Two of the most interesting and efficient air conditioners arriving on the market this cooling season have come to us, not from the world of mainstream air conditioner manufacturers, but from renewable energy companies.
The first of them is the SplitCool DC18 solar air conditioner from Solar Panels Plus. This is a 48 volt DC air conditioning unit that employs a variable speed compressor. According to the company, their engineers started with Mitsubishi High-SEER brushless DC inverter compressor and re-engineered it in cooperation with the factory, removing the rectifier and configuring it to function on 48 volt DC power input.
There is no inverter needed or used on the inside or outside of the unit. This is important to solar energy users, because not using a AC-DC inverter avoids the power loss experienced when running a AC powered appliance on solar power. Since solar power is always native DC and 15 to 20% of the power is lost during the AC-DC conversion process, avoiding the inverter, by itself, makes this air conditioner far more efficient that a high-SEER AC unit connected to solar through an inverter.
From HotSpot Energy, another renewable energy company operating in the area of waste heat recovery, comes a new AC product called the ACWH18 Air Conditioner Water Heater. Like the solar air conditioner mentioned above, it is a 18,000 BTU ductless mini-split heat pump, but the HotSpot air conditioner-water heater runs on normal 220v AC power.
The ACWH is a SEER 18 EnergyStar certified unit that includes an integrated heat recovery circuit allowing it to make hot water as a free byproduct of running the AC.The heat recovery circuit recovers the heat that would normally be thrown away, and recycles it to make hot water at temperatures up to 140F.
The HotSpot air conditioner-water heater system installs like a normal mini-split, and then the outdoor unit is connected by insulated water lines to the customers hot water tank, using a special tank adapter. According to HotSpot engineers, it can make about 100 gallons of hot water per day, give or take, depending on its duty cycle and the entering water temperature.
The company says that a typical user with a seven month cooling season will save over $1,000 per year in combined electrical and water heating savings, compared to a customer running a SEER 13 unit and using a standard water heater, with users in southern areas like Florida able to achieve double that amount of savings. And it qualifies for a federal tax credit.

The ‘Teen Mom 2’ star says reports that she has a pill-popping problem are SO false, and we hope she’s right!
Teen Mom 2‘s Chelsea Houska is one of the most scandal-free stars of the hit MTV show, so we were shocked when a source told Star magazine that Chelsea is allegedly struggling with a prescription pill problem! But Chelsea says the rumors aren’t true: “This is entirely false & disgusting,” she tweeted at HollywoodLife.com. “Crazy people in my life make sh*t up for money :(”
Chelsea’s remained relatively drama-free on and off the show (besides fights with her ex, Adam Lind, of course), so we hope it’s true that the rumors are false!
What do YOU think of the rumors, HollyMoms?

AED’s Sean Fitzgerrel and Scott McPherson participated in the Midwest Teachers of Transportation and Industrial Areas (MTTIA) annual conference in early August at Central Lakes College in Brainerd, Minnesota. MTTIA is 501c6 organization led by educators throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota. This year marked the 35th year of the conference (but the 34th time that it was held, as it was canceled last year due to COVID). The conference is well known across Minnesota but has been growing for the past three years, with more attendance from the neighboring states.
For the first 30 years of the conference’s, only automotive technology teachers attended. Five years ago, the conference added diesel, truck, collision, and powersports topics and started attracting teachers from those disciplines as well. Today, conference attendance has grown to over 100 instructors. Deans and instructors from the following AED Foundation-accredited colleges were in attendance: Dakota County Technical College, Alexandria Technical & Community College, Hibbing Community College, Central Lakes College, Minnesota State Community and Technical College, and North Dakota State College of Science.
This year’s conference kicked off with an “Administrators Day” that included an industry panel and a keynote speaker. Sean Fitzgerrel sat on the panel along with leaders from Ziegler CAT, Luther Automotive Group, Subaru of America, and several Minnesota-based trade associations. The keynote was provided by George Arrants, vice president of the ASE Education Foundation. One of Arrants’ key messages was “There are only two customers in education (the student and industry), and if you aren’t helping those customers you need to get out of the way.”
When asked about the importance of adding administrators to the mix, Minnesota State Transportation Center of Excellence (TCOE) Executive Director Chris Hadfield stated, “Getting groups of different people together via the internet has been made easier in the last few years. But getting them together in person is always going to be a challenge. Administrators at high schools and colleges want to help their programs be successful. But often, they don't have the tools, knowledge, experiences, connections, etc., to help them do their jobs. Transportation instructors and industry/community partners have those tools but often struggle with communicating with administrators. It's not their fault, it's simply that these are two different worlds, speak different languages, have different cultures, etc. So things get lost in the translation.”
When asked about what equipment dealers can do to assist schools, Hadfield replied, “The key is dialogue. Everything starts with a conversation, whether it’s at a college’s advisory committee meeting that meets regularly, at a career fair at the local school, or simply just walking up to the front office of the local school or college. Each employer is different and each situation is different. Everyone pays taxes in some form or another – local, state, property, sales, road, fuel, and more. A portion of those taxes funds local high schools and colleges. Those schools are designed to build the future of our communities. This includes the workforce. Whether a student decides to become a lawyer, a doctor, a janitor, a nurse, a truck driver, a police officer, or a diesel technician, industry has to be involved in the conversation. At the end of the day, employers need to be involved and have a partnership with high schools, colleges, programs and instructors. That partnership is going to look different and could be anything – equipment sharing, field trips, internships, career exploration help, fundraising for scholarships, donations, substitute teaching, technology access, and more. But it all starts with a conversation.”
Another great new feature of the conference was the diesel instructors’ roundtable, which turned out to be a frank and robust two-and-a-half-hour discussion. Minnesota State TCOE Director of Program Excellence Carl Borleis stated, “The roundtable was added to this year’s conference at the request of the diesel instructors. They all have advisory committee meetings that are designed to help guide instruction, but the teachers felt it was important to have input from industry from a more statewide/regional perspective. The TCOE is always looking for ways to improve education for the students and help instructors become more knowledgeable in their craft. Through industry and educational input, the TCOE submitted and was awarded an NSF grant to bring autonomous technology training into the classrooms of both colleges (education) and high schools (outreach). As we shared the idea and vision with instructors, their biggest concerns were how to add in something new without taking away something else that is equally important. How do you teach all the new technology without losing the basics, and how does industry want us to proceed?”
When asked about how the industry can help to alleviate some of the hardships of the instructors, Borleis responded, “One simple but deep takeaway: education is complex. The needs of each individual student are different from another’s. They each come different backgrounds: inner city or farm life to a military background; large traditional families to no family; rich to poor; some with a wide range of preexisting experiences, skills and abilities related to the field, and some that don’t read or write well, don’t know how to read a tape measure, can’t calculate fractions, and hardly even know what an engine does, let alone how to use basic tools. How does an instructor meet the needs of those that need a large amount of basic instruction without overwhelming them to the point of giving up while keeping those that have a wide variety of preexisting skills from being bored and quitting, all while being expected to treat everyone with a perceived level of fairness and equity?”
Hadfield and Borleis offered suggestions on how industry can help:
- Be a voice at your school, and let the instructor and administration know what is needed by your industry and the obstacles you face, then help them figure out how to meet those needs, while listening to and understanding their needs and obstacles as well.
- Support your local instructors by volunteering/donating your time or the time of your technicians as a mentor to those students that need additional help.
- Be a substitute teacher for a day when needed.
- Ask the teacher what they need or how you can help.
- Help build connection and community with the students, beyond just internships and apprenticeships.
- Partner with your instructor in visiting high schools together to share about your industry and the opportunities that exist beyond school.
- Sponsor a field trip or job shadow opportunities at your shop.
- Provide teacher externships during the summer, or help them to design the curriculum.

So that's the 'he-said-she-said', but then there's this from Cialella's (the shooter) lawyer:
Lomax, 31, told the judge he was at the movie with his girlfriend and her three teenagers, enjoying the film and laughing, when a man in front of him — not Cialella — told him to quiet down.
"We can't laugh?" Lomax recalled asking.
A second man threw popcorn at the family, and a brawl ensued. Lomax said he was fighting with the first man when the second man pulled out a gun and fired, striking him in the left arm.
A defense lawyer argued that Cialella was being choked and punched as he tried to break up the fight and fired in self-defense.
"He's a marksman," lawyer Greg Pagano said. "If he wanted to shoot to kill, he would have."So was he shooting to wound? That sounds like a pretty terrible defense if that's true. Personally, I wouldn't try to break up a fight to begin with; armed or not. That's just an invitation to get into a situation like this. Cialella carried a ".38 caliber handgun" in his waistband, for what that's worth.
The whole thing sounds kinds dubious to me, and I still think he's an idiot.

Wednesday morning and it’s AC Milan time, you just got to love these days. Today will be a long one. I leave the house about 11 in the morning and head for Rathmines to collect tickets for a friend who is already over there. The demand for this game is huge and for some reason, I have found myself in the situation where I will have to meet 12 different people today with tickets. Be it swaps for this game or bringing the season cards back for Sunday’s Fulham game, it is going to be a busy day too.
My travel companions are Eoin (I know it is getting boring now, but I have to repeat, we still have a 100% winning rate!) and Simon. We are flying via a 2.00pm flight to Birmingham from Dublin. The normally reliable Air Coach is running 40 minutes late, but we arrive in enough time to have one pint at the departure gate. I am relaxed about today, the 3-2 win in Milan should see us through, but you never know. Defeat would be a disaster, this is a position we should not and I think will not lose. The flight is full, with the majority of them heading to the game. My resident stalker Mr. Soft is on the flight along with four or five other lads that can be seen regularly on trips. Birmingham is starting to become more and more popular for games.
Fast forward and three hours later, following a smooth flight and a two hour train trip, we are in our normal pre match position. Outside the offies just beside the ground. Tickets have to be distributed and I am haunted, as everybody arrives at pretty much the same time. It all goes smoothly and is a massive weight off my mind. Time to relax now.
Colin, Emmett and Damian join us but the Old Bill are on a mission today and that is to hand out £50 fines to anybody caught drinking on the streets, which is thousands of people. This is the first time ever we have seen this and it is very very strange. First comes a warning, then a confiscation and then a fine. Colin hits A.S.B.O. level two and the Cavan man has his wife-beating Strongbow taken off him. He is not impressed, but the rest of us are luckier and save for a few dirty looks from the cops, we are left alone.
As we head to the ground, the must have and now well patented dirty bridge burger is consumed and it is all systems go. We are moved today to the East Stand, due to the advertising needs of UEFA. It is a load of s*ite and we would all love to be back in our normal Stretford end seats, but there is nothing we can do. The stewards are even worse than at our end, asking us to sit down every two minutes, citing the woman behind us not being able to see the match. United begin very well and Rooney has an effort just wide. Ronaldinho heads inches past the right hand post soon after. Close call. Milan grow in confidence and I am starting to get edgy.
Moments later, the tie is over. The much maligned Gary Neville sends in a glorious cross and Rooney nods in. Milan never raise a gallop after this. The rest of the half is fairly tame. I honestly cannot recall anything happening at either end. Two things are noticeable however, Park Ji Sung is having a cracking game through the middle and Gary Neville is also doing well, for once!
Within seconds of the restart it’s 2-0. Nani plays Rooney through after the Milan defence is sloppy and Rooney knocks home for his 30th of the season. Gary standing two seats away from me proceeds to somehow head butt me during the celebration, almost breaking my nose. I ensure that I am well away from him when Park knocks in number three a few minutes later, from Scholes crisp pass. It’s 6-2 on aggregate now and it is party time; David Beckham is warming up and is now getting more attention than the other 22 players on the pitch. The ‘Love United, Hate Glazer’ anthems are taking off big time also.
Between this and the Beckham love fest, the game becomes a sideshow. As he enters the fray, he gets an unbelievable reception, too good. I join in but I will not be singing his name, there are players in the red shirts that need supporting first, sentiment can wait for another time. How much of a farce the game becomes is shown by the fact that some United fans around us are urging him to shoot every time he gets the ball. They appear disappointed when he goes close, but fails to score. I cannot understand it, but as Fletcher makes it 4-0, those lads do not get their wish. News is filtering through that Madrid need two goals to go through and as we leave the ground, it is confirmed that they are out. Sweet, tops off a terrific night.
Tickets (all United season tickets are swipe cards and not paper tickets) are re-exchanged after the game and we sprint off into town to make the last air coach up to Liverpool airport. We get an offer at the stop of an eight seat cab for 80 euro and four Milan fans join us. We have good conversation on the way up and the Italian lads feel that United have the best team in Europe. High praise indeed. They are in a state of depression about the future of their club; you can see where they are coming from.
Tonight’s accommodation is being provided by the airport floor. It is about midnight as we settle into our beloved prayer room and while it is not exactly the Ritz, it will do the job for a few short hours. As the night progresses, the crowd in the tiny yet sacred room grows and come 4am, the place is full of Irish lads, all United fans. My sleep time is over as the chorus of snoring is unbearable. We head off to the departure lounge. Our flight is boarding soon anyway so all is not lost. A bunch of Irish lads make idiots of themselves by discussing Bob Geldof, Ethiopia and the like within earshot of half the airport. Flight boards on time and its homeward bound. We are all due in work, but we do not mind, it is easy to face a day’s work when it is a victory.
As I hit the LUAS home after the Air Coach, another successful trip is coming to an end. Next Sunday is the big one. After last year’s disaster, this one better go our way. Until then, L.U.H.G.

So… this is something simple, but still something I sorta need to fill in. Basically, I got a story involving a group of cheerleaders trying to raise funds for some charity cause. Issue is… what cause? I’m not so well informed on either field, so whatever suggestions you may have that think may be interesting are totally welcome. Please and thank you.

Mall Suicide was born on the day of a suicide that occurred suddenly in a Cape Town mall. Our message is influenced by the indifference shown a mere few days after the tragedy, and that is that the status quo is wrong and should change.
Mall Suicide is influenced by the bands that birthed the Post Punk genre and brought punk into the modern era: Green Day & Offspring, and their more pop counterparts: Blink 182, SUM41 and Simple Plan. Our catchy lyrics, often as controversial as our name, head on assault topics from politics to religion and relationships, to being caught having sex in a car park.
Raw guitar riffs, laden with distortion, simple but catchy with upbeat and memorable, foot-stomping-dance-inducing-lighter-in-air-moment guitar solos, are driven by solid bass and rocking drum beats - with our songs driven home by melodic vocals. These are the elements that define the sound of Mall Suicide.

LA 92 (2017)
LA 92 is unlike any documentary I’ve ever seen. Few documentaries plunge you into the middle of a rioting city, into the bleeding heart of America itself. Made up entirely of archival footage, including home video, news reports, and behind-the-scenes images, the film tells the story of the violent destruction of much of L.A. following the Rodney King verdict in 1992. The film traces the city’s history of racial discrimination and police brutality that came to a head (once again) with the beating of Rodney King and the exoneration of the police officers by a primarily white jury.
The film begins with footage of the Watts riots in 1965 that followed the brutalizing of two African-American men by police officers. Moving forward to the 1990s, L.A. remained in turmoil, brought to a head when Rodney King was dragged from his car and beaten bloody by several LAPD officers. Not long after King’s beating, a Korean grocery store owner shot and killed fifteen-year-old Latasha Harlins over a carton of orange juice—the shooting, again, caught on the security camera. The owner was eventually convicted but the judge commuted the sentence of sixteen years in prison to community service and a fine. The King verdict, then, is seen in the light of more than thirty years of racial violence in L.A., and the fairly recent spate of violence against African-Americans that the American justice system failed utterly to punish.
The foment of anger and despair is palpable throughout LA 92, and the viewer is forced into close proximity with that anger. It’s impossible to trace the series of events, up close and personal, and fail to understand just what a searing and shocking miscarriage of justice the King verdict was. The energy and the anger is so intense in the lead up to the King verdict that it’s hardly surprising it boiled over into total violence. What is shocking is the degree of violence, and the film draws the viewer directly into the heart of the riots via footage filmed right at the ground level. Protests outside L.A. police departments turn into riots; marches meant to be peaceful boil over into burning and looting, as the city’s incredible fury finally erupts.
LA 92’s greatest strength is that it does not purport to be a political work—it simply shows what happened, and why. It’s a difficult film to watch as it shows, with an unflinching gaze, an American city transforming into a war zone, people bloodied, beaten, cars burned, buildings gutted, and citizens clashing with each other, while police and National Guard troops stand by and do nothing. The lack of concerted police response to the riots exposes a police department and a city government apparently unaware of the degree of anger surrounding the King verdict, and unable or unwilling to do their jobs and protect and serve the people of Los Angeles. There are images here that will be seared in the viewer’s memory: of a woman watching her shop burn, screaming at the unfairness of it; of a man dragged from a truck and beaten almost to death; of Korean shopkeepers arming themselves with automatic weapons to patrol in front of their shops like soldiers; of young men and women, howling in impotent rage, breaking and burning everything in their path because no one will give them justice; of King himself, nearly in tears, begging for it all to stop.
But LA 92 is far more than a historical document—it’s a warning. The film shows, in stark and certain terms, the consequences of a country refusing to provide its citizens, all of them, with the protection and the justice they deserve as human beings. What happened in L.A. in 1992 is not shocking at all, given the current events surrounding police brutality and violence against African-Americans in Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore, New York, and across the country. Nothing that happened in L.A. in 1992 was right—not the verdict, not the riots, not the government response, not the loss of life and of property, not the violence done against a city by its own people. But it is the result of an apparently incurable sickness in this nation, as we continue to refuse justice to people because of the color of their skin, as we continue to treat human beings like animals.
It happened before. It is going to happen again.
LA 92 is currently at the Tribeca Film Festival. It will premiere on National Geographic on April 30.

Buenos Aires, November 24th. Following, a brief of the most relevant issues related to the Argentine farming and agribusiness sectors.
1.- Next December 10th, a new government headed by Alberto Fernandez will take office, but the cabinet still remains unknown. In the last weeks, intense rumors circulated about who will run the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. Economist Gabriel Delgado (photo) appears as the name with more chances to be appointed for the position. Born at a little rural town in the Buenos Aires province, Coronel Suarez, he developed his career at the Agriculture Technology National Institute (INTA). From 2013 to 2015, he was the Secretary of Agriculture (a Deputy Minister, in fact) during the Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner second mandate. He was also appointed to run the Banco Provincia (one of the largest public banks in Argentina) if Peronist candidate Anibal Fernández won the government of the Buenos Aires province in 2015. Now, some doubts still persist on whether the Agriculture government branch will be a ministry or a secretariat. Formally, the cabinet will be presented next December 6th, and some analysts don’t discard that, at the last minute, Alberto Fernández finally appoints a candidate with a high politician profile.
2.- The next harvest will be not as large as the 2018/19 one. Past week, officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries carried out a meeting on 2019/20 harvest perspectives, saying that corn output will touch 53 million metric tons versus 58 last season, and soybean output would reach 51.5 MMT, versus fifty-six million. Barley harvest will move down one million metric tons to 4 million and wheat will decrease to 19 MMT from initial 21 MMT and 19.6 last year. This is not good news for the Alberto Fernandez team since a lower harvest represents fewer dollars for the economy.
3.- October marked a new month with foreign trade surplus, the 14th in a row. Soybean, cereals (mostly corn) and beef appear as the most dynamic products in comparison with 2018. Thanks to a better harvest, soybean exports resumed their normal levels, from US$754 million (Jan-Oct 2018) to US$2.085 million this year. On the other hand, biodiesel exports fell this year from US$820 to US$616.
4.- According to the Statistics and Census National Institute, sales of farm machinery grew in the third quarter of 2019. Harvesters headed the growth with a 54% increase YoY, while tractors 39%, planters 13% and sprayers 11%. Some media reported increasing exports of planters this year.
5.- The oilseed industry marked a record for an October month, crushing 3.9 million metric tons of soybean. The availability of raw material after a 56 MMT harvest facilitated the access of the industry to the bean. Since January, the oilseed industry crushed 35.6 MMT, the third-largest volume in its track record.
6.- There are some concerns about regulations over spraying of chemicals. Past week, the low chamber of the Santa Fe province, one of the most important agricultural provinces in Argentina, passed an amendment restricting aerial and ground-based sprayings. If the senators also approve the bill, ground-based spraying of chemicals will be prohibited less than 1,000 meters from urban areas and 5,000 meters for aerial sprayings.

York Water Rescue
A group of men and women...
The York Water Rescue Team is comprised of 11 men and women dedicated to helping others in need. Members are willing to put the needs of others ahead of their own in order to save lives at sea.
From early Spring until the late Fall, the team is available to respond 24/7, and in nearly any weather conditions. Extensive training ensures that the rescue boat is staffed for every call for help with crew members certified as Advanced Public Safety Rescue Swimmers, Fast Rescue Craft Operators, and Emergency Medical Technicians. In addition, some team members have also received training in Search and Recovery Diving and ice rescue techniques.
Search and Rescue is only part of the team's responsibilities. In order to remain in an operationally ready state, the team must maintain all of their gear, maintain the rescue boat, and continue to train throughout the season.
Just as important as Search and Rescue capabilities is public education and prevention of accidents in or around the water. The CCF will enable the team to provide better education to those within the community.

The OnPoint spotlight is an ongoing blog series that highlights our employees and takes a closer look at the drive and personality of individuals on the OnPoint team. It is one way we show our appreciation for their hard work and achievements while helping our community get to know the people who make things happen here at OnPoint.
This week, we are excited to spotlight Maritza Rich, Assistant Member Services Manager at our Montgomery Park Headquarters. Maritza joined OnPoint in 2014 and has called Member Services her family for almost seven years.
Here is what Maritza had to share about her life and experiences at OnPoint:
Tell us a little about yourself.
I was born in Colima, Mexico but have called Gresham, Oregon home since the late 1990s. I’m lucky to be married to a loving and hilarious man and that we share a beautiful 2-year-old boy. My family means everything to me and I love spending time with them when I’m not helping our OnPoint members.
What were you doing before joining OnPoint?
Before joining OnPoint, I was working with my family—we have many successful entrepreneurs! My father and brother run two Mexican food trucks in Boring and Sandy, Oregon. When I joined OnPoint, I started my career as a Member Services Specialist. I have held various positions in my department, leading to my most recent promotion as Assistant Member Services Manager. My team is so incredible! We are all here for the same reason: to provide excellent member service and create a positive and supportive experience.
Who inspires you?
My parents! We emigrated from Mexico in 1996, and they provided my brother and me with the American Dream by taking zero shortcuts. They’ve taught me what hard work looks like and the importance of always doing the right thing—especially when no one is watching.
What is the one thing that you are most proud of in this world?
My son Leo—he is gentle and kind like his dad and a little sassy like his momma. He is definitely the best thing I’ve ever created.
What is your favorite 90’s jam?
Everything in the ‘90s was a good jam! TLC’s “Creep” is one of my all-time favorites. I’m also a huge Selena Quintanilla fan!
Where is your favorite place in the world?
My favorite place in the world is my cozy home sitting right next to my husband and son with our two dogs, Lola and Grizzly. The next place is a beautiful little town in Mexico—Pihuamo Jalisco—where I was raised.
What have you learned in your career that you would like to share?
I’m still learning this, but the most valuable lessons have been to be myself in everything I do and not let the fear of getting it wrong get the best of me. We spend so much time overthinking, which can be more damaging sometimes than just taking action.

Choosing the right hashtag can be a relatively easy way to expand the reach of your content and get your photo, contest, etc. in front of more people.
Do you know the history of the hashtag? Hint: the hashtag is way older than Instagram and Twitter. Most people know # as a symbol for “pound” but did you also know that the lowly hashtag also represent the word “checkmate” in algebraic notation?
Tweets that include hashtags get twice the engagement and hashtag-less tweets — just limit yourself to two hashtags. On Instagram, 11 is the perfect number if you’re looking for interactions. The one place where hashtags don’t seem to be helpful is on Facebook: Facebook posts without hashtags have better reach, according to EdgeRank Checker.
Have hashtags helped you find a following on Instagram, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest or Twitter?
Thanks to Digital Marketing Philippines for this comprehensive look at the history of hashtags.

This appears to be the week all our cacti decided to bloom and it's been a banner year. They seem to be competing with one another, and the latest is this Escobaria vivipara with multiple bright pink blossoms. It was relocated from my brother-in-law's place near Tijeras, New Mexico, just east of Albuquerque.
It's known by several common names, but my favorite is Foxtail Cactus. We have been happy to have these in our yard for nearly three years now. I know it's definitely hardy as it gets far colder on the east side of Sandia Peak than it does here.
Also note the unusual spiral cactus in the background which remains unidentified. The cactus collection is growing quickly now since the drought increased my appreciation of cactus in the garden.

Meditation Series Pt. 1: --------------------------- 4 Reasons to Meditate ---------------------------
Guest Blogger: Reynelda Jones, LCSW, CADS, CMHIMP
The goal of this article is to share ways to find the areas in your life- where you can gain a sense of control, instead of allowing anxiety and other related disorders control you. I know that it is easier said than done! However, I encourage you to be open to applying some of the tips in this blog as to why adding mindfulness or movement meditation into your life is essential. Here are 4 top reasons why meditation should be a weekly component in your life. Stay tuned for parts 2-4.
1. Meditation improves mental and physical health: When a person experiences trauma it can physically change the brain’s wiring and structure. The area of the brain - the amygdala-which operates the “fight and flight” responses enlarges to compensate for the “on guard” mode it must default to in order to help an individual stay “prepared for danger” which may arise. However, research indicates that individuals who utilize meditation for at least 8 weeks not only reduce mental health conditions like anxiety and PTSD symptoms and physical health, but can also decrease the size of the amygdala leading to feeling more relaxed. Thus resulting in an increased ability to multitask and focused on the tasks at hand.
2. Meditation and Hygge: Hygge consists of creating memorable moments that often deliver “warm fuzzies.” Most of us desire to have positive experiences and moments to recall throughout our lives. This is even more so when a person has experienced unsafe and high stressed situations. Creating moments where you feel safe and at a state of rest is the ultimate relief for someone who experiences symptoms of high anxiety or hypervigilance from PTSD. Read more about Hygee-Mindfulness Intensified here
3. Meditations help improve relationships: Relationships are difficult because it consists of two people with different backgrounds, views, and values. Together they are working to find a way to make the two worlds cooperate. Although difficult, having more stress and different love languages can greatly increase the likely hood of an unsuccessful relationship. As meditation helps to relieve a couple from stress, each person is able to listen and be more present with his/her partner, thus leading the opposite partner to feel heard and understood.
4. Meditation is easy on the adrenal glands: The adrenal glands help to support the "fight or flight" response. When the glands have overworked the likelihood of illness, pain within the body and mind increases. Read here about Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome.
Summary: Meditation provides a number of benefits such as the ability to improve focus, physically change the brain, reduce the overuse of adrenal glands, and reduce stress. Thus, this can improve your relationships with the people whom you love, as well as, improve your body’s overall functioning. Because of the benefits of meditation- various forms of meditation are available and are highly recommended as a tool to improve mental wellness and physical wellness. Stay tuned for parts 2-4 within this meditation series! Check out the free Body Scan Meditation below.

CHESTER — Sunny skies and warm temperatures added up to ideal conditions for Steve and Kathy Barbieri to start the holiday season at their antique and crafts shop in Chester Borough.
Instead, the Barbieris’ retail trade took a severe knock when a construction crew began tearing up the asphalt outside to embark on a water-line project early Friday, closing a block of Main Street just off Route 206.
Black Friday, they said, had turned into Black Tar Friday.
"Usually we have a line right about this time," Steve Barbieri said about 2 p.m. as contractors shoveled and raked hot tar into one of two shallow trenches inside a perimeter of red traffic cones.
Inside Chester Crafts, Collectibles & Antiques, a half-dozen people perused the shop’s collection. "We’re off 50 percent so far today," he said.
Neither the Barbieris — Kathy Barbieri is president of the Historic Chester Business Association — nor other shopkeepers on the thoroughfare dotted with independent shops and small eateries said they had any inkling that the project was imminent.
Despite a name that conjures the small-town charms and understated grace that are plentiful in Chester Borough this time of year, Main Street is in fact Morris County Road 24, which could partly explain why the Barbieris and other shop owners were not apprised of the project. "I don’t know that the town was notified," borough Mayor Robert Davis said.
Neither county road officials nor the owner of the building that rents to the Barbieris could be reached for comment Friday.
Barbara Collins, who has owned and run a home furnishings boutique called The Whistling Elk a block from the Barbieris’ shop, said the episode could hurt business owners already dealing with hardships. "It’s really a travesty that they would do construction on a day that we need to do business," rather than on a Monday when several shops are closed, she said. As contractors finished the road work and packed up about 3 p.m., Steve Barbieri hoped for another start to the season.
"It will be dark in an hour," he said.

27 years of providing
Sound Healing, Color Therapy and Chi Movement for the Soul!
Tama-Do ("The Way of the Soul") Academy, created in 1988 by Fabien Maman, the founding father of vibrational sound therapy (Websters’ Dictionary), is dedicated to the evolution of Human Consciousness through research, teachings and creative self-expression. With a summer base in Europe and a Sound Garden in Malibu, California, we offer courses in non-invasive techniques using Sound Healing, Color Therapy and Qi Gong Movement® and Seasonal Harmonizing Concerts® to ground the Soul in daily life.
Our Way of the Soul Master Classes (weekend courses) are for those with limited time, who wish to further expand their consciousness through physical, spiritual and cosmic exploration.
And our Shamanic Journeys of the Soul, created by Faery/Shaman Terres Unsoeld, offer Sacred Druidic initiations in the heart of Nature, to re-Source our Selves through Group and Self exploration.
Fabien Maman, the Master Guide of Tama-Do, is a musician, composer, acupuncturist, researcher, healer, teacher, bio-energetician and martial artist. In 1977 he became an acupuncturist, creating the now famous system which uses tuning forks instead of needles on acupuncture command points.
In the early 80’s, Fabien Maman conducted a revolutionary sound/cellular biology experiment showing for the first time under the microscope, the impacts of acoustic sound on human cells and their energy fields. His findings, documented in spectacularly beautiful slides, changed the landscape of Sound Healing as we know it today.
Level I Professional
in Malibu, California
Classes begin in November !

June 17-July 1, 2016
Fabien Maman believes that “blockages in our subtle energy fields can result in physical illness if they are allowed to crystallize, and Sound Healing, Color Therapy, Qi Gong Movement Therapy and Seasonal Harmonizing Concerts® are the most effective tools we can use to dissolve these negative energetic patterns.
For nearly 30 years, Fabien Maman has created research and practical applications to balance the body, mind and spirit through the subtle energy fields. Divinely inspired, yet grounded in the Classical traditions of Music Theory, Mathematics, Chinese Medicine, Aikido, Kototama and Astrology, Maman has created more than 30 techniques through his Academy, each of which, took nearly seven years to test and apply. He is in the process of creating at least 20 more.

I like to push boundaries and explore new concepts to make learning fun, engaging and learner centered. The learning space has changed, it's time now to cut through the buzz words and actually deliver on these learning trends.

We want to help, support and guide organisations and make a difference in this learning space I work in an industry I love, where I get to educate, create and innovate.

As an edtech specialist, I have helped hundreds of teachers of all subjects and abilities integrate technology in their teaching. I love the challenges brought by change, how the non-quantifiable, the ‘dark forces’ and ‘law of unintended consequences’ can unsettle even the most well-planned projects. Change is a fun, if bumpy, ride!

(Natural News) Airplane cabins are blanketed with germs, so it’s easy to catch a disease if you don’t take extra measures to protect yourself. The odds of travelers carrying the flu on an airplane are especially high during flu season. Your risk of catching the flu is higher still in airplanes because you are in tight quarters sharing air with other passengers that could be sick.
It is very likely that bacteria are lurking on the seat back pocket, armrests, tray tables, the window shades, and lavatories. Researchers at Auburn University, in Alabama, investigated where bacteria could live long enough to cause disease in airplane passengers. They found that bacteria live in the seat pockets for eight days, rubber armrest and leather seat for a week, plastic window shade and tray table for three days, and steel toilet handle for two days. (Related: Airplane trays, seats and blankets are covered in fecal matter and bacteria, research shows.)
Here are some things you can do to protect yourself from airplane cooties.
- Avoid using the airplane lavatory – Toilets provide the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive, and the ones on airplanes are no exception. Try to empty your bladder beforehand and avoid drinking too many fluids before or during your flight. This will prevent you from needing to use the toilet. If you must go, use a napkin, towel, or a sanitary wipe to open the door latch. Then, throw it away. To open the bathroom door inward, use your elbow. Before sitting on the toilet, use a sanitary wipe or seat cover for it. It is also important to remember that the area around the small sink is also full of germs.
- Stay hydrated – When the mucous membranes in your nose and mouth start to dry out, your risk of catching the flu becomes higher. Pack a small bottle of nasal spray and lubricate your nose before you board and during mid-flight if it’s a long one.
- Pick a window seat – Many people like the aisle seat because they can easily access the restroom. However, it also makes them prone to the germs of every single person walking down the aisle. A window seat will reduce your exposure to these germs.
- Avoid touching surfaces that you don’t need to touch – Generally, avoid touching things that are not yours, such as those magazines in the seat back pocket in front of you.
- Wipe everything – Sanitize the armrests, seat belt, and tray table with wipes (and only if you need to use the tray table).
- Avoid using the seat back pockets – They tend to accumulate all sorts of stuff from other passengers.
- Hold your breath if someone coughs or sneezes nearby – Hold your breath for several seconds, or longer if you can, when someone coughs or sneezes. If you don’t, you might breathe in the germs that person is releasing.
- Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose – The flu and other germs can enter through your eyes, nose, and mouth. So, if you touch your potentially contaminated hands to these body parts, you most likely will get ill.
- Cover any open wounds – If you have any cuts, deep scrapes, or wounds, cover them up with band-aids before getting on an airplane. An exposed cut or even a small skin tear can be an easy entry point for the flu or other germs into your bloodstream.
Prevention is always better than cure, so the next time you’re traveling by air, remember to follow these prevention tips.

MSNBC Suffers Sharp Drop from Average Thursday Ratings with Trump Town Hall; Fox Soars to 1M in Primetime Demo
NBC’s last-minute decision to host a town hall for President Donald Trump ended up penalizing its own cable news network, MSNBC, which experienced a sharp drop from its previous month’s average Thursday ratings at 8:00 p.m.
Across all three of its channels, NBC reached 13.0 million viewers with its hour-long Trump town hall. But those ratings fell noticeably short of ABC News’ simultaneous town hall with Democratic challenger Joe Biden, which won the duel in political programming with 13.9 million.
MSNBC’s share of the Trump town hall audience came to 1.83 million total viewers. But as All In host Chris Hayes noted on Twitter on Friday, his 8:00 p.m. audience for the three days before the town hall averaged nearly 20 percent higher ratings. And the town hall’s number was also an even steeper 30 percent drop from the previous Thursday’s overall audience.
Our three shows this week before the town hall averaged 2.25 million, so yes.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) October 16, 2020
While that storyline played out on MSNBC, Fox News was soaring to huge numbers in primetime. Thanks to Hannity and The Ingraham Angle blowing past the seven-figure viewer mark in the coveted 25 – 54 age demographic, Fox averaged an even one million viewers in the demo during Thursday primetime. That easily surpassed the higher A25 – 54 numbers also seen by CNN (649,000) and MSNBC (585,000). In overall viewers, Fox cracked the five million viewer mark, which was barely exceeded by the combined total viewers of CNN (2.23 million) and MSNBC (2.87 million).
From 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Fox also claimed cable news victory on Thursday. In the demo, it won with 569,000 viewers, besting CNN’s 390,000 and MSNBC’s 301,000. Overall, Fox News landed in first with 3.06 million total viewers, while MSNBC came in second with 1.76 million, and CNN trailed behind with 1.40 million.

End of Life Option Act

Physician Mentoring Program
Physician and Resident Services
Sponsorship Request Application
CENTRAL COAST, CA – March 1, 2018 – Arroyo Grande Community Hospital (AGCH), French Hospital Medical Center (FHMC), and Marian Regional Medical Center (MRMC), which are Dignity Health Central Coast hospitals, recognize the significance of March as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. In acknowledgment of this month, Marian Cancer Care at Mission Hope Cancer Center is pleased to offer an informational session to explain the importance of a colonoscopy.
Over 75 percent of colon and rectal cancers occur in individuals with no known risk factors and they often begin with no symptoms. Dignity Health Central Coast encourages a proactive approach to intercepting this cancer in its earliest stages with regular screenings and the resources necessary to make informed health care decisions.
In acknowledgement of this prevalent disease, Marian Cancer Care at Mission Hope Cancer Center is offering a Colorectal Cancer Informational Session by expert Gastroenterologist Atul B. Vachhani, MD. The event will be free to the public and will discuss risk factors, screening recommendations, what to expect during a colonoscopy, and the latest treatment options for colorectal cancer. It will be held on Tuesday, March 13 at 5:30p.m. at Mission Hope Cancer Center, 1325 East Church Street, Santa Maria. Reservations are required for the event by calling 805.219.HOPE (4673).
Both men and women are equally at risk for colon cancer and the risk of developing colorectal cancer increases with age. Screening tests for colorectal cancer should begin soon after turning 50 and continue at regular intervals or at the recommendation of a physician. Although colorectal cancer is most common among people age 50 and older, it can also occur in teenagers. The majority of colon cancers appear in individuals with no known risk factors, which is why regular screenings are so important.
March serves as a gentle reminder of an annual screening colonoscopy, but colon health is of great importance to us all year long. Understanding the disease is essential for anyone who has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and for those who are trying to prevent it. With early detection and regular screenings, colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable. For more information, please call oncology Nurse Navigator Carol Lowe, RN, OCN at 805.346.3463.
About Dignity Health Central Coast
Dignity Health Central Coast is comprised of five hospitals, all recognized for their quality of care, safety and service, primary care offices, premier ambulatory surgery centers, technologically advanced imaging centers, outpatient services and comprehensive home health services. Hospitals in the Dignity Health Central Coast region include Arroyo Grande Community Hospital in Arroyo Grande, French Hospital Medical Center in San Luis Obispo, Marian Regional Medical Center in Santa Maria, St. John’s Pleasant Valley Hospital in Camarillo and St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard.

Sheila Pratt introduced me to the most handsome black Labrador called Ben back in January 2005 after I had lost my previous black lab Toby that had come from the Lab Rescue Trust. Ben was 15 years and 10 months old when yesterday we made the hardest decision. Attached is a picture of him just last week waiting to get out of the car for a walk (albeit a slow, wobbly one) but I have had the most incredible almost 13 years with him and already miss him terribly.
I have also sent a couple of pictures of him with my other Lab Rescue, Paddy who joined our family back in February 2009.
Sad times at the moment but many happy memories.

Vera Lucia Diniz de Jesus, mother of Manchester City teenage sensation, Gabriel Jesus, has said that none of his boys she single handedly raised in a poor district of Sao Paulo will impregnate a woman he is not married to.

‘I will never accept that my son disrespects the daughters of others. No son of mine is going to get someone else’s daughter pregnant. I demand respect because I raised all three of them on my own, with the help of God,’ was quoted as saying by Daily Mail.
The paper reports that the overbearing mother of Manchester City’s new £27million wonderkid has always been firmly in charge of his affairs, to the extent she received his salary so as ‘to keep his feet on the ground’.
The report said in a recent interview, she said: ‘Girlfriends have to live by my rules, and they’ll be no heavy kissing. Staying over, only once in a while.”
To prove he is mummy’s boy, Gabriel has a tattoo on his body which reads: ‘Every step I make, every road I take, every path I choose, your hand will guide me, Vera Lucia.’
He said she would have prevented him from doing the tattoo had it been she knew about his plan to do it, explaining : ‘The tattoo I had done, I didn’t tell her that I was going to do it, but when I got home, my mother was much calmer when she saw that her name was on it.
‘She liked it more than I did, so she didn’t scold me too much. She controls me a lot with this question of tattoos, she doesn’t let me go out getting myself tattooed.’

Arizona Diamondbacks Imitate Bad News Bears, Lose 4-0 to Pittsburgh Pirates
While being shut-out by the Pittsburgh Pirates isn't embarrassing like it once was, most of last night's 4-0 loss for the Diamondbacks was hard to watch.
The Pirates' Erik Bedard is a completely average MLB pitcher. His career win/loss record is even, his ERA this year is about 4.50, and he throws fastballs in the high 80s for strikes.
Last night, he threw seven innings, giving up just two hits while striking out five.
Paul Goldschmidt got both hits off Bedard -- the only two Diamondbacks hits in the game -- and were really the only high points for the Snakes last night.
Did D-backs starter Wade Miley mess this game up? No, not even close.
He was tagged for six hits over six innings, but he didn't give up a single earned run.
This, however, actually happened:
Well, he missed anyway, and managed to get very confused about where the ball could have possibly gone after he biffed it.
Since Andrew McCutchen was heading for second on the play, Young had an easy throw of what appears to be less than 50 feet to easily gun him.
Instead, he one-hops it to Willie Bloomquist, with that hop coming about a foot in front of Bloomquist's glove.
McCutchen landed on third, on what could have been an out, and what was definitely no more than a single.
McCutchen would end up scoring, and that's how Miley was pegged with a loss.
There were three errors for the Diamondbacks last night -- arguably a fourth, although it was ruled a hit -- and the Pirates added on three more runs in the eighth inning to put the game out of reach.
Now on a three-game losing streak, the Diamondbacks play the second of a four-game series against the Pirates in Pittsburgh tonight. Patrick Corbin gets the start against Jeff Karstens.

A long time ago, there was a restaurant called Mama Rosa located in Timog QC that not only served homemade Filipino cuisine, but also had a small store where they sold their own brand of sauces and dressings. Its owners, a pair of siblings, named the restaurant ‘Mama Rosa’ after their late mother. The Timog branch grew to become really successful, that they opened up a second restaurant in Eastwood.
Unfortunately though, all good things had to come to an end – Both restaurants had to close down due to one of the owners suffering from several health problems. But it turns out, that was not the end of Mama Rosa’s restaurants – A new branch quietly re-opened in Kapitolyo several years later, with a brand new menu.
I vaguely remember eating at the old Mama Rosa restaurant in Eastwood twice when I was younger, and it never really occurred to me that the Mama Rosa here in Kapitolyo and the one in Eastwood were the same restaurant. Since it was located in Kapitolyo, I expected everything to be affordable, and as delicious as their previous incarnation was.
Interior + Deli.
Menu: Appetizers, Soups, Salads, Main courses (Fish/shellfish, Meats, Vegetables, Pasta/Noodles), Rice, Dessert.
Guinataang Sigarilyas – Sauteed winged beans with smoked fish, simmered in coconut cream. Also comes in a spicy version.
Sinaing na Tulingan in Olive Oil – Slow-cooked tulingan (aka bullet tuna) in olive oil, dried kamias, and capers. Garnished with olives and finger chilies.
Halaan – Manila clams in sake-spiked, ginger flavored broth with pepper leaves.
Mango Chicken – Fried chicken marinated in soy sauce, kalamansi, shallots, and stuffed with green mango and lemongrass. Served with liver sauce and soy-kalamansi-green mango dip. Supposed to be one of their bestsellers. The chicken skin was light and crisp, but it had way too many bones in it. Meat was dry and tasteless, too. The dip/liver sauce, along with the skin, was pretty much this dish’s only saving grace.
As I mentioned earlier, I can’t even remember what the old Mama Rosa’s food tasted like, but… I sincerely hope it wasn’t as mediocre as this one. I can’t really tell if I made a mistake with my order, but… Ugh. I didn’t like the chicken at all. Even the appetizer tasted better >< I really hope they can improve their food so they won’t tarnish the real mama Rosa’s legacy.
Food: 2.5/5 (taste), 3/5 (presentation)
Mama Rosa is located at 9 E Capitol Dr Kapitolyo, Pasig. Tel no: (02) 928-5893. Links: Facebook.

Everything external is shaking and changing and moving to an uncertain, but certain, future. Ending. Beginning. I’m not sure which. My kids are growing, my husband and I are aging, the times they are a changin’, but all of that is external.
Inside, things basically stay the same, right? We basically feel the same and think the same and look at things the same as we did yesterday. Maybe change inside is imperceptible. Maybe our days are long strings built thick, fiber by fiber, stronger each week, and it will take a year of hindsight to really see we are changing, inside, too. We are thickening.
I’ve been working on some plans for the future which required a looking back, just back to the last year but back…and I thought I was good at this. I thought I specialized in reminiscing and reflecting. Turns out, my introspection is more about what’s up, inside, right now.
I’m not good at looking around.
I work on this by looking at people and wondering what they are introspecting. With my kids, I ask too many nosy questions and if I’m suspicious I’ll just come right out and ask the most embarrassing things. They are shocked. I tell them this is my job. Then I’m embarrassed. Then I brush over all the questions that naturally ensue and am back to introspecting my own self. Looking in on me. Looking at everything spoken into existence (Genesis 1) as it relates to me—the trees the grass the birds the flowers—all for me.
Looking back at what happened in the last year was not easy. Not very many things came to mind. I had to consult Google for my calendar, and two bullet journals for the details of the year. I looked through my Bible journal. I scrolled my Instagram feed. Turns out lots of things happened in the last year, things worth remembering and things better forgotten or learned from, but I had to consult external sources to bring them to mind. I am not google. I do not store the shifting, changing, moving of a year. Do I?
Things are changing outside and my insides stay wrapped up in immediate needs and those daydreams, the conversations, the letters, the things. Thank God for calendars and pictures and paper-recordings of life. Thank God for time keeping. Thank God for God.
God is all-consuming. My mind is slow but steady and I feed it a diet but is it good? Is it nourishing? It is full, I know that. With everything stretching away from me and daydreams to keep up with and conversations to have, to really have in really-real life, my mind is full and I never think it can take on more. It can’t take on more. My mind is full. Consumed.
God is all-consuming and my thoughts are too thoroughly digested. I have them all, I look at them frequently and evaluate them but I seldom chuck the useless ones quickly enough. I hold on to them a second too long and they latch, like donuts to the waist. The pants are tight these days, the thoughts have lingered.
God is all-consuming and I haven’t made sufficient room. No. That’s not right. God doesn’t need room in my thoughts—He is room. Space and time and forever that is unshaken, unchanging, unmoving. God is external and internal, if I let Him be. If I welcome Him to be. I can frame all the thoughts in light of His presence and see them illuminate or darken. Consumed in Him.
|Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. \\Hebrews 12:28-29 NKJV\\|
I actually have held on to the shifts and changes and all that has moved through. I have the events in my fibers, thick ropes stretching long into almost 41 years now. Young. Old. I’m not sure which but I’m sure it doesn’t matter. God is all-consuming and I am feeble in the fire, burned in a gaze and thankful.
All those thoughts in captivity are subject to becoming ashes; all my thoughts before Him are consumed one way or another, eternal and beginning. God is all-consuming and the best parts of me are soaked in His word and presence and grace; fireproof, everlasting. The best parts of me are not worried about change or devoured by my own thoughts. I am all-consumed.

Decadence After Dark #5
Author: M. Never
Genre: Dark Erotic Romance
Release Date: October 12, 2016
“You don’t know what he’s capable of.” “You don’t know what I’m capable of.”
Jett Fox has been surrounded by women his entire life. He knows what makes them tick, how to make them feel beautiful, and how to work their feminine wiles to his advantage. Honing sexuality is in his blood.
It’s his gift.
Jett is accustomed to women eating out of the palm of his hand, but when a tall, mysterious, redheaded goddess strolls into Mansion – his domain – the eccentric Dom finds himself enamored. She becomes an obsession in his dark, secretive, and dangerous underworld – a world that appears one way on the outside but is entirely different within.
Forced to maintain the ruse at all costs, he’ll walk a treacherous line between allegiance and lust, deliberately deceiving the one woman who means anything to him.
But the mysterious redhead has secrets of her own – secrets inlaid so deep they could threaten to tear both their hearts, and worlds, and livelihoods apart.
You’ve been claimed by Kayne…seduced by Juice… now it’s time to live Elicitly with Jett.
Author: M. Never
5 KINK Review
If you want dark, dirty and delicious, M. Never’s Decadent After Dark is your mecca! When I saw Jett was getting his story, I was all on it like a chocolate chip cookie monster. We learn about the journey between Jett and London in a seductive and dangerous tale of dark yearning. Jett is a hero to inspire amazing wicked dreams and London is the strongest female character who is not afraid and accepts the life she lives. After learning about her past, your heart will soar with her happy ending.
Whether you want to indulge in M/F/M or F/F, or a good ‘ole (insert spoiler here), Elicit will provide a boundless variety that will have you curling your toes and craving for more.
The best part of Jett’s story is the fact that you get to experience the before and after of Ellie with Kayne. If this is the last of the Decadent After Dark series, I may be a little teary eye.
Elicit was amazing and delivered everything I want. It was an easy read and tailored to all the warm spots I expect to tingle when I read this series. Don’t miss Elicit. It’s filled with everything a dark erotica romance reader needs for a one-hand read.
M. Never resides in New York City. When she’s not researching ways to tie up her characters in compromising positions, you can usually find her at the gym kicking the crap out of a punching bag, or eating at some new trendy restaurant. She has a dependence on sushi and a fetish for boots. Fall is her favorite season. She is surrounded by family and friends she wouldn’t trade for the world and is a little in love with her readers. The more the merrier. So make sure to say hi!

On Nov. 2, 2008, the Phoenix Mars Lander stopped phoning home. Sitting in the Martian Arctic, suffering a slow death due to sunlight deprivation (the sun was dropping low on the Red Planet’s horizon, reducing the amount of energy its solar panels could collect), the mission was officially dead.
However, now that the Martian northern hemisphere is entering summer, some scientists are excited about the possibility of thawing Phoenix. If this is possible, perhaps the Phoenix could live up to its name and rise from the ashes (or, in this case, ice).
But is that a possibility? Not really. But there’s hope! And where Mars missions are concerned, there’s usually a surprise in store. (Although you won’t find me placing a bet on these odds.)
“We start listening in January for signals from our lander,” said Peter Smith, Phoenix principal investigator at the Lunar and Planetary Lab at the University of Arizona in Tucson. “Our engineering team is quite curious to see how resilient the electronic systems are to the extreme cold of northern winter.”
But these ‘extremes’ are very extreme.
Although the lander was frozen to a temperature of -67 F (-55 °C) during tests on Earth, it is thought that Phoenix has endured a Mars winter low of -195 F (-126 °C). That’s nearly three times colder than the lander was tested to endure. As a comparison, the coldest temperature recorded on Earth is -128.6 F (-89.2 °C) on July 21, 1983 in Russia.
The electronics on board Phoenix have a built-in “Lazarus mode” — a system that restores functions to the robot after extended periods of sleep (or deep-freeze) — but I’m very dubious that even if communications to Phoenix could be restored, any useful science would be hard to come by.
But that doesn’t stop the ever-positive Phoenix team from trying.
“Clearly, future use of Phoenix instruments depends on the health of the system,” Smith said. “If it fully recovers then we would start with an imaging campaign and measure soil properties with TECP [the thermal and electrical-conductivity probe], then progress to digging beneath the surface to see if the ice table has changed depth.”
So we’ll just have to wait and see if we hear from our chilly robot on Mars in January, but if we do hear from Phoenix, I won’t expect it to do any science. I think its digging days are over.

Grok comes out of the Zope community, and has its foundation in the rather mature components of that application server. The difference is that tying bits of Grok together does not rely on seemingly arcane xml files. You just code in Python and a bit of TAL for the views. If you want you can leverage in more bits from the Zope world, such as zope.formlib and other interesting bits.
It is a matter of public record that I have a like/hate relationship with zope.formlib.
There are some really nice things I discovered about Grok:
- Only one magic bit, in that class defined as views look for their lowercase template automatically, and you can override this if you like.
- The framework is out of the way.
- Inheriting models is a cinch.
- Lets you play with either the ZODB or SQL ORMs.
- Easy use of TAL.
- A possible gotcha when you instantiate an object inside another object requires you to do a super(MyObject, self).__init__() inside the object's __init__. Not sure why I should have to write this out and it might be I did something wrong.
- Um... still trying to find faults.

Our clinic today was in the same yard as an elementary school so we had a lot of children running around, we even tried to teach them how to do the “floss” dance.
Victor and I went on two home visits – one to see an elderly man who had fractured his femur and had two surgeries back in December and needed pain control, and the other to see a young 6 year old boy who is a known epileptic and has had a decreased appetite for the last few days. He also has weekly follow up appointments at the Mbale Hospital.
We finally found the perfect lucky lady for the St. Paddy’s Day hat, scarf and socks.
This lady was so happy about her new pants that she had tears in her eyes!

Estonia to Unveil Cultural Heritage of Maritime Communities in 2016
Aiming to highlight the importance of the sea for cultural and economic development of Estonia, the country’s Ministry of Culture has dedicated the year 2016 to maritime culture and traditions of coastal communities. Throughout the year, a number of thematic events will be organised to unveil the marvels of the sea and promote its values for life and work of people in Estonia. This way, the initiative will support conservation of Estonian maritime heritage and contribute to its enhancement in future.
As stated in a related press release, the Year of Maritime Culture will particularly emphasize human connections to the sea and the ways it has shaped the life, skills and the cultural development of Estonian ancestors, thus creating relevant resources for present generations.
“The Maritime Heritage is not only involved in the protection of physical artifacts, but also in increasing appreciation of the many human connections to the sea. This heritage can be found in the traditions and experience of the people who place a high value on the coastal region as their living environment and for whom the sea is simultaneously work, food and entertainment.”
During a number of cultural festivals that will be taking place in Estonia throughout the year, the visitors will be able to learn about old and traditional skills of their ancestors, as well as the culture they shared. One of the events that will focus on this aspect in particular is a coastal trip that will enable visitors to explore the entire coast and islands of Estonia. The trip is planned to take place on 24 Saturdays from April to October 2016 and its focus will be to present customs, skills and present culture of contemporary coastal dwellers, who represent the carriers of maritime heritage.
In addition to this, Estonia will dedicate multiple other festivals to celebrating maritime culture. Some of these include Tallin Maritime Days, the largest sea-themed family event in Estonia.
With the 2016 European Heritage Days being focused on communities, the celebration of maritime culture and coastal communities in Estonia represents an interesting aspect to observe in relation to the theme.

Is it difficult to survive in English while traveling in Japan?
It really depends on where you go in Japan, but in general, you may encounter difficulties to some extent if you only speak English while traveling in Japan. Especially, if you are outside of central parts of Tokyo you may want to do some research ahead of time as to where you want to go and how you can get to a destination. You can also use google translate or other translation apps to ask questions to locals when you get lost. Especially in countryside of Japan, people may get agitated if you only speak to them in English so I would highly recommend to learn some easy phrases such as “Where is ~?”, “How to get to ~?” “How much is ~?”, etc. in Japanese. People here in Japan are mostly friendly and are willing to help foreign visitors if they are in trouble.
Why Japanese people don’t speak good English in general?
I would say that is because we have very limited opportunities to speak in English while living in Japan. Our official language is Japanese, of course and we hardly speak in English at school or at work if you work for Japanese company. Basically, we can survive without speaking in English in Japan. However, we do learn English at school. In fact, these days, children start learning English as soon as they enter elementary school, which continues until they are in high school. The entrance exam to universities normally include English subject which can be at a highly-advanced level if you are applying for top schools in Japan. Yes, we know advanced English grammar, in general. We just don’t have much chance to use it in practice.
All you need is a bit of patience when speaking in English with Japanese people. Most of the time, we do understand if native speakers speak English clearly and slowly.

They just posted more points info on the cache page

Everybody loves numbers, eh?
I think earlier I neglected the (semi)-Official finals. Here they are.

West Texas 1539 pts
Centex 1418 pts

Yes, we may have made some scoring errors in our haste to get to the

would have made a difference.
Centex did have an unfortunate incident that cost them about 7
scorecards. Again, just for grins and assuming those cards were at
least average cards, we can extrapolate some theoretical scores.
Those 7 scorecards could have increased their card average by a
little over 10% and would have been enough to not only claim the
scorecard average title but put them very close to 2nd place overall.
Too close to call based on assumptions only.
So congratulations to them for being that competitive without the
benefit of the evil hide points. They were also missing some of their
best puzzle solvers at home. So for those of you thinking about
taking the title next year, that is where my money is. But I

Danish Surrealist painter, sculptor, collagist, printmaker, draughtsman, designer, and film-maker, well known for the explicit erotic quality of his work, which often caused controversy. He was born in Copenhagen and studied briefly at the Academy there, but he was essentially self-taught. In 1929 he was introduced to Surrealism by the magazine La Révolution surréaliste, and he became a pioneer of the movement in Denmark. His early work was influenced by the highly detailed style of Dalí, but it later moved towards abstraction. He first made a major public impact in 1937, when, as Sarane Alexandrian wrote (Surrealist Art, 1970), ‘there were angry scenes at his Copenhagen exhibition “Sex-Surreal”, which included “sado-masochistic interiors” and “sensual objects”. One protestor was so infuriated that he hurled himself on Freddie on the day of the opening and tried to strangle him. The gallery was closed by the police, who confiscated the works on show, some of which…went to their “black museum”, from which Freddie was not able to retrieve them until much later.’ (In 1961, he provoked a reopening of the case and succeeded in having the country's obscenity laws revised.) During the Second World War, Denmark was occupied by the Germans and his work was declared degenerate, prompting him to flee to Sweden, where he lived from 1944 to 1950. After his return to Denmark, his work was gradually found more acceptable by the public. He received several decorative commissions and from 1973 to 1979 he was a professor at the Copenhagen Academy.

Delicious and good for you
The other day while out looking for edible plants, I came across some cones from the digger pines, also sometimes called gray pines. These cones were still intact and had not dropped their seeds, often called pine nuts.
I spent a bit of time and opened one. The digger pines have one of the harder cones and you will need a hammer or a big rock to open them. However, it is worth it you can get a good handful of nuts from one cone.
The individual seeds or nuts then need to be removed from their shell. This is a bit of work and a good pair of pliers will be a big help. If you don’t have the right kind of pliers, I used a Gerber Multi-tool I had with me and this worked just fine. Unshelled pine nuts have a long shelf life if kept dry and refrigerated. Shelled nuts (and unshelled nuts in warm conditions) deteriorate rapidly, becoming rancid within a few weeks or even days in warm humid conditions
There are about twenty species of pines that produce seeds large enough to be worth harvesting. In North America, the main species are three of the pinyon pines, Colorado Pinyon , Single-leaf Pinyon, and Mexican Pinyon. Eight other pinyon species are used to a small extent — the Gray Pine or digger pine, Coulter Pine, Torrey Pine , Sugar Pine and Parry Pinyon.
The following information on how the Native Americans collected pine nuts is from this website, Pine Nut.
- The pine nut is large and an excellent food source. It is, however, relatively difficult to harvest and requires a substantial group effort to do so. The pine nut harvest began in the late summer and lasted into the fall. It was essentially the last big food-gathering opportunity of the year before retirement into winter lowland quarters. It occurred at intermediate elevations in arid upland hills where junipers and pinions tend to grow. It was a significant social occasion, and most Great Basin people held these regions to be sacred ground. If you don’t happen to live near a source of pine nuts, you can buy them in bulk.
- Over the last two thousand years, the pine nut sustained these peoples. The pine nuts required substantial processing and, then, they could be stored for later use. Utilization of pine nuts required technological innovations. While nuts can easily be picked from the ground-fallen cones of the pinyon pine (pinus monophyllia), they are rarely good for human consumption by that time and the crop has been substantially reduced by insects and small mammals.
- The pine nut came to be a useful staple food because only after the people learned how to harvest the nut prior to the final ripening stage of the cone. The technology for achieving a pine-nut harvest was messy and complex, and it was practiced communally. In fact, pine-nut harvest defined the great social time of the year, being the greatest gathering of the people in the concentrated areas of sacred lowland pinyon forest. People went to the forests in the early fall before the cones had fully ripened and dropped. They began with “first fruit” celebrations that confirmed the sacred significance of the food and established their respect for the forests.
- When harvest began, the men pulled cones from the trees using tools made from large willow branches equipped with a sturdy V-shaped hook at the end. Women and children piled the cones in burden baskets (usually large conical wicker baskets carried on one’s back with a cordage band across the forehead). At this point, the cones were just at the point of opening and were usually full of pine pitch.
- In camps surrounding the forest harvesting grounds, the pine cones were processed. This began by roasting the pine cones around hot coals, turning them often, to cause them to open up. Then, the cones could be beaten lightly to cause the nuts to fall out. When a supply of nuts was available, these required further processing since the nuts were covered by a soft brown shell. Cracking this shell would be difficult and would injure the fruit inside The nuts were processed by placing them on a basketry tray with hot coals from the fire. Once introduced together, the whole mass was kept in constant motion, throwing them up and swirling the tray, until the shells were roasted to a hard, crisp dark brown. The coals were removed at this point and the nuts were poured onto a grinding stone where they were lightly pounded with a mano until all of the shells had cracked and falled free of the inner fruit.
- Cracked pinenuts are yellow-orange, translucent and soft. They can be eaten at this point and are delicious. Far more pine nuts were harvested than could be eaten raw so they needed to be processed further. At this point, the nuts were returned to a winnowing tray and thrown repeatedly into the air to allow the cracked shells to be carried off by the wind. When the shells were all gone, hot coals were returned to the tray and the roasting process was repeated until the nuts were dry and hard, somewhat darker in color.
- At this point, the nuts could be stored in large basketry storage containers for later use. Dried nuts could still be eaten without further processing but the usual procedure was to make a pine-nut flour by grinding them. They were returned to the grinding stone and the mano was used to pound them lightly until they were well fragmented. Grinding was achieved with small amounts quickly so that the fine flour could be pushed off the metate forward into a bowl or onto a tray. A soap-root brush light be used to move the pine-nut flour on the tray. When enough flour was available, it could be warmed in water to make a thick paste; then the paste could be reduced, by dilution, to make whatever consistency was desired. While pine-nut mush may not sound especially appealing, addition of berries, various leafy vegetables, and/or ground meat or fish made it a feast.
Different tribes and cultures collected the nuts by different methods. Here is a small excerpt from the book, Survival Skill of Native California, by Paul D Campbell. If you live in California, I strongly suggest you get a copy of this book.
I suggest that you investigate the pine trees that live if your area and see if you can gather the seeds for food.
12 thoughts on “How to Collect Pine Nuts”
Great article live in southern Oregon so will investigate the pine trees here love pine seeds!
Wow, great informational article. We just harvested some here in Ca. Where did you gather this information? Inquiring minds would like to know. 🙂
I spend a lot of time trying to learn everything I can about edible plants and study all kinds of sources. The digger pines are all over California. What part did you harvest them in?
would the cones open up in the oven or would it be dangerous to do so…might have resin on them?
I am not concerned about the time involved in deciding if the trees in my area are worthy of harvest; I am willing to experiment. What I would like to know is if any pines are toxic or if there is anything else to be wary of. Thanks very much.
I know of no pine nuts that will poison you. Some will effect the sense of taste in some individuals, but this goes away on its own.
It is my understanding that the easiest way to collect these nuts is to take the freshly picked cones (They MUST be picked from the tree not from the ground!) and put them in a turkey roasting pan with a lid and put them in the oven at around 200-250 degrees. This stimulates the cones to open and they literally spit the seeds out of the cones and into the pan. You can even hear the seeds hitting the pan like popcorn. At that time, turn off the oven and let it cool down. Once the popping has stopped, you can take the pan out, remove the lid, take out the cones and be left with all the seeds in the pan. They will also have a roasted nuttiness to them as well. But they may go rancid quicker if roasted. Not sure about that.
I have never tried this before, as we have no pine trees around my area to do so.
Thanks, I am going to try this, will let you know what happens.
Roasting them will make them last longer not deteriorate them quicker.
Just a little confused you say to remove them from the shell, but then you say that shelled nuts deteriorate rapidly. A Shelled is out of the shell or has no shell, unshelled would be still in the shell. So question is did you state it backwards above or should i leave them in shell (unshelled) until needed? Thanks i know i have always bought them already shelled from the store but would like to harvest ourselves some just to say we did it
Leave them in the shell (and dry, in the fridge) until needed, for longest shelf life.
I put not opened digger pine cones in a paper bag, set it in a warm place, like near the woodstove, and then in a couple weeks when the pine cone opens I hit the bag on concrete or tile and the seeds pop out of the cone.

No, that’s not a typo. I figure that to say this blog is the first of MANY would be presumptuous; while I intend to make my best efforts to post regularly, I don’t want to make any promises just yet. As I mentioned above, I am blond, and am therefore easily distracted by shiny things. We’ll see how it goes for now, ok?
A little about me:
- I am left-handed…or at least, I write with my left hand. I hold the fork in my left hand, but use a knife with my right. I can bowl equally badly with either hand, but I throw, bat and golf as a rightie. I cannot, under any circumstances uses scissors with my left hand; the last time I tried, I literally cut my own finger.
- I like to write. I am arrogant enough to think I do an ok job of it, but insecure enough to sop up compliments like a dry sponge. (hint, hint)
- I’m currently in the process of trying to “pimp” myself out on match.com. I figure if nothing else, the experience should give me plenty of blogging material. (Yes, if you were looking for unruhe29, you found me!)
- I once took an online IQ test while…under the influence. I scored 6 points higher than [someone else I know], who was completely sober. This pissed him off to no end, and made me laugh my ass off.
- I get annoyed when I catch myself starting too many sentences with the same word. (See bullet points 1-4)
Well, that’s enough about me for now. I figure we’ll get to know each other even better as time goes by – I wouldn’t want to give it up all at once. Plus, no one’s actually reading this anyway, so why give myself carpal tunnel right out of the gate?

Whoo Hooo!! New blogging by you. I’m looking forward to it! :0)
I wondered how long it would take you to find me. lol

Mike Huckabee is giving a big thumbs-down to Rick Perry’s campaign rollout, telling Fox News that the Texas governor’s decision to announce on the day of the Iowa straw poll is a big “tactical blunder.”
Story Continued Below
The problem, said the former Arkansas governor and 2008 Iowa caucus winner, is that Perry’s Saturday kickoff in South Carolina shows disrespect to the Iowa process.
“It’s a tactical blunder … The people of Iowa work very hard to make the straw poll the biggest political moment in the summer,” Huckabee said. “If you have a candidate who says, ‘You know what, I’m not gonna be there, I’m gonna be over in South Carolina, trying to pull as much attention as possible away from your big event’ – I’ll tell you, the people of Iowa are gracious, loving, kind people, and they’re not gonna take kindly to someone, in essence, dissing their big event. Which is what it will be reviewed as in the state of Iowa.”
Huckabee, who came in second in the 2007 Ames straw poll, likened the presidential primary process to a marathon, advising: “You don’t get to start at mile No. 6.”
“Whether you like it or not, you start at the starting line and the starting line is Iowa. You don’t have to say, ‘I want to be in Iowa,’ but that’s where you gotta start,” Huckabee said.
He predicted: “You watch, the other candidates will beat the daylights out of him for not respecting the Iowa straw poll. So will the Iowa Republican Party. And out there, just sort of the conversation on the streets, will be that it was bad form.”
Huckabee has quickly started to emerge as a Southern, Christian conservative thorn in Rick Perry’s Southern, Christian conservative side, and previously jabbed at Perry for having endorsed Rudy Giuliani for president in 2008.
Huckabee sought Perry’s support for his own bid that year, to no avail.
In his Fox appearance Thursday, Huckabee also forecast that Perry wouldn’t be able to compete effectively for attention with the Iowa event, due to the sheer number of national reporters on the ground in Ames.
The supremely media-conscious Huckabee scoffed: “The B-team of national political reporters will be the ones in South Carolina covering his announcement.”

CHRISTINE & TY
ELOPE TO THE CIMARRONS
Christine and Ty's adventure elopement in the Cimarron mountains of Colorado was a breathtaking celebration of love and nature. The couple exchanged their vows surrounded by the stunning scenery of golden aspen trees and with the sound of a babbling brook in the background. Their intimate ceremony was attended by 12 of their closest friends and family and their two adorable pups.
The crisp mountain air, golden hour sun, and cozy fall colors provided the perfect backdrop for their photos and memories that they will cherish for a lifetime. It was a truly magical day for all who were lucky enough to be a part of it.

Background: The "demand control support" model of workplace health may help researchers, practitioners and policy-makers understand how psychosocial interventions can improve workplace health and reduce health inequalities. We conducted a systematic review asking whether organisational-level interventions designed to increase employee participation in the workplace lead to health effects predicted by the demand control support model. Method: Systematic review, using narrative synthesis, of relevant intervention studies reporting both psychosocial and health outcomes from any country or time, in any language or format, identified from medical and social science databases, personal collections, bibliographies and expert consultations. Findings: We identified 15 studies including single and multiple intervention studies. Most involved …#732;participatory…#8482; (problem solving) employee committees. Two of the four more robust studies (prospective with comparison groups) of single participatory interventions found evidence of health (especially mental health) benefits; as did three robust studies, and some less robust evidence, of participatory interventions implemented alongside ergonomic improvements or individual-level health education. We found little evidence of health benefits, but some of adverse effects, when participatory interventions occurred alongside redundancies. The demand control support model was a useful tool for understanding health outcomes, especially with regards to employee control. Interpretation: Our review suggests that interventions that attempt to increase employee participation and control through workplace re-organisation are potentially health-improving, although more robust studies would strengthen this finding. If such interventions are to benefit employees' health they should be implemented within a favourable organisational climate and cannot be expected to protect workers from generally poor working conditions.

Cape Town - It was not the result he wanted, but Graeme Smith's final day as South African Test captain ended with his side showing grit and dogged resilience, mirroring his 12-year international career.
Australia triumphed by 245 runs at Newlands with a little more than four overs remaining to win the series 2-1 as Smith signed off on a low note.
His decision to retire shocked a nation, but Smith admitted he had been toying with the idea since former coach Gary Kirsten announced last May he would be leaving the team.
“When Gary left, that was when the process started for me,” Smith, the most successful captain in Test history with a record 53 wins, told reporters.
“The thought entered my mind then and it has taken me a period of time to try and understand and process that. I still feel I could perform over the next period of time, but I have peace that this is the right time to go.
“When I told the team a couple of nights ago it was a really tough night, I didn't manage to get too many words out. The hardest part has been saying goodbye to the team, for so long the Proteas environment has been my family.
“It took a while to have the courage to make the decision. At 33, people say you have a lot of years left but it has felt like the time is right for me.
“I realised that this (Newlands) is the place where I wanted to finish my career. I didn't want to hang on and finish at a place where it didn't feel right.”
Smith was first selected for South Africa aged 21 and within a year was made captain of the team, a job he held for 11 years.
He built his career by scoring runs “ugly”, but with over 17 000 amassed in all formats of international cricket, he proved the early doubters wrong.
“When I started my professional career all I use to hear was about my bad stance and my grip and how I needed to change things, so to be sitting here 17 000 runs later is hopefully an example to other people that if you are less talented, there is a lot you can still achieve in life,” he added.
“I have always been a determined player, I don't think I have ever been a player that has had the best technique but I have always been able to find a way and left everything out on the field.”
His career highlights have come in England and Australia, two of the traditionally toughest places for South Africa to get results.
“There have been so many wonderful victories around the world, winning in England and Australia would be the highlights... our record away from home has been something I am really proud of,” he said.
“On a personal level, the 154 I scored to win the series in England (in 2008), that's the innings that always sticks out in my mind. And the hundred in Perth (in 2008) to help set things up when we were chasing over 400 and won.”
And the regrets?
“To have won a World Cup, that would have been ticking all the boxes,” he said. - Reuters

The Metaphys Gekka Tin Sake Set is pure, elegant form meets alcohol appreciation at its luxurious best. Created Japan’s hers design for Japanese design/retail firm Metaphys, Gekka’s centerpiece is cast and carved in tin, which apparently imparts a smoother, mellower flavor experience. Since sake can be served either hot or cold, you can choose between a rattan winding around the neck for thermal protection and grip, or none. Similarly, the accompanying pair of cups is available in single or double wall, the latter providing a layer of insulation if that is your preference. Bottle and cups are also available separately, cups in pairs.

Discussion in 'Technical Support' started by Robert Nelson, May 5, 2014.
yeah. It can be a bit daunting at first.
Does the whole black piece move or just the board on top?
It's the same connection type as between the ramps board and arduino, only much tighter so it's harder to remove. I definitely don't advise this but if you absolutely can't get it out you can use a tongue and groove pliers to remove it, but use your judgement on if this is something you're capable of and i can't be blamed if you knock something off your driver (true story)
I eventually figured out what moved and what didn't. For some reason it works! But I'm scratching my head why. I can't actually get the middle board back down. The space is too tight because I plugged the X board back in first. Maybe there was a slightly bad connection due to stress.
Why did you suggest switching boards anyway? I didn't think that would change anything...
We were trying to determine if there was a faulty stepper driver or if the issue was with the RAMPS board itself
That makes sense. But why it works now doesn't to me...unless it happens again. I have not had the unit on very long. Is this little board I moved available at Radio Shack?
Nope, you need to buy it online. http://www.ultibots.com/pololu-a4988-stepper-motor-driver-heat-sink/
As to why it's now suddenly working? Hard to say. Probably a loose connection that just needed to be reseated. Printers are fickle like that.

11, online order medicine 2016, online medicine tablets shopping in New York. The physician stated Clinton has had an allergy-related cough, and that during a follow-up examination Friday, the candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia, placed on antibiotics, online medicine tablets shopping suggested to rest and modify her schedule. Clinton's departure from the event was not witnessed by the reporters who journey together with her campaign. Aides provided no information about why she left or her whereabouts for nearly two hours. Spokesman Nick Merrill ultimately said Clinton had gone to her daughter's close by condo, but refused to say whether the previous secretary of state had required medical attention. Clinton exited the residence on her own shortly earlier than noon. In the meantime, a video surfaced on Twitter that showed Clinton being held up by aides as a black van pulls up. She stumbles and online medicine tablets shopping seems to fall off the curb as she is helped inside. After leaving her daughter's, pharmacy online Clinton was pushed to her home in Chappaqua, New York, and made no public appearances. She later called off plans to fly to California on Monday morning for online order medicine two days of fundraising, campaign events and an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show.
Gutierrez said she had recently watched a man on Spanish-language Television speak about how he had waited and at last decided to get vaccinated, online order medicine but obtained sick before he may get his shot. "He said ‘vaccinate yourselves, don’t keep serious about it,’" Gutierrez said. "That motivated me. I didn’t want to maintain excited about it. Santamaria filled a black pushcart with produce. A box of rice earlier than getting vaccinated. The 55-12 months-old had heard combined messages concerning the vaccines and determined to delay, however the rising COVID circumstances within the county, together with counsel from the pastors at her church, persuaded her to come back. Gutierrez’s sons have been vaccinated but her daughter, who administers the vaccine to others, has not gotten the shot. Her daughter was shocked to listen to that she was on the clinic. "It was lack of information. Now I do know it’s good to get vaccinated," Gutierrez mentioned. Santamaria stated none of her youngsters have been vaccinated, calling it a "roulette." Her 13-12 months-previous granddaughter confirmed the household a video full of misinformation about ladies becoming infertile after getting vaccinated. "Now I’m going to inspire my daughters," Santamaria mentioned. By 1 p.m., Curative had administered round eighty checks and 30 vaccines. Jennifer Pajounia was one of many last folks to get vaccinated. As a result of she had COVID again in October, she questioned the purpose of getting the shot.
Thus, allowing them to call shoppers, customers, corporations, and maintain their operations on the job. When cellphones first arrived to play they displaced the outdated Motorola engineering of thrust to speak telephones, which in turn labored off of a mountaintop repeaters, the crooks to had been incredibly huge inside the military, structure trade, and each of the executives having large corporations had them. Since this grew to become radio engineering, they labored farther as opposed to first cellphones which should be within 10 to assist 15 miles of the cell podium. Right this moment, the cellphones are fewer wattage than these have been back subsequently, so the standard cell podium is 6 mls or fewer apart. Way back the cellphones worked off of three W, and presently with 3G engineering the wattage could be underneath 1 T. This is most probably good to the human biosystem, as it's placing much less microwave quantity radiation into your head, there will doubtless be fewer human mind tumors, human brain cancer, as well as different points.
Two groups that know plenty concerning the significance of a field aim meet Saturday when No. 19 Wake Forest takes on host Syracuse in an Atlantic Coast Convention game.

Orange coach Dino Babers mentioned. Syracuse fullback Chris Elmore stated. The Demon Deacons, who hold the best national ranking amongst ACC teams, are 3-0 in conference play for the primary time in a decade.

Body camera footage of an unarmed protester being struck by a less-lethal round contradicts the LAPD’s claim that officers used projectiles to “target individuals who were throwing objects at the officers.”
As the Los Angeles Police Department investigates allegations that officers used excessive force during protests in late May and early June, they’ve released body camera footage centered around a man who is shot in the head with a less-lethal round at a protest on May 30. On that same video, a woman with her hands up is seen suddenly doubling over. She has identified herself as Trish Hill and says the round that hit her broke her nose.
In the video, LAPD Capt. Gisselle Espinoza from the Media Relations Division identifies the male victim as CJ Montano. She notes that the circumstances surrounding the shooting, including which officer hit Montano, are still under investigation.
The LAPD says the video is from Saturday, May 30 at about 7:09 p.m. and takes place at Beverly Boulevard and Grove Drive. On that day, a protest at Pan Pacific Park moved to the area near The Grove, where police and protesters clashed after a police vehicle was allegedly set on fire.
In the body camera footage, police are seen moving toward protesters while shouting “less lethal” and “leave the area.” Montano is seen standing in the middle of the street with his hands up, backing away from officers as they advance. When the round hits him, he falls to the ground immediately. Another protester helps him to his feet, and they both run away. Espinoza said Montano was later treated for head injuries at a hospital.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Montano spent four days in the hospital. The incident is being investigated as an “unintentional head strike.” The designation of “unintentional” is based on interviews with two officers that the department determined fired their weapons, according to a source who spoke with the Times. One of Montano’s lawyers told the Times they believe he was “specifically targeted.”
If you look at the video, just after the six-minute mark, you can see in the enlarged, slowed-down footage that there’s a woman to the left of the frame. She’s also backing away with her hands up. Just before the footage cuts off, you can see her double over.
That woman has identified herself as Trish Hill.
I first talked to Hill in early June. She said she’d been at the protest and had been hit in the face with a less-lethal round that broke her nose. I’d been there, too, to cover the events of the day. She asked me to tell her if I had or found any footage of her getting hit. She said it happened at Beverly Boulevard and N. Stanley Avenue at about 7 p.m. She told me she had been wearing jeans, a black T-shirt and a scarf. When I sent her this video today and asked if the woman was her, her response was, “I’m shaking all over.”
The Pan Pacific Park protest wasn’t Hill’s first protest that weekend. She also attended a protest the previous day, Friday, May 29, during which she said she was hit with a less-lethal round in the butt. It didn’t feel much worse to her than being struck with a paintball, so she wasn’t worried about attending another protest.
On Saturday, at around 7 p.m. (an hour before curfew), she joined the group on Beverly Boulevard. It wasn’t long before officers began firing non-lethal rounds at protesters. Because of her experience that Friday, Hill said she felt “so much bolder to put my body between protesters and the police.”
“At the time, there was a meme going around about white women putting themselves in between police and protesters because we are the historically protected and precious to law enforcement and less likely to be shot,” she said.
But this time, a less-lethal round hit Hill in the face, which is a lot different than being hit in the butt. Hill sought treatment at Cedars, where it took a plastic surgeon 15 minutes to reset her nose.
“I consider myself to be on the tough side vis-a-vis pain tolerance, but I scream-cried like I’ve never scream-cried before,” she said.
In the video, Espinoza describes less-lethal weapons used by the LAPD as beanbag shotguns that fire cloth socks filled with small, metal pellets and 40 mm less-lethal launchers that fire foam projectiles.
“The round strikes the person’s body and is intended to cause pain,” she said of the foam projectiles, “and while there may be bruising, it is designed to be non-penetrating by distributing energy over a broad surface area.”
They can still cause serious injury, though. Journalist Linda Tirado was shot and blinded in one eye while photographing a protest in Minneapolis on May 30. Actor Kendrick Sampson said he was shot seven times at protests in L.A. and that a friend of his had to get stitches.
Espinoza also said LAPD officers used projectiles to “target individuals who were throwing objects at the officers, such as rocks, glass bottles and frozen water bottles.”
Neither Montano nor Hill are seen throwing anything at police in the video. And in the days that followed the protests, videos surfaced on social media that depicted officers swinging batons at unarmed protesters and shooting less-lethal rounds into groups of people.
The LAPD soon announced it was investigating dozens of allegations of use of force during the protests. And, according to L.A. Daily News, the Los Angeles Police Commission has asked the National Police Foundation to review the way the LAPD handled protests from May 29 to June 7. They’ll be asked to look at the LAPD’s tactics, deployment, command and control and — this is key here — “use of munitions.”
Hill says seeing the video is surreal and brought emotions of “grief, anger, sadness, excitement [and] justice.” At first, she worried that seeing it would be re-traumatizing, but is now glad she watched it.
“I have had this internal battle of shame, which I guess is common of assault victims, wondering if I really did do something wrong and if I deserved what happened to me,” she said. “I’m so non-threatening in this situation no one even notices the damage done. The highlight is on the person who was hit before me. My whole face was rearranged in that frame and my whole life was forever changed, and it is almost an afterthought.”
Hill’s nose is healing well, though she said she still has some nerve issues with her jaw — mostly pain and occasionally, a “pins and needles” feeling. Through GoFundMe, she’s been able to raise a portion of her medical costs.
“Even considering the other privileges I possess, I have had a great support network and recovery resources that other protesters might not be afforded,” she said. “So even if I was just there to draw the fire from them, I consider it worthwhile and would do it again.”
Other people injured by law enforcement during the protests are suing the city, including one woman who says a foam round flew through her open car window as she drove near the protest, hit her in the face and caused a fractured cheekbone and brain injury.
According to the LAPD, the incident depicted in the video was reported as a complaint, but their efforts to interview Montano have been unsuccessful. Montano told the Times that he told them to talk to his lawyers. LAPD’s Force Investigation Division will continue to investigate, then the Critical Incident Review Division will forward the findings to LAPD Chief Michel Moore, who will make a recommendation to the civilian Board of Police Commissioners. The board will then evaluate the evidence to determine if officers acted within policy.

Research: Health literacy and health disparities in southeastern North Carolina
In the United States, chronic kidney disease affects racial and ethnic minority populations including American Indians, African-Americans, and Hispanic Americans at higher rates than whites. Higher disease rates and poor outcomes for chronic conditions in these groups is a problem that has concerned the medical community for decades.
As a doctor, I work to provide the highest quality medical care possible to these patients. As a researcher, I ask, “Why do these disparities exist, and what can we do to narrow the gap?”
In North Carolina, health disparities are even greater in the southeastern counties where the rates of kidney disease are among the highest in the country. Here, racial and ethnic minorities are twice as likely to die from chronic kidney disease or develop end-stage kidney disease, or kidney failure.
With a grant from the American Kidney Fund Clinical Scientist in Nephrology Program, we are studying ways to prevent and improve outcomes for chronic kidney disease in southeastern North Carolina, with an initial focus on Robeson County.
The counties in southeastern North Carolina are among the poorest in the United States, and as such, their residents suffer several economic, social and structural barriers to achieving good health outcomes. In Robeson County alone, where 40 percent of the population is American Indian Lumbee and 30 percent is African-American, the mortality rate for diabetes, kidney disease and cardiovascular disease is more than twice the state average.
Many individuals in these groups experience high social, emotional and economic stress throughout their lives. Prolonged and accumulated stresses can lead to higher rates of disease and poor outcomes for chronic conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, because people under stress may often have limited stress and coping skills, are not good at communicating with caregivers and doctors, and they often have lower health literacy—the ability to obtain, read, understand and use health care information.
We believe that by studying health literacy, self-care behaviors, self-confidence, stress and coping, social support, and self-management skills related to chronic kidney disease, we can improve long-term health outcomes because:
- Health outcomes are improved by modification of self-care behaviors such as diet, lifestyle, and self-management skills like communication with caregivers and taking medication as prescribed;
- Inadequate health literacy has been linked with poor health outcomes for chronic conditions;
- Structural barriers at the community and neighborhood level are important determinants of health;
- Previous work has shown that interventions based on comprehensive assessments of these individual- and community-level factors can mprove health outcomes for chronic diseases including chronic kidney disease.
By identifying how and why these factors are associated with poor outcomes for chronic kidney disease, we will eventually be able to develop interventions that are tailored to the population in our study, but are broad enough to improve health across the region and nuanced enough to address critical differences among the racial/ethnic populations. We consider this to be the beginning of a sustained effort in the region to address these health disparities related to chronic kidney disease. With the generous support of the American Kidney Fund Clinical Scientist in Nephrology Program, we are now positioned to develop a long-term public health agenda to achieve these goals.
Dr. John Stanifer received his medical degree from the University of Tennessee and completed his residency in internal medicine and global health at Duke University. He is completing a renal fellowship at Duke University and is the 2015-2016 American Kidney Fund-Amgen Clinical Scientist in Nephrology fellow.

Firebrand former Italian Radical Party leader Marco Pannella has died at the age of 86.
His party reported his passing, after Radical Radio reported he had been hospitalised a day earlier, allegedly in a serious condition.
Known for his hunger strikes, Pannella rose to fame in the 1960s and 70s. He was at the forefront of postwar campaigns to legalise divorce, abortion, the right to die, the legalisation of marijuana and other social change in staunchly Catholic Italy.
The Radical Party founder was said to have been instrumental in promoting some 110 referenda during his political career.
He fought many of these battles alongside the equally principled former Foreign Minister, Emma Bonino. He appeared to delight in pulling the establishment’s tail, and would never shy away from shocking his public, notably with his marriage and tempestuous relationship with “La Cicciolina”, a Hungarian porn star who ended up elected to the Italian parliament and campaigning alongside Pannella when she wasn’t shocking TV audiences. They eventually divorced.
Current Prime Minister Matteo Renzi hailed him as a “courageous lion of freedom,” whose death moved the whole country.

When Kinect Star Wars was announced, it generated a curious ripple through the force, with some fans being both interested and skeptic, it was unleashed onto this universe with a big question: Could it live up to it’s full potential? The game is divided into five different game modes: Jedi Destiny, Duels of Fate, Rancor Rampage, Galactic Dance-Off and Pod Racing. In most of these game modes beloved characters from the franchise will make an appearance, be it to try to move the plot on, or just for kicks.
Jedi Destiny makes the bulk of the game, being a short campaign that story wise follows right after the end of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, you are a nameless padawan that helps the Jedi Order fight off the enemies of the Republic, the story and character development are null, and will hardly generate any interest. It’s controls are simple and fairly responsive, you move your saber around with your right hand to hack and slash and deflect blaster shots, your left hand can pull, push or throw objects and enemies with the force and you step forward, left or right to make a dash in that direction. It’s very interesting for the first hour, but the novelty runs out quickly, and the several hours long campaign will get boring.
Duels of Fate are introduced during Jedi Destiny, it sets you one-on-one lightsaber duels against five different opponents, the hardest of them being Darth Vader, you need to dodge, block or parry until allowed to attack the enemy. It works like a time trial mode, where you need to defeat your opponent under a specific amount of time to unlock the next one. Rancor Rampage puts you in the skin of a Rancor, and your mission is to cause as much destruction as possible in a time limit, the short skits before the start of the level are sometimes funny, and being able to destroy places you’ve known from the franchise is very interesting, even if the cities look a little bland, it’s still fun to smash a building and eat a stormtrooper.
Galactic Dance-Off is a dance game, using characters from the franchise in well known locations as dance models to fifteen actual famous tunes, some of the lyrics are even modified to bring a little hilarity to the world, for example “Genie in a Bottle” by Christina Aguillera is remixed into “Princess in a Battle” and “YMCA” by The Village People becomes “Empire Today”, some of these are quite funny, adding to the amusement of watching Emperor Palpatine or Boba Fett dance to those tunes. Midway through the songs there is a cutscene that switches another character into the dance, this happens on every songs, and gets quite annoying.
Pod Racing brings back the famous intergalactic sport, making you pilot a pod between nine different tracks. It is fun with friends, but the controls are a bit awkward, even more if you don’t have assists on. The races are pretty long, considering you have to keep your arms straight to keep the vehicle from making crazy turns, that can be quite taxing depending on the player.
The graphics in general are bland, but still manage to work enough so the game is not overly distracting you. Soundwise it works, with some returning voice actors and the easily recognizable soundtrack, but the game ends up feeling more like a collection of mini games than a full bodied game in itself, all of which will bore most gamers after a single hour. Kinect Star Wars was marketed as the definite Star Wars experience, by implementing the kinect sensor, it had the potential to provide the ultimate Jedi sensation, it does provide several hours of fun that will be easily forgotten by mild fans and which will probably inspire more hardcore fans to join the dark side of the force.
What We Loved
- Controls are responsive most of the time.
- Fun to smash things with a Rancor.
- Boba Fett dancing to The Village People.
What We Hated
- Collection of game modes with little essence.
- Awfully boring story mode.

Delaire Graff Estate’s Owner’s Villa and Superior Lodges
Delaire Graff Estate has launched its new accomodation offering, a four-bedroom Owner’s Villa and six Superior Lodges. Nestled in the Stellenbosch Valley, the contemporary Cape architecture blends effortlessly with superbly lavish interiors. At the same time seamlessly integrating with the estate’s natural surroundings, the accomodation provides an unrivalled Winelands experience.
In 2009, dhk designed the existing winery, restaurant and tasting room at Delaire Graff Estate which resulted in the studio being selected to complete the new extension. London-based David Collins Studio decorated the interior spaces.
The brief was to establish a new standard of luxury accommodation on the estate while enabling the buildings to connect to the greater site. In order to achieve this, dhk introduced a selection of natural and raw materials. This includes solid French oak trusses, stone-clad walls, thatched roofs and extended timber terraces. Refined and elegant, the villa and lodges are of exceptional quality with high-end finishes and careful detailing throughout. The buildings further coalesce with the encompassing mountain and vineyard landscape due to the extensive landscaping.
The four-bedroom villa covers 660m² over two floors and sleeps up to eight guests. A notable element of the design is the impressive and welcoming arrival experience that includes a thatched porte-cochere, stone-clad walls and water features. Meanwhile, the six lodges extend on the luxuriousness of the villa, including natural materials, high-end finishes and opulent décor. In addition to a bedroom, the lodges also include a private living area, dressing room and ensuite bathroom.

Drip Irrigation Components You May Need
As water becomes more scarce and expensive, the popularity of drip irrigation has increased in Kenya. This rise in popularity has coincided with the development of new irrigation technology, combined with a smallholder farmers in Kenya to conserve water and cut on expenses.
In drip irrigation, water is delivered to individual plants at a low pressure and delivery rate to specific areas or zones in the farm. The slow application promotes a thorough penetration of the water to individual plant root zones and reduces potential runoff. The depth of water penetration depends on the length of time the system is allowed to operate and the texture of the soil.
Drip emitters apply the water directly to plant root zones and are very efficient and water-conserving by design. When applying water directly to the soil, there is virtually no waste from drift, evaporation or runoff. There are many designs of emitters available on the market, and even the mini- sprinkler, misters and mini-sprayer types are efficient in operation.
Drip systems are relatively easy to design, assemble and install, which is why they are popular in Kenya. Depending on landscape needs, design the system to connect to a main water line or connect it to a hose bib. These systems are easy to modify. In designing and assembling a drip system, advanced planning is critical to successful results. Reading, studying, observing drip systems and developing an overall concept of the installed principles of a basic drip system in Kenya are the places to start. From that point, draw a plan that includes the layout of lines, your choice of emitter, the flow in LPM (Litre per minute) of your water supply and the total number of emitters to install on each line or system. At this point, it is essential to develop your list of farm crops so that the system you design is matched to your actual needs. Understanding the soil characteristics and topography in your landscape or garden is another important factor. The size and spacing of emitters you choose are affected by the different ways sun, exposure (N, S, E, W) and water move through the various types of soils. Soil types include clay, silt, sand (fine, medium and large particles) and loam. The amount of organic matter available in the soil also affects the soil’s capacity to hold water. All drip irrigation systems used in Kenya have five major and two optional components, and understanding these is the next step in actually designing a system.
- Valves: hand operated or electrical, and capable of operating at low pressures and low delivery rates. Drip systems are usually designed for automated operation using timers or specially engineered low-flow solenoid valves. Installation of a pressure vacuum breaker (PVB) or anti-siphon valve is also a necessity when using a well or a municipal water source. This valve prevents fertilizers or chemicals used in the drip system from siphoning back into the water supply when changes in system pressure occur.
- Pressure regulators: spring or valve. Most drip systems operate on low pressures, with 20 to 30 psi offered as the standard operating pressure. These pressures are lower than those provided by municipal water supplies, which means a pressure reducing or flow control valve is a necessity for the system to operate properly. A call to your local water distributor will provide you with information on the available pressure of your water supply. Pressure regulators come in two types, spring (used on smaller systems) and diaphragm. These devices are inexpensive and reliable in holding pressure constant. Adjustable and pre-set types are available.
- Filters: disk, screen or sand. For smooth operation and prevention of clogging of the tiny outlets in the emitters, filters are considered an important component of the drip system. For wells or municipal water sources, use a screen filter (150-200 mesh screen) or disc filter. If you connect your system to any open or surface water sources, sand filters are an absolute requirement. Install these filters as a pair of sand-filled canisters, which are back-flushed to clean them.
- Blowout valve or automatic drain: Installation of these valves is a good maintenance practice to clean lines and prevent damage from freezing
- Water delivery system: polyvinyl chloride pipe (pvc); polyethylene tubing fitted with emitters, sprayer or line source drip tubing. The water delivery system is simply the network of tubing and water application devices that takes the water from the source and releases it at the destination.
- Automated controller– simple electric clock or computer.
By automating your system, it is very convenient to maintain an irrigation schedule. Watering can take place in the wee hours of the morning or when people are away from home. Electric solenoid valves are used to automate the system with the addition of a time clock or automatic controller box (computerized controller). Buy a controller that allows (90 to 120 minute) settings and multiple start times.
- Fertigation system– electric and hydraulic pumps, cartridge systems, “hozon” venturi systems, etc.
Drip irrigation systems have an option to apply soluble fertilizers in the irrigation water. Fertigation with nitrogen, a highly soluble nutrient that moves easily through the soil profile to plant roots, is the most common method. Fertilizer cartridges (100% water soluble), which dissolve and are distributed through the watering process, are one option.
Another reliable method involves a simple “hozon” venturi injector, which siphons soluble fertilizer from a bucket or container into the irrigation tubing.
Hozons are only suitable for plantings of ½ acre or less. In connecting a fertigation system, remember to place the fertilizer injections in front of the filter to screen any contaminants. A reduced-pressure vacuum breaker is sometimes required with the use of an injector system.
As you design your drip system, the components and options you choose will depend on your individual needs. They include the size of the system, the water source, the plants you want to irrigate and the degree of sophistication you desire.

MIRROR OF ERISED: Understanding what makes people tick
TRAITS: Kameron considers herself an over-achiever, in everything that she tries to do. She strove hard to be at the top of the class, in both Hogwarts and in University, though she missed by a few points. She chose the feild of psychology specifically because she likes people and she wants to find out what causes them to think the way that they do. That makes her also exceptionally curious about situations and why people chose the paths that they do. She has a love for knowledge, wanting to know and learn from different kinds of people; this can be a disadvantage for her though because if a view point is contrary to what she feels is the right path, she can get herself into numerous heated discussions with her superiors. This happened a few times at University, which nearly got her dismissed from a class. She is very head strong and stubborn about what she believes in.
• Relation: Roger Hayes, 52. Muggle. Retired.
• Relation: Gena Hayes, 50, Muggle. Housewife.
HISTORY: Kameron had a fairly normal childhood. As an only child, she spent most of her time with the neighborhood kids and made friends quite easily. Her mother stayed at home while her father went to work for an electrical company in London. They were not the wealthiest but the managed to get by alright. Kameron is the first and only witch in her family. Her mother was curious when she recieved Kameron's letter from Hogwarts but she was supportive nonetheless. Her father, having been away when she received the letter, was surprised when he found out about his daughter being a witch. For awhile, they were uncertain how to explain the news to the family, but eventually after two years of Hogwarts, the family finally heard the news of the boarding school that she was attending. As the rumble of a takeover began to radiate through the halls at Hogwarts, Kameron's parents insisted that she remove herself from the school. Kameron, however, was stubborn and would not leave the school without graduating first. Two and a half years after graduation, Hogwarts was officially taken over, as well as the rest of London. Kameron, luckily, had managed to escape to university, where she was reunited with her former Hogwarts companion Lexie. Her and Lexie, had met on the train when Kameron was a first year and Lexie was going into her second year. The two remained friends throughout their school years, despite having different class schedules. Once Lexie had headed off to uni. the girls had exchanged a few letters and spent a week or two during summer break together. When Kameron got her acceptance to the same Uni as Lexie, she was thrilled. Though they were in different majors, much the same as different houses in school, the girls still managed to find time to spend with each other. This would eventually be how Kameron found out about the internship position opening in MI-5.
ANYTHING ELSE? Perfering the interaction of people, Kameron needed an animal that would be the same way, so she had a chocolate lab that she named Cocoa.

MARBLEHEAD, OHIO Sept. 13, 2019 – Adam Pendleton, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Certified Journeyman Farrier will celebrate the grand opening of his thoughtfully-designed equine clinic Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, September 29, 2019.
Together with the Mid-Eastern Farriers Association, the celebration will include presentations from internationally-acclaimed farrier and technician, Gertjan Korsman, CEF, case presentations from Adam Pendleton, DVM, CJF, hands-on workshops, tours of the clinic, an auction to benefit MEFA and more.
Dr. Pendleton, owner and founder of HandforgedVet, is enthusiastic about welcoming all to the grand opening.
“Gertjan is a wealth of knowledge and I am so pleased we were able to bring him overseas, ” Pendleton said.
“He started his career in 1984 as a veterinary technician at the university of Utrecht Netherlands where he was fascinated by the difference farriers could make for horses with orthopedic issues. He became a certified farrier in 1991 after seeing the challengers of poor farriery on the locomotion and welfare of the horses – and owners! It is for that reason I know his presentations and hands-on will resonate with everyone,” Pendleton continued.
Currently Korsman is the resident farrrier at Lingehoeve Diergeneeskunde In Lienden(Netherlands) where he works with a highly skilled team of veterinarians. His practice includes providing farrier services for some of the best dressage horses in the world.
Both the people and the location will make this grand opening event unique.
HandforgedVet Equine Clinic is in Marblehead, Ohio – the beautiful lakeside town with easy access in Northwest Ohio.
“Encouraging dialogue that results in the best podiatry possible has been a dream of mine,” said Pendleton. “The clinic is the culmination of my mission to have the essentials necessary for a thorough look at a horse’s gait, feet and locomotion -- but, most importantly, the space for horse owners, farriers, trainers and veterinarians to collaborate for the health of the horses. That is why this grand opening celebration is so important to me. It is the kick-off of a welcoming environment for the horse community.”
“While the atmosphere and amenities are top-notch, the clinic is inviting and unintimidating,” said MEFA president, Michale Boal. “Because MEFA’s mission is to provide continuing education, promote professional ethics and keep current with modern development of farriery science, collaborating with Adam on the grand opening event was the perfect fit.”
Admission to the event is free. Food will be available for purchase. Registration is not required,but encouraged at www.facebook.com/handforgedvet. Due to scheduling issues, the event will take the place of the December MEFA Annual Clinic and Contest.
For more information on the grand opening event, or for additional information on Dr. Pendleton’s practice, visit www.handforgedvet.com
Founded by Adam Pendleton, DVM, CJF in 2014, HandforgedVet offers the highest standard of care by specializing in athletic horse medicine, podiatry and lameness issues. The practice also includes general field ambulatory services and surgeries such as dentistry, lacerations, colic evaluations, gelding, lameness, gain analysis, pre-purchase examinations, acupuncture and complimentary medicine. In 2019 HandforgedVet expanded to include a new, 4,000 square-foot, thought-fully designed clinic featuring exam and procedure rooms custom-outfitted for equine patients.
About Adam Pendleton DVM, CJF
Beginning his shoeing career at a young age alongside his father, Pendleton became a CF at age 15 and CJF at 19. After many successful years as a farrier, he attended veterinary school with hopes of bridging the ever-growing gap between veterinary medicine and farriery. Dr. Pendleton graduated from The Ohio State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013 becoming only the seventh person in the world to hold both a DVM and CJF. He apprenticed with some of the best veterinarians and farriers in the U.S. and abroad, including a month at the Lingehoeve Veterinary Clinic in the Netherlands, one of the leading diagnostic imaging centers in the world. Today Dr. Pendleton shares his more than 21 years of farrier experience and veterinary training presenting at such places as the prestigious William Woods University, and for organizations such as the British Morgan Horse Society in Hereford, England. He remains very active with farrier’s associations both on a local and national level, and heads his practice out of Marblehead, Ohio.
M.E.F.A. is solely dedicated to the maintaining of a viable, professional association which will provide an avenue for all involved in the horse industry; Veterinarians, horseshoers and horse owners alike.

59 F3d 341 United States v. Sasso
59 F.3d 341
42 Fed. R. Evid. Serv. 801
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee,
Robert SASSO, Jr., and Anthony Armienti, Defendants-Appellants.
Nos. 782, 994, Dockets 94-1345, 94-1346.
United States Court of Appeals,
Argued Feb. 6, 1995.
Decided July 5, 1995.
Ellen M. Corcella, Asst. U.S. Atty., Brooklyn, NY (Zachary W. Carter, U.S. Atty. for the E.D. of N.Y., David C. James, Asst. U.S. Atty., Brooklyn, NY, on the brief), for appellee.
David Breitbart, New York City (Richard Rubenstein, New York City, on the brief), for defendant-appellant Robert Sasso, Jr.
Vivian Shevitz, Mt. Kisko, NY (Jane Simkin Smith, Mt. Kisko, NY, on the brief), for defendant-appellant Anthony Armienti.
Before: KEARSE, CARDAMONE, and MAHONEY, Circuit Judges.
KEARSE, Circuit Judge:
Defendants Robert Sasso, Jr., and Anthony Armienti appeal from judgments entered in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York following a jury trial before Sterling Johnson, Jr., Judge, convicting them of conspiring to deal in firearms and to possess and receive firearms with obliterated serial numbers, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 371 (1988), and of dealing in firearms, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(a)(1)(A) (1988); convicting Sasso of possessing defaced firearms, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(k) (1988 & Supp. II 1990); and convicting Armienti, a previously convicted felon, of possessing a firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)(1) (1988). Sasso and Armienti were sentenced principally to 51 and 115 months' imprisonment, respectively, to be followed by three-year terms of supervised release, and each was fined $50,000. On appeal, defendants contend, inter alia, that the district court made erroneous evidentiary and discovery rulings, and that it erred in denying their motion for a new trial on the ground that one of the government's key witnesses committed perjury. In addition, Sasso contends that his rights under the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment were violated by the admission at trial of hearsay statements of Armienti implicating Sasso in the offenses; Armienti challenges the calculation of his offense level under the federal Sentencing Guidelines ("Guidelines") and the imposition of a fine. For the reasons below, we affirm.
The present prosecution arises out of an investigation by a task force of New York City Police Department officers and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms ("BATF") agents into unlawful weapons trafficking. The evidence at trial included testimony from coconspirator Richard C. Van Allen, who began cooperating with the government following his arrest in December 1992 and recorded certain conversations thereafter; testimony from Armienti's former girlfriend; and telephone records. Taken in the light most favorable to the government, the evidence showed that Van Allen unlawfully supplied Sasso with guns from 1989 to 1992 and that Armienti was involved from 1990 to 1992.
A. The Evidence as to the Events
Van Allen, a sometime truck driver who held a BATF license to sell firearms from his home in Long Island, New York, met Sasso in 1989 when both worked in construction in New York City. Sasso asked whether Van Allen could obtain guns for Sasso. Thereafter, Sasso began buying from Van Allen 5-15 small-caliber handguns a week.
In 1990, Sasso introduced Armienti to Van Allen, arranging for Armienti to deliver money or pick up weapons ordered by Sasso. Armienti performed these duties from time to time from mid-1990 until mid-1992. During that period, Sasso also introduced Frank Angelo to Van Allen, stating that Angelo wanted to come in "almost like a partner ... only he was going to be doing all the leg work," delivering the money and picking up the firearms. (Trial Transcript ("Tr.") at 423.) In a January 1993 tape-recorded conversation, Angelo confirmed to Van Allen that Sasso placed the orders and received a share of the profits, but had Angelo do the leg work.
Over time, the size and frequency of the orders Van Allen received from Sasso increased. Van Allen testified that during the period in question, he purchased and sold nearly 3,000 guns, some 2,000 of them in 1992. He said that "99 and a half percent" of his firearms sales in 1992 were made to Sasso (Tr. at 430; see also id. at 588 ("99.9 percent" overall); id. at 589 ("99.99 percent" overall)), either directly or through Armienti and Angelo. Van Allen also testified that after he obtained guns, he, Sasso, and Angelo removed their serial numbers, using a variety of tools.
Kristine Kramer, Armienti's girlfriend for most of the period from August 1991 to June 1992, testified to her observations and her conversations with Armienti during that time. Kramer, a truck driver in her mid-40's, was a member of the Teamsters Union and was thereby acquainted with Sasso and with Sasso's father, who was president of Teamsters Local 282, and she knew Van Allen by sight.
In late 1991, Kramer invited Armienti to spend the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with her and her four children. When he declined, she asked whether he was married or was seeing another woman. Armienti explained that he was in fact married and that he could not leave his wife because she had incriminating information that she would report to law enforcement authorities if he left her. Pressed for elaboration, Armienti stated that he owed a favor to Sasso's father and that he was repaying that debt by "running ... guns" for Sasso. (Tr. at 1012.) Armienti told Kramer that he obtained the guns from an individual he referred to as "Rambo," whom Kramer eventually saw and identified as Van Allen. Kramer recognized Van Allen as someone she had seen with Sasso at Teamster Union meetings.
As a result of Armienti's revelations, Kramer broke off their relationship. They soon reconciled, however, and in February 1992 Armienti began living with Kramer. Thereafter, Kramer observed that Armienti was often paged on his beeper. He left her home to return the page on public telephones, informing her that the calls were from "Rambo." While living with Kramer, Armienti had frequent meetings with Van Allen, and Kramer accompanied him when he set out for six such meetings. Armienti would generally leave Kramer at a restaurant, returning 15-30 minutes later to pick her up. When Armienti returned on one occasion in June 1992, he stated that he had missed his connection with "Rambo"; however, as Kramer and Armienti began to leave the restaurant parking lot, Van Allen arrived. Armienti went to Van Allen's van and was handed a package that he placed in the trunk of his car. Kramer testified that the weight of the package caused the back of the car to sink. Armienti later stated that he had to make a gun delivery to someone he called "Peter," and he showed Kramer one of the guns in the package he had placed in the trunk of the car.
After his meetings with Van Allen, Armienti normally proceeded to meet Sasso. Armienti did not want Sasso to see or know about Kramer, however; thus, she would wait in the car, parked or driving around, while Armienti met Sasso on a street corner. From her vantage point, Kramer observed Armienti meet and speak with Sasso.
Armienti told Kramer that he and his cohorts ground the serial numbers off the guns. They kept a grinder at Sasso's girlfriend's house and were acquiring a second grinder because Armienti had additional customers of his own. He also described an incident that had created problems for him with Sasso's father, in which Armienti had improvidently allowed someone to witness Sasso grinding gun serial numbers.
B. The Proceedings in the District Court
Sasso was indicted in February 1993, and Armienti in August 1993, on the charges indicated above. The jury convicted them on all of those counts.
After the verdicts, defendants moved for a new trial on the basis that Van Allen had committed perjury by testifying (a) that he had not made gun sales after his arrest, and (b) that Sasso, Angelo, and Armienti had bought virtually all of the guns Van Allen sold. The district court denied the motion.
Defendants were sentenced as indicated above, and these appeals followed.II. DISCUSSION
On appeal, defendants claim, inter alia, that they are entitled to a new trial because their confrontation rights were violated and because there was new evidence that Van Allen committed perjury. We find no merit in any of their contentions.
A. Confrontation Claims
The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment provides that "[i]n all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right ... to be confronted with the witnesses against him." Both defendants contend that their confrontation rights were violated when the trial court ruled that they could not cross-examine Kramer as to her treatment by a psychiatrist and her ingestion of mood-altering drugs. Sasso contends that his rights were further violated by the admission against him of Kramer's testimony as to statements of Armienti that inculpated Sasso. We reject both contentions.
1. Limitation on the Cross-Examination of Kramer
At an in limine hearing outside the presence of the jury, it was revealed that in 1988, a truck that Kramer was driving accidentally struck and killed a fellow worker. Kramer testified that she became depressed and twice visited a psychiatrist for counseling. Shortly after these two visits, Kramer's family physician prescribed the antidepressant drug Prozac, which Kramer took "on and off" during the following year. Defendants sought permission to bring these facts out in the presence of the jury. They later contended also that Kramer committed perjury in the in limine hearing as to the extent of her ingestion of antidepressant drugs. As support for this contention, they proffered pharmacy records showing that Kramer had a Prozac prescription filled in December 1990 and a prescription for Elovil filled in October 1992. Defendants urged that they also be permitted to bring these facts out before the jury. Kramer was recalled before the judge and testified that she did not remember the precise dates of her Prozac prescriptions and that she was unaware that Elovil, prescribed for her in October 1992 for a degenerative bone disease, had mood-altering properties.
The court denied defendants' requests to explore these matters before the jury, ruling that Kramer's psychiatric history was too remote, both from the period of her relationship with Armienti and from the subject matter of her testimony. Sasso and Armienti contend that this ruling was an abuse of discretion. We disagree.
The Sixth Amendment's guarantee to a defendant of the right to confront the witnesses against him at a criminal trial includes the right to cross-examine. See, e.g., Delaware v. Van Arsdall, 475 U.S. 673, 678-79, 106 S.Ct. 1431, 1434-35, 89 L.Ed.2d 674 (1986); Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 317-18 (1974). Nonetheless, "trial judges retain wide latitude insofar as the Confrontation Clause is concerned to impose reasonable limits on ... cross-examination based on concerns about, among other things, harassment, prejudice, [and] confusion of the issues." Delaware v. Van Arsdall, 475 U.S. at 679, 106 S.Ct. at 1435. "Cross-examination is not improperly curtailed if the jury is in possession of facts sufficient to make a 'discriminating appraisal' of the particular witness's credibility." United States v. Roldan-Zapata, 916 F.2d 795, 806 (2d Cir.1990) (quoting United States v. Singh, 628 F.2d 758, 763 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 449 U.S. 1034, 101 S.Ct. 609, 66 L.Ed.2d 496 (1980)), cert. denied, 499 U.S. 940 (1991).
Evidence of a witness's psychological history may be admissible when it goes to her credibility. See Fed.R.Evid. 611(b). In assessing the probative value of such evidence, the court should consider such factors as the nature of the psychological problem, see, e.g., Chnapkova v. Koh, 985 F.2d 79, 81 (2d Cir.1993) (paranoid and delusional condition likely to be probative), the temporal recency or remoteness of the history, see, e.g., id. at 81-82 (paranoid delusions five years earlier not too remote); United States v. Bari, 750 F.2d 1169, 1179 (2d Cir.1984) (more than 10 years too remote), cert. denied, 472 U.S. 1019, 105 S.Ct. 3482, 87 L.Ed.2d 617 (1985); United States v. Glover, 588 F.2d 876, 878 (2d Cir.1978) (per curiam) (12 years too remote), and whether the witness suffered from the problem at the time of the events to which she is to testify, so that it may have affected her "ability to perceive or to recall events or to testify accurately," United States v. Butt, 955 F.2d 77, 82 (1st Cir.1992) (internal quotes omitted).
The trial court has discretion to limit such evidence if it determines that the probative value of the evidence is outweighed by its potential for unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or waste of time. See Fed.R.Evid. 403; Chnapkova v. Koh, 985 F.2d at 81. Its decisions on these questions will not be overturned in the absence of an abuse of discretion. See, e.g., id.; United States v. Singh, 628 F.2d at 763.
We see no abuse of discretion here. In light of the nature of Kramer's condition, i.e., a not-unpredictable depression resulting from her involvement in a specific catastrophic event, the fact that her depression was relatively recent did not necessarily suggest that that condition had any probative value. Further, there was no indication that the accident in which she was involved in 1988 had put her in a delusional state or that any medications prescribed through 1990 or beginning in October 1992 would have affected her ability to perceive events or to understand what was said to her from July 1991, when she first met Armienti, until June 1992, when their intimate relationship ended. Indeed, there was no evidence that Kramer received or ingested any mood-altering drugs during the period in which she was involved with Armienti.
Chnapkova v. Koh, on which defendants principally rely to support their contention that the evidence should have been admitted, is entirely distinguishable. In that case, the plaintiff claimed to have been disfigured in plastic surgery, and we held that it was an abuse of discretion for the trial court to exclude evidence that she believed, inter alia, that " 'people were laughing at her' " and were talking about her " 'on the T.V. & radio,' " 985 F.2d at 80 n. 1 (quoting hospital records of the plaintiff's statements). That history of paranoid and delusional behavior indicated that the plaintiff suffered problems of perception, and her perceptions were directly related to the subject matter of the suit. Here, there was no indication that Kramer was delusional or paranoid, or had any difficulties in memory or perception.
It was also well within the discretion of the trial court to bar defendants from introducing the December 1990 and October 1992 prescriptions as evidence of her claimed perjury during the in limine hearing. In light of Kramer's explanation that she did not recall precise dates and did not know the side-effects of Elovil, defendants' perjury theory was factually weak, and the court appropriately concluded that the potential of the two proffered prescriptions for confusing the issues would far outweigh their probative value. See also Fed.R.Evid. 608(b) ("Specific instances of the conduct of a witness, for the purpose of attacking or supporting the witness' credibility, other than conviction of crime as provided in rule 609, may not be proved by extrinsic evidence.").
We note that defendants were able to cross-examine Kramer as to, inter alia, her tendency to overreact, such as by frequently summoning the police, and, on one occasion, weeping at being denied permission to take pictures from the top of the Brooklyn Bridge. They also cross-examined her vigorously as to the proposition that she was biased against Armienti for having left her. In all the circumstances, we see no improper limitation on cross-examination.
2. Sasso's Bruton Claim
Sasso also claims that his right of confrontation was violated by the admission of Kramer's testimony as to Armienti's statements implicating Sasso in the unlawful weapons activities. See Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S. 123, 88 S.Ct. 1620, 20 L.Ed.2d 476 (1968) (admission of nontestifying codefendant's confession may violate defendant's confrontation rights). This argument is largely foreclosed by our decision in United States v. Matthews, 20 F.3d 538, 545-46 (2d Cir.1994) ("Matthews ").
The Confrontation Clause "permits, where necessary, the admission of certain hearsay statements against a defendant despite the defendant's inability to confront the declarant at trial," Maryland v. Craig, 497 U.S. 836, 847-48, 110 S.Ct. 3157, 3164, 111 L.Ed.2d 666 (1990), provided that (1) the declarant is "unavailable" to testify, and (2) the statement "bears adequate 'indicia of reliability,' " Ohio v. Roberts, 448 U.S. 56, 66, 100 S.Ct. 2531, 2539, 65 L.Ed.2d 597 (1980); see also Idaho v. Wright, 497 U.S. 805, 814-15, 110 S.Ct. 3139, 3145-46, 111 L.Ed.2d 638 (1990). The declarant's invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination constitutes unavailability. See, e.g., Matthews, 20 F.3d at 545; United States v. Bakhtiar, 994 F.2d 970, 977 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 114 S.Ct. 554, 126 L.Ed.2d 455 (1993).
A statement incriminating both the declarant and the defendant may possess adequate reliability if (a) the statement was made to a person whom the declarant believes is an ally, not a law enforcement official, and (b) the circumstances surrounding the portion of the statement that inculpates the defendant provide no reason to suspect that that portion is any less reliable than the part that directly incriminates the declarant. See, e.g., Lee v. Illinois, 476 U.S. 530, 541-42, 106 S.Ct. 2056, 2062-63, 90 L.Ed.2d 514 (1986) (inculpation of codefendant resulting from police interrogation of declarant does not of itself bear sufficient indicia of reliability to satisfy Confrontation Clause); Matthews, 20 F.3d at 545-46 (contrasting reliability of statements to authorities with that of statements to friends). In Matthews, we concluded that trustworthiness was adequately indicated by the facts that the statements were volunteered by the declarant to his girlfriend in the private recesses of their home, with no coercive pressures from or attempt to curry favor with authorities, no reason to expect that his admission would ever be disclosed to the authorities, and no attempt to shift blame or minimize the declarant's own culpability. 20 F.3d at 546.
Sasso relies heavily on the Supreme Court's recent decision in Williamson v. United States, --- U.S. ----, 114 S.Ct. 2431, 129 L.Ed.2d 476 (1994) ("Williamson "), which held that under Fed.R.Evid. 804(b)(3), a court must determine whether a particular hearsay statement which incriminates someone other than the declarant is itself inculpatory of the declarant rather than whether the entire narrative of which the statement is a part is self-inculpatory. Id. ---- - ----, 114 S.Ct. at 2434-37. Williamson is not inconsistent with Matthews. First, whereas Matthews concerned only a Confrontation Clause challenge, see 20 F.3d at 544-46, Williamson was limited to the hearsay rule, see --- U.S. at ----, 114 S.Ct. at 2437 ("we need not address Williamson's claim that the statements were also made inadmissible by the Confrontation Clause"). Furthermore, the analyses in the two cases are consistent. In Williamson, the Court interpreted the term "statement" within 804(b)(3) narrowly because it recognized that a declarant might attempt to shift blame to another by mixing within a narrative true self-inculpatory statements and false blame-shifting ones. See --- U.S. at ----, 114 S.Ct. at 2435. Matthews too recognized this problem, see 20 F.3d at 545 ("to the extent that the declarant's statement implicates another person in the crime, it may in some circumstances constitute an attempt to minimize the declarant's own culpability"), and for this reason we rested our decision on the " 'particularized guarantees of trustworthiness' " surrounding the statements, including the fact that the statements inculpated both the declarant and defendant equally, rather than relying on mere proximity to statements inculpatory of the declarant, id. at 546.
The circumstances of Armienti's statements to Kramer strongly suggest that his inculpation of Sasso was reliable. First, Armienti's statements inculpating Sasso equally inculpated Armienti himself in the gun-running conspiracy. There was no effort to shift blame from himself to Sasso. Second, Armienti initially inculpated Sasso in the course of explaining to Kramer that he could not leave his wife because she knew he was gun-running and would tell the police. Implicating Sasso added nothing to the reason Armienti could not leave his wife. If his wife was holding it over his head that he was gun-running, she would be doing so whether his confederate was Sasso or someone else. Thus, even if Armienti were lying about the reason he would not leave his wife, there would have been no reason to falsely bring Sasso into the picture. Armienti also made later statements to Kramer implicating Sasso; those statements by Armienti apparently had no connection with any attempt to explain his marital status. Third, the statements were made to Kramer in private; there was no police or other official interrogation. There was no indication that, when Armienti made his statements to Kramer, the authorities had any knowledge of Armienti's crimes; hence there was no possibility that Sasso was implicated solely to curry favor with the authorities. Finally, it is unlikely that Armienti would have named Sasso as a participant in Armienti's gun-running activities in an attempt to curry favor with Kramer herself. Sasso points out in his brief on appeal that Armienti knew Kramer disliked Sasso. Since, in seeking to placate Kramer, Armienti would be quite unlikely to fabricate his association with someone of whom she disapproved, his statement to Kramer that his gun-running partner was Sasso must be viewed as having strong indicia of truthfulness.
Given the totality of the circumstances as to the content and context of Armienti's statements to Kramer, we conclude that the statements bore sufficient indicia of reliability that their admission against Sasso did not violate Sasso's confrontation rights.
B. The Motion for a New Trial
Following the jury verdicts, defendants moved in the district court for a new trial, arguing that they had newly discovered evidence that Van Allen perjured himself at trial by testifying (1) that he had not violated his cooperation agreement with the government, and (2) that in 1992 he had sold guns almost exclusively to Sasso. The district court denied the motion on the grounds that it was not sufficiently factually supported and that the proffered evidence would not have altered the jury's verdict. Defendants contend that the court erred in so ruling and in not holding an evidentiary hearing. We disagree.
A motion for a new trial based on new evidence is to be granted "only with great caution ... in the most extraordinary circumstances," United States v. DiPaolo, 835 F.2d 46, 49 (2d Cir.1987) (internal quotes and emphasis omitted), where it is "required in the interest of justice," Fed.R.Crim.P. 33. Such relief should be granted only if the evidence is material to the verdict, could not with due diligence have been discovered before or during trial, and is not cumulative. See, e.g., United States v. White, 972 F.2d 16, 20-21 (2d Cir.1992), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 113 S.Ct. 669, 121 L.Ed.2d 593 (1992). Where the allegation is that there is new evidence of perjury, "a threshold inquiry is whether the evidence demonstrates that the witness in fact committed perjury." Id. at 20. If the court finds that perjury was committed unbeknownst to the prosecutor, the materiality element is satisfied if "the court [is left] with a firm belief that but for the perjured testimony, the defendant would most likely not have been convicted." United States v. Wallach, 935 F.2d 445, 456 (2d Cir.1991). Cf. id. ("Where the prosecution knew or should have known of the perjury, the conviction must be set aside if there is any reasonable likelihood that the false testimony could have affected the judgment of the jury." (internal quotes omitted)). It is the defendant who bears the burden of showing that a new trial is called for. See, e.g., United States v. Moore, 54 F.3d 92, 99-100 (2d Cir.1995); United States v. DiPaolo, 835 F.2d at 49. We will not reverse the denial of a new-trial motion or the refusal to conduct an evidentiary hearing absent an abuse of discretion. See, e.g., id. at 51.
In the present case, defendants' motion initially asserted that Van Allen had continued to sell weapons in 1993, and that because his January 12, 1993 cooperation agreement included a pledge not to sell firearms, he therefore perjured himself when he testified at trial that he had complied with that agreement. The motion was supported by a Sasso affidavit stating principally that one Michael Philmus said Van Allen had sold Philmus a gun, whose serial number was specified in the affidavit, "early in 1993." However, the government submitted documentary evidence that the gun bearing that serial number had in fact been transferred by Van Allen to Philmus through a licensed Long Island dealer in July 1992. Defendants, whose proffer was based on hearsay, offered the district court no reason to doubt the veracity of these documents.
The Sasso affidavit also cited an unsworn investigative report as stating that Philmus had "confirmed" that Van Allen sold guns on a certain college campus after his arrest. Given the evidentiary frailties in this assertion, including the reliance on an unsworn communication from a private investigations firm, the conclusory nature of the hearsay statement attributed to Philmus, and the apparent lack of Philmus's personal involvement in the transactions he was alleged to have "confirmed," along with the fact that as to the above-described transaction to which Philmus actually had been a party he was six months wide of the mark in recalling its time frame, the court was hardly required to find the representations in the Sasso affidavit sufficed to warrant a hearing.
In a reply memorandum submitted in support of the new-trial motion, defendants also argued that Van Allen had committed perjury by failing to admit at trial that he sold guns to persons other than defendants; they contended that Van Allen sold 10-15 guns to Philmus. Given Van Allen's testimony that he had purchased and sold nearly 3,000 guns during the period at issue, had sold some 2,000 guns to Sasso in 1992, and had made "99 and a half percent" of his 1992 sales to Sasso (Tr. at 430), the sale of 10-15 guns to a person other than the defendants, even if provable, is not substantially inconsistent with his testimony. In any event, in light of defendants' vigorous cross-examination of Van Allen, which included questions tending to show that some of his initial statements to investigators about sales to Sasso had been inaccurate and that some of the purchases he attributed to Sasso took place during a period when he was not in contact with Sasso, it was well within the court's discretion to find that any impeachment through use of the newly proffered alleged numerical inaccuracy would have been, at best, cumulative.
In sum, we see no abuse of discretion in the court's conclusions that defendants' contention that Van Allen had continued to sell weapons in 1993 was not sufficiently supported, that the alleged numerical discrepancy would not have altered the jury's verdict, and that no evidentiary hearing was required.
C. Other Contentions
Defendants' other contentions include their argument that certain materials should have been turned over to them under the Jencks Act, 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3500 (1988) (witness statements), and Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) (exculpatory materials), and Armienti's complaint that after indicting him, the government improperly caused a grand jury subpoena to be issued for his telephone records for use at trial. Neither contention warrants extended discussion.
The Jencks Act provides, in pertinent part, that a statement in the possession of the government, made by a person called thereafter by the government as a witness in a criminal trial, may be discovered by the defendant after the witness has testified on direct examination at trial. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3500(a). The term "statement" is defined to include not only a prior written statement that the witness had signed or adopted, but also a contemporaneously prepared "substantially verbatim" written record of the witness's oral statement. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3500(e). The statute does not, however, require the government to divulge even verbatim statements by the witness if the writer "merely select[ed] portions, albeit accurately, from a lengthy oral recital." Palermo v. United States, 360 U.S. 343, 352, 79 S.Ct. 1217, 1225, 3 L.Ed.2d 1287 (1959).
We have examined in camera the materials requested by defendants in the present case. We conclude that the trial court properly determined that they were not Brady or Jencks Act material.
As to Armienti's claim of misuse of the power of the grand jury, it is of course improper for the government to use a grand jury subpoena "for the sole or dominant purpose of preparing for trial under a pending indictment." United States v. Leung, 40 F.3d 577, 581 (2d Cir.1994). Where there was some proper dominant purpose for the postindictment subpoena, however, the government is not barred from introducing evidence obtained thereby. See id. There is a presumption that such a subpoena had a proper purpose. See id. at 582.
In this case, the government explained that after the indictment of Armienti, it continued, inter alia, to investigate other individuals whom Kramer had identified only by their first names--e.g., "Peter" to whom Armienti delivered guns--as being part of Sasso and Armienti's gun-running scheme. The grand jury sought Armienti's telephone records in an effort to identify those individuals and to determine whether calls were made between them and Armienti on the days on which guns were being transferred.
We have reviewed the government's submissions and conclude that the trial judge's determination that the government's proffer was sufficient was not erroneous.
D. Armienti's Sentencing Challenges
1. The Fine
The presentence report ("PSR") prepared on Armienti by the Probation Department stated that it appeared that Armienti would be unable to pay a fine. On the strength of that opinion, Armienti challenges the $50,000 fine imposed on him, pointing out that the government did not object to the PSR, and arguing that the court did not articulate a reason for the amount of the fine or indicate that it had considered the requisite factors. We see no error.
The Guidelines provide that "[t]he court shall impose a fine in all cases, except where the defendant establishes that he is unable to pay and is not likely to become able to pay any fine." Guidelines Sec. 5E1.2(a) (emphasis added); see also 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3572(a)(1) (1988) (in imposing a fine, a court is to "consider ... the defendant's income, earning capacity, and financial resources"). The burden is on the defendant to show inability to pay. See, e.g., United States v. Marquez, 941 F.2d 60, 65-66 (2d Cir.1991). Where a fine falls within the Guidelines range, there is no requirement that the court state why it chose that fine. See id. at 65.
The court is not required to accept a defendant's unsubstantiated claim of penury, and it is entitled to reject such a claim when he has refused to cooperate with the Probation Department in exploring his financial resources. See, e.g., United States v. Rivera, 22 F.3d 430, 440 (2d Cir.1994) (sentencing court properly rejected claim of indigence that was based solely on defendant's own self-serving statements that he was without assets, where defendant also expressed a desire to discharge his appointed counsel and to retain counsel of his choosing); United States v. Rosa, 11 F.3d 315, 344 (2d Cir.1993) (same where, inter alia, defendant was less than forthright in refusing to disclose his earnings from his legitimate business, and he was part owner of a home), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 114 S.Ct. 1565, 128 L.Ed.2d 211 (1994); United States v. Marquez, 941 F.2d at 66 (court is "surely not required to accept uncritically a representation" by the defendant that he has no assets).
In the present case, the Guidelines fine range for Armienti was $12,500-$125,000, and Armienti provided no corroboration for his claim of inability to pay. Though the PSR stated that it appeared that Armienti would be unable to pay a fine, it also noted, inter alia, that Armienti had been employed under an alias for more than a decade and that he refused to execute forms necessary for the release of his tax and financial records so that the Probation Department could verify his financial status. Since Armienti was not forthcoming with respect to his financial circumstances, it was well within the province of the district court to find that he had not carried his burden of proving inability to pay.
2. Other Sentencing Challenges
Armienti's other sentencing challenges include the contentions that the district court (a) failed to explain its reason for sentencing him at the top of the Guidelines range; (b) erred in enhancing his sentence pursuant to Guidelines Sec. 2K2.1(b)(4) for defacement of serial numbers; and (c) erroneously failed to find that he played a minimal role in the offense. These contentions are likewise meritless.
As to the first contention, the Guidelines range applicable to Armienti was 92115 months. The Sentencing Reform Act requires that the court explain the reason for its selection of a point within a Guidelines range only when "that range exceeds 24 months." 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3553(c)(1) (1988); see United States v. Martinez-Gonzalez, 962 F.2d 874, 879 (9th Cir.1992) (requirement inapplicable where range is less than 24 months).
As to the other two issues, facts in connection with sentencing need be established only by a preponderance of the evidence, see, e.g., United States v. Concepcion, 983 F.2d 369, 388 (2d Cir.1992), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 114 S.Ct. 163, 126 L.Ed.2d 124 (1993), and the sentencing court's findings of fact will not be overturned unless clearly erroneous, see, e.g., United States v. Rivera, 971 F.2d 876, 893 (2d Cir.1992). A defendant who contends that he is entitled to a reduction in offense level because his role was minimal has the burden of proving that fact. See, e.g., United States v. Garcia, 920 F.2d 153, 156 (2d Cir.1990) (per curiam).
There was ample evidence in the present case that Armienti was entrusted by Sasso with money for delivery to Van Allen, and that he repeatedly picked up guns from Van Allen and delivered them to or for Sasso. Further, though Van Allen testified that he never saw Armienti deface guns, Armienti himself told Kramer of his involvement in grinding the serial numbers off the guns. It was well within the province of the district court to find that Armienti failed to establish that he did not play more than a minimal role in the offense.
Armienti's contention that there was insufficient evidence to warrant enhancement of his sentence for defacement of serial numbers is not properly preserved for appeal, since Armienti did not make this argument in the district court. See, e.g., United States v. Keppler, 2 F.3d 21, 23-24 (2d Cir.1993); United States v. Agramonte, 980 F.2d 847, 850 (2d Cir.1992) (per curiam). In any event, the contention is without merit in light of the evidence discussed above. Armienti's reliance on Opper v. United States, 348 U.S. 84, 89-90, 75 S.Ct. 158, 162-63, 99 L.Ed. 101 (1954), is misplaced, since that case dealt with the sufficiency of an uncorroborated confession to police to establish guilt at a criminal trial beyond a reasonable doubt, not with sufficiency to meet the preponderance standard applicable to sentencing.
We have considered all of defendants' arguments on these appeals and have found them to be without merit. The judgments of conviction are affirmed.

Here is the text of my wedding ceremony earlier this year. I was not able to find any appropriate ceremonies for me, so I wrote my own. I’m posting this for those looking for a wedding ceremony inspired by Objectivist ideas.
(The only thing missing are some readings contributed by our friends and family.)
We gather here today to mark the marriage of Sarah and David. They have invited us to witness their partnership so we may know the nature of their bond and to respect, honor, and celebrate their union.
Prudence will indicate that bonds so total and everlasting should not be entered lightly, and not without due consideration and full knowledge of the commitment they entail. But when two people recognize that they are each other’s highest value, and that their individual happiness depends on each other, it is their sacred right to enter into the partnership of marriage. And so, a decent respect for their friends and family requires that they should declare the reasons that impel them to join and celebrate their marriage.
Ring Warming Ceremony
During this ceremony Sarah and David will exchange rings. These rings are a visible sign of their commitment to one another. As this ceremony proceeds, we invite family and friends to take part in the warming of the rings. We ask that you wish them health and happiness, and all that is noble in life. I ask that each guest hold them for a moment, warm them with your love and make a silent wish for this couple, and their future together. When these rings come back they will contain, in their precious metal, that which is more precious, that which is priceless – your love and hope and pledge of support for their marriage.
[Rings are passed around while ceremony proceeds]
Nature of love
When you find the right person, falling in love is easy. Like the beginning of a fire, love begins with a bright, beautiful flame, hot and fierce, but unstable and flickering. But unless the nature of the fire is properly tended, it may grow out of control and burn out without the chance to become deep, unquenchable embers. Much as man understood and mastered fire, and built upon its careful maintenance great civilizations, so must a couple understand and nurture the fuel of their relationship.
Love, is the emotional response of one person to the virtues of another, the spiritual payment given in exchange for the personal selfish pleasure which one person derives from the virtues of another’s character. Love is the expression of one’s values, the greatest reward we can earn for the moral qualities we have achieved in our character and person—the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another.
To love is to value. It takes a rationally selfish man, a man of self-esteem, to be capable of love—because he is the only man capable of holding firm, consistent, uncompromising, unbetrayed values. The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.
Love is not blind. On the contrary, love is an expression of philosophy – a subconscious philosophical sum of one’s total sense of life, as reflected through another’s soul. When one’s power of reason is called up to support that emotional appraisal, when love is a conscious integration of reason and emotion, of mind and values, then—and only then—it is the greatest reward of man’s life.
Sarah and David have recognized that the bonds between them are not based on any superficial infatuation or momentary qualities, but on their fundamental values, their fundamental way of facing existence. While their views and taste might differ in the particulars, the totality of their approach to living – their sense of life – is in profound harmony. They see in each other the embodiment of the values they strive to achieve in themselves.
Sarah & David are here to declare and publicly acknowledge that they are each other’s highest value. The culmination of their minds and life’s work can only be found, celebrated and lived out in the presence of the other.
Nature of agreement
It is often said that love is sacrifice, that human relationships are built upon surrendering values for the sake of others. Sarah and David do not see it that way.
They do not surrender their independence, nor their goals, but they recognize the unity of their spirits, and their ambitions.
They do not ask each other to sacrifice or to live for the other, but recognize that to seek their own values is to serve their mutual ends and happiness.
They do not ask each other for undeserved, unselfish love, but pledge to strive to earn each other’s love, admiration and respect anew each day.
They aim not to sacrifice their lives to each other, but to seek a profound, personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of each other. It is their own personal, selfish happiness that they seek, earn and derive from love.
They are deeply desperately concerned for each other’s welfare because of the value that it adds to their own lives.
Love derives not from unearned benevolence; instead it comes as a response to a profound value.
Marriage advice (group activity)
[Turn to couple:]
Sarah and David:
Your lives so far have been lived as individuals, maturing physically, mentally, and emotionally, forming the values by which you wish to live the rest of your lives. Today, you make a declaration that you are ready to take the next step in life: to commit to an everlasting bond, to form a family, and together to weather the challenges ahead.
Building lasting relationships is not easy; it’s not automatic; it takes effort and persistence, and mistakes, and learning. To help you navigate some of the early rapids, your friends and family have offered to give you some words of advice for your life together:
Pam & Tom Arceneau:
These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love, that hold yours on your wedding day as you promise to love each other all the days of your life.
These are the hands that will work along side yours as you build your future together.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and care for you throughout the years.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief torments your mind, and, with the slightest touch, will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you struggle, and support and encouragement to chase down your dreams.
These are the hands that will tenderly hold your children, and help keep your family together as one.
These are the hands that will, countless times, wipe the tears from your eyes, tears of sorrow and tears of joy.
And lastly, these are the hands, that even when wrinkled with age, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch—a touch from these hands.
Thank you for your words of wisdom.
Ring Warming Conclusion
These rings, now warmed by those you care for the most will forever show the world you are one. They will carry with them the eternal love and blessing of your friends and family. The wedding rings represent an enduring material announcement of Sarah and David’s affection and commitment to each other.
Sarah and David have prepared their vows for each other:
[Individual vows follow]
In the name of the best within me, I solemnly declare my commitment to establish a lifelong bond with you. I pledge to love, honor, and share my material and spiritual wealth with you, to regard your goals as my own, to leave no corner of my soul closed to you. I pledge to share in your triumphs and tragedies, fortunes and tribulations, gains and obligations, in happiness and sadness. I pledge to love you for all time, and to stay faithful and true to you. I will comfort you in your pain and encourage you with your dreams. As our journey through life begins today, I promise to you that I will forever be by your side and I will be ready to face everything the world has to offer us.
For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on our capacity for rational judgment, I pledge to you my life, my soul, and my sacred honor.
I, Sarah Allen, take you, David Veksler, to be my beloved husband, to have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always. I promise you this to you from my mind, body and soul, for all the days of my life.
I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be.
I love you not so much for your realities as for your ideals. I pray for your desires that they may be great, rather than for your satisfactions, which may be so hazardously little.
A satisfied flower is one whose petals are about to fall. The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud wherein the pangs and ecstasies of desire are working for a larger and finer growth.
Not always shall you be what you are now.
You are going forward toward something great. I am on the way with you and therefore I love you.
[Officiant: David/Sarah, please repeat after me:]
With this ring, I thee wed, and with it, I bestow upon thee all the treasures of my mind, heart, and hands.
I now pronounce you husband and wife. You have established the foundation of your lives together. May you build upon it a prosperous and happy home. You may kiss the bride.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you for the first time as a wedded couple, Sarah and David Veksler.

Raveena Tandon is one Bollywood’s favorite leading ladies. She has donned many avatars on screen and has been loved in all of them. But it’s her off screen persona that people are drawn to and love the most. Raveena is known for being a sporty and spirited person with an abundance of positive energy. When she stepped into world of motherhood, she brought the same spirit to her parenting skills and was soon seen as an ideal loving and balanced parent. It is in the light of these qualities that the whole team of Chhota Bheem chose her for the title of ‘Mighty Mom’ this year. The actress was given the award by Chhota Bheem, Rajiv Chilaka and Samir Jain.
Raveena is seen as a wholesome parent for many reasons. At the age of 21, when she was at the peak of her acting career she adopted two girls Chhaya and Pooja, a commitment not many young actresses would dare to take up. Raveena has two more kids with her husband, a boy Ranbir and elder sister Rasha. The actress was very humbled by this honour.
Raveena was quite excited about the special screening of the Upcoming Chhota Bheem film ‘Chhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure‘ and attended it with the kids from her family and close circle. She really liked the film and as was quite into the film as she was familiar with the characters.
Talking about motherhood and Chhota Bheem, Raveena said, “I enjoyed the film and I knew the characters as so many kids from my family are die hard fans. Chhota Bheem is adorable and he is as big as any superstar. I’m really excited to receive Mighty Mom award from Bheem himself. This will be a first for me. I’m also looking forward to watching the film with kids, such a fun way to start the new year. I think there is a serious dearth of original content for children in India. I hope this year we get to focus on children’s films. Let’s take Chhota Bheem as example – it’s got Indian values and simple story lines above all you can be relaxed with what your child is consuming without fretting”.
Rajiv Chilaka, The creator of Chhota Bheem is equally thrilled about the award going to Raveena this year, he said, “Our philosophy with Chhota Bheem is to connect with the parents and children. That is why motherhood is so important to us. On my interactions with parents, especially mothers, they all say that the best thing about Chhota Bheem is that it does not promote any negative ideas and is very connected with our culture and value set. It is this faith that parents have shown in our character that has helped us grow to this extent.”
The award was presented to one another than Kajol last year and Raveena will be taking the legacy of Mighty Mom award forward.
Chhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure will be hitting theaters across India on 8th January, 2016. The film will be releasing in over 500 screens, one of the widest releases ever received by an Indian animated film. Chhota Bheem and his friends from Dholakpur will be seen going in a grand adventure to the Himalayas.

Great choice, Circus.
Speaking of "to-die-for," how about Nieves Navarro in...
87. The Return of Ringo
Too bad you only get to see her for a second in the trailer. This movie has a fantastic music score by Ennio Morricone, with one of the most haunting and memorable spaghetti western theme songs. It's also a great revenge story with a solid cast featuring the excellent spaghetti western regulars Giuliano Gemma and Fernando Sancho. And, of course, the incredibly stunning Nieves Navarro.

selecting breeding stock
how to choose wisely
When it is time to select your breeding pair. Well, I hate to break the news to you, but unless you have quality breeding stock to start with, you will NEVER produce any quality bettas. Considering the fact that it takes the same amount of time, space, money and work to raise a crop of crappy bettas or one of splendid specimens, it seems obvious (well, at least to ME LOL) that breeding quality stock is wiser. It is also easier to give away, trade, sell quality bettas than it is to unload bettas that look like Quasimodo (you know, the Hunchback of Notre Dame) on a bad day :). In short, make your life easier and a little more spent upfront will go a looong way. So here is some advice as to how to select good breeding stock, and the do and don't of purchasing bettas for breeding purposes. Listen to mother: I know best.
Avoid pet store bettas like the plague. I have covered the topic in length in my very first Bettatalk Radio show, so here is a little synopsis for those of you who missed it: Pet store bettas are not suitable breeders for many reasons, but here are just a few:
So do yourself and the betta hobby a BIG favor and don't propagate bad pet store betta genes.
flashier bettas. As I said above, only younger
bettas are suitable breeders and most often, the younger the better.
Young bettas may not look very striking, as they have not yet
had a chance to blossom and to grow striking finnage. They are
usually much smaller than adult bettas. The beginner breeder may not
know how to pick breeders and will automatically go for the larger
flashier bettas, not understanding he or she is making a mistake in
doing so. Seasoned breeders will always go for young, smaller pairs.
Hence if you spot the photo of a male with big fins on a site, you
should run as fast as you can in the opposite direction! Hugh. Wise
Buffalo has spoken.
Pick the proper size breeders. If your male is big, then pick a big female. But if he is small then you must find a suitably sized female for him. The rule is the female should be of equal or lesser size then the male. Never bigger. Do not worry about the female being "full with eggs" this is just a bunch of #@*! and all females will produce eggs, whether they look big or not. Sometimes, a female that is "full of eggs" will actually become a problem for the male who can no longer wrap around her properly, resulting in failure to fertilize the eggs (duh).
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Always buy at least two pairs of each strain. Hey!! Here is another concept that seems to never sink in. What do I have to do to make you listen? Hammer it in? Yeah? OK. Here it goes. Repeat after me:
" I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain, I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain"
Howz that? Huh? What did I hear you say? Did I just hear you say that maybe you could just be ok with only one pair because... STOP! I don't want to know what kind of lame excuse you have come up with to justify cutting corners once again and shooting yourself in the footsie!! Obviously you were not listening a moment ago so you will write down 100 times for next week :
"I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain"
That should cure you. (I hope?)
:) seriously, here are a few reasons why it is imperative to
purchase more than just one pair of any strain at one time:
As you can see, for all above reasons, it just makes sense to grab two pairs always. See? Aren't you glad you repeated "I will always buy at least two pairs of each strain" a billion times? :)
Buy ONLY from a reputable breeder. Buy only from a knowledgeable, reputable, established, experienced, ethical, seasoned IBC breeder. I cover this in the next section so visit the selecting a seller page so to avoid common mistakes.

For those of you who like to visit the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, here’s an update on the changes in the surrounding area. A news article in today’s Salt Lake Tribune tells that the last two retail tenants in the almost empty ZCMI Center shopping mall will be out in a few weeks. Then the mall will be demolished. The Crossroads Plaza mall is already mostly gone. These complexes and other buildings will be replaced by City Creek Center, a retail, office, and residential complex. Project completion is scheduled for mid-2011.

The Gateway shopping and entertainment area remains open and continues to add more elements. It now has an Office Depot store!

Neftekhimik in the final
We now know the finalists of the Governor of Chelyabinsk Region Cup. Neftekhimik, after a 2-1 shootout victory over Metallurg Magnitogorsk, claimed first place in the group, and the Nizhnekamsk men will play Alexander Barkov’s “Magnitka” again in the final. Doing battle for third place will be Traktor and Avangard. Today’s meeting between the two sides ended in a 4-2 win for the Omsk men.
Dynamo crush Spartak
In the second round of games of the Governor of Nizhny Novgorod Region Cup, Dynamo Moscow inflicted a 5-1 hammering on Spartak. The Red-and-Whites even opened the scoring on 10 minutes, but the Blue-and-Whites equalized just 12 seconds later, and from then on they did not give Spartak a chance of fighting back. In the second game of the day Torpedo beat Metallurg Novokuznetsk 2-0, with Vitaly Koval earning the first shutout of the tournament.
Severstal, currently training in Switzerland, have now lost two out of two friendlies on their trip. This time Dmitry Kvartalnov’s men were guests of Lugano, and the hosts won 5-2. Lehtonen and Panshin scored the KHL team’s goals. The Cherepovets men have two more games left on their tour.
Barys beaten, SKA victorious
More news from Switzerland: the preseason Basel Summer tournament has got under way, and two KHL teams are taking part. In the first game Barys went down 3-5 to Finnish JYP Jyväskylä, with Boyd, Starchenko and Kaspar scoring for the Astana men. Barys allowed the fifth goal after replacing the goaltender. Petersburg’s Army Men fared much better, handing out a 7-0 thrashing to the hosts. Denis Denisov started the rout in the first period, Gleb Klimenko and Maxim Rybin scored in the second, and in the final third Petr Prucha, Fedor Fedorov, Maxim Afinogenov and Kirill Koltsov also hit the target.
Vůjtek in charge
Vladimír Vůjtek, famous in Russia for his work with Lokomotiv, Ak Bars and Dynamo Moscow, has been appointed head coach of Slovakia’s national team. Vůjtek’s will prepare the team for the next World Championships and then the Sochi Olympics. Hockey fans may remember that Vladimír wanted to end his coaching career when he left Dynamo Moscow.
On trial in Khabarovsk
Amur have given tryout contracts to defenseman Andrei Kruchinin and forward Evgeny Korotkov. Kruchinin wanted to spend the coming season with Severstal, but the Cherepovets club would not offer him a full contract. Korotkov spent last season playing in the colors of CSKA, but after 33 outings he only had a single assist in his account.
Petersburg’s Army Men continue to strengthen their roster. The latest player to sign a contract with SKA is Igor Makarov, who has spent a long time trying to establish himself in North America. The forward has, however, managed to play in the KHL, clocking up 100 games for SKA and Dynamo Moscow, scoring 15 goals and assisting on 12 more. Makarov was at his most prolific in the first season of the KHL, when he hit 9 goals for the Petersburg men.
Ready for action
There have been elaborate preparations for the new campaign in Yaroslavl. At the Arena-2000 it was decided to replace the video cube. The old one, after ten years on duty, was showing its age and the display was not bright enough. In addition, illuminated scoreboards will be installed all along the upper perimeter of the stands.
The players have also been busy, meeting the fans at an open day in Yaroslavl. One of the events was a “Master-Show” skills competition, during which Robert Dietrich proved to be the team’s fastest player.
Quote of the day
“We’ve made our offer. From his side the answer is down to Yashin. Or to a greater extent, as I understand it, his agent," – Avtomobilist head coach Ilya Byakin on his attempt to sign Alexei Yashin.

Monzo, the UK’s leading digital bank, is preparing to offer Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services as part of it’s offerings.
According to reports from two reputable sources cited in the Evening Standard, the fintech’s foray into BNPL will make it a direct competitor of European heavyweight, Klarna and global payment giant, PayPal.
The report stated that Monzo, which has so far declined to comment on the matter, would be one of the first regulated banks to launch such a payment product, could make a formal announcement as soon as next week.
The news follows on from another recent report that Revolut (which does have a banking license but is not classed as a fully-fledged bank in the UK) is also working on a BNPL service.
Barclays has also announced its intentions to enter the space, which is currently dominated by the Jack Dorsey-owned Afterpay, Clearpay, PayPal, and Klarna. Apple also paired up with Affirm last month and looks set to make its own BNPL offering shortly.
Buy Now Pay Later is an alternative way for customers to purchase their goods and is used commonly on eCommerce sites. The service enables users to spread their payments over several instalments without interest being added to the cost.
According to the Finacial Conduct Authority, an estimated five million people in the UK are currently using BNPL services.
The sources said the Monzo project, which would likely feature credit checks for customers, will also use affordability scores. These are elements that are currently not being used by the major BNPL providers. Data will also be shared with credit agencies to provide market lenders with a profile on customer debt and credit status.
Customers and debt
However, some experts have warned against the BNPL revolution, citing its services as an easy way to lead users into debt.
Helander believes the trend towards BNPL schemes, which have exploded in recent years, could lead to serious problems as they target younger generation spenders and propagate a culture of debt.
“A concerning by-product of the online lending revolution has been the emergence of buy now pay later schemes (BNPL) over the past couple of years which are marketed almost entirely to millennials, brainwashing them with the idea that debt is a good thing,”
She adds, “There’s something inherently and morally wrong about that, and if the online lending revolution doesn’t slow down any time soon, we risk a significant consumer financial crisis.”

Another from last week's reading - opening salvo in the Holger Munch & Mia Kruger series.
From the Blurb:
A six year old girl is found hanging from a tree. Around her neck is an airline tag which says 'I'm travelling alone'.
A special homicide unit in Oslo is re-opened with veteran police investigator Holger Munch at the helm. He must convince his erstwhile partner, Mia Kruger, an extremely talented but eccentric investigator, to leave the solitary island to which she has retreated in order to take her own life.

One New Ludgate, Land Securities Office Building, English Architecture Images
One New Ludgate in London
Mixed-Use Building Proposal, South London, UK for Land Securities – design by Fletcher Priest Architects
26 Dec 2016
One New Ludgate
Design: Fletcher Priest Architects
Location: London, UK
One New Ludgate
Fletcher Priest is delighted that One New Ludgate has won the Developer Project of the Year with the client Land Securities at the LEAF awards. Entries were received from all over the world for this prestigious award which also saw Calatrava receive a lifetime achievement award.
New Ludgate is the transformation of a City block into a generous and lively new quarter for London. It sets up a dialogue between two striking and complementary new buildings whilst reinstating and improving the public realm around it and new routes through the city block.
It is, in essence, a new piece of city.
It is a site redolent with history. From here the Belle Sauvage coaching inn welcomed or saw off numerous fictional and real travellers; Pocahontas and London’s first live rhinoceros paid visits. Later came railway engineers who put an iron viaduct across Ludgate Hill, and World War II, which left the site in ruins.
The site on the old city wall of Ludgate Hill was formerly home to some outdated 1980s office buildings, the tallest element of which breached Primrose Hill viewing corridor height restrictions, and which offered little in the way of public amenity, with a dull sunken arcade at its lower levels.
Fletcher Priest was asked to masterplan the site in collaboration with Sauerbruch Hutton by Land Securities, separating it into two headquarter-sized office buildings – Two New Bailey to the north, designed by Sauerbruch Hutton with Fletcher Priest as executive architect, and One New Ludgate designed by Fletcher Priest.
By creating a new passageway between the two – a route named Belle Sauvage after the 15th century coaching inn that once operated nearby and featured in Pickwick Papers and Tom Brown’s Schooldays – the scheme could also form a new open space at the east that catches the lunchtime sun for office workers and the public alike. The square here – with a nod to precedents in Rome, is defined by façades and plays off an existing terracotta Victorian elevation opposite. This space has been designed with as little of a ‘corporate’ feel as possible.
Around the site, street lines, grades and views are repaired and improved, such as the processional route to the western entrance of St Paul’s.
This, along with much of the massing of the scheme and the curve of the street, was generated by the St Paul’s view corridor, while the main design idea was to reinstate the connection of old City lanes from Farringdon, building on a site that is steeped in history and where the Fleet River used to flow.
The 165,000 sq ft One New Ludgate building itself comprises nine storeys plus ground floors. It is animated by bars and retail outlets under fixed white glass awnings. The building uses a façade concept of a masonry grid that keeps off direct sunlight and throws light onto the floorplates and, when viewed obliquely from the street’s wide pavements, gives a solidity to the building. ‘We wanted something quite cool and modern, whereas the other building may be more playful’, says Steve Barton, Partner Fletcher Priest Architects.
White precast concrete frames, simply detailed, respect their neighbours and set off the floor-to-ceiling low-ion glazing, while vivid amber ‘Kathedral’ glass fins are used on the piazzetta ‘accent’ façade in the new public space, where a mature tree provides shade and visual link for Belle Sauvage. A floating plane of photovoltaic cells lines the roofscape along with plant and a green roof, while both buildings flank a still-operating two and a half-storey city electrical interchange, which allows light into the heart of the site.
One New Ludgate also boasts extensive private external space, accessible from every office floor. This includes set-back loggia and balconies and a substantial south-facing terrace with uninterrupted views of St Paul’s which is capable of accommodating 300 people at the fifth floor set-back level, landscaped as elsewhere by Gustafson Porter.
Retail and restaurants line the ground floor, reinstated at grade, while the passageway’s York stone paving morphs from standard York stone into dark granite to draw pedestrians through. In terms of sustainability, both buildings on the site are BREEAM ‘Excellent’, influenced mainly in One New Ludgate’s case by the amount of daylighting it has been designed to achieve, reducing the need for artificial light on the office floors.
The collaboration helped the planning and letting process with both teams of architects appearing at committee and helping to achieve a relatively straight forward passage through the planning system. There were a lot of gains for the city including the repair of the public realm, wider pavements, the new element of public space and the reinstatement of the St Paul’s viewing heights so that the breach was taken away.

Our guest blogger this week is Christie Seidl, a massage therapy student from The Body Therapy Center and School of Massage in Swansea, Illinois. Christie will obtain her MBLEx certification this August, and currently has her ASCP MLT certification and an associates degree in laboratory science.
For people with ALS, muscle spasms are a common and sometimes painful occurrence. Spasms and cramps are characterized by a sudden, involuntary contraction of muscles, and are the result of the ongoing disruption of signals from the nerves to the muscles that occurs in ALS. There are four simple techniques you can use to help alleviate the pain and help stop the spasm.
The first method to try is compression. The easiest way to do this is to use one or two hands to compress and hold pressure to the active spasm. You can do this yourself or a caregiver can do this for you. Another way is to use compression bandages or sleeves during the active spasm.
A second method is light stretching. Gently stretch the muscle but do not over stretch or vigorously stretch the muscle. This can make the spasm worse.
The third method to try is the use of hot and cold contrast treatment. This contrast is achieved by using either hot and cold compresses or hot and cold baths. A cold compress for example is an ice pack and a hot compress is a microwaveable rice pack. An example of a cold bath is cold water with ice and a warm bath would be with hot water but do not burn yourself. When using a bath you want to be able to submerge the entire muscle. This method always starts and end using the cold method of choice. Start by leaving the cold pack on for 10 mins and then switch to the hot pack or water for 10 mins. Then rotate cold and hot method three times and end with one more cold application.
The last but most effective option is a little more difficult. This fourth method is called reciprocal inhibition. “When an agonist contracts, in order to cause the desired motion, it usually forces the antagonists to relax. This phenomenon is called reciprocal inhibition because the antagonists are inhibited from contracting.”(Appleton, 1996) This is accomplished by activating the antagonist muscle. An antagonist muscle is a muscle that does the opposite job or function of the muscle that is having the spasm. For example: if you have a spasm in your biceps, the antagonist would be the triceps. If you have a spasm in the calf (gastroc or soleus) the antagonist would be the front of your leg (tibialis anterior) or hamstrings and quads.
Now, the way to activate the antagonist is to put pressure or resistance up against that muscle and press against it. For example: if you have a muscle spasm in you calf, put pressure or resistance against your shin and use the muscles in your leg to press against it. I do this by using my hand against my shin or the front of my leg against a wall with my knee bent and try to straighten my leg.
The reason this last method works is because the antagonist and the muscle with the spasm cannot work at the same time. Therefore; when you make that opposite muscle work the spasm must relax.
Muscle spasms are not a comfortable thing to live with but there are ways to help shorten the length of the spasm and help alleviate the pain. Always consult a physician if the spasms become worse or more frequent. I hope these techniques help and know that you are not alone.

*A recent study led by Dr. Bjorn Oskarsson from the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and supported by The ALS Association demonstrated that mexiletine, a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, reduced the frequency and severity of muscle cramps. Ask your healthcare provider for more information.
