VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A Virginia Beach man will spend the next 26 years, and one month, behind bars.
A judge handed down the sentencing to Wesley Brooks Tuesday afternoon.
Brooks was charged for fatally stabbing 61-year-old May Joyce Washington-Brown during an altercation in 2016, according to police.
Police previously said the incident happened in the 500 block of Jonathan Court in the Pembroke Manor area.
In July, Brooks pleaded guilty to Second Degree Murder.
Under his plea agreement if Brooks pleads guilty to Second Degree Murder the charge of Abduction will be nolle prossed.
The judge accepted that plea.
In court, we learned Brooks sufferers from schizophrenia and wasn’t on his medication at the time of the murder.
Brooks had nothing to say in court, taking the judge by surprise.
However, Brooks’ sister did speak saying he was a member of a local church and helped the homeless.
His defense asked the judge for the lowest possible sentence of 15 years and 7 months.
The prosecution told the court Brooks was charged in 2003 for stabbing a girlfriend at that time.
He’s facing time in Norfolk for that incident.
After handing down his sentence, the judge told the court he never wants Brooks to get out of prison and is a danger to society.

The Intriguing World of Indigo Clothing Dye An Overview of Pricing
Indigo dyeing has long been a celebrated practice, steeped in history and cultural significance. This traditional method has seen a resurgence in modern fashion, as consumers increasingly seek out sustainable, artisanal products. If you're interested in exploring the enchanting world of indigo clothing dye, you may be curious about the pricing associated with these beautiful, deep blue textiles. In this article, we will delve into the factors influencing indigo clothing dye pricing and provide a general overview of what you might expect when purchasing indigo-dyed garments.
Understanding Indigo Dyeing
Indigo dye is derived from the leaves of the indigo plant, specifically from the genus Indigofera. Unlike many synthetic dyes, indigo is natural and requires a complex fermentation process to extract the dye from the leaves. This artisanal method not only enhances the quality of the dye but also contributes to the unique variations seen in indigo-dyed fabrics. Each piece tells a story, often reflected in its rich texture and coloration.
Factors Influencing Pricing
Several factors contribute to the pricing of indigo clothing dye products
1. Quality of Dye The extraction and preparation of indigo dye involve skilled craftsmanship. High-quality, organically sourced indigo dyes command higher prices due to the labor and expertise required in their production. In contrast, lower-priced items may use synthetic dyes or lower-grade indigo.
2. Handcrafted vs. Mass Production Hand-dyed garments often carry a premium price tag. Each piece is unique, reflecting the artisan's touch and techniques. This labor-intensive process often results in higher costs, compared to mass-produced alternatives that might use chemical dyes.
3. Type of Fabric The base fabric also affects pricing. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, and silk that undergo indigo dyeing tend to be more expensive than synthetic options. Additionally, the weight and quality of the fabric can influence the final price.
4. Geographic Origin The location where the dyeing takes place can impact price as well. Artisans in regions with a strong tradition of dyeing, such as India or Japan, may charge more due to their historical methods and expertise. Importation costs for indigo-dyed items can also factor into the final retail price.
5. Design Complexity The intricacy of the design can also play a significant role in pricing. Simple, solid-colored indigo garments are generally more affordable than those featuring intricate patterns or multiple dye applications, which require more time and skill to create.
While prices can vary greatly depending on the factors mentioned above, here is a general overview of what you might expect
- Basic Indigo-Dyed T-Shirts Prices can range from $25 to $50, depending on the quality of the dye and fabric. - Indigo Dye Scarves Hand-dyed scarves typically fall within the $30 to $100 range, with elaborate designs costing more. - Indigo-Dyed Dresses and Tops These can range from $50 to $200, with artisanal brands often at the higher end of the spectrum. - High-End Fashion Pieces Designer indigo-dyed garments can exceed $200, especially if they feature unique artistry or collaborations with renowned artisans.
Indigo clothing dye represents a beautiful blend of tradition and modernity. With its rich history and sustainable appeal, it is no wonder that this dyeing method is flourishing in the fashion industry. Understanding the factors that influence pricing can help you make more informed choices when shopping for indigo-dyed garments. By investing in these unique pieces, you're not only supporting artisans and sustainable practices but also adding timeless elegance to your wardrobe. As you navigate the indigo landscape, remember to appreciate the artistry behind each piece, for every stitch holds a story.

As a company, we are focused on our people and they are our most valuable assets. Often we are witnessing lots of amazing career paths and opportunities to many of our teammates. Here is one we are sharing about our colleague and a friend, a team lead at one of our clients. This is her story.
Why Did You Choose Software Development as a Career?
I was always oriented towards problem-solving. I want to learn new things, expand my circle of knowledge, and improve myself. I envisioned my workplace as a place where I would not fall into a routine. I like to have challenges and work on solving real problems.
With that in mind, software development is the perfect choice. I started my career as a Junior Web Developer 5 years ago. I had the opportunity to work on projects with different backgrounds, but I found myself as a back-end developer.
I started my journey with Xessable a year and a half ago, as a developer. My previous experience has helped me to fit into the company and the project much easier.
Early On, What Was Most Challenging for You to Learn?
There were a couple of cases for new features to be added to an existing software, implemented in an older technology. I found it a bit difficult to learn because to me it felt like I was going a step backwards. I guess it took some effort to stay motivated.
Something You Wish You Had Known Previously
I wish I had known more about the business side of software development. Building software is much more than writing code.
What Did You Expect When You Joined Xessable?
A friend of mine once told me: “Always choose the most challenging and the most difficult one”. So, here I am?
It was a very big challenge and a change for me, and seemingly scary. I came across a wonderful working atmosphere and friendly people always willing to help, which of course contributes a lot in making someone feel comfortable.
What Excites and Energizes You About the Project/Client/Company?
I am working on a smart online booking system for a Dutch client with a focus on the leisure industry. It enables customers to have a unique and complete experience with the possibility of making a multi-activity booking which is scheduled automatically.
It is an exciting and complex project. I had a chance to research, learn and implement lots of new stuff even though I knew almost nothing about it at the time, which I found important for my professional growth.
Also, it is great to be surrounded by enthusiastic and positive colleagues, where everyone strives for growth and quality, and I feel motivated in such an environment. It is nice to see how something we are all working on brings success to the clients, that pushes me forward.
What Is Expected of a Team Leader?
As a team leader, it is expected to look out for team members’ welfare and guard stress levels and happiness within the team. Mentorship is also part of the role – identifying knowledge gaps, thus arranging team-specific training/knowledge-sharing sessions.
It is also the responsibility of the team to identify the team’s strengths and weaknesses which can help in proper dividing of the work between team members. Furthermore, handling incidents on the part of the system is managed by the team.
What Is Your Secret Ingredient in Making Sure Projects and Tasks Stay on Schedule?
Good communication. Communication is crucial for a team to succeed. Having regular check-ins helps to early identify any impediments and overcome those on time.
Even if it is difficult to work with teams and people in different locations, especially now when everybody is working remotely, it works pretty well for us.
The Significance of Feedback Is Essential. Why Is It Important in Your Team?
Constructive feedback is important, as it enhances professional and personal growth. It helps in building confidence and creating a transparent and collaborative atmosphere where everyone can speak their mind. It strengthens the relationships between team members and helps in clarifying expectations, so we all remain aligned to the team goals.
What Is the Best Part of Being a Woman in This Industry?
Working in the tech industry is interesting and dynamic. It is a profession with limitless possibilities – you can always keep moving forward. I don’t think gender makes much of a difference at all, even though there is a lack of women in technology. If you are passionate about your career, just go for it!
Who Is Your Icon in the Industry, Your Role Model?
I don’t have someone I would consider as my role model. I have been finding inspirational people everywhere. Many people in our environment are doing great things and helping the greater good, who are just regular people, and I admire them.
What Advice Would You Give to Young Enthusiasts?
Always tend to be the best version of yourself and surround yourself with great people.

In Part I of this series I explained the risks that investors are compensated for when they invest in Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities. Since GNMAs are backed by the full faith and credit pledge of the United States government, the primary risks that investors in GNMA securities should be concerned with are pre-payment risk and extension risk.
Some of the major factors that influence pre-payment risk and extension risk include the level of interest rates, the historical path of interest rates, housing turnover, the aging of loans, seasonality, and consumer credit conditions. I’ll focus on a few of these factors.
With interest rates having been so low for so long, investors in GNMA securities should be focused on extension risk today. If interest rates rise, fewer homeowners are likely to refinance their mortgages at higher interest rates. This will extend the average maturity of GNMA securities. So the maturity of GNMAs have the potential increase just as interest rates are rising. Neither factor is bullish for GNMAs.
Offsetting the potential headwind from rising rates is the fact that housing turnover remains depressed and credit conditions in the mortgage market have been tight. Even with the Fed holding interest rates at zero for years and buying trillions-of-dollars-worth of long-bonds, tighter underwriting standards have kept mortgage originations below what would have historically been expected based on the interest rate environment. If rising rates are accompanied by an improving economy, we might expect housing turnover to pick up and mortgage originations to accelerate. These factors would tend to offset the negative effect that rising interest rates might have on the pre-payment rate of GNMA securities.
Don’t get me wrong, rising rates would still be a headwind for GNMA securities, but maybe not to the extent that they would be if housing turnover and mortgage originations were already booming.
With the risk of rising interest rates uncertain the question, as always, is how are investors in GNMA securities being compensated for the potential risk of an increase in interest rates? According to the Merrill Lynch GNMA index, GNMA securities offer a yield of 2.53% today. Nothing to brag about, but compared to Treasury securities they offer a fair yield advantage. As a component in a well-diversified fixed income portfolio, Vanguard GNMA has a role to play.

I was cruelly led to believe when I was young that Valentine’s Day was reserved ONLY for those closest to us—that it was weird to wish strangers or acquaintances a Happy Valentine’s Day. That would be equal to telling them I love them. But aren’t we suppose to love others?
Of course, I’m bringing up Valentine’s Day because it’s February, the month for Valentines, and it’s a BIG deal… bigger than just flowers or dinner with that special someone. I may have shared this story with you before, but when my wife and I got married in 1990, we revealed to all in attendance words that would convey our LOVE for each other. Some of those words included:
Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hope, and always perseveres
When you read these words, it sure sounds like love is NOT reserved for just those close to us but rather it’s a verb lived out on and for others. Others being anyone and everyone. I’m so proud of my team for buying into and adapting in action LOVE towards clients, prospects, vendors and even our competition. I’m confident this is why we have been recognized as the real estate sales team others measure themselves by.
So the secret to our success is pretty much summed up in this month’s newsletter theme: L-O-V-E. Not as a noun, but as a VERB. In fact, when we find ourselves with a decision to make, it’s pretty much impossible to go wrong filtering through this question: What does love require of me?
We do love helping people sell and buy the place they call home. We love helping our past clients (who are never really past clients) increase their wealth investing in real estate. We love giving a portion of our income and time to Worthy Causes. I love watching team members grow both personally and professionally. I love competitors as it makes us better at helping others get what they want. And people say we are better than good at doing just that! And we work each day to SHOW love toward everyone. It is what is required of us (our belief system).
We are on a mission to raise $25,000 for Children’s Health Care of Atlanta. We do this by donating to them a portion of our income from the homes we sell. As you know Children’s Health Care of Atlanta does awesome work in helping kids fight through and survive nasty life-threatening diseases like cancer, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, and others. They also lead the way in early diagnosis of Autism and rapid recovery from spinal cord injuries.

Survey: business owners do not want to make English an official language
Just one in ten small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owner wants to make English an official language in Finland, the most recent Yrittäjägallup survey shows
Among SME owners, the most support for official status for English was among companies employing more than ten people (15%), industry (14%), and among business owners aged under 40 (14%). The least support was in northern Finland (5%).
The Yrittäjägallup survey was answered by 1,080 representatives of micro-enterprises and SMEs between 3 and 12 June. Of the respondents, 45% were single-person business owners.
One of the people to have proposed official status for English is Jouko Pölönen, CEO of the insurer Ilmarinen, this spring. Pölönen believed that making English an official language would strengthen Finland’s position in the international competition for international talent.
“Business owners do not see official status for English as a solution that would increase labour migration. We need immigrants who will come here and work, but other solutions have to be found for that,” says Mikael Pentikäinen, CEO of Suomen Yrittäjät, the Finnish SME association.
“A good solution is to provide services in English — public and private — but just as important is investment in teaching and learning Finnish and Swedish.
“When you speak the languages spoken in Finland, it’s easier to integrate here and your threshold for staying in Finland is lower. More of an emphasis should be made on Finnish and Swedish skills when selecting and educating foreign students. When you can speak the national languages of Finland, you can find work more easily and make a home for yourself here more smoothly.”
Read the results in more detail here.
How the survey was conducted
A total of 1,080 representatives of SMEs responded to the survey, conducted by Veriana on behalf of Suomen Yrittäjät, between 3 and 12 June 2024.
The confidence interval for the survey results is ±3.1 percentage points.

The Best Heavy-Duty Door Bolts A Guide to Security and Durability
When it comes to securing your home or business, choosing the right hardware is crucial. One of the most effective ways to enhance the security of your doors is by installing heavy-duty door bolts. These robust locking mechanisms not only provide an additional layer of protection but also ensure longevity and durability. In this article, we'll explore the features to look for in heavy-duty door bolts and recommend some of the best options available on the market.
Understanding Heavy-Duty Door Bolts
Heavy-duty door bolts are designed to withstand significant force and resist tampering. They are frequently made from strong materials like stainless steel or hardened steel, which makes them more resistant to rust and corrosion. Unlike standard door locks that may be susceptible to picking or bumping, heavy-duty bolts offer a solid barrier to unauthorized entry.
Key Features to Consider
1. Material The material plays a critical role in the strength and durability of the bolt. Look for bolts made from solid brass, stainless steel, or other high-quality materials that resist weathering and physical damage.
2. Size and Length The size of the bolt is essential for security. A longer, thicker bolt typically offers better protection as it penetrates deeper into the door frame. Measure your door and frame to ensure a good fit.
3. Type of Bolt There are several types of heavy-duty door bolts, including surface-mounted, mortise, and vertical bolts. Surface-mounted bolts are easier to install and can be added to existing doors, while mortise bolts are embedded into the door for a more seamless look. Vertical bolts provide additional security for double doors.
4. Ease of Use While security is paramount, usability shouldn't be overlooked. Look for bolts that are easy to operate from the inside while also providing a robust locking mechanism for the outside.
5. Weather Resistance If you live in an area with harsh weather conditions, it's vital to choose bolts that can withstand the elements. Look for products that feature corrosion-resistant coatings and are designed for outdoor use.
1. Schlage B60N Deadbolt Known for its strength and durability, this deadbolt is ideal for external doors. Made from solid brass, it is designed to resist picking and features a high-security rating.
2. Defender Security U 10813 Sliding Door Bolt This heavy-duty bolt is perfect for sliding doors, adding an extra layer of security. It features a durable construction and is easy to install.
3. National Hardware V1976 Heavy-Duty Sliding Bolt This bolt is designed for both doors and gates. Its robust construction ensures that it stands up to heavy use, and it includes a secure locking mechanism.
4. Prime-Line Products E 2465 Door Bolt This surface-mounted bolt is an excellent addition to any door, providing ease of installation and reliability. Its durable construction ensures that it can withstand the elements.
Investing in heavy-duty door bolts is a wise decision for anyone looking to enhance the security of their property. With various options available, it's essential to choose bolts that meet your specific needs in terms of material, size, and type. By prioritizing durability and security features, you can ensure that your doors are well-protected against unauthorized access. Remember, the first line of defense in securing your home or business often starts with the right door hardware.

Saltwater pools are a popular option for in-ground pool owners. They are preferred for their gentle approach to pool care. But let’s be clear, saltwater pool care still requires chlorine to sanitize the water. A saltwater pool converts salt to unstabilized chlorine that dissipates quickly and therefore requires regular water balancing and maintenance to keep your water sparkling and your equipment protected.
We know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry: it’s easy. And it doesn’t take a lot of time.
The point of a pool is maximizing fun, and with the BioGuard SaltScapes Saltwater Pool Care System, you can do just that. Even better, you’ll be having fun with sparkling water and protected pool equipment.
BioGuard SaltScapes Program Steps
Get BioGuard SaltScapes started right in five easy steps:
- Add SaltScapes SunShield Stabilizer directly to the water. One five-pound bag will treat up to 20,000 gallons of water. Your salt cell generates unstabilized chlorine that diminishes rapidly when exposed to UV rays, but SaltShield protects the generated chlorine, allowing it to last longer.
- Add the appropriate amount of salt. Each salt-chlorine generator needs a different level, so check your owner’s manual (or ask us). If you’re using a Pentair Intellichlor, 3,200 parts per million (ppm) is needed. On average, one bag of salt per 10,000 gallons of water will increase salt by 480 ppm.
- Add one bottle per 20,000 gallons of water of SaltScapes Algae Remover. Because algae can bloom in saltwater pools, it’s important to eradicate it before it has a chance, and this product kills all types of algae.
Allow your water to circulate for a few days, then begin balancing the water.
- Use a water bottle (or similar) to scoop up about a half pint of water from the pool. Do this away from the skimmer and return jets and make sure to dip down at least elbow-deep.
- Bring the water sample to any one of our locations for free testing. We’ll run it through the BioGuard Alex Water Test System. If the water is out of balance, we’ll give you detailed recommendations as to how to balance your water.
Saltwater Pool Maintenance
Now that you’re all set up and your water is balanced and your family and friends are enjoying the pool, it’s a matter of maintaining the pool.
Every week, you should:
- Add one bag of BioGuard OxySheen per 10,000 gallons of water to remove contaminants from the water that aren’t removed by chlorine alone.
- Add one ounce per 5,000 gallons of SaltScapes Algae Remover to prevent algae blooms.
- Test the water, keeping in mind it’s common for saltwater pools to have a high pH due to how the chlorine is produced. We may suggest using SaltScapes pH Decreaser to balance the water if the pH is too high.
Every month, you should:
- Add one bottle of SaltScapes Scale Defender per 10,000 gallons of water. Add it directly to the water with the pump running. Scale Defender binds to calcium-based scale crystals and prevents them from gathering and clumping on your pool surfaces, salt cell, and heat exchanger.
- Test the Stabilizer level and maintain a minimum of 30 ppm.
Every year, while you winterize your pool in the fall, you should acid-clean the cell in your chlorine generator.
Optional but highly recommended, BioGuard Optimizer is a polishing agent for water molecules. Essentially, it removes the jagged edges from water, making it smoother and less likely to have algae attach to it. This product is only added to your pool water once and then additional doses are only needed as you add new water to your pool.
With proper setup and routine maintenance, your saltwater pool will give you season after season of sparkly, clean water and endless fun. That is why you bought it, right?

Ecology progresses slowly when we have to study natural populations or communities. It is expensive to manipulate large units of habitat, and there are two approaches that suggest themselves to alleviate this problem. First, study small areas that can be analysed and manipulated by one or two persons. This can be a useful approach, depending on your question and hypotheses, and I do not discuss this approach here. The second approach is through experimental model systems. Typically this means taking the question or problem into a semi-laboratory system. For aquatic studies it may mean putting large cylinders in a lake (Carpenter 1996). For rodent studies it may mean putting populations into small fenced enclosures. For sake of clarity I will discuss this latter example with which I am familiar.
The key question for all experimental model systems in ecology is to know at what spatial and temporal scale the system works. To gain precision we typically want to conduct our studies within an enclosure of some small size. That is, we wish to study an open system with more precision by converting it to a closed system of some much smaller size. But what size allows the system to operate as an open natural population, in this example of rodents? In a sense we wish to know the shape of this generalized curve:
Assume there is some natural outcome known for the particular study. In the case of small rodents this might be that the population fluctuates in periodic ‘cycles’. The question then is what size of enclosure is needed to observe this same population trend. One simple way of looking at this is to ask for islands, what size of island allows a closed population to fluctuate in ‘cycles’. For this particular problem we know that you cannot observe ‘cycles’ in small rooms in the laboratory or even in 1 ha field enclosures.
Many other examples can be given for this type of question in ecology. For example, we may know that infanticide in a particular species is rare in natural populations. But if we raise the same species in small cages in the laboratory, we may observe infanticide very commonly. We would conclude that this is not the natural state of this system, and thus decide that you could not draw conclusions about the frequency of infanticide by studying it in small cages.
The critical judgement is whether any experimental model system we design will mimic natural processes that occur in open, real world populations or communities. All too often in ecological studies we assume that the size of the enclosure or study area that we are using is “natural” and the conclusions will represent what happens in natural populations or communities. In an ideal world we would examine a series of sizes of our study enclosures to see the best one that mimics natural outcomes. But this cannot always be done for reasons of time and money. In some cases we have no idea what the natural situation is, and in these cases it is most difficult to know if our model system results bear any relationship to reality.
This whole issue is another way of looking at the problem of habitat fragmentation – how small a piece of habitat can we get by with to conserve species X or community Y? These types of conservation questions always involve a temporal as well as a spatial dimension, given the problem of extinction debts (Krauss et al. 2010). In the extreme case we can argue that we can conserve at least some species in zoos, but this is a way of avoiding the main goal of conserving natural environments and processes.
The bottom line is to ask yourself as you are setting up a study using an experimental model system approach whether the process you are investigating can be observed at the spatial and temporal scale you have available. Alternatively it may be important to try to construct the curve shown above for the system of interest. This question is important because some previous studies for any ecological system may have reached invalid conclusions because of a faulty spatial scale of the model system.

In the five weeks between now and the 2017 NBA Draft, a lot can, and most likely will, change — particularly in the realm of opinions on the potential impact of the most sought-after incoming rookies.
For the moment, it seems the likeliest scenario for one-year Kansas star Josh Jackson is heading to Philadelphia as the No. 3 pick and teaming up with a young core built around one-time Jayhawks center Joel Embiid.
Most around The Association assume Washington’s Markelle Fultz will go No. 1 to Boston (or to some team that trades an all-star in exchange for that slot) and the Lakers will take UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick. That leaves the 76ers, a team lacking in the productive guard department, with the choice between Jackson and what’s left of what is considered a great crop of point guards.
In a lottery reaction episode of [The Vertical Podcast with Chris Mannix], Jonathan Givony of Draft Express was asked which player makes sense for Philadelphia if it’s not a lead guard.
> “I think they really have to look at
> Josh Jackson,” Givony said, “and they
> have to bring him into their gym and
> figure out, ‘How far away is this guy
> from being a good shooter?'”
As those who followed KU’s 2016-17 season closely will recall, Jackson greatly improved his 3-point accuracy over the final few months of his brief time with the Jayhawks. The versatile 6-foot-8 forward from Detroit showed his biggest weakness wasn’t a completely lost cause by hitting 38.5% of his 3-pointers in January, 47.8% in February and 40% in March.
> “If you can get him some good looks
> and you can continue to develop his
> stroke,” Givony said of why Jackson
> made sense for the Sixers, after
> referencing his late-season surge. “In
> the NBA not everybody comes in as a
> finished product.”
We have no way of knowing whether Philadelphia coach Brett Brown and his staff would take this route, but Givony wondered whether Jackson could be persuaded into changing up his shooting mechanics with the endgame of adding an effective NBA-range 3-point shot to his arsenal.
> “People say great things about his
> work ethic. And he really does
> everything else,” Givony added. “He’s
> a phenomenal defender. He’s a great
> passer. He’s outstanding in
> transition. He can play a lot of
> different positions. You can play him
> off the ball — you can play him on the
> ball a little bit even. There’s a lot
> there with Josh Jackson. They need to
> look at him.”
Teams taking gambles in the NBA Draft is a June tradition, but selecting Jackson with the third overall pick wouldn’t qualify as a risk for the Sixers. The only unpredictability accompanying the 20-year-old prospect is his often-scrutinized jumper. No, it’s not a pure, fluid stroke — Jackson brings the ball down low and shows it a bit as he rises up on 3-pointers. But which is more likely: Jackson stinks from long range for his entire career or he works at it until it becomes a trusted part of his game?
Jackson is too competitive to take a complacent approach to owning a below-average 3-point shot, especially now that so many NBA teams value that real estate behind the arc more than ever. He’s not entering the league with a trustworthy 3-pointer, but I’d bet on him adapting into at least a serviceable long-distance threat sooner than later. Same goes for his 56.6% free-throw shooting as a college freshman.
Philadelphia would still have the ability via free agency or the trade market to go after the floor-balancing shooter it needs. No player available at No. 3 other than Jackson is entering the NBA with as complete a skill set. And a nucleus of Embiid, Ben Simmons, Dario Saric and Jackson with some to-be-determined guards (by the way: the Sixers get the Lakers’ pick next year, which is bound to be in the lottery) projects as one of the league’s up-and-coming teams, able to contend in the Eastern Conference for years to come.

Over time, people tend to accumulate things. Whether you’ve been spending time growing your own collection or you’ve inherited someone else’s belongings, you’re going to want to understand how much the items that you have are worth.
While you may be able to get a rough idea of the possibilities through some internet sleuthing, nothing can replace the eye of an expert, who will be able to determine exactly how much your item should be sold for. Below, you’ll learn some considerations to keep in mind when getting your collectibles appraised. Specifically, we’ll be discussing who should appraise your collectibles and what you can do with valued items if it’s not the right time to sell.
Who Should Appraise My Collectibles?
When determining where to get your collectibles appraised, there are a few guidelines to keep in mind. The first is the simplest: the person appraising your collectible shouldn’t have a financial interest in its value.
This is why you don’t want to get an item appraised at a pawn shop, for instance. While they’re willing to appraise it for free, they only do so in order to turn a profit themselves.
You’re going to get a more honest appraisal from a professional who charges you for the service. The exact price and payment setup will vary between appraisers, but it’s common for them to charge a flat fee. You’ll want to avoid appraisers who charge based on how much the items you bring in are worth; once again, you’re less likely to get an accurate appraisal because they have a financial interest in how much the item is appraised for.
While it’s most convenient to hire an appraiser, you may also want to see if there are any appraisal fairs in your area. The appraisers at these fairs often offer appraisals cheaply since they can perform more inspections in a single day when there are so many other interested customers.
What Should I Do With Valuables That I’m Not Ready To Sell?
Even if you have a valuable item, there are several reasons why it might not be the right time to sell. Maybe you need time to find the right buyer; maybe growing your collection a bit would make it significantly more valuable.
Regardless of the reason, you may be having difficulty storing your belongings at home. In that case, a storage unit can be an excellent solution. It gives you the space you need, and while you’re storing your collection, you may choose to use that space for other valuables that you don’t need year-round.

On 19 September, YONECO engaged men is various spaces to understand the factors that prevent them from participating in activities that are aimed at promoting gender equality and preventing Gender Based Violence (GBV) in their communities.
Most men indicated that they usually feel embarrassed as they are always perceived as people who are only capable of perpetrating violence. However, the men stated that they could also be part of the solution to the problem of gender imbalance and violence.
On the other hand, some men asserted that the government and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) only focus on rights of women and children leaving men behind despite the fact that they also face various forms of GBV. In addition to this, the men claimed that they usually opt for divorce or, in the worst case scenario, suicide because their concerns are not given the necessary attention.
Thus, YONECO sensitized the men on best ways of dealing with GBV, the importance of reporting and seeking help. The men were also made aware of various services which YONECO provide to all people including men and women.
The engagement sessions also focused on gender-related laws and YONECO presented the following statutes; the Gender Equality Act; Marriage Divorce Family Relations Act; as well as Child Care, Protection and Justice Act.
YONECO uses evidence-based programming in responding to issues that affect the youth, women and children in Malawi.

Anti Reflective Lenses vs. Reflective Lenses
Bright dazzling light can make it hard for you to see correctly besides being uncomfortable. You may be going through this several times during the day, which makes protecting your eyes a priority--this is where anti-reflective lenses come in.
Anti-glare glasses contain lenses that have an anti-reflective or anti-glare coating. This thin coating on the lens helps it remove reflections on your glasses' front and back surfaces. Anti-reflective (AR) lenses also help reduce light sources, which occurs at night.
The unique 'hydrophobic' surface treatment also helps repel water, prevents fogging, and makes your glasses easy to clean. If your glasses have reflective lenses, Z Clear glasses cleaner can help achieve similar durability, ease of cleaning, and waterproofing.
Below, we look at the benefits you stand to gain by enhancing your lenses with an anti-reflective coating to help get the difference between anti-reflective lenses and reflective lenses:
Enhance your appearance
AR coatings help remove harsh reflections from your lenses so that other people can have a clear view of your eyes. You can be sure your eyes take center stage when posing for a selfie or having a live chat with your friends.
Increase your visual clarity
AR coatings transform your view of the world by allowing more light into your eyes while fading off the glare; this helps you have a clear vision while working or driving.
Protect your eyes from UV rays and blue light
AR coatings protect your eyes from the sun's UV rays, which can cause damage. AR lenses also help reduce eye strain by reducing your exposure to high energy visible light or blue light. Blue light can make your eyes feel tired after spending time in front of a computer or TV.
Extend the life of your lenses
Your glasses can suffer from scratches when you wipe them using sanitary papers or the edge of your shirt. AR coatings help protect your glasses from scratches and smudges, which can increase their lifetime—helping avoid frequent and costly replacements.
Give your glasses an anti-reflective coating and extended durability by cleaning them usingZ Clear glasses cleaner.

Gaudete! Rejoice! It’s the Rejoice Sunday in Advent! Wear your rose and pink. The rose candle is lit. The birth of the Savior is another week closer! What’s really great about this Sunday is how the theme is “rejoice” but we hear of John the Baptizer who is in prison. How do you rejoice in that? Faith clings to Jesus’ promise that all the signs He does point to Him as the Savior. Look to Jesus and hear His Word and you will know: He’s our Savior from sin and death! So rejoice! Wear pink! Tell the world that when it’s going crazy, we look to Jesus to be saved. That’s this weekend as we celebrate the Third Sunday in Advent.
Tomorrow is our LIVE NATIVITY from 4 PM to 7 PM. Stop by to see the Christmas story “live” and with live animals too! Children who come will receive a special gift! Then come inside to warm up in the gym with chili, hot chocolate and Christmas treats! And…
SATURDAY SERVICE WILL BE OUTSIDE AT THE MANGER. That’s right. It may be cold, but we’re going to gather at the manger tomorrow night (usual time, 6 PM) to receive Jesus’ gifts. It will be a shorter service with Communion. PLEASE NOTE: Only the Chalice will be used at this service. And again, afterward, come inside and warm up with some food and Christmas cheer!
This WEDNESDAY is our last ADVENT SUPPER at 5:30 PM and EVENING PRAYER WITH COMMUNION at 7 PM. Take some time out for receiving Christ’s gifts as we prepare for His birth.
Next Sunday, December 22, stick around after worship for our FAMILY CHRISTMAS SING ALONG AND PROGRAM. We’ll sing your favorite Christmas hymns and the children will tell the Christmas story. Everyone is invited. Also, we’ll be going CHRISTMAS CAROLING at 1 PM that Sunday. We’ll visit several homebound members and wrap up with supper provided at the Sundells’, our last stop.
Once again, our Christmas worship schedule is as follows:
Christmas Eve: 3PM, 7PM, and 11 PM. (same service; with candlelight).
Christmas Day: 9 AM
New Year’s Eve: 7 PM
NOTE: No Wednesday evening services on December 25 and January 1.
Don’t forget our Zion Family Giving Tree in the narthex. Can you spare something to help two church and school families this Christmas? Take a tag from the tree and bring back your gift by Sunday, December 22. Thank you!
Did John have doubts about Jesus? Those doubts were stilled by Jesus’ words and promises. He stills our doubts too that the devil, world, and flesh drive upon us. He clears them away and shines the light of His forgiveness, light, and salvation upon us. See you in the Divine Service this weekend!
See you in the Divine Service this weekend!

Built in 1953 by Hal Braxton Hayes, the property was purchased by NBA player Carlos Boozer in 2004 who went on to rent it to the legendary musician. Prince then ended up converting the property into his own purple palace. The pop icon turned the pro basketball player’s gym into a disco, changed a bedroom into a hair salon, painted purple stripes across the façade, installed purple carpet and even replaced the gold lions that adorned the front gates with his “Artist Formerly Known As” symbol.
He also held numerous live concerts and parties at the property, which, with its expansive patios and panoramic city-to-ocean views, was uniquely suited to entertaining. Prince assured Boozer that when the lease was up, the mansion would look like he’d never been there, and he even wired the athlete $500,000 to ease his mind.
True to his word, the artist’s outlandish furnishings were removed, and, today, the mansion exudes understated elegance. The main residence boasts 10 bedrooms and 13 baths, along with all manner of grand amenities, including a ballroom, wine room, rooftop tennis court, gym and indoor sports court, a four-car garage, a pool with a swim-up bar and waterslide and a secretive grotto.
Not to be completely upstaged, the second 3,300-square-foot residence located at 1255 Sierra Alta Way boasts a fully appointed, high-end kitchen, bar and billiards room, den, spa, a two-car garage and, of course, its own pool.
Ready to call the palace your own? The estate can be purchased for $30 million via The Oppenheim Group. If that’s a little too steep, you can do as Prince did and rent the main residence for $80,000 a month. Just don’t get any grand ideas about painting the walls.

Unveiling Your True Self: Black Cat or Golden Retriever?
The Test That Tells You Everything (Well, Maybe Not Everything)
Ever felt like you're stuck between two personalities? One minute you're all about adventure and exploring new territory, the next you're craving cozy nights in with a good book. If this sounds familiar, you might be a classic example of the age-old "Black Cat or Golden Retriever" personality dichotomy.
My Personal Journey:
My own journey with this test started in college. Surrounded by a sea of seemingly confident extroverts, I felt like a complete outlier. I craved deep conversations and quiet moments, but I also yearned for the exhilarating energy of social gatherings. It wasn't until a friend introduced me to the Black Cat or Golden Retriever test that I finally understood my own unique mix.
The Black Cat: Independent and Mysterious
The Black Cat represents the introverted, analytical, and often enigmatic side of our personalities. They are deep thinkers, sensitive souls, and fiercely independent. Think of the iconic feline - aloof yet captivating, reserved yet powerful.
The Golden Retriever: Loyal and Energetic
On the flip side, the Golden Retriever embodies the extroverted, playful, and loyal side. They are brimming with enthusiasm, always ready for adventure, and deeply devoted to their loved ones. Just like the beloved canine, they exude warmth and joy, lighting up every room they enter.
Objectively Speaking: Research and Insights
While the Black Cat or Golden Retriever test isn't officially recognized by any psychological institution, it taps into a universal human experience - the internal struggle between our introverted and extroverted tendencies. Psychologists have long recognized these two distinct personality types, with studies demonstrating how they influence our social interactions, decision-making, and even our preferred work environments.
The "Black Cat" Traits:
- Introversion: Prefers solitary activities, enjoys quiet time, and recharges by being alone.
- Analytical: Thinks deeply, loves solving problems, and enjoys complex discussions.
- Independent: Values personal space, makes decisions independently, and seeks solitude.
The "Golden Retriever" Traits:
- Extroversion: Enjoys social gatherings, thrives in group settings, and gets energized by being around people.
- Playful: Has a lighthearted approach to life, loves having fun, and brings joy to others.
- Loyal: Dedicated to loved ones, prioritizes strong relationships, and is always willing to help.
Finding Your Balance:
The beauty of this test lies in its simplicity. It doesn't force you into a rigid box but allows you to explore and embrace the multifaceted nature of your personality. It acknowledges that we all have both a Black Cat and a Golden Retriever within us.
Here are a few tips to navigate your unique blend:
- Embrace both sides: Don't suppress one side for the other. Find ways to express both your introverted and extroverted tendencies.
- Identify your triggers: Pay attention to what situations bring out each side of your personality. Understanding your triggers allows you to better manage your energy levels.
- Seek balance: Create a life that fulfills both your need for solitude and connection. This might involve scheduling time for solo activities and social events.
My journey with the Black Cat or Golden Retriever test has taught me to embrace the complexities of my personality. It has shown me that there is no right or wrong answer, only different ways of experiencing the world. So, what are you? Are you a Black Cat, a Golden Retriever, or a wonderful blend of both? Take the test, discover your unique blend, and embrace the beautiful messiness that is you!

English short status CPH expansion
D. 30.11. did the Danish Parliament (Folketinget) vote on law L19, which gave Copenhagen Airport in Kastrup unimpeded access to increase the number of passengers from the current almost 30 million passengers to 40 or even 55 million passengers.
The law came without an assessment of the climate damage that the expansion will indiscriminately cause. Votes were 91 in favour of the law (and the expansion) and 17 against.
We have from Bevar Jordforbindelsen (Stay Grounded, Denmark) done everything we could to slow down the law, and not least to hold the politicians accountable for the consequences of their completely unacceptable behaviour.
This was a black Thursday in the Danish climate struggle. But we will not give up to bring attention to the unsustainable aviation sector and to bring some basic knowledge into the debate on aviation.

Patterdale Terrier (Fell Terrier)
Breed Group: Not AKC Recognized
Weight: 11-13 lbs
Height: 12 inches
Color(s): Usually black, however other colors include red; liver (with a red nose); grizzle, black & tan; bronze
The Patterdale Terrier, sometimes called the "Black Fell Terrier," is not as high energy as some other terriers, but don't be fooled, he is still a lively fellow. This dog was originally bred for hunting or ratting so he still possesses those instincts, which makes him not for the average family.
Character - Temperament
The Patterdale Terrier is a hunting companion so does not do well with smaller animals. If you are not looking for a challenging breed that will chase at the sight of any mammal, this breed is not for you. He loves to dig and will go after anything that moves.
Willing to please, loyal, and intelligent, the Patterdale Terrier has a strong hunting instinct that regularly leads him off. This breed should always be kept on a lead or a fenced in area, as he can be difficult to catch when he gets going. Very independent, yet can be loving.
Care - Coat
As this breed has such a short coat, minimal grooming is needed to keep the Patterdale Terrier in tiptop shape. Brushing with a firm bristle or rubber brush will remove excess hair. This breed does love to dig so be sure to clean his feet before coming inside.
The Patterdale Terrier, usually seen in black, has a short and broken coat. The coat should always remain coarse. There is also the wire variety.
The Patterdale Terrier can be very difficult to train. He has a very short attention span and if given the opportunity, will bolt at the first sign of movement. A firm and experienced handler is a must if this breed is to become properly trained.
The Patterdale Terrier requires regular exercise, and should not remain without a fenced yard. If left in a yard unsupervised, he can dig underneath the fence. The fence should be firm in the ground, and high enough so he cannot jump it to find game.

19th to 21st June - Capo di Pula to Cagliari (the big fight)
Sun 21 Jun 2009 22:46
capital of Sardinia. We had made reservations at Marina del Sole which
was highly recommended in the pilot book as a friendly family run marina.
Initial impressions were good as we were met and escorted to a berth.
However, we soon discovered that the place is a complete dump and several
other "livaboard" boats around us very unfriendly. The toilets/showers
are in tented portacabins and not particularly clean, many of the wooden
planks on the pontoon are loose, the marina office is a tip and the marina
itself is a 2km walk from the town. It is cheaper than elsewhere we have
stayed but at €43 a night it is still not particularly cheap.
The afternoon was spent boat cleaning and both Jackie and Ian did an
excellent job which left Bali Hai spotless in anticipation of the critical
eyes of John and Rob (although perhaps a critical "black" eye in John's
case). John and Rob arrived at around 7:30 and despite all the posturing
the "Big Fight" never got going. Ian had just got his hands around John's
throat when the authorities arrived and rounded them and the rest of the
crew up for causing an affray. After a brief visit to the local
magistrate they were all sentenced to a period of hard labour aboard Bali
In the evening we headed in to town for something to eat. It was all
pretty disappointing as everything was rather grotty and we ended up being
ripped off in a Cuban restaurant that John plumped for after everyone else
had been too indecisive.
On Saturday we woke to a warm sunny day with a good breeze. It would have
been good sailing weather but instead we headed up to inspect the town.
The guide books were all very complementary about Cagliari and despite our
initial impressions; the old town is actually very pleasant with lots of
character. Il Castello, the white walled medieval town, is set on a hill
and with lots of walking in the afternoon heat (when sensible Cagliarians
are having a siesta) everyone was pretty exhausted by the end of the day.
We decided to eat locally, in a boat converted into a pizzeria followed by
an early night.
Jackie and Ian were leaving Sunday morning. It was a pleasure having them
on board and their ability to sail the boat unaided made life so much
When they did leave was blowing a Force 8 gale in the marina - so Jackie
can no longer complain that they did not see any good winds during their
trip! Strong winds are also forecast to continue all week and so the
sailing should be quite good - although we may not make it out of Cagliari

I am here, alive and…training. A lot has happened since I stopped blogging. I didn’t mean to stop I was traveling for work and had no time and then I was traveling for my birthday and just, got out of the habit. It didn’t help that two people who worked for me left and we haven’t hired anyone yet. But enough of the excuses I want to be better at blogging because I really want to record the journey that Cory(hubby) and I are starting. While I was MIA We signed up for a halfiron man, I am beyond excited. We also signed up for a marathon in May, I love this marathon and have wanted to do it ever since I wanted my brother finish it two years ago (have I mentioned that I am the only one in my family that hasn’t completed multiple marathons?). So far our race list for winter/spring looks like this:
December 4th: Pueblo’s Rock Canyon Half Marathon (maybe)
December 18th: Rudolph’s Revenge 5K
January 1st: Bad Ass Half Marathon
January 15th: Frosty’s Frozen 5 Miles
February 19th: Snowman Stampede 10 Miles
May 1st: Colorado Marathon!!
June 4th: Boulder Sunrise Olympic triathlon
June 25th: Pacific Crest Half ironman
October 2nd: The Bear Chase Race 50K
We obviously need some races between June and October but we will figure those out later.
The last few months I haven’t just been sitting around, I have (mostly) healed from my knee injury and am now focusing on training for a couple half marathons that are coming up. My training plan looks something like this:
Long Run (10+ miles)
am: Lift Class
pm: Interval Run
am: Lift Class
pm: recovery Swim/run
Race pace or tempo run and swim
Long bike ride (30+ miles)
There are a few issues with it, I am only riding twice a week and one of those is a spin class and I am only running 3 maybe four times a week. When we start training for the marathon I would like to be running at least 4 to 5 times a week. I would also like to be swimming and biking 3 times a week each. I just can’t seem to make it all fit and have a recovery day that Cory keeps reminding me that we need. Stay tuned for our half ironman/marathon plan starting in January.

Hello, My name is mike. I am about to start school on oct 5. I have a wife and three kids.
We live in maryland. As I was reading through your site, some questions arose, hopefully someone will be willing to answer. This job keep you from your family? as in travel constantly? does anyone live in the same general area as I that could feed me some info on the jobs and companies in this area?
Dude, if you love your family, back out of the dream. Most don't make it and few stay in it. This game is very hard to break in to, and is not family friendly. If you have strong family support, people who will help your wife and nurture your kids, you will have a better chance. Being a commercial diver means missing birthdays, your wife will have to mow the lawn and take out the trash. You won't be making much money starting out so that will put a burden on those who count on you. It can be dangerous work, you WILL get injured. You WILL cry when one of your buddies gets killed.
On the flip side. You will make some of the best friends you ever had. People will risk there lives for you, loan you money, protect your family and things. When you meet new people and they ask you what you do for a living, there eyes will light up and ask you all kinds of questions. You can make more money than engineers, and travel all over the world. See amazing, beautiful things that you can't get from any book or video about nature.
This job isn't for the light hearted. You'll find yourself changing in good and bad ways. You will find most people to be contemptible. You will have to move several times in your life, because diving companies are undependable and the work is fickle.
James I appreciate the info. gives me alot to think about i guess. However my wife stands behind me 110% as well as my parents so I will definitely attend the school. I always have my buisness to fall back on.
Starting out as a tender is tough, looking at 3-5 years to break out. The work has slowed down in the GOM considerably. Rumor is next year will be worse. May not be the best time to get in the bussiness.

4 Things You Need To Know About Vehicle-Related Drug Possession
Were you arrested because drugs were found in your vehicle? If so, you may feel understandable panic -- but don't assume the worst just yet. A skilled drug defense attorney can help you understand your position and rights so you can get the fairest possible treatment from the legal system. Here are four helpful tidbits of information to help get you up to speed on your situation.
1. You Might Be Able To Get Your Car Back
Any vehicle associated with an alleged crime can impounded by the prosecution as evidence. That doesn't mean that you can't get it back, but it does mean that you're going to have to jump through some judicial and administrative hoops to do so. In fact, once upon a time, it could take years to retrieve a car seized as evidence in a criminal case. This nightmare scenario was eliminated in 2004 via a precedent known as Krimstock v. Kelly, and today the defendant has a right to challenge the prosecution's impoundment request within 10 business days of the impoundment.
Your drug defense attorney will secure and fill out the proper form for filing this request. Contesting the seizure of your vehicle forces the prosecution to prove its need to hang onto the vehicle for the purposes of the case. But there's always the chance that the judge may rule that your car needs to stay put until the case is resolved.
2. Your Fourth Amendment Rights Can Save You
If drugs are openly visible in your car when the police pull you over, those officers may have every right to seize the drugs. They can also search the rest of the vehicle with your permission. But that doesn't mean they can simply break into your trunk over your protest. This act would be considered unlawful search and seizure, against which citizens are protected under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
If the arresting officers are foolish enough to search your vehicle without permission, any drugs they find in the course of that search are legally inadmissible as evidence against you. If those drugs are the only drugs found at the scene, the prosecution has no leverage, and your case will probably be dismissed.
3. You Might Be Able to Carry Medical Marijuana in Your Car
The presence of recreational marijuana in your vehicle can definitely be grounds for a possession-based arrest -- but what if you're legally prescribed that marijuana for medical purposes? In states that sanction it, medical marijuana can be prescribed for everything from glaucoma and neuropathy to Crohn's disease. 23 states (plus Washington D.C.) currently have some provision for legal medical marijuana sale, possession and usage. But medical marijuana is governed by some serious strictures, so can you carry it in your vehicle? The answer is, "It depends."
The first thing you must keep in mind is that if you're driving to (or through) another state, that state's particular marijuana laws apply to you. If you're pulled over in a state where there is no allowance for medical marijuana, then you can be arrested for possession of an illegal drug -- prescription or no prescription. Even within a pharmaceutically-friendly state, you may be subject to strict transportation rules. For example, Californians can only transport medical marijuana if they're delivering it to a patient or helping a patient relocate.
4. The Prosecution Must Prove "Controlled Possession"
It's one thing for the police to claim that you met someone in your car to negotiate a drug deal and quite another for them prove that you actually took possession of the drugs and transported them in your own vehicle. For instance, if you unknowingly arranged a meeting with an undercover officer who arrested you before transferring the drug to your person or vehicle, then you never assumed "controlled possession" of the drug. If you never possessed the drugs while your car was in motion, your drug defense attorney will also note that you weren't driving while in possession of drugs.
As you can see, vehicular drug possession laws and rules can present fairly complex legal scenarios -- and under certain circumstances, those "shades of gray" can work in the accused's favor. Talk to your drug defense attorney about the details and subtleties of your individual case. For more information, contact a local firm like Kassel & Kassel A Group of Independent Law Offices.

Latent Backdoor Attacks on Deep Neural Networks
Backdoor attacks on deep neural networks (DNNs) are hidden malicious behaviors embedded into DNN models, where misclassification rules are hidden inside normal models, only to be triggered by very specific inputs. When models are compromised, extremely dangerous consequences might happen since DNNs are widely deployed in safety and security-critical areas like self-driving cars. However, these “traditional” backdoors assume a context where users train their own models from scratch, which rarely occurs in practice. Instead, users typically customize “Teacher” models which are pretrained by model providers like Google, through a process called transfer learning. This customization process introduces significant changes to models and disrupts hidden backdoors, greatly reducing the actual impact of backdoors in practice. In this study, we describe latent backdoors, a more powerful and stealthy variant of backdoor attacks that functions under transfer learning. Latent backdoors are incomplete backdoors embedded into a “Teacher” model, and automatically inherited by multiple “Student” models through transfer learning. If any Student models include the label targeted by the backdoor, then its customization process completes the backdoor and makes it active. We show that latent backdoors can be quite effective in a variety of application contexts, and validate its practicality through real-world attacks against traffic sign recognition, iris identification of volunteers, and facial recognition of public figures (politicians). Finally, we evaluate 4 potential defenses, and find that only one is effective in disrupting latent backdoors, but might incur a cost in classification accuracy as tradeoff.

The storage room had not been updated in many, many years and was definitely in need of some freshening up. After some calls to our local home improvement stores, we were excited to get a donation of materials from Lowe's. They donated whiteboard paint, magnetic paint & chalkboard paint. They even mixed a special "Roo Blue" chalkboard paint for us.
In addition to this donation, we were also very appreciative of Home Depot's donation of paint and painting supplies. We were ready to prep and paint! As you can see by the pictures, there were several Curtis faculty members who gave up some of their Spring Break to help with this Makerspace Makeover! We even had the father of one of our teachers come and paint the wall of shelves and how much better do they look!?!?!
Here are some more pictures of the transformation! I can't wait to see the students' faces when they see their new space!

There are some people in the world who go to work, do their jobs and go home. Others take those jobs to whole new level entirely. We, as a family, could not be more thankful that our mother was in your loving hands at Catholic Memorial Home. We thank you for the care that was so beautifully provided. When you carefully wiped our mother’s face or spoke words of comfort, you may not have realized it, but your actions not only touched her, but in turn all of us. Words can hardly express what that means to all of us. I believe you all have a very special angel looking over you now. God bless.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you at Catholic Memorial Home. The dedication and care my Dad received exceeded all of our expectations of the care he would receive. Your consideration, compassion and your love and understanding will never be forgotten.
To all the caring staff at Catholic Memorial Home – we gratefully acknowledge the Memorial Mass offered for Mom’s soul. She was only a resident for eight days, but in that time, and at her death, she was treated with loving compassion and respect. We are very grateful to you all for your goodness.
"Love Made Visible." There could be no truer words to describe Catholic Memorial Home, especially the Alzheimer's Unit. My mom received the very best care by the nurses and CNAs during her stay. I witnessed first hand the attention and love that was readily given to her. But what touched me most was how my mother was cared for in the last days of her life. The entire staff showed unending compassion and patience to both my mother and myself. That they were with her at the end of her long journey on Earth, helping her take the next step into God's home, means the world to me. Catholic Memorial Home has given a beautiful gift to my mother and me and I will forever be thankful and sincerely grateful to you and all who cared so lovingly for my beloved mother.

The book Small Giants resonated with me in a way few business books ever have. Author Bo Burlingham defines small giants as “companies that choose to be great instead of big”, an idea near and dear to my heart.
As a young designer in Chicago, my employers and clients were small companies. At the time I wasn’t aware how special those early experiences and relationships were. The work seemed, frankly, boring and limiting. I was antsy to move on to bigger agencies and brands.
After relocating and landing in a Silicon Valley agency, I found myself deeply conflicted. My heart wasn’t in working for mainstream, consumer brands. I missed the thoughtfulness and intimacy of the work I had done before. I missed the sense of purpose gained from helping good people realize their dream of owning a thriving business. Words of wisdom from a long-forgotten designer echoed in my head: “There are no good projects, only good clients.”
After the agency collapsed, I struck out on my own. Eager to get back to “good clients”, I thought about what my favorites had in common. Here’s what I knew: They sold something of tangible value, and they did it honestly. They were fair to suppliers and partners. They were small and closely held, often family-owned. They treated employees with respect and generosity. They were local businesses — what defined that wasn’t clear, but I knew it when I saw it — and they supported community service and philanthropy. In short, the world was better with than without them.
This led me to a loose concept of social responsibility: doing business with integrity, giving back to the community, and treating people well. It also seemed being privately held was the key to being able to control everything else. Those became my four criteria for choosing clients ten years ago.
Finding Small Giants was inspiring and validating. Finally, a cogent description of what I’d intuitively understood but been unable to define! An entire book about the business unicorns I love! I now have a clearer sense of who the right clients for me are, and new insights into what to look for.
One idea that hadn’t previously gelled as part of my definition was limited growth — choosing to grow only when it serves strategic goals and doesn’t sacrifice culture or ideals. Growth has become such an unquestioned requirement of business that not growing is surprisingly radical.
Another insight was that “small” isn’t necessarily what makes my clients a good fit for me. It’s having a family culture, engaged leadership, and sense of purpose where I thrive. While it’s certainly easier to maintain those in a small company, there may be mid-sized companies that also fit this bill.
I also love the inclusion of soul, or mojo, that Burlingham cites as a secret ingredient. Running counter to management playbooks and belief in predictive data, it acknowledges there is a special magic that allows a company to be intimately, deeply great. That I couldn’t concretely define what I loved about my clients makes sense — there is simply a quality. They either have it or they don’t, and no logic model can predict it.
Finding small giants is no easy feat. But with renewed inspiration and clarity, I look forward to seeking more of them as clients and also to doing my part to help aspiring small giants find their mojo.

Local landlords are welcome to become part of a network of peers who have agreed to rent to homeless or at-risk households, network with fellow landlords, and learn about the benefits of the Landlord Engagement Program.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - March 30, 2023 - PRLog -- -
Valley Youth House
3400 High Point Blvd
Bethlehem, PA 18017

According to Jill Seitz, a senior planner at the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission, there is a nationwide housing deficit not exclusive to the Lehigh Valley. Seitz was quoted in February 2023, stating that "the region has a shortage of over 90,000 housing units." (Lehighvalleynews.com). Marc Rittle, executive director at New Bethany, states that the Lehigh Valley in 2022 saw a 36% increase in the number of unhoused people. "For families and children, that's a 47% increase," he said.
With funding made available through the Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement (PHARE) grant, and additional funds from Wells Fargo and Housing Alliance, the Lehigh Valley Regional Homeless Advisory Board (LVRHAB) has launched the Landlord Engagement Program. LVRHAB is a consortium of individuals, agencies, and other stakeholders that direct and coordinate community-wide efforts toward ending chronic homelessness, preventing homelessness, and addressing housing insecurity.
The Landlord Engagement Program (LEP) offers local landlords the opportunity to be part of a group dedicated to helping homeless or at-risk households. Through housing advocate programs at Sixth Street Shelter, New Bethany, Lehigh Conference of Churches, Catholic Charities, Third Street Alliance, Turning Point of Lehigh Valley, and Valley Youth House, the LEP connects units made available through the program with those who need affordable housing. The program ensures guaranteed rental payment, reimbursement for property damage or missed rent, case management for tenants, and other supports. Units are offered to tenants at standard rental rates, and those tenants receive the right of first refusal before the vacancy goes public.
According to Associate Director of Housing & Emergency Services at Valley Youth House (https://www.valleyyouthhouse.org/), Michele Albright, "a steady supply of units is critical to the program's success. The Landlord Engagement Program represents a business opportunity for landlords with units, offering substantial benefits."
Landlords receive a $1,000 signing bonus for the first unit entered into the program, $500 for the second, and $250 for each additional unit. Money is also available for housing mitigation – to improve units made available for renters.
LVRHAB is hosting a Landlord Network Information Session for local landlords to meet one another and learn about the monetary support available to those who join the LVRHAB Landlord Network.
The program includes a presentation from Chuck Weiss, associate executive director of housing at Community Action Lehigh Valley, on weatherization, energy efficiency, and home repair programs. Guests will also hear from Yuslendy Zorrilla, Conference of Churches landlord navigator, about the LEP and its benefits and enjoy a Q&A session moderated by Michele Albright.
Landlords Mahan Sandhu, David Shields, and Demetrios Gouvalis will be honored as Landlord Network Community Champions with Congressional Commendation certificates from U.S. House Representative Susan Wild for their exceptional work in landlord engagement.
Attendees are invited to enjoy food and refreshments and enter for the chance to win a $100 Home Depot gift card.

I went into business with some friends from college and we now have a pretty successful company.
We are in the business of purchasing older buildings, renovating them, and then putting them back on the market.
We have been doing this for about five years now and it provides a really good income for each of us. I am the one who is responsible for finding, purchasing, and then marketing the properties for resale. Thankfully, my friends are the handy ones who do the bulk of the work. There are times when we need to contract out for a certain job but that doesn’t happen often. At the beginning of a project, we set a budget to ensure that we will make money. Afterall, as much as we like each other, no one wants to lose money. We recently purchased an older storefront downtown and wanted to renovate it into a space that could be used for a diner or restaurant. Everything was going great until the EPA inspector showed up. Do to the age of the building and the HVAC system that was installed, he said that the HVAC system no longer met the current standards for air quality. He informed us that the emissions that came from the system were so high that we would need to replace the entire thing. This expense was definitely not in the budget. Normally, when you purchase real estate, you have an inspector come in and access the structure, appliances, and overall condition. We buy most of the places without this so we can get a better price. This purchase is going to cost way more than we had planned because installing a commercial HVAC system is not cheap.

The Battle Formation is the way your Units are arranged on the Battle Field. It is very important because the formation might make the difference between victory and defeat. To make a good Formation a player must consider a lot factors. For example, you might want to consider range when making your Formations.
The Formation is used to maximize the strength of your Army in Battle.
Each Army has its own Formation which could be changed by the player. The Formation consists of 4 lines with 8 fields in each line. It is possible the Defender’s formation to contains a 5th line because of a Wall. The Wall is always on the 1st line. Units in the Formation are ordered by their range and power. In each field there may be a different number of Units of the same type. There may be fields and lines with no Units. When all of the Units from the 1st line are killed the Units behind them move ahead by one line. When the Attacker’s first line is intentionally empty, the first line containing Units is considered as such. When the Castle is Conquered or Abandoned, all created and saved Battle Formations, in that Castle, are deleted.
To create a Battle Formation go to the Army Menu and click on the button labeled “Army order”. Each player can have up to 10 Battle Formations stored. Formations can be created, saved and deleted. One of the Formations is considered Default.
You can save not only Formations but also entire Armies. This means that you save the amounts of each type of Unit as well as their Formation.
If you decide to use a previously saved Army setting (Battle Formation + Unit amounts) from the menu where the Army to be sent is chosen, you can keep the amounts of Units, but change the desired Formation from the next panel (the one where the destination coordinates and Motivation are assigned).
If you've saved an Army containing 100 Pikemen and 100 Swordsmen they are in a certain Formation. You can still use the predefined amounts of Units and not use the Formation saved. The Formation can be changed on the next screen.

Saw Kung Fu Panda 2 last night and yeah it wasn’t as good as the original, but it was still pretty good. I really enjoyed the action sequences in this one. Especially the first big one in the village. Awesome work. Big Big props to Gary Oldman and the animators who handled Shen. Loved him.

This paper is structured as follows: Section 2 describes related work in halal and nutrition. Data sources used in this system are explained in Section3. The design of vocabulary and inter linking between data sets can be found in Section4 and Section6 respectively. Our halal application is detailed in Section 7.
The life of a Muslim cannot be separated from the concept of halal in his daily life, especially in food. Indonesia is a country that its major population is Muslim. In Indonesia, Institute For Foods, Drugs, And Cosmetics Indonesian Council Of Ulama as known as LPPOM MUI is an organisation that provides halal food product information. However, lack of information is presented on LPPOM MUI site. Therefore, LODHalal, a Linked Open Data system for halal products is proposed. We introduce a halal vocabulary which extends two food vocabularies. Then, collected data from LPPOM MUI, E-Number, Open Food Facts are transformed to RDF. Also, the RDF data are connected to DBpedia, PubChem and Mesh. We develop a web application and an Android application which provides recommendations on the halal and nutritional status of a food product.
Title: Linked Open Data for Halal Food Products

Unlocking low cost renewables in South East Europe: case studies on de-risking onshore wind investment
This report explores how various political and financial measures could help to “de-risk” renewables investment using onshore wind investments in Serbia and Greece as case examples. The financing costs for renewable energies in Southeast Europe have been significantly higher than for conventional power plants. Additionally, high risk premiums hamper the expansion of wind and solar power plants in the region. This study shows which political and financial de-risking measures can reduce costs of renewable energy projects in South East Europe.

Lemurs in Culture
There is plenty to be found about the Lemurs in popular culture. They are part of legends in Roman Mythology. They believed that these were the restless spirits of the undead. They thought proper burial of their loved ones would help to prevent this. Seeing a Lemur was often viewed as an omen that something terrible was going to happen to the people.
There have many stories about the vengeance of the gods coming to them in the form of Lemurs. Anyone having dreams about these animals was said to need to ask the gods for forgiveness for something they had done.
Since Lemurs are mainly out at night they have been viewed as spirits. Some of the legends offer them to be a great spirit that guides people. Others though have a grim look and the Lemurs are blamed for a variety of things that go wrong among the culture villages in Madagascar.
It is due to these stories in popular culture though that continue to threaten their very existence. This is due to the fact that the villagers hunt and trap them. They also take money from hunters that come from all over the world for the thrill of killing the legendary Lemurs of Madagascar Island.
Animal Planet offered a documentary called Lemur Kingdom. It is a great source of information that shows how these fun loving animals have been able to survive. It also shows the reality of them being hunted as food or for pets. This documentary also shows them foraging for food in drought conditions.
The documentary called the Lemurs Tale at a tourist attraction in Madagascar shows a group of Ring Tailed Lemurs and their interactions with each other. This really shows the bonds between such animals and their quest for ultimate survival. It was a way for them to be able to be seen as a great type of animal.
The film Madagascar features singing and dancing Lemurs in it. This animated film has been a huge hit with people of all ages. The last Avatar has a pet Lemur that he relies on throughout his various adventures. In the Disney hit Dinosaurs the Lemur family is raising a Dinosaur after an egg rolled and landed into their nest.
While these animated films are fun and delightful, they don’t depict the true nature of the Lemurs. Instead, they show them as smart creatures that are giggly and always singing and dancing. The tough problems they face in the wild as well as the tense moments among the family members aren’t shown.
Ida the Lemur is a fossil that was found and used to promote the evolution process of early Lemurs. However, the information about Ida has been short lived as it is controversial. There isn’t enough evidence out there to justify the claims that this is indeed an early Lemur.
Yet it was released in many presentations as being the truth. Many involved with such promotions were too embarrassed to say that they jumped the gun on that one. The scientists involved should have had more time to evaluate the fossil before such claims were made.
Operation Lemur was another documentary after Madagascar was so successful. There efforts continue to be involved so that they can try to educate the public about the needs of the Lemurs. Such forms of them being in popular culture have paid off. More people have joined efforts for their conservation. This includes those that advocate for them and those that have donated money to the cause.

Nikolai Novikov was an excellent master of drawing, the whole artistic world of Odesa admired his originality, his mode of life gave rise to many rumours and legends, which now remain exciting for the public. "Non-conformis" means inimitable, contradictory to the aims of majority, - just this definition is the most suitable for the description of Mykola Novykov’s personality. Artist of genius, born at inappropriate time and place, or a child of his times, who became outsider due to his irreconcilable temper. Rather both, having free spirit and not being socially committed, he admired the artists which were prohibited, succeeding to and carrying on their artistic traditions, owing to which he could be expelled from the college at that time. He lived and created as he wished, though it was contrary to the generally accepted concepts. The works of Mykola Novykov combine the appropriate nervousness and the distinctive manner, as well as the European breadth of the artistic mind. This artist was devoted to arts, as curiously enough, the genuine talent rather requires than gives.

Way back in 2009 I created a set of presets to be used when playing with smoke trails. Making smoke trails is a cool way to play with off camera flash. You basically set up 2 flash on either side of the camera facing each other at the same power. Light an incense stick in the middle, below the lens, and take photos of the trails that occur. By moving the air gently, you can influence the shape of the trail. You can get shapes that resemble real things, and some folk even go as far as liquifying the results in Photoshop to make art.
Well, these presets are just about giving a quick look to the photos using the Tone Curve. While the original set came out in 2009, they worked well. But then there was a change in the Tone Curve. We got RGB curves and then the Presets didn’t work. Well they did work, but you need to use Process Version 2010, and people didn’t want to do that, so I’ve recreated them. Again it was done by hand to make them match the original settings, and then re-saved to make sure there were no errors in them. So here are the new Smoke Presets for 2016.
The main idea in use in the Presets is called Solarization. It also looks really cool in B&W, so press V to make B&W versions as well.
To install these presets, open Lightroom Preferences (in Lightroom menu on Mac, Edit on PC), Click the Presets Tab. Click on the Show Lightroom Presets folder. Open the Develop Presets folder and unzip the smoke.zip file into this folder. Restart Lightroom. In the Presets panel of Develop, there should now be a folder called LRB Smoke Presets 2016. Click on a Preset to apply it, or hover over it to see a preview in the Navigator.
Please, if you find these useful, sign up for my general photography newsletter in the sidebar. It’s an occasional newsletter with Photo and Lightroom tips and news. It also gets you a free ebook called Alt Lightroom as well as other regular giveaways.

I can't even describe how angry I am at Obama's regime and the Democrats. Everyone of them should be thrown out of office. What a slam and insult to the American people. Inviting the President of Mexico to come here and lecture us on the illegals. I have never witnessed such a display of arrogance and contempt for our country as displayed by Obama and Congress.

1st Black player drafted by NFL in 1949
Fred Jeter | 4/29/2021, 6 p.m.
With the 129th pick of the 1949 NFL draft, the Chicago Bears made history by selecting George Taliaferro from Indiana University.
So what’s so historic about a 129th pick?
With that late pick, Taliaferro became the first African-American ever picked in the NFL’s annual draft that began in 1936.
When all the names are called in this year’s draft, which will be held virtually April 29 through May 1, at least half the athletes selected will be Black.
But there has to be a first for everything, and Taliaferro, who grew up in Gary, Ind., got the oblong ball rolling in 1949.
As it turned out, Taliaferro passed on the Bears’ offer, opting to sign with the Los Angeles Dons of the rival All-American Football Conference. The leagues merged in 1950 with the Dons combining players with the Los Angeles Rams.
Among the most versatile athletes in pro football annals, Taliaferro played, from time to time, halfback, quarterback, wide receiver, defensive back, punter and kick returner.
He was a three-time Pro Bowl selection at various positions. Taliaferro played for the Dons, the New York Yanks, the Dallas Texans, the Baltimore Colts and the Philadelphia Eagles. He never played for the Bears.
As the first Black athlete at Indiana University, he was a three-time All-American. In 1981, he was selected to the College Football Hall of Fame. He died in 2018 at age 91.
Taliaferro wasn’t the only Black draftee in 1949. In the NFL’s 19th round the Detroit Lions plucked Wallace “Wally” Triplett out of Penn State University.
In 1950, Triplett returned kicks (kickoffs, punts combined) for what was then a record 294 yards for the Detroit Lions against the Los Angeles Rams.
Triplett grew up in the upscale, mostly white Philadelphia suburb of La Mott, Penn., and was offered a football scholarship to the University of Miami in Florida. When then-segregated Miami discovered he was Black, the offer was withdrawn.
Triplett then attended Penn State instead. Coincidentally, in 1946, Penn State forfeited a game at Miami in part because of Triplett and the Nittany Lions’ other Black player, Dennis Hoggard. Miami officials said the team would only play if Penn State left its Black players behind. Penn State forfeited the game rather than accept that restriction.
Also in 1949, Paul “Tank” Younger of Grambling University, who was voted Black College Football Player of the Year as a senior, was not drafted. But he didn’t let that stop him from a significant NFL career.
Signed as a free agent by the Los Angeles Rams in 1949, Younger went on to score 35 touchdowns, rush for 3,640 yards and catch passes for 1,167 yards in a 10-year career. He was a four-time Pro Bowl pick.
Younger was the first NFL player from an HBCU and first Black NFL All-Star. He also became the league’s first Black assistant general manager in 1975 with the San Diego Chargers.
The very first Black players to compete in the NFL were free agents Kenny Washington and Woody Strode with the Los Angeles Rams in 1947. Both had starred years
earlier at UCLA. Washington was 28 when he played his first NFL game and Strode was 32. Each had played previously for the Hollywood Bears of the Pacific Coast League and other minor league outfits.

Hello Maja Fans,
Christmas is right behind the corner and I guess some of you may still need a few cards to make for their friends.
Today I am going to share a bunch of cards that can be given to men
Well sometimes it is so tricky to create the card with no flowers, lace and bows. However everyone can manage with it, indeed.
I started with creating my background for the cards using the paper from the 6×6 paper pad of Joyous Winterday, and then added the strip at the bottom, I stitched 2 of them together
I also added the striped ribbon, it adds the accent and looks like an eye catching detail
and of course I used the images of St.Nicholas
I added a few paper layers around the image, that I die cut.
When you create a masculine card you mostly choose the simple shapes for your dies, but actually you can add some intricate detail too.
and even crochet snowflake can look good for such cards
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Anxiety is one of the most common public health problems. According to the The National Institutes of Health, anxiety is at an epidemic level and affects about 40 million Americans each year. Also, about twice that number will suffer from anxiety at some time in their life.
Anxiety is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences at different times in their life. Many people feel anxious, or nervous, when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or making an important decision. Anxiety disorders, however, are different. They can cause such distress that it interferes with a person’s ability to lead a normal life.
Brain SPECT imaging shows the brain circuitry involved in Anxiety. It also displays their improvement after the appropriate treatment and demonstrates these circuits returning towards a normal pattern. SPECT imaging offers an additional tool in diagnosing and managing Anxiety and similar disorders.
Our staff and physicians are here to help. We believe that we can offer additional strategies for understanding your brain’s current functioning through the use of SPECT imaging–a functional brain imaging modality.

Right from the beginning (okay, maybe not X-Men Origins: Wolverine), the big-screen outings of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool have been… well, distinctly Deadpoolian affairs. In his 2016 debut feature, he made a joke about fondling Wolverine’s nether-regions before laying gory waste to a car full of goons. In 2019’s Deadpool 2, he finally assembled the long-rumoured X-Force team – before thrusting them into a skydiving mission that killed them all off instantly. Now, he’s changing things up once again for his third outing – teaming up with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for a reality-breaking adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And despite the dual-headline status of title Deadpool & Wolverine, make no mistake – tonally, this is Deadpool through and through.
“It feels like the most Deadpool movie in the history of Deadpool,” Ryan Reynolds promises Empire in the world-exclusive Deadpool & Wolverine issue. What that means remains to be seen, although if we were to put money on it, we'd imagine that the film will contain a sprinkling of the old ultraviolence, f-bombs galore, and all kinds of meta mayhem, in the glorious Deadpool tradition — not curtailed by the character’s arrival into the Disney-owned Marvel Cinematic Universe, but instead given fresh opportunities to blow the bloody doors off. Because while the film sees Wade Wilson trying to live a quieter domestic life, he’s soon pulled into the TVA by agents working for Matthew Macfadyen’s boss Mr Paradox. There, according to Marvel boss Kevin Feige, Wade is shown the Sacred Timeline – “the most glorious place in the world” – with all its heroic allure. “Deadpool is very intrigued by that,” Feige tells Empire. But Paradox’s plan might not be what Wade expects. “He learns soon thereafter that it’s not quite as simple an offer as he thought it was,” adds Feige. “And the stakes are universe-sized.”
Cue a team-up with everyone’s favourite X-Man, for a Deadpool adventure like no other – paying off a screen partnership between Wade Wilson and Wolverine (and a personal friendship between Reynolds and Jackman) that extends all the way back to 2009. “As much as I take the ever-loving fucking piss out of him each and every day, underneath that is a genuine love story,” says Reynolds of their bond. Expect all of that camaraderie to make it on to the screen. “As adversarial as we are in the movie, the undercurrent is one of real love. Getting to spend time with my two closest friends, and waking up in the morning with a passionate devotion to say something so horrendous that they fall over laughing is a gift.” Who’s ready to unwrap it?
Read Empire’s full Deadpool & Wolverine cover feature – speaking to Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, director Shawn Levy, Marvel boss Kevin Feige and more – in the Summer 2024 issue, on sale Thursday 9 May. Pre-order a copy online here. Deadpool & Wolverine comes to UK cinemas from 25 July.

Today, October 2nd is World Day for Farmed Animals. On this day, attention is drawn to the abuse and mass exploitation of animals for food and other uses. It is estimated that more than 70 billion cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys and other innocent animals are raised and slaughtered each year. Let’s hope this annual day of remembrance serves as a wake-up call for humanity to understand the suffering of these animals and help to put an end to this barbaric industry. These animals are all needlessly forced to endure tremendous pain, torment and death just to provide meat, eggs and dairy foods for humans, food that makes them sick and makes us suffer. Animal factories are large industrial operations where humans breed, raise and kill large numbers of animals to turn into food just to please their palates. Most of these animals never see the sun or the sky, or feel the grass beneath their feet. They are kept prisoners for their entire lives, even though they have done nothing wrong. The entire purpose of the animal livestock industry is to turn animals into food as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible, in order to maximize profits. Animals are treated simply as a commodity, like manufactured goods, while we endure unbearable agony and misery.There are so many issues with these inhumane industries. Humans are not only taking the precious lives of animals, but also harming themselves, their countries and the planet. That road leads to self-destruction! Yes, one of the many problems created by the animal factories, meat consumption, or both, is zoonotic diseases that have killed many, like the Spanish Flu, AIDS, Ebola, Avian Influenza, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Mad Cow Disease, and even COVID-19. There will be more pandemics if humans don’t stop eating animals. Another risk to society from animal factories is antibiotic resistant infections.

Local Area Attractions
Cannon Beach is recognized by its well-known landmark, Haystack Rock, located to the southwest of downtown Cannon Beach, near Tolovana Park. This igneous rock has an elevation of 235 feet, and is often accessible at low tide, especially in the summertime. There is a small cave system that penetrates the rock and can be seen from the coastline. The rock is also protected as a marine sanctuary, Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and events are not allowed within 100 feet of either side of the rock. Near Haystack Rock are the Needles, two tall rocks rising straight out of the water.
Welcome to a place where the stunning beauty of nature mingles with priceless world class travel destination amenities. This picturesque Oregon community proudly upholds a long standing reputation as "one of the 100 best art towns in America".
Four parks can be found within city limits: Haystack Hill State Park, Les Shirley Park, John Yeon State Park and Tolovana Beach State Park.
The Astoria Column
The Astoria Column has served for over 80 years as a beacon on the Pacific Northwest Coast. It sits in a wooded area 600 feet above sea level on Coxcomb Hill. Majestic views of the countryside surrounding Astoria are the great Pacific Ocean to the west and the mighty Columbia River to the north. Snow-capped volcanoes of the Cascade Range rise to the east and Saddle Mountain reaches to the sky on the southern horizon.
Fort Clatsop National Memorial
Fort Clatsop was the encampment of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the Oregon Country near the mouth of the Columbia River during the winter of 1805-1806. Located along the Lewis and Clark River at the north end of the Clatsop Plains, approximately 5 miles southwest of Astoria. The fort was the last encampment of the Corps of Discovery before embarking on their return trip east to St. Louis. Let us bring you to this exceptional museum here in Astoria.
The Flavel House Museum
The Flavel House was the home of Captain George Flavel. This historic 1885 Queen Anne Style Victorian Home and its period furnishings enable visitors to imagine what life was like in Astoria at the turn of the last century. Its decorative exterior, with hipped roof, balconies and verandas and its three-story octagon tower, has been restored to original form and the mansion's large rooms with their elegant woodwork are accented by furnishings and decorations of a century ago.
The Peter Iredale Shipwreck at Fort Stevens
The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore on the Oregon coast on October 25, 1906. It was abandoned on Clatsop Spit near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about four miles south of the Columbia River channel. Wreckage is still visible, making it a popular tourist attraction as one of the most accessible shipwrecks of the Graveyard of the Pacific.
The Oregon Film Museum
The Oregon Film Museum celebrates the art and legacy of films and film-making in the State of Oregon. Housed in the old Clatsop County Jail, the museum invites visitors to explore the films and production behind making movies in Oregon. Wander through this building, that was an actual working jail from 1914 - 1976; it was also the site of the famous jailbreak scene from the Goonies.
Long Beach Peninsula
The Long Beach Peninsula has become one of the most popular tourism destinations in the State of Washington and has attracted visitors from all over North America. As one of the final destinations of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, several television specials have brought publicity to this area. A multitude of events and festivals are held throughout the year including the Washington State International Kite Festival, the Sandsations sandcastle sculpting competition, and the annual The Rod Run to the End of the World, which attracts thousands of visitors on the weekend following Labor Day.

Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne, with a heavy dose of Tron-like costumery thrown in for good measure? No, it’s not a strange but wonderful dream—this picture is real.
The first image from Bieber and Osbourne’s Super Bowl commercial for Best Buy has emerged, revealing possible futuristic themes and definite awesomeness.
According to Best Buy, the spot—which will air during the third quarter of the Big Game on February 6—”will showcase creativity and humor to millions of football and advertising fans throughout the country.” Translation: Prepare your mind to be boggled.
The Bryan Buckley-directed ad was shot at Universal Studios earlier in January.

WODdoc Episode 99 Project 365: PVC Chicken Wing To Increase Shoulder External Rotation
I got 99 videos and my reign ain’t done. Yeah, I just did that… I know JZ will be kicking my ass soon for such a atrocious parallel. Sometimes stuff just comes out … it’s that no filter thing.
Anyway, today we are working some shoulder external rotation using a PVC pipe. I like to do a PVC mobility routine after kettlebell swings or SDLHPs because they fire up my posterior cuff and lats. PVC work is a quick way to hit a bunch of stuff in the upper extremities in a rather short amount of time. Shoulder pass throughs are pretty commonly done everywhere but I don’t always see the chicken wing.
The PVC chicken wing is set up:
1. Place the pipe in one hand 1/3 of the way from the bottom
2. Rotate your palm up (pipe becomes horizontal)
3. Bicep curl
4. Reach under your curled arm with your other hand and grab the pipe
5. Position pipe so that it is supporting the back (posterior) part of your shoulder joint
6. Perform chicken wing by starting with your elbow pointed perpendicular to your chest
7. Finish with your elbow parallel with your chest.
1. 15 PVC chicken wings (3sec hold
2. 15 PVC chicken wing overpressures (3sec hold)

According to the World Green Building Council Trends Report, commercial builders expect more than 60 percent of their projects to shift toward sustainable building practices this year. That’s up 13 percent from 2008. While we all know environmental concerns are one of the drivers behind the development of new green building products and sustainable building design advancements, the economic benefit of sustainable building practices is now undeniable.
Green building products are no longer viewed as add-ons and luxury features. For most companies, going green has become a necessity in improving operations. Clients have begun to focus on sustainability at the beginning of their commercial project, enabling builders to incorporate green building products and sustainable building design from the foundation up, and all without increasing costs. Our primary markets are:
- Healthcare & Life Sciences
- Manufacturing & Industrial
- Hospitality & Resort
- Education & Campus
With costs now in alignment, we’re starting to see other economic drivers adding to the demand for sustainable building practices. Building owners are realizing they can protect their property’s future value by making sure their buildings meet the highest-possible green building standards. When it comes time to sell, building comps won’t compare if the building next door is more efficient to operate, requires less maintenance and provides a healthier environment.
Arguably, there’s no reason not to build green, especially since green building products have become more readily available. In fact, sustainable building design starts with some of the simplest considerations, like natural lighting, ventilation solutions and cool-roof technologies. These sustainable building solutions are inexpensive, meaning you won’t have to sacrifice dollars (your own green) to be green. Plus, green building products are now so ubiquitous, it’s become easy to seek out the green goods.
We’re proud of our green-building record. Our leadership position comes from our efforts to continually develop innovative sustainable-building practices and incorporate new green-building products. Here’s a bit of what you can expect from MaxBuild.

Winding Down Webform.com
Published Feburary 2022. Updated November 22, 2022.
After 10 years, Webform.com is being discontinued as a hosted service.
Webform.com was founded with the intention that it could help fund the open-source version of the Drupal module. While the site did see some periods of substantial revenue, it has never generated enough income to actually pay for the develoment time of the service itself, let alone have profit enough to spend on maintaining the open-source module. After years of minimal maintenance, it's time to conceed that the service is not sustainable.
We will be winding down the service in a series of phases, to allow for existing users to migrate to other platforms or at the very least export their data and survey results.
- Effective immediately: No new sign-ups are allowed. Completed.
- All existing paid accounts will cease being charged, but will remain at the current tier of service. Completed.
- July 2022: All forms will begin showing a message that this service is closing. Completed.
- September 2022: Forms will cease accepting new submissions. Moved to January 2023.
- January 2023: Account logins will be disabled. Moved to March 2023.
How Do I Export My Data?
Data can be export from individual forms to CSV/Excel/Google Sheets by visiting the form, going to the "Results" tab and then "Download". If you have a small number of forms, this is a quick way to safely get out all your submitted data, including any uploaded files.
If you need to comprehensively export everything, all data from all forms can be export as a SQL dump and files through the full site export tool. Note that this export can only be imported into a Drupal 7 site, not a Drupal 8 or 9 site. Sites wishing to upgrade to Backdrop CMS can import their surveys into Drupal 7, then upgrade their site from there to Backdrop CMS and the Webform for Backdrop module.
If you need help exporting your site or have questions about your service, please contact us at email@example.com.

Fanell Elane Williams is family pastor at Toledo First Assembly of God under the leadership of Pastors Darren and Heather Gambrell in Toledo.
Operating in a false identity for over 20 years because of pervasive sexual trauma; she did not know her true identity, let alone her calling in life. One night in November of 2017, Fanell felt totally lost and confused – not knowing who she was or why she was. Life as she knew it had been pulled out from under her like a rug. She was at rock bottom. Everything she ever knew and believed in was a lie. She had been deceived, hurt, and broken.
Fanell was searching for answers. She came to know Jesus for herself that night, he saved her, and she gave her life to him. The question presented to her by an encounter of the Holy Spirit was, “Will you surrender EVERYTHING as you know it and let me transform your life into BEAUTIFUL?” By God’s unconditional love, Jesus’ saving grace, and the power of the Holy Spirit – Fanell’s life is being beautifully transformed.
To find Fanell’s work, visit her website at fanellelane.com. Follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube at FanellElane.
