BREWSTER, NY—With family and friends gathering for the holidays, and flu activity on the rise, the Putnam County Department of Health (PCDOH) is hosting its “last chance” public flu vaccination clinic on Tuesday, December 5, during National Influenza Vaccination Week. The clinic will be held at the main health department office at 1 Geneva Road in Brewster, from 2 to 6:30 p.m. No appointments are necessary. National Influenza Vaccination Week, which runs from December 3 to 9, focuses on the importance of flu vaccination.
“The health department has been busy this year protecting our residents by providing their annual flu shots,” said County Executive MaryEllen Odell. So far this flu season more than 3318 flu vaccinations have been given by the PCDOH; 2336 of these were administered in the schools.
“If you have not yet received your flu shot, now is the time to get it,” states Interim Health Commissioner Michael J. Nesheiwat, M.D. “It takes about two weeks after receiving the vaccination for the immune system to build the antibodies your body needs in order to protect against the flu. Flu activity in New York is usually highest between December and February, but illnesses often linger into spring. ”
Any Putnam County resident, 18 years and older, is eligible to receive a flu vaccine at the clinic. The fee is $25 to cover the cost of the vaccine, plus administering it. There is no fee for those over age 65 or anyone with a Medicare card. High-dose flu vaccine will be available for individuals, 65 years and older, which studies have shown appears more effective in fighting flu in seniors. The nasal spray flu vaccine and pneumonia vaccine will not be available at this clinic.
The more individuals who get vaccinated, the better the protection for everyone, including older people, very young children, pregnant women and individuals with certain health conditions who are more vulnerable to serious flu complications. For questions concerning flu vaccination, please call the Health Department at (845) 808-1390. If the weather is bad, use the same number to check for a possible cancellation.
The mission of the Putnam County Department of Health, nationally accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), is to improve and protect the health of the Putnam County community, composed of nearly 100,000 residents. Core services include community health assessment, disease surveillance and control, emergency preparedness, environmental health protection, family health promotion and health education. For more information, please visit our County website at www.putnamcountyny.com ; or visit our social media sites on Facebook at www.facebook.com/putnamhealth and Twitter @PutnamHealthNY.

Why shrink PDF files?
You may wonder why you would need to shrink PDF files, if you have enough disk space on your computer to store the files, and the documents contain information that you do not want to lose. For some users, this might not in fact be necessary, but others may run into difficulties when trying to print the files, share them via email, or upload them to a website.In these cases, PDF compression is a necessary option.
Complications with shrinking files
While file compression is often inevitable, it can sometimes create complications. For example, if you use JPEG compression, you may notice that the quality of the compressed file is significantly lower than the quality of the original file. For this reason, it is important to use an appropriate file format, such as PDF, which supports lossless compression algorithms.
How to shrink PDF file size efficiently
In order to shrink the size of PDF files while preserving image quality, you need to use PDF compression software. Compression software such as PdfCompressor from CVISION allows you to achieve dramatic reductions in file size, without any information loss. To try PdfCompressor for free, download the free trial version and experience the convenience of having compression software available at your fingertips.

Is It Possible to Construct Derivatives for the Paris Residential Market?
AbstractIn this paper we address the issue of the robustness of the price level, mean, and variance estimates for two sets of repeat sales real estate price indices: the classical WRS method and a PCA factorial method, as elaborated in Baroni, Barthélémy and Mokrane (2007). We use an extensive repeat sales database for the Paris (France) residential market to compute the parameters of the indices produced over the period 1982-2005. The aim here is to test the sensitivity of these two indices to revision due to additional repeat-sales transactions information. Our main conclusion is that the revision problem may cause serious concern for the stability of key parameters that are used as inputs in the pricing of derivatives contracts. The impact of index revision is important on the estimate of the index price level. We also find that although the revision impact on the trend estimate can be important: the WRS method seems more robust and derivatives contracts such as swaps may be based on such indices. Finally, the revision influence on volatility estimates seems to be less stringent, and according to the robustness of the volatility estimate, the BBM factorial index seems to fare relatively better than the WRS index. Hence, we find that the factorial index could better sustain volatility based derivatives such as call or put options.

Serious-minded webmasters at the University of Florida have removed a disaster recovery relief scenario from school websites. Apparently, like most managers, they can only predict what has already happened. In related news, Florida is full of mottled-skinned monsters, moaning about blue plate specials.

Romantic yearnings for submission to immortal, evil aristocrats done not make those myths supreme. This writer seems to think that zombies, because they aren't as dashing as vampires, are a lesser myth. Zombies are the right myth for our time because they elucidate the banality of our destruction and our experience of the objective world. The world doesn't care if you're a romantic, it's still going to eat your brain. However, I do love the term, 'zombastic.'

This post is in reaction to a review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. This writer describes Jane Austin's work as 'timeless' and 'serious' and, by contrast to the attitude of zombie enthusiasts, implies that it is sacred. In my opinion the only thing timeless about Jane Austin is the experience of reading her - the books never seem to end, nothing changes, nothing important happens. Zombies disrupt the limbo of the drawing room and take lovers of serious literature straight to hell. The rest of us enjoy a better story (for my money, the best way to improve on comedies of manners is not to read them. When I hear the name 'Merchant and Ivory,' I want to shoot an elephant.) Instead of bemoaning the introduction of the undead into the timeless, someone might want to ask why this was done and why zombies are so popular now.
Zombie stories, according to the writer of the review, are a 'fad.' I agree that zombies are quite fashionable these days, but there is more than caprice behind the rise of the zombie. Aren't Darcy and Bennett already zombies, milling about drawing rooms, moaning about manners? It's their worldview that's being killed in the rewrite to Pride and Prejudice.
Manners mean little when monsters are at the door, which they seem to be with increasing frequency these days. Anecdotally, more people have spoken to me about the satire of Austin, which came out in 2009, than about Austin's work, which was sealed, safe in it's drawing room, long before my birth. The world for which Austin's social criticisms were apt has long been in the crypt. Austin fans should be happy for it's reanimation. Before the rise of the zombies, critics were already calling for someone to let a little air into Austin's stuffy rooms. Now a fiend has burst through the wall.

This YouTube video highlights research in which a parasitic worm uses genetic manipulation to zombify and control its host. Neurologically, zombies exist. A zombie is one in a mental or neurological state who is not in control of his or her mental/neurological functions as he or she should be. Zombification can make you, proven by the infected cricket in the video, kill yourself.
You Are Your Brain's Zombie
If you hold your breath until you pass out, you are in control. Once you pass out, your brain takes over and breathing resumes. That 'you' you cannot control; your nonconscious/nonvolitionary brain is more primary than conscious you.
My Zombie, Myself
How can you tell if you're a zombie? Ultimately, you can't. William James wrote that the question of free will vs. determinism didn't make sense because we have to act as if our wills are free. So it is with zombiedom.
A little zombiedom shouldn't matter because you always find yourself in the middle of life, which no one has total control over. You don't think yourself up from nothing. The idea of being a zombie is only rigor-mortifying to those who are slaves to their moral/ethical 'certainties.'
What you can do to be less of a zombie is to have an active mind and question things. The cricket in the video can't ask itself if jumping in the pool is a suicidally stupid thing to do, but your mother may have asked you if Mr. Bad Influence jumped off a bridge, would you do it too. She was asking you to think, not to blindly obey or be influenced. If something has control of your brain, you have no choice. This is true of your own brain controlling your conscious mind, but it isn't true of all your beliefs/thoughts/decisions/actions.
It is, in part, up to you. Are you going to have an active mind or are you going to be a docile body?
I want to give a shout out to all my zombie marshmallow peeps. They're so cute, even if undead. I hear the confections consortium is rebranding from Just Born to Unholy Child of Satan. By the by, the article is worth reading.

Every Austin culinary arts student needs to have the right cookware to get the job done. The quality of the cookware can have an effect on the finished dish. While it is always a good idea to get the highest quality cookware available, it isn’t always affordable – especially for students. Students taking Austin culinary arts courses often purchase cookware for their homes. While copper cookware tends to be at the top of many culinary students’ wish lists, it might be a purchase that should be put off until after graduation when they’ll be pulling in a bigger paycheck.
Heat conductivity and why it’s important
Different metals conduct heat in different ways. If the dish is to come out evenly cooked, it’s important that the pan be able to conduct heat evenly. While most materials such as steel, aluminum and cast iron do an OK job of distributing heat across the surface of the pan or pot, the best metal for even heat distribution is copper. Of those options, cast iron is the least efficient when it comes to heat distribution.
The cost of copper
Copper cookware is very expensive. Single pots generally cost a minimum of $100, and the price of sets of copper cookware can easily be in the thousands. While copper pots and pans are extremely expensive, and most likely out of the price range of an Austin culinary arts student, they last much longer than other pots and pans if cared for properly.
Copper cookware linings
As good as copper cookware is, it can leach copper into the food, and too much copper is toxic. To combat the fears associated with copper absorption, copper pots and pans are often made with either a stainless steel liner or a tin liner. The liner is a very thin layer of metal between the copper and the food being cooked. This allows for the heat conductivity advantages of copper without the potential toxicity of the copper.
Is it worth the money?
Saying whether copper cookware is worth it depends on three things: Is the money available? Will the cookware be well taken care of? Do the dishes require high-quality cookware? Because Austin culinary arts students are often cooking complex dishes in class and outside of class, buying copper cookware might be a good idea, but they should be sure to answer these questions before fully committing.

Dude, where’s my summer?
Remember when summer used to last forever? September was so far away it was never going to happen. Of course that was back in the days before kids and a mortgage and all those other grown up responsibilities.
This summer has already come and gone, and it feels like it never even started.
Or was I just too busy to notice?
Life’s greatest joys are usually found in the details. It’s the little things we notice when we actually take the time to notice them. Fully immersed in the present moment. But with the pace of life these days, who has time for details?
There’s always some place we’re trying to get to. There’s always something else to be done. Life sometimes feels like an all-you-can-eat buffet. You know, far too much on the plate and even more waiting to be piled on. You’re thinking about the fried chicken as you’re eating the meatloaf. Eating without tasting.
It would be easy to blame my schedule for my inability to enjoy my now-departed summer. Being too busy is a wonderful excuse. I’m not looking for someone or something to blame. But if I don’t make the time for the details in my life don’t I run the risk of missing my entire life in the process?
Living. Without living.
Some people visit amusement parks with the expressed goal of riding every ride in the park. The all-you-can-eat buffet strategy, where you’re thinking about the roller coaster as you’re sitting on the ferris wheel. Sacrificing the intimate details of the present moment as you focus one eye on what’s next on the list.
Isn’t it better to simply enjoy the view from the ferris wheel?
Cramming stuff on our plate sounds like a great way to get our money’s worth, be it at a buffet or theme park. But is that the ideal way to live a life?
We are all busy supporting the infrastructure of our lives. All in the name of our own happiness and contentment. But the joy and happiness that we all seek already surrounds us. It’s already within us. We just have to take the time to see it.
It’s all in the details.
Don’t miss your own life trying to find what you already have.
It’s a great day to be you!

Ramadan is back giving us a precious opportunity to get closer to God and shape up our souls. While time flies too fast, Muslims should get into Ramadan mode as fast as they can and grab the most possible blessings of the holy month:
Here are some tips to make your Ramadan different:
1- Be pure and sincere:
If you ask yourself about the essence of any deeds youíll find that only sincere intention makes them acceptable. Purify your heart and seek nothing, but Godís pleasure in all worship acts.
2- Have a healthy lifestyle:
Make Ramadan an opportunity to detox your body through reducing caffeine and smoking intakes, if you are a smoker. Start with a carbohydrate Sahur, the pre-dawn meal, to keep your body energized through the day. For Iftar, evening meal where Muslims break their fasting, make sure to replenish energy levels through having the major food groups within the meal. However, avoid excessive eating. Follow the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad and break your fast with dates. It was proven that dates are easily digested and rich with sugar.
3- Plan ahead:
Take time now to think of what you want to achieve by the end of this month. Set goals and write down a plan with simple steps on how you will be fulfilling them. Remember, you canít measure yourself without tracking the progress made along the way. Some may have to tweak their ordinary lifestyle in order to achieve the goals. Besides, make a long dua list; Ramadan is the month of gifts and accepted prayers.
4- Control your mood:
With long fasting hours and hot sun you may feel nervous. Try to manage your anger, avoid talking when you feel high-strung, sleep well, and keep doing dhikr, remembrance of God through your tongue and heart as well. Keep smiling and donít let others think that Ramadan equals unhappiness.
5- Give without expecting:
Live the true spirit of Ramadan through spreading love and giving. Feed needy people and build empathy for them. Bring happiness to others, and maintain the bonds of kinship as obliged by God.
6- Have supportive companions:
A good companion will keep you accountable on your journey and hold your hand to correct mistakes.
7- Treat it as it is your last Ramadan:
You canít assure it is not your last Ramadan, can you?
Feel like it is the final time you will be able to fast, to pray Tarawih and to complete Quran reading.
Make it the best Ramadan of the past ďRamadansĒ. Donít forget to ask Almighty to help you reclaim your heart and maintain the good habits after the holy month ends.

“Can I have horses?” “Where can we put a data center?” “Is this property for sale?” These are just a few of the types of questions answered by Scot E. Ferris and his group on the 2nd floor of the Loudoun County Government Center. The Building and Development Customer Service Team should be the first stop for Loudoun entrepreneurs planning to do anything related to buildings or property use.
“We give business owners information about regulatory procedures they might not be aware of,” Ferris explains. “We get them information about processes, zoning, fees, and other entities they may have to deal with,” he says.
He stresses that entrepreneurs must do their “due diligence” as early as possible. A common mistake business owners make is in buying or leasing a property before finding out if there’s a use restriction.
“Make sure you do all your homework with your real estate agent and zoning office. Find out what business licenses you’ll need. There are lots of externalities you may not know about,” Ferris advises.
Unfortunately, sometimes business owners don’t know they should have contacted Ferris’ team before they made significant investments. He tells the story of a woman who bought 100 acres to use for special events and weddings. She didn’t realize an open-space easement prohibited such use.
“I’ve made a few people cry,” Ferris admits. He goes on to say, “Most of the tears could have been avoided with a little research.”
Most people are thrilled with the service they receive from his team. Loudoun County is unique in that the Building and Development Customer Service Team is made up of planners who rotate working at the customer service counter. When business owners walk in or call the hotline, they get assistance from professionals.
“We’ll go above and beyond in trying to take care of people,” Ferris says. “We take it really seriously. If we have to refer someone to a different department, we call them back to follow-up and make sure they got what they needed.”
Ferris’ team handles more than 8,000 walk-ins each year, in addition to about 3,000 hotline calls. When asked for feedback about the service received, customers write comments on response cards such as, “Unbelievably helpful!”
To make sure you’re on the right track with your building and development plans, leave a detailed message on the Building and Development hotline at 703-777-0118. Your call will be logged into a special computer application, and a live customer service representative will return your call within one business day.

I have the following task, and I need some help getting started: Write a 1,400 - 1,750 word essay that addresses creating and managing an effective team. Be sure to include proper citations and APA style references for all sources. Conduct research to find and include content that support your conclusions. (For example, you may state that your team was effective. Research what makes a team effective.)
In order to build, create and manage an effective team, let us first identify the obstacles or hurdles in building such teams.
One of the major hurdles is weak sense of direction. Nothing undermines enthusiasm for teams as quickly as the frustration of being an involuntary member of a team with no focus. This can happen when members aren't sure of their purpose, goals, and approach or the leadership itself is weak.
Infighting or personal conflicts is another major hurdle for effective team building. From time to time, it's inevitable that personal issues will get in the way of teamwork. This must be addressed and dealt with immediately. While team Effective teams don't have to be made up of people who like each other but there must be respect for each other. Team members must be willing to set aside petty differences.
Another major hurdle occurs when team members avoid taking responsibility for both process or running of a group and for specific assignments a team becomes a "pseudo team"; team in name but consistently underperforming. Sometimes, only a few carry team's workload. The problem with this scenario is that no one or two people can carry the entire team's workload for long. Sooner or later, the shining stars will get a clue about what's going on and will stop killing themselves to get the work done -- the entire team will go down as a result.
Lack of trust among team members also affect the performance of the team. Further, skill gaps also causes many problems. When skills are lacking, teams flounder, members have trouble communicating with each other, destructive conflicts result, decisions aren't made, and technical problems overcome the group.
Another major hurdle ...
Buidling and creating an effective team

Stanislav DEVÁTÝ (*1952)
- Read the story (PDF, 0 kB)
A man without fear
They say he knew no fear. He was practically the only dissident brave enough to go on the run in the late 1980s, fleeing from arrest into neighbouring Poland. “It wasn’t certain when I’d return. Naturally we expected that it would come out. When we went to Poland I said when we were saying goodbye at the border that we’d come back in two months. And that’s how it worked out, almost to the day,” says Devátý, recalling his dramatic flight from conviction, which took place on 17 September 1989.
But that was just the closing act of his resistance to the totalitarian regime. Stanislav Devátý, who was from Zlín, had many years of persecution, arrests and hunger strikes behind him. He had also been a signatory and spokesperson of Charter 77. He was repeatedly placed in custody. He was also a member of the Committee for the Defence of the Unjustly Persecuted. “When I think back, perhaps the worst thing was when I began a method of passive resistance. At that time I wrote a protest letter to President Gustáv Husák. Secret police officers were monitoring me and expected that I would go to a restaurant in Zlín, that I’d drink. But I didn’t drink. It was some time in 1983. A birthday party was taking place in the restaurant and they came for me. They arrived around midnight. It was a better restaurant – even foreigners used to go there. They came for me. They wanted me to go with them. But I lay on the ground! So they pulled me out by all four limbs, by my arms, by the hair. Then they beat me and I fainted for the first time. That was probably the worst. It was tough. Employing that method the first time just wasn’t easy. But after that I didn’t care any more,” says Devátý of his style of resistance to totalitarian violence.
It was after the revolution when Stanislav Devátý returned from Poland to Czechoslovakia. He became a member of parliament before later serving as director of the Security Information Service (BIS) and after that becoming a lawyer.
Stanislav Devátý was born in 1952 in Zlín. He attended a vocational school focused on electrical engineering and worked as a technician at various companies. But even as a boy he had taken notice of what was going on. In August 1968 in particular he was deeply affected by the Soviet occupation. “I was then on a hop-picking brigade by the German border and the whole thing drove right past us. Various petitions were signed against the occupation, too. It was then that a decision was born within me that led me to the other side. Imagine: They’re forever telling you how wonderful it is, how we have friends, and then all of a sudden those best friends are in your garden with tanks. Perhaps that’s the very reason I didn’t want to resign myself to the occupation,” he says. Devátý was then 16. He got a further shock a year later when on the first anniversary of the occupation he witnessed the suppression of demonstrations. All resistance was collapsing and people were succumbing to defeat. From then on, people would do their best to live according to what the circumstances allowed.
Stanislav Devátý too tried to live independently of the totalitarian regime, which exerted total control. Like some other young people, he did his best to be independent. If possible. “We had long hair and went to rock concerts,” he says. But he also attempted to do things that could expedite the end of the regime.
He went through a number of jobs and for a while worked at the collective farm JZD Slušovice, an unusual enterprise that managed to function at least to some degree in Czechoslovakia’s collapsing economy. It created the illusion of being exceptional.
In the meantime Devátý had become a Charter 77 signatory, set up a Friends of the USA Club in Zlín and circulated independent information. He became a member of the Committee for the Defence of the Unjustly Persecuted. All the while he attracted the interest of the secret police, who devoted constant attention to him.
And Devátý took them on with passive resistance. When they came to arrest him he lay on the ground, grabbed a table leg or chair, shouted and attracted attention. He was unafraid to implement passive resistance. He later explained that Gandhi’s approach in India had appealed to him, though he also took advantage of his burly figure. He weighed 113 kilogrammes and it wasn’t easy to drag him out of a room and even harder to load him into a car and take him off to the station. And Devátý discovered that his approach attracted interest, which the StB were very keen to avoid. Naturally, the great majority of people were at that time not brave enough to confront the secret police in any way, so logically Devátý was forced to attract attention. People’s attention was piqued by the commotion. They were shocked. Repression did of course continue during normalisation, although secretly – and Devátý upset that rule. He was aware that the regime in those days could not be as harsh as it had been. If he had behaved like that in the 1950s nobody would have treated him with kid gloves.
In 1988 Devátý became a Charter spokesperson. That involved working on Charter documents, recording police harassment and writing position papers. As soon as he took on that function he was thrown out of JZD Agrokombinát Slušovice. He worked there as an electrical engineer in the computers department. In those days it was common for the secret police to order the sacking of inconvenient persons and few had the courage to defend themselves. Stanislav Devátý immediately sued JZD Slušovice over his dismissal. And won.
In January 1989 people in Czechoslovakia commemorated the anniversary of the self-immolation of Jan Palach. Naturally the totalitarian regime did all it could to prevent this. Všetaty in the Mělník area, where Palach was from and where he was buried, was tightly patrolled and the cemetery was literally surrounded by StB officers. But Devátý succeeded in getting through the cordon and placed a crown of thorns on Palach’s tomb.
Nevertheless at the start of 1989 he ended up in custody. He responded with a hunger strike and for a period his health deteriorated sharply. Then things got even worse. In August 1989 he was sentenced to 20 months in prison for sedition. But he never showed up for his appeal hearing. On 17 September 1989 he went on the run and crossed the border into Poland.
He had a backpack and was accompanied to the frontier by friends from Zlín. “We walked for several kilometres, uphill. But on the Polish side it wasn’t that far to the road. There Polish friends were waiting for us. But we hadn’t chosen a good time. In those days the Poles guarded the border and the border police wanted to stop our car. But our friends simply sped off and let me out a bit further on. It was a chase like out of a gangster movie. After two days I finally got to Wroclaw.”
However, he didn’t know how long he would have to remain in Poland. He sensed that the regime would fall but he didn’t know when. Things were changing in Czechoslovakia, but slowly. “After about a month I started getting nervous. At that time I had no idea that 17 November was coming. We knew something was planned for 10 December, which was Human Rights Day,” says Devátý.
But the regime fell in November. It collapsed quickly and Czechoslovakia was free. Just to be certain, Devátý didn’t return to his homeland until December. By then it was clear the changes were irreversible. Democracy had won. Devátý became a parliamentary deputy and later director of the intelligence agency the Security Information Service. He subsequently became a lawyer.
He feels strongly that nothing he did prior to November 1989 was unnecessary. “It certainly wasn’t needless bravado. The opposite. It was 100 percent necessary. Today it may seem to us that our contemporary society has major problems. But that can’t be compared to what was before. The opportunities there are today just didn’t exist then. You can travel wherever you like and do what you want. So I think that a few kicks were worth it…”
After the revolution Stanislav Devátý became a deputy in the Parliament of Nations of the Federal Assembly for Civic Forum and later for the Civic Democratic Party. From 1993 to 1997 he was director of the Security Intelligence Service.

The State Department says about 50 detainees a day are being hanged at Saydnaya (Said-nay-ah) military prison, about 45 minutes from Damascus. It says the crematorium is being used to hide evidence of the extent of the killings.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration accused the Syrian government Monday of carrying out mass killings of thousands of prisoners and burning the bodies in a large crematorium outside the capital. It also stepped up criticism of Iran and Russia for supporting the Syrian government.
The allegation came as President Donald Trump is weighing options in Syria, where the U.S. attacked a government air base last month in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack on civilians.
But Trump hasn't outlined a larger strategy for ending the Arab country's civil war or ushering Syrian President Bashar Assad out of power. These questions were sure to arise in his meeting at the White House with the United Arab Emirates' crown prince Monday, a day before Turkey's president arrives.
The State Department said it believed that about 50 detainees a day are being hanged at Saydnaya military prison, about 45 minutes north of Damascus. Many of the bodies, it said, are then burned in the crematorium.
"We believe that the building of a crematorium is an effort to cover up the extent of mass murders taking place," said Stuart Jones, the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, in accusing the Syrian government of sinking "to a new level of depravity."
The department released commercial satellite photographs showing what it described as a building in the prison complex that was modified to support the crematorium. The photographs, taken over the course of several years, beginning in 2013, do not definitely prove the building is a crematorium, but they show construction consistent with such use.
In presenting the photographs, Jones called on Russia and Iran to press Assad's government to establish a credible cease-fire with Syrian rebel groups and begin negotiations on a political settlement.
"We are appalled by the atrocities that have been carried out by the Syrian regime and these atrocities have been carried out seemingly with the unconditional support from Russia and Iran," Jones said.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had been "firm and clear" in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last week that "Russia holds tremendous influence over Bashar al-Assad."
A main point of that meeting "was telling Russia to use its power to rein in the regime," she said. "Simply put, the killing, the devastation has gone on for far too long in Syria."
The war has killed as many as 400,000 people since 2011. It has contributed to Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War II and enabled the Islamic State group to emerge as a global terrorism threat.
Trump travels to the Middle East later this week on his first official foreign trip.

BP oil spill - what does it mean for your money?Oil giant suspends share dividend payments
18 June 2010
BP has announced that it would be suspending payment of its share dividend in order to deal with the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico. For the past 48 days, BP has been trying to contain an oil spill amounting to an estimated 60,000 barrels a day, or 2.5 million gallons of oil.
BP has agreed with US President Barack Obama to set aside £13.5bn ($20bn) in order to settle future compensation claims and £58bn has been wiped off the market value of the company since the oil rig exploded on 20 April, falling from £125bn to £67bn in just eight weeks. Its share price has plunged to a 14 year low. But how will this affect you?
Around 13% of the dividend payments that come from UK Equity Income funds is derived from BP, and the suspension of its dividend this year is bound to have a significant impact on returns. BP equates to around 6% of the FTSE 100, so if you have a fund that tracks this index you may also feel the affect of BP's woes.
You can find out if the fund you invest in holds a weighting in BP by looking at the fund factsheet. These are easily available online, and usually display the top 10 holdings of the fund and how much is invested in each company.
The key question as BP's share price tumbles if you hold direct BP shares is whether you should sell now to avoid further losses. By doing this, you run the risk of crystallizing the losses, which would mean you lock in how much has been lost without giving the shares a chance to recover. You should take independent financial advice before making any decisions with your disposal of your shares.
You will not be receiving any payment from your BP shares this year. The company is entitled to do this as dividend payments are discretionary and can be cancelled at any point.
With the share price so low, there have been reports of huge increases in investment in BP shares. Stockbroker TD Waterhouse reported this week that trading volumes have doubled, making it the largest retail investor buy.
The biggest concern that has been raised is the impact that the BP oil crisis will have on the UK's pension funds. BP's dividend income provides the majority of pension funds with £1.8bn in dividend payments every three months.
However, it is important to remember that pension funds are long-term investments and invest in many companies. BP represents around 1.5% of a typical pension fund so while the losses are not ideal, it does not necessarily mean that the value of your pension will dramatically decrease to critical levels.
If you are just about to retire and your pension fund is maturing, you may not be too badly affected by BP's crisis. As your pension plan heads towards maturity, you will move out of equity investments like BP towards less risky assets like bonds and, therefore, your exposure to BP will be reduced.

The Exus and Pomba Giras are entities that are within the cultural Quimbanda. Despite their artistic representation mannered not to be confused neither with nor with the demons of the Goetia demons of Judeo-Christian culture. Each statue represents an entity of Quimbanda (or Pomba Exu Gira) with its attributes and its stylization. Some pictures have a working baroque and are noted for the attention to detail and the delicacy of the lines. The statues of Exu and Pombo Gira are used to adorn the altars of the absent spiritual Quimbanda or accompany the faithful of this ancient African religion.

A fight on Facebook sparked a confrontation that led to the stabbing death of a 39-year-old Colorado Springs man Tuesday night, according to court documents.
Police arrested 20-year-old Elton Lamar Johnson Jr. on Wednesday in connection with the slaying.
Officers say the incident started when the victim, Juan Carlos Lopez-Herrera, was having a Facebook conversation with a woman who told detectives that Lopez-Herrera sent her a message calling her a nasty name, documents state.
The name-calling caused an online disagreement between Lopez-Herrera and the woman's husband, Eric Woods, 32, documents state.
Court papers say Woods asked his 17-year-old stepson and Johnson, a close family friend, to speak with Lopez-Herrera at his home in the 8200 block of Camfield Circle to try to calm him down.
When they arrived, the teen told detectives, the two started talking to Lopez-Herrera, who pulled out a knife and demanded they get off his property, documents state.
During an interview at the Police Operations Center, Johnson told detectives that Lopez-Herrera 'just snapped and started yelling at them to get off his property ' when he mentioned the name of Lopez-Herrera's soon-to-be-ex-wife.
Johnson also said he confronted Lopez-Herrera about why he kept asking Woods for methamphetamine and a gun, documents state.
'Mr. Johnson said Mr. Lopez pulled a knife from his pocket and began swinging the knife at him, ' documents state. 'Mr. Johnson said he thought he could possibly kick the knife from Mr. Lopez's hand, and as he kicked towards the knife, he was cut on his lower right hand. '
Johnson said he picked up the knife when it fell on the ground.
'Mr. Johnson said he held the knife out and jabbed towards Mr. Lopez as he came towards him, ' documents state. 'Mr. Johnson said he felt this was in self-defense because he knows Mr. Lopez to have (a) black belt in martial arts. '
Afterward, Johnson tossed the knife, documents state. Johnson and the 17-year-old told detectives they saw Lopez-Herrera walking toward his front door after the fight.
Police were dispatched to Lopez-Herrera's home just after midnight Tuesday and found Lopez-Herrera dead on his back near his front door.
Police found blood spattered on the sidewalks east and south of the home as well as the sidewalk leading up to it.
Detectives arrested Johnson on suspicion of second-degree murder. He was held at the El Paso County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

How Women Perceive Attractiveness
Page 1 of 2
People we know influence how we think and act when it comes to sex. To begin with, both friends and strangers affect our perceptions of a prospective partner’s attractiveness, consciously and unconsciously. These effects go beyond basic tendencies that men and women have to make judgments about appearance; for example, it has repeatedly been shown that men find women with low waist-to-hip ratios more attractive, and women value certain facial features
in men. Until recently, most research on partner choice and assessments of attractiveness has focused on an individual’s independent preferences. However, there are good biological and social reasons to suppose that perceptions of attractiveness can spread from person to person.
The power of suggestion
An experiment suggests how. First, investigators took pictures of men who were rated equally attractive by a group of women. Then, they presented pairs of pictures of two equally attractive men to another group of women, but between each pair of pictures, they inserted a picture of a woman who was “looking” at one of the men. This woman was smiling or had a neutral facial expression. The female subjects were much more likely to judge a man to be more attractive than his competitor if the woman interposed between the photos was smiling at him than if she was not.
The attractiveness of attached men
In another study, a group of women again rated photographs of men for attractiveness. The photos were accompanied by short descriptions, and when the men were described as “married
,” women’s ratings of them went up. In still another study, men in photographs with attractive female “girlfriends
” were judged to be more attractive when the “girlfriend” was in the photo than when she was not. Having a plain “girlfriend,” however, did not enhance a man’s appeal as much. Astoundingly, women’s preferences for men who are already attached may vary according to where the women are in their menstrual cycles. When they are in the fertile phase of the cycle, they have a relative preference for men who are already attached to other women.

Parenthood is a beautiful and rewarding journey, but it can also be demanding and overwhelming. In the midst of taking care of children and managing household responsibilities, parents often neglect their own well-being. However, prioritizing self-care is crucial for maintaining physical, emotional, and mental health. Self-care is not selfish; it is a necessity for parents to maintain their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. By practicing self-care, parents can nurture their own cup, model healthy behaviors for their children, enhance emotional resilience, strengthen relationships, foster personal identity, and prevent burnout. Prioritizing self-care is a powerful way for parents to lead happier, healthier lives while providing the best version of themselves to their children and family. So, let us celebrate and encourage the importance of self-care among parents, empowering them to prioritize their own well-being as they embark on the beautiful journey of parenthood.
Nurturing Your Own Cup
Parents give so much of themselves to their children and family, often forgetting to refill their own cup. Engaging in self-care activities allows parents to recharge, rejuvenate, and replenish their energy reserves. By taking time for themselves, parents can better show up for their children with a renewed sense of patience, love, and enthusiasm.
Modeling Healthy Behavior
Children are observant and learn by example. When parents prioritize self-care, they demonstrate the importance of self-worth and mental well-being. Modeling healthy habits teaches children to value their own needs and helps them understand the significance of self-care as an integral part of a balanced and fulfilling life.
Enhancing Emotional Resilience
Parenting comes with its fair share of challenges and stressors. Engaging in self-care activities helps parents manage stress, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional resilience. Whether it’s through exercise, meditation, hobbies, or simply taking time for relaxation, self-care provides a healthy outlet for emotional well-being, allowing parents to navigate the ups and downs of parenting with greater ease.
Self-care is not only beneficial for parents but also for the entire family. When parents prioritize their own well-being, they cultivate a stronger sense of self, which positively impacts their relationships with their partners and children. By establishing healthy boundaries and nurturing their own happiness, parents create a harmonious and loving family environment.
Fostering Personal Identity
Parenthood is a significant part of a person’s life, but it is not the sole aspect of their identity. Engaging in self-care activities helps parents reconnect with their personal interests, passions, and goals. Pursuing hobbies, interests, or career aspirations outside of parenting helps parents maintain a sense of individuality, boosting self-confidence and overall life satisfaction.
Preventing Burnout and Promoting Long-Term Well-being
Constantly putting the needs of others before one’s own can lead to burnout and physical exhaustion. Self-care acts as a preventive measure against burnout by providing parents with the opportunity to recharge and prevent prolonged stress. Prioritizing self-care supports long-term well-being, allowing parents to thrive in their parenting role and continue to show up for their family with joy and vitality.

Issues regarding hearing protection device use in manufacturing and mining.
First Pan-American/Iberian Meeting on Acoustics/144th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Cancun, Mexico, Dec 2-6, 2002. Melville, NY: Acoustical Society of America, 2002 Dec; :1-19
This study examines reasons offered by workers for not consistently using hearing protectors. Study groups were comprised of: 1. 124 workers exposed to various levels of noise in a manufacturing company, located in Sno Paulo, Brazil. Data on work history, psychosocial aspects of the worker’s job, medical history, present health, stress, occupational and non-occupational exposures to noise or chemicals and lifestyle factors were collected through interviews. The participants had their hearing and noise exposure assessed. Sixty-four percent of the workers indicated that they wore hearing protectors, but only 20 percent of that subgroup stated that they wore the devices all the time when noise-exposed. 2. 44 workers and supervisors from the manufacturing and mining sectors in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. Participants were interviewed or took part in focus groups discussions on a variety of hearing conservation topics, including problems with the use of HPDs. The variables significantly associated with a worker’s decision not to wear hearing protectors consistently included interference with communication, interference with job performance, comfort issues, self-perception of hearing condition and inability to detect warning signals when wearing HPDs. These are issues to be addressed in order to promote a more effective use of HPDs.

Gulf stock markets were mixed in early trade on Wednesday but a rebound by real estate blue chip Emaar Properties lifted Dubai.
The Dubai index gained 0.6 percent as Emaar, which had been trading near 14-month lows because of a slumping Dubai real estate market, surged 2.8 percent to 6.20 dirhams.
The stock had reached a trailing price-earnings ratio of about 7.6 times, according to Thomson Reuters data - cheap by emerging market standards. Of 12 analysts rating it, 10 have a “buy” or “strong buy” rating and none have a “sell”, according to a Reuters survey; their median target price is 9.45 dirhams.
Saudi Arabia’s index was up 0.1 percent after an hour as Saudi Investment Bank added 1.7 percent. It announced a 16 percent rise in fourth-quarter net profit to 352 million riyals ($93.9 million); NCB Capital had forecast 301 million riyals and EFG Hermes, 302 million riyals.
But Najran Cement fell 1.8 percent after it swung to an annual net loss of 21.9 million riyals from a profit of 125.7 million riyals in the previous year.
Qatar’s index slipped 0.6 percent largely because of a 1.5 percent drop by Qatar National Bank, the largest lender.

The city of Durham sits alongside the River Wear and boasts one of the most spectacular university locations of any global educational facility. Highlighted by a settlement history dating back to 2000 BC, the University grounds are located within the City’s famous 11th century castle and have been noted as a leading centre of scholarship for over 1000 years.
Today, the University continues to uphold it high standards and satisfying blend of ancient traditions and modern values. Its place as the third oldest University in England remains hotly contested, yet its international reputation is in no doubt.
Further afield, the City of Durham is a Mecca of historical cultural references. With more than 630 listed buildings, the likes of Durham Cathedral, Durham Observatory, the Elvet Bridge and The Chapel of the College of St Hild and St Bede, all ensure a certain antiquated ambience at every turn.
Of course, as a student residence, the city also plays host to an enticingly beautiful nightlife. Clubs are easily locatable; with Durham Live, The Loft, Klute, and Walkabout, all offering a range of the alternative and the classic. Those seeking to stretch the student loan will also have no problems finding great deals on long nights out, with the Boathouse always open late with fantastic student offerings on both food and drink.
Restaurants and takeaways are available to suit any taste, with many a local pizzeria highlighted by the ever popular Pizzeria Romeo and Bella Italia. Refusing to break from tradition, the shopping experiences to be enjoyed in Durham are equally eclectic. Your favourite brands can be found at the constantly growing Dalton Park Shopping Centre, whilst local boutique shops, such as The Collector and The Georgian Window, are a pleasant reminder of simpler times; even if the prices aren’t equally anachronistic.
Student accommodation in Durham is as diverse as everything else this wonderful city has to offer. From modest Durham student hall accommodations to more popular Durham student housing with a range of facilities; we are here to help with a list of the very best Durham has to offer:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are mine. Isaiah 43:1
My youngest son is a huge stuffed animal lover. I know most mothers of young children are thinking the same thing – they just have way too many in their house! They seem to be the kind of toy that just accumulates. People give and give and give stuffed animals. The last time I counted, my youngest son alone was up to 47. After that, I lost count. He might even classify as a stuffed animal hoarder!
Here’s the thing, though. While I think that each of those stuffed animals is just sitting on a shelf, or stuffed away in his cupboard, under his bed, on his bed taking up space, that’s not the way he sees them. When he receives a brand new stuffed animal, he is overjoyed. There is joy on his face and in his heart because of a new stuffed animal. Even a new to him stuffed animal from a yard sale or thrift store.
Know what else? He knows every single one of his 50+ stuffed animals by name. I have no idea, I can’t keep them straight. But he can. As I was tidying up the playroom one morning, I was carefully putting some stuffed animals back in their place on the shelf. I looked around and saw them all and thought I really should get him to donate some of these to other children. Or sneakily grab a few and drop them in the donate bin before he came home from school. But he would know when one of them wasn’t where they belonged.
As I was sitting there, looking over only half of his collection, it dawned on me. My little boy and his stuffed animals were kind of like my Saviour and I. There are so many people in this world, it is unfathomable how many there are spread out across the globe. In different countries, in different villages all over, there are Christ followers. I’m just one person amongst millions.
And yet, He knows my name. I am important to Him. He loves me and is overjoyed to have me in His hands.
You and I are the same in that way. We might endure a lot of trials in our lives. We might have our fair share of joy. No matter what we are experiencing, He knows. He knows about the bad day we had yesterday. He knows about the heartache we experience when carrying other’s burdens. He knows the joy we feel when we get a real letter in our mailbox. He knows the love we feel when we are with family and friends. He knows us.
He knows the ups and downs and ins and outs of our life. Mundane details are not unknown to Him. He doesn’t just care about knowing the important stuff. He knows all of us, all the time.
Like my son would know when I sneakily pop a few of his precious stuffies into the donation bin, He knows when we try and hide things from Him. He knows when we are straying from the path He made straight for us. And He wants to bring us home.
His face is full of joy and delight when we come to Him. He has redeemed us. He has called us BY NAME. Think about the power in those words for just a minute. We don’t blend into the background, because there isn’t a background when it comes to God. He’s redeemed us – he’s thought about us because we are important to Him.
One of my favourite scriptures is Psalm 139. It says there, “Oh Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.” He knows when you sit, and when you lie down. He knows when you eat, when you work, when you play. He knows when you spend time with friends. He knows when you spend time with Him. He knows you even deeper and fuller than a parent or spouse knows you.
He knows your name and He is calling you. When you are exhausted, hurting, feeling hopeless, he calls you BY NAME to come home to Him.

Were you looking for a side job that could bring you some money when selling on Amazon suddenly caught your eye? Well, you are probably not the first person because selling products on the internet has become a huge deal these days. However, it is an extremely challenging job to reach out to your customers and make them see the quality of your products among many others.
In this short guide, we will encompass all the most important bullet points tied to selling on Amazon FBA and give you some useful tips on how to succeed as an Amazon seller as soon as possible.
How Does Amazon FBA Function?
Amazon FBA stands for “Fulfilled by Amazon,” from which one can easily conclude that it is a tempting solution for everyone who wishes to sell something online because it offers a place to present your product on the internet and a whole set of different logistics services, from packing to shipping of your product. So, basically, you place your product on Amazon and send it physically to the Amazon warehouse, which deals with storing, picking, packing, and shipping.
On the other hand, your part of the job includes choosing the right product, making sure that your inventory is ok, creating product listings, and promoting your products. Even though Amazon rescues you from tons of stress regarding dealing with and dispatching the products, you will still have to put a lot of effort into marketing and taking care of your stock.
How To Sell Well on Amazon FBA?
#1 Choose the Right Product
The first step towards being an Amazon seller is choosing the first product that you would like to sell. This product needs to be special or in high demand on the market. If there is no demand for the product, it will be extremely hard to sell it. Furthermore, you should check your competition regarding the chosen product and make sure there are not that many sellers with the exact product on Amazon FBA.
#2 Find a Good Supplier
Secondly, you need to ensure that your supplier is trustworthy and reliable when it comes to the delivery of your products. One of the most popular and widely known sites is Alibaba.com. There you can easily find numerous verified suppliers rated and reviewed by others and arrange the delivery of your products in the amount you need.
#3 Create Your Brand and Promote It
Last but not least, after finding a product and supplier who can sell it to you, you need to start working on your brand. If you want to stand out from the crowd on Amazon, you should put focus on creating a website, and social media accounts and invest in ads. This way, the audience will notice your product more easily and be more likely to buy from you.
Being a successful Amazon seller can be a bit tricky, but if you follow these three basic steps, we are sure that you will stay on track and make a lot of profit from your sales. Break a leg!

They are not the only ones saying it, but the fact that Hillcrest Builders/Hillcrest Realty is excited about the direction the real estate market is heading should have everyone in eastern Wisconsin excited as well.
As one of this area’s premier home construction/remodeling and real estate companies, Hillcrest clearly has its finger on the pulse of the real estate market— and Oyvind Solvang of Hillcrest likes what he is hearing and seeing.
“Things have changed—the market is clearly picking up as of the beginning of the year,” Solvang said recently from his office in Glenbeulah. “Based on our inquiries and orders, it’s a dramatic change.”
Solvang said indicators that the Wisconsin economy is improving—coupled with how long some people have been sitting on the sidelines—has the real estate market ready to break loose.
“People are tired of waiting,” he said. “At some point the pent-up demand turns into activity.”
Combination of positive factors
Mortgage interest rates at historic lows, lower prices for new homes/lot packages, and people having or wanting to take the next step in their lives are other contributing factors to a real estate recovery which is already under way, Solvang said.
“That unlocks the gridlock that has been in place,” he added. “The outlook is better. Unemployment rates are still high, but unemployment is starting to decrease which is what is needed for people to feel more confident.
“There isn’t a lot of new home inventory left in our area, so we’re building more homes. People see great value and they want to take advantage of the extremely low interest rates.”
Hillcrest made a name for itself as the developer and builder of some of eastern Wisconsin’s finest subdivisions. It weathered the worst of the recession by doing remodeling projects big and small, but these days its realty services have grown to become an integral part of the complete package which is Hillcrest.
Hillcrest’s realty services are very comprehensive. If homeowners want to sell their home, Hillcrest can handle that. If they want to sell their home and build a new one, Hillcrest can put an affordable package together.
Look at all the factors
Hillcrest Realty will fully analyze the market value before they recommend the listing price to their client. They will be objective in their analysis and share this information with their prospective client up front. They also monitor the market during the listing period and advise the client promptly if they find new information which warrants a change to the listing price.
Hillcrest uses the Multiple Listing
Service. The MLS service has an extensive library of features which allows for constant updating and optimization of listings, not to mention the national exposure a property can get through MLS. Hillcrest also has other online marketing strategies and uses open houses and print advertising for all its clients.
“Our realty is growing quite a bit,” Solvang said. “We’re staying in tune with the market. We’re gaining by leaps

[en] In the quail brain, aromatase-immunoreactive (ARO-ir) neurons located in the medial preoptic nucleus (POM) and caudal paleostriatum ventrale/nucleus accumbens/nucleus striae terminalis complex (PVT/nAc/nST) receive catecholaminergic inputs identified by the presence of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive (TH-ir) fibers and punctate structures. The origin of these inputs was analyzed by retrograde tracing with cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) or red latex fluospheres (RLF) combined with TH immunocytochemistry. CTB and RLF injected in the POM or PVT/nAc/nST were found in cells located in anatomically discrete areas in the telencephalon (hippocampus, septum, archistriatum), hypothalamus (many areas in periventricular position), thalamus, mesencephalon, and pons. In these last two regions, many retrogradely labeled cells were located in dopaminergic areas such as the retroruberal field (RRF), substantia nigra (SN), and area ventralis of Tsai (AVT) but also in noradrenergic cell groups such as the locus ceruleus and subceruleus. CTB tracing showed that most of these connections are bidirectional. Many retrogradely labeled cells contained TH-ir material. As a mean, 10-20% and 40-60% of the RLF-containing cells in the dopaminergic areas were TH-ir when RLF had been injected in the POM or PVT/nAc/nST, respectively. TH-ir cells projecting to the POM appeared to be mostly located in the periventricular hypothalamus and in AVT, whereas projections to the PVT/nAc/nST originated mainly in the SN (with significant contributions from the RRF and AVT). These data support the existence of functional relationships between aromatase and catecholamines.

Burgoo’s Macaroni & More
Holy smokes! It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and written a post! It wasn’t until I had to clear my camera’s SD card before my trip to London (that’s for another post) that I realized I haven’t written about Burgoo’s Macaroni & More experience!
If you live in Vancouver, BC, and you haven’t been to Burgoo, you are missing out. They are a small local chain with 4 locations on the Lower Mainland, serving up the best (at least to me) comfort food. We’re talking cheese (they have a few different kind) fondues for starters and sharing, The best Crab Bisque (among other amazing soups on their menu) to go with…the best Gooey Cheese Grillers (among other amazing sandwiches on their menu. And finally your classic Beef Bourguignon, Mac and Cheese and Mushroom Stroganoff. There is something for everyone on their menu.
So while Christmas Eve shopping (yes I’m that far behind on my blogging), I came across THE Burgoo Food for Comfort recipe book, and in it are the recipes for pretty much everything on their menu! I mean EVERYTHING. Needless to say, I picked the book up.
Fast forward a week or so and the first recipe I decided to tackle is the Macaroni & More recipe. Why “more”? well Burgoo says that it’s their “original Macaroni & Cheese enhanced with bacon, onions and thyme and baked with seasoned bread crumbs.” After making this Mac & Cheese, I have new found respect for making MC from scratch.
So here we go. The recipe serves 6 – 8, but really at the end of the night, I ended up with a 9 x 9 deep dish + 12 x 9 deep dish worth of Mac & Cheese.
The recipe calls for making the “More Mix” first and the more mix consist of (my alterations in brackets):
6-8 strips of bacon – diced into small pieces.
2 medium white onion – chopped
2-3 sprigs fresh thyme – leaves only
½ bunch fresh parsley – chopped (I just used my stash of dried parsley)
2 cups thawed frozen or fresh green peas (I used frozen)
1. In a large saute pan on medium-high heat, fry up the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Add onions to the pan (with the bacon fat still in it) and brown. Remove from heat, and drain & reserve the fat.
3. Add to the onions the bacon, thyme, parsley, and peas and stir to combine. Set aside.
So here is what mine looked like.
Now onto the Mac & Cheese part.
4 tbsp butter
1 medium white onion – chopped
6 tbsp all purpose flour
3 cups whole milk (I replaced this with 2% just to reduce the “fat”)
2 cups of whipping cream
pinch of ground nutmeg (believe it or not, I couldn’t find my nutmeg so I had to skip it…only to find it a week later in my pantry)
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
4-5 cups of dry elbow macaroni
1.5 cups grated extra old white cheddar cheese
0.5 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 recipe of the More Mix (see above)
2 cups panko bread crumbs or shredded dry white bread
2 garlic cloves, minced
0.5 bunch fresh parsley, chopped (I used dried here)
reserved bacon fat (from the More Mix recipe)
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Have ready a large ovenproof casserole dish or 6 – 8 individual sized baking dishes (Burgoo serves it in individual sized baking dishes).
2. Set a large pot of salted water on high heat.
3. Melt butter in a large sauce pan on medium heat. Add onions & cook until translucent. Stir in flour to make a smooth paste to create a roux. Slowly add milk and stir constantly to prevent clumps.
4. Blend in whipping cream, nutmeg (in my case no nutmeg), and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stiriing occasionally until the bechamel mixture thickens. Burgoo says it should take about 6-8 minutes.
5. While the sauce is thickening, hopefully your water’s boiling cause you want to toss the macaroni into the water and cook them according to the package direction. Once it’s al dente, drain and return it back into the empty pot (oh make sure you use a BIGGGGG pot)
6. Combine the Cheddar & Mozzarella cheeses.
7. In the pot where the pasta is, toss pasta with ½ of the mixed cheese and the “More Mix”. Then with help (I needed help with this considering how heavy my sauce pan was) have someone hold a mesh strainer over the pot and pour the bechamel sauce through the strainer and directly onto the pasta. (I find that you have to use a spatula to squish the sauce through the strainer cause the onion gets in the way). Discard the onions.
8. Stir well to combine pasta and sauce, then transfer the cheesy noodles into the baking dish.
9. In a small bowl, toss bread crumbs, garlic, parsley and bacon fat together, then sprinkle topping evenly over the macaroni.
10. Bake for 15 – 16 minutes until the topping is golden on top and its ready to serve.
Now mine looks nothing like the one in the picture and I realized… something is missing. In their picture, it looked nice and gooey. Mine looks crunchy. Then there it was… the left over ½ of the mixed cheeses.The direction only called for mixing half of the cheeses into the macaroni… it doesn’t say where the other half goes… my bet is that it goes on the very top, mixed with the bread crumbs before topping it on top to bake.
All in all though, it was still very delicious and I would make it again if I feel like a macaroni adventure, or have a potluck to go to. Or maybe I’ll just head to the nearest Burgoo.
If you love Burgoo though, you must go pick up their book!

You may think I’m joking with the title of this email, but I’m really not. We have the opportunity right now to create something totally different if we want to, or simply make some tweaks to what is, if that is all that’s needed. It’s our choice.
That feels so powerful – our choice. Right now, we have the power. The stars have aligned in our favour, so unleash your inner child and dream big.
What did you always want to do that seemed impossible? Where did you want to be that you’re not? (you might have to forget about the always wanting to be a blonde thing for the moment, unless you’re good with the home kit thing).
Tomorrow, Monday the 14th, at 11:17am EST, it is New Moon in Sagittarius, AND a total solar eclipse, visible in South America. So, what does that mean?
Well, change, for starters, but this time we can take the power and make the changes. We’re being supported to do just that, maybe even pushed or pulled.
The energy of Sag is always moving forward. Her arrow is pointed to the future. It’s an energy of inspiration, of taking a look at the big picture. When we take that look, we can see where things are flowing and where things are blocked, in life, in relationships, in career. Where have we trapped ourselves by our belief systems, by what we think is possible or not possible.
The child inside you may understand that there are no limits except those we invent for ourselves. If we don’t think it can be done, it’s because nobody has done it yet. Maybe the Universe is waiting for you.
In our Solstice Celebration on the 20th at 7pm, we’re going to look at those limitations that we have created for ourselves, and begin to release them, to let them go. There are so many wonderful experiences and thoughts waiting to replace them that it is time to let them go. We need to create space. So, do some pondering before the event.
We’re going to harness the energy of Fire in both of its forms, the destroyer and the nurturer. Since the Eclipse is in a fire sign, and the Solstice closes out the Sagittarius energy, it feels fitting. We’re also welcoming the return of the light, with more daylight every day, and hopefully, more sunshine.
We’ll honour the Earth, as our foundation, and journey to receive some healing. It’s going to be a fun event.
To register, reply to this email with the subject Solstice.

I received this book for free from the publisher / TLC Book Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.And When She Was Good by Laura Lippman
Published by William Morrow on August 14, 2012
Genres: Crime Fiction, Fiction
Source: the publisher / TLC Book Tours
Goodreads | Amazon
When Hector Lewis told his daughter that she had a nothing face, it was just another bit of tossed-off cruelty from a man who specialized in harsh words and harsher deeds. But twenty years later, Heloise considers it a blessing to be a person who knows how to avoid attention. In the comfortable suburb where she lives, she's just a mom, the youngish widow with a forgettable job who somehow never misses a soccer game or a school play. In the state capitol, she's the redheaded lobbyist with a good cause and a mediocre track record.
But in discreet hotel rooms throughout the area, she's the woman of your dreams—if you can afford her hourly fee.
For more than a decade, Heloise has believed she is safe. She has created a rigidly compartmentalized life, maintaining no real friendships, trusting few confidantes. Only now her secret life, a life she was forced to build after the legitimate world turned its back on her, is under siege. Her once oblivious accountant is asking loaded questions. Her longtime protector is hinting at new, mysterious dangers. Her employees can't be trusted. One county over, another so-called suburban madam has been found dead in her car, a suicide. Or is it?
Nothing is as it seems as Heloise faces a midlife crisis with much higher stakes than most will ever know.
And then she learns that her son's father might be released from prison, which is problematic because he doesn't know he has a son. The killer and former pimp also doesn't realize that he's serving a life sentence because Heloise betrayed him. But he's clearly beginning to suspect that Heloise has been holding something back all these years.
With no formal education, no real family, and no friends, Heloise has to remake her life—again. Disappearing will be the easy part. She's done it before and she can do it again. A new name and a new place aren't hard to come by if you know the right people. The trick will be living long enough to start a new life.
(from the publisher)
Laura Lippman has written something like twenty-two books (including this one), and although I own two of them (aside from this one), And When She Was Good is the first one I’ve read. I say all of this because I don’t have anything to compare this book to, and I was a little disappointed with it. Lippman has been on the NYT bestseller list (not always a good indicator of quality, I know), and she’s won a ton of awards for her writing, so I was expecting to read a pretty good book when I accepted this for review. And it was good fiction, but it wasn’t the great crime fiction that I was expecting.
I am really good at figuring things out in mysteries and crime fiction; it’s in my genetics. If an author wants to fool me or keep me hanging, s/he has to be very, very sneaky. Unfortunately, Lippman wasn’t sneaky enough. In fact, much of the foreshadowing in this book was like (Where’s) Waldo jumping up and down while screaming, “HERE I AM! I’M RIGHT HERE! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?!” The hints and clues were so obvious to me, and should have been obvious to the ever-so-careful-and-meticulous protagonist, but somehow Heloise missed all the signs. Which is my other major complaint: Heloise acted out of character when it was convenient for Lippman to have her do so, and that really bothered me. Everything that should have been subtle and sneaky in the storyline had a big huge spotlight shined on it instead. Much of the story (and a few of the characters) just felt really forced and predictable. Because of this, the suspense was totally reliant upon the way the story was formatted. Sigh.
With that out of the way, there were some things I really liked about And When She Was Good, and I gave it three stars (out of five) on Goodreads for dealing with a controversial subject. I am a big fan of Lippman’s defense of sex workers and making prostitution legal so that sex workers have a safer, regulated environment in which to work. The premise of the book is cool and believable; I had no problem imagining this storyline actually taking place. Although Heloise wasn’t a very likable character, she was relatively well-written and I understood why she made some choices even if I didn’t agree with them. I think this book had a lot of potential that Lippman just didn’t follow through on.
Even though I was pretty disappointed by this one, I will be reading the other two of Lippman’s books I own so I can compare the three. With all of the awards she has won, I’m hoping And When She Woke is the exception to the rule. Stay tuned for a couple of comparison reviews…

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming was elevated Thursday to the role of vice chair of the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol as other Republicans pushed for her ouster from the GOP.
Ms. Cheney, formerly the third-ranked House Republican, will now have a more commanding role in the bipartisan congressional panel investigating the Capitol riot.
“Every member of this committee is dedicated to conducting a non-partisan, professional and thorough investigation of all the relevant facts regarding January 6th and the threat to our Constitution we faced that day,” Ms. Cheney said in a statement. “I have accepted the position of Vice Chair of the committee to assure that we achieve that goal. We owe it to the American people to investigate everything that led up to, and transpired on, January 6th. We will not be deterred by threats or attempted obstruction and we will not rest until our task is complete.”
Committee members are investigating the facts, circumstances and causes related to the Jan. 6 riot, when supporters of former President Donald Trump breached the Capitol and disrupted a joint session of Congress.
The probe is being led by Rep. Bennie Thompson, Mississippi Democrat, who promoted Ms. Cheney, the former chair of the House Republican Conference, to her new position on the committee.
Ms. Cheney “has demonstrated again and again her commitment to getting answers about January 6th, ensuring accountability and doing whatever it takes to protect democracy for the American people,” Mr. Thompson said in a statement, adding that her “leadership and insights have shaped the early work of the Select Committee and this appointment underscores the bipartisan nature of this effort.
One of two Republicans on the panel, Ms. Cheney faced complaints from within her party over her involvement in the probe leading up to and after her promotion to vice chair was made public.
Rep. Andy Biggs, chairman of the conservative Freedom Caucus, wrote House Minority Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday claiming that both Republicans on the select committee cannot be trusted.
In response, Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, one of the two committee Republicans, said he was “even more committed” than before to learning the facts about the Capitol riot.
More recently, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a member of the Freedom Caucus, echoed Mr. Biggs on Twitter, tweeting Thursday: “Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger must be thrown out of the GOP conference!”
Trump supporters breached the Capitol as House and Senate members certified the Electoral College votes effectively recognizing President Biden to be the winner of the November 2020 presidential election.
Democratic efforts to establish an independent commission to investigate the events of Jan. 6 were blocked by Senate Republicans, prompting the House to vote to establish the select committee instead.
Ms. Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has made herself among the more prominent members of the GOP to rip Mr. Trump over the riot and joined Democrats to vote in favor of impeaching him for inciting an insurrection, in turn resulting in her removal from the commanding House conference chair position and the ongoing complaints from within her party.
“It’s important to everyone that the select committee’s leadership reflect the bipartisan effort we are engaged in and I’m pleased that Ms. Cheney has agreed to serve as the select committee’s Vice Chair,” Mr. Thompson said. “We are fortunate to have a partner of such strength and courage, and I look forward to continuing our work together as we uncover the facts, tell the American people the full story of January 6th, and ensure that nothing like that day ever happens again.”

In March of 2012, one of our major goals for EmpowHER.com was to increase page load times. One of the easiest ways to accomplish that is to limit the number of HTTP requests your web server needs to fill per page request. On a CMS driven site like Drupal, the total number of requests a single page requires can easily get into the hundreds.
How much will it cost?
The first thing I can warn you about from experience is that the top-tier CDNs are going to want you to commit to a yearly contract and a minimum monthly bandwidth spend - usually somewhere around 4 TB. If you need that kind of traffic, then start calling around and asking for quotes. Expect to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $1-2k / month.
If you're looking for a smaller amount of bandwidth with no contract, here's a few approaches:
- Ask your hosting provider if they resell CDN bandwidth. Firehost is our host for EmpowHER.com, and they offer CDN service (through EdgeCast) at $.50 / GB. This is really pricey, but it is an option with no monthly commitment.
- Amazon CloudFront is one of the cheapest CDN providers out there at $0.12 / GB as of this writing. The downside is they offer no admin interface to speak of. The only way to purge individual assets is via an API, and you get no usage statistics.
- Use a dedicated reseller, such as GoGrid, SpeedyRails, or TurboBytes.
What features will I need?
Another requirement was that we have a control panel that allows us to monitor bandwidth usage, and purge individual items from the cache. From time to time individual objects in the cache will grow stale and need to be manually refreshed. Some providers make this easier than others so be aware of this when evaluating their offerings.
Here's a couple of links that I used while researching CDN providers:
- Cdnplanet.com, a great site for side by side comparison shopping
- Cedexis.com, scroll about half way down the page for CDN response time comparisons. Note that a shorter response time is better.
So how does this all work?
There's two major methods of integrating with any CDN: Origin Pull or Push. Origin pull means you will point all requests for objects you want cached in the cloud to your CDN provider. They will check their servers to see if that object is present. If not, they will pull it from your website (also called the origin server) and then copy that to their servers which are distributed globally (also referred to as 'edge servers').
Push integration simply means that instead of waiting to pull cacheable objects from your servers, you plan to preemptively upload the files in a batch to your CDN provider. This is most commonly used with large object caching, as you don't want your CDN waiting for an upload to complete on a large file (say, a video) before serving it to your users.
How do I integrate my Drupal site with a CDN?
First, you're most likely going to want to create a subdomain for your CDN. We created a simple subdomain off of EmpowHER.com (cdn.empowher.com) and pointed it at EdgeCast's CDN server. Your CDN provider will have instructions on how to set this up.
In Drupal, there's a community module to make all of this really simple: CDN. Just install the module as usual and go to '/admin/settings/cdn'. Then simply tell the CDN module what domain it's supposed to pull from and what files you want to serve via CDN. For example:
- On the 'General' tab, simply set the Status to 'Testing' to start.
On the 'Details' tab, leave the mode set to 'Origin Pull'. in the CDN mapping text area field, enter:
http://cdn.yourdomain.com| .css .js .ico .jpg .png .ong .svg .otf .ttf .swf
This will enable CDN integration for Administrator level users only. Be sure to clear your cache in the usual way before testing. Once you've verified everything looks good, switch CDN from 'Testing' to 'Enabled'.
How do I monitor my CDN usage?
If your CDN provider offers a control panel, then they should have reporting built in. I recommend keeping a close eye on your bandwidth usage for at least the first couple of months, as any overages from your monthly spend (if you have a set agreement) are typically billed at a higher rate, so it pays to be aware!

Three talents on the current women's roster in WWE right now have caught the eye of the boss man.
The latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that a big meeting was held before the recent investment call for the WWE Q2 2020 earnings report.
During the 7/30 meeting, Vince McMahon spoke of three specific talents in the women's divisions in the company as emerging Superstars.
According to the report by Dave Meltzer, the meeting held by the investment call on 7/30 was described as "brutal," with Vince reportedly "approving nothing."
An additional meeting was held on 7/31, reportedly lasting four hours and it was during this meeting that he "talked forever about how much he loves Bayley and her new persona," as well as two other talents that many might find as a bit of a surprise.
Peyton Royce and Bianca Belair were then specifically named by the WWE Chairman as two other talents in the company whose recent performances have made him take notice.
McMahon now reportedly views them in a different perspective -- one that could and likely will see the two receive pushes on television in the coming weeks.

You might be a Republican IF…..
By Loren Adams, 13 June 2010 http://tpjmagazine.us/adams46
You might be a Republican IF…
You think toilet paper should come in Q’uran and NYT print.
You find nothing contradictory about your sign that reads “Hands Off My Medicare” next to a “Government Run Healthcare Makes Me Sick” sticker on the bumper of your gas guzzling Humvee,
You think that affirmative action is only acceptable for Michael Steele and Marco Rubio.
You don’t like being called “The Party of NO” but instead like being referred to as “The Party of HELL NO!” only because Sarah Palin suggested it.
You think “Semper Fi” should be changed to “Git R Done”
You think your Tea Party posters are not misspelled that read: “I am Joe the Plummer,” or “Make English Americas Offical Langage.” Or “Say No to Socilism.”
You think Stem Cell research is what killed Terri Schiavo
As part of your boycott of all names French, you change the name of your favorite sex toy to “freedom tickler.”
You think the 2000 election was fair & square when Bush stole the White House but the 2008 election was stolen by ACORN for Obama.
You’ve ever announced your gratitude to our troops for fighting for your freedom to drill baby drill and spill baby spill.
You feel your duty in the war on terror is to hunt down Mexicans crossing the border. (Then you hire undocumented workers to do your lawn and housework.)

Single-use equipment and its support of QbD
QbD has found success within pharmaceutical processes and gained momentum in the production of biologics (2). Knowing the
quality attributes and properties of a product creates the opportunity to design quality into the process with process analytical
technology (PAT) tools. The very well-known saying, "to design quality into a process instead of testing it in" and Janet
Woodcock's statement, "a maximally efficient, agile, flexible pharmaceutical-manufacturing sector that reliably produces high-quality
drug products without extensive regulatory oversight" (10) are very much supported by single-use technologies, especially
interconnected unit operations.
Once the critical quality attributes are known, process-development activities can include small-scale, single-use process
steps to evaluate the reliability of the equipment and its potential effect on the product. Furthermore, single-use sensor
technologies can be deployed to allow for process controls, creating a dependable and robust output. Such small-scale systems,
however, must be scalable to avoid surprises in process scale.
It is, therefore, important for single-use vendors to supply a scaling-basis system supported by various single-use sensor
technologies and appropriate qualification documentation. The benefits of single-use unit operations include less human intervention
and fewer possible set-up failures. The process step is assembled and ready-to-use coming as soon as it comes out of the package.
The assembly is fitted into the supporting hardware systems, which is simpler than disassembling a process step, cleaning
the components, assemblying the components, and sterilizing the system before moving to point-of-use (POU).
Single-use process steps are unfolded at POU and interconnected aseptically by validated-connection systems. Any designs within
a hardware system might be complex to disassemble, clean, and then reassemble. An interconnected single-use operation is less
complex because the end-user does not have to assemble multiple components. Such design benefits and ever-advancing, single-use
sensor technologies create opportunities to support QbD initiatives with PAT.
A PAT approach must take into account any out-of-specification situation within a process step. Sensor technologies in single-use
format include pressure, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature sensors (7). However, more needs to be done within
the sensor-technology field. The qualification documentation, which commonly goes together with any single-use components
or assemblies, can be used to determine any obstacles to critical quality attributes and potential influences on product quality.
Vendors of single-use technologies have a thorough understanding of their raw material, finished goods, and assemblies. Furthermore,
they support validation requirements with their service organization. End-user process-development resources should exploit
service support opportunities by vendors to establish appropriate qualification and validation activities.
Process and facility designs
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing typically involves numerous process steps. The sequence, number, or size os steps differs
by application and individual bioprocesses (8). To reduce the time and engineering effort required during the design and construction
of production facilities, process platforms are increasingly used to define cost-effective solutions.
Process platforms are well-defined sequences of processes or process steps, which enable progress in biopharmaceutical development
and production as they expedite time-to-market. Significant benefits associated with process platforms include efficient-engineering
workflows and more precise cost determinations and cost allocations, particularly in the early design phases. Furthermore,
projects can be implemented faster and investment decisions can be postponed until the drug candidate shows positive results.The
use of process platforms also offers potential for process optimization, implementation support of QbD initiatives, accelerated
production start-ups, and improved supply security.
The prerequisite is closed, preconfigured, single-use unit operations. These units serve as process platforms while supporting
bioprocess and user safety. By maintaining flexibility and allowing different configurations, process complexity is significantly
reduced, which is often considered a key success factor by the end user.
Several suppliers have already launched their first configurable disposable solutions or systems (CDS). These solutions address
the different volume needs, within the development cycle to production-capacity needs for buffer or media preparation, from
50 to 1000 L. The integration of monitoring and control features for pH, pump-speed, and fluid-level control is an additional
milestone in the development and implementation of process-relevant, single-use equipment. The integrated controls allow end
users to perform other tasks during, for example, buffer-preparation operations.
Whether a production facility is a retrofit or green field, the process and workflows must always be defined to assist in
developing the facility layout. Logistics for material handling, segregation of critical steps, space requirements for work-in-progress
and storage, plus provision of the utilities required for process and cleaning needs at every critical process step, must
be fully specified.
Finally, support spaces required and their interactions with the process path must be clearly defined (5). Employing single-use
equipment generally requires more space to accommodate movement and handling. For this reason, horizontally-positioned production
operations located on one floor, with sufficient space for material and personnel transfer, are the best layout for disposable-production
facilities. Although this may require more floor space than production facilities which are installed vertically, this arrangement
is recommended for bag-based transport and storage of raw materials, semi-finished, and finished products.
Vertically arranged equipment (common in many current biopharmaceutical-production facilities) tends to be more cost-effective,
due to the compact-building design possible and the resulting low ground-area footprint. However, in the conventional arrangement,
where both medium and buffer preparation take place on the floor above the process suites, a vertically-designed, disposable
production facility is at a disadvantage because transporting medium and buffer bags must be done over one floor or the fluid
transport must be accomplished between different floors and, thus, involve piping. In the latter case, the potential advantages
associated of storage and transporting media and buffers in disposable bags would be negated.

The College has a well established canteen in the campus. It forms the junction of the students from different streams/courses. It makes all edible items available to the students and faculty members as per their requirement. The environment in the canteen is clean & hygienic. The rates charged for various items of food are checked and approved by the college administration. Canteen is open on working days from 8.30am to 5.30pm.
A canteen committee is responsible for monitoring the operations of the canteen and implementing and reviewing the canteen policy. They may also be responsible for specific decisions as specified in the canteen policy, such as employing staff, authorising major purchases or authorizing changes in the menu. A canteen committee is a proven way to give the canteen enough autonomy to operate as a business while maintaining strong connections with the institute.
Some advantages of having a canteen committee are:
To facilitate hygienic and nutritious food at reasonably priced merchandise and services essential to their comfort and well-being.
The Committee monitors, at regular intervals, the quality and quantity of services provided by the canteen and works together with the canteen in charge to improve the services with regards to quality of the food provided, timing of canteen, prices of articles sold.

If you were among the 90 million or so Americans who tuned in to Super Bowl XLI, you were no doubt left with a few questions to go along with your Monday morning hangover: Is Rex Grossman just Neil O’Donnell reincarnated? Do people honestly find Carlos Mencia funny? And what was Prince doing working a version of the Foo Fighters’ “Best of You” into his high-octane halftime set?
Well, we may not have the answers to all those quandaries — though we do suggest guzzling some Pedialyte to cure that crippling crapulence. But we can try to get to the bottom of the whole Prince/Foo thing, the roots of which actually reach all the way back to 2003, when the Foos recorded a version of the Purple One’s scandalous “Darling Nikki” (from his breakout 1984 album, Purple Rain) and released it as a B-side on the Australian version of their “Have It All” single.
Though it may have only been intended for our friends Down Under, the Foos’ version of “Nikki” actually began to accumulate radio play here in the States and even became a set-closing staple at Foo Fighters shows in 2004.
“Whenever we finish an album [in this case, the band's 2002 effort, One by One], we just think it’s fun to do a couple of covers,” Foo drummer Taylor Hawkins explained. “Dave loved ‘Darling Nikki’ because it was really funky. And so we just recorded our version in my garage, and somehow it ended up getting played on radio — which was weird, because we just did it as a sort of joke.”
And while the band — and its fans — yukked it up, Prince was less than pleased, telling Entertainment Weekly that he didn’t appreciate the Foos (or anyone else) covering his work, and that Grohl and company should “write [their] own tunes.”
“We wanted to put it out here in the States, but Prince wouldn’t let us,” Hawkins said. “I heard that he didn’t like our version. Or maybe he just didn’t like us doing it.”
Fast-forward nearly three years to January 29, when a studio version of Prince melding a version of “All Along the Watchtower” with the Foos’ “Best of You” made its worldwide debut on Howard Stern’s Sirius satellite radio show. Reportedly sent to Stern by someone in Prince’s camp, the mash-up was greeted with enthusiasm by not just Stern (“I got chills”), but a large portion of the blogosphere too.
So when Prince took the glyph-shaped stage at Miami’s ProPlayer Stadium during halftime on Sunday, it seemed rather likely that he’d be performing the tunes — and he did, working both numbers into a jam-packed medley that also included Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy” and “Baby I’m a Star” and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary.”
But it also raised a series of questions — chief among them, was Prince covering the Foos because he’s a fan or because he was firing a return salvo over the bow of the S.S. Foo?
“Dude, I have no idea why he did it, but I’d love to find out,” Hawkins laughed. “I mean, the thought went through my head that maybe he was doing it as a sort of ‘F— you’ to us, or maybe he really likes the song. Either way, it was pretty amazing to have a guy like Prince covering one of our songs — and actually doing it better than we did.”
Hawkins said he was clueless about Prince’s plans to work “Best of You” into his Super Bowl set. “I was watching the game at our producer Nick Raskulinecz’s house, and since he’s doing the new Rush album, all the guys from the band were there,” he said. “I mean, I’m outside smoking a cigarette with [Rush drummer] Neil Peart and someone sticks their head outside and goes, ‘Uh, dude, Prince is doing your song.’ ” Hawkins said he hasn’t heard from anyone in Prince’s camp about the cover (neither has MTV News, which made several attempts to contact him about his Super Bowl medley).
Hawkins said the entire band is thrilled — if a little puzzled — by the cover. And with the Foos in the very early stages of work on a new album, there’s always the possibility of the band firing up the tribute machine one more time, trying to rankle Prince again.
“We’re just getting started on a new album, just demoing and stuff right now,” Hawkins said. “But maybe we’ll get cracking on a version of ‘Purple Rain’ to see if maybe he’ll hate it even more.”

Document origination has come a long way from the dictating machine, penciled markups and going back and forth to the transcriber. With electronic files on your computer it is easy to correct and add to files. Once the document is originated, why not save time and get a better product by editing it yourself? You may even get a better feel for the flow and accuracy of the text by working with it yourself. (This discussion is primarily based on Microsoft Word for PCs, but other word processing programs have similar functions.)
Back to Basics
The fundamental tool of a word processing program is the cursor-a vertical, blinking bar. Any keyboard characters you press will be inserted wherever the cursor is placed. Tapping, or holding down, the <Back Space> key deletes characters to the left of the cursor. To move the cursor, press on any of the arrow keys on your keyboard. To change the location of the cursor with your mouse, move the mouse - an I beam appears on your screen. Position the I beam where you want the cursor to be and click on the mouse button.
Be aware that by pressing the <Insert> key, you can toggle back and forth between regular typing that inserts characters as you type and overtype – a command that replaces characters by typing the desired replacement text. When overtype is on, the letters OVR appear in the status bar at the bottom of the document screen.
What, you aren’t a touch typist? That doesn’t matter for simple editing. Don’t fear typing like Ratbert in the Dilbert comic. The hunt-and-peck method works fine for insertions of modest length. To familiarize yourself with the keyboard and the basics of touch typing, take a look at the How to type – Tutorial at alphatyping.com. This site also offers online typing lessons. If you really want to get down and dirty get the classic teaching software - Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
For a quick and basic introduction to Word 2003 go to the Priory Words School Web site for Word Processing Tips and Tricks. For basic Word 2007 tips and tweaks see Tips for Word Processing. For Help while working on a document in Word, just press <F1>. For some basic tips and rules for working in Word see Some Word Processing Tips.
Selecting a Block of Text
To copy or cut a block of text you must first select the text. To do this in Word, move the mouse until the I beam is where you want the selection to begin. The simplest way to select text is to press <F8> to select the first word after the cursor, press <F8> again to select the first sentence and press <F8> again to select the first paragraph. Alternatively, to select the paragraph in which your cursor is located, triple click with the mouse button. A more flexible method to select text is to hold down the mouse button (the I Beam changes to a vertical cursor), move the cursor to where you want the selection to end and release the mouse button.
See Pinnington’s Word Processor Tips and Tricks for more tips and tricks for the basic use of both Word and Corel WordPerfect (including how to select text in WordPerfect).
Cut and Paste
You can copy the selected text by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl><C> or cut the selected text by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl><X>. To paste the selected text, move the cursor to the point at which you want to paste the text and simultaneously press <Ctrl><V>. If you want to undo a change you just made simultaneously press <Ctrl><Z>. Note that the letters Z, X, C, and V are next to each other on the lower left hand side of the keyboard. For convenience you can hold down the <Ctrl> key on the lower left hand side of the keyboard with the little finger of your left hand and press the desired letter with another finger on your left hand. (The same procedure works on a Mac by using the <Open Apple> key.) In Word you may also copy selected text by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl><Insert> and then pasting the copied text by simultaneously pressing <Shift><Insert>.
A slicker way to cut and paste text after selecting it is to click on the Edit menu in Word 2003 (or place the cursor arrow on the selected text and right click your mouse button). A menu appears from which you may select either Cut or Copy. You can then paste the text into the place you desire by selecting Paste from the Edit menu (or by right clicking your mouse). In Word 2007, click on Home and the Copy, Cut and Paste functions appear as icons on the left side of the Home ribbon.
One of the cool things in Word 2007 is that you can copy more than one block of text to the virtual Windows Clipboard. With the Home ribbon open, click on Clipboard to view the blocks of text you copied to the clipboard and select one or more blocks to paste at the insertion point you select.
Copying text causes that text to be placed on the Windows Clipboard in your computer memory and it may be pasted into any program from there (such as Excel) using the copy and paste procedures for that program.
Function Keys in Word
In Word 2003 you may activate the Function Key Display menu, (from the Tools drop-down menu, choose Customize, then Toolbars, then select Function Key Display) which displays a special toolbar at the bottom of the screen, just above the status bar, with reminders of the tasks that may be performed by using the <F> keys on the keyboard. For example, to go to a place in a document, press <F5>. Press <Ctrl> or <Alt> to cause the toolbar to display the options available when holding down <Ctrl> or <Alt> as you press a given <F> key. For instance, by pressing <Ctrl>, notice the <F5> key on the Function Key Display toolbar changes to “Restore,” and by pressing the <Alt> key, the <F5> key changes to the “Restore All” option. With this tool you can thus view and learn <F> key keyboard shortcuts.
Copying Text from Elsewhere
You can copy text from another program or website and paste into a Word document using the same procedure outlined above. If the source you are copying the text from is formatted differently than your word processor text, you can change the formatting of the copied text to make it uniform with your Word document. Copy a block of text and, in Word 2003 for example, from the Edit drop down menu select Paste Special (from the Home drop down menu in Word 2007 select Paste and then Paste Special). Select Unformatted Text from the menu that appears and your copied text, when pasted, will appear in your Word in the format already applied to the location you paste to.
Be careful when copying text from a Web site, since national and international copyright laws and plagiarism rules apply to materials on the Web just as they do to hard copy materials. For further guidance see the Copyright Clearance Center. Under the fair use doctrine, limited portions of a work may be used, as explained on the United States Copyright Office Web site or the North Carolina State University rules of thumb for Fair Use of Copyrighted Materials. Appropriate attribution should be given to quoted text or to ideas that you adapt from text created by others.
Collaboration Using Word
As you edit a document it may useful for a colleague to have input on the same document. Collaborative drafting is easy in Word. In Word 2003, from the Tools drop down menu, click on Review, then Toolbars and Reviewing to display the Reviewing Toolbar (in Word 2007 click on Review). Click on the Track Changes icon to turn on tracking. As you type, everything you change, delete or insert will be reflected by colored underlining and balloons filled with text. Click on Track Changes again to turn off tracking. By default Word will use a different color for the changes made by each person working on the document. You can accept or reject changes made to the document one by one or all at once by clicking on Accept or Reject.
You can speed up your document drafting and actually improve the content of your documents by doing your own editing. Can’t hurt to give it a try.

Another event. Another embassy.
Last Wednesday, the Polish embassy presented a reading and debate of Michael Fleming's book, "Auschwitz, the Allies and Censorship of the Holocaust".
Falls right in line with "The Imitation Game" and the codes they broke which could have been used to win the war much sooner. Profoundly disturbing to know that both the British andAmerican governments :knew" of the atrocities happening waiting 2 long years and millions of corpses later to take any action.
The event which I have been attending and the whole gamut of events, programs, radio, television, newspapers coverage leading up to the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz are extremeely hard on me but I do it to honor my mother and in rememberance of family lost.
if Lili can hold up, I can.
The Polish ambassador is a dear and devoted friends of Lili's. He is seen escorting my mother up the beautiful staircase and sat her next to him.
Thinking of writing a book reviewing embassy buffets!

Sorry, that is complete BS.

Andrew Emond, a Canadian-based photographer and explorer, has been on a mission since 2009: he’s creating an absolutely incredible resource by documenting the 3,000 mile-long network of tunnels hidden underneath the streets of Montreal.
Titled Montreal Underground, Emond’s recently redesigned website takes you on an extremely unique journey of Montreal’s underground infrastructure, some of which dates back as far as 1832. The photographs he captures during his adventures shine a light — both literally and figuratively — on an entirely new, almost ethereal world, as you can see in a collection of his photos below:
Armed with only a flashlight, a pair of boots, a 7D with a 12-24mm f/4 attached, and presumably a strong nose, Emond doesn’t just do it for the adrenaline rush the DIY spelunking and unique sights offer, but also because he really wants to learn more about the city’s historical geography.
As bland as underground tunnels may seem on paper, they give a great deal of insight and understanding of the previous layout of the city, offering context to how it has since developed. And to anyone even remotely fascinated by geography and understanding how culture shapes landscape (and vice-versa), this sort of information and documentation is a gold mine.
If you’re looking to see more of his photographs from the Montreal Underground, or are equally intrigued by the historical aspect, be sure to head over to the Under Montreal website. Emond has two dozen or so articles up on the site that go into great detail about each location and the history behind it.
P.S.: For those of you wondering how Emond could possibly spend his any time wading through knee-deep sewer water, Emond says, “it’s not as bad as you might think. It’s more water than anything else.”

Wauwatosa fared well during the recent dangerously hot multiday stretch.
"People are being really smart about this," Assistant Fire Chief James Case said. "They're staying hydrated and staying indoors with air conditioning when possible."
The Fire Department hasn't seen a spike in heat-related illnesses, he said.
Department leaders also watched out for their own crews, cutting down on "non-essential activities" like fire inspections that could wear them out.
If a fire were to break out in these dry conditions, assistance from other communities would be called in early, Case said.
Two small grass fires broke out Thursday in the area of Highway 45 and Burleigh Street. The fires were likely ignited by sparks from a We Energies substation that was trying to power back up after an outage.
There was an equipment failure at the substation, but it hasn't been determined if it was heat-related, said We Energies spokeswoman Cathy Schulze.
About 3,700 customers lost power for up to three hours just after noon Thursday. Traffic signals were out along North Avenue around 92nd Street.
There's been a higher-than-usual demand on We Energies' system, but it's been holding out in the conditions, Schulze said.
State roadways haven't done as well. Seventeen spots saw buckling - including Highway 100 and Greenfield Avenue - on Thursday.
"We're expecting more today," said Don Miller, Wisconsin Department of Transportation spokesman, on Friday.
To protect highway crews as they repair buckled pavement, motorists should shift lanes or slow down as required by the state's Move Over Law.

(CNN) Standing on the spot where 50 years earlier the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. made “I have a dream” the clarion call of the civil rights movement, a broader call for equality rang out Saturday.
Thousands rallied at the National Mall to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic August 28, 1963, March on Washington.
Leaders from civil rights, religious and civic organizations paid tribute to those who fought and continue to fight for racial equality, but the slate of demands today has expanded to other hot-button issues.
Income inequality, discrimination based on sexual orientation and mistreatment of immigrants were all themes espoused by the dozens of speakers.

ARSACS is a devastating neurological disorder caused by the loss of the Sacsin protein. Sacsin knockout (KO) mice recapitulate the cardinal symptoms of ARSACS, and research with these mice could therefore both help understand and ultimately cure the disorder. Mitochondrial dysfunction due to defective mitochondrial fission has been proposed as a primary cause of neurodegeneration in ARSACS. Other evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction may be secondary to cytoskeletal abnormalities.
Our work aims to settle this controversy by crossing Sacs KO mice with mice that lack either positive (PP2A/Bbeta2) or negative (PKA/AKAP1) regulators of the mitochondrial fission enzyme dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). Published and unpublished evidence suggests that both genetic manipulations are likely to influence the progression of the disorder, which we will monitor both behaviorally and with ex vivo imaging techniques. Outcomes from this project will illuminate the role of altered mitochondrial dynamics in ARSACS pathogenesis and point to novel avenues for treatment.

The week-long Wind Spirit sailings begin in Papeete, Tahiti, the world's definition of paradise, after which they will visit the following islands:
• Moorea (overnight) - the beauty of this unforgettable island of love lies in drama and adventure.This will be the first time the recently renovated Wind Spirit will sail the South Pacific. With six sails that cover 21,500 square feet, the French-built sailing yacht was made to cruise the French Polynesia Islands under the power of warm breezes and tall billowing sails. The aqua blue water of the South Pacific can be enjoyed at the back of the yacht with Wind Spirit's Watersports Platform, which offers paddle boards, kayaks, hobie cats, wind surfing, snorkeling equipment, and more when the ship is at anchor.
• Taha'a - this fragrant island is known for its abundance of vanilla and offers a glimpse of the traditional tranquil life of the Tahitians.
• Raiatea (overnight) - recognized throughout Tahiti as the 'Sacred Island,' it also serves as the cultural heart of French Polynesia.
• Huahine (overnight) - known as the Garden of Eden, with lush forests, untamed landscape and quaint villages.
• Bora Bora (overnight) - an island paradise in the South Pacific and known worldwide for its natural beauty.
Onboard and ashore, South Pacific culture will be brought to life in Windstar style. Local entertainment, such as traditional Tahitian dancers, will come on board for a magical evening to remember.

"We've listened and made the decision that now is the perfect time to come back to the beautiful islands of French Polynesia. Birkholz added, "We've looked at what was popular with our guests in the past and we blended it with our luxury small-ship experience today to deliver the best product possible.

Hello, I am brand new to this and have a couple of questions. I am getting my droid tomorrow and I am considering rooting it for a couple of reasons(wifi tether, and full control over something I own being the main reasons). On the videos I have seen for rooting and unrooting your phone it involves deleting and installing a file called "update.zip" which brings up my first couple of questions. 1. Is it possible to keep the Original "update.zip" file on your sd and just rename it? That way I don't have to search the internet later and download the "unroot-update.zip" file in case I need to unroot. 2. If that is not possible(I don't see why, but like I said I'm new) would it work If I just copied my original sd card that comes with the droid to another sd card? That way I could keep the original as a backup, then if I need to unroot I could just switch out cards. Thank you.

The Rain Child, Margaret Laurence
The Rain Child, Margaret Laurence Margaret Laurence (1928-1987) is one of the most beloved writers in Canada, she was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1972 that shows her popularity. Also The range and the quality of her work made her the most recognized and accomplished of the writers of the 1960s (New 265). She began to write from age 7, but none of her stories was published until she moved to Africa, where she lived for seven years because of her husbands job. Her first published fiction, the Uncertain Flowering, was followed by several short stories, published in various journals, that were collected in The Tomorrow-Tamer in 1963. The Rain Child is one of these short stories, which sets in Africa and was influenced by Laurences experience as a minority there. Moreover, she recognized the division between their [Africans] traditional ancestral past and their contemporary partly Westernized present (New 265). The plot of the story is quite simple; an African girl, Ruth, who has been educated in England moves back to Africa with her father, and becomes a student in Eburaso Girls School where the narrator, Miss Violet Nedden is the English teacher. Her integration, her identity problems and behavioral changes are told by Miss Nedden. These themes can be found in the other short stories as well, because they focus repeatedly on outsiders trying to cope with their own identities (New 266). In addition, Laurence shows special sympathy for those, both African and European, who no longer fully belong anywhere (The Oxford Companion ti Canadian Literature 634) in her short stories. The main motif in The Rain Child is identity because every main character has identity problems. The narrator, Miss Nedden is an English woman who moved to Africa to teach and she has spent there twenty-two years, but she did not become a real African, however she has adapted herself to the circumstences more easily than her boss, Miss Hilda Povey. Miss Povey is more close-minded than Miss Nedden as she says at the beginning of the story, twenty-seven years here [Africa]. . . and she still felt acutely uncomfortable with African parents. Miss Nedden is more open-minded, for instance, she gives up to teach Daffodils and turns to Akans poetry, and she joins to the girls when they go to the Odwira. On the contrary to her achieved integration, Miss Nedden keeps her English identity, for instance, her garden chair which is like a throne for her, and the reader also can sense the superiority over Africans in her thinking. However, she also cannot be a real English woman after spending so m any years in Africa. As she says it at the end of the short story: I think of that island of grey rain where I must go as a stranger, when the time comes. The other main character, Ruth, is also struggling with identity problems because she has lived in England before she moved back to Africa with her father. She seems African with her brown skin but she cannot speak the Twi, the language of the area and she does not know a lot about the African culture and traditions. For her, everybody seems strange and somehow barbarian with the traditional African clothes that they wear after classes and their weird beliefs, for instance: Yindos talisman. She does not feel as she is at home, she wants to go back to England: I wish I were back at home. Ruth becomes happier when she meets David, an English boy, but he makes her shocked when he says: I know youre not the ordinary kind of African. Youre almost almost like a like us.. It is not enough for Ruth, therefore she runs away to the forest and at the end of the short story she leaves the school and goes to another in the town. Ruths father, Dr. Quansah also has got some kind of identity problem. He has worked in England for many years and there he has had friends but he cannot find any neither European nor African in Africa. As he says: I still find most Europeans here as difficult to deal with as I ever did. And yet I seem to have lost touch with my own people, too.. He has got a mixed identity, because he also keeps western habits, but in a way he remains African in his thinking. For instance: he eats western food, wears European clothes and speaks English, but he is not identical to Europeans because he resents the Europeans racism. The theme of identity also brings up the question of race and culture. Ruth is an African girl because of her roots, but she has been brought up in a different culture, therefore she feels herself more English than African. However, in the eyes of other people she will remain African, she cannot be truly English, as David says she is just almost like them. On the contrary, the conclusion of the short story is about the power of culture above race. Race is insignificant and artificial, Laurence is saying; culture is real and inviolable. (Craig 115). In addition to culture, the traditions have got important roles in the short story, for instance, the senior girls are allowed to wear the traditional, colourful African dress. The main traditional event in the story is the Odwira festival. There happens something shocking to Ruth when she sees Kwaale and a boy doing the Shoot an arrow ritual. The boy shoots an imagenary arrow to Kwaale and she shows her naked body to him. It is a reminder that women are the source of life, however Miss Nedden is not sure that Kwaale and the boy really know about this customs meaning or origin or they just care about the beat of their own blood. Also the title of the short story is connected to African culture because when Ruth was born her mother called her an African name which means Ãâ¹Ã child of the rainÃâ¹Ã . Her English name, Ruth is also interesting because it can be seen as a biblical refernce. Ruth in the Bible was a poor, foreigner woman and her story shows the triumph of ingenuity and courage over tough circumstences. This is a bit sarcastical because in The Rain Child Ruth is neither ingenious nor courageous because she does not want to be a part of her new country. Laurence used mainly Ruths story to tell problems with which a whole nation and generation faced at that time. The themes identity, migration, alienation, integration, race, sense of belonging she put in The Rain Child show a great sense of understaning towards these people. Laurences [style] embraces conscious symbolism while it strives for the immediacy of ordinary experience (New 265).

Col. Jim Sears announced his replacement as wing commander at Columbus Air Force Base Thursday during a meeting of the Base Community Council.
As of July 11, Colonel John Nichols will be the new wing commander of the 14th Flying Training Wing. According to a press release issued by base officials, Nichols is a senior pilot with more than 2,000 flight hours in the B-1, MQ-9, T-37, and T-38 aircraft, including 662 combat hours. He was commissioned in 1992 after receiving his degree in political science from the Air Force Academy.
Sears will leave CAFB and head to San Antonio, Texas, where he will serve as Chief of Officer Assignments at Randolph Air Force Base.
Sears, wing commander since July 2012, said CAFB has a rally of invaluable community support behind it.
"I could tell right away there was something special about Columbus," he said. "I could tell that something was different here. I realize that there are some things the base brings to the community, but the neat thing is that all of you, when you shake my hand -- when I see you shake the other airmen's hands -- I can tell that you're not just here because of what the base brings. You're here because you really do care about the airmen. I can't say that with every assignment I've ever been in, I really can't. And that is the special thing about Columbus and Lowndes County and the area and what we have here."
During his tenure as wing commander, Sears changed the base's mission statement to "The premiere pilot training wing and community, developing the world's best airmen." Sears said his decision to change the mission statement was partially due to the support CAFB receives from local citizens.
"That is what drove me early on, when we changed our mission statement, " he said. "You are all a part of that."
In addition to changing the mission statement, Sears also oversaw a $32 million expansion on the runway, which is the longest in Mississippi at 12,000 feet. It was completed on time and under budget. Sears said two other runway expansion projects began at other bases at the same time as CAFB's, and, to date, CAFB is the only project completed. The expansion was "a great way to see a great team come together," he said.
As a pilot training base, CAFB saw 829 pilots graduate from pilot training during his two-year stay.
Of the 3,000 airmen who work at CAFB, more than 150 airmen were deployed under Sears.
Of those 150, the instructor pilots who deployed during 2013 flew almost 11,000 combat hours, Sears said.
"Little old Columbus, we don't deploy squadrons, but we flew as many combat hours as most combat wings did last year," he said.
"The future is bright for Columbus Air Force Base," Sears said.

Those emojis help to highlight users who are trending significantly in either direction (up or down).
We calculate the change by comparing a user's current score with his/her score in the previous engagement period (so if you selected a 7-day engagement period when setting up your score, we compare a user's current score with his/her score 7-days prior).
We then highlight (through the magic of emojis), those users whose score trend has increased or decreased significantly:
🔥 = Score increase of 10 or more points
❄️ = Score decrease of 10 or more points

Via Alex Speier -
Red Sox principal owner John Henry, in an appearance on CBS Radio, said that the signing of outfielder Carl Crawford to a seven-year, $142 million contract was a decision driven purely by baseball rather than concern about declining TV ratings. Indeed, Henry suggested that the Sox were convinced that the drop in NESN ratings was the result of changes to the people meter that measures TV audiences. That being the case, Henry said that the decision to sign Crawford was driven by a desire to improve the competitiveness of his team.
Indeed, Henry made clear that he opposed the signing, but that he deferred to the desire of baseball operations to add a player who could impact the team’s on-field competitiveness.
“[Crawford was] definitely a baseball signing. In fact, anyone involved in the process, anyone in upper management with the Red Sox will tell you that I personally opposed that,” said Henry. “We had plenty of left-handed hitting. I don’t have to go into why. I’ll just tell you that at the time I opposed the deal, but I don’t meddle to the point of making decisions for our baseball team. … It wasn’t a PR move. Neither was the [Adrian] Gonzalez signing.”
…I don’t have to go into why. I’ll just tell you that at the time I opposed the deal, but I don’t meddle to the point of making decisions for our baseball team…
Maybe Crawford was “too street” for ol’ John Henry? And, yes, I’m kidding.

I searched Iceberg, which is a super database that aggregates content from many of our databases. Iceberg is available by clicking on "Databases" under the word "Research" on the Library's home web page. I started with the keyword terms "heart transplant*" and "psych*" to see what articles appear. The "*" after a word is a wildcard symbol that will retrieve any words with that root, so "psych*" will pick up words like "psychology", "psychological", etc.
This search retieved a number of interesting articles. When viewing the more detailed records of some of the seemingly more relevant articles, I began to see words like "emotional", "depression", "stress" and "anxiety". I then tried some new searches pairing "heart transplant*" with "emotion*", "depression", etc. to see if any of those combinations retrieved any new, revelant articles that didn't appear in the first search.
Additionally, some of the articles contained subject terms or phrases like "HEART -- Transplantation" and "PSYCHOLOGICAL aspects", which can create a more precise search for more targeted results. To use subject terms, you can either select "SU Subject Terms" from the drop down list under "Select a Field (optional)" or simply block, copy and paste the subject terms you want to use including the "DE" prefix that appears in the detailed information about that article. So you entry would be "DE HEART -- Transplantation" and "DE "PSYCHOLOGICAL aspects".
I don't know if you need to limit your search to a particular date range, but there are filters for doing that on the left hand side of the search page. You can also limit to full text articles, peer reviewed journals, etc. Once you retrieve a full text article that is of interest to you, you can download it to your computer.
Beyond Iceberg, you can search additional databases in the psychology or medical subject fields by selecting a subject area under the words "Databases by Subject" on the left hand side of the page once you click on "databases" on the Library home page, if you still need more articles. Although most of the databases we can access are already included in Iceberg, some like Medline" are not and could yield additional unique results.

The Supervisory Board of FMC AG & Co. KGaA advises and supervises the business activities as conducted by the General Partner and performs the other duties assigned to it by law and by the Articles of Association. It is involved in strategy and planning as well as all matters of fundamental importance for the Company.
Simultaneous membership in both the Supervisory Board and the Management Board is not permissible. In the year under review, the Supervisory Board did not include any members who were also members of the Management Board of the General Partner during the previous two years. The members of the Company’s Supervisory Board are independent in their decisions and are not bound by requirements or instructions of third parties.
The Supervisory Board of FMC AG & Co. KGaA consisted in the year under review of the following members: Dr. Dieter Schenk (Chairman), Mr. Rolf A. Classon (Vice Chairman), Mr. William P. Johnston, Dr. Dorothea Wenzel (since May 16, 2019), Ms. Pascale Witz and Professor Dr. Gregor Zünd. The members of the Supervisory Board of FMC AG & Co. KGaA are introduced here. There is also information on their term of office on the Company's Supervisory Board.
Because of his extraordinary contributions to the Company’s development and his comprehensive experience, Dr. Ben Lipps is also honorary chairman of the Supervisory Board of FMC AG & Co. KGaA.
All members of the Company’s Supervisory Board are elected by the General Meeting of FMC AG & Co. KGaA as the competent election body according to the provisions of the German Stock Corporation Act by a simple majority of the votes cast. Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA is excluded from voting on this issue (further explanations on this matter can be found under “Further Information regarding Corporate Governance” in the section titled “Shareholders”).
Profile of skills and expertise
The Supervisory Board is in its own initiative paying attention to the requirement to have in its entirety the knowledge, capabilities and professional expertise required for the due observation of the duties of the Supervisory Board of a listed company operating internationally in the dialysis business and has resolved a profile of skills and expertise for the entire Supervisory Board. The profile of skills and expertise contains requirements for the individual Supervisory Board members as well as requirements for the entire Supervisory Board and is available here.
When discussing its recommendations for the election of members of the Supervisory Board to the General Meeting, the Supervisory Board considers, within the framework of the profile of skills and expertise as determined by it, in particular the international activities of the enterprise, potential conflicts of interest, what it considers to be an adequate number of independent Supervisory Board members and diversity. As the composition of the Supervisory Board needs to be aligned with the interests of the enterprise and must ensure the effective supervision and consultation of the Management Board, it is, however, a matter of principle and of prime importance that each member is suitably qualified. In the Company's interest to have the widest selection of qualified candidates possible, the Supervisory Board, with a view to specific objectives for its composition and in compliance with its statutory obligations (section 111 para. 5 German Stock Corporation Act) commits itself to pursue self-defined targets for the representation of female Supervisory Board members (see also section “Gender diversity and targets”) and, for the time being, refrains from an age limit and from a duration limit on the term of membership on the Supervisory Board. Instead, the Supervisory Board shall also consist of members with long-term experience and thus individuals who are generally older in order to ensure a balanced ratio of Supervisory Board members of diverse age and various terms of membership. Therefore, with the exception of the determination of target figures for women’s share on the Supervisory Board, the Supervisory Board has refrained from determining, and from taking into account, specific objectives with respect to its composition when proposing candidates and from publishing the state of the implementation of such specific objectives in the Corporate Governance Report.
As a consequence of the election of Dr. Dorothea Wenzel on May 16, 2019 two of the six Supervisory Board members are female. The share of female Supervisory Board members hence, at the end of the year under view, exceeds the target of 30% as set by the Supervisory Board for its composition. The current composition of the Supervisory Board meets the aims designated for the composition of the board and corresponds to the resolved profile of skills and expertise.
The Supervisory Board has determined, taking into account the shareholder structure, that it considers at least four independent Supervisory Board members to be an adequate number of independent members.
A member of the Supervisory Board is not to be considered independent pursuant to the recommendation in number 5.4.2 of the Code 2017 in particular if it entertains any personal or business relations with the Company, its corporate bodies, a controlling shareholder or an enterprise associated with the latter which may cause a substantial and not merely temporary conflict of interests. Independent within the meaning of the recommendation of number 5.4.2 of the Code 2017 are, in the view of the Supervisory Board, Mr. Rolf A. Classon, Mr. William P. Johnston, Dr. Dorothea Wenzel, Ms. Pascale Witz and Professor Dr. Gregor Zünd.
According to the recommendation C.7 of the Code 2020, more than half of the members of the Supervisory Board shall be independent from the Company and the Management Board. Members of the Supervisory Board are to be considered independent from the Company and its Management Board if they have no personal or business relationship with the Company or its Management Board that may cause a substantial – and not merely temporary – conflict of interest. When assessing the independence of members of the Supervisory Board from the Company and its Management Board, the Supervisory Board shall particularly take into consideration whether the respective member of the Supervisory Board member itself or a close family member was a member of the Company's Management Board in the two years prior to appointment, is currently maintaining (or has maintained) a material business relationship with the Company or one of the entities dependent upon the company (e.g. as customer, supplier, lender or advisor) in the year up to his/her appointment, directly or as a shareholder, or in a leading position of a non-group entity, or is a close family member of a Management Board member, or has been a member of the Supervisory Board for more than twelve years. Independent within the meaning of the recommendation C.7 of the Code 2020 are, in the view of the Supervisory Board, Mr. Rolf A. Classon, Mr. William P. Johnston, Dr. Dorothea Wenzel, Ms. Pascale Witz and Professor Dr. Gregor Zünd. The Supervisory Board did not need to consider the question of whether Dr. Dieter Schenk and Mr. William P. Johnston are to be regarded as independent within the meaning of the recommendation C.7 of the Code 2020 in view of their term of office on the Supervisory Board of the Company of more than 12 years, because the number of those Supervisory Board members who have been members of the Supervisory Board for no more than 12 years and are otherwise to be qualified as independent already complies with the recommendation C.7 of the Code 2020.
Details on the treatment of potential conflicts of interests are set out in the section “Legal relationships with members of the Company’s corporate bodies” below.
The term of office of the members of the Supervisory Board is in principle five years. The current term of office of the incumbent members of the Supervisory Board of FMC AG & Co. KGaA ends at the end of the General Meeting that resolves on the discharge for the fiscal year 2020, i.e. at the end of the Annual General Meeting 2021.
Rules of Procedure
Details on the election, constitution and term of office of the Supervisory Board, its meetings and the adoption of resolutions, as well as its rights and obligations, are set out in the Company’s Articles of Association available on the Company’s website at www.freseniusmedicalcare.com in the “Investors” section. In accordance with the recommendation in number 5.1.3 of the Code 2017 or, respectively, the recommendation D.1 of the Code 2020, the Supervisory Board has furthermore adopted rules of procedure which set out, among other things, the modalities for convening meetings and the manner in which resolutions are adopted. In accordance with these, the Supervisory Board meets regularly at least twice per calendar half year. The convocation period for meetings of the Supervisory Board is generally two weeks. The deliberations of the Supervisory Board are conducted by the Chairman or, if the latter is unavailable, by the Vice Chairman. The Chairman of the meeting also determines the order of the agenda items and the mode of voting. As a rule, the Supervisory Board decides by simple majority of votes cast if decisions are taken in physical meetings and otherwise with the simple majority of its members, unless other majorities are prescribed by a mandatory provision of law in the individual case. The provisions of the rules of procedure for the Supervisory Board of the Company also apply to its committees, unless their rules of procedure contain deviating provisions. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board coordinates the work and direction of the Supervisory Board; he also represents the Supervisory Board vis-à-vis third parties.
In accordance with the recommendation in number 5.6 of the Code 2017 or, respectively, the recommendation D.13 of the Code 2020, the members of the Supervisory Board regularly carry out efficiency evaluations or, respectively, self-assessments with regard to their work. These take place in the form of open discussions in plenary meetings, based on a corresponding questionnaire. On these annual occasions, also the complexity and the design of the presentations, as well as the meetings’ procedure and structuring are discussed. The results of the efficiency evaluations or, respectively, self-assessments carried out have shown that each of the Supervisory Board and its committees are efficiently organized and that the cooperation of the Supervisory Board and the Management Boards works very well.
All members of the Supervisory Board have the capabilities as well as the knowledge required for the proper exercise of their duties. The Supervisory Board members are in their entirety familiar with the sector FMC AG & Co. KGaA operates in. The members of the Supervisory Board regularly update themselves via in-house sources and via external sources about the current status of supervisory requirements. In addition to the information provided to them by several external experts, also experts of the Company’s departments regularly provide reports about relevant developments, such as – for example – relevant new developments in the revision of legal rules or in jurisprudence and also about recent developments in regulations on accounting and annual auditing. In this way, the Supervisory Board, with the Company’s reasonable assistance, ensures an ongoing qualification of its members and also a further development and updating of their expertise, power of judgment and experience, which is required for the Supervisory Board including its committees to duly perform their tasks.
Details of the key activities of the Supervisory Board’s consultations in the year under review can be found in the Report by the Supervisory Board on pages 111 et seqq. of the Annual Report.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday presided over a crucial meeting of the National Security Council.
The meeting was attended by the Chief of Defence, General Gabriel Olonisakin, Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibot-Ete Ibas and the Inspector-General of Police.
Others at the meeting, include the National Security Adviser, Babangana Monguno, and the the Director-General, Department of State State Security, Lawal Daura.
The meeting was the first presided over by the president since he returned to the country, after more than 100 days in London for medical treatment.
Sources say the meeting may be connected with the President’s charge to the security agencies not to relent in their fight against insurgency in his presidential broadcast to the nation on Monday.

- Children and adults
- Pre-prosthetic orthodontics
- Fixed orthodontics devices (conventional and self ligating technique)
- Removable orthodontic devices
- Micro implants
Orthodontics engages in prevention, diagnostics and correcting teeth disarrangment and the adjacent structures. Orthodontic therapy is not a luxury these days it is rather a need that should not be neglected. The results are permanent and provide you with the smile that you have always wanted.
There is no age limit for orthodontic therapy.
It is advisable to visit the orthodontist for the first time at the age of six. At this age the first permanent molar teeth as well as the incisors sprout and different disorders in teeth sprouting may appear (protruded teeth, early loss of baby teeth, long term thumb sucking or some other inadequate habit, speech difficulty, problems with chewing or closing mouth). Orthodontic check ups should occur on a regular basis because of the growth and the development of a child especially if the child has an orthodontic device.
Early loss of baby teeth represents a big problem that has a later malocclusion as a consequence. Therapeutic possibilities with children in puberty are much larger than with the patients that have finished growing. It is possible to correct the teeth using orthodontic techniques with the adults but that does not include the adjacent area except when using surgical procedures.
When talking about the adult orthodontics it often makes a part of interdsciplinary approach. Upon completing the orthodontic therapy patients often need implant-prosthetic solution of substituting formerly lost teeth and surrounding bone structure: „Smile design“, teeth whitening – everything to achieve a beautiful smile.
The duration of orthodontic therapy is individual and it depends on the difficulty of anomaly, metabolism and patient’s motivation.
Orthodontic devices can be classified as fixed and removable. The fixed devices are often used in orthodontics, they are attached to the teeth ( the patient cannot take them off by herself/himself). Removable devices can be put on or taken out according to the orthodontic’s instructions.
Fixed devices are made of wires and braces that are attached to the teeth. Braces can be aesthetic – plastic, composite, ceramic or sapphire one. They are transparent and barely noticeable, adjusted to the teeth shade and cause less aesthetic problems than the metal ones.
There are also metallic braces. Both sorts are attached using a special glue that does not damage the surface of the tooth. The wire is set in the slot of the brace and with its elastic characteristics it creates an orthodontic force that causes teeth to shift.
We also offer a possibility of using micro implants as a part of orthodontic therapy with removable, removable – fixed or fixed devices which serve as a maximal stronghold and provide a faster and better quality therapy goal.
Oral hygene is extremely important in each phase of the orthodontic therapy. A wide range of products intended for the patients can be found on the market. We educate our patients about regular oral hygene, an interdental toothbrush, a tongue scraper and a tooth shower.
After the active phase of therapy using the fixed orthodontic device, a phase of retention follows – keeping and stabilising the teeth in the correct position.
A retainer (transparent mobile brace) should be used according to the exact instruction of the orthodonic specialist.
Depending on the initial sort of anomaly, the patients are advised to use the so called fixed retention. It is attached to the inside part of the teeth and it is acceptable aesthetically since it cannot be seen and it doesn’t make a problem when eating or talking. This phase of the therapy is very important and the patient is informed about it in detail.
The correct therapy carried out in the patient- doctor cooperation gives excellent results.

Geneva – Earlier today, the Durban Review Conference outcome document was adopted by consensus. This is highly unusual for U.N. conferences. Generally, they are designed to culminate with the adoption of the outcome document on the last day. Implausibly, the Durban II president declared that this was a triumph of engagement and chastised the countries that boycotted the conference.
In reality, it is a testament to the fear of U.N. officials and many member countries that, with President Ahmadinejad’s speech looming over the conference, things would only get worse the longer it went on. Adopting the text early minimizes chances that it will deteriorate and allowed the conference to be declared a success.
The rest of the week will be filled with countries making prepared statements and NGOs voicing their thoughts – all for essentially no real reason since the purpose of the conference has already been achieved.
Interestingly, however, the adoption of the outcome document has not led countries to tone down their comments. Quite the opposite in fact:
- Minutes after the adoption of the Durban outcome document, Yemen accused Israel of genocide.
- Sudan, complicit in massive human rights abuses perpetrated by Arab tribesmen against black African pastoralists in Darfur, claimed with a strait face to be opposed to all forms of racism and discrimination while simultaneously accusing Israel of conducting a racist military campaign in Gaza.
- Cuba stated that racism and racial discrimination is a “scourge [that] has a greater impact and impunity in the countries from the rich and industrialized North” that is facilitated by the Internet which enables a “freedom of incitement to hate, discrimination and violence” — acts that should be made “illegal and punished by law.” Reaching back in time, Cuba called for a “new international economic order” to ensure “solidarity and social justice”. In an, apparently, unintentionally ironic moment, Cuba claimed that “all Cubans, men and women, with no exception enjoy the same rights without discrimination of any kind.” One could say that they enjoy very few rights at all.
Although the clear intent of quickly wrapping up the debate on the Durban II outcome document was to end the embarrassment, it appears that Durban II is an endless font of controversy.

All good things must come to an end, friends. All good ships must eventually be relegated to the bottom of the sea. And so it is, this week, for the Pandies. This week we watch Homecoming, in which Pacey (with the help of Joey) sneaks Andie out of her temporary refuge, and back to the chaos of Capeside. However, things aren’t as he left them with his girlfriend, and he soon finds out that her emotional state wasn’t the only thing getting worked over during her months away. Meanwhile, Dawson is inexplicably embroiled in a sexy fling with the young Eve, which is ridiculous and insane, but fun enough to watch. And Jackers is dealing with the reunification of his family, and the failings of his father. Jen is also in this episode, spending most of it in a tattered Capeside Minutemen cheerleader outfit, so the ep has that going for it as well. We enjoyed this trip back to early 3rd season, and we hope you enjoy the ride with us. Now is the time, hit play. Do it, DO IT NOW! WHAD AH YOU WAIDING FOAH?

Yes Man Movie Review
Jim Carrey should have said no to the threadbare script. The tireless comedian has shown he could wring laughs out of one-note pitches like Bruce Almighty, Liar, Liar, or the Ace Ventura films. But the three credited Yes Man screenwriters cook up the flimsiest comedic premise of Carrey's career -- a non-committal loan officer enters a motivational program that permits him from turning anything down -- then forget to back it up with humor, emotional conflict or, you know, an actual plot.
And the 46-year-old comedian really should have said no to the casting of adorable, doe-eyed Zooey Deschanel as his free-spirited love interest. Ironically, these two share a birthday -- January 17. But it's separated by 18 years. I'm not suggesting Deschanel is young enough to play Carrey's daughter in a film. Perhaps she could play his niece. Either way, the age difference renders their Yes Man romance implausible. And creepy.
But that's consistent with the rest of director Peyton Reed's unfocused string of unfeasible situations and warmed-over stock Carrey bits. Perhaps you still roar when the comedian manipulates his rubbery face into a Quasimodo mask using Scotch tape. Or maybe you've longed for the day when Carrey would serenade a suicidal Luis Guzman with the Third Eye Blind song, "Jumper." I'm not even sure that would have been funny 11 years ago, when the song first came out. And yes, the crowd gathered on the street below does join in for a sing-along chorus, because Reed never misses the opportunity to hammer home an obvious joke.
Since you won't be laughing at the film's lame skits, you have plenty of time to ask a series of question. Does the great Fionnula Flanagan so desperately need work that she'll agree to play a horny landlord who pops her teeth out before performing oral sex on Carrey and his friends? Have you seen more shameless product placement on screen this year that the advertisements-in-a-movie crammed throughout Yes Man? Does Warner feel a little dirty hawking its Harry Potter and 300 franchises in this laughless dud? And most importantly, would any of the events unfolding in Yes Man ever happen in real life under any circumstances?
Contrary to the title, the answer is no.
Corn is the new foam finger.

Masonic tradition informs us that the lambskin apron is more ancient than the Golden Fleece. Ancient being the operative word, just what exactly does that implication imply and how is the Golden Fleece remembered in more contemporary times as it may relate to the apron given to the newly raised entered apprentice?
In Greek tradition, the fleece of the Ram Chrysomallus, was the object of Jason and the Argonauts expedition.
The mythological story of the Golden Fleece begins in the telling of the story about Phrixus and Helle who were the children of the goddess Nephele (a cloud nymph) and Athamus. The two part ways allowing Athamas to remarry Ino, who, in turn, becomes jealous of her step children, Phrixus and Helle, hatching a plot to do them in. Ino destroys a seed crop and then sends messengers to consult with the oracle at Delphi on what to do. To put her plan into motion, Ino persuading the messengers to return from the Oracles with prophecy that to restore the fertility of the fields Phrixus would need to be sacrificed.
Nephele, seeing the ruse, sends a golden ram to rescue her children, losing daughter Helle in the process as she falls into the Hellespont (known today as Dardanelles, which is a narrow strait in northwestern Turkey connecting the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara). Phrixus, makes the trip safely arriving at Colchis where he marries the daughter of King Aeetes. In celebration of the rescue and the marriage, Phrixus sacrificed the winged golden fleeced ram to Poseidon returning its soul to the deity in turn creating the constellation Aries.
In his appreciation, Phricus gives the pelt (the Golden Fleece) to Aeetes, the king of Colchis, who placed the in an oak tree defended by bulls with hoofs of brass and breath of fire. It was also guarded by a dragon with teeth which could become warriors when planted in the ground. Here it remained until Jason and his band of Argonauts arrived to claim it.
So goes the story of the Ancient Golden Fleece. Thought to be the oldest of Greek poems, Argonautica Orphica, and the telling of Jason’s quest to capture the Fleece appears to originate somewhere in the 5th or 6th century CE. The Hellenistic epic Argonautica dates to a period of the 3rd century BCE.
Wells, in his Builder article on the subject, mentions a knightly order called the Order of the Golden Fleece which was a celebrated Order of Knighthood in Austria and Spain, founded by Philip III, Duke of Burgundy and the Netherlands, at Bruges, on the tenth of January, 1429, on the occasion of his marriage with Isabella, daughter of King John I. of Portugal.
This Order was instituted for the protection of the Roman Catholic Church, and the fleece was assumed for its emblem, from being a staple commodity of the Low Countries. The founder made himself Grand Master of the Order, a dignity appointed to descend to his successors; and the number of knights, at first limited to twenty-four, was subsequently increased.
Contests arose between Spain and Austria as to the possession of this Order of Knighthood, which were finally adjusted by introducing the Order into both countries. In Austria the Emperor may now create any number of Knights of the Golden Fleece from the nobility. If Protestants, the consent of the Pope is required. In Spain, Princes, Grandees, and personages of peculiar merit are alone eligible to membership in this Order.
It’s said that the Duke’s stated reason for founding the Order was:
for the reverence of God and the maintenance of our Christian Faith, and to honor and exalt the noble order of knighthood, and also …to do honor to old knights; …so that those who are at present still capable and strong of body and do each day the deeds pertaining to chivalry shall have cause to continue from good to better; and .. so that those knights and gentlemen who shall see worn the order … should honor those who wear it, and be encouraged to employ themselves in noble deeds…
An interesting biography exists on the Order through an association, La Confrérie Amicale de la Toison d’Or, dedicated to preserve its history. It says of the Order that the the meaning behind the use of the Fleece goes deeper than merely being a Hero’s Quest, saying,
It is clear from the icon of Jason on the early Golden Fleece insignia that the daring voyage of the Argo to bring back the sacred Golden Fleece from the edge of man’s known world touched Philipp deeply and helped inspire his dreams. The Argonauts were few in number, carefully selected for their nobility and talents and dedicated to the most noble of causes that also held religious and humanitarian importance. It is these values that we see in the statutes of the Order of the Golden Fleece.
Given the use in the degree as an ancient symbol, it seems unlikely that the knightly order is the point of reference within the Masonic degree. More likely is the mention of the fleece in the aspect of the Hero’s Quest, including allegories to jealousy, selfishness and sacrifice.
Wells goes on, saying,
The legend of the Golden Fleece, for which the Argonauts searched, is like the story of Masonry, a search for that which was lost. It is familiar to most readers of poetry and myths, and is interesting as being among the first known voyages of discovery.
Interestingly, Jason went on the quest for the Fleece in order to reclaim his kingdom from Pelias, an almost Biblical parallel to the story of Moses suggesting a deeper borrowing of Greek tradition in the writing of the Old Testament narrative.
Albert Mackey, in his Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences (1914), says of the Fleece that it is “…evidently not to the Argonautic expedition in search of the golden fleece, nor to the deluge…but to certain decorations of honor with which the apron is compared” suggesting instead that the “…Order of the Golden Fleece was of high repute as an Order of Knighthood. It was established in Flanders, in 1429, by the Duke of Burgundy, who selected the fleece for its badge because wool was the staple production of the country. It has ever been considered…one of the most illustrious Orders in Europe” making it the “the highest decoration that can be bestowed upon a subject by a sovereign of Great Britain. But the Masons may have been also influenced in their selection of a reference to the Golden Fleece, by the fact that in the Middle Ages it was one of the most important symbols of the Hermetic philosophers.”
Interesting here that Mackey traces the distinction of the Fleece to the chivalric order and not the more widespread mythology of the ancient world. One line of thought that deserves greater exploration is the importance of the Golden Fleece to the Hermetic philosophers and what, if any connections that bears to Freemasonry.
As an aside, there is some (Masonic) suggestion that the Golden Fleece story suggests the bringing of sheep husbandry, grain, or wisdom to Greece from the east or the panning for gold with sheep’s wool in the ancient world.
The Golden Fleece has made its way into the material culture such that it exists in several iterations in film and in video games. In the World of Warcraft MMORPG universe as a unique drop trinket that “May cause extra gold to drop whenever you kill a target that yields experience or honor and is a sign of wealth and status amongst the Saurok.” which perhaps supports the notion of it being a symbol of authority and kingship. It also made an appearance in the game God of War II where it can be seen hanging from the mouth of a cursed Cerberus that had devoured Jason.
The quest for the fleece was also the subject in the 2013 film Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. In the film, the teen Argonauts quest to find the Golden Fleece (with the power to heal anything) to rescue their diefic haven from oblivion.
In a more modern parlance for those wanting to undertake the quest for the ancient wool, artists Piotr Khrisanov and Jakov Matusovski have recreated the mythical Golden Fleece in Sochi, Russia. The monument aims to bring back the symbol of prosperity to the Black Sea town near where Jason and his crew went searching for the fleece in Caucasus. Made of bronze and covered in a layer of gold, it’s suggested that it weighs roughly 5 tons. A sister monument will be erected in the Greek city of Volos, which is believed to be where the Argonauts had set out for their campaign.
However you look at the Golden Fleece, in past or present telling, it still remains an emblem younger than the apron of a Mason.

For my 200th post I wanted to do something special, but alas it’s something I haven’t done in awhile. A rant and rave. Just like the “good ole’ days.” Also, May 19th is the two year anniversary of my blog. WOW! Never thought I’d be doing it this long. I’m proud of what I’ve written. So many different topics, randomness, and spazziness to be sure. I’ve gone back and read a few and have to laugh. When I started this it was to help me with my writing and it has. I feel I’ve grown a bit during this time and hopefully I’ll be writing more.
Sometimes watching tv you miss a show and when you finally do watch it, it’s like, “Holy crap why haven’t I watched this before?” Well actually, in the case of The Big Bang Theory I have. I’ve laughed my ass off so many times. Not only is it funny, it has a bit of romantic comedy about it. The series is about these two genius’ (Leonard & Sheldon) that live across the hall from a beautiful young woman (Penny). Of course, Leonard is smitten with Penny. Penny is soon becomes part of their social group that includes Raj and Howard. Howard goes to great lengths to pick up women while Raj has trouble talking to them unless he’s drinking alcohol. Sheldon is a condescending sort who is perpetually who is inept in all matters of social graces.
As time goes by,Howard and Sheldon both attain girlfriends. Howard ends up meeting a woman that Penny knows by the name of Bernadette, while Sheldon is introduced to Amy, who is a female version of himself. Though their relationship is platonic, Amy loosens up and is trying to get Sheldon to. (I also suspect she has a crush on Penny.) Leonard and Penny date, break up, and began dating again. The reason for their break up is that Leonard tells Penny he loves her. While Penny obviously feels the same way, she can’t come out and say it. Finally, two years later they begin dating again. (Penny tells Sheldon a few episodes before that she couldn’t express how she felt about Leonard and that she regretted it, though Leonard’s name was never brought up. She finally does tell him without realizing it. One of the best moments of the series. (Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny, admitted that she cried alot before, during, and after filming the episode because it was so powerful. The tears that she sheds in the episode are real.)
They say something big is happening in the season finale between them. I’ll post the update when it happens. All in all, a great show.
After twenty-four games, the Cardinals are doing fairly good. They should be better. A report of their first twenty-seven games will be appearing soon. That’s 1/6 of the way into the season. A link to all of the games reviews are at the top of the blog. I’ll be doing a similar blog on the Rams when football season starts.
I’m currently working on the next chapter of the Sword of Aranus. It’ll be posted soon.
Also,check out my All-Time Baseball teams, also located at the top. I loved to research and at times doing baseball research is fun and a pain.
Anyway, thanks for reading this.

So, as promised -- or threatened -- Cesca's response to my Banter piece is now up.
I thought I made it pretty clear in my column that I wasn't drawing a one-to-one correlation between Michael Moore and Todd Akin and that, regardless, it was important to apply the same standard across the board, no matter the subject or person, when you're doling out criticism. That to me just makes sense. I also thought I made it clear that I'm not completely beholden to any one political party or slant, therefore, while I absolutely understand political reality and try to keep it in mind at all times, I don't beat myself up too harshly if I say something that's critical of liberals or the liberal mindset. Taking a shot in the direction of the left, when it's deserved, doesn't automatically mean that I'm doing something that benefits the right; thinking it does is the worst kind of crass reductionism and it tips a hand to the traditional, and insidious, liberal intelligentsia trait of paternalistically trying to protect the ignorant unwashed from jumping to the wrong conclusion. Apparently, though, Bob feels much differently about all of the above and more.
Anyway, while I know there are those expecting me to continue this little back-and-forth, I'm out. I spoke my piece and I see no need to say anything else about it. If you can't figure out the point I was making, or simply don't agree, then there's nothing else I can say to elucidate or convince you.
I will say this, though: While I went out of my way to temper my remarks, as I always do when I disagree with someone I consider a friend, Cesca, in my opinion, showed me no such courtesy. And yes, I'm a little pissed about it.

SWEET HOME, Ore. – A suspect was arrested after a shooting in Sweet Home on Tuesday.
Authorities said it happened in the area of 49th Avenue and Long Street.
Officers responded to the scene at about 9:30 and found Grady Nading, 35, with a gunshot wound.
David Johnson, 64, of Sweet Home was arrested and charged with assault and unlawful use of a weapon.
Witnesses said Johnson had threatened family members of Nading with a knife, and Nading reportedly went to Johnson’s home to confront him. According to reports, Johnson fired three shots with a handgun while Nading was on the street. He was hit in the shoulder.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor.

CBS hit for $1.2m over Chinese censorware
Net sitter firm files chicken feed damages demand
Solid Oak Software has hit media giant CBS with a demand for $1.2m, after the media giant's tech subsidiary posted downloads of the Chinese government's Green Dam Youth Escort software.
Green Dam was the centrepiece of Beijing's abortive effort to force PC manufacturers to preload filtering software that would protect young Chinese from porn - and vile Western ideas such as democracy.
However, it quickly emerged that chunks of the package had been lifted from Solid Oak's Cybersitter package, including blacklists and documentation.
This week's complaint repeats these claims, saying that Green Dam lifted approximately 3000 lines of code from Cybersitter.
It goes on to allege "that CBS is responsible for distributing numerous copies of the infringing Green Dam software throughout the United States, China and elsewhere by making the infringing software available for download on its website ZDNet China."
In its complaint, it says CBS carried the software to "promote its website, generate web traffic and advertising revenues, and gain increased access to the vast Chinese-speaking market." The suit claims stats on ZDNet China showed Green Dam had been downloaded more than 31,000 times.
Solid Oak said it was seeking over $1.2m in damages - $39.99 per copy - as well as "injunctive relief to prevent CBS from further distribution of the infringing software."
Back in June when Green Dam first started to crack, Santa Barbara-based Solid Oak said it would seek an injunction against the Chinese developers, but it was inevitable that it would get more redress by going after PC vendors and distributors who had made the Chinese software available.
But in the world of tech lawsuits, $1.2m is chicken feed. The firm doesn't even seem to be claiming for distress, hurt feelings, etc., suggesting it genuinely reckons it has been damaged to the tune of $1.2m.
However, more legal action seems to be in the offing, with Solid Oak adding ominously that "this is the first lawsuit that Solid Oak has filed with respect to the infringement of its copyrights in CYBERsitter by the Green Dam program."
China eventually put the Green Dam effort on ice and then scaled it back - but that didn't stop PC vendors, including US manufacturers, from shipping the software anyway. ®

Hill Country Red Okra
These plump, red and green pods have a rich, delicious okra flavor. In my field, they grew to above average heights of 8-feet tall on thick, deep-red stems, and produced for months! Hill Country Red Okra is said to have originated in the eastern portion of the mostly limestone Edwards Plateau in west-central Texas—also known as Texas Hill Country. This area has a large German population and influence, which meant they opposed secession from the Union during the Civil War, and also meant introducing the accordion to Tejano music. Okra is probably from West Africa, though some claim Ethiopia as the origin. Many believe enslaved Africans hid okra seeds in their hair on the forced journey across the Atlantic. Certainly, this crop is a taste of home for people of the African Diaspora. My partner Chris (another Truelove Seeds farmer based at the Sankofa Farm at Bartram's Garden) is from Mississippi and is an okra fanatic. This is his favorite variety hands-down, but cannot commit to growing only one type, so I isolated this crop to produce true seed.
Days to maturity: 60-70
Seeds per pack: 40
Germination rate: 87% on 01/24/2022
Planting / harvesting notes
Sow seeds of this heat-loving plant indoors 2-3 weeks before transplanting, which should happen several weeks after the last frost, or when soil temperatures stay above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Soak seeds overnight for quicker germination, and plant 3/4" deep. Space 18" in rows 12-18" apart. Beds should be at least 3' apart as plants tend to bush out widely. Okra likes fertile, well-drained soil with added compost.
We harvest and eat this okra when the pods are 2-3" long and still tender. You can harvest it up to 5-6", but may find them a bit woody. Can be eaten red or green! When growing new varieties of okra, we encourage harvesting at all different stages until you get a sense of the best size for eating. We even eat them raw in the field as a test!
Seed keeping notes
Okra is insect pollinated. Isolate different okra varieties by at least 1/8th of a mile (or up to 1/2 mile if you are truly concerned about seed purity) to avoid unwanted cross pollination. Allow pods to grow large and turn brown and woody (your neighbors may look at you funny). When you can hear the seeds rattle, harvest the pod and allow it to dry further on trays in the sun in a dry place. Remove seeds and use breath, wind, or fans to remove bits of chaff.

|Some of this year's peaches|
Autumn is here!
At this time of year, my mind always turns to CANNING.
My favorite (and my family's favorite) things for us to can are:
- Zucchini Relish
- Apple Pie Filling
- Apple Sauce
You would think that our friends would avoid our house during this time. But in reality, they would bug us and beg us to let them know when our mom was ready to can each year.
There's nothing like good old work to bring a community together! :-)
Of course, there are other ways to preserve nature's bounty.
- Freezing- We freeze the juice from our citrus trees.
- Drying- My mom makes some killer fruit leather, and my husband's grandmother dries lots of vegetables to put in soups.
I'd love to hear all about your traditions in the Fall. :-)

It’s been almost a month since Sasha Banks last wrestled and apart from one statement WWE has mostly been quite about the former Women’s Champion’s condition.
The latest update on her situation comes from Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet who revealed via a tweet that Banks is actually dealing with back injury:
Heard from a source that Sasha Banks is dealing with a back injury, but I’m not sure how serious it is. Have had trouble getting more info or additional confirmation from sources.
— Ryan Satin (@ryansatin) October 11, 2018
Though as seen in the tweet, even Satin failed to provide more details on her status, so it’s hard to say if Sasha will return to action anytime soon or not.
Sasha Banks has been out of action for almost a month, and the only official word on her status came three weeks ago when WWE announced that she is being pulled from Mixed Match Challenge due to health-related issues.
There has been no major update on her ever since and at this point it’s not known if she will be fit enough to wrestle at the upcoming Evolution PPV later this month.

Yesterday, Amazon extended the pre-order period available to indies from 90 days to 360. Woo HOO! I listed Dragon’s Heart right away, so you can order your copy at Amazon if that’s your portal of choice.
Dragon shifter Rhys follows the spark of the firestorm to his destined mate. He finds a selkie in distress, and is determined to defend her against Maeve’s plan, whether the firestorm is genuine or not. But how will he protect Lila when he can’t follow her into the ocean’s depths—yet Maeve and the Dark Fae can? Lila fears that Rhys is like all other men and just wants to control her—she’s vowed to never repeat that mistake again, but the firestorm’s power undermines everything she believes to be true. Could Rhys be Maeve’s pawn? How will Lila choose between her own kind and the dragon shifter who imperils himself to see her safe, even when out of his element?
