Santa Cruz Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Things You Should Know if You are a Pedestrian Injured by an Automobile
Most of the time recoveries in a pedestrian vs. automobile negligence case would hinge on the exact duty of care owed by those involved. Both drivers and pedestrians are required to follow the laws of the road and use reasonable care. In most cases, it may seem obvious who was careless or negligent, but the courts look at a number of factors when applying the facts of each case to the elements of a negligence claim. Individuals who fail to use reasonable care in the operation of their vehicle may be required to pay damages for personal injury and property damage caused by that negligence.
Injuries involving a pedestrian and an automobile usually produce a substantially higher damage award for the injured pedestrian than auto vs. auto cases. The reason is simple. In a typical auto vs. auto accident each of you are protected by a giant metal box, your car. While you can still be seriously injured in such a case, the pedestrian has no such protection. When a pedestrian is struck by and automobile they are in the most vulnerable position imaginable. The injuries are usually substantially more serious and the settlement amounts are correspondingly higher.
A few of the most common factors contributing to driver negligence as it relates to pedestrians are as follows:
- Failure to obey traffic signs or signals
- Failure to yield the right-of-way at marked cross walks
- Failure to signal while turning
- Inattention or preoccupied driver
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs

In the grand hierarchy of animal fibers to ban—foremost of which would be fur, obviously—silk doesn’t seem to warrant as much attention. Animal-rights crusader Stella McCartney deploys silk “from traditional sources in Como, Italy,” regularly at her luxury house, so how heinous can it be?
Well, plenty heinous, if you care at all about living creatures. “Approximately 3,000 silkworms die to make every pound of silk,” Tracy Reiman, executive vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), told Sourcing Journal. “To obtain the material, distributors boil the worms alive inside their cocoons.”
Still, when Asos, Britain’s No. 1 online retailer, pledged in June to ban silk, along with mohair, cashmere, feathers, down, teeth, and bone, from its site by January 2019, not everyone was completely on board.
“They’re insects; I don’t think silkworms are going to notice,” a somewhat befuddled shopper named Thomas told the BBC after the news broke. “I think sentient animals definitely, but things like worms—it’s not going to be such a big deal is it?” Marc Bain, fashion reporter for Quartz, wondered how much pain silkworms can feel. Writing for Australian Vogue, Clare Press, its sustainability editor at large, praised silk as a beautiful, breathable fiber that she, an “animal lover who thinks very deeply about human impacts on nature,” is only happy to wear.
Then there was Orsola de Castro, co-founder of the international grassroots movement Fashion Revolution, who questioned if Asos’s new policy would do more harm than good.

Cruise ship plows into tourist boat docked in Venice
Italy's transport minister demands cruise ship ban in city canal
A towering, out-of-control cruise ship rammed into a dock and a tourist river boat on a busy Venice canal on Sunday morning, injuring four tourists and sparking new calls for placing restrictions on cruise ships in the famed but strained tourist city.
The collision happened around 8:30 a.m. local time on the Giudecca Canal, a major thoroughfare that leads to Saint Mark's Square in the northeastern Italian city.
Videos of the crash show the cruise ship, apparently unable to halt its momentum, blaring its horn as it plows into the much smaller boat, the River Countess, and the dock while people nearby run away in panic.
Italian media initially reported that at least five people were injured. Later, medical officials said four female tourists were hurt as they tried to run away on the San Basilio pier — an American, a New Zealander and two Australians between the ages of 67 and 72.
Elisabetta Pasqualin was watering plants on her terrace when she heard warning sirens and stepped out to see the crash.
"There was this huge ship in a diagonal position in the Giudecca Canal, with a tugboat near which seemed like it couldn't do anything," she said.
Watch as the cruise ship hits the pier and boat:
She described the ship "advancing slowly but inevitably toward the dock." She said "the bow of the ship crashed hard into the bank with its massive weight crushing a big piece of it. Sirens were wailing loudly; it was a very dramatic scene."
When the cruise ship rammed the river boat, she said the smaller vessel looked like it was "made of plastic or paper" rather than steel.
Call for ban on cruise ships
Shortly after the crash, a government official called for cruise ships to be banned from using the Giudecca Canal.
"Today's accident in the port of Venice proves that cruise ships shouldn't be allowed to pass down the Giudecca anymore," Danilo Toninelli, Italy's transport minister said.
"After many years of inertia, we are finally close to a solution to protect both the lagoon and tourism," he said.
Venice is a tremendously popular site for both tourists and cruise ships, especially during the summer tourist season.
The cruise ship's owner, MSC Cruises, said the ship, the MSC Opera, was about to dock at a passenger terminal in Venice when it had a mechanical problem. Two towboats guiding the cruise ship into Venice tried to stop the massive cruise ship, but they were unable to prevent it from ramming into the river boat.
MSC Cruises says it is co-operating with authorities to figure out what happened.
Tow cable broke
"The two towboats tried to stop the giant and then a tow cable broke, cut by the collision with the river boat," Davide Calderan, president of a towboat association in Venice, told the Italian news agency ANSA.
Calderan said the cruise ship's engine was locked when the captain called for help.
For many, the crash served as a wake-up call. Opponents say cruise ships are out-of-scale for Venice, cause pollution, endanger the lagoon's ecosystem and a danger to other vessels.
"Obviously, we've seen today that our worst fears have come true," said Jane Da Mosto, an environmental scientist and executive director of We Are Here Venice. Her group backs efforts to ban cruise ships from Venice.
"There were 111 people on the river cruise boat that the big ship crashed into. They could have all died," she said. She said the cruise ship could have plowed through the concrete embankment and "hit houses, monuments and crowds of people."
"The port authority, the government ministers, the other institutions have often tried to ridicule the resistance movement against the cruise ships, saying that an accident like this could never occur," she added. "The government shouldn't be so weak in giving in to the pressure of the lobby groups, like the cruise ship companies."
The collision came four days after a river cruise ship collided with a sightseeing boat carrying South Korean tourists in Hungary's capital, killing seven and leaving 21 others missing.

LAWRENCE – As promised, Charlie Weis kicked off his first fall camp at Kansas by issuing a depth chart loaded with new names.
Some of these players have yet to perform a drill under Weis’ watch. Some just arrived on campus, and some are still taking classes at various junior colleges.
Weis will see many of these players for the first time when KU opens practice Thursday, so their places on the depth chart reflect a degree of deductive reasoning.
“I’ve seen the other guys play,” Weis said.
That’s not a blanket assessment of KU’s returning talent, because veteran players occupy some prominent positions on the Jayhawk depth chart. But KU will integrate newcomers at several other spots, including:
-- Right tackle, where junior college transfer Aslam Sterling is competing with junior Riley Spencer for a starting job.
-- Defensive line, where Nebraska transfer Josh Williams is listed as a starting end and juco transfers Keon Stowers, Jordan Tavai and Ty McKinney are listed as backups.
-- Middle linebacker, where Notre Dame transfer Anthony McDonald is listed No. 1, followed by freshman Schyler Miles and last year’s starter, Darius Willis.
-- Tight end, where Notre Dame transfer Mike Ragone is the starter, with sophomore Jimmay Mundine fighting juco transfer Charles Brooks for the No. 2 spot.
Some of these positions are subject to change before KU opens its season Sept. 1, especially on the defensive side. The goal between now and then, Weis said, is to assemble a two-deep KU can trust.
“If you just play the starters on defense, you’re going to get worn out,” Weis said. “You better get into the two-deep.
“Our No. 1 goal on defense is not who the starting 11 are. Who are the first 22? Let’s get to 22.”
Some of those players may not arrive until midway through KU’s fall camp. Weis confirmed that Tavai and McKinney are still completing junior college classes but reiterated that he expects both on campus sooner rather than later.
Tavai, who can play both end and tackle, is finishing classes at El Camino (Calif.) College and should arrive within the next week, Weis said. McKinney, a tackle from Trinity Valley (Texas) Community College, is expected after that.
“They’re going nuts, because they wanted to be here for the start of camp,” Weis said. “Both of them are in good situations academically. It’s just logistically, when the class is supposed to end on July 29th and it’s ending a week later, it’s ending a week later.”
KU’s secondary is the most established of any defensive group, with veterans Greg Brown, Tyler Patmon, Lubbock Smith and Bradley McDougald slated as starters. Freshman Tevin Shaw, a converted running back, will contend for time as a backup safety, Weis said, but the starters are fairly entrenched entering camp.
“Our starting secondary should be ahead of our backup secondary,” Weis said. “They’re way more experienced.”
On offense, the most competitive battles will involved backup jobs. Michael Cummings and Turner Baty will compete at quarterback behind starter Dayne Crist, and the Jayhawks will look for a fourth and fifth receiver to emerge behind Kale Pick, Daymond Patterson and D.J. Beshears.
The exception is right tackle, where Weis has yet to identify a starter. Sterling, a transfer from Nassau (N.Y.) Community College, isn’t expected on campus until Thursday morning, but at 6-foot-5 and 360 pounds, his measurables are too tempting to ignore.
“He’s what they’re supposed to look like,” Weis said. “He might be a cheeseburger from 400 right now. He’s a big muchacho.”
After spending the past six months on the speaking circuit, Weis said he’s anxious to see how these battles unfold on the practice field. His first address to the team was planned to reflect that sentiment.
“I’ll basically tell them it’s time to quit talking,” Weis said, “and that’s me, too.”
WEIS TWEAKS STAFF
George Matsakis, KU’s longtime director of football operations, has moved to a new role as an assistant to athletic director Sheahon Zenger. Kevin Green was hired as director of football operations after serving in the same capacity with Weis at Notre Dame and spending the past two seasons as the chief financial officer of the Hannah and Friends foundation.
“It’s a great situation,” Weis said. “George gets to go over there, and I get another great liaison between me and the upper echelon.”
Weis also announced that Juney Barnett, hired in January as an assistant strength coach, left for a position with the Baltimore Ravens. Justin Springer, a former Jayhawk linebacker, was elevated to Barnett’s position.
“I like having more KU guys around,” Weis said. “He was a heck of a player and a wonderful young man who the players really respect.”
Matt Shula, the son of former Bengals coach Dave Shula and the grandson of Don Shula, also has joined Weis’ support staff as quality control assistant for recruiting.
“I figured he probably had good bloodlines,” Weis said. “I probably couldn’t mess that one up too much.”
Kyle Brey and Matt Middleton (offense) and Maurice Crum and Rod Jones (defense) will be KU’s graduate assistants this season.
CONDITIONING TEST AWAITS
KU’s camp will start Thursday with an early morning conditioning test. Weis didn’t disclose the specifics but indicated the test will focus on stamina and include 300-yard timed runs.
“Yes, there’s a penalty if they don’t pass it,” Weis said.
Weis also took an opportunity to poke fun at himself when discussing precautions KU will take in the heat, including urging plays to eat more.
“I’ve never had to be encouraged to eat in the heat before,” he said. “Maybe that’s a novel concept.
“Supposedly people don’t eat as much when it’s hot out. I didn’t get that email.”

Adweek has rolled out its inaugural Power List, ranking the 100 most influential, innovative and effective leaders controlling media, marketing and technology.
The publication considered the profiles and results of corporate titans, taking into account such criteria as the value of company assets, revenue and revenue growth, consumer reach and affinity, market performance, standing among rivals, number of employees, key acquisitions and partnerships, industry accolades and media buzz. Agency chieftains, tech titans, media execs and the CEOs of top brand marketers populate the list – and here’s the Top 10:
» 1. Larry Page, CEO, co-founder, Google
Page opened a new window into the Information Age 17 years ago when he and Sergey Brin formed Google, revolutionizing the way practically every human being accesses information. Of course, Google has grown far beyond search. It is one of the most powerful corporations on the planet – and Page, 42, is the principal architect of that success.
Google’s ubiquity is astonishing. From Android to Chromebooks, from AdWords to Maps and so much more, there’s virtually no corner of technology, media and advertising in which Google is not a player.
» 2. Tim Cook, CEO, Apple
Cook, 54, followed the legendary Steve Jobs – and he’s well on his way to becoming as big a legend. In nearly four years at the helm, Apple doubled its market capitalization, becoming the first U.S. company to hit $700 billion. Its financials routinely set records, including Q1 earnings of $18 billion, the most for any company in a single quarter ever – fueled by the latest iPhone versions and Apple Watch. Clearly, Cook has built on Jobs’ facility to fuel broad cultural trends.
» 3. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, chairman, co-founder, Facebook
Zuckerberg, 31, changed the way the planet stays connected, informed and entertained – and despite cries it is losing influence among millennials, Facebook shows no sign of losing muscle. Its market cap hovers around $220 billion– more than double its value at the time of its IPO three years ago. Zuckerberg’s focus on mobile advertising could further turbo-charge growth, while Instant Articles may well herald a sea change in digital content. Eleven years after Facebook’s launch, the company remains the embodiment of instantaneous communication and sharing on a global scale, making the world a much less lonely place for a billion of us.
» 4. Robert Iger, CEO, chairman, The Walt Disney Co. (includes ABC, ESPN, Disney theme parks)
The force is with Iger, 64, who is credited with revitalizing and expanding Disney’s empire in his decade at the helm through a mix of people skills (he can mend fences), strategic genius (aggressive, diversified merchandising to enhance films’ profitability) and savvy acquisitions including Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm. Under Iger, Disney’s market cap has more than doubled to $185 billion — making it no surprise that the company extended his contract through 2018.
» 5. A.G. Lafley, CEO, president, chairman, Procter & Gamble
Lafley, 67, is an innovative thinker and creative marketer who gives brands at the world’s largest advertiser leeway to forge sharper images while staying true to the middle-American ethos the company’s come to represent. Currently, he has cost cutting on his mind, and plans to divest numerous brands in order to focus on big sellers like Tide, Crest, Gillette and Always (whose “Like a Girl” campaign last year swept social media and the industry, winning the PR Grand Clio Award) while simultaneously trimming marketing costs (U.S. media chores just went into review).
» 6. Rupert Murdoch, CEO, chairman, 21st Century Fox; executive chairman, News Corp.
After six decades in the business, this old-school media titan is not just a legend but also still very much a maverick. Even with his company’s already considerable influence on the business (Michael Wolff’s biography of Murdoch was titled The Man Who Owns the News), Murdoch, 84, remains intent on growing his empire, even though last year’s $80 billion bid for Time Warner fizzled.
Twenty-first Century Fox includes Fox film studio and television network, Star TV and Sky. News Corp. includes Dow Jones, the New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal.
» 7. Martin Sorrell, CEO, WPP Group
Despite an 8 percent Q1 revenue spike, Sorrell warned of a “demanding year” ahead for adland’s largest holding company, with no Olympics or World Cup to fuel growth across its properties, which include Grey, JWT, Ogilvy & Mather and Y&R. The outspoken Sorrell, 70, tweaked rivals Omnicom and Publicis when their proposed merger collapsed – and he’s established himself as a particularly droll and perceptive pundit on matters of marketing and media. When Sorrell speaks, we all listen.
» 8. Brian Roberts, CEO, chairman, Comcast (includes NBCUniversal, Universal Studios, MSNBC, Telemundo)
Roberts, 55, invested a hefty $336 million on a failed attempt to add Time Warner Cable to the Comcast fold, a quest he finally abandoned in April owing to government opposition. On the plus side, he’s strengthened operations at both the NBC television network (the broadcast leader among adults 18-49) and its cable operations, while the company’s just-wrapped upfront presentations were a huge hit — with 168 of the planet’s biggest stars (Dolly Parton! The Kardashians!) making the trek to New York to woo advertisers. In fact, NBCU contributed $25.4 billion in revenue last year to the Comcast bottom line, a 7.5 percent year-over-year gain.
» 9. Indra Nooyi, CEO, chairman, PepsiCo
She shoots – she scores! PepsiCo recently unseated the Coca-Cola Co. as the official food and beverage partner of the NBA. That gives Nooyi, 59, control of beverage rights across all four major U.S. pro leagues, reflecting her desire to “redefine the meaning of sports marketing partnerships.” Pepsi also sponsors the Super Bowl halftime show — and the NBA play should resonate with millennial consumers as the company leverages the relationship across Doritos, Ruffles and Mountain Dew. Meanwhile, Gatorade was selected to receive the Clio Sports Grand Icon Award this year.
» 10. Jeff Bezos, CEO, chairman, president, founder, Amazon.com
Running the mightiest American e-commerce company, Bezos, 51, sits at the intersection of content, commerce and technology, with Amazon playing an outsized role in shaping tastes and defining popular culture. Bezos’ ambitions are sky-high – literally – as he proposes Amazon deliveries from drones, an idea that’s being scrutinized by federal regulators. His more terrestrial interests had him buying The Washington Post in 2013 for $250 million, with old media hands speculating (praying?) that other icons of print media may find their ultimate savior in billionaire white knights.
Red Mic | FIFA gets red card, black eye for corruption
The world’s most popular sport was plunged into turmoil last week as seven senior soccer officials were arrested on U.S. corruption charges and faced extradition from Switzerland, whose authorities also announced a criminal investigation into the awarding of the next two World Cups.
The arrests mark an unprecedented blow against soccer’s governing body FIFA, which for years has been dogged by allegations of corruption but always escaped major criminal cases. This certainly deflates the image and reputation for the most popular sport in the land, and for that, FIFA gets a Red Card Mic!
Each week, The Spin Cycle will bestow a Golden Mic Award to the person, group or company in the court of public opinion that best exemplifies the tenets of solid PR, marketing and advertising – and those who don’t. Stay tuned – and step-up to the mic! And remember … Amplify Your Brand!
Todd Smith is president and chief communications officer of Deane, Smith & Partners, a full-service branding, PR, marketing and advertising firm with offices in Jackson. The firm — based in Nashville, Tenn. — is also affiliated with Mad Genius. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.org, and follow him @spinsurgeon.

I’m in a pretty big mind funk lately about running. I’m out of practice, out of running shape, and just having a hard time putting on my running gear and getting myself out there. I don’t belong to any running clubs in Alaska because I’m slow and don’t want to be made fun of. I still can’t run more than 2 miles without my legs saying – no effing way. And let’s be honest here for a moment – I no longer have any kind of endurance like I once did. I am a Hot Mess when it comes to running and training anymore. Funny, I named my home workout area Hot Mess Training on Instagram. 🙂
So these Hot Mess socks are Oh, SO Appropriate!
I was looking through the socks that The Sox Box sent me trying to find the right pair to put on to get my ass back into training. I have Run Faster which isn’t gonna happen at this moment in time. I do have these Fighter socks, which could work. Sigh. I wish my calf was that small – I have huge calves and the letters don’t look nearly as pretty.
So if you were me, what would you choose? If they had one that said Beer & Bacon, it would be a no brainer (brilliant idea, though!). Help me choose! Let me know in the comments. One lucky reader will get a pair of their own so we can be twinsies. :)-

If you are interested in starting a business in Costa Rica, or are already active in this highly-developed Central American economy, complying with local employment law will be crucial to your business running smoothly and maintaining your company’s good standing with local authorities.
Employment law in Costa Rica is overseen by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, and although Costa Rican employment regulations are similar in many ways to those found in other countries in the region, there are also notable particularities to take into account.
If you only need a local representative or executive, or are looking to hire a team on a short term basis, you may find that working with a professional employer organization (PEO) in Costa Rica is your ideal choice.
Because a PEO in Costa Rica will hire staff for you via their locally incorporated entity, allowing you to enter the market in only the time it takes to find and hire the right staff, while also avoiding company formation and liquidation.
For those who already have the staff they want to employ lined up, getting to work only takes as long as the visa application processed – if they are not local nationals or residents – while the PEO firm will guarantee compliance with local labor and employment law as part of the service agreement, eliminating a compliance issue.
Below, an overview of Costa Rican employment law is offered, including statutory working hours, commonly used types of contracts, information related to terminations and severance, leave and other absences, and the tax contributions that employers must manage.
A free infographic covering these key aspects of employment law in Costa Rica is also included, which can be downloaded for free.
If you need professional services and support in Costa Rica, contact us today to find out more about how we can help.
Table of Contents
Employment law in Costa Rica: working hours
The maximum working week in Costa Rica is 48 hours long, which is based on a daytime worker working six shifts of eight hours. Daytime workers are those whose hours fall between 05:00 and 19:00 on a given day. For nighttime workers, whose hours run between 19:00 and 05:00 the following day, a shift should be no longer than six hours long.
Certain employees – including the likes of management, legal representatives, and employees who are working without direct supervision – can work longer than the eight-hour daytime maximum, however they should not work longer than 12 hours per day.
Note that, there are generally between eight and nine public holidays that fall on weekdays, as well as three holidays for government employees observed in Costa Rica each year.
Labor contracts under employment law in Costa Rica
There are two main types of labor contracts used under employment law in Costa Rica:
Regular employment agreement:
A regular employment agreement is the standard type of contract under employment law in Costa Rica. Such a contract has an indefinite duration and only ends when the employer and employee mutually agree, or when one of the parties has the right to end the agreement unilaterally. Examples of such circumstances include an employee resigning from their role, or an employer terminating the contract of an employee found guilty of misconduct.
Temporary employment agreement:
The alternative to a regular employment agreement is a temporary employment agreement, which is established for a limited period of time and only under circumstances that require such an agreement. That includes the likes of seasonal work or replacement of an employee on an extended absence – such as maternity leave. A temporary employment agreement cannot last longer than one year, and should it be extended beyond that period, it is automatically recognized as a regular agreement under Costa Rican employment law.
Termination & severance
Under employment law in Costa Rica, employees must provide advanced notice of their intention to vacate a role based on their length of service. That notice period is established as follows:
- Three to six months of service: one week of notice
- Six to 12 months of service: two weeks of notice
- More than one year of service: one month of notice
Should the employer wish to terminate an employee’s contract unilaterally and without just cause, the employee will be entitled to:
- Any outstanding salary
- Compensation for unused vacations
- A proportion of their annual bonus (thirteenth salary) based on how much of the year they have worked
- A severance payment of around 20 days pay per year of service
Note that termination without compensation can only happen if an employee is be found guilty of misconduct, as laid out in Article 81 of the Costa Rican Labor Code.
Vacations, leave, & other absences under Costa Rican employment law
Under employment law in Costa Rica, an employee is entitled to two weeks of paid leave after the completion of 50 consecutive weeks of service – meaning that, unlike in many jurisdictions, the statutory vacation allowance is included within the first year of service.
Maternity and paternity leave:
Costa Rican employment law provides new months with four months of maternity leave, beginning one month before a doctor-confirmed due date. However, this can be extended under the recommendations of a registered medical professional. During maternity leave, 50% of the employee’s salary is covered by Costa Rica’s social security fund. There is no statutory paternity leave under Costa Rican law.
The length of a period of sick leave is determined by Costa Rica’s social security fund, based on the employee’s condition. That fund will cover 50% of the employees salary during their first three days of absence, with the employer obliged to cover the rest. From the fourth day of absence onwards, the social security fund will cover 60% of the employee’s salary, with the employer under no legal obligation to cover the shortfall.
Under employment law in Costa Rica, there is no stipulation with regard to bereavement leave, which must be negotiated and agreed between the employee and employer.
Employment law in Costa Rica: tax contributions the employer must oversee
Under Costa Rican employment law, the employer must oversee the following deductions from employee salaries, as well as make the following contributions based on those salaries:
In total, the employer is responsible for deducting 10.5% of an employee’s salary, made up of:
- 5.5% towards the social security fund
- 4% towards the state pension fund
- 1% towards Banco Popular, a body that promotes economic development
Employer contributions total the equivalent of 26.5% of an employee’s salary, made up of:
- 9.25% towards the social security fund
- 5.25% towards the state pension fund
- 12% divided among various funds including Banco Popular and supplementary pension contributions

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 10, 2013
Tollfreenumber.ORG released information about toll free numbers in the from of new statistics from the TollfreeNumber.ORG website today. They have also released an accompanying article entitled Why Get a Toll-free Number.
Tollfreenumber.ORG has been a major player in the toll free number industry for over a decade, and is stating that 800 number supplies have actually reached an all time low, but that their value as a business tool has reached an all time high.
“Many people mistakenly believe that toll free number supplies are abundant, and that there isn't any hurry to secure a toll free number,” says Logan Marshall, “However, this couldn't be further from the truth as the stocks of 800 numbers are dwindling, and just a small fraction of them actually remain. Therefore, many are having to choose an alternative number when registering, as their first choice has already been taken. If you want the most benefit from your toll free number it's wise to select one as soon as possible so that you can choose a number that best fits your business and suits your needs.”

zztp. Duvets. July 14th , 2018.
Buying the Right Duvet. Selecting a duvet is not always as easy as there are so many options present nowadays. A duvet`s chief aim is to maintain the body`s heat irrespective of the atmospheric temperature. The large range of duvet covers now available in the markets can make it difficult for you to decide on one. so certain facts must be kept in mind before you choose the right one.The perfect organic duvet should preserve warmth and defend a person from the external disparity in temperature to ensure him/her comfortable sleep.
Whatever you do. keep in mind that the benefits of purchasing a duvet are extraordinary. And the best part is that they are low maintenance. provide great quality. and last for a long time when taken care of properly through regular washing and cleaning.
If you are asthmatic or allergy-prone another option you could go for is silk duvet covers. Silk is a natural fibre and soothes the user into a blissful sleep. Though it could cost a little more than the regular cover. it gives an incomparable lavish look to your duvet. It is a good investment considering the anti-allergen effect it gives while also serving all seasons by staying warm in the winters and cool in the summers.
So what about when you are using a duvet? Well. that is where duvet covers come in. Essentially. a duvet cover would take the place of a set of sheets. because the duvet cover can be taken off the and washed as you would a set of sheets. It certainly seems that this would simplify the bed making process. since you would be replacing your top sheet. blanket and comforter with a simple duvet. You need only throw the duvet over the bottom sheet and you are done. Or. if you go the old fashioned way. you would have a duvet on the bottom and a duvet on the top. kind of like a sleeping bag with no zippers.
When caring for a natural duvet. it`s suggested that you get the duvet dry cleaned. Although there are duvets that recommend being washed in washing machines. it`s best to dry clean the duvet if it`s made of natural fibres. Natural fibres include cotton. goose down or goose fluff. fur. and duck feathers. The filling in a duvet can become hard and rough if it`s not correctly cleaned.

Date of this Version
Livestock operations located near private dwellings (including farmsteads) are often the subject of nuisance lawsuits because of the odor and flies generated. For many years the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that a feedlot was legally not a nuisance as long as it was properly maintained, regardless of the feedlot’s effect on neighbors. Beginning in 1975, however, the Court changed its position, ruling that feedlots could legally constitute a nuisance even if they were maintained with due care. If the feedlot is a nuisance, the operator could be required by the court:
1. to pay money damages to the neighbor,
2. to control the nuisance, or
3. to discontinue the feedlot.

If Google has used the beginning of articles as summaries should writer adjust in future articles?
Since new profile page. Google has done this on my new hubs. I wonder if the changes on site have caused problems.
If you write a summary, which you can do on the lower right of the Edit page, the first 150 characters should show up as the summary under Google search. If you have an example of this not happening, best to report it in the Forum for bugs.

I'm guessing it's because school started this week, but today my page views have taken a drastic drop. They have been cut by more than half...is this happening to anybody else?

Is this common? On the Google results page, just under the title of my hub, Goodle is using the first sentence of the hub instead of the summary. (Yes, the summary is there on the hub, I checked.) Are summaries just wishful thinking on my part? Is this just more of Google playing hard to get and...

Please do something to the filters so that Hub summaries as graphically-cluttered as the below can be found. This can't be helping.

Never underestimate the power of a little conversation.
The Write-a-Thon grew its roots in 2015, during a little conversation between my school district’s (Robbinsville, New Jersey) Superintendent, Dr. Steven Mayer and myself.
The crux of the conversation was, “How can we teach teenagers to see writing as an exercise in self-discovery and authenticity not just a forced activity aligned with the harbingers of school?”
So we talked. We listened. We brainstormed.
And 3 months later the first Write-a-Thon was held in my classroom., a 2-hour writing event that afforded students the opportunity to write, to tell their story.
The event hosted 13 writers including Dr. Mayer and received donations and support from my student’s parents, faculty and my own friends and family.
When concluded, the Write-a-Thon raised $1,300 for the Special Olympics of New Jersey.
The May event was held in his honor.
An event that began with me, fighting tears, recounting our little brainstorming session and how though he is physically gone, his story, his passion is alive and well.
The heart of the Write-a-Thon is simple–show up and tell your story.
This week, the fourth installment of the Write-a-Thon had 30 student writers, ranging from 7th to 12th grade. The event hosted a $500 college scholarship essay challenge and was filmed by the Emmy winning “Classroom Close-up NJ” and will be featured in October 2017 episode.
My experience as both a high school teacher and an adult has taught me that, in the contentious transition between young adulthood and adulthood, it’s easy to get distracted with the noise of the world.
It’s easy to forget about the importance and power of your voice, of your story.
It’s easy to believe your story doesn’t matter.
It’s easy to believe fiction.
The Write-a-Thon is a celebration of the human voice. Of the lasting power of the true human story.
And it’s our stories that stand before us, that become the permanent teachers, forever instructing the lives of the living.
The 2017 Write-a-Thon received tremendous support from the following Robbinsville High School programs:
The Debate Club
Coach Patterson and the Robbinsville Football Program
Robbinsville Boys Lacrosse
The Drama Club
The RHS Literary Magazine
The RHS Class of 2019

A photograph claiming to show the 'real face' of Jawaharlal Nehru is photoshopped, ironically. The fake photo accompanied by Hindi text was featured in websites such as indiatimes (2014) and APHerald (2016) in the past.
While indiatimes cropped the text out of the image, AP Herald included it, which begs the question why someone publishing the photo did not stop to question its authenticity. The Hindi text roughly translates as 'So much lust in those eyes that even a dog would be embarrassed. In the fight for independence there's a limit to being a rascal'.
(Source: AP Herald's 2016 photo https://www.apherald.com/Movies/ViewGalleryPage/133961/Unseen-Nehru-Rare-images/32)
(Source: indiatimes's 2014 story - https://www.indiatimes.com/culture/who-we-are/the-real-face-of-nehru-285828-7.html)
BOOM found a post dating back to 2010 where the photoshopped picture with the addition of Nehru appeared though it is not clear how old the fake is. Moreover, several blogs have debunked the image in the past yet the fake photo refuses to die on social media and WhatsApp. (See here, here and here)
We used the reverse image search feature to trace the original photo and found the exact same image which did not include Nehru.
The original photo appears on a number of WordPress sites and other blogs in posts about vintage photos of 'Chorus Girls'
(Image courtesy https://guardache.wordpress.com)
Chorus Girls was a theatrical musical in the United States that drew inspiration from dance forms such as burlesque and ballet. (Read more about it here - Ziegfeld Girl: Image and Icon in Culture and Cinema)
Jawaharlal Nehru has been favourite target for fake news with several invented stories, quotes, incidents and photoshopped pictures claiming to provide an accurate account of his life and role in India's struggle for independence. There are several candid and genuine photos of Nehru with members of the opposite sex but this particular image is fake.

LOS ANGELES -- A line drive to end a critical ballgame snared by a first baseman who had just been moved across the infield an inning earlier in a quadruple switch. In the Magical Mystery Tour that is Major League Baseball, when you're hot, you're hot, and when you're not, you're not. It was Nomar Garciaparra who made the diving play, reaching across his body on a shot off the bat of Diamondbacks left fielder Conor Jackson that could have scored both baserunners to tie the game. "That's certainly luck," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said after the 5-3 victory Sunday at Dodger Stadium. "Again, James [Loney] could have caught the ball, too, because his glove is on the other [right] hand, and he's closer to it. But I don't want to redo that."
The Diamondbacks probably would like to redo the last nine days. After defeating the Dodgers in Phoenix on Aug. 29, they led the National League West by 4 1/2 games. The 73-70 Dodgers have won eight in a row since then -- including a three-game sweep of the D-backs -- to pick up six games in the standings. They lead the 71-71 Diamondbacks by 1 1/2 games and the defending NL champion Rockies by 6 1/2 with exactly three weeks left to play. The Dodgers and D-backs are now finished head-to-head for the 2008 regular season, with the Dodgers holding a 10-8 edge. Los Angeles won the last five in a row over Arizona by a combined score of 33-8. "You can say bounces haven't gone our way and they had a few jam-shot hits," said D-backs manager Bob Melvin about a team that came into the series with a 1 1/2-game lead. "But when you're going good, those things don't happen. That's baseball. You try not to think about it, but you can't help noticing it sometimes. There are no excuses. They outplayed us." With 19 games to play, the Dodgers have the far easier schedule, considering they face the last-place Padres six more times, including a three-game set beginning on Monday night at PETCO Park. They also have three games next weekend at Colorado, followed by four at Pittsburgh. Their last 10 days of the season looks like this: hosting the Giants for three and the Padres for three, followed by a three-game series at San Francisco. It's the first time all season the Dodgers have spent two days in a row alone in first, and Torre said that's a good place to be. "Now you control your own destiny," Torre said. "If you win enough games, then you're going to stay in first place. You don't need to look around for help. You don't need to look at the scoreboard. If you win your share you're going to finish in first place. What that share is you don't know. And if you don't win, there's nobody to blame but yourself." The D-backs have 20 games left -- six of them against the Rockies and seven against the Giants. They open a three-gamer on Monday night at AT&T Park and after their last off-day on Thursday, play on each of the final 17 days of the season. Beginning on Friday, they're home for three games against the Reds and then four more against the Giants. Their last 10 days look like this: three at Denver, four at St. Louis and a season-closing three-game set at Chase Field against the Rockies. The D-backs are on a downhill slide, having lost 10 of their last 13, and Melvin, whose pregame meeting went for naught on Sunday, has to find a way to staunch the bleeding. Until Saturday, the D-backs had spent every day since April 6 in first place. "We just have to keep playing, got to keep playing," Melvin said. "We did show some resolve today, which was a lot better than the first two games. I think we just keep playing hard. When it's all said and done, you total 'em up and you see where you're at in the standings. But every game is a must game for us from here on in. That's the way you have to look at it." Whether the 67-77 Rockies can climb back into it or not, they will certainly be a factor, considering that nine of their last 18 games are against the Dodgers and D-backs. They are 2-10 against Arizona and 7-8 against Los Angeles, 3-3 at Coors Field, which Torre considers "a very tough place to play, no matter what." Last season on Sept. 15, the Rox were four games out and losers of three in a row. They won 15 of their last 16 games, including a one-game playoff for the NL Wild Card spot over the Padres to make the playoffs. Only the inconsistent play of the division leaders has kept them close this year, but Rockies manager Clint Hurdle certainly isn't ready to cash it in. As 2007 proved, he has good reason. The big difference this year is that the NL Wild Card winner will not come out of the West. So it's the division title or bust. "We are still battling," Hurdle said on Sunday. "This is good for everybody involved, for focus, for experience. I hate to use the word gut check, because everybody's bringing what they can every day. But as far as dealing with the challenge and not getting overcome by the moment, there's nothing like this type of experience -- to be tested by fire -- to make you better in the long run." The Dodgers have certainly been tested. They were on an eight-game losing streak after that 9-3 loss at Arizona nine days ago, a game in which Garciaparra, playing shortstop, made two critical errors. That night, second baseman Jeff Kent came out with a sore knee. He later went on the disabled list and had surgery. The next day, Torre benched Garciaparra. "I think we just bottomed out," Torre said. The Dodgers have now negated the eight-game losing streak and have done it with journeyman Angel Berroa at short and rookie Blake DeWitt at second. It wasn't by design, but because of the wear and tear suffered by Garciaparra and Kent, the middle of the infield has been much more mobile. Kent may be back before the regular season ends. And Garciaparra, who was sent into the game at third base on Sunday in the seventh and moved to first in the eighth, is obviously still capable of making the key play when occasionally spotted. "I took Nomar out because it just looked like we had pushed him a little too far," Torre said. "He was needing some time off. We slid Berroa in there, and he solidified our defense. We were a little reluctant to commit to DeWitt [at second base] because he didn't look very comfortable. We didn't want to fire him out there in a pennant race, and all of a sudden, we had to. We got lucky." Melvin is hoping that a little bit of that luck changes hands. On Sunday, the game seemed over with Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton in command, two men out in the ninth and nobody on base. A double and a walk later, the Diamondbacks were thwarted by Garciaparra and the hand of the baseball gods. But there are three weeks to go. There's plenty of time for the momentum to switch again, and even once again after that. "There's no question about it," Melvin said. "Look at how quickly it turned around for [the Dodgers]. All it takes sometimes is one game, one game to get some confidence and enthusiasm back."

Crude MCHM, also known as 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, is the chemical that leaked into the Elk River in West Virginia and led to a nine-county water ban and a state of emergency being put in place. Some 300,000 people were left without water for days and, now, lawsuits are mounting. Area residents and business owners are becoming nervous about the licorice-smelling chemical that is a coal cleaner and frothing agent.
This week, reports were received about water being distributed to residents who had been under the water ban, and that the water smelled like licorice, an aroma consistent with Crude MCHM. Bulk tankers were pulled from service in Kanawha County by West Virginia American Water, according to WVGazette.com/The Charleston Gazette, after the firm was advised of this new water issue. Crude MCHM leaked from a damaged Freedom Industries storage tank into the Elk River.
Kanawha County Manager, Jennifer Sayre, said reports were coming in late yesterday afternoon about the licorice smell coming from water supplies being handed out at the Crossings Mall in Elkview and at the Riverside High School. “We were getting conflicting information as to where [those tankers] were filled,” Sayre said. “We wanted to clear that up.” County officials were told that the tankers were filled with water located “off site, out of Charleston,” she said, according to WVGazette.com/The Charleston Gazette; however, after a second conversation with West Virginia American Water officials, they were advised to take the tankers out of circulation.
Laura Jordan, a water company spokeswoman said that the takers were filled with water that is located near the plant, but only after the water tested with a zero level of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, according to WVGazette.com/The Charleston Gazette. “But to avoid any concerns … just to reassure our customers, we’re filling up the tankers from another system.” The concerns about which Jordan was referring involves a January 15th U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation that pregnant women should not drink the water. This has made people even more anxious, said Jordan. “We understand that people are a little sensitive, especially with that…. We don’t want to add to it,” she said, according to WVGazette.com/The Charleston Gazette.
Little, if anything is known about the longer-term risks and potentially life-long side effects associated with exposure to 4-methylcyclohexane methanol. People may experience nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headaches, diarrhea, red or irritated skin, itching, rash, eye irritation, irritation of the nose and throat, and drowsiness with short-term exposure; however, only minimal testing has been conducted on 4-methylcyclohexane methanol. No human testing has been conducted on the chemical; however, animal testing revealed that the chemical may lead to unconsciousness and caused one rat to die. The CDC indicates that 4-methylcyclohexane methanol affects the eyes, skin, and central nervous and respiratory systems.
State government and water company officials said they are looking to the CDC for guidance. The CDC has recently indicated that 1 part per million (ppm) of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol is considered a “safe” level in water for human exposure, WVGazette.com/The Charleston Gazette reported.
At the time the leak was discovered, West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin announced that Freedom Industries did not report the leak to the chemical hot line. Meanwhile, the chemical flowed into the West Virginia-American Water intake system, contaminating the Elk River, HuntingtonNews.net reported.
Eight class action lawsuits have been filed, to date, and Parker Waichman’s Co-Counsel in the lawsuits, Harry F. Bell Jr. of the Bell Law Firm, has pointed out that government officials should have known what was going on so close to its facility. Bell Jr. also said that a rationing order should have been put in place, intakes should have been closed until the leak was stopped, and intakes should have been re-opened once the leak was confirmed stopped. None of this was done, according to Bell Jr., who also said, “This is a real problem…. They didn’t plan appropriately for this and everything has been shut down because of it…. People deserve to know; they deserve to get answers,” The West Virginia Record reported.

The family archivest went back to graduate school today, and here I am, back to whining...I mean, blogging. I'm nearly three weeks older than I was at my last true post. What have I learned from these three weeks of experience?
Well, I'm sure you all remember reading Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique as a teenager, as did I. And I'm sure you all had her comment about housework expanding to fill the time available seared into your young brains. Well, it is so very true. And it's also true of all kinds of repetitious work, and it's true of what might be termed life work or life chores. I thought that while I wasn't blogging in the evenings these past few weeks I might use a little of my blogging time for some reading or tidying up my journal. No, what I used it for was slogging through family junk that dragged on through the day and slopped into the evening, doing some cooking so that I could have some time on a few Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to write, and tending to some end-of-the-day cleanup for another family member who was buckling under elder care. It was the middle of last week before I was able to even look at my blog reader, forget about anything more substantive. And I didn't look at it much.
I did get some writing done. I also cancelled my subscription to Publishers Marketplace because I've been going months without looking at it. I then left three of my listservs (including my beloved child_lit) to eliminate some distractions and free-up some time. I'm still on the New England Society of Children's Writers and Illustrators listserv as well as the kidlitosphere's.
I've noticed that over the last couple of months I haven't been blogging as often as I had been. I have a couple of days a week when I'm away from the house nearly all day on family business (and martial arts training), and often can't get into the office those evenings. Back before the kidlitosphere exploded on the scene and I got all hopped up about being part of a blogging community, my goal was to blog three times a week. I'm going to go back to that schedule now. That way, instead of feeling badly because I'm not blogging every day, I can feel relieved if I meet me goal and delighted if I exceed it.
I am rather good at manipulating myself.
As long as I was mentioning feminism at the beginning of this post, I thought I would stay on the subject for a moment and take the opportuntity to refer you to an essay that very nicely summarizes my feelings about the word "girl" when referring to anyone above the age of eighteen. I sent this link to a couple of young family members with whom I've discussed this issue, and I found out today that at least one of them (much to my nonsurprise) didn't read it. So I'm going to try to force it upon you guys. My favorite lines:
"In the 1970s, there was a groundswell of opinion suggesting that "girl" was a highly pejorative way of describing a female who was over 18, used to belittle her and rob her of status." Yes, damn it. That was exactly how we felt. What the hell happened to everybody? Why would anyone with an IQ want to be addressed as girl? No, girl is not the female equivalent of guy. It is the female equivalent of boy, a male child. When men are called boys, they know damn well they're being belittled and robbed of status. The "old boy network" is not a good thing. "Good ol' boys"--not positive at all.
And in discussing the acceptance of the word girl when desribing what are without doubt women, the essayist says, "The queasy worry is that in a big swath of popular culture, women are still being infantilised, and that they prefer it that way." That is totally, totally how I feel whenever I hear a woman referring to herself or others of her kind as girls. Where's their self-respect? Personally, I don't even like hearing teenage females referred to as girls. They are young women. They should be treated and referred to as such.
Oh, how I enjoyed writing those last two paragraphs.
Back in a couple of days.

Iran has awarded its biannual $500,000 Mustafa Prize to two computer science experts, an Iranian and a Turkish-French national.
The science and technology award, handed out for the second time this year, is given to Muslim researchers and scientists regardless of whether they live in Muslim-majority nations or elsewhere, as well as non-Muslim scientists in Muslim countries.
According to a statement, Iran’s vice president in charge of scientific affairs, Sourena Sattari, said on Sunday that the Turkish-French national, Sami Erol Gelenbe, and Iran’s Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, are being honoured for their achievements in systems assessment in model-making and computer coding.
Along with medals and certificates, each winner gets $500,000.
Iran first handed out the prize in 2015 to a Taiwanese-Singaporean nanotechnology researcher Jackie Y.Ying and Jordanian-American chemistry professor Omar Yaghi.

The Mucky Pup was a lovely surprise when it opened in the early 2000s and after a change of ownership (and direction), and in 2011 we can happily report that the factors that made this pub stand out from its local competition remain. Along with beers kept in good nick and a free jukebox featuring some wonderfully left-field selections (The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Can), the pool table and dart board in the back room provide good distractions. As the jukebox hints, the pub has moved in a somewhat alternative direction and the various music nights they've previously hosted have provided a wonderfully esoteric foray into the outer reaches of music. With a late licence, mixed crowd and a bijou back garden, what we said of the old pub still applies: it's the sort of boozer you want to keep just for you and your mates.

OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro are two new coming phones in the series of OnePlus Phones. They are going to release soon in 2020. Rumors were saying that OnePlus 8 will release after six months of 2020, but it is releasing early. Most of the features are the same as in the previous version fo OnePlus 7T, but there are some minor changes that we think necessary to discuss. In a recent article, we discussed how to root OnePlus 8 with many methods. In this guide, we will see how to take a screenshot on the OnePlus 8.
Before we move on, we will take a look at some of the minor changes.
How to Take a Screenshot on the OnePlus 8
There are three steps to take a screenshot on OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro.
- You have to Press and Hold the Volume down button and Power Button at the same time on your OnePlus 8 Phone.
- If your OnePlus 8 Volume is high, you can listen to the captured sound.
- With the help of the toolbar, you can share and edit the screenshot. You can see the toolbar below the screen, once Image captures.
The popup will also appear in the notification bar, and you go to the Gallery of your phone and can access the screenshot folder. Open the Image, you will see their pencil option to make an edit in the screenshot.
Another way to take a scrolling screenshot is also easy. Here is the complete procedure.
How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on the OnePlus 8
OnePlus 8, just like OnePlus 7 and 6T, provides the scrolling screenshot feature. You can take a scrolling screenshot for a long time once you stop it. It will capture the entire webpage depends on your scrolling position.
- Hold and Press the Volume down + Power Button at the same time.
- You can hear the screenshot capture sound.
- At the bottom of the screen, you will see that scrolling screenshot button in the rectangle button.
- Just press that rectangle button.
- Your Phone will automatically scroll the webpage and take the screenshot.
- Just tap on the screen where you want to stop for taking a screenshot on OnePlus 8.
Gestures Feature in OnePlus 8
OnePlus 8 also has the Screenshot Gesture feature, which will help you to take a screenshot on OnePlus 8 using the three fingers.
- Go to the settings of your OnePlus 8; find the gesture option in the settings. You can also directly search for this gesture option.
- Here you can see the three-finger screenshot gesture option.
Once you enabled this option, you can quickly swipe down the screen and can take a screenshot by swiping the three fingers on the screen.
Features of OnePlus 8
The display of the OnePlus 8 will be curve edges. The last two pro versions also have the same curved edges display. Most of the OnePlus users don’t like the curved display in the Pro series of OnePlus 8. Although they mostly focus on the flat screen because it is easy to grip and touch the Phone. But the curve display trend is now everywhere users are moving to this trend. Let’s see how it will change in the OnePlus 8.
We will update this article if found some new updates about capturing the screenshot on OnePlus 8.

Concussion Risk During Summer Sports: Extra Vigilance By Parents Required
For an increasing number of kids these days playing sports doesn’t end with the school year. If anything, the competitive intensity of the all-star, tournament, travel ball, showcases, and sports camps that fill up their summer vacations, means increased athletic exposures and increased risk of mild traumatic brain injury or concussion.
And, because summer sports are less likely to be staffed by an athletic trainer or other health care professional with specialized expertise in recognizing and treating concussion, parents need to be especially vigilant to the signs and symptoms of concussion.
Concussion, still referred to by some as a “ding” or a “bell ringer,” is no joke. Concussions can have a lasting effect on cognition (e.g. functions of the brain involving thinking, concentrating, learning, and reasoning), as well as physical, and emotional effects, such as depression.(1,2,3) They are often undiagnosed and improperly managed because many health care professionals, coaches, and school/athletic personnel have not kept abreast of the most recent identification and treatment guidelines. As a result, it is especially important for parents and athletes to stay informed.
With the guidance of athletic trainers, neuropsychologists, and physicians with specific expertise in concussions, high schools across the country are facing this public health menace head on. Concussion education and management programs are sprouting up in response to new national and international concussion guidelines(4,5,6), the enactment of concussion safety laws in all 50 states, and injury lawsuits.
A concussion is any alteration in mental state or consciousness that occurs as a result of a hit or a strong force to the head. Signs of concussion may include, but are not limited to, feeling dazed or confused, dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, sensitivity to light or sound, visual disturbance, irritability, and attention, concentration, and memory problems. One does not need to experience loss of consciousness or amnesia in order to sustain a concussion. And one does not have to hit one’s head, as a whiplash or strong rotational force can shake the delicate structures of the brain. No helmet or mouth guard can prevent concussion.
Once a concussion is sustained, an athlete may be 2.5 to 5.8 times more likely to sustain another. Youth are more vulnerable than adults, experience longer recovery and may exhibit delayed symptoms which may not be fully evident until the next day or later. This makes it especially important that a youth athlete who has sustained a blow to the head during a game or practice be carefully monitored during the first 24 to 48 hours after injury.
Youth up to the age of 21 or so are also susceptible to second impact syndrome, a rare but serious condition that results in swift death or catastrophic neurological injury when a youth sustains a second blow before his or her brain has fully healed from the first. It is essential that any youth suspected of sustaining a concussion not be allowed to continue in sports or athletic activity.
The motto should always be: “When in doubt, sit them out.” The concussed athlete should be examined by a physician to be sure that there are no serious complications, such as slow brain hemorrhaging, that might not be immediately detected. With concussion, if a CT scan is performed, it is expected to be normal, unless there is a more complicated condition.
IMMEDIATE Rest in the Acute Period key to recovery
Concussed youth athletes should be placed on immediate physical and mental rest DURING THE ACUTE PERIOD. That means AVOIDANCE OF physical exercise, computer games, texting, parties, or going to the mall with friends. During the summer, it will mean absence from camp. Because of these factors and the fact that a youth athlete’s brain is still developing and growing, some experts suggest that youth remain out of CONTACT RISK sports for three weeks or more after they are symptom free, especially if they have a history of prior concussions.
The effectiveness of rest in the acute period, and for those with difficult or prolonged recoveries or history of previous concussions, cannot be underestimated.(7,8) How long a period of cognitive and physical rest a student-athlete will need varies. Slowly introducing mild physical activity after the acute period to help athletes stay conditioned, without increasing their symptoms, and should be guided by a licensed health care professional with expertise in sports concussion. For the athlete, an athletic trainer or physical therapist can help devise a physical exertional plan. In addition, a neuropsychologist (a scientist and clinician who specializes in the assessment of brain function) can greatly assist in return to play decisions, as well as in the management of post-concussion symptoms and recommendations for academic accommodations while the youth is recovering. Once cleared from a cognitive perspective, physical exertional testing overseen by an athletic trainer or other licensed health care professional with specialized training in concussion management, should take place prior to return to play.
To assist in return to play decisions, many schools have implemented baseline concussion testing programs. This type of computerized testing documents performance on memory, reaction time, processing speed, and attention tasks. If a youth sustains a concussion, he/she can be retested to help determine when scores are back to pre-concussion levels. This type of assessment, when implemented and utilized by neurocognitive specialists,(9) can increase the accuracy in decisions about recovery, as many athletes who feel physically better may still have brains that are not fully healed. It is important that both baseline and post-concussion test results be interpreted by a health care professional trained in brain and cognitive functions and in concussion assessment. It is also important to understand that this testing is just one factor among many that help determine an athlete’s recovery.
Importantly, we know that with proper care and management, 80 to 90% of concussions resolve quickly and fully. With youth, we just need to be patient as it can take up to one month for an uncomplicated concussion to resolve.(5,6) Reassurance, patience, and a positive attitude can pave the way to a smooth recovery.

India’s over-the-top (OTT) platforms are expected to be an astounding $13 billion–$15 billion market in the next decade, thanks to increasing accessibility of streaming devices, the production of original content, and low-price subscription models. The share of regional language consumption alone is expected to cross 50% of all content consumed by 2025.
aha, a forerunner, has leveraged this demand to launch an exclusive Telugu streaming platform called aha. Today, aha is one of the fast-growing OTT platforms in India, with more than 20 million downloads.
“At Arha, we are constantly striving to offer a better experience to our customers. We recently launched aha 2.0 with a refreshed user experience that offers multiple pricing plans, language selections to stream Tamil and Telugu content, personalised recommendations, and more, to engage users on the platform,” says Himadeep Madipadiga, Vice President, Product, Customer Retention and Experience, aha (Arha Media and Broadcasting Pvt Ltd).
For aha, a key aspect of that customer experience is to offer fast service, whether by onboarding customers quickly and easily, or resolving queries efficiently - all so there is no interruption in their entertainment. To enable this, aha wanted one unified system that could bring together various functions.
“We wanted a solution that would help manage subscriptions easily, resolve cases smartly, and give us a 360-degree view of the customer,” says Ajit Thakur, CEO, aha. Such a solution, by unifying both customer and business data on one platform, would enable aha to provide timely, high-quality experiences to users.

Good, John Mason (DNB00)
GOOD, JOHN MASON (1764–1827), physician and miscellaneous writer, the second son of the Rev. Peter Good, a congregational minister at Epping, was born at Epping on 25 May 1764. His mother, a Miss Peyto, the favourite niece of the Rev. John Mason [q. v.], author of ‘Self-Knowledge,’ died in 1766. Good was well taught in a school kept by his father at Romsey, near the New Forest, and the latter's system of commonplace books was of great use to the son in after life. While at school he mastered Greek, Latin, and French, and showed unusual devotion to study. At fifteen he was apprenticed to a medical practitioner at Gosport, and during his apprenticeship he mastered Italian, reading Ariosto, Tasso, and Dante. In 1783–4 he went to London for medical study, attended the lectures of Dr. George Fordyce and others, and became an active member of the Physical Society of Guy's Hospital. In the summer of 1784, when only twenty, he settled in Sudbury, in partnership with a Mr. Deeks, who very shortly retired. Here Good married in 1785 a Miss Godfrey, who only survived six months, and in 1788 a Miss Fenn, who bore him six children, and survived him. In 1792 he lost a considerable sum of money by becoming surety for friends, and although relieved by his father-in-law, he determined to free himself from difficulty by literary work. He wrote plays, translations, poems, essays, &c., but failed for some time to sell anything. At last he gained a footing on ‘The World,’ and one of the London reviews. In 1793 he removed to London, entering into partnership with a medical man, and on 7 Nov. was admitted a member of the College of Surgeons. His new partner was jealous of him, and soon caused the business to fail. While struggling to surmount his difficulties, Good in February 1795 won a prize of twenty guineas offered by Dr. Lettsom for an essay on the ‘Diseases frequent in Workhouses, their Cure and Prevention.’ In 1794 he became an active member of the ‘General Pharmaceutic Association,’ designed to improve the education of druggists, who were then notorious for their frequent illiteracy and mistakes. At the request of some members of this society Good wrote his ‘History of Medicine, so far as it relates to the Profession of the Apothecary,’ 1795. He now gained considerable practice, and contributed to several leading periodicals, including the ‘Analytical’ and the ‘Critical’ Reviews. The latter he edited for some time. In 1797 he began to translate Lucretius into blank verse. In order to search for parallel passages, he studied successively Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and Persian; he was already acquainted with Hebrew; later he extended his acquirements to Russian, Sanscrit, Chinese, and other languages. Much of his literary work was done while he walked the streets on his rounds; even his translation of Lucretius was thus composed, a page or two at a time being elaborated, until it was ready for being written down. This work occupied the intervals of nearly six years till 1805. The notes still have considerable value from their parallel passages and quotations. From 1804 to 1812 he was much occupied, with his friend and biographer, Olinthus Gregory [q. v.], in the preparation of ‘Pantologia,’ a cyclopædia in twelve volumes, to which he furnished a great variety of articles, often supplying by return of post articles requiring much research. In 1805 he was elected F.R.S. In 1811–12 he gave three courses of lectures at the Surrey Institution, which were afterwards published in three volumes, under the title ‘The Book of Nature.’ In 1820 he devoted himself to practice exclusively as a physician, and obtained the diploma of M.D. from Marischal College, Aberdeen, and in 1822 he became a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians. In this year he published his ‘Study of Medicine’ in four volumes, which was well received and sold rapidly, but proved of no permanent value. In it he endeavoured to unite physiology with pathology and therapeutics, an attempt which was bound to fail owing to the defective state of those sciences. His enormous labours at length told on his constitution, and for some years before his death his health was bad. He died of inflammation of the bladder on 2 Jan. 1827, in his sixty-third year, at the house of his widowed daughter, Mrs. Neale, at Shepperton, Middlesex. Only one other child, a daughter, survived him. His son-in-law, the Rev. Cornelius Neale, senior wrangler in 1812, died in 1823. His grandson was Dr. J. M. Neale [q. v.]
No man could be more conscientious or industrious than Good. He had a striking power of acquiring knowledge and of arranging it in an orderly fashion. But he was without creative ability, and hence his works, while full of erudition, pleasingly though not brilliantly imparted, are not of permanent value. He was always active in works of benevolence, and had strong religious feelings. During the latter part of his residence at Sudbury he became a Socinian or unitarian, and from the time of his settling in London to 1807 he was a member of a unitarian church. In that year he withdrew, in consequence of what he considered recommendations of scepticism delivered from the pulpit, and he afterwards became a member of the established church, attaching himself to the evangelicals. In his later years he was an active supporter of the Church Missionary Society, giving the missionaries instruction in useful medical knowledge.
Good wrote: 1. ‘Maria, an Elegiac Ode,’ 1786, 4to. 2. ‘Dissertation on the Diseases of Prisons and Poorhouses,’ 1795. 3. ‘History of Medicine, so far as it relates to the Profession of the Apothecary,’ 1795, 2nd edit. 1796, with an answer to a tract entitled ‘Murepsologia,’ criticising the first edition. 4. ‘Dissertation on the best Means of employing the Poor in Parish Workhouses,’ 1798. 5. ‘The Song of Songs, or Sacred Idyls,’ translated from the Hebrew, with notes critical and explanatory, 1803; two translations, one literal, the other metrical, are given, and the book is regarded as a collection of love-songs. 6. ‘The Triumph of Britain,’ an ode, 1803. 7. ‘Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Alexander Geddes, LL.D. [q. v.] ’, 1803. 8. ‘The Nature of Things; translated from Lucretius, with the original Text and Notes, Philological and Explanatory,’ 2 vols. 4to, 1805–7. Jeffrey, in the ‘Edinburgh Review,’ x. 217–34, wrote: ‘These vast volumes are more like the work of a learned German professor than of an ungraduated Englishman. They display extensive erudition, considerable judgment, and some taste; yet they are extremely dull and uninteresting.’ This translation has since been published in Bohn's Classical Library. 9. ‘Oration before the Medical Society of London on the Structure and Physiology of Plants,’ 1808. 10. ‘Essay on Medical Technology,’ 1810 (‘Trans. Medical Society,’ 1808). This essay gained the Fothergillian medal. 11. ‘The Book of Job, literally translated, with Notes and an Introductory Dissertation,’ 1812, 8vo. 12. ‘Memoir of Rev. John Mason, prefixed to a new edition of his “Treatise on Self-Knowledge,”’ 1812. 13. ‘Pantologia,’ in conjunction with Olinthus Gregory and Newton Bosworth, 12 vols. 1802–13. Good wrote most of the medical and scientific articles, with some on philological subjects. 14. ‘A Physiological System of Nosology,’ 1817. 15. ‘The Study of Medicine,’ 4 vols. 1822, 2nd edit. 1825; two editions were afterwards edited by Samuel Cooper (1780–1848) [q. v.], 1832 and 1834. Six American editions of this work had been published up to 1835. 16. ‘The Book of Nature,’ 3 vols. 1826. This reached a third edition in England, and there were several American editions. 17. ‘Thoughts on Select Texts of Scripture,’ 1828. 18. ‘Historical Outline of the Book of Psalms,’ edited by the Rev. J. M. Neale, 1842. 19. ‘The Book of Psalms, a new Translation, with Notes,’ 1854. 20. ‘Thoughts for all Seasons,’ 1860. Good also wrote much in periodicals, besides those mentioned, contributed largely for some years to Dodsley's ‘New Annual Register,’ and was one of the editors and principal writers of ‘The Gallery of Nature and Art,’ 1821 (see Life, pp. 88, 108). He contributed the introduction and notes to Woodfall's edition of ‘Junius,’ 1812. Many of his occasional poems are contained in his ‘Life,’ and several in his ‘Thoughts for all Seasons.’ He left in manuscript, in addition to works that have been published since his death, a new translation of the ‘Book of Proverbs.’[Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Character of John Mason Good, by Olinthus Gregory, 1828; Funeral Sermon, with Notes and Appendix, by C. Jerram, 1827; Gent. Mag. (1827), xcvii. pt. i. 276–8.]

This book provides a clear and concise explanation of the central principles of international humanitarian law (or the law of armed conflict) while situating them in a broader philosophical, ethical and legal context.
The authors consider a range of wider issues relevant to international humanitarian law, including its ethical foundations, relationship to other bodies of international law and contemporary modes of enforcement. This helps to develop a richer context for understanding the law of war and a sound basis for examining the changing nature of contemporary armed conflict.
The book also discusses important recent decisions by international courts and tribunals, tracks the historical development of humanitarian principles in warfare and considers the legal position of states, individuals and non-state groups. Principles of International Humanitarian Law is an important resource for students of international humanitarian law and International law academics, as well as international humanitarian law practitioners.

Many local fire departments will open their doors this weekend as part of Recruit NY, now in its third year. The statewide initiative is designed to attract new volunteers.
Four Chautauqua County fire departments participated in the program last year, and fire officials were hoping for more participation this time around. They got their wish as departments continued to add their names to the list.
"We have a lot more interested this year," said Dan Imfeld, county deputy fire coordinator. "We're trying to make a difference in the county, and we're trying to make people aware. This is certainly one way to do it."
As of Wednesday, 31 local fire departments were participating in the effort by holding open houses with activities and volunteers to whom interested people can speak.
"We are trying to do this in a more organized way this year. The county Emergency Services Office has promoted this among the fire departments," Imfeld said.
The following fire departments will have an open house on Saturday: Bemus Point, Brocton, Cassadaga, Celoron, Chautauqua, Cherry Creek, Dewittville, East Dunkirk, Fluvanna, Gerry, Hanover, Irving, Kennedy, Lily Dale, Maple Springs, Mayville, Ripley, Sheridan, Silver Creek, Sinclairville, Stanley Hose Company, Sunset Bay and West Dunkirk.
Open houses will be held Sunday at Busti, Falconer and Forestville fire departments.
The following departments will hold open houses on both Saturday and Sunday: Ashville, Fredonia, Lakewood, Stockton and Westfield.
"The departments are all in the same boat," Imfeld said. "Because of the economy, young folks go away to school and don't come back. ... Traditionally families were involved in the fire department. Grandparents, parents and then their children used to volunteer. We are trying to reach out to others. There is a spot for everyone."
Information about local departments and the times they listed for recruitment can be found at www.recruitny.org, which is sponsored by the Firemen's Association of New York.
Imfeld also encouraged those with questions to call the Chautauqua County Office of Emergency Services at 753-4341.

Our Prototypes column introduces new vehicle concepts and presents visuals from designers who illustrate the ideas. Some of them will be extensions of existing concepts, others will be new, some will be production ready, and others really far-fetched.
If you’ve ever watched an episode of The Jetsons, you’ve probably wondered what vehicles from the future would look like. The Qualifier is an autonomous electric motorcycle concept that could bring the experience of riding to a whole new level. It’s equipped with two 30-kilowatt liquid-cooled motors and a smart gyroscopic system to keep it upright on two wheels at stoplights.
Vehicles similar in style to the Qualifier have been around for decades, most of them as prototypes. The Peraves Monotracer, for example, maintains its balance at a very low speed by using wheels that deploy on its side. An even more clever system is the one found on the C-1, designed by Lit Motors. It uses gyroscopes to keep the vehicle stable at low speeds, or balanced at stop lights. This is the kind of technology that would be used in the Qualifier.
How it works
The Qualifier’s shape is based on the SeaBreacher personal watercraft from Innespace Productions. It features a fighter-style cockpit and its looks are similar to my Arrow concept, but it’s much more aerodynamic and it can be optimized to go fast or to save fuel, whichever you prefer. The vehicle will feature a manual mode that will be thrilling to drive, and an autopilot to get you to your destination while you check your e-mail or have coffee.
What it’s used for
The Qualifier could play a role in the coming Transport Electrification projects around the world. It takes up only a quarter of a car’s parking space and it uses less than a quarter of its energy. It doesn’t make any noise, nor does it pollute. It’s not a glamorous mode of transportation, but if you want to commute to work every day in your own personal vehicle while working or relaxing, this could be an excellent alternative.
The cost of such a vehicle could be below $10,000 if mass produced. You could also remove one motor and use incremental battery packs depending on your average trip.
Each buyer could be offered the option of choosing the vehicle’s colours and graphics from a huge variety. Each Qualifier’s body would be covered with printed vinyl graphics at the factory, chosen online by the buyer.

Lloyd Kaufman, director of The Toxic Avenger and distributor of this film to this day, remarked in his autobio that Bloodsucking Freaks is possibly the most morally irredeemable film the infamous Troma Entertainment ever associated with. I have long held The Toxic Avenger's hit and run/head crushing scene as the personal barometer of offense. Every longtime exploitation film fan likes to think of themselves impervious to any context of onscreen violence, yet we all have a film in mind that does the damage as personally as the sounds of nails on a chalkboard for some people, fingers on a rubber balloon for others, and still more sounds for each individual. Bloodsucking Freaks is ripped off from Hershel Gordon Lewis' The Wizard of Gore, about a stage magician of death whose "magic" murders are real, except in Freaks the women are supplied from a secret lair in the back of the New York theater owned by the evil Sardu and his dwarf henchman Ralphus. During their non-performing hours, they torture the nameless, faceless girls in an endless procession with minor interludes into ridiculous sublots about kidnapping a ballerina and a theater critic.
The real show is the torture, as Reed's original title The Incredible Torture Show denoted before the quizzical change to BSF. Kaufman's offense at his own company's pickup distribution title became apparent ominously at first. If this nameless woman being tortured is not really part of the act, why doesn't she scream for help? Then when we first see Sardu's recreational torture games backstage, why are all the women just taking it? The script refers to his racket as "white slavery," but how many white slaves just stand around like zombies waiting to be killed after having darts thrown in their bulls-eye painted butts? In one telling scene, Ralphus runs a shipping room to other white slavers full of live shaking shaking inside cardboard boxes. When one lamely springs out, he konks her on the head and marks the package FRAGILE. Bloodsucking Freaks has perhaps the most passive female victims in movie history. If you're the kind of person who yells at slasher movie bimbos for not running fast enough or in the right direction, BSF should make your head explode.
The mostly mute and naked women are objectified in a carnivalesque manner so pure and crude I've never seen before, actually making the film an important document: this is the film to distinguish true misogyny in exploitation films, as opposed to the various balances of cheap eroticism and righteous womanhood in rape/revenge film like
Joel M. Reed might have intended to soften the blow of a movie about the novelty torture of women by making them faceless, in the sense that after awhile the cartoonish nature of constant set pieces in degradation would become anticipatory. The question of how low can things go is the same asked rhetorically by both viewers who do and do not want to find out. Low key hamball Seamus O'Brien's lead performance is a bearly passable Vincent Price imitation while Luis De Jesus simply leers at everything like a good creepy little person should do. The staging of scenes is as hokey as the setup, as if O'Brien is hosting a late night creature feature on TV while high pitched organ and calliope music screeches maniacally. The violence and gore is exactly along the creative lines of young boys with firecrackers and frogs, both gimmicky and skirting the line where cartoon violence meets real life consequences. I think this must have been where Kaufman took an interest in picking up this film. His Toxic Avenger head crush scene skirts that line for me personally and if cold blooded violence against women is your personal disturbance, Bloodsucking Freaks touches a raw nerve with the same tasteless black humor that The Toxic Avenger later tapped with verve, skill and by comparison a moral center buried somewhere.
The shoddy special effects are nonetheless consistently shocking thanks to their willingness to deliver on punchlines to every disturbing setup Reed conceives: one girl is placed in a guillotine and the draw string placed in her teeth, when she's tortured further into letting the string go, we see a fake head lopped off. When a woman's feet are sawed off, we see two painted broom handles dragged in crawling motion across a pool of blood intercut with the actress crying pitifully on her hands and knees. In a flabbergasting reversal of expectations, these fake looking effects become more real the longer we see them, which is always longer than necessary to make the point. The incessant screaming of the women helps bring you into the madness of each moment by inducing headaches. Troma's poster tagline "Join the fun! Home style brain surgery...Dental Hijinks!" actually refers to the same scene, the most protracted and sickly setpiece of the film involving a dentist who takes out "in trade" Sardu's dental bill on a woman victim. The fake head is then belabored upon so long that the scene takes on a life of it's own and you truly feel as though you're staring through some magic window into an actual deranged sadist's imagination, with comic relief.
According to an uncited claim on Wikipedia, Reed produced this film on commission from backers in the New York S&M market. Even if this is true, it's impossible to believe they could've wanted anything so simultaneously sadistic, disgusting and goofball.

It's been a fairly long time (over 5 months) since I posted anything to the blog. A whole host of factors conspired to make it lower on the priority scale. That being said, I've still been following the tech route. I'm still involved in social media. More than ever before, I know that these things changed business fundamentally with their arrival. I understand that I have to participate to remain relevant. What I don't want to do is sound like I'm complaining too much. My first world problems pale in comparison to 90% of the rest of the world, and I feel no compunction to use the internet as a whining room.
I've been blessed with a great business opportunity, a great family and a chance to do something I love in a way that I want to do it. There's been adversity, which often spawns writing, but there hasn't been a great deal to promote the kind of writing I think matters.
Over a year ago when we began planning this endeavor into Direct Medicine (Concierge, Flat Fee), we decided to accept Medicare for the first year, as a service to those patients who were unsure if they wanted to commit to a $75 monthly fee alongside their Medicare. Forms were filled out and submitted. Phone calls were made. 5 Months Later, we still have no Medicare provider numbers for ourselves or the company. The government bureaucracy, in its infinite wisdom, provided us with 6 different answers to the same question, none of which appears to be the correct one.
We no longer plan on accepting Medicare.
In an era when physicians can receive jail time for Medicare fraud, we agreed that the need to accept Medicare was far outweighed by our fear of making an ignorant mistake and winding up with fines or imprisoned. If this many errors occurred with only the application, how can we be sure that the same errors or worse won't happen with the claims process.
An interesting phenomenon has arisen from our decision. Our Medicare bearing patients have decided to stick with us and pay the fee. They seem to prefer it. It's simpler, more direct and they know exactly what their primary care costs.
It's a symptom of a system with big problems. Insurance, meant to help those who couldn't afford the high costs of advanced medical procedures, has become the healthcare equivalent of the lottery. You pay into it, hoping to never use it, and when you need it, the returns on investment don't cover the first 20% or more. As is true with the lottery, health insurance has become a tax on people bad at math.

Fossil poo shows that dogs with a ferocious bite roamed North America 5 million years ago, crushing the skeletons of their prey in massive, muscular jaws.
Scientists have long suspected from its anatomy that the ancient dog known as Borophagus parvus dined on bones. This theory has been confirmed by Xiaoming Wang at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in California and his colleagues, who analysed 14 coprolites — fossilized faeces — from a Californian site that also included B. parvus fossils.
In the coprolites, the researchers identified chunks of bone from deer-like mammals that may have weighed as much as 100 kilograms. The team estimates that the dogs weighed roughly 25 kilograms, the same as a small Dalmatian.
The contrast between the dogs’ size and that of their prey suggests that the hounds hunted in cooperative packs.

The pattern is for a 18.5" x 18.5" block. The pattern has lots of sections and lots of small pieces but there are no complicated seams (such as y-seams). Paper piecing instructions are not included but there are many great tutorials that are available online. Each section is clearly labeled and a 1/4" seam allowance has been added to each section. All you need to do is print it out and get started! I advise setting your printer to "Actual size". You may sell items made from this pattern on a small scale but please include "Pattern by Sewing With Squeak" in the description.

July 31 2014 Latest news:
By shaun lowthorpe Business editor
Saturday, September 22, 2012
When Mike Palmer quit his job to go into business for himself at the start of the 1980s, he had just £3 in his pocket and an empty workshop on Music House Lane, in Norwich to set up his new auto electrical business.
But 35 years later, he has watched his company P&P Auto Electrical grow into one of the region’s leading auto-electrical firms with a turnover of £750,000.
Now based at Roundtree Way, the business, which has employs eight staff, including three engineers who have each worked for the firm for more than 27 years, has evolved from a company specialising in auto electricals into one whose focus is on supplying tracking equipment for fleet vehicles, as well as vans, trucks and coaches. And in a new move, it has just clinched a deal to supply and fit vehicle-racking systems for German-owned manufacturer Bott.
Mr Palmer, who turned 60 on September 2, said it was an ability to adapt the business which had helped it thrive over the year years.
“We still do auto-electrical work, that’s still a big part of our business,” he said. “We got into that at the right time and it was a natural progression for us. There is a huge market there.
“In the future I think it’s going to be 90pc tracking devices and fleet management, and 10pc auto electrical, whereas traditionally it used to be the other way around.
“More fleet operators have got to get the cost of fuel down somehow and it’s not going to be at the pump. That’s the crux of it. We can put a device in which can give the driver an indication if he is over revving or harsh accelerating, or harsh breaking. It can send a signal back to the operators who can put it into a league table to see who the best performing driver is. We can also give the operators live fuel readings via a PC.
“We have kept up with technology and that’s why we survived,” he added. “We have not become a dinosaur. We are the leaders in our field in Norfolk and I can see things getting better. I was an apprentice electrician years ago and after then ran a workshop for Lucas in Norwich. During that time I was offered a site in Music House Lane, just off Rouen Road. I only had one customer and about £3 but I quickly built the business up.
“The economy is flat, there’s no doubt about it, but we had the worst of it in the recession in 1989 when we were three weeks from shutting. The bank said we had two choices, we could go, or if we stayed we would have to halve our salaries and get rid of our company cars., which we did.
“We’re never going to make a fortune, but I’m here from seven in the morning until six at night.” he said. “Our customers trust us, and there is nothing better than word of mouth.”
A father and son who joined forces to set up their own business are hoping to push the boundaries as their company goes from strength to strength.

A 21-year-old was left fighting for her life after a sore throat she thought was just tonsillitis developed into a deadly disorder - leaving her unable to walk or talk.
Emily McDonald visited her doctor feeling rundown in February last year.
A month later the right side of her face had dropped and she was in hospital unable to move.
After initially being diagnosed with tonsillitis, pub landlady Emily took a turn for the worse and was told she had glandular fever and told to get plenty of bed rest.
However, after experiencing 'unusually painful' pins and needles in her hands and feet, Emily went back to see doctors on March 6.
Doctors told her there was nothing wrong - but just three days later Emily had to be rushed to Doncaster Hospital by her parents in the middle of the night after her symptoms worsened and she could not move her body and the right side of her face dropped.
She said: "I felt really unwell and run down due to the glandular fever, but then one night I had really painful pins and needles that I knew something wrong.
"I felt weird and numb before I went to bed on my right side, but I just put it down to my body feeling so run down with the Glandular Fever.
"It was only when I needed a wee in the middle of the night and my body literally would not move that I started to panic.
"I shouted my mum and dad who rushed to my room and saw the right side of my face had dropped and they immediately took me back to the hospital."
Once at the hospital, Emily and her family had to endure agonising ten-hour wait in A&E on a stretcher as doctors carried out more routine tests.
Despite Emily being unable to walk and struggling to talk due to her mouth dropping, she was told she would not need to be hospitalised.
Fortunately for Emily, her mother pushed back and insisted that she was seen by a specialist neurological doctor and she was transferred Sheffield Hospital, South Yorks, in an ambulance.
Here, Emily was diagnosed with Guillain-Barr syndrome (GBS), a rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system.
Within two days Emily's lung had deflated and she couldn't breathe on her own, needing to be on a life support machine in ICU.
Emily said: "I was so scared, I couldn't really hear what was happening and my vision was blurry.
"I was being fed and given water through tubes and had a catheter fitted, I remember my mum holding my hand and I knew by the look on her face she thought I was going to die."
After eight weeks in ICU on ten different medicines, Emily's immune system started to fight against the deadly disorder and she is hoping to make a full recovery.
Emily spent a total of eight months in the hospital, even spending her 21st birthday on May 26 on the ward, where her family and friends came and threw her a Harry Potter-themed party.
Emily was discharged from hospital on September 19 in a wheelchair.
With sheer determination and help from her friends and family Emily is now able to walk short distances unaided - something she thought she would never be able to do.
She said: "I was determined not to be in the wheelchair for long and we had a family holiday booked for December and I was desperate to be on my feet by then.
"I saw a physio every day and spoke to other GBS sufferers online and hearing about their journeys really inspired me.
"Just knowing that you are not suffering alone really helps and now I'm back on my feet hopefully I can inspire others."

Share & comment on OSM places via Twitter
OpenMaps is an unmaintained map app based on OpenStreetMap and also Twitter. It lets you check in to and share OpenStreetMap places with your Twitter friends and has some great & useful map tools like such as route directions.
The feature to download maps for offline use was not compliant with Tile Usage Policy and created a problem for our volunteer-run OpenStreetMap server infrastructure, resulting in a block in October 2011 that has since been lifted. Development was discontinued in August 2013, but the application can still be installed from the iTunes App Store.

- Pinpoint your location on the map with a tap of a button.
- Use the digital compass to rotate the onscreen map to match the direction you're facing. (Your device must have a digital compass built in in order for this feature to be available.)
- Turn off location services to reserve battery if you don't need them.
- Find out more info about places by simply tapping on their icons on the map.
- Search online for a location. (For best results when searching for addresses search this way "housenumber street city", e.g. "1 infinite loop cupertino".)

This legend relates to the slaying of the demon Jalandara
by Shiva. There are eight such legends narrating Shiva's role as the destroyer of evil.
Jalandara the demon was born, when Shiva directed his
rage, in the form of fire from his third eye, into the ocean (hence the name Jalandaran). Jalandaraasuran
grew to be a powerful demon, and dominated the world. He married Brinda,
a pious woman. The demon he was, Jalandaraasuran lusted after Shiva's consort Parvati;
this resulted in a battle between him and Shiva. Shiva created a chakra
(wheel) in the waters and challenged Jalandaraasuran to lift it. This disk, severed the
The slaying of the demon Jalandaraasuran is celebrated
and enshrined in the Veeratteswarar temple at Tiruvirkudi (near Thanjavur
- Tamilnadu). Tiruvirkudi is one of the 8 Veeratta temples celebrating
Shiva the as the destroyer of evil forces.
Jalandaraasuran's widow Brinda is enshrined in a
samadhi at Tiruvirkudi. It is believed that she took
the form of a Tulsi plant. Unlike in other temples, Tulsi is offered to
Shiva at Tiruvirkudi.
Shiva later on gave his discus (chakram) to Vishnu.
Vishnu bears the Chakram as one of his attributes. The legend of Shiva gifting Vishnu with
the cosmic discus is held at Tiruveezhimizhalai near
the above mentioned Virkudi and at Tirumalpur near Kanchipuram.

It was such a joy reading this book! In the Christmas period there are many books with a festive theme that are able to bring the love and Christmas spirit in our souls, as readers and to be completely honest, I didn’t know what to expect from an MC group. For those of you who are familiar with the Hell’s Handlers, you know already they are tough guys and their “old ladies” have been through a lot. Well, despite all the things happening in “Joy”, this is the perfect book for the season.
One thing is for sure, in order to better understand the book, you should read at least a part of the stories in the Hell’s Handlers Series. We have multiple POVs, as each member is struggling with something. We see their fears, their pain and the support they give to each other. With a new threat in town, Copper’s revelation, Viper and Mama V’s problem and so many other things, this book doesn’t allow for a respite. I spent my night (literary) reading it because I am addicted!
I am addicted to this series and I am afraid at some point it will be over. This thought scares me, because every time I go back to any of the books in the series, it’s like coming home. Yes, they swear, they cuss and lead a less than polite social life. They may not be role models, and many would argue that the MC life is no life to raise a child. But the comfort they always find in each other and the way they come together in need is fantastic.
Lilly Atlas has given us a present. We see all the guys working together, we see the MC family coming together for one another. The feeling of “home”, the Christmas presents exchanged (especially the ones Mav is giving to his woman), the cookies, the kids, everything blends so well and pushes away all the bad memories or worries. I cried in the end – I let my emotions out. I was happy to see them together, stronger than ever. I spent so many hours reading about each MC member, what they’ve been through, about their ladies and now a feeling of happiness washes over me. Seeing one’s family around the table at Christmas is always cause for emotions. And Lilly Atlas made me, a reader, be part of this family she has created – it’s amazing 😊

A cookbook is really a textbook, written, very often, by amateurs for amateurs. But, unfortunately, cookbooks seldom receive the same high standard of editing as textbooks in other fields.
Some American cookbooks, for example, are published in Britain as they were written; yet American recipes use ingredients unobtainable in this country, a different technical vocabulary and unfamiliar measuring tables. Among the ingredients mentioned in Mrs Louise Pickoff's book For Serving 4 (or Even More) (published by Barnes, 30s) are skinless weenies, black-eyed peas, skillet-baked whitewings and dolphin.
An American book that avoids most of these pitfalls is Myra Waldo's The Art of Spaghetti Cookery (WH Allen, 25s). Pasta is so economical that it is well worth learning new variations; there are many that are easy to follow and quick to make in this book.
Many British women still feel unequal to the challenge of French recipes, associating them with indigestible richness and elaborate preparation. Home Book of French Cookery (reissued by Faber, 21s) by Germaine Carter was written in English for the British cook and uses only raw materials obtainable here. Its authentic, straightforward recipes inspire confidence at first glance.
Both Herbs for Health and Cookery (Pan, 6s) by Claire Lowenfeld and Philippa Back and Spice and Savour (Angus and Robertson, 16s) by Rosemary Hemphill are absorbing. The Pan book is really a small but exhaustive encyclopedia of the medicinal and cosmetic uses of herbs. Miss Hemphill's is more a history illustrated by recipes and drawings.
Len Deighton's hero in The Ipcress File, preparing "the most delicious meal you have ever eaten" for his treacherous girlfriend, works from the author's own cook strips pasted up on the wall. Fans might like to be reminded that Deighton has now published Action Cook Book (Jonathan Cape, 25s).
Finally, there is Cooking the Polish Way (Paul Hamlyn, 2s 6d) by Lili Kowalska, which is particularly imaginative about vegetables and desserts. Every kitchen can afford, and should have, this one.
Spaghetti with bacon-egg sauce (spaghetti alla carbonara)
3 slices bacon and 1 cup Parma ham cut into thin strips.
4 tablesp grated parmesan cheese.
1lb spaghetti, cooked and drained.
4 tablesp olive oil.
2 tablesp butter.
2 eggs beaten.
Brown bacon lightly: pour off fat. Add oil, butter and ham. Saute five minutes, but do not brown. Remove from the heat and stir in first cheese, then eggs. Pour quickly over hot spaghetti and mix thoroughly. Serves four (from The Art of Spaghetti Cookery).

OMV is great and working well for me.
I know that a NAS is never supposed to be exposed on the Internet, but still I want to expose a few ports so I can control a few things remotely.
My ISP gives me a public IP address so I set up DDNS and fort forwarding rules on my router. For some reason remote access is not working, here's some TCPdump info on the OMV machine:
Visiting OMV using DDNS address on a device in the same LAN: you can see the incoming and outgoing packets
Visiting OMV using DDNS address on the same device but from Internet: you can see the incoming packets but no outgoing ones, it seems that my OMV machines receives the request but never responds.
I'm confused by this, appreciate all your help.

888 is one of my favorite places to eat at in Austin. It is located on 2400 E Oltorf, between Willow Creek and Pleasant Valley so it is not too far from campus and extremely close to Riverside. 888 has a huge variety of Asian dishes such as Lo Mein, Curry, Fried Rice, and the extremely popular Pho. Their menu is pretty huge so making a decision is kind of difficult. We had Fried Egg Rolls for an appetizer, which were great. I had the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice at the recommendation of the waiter. It was served in half a pineapple and was fantastic! My friend had the Sesame Chicken which was also very delicious. 888 even has some pretty weird desserts such as an Avocado Smoothie and a Durian (the really smelly fruit) Smoothie. So if you're feeling adventurous you should definitely give one a try. Overall 888 has a huge variety of very tasty choices and it is not too expensive, so this place is definitely worth checking out.

If there is one thing Austin does right, it's converting old homes in to the most delicious of restaurants! Last night, I had the pleasure of checking out Eastside Cafe for the first time. Located on the east side of I-35 where Dean Keeton and Manor Road intersect, this cozy little cafe is the perfect spot for a low key and delicious meal! Their menu ranges from soups and salads to enchiladas and tenderloin, options for any and every appetite. I enjoyed a delicious Greek Chicken Salad with their homemade feta vinaigrette on the side. I'm somewhat of a Mediterranean food fanatic and ALWAYS have to try a new spot's version of their Greek Salad when opportunity knocks. I know not everyone is crazy about salads which is why I must also describe the meal my friend ordered. Get ready...Pork Tenderloin, garlic mashed potatoes and roasted butternut squash with a soy ginger sauce drizzled over the top! The squash was by far the best part of his meal, as surprising as that may be to some of you! Unfortunately, because I was so caught up with the delectability of my dinner, I forgot to take a photo. Whoops! But take my word for it, this is not a place you want to miss out on! Oh and I forgot to mention, they have homemade jalapeno cornbread as a starter! Yummmmm

When does a dinner become an unforgettable experience? For Luxury Gold guests, there is no single answer to that seemingly simple question. Because when you travel with us, we'll take you into a whole dazzlingly diverse world of truly memorable ways to dine.
To begin your trip in relaxed yet convivial style, you'll dine with your fellow-guests and your Travelling Concierge. Over pre-dinner drinks, good food and wine, you'll enjoy a perfect opportunity to make friends, and find out more about the journey that lies ahead of you.
These are stand-out dining experiences, perhaps at a restaurant in an impressive location, or with a stunning view, or a very special ambience. Dinner will be anything but ordinary, too; served in authentic local style - for example, a zingy seafood buffet or a richly colourful paella feast.
Dine-at-Home in partnership with Eatwith
On many Luxury Gold journeys, we now offer you the opportunity to sit down to dinner with a local family in their home. For this exciting innovation, we're partnering with Eatwith, who specialise in connecting travellers with local hosts, for a unique and memorable experience.
Your Choice Evening
Allow your Travelling Concierge to recommend a selection of excellent restaurants serving typical local specialities, within an easy walk of your hotel. All you have to do is decide which you find most enticing, and whether you'd prefer to dine romantically à deux, or in a small group.
On a Luxury Gold journey, you won't just eat delicious local specialities; sometimes, you'll cook them, too! And from a sushi-making session in Tokyo to a Tuscan pasta masterclass, you'll learn from incredible local chefs, hungry to share their skills and knowledge with you.
As a gastronomic high point, every Luxury Gold journey includes a lunch or dinner at a Michelin Star restaurant, and we also visit fine-dining restaurants acclaimed by other leading industry guides such as Zagat, AAA Diamond and Forbes. Prepare for the meal of a lifetime!

Our courses are vocational and focus on helping you, the student, to acquire the necessary and practical skills to work in the perfume, flavour and aroma industry, mostly as an independent perfumer. Since 2013, the Perfumery Art school has helped many students to establish themselves and go-ahead with their passion. See our Students Success stories. Or visit our Instagram account or Facebook page for news update.
When you wish to join a major group as a perfumer, you will need to contact the company directly through their website and Recruitment sections. Most companies have their own internal school of perfumery and only accept a handful of students every year to cater for their own needs. It is very unlikely that you can join such a group if you are over 30. This is because newly trained perfumers (called 'junior perfumers') will need to work under the supervision of a senior perfumer for at least 7 years. During that time, it is very unlikely that you will actually formulate perfumes to launch but you will work as an assistant to the Master perfumer. Also, note that only a few have a 'natural fragrances' department (although this is changing due to the demand for 'green products') so you need to have a knowledge of working with aromachemicals to join. Many perfume houses require a Bachelor's degree in chemistry or similar.
We have partnerships with smaller and medium-sized established companies worldwide offering jobs or internship in Creative perfumery, formulation, marketing, essential oils extraction, manufacturing, contract services and many more. Whenever a placement is available, we announce it on our private WhatsApp group or our students' newsletter.
We cannot guarantee your placement but we are committed in helping you find that dream job in the exciting world of perfumes once you have graduated!

Now the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is out of the way as well as the Olympic Games, the world now looks to Britain’s most famous couple. We know the couple are enthusiastic to start a family, but their duties have kept them busy from family planning. One thing we do know is that they are already thinking about baby names. If Will and Kate have a baby girl, she’ll be named after the Duke’s late mother, Diana, as a way to honor her namesake. This means that if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a little girl, the world will have another Princess Diana. The Queen has already been firm with her stance on producing an heir – telling the royal couple not to let their royal duties get in the way of family and happiness.
Kate may only be 30, but she has a late start compared to her other royal predecessors. The Queen was 22 when she had Prince Charles, whereas Diana was only 20 when she had William. Whether Kate Middleton is pregnant or not still remains a topic for discussion – after the latest batch of photos implying a baby bump, it is possible there may well be a little royal bun in the oven, but until Buckingham Palace make the announcement, we can only speculate.

Over Thanksgiving week, I was part of a panel to evlauate EU grant applications. These events are normally held in Brussels, and since the flight and accommodations were both cheaper starting on Saturday, I flew in early. Suffice it to say, I arrived just in time for the lockdown. Our evaluation activities were not held in person as a result, but nevertheless, our panels conducted all the necessary meetings using online tools. We successfully completed all our evaluations on schedule, using software that I believe was to be implemented in January in any case.
The highlights of my time in Brussels are captured in the attached photo gallery, which includes a gratuitous cat photo to mark Brussel’s cat postings on Twitter. The authorities asked citizens not to post info on their activities, so the folks in Brussels posted fun pictures of their cats’ activities during the lockdown, including quite a few PhotoShopped images just for fun. I didn’t have any time free to PhotoShop, but I Tweeted this cat photo in solidarity.
After spending a full week indoors–evaluating work, attending online meetings, submitting reports, reviewing and approving reports, finalizing and submitting my own grant proposal to Science Foundation Ireland, and finishing my read of a PhD thesis (what we in the USA call a dissertation)–I was more than ready to hail a cab to the airport and fly off to Lisbon.
The sunshine, good cheer, and fabulous food of Lisbon were so very welcome after a cold and lonely week alone in Brussels. I’ve attached a gallery of snapshots from Lisbon and, in a post to follow, I’ll tell you about the thesis evaluation panel I attended there.

Discharges from power plants can have major adverse effects on water quality and wildlife
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to revise the existing standards for water discharges from coal-fired power plants to reduce pollution. Wastewater discharged from coal ash ponds, air pollution control equipment and other equipment at power plants can contaminate drinking water sources, cause fish and other wildlife to die and create other detrimental environmental effects.
Earlier this year, EPA completed a multiyear study of power plant wastewater discharges and concluded that current regulations, which were issued in 1982, have not kept pace with changes that have occurred in the electric power industry over the last three decades. Air pollution controls installed to remove pollution from smokestacks have made great strides in cleaning the air people breathe, saving lives and reducing respiratory and other illnesses. However, some of the equipment used to clean air emissions does so by “scrubbing” the boiler exhaust with water, and when the water is not properly managed it sends the pollution to rivers and other water bodies. Treatment technologies are available to remove these pollutants before they are discharged to waterways, but these systems have been installed at only a fraction of the power plants.
As part of the multiyear study, EPA measured the pollutants present in the wastewater and reviewed treatment technologies, focusing mostly on coal-fired power plants. Many of the toxic pollutants discharged from these power plants come from coal ash ponds and the flue gas desulfurization systems used to scrub sulfur dioxide from air emissions.
Once the new rule for electric power plants is finalized, EPA and states would incorporate the new standards into wastewater discharge permits.
More information about EPA’s study is provided in an interim report published in August 2008. A final study will be published later this year.
More information on wastewater discharges from power plants is available at www.epa.gov/waterscience/guide/steam/ .

Men and their New Fashion Sense
Men are considered to the be the simplest thinker when it comes to their fashion but if you take a look at it closely, you will realize that their fashion frame is actually more complicated than women. Women often choose an outfit that is trending in the market, on sale or part of the hotlist for celebrities but when it comes to men fashion, they prefer to wear the most comfy outfit that they have but will suit them best.
If you are going to assess men’s fashion, it doesn’t have any complications other than not relying on what is trending or not. Men are actually dictated with their own needs as well their own perspective to fashion style. The full line of clothing for men is more complicated and difficult to achieve if you compare it to the women’s fashion. And in the end, men will always choose something that will make them comfortable.
It is a fact that men will most likely wear what is comfortable to them but we should not close our minds when it comes to their fashion sense because nowadays, men are also showing interest in fashion since this is their way of expressing their selves. Because of this, fashion experts have already experimented on men’s fashion by simply combining aesthetic and form to men’s clothing and they even added small details or speck of colors to areas. Before men decided to adopt to the new fashion style, they were only focused on two colors before and these are the black and white but today, they are actually trying clothing with colored fabrics.
The clothing for men today actually shouts the fact that men can also be fashionable in their own way as long as they experiment because they are capable of doing experiments for their own fashion style. In fact, the designs for men’s fashion today are incorporated with graphics, color and complicated designs because this is how they view fashion based on their preference.
The evolution of men’s clothing today is actually a transition from generic fashion to being individualistic. Men’s fashion has grew to a fashion with simplicity and combined to style. Their new men’s fashion is actually about wearing something that will make men standout in the crowd. Because of the fact that men are superior and dominant, they also want to look that way in a crowd so they will wear clothes that will help them with their standout.
Wearing clothes that have stylish color, pattern and texture are also great to promote the new fashion for men. There is nothing to be shy about because men’s fashion are actually growing and this is their way to express their selves and confidence.

Believe It Or Not, This Is An Ad for Shoes

Author: Victoria Jamieson
Illustrator: Victoria Jamieson
Publisher: Dial Books
Publication Date: March 10th, 2015
Genre/Format: Realistic Fiction/Graphic Novel
GoodReads Summary: For fans of Raina Telgemeier’s Smile, a heartwarming graphic novel about friendship and surviving junior high through the power of roller derby.
Twelve-year-old Astrid has always done everything with her best friend Nicole. So when Astrid signs up for roller derby camp, she assumes Nicole will too. But Nicole signs up for dance camp with a new friend instead, and so begins the toughest summer of Astrid's life. There are bumps and bruises as Astrid learns who she is without Nicole...and what it takes to be a strong, tough roller girl.
What I Think: Eep! I loved this book! t took me way too long to read it but now that I have, I can weigh in on its awesomeness. Gosh, growing up isn't easy but I'm glad young readers have this book. Victoria Jamieson does a great job of capturing the ups and downs of friendship while navigating the courage of new experiences.
I've been leading a Saturday course on creating graphic novels with students in 3rd - 6th grade and it has been so much fun to talk to them about their favorite graphic novels. I was super excited to share Roller Girl with them and know they'll love it! We spent time talking about characters and now as they've started drawing their own stories on pages of blank panels, we've looked at graphic novels as mentor texts for how to show that time has passed or how to zoom in on a character's face or just how to show the setting from far away and then how to zoom in by using panels in a row. It has been so fun to watch their stories come to life. Next, we'll be talking about dialogue and speech and thought bubbles. I'm excited to show them how Astrid and Nicole act towards each other and how the dialogue along with the artwork supports our understanding of each of their characters...along with the other fun characters in this book.
Read Together: Grades 4 - 6
Read Alone: Grades 4 - 8
Read With: Smile and Sisters by Raina Telgemeier, Sunny Side Up by Jenni Holm and Matt Holm, Page by Paige by Laura Lee Gulledge

What a wonderful privilege to have completed a sucessful first season of the Summer Theatre Conservatory Program.
Our final presentation took place at the Ensemble Studio Theatre and students performed their rewrites of plays and monologues. They all stepped up to performance level with delight and shine and an intelligence and command of themselves that was heartening.
Many thanks to all and everyone who worked well and in concert to honor the students and their passionate connections to their own growth. Thanks to Stephen Wagner, Program Administrator, Rod Menzies, Program Producer, Janet Zarish, Mary Robinson, Jeffrey Sweet and Sue Brandt.
And to EST's Paul Slee and NY Arts Linda Earle, Dana Tarantino and Susan Childrey.
We are writing up our assessments. Setting up our scholarship fund for next year and
and taking a break for a deep breath.
Thank you all and stay tuned for more information on next year as soon as we have it.

Do we treat the Symptom or the Cause?
Recently, I came across a news article on an innovative face mask developed by students at the Manav Rachna international institute of Research at Faridabad, India. In keeping with this year's theme for World Environment Day, #BeatAirPollution, this mask doubles up as a nebulizer to protect the user against air pollution. The product is designed to release a certain amount of medicine for nebulization depending on the air quality and the prescription of the user. You can refer to the article here.
I applaud the designers for using technology in creating a product directed towards people with respiratory problems living in areas where there is high air pollution. I am sure it would be very useful to people suffering from the impacts of air pollution.
However, looking at the other side of the coin, I see a problem with this scenario in several different levels. These have been translated into questions that I believe one must ask and one must get answered to truly get to the bottom of the problem.
Have we already reached the stage of adaptation to air pollution, as opposed to air pollution mitigation?
I pray, and believe, that we have not. Because, if, as researchers, as community, as government, we have come to the point that nothing can be done to mitigate and the only way out is to adapt, that would be very depressing indeed. As useful as these products are in the short term, researchers and policy-makers should focus on long-term solutions – be it technological or behavioral.
Will such products act as an encouragement to continue (or worsen) our polluting lifestyle?
In this day and age where the solution to every ailment lies in a pill, will this product be viewed as a panacea for all air pollution woes? Would this not, in turn, encourage people to continue to live in ignorance of the impact their lifestyles have in causing air pollution? If there is a readymade solution to keep ourselves healthy, will we be less inclined to use public transport, buy fuel-efficient cars and take other measures to reduce our footprint on air?
Is it a lack of awareness, or is it an unwillingness to change habits that we prefer to look for solutions for the symptoms rather than tackling the root cause of the problem?
Every individual has the capability and responsibility to reduce their burden on the environment. When it comes to air pollution, there are several things that we, as individuals, can do to reduce our contribution to air pollution, such as emission testing of our vehicles, using public transport and refrain from open burning. Can we focus on technologies that help people change their habits?
I remember my doctor telling me, “Fever is a symptom. We need to find and resolve the cause”. So the question is – do we treat the symptom alone and forget addressing the cause?
Questions we probably should ask if we are committed to get down to the root cause of the problem.
Questions that came to my mind.
Questions that I want to pose to you.
Please feel free to join the discussion and share your views on this subject.

Neighborhood Assistance Program
As a neighborhood board, we believe that being a good neighbor is vital to a healthy and sustainable neighborhood. We have consistently heard selfless stories about wonderful individuals in the neighborhood who have dedicated time and money to help neighbors, nearby businesses, neighborhood schools, etc. Through input and conversations with neighbors, we are kicking of a pilot program called the Neighborhood Assistance Program.
The Neighborhood Assistance Program is simple. If you are in need or know of a neighbor who needs help moving furniture, installing a ramp, or anything within reason that is causing distress, we may be able to help.
Please send all inquiries to our email address at email@example.com.
Note : The only caveat is that the neighbor in need must be aware help is being sought.
If you would like to donate or volunteer for The Neighborhood Assistance Program, simply click either of the links below.

Damned if I Do (The Harker Trilogy, Book 1)
They killed my sister and infected me. Now I have to pick up the pieces before I die.
I’ve spent the last five months trying to find the bastard who took my sister’s life and ruined mine.
Being brought up in a family that hunted the supernatural should have helped, but even with a slim chance that I can save us all, there’s still the bigger chance I’ll die trying.
Unfortunately, there’s one important thing my family didn’t tell me: When you fight against immortal vampires, you’re the one who’s running out of time.
Damned if I Don’t (The Harker Trilogy, Book 2)
Reg. Price: $2.99
I may be a vampire hunter.
But I’ve single-handedly screwed up big time.
After botching our chance to cure vampirism and the infection that’s killing me, I’m at a loss. My cousin Carl won’t speak to me. The bastard who killed my sister is still alive. And Jude, the amnesiac vampire, says he’s in love with me.
What’s even more shocking is that I love him back.
But the more Jude learns about his past, the more it will tear our relationship and our lives apart. I’m running out of time to find a new successor to become the new Progenitor. Because when I die, it’s game over for all of us.
Damned Either Way (The Harker Trilogy, Book 3)
Reg. Price: $2.99
The thrilling conclusion to The Harker Trilogy
I’m finally free of my family’s curse.
Except now, the world is ending. FML.
Anthony, the vampire that killed my sister and my brother-in-law, has won. I’ve lost everything. I no longer have my powers. I have no idea where Amelia is. And the vampire I love has surrendered to the hunger that is throwing the world into chaos.
The worst part? I can’t do anything about it, because I’m no longer the Harker. Sure, I’m not dying anymore, but I’m barely living at this point.
But there may be one last chance to save us all. If only I can find it in me to make one final sacrifice.
Shades of the Gods (The Elysium Legacies, Book One)
Caught between life and death, all Callie wants is to live again.
Homicide detective Callie Saunders knows that death isn’t all pearly gates and angels. After being hit by a bus, she finds that it’s the ancient gods and goddesses of Greek mythology who are in charge of everything.
So when Hades offers her a deal, she accepts. If she wants to be brought back to life, she’ll have to figure out who is trying to kill his son. But if she fails, both her soul and the world will be destroyed.
With the odds mounting against her, it’ll take everything she has within her to wake up from death. But the rules are constantly changing. And someone wants her to stay dead.
(This book was formerly titled Death is but a Dream. The covers and titles have changed for The Elysium Legacies, but the content is still the same.)
Blood of the Gods (The Elysium Legacies, Book Two)
The sequel to the genre-bending, hugely imaginative Shades of the Gods.
“There must always be a God of Wealth…”
Former police detective Callie Saunders shouldn’t be alive, but she’s been thriving with her new lease on life away from the machinations of the ancient Greek gods and goddesses.
But there’s always been someone missing from this little piece of paradise.
When a vengeful god kidnaps her son, she travels back to a world she barely understands to find him. A world where she must face humanity’s greatest enemies and her former lover. If she’s not careful, she’ll lose her soul again. And maybe even her heart.
(This book was formerly titled Life is but a Nightmare. The covers and titles have changed for The Elysium Legacies, but the content is still the same.)
How to be a Mermaid (The Cotton Candy Quintet, Book 1)
Reg. Price: $0.99
All Tara ever wanted was to be a mermaid.
So she takes a year off between high school and college to don a fake tail and tour aquariums across the country in a professional mermaid troupe.
Everything’s great until she meets a gorgeous real-life merman named Finn. Suddenly, what she thought was a dream turns out to be a nightmare — she’s turning into a mermaid herself. For real.
Yet when she returns to the sea to seek out Finn and reverse her transformation, she finds herself in the middle of an impending war between the land and sea. Tara may have always wanted to be a mermaid, but now it’s sink or swim. In order to survive, she has to learn how to be one, too.

Civil Liberties Bottled Offerings
Used this service to minimize my migration work for a Wix store, Migration was painful and required support. This was a fresh Shopify store with no other Apps installed. Then every previous customer emailed a re-confirmation email. Car2Cart store took no responsibility (I didn't email them!) and was incredibly unhelpful, offered no refund. This created twice the amount of work I was trying to avoid.
But I've been offered %50 off the next time I need my workflow ruined...
Please, accept out sincere apologies regarding your unpleasant experience with Cart2Cart Store Migration App. We'll do our best to offer you an optimal way of resolving the problem. Feel free to contact us any time.
Ive been trying to transfer my information, the Technicians are NEVER there, they can't transfer without the technicians, I live in Canada and by the time I wake up the technicians are out of the office, and by the time I sleep they aren't there yet. They have all these employees but no one that can actually help you with the migration.
We are extremely sorry for the delays with your migration. It is completely our fault that we failed to inform you about the timing - customized migrations require a lot more time than the automated ones.
Let us assure you that our technicians are working on your migration and will go above and beyond to meet all your migration requirements in the shortest possible time, in spite of the time differences.

NEVER would I use this again. I give one star just because their pre purchase sales ability is very good! There is so much work to do after they HAVE YOU do the migration. Customer service was delayed emails, and the time I made a lady speak to me and struggled to understand her, it was no help. They wanted MORE money, and it took everything over in a jumbled mess.
Please accept our apologies about this situation with your migration. We are extremely sorry about the delays and are ready to fix the issues with your data that has not been moved over correctly as fast as possible.
However, without the examples, our techs won't be able to find the reason for this issue.
Our support team has contacted you about this problem, so if you could point out to them what entities you're not happy with, it would help speed up the resolution.
Still 0 Star.
The migration service is poor.
I'm try the full migration but I just lost my time. the synchronization sistem is too much Bad
And Now I just need my Refund by my add fund but they don't give it to me.
They starting refund process AFTER 2 WEEKS. And they is SO ANOING because I’m just want my Refund and they still saying many times
“ We will be able to add $50 to your Cart2Cart account, if you change the review in Shopify. It is very important for us.”
Really they Don't care about CUSTOMERS and a GOOD Quality Service.
Please, accept our apologies about your migration outcome. We are extremely sorry to hear that it didn't work out as expected, and have already provided a refund for it.
Thank you for trying Cart2Cart. We hope next time it will be a satisfying experience.

POOR order migration service
While it was importing, It was stopped at certain period, and requested to run again. they did send all customer and text message notification turned ON
and all the customers got tons of email and order confirmation text messages....some customers were received text messages for few hours
This was DISASTER !!!!
We totally understand your frustration, and apologise for the situation with unwanted messages for your clients.
Unfortunately, our technical engineers couldn't help it, since the situation has been caused by the specific setting of the "Shopify Flow" plugin installed on your Shopify store.
Our support team has emailed to you the details showing how to disable the setting to stop the notifications.
I have to update my review, this app transferred the products over with the pictures and descriptions. But seems to have caused a lot of issues. Redirects are not proper, titles/descriptions now have utf decoding issues. Pay for the basic features and plan on doing all of the labor intensive stuff by hand.
Thank you for taking the time to leave the review! We work hard to deliver the best experience possible to each customer.
I've used them twice now. The first time was 6+ years ago and I forgot why I should not use them. Both times with HUGE headaches! I will never use again. I migrated almost a month ago, I'm still missing orders as well as many URL redirects were broken, items and URLs had duplicates. I have many upset customers trying to buy off a registry what takes them to a 404 page. All you will ever get is: "I have put the highest priority to this task and ask techs to work on it first thing tomorrow", then you wait, then you will get an email asking for "examples" of the issues, which they already have, but because they are in Russia, it will take 24 hours for you to hear back, if at all, and then it will be with another question, to which they have the answer. Like I said, missing order and still NOTHING from them except . . . the highest priority etc. You never hear from them to even know what the status is. Use another company, or find a guru to do it for you. Save yourself the headache.
Poor. The estimate for the migration was 31 hours, we have just over 11,000 products and 10,800 customer files and it took 8 DAYS!!! We were given excuse after excuse for the delays like we were 'Trial' customers, which we were NOT, we were paid, blaming Shopify for limiting the API connections, which Shopify stated they don't, MULTIPLE TIMES but finally done. We also have many items incomplete that we are correcting. We did take the insurance for the re-migration but can't wait another 8 days, we are still working to reconstruct the ones with missing information which has pushed back our re-opening of the site by 3 weeks. They need to get their stuff together and give accurate time estimates. Also, their support sucks, if you email them they 'normally' respond in 24 or more hours. Buyer Beware!
Kurtis Tice Auto
Didn't swap variants over. Lost a lot of profits. Due to variants pricing. All options with variants basically had to redo over. Highly Suggest not doing if you have variants!
THIS APP WILL MESS UP YOUR DATABASE. DONT BUY. I REGRET LISTENING TO A DEVELOPER AND SHOPIFY.
It's been a week that we are trying to sort the migration. They said the migration is done. When I looked at the data, the entries were wrong: the order totals were wrong, the amount spent by customers were wrong, the items sold were wrong, and many more. The turnaround is so slow. They also said that I needed to pay more if I wanted to keep the order number. This is a horrible app. A headache. I was hoping that this would help solve the migration. Now, I may have to unwind the whole migration. Terrible customer service turnaround. It's been almost a week and we are still not done with the migration. I am trying to get a refund. What a headache. Don' buy. IT WILL MESS UP YOUR DATABASE.

All the world's a stage.
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history.
11, 7, 139.
Entrances is not used as a stage direction. It is employed here in a special sense of an actor making his appearance on the stage. Exit denotes the departure of an actor from the stage, and is freely
used in all the printed editions of Shakespeare's
works and in all other dramatic literature. The
plural exeunt is also used in the same sense. Although exit is written and spoken in its Latin form, the word is thoroughly naturalised, whilst exeunt is marked in the dictionary as a foreigner.
Man and Manet are also stage directions often to be met with in the old quarto editions; they signify
that the actor or actors whose name or names follow
this direction remain on the stage after the others
have left; later dramatists did not use these terms,
and now they have become obsolete. As the old
quartos were not divided into scenes or acts, these
directions generally indicated that the scene or act
was concluded. At the end of a few plays the words
"exeunt omnes" are to be found.
Bring us to this sight, and you shall say
I'll prove a busy actor in their play.
III, V, 62.
And so he plays his part. II, 7, 157.
I charge you, O women, for the love you bear
to men, to like as much of this play as please you.
I charge you, O men, for the love you bear
to women, that between you and the women
the play may please.
Shall we clap into 't roundly, without
hawking or spitting or saying we are hoarse,
which are the only prologues to a bad voice.
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. II, 7, 157.
The roughish clown, at whom so oft your grace
was wont to laugh at. II, i, 8.
Hollow you clown! Peace, fool;
It's meat and drink for me to see a clown.
It is not the fashion to see the lady the
epilogue. If it be true that good wine needs
no bush! 'tis true that a good play needs
no epilogue, yet to good wine they do use
bushes; and good plays prove the better
by the help of good epilogues. What a case
am I in then, that am neither a good epilogue, nor cannot insinuate you on the
behalf of a good play!
Thou seest we are not all alone unhappy,
This wide and universal theatre
Presents more woeful pageants than the scene
Wherein we play in. II, 7, 138.
If you will see a pageant truly play'd. III, 5, 55.
The general meaning of this word is simply a
kind of dumb-show procession. One of the earliest meanings of
pageant referred to the stage, platform or scaffold
on which such scenes were acted. It is a point of
contention whether the pageant took its name from
the structure or vice versa. In course of time, speaking
parts were introduced, and then the word became
to be applied indiscriminately to all kinds of plays,
such as Mystery, Miracle, and Morality Plays,
which had by the end of the sixteenth century
become obsolete and antiquated.
In the York Miracle Cycle the Ordo Paginorum,
the order of the pageants, is prefixed to the version
of the plays. The Order consisted of different
guilds, which took part in the plays represented on
Corpus Christi day in the year 1415.
A subjoined quotation from Sir A. W. Ward's
English Dramatists would support the view that
the pageant was provided with speaking parts of
short duration. "Those pageants, in the generally
accepted later and narrower use of the term, which
consisted of moving shows devoid of either action
or dialogue." In a pageant given at Westminster
Hall, before Henry VIII, an account is extant in
which a dialogue is represented as taking place
between the ladies and the ambassadors, also the
sweet and harmonious saying of the Children. It
will be observed that in these passages a germ of
dialogue existed which in later years may have
assumed such larger proportions as might justify
these as being alluded to as plays.
An address or short poem recital before the
audience after the conclusion of a play. Rosalind,
the heroine of this comedy, delivered the epilogue.
Few dramatists in those days furnished either
prologues or epilogues when writing their plays,
but after the Restoration, when women played the
female parts, the custom became universal and was
generally spoken by one of the actresses. Nell
Gwynne, when she acted, usually recited these
lines. In many instances the epilogues are spoken
by a person not connected with the play. There
exists some doubt whether Shakespeare wrote the
prologues and epilogues prefixed to the printed
edition of his plays, the general custom permitting
another hand adding these verses. Of course the
magnificent prologues in "Henry V" are Shakespeare to the core.

So, you’re very tired from celebrating The Big Day. You probably feel like the fella on the floor here (I know, I’ve used him as well as the cat in previous posts). Best solution is to a.) lie on the sofa with a book or b.) go out and get some exercise. If you’re in Paris, go to the Jardin du Luxembourg and play with the toy boats.

Hi! I love Mothering and what it stands for. I just had my second baby (3 weeks ago) and my oldest is almost 4 years. It amazes me how many people in our culture have hang ups about breastfeeding, co sleeping, and even holding your baby for too long. We do not own a crib. I think it was the third time in three weeks that someone commented to my husband and me that we hold our baby too much. So yeah, I totally appreciate fellow AP advocates who believe in the power of baby wearing, nursing on demand, and being present.

I’ve had a busy last few days. That kind of busy where I’m so happy that business is booming, but I’d love to go spend a few quality hours in my garden. Maybe next week 🙂
It started Thursday evening with the launch party for Hoopla. Hoopla is the new Central Wisconsin magazine that I shoot for. We had the party over at O’so Brewing, and I got the chance to meet the rest of the staff and writers.
I love walking out there to harvest food for our meals.
Here’s a funny and unrelated topic… I was telling Brian that I really need to clean out my purse because there’s a bunch of things that don’t belong in there…
…mayflies, included. Haha.
Saturday brought the beautiful wedding of Chelsea and Jacob. I’ll never forget the beautiful engagement photos we took of this couple in Seattle last fall.
Their wedding was in Mosinee, and it was a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, surrounded by green woods and beautiful flowers from Randy at Evolutions In Design. I love their flowers- always stunning.
Congratulations, Chelsea and Jacob! We had a wonderful time with you on your gorgeous wedding day! 🙂
Sunday brought brewing beer with our friends, Joe and Mary. Joe writes a fabulous column in Hoopla called “Brew Supply” that covers home brewing, brewery reviews, and the politics of brewing. We would have loved hanging out over there anyway, but we got to call it “work” this time.
I’ve been watching the Olympics every chance I get, so it’s been some late nights at our house. It makes that 8 am alarm clock seem so early. Self-employment problems, I know. 🙂
I had a car repair appointment on Monday morning, so I had to get my run in “early.” I like to call these types of runs “surprise runs,” since I’m already a mile in by the time I wake up and it’s like, “SURPRISE, we’re running!” I don’t do many of those early runs anymore, but they always remind me of the many miles I logged with my sole sisters, Kim and Nancy. Those ladies had me out running at 5 or 6 am!
Speaking of running- one of the many things that I love about living where I do is that I can run or bike almost anywhere. I love using the term running errands in a literal sense.
I’ve had almost the same breakfast every day this week- eggs, avocado, fresh chives, and chopped spinach.
Yesterday was packed with three of my favorite ladies- shopping with my mom, coffee with Amy, and dinner and drinks with Nikki. Too many amazing women in such a short time period. Love you, ladies!
After all that fun time, I stopped home to visit my grandparents. I love those two people soooo much! Grampie put on his “ears” (hearing assistance) so we could have a conversation. Since his hearing is so poor, we haven’t had a real conversation in a couple years, but we talked all about fishing and he told me some great stories.
Grammie asked me about fishing, too. She said when I was little, I refused to eat fish because of their “cute little eyes and sad little faces.” Once my grandparents took me fishing up north, I stopped eating my favorite food- Schwan’s fish nuggets. I guess I have always had a soft spot in my heart for fish. 🙂
Miles this year: 385.7

✅ Fact Checked
⌚️ Only have 60 seconds?
ATP NVMe SSDs with industrial operating temperature ratings achieve stable results in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, while Dynamic Thermal Throttling automatically adjusts the speed to maintain cooler operation under demanding and heavy workloads.
We also recommend that you watch this video:
1Is 50c hot for an NVME SSD?
When idle, my Samsung 970 EVO NVME SSD hits 50 degrees. Ambient is around 28 – 30C. Anything over 50 is not normal, in general.
2What temperature is too high for NVME?
As an SSD heats up, it becomes much more sensitive to heat. Jean recommends that you keep your SSD under 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees F).
“The controller and all other components are fine up to 125 degrees Celsius (257 degrees F),” he said, “but the NAND isn’t,” he said, and the SSD will go into critical shutdown if it finds that the NAND’s temperature is above 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees F) or so.” Extreme cold isn’t good either.” “If the majority of your data was written really hot and you read it really cold, you have a huge cross-temp swing,” Jean said.
3What is an acceptable temperature for SSD?
Temperature Considerations for Industrial SSDs Industrial SSDs are intended to operate at temperatures ranging from -40 degrees Celsius to 85 degrees Celsius. These SSDs can withstand even higher temperature extremes during storage.
4Is 50 Celsius hot for SSD?
If the SSD has a temperature higher than 50 degrees even on idle, you may want to investigate what’s causing the problem. Your system temperature should not rise above 40 to 50 degrees Celsius when your computer is idle. The limit is the same for SSD as well.
5Is 60 degrees OK for SSD?
SSD disks can safely operate to 60 degrees Celsius, and temperature alerts below the 60 degree Celsius threshold can be safely ignored.
6Does a M 2 SSD need a heatsink?
Do NVMe SSDs need heatsinks? The answer is Yes. M. 2 drives are not only quicker and more convenient, but they also eliminate the need for bulky batteries and data cables.
M.2 drives are not only quicker and more portable, but they also eliminate the need for bulky batteries and data cables. However, their high storage capacity leads to overheating. Few people are aware that NVMe SSDs can reach temperatures above 80°C quickly and safely (most NVMe SSDs are expected to run between 0°C and 70°C).
Overheating isn’t the only cause of degraded results. According to Facebook’s comprehensive review of its data centers, overheating adversely affects SSDs’ reliability and longevity. If the temperature stays below 50 degrees, your ride will last longer.
To cool your main M.2 drive, the majority of motherboards and almost all Ryzen 2nd Gen motherboards come with at least one M.2 cooler. Unfortunately, the majority of these heatsinks don’t have enough metal or surface area.
7What is a high SSD temperature?
In the case of storage units, the typical operating temperature range for a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) is 0°C to 60°C. If the temperature hits 70 degrees, the storage unit will not only fail to function but also reach the end of product life.
8Is 40 degrees Celsius hot for SSD?
Typical SSD Operating Temperatures In a standard desktop computer, the most common SSD operating temperature is between 30oC and 122oF.
9Can heat damage SSD?
If they’re hot enough, Windows 10 will actually freeze and cause permanent harm. That’s in a bad situation, but if your SSD is in a little sunlight, it will likely slow down. Most flash memory chips have a preset operating temperature of 85 degrees Celsius, so try not to exceed that temperature.
10Can SSD be left in cold?
A solid state disk (SSD) has a greater operating temperature range than those that are less than -50 degrees Celsius. So those who live in the polar regions or those of you who are planning an expedition to the Arctic region must have a SSD to shield your device from any boot failure.
11Are SSDs affected by cold?
SSD Endurance and Temperature While operating temperature (particularly at cold temperatures) can have a negative effect on drive longevity, it is storage at hot temperatures that is the subject of this technical paper.
12Is 55 degrees Celsius hot for an SSD?
Is 55 degrees Celsius fine for an SSD? That is a perfectly safe temperature for consumer grade electronics. Anything in your computer will be fine at that temperature.
13Can an M 2 SSD overheat?
Our answer would be a resounding YES. Although installing and forgetting about your NVMe SSD is straightforward, these drives can and will overheat during normal day-to-day use.
14Is 55c too hot for hard drive?
The temperature in 55 degrees is much too hot; you’ll need to cool the car immediately or risk data loss. If you aren’t in a naturally hot climate and have good cooling, then please retrieve your information and RMA the drive.
15How long will SSD last in cold storage?
SSD failure mechanisms: 1 year at a 30 C storage temperature. SSDs of Enterprise Grade: 3 months at 40 C storage temperature. In both cases, as the ability of storage temperature rises, the data retention rate decreases.

These were pretty yummy, although I think I prefer the mini apple pies I blogged about before. The caramel though was a nice touch and these are a little more self-contained. Basically, I’m saying pick your poison ;-). I didn’t make them salted however, because I never cared for that. They’re good either way. I also used refrigerated pie dough that was pre-made. I have made it by hand a dozen times and I’ve just found that usually I prefer speed over the satisfaction of making it by hand.
Make the dough:
Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
Add the cubed butter to the bowl and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
Stir in the sour cream (the dough will be very wet), and then turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface.
Knead the dough a few times until it comes together, adding more flour, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky to handle. Roll the dough into an 8×10-inch rectangle and dust both sides with flour before folding it into thirds as if you were folding a letter.
Rotate the dough 90º and roll it out again into an 8×10-inch rectangle. Fold the dough again into thirds then wrap it securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes while you make the filling.
Make the filling:
In a small bowl, combine the apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar and flour, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Set aside.
Assemble the pies:
Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and unfold it onto a well-floured surface, rolling it out to a 14×14-inch square.
Using a 3-inch circular cookie cutter or cup, cut out as many circles as possible. Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting out circles until you run out of dough, ensuring you end up with an even number of circles. (You should have approximately 20 3-inch circles.)
Place six of the dough circles on a Silpat or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Spoon a small portion of the apple filling into the center of each circle, leaving enough of a border around the filling. Top the apple filling with a portion of the chopped caramels and a pinch of sea salt. Place a second dough circle atop each filled circle then use a fork to crimp the edges together, sealing each pie.
Brush each pie with the egg wash, and using a sharp knife, cut two or three vents on the top of each pie. Sprinkle the pies with crystal sanding sugar (optional).
Bake the pies for about 15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Repeat the filling and baking process with the remaining dough circles.

How to Get Kids to Practice Their Instruments
My girls’ wonderful flute teacher sent me this link and also weighs in as both a parent and teacher on how to get kids to practice their musical instrument. I don’t know about your experience, but I found that it’s the rare child who will practice his or her instrument consistently without constant prodding and nagging. My younger sister, who is now a piano teacher, studied classical at a rigorous studio that included monthly performances and many, many competitions. Despite this pressure to perform, she wasn’t a kid who liked to practice. I think the reasons are many:
- It’s lonely.
- It’s like homework.
- There’s no audience.
- It makes your brain tired.
- It’s frustrating when you get stuck on something and have no one to get immediate assistance.
- You’d rather play.
- Correcting parts of a piece that you’ve learned incorrectly is frustrating and repetitive.
- Learning a new, difficult piece is slow and tedious.
I completely understand that it’s work to learn to play an instrument. On the other hand, mom and dad are paying a small fortune in private lessons.
We are having better luck with practicing once my girls switched, after many years, from piano to flute. At first it was nirvana. They practiced eagerly for weeks to earn stickers and prizes from their teacher. As they progressed, the music got harder thus the time spent practicing went up. And now it’s more of a struggle to incorporate practicing into a daily routine. So when my flute teacher sent me this enewsletter, I immediately zoned in on the article on practicing. Here it is. And here’s the link to this excellent blog, GreenRoom.FromTheTop.org, which showcases the preeminent showcase for the nation’s best young classical musicians.
p.s. What seems to be working for us is:
- A set practice time. For us, it’s immediately after dinner.
- An audience of one. My kids want me to listen to them practice. I don’t always have time, but I try to carve out “audience time” for them. My flute teacher would recommend that I listen to them practice daily.
- Encouragement, praise, and pointing out how far they’ve come.
p.p.s. That cute little boy is my flute teacher’s son when he was six. Here’s the link to the post from GreenRoom. FromTheTop.org on Musical Beginnings. Josh is now in post-graduate school for music performance. Expect to see him performing as a professional cellist with an orchestra soon!
Welcome to our third installment of the Parents’ Perspective – a mini blog series for parents, by parents, to lend advice, share stories, and more about raising musical children. You can also read past posts on music resources and musical beginnings.
Today’s topic is on practicing: How’d you get your kids to do it? What schedule worked best for you? Was it easy or difficult to get your child to practice? We received a wealth of feedback from parents, and also had guest blogger and piano teacher Maria Rainier weigh in. Enjoy!
A structured practice schedule is helpful!
Roberta McGuire says: “On weekdays, when people have to rise early for work the next day, finishing practicing before 10pm at the latest worked best in our household. Sometimes, Patrick would practice in between the starting of other subjects’ homework – Practicing seemed to serve as a break from the homework.”
Susie Wuest remembers “Eric would race home from school to practice then and often again after supper. I think he was bored in school, and the violin presented him with a challenge. Eric was very athletic and liked to be busy — gymnastics, tennis, baseball, or just playing with friends. I always made sure that time was saved for practicing everyday.”
Barbara Nakazawa says “For the young musician a calendar with a sticker reward chart shows a visual form of success. After a certain number of stickers the student receives some type of reward. In my studio I have a prize box. If it is your child, perhaps going out for ice cream, a movie, or a little toy that they are looking for may be more suitable. Always remember that happy and proud is the bottom line. As a parent your job is to help make practicing joyful and fun. Laughter is ok too!”
Barbara is a flute teacher in Massachusetts. For more information on her studio, please visit www.newtonfluteteacher.com
Charlotte Kufchak used a creative and unique approach when it came to maintaining practice schedules: “We bought two sizes of dried beans and some sparkly paint. We had a lot of fun making the beans as colorful and pretty as possible. Then we paid the kids in beans for practicing. It was great – we never ran out of ‘cash’.
Each large bean was equal to 10 small beans. (There were some math lessons in there too). Each quarter-hour of practicing was worth a certain number of beans. Each child could save, exchange, or spend their beans as they liked – we had a list of prizes. Examples were special treats, legos, $5 deposit in their bank account, a symphony concert. The beauty of it is that it can be tailored to each child’s needs, each family’s budget and priorities. And, the kids were willing to practice!”
Guest blogger/piano teacher Maria Rainier advises: “Having mid-year and end-of-year recitals can be a huge motivator for practicing. Students get excited about performing for family and friends, which means that they’re happy to practice more and make the big moment even more impressive. Just make sure that your students aren’t too nervous and that they don’t try to put in excessive practice hours just before the recitals. Practice burn-out makes recital performances flop and discourages students, contributing to the idea that practice doesn’t increase success. It always helps to talk to your students about their feelings and apprehensions before recitals.”
Maria Rainier is a freelance writer and blog junkie. She is currently a resident blogger at First in Education, researching areas of online degree programs. In her spare time, she enjoys square-foot gardening, swimming, and avoiding her laptop.
The Suzuki Approach
Judy Merritt has had great success with the Suzuki approach: “The practice went through phases because it was a Suzuki approach, which requires active parent involvement on all levels. That means that when both Ted and Emma started music at age 4, every Saturday was a full morning of Solfedge, Eurhythmics, private and group lessons, and performances at the end of a semester at City Music Center at Duquesne University. Every evening was practice that we structured as parents until Ted and Emma were around 12, at that point they took over.”
Other Words of Advice
Roberta McGuire: The desire to improve needs to come from the child and can’t be forced. The best thing a parent can do to be supportive is to relax, support the child the best they can with a practice space, the materials they need and let the private teacher set the expectations and ground rules. If you try to force them to practice, the extra stress will only discourage them. A better strategy is to let the private teacher do the “heavy lifting”.
Vicky Robbins says, “Since my son (Sean Robbins) plays traditional Hawaiian slack-key guitar, his teachers were very flexible, informal and encouraging. He would learn new repertoire then practice on his own until he became more comfortable playing the pieces he’d learned.Performing at informal gatherings was also a way to become more skilled, while at the same time improving his comfort level in front of an audience. (Something that came in handy for his From the Top appearance!)”
Barbara Nakazawa: “I teach a practicing method called “the three penny practice.” (Be sure to have a jar of pennies in your possession.) You put three pennies on the left side of the stand. On a troublesome measure that you are “practicing” you play it once and if you get it right, you put the penny on the right side of the stand. You play it again and get it right, you put the next penny on the right side of the stand. You play it again and miss a note or rhythm, then all three pennies get put to the left. You must play the measure correctly three times in a row in order to keep the pennies. The next step is to connect the troublesome measure to the measure before it and continue playing. This teaches a student how to practice and not just simply play through something once.
Maria Rainier: “Warming up is an important part of practicing and should be the first thing on each week’s assignment sheet. For example, you might have a set of index cards with different warm-ups written on them for students to choose when they come in for their lessons. Many students enjoy having a role in their own instruction, so allowing them to pick a card from the stack makes all the difference. You can easily copy the cards from your studio and send some home with your students for their daily practice warm-ups. This establishes consistency between home and the studio, helping students to feel both more serious and more comfortable about their practice sessions.”

In addition to Spanish language courses for foreign people from all over the world, we also offer teacher training courses of Spanish as a foreign language.
Valencia. In these past years, the quantity of courses teaching Spanish language as a foreign language has increased, as well as the interest of many students. However, in the ELE teachers training sector, the opportunities to become a teacher of Spanish or to improve and widen their skills have not increased. Universities do not offer courses in the Hispanic Philology, Translation and Teaching Degrees for those who would like to be teachers of Spanish as a foreign language.
Nevertheless, people who want to direct their work training to the teaching of E/LE can benefit of the many offers provided by certain organizations, such as the Cervantes Institute and the net of Centros Accredited Centres. Every year, almost 500 courses and seminars are carried out in collaboration with a large number of universities and teaching centres.
Costa de Valencia, escuela de español, is a part of this net of Accredited Centres by the Cervantes Institute, and we also offer special ELE teacher training courses, apart from the Spanish language courses for foreigners, offered at all levels.
During morning sessions, expert teachers provide, to teachers of Spanish as well as the students, required linguistic, methodologic and pedagogic knowledge and tools to be able to become a good teacher of Spanish as a foreign language. In the afternoons, participants have the opportunity to test all the theory and tools learnt during the morning sessions in a real context, teaching lessons to the students of the school.
Costa de Valencia carries out serveral ELE training courses in Valencia, throughout the year.
This course is designed for participants having little time available who wish to expand their knowledge of teaching/learning Spanish as a foreign language and therefor wish to realise a intensive course of E/LE training in one week.
The course is divided into theoretical-practical morning workshops, which are taught by titular teachers of our center with more than 10 years of experience in the field of E/LE teaching. The contents are, among others, teaching grammar and its problematic aspects in teaching foreigners, strategies to encourage conversation or the treatment of the cultural component.
Every afternoon of the week the participants will attend to real lessons with a tutor and with him they will plann the sessions, choose the school material and design the last session that they will be in charge.
This course is mainly intended for students who have recently graduated in Philology and who would like to start their training for teaching Spanish as foreign language (E/LE).
One part of the course consists of theoretical-practical workshops, which take place in the morning. Its contents are, among others, teaching grammar and its problematic aspects in teaching it to foreigners, strategies to encourage conversation, dealing with cultural components and analysing course materials and resources. These workshops will take place from Monday to Friday for two weeks and are taught by qualified teachers of our centre with more than 10 years of experience in the field of E/LE teaching who as well work together with teachers from the teaching unit of the University of Valencia.
On two afternoons of the week the participants will attend to real lessons with a tutor with whom they will work together to plan the lessons, to choose the material and to design a lesson which will be given by the students their selves.
This course is designed for no-native Spanish professors who practice their professions outside of Spanish-speaking countries.
The course is divided into theoretical-practical morning workshops, which are thaught by titular professors of our center with more than 10 years of experience in the field of E/LE teaching. The contents are, among others, teaching grammar and its problematic aspects in teaching foreigns, strategies to encourage conversation or the treatment of the cultural component.
During the afternoon sessions there will also be different workshops and socio-cultural visits aimed at learning first hand the Spanish socio-cultural reality that will serve to reflect how these aspects impact on teaching practice.

As long as you don't have any pressure on the brake lever, fluid will not spurt out. It will weap out slowly.
Also, you can replace the new bleeder without having to bleed the system. As long as you don't let the resevior empty that is. But you should have a few minutes to do it without worry. However, I would suggest not tightening the bleeder fully until you see fluid coming out the top of the bleeder.
As for putting teflon tape on, there shouldn't be a need. the threads do not seal the bleeder, the end of it does. the end of the bleeder has a tapered end, and the caliper has the mating end at the bottom of the tapped hole. That is where the seal is made, not with the threads. If you have weaping past the threads, the seat may be gulled up. Besides, I don't think teflon tape will hold up to brake fluid, I'm sure it would be eaten away rather quickly.
Replace your bleeder and don't over tighten, and see if the weaping stops. if it doesn't, your seat may be bad and the caliper may have to be replaced.
And no matter what you do, DO NOT press on the lever with the bleeder out. If you do, once the bleeder is released, you will pull in a ton of air into the system. But Im sure you are aware of that, just saying it just in case.

LINDEN, MI – The Fourth of July has long been a special day for Al Rutter and his family.
Not only is Rutter among a disappearing group of World War II veterans, the Linden man celebrates his 93rd birthday today.
Fourth of July celebrations have always been a spectacle at the Rutter household.
"Everybody wore their red, white and blue stuff, all the way from scarves to bathing suits," said Rutter's second-oldest daughter, Carol Vie. "We would party and talk and Dad would tell stories. ... It was one of the biggest deals for our family every year. No matter where you are you make it back home for Fourth of July."
"Dad always thinks everyone celebrates Fourth of July for him," Vie said with a laugh.
Rutter, who served two years in the U.S. Navy, is among a small percentage left of what is called the Greatest Generation. There are only 1.2 million veterans remaining of the 16 million who served the country in WWII, according to The National WWII Museum's website.
There are roughly 15,000 WWII veterans in the state of Michigan, said Stuart Billey, VFW state adjutant.
On a recent interview with MLive-Flint Journal, Rutter wore a shirt patterned with an American flag. His wife, Lois, wore an American flag scarf. A framed picture of him in uniform sits on a shelf in his living room.
Rutter joined the U.S. Navy at age 24 in 1944, leaving his job at General Motors. He was a seaman first class for a year, working on an aircraft carrier ship near Trinidad.
As fighter, bomber or torpedo planes landed every 40 seconds on the carrier, Rutter and others on the ship would guide, park and tend to the aircraft when needed.
"I learned a lot," Rutter said. "I learned how to get along with people, first of all, with the least amount of friction. Don't make it a bad day right off the bat.
"I learned leadership. ... You have to learn fast that you can't do it alone."
It was those lessons and more that he passed on to his five daughters, 12 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.
He takes time to sit down with his grandchildren and tell them how to act in school.
And his daughters were always taught to make the right decisions, said Vie, 67, of Linden.
"He taught us all to be best friends. (Us sisters) learned to work together," she said. "You can never do anything alone. Everything works better for everyone."
The Greatest Generation fought in one of the greatest wars, Billey said. It was bigger than any other war, he said, and it was a time when the country really came together.
To have WWII veterans around is a great asset, he said.
"To see it on the big screen is one thing, but to hear it come from the mouth of someone who was at Normandy, who was at the Battle of the Bulge, who walked down the streets of Germany... is something completely different," Billey said, adding that his grandparents told him stories of what happened in Flint during WWII. General Motors plants began manufacturing equipment for the war. "The entire country kind of came together and rallied together. An entire company changed what they did to support (the war)."
Rutter never went to Germany, but he still had stories to tell about his time in the Navy. They never get old to the family, Vie said.
When aircraft came in to land on the carrier, often pieces of the plane or propeller would fly off. Rutter said the men on deck would have to be quick on their feet and dodge flying debris.
"I was quick on the draw. I was usually the first one with my head down," Rutter said. "I had kids at home."
Vie will never forget the story her father told her about sleeping under one of the large guns on the ship.
He slept a little too long was awakened when it fired.
"That taught me a lesson. Find a better place to sleep," Rutter said with a laugh. "When they're not firing the guns, it's not bad. It's shade."
After his year at sea, Rutter said he was asked to run the education department of the Navy in Virginia.
Even though Rutter was grateful for his time in the Navy, he was happy to get home to his family after the war.
After the war, he went back to GM as an inspector for aircraft engines and machine guns before becoming a claims manager for an insurance agency.
A sense of patriotism has also been instilled in Rutter's family. His wife, Lois, their daughters and their families fly the American flag proudly. Rutter has been a member of Veterans of Foreign Wars organizations across the country. He is currently a member of the Fenton VFW, as well as the American Legion.
The Fourth of July is a time to reflect on the privileges Americans have, Billey said.
"(Fourth of July and the Declaration of Independence) shows the freedom when we became a nation. For the people back then, it showed their determination and resilience to better themselves," he said. "Just reflect what it means to be American, what it means to be a country and what it means to see a parade or a flag being flown and stand up... We should show our respect and support for what that means."
On the Fourth of July, Rutter and his family will be celebrating at Byram Lake in Linden. Banners will be hung and community members usually stop in, Vie said.
It will be a birthday party, but it will also be a time of remembrance and celebration for the country.
"Fourth of July is important because it's what made the country what it is," Rutter said.

Today’s slow thaw was VERY slow. PDX hit 33, other parts of the metro area were up in the 33-37 degree range. But now we are seeing plenty of refreezing because skies have cleared out. Snow cover on the ground and a clearing sky means temps can easily drop back to freezing. Around 9:30pm this semi truck went flying off the I-205/I-5 interchange near Tualatin:
There will be no warming south wind overnight, and the only thing that would keep temps near/above freezing would be thick cloud cover moving in. Don’t count on that.
Here is the plan for tomorrow morning:
- Most side roads will be icy, or at least have lots of leftover slush/snow on them
- Freeways should be mainly okay though
- I don’t expect a widespread freezing rain event
- But some showers will arrive after 8am, and in some spots those will fall as freezing rain.
- Will you be able to tell the difference between a few spots of freezing rain and icy streets left from overnight freezing…I doubt it. Not much different from what we have right now.
- By 10am temps will be rising above the point which liquid rain would freeze to roads anyway (30-31) ) so then we are out of it, including the far eastside of town (Troutdale/Gresham)
In the Gorge, it’ll stay frozen all day, except the far west end near Corbett and above Washougal which will get warming southerly wind in the afternoon/evening. So maybe 1/2″ ice accumulation from Multnomah Falls to Hood River. Lighter amounts at The Dalles.
So drive carefully tonight and tomorrow morning. If you DO plan to go to work, rest assured that roads will be MUCH better in the afternoon and evening. Really!

First of all we don’t watch The X Factor. We hate the programme with an unbridled passion which ignites an uncontrollable urge to endlessly rant about how much we hate the f@cking programme. That aside, something special is happening this year which should be of interest to those of you who share a similar view.
As you will no doubt be aware there’s a certain contestant on this year’s show, 54 year-old Wagner, (pronounced Vagner), Fiuza – Carrilho, who’s causing quite a stir. Simply because he has the vocal talents of a drunk uncle at a wedding and for some reason has made it through to the final seven. Cowell’s, Cole’s and Minogue’s searing disdain for the man, who looks like the bastard son of Whiplash and Peter Stringfellow, is obvious as they continue to rip into him giving the man no credit for having the balls to just take to the stage, who let’s face it is doing the best he can to win himself the £1M record contract. It takes a real man to effortlessly rape not one but three classic Beatles songs and still call it a performance.
But on Sunday night judge Cheryl Cole’s facade almost slipped and she nearly revealed to the nation her true hidden alien reptilian form by referring to a news article where Wagner had described her as a ‘girl from a council estate who was just very lucky’. Confronting the Brazilian about this Cheryl then proceeded to twist what the man had actually said to the journalist and turned what should have been a judgement on Wagner’s performance into yet another ego boosting issue about the royal Cole. Isn’t the Queen Of Chavs forever banging on about not believing what you read in the rags? Isn’t that what she blubbered to old arseface during her ‘highly personal’ interview before crying a river on his highly informed news shoulder?
Things are turning a little sour for The X Factor and with a massive fan base and swelling support, which seems to be coming from a student based collective coupled with those that despise the programme, for Wagner to win this series outright we are, for the first time, rooting for a contestant in a reality TV programme. We are aware this breaks the vow we made many years ago but if Wagner goes on to win this could herald the beginning of the end for The X Factor and that’s something we could really get behind.
If you fancy a flutter on the 54 year-old Brazilian to win this series of the programme then here is a list of his current odds with a variety of top bookmakers online:
Betfair – 24/1
Ladbrokes – 20/1
32 Red – 20/1
Totesport – 18/1
Paddy Power – 16/1
Bet 365 – 16/1
William Hill – 14/1

After work we headed to Da Noi in South Yarra for some Sardinian sunshine.
It's a small establishment on two levels, romantically lit by candles. It's a white tablecloth and dim lighting kind of place. Definitely a date place.
We headed up the rickety and narrow staircase to a table for two by the window facing out to the street.
Our waiter was charming and he looked after us well. We felt we were in good hands albeit somewhat eccentric! Some courses took a little while to arrive but never did we feel anything had gone awry or we had been forgotten...more reminded that Italy is about slow food so we should take the opportunity to slow down. We decided to go with non a la carte option and place ourselves in the hands of the chef having discussed with our waiter what to avoid. It was interesting to see that different tables received different dishes so it's not like the kitchen mass produces everything.
Our first warm dish came in the form of a fava bean soup with croutons and a flatbread with pork lard. It was hearty and comforting soup and incredibly delicious. Chewy meaty croutons and crispy flatbread. Yum!
Our pasta dish was tortellini with shitake mushrooms and a brown butter. Again simple flavours. A meaty filling, salty Parmesan and delicately thin al dente pasta made this a winning dish.
Main course was roast goat, garlic and rosemary and roast potatoes. So delicious and again so simple. This was served with a zingy tomato salad with radishes and rocket which provided a good acidic note to cut through the heaviness of the meaty chunks.
The chocolate mousse was like a Ferrero Rocher and had crunch and silkiness and chocolate and hazelnut in every mouthful. The semi freddo was a light as air but I'm not sure the flavour of it combined well with the chocolate slice.
Stand out dishes for us was the pasta, the soup, the fish and pickled veg. These were like the twinkling stars of the meal but no course was bad. We agreed we both preferred Da Noi over L'Osteria la Passione as it was more elegant and the service and ambience more confident and self assured. It isn't the cheapest but we left feeling extremely full and satisfied. We felt that we had tried so many different things and had eaten our way around Sardinia. We felt relaxed and revived and I guess this means it's worth it's price!
