The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri at 1601 Broadway Blvd and can be easily accessed by major highways or public transportation. The Kauffman Center KC Streetcar stop is located at 16th & Main.
Construction-related street closures are in effect at 16th and Wyandotte streets near the Kauffman Center. 16th Street is closed to traffic in both directions between Wyandotte and Baltimore streets. Wyandotte Street is closed in both directions between 14th and 16th streets. Please allow additional driving time to access the Arts District Garage and the Center.
An experience at the Kauffman Center begins the moment you arrive, with a convenient, well-lit parking garage, owned and operated by the City of Kansas City, Missouri. The garage is directly attached to the Kauffman Center just south of the building with multiple access points to surrounding streets.
Parking for performance events is $10 at the Arts District Garage. On non-event days, parking is free for the first 30 minutes and $3 for any duration beyond 30 minutes. Garage parking is also available at the Webster Garage located at 17th & Wyandotte. Please note that motorcycles are not allowed in the Arts District Garage due to safety reasons.
Additionally, valet parking service is available on most performance evenings for $20 ($18 in advance). Valet parking is available on the drop-off drive located on the south side of the building. Patrons may enter the drive via Broadway Blvd.
Pre-purchased parking is also available through our website or by calling the box office at 816.994.7222. Pre-purchased parking is available up to 24 hours in advance of most performances. The prepaid cost is $10 for the Arts District Parking Garage and $18 for valet service. Pre-purchasing parking guarantees a reserved spot in the garage, even if the garage sells out. Please note that if the garage is full patrons without a pre-paid pass will not be able to park in the Arts District Garage.
Audiences can enter the Kauffman Center underground, avoiding inclement weather. There will be ample sidewalks, and elevators to and from the parking garage. During good weather, guests can choose to stroll to the Center on top of the garage, through a landscaped green space. Parking is located across the street from a KCATA MAX stop and is within easy walking distance of many of the new residential developments in the Downtown and Crossroads Arts Districts. Parking in the Arts District Garage and the surrounding area is limited, and patrons are encouraged to arrive early and park early.
Through Kansas City’s One Percent for Art Program, a public art project is part of the garage’s design. The piece, Terpsichore for Kansas City embraces the notion that, in addition to the practicality of parking automobiles, a garage might also serve as an innovative and inspiring musical and visual instrument; an original, experiential device for the pleasure of people moving through the garage, particularly those going to and coming from performances at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.
When visitors exit their vehicles anywhere in the garage, they will hear unique music playing from the ceiling. As they pass through the garage toward one of the exits, or the main garage stairway, they’ll notice that the music is unique to the space – one of three original compositions created specifically for the garage by composers David Moulton, Kansas City’s Bobby Watson, and Roberta Vacca.
As visitors approach the center piece of the artwork – a four-story “light organ” situated in the central stair tower of the garage – they’ll see that the lights moving up and down inside the seven acrylic tubes is choreographed to the music. The artwork will provide enjoyment for passersby and an enjoyable and inspiring transition for those coming to or who have just enjoyed a performance a the Kauffman Center.
Terpsichore for Kansas City was created by the artist team of Mags Harries and Lajos Heder. They were selected through a national competition by a panel comprised of stakeholders, citizens, City staff, and arts professionals. | 2019-04-18T10:25:15 | https://www.kauffmancenter.org/the-center/directions-parking/ |

Since deployment, we have been capturing the minimum and maximum Realtime values for each channel when they have been uploaded by a groundstation. This has given us a good overview for the early operation and initial commisioning.
We have now moved into a steady state of operation and need to check for long-term trends. To achieve this, we have changed the min-max data collection such that it resets every 7 days and we capture the values each time it does so. At reset you will see the reference date change on the page and the min/max values converge. They will diverge again within an orbit.
We did think about a rolling 7 day period but that is quite a heavywieght process on the server as it has to be run each time we get an upload!
As always, many thanks to all those who are uploading data to the warehouse. | 2019-04-20T20:21:58 | https://funcube.org.uk/2014/02/12/funcube-data-warehouse-min-max-values/ |

Riverside Veterinary Clinic - Does Your Heartworm Prevention Last ALL Month? SOME DO NOT!!!
I am going to try to simplify things a bit, but first off, how long does the medication live in the blood stream? Your ORAL heartworm preventions only work for a few days (see references). Therefore, you have to think of them as a “dewormer” for heartworms. If you give them once a month, then you are killing the larvae (L3 and L4), before they have a chance to mature to the next phase (where they will NOT respond to the medication). The larvae (L3/L4) can mature in 45-65 days, so if you are 2-4 weeks late on your dose, there is a chance that you missed your window of prevention and some worms are in the next phase.
In the next phase, the larva is developing into an adult. This phase can take 4-5 months until it matures into an adult. During this time, your preventions can NOT kill them and we can NOT detect them with blood testing.
The American Heartworm Society recommends testing once a year. If you missed a dose, there is always a chance for a few larvae to mature into the next phase. There is always human error, but with the oral preventions, it is extremely important to give it every single month.
We also have to consider that parasites are very good at evading our chemicals and medications. It is now generally accepted that isolated instances of resistant heartworms have been identified. Efficacy of four commercially available heartworm preventive products against the JYD-34 laboratory strain of Dirofilaria immitis. Blagburn BL, Arther RG, Dillon AR, Butler JM, Bowles JV, von Simson C, Zolynas R. Parasit Vectors. 2016 Apr 5;9:191. doi: 10.1186/s13071-016-1476-7.
The take home point is this: talk to your veterinarian about the best means of prevention for your pet. Every pet has different needs. There are high risk and low risk areas of the US. There are some pets with food allergies that do poorly on chewable tabs. There are some dogs with seizure disorders that should not be on certain combination medications. There are some dogs that break out in a rash with topical products. I do believe that multimodal prevention will be the most protective in those high risk areas. This includes a heartworm prevention, as well as a mosquito repellant/protection used together.
Milbemycin - elimination half life is 11.6 hrs +/- 0.93 hrs (Xu Q, Li J, Shen Z, et al. An LC-MS method for determination of milbemycin oxime in dog plasma. J Chromatogr Sci 2014;52:999-1004. Available at: https://beta.vin.com/doc/?id=6856728.) There is an article in which the Milbemycin lasts longer in concentration when given in combination with spinosad, yet further research is required to determine whether the higher levels of MBO have any implications for improved effectiveness (Pharmacokinetics of spinosad and milbemycin oxime administered in combination and separately per os to dogs.

(ANTIMEDIA) Hobby Lobby is a self-proclaimed “deeply Christian” chain of craft stores run by the wealthy Green family that made headlines in 2014 when a landmark Supreme Court ruling in their favor extended religious freedom rights to corporations.
A strange situation with the infamous craft chain store hit the headlines Wednesday as it was revealed the Green family is being investigated for importing hundreds of ancient artifacts from Israel that rightfully belong to Iraq.
In 2011, 200-300 thousand-year-old cuneiform clay tablets on their way to an Oklahoma City Hobby Lobby compound from Israel were seized by U.S. customs in Memphis. The tablets were destined to join the wealthy family’s private collection of 40,000 priceless, ancient artifacts already amassed in their $800 million Museum of the Bible — a “giant” museum set to open in Washington D.C. in 2017.
It’s unclear how the artifacts were suspected to have been looted, but they likely came from ISIS pillagers or Iraqi smugglers taking advantage of the current instability in the region.
Although inarguably disrespectful, the Greens’ attempt to smuggle artifacts might not be as offensive as the objects’ questionable future: it’s not clear to whom they should be returned — or if they will be returned at all. | 2019-04-19T12:29:30 | https://www.mintpressnews.com/hobby-lobby-owners-suspected-of-illegally-importing-looted-iraqi-artifacts/210857/?comments-open=1 |
I admit you guys, I'm pretty tired of the pages coming out late myself. But we're nearing the finish line on this chapter. I'll probably have to adjust how I produce pages after that to avoid delays. Thanks for reading ya'll. See you next week.
Ya know, I liked Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald just fine. I do kind of wonder when Dumbledore decided that he should stop wearing smartly-cut slacks and vests, though. When does a man like that switch styles to flowing multicolored robes and a waist-length, chained-up beard? Probably the 60s, right? Yeah, that seems like a 60s thing.

RUD Chain Inc. now offers one of its latest innovations to the North American market: the Tecdos Tool-Mover is a manipulation device for safe turning and tilting of heavy and awkward dies, molds and tools or other large apparatuses.
RUD CHAIN INC., a subsidiary of RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG, now offers one of its latest innovations to the North American market: the Tecdos Tool-Mover is a manipulation device for safe turning and tilting of heavy and awkward dies, molds and tools or other large apparatuses.
RUD manufactures high-quality chains and chain products for applications in mechanical engineering, hoisting, conveying and drive systems for almost 140 years. RUD is ISO9001 certified and widely known for its expertise in heat treatment and technology.
The Tool-Mover offers many optimal safety features. It turns the load at the center of gravity, which means that the load is turned very smoothly and securely. It is equipped with a frequency-controlled drive that ensures an even and smooth drive from start to finish, and it can be securely stopped in any position even if power to the unit is cut.
Handling and turning of heavy tools, dies and metal molding tools can be dangerous without the right equipment, causing risk to operators and damage to expensive tools if they are not turned effectively. The Tool-Mover ensures that handling and tilting of heavy and sensitive dies, molds and tools are moved safely and securely, and therefore costs are reduced due to damaged tools and improving the safety of the operator.
The Tool-Mover is easy to use and position as it does not need to be bolted to the floor, and can be moved to locations in a facility by a crane, fork lift, or pallet truck. It is able to turn heavy dies, molds and tools by 90° starting from 6.3 metric tons, and including 10 mt, 16 mt, 20 mt, and 32 mt on a table measuring 1x1x1 meter.
Tools can easily be cleaned on the table due to the low platform height. The Tool-Mover is covered with polyurethane plates that help to preserve the tools. | 2019-04-21T17:05:48 | https://www.forgingmagazine.com/handling/safe-turningtilting-device |

The project of the expansion of the University of Languages and Communication is part of the Campus IULM and recalls the need for an overall redevelopment of peripheral and productive areas in the city of Milan, with the aim of renewing the urban, building and environmental fabric of the city.
The new building completes the transformation of the University with high quality facility service of public interest, such as the Auditorium, a Digital Library, the Canteen and the Exhibition Spaces.
The proposed building, both for its articulation of separate volumes placed side by side, and for its role of openness to the city, have the double goal to merge itself in continuity with the other buildings of IULM, and also to be open to the city, representing the will of IULM to be connected and to interact with the city, in physical, cultural and economic terms.
This functional composition is reflected in the choice of materials that had as goal the inclusion in the urban contexts in terms of continuity and visibility.
The south building, made in concrete, low and linear, hosts spaces whose flexibility makes them usable for various academic facilities such as laboratories, exhibition halls, and as venues for events and corporate activities.
The auditorium (covered in ceramics), an element of great architectural prestige, may be considered the focal spot of the complex and is designed to accommodate projections, conferences, cultural and artistic events. | 2019-04-25T06:39:10 | http://www.archmarathon.com/2015/iulm-6_libera-universita-di-lingue-e-comunicazione/ |

PHILADELPHIA, PA – November 9, 2015 – Biondo Creative announced today that it will be creating an Online Store for the Norphans, a sub-division of Northeast Catholic High School alumni. The online store is built using technology from Shopify to create an eCommerce experience that is attractive, secure and easy to use.
On October 8, 2009 the Archdiocese of Philadelphia decided to close Northeast Catholic High School for Boys and ever since North Catholic Alumni have been looking for ways to keep the memory of the school alive. The Norphans and sponsors, JP Tee’s and Biondo Creative are launching this website to give alums, families and friends a chance to purchase North Catholic apparel and give back to the community.

LEAHY. Mr. President, on September 17, 1787, George Washington, James Madison, and their fellow framers made the momentous decision to sign the Constitution and send it along to the American people for ratification--marking a new beginning in our Nation's profound experiment in democracy.
While the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787 established the firm foundation for our democracy, it was not complete because it did not address the vexing issue of slavery. It would take more than seven decades and a bloody civil war before our founding charter would right that wrong.
This year marks the sesquicentennial, or the 150th anniversary, of the Thirteenth Amendment, which, along with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, has been described by scholars as our Nation's ``Second Founding.'' Ratified by President Lincoln and his generation after the Civil War, these second founding amendments transformed our original charter by ending slavery, banning racial discrimination in voting, and elevating liberty and equality to a central place in our constitutional order. While we rightly celebrate our original founding charter, we have often overlooked the importance of these subsequent amendments, which has served as the bedrock and inspiration to procuring equality for racial minorities and women.
On January 31, 1865, Congress passed the Thirteenth Amendment to end slavery and sent it to the States for ratification. Passage of that amendment was by no means an easy feat. As brilliantly captured by Steven Spielberg in his film ``Lincoln,'' the final vote was every bit as dramatic as the film's portrayal. Doris Kearns Goodwin's award- winning book, ``Team of Rivals,'' noted that before this historic vote: ``Every available foot of space, both in the galleries and on the floor of the House, was crowded at an early hour,'' and the attendees included Chief Justice Chase and the members of the Supreme Court, along with Secretary of State William Seward.
Without the support of five Democrats who became the swing votes, the amendment would never have passed. One Pennsylvania congressman, knowing that his vote could very well cost him his seat, said right before he cast his vote that ``If by my action today I dig my political grave, I will descend into it without a murmur.'' I am proud to say that both of Vermont's Senators voted in favor of the amendment, including Senator Solomon Foot, who served as President pro tempore of the Senate during the Civil War, and Senator Jacob Collamer, who was called the ``Green Mountain Socrates'' by Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts. Upon the amendment's passage, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton ordered 100 guns to fire with their heaviest charges while the names of those who voted in favor of the amendment were read aloud because ``History [would] embalm them in great honor.'' Upon passage, President Lincoln received praise from even his most ardent critics, including the prominent abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, who once burned a copy of the Constitution while calling it a proslavery document.
While this year marks the 150th anniversary of the passage and ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, we should celebrate the second founding amendments together, for they are inextricably bound. The Fourteenth Amendment, passed in 1866 and ratified in 1868, is perhaps the single most influential amendment passed after the Bill of Rights. This week also marks the 149th anniversary of the passage of the 14th Amendment in the Senate. It was under the command of the Fourteenth Amendment providing equal protection for all citizens that the Supreme Court held that separate was inherently unequal in Brown v. Board of Education; that marriage is a fundamental right that cannot be tainted with racial discrimination in Loving v. Virginia; that women could not be denied admission into an all-male military institute because of their gender in United States v. Virginia; and many others, including hopefully, that the fundamental right to marriage extends to all individuals regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity in Obergefell v. Hodges.
Ratification of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments cannot be separated from the Fifteenth, which outlawed racial discrimination in voting. In 1865, one month after the end of the Civil War, William Lloyd Garrison called for disbanding an anti-slavery society of which Frederick Douglass and others were members. Prescient as ever, and about 100 years before the passage of the Voting Rights Act, Frederick Douglass responded that ``Slavery is not abolished until the black man has the ballot.'' As we celebrate the second founding amendments, we must also take time to recognize that issues of race continue to plague our Nation. And as far as we have come, we still have a lot further to go in our march toward a more perfect union. There are some who would confine the fight for civil rights to a bygone era. They see it as a remnant of the distant past in our Nation's history. And they cite the election of an African American president as evidence that we have somehow achieved full equality under the law. But we know the struggle for equality and for civil rights is ongoing. The fight for a more perfect union is one that every generation must contribute to--including this one. | 2019-04-18T20:40:50 | https://the-constituent.com/commemorating-the-150th-anniversaries-of-the-ratification-of-the-13th-14th-and/speech/51171 |

The First News told about broadcast surgeries, performed by the best surgeons of Europe on November 28. They presented the photos how it all happened in the surgery room of Professor Puxeddu.
Thousands tune in to watch operations as they are performed and live streamed across the globe.
Surgeons from across Europe have teamed up online to publicly live stream their operations. For one day only, top throat, head and neck specialists are carrying out the operations with thousands tuning into to watch them as part of the 4th European Laryngological Live surgery broadcast.
The broadcast allows medical professionals, students and patients to see first-hand how the most distinguished surgeons in Europe deal with sensitive procedures.
Designed and overseen by the European Laryngological Surgery Session Live (ELSSL) and organized by the Otolaryngology and Laryngological Oncology Clinic of the Medical University of Poznań in west Poland, the broadcast is expected to each around 15,000 people in 60 countries.
Head of the clinic of otolaryngology and oncology of the larynx of the medical University of Poznan, professor Wierzbicka told that the board of professors of the ELSSL chooses the centers to operate in and only they can extend an invitation. It is not possible to express an interest or fill an application to be a part of the broadcast.

Izvornik: Abstracts of the 4th European Conference on Psychological Assessment / Silva, Danilo R. (ur.). - European Association of Psychological Assessment , 1997. 75.
Mjesto i datum: Lisabon, Portugal, 07-10.09.1997.
AISS (Arnett, 1994) was administered on a sample od 197 men, ranging in age from 17 to 47 years (M = 29, 6 years). The scale represents a new way of conceptualizing a sensation seeking construct. It consists of 20 items divided into two subscales, intensity and novelty, each containing 10 items. Relatively low reliability coefficients were found for the two subscales: Cronbach alpha for the novelty scale is .531, and for the intensity scale is .584. Subscales show relatively high correlations: r = 0.52. Only 3 items, concerning travels abroad and marriage to someone from a foreign country, have satisfactory correlations with a corrected total result for the novelty scale. For the intensity subscale 8 items have relatively balanced correlation coefficients, while the remaining 2 have zero correlation. Principal components and common factors analyses revealed highly congruent two-factor solutions (correlations for corresponding latent dimensions are over .97). The novelty scale correlates with the corresponding component r = .73, and with an intensity component r = .40. Intensity scale correlation with corresponding component is .75, and with the novelty component is .50. Higher relations between scales and factors could hardly be expected due to low internal consistency of the scales. | 2019-04-22T04:34:43 | http://bib.irb.hr/prikazi-rad?rad=8985 |
Most people don’t really think about their colon and how it functions. However, your colon is an important part of your body, and it needs to function well to keep your body healthy. The colon, which is often called the large intestine, helps remove certain nutrients, salt, and water, and it helps in the formation of your stool. If your colon isn’t performing correctly, your body will continue to hold waste longer than it should. Waste is not efficiency moved if the colon is unhealthy.
If it takes too long for your system to eliminate waste, toxins are re-absorbed and bacteria and fungi thrive. If your colon is healthy, it will eliminate waste every 6-18 hours. Certain foods can help you keep your digestive track cleansed and functioning appropriately.
If your colon is working right, food should be processed in about 24 hours. However, our modern diets often lack essential nutrients, and this means that the time for food to process may slow down significantly. This could leave 20 or 30 pounds of accumulated waste in your body. One sign that you could have this problem is constipation. | 2019-04-25T14:16:01 | https://easyhacker.com/eliminate-10-20-pounds-poison-colon-natural-way-natural-colon-cleanser/ |
Childhood is the single most important stage of human development. This is because childhood serves as the foundation of every person’s emotional and intellectual growth. No matter who you are, or what you’ve accomplished in life, the majority of your strengths and weaknesses as an adult are directly related to the social conditioning you received when you were young. The way a person is nurtured during childhood not only establishes the very first components of their identity, it also continually informs how they interpret and adapt to the ever-changing world around them.
Life can get fast-paced and it’s easy to pass the buck and let a nanny or babysitter do all the heavy lifting. But if you expect a child to take up the values and habits that you hold dear, it’s best if you take charge and do some nurturing personally.! Make the sacrifice and set apart some time to read to your kids from the time they become toddlers.
If your child is barley learning their ABCs, don’t pick material which is too complex for them to retain. Remember that the whole point of teaching kids to read is improvement of their comprehension. Don’t challenge them to read advanced books unnecessarily because taking things too fast can frustrate them.
No matter how awkward or unnecessary it feels, you have to break out the drama if you expect your kids to enjoy reading. Use funny voices, sing some songs, include some gestures and make things interactive overall. The more entertaining you make reading, the more your child will embrace the process and activate their imagination.
Reading out loud to your children is a ve! ry positive way to practice parenting. Not only does it stimulate them intellectually, it also allows you to bond with them in a casual way. It creates the opportunity for you to participate directly in the construction of their personality. That’s too valuable a privilege to ignore. If you like what you just read from our blog, you’ll love the various informative workshops and events listed on our website and social media. Whether you’re interested in personal development, or overall improvement of your business, give us a call at 1 (888) 823-7757 to find out how The RISE Programs Academy for Business Coaching and Leadership Training can help you break past your daily struggles and start soaring in success. | 2019-04-22T11:04:25 | https://www.riseprogramsacademy.com/2018/10/05/3-parenting-tips-to-help-kids-become-strong-readers/ |

If you have a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner connected to your workstation you can scan vintrace barcodes to take you directly to the relevant screen for the barcode. Barcodes that can be scanned from this point include Scale bookings, Work orders and Lab Labels.
Note this is not designed to work with the Barrel Barcode Scanning Module. More details on this module.
To enter barcode scanning mode click on the barcode image at the top of the desktop.
When the cursor in the entry field is blinking you can scan the barcode with your scanner.
Hint: if you don’t have a barcode reader you can type in the barcode value. All vintrace barcodes have their value printed below them. For example the first cellar note (work order) you produce will have the value TWL1 under it. If you type TWL1 and hit enter in the SCAN NOW field vintrace will behave the same as it would if you scanned the barcode and will take you directly to the work order/cellar note. This will also work for sample labels generated from the Sampling console.
All lab requests in the Lab Console have an “AT” number associated with it (and printed on the label); entering the “AT” number into the SCAN NOW field will take you directly to the lab request (regardless of its status). | 2019-04-20T12:26:46 | https://support.winery-software.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000826656-Barcode-scanning |
← Love on a budget…….
Last night, before bed I was pondering what makes space into place. This is one of my favorite things to think about architecturally speaking. I came up with soul. I am going to define the soul of place as: the inescapable, almost palpable, not quite tangible, essence of life manifest through space in a rythem all its own… undeniable and unforgettable.
I am sure that you have been in a place like this before… they are fantastic spaces. Well thought out, everything just seems to magically come together. I strive to make my house a place like this as do many people I think. After all, defining place is one of our most primitive and natural instincts.
Here are a few pics I took while traveling in Venice a few years ago. I think these pictures really embody the soul I am speaking of. | 2019-04-24T17:52:25 | http://www.amysarttable.com/2012/01/12/the-soul-of-place/ |
In quantitative analyses, we analyse nominal and continuous variables, or so we are taught. For example: is a country democratic and how democratic is a country, or is a person poor and how poor is she? But both democratization and impoverishment are processes that develop over time. In consequence, there are social trajectories of democratization and impoverishment. Sequence analysis, originally developed in biology to analyse DNA sequences, is a longitudinal method that allows to analyse such trajectories, or sequences of different states in a life course, different states in a country's development or any other sequence of interest.

since my dad has retired, we've discovered he's got an artistic streak!
when I was growing up he was usually busy with work and meetings and he was involved in a lot of volunteer and service groups so he probably didn't have much time to show his creative side.
me - wow fabulous bowl mum - where did you get that one ?
me - what ! dad made it - really ! its fabulous - wow !
and recently he's discovered glass mosaics and has made a few clocks for the family - I was really happy to receive one for my birthday this year - its just gorgeous.
last week Dad sent me photos of his latest project - a glass mosaic table top which is stunning - when I was last at home a few months ago this was just a plain glass top outdoor table !
These are just stunning! Tell your dad he is doing a beautiful job!!
Wow! His work is beautiful. If he doesn't want to make a quilt, I bet he would be good at designing them for the rest of us.
Your dads projects are awesome. I love the little wrens. You must treasure your gift, it is beautiful.
What a great talent your dad has! And it's been hidden away all these years?! Well, his skills are a good indicator of where your gifts came from. | 2019-04-23T06:20:38 | https://www.daisyandjackhandmade.com/2012/10/dads-glass-mosaics.html |

As parents age and their children move out, many parents are fed up with the maintenance of their larger homes and are looking to downsize.
Children feel comfort in knowing that they will be able to provide the best care for their parents as they grow older.
Nursing homes and assisted living are expensive. An in-law apartment allows you to avoid those costly bills and lets your parents enjoy the comfort of living in their own home.
The majority of children want to help their parents enjoy their golden years, but having everyone confined to one house can take a toll on even the strongest relationships. In-law apartments offer privacy for both parents and children alike.
One shared mortgage means no secondary rent or senior living costs, saving both parents and children money.
Two separate living quarters, but only one utility bill.
Built in babysitter. The cost of childcare is through the roof these days. Why pay a fortune for daycare when your parents can watch the kids and enjoy spending time with their grandchildren?
Whether you’re currently spending money purchasing plane tickets or filling your gas tank for family visits, you’ll surely enjoy saving time and money to make family memories happen.

Are there enough parking spaces for everyone? On top of answering these types of questions, how much will the in-law apartment increase the property value of your home? If it increases the property value well beyond the rest of the neighborhood, then you’re probably going to have a hard time selling in the future.

In today’s day and age, new construction homes are providing homebuyers with more value than ever before. It’s not difficult to figure out why most homebuyers prefer new homes. The majority of home buyers opt for new construction for the same few reasons.
Compared to homes built just 10 years ago, today’s new construction homes are up too 30% more efficient! Your probably wondering how are today’s new homes so much more efficient. Cutting-edge energy efficient building products including superior insulation, windows, doors, furnaces, appliances and much more. Additionally, the building codes of today are much more stringent than those of 10 years ago. All these factors culminate in drastic savings over older homes.
Let’s face it, everyone has their own sense of style, and finding an existing home that reflects yours can be a true test. Putting your unique design idea’s in to effect on a new construction home is no problem. From the countertops to the windows, door knobs, cabinets, paint colors, flooring, light fixtures, you can customize your new home and make it all your own.
New homes are built with materials and systems that have progressed by leaps and bounds in recent years. The result is less homeowner maintenance. When purchasing a used home your often on borrowed time before needing to invest in repairs on old products, leaving you regretfully reaching for your wallet.
As parents, we’re always telling our kids the old adage “safety first”. When you opt for a new home no one can call you a hypocrite; today’s homes are safer than ever. State-of-the-art circuit breaks, electric garage doors with infrared beams that stop if a person or object is in it’s path, furnaces that use more eco-friendly coolants, and building materials comprised of less volatile compounds, make those living in new homes feel secure.
Every person and family have their own unique set of needs. Trying to find an existing home that has everything you want is an uphill battle more most. Building a new construction home offers the opportunity to get everything you want, exactly the way you want it. Whether you want to have a first floor master in a two story colonial, finished walk up attic, or a bar in the basement, your vision is within reach.

The 1980s were a period of decline for football in the West Midlands. A decade which had started with one of its clubs, Aston Villa, winning the Football League Championship and the European Cup in successive season soon saw several of its most notable clubs hit hitherto unseen low points in their histories and one man, a scrap metal dealer from the Black Country, seemed to be at the centre of much of the tumult of the decade, with vitriolic anger being hurled his way from the supporters of two different clubs at which promises of a brighter future were lost amid desperate struggles to keep failing businesses afloat. At both Walsall and Birmingham City, Ken Wheldon is remembered with little great affection, but to what extent was Wheldon responsible for his own legacy and to what extent was he a victim of an era of rapid decline during which he was involved in the game?
Wheldon’s arrival at Walsall’s Fellows Park in 1972 was greeted with enthusiasm and some relief by the club’s support. He was a local businessman made good, and Walsall was a club that had slipped into financial difficulty with the decline which followed the game’s post-war boom in attendances. For the first few years of his time in charge of the club, it looked as if Walsall might even be able to establish itself in the top two divisions of the English game. In 1975 they beat Manchester United on a run which took them to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup, a run which was matched three years later, whilst in the summer of 1979, during a period of hyper-inflation in the football transfer market, he smashed the club’s record transfer fee in paying £175,000 to bring Alan Buckley back to the club after a brief spell with Birmingham City, although this was no more than Birmingham had paid Walsall for him eight months earlier. Buckley, who had scored in the aforementioned match against Manchester United four years earlier, would go on to score a goal every other game for the club in a further two hundred and forty appearances. Shortly after his return to the club, he was appointed player-manager of the club. He would remain in this position until after Wheldon’s departure from the club.
Walsall’s problems, however, were mounting. The extent to which the game would slip further into recession might have been unforeseeable in 1979, but the dilapidated state of Fellows Park wasn’t and in 1982 Wheldon announced his intention for Walsall to move in to share Molineux with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Wolves themselves had found themselves in financial difficulty at the start of the decade, and the arrival of former player Derek Dougan as the head of a consortium to take the club over provided someone at that club who was happy to talk over the possibilities of such an arrangement with Wheldon, while a change of the control of the local council, who had even put forward the possibility of buying shares in the club to prevent such a scenario from being played out in full, meant that this possible course of rescue action was now off the menu. Walsall supporters, however, were having none of this and quickly organised themselves into a protest group called the Save Walsall Action Group. Prior to the team’s final home game of the 1981/82 season, a thousand supporters marched, peacefully but in protest, against Wheldon’s manoeuvrings. Wheldon, in turn, fired broadsides at supporters groups. Within weeks, however, he was starting to play down talk of the club moving to Molineux.
In one sense, the club leaving Fellows Park made sense. Situated handily between the town centre and a junction of the M6 motorway, the site of the ground was of considerable interest to property developers while a location for an alternative half a mile away, on the site of a former sewage works in Bescot, could be redeveloped. Fellows Park, meanwhile, had fallen into disrepair in previous years, and the extent of this decay was shown up on Valentine’s Day in 1984, during one of the biggest matches in Walsall FC’s history. Having beaten Arsenal at Highbury in the Fourth Round of the League Cup that year, Alan Buckley’s team then beat Rotherham United to set up a semi-final with Liverpool. After a shock two-all draw at Anfield in the first leg of the semi-final, a crowd of almost 20,000 people turned out for the return match. This pressure, however, proved to be too much for the creaking stadium. A wall at the Railway End of Fellows Park collapsed under the pressure of the huge crowd, and more than twenty people were injured. Play was held up for thirteen minutes and Liverpool won the match by two goals to nil, but this was something of an irrelevance in comparison with the tragedy that was only narrowly avoided that night.
Within two years, Wheldon had left Fellows Park, but he didn’t travel very far and his influence would continue to hang over Walsall FC for a while, at least. If the mid-1980s were a crisis period for English football, then the extent of that decline was, perhaps, best encapsulated ten miles away from Walsall at St Andrews, the home of Birmingham City Football Club. The collapse of a wall during riots at the match against Leeds United on the last day of the 1984/85 season had been a tiny bit reminiscent of the events fifteen months at Fellows Park a year earlier. The day had been meant to be a day of celebration for Birmingham supporters, who should have been celebrating the return of their club to the First Division after a year away, but a sense of decay around the club continued into the next season when, burdened by a – very substantial at the time – £3m debt and attendances which had, as they had at so many other clubs at the time, plummeted to the lowest levels in something approaching living memory. By Christmas of 1985, the Blues were only being kept off the bottom of the First Division table by the even more hapless West Bromwich Albion and the Coombs family, the owners of the club, were quite content to hand over the club to Wheldon in December 1985 – just two months Wheldon had attempted to buy into Wolverhampton Wanderers before being told that the club wasn’t for sale – for the princely sum of twenty-five pence if he took responsibility for the club’s debts.
Eyebrows started to raise at the close relationship between Birmingham City and Walsall soon thereafter. It was announced that the two clubs were to share Birmingham’s training ground at Elmdon, whilst a request was put to the Football League that the two clubs’ fixtures for the following season be alternated and the two clubs would, from now on, share a groundsman. In April of 1986, following talk of a three-way ground-share between Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Bromwich Albion and Walsall, Wheldon said what many had been expecting him to say – that two clubs using two grounds in disrepair ten miles apart didn’t make any sense and that Walsall should move to St Andrews and ground-share there. The Save Walsall Action Group was again pressed into action. With the support of the local press, peaceful protests returned to Fellows Park and finally, after a meeting of the Football League Management Committee held in Newcastle, the League blocked Wheldon’s hopes of Walsall moving to St Andrews, and on the first of August 1986 the London-based businessman Terry Ramsden took ownership of the club, but Walsall’s woes didn’t end there. That, however, will need to wait for another chapter.
Birmingham City, meanwhile, could hardly be described as being in the pink themselves. They ended the 1985/85 season relegated back to the Second Division with just twenty-nine points, with manager Ron Saunders having departed for West Bromwich Albion within weeks of Wheldon’s arrival at St Andrews in January 1986. His replacement was the former Norwich City and Manchester City manager John Bond, but Bond was unable to keep the team up and the following season the club’s fortunes barely improved. He departed in May 1987 with Birmingham only having narrowly avoided relegation for a second consecutive season by one place and two points. Cost-cutting at the club was already rife, with redundancies having been made amongst the club’s administrative staff, but in 1988 the Elmdon training ground was sold for £350,000 plus 30% of the development profits in an attempt to stabilise the club’s finances while the club again finished two points above the Second Division relegation places under new manager Gary Pendrey.
The following season, Birmingham City sunk without trace, finishing second from bottom in the Second Division table and getting relegated to the third tier of the English game for the first time in its history. Although in a general sense attendances had start to recover after the record lows of the middle of the decade, crowds at St Andrews continue to flat-line. By the 1988/89 season, crowds at Birmingham had plummeted to an all-time low average of just 6,289 people, with just 4,026 people turning out to see them beaten at home by Swindon Town in April 1989. Meanwhile, the club was knocked out of both the Full Members and League Cups by Aston Villa, conceding thirteen goals over the course of the three matches, and scoring none. For Ken Wheldon, time was up as the chairman of Birmingham City. In April 1989 he sold his controlling stake in the club to the Manchester-based Kumar Brothers, about whom yet another chapter in this series will be dedicated. Ken Wheldon died just four years later in May 1993, at the age of sixty-eight.
At the end of the 1980/81 season Aston Villa became the champions of England for the first time since 1910, whilst West Bromwich Albion finished in fourth place in the First Division and Birmingham City finished in thirteenth place in the table and Wolverhampton Wanderers made the semi-finals of the FA Cup. By the end of the 1988/89 season, Villa would be just above the relegation places in the First Division, while West Bromwich Albion would be in the Second Division (and destined for worse) and both Birmingham City and Walsall would be relegated to the Third Division. The decline of English football during the 1980s has been well documented, but this decline seemed more accentuated in the Midlands than in most other parts of the country. How much of this was something that could be said to fall within reasonable probability, or was the apparently close relationship between those running several of its different clubs a malign influence across all of the clubs that ended up coming under this sphere of influence?
At Birmingham City, there may be a case for suggesting that Ken Wheldon did what he had to do to in order the keep the club alive during one of the most turbulent periods in its history. The rot started under the the Coombs family and bottomed out with the Kumar brothers, but the club did pull through even if it did end up in the third tier of English football for a while. Walsall supporters, however, might well be a little more unanimous in their opinions of him. Their club would go on to have difficulties which would lead to a chain of events which continues to this day and, if we were feeling generous, we could attempt to argue that notions of ground-sharing, mergers and the like were very much part of the culture of football club ownership at the time. Having said that, however, the ferocity of the protests against those who sought to “rationalise” the Football League during this period suggests that such behaviour was as unacceptable to supporters then as it seems today. Rather than seeking to make their grounds safer or actively engage in their communities, there were football club owners who planned ground-shares and mergers and in a lot of cases they came close to killing football clubs that had existed for more than one hundred years. The chain reaction that started with Ken Wheldon in the early 1980s continues to have ramifications for Walsall Football Club to this day.
The 200% World Cup: France vs Honduras Live!
The decline of West Midlands football in the 1980s was, as you rightly say, far more accentuated than that elsewhere in the UK.
It must also be blamed on a succession of dreadful owners, rather than economic problems; after all, the Merseyside clubs dominated the decade despite Liverpool’s huge unemployment.
At least Blues and Wolves had a sensible ownership structure; this meant that eventually they would be bought out be decent businessmen – Jack Hayward and David Sullivan respectively – who would turn the clubs’ fortunes around.
In the case of West Bromwich Albion, an antiquated share system meant that no individual could own a controlling interest in the club (I think the maximum permitted was about 15%). This meant that during football’s 1990s gold rush, when investors flooded in, Albion would stagnate and fall far behind their neighbours. Mounting debts and the promise of outside investment from electronics magnate Paul Thompson finally led to a change in the club’s constitution and a long-overdue modernisation at the end of the decade.
A scary blast from the past.
Not even Kens closest family would describe him as a nice man, but oh boy was he careful with his cash. Legend has it that he spent much of his time at Blues and Walsall stalking around the premises turning off lights, taps and anything else that might cost.
I myself witnessed, at around 6pm on a snowy Xmas Eve, the bizarre sight of a fully suited Ken supervising the ‘weighing in’ of a poor tatters pramload of scrap batteries. It was also strongly rumoured that his main interest in Birmingham City was the metal salvage potential of the stadium.
A truly terrible man in many ways, Ken somehow managed to oversee some of Walsalls best ever days. The less said of his dealings at Brum and his sale of the club to the Kumars, the better, particularly as a Statute of Limitation might still apply.
Another terrifically well written piece. Given the antics of the Bendalls and Ellis at Villa it is a small wonder a whole book hasn’t been written in West Mids footy from 1980 onwards! My Dad became a Villa fan in 1957. He and 2 school friends each picked one of the West Mids teams (Blues and Albion being the others) in the semis of the FA Cup along with Man Utd. We won that year but not since and yet he clearly picked the best of the bunch, another indicator of West Mids footballing mediocrity!!
V good article and I was there at the time following Blues home and away. However, apart from the Albion, West Mids football seems in a similar precarious place this season with declining attendances and poor ownership.
, Ken Wheldon is remembered with little great affection, – there is no need for ‘great’ to be in this sentence, as ‘remembered with little affection’ would have made total sense. | 2019-04-21T22:42:54 | http://twohundredpercent.net/100-owners-number-76-ken-wheldon-walsall-birmingham-city/ |

What Would YOU Do To Stay Warm? | HomesNow!
What Would YOU Do To Stay Warm?
Home/Blog/What Would YOU Do To Stay Warm?
Sunday, February 3rd, Whatcom County was blasted by a severe winter storm that iced roads and pelted the ground with over 2 feet of snow. This stormy weather continued for over three days exacerbating winter temperatures. The local shelter struggles to organize and meet the capacity of individuals who are stranded without housing options each winter, and this winter has been no exception. Meanwhile, community members continue to reach out with blankets, hand and toe warmers, winter gear, and transportation to and from shelters carpooling in their own vehicles to locate those in need and offer assistance.
It is evident that colder temperatures in Bellingham make it difficult to manage safe conditions for health and human survival. After six months of running a local shower truck to offset human needs of those who are experiencing homelessness, Homes NOW volunteers became concerned when members of our community using their shower service showed up reporting they had frostbite from sleeping in the cold.
In response to these reports and winter conditions, two local students collected over 150 plastic bottles from residential recycling bins to fill with hot water and distribute across the Bellingham downtown area. Community witnessing this effort stepped up to assist by donating money to offer hotel options and funding for those stranded outdoors with nowhere to go when the storm hit. Local campsites were impacted by fallen trees and severe snow and ice. Winter Haven camp behind City Hall that was relocated to hotels for the duration of the storm have now returned to their site. The cold temperatures at night are excruciating.
Homes NOW funded 2 vans to assist a group of individuals who independently collaborated with a local church to provide additional shelter options during the stormy weather that impacted the city. It is evident that local shelter options and effort to publicize these locations is difficult to announce. No public announcement of storm or weather hazard was made by County or City beyond online web pages which often is not accessible to those living outdoors. No storm protocol from County was made to alert Cities to provide satisfactory response. Local church efforts remain obscure to protect private interests. A conflict arises when public government relies on church outreach to supply the only public center for shelter, yet it is local churches that continue to be the default to satisfy this need due to lack of City and County response.
Local community volunteers print and distribute flyers to those on the street to alert them to shelter options. Volunteers who witness the needs on the street continue to communicate a need for city and county responsiveness. Public outcry and dire weather resulted in the temporary opening of Maritime Heritage Center and the County Civic Center by City and County officials. It was staffed by council members, BPD, Sheriff’s department, and countless volunteers to offset lack of needed shelter during inclement weather. The City Maritime location remained open for less than one week of the storm. The County Civic Center remained open over a week and discontinued as of March 1st. Cold weather still impacts the many lives without shelter who must endure below freezing temperatures at night if they cannot find shelter at the Mission.
A local business Hohl Feed and Seed was severely impacted by devastating fire, sadly caused by an unhoused individual in the community who utilizes many public services to support himself who was likely seeking shelter and warmth. It has become a point of contention with local leadership between City and County councils as to whom is responsible for provisions that would support the unhoused population during winter months. It is clear that lives are at risk to both the housed and unhoused community for lack of this provision.
No satisfactory public warming center(s) are provided during winter months to offset public risk and both the housed and unhoused stranded outdoors have alerted city and county officials of this lack. No warming center has been established beyond emergency response measures enacted after public outcry from the local community two weeks after the onslaught of this 2019 winter storm. Tragically, a tent was found behind a local Haggen occupied by a deceased resident who did not survive the storm. It is unknown the number of injured or deceased as winter months continue to impact the lives of those living outdoors.
Local residents both housed and unhoused continue to provide as much outreach as possible to their neighbors despite the City and County inaction and ongoing debate of liability and cost. Local activists are mobilizing to ensure homelessness rights are made evident to clarify legal interpretation of constitutional law in municipal coding that may wrongfully criminalize an unhoused person for what is considered life-sustaining activity, including outdoor survival during winter hazard when local agencies are not made available to sustain local lives.

Don’t buy CBD oil in New Hampshire, Ohio unless the store can tell you where the source comes from. CBD oil is getting very popular and many small shops are taking advantage of the profits by ordering poor quality CBD oil from overseas that has minimal health benefits.
CBD, additionally called Cannabidiol, is simply among 85 various chemical substances in cannabis plants. CBD Hemp Oil is stemmed from hemp, or marijuana expanded with very little THC (often much less than 0.3%). For the sake of this short article we will describe cannabis as cannabis grown for its psychoactive results, and hemp as marijuana grown for its useful usages as a fiber. Marijuana is marketed for its THC content as well as hemp is utilized for its CBD web content.
THC is the psychoactive or envigorating compound located in cannabis plants whereas, CBD oil is not psychoactive or envigorating and also has revealed solid signs of being a reliable treatment for a variety of diseases as well as psychological health and wellness problems.
Where Can I Buy CBD Hemp Oil in New Hampshire, Ohio?
Hemp oil is lawful in all 50 states however the manufacturing of CBD Hemp Oil is not. Although both originated from cannabis, hemp oil is originated from clean and sterile cannabis seeds, which are legal under the Controlled Substances Act. CBD Oil is originated from the plant’s flowers which are not legal in some states.
While there may be local CBD shops in New Hampshire, you should try a bottle of premium CBD before spending a lot of money on it.
Nonetheless, this doesn’t quit the import of CBD oil made from industrialized hemp expanded lawfully, which is why you’re able to purchase it lawfully on the internet.
You could find items including hemp oil in the beauty area of your local retailer, yet to obtain CBD Oil you’ll either have to remain in a state where it’s legal to produce or acquire an import.
Cannabidiol, or CBD in New Hampshire as it is typically known, is an extremely interesting chemical. And it is accountable for many individuals altering their sights on cannabis use for medicinal objectives. While every person has heard of THC, very few recognize CBD. The two chemicals are both consisted of in cannabis, however they offer very various functions. While the THC in cannabis is getting you high, CBD is something that poses massive benefits from a medicinal perspective – as well as it does not have the very same side effects on the body as THC. Below are some facts to find out about CBD.
When we look at the cornerstones in cannabis, we quickly note the relevance of THC and also CBD. These chemicals are present in the highest focus in marijuana plant, no matter just how it is grown. Even recreational cannabis breeders have noticed that there are high levels of CBD in their crop. Some have actually also handled to grow cannabis with a lot of CBD, however hardly any THC – and these stress are becoming increasingly more preferred each year. People want the advantages of CBD without the unfavorable side-effects of THC.
Contrary to popular belief, products such as CBD oil or CBD capsules are not going to get you high. The CBD in these products, or the CBD you discover in marijuana, is not going to make you really feel the same as the THC does. It is THC which is a psychedelic substance – CBD is not. It does not act similarly when it enters into call with your brain’s paths. It does not conflict with your psychomotor or mental functions either. For those that want an easier explanation: CBD is 100 percent secure and is not going to get you high!
There are many different health and wellness benefits to taking CBD. For example, it could assist individuals who are experiencing excessive queasiness and throwing up due to the fact that they are experiencing chemotherapy or some other sort of treatment. It is likewise terrific at reducing the seizures some people get on a regular basis. An additional benefit to CBD is just how it aids fight swelling and also neurodegenerative problems. It is likewise fantastic for depression as well as stress and anxiety victims. So if you are suffering from among these conditions, you might wish to talk with your medical professional concerning the possibility of hopping on CBD oil or CBD capsule supplements for a couple of months.
It interests keep in mind that the stress of cannabis that only consist of a lot of THC are the ones that cause individuals to feel sleepy, disoriented as well as “high.” Lots of individuals who utilize the marijuana strains which contain a high amount of CBD remark that they do not endure the exact same signs and symptoms. Actually, some claim to feel much more alert. This is because CBD is neutralizing the effect of the THC on your body, providing those strains of cannabis reasonably safe too.
There has actually been a remarkable increase in information focus on medical cannabis in New Hampshire, OH, with records on CNN, ABC, CBS, and local publications regarding high-cannabidiol marijuana oil effectively managing the signs of rare epileptic problems like Dravet disorder, Doose syndrome, infantile spasms, cortical dysplasia, as well as more.
These conditions can trigger hundreds to countless seizures a week, while also impairing development in a variety of other ways. For family members with kids suffering from such problems, the obstacles are frustrating. Because of the incredibly complex nature of Dravet and associated disorders, conventional pharmaceuticals are ineffective as well as typically make the issues even worse. Without various other hope, family members have looked to high-CBD cannabis oil, which is proving to collaborate with miraculous efficacy.
To clear up, high-CBD cannabis oil is non-psychoactive and obviously even more beneficial compared to high-THC cannabis oil. Cannabidiol is one more cannabinoid in the marijuana plant, like the extra well-known psychedelic cannabinoid THC, with significant study suggesting neuroprotectant, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-ischemic, antispasmodic, antipsychotic, and also anti-bacterial homes, among others.
Moreover, cannabis oil is a type of remove from marijuana. Such oil consists of big amounts of concentrated cannabinoids that could be orally ingested instead of smoked, protecting the medicinal substances and also permitting them to be delivered via gastrointestinal system, rather than the breathing system.
The study recommends that CBD has panacea-like residential properties, as well as in practice, this is verifying to be the instance. On August 11th, 2013, Sanjay Gupta launched a docudrama on CNN about Charlotte Figi. Charlotte is a young Dravet syndrome client that was having 300 grand mal seizures a week. No pharmaceuticals or dietary changes could do anything to minimize this number.
Charlotte’s moms and dads found out about high-CBD marijuana oil, and after essentially the first dose, Charlotte’s seizures stopped. She now has much less than three minor seizures a month. This case is absolutely nothing except remarkable, as well as it’s not separated. Dr. Margaret Gedde, a Colorado Springs medical professional, is tracking 11 new patients of the Stanely bros, the providers of Charlotte’s high-CBD medication. 9 of them have had 90-100% decreases in seizures, which again, is merely incredible.
The epileptic conditions that CBD is confirming to be reliable against are extremely complicated, and not even one of the most effective, well investigated drugs have been capable of causing any kind of healing. Yet high-CBD cannabis oil is immediately as well as potently reducing signs, with the only adverse effects being systemically helpful – more power, better discovering, enhanced actions, as well as a lot more.
It must not be shocking that outcomes like these have actually been taking place for several years. Similar to research study shows cannabinoids are therapeutically reliable against epilepsy, there is study recommending they could remove cancers cells as well as control various other major diseases. And also in technique, for epilepsy and also these other problems, the results are equating to people. People have been accurately getting rid of cancers for years and mitigating conditions like diabetes, Crohn’s, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, chronic discomfort, several sclerosis, and extra. This is as serious as it gets, and even more attention has to be given this problem.
The background of Hemp as well as it usage dates back to the Stone Age of man as hemp impressions are located in China and also Taiwan which are presumed to be over 10,000 years old. These medieval Oriental people utilized this very fiber making their household products including clothing, footwear, ropes and even paper. The Chinese are attributed for the intro of paper to the world and that initial paper that was produced consisted of hemp.
Till the 14th century hemp was the most typical product that was used for garments. Hemp garments were specifically popular in lower classes of European nations. Every village in Europe in Dark Age had an accessibility to a lot field. Furthermore, hemp garments were likewise used as battle clothes. The standard European hemp was not used as a medication because of its reduced dependency as well as numbing material. Regardless of this reality, it was still cultivated in huge amounts due to its fiber material and also traditions show that it was even utilized by Christopher Columbus for tying ropes on his ship.
The Spanish are accredited for introducing hemp to the American material as they began the farming of hemp in Chile in 1545. The farming spread and also this new, beneficial crop obtained recognition as in Might,1607 well-known historian Gabriel Archer reported to see hemp growing in Powhatan village where Richmond, Virginia currently day stands. An additional chronicler Samuel Argall additionally asserted this prevalent growing of hemp which was far better than the European variation in Upper Potomac.
In 1619, an official act of growing “Indian and also English” hemp was passed by the federal government of Virginia State. The Puritans are the very first known cultivators of hemp in New England. Famous American Head Of State George Washington and also Thomas Jefferson grew hemp on their ranches. Another daddy of the nation, Benjamin Franklin started the first American paper mill, which specifically made use of paper as its raw source.
The period of Napoleon Bonaparte and the French Revolution boosted the usage as well as production of hemp as it was a major resource of military uniforms. The basic reason that hemp was chosen over flax was its added toughness, resilience and also lower expense. These variables override the crude appearance of hemp. United States during the 2nd Globe War thoroughly used hemp as it was made use of for producing uniforms, ropes as well as canvas. Back then, Kentucky and also Midwest were the significant distributors of hemp. Hemp has actually contributed significantly to Kentucky’s economic climate and also a large location of Kentucky also today is committed for hemp hacienda as well as growing.
The hemp market was significantly influenced at the beginning of twentieth century as it saw the development of steam as well as diesel motor which blockaded the method of sea transport. As sea transportation was stopped, the need for rope drastically decreased. Creation of man-made fibers as well as synthetic fibers additionally got a decrease in the need.
Nowadays, the production of hemp is legitimately allowed yet on a smaller sized range due to the discovery of its narcotics result. The UNITED STATE Government allowed an extensive development of hemp during the Second World War to counter the production of Manila hemp which was expanded in Japanese nests during that time. An American even produced a movie on hemp which demonstrated how increased production of hemp led to American success in Globe War Two.

Emigrated Cubans in the US city of Miami, Florida, are preparing today for a debate on August 26 about the new Constitution project of their native country.
That meeting, the first of three planned for the same purpose, is sponsored by the Alianza Martiana coalition, which brings together various organizations of these people.
According to a note from the Antonio Maceo Brigade, part of the aforementioned entity, this citizen exercise constitutes an unavoidable duty for Cubans.
The government's decision to summon Cubans living abroad to express their opinions, elaborate their considerations and present them to the relevant authorities through the Internet is an inclusive action of great importance that will strengthen the present and the future of the country, said the text.
In the opinion of Ernesto Soberón, director of Consular and Cuban Affairs Resident Abroad of the island's Chancellery, this is a very important decision based on the growing number of fellow citizens abroad and the magnitude of the proposal raised.
Those who live outside the greater Antillean region have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a socialist and democratic society, guided by premises such as humanism and solidarity, Soberón told reporters earlier this month in Havana.
He stressed that this step signifies an unequivocal demonstration of the will of the Cuban Government to continue moving forward in a process begun in 1978 to strengthen ties with residents abroad.
For the first time in history, all Cubans, regardless of their geographical location, may be part of the discussions to build the country's constitution.
According to the diplomat, the call is in line with the updating of the migration policy implemented in recent years.
It is also known that of the estimated one million 400 thousand Cubans living in some 120 countries, only a minority advocates the destruction of the Revolution and the return of capitalism that prevailed before 1959, he said.
The National Assembly approved on July 22 the draft new Constitution, which will be submitted to a popular consultation until November 15 after the beginning of that process on August 13.
For residents abroad, the opportunity to issue proposals on the text will begin in the first week of September, once the technical conditions for participation have been created.
Soberón explained that the contribution of criteria of people outside Cuba will be materialized through a section enabled on the website Nation and Emigration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (http://www.nacionyemigracion.cu). | 2019-04-22T13:08:45 | http://www.ahora.cu/en/culture-en/15-section/world/2604-cubans-in-us-prepare-to-discuss-draft-constitution |

What’s your blog’s name? Any other places we can find you on (Twitter, Google+, Facebook etc)?
My own blog is Travels in a Mathematical World. I also contribute to blogs at The Aperiodical, Second-Rate Minds and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications’ blog “IMAMATHSBLOGGER” (see what they did there?).
I am on Twitter as @peterrowlett. I’m on Google+ too (though I use that much less frequently). I don’t have a Facebook account. You can also find me as one half of the Math/Maths Podcast.
Would you tell us a little bit more about yourself? E.g., Where are you coming from (both geographically and philosophically)? What is your background? Any scientific education?
I’m from Nottingham in the UK and still live there. I grew up in a village in Nottinghamshire and took a mathematics degree at the University of Nottingham. Since graduating I’ve taken a Masters in computing and worked in various maths/stats education jobs. I’m very interested in the challenge of helping people understand something new about mathematics, whether this is teaching or ‘outreach’ (writing or talking), and aspire to be a lecturer.
I had started working for the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the UK professional body for mathematicians. My job was to travel around the UK talking to university students about mathematics and their careers. As a member-led organisation, I felt it was important that the members are able to find out about what I was doing, if they choose to, and blogging seemed to be a natural way to do this.
Many of the early posts tracked my travels around the UK for the IMA, either talking about places I’d been or things that had happened to me. After a while I started releasing a podcast, also called Travels in a Mathematical World, and the blog held the shownotes for this. My ‘travels’ were always both literal and metaphorical, but latterly they have been more often the latter as I no longer work for the IMA, with posts about neat things I’ve seen online and stuff I’ve been thinking about.
Since April, Travels in a Mathematical World has become my ‘column’ on The Aperiodical. The Aperiodical aims to be a meeting-place for people who already know they like maths and would like to know more. We publish various columns, features, video and news. I have been contributing to The Aperiodical news feed, with short items covering news of interest to the mathematically-minded.
Second-Rate Minds is a kind of blogging experiment/practice for Samuel Hansen and I. We take turns to write a post that the other edits before it goes live. I’m afraid the posts aren’t as frequent there as I would like and it’s entirely my fault as I so rarely find time to write anything or edit what Samuel has written. We had a popular few posts and this puts the pressure on to write something excellent, rather than just messing around! We try to stick to a tight word limit because we think this is good practice. Theoretically, I’ve experimented with a piece giving a puzzle that’s useful for education, an opinion piece that I thought would get people going but really hasn’t, a same-day write-up of a press release and a short historical account.
Finally, I contribute to the IMA members’ blog IMAMATHSBLOGGER. This is still finding its feet but it has a list of contributors who write about things that may interest IMA members. I wrote a sort-of ramble through numerology and several posts giving brief accounts of IMA East Midlands Branch talks I had attended (the trick, of course, is to say something interesting without giving too much away – I don’t want to spoil the speaker’s talk!).
Plenty to read? I’m amazed by the volume of content that goes through the Mathblogging.org index page every day. I’d love to say I aspire to reading it all but really, there’s no way I’ll have time to catch up! And yet I meet mathematicians in the real world who are barely aware that mathematicians blog at all. Astonishing!
I really have very little time to regularly read anything. I keep an eye on Twitter and daily read one or more articles that people have posted, and I try to keep an eye on the news for The Aperiodical and Math/Maths through Twitter and a series of searches. I generally keep up with xkcd, though often in fits of two weeks at a time. I certainly try to read everything that goes through The Aperiodical, the writing Samuel puts on ACMEScience and Edmund Harriss’ Maxwell’s Demon. Inevitably, though, I fail to keep up. I like what Michael Lugo is doing with God plays dice and what Tony Mann is doing with Tony’s Maths. I’ve been trying to keep up with Keith Devlin’s MOOC experiment.
I read the most when I host a Carnival of Mathematics (new volunteer hosts welcome!). People send you their favourite blog posts and you have a decent excuse to take some time reading them!

What’s your blog’s name? Any other places (Twitter, Google+, Facebook etc) we can find you on?
The blog is unimaginatively named “Peter Cameron’s Blog“, but I use the name Cameron Counts, taken from a novel by Richard Brautigan, “The Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Western”, one of whose heroes was called Cameron. His trademark was counting things.
I don’t do Twitter etc.; I am on Facebook only because I wanted to comment on something and found I had to join and then couldn’t unjoin. I never go there! I am a bit of a technophobe really: at my age, I don’t have to apologise for this. I do run another blog, qmdiscrete.wordpress.com, for the Centre for Discrete Mathematics at my university; and I have a personal web page which has some features of a blog (such as a “photo of the month” taken on one of my walks) at www.maths.qmul.ac.uk/~pjc.
Would you tell us a little bit more about yourself? E.g., Where are you coming from (both geographically and philosophically)? What is your (scientific) background?
I’m Australian, but moved to Britain when I was 21, and am still here at the age of 65. So I am a child of the 1960s, and have kept the liberal attitude that goes with that.
I have lived in East London for the last fifteen years, quite close to where I work. This is an excellent place to live: a vibrant urban community, and with excellent transport links for when I want to get away (as, for example, when the Olympic Games were on earlier this year).
I am the sort of mathematician who is not good at delving deep; I would rather find unexpected connections between apparently unrelated fields. One of my most cited papers connected up root systems (from the theory of Lie algebras) with graph spectra.
If you divide mathematicians into discrete and continuous (prickly or gooey, as Alan Watts said), I am definitely on the discrete side.
When and how did you first discover mathematical blogs? When did you start blogging? Why did you start?
I will answer these three questions together, since it is all the same story. A few years ago the London Mathematical Society was in the middle of a heated debate over whether to merge with the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. A group of mathematicians I respected were running a blog in support of one side of the debate; when things turned nasty and lawyers were called in, they (as officers of the society) had to take their hands off, and asked me to take over as an administrator of the blog. This was all entirely new to me, so I thought I would start up my own blog first, so I could make my mistakes in private. At that stage, I really had no idea what a blog was.
Of course, I found that it was quite addictive, and was a good way of letting off steam when the bosses had done something that really annoyed me, by having a public rant about it; so I have just kept going.
More than half of what I write about is mathematics, mostly expository. If I discover a new piece of mathematics, I want to tell people about it; but I like to do expositions aimed at non-specialists, such as a series of a dozen posts about the symmetric groups. I find that these are among the most popular and long-lived of my posts; there is often one of the symmetric group series among my top ten.
As well as that, I write about the mechanics of teaching, the technology (one of my most popular posts was about how to use non-default LaTeX fonts in Beamer presentations), and the politics; and I am not averse to talking about my hobbies, such as walking, music, and poetry, from time to time.
What wouldn’t have happened to you without the internet?
Many things! One of the best things about the internet is that people I have never met, from all over the world, get in touch. Often these contacts result in meetings, joint papers, or invitations. But there are several people far away who have commented on my blog, and I regard as friends, as far as you can be friends with someone you haven’t met.
For example, the tagline on my blog, “Always busy counting, doubting every figured guess”, is the start of an abecedarian poem by JoAnne Growney; I get a warm feeling every time she posts a comment.
And there is no doubt that the internet makes mathematical collaboration much easier. I started research in the days when it was necessary to exchange letters with people in America or Australia; the letter would take a week or two and probably cross with one from my collaborator, so work was duplicated unnecessarily and everything went very slowly.
What does the internet need more of?
The problem with the internet is that content is growing faster than tools for dealing with it. Mathematicians need some permanence; our work doesn’t become obsolete for decades, maybe centuries if we are lucky. But if you search for a particular piece of content, recent papers tend to come up; they are maybe at the end of a long chain of citations from the one I am looking for.
Of course the search box will find anything on my blog, but how do you know what to look for? I have a table of contents which is meant to help fill this gap.
Most importantly, the arXiv. All the current debate about open-access and author-pays are largely irrelevant to mathematicians, since most recent papers I am looking for will be there.
It is a little hard to believe that in the early days of the web, not much more than 20 years ago, mathematicians were in the forefront of using it!
I blog at The Renaissance Mathematicus and am present on Twitter as @rmathematicus.
I’m an aging English freak who has now lived half of his life in Franconia in Germany. I have a lifelong passion for the history of science in general and the history of mathematics in particular. I originally studied archaeology, metallurgy and mathematics in Britain but dropped out after one year. I have extensive experience as a field archaeologist, theatre technician, sound technician and quite a few other things as well. In Germany I studied mathematics, philosophy, history, English philology and a couple of other things with an emphasis on the history and philosophy of science for 10+ years as a mature student but dropped out again shortly for completing my master’s degree! I spent 10 years working as a researcher in a project on the social (read external) history of formal logic, special area of research 19th century British logical algebras i.e. Boole & co.
When and how did you first discover mathematical blogs?
Maybe five or six years ago.
I started blogging three years ago.
Because somebody on whose blog I had written extensive comments and a couple of guest posts suggested it was about time that I started my own blog.
I write mostly about the history of the mathematical sciences mostly in the period between about 1400 CE and 1800 CE but I have been known to deviate quite widely.
I wouldn’t have become part of a worldwide community of people interested in practicing and propagating the history of science and my life would have been considerably intellectually poorer as a result.
The chance to find and communicate with people from all over the world who share their interests.
Vast, wide, scattered and often very random.
I have three personal blogs: profkeithdevlin.org, mooctalk.org, devlinsangle.blogspot.com, and I also blog for The Huffington Post.
I have a FB account but am not active on it.
Born and grew up in the UK, lived in US since 1987, US citizen since around 2000. BSc and PhD in mathematics, both from the UK. I’m a rationalist. I don’t state opinions for which i don’t have some fairly good supporting evidence.
The only meaningful answer is 1984, when I started to write a twice monthly column in The Guardian newspaper in the UK. The medium has changed since then, but I do the same thing.
I was asked to by the Guardian, but they asked me after I sent them in an unsolicited article they liked. I sent in that article because I noticed they almost never covered mathematics in their weekly science section.
Mathematics, pure and applied, educational uses of video games, technology, mathematics in society, mathematics education, and online education.
I would have done the same things, more or less.
the potential to reach and connect meaningfully to a large number of people, even though it will be a small percentage of the total population.
Almost all my reading (and viewing) is on the Web: primarily news outlets.
My blog’s name is “cp’s mathem-o-blog” or checkmyworking.com. I thought the domain name was very clever when I bought it but it doesn’t really work as a name for a blog. I also edit The Aperiodical and I’m on Twitter as @christianp.
I’m a postgrad mathematician from Newcastle upon Tyne in the north-east of England. My research is in group theory and computability, but I don’t do very much of it. I have Asperger’s syndrome, which probably explains a lot of my way of thinking.
I currently work in Newcastle University’s school of maths and stats as “e-learning officer”, which means I do lots of things to do with putting maths on the web for students and academics.
I think the first mathematical blog I encountered was www.mathpuzzle.com (does that count as a blog?), during my undergrad. I hadn’t seen any recreational mathematics at school and I found my degree quite boring, so it gave me a lot of ideas about what I want to do with maths.
When I started my PhD, in 2010.
To make myself write down notes about my research in an intelligible form. Hence the domain name.
Most of my posts on checkmyworking.com are either about Newcastle MathsJam, which I organise, exposition of puzzles or trivia I’ve encountered, or programmery stuff about putting maths on the web.
On The Aperiodical I collect interesting maths esoterica, do occasional round-ups of maths links I find, collect art with maths in it, and I find myself writing up an increasing number of dreary news stories.
What would have happened to you without the internet?
I’d know a lot less and I’d have a lot fewer friends, I suppose.
I don’t know if the internet needs anything. The question is really about what I’d like the internet to have, right?
Actually, The Aperiodical is my statement about what I want the internet to have more of. I’m happy to watch the world go by, though. I will waive this opportunity to ask for anything.
Far too much to list usefully.
MetaFilter, Images des Mathématiques, NOTCOT.org, Google+ is great for watching real mathematicians talk, Slashdot (only the neckbeards are left! It’s tolerable now!) and lots and lots of Twitter. Turismo matemático is a lovely little blog that I think I might be the only person following.

Hangana Seafood products are manufactured to the most stringent standards, and our business processes are in full compliance with the HACCP, ISO 22000 and British Retail Consortium’s Global Standard for Food Safety standards and requirements.
Inbound material transported by the vessel is rigorously inspected, and constant and comprehensive quality control examinations are performed on in-process products. Final product tests/inspections and laboratory analyses are carried out to guarantee full compliance with customer specifications and the relevant export country’s demands, in addition to ensuring the chemical and microbiological safety of the product in question. Heavy metal tests are also undertaken to ensure that levels are harmless and acceptable from a consumption point of view.
We also procure our packaging material from reputable suppliers so that we can guarantee dimensions and artwork that are accurate and constant. We manage the risk of chemical migration to the product via supplier analyses that are performed. Suppliers are assessed so that their service and quality are always under review. All our packaging material arrives to us with a Certificate of Analyses, and is scrutinised upon arrival, allowing us to make sure that zero non-conforming stock makes its way to the manufacturing hall, thereby degrading production efficiency.
The quality of our operations is further optimised by the host of systems, policies and procedures we have put in place. Internal and external audits are performed on quality systems – HACCP, ISO 22000 and BRC. The HACCP plan is revisited each year. The point of all these measures is to uncover and address potential problem areas early on so that our stringent quality standards remain uncompromised.
Hangana Seafood was the winner of the SADC Quality Product of the year award in 2014 in the Product of the Year Large Enterprise segment. The SADC Annual Quality Awards acknowledge and honour businesses and people who are promoting quality advancement in every sector within the SADC region.
According to HACCP at Hangana Seafood: “From a quality perspective, the award represents the fact that we are celebrated in the industry because of our dedication to the manufacturing of a product that is absolutely safe and of an unwavering high quality.
The prestigious awards were presented to the winners at a gala awards dinner held on 19 March 2014 at the Gaborone International Conference Centre, and the Namibian Standards Institution (NSI) - the main Namibian coordinator of the event – enthusiastically declared Hangana Seafoods the winner of the coveted award in the aforementioned category. | 2019-04-20T06:30:24 | https://hangana.com/index.php/about-us/quality |

I wrote this poem thinking about how girls always have a hard time accepting themselves and feeling great in their bodies because of all those images from social media. We always look for ways to make ourselves look better or meet a certain beauty standard. Sometimes it's the way we cope with the pain and all. I just wanted to say that we should all believe in ourselves because we are all beautiful and capable; there's no need to uphold someone else's standard. | 2019-04-25T04:31:10 | https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/beauty-11 |

The labour of the two men in Log-cutting in the Woods, set within a rich landscape, exemplifies Watson’s belief in the ideal relationship between human beings and nature: one of respectful interdependence. They harvest timber from the forest, but do so without endangering the ongoing health of the natural world.
This was one of eleven landscapes that he showed at the 1894 Spring Exhibition of the Art Association of Montreal (now the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts), where it won the $100 prize for the best seascape or landscape in the show. | 2019-04-25T22:39:55 | https://www.aci-iac.ca/online-exhibitions/close-to-home-homer-watsons-canadian-landscape-painting/gallery/17353 |
Empathy and sympathy are two very similar words that have related meanings. They both have to do with understanding someone else’s feelings. That being said, you have to focus on one versus the other when it comes to making offers.
Zig went on a sales call where he was met at the door by a small-town country farmer in overalls. Zig was invited in and was allowed to do a demo of the Saladmaster cookware. Zig went on to show the man how this cookware was going to cut down on food prep time and increase the nutritional value of their food. He also demonstrated how it was made from the finest materials.
Zig started to reminisce about how he grew up poor on a farm on the outskirts of Yazoo City, Missouri. He thought about how it felt to get up in the middle of the night to run through rain and snow to use the restroom in his families outhouse.
As he rejoined the conversation, he told the farmer that he knew exactly how the farmer felt. Zig thanked him for inviting him in, excused himself and left.
Later on, Zig learned that the farmer had wanted the cookware and would’ve financed it had Zig offered. He also learned that the farmer was mad at Zig for not trying to make the sale.
According to Zig, sympathy means you feel the way another person feels, whereas empathy means you understand how the other person feels, but you stay objective. In this case, Zig could feel what it felt like to use an outhouse and be exposed to the elements. This affected his performance, and consequently, his sympathy caused him to not even try to close the sale.
This week, I almost lost us a deal because of a similar scenario. We had a young family in our office who needed needing us to make them an offer — and fast.
They had told me what they were wanting to get out of the place. I wrote the numbers on the board, trying to figure out a way to make it work as their kids played on the floor. You see, I’m a sucker for kids. I just love them. And in my heart, I saw some kids with parents that were going through financial difficulty, which was something I knew very well when I was younger. Some old feelings came up, and it was affecting my objectivity.
I just couldn’t see a way to get to a number anywhere close to what they were asking for.
And right as I was about to say, “We can’t help you.” Ashley piped up and made them an offer. The parents lit up. The offer Ashley made was exactly what they needed.
You see, Ashley understands what financial hardship is like from a kid’s perspective as well. But instead of just remembering those feelings, she used them to see a solution. That’s what empathy is.
Because of Ashley, we made a deal and got those kids into a better situation. Had she not been there, the limitations my sympathy was putting on my mind would’ve caused me to fail those children.
That’s why it’s important to know the difference between sympathy and empathy. Make sure you’re empathetic! You will help more people that way.
Great article. I would have loved to have read the structure that Ashley put together.
Y’all are a great team.
Ashley offered them $5,000 cash, gave them a move out date of their choice, and we bought their house subject-to their existing mortgage. It was a win-win. Their two motivations were they needed money for a storage building and deposits to get into a rental. They got both. Not only did they get the money they needed to move (with some to boot) but they also got time to move. Which was huge. We got a great house, prior to auction mind you, that we can fix up and resale. Because it is a subject-to, we have a safer deal that called for little out of pocket, plus we didn’t have to compete at auction to acquire it. Ashley made this into a great win-win deal! | 2019-04-23T18:10:18 | https://cashflowwithjoe.com/empathy-versus-sympathy |
Tom Brokaw says he did not intend for this “rough draft” of a letter to be widely read.
Brokaw, the former anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” is one of the country’s best-known journalists. He is currently a special correspondent for NBC News. He feels his reputation is being besmirched. And he believes he is the real victim.
“She has unleashed a torrent of unsubstantiated criticism and attacks on me more than twenty years after I opened the door for her and a new job at Fox News,” Brokaw said in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by CNNMoney.
“I was groped and assaulted by Tom Brokaw, then the anchor of ‘NBC Nightly News,'” Vester said in a video interview with Variety.
Brokaw’s Friday letter asserted that he played a key role in introducing Vester to Fox News boss Roger Ailes, who later hired her.
“When he got in trouble on sexual matters, not a peep from this woman,” Brokaw wrote. Ailes, who passed away last year, left Fox News in 2016 amid sexual harassment allegations that he repeatedly denied.
But he said he “did not verbally and physically attack her” as described in the interviews. | 2019-04-21T12:02:47 | https://wtvr.com/2018/04/27/brokaw-calls-accusers-statements-a-drive-by-shooting/?shared=email&msg=fail |
As you know there are some really hard-working bees out there to test our files week by week with enthusiasm, accuracy and creativity.Some of them supporting us since years. This friendships have grown up, although we never met personally each other due to the distance we are living in.
Time by time I am getting surprised by an extra parcel. I love this.
Last week I got one by Jan, who is one of my testers.
One of my favourite fabrics… But what is it???
I opened the zipper and it became clear.
How did you know, dear Jan, that I am throwing my sewing utensils just into a bag when travelling.
Now I don’t have any excuses anymore. Everything I need goes in here.
I already told you about my first steps in DIY Beauty. Of course I dind not stop after the first trials. So I tossed and slobbered around the last days.
Again the translator will quit here, as this field is too strange for me, sorry. May I ask you again to refer to google for a translation: Google translate.
3 g Avokadoöl (das habe ich “Vom Fass”, Ihr bekommt es aber auch z.B. bei Behawe), 3 g Arganöl, auch von Behawe unterühren.
as you know me I always tend to try new things from time to time.
Last year I tryed the cup cakes and it was really nice looking and tasty.
But since son and husband refused to eat that much sweet things, so there was nobody to make glad with my creations.
So it was time for a new hobby.
Sewing, embroidering, there is nothing to tell you, it became my obsession.
Biking is just theory, because I am learning for the license.
So this post deals with my findings and my first creations.
Since it is hard to translate to English I leave it to you to you Google translator or the dictionary of your choice. | 2019-04-19T16:34:17 | http://blog.stickbaer.de/en/themen/beauty-diy-en/ |
By utilizing current technology and providing respite in the rural farmland of central Alberta, Canada, iRecover Alberta brings traditional, proven drug addiction help into the 21st century. In a relaxing residential program that offers each individual a private single room, iRecover Alberta drug addiction treatment center and alcohol rehab program provides tablet computers to all its clients as a means of equipping them with educational materials, workbooks and videos needed in recovery. The tablet computer also serves as an aftercare tool after completing their treatment program.
In a gradual transformation from its origin, iRecover Alberta has taken full advantage of buildings surrounded by farmland to create a hotel-like drug addiction help center where participants are likely to notice deer scampering through the surrounding acreage or hear cows mooing as they graze in the neighboring meadows. Participants meet together for classroom experiences and group therapies during the day, and they take part in communal meals. They have the comfort of a private suite, with a bathroom included, for individual study and quiet time. The iRecover Alberta main building has 27 rooms on one side and 5 detox rooms in another area. iRecover Alberta is accredited by CARF, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, which means treatment meets the highest level of quality care standards. Available major airports to access our addiction treatment center are Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer.
What if I need Government Funded treatment instead? | 2019-04-21T22:47:33 | https://www.irecover.ca/irecover-alberta.html |
The guidance, drawn up by the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych), focuses on patients with severe mental illness and on four ‘red-flag’ scenarios, including where concerns have been raised by families and carers or where patients have experienced psychosis or had an eating disorder.
To ensure any opportunities for learning are not missed, trusts are also encouraged to review a sample of other patients’ deaths, such as those with dementia.
But concerns were raised over the handling of other patient deaths in 2015 after it emerged that in the case of one trust, Southern Health, more than 1,000 patients with learning disabilities or mental health problems over four years had not been properly investigated. The probe followed the death of teenager Connor Sparrowhawk, who had autism.
RCPsych has now drawn up national guidance, which is made up of a Care Review Tool and guidance on how to use it, for the first time at the request of NHS England.
Dr Adrian James, the College’s Registrar, who has been closely involved in the year-long project, said: “This is a really important piece of work.
“Around 2.5 million people are in contact with secondary mental health, learning disabilities and autism services each year and the deaths of many patients will be unconnected to the care they received.
“But it is crucial that ways of improving services are learned from patients’ deaths. Our guidance offers those services a great opportunity to do exactly that.
Liaison psychiatrist Dr Elena Baker-Glenn, from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, led on the development of the Care Review Tool, which is a two-stage process and involves filling out a form.
Section one of the form, which should be filled in soon after the patient’s death, includes their details and the four ‘red-flag’ scenarios which should prompt further investigation.
Thousands of people in contact with mental health trusts die each year, with many of those deaths unconnected to the care they received. So a trust will not be expected to review all patients’ deaths; instead they are advised to look at those which meet the essential criteria as well as reviewing a sample of other deaths.
The guidance has proved incredibly successful at trusts involved in the pilot project.
Professor Wendy Burn, RCPsych President and an old-age psychiatrist at LYPFT, said: “I was really impressed with how using the guidance identified potential issues with how we look after our patients.
“It highlighted areas where we could improve the care we give.
Another trust, Mersey Care, found that the guidance much more quickly identified the patients’ deaths which most warranted review. By using it, it took only around 40 hours of dedicated time a month to identify those cases compared to around 100 hours a month under their old system.
Minister for Care Caroline Dinenage said: “Each preventable death is a tragedy and we must learn from every one.
“This new guidance will equip trusts with the tools to more quickly identify areas of improvement, provide more support for families and implement changes to better care for people with severe mental health conditions.
The Care Review Tool and the guidance for using it is published here.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson is back on top in his 2018 re-election bid against Republican Gov. Rick Scott according to a new survey from Public Policy Polling.
The poll found 48 percent of Florida voters want the longtime Senator to get a fourth term, while 46 percent of voters said they wanted to send Scott from Tallahassee to Washington. The remainder of those polled said they were unsure who they would vote for come November.
The PPP results show a change-up from the last several rounds of polling in the high-profile U.S. Senate race. Earlier this month, a poll from the pro-Scott Florida Chamber of Commerce put the two-term Governor in the lead, 48-45 percent. Last month, a poll out of Florida Atlantic University produced similar results, showing Scott with a 44-40 percent lead.
Part of the shift in the new poll could be due to who it says will show up on Election Day — 40 percent of those polled were Democrats, 39 percent were Republicans and the remaining 21 percent were unaffiliated or third-party voters.
By race, the sample was 70 percent white, 12 percent Hispanic and 12 percent black. Nearly half of those polled were between 45 and 65 years of age, while voters over 65 made up a third and younger voters accounted for 20 percent.
The survey also measured voters’ views of Nelson and Scott, finding Nelson slightly above water on favorability, 42-41 percent, and Scott a tad beneath, 44-46 percent.
When it comes to President Donald Trump, whose presence is expected to loom large over the U.S. Senate contest and others, respondents narrowly voted for him over Hillary Clinton two years ago but now say they find him unfavorable by a 4-point margin, 45-49 percent, with 5 percent unsure.
The automated phone poll was commissioned by Democratic consultant Christian Ulvert of EDGE Communications. It was conducted June 18-19 and took 1,308 responses from Florida voters across the state’s 10 media markets. | 2019-04-18T10:39:30 | http://floridapolitics.com/archives/266968-poll-bill-nelson-holds-slim-lead-over-rick-scott |
Hassocks kicked off a new season and a new era at the Beacon by drawing 1-1 with Broadbridge Heath in their opening game of the Southern Combination League Premier Division season.
A crowd of 104 turned out to see Mark Dalgleish take sole charge of the Robins for the first time following Phil Wickwar's decision to sand down as joint manager.
It was one of those new signings, Liam Benson, who scored the Hassocks goal, tucking away a 70th minute penalty after Jack Wilkins had been felled in the box. That was cancelled out by Devon Fender's equaliser 10 minutes before time for Heath.
Both Benson and Alex Spinks have returned to the Beacon from Lancing while Alex Harris is back in goal after a short spell with Ringmer. The fourth new face to start was defender Dan Webster, formerly of Burgess Hill Town and signed from Horsham YMCA.
The Robins' most eye catching signing of the summer wasn't present here. Phil Johnson has also returned from YM after three goal-studded seasons at Gorings Mead since he left Hassocks in the summer of 2015.
Johnson was ruled out of this one through injury but the acquisition of him and Benson, both of whom featured in the Premier Division's golden boot chart last season, should help ensure that Hassocks manage more than the 38 goals they scored last time out which left them as the second lowest scorers in the division.
It was Heath who started the better of the two sides with Stuart Chester's pace and crossing ability and Fender's presence giving Harris and his back four of Harry Mills, Webster, Jordan Badger and Bradley Bant plenty to think about.
Fender had the first clear cut chance of the game when a lovely through ball from Lee Carney put him clear but he dragged his shot just wide of the post.
After weathering the storm, Spencer Slaughter and Matt Berridge began to give Hassocks some control in midfield and the impressive Jake Lindsey drew a save from Heath's new goalkeeper Mark Fox with a long range effort.
Spinks then found Benson with a visionary pass and Benson showed good strength to barge one-time Hassocks defender Glen Woodburn off the ball to leave himself one-on-one with Fox. Remarkably, referee Robert King awarded a free kick to Heath, much to the annoyance of everyone in red.
The last chance of the first half came when Hassocks failed to clear a corner with the ball eventually falling just outside the area to Marlon Maxwell but his brilliant connection was only rewarded with the shot flying just over the bar.
Neither side seemed to have played to their potential in the first half with the main talking point being not about any of the new signings on the pitch, but the addition of Dark Fruits cider to the bar which went down a treat with supporters.
Hassocks were quickest out the blocks in the second half with Wilkins causing trouble down the right flank, his pull back finding Spinks who drew another comfortable save from Fox.
Heath then had the best chance of the game, Ben Hands delivering a superb cross right onto the head of Fender but his powerful head was wonderfully kept out by the reflexes of Harris.
That save seemed to galvanise the Robins and Benson and the outstanding Berridge both went close to beat Fox before Spinks put the ball into the penalty area and just as Wilkins was about to pull the trigger, he was clumsily bundled over by Woodburn.
Mr King pointed straight to the spot and Benson made no mistake with the spot kick, beating Fox with ease to give the Robins the lead.
It was all Hassocks after that with Benson the centre of attention. He breezed his way into the box but instead of shooting, opted for the unselfish pass to Wilkins who was slightly off balance and as a result couldn't hit the target.
Heath equalised shortly after with a real sucker punch. Scott Weller delivered a defence splitting pass to Fender who used his strength and pace to blast through and smash home an equaliser for 1-1.
Hassocks made a double change in response as Dan Stokes and Harvey Blake, the fifth new face on the day having signed from Mid Sussex Premier Division side Sporting Lindfield, took to the field.
Blake had a lively cameo in his first 10 minutes in senior football. He was denied a debut goal by an excellent save from Fox after Wilkins had broken down the wing to cross and Blake then turned provider with a marauding run down the flank from which he found Benson but the Hassocks striker couldn't get the sort of connection he was looking for and it resulted in a comfortable save for Fox.
That was the final chance of the game with a draw just about the right result. There were certainly plenty of positives to take for the Robins ahead of a stern test against one of the title favourites, Chichester City on Tuesday night.
Hassocks: Alex Harris; Harry Mills, Jordan Badger, Dan Wesbter, Bradley Bant; Jack Wilkins, Spencer Slaughter, Matt Berridge, Jake Lindsey; Alex Spinks; Liam Benson.
Subs: Dan Stokes, Harvey Blake (used). | 2019-04-19T02:16:51 | https://www.midsussextimes.co.uk/sport/football/new-era-at-hassocks-starts-with-a-draw-1-8591545 |
Harsh sentencing laws of the 1980s and ’90s have resulted in a U.S. prison population that is increasingly aged. According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), care of elderly prisoners is placing a heavy burden on state and federal institutions. Elderly prisoners cost nearly twice as much to provide for as regular prisoners, and yet older prisoners who are released are significantly less likely to recommit crimes.
On Wednesday, the ACLU released “At America’s Expense: The Mass Incarceration of the Elderly,” a report examining the mushrooming number of prisoners in the U.S. over 50 and the resultant stresses exerted on the corrections system and on our society as a whole. The civil rights group said that states on average could save $66,000 per year for each elderly prisoner they release from the system.
According to the report, there are about 246,000 elderly prisoners in the U.S. (and, because incarcerated people age more quickly than people on the outside, over 50 is considered elderly in this study), a number that is only growing. By 2030, these older inmates will constitute more than a third of the incarcerated population.
ACLU economist William Bunting estimates that on average, each prisoner costs the state approximately $34,135 of taxpayer money per year to house. An elderly prisoner costs $66,270, nearly twice as much. Bunting estimates that by releasing non-violent elderly prisoners, the corrections system could save up to $16 billion annually.
Evidence shows that elderly people are significantly less likely to break the law. “In 2009, just over two percent of individuals between the ages of 50 and 54 were arrested, and virtually no one 65 or older was arrested. As a national average, just five to 10 percent of aging prisoners return to prison for any new crime,” said the press release accompanying the report.
Cain, Esman, the ACLU and the State of Louisiana have instituted one of the first parole boards dedicated to elderly prisoners. Louisiana currently boasts the highest number of incarcerated citizens of any state in the union. In 2011, a state parole board began to hear cases of elderly inmates petitioning for release. | 2019-04-22T10:48:11 | https://www.rawstory.com/2012/06/aclu-u-s-is-paying-dearly-for-elderly-inmates/ |

A top editor at the Ming Pao newspaper in Hong Kong was sacked after the daily ran a front-page report on the Panama Papers. The story linked politicians and businessmen from the semi-autonomous region to the controversial accounting practices of Mossack Fonseca.
The sacking has infuriated the staff of the newspaper and journalists' unions alike. Employees of the Ming Pao newspaper rallied behind its now-sacked executive chief editor Keung Kwok-yuen, the No.2 editor in the newsroom, after he was fired. The news outlet's management said his removal was intended as a cost-cutting measure.
The Chinese-language paper, owned by Malaysian pro-Beijing businessman Tiong Hiew King, was among the dozens of newspapers around the world who jointly reported on millions of leaked documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. The disclosures shed light on how rich and powerful people across the globe hide their wealth, potentially to avoid paying taxes.
A staff union at the Ming Pao daily expressed "extreme dissatisfaction and anger" at Keung's sudden dismissal. The employees insisted the paper owes an explanation to its readers regarding the matter and protested outside the offices.
"The Association thinks that the incident was unclear, [we] question whether the company was using the reason of 'saving resources' on the surface, but actually punishing staff members who have different opinions on editorial issues," said the Ming Pao Staff Association. Keung has not yet reacted to the incident.
Journalist unions have also said the veteran editor's abrupt removal from the office signals it was politically motivated. A joint statement issued by eight journalist unions read: "If a journalist as moderate and professional as Mr Keung cannot be tolerated, what does it say about the press freedom of Hong Kong? We are deeply disturbed and worried."
Hong Kong, a former British colony, remains a thorny issue for China, which fears the territory is gradually slipping out of its control. In recent years, there has also been a growing dissent against Beijing's influence in Hong Kong affairs. | 2019-04-20T00:24:45 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/hong-kong-press-freedom-under-fire-top-news-editor-sacked-after-panama-papers-report-1555985 |

Working with the Rail North Partnership, to support a growing railway in the north, Porterbrook and train operator Northern, part of the Arriva Group, are jointly developing a highly innovative rolling stock concept.
Porterbrook Leasing is pleased to announce that it has committed to deliver to Northern, a variant of a Class 319 electric train which is able to operate seamlessly over electrified and non-electrified routes, spreading the benefits of electrification to more rail users. The project is supported by Rail North, representing local authorities in the north of England.
The Class 319 Flex concept is designed to create a bi-mode train by fitting two diesel powered alternators, one under each of the driving trailer cars. The diesel alternators provide power to the existing traction and auxiliary equipment to allow the EMU to operate without an overhead or 3rd rail supply. The systems will provide power through the train’s DC bus, avoiding any significant changes to the existing equipment and creating a unit capable of operating from a number of different power sources whilst maintaining its full capabilities on electrified routes.
From inception, the concept for the Class 319 Flex was developed to minimise alterations to the existing vehicle design, and hence kept the cost of conversion to an attractive level. The design also has provision to cater for a range of operations, either as an alternative to existing DMUs or offering more performance if required through the fitment of additional batteries for non-electrified operations.
Concept design work is now complete and work has started with Wabtec/Brush on the detailed design phase of the project.
The first units will be in passenger service with Northern by spring 2018 and from then on will be available to a wide range of operators who will be able to make full use of electrically powered rolling stock on partially electrified routes. | 2019-04-24T02:02:16 | https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/news/latest-news/1046-flex-trains-on-the-way |
Ump, Ref, Coach, Scout leader, all terms usually associated with men involved with children. Men are expected to fill these roles the same way that their dads, uncles and grandfathers did in previous generations.
Male involvement in these activities that affect children in positive ways is great, but it is not enough. Men need to understand that their involvement should not end at the sidelines on the weekend or at the edge of the woods during a camping trip. Men need to understand how important their role in the education of their children.
Most of the time the most engaged male is ‘dad’, but still not as often as should be. Many kids are raised without a positive male role model in the house, and it is the kids who suffer. There are many reasons for an absent father figure from separation/divorce, travel for work, military deployment, illness, death, and many others. Grandparents, uncles, brothers and neighbors are stepping in, and it does make a difference.
Numerous studies find that an active and nurturing style of fathering is associated with better verbal skills, intellectual functioning and academic achievement among adolescents.
Local PTAs have not only the ability, but have the responsibility to educate dads, grandpas, uncles and others on the importance of their involvement in education. Make parent involvement and PTA relevant to men by connecting it to their children’s success in school and in life. Share with men the many benefits of family engagement.
Improves relationships between parents and school personnel.
Many men involved in the PTA started the way that I did, going to the meetings my wife could not make with her schedule. Others started as seat fillers to get a quorum at a meeting for a vote that was important to someone. No matter how we started going to the meetings we learned that the PTA is not just a club that does bake sales and holiday decorating.
Getting the men in the door is just the first step. Keeping men involved in the process requires a little more. Meetings need to be planned out, with an agenda that is easy to follow and to the point. A debate over colors of table cloths at a function should not take over a general meeting where the more important matters are to be discussed. Meetings that run too long because of details are a major reason why men do not return.
PTA has come a long way from where it was started as a women’s organization. In the past few years we have even had two male National PTA presidents and more men are getting involved every day.
Most male PTA members say they joined PTA to work to improve their schools for the benefit of their children. Tell prospective members that they can do the same.
Emphasize that getting involved in PTA does not necessarily involve a large time commitment. Men may indicate that time is a barrier to their joining PTA. Let them know there are no volunteer requirements when joining, but that their membership helps support the programs and work of your PTA. As they discover the value of PTA and their involvement, men will be more likely to volunteer.
Organizations in the PTA MORE® (Men Organized to Raise Engagement) alliance are dedicated to raising the level of engagement between children and the important men in their lives. Coalition members of PTA MORE serve as a conduit for greater father and significant male involvement, resulting in positive outcomes and successful relationships for children, parents, schools and communities.
Increase the visibility and outreach of the quality programming of the coalition members. | 2019-04-26T12:41:16 | https://nyspta.org/home/membership/maleengagement/ |
Pandora, the jewelry brand's, new ad with the tag line “All women are unique,” created an ad that captures the unique and magical bond between a mother and her child perfectly.
The adorable and heart-warming advertisement titled The Unique Connection," was uploaded to the official Pandora Youtube channel on April 13 and has already been viewed over half a million times. The ad shows an experiment of six mothers and their children. The children were blindfolded and guided towards the group of women, their mothers, who stand in a line while only using their senses the children are asked to identify his or her mother.
Through hand holding, taps on shoulders and a few quick hugs, the children are able to recognize their moms each time. The moms are understandably overcome with emotion, some crying and others tightly hugging their little ones. | 2019-04-21T08:56:16 | http://www.youandi.com/watch-heartwarming-advert-pandora |
I had to miss a screening of Isn't It Romantic (watch the trailer here) last night because my boyfriend's got a bad cold and I had to take care of him -- so the answer to the question is yes, yes I am romantic -- but that's okay because apparently Liam Hemsworth himself was also sick and missed the premiere last night. You guys... has Liam Hemsworth been my boyfriend all this time and I just... never noticed? Even more existentially troubling -- does that mean I have been Miley Cyrus all this time and never noticed? Now I'm afraid to look in a mirror - what if Miley is looking back at me?

I feel like it’s been two weeks non-stop and I’m getting bored of it now; it’s hard enough to motivate yourself over the Christmas period (what with catching up with friends and family, another after eight “just one more” and that magically refilling glass). When it’s raining and there’s more fun to be had inside you start to go into hibernation mode – I am trying my hardest to fight those instincts!
When the weather is nice you want to go out and make the most of it, so how do you keep motivated when you don’t want to get outside because the weather is foul? That was a question I posed on Twitter and the responses were quite interesting; some replied with the finish (a hot cuppa afterwards was very popular), some with being able to enjoy any food they want, some said they did indoor activities instead, whilst others said removing the Christmas weight, but my favourite answer had to be for fun.
Everyone seems to treat doing exercise as a chore.
When we treat it like that it’s bound to lose the fun isn’t it? But then when we have such busy lives and sitting down and doing nothing seems to be a rare treat, so how else would you end up looking at it? We seem to have forgotten that as kids going to the park and running around was recreational, fun time. I used to spend hours on my bike, or playing ‘it’. It was actually fun to get out of breath. That was how we socialised. We may be more sensible adults now but did exercise have to stop being fun?
I often go for runs, with friends; I have a training bike ride lined up, with friends; I go climbing, with friends; I sometimes do these things on my own as well but they’re still fun. And sometimes admittedly you do something and it’s not so fun because it was wet, because you got cold or because your knee started hurting. But I always feel it’s worth doing it in the end.
I want to challenge myself because I think doing so will be fun and rewarding; I’m doing all of my challenges, at present, with friends because the experiences will be worth sharing; and if anytime I can’t convince myself that running in the wet and cold is going to be fun, I can always jump into the puddles like a kid and get my friends and myself muddy, because that will definitely be fun! | 2019-04-18T14:49:40 | http://ramblingwanderer.weebly.com/blog/to-do-or-not-to-do |

Reflexology is an ancient therapy that has been practised for over 5000 years.
Did you know that the feet have 26 bones and over 7,000 nerve endings called reflexes. It is these reflexes that correspond to every organ and system within your body.
Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary therapy and is based on the theory that by applying gentle pressure to these reflex points, stimulates the nervous system and opens the energy pathways that may be blocked or congested.
By working on these reflex points Reflexology helps to aid relaxation and reduces the negative effects of stress on the body, helping to improve overall well-being.
A Reflexology treatment aims to restore the body’s natural balance. In this busy world we spend a lot of time on our feet and our feet take a daily pounding and this impact is felt throughout the whole body.
Reflexology can be enjoyed and be of help to men, women and children of all ages.

At 3 a.m. (Beijing time) on Monday, during the 32nd night of a vigil of Christians guarding their church cross, about 400 police officers attempted to forcibly remove the cross of ShuiTou Salvation Church in Pingyang, Wenzhou City.
Police beat Christians with iron batons, severely injuring at least four. Bloody pictures and videos of riots from the incident are circulating on China’s social network. Local Christians reported that 1,000 Christians formed a human blockade and guarded the church and that even though the police retreated after a one-hour attack, the Christians remain ready for continuous attacks from the government.
The ongoing anti-church campaign in Zhejiang Province has seen more than 360 churches completely or partially demolished under the guise of "removing or modifying illegal constructions." In a news release International Christian Concern (ICC) reported, and later The New York Times corroborated, that religious buildings have been targeted at the exclusion of all others.
Since 9 p.m. on Sunday, police started to harass churches close to ShuiTou Salvation Church in Pingyang County, Wenzhou City. At 3 a.m. the next day, the police suddenly concentrated its force to attack ShuiTou Salvation Church itself. A local contact told ICC that while it was unclear how many Christians were injured, at least four were severely injured, two of whom were transferred to the First Provincial Wenzhou Hospital of Zhejiang.
"We will continue to guard our church cross to the end," said a local co-worker of Pingyang County. "We divide people into two groups and take turns to guard the church through the night."
ICC heard from local Christians that local government officials are even "competing" to be the champion of removing church crosses for the purpose of bolstering their own political careers.
"Guarding the church cross that is not against any law, Christians are publicly harassed by government officials," said a local Christian.
Faced with repeated injustice from the Chinese government’s massive anti-church campaign for months, three Christians, Zhan Yingsheng, Zhang Zhi, and Ye Wanjing, issued three public letters on July 16 with farewell notes, claiming that they are ready to die for their faith if necessary. Ye Wanjing wrote: "I am not going to die for the physical cross on my church and, to be honest, I rarely paid attention to the physical cross on the top of the building. However, faced with injustice, my conscience of being a Christian pressured me to do my responsibility. I hope to learn more about Jesus Christ’s calling of ‘die to myself.’"
"My heart is bleeding when I see hundreds of church crosses fall one by one in Zhejiang Province," Ye Wanjing wrote. "Facing the fierce attack, my co-workers and I do not have confidence that we are able to guard the church cross from being demolished; as an individual, I pray that the Lord gives me the will to be a martyr."
"I have packed clothes and toiletries, ready to go to prison anytime," Zhang Zhi wrote in the public letter. "I have told my wife and parents. Even though they are worried, they understand."
ICC’s Regional Manager for Southeast Asia, Sooyoung Kim, said, "Zhejiang provincial authorities have carefully planned and carried out their systematic attack against Christianity and churches. We call on the government of China in the strongest possible terms to immediately stop the anti-church campaign that hurts its own people’s heart. The world needs a peaceful China that respects human dignity and freedom of religions."
05/22/2014 Zhejiang Province, China (International Christian Concern) – On April 28th, Zhejiang province officials bulldozed the 4,000-seat Sanjiang Christian Church in Wenzhou City despite a weeks-long protest involving hundreds of Christian attendees who formed a human chain around the church. What appeared to be an isolated event, has on further investigation by International Christian Concern (ICC) been revealed to be a widespread and massive anti-church crackdown with 64 churches in Zhejiang Province alone having been destroyed and/or their crosses (or steeples) torn down. ChinaAid is reporting that authorities once tore down 50 crosses in one day in Wenzhou City. Another 85 house churches recently received government orders to stop gathering and may face closure by the government by the end of May.
The wave of church and cross demolitions occurred after Xia Baolong, the Communist Party secretary of Zhejiang Province, conducted an inspection tour of the province earlier this year and was disturbed by a forest of crosses in the skyline and the number of large church buildings that host thousands of worshippers. “He found the cross on top of BaiXi Christian Church too ‘conspicuous’,” according to an ICC contact.
The “anti-church” campaign has been carried out under the vague provisions of urban development and beautification laws. The stated intent of the campaign was to "aggressively demolish illegal buildings in accordance with the law." However, ICC’s investigation has revealed that even government-approved churches are facing demolition or cross removal such as the forcible removal of the cross on the steeple of BaiXi Christian Church in Wenzhou City on May 6, 2014.
Sooyoung Kim, ICC’s Regional Manager for East Asia, said, “Xia Baolong, the local provincial party secretary, is blatantly undermining China’s carefully crafted human rights image presented to the international community as he continues to implement his anti-church campaign to limit religious freedom and the gathering of Christians. He has ignored the desperate pleas of thousands of his own citizens, and the glare and condemnation of the international media spotlight.

Government authorities in southeast China are continuing what local church leaders call a campaign against Christianity — knocking down crosses and razing sanctuaries at dozens of churches in the Zhejiang province.
Christianity has grown so rapidly, it’s viewed as a threat by the Communist government, according to Kellogg Faculty Fellow Lionel Jensen, associate professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Notre Dame.
According to Jensen, China is breaking its own laws.
Officials have questioned church members about their employment and their children’s schooling, implying that jobs and education might be at risk, and they are citing building code violations.
“These attempts to employ bizarre quasi-legal technicalities reflect very real concern by lower-level government operatives who see the expansive physical presence of Protestant and Catholic practitioners in cities like Wenzhou (called ‘China’s Jerusalem’) as a threat to order and stability,” Jensen says. “They act in violation of the constitution because they are well aware that the central government will not punish them.
“What is really interesting in this last year of stepped-up religious repression,” Jensen says, “is the persistent energetic reaction by the faithful and by civil rights lawyers to resist the persecution and call the government to task for its responsibility in denying the public a guaranteed right. The opposition is not anonymous; it is vociferous and energetically assertive — a development that does not bode well for social stability while ensuring the escalation of lawful protest and civil disobedience." | 2019-04-20T06:54:36 | https://thingsthatlurkinthedark.wordpress.com/category/christian-persecution/ |
