-end security monitoring arrangements – leaving little that anyone may consider is still wanting.

میمار ہاؤسنگ سروسز پرائیویٹ لمیٹڈ
Maymar Housing Services (Pvt.) Limited (MAYMAR), sponsored by Syed Mazhar Ali and Hafiz Sadiq Hussain, was incorporated on July 7, 1973. At the time of its inception, the company’s main objective was to undertake construction projects that provided quality living at an affordable price - through the maintenance of high standards of workmanship.
Since its establishment, MAYMAR has constructed over 2500 apartments and 532 bungalows; covering an area of 4.5 million square feet. In addition, the company has built 2950 low-cost houses spanning an area of 777,000 square feet.
In 1980, MAYMAR launched its flagship Gulshan-e-Maymar venture. What started as a 139-acre model community just outside Karachi quickly expanded to a 1000+ acres pursuit, as people continued to be fascinated by the luxurious township and its vast array of amenities (that were not available anywhere else in the city).
Gulshan-e-Maymar currently boasts a 50,000-resident-strong population, arranged in over 6,000 household units. The company is due to launch two high-rise residential projects - comprised of more than 675 apartments (equaling approximately 1.2 million square feet of covered space) - in the near future, along with several new housing developments within the coming 12 months; including a housing scheme in Karachi and Lahore, and apartment projects in Islamabad.
The company is one of the authorized development partners of LDA City (a project of the Lahore Development Authority [LDA]).
MAYMAR, to its further credit, has been the primary contractor responsible for the development of 220 ‘Karachi Company’ apartments in Islamabad, the Nurses Hostel at the Aga Khan Hospital, and the Holy Family Hospital Extension project.
MAYMAR aims to be an all-round real estate project development company, offering construction excellence to clients and opportunities to rake in some solid capital to investors.
The Maymar Group comes with over 47 years of construction industry leadership under its belt, and the company continues to be actively involved in the growth and development of property concerns in both Karachi and Lahore.

Carlina Simmons, Server
Team: Tapestry at Arbutus Walk, Vancouver
Hometown: Vancouver, BC
Favourite part of the job: variety of things to do and getting to know the residents
Favourite food on Tapestry menu: prawn pesto and the breakfast sandwich
Dream job: radio broadcaster/podcaster
Carlina is a lifelong Vancouverite who grew up in Kitsilano. This can be rare as so many people you meet in Vancouver are from somewhere else. Carlina is a newer face at Tapestry at Arbutus Walk starting back in September. The spring and summer before starting, she lived and worked in Blue River, BC where she worked for River Safari enjoying the great outdoors and frequent grizzly sightings.
Before Carlina started at Tapestry, she didn’t anticipate the amenities, fresh menu and freedom residents enjoy at our community. Besides getting to know the residents, Carlina has connected with Kayleigh who started around the same time in the restaurant. They have become good friends and are even planning a trip to visit Portland together. The team at Tapestry is close and tends to have a family vibe.
“It’s so interesting hearing resident stories and discovering how different two people’s lives have been by the time they each reach the age of 90. I’ve learned you should never judge someone because of their age”.

This is my version of Lori's - over at Humble Quilts - Abundance quilt-along. You can get her very nicely put together set of instructions for Part 1 and Part 2.
Thinking maybe a little striped binding.
Thanks Lori for offering this sweet little quilt. Right now the projects going on at Taylorsoutback's sewing room are pretty big and involved and a finish for either one is off in the distance, particularly the Beyond the Cherry Tree quilt. So it gives me a sense of having completed something right now! Well - almost completed but the quilting & binding won't take long.
As for the Cherry Tree quilt - this is where that is....slow going on the handquilting & having been away from holding a between needle for awhile, finding the rhythm takes time.
Making good progress on The Wedding Quilt though but as stated before - no more peeks for now....well - maybe just a tiny peek...30+ blocks done so far.
That's it for now - have a good weekend. Hope your weather is good - we are finally having some much needed snow but the days leading up to it have been really cold with temperatures at night well below zero.

Display a customizable Under Construction or Coming Soon landing page for all users except the admin. Perfect for developing on a live server!
This plugin will kill any SEO you have, because it sends a 301 PERMANENTLY MOVED header instead of a 503 Temporarily Unavailable header! DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR SEO!
this is a useless plugin. it does not do as it says on the tin.
THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE
Works good with Twenty fourteen but not with Twenty Twelve and others.
Blocks Admin access on site, meaning you can't actually work on your site once it's installed and have to access the plugin on ftp to delete it. Worst plugin I have ever used.
Sorry - Worked yesterday. There was just an update.
Perhaps you should test somewhere besides on your local.
Doesn't work. In addition, modifying settings creates a "no permission" error, forcing one to go the "GO PRO" route which then costs $10.

The place for:
- Men’s Discipleship & Couples Discipleship
- Small Group Teaching & Leading
- Worship Leading and Ministering (and training)
- Guitar Lessons
- Shofar Instruction and Shofar Evangelism Training (my other website)
- Graphic & Web Design Services and Consultation
- AV Training & Tech Support
Karpos Ministries started as a christian print/web design company back in the mid 90’s known as “Charisma Graphics“.
Within a few years, it grew to a support ministry offering far more than design services. It became a para-church ministry offering Tech Support, AV Training, and continued print/web design and consultation services.
When worship leading and ministering (at christian fellowships, special events, and coffee houses which spun off from the karpos coffee house in the late 90’s) became part of the requested services, the name was changed to Karpos Ministries.
Kαρπoς is the greek word translated as fruit in John 15:16 and it means the “fruit” (result) of labor or intent.
“You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.”
This name, because of the verse and context it comes from, reminds me that while we are empowered by the Spirit of God to do the works set before us, we still must “will” to do them, and of course assumes that there will be works
(James 2:18 “But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.“)

So, I'm going to go ahead and apologize for the lack of entries the past few weeks, things here have been CRAZY busy! Plus, most bloggers I know don't have to work part time or full time on top of blogging, and with being in retail, it has been nonstop!
My birthday was the 19th, so some of my closest friends took me out for drinks, which was much needed amongst the Christmas chaos, shopping, and work. Then we had Christmas of course, and divided our time between my boyfriend, Mark's family and mine. I felt like Reese Witherspoon in Four Christmases! So much family, so little time!
I didn't get to do an outfit of the day yet unfortunately, but here's some pictures to enjoy of my life the past week!
One of my best friends since high school, Mel & I out for my birthday :)
A collage of my birthday night. I think this pretty much covers it :) LOL.
Some friends of Mark & I had dinner at Carrabba's (I'd never been there before! SO yummy!) This was my birthday cocktail I ordered called the 'Toasted Marshmallow' ... so yum!
Found this candle at BBW and am IN LOVE. Sadly the scent only comes in this candle :( boo
This is my baby! Well, my two-year-old baby :) little Landon in front of our tree, cheesin' as usual :)
Cookies on cookies on cookies, for real! I made sooooo many this year :) What can I say, they were $1 each!!
All dressed up & LOTS of places to go ;)
My new Nikes!!! Can't tell you how obsessed with these I am. Only 3 stores in Ohio had them and my dad managed to snatch one of the last pairs up in my size! He said they had me written all over them ;) It was meant to be! :D
& the award for best boyfriend would go to MINE! He outdid himself on blessing me with this new sewing machine ah :)
Papa (my dad) teaching Landon how to golf. Suiting, since my dad is a golf pro!
Me and the man I've been so blessed to have be in my life this past year. He truly is amazing & I could not love him more!!
"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!" Just love my mini-me! :)
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and received many blessings! I sure know I did :)

Patented PEMF technology:
The OrthoCor Active System™ uses specialized Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology to relieve pain and reduce edema through safe, clinically proven therapy. PEMF is a low-level, time-varying electromagnetic field that penetrates superficial soft tissue, helping to accelerate the body’s natural anti-inflammatory and recovery responses.
Inside every Active System is the OrthoCor, a powerful microchip that delivers PEMF directly to the source of injuries. PEMF has been shown to stimulate reaction pathways that result in pain and inflammation reduction.
PEMF creates an optimized environment for healing:
OrthoCor’s patented PEMF accelerates the binding of calcium (Ca2+) to calmodulin (CaM), the process responsible for the body’s natural, anti-inflammatory nitric oxide (NO) cascade. NO is a key element in the body’s natural healing process. It is also a powerful vasodilator, increasing blood and lymphatic flow.
Additionally, NO down-regulates interleukin-1 beta (IL1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which leads to reduced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandins – molecules responsible for causing inflammation and pain. Unlike other systemic COX-2 inhibitors such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), OrthoCor’s targeted PEMF signals stimulate localized reaction pathways, thereby reducing pain and inflammation without the risks and side effects associated with NSAIDs.

Massive Transformative Purpose
An MTP is not a mission statement but rather an aspirational statement of what an organization hopes to accomplish. An effective MTP can attract customers and employees and help create a community around a company. It can also shift the focus of teams from a company’s internal politics to its external impact.
Watch below 2 min. video by Salim Ismail giving an introduction to MTP
Key questions to ask yourself:
- Why does the organization exist?
- What is the purpose of the organization?
- What is the target of the organization?
- Do kids and grandmas understand it?
To chart the course and choose which digital technologies to use owners and managers must have a defined purpose with the company. Here it is important to think big and to think from the outside in. (MTP)
If you think small there are only few advantages in a digital strategy. Digital organizations and technologies are fundamentally exponentially scalable, and if you do succeed in thinking small, your business will soon be greater than your business model, reaching and passing your goal and you may lose your sense of direction.
If you think big and focus on what your business can achieve for your customers, stakeholders and / or society, then you will be able to create and engage a network of specialists and organizations where you can share knowledge and ideas – perhaps even mobilize the crowd for your case.
However, digitization and the threat of disruption does not wait while you formulate your MTP
As the owner and / or manager of an established SME you need to plot the course and steer your business at the same time. In contrast to start-up companies your business may have large fixed costs that must be covered by your existing business, and in contrast to large corporations you may not have a staff of analysts who can examine and evaluate the many new digital opportunities.
But less than a fully developed MTP may also suffice. Define as a minimum your long-term goals of your company and select 1 or 2 of ExO-tools, which you expect may help your company quickly to realize these goals. Digitization can then be launched and tested in small trials with important and loyal existing customers, which in this way can provide useful input to their value creation potential.
An MTP is the primary enabler of exponential growth by applying a number of the 10 ExO-Tools

A commercial break is normally somewhere around two minutes, which is also great duration for a couple of plank reps.
Mel is doing the plank while waiting for the TV commercials to finish.
The plank is a great abs exercise to target your core muscles.
Get down on the floor in plank position. Rest on your forearms and toes. Keep your core muscles tensed and maintain a straight position. Down dip or raise your butt. Keep your gaze focused on the floor without tensing your neck. Start by planking for shorter periods and then gradually increase the duration. To make the exercise easier you can rest on your knees.
Plank with leg lift. Same starting position as the regular plank. Lift one leg slightly off the floor and keep it elevated for a couple of seconds before switching sides.
Plank with extended arm. Same starting position as the regular plank. Extend one arm straight in front of you and keep it extended for a couple of seconds before retracting it and extending the other.
Side plank. Lay on the side resting on one forearm. Place your upper foot on top of the one resting on the floor. This can also be done on your knees.
The average person watches TV commercials for 10 full days in a year. What if all that time was turned into something more constructive, say exercise?
TV commercials makes for 8 minutes of great exercise opportunities per hour.
Some stats: The average person spend about 34 hours a week watching TV. The average time we are exposed to commercials is close to 8 minutes per hour (during prime time that figure goes up to almost 14 minutes). Just to be conservative well do our math based on 8 minutes.
8 minutes per hour adds up to almost 5 hours per week. That’s 10 full days in a year! The point is that it’s an insane amount of time when added up, and we’re wasting it watching commercials. If we were to spend that time exercising we would have ourselves one heck of a workout program.
Crunches, dips, lunges, bike exercises, plank, stretching, push-ups and squats are some great exercises that are all well suited to do in the couch in front of the TV.
The key to fitting Nano Workouts into your lifestyle is to identify situations you often find yourself in and try to think constructively how you can turn them into something active. When sitting in the couch at home in front of the TV is exactly one of those situations.

My Summer semester is turning out to be a busy one. In addition to taking five courses — yep, you’ve read that right — I’ll be continuing my work with SFU Work Integrated Learning as a writer for its Online Learning Community.
And of course, there’s also my volunteer work. I believe I’ll continue working with SFU Volunteer Services as a blog writer for the ENGAGE blog even if my initial commitment was only for six months. I’ll also be receiving training as an SFU Orientation Leader throughout the semester.
Despite the busy schedule, I’m not complaining….
In fact, I’m quite excited about this upcoming semester. There are several reasons for this:
- Unlike this semester, none of my courses for the Summer semester is worth 4 credits. I don’t expect a single course to drive me nuts.
- Two of the courses I plan to take are super creative. I’ll be learning Photoshop, InDesign and maybe even photography this upcoming semester!
- One of my courses is about fitness. How fun is that?
Of course, I’d rather relax for the summer. But there is a benefit to fulfilling my “breadth” requirements this semester. In the Fall semester, I can focus on my graduation requirements and go get my degree possibly sooner. (Crossing my fingers for April 2011.)
So there you go. I’ll be busy, but I’m super excited!

The precise mechanisms where circulating immune complexes accumulate in the kidney to create debris in glomerulonephritis aren’t well understood. and immunostaining structured verification of cultured renal endothelial cells demonstrated limited low-level appearance of known Fc-receptors and Igbinding protein. The relationship HDAC9 between mesangial cells and renal endothelial cells and immune system complexes led to specific, cell-specific patterns of cytokine and chemokine production. This book pathway concerning renal endothelial cells most likely plays a part in the predilection of circulating immune system complex accumulation inside the kidney also to the inflammatory replies that get kidney damage. in membranous nephropathy, lupus nephritis, post-infectious glomerulonephritis, and anti-glomerular cellar membrane disease bring about immune system debris noticed by immunofluorescence electron and staining microscopy. Distribution inside the specific sub-endothelial, sub-epithelial, and mesangial areas differ amongst these illnesses, but the elements determining the design of IC deposition inside the glomerulus stay debatable. Additionally it is unclear if circulating IC are actively bound or passively caught within the glomerulus (Alpers et al., 1991). Regardless of the precise mechanism, the kidney appears to be uniquely sensitive to IC deposition compared to other organs. Previous studies have exhibited that IC can bind directly to renal parenchymal cells. Radiolabeled aggregates of IgG or IgA localize to the kidney (Barnes et al., 1990; Chen et al., 1988; Gauthier et al., 1982; Mauer et al., 1972; McCluskey et al., 1960) and bind to mesangial cells (MCs) with high specificity (Bagheri et al., 1997). IC binding prospects to complex internalization, cellular proliferation, and release of inflammatory cytokines MCP-1 and IL-12, in rat (Gomez-Guerrero et al., 1994; Sedor et al., 1987; Singhal et al., 1990), human (Radeke et al., 1994), and mouse MCs (Radeke et al., 2002). Visceral epithelial cells isolated from human glomeruli (also referred to as podocytes) have also been shown to bind IC (Haymann et al., 2004). Despite the findings in animal models that circulating IC often first form deposits in subendothelial locations (Barnes et al., 1990; Gauthier et al., 1982; Mauer et al., 1972; McCluskey Peramivir et al., 1960), the capacity of renal endothelial cells (REnCs) to bind IC has not been previously described. Bone marrow-derived cells (BMDC) express receptors for IC that bind to the Fc-region of Immunoglobulin molecules and have thus been named Fc-receptors (FcR). FcR are responsible for mediating antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity by neutrophils and NK cells, antibody-mediated cell phagocytosis by macrophages, and clearance of circulating IC and antibody bound cells (Ravetch and Bolland, 2001). In addition, you will find Ig transporters and FcR-like proteins that can also bind IgG (Wilson et al., 2012). Historically, the expression of FcR by resident glomerular cells has been extremely controversial. There is a paucity of data from human biopsy studies (Jennette et al., 2006), but numerous reports demonstrate expression Peramivir Peramivir by cultured MCs. Constitutive expression of FcRIII protein and RNA has been reported in rat (Santiago et al., 1989) and human MCs (Morcos et al., 1994). Stimulating Peramivir FcR-specific antibodies activate the same pathways in rat MCs as those activated by preformed IC (Morcos et al., 1994; Radeke et al., 1994; Santiago et al., 1989), and receptor binding induces cytokine production (Morcos et al., 1994). Other groups have failed to show basal expression of FcRs (Matre et al., 1980), although expression could be induced with IFN and LPS (Radeke et al., 1994; Uciechowski et al., 1998). Mouse MC constitutively express FcRIIb, but FcRIII expression required activation with IFN (Radeke et al., 2002). In order to better explain the physiologic and pathologic responses to circulating immune complexes in the kidney, model IC derived from mouse IgG had been tested in principal cultures for every citizen glomerular mouse cell type. Furthermore, differences in useful cellular replies had been examined to recognize potential cell-specific systems that could donate to renal damage. 2. Outcomes 2.1 Glomerular Cells Binding to Defense Complexes Principal mouse MCs had been treated with either high temperature aggregated mouse immunoglobulin (HA-mIgG) or preformed antigen-antibody IC. HA-IgG continues to be utilized in days gone by being a model for learning cellular replies to IC, but prior publications used just individual HA-IgG. Mouse MC stain with HA-mIgG favorably, but a lot more weakly with equimolar concentrations of monomeric mouse IgG Peramivir (Fig 1). Staining by immediate immunofluorescence using tagged reagents was comparable to staining by indirect immunofluorescence using unlabeled reagents accompanied by a tagged anti-mouse IgG supplementary F(ab)2 fragments. There is no staining of mouse MCs treated with supplementary antibodies by itself. Preformed antigen-antibody IC made up of peroxidase and mouse anti-peroxidase antibodies (PAP-IC) also stained mouse MCs. Staining happened in the lack or existence of FBS. Fig 1 Mouse Mesangial Renal and Cells Endothelial Cells Bind Defense Complexes The staining of mouse podocytes with HA-mIgG, PAP-IC, and monomeric IgG was no higher than that noticed using supplementary antibodies.

Turkey signalled on Friday, Dec 23 that business reprisals against France will be restricted, saying there are obligations it has to obey in line with World Trade Organization (WTO) and Customs Union norms.
“Turkey has obligations. The Turkish state can’t do this given the WTO and Customs Union rules,” Turkey’s Ambassador to France, Tahsin Burcuoрlu, told reporters when asked to comment on a possible boycott of French goods in response to a French vote on Thursday to criminalize Armenian Genocide denial.
Burcuoрlu did indicate, however, that the “man on the street” has the right to decide what goods to buy and what not to buy.
The French National Assembly, the lower house of the French Parliament, adopted a bill on Thursday that sets a punishment of up to a year in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros for those who deny the Armenian Genocide.
Turkish businessmen earlier warned that French business interests would be also harmed if such a bill were to become law, referring to orders made by Turkish Airlines for Airbus aircraft and planned investments worth billions of dollars in the energy sector for which French companies would likely be bidders.
However, the French government has warned Turkey against imposing unilateral trade sanctions, reminding Ankara of its obligations under WTO rules and its Customs Union agreement with the European Union.
“We have to remember international rules and Turkey is a member of the WTO and is linked to the European Union by a customs union, and these two commitments mean a non-discriminatory policy towards all companies within the European Union,” said French Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero.
The Turkish government has ruled out an embargo, but hinted that a boycott against French goods is not out of the question. “There will be an effect on consumer preferences,” said Turkish Science, Technology and Industry Minister Nihat Ergьn.
Burcuoрlu spoke to reporters upon his return from Paris. He flew to Turkey on Friday after he was recalled indefinitely to Ankara for consultation. His return to Ankara is one of several measures against France that was announced by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoрan on Thursday.
Erdoрan said Turkey was cancelling all economic, political and military meetings with its NATO partner and said it would deny permission for French military planes to land and for warships to dock in Turkey.
French Foreign Affairs Minister Alain Juppe, speaking to journalists after the vote, urged Turkey not to overreact to the assembly decision, calling for “good sense and moderation,” Today’s Zaman reported.

Delicious and meaty, these vegan black-eyed pea burgers are seasoned with just a touch of barbecue sauce for a spicy, smoky flavor.
Move over, African-Inspired Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burgers! I have a new favorite veggie burger, and it’s ridiculously easy to make.
It was inspired by a burger at our local vegetarian restaurant called the “Good Burger,” a black-eyed pea burger that lives up to its name. When a local newspaper recently printed the recipe for Good Burgers, I couldn’t wait to make them.
Of course, I had to play with with the formula a little, put my own personal stamp on it. There were a few ingredients in the recipe that I wanted to avoid–relish, which my husband hates, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos, which I hate, and Panko bread crumbs, which I try to avoid because they’re more processed than I like.
But mainly I wanted to give the burger a flavor boost by replacing ketchup with barbecue sauce (free of high-fructose corn syrup, of course.)
It was a great adaptation, and I knew it while they were baking because of the wonderful aroma that filled the house. The burgers were meaty, firm, and gently seasoned, and oddly, they tasted nothing like black-eyed peas.
While they were baking, I threw some sliced sweet peppers into a hot skillet and cooked them until they were touched with brown.
And, though I would have liked to have served them with Comeback Dressing as the High Noon Cafe does, I didn’t have time to make any, so I compromised by making a quick Sriracha mayo–simply Tofu-Cashew Mayo mixed with a little of the old rooster sauce. The combination was unbelievably good. Make them. You will not regret it.
Barbecue Black-Eyed Pea Burgers
- 1 can cooked black-eyed peas or 1 3/4 cups cooked, drained
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup organic barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos, soy sauce, or tamari
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/4-1 1/2 cups rolled oats, panko, or dried bread crumbs
- Put all ingredients except the oats (or bread crumbs) in the food processor. Pulse a few times, just enough to break up the peas a little but not puree them. Stir in 1 cup of the oats. Check the consistency. It should be moist but not wet. Add more oats to achieve the right consistency.
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Form burger patties on the prepared surface using about 1/2 cup of mixture per burger. Bake for 25-35 minutes. Burgers will be hot throughout, but don’t let get too dry. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.

Innovative way of riding my bike without having to ride 50 mind to work, 40 mins to uni, then over an hour home...bring bike in car. Ride bike from work to uni and vice versa. Put bike in car and drive home.
Had my first experience as a lead during an intermediate (full bronze/early silver) waltz group class last night. OMG, that was fun - probably the best time I've ever had in a group class! Managed to navigate floor traffic, while dancing on time, maintaining my "backwards" frame and remembering the man's footwork!
very stoked....we don't have official permission yet...fingers crossed...but it looks as though dtr is going to be married at Madonna della Strada on the Loyola campus....which is....gorgeous...but, more importantly, we have always had a strong affinity for the Jesuits and their contributions to the world... so the thought of having the service there, where the dali lama(sp?) has spoken, with our dear Jesuit friend presiding, nevermind that is is right on the lake, is just......awesomeful
I got some really awesome Paul Mitechell Hair care products for Christmas that smell like ginger and it mixes so well with the St. Ive's Sea Salt scrub that I picked up last night. The two smells mix well amazingly. I felt like I was in heaven last night.
Birthday surprises were completed successfully and fb had a great time this weekend I am very tired now. One more hoop with his parents coming down. At least they are treating us to lebenese food (last surprise).

Coaching Management, 14.3, March 2006, http://www.momentummedia.com/articles/cm/cm1403/bbminnesota.htm
As of the 2005-06 season, the Land of 10,000 Lakes can also be called the Land of 36 Minutes. Minnesota became the first state to replace eight-minute quarters with 18-minute halves in all its high school varsity basketball games, adding four minutes to each contest. Many coaches applauded the move, but the support wasn’t unanimous.
The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) basketball committee proposed adopting the new format in Feb. 2005, and the league’s board of directors approved it, 12-7. The committee noted that the change would create 20 additional minutes of playing time for each team (four minutes x five players), and that basketball is the shortest timed sport in the state—shorter than football (48 minutes), hockey (51 minutes), and soccer (80 minutes).
“Our coaches had been talking about this for several years because they want increased playing time,” says Kevin Merkle, Associate Director of the MSHSL. “Coaches also believe not having the quarter intermissions enhances the flow of the game. And officials like that it takes away some of those tough decisions on last-second shots at the end of quarters.”
Coaches and administrators who opposed the change worried that smaller schools wouldn’t have the roster depth to compete in longer games, and noted that one-sided routs would be even worse with the extra minutes. “Some people also suggested that officials would want more money for the additional game time, so there was a budget issue as well,” Merkle adds.
Despite these concerns, most coaches and athletic directors in Minnesota favored the move. Merkle says surveys conducted by the MSHSL and the Minnesota Basketball Coaches Association (boys’ and girls’ divisions) each found approximately 70 percent support for the new rule among their members. The MSHSL also surveyed officials to gauge their feelings on extra pay and received mixed responses, though the decision on officials’ stipends remains with individual schools, leagues, or regions.
Ron Larson, Activities Director and Head Boys’ Coach at St. Francis High School, says the uninterrupted halves have greatly improved game flow, and the biggest difference for coaches is a heightened emphasis on developing bench players. “It’s now imperative that we get more kids ready to play, because when you lengthen the game you have to give more players a rest,” he says. “Some coaches say, ‘I don’t have enough players in the first place, so where will I find that extra kid or two?’ I say it behooves all of us to try to find that extra kid or two, and to develop them so they can step in and help the team.”
The NFHS refused to grant a rules variance for the increased game length, and as a result Minnesota lost its representation in basketball rules-making nationally. Merkle says the NFHS only allows states to experiment with new rules if there is considerable support for making the change nationwide, and the Federation didn’t believe that existed for longer games. However, since implementing the change, the MSHSL board of directors has received several calls from other state associations expressing interest in how it has worked out.

Good morning all! Sooooo exciting! Today at my school is Passionately Pink for the cure to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We all are joining the fight to find a cure by wearing PINK and donating to the cause. Well, it just so happens that all I own in pink are SWEATS! Yessssss! I LOOOOOOOVE sweatpants. Cotton is my BEST friend. When I got married I really wanted a cotton wedding dress. Oh well, anyway, today is a comfy and chartiable day- LOVE IT!
OK, so yesterday I got the COOLEST letter EVER! Backstory: at the end of the summer, I decided to donate my hair to an organization that colelcts human hair for wigs given to cancer patients. I have always wanted to do this, but never really got the nerve. So, I looked into Locks of Love, which is WAY outta my league- the hair needs to NOT be processed and ten inches at least. Threw that out the window a long time ago (my “natural blonde highlights” are not so natural to say the least). Anyway, then I found the organization “Pantene Pro-V Great Lengths.” They allowed for processed hair and only required 8 inches. My hair doesn’t grow too fast 😦 So…. I did it! I sent the hair but was quite nervous there might be somethign wrong with it?!?!?!? So yesterday I cam home to an AWESOME letter that I will certianly save from Pantene thanking me- it was AWESOME! My hair worked! A little person going thru a tough time will be able to have a beauuuuuutiful wig 🙂 Happy giving and happy day! For more info of Pantene Great Lengths, click here.
AFTER… (coming soon)

» News Archives - Manicorn HOOOO!
Goodness me, but it was hard to pick a winner for this contest! D= However, after much dithering I have concluded that Captain Clogger is the winning entry! He who mightily clogs the plumbing of villains, for the benefit of all! The winner will receive the first copy of the Real Life Fiction comic book, with Captain Clogger drawn on the back! And thanks to everyone who submitted. The entries were truly a riot to read!
I also have a bit of a treat for everyone. Scotty Iseri has produced a most marvelous ballad for a certain hooved vigilante. Yes! Manicorn has his very own theme song! And it is effin' metal.

Date: August 1951
Creator: Light, Robert W.
Description: The delegation of powers by the Legislature in carrying out school laws has always been a function of that body. In 1929 Justice Walker, in the case of Richardson v. Liberty Independent School District, stated that all powers possessed by school districts have been delegated by the Legislature. The same is true in respect to the powers possessed by the State Board of Education and the county boards of education. All these divisions have been created by law and all their powers delegated by the Legislature.By this study the writer will try to show what trend the Legislature has taken in the delegation of powers concerning,schools. In this study the solution of the following questions will be sought: 1. Is there a tendency toward more delegation of power to the state level of administration? 2. Is there a tendency in the Legislature to give more power to county and local units in the school system? 3. Is the Legislature inclining toward exercising more power on its own initiative? By the study of laws passed by the Legislature delegating powers and retaining powers, these problems can be answered and a definite trend shown.

You don’t need to be a Star Wars fan to know that lasers are powerful weapons.
Laser treatments can address a multitude of skin problems, fighting everything from pigmentation, sluggish skin and acne, to large pores and uneven texture. They are equally effective for rejuvenating the face, neck, and even the eye area. But not all lasers are made equal, so it is important to get the right laser treatment for your needs.
At Halley, we offer a range of laser treatments to solve a variety of skin issues. This includes the Fraxel® Dual Laser for rejuvenating the face, neck and eye area, and the Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser and the Long Pulsed Laser for improving skin tone and texture. If downtime has always been a concern when it comes to laser treatment, the PicoSure® Laser is able to treat ageing concerns of wrinkles and fines lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and tattoos with a recovery time that is shorter compared to traditional non-ablative lasers.
When a laser treatment is combined with other treatments and therapies, the results can be even clearer. For instance, Halley’s Signature 4D Complete Face Rejuvenation laser treatment combines several treatments for a holistic approach to rejuvenating the face. Our treatments can also be combined with pampering treatment facials to make skin maintenance a breeze.
1. Fraxel Dual Laser
The Fraxel Dual Laser uses a focused beam of light for skin rejuvenation and reducing skin irregularities like scars or blemishes. It is an all-rounder, being able to improve skin texture, attack brown spots and scars, and stimulate collagen production. And being non-ablative (which means it tackles only the deeper layers of the skin, leaving the surface layer intact), the Fraxel Dual Laser promotes new skin growth from inside out, offering faster healing, optimal results with less redness, and less downtime than ablative lasers. It can be used to target problem spots under the eye and for neck rejuvenation too.
2. PicoSure Laser
PicoSure is a picosecond laser treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) that delivers ultra-short pulse bursts of energy to the skin in picoseconds (trillionths of a second). Picosecond pulse creates an intense photomechanical impact known as PressureWave™, which uses a special focused lens to convert laser energy into gentle pressure, and shatter the target particles without destroying the surrounding skin tissue. Through its highly-targeted energy delivery, PicoSure is able to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin dermis to revitalise the skin by activating the cell signalling, to stimulate collagen and elastin production which is essential for the skin healing.
PicoSure can treat different skin conditions and is especially effective for pigmentation, acne scars, and wrinkles.
3. Halley’s Signature 4D Complete Face Rejuvenation
Halley’s Signature 4D Complete Face Rejuvenation combines four different laser treatment modes to rejuvenate the skin over a single session. It rejuvenates the face by lifting skin, reducing pores, and improving skin texture and glow. The four laser treatments are:
Laser pore rejuvenation:
This treatment targets the pores, reducing pore size, and improving skin texture to give the skin a smooth, powdered look.
Laser skin tightening:
This step reverses ageing by stimulating collagen-producing fibroblasts to accelerate collagen production. By concentrating on the areas near the jawline, cheeks, and under the eyes, this treatment helps lift the skin for that firm, rejuvenated look.
Superficial unhealthy skin is peeled off at this step. The micro-laser peel exfoliates the skin to reveal healthy, smooth skin with lots of glow.
Oral face tightening:
The step tightens and rejuvenates the face from inside the mouth. This treatment generates collagen to help lift and smoothen out wrinkles around the cheeks, mouth, and smile lines.
4. Long-Pulsed Laser
This versatile, no downtime laser can be used to improve skin texture as well as tighten the skin for the face and neck. It addresses enlarged pores by clearing and rejuvenating pores. Only problematic spots are targeted without harming the surrounding tissue. In a separate treatment mode, the Long Pulsed Laser firms the skin through stimulation of collagen production through cells in the skin called fibroblasts. The laser also targets haemoglobin within the blood vessels, removing fine veins and redness caused by inflammation and acne.
5. Q-Switched Laser
This no downtime laser targets very small pigment cells and particles to even out the skin tone by removing pigments and reduce pore size and fine wrinkles. It can also restore the fresh glow in your face.
6. Laser Treatment for Skin Lumps
Our skin may develop lesions (lumps and bumps) caused by blocked ducts and glands, or coloured spots such as moles. It is best to have them examined by a doctor to make sure they do not require medical attention. Once they are determined to be benign, lasers are effective for their removal. Skin lumps such as milia, syringoma, and moles are effectively removed with lasers.

Apart from me?
Or does it depend on what it is?
Who hates either losing things or lending things out & not getting them back?
Apart from me?
Yes I hate it - in particular the lending things out bit.
That said, when, in the dim & distant past, I've found items, I seem to cherish and care for them more than stuff I've bought. Maybe it's the circumstances in which I've obtained them - feeling lucky etc. and not forking out myself.
Must return that book about the suspicious death of David Kelly to the guy at the end of the street. Thanks for the reminder. Great book - had it for four months!
I've made a vow to stop 'lending' stuff out, as invariably 'can I borrow' means 'can I have with no intention of ever returning and I will make you feel like an arse for even thinking about asking for it back'. This usually refers to money amongst other things.
On the flipside, I always go out of my way to return things - especially money on the very rare occasion that this is necessary.
I'm always left wondering why it's only me that seems to actually think this way though.
Maybe I should start
Oh yes, my pet hate. I have a couple of nice kayaks, stored in a shared facility. Sometimes they are borrowed without notice which boils my wee. The finale was coming back to a snapped rudder and a crease in the deck and no obvious culprit as in nobody had asked to use it. Since then anyone that asks gets a big no. Fux me off big time. I have had to go and retrieve stuff as we'll and my loaned out some oil heaters which we have never seen again. Just rude. On the opposite my awesome neighbour borrowed our house when we were away for a night and we shared a lovely bottle of macallan on him !
I've lost countless books and CDs over the years.. in fact people came to see me as some sort of educational charity foundation I think..
'OOOooooh, where can I get a really good book..?'
'Go and see yunki, he has excellent books and always gives them away for free.. his music collection is excellent too, why don't you grab an album while you're there'
I would even get complete strangers turning up
'hi, you don't know me but so and so said you have a great book collection, could I borrow something some fiction please.. something gritty set in a Northern town perhaps..?'
I was collecting books and music primarily as a resource for any kids that I may have in the future as my parents had naff all culture for us to look at when we were little..
+1 I have totally irrational hatred of losing anything.
having had a few bad experiences I never now lend tools to anyone. I have lost track of the books I have lent to people and not had back
I don't have time to re-read books so I give them away rather than lending them out.
Tools only get lent to responsible adults, I don't mind if I have to ask for them back - we're all busy people.
Not returning records or CDs is the height of rudeness in my eyes though.

The Hunting Lodge
The Hunting Lodge produce beautiful wines from sites across NZ, particularly West Auckland, Marlborough and Central Otago. Their West Auckland spot charmingly tells their story with vines lining the drive as you come in, a lush vege garden off to one side and then a community of buildings surrounding each other.
One of the buildings that stands out is their restaurant and it's a longstanding symbol of the quality that The Hunting Lodge produce in regards to both their wine and food. It's a beautiful Villa with character and charm yet simplicity and approachability.
A term you'll hear a lot around The Hunting Lodge is 'pasture-to-plate philosophy' and this involves the team growing as much produce as they can on site to supply their restaurant and sourcing whatever else they need locally.
This ethos carries through to their wines as they have a strong sense of terroir and place due to minimal interventionist winemaking techniques. Personality and uniqueness is therefore in abundance, and this is only emphasised by some of the unique varietals The Hunting Lodge use to produce wines. Lagrein anyone?!
Pete, the winemaker, answered a few of our questions about the 2019 vintage, his favourite grape and more, so if you want to keep ready click here!

Editorial: The Real Devil
We Christadelphians stand with our backs to the world when it comes to
our unique understanding of Satan. We’re the only denomination to
reject the existence of a superhuman Devil, and to locate the blame for
sin solely within the human heart, unflinchingly accepting that evil in
its wider sense originates with God and not with any Satan figure. Ursula
LeGuin wrote powerfully of "all the pain and suffering and waste
and loss and injustice we will meet all our lives long, and must face
and cope with over and over, and admit, and live with, in order to live
human lives at all". This is indeed how it is: her cancer, the tragedy
of his life, the tsunami here and the repression of human rights there,
the deeply hidden regrets and secret sins of every human life... over
and over we have to rise each day and live with it all.
It seems to me that the burden of it all, the sheer pain and difficulty
of the struggle to understand, has led people to simply give up, and blame
it all on a personal Satan who fell off the 99th floor and came down here
to mess up our nice, good little lives. But simplistic ten cent answers
to these million dollar questions aren’t good enough for us. Quite
rightly we’ve concluded that legitimate responses and understandings
are not going to be found in a pagan myth, no matter how respectably it's
been developed by bunk theology.
In this editorial I want to bring out the implications of our understanding
of Satan, knowing that the whole purpose of true doctrine is the radical
transformation of human life in practice. For if we leave all this at
the level of mere ideas, lodged merely within some complex brain chemistry
beneath our skulls, we will have totally missed the point. These 'ideas'
must have real encounter with our whole personalities. I mean that reading
the Bible, or this book or that book about the Bible as we ride to work
or a few pages each night before sleep takes us... really should and can
have a gripping effect upon human personality, upon our entire world-view,
taking us far beyond our safe, sleepy little bedtime studies, out into
the most fundamental issues of the cosmos, and into the real issues of
the dirty lives we humans live out on the face of this spectacularly beautiful
planet. The fruit of correct understanding of these issues will, in the
end, be love, and walking humbly with our God. I urge you to take these
reflections especially seriously; for I believe our community faces a
huge danger in purely academic study of God's word which doesn't lead
to any accepted practice.
When we are told: "Resist the devil and he will flee from you"
(James 4:7), we hardly imagine ourselves wrestling with a literal beast
who runs away just because we put up a fight. To put any meaning into
James words it must surely be apparent that he is speaking of the need
to resist sin in our minds, and that very process of resistance will lead
to the temptation receding. The fact that the Lord Jesus really conquered
the Devil should mean for us that in our struggles against sin, victory
is ultimately certain. If we grasp this, we will battle daily for control
of the mind, we will strive to fill our mind with God's word, we will
do our daily readings, we will be cynical of our motivations, we will
examine ourselves, we will appreciate the latent liability to sin which
we and all men have by nature. We won't take the weakness of others towards
us so personally; we will see it as their 'devil'.
Belief in a personal Devil is so popular, because it takes the focus
away from our struggle with our innermost nature and thoughts. Yet whilst
we Christadelphians don't believe in a personal Devil, we can create the
same thing in essence; we can create an external devil such as TV or Catholicism,
and feel that our entire spiritual endeavour must be directed to doing
battle with these things, rather than focusing on our own weaknesses.
A lack of focus on personal sinfulness and the need for personal cleansing
and growth, with the humility this will bring forth, can so easily give
place to a focus instead upon something external to us as the real enemy.
Realizing who ‘the devil’ really is inspires us to more concretely
fight against him.
We should not blame our nature for our moral failures in the way that
some blame an external devil. We must hang our head over every sin. In
this we will find the basis for a true appreciation of grace, a true motivation
for works of humble response, a true flame of praise within us, a realistic
basis for a genuine humility. We really can achieve some measure of self
control; it cannot be that God is angry with us simply because we are
human. It cannot be that our nature forces us to sin in a way which we
can never counteract. The Lord Jesus shared our nature and yet didn't
commit sin, and in this He is our ever- beckoning example and inspiration.
The question, 'What would Jesus do…?' in this or that situation
has all the more inspirational power once we accept that the Lord Jesus,
tempted just as we are, managed to put the devil within Him to death,
triumphing over it in the cross, even though He bore our nature. People
tend to say parrot-fashion such this as, ‘I'm a sinner’, 'going
to heaven', 'satan', without the faintest idea what they are really saying.
And we can do just the same - we can speak of 'Sin' with no real idea
what we ought to feel and understand by it.
If we truly perceive and believe that, in fact, ‘the devil’
and its power has been vanquished in Jesus, if we survey the wondrous
cross and see there the power of the devil finally slaughtered in the
perfect mind of the Lord Jesus, and that ultimate victory of victories
shared with us who are in Him… the source, the root cause, of so
much neurosis and dysfunction, is revealed to us as powerless. For we
who have given in and do give in to temptation, who submit to ‘the
violence within’ all too often, who are at times beaten in the fight,
have been saved from the power of that defeat by grace and forgiveness,
and are counted by the God of all Grace as being ‘in Christ’.
The Lord Jesus was the one who overcame that ‘violence within’
moment by moment, as well as in the more accentuated and obvious scenes
of ‘the violence within’ which we see in the wilderness temptations
and on the cross. And, by grace, we are counted as in Him. No wonder that
to achieve this He had to share human nature in order to overcome it.
Perfectly and seamlessly, one true aspect of Biblical interpretation thus
leads to another, and becomes the basis for a transformed life in practice.
It would be fair to say that the Biblical devil refers to our self-talk
- the very opposite of the external devil idea. Jesus pinpointed the crucial
importance of self-talk in His parable of the rich fool, who said to himself
that he had many goods, and discussed with his own “soul”
the need for greater barns etc. (Lk. 12:17-19). If we at least realize
that our self-talk is potentially our greatest adversary [‘satan’],
then we will find the strength to move towards genuine spiritual mindedness,
“bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ”.
In Deuteronomy 15:9 Moses was warning Israel: “Beware that there
be not a word in thy wicked heart” - don’t have self-talk
that says because the year of release was coming soon, you would not lend
your brother anything. Here we have the Old Testament equivalent of the
New Testament ‘devil’. We can control our self-talk, but we
must be aware that it takes place. Moses is basically saying: ‘Beware
of your own self-talk; see how you speak to yourself in unfinished sentences
like “The year of release is at hand…”, resulting in
you ‘finishing the sentence’ by unkind deeds. Perceiving the
reality and power of our own self-talk is one outcome of truly comprehending
who the devil is. Ps. 36:1 warns: "Sin speaks to the wicked man in
his heart" (Heb.).
Our self-talk actually defines where we go in our relationships. If we
have a certain ‘self-talk’ opinion of someone and yet speak
and act nicely to them, sooner or later we won’t be able to keep
up the act. “An unconscious relationship is more powerful than a
conscious one”. What you say to yourself about your wife, how you
analyze to yourself the actions of your child… this has the real
power, far beyond any forms of words and outward behaviour we may show.
Yet, sadly, this world thinks that how you say things is all important;
it’s a running away from the importance and crucial value of the
real ‘self’ within.
Sin De-Emphasized and Minimized
It's commonly understood that human beings frequently practice 'projection'
onto others of certain attitudes and behaviours with which they themselves
struggle. It seems to me that the Satan concept is a classic case. People
have taken all the aspects of God's personality with which we struggle
- not least, that He brings evil into our lives - and they've also taken
all the aspects of our own personality which we dislike, our sin, our
unpleasantness... and projected them onto an external being called Satan.
All this is not only a minimizing of our own sin; it's an attempt to remake
'God' into our image who we think He should be. It's blasphemous - as
well as demeaning to Him, and reflects our huge barrier to accepting that
we are not God, that we are sinners and need to work on self-improvement
rather than projecting all our weakness away from ourselves and onto something
or someone else. Conversely, an awareness of our sin is the basis for
the joy and marvel we experience of God's grace, that energy to serve
Him and love Him through thick and thin, which so many Christians privately
admit that they lack.
Out of Denial
For a long time I was unwilling to give myself wholly to this idea that
sin is solely rooted in the individual human heart. I would have gone
along with Jeffrey Russell's comment that, "It is true that there
is evil in each of us, but adding together even large numbers of individual
evils does not enable anyone to explain an Auschwitz". Why did I
have that impression, and why was it so strong and so intuitive? Because
I simply didn't want to face up to what Paul calls, 'the exceeding sinfulness
of sin' (Rom. 7:13). Paul speaks of how God had had to reveal ‘sin
as sin’ to him. That process goes on in each of us. Instead of thinking
that sin is an occasional ‘whoopsy’, we come to see that it
really is the radical issue which the Bible presents it as.
The example of Auschwitz is personally significant for me. Living in
Eastern Europe, I visited Auschwitz four times over a period of 16 years.
It was only on the fourth visit that I came to disagree with Russell's
comment. Quite simply we radically, seriously, majorly and above all dangerously
under-estimate the power of human sin and the colossal influence for evil
which our sinful actions, thoughts and decisions can have upon others.
My intuitive desire to find some bigger source of evil to explain the
Holocaust is probably typical of the struggle we all have to not only
minimize our own sin, but also the sin of humanity. Paul Tournier’s
psychological study, The Violence Within, shows how within each person
there is a huge battle between the right and the wrong, good and evil,
temptation and resistance to temptation. This battle goes on constantly,
over even the most insignificant things - e.g. the choice to take an instant
dislike to another person, to get angry and aggressive because we feel
a person in a restaurant is somehow laughing at us, etc. Levi-Strauss
came to the same conclusions in The Savage Mind - a book whose title says
it all. We must unflinchingly face our own huge capacity for evil. The
same essential sinful tendencies are within us as within the most depraved
rapist or sadist. Solzhenitsyn lamented: "If only it were all so
simple! If only... it were necessary only to separate [evil people] from
the rest of us and destroy them! But the line dividing good and evil cuts
through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy
a piece of his own heart?"
The 'Devil' remains an unexamined assumption in much of Christianity,
and in most societies and religions. The presence of unexamined assumptions
in our lives and hearts, as well as in societies, ought to be a red flag.
Why, in this age of apparently fearless examination, eager toppling of
examples, deconstruction of just about everything, rigorous research,
trashing of tradition, brutal testing of assumptions... does the Devil
idea remain an unexamined assumption? I suggest it's because to reject
that tradition of a personal satan [for that's all it is - tradition]
and get down to living out the Biblical position on the Devil demands
just too much. It's hard to accept all negative experience in life as
ultimately allowed and even sent by a loving God, it's humiliating to
realize we're only tiny children, whose view of good and evil isn't fully
that of our Father; and it's the call of a lifetime to recognize that
our own personal, natural passions and desires are in fact the great satan
The Value of Persons
The de-emphasis of sin by the personal Satan theory also results in a
devaluing of personal salvation and the meaning of the individual. Grace
means little on a personal level for any of us if our salvation was really
an abstract transaction which occurred somewhere out in the cosmos between
God and Satan. The Biblical picture is so much more personally gripping
- salvation was achieved by a man, Jesus the Son of God, here on this
earth, on a stake outside Jerusalem. He died in love for us, for the forgiveness
of our personal sins, rather than to provide some payment to a cosmic
creature called Satan. The essential failure is not of the cosmos - it
is the failure in our individual response to God's love and grace.
Responsibility for Actions
Understanding that sin comes from within leads us to a far higher level
of responsibility for our own actions - as well as teaching us to hold
others the more responsible for theirs, too. Responsibility is something
sadly and increasingly lacking in the modern world. We justify both ourselves
and others, to the point that real feelings of contrition, humility, joy
at the experience of forgiveness, realistic and victorious striving for
self-improvement, all seem little known in the lives of many today.
Don’t Demonize Others
There's a huge attraction to the idea that we here on earth are somehow
on the side of God and Jesus, who are engaged in a cosmic conflict with
the Devil in Heaven. It empowers us to assume that anyone against us on
earth must therefore be somehow 'of the devil', and we are made to feel
that any aggression towards them or description of them in Satanic terms
is somehow legitimate. The real, Biblical understanding of Satan is so
different, and calls us to personal self-control, self-examination, awareness
of our weakness and Christ's strength - and this, in turn, affects our
attitude to others. Rather than witch-hunting and demonizing, even within
the ecclesia, we become understanding of human weakness and sensitive
to the human condition.
I have on my computer a file of images of cartoons and posters which
demonize people as the Devil. In the two world wars, each side 'demonized'
the other. Since 1945, Soviets demonized their enemies with 'Satan' features
even though they officially didn't believe in Satan nor God; Western powers
likewise 'Satanized' the Soviets. More recently, the West has done the
same in their cartoons of Islamic leaders and terrorists; and Islamic
cartoonists have done likewise in representing Western and Israeli leaders
as 'the great Satan'. Bosnian Moslems and Serbian Christians did the same
to each other in the wars which wracked the former Yugoslavia... flicking
through those images on my hard drive is a depressing experience. Everyone
is out to demonize the other, and drawing horns and tail on 'the other
guy' is obviously so easy and attractive. And whilst most of us aren't
into drawing cartoons, we effectively tend to do the same in conflicts
great and small; in our minds we deface the image of others by scribbling
horns and tail on them. This form of Dualism is very attractive to our
judgmental human minds; it lends itself to categorizing life and society
in a simplistic binary manner, into Us and Them, Cowboys and Indians,
Hero and Villain, Friend and Foe... whilst all the time missing the point
that the ultimate struggle is within the human mind.
Freedom from Fear
Psychologists suggest that there is something within the human psyche
that needs to fear, that wants to fear. Just look at the huge success
of terror stories, movies, images, Stephen King novels and the way that
the media realizes that their global audience laps up fear and sensationalism
about terror. One common thread throughout all the pagan forerunners of
the 'personal satan' idea is that the pagan concepts all involved the
generation of fear and terror. True Christianity "casts out"
such fear (1 Jn. 4:18). So many control systems have played upon fear
of the devil - to bring children into subdued obedience, flocks into submission
to pastors, etc. This is not how God works; He isn't a psychological manipulator.
"For fear has torment" (1 Jn. 4:18), and this is exactly what
true understanding of the cross of Christ saves us from. And yet it could
be said that humanity is increasingly addicted to fear. People may mock
fearing a Loch Ness monster, werewolves, funny sounds at night... but
they still buy in big time to fearing a personal Devil. There's something
in people that wants to fear something; that just loves the popular idea
of a personal Satan.
A Final Appeal
I would have failed my readership if I left you with an invitation to
merely repress your sinful desires in a kind of clinical, legalistic way.
By repressing our destructive feelings, we can end up creating a negative
force within us which bursts out at times. An example would be the highly
self-controlled Christian who at times gives vent to their aggression
in screaming fits against their partner or co-worker, over a totally minor
issue. Those repressed feelings don't just disappear because they're repressed-
they can lead to anything from stomach ulcers to self-hatred. Solzhenitsyn
again: "In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within
us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and
it will rise up a thousandfold in the future".
The answer involves a complete submission to the Lord Jesus Christ as
our personal Lord and Master, and believing and acting as if we are "in
Christ", with His righteousness and personality counted to us in
what Paul calls 'imputed righteousness'. Our self-perception changes,
so that, although we sin, we perceive ourselves as being "in Christ",
acting as He acted, thinking as He thought. Paul speaks in Romans 7 of
his miserable failure at self-control and repression of sin, explaining
how he simply couldn't repress what was wrong because it was too strong...
and he goes on in Romans 8 to thank God that the way of escape was through
being "in Christ" and having the mind / spirit / indwelling
personality of the Lord Jesus. And all this is in the context of his appeal
in Romans 6 for us to understand baptism as a yielding of ourselves to
Christ personally, "crucified with him, that the body of sin might
be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; for he
that hath died is justified [freed] from sin... even so reckon ye also
yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ... for sin
shall not have dominion over you... being then made free from sin, you
come the servants of righteousness... but now being made free from sin,
and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the
end - eternal life".

Public-safety agency partners with Ewa on spectrum issues
White Settlement, Texas, is a city located on the west side of Fort Worth, and if you look at White Settlement on a map, you’ll also see that it is basically surrounded by that major city. Fort Worth is the city known as “Where the West Begins,” which would make White Settlement the absolute leading edge of the West.
According to Lt. John “J.P.” Bevering, who is in charge of communications for White Settlement, this gave rise to a “profound interoperability challenge,” being in that location and one that was met in accordance with the official motto for White Settlement, “Preserving the past, preparing for the future.”
“We were on VHF and we were the only VHF system on the west side of the entire Dallas /Fort Worth Metroplex,” Bevering remembered. “We contacted EWA to search out 800 MHz frequencies because we needed to build a new radio infrastructure.”
EWA assisted White Settlement by locating vacated Sprint channels. After that, the next challenge was creating a regional system with other smaller departments in the area — a process that ended up taking about two and a half years from basic concept to final system readiness.
At this point, Westworth Village, which also handles dispatch duties for another small community called Lakeside, is on the same system and there are plans to work with another community as well once their funding is in place. All of the cities, Bevering points out, border each other.
The best illustration of the needed interoperability is what Bevering called “The WalMart incident.” The WalMart building is located in Westworth, Texas; the store’s parking lot is in White Settlement. “So, there is an incident in the store and once they run into the parking lot, you have two different agencies involved,” Bevering remembered. That incident, which highlighted the great need for interoperability very clearly, was the precipitating event for the new regional system.
The system they put in place — working with grants and a city bond — is a Motorola Astro P25 digital system, and White Settlement was one of the first agencies in the Dallas /Fort Worth Metroplex to move in that direction with a digital system.
Bevering is pleased with the system because it also means they did the narrow banding process at the beginning. The radio system not only accommodates the thirty-two sworn police officers in White Settlement, it encompasses the public works department and the fire department.
“We didn’t have the time and resources to find talk groups and channels in the 800 MHz frequencies,” Bevering pointed out. “EWA searched, researched and negotiated the acquisition of those channels for us and worked with the FCC and the FAA.”
EWA currently is researching additional frequencies for this public-safety agency so they can expand their system to include additional agencies.
In terms of a digital system, Bevering has a word of advice, “This is what it will eventually come down to, the technology will be digital and will be the only way to go. Get on the bandwagon or be left alone like we were for so long with VHF and old equipment.” Or, to paraphrase the White Settlement city motto, “Preserve the past and prepare for the future.”

Objective: To report a rare case of diabetes caused by type B insulin resistance due to development of insulin receptor autoantibodies during treatment of hepatitis C with interferon-α and ribavirin. Methods: Clinical and laboratory findings in the case are presented. The literature on type B insulin resistance and interferon-induced autoimmunity is reviewed. Results: A 55-year-old African American man with hepatitis C was treated with interferon and ribavirin. Eight months later, he presented with rapid onset of hyperglycemia, profound weakness, and weight loss. Severe hyperglycemia persisted despite insulin infusion rates as high as 125 U/h. The presence of insulin receptor autoantibodies was confirmed by immunoprecipitation of recombinant human insulin receptor with patient serum. Assays for autoantibodies to islet cell antigens and glutamic acid decarboxylase were negative. The interferon and ribavirin were discontinued. His insulin requirement spontaneously declined to low levels over a 6-month period. Two years after discharge of the patient, insulin receptor autoantibodies could no longer be demonstrated in his serum. He remains euglycemic and is no longer taking insulin. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that type B insulin resistance can occur as a complication of interferon- a therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the United States of type B insulin resistance with development of insulin receptor autoantibodies during treatment with interferon-a. (Endocr Pract. 2009;15: 153-157).

The days are getting shorter and there is a definite chill in the air as summer seems a distant memory.
Along with the colder weather, dark evenings and Halloween getting closer, we also have an extra hour in bed to look forward to.
Although it's a day that many parents across the country look forward to, we often wonder why it happens.
This year, the clocks go back on Sunday, October 28 at 2am, as we revert to Greenwich Mean Time.
But why do we change the clocks?
Stoke-on-Trent Live reported that the moving of the clocks - forward in March and back in October - was first introduced in the First World War by the Germans to save on the use of coal.
It was invented by George Vincent Hudson, a New Zealand entomologist in 1895, while British businessman William Willett is also credited with the idea as a way of getting up earlier and so having more daylight hours after work.
The daylight savings time came into widespread use during the 1970s to help with the energy crisis.
All your clocks on devices such as phones, tablets and iPods should update automatically, but don't forget those on your watch, car and appliances such as your oven and microwave.
How do I prepare my child for the clock change?
The theory is: 6 days before (eg Monday), you change your child’s routine by making it run 10 minutes later. The next day, you push it back another 10 mins, and so on.
That means by Thursday you’re at 6.40pm, when the world is still at 6pm. By Sunday, the world catches up with you, and your child is none the wiser, contentedly settled into the routine.
However, according to www.madeformums.com it's not always possible to do that. But neither is making bedtime an hour later.
Katie Palmer, from Infant Sleep Consultant. “Your child is still likely to wake up at normal time on Sunday,” says Katie. It turns out our internal sleep clocks are pretty powerful.
However Katie has suggested another approach. She said: “Accept that your child will probably wake up at the normal time but see if you can keep them in their cot or bed for 10 minutes or so longer.
“Meal times can help to set your body clock,” says Katie, so she suggests making mealtimes one of the key timing changes.
- Breakfast - 15 minutes later
- Lunch - 35 minutes later
- Tea - 60 minutes later
Unfortunately it may prove rather tricky to keep your kids on bed for another hour, but they will eventually get used to time change. Until the clocks change again in 2019, that is.

The Lustgarten Foundation Awards $25 Million to Accelerate the Rate of Pancreatic Cancer Research
The Lustgarten Foundation, the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, today announced that it has awarded $25 million in new multi-year research grants. The research initiatives and clinical trials are focused primarily on developing early detection methods and better therapeutic options, and testing them with patients.
“The Lustgarten Foundation is contributing this significant funding to accelerate the movement of successful research results from the lab into clinical trials, so we can directly impact the treatment of individuals with pancreatic cancer and develop life-saving tests and more effective therapies,” said Dr. David Tuveson, M.D., Ph.D., director of research for The Lustgarten Foundation. “Pancreatic cancer is the nation’s most lethal cancer and, unlike other cancers, death rates are unfortunately on the rise. The urgent need for additional funding and a scientific framework for action were even recognized by Congress and President Barack Obama when they passed and signed into law the Recalcitrant Cancer Research Act. We look forward to working with the National Cancer Institute on further progress in this area.”
The new grants will support important research advancements at 18 world-renowned scientific and medical institutions, including Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Part of this funding will go toward several new clinical trials to test ways of detecting the disease earlier, which is a critical area of research since there are no early detection tests for pancreatic cancer. Another clinical trial will test a revolutionary approach to pancreatic cancer treatment though immunotherapy.
New Clinical Trials:
- Johns Hopkins’ Dr. Bert Vogelstein and his team will conduct two clinical trials with 1,600 individuals across five continents aimed at developing diagnostic tests that would allow patients to take a simple blood test to check for pancreatic cancer and to know whether a pancreatic cyst is benign or malignant. These clinical trials are building on the successful results from a prior study funded by The Lustgarten Foundation (see published findings: Science Translational Medicine, 7/20/11).
- Led by Dr. Hadassa Degani, Ph.D., at the Weizmann Institute of Science, another clinical trial will focus on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology in tandem with fluids to identify pancreatic cancer tumors with greater clarity at earlier stages. The application of this technology has the potential to be used in every major treatment center.
- A clinical trial led by Dr. Carl June and Dr. Gregory Beatty at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania will focus on altering and training a patient’s immune system to target and eliminate cancer cells. Using a revolutionary new approach, a patient’s T cells will be genetically modified to express protein complexes known as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), which act as a tool to help the reprogrammed T cells recognize and destroy pancreatic cancer cells. This research has already shown very promising results in other cancers, such as leukemia.
Pancreatic cancer is the most lethal of all cancers, with only six percent of individuals diagnosed with the disease surviving five years. Since its inception in 1998, The Lustgarten Foundation has provided more than $65 million in support of pancreatic cancer research. Cablevision Systems Corporation, a leading media and telecommunications company, underwrites all of the Foundation’s administrative costs, so that 100 percent of every dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to this important research.
About The Lustgarten Foundation and Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is swift and silent, often undetected until it’s too late. More than 37,000 people will die from it this year. The overall five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is six percent and most individuals with advanced cancer die within a year. There are no early detection tests, no effective long-term treatments and, unless the cancer is surgically removed in its earliest stages, no cure. It is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.
The Lustgarten Foundation is America’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research. Based in Bethpage, New York, the Foundation supports research to find a cure for pancreatic cancer, facilitates dialogue within the medical and scientific community, and educates the public about the disease through awareness campaigns and fundraising events. The Foundation has provided millions of research dollars and assembled the best scientific minds with the hope that one day, a cure can be found. Cablevision Systems Corporation, a leading media and telecommunications company, underwrites all of The Lustgarten Foundation’s administrative costs, so that 100 percent of every dollar donated to the Foundation goes directly to pancreatic cancer research.

Sixty years of RTÉ television marked in an exhibition of photographs at the National Photographic Archive.
On 31 December 1961 Ireland’s first television service Telefís Éireann went on air. During the countdown to a new year the live broadcast cut to a clock face with both hands on twelve. The clock at the Custom House in Dublin had been photographed at midday weeks in advance. The photograph mounted on a black card through the magic of television created the stroke of midnight in the mind of viewers.
An integral part of television production and promotion, photographs were used in news reports, in the creation of graphics and title sequences for programmes. The images have been the backdrops in television studios and illustrated stories and covers in the RTÉ Guide.
RTÉ with the National Library of Ireland is marking RTÉ television at 60 with, Ireland On The Box, an exhibition of photographs. These images reveal the changing styles in programme production and presentation. They offer a taste of the range of news, sport, drama, entertainment, education and events produced and broadcast on RTÉ television. They remind us of the presenters, performers and people who have contributed to putting Ireland on the box.
Ireland On The Box runs at the National Photographic Archive, Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin from Wednesday 29th December 2021. The free exhibition is presented by RTÉ Archives and the National Library of Ireland.

Special Issue "Sustainable Architecture and Design"
Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (30 April 2017) | Viewed by 32911
Interests: sustainable building; smart and bioclimatic design; climate adaptation; sustainable urban energy systems; circularity; resilient cities
This Special Issue deals with the three great challenges for the future of the built environment: Climate change, depletion of fossil fuels and scarcity of resources. The next generation of stakeholders, for instance, planners, urban designers, developers, architects and engineers, has to work with different boundary conditions than previous generations. Therefore, they have a heavy task at hand and can make a big difference in sustainable development of the world. In line with the three challenges, the built environment needs to become climate adaptive, fossil free (energy neutral) and circular. Our growing cities need to become resilient. This demands for new or renewed methods for planning and design, new technology, new governance and new business models. More than just scientific theory and methodology, thoroughly evaluated examples from practice are needed, as well as well-founded action agendas, based on local interventions with positive global impacts. With this in mind we invite scholars around the world to contribute to this Special Issue of Sustainability.

All Ren Clean Skincare products are cruelty-free and the brand is committed to sustainability with a pledge to Zero Waste packaging by the end of 2021.
In fact, Daily AHA Tonic's plastic bottle now use 100% post-consumer recycled material. 👍
My Verdict: Get ready to glow with Ren Clean Skincare Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic featuring lactic acid, willow bark extract, azelaic acid precursors, and citric fruit acids to promote a significantly brighter, clearer, and smoother complexion, every single day!
However, it's pretty potent so if you have sensitive skin, I'd skip this one as it does include denatured alcohol with a strong pumpkin wine fragrance.
PCA Skin also added antioxidants like clove and ginger root to prevent free radical damage.
My Verdict: Dinner is served (for your skin, anyways) with refreshing pumpkin wine, lactic acid, aminoguanidine, and antioxidants, to keep your skin looking soft & supple for much longer.
Regardless of your primary skin concern, there's something in this formula for everyone and it's reasonably affordable as well.
My Verdict: For the absolute best ingredient list (seriously, check it out yourself), HydroPeptide wins first place with an extensive formula of lactic acid, orange stem cell extract, loads of peptides, additional AHAs, botanical extracts, vitamin C (MAP), and hyaluronic acid.
My Verdict: Tone and brighten your sensitive skin in less than a minute with First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads, a convenient and affordable toning solution with AHAs, soothing plant extracts, and antioxidants.
On the other hand, Ole Henriksen tends to use more fragrance (it's listed near the top of the ingredient list) so if you find it bothersome, go with fragrance-free First Aid Beauty instead.
My Verdict: Dark spots, begone with ye! (*cue Shakespeare*) Let Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner restore your skin's natural brightness and clarity with AHAs, witch hazel, and soothing extracts.
Meanwhile, salicylic acid penetrates oily skin to flush out toxins and excess oils from clogged pores and licorice root extract brightens sun spots and corrects uneven skin tone.
My Verdict: Exfoliate, brighten, and hydrate with StriVectin 3-in-1 Tri-Phase Daily Glow Toner featuring patented NIA114, mandelic, lactic, and hyaluronic acid, and botanical extracts to reduce hyperpigmentation and promote naturally gorgeous and glowing skin.
Finally, organic extracts of green tea, chamomile, calendula, and arnica soothe inflammation and assist with your skin's natural recovery process.
Tom is the founder and editor of TheDermDetective.com where he applies his decades of personal experience with skincare problems like acne and acne scarring to provide readers with practical advice and product recommendations.

I’ve always been drawn to candles and fire, and I use candle magic on a regular basis. When I paused to think about it before writing this post, I realized that my candle spells seem to split into three different categories: devotion, gratitude, and requests.
Candle magic for devotion has long been a part of my daily routine; the first candle I light when I come to my little bedroom altar each night is dedicated to Isis. Although the candle changes (often, I use a blue lotus candle holder, but lately, I’ve been using a tall, white pillar candle), I always light this before beginning any other work, even if it’s the only candle I light. I offer a prayer of to Isis when I light the candle and when I extinguish it, sometimes a vague, short phrase, and other times, a specific list of ways I’ve noted her presence in my day. Although I work with a variety of goddesses, I am a priestess of Isis, and using a candle to connect with her each night feels right to me.
The second type of candle magic I regularly perform is to give thanks. I keep a stash of “spell candles”, tiny tapers that are about three inches high and can be purchased at any metaphysical store and some holistic grocery stores, and whenever something moves me to gratitude, I pull out a white spell candle and light it as an offering. I use candle magic to express gratitude for both large and small moments, but the one thing that doesn’t change is the burning of the candle itself; when I am working gratitude magic, I let the candle burn itself out on my altar. I poke my head into the bedroom every so often to make sure the candle is burning safely, and luckily my cat has never tried to explore the top of my altar, but still, it’s good to be conscious of mundane as well as magical safety when working candle magic. I practice this type of magic outside the home, too; whenever I’ve visited a church that moves me, I’ve lit a candle if they are provided, and I always feel a moment of blissful connection, unifying my home practice to the outside world.
Candle magic is an easy way to connect to the Universe and your chosen divinity, and it’s still the type of spell craft I turn to most often for fast results.
What type of simple magic do you gravitate toward?

Notts Senior League
MAGDALA AMATEURS 3 BURTON JOYCE 0
Well with ten days to go to the Notts Senior League Groundhop, I visited the FIRST CLUB to host a game next Friday Night, Magdala Amatuers who tonight were playing host to 3rd placed Burton Joyce. As I entered the ground, I was greeted by a fellow hopper who last saw me down in Cornwall some two years ago and was up in the Nottinghamshire area as he was a Middlesex Cricket Fan and they play Notts at Trent Bridge tomorrow. He had seen the fixture in the Non League Traveller and decided to come along.
I was then greeted by both clubs committees and managements who I have met during this season. Me and the fellow hopper went to pitchside and was soon joined by a local man who had moved up here some 7 years ago from the smoke.
The match kicked off and Magdala nearly took the lead in the first minute when a flashing shot went just wide of the target, but they didnt have to wait very long to get their deserved lead, when after 6 minutes LEE SUTTON put the ball in the net.
Magdala went on to miss quite a few chances and you had a feeling that the visitors may just break away and score one. Towards Half time, I then joined Attenborough FC's manager Roberto. We had a good chat as he is always good company and enjoys his non league footie.
On 75 minutes, the left winger went down from a clumbsy challenge and in my view didnt look a penalty but the referee was in a fair better position to me to view it and he pointed straight to the spot. This seemed to incense the Burton Joyce players and a couple of them lost abit of discipline instead of getting on with the game. LEE SUTTON stepped up and planted the penalty out of the keepers reach.
With 3 minutes left LEE SUTTON wrapped up his hat-trick which the visiting defence felt was offside but one defender was holding the forward on. Again this led to the away side getting upset. Then within the next minute, the referee sent a Burton Joyce player from the pitch.
Overall, I have seen Magdala three times this season and they do look a good unit and will be a good team to have on this seasons hop..tonight the score could and should have been a lot greater, as I have witnessed Burton Joyce a couple of times this season and they are a good side but tonight they just wasnt at the races as they say.

How fast does my computer need to be for college courses?
Your computer should be able to run at normal speed while having multiple windows open. Some may be playing videos, downloading music or programs, or viewing documents. Most laptops being sold to students today have more than 2GHz of processing power. This is a pretty good baseline to draw when shopping for a laptop.
Simply put, a student’s laptop is his or her lifeline. You’ll be on your laptop several hours per day, whether you’re writing computer code, typing an essay, researching a topic, or just checking Facebook. A laptop needs to be able to handle all of these tasks-sometimes simultaneously-and still operate with reasonable speed.
That being said, an English or Philosophy major who uses Microsoft Word and Adobe Reader is going to put less stress on their computer than an engineer who uses MATLAB or a computer programmer who uses Java. If all you need out of a computer are relatively basic functions, processing power is of less concern to you. Based on your interests, try to figure out what the specific uses of your computer may be.
What type of graphics card do I need in my laptop?
It depends upon your course of study. The chart below should help you go forward in your decision.
|Liberal Arts (History, English, Linguistics, etc.)||Standard||Intel HD Graphics 4000|
|Engineering||High: Engineering-specific||NVIDIA Quadro FX|
|Graphic Design||High: Design-specific||NVIDIA GTX 570|
|Architecture||High: 3D-specific||NVIDIA Quadro 4000|
|Video Game and Graphic Programming||High: Program- and Design-specific||ADM Radeon HD 570|
|Foreign Language||Standard||Intel HD Graphics 4000|
|Life Sciences (Biology, etc.)||Standard||Intel HD Graphics 4000|
|Math||Standard||Intel HD Graphics 4000|
This just presents a starting point from which to explore the world of graphics cards. Many options exist and in today’s diverse market you should be able to find a graphics card to suit your needs. For the majority of students, the graphics card that comes with your laptop is going to be more than enough. For some, however, student life can benefit greatly from improved graphics. Not only does your choice depend upon your major, but upon your hobbies and interests: Are you a film buff, for instance? If so, your experience can be enhanced by a step up in the graphics processing unit (GPU) department. Are you a gamer? Then look for gaming-specific graphics cards.
Students are studying a variety of subjects simultaneously. A common hybrid course of study, for example, is a double major in math and computer science. Naturally, it doesn’t make sense to buy two graphics cards to accommodate your two majors, so even though a high-end graphics card is not necessary for math homework, it might serve well to buy a high-quality graphics card for computer science needs.
What operating system is best for college?
Windows 7, Windows 8 and the latest Apple OS are going to be the easiest operating systems to use in college.
Windows 7 is used by many library and administrative systems, so student portals like the widely-used Blackboard run very well with Windows 7. With the recent release of Windows 8, you can expect most administrative systems to upgrade. Even if they don’t, Windows 8 will have no problem negotiating its preceding model.
Mac's OS is incredibly popular among college students and most programs, student access portals and email systems run very well on MacBook Pro. However, many students even choose to run Windows on their MacBooks because of its compatibility around campus.
What are the best Lenovo laptops for a student on a budget?
Built around a core product line of mainstream systems that include essential functionalities for your home, office, and school, Lenovo's G Series laptops offer the usability, performance, and convenience that students are looking for in a portable device. Perhaps best of all, Lenovo G Series laptops are available at a number of different price points to meet students' needs – should you require a machine that will fulfill multiple tasks without breaking the bank, there is sure to be a laptop within the G Series range for you. Every G Series laptop comes available with 4th Generation Intel Core processors – and in some cases, 5th Generation processors – as well as high-performance Intel graphics cards and HD displays. For most students, Lenovo's G Series laptops are a great choice. Click through for details and pricing on the Lenovo's G Series.
While the G Series offers affordable and mainstream laptops, the Lenovo 11e Series laptops are designed specifically with students in mind. Dependable, rugged, lightweight, and extra portable, 11e laptops can take anything you put them through. Weighing in at just three pounds, you can carry one in your backpack, tote, or even a large purse without so much as a second thought. Students are constantly on the move, and a laptop that slows you down due to its weight or size does you no good – Lenovo recognizes this. With Intel Celeron processors, HD displays, and ample RAM, the 11e Series is well-equipped to handle most, if not all, of your computing needs. Click to learn more about prices and specs of the Lenovo 11e Series.
Which laptops have the longest battery life?
To truly take advantage of a laptop's portability, you need battery life. After all, if you're limited to using your laptop only in places where there's an outlet immediately nearby, the device isn't living up to its promise. Lenovo X Series laptops have plenty of battery life, allowing you to make it through a school day, long business trip, or extended study session without having to worry about that dreaded "Low Battery" warning. Offering between 10 and 20 hours of battery life on a single charge, the X Series truly has the ability to be used on the go – you will likely throw in the towel long before your laptop does. Click through for more information on the Lenovo X Series.
Combining long battery life and an ultra-thin profile, Lenovo's Yoga Laptop Series is the choice for individuals who want it all. With no compromises made and no corners cut, these portable devices are designed specifically for people on the move – they are lightweight, stylish, powerful, and incredibly useful. Weighing in at just 2 pounds, yet providing up to 9 hours of battery life, the Lenovo Yoga Series proves that you can have your cake and eat it too. You'll make it through the day without being slowed down by your laptop. Click here to learn more about the Yoga Laptop Series.
How much memory do I need for school?
A good bottom line to set is 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive. Students don’t just need to store Word documents and Excel spreadsheets; they sometimes need to store thousands of images and PDF files or run large, complex programs. Therefore, sufficient memory is vital when buying a laptop.
And that’s just for classes. Campuses are the place for cutting-edge technology, so laptops must be able to handle the programming software for programs like Skype and ooVoo, webcam software and Adobe Photoshop. Many students today use music programs like VirtualDJ and Mixxx. All of these require a strong, capable laptop.
For many students, it’s important that their laptop performs as a gaming console. Many laptops are made specifically for gaming, such as those in the ASUS G-Series and most Alienware laptops. Almost all gaming laptops come with increased RAM. It’s not uncommon to see up to 16GB of RAM come standard on high-end gaming laptops. Of course, most daily functions are completely possible on gaming laptops, so if you’re interested in laptop gaming, looking into these products is not a bad idea. Gaming laptops tend to sell at a much higher price, but the increased memory could be beneficial outside of the gaming world, especially if you’re interested in graphic design or architecture. With processing power, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Do I need a disc drive like a Blu-ray drive or DVD drive?
It is a good idea to have a laptop with a drive that can read CD-ROMs. DVDs and Blu-ray discs are hardly ever used for class, but they are often used for impromptu dormitory movie-watching parties.
Most of the time you won’t need to use a Blu-ray, DVD or CD-ROM drive. However, certain courses of study require it more frequently than others, and there are times in almost every student’s career when he or she is glad to have a disc drive available.
Many course textbooks-especially for language and math, engineering and computer science courses-come with a CD-ROM that has a specific program and serial number. In some cases, this serial number is actually necessary to log in with via an online account and use as an assignment portal. In others, it is merely a helpful resource.
What software do I need for school?
What software you need depends very much upon what you major in and which courses you study.
Though most laptops come equipped, it’s important to first mention that Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel and Word at the very least) are almost essential for every student. Though a small portion of students choose to use alternative word processors and spreadsheet creators, the vast majority of professors, administrators and other students use the standard Microsoft suite. Because many assignments are turned in via email attachments, having this basic software is very important for a college student.
Adobe Reader and Photoshop, though not used as often as Microsoft Office, are also useful and widely-used.
For engineers and computer science majors, MATLAB is one of the most popular software programs. Math and economics majors use this program heavily as well. In MATLAB, students can do anything from test the maximum stress of sample material to designing stunning mathematical works of art using fractal functions. They can use it to test economics hypotheses and decide how best to secure the arches on a virtual bridge.
CAD is an alternative to MATLAB that many students and professors choose to use. It comes in a few different packages, each tailored to the needs of its users. AutoCAD and WaterCAD are two examples.
Java is the most popular coding program for entry-level computer science majors. Students who learn to write code do so in Java most of the time. It’s an important, if rudimentary, program to be proficient in if you wish to enter the computer science field.
Aside from basic software necessities, professors will specify before the class which software is necessary to have on your computer. Often, this information is included in the course description. If it’s not, a simple email to the professor will suffice. Because the American academic environment is so large and diverse, you’ll have to be prepared for many different types of software if you’re in a field where computing is important. Often, the choice will be based on little other than the professor’s personal preference, as in so many other facets of student life. Your responsibility is to make sure that your laptop can handle whatever you throw at it. Check out our PC buying guide for further guidance on which PC is best for you.

NJ Federal Prison Guard Facing Jail Time in Bribery Case
A former corrections officer with the Federal Bureau of Prisons today admitted accepting $3,600 in bribes in exchange for smuggling contraband in and out of the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, N.J.
According to U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, Brown, a federal correctional officer at FCI-Fairton, was responsible for supervising inmates while enforcing the rules governing the operation of the facility. He accepted two separate cash payments – $1,100 and $2,500 – in exchange for using his position to smuggle tobacco and vitamin supplements to a prisoner inside the facility. Brown also smuggled approximately 900 U.S. postage stamps out of the facility for the same inmate’s benefit.
Tobacco is prohibited at FCI-Fairton, and inmates are also not allowed to possess more than 60 United States postage stamps, or vitamin supplements, which are not purchased through the prison commissary.
The bribery count is punishable by a maximum potential penalty of 15 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. Brown could also be permanently disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit in the United States. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 18, 2012.

The Moccasin construction is one of the oldest methods to make a shoe. It is historically the original footwear of the North American native population as well as hunters, traders and European settlers. The construction consists of upper, quarters and insole in one piece stitched together with a vamp apron on top. The moccasin was originally constructed without any hard sole to make the wearer feel the ground and make less noise. The moccasin construction is at it´s core a very soft and flexible construction but depending on the making can be more built up as well. Not all shoes featuring moccasin stitches are having a true moccasin construction with a separated vamp apron.
Generally moccasins are recognized by the vamp apron with defined stitching creating a soft and flexible construction. Moccasins can be made with or without hard outsole
The moccasin has a single layer section forming the insole and quarters. The last is put in the insole and a vamp “apron” stretched on top of the last. The stretched apron is stitched to the gathered edges of the quarters around the last creating the characteristic look. The outsole is then either attached by cement or by blake stitching.
Although sturdy yet flexible the construction with a single vamp is not very water proof since the seam line offers a path for water to get in. There are silicone coated thread and other treatments to improve water resistance but eventually this will wear off. To deal with this situation either a double vamp or a triple vamp construction can be used.
With the use of multiple vamp sections the stitchings are placed in different locations not to allow water seep through more than 1 layer.
The word Moccasin does not originate from one source but comes from a variation of north american phonem usually meaning shoe. In Powhatan, a native american tribe in Virginia, the word makasin meaning shoe. The word stuck from there most likely since they were the first tribe to have contact with white settlers. From southern New england Algonquian makkusin and the munsee delaware Mahkusin.1 Also the Proto-Algonquian word maxkeseni.2
As seen on the map each tribe has there are many different varieties of moccasins and some of the tribes could be directly identified by their moccasins. The Blackfoot and Chippewa nations got their names from the type of moccasins they were wearing.
As climate is different the moccasins was also different. Some needed a more hard sole, to protect against rocks, or cold. Moccasins from the Apache tribe was for instance featuring a turned up front to protect seams from getting worn out.
Other extremes, though not fully classifying as moccasin construction, is the Inuit Makluk. The cold climate needed a warming and insulating moccasin.
You start by the far left shoe to keep your foot warm. Then you put it into the middle boot and finish it of with the right boot to keep you covered against snow entering anywhere.
Today moccasin construction is seen in either classical moccasins but also in traditional loafers. More about loafers in a separate article.

I put Disqus on my site. This created discussions and URLs in Disqus admin automatically.
However, then I saw I have some mistakes in the URLs. There are many discussions and I don't want to edit the URLs manually.
Is it possible to remove all the discussions, so as to create new ones? And if yes, how?

From GQ Style Guy Glenn O'Brien, explaining his open letter to the PR trade for those who may have missed its meaning:
"My point is that one encounters delusional pecking orders that exist primarily in the imagination of public relations, and everyone invited to a fashion show or a party should be treated with equal respect. I find the single row shows like that of Marc Jacobs to be an enlightened idea. Having a screening? Then seat everyone you invite! (Sheesh, as you say.)."

“I have loved being in Depot Town for 45 years. Our district has gone through some major changes but the one constant has always been the merchants and customers. It is sweet to walk into a store and get that old town feeling, personal care, and pleasant conversation. Depot Town is a unique district that works together to make visiting an enjoyable experience and a place to share with friends“
–Sandee French, Aubree’s Pizzeria and Grill
The whistle of a train pierces the air, and the nearby Huron River sparkles in the sun. This is Depot Town, where trains still rumble through on regular intervals and Ypsilanti’s original train depot still stands today — along with rows of beautiful, original brick buildings from the turn of the century. Visitors are drawn to tasty local restaurants such as Maiz, Ollie Food and Spirits, Aubrees and Sidetrack as well as unique, Michigan-centric shops such as the Eyrie and Brick and Mortar. Visitors can walk along cobblestone sidewalks to the Depot Town farmers’ market, a festival in a nearby park, a multitude of antique stories, or the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum. The Depot Town TIF Plan can be found here
Fun Fact: The first City Hall, Jail and Clothing Store was located in Depot Town.

Last Thursday United Nations mediator Kofi Annan announced he was folding his peacemaker's tent, leaving Syria's obdurate government to meet its fate in a test of arms. And the flight to Jordan Monday of Syrian prime minister Riyad Farid Hijab demonstrates that growing numbers of longtime stalwarts of the Ba'ath party regime -- at least those from the country's Sunni majority -- now despair of a negotiated transition and want out.
Sauve qui peut -- save yourself if you can. Hijab's defection signals the broader rout that is underway. And Russia, the global defender of president Bashar al-Assad's perquisites of sovereignty, has little time left to negotiate its own soft landing, or else reconcile itself to decades of unyielding hostility from the new Syrian regime, as the Americans have faced in post-Shah Iran.
The United States and Europe have navigated the Syrian crisis with much more dexterity, but only after having fed Russian paranoia by botching the implementation of the U.N. Security Council's hard-won Libya resolution last year.
By demanding the overthrow of Libya's delusional dictator Muammar Gaddafi rather than the ceasefire and power-sharing transition with him that the council resolution had demanded, Western governments took on themselves the onus of fighting for "regime change" that led the Russians to dig in their heels on Syria. They didn't need to: Gaddafi would have been even more uncompromising and treacherous in rejecting the U.N. terms than Assad has been.
Assad now faces accelerating demoralization among his soldiers and desperation among those who have been his political backers in Damascus and abroad. The civil administration and the Ba'ath party apparatus that had been the sinews of the Syrian state he has led are fast hollowing out. It seems unlikely that the Ba'ath party could depose Assad as the Fascist Grand Council had deposed Mussolini in July 1943, and a coup d'état led by the security forces seems even more improbable.
So it seems only Russia can still avert the final immolation of Syria's five-decade-long regime. At this point Moscow will have to drop the pretense that Assad can still have a place at the table in a transitional government. In announcing his own resignation, Kofi Annan told Moscow publicly that he had concluded that "President Bashar al-Assad must leave office."
Russia still has a few levers to pull with the men in Assad's bunker. It can withhold the resupply of spent arms. If it wishes to "sauve qui peut," in the sense of salvaging what it can for its own ties to post-Assad Syria, it has a fast-closing window of opportunity in the next few weeks. Moscow will have to tell Assad that he must require his government to implement fully all the terms of the Annan ceasefire -- and that he must announce his resignation effective no later than the start of transition political talks.
With the dedicated peacemaker's dogged determination to see a ray of light even at the darkest hour, Annan insisted that "Syria can still be saved from the worst calamity. But this requires courage and leadership, most of all from the permanent members of the Security Council, including from Presidents Putin and Obama."
Yes, there is something that President Obama can do to provide cover for Russia to climb in off its limb and avert "the worst calamity." His administration can announce that the United States will no longer object to Iranian participation in the "action group" of relevant countries Annan had sought to marshal to put concerted pressure on the Syrian antagonists to end the fighting and commence the political transition. With Assad's own planned departure as part of the package, Obama would be trading a largely symbolic concession for a very dramatic change of direction by Putin.
As American leaders have learned to their sorrow, relying simply on force of arms -- the trajectory of Syria today -- builds in far more instability and risk than negotiating a managed political transition. The temptation to run the table, a temptation to which Bush administration policymakers fatefully succumbed in Afghanistan and Iraq, often runs strong in Washington, but in Syria the enigmatic character of many of the armed opposition factions should be a caution for compromise.
Syrians cannot be allowed to descend into two decades of civil war among armed sectarian militias, which looms as a very real scenario if armed opposition groups overwhelm the faltering government army. Lebanon's horrendous experience in the final quarter of the last century must not play out on Syria's larger stage.
It is surely clear even to Assad that his inner circle cannot govern Syria again. And it should be clear to the Russians that they have very little time left to save what they can.

I haven’t done a “Which Way” in a while. I live in a neighbourhood that has probably 20 streets. Here are a few of them. By the way, the streets are nearly this quiet most of the time. This is where Cindy and I start our walk from.
We can go to the beach this way.
Or this way.
We even have an off leash beach.
These stairs are pretty new.
Technically these old stairs are not a Which Way because they don’t go anywhere anymore having been abandoned.

Issue #130 - 17th December 2018 *|MERGE4|* The BMCC Executive Office will be closed on the Eves of Christmas and New Year's Day (24, 25 Dec & 31 Dec, 1 Jan)
2018: A Year In Review
To our cherished members
What a year 2018 has been for both our Chamber and nation! The monumental ramifications surrounding the 14th Malaysian General Elections on the now historic May 9th has set countless gears turning towards a new national order. In ushering in this new Government, numerous policies, legislations and administrations were revisited and overhauled for the betterment of our economic standing. In the process, businesses across all sectors were impacted, and with it the livelihoods of the rakyat. As the membership-based bilateral-trade organisation we are, the BMCC needed to adapt quickly and play an active role in facilitating this change for our member companies.
By means of talk & networking events, the BMCC created a variety of public spheres for our members to access and engage with Ministers and key players in the new Malaysian government. These avenues were not just important for our members to seek answers, voice concerns and learn of the Ministry's heading, but also vital for the Ministers to get up close and personal with the decision makers in our business community, gathering for themselves the sentiments that shape both private and public economic landscapes. Through the BMCC's Advocacy Working Group, the Chamber was able to forward feedback from our members on focused matters directly to the Minister of Finance and the Minister of International Trade and Industry through closed-door 1-2-1 meetings.
Over the course of the year, the BMCC has organised more than 40 events, both social and professional in nature. Rightfully so, the highlight of the year for us was the launch of our inaugural Business Excellence Awards in July, held in conjunction with the BMCC's 55th Anniversary. The scale and prestige of the gala event, attracting more than 450 attendees from all walks of industries and senior government officials was exactly the result we had envisioned, namely to establish a new annual flagship initiative to give the recognition companies and individuals deserve and elevating our member companies to an international level. The BMCC Business Excellence Awards will return in June 2019.
The BMCC is proud to see it's Energy Committee grow from strength to strength, having organised several successful events these year with key players such as PETRONAS, MOGSC, EIC and the Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change. Through the BMCC Trade Team, the Chamber continues to be an instrumental facilitator in helping British companies establish a presence here in Malaysia, such as Naylor Farms, Nimble Babies and The Rose Tree to name a few success stories.
All that we have accomplished would not have been possible without the resilience of our Board of Directors, the tireless support of our Sponsors and Patrons, the British High Commission and the Department for International Trade, our 43 Sterling members, and of course, our most treasured members. All that the Chamber aims to do is with the best intentions of our members at heart and none of what we have done would have been possible without you. Thank you all for a fantastic 2018, and may we continue to build upon the ties we have built.
Kicking off 2019, we look forward to seeing you all at our customary BMCC New Year's Drink on the 22nd January, welcoming our members back from the holidays and toasting to the new year. We also have lined up a number of exciting events, one of which will be the Digital Innovation Conference in March 2019, so stay tuned for our announcements!
From all of us at the BMCC Executive Office, we wish everyone Happy Holidays, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Last week, the BMCC represented by Executive Director, Jennifer Lopez paid a couple of courtesy visits to our member companies. She met with Puan S. Fauziah Jamaluddin, Executive VP of Group Marketing & Communication at KPJ Heathcare Berhad, and a visit to the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus at Semenyih where she was given a tour by Provost & CEO and BMCC Board Director, Professor Graham Kendall. Rounding up the week, the BMCC bade bon voyage to Mr. Stephen Hill, Deputy Director of Trade & Investment who retires after an illustrious career at the Department for International Trade. From our hearts at the BMCC, thank you Stephen and we wish you a happy retirement! We warmly welcome Mr. Clifford Bebb, the new Deputy of Trade & Investment, who replaces Stephen.

How to Turn Election Year Into Election Life
Their Bread, Our Circus
By Tom Engelhardt
Sometimes words outlive their usefulness. Sometimes the gap between changing reality and the names we’ve given it grows so wide that they empty of all meaning or retain older meanings that only confuse us. “Election,” “presidential election campaign,” and “democracy” all seem like obvious candidates for name-change.
I thought about this recently as President Obama hustled around my hometown, snarling New York traffic in the name of Campaign 2012. He was, it turned out, “hosting” three back-to-back fundraising events: one at the tony Gotham Bar and Grill for 45 supporters at $35,800 a head (the menu: roasted beet salad, steak and onion rings, with apple strudel, chocolate pecan pie, and cinnamon ice cream — a meal meant to “shine a little light” on American farms); one for 30 Jewish supporters at the home of Jack Rosen, chairman of the American Jewish Congress, for at least $10,000 a pop; and one at the Sheraton Hotel, evidently for the plebes of the contribution world, that cost a mere $1,000 a head. (Maybe the menu there was rubber chicken.)
In the course of his several meals, the president pledged his support for Israel (in the face of Republican charges that he is eternally soft on the subject), talked about “taxes and the economy” to his undoubtedly under-taxed listeners, and made this stirringly meaningless but rousing comment: “No matter who we are, no matter where we come from, we’re one nation. We’re one people. And that’s what’s at stake in this election.”
Outside his final event, Occupy Wall Street protesters saw something else at stake, dubbing him the “1% president.” The end result from a night’s heavy lifting: $2.4 million for his election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, nowhere close to 1% of what they will need for the next year.
These were the 67th, 68th, and 69th fundraisers attended by Obama so far in 2011, or the 71st, 72nd, and 73rd. (It depended on who was counting.) In either case, we’re talking about approximately one fundraiser every five days, a total of 6% of the events in which Obama took part in this non-election year.
Think about that. You vote for the president to spend some part of 20% of his days raising money for his own future from the incredibly wealthy. Or put another way, the Washington Post now estimates that if you add in the non-fundraising, election-oriented events that involve him — 63 so far in 2011 — perhaps 12% of his time is taken up with campaign efforts of one sort or another; and this is what he’s been doing 12 to 24 months before the election is scheduled to happen.
New York being the home of… gulp… Wall Street (1%! 1%!), Obama doesn’t exactly have it to himself. Mitt Romney was heading into town on December 14th for his own rousing round of four fundraisers. One at the Waldorf Astoria will be hosted by — you can’t be balder than this — four JPMorgan Chase executives, including James B. “Jimmy” Lee, Jr., the vice chairman of the company and the “banker who battled the Obama administration over the restructuring of Chrysler LLC.” And oh yes, Romney leads Obama in funding support from billionaires, 42 to 30 (with Rick Perry taking third place at 20).
In the 2008 election, JPMorgan employees gave $4.6 million to the candidates of their choice, coming in behind only Goldman Sachs and Citigroup on The Street. Now that, I would say, is actual electoral power. Perhaps it wouldn’t be too much of an exaggeration to say that the voting that matters most takes place at those fundraisers, not in the booths where, billions of dollars in attack ads later, the usual hoi polloi pull the handles on electoral slot machines.
Their Bread, Our Circus
In ancient Rome, the emperors provided the capital’s inhabitants with “bread and circuses.” Ever since, that combination has been shorthand for rulers buying off the ruled with the necessities of life and spectacle.
In Rome, that spectacle involved gladiatorial and other elaborate games of death that took place in the Colosseum. In this age, our rulers, the 1% whose money has flooded the electoral cycle, are turning the election itself into our extended circus. This year, a series of Republican televised “debates” have glued increasing numbers of eyeballs to screens — and not just Republican eyeballs, either. Everyone waits for the latest version of a reality show to produce the next cat fight, fabulous gaffe, late-night laugh line, confession, denial, scandal, or plot twist, the next thumbs up or, far better, thumbs down on some candidate’s increasingly brief political life in the arena.
Think of it as their bread and our circus. Who can doubt that, like the crowds of Rome once upon a time, we await the inevitable thumbs-down vote and the YouTube videos that precede and follow it with a kind of continuing bloodlust? The only problem: however strange all this may be, it’s not, at least in the old-fashioned sense, an election nor does it seem to have much to do with democracy. The fact is that we have no word for what’s going on. Semi-democracy? Unrepresentative democracy? 1% democracy? Demospectacracy?
Of course, we still speak of this as a presidential election campaign, and it’s true that 11 months from now more than 60% of the voting age population will step into polling booths across the country and cast ballots. But let’s face it, if this is an election at all, it’s certainly one stricken with elephantiasis. Once, as now, a presidential race had primaries, conventions, campaigning, mudslinging, and sometimes even a few debates, but all of this had limits. In recent years, the limits — almost any limits — have been disappearing. Along the way, the process has expanded from an eight-month-long affair that most voters only began to attend to sometime in the fall of election year to a perpetual campaign, perpetually discussed, reported on, and displayed.
The primaries, for instance, have been on a forced march toward ever-earlier dates. Iowa’s — actually a “caucus” — is now on January 3rd of election year and the first official primary, New Hampshire’s is on January 10th. (Over the years, it’s repeatedly had to move its date forward from March to hold onto that status.) This time around, the “debates” leading up to the primaries began last May; previously meaningless party “straw polls,” covered as monumental events by hundreds of reporters, accompanied them; the first of a World War I-style barrage of attack ads was launched in the same period, and the opinion polls on various constellations of likely (or unlikely) candidates — what Jonathan Schell once called our “serial elections” — preceded everything, accompanied by endless media speculation about them.
It’s an ever-expanding system, engorging itself on money and sucking in ever larger audiences. It’s the Blob of this era. In fact, the next campaign now kicks off in the media the day after (if not the day before) the previous election ends with speculation (polls soon to follow) handicapping the odds of future candidates, none yet announced.
The Perpetual Campaign
Once upon a time, the perpetual candidate — former Minnesota governor Harold Stassen was the classic example — proved a kind of running joke. No longer. Now, the president himself essentially begins his campaign for a second term almost as soon as he enters the Oval Office.
Similarly, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the media-anointed Republican nominee of this electoral cycle, has in fact been running for president since at least 2006. It’s been his only real “job” since leaving the governorship in 2008. In his life, he is now the embodiment of the perpetual candidate, and yet even those who make him the butt of endless TV jokes don’t find that fact strange or particularly worthy of comment.
Everywhere you care to look, the expansion of the presidential race is evident. In the fall of 1948, in an election he was supposed to lose, Democratic President Harry (“give ‘em hell”) Truman barnstormed the nation by train, decrying a “do-nothing Congress.” By comparison, President Obama has been out this fall — the equivalent of 1947 — on what is clearly the campaign trail denouncing his own version of a do-nothing Congress. And that’s only a start when it comes to turning election “year” into Election Life.
On money, the sky’s the limit. In 2000, the total federal election season cost $3 billion; in 2008, more than $5 billion, of which an estimated $2.4 billion went into the presidential campaign. With the Supreme Court having made it easier for outside money to pour in, thanks to its Citizens United decision, funding for campaign 2012 is expected to pass $6 billion and could even top $7 billion. The Obama campaign, which raised $760 million in 2008, is expected to pass the billion-dollar mark this time around (with money already pouring in from the financial and banking sector on which candidate Mitt Romney is also heavily reliant).
TV advertising alone, which topped $2.1 billion in 2008, is expected to reach or exceed $3 billion this time around. These are, of course, staggering sums. Already the attack ads, mostly on the president, mostly from the sort of Super PACs that Citizens United let loose in the land, are zinging away far in advance of any previous presidential campaign season. According to the Washington Post, $23 million worth of attack ads have come and gone, half of that from Karl Rove’s American Crossroads. And as one analyst quoted by the New York Times put it, “These dollar figures we’re talking about now are going to seem quaint in a few months. And they’ll seem really quaint in eight or nine months.”
For comparison’s sake, back in 1976, in the era when pundits were first beginning to write about presidential elections as perpetual campaigns, the total spending of presidential candidates Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter was $66.9 million.
This inundation of money has also meant an inundation of lobbyists. President Obama officially refuses to take campaign contributions from lobbyists. The New York Times recently reported, however, that 15 of his top “bundlers,” who give their own money and solicit that of others for the campaign — none registered as federal lobbyists — are “involved in lobbying for Washington consulting shops or private companies,” and they are raising millions for him. A June report from the Center for Public Integrity concluded: “President Obama granted plum jobs and appointments to almost 200 people who raised large sums for his presidential campaign, and his top fundraisers have won millions of dollars in federal contracts.”
And the 2012 Republican field of presidential contestants puts Obama in the shade. They seem determined to campaign cheek to jowl with as many lobbyists as they can corral. More than 100 federal lobbyists have already contributed to Mitt Romney’s campaign, while Rick Perry has evidently risen to candidate status on the shoulders of Mike Toomey, a former gubernatorial chief of staff, friend, and money-raising lobbyist whose clients “have won $2 billion in [Texas] state government contracts since 2008.” And that’s only scratching the surface.
In the meantime, a national machinery has been set up to staff that perpetual campaign. By early October (again 2011, not 2012), according to the New York Times, the Obama campaign had opened offices in 15 states, had paid employees in 38 states, and had a Chicago headquarters with a paid staff of 200. Thirteen months before the actual election, the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee had already shelled out “close to $87 million in operating costs.” At this point, there is no Republican equivalent, as the many Republican candidates are still involved in the struggle for the nomination, while Obama, as vulnerable a president as we’ve seen in our time, miraculously lacks even a symbolic primary challenger.
At the heart of the ever-expanding presidential campaign sit the media, especially television — especially those ads. In 1996, when Republican Robert Dole ran against President Bill Clinton, the two camps spent an estimated $113 million for ads, almost all for television. In the 2008 election for all federal offices, $2.7 billion went into television advertising.
This year, when the media is feeling the pinch of hard times, $3 billion dollars in prospective TV ads must look like manna from heaven. In fact — though no one in the media ever writes about it — this has to represent one of the great conflict of interest stories of our time, maybe of all time. The pundits, commentators, reporters, and news announcers who once again seem so intent on convincing us that this will be the election of the century are essentially drumming up business for the owners of their networks or cable stations who will profit handsomely, even staggeringly, from the dollars that those glued eyeballs bring in.
So Fox, for instance, is now a constant debate central for Republican candidates and is, in turn, pulling in advertising at a rate ahead of the 2008 campaign cycle. “Like CNN, MSNBC and others,” writes Dan Hirschhorn of Ad Age, “Fox News is set to benefit from the proliferation of third-party political and issue advocacy groups including Super PACs and 527s, which can afford national airtime and are gearing up to be major players in 2012 politics.”
And like any reality show, for this one to succeed so far ahead of its appointed season, you need the constant drama of contestants being ushered on and off stage, of spectacular rises and no less spectacular collapses. Hence, the stories of Michele Bachman, Rick Perry, and Herman Cain, which (if you were of a conspiratorial mind) might almost seem too good (or bad) to be true.
So far, the media’s election blitz has proven remarkably successful. The audience for the very first Republican debate of 2011 almost doubled the audience for the first Republican debate of the 2008 campaign. And as this round of debates has gained steam, it has nearly doubled its own initial numbers. Meanwhile, the media version of the election campaign is visibly becoming a too-big-to-fail juggernaut. In the process, it seems that we, the citizens, the viewers, have been given an election life sentence. Our job is to sit and watch while the action happens elsewhere.
It’s true that, on November 6, 2012, Americans will enter voting booths and choose a candidate for president, and that makes this an “election.” But thinking of it that way won’t get you far. It’s also true, that, on January 20, 2013, a newly elected president will step into the Oval Office. What any of this has to do with democracy, as opposed to spectacle, influence, corruption, the power of the incredibly wealthy to pay for and craft messages, and the power of media owners to enhance their profits is certainly an open question. Think, at least, how literally the old phrase “money talks” is being updated every time you hear the candidates, or see their ads, or get a robocall from one of them, or receive a geo-targeted mobile ad of theirs on your iPhone or Android.
It’s clear enough — or should be by now — that the electoral process has been occupied by the 1%; which means that what you hear in this “campaign” is largely refracted versions of their praise, their condemnation, their slurs, their views, their needs, their fears, and their wishes. They are making money off, and electing a president via, you. Which means that you — that all of us — are occupied, too.

USA, 2012: Dear Pen Friend,
Today's letter is from me. Just me. Not me "and" anyone; only little old me.
I've received an airletter (the kind that's written in pen and gets delivered to a metal box outside the house) urging me to take good care of myself. Because, said the writer, "I could not bear to be without my penfriend!"
I immediately thought back through years of correspondence. Paul was only the beginning. After him, there was a string of pen-pals. One of these sent me copies (several years ago) of ALL of the letters I'd sent her over these many years. I read them with laughter and more than a touch of nostalgia; also with the sure knowledge that only God could have turned such a scatter-penned youngster as I was into a writer. "I have heard about the British 'Beatles,'" I once told her... "I hope someday I can hear their music." "President Kennedy was shot, tell me if you've heard about it over there." "I went swimming today and the dog died" (no connection between these last two events).
I went on to write letters to friends and boyfriends. To people met through writing and travels. And now, as I thank God to have such a privilege, here I am clicking away on a keyboard to you.
I suppose you can consider this a thank you note. Thanks for making a few mouse-clicks and opening this letter.
I pray (I genuinely do) that the Lord will take good care of you.
Because "I could not bear to be without my penfriend....."

Each year, as clients and I craft their financial plans, one of the biggest concerns expressed by those in the 45+ age group is long term care costs. Clients who are between 45-54 have some initial concerns, primarily because they are generally starting to see aging family members (grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, etc.) and the issues that surface. However the 55-65+ age group often see the even greater challenge, since their parents are now well into retirement age, and these adult “kids” often start to become caregivers to at least one elder family member. They may also see friends and family around their own age who now have begun needing some type of care due to diseases like early onset Alzheimer’s and other debilitating conditions.
So, one of the discussions that I have with clients, especially those who are 55+ is whether or not long term care insurance makes sense for their situation. For some, it simply doesn’t. While for others, it is very important to protecting their spouse, protecting the way they are cared for (and who cares for them), and sometimes even to protect their legacy.
Anyone who has spoken with me about long term care insurance also knows that although I think it has its place in several situations, I also strongly feel that it is fraught with pitfalls.
For example, you may be talked into a policy without understanding exactly what your policy covers… and if you’re buying something that you may not need for 5, 10 or 20+ years, that could be a monumental mistake. LTC insurance is often sold through insurance sales agents, some of whom may not always put your best interests ahead of their own. Employer group policies often have limited coverage and end when your employment ends… which may result in you having to buy a personal policy when you leave your employer, at a later point in life when it will cost you more (or worse yet, not even qualify for LTC insurance due to a deteriorated health status at that point). And, some insurance companies that offer these policies make it difficult to collect on the befits. while others have astronomically increased the yearly premium cost to policyholders… to the point where some elderly clients can no longer afford to keep the policy at a time when statistically it’s most likely they will need it!
Below is an article that I came across called, “10 Secrets Your Long Term Salesman Won’t Tell You.” Although I didn’t write the article, I thought that much of it resonates with issues that I think consumers need to be aware of when evaluating LTC insurance.
As always, and whether or not you are a current client, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 856-777-8997 or email@example.com

What the TTIP Leaks Means for the On-going Negotiations and Future Agreement? Time to Overcome TTIP's Many Informational Asymmetries
One of the major merits of the TTIP leaks has been to highlight the underlying information asymmetry characterising the on-going TTIP negotiations. By systematically releasing its position papers before each negotiation, the EU actual disclosure policy contributes to a permanent yet overlooked information imbalance between the EU and its trading partner(s). The ensuing asymmetry does not only alter the overall negotiating environment, but also how the media, academics, and, in turn, the public actually perceive it. As a result, only the EU positions have been studied, criticized and closely debated, with the US negotiating positions remaining largely a mystery. After briefly presenting the how’s of the TTIP leaks, this piece examines the what’s and why’s behind this unprecedented revelation of negotiating texts.
Keywords: TTIP, US, EU, Leaks, Information asymmetry

I am a beginner at wind surfing. Good for you men! You got a progress. How I wish to be that talented. I am a starter. Soon enough I'll be good as the other here. Thanks for the information that both of you have discuss.
|16th June 2010 11:43 PM|
|eric b 125||roger, thanks for the input. since my last post ive been out a few times. getting into the harness definately helps get the pressure onto the mastfoot and off of the tail of the board. i was planning steadily during my last session. i have to leave a few buckles undone on my vest to get hooked-in but it still keeps me afloat properly. i'm going to try and make it out oa few times this week with my 6.5 to hopefully work on my sail / foot work|
|4th June 2010 09:30 AM|
First, sounds like you are making some good progress transitioning from the UltraCat (UC)to the Futura 144 (F144).
First, to enable you to tack more easily on the F144, let me remind you that short board tacks must be made more quickly than on the UC.
The Futura has most of it's volume between the mast foot and the front footstraps.
The UC has lots of volume forward to the mast track.
So, you cannot "walk forward" around the mast like you can on the UC as there is smply not much "float" (volume) forward of the mast slot on the F144.
I would suggest a little "modification" of your technique in the near term, and you may want to keep it in your repertoire for future use.
Instead of stepping forward of the mast foot, simply "step over' the mast (with the sail raked all the way back until the foot rests on the deck of your board.
It's easy...... simply step over and turn around as you bring your new front over the mast.
This will keep you in the center of the board (side to side or athwartships) and keep you in the highest volume are fore and aft.
A waist harness and PFD can indeed be a problem. I had to shop around quite a bit to find a kayaking vest (Perception Kayaks makes the one I use) that did not interfere with my seat harness (a waist harness simply rides too high to use with almost any sort of PFD).
The kayak vests are short so they can be worn over the spray skirt on a kayak, and this makes them ideal for use with a seat harness and a low harness hook position.
Jibing the F144 is going to be alot different than the UC.
First, you cannot walk way back on the F144 like you could on the UC. There's not much volume behind the front footstraps, so you will need to tip/bank the F144 so it turns downwind and back up to a beam reach (or lower) on the new tack, and flip your sail when you are heading very nearly straight downwind.
So, if you were jibing you UC with the centerboard down, and had to tip the board to the outside of the jibe to get the board to come around, you will have to tip it the opposite way (bank the board into the jibe with the inside rail down).
8.5 m2 is a little big learning things on a smaller board in 15 mph (13 knots) but it sounds
like you were not having any issues with the sail size, so go ahead with that 8.5.
You might find that learning "sail handling in the transitions (tacks and jibe) is a bit easier with a smaller rig.
You won't be able to get into the footstraps on the F144 until you are fully planing, so it's best not to try until you find yourself back far enough on the board to get your front foot into the footstrap.
You also cannot really get the F144 to plane if you continue to stand up forward by the mast foot. The rockerline in the board is designed so that you almost have to get your weight back with your rear foot about midway between the front and rear footstraps before the nose of the board (and the rockerline) come up so the board wants to "slide" up onto a plane.
If you stay forward (ahead of the front footstraps with your weight, th eplaning surfaces on the bottom of the F144 will remain "negative" (ie lower in the front of the surface than at the back of the surface).
So, with negative planing surfaces, the board will pretty much refuse to jump onto a plane.
This was not the case with the UC with it's huge long waterline and nearly flat rockerline.
Going from a longboard to a shortboard is not too difficult, but you need to make some major technique changes.
Hope this helps,

long to short board- steep learning curve
yesterday i took my new board out for the second time. the first time i went out with it was much too windy (may God one day strike me down for saying that). its my second year sailing. last year i sailed a fanatic ultra cat and upgraded to a futura 144. yesterday the winds were around 15 mph and i figured it would be a good day to learn the new board. i rigged an 8.5 gaastra matrix and used the stock fin since its the only fin i have. i wasnt able to beach start and i cant waterstart yet, but i uphauled the 8.5 with little difficulty. i learned that the futura, compared to the ultra cat, requires me to steer a lot more with my legs and less with the sail. i was able to get up onto a plane, but not into the straps or harness. i have a lot of trouble getting hooked into a waist harness while wearing a PFD (the lake i went to requires them). the real problem i was having was turning around without getting so squirrelly i fell down. i could tack the ultra cat, and 'pseudo jibe' but not on the futura. what do you guys think i ought to work on first? is it usually difficult for people when going from a long to short board?

The Lee’s Summit City Council this week will look at raises for firefighters and public works employees under their union agreements.
The council also is scheduled to vote Aug. 21 on an agreement with RED Development for implementing a community improvement district.
The improvement district is another step in building the Summit Place shopping center, which is included in the amended Summit Fair Tax-Increment Financing District. The council is to vote on the agreement providing for use of a sales tax to reimburse the developer for some costs under incentives previously granted by the council.
Another council vote would update labor agreements and set the minimum wage for meter readers at about $13.67. It also would raise the differential for equipment operators working second shift during snow removal from 66 cents to 75 cents — added to the hourly rate of about $18.50.
In the fire department, fire specialists and communications specialists (depending on time of service and current pay) would get one-time pay adjustments of 1 percent and fire captains (grade I and II) would get a one-time pay adjustment of 2 percent.
The council also is to vote on renewing its procedure for disclosing potential conflicts of interest.

What if the most innovative solutions to the challenges of environment, poverty and exclusion came from overseas? In September, Convergences will showcase high-impact projects and inspiring individuals who have left their mark on the forums that Convergences held abroad over the past year.
Colombia, Greece, Philippines, Tunisia… All over the world, committed and inspiring changemakers are inventing new ways to protect the environment, create social cohesion and fight inequalities. On September 5 and 6, they will be attending the Forum to talk about their commitment, share their experiences and show that good ideas are flourishing everywhere.
Only together can we best respond to the challenges of climate change, wealth sharing and development. Join more than 4000 changemakers from all sectors. Together, let us take up the challenge of a fair transition for a more inclusive and sustainable world!
Location: Paris, France
Dates: September 5, 2019 - September 6, 2019
