I swear that I am not complaining, because the snowmageddon that we were originally supposed to get only dumped 11″ on the city, instead of the 24″ that they were originally predicting. The snow is so pretty and I love having snow days, but I do miss seeing amazing sunsets like the one above every now and again.
I also cannot believe that it is already the end of January, and that this is my first This & That Thursday post. Where is the time going!? I thought that I would just quickly share a few things that I have been using to stay on track with my New Year Resolutions, and just a few other things that I am obsessing over right now.
I have been playing around with veganism a little bit lately, just to see how if feels in my body. This little guide has been a great resource for keeping me on track. Whole30 isn’t just for meat eaters anymore.
Santa got me this and I can now make fizzy water ALL of the days! I also don’t have to worry about hauling heavy water bottles back from the grocery store anymore and I am saving on plastic…winning!
The winters in NYC are super dry. To save my poor skin, I have been obsessing over this oil. I have been lubing up my hands, body, hair and face with this stuff nonstop. It is also made in Brooklyn…Yay, for local things!
Holy Crap the Super Bowl is this weekend! If you are looking for some great heathy-ish snack ideas check out this. | 2019-04-22T20:14:17Z | https://glitterspice.com/this-that-thursday/ |
Deploying the annoying jingling tune in the daytime television advertisements, there is a new breed of homebuyer that is threatening the traditional real estate status quo.
Where people would once work with realtors or sell the properties independently to buyers, it is now possible to sell to companies interested in buying the house in a matter of weeks.
The companies are willing to purchase the home at up to 90% of its market value, and the payment is available in cash if that is your preference. This article will tell you all about this new breed of housebuyers San Antonio, known as property investors.
If you are trying to make a quick sale, it is possible to use one of the many “quick sale house investors” now available online. All these property firms state their objective is to purchase a property from struggling homeowners who need to sell quickly; however, in reality, the buying price is a fraction of the real property value.
Furthermore, with a lack of regulation in this area of property sales, many quick sale customers are following in the footsteps of sale and rent back tenants.
According to real estate we buy houses San Antonio professionals, homeowners searching for quick sales are by definition obvious targets for quick sale property websites.
They are vulnerable individuals who are unlikely to be offered the full property market value, but they are willing to accept this loss for a speedy sale. Many of the websites state that they will remove only 10% of the market value, but the figure is often higher.
This means that the seller will receive much less than the 90% market value amount they thought they would be receiving. As a benefit, when you sell a property to a property investor, there are no legal fees or commissions to be paid.
Statistics show that many of these property websites indicate that they will help you if you have arrears by ceasing any impending repossession of the property, as long as you have adequate equity.
This means that property investors can be useful if you face losing the house altogether due to high repossession fees. However, this is rarely the focus of an investor with people paying more attention to the quick sale of the properties.
If that is the most significant factor, experts state that housebuyers San Antonio need to be prepared to make losses.
According to real estate agent Dean Heaviside from Fine Estate Agents, using property investors is potentially selling at its worst option. The websites focus fully on negative news and prey on the vulnerable home sellers.
The sellers need to realize that an offer to pay 90% of their property’s market value is not realistic, and the investors are more than likely to pay an amount far less than the actual worth.
In fact, reports show that many of these new housebuyers San Antonio offer less than 50% of the property’s market value during a transaction.
One of the greatest problems with property investors is that this area is an unregulated sector of the real estate industry. The majority of firms are looking to make a ‘quick buck’ with some smaller companies taking on properties that were passed to buy-to-let landlords.
If those landlords failed, the original homeowner would be made homeless selling well below the property’s market value. Of course, there are certain property investors that stand apart from the competition and are genuine cash buyers.
It is important that one does research before contacting these sites or doing business with them. According to Kate Faulkner, who runs a property advice sites, you should check on the Companieshouse.co.uk website to see if the firm is registered.
If they are registered, then you should conduct further research regarding how long the company has traded and their annual turnover.
If you are dealing with a company that has not had any profit and has been operating for a short period, it is recommended that you tread carefully. You should not sell a property for less than 20% of your property’s value, and never do this without a contract.
As can be seen, there are various issues to consider when dealing with property investment companies. By reading this information, you can determine if using these websites to purchase your home is suitable for your needs. | 2019-04-20T15:16:16Z | http://www.photo2000.co.uk/dealing-with-a-new-breed-of-housebuyers-san-antonio/ |

Best territorial viewpoint for the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road, Australia – if the crowds weren’t there!
Yup, that's the same place alright.

Uncrowded Loch Ard Gorge, painted in dawn’s gentle pastels. Great Ocean Road, Australia.
The Great Ocean Road showcases some magnificent Australian coastline. The 12 Apostles (well -- what's left of them -- 7 or so) justifiably garners oodles press and thus attracts hordes of international tourists. There were many worthwhile places to stop and take the vistas in, and we stopped at many.
The route is clogged with busses disgorging multitudes of passengers at the most popular stops, especially the Apostles.

"Don't bother trying to get shots of the Apostles at sunset," warned Ozzie local Sally, when we chatted at some waterfalls near the Great Ocean road. "Last time I went there, a guy set up three big tripods in the best viewing area and wouldn't budge. He just kept moving between each one. Plus, there were all the others...."

Worse still, we discovered, were the rental vans, manned by folks who were clearly unused to driving faster than 60 km on the smooth, curvy highways with 80-110 km speed limits. Nor did they get the etiquette of pullouts or protocol of passing lanes.

We came across a brilliant cartoon that summed it up nicely. It showed a campervan wending its way through the hills. "Look at this pristine country!" the driver exclaimed. "And not a single car in sight!" The driver was followed closely by a dozen vehicles, hidden to him behind his pokey rig.
"I call it Phyco Circus," was Andrew's opinion of The Great Ocean Road. We met Andrew, another Ozzie local, in Laver Hill, just off the Great Ocean Road. It was early. Andrew was sipping a coffee when Wayne wrangled him for some local where-to-go advice.

While the crowds drove the joy out of cruising great Ocean Road for Andrew, he recommended Loch Ard Gorge; said he liked it better than the 12 Apostles.

Indeed, the crowds at the 12 Apostles sucked the much of joy out of what was otherwise a lovely series of scenic vistas. I quickly nixed my earlier notion of returning from our nearby Port Campbell digs for a sunset photo. It was pretty likely Sally's photo-zilla observation wasn't just some one-time exaggeration.
Stalagtites, Loch Ard Gorge, Great Ocean Road, Australia.
Wayne brilliantly suggested since our Port Campbell hostel room was only a 15-minute drive from there, that we get up early enough in the morning to see it before the crowds arrived, and in time to make it back to our room and hit the showers before check out and hitting the road.

The hostel was top-rated, and quite nice.
The Grotto, overview, Great Ocean Road, South of Port Campbell.
It was also $140 AUD -- that's over $100 USD, for a simple private room, but a shared bath (but far cheaper then $270 for the Best Western). Ok, linens (sheets and towels) were included, as was wifi and full access to the communal kitchen, but little else was free. You could gaze at the hostel's barista-made coffee for sale, while either imbibing in some free instant or doing what we did, making our own.

We got up at 6:30. Hit the road by 7, and were at Loch Ard Gorge well before sunrise. And we had it nearly all to ourselves!
London Bridge, mid-morning, not too crowded. Great Ocean Road, South of Port Campbell.
Bottom line -- Agony or ecstasy – should the Great Ocean Road crowds keep you away?
Maybe it’s like pizza… even when it’s bad, it’s kinda still good.
If you have the time to go, and can plan to be at a scenic spot in good weather before the sun comes up, the Great Ocean Road is positively magical. Great Ocean Road is good as or better than the promo pictures, and best captured by being there, whether your photos do it justice or not.

This post reflects the time we spent on the Great Ocean Road, February 24-27, 2017. At the moment, we're getting in some last minute wifi and topping off our gas tanks in Ceduna before we begin our trek across Australia's famed desolate Nullarbar Road.
More catch-up and more on our circumnavigation across Australia's ocean of land.

James Garfield was born on a frontier farm in Cuyahoga County, Ohio in 1831. While President of Hiram College, Garfield was elected to Ohio senate in 1859 and served as an officer in the Union Army during the Civil War. At the 1880 Republican Nation Convention, Garfield became a "dark horse" nominee on the thirty-sixth ballot. He went on to win the election by a margin of only 10,000 popular vote and became the twentieth president. Less than 4 months after his inauguration, Garfield was shot by a disgruntled office-seeker while waiting for a train in Washington, DC. He never recovered from the wound and died on September 19, 1881, at the age of 49. | 2019-04-22T08:13:40Z | https://www.teachersfirst.com/share/states/famous-main.cfm?id=103&s=pol |
The lack of both legislative and judicial integrity led to a governmental system which is federalist in name but centrally planned in reality. Congress regularly passes laws which stretch the conceivable bounds of its powers. By failing to overturn such legislation, the Supreme Court ignores the benefits of federalism and the significance of dual sovereignty. These changes render the individual citizen's opinion rather meaningless while attacking the roots of democracy and threatening the liberties early Americans so earnestly tried to preserve. The People are left without a mechanism through which to speak on a national level. Because of this dissolution of the People's political ties, it becomes necessary for the governed to assert their inalienable right to prudently alter their form of government. This note contends the reserved rights of the People include the right to rescind any power usurped or abused by the federal government. In these times, the People cannot effectively influence policy, nor rely on state legislatures, Congress, or the Court to defend federalism. No other measure short of Constitutional amendment is potent enough or durable enough to attain and preserve an appropriate balance of power. States' Repeal, by a two-thirds majority of states, is the proper measure to reinvigorate a sound system of federalism, which, in turn, shall secure the blessings of liberty for current and future generations of Americans. | 2019-04-19T12:28:39Z | https://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/clevstlrev/vol44/iss4/8/ |

NASHVILLE, Ind. -- Indiana University's Brown County Playhouse opens its summer season of professional theater Thursday, June 10, with the Tony Award-winning musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The production showcases professional actors from Broadway alongside students and recent graduates of IU's Department of Theatre and Drama.
Broadway performer Susan Owen (currently on hiatus from "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway), left, rehearses songs for "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," the opening show of the Brown County Playhouse Season, with IU student performers. The season opens June 10 in Nashville, Ind.
Hailed by The New York Times as "effortlessly endearing," Bee tells the tale of six young outsiders in the throes of puberty who compete for the spelling bee championship of a lifetime. Overseen by grownups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, the contestants begin to learn that winning isn't everything -- and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. Four lucky spellers will be chosen from the audience at each performance to join in the contest on stage.
Taking a short leave from her role as Christine in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, Susan Owen makes her debut at the Brown County Playhouse as Rona Peretti. Fresh from another production of Spelling Bee in Florida, Erick Pinnick makes his Playhouse debut as Mitch Mahoney. Pinnick, also a Broadway veteran, played Walter Payton in The Tin Pan Alley Rag, and toured in Sunset Boulevard and Jesus Christ Superstar.
Joining Owen and Pinnick in the ensemble are Brown County Playhouse veterans Lovlee Carroll (Suds, The All Night Strut!), Henry A. McDaniel III (Present Laughter), Russell Stout (The All Night Strut!) and Mandy Striph (The All Night Strut! and There Goes the Bride). Making their Brown County Playhouse debuts are Matt Birdsong, Stephanie Cohen and Matthew Martin. Birdsong previously appeared in the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center's production of Blood Brothers and A Little Night Music, while Cohen appeared in The Wild Party and Oklahoma!, and Matthew Martin in Seussical the Musical, Hamlet, The Seagull, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, A Little Night Music and as Jean Paul Marat in Marat/Sade.
Terry LaBolt leads performers through rehearsals for "Spelling Bee," opening June 10 at Brown County Playhouse.
Brown County Playhouse Producer Jonathan Michaelsen directs Bee, Emmy Award winner George Pinney choreographs and Terry LaBolt directs the music. Joining this trio are scenic designer Katie McDermott, lighting designer Chris Wood, costume designer Robbie Stanton and sound designer Colin Shay. Joining the Brown County Playhouse stage management staff of Christopher Lee and Joe Fernandez is Indiana Repertory Theatre resident stage manager Nathan Garrison.

Before recommending refractive surgery, a provider will conduct a thorough examination in order to evaluate vision and check for any diseases of the eyes. This exam will include a series of tests designed to evaluate refractive errors and screen for eye disorders, and to determine which, if any, refractive surgery may best treat the patient’s condition. Dr. Flemings, can you tell us more about this exam?
Sure, Dr. Reynolds. The exam is typically painless, but it may take some time and require some patience. In most cases, providers will conduct an external eye exam, where they will check the eyes using a bright light to check the position and movement of each eye, confirm that the pupils respond normally, and examine the appearance of the cornea.
An eye muscle test is used to confirm that the eye muscles are working properly. The provider may ask the patient to follow an object, such as a pen, with their eyes. This test helps the provider detect any problems with the muscles that control eye movement.
A visual acuity test measures how sharply or clearly a person can see something at a distance. The provider will ask the patient to identify different letters of the alphabet from a chart that is usually placed 20 feet away. The size of each line of letters gets smaller as you move down the chart.
The patient covers one eye and reads the smallest line they can see, and then repeats with the other eye. The provider monitors how well the patient can identify the letters, and the result is recorded as a fraction.
This is where the term “20/20 vision” comes from. The top number represents the distance from the patient to the eye chart. The bottom number represents the distance at which a person with normal vision can correctly read the smallest line read by the patient. For example, if a person’s visual acuity is determined to be 20/50, that person can read at a distance of 20 feet what a person with normal vision can read at a distance of 50 feet. | 2019-04-22T19:55:23Z | https://refractiveeyesurgery.cemmlibrary.org/Eye-Tests/Evaluating-Refractive-Errors |

Growing concern about the extent to which organized crime is undermining stability and prosperity on the African continent is galvanizing a search for analytical tools and a clamour for more research to understand the contextual forces at play and how best to undermine them.
of the growing number of mentions and resolutions made by the UN Security Council over the past eight years, 80 percent related to Africa.
The focus on Africa has largely coincided with the accompanying realization over the last decade that not only does organized crime threaten development but that development-orientated solutions are necessary to combat it.
Growing demand in Asia and the Middle East for both licit and illicit goods has fuelled trade in Africa. “The burgeoning market for recreational drugs and wildlife products has caused criminal networks in Africa to grow and become increasingly professional and militarized. At the same time, demand for recreational drugs in the Gulf, coupled with instability across North Africa, has pulled trafficking flows eastwards,” reads the report. The rise in amphetamine use in emerging markets in the Gulf and Asia means that drug production is no longer confined to specific geographical areas. In southern Africa, weapons smuggling routes from the liberation wars are now being used to traffic wildlife products and other illicit goods.
Shaw invokes the notion of a “protection economy” to illustrate how the various players intersect in countries where the state’s capacity is weak. He identifies three key components that comprise a protection economy: firstly, provision of violence or “the people with guns” to secure the movement of contraband, which can vary from elements in the security forces themselves to militia, to gangs, to private security companies; secondly, corruption - involving payment to key government officials; thirdly, criminal investment in the communities themselves to ensure legitimacy and smooth operation, such as payment to political parties, or financing of local facilities.
“This is a better way to understand organized crime in a particular context where the state is weak or unable to offer protection. It allows you to look at the whole range of state, business, criminal and community actors and understand how they are interrelated,” adds Shaw, who believes that every major criminal network operating on the continent contains these three elements in varying degrees. Where the state is particularly weak “the protection economy is most pronounced,” he says.
Where such overlaps between crime, state and politics occur, traditional law and order responses - such as seizure of contraband and locking up culprits (usually those at the lower levels) - won’t solve the problems, comments Stephen Ellis, researcher at the African Studies Center in Leiden, the Netherlands.
He cites failed efforts to combat the drug trade in West Africa, as an example. There is a widespread sense among law and order contingents, he says, that they cannot adequately address organized crime because “they don’t have the right tools. The nature of the problem has changed but in ways that are not easy to understand,” he adds, noting a blurring of the frontiers between legitimate and illegitimate enterprise, particularly in so-called failed or failing states. “The notion of a ‘failed state’ is not a term I like,” adds Ellis, “because it does not necessarily correspond to what is happening on the ground.” However, it is a useful tool to identify those countries where the state does not have a monopoly on violence, he says. According to Foreign Policy’s index of 50 failed states, 32 are located in Africa.
A recent report by the West African Commission on Drugs notes that “the work of traffickers in the region is facilitated by a wide range of people, which can include business executives, politicians, members of the security forces and the judiciary, clergymen, traditional leaders and youth.” Because elections are privately funded in most parts of this region, they are easily co-opted by drug money.
Examples of the involvement of the state and political actors in organized crime across the continent abound - from elephant poaching and ivory trade that implicates many countries, including Zimbabwe, Sudan, DRC, Tanzania, Mozambique; to diamond mining in Zimbabwe; to the arms deal in South Africa; to rhino horn trafficking (South Africa and Mozambique); to smuggling, arms and drugs trafficking in Libya and the Sahel; to trafficking of drugs and logging in Guinea Bissau; to trafficking of ivory, gold and diamonds in the Central African Republic. The list goes on.
Shaw believes that the “protection economy” tool allows one to “cost protection economies and to measure progress against them”. According to the Global Initiative report, “consideration of the protection economy and how it operates is an analytical tool that prompts the consideration of a broader spectrum of issues and actors, and thus arguably can increase the likelihood of improved interventions.” One can increase the protection costs of engaging in organized crime by making the risk of exposure greater through dogged media investigation, for example, says Shaw, or by helping communities become more resilient to penetration by crime groups through successful development initiatives.
Investigating organized crime is easier said than done. Research by the Committee to Protect Journalists shows that 35 percent of all journalists killed since 1992 were covering organized crime and corruption, often more dangerous beats for journalists than covering conflict. Furthermore, when the “the lines between political and criminal groups are blurred in many nations” the risk for reporters goes up.
being forced to engage with the phenomenon of organized crime as they recognize the extent to which it is enmeshed in all levels of society and feeds off poor communities, subverting development agendas. In the Sahel, for example, communities rely on the proceeds of organized crime, in the same way as those in Somalia came to depend on the proceeds of piracy, or the villagers in Mozambique on the money from rhino horn poaching. Without alternatives, poor communities will continue to be the foot soldiers of organized crime. | 2019-04-26T09:47:32Z | https://www.eastafricaherald.com/2014/07/Organized-Crimes-Africa.html |

Did Philadelphia Inadvertently Step on First Amendment and VARA in Painting Over Cosby Mural?
Few things have brought consensus recently more than the revulsion over the allegations against comedian Bill Cosby, a Philadelphia native. Yet in a desire to distance itself from Cosby, the city may have crossed a First Amendment line when a well-known mural entitled “Father’s Day” that depicts Cosby was painted over. And even if the city did not run afoul of that constitutional protection, the artist of the mural may have had under the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, 17 U.S.C. § 106A (VARA) rights too. Ultimately it will come down to whether the artist or artists object to the fact or the timing of the removal—an objection that would not necessarily be any endorsement or support of Cosby (or have anything at all to do with Cosby), but which might relate more to the right of expression. | 2019-04-22T16:16:51Z | https://blog.sandw.com/artlawreport/topic/17-u-s-c-c2a7-106a |

Abstract: Selective ethanolysis of fish oil was catalyzed by immobilized lipases and their derivatives in organic media. Lipases from Candida antarctica B (CALB), Thermomyces lanuginosa (TLL) and Rhizomucor miehei (RML) were studied. The three lipases were immobilized by anion exchange and hydrophobic adsorption. The discrimination between the ethyl ester of eicosapentaenoic acid (EE-EPA) and the ethyl ester of docosahexaenoic acid (EE-DHA) depends on the lipase, the immobilization support, the physico-chemical modifications of the immobilized lipase derivatives and on the solvents used. TLL and RML were much more selective than CALB. EE-EPA is released 20-fold faster than EE-DHA when ethanolysis was catalyzed, in cyclohexane, by TLL hydrophobically adsorbed on Sepabeads C18. The selectivity and stability of the different derivatives in these polar organic solvents were further improved after physico-chemical modification. The best results for activity-selectivity-stability were obtained in cyclohexane for TLL adsorbed on Sepabeads C18 and further modified via solid-phase physical modification with a polyethylenimine polymer. In this case, the initial selectivity was higher than 20, and a 80 % of EPA was released as ethyl ester after 3 h at 25 °C. At this conversion, mixtures of ethyl esters highly enriched in the ethyl ester of EPA with less than 5 % of the EE-DHA were obtained. TLL derivatives remained fully active after incubation for 24 h in anhydrous solvents. © AOCS 2013. | 2019-04-24T01:57:04Z | https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/100284 |

Horse racing dates back as far as horses were first ridden by men. It was a celebrated event in ancient civilizations, such as Greece, Syria, Egypt and Babylon. Today, horse racing is one of the most prestigious and popular events. A single race can attract thousands of people on the stands, and millions more watching at home.
So indulge in this long-standing tradition, and place your wagers at these legendary horse races around the globe!
Every single horse race – whether it’s big or small – has a purse. A race purse refers to the amount of money that the owners will get paid at the end of each event. The division of the amount is usually based on how their horses finish.
The horse finishing in first place will typically get 60% of the total purse. The second place horse gets 20%, and the third place horse usually gets 10%, while the fourth gets 5%. The remaining horses divide the remainder of the purse among each other.
When it comes to the most prestigious horse races, the race purse can amount to millions of dollars. Here are the top ten races with the greatest race purses. These ten major racing events– and other important horse races – will be discussed further below.
There are three horse races in the United States that are particularly famous. These are the Kentucky Derby, the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness Stakes. These three races are held annually, and make up the US Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. Winning all three of these races is one of the greatest possible achievements for any Thoroughbred racehorse. Another famous race in the US is the Breeders’ Cup, one of the richest in the world.
The first leg of the US Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing is the Kentucky Derby. Every year in May, more than 150,000 go to the Churchill Downs to watch this celebrated event. The Kentucky Derby has been annually held since 1875.
The race has a distance of a 1 to 1.25 miles, and lasts no more than two minutes. Because of this, it is often referred to as the “Greatest 2 Minutes in Sports”. Once a horse crosses the finish line, this grand winner is draped in an elaborate garland made up of hundreds of red roses!
The second leg of the US Triple Crown is the Preakness Stakes, which also takes place in the month of May – just a week after the Kentucky Derby. The race takes place at the Pimlico Racecourse. Instead of a garland of roses, the winner in this race is presented a silver trophy (specifically crafted by Tiffany) and a blanket made of Black-Eyed Susans (Maryland’s state flower).
After the first two races, the last leg of the Triple Crown is the Belmont Stakes, annually held in the month of June. The Belmont Stakes is the oldest of the three races, dating back to 1867. This is the longest and most challenging race, at 1 to 1.5 miles around the track.
Secretariat is the most famous horse associated with the Triple Crown. He earned his reputation as one of the best racehorses in history when he finished the 1973 Belmont Stakes with a world record speed of 31 lengths ahead of his competition.
The Breeders Cup World Championships is an annual series of thoroughbred horse races that make up the Breeders' Cup. This event lasts for two days, and is one of the greatest purses in horse racing.
The Breeders Cup Sprint is a short race that is less than a mile long.
The Breeders Cup Distaff (which was formerly called the Breeders Cup Ladies’ Classic) is a race for mares and fillies who are at least three-years-old. The Breeders Cup Distaff is one of the most prominent races in the world among female horses.
The Breeders Cup Turf is a US$3 million race that is held on a turf, instead of the usual dirt track. This means that the horses compete on a grass surface. The track is 1.5 miles long.
The main event of the series is the Breeders Cup Classic. It is extremely exclusive, since five of the fourteen slots in this race is guaranteed to the winners of other popular races, including the Jockey Club Gold Cup, Pacific Classic, and Awesome Again Stakes.
Horse racing is a sport that is celebrated all over the world, but there’s nothing quite like racing in UK and Ireland. There are thousands of races that take place in the UK and Ireland every year. There are a handful of these races that attract an especially high level of attention, and some of these are more than 200 years old.
The Grand National is the most important National Hunt race in the UK, and is the most valuable jump race in Europe. It was first held in 1839 and is now annually held at Aintree in Liverpool.
The Grand National attracts huge audiences in countries all over the globe. The race is around four miles and three furlongs in length. It can take around ten minutes for some horses to finish. It’s a long and challenging course involving hurdles that are larger than regular fences.
There are five prestigious flat races in the UK that are collectively called “The British Classics”. Race horses only have one chance in their lifetime to compete at the Classics, because all five races are restricted to three-year-olds only.
The 2,000 Guineas Stakes, the Epsom Derby and the St. Leger Stakes make up the English Triple Crown. The English Triple Crown is a great feat for any horse, and it has not been won since the 1970s.
The 2,000 Guineas Stakes has a history that goes back more than 200 years. It is annually run in late April or early May, not long after the flat season has started. The St. Leger Stakes is one of the oldest horse races in the world, and it takes place annually at the Doncaster Racecourse in England.
Just like the English Triple Crown, the Irish Triple Crown is made up of three races: the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the Irish Derby, and the Irish St. Leger. These three races have large prize pools. All of the three races are run in the Curragh Racecourse in County Kildare.
Only two horses have won the Irish Triple Crown. The last one won back in 1945.
The Irish Grand National began in 1870, and takes place annually at Fairyhouse Racecourse on Easter Monday. In this competition, horses run over a distance of three miles and five furlongs, with a total of 24 fences.
Australia holds a number of huge horse races every year. The most popular one is the Melbourne Cup, which is called the “race that stops a nation” in Australia. The Melbourne Cup receives international attention, and has one of the biggest prize pool in Thoroughbred Racing. Other important races are the Australian Derby and the Australian Cup.
The Melbourne Cup is a tradition that dates back to 1861. It is widely considered as the greatest 3,200-meter horse race in the world. If you are going for the first time, you will see that the attendees usually come in customary hats. There is even a competition called “Fashions on the Field”, which celebrates the best-dressed men and women, with celebrity judges and high-end sponsors. According to the horse racing events calendar, the big event is held on the first Tuesday in November, and the other races are spread out over the week.
Dubai World Cup Night was first launched in 1996, and hosts the richest race purse in world wide horse racing events. The Dubai World Cup – the main event of the series – holds a first place prize of US$10 million. Another popular race in the series is the Dubai Duty Free Stakes. The name comes from its sponsor, Dubai Duty Free. All of the races in Dubai World Cup Night have a combined purse total of US$27.25 million. You can watch the races from the swanky grandstand, or in one of the rooms at the track-side hotel.
The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, commonly known as the Arc, is one of Europe’s biggest events held at the Longchamp Racecourse in Paris. Thousands of elegant spectators fill the grandstand of the racecourse on the first Sunday of October. It has been held almost every year since 1920. Today, it has one of the biggest race purses in the world, thanks to the sponsorship of Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club. You can go to the racecourse early to enjoy the champagne and live jazz music. There are also pony rides available for kids to enjoy. | 2019-04-21T18:59:30Z | https://www.hityah.com/racing/horse/events |
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Relatives of a man fatally shot by an Indiana State trooper are demanding answers after police said there was no body or dash camera video of what led up to last week’s shooting along a western Indiana highway.
The cruiser driven by the trooper who shot 56-year-old Glenn A. Rightsell of Linden didn’t have a dash camera, as some of the agency’s cruisers do, and Indiana state troopers aren’t equipped with body cameras, Sgt. Kim Riley said Monday.
Police have said the trooper fatally shot Rightsell on the night of Dec. 28 after he failed to follow his orders and allegedly grabbed a handgun on his own waist. Rightsell died later at a hospital.
Police said that three hours before the shooting, the trooper had tagged an abandoned sport utility vehicle along U.S. 231 in a rural area of Montgomery County just north of Crawfordsville, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis. The shooting occurred when the trooper returned, noticed a car parked in front of the SUV, which had its hood up, and stopped to investigate.
Rightsell’s nephew, Matt Clark, said his uncle was working on his daughter’s stalled Chevy Tahoe and that he always carried a gun on his belt.
“Body and dash cams protect everyone ... from injustices,” he told the Journal & Courier .
Clark said Rightsell had called police ahead of time, asking them not to tow the vehicle until he had a chance to work on it. Riley said police were looking for a record of that call.
Relatives and friends held a vigil Sunday in Crawfordsville for Rightsell, who was the owner of a masonry and tuck-pointing business in Linden, a rural Montgomery County town.
Mark Talbott, a Lafayette carpenter, said he’s “furious” over his friend’s killing and said he doesn’t believe the state police account of the shooting.
“I’m of the opinion that everything they stated was not true, and meant to do nothing but protect the officers in question,” he said.
Police have not released the name of the officer, who has been placed on administrative leave.
Riley said that once the shooting investigation is complete, the findings will be turned over to the county prosecutor, who would decide whether charges are warranted.
Police have not said how many shots the trooper fired or what verbal commands he gave Rightsell. The state police account also did not say whether Rightsell drew his gun or fired any shots.
Ken Steen, who lives across from the shooting scene, filmed video of the shooting aftermath. That footage appears to show officers telling Rightsell to come to them on his knees, with his hands over his head, before he’s handcuffed and they walk him from the scene.
Steen said he didn’t know Rightsell had been shot until the following day.
“I’m willing to admit I don’t know what happened, yet. My concern is that we never will,” he said. | 2019-04-25T14:50:26Z | https://www.theindychannel.com/news/montgomery-county/indiana-state-police-no-police-video-of-mans-killing-by-trooper |
Oooo nooo … only 12,783,666 seconds to go … thereabouts. Dug in the bunker last Saturday, 24 cans of baked beans stashed, tray of Tui, couple of candles. Not even. Just got back from Raglan actually. Bit of time with the extended whānau and a spot of daredevil 4wd action in the Waikato. Another tick for the bucket list. Good times in pre-apocalyptic Aotearoa.
Last week in Bleat#1 I plugged the launch of Flaxpod’s new website. If you haven’t been there yet you should. And just in case you were wondering where the exceptional copywriting came from … It was. Of course. Written with love by Ed. And today I’m going to tell you a bit about this project. Yep, shameless promotion I know.
The central tenet of Flaxpod’s website writing brief was to make it an enjoyable read with Kiwi idioms and a fair bit of slapstick humour. Too often websites’ written content comes second behind design, functionality and other rich content. A site may look stunning and behave beautifully but if the writing’s a bit shabby then it’s a job half done. Using the right words in an engaging and persuasive way (that’s copywriting) helps determine how well your site ranks in search engines, and increases the chances of converting visits into sales.
Flaxpod’s new site also kicked off with a couple of decent blog posts. The crux of the articles were supplied before Ed whipped them into shape. The brief revolves around pulling readers into the site with entertaining and informing article teasers via EDM, then funneling them through the site before ultimately presenting them with a call-to-action aimed at converting their visit into a lead.
With the case studies the brief went along the lines of, “Hey Steff, here’s some client contacts and here’s their numbers. Can ya sort some case studies for us?” Yes of course I can, when do I start? “Now.” I visited the six sites, read all about the clients, customised a set of interview questions for each about their experience working with Flaxpod, then made the calls. After a 15-20 minute chat the studies were written up, sub-edited and proofed, then loaded on to the site for publishing. Sorted.
In the week or so since the Flaxpod site went live, traffic into and around the site has been tsunami-like. What’s more, a good number of these visits have turned into solid leads with strong potential for new projects that’ll hopefully align themselves before the end of the world. And I reckon maybe, just maybe, Ed’s copywriting had something to do with that.

Last Sunday was my first race of 2018. Wasn’t super well-prepared, nor really bad prepared. But it’s January, it can be chilly, wich can be difficult for my asthma lungs. On Thursday before the race felt pain in my right knee, during my last run. So I was not sure what to expect on Sunday. It made me quite nervous and insecure.
We drove to Egmond at sea a small town at the North Sea. For a job I stayed in a hotel for a while in 2016, so I knew the running grounds, it is beautiful to run out there. Never a dull moment. Beach, dunes, nature reserve with a lot of small animals. If you’re lucky you can spot a fox or a pheasant at sunrise or sundown. You must understand I was pretty stoked to run here again.
With a wind from the east it felt more chilly than the predicted 3 degrees Celsius. Luckily no rain, so no complaining here. We were running (no pun intended) a bit late. So our group already started when we finally arrived at the starting line.
First I had a nasty dry throat cough, but the lungs and the legs felt nice and strong. I was happy and excited! Yes, let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s gooooo!
Because I did want to get that stupid medal, I decided to walk the rest of the 6 kilometres. I was so angry, felt so sad and disappointed. Finally it felt good and strong and then this happens! Why? I might have shed a little tear along the way to the finish line. And people were cheering me on and I had to say I injured my knee, that I couldn’t run anymore. I felt like a failure. I couldn’t enjoy the crowd or nature or the anything. I got really cold, I did sweat a little during the short run and walking the rest of the race made me a frozen popsicle. I just was done with it!
So this was my personal best on my slowest 10k. Of course I thought of this later. At the moment I was too pissed off to think about something funny at all. But a personal best is a personal best!
And I realized it better be happening now than right before my half marathon. I’d better make some plans to make all my weak running muscles strong and do all the accessory work. I was being really lazy with that. So you might say I had it coming and this was the warning. Maybe I should listen this time.
Nine days have passed since then. Too afraid to take a test run. But I will try within a few days. My physical therapist told to a take rest from running for a week. But with zero motivation it’s already been nine days. I did do some cycling and swimming. Yes my first swimming course . I will keep you updated on the knee thing and also about my first swimming lesson! | 2019-04-20T18:38:21Z | https://nataliazen.com/2018/01/23/bit-of-a-knee-down/?shared=email&msg=fail |

Abstract: This study attempts to examine empirically aggregate tourism outflows in the case of Turkey using the time series data for the period 1970-2005. As far as this article is concerned, there exists no previous empirical work dealing with the tourist outflows from Turkey. The previous tourism studies in the case of Turkey, by and large, focus on the inbound tourism demand analyses. As a developing country and an important tourism destination, Turkey has also been a significant source for generating a substantial number of tourists in recent years. Therefore, the tourist outflows from Turkey deserve to be analysed empirically too. The total tourist outflows from Turkey are related to real income and relative prices. The bounds testing to cointegration procedure proposed by Pesaran et al. (2001) is employed to compute the short and long-run elasticities of income and relative prices. An augmented form of Granger causality analysis is conducted amongst the variables of outbound tourist flows, income and relative prices to determine the direction of causality. In the long-run, causality runs interactively through the error correction term from income and relative prices to outbound tourist flows. However, in the short-run, causality runs only from income to outbound tourism flows. The aggregate tourism outflows equation is also checked for the parameter stability via the tests of cumulative sum (CUSUM) and cumulative sum of the squares (CUSUMSQ). The empirical results suggest that income is the most significant variable in explaining the total tourist outflows from Turkey and there exists a stable outbound tourism demand function. The results also provide important policy recommendations. | 2019-04-18T14:21:53Z | https://econpapers.repec.org/paper/pramprapa/6765.htm |
Cardiology provides both inpatient and outpatient services for patients with a range of cardiac conditions, including patients with suspected or confirmed coronary heart disease, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias. Coronary angiography, pacing, device implantation and cardiac MRI are provided on both hospital sites.
In recent years the service has been successful in meeting the targets for thrombolysis, rapid access chest pain clinics and angiography. We are now faced with new challenges and are working in partnership with primary care developing care pathways for patients with chronic heart conditions, and with the tertiary centre and ambulance services towards the introduction of primary angioplasty. Cardiology practice is changing rapidly and the clinical teams are reviewing new ways of working to improve the patient experience and meet the standards.
The Trust works closely with the local PCTs through cardiology strategic & clinical networks towards meeting the standards of the CHD NSF and NICE guidelines. The Network includes representation from patient groups and the local council. In partnership with the West Yorkshire Cardiac Network, the local cardiac network strives to improve standards and outcome for patients throughout the Region.
Tertiary care includes coronary revascularisation with coronary artery bypass surgery or coronary angioplasty, valve surgery, complex arrhythmia management such as electrical physiology studies and ablation, and cardiac transplantation. Most of this activity takes place at Leeds Acute Hospital Trust. Heart Transplantation is rare, and where indicated patients are referred to one of several centres.
A comprehensive service is situated on both hospital sites: Calderdale Royal Hospital – coronary care unit and ward 6C (cardiology ward) are situated on the first floor. Access can be via the main reception area, or adjacent to the A & E entrance accessible from Godfrey Road. Outpatient clinics are situated in the outpatient department, once again accessible from Godfrey Road, but adjacent to the maternity unit. An angiography suite for day case patients is situated on the first floor. Huddersfield Royal Infirmary – The Huddersfield heart unit is situated on the second floor, Ward Block 1. Access to the area can be via the main or south drive entrances. It comprises a 13-bedded cardiology ward and an 8 bedded coronary care unit. A medical day case unit is also currently situated in the area where both cardiology and general medical patients are managed. Outpatient clinics are held in the outpatient department on ground floor, adjacent to the café bar. Rapid access chest pain clinics also take place in the cardio-respiratory department on both hospital sites.
The team comprises of 5 cardiologists, a number of other cardiology medical staff, a team of ward and CCU nurses, specialist nurses, angiography/ day case nurses, a cardiology services manager, a team of cardiology physiologists. The team also work in close partnership with the cardiac rehabilitation team. | 2019-04-19T19:00:35Z | https://www.cht.nhs.uk/services/clinical-services/cardiology/ |
Rashad Jennings battled life-threatening asthma as a child and recovered to achieve his dream of playing professional football. Deep inside, he still thinks of himself as a child with asthma. So the New York Giants running back is pairing with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America to motivate children who, like him, do their best to stay healthy in the face of this chronic illness.
Rashad Jennings wasn’t always the successful athlete that he is today. Growing up, Rashad was a short, overweight kid with asthma who could only dream of playing professional football.
"When I get a chance to talk to kids who have asthma, when I get to hear how they're dealing with it, I'm really there with them because I understand what it feelsl like not to be able to breathe."
Emmanuel and his family know staying on top of asthma and preventing flare-ups keeps you in the game – in Emmanuel’s case, 1st base, his favorite position. Asthma makes baseball a challenge. “I can’t run for a long time like the other kids,” he says.
As Matthew reaches his teen years, his asthma seems to be getting worse. In addition, a recent asthma attack led to anxiety. Matthew channels the negative energy stirred up by the anxiety into positive thoughts, which is motivating him towards a hockey trophy.
Grace plays lacrosse, soccer, tennis and golf, and even ran a 5K race when she was eight. She remembers when she first understood what it means to have asthma.
Now Grace finds that using her inhaler before the game makes a big difference for her.
Seth’s first asthma attack happened in school, during a run. “My chest was getting tight and it was hard for me to breathe,” says the now 11-year-old, who also has life-threatening allergies to multiple foods. Fortunately, the school nurse was ready and had quick-relief medicine on hand.

I am the first to admit that I am not a marketing guru. In fact, up til last July, I was perfectly content to be completely unknown. But then I published my first book, the necessity of self-promotion became apparent. Obviously, people can’t buy my books without knowing those books exist. Thus began my crash course in marketing.
During my final free days with Amazon for my first book, Solomon’s Throne, I placed ads with Bargain Ebook Hunter and Pixelscroll. I paid for featured ads of one day each. I also did an ad with FreeBooksy. I had done the first two before, and had pretty decent free days, but I’d never done FreeBooksy before. That’s important, because it seems to be the only thing that was different than any other free day promotion. But I had almost four times the downloads! 7909 in TWO days. For some genres that would be considered low, but for action adventure, which is a teeny tiny piece of the genre pie, it was huge. Obviously, I have elevated FreeBooksy to the top tier of advertising. But that’s for FREE books… Which doesn’t actually make me any money, right?
The weekend I was traveling to Uganda, starting 2/16 and going through 2/17 or early 2/18, I sold over 125 copies of Solomon’s Throne. I normally sell an average of 20 a day — sometimes 16, sometimes 25, but I average 20 of that book right now. Sales are climbing, but slowly, 5-10% a month. So what happened in the middle of February? I have no idea! I had done the Kindle Book Review HOT DEAL the two days following my free days (those had been 2/12 and 2/13). But that ended Friday. I had virtually no sales, no even my normal 20, during those two days. But then, over the weekend, it exploded and kept going, although not to that big an extent all month. That made February my biggest month to date, beating December by over 10%. But why?
You see the quandary. I will probably try the Kindle Book Review again soon with IXEOS under their HOT NEW RELEASE package and see what happens. If those sales had happened while that ad was running, I’d say that was surely the catalyst… But they didn’t, so it’s not cut and dried. At $40 a pop, it’s not a lot for a big boost in sales… But it is a lot if that had nothing to do with it. And at this point, I honestly don’t know.
I’ll let you know how it goes. Obviously, by layering all these things for the launch, I won’t be able to pinpoint any one venue as the most helpful, unless one particular day just goes crazy. But I think layering for a new launch to get exposure is a good approach, one I couldn’t afford when I launched my other books. (I launched three books in four months!) Especially since I make things hard on myself by switching genres all the time, I am having to continually reach new readers — basically start over.
If you have any tips, please let me know! And stay tuned for the continuing saga… Will we unravel the mystery, or only become more deeply mired? That is the question! | 2019-04-20T20:39:40Z | https://jenningswright.wordpress.com/tag/advertising/ |
Description of Course: To this point, the mathematical education of students has been primarily one dimensional. Prior to delving to nonlinear vector-valued functions in several variables, linear algebra provides a study of linear vector valued functions in several variables, which are more algebraically rich and easier to study. Since the linear transformations studied will be primarily over the real numbers, students will find the graphs and introduction to the concept of kernel, image and coset somewhat easier to digest than if they studied group theory. Linear algebra will also prepare students for differential equations, a course they may study later, as differential operators are linear transformations. | 2019-04-23T02:11:31Z | http://www.baileyworldofmath.org/linearalgebra.html |
So, back in the 90’s I was listening to this tape by some girl called Kristin Hersh. This tape was lent to me by a cool indie girl, who was constantly eating jelly babies and wearing Raccoons t shirts. Anyway, this tape was full of sad songs about being haunted by a nasty break-up, quite sweet but a little too acoustic for me, like a first love falling apart, and at 15 I didn’t have time for sad songs, I’d swap over pretty quick to my jesus and marychain tapes.
I’m so happy it’s the julie ruin, and this was almost my album of the year. I’ve written so much about Kathleen Hanna there’s little more to say, so here is the single. She still has the coolest voice around. The album, hit reset, which strangely enough I bought on cassette, has so many amazing songs on, I think it’s one of her best albums to date. | 2019-04-20T20:35:20Z | https://wordsandguitars.com/tag/cassettes/ |
Many new homebuyers make the mistake of rushing out to buy new things for their home as soon as the seller says "yes" and the loan is approved. There still remain a few major hurdles to jump before your loan closes. Here are some things to stay clear of before closing to assure your transaction goes well.
Don't buy big-ticket items. Although you will be planning ways to turn your new house into a showplace, try to stay away from major purchases like appliances, electronics, or expensive furnishings. You will also want to keep away from vacations and car purchases until your loan closes. Your credit numbers could be altered suddenly if you purchase new furniture using credit cards. It's even a mistake to make those huge purchases using cash. Lenders are examining your available cash when considering your loan.
Don't look for a new job. Your recent work history should show consistency. Finding a new career (especially one with a bump in salary) may not jeopardize your ability to qualify for your loan. But for some people, changing jobs during the loan approval process might bring concern and stymie your approval.
Don't move cash around or change banks. Your lender will require you to produce recent bank statements of your accounts: checking, savings, money market, and other liquid assets. To detect potential fraud, most lenders require thorough paperwork to determine the source of all incoming funds. Even for innocent purposes, moving around cash or changing banks might make it harder for the lender to document your account history.
Don't give a "good faith" deposit directly to the seller in a FSBO (for sale by owner) purchase. As a rule, your good faith deposit belongs to you, not the seller until the deal closes. Although your seller might not know this, any good faith money should be applied to the buyer's closing expenses. An attorney or other type of neutral party can hang onto your funds, or you may place them temporarily into a trust account until you close. If your sale falls through, the purchase agreement should specify where your good faith funds should go.

Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was the bands second studio album. It was their first album release on Reprise Records that was commercially available. There were four singles released from the album, Thank You for the Venom, I’m Not Okay (I Promise), Helena and The Ghost of You.
Revenge is really the band. Bullets is the band trying to find itself, by the time we hit revenge we had really become My Chemical Romance.
The album concept was originally based around the two “Demolition Lovers” who featured in the previous album, I Brought You My Bullets, Your Brought Me Your Love, however, due to personal difficulties at the time of production, the album ended up being more about loss, more specifically, the loss of Gerard and Mikey’s grandmother Elena Lee Rush.
The concept for the record Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, was the story of a man and a woman who are separated by death in a gunfight and he goes to hell only to realize by the devil telling him that she’s still alive. The devil says you can be with here again if you bring me the souls of a thousand evil men and so he hands him and a gun and he says I’ll go do it. That was the idea behind the concept, the record ended up being much more about loss and real life than anything, so I would say it’s a good split.
In the end, listening to the record, I was like, ‘Wow this record is really about loss’. It took me a couple of listens to really get the scope of the record and realize that it was really that blatantly about loss and death throughout almost every song. But I think death is something that we’ll always write about because it’s… tragic, negative and beautiful at the same time. It’s very beautiful and it can be a very positive thing. It comes up very frequently on the record, to the point where people have asked me how the story ends. I’m kind of like, ‘What do you think? Do you think the guy gets what he wants?’.
I was like, ‘I think I could run with this ‘Demolition Lovers’ thing’. I just felt like there needed to be this tragic, romantic, violent aspect going on in there. So I kind of married two subjects, love and revenge, and just added a slight supernatural element to that and was able to come up with basically what I think is a good metaphor for how this band operates and how we live our lives and how we feel you should live your life.
Lyrically we wanted to take music to a place that it hadn’t been in a long time, which was to tell stories and use kind of these sweeping meatphors instead of just, ‘You broke my heart’.
The album also deals with many other issues and emotions such as homosexuality, rejection, pain, fear and hope.
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge was the bands first recording since their switch to Reprise Records. The record company spent a considerable amount of money on the recording process which was an initial shock to the band since the recording of their debut album, which had been recorded in a friends basement.
You know, we has this phase called ‘Pre-production’.
When we made Revenge it was a completely different ball game. It was different. You showed up to this big studio, you know?, there was a lot of money and like crazy equipment, they had microphones that cost more than your first car.
The album was to be produced by Howard Benson, who is most notable for his work on four Motörhead records, which was what interested the band in working with him.
He had made four Motörhead records, and that’s what got us interested about him. What also got us interested about him was the fact that he contacted us, and that’s like how we like to work.
It was our record release show, and it was sold out and I remember there was like, something like 2500 people there and just like seeing that many people just moving in unison or singing along, it was overwhelming.
The record company and manager, Brian Schechter had agreed that if they could sell 300,000 copies they would be happy. To date, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge has sold over 1 million copies in the United States and has been certified platinum by the RIAA. It received a Platinum sales certification in the UK, Double Platinum in Canada and Gold in Ireland. In its best week, the album sold 38,000 copies. The record sold more than the debut, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, but was outsold by the bands third album, The Black Parade.
The funniest thing about Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge is that the label and I had agreed that if we could sell 300,000 copies we would be happy, and then you know, the first week of sales I had predicted 3000 and we had no idea what was gonna happen, in the very first day we kept getting phone calls about how great things were going and I think right about then is when we realized something weird was going to happen. The fact that the very first day had sold twice as many as the previous record had sold in it’s whole lifespan at that point, I think we realized that something big was about to happen. You know, they just continued working through the summer and then it was just a flood of good news, they sold like 120,000 records through that summer.
A vinyl version of the album was released on December 16th 2008 and was only available through the bands official website store. The limited edition vinyl piece featured one red colored vinyl disc in a custom jacket with Gerard’s hand written lyric sheet of the song ‘Helena,’ a die-cut ‘dueling guns’ stencil insert featuring the old My Chemical Romance logo, and a sticker insert. The custom jacket states ‘REVENGE’ on the cover. | 2019-04-22T00:39:35Z | https://drinkingsouls.com/music/three-cheers-for-sweet-revenge/ |

Page crashes on element inspect.
Hi ! Since latest update(s) opera crashes very often whenever i try to inspect an element .
While the [developer tools] continue to function but the page crashes.
and another possible cause could be the page has HTML tags errors (and maybe JS/CSS errors too ?).
I tried to replicate the problem with web pages such gmail, etc, but there was no page crash.
Since the page I am working with it's not available to the public i can not provide you with a link - but i am sure the operacrash report is sending automated reports.

Sustainability practices such as municipal solid waste management have the potential to improve behavior of incarcerated individuals who participate, decrease correctional institution operating costs, and reduce negative environmental impacts. The first objective was to assess behavioral implications of participation in a municipal solid waste management program guided by participatory learning. The second objective was to identify the most efficient arrangement of composting practices to the correctional institution. There was a significant difference between the number of misconduct violations before and after participation of participants who completed the program, a 52.5% reduction in misconduct violations, and a 47.6% reduction in their severity. There was no significant difference between the number of misconduct violations before and after participation of individuals who did not complete the program. However, there was a 23.5% reduction in misconduct violations and a 34.1% reduction in their severity. Data from the composting practices were not obtained or analyzed. | 2019-04-20T22:12:52Z | https://centralspace.ucmo.edu/handle/123456789/481 |
WITH very little rain predicted across the region for the rest of this year, Brangayne of Orange wines owner David Hoskins is among the vignerons bracing themselves for a hard season ahead.
The widespread drought has had a large impact on the region’s agriculture and economy, and the Bureau of Meteorology has predicted a warm, dry spring.
The region’s wineries may just be kicking off their new season, but vignerons are already worried about the drought and what impacts it will have on the coming vintage.
Mr Hoskins said the weather had been extremely dry at his vineyard with very little autumn rain, followed by the driest July he could remember for years.
While the lack of autumn rain helped during harvest, he said the dry times had been a concern ever since.
“The long-term forecast for rain is not good so we’re bracing ourselves for a pretty hard season,” Mr Hoskins said.
Orange did, however, receive 40 millimetres of rain last Friday and Saturday.
“We really needed that soil moisture there as we start spring, but we need follow up moisture,” Mr Hoskins said.
In Young, Ballinaclash Wines owner Peter Mullany said it was “an anxious wait and see” for the season ahead.
DRY TIMES: Ballinaclash Wines owners Cath and Peter Mullany in their vineyard in Young.
While the winery has received regular rainfalls of 5-6mms during winter, it is far from enough for a good growing season.
“We’ve got irrigation from local ground water, but if it doesn’t rain it’ll be a concern, it’s as simple as that,” Mr Mullany said.
“The irrigation is good and it’ll keep them [the vines] alive, but it’s not as good as rain.
In Mudgee, Logan Wines owner Peter Logan said buds on his vines were yet to burst so there were a lot of unknowns.
“It’s the driest lead-in into a season we’ve ever had,” he said.
In the past three weeks, however, the winery has received 62mm of rain.
“That put some moisture into the soil which is good because, we’re about to get bud bursts,” Mr Logan said.
While Ruth Anderson, who owns 3 Views Vineyard in Bathurst, said the drought has had a significant impact.
“We’re pumping from the vineyard dame to keep the sheep alive,” she said.
Mrs Anderson said, however, that a lack of rain for some time during the grape growing period was useful.
“Until they [grapes] get to a certain stage it doesn’t matter if they’re a bit dry,” she said.
From late August until now, around 50 millimetres of rain has fallen on her winery and while Mrs Anderson said that was the most that has fallen in some months, more was needed.
“It’ll depend on what the weather does as to whether it’ll have an impact on the grapes,” she said.
In Oberon, Bellbrook Friends Winery owner and winemaker George Clark said while his vineyard does have an irrigation system, the drought has still had and impact.
“It reduced the biodiversity. We’ve noticed that insects, frogs and spiders have gone into hiding,” he said. | 2019-04-21T16:27:58Z | https://www.oberonreview.com.au/story/5643281/vignerons-are-bracing-themselves-for-a-hard-season-in-the-drought/?cs=1495 |
As already it had agreed, I decided not to hesitate, I went up to the crupper and I leave. The doctor ran as if he desired to transpose some record of motociclismo. In one curve badly made almost we were abated for a vehicle that came in contrary direction, when in the next curve we do not escape. When deviating from one another vehicle, after losing again the control of the motorcycle, hurled it to the doctor in direction to a precipice. Funny as at this moment, the fall seems so slow and the images appear as a great river receiving its tributaries, I only obtained to think about surviving, it made what me to support in the body of the irresponsible conductor, so that as the impact, served to amortize the impact of my body, that already imagined changed back in way to the rochedos and all luck of obstacles that it saw to appear in that precipice. occurred as I foresaw, the doctor body cushioned and the fall seemed not to have been so ominous how much imagivana I, suffered only mere escoreaes, that had made nor me to lose the conscience. Passed the episode, with all that upheaval of curious to the edge of the road, then after the rescue and after that the transport of the medical cadavrico, that now was worthy of an analysis of those trainees just-fond of the college of Medicine. In return to the city, it came me the relief to have in such a way obtained to survive in way to the risk of death eminent, how much at the same time, the remorse for at that critical moment, to only have thought about my welfare, what it cost the destroamento of that body, a doctor of long ago. It came across now me ahead of another quandary, to go to announce the tragedy to familiar of the doctor and the doubt if would have to say or not I used that it as shield. | 2019-04-24T06:16:57Z | http://www.fergusmayhew.com/medicine/ |

The effective schools literature has shown that school-contextual aspects matter for students’ academic and social outcomes. A potential link here may be the quality of the relationships between teachers and students, but few studies have investigated whether features of school effectiveness are in fact associated with students’ perceptions of teacher caring, which is the main purpose of this study. Based on recently collected data from 150 senior-level school units in Stockholm, school effectiveness in terms of teacher-assessed ‘school leadership’, ‘teacher cooperation and consensus’, and ‘school ethos’ (n = 2073) was analyzed in relation to perceived teacher caring as reported by students (n = 8022). Two-level linear regression analyses showed that all three aspects of school effectiveness were predictive of higher levels of perceived teacher caring among students. The findings suggest that these features of school effectiveness constitute an important foundation for promoting the quality of teachers’ relationships with their students. | 2019-04-22T09:03:05Z | http://su.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1191579&c=48&searchType=SIMPLE&language=en&query=&af=%5B%5D&aq=%5B%5B%7B%22personId%22%3A%22bmodin%22%7D%5D%5D&aq2=%5B%5B%5D%5D&aqe=%5B%5D&noOfRows=50&sortOrder=author_sort_asc&sortOrder2=title_sort_asc&onlyFullText=false&sf=all |
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is federal legislation prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities. One of the overriding principles of the ADA is to ensure that all people have equal access to public transportation. In order to ensure access, public transit vehicles, and facilities are required to be fully accessible and usable by persons with disabilities. For people who are unable, due to a physical or mental disability (including mobility or cognitive impairments) to independently use the public fixed-route transportation (DART), paratransit services must be made available.
The completed application can also be sent by fax to (661) 721-2590. The questions on this form are designed to provide assistance in determining your eligibility for paratransit service.
As an added service, seniors age 61 or older or Medicare cardholders are also eligible to use Delano Area Dial-A-Ride within the 0.75 mile boundary of a DART fixed route. Please complete the appropriate portions of the application and return it to the above address.
Your completed application will be reviewed and a decision regarding your eligibility for paratransit service will be made within 21 days. You may be found eligible for paratransit services for your travel needs, or you may be found capable of using the DART fixed-route system.
If you disagree with the decision made regarding your eligibility status, you may appeal the decision. It is possible that upon review of your application, you may be asked to provide additional information. All information requested throughout the certification process will be kept confidential.
Not everyone with a disability can ride Delano Area Dial-A-Ride because that is not the intent of the ADA. Paratransit service is intended to function as a transportation safety net for individuals with cognitive or physical disabilities whose impairment prevents the use of the DART fixed route system. The ADA stresses the importance of persons with disabilities having the opportunity, encouragement, and/or training to use fixed-route transportation (DART) as a means to integrate more fully into society.
If you have any questions about the Delano Area Dial-A-Ride application process, or the Delano Area Dial-A-Ride in general, please call (661) 721-3333 - TDD/TTY: 711 through the California Relay Service.
A large print, braille, and cassette version of this application is available by calling (661) 721-2602 - TDD/TTY: 711 through the California Relay Service.
There are three categories of eligibility when filling out this application. Choose only one. Priority service is given to those who meet ADA eligibility requirements. All others ride Delano Area Dial-A-Ride on a space-available basis.
All applicants must fill out step 1 of the application.
Age: Are you 61 or older? Then check step 2, section A only, and attach verification of your birth date.
Non-ADA Person with Disability: Do you have a disability which makes using Delano Area Rapid Transit (DART) difficult, but not impossible? Then check step 2, section B only.
Explain your disability on the reverse side of the application and have your physician, or authorized human service agency representative listed in step 3 sign the application at the bottom of page 4.
ADA Eligible: Do you have a disability which makes using DART impossible? Then check step 2, section C and select criteria C-1 or C-2, whichever applies to your situation.
Have your physician, or authorized human service agency representative explain your disability by completing step 4 of the application.
Complete the supplemental questionnaire on page 4. The information provided in the supplemental questionnaire will not be used to determine your eligibility. This information is to assist the Delano Area Dial-A-Ride staff in meeting any special needs or service requirements you may have.
To expedite processing the completed application and questionnaire can be faxed to Delano Area Dial-A-Ride at (661) 721-3333. It is important that you complete all applicable portions of this application-type or print please. Applications that are not complete or clearly written will be returned, which will delay the eligibility determination process.
If you are certified eligible for paratransit service, you will receive your Dial-A-Ride Eligibility Card and a Delano Area Dial-A-Ride Rider’s Guide within 21 days. If you are denied ADA eligibility, you may appeal the decision to the City of Delano Transportation Services Manager by calling (661) 721-2602.
If you have any questions about the Dial-A-Ride application process, please call 661-721-2602.
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) states that a city, which has a fixed-route bus system, like DART, must also operate a paratransit system (Dial-A-Ride) for those persons not able to use the regular buses.
Is the applicant functionally able to ride the regular dart bus system and are they able to get to and from a bus stop?
Many people with either cognitive or physical disabilities are able to ride DART. Many agencies will help to travel train their clients on how to ride the regular bus system. All buses in the DART system meet ADA accessibility standards.
However, if a person with a disability cannot independently board, ride, or disembark from the regular DART bus, they are eligible to ride Delano Area Dial-A-Ride under ADA guidelines (C-1).
A second category (C-3) of eligibility includes individuals who have specific impairment-related conditions that prevents them from getting to or from a bus stop.
A third category (C-2) of eligibility includes individuals who have specific impairment-related conditions that prevents them from getting to or from a bus stop or on or off a bus that is not yet accessible.
If the person meets one of the two criteria listed above, they are eligible under ADA, and thus, section C should be marked appropriately on the application form. If a person does not meet these criteria, they must be eligible under Section B; non-ADA disabled, on the application. Please mark one section only.
For more information or questions, please contact the City of Delano Transportation Services Manager at (661) 721-3333.
Applicants who are denied eligibility will be notified in writing within 21 days of completion of their eligibility certification evaluation. Applicants have 60 days from the date of written denial to request an appeal. An administrative review and in-person functional assessment may be conducted for each appeal by the third party not affiliated with the eligibility certification team. Appeal decisions will be final. | 2019-04-24T06:02:35Z | https://www.cityofdelano.org/297/Delano-Area-Dial-A-Ride-Certification-In |
A minor fender bender can be stressful to deal with, but that stress pales in comparison to what you may go through after being involved in a serious car accident. A serious injury accident can cause pain and suffering, psychological trauma, financial issues and more. More than that, it may take many long weeks or even months to recover from the incident. These tips will help you to navigate through the healing and recovery process.
Some people may be inclined to get back to normal before their body or mind is ready to do so. While it can be frustrating for some people to take it easy and to skip work when they feel even moderately able to return, getting back to a normal routine before you are fully ready can be detrimental. Seek physical and psychological care as needed, and follow all doctor recommendations to hasten a full recovery.
In many cases, you may have to file a claim with another person’s insurance company or with your own car insurance company. This may be to receive compensation for medical bills, vehicle repairs and more. In addition, you may also need to file claims against your own health insurance policy.
It is important that you devote ample time to working with these companies so that the claims can be processed as quickly as possible. In the event that you do not feel as though your claim is not being handled properly, a lawyer form a firm like Alexander Law Group may be able to assist you.
Documenting all relevant expenses is important for multiple reasons. For example, you need documentation in order to file claims. You also need documentation in the event you need to file a personal injury lawsuit. Keep all receipts and invoices, and obtain copies of your medical records as needed.
If someone else causes the accident, their insurance company should pay for your related expenses. If expenses exceed their insurance coverage limits, they should come out of pocket to pay for any additional expenses that you incur.

This was a multi-stage, mixed methods study exploring the end of treatment experience from the perspective of young people and the healthcare professionals providing care, incorporating co-design to develop the standards and recommendations that can inform future practice and research. The study was conducted from January 2018 to December 2018, over four phases (Figure 1).
The review highlighted that young people were under-prepared for the unpredictable and ongoing nature of the physical, psychological and social issues faced at the end of treatment. Enabling inclusion within their relevant social and educational peer networks needed to be prioritised during treatment to help young people prepare/cope at the end of treatment. Timely, structured and equitable information and support was needed to prepare for treatment ending and subsequent reintegration to “everyday” life.
This review is now published. To read the full, open-access paper, please visit this link.
Final data analysis and synthesis is currently taking place on data collected in phases 2, 3 & 4, and findings will be published in Spring 2019. Please do come back to find out more. | 2019-04-22T09:59:34Z | http://www.brightlightstudy.com/our-research/end-of-treatment-study-information-and-support-needs-of-young-people-with-cancer-at-the-end-of-active-treatment/ |

More boys basketball was on KFIL Monday night. Spring Grove took on Fillmore Central, winning by a score of 74-24. Fillmore Central played without senior Riley Means, who was out due to symptoms of the flu. Alex Folz's symptoms had tapered off just enough so he felt just good enough to play for Spring Grove.
In the early going, Spring Grove had the edge. The first six points, and then 19 of the next 21 points scored were from the Lions. The score was quickly 25-2. Spring Grove had their press going, worked hard on the offensive glass, and Chase Grinde got the ball in the lane several times in the first half. The score was 39-9 at the half, with Chase Grinde scoring 18 of those Lions points. With a couple players in some foul trouble early, Spring Grove sent in Jordan Jaster, who made an impact in the first half. Jaster drew a charge and nabbed an offensive rebound in his first minute on the floor in the game. More rebounds and a couple points followed into the second half.
Spring Grove started the second half with 5 straight points. It was a little back and forth after that, with a couple passes thrown away by the Lions, who are still working to better their game as the season winds down. The crowd was near a frenzy when Grinde attempted a slam dunk to finish after a steal, but that was one thing that didn't work for the Lions. The game stayed out of reach, and the final was 74-24. Spring Grove has now defeated Fillmore Central in seven straight meetings.
KFIL Subway Player of the Game for the Fillmore Central Falcons was Nate Haugerud. Nate scored 6 points and shot 4-of-5 from the free throw line.
KFIL Subway Player of the Game for Spring Grove was Chase Grinde. Grinde led the way with 23 points, grabbed a number of rebounds, especially on defense, and will likely set the Spring Grove all-time record in career steals this week.
The KIngsley Mercantile Game Ball went toe Alex Folz. The Spring Grove Lion playing through flu-like symptoms scored 16 in the game and dished out some great passes for what may have been a double-double.

Since moving into the show home the resident in residence has been hearing a lot about the new community centre that’s being built in Trumpington. Everyone she speaks with in the community seems to have no idea what it’s going to be like and when it’s going to open. How is this space going to be managed and by who, she wondered? Who is the community centre actually for? Is a community centre community business? These were the questions she would ask herself each time she walked by the centre’s building site. While doing some research the resident in residence found out that there was going to be a library and café on the ground floor. So, she thought of having a community centre rehearsal. She wanted to bring the library and café into the show home and see what happened. She asked some of her neighbours if they wanted to help organise and run the event. She asked some other community organisations managing their own enterprises and infrastructure to join them to talk about their own experience. And so, for one day in May the resident in residence hosted the showground café and real living library and welcomed her neighbours over for some tea, cake, music and conversation. | 2019-04-25T20:42:22Z | http://habitorials.org.uk/episode_2_hobsons_square/video/ |

Survey sites and the words good or legit rarely come to mind. This is in all honesty, the truth when it comes to probably 95% of them. Between fake sites, phishing scams, not paying out, deleting accounts, or simply kicking testers from surveys last minute, there is an ocean of scammers on the net promising to make you money for simply sharing your opinion. I’ll be honest guys, I didn’t think I would find any but after some intense research and spending hours upon hours taking surveys I have finally found the list of what I believe to be the most legit survey websites out there in 2017. | 2019-04-23T04:16:36Z | https://dizzie.org/blogs/reviews/websites/ |

Whatsapp payment service launched send instant money to friends. Due to the lack of communication among the key stakeholders, the entire rollout of WhatsApp payment in India has been stuck in a lemon. Indian National Payment Corporation (NPCI), which runs the Unified Payment Interface on which the WhatsApp Payment has been made, did not respond to specific questions raised by the Ministry of Information Technology earlier this month.
Concerned by the Ministry, whether or not the new UPA-based service is in line with RBI's safety and privacy regulations. NPCI has not disclosed it when it can give approval for the formal launch of Whatsapp payment service. Apart from this, there is a lack of clarity on whether or not whatsapp payment is fully compliant with RBI rules.
Whatsapp payment rollout has started with India, which means that the company is thinking of ending the dominance of apps like PetyM, Google Tez, and other digital wallet apps that have been around for a long time. With more than 200 million monthly active users in India, WhatsApp should not have any problem bringing its large user base to the taste of the payment facility. Facebook's move to bring paid facility in India on WhatsApp first is clearly a way to cash in on digital payments in the early days. The WhatsApp Payment feature was selected as a beta feature with select users but now more users have started getting the convenience.
So finally there is a WhatsApp payment facility launched. If your app is not showing this feature right now, then we can tell you an easy way through which you can set up the Whatsapp payment feature.
Currently, WhatsApp has activated Payments UPI only for those who enrolled for its beta testing program. For those who didn’t and still require to have it enabled for their smartphone, there is a different approach.
It works on invite system.
You need to follow simple steps.
if not found then it's OK.
You need to request an invite from any friend.
Ask them to select your contact and press the 'Pay' button.
Now send an authorization SMS and select the bank associated with the mobile number from the list of available banks.
enter the amount and finally authorize this with a PIN.
All set here you are ready for transfer money by the app. | 2019-04-24T04:23:34Z | https://www.perfectmantras.com/2018/09/whatsapp-payment-feature-how-to-send-receive-money.html |

View cart “Raising Children of Color in a Race Conscious World” has been added to your cart.
This course bundle is designed for clients of New Beginnings considering transracial adoption.
Transracial adoption requires a different type of parenting. What must white adoptive parents keep in mind when raising black and Asian kids? In this course, we interview with Rhonda Roorda, author of In Their Voices: Black Americans on Transracial Adoption, and an adult transracial adoptee.
How do transracial adoptees develop a racial identity? How can parents help their transracially adopted children grow into strong heathy adults? In this course, Dawn Davenport, Executive Director of Creating a Family, the national infertility & adoption education and support nonprofit, interviews Dr. Gina Samuels about how transracial adoptees navigate race as they age.
Transracial adoption is becoming increasingly popular in the US. In this course, Dr. Marlene Fine talks about issues unique to parenting a child of a different race. Dr. Fine is a Professor Emerita from Simmons College in Boston MA specializing in issues related to race, racial identity, and interracial communication, and the co-author with her spouse, Fern Johnson, of The Interracial Adoption Option: Creating a Family Across Race. She is the white adoptive mother of two African American sons, both adopted as infants and now ages 24 and 25. She is also a facilitator with the YW Boston Community Dialogues on Race and Ethnicity.
How can white parents raise children of color in this race-conscious world? In this course, Marguerite Wright, a psychologist for the Center for the Vulnerable Child at Children’s Hospital and Research Center Oakland, and author of I’m Chocolate, You’re Vanilla: Raising Healthy Black and Biracial Children in a Race-Conscious World, talks about the challenges of parenting a transracially adopted child.
The right way to raise a transracially adopted child is a hot-button issue. Our panel for this course are the real experts – adults of color who were adopted by white families. The panel consists of three transracial adoptees – black and white biracial, Asian and Hispanic – who discuss challenges they faced growing up, what their parents did right and what they wish their parents had known. | 2019-04-22T20:20:17Z | https://creatingafamily.org/product/transracial-adoption-package-for-new-beginnings/?add-to-cart=35898 |
There he was, that October 31, banging on a door. That Saturday five-hundred years ago, this monk named Martin Luther wasn’t looking for candy. With the hammer blows were posted his famous “95 Theses” to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. In a nutshell, the message spoke out against the common practice in his church of paying money for “indulgences” – notes that supposedly granted forgiveness for your sins. Luther didn’t find anything supporting this in the Bible—so he protested. Little did he realize the ripple effect that it would have – birthing the Protestant Reformation—a call to the Catholic Church, which Luther loved, to base its faith solely on the Bible. And this, because Luther was not willing to compromise biblical principle.
When it comes to relationships, healthy compromise isn’t only a good thing…it’s a necessity! Think about it. Without being willing to give up preferences and opinions, most couples would never agree on their new kitchen countertop color, or even the name of their next child. But while compromising on preferences is a must, there is a kind of compromise that is never safe for the Christian—compromise of principle. Standing firm for the truths of God’s word was literally what led the three Hebrews into the fiery furnace, Daniel into the lion’s den, and millions of Christians down through time to stand up for religious freedom, even at the risk of losing their lives. They all considered the price tag of compromise too high for the sake of peace and unity. They recognized that true peace—God’s peace—must stand on two legs. Love and truth. Summarizing this loving but firm stance, Martin Luther said — “Peace if possible, truth at all costs.” Luther not only recognized that truth was worth being divided over, but that by its very nature, truth separates.
Jesus Himself, the living embodiment of the truth, said that “[He] came not to bring peace, but a sword” (Matt. 10:24). But what does that mean? Isn’t Jesus the “Prince of Peace”? Absolutely! Jesus spoke His words about separation because He foresaw family members and friends being divided over the Truth. Some would make decisions to accept, but others to reject Him and His teachings. While God is a God of unity, He is also a God of separation. In the week that God created the world, in three out of the six days we find God dividing. And when God recreates us at conversion, He separates us from our unhealthy hobbies. He even separates us even from our unhealthy friendships for a time… in order to grow us in Him so that we’re strong enough to begin influencing them for Jesus. God separates…but in order to unite. And the unity that Jesus prayed for His followers to have in John 17 stands on not only the foundation of love…but also of truth.
How is it with us? What are some ways you find God giving you opportunities to stand for principle in your day to day interactions? Whatever they may be, take your stand for truth…with the love that God freely gives! | 2019-04-24T15:57:27Z | http://www.thesungazette.com/article/opinion/2017/11/08/prays-together-united-in-truth/?shared=email&msg=fail |
Complex and contradictory images of women allow a hyper-conservative relationship guru to exist alongside an empowered, independent pop singer.
Chinese social media users are discussing women’s issues with increasing openness. At the same time, more and more media outlets — from online variety shows to so-called WeMedia accounts — are reaching out to predominantly female readerships.
A highly successful product of this trend is the self-styled relationship guru Yang Bingyang — aka “Ayawawa” — who recently courted controversy for making insensitive comments about Chinese comfort women kept by Japanese soldiers during World War II. Yang taps into the deep-seated fear of singledom held by many straight Chinese women: Many of her fans either feel immense pressure to get married or worry that their husbands might divorce them.
Yang has developed a panoply of pseudoscientific theories that she claims are guaranteed secrets to success in the marriage market. Most of her advice equates happy marriages with material comfort: On her WeChat public account, fans pepper her with questions like “Miss Wawa, will he ever propose to me?”, “How can I get my man to buy me the life I want?”, and “How can I get my name on the deed to the house?

I’ve been sitting here on and off for almost two hours and haven’t written a word. Instead I’m mulling over a new crisis I have created for myself. This is an old habit I thought I had outgrown years ago. This week during a spectacularly bad writing day, I was listening to NPR on my lunch break as I drove to my second writing location, the library. I heard a brief yet fascinating and heart-wrenching story about the recently declared famine in southern Somalia. And within 60 minutes of listening, a fully formed novel idea had presented itself to me, scrawled messily over 10+ notebook pages. I even have a title. I have not stopped thinking about the characters since that time but haven’t written a word for fear of… I don’t know what. Betraying my first full work of fiction? Feeling like a quitter and a failure? Worrying that this idea will fizzle out halfway too and I’ll be left with nothing, thus forcing me to realize I’m not a writer, just someone with lots of ideas and no follow-through?
Every passage I read – or, rather, tried to read- on my last writing day felt off. So off. I couldn’t get through much of anything for revisions. I would read and try to make notes and just end up closing the manuscript in disgust. I deeply care about the story and the characters but it feels like I’m trying too hard. I can’t find the true voice. I like the story but parts of it are reading almost like a fairy tale. I think what’s really got me stuck is that I’m realizing the first book needs so much revision as to almost require a complete rewriting. The whole first half is in the wrong tone. I like the second half’s voice much better. But to rewrite the first half in the new voice is daunting. Not as daunting as a whole new book, but still.
If a friend was in this situation and asked me what I thought they should do, I would tell them to set the first work aside and get everything down that they could on the second one. You don’t want to lose momentum on an idea that compelling. And the friend would likely protest that they didn’t want to abandon their first work and wanted to finish what they had started, not quit. And I would counter that it will still be there when they are ready to go back to it, or when they have hit a stopping point on the new manuscript. But I am not an expert on writing books. This could be very bad advice.
The reality is that either way I am much further behind than I had thought. And that makes me feel defeated. And very very tired.

My gut feeling is that you need to follow the ideas, the heart, the passion, whatever is fueling your fire. I think perhaps you should cast aside any arbitrary timelines(?) and just, you know, let it be. Whatever is coming out, get it out and get it down. I think you’d just weary yourself more by fighting things, you know?
*TRY* not to feel defeated. You are *working*. That is amazing and excellent and worthy of some self-approval! | 2019-04-23T22:39:29Z | https://newtraditionceremony.com/2011/07/30/want-to-read-my-journal/ |

Solidarity is not just a feeling of sympathy for one another. Solidarity is the unwavering commitment to a common cause because as a Union we are all responsible for one another. There will be rabble rousers and trouble makers who will seek to sow the seeds of discontent. We need to ignore those minority voices and stand with those who believe in this cause and what it means. Now more than ever is the time when we need to be able to look around you and see a brother and a sister who has our back. We need all of our Union brothers and sisters to buy into and own that responsibility.
In solidarity we find strength. In strength we find courage. In courage we find victory. In victory we find solidarity. When we are united in solidarity there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

Does the gloomy winter Pacific Northwest weather already have you planning for summer? A tradition for Captain Wifey and I is to drive the 3-4 hours from Seattle to the Washington coast and do a little backcountry camping near Rialto Beach.
The drive out there from Seattle takes you on a ferry ride (take the Edmonds ferry in the morning and Bainbridge on your return to beat the rush), through the town of Port Angeles where you need to stop and get your backcountry pass (more on this later), past lovely Lake Crescent (pictured above), right by the town of Forks (vampires anyone?), and finally to the Olympic National Park Rialto Beach parking lot.
Rialto Beach is gorgeous. If you're staying overnight you'll park in a different parking lot since you're leaving your car. The pass you picked up at the Ranger Station in Port Angeles will go both on your dash and with you on your pack. They give you a giant bear canister (to store scented things and food overnight), that goes with you too (and is a suggested $3 donation). Off you go!
Heading north, you'll hike a fairly short distance and reach Ellen Creek. Camping is allowed anywhere north of here, but we always keep walking past the Hole-in-the-Wall to find a secluded spot. The tides greatly affect the route and time you'll need to get places on the coast…make sure to get a tide-table book (or app, however, cell coverage can by spotty…some apps work offline, some don't) and plan accordingly.
Two-hours of hiking at high tide can become only 20 minutes at low tide! Sea-stacks block the way at higher tides forcing you to take the occasional steep jungle route (picture below!). At high tide, normally easy to walk on hard sand becomes deep gravel. The lower the tide the better.
The jungle path over the Hole-in-the-Wall.
One of the greatest things about backcountry camping, besides being only $11 per night, is you don't have to take the risk of camping next to some loud, rude dudes. You pick the spot. We like to find a bay or inlet that becomes hard to get to when the tide comes in. Look toward the tree-line for camping spots others have used (and fire-pits). The panorama below is a view from our elevated campsite. The sea-stacks in the distance to the left are from the town of La Push - far enough, but not too far.
Another perk is campfires on the beach. Little rain in the summer often causes the inland parks to initiate burn-bans although the coast is rarely affected.
Sometimes you have to get creative. We were truly roughing it, trying to chill our sake that we brought along…We decided to use the cool waters of the Pacific! It kinda worked.
Another benefit of hiking/exploring at low tide is the abundant sea life in tide pools. It's nature's aquarium out here.
1. The tides make or break this trip, plan accordingly.
2. Edmonds ferry there, Bainbridge ferry back.
3. Pit stop in Port Angeles at the ranger station (it's at the beginning of the road leading to Hurricane Ridge) to get your passes - $11 a day.
4. Bring your own water (which is heavy), or, what we do - bring a fancy filter to purify before drinking (or boil)…iodine tablets are not enough out here.
5. Wear supportive hiking boots, not sandals…there's lots of rock.
6. Leave room on your pack for the giant bear canister.
7. Check the weather - windstorms bring high surf. Layer…it's cold, even in the summer.
8. Check here for more info from the National Parks!
Thank you! I read through numerous other links that didn't go into the camping beyond Rialto Beach/Hole In The Wall at all!
What did you carry for food? I'm planning a trip this summer and am curious what others carry on these hikes/camping trips.
*Trader Joes is a great resource - dried fruit and nuts for the win. Dates have mad sugar and are great for a pick me up on the trail. Prepackaged in resealable ziplock bags ahead of time to lesson trash.
*baked goods are great - bread and if you made some homemade granola/power bars (less packaging if you bake).
*You can take hard cheeses and eggs for the first night (or if you brought eggs from the farmers market that haven’t been refrigerated yet - they’d last the whole trip - eggs don’t really have to be in the fridge if they haven’t been in the fridge). Camping stores sell plastic egg carrier thingys.
*Instant oatmeal and powdered milk if needed.
*Booze is tricky because it’s heavy, hence the Sake (smaller). I’d go canned or boxed wine (lose the box and take the bladder only - secure in extra ziplock so it doesn’t leak). Beer is heavy and warm. Whiskey in a flask is good. Canned wine not bad either - can crush the can to haul out.
*avoid cans - messy and heavy trash - bagged is better.
OMG, I’m hungry now. We probably forgot something. | 2019-04-23T00:19:12Z | https://www.everyonestravelclub.com/kayaktravel-blog/loose-the-rude-dudes-backcountry-beach-camping-near-rialto-beach-washington-coast |

“Watson is a place that values not only the academic contribution we are making with our work, but asks why it matters: what are the political, moral, and practical implications? People here aren't afraid to say that they … want to make an impact in the world."
Walk the halls of the Watson Institute. Hear that sound? That’s the hum of energy given off by 11 of today’s top young social scientists.
These scholars, who arrived in July 2014, are the first cohort of Watson Postdoctoral Fellows. Establishing the program was one of Director Richard Locke’s first initiatives and is central to the Institute’s strategic plan. Modeled after the best programs in the country, the newly invigorated Watson Postdoctoral Fellows Program was launched with several goals in mind. According to Keith Brown, a Watson faculty fellow and the program’s executive director, those goals are being met.
“First, we wanted to establish the Watson Institute as a destination – a place that people naturally think of when they’re applying to postdoc programs at Harvard and Michigan,” Brown says. “And I think we’ve done that, given the number and quality of applicants and the types of places that people are applying from. The word is out that Watson is a great place to be.” In this year’s application cycle – its second – the program received about 250 applications for seven slots. That’s a selectivity rate of about three percent.
Indeed, one requirement is that each postdoc present his or her work at a series of dinners and lunches, which senior faculty attend as well. These events are for “early idea-sharing and solidarity-building, exchanging ideas, in a different way from the corridors,” says Brown.
Janice Gallagher, who studies judicial and human rights outcomes in the context of state-civil society relations, recalls her turn at the monthly Works in Progress.
For Eoin McGuirk, who earned his PhD from Trinity College in Dublin and studies the intersection of political economy and development in Africa, being a Watson Postdoctoral Fellow is a perfect fit. | 2019-04-20T18:53:06Z | https://watson.brown.edu/news/explore/2015/PostdoctoralFellows |

Housing Will Recover. But When?
What passes for optimism on the housing market these days is a pale reflection of the glory days of five years ago. “Housing is dead,” writes MarketWatch’s Rex Nutting. “There is no doubt about that. Housing is as dead as a door nail.” The good news, such as it is, is that “housing is just too small to do any real damage to the economy any more,” he adds. Perhaps, but housing’s not likely to help any time soon either.
Even after five years of a nonstop housing recession, there’s little confidence that the sector is poised for a rebound. And after last week’s dismal news on sales of new single-family homes last month, some analysts wonder if a new round of trouble is coming for residential real estate.
Many first-time home buyers are sitting on the sidelines of the U.S. housing market, hampering its ability to gain traction.
Last month, 34% of existing-home purchases were made by first-time buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors. In January, they were 29% of the market, the lowest since NAR surveys started tracking them monthly in late 2008.
In healthy markets, first-time buyers make up 40% to 45% of all purchasers. They play a critical role in buying starter homes so those owners can buy more expensive homes.
If the logic of buying when blood runs in the street has any merit, the housing market surely looks intriguing. By several measures of activity in residential real estate, the sector has suffered a dramatic decline in recent years.
Meanwhile, there have been positive changes on household balance sheets in the wake of the recession. For instance, household debt service payments as a percentage of disposable personal income have dropped substantially since 2007.
At some point, real estate will turn up, offering buyers extraordinary opportunities. It’s unclear if that point is now, next year, or a decade down the line. For all of Castleman’s optimism that the bottom is near, it’s a sign of the depth of the uncertainty that one his colleagues at Metrostudy is unabashedly cautious. The ongoing rise in an already elevated level of residential vacancies is pinching the housing market, warns Brad Hunter, Metrostudy’s chief economist. “More vacant homes equal more downward pressure on home prices,” he tells CNNMoney. | 2019-04-26T04:18:38Z | http://archive.economonitor.com/blog/2011/03/housing-will-recover-but-when/ |
The Adriatic city of Split has something to please everyone: the substantial remains of a fascinating Roman palace, wide ocean views, fabulous food and wine, and exquisite tiny ancient churches.
On the shores of the Adriatic Split has grown around the palace built by Diocletian for his retirement. We stayed in the Hotel Slavija which is inside the palace!
The peristyle, once the central courtyard of Diocletian's palace. At the end is the prothyron - the grand entrance to the emperor's apartments. Diocletian would stand on the platform in front of the central arch so that the people could see and worship him as a deity.
There was a Roman settlement here prior to Diocletian building his palace in 295 AD, ready for his retirement to his native Illyria.
Diocletian became emperor in 284 AD at the age of 39 and retired 21 years later, dying at the age of 67 in 312 AD.
The palace measured 200m by 240m and housed a military garrison as well as the luxurious apartments.
The Golden Gate used to have four statues of the tetrarch of emperors, on plinths at the top. Diocletian was a persecutor of Christians, martyring many including Domnius who would become the city's patron saint. The statues and much else from the Roman period were destroyed by Christians.
Outside the Golden Gate stands the 8m statue of Bishop Gregory of Nin.
Behind is the bell tower of St Arnir outside the palace.
Diocletian ruled with a co-emperor Maximian - himself in the east, Maximian in the west. Later he established a tetrarchy adding two junior co-emperors, who were also the emperors' successors. This system was designed to deter assassins because a successor was ready to take control when a senior emperor died.
Carved faces under corbels on the Golden Gate above the entrance.
Originally the statue was erected in the peristyle but it was removed in WW2 by Italian occupiers wanting to get rid of any national symbols. Ivan Mestrovic.
This northern gate was the main entrance to the city, the road from here once led to Solin (Roman Salona) where Diocletian may have lived as a boy, the son of slaves.
Tradition has it that if you rub the left big toe of the statue of Bishop Gregory your wish will come true!
Four gates allowed entry to the palace: the Golden Gate on the north side, Iron Gate to the west, Silver Gate to the east, and Brass Gate to the South - the metallic names were given to the gates by the Venetians who took control of Split early in the fifteenth century.
The south side of what was once Diocletian's palace fronting the harbour on the Adriatic, in the centre is the Brass Gate. The bell tower is part of the cathedral, once Diocletian's tomb. Along the waterfront is the Riva.
We learned from our guide that cravats come from Croatia: when their men went to war the wives tied a cloth round their husband's neck so that they could recognise each other when they were fighting alongside other armies and also to remind them of Croatia.
The Iron Gate on the west side of the palace.
The 6th century Church of Our Lady of the Bell Tower was built in the guard passage above the interior gate; alongside are the 11th century bell tower and 14th century clock.
The Silver Gate on the east side of the palace, near the green market.
The octagonal cathedral of St. Domnius - once Diocletian's mausoleum.
Diocletian's mausoleum in the south-east quarter of the palace complex was converted into a church in the seventh century by Bishop John of Ravenna and is now the city Cathedral of St. Domnius.
The wide paved street is the decumanus, one of two main Roman roads through the palace. The decumanus ran east-west, the cardo north-south, quartering the complex of buildings.
The octagonal cathedral is surrounded by a series of original Corinthian columns. The 60m bell tower is much later, begun in the 13th century and taking over 300 years to complete.
At the entrance to the cathedral from the peristyle are two beautiful Romanesque lions, both carrying figures on their backs.
A 3500 year old black granite Egyptian sphinx in the peristyle, near the entrance to the cathedral, from the reign of Pharaoh Tuthmosis III.
View west from the cathedral bell tower.
A cat contemplates the Roman ruins.
We climbed the bell tower for very good views over the city and then visited the Temple of Jupiter - now the Baptistry, which is on the western side of the peristyle. The south west quarter of the palace held three temples as well as baths and the emperor's living quarters and main reception room - his dining room, the triclinium, was on the south east side.
The remains of the palace dining room in the south east corner, the southern boundary of the palace beyond.
Temple of Jupiter (the Baptistry) from the cathedral bell tower.
the statue of John the Baptist is by the ubiquitous Ivan Mestrovic.
Finely carved entrance to the Temple of Jupiter.
Fine coffered barrel vault in the Temple of Jupiter, detail below.
The Temple of Jupiter, though built in Diocletian's time, has artefacts within from later periods including a beautiful 11th century font with a carving of a subject grovelling before an enthroned ruler. The style of geometric design on font and 11th century sarcophagus is very celtic in nature, very attractive.
11th century sarcophagus and font.
In the evening there is often music in the peristyle.
Beneath Diocletian's platform on the peristyle is an entrance to an underground area, also accessible from the Bronze gate. The arrangement of the basement rooms is identical to that of Diocletian's apartments above.
We learned a lot on our walking tour of the city with Split Walking Tours. We combined a history tour with their culinary tour so we began by visiting the fish market to the west of the palace where we chose seafood to be cooked for our lunch: scampi, 4 red mullet, 1 wild sea bream, and bonito.
This genial man was selling oysters, cockles & mussels.
A little culinary history along the way while we explored the markets and chose food - in the green market near the seafront east of the palace we picked up cherries for dessert. Everything looked fresh and appetising, lots of herbs, dried fruits and plants for sale too.
Sugared figs, on the right, seem to be a local specialty - we loved them!
There is a covered and outdoor section - outdoors there seemed to be more smaller producers, farmers and their wives.
We took the lunch ingredients to Diocletian's Wine House and gave them to the chefs with whom we had a discussion about the kinds of dishes we like. Croatians traditionally have four meals a day, with the main one around lunch time.
After dropping off our food we were taken to the Golden Gate to meet the guide who was to give us the historical tour of the city.
When the tour was finished we were taken back to Diocletian's Wine House. In front of the restaurant is said to be the spot where Emperor Julius Nepos (from whence nepotism comes) was assassinated, heralding the end of the Roman Empire.
On the street here is said to be where Emperor Julius Nepos was killed by soldiers.
Pasta & scampi first course.
Our lunch was fabulous! A fantastic green pasta starter with the scampi, then the grilled fish - the bonito was stunningly good! And a fabulous cherry crumble to finish. We had an excellent wine and took our time - extremely enjoyable!
We made a point of congratulating the chefs on making such a magnificent meal from our chosen ingredients.
The Riva between Diocletian's Palace and the sea (which once washed right up to the palace itself). This modernised area with its hard stone paving is not particularly loved by the locals!
We explored Split quite a bit on our own, wandering the atmospheric alleyways, especially the medieval streets west of the palace.
Note the repurposed Corinthian column!
A beautiful Renaissance facade just off Narodni Trg.
West of the Iron Gate, Narodni Trg and its 15th century Town Hall are at the heart of medieval Split.
Vocni Trg, just outside the palace on the west side off the Riva.
The name means Fruit Square because a fruit market was once held here.
Statue of Marko Marulic, Croatian poet and Renaissance humanist, on Vocni Trg. Ivan Mestrovic (again!).
Poles with wet sheets suspended were slotted through the cylindrical holes either side of windows; the wet sheets hung in front of the window openings and a breeze drying the sheets would blow cool air into the rooms behind - an early form of air-conditioning!
Papalic Palace, a fine late Gothic residence now housing the city museum.
The octagonal tower on Vocni Trg was once part of the Venetian fortress.
Papalic Palace - city museum.
A rather finely carved St. George slaying the dragon.
On a street corner near the city museum.
Split from the Marjan Peninsula.
The beautiful church of St Mikula, the oldest in Veli Varos; blind arches on the tower and wild flowers on the roof.
Wandering the narrow alleys of Veli Varos we spotted a small church, hemmed in by houses, which turned out to be St. Mikula.
We wandered west of Split and onto the Marjan peninsula, an extensive wooded area surrounded on three sides by the sea.
One of the animal forms flanking the lintel above the entrance to St Mikula. They support a covered arch which shelters a narrow platform - no doubt it once held some kind of devotional statue.
Climbing up we quite quickly came to a more famous church: Sv Nikole Putnika - St. Nicholas of Travellers. It was built in 1219 by another citizen of Split: Rake and his wife Elizabete.
The beautiful simple interior of Sv. Nikole Putnika.
St. Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors and this church could have been seen from the sea - the views from here are spectacular.

To paraphrase Obi-Wan Kenobi, it's not a moon.
The folks over at the YouTube channel Bad Lip Reading channel have turned their brand of goofy misreading dialogue to the first Star Wars film, turning A New Hope into a surprisingly probably musical staring Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). The result? Just over four minutes of hilarity that is "It's Not a Moon". You can check it out in the video above.
The video uses parts from multiple scenes in the movie but centers on the scene where, after having been arrested by Darth Vader, Leia is taken to Tarkin who threatens to destroy her home planet of Alderaan with the Death Star unless she tells them where the hidden Rebel base is located. Leia gives them a location, but Tarkin destroys Alderaan anyway. In Star Wars the scene is incredibly powerful and dramatic, but when added to music with some hilariously bad lip reading -- the line "now I have to go teach the kids to drink powdered goat bladders" comes to mind -- it turns into a nearly perfect musical sure to make fans want more.
"It's Not a Moon" is just the latest time that Bad Lip Reading has taken on the Star Wars universe. Bad Lip Reading has frequently visited the galaxy far, far away often taking scenes and moments from the iconic films and giving them a wild musical reimagining. Previously, The Empire Strikes Back saw Yoda declare that he "love to groove and boogie" in "Seagulls! (Stop It Now)" among others.
Like the Yoda-centric video before it, "It's Not a Moon" is pretty catchy and even though Tarkin, Vader and the Empire are the bad guys, we can't help but root for them as we sing along. After all, as the song says, they have the ultimate power in the universe. Who are we to argue with that?
Of course, if you prefer the real sounds of the Star Wars saga, you're in luck there, too. Disney Music Group recently announced plans to rerelease all six of composer John Williams' original Star Wars soundtracks on CD, remastered and complete with new artwork in May.

I have lots of people tell me that they would love to try yoga but they find it challenging to get up from the floor, or that an injury is preventing them from performing weight bearing tasks or that they are worried that they wouldn’t be able to do a lot of the poses because they are really inflexible. All of these concerns are completely valid and in some extreme cases these issues would prevent a person from participating in a regular class.
The unfortunate part about letting the above reasons stop you from doing yoga or engaging in exercise, is that in the majority of cases, movement, stretching, strengthening and toning is exactly what you need in order to start improving the way the body moves and feels.
Another major benefit of engaging in a yoga practice, is the mental benefits that it can provide. We all know that when the body isn’t functioning properly, or we have been trying to recover from an injury it can really affect our mental health and in extreme cases this lack of control and confidence we have in our body can even lead to depression.
The beauty of yoga is it is well and truly for every body, sometimes the practice just needs to be adapted by an experienced teacher to suit YOUR body. Chair yoga is a wonderfully adaptive practice in which you can reap all of the benefits of a normal class in a comfortable and accessible way.
If you are feeling generally unwell with low energy levels. This feeling can effect the physical body as well as our mental health.
If you are suffering from or recovering from mental health issues like depression and do not feel ready to put yourself in a group setting.
Below I have made put together a short, 10 minute sequence that you could do at your desk today during your lunch break, or this evening when your waiting for your dinner to cook.

I hope that you found all of this useful.

This week was brutally cold, but we had some punctuations of warm afternoons scattered throughout. It's easy to go without a jacket when you have some lovingly lined leather pieces to insulate for a lunch out.
Been in correspondence with Amy, the designer behind LEEAM here in NYC. Amy has the excellent taste to keep her craft local, hand making her pieces out of the shrinking, historic garment district here in NYC. This top is out of her '13 Fall collection, and with a heavy gauge knit and contrasting leather sleeves, it's proven to be an excellent wear in the foggy, unseasonably warm weather we've had today.

The protesters were rounded up on Monday in the capital Kampala and its outskirts.
Demonstrations started at around 10am at Kisekka market and spread to Kampala Road, Namirembe Road, Nakivubo Mews, Ben Kiwanuka Street and Katwe.
The protesters, chanting in praise and support of Mr Wine, were met with brute force from Special Forces Command (SFC), Military Police and Field Force Police (FFP).
Ugandan police and army have arrested and locked up more than 100 people in crackdown on protests against detention of Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine.
However, police spokesperson Emilian Kayima said only 45 suspects were being held in different police stations.
“Fortunately, police with sister security agencies stopped the protests. We want to ask Ugandans, mostly people in Kampala, to desist from these acts. Protests are criminal. We ask you to express your emotions in a manner that does not contravene the law,” Mr Kayima said.
But a police officer who was part of the operations had earlier told the Daily Monitor that more than 80 suspects had been detained at the Old Kampala Station.
More than 50 others, he said, had been detained at Kampala South Divisional Police headquarters in Katwe and an unspecified number of suspects were being held at Kampala Central Police Station.
The fully armed security officers dispersed the protesters using teargas, canes, batons and live bullets.
The besieged crowds shouted release ‘Bobi Wine’ and chanted his trade mark slogans; ‘People Power, Our People and Time is now’.
The demonstrators burnt tyres and logs on Kampala Road junction, Kisekka market lane, Kikuubo market road and Katwe.
Security forces unleashed brutality on people gathered on verandahs by clobbering them with sticks, clubs, kicks, slapping and pinching them with scissors.
Teargas canisters were fired into buildings where people had taken cover to escape flying bullets.
The teargas made people scream for help as they were choking but entrances and exits of buildings such as Nabukera Plaza, Equatorial Mall and Shamba Plaza had been closed and were being manned by either police or army.
The gates were later opened but people were whipped as they moved out.
Ms Irene Nakasita, the Red Cross spokesperson, refuted reports that her organisation had picked two bodies of people shot dead and rescued scores injured with gun shots and teargas.
“We only handled four cases of injuries and they were minor. We gave them First Aid and they were discharged immediately. We did not refer anyone to hospital,” she said. | 2019-04-26T08:33:43Z | https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/ea/Uganda-police-lock-up-over-100-in-Bobi-Wine-riots/4552908-4721882-bknp8t/index.html |

Mary Stergiou-Kita, Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, University of Toronto, and her colleagues have published an interesting review of qualitative studies of cancer survivors’ experiences and the development of strategies to facilitate return to work in the Journal of Cancer Survivorship. The journal has a 2013 impact factor of 3.2927.
The authors conducted a systematic search of five databases to identify relevant qualitative studies published between January 2000 and July 2013. In total, 39 studies met their inclusion and quality criteria.
The synthesis of these studies is reported to have demonstrated that cancer diagnosis and treatment represent a major change in individuals’ lives and often result in them having to leave full-time work while undergoing treatment or participating in rehabilitation. Many survivors wanted to return to some form of gainful or paid employment. However, there was also evidence that the meaning of paid employment could change following cancer.
Return to work was found to be a continuous process that involved planning and decision-making with respect to work readiness and symptom management throughout the process. Nine key factors were identified as relevant to work success. These include four related to the person (i.e., symptoms, work abilities, coping, motivation), three related to environmental supports (i.e., family, workplace, professionals), and two related to the occupation (i.e., type of work/demands, job flexibility). Finally, issues related to disclosure of one’s cancer status and cancer-related impairments were also found to be relevant to survivors’ return to work experiences.
The authors concluded that cancer survivors need integrated support from health and vocational professionals (e.g., assistance with defining work goals, determining work readiness, determining how symptoms may impact work performance, suggesting workplace supports, and accommodations) to maintain and return to work after cancer diagnosis and treatment. These supports need to be provided throughout the recovery and rehabilitation process.
These findings reported in this review paper are important and resonate with those emerging from the (empirical) SCOT-PAIS project being conducted through The METIS Collaboration by Sara MacLennan, Sarah Murdoch and Tom Cox funded by Macmillan Cancer Support in Scotland.
Stergiou-Kita, M., Grigorovich, A., Tseung, V., Milosevic, E., Hebert, D., Phan, S., and Jones, J. (2014) Qualitative meta-synthesis of survivors’ work experiences and the development of strategies to facilitate return to work. Journal of Cancer Survivorship, 8, 657-670.

Atlanta, GA, April 25, 2016 - As we mark World Malaria Day on April 25, Malaria Zero partners reaffirm our commitment to helping end malaria for good by eliminating the disease from Hispaniola, which includes Haiti and the Dominican Republic, by 2020.
The Malaria Zero Alliance includes the Ministry of Public Health and Population of Haiti, the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance of the Dominican Republic and others who are working in support of the National Strategic Plan for Malaria Elimination in Haiti.
The majority of Hispaniola’s malaria cases occur in Haiti, where there were about 17,700 confirmed cases in 2014. In addition to causing sickness and death, the continuous transmission of malaria in Haiti exacts a toll on its health system and economy, and impedes the economic development of Hispaniola as a whole.
We must act now to capitalize on a unique window of opportunity to eliminate malaria from the island—before resistance to chloroquine or insecticides develop. Acting now will deliver significant savings to the governments of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, as well as the international community, as the disease will be much more challenging and expensive to eliminate should resistance develop. In addition, investing in the near-term will result in long-term savings for the countries once elimination is achieved.
Malaria Zero partners are preparing to launch a household survey in Haiti to identify specific geographic areas with high malaria transmission to implement the elimination strategies. Plans will include innovative interventions such as targeted and geographic focal mass drug administration to rapidly clear all stages of the malaria parasite and prevent onward transmission. Malaria Zero’s work will enhance surveillance systems and laboratory capacity for malaria elimination in Haiti, which may also enhance the identification, tracking and management of other serious febrile diseases, including chikungunya and zika virus.
Evidence generated from Malaria Zero’s efforts will have an impact beyond Hispaniola—contributing to global knowledge on effective malaria elimination strategies, particularly in similar transmission settings. | 2019-04-21T10:46:44Z | http://malariazeroalliance.com/malaria-zero-world-malaria-day-2016 |
Click-and-collect delivery service Doddle has launched a new fulfilment initiative that it claims is the “simplest” way to send items in the UK.
The firm has unveiled its new “snap and send” parcel service called Doddle Runner. It allows users of the smartphone app to take a picture of up to five items they want to send, before a runner personally collects the parcels from them.
Doddle said the “specially trained runners” will pick up the items within an hour of the order being placed and take them to a Doddle store to be wrapped, posted and delivered overnight, reaching their destination the next morning.
The app features a handy list of retailers allowing customers to easily return any unwanted products they have previously purchased online.
Doddle, which has initially launched the service in London’s EC1-EC4 postcodes, claims the service “negates the need to ever queue to send a parcel again”. It will be rolled out to the rest of the capital “within the coming months”.
It costs £5 for a Doddle runner to collect your parcel, plus an extra charge for next-day delivery, which varies depending on the quantity, size and weight of your parcels. Runners can handle up to five parcels weighing up to 16kg each, with longest combined dimensions of 150cm.
Doddle chief executive Tim Robinson said: “We’ve all had those moments when we realise we need to get a parcel to someone for the next day, but we’re short on time to send it, or we’re running out of time to return something bought online that we don’t want.
Doddle has launched a service that will collect parcels for delivery from a consumer’s location. We test-drive the scheme.
Doddle has launched six click-and-collect collection points at university campuses in the UK as it seeks to tap into the student market.
Opinion: Will you be a winner this Christmas in the fulfilment wars?
Thinking smarter about how retailers use their key assets of staff, stores and inventory during peak is key to fulfilment success. | 2019-04-25T04:40:18Z | https://www.retail-week.com/multichannel/doddle-ups-the-ante-in-fulfilment-with-snap-and-send-parcel-service-/5077874.article?authent=1 |

I did make the Hydration Shake, super easy and hey who doesn't want to drink a shake and with a name like Hydration Shake it screams, "good for you!"
I must eat gluten free meals and most of these recipes are easy to adapt or already gluten free.

I had a chuckle with Diana as we prepared for this blog post together. I had to admit that it was my husband, Mike, who actually came up with the easier way to make hash browns and peel potatoes! After getting married, he asked me if I'd like breakfast one day. I watched him make the potatoes and about fell off the kitchen stool at the simplicity! Go figure a simple recipe comes from a guy's bachelor days, lol. He still makes them for me often and I am always appreciative of his ingenuity.
Thank you so much, Diana, for hosting me today on your blog! | 2019-04-25T14:19:35Z | http://www.pencildancer.com/2010/04/creative-cooking-for-colitis-by-angela.html |
Working with a relatively large mission 4mb. When trying to do target links with the MCU basic properties box, it was taking around 5 seconds for ME to load up all the possible objects that could be targeted. Things are way to spread out in and in groups to try and link by "find target". Have been dealing with this for a couple days now, and out of desperation, turned off the mcu targets/mcu objects (the green and red lines), and all the other buttons there. This dramatically increase the speed in which the target dialogue box would fill up.
I don't notice it until I start to copy and paste objects into the editor, then it takes forever for the pasted object to actually get pasted. However, I have found a good solution to solving theses sort of delays. The secret is to save your objects into groups, and remove the objects from your editor until you're ready for them. Then re-import that saved object.
Place your objects as you normally would. In my case, I have some static objects for a shipping objective.
Do any other work you need without a performance hit!
And import your file into the mission. It will automatically be placed exactly where you last left it before deleting it. | 2019-04-25T21:49:02Z | https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/43954-lag-in-me/ |
4 typical chess mistakes in defense you should never make!
First, let me remind you that the special 35% discount (save about $40) on our new course “Defending Champion” expires on Wednesday, 4 Jan. Use coupon “defend35” when making your purchase (see how to use the coupon here). You can find more details about the course here.
Let me also remind you that the special 30% discount on all RCA courses to celebrate the Christmas Holidays expires tomorrow (31st). Use coupon “holidays30” when purchasing the courses. You can find more details here.
We are humans and we make mistakes, this is normal. There are some typical cases in which chess players make the same mistake(s) repeatedly. In this lesson about defense, you will recognize and understand those mistakes. It will help you avoid those mistakes in your future games and it will drive you in cloud nine!
When we are playing a game, our opponent sits opposite to us and he/she wants to win as much as we want to. Don’t forget that we are not the only one playing the game, and what is more important we are not the only ones who are playing to win. Thus, we should pay attention to our opponent’s threats and we should ask ourselves: what does she/he have in mind?
A blunder is like a slipping on a banana peel. Sometimes, even the TOP grandmasters can make such terrible mistakes. It is not something they intend to do; it is simply a mistake, an error. After the blunder, the position immediately collapses.
In the above game, Nakamura played the move 13.Ne2 very quickly. Perhaps he confuses his opening preparation or he just would like to confuse his opponent. Please let me remind you that he is one of the best blitz players in the world. Unfortunately, Blitz is very different from classical chess.
White has strategically lost the position because the pawn on c4 is a very weak one and Black’s plan is very simple. Black will double his rooks on the c-file and they will capture the weak pawn. Black won the game easily.
The most dangerous strategy is to leave your King in the center of the board, because the center usually can be opened easily. Thus, my advice is to castle as soon as possible and keep those pawns snug (f2,g2 and h2) right in front of your king.
Many chess players leave their King in the center for long time, and because of that they lose their games. I hope that you will not make this mistake and will secure your King.
The day has finally come – today we’ve released our new chess course “Defending Champion”! If you want to strengthen your defensive skills and stop losing games under pressure, then this course is for you.
As promised, we’re providing you with a massive 35% discount (save about USD $40) on this course. Simply use the coupon “defend35” when purchasing this course. If you don’t know how to use a discount code, please see here. This is a limited-period offer: it will be valid from today till Wednesday, 4 Jan. (inclusive).
Defense is a very important chess skill. In at least 50% of chess games, we need to defend. In some games, we play with the Black pieces and White makes the first move; for that reason, White has the opportunity to start the attack/initiative. On some other occasions, one will make a mistake and be forced to defend. Thus, defense is as important as attack.
Many players struggle to get out of hard positions and they crumble under pressure. If you study the course carefully, then you will be able to defend correctly against all level of players.
This course is suitable for beginners and intermediate-level players, but it will be helpful for advanced players, too. Even if your ELO is 1900+, this course will help you improve your defensive skills and you’ll learn some new things.
How to defend in the opening?
How to evaluate a position?
How to consolidate and save a lost position?
The course also contains powerful practical tasks: it is necessary to put the received knowledge into practice. There are nine practical tasks (over 100 games) in this course, which will help you to understand and remember the ideas presented in the course better. The training program has a detailed explanation of WHAT and HOW exactly you should perform the practical tasks.

You’ll also be notified a few hours before the course launch on 28 December, if you pre-register for the course now.
Let’s finish this article with a very interesting ches puzzle.
It looks like White’s position is hopeless. But can you find a way for White to draw the game? Let me give you a little hint: one goal is getting in the square of the Black pawn, so it can be intercepted and the other is getting to the d6 square to support the promotion of his pawn.
1. Kg7! h4 2. Kf6 Kb6 Black has to spend a tempo on preventing the White king from reaching his pawn. If 2… h3 then 3. Ke7 h2 4. c7 Kb7 5. Kd7 and both pawns promote, with a drawn position. | 2019-04-19T21:18:36Z | http://gmigorsmirnov.blogspot.com/2016/12/ |
