• The place: A two-level, two-bedroom townhouse on a narrow street between Ossington Avenue and Trinity Bellwoods Park.
• The buyers: Despite the neighbourhood’s hipster reputation, the home attracted a steady stream of young professionals. They were primarily enticed by the location. The renovated kitchen, backyard and upper deck were also draws.
I’ve seen in a few online posts (including http://themashcanada.blogspot.ca/2013/04/price-drop-17-rebecca-street-trinity.html#!/2013/04/price-drop-17-rebecca-street-trinity.html) that this house has a termite issue. Not to mention the cosntruction around it, looks like it will be surrounded by condos on all sides. Plus rumours of no central heating. An issue-free house would have sold for much more. | 2019-04-26T00:08:46Z | https://torontolife.com/real-estate/sold-house-of-the-week-june-12/ |

Offers a light-hearted take on how mathematics and computing relate to the world around us.
The intent of this book is to examine the psychological and social worlds of physically ill patients-an area that particularly needs attention today, since the great advances in medical science have caused many to minimize pa tients' emotional concerns. However, the pendulum has begun to swing back to the interrelationship of body and mind. Quality of life is again becoming a critical consideration in treatment. In writing the book I have drawn upon my own clinical experiences as a psychologist working with the physically ill. I have also drawn upon studies of the psychological factors in medical illness, and I was pleased to find a growing body of research. Although the book is primarily directed to psy chotherapists, it will benefit anyone involved in the care of those with medical problems, such as family and friends, as well as medical professionals. vii Acknowledgments I would particularly like to thank Redjeb Jordania for his endless patience, support, and encouragement from the very beginning of this project, and for his valuable suggestions and editorial comments along the way.

The administrator of your Facebook page – whether yourself or another member of your team - needs to be aware that new changes are coming soon. According to official information, Facebook pages won’t be able to send promotional messages to users unless they are approved for subscription permissions.
Prepare for the changes in advance and learn everything you need to know about the upcoming updates from this post.
Subscription messaging is one of the messaging features developed by Facebook. Mostly, it provides subscribed users with notifications about news and updates published on the particular page.
All kinds of news, including weather, sports, politics, traffic, business and finance, etc.
Personal purposes, such as self-monitoring in terms of fitness, health, etc.
Managing of users’ activity, including calendars, reminders, bills, etc.
Initially, subscription messaging was not created as a promotional tool, however, business pages were actively using them to inform subscribed customers about news related to their services.
Unfortunately, Facebook discourages any messaging that include information about discounts, sales, deals, and all similar announcements.
How is sending subscription messages good for your business?
Facebook is one of the strongest promotional channels today. Millions use it regularly to find products and services. The number of clicks via Facebook and Messenger in particular are ten times larger than the number of clicks made in email. This is a valuable marketing tool that business owners shouldn’t ignore.
What’s more, with Facebook, your audience becomes more targeted and interested in your product. Think about it: when someone subscribes to your page, it means that he or she would like to keep in touch with you and are interested in your business. Subscribed users want to know about the updates you are going to offer.
This type of business-customer relations is the strongest one allowing you to communicate with them on professional, emotional, and intellectual levels. As you know, engaged customers are everything in the world of online business.
How to start using this feature?
Choose Advanced Messaging Features and press Request - After you do so, the app will ask you some questions: type of messages you are going to send (news, personal tracker, managing); additional info about the services your chat bot offers; examples of your messages. The last one is the most confusing.
Your aim is to make your application look like an informational one, not promotional. Considering the fact that a real person will evaluate it, you should be careful when choosing words and phrases.
Many marketers fail to pass the application process since their pages have obvious marketing purposes. The good news is if your first application was denied, you can always make a second one, and a third one and on and on. Fortunately, the number of applications you can send to Facebook is unlimited.
Of course, your business may not be related to most types listed above, however, you can still find a way to qualify.
What if you don’t get approved for the subscription messaging feature?
You won’t be able to send the subscription messages to your customers starting from the 1st of January, 2019. Business pages need permission to send messages to their audience via Messenger and inform them about the service updates, new arrivals, discounts, etc.
It’s extremely beneficial to use Facebook Messenger for your marketing due to convenient interface, push notifications, and incredible level of trust and engagement. Look into the 2019 changes so you won’t get left behind.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 3, 2019--As it moves towards its 200 th year, America’s Oldest Wine Shop Acker Merrall & Condit, the world’s leading luxury wine auction house, is proud to announce a complete rebrand to “Acker.” The rebrand launches a year of dynamic change in Acker’s auction and retail business, including remarkable live auctions, one-of-a-kind immersive luxury wine tastings, a forthcoming book, and more.
Established in 1820, the company, led by Chairman and renowned fine wine expert John Kapon, has transformed from a family business into an international wine auction house that holds over 15 live auctions each year in the U.S. and Asia, and online auctions every month. Its current sales channels include Acker Auctions, Wine Club, The Wine Workshop, and the retail store.
The shortening of its name to “Acker” reflects its dedication to personally connecting with customers on a first name basis. The new motto “Shared Experiences, Individual Attention” reflects Ackers escalation of the art and enjoyment of wine consumption to a never-before-seen level. A unique virtue to Acker, the auction is a feast for wine lovers to gather and an opportunity for the wine auction house to share its passion and insights.
Renowned for offering the widest selection of the rarest and most highly sought-after wine to enthusiasts, collectors and burgeoning wine lovers worldwide, this spring, Acker will host three remarkable live auctions in New York and its first-ever spirits auction in Hong Kong. The first, on April 6 th, focuses on “ The Chalet Collection,” from a lifelong European collector and lover of wines including numerous lots of rare, coveted Selosse Champagne, Armand Rousseau and Domaine de la Romanee Conti. The entire auction is estimated to bring in five million dollars. The second, on May 15 th, will dazzle with its offer of limited production Rhone-style cult wines from Sine Qua Non and one of the largest offers ever of their wines. A portion of the proceeds will go to a charity of producers’ Manfred and Elaine Krankl’s choice.
The Hong Kong auction on May 11 th will be Acker’s first ever Spirits only auction, focusing on coveted whiskeys, bourbons and cognacs from the world’s most collectible producers. “Spirits are an increasingly important part of the market, and we are excited to expand our regular offerings of the world’s finest beverages,” added Kapon. Acker will close its season in New York on June 19 th with an offering from the personal collection of legendary German wine importer, Rudi Wiest.
For more information on Acker’s upcoming auctions, or to consign a collection, please visit www.ackerwines.com.
Established in 1820, Acker is the oldest wine shop in America and the world’s largest fine and rare wine auction house. Since third generation wine merchant John Kapon, Chairman of Acker, started the auction business in 1998, the house has gained worldwide recognition. Acker offers a vast array of services, including cellar consultations, a deep retail inventory of fine and rare wine for immediate sale, first class wine education amenities, in-store tastings of high-end wines daily, and its ne plus ultra – fine and rare wine auctions. | 2019-04-23T00:10:07Z | https://www.apnews.com/bee3246480e3485490d170e1f4e892a6 |

Sometimes it is of interest to ignore small files. rdfind already ignores empty files by default. The suggestion is to replace the -ignoreempty flag (or complement it) with a -minsize N flag where N is the minimum size in bytes. Using N=0 would mean empty files are included.
This is an old issue, reported by Andrew Buehler 20131130.
Also it would be great to have a sensible default of e.g. 0.5 MB. This would likely speed up every execution a lot.
This is now implemented. The default is 1 byte, because -minsize1 is a synonym to -ignoreempty true, which is already the default.
I think this is worth a release, maybe 1.4.
Yep, that is the plan. I have some other changes as well which are almost finished.
This is now in https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind/releases/tag/releases%2F1.4.0-alpha0 Would you mind giving it a go, @thomas-mc-work ?
Excuse me for the delay. I've tested this now and it's working gracefully.
Optionally it'd be lovely to have short notations for kilo/mega bytes like 4M or 10K. | 2019-04-23T18:52:20Z | https://github.com/pauldreik/rdfind/issues/1 |
Autism is a set of child developmental delays and disabilities. It includes impaired social interaction and communications, delayed and impaired verbal and language skills, and focus on repetitive activities. Autism is just one of several related disorders in the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) classification. Asperger’s Syndrome is the second most common ASD illness after autism and generally differs from autism because language development is not affected as severely.
The incidence of autism has been rapidly increasing in many places. Although there appears to be no single cause for this, nutritional modifications both for pregnant women and children have been found to exert significant improvements on outcomes both in terms of lowering rates of autism and helping children overcome some of the developmental and behavioral problems it causes. | 2019-04-20T00:28:04Z | http://angiemedia.com/tag/l-taurine/ |
Does anyone have Si joint Dysfunction AND Piriformis Syndrome? Anyone have the si fusion that had piriformis pain too and the fusion surgery relieved it? ANY insight or testimonies appreciated.
I've been dealing with back pain for over 2 years now, been to with 3 different pt offices, and am currently going to a Pain clinic. I've had numerous injections including epidural, spinal nerve blocks, si joint injections, piriformis, iliacus, and psoas injections.
My pain after my si joint injections have been going away. However, I'm still left with pain in my piriformis and pain going down my leg.
There's a possibility of si joint fusion surgery. I'm scared, because what if I do it, and it doesn't take my pain away? My dr did say it could be a combination of things like both my si and my piriformis. Has anyone had both Si Joint fusion and Piriformis Release surgery at the same time?
please use the link below to provide us with more information so members can reply.
also, click on the welcome link below and tutorial to help you get started on the forum.
The Piriformis stabslizes the SI joint. I had Botox into my Piriformis and it completely made my SI pain unbearable.

Very serious moment from one of my NaNo videos.
Remember that time I was a NaNoWriMo YouTube Guide? I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since then! I learned a lot of great lessons from being a YouTube Guide, and I’m sharing them in my latest guest blog post on Writing Belle’s website: http://www.writingbelle.com/2017/09/award-winning-author-christie-stratos.html.
There are some lessons you learn only by making mistakes, and there are some you stumble into. I hope you enjoy my post about setting unrealistic goals with good intentions, impacting others positively by accident, and honoring your accomplishments.

The chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa is calling for the resignation of a state legislator — a Democrat accused of fudging his address and getting reduced school tuition rates for his children.
A special investigation by the state auditor concluded State Representative Kerry Burt, a Democrat from Waterloo, misstated his home address and saved $37,000 in tuition and fee for his children to attend the Price Lab School at the University of Northern Iowa.
Matt Strawn, the chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa, says Burt has shown a "lack of respect for the law" and should immediately resign from the legislature. Strawn says Burt should repay the $37,000, too.
A spokesman for the Iowa Democratic Party says they have no statement to make on the matter.
Burt was accused of drunken driving earlier this year; a trial on those charges is scheduled to start in about a month.
The Price Lab School’s former director, Dave Smith, also misstated his home address and the auditor says Smith saved almost 15-thousand dollars in tuition as a result. Smith recently left the Price Lab School. He’s now the superintendent in Spririt Lake. | 2019-04-19T20:22:42Z | https://www.radioiowa.com/2009/07/17/gop-chair-calls-for-resignation-of-democratic-lawmaker/ |

This simple Thai dish, that can easily be substituted for any number or proteins beef, shrimp, salmon, tofu, or sweet potatoes, comes with an addictive dipping sauce that will have everyone fighting to scrape the bowl. Serves 12 for appetizers. Sauce can be refrigerated in an air tight container for up to one week. Enjoy!
12 metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden, soak thoroughly to prevent scorching or burning on the grill.
In a blender, combine peanut butter, chutney, lime juice, 1 tablespoon tamari, garlic, pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup water.
Blend until smooth & set aside.
Thread chicken piece onto skewer, folding and threading as you go so that the skewer goes in and out of the meat in an accordion fashion. Repeat with all remaining chicken strips.
Gently brush chicken with safflower oil and season with a pinch of salt.
Grill chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer to platter, garnish with cilantro, if desired. | 2019-04-25T21:54:16Z | http://www.happybeingclean.com/home/2018/7/23/chicken-satay-with-peanut-chutney |

Thoughts regarding one’s existence are something that many people experience, and yet nothing good ever comes out of them.
When push comes to shove, all of these ideas can lead you to experience what is known as an existential crisis – The moment where you question your very nature as a living being and fail to get a satisfying answer.
This process of asking questions, getting no answers, and focusing on negative emotions is called rumination.
Rumination is a common cause of depression and should be avoided whenever possible.
This combination of factors leads to what is known as existential depression.
The idea where a perceived lack of meaning in life can serve as the cause of a depressive disorder.
Both mind and body are dominated by this disorder, causing your entire life to spiral out of control.
Is there something that can be done about it? Yes, absolutely.
It is important to note that existential depression originates from your own thinking without any other external causes.
In other words, on the outside, it might seem as though there are no causes for your condition.
Sure, certain experiences might provoke thoughts regarding the meaning of life, but existential depression is largely attributed to more intellectual causes.
Now, keep in mind that existential depression is a largely unexplored and vastly under-researched topic.
Data is limited and because of that, it’s very important that we grab onto any piece of expert opinion and research that we can get our hands on.
Aside from that, due to existential depression being caused by our own thoughts, it should be possible to combat it through a similar method.
After all, you can only ruminate as long as your thoughts do not reach a logical conclusion.
By reaching a conclusion, you are essentially putting an end to your existential thoughts.
Existentialism is the idea that humans are inherently driven to find meaning in their lives.
It assumes that humans have no inherent meaning and tells us that, as free and thinking creatures, our fate is in our own hands.
This is both a beautiful and inspiring idea.
In a way, it both takes away, as well as gives you, responsibility.
On one hand, you are still chasing the idea of finding meaning in your existence.
On the other hand, you are the only one who can actually find that meaning.
By “chasing” meaning in your life, you accept that you haven’t found it yet.
Your life’s meaning right now is to find meaning, and thus you continue searching.
Furthermore, it also relieves you from the responsibility of finding meaning in life right now.
For people with an existential crisis, as well as existential depression, this is a huge benefit.
The biggest thing about such thoughts is that they are obsessive in nature.
You can’t just wonder about the meaning of your very existence and then just forget about it.
No, instead you will probably keep thinking about this problem on and on, despite these thoughts not being healthy for you.
By applying existentialism, you acknowledge the fact that you do not know the meaning of your life, but you are still searching for it.
By choosing to look at the reason for your existence as a goal to be achieved, rather than a question you have to answer (what is the meaning of life?), you can certainly relieve yourself of a lot of stress.
In other words, finding a purpose is your purpose.
Up until now I have talked about how the search for meaning is enough of a validation for your existence as it is, but that just brings up the question – How do you search for meaning?
After all, people with an existential disorder spent a fair bit of time searching for meaning and yet found no answer.
That is what caused their existential depression in the first place!
The answer to this question is simple – Think less and do more.
The truth is that people who are active rarely suffer from existential depression when compared to their less active counterparts.
Here’s the deal – immersing yourself in an engaging activity is, by far, the best method for overcoming existential depression.
One group of researchers attempted to find the effects therapeutic horticulture (basically gardening) on existential depression.
They gathered their participants and had them go through a 12-week therapeutic horticulture program, with a 3 months follow-up to ensure lasting results.
When they gathered the results they noticed that data seemed to suggest that this exercise was extremely beneficial.
The participants, in their own words, noted that it was “meaningful” and “influential” for their view of life.
In other words, the experience changed their previous mindset.
The participants found “meaning” in doing what amounts to gardening.
In other words, they did something that they found enjoyable as well as relaxing and got benefited from it as a result.
By taking action they actually improved their condition.
So, knowing this, what can’t you do that same?
It is important to note that, in this particular case, the activity itself should be first and foremost engaging, not necessarily enjoyable.
This line of thinking comes from the idea of “flow”.
I already talked about this before in another article, but it applies in this case as well.
Basically, the idea of flow is that you become so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter.
Whenever you are engaged with something that is challenging, but not too challenging (otherwise you will develop anxiety) and requires a certain amount of skill (in order to not become boring), you get into this “flow” mindset.
According to psychologist Dr. Mmihaly Csikszentmihalyi, this mindset can directly contribute to happiness.
Find something to do, something that will make you engaged as well as making you immersed in it, and you are much more likely to become happy.
Another great example would be people who got into social activism within their own community.
In a way, it allowed them to be a part of something much bigger than themselves, and those draw a sense of meaning from it.
Either way, finding something engaging/enjoyable to do has been found to largely attribute to happiness, so it’s definitely worth trying out even if you are skeptical.
Another great benefit of immersing yourself in an activity is that it leaves you with less time to focus on your own thoughts.
That being said, how do you engage and immerse yourself in your free time?
After all, you are guaranteed to have at least some time for yourself, what happens then?
The answer to this question is both simple and difficult at the same time.
Think for a moment about what you do in your spare time.
Do you spend your days watching the TV? Do you play video games? Go to random pubs?
Needless to say, these actions are not really engaging and will not help you overcome your existential depression.
Based on the idea of finding an immersive and engaging thing to do you should do your best to get a new hobby.
It doesn’t really matter what it is, as long as it will keep you busy.
Another thing to notice is that spending time with your friends can be both a good thing and a bad thing.
Friends are great distractions and you can easily find yourself being immersed in a conversation with them.
After all, you share many of the same interests.
On the other hand, friends can also ruin your immersion and draw you into a conversation, essentially taking away from the activity as a whole.
To some people, getting their friends involved is only a distraction and will not help them.
To others, getting other people involved is only a distraction.
It really depends on who you are as a person.
Existential depression treatment is simple, but it’s far from being easy.
The truth is that we don’t really need an epic conclusion to this line of thinking, we don’t need to have this “aha!” moment.
Living a life in which you are constantly engaged and immersed in different things will help you avoid existential depression altogether.
In that sense, this is the best treatment for existential depression.
Still, if these thoughts continue to persist you should definitely meet with an expert or look into a training program.
As this article demonstrated, self-help can be just as effective as therapy, if not more so.
The best self-help product I could find regarding depression is the “Destroy Depression System“.
In it, you will find a lot of practical advice, ranging from dietary recommendations all the way to behavioral therapy.
The system is fully refundable so there is very little reason to not try it out for yourself.
If you got any further questions then please share them with me through either the comment section below or by sending me an email. | 2019-04-19T11:05:57Z | https://projectconquest.org/how-to-overcome-existential-depression |

On September 23, 2017, APHIS and CDFA established a Medfly quarantine in a regulated area of Fairfield, California, restricting interstate movement of regulated articles from this area to prevent the spread of Medfly to non-infested areas of the United States. This action was necessary after one adult female and four adult male Medflies were detected between August 23 and September 25, 2017. Since that time, APHIS has worked cooperatively with the CDFA and the Solano County Agricultural Commissioner’s office to eradicate the transient Medfly population through various control actions per program protocols.
For additional information on the Medfly quarantine area, please contact National Fruit Fly Policy Manager John Stewart at 919-855-7426. | 2019-04-25T04:22:40Z | https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDAAPHIS/bulletins/2061738 |

If you read this blog you know that we’ve been a dollar bull, for a while. Great … how do you make money from that? Do you simply step into the fray and short the EURO right here right now OR do your rules require you to wait for a PATTERN to appear … my rules are the latter.
this AM, some craziness about ECB, rates cut, QE ( I like QEE – quantitative easing European), deflation and blah blah blah. who cares ….
let’s find a pattern for support and MAYBE BUY this puppy up into the 1.32-3400 handle. Or, just wait for the bounce and sell pattern to appear.
either way, here’s my latest attempt.
note in the chart below, we define the rock hitting the water as the initial impulse move down. from there we can calculate the fundamental frequency and come up w/ a target. that is the horizontal blue line ….
since WAVES are being produced we can now project those waves for price and time targets. how do we do that … we use the POLARITY PRINCIPLE. expand the initital impulse arc by fibonacci (music), sacred geometry (1-5, square roots, inverse of those square roots) and the equal octave scale of music. the KEY is to use past ARC resistance and support and look for the future areas transposed on the arcs as you project them. as technicians we “usually” use horizontal support and resistance. we are basically doing the same thing but w/ a twist … we are using the natural plane of the markets movement (X,Y,Z) to see the waves and therefore musical polarity. | 2019-04-26T06:41:25Z | https://bartscharts.com/2014/09/04/musical-polarity-and-having-fun-w-voo-doo-euro-waves/ |

TAMPA — John Wise always said "hello" to neighbor Kelly Garrison, but it wasn’t until they shared some strawberry daiquiris that he ever got to know her.
Barely two minutes after she left his Carrollwood apartment that night, Dec. 30, he heard a scream "like nothing I’ve ever heard before."
It was coming from Garrison’s front door. Wise, 54, kicked it in.
It was dark, but he saw a man wearing a hoodie and a headlamp pinning Garrison down. Her gasps for air sounded like her last.
He kicked the assailant in the head and lifted him off her. The two struggled for several minutes before the attacker fled.
"I was fighting for my life," Wise said.
But Wise wasn’t there Thursday morning when Kelley James McDonald tracked Garrison, his 35-year-old ex-wife, to her sister’s home in Georgia.
In a few horrific moments, McDonald fatally shot both women then himself, orphaning the 2-year-old daughter the couple had together, authorities said.
McDonald, 39, also shot a 16-year-old girl in the home, seriously injuring her, according to the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office.
Garrison, who taught elementary grades at Corbett Preparatory School in Carrollwood, was harassed and threatened by her ex-husband for more than two years, according to a petition for protection she filed in Hillsborough County a few days after the Dec. 30 attack.
That led the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office to secure a warrant for McDonald’s arrest on charges of breaking and entering and assault, sheriff’s records show. Deputies trying to find him heard from one family member that he was hiding out, the records show.
An injunction granted by the court ordered McDonald to stay at least 300 feet away from Garrison and to surrender any firearms to the Sheriff’s Office.
Four months later, however, McDonald was still at large. On Thursday, he arrived in Dahlonega, Ga., about an hour north of Atlanta, and found his daughter and ex-wife at her sister’s house, Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said at a Thursday afternoon news conference.
"They had left the Florida area to come here and hide for safety and the suspect found them at this location," Jarrad said.
After entering the house about 8:30 a.m., McDonald shot Garrison’s sister, 38-year-old Tracy Lynne Runnels, then continued through the house and shot the 16-year-old girl, the Sheriff’s Office said. Then he fatally shot Garrison before turning his gun on himself. Another girl, 13, escaped through a back door and called 911.
McDonald’s daughter was not injured, but the 16-year-old girl underwent a number of surgeries and was recovering Friday, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Garrison and McDonald met in 2009 and married in 2011. By the spring of 2016, McDonald’s behavior was alarming his wife, her petition in Hillsborough County states. It included an eight-page attachment chronicling months of threats and harassment before and after their divorce in October.
McDonald accused Garrison of cheating on him, threatened to "take care" of a male acquaintance of hers, hacked her email account and refused to let her go to the beach "because he said guys would hit on me and try to sleep with me," she wrote in the petition. In August 2016, she found an audio recorder in her purse, and her husband admitted placing it there, the petition says.
The following month, a family counselor urged Garrison to file for divorce.
"She said (McDonald) needed help from a psychiatrist for his serious psychiatric problems and that he has all the signs of a violent person who could lose control at any time," Garrison wrote.
Last April, McDonald told Garrison that if she went through with a pending divorce, their daughter "won’t have any parents," she wrote. Garrison was puzzled.
"He said it again but louder, ‘She will not have ANY parents,’" she wrote in the court filing.
The following month, Garrison moved out of the townhome the couple shared. On moving day, according to the petition, McDonald told her, "I’ll get you back for this when you least expect it."
The divorce was finalized Oct. 27, but McDonald continued to harass and threaten Garrison for the next two months, the petition says.
Records show McDonald had two prior arrests in Florida. He entered a pretrial diversion program after a 2009 arrest on charges of resisting an officer without violence on the Florida State University campus.
In September 2012, he was arrested in Hillsborough County on a charge of grand theft, later dropped after he completed pre-trial diversion.
Donna McDonald, who said she was McDonald’s stepmother, declined to comment Friday.
"We’re still in shock," she said.
The petition Garrison filed also details the Dec. 30 attack.
McDonald was waiting for Garrison in her apartment. He forced her to the ground, wrapped his arm around her neck and covered her mouth, the petition says.
"He was forcing my head down with such force that it felt like my neck was going to snap," Garrison wrote. "I couldn’t breathe. .?.?. I was praying for God not to let me die this way and leave my daughter without a mother."
Wise, the neighbor who intervened, said he hurt this shoulder in the fight. McDonald is 6-foot-2 and weighed 185 pounds when he was arrested in 2012.
A former mixed martial arts fighter, Wise works as a property manager.
After McDonald fled, Wise went back to his apartment to get his gun. When he returned, the lights were on in Garrison’s apartment and he saw blood and strawberry daiquiri spilled on the floor.
Garrison, able to stand, told Wise, "That’s my ex-husband."
"When it’s a child or a woman, I can’t stick my head in the sand."
In the following weeks, Wise became something of a guardian for Garrison. He would text her coming back from his 4:30 a.m. daily trip to the gym and she would leave for work after he made sure all was clear. He worried McDonald might attack him.
About seven weeks ago, Wise stopped hearing from Garrison. He thought she was in protective custody. He was shocked and shed tears when a reporter told him Friday she had been killed.
"I can’t believe it’s been four months and they hadn’t caught that guy," Wise said.
The Sheriff’s Office used every tool it had to find McDonald, including help from the local U.S. Marshals’ task force, sheriff’s spokesman Danny Alvarez said.
"This is a tragic incident," Alvarez said. "You can fathom how frustrating it is to be looking for him at this level and not find him."
Garrison was in her second stint teaching primary school grades at Corbett Prep, said headmaster Joyce Burick Swarzman. Seven weeks ago, Garrison went on leave so she could head to Georgia.
"She knew what she needed to do," Burick Swarzman told the Tampa Bay Times on Friday.
The school learned of Garrison’s death Thursday night. Burick Swarzman said staffers planned to tell children Friday.
"This is one of these senseless things that are unthinkable, unimaginable, and horrific and so unfair," she said. "We are all mourning her loss."
Garrison was beloved by the students, well-liked at school.
"Her dream was for her baby to grow up here at Corbett Prep. Everyone will miss her light."

KUT's O’Dark 30 is now in semi-prime time with more of the very best from the world of independent radio production. Sunday nights at 10 on Austin's KUT 90.5 we present 3 hours of a wee bit of everything from the world of independent radio production.
These are public radio stories made over many years, by producer Jay Allison -- working together with Christina Egloff, and friends, colleagues, neighbors, strangers and whoever would take the loan of one of his tape recorders. They are are stories about life as we find it, and record it. HOST: Alex Chadwick In this hour: Beginnings (9:45) A chorus of artists recalling the moment they began. Jack Murdurian Sings (6:00) The sound of art and memory fused on an audio cassette. How many songs can he sing in 45 minues without stopping? Produced with David Greenberger. Jungles of Memory (23:15) A story of war and sanctuary, of beasts and obsession, the story of James McMullen and the Florida Panther. Lead Producer, Christina Egloff. Cypress Knees (12:55) The 70-year-old King of the cypress swamp has trouble remembering exactly where he is, even as he scampers barefoot along a single board catwalk suspended above the slough. Ghosts (4:00) Even though she's not sure there are, writer Carol Wasserman hopes there are ghosts next door. Produced with Viki Merrick.
In this short segment Rabbi Neil Blumofe highlights the significance of Mile Davis' album Kind of Blue.
The 1950s were a time of great uncertainty in America. The Cold War, segregation and homophobia added to social fears and neurosis. When Kind of Blue was released in August of 1959 it was received as a collective deep breath among a generation on edge. In this feature rabbi Neil Blumofe highlights the significance of this album at it's time, and offers a spiritual perspective on what it means to us even today.
Check out KUT's Views and Brews on Miles Davis and The Making of Kind of Blue recorded live at the Cactus Cafe in Austin, Texas.
When Re:sound host, Gwen Macsai was fourteen, the incredible female race-horse, Ruffian, ran straight into her heart and left a permanent impression.
It’s June 1973 and Secretariat has just become the first horse in 25 years to win the triple crown, obliterating his competition in the Belmont stakes by 31 lengths and setting a new world record. Interest in horseracing is soaring. Women’s Lib is in full swing. Ms. Magazine is just one year old. The Equal Rights Ammendment has been ratified in 30 states but is still a very contentious issue. And in September of ’73, a loud-mouth former tennis champion named Bobby Riggs becomes the male chauvinist pig that everyone loved to hate.
This was the climate in which a beautiful female race-horse named Ruffian captured the attention of the country, and stole Gwen Macsai's fourteen-year-old heart. In this personal essay, Gwen recounts Ruffian's racing career, including her tragic battle-the-sexes race that ended in heartbreak.
A beautiful story of adoption from rural East Cork - two children from Guatemala, an English mother and an Italian father.
This documentary tells the story of the adoption of two children from Guatemala by a couple in County Cork.
Los Preciosos means 'the precious ones,' and this documentary follows the story of years of assessment by domestic social workers, monumental bureaucracy in Ireland, England and Guatemala, and eventually traveling to bring the child home. And then there is another child . . .
There is a twist in the tale of this story of a family of many nationalities - an English mother, an Italian father, two Guatemalan children, all living in rural East Cork.
It tells the emotional and practical journey of making an adoptive family.
It used to be people would say "Oh, the 1940s and 50s, that was the Golden Age of radio." Maybe ten years ago they were right.
Now, I'd say the 2010s are Golden Age of Radio. Take radio itself then add on satellite radio, HD radio, the internet, podcasts, mobile devices... the deluge of audio content is ridiculous. And, I didn't even mention audio tours, the topic on this edition of HowSound.
Radio producer Pejk Malinovski has ventured into the world of producing audio tours. He thinks other radio producers should, too, if for no other reason than they both use the same tools and skill set. Pejk's first audio tour production was Passing Stranger: The East Village Poetry Walk . On HowSound, Pejk talks about the tour and some of the differences between producing for radio and producing for a tour.
You should be sure to visit the Passing Stranger site AFTER you listen to the podcast. It's fascinating to see how they repurposed the audio tour for the web. Insanely clever, I'd say.
So a guy walks into a bar and... nothing happens. Chatterbox presents an original comedy about thunderstorms, dictionaries, and the expectations of entertainment.
I wish very much that Roman à Clef was itself a roman à clef, but no such luck. It would more appropriately be described as an allegory, a farce -- or maybe just one really long, goofy joke.
Conceived during a fit of frustration with television (and all forms of mindless entertainment), Roman à Clef was originally written as a stage play. But after finishing I realized that, given the static setting and the stationary characters, it would make for a fairly dull stage play, at least visually. Adapting it for audio, however, made perfect sense.
Silly as it is, the show attempts to touch on some serious topics, and I hope that attempt comes through; I hope that, unlike the boys at the bar, you will reach the end of the play with some notion of larger issues. If nothing else, the next time you’re sprawled out in front of the TV, I hope you’ll at least ask yourself: "Why the hell am I watching this?"
William Pope.L, an American performance artist and interventionist, talks about Blink, his magic lantern show for Prospect.2 New Orleans, 2011.
William Pope.L, a performance artist and interventionist based in Chicago and Lewiston, Maine, is presenting a magic lantern show titled Blink for Prospect.2 New Orleans, the 2011 U.S. Biennial. For his project, the artist made a film from more than a thousand images donated by the people of New Orleans. On the night of October 22, he projected the film through the back of an old ice cream truck as it was pulled through the streets of the city by volunteers. Blink came to rest at Xavier University where it will remain on view through January 2012. This Fresh Talk episode features a conversation with Pope.L, the sounds of Blink in motion and a hint of Don Quixote. | 2019-04-21T12:33:54Z | https://exchange.prx.org/playlists/291570 |
Educating and teaching human beings the forgotten/lost art of basic human survival. Teaching humans from all walks of life how to grow and preserve their own nutritious food. Teaching about water survival, making sure the water you are drinking is safe clean water, the most important element to humans, water!
The forgotten/lost art of basic human survival. How did our grandparents, great grandparents, and ancestors survive without all the modern conveniences available to us today?
Often when people think about a survivalist, they envision someone who is trained in the outdoors and can survive off the land but a survivalist also stockpiles food and possibly weapons to prepare for a disaster and the future unknown. Our ancestors were in reality survivalists.
This was because they were self-sufficient, were responsible for one’s own self and family, protection, health, and sustenance as well as shelter.
This is what our ancestors knew and lived every day. They were prepared for what life brings through planning, learning, and preparing for any possible future.

Taking a peek into the gaming industry can be a tricky thing, with PR people, gaming blog editors, and even forum moderators getting between you and the daily news. One way to go straight to the source? Follow as many gaming professionals as you can on Twitter. Luckily, a new site makes that easy, featuring a long list of both gaming professionals and gaming writers to follow.
Twitter is one of two things, depending on your feelings on social networking. The 140-character messages could be a great way to peek into the lives of those you admire or are interested in, or it's a complete waste of time, populated by narcissists. In truth, it's a little bit of both, but today I know what Neil Gaiman is doing. That's pretty cool.
Following those behind the games you play is interesting as they chat about the day's work, meetings with Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, setbacks and surprise breakthroughs. While much of it can be dry, you can often find a few jewels about the business. Following a bunch of gaming writers can also be fun, as you get the scoop on what they're working on, what games they're discussing between each other, and what they think of unreleased games before the reviews hit the public.
If you're new to Twitter, setting up an account is easy: our favorite clients are Twitterific on the Mac, Tweetie on the iPhone, and Peter Bright is a fan of Tweetdeck for the PC. Then you simply go to someone's Twitter page, click "follow," and you'll be getting their updates. You can find us at @BenKuchera, and @FrankyCaron, by the way. Michael Thompson also twitters via @Vansau, and you can find Andrew Webster by following @A_Webster.
So do you use Twitter? If so, who are some gaming personalities you enjoy following? | 2019-04-18T21:21:45Z | https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/01/twitter-provides-a-peek-into-the-gaming-industry-list-inside/ |

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are transforming our societies, our governments, and other political systems, at a remarkable speed. Government departments are seeing the importance of ensuring services which are delivered electronically. Political parties are increasingly using ICT in their political processes. Despite this fact, we find a Dialogue of the Deaf (as John Harvey-Jones named it) between politicians and the ICT community. Politicians need to understand the internet much better and the ICT community needs to understand politics more if this Dialogue of the Deaf is to be transformed in a mutual comprehensive dialogue and in a synergic relationship. The purpose of PISTA 2018 is to contribute with the bridging efforts done in order to get an approach in the dialogue between both communities.
In order to accomplish the purpose of contributing to get an approach between ICT and Sociopolitical communities, ICT researchers are invited to present their research results. Practitioners and consultants are invited to present case study papers and innovative solutions. Corporations are invited to present political information systems and software based solutions. Public servers are invited to present case studies, information systems developed for specific purpose, and innovative ideas and designs. Political and social scientists are invited to present research or position papers on the impact and the future possibilities of ICT in Social systems and political processes. Politicians and political consultants are invited to present problems that might be solved by means of ICT, or solutions that might be improved by different approaches and design in ICT. All are invited to organize panel or invited sessions. Panel sessions with panelists coming from both: ICT researchers/practitioners and political consultants or politicians are highly encouraged.
The main objective of PISTA 2018 is to provide a forum for the presentation of both: solutions and problems of the applications of ICT in Politics and Society. The following questions need answers from different perspectives: What is the impact of the Information and Communication Technologies in Society? How are information and Communication technologies affecting democracy and making joint and collective decisions? What new networks and models are emerging to pave the way for decisions? How are political parties, governments and campaigning groups making use of IT and especially electronic communications? What electronic tools are there to facilitate democratic discussions and decision-making? What ethical and legal issues should be considered in the social transformation produced by the Information and Communication Technologies?
Is the responsibility for content production being left to the entertainment industry? Is the government under obligation to influence the trend in information society, and if so, what is its role and scope? What do the new trends have to offer different groups or the individual? | 2019-04-24T03:58:16Z | http://www.iiis2018.org/imsci/website/default.asp?vc=4 |

The three-dimensional version of Vector Fields’ specialized electromagnetic modeling algorithm for charged particle beams is playing a key role in the development cycle of Philips Medical Systems’ first commercial X-ray imaging systems with ‘active optics’. Active beam technology supports dynamic focusing and positioning of the electron beam during investigation procedures, greatly improving the resolution and quality of imaging in CT (computer tomography) and cardiovascular scanning equipment.
Vector Fields’ solver for charged particle beams – which runs as part of the Opera toolsuite – has helped Philips Medical Systems to overcome the enormous design challenge of actively focusing an X-ray tube, which is subject to complex space-charge effects. Space charge impacts emission efficiency and distorts beam trajectory, and its effects are exacerbated as emission current increases – which itself is highly desirable in X-ray equipment for both speed of operation and the ability to image denser material.
Vector Fields’ Opera electromagnetic modeling suite is being used by Philips to help design the emitting elements and an ‘electromagnetic lens’ beam focusing system. The software has been particularly useful in understanding focusing at higher beam current levels, as distortion from the space charge effect is non linear and very hard to predict. The software allows users to model performance using a combination of emission effects including the Langmuir-Fry current limits.
This is the second major project where Philips has had the benefit of the 3D version of the particle beam solver. Before receiving this iteration of the software from Vector Fields, engineers typically had to fabricate one or two more physical prototypes than they do today, as the 2D package they had previously used could not simulate all of the characteristics of the final X-ray tube design. Opera also makes it easy to study layout tolerances, helping Philips to investigate lifecycle aftercare issues for the new product.
Philips Medical Systems is a long-standing user of Opera, and the company’s support has played a key role in the development of the charged particle beam solver. This solver uses finite element techniques to analyse the electromagnetic fields coupled with the space charge effects on high current (charged particle) beams. The software supports the import of models created by standard CAD systems for easy and fast modeling.
Space charge is a net electrical charge in a region of space. A negative space charge often occurs near a metal object in a low electrical field when heated to incandescence in a vacuum. The effect was first observed by Thomas Edison in light bulb filaments, where it is sometimes called the Edison Effect. Opera users can calculate the current emitted by thermionic cathodes. Simulation of the electromagnetic effects in particle beam trajectories, space charge distribution and electrostatic field stress, then provides detailed information and visualization of the system, giving the basis for design improvements. | 2019-04-26T13:06:49Z | https://operafea.com/charged-particle-devices/electromagnetic-modeling-package-speeds-design-active-electron-optic-xray-tubes-philips-medical-systems/ |

Phoenix home prices were up 7% in November over November 2017. That’s a great year for appreciation. Inflation-adjusted, that’s 5% real appreciation for metro Phoenix homes.
The weird thing about September and October was that both the number of new listings for sale and the number of homes sold fell compared to a year earlier. If the market was peaking, I would have expected that the number of new listings would have increase and the number of sales would have decrease.
That didn’t happen until November when the months supply of homes for sale increased sharply from 2.8 to 3.3 (although, probably half of that was a normal seasonal increase).
Now, 3.3 months supply is still very tight but if that trend continued for a few more months, we’d be back to 4 months supply which is in the range of normal supply and Phoenix home price increases would slow down to “normal” too, whatever that is.
We don’t have the sales numbers for December yet so we can’t calculate the months supply for December but the inventory of homes for sale in mid-December is up 2% compared to mid-November so it’s almost certain the months supply will increase in December, too.
The big question is what happens in 2019 to Phoenix home prices.
“Do prices continue to increase in 2019?” I think so.
“Will prices be increasing 12 months from now?” That’s where it gets iffy. If we go into a recession by next December, prices would likely stop increasing.
My working theory is that metro Phoenix home prices will go sideways after the next recession starts but prices would fall in some areas and for homes that are harder to sell (for example; small galley kitchen, poor condition, backs to a busy road, etc.).
Usually, home sales have to be down for a couple of years before the metro median sale price starts to fall.
It’s true that Phoenix home prices didn’t fall during the DotCom recession but now real, inflation-adjusted home prices are 40% higher than they were then. So I think home prices are more sensitive to a recession now than they were in 2001.
A lot of people are comparing this small autumn slowdown to 2013. The talking point is that after slowing down from mid-2013 through 2014, Phoenix home prices started to increase strongly again.
My response is that real, inflation-adjusted home prices are 30% higher now than at the end of 2013 so I think Phoenix home prices are more sensitive to a recession or any bad news now.
If real Phoenix home prices were at 2013 (or 2001) levels, I don’t think there would be much downside potential.
What do you see? Love to hear your comment.
First, thanks for these detailed market info posts, very insightful.
It seems the likelihood of a recession is high between now and December of next year. I’m capable of buying my first home now or within the next year, but considering that prices are very likely to fall, would you advise waiting to make a home purchase in the Phoenix area until the market hits a “bottom”?
Do you think it’s wise to try to time the market, especially when the writing is on the wall that a recession is coming up? Even Alan Greenspan recently said a big correction is coming up, and of course we know the stock market had a horrible month, and last recession it was very closely tied to the housing market.
That’s the big question, isn’t it? My oldest son is shopping for a home and I would be fine if he and his wife decide to put it off. They’ve seen a ton of homes and know the market well. The only thing holding them back is price. I warn them that I don’t know the future but if prices fall at all, it probably wouldn’t be for at least a year and probably two and they may not fall much. We may see an early-1990s market where prices are more or less flat for several years. It’s tough to put your life on hold waiting for the market to maybe change. Anyway, I tell him to make sure it’s a 10-year home, a home he could be happy living in for the next 10 years at least. They have a good rental situation which helps a lot. The whole thing of having to buy right now before prices go up even more is fading. I expect prices to increase in 2019, although we may be in a very different market next autumn. In my son’s case, if they have a kid, they’d really want to buy and settle down regardless of where we are in the cycle. But renting a single family home could work as well but doesn’t seem a stable. So I guess I should tell him to buy if he thinks it’s a 10-year house and if he would be okay with it if it didn’t appreciate much or at all over the next 10 years. Tough question, for sure.
Thanks for the reply John, all excellent points. I agree with your assessment, and I fell into some luck recently that I found an incredible rental situation, at a very nice place well below market. So I’m okay with sticking it out and looking at how the market shifts over the next year at minimum. Like you said the market may be looking very different next autumn.
I’ve talked to other realtors here and it seems that prices will be going up in 2019 due to demand from California and other coastal areas where Phoenix continues to look like a bargain. It does make me wonder, because of the huge price difference — if a recession did hit, that maybe the market here wouldn’t drop that much like you said, because although buyer demand from locals might drop, many more people simply wouldn’t be able to afford living on the west coast anymore.
It does depend on your situation. In my case I don’t have children so things are more flexible, and in your son’s case I agree that it’s hard to put your life on hold and that buying/fighting for a good deal is worth the effort to own a place for your family in any market, with the hope of a nice 10 year appreciation.
That’s sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks for the comment! | 2019-04-21T02:53:53Z | https://arizonarealestatenotebook.com/phoenix-home-prices-up-7/?shared=email&msg=fail |

Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats spent two years waiting for Robert Mueller to deliver the death blow to Donald Trump’s Presidency.
Their wait may finally be over.
That’s because Robert Mueller is about to deliver this one document to Speaker Pelosi that will change everything for Donald Trump.
Official Washington is sitting on pins and needles waiting for special counsel Robert Mueller to deliver his final report to Attorney General William Barr.
Barr is then required to present a summary of Mueller’s findings to Congress.
Democrats – led by Nancy Pelosi – spent months expressing optimism that the Mueller report would be the turning point in Donald Trump’s Presidency.
Once Mueller delivered the goods on what he had on the President, Congress could quickly move to impeach Trump and remove him from office.
But that plan hit a bit of a speed bump.
It quickly became clear that Mueller found no evidence of Russian collusion.
His investigation was a bust.
However, Mueller was not put in place to fail.
Instead, experts believe Mueller and his gang of angry Democrat prosecutors will explore a second path to assist Congress in removing the President.
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz is an expert on Constitutional matters.
Dershowitz is also a longtime Democrat who argued the Mueller probe was an abuse of power and that the Democrats were trying to undo the 2016 election by criminalizing their policy differences with President Trump.
During an interview on ABC’s “This Week” Dershowitz described how Mueller could still keep Democrats on Trump’s trail without filing a report showing any evidence of collusion with the Russians.
“This may be just the beginning. The Mueller report may be just a road map given to Congress and given to other prosecutors that will continue these investigations until the end of President Trump,” Dershowitz concluded.
Some Trump supporters fear this is exactly what Mueller will do.
Democrats like radical leftist Ted Lieu stated that if Mueller doesn’t bring any collusion charges then House Democrats will just move on to other investigations.
Either Lieu had a heads up from Mueller’s team or he just makes very lucky guesses.
Because that is the exact scenario Dershowitz laid out with Mueller providing a “road map” for Congressional Democrats to ratchet up their campaign of terrorizing the President with subpoenas and inquiries.
Just because Robert Mueller failed in his quest to prove Russian collusion does not mean the special counsel or the Democrats are throwing in the towel.
To the contrary, they believe this is only the early innings of a nine inning game. | 2019-04-26T00:18:06Z | https://blackeyepolitics.com/mueller-document-pelosi-change-trump/ |

and bubbles rush to the surface stinking of decay.
A swarm of murmuring midges up ahead; we duck.
with our large drifting craft.
which bow low even under their tiny weight.
Then six more appear from nowhere. Then twenty.
one flock flies east, one west, they switch.
Can there be any plan?
As quickly as it began, it’s over.
and you’d never know it happened.
left in the darkening clouds.
from the Thomas the Train book I read aloud.
It’s not like your skin, is it? I ask him.
rippled as a shoreline when the tide went out.
How she considered the time left to her.
taking up the journey forward was mostly all she needed.
To someday let it go.
to his world of automotive parts in grimy bins.
Daddy when's my birthday? he'd shrug and be off by a week.
who leaves slush on the wooden floor. Go play, he says.

and he tells us, not looking up, bring me back one too.

hands us each a slice of rye bread yellowed with mustard. For free.
new purchase orders and who knows what else in his head.
He notices the ebony smoke in a cold cyan sky.
Dress stores and delis would burn white.
we'd run as far as the Kissing Trees.
wrapped around each other, inextricable.
you'd wonder how it happened.
or was it some divine plan?
as if slow waltzing at a grandchild's wedding.
as the Kissing Trees and I stopped.
had pried the two apart.
were removed, piece by piece.
I was married at twenty.
and at night I swallowed my pill.
served date cake on Limoges.
and I practised signing Mrs. on my cheques.
At forty-nine I was separated.
I wore my son's outgrown jeans.
and sometimes even grew it on the windowsill.
My grocery lists were scribbled with poetry.
with children grown and parents dead.
and must I take a final stand on God?
I listen more to Leonard Cohen.

Surprises me what might still be washed ashore.
Or dropped from a tree.
Or said by you or me.

utilitarian, noisy, dented and scratched in odd spots.
His best gear was first. Second jerked at times.
And he was difficult to shift into reverse.
or maybe it was the tuning dial bust.
where time is measured in breaths.
he died like a candle.
your scent faint, like sachet.
blooms of fuchsia, turquoise, lime.
as you prepared yourself, magnificent, in powder blue.
what it was to be woman.

paired in food sections of the Sunday magazine.
I thought it tasted strange.
with another's soul and another's memory.
Can we ever expect to blend quiescently.
with the juice of forward thrust.

your white hair aglow, backlit by the last of the blue.

Geographically and climatically, Bulgaria is noted for its diversity, with the landscape ranging from the Alpine snow-capped peaks in Rila, Pirin and the Balkan Mountains to the mild and sunny weather of the Black Sea coast, from the typically continental Danubian Plain (ancient Moesia) in the north to the strong Mediterranean influence in the valleys of Macedonia and the lowlands in the southernmost parts of Thrace. Bulgaria comprises portions of the classical regions of Thrace, Moesia, and Macedonia. The southwest of the country is mountainous with two alpine ranges - Rila and Pirin, and further east are the lower but more extensive Rhodope Mountains. Rila mountain includes the highest peak of the Balkan Peninsula, peak Musala at 2,925 meters (9,596 ft); the long range of the Balkan mountains runs west-east through the middle of the country, north of the famous Rose Valley. Hilly country and plains are found in the southeast, along the Black Sea coast in the east, and along Bulgaria's main river, the Danube in the north. Other major rivers include the Struma and the Maritsa river in the south. There are around 260 glacial lakes situated in Rila and Pirin, several large lakes on the Black Sea coast and more than 2,200 dam lakes. Mineral springs are in great abundance located mainly in the south-western and central parts of the country along the faults between the mountains.
The Balkan mountain range (Bulgarian and Serbian: ����� �������, Stara planina, "Old Mountain") is an extension of the Carpathian mountain range, separated from it by the Danube River.
The Balkan range runs 560 km from eastern Serbia eastward through central Bulgaria to Cape Emine on the Black Sea.
The highest peak on the Balkan peninsula is Musala in the Rila mountains near Sofia (Rila range) with 2,925 m, closely followed by Mount Olympus in Greece and Vihren (Pirin range).
The highest peaks of the Stara planina itself are in central Bulgaria. The highest peak is Botev (2,376 m), located in the Central Balkan National Park (established 1991).
Close to it is Kalofer, the birth place of Hristo Botev, a Bulgarian poet and national hero who died in the Western Stara Planina near Vratsa in 1876 in the struggle against the Ottoman Empire. Also close to Botev peak is the Shipka Pass, the scene of the four battles in Russo-Turkish War, 1877-78 which ended Turkish rule in the Balkans. Close to the pass in the village of Shipka there is a Russian Orthodox church, built to commemorate Bulgarian bravery during pass defence.
Stara Planina is remarkable for its flora and fauna. Edelweiss grows there in the region of Koziata stena.
Sofia is one of the oldest capital cities in Europe, blending its past and present in a remarkable architectural style. Historic landmarks include the 10th century Boyana Church (one of the UNESCO World Heritage protected sites), the Alexander Nevski Cathedral (one of the world's largest Orthodox churches), and the early Byzantine Church of St Sophia.
More modern architecture is represented by the Bulgarian National Opera and Ballet, the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, the Rakovski Str theatre district, Slaveykov Square's outdoor book market, and the NDK, which is Southeastern Europe's largest cultural and congressional centre.
Sofia is the see of an Eastern Orthodox and of a Roman Catholic diocese.
Sofia has also a huge nightlife scene with many different night clubs, live venues, pubs, mehani (Bulgarian traditional taverns), and restaurants.
The city also offers many places of special interest such as the Sts. Cyril and Methodius National Library (which houses the largest national book collection and is Bulgaria's oldest cultural institute), the Sofia State Library, the British Council, the Russian Cultural Institute, the Polish Cultural Institute, the Hungarian Institute, the Czech and the Slovak Cultural Institutes, the Italian Cultural Institute, the French Cultural Institute, Goethe Institut, Instituto Cervantes, and the Open Society Institute. Families with children can enjoy Sofia Land, the nearly nine-acre amusement park adjacent to the Sofia Zoological Garden (founded in 1888) as well as the Museum of Natural History.
Sofia currently enjoys a booming film industry as the filming ground of several international film productions. Vitosha Boulevard, also called Vitoshka � ranked as the world's 22nd most expensive commercial street � represents numerous fashion boutiques and luxury goods stores and features exhibitions by world fashion designers. Sofia's geographic location, situated in the foothills of the weekend retreat Vitosha mountain, further adds to the city's specific atmosphere.
Plovdiv is located on the banks of the Maritsa river in the central part of Upper Thrace. The surrounding countryside is sparsely populated and bare, yet the city itself is particularly striking, since it, like Rome, is nestled in between seven hills. Tourists, however, are likely to count only six of those, as one of hills was virtually destroyed at the beginning of the 1900s, and there is only a small outcrop of rock left to show where it once stood.
During its long history, Plovdiv was inhabited by many peoples who gave it different names: in Thracian: Eumolpias, Pulpudeva; Greek: Φιλιππούπολη, Φιλιππούπολις / Philippoupoli, Philippoupolis; Turkish: Filibe. In the Middle Ages the Bulgarians called the city ������ or �������. The city was usually known as Philippopolis in English until the early 20th century.
Plovdiv is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is a contemporary of Troy and Mycenae, and older than Rome, Athens, Carthage or Constantinople. Archaeologists have discovered fine pottery and other objects of everyday life from as early as the Neolithic Age, showing that in the end of the 7th millennium B.C there already was an established settlement there. According to Ammianus Marcellinus, Plovdiv's written post-Bronze Age history lists it as a Thracian fortified settlement named Eumolpias. In 342 BC, it was conquered by Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, who renamed it "Φιλιππόπολις", Philippopolis or "the city of Philip" in his own honour. Later, it again became independent under the Thracians, until its incorporation into the Roman Empire, where it was called Trimontium (City of Three Hills) and served as metropolis (capital) of the province of Thrace. Thrimontium was an important crossroad for the Roman Empire and was called "The largest and most beautiful of all cities" by Lucian. In those times, the Via Militaris (or Via Diagonalis), the most important military road in the Balkans, passed through the city. The Roman times were a glorious period of growth and cultural excellence. The ancient ruins tell a story of a vibrant, growing city with numerous public buildings, shrines, baths, and theatres. Many of those are still preserved and can be seen by the curious tourist wishing to experience the charm of ancient Rome up close.
Varna (Bulgarian: �����) is the largest city on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, third-largest in Bulgaria after Sofia and Plovdiv, and 91st-largest in the European Union, with a population of 357,752 ().
Varna is among Europe's oldest cities. Miletians founded the apoikia (trading colony) of Odessos in 570 BC (in the time of Astyages) at the site of an earlier Thracian settlement. The name Odessos, first mentioned by Strabo, was pre-Greek, perhaps of Carian origin. Long before the Thracians populated the area by 1200 BC, several prehistoric settlements best known for the eneolithic necropolis, eponymous site of the Varna culture and the alleged world's oldest gold treasure (5th millennium BC radiocarbon dating), existed within modern city limits. For centuries, Odessos was a contact zone between the urban Ionians and the Thracians (Getae, Crobyzi, Terizi) of the hinterland. In the 4th century BC, it was a mixed Greco-Thracian community (see also Darzalas).
In 339 BC, the city was unsuccessfully besieged by Philip II but surrendered to Alexander the Great in 335 BC, and was later ruled by his diadochus Lysimachus. The Roman city, Odessus (annexed in 15 AD to the province of Moesia, later Moesia Inferior), occupied 47 hectares in present-day central Varna and had prominent public baths, Thermae, erected in the late 2nd century, now the largest Roman remains in Bulgaria (the building was 100 m wide, 70 m long, and 20 m high) and fourth largest known Roman baths in Europe. Odessus was a Christian centre, as testified by the ruins of early basilicas, monasteries, and indications that apostle Ampliatus (������, Amply), disciple of Saint Andrew, served as bishop there. In 442, a peace treaty between Theodosius II and Attila was done at Odessus.
Theophanes the Confessor first mentioned the name Varna, as the city came to be known with the Slavic conquest of the Balkans in the 6th-7th century. In 681, Asparukh, the founder of the First Bulgarian Empire, routed an army of Constantine IV north of the Danube delta and reached the so-called Varna near Odessos. Recent scholarship has suggested that the first Bulgarian capital was perhaps located around Varna before it moved to Pliska. Asparukh fortified the Varna river lowland by a rampart against a possible Byzantine naval landing; several 7th-century Bulgar settlements have been excavated.
Varna is an important and growing economic centre for Bulgaria and the Black Sea region.
The economy is service-based, with 61% of net revenue generated in trade and tourism, 16% in manufacturing, 14% in transportation and communications, and 6% in construction. The city is the easternmost destination of Pan-European transport corridor 8 and is closely connected to corridors 7 and 9 via Rousse. Major industries traditionally include transportation (Navigation Maritime Bulgare�Navibulgar), Port of Varna, Varna International Airport), distribution (Logistics Park Varna ), and shipbuilding (which is declining, even though new private ship repair yards have been built), and other marine industries.
With the nearby towns of Beloslav and Devnya, Varna forms the Varna-Devnya Industrial Complex, home to some of the largest chemical, power generating and manufacturing plants in Bulgaria, including the sites of the two largest cash privatization deals in recent history.
In June of 2007, Eni and Gazprom disclosed the South Stream project whereby a 900-km-long offshore natural gas pipeline from Russia's Dzhubga with annual capacity of 30 billion cubic meters is planned to come ashore at Varna, possibly near the Galata offshore gas field, en route to Italy and Austria.
Tourism is of foremost importance, with the suburban beachfront resorts of Golden Sands, Holiday Club Riviera, Sunny Day, Constantine and Helena, and others with a total capacity of over 60,000 beds (2006), attracting millions of visitors each year (4.74 million in 2006, 3.99 million of which international tourists ). The resorts received considerable internal and foreign investment in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and are environmentally sound, being located reassuringly far from chemical and other smokestack industries. Varna is also Bulgaria's only international cruise destination (with 26 cruises scheduled for 2007) and a major international convention and spa centre.
Real estate is booming, with some of the highest prices in the nation, often surpassing Sofia. Commercial real estate is developing international office tower projects such as Business Park Varna . In retail, the city not only has the assortment of international big-box retailers and new shopping malls now ubiquitous in larger Bulgarian cities, but boasts made-in-Varna national chains with locations spreading over the country such as retailer Piccadilly, restaurateur Happy, and pharmacy chain Sanita.
Economically, Varna is considered among the best-performing Bulgarian cities; unemployment, at 2.34%, is 4 times lower, and per capita income is higher than the national average (2007). Many Bulgarians regard Varna as a boom town; some, including from Sofia and Plovdiv, but mostly from Dobrich and the greater region, are relocating.
In September 2004, FDI Magazine (a Financial Times Business Ltd publication) proclaimed Varna South-eastern Europe City of the Future citing its strategic location, fast-growing economy, rich cultural heritage and higher education. In April 2007, rating agency Standard & Poor's announced that it had raised its long-term issue credit rating for Varna to BB+ from BB, declaring the city's outlook "stable" and praising its "improved operating performance". | 2019-04-21T16:39:59Z | http://www.hostels247.com/BULGARIA/ |
seriously. how freakin sweet are alexis and adam?! on a drizzly summer afternoon, we found the most perfect nooks around their property to snuggle in and captured some of their last images as a family of 2. i know this baby has been long wished for and i'm so so excited for these first time parents.
i've been photographing this lady for as long as i can remember. from following her and my sisters around with a plastic point and shoot in grade school to wasting rolls and rolls of black and white film on this raven haired babe in high school. i used her as a sort of "muse" for my photo projects in college, then had the pleasure photographing her wedding 2 years ago.
she's completely flawless, as displayed in this first photo...which i shot just to test my light. yes. she IS annoyingly beautiful. plus she's got the heart to match. she's going to be a wonderful, loving, fun mother! | 2019-04-19T20:35:26Z | http://www.tiffanyaufmann.com/blog?category=maternity |

For the official project web site click here.
The diversity and abundance of mesocarnivores (marten, fishers, foxes, coyotes, lynx, etc.) is an indicator of the health of an ecosystem. The Friends of Elk Island Society (FEIS) is helping run a project examining mesocarnivore use of landscapes with different degrees of human impact in the Cooking Lake moraine, east of Edmonton. This project uses wildlife cameras and hair traps to capture images of wildlife and hair samples for analysis. Hair analysis will confirm species identification, and will also be used to determine gender, individual and relatedness for fishers, a focal species of the project. The Friends of Elk Island Society has provided two of the trail cameras using TD Friends of the Environment funding, and members of the Friends are maintaining a total of eight camera sites within Elk Island National Park.
At the time of writing six members of the FEIS board have received project specific training from the research team leaders and we are just beginning our second summer of monthly monitoring visits. More than a dozen society members have visited the sites as volunteers, helping us to maintain the cameras and collect samples.
Results are promising. All of the cameras have recorded fishers as well as other mammals, both small and large, including bear and lynx. The presence of fishers is significant as these mammals were reintroduced into the area relatively recently and are one of the few predators adapted to prey on porcupine. The bear images are also interesting as they seem to indicate that at least one animal is overwintering in the Park.
If you are interested in becoming involved in this project please look for details on our Meetup group on meetup.com.
Baiting the tree and fixing the hair trap. Setting the camera.
This image, captured by one of our cameras shows a fisher climbing a tree to get the bait. The image clearly illustrates the size of the animal relative to the height of the bait (about seven feet) and the diameter of the tree (about eight inches). | 2019-04-19T10:43:50Z | http://www.elkisland.ca/conservation-research/mesocarnivore-monitoring |
A retired head teacher from Dolgellau celebrated her graduation success at Bangor University recently. After spending a lifetime in education where her mother, father, sister and husband were teachers, Gabrielle Wilkinson has spent the last 8 years on the Lifelong Learning Fine Art programme, culminating in a BA (hons) Fine Art.
Gabrielle worked as a primary school head teacher before becoming a primary inspector for Bedfordshire Council until she took early retirement at 60. During the next 5 years she freelanced as an Educational Consultant and also worked for OFSTED as an Inspector.
At 65 Gabrielle and her husband moved to Wales, where she saw an advert for Lifelong Learning’s Fine Art Challenge. This modular course was aimed at people who have some experience but little or no formal art qualification, or as refresher course for who have not practised art for some time. Gabrielle always wanted to ‘do’ art but was encouraged to follow an academic route.
Now Gabrielle has developed an appetite for learning, she intends to carry on with her painting and enjoying the endless challenges that life throws at her.
To find out more about short courses or part-time degrees, please contact Lifelong Learning on 01248 383668 or visit the website www.bangor.ac.uk/ll. | 2019-04-19T18:12:55Z | https://www.bangor.ac.uk/studentlife/studentnews/gabrielle-rekindles-her-appetite-for-learning-5171 |

Nominations for the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were revealed Wednesday and as expected, the leading ladies of “Big Little Lies” earned nods, as did the stars of the year’s biggest streaming hits, Claire Foy of “The Crown” and Elisabeth Moss of “The Handmaid’s Tale.” The SAG Awards, like the Golden Globes and the Critic’s Choice Awards, are often predictors for the Oscars. That means that newcomers Saorirse Ronan and Margot Robbie have good chances of also being recognized by the Motion Picture Academy for their turns in “Lady Bird” and “I, Tonya Shane Ray Limited Jersey ,” respectively. The awards ceremony will be simulcast live on Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. on TNT and TBS. | 2019-04-20T02:30:52Z | http://healingintuition.co/forum/is-us-outstanding-performance-by-an-ensemble-in-a-co |

There was a good turnout on Sunday for a new route to the North of Harrogate. The mood was also bouyant as the sun was shining as we set of towards Brimham Rocks. Our route out of Harrogate took us towards Penny Pot before turning right down into Hampsthwaite and then climbing up to Burn Yates. At Burnt Yates we then went left and started the long pull up to Brimham Rocks. By the time we got to Brimham there was a bit of rain in the air, but the views were still good.
We carried on past Brimham before turning down towards Warsill for what was an excellent long descent all the way down into Markington. The only problem now was that the rain had set in. From Markington we headed for Bishop Monkton, Roecliffe and Boroughbridge. As it was still raining in Boroughbridge and our usual watering holes were both full of cyclists getting out of the rain, we decided to head back to Harrogate and have our coffee at Cafe Rosso.
Dispite the weather, it was a good ride on a new route and one we will be repeating when the weather is better.

PITTSBURGH, April 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousands of tiny, wide-eyed faces will light up this year as a result of the $5 million alliance between the PNC Foundation and DonorsChoose.org, which is entering its second year of providing new resources to Head Start and public pre-K classrooms across the PNC footprint. The effort provides much-needed educational supplies and experiences to help prepare young children for success in school and life.
"PNC recognizes that providing high-quality early education for all children helps prepare the workforce and community leaders of tomorrow. And yet, too many teachers struggle to access classroom resources to help them provide high quality educational experiences for their students," said PNC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer William S. Demchak. "This year we'll build on the relationship we established with DonorsChoose.org last year by honoring successful teachers and continuing to support local efforts that give pre-K teachers engaging materials to enrich young minds."
The PNC Foundation will start the 2018 funding cycle with four initiatives.
Match Funding: From now through May 31, 2018 PNC will match, dollar-for-dollar, donations that support public pre-K and Head Start teachers' project requests in the PNC service area listed on DonorsChoose.org, subject to restrictions and a maximum dollar amount. The duration of the match campaign depends on the number of project requests and donations. For specific guidelines on the match offer, visit DonorsChoose.org.
Teacher Gift Cards: Today, every teacher who submitted a pre-K project request in the PNC footprint on DonorsChoose.org since April 4, 2017 received a $100 electronic gift card, distributed through DonorsChoose.org. More than 3,700 public pre-K and Head Start teachers received the funds to support new projects on DonorsChoose.org.
Spotlight: One outstanding early education teacher in each of PNC's markets will be honored as a Teacher Hero for their efforts and involvement in the PNC/DonorsChoose.org alliance. Each Teacher Hero will receive a $2,000 gift card to fund a project in her or his classroom and a second $2,000 gift card to help seed other pre-K projects listed on DonorsChoose.org.
PNC Volunteer Gift Cards: All PNC employees who volunteered for Grow Up Great in 2017 (approximately 17,000) will receive a $50 electronic gift card to support pre-K project requests on DonorsChoose.org.
"Though teachers often spend their own money on classroom supplies, they still need many more resources to provide a well-rounded, high-quality learning experience," said Yasmina S. Vinci, executive director, National Head Start Association. "NHSA is grateful to our partners at PNC and DonorsChoose.org for supporting Head Start's efforts to provide a window of opportunity for America's most vulnerable children and families."
With the additional resources obtained through the successful alliance, Chicago pre-K teacher Denise Lopez-Gill has assisted children with a variety of academic, emotional and social needs.
"Because of these efforts, we can introduce our children to more activities and opportunities to learn more skills," Lopez-Gill said. "The supplies that I have received have transformed our classroom environment."
The alliance builds on its 2017 momentum, in which PNC contributed $2.2 million to support pre-K projects listed on DonorsChoose.org. The campaign enabled 244,000 children across the 21 states and District of Columbia where PNC operates to receive new classroom materials and educational opportunities. More than 7,500 pre-K classroom projects benefited from the PNC grant, which was made in support of PNC Grow Up Great®, an early childhood education initiative.
Not only is providing high-quality pre-K education the right thing to do, it makes good economic sense. Studies have shown that high-quality preschool education better prepares children to achieve in school and strive for higher vocational aspirations, and that it has a positive impact on society. For every dollar spent on high-quality early education for at-risk children, society gains as much as $13 in long-term savings.
"PNC and DonorsChoose.org understand how hard preschool and Head Start teachers work to bring learning to life every day," said Charles Best, DonorsChoose.org founder and CEO. "We're so excited to work with PNC again to support even more public school pre-K and Head Start teachers and students, and enhance their classroom experiences.
The PNC Foundation's alliance with DonorsChoose.org makes it easy for the public to support preschool classrooms. Donors who give to qualifying projects will have their gifts matched by PNC and see exactly how their dollars are being put to use by teachers and students.
Teachers and donors should visit www.PNCGrowUpGreat.com/donorschoose for more information.
Founded in 2000 by a Bronx history teacher, DonorsChoose.org has raised more than $645 million for America's classrooms. Teachers come to DonorsChoose.org to request the materials and experiences they need most for their classrooms, and donors give to the projects that inspire them. More than 3 million people and partners have funded over 1 million projects on the site, reaching 27 million students and making DonorsChoose.org the leading platform for supporting U.S. public schools.
DonorsChoose.org is the only crowd funding platform that vets each request, delivers materials directly to schools, and captures the impact of every funded project with photos, thank yous, and a cost report showing how each dollar was spent. In 2014, DonorsChoose.org made the top 10 of Fast Company's list of the World's Most Innovative Companies, the first time a charity has received such recognition.
The PNC Foundation, which receives its principal funding from The PNC Financial Services Group (www.pnc.com), actively supports organizations that provide services for the benefit of communities in which it has a significant presence. The foundation focuses its philanthropic mission on early childhood education and community and economic development, which includes the arts and culture. Through PNC Grow Up Great®, its signature cause that began in 2004, PNC has created a bilingual $350 million, multi-year initiative to help prepare children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life.

It’s been getting really summery in these parts the last few days. I haven’t had to wear pants in a while — it’s glorious.
Yesterday morning I had a rare burst of energy and really felt like I should go on a morning lake walk, except it would mean interrupting Alex’s nap schedule. But Alan encouraged me to do it anyway. And I’m glad I did. It was a summery kinda morning I felt was indicative of what the rest of summer could be like. A morning walk – not yet too hot, and it wasn’t rushed. We saw boats and goslings (!) and I took a detour to check out the playground and get in the swing. I’ve almost never made it around Lake Harriet without him having a meltdown (when it’s just me; when I’m walking and talking with another person, he’s calm). Before, in the winter, there wasn’t much I could do with that. But this time I found a little bench to set up camp and I changed him on the ground and nursed him from the bench. And he finally conked out. I have a feeling I’ll have a newfound appreciation for summer now that I have a kid. I’m excited to just take my time and go with the flow and watch Alex have fun. He’s at just the right age for all this stuff too. I thought having a tiny baby through the cold dark winter was kinda brutal but this is a nice payoff. | 2019-04-23T16:59:48Z | https://carolineroyce.wordpress.com/category/alex/ |

For Muse this week I used the 'new to me' Concord & 9th Lace Leaf and Happy Words stamp sets. I used my MISTI to assist me for all parts of my card. It is invaluable for lining up and getting crisp impressions especially when using watercolour paper.
I started off by inking up the watercolour shadow leaf with Distress Ink and then I misted it with water before stamping it on to a piece of Tim Holtz watercolour paper. Once it dried completely I inked up the lace leaf using Versamark ink and stamped it over the watercolour shadow slightly offset. Then I embossed the image with gold embossing powder. NOTE: Doing two techniques like this on a one layer card can be kind of scary. So I was sure to prep the panel with my embossing buddy well so that I didn't get any stray embossing powder where I didn't want it.
I trimmed the panel down so that I could add a 1/4" strip of gold sparkle paper down the right hand side. Once trimmed I stamped my sentiment using Rich Cocoa Memento Ink. The sentiment was created using both stamp sets.
Tracey this is among those Concord & 9th sets on my wish list! OH how exquisite your card is!
Absolutely stunning--love this design, Tracey!
Gorgeous card Tracey, it definitely inspires me to play along.
This is really beautiful! I love the simple layering--so gorgeous!
That splash of warm color with the gold is fabulous! Pretty card Tracey!
Gorgeous, Tracey! Such a beautiful design. I agree, I'm always extra-careful after using distress ink, or when I'm embossing on watercolour paper... so you had to be extra-vigilant!
The leaf is gorgeous and the strip of gold glitter paper on the side sets it off perfectly, love this design, Tracey!!
Absolutely stunning, and so inspiring. I hope to play along with you this week.
This is so gorgeous! Hoping to fin time to play along!
So gorgeous, and truly awesome!
Simply stunning card Tracey...so in love with your gorgeous leaf!
Just gorgeous. I hope I can find some time to play along.
Tracey....you probably haven't left your studio in days! I am so impressed at the creative juices....just wow! | 2019-04-20T22:34:49Z | http://inmycreativeopinion.blogspot.com/2016/11/muse-192.html |

In response to the Stanford Heart for Sleep Sciences and Medication, practically 1 in 10 adults in the USA suffers from insomnia. Though most of those individuals undergo from brief-time period insomnia, a lot of them additionally undergo from power insomnia (i.e., problem falling or staying asleep for greater than six months). Such sleep deprivation can considerably lower the standard of 1’s life.
Whereas stress associated to work and household stays the primary explanation for insomnia, consuming the fallacious meals — equivalent to these wealthy in sugar, caffeine, gluten or polyunsaturated fats — may contribute to insomnia. Subsequently, enhancing one’s weight loss program is a vital first step towards ending insomnia, particularly if one favors meals which can be recognized to enhance sleep.
Cherries and cherry merchandise have typically been linked to improved sleep. For instance, a examine revealed within the European Journal of Diet in December 2012 discovered that volunteers who consumed a tart cherry juice focus for seven days demonstrated “considerably elevated” whole melatonin content material of their urine in comparison with the management group. Consequently, the research group skilled improved sleep high quality and effectivity.
Many individuals are sometimes stunned to seek out that bananas can assist sleep, since they’re properly-identified for enhancing vitality. Nonetheless, bananas are additionally wealthy in magnesium, potassium and tryptophan, that are the “magic trio” of sleep boosters. Tryptophan is very efficient on this regard since it’s the precursor to the 2 neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin, which modulate sleep.
Though oatmeal is normally related to breakfast, its dietary composition — excessive in magnesium and potassium — additionally makes it an appropriate night meals. Even the very nature of oatmeal (heat, soothing and comfortable) is indicative of sleep and calm. Furthermore, oatmeal tends to be combined with milk, which is without doubt one of the greatest-identified leisure drinks.

I'm linking up with Stacy. Come join the fun!
I'm so mad at Bath and Body Works! No, not mad enough to quit buying their products, of course. They used to have aromatherapy "sleep" fragrances: lavender & chamomile and lavender & vanilla. They still make a lavender vanilla fragrance, but it's different. They don't carry the lavender chamomile fragrance anymore. They changed their "sleep" fragrance to lavender and cedarwood. It's nice, but it's not the same! They also have a "comfort" fragrance that is nice: vanilla and patchouli. It's kind of like candy and pepper. I like it!
Speaking of cedarwood... When I was growing up, I was always told that my sister was allergic to cedar so I would inherit my mom's cedar chest. I loved that cedar chest. I had it in my home for a while waaayyyyy back when I was in my 20's, but I have no idea what happened to it. It sorta bums me out.
And speaking of allergies... I've been writing a personal narrative at work, teaching my students how to write, so I've been writing about the time I stepped on a nail when I was 6 or 7. That is when they found out I was allergic to tetanus. Yep! I got out of taking the DPT booster vaccine all my life because of it. I don't know if that's good or bad. It just IS. You might be surprised how difficult it is to document this kind of allergy for school officials. I was always very careful about playing outside barefooted after that.
I saw this on Facebook, and it made me sad. I, too, have a Master's Degree, many, many years experience, and have had to work two jobs to make ends meet. It shouldn't be this way. I'd be making two or three times my current salary if I were a professional in another industry. | 2019-04-24T04:34:09Z | http://www.forgetfulone.com/2018/09/random-tuesday_17.html |
That time is upon me once again. The time of year that I love, and the time of year that makes me exhausted! December fills up for me very quickly every year, what with visiting friends I haven't seen all year, Christmas parties, Christmas shopping, Christmas drinking....you know the drill. Last year I took the year off for a breather, but this year, I was booked up in November. The year before, August! It's always an awesome feeling to know that I get to experience the holiday love with friends and family, so I have no complaints.
Tis the season to be pervy in front of the 'fire' (space heater).
The first snowfall in Toronto happened on a Saturday. Dave and I were already in for the night, in our pjs (haha!) when it started snowing in earnest. I couldn't waste the opportunity to experience the first snow of the season! So, clothes were thrown on over our pajamas, beer was shoved in our pockets, and off we went on a magical walk. It was lovely.
Our little tiny tree was up in the middle of November. Yeah, I get kind of excited.
This past weekend, my first of the Christmas crazy, I made the super long trek (6 hours of travelling!) up to Desboro to see my best friend Jess, and of course, my nephew Jackson. This kid is the best. So happy and full of crazy beans. I am so in love with him.
We had an awesome afternoon in Owen Sound, sipping cider at a cute coffee shop, and enjoying the Christmas cheer everywhere we went. Look at how cute Jackson is with his beautiful mama!
Owen Sound puts on a Festival of Northern Lights every year, and I couldn't miss that. So, we waited until dark, bundled up and off we went.
It's kitschy, but oh so very awesome. The church across the street was playing Christmas carols, and it was like a Christmas wonderland. I loved every second of it.
Thank you Jessi, for the best weekend! It was full of love and Christmas joy.
This upcoming weekend I am off to Barrie to visit my other best friend, and to partake in a Christmas surprise! I can't wait!
In the meantime, Pinterest is always awesome for Christmas ideas and happiness. These are a few of my favourites! Enjoy! | 2019-04-22T22:57:34Z | http://www.pandorahsbox.ca/2013/12/the-christmas-crazy-has-begun.html |
I got stuck down a rabbit hole checking out these two books, the author of Mini Technology is a wizard of appropriate tech and these two books tell how to make all manner of things useful to someone trying to be more self sufficient.
In his foreword he said that while people can make jets and such that does not negate the need for knowing how to make a wheelbarrow. This world will always need old tech.
That sentiment is exactly the same as my way of thinking.
Nice! These will keep me busy for a while. | 2019-04-21T08:26:37Z | https://www.tngun.com/mini-technology/ |
Last week I told you that I was going to share my project with you, and I’m so happy to share my #diyHarvestYardSign via this virtual party with you! We had directions to follow with the items purchased at Home Depot, but creative license to change up the sign however we wanted. Be sure to visit my friends to see their signs. The links are at the bottom of this post.
This is the inspiration piece that you can learn how to make at your local Home Depot in their #DIHworkshop THIS Thursday! I asked my Home Depot how they do their DIH workshops and was told that the lady who runs the workshops generally shows the participants how to make the projects as well as sharing tips for the tools involved. She typically will let participants make the project if they choose to. The policy at your Home Depot may vary. You can find out more details and sign up for the workshop here. The associates at Home Depot that run the workshops will gladly help you choose the materials you will need to make this project at home.
Here are the high points of how my project came together, for more details on how to make your own, visit Home Depot.
The Tombstone Candy Holder is made from a small sheet of 1/2” plywood. Did you know that you can buy smaller sheet goods? Such as this 2×2 sheet, as well as 2’ by 4’ sheets of plywood and even pre-primed (painted) chalkboard pieces. I picked up this plywood on a recent trip while I was buying LOTS of stuff for DIY projects.
The grain on this piece spoke to me. I made sure I cut my pieces so the grain runs from top to bottom. The plans call to cut out one large piece and two smaller strips that will make up the box.
I’m not real keen on RIP signs for Halloween. So I decided to make my piece of plywood into a pumpkin instead! To give it more of a pumpkin shape on the bottom, I cut off the corners with my miter saw.
To make the pumpkin shape for the top, I drew a angled pattern, included a stem, and used my jigsaw to cut on the lines.
Sanding is what makes your project stand out. I like to round over my edges slightly to remove the sharpness—this is easily accomplished with a sander.
After cutting the small end pieces for the candy box and sanded all my pieces, it was time for a dry fit.
Yep! Everything is coming together perfectly, and I love how the grain will help mimic my pumpkin as I paint it.
I chose rustic looking colors because I didn’t want my pumpkin candy holder to look store bought. I wanted it to have a more aged feel—as though it’s been around for years.
Doing a dry brush technique while painting the pumpkin was easy using a disposable paint tray as a paint palette. The nubby bumps worked well to dial back the color on the paint brush bristles.
I prefer to roll on chalkboard paint for a really nice finish on wood.
I love how the color turned out, it was exactly as I had imagined it would be. The grain worked well, can you imagine if I had cut it the other way with the grain going sideways, working against me?
The small box was attached using a nail gun, and chalkboard paint was put on the front. But instead of using chalk for little candy box on the front of the harvest sign I cut out the words Happy Halloween from orange vinyl. I also cut out black and yellow features to sort of give my Jack-o-Lantern a lit up look.
I think the funny jack-o-lantern face is great if you have kids around.
Without the Jack-o-Lantern face and the Halloween vinyl, this harvest yard sign would be the perfect home décor all the way through Thanksgiving!
There are three types of Workshops offered – Do-It-Yourself (DIY), Do-It-Herself (DIH) and Kids.
Customers can learn how to build décor projects, how to make easy home repairs and how to operatetools through demonstrations and step-by-step instructions.
If you’re new to using power tools, or just want to make sure you’re using them correctly, I would appreciate you clicking this link to get details for this weeks DIH Workshop at your local Home Depot before you hop over to visit my friends.
What kind of sign will you make?
If you have previously attended any workshop at The Home Depot and would like to provide feedback, please feel free to use this form. Your experience and response helps The Home Depot make the improvements you want to see.
this looks really cute. i actually like the pumpkin without the jack-o-lantern face!
Good to know Nova! I may be taking it to Glendale…. Hope to see you there! | 2019-04-19T09:01:34Z | https://www.myrepurposedlife.com/pumpkin-candy-holder/ |

The following are the key elements of a Professional Development Program.
Ongoing employee training and development are essential to creating and maintaining a high performance workforce. There should be specific components of the program that are in place to ensure high performance levels are met. Those components include determining competencies, skill assessment, employee contribution and ownership, written action plan, measurable outcomes aligned with organization goals, strategy implementation follow-up, and supervisor/manager involvement.
The first step in creating an employee development program is to determine which competencies are the ones that the company needs the employee to possess. The list of competencies may include; collaboration, organization, time management, customer focused, analytical thinking, innovation, flexibility, goal setting, problem solving, and/or decision making. Competencies may vary depending on job description.
A skill assessment or competency assessment is an integral part of any development process. Before anyone can determine what they should improve, they first must assess their current skill levels as they relate to job functions. By first assessing the skill level of the required job skills, the employee and supervisor/manager will know where deficiencies may lie and what opportunities exist for improvement.
Therefore, to help ensure success of the program, the employee, rather than the supervisor/manager, should be the one to develop the plan. The benefit of this is that the employee creates and takes ownership to their development plan. Having the employee take ownership in crafting and documenting his/her plan will ensure that he/she is engaged and are willing to put in the effort to make a skill improvement or behavior change. In addition, by taking ownership for their development, the employee is more motivated to achieve the developmental objectives they set for themselves. An employee is more likely to buy-into a development plan if they are the ones selecting the skills they want to enhance. People achieve more and perform better when they want to verses when they have to. By choosing skills they want to develop, rather than being told what to develop, an employee is more intrinsically motivated.
In addition, by drafting their own plan, employees take personal responsibility and accountability for their professional growth. That ownership fosters employee engagement thus increasing the likelihood of completing the plan timely, completely, and with a high degree of motivation and effort.
Successful realization of behavior changes or skill improvement requires not only recognition of need, but a clear plan to make the necessary behavior changes or skill improvement come to fruition. Having this plan written ensures both the supervisor/manager and the employee have a reference tool and a guide to improvement. Also, writing the objectives and actions needed to achieve those objectives increases commitment on the part of the employee and supervisor/manager.
The employee’s plan should have clearly stated objectives with measurable outcomes as well as target completion dates to help ensure the employee is working towards definitive time frames. The written plan can also help ensure that it is tied to our organization goals, and that those goals are aligned to the employee’s goals.
Measurable goals must be weaved into the employee development plans to ensure maximum performance. Metrics need to be established to track the success parameters of the skill enhancement and improvement initiatives. Therefore, each Development Action Plan should have an objective statement for each skill/competency that fully encompasses the result that is expected upon completion of the plan (e.g. increase sales by 5%, reduce expenses by 8%, receive 82% or higher customer satisfaction, etc…).
An employee development program is most effective if the individual plans are connected to the organization’s goals and objectives, as well as tied to the employee’s career goals. The Employee Development Plan within the organizational development program has measurable objectives and specified outcomes that will transfer back to the job and relate to the goals of the organization.
Linking employee improvement objectives to organizational goals provides the employee with clear direction and a context for their work while positively affecting the company productivity.
Often, employees attend a training class with little or no follow-up on the implementation of those learned skills and/or behaviors to their job performance. The successful development program will have a follow-up component where the employee indicates how they are applying the learned skill to their job functions to increase their performance and how that skill is helping to achieve the organizational goals. This follow-up review helps evaluate and measure the training and/or developmental efforts.
Supervisors/managers must actively participate in the development process through collaboration and coaching. Although the onus for the development plan is on the employee, the immediate supervisor/manager should collaborate with the employee and provide feedback as the employee is crafting his/her Development Action Plan. They should give useful feedback on current performance, how to prioritize actions, and make recommendations on various training courses / developmental actions. The supervisor/manager must also regularly monitor the employee’s progress. The supervisor/manager should schedule to meet quarterly to discuss how things are going.
In addition, the supervisor/manager should regularly provide feedback on what the individual is doing well and what they need to be doing differently. The supervisor/manager should implore coaching techniques such as observing, questioning, and listening. Feedback is critical to the success of the developmental process as it provides valuable information and gives guidance on performance. Feedback is also important to the employee because it shows that his/her development is important to the supervisor/manager and the company.
Assess their level of mastery with regard to the competencies and skills required in their job.
Identify development opportunities and then identify various training courses that will help achieve their objectives to meet the identified needs.
Create a development plan that list measurable objectives as well as a course of action to achieve those objectives.
Periodically assess progress toward reaching his/her objectives.
Complete a Strategy Implementation sheet 30-60 days after completion of the course/action indicating how they are applying the learned skill.
Complete a Performance Evaluation sheet just prior to their yearly review to evaluate outcomes of training and development efforts and assess how their new skills are incorporated into their job responsibilities.
Realistically assess employee’s strengths and development needs in relation to organizational objectives.
Identify development opportunities and ensure the alignment of the opportunities to organizational goals and objectives.
Help employees identify appropriate training courses and development opportunities that will help address this need/opportunity.
Ensure the employee is proactive with the implementation of the plan.
Provide regular opportunities to discuss employee’s progress and provide feedback on performance.
Meet with employee quarterly to assess progress.
Help evaluate outcomes of employee’s training and development efforts.
The following forms can be utilized to help ensure consistency in process and to achieve the preferred / intended outcomes.
Self-Assessment Worksheet The worksheet lists skills/competencies that are necessary to achieve high performance levels. The employee uses the form to assess and indicate their perceived level of mastery of those particular skills/competencies. The employee will also indicate which skills they believe would be beneficial to further develop.
Development Portfolio: Employee Employee lists the skills/competencies they and their supervisor/manager agreed to address over the next review period along with training courses or other development actions that the employee will complete to develop the listed skills. The employee will also list measurable objectives / outcomes that they expect to reach at the completion of the review period through the application of that skill.
Strategy Implementation Follow-up Used as a follow-up to a training course or developmental action to indicate how the knowledge acquired and skills learned from the course/action are implemented into the employee’s daily job functions.
Performance Evaluation Shortly before their annual review, the employee will complete the form indicating how they applied the new skill to his/her job activities and how successful he/she was in achieving his/her objectives.
Skill Assessment Worksheet The worksheet lists skills/competencies that are necessary to achieve high performance levels. The supervisor/manager assesses and indicates their perceived level of competency of the list skills for an employee. They will also indicate what skills may benefit from additional development.
Development Portfolio:: Supervisor/manager Used by the supervisor/manager to help monitor the progress of the employee. | 2019-04-23T02:06:51Z | http://thepeakperformancecenter.com/business/performance-management/professional-development-program/key-elements/ |

Regina Ann Campbell is the SWOT City portfolio manager at TechTown. This week, I had a precious opportunity to interview Regina, and the interview was very inspiring and gave me more insights of social entrepreneurship. Regina is from local Detroit, and she achieved master degrees in Urban & Regional Planning and Economic Development at University of Michigan. Before working at TechTown, Regina joined Detroit Revitalization Fellows program at Wayne State University. From the experience of Detroit Revitalization Fellows program, Regina said she found her passion, which is to work with small businesses and help them to grow. Consequently, Regina chose to work at TechTown to continue pursuing her passion.
Regina believes the most exciting part of social entrepreneurship is it combines both nonprofit’s social mission and for-profit goal. A social entrepreneur can solve social issues and at the same time make profits. She thinks this new way of addressing social problems gives people new motivation and new possibilities to move forward. Moreover, another reason Regina chose to become a social entrepreneur is social entrepreneur is in a leading position of social changes. Regina believes social entrepreneurship is the leading power of social innovation, and by working in a nonprofit organization, she can have more flexibility, diversity, and network with local communities, and all these elements are indispensable of making impacts on communities.
In the process of interviewing with Regina, I can fell the energy and passion Regina possesses. When talking about the spirit a social entrepreneur should have, Regina keeps repeating one word: persistence. Regina says ”always believe when one door is closed, there is a window open for you”. For young social entrepreneurs, “Failure is the best lesson”, said Regina. On the road of entrepreneurship, ninety-nine percent of people give up because they are beat down by failures, but those one percent of people are who view every failure as a test, and there is no test that can not be conquered. Embrace every failure, because they bring success closer to you.
When talking about the future of Detroit, Regina believes Detroit is a city full of opportunities and hope, and Detroit can become a global community in the future. However, Regina also does not ignore the problems Detroit has. “Education is the most urgent problem that needs to address”, said Regina, and imbalance of the development in Detroit also cannot be neglected.
From the interview, I believe Regina possesses all the elements that a great social entrepreneur should have, and I am looking forward to seeing the impact she will bring to Detroit.
While I do know Regina rather well, she does epitomize the strong will and desire Detroit people possess. She has obtained the necessary education and experience to be a successful role model as a social entrepreneur. Great interview and thanks for allowing us to meet up close and more personal a true citizen of our community involved in our come back for those of us who never left. | 2019-04-20T12:48:05Z | https://www.dukeengagedetroit.org/student-blog/-interview-with-regina-ann-campbell-by-jimmy-zhang |

If we do not invest in our military, we risk losing the priceless peace and freedom that countless Americans have fought and died defending.
Our nation is facing challenges across the globe in ways I have never seen in all of my years in Congress. The threats to our national security have grown, but both the size of our military and its readiness have been so degraded we cannot provide the combat ready forces required to meet these security challenges.
This lack of readiness threatens the lives of our service men and women. And moreover, it puts our homeland and national interests at risk.
Defense Secretary James Mattis and the Trump administration have made a resounding commitment to rebuild and strengthen our armed forces through three specific phases — improve warfighter readiness, address shortfalls and build a larger, more capable and more lethal joint force.
As the chairman of the Subcommittee on Readiness of the Senate Armed Services Committee or SASC, I fully support Secretary Mattis and President Trump. It is time to rebuild our military and this starts with readiness. Our Department of Defense has been forced to make deep cuts to investments in military construction or MILCON.
The steady downturn in MILCON projects directly impacts readiness and the ability of our military to meet mission requirements. Improving our forces’ readiness starts with once again prioritizing investments in new military infrastructure. Cuts in MILCON affect our military and can be seen at our own Altus Air Force Base.
The base has been in need of a new fire station for years and building a new one has been a priority for the base and within the Air Force. However, under MILCON cuts during the Obama administration, this project was never able to get funding.
This is unacceptable, which is why I have worked hard in my role as Readiness Subcommittee chair to prioritize the new fire station. Without an adequate fire station, the lives of our armed service members who serve on the base, as well as first responders, are put at risk. This is not just a safety problem; it is a readiness problem, and it illustrates a larger problem across our nation’s military installations.
Further, it is imperative that our Department of Defense does not consider a round of base realignment and closure or BRAC while our readiness is at an all-time low. Our first priority must be rebuilding the force. If we do a BRAC now, we’d be diverting money away from rebuilding and focusing it on closing bases that we may actually need with our larger force.
We must understand what our future force structure will look like — its size and composition, how it will train and the infrastructure required to sustain it — before we are even have the necessary information to begin to think about base closures.
We ask much of our service men and women deployed around the world and those preparing for combat here at home. We owe them a profound debt for their willingness to serve and to risk everything for the good of our nation. The least we can do is give them the tools and infrastructure they need to maximize military readiness and minimize the risks they face in carrying out the invaluable work of securing our nation.
We need to address all readiness issues, including the fire station at Altus Air Force Base, and that is what I am working to accomplish in Washington. | 2019-04-21T04:53:12Z | https://www.inhofe.senate.gov/newsroom/oped/investing-in-military-infrastructure-keeps-altus-and-our-nation-safe |

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — NBC executives said Sunday they are conscious about the amount of violence they air in the wake of real-life tragedies like the Connecticut school shooting, but have made no changes in what has gone on the air or what is planned.
NBC isn’t a “shoot-’em-up” network, said network entertainment President Jennifer Salke.
The level of violence on television, in movies and video games has been looked at as a contributing factor – along with the availability of guns and a lack of mental health services – in incidents such as the Dec. 14 attack in a Newtown, Conn., school where 20 first-graders and six educators were killed.
Like many in Hollywood, NBC questioned a link between what is put on the air and what is happening in society.
NBC hasn’t needed to take any tangible steps like minimizing violence in its programming or deemphasizing guns, Salke said, because NBC didn’t have much violence on the air. It might be different “if we were the `shoot-’em-up’ network, she said. | 2019-04-21T20:35:31Z | https://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/nbc-its-not-a-shoot-em-up-network/ |

In today’s social engagement reality, brands need real people to represent them.
Leaders that do not consider the benefits of personal branding are losing an opportunity to unleash incredible innovation within their business.
Personal branding can build and continuously strengthen a relationship of loyalty and trust with your customers.
Ultimately, business is all about people. The people who are driven to build a brand and the people who feel a connection to that brand, and then become its loyal customers and advocates.
In a person-driven, crowdfunded, social engagement business reality, both new and established brands and companies need real people to represent them. You cannot just hide behind a logo. When applied in alignment with your corporate brand strategy, personal branding can build and continuously strengthen a relationship of loyalty and trust with your customers.
Personal branding of key people within an organisation is very powerful. To explore this idea, and what drives personal branding from theory to business practice, I spoke to Jack Perlinski, a personal branding strategist and author of the BrandMe programme (www.thinkbrandme.com). He has developed a practical framework to put theories into practice, and to measure and quantify the effect of the investment in personal branding not only to the individual, but also the organisation.
We are entering a new brand economy. Perlinski calls it the Trust Brand Economy. We are looking to brands to deliver more than a promise, we want to trust them to consistently delight, surprise and deliver on their brand promise to us. If we catch them not delivering, that broken promise will be immediately shared and visible to all.
The passion of the individual or their team to champion the brand promise, brand agenda, ethics and values. If you are going to be that champion, you have to ask yourself whether you really love what you do, and whether that is driving a connection to your customer. Because when the customer looks beyond the veneer of your brand they find what they are going to connect to--or not.
Perlinski’s work with personal branding often evolves from questions like “What are you passionate about?” When applying the answers, and linking them to what people actually have to do, it allows them to bring a completely different problem-solving mindset to the table; one that can create revolutionary ideas. Connecting what you do to the thing you are most passionate about is absolutely critical to creating and unlocking innovation.
Your own journey of personal branding is one thing, but how do you handle it when the CEO asks you to make him or her a personal brand? After all, are you not working in branding and marketing?
First, a bit of advice: Do not immediately show any emotional reaction, as that is fraught with danger. Go back and give it some thought, then challenge the CEO to dig a little more deeply into what mobilises them, and what their own brand promise is. What is their motto? What drives them as a leader within an organisation?
You have to develop a narrative that allows others to understand the answers to these questions. It‘s your elevator pitch for the CEO. We’re used to thinking about the idea of a USP in a corporate brand framework. Well, what is the CEO’s USP? Try to either get it from the CEO themselves (which is rarely easy), or take on the responsibility of developing a brand proposition for the CEO and present it back to them to see the reaction. Then you will make the CEO value the process and the responsibility they are about to step into as a stakeholder in the communication, rather than a delegator. The CEO needs to understand that now will be the time to step up and get into the spotlight.
That means that now you have to go beyond usual marketing mechanics and really dig deep to understand the passion of the brand you represent and your market. If you can do that, you are really tapping into a unique angle, and a unique voice that will keep your customers connected to your brand.
According to Jack Perlinski, the pitfalls of personal branding come in two categories.
When you start talking about building your personal brand, company decision-makers percieve a risk. They worry that you are you going to get full of your own importance and leave the organisation for greener pastures, so why should they invest in your brand with that risk in mind? However, in Perlinski’s experience, that rarely happens. When people passionately connect to what they do, they enjoy their job. So they tend to stay and be connected more deeply. Those leaders that do not consider the benefits of personal branding for someone on their team--because of their fear of that person leaving--are losing an opportunity to unleash incredible innovation within their business.
Another pitfall of personal branding is people getting intoxicated with the idea that they are going to create a personal brand and everyone is going to notice how amazing they are. This is actually the complete opposite of what building a personal brand is about, because it is not about your desire, it is about your commitment. You are committing to what it is you are going to do, so that others recognise your brand through your performance. It is not about what you say you are, it is what you are prepared to do so that other will recognise your own brand. Some people think they are going to become famous instantly, but the process of personal branding is like running a marathon. You have to commit.
COMMITMENT to building your brand. You need to implement processes of organisational behaviour that are valued, replicable, scalable and teachable to ensure your brand can consistently deliver on its promise.
In practice, most organisations stop at the first two. They DEFINE and ALIGN, and think the job is done. They think these two will deliver the brand return, when in fact they are creating a negative return, because all they are doing is spending money. Not moving further means your marketing and branding efforts will be perceived mostly as expenses, not investments in the business.
When people move into the COMMITMENT phase and have to make certain everyone is fulfilling their part of the agenda, things get a lot harder. So many tend to not do it so well, or so often. But for successful branding, corporate or personal, commitment is key.
Jack Perlinski authored the program BrandMe (www.thinkbrandme.com) - a program that helps you define, align, implement and sustain your personal brand into action.

In this week we introduced health surveillance and health intelligence as important tools for investigating outbreaks. The importance of using health surveillance and health intelligence data for determining if an outbreak is deliberate or naturally occurring was explored. We then outlined an historical example of a non-accidental outbreak of a high risk pathogen at the Sverdlovsk military facility, its features, recognition, investigation and important features of the event. We then discussed the importance of this event to the bioterrorism and biosecurity academic and professional community.
Feel free to share your reflections and views on deliberate and non-deliberate biological events and the risks posed by high risk pathogens. | 2019-04-26T00:19:15Z | https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/biosecurity-terrorism/1/steps/175916 |
Right back at’cha, Liberty U.
Front Page » Events » Right back at’cha, Liberty U.
Good ol’ Liberty U., that bastion of narrowmindedness – you wouldn’t expect anything other than to hear that the school has formally revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Party club, and will subject Liberty U. Democrats who still consider themselves Liberty U. Democrats to possible expulsion.
Whaddya say we do the same thing to Liberty U.?
First to the Democratic Party issue. “The Democratic Party platform is contrary to the mission of Liberty University and to Christian doctrine (supports abortion, federal funding of abortion, advocates repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, promotes the ‘LGBT’ agenda, hate crimes, which include sexual orientation and gender identity, socialism, etc.),” read an e-mail from Mark Hine, the vice president of student affairs at Liberty, to Brian Diaz, the president of the Liberty University Democratic Party organization.
And so, according to the e-mail, the club must stop using the university’s name as part of its name, can no longer hold meetings on campus and cannot advertise its events to fellow students. Violators of the edict from on high are subject to reprimands under the school’s Liberty Way conduct code and could face expulsion.
“We are in no way attempting to stifle free speech,” Hine told the Lynchburg News and Advance, obviously oblivious to the concept of hypocrisy as he spoke.
He told the paper that the university could not sanction a club that supported Democratic candidates, which brings up a question from me. How can we Virginia taxpayers continue to support with our tax dollars a university that doesn’t follow the basic tenets of free speech and freedom of expression?
Now to what we the people need to say to Liberty U. Liberty U., as a private university in Virginia, participates in the Virginia Tuition Assistance Grant program. About 20 percent of Liberty students are eligible for the grants, which are valued in the area of $2,000 a year, meaning they’re not insubstantial to the students or to the school.
It’s clear that the Liberty U. platform is contrary to the mission of the TAG program and the taxpayers of Virginia for the use of their higher-education dollars, which isn’t to advance the cause of the Democratic Party or Republican Party or the right-to-life movement or the choice movement or any party or movement or ideology or line of thought but to promote learning and growth and self-improvement across the spectrums.
It’s time we send this message loud and clear. | 2019-04-24T23:44:37Z | https://augustafreepress.com/right-back-atcha-liberty-u/ |
I also posted this question to StackOverflow here, as well (though worded slightly differently).
On a reasonably equipped 64-bit Fedora (home) server with 12-Cores and 64gb-RAM, I have Spark 2.4 running in Standalone mode using the latest downloadable pre-built tarball.
export SPARK_WORKER_INSTANCES=4 # troubleshooting. E.g. 12 x 5; 12 x 1; etc.
I connect to this spark://dstorm:7077 MASTER via Jupyter notebook (actually JupyterLab) Tabs (plural) and via an interactive Python / pySpark session.
Now the first one of these (say, three) sessions where I issue some commands to perform analytic work -- super basic things (nothing heavy duty) -- eventually grabs all the cores (i.e. SPARK_WORKER_CORES x SPARK_WORKER_INSTANCES), leaving nothing left for the other two sessions -- not even to issue a very first command in them. Issuing a df.collect() on a tiny pre-configured DataFrame of 3-rows x 3-columns (pre-configured via PYTHONSTARTUP), results in simply having to wait forever (although, you eventually do see Spark console output suggesting that you check if you have enough resources). A visit to the SparkUI confirms that one activity/session is RUNNING with all cores (even though that session's "script" has completed and is now idle); while the other two are WAITING -- forever as it turns out, or at least until I kill the one RUNNING (but idle) instance.
I thought there would be multiplexing between sessions with this setup.
Is that not the case, or did I configure something incorrectly or incompletely (requiring additional steps)? | 2019-04-19T22:23:50Z | https://forums.databricks.com/questions/16145/how-to-configure-spark-standalone-on-a-single-mult.html |
As President Obama's health care overhaul begins to change how Americans get their health insurance, the nearly 22 million people who are self-employed will see some of the most dramatic changes, with perhaps half of them headed for the new health exchanges in the fall.
I'm one of them - I recently received notice that the insurance I had been buying for three years would "terminate." I will be shopping for coverage on one of the new health insurance exchanges.
The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that 9 million people will buy their 2014 health insurance on one of the new state marketplaces, after they open on October 1. By 2016, that will rise to 23 million, the CBO says.
"The vast majority of people know it is coming, but it is a very abstract thing," says Katie Vlietstra, director of government affairs at the National Association for the Self-Employed, an organization that has sold health insurance to its members in the pre-Obamacare world. She figures that roughly half of all self-employed people will be shopping on the exchanges.
In late May, I received notification from The Entertainment Group Insurance Trust that my existing insurance - an Oxford Health sole proprietor plan in New York - would terminate December 31. TEIGIT has administered plans for sole proprietors, small businesses and members of participating arts and entertainment associations since 1965.
With New York state's health insurance exchange not yet open and no way to shop immediately for a new plan, I felt the momentary rush of panic. What would I find to replace my corporate-like health plan, which had covered me for both in-network and out, with a low deductible. Would it be as good, and what would it cost?
While there's no way to know how many self-employed people are getting letters like this, I'm sure that I'm not alone. Whether your health insurance is going away at year-end because it fails to meet the terms of health reform, because of an insurer's business decision or some other reason, you might be in the same boat I am - left waiting for the exchanges to open with big, unanswered questions. | 2019-04-23T08:06:54Z | https://www.tecinsurance.com/blog/entrepreneurs_and_health_insurance.aspx |

SSA then began a series of biennial studies of the income of the aged based on the CPS data alone. The first report in the series described the income of the population aged 55 or older, and in some cases the population aged 65 or older, using 1976 data. The second report described apparent changes in the income of those age groups between 1976 and 1978. In the interest of publishing the data in a more timely fashion, however, beginning with the 1980 report, publications in the series have consisted of tabulations only. Starting with the 1990 report, we expanded the series with a companion publication, Income of the Aged Chartbook which highlights selected data in charts and tables for the population aged 65 or older.
Beginning with this expanded 2004 edition, we are publishing a broader range of statistics to meet user needs. Some of these changes include introducing new statistics on demographics and noncash benefits, as well as adding an Asian category for tabulations by race. In addition, we have substantially increased the number of tables on the family income of aged persons and reformatted or added some tables for consistency across sections. New text sections are included to further assist data users. This new format will be used on a regular basis starting with the 2006 income data.
The tables focus on the income of the aged population separately, whether or not they live with other relatives. In contrast, Census Bureau publications that use CPS data classify aged persons living with a younger relative who is considered the householder as families under 65. Thus, a portion of the aged population cannot be accounted for within the Census Bureau's categorization. But for the 21 percent of persons aged 65 or older who lived with other family members in 2004, the income of the families with whom they lived is important information.
Lynn Fisher and Anne DeCesaro were responsible for the preparation of this report. Staff of the Division of Information Resources edited the report and prepared the print and Web versions for publication. | 2019-04-19T12:49:12Z | https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/income_pop55/2004ee/index.html |
