Sweet little home in a convenient location. Clean, fully stocked and close to the beach. The owner Joel, is super and was sincere in wanting us to enjoy our stay. He checked in with us upon arriving and leaving. This was our first time in the area and he took the time to give us helpful info. It just so happened that there was a lengthy red tide and Joel helped us maneuver the beaches that were least affected. The private beach was beautiful, and it had a little shade from the trees. We loved the area and will definitely be back!

By May 2018, Data Protection Impact Assessments will be compulsory for a number of organisations.
Also known as a Privacy Impact Assessment (“PIA”), PIAs are compulsory under the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) where a “type of processing in particular using new technologies, and taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, the controller shall, prior to the processing, carry out an assessment of the impact of the envisaged processing operation on the protection of personal data”.
So what does this mean?
A PIA is essentially a risk assessment of proposed processing of personal data. If your organisation is processing personal data that is likely to result in a high risk to the data subject’s rights, a PIA must be carried out prior to commencing that processing.
When do I need to carry out a PIA?
In addition to where there is a high risk to the data subject’s rights, a PIA is mandatory in the following situations:
- Where there is systematic and extensive evaluation of personal aspects relating to natural persons, which is based on automated processing, including profiling, and on which decisions are based that produce legal effects concerning the natural person or similarly significantly affect the natural person.
Who does this apply to? E.g. financial institutions who conduct automated loan approvals, data analytic providers, online marketing companies, and search engines with target marketing facilities.
- Processing on a large scale of sensitive personal data and personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences.
Who does this apply to? E.g. Healthcare providers, insurance companies.
- Systematic monitoring of a publicly accessible area on a large scale
Who does this apply to? E.g. local authorities with CCTV in public areas, leisure industry operator with CCTV outside nightclubs, bars, restaurants and shopping centres.
As a data controller or processor, you must consult with the Supervisory Authority prior to processing where a PIA indicates that the processing would result in a high risk to the safety of the personal data. When the Supervisory Authority considers that the processing would infringe the GDPR, the Supervisory Authority shall provide written advice to the data controller or processor. As part of the consultation process the Supervisory Authority will require the following:
- The responsibilities of the controller and/or processor
- The purposes and means of the intended processing
- The measures and safeguards in place to protect the personal data
- Contact details for the Data Protection Officer (DPO)
How is a PIA carried out?
A PIA engagement can vary depending on the nature and complexity of the processing operations. The process typically involves several key stakeholders within an organisation and is overseen by an ‘internal sponsor’ who is either the current DPO or is intended to take up this role in the medium term. Prior to the commencement of a PIA, the following conditions and measures should be taken into account when determining the suitability and practice of the process:
- Where the processing is likely to give rise to a risk to the data
- The involvement of the DPO
- A systematic evaluation of proposed processing
- Identification of risk
- An outline of the measures being taken to mitigate those risk
- An outline of structures and measures planned to achieve compliance
- Where substantial risk is identified, the data controller must check with Supervisory Authority
A six-step process maps the lifecycle of the personal data in order to establish:
- The provenance of the data
- The manner of the processing involved
- The location of the processing
- The relevant stakeholders
- The deletion/anonymisation process
Step 1: Stakeholders, Systems and Entities
Compile a complete list of all relevant stakeholders, entities and system within in the organisation.
Step 2: Identify Processes
Compile a complete list of data management processes – a process is any event that is required to complete a business function.
Step 3: Workflow Analysis
For processes identified in Step 2, those parties conducting the PIA should then workflow each relevant process into appropriate ‘swim lanes’. Swim lanes graphically chart the flow of data into and out of the organisation.
Step 4: Data Protection Assessment
For each process identified in Step 3, the processing is categorised according to current and upcoming Data Protection legislation, areas of consideration and evaluation of potential risk.
Step 5: Risk Analysis
A Risk Register is created in parallel with Step 4 to measure risk against likelihood and severity.
Step 6: Implementation
An agreed implementation plan is formalised.
The PIA generates a finding report which identifies the high risk areas and provides specific recommendations as to how to remediate each risk. Moreover, a score card which measures the risks against likelihood and severity is also provided. This score card can be used as a benchmark to demonstrate progress and data protection capability improvement.
Where possible, throughout the report, practical recommendations are made as to how the participating organisation may improve its compliance with regard to national/supranational data protection legislation.
As noted above, a Risk Register is produced by the PIA. This is a living document containing specific details on the risk, recommendations, next steps, actions-to-date, and the risk rating itself. This part of the output documentation becomes the ‘active component’ which should be systematically monitored, reviewed and updated.
While PIAs will not be mandatory until May 2018, our advice is to now consider carrying out a PIA, as it will assist in getting your organisation ready for the GDPR and highlight what areas your organisation needs to focus on. Further, if your organisation comes to the attention of the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, your PIA will be your first line of defence.
Failure to meet your PIA obligations under the GDPR could result in fines of up to €10 million or 2% of the total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year, whichever is the higher.

So I didnt blog about ACE yesterday, so I will add it in here. Today I feel great!
Yesterday was day 3 of my ACE trial. There is not a lot of information on how exactly to take ACE so I thought I would try it on an empty stomach prior to breakfast. I felt more jittery before eating, but I did have a lot of energy. I ran out of spunk a bit earlier in the day as well. I still made it the whole day without a huge crash but I can definitely feel when I start fading a bit.
Today is day 4. I had raw juice for breakfast and then took the ACE about an hour later. I did not have jitters today, so I think perhaps my body is getting used to all the caffeine. My hunger is more noticeable today as well, that could be because I only had a raw juice for breakfast though.
I weighed in this morning at 177.8! Which is down from my last weigh in of 180.6. So excited! It was the first time since I have been back at it that I have seen a decrease! So I am going to take this as a victory.
4 days on ACE and I have lost weight. I am not saying that it is because of ACE, because I also know that I have made way better choices about what I eat and I have been drinking a ton of water. This is something I had been struggling with for the last few months. I also found myself chasing small children around on for about an hour this morning. (I am sure that helps). It does feel good though to make some progress! I will keep you posted as the ACE adventure continues!

Out of all the senses that we have, I really love the sense of smell. I love to sniff things, before I eat them. I guess you could say that I have a smelling fetish. Since today is a Thursday, and I want to discuss something that I love and I love the sense of smell. I am often times have a stuffed up nose, but I can still use it pretty well.
First and foremost one of my favorite smells in the whole wide world, is the smell of a new car. I have always loved that smell, and you can smell if you walk by the inside of a car showroom. I also love the smell of chocolate. It is such a sweet smell. Another favorite smell is the smell of grilling meat, at a Korean or Japanese restaurant. I am not a huge barbeque smoke fan, but the smell of cooking meat is heaven on earth to myself.
I also love the smell of sun block. It is such a sexy smell. What I love the most is when it is a hot day and I am on a crowded bus and some girl is wearing sun block. It reminds me of hot days of summer, and all the fun times that are associated with summer. I don’t really dig flowers too much or any of those kinds of smell, but on a cold and dry night, I do like the smell of burning wood from like a fireplace. When I smell that fireplace smell, it reminds me of cozy indoors and how sexy the winter can be. Winter is a sexy time, because even though everything get’s dark early and everything is cold, it does bring couples closer for that good loving.
When it comes to ladies, I love the way they smell. But I must point out that not every woman smells good in my opinion. Usually I would say about 10% of the women that I encounter and see are smell nice too me. It’s a combination of what they wear, perfumes and things of that nature, and their natural scent.
In terms of perfumes, I like them to be subtle, and not overwhelming. I hate it when women wear powerful perfumes or sprays it makes me think that maybe they using the spray or perfume to cover up some stinkiness. I hate that. I cannot really pinned down the name of the perfumes, that I like the most but when women wear body lotions from Victoria Secret, that can be so sexy. Especially the melon scented one or the strawberry or that blue colored one. All of those are so sexy they get my blood all worked up.
In terms of real scent, every women I have been intimate with has smelled different. Almost like night and day. Even girls from the same ethnic group, have smelled different. My ex smelled almost perfect, it is hard to describe in words, what exactly she smelled like. Maybe it not even really a describable scent, but more of a pheromone level, there was something about her scent that was amazing. It was like it drew me towards her. Even when we woke up together and she hadn’t dolled herself up, she smelled great. My ex before that, smelled nice too, but it was different. She smelled nice in a much different way. Hard to put into words.
I also think certain scents on ladies are pretty hot. Not all women can get away with this. I could tell you a few gross stories about a couple of ladies, I have known who were pretty fucking disgusting in their under regions, and I could tell you about a couple of ladies who were absolute perfection when it came to smelling down there.
Anyways, folks, that’s another topic for another day. Since we are on the topic of noses and smells, tomorrow, I will talk about why people smell so fucking bad and why people of certain parts of this fair world, smell terrible.
I will leave with a quote from the book CHRISTINE, written by Stephen King:
“Ain’t no smell better then a new car smell, well except maybe for pussy”

We come in contact on a pretty regular basis with residents in group home environments who previously lived with relatives. Often the previous living environment was not a nurturing one. In some cases, the relative acting as the caregiver verbally expressed their frustration with the arrangement and with the most biting words, painted the care as a burden for them and their household.
Unfortunately even after new living arrangements are put in place, the trauma of listening to certain words or having been on the receiving end of absolute abuse and neglect lingers. In one case the AFC resident physically assaulted a home staff member and quickly apologized, indicating his mind lapsed into a time when he lived with family and anger consumed him. This is very likely an indication of post traumatic stress associated with painful events.
All we can say to families is take a break, be mindful of what you say and thankful for the opportunity to help someone in need. That said, its important to also remember that when you feel you are at a breaking point, stop and do not hesitate to seek assistance using overnight respite programs, in-home care or other avenues to even-out the caregiving responsibilities. Your local Area Agency on Aging and other advocacy organizations could be helpful .
Probate Court judges and others with the authority are not quick to hear excuses when it comes to abuse of the vulnerable – adults and children. They also understand that our words can cause trauma.
Let’s all work to make things better.

Plumbing is an essential aspect of any home or business, and it plays a critical role in ensuring that your property is functional, comfortable, and safe. Whether you’re dealing with a leaky faucet, a clogged drain, or a more complex issue, professional plumbing services can help you address the problem and get your property back to optimal condition.
- Turn off the water supply: Before you begin any repairs, turn off the water supply to the tap you’ll be working on. This will prevent water from flowing while you work.
- Remove the handle: Depending on the type of tap you have, you may need to remove the handle to access the cartridge or valve. This can usually be done by loosening a screw or using a special tool.
- Remove the cartridge or valve: Once you’ve removed the handle, you should be able to access the cartridge or valve. Carefully remove this component and inspect it for damage or wear.
- Clean the component: If you notice any debris or buildup on the cartridge or valve, use a cloth or brush to clean it thoroughly.
- Reassemble the tap: After cleaning the component, reassemble the tap in the reverse order you took it apart. Make sure everything is tightened securely.
- Turn the water supply back on: Once you’ve reassembled the tap, turn the water supply back on and test it to see if the dripping has stopped.
Here are some of the top benefits of hiring professional plumbing services:
- Expertise: Professional plumbers have the knowledge, skills, and experience to identify and address a wide range of plumbing issues. They are equipped with the right tools and techniques to diagnose and fix problems quickly and efficiently.
- Safety: Plumbing work can be dangerous, particularly when dealing with gas lines, water heaters, or other complex components. Professional plumbers are trained to handle these components safely, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Cost-effectiveness: While DIY plumbing work may seem like a cost-effective option, it can actually end up costing more in the long run. Professional plumbers can identify underlying issues that may be contributing to the problem, preventing the need for costly repairs down the line.
- Quality workmanship: When you hire a professional plumbing service, you can be assured of quality workmanship. Professional plumbers take pride in their work and are committed to delivering results that meet or exceed their clients’ expectations.
- Convenience: Professional plumbing services are available 24/7, which means you can get help whenever you need it. This can be particularly useful in emergency situations when a plumbing problem needs to be addressed immediately.
In summary, professional plumbing services are essential for maintaining a safe, functional, and comfortable property. By hiring a professional plumbing service, you can address plumbing issues quickly and efficiently, reducing the risk of damage to your property and ensuring that it remains in optimal condition. If you’re in need of plumbing services, be sure to consult with a reputable and experienced plumbing contractor to get the help you need.

Scotch whisky added £5bn to the UK economy in 2014, new research has suggested - with £3.3bn of "direct impact". We'll drink to that...
The report, by the Scotch Whisky Association, found whisky creates 40,000 jobs, and supports salaries of over £1.4bn for UK workers.
The industry directly employs almost 11,000 workers, it said, with a total of just over 40,000 workers employed by the sector directly and indirectly.
Approximately 89 per cent - or £1.3bn worth - of salaries generated by the sector are paid to Scottish workers, with another £152m going to workers elsewhere in the UK.
And with another 40 new distilleries due to open across Scotland, on top of the nine which opened in the last two years, that will presumably increase.
What's interesting is the sector's contribution to UK exports: without Scotch whisky, the UK's trade gap would be 11 per cent wider, at £38.6bn. That makes it the top UK export, above mechanical machinery and works of art.
David Frost, chief executive of the Scotch Whisky Association, called on the government to "re-double its efforts to support distillers".
"At home, in the short term, a further two per cent duty cut in next month’s Budget would be a major boost, supporting small businesses that rely on the home market and further investment in the sector.” We can all dream, eh...

New Orleans Saints Assistant Head Coach/Linebackers Joe Vitt
Post-Practice Media Availability
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Watch Vitt's Presser
Opening Statement: “The week has gone along as we would do the regular season. Today was third down so the emphasis was on nickel. Our guys responded well. We had our third good practice in a row, so we will continue to build, try to get down to our final 53, and go through the evaluation process. We had another day of good work.”
How much have the injuries at linebacker slowed down the defense?
“The defense has been implemented. The install is over. We are fine tuning it now. The linebackers that are down have already been through the installation. They are not working right now, so their angles and their timing (are what they are missing on-field work on). If this would have been a regular season game,
Were you able to work on tackling this week?
“Yes, two days in a row of the main emphasis.”
Do you expect to see improvement?
“That is why we work on it. There is an expectancy level.”
How does that work in practice?
“We had full pads the first two days (of the week). (You emphasize) Proper angles to the ball, proper fit, see the target, your eyes are over your thighs and then you wrap up.”
Are they hitting each other?
“They are hitting each other. That is why we have the pads on.”
Was it a lack of fundamentals or a lack of effort on Friday night?
“Fundamentals. We don’t have a lack of effort around here.”
Do you have an update on
“I think he had a good breakfast. He has been in a good mood. I don’t know what music he listened to today, but I think he is having a pretty spirited day. He pulled a hamstring, he has a grade one. He should be back in about ten days.”
Is it a conscious decision to embrace the idea that the Super Bowl is in New Orleans this year?
“I can just share this with you: every year, we put our goals up, share those goals with the players and want our players to embrace those goals. Everybody in the organization, every person on our team knows what the goal is. Ever since we have been here, in 2006, the goal was and is to play in and win a Super Bowl. I don’t care if the Super Bowl is in Anchorage, Alaska personally, you want to play in that game. It is special because we would be the only team ever to host one and be in it. Once we introduce that goal, it is over now. We take it one day at a time, one week at a time, one game at a time, and now you start to work. If you keep looking at the end result, you are not going to take care of what is at hand. Every practice is at hand, every meeting is at hand. When you come in (the facility) in the mornings you want to have great install meetings. When you get through the install meetings, you want to have a great walk-through. When you get through the great walk-through, you (want to) have a great practice. When you get through with the great practice, you want to review the film. You are going to do that for four days and then you are going to get to the game. You are going to play one snap at a time, one series at a time, one quarter at a time, one half at a time and that is the process. If you do what you are supposed to do, you have a chance to be where you want to be. It was relayed to our team one time, what the goals and the aspirations are. You have to embrace it if you want to be a member of this team, but it really hasn’t been talked about since.”
Is there anything specific you look for in this game as opposed to the first two?
“We have to see it now. The veterans are going to play a little bit longer. They have been issued somewhat of a game plan. We have tried to structure this week like it was a regular season week. I believe they are excited to play and we are playing against a real good football team. This team spanked us last year in the preseason. They have a unique scheme with their stretch-bobs and their nakeds and throwing the ball down the field. (Gary) Kubiak is an excellent play-caller. He knows exactly what he wants to get done. Our hands are full.”
“We don’t think so. We will see where he is tomorrow. We don’t think so.”
Is the plan to keep
Do you feel like you are fine without him if he doesn’t play until week one?
What do you think about the offseason that
“I think Will is pushing the pocket this preseason in his pass rush better than he ever has. He’s had a great offseason now. We will play him a little bit more the last two (preseason) games here only because he is going to be out the first couple of games. He’s had an outstanding preseason. Will is a great leader on our football team. Will has been here since 2006, he knows exactly how we want things done, he adheres to that and he is a guy that the rookies gravitate to. He’s had a great preseason.”
Will this game hold more significance for those battling to make the 53-man roster?
“Sure. It is like anything else. You have to show improvement through the process. If a rookie came out and played really well in the first two games and all of a sudden he is not playing very well in the third or fourth preseason game, that is going to hold water. The process is you’ve got to get better every game because your plate is going to get more full and full with plays, formations, and things that you have to remember. The next game is the most important game.”
How have the other coaches dealt with approaching your suspension beginning week one?
“You are going to have to ask the other coaches that. I think since we started the offseason with the offseason conditioning program, then the OTAs and then we went into training camp, every coach on this team has done their job. The players have responded to every position coach. I think both units have responded well to the coordinators. Listen, nobody is going to take the place of Sean (Payton) like everybody knows. This program is in place. We have a job to do, know when to do it and how to do it and keep trying to do it better and better every day.”
What is the toughest part of your new role?
“Doing this (press conferences). Usually, I am in a meeting now with the linebackers. I don’t relish when we have to cut a player. We have an exit strategy here where we sit down and talk to every player that leaves our building. A lot of teams don’t do that, we do. That is not an easy job. Our coaches have done a great job, our players have done a great job, it has been my honor to do this.”
Without Lofton or Humber, who is going to get the heavy work at middle linebacker on Saturday night against the Texans?
“Do you have a ticket? You will see it.”
“I did. We will see.”
Does Darren Sproles’ absence mean anything for
“Absolutely. Cadet has to worry about his job and doing what he does so he can gain confidence in the coaches. He has to go out there and run routes and catch balls. He has to expand his role and be a good return man. He also has to be, on this football team, a good cover guy. He better not worry about where Darren Sproles is. He better worry about where he is and we will evaluate that when it is time to evaluate it.”
Has the fact that Darren has been out given him an opportunity for some of Darren’s snaps?
“It has been a great opportunity for him because he has been getting more reps because Darren is not in there.”
Do you get to see what he can do on plays designed for Darren Sproles?
“He is a good football player with a real bright future. I think what he has done a good job of since he was drafted is keeping his mouth shut and going to work. He hasn’t touched one of Drew’s (Brees) balls yet. We think he is going to be a real good football player. He is fast, quick, and has short-area power. He has really done a good job of retaining the defense. He does have a lot of confidence in his play. He makes a bad play and he lets it go and goes on to the next play which is a redeeming quality for a secondary member, so he has improved.”
Is there plan for what you will say or do when he finally does get an interception of Brees?
“Get a kick or something for him I guess.”
What are you looking for in the battle between kickers
“Who is the best kicker. I think it is a great battle. We drafted John Kasay, I think it was 1991 in Seattle, so I have known him a long time. Then, he has been a nemesis to us when he was with Carolina, beat us in two games in the last second. Then he comes here last year and has a tremendous season. Now, there is nobody in this organization that doesn’t have a ring unless we have Garrett Hartley because he got us a ring. It is a great competition. Again, let’s let this thing play out. We have two more games left. They have been competing every day in practice, they have been competing in the games, let’s let it play out.”

Along with winter's short daylight comes this constant comment from customers. It's one thing if it's after 8, but I'm hearing it in the 5 o'clock hour. Just because it's dark doesn't mean it's late people. I don't have bankers hours like you. So for 3 hours a day I have to respond. I often say "always". In July, if I have a long day and it's 8pm I never hear it. Because it's still light out. What do you guys say?

Health and Safety in the CACFP
Nutrition Services Division Management Bulletin
|Purpose: Policy, Action Required, Beneficial Information|
|To: Child and Adult Care Food Program Day Care Home Sponsors and Center Sponsors||Number: USDA-CACFP-14-2013|
|Attention: Child and Adult Care Food Program Sponsors||Date: December 2013|
|Subject: Health and Safety in the Child and Adult Care Food Program|
|Reference: Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations, sections 226.6(c)(5)(i), 226.16(l)(2)(vi), 226.16(l)(4)(i)–(iv), and 226.16(d)(4)(viii); U.S. Department of Agriculture Policy Memoranda CACFP 13-2013|
This Management Bulletin (MB) provides updated guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) regarding appropriate action when Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) monitors observe or suspect serious health or safety conditions in a day care home (DCH) or child care center. It offers information to help CACFP agencies detect and immediately report problems that may pose serious threats to children in care. It also instructs monitors to immediately report the situation to appropriate authorities and remain on the premises until those authorities arrive.
The primary responsibility of CACFP DCHs and centers is to protect the health and safety of those in their care. CACFP regulations require sponsoring organizations to notify appropriate state or local licensing, health, or law enforcement authorities when they observe or suspect conditions that pose an imminent threat to CACFP participants or the public.
CACFP monitors must exercise good judgment when making a determination of an imminent threat, since not every licensing violation is an urgent issue. The American Academy of Pediatrics, along with other public health organizations, publishes a resource that provides specific guidance on managing, reporting, and documenting incidents that pose an imminent threat. The publication is titled Caring for Our Children: National Health and Safety Performance Standards; Guidelines for Early Care and Education Programs (Caring for our Children). Sponsors can access information about this valuable resource on the Natural Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care and Early Education Web site at http://cfoc.nrckids.org/. This document recommends that child care facilities have a written plan for reporting and managing incidents that they consider to be threatening to the health, safety, or welfare of children, staff, or volunteers. Further, it recommends that child care facilities have procedures for training staff on the management, documentation, and reporting of such incidents.
When the monitor observes health and safety violations where an imminent threat is present, it is critical that the monitor respond appropriately and quickly to protect the safety of participants and the public. The USDA stresses that the health and safety of participants must always be the first and foremost consideration, and that CACFP monitors must respond in a fair and consistent manner.
Responding to Health and Safety Threats at Child and Adult Care Food Program Sites
When a monitor identifies an imminent threat at a CACFP site, the monitor must take the following actions:
- Call the proper authorities immediately
- Stay at the site until the appropriate authorities arrive and follow their instructions
The monitor must report the threat as soon as a threat is identified. Please note this is new guidance from the USDA. Monitors must now remain to report the situation while on site and stay until the authorities arrive.
Identifying Health and Safety Threats
CACFP agencies must train their monitors to recognize conditions that pose a threat to the health or safety of participants. Caring for our Children identifies the following situations as examples of imminent threats that should be reported immediately to the authorities:
- Lost or missing child
- Suspected maltreatment of a child
- Suspected sexual, physical, or emotional abuse of staff, volunteers, or family members while on the site of a child care facility
- Injuries to children requiring medical or dental care
- Illness or injuries requiring hospitalization or emergency treatment
- Mental health emergencies, such as threats from impaired family members who have easy access to a secured building
- Health and safety emergencies involving parents or guardians and visitors to the child care facility
- Death of a child or staff member, including a death that occurred outside of child care hours which was a result of serious illness or injury at the child care facility
- The presence of a threatening individual who attempts or succeeds in gaining entrance to the facility
Other examples of situations that could pose an imminent threat to children’s safety include leaving a child unattended, the existence of child play areas with easy access to busy streets, or aggressive animals in the children’s areas of care.
Action Steps When Health and Safety Threats Occur in Day Care Homes
CACFP regulations provide DCH sponsors the authority to act when they suspect that children are not safe in a DCH, or when the DCH is engaging in activities that threaten public health or safety (Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations [7 CFR] Sections 226.6[c][i] and 226.16[d][viii]). USDA guidance requires CACFP monitors to take the following actions:
- Initiate a suspension
When the DCH is suspended, their participation, including all program payments, remains suspended until the CDE completes an administrative review. If the CDE overturns the suspension following the administrative review, the DCH may continue to participate in the CACFP and may claim reimbursement for eligible meals that were served and documented during the suspension period.
- Declare the home seriously deficient and initiate the serious deficiency process (7 CFR 226.16[l])
The monitor must take this action regardless of whether the licensing authorities still have investigations or formal procedures pending or underway. Applying the serious deficiency process further minimizes risk to the CACFP and reinforces the sponsor’s authority to determine whether a facility meets the requirements for participation in the CACFP.
- Follow protocols to immediately stop payments to the DCH
- Notify the DCH immediately in writing that its CACFP participation is suspended, that it is being declared seriously deficient, and that the sponsor proposes to terminate the DCH’s Agreement for cause
- Provide a copy of the above DCH notification to the California Department of Education (CDE)
Providing a copy of the DCH notification to the CDE will alert the Department to the problem, allowing the CDE to monitor the situation, and provide technical assistance as needed.
Action Steps for Monitors When Health and Safety Threats Occur in Centers
The above instructions and action steps apply to detecting and reporting incidents of imminent threats that may occur in any CACFP setting, including independent child care centers, adult day care centers, at-risk afterschool centers, and emergency shelters.
When addressing health and safety issues in sponsored centers, CACFP sponsors should use the process they have developed for notifying centers of suspensions, serious deficiencies, and the withholding of payments.
In the case of independent centers, a CDE monitor who identifies health and safety threats must take immediate action and follow the requirements for suspension of the independent center’s participation (7 CFR Section 226.6[c][i]). Monitors must also initiate the process for declaring the center seriously deficient and for withholding payments to the center.
The CACFP Unit will develop written standards by June 2014 to help monitors identify and measure the severity of a health or safety threat, along with procedures for monitors to follow once a threat is detected. The CACFP Unit will announce these standards in an MB, and will include them in annual mandatory training in Program Year 2014–15.
If you have any questions regarding this MB, please contact your CACFP specialist.
A contact list of CACFP staff is available in the Download Forms section of the Child Nutrition Information and Payment System, Form #CACFP 01. You may also contact Nancy Charpentier, CACFP Unit Office Technician, by phone at 916-327-2991or by e-mail at email@example.com, to be directed to your CACFP Analyst.

To score with the beta male (average Joe), you must be recognized as a woman he would want to commit to and at least make a real attempt to be monogamous to, unless you are swingers or free love hippies.
The way there is deceptively simple. It does however, require an objective assessment of both his and your social status and sexual market value or SMV. If your target is out of your league, then he is better kept at the platonic level no matter how much he tries to get into your pants. More attractive guys consider themselves “slumming” or “dating down” when they pursue less attractive women sexually.
Don’t be fooled by how the guy looks. It’s his social status and his perception of yours that matters. His income and how established he is in the social circles of your area, with looks (mostly height) being the last priority matters for his social status. So even if he looks like an ogre to you, if he has money, he believes he deserves >7 or so on the media beauty scale for women. What this means exactly is that if you are fat or deviate from the Barbie doll ideal in any crucial way, it doesn’t matter if he nails you to the wall behind closed doors. He won’t want to be seen with you, so you have no long term potential unless you make yourself indispensable to him. The only way you’re going to do that is as a friend, but even then, he’ll probably be 50 years old before he understands your value as a real partner.
So it’s best to utilize the guy who’s out of your league as a social ladder of sorts. Hanging out with him will help to maximize the impact that your beauty, how ever great or small it may be, makes on observers. A strong and well regarded male friend is also protective, and filters out men who want to pursue you just for sex. When the two of you are seen together as friends, other guys around will be more careful how they treat you. Also remember one very important thing: men know men better than any woman ever could. If your male friend tells you that a guy is bad news, then 999 times out of 1000, he is absolutely correct.
This is one reason that it is not just morally wrong to use a platonic male friend as an emotional tampon, or a doer of favors, it is also stupid. If you keep him around just because he wants to shag you, as some kind
of free work slave or something, you’re wasting his potential. Men can be very loyal friends in so many other ways, if you don’t sexually
manipulate them, and keep it clear that your only interest in them is friendship. It should not be a consolation prize. Only do this if you see value in him as a person. This is one reason that a guy who you *would* do, if you weren’t sure it would end badly, can be the best friend you have. Besides, you help each other score.
Women see you with him, and decide they have a good chance, and he must
be worth being around since you’re there. This is called preselection.
It also works in your favor too. Men see him with you, and automatically
assess your looks. It might not make you appear to be prettier, but it will get your looks some extra attention. Also, being seen with a higher status man warns the lechers away. A man being in a visible position of protecting your honor makes it clear that you have some.
If your target is less attractive than you, then you could be in luck if the difference is substantial enough. The reason for this is because betas are always aiming upwards. In practical terms, if you are slim and have medium to large breasts, and a fairly symmetrical face and good teeth, that is good enough for most middle income guys. It’s not until higher income levels that guys usually start to get pickier about real beauty, but this is always in addition to the basic slim, not-too-muscular template.
Wear a little, but not too much makeup, in colors that compliment your
skin tone and your clothing. In lipstick though, the only color is
red. It’s worth the time to find the right red. You’ll need three. A milder red for normal days, a hotter red for days you’re trying to pull, and a rich but not gaudy red for night. For more suggestions, read Anton LaVey’s Satanic Witch. Though many of the tips are a bit dated, many still work just as well today.
If you’re not sure whether to be nice or a bit bitchy, err on the side of bitchy. Men complain about women bitchier than they feel she is entitled to, but in reality they like this. It doesn’t matter if you treat them like the dirt on your shoe so long as you’re prettier than their self assessed status is perceived to be automatically worthy of, and paying attention to them. You don’t want to curse like a sailor and be ill mannered…just bitchy in the way that you’re waiting for him to prove himself to you before you give him more affection. Get him used to a reward/punishment system because this is how he lives in every other aspect of his life. His boss doesn’t pay him for not working, and he prides himself in being a productive citizen who pays his dues. Make him pay his dues in effort and attention for you.
If you outrank a beta in social status, he will work hard to please you, and if he doesn’t have to work hard to please you, he won’t appreciate
you. You’ll seem too easy. It may seem harsh, but you’re actually doing a good thing for him. You’re allowing him to compete for your attention, and allowing him to be the man in the relationship.
The man needs to define the relationship. If you take it for granted that he’s going to be your boyfriend or going to commit to you, you’re putting the cart before the horse. Don’t give up anything, including sex, until he has truly won you.
If he gives up, then he was only in it for the shag anyway. A man in love, or who thinks he’s in love, doesn’t give up. Betas especially don’t let go of the opportunity to get hold of someone who will validate or increase their status.
You’ve been told that the way to get a man to love you is by being
kind to him, but this is dead wrong. You get him to love you by showing him that you can be kind. It’s in the realm of possibility for you to be kind, but he has to earn that.
What you must remember though, is that you have to be a lady to command real respect from a beta…a bitchy lady, who he can’t get close to without working at it, but a lady nonetheless. So if you don’t know how to use a fork, chew with your mouth closed, or dress properly, learn immediately. Find a lady or even better, a Gay man to teach you manners. Gay men have the best of both worlds in that they can be feminine, but they know what a man is looking at, and likes to see.
If you have any pants that don’t go all the way up to your waist, throw them away or wear longer shirts. Ladies never wear such things, and never have. A little cleavage is okay, but only a little. Your clothing can be fun, but it must be modest. You will turn more of the right heads by dressing well than by dressing in a whore costume.
Basically, if you want a gentleman, you must behave like a lady.
Now, men often think they are very slick, especially betas. They are the majority of men in the world, and because they’re men, value some degree of individualism even though they are unable to live that way. Almost every one of them thinks they are smarter than any woman. So they will try to fool you into thinking you mean more to them than you really do, in order to get into your pants. It is a form of sexual manipulation even though they don’t see it as such. They don’t understand that it’s much more difficult for a wifely type of woman to resist temptation than it is for a whore. Wifely type women are actually turned on by their partner.
So before you give in, make sure you’ve scored before he does. Here’s a handy checklist. When you’ve done all these things, then he takes you seriously.
1. You’ve been presented to his friends/social group as his girlfriend.
2. You’ve been presented to his parents or parental figures or whoever his emotional authority figure is, as his girlfriend. There is no substitution for this because a beta male by definition, may have some rebel qualities, but is too status conscious (read chickenshit) to deviate too far from the norm. There is no such thing as a beta male being committed to you but keeping you away from his family to protect you from harm. If you haven’t met mom, the most you can ever be to him is his mistress on the side, but not really a close one. Betas in cultures with a monogamous ideal do not know how to properly wage an affair. He may love you, but you will never be a legitimate partner to him.
3. He allocates a reasonable portion of his income to things for the relationship. It could be buying you little tokens or gifts, or putting money aside because he anticipates engagement or cohabitation. He likes to pay for things.
…and about income. With the beta male, it is best not to lord your income over him in any way. In some cases, this may mean living well below your means until you are close enough that he absolutely has to know your income. Put the extra aside into savings, preferably under a trusted family member’s name, that you can get access to if you need. Don’t lie though. If he ever confronts you about it, tell him the truth: that you’ve put aside money in case of an emergency. Let him be the provider.
Just one thing ladies…If you try these tactics, and they work for you, please don’t use what you’ve learned here to harm any man if the relationship doesn’t turn out well. If you catch someone this way, then don’t get comfortable and then stop touching him. These tips are for women who want happiness, not some twisted form of slavery.
Once you get your beta provider man, keep yourself fit as much as possible,
and take care of him and yourself. If he’s slipping, tell him respectfully but honestly. If you need help doing what you need to do, speak up. Don’t let these things turn into resentment.
As on the job or in his social life, the beta male needs some direction and clear rules and expectations, he needs these in the home as well. If you find yourself nagging about something, make a sign or a list and tape it to the wall or refrigerator or something.
Remember how you got him. This is how you’ll keep him.

New generations. New dreams.
Those phrases epitomize today’s work to make the dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. a reality for a new generation, according to several speakers at Gateway Technical College’s 24th Annual Dr. King celebration, held on the college’s Kenosha Campus on Monday.
“We are so proud of the next generation, a generation driven by hope, by a future where we dream big and where we lift others up to their dreams,” said event speaker U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.
“My dream is that we are no longer celebrating the dream – we are living the dream,” said Zina Haywood, Gateway executive vice president/provost.
The event format featured a panel discussion on this year’s theme of “New Generations. New Dreams” moderated by Adelene Greene, chair of the Coalition for Dismantling Racism. The panel was intergenerational, made up of Dionna Gavin, organizational development business partner, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin; Dorothy Walker, dean, School of Technology and Applied Sciences, Milwaukee Area Technical College; and Kenosha Harborside Academy students David Harrell II and Maxwell Walker.
Panelists were asked to answer the question of whether they believed they were living the American dream, Dr. King’s dream, neither or both. Most said they believed they were living the American Dream, but not entirely Dr. King’s dream.
“I am living the American dream. I have two parents, they own a house, they have cars for which they are able to pay,” said Harrell. “But, at the same time, it’s like a puzzle piece is missing without living Dr. King’s dream because for certain things, it’s sort of awkward doing them. Such as, walking into places, and the looks I get because I am a big, 6-foot black man.
“It’s a puzzle piece missing, so I feel that at some point I am living the American dream – but I’m not.”
“I think from the perspective of a Baby Boomer, and from my background, I think I have a little bit of both,” said Walker. “The idea, though, is how do you take that and turn that around to be able to help other people realize that same dream, whether it’s the American dream or Dr. King’s dream.
“My generation needs to talk about the opportunities that our young people have today, and let them know – and paint a picture of – how they can get there, how they can be successful and how they can move to where they want to go.”
During the ceremony, Gateway also named GeorgAnn Stinson-Dockery (Racine), Arnetta Griffin (Kenosha) and Michael Graveley (Kenosha) as this year’s Dr. Martin Luther King Humanitarians, individuals recognized for their contributions to society, their school, business or profession, as well as their dedication to volunteerism or philanthropic work.
DreamKeepers – the winners of the Peace Mentor, Kenosha Kindness Week and Peace Maker Awards – were also recognized at the event.

Well, the story was nice as well the system was good but like always, the system disappears after the initial few chapters. I am not sure when it will return. And this is the case for most of the novels with money making systems.

It’s always a good week at Watch What Happens Live when the guests are genuinely excited to be there. Good vibes were everywhere this week with Kandi Burress and Fantasia Barrino on Sunday, Kyle Richards and Abigail Breslin on Monday, the cast of Downton Abbey on Tuesday, Susan Sarandon and Ralph Fiennes on Wednesday and Sharon Osbourne and Tyler Perry rounding out the week on Thursday.
But like always, we’re breaking down the best and worst moments of the week. Onward!
Sunday Best: Kandi standing her ground against her critics!
Sunday Worst: But ain’t nobody got time to see poor Kandi break down in tears
Monday Best: Abigail’s modesty and maturity of course, but also the fact that she asked to touch Kyle’s hair to make sure it was real.
Monday Worst: Kyle’s big sis Kim Richards called in to the After Show and while she started off strong, she ended a bit wobbly:
Tuesday Best: Yo Andy! Bravo on that British accent, young squire!
Tuesday Worst: I’m just bummed poor Edith gets such a bad rap. She’s adorbs!
Wednesday Best: Sure sure, Susan admitted getting high before virtually every award show she’s ever been to, but the real highlight was the Vanderpump Rules live reading, complete with Jax‘s chunky sweater:
Wednesday Worst: Definitely could’ve used some more goss from Susan. Sure we learned about her toking habits, but she’s been in the business forever! We need the dirt.
Thursday Best: Tyler Perry knows A LOT about the Real Housewives and that is AWESOME.
Thursday Worst: Did Sharon REALLY get the vagina-plasty heard ’round the world? We’ll never know for sure.
So that’s that! What did you think of the guests this week? Who was your favorite pairing? Who do you want to see in the clubhouse STAT? Tell us in the comments or tweet us @OKMagazine.

Transducer have been devised which produce either changes in voltage or change in impedance whenever the temperature changes. Temperature measurement sensors can be divided into two categories. They are – Measurement using change in resistance and measurement using change in voltage.
The temperature sensor that uses change in resistance to measure temperature is called a resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometer can be further classified into Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) and Thermistor.
Some other types of temperature sensors are
- Optical Pyrometer
- Radiation Pyrometer
- Bimetallic Thermometer
- Filled System Temperature Measurement
Before going into detail, it is important to know some of the basic temperature parameters and instrumentation systems.
- Range: The range of a temperature measuring device is the maximum and minimum temperature it can indicate, record, measure or transmit. The range should be decided in such a manner that the normal operating temperature is almost (50-70)% of the full scale with the maximum temperature range close to, but more than the upper range of scale.
- Span: The difference between the maximum and minimum values of temperature in the calibrated range is called span. It is always good to have very low values of span. The minimum span is the smallest range that the manufacturer can accurately calibrate within the device’s range.
- Turndown: It is the ratio of maximum measurable parameter to minimum measurable parameter.
- Immersion Length: The immersion length of a Thermowell is the distance between the free end/tip of the Thermowell and the point of immersion in the medium that is being measured. The standard symbol for the immersion length of a Thermowell is “R”.
- Insertion Length: The insertion length of a Thermowell is the distance between the free end/tip of a Thermowell and (but not including) the external threads of other means of attachment to a vessel. The standard symbol for the insertion length of a Thermowell is “U”.
The term ‘temperature’ can be defined in terms of heat. Heat is a measure of the energy contained in a body, which is due to the irregular motion of its molecules or atoms. The internal energy of body or gas increases with increasing temperature. Temperature is a variable which together with other parameters such as mass, specific heat etc. describe the energy content of a body. When energy in the form of heat is introduced to or extracted from a body, altered molecular activity will be made apparent as a temperature change.
To measure the value of temperature, some of the following phenomenon is needed.
- Change in physical dimensions or characteristics of liquids, metals, or gases
- Changes in electrical resistance
- Thermoelectric effect
- Radiant energy
In an industry, there is always a need to measure and monitor temperature of a particular spot, field or locality. The industrial names given to such temperature sensors are Temperature Indicators (TI) or Temperature Gauges (TG). All these temperature gauges belong to the class of instruments that are known as bimetallic sensors.
Two basic principles of operation is to be followed in the case of a bimetallic sensor. They are
- A metal tends to undergo a volumetric dimensional change (expansion/contraction), according to the change in temperature.
- Different metals have different co-efficient of temperatures. The rate of volumetric change depends on this co-efficient of temperature.
The device consists of a bimetallic strip of two different metals and they are bonded together to form a spiral or a twisted helix. Both these metals are joined together at one end by either welding or riveting. It is bonded so strong that there will not be any relative motion between the two. The image of a bimetallic strip is shown below.
A change in temperature causes the free end of the strip to expand or contract due to the different co-efficients of expansion of the two metals. This movement is linear to the change in temperature and the deflection of the free end can be read out by attaching a pointer to it. This reading will indicate the value of temperature. Bimetallic strips are available in different forms like helix type, cantilever, spiral, and also flat type.
The figure below shows the working of a bimetallic sensor. Two metals, blue and red are riveted together. If it is used in an oven, the red metal would expand faster than the blue metal. If it is used in a refrigerator, a rise in temperature causes the blue metal to expand faster than the red one. As a result the strip will bend upward and short circuits with a metal wore so that current begins to flow. If the size of the gap between the strip and the wire is adjusted, you can control the temperature.
Bimetallic thermometers are generally available with 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6-inch concentric dials, preferably of the non-parallax type (i.e. not visually misaligned or displaced), with external zero adjustment, and 1/2-inch mounting thread. The stem should be of Stainless Steel SS316), having a 1/4-inch diameter, and of a customized length to suit process requirements. The dial orientation may be bottom or back, known as “straight” or “angle”, respectively. However, an all angle adjustable swivel connection is preferred in order to enable the dial to be read from the most convenient location.
Bimetallic thermometers are not recommended for continued use above 420 degree Celsius. The thermal stability of the bimetallic thermometer is an inherent characteristic of the metals used and continued operation cannot be assured above 471°C.
Selection of Temperature Measurement Devices
Usually a given temperature measurement can be satisfactorily made by several different types of temperature sensing devices. Ranges and capabilities of the various temperature measuring devices overlap in many instances. The following shall be used as guidelines for selection of Temperature Elements.
1. Bimetallic Thermometers
If the temperature to be measured is not required for automatic control, recording, or indication in the control room, a bimetallic thermometer should be used.
2. Filled System Thermometers
Occasionally a temperature transmitter, recorder and/or controller has to be installed in a location or under circumstances where electrical power is not available or inconvenient to use, while instrument air (at 20 psig or above) is present. Under these circumstances, a filled system thermometer is an ideal choice because it can be combined with a commercially available pneumatic transmitter, recorder and/or controller. If a local temperature measurement is in an inaccessible location so that a bimetallic thermometer cannot be easily read, a filled system thermometer is recommended because its capillary tubing can be led to an indicator that can be installed/located in a convenient place.
A liquid filled thermometer should be considered for corrosive areas or where vibration is a problem.
Thermocouples are generally used for high temperature applications. At high temperatures there is a clear preference for thermocouples over RTDs. Project specific requirement should be checked before selection of Thermocouple or RTD for specific application.
4. Resistance Thermometers
Listed below is some temperature measurement applications for which the use of a RTD is normally preferred over a thermocouple:
- Temperature of turbine inlet steam whose design temperature is close to the maximum allowable temperature for piping and equipment
- Temperature of permanent turbine test points
- Average temperature of nuclear reactor coolant
- Average combustion turbine inlet air temperature
- Condenser cooling water inlet to outlet temperature gain
- Motor stator winding and bearing temperatures
Thermocouples are not suitable for narrow range temperature measurements. This is because the change in the EMF developed by a thermocouple over a narrow temperature range is very small and difficult to measure. Therefore, for narrow spans or small temperature differences a RTD is recommended.

Ever wondered what it would be like to have the option to go up or down a tower filled with insanely creative monsters that include a giant gorilla? The Deadly Tower of Monsters has you covered as you decide whether you want to whack your way up it, zap you way up or simply just burn everything to smithereens. This creative game will put players in the place to decide how they want to approach the towers of planet Gravoria as they decide whether they want to freefall or simply explore their way up it while taking every abomination possible out with the towers.
For players that decide to undertake this games form of exploration, fans will be able grab a jet pack and go flying up in order to take a leap off the side of a ledge in order to descend to their next level. Just remember to take care of those pesky enemies near your landing zones in order to do so. Otherwise Dick, Scarlet or Robot just may not be your friends anymore. Just remember, as the developers say, use your boosters wisely – gravity is a harsh mistress.
The Tower of Monsters is set to launch on January 19th on PlayStation 4 and PC in both North America and Europe. The game will run 14.99 USD on both platforms.

Tax treaties exist between many countries on a bilateral basis to prevent double taxation (taxes levied twice on the same income, profit, capital gain, inheritance or other item). In some countries they are also known as double taxation agreements, double tax treaties, or tax information exchange agreements (TIEA). In fact these are Double Taxation Avoidance Treaties i.e. treaties to avoid tax being levied twice.
Most developed countries have a large number of tax treaties, while developing countries are less well represented in the worldwide tax treaty network. The United Kingdom has treaties with more than 110 countries and territories. The United States has treaties with 56 countries (as of February 2007). Tax treaties tend not to exist, or to be of limited application, when either party regards the other as a tax haven. There are a number of model tax treaties published by various national and international bodies, such as the United Nations and the OECD.
Download Treaty PDF – click here
International double taxation, narrowly defined, occurs when two different states impose a comparable tax on the same potential taxpayer on the same taxable item. The concept has been defined more broadly, but with less precision, as the result of overlapping tax claims of two or more states. For example, someone who is resident for tax purposes in France and who makes an interest-bearing deposit with a bank in the UK is potentially exposed to income tax on the interest in the UK and in France.
The concept of international double taxation that bilateral tax treaties seek to remove is broader than the narrow definition. It includes some types of economic double taxation—that is, taxation of something already taxed under another country's laws whether or not it is formally subject to multiple levels of taxation. For example, many tax treaties operate to provide tax relief to a corporate group when a state has imposed a corporate income tax on profits earned by a subsidiary corporation and another state otherwise would impose a corporate income tax on its parent corporation when those profits are distributed as a dividend.
In general, tax treaties attempt to eliminate most forms of international double taxation, narrowly defined, and various other forms of international double taxation when a failure to do so would have a demonstrably harmful impact on international trade and investment.
A major goal of bilateral tax treaties is to remove impediments to international trade and investment by abating the risk of double taxation that can occur when both contracting states impose tax on the same income. This goal is advanced in five distinct ways.
- First, a bilateral tax treaty generally increases the extent to which exporters residing in one contracting state can engage in trading activity in the other contracting state without attracting tax liability in that latter.
- The second state can usually only impose tax on the business profits of a person who is resident in the other state if they operate in the second state through a permanent establishment there.

Note from Priscilla: This is the second of my posts from the Rio+20 Earth Summit.
It was an art installation made by 1500 bodies—a huge painting on a canvas of silky sand at the Flamengo Beach in Rio next to the People’s Summit.
Amazon Watch sponsored the event, and it was coordinated by aerial artist John Quigley, working from an image created by artists of Brazil’s 235 indigenous peoples. Tribal leaders nominated the artists, who worked together for several months to choose the message and design the image.
Want to know how these huge aerial designs get put together? I did too! So I showed up ahead of time and got in on the setup.
Here is the beach a little past noon: volunteers from tcktcktck.org and other orgs are setting orange flags in orange tape in the sand, following John’s directions.
Shortly after 1:00 the people start to arrive: first dozens, then hundreds. Here’s John explaining what’s going to happen.
Members of Brazil’s indigenous groups file into the picture first.
Drumming and rattling fill the air, a steady beat under the instructions getting shouted across the beach through megaphones.
While people are getting settled at the center of the picture, hundreds more troop in to sit in rows and circles and lines. By now it’s nearly 2:00 p.m., and filming is to start at 2:15. No problem. We’re on schedule.
What’s the picture going to be? Even those of us who saw the original drawing aren’t exactly sure.
Finally I take a seat too. Here are people in the row next to me:
And here is Adriane on my left, a master’s student at the University of Saõ Paulo in international relations. Her English is excellent, though she doesn’t think so. I’ve been in Rio for two days, confined to the monosyllables that make up my Portuguese, so I’m grateful to be having a real conversation! Adriane plans to continue for a doctorate, and when she finds out I teach in a graduate program, her eyes light up. “Oh, you are exactly where I want to be!” she says. I have to agree: this is exactly where I want to be too.
A circle gets ushered into place around the picture, and then the cameras roll. As it happened, because of the security for the Summit, air space was closed off just a few days ago. So instead of the usual helicopter for an aerial picture, Spectral Q is using instead a remote-controlled camera that hums through the air like an enormous fly. It weaves back and forth overhead while people cheer.
Finally, after an hour of sitting in the sand, baking and thirsty, we are ready for the project to be done. At the all-clear we cheer and get up and stretch and head for the coconut vendor at the street. Some gather in small groups taking their pictures with new friends.
And what did the picture look like? Here it is, from the Amazon Watch website, copyright Spectral Q/Chico/Paulo:
At the center, indigenous wisdom is holding up the sun. Around the outside, the circle of waves is flowing continuously, a hope and a prayer for all rivers to flow free, undammed. “Rios para a vida” means “Rivers for life,” and it celebrates water as the source of life for us all.
The image came together in the final week of planning, John says. “It is to remind us to connect with the people who know the land. No matter how many obstacles indigenous wisdom faces,” he says, “it will always come through in the end.”
And where am I? In a white shirt at the base of the D in VIDA, one of 1500 in this enormous painting made of human bodies. We’re coming together from all over the world to show our thanks and our hope for the rivers of Earth.

I know this is a bit long but I do think it’s fascinating to see what really goes on with government sponsored healthcare. Maybe you will too.
Freddie's Back in Town
Update: Last spring I had a problem with some ever so noisy and annoying crickets screeching outside my bedroom window. So I went in search of a solution. I learned that frogs ate crickets and so began my quest to populate my garden with cricket eating frogs. Not quite as easy as I imagined, pet stores don’t seem to want to sell them and they are mighty expensive too.
So, I opted to created a frog pond and spa in hopes of enticing some frogs to move into the neighborhood. Well, to my delight and surprise about a week after the launch of the spa, I did in fact have three froggies move into the garden. Yay, I was going to be cricket free soon. Well not so much, these were some mighty tiny little frogs and they laid some mighty tiny little eggs in the pond and I had visions of little gremlin froggies everywhere.
The taddies are still there and don’t seem to be becoming frogs, though I’m not sure why maybe they like being the peter pan of tadpoles. Anyway….Freddie my first and main frogasaurus hung out quite a bit and I often saw him around sunset cooling himself in the pool or hanging in the bamboo plant – then one day. Nothing. Gone. Didn’t see him anymore.
It was a little sad because I thought he had moved onto bigger and better ponds. Though I did hear some froggy serenades at night, so I suspected he still came by to hang out. But, the other day, I finally dragged myself out to the garden to confront the jungle it had become. It was not a pretty sight folks, what a mess. Lots of hacking and pulling and weeding and pruning going on. When I finally worked my way to the end of the garden I picked up a trampled eggplant plant and guess who was there? Yep, Freddie! But my oh my how he has grown! He’s an absolute monster now, bigger than a pack of cigarettes and beefy too.
I was so happy when I saw him I oo’d and ahh’d and told him how proud of him I was for having grown so big and beastly and then I put him in the pool for a swim while I finished the garden. He even let me pick him up and pose him for some pictures.
Isn’t he gorgeous? Makes me a little teary eyed too because my little frog has grown up. I suspect he’ll find a wife and move to the Wash where the big pond is – though he is a tree frog and we have lots of trees so maybe he’ll stick around.
So, I guess the moral of the story is, that if you want a frog bad enough, you can grow one, eh?
Isn’t it amazing that with all the science, technology and every other gadget man has invented he just can’t top what nature brings us without even trying? Smile, damn it, smile.
More Summer Fun
A friend of mine sent me these unbelievable pictures. Yes folks, people actually made these from salt water and sand. Cripes, I can’t make something this good with clay, glue and step by step directions!
I must say though, I wonder what her hair is supposed to be wrapped around.
Why are old people always yelling at kids?
Rampunzel must be at the top of that thing somewhere.
It takes a lot of sand to make a whole kingdom.
What are these little kids so afraid of?
Ah…I get it, the dragon is eating their dad.
I guess I better get my bucket and internet directions and head for the beach – it’s going to take a while to get the hang of this stuff.
Can You Say, Mucho Dinero?
I just got this in an email from a friend. The following pics show the ‘finds’ at a drug bust of Mexican drug dealers. I couldn’t resist posting them here.
Believe it or not – there were several more – but I guess you get the picture. My friend speculated that they’d just paid off Mexico’s national debt. I’d say that and possibly the purchase of a couple of small countries.
Wow, don’t you just love capitalism?
PS: The sad thing though is that all that money represents drugs coursing through somebody’s system. Gives you pause, eh?
An Undeniable Force
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever, is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. [Philippians 4:8].
I have always believed in the lesson of Easter. The ascension of good over evil, light over darkness. To reflect on the idea that there was someone so purely good that he would die for the transgressions of the rest of humanity is staggering. Even if you don’t prescribe to Christainity or believe in any aspect of it, the story of Christ must give one pause.
I know that it is cool and hip to bash Christianity and in fact, organized religion in general these days. That depicting Christ as a criminal, a pervert or even a monster is what passes as art or edgy dialogue – but I reject that as having any validity. To disagree with something does not mean to denigrate it.
The lessons and teachings of Christ are valuable, in fact, most of the moral and belief systems in the world follow the architecture of those lessons. Ponder that for a moment.
Though I was raised as a Catholic (strong Christian attitudes there) I don’t identify myself as a Catholic. The reasons for this are not important to anyone but myself. Nonetheless, I don’t reject Christ as a saviour. Even if he was merely a man, the effect he had and continues to have on the world is worthy of respect and awe. And I can think of few who have had a comparable impact on the world, perhaps no one has.
Even if he was only a symbol of peace on Earth, that symbol brought mankind out of darkness and gave the light of hope. How could this be a bad thing? What could be a better gift to your fellows?
When I was a little girl, I always loved the stories of Jesus and his teachings – they made me feel that there was true goodness in the world. Something the world needed desperately and still does.
So over this weekend, while I am enjoying myself with food and celebration – chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs, I will reflect on how this incredible man changed the world.
Happy Easter everybody.
A Lovely Day In The Neighborhood
Okay, so I’m having breffy with Zelda the other day and we’re talking about her dogs…truth be told we’re always talking about her dogs or her cats or her plants. She’s really into the animal kingdom.
Anyway, she decided to take them for a walk the other night which was naturally a bit of a funny disaster. The big dawg (huggy) got away from her to play with a little chihuahua that her Korean neighbors were walking. Apparently there were a few seconds where little chi-chi was flying like a trout on the leash but that’s another story. So, while big dawg was doing that Lexy (beagle number 1) was just running – anywhere. I guess she ran til she got tired and Zelda found her panting by the side of the road.
Then there is beagle number 2 – a chubby little tri-color who is really a real life version of Deputy Dog. You gotta love him. But he won’t walk. He is afraid of the outside. Literally – no kidding. So Zelda carried him – all 35 lbs of him. You got the picture? Big dawg flailing and going after little chichi like a piece of bait, first beagle just running and Zelda trotting behind carrying second beagle.
So, solution? Dog trainer? Nope? Walk the dogs separately? Nope? Dog Whisperer? Nope. You ready???? She’s getting beagle number 2 a stroller.
Oh yeah, they make strollers for dogs. I can’t wait to see it and I promise I’ll post a picture as soon as I do. Talk about your gullible boomer. Zelda! What are you thinking? 😉
Have You Painted Your Cat Lately?
Apparently, people still are finding ways to waste their money. A new trend appears to be having your cat painted for about 15 grand a pop. And if you want to keep up with the Jones’ you have to do repaints every three months. Can you imagine having nothing better to do with 60 grand a year than to have your housepet painted? Duh!
That being said, they are pretty impressive paint jobs.
(HT to FC for the pics!)
Lover You Don’t Treat Me No Good No More
Sonia Dada is a weird name for a band – still, I have loved them for years. Their harmonies are incredible – and you can really hear them since they only use instruments to accompany themselves as opposed to blaring over them. I hope you love them too. Enjoy!
Okay, she looks like my cat – and has the appetite of my cat – but my cat can’t do that! It would come it very handy in the morning and at night, let me tell you. Nothing more annoying than a whiney, bitchy cat who wants to eat.

Student research is a vital part of inquiry-based learning. Larissa Pahomov, author of the book Authentic Learning in the Digital Age: Engaging Students Through Inquiry, identifies the following three qualities that must be present in student research if genuine inquiry and learning are to occur (pp. 42-46):
- Autonomy – Students need to have some choice in what they research, how they research, and how they share the results of their research.
- Activity – Students need to have a variety of activity levels throughout their research. They need opportunities to engage information, whether through text, image, or some performance medium.
- Metacognition – Students need the opportunity to look within themselves and reflect upon their own learning and growth throughout the inquiry process.
As you are planning for instruction, include opportunities for autonomy, activity, and metacognition. Students will engage content in meaningful ways and learn much. You will engage content in meaningful ways and learn much, too!

The Power of Second Life
Dec 27, 2006 4:00 AM PT
It took about an hour before I finally switched from thinking that my initial experiences with Second Life were a waste of time, to actually finding them being productive in new ways.
I was one of a 3D flurry of invited "VIPs" to enter an IBM pavilion inside Second Life. With my unique personage avatar seated (it took me five minutes to figure out how to sit down) in the front row, I read a chat sequence as IBM executives (some virtually knee-deep in the stage) told of how we're at the beginning of something big -- and Blue.
Increased Comfort Level
There was applause and some whistling. And there were some instant messaging conversations in the audience about what they had "seen" on the stage. It was not much different from the thousand other industry events I've attended since 1988 (once I was able to sit down). And this was all from my home office (and I was intermittently doing some other useful online stuff too, like e-mail and calendar).
What was different is that I was a virtual arm's length from some heavy-hitting IBM talent and leadership, and I was able to communicate with them, and learn from them quite well. That is not always the case in the real world, where crowds, noise, location, and the competition can get in the way.
There is an egalitarian equalizing effect when your avatar IMs with another -- even if you know who they are. There's a comfort level with being virtual, and the IBMers seemed eager to chat with lots of folks. I can see getting better access to executives and the creative minds at IBM in Second Life than I do in real life, and that's a good thing.
I expect that IBM customers, partners, and just the nerdy curious may find the same thing. That means that Second Life, like a lot of things on the Internet, scales down as well and perhaps more powerfully than it scales up.
So Close, Yet So Far
Second Life could be a best-yet example of the long tail of digital personal communications and collaboration. Having a physical distance while being virtually close can allow high-level people to get out of the box and "shake" more hands in the crowd. With a click, they are back at their desks and can opt in or out of any conversation as they wish -- no hard feelings.
As the head of Sun Microsystems' research lab, Bob Sproull, recently told me: "We're all still looking for the killer collaboration application." And as he and Sun are also well aware, Second Life is getting closer.
One reason for this is that Second Life and its ilk form a great way to let otherwise hard-to-reach people become accessible, with terms amenable to all. And that, my friends, is a business benefit -- a big one.
In many business activities, access is everything. Using such virtual environments, a company's best minds and communicators can reach far more people directly, rather than sitting in airports or viewed only remotely from a far-off podium. This is a killer application of evangelism, sales, and implementation support -- and you never leave home.
Technology at Your Fingertips
At the IBM event, we were then all invited to transport (you know it when you do it) to a series of other IBM simulated environments where there are resources for exploring virtual e-business activities (a virtual travel agency, for example) and a very cool SOA education destination.
You can watch a video trailer on what SOA is and why it's valuable (these also can be seen on YouTube if you search on "SOA" there). There is an SOA cafe, a room that touts the merits of reuse, and a place to gather and chat on SOA stuff. IBM also has its own teleport "sculpture," to help get to and fro with ease amid these resources.
So what? Some of you are no doubt thinking. So did I until it occurred to me that by perceiving that I'm at an IBM SOA fairground, I lost track of the fact that I'm also a mere blur of electrons away from the actual underlying technology being discussed. If you're at the SOA counter and you want to know about a bill-to-order service, grab it, use it and put it through the paces instantly. Buy it, if you like; a free trial perhaps?
Unlike in the temporal world, like at a trade show, the technology is always far away and abstract from the crowds, stages, hallways and discussions. Sure, it's people-centric at trade shows, but the technology is too often missing from the party. (How many times have you been shown a server software product loaded on a laptop in a hallway? Talk about virtual.)
Part of the Process
By leaving the temporal world and amusing ourselves into attending a fake tradeshow via Second Life, we can virtually interact with the technology better -- we are actually in the realm of the technology itself, where all the attributes and capabilities of the technology is instantly available. What better place to learn about server-centric services than in the technology itself, chatting with the people who built it? We don't just talk about SOA, we are in SOA.
We don't just watch a slide deck or a video, we teleport to where the developers and architects are reviewing the next set of requirements. We add in our wishes -- and are heard. It's not just open source, it's open use of services before we need to commit or buy -- without leaving our seats.
While you do give up some of the human experience to enter the Second Life technology realm, you still remain in sufficient human-scale, and with rich communications so that being embedded in the technology becomes the real value. It opens entirely new ways to learn, test, use, amend, and exploit the technology. After all, you are in the matrix. The ones and zeros are just below the surface, not an abstraction but a part of the experience.
I therefore see Second Life as IBM does, a powerful tool for bringing people and technology together, and given that proximity, able to productively accelerate the processes that bind them. Yes, SOA may actually make more sense in the virtual world than it does in the real world, where the effects of SOA benefits will ultimately best manifest themselves. Evangelizing SOA in this way should form an important part of getting the story out.

The trial of a former Florida professor once accused of being a leading Palestinian terrorist was postponed Friday after a judge raised new doubts about whether prosecutors have been overzealous.
Former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian had been scheduled to go on trial next week in U.S. District Court for criminal contempt after refusing to testify to a federal grand jury about a cluster of Muslim organizations in northern Virginia.
But U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema postponed the trial indefinitely, questioning whether the government was overeager in filing charges. She also questioned whether prosecutors had properly filled out the paperwork demanding Al-Arian's grand jury testimony.
She said the government was premature in seeking contempt charges while Al-Arian has a pending appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that the terms of a plea agreement he struck in a previous trial exempt him from testifying.
Prosecutors responded that Al-Arian's claim has been rejected by two appellate courts and that Brinkema's ruling could have long-term implications in compelling people to comply with court orders.
Prosecutor Gordon Kromberg said that if a person can refuse to testify until the U.S. Supreme Court requires them to, the effect will be "undercutting the court's ability to get anyone to obey its orders."
Any delay in Al-Arian's trial is significant because the government wants to try to convict him before he is deported to Egypt. Al-Arian, who is in the custody of immigration authorities, is subject to a deportation order and has been pushing them to either release him or deport him immediately.
Friday's hearing was not the first time that Brinkema has questioned the government's decision to prosecute Al-Arian for contempt. She previously suggested that the contempt case runs against a promise by the Justice Department that it would not stand in the way of Al-Arian's deportation.
Al-Arian was a Palestinian activist and computer professor at the University of South Florida when he was charged in 2003 with being a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a designated terrorist group linked to Iran.
After a six-month trial, a jury in Florida acquitted Al-Arian on many charges and deadlocked on others. When prosecutors pursued a retrial, Al-Arian struck a plea bargain and pleaded guilty to conspiring to aid the PIJ by helping a family member with links to the group get immigration benefits and by lying to a reporter about another person's links to the PIJ.
While he was serving his sentence in the Florida case, federal prosecutors in Virginia demanded his testimony.
On Friday, Brinkema warned both sides to cool their rhetoric.
The warning comes after former U.S. Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Mike Gravel, spoke at an Aug. 1 rally of Al-Arian supporters, suggested pressuring Kromberg, saying "find out where he lives, find out where his kids go to school."
Al-Arian's family repudiated the comments.
Meanwhile, defense lawyer Jonathan Turley has accused Kromberg of bias against Muslims. On Friday, Kromberg objected to a court order that would release Al-Arian to his daughter's custody to await trial, arguing that she would be unable to exert any authority over Al-Arian "in this particular culture," an apparent reference to the family's religion.

Before becoming Governor of the Resesrve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan professor was Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Business School. Winner of the Fischer Black Prize in 2003, he is the author numerous articles in leading academic journals in economics and finance, and co-author (with Luigi Zingales) of a well-regarded book Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists that had some valuable insights about financial-market dysfunction. He is obviously no slouch.
Unfortunately, based on recent reports, Goverenor Rajan is, despite his impressive resume and academic credentials, as Marcus Nunes pointed out on his blog, totally clueless about the role of monetary policy and the art of central banking in combating depressions. Here is the evidence provided by none other than the Wall Street Journal, a newspaper whose editorial page espouses roughly the same view as Rajan, summarizing Rajan’s remarks.
Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan warned Wednesday that the global economy bears an increasing resemblance to its condition in the 1930s, with advanced economies trying to pull out of the Great Recession at each other’s expense.
The difference: competitive monetary policy easing has now taken the place of competitive currency devaluations as the favored tool for playing a zero-sum game that is bound to end in disaster. Now, as then, “demand shifting” has taken the place of “demand creation,” the Indian policymaker said.
A clear symptom of the major imbalances crippling the world’s financial market is the over valuation of the euro, Mr. Rajan said.
The euro-zone economy faces problems similar to those faced by developing economies, with the European Central Bank’s “very, very accommodative stance” having a reduced impact due to the ultra-loose monetary policies being pursued by other central banks, including the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England.
The notion that competitive currency devaluations in the Great Depression were a zero-sum game is fallacy, an influential fallacy to be sure, but a fallacy nonetheless. And because it is – and was — so influential, it is a highly dangerous fallacy. There is indeed a similarity between the current situation and the 1930s, but the similarity is not that monetary ease is a zero-sum game that merely “shifts,” but does not “create,” demand; the similarity is that the fallacious notion that monetary ease does not create demand is still so prevalent.
The classic refutation of the fallacy that monetary ease only shifts, but does not create, demand was provided on numerous occasions by R. G. Hawtrey. Almost two and a half years ago, I quoted a particularly cogent passage from Hawtrey’s Trade Depression and the Way Out (2nd edition, 1933) in which he addressed the demand-shift fallacy. Hawtrey refuted the fallacy in responding to those who were arguing that Britain’s abandonment of the gold standard in September 1931 had failed to stimulate the British economy, and had damaged the world economy, because prices continued falling after Britain left the gold standard. Hawtrey first discussed the reasons for the drop in the world price level after Britain gave up the gold standard.
When Great Britain left the gold standard, deflationary measures were everywhere resorted to. Not only did the Bank of England raise its rate, but the tremendous withdrawals of gold from the United States involved an increase of rediscounts and a rise of rates there, and the gold that reached Europe was immobilized or hoarded. . . .
In other words, Britain’s departure from the gold standard led to speculation that the US would follow Britain off the gold standard, implying an increase in the demand to hoard gold before the anticipated increase in its dollar price. That is a typical reaction under the gold standard when the probability of a devaluation is perceived to have risen. By leaving gold, Britain increased the perceived probability that other countries, and especially the US, would also leave the gold standard.
The consequence was that the fall in the price level continued [because an increase in the demand to hold gold (for any reason including speculation on a future increase in the nominal price of gold) must raise the current value of gold relative to all other commodities which means that the price of other commodities in terms of gold must fall -- DG]. The British price level rose in the first few weeks after the suspension of the gold standard [because the value of the pound was falling relative to gold, implying that prices in terms of pounds rose immediately after Britain left gold -- DG], but then accompanied the gold price level in its downward trend [because after the initial fall in the value of the pound relative to gold, the pound stabilized while the real value of gold continued to rise -- DG]. This fall of prices calls for no other explanation than the deflationary measures which had been imposed [alarmed at the rapid fall in the value of gold, the Bank of England raised interest rates to prevent further depreciation in sterling -- DG]. Indeed what does demand explanation is the moderation of the fall, which was on the whole not so steep after September 1931 as before.
Yet when the commercial and financial world saw that gold prices were falling rather than sterling prices rising, they evolved the purely empirical conclusion that a depreciation of the pound had no effect in raising the price level, but that it caused the price level in terms of gold and of those currencies in relation to which the pound depreciated to fall.
Here Hawtrey identified precisely the demand-shift fallacy evidently now subscribed to by Governor Rajan. In other words, when Britain left the gold standard, Britain did nothing to raise the international level of prices, which, under the gold standard, is the level of prices measured in terms of gold. Britain may have achieved a slight increase in its own domestic price level, but only by imposing a corresponding reduction in the price level measured in terms of gold. Let’s see how Hawtrey demolishes the fallacy.
For any such conclusion there was no foundation. Whenever the gold price level tended to fall, the tendency would make itself felt in a fall in the pound concurrently with the fall in commodities. [Hawtrey is saying that if the gold price level fell, while the sterling price level remained constant, the value of sterling would also fall in terms of gold. -- DG] But it would be quite unwarrantable to infer that the fall in the pound was the cause of the fall in commodities.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that the depreciation of any currency, by reducing the cost of manufacture in the country concerned in terms of gold, tends to lower the gold prices of manufactured goods. . . . [In other words, the cost of production of manufactured goods, which include both raw materials – raw materials often being imported -- and capital equipment and labor, which generally are not mobile, is unlikely to rise as much in percentage terms as the percentage depreciation in the currency. -- DG]
But that is quite a different thing from lowering the price level. For the fall in manufacturing costs results in a greater demand for manufactured goods, and therefore the derivative demand for primary products is increased. [That is to say, if manufactured products become relatively cheaper as the currency depreciates, the real quantity of manufactured goods demanded will increase, and the real quantity of inputs used to produce the increased quantity of manufactured goods must also increase. -- DG] While the prices of finished goods fall, the prices of primary products rise. Whether the price level as a whole would rise or fall it is not possible to say a priori, but the tendency is toward correcting the disparity between the price levels of finished products and primary products. That is a step towards equilibrium. And there is on the whole an increase of productive activity. The competition of the country which depreciates its currency will result in some reduction of output from the manufacturing industry of other countries. But this reduction will be less than the increase in the country’s output, for if there were no net increase in the world’s output there would be no fall of prices. [Thus, even though there is some demand shifting toward the country that depreciates its currency because its products become relatively cheaper than the products of non-depreciating currencies, the cost reduction favoring the output of the country with a depreciating currency could not cause an overall reduction in prices elsewhere if total output had not increased. -- DG]
Hawtrey then articulates the policy implication of the demand-shift fallacy.
In consequence of the competitive advantage gained by a country’s manufacturers from a depreciation of its currency, any such depreciation is only too likely to meet with recriminations and even retaliation from its competitors. . . . Fears are even expressed that if one country starts depreciation, and others follow suit, there may result “a competitive depreciation” to which no end can be seen.
This competitive depreciation is an entirely imaginary danger. The benefit that a country derives from the depreciation of its currency is in the rise of its price level relative to its wage level, and does not depend on its competitive advantage. [There is a slight ambiguity here, because Hawtrey admitted above that there is a demand shift. But there is also an increase in demand, and it is the increase in demand, associated with a rise of its price level relative to its wage level, which does not depend on a competitive advantage associated with a demand shift. -- DG] If other countries depreciate their currencies, its competitive advantage is destroyed, but the advantage of the price level remains both to it and to them. They in turn may carry the depreciation further, and gain a competitive advantage. But this race in depreciation reaches a natural limit when the fall in wages and in the prices of manufactured goods in terms of gold has gone so far in all the countries concerned as to regain the normal relation with the prices of primary products. When that occurs, the depression is over, and industry is everywhere remunerative and fully employed. Any countries that lag behind in the race will suffer from unemployment in their manufacturing industry. But the remedy lies in their own hands; all they have to do is to depreciate their currencies to the extent necessary to make the price level remunerative to their industry. Their tardiness does not benefit their competitors, once these latter are employed up to capacity. Indeed, if the countries that hang back are an important part of the world’s economic system, the result must be to leave the disparity of price levels partly uncorrected, with undesirable consequences to everybody. . . .
The picture of an endless competition in currency depreciation is completely misleading. The race of depreciation is towards a definite goal; it is a competitive return to equilibrium. The situation is like that of a fishing fleet threatened with a storm; no harm is done if their return to a harbor of refuge is “competitive.” Let them race; the sooner they get there the better. (pp. 154-57)
Hawtrey’s analysis of competitive depreciation can be further elucidated by reconsidering it in the light of Max Corden’s classic analysis of exchange-rate protection, which I have discussed several times on this blog (here, here, and here). Corden provided a deep analysis of the conditions under which exchange-rate depreciation confers a competitive advantage. For internationally traded commodities, it is hard to see how any advantage can be derived from currency manipulation. A change in the exchange rate would be rapidly offset by corresponding changes in the prices of the relevant products. However, factors of production like labor, land, and capital equipment, tend to be immobile so their prices in the local currency don’t necessarily adjust immediately to changes in exchange rate of the local currency. Hawtrey was clearly assuming that labor and capital are not tradable so that international arbitrage does not induce immediate adjusments in their prices. Also, Hawtrey’s analysis begins from a state of disequilibrirum, while Corden’s starts from equilibrium, a very important difference.
However, even if prices of non-tradable commodities and factors of production don’t immediately adjust to exchange-rate changes, there is another mechanism operating to eliminate any competitive advantage, which is that the inflow of foreign-exchange reserves into a country with an undervalued currency (and, thus, a competitive advantage) will normally induce monetary expansion in that country, thereby raising the prices of non-tradables and factors of production. What Corden showed was that a central bank willing to tolerate a sufficiently large expansion in its foreign-reserve holdings could keep its currency undervalued, thereby maintaining a competitive advantage for its country in world markets.
But the corollary to Corden’s analysis is that to gain competitive advantage from currency depreciation requires the central bank to maintain monetary stringency (a chronic excess demand for money thus requiring a corresponding export surplus) and a continuing accumulation of foreign exchange reserves. If central banks are pursuing competitive monetary easing, which Governor Rajan likens to competitive exchange-rate depreciation aimed at shifting, not expanding, total demand, he is obviously getting worked up over nothing, because Corden demonstrated 30 years ago that a necessary condition for competitive exchange-rate depreciation is monetary tightness, not monetary ease.

This map is periodically updated by the mission team as Curiosity drives on its way to the base of Mount Sharp.
Curiosity's Traverse Map Through Sol 2313
This map shows the route driven by NASA's Mars rover Curiosity through the 2313 Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (February 08, 2019).
Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. The scale bar is 1 kilometer (~0.62 mile). From Sol 2311 to Sol 2313, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 127.94 feet (38.99 meters), bringing the rover's total odometry for the mission to 12.53 miles (20.16 kilometers).
The base image from the map is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera (HiRISE) in NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The La Solatia estate is located in Monteriggioni, a well-known medieval village close to Siena. “Solatia” means “sunbathed”, which is a fitting description of this estate. The microclimate in these hills is dry and sunny.
Ruffino was one of the earliest producers to recognize Tuscany’s potential to produce world-class Chardonnay. The area north of Siena, where La Solatia is located, enjoys all the traits needed to make uniquely expressive Tuscan white wines.
Pinot Grigio has also been planted on the estate, whose soil and microclimate result in structured and suave wines.

What I've learned from blogging is that this is pretty much my little sliver of the world wide interwebs and I can write whatever I want. You don't have to read it. But writing it down is kind of helpful for me. It helped me to deal with the impending birth of my first child, and the emotional roller coaster that proceeded it. And just like making a "blog announcement" to basically no readers that I was going to "be a mom" and I thought it would be fitting to use this space to announce that I'm going to "be a runner". I'm kind of, like, in my first trimester.
Here's the deal....
I know a lot of runners - friends, co-workers, family members. I have a lot of running gear - shoes, shorts, tees, half zips, jackets. I would say that I have always been moderately physically active, playing sports and what not. I've run for years - around the block a few times, at the outdoor track, on many a treadmill.
A few years ago a signed up for my first race. It was a 5km. I did it on a complete whim, with and perhaps for a friend. I didn't train. I wasn't sure that I needed to, and I didn't know how. And I sucked at this race. I sucked hard. It was terrible and painful. The next weekend I did a 10km. I must have been drinking heavily to sign up for that one. It was more than twice as painful and terrible. A few months later I did another slow and painful half marathon.
These people that organize road races are very intelligent. They do a great job of suckering you into it. The free t-shirt. The way the crowds gather at the start in anticipation. The big countdown to the start. Off you go feeling fantastic, happy, feeling like someone special. Sometimes there are people cheering on the side of the road with funny signs. There are nice volunteers at water stations that tell you how great you're doing. It's fantastic. And then you get the finish and maybe, depending on the race, you can run into a big inflated arch, get congratulated by total strangers, have a medal placed triumphantly around your neck. You're handed a banana. It's the most delicious banana you've ever had. Sign me up for the next one.
A year ago I challenged myself....
I am a race groupie. I didn't take me too long to figure out that I had a problem. (Even you knew I had a problem just four paragraphs into this blog post!) First, I really like races. As a self-described mediocre athlete it was basically the most awesome thing ever. I love the running community. I love the energy around running. I love how running makes me feel - mostly after the hurting stops. But I found that if I wasn't signed up, committed to, training for a race, I lacked the motivation and discipline to keep training. I wanted to experience a lot more races.
I set a goal to run a race a month last year. The week after I came up with the idea I started to tell people. I knew that the more people I told, the more accountable to the goal I would be. I started to research events and plan out the schedule. I realized that I would need to double up on events during a few months in order to get in 12 races for the year.
I just completed my goal. Here are the races that I finished:
- - Night Race Toronto, 5km (September 2012)
- - Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, 5km (October 2012)
- - Niagara Falls International Marathon, 5km (October 2012)
- - Road to Hope in Hamilton, 5km (November 2012)
- - Don Rowing Club Christmas Run, 10km (December 2012)
- - Resolution Run, 5km (January 2013)
- - Family Day Fun Run in Edmonton, 5km (February 2013)
- - Toronto Yonge Street, 10km (April 2013)
- - Portland Rock n Roll Marathon, 21.1km (May 2013)
- - Sole Sisters Women's Race, 5km (June 2013)
- - Run for Women Toronto, 10km (June 2013)
- - Toronto Women's Race, 10km (August 2013)
I have a few more races on the horizon for this Fall, after all I love it. But as I look ahead at the next year, I recognize that I could have been even more committed and consistent. Look forward to setting another goal that keeps me finishing with my hands held high and smile on my face. Even if I'm a little slow....

2013-14 Broome-Tioga Winter Mud and Snow Scrambles Series
Round 3: Broome-Tioga Sports Center
Story by Jim Sanderson
Photos by jimsandersonphoto.com
BINGHAMTON, NY, JAN. 4, 2014
Hurd Motorsports, promoters of the world-class Broome-Tioga Sports Center, hosted the third round of the Winter Mud and Snow Scrambles Series. The series consists of nine rounds running from November through April, utilizing the multiple motocross tracks, grass-track and single-track trails of this massive facility. The series continues to grow and has been attracting new racers to this unique and challenging series but also continues to attract some of the most experienced and talented off-road riders from Upstate New York and beyond.
Mother Nature decided to make the third round a true winter-series round. Eight inches of new snow fell on Friday and blanketed the racecourse. The Broome-Tioga track crew scrambled to cut in a new course only hours before dawn on race day. The original course was cut down in length due to the snowfall, and the fact that it all came the day before the race. The racecourse’s direction of travel was reversed for the third round, giving racers yet another challenge.
Weather for the third round was frigid, and the wind-chill factor had temperatures hovering barely above single digits. The day began under mostly sunny skies, but those disappeared later in the day. The racecourse remained frozen throughout the day, and that helped racers in the traction department, but the frigid wind made any exposed skin a potential target for possible frostbite.
When the green flag dropped for the start of the Super Open motorcycle scrambles, Alex Dzikiewicz, Chris Luszczek, Zach Cleland, Andrew Tremblay and Charles Tremblay led the pack out of the first turn.
When the leaders had completed the opening lap, Dzikiewicz continued to lead but was being closely pursued by Nick Davis in second. Luszczek, Charles Tremblay and Andrew Tremblay rounded out the top five.
Davis caught and passed Dzikiewicz on lap two and took the lead; Dzikiewicz was relegated to second. Third through fifth were unchanged.
Davis continued to lead for the rest of the race and took the checkers for the win. Dzikiewicz, Luszczek, Tremblay and Cleland completed the top five.
When the green flag dropped for the start of the Quad Novice division scrambles, Allen Rhodes, Cyrus Homer, Devon Feehan, Mike Orcutt and Jordan Allen led the pack out of the first turn.
Rhodes continued to hold the point position when the leaders entered the scoring area. Boedy Lamoreaux, Sarah Parkhurst, Homer and Feehan rounded out the top five.
Those top five remained unchanged on lap three. Lamoreaux passed Rhodes on the following lap and took the lead; Rhodes was displaced to second. Homer moved up to third, which dropped Parkhurst to fourth. Feehan remained fifth.
Lamoreaux continued to lead on lap five and held on to take the win. Rhodes, Homer, Parkhurst and Feehan closed out the top five.

Andrea Steward is native of the San Fernando Valley and a real estate agent that works in all the surrounding valleys, Simi Valley, Santa Clarita, and the San Fernando Valley. She has been a licensed realtor for eight years and works for the prestigious brokerage Keller Williams. Steward’s extensive knowledge of the San Fernando Valley has made her a real asset to her clients as they approach the home buying process.
“I have always had a love for houses. On weekends my family and I would visit open houses of all types. My sister went into real estate and she encouraged me to get my license so we could have a family business,” shares Steward. Stewards’ time in real estate has led her to gravitate more towards first-time home buyers, who she enjoys helping through the often confusing and frustrating process of buying a home.
Home buyers, especially first-time buyers, often think that “they are going to find everything they want in a home. This is probably the most difficult part,” says Steward. However, she says, “It’s just like anything in life, no one or no thing has it all.” She understands this struggle home buyers go through and it has served her well. What makes Steward such a successful and respected agent is the level of empathy she brings to every single one of her clients.
Here is what one of her home buyers, G. Ayers, had to say about her, “I highly recommend working with Andrea. She is dedicated to seeing you through finding your home and making sure the deal gets closed.”
Steward explains, “I put myself in my client’s shoes. I listen closely to what they say they want, and I try to get to know them as a person somewhat, to better achieve what they want and desire in a home.” It is this same level of attentiveness and keen sense that kept Steward in the real estate business during the market crash a few years ago.
“I believed that the market would come back and things are picking up again now,” she says. What has helped Steward navigate those tough years was she also had another stream of income. “I was able to stay in real estate because I have a full-time job in addition to being a realtor. During the tough time in the market, I was fortunate that I still had my income and I was able to maintain my credentials.” In spite of her faith that the market would rebound, Steward knew it was a wise decision to maintain her license because she plans to go full time in real estate after she retires.
Another place her faith shines though is in the clients she works with. “Most of my clients have been Christians,” explains Steward. “I enjoy working with people of faith. We can speak the same ‘language,’ and both of us understand how important it is to not put negative words on a situation. It’s also nice to be able to say, ‘I will be praying (for you),’ and they are grateful and comfortable with that.”
Although she primarily works with buyers, Steward plans on expanding to sellers as well. Her empathy has lended itself well over the years to buyers, but she understands sellers’ needs as well.
Much like the support she gives to her clients, Steward says she feels that same support from her employer, Keller Williams. “I heard really positive things about Keller Williams from more than one Realtor. Since becoming a Realtor for Keller Williams, I have appreciated the support I get from other agents as well as my broker.”
Steward’s promise to her customers is that she “will commit to providing the best possible customer service to ensure your home buying experience is as easy and stress-free as possible, and that you get the home you are looking for because it’s out there.” For more information and how to contact Andrea Steward visit: http://www.kw.com/kw/agent/a242565.

Affirmations for Healing
Affirmations for Healing:
Health is the foundation of my being.
I am vibrant with energy and bursting with life in my renewed body.
I heal with peace, joy and ease.
My body already knows how to heal and thrive. I allow my system to bring me to optimum health.
I am so grateful for my healing.
My _________ is healed, and I feel fabulous!
I listen to and trust my intuition to guide me toward healing.
God expresses through me as perfect health.
I am willing to release my disease and embrace perfect health.
I rest in my knowledge that I am being guided toward the doctors and medications that will restore my health.
The key when saying, and/or reading, affirmations is to feel the feelings they portray. It can help to fully relax and know that at the core of your being, these statements are true. If they feel out of reach or you are having a hard time convincing yourself of their truth, adjust the affirmation to include the words choose, potential, or willing to make them true for you at this moment.
Also, affirmations gain their power from repetition. The more often you say them, the more they will impact your reality. Affirmations are not
a one-time-event…say them once and life is perfect. Affirmations are an everyday choice, a choice we make with our thoughts and feelings. The more often you use them, the quicker you will begin to see new opportunities, engage in new healthy behaviors, and feel energized by the direction your life will be taking.
To learn more about making affirmations part of your daily routine, visit All About Affirmations.

All barrels blazing at once. It's also got a pistol grip and a belt that feeds who the hell knows where. It should be noted that it doesn't make an appearance in the film at all which is a tease. I bought the VHS specifically because I wanted Reb Brown shooting VC with his mini-minigun and blowing helicopters out of the sky firing rockets from his grenade attachment but they cheated me out of it.
But it's nowhere near the most ridiculous gun design I've seen, the one on the cover of Rebel Soldier takes the cake:

Appleseed Alpha. I won't claim to be an Appleseed expert, but I think they got a number of things wrong. There are things that don't seem to fit events from earlier comics and movies, at least. More importantly, Deunan doesn't seem like Deunan (Tomb Raider chest enlargement syndrome aside).

If people want something to do while waiting for Mad Max: Fury Road, then Doomsday is an acceptable Mad Max clone.
It's by Neil Marshall, who seems to be the master of making not-great-but-not-bad-british-versions-of-classic-movies-with-probably-a-tenth-of-the-budget.
It has the requisite 'people with crazy hair and face paint' and 'hero with a cool black car' and even manages the 'arena combat for a mad fantasy/future ruler'.
Not mindblowing, but pretty fun.

I caugh Dans la maison on TV and I must say it's amazing. The script is brilliantly written, a masterpiece, and the performances don't let down. Towards the end it kinda falls apart, but it's still very worth it.
I have to agree with The Merovingian, even the most banal things when said in French gain a certain gravitas. At least for foreigners.

A bunch (nearly all of) my friends have downloaded a copy of The Expendables 3 and watched it. It's not getting a cinema release for another two weeks, which means I've two weeks of trying to avoid hearing them all talking about it.
I know these movies are dumb, but they're fun. And the best way to experience them is in a cinema, with a loud sound system and on a big screen.
29-07-2014, 04:56 PM #2627
You know I am not averse to The Expendables but really they are not fun they really are rubbish, the first one was soooo dull for what was supposed to be a cheesy action movie. And yes there was a lot of CGI!
29-07-2014, 05:08 PM #2628

They are fun though, at least I think so. They're stupid. They've bad jokes, lots of guns, lots of explosions. Lots of mediocre acting from action heros of days gone by. They've brought together names that have never worked before and even if they're just doing it for fun or a paycheck, it doesn't really matter because they're doing it. Just look at the list of names in the third one. No, none of these guys are at the prime of their careers but to see them all together is pretty damn good.
The second one is better than the first. I'm hoping the third manages to do the same again.

I'm trying to figure out how he would use that stand when he wants to "snipe" someone. The gun would keep falling over forwards...? Maybe backwards if the scope+rpg launcher is heavy enough?

It's scouncher, you can shoot RPG rounds from it or use it as a scope (just don't forget unload it first).
Prophecy by John Frankenheimer. I miss these days when horror movies weren't clones of 1-2 shitty concepts with blue tint filter slapped on top of digitally overprocessed footage of scare jumps. Meh.

Watched Banshee Chapter, a streaming Netflix conspiracy-theory horror movie. Some b-movie elements, sometimes poor acting, but they did their conspiracy theory homework, and there weren't gaping plot holes, so long as you're willing to accept the Lovecraftian premises. Kept me awake through it, and it's been weeks or months since a streaming Netflix movie did that.
After that, I started inventing my own conspiracy theory, which I decided to base on Greek myths about Crete, so then I needed a bit of research. Had never seen Bettany Hughes's The Ancient World before, but it, too, kept me awake for its nearly two hour running length-- and the Crete episode is just one of seven. Highly recommended for anyone else who is interested in Minoan Crete (lol), and it's free on youtube, at least in the US.

I'm not sure a 9 year old should be watching wrestling.
IMHO wrestling is only good when you first discover it. When you are impressed by the spectacle and the violence, and get caught up the the drama of the soap opera stories. The problem is that wrestling is basically repeating the same 3-4 stories endlessly, just changing the faces... so after a year or so the illusion gets broken, and seeing the same moves becomes less impressive than it was at first.
I got really into it for a year or two. then not.

I can't remember watching much wrestling on free to air TV in Australia so my exposure was mostly whatever Wrestlemania tapes I could get as a rental. I moved on to wrestling video games once they started getting really good.
I love shitty movies! 2020 Freedom Fighters, a way below average but way violent post apocalyptic western. It's Mad Max meets 1990: The Bronx Warriors with crucifixion, bar fights, a prison break, Indians on horseback and plenty of sweet knife kills all wrapped up in the typical ultra low budget Italian actionsploitation trappings (except it's not filmed in the Phillipines). Which probably makes it sound like the most exciting thing ever but it's kinda middling. The final kill is pretty awesome though. No crazy guns on the VHS cover unfortunately, just a guy with a bazooka facing down a Road Warriors reject with a bowgun both of whom are not appearing in this picture.

Just watched Guardians of The Galaxy - Really entertaining film, with really good characters goes the loveble rogues in space route which is fairly fun. A lot of great jokes, great action scenes, the 3D was probably the best I've seen really done well, a very beautiful film to look at with lots of space stuff going on in a lot of shots. It also has a little bit of James Gunn weirdness in it. What more can you want from a summer blockbuster, Marvel really know what they are doing and really make great films.

The residents of Wisconsin have actually remained confused over whether or otherwise not CBD oil is appropriate in the continuing state or perhaps not. Cannabidiol (CBD) can be used all over the usa, though it really isn’t everywhere that is legal. Almost all of their users go on it to ease them of an increasing variety of health issues that this new “it” drug helps you to treat.
With plenty confusion rising over whether or not CBD oil is appropriate in Wisconsin, Brad Schimel, the state’s District Attorney, clarified where things stay.
Is CBD Oil Currently Legal in Wisconsin?
CBD (Cannabidiol) is just one of the active cannabinoid chemical compounds being present in marijuana flowers. Another primary cannabinoid chemical is the primary psychoactive called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol.) Unlike THC, the cannabidiol compound doesn’t create hallucinogenic effects or produce the “high” that cannabis, and its own variations, are recognized for.
During District Attorney Brad Schimel’s clarification, he caused it to be clear that CBD oil caused by commercial hemp are appropriate in Wisconsin. Limited circumstances while the direction of a physician are needed. Hemp CBD oil contains not as much as 0.03per cent THC, while cannabis CBD oil produced from the cannabis plant is unlawful. It includes sufficient THC to cause the “high” that many people seek.
There clearly was a specific industrial hemp program put in place in Wisconsin. It allows farmers never to just develop industrial hemp, but offer it. Nevertheless, they do demand a license through the Department of Agriculture. Provided that farmers are after the regulations, they are unable to be criminally prosecuted for growing or selling commercial hemp, or its derivatives.
The farmers who will be taking part in Wisconsin’s pilot program are completely protected, because would be the dispensaries and shops that the farmers can sell the hemp that is industrial CBD oil to. The oil has to be accordingly labeled, making sure the customer is alert to what they’re purchasing to ensure their security.
Suppliers and Police
Memos to police force in Wisconsin happen delivered to clear up any problems as to how they’ve been to navigate any prospective issues. Because of the quality that officials now have, police have actually an obvious comprehension of simple tips to keep residents of Wisconsin utilizing CBD oil secure. The previous state legislation left officials without any adequate knowledge, in addition they had a need to fix the problem by themselves.
Distributors of cbd oil industrial hemp processed into CBD oil or other variation are to advise all dispensaries, outlets, and stores that are retail their item that they usually have followed all regulations. The labeling has to declare that this product arises from commercial hemp and it has significantly less than 0.03% THC.
When legislation officials in almost any Wisconsin county run into CBD services and products to get, their duty would be to figure out that this product is being sold legitimately. Otherwise, police are to eliminate it through the racks and demand to find the room for other illegal CBD services and products. Surprisingly, studies have shown that despite labeling, almost all of CBD oil that’s been tested contained THC. Once the item includes tetrahydrocannabinol above 0.03per cent, it is illegal.
Where you can Purchase CBD Oil in Wisconsin?
You will find quite a few CBD shops in Wisconsin for a situation which has such stale laws and regulations concerning medical marijuana programs. Aside from that, you’re prone to find a store within driving distance any place in Wisconsin. Listed here is a listing of a number of the top stores being proven to offer legally produced CBD oil made of industrial hemp.
• Hydra Puff Vapes – Madison • Knuckleheads – Madison • Community Pharmacy – Madison • Willy Street Co-op North – Madison • Sunshine Daydream – Madison • Green Fields – Milwaukee • Knuckleheads Tobacco & Gifts – Milwaukee • 414 Glass & Grooves – Milwaukee • GNC – Milwaukee • The Vape Apes – Milwaukee • Infinite Vapor Milwaukee – Milwaukee • Dripper’s Paradise – Milwaukee • Natural Food Shop – Milwaukee • Smokin’ Glass – Green Bay • Green Bay East Vapin United States Of America – Green Bay • GNC – Green Bay • CBD Oil Products Green Bay – Green Bay • Natural Healthy Concepts – Appleton • Marley’s Smoke Shop – Appleton • E-Cig Store – Appleton • Vap – Manitowoc • Smokin’ Discounts Tobacco – West Allis • Eau Claire Tobacco Shop – Eau Claire • Legacy Vapor Cafe – Kenosha • Hideaway – Hudson
Could it be Legal to get CBD Oil On Line in Wisconsin?
CBD oil is easily obtainable on line, and also as long as exactly exactly what you’re purchasing is hemp CBD oil, you ought to be fine. Buying products online is constantly a danger, specially when it comes down to buying people that have strict foibles. There are numerous natural hemp sources available on the internet, and there’s also an opportunity that one may find hemp CBD oil for a cheaper price.
Make sure that the business you will be considering putting a purchase with is entirely transparent. There should not be any hesitations whenever answering your concerns. It is imperative that you make yes you might be conscious of every ingredient into the CBD oil, and also make sure the THC portion is not as much as 0.03% or perhaps not detected. Learn it has been processed and if eco-friendly methods were used if it is free of solvents, how many times. Additionally, make sure the business is available to providing lab that is third-party should you request it.
Greenroadsworld.com is really a site that is great buy hemp CBD oil, in addition they offer lab sheets due to their items.
Medical Marijuana Program
Wisconsin is one of the most repressive states in the us concerning marijuana that is medical and policies which were implemented. The bill that is CBD-only finalized in 2014 that said clients with Epilepsy or any other seizure problems could receive legal security when discovered with CBD. In 2017, Lydia’s Law ended up being introduced. Lydia’s Law states that most clients with any condition that possesses page from their physician are protected.
Lydia’s Law nevertheless references CBD-only services and products, and no matter when there is a doctor’s note, it is still unlawful to obtain CBD or cannabis with traces of THC. What the law states is unfortuitously called Lydia’s Law being a tribute to Lydia that is young Schaeffer endured a uncommon type of Epilepsy and passed away inside her rest. It absolutely was constant lobbying by Lydia’s mother, household, activists, along with other families that helped have it forced to Governor Scott Walker’s desk. an after the governor signed the bill, lydia passed away in her sleep on mother’s day month.
Despite hemp CBD oil being legal in Wisconsin, it continues to be reasonably tricky for deserving clients to have their fingers for a page from their physician. Doctors need medication licenses through the federal Food And Drug Administration.

12th human case confirmed; fatalities remain at 3.
BOSTON — The official death toll in the state from Eastern equine encephalitis virus remains at three, after a hospital incorrectly reported a fourth death Wednesday, the state Department of Public Health said in a statement Thursday.
A hospital erroneously notified the department that an Essex County resident was the fourth person to die of the virus in Massachusetts this year, according to the statement.
The department has protocols in place to confirm cases of EEE, the statement says. The treating hospital sends suspected EEE cases to the state public health lab for testing. The department then notifies the treating hospital if the patient tested positive for EEE.
The treating hospital is not mandated to report a death, the statement says. If the hospital voluntarily reports the death, however, the department considers it an official report.
The department Thursday also confirmed that a 12th human case of EEE was found in a woman in her 70s from Hampden County. The patient is hospitalized.
There are 35 communities now at critical risk, 53 at high risk and 121 at moderate risk for the EEE virus in Massachusetts.
On the Cape, EEE-infected mosquitoes have been found in Bourne, Mashpee, Falmouth, Wellfleet and Truro.
“Although mosquito populations are declining, the weather is keeping them active,” state epidemiologist Dr. Catherine Brown said in the statement. “We continue to emphasize the need for people to protect themselves from mosquito bites.”

A family vacation with teens doesn’t have to be a trying experience. One thing you can do to make the experience more enjoyable for your teens (which translates to more enjoyable for Mom and Dad) is to choose a vacation spot with a variety of things to do.
Give your teens choices. If they only have one or two choices they may feel stuck. If they have a variety activities available they will feel like they have some control over how they spend their time.
When choosing a destination for your family vacation, be sure to include your teens in the process.
You may be able to pick a good spot without their input but they will be resistant to it because they were not part of the choice. Selecting your vacation idea together lets them know that you care about their feelings. Create a goal for your vacation that you and your teens can share. Maybe you can all learn a new fun skill or improve one that you already share.
Backpacking and camping are good examples of vacation ideas for teenagers. It's a great way for everyone to learn about nature and learn some valuable skills. This can go a long way towards improving the self-esteem of teens.
Your teens need their space. When you arrange accommodations for a family vacation with your teens, try to get them sleeping quarters separate from you. You will appreciate staying away from their normal messiness and they will appreciate not having Mom and Dad on top of them all the time.
Another tip to keep a vacation with teens running smoothly is make sure that there are activities that they can do without you. Togetherness can be great but not constantly. Give them time and opportunity to be off by themselves for a portion of the vacation.
Vacation activities tend to focus on the daytime hours. But if you vacation with teens you need to think of the evening also. Teens are less likely to want to sit around relaxing in the evening like their parents. Find some evening teen-friendly activities.
If your teen has a best friend, invite their buddy along. This can really go a long way towards making a family vacation with teens a pleasant and rewarding experience for everyone.
How about a Multi-Sport Adventure vacation in tropical Costa Rica. Thomson Family Adventures is an outfitter that offers 9 days of rafting, hiking, swimming and photography in the Costa Rica rainforests.
Explore, learn how to salsa, enjoy fun Caribbean music along with the white sand-beaches and pristine National Park forests. It's all geared towards teenagers. What an excellent way to spend a family adventure vacation with your teens.
They also have many other great vacation ideas for families. One example is their Smithsonian Family Adventures. These are getaways that combine adventure and learning. Working with the Smithsonian Institute, Thomson Family Adventures takes you past the typical tourist agenda to experience and learn about other cultures.
An idea for a challenging and adventurous family vacation with teens is river rafting on the Upper New River in West Virginia.
There are a number of good outfitters along the Upper New River that specialize in family camping and rafting trips. This river is very popular with families because the rapids are well suited for beginners and kids.
Adventures on the Gorge offers a wide variety of family oriented adventures including rafting, zip lines, horseback riding and more. Most of the rapids are class one, which is the easiest of the six official classifications. The inflatable rafts are piloted by experienced guides who also cook and help with your camp each night. This is a great way for your teens to enjoy the outdoors and the excitement of the river rafting experience.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- For the better part of a month, Weston McKennie has been riding the ups and downs of getting familiar with a new position, new teammates, a (mostly) new manager and a new system. There have been uneven performances, like in the Gold Cup quarterfinal against Curacao when, despite scoring the game's only goal, McKennie was loose with too many passes and looked out of sync defensively with midfield partner Michael Bradley.
But Wednesday's 3-1 semifinal triumph over Jamaica saw McKennie back on a decidedly upward trajectory. The Schalke midfielder opened the scoring in the ninth minute, making the kind of late run -- in this case to latch on to Reggie Cannon's cross -- that has become one of his signature plays.
"When we play him as a No. 10, it's very specific when we want him getting in the penalty box," U.S. men's national team coach Gregg Berhalter said. "We played him a little deeper today in buildup, and that's him picking those moments -- he's very good at that. He's a very dynamic runner. As the ball is wide, he sees where the space is and attacks it. We've seen him do that for Schalke and that's why we were comfortable playing him in the No. 10 position because we know he can get in the penalty box and arrive."
But there was more to McKennie's game than just the goal. He created a team-high three chances, including one in the 52nd minute to Jordan Morris that resulted in Andre Blake saving a shot, only for Christian Pulisic to put home the rebound. He also did his bit on the defensive end alongside Bradley. All told, it was McKennie's most complete performance in a U.S. shirt, and it speaks to the progress he has made over the past month.
"Learning this system and getting used to it, I think it's gotten better over time," he said. "I think when I first got in, I was a little fresh on the new system that we were playing. [Berhalter] and the coaching staff and the players around me and the players that have been with him before, helped me get comfortable in the system that he plays. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it."
The best piece of advice that he's gotten over the last several weeks? "Be brave and have confidence and have fun," he said.
Outwardly, it looks like McKennie's role has evolved over the past month. It started out with him playing higher up the field, but with Berhalter abandoning -- at least for the moment -- the inverted right-back/center-mid hybrid position, McKennie has been playing more box-to-box, getting into the attack while at the same time helping out Bradley. Berhalter admitted that there have been some tweaks.
"What we're working on with him is the positional play, the smaller movements, the detail of positioning in the way we play," the U.S. manager said. "But what he's teaching us is this raw ability. He made a couple of good runs in the penalty box. He's another guy who can solve things by dribbling alone with his physicality and his ball control."
McKennie insists little has changed in terms of his role, and that it's more a product of gaining familiarity, which has allowed him the freedom to take more risks and have a better sense of where and when to move. It's an evolution that has been noticed by Bradley.
"He's getting better every game, he's getting more comfortable," Bradley said. "I think his personality starts to come out more and more. I think the experience that he and I are getting now over the course of a few games has been good in terms of understanding each other, the partnership, of what it means on certain days, playing to each other's strengths."
The improvement also can be seen in his passing. According to ESPN Stats & Information, McKennie completed 100% of his passes in the attacking third, and he set up Gyasi Zardes on a breakaway that the forward squandered. It all points to more cohesion all over the field.
"The system that we have, we're all connected and we make it very predictable for ourselves but not the opponent, where our options are and where we can play the next pass," he said. "It makes it easier on us. There were a couple of balls I played one-touch and a couple of balls [like the] one I played to Jordan Morris on the second goal, you know where the players are going to be, and you know in the system that he has that you can play those type of balls."
McKennie's improvement is a critical piece to the U.S. team's success. Pulisic has shouldered an inordinate amount of creative responsibility. The Chelsea player scored two goals against Jamaica, but by his own admission wasn't at his best.
"I don't think I was very clean all night," he said. "My final pass wasn't great. A lot of times when I did make the right decisions in the final third and in the midfield, I lost too many balls."
If McKennie helps pick up the slack, like he did on this night, then that gives the U.S. a badly needed additional channel in attack.
Now McKennie is poised to play in the biggest game of his international career. As Wednesday's game wound down the fans chanted, "We want Mexico!" and McKennie echoed those sentiments.
"It's going to be a fun game," he said. "I think the fans want it, I think we want it, and we're looking forward to it."
If McKennie can offer up a similar performance on Sunday, then he and his U.S. teammates may very well end up as Gold Cup champions.

Completed in 1922, Senecio is a manifestation of Paul's sense of humor and African culture. The simple colors and shapes, Paul makes use of various shades of orange, red, and yellow to reveal portrait of an old man.
Artistic use of shapes gives the false impression that one eye browse is raised. His left eye brow is represented by a triangle while the other one is made of a simple curved line. The portrait is also called Head of a
Man Going Senile and intentionally mimics children's artwork by using ambiguous shapes and forms with minimal facial details.
This adaptation of the human face is divided by colour into rectangles. Flat geometric squares are held within a circle representing a masked face and displaying the multi-coloured costume of a harlequin. A portrait of the artist performer Senecio, it can be seen as a symbol of the shifting relationship between art, illusion and the world of drama. This painting demonstrates Klee's principles of art, in which the graphic elements of line, colour planes and space are set in motion by an energy from the artist's mind. In his imaginative doodlings, he liked, in his own words, to "take a line for a walk" .

The world of digital marketing moves pretty fast, which can sometimes cause companies to overspend on their PPC (Point Per Click) advertising. While it is important to stay up to date with your Search Engine Marketing keywords that can generate traffic and sales on your company’s website, it is just as important to manage and stay up to date with the negative keywords associated with the advertisements for your product or brand.
Negative keywords can quickly become a costly problem if they are allowed to remain associated with a certain ad, as they can initially cause a consumer to click on the ad, only to discover your actual website features a different product or service, unrelated to the original search. To improve your click to sale conversion rate, and save your company a significant amount of money, it is important to stay on top of these negative keywords.
So what exactly are these negative keywords? Google AdWords defines them as “a kind of keyword that prevents your ads from showing on irrelevant search queries.” An example of a negative keyword would be something like this: Imagine you are a plumber in Vancouver and have started to advertise online. For your PPC campaign you would likely want to list a word like “jobs” as a negative keyword. That way, you will avoid having your site appear in searches like “plumbing jobs”, which is good for you, since you aren’t hiring, and don’t want to spend any of your PPC budget on other plumbers looking for work.
There are a number of tools that marketers use to identify and isolate negative keywords like this one. Some are designed to actively identify negative keywords and are better suited to companies that often run different multiple PPC campaigns. Other tools take a more generalized approach to negative keywords, and are better suited to smaller companies like our plumber example that may not advertise as much or as often.
Here are few other tips to keep in mind when identifying negative keywords:
- Make searching for and identifying negative keywords a part of your company’s regular tasks, not just something you have completed for each new ad campaign. This will help you save a lot of money in the long run. In fact Negative Keywords should be added at least once a month if not weekly.
- Be as specific as possible when identifying negative keywords. There is a fine line between identifying the right words and identifying too many negative keywords. For example, it’s usually not a good idea to categorize a word like ‘green’ as a negative keyword. Since it is such a generally used word, it will be difficult to anticipate a time when won’t be relevant to a search related to your company.
- Do not identify your competitors as negative keywords. This may seem like an easy way to streamline your searches, but it can actually end up limiting the amount of exposure your company gets compared to your competitors.

Consequently, the tanker started emitting liquid and there was a fire outbreak, which has turned into a big and serious fire outbreak, causing commotion in this surrounding People, market women and lot of properties was lost.
The fire also affected the popular Ochanja market, burnt many, including a woman and her baby.

Five years ago, BBC Radio 1 gained a new controller. Matthew Bannister said he was going to reinvent the station, the most popular in Europe. But things didn't go exactly to plan. The station lost millions of listeners. Its most famous DJs left, and their replacements proved to be disasters. Radio 1's commercial rivals regarded the internal turmoil with glee. For a while a saviour arrived, in the shape of Chris Evans. But his behaviour caused further upheavals, and his eventual departure provoked another mass desertion by listeners. What was to be done? In the middle of this crisis, Radio 1 bravely (or foolishly) allowed the writer Simon Garfield to observe its workings from the inside. For a year he was allowed unprecedented access to management meetings and to DJs in their studios, to research briefings and playlist conferences. Everyone interviewed spoke in passionate detail about their struggle to make their station credible and successful once more. The result is a gripping and often hilarious portrait a much loved national institution as it battles back from the brink of calamity.

Their toolkit should allow us to be more strategic in our outreach – providing the right messages at the right times and then measuring our success.
Roswell, GA (PRWEB) June 12, 2014
Tea Leaves Health has announced today an agreement with Advocate Health Care (Downers Grove, IL), one of the nation’s top health systems and the largest health system in Illinois. Advocate will use the Tea Leaves Health Strategic Growth Platform to provide the company advanced business intelligence applications to meet strategic growth initiatives.
“We look forward to working with Tea Leaves as we strengthen the connections we have with our patients,” said Kelly Jo Golson, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Advocate Health Care. “Their toolkit should allow us to be more strategic in our outreach – providing the right messages at the right times and then measuring our success.”
Jim Schleck, founding partner at Tea Leaves Health, added, “We are very excited about the partnership and the opportunity to work with the team at Advocate Health Care. We view all our customers as collaborative partners, and Advocate has pushed the envelope in health care CRM for over 10 years. Through this relationship we are confident that we will be able to further evolve our solutions to greater levels for all providers.”
The Tea Leaves Health Strategic Growth Platform advances the art and science of healthcare business growth by integrating broader data sets and functionality – including strategic planning, consumer analytics/CRM, physician analytics/CRM, employer, preference, satisfaction, predictive analytics, and quality – into an intuitive web-based platform. With the Strategic Growth Platform, healthcare providers are able to see how marketplace influences are affecting care delivery and then tactically implement and measure strategies that will positively impact the behavior of consumers and physicians. The application supports initiatives around population health management, readmission reduction/care transmission, and chronic care/disease management programs.
About Advocate Health Care
Advocate Health Care, named among the nation’s Top 5 large health systems based on quality by Truven Analytics, is the largest health system in Illinois and one of the largest health care providers in the Midwest. Advocate operates more than 250 sites of care, including 12 hospitals that encompass 11 acute care hospitals, the state’s largest integrated children’s network, five Level I trauma centers (the state’s highest designation in trauma care), three Level II trauma centers, one of the area’s largest home health care companies and one of the region’s largest medical groups. Advocate Health Care trains more primary care physicians and residents at its four teaching hospitals than any other health system in the state. As a not-for-profit, mission-based health system affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the United Church of Christ, Advocate contributed $614 million in charitable care and services to communities across Chicagoland and Central Illinois in 2012.
About Tea Leaves Health
Tea Leaves Health was formed in 2011 by a group of healthcare CRM and PRM experts with extensive experience working with providers. The Tea Leaves’ Strategic Growth Platform is the only healthcare application comprehensive enough to provide the business intelligence and tools needed to leverage proprietary data and marketplace analytics, targeted and personalized content, and message delivery through any communication channel to drive strategic growth from high-value consumers and physicians.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• On Sunday afternoon, my husband went to the store to pick up a few things, including a bag of six bell peppers I asked him to get.
Last night after dinner, I started chopping them up so they’d be ready to go.
I love red, yellow, and orange peppers!
I always add them to my eggs and also like to sauté them for dinner.
But last night, I was about halfway through the bag when I realized one of the peppers had mold on it.
I searched the internet and found an article about what foods are safe to eat after they’ve been near mold.
Peppers were deemed “probably” safe so I finished chopping and they are in my refrigerator.
At least they will be until I post today’s blog.
Then they are going in the trash.
I just can’t bring myself to eat the “good” peppers when they’ve been in a bag with a moldy one.
Sometimes, we experience this kind of quandary with people and issues in our lives.
In 2 Corinthians 7:1, it says, “Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.”
This is complicated theology to me and I’m not a theologian.
So forgive me for tripping my way through this.
But this passage is a call for Holy living according to God’s standards.
Not a polluted version that is watered down by the world’s interpretation.
Throughout his letters to the Corinthians, Paul encouraged them to wash their hands of pagan practices which made their way into the early Christian church.
This verse serves as a warning to the body of Christ.
Out of reverence to God and the truth of the Gospel, we should not allow ourselves to be contaminated by unholy practices, lifestyles, or choices.
It’s not about what other people or the world says is okay.
We should only be concerned about what God says.
We should honor God through obedient hearts that want His will more than our own.
Today, as you pray, thank God that His word is both timeless and perfect.
Ask the Holy Spirit to help you filter all things through the Word of God so that your life can be clean and uncontaminated by the pollution of the world.

Schuler supplies hydraulic press line to Renault
Schuler, Canton, Mich., has announced the installation of a hydraulic press line with automation at Renault Trucks. The line can produce 22 parts/min. and achieve speeds of up to 11 SPM with bed-slide surfaces of 13.5 by 8 ft. Schuler also supplied a hydraulic lead press with 2,000 metric tons of press force and three hydraulic follow-up presses with 1,000 metric tons of force each as part of the press line, as well as the blank loader and other automation equipment.
The blank loader separates the individual blanks from each other with the aid of fanning magnets so the robot picks up a single blank from the pile to place on the conveyor belt. In the subsequent optical centering station, individual blanks are captured on camera and coordinates are sent to the loading robot. The latter then places the blanks centrally and in the correct position into the die of the lead press, making it ready for deep drawing. The parts then are given their final shape in the follow-up presses. Crossbar robots transport the parts from station to station before they are laid on one of the exit conveyors.
Renault Trucks can use both the existing dies of an older press line and specially developed dies for the production of the new truck cabins. With the aid of an automatic changing system, machine operators can exchange the complete press die set and robot tooling in less than 5 min. More than 80 different die sets are used on the line.

It’s amazing how it happens. When you were starting your home staging business you worried that you’d never get any clients. And now that you’ve built a great reputation and your business is growing rapidly you want to stop marketing because you don’t think you can take on any more clients.
Sound familiar? If so, you need to get that thought right out of your head.
You can never stop marketing your business, not even when you’re so busy you can’t see out from under all of your projects. Why? Because if you stop marketing, your successful home staging business will dry up and you’ll be stuck wondering why you don’t have any clients anymore.
As long as you’re marketing and you have people interested in working with you, you have possibilities. When you stop marketing and the phone stops ringing and everyone forgets about your services, you don’t have a business anymore.
Never worry about being too busy. If that day has come, or is quickly approaching, you’ll figure out a way to deal with it. You’ll either raise your rates, or you’ll have a waiting list. Maybe you get an assistant to help you out on a part-time basis.
There are lots of ways you can deal with the “problem” of having too many clients, but if you go from having lots of buzz about you being this great home stager and then you suddenly stop marketing, everyone will quickly forget about you. Then you’ll have no more clients and that is a much worse problem than being too busy.
When I started Six Elements Inc., my home staging business, I assumed that if someone wanted me to stage their house, I had to schedule that appointment within the next week. This put me in constant “urgent mode,” thinking I had to drop everything in my life to run to these clients’ homes right away. This belief put tons of undue pressure on me during the busy season when I found myself trying to squeeze in 20 clients over a two week period.
But in my second year of business, I was forced to change my ways. I was really busy and I had to start telling people if they wanted to work with me, it would be a six week wait. Much to my surprise, people were fine with this. They wanted me to stage their house bad enough that they would wait until I could squeeze them in. In fact, the wait seemed to make my services even more desirable!
So if you’re afraid that you’re getting too busy and that’s making you want to stop marketing your business, stop and think about it for a minute. Is it really a problem that you have more people than you expected wanting you to stage their homes?
If you’re a home stager I’d love for you to comment here and tell us whether you’ve ever been tempted to cut your marketing because business was too good, or whether you tried other techniques like creating a waiting list or raising your rates.

Not sure why the media does this. Oh yeah... I actually do... clicks.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post has a great piece today about how the Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopolous was basically better at his job than Brian Cashman was when it came to the A's sending Josh Donaldson to Toronto.
"... Cashman called Oakland general manager Billy Beane to check in on
this, and one of Cashman’s best friends in the game assured him
Donaldson was going nowhere.
Here comes the except.
Except Alex Anthopoulos just would not stop calling. He wanted
Donaldson, wanted him so badly that “no” was not an acceptable answer.
'Alex is and was certainly relentless,' Oakland assistant GM David
Forst said by phone. 'That is his personality. But we didn’t trade Josh
to make Alex go away.'
In arguably the key moment of the 2015 season — certainly when it
comes to shaping the AL East — Anthopoulos’ untiring efforts were
rewarded. If he called about Scott Kazmir or Jeff Samardzija or just to
gab, he eventually inquired about Donaldson, dropping hints about what
he might be willing to surrender to obtain the third baseman.
Eventually — in the A’s way of thinking — he made an offer that could
not be refused. An offer so good that Oakland never shopped Donaldson
to a single other team. Not the Yankees. Not anybody."
Here's the reality. First off, it's over now, we can't go back and so what does it matter? Secondly, while Cashman appears not aggressive here in his pursuit of Donaldson, let's not forget, the Yankees were doing their best to not part with the kids in our minor league system...something the Yankee fans really, really wanted! It was the off-season and there was much to be said about Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Greg Bird and Rob Refsnyder.
As you probably remember, the Rockies were very interested in many of our prospect players for Troy Tulowitzki as we reported from my source inside the Rox camp.
Read SOURCE: ROX WANT "A LOT" OF TOP PROSPECTS FOR TULO for a refresher. That article was all about the names they were throwing around. Good nugget on that internal chatter. In the end, trading our kids would have been a deal breaker and nothing happened... rightly so. But now apply it to the Yankees and Josh Donaldson. It's a combination of us being unwilling to give up prospects and Cashman's lack of aggressiveness that was the result of nothing happening. It happened for the Blue Jays however. They landed Donaldson and ironically, Troy Tulowitzki too.
But what does this story do now for us Yankee fans? It annoys us... or, it at least annoys me. Donaldson is tearing it up in Toronto and you gotta wonder if he'd be tearing it up if he was in New York. Then again, if Donaldson was shitting the bed right now and sucking... would this story even come out? Probably not...
We Yankee fans like the hot players... we always covet what the other teams have after the fact and the media knows this. This one we can't do anything about, other than be mad and feel bad about ourselves... DAMN YOU SHERMAN!
Anyway... I just wanted to share it. Good, interesting piece.

We knew it was coming, of course — the cancer he was diagnosed with around a decade ago is one which most people survive for a long time, but which pretty much always gets you within a decade or so, and his absence from Monkees shows last year (and his obvious frailty on the one song he contributed to their Christmas Party! album) made it clear that he wasn’t doing well at all. But it’s still upsetting as hell to learn that Peter Tork has died.
Tork was underrated, even by Monkees fans — there was the joke in Brooklyn Nine-Nine last year about someone on a quiz show “He named all of the Monkees! Even Tork! Nobody remembers Tork!” — but he was a massive, massive talent as a performer, especially as an instrumentalist. The jibe about the Monkees not playing their own instruments was never totally true — even on the first album, which was largely played by session musicians, Tork played guitar on multiple tracks — but when they took over their own record-making process, Tork’s playing on banjo and keyboards was what really held the band together in the studio, and some of the most distinctive instrumental parts on their mid-period records — the harpsichord on “The Girl I Knew Somewhere”, the piano intro on “Daydream Believer”, the sharp piano chords on the middle eight of “Pleasant Valley Sunday” were Tork’s work and Tork’s conception.
And he was a remarkable live performer. I only saw him live three times, sadly, but he was the highlight of those three Monkees shows, moving with a physicality and comic timing reminiscent of Harpo Marx, while switching effortlessly between guitar, bass, banjo, keyboards, and even French horn.
He was also an excellent songwriter and a better singer than he was given credit for, whose work on the Monkees’ reunion albums was generally a highlight of them (and in the case of Pool It! was more or less the album’s only redeeming feature). He wasn’t allowed to sing much on the records in the early years, but his vocals on “Little Girl” and “Wasn’t Born To Follow” on 2016’s Good Times! were some of the best of his career, and those two tracks were, for me at least, highlights of one of the band’s best albums.
He was very easy to dismiss. He wasn’t the front-man like Davy Jones. He wasn’t the great voice that Micky Dolenz has. And he wasn’t the mercurial genius that is Michael Nesmith. But what he was was a fine comic actor (and of all four Monkees he was the one who was most different from the character he played on screen, the only one who was really stretching himself), an excellent multi-instrumentalist, and a fine songwriter. And he was the one more than any other member of the band who pushed in the sixties for them to *be* a band, at least for a time. He was the one who insisted on them doing Headquarters by themselves, and he was the one who was most disappointed when the band started to drift into making solo records under the Monkees banner rather than continuing as a group.
The last time I saw him live was, fittingly for such a folkie, at a folk festival — Moseley Folk Festival in 2015, where the Monkees (just two of them — Micky and Peter) headlined, closing the show with a wonderful set which included the Polyphonic Spree joining them for an encore of “Porpoise Song”.
Like the other Monkees, and possibly even more so than them, Tork seemed to have a love-hate relationship with the band, and sometimes to love it while at other times seeming to resent what he saw as it taking away from his serious musical work — he made albums solo, as part of a country-folk duo, and as the leader of his blues band Shoe Suede Blues, and he seemed to regard those as being more true to his own musical soul than his work with the band he was with for three years in his twenties. But in later years he seemed to have made peace with being a Monkee, and his contributions were all over their final (non-Xmas) album from 2016. He’ll be misse,

Call Out: PsychOUT: A Conference for Organizing Resistance Against Psychiatry
PsychOUT: A Conference for Organizing Resistance Against Psychiatry
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto
May 7 & 8, 2010
Call for Papers
Over the last century, proponents of biological psychiatry have used the language of science to naturalize the medical model as an essential way of organizing and managing human experience. In contrast, collective resistance against the theories and interventions of psychiatry has intensified over recent years as psychiatric survivors, activists and community members are contesting this institution on various political fronts. Additionally, people belonging to marginalized groups who are at greater risk of psychiatrization, such as women, racialized people, queers, trans people, people with disabilities, homeless people and other people living in poverty, are resisting psychiatric oppression in different ways, as they/we recognize threats to their/our health, human rights and lives.
The purpose of this global conference is to provide a forum for psychiatric survivors, mad people, activists, scholars, students, radical professionals, and artists from around the world to come together and share experiences of organizing against psychiatry.
Dialogue about these experiences is intended:
• to foster networking and coalition building across social justice movements, disciplines and geographical locations;
• to clarify some key goals in the struggle against psychiatric oppression;
• to develop some longer-term strategies to help us achieve these goals; and
• to help us critically examine how we use specific tools for social change, such as the law, science, theory, media, art, and theatre.
This conference is focused on theory and practice that is directly related to developing strategic actions aimed at challenging the power of institutional psychiatry.
Submission of Papers, Workshops and Creative Presentations:
This global interdisciplinary, cross-movement conference welcomes academic paper, workshop, or creative presentation submissions that can include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
• Feminist organizing against psychiatry
• Anti-racist organizing against psychiatry
• Queer and trans resistance against psychiatry
• Resisting colonizing practices of psychiatry
• Resisting psychiatric interference in nations called "developing"
• Negotiating the complex space between critical disability and antipsychiatry perspectives
• Intersections between anti-poverty movements and antipsychiatry
• Networking and coalition building across disciplines and social movements
• Commonalities and tensions within the antipsychiatry, psychiatric survivor, and mad communities
• Building a global antipsychiatry movement
• Developing long-term strategies to meet antipsychiatry abolitionist goals
• Artistic and creative resistance
• Consciousness-raising initiatives
• Using the law to protect the rights of psychiatrized people
• Supporting youth and other vulnerable groups who are resisting psychiatrization
• Using science to undermine psychiatric theory and practice
• Media campaigns: Challenges, obstacles and breakthroughs
• Examining movement history to inform present-day strategy and action
• The struggle to ban electroshock: strategies, victories, mistakes and challenges
• Resisting the pharmaceutical industry
• Envisioning and creating alternatives
• Resisting the spread of psychiatric control in the community, such as community treatment sanctions
Paper abstracts, workshop or creative presentation descriptions should be between 200 and 300 words in length. Pre-formed panel proposals are also encouraged. The due date for submission is February 15, 2010. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. If an abstract is accepted for the conference, and the author would like their paper to be considered for publication in a book of conference proceedings, a full draft of the paper should be submitted by Monday, May 24, 2010.
Please submit all presentation descriptions here.
For any further information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.org

Cloth nappies are easy on your wallet
Use cloth nappies and save yourself some money! By switching to reusable nappies we estimate that you can save up to £750 compared to the cost of disposable nappies.
Babies can be expensive, so it's worth your investment in the long run. Using cloth nappies will average out at about 0.03p per change compared to 8.7p per disposable.
Cloth nappies are easy on you
Cloth nappies have zoomed into the 21st century with a super soft fluffy landing. Our cleverly designed nappies have leak-proof seams for a soft, snug fit and are super absorbent too.
Easy to use, with liner to dispose of the poo, and easy to wash. Don't soak, just store in your nappy bucket, pop them into your machine and wash with non-bio powder at 60, voila!
Cloth nappies are easy on baby
TotsBots cloth nappies are the only reusable nappy brand to be completely Oekotex 100 certified – meaning absolutely no harmful chemicals next to your bubba’s delicate bottom.
Cloth nappies are much less likely to cause nappy rash, eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions. Plus, using reusables encourages early potty training. Happy days!
Cloth nappies are easy on the Environment
Did you know that disposable nappies take up to 500 years to decompose and that so called "bio-degradeable" nappies don't actually break down in landfill. We think that stinks!
Using cloth nappies halves your weekly rubbish, reduces your carbon footprint by 40%, protects the world your baby will inherit. Even 1 cloth nappy change a day makes a difference.

Dubai Desert Palm Weekend Stay
We stayed at Dubai Desert Palm for one night – just a lovely chilled romantic weekend. Is just so unexpected and you would have no idea you were just outside the heart of Dubai.
Dubai Desert Palm Lowdown
- Chic luxury in the midst of perfectly manicured polo fields
- 28 suites are complemented by private pool villas
- Indulge in nature walks
- Try your hand at cookery classes and even wine tasting
- Lime Spa offers spa rituals, facials, massages and more across six spa suites. There’s also a menu of treatments for kids and even an eyebrow designer on hand for every cosmetic whim you might have
- A communal infinity pool overlooks one of the polo fields, where you can simply let yourself relax.
- There’s also a fitness centre on site
- Admittedly, for those looking to sample Dubai’s legendary nightlife there are better locations (even the nearest beach is over an hour away). But for a little slice of old-school, pampered Dubai living, the Desert Palm has it all.
Here are some of my pictures
So on arrival we decided to treat our self to a bit of fizz and enjoy the wonderful surrounding
We check into our room, got changed, headed to the pool for some R&R and ordered a bottle of wine to enjoy in the afternoon sun (Whats better than it being the weekend and chilling by the pool with some yummy wine in the sunshine)
So probably the best part of the hotel is the pool – its small but so peaceful and they have these awesome floats!
We where the only people by the pool and that seems the norm as the hotel is very small and lots of the suits have private pools.
The hotel has a spa and gym – from here you can hire bikes and go on a set trail
Haven’t quite nailed the bike thing!
The main, casual, restaurant is located around the pool. We went 50/50 with pizza and salad for lunch and it was AMAZING!!
I choose to upgrade the room so we had a lovey view of the polo field
We happened to be staying their over a weekend when their was a polo tournament
On to the next day and breakfast is served….
Over looking the pool
After breakfast we take a walk around the 160-acre polo estate – as you can see the grounds are extremely well manicured.
Desert Palm is a well-kept secret city escape, only 15 minutes from Dubai’s gilded centre

A Villager will lose his driver’s license after a golf cart drunk driving arrest last year.
John Carl Privitera, 63, who lives on the Historic Side of The Villages, last month in Sumter County Court pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence. He will lose his driver’s license for six months, has been placed on probation for one year and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service.
Privitera was arrested Nov. 17, 2019 along the golf cart path near Buena Vista Boulevard and Odell Circle, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.
Privitera was spotted by a Good Samaritan who feared he was ill. Privitera told the woman he was OK and just had “too much to drink,” the report said. He told her he “just wanted to lay down in the bushes for a while and rest.” EMS arrived on the scene and evaluated Privitera.
A deputy responded to the scene and found the key was still in the ignition of Privitera’s red 2009 Club Car golf cart.
The Massachusetts native told the deputy he had breakfast at Bob Evans that morning but had nothing else to eat the rest of the day. He said he spent the day at the Mallory Championship Golf Course and had one vodka martini while golfing.
Privitera struggled through field sobriety exercises and when asked to recite the alphabet, he threw his hands up in the air and said, “I can’t do it!” He provided breath samples that registered .135 and .133 blood alcohol content.

Client: Channel 4
Redesigning the E4 homepage
Working with the design agency Numiko, we designed a new homepage for E4 to accommodate a new brand launch and move the site on to a new internally built CMS system.
The main feature of the page was a timeline style widget which allowed users to see what was currently on E4, what was available to watch on 4oD and what was coming up in the future. Numiko came up with this concept and I created the final designs.
Another element of the page I redesigned once the page was live was the video carousel slice. The old slice was functionally fine but I felt using a horizontal scroll as we did with the short form player on E4 was a better design especially as the controls were close together so easier to use than the large side paddles.
With the younger audience of E4 taken into consideration and the popularity of Twitter a social slice was a main part of the new homepage. I had to come up with a few different sized versions of this slice so it was flexible enough not only to work on this page but any brand pages too. The slice was designed to fit across three, two and one columns.
The launch of the new homepage was a few weeks before E4 changed it's on-air branding and logo treatment style. One of the fun things about this job was to design a few options for the top header. Unfortunately none of these banners were used, a plain purple strip was decided on but it was still fun to design them with E4's cheeky tone of voice.

Civil rights leader the Reverend Jesse Jackson was in Leicester today as part of a UK tour to mark the 50th anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King's march on Washington.
During his visit he opened a park named in his honour, and visited Leicester Nirvana football club to plant a tree in memory of their youth coach Antoin Akpom, who died after being stabbed in the street in September.
Civil rights campaigner, Rev Jesse Jackson, has met with MP Keith Vaz in Leicester, to open a new park.
The 'Jesse Jackson Park' has been named after the leader, 50 years after Martin Luther King's 'I have a Dream' speech.
The new park and walking trail now joins Nelson Mandela Park, on Welford Road, and the Mahatma Gandhi statue, on Belgrave Road, in commemorating the lives and works of some of the key figures in the civil rights movement.
Children are waiting for the arrival of a civil rights leader at a park in Leicester, which is being renamed in his honour.
Rev Jesse Jackson is visiting the open space in Troon Way, as it is being renamed the 'Jesse Jackson Park'.
Leicester City Council has planted trees, installed new seating and created a brand new walking trail through the park that commemorates the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's famous 'I have a dream' speech.
Visitors following the trail will be able to read extracts from the speech, which King delivered at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in August 1963.
Rev Jesse Jackson has a close association with Leicester, as he received an honorary degree from De Montfort University in 2011.

Team USA will be without their hottest hitter for tonight’s second-round World Baseball Classic matchup against the Dominican Republic.
According to MLB Network, David Wright was scratched from tonight’s lineup due to a sore back. Willie Bloomquist will make the start at third base in his place and bat ninth, which is a pretty significant downgrade. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton will move up to the fifth spot in the order.
It’s a tough break for Team USA, as Wright is 7-for-16 (.438) with one home run, 10 RBI and four runs scored during the tournament. He went 2-for-5 with five RBI in a 7-1 victory over Puerto Rico on Tuesday.
UPDATE: Heidi Watney said on the MLB Network telecast that Wright was scratched for precautionary reasons, but will not be available to pinch hit tonight.
UPDATE II: According to David Lennon of New York Newsday, Wright said the injury is more on the back of his left rib cage. He will see Mets doctors on Friday in Port St. Lucie, so his status for the rest of the tournament is in doubt.

The Workforce 100 is the rank order and scores of the 100 companies that performed best in seven core areas: workplace culture, employee benefits, diversity and inclusion, employee development and talent management, human resources innovation, leadership development, and talent acquisition. The working assumption behind the list is that high performance in these core categories provides a reasonable proxy for overall HR excellence.
To create the ranking, researchers at the Human Capital Media Advisory Group, the research arm of Workforce magazine, collected available public data from a representative list of established benchmarking and ranking programs in the identified categories and partnered with Glassdoor to include data on employee satisfaction in key areas. This allowed researchers to generate a score based equally on depth and breadth of outside recognition and internal recognition.
The reason for this change in methodology was to create a ranked list that made comprehensive HR participation and employee feedback on their respective employers the primary focus rather than excellence in one core area. Using this method, organizations that are recognized on multiple lists but do not perform perfectly will be ranked higher than organizations that are ranked in one area but perform better in a single discipline. In addition, organizations that are not as heavily represented in external recognition programs are still acknowledged for their HR efforts through the posted opinions of their employees.
To generate the score, researchers first looked at how many lists with HR relevance a particular company appeared on, which makes up half of the total score (maximum of 5 points). The other half of the score (also with a maximum of 5 points) was derived from an average of the company’s Glassdoor performance in areas pertaining to HR. These scores are then added together to create the final score.

The following notes are by Mark Kasdan, co-writer and associate producer of Silverado.
Albert Camus wrote that a person’s lifework may be “nothing but a long journey to find again, by all the detours of art, the two or three powerful images on which his whole being opened for the first time.” Those images came to me in Western movies. From childhood my brother, Lawrence Kasdan, and I shared a love of those pictures. We weren’t alone. When he decided to write and direct a Western, people flocked to participate, both in front of and behind the camera. Most of them fell into one of two groups: those who had made many Westerns when many Westerns were being made, and those who were eager for their first opportunity. Nobody was cooly indifferent to the chance to shape some of those dynamic images.
It was a large but remarkably harmonious team; there was a warmth amongst us that neutralized the chill of filming straight through the winter at 7,000 feet. It may seem irrelevant to a viewer of our work, years later, that we had an unforgettably good time, but I’m convinced that our pleasure seeped into the scenes and permeated every frame.
Crystalline landscapes of snow, infinitely varied earth tones, and the celebrated light of Santa Fe, New Mexico, lent their real beauty to our imaginary world. That beauty is particularly well served in this presentation: the original wide-screen format, the inherent quality of laserdisc reproduction, and a new transfer supervised by the film’s director of photography.
Set in the 1880s, the story finds four men headed for the town of Silverado. Thrown together by their adventures on the trail—ambushes, a jail break and posse chase, a wagon train of settlers stranded by an outlaw gang—they try to go their separate ways, especially after they reach the town. But Silverado holds not safety but danger, a threat that only their combined strength can challenge. Watched by the women (and a young boy) who love them, the men confront their enemies, from a thundering gun battle in the midst of a stampede, to a hushed, face-to-face, fast-draw showdown.
In Silverado, we set out to create a West filled with a sense of potential, where an intricate plot would draw together a cast of charismatic figures. We sought at every turn to infuse those characters with the delicious humor unique to heroes of high adventure. But a surprising amount of the emotion in the story comes from family connections—whether blood relationships or the spiritual ties of loners who find themselves in allegiance. That familial emphasis is Silverado‘s special gift to audiences of all ages, but there is a general standard to measure against. To take a place in the great tradition of the genre, to approach those potent, formative images Camus wrote of, a Western must depict at least one hero who cuts a certain kind of figure. Let me explain.
Like all period films, Westerns have always had two kinds of meaning. First, they show us a little about the historical West. Whatever the oversimplifications or stereotypes of the film frontier, there is always some connection to the real frontier, a place famously significant in our national psyche. More important, the physical texture of the past is represented with an essential fidelity that delights us all. The weather, the landscapes, the horses have not been altered by the passage of a hundred years. I operated an extra tape recorder during the big scene of the wagon train crossing the Rio Grande. My job was to catch the clatter of horses’ hooves and iron-rimmed, wooden wagon wheels on river cobbles, water rushing in the background. Suddenly it came to me with a shock that while this was a re-creation of a pioneer river crossing, it was also a real river crossing, that the sounds I heard were exactly what they must have been then—none of the elements have changed.
Human nature is also unchanged, and this is the second kind of meaning, the secret of the continued popularity of films set in other times. Freed of the confusing, conflicting details of current events, we are able to see universal issues dramatized and resolved. Friendship and loyalty, honor and justice, freedom in living and courage in facing death—in Westerns, these matters are seen plainly, unobscured by the specifics in which they are wrapped in our daily lives.
Trying to understand the enduring power of these movies, I found a cogent explanation in Robert Warshow’s essay, “Movie Chronicle: The Westerner.” Warshow discerned the significance of the essential Western hero: a man who wears a gun on his hip as a sign of complete responsibility for his own life and death, a reminder of the reponsibility we all bear. Good and evil existed in the Old West, of course. But we care only because they also exist today. The Western hero is a compulsively watchable figure, timeless despite his cowboy gear. He confronts for us the choice that can be honorable or not and shows us how to comport ourselves in the extreme circumstances that frighten and fascinate us. It gives us pleasure to watch him ride fast and punch hard and, if necessary, shoot straight. But he lives on because it gives us something we need more than pleasure to watch him live gracefully and act honorably and, if necessary, die bravely.

well as Sun-weather relationships. Funding for the core program in
this area is diminishing, however, and will need greater emphasis

DoD also has extensive research activities in solar and space
physics. These activities involve both theory and ground and space
based observations (both from short term research and long term
monitoring points of view). The relevance of solar variability for
DoD research is that its effects on the Earth environment must be
properly taken into account in military operations and particularly
in communications and surveillance. A requirement for operational
models of upper atmosphere variability to track and predict
satellite trajectories, and of ionospheric variability that affects
communications, has led DoD to support, over the past decade, what
exists today of upper atmosphere research, focusing especially on
the solar influences that determine both its neutral and ion
composition. The recently implemented Strategic Environmental
Research and Development Program (SERDP) encourages use of DoD
resources for global change research. In this regard, the Defense
Meteorological Satellite Program could provide regular access to
space for solar monitoring and global change endeavors.
Because solar influence on global change is a distinctly
cross-disciplinary endeavor, cooperative research by DoD, NASA,
NSF, and NOAA is essential for mutual benefit to both the USGCRP
and the individual agencies. The research effort is hampered by the
lack of a lead agency in this area. One challenge to the U.S.
program of research into solar influences on global change is to
develop a strategy for agency leadership and coordination in
pursuing the overall national effort.

Unions (ICSU) relate to solar influences on global change. One is

Heavy impact to shoulder?

If the slice backhand hurts, use your topspin backhand, or 2hbh, or lefty forehand.
Your game is not developed, so any change is better than re hurting your shoulder.
And you might teach the old body some new tricks.
