MAYBE HAPPINESS IS not about us, as individuals. Maybe it is not something that arrives into us. Maybe happiness is felt heading out, not in. Maybe happiness is not about what we deserve because we’re worth it. Maybe happiness is not about what we can get. Maybe happiness is about what we already have. Maybe happiness is about what we can give. Maybe happiness is not a butterfly we can catch with a net. Maybe there is no certain way to be happy. Maybe there are only maybes. If (as Emily Dickinson said) ‘Forever –is composed of Nows –’, maybe the nows are made of maybes. Maybe the point of life is to give up certainty and to embrace life’s beautiful uncertainty.

Black and white bathroom decor is a great color combination for decorating or re-decorating one of the busiest rooms in any home. The classic black and white theme never goes out of style, and there are a lot of different ways to achieve the design without breaking the bank. Whether your decorating budget is small or large, here are some great ideas for a great black and white bathroom design.
Flooring is a great way to get started with the black and white bathroom decor. By purchasing half solid white and half solid black self adhesive floor tiles, you can change the appearance of the bathroom in no time. Simply lay the tiles by alternating the colors. The self stick tiles also give you a lot of leeway in the budget, as there are several brands of flooring to choose from with different grades of flooring with various price ranges. You could also choose a pattern that has both black and white in each tile.
Paint is another great way to dramatically, and inexpensively, change the look of a room. You might choose to paint alternating walls of the bathroom white or black, paint one accent wall one of the colors, or perhaps paint large stripes down the walls for added interest.
If you are looking to spend a little extra money on re-decorating, the bathroom is one of the best places to do so, because bathrooms and kitchen renovations tend to increase the resale value of a home if you are ever to sell. This would be a great opportunity to install a black and white marble or granite countertop and sink.
If you have outdated cabinets, you may wish to apply a coat of glossy black or white paint to them for a fresh, updated look. Hanging black and white framed prints on the walls is also a good way to keep the theme of the decor going. You can also achieve a nice finishing touch by accessorizing the bathroom with a matching shower curtain, cup, soap dish, and soap dispenser set such as the sets shown below.
Another simple way to accessorize is to hang some fresh, clean black and white towel sets on the towel rods. You could alternate a large white bath towel with a smaller black towel over it, or do the colors in reverse. Towels with both black and white in them would also work well, topped with a solid white or black smaller towel or washcloth over them.
Black and white bathroom decor is fairly easy to work with, as there are many different decorating options that are readily available as well as inexpensive to do. A black and white bathroom looks stylish, classy, and will be a good investment because it is a color scheme that never becomes outdated.

Swallow Dell School Council meets every two weeks at lunchtimes to discuss issues that arise from each class, parents and staff. Decisions are made and referred back to all interested parties. All classes from year 1 to year 6 have two representatives.
To keep you updated with all the schools news and up coming events we are using our school council blog. You can find our blog here.
Today School Council had a short meeting to talk about the Music Garden. Mr Hawes Chair of Governors also came to our meeting and asked us lots of questions. Kerry from Broxap had sent us a poster showing us what the Music Garden would look like. It has all the instruments we wanted and they are all going to be on fake grass, this means we can use it all year round even when its raining.

Published by the Minster FM News Team at 2:57pm 28th May 2014.
As a number of new restaurants open their doors at the Vangarde Shopping Park, a family fun day with face painters, stilt walkers, stylists, food sampling and competitions is taking place on Thursday 29 May from 9-5pm.
Shoppers and children can enjoy free face painting and enchanting stilt walkers throughout the day, whilst those looking for professional help can sign up for a slot with a stylist for the perfect new outfit or for tips on how to redecorate their home.
An exclusive competition is also running on the day for the first 30 people to present a receipt at the entertainment marque over the value of £50, spent on the day, to pick a random shopping voucher from the various retailers valued between £10 and £100.
Deb O’Donnell, Centre Manager at Vangarde Shopping Park, said: “It’s going to be a really great day at the Vangarde with plenty to do for everyone. We’re delighted to officially welcome giraffe, Ed’s Easy Diner, Costa Coffee and Frankie & Benny’s; I’d encourage any hungry shoppers to pop over to try out the samples they’ll be offering throughout the day.
“Any shoppers who need an extra hand with picking items can enlist the help of our professional stylists; why not bring along the pair of shoes you’re trying to match an outfit to or even a mood board of a room you’re trying to redecorate.
Vangarde Shopping Park is home to York’s first John Lewis department store, the region’s largest M&S store and a state-of-the-art Next store. The impressive line-up of restaurants includes Giraffe, Costa Coffee, Ed’s Easy Diner, and Frankie & Benny’s, whilst Prezzo and Nando’s will open in the coming weeks.

Train scheduling has already received a lot of attention, whether for passenger or freight trains. While the volume of goods transport has increased over the years, extensions of railway systems are very rare because they represent major investments for railway companies or governments. Accordingly, the railway companies are often operating freight trains in a system that is close to saturation. It follows that a very effective planning and optimization of the rail network is needed.
While passenger train schedules are relatively static and cyclic, and can be planned months ahead, freight train schedules are designed with a much shorter planning time period, sometimes even one day or few hours before train departures. Moreover, passenger train schedules must obey some strict time window constraints as trains must arrive and depart from stations in order for passengers to get off/on the trains according to the posted schedule.
On the opposite, the schedule of the freight trains may vary according to the train lengths or loads, i.e., freight trains have a much greater variability in their average speed. Lastly, the track configuration of the freight trains does not have a dedicated direction as it is often the case for passenger trains. For all those reasons, the scheduling of freight trains is more complex than for passenger trains.
In this thesis, we propose a new dynamic row/column management algorithm for the schedule of freight trains in a single/double track railway mesh network system. While many works have already been devoted to train scheduling, previously published optimization models all suffer from scalability issues. Moreover, very few of them take into account the number of alternate tracks in the railway stations or in the sidings for train meets, as well as the delay incurred by trains that take sidings. We propose a non time-indexed model, which takes into account such constraints, and we design an original solution scheme with iterative additions/removals of constraints/variables in order to remain with a manageable sized mixed integer linear program, while still ensuring convergence to an optimal solution. Numerical results are presented on several data instances of CPR (Canada Pacific Railway) on the Vancouver-Calgary corridor, one of the busiest corridors in their railway system.
In addition, we developed a simulation tool within the Arena framework, for the scheduling of freight trains. Comparisons of the simulation and optimization tools are made, together with a review of the pros and cons of simulation against optimization tools.

The hero in the blue bug suit (Peter Serafinowicz) and his moth-outfitted sidekick, Arthur (Griffin Newman), are back and ready to rock the crime-fighting biz in The Tick.
"That's their mission," says Ben Edlund, creator of the popular comic book property. "They try to build their enterprise."
'The Tick' is now streaming on Amazon.
Having bested the Terror (Jackie Earle Haley), the partners meet a wave of new faces, both good and evil, including the Terror’s ex-accomplice, Ms. Lint (Yara Martinez). Thankfully, Edlund upped the heroics for Arthur's sister Dot (Valorie Curry), because the guys will need backup.
"There are threats from every direction," he warns.

This may seem utterly strange, and particularly so because I was under-loading in the two semesters of my final year at DLSU, but I couldn’t make myself take Business Math until I had absolutely no choice but to do so. All in all, I enrolled in the subject four times, failing the first time and dropping the next two.
I finally enrolled it for the last time during summer school. Partly because I needed to stay in Manila because I was playing Division I club football for San Agustin and needed an excuse to do so; and partly because, at least to my mind, the professors were probably more lenient during the summer because most students would in most likelihood be repeat enrollees.
I was fortunate in that my professor turned out to be this kindly lady who had a real knack for simplifying the complicated. While teachers can be trained, some are just born with the gift of teaching. This teacher was one of those. Perhaps for the first time in my life, I was actually enjoying a Math subject. Who would have thought this was possible?
Because I had so much time, to keep from getting bored at the house where I lived in Manila, I would practice solving problems provided in our textbooks until I had solved them all. The teacher was giving us daily quizzes and I kept perfecting these. Whenever I made mistakes, I was even disappointed with myself. I was getting praised by the teacher regularly. She probably thought that I was a Math geek. I dared not tell her that I was a take-4 Business Math enrollee!
And because of my excellent class standing, I was even exempted from taking the final exam! My final grade? 4.0! Hallelujah! I never imagined I had that in me! I guess the grade merely confirmed what I always knew – that I was not really a dumb-dumb in Math. It was just that I was never really interested in learning the numbers. When I was left with no choice but immerse myself in it, I actually did well!
But then, because I took my final subject during the summer, it was too late for me to join the graduation. Of course, this was exactly as I wanted it. Had I joined graduation, my mother would have discovered that I had only managed to finish Liberal Arts instead of Lia-Com. When I finally returned home to Lipa after summer classes, she wanted to see my transcript of records. I invented one excuse after another until she finally either forgot to ask or just got tired of asking. In fact, I would not see my transcript of records until the late nineties when I asked my former player Lester Padua to get it for me from the DLSU Registrar’s Office.
I needed the transcript because I was about to enroll in a master’s management program. The irony wasn’t lost on me. I dropped business from my Lia-Com program because I couldn’t see its relevance to my life and expected career two decades earlier. In 1999, when I enrolled into De La Salle Lipa’s Master in Management program, it was my decision rather than somebody else’s to study business. I was also better equipped to do so. But I still couldn’t help but smile when it occurred to me that a part of my life that I tried to work around ultimately came back to haunt me until I was left with no choice but to deal with it.

I guess that when you have the expanse of the White House lawns to make use of you either buy a dog or a sheep – and President Obama seems to have gone for a mix.
We all know one of the problems of dog ownership. This can be made even worse when you inherit someone else’s mess to clean up.
So, just for a bit of fun, here is a really rough cartoon of the President with his new dog, Bo!

PHOENIX — Thousand’s school teachers in Arizona and Colorado left their classrooms on Thursday to walk out requesting more financing for government-funded schools, the most recent surge of an educator dissent development that has officially cleared through three states and is spreading rapidly to others.
Many governments funded schools were closed down in Arizona and Colorado in light of the walkouts, which lately overturned day by day schedules in the Republican-overwhelmed states West Virginia, Oklahoma and Kentucky.
“Our associates in different states have demonstrated to us what’s conceivable,” said Noah Karvelis, 23, a music educator at Tres Rios Elementary School close Phoenix and the main coordinator in Arizona. Mr. Karvelis singled out as motivation the statewide strike in West Virginia, where a Republican representative marked a bill a month ago giving instructors and other state workers a 5 percent raise.
An examination by The Arizona state demonstrated that more than 840,000 of the state’s 1.1 million government-funded school understudies are possibly influenced by the closings.
Teachers and their supporters, a considerable lot of them wearing the red shirts that symbolize their development, started assembling on Thursday morning around Chase Field, a baseball stadium in downtown Phoenix. From that point, they intended to walk around early afternoon to the Capitol and hold a rally to voice their requests for reestablishing instruction financing to 2008 levels, raises and a stop to tax reductions until per-student subsidizing achieves the national normal.
They squeezed ahead with the walkout in spite of a guarantee by Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, to expand their pay rates 20 percent by 2020. Wagering that a developing economy will reinforce income, Mr. Ducey said he could give the raises and strengthen school spending plans without charge expands, a suggestion that numerous educators and officials questioned. Instructors declared a week ago that they had voted for the walkout, saying that 78 percent of the individuals who cast tickets had said yes.
What’s the distinction between a walkout and a strike? Why is this event now? This is what to think about the educator protests.
Arizona burned through $8,141 per understudy in 2017, well underneath the national norm, as per the state’s examiner general. The normal educator pay in Arizona was $48,372 a year ago, likewise well beneath the national normal. More youthful and less experienced teachers can make far not as much as the state normal.
Joe Thomas, leader of the Arizona Education Association, the state’s biggest teachers union, said that the beginning pay for educators in Arizona was about $35,000, which for some in the calling made paying off understudy credits or beginning a family troublesome. The coordinators of the walkout, Mr. Thomas stated, tried to demonstrate political pioneers how much instructors were harming monetarily in Arizona, where Republicans control the State Legislature and years of tax breaks have depleted training spending plans.
It stays to be perceived how Arizona’s pioneers will react to the educators’ development, broadly referred to here as #RedforEd, and to what extent it could last. Educators in Oklahoma picketed the Capitol for nine days, calling for subsidizing that to a great extent did not appear, however they got a $6,000 raise. The statewide instructors’ strike in West Virginia closed down schools for just about two weeks.
In both Arizona and Colorado, coordinators have requested that teachers, sports coach, and instructors amid the walkouts, as they have been improving the situation weeks in littler dissents.
A huge number of educators wanted to slip on the means of the gold-domed statehouse in Denver on Thursday and Friday, where they will meet with administrators and urge them to expand classroom subsidizing. No less than 27 locales in Colorado have scratched off classes, saying they won’t have enough instructors to oblige understudies on those days.
The spread of the educator dissent development to Colorado, where Republicans control the State Senate, however, Democrats summon the State House of Representatives and senator’s office, flags an intersection of political limits. As of not long ago, huge scale sorted out dissents had been restricted to dark red states with powerless open area associations.
Colorado’s economy is blasting, however, the express instructors’ association, the Colorado Education Association, says the state has shorted the training framework $6.6 billion since 2009.
This has influenced understudies from various perspectives, said Kerrie Dallman, the association president. Half of the regions in the state now have four-day school weeks, and the state’s low educator pay has made a 3,000-man staffing deficiency.
Educators, Ms. Dallman stated, are working two or even three employments, purchasing their own school supplies or swinging to GoFundMe to pay for new course readings.

The graceful agers aren’t ageing better, they’re just ageing smarter. The secret isn’t necessarily in what they’re doing. It’s in what they aren’t doing.
If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, it may be time to evaluate some of your daily routines. The foods you eat and even the way you sleep can add years to your face and may shorten your lifespan. Here are 7 tips age-accelerating habits and ways to reverse the process.
To some extent there’s no avoiding the lines and wrinkles that accompany ageing. The first wrinkles begin to appear at the tender age of 25!
The traditional three-step regimen of cleanse, tone and moisturise may not be the best choice for ageing skin. Focus instead on cleanser, treatment and moisturiser targeted for mature skin. With advances in skin care, radiance can be regained by using the right skin-care products.
Ageing skin tends to be drier skin than in our younger years. A good choice is a gentle cleanser that does not strip the skin. Opt for cream or lotion formulas that can be rinsed or tissued off. As a result hleave the natural lipid (oil) layer of the skin in tact. Double-duty cleansers that exfoliate with jojoba beads or mild alpha-hydroxy acids are a good bet for occasional use. These are best used at night.
Fine lines, hyperpigmentation (dark spots), loss of elasticity and dullness are all characteristics of ageing skin. To effectively address these skin-care concerns, a more potent skin-care product than a moisturiser is needed. Enter serums. Concentrated treatment formulas work to target individual skin issues. Incorporating a serum into your daily regimen for day and night allows for individualised attention to the skin issues that affect you most.
For fine lines, look for a retinoid (vitamin A), which works to resurface the skin. Best used at night, retinoids also increase cellular activity in the dermis (lower levels of the skin) thereby helping with loss of elasticity. Hyperpigmentation responds well to the chemical hydroquinone. Also look for natural ingredients like licorice extract, kojic acid (from fungus) and vitamin C. To improve sagging skin, vitamin C is a good option. This also helps with collagen production. Alpha-hydroxy acids, better known as AHAs exfoliate, resurface and unclog pores, leading to radiant skin and relieving dullness.
Perhaps the most important step in your anti ageing skin-care regimen is moisturising. Moisturiser replenishes the lipids (natural oils) on the surface of the skin which typically are diminished as we age. Today, moisturisers multi-task with added treatment benefits. Best moisturisers for day include vitamins like C and E as well as other antioxidants like green tea, exfoliants like alpha-hydroxy acids, humectants like hyaluronic acid and SPF. At night look for lotions with retinoids (vitamin A) and alpha-hydroxy acids for their ability to exfoliate and improve skin tone.
Last, but certainly not least, wear an SPF anytime you are outside during daylight hours. If you’re getting too many rays without protection, you may be severely damaging your skin. Your best choice is a broad-spectrum sunscreen which protects skin from UVA (aging rays) and UVB (rays that burn). If you don’t have an SPF included in your moisturiser, use a minimum of SPF 20-30 on a daily basis.
As you age, you might be tempted to overdo the makeup to emulate a more youthful appearance. But there’s nothing attractive about cakey foundation or spidery lashes. Hence, less is more! Makeup should only enhance your natural beauty not mask it.
Look for micronised mineral makeup for healthy, radiant skin. These provide four important functions in one: foundation, concealer, sunscreen and active skin care benefits.
A critical factor in combating ageing is exercise. The health benefits of exercise are plentiful. It improves heart health, boosts brain power, controls body fat and enhances our mood. You don’t need to take extreme, sweaty measure to gain benefit either.
Choose an activity that you love to do. This might be walking with a friend or partner, doing a yoga or tai chi class, dancing in the kitchen or spending an afternoon in the garden. Just get your body moving! Doing any physical activity is better than doing none. The National Heart Foundation recommends 2.5 – 5 hours of moderate exercise per week, and do muscle strengthening exercises on at least 2 days per week.
Rem sleep, also referred to as Rapid Eye Movement sleep, is a critical part of natural anti aging.

Here is a short info about my site: Due to the increasing number of projects here I had to structure them a bit. I introduced new main sections called c64-projects and amiga-projects.
For those who didn’t know it already: The build scripts that create a universal mac binary of VICE called MacViceBuilder are now completely integrated in the current VICE release.
I removed the download link from my page and updated the site’s contents.
PS: All patches found there are also integrated in the current VICE release.
This blog will contain notes about the personal projects I am working on. The main focus will be my favorite hardware namely the Commodore 64 and Apple’s Macs and the emulation of the first one on the second machine.
As I am the current maintainer of the Mac port . . . → Read More: Welcome to my blog!

I've been reading through these forum for weeks and have been gettin confused on networks /insurance billing. Do you have to register with lynx,Gerber,etc to bill them?do you have to sign an agreement/contract with them? Can you not q that agreement And still bill them?with is this list of insurance companies I keep on reading bout.?would I still be able to make a decent amount not messing with insurance billing and just chargin upfront?any info will b greatly appreciate it. Ps weather down here is excellent for wsr year-round.
In my opinion I would get setup with the networks and below is a chart detailing how it works.
Now there's 3 networks? What happened to the other one if I may ask?
What other network are you referring to?
There are several others including Gerber National and Quest Claims services that we sometimes mention but the three Korey mentioned handle the bulk of the claims so we always tell customers to be sure and sign up with them immediately. Generally speaking the rest are more or less regional and easy enough to sign up with on the fly as necessary.

Wow, I've been lurking on this board for 3 months and finally brought home a fabulous fully loaded black autostick 2k3 PT GT this evening with my wife. I don't remember ever grinning so hard after driving any car ever. Heck, my wife has no interest in cars and she's gone nuts over it. Absolutely spectacular! Had some grins from fellow drivers out there too. Pretty uncanny.
Anyway, just a couple of questions. I've done searches for info which has been helpful, but I'd like to gather some info in one place for convenience sake.
First, the proverbial exhaust question. There's a shop about 15 minutes away from me that works with Borla, Flowmaster and Magnaflow exhausts...perfect for my Cruiser. I've eliminated BTG already, so my question is, which would be the most mellow (quiet) of the three? I'm only looking at singles, no duals. I'm leaning toward the Magnaflow cat-back s/s exhaust that Stephen R. installed just 'cause I like the looks of it.
Second, does anyone have experience with a decent all-season tire in light snow, yet performs decently well in dry/wet conditions? All I'm looking for is something that does better in dry/wet than the Goodyears and at least average in light snow. I need to replace the crappy Goodyears. Yes, I know about tires.com and tirerack.com. I'm looking for an observation or two here.
Third, I need a rubber cargo tray for the trunk area. I saw one at autotrucktoys.com made by Husky Liners for 80 bucks. Any opinion at all on this?? I just need something for wet/snow/cold weather so I can dump stuff in the back. Thanks.
Whatever exhaust you decide on remember a turbo wants and needs a flow through exhaust for optimum performance. I didn't pick any of those exhausts. I opted for a 2 1/2" catback Heartthrob single flow through exhaust. Great mellow sound.
I've been looking into the Heartthrob as well. Looks pretty close to stock. If the noise is a step or two above stock that would work. I just don't want 5 or 6 steps up on the noise scale.
Thanks Green for the info. If it passes the wife test, I'll keep Heartthrob in mind. And of course thanks for actually offering any info at all. I'll probably get feedback from a few other sources being that posting here seemed to be a crash and burn type of idea.
Kirby, what did the Yokohamas cost you. I'm looking at new rubber in the near future.
I also opted for the Heartthrob Single Exhaust. It's extremely quiet (IMO), yet has a nice deep tone when on the throttle. It also looks similar to stock, which is nice because it doesn't stand out too much. The fitment and quailty is also great, considering the price. There are a few coupon codes availible for 10-15% off of the Heartthrob exhaust if you order it online through JCWhitney.
The Continental ContiExtremeContacts are also another good All-Season tire and are fairly priced around $95 each.
I just got Pirelli PZero Nero 215/45/WR17 to replace my worn out Goodyears.
Ratings are top in all categories but Treadwear, cost less than stock as well.
Ordered them after seeing them on a CL55 AMG Benz!
BTW, I wanted the Yokos but opted for the all season instead.

My phone, there is no use anyone phoning the house during the day if I am out and about in the fields or garden, also I have it for safety if I was to have an accident there would be no use shouting there is no-one to hear me, this was brought home to me one morning while feeding the Alpacas and Daffodil kicked backed and caught me in the abdomen could have been nasty.
Reading glasses, cant read those labels on things without them and seed packets why do they make the writing so small.
Knife, this has come in handy so many times, cutting bits off plants, cutting string and it came in handy for rescuing one of the ducks when we had the last buzzard attack one of the ducks got caught up in the electric netting and I had to cut her free.
my camera, a bit scratched now, I have had it a few years but I love my little camera and much prefer it to the camera on the phone, you never know when you need to take a photo.
So that's whats in my pockets on a daily basis, although I do end up with other odd things throughout the day, cable ties, screws, nails bits of string.
Always a hankie, never the phone and hit and miss with the camera.
Since I have become a grandmother, I always carry a hankie and a small peppermint candy cane.
Much like mine, only no glasses and no dog whistle. I normally have some secateurs and my keys as I oock the house and my key ring is pretty useful. Of course its not the same if I go to town.
Oh my, only 5. I always have dog treats and bags, tissues, glasses wipes (how do my specs get filthy just walking Ben), sugar free gum and werther's, phone, camera mostly, a hair band or three and at least 3 shopping lists, all old. When I am in Cardigan you can add wet wipes and a second pack of tissues. kaitlyn always has sticky hands.
I always have money (I always put my coins in my pocket instead of in my change purse), kleenex, hand sanitizer, candies (usually the ones that you get free in a restaurant when you pay the bill) my phone (counting steps) and various receipts and as Pam said, old and new shopping lists.

The National Lacrosse League has canceled the first two weeks of the season. This comes as a result of failing to reach an agreement with the PLPA.
The Union and the league failed to reach an agreement by 5 pm on Wednesday. The PLPA made the league an offer after the deadline.
However, the league said that they cannot move forward with their latest offer.
During the impasse, the PLPA has urged its players not to attend training camps. They also urged the players not to take any physicals until there is an agreement.
With these actions, the league cannot operate as normal. Games on December 1st and December 8th have been canceled.
At the present moment, the league is slated to begin its new season — if a new CBA can be reached — on December 15. New expansion team Philadelphia Wings are slated to make their return since 2014 at the Wells Fargo Center at 1 pm against the Buffalo Bandits, among other games.
With the new schedule, the Wings will kick off the season before the Georgia Swarm hosts the New England Black Wolves at 7 pm. The Vancouver Warriors will travel to the Calgary Roughnecks at 9 pm that night.
The San Diego Seals, the other 2018-19 expansion team, will make their debut on December 22nd at 9 pm. They will travel to Denver, Colorado to face the Colorado Mammoth at the Pepsi Center.

“The official map of the culture at any time," Iain Sinclair writes, "would always fail to include vital features." I see my writing to reclaim what is at the point of disappearance, less a digging down, the work of archaeologists or historians, than a series of collisions—people, places, encounters. What would our lives be, Walter Benjamin asks, if our lives were to be defined by the song last heard on everyone's lips? The already-heard reaches us like echoes awakened by the past.
Robert Buckeye’s work—whether he deals with intimate or far-flung geography—has an edge to it, an incisive lyric toughness that's very much his own. The voice has pace, rhythm, force.
Robert Buckeye, former College archivist, moved to Middlebury in 1971, moonlighted as an avid member on his bar trivia team, “The End of The Road.” Bob and the team used to frequent Two Brothers Tavern for its Wednesday trivia night. He still remembers being asked which famous rock singer was a paratrooper, and immediately knowing the answer: Hendrix.

The simmering cauldron that is science is a mysterious and wonderful thing. It takes a while before it produces results that are ready to be served up for consumption by society. The progress of science depends on an open exchange of results, healthy skepticism, and often, spirited criticism and rebuttal. So, how do we know when it’s soup?
Just in the last few weeks there were all kinds of new scientific results served up by the national news media—some useful, some just interesting. Geneticists report that some of Sally Hemming’s descendants are also descendants of one of the male Jeffersons of Virginia. Dozens of fossilized eggs containing embryonic sauropods are discovered in Patagonia. The Pacific Ocean is releasing large quantities of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, which although it doesn’t cause surfers’ euphoria, is an important greenhouse gas. The number of college students who smoke jumped 28 percent between 1993 and 1997.
What all of these science-based news stories have in common is that they were published in such prestigious journals as Science, Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, and the Journal of the American Medical Association. Typically, these results are released to the press just a few days before they are to be published, after rigorous peer review, in the journal with a prominent warning that the information is embargoed until the publication date. A series of articles in the Oct. 30 issue of Science provides a variety of perspectives of scientists, editors and journalists about this embargo practice, which is aimed fundamentally at quality control.
Coincidentally, in that very same issue of Science, there was a letter to the editor signed by 20 prominent ecologists pledging the authors to the task of transforming the science of ecology to better serve humanity. They argue that, given the urgency of the problems of humankind and the biosphere, it is not enough that scientists just do first-rate research and publish it in the technical literature for the benefit of scientific colleagues. We must also inform the general public of the relevance and importance of our work. As public teachers, we must interpret science even when knowledge is incomplete.
For those of us in the Chesapeake Bay scientific community, the dilemma in resolving conflicts between the deliberate scientific process involving peer review, publication and independent replication of results, and the urgent need to inform the public and decisionmakers was brought home last year by the Pfiesteria piscicida phenomenon. Then, the public imperative for action to protect public health and find solutions demanded scientific conclusions before careful studies could be conducted, results reproduced and journal articles reviewed by peers. Yet the time from submission of a paper to a scientific journal to its actual publication can be a year or more.
This may be an extreme example, but the fact of the matter is that new scientific results concerning the Chesapeake Bay and its restoration are routinely reported to management committees and the public at large before they are formally published. The BAY JOURNAL does it in every issue.
To a large extent, this is a demand-driven and constructive process. To think a rigid embargo of new scientific information could or should be maintained until formal publication is naive. Moreover, scientific information is often reported in the media based on communications in open meetings or in response to press queries in which scientists are asked to interpret and speculate. Even so, scientists can still release, interpret, share, evaluate and communicate scientific information more responsibly.
A case in point is the renewed controversy over whether the lesions observed on fish in the areas suspected of toxic pfiesteria outbreaks were, in fact, caused by a fungus rather than pfiesteria. This was summarized in a well-balanced article in the November 1998 issue of the BAY JOURNAL, which itself followed a spate of news articles in the popular press on this subject.
Many of the news articles were inspired by a press release titled, “USGS find fungus to be a cause of fish lesions in Chesapeake.” The press release contained some interesting and useful information. While it duly admitted that the results could not rule out that pfiesteria played a role in the development of lesions, the press release went on to speculate that the fungus may have been introduced and that the fungal-induced lesions may stimulate pfiesteria blooms.
Neither of these speculations appeared to be based on observational or experimental evidence. But, as one who was asked by many reporters to comment on these findings, the most troubling thing is that the scientific details—the data, a report or paper—were not available to the scientific community. How could I, or any other scientist, thoughtfully respond to the reported findings without the opportunity to review the supporting information and its limitations? If they had been reported in “this week’s issue of the journal Science,” I could have at least been able to read the paper and would have found some comfort in the knowledge that it had been subjected to rigorous peer review.
The press spin of this story was astounding. A story carried by the Associated Press and widely reported in regional papers ignored the caveats of the press release and said flatly “skin ulcers on Chesapeake Bay fish are caused by fungus and not pfiesteria.” The Delmarva Farmer went so far as to indicate that information on the fungal infection of lesions was ignored for political reasons (in fact, uncertainty regarding the cause of lesions was stressed throughout the assessment process). It also suggested that actions taken to close tidal rivers and reduce nutrient inputs were, therefore, “off the mark.” The result: The public is further confused and the agricultural community grows more cynical toward the new regulations which require its cooperation.
I am disturbed by what seems to be a trend toward “press release science” in our Bay community. In some cases, results are reported that have not been shared with the scientific community, much less peer-reviewed and published. For example, the U.S. Geological Survey also recently issued a press release headlined, “Chesapeake Bay waters have warmed, evidence suggests.” It reported the conclusion of a poster presentation at a scientific meeting in Canada, based on results that are not yet accessible to the scientific community. I was quoted by a Baltimore Sun reporter who called for my reaction as saying: “I’m from Missouri. Show me.” Although I would have preferred a more elegant way to have my views expressed, the quote succeeded in communicating the key point: The process of science is based on skepticism. Fellow scientists must be able to see and evaluate the evidence.
Another recent USGS press release illustrates another dimension of “press release science”: oversimplifying or twisting the results of published reports to attract attention. This release was headlined: “High nutrient concentrations are not the only factors controlling algal biomass.” Commendably, this press release accompanied a newly published report. But, my own reading of the report leads me to conclude that the public relations person who wrote the release got just a little carried away. The study shows that in addition to nutrient concentrations, light availability and substrate also determine where algae grow in the nontidal Susquehanna River. Wow, is that news? Is the lay reader left with the impression that nutrients don’t matter, so why are we spending so much effort to reduce them? Do we risk worsening public confusion and cynicism by emphasizing iconoclastic “hooks” to catch press interest?
My purpose is not to criticize the USGS. It just happened to provide these recent examples of “press release science.” Other government agencies, universities (including my own) and research institutions have done similar things. Even those of us who think we don’t live in glass houses certainly have large picture windows.
What can we do then to improve the situation? A couple of things come to mind. First, the scientific community in the Bay region, perhaps after a discussion with the regional press, could develop general guidelines concerning the sharing of information (even if it’s only on a web site) with the scientific community prior to, or at least, at the time of issuing press releases. The Bay Program’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee could sponsor a dialogue toward this end.
Second, it seems to me that the Bay scientific community could do a far better job in developing consensus on issues of timely importance. In that way, constructive criticism can at least be applied and conclusions constrained by the limitations of data, before serving up the soup. Groups of environmental, agricultural and medical scientists, in fact, did a relatively good job in that regard during the pfiesteria controversies in 1997. But, too often, we content ourselves with holding large workshops that may be effective in sharing information, but are not structured to engage debate and build consensus.

Sourced from the esteemed family-owned Italian mill, Candiani Mills, Left Field NYC's 14 oz. Indigo/Indigo Greaser is constructed from a 14 oz. white-line selvedge ID denim. As a result of the indigo-dyed warp and weft, the denim has a deep indigo appearance on both the interior and exterior. As for fit, the Greaser is a straight leg with slight taper and medium-high rise, similar to a '50s-style dungaree. In classic Left Field NYC form, the Indigo/Indigo Greaser is detailed with branded, American-sourced hardware and finishings; such as the rivets, buttons, and pocket bags.
Left Field's Christian McCann has been producing "Working Man's Clothes at a Working Man's Price" for over fifteen years now and their New York Sportswear is about as close as you can get to the clothing of mid-century America.
His three man team designs and sells Left Field and their undergarments line Choctaw Ridge out of an old sweater factory in Ridgewood, Queens.

Anyone expecting a subtle character study or intricate narrative are "barking up the wrong palm tree" here, said Colin Covert in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. But Couples Retreat is a "pleasant, undemanding, middle-of-the-road comedy," and if you're looking for escape, this movie offers "two hours of hammock time for your mind."
Couples Retreat "may not be overly ambitious," said Lisa Kennedy in The Denver Post, but it is "greatly silly and unexpectedly wise at times." The film contains "a fine dose of (occasionally bitter) sweetness and a buoyant raft of witty lines," and it's "less a romantic comedy than a timely maintenance comedy."

If you've made the decision to sell your home, chances are you don't want your home sitting on the market for too long. This is the worst nightmare for someone selling a home. The longer your home sits on the market, the more it could be costing you. See below for tips to help you sell your home fast.
A lot of potential buyers shop for homes via the internet first, so if the pictures posted of your home aren't up to par, they most likely won't take a second look. Be sure the photos of your home capture its beauty properly. Use natural lighting during the daytime to take your photos. If your photos are still dark, open up blinds, curtains and even turn on lights to help lighten them up. Take pictures from a doorway to show the depth of a room. Use a ladder to get up high to take pictures of rooms from up above, especially in rooms that have tall ceilings or even cathedral ceilings. If taking your own photos isn't working out for you, hire a professional.
If a potential buyer gets past the photos on the internet, most likely a drive-by will be done. Again, if the seller doesn't like what they see, they'll never step foot inside to see anything further. Add curb appeal to your home by cleaning up your yard a bit. Clean up brush piles, trim back bushes/trees, clean out garden/flower beds and fertilize/seed the lawn so you have more grass than weeds. Power wash your siding to remove any mold or mildew, and power wash your deck, porch or patio. You want everything to look clean, not moldy. Adding some flowers, a new mailbox, and a new coat of paint on your front door will also help add some appeal to your home.
The interior of your home needs to be cleaned like never before to appeal to a potential buyer. Nobody wants to tour a home and smell something awful, see clutter laying everywhere, or notice stains on the carpeting. Have your carpeting cleaned by a professional, take out some of the excess furniture to make each room appear larger, and remove clutter, knickknacks, as well as family photographs. Be sure your home smells clean and fresh, not over-powered with scents (so don't burn candles, plug in fresheners, or bake cookies to try to hide smells). If need be, hire a professional cleaning company to come out and clean your home top to bottom.
If anything in your home is broken, it needs to be repaired. This means broken stair railings, missing spindles, or light fixtures that need to be replaced. Make sure all light bulbs in the house are working, and be sure none are missing. If there's a running toilet, leaky sink or noisy pipes, repair them all.
Selling your home can be stressful, especially when it takes your home a little longer to sell. Contact your real estate agent about other things you can do to help sell your home faster and make your home stand out.

Turkey has reportedly made a formal request to the United States for the arrest of U.S.-based Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen on charges of orchestrating an attempted military coup on July 15. Mana Rabiee reports.
Turkey blames Fethullah Gulen and members of his religious movement for orchestrating the failed military coup of two months ago. Gulen has been living in a self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania since 1999....but now Ankara has reportedly -- formally -- asked that he be extradited to stand trial back in Turkey. The drama of July 15 began when rogue soldiers commandeered tanks and fighter jets, bombing the Turkish parliament and seizing bridges in a bid to take power. Some 240 people were killed in the weekend of violence that followed. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan discussed Gulen's extradition in China with President Barack Obama, who told him the decision needs to be a LEGAL one. Turkish officials say Gulen has built up a network of followers over decades inside the armed forces and civil service with the aim of taking over Turkey. Gulen, a former Erdogan ally, denies involvement in the coup attempt. And even if he WERE arrested, lawyers say the extradition process could take YEARS.

Adult stem cells have been identified as having the potential to reverse the effects of degenerative conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). COPD is a group of progressive lung diseases – including chronic bronchitis and emphysema – that block airflow and make it difficult to breathe. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, and is projected to be the third by 2020.
The primary cause of COPD is cigarette smoking and/or exposure to tobacco smoke. Other causes include air pollution, infectious diseases and genetic conditions. Chemical fumes and dust can also contribute to COPD. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chronic cough, wheezing, and mucus production. Extra-pulmonary manifestations of COPD include osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, skeletal muscle abnormalities, and depression.
There is currently no cure for COPD and the manifestations can only be treated symptomatically. The disease afflicts more than 5% of the population in many countries and accounts for more than $600 billion in health care costs, morbidity, and mortality.
The good news is that stem cell therapy has the potential to reverse the effects of degenerative diseases, like COPD. Adult stem cells utilized for lung disease treatment are found in every part of the body and their primary role is to heal and maintain the tissue in which they reside.
Adult stem cells can be harvested from a patient’s own tissue, such as adipose (fat) tissue, muscle, teeth, skin or bone marrow. Fat tissue is one of the most plentiful sources of stem cells in the body. In fact, approximately 500 times more stem cells can be obtained from fat than bone marrow.
During a simple and safe outpatient stem cell procedure, stem cells can easily be isolated from fat tissue under local anesthesia in approximately 30-90 minutes, using a mini-lipoaspirate technique. They can then be infused or injected after the mini-liposuction.
COPD patients who have undergone stem cell therapies often express the willingness to receive additional cell infusions, if possible, due to a feeling of well-being associated with the injection. A recent study provides early evidence of feasibility and safety of infusion of cells from fat tissue or stromal vascular fraction into patients with COPD. The study was co-authored by U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. Chief Science Officer Kristin Comella and published in the August 2017 issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine Research.
Our team has successfully treated over 7,000 patients with very few safety concerns reported. We are extremely encouraged by the positive patient results we are seeing from our physician-based treatments. Stem cells possess enormous regenerative potential, and their potential applications are virtually limitless. Stem cell cutting-edge treatments are safe, compliant, and effective.
One day, stem cell therapy will be the gold standard of care for the treatment of most degenerative diseases, including COPD, Osteoarthritis and others. Our hope is that stem cell therapy will provide relief and an improved quality of life for many patients. The future of medicine is here!

Key State Blue Cross and Blue Shield Plan (a disguised case of an actual BCBS Plan) is the merged product of three state plans. Initially burdened with a reputation of poor customer service, Key State’s executives decided to invest heavily in service improvement, eventually achieving superior levels. Key State’s high-quality customer service emerged as a true competitive advantage for its customers, who were primarily businesses and health benefits consultants who influenced corporate purchasers of health insurance. The Key State brand came to be synonymous with personal service, security, choice, and dependability.
But the health care insurance market was changing under Key State’s feet. Spiraling costs meant that high-quality service became less of a competitive advantage as employers were lured by low-cost, low-service providers. Many employers cut or dropped health care benefits entirely, swelling the ranks of the under- and uninsured, who in turn were extremely price-sensitive when shopping for health insurance on their own. Finally, the health care insurance market was being revolutionized by financial institutions willing to hold health benefit accounts and pay providers directly, thereby eliminating the need for Key State as a mediator.
Key State executives were aware of these changes but were challenged by the mindset, culture, and organizational design custom-fit to their business accounts. The case asks the reader to consider whether Key State has the right number of target markets, whether it should have one brand or several for its different target markets, what it should do for the uninsured, and how it should improve its brand experience in light of the industry's changing landscape. All of these decisions will have significant implications for the organizational design of Key State.
To better understand the challenges involved in a successful health insurance company to cope with a rapidly changing and unpredictable environment; to formulate a new strategy and a new organizational design to accomplish this adaptation.

Northfield is a town in Washington County, Vermont, United States. The town lies in a valley within the Green Mountains and has been home to Norwich University since 1866. It contains the village of Northfield, where over half of the population lives. The town's total population was 6,207 at the 2010 census.
Had dinner with family and the service was good, food was tasty and atmosphere was warm. Enjoyed the calamari appetizer and the crab ravioli with shrimp. Tried the maple martini but was unimpressed. Definitely did not need the spices sprinkled on top. cheesecake was good.
Capital Grounds always seems to have a line, but it moves fast. There are lots of food and coffee selections and the seating is comfortable and fairly private.
The Common Man Restaurant is located in Warren, Vermont, in the heart of Mad River Valley, between Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen. Sited in a 19th century barn, the dining room is elegant in its simplicity. With hand-hewn beams framing an open hearth fireplace, the 100-seat restaurant is inviting and intimate. Since the original owners, the Orsini family, opened their doors in the 1960s, 3209 German Flats Road has been a popular place for locals, visitors, and skiers to gather for a quality Vermont dining experience. Now in its fourth generation of operation, the current owners, Chef Adam Longworth and Lorien Wroten, are working hard to re-energize this Vermont dining institution with small town hospitality and world class cuisine.
Wonderful atmosphere. Food was amazing. Extensive wine list. Service was friendly and attentive. We were a party of 7 and ordered several of the dishes. The desserts were fabulous.
Great bagel sandwich I had! A bit pricey but that's because of Vermont's limitation on big corporations.
Breakfast - Lunch - Coffee - Pastry - Ice Cream - Cocktails - Home of Awake Coffee, and Scout's Honor Ice Cream. The Sweet Spot is a cafe & bakery in Waitsfield, Vermont.
Lovely little spot on the river for casual get together, hanging out and sitting by the river. Nice coffee, cold drinks, ice pops and snacks. Just wish the staff were more friendly.
If you're in the area and looking for good pizza and fresh tasty salads, this is your place. Everything I've had from there has been great!
Due to our schedule we needed something convenient for dinner. We ate two dinners - one dine-in and one carry-out. The quantity of food was good, but the quality left a lot to be desired. For example, we ordered the appetizer deal - tortilla chips were stale, and two of the other items were not what we ordered. The servers were nice to us, but they complained too much (and, too loudly) about their co-workers.

I joined the board because: I am committed to fighting climate change and I believe that my experience in sustainability will be an asset to HC3.
My passion is: Sustainability, skiing, white water, music, and of course beer.
My favorite “green” thing to do is: To connect like minded individuals to create synergies and actions towards a more sustainable planet.
The craziest thing I have ever done in the name of sustainability is: I once drank cobra infused rice wine and duck’s blood to connect with local villagers while working on a conservation project to help save the Tonkin’s snub-nosed monkey in a remote jungle village in North Vietnam.

London, 3 May 2017: High-Performance Compute (HPC) co-location facility Aegis Data has announced a strategic alignment with cloud infrastructure and services provider vScaler to host its cloud environment within its data centre. The partnership is further supported by Global Cloud Xchange (GCX), a subsidiary of Reliance Communications (RCOM), which will enable direct access to vScaler’s Cloud Services platform via GCX’s CLOUD X Fusion, delivering Next-Generation application-specific Cloud Services to consumers and enterprises over the GCX Global Network.
As part of this strategic partnership, Aegis will provide vScaler with the necessary power and infrastructure requirements that will allow both organisations to capture the increasing demand for scalable HPC-on-demand services from enterprises in the region.
Industry findings have projected that the HPC market is expected to grow up to USD 36.62 billion by 2020, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.45 per cent. Traditionally, HPC has focused on serving end users, including researchers, engineers, scientists, educational institutes and healthcare professionals, but the growth of IoT and Big Data, combined with the emergence of virtual reality and online gaming, now means it is being more readily embraced by enterprises requiring greater computing power across the IT estate.
vScaler’s proposition supports this demand via a dedicated, application-specific HPC cloud platform, one that allows users to provision full HPC-on-demand clusters, Big Data analytics and accelerated GPU compute. This will now be enhanced through the relationship with Aegis Data. Currently, one of the biggest challenges facing data centre facilities is the ability to support the necessary power requirements or headroom for growth, and in doing so capping what can be achieved for customers. Aegis Data’s data halls are specifically engineered to deliver the high-density power and cooling required by these Next-Generation platforms, and in doing so provide the perfect complement for vScaler’s offering.
The three-pronged collaboration will further leverage on GCX’s core assets, which include a global network and a leading ecosystem of on-net clouds and providers, enabling seamless, latency-guaranteed, private connectivity between cloud platforms and data centers, co-location environments, or offices, to reduce network costs, increase bandwidth throughput, and provide a more consistent network experience than Internet-based connections.
“The alignment between Aegis and GCX represents one of the most innovative and progressive IT platforms on the market today. Demand for HPC capabilities is growing at a frantic rate, and in meeting the requirements of a diversifying market, it is imperative that we are able to demonstrate that we have the power and connectivity required to support growing data demands,” commented David Power, Chief Technology Officer at vScaler.
“This triangulated partnership supports these demands in perfect harmony, meaning that those organisations looking for HPC requirements can have their demands serviced all under one roof. This is a truly scalable offering, which means that our customers can focus on their core business proposition, safe in the knowledge that their IT infrastructure can grow with them regardless of their data requirements,” Power added.
vScaler has been under development for a number of years, orchestrated from a consortium of IT professionals who have recognised the need for a hybrid approach to cloud computing. At its core, vScaler is essentially a cloud platform and service that offers a hybrid approach towards cloud computing, allowing for private cloud adoption and access to a public resource when demand dictates. With vScaler, you can deploy your on premise private cloud in minutes, add cloud-based services or applications, and scale to public or hybrid cloud environments on-demand – all under a single management portal.

I was hoping no one would notice, but a few of you pointed out to me that I left the strange lack of life in Colorado hanging without telling you if we discovered the source. It's been a while since I've posted twice in a day, but after reading some of the messages I've received about this and talking with the team, I feel an additional post is called for.
The answer to the mystery is as simple as it is awful. Before I tell you, understand that the reluctance I've had to revisit this topic is for two reasons. The first is that I didn't want to horrify anyone more than the present conditions of the world already do. The second will become clear in a moment.
We searched in a very wide circle for several hours. We finally began to see signs of life about two miles from the mall, but nothing larger than a chipmunk for another mile after that. Something had killed everything there, utterly and completely, and it had been catastrophic enough that the rest of the creatures nearby were still afraid to return.
The source was at the mall: what appeared to be military hardware for dispersing chemical and biological weapons. We found many canisters, all empty. Some were in the mall itself, others in the backs of vehicles. Army vehicles. There were signs that the gases had been driven around while dispersing, probably to cover a greater area.
We found men and women in Army uniforms among the many dried and rotten corpses. I don't know if this was a military action, or the act of rogue troops who went crazy during The Fall, or if the military was trying to kill the zombies alone, or even if some civilians overpowered the soldiers and used the weapons instead. The bodies were little more than bones and gore long gone to rot, wrapped in barely recognizable clothes.
Too many possibilities from the evidence we found to say with any certainty what happened. The reason we kept quiet and ignored the matter on the blog was due to fear that there might be canisters of weapons there we couldn't locate, which would make powerful weapons for any group that had them. A liter of some neurotoxins I've read about could wipe out a population the size of New Haven in minutes.
So, when it became clear that people weren't going to leave this alone (which is my fault for posting about it in the first place) we asked some people we've been in contact with and trust implicitly to head up to the mall and clean up. To be blunt, the place isn't there anymore. Not in any meaningful way.
I have no desire to sow distrust of anyone. Not survivors, not the scattered military around the nation. I didn't want to ruin anyone's Christmas with this, but it had to be said at some point, and I see no reason to make anyone reading this blog curious enough about Colorado to go looking. Especially since now all you'd find in that location is a smoking ruin and cars on fire.
Weapons of mass destruction should be left in the past right along with all the other horrible things we lost in The Fall. Consider this matter closed, because I am. Also, if you're looking to acquire those kinds of weapons, consider this a warning.

Authorizations can be difficult to obtain once you have completed the visit.

Please note that billing practices for services provided by Boston Maternal Fetal Medicine at one location (e.g. One Brookline Place) may be different from other locations, even if you are seeing the same physician or having the same visit type.

In undertaking the research for his treatise on palmistry, the Chirophysiognomia (written perhaps between 1599 and 1608), Neapolitan polymath Giovan Battista Della Porta (1535–1617) collected plaster casts and drawings of the hands and feet of executed criminals whose corpses were displayed as signs of terror to foreigners. These corpses were deliberately left to rot at the gallows of the Ponte Riccardo, in an eerie place just off the city limits of Naples. This article contextualises Della Porta’s collecting activities as part of a set of contemporary discourses on place in Naples. It uses two prototypical contemporary maps of Naples by Lafréri and Du Perac (1566) and Baratta (1629), to trace the itineraries of convicts (and their remains) through specific places. In particular, this article discusses the heterotopia of the gallows out of town – its location and architectonic structure, and the fact that this place was not represented on contemporary maps. Indeed, the gallows at this bridge had a long-lasting impact on the imagination of Neapolitans and foreigners (as can be reconstructed not only from Della Porta, but also from two novellas written by Masuccio Salernitano (1471) and Maria de Zayas (1637)). Moreover, this article argues that that Della Porta’s method of translating (infamous) corpses into text is related to the ways in which the city of Naples was translated into a text in contemporary guides to the city, for instance by Pietro di Stefano (1560).
Sergius Kodera is Dean of the Faculty of Design at New Design University, St. Pölten (Austria). His primary fields of interest are the history of the body and sexuality, magic and print media. He has published on and translated works of renaissance authors, including Marsilio Ficino, Fernando de Rojas, Niccolò Machiavelli, Leone Ebreo, Girolamo Cardano, Giovan Battista Della Porta and Giordano Bruno. He is writing a book-length study in English on Della Porta.

THE PROBLEM: Over the past few years, we have had to replace an ever increasing number of faulty and damaged garden tools supplied by some very well known manufactures. Spades, trowels and forks being the most commonly replaced.
THE CAUSE: Poor Quality. These tools originate from the Far East and are sold on COST, not QUALITY. The manufacturers expect to receive a number of faulty ones returned and simply tell us to replace them. Experience tells us, that this approach is not inspiring you the purchaser or us, the retailer with their brands.
THE SOLUTION: Simple. We have decided to sell only the tools that we have total confidence in. Some may cost a little more to buy but, we feel that the better quality will be worth paying a little more for.
WE RECOMMEND: BURGON & BALL, C K TOOLS AND BULLDOG.
We are able to obtain tools from other manufacturers if required, but as you have probably gathered from the above statement, we may not recommend them!

With Summer 2013 in our past, we all wonder why the new Boardwalk ride, Undertow, was never opened as promised. Undertow, the newest addition to the Boardwalk, is the only spinning steel roller coaster in Northern California, and is manufactured by the German company, Maurer Söhne. It is the replacement for Hurricane, a 20 year old coaster that saw it’s closing run last Labor Day. Hurricane was sold to Western Playland Amusement Park in New Mexico and was listed at $500,000.
Part of the reason for Undertow’s late unveiling is problems with European import as well as a pending “state mandated inspection process”. The exact opening date of the $5.5 million roller coaster is still in question, but will probably be in the near future, as the coaster is fully assembled and tests are being performed.
The wait is well worth it, because Undertow reaches speeds of up to 40 mph, has heights of up to 50 ft., and is 1410 ft. long, according to the Boardwalk. “It’s a really fun ride. Not only does it go up, down, and around, but you spin while you’re doing it,” said Kris Reyes, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk spokesman (via Central Coast News KION 46). The Boardwalk has promised that each ride will be different every time you ride it, depending on the rider’s various positions and weights.
If you’re tired of the same old rides at the Boardwalk, then be sure to check out the new ride, Undertow. For more information, check out videos and facts at http:// http://www.beachboardwalk.com/undertow/.

Where is the CSP 1.6.4 English UPDATE SmithMicro is describing in this English Press Release ???
SmithMicro's running a SALE on their Tutorials today including the one Tutorial I'm most interested in on CSP's new Animation features but I can't tell if it pertains to the version CSP 1.6.2 I'm still running ~ or if the Tutorial is any different from the free Doug Hills Webinar with similar screenshots in which he freely admits he doesn't really understand all the various animation features "yet" ~ yikes!
There's one notably different screenshot displaying an "Animation Pen" in the Tool Palette which I've been unable to find anywhere else.
Has anyone seen/heard of that tool or checked out the Tutorial?
Do they look like the same Tutorial to everybody else, too or can someone who has seen both versions confirm?

At the first day with incredible good weather I skipped the catamaran course and decided to pay Mount Baldo a visit instead.
I went with the lads to Malcesine and we took the cable car to the top.
The top most station was in 1,760 meters height.
We had an incredibly good view on Lake Garda.
And also into the valleys at the other side.
The fresh-fallen snow from the other day had to be removed just enough to make it possible to walk on the mountaintop nearby the station.
It was a long walk to the look-out to the north with a view on the Dolomite Alps.
we saw the north shore of the lake where Riva and Torgelo are located at.

In the midst of a difficult adolescence, young teen Tomas has developed a relentless obsession with the moon. He shirks his studies in favour of pouring over astronomical textbooks and staring out the window through his telescope, wishfully planning an escape from his painful reality. Triggered by his unrequited love for a neighbour he spies through his telescope, as well as school pressures, a chaotic family and his ongoing struggle with early childhood trauma, Tomas begins to meticulously plan a trip to the moon; his one source of stability.
This screening is followed by a Q&A with director Joaquín Cambre, hosted by Professor Maria Delgado.

"What do you think of THAT, LA?"
If you've been to see Taylor Swift's 1989 Tour, you'll know that it's completely and utterly amazing - Taylor really knows her way around a song, right!? We can remember totally getting our lives during "New Romantics", and crying during the "Wildest Dreams/Enchanted" medley.
If you been to the tour you'll also be aware of the CRAZY cameos that make an appearance throughout the show, whether it's on the big screens during the interlude, Taylor's musical guests or the singer's 'girl squad' that she rolls out during "Style" (seemingly for no reason)?
This latter moment in the tour seemed odd to us, and has only gotten weirder as the show has progressed. In fact, over the weekend Tay-Tay brought out Julia Roberts (!?) and Joan Baez (like, do you guys even know who that is?!).
So, when we saw this video this morning of comedian and author Lara Marie Schoenhals spoofing the totally random 1989 tour cameos we were CRYING with laughter.
Schoehals lists everyone from Hilary Clinton to the Blair Witch as guests, with the suggestions getting more and more outlandish by the second. Likewise, she totally gets Taylor's mannerisms. We love you Taylor, but this is hella funny.
Watch Lara Marie Schoenhals h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s Taylor Swift spoof below and be sure to follow her on Twitter for more LOLZ.

Dota is hard. It demands moment to moment skill, collective coordination, and a vast amount of learning. Despite being the most popular game on Steam by an order of magnitude, it’s an acquired taste—and one that, despite years of listening to Chris drone on about it, the rest of the PC Gamer team has yet to acquire. Over the course of a week, we set out to see if that might be changed.
In the first case, our goal was to determine just how difficult Dota 2 really is to pick up. Is it possible for newcomers to have fun straight away, or will those first hours always be punishing? What can more experienced players do to lower the barrier to entry, and how do you best go about matching characters and roles to players with a diverse gaming background? How do you introduce Dota as an action game, a strategy game, a sport and a social experience all at once?
More to the point: why make the effort? For some of the team, gaining a new hobby was not incentive enough to pour hours into the game. We needed a goal—something to fight for. We found one. Concurrent with our own efforts, our longtime friends, rivals and (in several cases) former colleagues at Rock, Paper, Shotgun began training their own Dota novices. The stage was set for a showdown that would pitch veteran against veteran, newbie against newbie. We really, really wanted to win.
That meant training. With Chris as our guide, we set about getting our hands on the bottom rung of Dota 2’s daunting ladder. Over the following pages you’ll discover what sunk in, what didn’t, and how we fared when exposed to public matchmaking. Spoilers: Dota is hard.

Nashvillians Charles Castner and William Knott founded the Castner-Knott Dry Goods Company in 1898. Their 1906 move to a new five-story building at the corner of 7th Avenue and Church Street led the westward commercial expansion onto formerly residential property. This Classical Revival-style building at 618 Church Street lured shoppers with 10 by 12 foot plate glass windows, a covered carriage entrance, and coffered ceilings. In 1911, Castner-Knott expanded the store to include the Armstrong Building, an Italianate building fronting on Church Street and Capitol Boulevard. During a 1958-1959 renovation directed by the Nashville firm of Marr and Holman, all levels of the two buildings were connected, the storefront windows were covered in polished granite panels, a corner entry was added at Church Street and Capitol Boulevard, and the first floor interiors were redesigned with Art Moderne details. A 1999 renovation uncovered many of the building’s historic details, including the original façade which had been covered by modern steel panels in 1979.

Before May 7, 1997, the only way you could avoid paying taxes on the profit you made from selling your home was to use that money to buy another, more expensive house within two years. After that date, due to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, that is no longer the case. Also, the money does not need to be reinvested in real estate. You can use it to travel or to satisfy any need.
You must have lived in the home as your principal residence for two out of the last five years.
You must not have sold or exchanged another home during the two years preceding the sale.
Or you must meet what the IRS calls “unforeseen circumstances,” such as job loss, divorce, or family medical emergency.
You need to start with the purchase price (this is the sale price, not the amount of money you paid at closing).
Then you need to have the amount spent on total adjustments. To determine this, add the cost of the purchase such as transfer fees, attorney fees, and cost of inspections. To this number, add the cost of the sale (including inspections, attorney fees, real estate commissions and money spent to fix up the home just prior to the sale).
Adding the total purchase price and the adjustments give you the adjusted cost basis of your home. Once you subtract this number from the amount the home sold for, you get your capital gain.
One way to avoid paying capital gains is through Section 1031 of the United States Internal Revenue Code. However, to qualify for this exemption, the properties exchanged must be held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment (Personal use property will not qualify for Section 1031). The seller of the old property and the buyer of the new one must be the same, and the purchase price must be at least the same or greater than that of the property sold. Furthermore, the new property must be identified within 45 days and the purchase completed within 180 days of the sale to qualify.
As always, talk to your tax or financial advisor before selling your home to learn more about how capital gains could affect you personally.

Rudnik mountain, which dominates the Šumadija region, is located 100 km south of Belgrade. Rudnik mountain is easily accessed by road and owing to its superb climatic conditions, Rudnik has been designated a “climatic spa”. Besides the highest peak called Cvijićev Vrh (1132 m), Molitve, Srendnji Šturac and Mali Šturac, all standing at over 1000 m above sea-level, deserve special mention.

When the Wren appears before you, it is there for a reason. The Wren is an inspirer, it will inspire you to realise dreams. This bird is frequently heard but seldom seen, you may of heard it and failed to get the message and so it appears before you, to inspire and motivate you into making your thoughts a reality. It takes just a day to build it's nest and will attach it to the bark on the enchanted side of the tree, it will get the sun in the evening and will absorb the heat for the cooler nights.
The Wren will come to you to guide you through the dark time. It has the ability to pick its own route through the brambles. It knows when to be heard and when to be seen, it has old worldly knowledge of destiny and past life. It is heard by people choosing to listen but is only seen by people that it allows to see.
People that do see are people light by nature and light of heart, material things mean nothing, as do emotional dramatics, hystrionics and emotional entanglements. As day turns to night, the wren will ponder, reflect, settle for the night using the sunset to prepare for sleep, meditate and bring the next day to fruition, what has happened is in the past, what will happen is going to happen anyway. Now is the time to enjoy the heat of the sunset and sleep, to dream and manifest reality.
To be able to stand out of view, yet be involved, to be heard and not noticed, acknowledged but not idolised, this skillset is afforded to the few.The light hearted, easy, inspiring energy of the wren changes situations, the smallest resident bird in the UK is seen by few but has influenced so many.

The best way to make children behave properly would be to remind them about Santa Claus and Christmas. After all, only the good ones get the presents right? If they still wouldn't listen, here is a list of mythical creatures visiting this Christmas to change their mind. And not all of them plan on giving gifts.
Let us start this list with a nice guy. Olentzero is a character from the Basque Country legend. He is the equivalent of Santa Claus. The word Olentzero literally means "time of the good ones". It is said that on the night of the 24th of December Olentzero visits the houses of the people to drop off presents for children. Legend has it that Olentzero was one of the Jentillak, a mythological race of Basque giants.
One day there was a very bright cloud in the sky and no one could see it except Olentzero who was very old and nearly blind. He confirmed that to be the sign of the birth of Jesus Christ and so he asked the giants to throw him off the cliff to avoid Christianisation. However, the giants tripped and fell and Olentzero was the only one left alive and embraced Christianity.
The Mari Lwyd is a folk tale from South Wales. According to tradition, the Mari Lwyd consists of a horse's skull mounted on a pole carried by an individual hidden under a sackcloth. This custom is observed to mark the passing of the darkest days of winter. This is the reason why it overlaps with the celebration of Christmas.
The Mari Lwyd party usually consists of four to seven men with colored ribbons attached to their dress. The party would approach a house singing a song to request entry. The inhabitants of the house would then give some excuse as to why they cant enter which would be followed by another song till they run out of excuses. Once inside the Mari Lwyd would then cause havoc and scare the children inside while the party would try to restrain it.
Befana is part of an Italian folklore. She is an old woman who delivers gifts to Children on Epiphany Eve which is on January 5th. Befana is portrayed as a hag riding a broomstick wearing a black shawl. She visits each house and leaves candy and fruits for good children while leaving coal, onions or garlic for the bad ones.
According to Christian legend Befana was approached by the three biblical magi who were in search of Jesus. She did not know where he was but provided them shelter for the night. She, however, refused there offer to join them in their search for Jesus. She later had a change of heart and searched for baby Jesus but never found him until this day. She continues to search for him and leaves gifts for children who are well behaved.
Perchta, also known as Berchta was once a pagan goddess. Her name means "the bright one". She may appear in the form of a beautiful woman who is as white as snow or an old hag with tattered and torn clothes. She also has one large foot which signifies that she could shapeshift into any animal. Perchta is the upholder of cultural taboos.
During the time between Christmas and Epiphany, she roams the countryside to enter homes. If the children are well behaved she leaves a small silver coin in a shoe. Seems good right? No. If the children had not behaved properly that year she would slit their bellies and remove their stomach and guts. Then she would stuff them with straw and pebbles! This should be enough motivation to be good.
Grýla is a mythical giant who lives in the mountains of Iceland. Grýla is said to have been married three times and her third husband is living with her in their cave with their children and the Yule Cat. In many stories, she is depicted as threatening children and even her name means "threat" or "threatening".
She has the ability to detect children who misbehaved year-round. During the time of Christmas, she goes to nearby towns in search of her "meal". Her favorite snack is children. She leaves her cave to search for naughty children and it is said that there is never a shortage of food for her. Oh, and her favorite dish is a stew made of naughty children.
The Yule lads are the children of Gryla. There are a total of 13 Yule Lads. They are the depiction of Santa Claus in Icelandic folklore. They visit the houses of children on Christmas to leave give rewards or punishments to them based on their behavior. One Yuletide lad visits each child and leaves gifts or rotting potatoes according to their behavior.
The Yuletide lads are portrayed as a mischevious or criminal who steal or otherwise harass the population. The Yuletide lads come to town on the last 13 nights before Christmas. Each Yuletide lad is said to have a specific idiosyncrasy and will behave in that specific manner.
The Yule cat is said to be the pet of the giantess Grýla and her children the 13 Yule Lads. The Yule cat is a huge and vicious cat that roams the snowy countryside during Christmas. It is said to devour children who have not received any new clothes on Christmas Eve.
This threat of being eaten by the cat was used by farmers as an incentive for their workers to finish processing the wool before Christmas. Those who helped will be provided with clothes whereas the others would not be rewarded allowing them to be devoured by the Yule Cat. Another interpretation states that the cat does not kill them but eats all their food instead.
Belsnickel is a fur covered Christmas gift-bringer from the folklore of the Palatinate region of southwestern Germany. He is depicted as a man covered in fur and with a long tongue. He wears dirty torn clothes and carries a whip in his hand to beat naughty children. He also carries pocketsful of cakes, candies, and nuts for good children.
Krampus is a horned creature which is half-goat and half-demon. He is said to be a companion of Belsnickel or Santa in respective cultures. Unlike Santa who rewards good children, the Krampus is tasked with punishing bad children. He is said to be hairy with fangs and a long pointy tongue. He carries a basket for carrying evil children for drowning, eating or transporting to hell itself!
Hans Trapp is a legendary character from the Alsace and Lorraine region of France. He is said to be an accomplice of Santa Claus. Similar to the Krampus, the role of Hans is to punish naughty children at Christmas. The words, "Hans Trapp is coming" sends shivers down the spine of children in France. Everyone knows the tale of Santa's evil accomplice.
According to legend, during the fifteenth century, there was a wealthy man called Hans Trapp who lived in Alsace. The people of the region knew that he was cunning, cruel and heartless. It is said that he worshipped Satan and using black magic to obtain his wealth. He was arrested by the church and his wealth was confiscated. As he wandered in solitude he was overcome with anger. He started to lose his mind and craved for human flesh. He killed a young shepherd boy and as he was about to consume his flesh he was struck by lightning and he died.
Père Fouettard is also said to be an accomplice of Santa Claus. This tale is from the far north and eastern regions of France. He is said to give lumps of coal or floggings to children who misbehaved. The "Whipping Father" is said to have a sinister face with unkempt hair and carrying a whip or stick to beat children.
Legend has it that Le Père Fouettard was an innkeeper who captured three boys who appeared to be wealthy. He then kills and robs them. It is said that he drugs them, slits their throat, cuts them into pieces and stews them. Santa Claus came to know about this and resurrects them. Père Fouettard then joins Santa as his accomplice to atone for his sin.
We have all heard about Werewolves. A Werewolf is a legendary human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf. Werewolves are also related to Christmas in many ways. It is widely believed as the hour of Christmas drew near, the forces of evil also raged more. In Prussia, Livonia, and Lithuania it is believed that Werewolves gather around Christmas to attack human settlements.
In Latvia and Estonia, it is believed that a Christmas boy lame of legs goes around recruiting demon followers. Those who join reluctantly are then turned into Werewolves using an iron whip. In Poland and northeastern Europe if a child is born on Christmas day then he is more likely to become a Werewolf. This is because it is said to be audacious to have the same birthday as that of Jesus Christ.
Knecht Ruprecht is a companion of Santa in German folklore. He was supposed to be the most familiar accomplice of Santa in Germany. Following the good cop- bad cop routine again, Knecht Ruprecht would threaten to thrash or abduct naughty children on Christmas.
Ruprecht was a raised from his childhood by Santa. He wears a black and brown robe with a pointed hood. He limps when he walks due to a childhood injury. He carries a long staff and bag of ashes. During Christmas, he goes around asking the children if they can pray. If they say yes then he gives them apples, nuts, and gingerbread. If they say no he hits them with his bag of ashes.
It's the countdown to Christmas, so discover a new festive character every day with this list of Christmas creatures, from Rudolph to Krampus.
Is It Good or Bad to Tell Children That Santa Claus Is a Myth?

San Francisco, CA - May 13, 2008 - Catholic Healthcare West (CHW), the nation's eighth largest hospital system, today announced that President/CEO Lloyd H. Dean has been recognized as one of the nation's top twenty-five minority healthcare executives by Modern Healthcare magazine.
"This recognition is a very personal honor for me," says Mr. Dean. "I grew up in a time when many doors to leadership were closed to minorities. I hope today that awards such as this serve as a source of inspiration to others that with perseverance, hard work and a deep belief in yourself, anything is possible."
This marks the second time Mr. Dean has received the recognition, which was instituted by Modern Healthcare in 2006 and is given biennially. Criteria for the nomination process include: successfully serving as a leader or managing an organization or company; having shown the ability or power to effect change in the healthcare industry; demonstrating a willingness to share expertise with others in the field; serving as a role model or mentor to other minority healthcare executives and assuming a leadership position in the industry outside of the candidate's own organization or company.
He is widely recognized as a leader who is deeply passionate about advocating for the poor and underserved and for his extensive leadership at the local, state and national levels, including his ongoing work towards healthcare reform. In February, Mr. Dean led the CHW Healthcare Leadership Summit, a think-tank discussion with twenty top executives from leading national healthcare organizations, on the question of how to ensure that compassion remains a fundamental element of any national health reform policy discussion.

In the age of cord-cutting, an entirely predictable thing has happened to TiVo’s consumer business.
From 2017 to 2018, TiVo has lost about five percent of its cable-DVR subscriber base, roughly in line with the overall decline of cable TV subscriptions. During the same period, however, TiVo’s over-the-air DVR subscriber base has grown by 10%. That’s been boosted by products like the TiVo Bolt OTA, which can record broadcast channels from an antenna.
Although TiVo has largely become a licensor of software and patents since being acquired by Rovi in 2016, TiVo’s vice president of consumer products and services Ted Malone said that the company remains committed to the consumer business. To that end, the company is working on several new features, including apps for Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, and Android TV that can access a TiVo box remotely. He also hinted at a potential live TV streaming service and Android-based consumer hardware.
TiVo’s streaming apps for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV will let you watch on other televisions without extra TiVo Mini hardware.
In a demo, the streaming apps looked similar to the menu system on TiVo’s own hardware, but they do have one notable limitation: Video streams will be limited to 720p resolution at 30 frames per second. That means you won’t get the smooth motion of 60-fps video for sports, news, and talk programming, nor will you be able to watch broadcasts in their native MPEG-2 format.
“Even with Roku and Apple and Fire TV, the Mini still is a better multi-room solution if you want the same remote, the same performance, the same video quality,” Malone said.
My major complaint with TiVo in recent years is that its app selection is far behind dedicated streaming devices, such as Roku and Fire TV. While TiVo offers several popular apps—including Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Go—it’s missing lots of others, such as Showtime, Starz, Sling TV, Philo, PBS Kids, Crackle, Pluto, and NBA TV. To access those services, you need a separate streaming device, which means you’ll constantly be switching inputs and remotes.
One way to solve that problem might be to migrate the TiVo software over to another platform, like Android TV, which has a much larger selection of streaming apps. In fact, TiVo already offers Android TV-based hardware to cable providers.
Malone said TiVo has recently started considering an Android TV device for consumers, but it’s unclear what exactly that product would be.
One of the more innovative features TiVo demoed at CES earlier this month didn’t involve any new hardware or new apps: An upcoming feature called “Smart Extend” will automatically record sporting events until they’re over, even accounting for overtime or extra innings.
Unfortunately, Smart Extend won’t work for programs that appear after a sporting event, so a major gripe with all DVRs—that shows get clipped when sporting events run long—will remain unaddressed for now. Still, Malone said he’d been asked about that issue several times during CES, so perhaps the company will figure out a solution before long.
The tie-in with Thuuz could also enable some other interesting DVR features. Malone pointed out that Thuuz gives every game an “excitement” score of up to 100, based on factors such as player statistics, injuries, and the actual game score. In the future, he said, TiVo might let users avoid recording games that don’t reach a certain excitement threshold.
“Maybe you like baseball, but you don’t want to watch 160 games a year. You could just say, ‘Record my favorite teams when they’re in a game that starts getting exciting,’” Malone said.

By Senator Kathleen Vinehout Our state spends a great deal of money on economic development. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is responsible for overseeing much of the taxpayer money that goes to job creation. A recently released audit by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau (LAB) found that “WEDC cannot be certain about the number of jobs actually created or retained as a result of any awards that ended.” By law, WEDC is required to report jobs created or retained. The agency meets the requirement through reports posted on its website. However, auditors found these data inaccurate. “We found that the on-line data in January of 2017 included 183 jobs created and 1,082 jobs retained by recipients that had sold their operations in Wisconsin, ceased their operations in Wisconsin, or had withdrawn from their contracts before the contractually specified completion dates. For example, WEDC claimed credit for retaining 340 jobs for a company that ceased operations in Wisconsin; claimed credit for creating 68 jobs for another company that sold its operations in Wisconsin; and claimed 485 jobs retained for a third company that withdrew from its contract years before it was to deliver the created and retained jobs. In addition, auditors found WEDC double counted jobs created and retained. For example, one company received awards in both June 2012 and September 2012 for the same 305 jobs created and 284 jobs retained. Another company signed two different contracts in July of 2011 but the company claimed they would retain the same 110 jobs for both awards. Auditors also looked at 192 contract awards made since July 2011 through the end of September 2016. Presumably, at the end of a contract one would know if the promised results were achieved. Upon review of the 192 awards, LAB found only 12.5% (24) even had an expected result of job creation or retention.Of those 24 with expected results, three of the contracts did not actually require the company to create or retain jobs; 13 contracts ended before their completion date (meaning the requirements were not fulfilled). Of the eight contracts completed, WEDC did not collect sufficient information to verify that promised jobs were created. Without accurate information about WEDC program results, lawmakers and taxpayers cannot know if the investment in job creation and retention was money well spent. WEDC authorized hundreds of millions in tax credits, grants and loans since its 2011 inception. The most recent audit is the third report that raises ongoing concerns about the lack of independent verification of jobs created or retained. Some WEDC problems were corrected, such as establishing accounting policies and procedures for the agency (the lack of which was a finding in 2013). But other problems identified in prior audits continue. For example, in 2015 auditors found WEDC kept a reserve of state money larger than necessary. In the most recent audit, auditors found WEDC’s cash and investment reserves more than doubled over four years. Prior problems with administering its loan program caused legislators to phase out any further loan activity by WEDC. In this most recent audit, the potentially uncollectable loan balance nearly tripled and auditors found a substantial rise in the loan delinquency rate. Just days before the release of the audit, the Legislature’s budget writing committee voted, along partisan lines, to restart WEDC’s troubled loan program. The committee also voted along partisan lines to increase state taxpayer dollars going to WEDC. Both of these actions should be stopped. For nearly six years, Wisconsinites asked whether WEDC lived up to the promises made at its inception. The Legislative Audit Bureau continues to tell us that WEDC does not collect adequate information to provide lawmakers and citizens with accurate information on whether promises of job creation and retention were delivered Most of WEDC’s money is state taxpayer dollars, a precious resource that is used to fund many other programs. A dollar spent on unverified job creation/retention programs means a dollar is not available for critical investments like transportation infrastructure, public schools or local government. It is time for all of us to demand that the Governor and the WEDC Board step up and correct the ongoing problems documented in three separate audits of WEDC over the last six years. Job creation is important, but so is the most effective and efficient investment of state taxpayer dollars.

I came to know Christ in middle school. Through the message of the Gospel, I learned that Jesus’ death on the cross gave me access to a life of unmerited grace, and even when I wasn’t perfect, God accepted me. I realized that Jesus was the only one worthy of all of my hope, and I began striving to follow Him daily.
After graduating from high school, I went against the Aggie family tradition, and enrolled at a local bible college. I wasn’t quite sure where the path would lead me, but I knew I was interested in becoming more equipped in God’s word and would just have to see where He would take me next. I started attending Watermark my senior year of college, and within weeks of walking through the doors, I was connected in community, and passionately serving. I was known – and I embraced it.
Life after college was confusing. I had a degree in Biblical Studies from Criswell Bible College, but I struggled to figure out what to do with it. Unsure of where to focus my time, I kept walking, trusting that He was leading me. The sweetness of the Lord is that, all along, He had this season in place for me. Today, you can find me working in the Frontlines Ministry and managing the Watermark Coffee Shop. It is mind blowing and so exciting that my job combines my passions of serving Christ, welcoming and connecting others and—of course—coffee!
Speaking of passions, I love to: hammock, laugh really loud, eat dinner on any patio, take road trips, indulge in Mexican food, travel overseas, and explore different sno cone flavors. I love the way the Lord shows His goodness through nature, a good cup of coffee, deep conversations, and listening to the rain. My favorite way to enjoy these things is to do them with the friends and family with whom I get to live this rich life.
If you see me around, say hello -- I would love nothing more than to get to know you!

This week we follow Tabitha and Hoy as they work in the mine on Level Three. To read from the beginning, go here. I imagine Hoy would be played by a youngish Jackie Chan.
As Hoy and Tabitha prepared to go down the shaft to Level Three, Hoy kept up a running commentary of advice.
Arwel Hughes, the miner they were with, grabbed one of the maintenance robots in one hand and stepped over the edge. The other machines were fixed to the hoist and sent down. Tabitha was grateful that Hoy opted for using the rungs as a ladder. She followed him down, praying that she wouldn't make a fool of herself on her first mission. Despite there being fans drawing the air through filters, the dust hung in the air, reducing visibility.
The trip down the shaft only took a few minutes, but Tabitha worried Hoy would be angry with her as she had to take it slowly. He did seem rather agitated, and breathed deeply through his mask. Despite the filter he still managed to draw dust in, which made him cough. With every cough from Hoy, Tabitha felt her own stomach clench, her palms sweat. She felt as if the shaft got narrower as it dropped, she feared they would get stuck any minute. This only passed when they reached the bottom and there was room to move. When they entered Level Three visibility improved and Tabitha stopped and gasped.
Tabitha ducked her head to hide her red face. Hughes led them down the tunnel to the cave-in.
Tabitha thought she and Hoy made a strange looking pair, but with his guidance and her strength they were able to accomplish a lot. She was puzzled why Hoy kept talking all the time, while they shifted rubble and put in shoring posts, but just assumed he was being helpful to her, and was grateful.
As they worked, Tabitha was amazed at Hoy’s size and his elegance. He was only a little taller than her, but much less broad. Yet he was strong, quick in his movements, and graceful in the low gravity. They discovered that the end of the slab was unsupported. Tabitha suggested they use a lifter underneath to try to raise the slab a little, but Hughes wouldn’t allow it.
Hoy looked at the spare roof supports.
Hughes nodded. He took his hand cutter from his belt and cut one to size.
Someone had to wriggle under the slab to put the support in position. Hughes looked at Hoy, the smallest of the three. There was a moment’s hesitation, then Hoy sighed and took the support. Once the supports were in place and cranked up, they packed the rubble around them. It didn’t take long. When Hughes was satisfied, they reported to Holland, who ordered them back to the Kestrel for a break.

In South Africa online scratch cards (scratchies) are a fad and continue to be one of the most popular casino games. The themes run into the thousands and never fail to entertain. Some have the user interface of video games and bring a fresh modern look when it comes to sophistication and graphics. Here you will find out how to play scratchies and have a sneak peak at our recommended list of top scratch card online sites for South African players.
Scratch cards are pure luck, however there are best practices which can keep you ahead of the game!
Always use recommended scratch card sites (Check our handpicked list regularly).
Before spending any Rand, play the scratch card demo mode to get a feel for the game.

Read the details on the paytable. Review the winning combinations, their payouts, and bonus features.
Bet small to start, so you get a feel for the game.
Take advantage of the bonuses on sign up. Many casinos offer bonuses when making a first deposit.
Lotto Madness is on top of the list in terms of popularity at Playtech’s scratch card games. Here you play as many as three cards at once. Some feel this needs a lot of focus, but multi-card play can be more interesting and exciting. Each card has a three by three grid. Also, there are five balls which roll across the top of the screen, similar to T.V lottery. When the numbers on your scratch card match the rolled balls, you win. The more you play, the more you can win.
King Kong Scratch: If you liked King Kong the movie, you will go bananas over this scratch card game. It only has six squares, but it doesn’t bother us. This game is much simpler than the movie, but is engaging and ticks all our excitment boxes!
Anyone of legal age in South Africa can play. All you need to do is pick a card, then click or rub your mouse on the card to show the numbers or symbols. Is really very simple, the more a card costs, the better the prize is. Also, the more cards you purchase, the bigger win potential you have.
The odds of winning with online scratch cards are higher than physical scratch cards. This is because with phisycal scratchies, winning and losing cards are printed and fixed. It is balck or white.

Click plus or minus buttons to adjust the coin amount and place your bet.
Click “New Card” to reveal the image of your selected scratch card.
Your mouse can hover over the card, click to show one symbol at a time. You may be able to reveal all symbols at once if you are short on time.
Once the whole card is scratched, the amount you have won will be displayed. Typically, three or more of the same symbol wins. In addition, there may also be bonuses to grab!
At the end of the day, whichever scratch card game you decide to play, you will have excitement.

Model Maddy’s more in love than ever!
In this Woman's Day exclusive, we catch up with model Madeline Stuart as she celebrates two years with her boyfriend!
Robbie Streeting admits he had a secret crush on Madeline Stuart, Australia's famous model with Down syndrome, since they met at a Special Olympics event in 2011.
With the blessing of both sets of parents, the couple embarked on an old-fashioned relationship – enjoying their first date two years ago on Valentine’s Day, holding hands and slurping soft drinks at Queensland’s popular theme park Dreamworld.
This year, the couple headed back to where it all began.
Robbie and Maddy plan on marrying down the track.
“It’s a special place for us with wonderful memories of laughing and giggling – so I decided to surprise Maddy with a visit for our anniversary!” beams Robbie, 20, who has an intellectual disability.
Robbie admits he was worried when 19-year-old Maddy’s catwalk career went global at last year’s New York Fashion Week. But these days he has nothing to worry about.
“She’s still the Maddy I know and love – and completely independent. I love telling my friends my girlfriend is a world-famous supermodel!” he says.
Right now, Maddy has kicked off another year on the catwalk with a second appearance at this year’s New York Fashion Week.
Meanwhile, Robbie has his sights set on saving up to buy his beloved the ring of her dreams.
“Maddy is the one and only girl for me – I’ll wait until she turns 25 and then I’ll propose.
Maddy has taken the modelling world by storm!

Imagine visiting an off the beaten path place in Central America, hiking up a volcano with a Pacific ocean view of 3 countries and arriving at the top to see a huge green crater lake. Sounds too good to be true? Welcome to Volcan Cosigüina in Potosi, Nicaragua.
We arrived in Nicaragua from El Salvador crossing the Gulf of Fonseca by boat. And Potosi was our first stop during backpacking Nicaragua. It is a small village on the very far north-west corner of Nicaragua, which tourists don’t usually visit but only pass through for the boat transfer to El Salvador.
The only thing you can do here is hike a volcano. Not just any ordinary volcano – when it erupted in 1835, it was heard 300km away and caused the most violent volcanic eruption in Nicaragua’s history. Large chunks of the crater were blown away forming small islands in the Gulf of Fonseca and Cosiguina volcano was left with a crater lake. Of course, we wanted to see this lesser-known natural wonder.
We’ve visited almost all countries of Central America but Potosi in Nicaragua must be the hottest village there is. The ocean was so hot we didn’t feel like going for a swim and the high humidity makes you sweat in every step you make. It felt like hell even for Central America where hot weather and sweating all day is normal.
Given the size of the village, there are two hotels which belong to the same family. When coming from the immigration office, they are easy to find since there is just one paved road forming the main street. We stayed in Hotel Brisas del Mar and took a full advantage of the cold shower and hammocks in the restaurant.
The hike to the crater lake seemed like an easy one. And when the crew from our boat transfer from El Salvador confirmed, we decided to go without a guide.
We woke up at 6 am, we packed some snacks, water and headed towards the bus stop. Two friendly locals joined us asking where we are going. They were surprised we don’t have a guide and offered to show us the trail. We turned left at the bus stop passing a baseball field. Surprisingly, countries of Central America are football fans but Nicaragua is all about the baseball.
Walking on the dirt road with local Nicaraguans in their village was a very nice authentic experience. It’s not always easy to find that in Nicaragua because most of the places are full of tourists and backpackers. But not Potosi.
After 2,5 kilometers from the hotel, we saw a huge sign of Reserva Natural Volcan Cosiguina. There was a logo of European Union and we later learned they are helping to protect the natural resources in the area. Always nice to see western countries starting programs in developing countries to improve the life of locals.
We were given simple instructions: “Siempre ariba!” which means straight up. Luckily for us, the trail is well-trodden and continues through the shade of the jungle. Lizards were scurrying and many birds flying above us. Several locals were passing us on the horses carrying watermelons in giant bags. We were hoping to see one of the farmers on the field so we could buy a watermelon; the heat and humidity were unbearable. We’ve visited in October but locals told us the weather here is hot all year long.
The next 2 kilometers through the jungle were flat and afterward, it started to go slightly uphill. There are also many signs, either to show directions or inform us of the surrounding fauna and flora.
Halfway up the volcano, we already had a view over the Gulf of Fonseca. Despite the unbelievable heat, it was a very easy hike. The hardest part was the last half an hour to the rim of the crater lake. The landscape opened up; the sun was shining directly on us with no trees around to hide under. The hike took us 3,5 hours.
Once we came to the top I actually said: Wow! We were 872m high on top of Cosiguina volcano with a huge 2km diameter crater lake below us. Before the massive eruption in 1835, it was one of the tallest volcanos in Central America. From here, we could see El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua stretching over the Gulf of Fonseca.
We watched the gas bubbles in the crater lake at the same time we gazed at the Pacific ocean. Stunning view!
Our water supplies were quickly running out during the descent. We saw several lizards and spiders on the way. I guess the other wildlife including the macaws were hiding from the heat. When we reached the dirt road, a local man stopped his pick-up truck gesturing us to hop on.
He saved us half an hour of walking back to town where we could buy some water. Our progressing dehydration was cut off with ice cold drinks from the pub. We joined the crowd and watched the baseball game of the local team as only tourists in town.
Glad to made it back, I still remember the most refreshing shower of my life. We caught the last bus from Potosi at 3 pm and headed to Jiquilillo for surfing.
Are you thinking of visiting Potosi and hiking Cosiguina Volcano? You definitely should! Experiences like this, surrounded by locals and not just a herd of backpackers, are becoming rarer in any part of Central America.
The hotel can arrange a guide for 25USD (I think it’s more for larger groups). They can also arrange a ride to the trail, which will save you 5 km (roundtrip). You don’t need a guide for directions but consider the option, if you want to learn more about the wildlife or to support the local community. Because of the boat ride from El Salvador to Nicaragua, we had to cut our expenses and decided to go on our own.
There is a natural spring near the main road frequented by locals but seeing the piles of garbage around it, we decided to skip it.
Chicken bus from Potosi only goes to Chinandega (you can transfer to another one if you’re headed to Leon).
As of July 2017, the bus from Chinandega to Potosi goes 7 times a day, last one departing at 5:30 pm. As with everything in Central America, check for current information before you go.
Buses from Potosi to Chinandega go several times a day, the last one at 3:00 pm and cost 60NIO (2USD). You can catch it from the hotel which the bus passes. It honks many times when coming in the village, you can’t miss it.
If you’re heading to El Salvador, check Ruta del Golfo for boat crossings. The boat crosses the Gulf of Fonseca few times a week and needs to be booked in advance (there is no internet in Potosi).
Paid tours with travel agencies are available from Chinandega and Leon. I’m pretty sure you’ll be overpaying if you decide to choose this option.

A lot of people on this site are fans of Japanese culture- the art, the music, the fashion, the language, the comic books and television programs.
But in the neon and electronic world of modern Japan, serious social problems lie hidden beneath the surface, which, as a whole, threaten the dominant society, and, in some cases are exclusive to, or nearly excusive to, Japan.
Many fans of Japanese culture are completely unaware that such problems exist, although a few are mentioned occasionally in anime and manga that is distributed outside of Japan.

Have We Missed The Point Of The Paula Dean Debate?
Paula Deen has become more publicized despite the possible harm that her foods may have caused to millions of people. Many people are talking about the hamburger donuts, the fact that she withheld information about her diabetes and even that she receives money from pharmaceutical companies. Are we not missing the point?
Yes, she may be a celebrity chef but does that mean she controls what passes your lips? She might be role model, but when has the life of a celebrity truly been someone to look up to? She may have had the rag to riches theme behind her, but when money comes into the picture, stars commonly leave you behind.
Deen defended her decision to keep her diagnosis of diabetes secret in order to become educated on the condition. She was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2008. Yet another reason not to look to her as a role model; she’s a slow learner.
This is a doughnut burger... not fit for consumption.
Paula may be correct that the condition is not going to kill you tomorrow, but scientific research has concluded that you will cut years off at the end of life, you will die sooner. The other certainty is that you will be on medications and most likely have complications from long term, chronic type 2 diabetes.
1. Lose weight or ensure you are a healthy weight.
Eating poorly usually adds weight. If it doesn’t add weight, it doesn’t mean that you are any healthier. It is common for many of us to think that being skinny means that we are healthy, not necessarily.
2. Get moving, get active.
Any physical activity is going to help reduce your diabetes risk. Unfortunately, we commonly have more physical activity than our children. Our children have their recess times cut back, animated movies every other minute and video games being marketing to our 10 year olds between happy meal commercials. The largest toy manufacturer is now McDonalds; another great role model.
3. Cut and substitute the sugary liquids.
You can cut your risk of diabetes by replacing coffee, soda, fruit juices and other highly refined drinks with more water.
4. Choose healthier foods and control portion size.
Do you eat more fruit or vegetables? Many kinds of fruit contain high amounts of sugar in comparison to vegetables. Vegetables are a great way to fill you up quickly and they also provide an amazing source of fiber.
