School Selection Criteria
Prospective health care reimbursement professionals should consider the following when looking for a health care reimbursement school:
- Look for programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM). The organization lists accredited programs on their website (www.cahiim.org).
- Choose a program that prepares students for the Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT) exam. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, many employers favor health care reimbursement professionals with this credential (www.bls.gov). Students can investigate the RHIT exam passage rates of a prospective program either through the program's website or by speaking with the administration.
- Reimbursement professionals use several health care and insurance systems. Find out if the school offers classes on up-to-date technology and systems.
- If you're interested in getting hands-on experience at a local healthcare facility, find out if the program includes an internship.
Certificate in Health Care Reimbursement
Certificates can be earned in as little as a few months. Often, these programs are given in the evening so that students can maintain employment while going to school. Programs may include practical experiences at a local hospital.
Associate's Degree in Health Care Reimbursement
Associate's degree programs go more in depth than certificate programs do. An internship that provides clinical experience may also be part of the curriculum.
Bachelor's Degree in Health Care Reimbursement
Bachelor's-level health care reimbursement programs are difficult to find; however, programs in health care or health information management that incorporate health care reimbursement as part of the curriculum are an option. These programs may be contained within a school's business program but will still likely include classes related to health care reimbursement. Many programs will accept transfer credits from an associate's degree program and apply them toward graduation. Additional requirements for graduation may include an internship and capstone project.
There are several different undergraduate-level educational options for individuals who want to work in the field of health care reimbursement.

SAFE HOUSE- Review
Both are extremely likeable leading men who've been in a lot of middling to crap films of late, and they're together at last in Safe House. Reynolds plays Matt Weston, an inexperienced CIA agent who's stationed at a safe house in South Africa, where approximately nothing happens, all day, every day. Then, out of the blue, an uber-bad rogue agent called Tobin Frost is captured in Cape Town, and deposited into Weston's custody. Frost is carrying some important information, so it's not long before the safe house is compromised, and the rookie has to go on the run with his dangerous prisoner.
I make the above statement as a big fan of both Washington and Reynolds. It's only recently that I've truly appreciated how brilliant Washington is, even in his worst collaborations with Tony Scott, and he's truly one of the best actors out there. His presence always elevates a film, but it's Reynolds who has recently struggled, in the gargantuan task of rising above dreck like Green Lantern and The Change-Up. Perhaps the best reason to see Safe House is the interplay between these two very likeable actors.
Tobin Frost is a big, bad egg- perhaps not as truly menacing as Training Day's Alonzo Harris, the role that won Washington his second Oscar, but still in that class of character that is different from his usual roles. This gives Reynolds some interesting material as Weston, who's about a million miles from being a hard-bodied, hard-headed action hero. On the contrary, he seems to be on the verge of tears for a lot of the movie, taking a hell of a lot of punishment as the amoral Frost fucks with his head and leaves a trail of dead bodies behind them.
It's unfortunate, then, that the overall plot is nothing so memorable. Having watched Daniel Espinosa's movie, I'm still not entirely convinced that it wasn't directed by Tony Scott- it comes from his same technically adept but otherwise yeoman-like school of action cinema that really just leaves me cold. The fight choreography is better than many of these films that have aped the look of the Bourne films, but oddly, the presence of Bourne's actual cinematographer, Oliver Wood, does nothing to abate the incoherence of the action editing. Worse still, supporting players like Brendan Gleeson and Vera Farmiga are thrown away in parts that really amount to less than they might appear.
Safe House is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
If you've seen Safe House, why not share your comments below?
I'm Mark the mad prophet, and until next time, don't watch anything I wouldn't watch.

Are there clients for whom addiction is a terminal condition – individuals who will inevitably die from their alcohol and/or drug use?
The answer is undoubtedly yes, made ever clearer with the death toll from the current opioid crisis.
So what should I, as a mental health professional do with this answer? Am I able to predict who will make it in the almost always roller coaster journey of recovery? Should I not ‘waste’ my time with those who have no wish to change their pattern of use? Should I tell their families their loved one will have to “hit bottom” and this may involve death?
What to do when dealing with someone seemingly determined to head, full speed ahead, on a path to self-destruction? Here are some things I try:
- I remind myself how poor I am at predicting the future. I’m no fortune teller. And knowing this allows me to believe change is always possible.
- I repeat to myself the injunction to “Be kind, for everyone you meet is carrying a great burden”. Individuals struggling with addictions are truly fighting a daily battle.
- If I can, I tag off. One of the most valuable things with ACT is that you’ve got people around you. Feeling burned out with a client is a sign you need someone else to take over for a bit.
- I go back to basics. I think of what I’ve got in my Motivational Interviewing toolbox. I try listening, really listening to what my patient is saying. I bite my tongue HARD whenever I hear myself about to point out the obvious value, the life-saving importance of changing. I explore their life, finding out how they came to be where they are. I ask about the ‘good’ things that alcohol and drugs provides them before focusing on the ‘not so good’ things.
For some patients the best I can offer is relationship, relationship, relationship. A limited, professional and non-judgmental relationship. I stop thinking how I can change the person. I focus on learning something about them, and then learn something more, and on and on.
And I keep in mind William White’s words while reflecting on his career working in addictions:
“What we are professionally responsible for is creating a milieu of opportunity, choice and hope. What happens with the opportunity is up to the addict and his or her god. We can own neither the addiction nor the recovery, only the clarity of the presented choice, the best clinical technology we can muster, and our faith in the potential for human rebirth.”
Even better, do an educational session on basic MI skills and then plan another, and another and another… You got the idea!

The best story of political intrigue I've heard about the tournament so far is that Jon Glassmeyer and Scott Ridgway were a little early to a party hosted by the Australian ambassador to Ireland so they got a personal tour of the residence by the ambassador and his wife. The Sydney Convicts, who were supposed to be the guests of honor, arrived some time later, none the wiser. International incident avoided!
Friday, June 13, 2008
Unfortunately, our lobbyist could not include Ireland in her vacation plans as we had hoped, but Jenny is determined to get there later this year. In the mean time, we've been getting updates on the Nashville Grizzlies Rugby Football Club and their adventures in Dublin at the Bingham Cup.
The Grizzlies have combined with the World Barbarians and have won their first two matches. They defeated the Amsterdam NOP 55-0 and Kings Cross Steelers of London 6-0.

Week #3 in Berlin (22 December 2014). Reese reported a productive week with a lot to do, although not as much progress as he had hoped. He had the chance to teach the Young Men about mission preparation on Sunday and really enjoyed that. They worked with several less actives and Reese had a fun tausch with Elder Michael Christensen. He reported: "I thought it might turn into a bit of a 'trunky tausch' [because Elder Christensen is going home on the same day as Reese] but we worked our tails off. . . . It started sleeting pretty hard but we still enjoyed it. It is weird how that makes you happy sometimes--being cold and wet, but still knowing that you are working hard." Here is a photo from the Christmas market at Alexanderplatz, their apartment kitchen and the view out their apartment window:
Finally, here are two photos. The first is one of Reese at the Alexanderplatz Christmas market. The second is a photo of Reese taken in June 2012 when he and his father visited Alexanderplatz on a trip to Berlin. He's holding a "happy hippo" candy that his brother, Jimmy, had introduced him to during the time Jimmy had lived in Berlin.

Weight Loss in the Right “Supplemental” Way
The trouble of being overweight and having excessive weight are currently prevalent. Due the wrong eating habits and lack of workout, the body system has the tendency to form too much fat yielding several forms of diseases. These health problems would include diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, and many more. However, people are already informed about the unfavorable effects of being overweight, thus trying to address this by taking weight loss supplements, having the proper diet, and regular exercise.
Proper diet and work out are absolutely the finest method to obtain an excellent body and good health. But for some, this cannot be easily achieved through those means only. And then, weight loss supplements are offered in the market to improve the rate of reducing weight and reach the fitness being dreamed of.
But the issue now is, what can be the finest weight reduction supplement? Fundamentally speaking, there are three characteristics that should be found in a weight loss supplement which will be talked about in this content.
To start with, a quality weight loss product should always be safe to consume. If you try to look into the internet, there are some reports that the long term use of a certain weight loss product is the culprit of kidney failure and even death. Many of these items are usually made by the synthetic process and are not accepted by the authorized experts. Thus, it is advisable that any man or woman who wishes to use products for weight loss must only consume all-natural solutions which are recognized by the worldwide institutions for health.
Smart Ideas: Sales Revisited
Second of all, weight loss supplements should be really potent. Safe products are indeed recommended but when it is not effective, it does not give you your desired goals and can simply be a waste of time and money. When comply the right manner of consuming the product, weight loss must be observed with one week to a month. If sticking to your diet program, exercise routine, as well as your supplement do give you the significant weight loss, then probably you should think about changing your weight loss supplement.
The Ultimate Guide to Options
Lastly, weight loss supplements need to be friendly to your pockets. This does not always imply incredibly low-priced and not always very costly at the same time. Extremely cheap products usually (but not always) regarded as ineffective and expensive ones might be effective but empties your funds. However, this feature is of course, relative. What is costly to one individual might be reasonably priced to another individual. So better select an effective product that does not go beyond your means.
So there you go, trim down those unwanted fats through the right diet routine, regular exercise, and supplemented by a harmless, effective, and reasonably priced weight loss items.

I love these questions! I really enjoy being able to just sit down and think, hard for a bit. (Thanks plarium! Keep it up!)
We should start out by (assuming) saying the sun is likely setting.
With that in mind, the shadows are pointing west, as the sun rises in the east.
We have direction.
We also know the moon is lit up by the sun. And just by looking at the moon, we know the sun is (if we where facing the moon) at about 10-11 O'clock 'behind' the moon.
With this info, and the position of the shadows, we know the sun is 'forward' of us picture-lookers (due to shadows), and because of how the moon is lit, (we know the sun is 'behind' the moon) the moon is between us and the sun, which means it is in front of us in the sky, not behind us in the sky.
Now we have to realize the 'moon' in the pool of, (mutagen? Or Uranium?) IS a reflection of the real thing.
Its like looking at yourself in the mirror. Touch your right shoulder, and your reflection will touch it's right shoulder, still (according to your perspective) on your own right side Point of view as well.
However, because the moon is 'in front' of us, we can easily relate the lit, left side of the moon int he reflection, to a moon who's left side is also lit (A mirror image)
With that being said, the lit part of the moon would look the same as if it where in the sky, and not turned around.
Now, in relation to our view, the moon, as it goes through it's phases, pans from right to left. Starting with a sliver on the right side, going to full moon, then fading to the left throughout the nights before hitting new moon.
This moon is in it's last few stages of fading off the the left; a 'Waning Crest' as astronomers would call it.
The Full moon has passed already, and the New moon will come very shortly.
"BUT WAIT!" you might be saying right now. "What if you are in the Southern hemisphere where the moon phases from left to right?
Keep in mind the sun STILL rises in the east and sets in the west, as well as the moon and stars.
And SHH. I dont want to dive into all that stuff. So just assume with me we are in the norther hemisphere ;3
Short answer: new moon comin soon!

The jellyfish heads for deeper waters to cool off with some hyper smooth jazz. This track by Horace Parlan cuts through the noise of the world with the speed and precision of a glacier.
Horace Parlan was a superb piano player despite having a right hand damaged by polio. He developed a frenetic style that turned the disability to an advantage. Check out the amazing all-rhythm piano solo with that right hand in this track.

Even though the hotel rolled out the red carpet and has good reviews I am not happy here.
My gut feeling is mumbling something.
I'm not sure what it is saying, but it ain't good!
During the apres-petit-dejeuner cigarette, I notice that the weather forecast has indeed been accurate. It's raining, but the intensity is already diminishing. Let's hope that trend continues!
When the bike is saddled and ready to ride off, the rain has stopped.
Along the way: some more monuments to Germans' ability to tell the difference between right and wrong
Even though the threat of rain is ever-present, it stays dry.
|Free Food !|
When I roll into Verdun, a city whose name that has been soaked in blood and misery from many wars throughout the centuries, I don't really expect much. WRONG again. Verdun is beautiful. It has a bit of Amsterdam, it has a bit of Paris. Learned something else.
It's a good time to recharge my battery and fill my stomach. I find a nice restaurant right on the quay promenade. The place has an extremely effeminate young waiter in his early 20s who is very friendly and helps me hunt through the restaurant for an outlet for my battery charger.
I order the French national dish, Entrecote avec frites.
When I'm quietly working away at my food, I realize that the couple in their 70s at the table next to me are from Suabia in Germany. I recognize the accent from my Dad's Dad. I'm not trying to eavesdrop but can't overhear the husband in a hushed but urgent tone admonishing his wife "You GOT to stop doing that. Stop shaking the table. Once in a while is fine, but NOT all the time. And this morning when you stepped into your skirt. It was like you were afraid of it"
|A clandestine shot of the German woman. The German man's hand is visible handling his BEER.|
Then he gets up and returns his wife's dish to the kitchen. It's exactly the same one that I am eating. By now all the guests from all the other countries are STARING at the Germans. And they're not even realizing it. They keep bickering away at things that are WRONG with the food. NEVER happy.
WTF??? No wonder there always was war between people like that and the more laissez faire French.
From Verdun, the road leads up into the hills.
|Somewhere in the far distance over there people speak German|
This being the area around Verdun, it is no surprise that there is a German soldier's cemetery along the roadside. I only realize when I read the description that under these relatively few crosses on this relatively small lot rest almost 8,000 young men. Having been first exposed to these places on last year's bike trip through Normandy, I now take the List of the Buried out of its water-proof cubby hole and look for names. There is one of my father's side of the family, and there is someone from Grandma's side. And one from adopted Grandpa's relatives. I have no idea whether these are very close relatives, but try to remember that in 1916 there were are LOT fewer people on this planet
A while later, Google Maps delivers me to Le Chateau de Puxe.
The Chateau is lovely, so is the room. The owner/caretaker is also lovely in her own way but unfortunately she is NOT tech-savvy.
I tell her TWICE that her internet router needs to be rebooted because despite excellent signal strength, I don't get ANY internet. She tells me to sit in the kitchen because "then you are closer". Do I look that dumb? Why can't ignant people just realize when they have no clue instead of making life so hard for less ignant human beings?
Of course it does not work in the kitchen. Does she check back with me? Mais Non.
It gets worse. It's Sunday and the 10 km distant supermarket closed at noon and won't re-open until tomorrow.
6 pm rolls around and I have figured out that if I connect to THE OTHER WiFi server that's visible (some garbled name) and use the password for the Chateau WiFi I DO GET internet. When the Lady of the House hands me a business card of the restaurant that she made reservations for me at 7 pm, I tell her all this, get a BLANK look and a shrug of the shoulders.
Ah well. I have internet and my miserable mood that is overly evident in the above paragraphs soon vanishes. The lady of the manor is actually quite nice and tries her best to be a great host at which she even succeeds. Time to accept the fact that some people just do not do tech.
The bike being faster than most bikes, I get to the restaurant at 18:30 pm. The door is locked. OK, let's just hope it opens at 7. I hop into the pub next door for a glass of Rose to bridge the time and do some work and again am amazed by the friendliness of rural France. Not only do they want to make room for me at the bar, the owner empties the dregs of the bottle into my glass filling it to twice the normal amount, and the older man that had moved away to make room for me makes Uh Uh noises, to which I make my first ever joke in the French language. "C'est O.K. Je suis sur un velo, Pas de voiture !" They even giggle, but that might just have been my ridiculous French ;-)
Every time someone enters the bar, they make the rounds of the maybe 8-10 customers, shake hands and kiss cheeks. The amazing thing is that they all also come to my table to bid me "bon jour" and shake my hand. This is not the first time I notice it and I'm starting to like it a lot.
7 pm. I walk next door, try the door, and it's open. The nice (NOT) people gave me the table RIGHT AT THE entrance door and right next to the door of the LOO.
But after I drink another glass of Rose quickly and comment that their Escargots were 'Tres bon', the waitress seems to warm up a bit. And the escargot were VERY nice. I even use some baguette to sweep out some of the garlic-and-herb-laden molten butter ;-).
Ordering the Prawns and St. Jaques pizza wasn't the best brain-work I have done today, but then I have a weakness for Noix de St. Jaques (NOT the nuts of holy Jack but Scallops) when I'm in France. When did the WAY-too-much-cheese pizza movement take hold in France? But since due to the closed supermarkets I will have nothing to munch on tonight, I will take the leftovers with me. Nothing better than cheese and bread to counteract too much Rose. Speaking of Rose, where is my third (fourth?) glass ????
Given all that Rose, the 9 km ride home to the Chateau are just rosy ;-)
Since I was asleep rather quickly with all that good French wine inside me, I also wake up early.
Coming back into the room, I notice something that seems at first very strange.
The reflection of the lamp shade in the window seems strangely blurred.
Not strange at all, because these are OLD window panes. And believe it or not, glass is a liquid. Since liquids flow, so does glass, only REALLY SLOWLY.
During a discussion with the lady of the house during a yummy breakfast I start appreciating her more. She actually asks where I and my bicycle have come from and where we are going.
I'm not sure whether the all too frequent absence of that question is a result of only an all too obvious lack of interest or the fact that in these car-obsessed days people just don't know what to make of a bicycle anymore.
Time to roll. The Fatherland is looming nearby.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has issued a recall for 2,628 units of its widely popular MUV Innova Crysta and the Fortuner SUV to replace faulty fuel hose routing.
The recall covers only petrol powered Innova Crysta and Fortuner units which were manufactured between July 18, 2016, and March 22, 2018, to inspect fuel hose routing and correct if required.
"In line with its commitment to safety first and customer satisfaction, the company is implementing this recall in India," TKM said when contacted over the issue.
The recall is applicable to gasoline variants of the two models, it added.
The company had also announced a voluntary recall for Innova Crysta in May, manufactured between April 2016 and January 2018, to inspect and repair the wire harness.
The recall also covered Fortuner units, produced between October 2016 and November 2017.

Good old Microsoft have apparently been working on a fantastic application that takes any vocal sung into it and provides 'suitable' backing tracks. Sounds like good clean family fun, yes?
Quite apart from the jaw-droppingly Stepford-esque promo video, the good burghers of the internet have since decided to play it some acappellas of famous tracks, with astonishing results.
Clear winner has to be Radiohead's 'Creep'. They should do their whole next album like this. Utter awesomeness.
Of course, it has to be a massive spoof ... er ... doesn't it? Anyone?

Camp Rules and Expectations
All camps are by invitation only - in accepting the invitation you are accepting these rules.When you are at a camp you are representing the Burton District hence we expect a helpful attitude, excellent behaviour and respect for others.
Travel to and Arrival at CampIn your Explorer shirt or blouse and Explorer necker.
Provision of TentsWe will normally provide tents and will not allow Explorers to camp in their own. We will specifically inform you if you may bring your own tent.
Taking Wet Tents Home after CampIf the tents are wet when packing all Explorers will be asked to volunteer to take a tent home to dry, or part of a tent for larger tents. If there are no volunteers the Leaders will choose the Explorers - failure to comply willingly will be deemed as contravention of these rules. Tents must be returned dry, packed and complete.
Sleeping ArrangementsSleeping arrangements are solely at the discretion of the Burton Explorer Leaders in attendance at a camp, even if the camp is organised by the County or other wider group. The rules are:
- At least 3 in shared, single sex tents, for safety and safeguarding reasons.
- Single or double occupied tents allowed only when there is no practical alternative. a) Only one or two girls/boys on a camp, so unavoidable; b) Sleeping as a Young Leader with a younger section, such as Cubs (you must not share a tent with the younger section);
- Other reasons by exception, solely at the discretion of the Leaders.
Mobile PhonesMobile phones and similar electronic devices are not permitted (except on DofE & expedition camps).
SanctionsFailure to follow the rules or live up to expectations will result in you not being invited to the next two camps. At Leaders’ discretion this may exclude camps that you need to attend, e.g. for Young Leader Module training. If you are a Young Leader we will advise the Group you support who may withhold a camp invitation.
3 Strikes Rule
Within explorers we operate a fair 3 Strikes Rule. This by recording a strike after bad behaviour, braking the Code of Conduct or not upholding to the Camp Rules. Once you have reached 3 strikes you will be asked to leave explorers.
When you receive a strike you will be told with multiple leaders present and also will be in front of other explorers. An email will also be sent to both explorer and parents/guardians. Depending on what the incident is if we deem more that one strike is appropriate then more that one may be given. If the incident warrants 3 strikes they will be asked to leave on the spot and OSM contacts will be called and a meeting will be arranged to discuss future membership in Burton Explorers
This does not stop you joining a different explorer unit outside of Burton. However please note that if you are on District or County Event or International trip you will lose your place. County events work on a "District Allocations" so your place will be replaced by another member within the district. This will also surrender any fundraising you have done towards the event.
Please see our Code of Conduct which also applies on Camp

Movement In Motion came about after the founder, Jessica Barker, made a commitment to provide a positive and affirming atmosphere in her classes for any one who wanted to move their body in healthy ways. Movement In Motion aims to provide a community for all types of movement instructors to come together, and ultimately find a way to let students know that they will provide a body positive environment in their classes.
Movement In Motion can provide you with a community of like minded instructors, and can connect you to potential students and clients who want what you have to offer.
Movement in Motion is in it beginning stages, and as we grow, and the name is recognized, it is the goal to provide a free training, pledge, and certification for instructors to say that they will provide this type of environment, as well as a directory of instructors who not provide this environment and are exemplary in their commitment to empowering others to move their body in healthy ways.
For now, if you would like to indicate that this is something you support, you may write "I Support Movement In Motion" on your personal sites, along with a link to MIM's Facebook site or web page.
Movement in Motion aims to provide a way to connect you to movement instructors and identify those who provide environments that are uplifting and accepting. Instructors who agree to the Movement In Motion pledge agree to not body or food shame, not sell supplements to their students, and focus on health without making weight the focus.
Movement in Motion will also be providing tips on how to talk to instructors who may engage in this kind of talk and actions if you wish, and provide resources on how to handle these situations in an empowered way.
Sign up for news and events and up to date information as we grow!
Get in contact with Movement in Motion for specific questions or to get more involved with the Movement!

While all changes do not lead to improvement, all improvement requires change. The ability to develop, test, and implement changes is essential for any individual, group, or organization that wants to continuously improve.
Selecting, testing, and implementing changes
is a core element of the Model for Improvement, a simple yet powerful tool for accelerating improvement that has
been widely used by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and hundreds of health care organizations in many countries to improve numerous health care processes and outcomes.
After generating ideas for changes your team might try, use rapid Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles to test a change or group of changes on a small scale to see if they result in improvement. If they do, expand the tests and gradually incorporate larger and larger samples until you are confident that the changes should be adopted more widely.
Of course, measurement
is a key component of testing and implementing changes. Establishing key measures will help your team determine if the changes you are implementing are leading to improvement.

We have all the funds set aside for these new items but we want to make sure we have most of our proceeds from the sale of the first house still in the bank for when the lender evaluates us for the new mortgage. Therefore, while we intend to spend the money on these items we don't want to do it before we close on the house. However, we also don't want to move in without appliances at the very least.
It turns out we aren't the only people in this situation and some of our local retailers have a plan. The store where we've purchased all of our other appliances let us put down a $500 deposit on a washer/dryer and fridge and will charge our card on the day of delivery for the remainder of the items. PERFECT. We can complete our mortgage transaction and have the appliances delivered and installed before we move in! Woot Woot. I'm super excited about the refridgerator. It will be counter depth and therefore flush with the cabinets. We do lose some interior space, but we intend to get a second "pop fridge" for the garage so we won't be sharing space with soda, beer or popsicles.
|the couch in real life|
It's a sectional with a corner wedge (check) in a dark grey (check) that has a comfortable seat (check) and low arms (check) and a straight back (check) and it was ten inches shorter on each side than the PB version. The extra length is nice for when you have five people on the couch, but those moments will be rare and the extra walking space will make our room feel even bigger. Oh and the Macy's couch was a thousand dollars more than the PB couch.
WAIT!? A thousand dollars more, are you STUPID? Nope, I'm pulling your leg. Our whole order was a thousand dollars more than the projected cost of the PB couch, but we also got a huge sectional couch for the basement with three seats that recline to snoring positions AND a very beautiful new coffee table for the main floor AND a leather side chair to complete the look upstairs.
|The side leather chair|
I have a similar rug to the one in the example photo picked out, but it won't be blue. I have two samples and will be taking them to Macy's the next time we go visit our selections to determine if either of them work with the design.
In the basement, the cozy couch that Jason picked is brown and we'll be reusing the red wool rugs that we had in the other house.
The main floor will be comfortable and sophisticated and the basement will be super cozy and warm.
Macy's won't put the charge for these items on their card until they are delivered. So, like the appliances we can have them arrive the day after our closing date and before our items are delivered by the moving company.
I have hope that our new home will come together quickly. I'm tired of apartment life.

There is no doubt that our healthcare system is in turmoil. The United States offers the finest healthcare delivery in the world with technological breakthroughs in medicine occurring every year. These breakthroughs extend and save lives. With thousands of foreign patients traveling to the United States every month for our advanced medical treatment, we are blessed to have access to the treatments. While the healthcare delivery is unmatched, so too is the cost for healthcare in the United States.
Our agency has health insurance specialists who work to provide our clients with the best value for health care. Health Insurance is merely a way of financing your healthcare during your lifetime. The premiums you pay are pooled with others in your age and demographic to pay for the eligible healthcare cost you incur. Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the cost of insurance has increased to a point that many are not able to afford. Additionally, the out of pocket cost with deductibles and coinsurance are more than the average family can manage. What good is a health insurance plan if you cannot afford to access the care?
Our practice has worked with clients for the past 30 years, providing viable solutions for financing their healthcare cost through risk transfer (insurance), Discounted medical services and general advocacy. We have been working with a local Physician Patient Cooperative that is working to help solve the healthcare crisis in our country. A Physician Patient Cooperative is a group of medical providers that form an association for the purposes of providing medical care to the members that participate. As long as you receive direct medical care from a PPC provider, there is little, if any additional cost, other than the membership fee. This works for Doctors, Labs, Imaging and other basic services. When combing the PPC with a catastrophic hospitalization plan, we are able to offer our clients an affordable alternative for healthcare that was not previously available to them. The cost for the PPC is $109 / month and with a limited Hospital plan, the monthly cost can be as low as $179 / month. If you would like to see if the PPC is a viable option for you individually or your company, call Crystal Calaway at 281-448-3040 or click here

LOS ANGELES -- California has become the latest issuer to structure a deal with an expanded presale order period for individual investors.
On Thursday, California will price $141.62 million of Public Works Board lease revenue bonds. The underwriting team working on the negotiated transaction expanded the presale order period to three days from the usual two or three hours in order to reach socalled "mom and pop" buyers.
After the retail-only order period ends tomorrow, institutional orders will be taken, and a final pricing will take place Thursday, said Aimee Brown, a principal with Artemis Capital Group Inc., senior managing underwriter on the deal.
This is the largest transaction the woman-owned firm has led in its five-year history, said Brown, who heads its San Francisco office.
The retail-only order period "helps spur early interest in the financing, and that is a way to help bring in more orders and lower the cost to the state," Brown said.
"In this kind of market, individuals are looking at a variety of alternative investments, including municipals, and it takes a little more time to attract them to a deal," she added.
Deals generally are priced in a couple of hours, and "retail buyers can't gear up fast enough under those circumstances," Brown said.
"You can only make so many phone calls in a two- or three-hour period, but over two or three days, you can make an exponential number of calls," she added.
Retail-only order periods have been used with increasing frequency in recent weeks. The largest transaction was a $702 million sale of general obligation bonds issued by New York City last week. In that deal, individuals bought about $300 million of the issue.
Brown said the technique will also be used by the Los Angeles Unified School District and San Diego.
"I would like to say it is a brand-new idea, but it's not," said Brown. "We just think in this kind of market it is a successful idea."
A retail order is defined as an order from any individual investor, a bank trust department, or an investment adviser.
"The idea is to give the retail broker more time," Brown said. "It gives you some retail interest going into the formal pricing, and makes it easier to be more aggressive in setting final interest rates."
"If you have a portion of the issue spoken for at retail, that is less bonds you have to look to for the institutional market to price," said Brown. "It helps, too, if we can increase retail interest by giving them more time to make their decision."
Artemis Capital is being assisted by a team of seven co-managers chosen by the state treasurer's office. Among the co-managers are two minority-owned firms and three firms owned by disabled veterans.
To maximize retail penetration, the management team will be assisted in the bond distribution by a 10-member syndicate and a 20-member selling group selected by the treasurer's office.
Proceeds of the issue will finance construction of 12 facilities -- including libraries, classrooms, and learning resource centers -- on 10 California community college campuses.
The lease revenue bonds are being issued by the five-member state public works board. Authorization to issue the bonds was granted by the state legislature.
In the transaction, the public works board enters into lease-purchase agreements with the community colleges. Payments from the leases are used to satisfy the principal and interest payments on the bonds issued by the board.
This is the board's fifth sale of bonds for the community college district since 1987.
The bonds have been rated A-minus by Standard & Poor's Corp., A by Moody's Investors Service, and A-minus by Fitch Investors Service.

GFP is very useful as a reporter protein. After its discovery in 1962 its practical applications were put into use 30 years later by adding the coding DNA of GFP before the stop codon of other proteins. This allows for an easily detectable marker of the proteins presence without needing additional cofactors or causing any harm to the organism. The spectral characteristics of GFP can be changed by making mutations to the protein. In this investigation a Y66W mutation was made to wildtype GFP in order to produce a shorter excitation and emission wavelength. The mutation was made using QuikChange site directed mutagenesis. The protein was then cloned into BL21(DE3) pLysS for expression. The cells were then lysed and applied to a Ni-NTA column. This fractionated the lysate in order to analyse these fractions using SDS-PAGE, fluorescence and Bradford assays. It was found that the Y66W mutation was successfully added but due to another mutation in the stop codon additional amino acids were added to the C terminus of the protein. It was also found that purification was partially successful as GFP was eluted in the correct fraction. This is supported by the Bradford and fluorescence assays.
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 238 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 26,870 Da. It was first isolated from the jellyfish species Aequorea Victoria by Osamu Shimomura in 1962 (1). GFP is expressed in small photoorgans that are situated in the umbrella of the jellyfish. Douglas Prasher first realised the potential of GFP as a reporter protein (2). As proteins are smaller than the resolving power of electron microscopes, Prasher thought the GFP gene could be added into the gene for haemoglobin before the stop codon. This would allow the protein of interest to maintain all of its functions but would have the GFP protein at its C terminal end. This means that detection of GFP fluorescence would also indicate the presence of haemoglobin. Furthermore, GFP does not require additional cofactors or substrates to fluoresce. This means that it works extremely well as a non-invasive method of detection of protein expression. GFP is also non-toxic so it is able to be used in vivo without causing damage or harm to the organism.
Crystallisation studies (3) have shown that GFP has a barrel structure with the chromophore buried in the centre. This chromophore is comprised of 3 amino acids (Ser 65-Tyr 66-Gly 67) that undergo a series of spontaneous cyclisation reactions to create the active chromophore. Wild type GFP has a major excitation peak at 395 nm and a minor one at 475 nm with an emission peak at 509 nm. In vivo GFP is coupled to the protein aequorin which induces a blue glow when it interacts with Ca2+ ions and breaks down luciferin. This light is able to excite GFP and cause fluorescence. In vitro this is not the case, however GFP fluorescence can be easily induced by irradiating GFP with UV light.
As with all proteins, GFP can be mutated. By mutating key residues, such as residues in the chromophore, it is possible to change the characteristics of GFP's fluorescence. The first of many mutations was the S65T mutation (4). This mutation improved the characteristics of the protein including increased photostability, fluorescence and a shift of the major excitation peak. This investigation is based on the engineering of GFP to create a mutant of GFP with a shorter excitation and emission wavelength by inducing the Y66W mutation. The aims of this investigation were as follows. To carry out site directed mutagenesis of GFPuv to clone into pET28c and transform the products into XL-1 super competent cells. Extraction of the plasmid after incubation overnight to check the purity and concentration of DNA. Preparation and transformation of BL21(DE3) cells. Lyse these cells and fractionate the lysate to purify his tagged GFP using a Ni-NTA column. Finally, detection of purified GFP by SDS-PAGE, Bradford assay and fluorescence.
The workflow of the investigation can be found in figure 1 in appendix 1. A more detailed protocol can be found in the BIOC2302 semester 2 practical manual on pages 6-15 with rationale for all experiments.
In site directed mutagenesis I 31 μl of water was added to the PCR reaction to give a total reaction volume of 50 μl.
In site directed mutagenesis II a supplied culture of cells was used in the experiment rather than cells from the transformation colonies in site directed mutagenesis I.
His tagged GFP was used instead of the mutant in the protein purification experiment in order for easier administration as the process is the same.
Site directed mutagenesis I
Before the wet lab work began it was first necessary to design primers for QuikChange to induce the Y66W mutation into the wild type GFP. These can be seen as figure 2 in appendix 2. These were created using the QuikChange primer design tool on the Agilent website.
The site directed mutagenesis was carried out using the primers supplied to induce the correct mutation. The products of this were cloned into the pET28c plasmid and the XL-1 super competent cells. The cells were plated as per the BIOC2302 practical manual and left to incubate overnight.
Site directed mutagenesis II
Upon checking the plates in the next session it was found that no transformed colonies had grown so a new culture was supplied. The undigested plasmid control grew approximately 50 colonies
The culture of BL21(DE3)pLysS cells was set up and the OD600 were recorded. They can be seen in table 1 in appendix 3. Within 50 minutes the culture had reached an OD600 of 0.483 meaning the cells were at the correct density for lysis.
The cells were prepared as per the BIOC2302 practical manual and the recombinant plasmid was extracted. The concentration measured was 121.7 ng/μl and the A260/A280 was 1.86 using nanodrop. Therefore, the ethanol precipitation was not carried out.
To prepare for sequencing 4.11 μl of this solution was diluted, with 5.98 μl EB buffer, to the correct concentration. This was then sent to be sequenced, the results of which can be seen in appendix 4. The primer has been highlighted in green and is surrounded by a box with the mutated codon in red. A deletion also occurred in the stop codon of the mutant as highlighted by the second box with deleted bases highlighted in blue.
The plates were inspected in the next session. It was found that the 200 μl transformation plate grew 3 colonies and the 50 μl transformation plate grew none. Transformation efficiency can be calculated for the 200 μl plate as 37 transformants/μg of DNA.
The cells were weighed and found to be 0.539 g so 2 ml BugbusterTM used. After lysis and fractionation the SDS-PAGE samples of each fraction were prepared and loaded onto the gel.
The Bradford assay was carried out while the gel ran. The BSA standards were calculated and the contents of each standard well can be seen in table 2 in appendix 3. The fractions were then diluted into their wells and the contents can be seen in table 3 in appendix 3. The plate was filled according to the map in figure 2 in appendix 5. The plate was ran and the absorbances for the BSA standards were taken from the plate readout and inputted into table 4 in appendix 5. From here a calibration graph was set up using GraphPad Prism and can be seen as graph 1 in appendix 6. This graph shows that the data points for the standards do not fall near the line of best fit.
The absorbance results from the plate readout for all of the fractions were imputed into table 5 in appendix 7. The equation of the line from graph 1 was then used to calculate the concentration of protein in each of the fractions. All of these values were also inputted into table 5.
With the Bradford assay complete the SDS-PAGE gel was disassembled, stained and a picture was taken. A map of the gel can be seen as figure 3 in appendix 7 and the picture of the gel can be seen as figure 4 in appendix 8. By looking at the picture it can be seen that in lanes 2, 3, 4 and 9 there are dark bands spanning the entire lane. In 5, 6 and 8 there is faint banding across the well. In well 7 there is a distinct small band in between the 25 kDa and 37 kDa molecular markers. Lane 8 shows no bands at all.
Finally the fluorescence assay was carried out as per the map of the microtiter plate in figure 5 in appendix 7. The results from the plate readout were inputted into table 5. From here a graph comparing the log of protein concentration compared to fluorescence of each fraction was plotted and can be found as graph 2 in appendix 6. This shows elution 1 with the highest fluorescence and the unbound x10 had the lowest. However, when comparing protein concentration the unbound fraction had the highest and wash 2 had none. Percentage fluorescence was also calculated and inputted into table 6 in appendix 9.
The first aim of this experiment was to transform the site directed mutagenesis products into XL-1 super competent cells. The correct primers were used in order to induce the Y66W mutation into the parental DNA. However, no colonies that were meant to take up the mutated plasmid grew but the undigested control grew around 50 colonies. This means the cells did not take up the plasmid because otherwise they would have grown on the plate. This could be due to a mistake made in making the PCR reaction mixture or the DNA may have become damaged at some point in the experiment. Additionally, the suppliers of the XL-1 super competent cells advice to avoid large changes in temperature. This was unavoidable in this experiment and may have contributed to the cells not taking up the plasmid. In the future more care should be taken while plating and preparing the cells. Also preparation of any reaction mixtures should be checked very closely in order to ensure the correct reactants are added in the correct amounts.
In site directed mutagenesis II the cell culture was lysed when the OD600 was 0.483. That is because E.coli cells are most likely to be made competent when they enter early log phase. This corresponds with an OD600 of 0.4-0.5.
The DNA concentration extracted in this experiment was found to be 121.7 ng/μl and an A260/A280 of 1.86. This means that the DNA is good quality as the desirable range for A260/A280 is 1.7-2.0 and the concentration was much higher that what was required. However, in future experiments to test for reliability multiple results should be taken. Furthermore, the data could have been confirmed by using the spectrophotometric method alongside using nanodrop.
The sequencing results in appendix 4 confirmed the successful incorporation of the Y66W mutation into GFP, creating the CFP mutant. However, the second mutation at the stop codon deleted 2 bases including the first base of the stop codon. This means that when the protein is expressed the ribosome will not stop and instead will continue to add amino acids onto the C terminus of the mutant until it reaches a new stop codon. There 144 bases between the original stop codon and the next in frame stop codon meaning 48 additional amino acids will be added to the C terminus. This codon can be seen highlighted in purple below the original stop codon. These additional amino acids could affect the folding or could increase the likelihood of aggregation of the mutant protein.
In the protein purification experiment the 200 μl transformation plate grew 3 colonies and the 50 μl transformation plate grew none. The transformation efficiency on the 200 μl plate was 37 transformants/μg of DNA. The reason why this is so low could be due to a number of factors such as the plating technique or the cells may not have been left to chill on ice for the optimum amount of time. However, the negative control did not grow any colonies, confirming that all of the bacteria on the transformation plate were transformed. Again, more steps should be taken if this was to be carried out again to ensure that proper plating and prepping protocol is followed.
The Bradford assay shows that in wash 2 there was no protein in the well. This means that any protein found in elutions 1 and 2 should all be His tagged GFP that bound the Ni-NTA column. This can be confirmed by the fluorescence results as the elution 1 fraction contained the majority of the total fluorescence with 44.13% of the total. However, all other fractions also produce some fluorescence. This could be due to GFP contamination in the other fractions. This could have occurred due to the resin being saturated, preventing further binding to the column. It could also be due to aggregation of the protein obscuring the His tag and preventing binding. Furthermore, the plots on the calibration graph do not fall on the line of best fit. This means that the equation of the line is not accurate and protein concentrations calculated using it are also inaccurate. Therefore, there could be more protein in each fraction than was calculated. This could account for the fluorescence in the wash and unbound fractions. The Bradford assay is quite limiting. This is due to the fact the assay only measures protein concentration rather than GFP concentration. This means that it is unsure whether the protein concentration measured in elution 1 and 2 is all GFP or it is contaminant protein. The same can be said for the other fractions, it's unsure whether the protein concentration measured has been contaminated by GFP. In the future this assay should be carried out again to try and reduce contamination. The calibration graph should also be repeated until all of the data points fall on the line of best fit. Otherwise none of the calculated protein concentrations are accurate.
Finally, the SDS-PAGE results shows banding in wash 1, 2 and elution 1 and 2. This suggests that there is contaminating protein in all of these fractions. Elution 1 shows a clear band at approximately the 26-27 kDa mark as it is present just above the 25 kDa marker and is well below the 37 kDa marker. This suggest the band in elution 1 is GFP as it is the appropriate size and is in the expected fraction.
Another source of error could be due to the amount of pressure applied to the pipette. This will vary from person to person and will affect the volume of the solution being pipetted. As such small volumes were being used and there was a lot of solutions to be pipetted it is very possible a mistake was made. This mistake would have a big effect on the concentration and therefore could have a big effect on the absorbance values. These errors can be avoided in future by using the appropriate pipette for the volumes being used. Further reduction in errors can come from correct technique and by doing replicates and averaging values.
There could be some error in the microtiter itself. There may have been markings or scratches on the plate that weren't seen at the time. This could affect how the light passed through the reader and therefore affect the absorbance values.
In conclusion, the aims of this investigation were to induce the Y66W mutation into wild type GFP using QuikChange site directed mutagenesis. Furthermore, the protein was to be expressed in competent BL21(DE3) pLysS cells. Finally wildtype GFP was to be purified using a Ni-NTA column and the fractions analysed with SDS-PAGE, fluorescence and Bradford assays. The investigation successfully introduced the Y66W mutation into wildtype GFP. However, the stop codon was also mutated adding an extra 48 amino acids on the C terminal of the protein. A band indicating the presence of GFP was found at the 26.9 kDa mark in elution 1, indicating it was bound to the column and was eluted. However, all factions were contaminated with other protein.

Apprentice's 3D-printed design saves sugar company thousands of dollars
A 3D-printed, claw-like device is saving the owners of a sugar processing plant more than $10,000 per year.
It was designed by 27-year-old Daniel Marks, who was working as an apprentice draftsman with Sunshine Sugar in northern New South Wales.
The robotic part, used about 100,000 times per day to remove excess packaging from sealed sugar bags, had previously been made of steel.
Mr Marks redesigned the part so it could be 3D-printed and made from a thermoplastic known as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
The steel part, which needed regular replacing, cost about $1,400, whereas Mr Marks's design cost $40.
"I had to do a lot of research and development in the design so that it would last as long as the steel part was lasting," he said.
"Because it's a 3D-printed part, the company didn't have to invest in manufacturing it because we were buying it from a supplier, and I had supplied the design, so that was a big saving as well.
"I was the first one to start 3D drawings in the company, so when they saw what I was capable of they were very happy."
Mr Marks, an engineering student at the Wollongbar campus of North Coast TAFE, was named 2016 North Coast Apprentice of the Year at the North Coast Training Awards, and student of the year at the North Coast TAFE awards.
He said the recognition affirmed his decision to move to Australia from India in 2008.
"I wanted to study an apprenticeship that would teach me the standards of Australia, what they do and how things are done," Mr Marks said.
"It definitely was not an easy process, starting from scratch.
"I had so many friends in India, and coming here I had to make new friends, and even after making friends most of them didn't get their visas and had to go back to their home countries.
"But, career-wise it was very good. I was always very focused on what I wanted in my life."
Mr Marks recently married and settled in the Tweed Valley community of Tanglewood, where he plans to stay for the near future while continuing work and study.
He said he hoped to continue working with 3D-printing technology and teaching others.
"I want to share my knowledge with future generations," Mr Marks said.
"And I'll definitely be staying in Australia, as Australia has looked after me very well."

In teacher's college what seems like a long time ago, one of our profs tried to get us to explain what the process of learning was in a typical classroom. He asked, "is what you're doing more difficult than surgery?" The general answer was, "no, surgery requires precision, great expertise and can kill people if done wrong; it's more difficult (and important)."
Our prof went on to try and describe what happens in a classroom as we teach people new ideas in a way that allows them to retain the knowledge and make it their own. It's complicated in social, psychological and physical ways, and you don't get to focus on one person at a time, like that surgeon does, you typically have 90 students in circulation each semester and you're dealing with 30 at a time. Considering the circumstances, it's amazing that teaching and learning happen as well as they do.
At Edcamp a discussion wandered into focus on this, and the complexity of the process is quite staggering. If you truly care to understand how we teach and learn from each other, you've got to recognize the uniqueness of this ability (#11) in humans.
"Children expect to be taught, a vital difference (between humans and apes). While most apes can copy, they do not teach each other."
Teaching isn't purely a learned behavior as many would have you believe... we're hard wired to learn! This begins to explain why classrooms are able to teach as well as they do; it wouldn't work as well in a room full of chimpanzees.
It also helps explain why teaching is such a personalized set of skills. Many teacher's colleges, educational experts and administration would love to develop that perfect teaching algorithm that allows them to streamline the process, make it cost effective and minimize differences in education. This approach fails to recognize the complexity of the process.
When I became a teacher, I was surprised at how much I was imitating those teachers who had a positive effect on me when I was young. The job is challenging, overwhelmingly so for many people. Those who stick it out and begin to develop some mastery in this very slippery (psychological, sociological) profession might have used the same process.
When I was a student, long before I thought of becoming a teacher, I was subconsciously apprenticing. From Mr Rattray in grade four to Mrs Thomas in grade six, Mrs Fraser in grade seven, Mr Stern in grade 13, I was seeing what worked in master teachers, and then subconsciously imitating it when I suddenly found myself in front of a class years later.
I find it strangely comforting to sometimes find myself speaking with those voices, some of which are long gone from the Earth. It's one of those ways that teaching reaches deep into what we are. But if you're unlucky enough to be in a college that doesn't help you understand how vital you are to the process (by over-emphasizing curriculum, or administration, or control), you will end up a cardboard cutout, someone not being human in this most human of activities.
You might try to approach teaching as a science. If you do, I suspect you are either not going last in the profession long, or you're going to get out of classroom teaching as soon as you possibly can and administrate. There is something unique and personal to every successful classroom teacher. Some can be the stern disciplinarian and be very effective as that teacher, others can be personable and relaxed with their students and approach the same level of effectiveness as a teacher from a completely different path. Whatever it is that they do, if it's 'put on', disingenuous, then students won't do what they have a predisposition for: learn.
Those that try and distill this most complex of professions, one that actually defines us as a species, into a statistically, standardized process fail to grasp that teaching and learning, more than medicine, science or even religion, is what makes us uniquely, and powerfully human; it has been the single most important defining factor in our evolution as a technologically advanced species.

I believe condensate may be trapped in two upstairs, but system pushes through it when large rad is off. Does this make sense?
: *** Condensate shouldn't be trapped. If the pipe size is too small, it can happen.
****Meaning pipes that are too small can result in trapped condensate? Or does the narrow pipe restrict the flow of steam to a degree that is only overcome when I take the large rad off line?

Who cares about Europe?
In the debate about Britain’s role in the European Union, following the Prime Minister’s recent speech, I have been struck by two facts.
Firstly, a Populus poll for The Times, found that 35% of Liberal Democrat supporters would vote to leave the EU if there were a referendum. That’s right; one third of the supporters of our most avidly Europhile political party want to leave the EU. The reason, I suspect, is that there are several reasons to vote for the Liberal Democrats. The EU just doesn’t feature on most voters’ radar.
The second fact came from polling by Lord Ashcroft, the Conservative donor and peer, in December 2012. Ashcroft wanted to look at whether, and why, voters appeared to be turning to UKIP. He found that the recent increases in UKIP’s support had little to do with policies; and virtually nothing to do with Europe.
Only 27% of those considering a vote for UKIP felt that Britain’s relations with the EU were one of the top three issues facing the country. That figure is only 10 percentage points higher than the rest of the electorate.
Instead, the reason that some voters are considering UKIP has more to do with outlook than policies. These are people frustrated that schools can’t seem to hold nativity plays anymore, that you can’t fly the flag of St George any more, or that you won’t be promoted in the police force unless you come from an ethic minority. And of course, these people think that anyone who speaks up about these issues is labelled a racist. These examples may be real or imagined, but the effect is that a substantial proportion of the electorate do not feel represented by the mainstream political parties.
So the increase in UKIP’s support is caused by a feeling of disenchantment with politics and political parties. The movement towards UKIP is a statement of a growth in anti-political sentiment, which is only marginally affected our relations with the EU.
This adds up to an interesting conclusion. The supporters of neither periphery in the EU debate, either Europhile or Eurosceptic, really care about Europe.
So, who does care about Europe?
There is an element of oligarchy here. The leadership of UKIP have stronger views about Britain’s relationship with the EU than many of their supporters appear to have. There are also Conservative backbenchers, such as Bill Cash or Douglas Carswell, who have a strongly held views on the EU. On the other side, there are senior Liberal Democrats who genuinely feel that the EU is a positive project in which the UK should play a full part.
But, for the most part, this is not really a debate about Europe.
In the Conservative Party, Europe is a proxy through which different factions are wrestling for control. Those on the Right are using Europe to pull David Cameron in their direction and open a gap between the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Many on the right of the Conservatives never felt represented by David Cameron, and feel even less so now he is in Coalition with the Liberal Democrats.
For the Conservative leadership, Europe is an opportunity to stand up to the rebellious Right. By announcing a referendum, the Prime Minister was able to demonstrate leadership and confront the unruly elements in his party. The referendum is a chance to bring his party together in the run up to the next general election.
But, most importantly, Cameron’s announcement was a chance to neutralise Europe as a political issue. Voters do not vote for divided parties, and the old split over Europe threatened to engulf the Conservatives in infighting. The Prime Minister will hope that this announcement keeps Europe out of the headlines.
David Cameron has grasped that the voters just do not care about Europe. He knows that a Party which talks about little else will struggle to win votes.
For Nick Clegg, Europe can be used to make bigger political points. He can differentiate himself from the Prime Minister and appeal to his party’s core supporters. Ed Miliband, on the other hand, can use the Europe debate to present himself as a statesman. Miliband claims that, unlike the Prime Minister, he is not shackled by party disunity and is free to pursue Britain’s national interest.
I have an uneasy feeling as I conclude this piece; that I have spent several hours writing an article on how nobody cares about the subject of my article.
But while there appears to be a debate raging about Europe, there are actually a plethora of other debates under the guise of Europe. Whether it is about the disillusionment of the white working class or the fight to control the Conservative Party, Europe is the proxy for almost any other issue.

A boy from Gloucester, England got the perfect gift this Christmas. His parents presented him with a pair of gloves designed especially for him by Puma. Joseph Pritchard was born with a condition that left him with two fingers and one thumb and found traditional gloves would fall off during Football practise. His parents wrote to several big sports companies to see if any of them would be interested in helping them with their quandry and were delighted when Puma called them and confirmed they would be only too happy. They even imprinted the 8 year-old’s name on the tabs.
The boy’s school has hailed the child as being an inspiration as he has also had a leg amputated and shows no sign of backing down from following his passion in sports.

When police found an unconscious man at his home in an upscale neighborhood in Virginia, they also found a surprise: Several venomous creatures were among the 14 reptiles living there.
Fairfax County police went to the home in the 4800 block of Walney Road in Chantilly shortly before 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, after a caller reported an unconscious man.
Authorities took the man to the hospital, where his condition was deemed non-life threatening.
While inside the house, police also found 14 reptiles, including several venomous snakes. Among them were a Mojave rattlesnake and Gaboon viper, which can grow up to six feet long. Both are illegal to posses in Virginia.
Animal Control and Luray Zoo employees removed all 14 reptiles from the house.
The man's loss of consciousness is not believed to be connected to the animals in his house, police said in a release.
The case is currently under investigation, and police say there is no threat to the public at this time.

The ZBA is a 5 member board authorized to hear appeals from a decision made by the code enforcement officer or building inspector, regarding zoning law. There are two types of appeals to the ZBA; those seeking an interpretation of the zoning law, and those requesting a variance from its provisions.
The ZBA can be asked to interpret the law only after a decision has been made on a matter. The individual appealing the decision may believe that the official was wrong in either issuing or not issuing a permit, or the individual may believe they were incorrectly cited for a violation of the zoning law.
The ZBA has the power to grant permission to use property in a manner not allowed by the zoning law. There are two types of variances: use and area. The use variance allows a property to be used in a way that the zoning does not allow. The area variance allows relief from the dimensional requirements of the zoning law. There is a strict set of criteria governing the granting of either of these variances.

My traveling son returned home Friday from a month in England/Scotland/Ireland/Wales...and here's how he arrived from London. It's so him. Go figure! He loves being Scottish. My great grandmother, Jennie Mills, traveled from Ruther Glen/Glasgow in the early 1900's, and arrived via Ellis Island when she was a teenager. Now that he's seen more of where the family still lives, I guess he's a bit proud of being part of the Gordon clan.
Knitting Wise: Felted bags, not much else...recuperating from sending son off to college 36 hrs after arriving in the States. I'll be taking photos of my wonderful swap packages from The Knitflix Swap (Thanks, April!) and the Monkey Socks Swap 2 (Thanks, Cindy!). Both wonderful!

In rocketry, what goes up usually comes down in pieces.
The cost of getting to orbit is exorbitant, because the rocket, with its multimillion-dollar engines, ends up as trash in the ocean after one launching.
Elon Musk, the chief executive of the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, better known as SpaceX, likens the waste to throwing away a 747 jet after a single transcontinental flight.
“Reusability is the critical breakthrough needed in rocketry to take things to the next level,” Mr. Musk said in October during a talk at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
On Tuesday, his company hopes to upend the economics of space travel.
At 6:20 a.m. Eastern time, one of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets is scheduled to lift off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on what is otherwise a routine unmanned cargo run to the International Space Station.
But this time, the company will attempt to land the first stage of the rocket intact on a barge floating in the Atlantic Ocean. After the booster falls away and the second stage continues pushing the payload to orbit, its engines will reignite to turn it around and guide it to a spot about 200 miles east of Jacksonville, Fla.
SpaceX has attempted similar maneuvers on three earlier Falcon 9 flights, and on the second and third attempts, the rocket slowed to a hover before splashing into the water.
“We’ve been able to soft-land the rocket booster in the ocean twice so far,” Mr. Musk said. “Unfortunately, it sort of sat there for several seconds, then tipped over and exploded. It’s quite difficult to reuse at that point.”
The first rocket stage, Mr. Musk noted, is as tall as a 14-story building. “When a 14-story building falls over, it’s quite a belly flop,” he said. “What we need to do is to be able to land on a floating platform.”
So SpaceX built a floating platform, 300 feet long and 170 feet wide, for the rocket stage to land on.
A new addition to the rocket is a set of “grid fins” that will fold out after separation to help steer the rocket toward the platform. No people will be aboard the barge during the landing attempt.
If SpaceX’s gamble succeeds, the company plans to reuse the rocket stage on a later flight.
Mr. Musk put the chances of success at 50 percent or less. But, he added, over the dozen or so flights scheduled for this year, “I think it’s quite likely, 80 to 90 percent likely, that one of those flights will be able to land and refly.”
Eventually, SpaceX would like to land the first stage back at the launch site. A longer-term goal is to recover and reuse the second stage as well, and Mr. Musk has predicted that a fully reusable rocket could cut launch costs to a hundredth of what they are now.
This NASA cargo mission, SpaceX’s fifth, is carrying more than 5,000 pounds of supplies and equipment, including an IMAX movie camera, a laboratory habitat for studying fruit flies, and an instrument to measure the distribution of clouds as well as particles of dust, smoke and air pollution. After four weeks docked to the space station, the SpaceX cargo capsule will carry experiments, trash and other items back to Earth.
This flight is also attracting scrutiny because the Orbital Sciences Corporation, the other company that NASA has hired to ferry cargo to the space station, suffered a catastrophic failure in October when its Antares rocket fell back to the ground moments after liftoff.
Among the items destroyed in the explosion were 18 student experiments, part of a program run by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education.
Some of the students had traveled to the Orbital’s launching site in eastern Virginia and left crestfallen.
But Jeff Goldstein, the director of the center, and NanoRacks, the company that made arrangements for the experiments on the space station, were already working to juggle the manifests on future cargo flights.
Three weeks later, 17 of the 18 student teams had recreated their experiments and shipped them to Houston for NASA to add them to the SpaceX payload, then scheduled for launching on Dec. 19.
“It was nuts,” Dr. Goldstein said. “NASA moved heaven and earth for this.”
The 18th team, Dr. Goldstein said, decided to modify its experiment, requiring a new safety review.
The launching was subsequently postponed after a test firing of the Falcon 9’s nine engines was cut short. After a later successful test firing, the launch date was set for Jan. 6.

A rhino was killed by poachers in Namibia’s vast Etosha National Park, the fourth to be hunted in the reserve, the country’s environment and tourism ministry said.
The rhino probably died last year, bringing the number of the animals slaughtered for their horns in the southwest African country in 2014 to 23.
“We have discovered at least one old carcass in the Etosha National Park believed to have been poached,” Romeo Muyunda, a spokesman for the ministry, said in an e-mailed reply to questions from the capital, Windhoek.
Poachers also killed 76 elephants in Namibia’s national parks and conservancies last year. The arid country has one of the largest populations of black rhinos, which are under threat from those who kill the animals and sell their horns, chiefly for use in traditional Asian medicines, according to the WWF.
Two other rhino carcasses were found in the park, belonging to animals that are believed to have died of natural causes.
About 1,750 black rhinos live in Namibia, out of a global population of 4,800, along with 469 white rhinos, according to Save The Rhino and WWF.
The ministry is “finalizing budget planning for an anti-poaching unit before approaching treasury for funds,” Muyunda said. The deployment of a 400-strong task force drawn from army, police, the intelligence service and farmers has been delayed from the beginning of this year to the first half of 2015, he said.
A plan to deploy unmanned aerial vehicles to assist in monitoring poorly policed national parks in northern and north-east remote parks, is being considered by the country’s cabinet, Muyunda said.

This week Kampoy and I have been working hard. We got up at 6:30 every day and studied and did everything as stated in the handbooks. Some results but overall just another week. There was one super cool spiritual experience I wanted to share.
So when Kampoy first came to work with me, I had the thought - "You need to go see Daniel". Daniel is an English speaker who is an awesome member. The missionaries love him and he is completely dedicated to the gospel. I rationalized and pushed the thought away. I thought "Daniel is an awesome member who doesn’t need our teachings. And plus Kampoy can meet him at church. I’m sure I don’t need to go see him." And it was left at that, Kampoy and I worked last transfer without seeing him.
Now fast-forward to present day. Kampoy was praying at dinner on Thursday and the thought entered again into my head, "You ignored the prompting to go see Daniel 6 weeks ago. You need to go see him tomorrow!" It was such a strong impression and with it came the realization that I hadn’t seen Daniel at church for a month! The next day I penciled him in for 3pm. In the sector that day (Friday) Kampoy asked "Why are we going all the way out there today, we have no one to see out there?" I explained the prompting and he agreed to go. When the time came we left for Daniel's. Walking the road to his house I was anxious to arrive and see Daniel - I wanted to know why I had such an impression the night before. When we got to Daniel's house, a picture of him was set up outside the gate. (in Africa that means someone died). We entered the house and found his family, but not Daniel. He had passed away 2 am that very morning! We spoke with the family and informed the Branch president. I walked away very regretful that I hadn’t listened to the prompting the first time.
I don’t think I have ever had a prompting so clear and precise as that one. Not even when I prayed to know which college to attend or if I should serve a mission - that prompting was so clear and strong! If another prompting like that ever comes again I don’t want to wait to act. This week that is the only big story I have to tell. But I'll add my testimony that God hears and answers prayers. And that he speaks to us today through the spirit. I encourage you guys to act on promptings you get.
The story however doesn’t end there. Sunday half the branch went to Daniels house where we sang songs and gave a spiritual thought. It was fantastic to see the members actually participate. Because Daniel spoke English, the Anglophones in the branch stood up and bore testimony that Daniel is alright. One member stood and boldly said, "Daniel had all the ordinances necessary to be saved - for the members of this church, the loss of Daniel is not really a loss at all. We know he is alright!"
Next Sunday I should be skyping with you guys, which I am pumped about! So prepare some awesome questions and stuff : ) I love you guys! Have a rockin' week - I will actually talk to you soon!!

Father charged with child endangering after two little girls found wandering outside
SANDUSKY – The Sandusky Police Department has located the mother of two little girls who were found wandering on West Perkins Avenue this morning.
The 2-year-old and 4-year-old were in police custody for about 5 hours.
Their father, Brandon Clark, has been charged with two counts of child endangering.
Sandusky Police Chief John Orzech told Fox 8 that the father but the children down for a nap and the mother went to work.

At this time last year, I was 6 weeks pregnant with Bremy, and we were prepping for a vacation with B's family to British Columbia. I was 14 weeks by the time we left, and for the most part I was feeling great. Bremy was the focal point of that trip. We talked about her the whole time, even though we still didn't know she was a girl. We talked baby names with B's grandma, bought her a Christmas ornament at a gift shop and took photographs, where I tried to highlight my belly, even though I had no baby bump yet. It was a very welcome two week vacation to somewhere we'd never been. B and I spent a lot of great quality time together taking in the sights, and breaking away from the group to go on our own adventures.
passing under the Golden Gate Bridge on our cruise trip was so fun
Our favorite off-ship adventure was whale watching in Victoria. We had a great boat and captain and it was super fun. We saw lots of Orkas, but my absolute favorite was spotting a humpback on our way back in. It was a rare sighting for that spot, and they were just mesmerizing. This is my favorite picture from that excursion.
I'm not sure why I never blogged about the trip, but I came across some photos and wanted to document it here. It was a very, very happy time in our life. I'm working on being more at ease than I am right now, during this pregnancy. Looking at these pictures makes me want to let go and enjoy this time even more.

To examine the effects of a community-based group exercise program for older individuals with chronic stroke.
- Physical therapy Behavioral
Prospective, single-blind, randomized, controlled intervention trial.
Participants were brought into the laboratory for further screeening, and those who passed were randomly assigned to either the treatment (FAME group) or the control group. Both groups underwent an exercise program for 19 weeks of 1-hour sessions, three sessions per week, in the same multipurpose room of a community hall, but they exercised at different times of the day.
The FAME group received aerobic exercise for 10 min., increasing 5 min. every week up to 30 min. continuous with increments of intensity of 10% every 4 weeks. They also received mobility and balance exercising of different forms of walking, standing and kicking. Lastly, they performed leg muscle exercises.
The control group performed resistance exercises with increasing strength of bands and sets, up to 3 sets of 15. Elbow/wrist muscle strength and range of motion exercises were performed, and hand muscle strengthening exercises were performed for 10-15 minutes.
|Type||Measure||Time Frame||Safety Issue|
|Primary||Cardiorespiratory fitness (maximal oxygen consumption), mobility (6-minute walk test), leg muscle strength (isometric knee extension), balance (Berg Balance Scale), activity and participation (Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities), and femoral neck BMD (using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry).|

“I was honored to volunteer with such a fantastic organization that helps provide seniors in Southwest Michigan with quality, healthy meals,” said Proos. “It is heartening to know there are caring, compassionate and considerate people, like Ron Roth and so many others, who generously donate their time and efforts to give back to our community.”
Proos is pictured with truck driver, Ron Roth, and with Christy Trammell, executive director of Three Rivers Chamber, who also helped deliver meals.
After helping load the truck, Proos went out on the road to assist in the delivery of the meals.
“I was pleased to meet Margaret ‘Muggs’ Davenport from Centreville,” Proos said. “She is full of life, and I was happy to help her during my time volunteering for Meals on Wheels.”

Tax Thursdays: Can I expense that? Entertainment Edition
February 7, 2013
Entertainment as a business expense – sounds like fun! But what can you actually deduct as an entertainment expense?
First, you need to be with someone who does business with you, such as a customer, vendor or employee. Entertaining yourself doesn’t count, even if you’re a sole proprietor.
Then, you have to actively conduct business during the entertainment. For that reason, it can’t be in a place where there are “substantial distractions”. The IRS gives examples of these places, including the theater or at sporting events, golf and country clubs, yachts, vacation resorts, cocktail parties, and nightclubs. That’s right, all those “business meetings” at fancy nightclubs you see in the movies are not tax eligible deductions.
There are ways you can deduct your expenses in those settings, such as if you owned the venue, or if your business was related to the venue. For example, if you were a golf swing consultant, you could certainly write off those greens fees. If you’re a plumber, not so much.
Entertainment is also allowed when it’s in a “clear business setting”, such as at a conference building or at your client’s office. Remember though, you can only deduct 50% of your entertainment expenses – the IRS doesn’t want you to have that much fun.

Great Gigs I Have Been At, #17.
Peter Case: in what I remember as a little conference suite with rush seating in the back of a quite posh hotel near the sea in Dun Laoghaire, Eire. It was either some time around the year-end of 1986, or the spring of 1987, though I do suspect the former. At any rate, I was 16.
I recall that Case in the flesh looked a good deal more bohemian (specs, scraggy hair, rumpled suit) than the highly styled troubadour on the cover of his newly released and eponymous debut album from Geffen Records. But, unaccompanied, he played those songs that I already loved - 'Echo Wars', 'More Than Curious', 'Three Days Straight' - and a few I didn’t know. He encored with his own take on Shane MacGowan’s 'A Pair of Brown Eyes', and even stepped off the stage with his acoustic guitar to pace up and down atop a row of spare chairs, cheered at every step.
Afterward I lingered backstage (which was a hotel corridor, basically), shuffling and eavesdropping as some more seasoned individuals managed to engage Case in conversation. ‘How’s T-Bone’s family doing, do you know?’ asked one. He was speaking of Case’s revered producer on the Geffen record, someone whom even I had figured as a musical legend, present at the Rolling Thunder Revue and the making of Heaven’s Gate, producer of Elvis Costello’s King of America, one of my other great favourite long players of 1986...
This is all coming back to me now because of belated efforts to catch up with Case’s subsequent career. The 2007 collection Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John has brought great pleasure. No surprise that Richard Thompson contributes guitar and vocals to one cut, or that Stan Ridgway (another of my great favourites etc etc) is thanked in the notes. And at times I do feel like I’m back in 1986, enjoying that first album.
And yet I see from Case’s website that the ‘styled’ nature of his first record is something he rues somewhat, though he pays great respect to his producer, who kept on to greater things (and whose unmistakably long black-suited figure I bumped into once at a Hollywood function circa 2002.)
This is what Peter Case has to say about 'Peter Case':
Q: How much did T-Bone Burnett shape your sound?
A: T-Bone's a great producer. I came to him with this whole vision of the songs I was doing, and we talked about it and came up with the idea of tribal folk, meaning using acoustic guitars with a huge groove in the back, which only made it to the record on songs like ‘Three Days Straight.’ But the fact is that I was deemed by the record company, and T-Bone, as being too primitive to even play on my first record.
Q: Does that go back to you being a rock 'n' roll folk singer, a real rollicking force?
A: On the first record, there are a lot of slick arrangements. There are even a couple of cuts that I don't even play on, I just sing…
Clearly the things you have to do to forge a viable musical career can be strange and taxing, maybe even infuriating. Maybe it was especially so in the mid-1980s... Case seems to have made the right choice to stay out of the mainstream and keep to his own terms, 'right' in the sense that the music has stayed true and top-notch. It's hard to imagine the mainstream could have made it any better.

I flied to Nice.
Nice is very lovelyplace. Long unfinished beach, sunshine, pink or warm colors wall building, yellow and orange old city ... townscape is so pretty like a Disneyland!
I had got tired of couscous and tajine already, so enjoyed Japanese food and seafood.
My goal for Nice is to see Shagall and Matisse. There were some museum.
Especially shagall museum is good. I don't know about Judaism well, but I could understand his works by audioguide.
When I see shagall's artwork, I feel some stories and they have moving. Of course how to use the colors are superb?, Matisse as well.
I went to drink with men I talked out . They were actually teens but they know about France very well, they taught me a lot of things so I had a great time with them.

The musings of Spitty the Kitty
Oh both, most definitely Spitty! Mom says you has a furry kissable nose. DON'T let her get near you, MOLSasha, Sami, & Saku
It rhymes, so both for me as it causes glee
Both! Definitely both!
Peep #1 was a Monday baby. Apparently, she has no grace.Purrs,Nissy
You are indeed King Spitty and don't you worry none. xxooxx
You has it all Spitty
Didja forget I existed??? Haven't seen you stop by my last 3 blogs. Am I boring you? Hmmmm? This little ghetto kitteh wants answers.
I figured you'd choose both, Spitty - it's the Kitty Way!
Methinks you are a little severe in that picture so I am little fearful of deciding, Sir.
We are not too sure about either of those Spitty, but we would never contradict you. We don't want the Furrari or you not coming back to Virginia. Have a great week. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
which ever rocks your boat~
Dearest Spittikins, TBT doesn't allow us up on the kitchen counters from a concern of germs on the counter. He is right, it would be foolish of us to take a chance bein exposed to his raw chicken an pork germs like that. He is only bein careful for our health.BTW, did you notice in the new August Header that I am wearin yer original fancy bling gift? I still cherish it, my Lambie-Sweetie. ~ Iza-Lovey
I had you pegged for more of a Wednesday's child but there ya go. You look pawsitively yummy regardless. xoxoMs. Stella O'Houligan
Precious is panting heavily. It must be fair of face.
I dunno. ARE you full of grace? You are white of eyebrow whisker.I replied in comments about the CFs vs the BFs.
If I had my way, you'd be fair of face and full of smooches!!! Star says: I'd say both. And of course you can stay with me for a few days. Your human has been neglecting you terribly! You need to come over and bask in lots of loving attention. Even if you might have to endure a few cuddles from my human.. But then again, she's got the opposable thumbs to work a brush. We can have a slumber party, watch cat movies and eat chick-hen and hams until it comes out our ears! and snuggle of course! Purrrrr
When you're such a good lookin' fella, you can totally be both.
Regarding your comment about the caterpillars: Eww is right! What an image! Here is a Scientific American article about it:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=caterpillar-butterfly-metamorphosis-explainerObviously there is a lot more going on in that furry black head of yours than we think while you are napping. Your capybara idea was quite something.
Oh Spitty, definitely both. You are just fair of that handsome face and so full of grace. You thought I was going to say sh#$%^&. Didn't you. We think you are just purrfect just the way you are. Have a great day.
Or Hairy Face?Augh! We tried to stop the mom and her goofy comment but sometimes she's unstoppable!
A shopping trip? With your humans plastic!? Yes, and YES! xxoo
Well, you know what Snap votes for--both! She also thinks your face should be full of kissies and maybe a love nip.
Well, that was us...with my spazzy mom at the helm.
Thank you wonderful Spitty for your donation to Benny, that was so kind of you.. Big hugs and slobbers xx00xxxMollie and Alfie
I vote for both too. hope your peeps are taking better care of you today!
Well I sure support thar dual designation Spitty!
I can't decide either. Why don't you come over and let me have a closer look. Maybe it'll help....Tutu
Handsome Mancats can be... Others not so much
dood...bee glad ya iz knot borned on that... hasta werk for a livin... day... coz then ewe wood bee that born on de day... fulla whoa ....woe.... !
Yes both for sure.. Hugs GJ x
Yep Spitty - you've got that combo thing going for sure! Face and grace......well done!Kitty Hugs, Sammy
I'm for both too - we are anipals and best in multi tasking & multi masking
The Incredible Sulk!! Spitty you speak volumes without actually saying a word!!! MOL xox
ouch! Some kitty is SUPER upset
Okay...we won't say what you're full of, Spitty! Nah, we're joking, of course. We think you're pretty handsome there...though you don't look particularly happy. Is the human still not paying attention to your needs? She better step up!!
Oh, definitely both, Spitty! Plus you have that whole "je ne sais quoi" thing going :)
Grace and beauty! Yous is one gorgeous package! Not as gorgeous as mes, but close!KissesNellie
Both, plus your are verrry handsome Spitty.
Very handsome! Come back and try out your first hop. We won't laugh (much) if you add a wrong link. Did you know you're our neighbor? Nor Cal kitties rule!
Leave me a meow or a hiss; I don't mind a hiss or two. . . or even a bitey.

2009 has been an amazing year of discovery for me.
I discovered that I am a woman of purpose and that my life is not just a happenstance. I am truly here for a reason and that reason is not simply to exist, but to serve others through my gifts and talents.
I discovered that you can't be angry with people for being who they are; you just have to learn to accept them as they are and decide how you will deal with them.
I discovered that I am not superhuman and I can't do everything by myself. Sometimes I need help and there is no shame in asking for it. Asking for help is not a sign of inability or weakness.
I discovered who my real friends are and who they are not.
I have learned to listen to my first instinct about things after being burned a countless number of times for doing the opposite.
I have discovered that compromising on matters that go against my morals, values and principals is not an option.
I have discovered that the word "no" is not the end of the world, but is often a blessing in disguise.
And most importantly, I have discovered that God is more amazing than I ever could have comprehended in the preceding years. My walk this year has been one that has taught me so much about God, and has also showed me that I have so much more to learn.
No longer am I afraid to be a witness to the fact that God and Jesus Christ are the answer to everything, and not in some sappy kind of way, but in a real way that makes perfect sense. And I never understood it until I got older but now that He has revealed Himself to me I am grateful.
I am grateful for my husband, my children, my family, my health and every other blessing the Lord has seen fit to bestow upon me. I have learned to take nothing for granted.
So as the New Year approaches, I look to 2010 with excitement and high expectations because my God is a good God and He has never failed me yet!
To all of my family and friends: If I haven't told you lately, and even if I have, I love you with all of my heart and I thank you for being a part of my life. If I have done or said anything to hurt or offend you, I ask you to please forgive me. And if you have done anything to hurt or offend me, know that I forgive you.
I wish you peace and blessings in 2010 and going forward for all the days of your life! Enjoy life, love hard, and have a happy New Year!

The 49ers inked guard Laken Tomlinson to a three year contract extension which will take him through the 2021 season. Tomlinson, who the 49ers acquired in a trade from the Detroit Lions for a 2019 fifth-round draft pick shortly before the start of last season, has clearly been earmarked as a starter at the guard position for the team moving forward.
In the statement the 49ers released to announce the signing, General Manager John Lynch stated, “Laken is a very talented player who has improved consistently since joining the team one week before last year’s season opener. This offseason, his hard work and dedication paid off as he continued to progress and performed at a high level. We were confident we could work out a contract extension with Laken and we are fired up to get that done before training camp.”
Tomlinson, a former first round pick who flamed out in his first home, appears to have satisfied the faith shown in him by the 49ers and the man who selected him in 2015, Martin Mayhew. Per PFF’s Jeff Deeney, Tomlinson graded out as a top ten guard in the final five games of the season with Jimmy Garoppolo under centre.
— Jeff Deeney (@PFF_Jeff) June 22, 2018
These performances earned him a three year, $18 million extension (with $10 million guaranteed) which makes Tomlinson the 25th highest paid guard in the league in average salary, and pays him considerably less per year than the one year fifth-year option the 49ers declined, which would have cost $9.625 million. Now the team has locked up their man, ensuring some continuity on a line that returns only two starters from last season and hopefully ensuring the 49ers benefit from Tomlinson in his prime years.

HAVING lost Ricky Evans to Aberystwyth Town and with Lee Hunt looking certain to put pen to paper with Rhyl today, it has not been a good week for Bangor City.
But this win - only their second in six matches - gave manager Peter Davenport and his players a big lift.
"It was an important win and pretty
comfortable," said the Citizens' boss.
"To lose Ricky and Lee is disappointing, but we have plenty of options up front. I am looking to strengthen and will have four quality players back from injury in the New Year."
Peter Hoy gave City a 66th-minute lead before impressive 19 year-old-striker Les Davies added two more to seal it in the final quarter of an hour.

we talk every day. or at least we try to. time constraints. work. the rotation of the earth. these things are hurdles.
this is the first month out of the five where i've been working. thank goodness for staffing agencies and the large expanse of massachusetts that's been corporatized. the first three months were in a delightful little town. a town that has an old timey park complete with white gazebo and a plaque reading "a main street town". it's lovely.
small. quaint. village-esque. read: not much going on.
but that wasn't the main problem. i was depressed. i get that now. i didn't really feel depressed. i just. i was just not motivated. i wasn't interested in doing a whole heck of a lot. cleaning. laundry. cooking. looking for a job. filling in visa forms. none of it.
i think lots of reason are obvious. others maybe are a bit more deeply rooted. hidden by years of undergrowth and strangling figs. you'd have to hack with a machete just to reach the spot where they are buried. perhaps dig a little with your fingers. to find more explanation for the depression. regardless. i was unhappy.
it's a vicious cycle really. you're sad about something. so you stop doing other stuff. then you get sad about the things you stopped. then about how you have no money. then about how you're lazy and aren't "really" trying to find a job. and then it's all a giant katamari ball full of little clones of your insecurity. all legs and arms wriggling. screaming and wailing. as you push yourself farther and farther. gathering speed. and collecting more of your crazy. more of your "issues".
but i'm here now. i'm working. i'm motivated. despite this weekend playing video games, i'm getting myself out. i make plans. i see people. i've been blogging *waves hand to blogosphere*. i've been reading. i've even been eating healthier.
and yet. i'm still unhappy. don't get me wrong. all the above is great. but the daily chats. the talking long distance to someone who by all rights, should be next to me. it tears at my heart. you've got to think about it. four months. of me not working. of my debt still being there. of me being depressed and lazy. he's a saint. but i can hear the weariness. as we discuss yet another problem that came up. new tires for the car. my credit card being over the limit (!). the car stalling. the challenges of feeding ourselves for less than 20 bucks a week (10 gbp for him).
this situation blows. and not the good kind like through a party noisemaker or a bubble wand. this is the really crappy kind. like a warm breeze over the thawing shit, from the neighbors giant dog, which has been buried under the snow for the past three months. or the musty smell of day old vomit and urine which wafts off the homeless dude on the bench as he sits in the sun.
so even after we cashed in my pension plan from the old office. we're still short. we have to wait til he gets paid and i get paid this week. and then, fingers crossed, i can pay the application fee.
of course. then that leaves me the small problem of working up enough funds to fly home.

Germany’s Christoph Terhechte will receive the Korean Cinema Award at this year’s Busan International Film Festival in October. He is being recognized for his significant contribution to Korean cinema.
Terhechte has regularly invited Korean films to the Forum section that he runs as part of the Berlin Film Festival (Berlinale) each February. The Busan festival said that Terhechte “has consistently introduced Korean films from oldest to newest and played an essential role in making a wide range of Korean cinema available to global audiences and diverse film industries.”
His recent Korean selections have included “10 Minutes” (2013) by Lee Yong-seung: non-fiction “Diary” (2013) by Jung Yoon-suk; “A Dream of Iron” (2013) by Park Kyung Kun; “End of Winter” (2014) by Kim Daehwan; “Autumn, Autumn” by first-time director Jang Woojin; and Korean classic “Aimless Bullet” by Yu Hyun-mok.
Two years ago, Terhechte’s fellow Berlin programmer Wieland Speck, the longtime head of the Berlinale’s Panorama section, received the same honor.

I am sure a lot of us are glued to our televisions watching our countries at the XXX Olympics. The modern Olympics started in 1896 in Athens, Greece. The original Olympics date back to ancient Greece when the city-states competed against each other. The games were revived in the late 19th century and commenced in the ancient city of Athens, where they originated. The United States has had an interesting niche in Olympic history, besides the amazing athletes that broke records and medaled in the last 30 games, concerning the nation’s flag. At the Parade of Nations in 1936, the U.S. Team and its flag bearer began, consistently, refusing to dip the U.S. flag to foreign leaders and the tradition was kept alive at the 2012 Olympic Parade of Nations.
There is some confusion of the legacy of this tradition. The first time an incident with the U.S. flag occurred was at the 1908 Olympic games, ironically, held in London. American shot-putter, Ralph Rose, refused to observe the custom of dipping the flag to the host country’s leaders. It is not clear whether the incident was fueled by anger over the U.S. flag not being displayed at the stadium, or was it resentment that the Irish-American athletes held against the British? It is a hazy area of history that remains a mystery, but this is where the tradition has its roots. However, our flag did dip in the 1912, 1924 and 1932 Olympics. The consistency of refusing to dip our flag came in 1936. It was the year of the XI Olympiad held in Nazi Germany’s capital city, Berlin.
Some individuals in the Unites States tried to stage a boycott of the 1936 Olympics and insist on not sending U.S. athletes to the games. Their argument was by sending athletes to Berlin to compete was only showing support for the Nazi regime and its anti-Semitic policies. Many Jewish organizations pushed for the boycott of the game as well, but in the end the Unites States sent its athletes and refused to let political issues interfere with the Olympics.
Adolf Hitler and his propaganda machine wanted to use the Olympics as a stage to show the world what Germany had transformed into. When visitors poured into Berlin, the city was clean and there were no signs of anti-Semitic sentiment. Free press had returned for the duration of the Olympics and Hitler urged the host country to treat their international guests with hospitality. Hitler had transformed Berlin into a fascist “utopia” and used the Olympics as an opportunity to show it before it turned back into a hardened police-state once again.
The opening ceremony was marked with cheers of “Sieg Heil”, the showcase of the stiff-armed Nazi salute and the Olympic banner over powered by the waving red, white and black swastika flag of the Nazi Party. Nation by nation marched in showcasing their athletes and presenting their country’s banners to the crowd and Hitler. Each country dipped its flag as a sign of respect to the host country’s Führer. As the United States of America walked by the box of Adolf Hitler, the Stars and Stripes flew high and never dipped to the fascist leader. This marked the consistent beginning of the Unites States refusing to dip its flag to a foreign leader. It was the one way our country symbolically defied the Nazi’s.
So there you have, it all started in 1936 when the United States athletes refused to dip the nation’s flag to a foreign leader. In the case of 1936, it was a sign that the United States would not dip its flag or show respect to a dictatorial nation. After the Berlin incident, it was only solidified as the U.S. and U.S.S.R. were engaged in a war of ideology and arms race. Some view it as a disgusting display of Americanism or disrespect to others nations, while others see it as a sign of pride of America, a democratic nation, that will stand tall and never dip or bow to other nations. On July 27, 2012, as the American Flag streamed passed the box of the Queen it did not dip, maintaining the 76 year tradition.
What do you think? Should the Unites States give in and show some respect to foreign leaders at future Olympic games, or should the policy of “Never Dip” be continued?

The casomorphins of bovine milk seem to have opposite effects to human breast milk on infant development, but what about cow's milk A2? Spectacled Saffron is opposed to the leading drug for severe Alzheimer's disease. What is the main global authority on carcinogens to say on mobile phones? Do Mobile Phones Cause Brain Tumors or Not? Whenever there is a trillion dollar industry - be it Big Food, Big Tobacco, Big Pharma or Big Telecom - there is so much money involved that science can be manipulated.
Planck for human development in Berlin. His research is published in the journal Scientific Reports. The researchers analyzed data from 341 participants in the Berlin II aging study, all of whom lived in the city and were between 61 and 82 years old. They have specifically examined three different indicators of the structural integrity of the brain. separate information on several key regions of the brain.
Ever realized that you were brought home but that you had not really paid attention to it? The cerebral scans have revealed that when your mind wanders, it goes into "autopilot" mode, which allows you to continue without too much thinking. Our autopilot mode seems to be managed by a set of brain structures called Default Mode Network DMN. Several studies have shown that the DMN seems involved in the assessment of past events and in the planning of the future.
This study has not been reproduced yet. One possible consequence of Ward's work extends beyond smartphones. Most office workers now know that "multi-tasking" is a mistake. The brain does not perform two tasks at once, because it makes constant and costly changes between tasks. But Ward says that certainly not multi-task is not very useful either. "When you succeed in not doing multitasking, that is, when you do a 'good job', it's not quite positive," he said. said.
In spite of the previous results, the current onedy found no increase in theta activity of the EEG or hypnotic susceptibility. There are potential explanations for the mixed results regarding the operation of binaural beats. Some studies have argued that binaural beats are not suitable for a single approach and that individual factors need to be considered. While an individual can respond well to all types of binaural beats, someone else may not respond at all.
Creating a vision chart as a visual reminder of your vision of life, your dreams and your goals is helpful, but the truth is that we can not spend too much time during the day. To watch it. But unlike the vision board, we look a lot at the screen of our phone! You can use your phone as a demonstration tool in several ways: - Take a picture of your vision board and put it as a background.
If both sounds are played back by stereo speakers then the binaural frequency can still be heard - like an audible pulsating sound - but the binaural beat auditive illusion will not happen because the two tones can interfere with each other. The difference in frequency between the two sounds must also be less than 30 Hz, because anything greater than that would mean that both sounds would be captured separately by the two sounds. ears, so that no beat would be perceived.
Another could be "Wherever I go, I am attracting prosperity and financial abundance." Experiment with several different formulations with the statement that strikes a special deal with you . Repeat him in the mirror every day. Cut out silver images and surround them with other images (or words or drawings) that connect you to the things you will do when you manifest money successfully. Keep it in your room or office, and let it fill you with excitement and good feelings every time you see it.

An excellent baker knows that he is as good as his imagination and his cooking utensils. Covered with chocolate Katie is spilling over her essentials. If you play 2 sound waves whose frequency is very close (but not exactly the same), you get a phenomenon that causes beat frequencies between the 2 sound waves. As it turns out, if you play these 2 frequencies separately in your 2 different ears, your brain tries to solve the difference between the 2 frequencies and the the beat frequency even if itthat is not here.
And that everything should be spread a little more evenly? If so, it would seem that you have fallen into the trap of the spirit of traps that stagnates too much of us! Whether you're just starting out in pursuit of your goal, or you're already operating and looking to take things to the next level - having a competitive mindset based on the rarity earned "to serve you. I listened to a podcast recently that really helped me to start visualizing what real abundance would look like and feel in a metaphorical sense.

Four Words ~ Thy
Greetings Dear Reader,
Pronouns have always been peculiar to me. They ebb and flow in their use and meaning. They are misused and even politicized. Pronouns change form over time as well.
Pronouns derive their meaning from context. It is one of the reasons they are so useful. Using then properly is important because the wrong pronoun can point us in the wrong direction. A plural pronoun used where there is a singular subject can be confusing. It is why using “their” to avoid gender specificity is inaccurate.
This tiny word “thy” is an archaic pronoun that means “your”. In context of the phrase we are building it refers to the Father. It points to the God of the Universe with three tiny letters. It signifies that the Father is the subject of what we are about to say.
At some level the Father should always be the subject of our purpose. He calls us home, reminding us that he is our Home. He asks that we follow his Son. He asks that we put love above all that we do.
It is with this word that we approach the Father and call to him. I must never let this tiny possessive pronoun cloud the understanding of the one I approach. I must always realize who it is I am addressing.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”

I know I shouldn't smoke but I do. What is more, I cannot write 'bongs' without having a cigarette at the same time.
My habit is to go outside, with a piece of paper and a pen, to light up and to draft.
Last night I was presenting News at Ten. The brilliant Camila Mankabady was the programme editor and my dear friend, Christopher Terry, was lead writer.
We'd nattered and settled on Clinton's emails, Uber, the Calais refugees and Antarctica.
Off I went.
On leaving the building, I was confronted by the presence of a beautiful but still bird; it was sitting on the steps, no bigger than a pigeon and with the stunning feathering I associate with fledglings.
I moved closer, and it got up onto its feet; I inched closer still, and it flapped its wings.
No broken bones, then, but it had an air of being distressed.
Hungry, disorientated, exhausted? All crossed my mind but, whilst I am an animal lover, I am not a vet.
I photographed it and sent the image to my friend, Sir John Randall, the former MP and deputy chief whip, who is a noted 'twitcher'.
"Thoughts?", I asked.
He is in America and didn't get my enquiry until later.
Another 'tweep', however, ventured: "Baby herring gull".
Several colleagues, leaving and entering the building, also pause; it was a compelling image of a wonderful creature but one no longer at peace with the world.
Someone called the RSPCA and their initial reaction was to say that, if he/she was still there in the morning, they'd come and have a look.
We gently suggested we'd like action tonight. It was 9pm, very dark and it was getting cold.
What is more, Grays Inn Road is a busy road and there was no cover in which this forlorn creature might take sanctuary.
When I came out at 9:30, for my "final fag", he/she was in a box.
Thinking the bird would starve or dehydrate overnight, I protested to the kindly security man who explained the RSPCA had heard our pleading and were sending a team to collect our friend.
When I re-emerged, after the bulletin to head home, the bird and box were gone.
The RSPCA had proved true to their word.
Today, they tweeted me to confirm the bird had, indeed, been collected and had had an initial check-up at their Harmsworth Animal Hospital.
They'd agreed he/she was exhausted and had sent him/her on to the South Essex Wildlife Hospital for more checks and some 'tlc'.
You can imagine my joy when I received these picture of the bird, being tended to by nurses and being proudly held by a guy who I guessed had collected the creature from the steps of ITV News.
We're keeping in contact and my 'bong-writing, ciggie gripping' fingers are firmly crossed for a good outcome.
Amidst the pain and pressure of the day job, it was a happy saga.
A fellow creature's discomfort proved a cause of concern to many of us; a brilliant charity did its thing as only the RSPCA can; and a Wildlife Hospital, another charity, are hopeful they can restore our young herring gull to its former glory.
It just made me feel good.
Find out more about the South Essex Wildlife Hospital.

“Then He Said to me, Son of Man DIG into the Wall!” Ezk8:8
Over the years I’ve seen many people who recognized something was seriously wrong with the Christian churches. Although none of them could put their finger on the problem, they seemed to know that the Gospel being preached was NOT the Gospel of the Bible. Many along the line have attacked particular doctrines and the Luke warmness of the people. But nothing they have done has made any impact into the massive hypocrisy in the churches. Some have vehemently come out against the false doctrine of eternal security, calling it: ‘Cheap Grace’! They have written large volumes and spent tremendous effort to combat it in debates, with attempts to expose the fallacy to the people of the church.
Still they gain no advantage over the lies. Iniquity abounds and the lies just keep getting worse. Those of us who have Dug Deep into the Wall and SEEN their abominations going on inside the temple, realize that the ENTIRE SYSTEM has gone Corrupt! They not only Preach Lies to the people, promising them LIFE while they remain SLAVES to their Sins! But they Rejoice in their iniquity as though it was True! In ancient times the false teachers would say: ‘No evil shall befall you!’ Jer23:27, ‘The Lord said you shall have Peace! And EVERYONE WALKS according to the imagination of his own heart!”
NOTHING has changed in four thousand years. The people still clamor after the Lies and Believe they are Safe and Secure in God’s hands. They Steal, murder (in their hearts!) commit adultery, (with their eyes as well as bodies) swear falsely, speak abominations and go after false gods. Then Come and Stand before the Lord (in their churches!) and Say ‘We are delivered from our sins in Christ!’ Jeremiah7:7-10. They trust in Lying Words that CANNOT Profit! But to the Pastors in the churches it’s La La Land. They haven’t got a CLUE what’s coming down on their heads. EXACTLY the same attitude Ezekiel and Jeremiah encountered thousands of years ago.
Yet NO ONE inside the System, who THINKS they are combating the hypocrisy, can see the head of the Snake. Collectively they have NEVER seen a real conversion. Mainly because their version of Salvation is based on the same lies they are combating! Bottom line they STILL think a person can be Saved by ‘Receiving’ Jesus or Repeating some words All of Which eliminates real the Repentance Preached by the Apostles, recorded throughout the New Testament. (Acts20:21, 26:18-20, 2Cor7:10-11, Matt3:1, Mk1:15)
Many of these Teachers will even mention that the Bible Does Not support the ‘Receive Jesus’ method but Continue to Preach it as their Salvation message! WHY?
In the System they CANNOT see that their OWN Doctrines have brought about this so-called: Great Falling Away. Problem is the people who have Received Jesus under the lies, Can’t fall away from the faith, BECAUSE they NEVER had Faith to Begin With! That’s why the Preachers remain Deaf, Dumb and Blind to the Real predicament: Which is, ‘EVERYONE IS GETTING SAVED IN THEIR SINS!!!’
The end product is: NO MATTER what the Pastors say about the end times or if they recognize that something is desperately wrong with the Modern Day Christianity, the outcome is always the same. As long as they REFUSE to Revolutionize their method of Gospel Presentation and bring it into line with the Scriptures, AND keep referring to and treating the present day church goers as genuine Christians, NOTHING is going to change. If the People can continue to THINK they are Right with God and Covered by His Grace, they will make NO EFFORT to escape from the corruption of sin and get Clear of their wrong doings. (as the Bible Commands)
What is Required is a COMPLETE Renovation from Present day Churchianity. This would involve a Painful transition in everything they consider the common practice of the churches. In the Acts of the Apostles when the Gospel Message was Preached it brought about either a dramatic conversion of the Masses or a RIOT! (Acts7, 14, 18, 19, 21) Today, with the exception of the emotional based Denominations, the Churches follow a set pattern of ‘Worship’ and Preach only what is pleasing to the ears of the people. They Warn no one, Demand Nothing and make no progress toward the Kingdom. Even those inside the System who SEEM to know that the churches are in an awful state of affairs, will only go so far in exposing the error, because if they step too far over the line they would be EXPOSING Themselves!
Perhaps many of these Teachers stop short of going down the Rabbit Hole of Deception. Because inevitably, when you descend to the bottom of that hole you will come face to face with Satan! Whether its Politics or Religion, he is always lurking in the Shadows pulling the strings and doling out his demonic powers to power hungry minions who have sold their souls for gain. In the Religious realm they cannot openly support doctrines of devils, so they swallow the Red Pill of Deception and convince themselves that the Lies are actually Truth. They then learn to Confirm them in the Bible by ‘Molding’ their words into a fashion or form of godliness, (2Pet2:1-3, 2Tim3:5) that becomes the Strong Delusion few can escape from.
This is why you find such a wide variety of Preachers / Teachers in the Church System, and the reason it’s so easy to be deceived into a FLAVOR of Doctrine that tickles your fancy. Many have escaped the System and separated themselves from its deceptions, and began to Dig into the Rabbit hole for answers, ONLY to be drawn back in by some Slick sounding Preacher who APPEARS to be touching the Truth. But as the Bible so Clearly says: It’s merely ‘Great Swelling Words of Emptiness!’ WHY? Because it is still founded on the LIE! You must FIRST tear down the Strongholds of their lies and that means coming against their precious Doctrines with Full Force. No holds bard!
Just like the Prophets we are up against s SYSTEM of Destruction. DIG into that Wall and LOOK inside! They are Worshiping false gods and have erected an IMAGE of Jesus that complies with the lust of their flesh. The Preachers appear as Lambs but are Speak the language of the Dragon and they have brought the ENTIRE WORLD under their Deception. The spirit of error is in full control. Pulpits are seething with demonic energy and the people are memorized. There is NO TIME to Waste! Act Now or be swallowed up into the Pit of despair.
AVOID like Plague the Counterfeit Patriot movement wrapped in the American Flag and going forth as Soldiers of the Cross to Combat Tyranny on earth. It is FALSE and being used by Satan as another of his many diversions to keep you off the Narrow Way and believing that Striving to establish a Republic is Service to God. The Bible teaches no Such thing and the early Christians never participated in protest.
AVOID also the Multitude of charlatans, phony healers, false signs and wonders and emotion driven non-sense that has no bases in Scripture. Don’t get caught up in their fake revivals believing that you have touched by the Spirit of God. They have NOTHING to do with the TRUTH and the Only spirit among them is the spirit of error. Many of them are already Demon Possessed and very dangerous to befriend.
Always remember what the Apostles warned about the Armor of God and Satan as the Roaring Lion. DO NOT under estimate the Power and Depth of this System to which they have sold their souls.
Keep yourself Clear of the Heaps of Celebrity Preachers, book writers, Seminar speakers, TV personalities, and those puffed up with knowledge. False teachers love to be seen as Bible Scholars with ready answers to every objection, so they can impress you with their great learning. These large Ministries thrive on showmanship and glitter. They have tons of money at their disposal (the wages of unrighteousness!) to broadcast, publish and buy their way into every activity under the sun. That’s what makes them so appealing to the flesh. They offer every vain amusement the people could desire and top it off with a Gospel that has everyone Saved and Covered.
Remember: No Matter What a Preacher may say or how good it Sounds, IF he Believes that a person is Born in Sin hating God, then the Soul MUST be Saved in sin. NO EXCEPTIONS! Every Doctrine that defends this premise ends up at the Bottom of the Rabbit Hole directly from the Mind of Satan himself!
The Battle begins here, NOT in doctrinal debates. You MUST first Expose the fallacy of Original Sin and be able to FULLY Prove by the Word of God that man is NOT Born a Sinner by Nature. He becomes a Slave to Sin BY CHOICE, NOT By Nature. Then the force of habit puts him in Bondage.
Anything you can DO or Say inside the System will be to no Purpose whatsoever, unless you can pull down the Stronghold of this lie (original sin) First and foremost. It is what Supports the entire structure of False Doctrines across every denomination, creed, and all religious practice. As long as the Preachers are fully convinced that man is born a sinner, Christianity will remain a ‘Sinning Religion’ and everyone by Necessity MUST be Saved in Sin. Which means NO ONE is being Saved! That’s a hard pill to swallow, but when you do take it in, Your Eyes will be FULLY Open to the Truth.

When you come to stay with us at Filey Bay Caravans – we can assure you there is PLENTY to do. During peak season, the sites are full of fun activities and entertainment, and stepping off site brings even more things to do and see. But staying in Filey (as fun as that can be) is not the only thing you should do.
Surrounding Filey is a few other towns that are definitely worth a visit when staying with us. One of which is SCARBOROUGH. Scarborough is the original seaside resort, with beautiful scenery and a LOT to see and do whilst there. From indulging in history with a visit to Scarborough Castle, to taking a trip to the sandy beach for an ice-cream and a stroll – your day is more than likely going to be magnificent.
Another town that you should definitely take a trip to when staying in Filey is Bridlington. Again, if you’re a history fanatic then you will love this place, with its pre-Roman harbour and Bayle Museum. However, there is definitely something for everyone – including boat trips, bird-watching and a seashore safari.
Finally – Whitby. Whitby is famous for a whole host of things, including its recognition for serving some of the best fish and chips around. It is Whitby that inspired Bram Stoker for his legendary novel – Dracula. It is Whitby that is home to one of the UK’s main fishing ports. Whitby is a beautiful town that can be enjoyed by the entire family, and you can walk around it in half a day – I’d visit!

AceShowbiz - Lil B is working on a collaborative project with Frank Ocean. The Based God recently posted on his Dior Paint Tumblr a picture of him hitting the studio with the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All affiliate and wrote, "RARE photo of LIL B x FRANK OCEAN IN THE STUDIO TOGETHER!! NEW MUSIC COMING SOON! Collect this!"
Lil B, however, didn't reveal more details about the collaboration. It's still unclear if it would appear on his next record or on the follow-up to Ocean's critically-acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning 2012 debut album "Channel Orange".
Ocean's sophomore studio set is currently in the works. It's previously reported that producers Hit-Boy (Drake, Nicki Minaj) and Rodney Jerkins (Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child) were both enlisted to help Ocean finish the long-awaited LP, which has no official title or release date for now.

Below is an excerpt:
A product of the innovative Jonathan Edwards Society, a brainchild of this volume’s co-editor, Robert Boss (http://www.jesociety.org/), the book is beautifully designed, replete with 19 different figures (i.e. illustrations), and features a wide range of topics in Edwards studies.
My favorites were the essays by Sarah Boss, Rob’s daughter and a recent college graduate, who contributed a lovely piece on “Edwards and Thoreau: Typologies of Lakes”; and Chris Woznicki, the son of immigrants from Poland and Guatemala, who asks a question based on the work of Robert Jenson (a well-known Lutheran theologian), “Jonathan Edwards: America’s Theologian? A Latino Evaluation of Jonathan Edwards’s Harmartiology.” Other readers will surely find different chapters to love.
I share the editors’ hope “that this volume will not be alone, but will be followed by other publishing ventures that focus on Edwards, while simultaneously providing a voice to the rising generation of Edwards scholars” (p. 1). If these first fruits of their labors are a reliable indicator, such future publishing ventures will offer an edifying showcase for original work on Edwards by ecclesial theologians.

Fired Google engineer's suit claims reverse discrimination
- Author: Eleanor Harrison Jan 09, 2018,
Jan 09, 2018, 1:53
James Damore, the infamous author of the anti-diversity memo that got him fired from Google, is now filing a class-action lawsuit against the company for its discriminatory behavior against white males with conservative political leanings.
The lawsuit says the men were "openly threatened and subjected to harassment and retaliation" at the company, which they describe as an "ideological echo chamber".
Google fired Damore in August after he distributed a 3,000-word missive arguing that the "preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership".
The lawsuit says that teams that were less than half women were "shamed" by Google managers at a company event and that the presence of white people and men were booed at meetings.
Damore clarified his views in an interview with CNNMoney, noting that he was not "saying anything about the women at Google".
The suit alleges that Google employees who expressed views deviating from the majority at Google on politics or on employment practices including "diversity hiring policies, bias sensitivity, and social justice" were "singled out, mistreated, and systematically punished and terminated from Google", in violation of their legal rights.
Gudeman was sacked in December 2016 after a confrontation with a Muslim coworker on an internal Google forum, according to the lawsuit.
Not only was the numerical presence of women celebrated at Google exclusively due to their gender, but the presence of Caucasians and males was mocked with "boos" during company-wide weekly meetings.
Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who is a national committeewoman for the Republican National Committee, said "dozens" of current and former Google employees have reached out to her firm after learning she is representing Damore because they've suffering similar discrimination. Jr.'Meanwhile, the publisher of "Fire and Fury" said any efforts to suppress the book are "flagrantly unconstitutional.'In a letter to company employees Monday and shared with The Associated Press, Macmillan CEO John Sargent wrote "no American court" would go along with President Trump should he sue to have "Fire and Fury" withdrawn.Macmillan is the parent organization of Henry Holt and Company, which released the book".
The suit includes allegations from other unnamed current and former employees.

It also meant that I couldn't share some of my favorite photos. So I thought I would post the ones I would have shared with you already if I could have. I've picked one from each of the cities.
|Venice from the island of Giudecca|
|The dome of Florence's Duomo from the Uffizi patio|
|Hanging out the laundry in Rome|
We did as the Romans did, although we hung our laundry on the roof, as we didn't have windows to the courtyard.
I'm thinking about printing these photos out and putting them on the wall in some artistic arrangement as a souvenir of our Italian adventure.

Hilary Mantel - Wolf Hall
Apart from Hilary Mantel's wonderful writing, the answer is best summed up by Karl Marx's description of the ruling classes as a "band of warring brothers". In her tale of the rise of Thomas Cromwell, against the backdrop of Henry VIII's infatuation with Anne Boleyn, what Mantel does brilliantly is show the way that those at the top of Tudor society are in a constant fight for power and wealth at the same time as they try to present a united front to the rest of society. The jockeying for position, the way courtiers fall in and out of favour, the fear that they might upset the king, or someone close to him is the meat and drink of this novel. Those who are able to play the game can achieve power and wealth far beyond the dreams of most. Ruling class women, whether Queens or Ladies in Waiting are prized for their ability to produce heirs. Wolf Hall is not some romantic novel, it feels brutally real. There is little marriage for love here, only for alliances and male children.
Mantel's Thomas Cromwell is done brilliantly. He's less the terrifying bully many of us know from the history books, more a thoughtful, intelligent schemer whose photographic memory and intellect is utilised to control and direct from afar. At times he appears to be more an observer on great events. But if his rise to power on the coat tails of Cardinal Worsley, followed by a quick jump of ship might reminds one of a less than average liberal democrat MP it is carefully timed, designed to maximise personal gain.
Mantel's Cromwell is haunted by his own demons - his violent father and his lowly upbringing, as well as the deaths of his beloved wife and children. These are some of the best passages, the ones that make the reader love Cromwell, and side with him even as he rises to the top of the Tudor dunghill.
The Tudor England in Wolf Hall is a grim and dirty place. Descriptions aren't detailed; this is a novel of dialogue and impressions. But Mantel doesn't neglect those at the bottom of society. The majority of the inhabitants of Medieval England aren't a backdrop to the story of the rich, they are a constant presence. A mob that the rulers fear and worry about, who might rebel, or side with the Queen against the King, or stone a bishop.
This 700 page novel never feels overwritten or difficult despite the massive cast of characters and complex plot. Mantel's use of language and humour is beautiful, though her characters seldom are. Her writing deserved the awards and I have no hesitation in recommending it, as well as looking forward to part two.
Mantel - Bring Up the Bodies
Mantel - A Place of Greater Safety

Anne M. Donnelly, age 99, resident of Norwalk, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2018. Born in Stamford, the fifth child of Frank and Carmela (Sabia) DeFormato, who immigrated to the United States in 1906 from Avigliano, Provincia di Potenza, Italy. Anne attended Stamford schools and as a young woman, worked at Yale & Town. Anne enjoyed dancing and telling her great grandchildren of her childhood and how she met her husband, Maurice Francis Donnelly, at a dance. They married in 1938 and raised four children. Once Anne and her husband married, Anne’s main job was being a loving and devoted wife and mother.
In 1954 Anne danced the Foxtrot in the Harvest Moon Ball with Mario DeCarlo. Although they did not win, their photograph was the centerfold of the NY Daily News. That photo captured one of her most cherished memories. Anne became a resident of The Marvin, Norwalk in 2005 and loved living there, where she had beautiful friendships with many of the residents. She loved solving crossword puzzles and worked jigsaw puzzles for hours. She also loved playing Bingo with the residents. Anne was among the residents at The Marvin that created beautiful quilts to send to the troops abroad. She also crocheted and created beautiful crewel artwork for each of her children and grandchildren.
Anne is survived by her loving children, Maureen Moccia and her husband Gene of Norwalk, Dorothea Sanborn of Texas, Francis (Jim) Donnelly of California and Anthony Donnelly of Canada; her loving grandchildren, Allyson Vallerie and her husband John, Daryl Moccia and wife Jennifer, Amy Bruzzone, Jason Bruzzone and wife Kaelin; and six great-grandchildren, whom she adored and was “GG” to them; Shannon and Erin Vallerie, Merrill and Celia Moccia, and Ava and Zachary Bruzzone, along with many, much loved nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her loving husband Maurice in 1962, her parents Carmela and Frank and all of her siblings; Nell Tota, Peter DeFormato, Marie Guasco, William DeFormato, Jean Mackey, Frances DeFormato and Palma Burns.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 AM on Monday, July 16 at St. Matthew Church, 216 Scribner Ave, Norwalk, with burial to follow at St. John Cemetery, Darien. Friends may greet her family on Monday at the church from 9:30 until Mass begins. In lieu of flowers, Anne has requested that anyone who would like to honor her memory may make contributions to St. Matthew Church, 216 Scribner Ave, Norwalk, CT 06854 or The Marvin, Under One Roof, 60 Gregory Blvd, Norwalk, CT 06855.
The family would like to thank all the terrific caregivers from Masonicare Home Health and the staff of The Marvin, as well as the wonderful caregivers at Autumn Lake Healthcare for the love and compassion shown to Anne.

While you may be living the dream as a self-employed person, be it as a freelancer, consultant or artist, giving up a steady salary puts you in a challenging position when asking for bank loans. This is due to the fluctuating nature of income sources for the self-employed.
But no matter your employment status, loan applications are being rejected owing to various factors including property purchase cooling implements undertaken by Bank Negara Malaysia.
Even with all this negativity, you can still make yourself a prime candidate to receive financing, here’s what you can do to improve your chances:
Keep proper financial records in line with accounting standards
It’s good practice to maintain your accounts not just for the sake of a loan but for the overall management of your business. Not having a clear picture about your own profits and losses, expenses and incomes, will make it difficult for banks to estimate your level of affordability (do try our home loan affordability calculator to evaluate yourself).
If you don’t have a basic understanding of how to manage the monetary ins and outs of your business, consider taking a short course or go the quick-fix route by hiring a bookkeeper to help you.
Note that the services of a good bookkeeper can be expensive, but it is a necessary expense because well-maintained records (showing healthy, regular earnings) indicate to banks that you are able to manage your finances well.
Make regular EPF self-contributions
Let banks appreciate the consistence of your income by making periodic contributions to your EPF account for at least two years. If you are able, try to deposit every month to show steady income patterns akin to that of an employed person who draws a monthly salary.
Additionally, remember that savings from your EPF Account 2 can be withdrawn to reduce or pay off home loans. Thus, having a tidy sum in this account will provide an important assurance to the lending bank in that you do have backup options to maintain payments (if at some point you are unable to keep up with instalments).
Declare income taxes
Your income tax statement for the last three years can be an invaluable boost toward getting your loan approved. Why? Because it is proof that you are profitable and working backwards, you’ll see why it’s a big mistake to minimize tax payments by downplaying parts of your income (not to mention illegal).
Your skills as part of the self-employed workforce and your ability to be gainful will be measured in part by your income tax statement (plus, most loan applications require it anyway). In fact, it is a snapshot of your “official” finances, so if you want to buy a home with a bank loan, do declare everything and pay your taxes in full and on time.
Get a guarantor
To reduce the risk and liability you pose as a self-employed individual, find a credible guarantor to support your loan. A proper, reliable guarantor should have a strong employment background, and will essentially be evaluated on the same criteria as the loan applicant.
However, when engaging a guarantor, be upfront about your ability to repay the loan, as he or she will bear the financial and legal repercussions if you do not make good on repayments.
The major objection banks have with self-employed individuals is that their income is unstable. To counter such doubts without getting a full-time job, try getting a part-time one instead.
Banks will generally have more confidence if your employer is reputable, and at the very least a private-limited company (newly-formed enterprises do not hold as much weight).
Save salary slips from your part-time employment as proof of the minimum income guaranteed every month, in addition to other sources of earnings. Moreover, your employer can serve as a reference to further support your loan.
Show financial strength
Consider pledging collateral, in the form of other properties or financial assets like stocks, bonds, or a life insurance policy (promising absolute assignment to the lender). You might also want to open a fixed deposit account with the lending bank to back your position.
Additionally, if you can put down a greater deposit, you’ll improve your chances with a lower borrowed amount. Mortgages that offer 90% to 100% financing will be somewhat difficult to obtain. Try to apply for a lower interest, flexible loan that provides you more freedom to manage monthly instalments. Check out our comparison page to help you find the most appropriate loan available.
You could also build a credit history by using a credit card, a good record of timely payments enhances your creditowrthiness.
While you work on strengthening your position to get your loan approved, take note of other matters that could equally hurt your chances:
Don’t rack up credit card bills or default on your borrowings in any way. These are red flags that will affect your credit status and severely hurt your chances of getting financing.
If you indeed have loan defaults or are in arrears, make sure to clear them off completely and wait 12 months (CTOS can hold debt information indefinitely) before applying.
- Perform a self-check with CTOS and CCRIS before applying for your loan and if there are any discrepancies, do contact them to seek clarification and rectify the issue.
Making the decision to work as an independent worker can be extremely rewarding, but of course freedom comes at a price. Your lack of ties to permanent employment in addition to fluctuating income will make you somewhat of a ‘risky’ candidate.
Nevertheless, there is a lot you can do to negate that perception, but as you may have noticed, planning ahead is key. Buying a house must not be a spur of the moment decision because you will need time to gather your financial strength as a self-employed individual. In other words, showing a pattern of financial reliability is necessary in order to be seriously considered for a loan.
On the bright side, many self-employed individuals have successfully obtained home loans, so it is definitely an attainable goal – just improve your financial position, apply to more than one bank and keep your fingers crossed.
