My daughter's Citrus Lane box arrived today. Her box this month is for a 15 month old girl, so other boxes may have different items since they are age/gender appropriate. I'm always so excited for this box to arrive and my daughter loves it too!
The first item was a Charley Harper ABCs book from AMMO books. This is a very nice, quality book that my daughter is going to love looking at. The illustrations are great!I love this!
The next item was a Zebra Push & Pull toy from Hape. My daughter will love this!I've been looking for a pull toy for awhile now, but haven't bought one yet, so I was very happy to see this included in our box this month. It's small enough for her to grasp and will be fun for her to pull or push around. And it's super cute!
The last item was the "mommy" item. I was so excited to see this Nail Color from Julep in Coco-It Girl. It's a beautiful deep reddish brown color that will be perfect for fall. And a girl can never have enough nail polish, right?
Yet another month that Citrus Lane has made me and my daughter very happy. They consistently provide great products!Can't wait to see what we get in October...

The 2021/2022 Flu Season – All You Need to Know
By Qured’s Dr Kishan Vithlani
The flu is a common virus, typically in the population during the colder months. The flu is caused by the Influenza virus. It results in mainly upper respiratory symptoms, affecting the nose and throat, often causing a cough, sore throat, and a runny or blocked nose. It can sometimes cause lower respiratory symptoms which affects to the above, it will also cause the symptoms which are common to nearly all viruses; fever, body aches and pains, tiredness and headacheFlu and Covid based on symptoms alone.
As they are both viruses, they both cause the common viral symptoms mentioned above in addition to symptom. Although the viruses that cause both illnesses are highly contagious, Covid appears to spread more easily and can cause more serious illnesses. It has also been found that Covid appears to take longerat was the impact of the flu last year?
In the 2020/21 season, there were extremely low levels of influenza across the UK, with an absence of the usual winter spike in rates. Compared to an average over the past 5 years, the most recent levels were at a record low throughout the flu season. This is due to the impact of national lockdowns, social distancing guidance, public health messaging regarding hand hygiene and infection control, and wearing of face coverings along with very little international travel.
These measures were implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic but there was also a change in health behaviours that helped reduce the risk of getting the flu. One of the most effective changes in health behaviours to prevent flu was a record high uptake of flu vaccinations. However, due to this record low level of the flu, there is concern around the potential impact this may have on the 2021/22 flu season.
Due to the very low flu infection rates over the past year, there has been very low virus-induced immunity from influenza strains. This means that we have not had a ‘top up’ of antibodies from natural infection and as a result, we may see more people become infected. In addition to this, we may also see more serious illness and hospitalisation rather than the usual mild illness that most of us have experienced in the past. This same concept applies to most of the other winter respiratory viruses but illness from flu can be reduced by early vaccination.
Flu vaccines work similarly to most other vaccines which is by causing the immune system to mount a response to it and subsequently produce antibodies. These antibodies will help toand therefore help reduce the risk of getting the infection or reduce the severity of the illness when infected. Once vaccinated it takes around two weeks for you to benefit from the vaccination. This is all very similar to that of the Covid vaccine.
The flu vaccine is given annually as the influenza viruses constantly adapt by making small genetic changes and as a result, the new vaccines have to ensure protection is delivered for the most up to date strain. Vaccinations from previous years are unlikely to provide any protection against the new strains.
Who should take the flu vaccine? Is it just older and vulnerable people who should take it, or this year should we all look to take the jab?
There are however specific groups of people that are routinely encouraged to have a vaccine and are invited by their GP. This includes:
Those aged 6 months to 65 years in at-risk groups which includes people with the below chronic illnesses:
Neurological disease including learning disability
Diseases causing immunosuppression
Splenectomy, sickle cell anaemia or coeliac disease
Obesity with a BMI of 40 and above

On what basis?Who decides what is unjust?If local politicians are incapable of determining what constitutes injustice, then why do we trust politicians at the federal level?
"In sum, a well-balanced, thoughtful judiciary matters in our kind of democracy to help weed through our situations. "
Again, where does this come from?Why is it desirable to have unelected judges weed through our situations?Newt is not arguing that we should eliminate the judiciary, or that it should be staffed incompetently, so what distinction are you drawing, here?

But this begs the great question raised by Kevin: If people are corruptible, if legislators, executives, and judges all alike cannot be trusted to always act in the interests of the governed, on what basis then can anyone determine whether good laws have been written, or good judgments made, or orders fairly and reasonably carried out, where there is no external reference point for what constitutes "the good?

Mitchell Museum director says she left over timetable
January 24, 2008|By Charles Storch, Tribune reportercompleted its first year of independence from Kendall College but not without suffering a significant casualty.
Janice Klein, who led the museum since 1999, said she resigned Dec. 1 because the museum board "wanted to proceed with some long-term projects in a timetable and way that I disagreed with." She declined to identify the projects.
But Trish Barr, the board's secretary, denied there was a dispute with Klein. "We did not ask for her resignation. She did not have a bad review," Barr said.
The museum and its board are making their way after being affiliated for 30 years with Kendall. That relationship was tested when Kendall moved from Evanston to Chicago in 2004; it finally ended on Jan. 1, 2007.
Barr said the board, which had served in an advisory capacity under Kendall, is adjusting to its governing role. Frances Hagemann, a Native American who joined the board last April, was elected its president in December. Barr added that prospects for the museum are bright and thatshortly.
Founding father: The Committee on Social Thought, a cent since 1941, often is associated with such eminent former members as Hannah Arendt, Saul Bellow, Allan Bloom, J.M. Coetzee, T.S. Eliot, Friederich Hayek, Edward Levi and Mark Strand. Now, new recognition is coming to John Nef, the late historian who was the driving force behind the committee's founding and its steadfast financial backer.
U. of C. said it is naming the committee after Nef in gratitude for nearly $9 million in cumulative gifts made by him and his widow, Evelyn Stefansson Nef. She continued to support the committee after her husband died in 1988.
The committee was founded by John Nef with help from and then-U. of C. President Robert Hutchins. It brings together scholars from various fields to teach graduate students "precision of scholarship" and an ""

This particular mistake is the worst one here. First and foremost, you may be in violation of CAN-SPAM or other laws that you must adhere to for email sending, so you’re going to need to contact your make a potential apology easier, segment out your former opt outs from the rest of the database, then send that opt out file to your legal team for review. They’ll have to be the final word on what to do about those opted out prospects, to ensure you continue to be legally compliant when it comes to your email sending.
That’s it for today! Next up, we’ll be talking about some best practices for apology resolution. Have you seen a really good email apology recently? Tweet it to me over @holobachgirl! </s> I'm at a point in my life where I feel like I should be doing more. I should be accomplished and have "experiences" yet here I am in my apartment huddled up like a hermit.😟 I guess I'm feeling this way due to seeing some of my family members my age graduating from university. It makes me wonder if that should be me. I know I'm currently working toward a better future for myself so I need too stop comparing. I have a problem with being envious and I need to work on it because I know being this way has/will hold me back. Also I'm trying too focus on what I'm doing now in terms of goals. I'm doing things now I never dreamed I'd be able to do. I'm molding myself into the person I've always wanted to be it's just going to take time. Until then I'm going to keep writing my book, working out, and watching Korean beauty gurus/vloggers (i'm literally addicted😂). </s> The firsare behind us and we now look forward to this weekend’s Premier League action. At TKTG we have studied the squads and match-ups to bring you our Fantasy Football picks for th85.
Look out for some changes at Chelsea this week with Mata and Moses probably coming in as Oscar seemed to have a picked up a minor knock in midweek. In the meantime, Eden Hazard should remain in the starting eleven and is a no-brainer even if he only gave a minimal return last week. The London club’s defensive cohesion has been improving with each game and it should be able to easily deal with misfiring Stoke. A win and a clean sheet are both likely for Di Matteo’s team and Ivanovic is the best pick from his defenders. On the other hand, if Stoke are to pull a surprise at Stamford Bridge, Crouch and Walters are the probable architects.
The Saints have been very unlucky to still not have a single point to their name despite playing progressive football and scoring a few goals. Their form can only improve over the next 5 games as 3 of them will be at home so Puncheon and Lambert could prove valuable if you are looking for cheap options to complement your star picks. Bannan is the standout point-scorer from Villa this season but Bent should find his scoring touch sooner or later and, against a porous Southampton defence, this may be his week.
West Brom are flying high and are yet to concede at home this season. The trend appears to continue this season against struggling Reading, as a result Foster and the back line led by McAuley will surely rack up the points. Midfielder Morrison and forward Lukaku are the other picks from the Baggies this week, especially with Odemwingie suspended for the next 3 games. Reading are already in trouble this season and there are no outstanding performers to choose from so far but if anyone can pull them out of their slump it has got to be Guthrie or Pogrebnyak.
Brendan Rodgers fielded a younger team against Young Boys, probably with one eye on Sunday’s derby match against United, and therefore can be expected to bring in the key players that were rested in midweek. Liverpool will be pumped up against

Here is a 'fortnightly' update to show you the beauty bits I have either discovered, tried, tested or just completely forgotten about condensed into my top seven choices.
Lady in Red... i recently came across the OPI Nail Lacquer in the colour 'Red lights ahead...where?' - In my beauty routine, nail varnish never seems to make the cut which has been going through endless months of nothing on my nails. Now it is summer, my love for all things colourful has returned once again. This is the perfect shade to the point I can't stop looking at how pretty the colour is. This pop of red is more of an orangey toned one, which makes it one my top list this time. It is so easy to apply and you only have to use one coat, thank goodness.
Glad Hair Day makes a Good Hair day.... After re-purchasing their Solar Bronzing Powder (which by the way is all kinds of awesome), I decided to purchase some of their Glad Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner - my hair is a bit funny when it comes to which ones I use so I got their travel sized tubes. This comes in very handy with a bit of travelling i'm going to be doing in the next week...eeek.
My New Favourite Scent...which was an absolute bargin. This White Eau De Toilette 30ml from Zara is such a refreshing, light, sweet, floral scent that is the perfect handbag size. With one spray it bursts with fragrance. I'll be doing a full review of this on the blog soon as it's so lovely. I bought it for £5.99 but it's gone down to £3.99! For the price, I wish I had really stocked up on this one!
The minute I see the sun, I just wack on the first thing I see with the words SPF on the bottle. Now i'm in my 20's I want to start early with taking real care of my skin, so I decided to invest in a decent SPF moisturiser. Lush's Million Dollar Moisturiser is not one for being the cheapest at the retail price of £32.50, but it smells absolutely delicious and makes my skin feel so soft and luxurious. A full review will be done!

Oh my goodness! I’v’am? </s> The cumulative impact of many years of stigmatisation and neglect of mental health issues is now a significant and growing concern in Hong Kong. Youth suicides are causing distress among families and in our schools. Waiting times at Hong Kong’s public hospitals for mentally ill patients have reached an all-time high (three years for “non-urgent” cases). Workplaces, universities and schools lack essential resources for students and employees. Media depiction of mental illnesses often sensationalises and misleads, side-lining the real issues at stake. We felt something needs to be done now to address the stigmatisation, raise awareness and generate solutions.We intend to address just this.

Saint Francis braved shipwreck, beatings, and a perilous journey through the battlefield of the Fifth Crusade to meet with the sultan of Egypt, to build greater human understanding and peace with the Muslim world. Eight hundred years later, the great saint’s papal namesake seeks, in his own way, the same from the Muslim leaders of our own day. The rest of the West should too. </s> If you are shopping for a final expense policy, I’m sure you heard of United Home Life Insurance Company. United Home Life is one of our top 20 final expense companies. This is our independent opinion about their products and services after digging into their product materials. I will compare United Home riting, and customer service. Let’s dive in.
United Home Life has been serving clients for over 70 years. Their main focus isindividual to go through an invasive medical exam or 10 pages of questions regarding their medical history. Instead, they live by their motto of “life insurance made simple,” and strive to sell only products that are simple to qualify for and understand.
According to A.MUnited Home Life has an A- (Excellent), and a rating of A (excellent) to its parent company, United Farm Family Life. T.
United Homesuch as term, whole, and accident life insurance. They are mainly focused on groups older than 50 years old seeking burial or final expense policies. As mentioned above, all plans sold by United do not require an exam and are simplified issue policies with a few “yes” or “no” health responses. Let’s take a detailed look at each plan.
Simple Term 30 is a term life insurance for a period of 30 years. The death benefit and the premium will stay the same for the 30-year period. It comes with a no-cost terminal illness rider.

2) Feelings of helplessness or powerlessness. In our day-to-day lives, our teeth assist us in a wide variety of empowering tasks: talking, eating, tearing open ketchup packets or ripping into the flesh of our opponents. (As illustrated by the mighty tyrannosaurus rex, teeth can be formidable weapons.) In dreams, teeth are often considered a symbol of power and aggressiveness. Thus, it follows that dental dreams in which we lose teeth could signify feelings of helplessness or a loss of power. Power struggles are a common element of the human existence, so it would make sense that this is something we'd worry about subconsciously. I wonder if t-rexes ever had such dreams?
4) You'sa people gonna die. The loss of teeth being symbolic of death is a recurring theme throughout history. In ancient Greece, it was believed that dental dreams involving the loss of teeth were a sign that someone close to you would soon become sick or die. Similarly, in the 2003 smash hit, Darkness Falls, an evil spirit takes the form of the tooth fairy and starts murdering people one by one. Coincidence? You decide.
Frankly, I'm a bit skeptical of the idea that dreams have some symbolic or premonitory meaning. After all, science tells us that dreams are nothing more than the result of neurons firing off at random, and your brain creatively attempting to form a narrative from the resulting (perceived) sensory input. But, perhaps it's not completely out of the question to assume that the narrative choices your brain makes are influenced by what you're thinking about while conscious. What do you think?

I work with people They know they need to do something to change their situation.
Because they don’t know what they want; they feel like they don't have a clue what they want to do instead, wh
Or Because they don't know how to shift their approach to what they're doing now; to think about things differently and get a handle on their stress.
You'll Love This If...
You're open to learning about yourself. You're ok with me 'going there', asking the tough questions, pointing out where your thinking might be flawed - in a compassionate way, of course.
You're ready to look at this stuff and start making some changes (even just baby steps).
But, This Isn't For You If...
You want me to tell you what to do. I'll help you to uncover for yourself what YOU want to dout they don't give the full picture or go deep enough. F’ll find your way back to feeling like yourself and enjoying your life again. Or discover what you really enjoy for the first time (Yay!)
We'll meet once a week for 8 one hour sessions. We'll chat on the phone or can meet up in person if you're in Chicago.
You'll want the time in between to absorb what we talked about and maybe do some exercises and reflection or take a few baby steps in the world.
When we speak I'll listen to exactly what you're saying and use laser-focused questions and discussion to help you build a greater understanding of where and who you are today, and where you want to go in your career and life. We can start peeling back the layers of thought that may be causing stress and confusion. This will help you to see things more clearly and feel more connected to you and what you want. It's a process of developing and deepening your self-awareness. Then we can get more concrete with actions in the real world knowing those actions are based on your truth.
I'll help you see your blind spots, question your logic and help you gain more awareness of any mental tricks you are doing to yourself/your mind is playing on you. You’ll also get to lay out all your fears, take a good look at them and learn how to move through them. Wouldn’t it be great to get a handle on some of those fears you carry around all day?
This is all about you and 100% custom tailored to you and your unique situation. I don't have a cookie-cutter program I'm just putting you through. Every person has different needs and I want to meet you where you're at.
How long will this take? The truth is everyone is different. I know you’d love to hear all your problems will be solved in X weeks (and there are always people out there who will sell you what you want to hear). But you likely know that’s not how life works. Everyone is different and needs to go at their own pace. This doesn’t mean I won’t challenge you, but I won’t push you to go any faster than feels right for you. That’s the last thing you need right now, am I right?
To start I recommend an initial package of 8 sessions. It’s meant to help you jump in and get your feet wet; for some it will be enough to get the ball rolling and you may feel comfortable taking things from there. For others, we can continue our work together thru your next steps for as long as you find it serving you.
Click the link below to purchase the initial 8 session coaching package for $1,000 USD.hin 24hrs with a client agreement, quick questionnaire, and we can set up a time for your weekly sessions.
I'm ready! Let's Do This!

My travel to Koh Pha Ngan island in the Gulf of Thailand has just begun. It started well: I got a vacant right row on the plane. All three seats to myself! The next sixteen hours I will spend sitting on my ass, so having two empty seats next to me feels like extra comfort. Aside from an utilitarian function of a possible bed it’s also an empty space, which means air, and I need some air. The feeling of getting lucky at the very beginning of a journey is a bit unnerving: unconsciously superstitious, now I am afraid of luck to run away when I’ll need it most. Not that I believe in luck, of course. But having a bit of it won’t hurt.
After ten hours on the bench I feel like I got some perverse corporal punishment: the next half a year will be spent on the plane. I immediately find a consolation in that I got more space to myself than my fellow inmates! The passengers around me look inanimate, so tranquil they are in their sleep. Don’t know how do they do it and what dreams they see — I can’t lull myself into a nap no matter which melody I mutter. Five hundreds passengers and I am the only one awake? No one moves.
Last time I was making such a long trip I was reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Talking about a descent to an alternative reality: every time I take my eyes off a laptop I see a large communal TV screen on the wall playing a cannabis advertisement on repeat. In the new world I’m gradually arriving to BBC shows flicks luring the audience into some private dope club whose members are getting exclusive deals on weed. And I haven’t even landed yet.
Fourteen hours of the flight: sheer bliss of Chinese domestic films. Never heard any of the titles before. “The sorcerer and the white snake” — not a bad fairy tale, highly recommend, well, aside from clumsy 3D effects, which, in retrospect, make the whole thing even more bizarre. “Sleepless fashion” — I didn’t even know a movie could be that shallow. Very Soviet looking film called “The Return Ticket”: British social realism staged in Shanghai. Funny enough, while I am watching the emerging auteur production from China, the guy next to me is watching a Russian film. Both China and Russia aspire to so-called West while having plenty of cultural similarities amongst themselves.
First stop is Tokyo. It’s a very short connection, less than an hour. I pass by ubiquitous vending machines in the tangled corridors and then I see an on-line station. I rush up and plug in. So, no toilet visiting or looking around: I drink Internet after I have been thirsty for 16 hours. Not a droplet of spam for that long, it almost feels like it’s 1996 again. May be that will be my alternative year of existence: 1996, this time in Asia.
Taipei is next. The flight is uneventful: I look at the map and the distance between Tokyo and Taipei seems like a quarter of a globe, so I curl myself up for mindless hibernation. Before long I’m in Taiwan, being under the impression that I have 8 hours to kill at the airport. Yes, it will turn to be a wrong impression. But I had my reasons: concierge at the check-in stand in NY asked me if I’d like to get out in Taipei since I have plenty of time. On arrival a stuart at the door told me that yes, take a sky-train for the morning flight to Bangkok.
Meekly I follow the crowd of fellow passengers I got used to during the first two legs of the trip. I play sudoku on iPod. And then the odor of two days cloth evaporates and there no familiar faces around left. I am riding alone on the flat elevator and the only flight I see a crowd around is on Amsterdam. By the way, flat elevator is called travelator. An impossible name, it will be pronounced as “tralevator” by anyone who’ll try to utter it.
Very slowly I walk back towards the information beaurau. I show my ticket and I say that hell, I have eight hours to kill, but I’d like to know the gates to sleep in front of. Funny looking lady wearing grey-and-orange hat checks my ticket, and calmly states that my flight is in thirty minutes.
Silly serendepities: the flight is on Amsterdam indeed but it stops at Bangkok. I guess the friendly NY concierge changed my ticket, to speed me up, so to speak. Unfortunately, Bangkok is not my final destination, I go to Koh Pha Ngan with Koh Samui in-between. Strictly speaking, Koh means island in Thai, but people keep adding it to he names of the islands, so I’ll tag along. Anyway, looks like I got myself a night at the City of Angels. That was not a part of the plan, I swear.
I am in Bangkok. It’s 2:30 in the morning. Landed, got my luggage, went through the customs. My visa is stamped and it is valid up to the 30th of June! That complies perfectly with my initial estimate. All is well, and so far I feel like despite the hardship of the route it was one of the easiest flights. Funky euphoria of a jail breaker.
My next plane is in the afternoon but I’ll try to get on standby for the earliest, which is at 6am. Then ferry and then I’m at my new home for the next three month. But meanwhile I am marooned at the airport with no free WiFi. I hope I’ll get on the 6am flight, it’d be a drag to stay here for another twelve hours. And I’m in! 6 am, no issues aside of waving goodbye to low gluten meal. Works for me — I’m gonna get to the destination before the rumors of my arrival will reach the locals.
I am at Koh Samui. It feels immediately relaxed with a dash of downshifting. Curvy baggage belt adds up to the impression of a tropical paradise. I am watching people at the airport: they all look conscious. I have not been sleeping for past 48 hours.
350 bhats later I’m sitting on a boat to Koh Pha Ngan. Last time it was some drugdealers superfast delivery boat converted to a passenger rocket. She flew around 50 knots being the size of a one bedroom apartment. This time it’s a regular ship, ferry-like. It goes fast but without leaving police patrol behind asking on the radio was it a whale or have they slept too little?
Or have I slept too little? Quick self-test: if I were given a choice between a million dollars, passionate sex or a shower right now, what’d be my choice? I would have chosen a million dollars. Because it makes sense in a long run. Well, I am aright, after all.

Some quick and brief opinions on Mike van der Hoorn, the Ajax defender that we look set to sign for around £2m
Thanks to the Vital Football network and some internet searching, we’ve got some opinions on Ajax defender Mike van der Hoorn – who we’re expected to sign this week.
Swansea City have managed to sign the 23 year-old defender for just £2m, but you have to wonder how much quality and potential he has if the Dutch side are happy to sell him for such a low fee.
Well, the opinions vary, but unfortunately it seems that Ajax fans are mostly happy to see him leave, and doubt he has the ability to match the challenge of the Premier League.
With help from the Vital Football network, we gained the thoughts of Frank – who’s based in Holland. He told us:
‘H’
Here are some other opinions from Ajax fans via message forums (some are rough translations):
‘Pef.’
‘.’
‘Fine news that Van der Hoorn is sold! A.’
‘e.’
We’’t be too worried going up against van der Hoorn?
Judging from these comments and reading some others, it looks like van der Hoorn will come in as fourth choice, and will need to develop his game further at Swansea City to earn a first team place. A decent enough replacement for Kyle Bartley who has been linked with a loan move to Garry Monk’s Leeds United.

Android sdk: build a speak and repeat app | Over millions vectors, stock photos, hd pictures, psd, icons, 3d models, powerpoint templates, website templates all for free download
The Android platform provides support for both speech recognition and speech synthesis. In this tutorial, we will create a simple Android app which allows the user to speak, attempts to recognize what they say, and then repeats what was recognized back to them using the Text To Speech engine.
We will use the same technique for the TTS engine as we did in Android SDK: Using the Text to Speech Engine, so the focus of this tutorial will be on the speech recognition element. Both speech recognition and synthesis are relatively easy to implement on the Android platform, so you should be able to achieve the steps in this tutorial even if you are an Android beginner.
Step 1: Start an Android Project
Create a new Android project in Eclipse. Alternatively, if you want to implement the speech recognition functionality in an existing app, open it instead. For this tutorial we have a minimum SDK version of 8, and you do not need to make any particular additions to your Manifest file, the default contents should suffice.
Step 2: Define the User Interface
Let's start by defining the user interface. When the app launches, the user will be presented with a button. On pressing the button, the app will prompt them to speak, listening for their voice input. When the speech recognition utility processes the speech input, the app will present a list of suggested words to the user. As you'll know if you've tried speech recognition as a user, the recognizer is not always accurate, so this list is essential. When the user selects an item from the list, the app will speak it back to them using the TTS engine. The TTS part of the application is optional, so you can omit it if you prefer.
Press the button to speak! SpeechRepeat Speak now! Suggested words…
Of course, you can alter the String content in any way you like.
Open your "res/layout/main.xml" file to create the main app layout. Switch to the XML editor if the graphical editor is displayed by default. Enter a Linear Layout as the main layout for the app's launch Activity:
The Linear Layout contains various style declarations including a background color. Inside the Linear Layout, first enter an informative Text View:
Notice that the Text View refers to one of the Strings we defined. It also sets various display properties which you can alter if you wish. After the Text View, add a button:
The user will press this button in order to speak. We give the button an ID so that we can identify it in the Java code and display one of the Strings we defined on it. After the button, add another informative Text View, which will precede the list of suggested words:
Again, this Text View uses a String resource and contains style properties. The last item in our main.xml Linear Layout is the list of suggested words:
The List View will be populated with data when the app runs, so we give it an ID for identification in Java. The element also refers to a drawable resource, which you should add to each of the drawables folders in your app's "res" directory, saving it as "words_bg.xml" and entering the following content:
This is a simple shape drawable to display behind the List View. You can of course alter this and the List View style properties if you wish. The only remaining user interface item we need to define now is the layout for a single item within the list, each of which will display a word suggestion. Create a new file in "res/layout" named "word.xml"and then enter the following code:
Each item in the list will be a simple Text View. That's our interface design complete. This is how the app appears on initial launch:
Note: don't worry about the lack of dithering, this is just how it looks in the DDMS screenshot. On the device itself, the gradient is perfectly smooth.
Step 3: Setup Speech Recognition
Now we can implement our Java code. Open your app's main Activity and add the following import statements at the top:
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Locale; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.pm.PackageManager; import android.content.pm.ResolveInfo; import android.os.Bundle; import android.speech.RecognizerIntent; import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener; import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech; import android.util.Log; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.AdapterView; import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.Toast; import android.widget.TextView;
You may not need all of these if you do not implement the TTS functionality - Eclipse should highlight imports you have not used so check them when you finish coding. Extend your opening class declaration line as follows, altering the Activity name to suit your own:
public class SpeechRepeatActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener, OnInitListener {
The "OnInitListener" is only required for the TTS function. Add the following instance variables inside your class declaration, before the "onCreate" method:
//voice recognition and general variables //variable for checking Voice Recognition support on user device private static final int VR_REQUEST = 999; //ListView for displaying suggested words private ListView wordList; //Log tag for output information private final String LOG_TAG = "SpeechRepeatActivity";//***enter your own tag here*** //TTS variables //variable for checking TTS engine data on user device private int MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE = 0; //Text To Speech instance private TextToSpeech repeatTTS;
Inside your "onCreate" method, your class should already be calling the superclass method and setting your main layout. If not, it should begin like this:
//call superclass super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); //set content view setContentView(R.layout.main);
Next, still inside your "onCreate" method, retrieve a reference to the speech button and list we created, using their ID values:
//gain reference to speak button Button speechBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.speech_btn); //gain reference to word list wordList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.word_list);
The List View is an instance variable, accessible throughout the class. Now we need to find out whether the user device has speech recognition support:
//find out whether speech recognition is supported PackageManager packManager = getPackageManager(); List intActivities = packManager.queryIntentActivities(new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH), 0); if (intActivities.size() != 0) { //speech recognition is supported - detect user button clicks speechBtn.setOnClickListener(this); } else { //speech recognition not supported, disable button and output message speechBtn.setEnabled(false); Toast.makeText(this, "Oops - Speech recognition not supported!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); }
We query the environment to see if the Recognizer Intent is present. If it is, we instruct the app to listen for the user pressing the speech button. If speech recognition is not supported, we simply disable the button and output an informative message to the user.
Step 4: Listen for Speech Input
Let's setup the click listener for the speech button we've instructed the app to detect clicks for. Outside the "onCreate" method, but inside your Activity class declaration, add an "onClick" method as follows:
/** * Called when the user presses the speak button */ public void onClick(View v) { if (v.getId() == R.id.speech_btn) { //listen for results listenToSpeech(); } }
Now implement the method we've called here after the "onClick" method:
/** * Instruct the app to listen for user speech input */ private void listenToSpeech() { //start the speech recognition intent passing required data Intent listenIntent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH); //indicate package listenIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_CALLING_PACKAGE, getClass().getPackage().getName()); //message to display while listening listenIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_PROMPT, "Say a word!"); //set speech model listenIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL, RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM); //specify number of results to retrieve listenIntent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_MAX_RESULTS, 10); //start listening startActivityForResult(listenIntent, VR_REQUEST); }
Some of this code is standard for setting up the speech recognition listening functionality. Areas to pay particular attention to include the line in which we specify the "EXTRA_PROMPT" - you can alter this to include text you want to appear for prompting the user to speak. Also notice the "EXTRA_MAX_RESULTS" line, in which we specify how many suggestions we want the recognizer to return when the user speaks. Since we are calling the "startActivityForResult" method, we will handle the recognizer results in the "onActivityResult" method.
When the app is listening for user speech, it will appear as follows:
Step 5: Present Word Suggestions
Implement the "onActivityResult" method inside your class declaration as follows:
/** * onActivityResults handles: * - retrieving results of speech recognition listening * - retrieving result of TTS data check */ @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { //check speech recognition result if (requestCode == VR_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) { //store the returned word list as an ArrayList ArrayList suggestedWords = data.getStringArrayListExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS); //set the retrieved list to display in the ListView using an ArrayAdapter wordList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter (this, R.layout.word, suggestedWords)); } //tss code here //call superclass method super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data); }
Here we retrieve the result of the speech recognition process. Notice that the "if" statement checks to see if the request code is the variable we passed when calling "startActivityForResult", in which case we know this method is being called as a result of the listening Intent. The recognizer returns the list of 10 suggested words, which we store as an Array List. We then populate the List View with these words, by setting an Array Adapter object as Adapter for the View. Now each of the items in the List View will display one of the suggested words.
If the app successfully recognizes the user input speech and returns the list of words, it will appear as follows:
Alternatively, if the app does not recognize the user speech input, the following screen will appear:
Step 6: Detect User Word Choices
We want to detect the user selecting words from the list, so let's implement a click listener for the list items. Back in your "onCreate" method, after the existing code, set the listener for each item in the list as follows:
//detect user clicks of suggested words wordList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { //click listener for items within list public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) { //cast the view TextView wordView = (TextView)view; //retrieve the chosen word String wordChosen = (String) wordView.getText(); //output for debugging Log.v(LOG_TAG, "chosen: "+wordChosen); //output Toast message Toast.makeText(SpeechRepeatActivity.this, "You said: "+wordChosen, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();//**alter for your Activity name*** } });
We use the "setOnItemClickListener" method to assign a listener to each item in the list. Inside the new "OnItemClickListener", we implement the "onItemClick" method to respond to these clicks - this method will fire when the user selects a suggested word from the list. First, we cast the View that has been clicked to a Text View, then we retrieve the text from it. This text is the word the user has selected. We write the chosen word out to the Log for testing and output it back to the user as a Toast message. Depending on the needs of your own application, you may wish to carry out further processing on the chosen word - this code is purely for demonstration.
The user can press the touchscreen or use a trackball to select words in the list.
When the user selects a word, the Toast message appears confirming it.
Step 7: Setup TTS Functionality
If you do not want to implement the Text To Speech functionality, you can stop now and test your app. We only require a little more processing to make our app repeat the user's chosen word. First, to set up the TTS engine, add the following code to the section in your "onCreate" method where you queried the system for speech recognition support. Inside the "if" statement, after "speechBtn.setOnClickListener(this);":
//prepare the TTS to repeat chosen words Intent checkTTSIntent = new Intent(); //check TTS data checkTTSIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA); //start the checking Intent - will retrieve result in onActivityResult startActivityForResult(checkTTSIntent, MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE);
Like the speech listening process, we will receive the result of this code checking for TTS data in the "onActivityResult" method. In that method, before the line in which we call the superclass "onActivityResult" method, add the following:
//returned from TTS data check if (requestCode == MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE) { //we have the data - create a TTS instance if (resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS) repeatTTS = new TextToSpeech(this, this); //data not installed, prompt the user to install it else { //intent will take user to TTS download page in Google Play Intent installTTSIntent = new Intent(); installTTSIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA); startActivity(installTTSIntent); } }
Here we initialize the TTS if the data is already installed, otherwise we prompt the user to install it. For additional guidance on using the TTS engine, see the Android SDK: Using the Text to Speech Engine tutorial.
To complete TTS setup, add the "onInit" method to your class declaration, handling initialization of the TTS as follows:
/** * onInit fires when TTS initializes */ public void onInit(int initStatus) { //if successful, set locale if (initStatus == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) repeatTTS.setLanguage(Locale.UK);//***choose your own locale here*** }
Here we simply set the Locale for the TTS, but you can carry out other setup tasks if you like.
Step 8: Repeat the User Choice
Finally, we can repeat the user's chosen word. Back in your "onCreate" method, inside the "OnItemClickListener" "onItemClick" method, after the line in which we output a Toast message, add the following:
//speak the word using the TTS repeatTTS.speak("You said: "+wordChosen, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
This will cause the app to repeat the user's chosen word as part of a simple phrase. This will occur at the same time the Toast message appears.
That's our complete Speak and Repeat app. Test it on an Android device with speech recognition and TTS support - the emulator does not support speech recognition so you need to test this functionality on an actual device. The source code is attached, so you can check if you have everything in the right place. Of course, your own apps may implement speech recognition as part of other processing, but this tutorial should have equipped you with the essentials of supporting speech input.

NetSuite and Salesforce are market leaders that companies rely on to meet their sales, marketing and even operational needs. Both systems are industry leaders that help various levels understand customers better, craft solutions, and grow their business.
Top Oracle consultants, SoftArt Solutions compares these two resources.
Netsuite still targets mainly small to midsize businesses, whereas Salesforce provides enterprise-level services for companies of all sizes. Both are mature products that have evolved to meet the needs of various clients. These systems started out in the cloud rather than adapting to cloud-based computing as other providers had to do.
Netsuite has expanded and is now scalable to larger enterprises that need inventory and other ERP solutions in addition to CRM tools. The Salesforce ecosystem has generated other functions, such as financial tools, through third-party partners. This has led to an augmented offering that complements the core CRM and sales focus of the original product.
Both systems have a fragmented network of value-added resellers, and there’s room for improvement in how the companies manage their ecosystems. Netsuite does a lot of its implementations in-house. That means that setups are handled in a call center environment in scheduled timeframes. However, a lot of customers need a lot more hand-holding than that.
That’s where MSPs such as BC Networks come into play. Before you decide which tool works better, it’s important to map out your processes and figure out how technology can help you accomplish your goals.
Netsuite is now owned by Oracle, so the need for well-vetted, reliable partners may be addressed in the near future. For now, it may be left up to companies to choose their support and implementation partners wisely.
There is a continuum that ranges from 100% flexibility to a cookie-cutter environment with little room for customization. Both Salesforce and Netsuite fall midrange on that scale but lean towards different ends of it.
Salesforce is considered more flexible and nimble due to the ability to pick and choose add-on modules managed by other companies in the Salesforce ecosystem. NetSuite is scalable and consistent and works best for companies that need a cookie-cutter approach in terms of scalability and standardization.
How Robust and Mature Is Your In-house IT?
If you have a sophisticated internal IT team, then you can handle Salesforce’s array of third-party apps that require a lot of configuration. On the other hand, if you don’t have a lot of IT capability and don’t want to build it, NetSuite is easier to maintain and doesn’t require a lot of integration.
Salesforce, designed with CRM and Sales in mind, is uniquely suited for sales-oriented companies. If you’re looking for production efficiency and overall value proposition for your supply chain management, Netsuite might be a better fit. Feel free to reach out for help from BC Networks for an honest evaluation of which solution is right for your company.
What’s the Difference in Terms of Integration?
NetSuite has all the tools you need — ERP, CRM, marketing and automation — right out of the box and has been compared to a Swiss Army knife. This saves a lot of integration expense and headache.
Salesforce only comes standard with the CRM. Other functions must be integrated via Sage, Dynamics GP and other ERPs. These tools can operate on the same level as NetSuite, but only if properly integrated.
Comparing Netsuite to Salesforce involves a thoughtful look at your current environment. SoftArt Solutions can assess your needs and make a product recommendation. Visit https://www.softartsolutionsinc.com.

3. Get baking! If it's raining and miserable outside, how about ditching the wellies and raincoats for the day and opting for a day of baking tasty treats instead? There are tonnes of autumn inspired recipes to try out, from a traditional apple crumble to Halloween cookies and pumpkin pies. Try letting the kids take charge, you might be surprised at how well they do with minimal adult input.
4. Have a family games night. Nothing beats getting cosy and competitive! If you don't have any of the classic board games to hand, you can always play games like Pictonary, Naughts and Crosses, Snap/other card games, Top Trumps or Charades. You don’t have to spend any money to have a great family games night. Playing console games also counts!
5. Go on a hilly hike and watch the sun set. There is one good thing about the evenings getting darker sooner - gorgeous sunsets! Why not get a bit of exercise and head up to the top of your nearest hill with a flask full of hot chocolate and a picnic blanket? The satisfaction of reaching the top and watching the sun sMy name is Rachael and these are just a few of my favourite family things to do in autumn.

and Prevention established a customised surveillance system for South Korea, called Kor-GLASS, in 2016, which is now being scaled-up.
Prof Anurag Said: “Adoption of advanced technological innovation is needed to ensure that pharmaceutical manufacturing becomes sustainable and does not contribute to the rise in AMR. Since Korea is a manufacturer as well as consumer of antibiotics, traincan help address multiple facets of the issue. The STEM workshops introduce participants to clean manufacturing and waste management practices to reduce antibiotic pollution, which can eventually also be scaled up to other sectors.”
To further R&D, by 2017, Korea had allocated funds worth €65 million to AMR related research, including developing new-age antimicrobials and modernisation of livestock and poultry management systems to eliminate non-therapeutic use of antibiotics. </s> The Bank of England went into self-imposed purdah when the election was called in late March, so provides the first hint of current thinking inside Threadneedle Street for some weeks.
That’s because the current inflation rate is zero and, according to the Bank, could go negative during the spring. Given that the Bank has a legal duty to hit a 2% inflation target, it is not possible to raise rates in that sort of climate. Shortly before the Bank entered purdah its result – its chief economist, Andy Haldane, made the point that the next move in rates could be down rather than up.
Bank of England decision to keep 0.5% interest rate was unanimous. What’s more, the committee’s collective view is that it will not be possible for the economy to continue rattling along at its current rate and with the dole queues continuing to shrink without generating higher wage and price inflation, unless productivity starts to pick up markedly.
Threadneedle Street has been remarkably slow to wise up to the possibility that the weakness in earnings has been caused by structural rather than temporary factors. This failure explains why there has been a disconnect between Bank forecasts and Bank action. It also explains why the minutes should come with a health. </s> It is an era of technological advancements and development. With a large number of companies introducing some or the other advanced technological innovation in the form of products or services, there is no doubt that technology is fast replacing the human brain. People are now developing an increased dependence on these advancements.
But, customers still prefer to interact with a human to get any of their queries resolved. To meet this need, the services offered by the customer support executives are the safest option. Believe it – the service delivery by a customer care representative is far better than the automated answering machines. Wondering how? Read on to understand the difference between chatbots and customer support executives and how the latter is better than the former.
Since in a way that enables an easy interpretation of the customer’s query, there is can never be complete reliability on the experience offered by these machines. It is possible that the machine is not able to interpret the query raised by the customer and hence, offers an inappropriate solution.
2. 24×7 Customer Service
Customers can have queries at any point of time. Therefore, it is important for any customer-centric organization to be available at their service 24*7. And, this can only be possible if they have a staff recruited to handle such queries. While implementing the Chatbot feature is a great idea to be at your customers’ service at all times, it is certainly not completely reliable.
Using an automated machine is a definite cause of stress and tension. While many believe that this feature can ease off the stress from the user’s life, it is important to understand that Chatbots can also cause excessive stress. This can be the case if there is an uncertain delay in resolving the customer query or helping him/her connect with the right representative.
Such and many other similar situations do not arise if there are customer support executives employed to handle all the queries. These executives not only handle their queries but also help in making sure that the customers are not facing any unnecessary stress at the organization.
Since chatbots are a programmed service is not possible. This is the domain where the role of best and experienced customer support staff is undeniable. Having a well-trained customer support staff on duty can make it possible for you toThis, in turn, would allow them to discuss their issues easily and comfortably with the staff, who, in turn, is eligible and trained enough to provide you with the requisite solution.
Chatbots are a virtual customer support team that enables the delivery of customer support services as per the set standards and guidelines. But, this is not the case with customer support executives. There is a possibility of offering requisite training and release the guidelines as per the requirements of the new process, or function. Training the staff with the right tricks to handle customer queries and attain their maximum satisfaction is a sure shot way to attain success.
The Power of Human Interaction Supersedes Technology
Undoubtedly, the advanced t Chatbots are undoubtedly an innovative way to improve customer interaction but, it, still, cannot replace human interaction completely. Therefore, the best way out is to employ a mix of both these types and enable the delivery of such a . </s> 180 doctors available Last Name Initial: L Nicholas F. LaRusso, Nadia N.

I just finished reading Dove and was intrigued by Robin Graham's mention of bringing a large stash of ball point pens to give away as gifts to the locals.
I think that you are talking about two very different issues. Gifts and Trading Goods.
The exceptions to that have been Cuba, where soap,spices,rum and cigarettes can be readily converted into lobster. And a few isolated fishing camps in Venezuela, reefs off Honduras, Nicaragua where cigarettes and booze are requested for fish.
Personally I am disinclined to supply alcohol in remote areas to strapping men who are likely to drink it all at once and then want to party....!
I get quite mad if we are following a group of boats who are handing out largesse through the islands, it really does no favors to any of us, cruisers or recipients.
As to gifts for exceptional service we carry a supply of t shirts with our boat name on and these are always valued as a thank you. And of course there is often an obvious need that you can fulfil from your ships stores. We have mended outboards, supplied hurricane lamps and provided supplies in a number of these situations.
This is a great point and maybe deserved a thread on it's own. That largesse goes beyond gifts or bartering for fish ( I'm thinking tips , for instance) and many times harms , in my view , the relationship between the visitors and the locals .

She was very conscious of the fact this was her opportunity, and her parents were making sacrifices for her, so she wanted to do the best she could."

If I forgot what I’m supposed to do for a Quest or get stuck, is there any way I can get hints or refresher on what to do?
Remember, the Quest Log keeps track of the progress made on a Quest and contains additional details, so it’s handy to check it from time to time!
If a player would rather restart a Quest from the beginning to start fresh, they can abandon the Quest and accept it again.

I have most of the kids toys stored in totes. Granted there are TOO MANY at the moment, but we just had a huge influx of dolls & stuff, so I need to go through & eliminate.
The basket is on top the fridge & it contains the open packages of snacks, cereal, marshmallows that accumulate when you have kids. I have recently cleaned it out so it isn't overflowing like it usually is.

The Prince at his second baseball game. If you look close enough you can see that he is missing a few teeth! We are up to 4 now, the tooth fairy is renting the guest bedroom now...
The Princess is all dressed up for a baby shower (so is her dolly). We got the dresses at TJMaxx, I should shop there more!!! Of course, everyone assumed I MADE the dresses, HA! Not for the $14 we paid for them! I just wish she was still in toddler sizes they had a gorgeous black toile set...
I haven't measured it out yet so I'm not sure how much is here, but I definitely got a bargain.

Some Frugal stuff around the net.
Frugal Chick had a great Frugal Friday tip about using microfiber cloths on her swiffer sweeper. I recycle flannels (and old cloth diapers) maybe I need to invest in some microfiber cloths too...
Being Frugal posted 5 great places to start being frugal! And there are some great tips in the comments too. I love making things from scratch sometimes it ends up being cheaper, but usually it's just the healthier option!!!
Kitchen Tip Tuesday over at Tammy's Recipes is home to some great kitchen tips (LOL!).
I recycled our baby food carousel for use in our spice cupboard. It doesn't hold the larger jars but it is great for the small and medium sized jars. For thejavascript:void(0)
Publish Post larger jars I stacked some scrap lumber into a tier shape so I didn't have to go out & buy a stepped spice rack. Besides the stepped spice rack I did buy (one that pulls down out of the cupboard) didn't fit in my spice cabinet so I re-purposed it to hold soup cans. I think my best tip for kitchen organization is use what you have & don't be afraid to change what isn't working for you!

New York's new law
Typical NY, taxing us to the hilt.
April 9, 2008, New York
State passed a law mandating that any retailer that (1) meets a certain sales
volume from sales to New York customers and (2) has an affiliate program with
New York based publishers that refer customers to the retailer and are paid on
a commission basis must charge and collect New York sales tax on all sales
shipped to New York.
So They are basically claiming that by being a NY resident & posting a link on your site for a specific company the company has a "base" in NY. Amazon has already filed a lawsuit & Overstock has removed me as an affiliate (not that I have had any banners or links there). I'm just interested to see how it all plays out & if affiliates or the state will prevail???

The first premiss of the article, if you are 30 you need to save $448 a month at 8% to be able to retire in 35 years. While I can't dispute the numbers I can say that I am not investing a quarter of my income every month. My expenses just won't allow for that. Maybe if you made 6 figures you could set aside that much but if you only bring in $450 a week it's kind of hard.
Third, bring a lunch & save $100. If you aren't already bringing a lunch & making your own coffee this is a good tip. If you eat leftovers for your lunch instead of having to buy special lunch stuff you can save even more.
Fourth, the author suggests skipping 1 dinner & a movie every month to save $80. I can say that $80 is a lot more than I would spend on dinner & a movie, unless we were taking the 4 of us to a nice sit down dinner & an evening movie. But we usually just go to a movie & that's an afternoon show & very rarely do we go out & spend more than $40 on the both of us to eat. Also, if we skipped 1 a month we wouldn't have any at all. We don't even go monthly, we do try to do something with the kids but right now our "entertainment money" goes to the baseball snack stand!
Fifth, save $28 on health care using a flex spending account. Sure I'd love to but I can't just go to the bank and open one yet. If you employer offers this benefit TAKE IT! This along with the CVS extra care bucks/card would be FANTASTIC!!! Hey would they let me use flex to pay for my Wii Fit???? I look at it as a replacement for gym membership... LOL!
Sixth, save $10 on Auto Insurance by increasing your deductible from $250 to $1000. Honestly, when we were just confronted with this option my attitude was "it's only $10 extra a month" we'll take it! After all it would take more than a year to save the difference, if you don't have access to the $1000 you would be better off paying the difference.
The last $6 came from switching your prescriptions to generic. My health insurance demands this unless there is a valid reason to not use a generic.
I'm sure I'd do better if I just saved all my change from the grocery shopping & expense of daily living. My bank account is set to "Round up" and move the change into my savings account and I have a large jar for my coins. Which I do anyways I just don't think that it amounts to $448 a month.
I guess I'm waiting for the article that addresses those of us who already have cut the fat, where do you trim from???

For all the other "baseball" Mom's out there I just had to share my dugout re-useable ice packs!
I've made the "alcohol/water" (orange) before, but in my searching for the proper ratio I found a recipe using dish soap (green).
I just dumped half of a small bottle into a zip top bag & added a little rubbing alcohol. I made one without the alcohol & they seem to be about the same after freezing. These are double bagged & do leak a little but I keep them in a plastic container when they are in the freezer & we take them to practice & games in a 2 qt drink cooler (it's what I had). These have been used twice already & we have only just really begun our season.
This is a much "greener" alternative to the instant ice packs and only require a little bit of effort.

Written by The Savvy Girls, it's a girls guide to baseball! There is a great article written about the book on MLB.com.
They must know their stuff because they even have a MLblog Network blog. I just know the basics, hit the ball run to first, try not to get out, unless you are on the field & then it's catch the ball or get it to a plate...but it must be more complicated than that given the 100+ page rule book I have sitting on my desk, eeek!

Major League Baseball and Susan G. Komen for the Cure partner for "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer"
This may be "old news" but is still worth passing on!!!
On Mother's Day, MLB Players to once again use pink Louisville Slugger bats to support the
fight against breast cancer
Major League Baseball and its 30 Clubs are again joining Susan G. Komen for the Cure for "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer," a program that incorporates numerous facets of the game on and off the field to generate awareness about breast cancer and raise funds to help fight the disease. All Clubs hosting a home game on Sunday, May 11 will celebrate Mother's Day with special in-park programs and a "pink theme" throughout. In addition to promotional support, Major League Baseball Charities has also committed $50,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure through the "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer" program.
Hundreds of Major League Baseball players will help raise awareness for breast cancer on Mother's Day, May 11, by using pink Louisville Slugger bats. Select game-used bats, as well as select team-autographed bats, will be auctioned off on MLB.com at a later date, with net proceeds benefiting Komen for the Cure. Fans can purchase their own personalized pink bat at MLB.com, the official Web site of Major League Baseball, or Slugger.com, with $10 from the sale of each bat benefiting Komen for the Cure (bats are $77).
Fans can also support "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer" by purchasing limited edition New Era caps, Soft as a Grape shirts and Logo Art bracelets, all featuring pink Club logos alongside the breast cancer ribbon logo. Out in time for Mother's Day gift buying, fans can purchase these items by logging onto MLB.com or visiting the nearest Clubhouse store. Major League Baseball will donate $1 from the sale of each item to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Additionally, while supplies last, a special Mother's Day tote bag with the MLB pink ribbon logo will be given as a gift with purchase of $150 or more at Club retail shops within all 30 ballparks.
Major League Baseball will use its various assets to help communicate the breast cancer awareness message. MLB.com will feature stories on MLB players and their mothers. A full page ad delivering the breast cancer awareness message will run in USA Today on May 9th.
The only auction currently listed was for a Derek Jeter signed bat. The auction is closed & the final price was $4525.

We have been cramming in gardening around the rain drops! Saturday was a busy day in particular, Tuesday was even busier! Since Saturday we have:
2. Moved a boxwood shrub.
3. Tilled the bed in the front yard where we had some veggies last year & planted the new hydrangea & the boxwood shrub. My plan is to get a couple more boxwoods in there & maybe some perennials along with a few annuals. We will need a huge amount of mulch to cover this bed, it beats having to mow the awkward spot!
4. Transplanted all of the seedlings into slightly larger containers. I realized I have only 4 regular tomato plants (12 went to my parents) and 12 green pepper plants. Of course I counted & I have 9 cherry tomato plants. Hope they are good producers, I only need enough to can anyways. The princess is the only family member who eats raw tomatoes.
5. Created a 3rd green house/cold frame using a tote & the 2nd window pane, temporary just to get the seedlings outside. I am leaving it uncovered until the evening so they don't get cooked.
7. Put in a rock border around the un-edged part of the bed in the front.
8. Picked up a bunch of broken sand box toys & a lot of stuff that has blown in.
9. Planted some cherry tomatoes & "lemon" cukes in containers with trellis.
10. Cleared off the front porch & brought out the rest of the furniture.
12. created a pot for my Mom for Mother's day & planted one of my antique tool boxes with the left overs.
16. Cleared up our old campfire area & tilled it. I am going to sink a pole & create a pole bean tepee here. Should be fun for the kids. As soon as the pole is sunk & the lines are run I'll lay down a stone floor. They aren't supposed to be out in the yard barefoot, but flip flops aren't much better & I want to have a nice surface for sitting on!
We were outside as much as possible so I'm sure I've missed a project or 10 here!!!

April Goals wrap up
We haven't eaten out much at all, which is fine but I also have only done basic shopping so my creativity is being stretched!!! With 2 kids (sometimes 4) it isn't easy to make all things kid friendly. But in April we were able to make our scheduled debt payments & keep on top of all the bills. So it isn't nearly as bad as it has been in the past.
3. Use savings, rebates & misc found money to fund our emergency fund. I haven't followed through on this one as much as I had hoped. But a bulk of it is sitting in the savings account I haven't built it up enough to send it to the ING account.
4. Blog daily. I will get better at this. I can't believe I haven't done much this week. Considering I have so much to write about!
7. Focus on more MYO foods. I have had some good luck with the sourdough starters I made & the cornbread mix I made has proven to be yummy as a "shake n bake" replacement.
8. Eliminate more clutter Freecycle is so helpful. We also have a couple of local trade boards that I have used. We are also gearing up for big metal trash day, just not sure we have enough for a long haul to a scrap yard. But it's enough that it's getting on my nerves. Although we probably are the only people to have disassembled a washer before junking it...parts anyone. After all the motor, belt & pump were all in perfect condition and you never know when you might need a small HP motor!!!

How Much Individual Treatment Do You Need in Rehab?
Published February 28th, 2022| Professionally Reviewed By
Recovery is an immensely personal journey, but it doesn’t have to be isolating. 1-on-1 treatment, otherwise known as individual therapy, offers the opportunity to build a unique and strong bond with your therapist or care provider. For many people, this personal connection facilitates healing in a powerful way.
A core component of 1-on-1 treatment is the additional focus your provider has on you, allowing both of you to explore your situation in depth. Many people find this beneficial, and it might even be necessary for certain patients. Some conditions, for example, require 1-on-1 attention. Or if you’re a high-profile person, you may need to remain anonymous throughout treatment, which makes attending groups a challenge.
Here, we’ll guide you through the different aspects of 1-on-1 treatment:
Individual vs. Group Therapy: What’s the Difference?
What to Expect From a 1-on-1 Treatment Session
Common Types of Therapies Used in 1-on-1 Treatment
How Many Clinical Hours do Rehabs Offer?
How Much 1-on-1 Treatment Do You Actually Need?
Understanding 1-on-1 Treatment
In individual treatment, you attend 1-on-1 sessions with your therapist, counselor or care provider. This type of environment offers some unique takeaways:
You are the focal point. Your provider focuses solely on youyour life.
You can address a wide range of topics per session. Because it’s just you and your provider, you can work through issues that may be more unique to your situation, like employment status, legal matters, and more.
You have greater privacy. You can work through your issues in confidentiality, but without having to go through your healing process alone.
Group therapy usually involves 5 or more people. 1 person leads these sessions, though a co-leader may be involved in larger groups. While some treatment facilities may have groups of 15 people or more, many luxury rehabs have groups of around 6-8 people. Group settings offer a different dynamic from individual treatment:
The door opens for conversations to flow. Participants can jump in and offer feedback, creating opportunities to discover new insights.
3. Open up in a private, safe environment: In an individual treatment session, you can discuss anything that comes up in private, without judgment. Your therapist will be there to guide you through challenging thoughts, behaviors, and feelings using various psychotherapy techniques. Goal setting and skill building are both key aspects of individual therapy. Skills you may learn include how to set healthy boundaries, or finding healthy ways to cope with emotional hardship. As you progress through your healing journey, you can expect your goals to change.
4. Doing the work outside of sessions: Your therapist will help guide you through your process. However, your readiness for change will influence what you get out of treatment. That is, the actual healing work falls on you. Oftentimes, this happens outside of therapy sessions. You’ll have time to reflect on your thoughts and behaviors while learning how to integrate lessons from therapy into your daily life. This process can help you glean further insight into your thoughts and feelings. Bringing this information into your next session allows you to dive deeper into the therapeutic process.
Most luxury rehab programs offer a mixexperiential therapy. This helps maintain a balance between the intensity of talk therapy and the immersiveness of embodied experiences.
There are many different styles of psychotherapies and therapeutic activities. You may even want to choose a program depending on which of these they have available.
Popular types of individuAs one of the most common types of therapies available, a majority of rehab programs offer cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT is an evidence-based treatment based on the principle that psychological issues stem from our thoughts, learned patterns, and behavior. In CBT, your therapist will take you through methodical strategies for changing your thought process, along with homework to put what you learn into practice. CBT is proven to reduce symptoms of mental health conditions2 like depression and anxiety.
DBT is a proven effective evidence-based treatment3 approach that incorporates mindfulness techniques with practical skills to help you tolerate and regulate your emotions. Drawing from principles of Zen Buddhism, DBT teaches you that your emotions are valid, however you’re not your emotions. Your therapist will guide you through 4 distinct modules of DBT, often taken from the first or second edition of Dr. Linehan’s original DBT workbook:4BT is especially beneficial for people with certainTSD.
Acceptance and commitment therapy5 is an approach of behavioral therapy that focuses on mindfully accepting, rather than avoiding, unhelpful or challenging situations. The underlying thought behind ACT is that all of our feelings, even the difficult ones, are a necessary part of life. Your therapist will take you through techniques to help you accept your psychological experiences (acceptance). You’ll clarify your personal goals and values. From there, your therapist will teach you the skills to build psychological flexibility, so you have tools to act in a way that’s in line with your values (commitment).
Popular 1-on-1 experiential therapies offered at luxury rehabs include animal-assisted therapy and different forms of physical movement.
The team at Paracelsus Recovery in Switzerland strieds when it comes to fitness talks about the importance of personalization:
“We start with an assessment process, looking at the client’s exercise history, what they’re doing, and whether they have injuries. We assess their relationship with fitness, whether they’ve been to a gym or have worked with a trainer before, and examine their current state of health. Then, we build the program around that. It’s really important for me to gauge their fitness levels and design the right type of exercises for it.”
3. Individual therapy may be more effective in the short term: A meta-analysis comparing individual versus groupn showed that individual therapy can be more effective8 than group therapy in the short term. There may be higher risk factors for drop out in group therapy9 due to challenges in compiling the right group. However, findings at this stage shouldn’t discourage people who may truly benefit from group therapy.
4. Your therapist can meet you where you’re at: Not everyone is at the same stage of readiness for change in their recovery journey. With individual treatment, your therapist can meet you where you are, and you can work on your issues at a pace that matches your situation.
6. Certain clientele require 1-on-1 focus: Some demographics have a unique set of needs for recovery, and certain conditions require more 1-on-1 attention. Someone with a dual diagnosis may need more individualized sessions with their psychiatrist, for example. Meanwhile, people with severe social anxiety may not be able to open up in group settings.
1. You have a support network: Many people who face mental health or substance use disorders feel isolated in their struggles. Speaking about it in a group setting can help you realize you’re not alone.
2. You can gain new perspectives: Group settings allow for dynamic conversations to occur. Other people in your group may offer feedback that helps you realize aspects of your healing you weren’t previously aware of.
5. You can open up in a social setting: In group therapy, you have the opportunity to speak about topics you may not otherwise bring up in your normal social circles. Some people find it therapeutic to open up to others, and this teaches valuable social skills that you can carry into life outside of rehab.
How Many Clinical Hours Do Rehabs Actually Offer?
More clinical hours with a therapist means you can address important emotions and needs as they come up. Your therapist has more time to learn about you, allowing you both to more thoroughly explore your situation.
The length and duration of 1-on-1 treatment sessions you need will depend on your situation.
Usually, therapy sessions are 1 hour 11 as indicated by self-reported symptom measures.”
Individual Treatment Lets You Dive Deeper Into Your Healing Process
It’s important to remember that other modalities, like group therapy and family therapy, also provide benefits that you may not be able to get from 1-on-1 treatment. Unless you need to attend a single-client program, most rehab centers offer a balance of group therapy and individual treatment for well-rounded care.

Home/Retail/Whirli learning: Selling toys the Whirligig way – inside the UK’s independent ‘make and do’ retailer
Robert Hutchins 6 days ago Retail 771 Views
tick
It’s a reassuring phone call that comes for Peter Allinson, owner of the fleet of independent Whirligig toy shops across the South and South East of England, from another toy company requesting another consultancy with the expert of the ‘things to make and do’ toy sector.
For Allinson, a career in the toy industry is an answer to his calling in life. It’s a little surprising to learn, then, that he has only been in it for eight years.
It’s not standard practice for toy retailers to be called in for the development process of new products of course, but when they are, the results are usually well worth the effort of ‘stepping outside of the usual procedures’. In fact, Allinson tells us that some of the projects he has played a helping hand within the development of, have become some of the best-selling items in the ‘make and do’ genre.
“It goes to show that products with the benefit of retail insight can be really strong,” he tells ToyNews. It’s certainly a way of working that Allinson is keen to promote.
“I definitely think more toy companies should adopt this practice. There are a lot of retailers you bring that level of expertise into those rooms, the product can only benefit,” he says.
Allinson likes to call himself a toy researcher, one whose job it is to share his insight and findings with his audiences of consumers – parents, children, and families – across his network of five stores and souped-up online platform that he has poured ‘100s of hours into updating’ over the course of the pandemic – a step he took in order to tap into the surge of online shopping that 2020’s Coronavirus restrictions brought with it.
It’s a job description that conjures up wonderful imagery of exploration, yet succinctly conveys the role that Allinson has – if not appointed himself – then certainly adopted within the industry; of being the voice-piece for the ‘make and do’ toy sector.
You’ll find no LOL Surprise dolls, collectables, or ‘throwaway toys’ with ‘limited life-spans and play value’ on the shelves of a Whirligig Toys store. Allinson is an explorer of unique items, a self-confessed tinkerer of crafting kits, and a specialist in a sector that encourages children and families to get hands-on, to create, invent, and use their imagination for a pay-off that goes beyond the bells and whistles of the playground crazes or unboxing phenomenon.
It’s likely the teacher in him that fuels the passion; a career he left some 20 years ago yet appears to have stuck with him in his approach to looking for ways to enrich the lives of children simply by encouraging them to explore.
“It’s really not about being worthy,” Allinson says. “Educational toys can be seen as being worthy and boring, but Whirligig isn’t about that at all. I want our customers and the kids to have fun. We encourage them, through the products we sell, to discover things for the first time.”
Allinson makes no secret of his own curiosity. He is a box opener whose Toy Fair modus operandi (in a given normal year outside of a global pandemic, of course) is to play with all of the toys he encounters.
“I am a sucker for opening up a box and seeing what’s inside,” Allinson confesses. “I go out and play with as many toys as I can and look at them from a teaching perspective, from a play perspective, assess what is going to have really good play value, what experience it offers that will move children on to the next level.
“The thing is, I am a maker by trade as well. I like making, I crochet and knit, and I sew, so when I am around kids in the family, I encourage them to make something all together.”
Allinson’s penchant for creating began to surface during his stint as a Brighton coffee shop owner where he would display his crafts – including a knitted Brighton’s Royal Pavilion – proudly in his cafe.
“The plan was to open one or two shops in London over the next year or so. We’ll have to regroup after last year, and look at those plans for the coming year.”
“People really responded to what I brought into the cafe, while at the same time things like Bake Off and Sewing Bee were taking off and there was a lot of media attention around artisan hobbies,” recalls Allinson. “It was 2012, and people were really responding to the make and do element. So, I put all of these things together and out popped Whirligig.”
In the October of that year, the first Whirligig Toys shop had opened its doors, launching with the idea of presenting toys, kits, and things for children to make and do.
“I believe that children should be doing practical activities. These are what you remember from your childhood. I also wanted something for older children, because it’s lovely buying things for tiny children, but actually nine year olds really need good toys,” says Allinson.
“That was the starting principle for it. I had no retail experience at all, so made it up as I went. I went to Autumn Fair, asked ‘how does this work?’ and then went on to open four shops in five years.”
It wasn’t a planned strategy, but it was one that has since made Whirligig Toys the biggest independent toy store in the country outside of an indie buying group. And the scale of that achievement shouldn’t be understated. That’s five locations that each make a success of presenting the obscure and unique toys that too often fly under a radar preoccupied by the latest franchise releases or movie tie-in lines.
“A lot of people think of the toy industry and think of the plastic tat that gets thrown about and thrown away,” says Allinson. “But when they walk into a Whirligig they see a different side to it. A lot of our work is about putting the message of the wonder of the toy space out there.
“We have 20 staff across Whirligig, and the key thing with all of our staff is that we don’t sell anything unless we have made it and played with it ourselves. When people come into our shop, we know what we are talking about. The toys are not just boxes on shelves; they are things that I have invested in personally. Generally that is my role in the business.”
If Whirligig’s success over the last eight years is proof of anything, it’s that even before the pandemic, there was a hunger among consumers for the things to make and do market. Now that lockdowns, restrictions, and social distancing have thrown the values of play directly Allinson sees no signs of that hunger abating.
“The toys I sell have really been hitting those notes – people wanted things with longevity, things they could play again and again, models to make and things that are going to keep children engaged for a long time,” he says.
“With children not mixing as much, the ‘fad’ toys are in lesser demand, because fewer people are talking about them. Instead they were looking for wooden kits to build, scientific projects, logic and thinking games, and anything with an artistic element.”
Not only did Allinson manage to meet the demand of what consumers were shopping for throughout the summer’s lockdown, but so did he meet how they were shopping, by overhauling his online operation and listing the entire shop’s collection on the commerce site.
“We know that we could do this across the country, but we have been growing very carefully and very well. I’d like to look into other towns in the South East and in London.”
“We have had people from all over the country looking for things with real substance,” Allinson explains. “It’s the way people shop nowadays, accelerated by the pandemic, and the way it will be going forward. We will always have our website fully up-to-date with product listings, toy guides, and information for shoppers.
“We try to replicate what we bring to the in-store experience on our online platform now, and people are really responding to that.”
But while online shopping is on a stark growth trajectory, the allure of physical shopping will always remain, and Allinson will always be prepared to explore further opportunities for expansion as they present themselves to him. Before the pandemic struck the shores of the UK, it was the plan for Whirligig Toys to open up its first London store this year. 2020 had other ideas for the retail scene this year, but the twinkle remains in Allinson’s eye all the same.
“We need to regroup after this year, but t,” he reveals. “So we will look again next year. We are a small company, kind of a big small company, and we only expand where we can, and we do things carefully because we don’t have the backing of some of the bigger boys.
“We are never going to be The Entertainer, I don’t think. We have grown where we have grown because we are able to. The response to the first store was fantastic, so we looked at other towns nearby and thought, well there’s nothing like us her’re limited by my own growth plans… with these five, they are all within two hours of my house; soFor now, though, Allinson will continue to allow that passion he has for creative play and creativity to steer the direction of the Whirligig Toys brand, and through that, he will continue to carry out his research on the latest toys.
“We haven’t got Toy Fairs to go to this year, but there is still a lot of good stuff out there and the connections I have in the industry allow me to go and analyse toys,” he says.
“I think we are about to see a lot more people and a lot of the bigger brands – seeing what’s happening in the make and do space – responding to it. And so they should be. For me, it’s continuing to work with small companies who are innovating and doing clever things.
“When I am at a Toy Fair I am straight into the Green House, or I am upstairs to the far corners of the toy hall. The big companies – they don’t really get me, and I don’t really get them. There is plenty of innovation out there,” he concludes.

Former Olympic Swimmer Ariana Kukors Claims Coach Sexually Abused Her When She Was 16 Tarantino Apologizes To Roman Polanski's Rape Victims. Per the retired Olympian's attorneys, the investigators seized computers and phones for examination purposes. Ariana, who was once a member of the 2012 Olympic team and was, told police Hutchison started the abuse when she was 16 and continued the inappropriate behavior until she was 24. However, according to Kukors, the swim coach started grooming her when she was 13 and that the nude pics were taken when she was 17. As to why she came forward, Ariana has expressed a concern that Sean may still be abusing young women. In a statement, the Washington native explained: ." Man, oh man. Reportedly, Hutchison stepped down from his role with the U.S. Olympic team in 2010 amid rumors he was having relations with a swimmer. Nonetheless, Sean's coaching career continued as he's currently the CEO of an elite Seattle-based swim team. Related: The organization defended that, after interviewing Kukors and her sister, both women "unnship." The statement by USA Swimming went on to note that Kukors' recent public allegation was the first time they learned that Hutchison may've sexually abused Ariana when she was a minor. They added: "O We fully support her in her case for answers and justice and applaud her courage in sharing her story in an effort to empower victims and protect athletes."

The pronoun iel is a combination of the feminine pronoun elle and the masculine il. Le Petit Robert is the first official recognition of the gender-neutral pronoun iel, by a major French dictionary even though the pronoun has been in circulation for at least a decade.
Le Petit Robert is a basic French language tool used by students and educators. The dictionary’s editors decided to include iel in its definitions to reflect its growing usage in the French language.
“Robert’s mission is to observe and report on the evolution of a changing, diverse French language,” Charles Bimbenet, director general of Le Petit Robert, said in October in a French news release.
According to White, incorporating gender neutral pronouns in the French language is a complicated task because of rigid masculine-feminine grammatical rules. Changing genders also forces changes in the rest of the sentence, but there is no way to accommodate a neutral gender.
“I think there are certain constraints in the French language that makes it easier to incorporate gender neutral pronouns in English, as there will be less repercussions. We can really intervene in a more surgical way on the pronouns in English, whereas it is more difficult to do so in French,” she said.
Amedjkouh is hoping that the recognition of the pronoun iel in a major French dictionary will be enough to make significant changes in school procedures.
Some educational institutions are looking to include non-binary language, but questions remain on how it will be used.
“I think putting it in a dictionary is a first step. But I was a little disappointed that we are not given more information on its use, because then all we are doing is recognizing that the pronoun is in circulation,” White said.

Twyman has conducted field studies at a border crossing in Nogales, Arizona, a field experiment at a TSA Systems Integration Facility in Washington, D.C., and a field experiment in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, using European Union border guards.

Educational institutions such as schools play an important role in spreading this message, as young minds are developing their potential and are open to new models of learning. They are agents of change because they can further share messages with their peers outside of educational systems as well as take back lessons learned in the classroom to their families.
Using the schooling systems' organizational resources, the Nanhi Chhaan model is personalized to each school's needs. Each programme developed is done in partnership with the school, taking on forms of awareness lectures, camps and workshops along with campaigns within schools, led by students, staff and the parent-teacher community. The costs of hosting Nanhi Chhaan projects in schools is minimal, with free saplings being provided by Nanhi Chhaan and a joint promotion of the concept is done with schools to highlight the school's commitment to the cause.
Schools also participate at the launch of Nanhi Chhaan programmes from places of faith across India.

The questionnaire was distributed to a simple random sample of public schools in the West Bank, in the year (2017/2018). Its size reached (129) schools out of (193), to get acquainted with the greetings of teaching and learning the Arabic language from the point of view of Arabic language teachers in it. Three models of semi-structured interviews were adopted, and directed to an exciting sample of managers, supervisors and Arabic language teachers. There were seven principals, four supervisors, and ten teachers, to be acquainted with proposals to develop The results showed that the most prominent challenges of teaching and learning the Arabic language are the overlap between colloquial, classical, and the decline of the Arabic language in the scientific fields in addition to the abundance of skills in the curriculum in relation to the number of lessons. The most prominent proposals were the need to strengthen the role of parents and increase communication between them and the school, and employing the internet in the service of teaching and learning the Arabic language, by designing websites and applications for Arabic language curriculum, in addition to the need to train teachers on the use of technology and modern teaching methods in teaching Arabic language skills.

I’m pretty careful about the sites I post about here, and try to ensure that the content on them is appropriate for classroom use. However, sometimes, a site will accidentally slip through.
I’ve posted about 1.500 or so sites on this blog. Out of these 1,500, four have been subsequently found (by either readers or me) to have some limited content that I would not feel comfortable having my students see in class. In all four instances they were Web 2.0 sites with user-generated content. Each time I immediately edited my post and removed the link from my website.
Of course, I’m still not a big fan of overly-restricting student access to Internet site, and believe that it’s best to help students develop good judgement they can use — both at school and elsewhere. There’s no easy solution to this issue. I reflect more on it in a post at our group blog, In Practice, titled To Filter, Or Not To Filter? Is That The Question?.

This was the best concert any one could have attended. I was a youngster at that time but I still remember it to this day.
This was by far the best concert I have ever seen, I was eleven at the time. HIGHLIGHTS were SHAKE YOUR BODY, HUMAN NATURE and of course BILLIE JEAN. Unforgettable and a great memoir!!
Seeing Journey at the Rose Garden in Portland, even the new lineup, was a dream come true for me! The hits were there, but the sound could have been better. New singer Steve Augeri knew what he was doing, and did more than justice to the old songs. Would have liked to hear "Who's Crying Now" and putting the lights out before "Seperate Ways", in the middle of the show, threw me off, but all in all it was still a memorable experience! Hearing "Do You Feel Like We Do" by Peter Frampton, and "Missing You" by Johm Waite were cool events to remember!
It was awesome! John Waite opened with some of his songs, like 'When I See You SMile' and 'Missing You', then Peter Frampton did some songs (P.F was on for about a half an hour! I was restless!) and finally, Journey came on. I'm not sure if it was Steve Perry or not, but it sure looked like him. They did TONS of their most popular songs, but they didn't do 'Open Arms'...they did however, do 'Wheel in the Sky', which I think is good enough! I loved it!
I'm still playing the tunes in my head from last night's concert! REO Speedwagon was FANTASTIC! Kevin Cronin and Neal Doughty were just as incredible and energetic as they were when I bought "High Infidelity" over 20+ years ago. Unlike the other bands of the night, REO performed like they were genuinely having a good time. In fact they kept coming back on stage singing and playing with STYX and Journey! On that note, the STYX concert was as wonderful as ever! Tommy Shaw, James Young and the rest of the band sounded great, but they were pushing their new CD "Cyclorama" so much that they actually had the CD's carrot symbol as part of their video show and on their drum set. Their classic favorites sounded great with Lawrence Gowan creating his own wonderful rendition of Dennis DeYoung's vocals. Finally Journey took the stage. As soon as so Steve Augeri started singing, I started cringing in my seat. I had heard prior to the concert that if you close your eyes you couldn't tell the difference between Steve Augeri's and Steve Perry's voice, but that definitely wasn't so. Mr Augeri will never achieve the vocal clarity and stage presence that Steve Perry faithfully delivered for so many years. With the exception of Neal Schon's incredible Star Spangled Banner guitar solo, The Journey set was a complete waste of a true Journey fan's time. Bummer.

And, as an example, he dropped a newsy nugget of info: starting third baseman Nick Castellanos will begin working in right field with Dave Clark this afternoon.
Castellanos could play some games in the outfield this season or the Tigers could wait until spring training to begin playing him there.
Castellanos, 25, said he’s open to the position switch.
Report: Detroit Tigers' Ian Kinsler claimed on waivers by a team
Castellanos said it’s beneficial for the team if he can play more than one position.
Gene Roof, the Tigers’ roving outfield instructor, spent a lot of time working with Castellanos in the minors on switching from third base to outfield.
Castellanos said he didn’t talk to the Tigers about his future with the organization, beyond the willingness to switch positions. Castellanos is arbitration eligible in 2018 and will be a free agent in 2020.
“Baseball is such a present game that the future is so unpredictable,” Castellanos said.
Ausmus later said that Martinez “still hits the ball better than his numbers show.”

Today is the seventy fifth anniversary of Hiroshima. I usually mark this day to myself, sitting on a beach with my family. Umbrella to umbrella, we pin ourselves to the vast, relentless beach of dangerous rip currents and burning sun.
Nearby, facing each other across a broad river, are a pair of seventeenth century, star-shaped forts. The U.K. has a similar one at Southsea, in Portsmouth. A huge amount of human effort must have gone into building them; the land was expropriated from the local population, and the marshy site made the garrison vulnerable to epidemics. They were built in order to deter enemy ships from sailing up the river to Bordeaux but ‘not a single shot was fired in anger’. There was a fashion all over the world for these forts; their pointed geometric shapes were thought to be good for deflecting canon balls.
When 650,000 people in the world have died of coronavirus, and many in developing countries face starvation, it is plain how costly and wasteful is the maintenance, research and development of a nuclear deterrent. Against the threat of a pandemic, a nuclear warhead is useless. Worse, as Pope Francis said in 2017, we are at the limits of morality and legality in possessing nuclear weapons.
Last week, Boris Johnson compared a second lockdown to a nuclear deterrent, ‘a tool I won’t abandon but don’t want to use’. It’s hard to understand why he would use this comparison. Hidden in the language of ‘deterrent’ is the language of the ultimate threat.
It’s not possible to threaten a virus, so Johnson must be threatening the public, who, he assumes, consider a lockdown to be a fate worse than death.
Lockdown is a way of keeping everyone safe. Unused to the language of life, loving and caring, the prime minister regressed to idolising death, the very trait we need to give up if we are to live and die well in a modern-day pandemic.

For the Toronto Maple Leafs fanbase’s sake, I hope the players heard J.J. Watt’s rant on Sunday. Watt is a star player for the NFL’s Houston Texans. The Texans missed the playoffs and limped to a 4-11 record heading into the season’s final week. He is a vicious competitor,nd he is not one to whine or complain.
This is the kind of clip I wanted to see from the Maple Leafs after last season’s early exit. Sure, there were a few usual lines like “we need to do better,” but the fanbase has heard it all before. Where is a John Tavares blast like that? He is a great player and obviously has an incredible work ethic. Still, maybe he could take a lesson from Watt and drop the robot-like responses.
There have been a few public blasts over the past couple of seasons. Auston Matthews let his teammates have it after a poor performance against the Boston Bruins. Even the soft-spoken Frederik Andersen has called out his team. Perhaps this happens more behind closed doors, but that is the problem.

HYDERABAD: Close on the heels of two honour killings within the city limits in less than a month, a 24-year-old man sustained grave injuries after he was attacked by two men, who allegedly bore a grudge against the victim over his relationship with a girl, near Alkapur Township late Saturday night. The victim was identified as Syed Naseer, a cab driver.
Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Narsingi sub-inspector L. Samaram Reddy, investigating officer (IO) of the case, said the two accused, identified as Mohammad Naveed alias Chotu and Mohammed Akbar alias Banni, both mechanics from Narsingi, werethem.
As per the preliminary enquiry, the police said, Naveed was close to a girl who later stopped talking to him and grew closer to Naseer. “Irked by their friendship, Naveed and Akbar hatched a plan to attack him,” police said.
At around 11.30 pm, Naseer was at a pan shop located at Road No. 1 in Alkapuri Township when the other two confronted him. “As per the eyewitnesses, the three seemed to be talking normally before Chotu and Banni pulled out knives, which they carried with them already, and started attacking Naseer,” explained the official. “He was rushed to the hospital with grave stab wounds on his stomach. Once he speaks and gives a statement, we can shed light on the motive, connection between them etc,” said the officer.
Doctors at Osmania General Hospital wanted to keep the victim under observation for 24 hours, said the official.
Meanwhile, the incident was shared on social media platform as another hate crime, after the city witnessed two major murders this month.
In the first case, Nagaraj was stabbed to death at Saroornagar earlier this month. The murderer was the brother of a Muslim girl, who married the victim, a Dalit. In the second case, minor, for murdering a 22-year-old youth over an inter-caste love marriage on Saturday, a day after the victim, Neeraj Panwar, was hacked to death in full public view in the Begum Bazaar area.

At the simplest, it's a western or it's a futuristic sci-fi setting. It's really a collision of the two.
It's not styled as an 1800s western sci-fi in the sense that that people of that era are making air ships and transmogrification apparatus. The guests are restricted to staying period authentic (and are ignored when they break character).
If all of us showed up in costume, we would stand out. There's no villains dressed or equipped like us to fight.
All of the sci-fi parts are styled futuristically modern relative to us, and not in an 1800s style. It's the difference between a Star Trek Borg cosplay and a steampunk Borg costume. Nobody takes stuff straight from Locutus's outfit and wears it over their victorian garb. It looks wrong. It ain't steampunk unless it looks like a Victorian made it.
I wouldn't say it's entirely outside of Steampunk, but it's not your mainstream "Anachronistic Steampunk." The reason is that the story doesn't have a clean parting point from an established Victorian timeline, and instead the plot takes you out of a specific time frame (it's the near future, in the United States, but we can't place the time).
Westworld could fall under the" Uchronic Steampunk" label - ie the same way that Robert E Howard's Hyborean character Conan the Destroyer is living in a late Stone Age Eurasia, but you can't place exactly where and when, ie Uchronia, so Conan stories would be a type of Uchronic Fantasy.
The other issue is that the story has a strong Cyberpunk feel, with a near future dystopian society who exploit artificial beings considered to be mere slaves at best and soulless machines at worst (eg Blade Runner), I guess this is what is a deal breaker to some. Westworld does feel more Cyberpunk than Steampunk, but it's not entirely unrelated. I would counter that argument by pointing to the "Golem Conundrum" in the story. That is the paradox of having an artificial being acting as if it has free will, which is a plot that traces its roots all the way to antiquity, but relevant to Steampunk it's related to the Victorian Sci-fi Horror of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
And I'd remind the reader that Steampunk can be even wilder, with settings entirely outside of planet Earth, like the 1960s episodes of Star Trek, where in some alien world Captain Kirk's crew find a whole Wild West town full of gunslingers, perhaps as a decoy or trap for visitors (I forget the exact plot).
And what about the Trigun Animé franchise? Wild West aesthetic again, but taking place off- Earth in a far far future. And Firefly? It's Steampunk pedigree is even more tenuous, with only the costuming hinting at the old western movies and the fact the main characters are human .
The most extreme case would be a novel where aliens who look nothing like humans are in the midst of their own industrial revolution, and so the Victorianesque aesthetics repeat again. The latter I called "Virtual Steampunk," because the story is sort of a "convergent evolution" in a time and place completely outside of Earth's reality.

Governor Abbott Signs Several Bills by Rep. Richard Peña Raymond from Laredo
Written by admin, Jun 27, 2015, Comments Off
LAREDO, Texas- The veto period for the 84th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature has expired with several important pieces of legislation passed by Representative Richard Peña Raymond, Chairman of the House Committee on Human Services, now on their way to becoming law.
“I’m very proud of the work we were able to do this session that helps better the lives of Laredoans and Texans all over the state,” Rep. Raymond said. “Working together with constituents, City of Laredo and Webb County officials, we achieved many of our goals for Laredo and Texas,” added Rep Raymond.
In addition to the legislation Representative Raymond passed, he also secured funding for a summer law school program at Texas A&M International University in Laredo. This program will be offered through the Texas A&M School of Law for a summer course in international law, with a focus on Mexico and Latin America. “This law school class will be open to students from all law schools. We are breaking new ground in offering a law school class in South Texas which focuses on trade and energy,” added Rep. Raymond. Representative Raymond came up with concept and was able to get support for this exciting new program. The first class will be offered in the summer of 2017.
Governor Abbott signed many significant pieces of legislation passed by Rep. Raymond, including:
HB 2035 by Raymond, allowing Laredo and other border communities to further regulate certain alcohol-related businesses. Under HB 2035, governmental bodies could place reasonable restrictions on the location of such alcohol-related businesses–requiring them to be located a certain distance away from a school or church, for instance. Local regulation of businesses dominated by alcohol sales is intended to keep communities safe and meet the regulatory needs of individual jurisdictions.
HB 1463 by Raymond, ensuring that appraisers make extra efforts before cancelling a senior citizen’s homestead tax exemption. Because senior citizens may struggle with mobility issues, hearing or vision impairment, and other ailments, they should be given additional time and opportunities to respond to appraisal districts before having their taxes raised. HB 1463 seeks to provide greater security for our parents and grandparents in their dealings with county appraisal districts.
HB 1464 by Raymond, extends the same provisions offered in HB 1463 to senior citizens’ agricultural and open-space tax exemptions.
HB 2861 by Raymond, authorizing the creation of an overweight vehicle corridor in Laredo. As the nation’s largest inland port, Laredo is responsible for a large portion of the state’s commercial activity. Production and shipping companies, the city of Laredo, and economic development corporations support the designation of an overweight vehicle corridor to avoid unnecessary stops and promote efficiency. The permits for Laredo’s overweight corridor will cost considerably less than DMV-issued permits and will allow for greater efficiency and increased trade volume.
HCR 34 by Raymond, naming the new DPS crime lab in Laredo after Oscar “O.J.” Hale, chief investigator for the Webb County District Attorney’s office for more than 40 years. A Vietnam veteran, Mr. Hale began his career in law enforcement as a police officer in 1968, and was quickly promoted to detective and then chief investigator. Throughout his career, he has set a standard of excellence for the community and for law enforcement throughout the state. As the Texas Department of Public Safety completes a new crime lab in Laredo, it is only fitting that the facility be named in Mr. Hale’s honor.
HB 315 by Raymond, establishing “In God We Trust” specialty license plates, which will be available through the Department of Motor Vehicles. All proceeds from the license plates will go to the Texas Veterans Commission to assist Veterans.
HB 1678 by Raymond, continuing the Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities. The Committee serves as a central source of information on a wide array of disability-related issues and works to influence state policy, educate people on disability-related laws, and raise awareness of the achievements of and barriers faced by people with disabilities. Under Sunset provisions, the Committee would be abolished on September 1, 2015 if not extended by the Legislature. This bill continues the Committee for 12 years, until 2027. It also removes provisions from the committee’s statute that do not align with the committee’s purpose and resources.
HB 388 by Raymond, extending protective orders against certain family violence offenders who have subsequently been incarcerated. The bill aims to give victims and their families peace of mind in the period immediately following the offender’s release.
HB 3523 by Raymond, improving Medicaid acute care services and long-term care services and supports. This bill clarifies and enhances current law by requiring an evaluation of each transition stage and making recommendations for continued improvements; extending certain timelines; and assuring meaningful coordination and collaboration in the implementation of the system redesign between the Health and Human Services Commission and the I/DD Redesign Advisory Committee.
HB 2033 by Raymond, granting counties the authority to require subdivision developers to submit a locally compatible digital map with geo-referencing of approved subdivision plats and related infrastructure. This way, counties will not have to spend additional money staffing their digital mapping divisions, while new subdivisions will be provided with adequate resources and emergency support from the counties.
HB 2463 by Raymond, continuing and improving the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services. This bill redirects independent living funding to the network of centers for independent living to improve local access to those services. It also strengthens oversight and monitoring of case workers to control spending and ensure effective delivery of services, and establishes two existing programs in statute to provide clearer direction and purpose.
HB 2789 by Raymond, requiring the Department of Aging and Disability Services to adopt trauma-informed care training for employees who work directly with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in state supported living centers and intermediate care facilities. The need to address trauma is increasingly viewed as an important component of effective service delivery for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are receiving state-funded direct care services.
HB 1679 by Raymond, continuing the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, which engages in advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change activities that promote self-determination for people with developmental disabilities and their families. The Council is subject to the Sunset Act and would be abolished on September 1, 2015, unless continued by the Legislature. HB 1679 continues the Council for 12 years, until 2027.
HB 1219 by Raymond, allowing prospective funeral directing and embalming students to begin their apprenticeships before enrolling in mortuary school. This bill will provide an opportunity for prospective funeral directors and embalmers to experience the demands of the funeral service industry and assess their desire to commit to such a demanding profession prior to enrolling in and paying for an educational program.
HB 1386 by Raymond, removing an outdated provision that allowed only one counsel to represent a municipal court defendant. This bill updates the statute to reflect the common understanding of court procedure, whereby a defendant may be represented by a team of attorneys working in consultation with one another. All defendants are entitled to secure the best representation available to them, and HB 1386 seeks to remove this arbitrary restriction on defendants’ rights.
HB 1428 by Raymond, creating a preapproval process for the Homebuyers Assistance Program, which is administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs and provides working low-income families, including many Texans with disabilities, with financial assistance to help buy a home. This bill improves the program’s application procedures to allow for greater efficiency and financial security
HB 872 by Raymond, establishing new reactivation procedures for former police officers. Because there is a shortage of new police academy graduates, many sheriff’s departments would like to be able to recruit former officers without forcing them to go through the police academy again. This bill will help compensate for the shortage of new graduates while encouraging former officers to rejoin the force.
HB 4001 by Raymond, streamlining the licensing process for certain providers of home and community support services. The bill amends existing law to regulate the provision of habilitation services by licensed home and community services agencies. The bill also clarifies responsibilities related to the provision of Medicaid services for these providers. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) to assess and collect administrative penalties from providers participating in the Home and Community-based Services (HCS) and Texas Home Living (TxHmL) waiver programs for violations of law or rule.
Sponsored bills passed by Rep. Raymond:
SB 1129, prohibiting the inhumane “hog-tying” of persons with mental illness during emergency transportation.
SB 914, establishing a council on long-term care facilities.
SB 46, protecting the privacy of business owners by keeping tax appraisal photos of business interiors confidential.
SB 306, amending the content of the annual State Commission on Judicial Conduct report.
SB 59, exempting family violence victims services from competitive bidding requirements in order to deliver services more quickly and efficiently.

Super League to sho...
Hope it's a tad more successful than the last time league games were broadcast on terrestrial TV.
Attendances plummeted when "Rugby League Live!" was broadcast on ITV in the late 80s / early 90s.
It's great news - the game needs exposure and the fact there is no paywall for these games opens this up to a new audience, at peak times.
Interesting that this also shows Channel 4's interest in the game, which we were probably all hoping for regarding the TV rights for the Championship.
Good news without a doubt.
Nobody knows what the deal is yet? Have Sky have kindly let 10 games go for free/buttons?
There is also the possibility that attendances at these 10 games go down, because people can watch it for free.
Let's hope that they're free flowing games, that get people interested & not wrestle fests that put people to sleep. I would say it's likely to be a good thing overall, but if the viewing figures aren't great where does that leave things? I can't imagine they will be huge but even if it gets another few hundred per team interested & going that otherwise might not have been then it will definitely be deemed a success.
Surely whatever happens the viewing figures on Channel 4 will be better than on SKY purely because it is on 4?
Sadly rugby league live was never national - only in north west and Yorkshire plus a few more.
I know Rugby League Live was regional, but it was still on Terrestrial TV.
The deal with Channel 4 is fantastic exposure for the game, but now that places the ball firmly in the Supporters court to get off their backsides and go to televised games.
This is the games last chance of redemption.
Cock this up, and there's no coming back...
Agree, if TV results in dropped crowds it isn't 'good'.
Interesting that an 'amateur' in Ken Davy managed to sort this out so quickly. What were Big Nige, Elstone and Rimmer doing all this time? Collecting big pay packets, but what else?
How does showing matches for free on the telly encourage people to go and watch matches ?
people who are interested in the game now have an excuse to stay at home and watch for nothing and people who aren’t interested in the game aren’t going to watch - if they were that interested they’d be watching on Sky or, heaven forbid, actually going to 5he matches themselves.
The game should be encouraging people to get off their behinds and get to the grounds. Just my opinion.
I take your point too Ditton - the game does need more exposure / better marketing but for me the best way to try and rebuild the game is to get kids involved and that’s getting them playing the game at an early age and building an attachment to their local club.
kids like running about and jumping on each other - you get that playing games outdoors not sitting on the settee. Whilst the exposure to the game is a step forward I just think that it might (as usual with the RFL) also include two steps backwards.

JRTC, Fort Polk honor memory of 9/11 heroes
1 / 2 Show Caption + Hide Caption – Fort Polk firefighter Longae Bell rang the bell in honor of those brave Americans who perished on Flight 93 during the 9/11 ceremony held Sept. 9. (Polk leadership salute a wreath in memory of the heroes of 9/11 at a –nored the heroes and victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks during a ceremony held Sept. 9 in the installation's Main Fire Station.
The day's events began when the chapel bells on the Fort Polk Main Post Chapel rang out at 7:46 a.m. to symbolize the attack on One World Trade Center (the north tower) in New York City that fateful morning. One thousand, five hundred, twenty-one people lost their lives in that attack.
The chapel bells tolled again at 8:03 a.m. symbolizing the attack on the south tower that claimed another 659 lives.
At 8:37 a.m., the bells chimed once more honoring the 184 lives lost in the attack on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Narrator 1st Lt. Nina C. Flores, 1st Battalion, 5th Aviation Regiment, then reminded those in attendance at the current time (9:03 a.m. local) 21 years ago, 40 passengers and crew members took fate into their own hands in the skies over Pennsylvania, and with a cry of "Let's roll," foiled a fourth attack on the nation by beating back hijackers and forcing United Airlines Flight 93 to crash in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
"Today, we remember those who lost their lives," Gardner said. "We pause to honor their memories, and we take time from our busy day to pay tribute to the patriots who sacrificed in defense of freedom, as well as their Families."
Gardner spoke of gradually realizing the horror of the day, the stories of loss and survival, and the fear that other attacks might be planned. "I personally still feel a jolt of pain when seeing the twin towers in old movies and photos, or even more, by not seeing them," Gardner said.
Gardner said America cannot forget the true heroes of this generation's day of infamy —those who risked themselves to help their fellow man, especially the few who understood the significance of what they were made an unwilling party to, and said, "Let's roll!"
"On that day, more than 400 first responders lost their lives, and even now, many still suffer long-term physical effects," Gardner said. "Today we honor their extraordinary sacrifice."
Gardner asked those in attendance to reflect on one of the verses of "America the Beautiful" as they remember the heroes of 9/11.
"Once the wreath was placed, th the joint band.

Breaux Bridge finding offensive balance behind Kavion Martin
In a 47-7 win against Abbeville in Week 4, the Tigers ran for 183 yards, including 111 yards and two touchdowns from Martin. Although Breaux Bridge failed to eclipse the 100-yard rushing mark against Natchitoches Central last week, Martin turned in 84 yards on the ground.
“Kavion’s been great,” Pourciau said. “He’s really excelling. I think our passing game has caused our running game to get better. Being that we’re throwing it so well, I think we’re seeing less stacked boxes. Also, I think guys are are trying to get a pass rush more, so it’s giving us a little more running lanes.
"So I think our passing game being as good as it has been has allowed our running game to get better. Our running game is feeding off our passing game in a sense.”
Having the same five starting linemen since Week 2 has also helped the gradual increase in rushing production, Pourciau said.
“I think that game experience for those guys has helped them because four of them are new starters. I think their progression, along with Kavion, has been a pleasant surprise.”
Against Natchitoches Central, he had five catches for 95 yards and a touchdown.
“He’s small in stature, but he’s tough,” Pourciau said of Martin. “He’s well put together. It’s just like nobody ever squares him up. Nobody ever gets a clean shot on him. He’s shifty enough to make you miss. He’s not super fast, but he’s quick enough to make you miss. He’s just a playmaker. Whether he’s catching it out the backfield or he’s carrying it, he finds a way to make a play.”

joints to move into correct alignment with increased range of movement.
I Incorporate many specialist techniques into my treatments depending on your needs including Soft tissue release (STR), Trigger point therapy (TrP), Myofascial release (MFR) and Cranial techniques.
Sports & Remedial Massage Therapy is area-specific clinical massage focusing on the eradication of pain and the improvement of functional movement.
It identifies and treats imbalances which lead to dysfunctional, restricted and compensatory movement patterns. These place stress on the tissues, spine and joints and can eventually result in injury.
Extensive specialist techniques are incorporated into your assessment and treatment depending on your needs including Orthopaedic testing, Gait analysis,, Neuromuscular techniques (NMT) and Neuromuscular re-education.
As a skilled Trigger point therapist I am passionate about locating and treating these points, especially as their referred pain patterns are frequently misdiagnosed as other conditions such as headaches, migraines, jaw pain and and sciatica.
Because of the time needed to release, treatments focus on affected areas and include deep tissue and stretching so please note the whole body can not be treated in one session.

ning what you can do to help: bring food, do a few hours of babysitting, make a trip to the grocery or the airport. The idea is that the mourners shouldn't have to do anything themselves, and small acts make a big difference at this time.
Just before the funeral, close relatives (traditionally, siblings, spouse, parents, or children of the deceased) observe the rite of k'riah, making a small rip — in a tie, a coat, a blouse, or perhaps the sleeve of a dress — as a symbol of grief. Many Jews pin a black ribbon to their jacket and then tear that. Generally, those mourning the loss of a parent rip the left side of their garment (or place the ribbon on the left), and rip the right side for other relatives. The point is that Judaism doesn't want you to just show up; it wants you to really show your grief, without regard to vanity or decorum, and the k'riah is like ripping open a bag of grief to allow the tears and strong emotions to fall out.
Similarly, the eulogy (called a hesped) given by a rabbi, friend, or family member, honors the deceased and helps the mourners feel the depth of the loss. The Hebrew word for funeral is levayah, which means "to accompany," and you may see Jews walking behind the hearse to the graveside, often stopping to recite psalms, and then finally reciting the Mourner's Kaddish (see Saying Kaddish later in this chapter).
At the end of the funeral, when the casket is lowered into the ground, the closest family or friends throw the first dirt over it, often using a shovel or even their hands. By encouragiThe traditional practice is for each family member to add three shovels of dirt to the grave using the back or rounded part of the shovel rather than the scoop to symbolically say how reluctant one is to lose this loved one. Perhaps it's just superstitious, but it's also the custom for each person to return the shovel to the mound of dirt because passing it directly to the next person in line is like handing them sorrow.
You may attend a Jewish funeral and find a traditional Jew remaining outside the funeral parlor or cemetery, even if he is a close friend or relative of the deceased. Men who are descendants of the priestly class, called Kohanim (and who often have last names like Cohen or Kahn) are forbidden by Jewish law to come close to a corpse. Except for very close relatives, Kohanim don't enter the actual cemetery area. Sometimes their relatives are buried near the outer perimeter of the lot so that they can approach as closely as possible. In fact, all traditional Jews consider being near a dead person an act that makes them ritually impure (see Chapter 4), so they typically wash their hands either before Often, a pitcher of water is made available outside the house of mourning for all to rinse their hands in symbolic purification.
At the reception held immediately after the funeral (called a seudat havra'ah, "meal of consolation") friends and family traditionally eat eggs and other nonmeat, round foods (lentils, chickpeas, bagels, and so on) as a symbol of cycles and the constant renewal of life. Note that the mourners should never have to prepare this food themselves; that's a job for more distant relatives, friends, and neighbors.
Jews also traditionally cover the mirrors in the house where the mourning is taking place, often where the deceased lived. Perhaps this is a reminder that people shouldn't be concerned with vanity at a time of mourning, and should instead be a mirror to themselves, focusing inside rather than out. We also like the more mystical belief that when a body dies, the nefesh (the level of soul most identified with the body; see Chapter 5) may be confused and return home for a short time before dissipating — so we cover the mirrors so that the nefesh won't become even more upset when it sees no reflection of itself.
Everything is topsy-turvy during the week following a family member's death. To symbolize upheaval, as well as the sense that the mourners are struck low with grief, immediate family members customarily sit on low chairs or benches during the reception and during the first week after the funeral. Note that other guests — friends, neighbors, distant family members — aren't expected to do this.
The first week after a fun. Shiva literally means "seven," referring to the week-long lamentation, when, in traditional households, immediate family members (the parents, children, siblings, and spouse) refrain from working, cutting their hair (or shaving), having sex, listening to music, doing anything joyous, or even doing laundry. Traditional Jews also refrain from wearing leather shoes (because in ancient times they were considered too comfortable), reading Torah (except for the depressing parts, like the Book of Job), swimming, and taking luxurious baths (though basic bathing is, of course, permitted).
For the first week, most Orthodox mourners don't leave home, and their synagogue makes sure that a minyan (a quorum of at least ten men) shows up for a daily service at the house. If there is no minyan, the mourners may attend a daily service at the synagogue in order to say Kaddish, the special memorial prayer. Other, less traditional Jews, may also have an evening home service that is more creative in nature. A nice tradition is to keep a candle burning for the entire seven days as a constant reminder of the soul who has left (you can buy "seven-day candles," although they don't always last a full seven days).
The point of shiva is to stay focused on the death that has just occurred — taking the time to cry, grieve, feel the loss as well as the anger and other emotions — rather than getting distracted by other, less important tasks or diversions. Amazingly, psychologists have found that people who let themselves grieve using these age-old customs tend to heal faster and better. We wouldn't dare tell a mourner what he or she should do; rather, the key is to stay present as long as necessary. Many Jews today only sit shiva for three days, and they seem to feel this works for them.
Whatever the case, almost all the mourning practices are halted for Shabbat, when Jews attend services at the synagogue (though they still don't have sex or become too joyous). Although you don't observe the customs of mourning on Shabbat, that day does count as one of the traditional seven. Then, finally, in the morning of the last day, the formal shiva ends and the mourners enter back into the world. Often, friends or the rabbi may show up to take the mourners out for a post-shiva walk around the neighborhood.
Of course, no one gets over the death of a loved one in a week. The next three weeks (until the thirtieth day after the funeral) is called shloshim ("thirty"), when mourners begin to rebuild their lives, but traditional Jews still refrain from cutting their hair or shaving (unless it's necessary for their livelihood), or going to parties or entertainment (like movies and the theater). After this time, all mourners except the children of the deceased are expected to let go and cease their official mourning.
Because the loss of a parent is especially difficult, the children are obligated under Jewish tradition to mourn for a full year (based on the Hebrew calendar), avoiding parties and celebrations (unless it's something like your own wedding), and saying kaddish daily until the end of the eleventh month. (Some traditional Jews believe that a child's actions and prayers can help the soul of his or her parent in the first year after death. However, because only the most wicked need help for a full year — see the sidebar What happens next later in this chapter — the tradition is only to say kaddish for 11 months.)
Sometime during the first year after a family member's death, usually between six months and the first yahrtzeit (the anniversary

There are many types of victimization. Even then, the victim goes through grief and fear, but gets beyond the victim mentality. Sometimes, a person gets stuck in some area of grief. See Escape the Grief Process, page 20. It seems that Ambers friend has chosen to remain a victim, rather than make difficult choices.
When we look at the different personalities, we see that each style is capable of choosing to remain a victim, often for different reasons.
THE INFLUENTIAL PERSON believes that he is a victim when he feels that he cannot please anyone. Nothing he does is enough. He feels quite unappreciated, unloved and unlovable. He has talked himself into believing that he has no choices. He is afraid. “Nobody loves me. Everybody hates me. He suffers loud and long, whether anyone listens or not. The Influential person wants to be around more people, becomes more manic, talks more, talks faster and interrupts more.
The Influential person has unacknowledged bitterness, anger and fear. Venting is his temporary form of relieving his stress. It becomes his comfort zone. Venting does not help him take a risk, make a difficult decision or deal with the consequences of that decision. He may make irresponsible, impulsive decisions, creating a worse situation. He placates others to keep temporary peace. The Influential person may create a situation where other people involved make the decision for him. Discuss his fears with him and help him feel more powerful and capable. Explain that he has value and needs to feel more appreciation for himself.
This is the situation with Jodi. She is willing to settle for a bad relationship because she doesn’t believe she can have better and she is complaining to Amber.
THE STEADY PERSON believes that life, others and the world have treated him differently from everyone else, have denied him opportunities others have had. He never had a fair chance. He feels overwhelmed and fearful of life. He feels that he is not accepted for himself. He is an oddball to others. They do not understand him. Life is difficult for him, and nobody seems to care.
The Steady person can be helped by not taking over his responsibilities for him. His life is his responsibility. Do not take his suffering personally. Sympathize, understand, but do not get emotionally involved with his situation. Remind him of his good qualities by listing specific traits he has. Give him positive reinforcement. Build him up. Do not put him down. Tell him what he can do, not what he should do.
The Steady person gets attention. “Look at me. I am suffering in silence. I am a victim. Won’t you help me? Don’t you feel sorry for me?” He wants someone to take responsibility for him and make decisions for him. He also does not want to take responsibility for consequences. “If you take care of me, I will appreciate you, so much. Life is too difficult for me. Dying and going to heaven looks quite inviting. Responsibility for my life is too much work.” He will not say this, but you get the message.
To help him,inactions. He must reach the point that taking a risk is more comfortable than not taking a risk. When he succeeds, drown him in compliments and positive statements. Help the Steady person see that the result of his actions was positive. If it wasn’t positive, show him how to make a better decision next time. Explain the possible action or decision and the corresponding results. The final decision must be up to him.
THE CAUTIOUS PERSON believes that he must do everything possible to keep from feeling guilty. He feels overwhelmed, striving for a standard that is out of his reach. People do not understand why he does what he does or thinks the way he thinks. He explains things over and over, but people do not get it. He eventually, suffers in silence. He overburdens himself with more than he can do. The Cautious person chides himself for not doing all that he has decided he should do. He does not understand what he is feeling and becomes discouraged, depressed.
The Cautious person does not appreciate how unfair he is to himself by taking on more responsibility than is possible for him to do. He feels guilty for letting someone down. He is driven to do the right thing. Trying to meet all the shoulds and doing the right thing is his way of alleviating his guilt. It gives him temporary relief, but he continues to overburden himself so life never gets easier. He may feel that it is his lot in life not to enjoy life. “How can I be happy when others out there are so miserable?” The Cautious person gets a degree of self-satisfaction and a sense of value as a person from his suffering.
If so, based on the above information, how can you help yourself?

Santa Rosa Half Marathon Recap: The Race I Didn't Run
3:20 a.m. happened, and with it, a 6.1 earthquake (that's glass on my bib...there was more but I moved it before thinking to snap a picture...priorities).
Let me start by saying that we are fine. We only lost stuff - most of it not even really that important - yes, I appreciate the friends and family who lovingly purchased our wedding china and glassware, but we can certainly live without those items. We have lived without the china for the whole time we've been married - though it's lovely to see it on the hallway shelves, tempting me to host a fancy dinner party.
I remember Loma Prieta. I was standing outside in Suisun, close enough to feel the quake, far enough away to not have damage, playing with my neighborhood friends, and the world shook for an unnervingly long time. Parents came out of houses. My mom cried as Candlestick Park broke apart before her eyes on the television screen. And then it was over.
My husband and I woke up. I was screaming when I woke up - never a good sign. I heard glass shattering and breaking, and I knew that was not at all like Loma Prieta. We would have to clean up. Others might have been hurt.
"Make sure the picture didn't fall on him."
I gingerly walked, in shoes, over the glass and put my son back to bed.
"Want to play!"
Others have more to clean or rebuild or buy, and I am grateful that all we lost are things.

Reply Suzanne on March 10, 2012 at 7:22 pm I commit in Year 2012 and through eternity, having taken responsibility on February 14, 1969, to inspire the love of God and to uplift the human spirit; as I share with everyone the one truth that I'm given to know. I've no doubt about it, it's the only thing that I'm sure of in present life on earth, and it is: "There's one thing I know – God exists." In an out-of-body experience, in life after death, I lived then to write what I know of it in a novel, the Mommy Writings Series, in Book 1 titled With God first, life is abundant in all things (St. Matthew 6:27-34 (AV). As an author, I'm receptive to traveling and relocating elsewhere, with my son, Chad McMillen, who is a Project Management Professional; and we're both open-minded to career opportunity, as we fulfill God's purposed plan for each of our lives, which is a reflection of intention. "For as awareness is so is God consciousness."

"During my service, we were told every day that North Korea is the enemy. It was the only focus," said Geum "It felt like being brainwashed,"
"I would rather not have North and South Korea merge because us South Koreans would end up having to pay higher taxes," said Cho Min-sun, another Yonsei student. "The North has no money."
"Because America has the highest funding for military assets in the world, as well as the best-trained personnel, we help train and supply the South Korean military," explained Spc. Kozlowski. "In turn, they allow us to operate and establish a foothold within their country and their ranks."
"They don't have consistency. I think that's what makes people not want to care about North Korea anymore. It's annoying."

Ever wonder what all of the hullabaloo is about with meal prepping? Doesn't it just take more time and create such a large mess? Well yes and no, let me explain why..
Meal prepping is considered planning and preparing food for more than one meal that you do not eat right away. Prepping food makes it much more convenient for lunches on a busy day, or dinner when you have no desire to cook and a drive thru sounds so tempting. Preparthose undesired extra pounds. Best part of meal prepping, it can be done for one individual, or an entire family. Adjust meals accordingly and enjoy your delicious creations!
Step 1: When meal prepping, pick a specific day (or days) that you can set aside time to focus on meal planning and prepping. Do your best to stick with this set day to allow the ease of prep into your life and stay there. Personally, I love meal prepping on Mondays since I have can dedicate time with minimal distractions. Occasionally, I can set aside time on Thursdays if there was not enough food prepared or the stability of the food won't last a full week.
This part can seem to get expensive, especially when starting out. The best trick I can tell you, is to make your meals for the week as 'similar' as possible. Let me explain what I mean real quick. Chicken and veggies can be made separately, but they can also be combined in the soup. Just make sure you buy a bit more of each item. This will help save you money, but also, less food will go to waste! Save the spaghetti for a week you want to have homemade burgers and split the ground beef between the two meals.
Step 3: Unbag all of your items! Do not put it all away because you will just have to get them back out again! Also, it will help you remember what you have so you don't miss any steps when cooking new creations or modifying old recipes. It is easy to go back to old habits and forget to add shredded carrots and spinach to your spaghetti to make a more complete meal. (Learn what a complete meal is here).
Step 4: Begin with the easy stuff! Wash your fruits and vegetables. Preheat the oven. Pull out needed equipment. Categorize meals into areas of the table. Creating some sort of organization helps the creativity flow. Feel free to crank up the music and dance a little!
Step 6: Clean as you go! Instead of saving all of your dishes until the very end, it is so much easier to clean and reuse pots, pans, or utensils. When I first started, I wanted to cry every time I finished meal prepping because of all the dirty work I had to do at the end. And, 'dirty' doesn't do it justice. Unfortunately, I am a hot mess when it comes to cooking and can't help but spill everything as I go so cleaning was always a total nightmare. One day, a friend told me to just wash and reuse a specific pan for the next meal and a light went off and my life was changed. I can guarantee you, it can and will save you some hairs from turning gray.
Step 7: Portion control! Once everything is cooked, cut, or mixed, separate evenly. Two chicken breasts were cooked, I can only eat half a breast in one sitting, so I split into 4 containers. If snacks are desired, portion out a handful of nuts into little baggies. The, but it gives you an idea of how foods can be portioned out.
Step 8: The finishing touches! Garnish your soup with a sprinkle of cheese, put a small container of dressing on the side of your salad, cover your meals and refrigerate. Definitely empty the trash and start the dishwasher.
Send in pictures or recipes of your meals and you could potentially be featured. (emrgewellness@gmail.com) Stay tuned for more recipes to be posted here.

REVISED - 1999
The family name "Pye", although not a particularly common British
surname, is found in the directories of many cities, towns, and
villages of the United Kingdom. Since the Middle Ages, with growth of
worldwide exploration, furthermore, the name rapidly spread abroad, and
today is found throughout the English-speaking world, notably in the
USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Pye Households are
particularly noteworthy in Ontario and the Maritime Provinces of Canada
and in the New England States of the USA.
At last count, in 1986, there were 454 Pye households in Canada.1
Many can trace their roots to the American War of Independence and the
United Empire Loyalists who remained faithful to the Monarchy after the
War and settled in the British-held Canadas. My and other branches of
the Pye family, however, only appeared late on the North American
scene-my father, Edward Septimus Pye, for example, migrated to Canada
only in 1912. Our household can trace its origins with reasonable
confidence to the 17th century, however, to the area north of the City
of Norwich, Norfolk County, England.
The name "Pye" or its antecedents (puy.py, pee, pie,)
probably was first used to describe certain members of a small
community at a time when only single names were common. When the
Normans settled in England after the Conquest in 1066 AD, following the
battle of Hastings. It was soon found that, as small towns and villages
became more populated, it became awkward to register each of several
people with the same single name. In a single community, for example,
the residents were familiar with one another on site. But to facilitate
differentiation for government purposes, it became necessary to
introduce surnames to compliment the original given names. As a result,
John with long legs became known as John Longfellow; the village
carpenter became known as John Carpenter; John the blacksmith became
John Smith; John Cook became John Cook, and so on. It was only by the
use of surnames that the Doomsday Book became
possible.2 "Pye" was one of the surnames that was recognized in the Doomsday Book of
The name "Pie" or "Pye" may be metonymic for a maker or seller of pies. Reaney4,
for example, in his dictionary of English surnames, mentions a Peter
Piebakere, 1320, Adam le piemakere, 1332 and John Pyrnan, 1524. The
name is also suggestive of the bird called magpie, a type of crow noted
for its boldness and habit of noisy chattering. Indeed the French word
for magpie is "pie". Supporting this theory is the expression "As pert
as a Pye". The word "pert" is defined in Webster's dictionary as "bold
or impudent in speech or behavior; saucy; forward". But the name more
likely refers to a location - it could have been derived from Puy near
Dieppe across the English Channel or Le Puy in the Loire valley in
southern France. A medal of a Raymond de Puy, Grand Master of the
Knights Hospital of Jerusalem, for example, is now preserved in the
Norfolk County Museum.
The late Charles Gordon Pye of Massachusetts, USA, has
suggested that the surname Pye was derived from the early Welsh
of' "ap Hugh" (meaning son of Hugh) as "Apee" which in time evolved
into "Pye". The writer, however, is rather of the opinion that de Pie
or de Puy is the original French or Norman family or locality name of
Hugh de Kilpeck, Herefordshire, who may have registered the name "Pye"
at the time of the Doomsday census in 1086. A Norman or French origin
is further suggested by a record of a John and Fulco Pie de Boeuf in
1180-11955 the name "Pie"(pronounced 'pee'in French) or "Puy" may simply have been anglicised to "Pye" after the Conquest of 1066.
THE PYES OF HEREFORDSHIRE
According to Charles Gordon Pye, the first Pyes of Herefordshire,
England, may have been of Viking origin. They can be traced back in
time, to Fitz Thorir Thobard (Herbert), a steersman in the fleet of
Rolf the Ganger, who helped to defeat the French in
9126. As a reward, Thobard was granted the Fiefdom of Maera
in Normandy, and became known as the Sieur de la Mare (Lord of the
sea). A Son or grandson, William Fitz Norman in turn served under his
kinsman,after which
he was awarded the castle of Kilpeck in the former small Welsh Kingdom
of Erging (Archenfield) near Much Dewchurch in
Herefordshire.7
William's son, Hugh (Pye) de Kopeck served in the first crusade
(1095-1099). According to legend, he was captured and imprisoned by the
Emir Mohammed Amiraud. He is said to have fallen in love with the
latter's daughter, who soon became the mother of a girl named "Susan
Pye"(b.1097), and arranged Hugh's escape from his
captors.8 Susan Pye is said to have eventually married
Gilbert Becket, who sired Thomas Becket (b.1117), the famous archbishop
70. The story of
Susan's romance (in which Susan perhaps is confused with her mother) is
recorded in the old English ballad "Young Beckie". According to legend,
in memory of his Saracen mother, Thomas Beckett is said to have had a
gold scimitar hung over the high altar of Canterbury Cathedral
9 It was Hugh de Kilpeck who had the present Church of St
Mary and St. David built at Kilpeck following his deliverence from
captivity and return from the Holy
Land.10
Hugh de Kilpeck married Meirig, the daughter of the Welsh King Griffin,
whose dowry was the Manor of Saddlebow in the parish of Orcop,
Herefordshire. Hugh had three sons: Thomas, Henry, and John. Upon
Hugh's death, Henry became the next Lord of Kilpeck, and Thomas and
John inherited Orcop and the Manor of Saddlebow. In 1196, Henry de
Kilpeck was succeeded by his son John, who inherited Kilpeck and all
the forests of Herefordshire. John probably served in the third crusade
of 1190-93, and had the singular honour of being described by King John
as the "Greatest Knight in
Christendom".ll

Figure No.2: The Family Tree of the Pyes of the Mynde. (After Delphine Coleman,
Orcop, p. 61.
An interesting descendant of Hugh Pye de Kilpeck
was John Pye de Mynde, named after the family's new place of residence
at Bryn's Place or Mynde Park, about a mile from Kilpeck, acquired in
1475 through the marriage of his father (John Tregos Pye) to Agnes,
daughter of Roger de Mynde. Like his forbears, John Pye traveled to the
Holy Land. He was perhaps the most amorous and virile of the early
Pyes. He died in 1547 at the then-astounding age of 106. His tombstone
in the Church of Much Dewchurch
readsl2: "Here lies the body of John Pye of Mynde, a traveler in far
countries, his life he ended. He left behind him Walter, his son, heir
of Mynde, and forty-two children. He was 106 years old truly. He was in
Jerusalem and at the sepulcher of Christ. He was married three times
and fathered {an additional} 43 children. He also had 22 children by
concubines, in all 64 children. He completed the 24 Acts of Chivalry
which few men could do them all."

Of the several Barons of Kilpeck, the most
renowned was Sir Walter Pye de Mynde. He was born Oct 9,1571. Following
education at Oxford, he qualified at the Bar in 1597, and through the
influence of Lord Buckingham, was appointed as Attorney to the Court of
Wards and Liveries, with a salary of 1500 pounds Stirling per annum. He
was knighted by Charles I on June 20, 1640, for services to the state.

It was not uncommon for the members of an
extended family to support opposite sides in the Civil War. It has been
reported that the family of Robert Pye of Farington Manor in Berkshire,
for example, supported Parliament rather than the King. Early in the
Royalists. In 1644, Parliamentary forces under the command of Robert
Farington House itself were able to hold out against Pye's bombardment.

to one of the colonies for "violent assault" the same year; and Richard
Pye, for theft, in 1752. In the late 1700s, Thomas Pye organized and
led a gang of criminals who terrorized the Norfolk countryside, robbing
travelers, rustling cattle, and assaulting local farmers and their
helpers. In 1838, a Richard Pye was transported to Australia after
having been found guilty of stealing two sheep and a lamb from James
Rump of Swanton Morley; and in 1902, William Pye, shoemaker, was found
guilty of the murder of his brother Thomas at Rockthorpe and was
sentenced to 12 years penal servitude in the Norwich
gaol.27
The Pyes of Norwich were more notable. Edward Pye served as sheriff in
1571; John Pye, as sheriff, in 1579; Thomas Pye, as Sheriff in 1581,
and as Mayor in 1597; Richard Pye, as Councilor, in 1587; and Henry
Pye, as sheriff in
158328 Thomas Pye, a dedicated civil servant, founded alms houses for the poor in
From Norwich some Pyes, many of whom became agricultural workers,
migrated to the countryside and soon were found in Buxton and nearby
settlements - Aylsham, Booton, Cawston, Coltishall, Hainford
(Hayneford), Horsted, Lammas, and elsewhere. My branch of the Pye
family has been traced with reasonable confidence to Nicholas Pye, who
lived in Buxton in the mid-1600s.

When you think about bastions of liberal activism, the deep red state of North Carolina The Tar Heel state has given us NRA-graded “A+” Senator Thom Tillis and “Freedom Caucus,” which is the fancy new name for the Tea Party. They’ve decimated tax revenue in their own state, driven away a major sports conference with an anti-equality bathroom bill they were forced to repeal, and they have been unrepentant in defending illegally gerrymandered districts that blatantly disenfranchise voters based on race.
And the Republicans there just raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Not for everyone, mind you. The law is aimed at state employees, much like President Obama did for federal contract employees back in 2014 through an executive order. But the fact that the North Carolina state GOP could be possessed to do such a thing when it is contrary to the Republican mantra that raising the minimum wage somehow hurts a company’s bottom line — not to mention the Republican voter mantra that “it’s not fair that unskilled workers should make more” — is absolutely unheard of.
So why did they do it? In a word: Recruiting. No matter what political party you belong to, you understand that the operation of any system of government requires employees, and North Carolina was having a really hard time attracting and keeping employees while offering the low federally-mandated minimum wage of $7.25 an hour — a number that hasn’t gone up in nearly a decade.
According to this morning’s report from the Associated Press, state lawmakers may not have been entirely pure of heart:.”
Regardless, the move is at odds with the national effort by Republicans to resist increases in the minimum wage, and Donald Trump himself is likely to weigh in on it as soon as he gets done with this round of golf, caddied by kids making minimum wage.

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will investigate t science graduate of London University in the employ of a British firm in London, who has been offered a responsible position in this country as an employee of a company in Canada wishing 526W to buy British chemicals for sale in Canada after the war, thus aiding our export position, but his application for release has been refused although his present employers agree.
I have investigated the case, details of which have been sent to me by my hon. Friend. It is the case that the science graduate in question had the permission of his present employers to transfer to employment with the Canadian Company, but it was made clear that the work upon which he is engaged required that he should be replaced. The need for chemists for urgent war work is still so great as to make it difficult to agree to the proposed transfer at the moment, but I hope to be able to suggest an arrangemented.

After a lackluster debate performance, Trump has stayed focussed on attacking Clinton.
Donald Trump is attempting to regain his focus.
Following Monday night's much-criticized presidential debate performance against Hillary Clinton, Trump has returned to the campaign trail intent on honing his message on what he perceives to be his rival's weaknesses. On Wednesday, at a rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, he rarely strayed from what proved to be an anti-Clinton rant.
