Last night in Canton, Ohio, the Miami Dolphins got their first taste of preseason action, as they were narrowly defeated by the Dallas Cowboys in the Hall of Fame Game 24-20. Quarterback Matt Moore threw for 238 yards and one touchdown, and Pat Devlin contributed with 86 yards passing and a TD as well.
Despite the loss, there were several things that the Dolphins can build on from this game, and teachable moments that coaches can use in the future.
Here are some of my takeaways from last night’s game:
1) Reserve Runners Show Promise – It wasn’t a long night for players like quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Lamar Miller, so the Dolphins looked for their rising stars to carry the workload. Running backs Jonas Gray and Mike Gillislee showed that they could not only run the football with quickness and elusiveness, but also catch the football equally as well coming out of the backfield. Gray had 41 yards on the ground on seven carries, and showed that he could run behind his pads. Gillislee displayed great vision, and the ability to elude incoming tackles in the open field. It’s clear that these two young running backs will definitely push Daniel Thomas for playing time as the preseason progresses.
2) Pressure From The Edge – With Cameron Wake only playing a handful of plays, and Olivier Vernon not participating, it gave a huge opportunity to players like Derrick Shelby and rookie first round draft choice Dion Jordan to showcase their abilities rushing the passer. Shelby ended the evening with 2 sacks, while Jordan flashed speed and quickness, adding a couple of pressures on the evening. The worked in tandem to provide a consistent pass rush on the collection of Dallas quarterbacks. Jordan also displayed his flexibility by lining up on the line of scrimmage, and dropping back into coverage from a linebacker position. This is something we may see when players like Wake and Vernon are in their normal positions. This may add to the flexibility of the defense, and the variety of schemes we see during the regular season.
3) Making Their Mark – With wideouts Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline given the night off, players like Chad Bumphis and Keenan Davis may have separated from the rest of the wide receiver pack. Bumphis led all Dolphin receivers with five receptions for 85 yards, including a long of 45. Despite the mistake that led to a Dallas interception return touchdown, Bumphis was able to bounce back, and give the Dolphin quarterbacks an open target in the Cowboys secondary.
Davis made several key receptions using his strength and size on the inside, including the 5 yard slant route for the first Dolphins score. A newcomer to the roster, Davis was able to build off of a stellar Friday practice, and carry it over to live game action.
Some Quick Hits:
– Head Coach Joe Philbin will have teaching points from the Hall of Fame game to work on before Friday’s exhibition contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I’m quite sure that turnovers and red zone efficiency will be two of the areas that the Dolphins will continue to focus on.
– Dan Carpenter handled the kicking duties, and had a clean performance, making both of his field goal attempts. He hit from 27 yards out, and another from 45 yards out. Rookie kicker Caleb Sturgis did not kick in the contest, but look for Sturgis to possibly handle the kicking duties against the Jaguars.
– Another position battle to watch throughout the preseason is the tight end position. Starter Dustin Keller had limited playing time, and that allowed reserves like Kyle Miller and Michael Egnew to get plenty of chances to make an impact. Miller caught 3 balls for 35 yards with a long of 24, including a touchdown late in the game. Egnew came back after an early drop to finish with 4 receptions for 52 yards, and a long of 25. He’ll need to back that up with another good performance on Friday.
– If there’s one area that needs to improve, it’s the second and third string units on the offensive line. It will be crucial to identify who are the six and seventh best players in that unit, so the Dolphins can build some type of the depth at that position.

Former UVA Dean Pleads Guilty To Child Pornography Charges
Michael G. Morris Admits To Three Child Pornography Charges
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA – A Crozet, Va., man who was previously indicted on child pornography charges, pled guilty today in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Harrisonburg to three charges related to the trafficking of images depicting the sexual exploitation of minors.
Michael G. Morris, 50, of Crozet, Va., who used the screen name “Funshooter2006,” on a file-sharing program, was indicted in 2013, and pled guilty today, to two counts of distributing or receiving child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography. During the offenses charged, Morris was employed as an associate dean at the University of Virginia’s McIntyre School of Commerce.
“Mr. Morris traded explicit images of children engaged in sexual conduct in the dark corners of the internet,” United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said today. “We must continue to fight child exploitation through a comprehensive approach of vigorous enforcement, community education and parent involvement. In a time of ever-expanding technological advances, we must all be vigilant in keep children safe online.”
“Morris’ plea today is a small consolation for what these children endure while being victimized. I am proud of the work that our agents along with the task force officer from the Charlottesville Police Department did in this case. The Richmond-based Child Exploitation Task Force will continue to marshal their resources and bring to justice those that would harm our children,” said Adam Lee, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Division.
According to evidence presented during the plea hearing, a law enforcement officer, acting in an undercover capacity, successfully downloaded videos depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct that Morris had made available to him on a publicly available file-sharing site on January 6, 2012, and March 19, 2013. Investigators recovered computers and other items that contained child pornography during a search of his home on November 6, 2013. While Morris’ preference was apparently adolescent females and older minors, his collection included pornographic images of prepubescent minors and images depicting bondage.
At sentencing, Morris faces a sentence of between five and twenty years in prison on the distribution and receipt charges and a sentence of up to 10 years in prison on count three.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Charlottesville Police Department, and the Department of Justice’s High Technology Investigative Unit. Assistant United States Attorney Nancy Healey and Herbrina Sanders, a Trial Attorney with the Department of Justice’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, are prosecuting the case for the United States.

I have discovered something when recapping this drama…… I just don’t want to recap a 50 episode drama.It isn’t that Monster is a bad show. If anything I am really enjoying the slow revenge buildup. But with 50 episodes that means that the pacing is very different from a 16 episode drama. There is a lot of side story arcs, filler moments, and often nothing can happen for an episode or two. This makes it hard to find unique things to talks about and it just isn’t for me.
The fact that I still have 4 months before the drama ends and I can choose a new project also has a factor. There are just so many amazing dramas I did not have time to recap and it made me a little sad. So I am throwing in the towel. Of course will be continuing to watch and chat in my FB discussion group so if you are interested in continuing to get my thoughts and feelings about the drama, come join us there. The more the merrier.
So til my next recapping project I bid you farewell.

Steel Pipe (steel pipe production technology development began on a bicycle manufacturing industry rise, the 19th century early oil development, during the two world wars ships, boilers, aircraft manufacturing, after the Second World War thermal power boiler manufacturing, chemical industry and petroleum natural gas drilling and transportation, effectively promote the development of steel pipe industry in variety, yield and quality.
Advantages of Carbon Steel Pipe
Each piping material has its advantages, advantages that make it particularly useful in certain types of projects. The key to picking the right material is knowing what your project requires, then choosing the material that can live up to those requirements.
In that vein, here are five advantages that carbon steel pipe suppliers often cite about carbon steel pipe, as well as applications when those advantages come in handy.
1. Safe to work with
Many building materials need to be treated with glues, pesticides or preservatives, but carbon steel pipe does not. Carbon steel is also inflammable and invulnerable to pests and rotting.
Application: Homes. No one wants to live in a house with pipes that have been treated with chemicals or that can be eaten by critters. Nor do you want pipes that make your house more susceptible to fire.
2. Resistance to corrosion
Carbon steel has been shown to be resistant to corrosion and other chemical deterioration.
Application: Highly corrosive, often acidic environments. Carbon steel pipe, with its superior anti-corrosive properties, can be a good choice in industrial environments that experience high temperatures or very low pH.
3. Resistance To Shock
Carbon steel performs better than most other materials in environments that experience a lot of shock and vibration.
Application: Roadways and other transportation environments. Heavy traffic can put a lot of stress on roadway foundations, and while other materials may succumb to the pressure, carbon steel pipe can withstand it. Its resistance to shock and vibration makes it a great choice for water mains under roadways and other transportation applications that face a lot of rolling and bouncing tires.
4. Good for the environment
70 percent of all steel in North America is recycled each year, and approximately 50% of steel is produced in facilities that use recycled materials or don`t emit CO2.
Application: Any project, but especially green projects. These factors make pipes that are part steel, like carbon steel pipe, a great choice for projects when it`s a priority to minimize environmental impacts. This environmental consciousness is becoming a greater and greater concern across all industries.
Carbon steel pipes have high tensile strength, meaning they can withstand the same amount of pressure as other pipes while being thinner in construction. This gives carbon steel a greater carrying capacity and makes it more cost-effective.
Application: Low budget projects, any project. Carbon steel`s cost-effectiveness makes it a material of choice when budgets are tight, or for any cost-conscious builder or contractor.

(Aetherical.BlogSpot.com) What is legal is of “form”, what is lawful is of “substance” (Blacks Law 1st Edition). That which is legal has been formed by man. A legal entity has been formed by man. That which is lawful is of substance/essence and is a creation of God. A lawful man is of substance/essence.

One important thing you need to know about the United States is the fact that it is operating under a less severe form of martial law. Because of this, The Constitution is suspended. This is why you see the gold fringe U.S. flag in nearly every U.S. courtroom. Another important thing you need to know about the United States is that it is a CORPORATION.
(SupremeCourtCase.WordPress.com) Breakthrough Memorandum of Law obliterates in 20 pages the fraud that has made the 3,837-page Internal Revenue Code a monolith of impenetrability. General knowledge of the contents of the Memorandum ultimately will result in withdrawal of cooperation on the part of a sufficient number of former victims of the fraud so as to lead to its elimination.
The word convict is often used in the legal system to identify people who have been found “guilty” of a crime and is serving a sentence in prison. What most people do not know about the word convict is that there is a deeper meaning to this word. Its deeper meaning is used by the Dark Forces and their minions to mock people who were in prison or are serving a sentence in prison. After reading this article, you will know the occult definition of convict and why the legal system likes to use this word to mock convicts.
Governments are corporations; Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of the mind only [an idea], a government can only interface with other artificial persons. The imaginary – having neither actuality or Substance – is foreclosed from creating and attaining parity with the tangible. The legal manifestation of that is that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than corporate artificial persons and the contracts between them.
The word legal can mean a few different things, but at its core it is a word created for the purpose of trampling your natural rights and enslaving you. Before I explain why the word “legal” means “the undoing of God’s law”, let us explore the difference between the words legal and lawful.
If you have been reading my articles about the legal system, you should know that this system is a big fat FRAUD and is run by a bunch of TRAITORS to humanity! The content below will show you more evidence of this fraud against humanity. For some reason, I could not find the court case No. 4:14-CV-0027 on txcourts.gov. As always, use your intuition to help you discern the information and do your own research to verify the information below. Thanks to Steve for sending me the link to this article.
Natural Law; or the Science of Justice: A Treatise on Natural Law, Natural Justice, Natural Rights, Natural Liberty, and Natural Society
Although I do not agree with all the information in the PDF in this article, much of the information is empowering and important for freedom and sovereignty. If you do not know what Natural Law is, it is a group of spiritual laws that governs the dynamics of the Universe. These laws are the Laws of Nature or what some people refer to as God’s Law or Cosmic Law. The Laws of Nature are immutable and everything in the Universe is bound to them.

If do not know how the legal system really works, the information and video in this article may confuse you or make you wonder if any of it is true. As a person who have studied contract law and trust law, and how the legal system works from behind the scene, I can confidently say that the information about the legal system that Dean Clifford shared in the video at the end of this article is quite accurate.

HTML is a wonderful language for a number of things. For one thing in particular, it's really great: it's becoming a sort of universal communications language for e-business, which is good, to some extent. And as a result, HTML often passes through firewalls without any checking at the firewall. Once past, it can cause problems. But there is a solution, if you're running Microsoft's Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server).
Sometimes the HTML can be used as a transport vehicle for hackers, and they can drop nasty little code snippets into your operation that, if not caught, could be a problem for any applications that might want to make use of the info that comes in with an HTLM document or with an XML document.
But ISA offers the capability to do some filtering and stop information that isn't safe from getting to where it can do some harm. You can set up such a filter based on some simple data's presence in the document, and thus stop data that you don't want from coming in.

Cosmopolitan Passes Digital Subscription Milestone
Cosmopolitan Magazine says they just hit 100,000 paid, digital subscribers and they did it at a higher price point than the print subscription. (Why digital and ebooks often cost more than the print version, I’ll never understand.)
Cosmo, the smart but still sexy magazine for women, also has more than 3 million print subscribers. In 2010, the VP of publishing said that the magazine sells “430,000 copies every month through Walmart alone.” Compared to that, digital is a drop in the virtual bucket, but it’s still a huge achievement.
Magazine and newspaper subscriptions have been a hard sell online and on mobile. It’s not about economics, it’s about psychology. We’ll drop $10 on a latte and muffin or $15 to see a movie, but we don’t want to pay $19.99 for a full year of a digital magazine.
We’ve become so used to getting digital information for free that having to pay even a modest fee feels insulting.
There is hope. As more people discover the joy of tablets, the more we slide toward digital goodies. In November 2011, the Association of Magazine Media reported good news from tablet owners.
The report found that 66% of people who read magazines on tablets and e-Readers think they’ll be spending more time with digital issues over the next year, while 90% are respondents said that they are consuming as much – if not more – magazine content since acquiring a tablet.
Even more encouraging, 59% of digital magazine subscribers said they wanted to buy products directly from the digital pages.
For Cosmopolitan, those 100,000 digital subscribers represent a potential customer pool that’s miles closer to buying the products they see. A print subscriber has to go to the store, remember the brand and locate that lipstick they loved in the ad. For digital subscribers, it can be done with a couple of clicks and the lipstick is on the way.
Why is Cosmo succeeding where others are struggling? A couple of reasons. One, could be that they’re only selling digital subscriptions separately where others offer digital as a bonus with a print subscription. Two, Cosmo told AdAge that there everyone in company works on everything. No separation between the digital and print editorial people. That works toward a clear path and overall company growth.
Third, and probably most important, is the Cosmo demographic. Their average customer is an 18-35, educated, employed woman, mostly single, who want the best things life has to offer. In other words, they have income and a will to spend it on quality items. Can’t get a better customer than that.
What are your thoughts on digital magazine subscriptions? Will they put print out of business or is print here to stay?

New toolkit helps in the fight against opioid overdoses
Opioid overdoses and life-saving naloxone are frightening and serious subjects. But a new easy-to-understand resource can help organizations and the average person identify the signs of an opioid-overdose and how to deliver potentially life-saving naloxone.
Reducing Harms: Recognizing and Responding to Opioid Overdoses in Your Organization is particularly useful for community groups who work with at-risk populations. The resource is also useful for the average person who wants to learn more about how to use naloxone during an opioid-related emergency at home, at work or at play.
This toolkit was created by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), Ontario Division and was developed with support and advice from mental health care providers including CMHA, Muskoka-Parry Sound, as well as people with lived experience. It is even more effective when it accompanies hands-on training provided from pharmacies or public health units that distribute naloxone.
“You don’t need to be a clinician to understand this resource. It’s created to give regular people and organizations basic information about using naloxone and how to respond to opioid overdoses,” said Camille Quenneville, CEO of CMHA Ontario. “Given the impact of fatal overdoses we believe naloxone should be as widely available as possible, and this toolkit will help.”
The toolkit provides:
o An overview of the current situation in Ontario related to opioids, naloxone, and opioid-related emergencies, including definitions and facts.
o Explanations of symptoms and who may be at-risk of an opioid overdose.
o Information about where to get naloxone and instructions about how to use it.
o Information about caring for an individual after they receive naloxone.
o Information about supporting employees in the aftermath of an opioid emergency.
o Considerations about implementing a naloxone-delivery policy, including myth-busting information about naloxone administration.
For more information, download the resource from the CMHA Ontario website.

Happy Birthday, L!
Today is my little L's first birthday! Where has the time gone... actually, that's not true because it feels like it has been more than a year, but it is amazing that he is one already. Low key celebration tonight as we are all exhausted.
We arrived back in our hometown around 2pm today from our trip to Florida. The kids have fallen asleep off an on all day (L was awesome on the plane!) and I haven't felt this tired in a loooong time.
Tomorrow is my day to sleep in, so I plan to be up and at 'em and back to normal soon.

Changes likely to bring liberalization
China is on the cusp of a golden era of growth, which will see it become the world’s second biggest film market and bring with it more market liberalization, according to an upcoming report by the China Film Association Research Center.As well as becoming the biggest film market after the U.S., by 2015 the market will see an end to monopoly control by state-owned groups; cinema construction will spread to smaller cities; there will be better branding of cinema chains; and animation will become a big part of the biz. The forecasts could be a reference to a loosening of the quota system, which allows roughly 20 overseas pics a year into China, but which biz figures insist is becoming less strict. “The figure of 10 billion yuan ($1.54 billion) box office last year is one of the highlights of our report, but we are not only interested in the headline figure, but also the positive way in which the whole industry developed, and the focus on structure,” said Liu Haodong, director of the China Film Association Research Centre and chief editor of the report. The report is due for release in coming weeks and weighs in at a hefty 560,000 words. Production, financing and cinema construction all expanded in 2010, and the scale of the industry grew significantly, according to the report, while 3D and Imax technology also performed strongly. The report notes that auds are changing, with more middle-aged Chinese going to films, whereas previously 20- and 30-somethings made up the bulk of cinemagoers. Also, a flurry of mid-sized cinemas in central and western China are boosting the industry. Film themes remain limited, said the report, which called for a wider selection of genres. Zhou Tiedong, prexy of China Film Promotion Intl., said the report also shows that Chinese films currently have few markets abroad. “It’s time to start promoting overseas sales,” he said. “All the film productions which could go to the international market now are co-productions, and many are not representative of China’s industry. We have 526 film productions, and almost 500 of them are stopped at the gate,” he said.

An article by Dr Keneilwe Munyai, d-school programme manager, detailing the d-school’s work with a community to determine the use of a Science Centre in George, was published in The Conversation yesterday.
In the first week of December 2017, the d-school held its third bi-annual Design Thinking Week at the d-school studio at UCT. The week comprises a four-day Introduction to Design Thinking for students from tertiary institutions all around South Africa.
The d-school celebrated d-finals, the day that student teams present their project ideas to project partners on 31 May, followed by their graduation on 2 June with Friends and Family Day. This semester marked the launch of our first Advanced Programme in Design Thinking for postgraduate students who had already completed our foundation programme. You can read about the programme in our latest d-stories.
At first glance, it looks as though the group of young adults is building Lego. But these are actually students at the University of Cape Town's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design Thinking, and they're using the colourful blocks to design a prototype. It represents policy reform ideas around transitioning from informal to formal economies. It's a complex system represented with very basic materials. This is design thinking in action: human-centred, problem solving activities that ground design thinking in practice. It helps students to understand and innovatively solve challenges...

Oops. I hope to catch something before somebody else does. I should have said SIMPLE predicates are always and only verbs. Complete predicates can contain all of the parts of speech. Also, a simple predicate can be compound, in which case, the conjunction making it compound could (and probably should) be considered part of the simple predicate.
Sorry about that.

Then on the drive home Jean was thinking about her fishing behind their house and seen a beaver down there so the drive home was Jean talking about that beaver. She asked Gerald ... are beaver any good for anything? Gerald said "they definately are" ... can you eat them ... "sure can" what do they taste like ... "taste like chicken" hahahaha

You know Len Wein. Award-winning comic book person. Co-creator of Swamp Thing and Wolverine and various other X-Men. Editor of Watchmen. Writer, at one time or other, of all the major characters: Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Hulk, you name it. That Len Wein. A great guy.
On April 6, 2009, a fire destroyed most of the home he was sharing with his wife Chris and their son Michael. As Len tells us, Chris was out when it happened. The men were home and asleep. He awoke to find the world in flames around him and he managed to get himself out and to save Michael, as well. Sadly, their beloved dog Sheba perished that day.
So did Len’s collection of books and toys and games and artwork and those things we accumulate that help define and enrich our lives. You have stuff. He had stuff. Insurance will fix the house but many things, including his comics, were not covered.

Acupuncturists and other volunteers responded to the recent natural disasters around the country and helped create a safety net for thousands of citizens in Joplin, Miss., Minneapolis, Minn., and Springfield, Mass.Tornados affected each of these areas in late May and early June of this year, causing loss of lives, destruction of homes, and challenges to the livelihood and well-being of residents.
The response of the acupuncture community was immediate and strong, bringing healing energy from the intense trauma caused by the tornados. Using models of organization and treatment developed by Acupuncturists Without Borders, organizers in each of these areas mobilized local resources and provided compassionate care to survivors, rescue workers, and other local responders.
We interviewed organizers from each of these sites, noting similarities and differences about each situation. Although logistics of organizing and locating services were time-consuming and sometimes frustrating, the response from those receiving acupuncture treatments has been and continues to be gratifying and overwhelmingly positive.
Insights from the Field
On May 22, a tornado devastated the town of Joplin, Miss. Over 140 people were killed by the force of the storm and subsequent disasters. Thousands of homes were destroyed, as well as businesses and other parts of the city's infrastructure.
Abba Anderson, LAc, MSOM. of Springfield, Miss. rallied to offer acupuncture care. She contacted Acupuncturists Without Borders (AWB) who responded by sending AWB Managing Director Melanie Rubin to train volunteers. In addition to over 20 licensed acupuncturists from nearby areas offering assistance, Acupuncture Detox Specialists (ADS) helped to increase capacity. The administrative offices of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA), located in Columbia, Miss., also played a supportive role in galvanizing the community's response. Anderson stated that the contribution of the ADS "... was critical to the effort, and not adjunct in any way."
A major challenge encountered by the acupuncture group was finding a venue in which to provide treatment. The Salvation Army offered space in their tent to the acupuncturists, and this worked well because it was a high visibility site that attracted survivors, rescue personnel and other community members. Efforts of the acupuncture team were broadcast on the local ABC television network, Channel 12. By sending daily email updates to volunteers, supporters, state officials, and other health colleagues, the level of energy was sustained and magnified.
Andersen commented that it was "... inspirational to see what acupuncture can do that no other form of intervention can accomplish." Over 1,500 treatments have been provided to date. Relating comments made by community members who received treatment, Anderson described the experience of a volunteer who came to clear debris, but was traumatized by discovering bodies and body parts. The volunteer confided to her that, following the acupuncture session, he was able to sleep for the first time since the tornado. Another survivor who was able to receive daily treatment told her that he was able to better control symptoms related to addiction, and to decrease the amount of medication he needed to manage cravings.
On May 22, a tornado also devastated a metropolitan neighborhood in North Minneapolis, Minn., killing one person, injuring dozens, and leaving more than 200 homes damaged or destroyed, and 400-500 people without shelter. In order to set up an AWB-supported, NADA-protocol acupuncture clinic to respond to this disaster, Candyce Clayton PhD, MSOM, LAc, put out a call Minnesota-wide to AWB-trained acupuncturists, other licensed acupuncturists, and acupuncture students, asking for clinic volunteers at all levels.
Dr. Clayton describes organizational procedures as follows: "We went to the two acupuncture/Chinese medicine schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul and received donations of needles and other acupuncture supplies. Approximately 50 people responded within 24 hours to our call for clinic staffing. Although securing clinic space was challenging, the Center for Families (under the auspices of the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches) made space available that was located a few blocks from where the tornado had touched down. Training sessions were held at the American Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Roseville, Minn. and the College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minn."
Acupuncturists provided information about the service on a post-tornado recovery website, promoted their work through the local jazz station, and posted clinic information on a site for local neighborhood residents. A local television station interviewed volunteers for evening news broadcasts.
Clayton's vision for the future includes: "getting our AWB-trained group accepted into the emergency response network of Minneapolis, St. Paul and state-wide, so that future efforts will recognize our legitimacy and the significant assistance we can provide in a trauma situation, and that we will be included when response units are being set up. We want it recognized that we are licensed, insured, certified, and credentialed, and that trauma survivors and responders benefit from our work."
On June 1, a tornado leveled a number of communities in the Springfield area, resulting in four deaths, property destruction, and hundreds of people needing shelter. This diverse community is home to immigrants from Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, and Somalia as well as to generations of Massachusetts residents.
Treatments have been provided at sites offered by the Salvation Army and the Disaster Assistance Center. Efforts here were coordinated by Karen R. Adams, LAc, a local acupuncturist from Greenfield who also volunteered with AWB in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.
In describing the team's work, Adams stated that acupuncturists are "largely working with the Five Needle Technique, or NADA protocol. It's a super protocol, and has some surprising effects. Amazing how relaxation can ease a sore shoulder!" Over 60 treatments have been administered by late June.
Although not an acupuncturist, Nancy Petersen, a community resident who wanted to lend her time and energy to relief efforts, became a critical part of the acupuncture relief efforts. Adams states: "It's been hugely helpful to have a local volunteer who is very well organized, committed to her community and has the time to travel around to the various sites This leaves me free to get volunteers and schedule them."
One common issue raised by each of the acupuncturists organizing relief efforts is the gratitude that they have for AWB's trainings and support. These provided a blueprint for mobilizing and coordinating volunteer acupuncturists and treatment planning. AWB's Executive Director and Founder Diana Fried, MAc, LAc commented on the experiences of these 3 different disasters. She told us that "Volunteers in each location were ready to go and prepared to respond. Having personnel trained and on the ground is critical" to successful efforts.
For the future, developing "connections with other first responders and relief organizations" will be important, as well as supporting legislative guidelines that allow for the use of licensed/credentialed responders. She encourages data collection that documents utilization, outcomes and safety of acupuncture.
Fried describes acupuncture as a "medicine of peace" that "helps those who have experienced trauma begin to recover the fragmented parts of their bodies, minds and spirits so they can function again." We share her vision about the fundamental importance and value of this medicine and salute the volunteers around the country who have contributed so much to global healing.

I have a deep line under my right eye that was caused by a surgery that didn't turn all that well. This surgery resulted in the same lower eyelid drooping. I have had the droop fixed a little bit but the line cannot be fixed. I can only be filled. My question is, if I get Restylane injected into the line, will it pull my skin tight and cause the lower lid to droop even more? Does Restylane add any weight to the skin? Or is Restylane weightless? I circled the line in the photo I've provided.
Will Restylane Pull my Lower Eyelids Down? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Restylane under the eyes
The area in question is actually belongs to the cheek, not to the lower lid. It sounds that you had an ectropion of the lower lid after your surgery, that was corrected. Thinking logically, the filler treatment of the area in question can either cause the cheeck to become heavier thus causing more pull on the eyelid, or, the other way around, may provide a better foundation and support for the cheeck thus decreasing the downward eyelid pull. To provide a foundation, the filler needs to be injected deeper, over the bone; the problem with this is that it is harder to fully correct subcutaneous groove this way. I think in your situation it would be best to place some filler deeper and some more superficial, trying to find a middle ground so to speak. In any case, HA based fillers are not permanent, and even if you get some pull on the eyelid, this should go away once filler resorbs.
Restylane and lines
Without seeing you in person to look closely at the area you've pointed out, it is very difficult to determine whether or not you're a good candidate for Restylane treatment, and/or any dermal filler. Consider a consult with one or two reputable and well-trained providers in your area.
What you are highlighting is the midcheek groove.
The midcheek groove on your right cheek defines the lower boarder of your malar festoon. In addition to this it does appear that your lower eyes positions are compromised although the photos are not the best for assessing this. It is very common to use fillers to help the midcheek groove. I would say that going to a "board certified specialist" is unforntuately not sufficient to guarantee that the practitioner will have the skill, training and experience to satisfactory address this issue with a filler. You really need to find someone who does a lot of lower eyelid filler. Unfortunately it can be difficult to truly know in advance who does or who does not possess this level of skill and board certification in a particular specialty does not ensure this. However, it is a good basic qualification as it mean that this person has stuck to a particular training to achieve certification and that generally means that they are dedicated. This is always a good quality in a doctor or surgeon.

Restylane Under the Eyes
The area you have circled is a common area for fillers. The best answer is to have this area evaluated by a board certified specialist to see how deep the line is. Generally, restylane will not cause your lower eyelid to droop down IF injected by a skilled injector who is aware of the underlying anatomy.

I don’t drink, because I am an alcoholic.
I’m not ashamed to say that, but it’s not something I freely share. Because it is, oddly, not a reason that people will accept. You’re not an alcoholic, they’ll tell me. You’re such a happy drunk. To them, I don’t meet the criteria, and I can understand that. People that know me and have seen me drink have only seen the surface. People that don’t know me can’t imagine that I’d be that type of individual.
When I say that I’m an alcoholic, many people seem to want or demand proof. Without it, they insist I don’t have a problem. It’s like battling my inner voice and coming to terms with it all over again.
Because it’s the proof that shames me.
It was more obvious when I was younger, I think, but easier to discount as the mistakes of someone new to drinking. I was angry back then, and more volatile.
Looking back, I should have stopped drinking the first time I tried to fist fight my boyfriend. It was early winter, and we were at a party. I told myself that if he cared about me, he would find me if I disappeared. I went for a walk in the dark without telling anyone, making zig-zagged footprints in the thin dusting of snow on the road, my awareness flickering on and off like a lightbulb that’s about to go out. I returned to the party in a rage, and I came at him swinging.
That’s where my memory ends. But even now I think about how bewildered he must have been, to see me crying and throwing punches at him after disappearing for a few minutes. He probably thought I had left the room to mingle with our other friends. My anger understandably made no sense to him, and that only made me angrier.
This type of situation happened almost every time I drank enough to black out.
Seven years later, and my boyfriend is now my husband. I don’t try to punch him when I drink anymore. When we’re drinking with our families, I become giggly and happy and more open. I sing, and I dance. I am unashamed of my happiness and joy, and I show it— the shy girl that I am when I'm sober disappears.
But only my husband gets to see what it’s like when we come home. I get mean and belligerent. I manipulate to get what I want, saying and doing things that hurt him. I remember none of it, except sometimes there are brief flickers of panic. The fear that I said something that went too far, and that this time it’s going to be his breaking point.
I spend the entire night sick, and in the morning I say it’s because I have acid reflux. I’m hungover the rest of the day, trying to make amends for the things I don't remember, feeling ashamed and guilty and too tired to accomplish anything on my to-do list of ‘want-to’ and ‘need-to.’ Feeling miserable that yet another weekend wasted by getting wasted.
Often, this proof still isn’t enough— or people feel that ‘alcoholic’ is too strong a word. It evokes imagery of someone that has an addiction so fierce that they shake without it, have lost their jobs and destroyed their relationships because of it, and have gotten caught while driving under the influence. I don’t meet those criteria, but that doesn’t mean that if I were to continue with my previous patterns that I never would.
It is harmful to tell someone who is telling you otherwise that they don’t have a problem if they haven’t hit rock bottom yet.
They aren’t looking for permission to drink. They aren’t seeking validation about the type of drunk they are. They’re already fighting a voice in their head that’s bargaining— if you limit yourself to one drink, then you’ll be a normal drinker— even though that has likely proven to be false many times before. One drink leads to two which leads to too many. Sometimes alcoholics can stop at one drink, but mostly they don’t.
Neither are they making statements about your own drinking habits, even if they ask you not to drink around them. It’s because they can’t handle the temptation of being around it. But when someone assumes that an alcoholic wants them to stop drinking, too, or that the alcoholic is judging the other person, it can cause even more guilt. A request for support in this thing that was hard to admit suddenly shifts to managing the emotions of the other person, and comforting them instead.
When someone tells you they are an alcoholic, accept it. Listen to them and thank them for sharing with you. Ask them how you can support them, and they’ll tell you what they need. Understand that it’s not about you.
But if you do feel defensive when someone tells you they are no longer drinking, it may be time to reexamine your relationship with alcohol. You can take a self-test, provided by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence.
This post is not sponsored. These are resources that helped me understand and accept my alcoholism, as well as how to support other people in my life that struggle with addiction.

1972 Honda AZ600 Coupe
Here we have a 1972 Honda AZ600 coupe. Much like the 600 sedan that came before it, the 600 Coupe was an early entry into the US market for Honda Motor Corp. It offered an economic package with an air-cooled 600cc twin cylinder engine, 4-speed manual gearbox, and lightweight unibody chassis. The coupe was intended to be a sporty version of its predecessor. Although high speed and horsepower are not a characteristic of the 600, there are several sporty characteristics. To note a few…power front disc brakes, independent front suspension, and front wheel drive. The cars were not intended to last very long or travel hundreds of thousands of miles. However, this little 600 has great story and has traveled many miles.
VIN: AZ600 1002700
Engine: N600E 2502810
Transmission: 4-speed Manual
This particular 600 coupe was purchased by a young Marine in 1972. The car came out of Fullerton California from Jim Flagg Inc. During this period, Hondas were sold in various auto manufacture dealerships across the country. Many times, these dealers were Ford, Pontiac, Buick etc. The Marine was stationed in Anaheim California and his family lived in the Eastern Tennessee area. Several cross-country trips are documented in a auto logbook. Along with this, the cities, fuel fill ups and mileage traveled were documented. The current mileage on the car is just under 60k miles. There are two log books that document the mileage up to 80k. So the car is believed to have 170k miles. This is a big accomplishment for the little 600 given Honda intended for these cars to last about 30k miles.
The car was originally blue. It was repainted several years back in a bright yellow. At one point, a vinyl roof was added to the top as well in yellow. It fits very well and is not separating from the surface. The body is very solid. There are slight signs of repair when the car was repainted but it really looks nicely done. The chrome is all in excellent shape. This 600 is very complete with several pieces that are hard to find for these cars. All of the lights, glass, and rubber pieces are in great condition. The rear “scuba mask” trunk lid has typical corner cracks but closes well. All locks and latches work as they should as well. The interior is very complete and looks wonderful. No wear on the seats, the dash is crack free, and the headliner is clean. All of the electrics and gauges are in excellent working order. Included are several books included the original warranty card and log books. There is no spare tire but it does have the jack and tool kit. The engine starts up and runs smooth. These are not powerful in anyway but have enough power to pull the car around! Its shifts smooth and the linkage is nice and tight… very easy to get into 1st and reverse. Overall the car drives really well and handles firm on the road. This is a very well sorted and complete AZ600. It is an excellent candidate for a restoration in its original color. Or one could enjoy it as it sits now. The next caretaker will not be disappointed.

SpaceX says its low-earth orbit Starlink satellite broadband service could be operational in September. That’s according to President/COO Gwynne Shotwell.
“We’ve successfully deployed 1,800 or so satellites, and once all those satellites reach their operational orbit we will have continuous global coverage so that should be [in the] September timeframe,” Shotwell told the virtual Macquarie Technology Summit.
The company still needs regulatory approval from any given country to be able to provide telecom services, she said, according to ZDNet.
SpaceX has run beta services in 11 different countries. “We’ve got almost 100,000 users. Half a million people want to be users, but we need the electronic piece part situation to settle down so that we can actually build the user terminals for the folks that want the service,” Shotwell said.
The FCC awarded SpaceX $885 million in grant funding last December to bring the satellite broadband service to people in 35 U.S. states, Inside Towers reported.

How Latent Are Your Defects
Generally defined, a latent defect is one which could not be discovered using ordinary and reasonable care in inspection. It is a hidden or dormant defect in a product that cannot be discovered by observation or a reasonably careful inspection. Typically a new vessel purchase agreement includes some form of manufacturer’s warranty which otherwise might cover repair or replacement of defective conditions, equipment or latent defects. In the unfortunate case that a latent defect manifests its presence after the expiration of a manufacturer’s warranty and claims against the manufacturer for repair are unsuccessful, we turn our attention as to what role an “All Risk Marine Insurance Policy” may play for coverage and remedy to cure a latent defect.
The most shallow of All Risk Marine Insurance Policies are silent or typically exclude any coverage whatsoever for latent defects. More common, however, we see the disingenuous conventional language in an insurance policy which addresses latent defects:
- ALL RISK INSURANCE
This policy covers the insured against all accidental risks of physical loss or damage to the insured property.
Latent Defects: Latent defects and physical damage or loss caused by latent defects are covered under this insurance policy. “Latent defect” as used in this policy means a hidden physical defect (but not a defect in design) in the material or construction existing at the time of the original build of the insured vessel(s) or manufacture or installation of any additional or replacement parts, components or systems of the insured vessel(s) which are not discoverable by ordinary observation by an experienced marine surveyor or known methods of testing, provided such loss or damage was not caused, in whole or in part, by a lack of due diligence by the insured. Latent defects and any physical damage or loss arising out of or caused by latent defects are covered only if there are no warranties, guarantees or other insurance covering the latent defect or such damages or losses. The coverage provided for latent defects and physical damage or loss caused by such latent defects is subject to an obligation on the part of the insured to identify and enforce any and all rights and claims under warranties, guarantees or other insurance.
There is no coverage for defects in design, manufacture, construction, workmanship or installation of insured property, other than coverage for latent defects as set forth and limited in this policy. There is no coverage for the cost of re-designing, correcting, or modifying any defect in design, manufacture, construction, workmanship or installation of insured property. However, physical damage or loss to other parts of the yacht resulting from such defects will be covered.
So…after you discover that your vessel is falling apart due to faulty design and construction, and the yacht manufacturer is now out of business, and after reading the above paragraph five times, you ask yourself, “Am I covered by my insurance?”
We learn in the first paragraph of this policy language that there is an absolute duty by the insured or vessel owner to exhaust its claims for any damages caused by latent defects against responsible parties such as the manufacturer, but in this case such recourse is not available.
The second paragraph excludes coverage for defects “in design, manufacture, construction, workmanship or installation of insured property…However, physical damage or loss to other parts of the yacht resulting from such defects will be covered.”
My estimation is that the physical damage or loss to other parts of the yacht from the latent defects might be a very difficult claim to prove even with the most understanding adjuster representing the underwriter.
Attention should be paid to the fine print of both the Manufacturer’s Warranty and your Marine Insurance Policy before you conclude the second happiest day in your life, the purchase of your dream vessel. Be sure to read, review, and understand the terms and conditions of the written language in an effort to avoid the possibility a “latent defect” exists in the terms and conditions of your All Risk Marine Insurance Policy. We have recently experienced an increase in the number of disputes from boat owners originating under Manufacturer’s Warranty claims and denials of insurance benefits, and we seek to educate and caution the uninformed accordingly.

That is the rationale why, when you will have a pleasant, nicely organized record with all of the casino websites, you’ll be able to relax assured. One caveat: You cannot declare this deduction for premiums paid for any month that you simply had been eligible to be lined beneath an employer-subsidized well being plan supplied by both your employer (you probably have a job in addition to what you are promoting) or your partner’s employer (if she or he has a job that provides household medical protection). There are several exceptions to the penalty, together with a bit of-identified one that may protect taxpayers age sixty-two and older within the 12 months they retire and the next yr. One must also generally bluff to confuse the opposite opponent gamers; however, they must be cautious about bluffing as over bluffing could make the opponent gamers catch the trick.

Typically, you may deduct curiosity solely in case you are legally required to repay the debt. The penalty works like curiosity on a mortgage-as if you borrowed from the IRS the money you did not pay. But when dad and mom pay a kid’s scholar loans again, the IRS treats the transactions as if the money has been given to the youngster, who then paid the debt. As a result of our tax system operates on a pay-as-you-earn foundation, taxpayers usually should pay 90% of what they owe throughout the 12 months, or 100% of the earlier yr’s tax, through withholding or estimated tax funds. Beginning with the 2021 tax yr, the credit score will begin lucky8 to part out if revenue exceeds $80,000 ($160,000 for joint filers).

Nine days ago our daughter was born. For reasons we may never know, she decided that 36 weeks was enough cooking and was born happily and healthy at home.
|Four days old|
We are all adjusting to the changes and so very grateful for how smooth the process was. I struggle to find the words to honor these experiences that have shifted our life in such profound ways.
Thank you so very much to all those who have helped us and continue to help ease our transition. We appreciate your care more than we can express. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we adjust and strive to be the best parents for this incredible person.

You give me money, I’ll give you creative.
I’ll start when the check clears.
Time is money. More time is more money.
I’ll listen to you. You listen to me.
You tell me what you want, I’ll tell you what you need.
You want me to be on time, I want you to be on time.
What you use is yours, what you don’t is mine.
I can’t give you stuff I don’t own.
I’ll try not to be an ass, you should do the same.
If you want something that’s been done before, use that.
If you want your way, you have to pay.
If you don’t pay, I have final say. > Let’s create something great together.
Part of me really likes it. It’s clear, understandable, and much more open than regular terms, which feel designed to obfuscate and cause more issues (and cost) than they prevent or resolve.
Another part of me finds it really facetious, almost vulgar, and verging on combative more than extra communicative. The first three lines being about money, the fifth, suggesting infallibility in the part of the contractor and thereafter, it just comes across as accusatory and defensive, more like a frustrated checklist of what has previously gone wrong for this designer, rather than a piece of communication meant for commencing a secure and positive relationship.
Like someone starting a sentence with “Now, I don’t want to come across as nasty or bitter or anything, but…”. Too late. job done. Don’t think of a pink elephant.
The idea then, really nice, the execution, perhaps they just need a hug?

8 Reasons to Become an Entrepreneur (Infographic)
Do you dream of starting your own business but fear giving up a stable paycheck?
Rather than focusing on that fear, consider how your life will change when you are doing something that you truly enjoy.
No matter what you choose to do in life, there will be pros and cons. When you focus on the risks of losing your regular source of income, you distract yourself from the benefits of pursuing your dream.
Here are eight "pros" of becoming an entrepreneur:

The first thing 38 percent of North American mobile workers do when they wake up is check email, followed by 33 percent in Asia and 29 percent in Europe.
iPass Inc., a leading provider of mobility services for enterprises and telecom service providers, recently published its quarterly Mobile Workforce Report, which found that 60 percent of mobile employees reported 50 to 60 hour-plus work weeks that also include weekend days as the most popular time to work remotely. The report also illustrates mobile workers' resourcefulness in doing whatever it takes to get wireless connectivity: 29 percent have hijacked an unsecure Wi-Fi network, while 30 percent have driven around in their car in desperation to find free Wi-Fi. In addition the report found a 16 percent increase, since 2011, of mobile workers waking through the night due to stress.
"Connectivity is like oxygen for today's mobile workers. The improved ability to work anywhere as long as they are connected appears to be driving higher productivity. This reinforces the need for IT departments to provide services that ensure high quality, safe and affordable global connectivity for their employees," said Evan Kaplan, chief executive officer at iPass. "While having control over when, where and how one works is a significant benefit in terms of well-being, mobile workers themselves need to take care to manage the unique stressors that an always connected work-life brings."

There were plenty of Thanksgivings and birthdays where my dad forced us into fervid family ‘discussions’ about climate change when we could just as easily been having critical estate planning conversations about my parents’ long-term care strategy or other important topics that never seemed quite as urgent. When I had to take over their medical, legal, financial, and property matters due to illness, I was glad we’d at least done some basic estate planning. I had the necessary documents when I needed them, which was great. But I quickly developed a list of things I wish we’d talked about “before”…and wished we could have a refund on some of the time spent on The Climate Change Conversation.
Here are the top five topics I wish we’d talked about instead:
#1 Money: Who’s Paying?
Money is first on the list because it’s so important (but I’m kind of cheating because we actually did talk about money.) It’s no secret that long-term care in the U.S. is expensive, as is medical care. If you think you’ll outlive your savings, your kids should know. Caregiving for parents is a financial hardship that many Americans — particularly women — are encountering without warning. Know what care costs, and how you’ll pay for help if you need it.
If you haven’t talked to your adult children — in broad terms — about your finances, it’s time. They need to know: Who will pay the bills if you cannot?
And I mean that in all the literal senses: where will the money come from, as well as who will send the actual payments. Create a financial power of attorney document to authorize an “agent” (a person of your choice) to make financial and legal decisions for you if you’re not able. Then share the document as well as relevant account information with that person.
#2 Sharing the Care: Who’s Who?
When my parents needed help during a medical crisis, family, friends, and others pulled us through until we were ready to bring in professional caregivers. I knew who my parents’ closest friends were and how to contact them, but only because I’d thrown a surprise party a few years earlier and had tracked down the info then. I knew who their professional advisors were, but only because I used them myself. If your children don’t know who should be called on for help in an emergency, let them know: Who can help in an emergency, and how can they be reached?
#3 Medical Matters: Are You On Something?
If you’re relying on someone for help in an emergency, will they know how to answer important questions or find important documents? When my mom had a stroke, the doctor asked about her medication. There were four of us there, including my dad who’d lived with her for over 40 years and none of us had enough information to answer the ER doctor’s questions about what she took or who prescribed it. Your emergency contacts should know: What medications are you on, and for what conditions?
#4 Your Final Wishes: Who’s in Charge if You’re Not?
Let’s pretend there’s been an emergency. If you can’t speak, someone is going to make treatment decisions (or final arrangements) for you. Who will that be? Have you talked to them about what quality of life means to you? Or about your preferences for final arrangements? Consider this: there are over a dozen decisions that need to be made more or less immediately when you die — and that’s just the decisions related to the disposition of your body. If you’re alive, but there’s only one big decision to make, it can be even harder. Save your friends and family some time and anguish. Let them know: What are your end-of-life care wishes?
#5 Skip the Scavenger Hunt: What’s Where?
Taking over my parents’ affairs was a monumental task. It took months to create a consolidated view of all their medical, legal, financial, and property assets and obligations. Not because they had some massive estate, but because it takes a lot to keep any life in motion. It’s easy to take the details for granted.
Your estate documents provide the legal framework for someone to assist you and know what your wishes are if something happens to you. Beyond that is “everything else” — the information on what property you own, where your financial accounts are, and what other obligations you have that may need tending to or taking care of if you’re not around to do it yourself.
Whether you buy a workbook like the one I created or make your own system to organize all the information, your adult children should know: What will it take to manage (or settle) your affairs?
These conversations can be awkward and difficult, but ultimately rewarding. I know, because I was lucky to have time with my parents to figure it all out together. That’s how I also know that none of these talks were any worse than The Climate Change Conversation…and they had a much higher return on investment.
P.S. Want to keep in touch? Sign up for the newsletter! I don’t send more than one email a month, and never share your information.

It’s an interesting concept, and the text probably owes a lot
to Taral’s own views on the financial rewards of art.
Taral has also depicted his signature character Saara Mar in a similar pose as “The Artist” on FurAffinity.
Amusingly, one of the comments to that picture read “I don’t get it... Why isn’t she turning into stone?”

Police stopped the vehicle and the driver only had a provisional licence.
The incident happened on 4 November.
‘This BMW decides to give the Sergeant a ‘Maverick’ style fly by on the motorway and hits speeds in excess of 140mph for over 20 miles before being tactically stopped at Jnc 29a.
‘This included a section of lane closures restricted to 40mph and unlit sections.
‘If that wasn’t dangerous enough the driver is found to be a provisional licence holder, uninsured and positive at roadside for cocaine.
‘Driver arrested and vehicle seized. Passenger walking.
‘A couple of fatalities prevented for sure.’

By now, many of you have probably watched season two of “Stranger Things” on Netflix. Don’t worry: There are no spoilers here — except I really didn’t expect to see that beach scene with Kevin Bacon in the Upside Down.
(That didn’t happen.)
If you’ve been watching the series, maybe you’ve had similar thoughts and reactions to mine. Several times while I was watching, I had to remind myself this whole thing was created by Netflix. This wasn’t a Disney or Marvel or Lucas Films production designed for huge movie theaters; this was created by the old DVD mail service that now streams “Friends” reruns to your XBox. Most of the actors were completely unknown to the public before this series, and — of course — the premise of the show is pretty ridiculous.

Not all of us have a ton of money, if any, to spend on Christmas gifts (author raises hand), but that doesn’t mean you can’t give something to those around you whom you love. With a little imagination, you can discover your special gift that you can give to those around you—for free!
1. Gadget training. If you Grandma just got an iPad or DVD player, spend time showing her them ropes on how to use them efficiently.
2. Babysit. What do most parents need? A night to themselves to go on a date! If you are good with kids, offer your services.
3. Swap services. If your friend is a broke plumber and you are a broke social marketer, offer to do some online marketing for your friend while they fix your garbage disposal.
4. Teach them. Now’s your chance to be a know-it-all. Do you have a special skill such as speaking a foreign language or the ability to play an instrument?
5. Start a book club. Books can be cheap or free if you get them Project Gutenberg. Host a once-a-month book club at your house and give the gift of learning all year long!
6. iTunes transfer. This can take some time, but for that special person, this is the ultimate gift! Import all of their CDs into iTunes for them (no, it’s not piracy).
7. Be a host. Offer to host a monthly or quarterly party or game night at your place. Tell them you’ll plan it, send the invites, etc. To make sure you’re not spending money, require attendees to bring food and drink.
9. Cook. If you are a gourmet cook without the cash to spend on the ingredients, shop for the groceries (they pay), prepare and serve the meal, and then be sure to clean up.
10. Workout partner. Offer to be a workout partner to a friend who really needs it. When you exercise with others you are more inclined to keep going even if you lose motivation. It’s a superb gift that will also benefit you.

Esri’s gift of free GIS software for all K–12 schools in the United States opens up new horizons for teaching not only geography but also history to American students.
Geographers and national leaders have long been concerned that geography is not being taught enough or very well in K–12 classrooms, as I outlined in my winter 2011/2012 column for ArcNews. Over the past few decades, changes in school curricula have often substituted a mushy blend of “social studies” for rigorous, stand-alone courses in geography and history, as well as other core subjects. These blended social studies classes are often taught by teachers who have some undergraduate background in history but who frequently have little knowledge of geography or GIS.
Esri’s ConnectED donation of ArcGIS Online to all US classrooms is now turning out to be a boon for history teachers as well. Most of them can benefit by integrating GIS into both their history classes and the geography components of their social studies courses.
This synergistic development should come as no surprise, as geography has traditionally had its longest and deepest interactions with history. Geographers have practiced historical geography with distinction for centuries, as illustrated by D. W. Meinig in his book, The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History, to name just one example. And many historians, such as Fernand Braudel, have contributed geographically grounded historical accounts that have become classics in the study of geography.
During the past few years, significant new forms of interaction between geographers and historians have also begun to emerge. In higher education, geographers and historians are integrating historical and geographic research agendas using spatial analysis and new geographic technologies—and the potentially transformative implications of this work for both history and geography are clear and exciting. These areas of intellectual, educational, and technological collaboration—often referred to in shorthand as historical GIS—are now sparking fundamental reevaluations of historical research methods and interpretation. They are also revealing new possibilities for education and a better understanding of our world in both history and geography.
Historians and history teachers are starting to understand key aspects of GIS, such as its ability to integrate, analyze, and visualize large amounts of spatial and temporal data from multiple disciplines and sources. They are also beginning to comprehend the technology’s ability to move across multiple scales, both spatially and temporally, or geographically and historically. This capacity to combine space and time in one integrated system has profound implications for research and education in history and geography.
Many history teachers are beginning to grasp the significance of incorporating a spatial dimension across multiple scales into historical research and education, despite the barriers of vested interests and outmoded curricula in many of their schools. Daniel J. Bodenhamer, a prominent historian, has argued, for example, that “of all modern information technologies, GIS may have the most potential for breaching the wall of tradition in history,” noting that “its ability to integrate disparate information drawn from the same place at the same time allows scholars to simulate the complexity of history.”
Just as the microscope and DNA sequencing, for example, have revolutionized research and education in biology, making the work of Carl Linnaeus and Charles Darwin ever more important to modern biology and medical applications, so too do new geographic technologies, such as GIS and real-time interactive GPS/GIS technology, have the potential to extend rather than displace traditional research and teaching in geography and history.
Recent advances in GIS can help historians tackle the issue of explaining the historical construction of space, says Stanford University historian Richard White in the forward for Placing History: How Maps, Spatial Data, and GIS Are Changing Historical Scholarship.
“GIS creates the possibility of extending spatial analysis beyond the local scale,” writes White. “We can tell more complex stories more clearly and coherently.”
He also points out that spatial history not only fosters collaboration within the discipline but essentially requires it. Thus, the number of major international historical GIS projects—often coupled with traditional methods of historical and geographic analysis—continues to expand. Examples of such projects include the China Historical GIS, the Great Britain Historical GIS, the Tibetan and Himalayan digital libraries, the Hawai’i Island Digital Collaboratory for Humanities and Science, the US National Historical Geographic Information System, and the Holocaust Historical GIS Project, among many others. (These historical GIS projects are discussed in more detail in my article “Geohistories” in the book GeoHumanities [Routledge, 2011], from which portions of this column were adapted.)
Begin Using GIS for Education
Any school in the United States can sign up for a free ArcGIS organizational account by visiting Esri’s ConnectED home page. Scroll down, click “Request a free school account,” and complete a brief online form to get started.
The AAG-Esri GeoMentors program can help with technical support and educational resources as well. Sign up online to seek GeoMentor assistance (or to serve as a GeoMentor), and then program staff will provide information on how to integrate GIS into the classroom or extra-curricular student activities. The GeoMentors website also has details about available training and curriculum materials, as well as information on how to connect with GeoMentors, teachers, and school collaborators. Additionally, join and follow several GeoMentors online communities, including those on social media, to get program announcements, discover helpful new resources, and meet fellow members of the GeoMentors community.
Among the many educational materials available to K–12 history and geography teachers are the Esri GeoInquiries for US History. They are designed to be fast and easy-to-use instructional resources that incorporate advanced web mapping technology. With no installation, fees, or logins necessary, instructors present the 15-minute activities in each collection from a single computer or projector. The Esri GeoInquiries collection includes a range of subjects, such as history, geography, and earth science, and is meant to supplement the lessons and topics already being covered in the classroom. Each GeoInquiry even describes the specific textbooks and chapters with which it aligns so the activities adhere to current curricula.
Many other educational resources for teaching and learning GIS are also available. The My Community, Our Earth: Geographic Learning for Sustainable Development (MyCOE) program, for example, works with students in the United States and around the world on GIS and geography projects within their own communities, and some assignments include historical GIS components. Access the program, which is supported by a number of US federal agencies and international organizations, or contact Candice Luebbering for more information.
Historical GIS is destined to be common ground for the disciplines of geography and history for decades to come. We now have new synergistic opportunities for history and geography teachers to collaborate to benefit our K–12 students, thanks to Esri’s remarkable gift of GIS software to these schools.
At the Association of American Geographers, we seek creative and productive new ways to enable interaction between geography and history, these two old friends that have coexisted and been in conversation for millennia. As we embark on revitalizing and reenergizing American educational agendas, these time-honored disciplines of study and research are fresh with promise and laden with enormous new potential for understanding not only our past but also each other.

Kolkata, Feb 14 (IANS) With an aim to rapidly increase trade with Eurasia, negotiations have started between India and Eurasian countries for a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA), an official said Thursday.
Russia and the central asian countries comprise the Eurasian region.
"The negotiations have just begun on the CECA. It's roughly the same like foreign trade agreement and when concluded our trade with Eurasia will increase rapidly," Ajay Bisaria, joint secretary (in charge of Eurasia), ministry of external affairs, told reporters here.
He was addressing a seminar on business partnership between India and Eurasia.
According to him, 90 percent of the rail link of the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) is almost commissioned with only some "missing links" along the corridor remain to be connected.
The INSTC is a multimodal network connecting India to central asia through Iran. It is expected to reduce cargo transit time between some points by as much as one month.
"Once the INSTC is operational, the transportation of containers would be 30 per cent faster," he said.
"The vital logistic link between India and Eurasian economies such as Russia and Central Asian countries including, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan is expected to be operational by 2016," said Bisaria.
This agreement is aimed at facilitating the trade between India and the Eurasian countries with the completion of INSTC project, he added.

In 1981, the top three floors of the Laban Pratt Wing opened, providing 32 critical care beds. The community's demand for the Hospital's services continued to grow, prompting the filing of a Determination of Need with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for 152 additional beds.
Under the direction of Hospital Director Clark, and William F. Meara, Jr., chairman of the board, the Hospital reorganized again in 1982 — this time into a parent corporation: South Shore Health and Educational Corporation, and four dedicated subsidiaries: South Shore Hospital, South Shore Joint Ventures, South Shore Management, and South Shore Properties.
Also in 1982, the Hospital's cancer management program was recognized for its excellence and received accreditation from the American College of Surgeons as a Community Cancer Management Center. To better coordinate the high influx of emergency patients, South Shore Hospital joined Quincy City Hospital and Milton Medical Center to form the South Suburban Emergency Medical system.
1982 was also the year the Hospital introduced use of a computerized tomography (CT) head scanner, the nursing standards committee was formed, the Institutional Review Board was instituted by the medical staff, and the occupational health department was established.
The years 1983-84 saw many improvements under the corporation's new chairman, Jane S. Phillips, former president of The Friends; and Drs. Charles E. Rounds and Philip O'Sullivan, who each served as medical staff presidents during Phillips' two-year term.
In 1983, South Shore Hospital helped many older people continue to live independently at home by offering the Lifeline® emergency response system, which enables subscribers to contact help at the push of a button. The first 50 Lifeline® units were purchased with the help of the Hospital's annual appeal and a $28,000 donation from The Friends, led by Friends President Barbara MacSwan.
The most significant event of 1983 was the opening of the South Shore Health Care Center in Marshfield, an urgent care center that was later sold.
Diagnostic capabilities were enhanced when the Hospital acquired Doppler ultrasound in 1984. A pastoral care department was begun that year as well, with the appointment of a full-time ecumenical chaplain.
In 1985, a new chairman, Edward S. Amazeen, led the way, along with Dr. Albert H. Marcus, medical staff president. Under Amazeen's chairmanship, South Shore Properties, Inc., a subsidiary of the Corporation, led the development of the Nevin Professional Building , a group of medical condominiums linking key elements of medical staff with the Hospital. The Hospital also introduced an organization-wide computer system that year, acquired a full-body CT scanner, and joined the Voluntary Hospitals of America, which uses group buying power to acquire supplies at low rates.
|780 Main Street was purchased by South Shore
Hospital and became an outpatient surgical
center and physicians officesin 1986.
In May 1986, Clark moved into a consulting role with the Hospital after 17 years at its helm, and in September 1986, David T. Hannan was appointed president and chief executive officer of both the Hospital and its parent Corporation.
Under Dr. Arthur J. Garceau's tenure as medical staff president in 1986, the Hospital's critical care program was highly ranked in a nationwide study comparing teaching and non-teaching facilities, receiving attention in the national press, including The New York Times .
To round out a busy year, The Friends made a significant contribution to the Hospital to help fund a courtesy coach service, providing patients with free transportation to and from the Hospital. A trauma unit within our emergency department was established, with the help of a three-year pledge of $125,000 from The Friends. And, after several years of negotiations with the state Department of Public Health, the Hospital gained approval for a 60-bed expansion.
The following year brought a new chairman, Edward F. McHugh, Jr., and a new medical staff president, Dr. Richard A. Alemian. Both would serve through 1988. In 1987, the Corporation affiliated with the VNA Foundation of the South Shore, the parent organization of South Shore Visiting Nurse & Health Services (SSVN&HS). SSVN&HS comprised the Visiting Nurse Association of the South Shore, Hospice of the South Shore, and Home and Health Resources of the South Shore. This affiliation formalized a long-standing working relationship between the region's largest health care provider and the largest home health provider, and ensured continuity of care from hospital to home following discharge. Two Hospital physicians in particular, Drs. James R. Everett and Albert Sullivan, both board-certified oncologists, worked closely with Hospice and helped nurture the relationship.
Another important event in 1987 was the groundbreaking for a new 60-bed addition, financed through the sale of $34 million in bonds.
As health care financing by the state and federal governments became more and more uncertain, the need for Hospital fundraising increased. The Corporation, under McHugh's guidance, recognized this in 1987 when it formed South Shore Health and Educational Foundation and appointed Amazeen as its chairman. The Foundation has since been a vital catalyst for obtaining much-needed capital for investment in new technology, growth, and program development.
Medical highlights in 1987 included the start of a Phase I cardiac rehabilitation program, and expansion of nuclear medicine and ultrasound departments. Cardiology, along with four other clinical areas — emergency medicine, maternity, oncology, and orthopedics — began to be actively developed as the Hospital's "centers of excellence." Toward that end, a new director of emergency services, Dr. Leonard Winer, was hired to enhance emergency services and to help recruit new emergency medical specialists.
In 1988, South Shore Hospital became the first in the Northeast to offer an on-site autologous blood donation program in association with the Red Cross.
The anesthesiology department began using epidural pain management to give patients virtually pain-free recovery from surgery. The program was actively promoted by Dr. James Wechsler, staff anesthesiologist. The Hospital added cardiac rehabilitation Phases II and III (on an outpatient basis), and Hospice of the South Shore became the area's first hospice program to be awarded Medicare certification. The Hospital also instituted a formal patient advocacy program to enhance patient/family satisfaction.
|The Emerson Building in 1989 was named after Dr. George Emerson,
a hospital founder who had died a few years previously.
In 1989, the organization continued to prepare for the coming decade under the guidance of SSHEC Chairman Harry W. Healey, Jr.;, Medical Staff President Bartley G. Cilento, MD; David Hannan, and his administration team. A new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) center opened at the end of 1988 as a joint venture between the Hospital and the Shields Health Care Group of Brockton, making advanced diagnostic imaging technology available locally. A new kidney stone lithotripter, a new technology for non-surgical removal of kidney stones, opened in June, the first of its kind in Southeastern Massachusetts.
Also in June, Dr. James M. Klick, staff anesthesiologist, brought distinction to the Hospital's critical care program by becoming one of the first inductees into the newly-formed American College of Critical Care Medicine. Dr. Klick was one of only 156 physicians nationwide to be accepted into this organization. The honor called attention to the unique status of the Hospital's anesthesiologists, who also function as critical care specialists in the Hospital's critical care units.
South Shore Hospital 's critical care program received another boost in 1989 in the form of a $100,000 donation from The Friends, led by Friends President Bridget B. Blasser. The funds helped purchase new monitoring equipment for two of the Hospital's four critical care units.
The Planning Committee focused on four major areas of study: evolving medical practice standard (quality and technology issues); impact of an aging South Shore population; role of government in the financing and delivery of health care; and availability of key resources, such as physicians, personnel, and capital.
It recommended four action areas for the 1990s: community focus, the hospital-physician partnership, demonstrating value, and re-thinking the delivery of services.
|Nurse Nancy Schultz (left) and two unidentified
nurses move the first patient into the
60-bed Emerson Building in 1989.
The decade ended on a high note with the opening of a new 60-bed addition, three times as large as the original Weymouth Hospital . The ad hoc committee formed to name the building recommended that it be named for Dr. George E. Emerson — the Weymouth surgeon who began this story.
The new Emerson building featured two 30-bed patient care floors, dining room, renovated and expanded administrative offices, as well as a new gift shop. It is a tribute not only to Dr. Emerson, but also to the many members of the South Shore Hospital community who played a role in its development.

We couldn’t have dreamt up a better musical match than the recent collaboration between Kurt Vile and Courtney Barnett. The two seem like natural creative partners; both are prone to electric guitar freakouts, both are associated with the term “slacker” despite enviable productivity, and both of them have an innate knack in finding meaning in the mundane.
The duo have been on an extensive tour for their new collaborative album Lotta Sea Lice, and stopped at the gorgeous Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, where they not only delivered emphatic renditions of tracks from the new album — “Over Everything,” “Intercontinental Friendships,” and “Blue Cheese” — but also played a range of each other’s more popular hits including Barnett’s “Depreston” and “Avant Gardener”, and Vile’s “Pretty Pimpin”. When the two played each other’s tracks, we really got to see how easy-going their sonic relationship on stage is. Although this collaboration is their first, Vile and Barnett seemed innately connected on stage as they traded off gnarled guitar riffs and deadpan deliveries of their stream of consciousness style lyrics.
You can check out film photos from the evening, shot by photographer Lance Williams, below.

The Northern Cross is a prominent asterism formed by the brightest stars in the constellation Cygnus.
The constellation is often confused for the asterism because the Northern Cross is much easier to find than the entire constellation.
The asterism is formed by five bright stars: Deneb, Sadr, Albireo, Rukh, and Gienah. It is easy to locate in the night sky, especially in the summer months, when it is high overhead for observers in northern latitudes.
The first step is to find Deneb, the bright star that marks the Swan’s tail. Deneb is one of the three stars of the Summer Triangle, along with the even brighter stars Altair and Vega. The Northern Cross can be found within the Summer Triangle.
Albireo, the second most prominent star in the Northern Cross, marks the Swan’s beak. It is not as bright as Deneb, but can easily be seen without binoculars on a clear night. Albireo is located roughly halfway from Altair to Vega and slightly offset toward Deneb. Once you find Deneb and Albireo, it is easy to make out the pattern of the Northern Cross.
The Northern Cross lies in the direction of the Milky Way’s disk, and the galactic plane (equator) runs through the asterism.
In the northern hemisphere, the cross-shaped pattern is visible for at least part of the night throughout the year. It is most readily seen in the summer, when it rises in the east at sunset, climbs directly overhead after midnight, and moves to the west by sunset.
The stars that form the Northern Cross are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon Cygni. Deneb (Alpha Cygni), Albireo (Beta Cygni), and Sadr (Gamma Cygni) form the pole of the cross, while Rukh (Delta Cygni) and Gienah (Epsilon Cygni) mark the cross beam.
Deneb, Alpha Cygni, is the star at the top of the Northern Cross. It is a highly luminous blue-white supergiant with the stellar classification A2 Ia. Deneb is one of the brightest, largest, hottest stars in our region of the Milky Way.
With an apparent magnitude of 1.25, it is the brightest star in Cygnus constellation and the 19th brightest star in the sky. Deneb’s estimated absolute magnitude is -8.38, which makes it one of the most luminous stars known. It is also the most distant of the 30 brightest stars, by a factor of almost 2. It has a diameter 100-200 times that of the Sun.
The name Deneb is derived from the Arabic dhaneb, meaning “tail.” The star was also known as Arided and Aridif, but these names have fallen out of use.
The star’s luminosity is just as difficult to calculate, but estimates range from 54,000 to 196,000 solar luminosities.
Deneb is a very massive star, which means that it will have a relatively short lifespan. It will likely explode as a supernova within the next few million years.
Deneb is a prototype for a class of variable stars known as the Alpha Cygni variables. The star’s surface exhibits non-radial fluctuations and, as a result, its spectral type and brightness change slightly. Its brightness varies from magnitude 1.21 to 1.29.
Sadr, Gamma Cygni, is the central star of the Northern Cross, and marks the Swan’s breast. It is a yellow supergiant star with a visual magnitude of 2.23, located approximately 1,800 light years from Earth.Sadr has about 12 times the Sun’s mass and 150 times its radius. It is 33,000 times more luminous than the Sun. The star’s estimated age is only about 12 million years. As a result of its mass, Sadr is going through its supply of nuclear fuel rapidly and will have a much shorter life than the Sun.
The star’s name is derived from the Arabic word şadr, meaning “chest.”
Sadr is surrounded by a diffuse nebula called the Sadr region or the Gamma Cygni region. The nebula has the designation IC 1318.
Albireo, Beta Cygni, is the star located at the base of the Northern Cross. It also represents the Swan’s beak.
Located about 400 light years from Earth, Albireo is one of the finest double stars in the night sky, with contrasting blue and yellow components, sometimes described as sapphire and gold. The primary star is an orange giant with a visual magnitude of 3.1 and the secondary component is a blue star with a magnitude of 5.1. The primary component is itself a binary star. Albireo B, the secondary component, is a fast-rotating Be star with a rotational velocity of at least 250 km/s. The Beta Cygni system can easily be resolved in large binoculars and small telescopes.
The two main components, Albireo A and Albireo B, are separated by 35 seconds of arc. It is uncertain whether they form a physical binary system, but if they are, their estimated orbital period is likely at least 100,000 years.
The binary nature of Albireo A was discovered in 1976. The two components are orbiting each other with a period just over 213 years. They are separated by about 0.4 seconds of arc and one needs an instrument of at least 20” in aperture to resolve the indvidual components.
Albireo is only the fifth brightest star in Cygnus. Even though it got the designation Beta, it is not as bright as Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon Cygni.
The name Albireo is a result of mistranslation. It is believed to have originated in the Greek name for the constellation Cygnus, which was ornis. The name was translated into Arabic as urnis. When the Arabic term was translated into Latin, it was mistakenly believed to refer to the plant Erysimum officinale, and was translated as ireo, which was the Latin name for the plant. Later, the phrase ab ireo was transcribed as al-bireo because it was treated as a misprint of an Arabic term.
Medieval Arabic astronomiers called the star minqār al-dajājah, which means “the hen’s beak.” This name was translated into Latin as Rostrum Gallinǣ.
Gienah, Epsilon Cygni, is the easternmost star of the Northern Cross and marks the Swan’s right wing. It is an orange giant belonging to the stellar class K0 III, lying at a distance of about 73 light years from Earth. It has an apparent magnitude of 2.5. The star has a radius almost 11 times solar and is 62 times more luminous than the Sun.
Epsilon Cygni has a line-of-sight companion, Epsilon Cygni B, which isn’t physically related to the star, and another possible companion, Epsilon Cygni C, with which it may share a common proper motion, separated from the main companion by 78 arcseconds. If the two stars are gravitationally bound, they have an orbital period of at least 50,000 years.
The star’s traditional name, Gienah, comes from the Arabic janāħ, meaning “wing.”
Rukh, Delta Cygni, is the westernmost star in the asterism, and marks the left wing of the Swan. It is really a triple star, consisting of two stars close together and another one more distant from the main pair.The system lies approximately 165 light years from Earth. The components have an orbital period of 800 years. The main star is a blue-white giant belonging to the spectral class B9. It is a fast spinner, with a projected rotational velocity of at least 135 km/s at the equator.
The close companion of the primary star is a yellow-white star with a magnitude of 6.6. The two stars can be resolved in a medium-sized telescope. The third star in the Delta Cygni system is an orange class K twelfth magnitude star. The combined apparent magnitude of the system is 2.87.
Rukh is one of the eight stars that serve as the North Star, the nearest bright star to the North Celestial Pole, over the course of Earth’s 26,000-year precession cycle. The other stars that lay claim to the name are the current North Star, Polaris in Ursa Minor, Alpha and Kappa Draconis in Draco constellation, Alpha and Gamma Cephei in Cepheus, Vega in in the constellation Lyra, and Tau Herculis in Hercules.
Delta Cygni will take over as the North Star around the year 11,250 and be the nearest bright star to the pole for at least four centuries.
Cygnus constellation culminates at midnight on June 29. For observers in the northern hemisphere, the constellation is best viewed from the early summer to mid-autumn.
The Northern Cross has symbolic meaning to Christians because every year before Christmas it sits upright on the horizon in the north-western sky for observers in northern latitudes.
In Greek mythology, Cygnus constellation is associated with the story of Phaeton, son of the Sun god Helios. Phaeton decided to go for a ride in his father’s chariot, lost control of it, and was thrown from the sky into the river Eridanus. His friend Cycnus, lamenting his death, kept plunging into the river to find him. The gods were moved by his efforts and transformed Cycnus into a swan. In another myth, Cygnus is associated with Zeus himself who seduced Leda in the guise of a swan.
The Northern Cross occupies a region of the sky full of interesting deep sky objects. The North America Nebula lies just to the northeast of Deneb. It can be seen in binoculars in good viewing conditions. The open cluster Messier 39 can be found to the north of the star. It is visible in small telescopes and low-power eyepieces. Another open cluster, Messier 29, can be seen in binoculars just to the south of Sadr, but is better viewed in small telescopes. The Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant, can be seen in a large telescope or a small one with an O-III filter, near Gienah. Cygnus X-1, a famous black hole, lies about halfway along the Swan’s neck.

The first international workshop in the framework of the FOT- Net project was successfully held on 20 November this year, after the ITS World Congress in New York. The workshop attracted more than 50 participants from Europe, US and Japan. FOT-Net is a support action under contract of the European Commission to network Field Operational Test activities at European, national and international levels. Various activities are currently organised in the framework of this project. One action is to network FOT activities at International level. The workshop aimed to bring international FOT stakeholders together to discuss common working items and possible cooperation.
The workshop highlighted the need of the different regions (Japan, US and Europe ) to cooperate on various common issues, such as data handling and sharing, methods and deployment issues. Firstly, discussions were held on methodology items, such as the formulation of shared research questions and the definition of structural data formats for exchange of data. Due to the high cost of FOTs, especially in the current economic context, the participants also highlighted the importance to consider the use and exchange of substitute measures. Secondly, the exchange of data as a scientific endeavour for FOT organisers was largely approved, even if practical implementation of this data exchange raises many issues. To facilitate data exchange, it was suggested to develop a common Minimum Set of Data and standard tools to analyse this data. Thirdly, the audience discussed the use of FOT results to trigger deployment of the technologies tested, and suggested to exchange specific and successful examples and business cases of FOTs.
The workshops participants concluded that there is a need for more in-depth discussions between researchers who have the practical experience of implementing FOTs to share experiences and solve common problems. The organisation of some more concrete workshops at international level was a way to cooperate on more specific well defines items. European stakeholders have initiated this process with the in the FOT-Net seminars. These seminars could be scaled at international level.
Last but not least, officials took the opportunity to announce the endorsement of an International Collaboration Agreement between US DoT RITA and the European Commission DG INFSO. The agreement unlocked funding opportunities supporting, among other topics, international FOT cooperation. Concretely, European activities are funded by DG INFSO and US activities funded by US DoT under a joint project. Also, other possibilities do exist such as additional funding for existing activities.
The full report of the workshop are available on www.fot-net.eu

Unless you’ve been locked out of your house or car lately, you probably haven’t done a lot of research into the best locksmith in car locksmith Las Vegas NV. But take a couple of minutes to think about it now. If you got locked out of your house today, would you know which business to call? There are a lot of locksmiths out there, but they are not all created equal. Here are a few tips to get you started in your search.
Find a locksmith who takes safety and security seriously
A locksmith worth his salt will have safety in mind. After all, he is in the business of unlocking houses, cars, and other structures and letting people inside, so he’d better make sure everything is on the up and up! He should wear appropriate identification and make sure you see it when he meets you. He should also ask to see your I.D., so that he can verify that you own the vehicle or home he is about to unlock.
Choose a locksmith without a compromising background
Since you will be inviting someone to learn intimate details about the kind of security you have for your automobile or home, it’s probably best to find someone without an extensive criminal background. Ask your locksmith for his DBS/CRB certificate: a trustworthy employee will have an up-to-date copy of this paper at the ready, and will be happy to show it to you.
Listen to your peers
When it comes to the safety and security of your home and car, only the most trustworthy locksmith in Las Vegas, NV will do! So take a few minutes to go online and read up on potential candidates.
Try the Better Business Bureau to see if the business is a member in good standing. Check the company’s website to see if they have customer testimonials. And if you know friends or family who have used a locksmith you are considering, consult with them, as well. A good company will have nothing to hide, and may even want to supply you with the contact information for a few clients they’ve serviced recently who have agreed to share their experience, so you can speak to them directly and ask about the business. locksmithlasvegas4u.com
Too many companies (locksmiths and otherwise) outsource their services instead of staying local. National call centers often subcontract their orders to anyone willing to go to your home to do the work, and may not perform adequate security checks. Additionally, they may not know much, if anything, about their history: do they do good work? Are customers happy with their experience? Did they protect their client’s privacy well? If the company that hires these workers doesn’t know, it probably isn’t a good sign for you.
When it’s time to find a locksmith in Las Vegas, NV, remember: go local, and find someone who takes your safety and happiness as seriously as you do!
See if this sounds familiar: you’ve got your hands full unloading groceries from your car, and you shove the car door shut as you hurry to the house—only to realize too late that the keys are still in it. You immediately call up a locksmith in Louisville, KY and believe, understandably, that they’ll get you back into your car and on with your life for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, what you don’t know might be your undoing: not all locksmiths are created equal.
It would make sense that if you call a locksmith, they would quote you an honest price and get the job done. But there are a surprising number of locksmiths that are trying to give you the bait and switch. Here are three things you should know. locksmith service denver CO
A dishonest locksmith will quote you a price that’s too high
Picking a basic lock, such as one that might be installed on the back door of your home, shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes, and therefore shouldn’t cost you a fortune. A locksmith looking to turn a quick buck may stall and take extra time to make the job look tougher than it is, and then charge you double what the total bill should be. Don’t be afraid to ask around and do some sleuth work. Find out what the average cost is for the service you’re requesting, so you don’t get baited into paying a higher price than you should have to. flatratelocknkey-denver.com
A ‘local’ locksmith isn’t always as local as they claim to be
Recent undercover tests have discovered that some locksmiths who use a number with a local area code actually operate out of state. They advertise on the Internet as being local, but callers are frequently routed to an out-of-town call center, which is where other states’ calls are routed, too. Some companies quoted a lower price than the one that was charged when they showed up for the work. Others evaded requests for a concrete address. It pays to do your homework and find a company that is truly local!
Some locksmiths don’t follow common safety practices
Imagine coming home to find your back door unlocked and your house ransacked. Your flat screen TV is gone; your computers are missing, too, and someone found your secret cash stash in the kitchen junk drawer. How did this happen? It’s possible you forgot to lock the door—but it’s also possible that a disreputable locksmith in Louisville, KY responded to a house call where someone who wasn’t you asked to be let ‘back’ into your house. A reputable locksmith company will ask for proper identification and proof that you live at that address before they’ll pick the lock to let you back inside.
When it’s time to find a locksmith in Louisville, KY, make sure you go with an honest, local, and safety-conscious company, so you can get back to your life in no time, without being swindled.

Definitive Proof That the U.S. National Team Is Screwed In the 2014 World Cup
By now, you’ve probably heard that the United States Men’s National Soccer Team got royally screwed during the FIFA World Cup Draw on December 6.
The U.S. team landed in the “Group of Death” along with world soccer powerhouses Germany and Portugal, and Ghana, the country that just happened to knock us out of the past two World Cup tournaments. The U.S. team’s chances look pretty bleak.
Though the drawing probably wasn’t rigged like some internet theories are suggesting, it’s pretty undeniable that the U.S. had some really crappy luck. And now, Ben Hoban has proof of just how crappy.
Hoban took FIFA’s team rankings, and seeded the World Cup tournament like the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament is seeded, with the best team facing the worst team to start the bracket, and so on. He then figured out the schedule for each World Cup team based on his “fair” seedings, and compared that to the actual FIFA draw. Turns out, the U.S. team’s actual schedule will be much more difficult than it would have been with Hoban’s bracket seedings. Check out the graph from Quartz:
The U.S. team will face opponents with an average rank 14 places higher than Hoban’s seedings suggest it should. In fact, all four teams in Group G are at the top of the graph, meaning all four will face much more different opponents during group play than they would have. Perhaps it truly is the “Group of Death.”
But if you look at ESPN’s Soccer Power Index, the U.S. actually has almost a 40% chance of advancing to the elimination round. Portugal has slightly better chances, and Ghana slightly worse. Germany is all but a lock at this point, with over a 90% shot at advancing.
Still, the U.S. might not even be in the hardest group. Germany is the only team in ESPN’s SPI Top 10 from their group, while Group B has three teams – Spain, Chile, and the Netherlands – all in the Top 10. No wonder Australia has less than a 1% chance of advancing.
So take heart, America. Yes, you did have truly terrible luck during the FIFA draw. But hey, it could always be worse. Right?

Bungie as a Developer, Activision as a Publisher, Blizzard as a Partner with their Battle.net launcher. We assume that these three big names have put a lot of work in the PC version of Destiny 2. After Destiny 2 launched on consoles, all the PC players were kind of disappointed because of their prolonged launch time. However, the day is about to come very soon as October 24th is just about 10 days from now. Before the Launch of Destiny 2, as it should be, Activision and Bungie have revealed Destiny 2 PC minimum requirements and size of the game.
According to their announcement, Destiny 2 will need quite a powerful rig to run the game smoothly. To taste the game at a minimum performance level, you will barely need an I3-3250 @ 3.5GHz or AMD FX-4350 @ 4.2 GGz and Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB, GTX 1050 2GB, or AMD RADEON HD 7850 2GB. The Ram memory the game needs is decent with only 6GB of ram, while the recommended is at 8GB.
Looks like the optimizations are quite high and lower end PCs will be able to somewhat enjoy what Destiny 2 will offer on PC. On the other side, the Recommended requirements should be suited by Intel Core i5-2400 3.4 GHz, i5 7400 3.5 GHz or AMD Ryzen R5 1600X 3.6 GHz.
Destiny 2’s size will be around 68GB of disk space, which is by double more than the Xbox and PS version.
The PC Version of Destiny 2 should and will offer advanced visuals and will support 4K Resolution, with unlimited frame FPS. To be honest, the PC Beta offered quite an amazing performance, so we’re not that bothered by the veracity of the newest announcements. Destiny 2 will be released on October, 24. In the meantime, Destiny 2 will launch the Prestige version of the Leviathan raid and it will go live throughout the next week, as it was postponed to Oct.18 because of an exploit discovery.
Below you can find the full detailed report on the minimum and recommended requirements:
Destiny 2 MINIMUM PC REQUIREMENTS
CPU Intel: Intel Core i3-3250 3.5 GHz or Intel Pentium G4560 3.5 GHZ
CPU AMD: AMD FX-4350 4.2 GHz

GPU AMD: RADEON HD 7850 2GB

Chandigarh, July 12,2018 ( By SK.Vyas): Standing firmly by the demand of players of PSPCL sports cell, Gurpreet Singh Kangar, Power Minister, Punjab said that Punjab Government is absolutely in favour of encouraging sports culture among the youth and absorbing them in suitable avenues. He said that since the inception of sports cell of PSPCL over 400 players have been a part of it and PSPCL is proud of holding All India Sports Control Board Champions Trophy for over a decade and a half. We have an Arjuna Awardee as our Senior Sports Officer and we also have a huge sports infrastructure in Patiala, Bhatinda and other districts. Most importantly, “Punjab government is committed to keeping the youth away from drugs by means of providing suitable job opportunities to all; hence the question does not arrive of declaring sports cells as a dying cadre.” “I have directed immediate reviewal of the decision by the Board of Directors and I ensure the players that PSPCL will continue absorbing players in its fold as usual,” said Kangar.
It is pertinent to mention that BoD, PSPCL in its measures to prune the staff had proposed sports cell of PSPCL to be converted into a dying cadre. Implying abolishing of a post after the retirement of the current officer holding a post, no promotions for those under him, coupled with no new recruitment. Since Punjab Police and Punjab State Power Corporation Limited are the largest organisations giving dignified job opportunities to the talented sportspersons this decision on the part of Power Minister is a welcome relief to the young players.

At Chirofit, by getting to the root cause of your condition we see quicker and more complete recovery of nerve and musculoskeletal injuries. Whether you’ve experience chiropractic before or new to chiropractic care, you will feel the difference in these precise yet gentle adjustments. Dr. Rencher restores your body to its relaxed and flexible state of harmony. You’ll begin to wonder why you waited so long to get this care.
Dr. Rencher uses the Gonstead Technique. This method of chiropractic uses a scientific and biomechanical analysis. Dr. Rencher has helped thousands of people around the world, and has taught the Gonstead Technique to students and other chiropractors nationwide. Whether you are suffering from chronic neck pain, sports injuries, car accident, disc injuries, sciatica, or carpal tunnel we can help you.
Are you in pain?
Pain medications, injections, even physical therapy may help you temporarily but our goal is to find the source of that pain and resolve it so your body can heal fully. Sciatica pain, herniated discs, pinched nerves, migraines, stiff joints, sprains and whiplash need the proper alignment to heal fully.
Car Accident Injuries
Whiplash, headaches, back pain loss of sleep and other joint injuries may come on immediately or worsen weeks after your accident. It’s best to have your injuries evaluated immediately after your accident.
In most cases, your treatments are covered in full by the car insurance.
Muscle work and Massage
When the skeletal system is misaligned, the body will begin to compensate for this imbalance. Every time you take a step with your misaligned body, the muscles are being recruited improperly. This is why at Chirofit, you will often see my patients walking on the sidewalk around my building to train their muscles after the adjustment.
Massages. ART (Active Release Technique) are given to assist the body in healing fully. Old injuries may require deeper types of massage to permit full motion of your joints.
Exercises will be given at the office and for home programs to help you maintain your adjustments. You’ll learn everything from proper sleeping positions to strengthening exercises, helping you to put those symptoms in the past.
Have you given up hope?
Unfortunately, many of our patients have taken a long route of unsuccessful treatments before they reach our office. If you haven’t seen results with prior chiropractic, medical treatments, physiotherapy, podiatry care, it’s very likely that we hold the key to your recovery. If you’re still on the fence, consult with Dr. Rencher, she offers a free 10 minute consultation.
I came to Dr. Rencher with back pain, migraines, and asthma. In the past 13 years I have struggled with these problems. I was offered pills or nothing at all by other healthcare providers. And I have been to other chiropractors.
Because a friend referred Dr. Rencher to me I have finally found effective help. With Dr. Rencher’s treatments I have had only one migraine in 10 months. I no longer need pills for pain and my asthma is under control!
Dr. Rencher is awesome! She truly cares about your health.
– Sonia W.

Skanska chosen to develop and construct new university hospital, New Karolinska Solna, in Public-Private Partnership, PPP
The construction contract amounts to approximately SEK 14.5 billion and the investment to SEK 650 M.

The project is the first in health and medical care in Sweden to be conducted as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP).

As previously, all care in the new hospital will be conducted by the Stockholm County.

Abstract or Description
This paper uses a principal-agent model to study the interaction between hedging and earnings management. Hedging makes earnings management more difficult and they appear to be strategic substitutes in this model, which is both consistent with existing empirical evidence and provides a new explanation for that evidence.
If hedging decision is contractible, hedging is efficient since it reduces both the risk premium and the equilibrium amount of earnings management. If hedging decision is not contractible, however, hedging does not always alleviate the agency problem. Surprisingly, sometimes a scenario of no hedging but allowing earnings management is efficient. The reason is that motivating hedging may require a more costly compensation scheme to mitigate the appeal of earnings management.
In addition, this paper shows that tolerating some earnings management is always efficient when there is no hedge option, since it is costly to eliminate earnings management. Sometimes it is inefficient to take any action against earnings management. However, with the encouraged hedge option, the cost to eliminate earnings management can be reduced significantly and zero tolerance of earnings management may be efficient.

The National Election Committee said Thursday it was extending by three days voter registration in 316 communes hit hard by recent flooding.
The extension was made at the request of local election officials, political parties and election monitors, pushing the date from Oct. 15 to Oct. 18. The areas include 71 communes in Kampong Thom province; 51 in Kampong Cham; 37 in Prey Veng; 33 in Kampong Chhnang; 31 in Preah Vihear; 20 in Kandal; 15 in Kratie; 13 in Pursat; and 10 in Takeo.
Meanwhile, the election observer Nicfec and the National Democratic Institute said in a report they had found evidence in some communes of people being registered without documentation and that not all registration sites were open as late as they should be.
In 40 percent of 299 observed communes, people were allowed to register without coming in person, a violation of the law. The groups also said they found evidence that a new NEC regulation that should have allowed the use of expired national ID cards was not followed.
Kuoy Bunroeun, a lawmaker for the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, said the findings of irregularities were supported by the party’s own observations.
However, NEC Secretary-General Tep Nitha said dimissed the findings, saying it did not have similar reports from commune clerks, council members or political parties.
About 660,000 people have been registered so far, he said, far exceeding the estimated 470,000 who were expected.

The rubber Frisbee was the Boxer’s Frisbee but the Doberman wanted it because the Boxer’s had it. But the Boxer wasn’t letting it go.
This Doberman was going after any toy from every other dog then dropping the toy after he ‘stole’ it.

Aside from what should be on the home page, few things are harder than determining what the navigation structure should be on your church website. It is not only a technical decision, but a business decisions, and in some cases a political decision. Your primary navigation shapes how people use your site and ultimately how easily they can find information on it. By applying some basic information architecture principles you can come up with a structure that fits your individual church and utilizes common practices on the web.
So what drives your navigation structure? Tasks! Consider what people want to know about your church, then develop content to answer those questions. Some content that is fairly universal among churches are:
People want to know what you believe in. Whether this is a copy and paste from your denomination’s primary site, or a list generated by your church elders, you need to post it. Also, provide this information in multiple formats, from a streaming video of the pastor, a bulleted list on a web page, or a downloadable PDF.
Besides corporate worship, what does your church do? What outreach programs are there? Do you have youth and/or adult ministries? Bottom line you need to tell people what is available to them.
Several methods for people to contact you need to be available, and at least one needs to be on every page. These contacts may be a prospective member, someone wanting to get married, or a group like Girl Scouts wanting to use a room once a week. Regardless, provide addresses, phone number, E-mail address, and online forms for them to use.
This is mostly applicable for multi-site churches, but I wanted to address it now. One of your groupings should be a listing of your locations, highlighting what each offers. However, do not create your entire site structure around your locations! Show all you have to offer along with their respective points of contact. That way you can discuss standing up that service at a location closer to them.
The above listing is not a one-size-fits-all outline of navigation. I am just trying to help fledgling churches get something together quickly and easily. But do keep in mind that your navigation must answer your users questions or they will become frustrated and leave.
To further eliminate frustration, the labels on your navigation must be related to the tasks they wish to complete, and use clear, concise, common language. This is not the time to get fancy or prove how smart you are. Use words that get the point across quickly and do not have alternate meanings. Also, consider how they sound in case you have any vision impaired users using a screen reader.
Examine your existing site’s structure. Does it follow these guidelines, and can you accomplish the common tasks people in your target market need to do? If you do not have a site, consider those common questions new members have (hint: ask your pastor or their secretary), and develop a structure that answers those points easily.

The Storys are:
Steve Balsamo - vocals/guitar
Andy Collins - vocals/bass
Rob Thompson - vocals/guitar
Brian Thomas - drums/percussion
Alan Thomas - keys/mandolin/banjo
Dai Smith - vocals/guitar (left August 2008)
Rosalie Deighton - vocals/guitar (replacing Dai Smith)
An introduction to The Storys:
The Storys are a 6 piece 70s west-coast-influenced country-rock band from South Wales who formed in Spring 2003.
With 4 singer-songwriters all taking lead vocals on different songs, their sound is both fragile and intense, underpinned by a dark lyrical edge. They can turn from tender country-tinged ballad one minute to an as-wide-as-the ocean stomp the next - in the same category as classic harmony vocal bands such as Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Crosby Stills Nash & Young and The Beatles, all of whom also had multiple singers.
"There is much to revel in within the intricate vocal harmonies of this Swansea sextet's sound" - Classic Rock Magazine
Formed with the intention of writing classic songs with great hooks, melodies and lyrics, their beginning was prolific with songs falling out of the sky and behind every song a story containing characters and a soundtrack to their lives. There was a natural vocal chemistry: "Everyone would just sing a part and it would fit naturally. Nothing was worked out. We went for a 'if it sounds good, it is good' approach and kept the natural parts even though they might have been musically imperfect", says Steve.
"The Storys possess an ability to pen instantly classic songs which ooze class" - Music Week
Their debut album was recorded in an old converted cinema in the heart of the Welsh hills. It took over a year to complete, and was initially released on the band's own Hall Recordings label. It had some fantastic initial reviews, and somehow got into the hands of Sir Elton John.
"They have made a fantastic debut album" - Elton John
A huge music fan, Elton personally called Steve and told him how much he loved the album. He then invited the band to tour with him all over the UK and Europe during the summer of 2005. He invited them again during the summer of 2006 and they played the Liberty Stadium in their hometown of Swansea in the summer of 2008. In between, the band successfully headlined several of their own British tours and supported Katie Melua on some UK and European dates. The Storys ended 2007 supporting Joe Cocker in the UK.
"Swansea's answer to The Eagles" - Classic Rock Magazine
The debut album 'The Storys' was picked up by the iconic Warners Korova label in the UK, and Ryko in the US. Soon after, the band headed off for the South By South West festival in Austin, Texas where they played to great reviews. As a result of their appearance, the song 'Be By Your Side' was picked up and used in hit US teen drama One Tree Hill. And 'I Believe In Love' and 'Save Me' were used in hit Brit gangster flick 'The Bank Job'. Director Roger Donaldson loved the band so much he asked them to appear as themselves in the movie!
"Robust and rewarding The Storys serve up soaring harmony rock that suggests a well-spent youth absorbing all things good from the USA's West Coast" - Rock 'n' Reel Magazine
The band headed to Peter Gabriel's Real World studio complex with renowned producer Jon Kelly. Kelly's impressive CV includes Kate Bush, The Beautiful South, Paul McCartney, Chris Rea and The Damned. They had what Andy describes as, "the most enjoyable time ever!" making the record, and the fantastic results can be heard on their current album 'Town Beyond The Trees'.
"Wonderful songs, great playing and instinctively beautiful harmonies" - Bob Harris, BBC Radio2
2008 was a fantastic year for The Storys. It kicked off with the Dear Mr Fantasy gig at the legendary Roundhouse in London, which saw the band on stage with Joe Walsh, Steve Winwood, Pete Townsend, Bill Wyman and countless other legends playing the songs of the late Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi. This was followed by another successful tour of the UK and a week of shows in Monte Carlo. Unfortunately , at this time Dai Smith decided to leave the band and was replaced by the brilliant and beautiful country/folk singer Rosalie Deighton. From there the band headed to Amsterdam for the biggest gig of their career - supporting Celine Dion. The Storys received a standing ovation from the sell out crowd of 64,000 people at the Amsterdam Arena that night.
"Hotel California opens South Wales Branch... can bang out a Laurel Canyon ballad or freeway cruisin' harmony-rocker with aplomb. This second album finds them almost insolently self-assured..." - Uncut Magazine (4/5)
A huge show as special guests of Santana in Locarno, Switzerland followed. Then a long drive straight to Germany for a week of gigs with fellow Celts, Runrig. As if this wasn't enough, they were than asked to open up for Van Morrison on his British shows as well as playing at a terrific festival with Daniel Lanois and Sinead O'Connor in Belgium.
"This group is really tight, the vocals are superb and the songs are written to last through the ages. What's not to like?" - Maverick Magazine (4/5)
The Storys have performed at many festivals in the UK - notably Glastonbury, Guilfest, Bestival and the Maverick Country Music Festival. They have also played at a number of festivals across Europe, including Stars and Moon in Switzerland, Lokerse in Belgium, Tollwood in Germany and Take Root in Holland. The Dutch seem to be taking The Storys to their hearts as their first 2 singles from 'Town Beyond The Trees' - 'Long Hard Road' and 'Evangelina' have been playlisted on many national and regional radio stations. As a result, 2008 ended with the band heading to Holland again to play some radio shows and make their debut at the legendary Paradiso in Amsterdam.
With lots of great new songs penned and a new album in the pipeline, The Storys are eagerly looking forward to many more adventures that lie ahead.

Latest Tax Reforms
The 2011 Finance Act's second revision was published in the Official Journal and came into force on the 21 September.
The 2012 Finance Act provides for various tax reforms which are still under discussions.
Certain case law in 2011 also has an important impact on foreigners investing in France
Taxation of Capital Gains on Real Estate:
Previously, second homes in France were exempt from taxation of any capital gain after fifteen years of ownership. After five years ownership, a 10% deduction to the gain was allowed annually. Thus, after fifteen years any gain was exempt.
With effect from 1 February 2012, the period of ownership to achieve an allowance of 100% has been increased to 30 years, and the annual allowance, after the first five years of ownership has been reduced as follows:
• 0 to 5 years ownership – 0%
• 6 to 15 years ownership – 2% a year (up to 20% cumulative)
• 16 to 24 years ownership – 4% a year (up to 52% cumulative)
• 25 to 30 years ownership – 8% a year (up to 100% cumulative)
However, as a measure to prevent tax evasion, this mechanism will be applied from now on, regarding immovable assets transferred to civil companies, consisting in “contributions”, in cases where the owners are the shareholders.
The existing deductions in respect of the costs of purchase and sale and works to the property are unchanged. This applies to all immovable assets, except individual principal residences, this remains exempt from capital gains tax in France.
Other reforms applicable from 1st January 2012:
• A reduction in tax incentives for French tax residents, when investing in specific real estate properties, overseas investments and ecological equipment.
• French corporate taxation of prior losses will be changed. The carry-back system would be restricted and then suppressed. The carry-forward system will only apply.
• The 2012 Finance Act provides for an increase of the lower 5.5% VAT rate to 7%
All these changes, added to the previous ones, which came earlier in the year, should lead to reconsidering structures recommended to non-resident owners of French property.
Summary of the main changes which have already been passed in 2011:
• Shareholder current account held by a non-resident shareholder in a company holding French property is no longer deductible when calculating the value of his/her shares for wealth tax purposes.
• Increase of highest inheritance tax rates from 35% and 40% to 40% and 45% in direct line (parents to children). The same rates apply for gift between spouses.
• Tax treatment of Trusts in France has been substantially changed and regulated whilst it was before mostly dealt with by court cases. The law now considers the settlor of a trust who has a French “link” as being the owner of the underlying assets from a wealth tax point of view for example.
The law has also set up an annual tax which is very punitive when declarations and disclosure obligations are not respected. Trustees and clients are both liable to this tax. Specific inheritance tax rules have also been set up in the case of the demise of the settlor when the trust has French assets or French resident beneficiaries.
These rules are extremely important to take into consideration for clients who have trusts with any French connection, including those whose only connection is an investment in French assets.
Recent important court decisions which impact foreigners holding French properties:
• Administrative Court of Montreuil, 25 February 2011, regarding the non-application of the 33.33% tax rate to non-EU residents, based on free movement of capital, granted a reimbursement of the tax paid in excess (difference between 19% and 33.33%).
• Administrative Appeal Court of Versailles, 21 July 2011, regarding Swiss tax resident selling property in France, confirmed that the 19% rate CGT rate applies instead of the 33.33% applicable to non EU residents.
• Administrative Supreme Court decision of the 28 July 2011, regarding section 164 C of French Tax Code, cancelled the exemption of three times the rental value of the property, which used to benefit to EU nationals, residents in Monaco holding French property. The exemption of this tax based on European nationality is therefore no more applicable. Please request our specific tax briefing on the subject.
The market value of French properties should be valued with proper comparable methods, so that the owners can be correctly advised in view of the new rules.
Based on these real values, and the annual accounts of the property holding company, an analysis should be done to see if, the debts should be refinanced, the shares transferred or the property re structured.
All trusts having a French connection should be reviewed to understand the new obligations of the clients and trustees and eventually restructured. French assets could be located elsewhere or structured in a different way. Specific trusts could be created to separate assets benefiting French resident settlors or beneficiaries. All settlors, trustees and beneficiaries of trusts having a French connection should respect their disclosure obligation and file on time to avoid a penalty which can reach 5% of the trust’s assets from 2012.
Finally, from an estate planning standpoint, the increase of inheritance tax rates should be an opportunity to review current ownership structures based on the evolution of the family needs.

This year might not have been one of my best but if I can look back at it and sum it up in one word it would be, "GROWTH". I have made more changes this year and have a few more coming up. I made grown up decisions, decisions I never thought I would have to, I moved back home, have been humbled, awakened, and am finally starting to feel alive again. I have questioned every aspect of my life and grew up.
I know what makes me happy, what will make me happy and what I have to do to achieve it every single day.
I will always be grateful for this year even though it hurt like hell. Thank you for going on this journey with me. Since this blog has catered to my passion you experienced lapses of time where I couldn't write, took breaks and poured my soul into feeding this passion while not really knowing what was going on behind the computer screen. I made some incredible "virtual" friends that are now a part of my every day life.
My blog has become to be a part of me and I am so excited to see what 2011 brings.

Even if your smoker is portable, you may get a pay a visit to from the nearby authorities if a person complains about the smoke at all hours. You need to have to consider your neighbors before you spot that nice butt on to smoke-cook for 12 hours.
I know what you imply about not having adequate space. Often I wish my smokehouse have been a bit bigger. When I commence filling it with issues,I think of more foods I want to shove in there whilst it’s operating. Guess I do that with my hot smokers also even though.
Most of the epic item level 640 crafted gear utilizes one hundred of the BoP crafted components and a couple of bits of other fundamental raw supplies. It really is fairly straightforward to calculate the base cost of crafting these as one hundred x 5 raw materials if you get all your BoP material from operate orders. If you do use the a variety of Traders to buy BoP components then the calculations above will set the price tag for your epic item.

Pairings | Noisettes of lamb
Posted on January 19 2020 at 06:30
It’s tough to say what the best wine matches for lamb are - it’s served so many different ways and there are so many wines (mainly red) that work but here are my five favourites.

Burkina Faso, Jan 16 (ANI): The victims of the Burkina Faso attack relived their state of dismay while narrating their ordeal with the terrorists. They said American nationals were among those killed by the attackers, who shot indiscriminately at people during an assault on a cafe in Ouagadougou. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has claimed the responsibility of the attack. At least 20 people were killed after Islamist gunmen stormed Splendid Hotel in Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso in West Africa. Militants from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb have claimed the responsibility for the attack.

Re: What other Iron Man villains should appear in a sequel
- showing how she got that mask on would be huge. Only thing about that is, I think you might have to introduce Count Nefaria (her dad) into the story. He was always kind of weak to me. On the Black Lama level.
Maybe kedrell you remember, those 3 guys. One had a bolo the other 2 had electrified weapons
. They showed up in the early 100's of the 616. He fought them in the mall once. It would make for good Superman 2 type action.
Only thing about Blizzard is he's a 'cold' guy. Severl hero's have one of these in their rouge galleries. I don't want the average movie goer to think they were a large part of all hero's villians. He is a badd ass tho.
Luv the Ghost too.

Written by: Bob Colling
From: Cumberland, KY
1.) SMW Beat The Champ TV Champion Boo Bradley defeated Brian Lee to retain the title
2.) Lance Storm defeated Steve Skyfire
3.) SMW Tag Team Champions Rock N’ Roll Express defeated The Gangstas to retain the titles
1.) Bob Armstrong comes out regarding his surprise for Jim Cornette. Armstrong says that he is tired of groups attacking people. Armstrong says that Cornette’s union has been dissolved as of right now. Jim Cornette comes over and is freaking out about the union being broken up.
2.) Lee drops Bradley with several clotheslines at the start and hits a power slam. Lee misses a top rope knee drop allowing Boo to get control of the bout. Bradley leg drops Lee but only gets a near fall. Bradley slams Lee and heads to the top rope but misses a leg drop attempt. Lee hits a big boot and backs Bradley into a corner. Bradley sends Lee head first into the chain in the corner and gets the pin. (1/2*. Another really quick match and the cheap finish was seemingly used to just advance the Bradley gimmick. Lee seems to be lost and doing a lot of nothing lately.)
3.) Tammy Fytch is mad about Chris Candido getting suspended. She wants to know who the commissioner is for suspending Candido. Bradley will be taking on all of Candido’s opponents for the next three weeks. Fytch is happy with Boo getting wins. She beats on Bradley for smelling and eating the sofa.
4.) Jim Cornette and Bruiser Bedlam are interviewed regarding the announcement of his union being broken up. Cornette believes that he knows who the new commissioner is. Cornette believes it is a con job that Bob Armstrong is the new commissioner since Bob is the only man who has talked to the commissioner and made the recent announcements regarding Candido suspension and the union being broken up. Cornette hypes up the strap match with Dirty White Boy and how it is completely unfair. Cornette suggests that the Dirty White Girl is looking for a better man since White Boy isn’t the man he use to be. Dirty White Boy shows up in the ring and wants a piece of Bedlam right now. Bedlam enters the ring and White Boy gets several shots on Bedlam. Bruiser fights back and whips White Boy a few times. White Boy whips Bedlam again and they both trade shots. Cornette gets in the ring and is decked by White Boy quickly. Cornette is distracting White Boy to allow Bedlam to hit White Boy with a strap from behind. White Boy is handcuffed in the corner and Bedlam uses the strap to whip White Boy several times. Cornette gets a few whips in on White Boy, as well. Bob Armstrong runs out and makes the save.
5.) A video promoting the debut of Bryant Anderson is shown. Ole Anderson is his father and Ole cuts a promo to put over his son. We are going to see Bryant wrestle. It looks like they have an issue with Tracy Smothers and when Bryant Anderson arrives Tracy Smothers will be the first target.
6.) Dirty White Boy is pissed showing is welted back and says that nobody does that to the Dirty White Boy. He is going to get a strap and he is going to bust Cornette’s ass.
7.) The main event between The Rock N’ Roll Express and the Gangstas didn’t occur during the TV taping but rather was taped at a live event and used on television, just a heads up on that.
8.) Gibson takes Jack over with an arm drag at the start of the match. The match is taking place in Knoxville at the fairgrounds, apparently. Jack controls Gibson with a headlock for a few moments. Gibson gets out and Morton tags in and he drives Jack face first into the canvas. The match is clipped, it appears. Jack is met with a double elbow strike by the Express. Mustafa works over Morton with a test of strength. Jack is distracting the referee and the Express knock both Gangstas to the floor. Mustafa sends Morton over the top to the floor. Mustafa continues to work over Morton with strikes and knocks Gibson off the apron. Morton is choked in the corner by the challengers. Morton continues to be worked over by the Gangstas with falling head butts. Jack hits a clothesline to keep control on Morton. Mustafa works over Morton with strikes to the midsection and hits a back breaker. Mustafa hits a splash from the top rope but Morton kicks out at two.
Morton hip tosses Mustafa to get out of a bear hug but can’t keep the momentum. Jack misses a splash in the corner and Morton tag sin Gibson. Gibson cleans house on the challengers. Mustafa comes off the ropes and is met with a double dropkick. Jack enters with a nightstick and nails Gibson with it. Mustafa has the cover and pins Gibson to win the titles! Wait here comes Bob Armstrong to tell the referee what just happened. The referee asks the fans and the match is restarted. Morton has a rollup on New Jack and pins Jack to retain the titles. (NR. Since the match was clipped I can’t give a rating on it, but I thought it was a good idea to have the match aired here and the angle of the Gangstas getting shafted is just going to give them even more material in their promos moving forward. I’d think Bob Armstrong will be a focus for the Gangstas as well now.)
9.) SMW Tag Team Champions Rock N’ Roll Express thank Bob Armstrong for having their back. Armstrong says that the new commissioner asked him to watch the match to make sure everyone got a fair deal. Armstrong thinks they are the right winners.
A productive episode with the advancement of Gangstas/Express and the segment between White Boy and Bedlam was okay. Match wise the show continues to lack, but this episode at least had some good advancement to the top angles.
Thanks for reading.

Justin Bieber’s Mom Talks ‘Absentee’ Father Rumors, Sexual Abuse + Early Pregnancy
Justin Bieber's mother Pattie Mallette recently appeared on 'Ellen' and 'TODAY,' revealing that her ex/the Biebs' dad, Jeremy, has always been in the singer's life and that she was sexually abused at a young age. She spoke about her early pregnancy with Justin and how he's been her biggest blessing in life.
First on 'Ellen,' Mallette wanted to clear up the idea that Jeremy Bieber was an absentee dad. She said that her relationship with him was toxic, since they were teenagers and things were constantly "on again and off again" for them. But she revealed, "As we got older, we both grew. [Justin's] dad has been around since he was a baby. Some people think he came along when he became famous. That's not true. His dad has always been there. He's a good dad."
Ellen also probed Mallette about Justin's girlfriend, Selena Gomez, asking, "Do you adore her?," to which Mama Biebs was quick to reply, "How can you not like her? She is so sweet. She is good for him and they are great together."
Mallette, 37, also revealed that she is chaste, and that she signed a paper in which she vowed to remain celibate until she gets married. She even had someone witness the "contract" she signed for herself. She also admitted that she planned to wait until her son turned 18 to date again. Well, he's 18 now, so it's time to find Mama Bieber a man.
Later, Mallette appeared on the 'TODAY' show, where the discussion topics took a turn for the serious. In her new book, 'Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom,' Mallette talks about being sexually abused at a young age. She told Kathie Lee Gifford (via Huffington Post), "I've learned it's normal and natural for anybody who's been through sexual abuse to carry that shame and that blame and feel like there's something wrong with you. So I definitely carried that."
She then talked about getting pregnant with Justin at the age of 18, saying, "I just knew I couldn't [abort it]. I just knew I couldn't. I just know I had to keep him." She continued, "And, do the best. I -- you know, I didn't know how I was going to do it. But I just knew that I couldn't -- I couldn't abort. I had to do my best. I had to see what I could do. And I was determined to do whatever it took."
What a strong, inspiring woman. After we got a little teary-eyed listening to her story, we smiled after she said that Justin's crying actually sounded like singing when he was a baby! How crazy is that?!

Ten Thousand, a new fitness brand that aims to keep your workout gear refreshingly simple and functional, got off the ground. In this massively crowded space, there is a lot of noise, and frankly, a lot of crap. So when a company like Ten Thousand comes along to strip everything down to the basics, we're always stoked. As of now, there are only two products you can shop: a pair of workout shorts, and a shirt to go with 'em. Founders Keith Nowak and Eugenio Labadie say they started the brand because they were frustrated by constant turnover in styles that they found wasteful and confusing. The pair also believe that it's their simplicity that sets them apart. Which it just might, considering their product assortment of one shirt and one pair of shorts at the moment. But, you know, that's really all you need. (More layers are on the way, FYI.) In the grand tradition of companies born after 2014, Ten Thousand is pretty ethical. Each garment is created in partnership with 2Rewear, a company that recycles used athletic apparel to be turned into new clothing (don't worry, it gets washed). All in all, it's the minimalist answer to over-neoned, hyped, and played-out workout gear. If that's your thing—and we don't see why it wouldn't be—add 'em to your roster.

In the mid-18th century Lancaster was a prosperous port but this was threatened as ships grew in size making navigating up the River Lune difficult. Whilst the port at Liverpool in the south was flourishing, the future of the ports of Lancaster and Milnthorpe was in doubt. In an effort to re-invigorate trade, the merchants proposed building a canal which would start at Kendal and run almost due south through Lancaster, to Preston. Initially the scheme did not attract support in the town but eventually in 1770, a group determined to put Lancaster on the canal map won out and John Rennie was asked to survey the canal.
An act of Parliament was required and construction began in 1792. However, it took until 1826, through turbulent financial difficulties, until the south section from Walton Summit, 5 miles south of Preston to Wigan and the north section from Preston to Kendal was opened. The northern and southern sections were never linked by water, but rather by a tramway. In its heyday the waterway carried up to 460,000 tons of freight a year and it was known as the ‘Black and White Canal’ reflecting cargos of Kendal limestone and coal from Wigan.
Eventually through changing transportation requirement and technology, some sections of the canal were abandoned. In the 1960s the plans for the M6 motorway effectively split the canal in three sections north of Carnforth, thus denying access to this stretch of canal. This left only forty two of the original fifty seven miles north of Preston open to traffic.
However, there are long held views that the canal, an important part of our local history, culture and environment, should be preserved. This restoration work, co-ordinated by the Lancaster Canal Regeneration Partnership, is one of a number of important projects across the UK to restore the UK’s canal network which is gaining momentum.
The restoration is an ambitious multi-million pound project to re-open the most northerly 14 miles from Tewitfield to Canal Head in Kendal. The proposed scheme tackles three motorway and four trunk road crossings and includes the enhancement and conservation of 52 historically important and listed structures. There is also a programme of works on the ground and The Lancaster Canal Trust, with assistance from the Waterway Recovery Group and other volunteers have contributed to many canal-side locations, enhancing the environment and opening up social and leisure pursuits.
Come and experience the delights of the canal for yourself – the Lancaster Canal Trust are conducting a series of free boat trips (on a first come first served basis) throughout August and September on the Canal, and they extend an invitation to join the Trust’s narrowboat, Waterwitch, at Crooklands . See Lancaster’s Canal Trust’ Calendar of Events.
Alternatively, why not work up an appetite for your meal at Lancaster House by taking a leisurely stroll, joining the canal at Galgate, just minutes from the hotel.

Though able to defeat the largest collegiate academic scandals in American history, UNC was unable to defeat a team called Wofford on Wednesday night.
Wofford, most likely named by a guy who heard a dog bark, seemed to throw UNC in a dizzy even before the game started, foregoing warm-ups to instead sit on the bench and conduct a Socratic seminar on the role of higher education in the modern economic climate.
The move seemed to baffle some UNC players “who seemed to have never stepped foot inside a college classroom,” a source said.
“Our boys were stretching, getting loose in front of our home crowd, and one of Wofford’s guys was weighing the pros and cons of student loan debt to the rest of his teammates,” Williams said in a post-game press conference. “My guys were confused at being exposed to something not related to basketball, and it showed in our performance tonight.”
Wofford players said implementing a new strategy on the court helped in their win against the No. 5 Tar Heels.
“Coach [Mike Young] told us to try to intimidate our opponent tonight,” said Wofford junior guard, Fletcher Magee, who convinced the country that’s his real name. “So anytime a UNC player had the ball, we would get right up in their face and mumble something we learned in class during the week. They acted like they were in the classroom and just gave up right on the spot.”
Since UNC was absolved of any academic infractions in October, players have been free to “come up with whatever courses they like,” said an academic advisor at UNC. Popular courses among the team include, “Playing 2k18 in Joel’s Room,” as well as “Lacing Up High Tops 101.”
Yet, Williams believes that the classroom isn’t to blame for the Tar Heels’ loss on Wednesday.
“With a national championship last year, I was able to look past the years of staff and players who were functionally illiterate,” said UNC head coach, Roy Williams. “Boy, it was a goddamn tragedy when our guys couldn’t get past the first chapter of Huckleberry Finn, but you know what else is a tragedy? Our inability to switch from a zone defense to isolation. That’s the real tragedy here at UNC tonight.”

Exquisite's Darling tweezer is one of our most diverse tweezers. Very much like our Maven tweezer. The Darling is great for classic or volume techniques. Our Darling's fine and pointy tips serve well for artist who love to fan on the strip, allowing visual access to every single little lash. Her pointy tips are also a great advantage if she is used for isolating.

Political Maneuvers Over Gas Prices, Budget on Collision Course; Bin Laden's Death a Wildcard
By ELANA SCHOR of Greenwire
Published: May 2, 2011
The still-spiking price of gas is set to generate even more political heat on Capitol Hill this week, as members of both parties see an opening for their spending and budget messages in voters' fury over the punishing cost of a full tank.
More News From Greenwire
Neither the Republican push for more offshore drilling nor the Democratic bid to end oil company tax benefits is likely to ease the near-term squeeze of high gas prices. But President Obama's party is finding its footing on the issue after weeks of playing defense against GOP attacks on his energy agenda, juxtaposing a season of fat oil-industry profits against the fiscal austerity of the House Republican budget.
Obama's announcement late last night that American troops had killed Osama bin Laden could change the week's political dynamic and force the parties to hit pause on their planned partisan attacks. But bin Laden's death doesn't change the overall picture in the Middle East in the short term or the U.S. strategy there -- and until Obama's announcement, both Democrats and Republicans were going full-bore in their plans to score political points over gas prices and the deficit.
"Republicans in Congress voted on a budget that essentially eliminates Medicare and did so on the justification that we can't afford it ... [while] at the same time defending tax breaks for oil companies," said Seth Hanlon, director of fiscal reform at the liberal-leaning Center for American Progress.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) office reinforced that contrast in a Friday news release slamming the 2012 GOP budget as "the Republican plan to end Medicare as we know it in order to reward Big Oil with tax breaks." Obama later drew a subtler version of it in his weekend radio address: "When oil companies are making huge profits and you're struggling at the pump, and we're scouring the federal budget for spending we can afford to do without, these tax giveaways aren't right."
The twinning of the gas price and budget debates began in the House 17 days ago, when every Republican and 23 Democrats voted against an alternative blueprint that would have eliminated tax breaks for major oil companies before passing Budget Chairman Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) plan on a mostly party-line vote (E&ENews PM, April 15). The action is now poised to move to the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) aims to hold votes on both a rollback of the oil subsidies and the Ryan budget as soon as the upper chamber reaches accord on a long-pending small business bill.
Both of those votes -- which could happen this week or slip to the next -- risk illuminating as much Democratic disunity as Republican rifts. Seven senators in Obama's party voted against ending some of the targeted oil industry benefits in February, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is vowing to set up a vote of his own to gauge Democratic support for a White House 2012 budget that left some centrists cold.
Even if the Senate schedule prevents the oil tax breaks and Ryan budget from coming to a vote in the short term, the late-April drama that began joining the two debates is sure to provide further political fodder. Three senior Republicans suggested last week that the current tax treatment of the oil industry should be revisited, handing Democrats an unexpected cudgel to wallop the GOP for opposing the subsidies before the recess began.
Oil and gas companies were in the throes of a vigorous campaign to defend their benefits even before the comments made by Ryan, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.). That effort was borne out by Ryan and Cantor carving some distance between themselves and the industry, couching their support for ending energy tax benefits in terms of the broad rate-lowering and loophole-closing envisioned in the Wisconsinite's controversial budget.
"We need to go about broadening the tax code, getting rid of loopholes, special interest loopholes," Cantor told Fox News on Wednesday, depicting "the problem" at the root of the oil subsidy debate as the ability of "an individual industry ... to curry favor and get a preference in the tax code" E&ENews PM, April 27).
Democrats took both serious and satirical aim at GOP ties to oil companies during a week of flush first-quarter earnings reports by Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp. and others. Their apparent goal is nothing less than a circling of the wagons ahead of the 2012 election, achieved by convincing the public that rising oil costs are the fault of industry rather than Obama.
"As Americans continue to suffer under the weight of high gas prices, the political implications will be severe for whomever the public blames for their pain," the League of Conservation Voters senior vice president for campaigns, Navin Nayak, wrote in a Thursday memo. Nayak cited a March poll by the Democratic-aligned firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner that found "52 percent of Americans blame oil companies for high gas prices -- more than three times as many as blame the President."
Often lost in the shuffle, however, are acknowledgments that ending the oil-company benefits at issue would have little to no effect on gas prices set by a global market. White House spokesman Jay Carney echoed Obama last week in admitting that "no silver bullet" exists to ease near-term prices, while a February report (pdf) by Democratic staffers on the House Natural Resources Committee took a more candid view.

The tranquil harbour, verdant palm groves and excellent climate of Gran Canaria’s lively capital Las Palmas delighted Christopher Columbus when he discovered it on his famous voyage of 1492.
Those same attractions now draw modern travellers keen to explore the atmospheric cobbled streets and leafy courtyards of its old quarter, Vegueta. You can also enjoy nearby Playa del Ingles, the liveliest and best-known beach in the Canaries.
Just beyond Las Palmas you can explore the stunning desert scenery of Maspalomas, or tour further afield to explore peaceful old towns like Arucas – famed for its lush banana plantations - and Teror, with its fine collection of traditional houses with intricately carved wooden balconies.
Other must-sees include lovely Palmitos Nature Park - set in a canyon inland from Maspalomas and famous for its vivid tropical plants, birds and fish - and Bandama, an extinct volcano set 1,900 feet above sea level, which offers panoramic views over the island.

It’s been less frequent that I’ve posted here to my blog, and part of that has been to be true to God’s call on the believer’s life to be connected first and foremost in “the real world” so-to-speak, to be genuinely engaged where God has placed us in-person. Life has been full and I’ve been humbled in various ways by my need for God to overhaul how I view people, finances, spiritual disciplines, and friendships.
“One day at a time” is a constant response I’ll give for myself or for anyone who can’t answer the daily question we like to ask each other of, “How are you holding up today?” Today I am refreshed by yet another reminder of God’s awesome nearness to me as one of His children, one of Christ’s humble followers. I soaked in Romans chapter five and rolled around in my head and heart the beauty of Paul’s statements about being made right with God in Christ as the bedrock of all the rest of the grace that God gives us…
“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”
“… since we have been justified (made right) by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Peace… Isn’t that the ground on which we stand for any true sense of closeness to anyone? Can you even begin to imagine how awesome it is that we have FRIENDSHIP, NEARNESS, PEACE available to us when it comes to having a relationship with the God of Heaven, the God Who created us all, the God Who made Himself nothing, taking on our sinful human form that He might die to make us eternal heirs of Heaven’s kingdom, eternal children of the living God, united with Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace Himself, that we might enter the eternal romance so-to-speak of the Triune God’s perfect fellowship! We think of romance today as the confusing romance novel of ever evasive hopes for love that never seems to satisfy. What about the kind of romance we see in Romans chapter five?! As I read through this, it all seems too good to be true! That’s what this world defines as romance (see the google search results below).
a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love. “in search of romance”
a quality or feeling of mystery, excitement, and remoteness from everyday life.
Biblically, according to Romans chapter five, this peace given to us through a simple and pure faith in Jesus’ death for us is the launching point for so much awe and wonder and unimaginable nearness of relationship to the eternal God of love, holiness, and glory!
Our eternal friendship with God and hostility toward the temptations and sins we encounter in the remainder of our early lives, these become our daily conversation in the mind and heart. The more we foster this awesome relationship with the living God through he means shared with us in Romans chapter five, the more our attraction to God, wonder in His presence, and joyous obedience to His requirements of us develops. The more we celebrate this relationship, the more God gives us hope for victory over temptation and sin. Friendship with the world, with sin, and with the temptations screaming for our attention, is obviously friendship with God’s enemies! Why would we cultivate these friendships when they simply do not satisfy? Even our friendship with God in this life is imperfect (on our end). We drop the line, we could say, on our conversation with God consistently. Our receptivity to His favor on our lives is so weak and unimpressive.
God, however, the One Who gets all the glory for our this divine friendship goes through the years of this life and endless eternity of our FOREVER FRIENDSHIP WITH HIM… This God makes no mistakes, dear friends. We can rest in Him and trust His investments into our eternal relatings with Him.
Two brief encouragements:
1) Soak in the book of Romans in the New Testament for a reminder of God’s initiating grace in this divine friendship with God and hostility toward all that is evil and anti-God.
2) Remember God’s use of friendship with God’s other children.
This second point is how I’ll close out this post. We must remember God’s kindness in giving other followers of Jesus to us as siblings (whether we enjoy them at all times or not) and for Him giving us to our other siblings (whether they enjoy us at all times or not).
It is very easy to neglect other believers and not realize why we are doing it. Neglect of the healthy practice of biblical friendship I’m convinced is one of the leading ways Satan and his goons (all being powerful fallen angels, I’ll remind us) love to get some influence on believers, influencing us to not only doubt God (our daily chief root sin) but to act on that doubt and discolor non-believers’ and believers’ view of the Gospel of Christ. Satan revels in our ignorance of one another and one another’s concerns.
May we as believers look out for each other. We are eternal family members after-all. As we look out for each other and lift each other up in prayer and genuine acts of love and friendship, may we together, as a united front, share the Gospel of Christ with our lives in every way possible, drawing the lost to be found in the awesome Person and Work of God in Jesus Christ, that they might know of the true WONDER OF CHRIST’S DEATH FOR US ON THE CROSS!
This death brings life and changes everything from being an eternal death to being an ETERNAL LIFE! This life is dirty and full of the fall of humanity showing up all over believers and unbelievers, and yet God, in His favor, gives both believers and unbelievers opportunities to obey God in this life. It’s pretty amazing when you see genuine obedience ENJOYED, especially when it’s not to earn salvation but rather in gratitude to God for Him giving us any form of any life at all. I have good friends who are not professing faith in Christ who remind me routinely that gratitude to God is hugely important in this life. My one longing hope for these dear friends is that they would consider the hope that every humbled follower of Jesus has for ETERNAL LIFE!
May we go and cultivate genuine and lasting friendships, honest and gratitude-filled friendships in this life. Through these friendships with believers and unbelievers, God intends to introduce the love of God in Jesus to His children and soon-to-be children.
God is not nervous about how we will handle today, friends. May we lay out our full weight upon His grace. May we stand in this GRACE, and take one step at a time in joyful obedience to His simple calling on our lives to introduce each other and the lost daily to the unearned FAVOR OF GOD because of the death of Christ for us all, all who simply TRUST CHRIST!
Much love in the Lord,
P.S. The photo used for this post was taken while my son and I were fishing on Lake Yosemite here in the relatively little town of Merced (I like to call her “Mercy”) in Central California. God’s favor is all over this little town called Mercy. The sky keeps my eyes lifted to Heaven in prayer for my new town of primary calling. I pray for God’s favor most importantly in the area of the Gospel of Christ being known and humbly responded to, but I also pray for the protection of the poor, weak, broken, lonely, despised, forgotten… And, I seek to find ways to touch their lives myself along with my neighbors. God sees their plight and doesn’t forget them, so why would we? After all, morally, we are all in a far worse plight than we realize apart from God’s grace given to us in the death of Jesus for us all who believe, right?!

“Risky Business: The Economic Risks of Climate Change to the United States,” a report on climate change and how it will affect businesses, offers a variety of information on how a changing world will impact businesses and gross domestic product.
The report was issued this week, and is part of the Risky Business Project, chaired by the likes of former New York Michael Bloomberg and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
Frank Nutter, CEO of the Reinsurance Association of America, and several people involved with developing the report, discussed the implications of the findings on Thursday during a conference call hosted by the nonprofit group Business Forward.
The report covers several impacts that will affect businesses and the entire U.S. bottom line.h
“The U.S. faces significant and diverse economic risks from climate change,” the report states. “The signature effects of human-induced climate change—rising seas, increased damage from storm surge, more frequent bouts of extreme heat—all have specific, measurable impacts on our nation’s current assets and ongoing economic activity.”
The report focuses on risks such as: Damage to coastal property and infrastructure from rising sea levels and increased storm surge, climate-driven changes in agricultural production and energy demand, and the impact of higher temperatures on labor productivity and public health.
“Our findings show that, if we continue on our current path, many regions of the U.S. face the prospect of serious economic effects from climate change,” the report states. “However, if we choose a different path—if we act aggressively to both adapt to the changing climate and to mitigate future impacts by reducing carbon emissions—we can significantly reduce our exposure to the worst economic risks from climate change, and also demonstrate global leadership on climate.
According to the report, by 2050 $66 billion to $106 billion in existing coastal property will likely be below sea level nationwide, with $238 billion to $507 billion worth of property below sea level by 2100.
The report covers many of the usual topics that have gotten plenty of play in a recent string of climate change reports that have come out lately, but it focuses heavily on economic loss.
By the middle of this century, the average American will likely see between 27 to 50 days over 95°F each year—that’s at least twice average annual number of 95°F days we’ve seen over the past 30 years, according to the report.
Because of that increased heat the labor productivity of outdoor workers, like those in construction, utility maintenance, landscaping, and agriculture, could be reduced by as much as 3 percent, particularly in the Southeast, the report states.
“This is an effect that turns out to be one of the most noticeable effects if you look at for the nation as a whole,” said Bob Kopp, lead researcher on the report.
He added that a reduction the output in the agriculture labor sector, for example, “can end up giving you a GDP change that’s on the order of 1 percent.”
That heat is bad for the crops themselves as well, according to the report.
“As extreme heat spreads across the middle of the country by the end of the century, some states in the Southeast, lower Great Plains, and Midwest risk up to a 50 percent to 70 percent loss in average annual crop yields (corn, soy, cotton, and wheat), absent agricultural adaptation,” the report states.
The Reinsurance Association’s Nutter said the insurance industry is already feeling tension between the need to raise rates to reflect greater risk and the desire of consumers to have affordable insurance.
Nutter pointed to more than 200 catastrophic events in the U.S. in 2009 and 2010, and more than 150 catastrophes in each of succeeding years, and said things could get worse considering more properties continue to be built in areas where sea level rise is a major threat.
The insured value for coastal exposure properties in the U.S. $10.6 trillion, Nutter said, adding “16 of the most the expensive catastrophes have all occurred in the last decade.”
“We have seen lots of distress in insurance markets in coastal areas,” he said.
The report’s authors call on the American business community to “rise to the challenge and lead the way in helping reduce climate risks.”
“We hope the Risky Business Project will facilitate this action by providing critical information about how climate change may affect key sectors and regions of our national economy. This is only a first step, but it’s a step toward getting America on a new path leading to a more secure, more certain economic future.”

A bland ensemble drama with an unremarkable script that somehow inspired actress Mary Stuart Masterson to make her feature-directing debut. The material doesn't serve her well -- and vice versa.
Read Full Review
There's no kind of wonderful in Mary Stuart Masterson's directorial debut, yet however slight her ensemble drama--about two distressed families in the Rockwellian framings of time-forgotten rural America--maybe, it's at least convincing in its genuine sweetness.
Superior acting elevates a small, overcrowded ensemble piece set in rural upstate New York into something a little deeper and truer than the mawkish disease-of-the-week movie it threatens to become.
The story is certainly predictable, but it contains just enough conflict and drama to engage the viewer.
A vibrant, unpretentious small-town tale.
Masterson, like many actors, is an assured director even in her debut; working with her brother Pete as cinematographer, she creates a spell and a tenderness and pushes exactly as far as this story should go.
In her first feature film, Masterson creates a slice of life that is very believable (especially if you've ever seen "The Jerry Springer Show") and often endearing.

This is going to be a little weird. It's International Comment Leaving Week, which is where a bunch of bloggers leave comments for each other the last week of every month. Most of the topics on these blogs involve something to do with infertility, but there are various topics. So, I signed up to get more readers and to offer a fresh perspective on the whole thing, because, let's face it, I'm pretty unique.
So, not only can my 653 Facebook "friends" read this posted as a note, but also my IRL friends and new readers finding me through ICLW. How to tell this story to all these audiences and maintain a decent level of privacy and not make people uncomfortable around me..... Let's see.
I'm a 32-year-old Jesus-loving Air Force Reservist. I've been married to my wonderful John for 4.5 years and we've been TTC (trying to conceive) for 3 of them. I don't have a dramatic story as far as that is concerned. In May 08 we both went through IF (infertility) screening and my ob/gyn indicated there was something a little off in both of us, but that we'd need more testing which our insurance doesn't cover. So we went through one round of Clomid (a popular fertility drug) with no result, and haven't felt led to do anything else medically yet. Then, in Nov 09, after a few other dr's appointments we found out that there's nothing wrong with either of us, and sometimes these things just don't happen (or they do. whatever.).
You can read more about how we feel about the waiting process here.
Meanwhile, in Dec 08, we decided to pursue foster care as a way to "give out of our need" and help other families while we waited for our own. We started the classes in Jan 09 and after procrastinating getting our paperwork turned in, our homestudy was approved Aug 09. I blogged about this here.
Bringing us all up to speed, we got our first placement on Feb 4, and you can read about the lovely Baby F and her mom here, here, and here, then she's mentioned in pretty much every other blog since.
There's alot more to me than IF and foster care, but that's probably what brought most ICLW readers over, so I'll be blogging about Baby F and the foster care process for the rest of this week. I hope to keep it interesting enough to keep you coming back.
PS: I call her Baby F online because she is not our baby and it's not my call to make to put her name with her pictures. I know some parents who refer to their own children that way and I think it's a great idea. She does have a lovely name that starts with F that means happiness or good fortune, so you can figure it out if you want!

Party atmosphere at Toss Bryan's 60th anniversary bash
Management and staff at Toss Bryan's in Fermoy marked their 60th anniversary last Saturday with a party that attracted upwards of 4,000 people.
Not an organization to do things by half, the public were treated to a barbecue, all day bouncy castle, face painting, stilt walkers, a DJ (Ian O'Brien) and a guest appearance from the Dulux dog. This very well organized 'all in' package was laid on free of charge.
A runaway success from a public relations perspective, the party was an opportunity for Tom and Lourde to give something back to customers who've helped sustain their business for the last 6 decades. The man whose name has become synonymous with the ever-growing store, Toss Bryan, was also present to lend his support, as well as unveil a very attractive portrait of himself and his late wife, Kitty (specially commissioned by local artist, Maria Dowling). Now in his 86th year, Toss is understandably proud of how the business he set up all those years ago has evolved into the thriving retail hub it is today.
Tom is as 'hands on' as his father was, and this, allied to the first class service customers receive, has ensured the store is more than holding its own an ultra competitive market. Never one to stand still, Tom is always in pursuit of the next sale and a variety of promotions and special offers helps keep patrons coming through the doors. As the person who oversees the company's recruitment policy, Tom can take credit for assembling a team of dedicated professionals who always give 100% - motivated and enthusiastic they've been critical to the store's ongoing success.
Multi national competition, pressure on customers' budgets and the rise of on-line shopping are all challenges that are being met head on by a business that has strong personal ties with the town and surrounding areas. Drawing on the experience of those who've gone before them, Tom Bryan as his workforce are plotting a course that will keep them at the centre of commercial activity in Fermoy for many years to come.
