Ron Artest (he goes by Meta World Peace these days) is a well-known basketball player and sports celebrity.
You may be familiar with his legendary temper, which in 2004 won him a seventy-three game suspension, the longest suspension for an on-court incident in NBA history. In addition to his anger on the court, Ron was arrested twice for violence against his wife. What you may not know is that this impulsive celebrity is using his star power for good. After winning the NBA title with the Lakers in 2010, Ron told a reporter, “I’d like to thank my psychiatrist. She really helped me relax.” Since then, he has met with U.S. policymakers to advocate for mental health in schools. Instead of leading the game in suspensions due to violence, he is leading the way on anger management.
All emotions have similar characteristics, but anger, in its simplest form, is the most passionate of them all. An angry person becomes stronger and more energized when the fight/flight response is engaged.
Have you ever let your angry emotions get the best of you?
A ubiquitous emotion, it arises from restraint. When we are confronted, many of us will internalize the feelings, rather than outwardly express anger. It also arises when we assess and ultimately interpret that our goals or plans have been interfered with, or a barrier has been placed in the way of an established goal.
Anger increases people’s sense of control, which is directed at overcoming or righting the restraint we perceive as illegitimate. The anger-based attack can be verbal or non-verbal. Other common responses are to express hurt feelings or avoid the person all together.
Anger as the most passionate emotion is also the most dangerous. In this form, its purpose is to destroy barriers in the environment. About one-half of anger episodes include yelling or screaming, and about 10 percent of anger episodes lead to physical aggression. When anger prompts physical aggression, needless injury occurs. An anger-fueled temper is also a health and wellness liability, increasing the person’s likelihood of a heart attack.
Anger is responsible for destroying marriages and relationships. On average, twenty people per minute are victims of physical violence by an intimate partner in their home, which equals 10 million men and women worldwide.
But anger can also be a productive emotion when it energizes vigor, strength, and endurance. People who express anger positively get more respect than those who express sadness and guilt. Anger has a social function, too. Emotional expressions of one person can prompt behavioral interactions of another. When we bare our teeth, others are placed on warning. When one shows anger, it can be a social deterrent that others will pick up on.
Not only does anger help us cope, it also energizes and directs behavior to help people around us respond in ways that produce results for the common good.
It’s important to remember, that despite the reputation anger has, there are no bad emotions. The emotion is not something we should eliminate or suppress. All emotions are beneficial because they direct attention and channel behavior. It is the matter in which we go about it that affects the desired outcome. Utilizing techniques that will calm us down long enough to not act on impulse if the act is not warranted is how we can tame the angry monster within.
1. Assess the situation and what it means to us.
2. Practice calming breathing techniques.
3. Keep an anger journal to explore situations and their personal relevance.

In its first season, the Hard Enduro Series Germany has had a bumpy ride. This is certainly desirable with the Hard Enduro, but certainly not when it comes to holding the events. After the Wiesel-X the ESX Neugattersleben has to be cancelled on August 18th. The reason for this is the extreme drought in Germany. Although it rained a little yesterday in the region, this is too little to bring the grassland fire index to a lower value.
Sven Schimanski of MC Nienburg explains: "We were less affected by the forest fire level but rather by the grassland fire index. This is still at least 4 days at level 4 out of 5, which is clearly too high, which means that we do not get permission to carry it out. For the week until 18.08. where the race should have taken place there is still hardly any rain in sight, instead the temperatures are rising again to 30 degrees and more".
For the organizer MC Nienburg who is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year this is especially hard but the HardEnduroSeries Germany is not the only series that is affected by it. The DEM race in Burg (about 30km away from Neugattersleben), the regional championship in Rehna and countless motocross races have already been cancelled. An improvement is also not immediately in sight. Positive to report is that there is a replacement run for the HardEnduroSeries Germany, which takes place on 03.11.2018 in Schwepnitz.
Series manager Denis Günther is pleased about the new addition to the series: "We have been in contact with Quadpoint Schwepnitz e.V. since May. At that time we were talking about the replacement for the Wiesel-X, unfortunately there were still scheduling problems. So we are all the more pleased that it has now worked out and we can go into the season extension on 03.11.".
The date on 03.11. has been deliberately chosen with the Quadpoint Schwepnitz e.V.. For the first edition of the "Isegrim-Enduro" there is hardly any overlapping of dates, an earlier date would have led to problems. Patrick Jentzsch from the organising team explains how the special race names come about: "We have the largest number of wolves in the region in Germany. Since the wolf stands for hardness, we find it an ideal name for a hard enduro." Schwepnitz is geographically located in the east of Germany, just northeast of Dresden. The entries for the run start on 03.09.2018 at 12.00 o'clock.
But first the Melz Exdrähm is scheduled for 16.09.2018. Entries can still be made at www.hardenduro-germany.de .

After twelve days of rice, potatoes, and fatty meats, my body is screaming for a break from Portuguese cuisine. And southern Spain has brought me relief. The tapas concept is my way to eat: small portions, variety, delicious food, and lively conversation. Plus, it’s a local thing, not touristy at all.
We learned an important cultural lesson the first night in Sevilla. if you see a tapas bar that’s not crowded, keep walking. It means the food won’t be that good and you won’t have any fun.
Sevilla and Granada have different approaches to the tapas experience. I’ll explain both, and you can give me your preference. We’ll see how adventurous you are.
In Sevilla you pay for all your tapas (around $3 per plate or less). For lunch we stopped at the most famous venue, Los Coloniales, and had their specialty of fried eggplant and honey. After our siesta we went to El Eslava. Like lunchtime, the restaurant was packed, so we squeezed up to the bar and befriended the nicest locals.
Actually, we needed them to explain the nuances of tapa eating. The typical thin-sliced ham (Jamon Iberica) should be wrapped around bread nuggets that come in a bag. Who would have known? They talked us into trying a mini cupcake-shaped tapa of a tiny egg yolk on wild mushrooms. And made us get the alternate to gazpacho because tomatoes are not yet ripe. Both were great. The friendly, hardworking waiter who wanted to practice English brought aged cheese ice cream, another house specialty. All this I ate with one glass of Spanish wine.
In Granada, tapas are free with each drink, but you don’t get to choose. The restaurant’s job is to wow you with the first tapa, so you’ll stay on and keep drinking. The first restaurant brought us calamari in a sauce with canned peas. That’s something I never order, so we left, even though the historic atmosphere with fifty hams or so dangling from the ceiling to cure was so quaint. Risking a huge crowd, we walked to LaTana recommended by both Rick Steves and Anthony Bourdain.
Fortunately we arrived early enough to score the last table. The first tapa was a delicious green salsa on bread and came with a dry local red wine recommended by the only waiter who was some kind of certificated wine expert. The next set was unrecognizable—possibly tapenade—but good. On the third round, I switched to water, which still qualified for a free-bee, a salmon spread with a sardine. Thanks again to Rick Steves for his usual great advice.
This is how our days have unfolded this week: morning sightseeing, tapas, siesta, reading, tapas. My husband and I think we must have Spanish roots, because this life style feels so natural. You only eat as much as you need. Nothing wasted. If you end up where you don’t like the food or the crowd, you pay your two or three Euros and move on. It's good to walk between courses.
So what approach appeals to you--enlisting the help of locals to choose your meal, or letting the waiter pick?

In my continuing effort to ward off the Tight-Pants Monster, I have been trying out lots of new recipes and snacks. I love granola bars, but have realized that a lot of them have many mysterious ingredients. Since one of my goals is to eat less processed food, I wanted to see if I could find an alternative!
So, I went and browsed Pintrest for a simple, basic, and healthy granola bar recipe.
Fortunately, the granola bars were a success! I do think, however, that I'll add just a touch more honey next time or do a better job of squishing them in the pan. They do stick together, but I'd like them to be a little less crumbly! Otherwise, they are soft, yummy, and I can pronounce all the ingredients!
Mix all dry ingredients together. Add honey. Melt peanut butter and pour into the bowl. Mix it up well and make sure it is well-moisened If you want, you could add some other nuts or chocolate! If you do, you may need to add more honey or peanut butter (by tablespoon) until the mixture is nice and moist.
Place parchment paper into a 9x13 baking dish (or greased pan). Press half of the mixture firmly into the pan. Add a thin layer of the fruit preserves (I used fig/strawberry preserves!), add the remaining mixture to the top and press firmly. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool. Cut. Eat up!
I got 12 good sized granola bars out of the mix, plus some extra crumbs that are super yummy in yogurt!
After they cooled, I wrapped them up in tin foil and then put them into a little snack baggie for an on-the-go snack.
I'm excited to make them again and try a chocolate version! Or maybe something with pumpkin...the possibilities are endless!

It may seem improbable or even impossible that a vehicle could get better than the 2014 CR-V, yet the 2015 Honda CR-V changes are on display in our showroom at Central Illinois Honda Dealers show just that; this CR-V is better than ever before. So, let’s take a look at what’s happened to the CR-V to make it even more impressive.
While there are plenty of small changes every model year, there is one update to the CR-V that makes it stand out not only above previous models but above competing crossovers. The 2015 CR-V has a brand new engine under the hood.
The 2.4L four-cylinder engine is rated at 185 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque—that’s an increase in power over the previous model year.
Each 2015 Honda CR-V 2WD model earns an EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of 34 mpg,* while the 2014 model only earned 31 highway mpg.
Now, those two updates might be enough for you to get behind the wheel of the new CR-V, but this crossover is about more than just its engine.
The 2015 CR-V also takes the idea of “standard features” to a whole new level, giving drivers access to some of the best in automotive technology at even the entry-level LX trim.
Bluetooth HandsFreeLink: Connect your compatible smartphone to Honda’s i-MID infotainment system to make handsfree calls and stream audio. You can even connect directly to your Pandora account for your own custom stations.
I-MID infotainment system: The Honda i-MID is an exclusive interface that lets you manage your CR-V’s cabin settings, music, and more.
Rearview camera: The standard rearview camera with guidelines makes backing up and parallel parking simple and easy.
And that’s just the start of the standard features; with four trim levels available, it’s easy to find the CR-V for you.
We can spend all day telling you about what makes the 2015 Honda CR-V one of the most impressive vehicles in its class, but in the end, you really must take the vehicle for a test drive to experience it for yourself. Visit a Central Illinois Honda Dealer near you to let us show you what the CR-V is capable of.

It's always a strange thing to find oneself positioned as an 'expert'. Today I found myself addressing 20 wide-eyed third-year statistics students on the art of the presentation. I was, it seems, the expert on presentations, and provided advice and guidance based almost entirely on what not to do, based on the cumulative experiences over educational technology conferences and educational media conferences over the last 10 years. Curiously, and worryingly, effective.

The S&DAA has the fishing rights to the branch of the Rufford Canal from the area below Plox Brow, Tarleton south to the bridge at Fettlers Wharf Marina, Rufford. Day tickets are available from any of our regular outlets.
The canal can offer choice fishing for match and pleasure anglers alike with most coarse fish stocked. Bream, roach, perch, rudd, tench, crucians, carp, pike and eels are all present. Tip: During the spring period, we have weekly matches at various points along the canal, so check-out our match results to give you an idea of how it's fishing.
Please be aware that there are places with power lines close to the towpath.
1. Any gates used must be closed when not in use.
2. Trees, plants, bushes or hedges must not be cut or trimmed nor should anyone remove any turf, sand, soil, clay or materials from the banks or towpaths without the prior permission of the Canal & Rivers Trust through the Secretary of the Southport & District Angling Association.
3. Fishing is restricted to the towing path side of the waterway.
c. the passage of other legitimate users along the towpath.
a. fish in a lock and within 25 meters of a lock wall or moveable bridge used for navigation purposes.
b. Fish within prohibited signed zones adjacent to overhead power lines.
c.Trespass on any property adjoining the waterway or from cause annoyance or inconvenience to the owners or occupiers thereof.
6. The Canal & Rivers Trust requires members of the Association to produce for inspection their membership cards at the request of any representative of the CRT while fishing on their waters.
Diamond Jubilee Road, Rufford: Postcode for SatNav: L40 1TD. Please park alongside St. Mary's church on Church Road (behind the church itself). Please try not to obstruct the access to the houses - we don't want to cause any unnecessary friction with any residents or the congregation at the church - particularly on Sundays. Access to the canal is via the slipway down to the towpath from the bridge.
Sparks Bridge, Rufford: Postcode for SatNav: L40 1SU. We have permission from the local landowner to park on his agricultural hardstanding, which is alonside Sparks Bridge on Croston Road (A581). Please remember that this is agricultural hardstanding so there will be farm implements, bales of haylage, etc. on this site throughout the year. Members must be vigilant when using this land and park their vehicles with a bit of thought & common-sense. If the hardstanding is full, please park on Sparks Lane on the opposite side of the canal and walk over the bridge to access the towpath.
Lock Lane, Sollom: Postcode for SatNav: PR4 6FS. Turn off the A59 at Sollom, onto Liverpool Old Road (accessible at either end of the hamlet). Lock Lane is clearly visible and leads you down to the canal at Strand Bridge. There is space at the side of the bridge for 8 cars if parked sensibly. Please don't be tempted to park across the access to the towpath, the gardens of Barrowford House or across the front of the pasture gates at the side of Sollom Lane. If residents are inconvenienced by thoughtlessly-parked vehicles, they are within their rights to call the Police.
Bank Bridge, Tarleton: Postcode for SatNav: PR4 6HJ. There is restricted access to the canal at Bank Bridge, which is the bridge over the Rufford Canal & the River Douglas at Tarleton which carries the A59. There is a set of double gates which lead to the towpath. There is space to park no more than 5 cars inside the gates, as long as they are parked in a line, alongside the waters-edge. In summer, DO NOT park on the field.
Plox Brow Tarleton; Postcode for SatNav: PR4 6HB. Plox Brow is accessed from Church Road/Coe Lane corner in Tarleton. Once down at the canalside, there are a few places cars can be parked. There is a car park next to the swing bridge, and there are spaces to park next to the canal next to W H Hull's premises (towards the boatyard). There are places to park cars to the right of the swingbridge, but only with any safety (and without obstructing access to business premises) at weekends. Again, as with other locations - please use some common-sense when parking your vehicle. We want to have good relationships with landowners and residents, so spare a thought for others when you park your vehicle.

If we're talking exhibition space only, the best area museum would have to be Lake Worth's Museum of Contemporary Art, a small but aesthetically appealing and tremendously versatile facility that's intimate without being claustrophobic. But if we're talking museum in the larger sense of the word -- as a cultural entity -- the winner is Fort Lauderdale's Museum of Art, which has begun to shake off some of its stodginess. From last year's landmark Cuban exiles show to a refreshingly quirky Hortt Competition, the museum is opting for more and more adventurous programming. It also makes its auditorium available to other worthy arts organizations, including theater groups and the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival.

Home eclectic homeschooling Stop homeschooling and teach your kid some tolerance!
If you have been homeschooling for awhile, I’m sure you have heard the argument that children need a classroom setting to learn to get along with people quite different from themselves. Accepting people for who they are is a concept that many adults feel must be learned and practiced in a traditional classroom setting.
I disagree. As a homeschooler, I expect that you would expect me to disagree. Buy why? I teach my children to see and treat others with love and kindness. I teach my children about people who are different and when they are exposed to different people in their life, they get to practice showing love and kindness to those people. In other words, teaching tolerance is important to me. By tolerance, I mean that every person on this planet deserves to be treated kindly no matter what they believe or who they are. I might not agree with everything or everyone out there, but I can seek to understand their perspective and show them love and kindness whether I agree with them or not.
If you consider the idea that I value my child to learn tolerance, why would I put my child in a situation where he is constantly exposed to intolerance as something that is normal? Too tall, too short, too fat, too skinny, too loud, too quiet, too smart, too (you name it) are all reasons for teasing and bullying in a typical school environment. If you are different in some way, you are a target. I want my children to learn to appreciate others and treat other humans with kindness and love whether they are different or not. A schoolroom culture works against that.
Homeschooling allows your child’s primary exposure to be to the family unit. Parents can model tolerance in their everyday life and in their instruction. They can model kindness and love for others. They can teach their children about people different from themselves and provide a way for the child to practice those skills in everyday life.
A local school typically is restricted to children of a close geographical area. Most students also share a similar socioeconomic status as well. You may have different personalities and different cultural backgrounds, but in general the kids have grown up in the same part of the world and have been exposed to many of the same things as the other students.
On another note, the tolerance that is typically taught in schools helps a child learn to get along with different people he might meet in his neighborhood school instead of the planet. It doesn’t really address the greater picture. If I want my child to learn to get along with others on this planet, I need to have a wider focus than just learning how to appreciate people we might meet when we are walking down the street.
Do we teach our children in schools to learn to understand and appreciate the culture of places like Iran or Afghanistan? Do we teach our children in schools about the different religions so we can understand the beliefs of so many around this world? Do we teach our children in schools about history from a lens of an outsider? The answer is outstandingly no.
If I want my children to learn to understand those different from themselves, my choice is easy. I will continue to homeschool.

Often the first step in significantly improving your home or property is investing in some new windows, doors and cladding. In addition to adding value to a property, new windows can really add to the appearance of a home and in terms of reduced heating bills can be a cost effective option too.
While it can be tempting to choose cheaper options for windows, appearances can be deceptive. While brand new frames may look good, there is much more to window fitting and construction than the appearance.
Other considerations will be the security, ease of cleaning and maintenance, and effectiveness of the glass and surrounds in keeping out the harsher elements of the weather.
Monarch Developments use only the highest quality Kommerling and Swish PVCu products supplied by 21st Century Windows and Doors. Their quality materials and our expertise in installing the best quality products will ensure you get pleasure along with enhanced comfort for many years ahead.
A great deal of time and effort is spent planning how your dream home should look. But sometimes the fundamental details are overlooked. Your home needs constant protection from the elements. To constantly protect your home from the elements, quality cladding is essential. Fascias and gutters are vital in providing this protection and must be in good condition to be effective.
By selecting products from our quality fabricators we can match the right windows, doors and cladding for your property. We can also offer a comprehensive selection of PVCu white colour or wood grains. We also offer hardwood and Scandinavian pine windows and doors which are normally factory painted.
Complete windows can be offered with a U value as low as 0.7.
Double glazed and triple glazed units.
Safety toughened glass and laminated glass.
U values as low as 0.7 achieved with soft coat low intensity argon gas filled units.
Units can be provided with leaded or Georgian design, also coloured stained glass designs.
To choose Monarch Windows and Doors to carry out your project would be a wise decision as we give you personal attention from the outset. Our prices are competitive, our designers pride themselves with attention to detail on all our designs and our workmanship is highly recommended throughout the North East.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Rising unemployment continues to make more Americans late on their mortgage payments, a sign that the rate of U.S. personal bankruptcies will keep going up, according to monthly data from the Equifax credit bureau obtained by Reuters.
Among U.S. homeowners with mortgages, 7.23 percent were at least 30 days late on payments in June, up from about 4.5 percent a year earlier and 7.01 percent in May, according to Equifax Inc. The rate of subprime mortgage delinquencies jumped almost a full percentage point to 39.25 percent.
Early-stage delinquencies are a leading indicator of future bankruptcy filings, and the June data suggest bankruptcies will continue rising in coming months. Bankruptcy filings were up 31 percent in June compared with a year earlier.

Crystals? Shock waves? Probiotics? The latest beauty treatments involve some surprising methods that promise to get you lifted, revitalized and glowing in no time flat. Best of all, these non-invasive (or minimally invasive) treatments are practically pain-free and require little to no downtime. Here, six procedures that need to be on any beauty-obsessed New Yorker’s radar.
We’ve got another use for all those healing crystals lying around: a facial. Gua sha is a Chinese medical technique that uses friction created by a smooth edged object like jade or rose quartz applied to the body to remove toxins. Gua means "to scrape" and sha refers to tight or compromised tissue, says Sandra Lanshin Chiu, acupuncturist and owner of Treatment by Lanshin in Williamsburg. The deeply relaxing Facial Gua Sha treatments ($200) offered at her studio immediately brighten your complexion, smooth skin, reduce puffiness and bloat and creates more sculpted features. Regular visits are required to maintain results, but you can also take monthly gua sha classes offered by Lanshin to perform it at home.
Yes, this is the “vampire facial” made famous by a certain Kim K, but it’s been steadily gaining traction in non-celeb circles, too. Microneedling uses a mechanized device called a Dermapen to make thousands of miniscule needle punctures in the outermost layers of the skin. (Don’t worry, a numbing cream is applied first.) The subsequent “wound healing” response generates collagen that can alleviate acne scars, hyperpigmentation and wrinkles. The woman behind Mrs. Kardashian West’s famous microneedling sesh in NYC is Dr. Lara Devgan, who layers PRP (plasma rich platelets) from your own blood to make you hyper glowy. While a professional in-office visit will set you back about $1,200 per session, you can try a mini version at home—though, proceed with caution—with a dermaroller (like this one from Stacked Skincare for just $30).
Probiotics aren’t just for your gut. Topical probiotic skin care is a natural and clinically effective way to calm and soothe aggravated or inflamed skin, strengthen its barrier function and defend against pollution and other external environmental factors. TULA founder Dr. Roshini Raj explains, “Due to probiotics' unique ability to calm and soothe, people with sensitive skin are finally able to use and tolerate ingredients they previously weren't, like acids and retinols.” TULA pairs its probiotic-rich creams, masks and face washes with vitamin C, rice-derived ceramides and oral supplements for superfood skin care. And spas are also jumping on board: Green Zen Organic Spa in Midtown offers a signature Vita Probiotic Detox Facial ($55) to help clear congested skin.
Zapping your way to tighter, firmer skin? Shocking. (Sorry, had to.) The latest technology uses a mild electrical current to stimulate facial skin and muscles. SB Skin founder Shamara Bondaroff (demonstrating here on herself) likens it to “a form of muscular re-education for the face,” which provides the skin and muscles the energy to stay in their lifted position. After just one treatment ($225 at SB Skin), expect to see more even-toned, smoother-textured, glowing and contoured skin with diminished puffiness and lines.
You might know acupuncture for its med-free relaxation, pain reduction and anxiety-blasting powers—but it’s also great for rejuvenating your face. The treatment consists of the application of needles on very precise points on your face, which helps stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone on the head, face and neck. According to Dr. Patricia Botet of City Acupuncture, it can help with a range of woes, including “sagging, dull, dry, oily, irritated and acne-prone skin or fine lines and wrinkles.” Patients often notice immediate results, but for a more lasting impact, the pros recommend consistent visits. Average acupuncture treatments range from $50 to $150 per session.

D-Day 2012, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii – I am at Pearl Harbor thinking about Normandy. On this date in 1944 an invasion of France was launched. The Normandy invasion is considered the beginning of the end of WWII. Today, I’m where WWII began for Americans with the attack on Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. The symbolic place is the USS Arizona Memorial where 71 years after the attack small oil droplets continue to bubble up from the fuel tanks of the sunken Arizona.
My dad, Stan Kaufman, was kid from Jersey that turned 20 on the beaches at Normandy. He never spoke about the experience or showed any emotion about it with me for more than five decades. In 1998 he was dying of cancer my sister, Janet, asked him, “dad what do you want to do before you die?” She was very direct. He responded in a heart beat – “Two things – first I want to finish my rock collection (which was his way of saying I want more time); second, I want to go back to Normandy.” His doctors said if you’re going to do it, do it now. He only has another month or two. So even though he was in a wheelchair and on oxygen 24/7, we made it happen.
It was mid December 1998. The day was cold and clear when we arrived at the landing beaches. There was nobody there. The beach was beautiful; hard packed sand – the tide was out; it was quiet. Without hesitation dad ripped off his oxygen tube and jumped out of the car leaving his wheelchair behind. All of a sudden I was on the beach with a 20 year old kid (my own son was 20 at the time). The last time he was on this beach it was like the first 20 minutes in film Saving Private Ryan. Now it’s a quiet and peaceful pristine beach for as far as the eye can see. After a few moments of quiet his emotions start to stir and just like the oil from the Arizona that’s been trapped all those years down inside his emotions began to bubble up. I never saw my father weep before. At first it was grief and sadness, but it quickly morphed into tears of gratitude and full on joy to be alive. Mixed in with the emotion short snippets of stories started to bubble out, as well – stories I’d tried to tease out of him for 40 years that he’d never given up to me began to percolate up from down deep inside. As the flashbacks came he shared them – short bursts and snippets. When we went to the cemetery above the landing beaches the process repeated itself. Those couple of hours on the landing beaches and the cemetery above them were like stepping into eternity – a timeless place where the past, present and future merge and all ones senses are fully alive and engaged – the body, mind and spirit all present at the same place at the same time. Snippets of stories continued over the next several days even as the full sensory experience receded into memory. Memories I hope I never lose even as they fade.
I discovered two things on that beach that December day in 1998 and third a decade and a half later upon reflection. First – I discovered for myself the power of place as the truest witness to history and the impact of being fully personally present there with someone you love. There is a sense of the sacred – holy ground – sacred history personalized. Second – Standing there on that beach I was struck for the first time with the realization that the trajectory of my dad’s entire life changed on that beach – not only his, but the lives of all of his descendents including his eight children and twenty-four grandchildren and beyond were altered there on that beach in 1944. I understood my dad better now. A lot of very private questions were answered in a moment of insight. Everyone should be as fortunate to experience a personal renewal journey with someone they love.

With three schools and two community organizations involved, choosing five exhibit topics for our Bangor Community Heritage Project was challenging. We began by brainstorming the possible topics and then added to these after our lively discussion at the Community Conversation held in September.
It was important that our historical partners at the Bangor Public Library and the Bangor Historical Society be able to support our research with primary source materials. Therefore, in deciding on the five exhibits, we took into consideration what collections were available and which of those the Library and Museum were interested in digitizing.
At the Cohen School, where there is a Maine Studies Curriculum, students brainstormed and chose the Shep Hurd/Brady Gang topic. At Doughty School, where the reading of The Diary of Anne Frank is part of the English/Language Arts Curriculum, students were curious about what life was like for Bangor young people in the same time period. At Bangor High School, the devastating 1911 Fire and the rapid reconstruction of the city in the two years following, fit very well with discussions of the Progressive Era in United States History. The Public Library chose the early railroad transportation topic not only because they own important primary source materials but also because it lends itself to continued and future exhibits. The Museum had three very special Civil War letters and anticipated future interest and work because of its upcoming 150th anniversary.
One great thing about the Maine Community Heritage Project is that it is only the beginning. In future years, other classes and organizations can add to what we have started and that is very exciting!

The Trial Court correctly elected to charge the jury on both intervening/superseding causation and general foreseeability. The intervening/superseding causation charge attempts to focus the jury’s attention on the different arguments of the parties. Thus, while a patient’s deliberate act is foreseeable, and not a superseding cause, that does not preclude the need to instruct the jury on intervening/superseding causes.
The concepts of foreseeability and intervening/superseding causation are related and juries need to be educated on both. Foreseeability is a constituent part of proximate cause and an act is foreseeable when a reasonably prudent, similarly situated person would anticipate a risk that his/her negligent conduct would cause injury or harm to another.
The intervening/superseding charge also complements the general charge on proximate cause. An intervening or superseding act is one that breaks the “chain of causation” linking a defendant’s wrongful act and an injury or harm suffered by a plaintiff. A plaintiff’s actions might break the chain of causation if his/her act was volitional and not attributable to the disorder or condition for which treatment is sought. Here, the jury was asked whether the patient’s history of addiction made her oral ingestion of the Duragesic patch foreseeable, or, if it was so remote or abnormal so as to not be foreseeable.
The Trial Court correctly charged the jury on intervening/superseding causation, but failed to mold its instructions to the facts of the case. Juries must know how the legal instructions are to be applied to the complex factual scenarios before them and the instructions must be clear and understandable.
Here the Court’s jury charge failed to provide the triers of fact the guidance that it needed.

THIS is the cheeky moment that a flamingo decided to trot across the runway in front of an Easyjet flight.
Holidaymakers were stunned as their plane, which had just touched down in Mallorca on Sunday, was forced to slow down to avoid the bird.
An airport worker caught the hilarious incident on camera, as the plane beeped its horn to warn the animal.
The flamingo can then be seen spreading its wings and taking flight.
Wildlife control experts were notified, but the flamingo is believed to have flown away before they arrived.
It comes after a hippopotamus was caught on camera in Roquetas de Mar, Almeria, after it escaped from a circus.
The beast was filmed running around and eating grass on a roundabout, before circus staff re-captured the animal.

The Myth Machine: From Travis Vogan's "Keepers Of The Flame"
An excerpt from Travis Vogan's look at how NFL Films has shaped -- and manufactured -- football's history.
While baseball is traditionally recognized as America’s favorite pastime, the National Football League has stood as the United States’ most popular and lucrative sports organization since the late 1960s. NFL football’s immense cultural and economic power is not simply a product of the games it provides for millions of live and mediated spectators, but also its cultural meanings. Scholars of sport have argued that pro football serves mythic functions in American culture. More than merely a game, the sport embodies and articulates characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, and values unique to American history, identity, and everyday life.
These mythic qualities, of course, are not essential to football. Rather, they are crafted through its representation -- from brief newspaper game reports to the macho cacophony of sports talk radio. Consider Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi’s five NFL championships and overall winning percentage, and it is clear that he was one of the most successful coaches in football, and even sport, history. But wins alone do not explain his status as an American icon that signifies leadership, work ethic, tradition, and virtue. Lombardi achieved this significance through his depiction. Indeed, he is still the subject of a steady stream of commemorations that includes biographies, documentaries, a postage stamp, and even a Broadway drama.
The National Football League realized early on that football’s meaning is pliable. Throughout its history, the NFL has developed various strategies to manufacture an image that sets the gridiron game apart from other sports and that distinguishes itself from other sports organizations. Perhaps the league’s most important branding and marketing effort was its 1964 establishment of NFL Films, a subsidiary film production company that creates celebratory made-for-television documentaries about the league. NFL Films’ productions, which are featured on various segments and programs that run throughout the entire year, transformed the league’s players and coaches into “legends of autumn” who partake in “cruel rites of manhood” on the “one-hundred-yard universe” of professional football. In doing so, these films changed how football, and sport in general, is represented and imagined while establishing a foundation from which the contemporary sports media landscape--an almost unavoidable facet of popular culture--developed.
In 2008, sports journalist and ESPN football analyst Sal Paolantonio published How Football Explains America, a short volume that considers why “we [Americans] dedicate our Sunday afternoons to the poetically violent rituals of the National Football League.” His book examines pro football’s relationship to democracy, territorial expansion, militarism, patriarchy, entertainment culture, and other elements he considers representative of American identity. Paolantonio uses various iconic moments from the league’s history to describe its mythic status.
To make the case for football’s relationship to masculinity, he references an instance when New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, famous for his unbridled and relentless play, attempts to motivate his teammates on the sidelines by screaming, “Let’s go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun!” To prove the same point, he recalls a moment when Chicago Bears linebacker Mike Singletary goads and intimidates the opposing team’s offense by maniacally yelling: “Hey, baby! I’m gonna be here all day, baby! I like this kind of party!” Paolantonio cites both cases to claim that NFL players are larger-than-life warriors who revel in the game’s violent intensity and engage in single-minded missions to vanquish whatever adversaries stand in their way.
Along slightly different lines, Paolantonio uses a touchdown pass from San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana to receiver Dwight Clark in the waning minutes of the 1982 National Football Conference championship game -- a play now known simply as “The Catch” -- to describe football’s aesthetic potential. The play seemed doomed when it began. Montana’s pass protection had been overwhelmed by the Dallas Cowboys’ defense, and he was forced to search for an open receiver while fleeing toward the sideline. Just before the oncoming defenders slammed Montana into the ground, the off-balance quarterback hurled a high pass toward the back of the end zone, which initially appeared to be heading out of play. Clark, however, made a leaping grab, landing just in bounds to score and secure the lead. San Francisco wound up winning the game and then prevailing in the Super Bowl -- the first of four championships it would win in the course of the following decade. “The Catch” is now one of the most famous plays in sports history, and footage of it is repeatedly shown in advertisements and promotions to demonstrate pro football’s excitement, unpredictability, and beauty.
The iconic moments Paolantonio describes have more in common than their apparent illustration of how football explains America. They were shot, edited, and are distributed by NFL Films. These instances that have come to embody the National Football League’s history, football’s significance in America, and even what it means to be American, were carefully designed to display the NFL in its best light.
The meaning Paolantonio assigns to the moments he mentions is largely a result of NFL Films’ distinct aesthetic practices. The intensity Taylor and Singletary seem to radiate is displayed principally by the subsidiary’s use of ground-level cameras and the sound it gathered with wireless microphones -- conventions the company popularized. These techniques allow viewers to see players’ straining faces and to hear the emotional tenor of their voices, elements of the game that, prior to NFL Films, were imperceptible to those watching on television or even in the stadium.
Similarly, Clark’s catch is almost exclusively displayed through NFL Films’ footage of it, which was shot in slow motion by a 16mm camera placed at ground level in the back of the end zone. From the perspective of NFL Films’ camera, it appears Montana has no receivers available and that the pass he throws is sure to sail out of bounds. The camera keeps the ball tight in the frame as it floats toward the end zone. Just before it flies beyond the field of play, Clark leaps into the shot -- seeming to come out of nowhere -- to make the fingertip catch. The slow motion builds suspense for how the play will resolve, and the shot’s framing makes Clark’s emergence and catch seem almost miraculous. While it is undoubtedly a great play, NFL Films’ conventions make it seem astonishing -- transforming Dwight Clark’s touchdown catch into The Catch. Paolantonio’s discussion of these iconic instances conflates the NFL’s past with the history NFL Films has created for it.
Like all representations of football, NFL Films’ dramatized productions give the sport meaning and shape how it is imagined. However, unlike newspaper game reports or television broadcasts, the company’s works are intended -- and in fact obliged -- to create a positive, salable image for the league. Steve Sabol, former NFL Films president and the driving force behind its distinctive style, described the subsidiary as a group of “historians, storytellers, [and] mythmakers.” It both documents the NFL’s history and positions it as a heroic institution characterized by awe-inspiring moments and epic battles.
In doing so, it transforms pro football into a spectacle that exceeds its position as a sports organization and becomes a corporate site of cultural production. The company’s widely circulated documentaries have created some of the NFL’s most memorable instances and, by extension, some of the most beloved and frequently evoked moments in the history of American sport. NFL Films turned the frigid 1967 NFL championship game into what is now known as “The Ice Bowl,” and it captured the plays that fans and sportswriters have since dubbed “The Immaculate Reception,” “The Drive,” and “The Miracle at the Meadowlands.” It christened the Dallas Cowboys “America’s Team,” made Vince Lombardi into a symbol of stern patriarchy, molded Baltimore Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas into a working-class hero, and fashioned New York Jets quarterback “Broadway” Joe Namath into a countercultural rebel.
As former NFL coach and sportscaster John Madden once claimed, “If you’re not in NFL Films, you’re not a part of NFL history.” Through its productions and other operations, NFL Films strives to control how the National Football League is consumed and remembered. Since its development, the company has attached a consistent set of themes to the league and depicted it through a distinct combination of conventions. Pro football, as NFL Films depicts it, is an intense, violent, beautiful, and sometimes humorous sport where heroic men band together to overcome adversity and reach a common goal. It is an institution that expresses what it means to be American and embodies teamwork, manliness, perseverance, courage, discipline, sacrifice, and leadership -- sporting characteristics that, in part because of NFL Films’ pervasiveness, are now clichés.

THE FOLLOWING VIDEO SHOWS A WOMAN FALLING FROM A TALL APARTMENT BUILDING.
Trending on social media is an cellphone video of a domestic helper believed to be from Ethiopia. As seen in the short video, the woman is seen clinging outside the 7th floor window of an apartment building literally by the fingers of her right hand. Speaking in Arabic, she was pleading for help from her employer as her Kuwaiti madam was taking a video and telling the maid to "Come, crazy!"
Some sources say the woman employer is being detained by the Kuwaiti police following the release of the video in Social Media.
Some people speculated that the Ethiopian helper was attempting to escape or take her own life, due to abuse from her employer. Nothing is yet proven otherwise.
It is also possible that the helper was merely cleaning the window when she lost her balance. It is actually known that some middle east employers ask or force their household helpers to clean everything including apartment windows. Another video below shows this dangerous situation, but this time in Jordan.
The domestic helper in the viral video is later seen being assisted by civil defense personnel, which means she is alive. It is reported that she suffered from several fractures. The impact of her fall was absorbed by the soft roofing material of where she landed.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Aaron Holiday spent most of the game trying to get his teammates involved, even forcing a couple of passes when UCLA coach Steve Alford reckoned he should have taken the shot.
Well, he took one when it meant the most.
The Bruins' sparkplug guard got a scooping layup to drop just before the final buzzer Tuesday night, capping an impressive one-man show down the stretch and giving No. 23 UCLA a 72-70 victory over Wisconsin in the third-place game of the Hall of Fame Classic.
The Bruins (4-1) trailed 65-59 with about 4 minutes left, but Holiday knocked down two 3-pointers and converted two free throws to spur the comeback. Wisconsin tied it 70-all when Khalil Iverson made the second of two foul shots with 31.5 seconds left, but that was enough time for UCLA.
Holiday got the ball at the top of the key, briefly lost control, then roared down the right side of the lane past Badgers star Ethan Happ and scooped up the winning basket.
Happ had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead Wisconsin (2-3), which has lost three straight games, all to ranked teams. Iverson, D'Mitrik Trice and Brad Davison had 14 points apiece.
Thomas Welsh and Gyorgy Goloman scored 11 each for UCLA. Prince Ali and Jaylen Hands had 10 apiece.
''We can't turn the ball over three of our last eight possessions, and score five points,'' Badgers coach Greg Gard said. ''You can't close out games with that statistic down the stretch.
The consolation match between perennial Big Ten and Pac-12 powers boiled down to a game of runs.
Wisconsin embarked on the first one late in the first half, running its methodical offense against the Bruins' man-to-man defense and building a 38-26 lead. UCLA countered with the next one, a 14-2 charge spanning the break that drew the game even, then pushed the run to 26-6 to seize control.
The biggest change for the Bruins was in their guard play. Welsh and Goloman had kept them in the game in the first half, but Holiday and Co. began to stretch the defense in the second.
Things changed again midway through the half, when the plucky Davison - making his first start - knocked down a 3-pointer. By the time he buried another one a few minutes later, the Badgers had ripped off a 16-2 run that turned a 55-46 deficit into a 62-57 lead with 7:35 left.
Wisconsin had never played three straight ranked non-conference opponents in the regular season. ... The Bruins won despite committing 19 turnovers, which Wisconsin turned into 21 points. ... UCLA G Kris Wilkes, who had 15 points in the semifinals, scored four before fouling out.
Wisconsin has played a brutal stretch against Xavier, Baylor and the Bruins, and it's been a sharp learning curve for a rebuilt roster. But Davison showed in Kansas City that he can contribute in a big way as a freshman, and that's reason for the Badgers to be optimistic.
UCLA has reason to love Kansas City, where it won the first of its 11 national titles and won the Hall of Fame Classic a decade ago. But a poor performance against Creighton in the semifinals raised some questions about the Bruins' toughness, and to some extent they answered them Tuesday night.
Wisconsin heads home to face Milwaukee on Friday night.
UCLA begins a four-game home stand Sunday against Cal-Irvine.

My Mom-Friday: (Vegetarian) Chicharon Anyone?
Light, crunchy, flavorful, addicting! I'm talking about my snack of the hour -- Marty's Cracklin' vegetarian chicharon.
Allow me a short intermission from my Tagaytay album series. For today, I thought I'd let you in on what I've been munching on lately, in between meals, errands and chores. Yes, this is junk food. But can we not indulge in such guilty pleasures once in a while? (",) Wait, let me back-track...look, it said "Guilt-Free" on the label.
Chicharon -- pork rind crackling, can be considered a Filipino delicacy, which was made popular in the province of Cebu. It is best eaten with a vinegar dip. Very addicting and artery-clogging! With Marty's Cracklin', manufactured by Oishi, it claims to be vegetarian, "old-fashioned style", "guilt-free", and with zero trans fat. Made from dehydrated green peas, vegetable oil, tapioca starch, dehydrated potatoes, salt, spices, and other flavorings, it comes in Plain Salted and Salt & Vinegar flavors.
I discovered Marty's a few months back at the supermarket, at less than P20 for the 90g bag, and it is now a regular in our snack cabinet. It also comes in a 26g snack pack. I've tried both flavors at different times and savored every piece, every bite, down to the crumbs stuck on the inside of the foil pouch. The color and flavor can pass for an authentic all-rind crispy chicharon. But the texture and bite of Marty's is finer, whereas the real one is a little more rough and tends to stick to your teeth and gums as you chew. The shape is also obviously different as the real thing comes in irregular curly shapes and cuts as compared with this uniformly molded copy-cat. The verdict? 2 thumbs up!
I would still consider Marty's Crackling a worthy alternative to the real thing. And I do share a few bites with the kids from time to time, although I can eat the whole bag on my own. But if luck is on your side, and you can get a hold of a few pouches of Chicharritos, then you may have just hit the jackpot.
Chicharritos IS the real thing. Made with real imported pork rind, manufactured and packed by a company in Cebu, this is the first chicharon brand I know of that is foil-packed, with limited distribution in select stores. It's been a long time since my last Chicharritos as I rarely find it in my regular supermarket visits. I believe they still have a free-standing cart at Shangri-la Plaza mall where I bought my first pack some years back. I missed it. Then just recently, my mother gave me a pack, yay!!! She bought it at P35, or 3 packs for P100, for a 35 gram pack from a food stall in Unimart (supermarket). This is more expensive than your ordinary chips in a bag, but it is super crispy, without the sometimes hard bits of meat still hanging on the rind. And with just the right amount of salt and flavor, it is pure all-rind goodness!
There is no comparison between Chicharritos and Marty's. It's like comparing apples from oranges. If you crave for the real pork rind crunch, Chicharritos is my bet. For a more "wholesome" alternative, try Marty's.
Ahhh...chicharon! My fave guilty snack! We just had some chicharon last weekend. We went to a Filipino store here in Toronto and they fry fresh pork rinds / skin with a bit of fat included. Yep, definitely heart-clogging!
Hey, you got nice photos. What camera do you use?
That sounds pretty interesting. Buy may I ask, have you ever tried the 2 other Chicharon brands: Nunie's Chicharon and Chilens. They are both a Cebu made delicay. Pls giv me your opinion.
Anon - Sorry haven't tried them, but would love to, though I can't recall seeing them in local stores in Metro Manila. I'll take note of Nunies and Chilens and maybe ask friends going to Cebu to buy some :) R.Lapids chicharon is also an old favorite which I missed including in this post. Thanks for the suggestions.

You need something extra to help you to land that first ultrasound sonographer job. In the end, it often comes down to how you conduct yourself during the application process. These are the things that you have to do to stand the best chance of landing that first job.
This is a tip that applies to practically any job that you might apply for.
The simple fact is that your potential employer wants to see that you care about the role and the organisation you’ll work for. If you walk in with no knowledge of who they are, you’re setting yourself up to fail.
Learning about your potential employer also helps you to create more pointed questions. You can dig into specifics, rather than asking the general stuff that you’d ask at any job interview.
Check online to see what the medical centre’s website has to say. It’s also a good idea to head in and pick up any literature that you can find relating to it. Look for recent achievements and any information about the ultrasound department that you’d be working in.
You’ll be asked for your strengths and weaknesses during your interview. The former question is easy enough to answer, as you can pull back to your medical training and highlight the areas where you excelled.
The latter question is always the trickier of the two. Go into too much detail about your weaknesses and you risk the job. Try to play yourself off as perfect and you’ll give the interviewer reason to believe that you’re dishonest.
Everybody applying for their first ultrasound sonographer job has one key weakness – inexperience.
Highlight it while mitigating it. This means that you recognise that your experience level is on the lower end of the scale. But, you impress upon the interview that you’re looking forward to learning from their professional staff. Any relevant work experience can also help here.
Your interviewer will give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have. This usually happens towards the end of the interview.
Remember, you’re trying to find out if this is a good fit for you too.
Your research likely created a few questions that you may have about the medical centre or hospital.
What will my main duties be in the role? (Your interviewer may have already covered this. If so, ask about a specific duty if you have any uncertainties).
This last question is particularly important because it shows that you have a desire to learn, improve, and excel in the role.
Sonographers Medical is here to help you if you’re looking for an ultrasound sonographer job. Head to our jobs page today to see what’s available near you.

Two proposed developments set for SoMa could be permitted to exceed their sites' density limits by including on-site affordable housing.
Both projects are being proposed by San Francisco-based firm Macy Architecture, which is also behind an upcoming development at 12th and Harrison streets.
Macy is filing both projects with the hope of receiving an Individually Requested Density Bonus, a state program that allows developers to eschew some zoning requirements if they construct a minimum amount of on-site affordable housing, particularly for very-low-income residents. Those seeking the bonus must file applications for both a base plan that does not utilize it, and a second plan that does.
The first of the two projects, at 222 Dore St. (between 9th and 10th streets), would demolish a 7,973-square-foot industrial building and construct a new five-story residential building with a 2,700-square-foot rooftop open space.
As proposed, the building would include 23 two-bedroom and 10 one-bedroom units. Three of the units would be permanently available to very-low-income residents (defined as making 50 percent or less of the area median income).
According to SF Planning, the Dore Street project meets the requirements for the Individually Requested Density Bonus, because it is providing 12.5 percent of on-site affordable housing.
The project is seeking waivers from other zoning requirements, including minimums for open space and bicycle parking. No vehicle parking is planned for the site.
Macy Architecture's second project is planned for nearby 1233 Folsom St. (at 8th St.) It would demolish an existing 3,250-square-foot industrial building and the adjacent 1,250-square-foot surface parking lot to construct a nine-story mixed-use building.
As proposed, the building would boast 13 six-bedroom dwelling units, 10 "micro" tourist hotel rooms, and 597 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. One of the six-bedroom units would be set aside as permanently affordable to very-low-income residents. The building would also offer 21 bike parking spaces, but no parking for cars.
Unlike the Dore Street project, the Folsom Street project still needs to provide SF Planning with plans for a base project that fully complies with the Planning Code requirements for the site. As currently proposed, the base project would still require an exemption from minimum open space requirements.
The Folsom Street project also raises some concerns because each of the 13 residential units include six bedrooms, and may better align with the definition of group housing. SF Planning wants Macy Architecture to provide further details on whether each unit will be rented as a single-family unit, or whether each bedroom will be rented separately.
The Folsom Street site is also located within a state-recognized historic district, the Western SoMa Light Industrial and Residential Historic District, and could include some structures that are considered historically significant. The city's historic preservation staff will need to review the project before it can be approved, according to SF Planning.
SF Planning is currently drafting a document with procedures for using the state density bonus program. Both sites will be subject to the new implementation plan the department plans to release in 2019.

Now with a custom character sheet specifically for this book, created by Guilherme Pantoja!
So, this book was released a little over 2 years ago. In the interim, I have gathered as much criticism and playtests as I could manage, and poured over everything that had been submitted. I then took a focused approach to this book to incorporate as much of the feedback as possible, especially for player options.
The focus of this book was always that the player options presented herein would be able to be dropped into any normal 5th edition DnD game, without any special consideration given to characters made with the options from this book. While I think the original release was close, it wasn't quite there, and there were a few issues that stuck out that remained unbalanced.
I have taken everything and rewritten everything, and while most of the player options will look familiar to those who own the previous version of this book, there will definitely be balance fixes so that you can take a lacer, a samsari, or any other option presented in this book, and drop it into your normal game.
In addition to the revisions made to the previous material, there have been many additions as well. There are new subclasses presented for the fighter and rogue, allowing them to learn some elemental powers and maneuvers. Each element's form list has also been increased to 50, rounding the number of forms presented in the book to over 200!
I can't express my appreciate enough for those who have helped in every stage of this process, including those who simply downloaded the book and ran games with it. The feedback I was able to gather was invaluable, and it really makes me happy to hear that the work I put into this book wasn't wasted.
So get out there and control the elements, and save your world!
Want an entire setting book to add elemental warriors to your world?
A blast a fire, a rush of wind, the roar of water, the rumble of stone.
The elements have always been a fantastic space to explore creatively for gamers. This book seeks to add all the elemental options you'd ever need for your 5e games.
5 new races. The elemental races were born from the union of genasi and ancient barbarian tribes. They have since become diluted, but elemental blood still flows through their veins. Also included is the obake, a race of animal-like creatures from the Spirit World.
2 new classes. The lacer and the samsari are both elemental warriors, but approach the elements in vastly different ways. Lacers are fighters, using fire, wind, water, and earth to pummel their foes into submission. Samsari, by contrast, are more spiritual, more enlightened.
5 new subclasses. In addition to the five subclasses present for the lacer, and the three subclasses presented for the samsari, five new subclasses are given for classes from the Player's Handbook. Barbarians can follow the Path of Elemental Fury, gaining powerful elemental abilities. Fighters can follow the martial archetype of the Pro-Lacer, pummeling their enemies with elemental maneuvers. Monks have two new subclasses to join; the Ki Blocker is a wise warrior who learns to hinder their opponents by blocking ki paths in the body, and the Shihan Warrior learns to use special armor and weapons to be a protector of the weak and innocent. Finally, the rogue can become a Triple Threat, gaining elemental abilities and working in tandem with allies.
6 new backgrounds. Six unique backgrounds are presented in this book, representing both the feared and respected (bounty hunters, town guards), and the common heroes (air sanctuary, polar clan, the vast swamp, and the vegetable merchant).
New armor, weapons, and equipment. While all weapons and tools from the Player's Handbook are completely applicable to the world of Toril, new options are presented here for those who wish to specialize. New weapons like the boomerang and hook sword are listed, as well as new tools like the gemmanite ring, a powerful item which can bind and eventually engulf creatures in pure crystal candy.
Over a dozen new feats. New options for lacers of specific elements, giving you even more unique flair for your character. Learn to lace lava, metal, lightning, wood, and more elements!
200+ lacing forms. Similar to spells, lacing forms allow you mastery and control over the elements. Over 200 new forms are presented to give unique and powerful options for your character.
New setting rules and tips. New optional rules are presented, allowing players greater variability and versatility by allowing your elemental powers to be affected by weather and cosmic events. The ability to play as the Incarnate is laid out, allowing a player to become an extremely powerful master of all four elements. In addition, tips are given for DMs who wish to add lacers to other games, to help guide the DM in what it means to have a lacer in a campaign, and ideas for how to implement them fluidly.
36 new monsters. 36 completely new monsters are presented to challenge new and old players alike. The creatures cover the entire spectrum of Challenge Ratings, and can be tweaked for almost any type of encounter. In addition, a number of more minor miscellaneous creatures and NPC stat blocks are presented which can be quickly dropped into any game.
History of lacing in the Forgotten Realms. This book fills in gaps in the timeline of the Forgotten Realms, showing how lacing magic was created, how it reached its height, and ultimately, how it began to fall, until very few lacers remain.
This book is over 170 pages of vetted and critiqued content, and has been checked for balance in comparison to other 5e options, including those presented in the Player's Handbook. As much or as little of this book as you like can be added to any campaign of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, with no worry needing to be given over power levels or exceptional strength.
This has been a project I've worked on for over 5 years, and it's just incredible to finally see it come to fruition. So I really, really hope you enjoy it, and happy gaming!
If you enjoy this, check out my other work!
Tarocchi. This class uses a deck of 52 playing cards in order to fund their magic spells, and requires you to play with a deck of cards as your character does!
Totemist. This class summons wooden idols with powerful magical abilities that affect the area around them. Answer the call of nature that best suits you to animate your idols to battle for you, boost you own fighting ability, or add the ability to cast spells alongside your totems!
Wayfarer. This is a full spellcasting class that gains the ability summon a powerful companion called an amicus. This creature is completely customizable, giving you an incredible amount of versatility in a single class!
Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoy it!
Fantastic, yo. Do you have a Patreon or something similar?
I do not, but definitely follow me @thealexctanner on Twitter, I post there when I have updates for my projects (and don't use it for anything else so you won't get any spam from me). Thanks for the kind words!
Great, but the 452 mg file size is huge. It's kind of a problem for my small tablet. I would appreciate it if you could find a way to reduce the file size to something more reasonable.
I appreciate the feedback, and I definitely agree it's a little rough. I will look into options for reducing the size and see if I can find a way to do it while preserving the quality of the book.
Thank you for checking it out though, I hope you are able to use it and enjoy it in the meantime!
Hey, I just started playing a Firelacer Kobold over on Midgardia RPG (He's gonna be a true dragon, some day!) and I just wanted to say that I really love this supplement. Been having a ton of fun throwing elemental strikes at people.
That's wonderful, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks!
Hey There, this is amazing and I love it. If you ever release a print-on-demand or kickstarter or anything for a physical copy, know that you've got one more person that would buy a copy in a heartbeat!
Hey I really appreciate that! Unfortunately I believe that due to how the rules of the DMs Guild work, physical copies cannot be printed and sold, at least not by me. I do have other things in the works right now though, if you want to stay updated feel free to follow me on Twitter! I basically only use it to update people about my DnD writing, so you won't get spammed by anything else.
Hey there, I am currently planning a game (and maybe a campaing) in the world of Avatar with the use of your amazing work! My players asked if there was any character sheets made for this specific setting, did you make one?
Hey, thanks for checking it out! I do not have one specifically made yet, but I'm currently speaking with an artist and having them worked on! If you follow me on Twitter, I basically only use it to post about DnD stuff that I release, so that would be the easiest way to keep track of when it is released. I'm @thealexctanner on Twitter.
That's perfect, thanks for the good work!
For the level 1 firelacing form Searing Ray, it says "targets within range" yet the range it shows is "Self." Is this intended or supposed to be 120 ft like Magic Missle or 20/60 like the elemental strike?
Ah I'll need to edit that, the form has a range of 60 feet. Thanks for checking it out!
Just wanted to let you know, me and my table are really loving the update you've applied to this. Though, and sorry if this is an annoying question, but are the clickable portions of the book broken? It seems like you're meant to be able to click to navigate like in the old version, given the underlining on some words, but they're not working.
Also, will there be a reintroduction of the printer friendly version?
Yes unfortunately the links are currently not working. When I get a chance I am going to try to get them fixed. The issue was that I had to export the PDF in 4-page chunks and then combine them together, as the document is so large that when I try to export the entire thing at once it crashes every computer I've tried it on. Unfortunately this process breaks the links. I'm going to see if I can find a solution that, but in the meantime I have added bookmark tabs to the PDF so you can navigate around more easily than before.
And I definitely plan to release the printer-friendly version as well when I get a chance, hopefully within the next week or so.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you're having fun!
And thank you for being so awesome and diligent with this! Again, we're having lots of fun, especially with the new Samsari. Though we are curious, what's meant to balance out the lack of 6th level and up 'spells' for them, aside from being able to cast precious spells at higher levels (and the flexibility of ki)?
I somehow missed this message, I apologize that I didn't respond sooner.
The main power balance for the samsari is the flexibility of their ki points and how they refresh on a short rest. No magic-user in 5e can cast more than one of the few high-level spells they get each day. That's a core part of the system, and even the warlock, whose spell slots refresh on a short rest, can only cast their higher-level spells once in a day.
I started down a similar road for the samsari, but ultimately decided that it was hewing too closely to the warlock, when they are really meant to stand apart as a class on their own. So they received additional ki points and more flexible ways to use them both for your own class features as well as synergizing with other magic-users in the party. Ultimately, the flexibility of the samsari's ki points are what give it power; you can upgrade your forms to 9th level so long as you have ki points, and can refill them on a short rest, or you can use many low-level...See more forms. The tradeoff for this flexibility is that they don't ever get forms that truly match the power of full 9th-level spells.
However, this plays into one of the biggest strengths of 5e and one of my favorite aspects of the system, in that you are encouraged to change things on the fly when it suits your game better. If you have a character in a game who's really dying for a meteor storm, for example, I feel like the tools are there to add such a form into the game. It would have to cost 10 ki points (1 + the level of the spell it's based on, which are roughly equivalent to forms), but if it really suited the character or the game, it's within the DMs purview to grant such a boon to a character.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments, and again I'm sorry I missed this!
Selfishly, I admit that I was curious about your opinion because we use a severely revamped class system in my games, most of the time, which rebalances magic. To give you an idea, magic uses now use spell points, can only use 6th level and up spells once, and regain spell point son a short rest. Spell points are redistributed to cover this fact. I want to use Lacers and Samasri in this system and have been working on how to re balance them to work with this fact. So far simply giving them more ki has worked out, but I wanted to know your thought process so I could design as needed.
I really love the book but I was wondering when the update would be coming out?
I am also curious if you have a new estimated day for the update to come out.
I apologize the update didn't happen on the anniversary! I certainly worked hard to make it happen, but ran into a few issues at the end of production. I am now in the last edits and trying to get it out as quickly as possible. Again, sorry for the delay!
Hi! When we can expect update? Or do you mind to share "beta" version preview?
The update has been released, so feel free to grab it and check it out now!
Another thing I noticed is that the Firelacing form "Burn Metal" doesn't specify how much of the metal is burned, logically, using Burn Metal should only "burn" a certain area of it. As of RAW a firelacer can initiate burn metal on a metal wall the size of the eiffel tower and everyone touching it will get burned.
Just saying, Combustion lacing does very little damage in one hit compared to Lightning lacing, which takes the same amount of feats. The only benefits I can see to being a Combustion lacer over lightning is that you don't need your hands free to lace, and its an area of effect. I understand that it only needs to be initiated once and then you can use it until you lose concentration. But it still does very little damage to individual targets with each hit.
Hey thanks for the feedback! You're right, and the feats are something that I have heavily overhauled for the update coming out in less than a month (unless I get slammed at work, but that's the hope). While I originally justified the return of feat chains from previous editions, ultimately I've come down on the other side and decided that they aren't worth it, and have returned all feats to not requiring other feats in order to take them (most of them still have requirements).
Thanks for checking it out, and keep an eye out in a month or so when the update launches!
Yay! I always wanted to be Combustion man.
1) Air Funnel - says " If the object would strike a creature, that creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the object strikes the target and stops moving. In either case, both the object and the creature or solid surface take 2d8 bludgeoning damage". What happens on a successful save? The creature dodges and the object keeps moving?
2) Flame Dagger- Does the form end when you throw the dagger or does it just continue for the full minute even after throwing it?
1) That is correct, the object continues on its path until it reaches the end of the line or strikes a solid object/creature.
2) The form does end when the dagger explodes.
Hey, just wanted to say I love this book. I was thinking of running a campaign based off it sometime soon. I saw in some earlier comments you mentioned a balance update. I was just wondering how soon that was coming and if I should wait to start the campaign until after it comes out. However don't feel any pressure to rush it. Thanks again for a wonderful book.
Hi Graham, thanks for checking it out! I am currently trying to release the balance updates on August 25th, the 2-year anniversary of the book's first release. I'm working hard to get it out for that date.
I needed to clarify something in this compendium. Does Elemental Strike counts as a Lacing Ability thus making it magical? It would make sense if it is, since only people who can Lace are able to perform this ability.
We had a whole debate on our table about this since my DM ruled that only Forms are counted as magical. Thanks in advance!
Hi Sara! It is the intention that all lacing is magical. Hopefully it didn't cause too big a problem at your table! If it seems unbalanced or someone has figured out a combination that caused that to be a problem, I'd like to hear about it, just shoot me an email and I can take a look at balance.
This title was added to our catalog on August 25, 2016.

North Carolina Railroads And Railfanning In "The Tar Heel State"
North Carolina railroads offer a wide variety of operations, found in few other southeastern states; from coastal and mountainous operations to high-speed main line freight and passenger trains, including plenty of local shortline services. And, as Southern states typically go, North Carolina offers spectacular scenery as a backdrop to railroading operations, whether you are along the coast, in flatlands of the Piedmont, or high in the Smoky Mountains. The Tar Heel State also has a rich railroading heritage dating back to the early 1830s and during its peak was home to no fewer than four eastern Class I railroads with the highly profitable and respected Atlantic Coast Line headquartered in its coastal and port city of Wilmington until 1960. In any event, the article here also provides additional links to other pages here at the site which relate to either North Carolina's railroad history or present day operations. Be sure to check them out.
North Carolina's first system dates back to 1833 when the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad was charted to connect its namesake cities, which it completed on March 7th, 1840. By doing so the railroad became the longest railroad operated in the world at that time, spanning some 161 miles! By the turn of the century the W&W would become part of the ever-growing Atlantic Coast Line system. Following the W&W's opening, North Carolina quickly became an important traffic generating and terminating state as it not only grew much tobacco and cotton but also became heavily industrialized, particularly in textiles. In time the Tar Heel State would become home to four of the South's best-remembered railroads.
Today, North Carolina is mostly the realm of CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway with NS's ex-Southern main line running through Charlotte and Greensboro (along with numerous other secondary lines) and CSX's ex-Clinchfield in the mountains and SAL and ACL main lines near the coast. The rest of the Tar Heel State's rails are operated by numerous shortlines and include the historic Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad, Winston-Salem Southbound Railway, Atlantic & Western railway, Carolina Coastal Railway, Carolina Southern Railroad, Laurinburg & Southern Railroad, Pee Dee River Railway, Wilmington Terminal Railroad, and the Chesapeake & Albemarle Railroad.
Having visited North Carolina on countless occasions throughout my life I must say that its railroading is very unique and interesting as it really does offer a little of everything from an operational standpoint. I have seen both the Laurinburg & Southern and Chesapeake & Ablemarble Railroads in operation and enjoyed every bit of it. I also was lucky enough to have a friend give me a quick tour of Raleigh's rail operations (which includes both NS and CSX) and was as fascinated by the scenes of history still present, as the trains themselves.
Today, North Carolina is home to just over 3,000 miles of trackage, which is about 59% of its one-time total of more than 5,500 in the 1920s. With a loss of about 41% of its railroad infrastructure since then, North Carolina has fared better than the national average of 45%-50%. Additionally, in recent years the state has been proactive in preserving rail corridors for potential future use. For more information on North Carolina in terms of route mileage over the years please take a look at the chart below.
Passenger and commuter rail in North Carolina are, to put it bluntly, a step above the rest of the country. The Tar Heel State is being proactive in recognizing the benefits of rail and has planned accordingly. Not only does the state own the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR), which owns a rail corridor running between Charlotte and Morehead City but also owns significant abandoned rights-of-way in the state that it deems important for possible future rail service. Today, the NCRR is leased to Norfolk Southern, which handles freight service over much of the route (between Charlotte and Raleigh) and oversees the ongoing upgrades being paid for by the State of North Carolina. The state also subsidizes its own passenger trains over the line. With the help of Amtrak, North Carolina operates the Charlotte-New York Carolinian and Raleigh-Charlotte Piedmont (in addition Amtrak also operates its own Crescent and Silver Service through the state).
The future of North Carolina's commuter railroad operations looks very bright. The state has paid for the restoration of numerous historic railroad depots along its route to be used for daily passenger service and is currently planning operational extensions as far east as Wilmington and as far west as Asheville. And, what's more, North Carolina plans to develop all of this trackage into a high-speed corridor. North Carolina also features several museums and tourist railroads such as the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer which is home to the largest still-standing roundhouse at 37 stalls. Others include the Great Smoky Mountain Railway in Dillsboro and Bryson City that offers spectacular views of the Smokies. All in all, the state offers some fantastic and unique operations, with spectacular scenery that only a Southern state could provide. If you are planning a trip you may want to focus on one specific area that interests you most, such as the mountains, Piedmont region or coastal plains as there is far too much to see unless you have lots of time to visit all three parts of the state.
Lastly, for more information about North Carolina railroads in general please click here to visit my good friend Dan Robie's personal website about trains in the Tarheel State. The site is still a lengthy work in progress so please be patient as more material is added. And on that note, here are few final recommendations you may want to visit; first, although it no longer sees trains NS's torturous Saluda Grade (the steepest main line railroad in America at 4.7%) is a marvel to see; second, CSX's main line to Wilmington features the longest stretch of straight, tangent track in the country at nearly 79 continuous miles; and lastly, both CSX and the Norfolk Southern Railway have winding loops to gain elevation in the western mountains at Old Fort (NS) and Spruce Pine (CSX). Whatever you decide, have fun as there is plenty to see in North Carolina!

Word trickled out late Wednesday night that the Minnesota Twins were drawing closer to selecting a manager, and it appears that choice will be former Tampa Bay Rays outfielder and current coach Rocco Baldelli.
Sources tell @Fox9Sports that the #mntwins will hire Rocco Baldelli as their new manager tomorrow afternoon at a press conference at Target Field.
The 37-year-old Baldelli is a native of Woonsocket, Rhode Island and was selected sixth overall in the 2000 MLB Draft by the Devil Rays. He reached the big leagues in 2003, and hit .289/.326/.416 as a 21-year-old center fielder to finish third in that year’s Rookie of the Year balloting.
Royals shortstop Angel Berroa and Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui finished Nos. 1-2.
That was the only time Baldelli played over 150 games in a season in his MLB career, however. He played 136 games the next season with nearly identical production (.280/.326/.436), and then missed the entire 2005 season with a mysterious muscular/metabolic disorder that limited him to just 222 more games over the next five seasons.
Baldelli almost immediately joined the Rays staff in a coaching capacity, working his way up to first base coach and ultimately major-league field coordinator last season.
Baldelli was a hotly-contested managerial candidate this offseason, interviewing for as many as five openings before agreeing to manage the Twins.
Why was Baldelli so highly sought after?
As Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes, Baldelli is a terrific communicator, young, dynamic and well-versed in analytics — all things highly regarded in today’s game. He’s also a humble man with ample life experience based on the hand he was dealt health-wise, something former Twins beat reporter Mike Berardino wrote up masterfully during his time with the Miami Sun-Sentinel.
Stay tuned to Zone Coverage as the story continues to develop. There’s a chance the Twins will hold a press conference as early as Thursday — a World Series travel day — to confirm their selection. We’ll be providing onsite reporting from Target Field, whenever that happens.

Hemingway Days begin tomorrow. What this really means is that a lot white bearded old men will take over the island, some short stories will be "performed" on various stages, some fishing contests will occupy the day light hours, and way too much alcohol will be quaffed.
Conchs don't like to let the party end... the weekend after Hemingway Days, there is a best bar competition. This is what happens during the off-season here. Of course, we are going to participate in at least some of the related festivities. I'll post pictures next week.
Give me back my underwear!
Traveler; writer; beer, wine & spirits geek; lawyer. Left my corporate gig to experiment with my version of plan b.
Do as the Conchs do!

This story of friendship, caring and love, was sent to me by Trish. I believe it is truly a wonderful experience which hopefully will make others realize just how important it is to give of ourselves to others, and what a huge difference it can make in someone's life. Thanks, Trish!
I want to tell all about my friend, Catherine. Before I met her, I was bitter, angry and mistrusted everyone. The world was meant to hurt you. Love hurt. That was all I knew. I became an expert at pushing people away and keeping them away. It was safer that way as people would hurt you if you let them near your heart. I had no close friends and believe me, I wanted it that way. Then one day I met Catherine Rose Halliday. I am not sure what attracted me to her, but she had a quiet peace and confidence I know I wanted. So I took a chance and asked her out for something to eat. Over dinner I kept thinking what an amazing person she is and how at peace I felt with her, but I still kept telling myself, don't get close or she will hurt you because everyone does. We began to get together more and more, and while I got more comfortable with her, the fear was still so intense I took pains to push her away. I even asked her when she was going to reject me like everyone else does, but no, she never did. Instead she invited me to her church where for the first time I met God. And now I was really supposed to open my heart up to God, and that freaked me out. I panicked in church, and I would run or become short of breath and freak out. No only did God's love scare me badly, but also, the thought of letting other people in the church scared me insane. Get away, get away. I would be sick to my stomach and turn white as a sheet. Many times I cam close to fainting. Many times I told myself, that's it, I am not coming back. I had only one thing to hold onto...Catherine. Letting her that close to me scared me even more, but she was like my life preserver to a drowning man. Each time she would love me, accept me, and just stand by me. She stayed by me. I could not believe it. WOW! She never left. No matter how I reacted, she stayed. No matter how sick I got, she stayed and held my hand. She even gave me hugs when before I would never have let anyone do that. But she stayed. My God, she stayed! Slowly the walls are coming down and I still worry at times if she is going to leave, but when I fear the most, she is there more than ever. I push her away and she pushes back even stronger. The walls are coming down and she is the only person on the inside helping me take them down. She loves me. God loves me. In her I see God. I am not the same person as I was before I met her. You would not recognize me anymore. The fighter is gone, the bitterness is gone, the anger is gone. The person who saw herself as nothing more than an object is now loved and worthy of love. All I pray is, that I am half the person she sees me as.
Catherine also helped me with some past abuse issues to make me feel better about myself. When I came under HEAVY spiritual attacks, she was there, particularly at night when she would be me all the time...if you need to talk....call me, anytime, 24hours a day. She would say, "I would rather lose sleep than have a friend hurting, and not call". When home stress got too much, she gave me keys to her place to relax, my sanctuary. God, I could go on and on about her love. When I told her I was going to give up going to God, she hugged me and loved me more. I could go on and on and on, but she is an angel. Before I met her, asking or getting a hug was met with hostility, and never asked. Now with her, not only do I need them to live, like air, but, I even ask her for them. I hope she knows she is the only person I can say, "I love you", and know I will hear it back.
CATHERINE ROSE HALLIDAY, MY ANGEL, I LOVE YOU!

Next, anoint the candle with some Love & Attraction oil drawing the oil up the candle towards the wick. You could also write your petition on some parchment and then folding towards you 3 times. Rotate it at a 90-degree angle for each fold. For 7-day candles, poke four small holes atop the candle and pour a drop of Love Attraction oil in each opening. Then, place the candle above the folded parchment until the flame dies out. In both techniques, citing Psalm 23 or the Song of Solomon out loud is quite helpful and is known to help facilitate in the search for love.

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in America, and the majority of it comes from cars and small trucks. That’s a major reason why President Barack Obama, in 2012, introduced a rule requiring automobile manufacturers to make their vehicles more fuel efficient—from 37 miles per gallon to more than 51 miles by the year 2025. As a side benefit, drivers would save money on gas and America’s oil reserves would last longer, reducing the incentive for energy companies to extract more of it.
This claim is based on specious evidence, experts say. In truth, the administration has concocted a tortured, flimsy argument—that cleaner cars will cost thousands more, and kill thousands more people—to scare Americans into believing that the government should scrap its most consequential policy for reducing emissions.
First, people who buy fuel-efficient vehicles will end up driving more, increasing the odds that they will get into a crash. Second, the fuel-efficient vehicles will themselves be more expensive, slowing the rate at which people buy newer vehicles with advanced safety features. Third, automakers will have to make their cars lighter in response to rising standards, slightly hurting safety.
"President Donald Trump wants to “Make Cars Great Again”—by letting them remain as dirty as they are now," writes Emily Atkin.
It’s also unclear whether increased fuel efficiency causes people to drive more, by any substantial amount. As Plumer noted, the Obama administration’s estimate was that people would drive about 0.1 percent more for every 1 percent increase in fuel efficiency. The Trump administration’s analysis found that the “rebound effect,” as it’s called, would be about twice as high as Obama’s analysis said—though that’s still not a very significant increase.
The Trump administration admits that, under its proposal, both fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions would increase by about 4 percent. But it argues that if automakers are forced to make cleaner cars, which may cost slightly more, people will hold onto their dirtier cars for longer. Thus, “smog-forming pollution would actually decrease” by 0.1 percent.
As the Trump administration claims that freezing fuel efficiency standards will actually reduce pollution, it also ignores the health benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The draft proposal explicitly notes that it would only consider the domestic—not global—health benefits of slowing climate change. That could reduce the estimated climate benefits from the Obama-era car rules by about 87 percent, according to a recent paper.
But Trump’s aims here are clear, and so are the consequences. Weakening the Obama standards “would clear the way for vehicles to, by 2030, spew an addition 600 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere—equivalent to the entire annual emissions of Canada,” HuffPost reported. That’s also equivalent to “firing up 30 coal power plants,” said Paul Cort, a lawyer with Earthjustice. And to justify this regressive policy, Trump is using two familiar ingredients: fear and falsehoods.

Heat the oil in a pan or wok to around 360 degrees. Take the very thinly sliced beetroot, pat dry with kitchen paper, then deep fry until crisp. Remove carefully with a spatula and drain on kitchen paper.
Take the duck breasts; pat the skin dry with a paper towel and season. Place skin side down in a hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. When golden brown and crispy, turn over and repeat with the bottom side. When brown, remove them from the pan and place covered by foil in pre-heated oven at 375 degrees, for 4-8 minutes or until just pink in the centre. When cooked, remove and rest covered with foil. Turn off the oven. Then slice the duck into evenly sized pieces.
Meanwhile, take the noodle nests and par-cook them in boiling water until al-dente. Drain.
Now the oven is turned off, take a baking sheet, and on it place the beetroot crisps evenly spaced, and place in the oven to dry out briefly.
In a wok or large frying pan, take a little oil and fry the garlic and ginger until the aroma are released. Add the spring onions and bok choy and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
Then add the sticky plum stir fry sauce and noodles. Toss together and cook until heated through.
Remove the beetroot crisps from the oven.
Remove the stir fry from the heat and mix in the duck. Serve on plates and garnish with the beetroot crisps and chopped pistachios.
Blue Dragon was created over 30 years ago to help British people create authentic Chinese dishes at home. Since then it's gone truly pan-Asian, with ingredients to help create delicious dishes from Thailand, Japan and Vietnam and expanding the Chinese range.

I wrote about cat abscess home treatment first because it’s what I have experience with. However, the information about cat abscesses also applies to a rabbit with an abscess, a guinea pig abscess, a horse abscess, or a goat abscess. I would think it would apply well to all or most mammals.
The information on my page about finger infections and skin infections (in humans) would also apply well to skin infections on horses, camels, pigs, sheep, rabbits, and guinea pigs.
As I said regarding cats, how well the peroxide works will depend on how bad the infection is, and how long you keep the peroxide on the infected area.
As with all things, go gently with your animal friends.
I don’t know how peroxide would affect feather or scales so I would hesitate about using hydrogen peroxide on a bird or a lizard with a skin infection. Hydrogen peroxide will certainly kill bacteria, but I don’t know about using it with birds and reptiles…. I’ve only personally used it with humans and cats.
Do not try hydrogen peroxide directly on fish – different fish species are more or less sensitive to hydrogen peroxide, and you could easily kill fish by putting too much hydrogen peroxide in their water.

Need to Better Serve U.S. Market Drives Future Direction of AIM Inc.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania -- To increase national awareness of AIDC technologies (bar code, card technologies, electronic article surveillance (EAS), data communications, radio frequency identification (RFID), real time locating systems (RTLS) and biometrics) and how they are applied to improve critical applications such as homeland security, patient safety and supply chain management, the AIM Board of Directors announced the association's new strategic direction including the formation of an AIM U.S. Chapter. The association, comprised of international, national and regional information technology (IT) providers and users (Boeing, Department of Defense, Johnson & Johnson and Proctor & Gamble) is now developing plans to better serve the needs of U.S.-based manufacturers, value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators, independent software developers and end users.
• AIM will be the proactive, worldwide authority on evaluating, facilitating and obtaining approval of standards and regulations for new AIDC technologies.
• AIM will be the advocate for positioning the value of AIDC technologies as a key member of the information technology (IT) industry and community.
• AIM will partner with new and existing Chapters to expand the opportunities to bring additional value to its members.
According to Keith Bothmann, Director of Robert Christensen APS in Hedehusene, Denmark and Chairman of the Board of AIM, Inc., "AIM's reorganization has brought about a new, streamlined organization that can better serve the AIDC users and vendors. Namely, the global AIM organization will be executing strategic initiatives that will open new markets and create unprecedented visibility for AIDC technologies. In concert with these efforts, the global organization will support and expand a network of chapters that can focus on locally relevant services. In recognizing the need for the global organization to focus on these efforts, the association realized that a U.S. chapter was an essential addition to our network to support the significant AIDC community in America."
The new U.S. Chapter will target the existing AIDC sales channel in addition to manufacturers, software developers and integrators interested in expanding their capabilities through the use of AIDC technologies.
Mike Baur, President/CEO of ScanSource, Inc. in Greenville, SC and a member of the AIM Board of Directors, added, "While the entire AIDC community of vendors and users can benefit from the global strategic initiatives of AIM, the AIM chapter network is an essential part of bringing AIDC solutions to reality on a daily basis. A U.S. Chapter of AIM will be uniquely positioned to focus on and deliver value to this important constituency. The U.S. Chapter, like its' counterparts around the globe, will deliver educational programs and services to help VARs, Solution Providers and users understand the benefits of collecting and managing accurate, real-time data. Initially these efforts will target the most active application areas such as healthcare, security and the retail supply chain."
New advancements in AIDC technology are enabling users to capture and manage accurate, real-time data for a wide range of applications in an increasing variety of industries. Driving cost out of the supply chain, improving homeland security and reducing medical errors through government mandate are now emerging as key factors influencing the adoption of AIDC technologies which will result in increased security and patient safety, dramatic improvements in manufacturing/warehousing productivity and enhanced customer satisfaction on retail floors across the country.
AIM, Inc., is the global trade association and recognized worldwide authority on automatic identification, data collection and networking in a mobile environment. AIM members are providers and users of technologies, systems and services that capture, manage and integrate accurate data into larger information management systems. As a not-for-profit industry organization, AIM's mission is to stimulate the understanding, adoption and use of technology by providing timely, unbiased, commercial-free news and information. For more information, contact the AIM office at AIM, Inc., 634 Alpha Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15238-2802, Phone: +1.412.963.8588, or access the AIM Web site at www.aimglobal.org.

You have to love a dip as easy as this. Make it smooth or chunky, the choice is yours.
In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients (except reserved garnishes); puree to desired consistency. Spoon into a serving bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Just before serving, garnish with reserved tomatoes, yogurt and cilantro. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
Serve dip warm or cold with raw vegetables or baked tortilla chips.

Jivan Gasparyan, an internationally renowned "master of the duduk," says that though there is grief in everyone’s heart, there is no need for lamentation. We need to continue living. “The wounds of the earth can be healed, but the wounds of the heart cannot,” he quotes the lines of a song he wrote. Through the melodies of his duduk, he presents the world with both the indelible wounds of the Armenians and their passion to live and create.
David Nalbandian is one of the greatest Argentinian tennis players of all time and one of the most exceptional athletes in the history of the sport. Born a winner, he ranked in third place in the Association of Tennis Professionals tour, remained in the top ten of the rankings for five consecutive seasons and showed an indisputable love for his country when defending Argentina’s blue-and-white jersey in the Davis Cup.
Sylvia Unjian-Tataryan has been an active participant in a number of Armenian organizations since 2000. As a tour guide who accompanies all manner of dignitaries, presidents, philanthropists, cultural figures and ambassadors on their trips to Lebanon, she is rather an ambassador-at-large herself, not only for Lebanon, the country of her birth, but also for Armenia, the country of her heart.
Vahan Kololian is the managing partner and founder of the Canada-based private equity investment firm TerraNova Partners LP, as well as a co-founder of the Mosaic Institute, a “think and do” tank promoting peace and conflict resolution all over the world. He would like to express his gratitude to kind strangers and countries that have been welcoming Armenians ever since 1915.
Both my grandmothers are survivors of the Armenian Genocide, as was my husband’s grandmother. All three women suffered from depression throughout their adult lives. Neither of my parents knew their grandparents.
My grandfather died before I was born, yet even today his spirit guides me and gives me strength. His account of the Genocide in his small town in Western Armenia is an amazing read.
"My grandfather's survival story is nothing short of a miracle"

I woke up to another beautiful morning here in Detroit and made my way from my hotel along the waterfront to the convention center. The Detroit Princess (right) is moored along the walk. Joggers and bikers passed by.
Our day began with a 7 a.m. breakfast and hilarious/biting/provocative/inspiring talk by writer Lillian Daniels. Her most recent book is When “Spiritual but Not Religious” Is Not Enough: Seeing God in Surprising Places, Even the Church. Daniels spoke about how mainline denominations like the PCUSA have a tendency to offer utilitarian reasons for coming to church (i.e., we’re friendly, we have a great choir, good youth programs, etc.) instead of speaking about the difference Christ makes in our fellowship and own lives. That seems a helpful, if basic, reminder for our church today.
Justices Committee and we’ll be considering 18 different overtures — from agricultural policies, the death penalty, gun violence, end of life issues, tax justice and more. Anyone can follow all the business of any committee by going to http://www.pc-biz.org. Once there, click on the “Committee” tab and then on a link for any of the 15 committees. Once at a Committee’s page, click on the “schedule” tab and you can see what each committee is working on at what time — as well as find links to the documents (including the original overtures) that the commissioners themselves are using.
I’ll welcome your comments and questions on any of the topics before the Social Justice or the other 14 committees!
The Reverend Dr. Sharon Mook entered the sanctuary with Rabbi Alissa Wise and Imam Abdullah El-Amin. The newly elected Moderator of the PCUSA, elder Heath Rada, was also in attendance and offered opening words of greetings. After opening songs and prayer, Rabbi Wise and Imam El-Amin gave words of greeting from their respective faith communities. Rabbi Wise spoke of the Jewish tradition of “disagreeing for heaven’s sake” — which means on one hand standing up for justice, but then also being committed to being in relationship with one another. Imam El-Amin celebrated our common Abrahamic tradition, and then in a moving moment, recited the Lord’s Prayer. He then shared passages from the opening of the Quran which echo calls to glorify and rely upon God.
Rev. Mook preached from the text of Acts 2:1-13. Referencing the work of theologian Eric Law, she asked this question: Is the miracle of Pentecost a miracle of the tongue or a miracle of the ear? We often assume the former, but this passage from Acts references speaking once and hearing/understanding three times. It was an appropriate call for all the commissioners, and all the members of our national church, to seek to listen with urgency, patience and love as we head into the work of the General Assembly.
Leaving the church, I was grateful for a nourishing and thought-provoking service of worship and time of dialogue. A miracle of the tongue or a miracle of the ear? I’ll be praying for understanding and ability to hear in the days to come.
Welcome to my “GA Journal!” I arrived in Detroit this morning after a two-day drive from Kansas City. After checking into my hotel, I made my way to the Cobo Conference Center where the 221st General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA is being held. For the first time, I am serving as a commissioner along with six other commissioners from Heartland Presbytery. In total, there are 656 voting commissioners from 172 presbyteries around the country, plus 172 Young Adult Advisory Delegates (YAADs), 25 theological advisory delegates, 8 missionary advisory delegates and 15 ecumenical advisory delegates. In addition, there are hundreds of other attendees — visitors, PCUSA staff and exhibitors.
The Assembly kicked off this morning with a rousing service of worship with about 2,500 people. Outgoing moderator Rev. Neal Presa preached on the texts of Luke 24:28-51 and Romans 15:1-6, 13. Romans 15:13 is the theme of this General Assembly.
After lunch, I explored the exhibit hall which has dozens of booths for PCUSA organizations, advocacy groups, missionary organizations, seminaries, vendors and others. As I made my way, I delighted in seeing Veeda Javaid from the Presbyerian Education Board of Pakistan, whom we support and hosted at BRPC last fall.
The official business of the Assembly has begun. Our host presbytery, the presbytery of Detroit, opened the assembly with a welcome and stirring video about the state of the city and the call for hope. “Little did we know how appropriate the GA theme from Romans 15:13, picked several years ago, would be for our city today,” said a Detroit pastor of the past 30 years. He then highlighted the importance of racial justice for the city and for our nation. He recalled how Dr. King gave the first rendition of his “I have a Dream” speech here in this same Cobo Conference Center on June 23, 1963. That struck me since that was the day I was born.
Then a moment of great hilarity ensued as members of the national staff of the PCUSA were introduced in a video in which they lip-synced a song about GA sung to the tune from “Les Miserables.” You can watch it on YouTube; it’s a hoot!
Over the course of the next seven days, I will be reporting on my experiences here at GA and of the broader church. I’ll reflect on the business of the assembly, our times of worship, encounters with other Presbyterians from around the country, and my encounters in the city of Detroit. I welcome your comments and questions in the comment space below as I go through the week. Perhaps you’re wondering about something, or maybe you want to express a view about any business before the assembly. I welcome all your comments!
While I have known Sandra through our Presbytery for a few years, I never knew that she had served at my dad’s church. And of course I had no idea that she had ever met my mother. It was a gentle grace as I begin my time at this gathering of our national church, and it was a personal experience of how we are joined in the body of Christ.

The team at Options Executive Search has spotted this trend and shared a some takeaways for recruiters. There has been an increase in ‘returning Indians’ and the cause for this is setting forth a new path. Findings state that more and more Indians are either planning to come back or are on their way back to India to become entrepreneurs. This time it is not about coming back to settle for a top management job, but to set up a shop in their home country. To back these findings Venture capitalists and investors those who are spinning the enterprise story acknowledge this revised trend of NRIs.
Internal referral systems and recruitment of employees within the same family worked well for these traditional enterprises to withhold corporate integrity, but it did not prove to be a sustainable act. This has probably shifted the mindset of one-third of family run businesses to pass ownership to next generation non-family management employees to run the relay in the corporate world.
While there are some obvious reasons for such a shift, such as family and ownership conflicts, bureaucratic work culture and limited access to private capital the much amusing reason in inability to attract and retain smart talent to steer their business engines.
Young Indian talent who otherwise would seek for employment in the family dominant enterprises in India have started to choose a self-made path of entrepreneurship. The irony is that the Indian Private Equity markets are welcoming this trend versus a family drive business models with chunky consortium behind them.
For those recruiters who have focused all these years in placing Indian talent back in India in high positions may now have to start recruiting talent for these aspiring entrepreneurs. Recruiters have to gear towards the big ‘One billion entrepreneur’ vision not only for those who want start something on their own but also those who want lead and spearhead MNCs established on the terrain of this subcontinent.
Share your thoughts on how would you respond or shift to accommodate this trend for the new generation.
good information by non0 returning india.

At her unassuming spot on Greenwood Avenue, Xiaoting “Ting” Guo shares the deliciousness of authenticity (hold the Mongolian beef).
People come from Richmond, B.C., to eat at Little Ting’s Dumplings.
Authenticity means a lot to Guo. “I love to eat,” she says. She’s from Anhui province in China, and her husband, Jason Xu, is from Hebei province. They met at university there; he’s now an architect, and she studied interior design. When they got to Seattle, Guo says, “We couldn’t find [an] authentic Chinese restaurant. For us, it’s American style. Some dishes, we’d never heard of … orange chicken, Mongolian beef.
“In China, we never had that kind of dish,” Guo observes. “So it’s very funny for me: ‘Oh my god, it’s Chinese food!’ Sort of! Maybe!” She laughs.
She and her husband found a modest little strip-mall spot on Greenwood at 145th. Her husband drew the happy-dumpling logo and the funny aliens-with-dumplings art for the dining room. Her father-in-law came over to help her master dumpling-making. Starting out, she was too slow for restaurant-level output. (“I’m professional now!” she laughs.) Her friends helped her clean the space, get supplies, even wait tables. They were also her first customers in January 2015, bringing along their friends.
Most of the recipes come from her husband’s family, but the magical method of cooking the pan-fried dumplings and buns is that of her hometown. “It’s very simple,” she says — the water that’s first added to the pan to steam them has flour in it, and as it boils away, it leaves a very thin, very crispy, crepe-like, pan-shaped shell around the order of dumplings or buns. Then a little oil is added to fry up their bottoms, “so it’s crispy, it tastes good, but it’s not that fatty, oily,” she says. The fat, round baby-shrimp buns are from her hometown, too, made with tiny, chewy, salty dried shrimp, plus “spices, salt, sugar and chives — that’s all,” she says.
“Handmade noodles in spicy sauce” are on-trend with turmeric and a mouth-tingling heat, made with the same dough as the dumplings; onion pancakes are cushy, if maybe unevenly salted. There’s lots more to choose from, but, needless to say, no orange chicken or Mongolian beef.
Starting out with Little Ting’s, Guo says, she was unafraid. “I didn’t know how hard it is,” she laughs. After her friends, and their friends, got their fill, the restaurant grew terribly quiet. Time stretched out — a month and more. Slowly, curious neighbors, seeing the new sign, came to give the place a try. “Then they love our food, and they’re coming back, bringing friends.” Little Ting’s never advertised. “Never. Our customers are true customers,” Guo says with pride.
In the beginning, she says, “I thought our customers would be Chinese people.” You’ll hear lots of Chinese spoken at Little Ting’s, but it’s a diverse, happy crowd. “It turns out,” Guo says, “actually, local people love the authentic Chinese food.” And it’s clear she loves sharing it.

The office is between Finley Road and South Highland Avenue, about a mile east of Interstate 355 and a mile west of Yorktown Shopping Center. The new location is a block west of the firm’s previous Lombard office.

It was an easy decision to name Chantelle as a partner and we look forward to her success within this new role," says Principal Owner of A. Traub & Associates, Angel M. Traub.
Congratulations to our own Margaret M. O'Connell for being awarded a 2015 Pro Bono Service Award from the DuPage Legal Assistance Foundation at the DuPage County Bar Association's Law Day celebration.

Attorneys who are chosen as Super Lawyers Rising Stars are selected through a multi-phased process, which includes formal nominations, research, and peer evaluations. Every Super Lawyers candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement and the selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.

The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has warned that Nigeria is on the verge of another Civil War following the yet-to-be addressed incessant killings of other Nigerians by herdsmen.
Bakare spoke during his sermon on Sunday, declaring that the “country is moving towards another collapse” with the division among different groups and violence in the country.
Speaking on the topic, “All Things are Ready,” the cleric lamented that Nigerians might be forced to retaliate against the rampaging herdsmen.
He said, “We are at the verge of another collapse, if care is not taken. We are pushing ourselves into the (edge of the) precipice of another civil war.
“All these marauders, called herdsmen; if you don’t checkmate them quickly, and the people begin retaliation against what they are doing, we will begin to kill ourselves again.

Nevermen is an experimental rap/rock group, formed by TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, Faith No More’s Mike Patton and rapper Doseone, who is involved with multiple small groups, such as Themselves, Subtle and cLOUDDEAD. Nevermen’s self-titled debut album brings influence from each one of these very different and unique artists, such as Doseone’s nasally raps, Adebimpe’s soothing vocals and the spikes of Patton’s feverish yells.
The first 40 seconds of the album, which make up part of the song “Dark Ear,” are very dark and captivating, setting the tone for the rest of the album. But once the chorus passes, the songs takes a distasteful turn. Patton’s stuck-in-the-’90s screams do not compliment Adebimpe’s vocals, and Doseone sounds out-of-place.
Every song on the rest of the album is similar, containing very inviting intros, yet lacking interesting melodies. As soon as vocals kick in on every track, the song sounds like it’s having an identity crisis. This is especially evident on “Tough Towns,” as the vocals don’t compliment each other and only Adebimpe’s voice compliments the instrumentation.
Despite all of these drawbacks, the production on the album is very well done and brings some new, refreshing, experimental sounds. However, these sounds just didn’t end up in the right hands (or should I say mouths?) I wouldn’t expect a great outcome if Yelawolf, Chris Cornell and Kele Okereke got together to make an album, and that weird fantasy scenario is similar to what Nevermen actually is. The combination is interesting, and it could end up being incredible, but sometimes it’s hard to overcome differences to create something beautiful (take Congress, for example). All in all, every song had potential, but didn’t deliver.
P.S. “At Your Service” sounds dangerously similar to something off Tech N9Ne’s All 6’s and 7’s.

Robert E Webb, former Washington Bureau Chief of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who heads up the International Communications Forum in the USA, was awarded the National Press Club’s Vivian Award for 2012.
'There are far more journalists with integrity than those who give the profession a bad name. They deserve support and encouragement,' says Stan Hazell, former editor of HTV News in Bristol, writing in the September 2012 edition of Reform magazine, UK. Faith communities, he says, can help shape the landscape of press regulation, following the Leveson enquiry into press standards.
Ms Chunmei Ma appeared to push back tears as she recited for reporters at the National Press Club in Washington DC, 17 August, the horrors of her treatment at a Chinese labor camp before fleeing to America four years ago. She was one of three Chinese women who spoke. The others were Ms Terri Wu and Ms Crystal Fang.
Bob Webb remembers Chuck Colson, who died 21 April 2012 aged 80, a brilliant lawyer from Massachusetts. Colson was one of Nixon's key aides and known as his 'hatchet man'.
The veteran former BBC war correspondent Martin Bell told journalism students at the University of Lincoln, UK, that ‘journalism is a moral undertaking. You have to have a sense of right and wrong’.
Bob Webb talks to Jeta Xharra, Executive Director of the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, where he learns of the powerful role media play in the effort to eliminate corruption, raise living standards and otherwise make Kosovo a model country.
‘All have a stake in the media,’ said Magnus Linklater, editor of the Scottish edition of The Times, participating in a round table discussion on ‘the media and public confidence’, in Edinburgh on 26 August. It was held in the Royal Scots Club and chaired by Revd Logan Kirk.
‘There is no place any more for bad journalism,’ following the News of the World phone hacking scandal, asserted Bernard Margueritte, President of the International Communications Forum, when he addressed the Festival of Politics held in the Scottish Parliament on 25 August.
A message from the participants at an international conference in Caux (Switzerland), dealing with the role of the media in creating an inclusive multicultural community, who urge the media to restore the credibility and dignity of their profession.
The Other War was reported in the Daily Mirror on 27 July 2011.

For more holiday seasons than I can remember, we have loaded up the car with our kids, and other people and their kids, along with blankets and hot chocolate, and set off to visit Prairie Lights in Grand Prairie!
Prairie Lights is a drive through light display. We LOVE the lights!
We love driving through the park, singing with the Christmas songs on the radio, assuring us that we will be bringing a new set of other people and their kids the following year.
Because nobody wants to attend THAT concert twice!
because even I have gotten tired of our singing.
My daughter was hoping to get to speak with Santa before the race.
She has alot of explaining to do.
and runs thru New Year’s Eve.
There are over 4 million sets of lights, which is amazing when you consider how hard it is to just put lights on your Christmas tree.
My children choose to run ahead, while I decided to walk and talk with friends. Because that’s why you do a 5K, right? To walk and talk with friends. It should be on the t-shirt.
This is everyone’s favorite, the world’s largest light tunnel.
The lights race up and down the tunnel, it’s really terrific!
Prairie Lights is set up in Lynn Creek Park, which sits on Joe Pool Lake. A visit to Lynn Creek Marina and The Oasis Restaurant before or after your drive makes for a perfect evening. From their patio, you can see the lights reflecting off the water, it’s amazing!
Don’t forget to take some bread to feed the ducks and monster size fish that hang out there!
There is more than just lights! At Holiday Village, you can enjoy rides, gift shop, concessions, a visit with Santa, walk through the Holiday Magic Lighted Forest, or enjoy Holiday Magic Live, a brand new live show by Texas Family Musicals.
When all my walking and talking (and picture taking) was done, I was proud of my time!
And while it may seem like a long time, you will need to plan longer for your visit. The average drive thru and stop at Holiday Village takes about an hour and a half, add an hour or more for weekends and holidays.
Make a potty stop every chance you get, especially with little kids. The lines just to get into the park can be long, so visit the potty before you get to the park. The only potty break is at Holiday Village. There is a port-a-potty located at the gate, and if you can, stop and use it before going inside.
The lines can be long to get inside the park. Bring something to keep kiddos busy in the car, and maybe some snacks.

Read Cal Newport’s book Deep Work for a refreshing take on the state of our minds in the 21st century. Also, the following video is a must watch if you think that social media could be impacting your attention span.
I’ve been noticing more and more lately how social media use has an effect on my attention span and I don’t like what I’m noticing.
I’m a freelance web developer in the evenings and I help businesses and organizations manage their web sites and other miscellaneous IT needs. I typically set aside 10 hours a week for freelance work so I need to make it count when I do sit down to work.
Lately, during my freelance hours I’ve been noticing that when I come up across a problem that is not a quick and simple fix, my mind says “I’m outta here” and I have a reflex to jump to Twitter, reddit, or some other information junk food.
When I say reflex, I mean it in the most literal sense. An action that is performed as a response to a stimulus and without conscious thought. When a hard problem or situation that requires some deep thinking comes up, I can see this happening and it’s quite troubling.
I’ve always had love-hate relationships with social media (constantly quitting and rejoining). I think it’s time to cut the fat in some ways and remove all social media that isn’t being used as a means to serve some personal or professional goal (similar to how Cal Newport talks about it in Deep Work).
The information buffet line that social media serves up is rewiring us in a bad way. We run away from hard problems instead of coming at them head on. The sense of pleasure and accomplishment of sticking with a problem and seeing it through until it is solved has been replaced with the cheap, shallow gratification that social media offers us.
Social media companies want us to be consumers for life, constantly consuming the information on their platforms so they can aggregate data on us and sell it to advertisers. And we’re giving up one of our most valuable assets in the process: our time and attention.
I’ll end this rant by saying that I think the biggest challenge to entering a deep work state is social media. I struggle with my own social media usage and boundaries and I’m sure other people do as well.
The second biggest challenge is the sheer amount of notifications we all receive now from all of our devices. We all need to give ourselves some time to think and reflect once in a while.
I think as a society we need to take a look at what we’re doing as we could be heading down a path where significantly less people in the future will be capable of complex thought.
If you are a current social media user and have no problem controlling your attention span, kudos! Leave a comment, I’d love to hear how you do it.
Scene from the movie “Idiocracy” where many people are incapable of thinking things through.

Eighteen-year-old Sophie Kivlehan says she doesn’t remember when she first heard about climate change. It was a normal topic of conversation at the dinner table, one that often included her grandfather, Jim Hansen, an astro-physicist at Columbia University and perhaps one of the worlds’ most well-known climate scientists. Hansen began sounding the alarm about rising temperatures and rising sea levels back in the early 1980′s.

It’s not that uncommon to hear someone complaining that politicians are corrupt. But you wouldn’t expect to be thrown in jail for it.
That’s exactly what happened to Fane Lozman at a city council meeting in Florida.
On Tuesday, that arrest got to the U.S. Supreme Court, and it could have implications not just for Lozman, but for the limits of First Amendment protections of freedom of speech.
Oddly, it’s not Lozman’s first trip to the nation’s highest court. Five years ago, the financial trader won his first case against the city of Riviera Beach when the city seized his floating home to make room for a harbor redevelopment. Today’s case could affect a lot more people.
Back in 2006, Lozman was not exactly a welcome sight for the Riviera Beach City Council. He had managed to scuttle their plans to convert the local public marina into a private one.
A transcript of a closed-door meeting in June of that year shows council members discussing tactics for dealing with Lozman, including the possibility of hiring a private investigator to turn the tables on the city’s critic.

While Apple opted for Touch ID with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, next year’s iPhones could possibly abandon the feature completely. The 2018 iPhone lineup may adopt Face ID for all of its next-generation devices, reports 9to5Mac.
With Face ID, you can unlock your phone and allow access to other features on your device by scanning your features. It uses a neural engine to map the contours and shapes of your face in real time — but isn’t confused by hairstyles, hats, or beards. Apple also says there is only a one-in-million chance someone can find a way around the system — whereas Touch ID has a one-in-50,000 chance.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo recently claimed that the future of Face ID was extremely dependent on the consumer reaction to the iPhone X. But his most recent statement explains that Apple is most likely going to lean toward 3D sensing completely.
Kuo also said the feature is key as far as selling points go for 2018 iPhone models. Even with the difficulty Apple is facing regarding the manufacturing of 3D sensing, Kuo believes TrueDepth cameras and Face ID will help Apple capitalize on its lead when it comes to this technology.
According to the analyst, Apple’s TrueDepth camera module — which is the hardware behind Face ID — is between one to two years ahead of comparable technologies. The infrared cameras, ambient light sensors, proximity sensors, and dot projectors, are reportedly a challenge when it comes to mass manufacturing.
But even with its challenges, Apple’s focus on 3D sensing leads Kuo to believe new iPhone models in the future will ditch fingerprint recognition completely. The decision will give Apple an edge against competitors because Face ID will allow all iPhones to include a full-screen design.
Earlier this week, Kuo also predicted Apple’s next iPad camera may also be compatible with Face ID. Specifically the next 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro will have an experience “consistent with the iPhone X.” Although, the report does not speculate what will happen to the fingerprint-scanning Touch ID sensor that exists on the current iPad Pro models.
While a few Chinese manufacturers may launch under-display fingerprint technology, that means a higher price point. Kuo believes manufacturers are leaning toward 3D sensing instead of having to go with in-display or the more common option — rear-placed fingerprint sensors.

Palate - very complex, peaches in rich syrup, almond. Long satisfying finish.
The Chateau de Bealon Pineau Vintage 2000 is a superb example of how great a Pineau des Charentes can be. The harvest of 2000 was of such quality that it warranted being set to one side as a future vintage. After a year aging in new barrels, the liquid was then transferred to Sauternes barrels (previously housing a 2000 Sauterne), and left peacefully for time to work its magic.
Today this miracle can now be enjoyed in the form of a wonderfully aromatic and flavorsome Pineau. This blend of eaux-de-vie and grape must is, according to its creators, best enjoyed chilled - and is a wonderful accompaniment to a fine dessert. Or perhaps enjoy as a refreshing tipple on a summer's evening - no better way to watch the sun go down. Whichever way you choose to drink it is fine - and it's a wonderfully different way to enjoy what we like to refer to as 'the little brother of Cognac'.

München – A team led by Christian Haass has identified a novel peptide that plays a role in Alzheimer’s disease: The previously overlooked eta-amyloid interferes with neuronal function and may antogonize beta-amyloid – a finding that has implications for ongoing clinical trials.
Alzheimer’s disease is associated with the appearance of characteristic neurotoxic protein aggregates in various regions in the brain. Chemical analysis of these insoluble deposits reveals that they are made up of a family of short protein fragments, referred to as beta-amyloid peptides, which are derived from a precursor protein called APP by the sequential action of two enzymes. An international team of researchers led by Christian Haass (Professor of Metabolic Biochemistry at LMU and Speaker for the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Munich) and Dr. Michael Willem (LMU) has now made a discovery which extends this picture of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, and has potentially far-reaching implications for our understanding of the condition: “A second mode of APP cleavage exists, which involves a previously unknown cleavage and generates an alternative peptide,” says Christian Haass.
Its discoverers refer to the newly characterized protein fragment by the Greek letter eta, christening it ‘amyloid-η’. “The processing pathway that produces it has been overlooked for 30 years. This is because investigators including myself have focused their attention on elucidating the origins of the beta-amyloid and on attempts to cure Alzheimer’s by inhibiting production of this peptide,” Haass explains. The paper that describes the generation of amyloid-η appears in the new issue of the journal “Nature”.
In collaboration with neurobiologist Dr. Hélène Marie based at the IPMC-CNRS in Valbonne (France) and with the local colleagues from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in the Synergy Excellence Cluster (Professor Arthur Konnerth and Dr. Marc Aurel Busche), the LMU researchers have also studied the effects of the eta-amyloid on nerve-cell function in the brain. Beta-amyloid is known to make nerve cells hyperactive, and now it turns out that the eta-amyloid antagonizes this effect. “So here we have two small peptides snipped from the same precursor protein, which have opposite effects on neuronal activity, and whose actions must normally be carefully balanced,” Haass explains.
These findings have immediate implications for ongoing clinical trials in humans, all of which are targeted to beta-amyloid. One of the trials, for instance, is designed to ascertain whether or not pharmacological inhibition of beta-secretase, the proteolytic enzyme that initiates the release of the toxic beta-amyloid from APP, can reduce memory loss in patients with Alzheimer’s. Haass, Willem and colleagues confirmed that blocking the action of the beta-secretase does indeed reduce levels of beta-amyloid. However, this is accompanied by a massive increase in the amount of eta-amyloid generated. “This could result in attenuation of neuronal activity and might therefore compromise brain function,” says Haass. He therefore suggests that investigators need to be on the look-out for any signs of unanticipated side-effects in the current clinical trials.

For more than a decade, the PPI's Center for Criminal Justice Research (CCJR) has partnered with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) to address critical issues related to Indiana’s justice systems including: crime prevention; drug and alcohol abuse associated with crime; law enforcement; sentencing and corrections; and, traffic safety. On behalf of ICJI, our criminal justice team conducted program assessments of 12 federal grant programs between January 2006 and June 2008. In an effort to further assist ICJI in improving criminal justice programming and policy development in Indiana, CCJR entered into a two-year research partnership (beginning in June 2011) to perform critical data collection and analytical tasks in two broad research areas identified as priorities by ICJI. The scope of work includes 1) a review of best practices for all Victims Services division programs and primary program areas under ICJI’s Drug and Crime Control division and Youth Services funding streams, and 2) a statewide justice data records assessment that will serve as a first step in developing a statewide crime and justice data collaboration that could emulate the nationally recognized traffic safety records collaboration facilitated by ICJI.

Have You been interested in Witchcraft but feel that modern Wicca isn’t for you?
Have you practiced and studied Wicca for years and are looking to go deeper?
Have you been initiated and elevated to your third degree but you know there is more?
In this introductory series, long time craft practitioner and initiate, Matthew Sawicki will take you on a journey far deeper than your Wicca books and training will ever offer. Matthew is an initiate of Gardnerian Wicca as well as the old craft tradition of Clan Tubal Cain out of England and is here to offer you perspective and praxis into a Witchcraft that is only now starting to show its face outside of the broom closet.
Classes may be attended individually or as an entire course. This first class will lay the foundation for our course, discussing basic pagan concepts, the origins of the Wiccan practice, and the opportunities it presents as a springboard for deeper study.
*Each class will be two hours – two 45 min sections each – with a short break in between for bathroom and refreshments.
Matthew Sawicki is a practicing Witch and Occultist of over 25 years. His magic is rooted in his upbringing in the mountains of Pennsylvania where his Catholic family and their traditions only lent to his interest and study in the old ways. Matthew was first introduced to modern Witchcraft while in high school when he began a lengthy correspondence with Carol Bulzone, original owner of Enchantments, Inc. In the East Village. Matthew eventually went on to work there as one of the apothecaries and readers and was initiated into the New York Wica Tradition through the Enchantments Coven. After working through the three degrees, Matthew yearned for more out of his craft. Fate brought about certain teachers and experiences that lead him to an older Craft that was not much talked about in the heyday of Wicca. Through many interesting twists and turns on his crooked path, Matthew was lead to California where he lived for several years while learning and practicing with the Clan of Tubal Cain tradition of the enigmatic late magister, Robert Cochrane. The current Maid of the Clan in the UK became aware of the work of the California group through several correspondences and flew to Los Angeles and initiated Matthew and his two coven mates into the original Clan. Matthew lives once again in New York City and continues his Traditional work while still corresponding with his teachers in California and England. Matthew teaches Wicca as a basis for the deeper witchcraft mysteries and welcomes inquiries as to how to go further in your craft studies.
