To D or not to D...?
I’m not a supplement girl. No protein shakes, no fish oil pills, not even vitamins. I strongly believe that people should get their nutrients from food. REAL FOOD.
But...I am willing to compromise (a teensy bit) on one. Vitamin D. And only in very special instances.
Vitamin D is SO HOT right now and I am particularly partial to this vitamin du jour. In the lab, I research how Vitamin D interacts with muscle and exercise. In addition to benefits seen with training, there is a plethora of research investigating other incredibly positive effects of Vitamin D on other tissues - intestine (may help IB), immune cells (protects against the flu), pancreas (to aid prevention of Type I Diabetes AND treatment of Type II Diabetes), and most well known in bone (prevents osteoporosis by increasing Calcium absorption).
You need Vitamin D. It is essential. But unlike other other essential nutrients (which you have to eat) your body can actually make Vitamin D. A certain form of cholesterol (yes, cholesterol…not all of it is bad) goes to your skin, where it can be zapped by UVB rays from the sun, converting it to Vitamin D.
Unfortunately, many things can block this conversion. Sunscreen has been the scapegoat lately. But, for anyone that lives at Northern latitudes (typically North of about Virginia), you are 100% unable to make any Vitamin D between the months of November and March (even in our current tropical January…). Because of the angle of the earth to the sun, the wavelength of light that hits your skin to make the cholesterol conversion is totally blocked. Literally, you could dance naked on the streets of Boston in December and not make a drop of Vitamin D! Bummer.
The only way to make up this winter deficit is to either eat food with more Vitamin D or take a supplement. My MAJOR recommendation is to eat foods high in (or fortified with) Vitamin D.
So, you can see it is actually pretty easy to get your daily Vitamin D within your diet! In fact, all of these REAL FOOD items provide other fantastic health benefits as well through naturally occurring micronutrients - omega-3 fatty acids, Calcium, Vitamin C, Magnesium and Zinc. However, if you have milk allergies or don’t eat fish, you MAY need a supplement (I’m willing to give a little here…a little…).
You need to consume Vitamin D with a little fat (so it actually gets absorbed), which is why fatty fish, milk and yogurt are great choices.
Because Vitamin D is fat soluble, you will actually store any that your body is not using right away. So, as long as you are eating foods REGULARLY that are high in Vitamin D, you should be getting enough within your diet...no pills necessary!
I really want to emphasize: REAL FOOD is where you want to get your nutrition! There is so much more in your cup of yogurt than you could EVER get from a regimen of capsules. In my opinion, supplements are essentially unregulated pharmaceuticals, and should only be considered when you are SURE you cannot get enough of a specific nutrient from your diet. A bowl of cereal in the morning, a cup of yogurt for a snack, and salmon for dinner will ensure you are good-to-go with your Vitamin D (and many other nutrients besides)!

Smartphone cameras keep getting better and better. Most of the newer gadgets come equipped with both front and rear-facing cameras that take amazing pictures.
Dual-lenses, more megapixels, optical and digital zooms and HD video recording are just a few of the modern features found on today's smartphone cameras. They are such high-quality devices that you're able to take near professional quality photos. This comes in handy when you're on vacation and want to capture high-quality memories that will last a lifetime.
However, your smartphone camera can be used for more important things than vacations or dinner plates. They're also useful when you need to record details of a car accident or an emergency situation like law enforcement does with body-cameras. Good news, there's an app that can turn your smartphone into a low-cost alternative to body-worn video cameras.
It's called Video Armor and it is available for both Apple and Android gadgets.
The Video Armor app records high-quality, point of view (POV) video that is automatically tagged with time, date and GPS location data. Combined with a built-in area to add notes, it's also a great place to create and store details of any situation.
While the basic recording controls will be familiar to you, the app includes additional features that will help you stay focused on your surroundings, not your smartphone. You can also enable sounds to let you know when the app is recording.
Adjustable video quality - The app takes full advantage of your smartphone's camera, recording up to UHD 4K. You can also dial down the quality to 720p or lower for longer recordings.
GPS location, time and date stamps - Videos are automatically tagged with information that records when and where an incident took place.
Search function - You can filter recordings by incident, date and ID to make them easy to find later.
You don't have to be an officer of the law to record incidents around you. Anyone can record them with ease with the Video Armor app.
To download the app, click the appropriate link for your gadget that we've provided below. It's available for Android and iOS for $2.99. | 2019-04-21T18:10:00 | https://www.komando.com/apps/400777/turn-your-smartphone-into-a-body-worn-video-camera |
Let's be honest, Niagara Falls doesn't have a bad angle. Regardless of where you're standing the domineering beauty is a breathtaking spectacle.
And it doesn't matter what viewpoint you have, what time of day, or year you visit, it's always stunning.
It's easy to realize that the Falls is an incredible masterpiece by Mother Nature and that it's monstrous in size, but the reality of seeing it in person is so much more intense. There's a feeling you can't comprehend reading about it online or on paper. You have to see it in person to understand the magnitude of this structure.
The sheer size is astounding and to think that the hundreds of thousands of gallons of water that flow over this cliff every day never stops, and hasn't for thousands of years.
The Falls never look the same on any given day. It's almost as if it's a monster, lying in wait, experiencing emotions that are reflected in the atmosphere. A dark and gloomy day give an ominous persona to the Falls while a bright, sunny, summer day makes everything feel joyous.
You can live in the area and visit the Falls often, but still walk away with a different perspective every time you're here.
There are also moments that are incredibly special when you get to the brink of the gorge only to realize that you're the only one around. You have this incredible gift all to yourself and it happens much more than you would expect.
Due to the sheer size and the fact that the winters can be brutally cold, you are almost guaranteed some peace and quiet during the winter months. People just don't have the energy to venture out, but if you're one of the brave ones you can be gifted with a personal experience between you and the Falls.
At night the skyline lights up, illuminating the Falls in a stunning glow.
And with three different sets of waterfalls, the American, Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls, there are plenty of different angles to see.
Mornings might be the best time to visit because the views can be remarkable, with steam rolling off the Falls as the sun rises in the background, but each time of day offers its own beautiful views. The excitement on people's faces as they see the landmark for the first time, the shadows cast on the water as the sun sets, and the distant glow of Niagara Falls, Ontario in the background make every moment of the day a special one.
You should never forget to bring your camera to save the memories of your trip.
Every once and a while the Falls lights up in honor of a person or occasion. The Falls went purple for Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, and unintentionally the death of Prince.
Even with all of the crowds and light shows, the Falls will always look like they were pulled right out of Jurassic Park, with its prehistoric ora.
While you probably have a long list of places to check of your travel bucket list, make sure that Niagara Falls is at the top. There's a rush of energy you feel standing at the foot of one of the natural wonders of the world. The experience is truly unlike anything else you'll ever experience.

Just in time for the increased activity in the Blake Sea is the new and improved Blake Sea Combined Calendar. For the past two years the yacht clubs of the United Sailing Sims and others close by have been using the Blake Sea Combined Calendar to share with each other and SL boating events in the Blake Sea area.
Gemma Vuckovic has been maintaining the calendar for some time now. And now she has released the calendar on a Wordpress page. The new calendar can be found on the side bar of the Journal as well as the sidebar of the new Starboards Website.
If you have a club that plans to hold events in the Blake Sea you need to contact Gemma for instructions on how to post to the calendar. If you are planning to use any of the start lines in the Blake Sea you should contact the yacht club closest to that line to make arrangements for your event. | 2019-04-23T16:16:25 | http://blakesea.blogspot.com/2014/01/new-improved-blake-sea-combined-calendar.html |
My name is Debbie McDonagh, and I garden in the mountains of Upstate New York, Zone 5a. I have many challenges in my garden, the first being the tough clay soil, which filled with rocks, rocks, and more rocks. My property sits up on a hill surrounded by trees, and it backs up to acres and acres of woodland. The deer love to visit, as do the bears, coyotes, and countless squirrels, chipmunks, and birds. I wake up in the warmer months to fresh country breezes and the wonderful sound of birdsong. I have been living in the mountains for 16 years now and never once regretted my move from New York City—I am a country girl at heart and always have been.
This is the back side of my veggie garden. The evening primrose (Oenothera sp.) grows rampant here; it’s a bright spot in an area that used to be a dumping ground when the previous owners were here.
I start cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus, annual) from seed every year—they are so easy! This year I’m trying four new varieties and can’t wait to get started!
We took out the dogwood that used to be in the center of the garden. It never ever bloomed; it wasn’t good for Zone 5a. I replaced it with ‘Bloodgood’ Japanese maple (Acer palmatum ‘Bloodgood’ Zones 5–8) surrounded by hostas. I absolutely love my Japanese maple, and it’s truly the showpiece of the front garden now, as it should be.
More evening primrose at the entrance to the veggie garden. The arch has two types of clematis and ‘New Dawn’ roses climbing on it. I am forever tucking in annuals in the beds outside the veggie garden for added color. Mine is a true country garden!
I added lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus, Zones 3–8) to the garden this past season. Here’s hoping it survived the winter, but if not, I’ve already started more from seed.
Papa’s garden is my latest transformation. My dad bought me a Pinky Winky® hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata Pinky Winky®, Zones 3–8) for my 50th birthday less than three months before he passed away. This garden is where I come to talk to my dad and remember him. It’s my tribute to him, and the first thing I see out of my bedroom window in the mornings.
I used a lot of red, white, and blue in my containers last season, a tribute to my dad’s veteran status.
Bee balm (Monarda didyma, Zones 4–10) adds a welcome splash of color to the late summer garden.
The butterflies love my garden, and I love seeing them flitting about on a sunny summer day.
Nigella (Nigella damascena, annual) has the most bizarre looking seedpod, like a space alien.
Gloriosa lily (Gloriosa superba, Zones 8–10 or as tender bulb) is one of my favorite climbers. It has such unusual form, and those bright colors would bring a smile to anyone’s morning! I grow it on the arch on my deck that spans my two herb boxes. It’s a most welcome sight first thing in the morning when I step out my door.
I hope you enjoyed this walk around my garden!
Mine also! I'm trying to grow some from seed this year so I can add them other spots in the garden - wish me luck!
Just absolutely delightful. What a garden! I could almost smell the soil and garden. Very touching and heartwarming. Well done!
Today we can nearly smell the soil, on this first day of spring - the temps are in the 50's! I'm anxious to get out there and start spring clean up but the weather has not been agreeable!
Most definitely not effortless, Katherine, you're right about that! I could use a team to help me out at times, and the older I get the more I could use that help!
Love it all. Wish I was your neighbor. I understand how plants passed on/gifted to us from our parents mean so much. I have them here from my mom who passed away 8 years ago this coming Friday. She truly had a green thumb.
My mom is a huge gardener also, and she and my Dad did so much work to their garden through the years. I obviously inherited that trait from them!
Loved your photos and accompanying commentary, Debbie. How special that your dad gifted you with a plant that brings you joy and keeps his memory close. Your garden "shed" is super charming and I can well understand what a treat it is to look out on it when you start your day. I don't think I have ever seen a Gloriosa lily...quite exotic and spectacular looking. Do you dig up its bulbs each fall and winter them over or start with new ones each spring?
They also brought me a beautiful lilac when I first bought my house - it's planted next to my little garden cottage also, so I really feel Dad's presence there. You can dig up the Gloriosa Lily tubers and store them in the crisper drawer in your fridge to plant again in the spring - sadly the last time I had them I forgot to do that so I ordered new ones this year.
Sadly my dad was too ill by the time I bought my house to enjoy my garden....I would show him photos, though, and he followed my blog to see what I was up to also. I wish I had a big fence around the perimeter, that would be wonderful!! But no, just around the veggie garden.
I love that you take closeup photos as I also do. Each flower has a beauty of it's own that isn't seen when looking at the whole picture, which is also very beautiful. I'm sure dealing with rocks and lots of critters is difficult, but you have found a way.
So true!! I have two close up photos from my very first blog post that I had blown up onto canvases - they are hanging up over a sofa in my house and they bring a bit of sunshine to the bleakest winter day!
Your garden is a true delight - colorful and full of personality! A couple of birthdays ago, my Dad gave me a check and "bought" me that exact same hydrangea. It's in my front border, but if we sell this house, I will pot it up before anyone sees it and take it with me. Thank you for this garden stroll. The nigella seed pod looks like it might say "Feed me, Seymour"!
I can't imagine leaving this house, but I'm sure some day I will get too old to take care of it any longer....but for now I'll just enjoy every minute I get to spend out in my garden! And yes, you are so right....FEED ME!!! It's bizarre, isn't it?
Nothing better than a morning coffee and a garden tour! I really enjoyed the photos you shared. It's such a different world and different type of challenge living around so much wildlife that you describe. And how peaceful to wake up to. I'm inspired by your Evening Primrose, they look amazing and I can't say I'm familiar with the until I saw them in your garden!
I can't wait until the days get warmer so I can start my mornings with an actual garden tour!! It's the first thing I do every morning, and the first thing I do when I get home from work....after I take care of the pups, of course!
Thank you for sharing your lovely garden. Papa’s garden is especially sweet. I too speak to my departed parents and pets when I garden. Call me goofy, but a day in the woods always brings me closer to those who have gone ahead of me; I suppose it’s just being in the midst of Nature’s never-ending cycle of growth. Thanks again from your fellow 5a gardener and best wishes for a colorful and fragrant spring.
I think I feel the most connected to him out in nature, I feel his love all around me. Nice to 'meet' another zone 5a gardener - anything budding in your neck of the woods yet?
Debbie - I also live in upstate NY on a hill, with clay soil, rocks, more rocks, and deer! Your garden is beautiful. I'll have to try the primroses - I assume the deer don't gobble them up? I know they don't touch Monarda and so far they have left my Lupines alone.
So you know the challenges for sure!! Every time I dig a hole I dread it....I just know I'm going to be sore as heck by the end of it! One little hole can mean pulling out 50 rocks!! I tend to buy my perennials in smaller sizes just so I don't have to dig big holes! The evening primrose is super easy, and it spreads....but not in an annoying way, because it's so easy to pull out and replant elsewhere. I have shared it with some fellow gardeners at my local farmers' market...the critters and the deer leave it alone, which is awesome. | 2019-04-24T18:43:22 | https://www.finegardening.com/article/paradise-in-the-mountains |
Staffing companies, personnel agencies, recruiters and other employment businesses have many contacts to manage and track. As opportunities become available or new information is announced the staffing company must be very responsive in notifying their contacts in order to take advantage of the opportunities.
Salesforce applications such as JobScience, Talent Rover, Target Recruit and others have proven to be extremely helpful in managing talent for staffing companies. The user interface is extremely easy to use in order to gather important profile information. The accessibility is a great benefit particularly when cloud technology is utilized. This allows even remote recruiters to update important information while on the road.
When sending emails to the talent at staffing companies, however, there can be some constraints with the Salesforce applications. The Salesforce platform has built in email restrictions to prevent malicious spam from being generated from its applications. While this is a benefit in many ways, it can be a hindrance to staffing companies that need to communicate to larger groups via email.
The limitations within Salesforce and its staffing company applications vary depending on the edition. Enterprise has a 500 email limit, while Professional edition has a 250 email limit. The Performance edition has a 1,000 email limit while the Personal, Contact Manager or Group Edition has no mass email capabilities. The limits are based around the number of emails sent in a 24 hour period using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
For many staffing companies it can be very easy to exceed the limits. There are workarounds to split the lists into multiple groups and manage sending over multiple days. Or, you can look at the MassMailer application as your email solution.
MassMailer integrates seamlessly with all Salesforce applications for staffing companies. You can avoid the email limitations altogether using a simple, user-friendly wizard.
The savings in productivity time and quality can be easily measured when you utilize MassMailer versus the alternative of breaking up emails and managing the process. MassMailer offers a free trial from Salesforce AppExchange for your staffing company to take advantage of.
Staffing companies need every opportunity to increase productivity and communications with their talent. MassMailer will give your company an edge in the staffing and personnel business. | 2019-04-26T02:39:59 | https://massmailer.io/blog/staffing-companies-should-be-using-massmailer-with-their-applicant-tracking-system/ |
Spotted this upcycled vintage wedding dress on Lynnsrags Etsy shop. Lynn shortened the length of this wedding dress to give a fresh look, and what a difference did it make! This short little number would make the perfect City Hall dress.
I heart this this amazing dress! So beautiful, vintage yet still hip!
This is adorable! Is it for sale by chance?

Beginners Luck For Jackpot Winner At Casumo Mobile Casino.
A virgin online casino player by the name of David certainly “got lucky” at Casumo Mobile Casino last week as – less than an hour after making his first ever deposit – he was €2,971,469 richer thanks to striking NetEnt’s Mega Fortune slot jackpot.
Despite not having the faintest idea what he was playing, David was sitting around one evening with his girlfriend and had nothing pressing to do, so – on the recommendation of a friend – he decided to give an online slot machine a spin for some extra excitement.
Presumably drawn to Casumo Mobile Casino by the promise of a €1,200 welcome bonus and 200 free spins, David created an account with the site and made a very modest deposit via his mobile device. He then scoured the casino’s list of games and opted for Mega Fortune on a total whim.
“I was at home with my girlfriend with nothing special to do. A few weeks before, a friend of mine told me he won a little money playing online casino, and we thought, ‘what the heck, why not?’” David recounted, setting the background for what would soon be a life-changing online casino win.
Not even realising that the game they were playing was a NetEnt progressive jackpot title – or what a progressive jackpot title even was, for that matter – David and his girlfriend took it in turns pressing the ‘spin’ button and soon found their balance had diminished to €9. Vowing to stop once their money ran out, the couple continued playing until, suddenly, something amazing happened.
Although there have been bigger wins at Casumo Casino, the €2.9 million earned by David is far and away the biggest prize ever won on the mobile version of the site – and although Mega Fortune will now take some time to re-seed, portable players may want to take a look at the €6.8 million Mega Moolah jackpot or the €3.1 million Mega Fortune Dreams prize if they want to emulate his feat. | 2019-04-18T13:03:29 | https://mobilecasinoman.com/casino-news/beginners-luck-jackpot-winner-casumo-mobile-casino/ |
A super long lead can be a great plus as a training aid, especially for recall and tracking. With a longer lead you can safely allow your dog to get a bit further from you and still be able to grab hold of her quickly. The Track n Train is a full 5 metres.
WHY THE SUPER GRIPPY TEXTURE?
In addition to the extra length this lead has the special feature of an ultra grippy texture on the outside. Check out the picture in close up. See the gray stripes? They are all a rubbery grippy texture.
When you’re training you'll probably find that you need to grab hold of the lead quite quickly to maintain safe control. The Rubber LokGrip™ Webbing allows you to easily and comfortably grab any section of the lead without it slipping through your hand. You can also stand on it quickly with your foot to stop movement. A very practical feature!
With an extra handle near your dog’s collar you can quickly secure your furry mate in case of danger.
WHY IS THERE NO LOOP ON THE HANDLE?
It might seem odd at first glance, but you'll love this feature. When training your dog recall or tracking a leash will get dragged about. When you have a loop it can get caught on things in your training space. This one was designed without a loop so that it won’t snag on anything during training or bush walks.
To complete the package the clips on this lead are carbon coated and fully resistant to corrosion and rust.
Read 10 customer reviews of EzyDog Track n Train Leash. The average customer rating is 4.8.
I am starting to train a two year rescue dog. The Track n train Leash is proving an asset in giving her freedom but allowing me to quickly bring her back when I need to. She is tiny, a Chihuahua cross/Jack Russell but the leash doesn't inhibit her in any way. The grip is good as well. I have been able to slow her by putting my foot on the leash as well. A good purchase.
This is the BEST product I think I have ever purchased for my dog! My 18 month old, 46kg ridgeback X mastiff and I frequently walk on a bush track used by other dog owners, joggers and bike riders. Unfortunately she is thrilled by the movement of the joggers and bike riders and, once she has spotted a moving object, will chase it and neither come, sit, wait nor leave it!!! The trailing lead gives me the opportunity to either catch her before she takes off OR quickly retrieve her and reinforce the "DON'T CHASE" message, once she has bailed up the source of her fascination. I am now confident that she will very quickly learn not to chase, while still having the freedom to explore off lead. It attaches beautifully to her Waggle ruffwear harness at both the back attachment point, to keep it out of her way, or the front attachment point, to give me more control if I need it. The lead has never yet been caught around rocks or bushes and the mud, which she regularly bathes in, easily washes out with a quick rinse in a bucket when we get home. I wish we had discovered this brilliant device months ago.
As we have two dogs, this lead is wonderful to let the dogs play together in the park, without worry of hurting or troubling other dogs, as can manage there play together a lot better. They play fight a lot, as one of our dogs is 14 months old and deaf, he is kept on the lead, as if he decides to chase a leaf or a bird, he cannot hear to come back. He is learning with sign language, and a lot of treats.
Great product. Strong enough for my Labrador and light enough for my Jack Russell!
Having recently adopted 2 adult English Setters, the EzyDog Track n Train Leash has been incredibly useful in developing the dogs' recall. It is easy to use and effective - in the past I had a retractable leash that I accidentally grabbed while my deaf Great Dane ran off - unfortunately I was the one who ended up with considerable friction burns and a hospital visit while she was none the wiser! The EzyDog Track n Train Leash, with it's grip along the length of the leash is much more comfortable!
Super great. Very happy with the lead. It has a great grip so it won't hurt your hands. Good quality too gonna last for years and years if not decades.
Molly and I found the lead great to train with ,Molly can be left at a distance before I call her, Molly finds it light and mum finds it easy to hang onto excellent quality I think I have just about everything I need for my puppy classes, mum is happy she found Waggles to buy from. Also I think mum should have the clicker on her arm I know when I hear it and respond mum might give me a treat.
Love it. Perfect for training our large and slow to learn recall mutt. The lack of a loop handle at the end of the leash is not an issue, as it is super grippy. It has also been great for increasing exercise where he's had to stay on leash. | 2019-04-22T22:43:47 | https://waggle.com.au/ezydog-b2/track-n-train-leash-p1569 |

Bro she didn't just "use the Force." She 1v1ed Ben Solo.
Ben Solo was also a relatively new force user, severely wounded, and not trying to kill her.
Sorry, I wasn't talking about the fight on Starkiller Base. I'm talking about her resisting him in the interrogation room.
I'll also add that from a writing perspective, it's quite a bit more preposterous to have a character strapped in a chair in a military facility, have her need to 1v1 a trained Sith, and then jedi mind trick an individual flawlessly on her first attempt, than it is to hand wave away a mild film contrivance like Anakin winning a pod race because he has some natural "luck" that comes with being a force user.
We don't know how strong Rey's connection to the Force is. She could have Yoda level Force powers that are still developing. Not every Force user has the same connection to the Force, some are stronger than others. I agree that it's a bit far fetched that she was able to resist Kylo's mind probe, but she may have far stronger a connection to the Force than Kylo. We don't know her backstory, and it's possible she had prior Jedi training that we don't know about. She could have been mind wiped like Revan in the Old Republic (Although unlikely since she was on Jakku from a young age).
A mind probe was a Force power which allowed the user to search the thoughts of others. It was possible to resist this ability using the Force, and if the one resisting was powerful enough, one could turn the effects of the probe around and manage a look into the mind of the user.

That could be the first force sensitive person Kylo ever tried that one. There aren't many left. Maybe it's much tougher than doing it to a regular joe, or to stormtroopers who are basically high functioning mentally challenged people.
One of the theories going around that I kind of like is that Luke really was The Last Jedi, and now Rey will *become* a 'skywalker,' aka someone who travels across the galaxy (walks the skies) to use/teach the Force in a balanced manner, rather than in the white-and-black of Jedi-vs-Sith.
Thanks, I hate it. This is the flipside of the "Everyone important is a secret Targ" fan theory from ASoS. | 2019-04-20T20:35:51 | https://www.irishenvy.com/forums/showthread.php?s=ca9c49a07d9c123eb55ea4b199529140&p=2097965 |

Last night’s TIFF red carpet of the highly anticipated musical La La Land was bananas. That’s the only way to describe it: Fans lined barricades along King St on both sides, media was four deep at the Princess of Wales theatre and there were even police with bomb sniffing dogs on the scene. And its no wonder everyone was making such a fuss: Some of the biggest stars on the planet were slated to arrive, like Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and John Legend.
You would think that an event so massive would be pandemonium, but it was executed with military precision: The carpet locked at exactly 5:15 when they said it would, and stars began arriving shortly after. (Usually, everything runs at least an hour late.) But the absolute highlight of the night came when Ryan Gosling showed up.
“I’ve been making a film in Budapest that’s a sequel to Blade Runner,” he told us. “It’s a wonderful place, I’m having a great experience there. Wonderful food, amazing craftsmen, it’s a beautiful city, it’s just been terrific,” he said with a smile.
But guys, the craziest thing about The Goz is that he actually makes eye contact when he answers questions, unlike so many celebs. His baby blues lock on to yours, and you feel like he’s actually listening, instead of plotting his escape from the mania of the red carpet.
Then, as a publicist started to steer him away, he said a very polite “Thank you” (so Canadian!) and he was gone. I think it’s safe to say I’m a Ryan Gosling fan for life now. | 2019-04-21T04:37:33 | https://www.ellecanada.com/culture/movies-and-tv/article/tiff-2016-one-on-one-with-ryan-gosling |

America was originally a spinoff of the long-running England. Airing from the 1776-77 season through today, America focuses on a small ensemble of white people using things in the ground to become rich or kill brown people. A sprawling dramedy, it combines all of the loose plot points of a Tyler Perry sitcom with all the fun of being white. | 2019-04-22T13:21:46 | http://www.ihatewhatyoujustsaid.com/2013/01/10/america-a-review/ |

St. Brigid’s G4M&O were out in force this evening at Harlequins hosting Carryduff G4M&O who have only been together for 6 weeks. Two games were played simulataneously to cater for such high numbers willing to fight off the dropping temperatures. The excitement was mighty with some great scores and play from both sides. Well done to all the players, coaches, refs, supporters and food suppliers. There was not a crumb left in the clubhouse afterwards. We even had sisters on opposing teams! New players are always welcome we train on Monday evenings at HQ at 8pm. | 2019-04-21T20:41:10 | http://stbrigids.clubandcounty.com/2016/10/24/g4mo-host-carryduff-hq/ |
As a general rule, medical or surgical procedures may not be carried out without the informed consent of the patient. The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 provides laws to support decision-making by adults who have difficulty in making decisions without help.
In general, valid consent must be informed consent where the patient has sufficient information to be able to understand the nature of what is proposed and the potential risks and benefits involved. The patient must have the capacity to make the decision and must be free to do so without threat or pressure from others.
If a person carries out medical or surgical procedures without consent, he/she could be charged with the crime of assault - the decision on charges is made by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
He/she could also be sued for the tort (civil wrong) of trespass to the person and possibly for breach of constitutional rights. If the person involved is a medical professional, he/she could also be sued for negligence. The patient may take these actions.
Part 4 of the Mental Health Act 2001 defines consent in relation to a patient under the Act as meaning consent obtained freely without threats or inducements where the consultant psychiatrist responsible for the care and treatment of the patient is satisfied that the patient is capable of understanding the nature purpose and likely effects of the proposed treatment and has given the patient adequate information in a form and language that the patient can understand on the nature purpose and likely effects (section 56).
Consent of the patient is not required for treatment when in the opinion of the consultant psychiatrist responsible for their care, the treatment is necessary to safeguard the life of the patient, to restore their health, alleviate their condition, or relieve their suffering and by reason of their mental disorder the patient is incapable of giving such consent. In all other circumstances consent is required. (section 57).
There are further safeguards in relation to certain highly invasive treatments. Psycho-surgery, even with the written consent of the patient, must be authorised by a Tribunal. Electroconvulsive therapy requires either the written consent of the patient or the approval of the consultant psychiatrist responsible for the patient and a second consultant psychiatrist and must be administered in accordance with the rules published by the Mental Health Commission (section 58-59).
Medication for a mental disorder cannot be continued for more than three months unless the patient consents in writing or if the patient is unable or unwilling to consent, with the approval of the consultant psychiatrist responsible and a second consultant psychiatrist. Consent or approval must be obtained every further three months that the medication is continued (section 60).
Clinical trials in Ireland are governed by the European Communities (Clinical Trials on Medicinal Products for Human Use) Regulations, 2004, SI No 190 of 2004.
The Regulations transposed into Irish law the provisions of Council Directive 2001/20/EC. The regulations supersede the Control of Clinical Trials Acts 1987 – 1990 for clinical trials using medicinal products.
There are safeguards in place governing the participation of incapacitated persons in clinical trials. In addition, the Clinical Trials Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 536/2014), which is due to come into force in 2016, also contains extensive provisions relating to protection of those participating in clinical trials, including incapacitated persons.
Anyone who is a patient with a mental disorder in an approved centre under the Mental Health Act 2001 cannot take part in a clinical trial (section 70).
An Advance Healthcare Directive, sometimes known as a 'Living will', is a statement about the type and extent of medical or surgical treatment you want in the future, on the assumption that you will not be able to make that decision at the relevant time. The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 provides laws for Advance Healthcare Directives. The Act was signed into law on 30 December 2015.
In line with this Act’s focus on respecting the will and preferences of the individual, the Act provides for the making of advance healthcare directives (AHD). These will allow an individual to make an advance expression in writing of their preferences concerning medical treatment which can be relied upon in the event that healthcare decisions must be made at a time when that individual lacks capacity, and/or to appoint a healthcare representative to ensure that the terms of the AHD are complied with.
A person may specify in their AHD what treatments they would like to be provided and also what treatments they would like to refuse. “Treatment” in this regard includes all therapeutic, preventative, diagnostic and palliative interventions, or other interventions whose purpose relates to the physical or mental health of the person, and includes life-sustaining treatment (s. 82) (one notable exception is where, at the time when it is proposed to treat the directive-maker, his or her treatment is regulated by Part 4 of the Mental Health Act 2001 – the AHD will not apply to such treatment (s. 85(7)(a)).
While requests for treatment will not be legally binding and will only be taken into account in the decision-making process (s. 84(3)(a)), valid and applicable treatment refusals in an AHD, including the refusal of life-sustaining treatment, will be as effective as they would be if the person making the refusal currently had capacity (s. 86(1)). The power to refuse a treatment in advance is therefore the major advantage of creating an AHD.
The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 provides a modern statutory framework supporting decision-making by adults who have difficulty in making decisions unaided. It will repeal the Marriage of Lunatics Act 1811 and cause the Lunacy Regulation (Ireland) Act 1871 to cease to have effect. The Act provides for the replacement of the Wards of Court system for adults, which is the existing mechanism for managing the affairs of persons whose capacity is impaired, with a range of legal options on a continuum of intervention levels to support people in maximising their decision-making capability. This legislation is a key step in enabling ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The Act is intended to address three broad categories of people. These are people with disabilities, particularly intellectual disabilities, older people with degenerative cognitive conditions and people with mental health issues who may have fluctuating capacity. The philosophy of the Act is to safeguard the person’s autonomy to the greatest extent possible, stressing the importance of the person’s ‘will and preferences’.
The Assisted Decision Making Act replaces the existing Ward of Court system for adults.
A range of legal options are set out to support people in maximising their decision-making ability. The Guiding Principles apply to everyone carrying out a function under any of these options.
The assisted decision making option is aimed at the person whose decision making is somewhat impaired but who, with the necessary information and explanation, could exercise decision making capacity. The person themselves will appoint their decision making assistant who will be supervised by the newly established Office of the Public Guardian (OPG). (The OPG replaces the Wards of Court Office).
The co-decision making option relates to people who require a higher degree of support but can still participate in decision-making. It allows a person to appoint a trusted family member or friend as a co-decision-maker under an agreement that will be confirmed by the Circuit Court. Any decision covered by the agreement must be agreed to by both the person with limited capacity and their appointee. They will be supervised by the OPG.
The third option is the appointment of a decision-making representative when 1 or 2 options are not possible. When the person is not able to make a decision even with support the Circuit Court will appoint a decision-making representative who will be accountable to the Court and under the supervision of the OPG.
Finally, the Act recognises that there are many informal decisions made daily in relation to a person with limited capacity and where there is no formal decision making agreement drawn up.
The Assisted Decision Making Act distinguishes between enduring powers of attorney made pursuant to the Powers of Attorney Act 1996 (“1996 EPAs”) and enduring powers of attorney made pursuant to the 2015 Act (“2015 EPAs”).
A new regime for 2015 EPAs which will be similar to 1996 EPAs in allowing an individual to appoint an attorney to act on his or her behalf in the event he or she no longer has capacity to do so but which will also contain fundamental differences including the execution and registration process containing more safeguards; the personal welfare, property and affairs extending to healthcare (but not to the refusal of life-sustaining treatment); regular reporting and accounting obligations of attorneys to the Director of the Decision Support Service and a complaints procedures to the Director who will have powers of investigation.
The Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 defines an Enduring Power of Attorney as an arrangement whereby a Donor (being the person who may lack capacity in the future) gives a general power to an Attorney (the person providing assistance) to act on their behalf. This may be in respect of all or some of the person’s property and affairs, or to do specified things on the person’s behalf.
An Enduring Power of Attorney created under the Powers of Attorney Act 1996 will still have effect after the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) Act 2015 is commenced.
Following commencement of the 2015 Act, however, no new Enduring Power of Attorneys will be created under the 1996 Act. Under the 2015 Act, an Enduring Power of Attorney does not come into force until the person lacks capacity in relation to one or more of the decisions specified in the Enduring Power of Attorney and the instrument creating the Enduring Power of Attorney is registered with the Director of the Decision Support Service.
If an Attorney believes that the person lacks capacity in respect of one or more decisions specified in the Enduring Power of Attorney, the Attorney must apply to register the instrument with the Director of the Decision Support Service and give the relevant notice.
While an application is pending registration with the Director, an Attorney can take any reasonable actions to maintain the person and prevent any loss of the person’s assets. The Attorney must report any such action to the Director.
Anyone with sufficient interest in the welfare of the person may object to the registration of an Enduring Power of Attorney. The objection must be lodged with the Director within five weeks of notice of the Enduring Power of Attorney being given.
On receipt of an application to register an Enduring Power of Attorney, the Director will make all enquiries necessary before registering the Enduring Power of Attorney, including investigating any objections lodged. Where an Enduring Power of Attorney is refused registration by the Director, the Attorney and the person will be notified of the reasons for the refusal and given an opportunity to respond. An Attorney may appeal any such refusal to the courts within 21 days.
Anyone can be appointed as an Attorney provided they are over 18 years old and able to perform the functions of an Attorney as specified in the Enduring Power of Attorney in question. The Enduring Power of Attorney cannot contain any decision relating to the refusal of life-sustaining treatment, or any item already covered by a pre-existing Advance Healthcare Directive.
Where an Attorney is conferred with a general power as to the person’s property and affairs, the Attorney may not dispose of the property by way of gift unless specifically provided for under the Enduring Power of Attorney.
Where gifts are specifically provided for, they are limited to those made on customary occasions to people (including the Attorney) or charities to whom the person might be expected to make gifts and should be of a reasonable value given the circumstances and means involved. The Attorney is only entitled to be paid for carrying out their functions under the Enduring Power of Attorney if this is specified in the Enduring Power of Attorney.
Under the 2015 Act, an Attorney acting under an Enduring Power of Attorney relating to property and affairs must file a report with the Director within three months of the registration of the Enduring Power of Attorney. This report should include a schedule of the person’s assets and liabilities, and any projected income and expenditure. After that the Attorney must submit updated reports every year.
In Ireland, and many other countries, only adults with the necessary decision making capacity are lawfully able to marry. The validity of a marriage is governed by statutory and common law considerations. The Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act 2015, which is part of the process of ratifying the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, proposes changes in the legislation governing marriage, in particular the repeal of the Marriage of Lunatics Act 1811 and the discontinuation of wardship, will mean that some cognitively impaired people will be able to marry.
A person lacking mental capacity does not automatically lose the right to vote. There is, however, a definition of legal incapacity to vote which was defined in a court case in 1874 (Stowe v Joliffe) (British Medical Association/the Law Society, 1995). According to the ruling from this case, there is “some quality inherent in a person, which either at common law, or by statute, deprives him of the status of Parliamentary elector”. Although doctors and lawyers rarely become involved in cases to prevent a person lacking mental capacity voting, this definition is still valid today. Common law also applies in relation to mental capacity. In the Oakhampton and Robin’s case (1791) it was declared that a “lunatic” could vote but only during a lucid interval. Although the term is offensive nowadays, the provisions of this case were confirmed in subsequent cases and are still applicable today for people suffering from a mental disorder. If the presiding officer at the polling station considers that a person lacks the capacity to vote, s/he may refuse that person access to vote (Inclusion Ireland, 2010).
The law presumes that everyone has the capacity to contract and the onus is on the person claiming that they were incapable to prove so. If they succeed this incapacity may defeat the contract and make it unenforceable. The courts will accept three categories of incapacity. The first of these is contracts entered into by a minor. Apart from contracts for necessaries and contracts of apprenticeships, education and service the general rule is that the contract will not be binding on the minor. The second category of incapacity is insanity. In order not to be bound the person must show that owing to his mental condition he did not understand what he was doing, that the other party was aware of this incapacity and that the contract was not one for necessaries. The third category of incapacity is intoxication and there is a similar burden of proof on the person seeking to rely on it as in the case of insanity.
One of the criteria for a will to be considered valid is that the person who made it was of sound mind. The Assisted Decision Making (Capacity) Act 2015 defines capacity in relation to decision-making and explicitly sets out that it does not apply to capacity or consent required in relation to making a will. A solicitor cannot aid a person to draw up a will, if s/he is not satisfied that the person fully understands what is involved. It is not possible to draw up a statutory document, i.e. a will drawn up by the Court on behalf of an incapacitated person as can be done in England (Costello, 1998).
The question of the mental state of someone in Ireland charged with a crime may arise at two different stages – at the start of the trial and at the decision on guilt. If a person is suffering from a mental disorder, they may be considered unfit to be tried at the start of the trial. In that case, no trial goes ahead. If a trial is held and the person is considered to have actually committed the offence but was insane at the time, it is possible for a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity to be reached. In murder cases, the concept of diminished responsibility may be used to substitute a verdict of manslaughter.
A mental disorder in Irish law is defined as including mental illness, mental disability, dementia or any disease of the mind but does not include intoxication (drunkenness).
was unable to refrain from committing the act.
This verdict is commonly known as “guilty but insane”. This decision is made by a jury. If this verdict is reached, the judge may order that the person be committed to a psychiatric hospital or unit in broadly the same way as applies in the case of being unfit to be tried.
If someone is charged with murder, the verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity is one possible verdict. The Criminal Law (Insanity) Act 2006 provides for the concept of diminished responsibility in murder cases. A conviction for murder in Ireland brings an automatic life sentence. In other crimes, the judge has discretion in relation to sentencing and so can take into account any diminished responsibility which may exist. If someone charged with murder successfully pleads diminished responsibility, then the verdict is manslaughter. The judge can then sentence the person to any length of time in prison. | 2019-04-26T02:36:52 | https://www.alzheimer-europe.org/Policy-in-Practice2/Country-comparisons/2016-Decision-making-and-legal-capacity-in-dementia/Ireland |

📄 Guy Ianello was raised by a good Italian family in upstate New York. Somehow in high school he got caught up in drugs, using and then selling them. After graduating, he had no incentive to find a real job until he got caught and was sentenced to life in prison. But after 6 months, he was released on a technicality.
After his release, he tried a few jobs but then drifted back into pushing drugs. He made very good money. Then he met his wife and they moved to the Orlando area to try and make a new life together. But selling drugs was too easy. His greatest fear was being caught and sent to prison for life. As the pressure built and more and more deals made good money and frustrations with his wife (who finally left him), he was finally caught again with guns and plenty of drugs for sale.
People had witnessed to him about Christ but he always rejected it. But out on bail and before being sentenced, he went to church with a friend. He was moved and gripped with fear of going to prison, so after church, he went into his backyard with his dog and cried out to the Lord for forgiveness. Weeping hysterically, he admitted his lies and sins.
He was no longer the property of an evil curse, but he found Freedom in Christ from the inside out. That life-changing event transformed Guy completely. He hungered with a passion for the word and convinced his wife he was a changed man. So she took him back. He studied intently for 3 years.
Today, Guy is a Pastor of the Total Freedom Program near Orlando where he helps victims of addictions get clean through 9 months of intense Freedom IN Christ training. He an excellent teacher, trainer, and mentor for the Lord.
God can change us if we will be open and let go of our worldly thinking and misconceptions. His plans are always better and teach us the final truth about Freedom IN Him. | 2019-04-25T08:37:26 | http://askwisecounsel.com/being-set-free/ |
Bit of a cheap shot I know but a worthy pause for thought as we start a new year and planning heads review their budgets and wonder which wunderkind they’ll manage to snap up this year when the musical chairs of agency moves and salary increases starts all over again. For a value added function such as account planning brilliance does matter. We rely on people getting to answers faster than an account team would all by itself or without taking up too much senior management input. BUT what price is competence? Is it ever enough? How many briefs need the bleeding obvious? Particularly as the brilliant solution may take a bit of selling in clientside. With APG awards coming up, consider that there is still a law of averages. Which can’t be beat. Of course brilliance AND competence gets my vote every time. But competence dressed up as brilliance?? Could undermine the currency we trade in – trust. Good luck with the casestudies boys and girls just don’t be afraid to call a spade a spade and competence craft. | 2019-04-23T06:57:25 | http://www.accountplanning.co.uk/planningcraft/koan/no14/ |

Is there a way to control the movement of a solidworks assembly in real time using input like xbox controller?
Is this possible to do in solidworks? I tried to interface solidworks with matlab by using simmechanics, but it seems that it only converts the cad file into some sort of a rendering that does not take any input.
Another idea I have in mind is by using variables stored in an excel or txt file to control the dimensions of the mating parts of the assembly in real time. Is this possible to do? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks! | 2019-04-22T04:05:55 | https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/106065 |
Groovy Moments: Millions of peaches, peaches for me!
Tis the season for peaches, and we have been enjoying it to it's fullest, particularly this past week.
We're leaving today for the weekend and this morning I was looking at some lovely peaches that threatened to spoil, so here it hit me! I have aspired to try my hand (both actually) at canning for quite some time and there is no better time than the present.
It seemed like a good load of fruit I had, so off I went chopping and crushing, cleaning and boiling my jars & lids, and of course having a little taste here and there.
I admit, having a little one, I abandoned my post regularly, was highly disorganised, and just generally took a pretty long time to do a job that actually seems like it should be reasonably quick and easy.
I remember my mom making peach jam and having it on fresh tea biscuits with a bit of whipped cream. MMmmmmmm...Think I'll be doing that in the next week, or rather hope so!
By the way, after ALL that chopping, and crushing, cleaning and boiling here is my less than full lone 500ml jar of peach jam.
My FIRST EVER jar of ANYTHING! YAY!!!
So, needless to say, I didn't really get in to the full canning process for my first experience. Due to my small yield there was no need for processing the JAR. I didn't expect loads - I only sterilized 3 x 500ml jars, but I had hoped for at least a couple full ones. Oh well! At least I'll get to enjoy eating it.
I did learn something that may be a useful tip for others (since I prepared 3 jars and used one): heated, yet unused, snap lids can be used again. Good thing or I would have felt bad about wasting those other 2 (I know they are cheap but still).
I highly recommend the Bernadin Home Preserving Book...easy recipes, gives you your yeild, (so you have some idea of how many containers worth you're making), and also gives you pectin free options, (like long boil and spreadable fruits). Good for you for giving canning a go...I know how hard it can be to do with kiddies underfoot. When I tried doing my spreadable peaches, Matilda had a total meltdown...thankfully she loves to play in the kitchen sink, so I turned on the water, put a towel on the floor and let her to it.
You know, I actually have that book and I guess it could have done me some good to actually look in it!! Thanks so much for the tip. I used my betty crocker cookbook, but it definitely isn't as thorough as a canning specific book. I'll need to get that other one out for next time - which I hope is soon!
I definitely need to try those spicy spreadable peaches you made. It sounds delicious! | 2019-04-25T12:32:59 | http://groovygoods.blogspot.com/2010/08/millions-of-peaches-peaches-for-me.html |
Over the last few years I have been developing a skincare routine and finding out which type of products my skin loves…. AND which products it doesn’t. I thought I would share with you my current routine and maybe update you every month or so if it changes and which products I have been trialling. I have dry/sensitive skin. I did think I’d grown out of my sensitive skin but after a little skin meh last year I have learnt that I definitely have not.
I start the day my washing my face with a drugstore face wash. Yes! No snazzy cleanser. I guess I just like saving my pennies where I can and I have found some great face washes that my skin adores. I tend to stick to a Simple or Olay face wash as they are gentle and nourishing for my skin. Every 2-3 days I also use a face scrub before washing my face with my usual cleanser. I just find the extra wash helps to get all that scrub off and makes my face feel fresh. I love the St Ives Apricot scrub for sensitive skin. It smells lovely and is great for giving me a subtle exfoliation. I try not to exfoliate my face too much as this can irritate sensitive skin.
After I have washed and dried my face I apply a serum. I used to skip this step but have found it just adds that extra hydration that I think my skin was lacking last year. My go to product is the Bare Minerals Skinlongevity Serum Essence. If I run out this stuff I go into a little panic as I think this is doing my skin the world of good. It just feels more hydrated and glowing after. I then apply my L’Occitane eye cream with my ring fingers, gently patting it in as the skin around the eye area is delicate. I finish with a moisturiser. At the moment, I am loving the Ren Global Protection Day Cream.
In the evening, I have been loving removing my makeup with the Simple Micellar Cleansing Water. I use cotton pads to do so as I find it easier and less messy than a face cloth. They also act as a little extra exfoliation. I then wash my face as per my morning routine. I don’t use a face scrub in the evening.
Every week I apply a face mask. I tend to reach for a hydrating one unless I am having any skin problems. I love The Body Shop Honey and Oat mask but unfortunately they have stopped selling it. Luckily, I still have some left! What face masks would people recommend when I run out of this one?
After my face is clean and pampered, I use the serum essence and eye cream again. If my skin is particularly dry I swap the serum essence for my NUXE Face Oil. I only do this on pampering nights though as I find it too much for everyday use. For night time I go in with a richer moisturiser. At the moment, I am using the Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser and so far I am loving the results! It feels thick and nourishing – like a proper hearty moisturiser!
There you go! This is my skincare routine at the moment! I hope you enjoyed this post. I tend not to change my skincare routine too frequently as since having a bad reaction to a product last year, I like to pinpoint the product that isn’t suitable for me before I test any others. My friend Sally swears by only changing one item in her skincare routine at a time and I have started doing this too! Great advice! It is really tempting to get over excited when buying new beauty products but try to rein yourself in! Make sure you remove your makeup EVERY evening and cleanse your face morning and night too! I also swear by drinking LOADS of water. It isn’t hard for me though as I just love the stuff. Skin can be unpredictable and although I do not have perfect skin (I still have the odd blemish… don’t we all!), I try to do as much as possible to look after it. Your diet is also important so get eating those greens! | 2019-04-19T07:04:44 | https://www.sophielaetitia.blog/2017/04/12/current-skincare-routine/ |

I’m thrilled to be experiencing my first year here at NCCA! It’s an honor to be part of this creative and loving school family. I taught in Chicago area schools for 12 years before moving to Daniel Island, SC, where I reside with my husband & two children. I feel that my experience as a mother has given me a new level of empathy toward students and parents; I understand that school can be both joyous AND challenging to families. My goal is to facilitate the joy alongside the immense amount of learning that must take place over the fourth grade year. I’m currently teaching language arts, reading and social studies. Each day, I make an effort to integrate a form of the arts, whether it be visual, musical, or physical (dance/drama) into our lessons. This is when I see our students at their best! | 2019-04-20T00:18:27 | https://northcca.ccsdschools.com/cms/One.aspx?portalId=2884780&pageId=46188614 |

How to meet other singles privately on a Herpes dating site?
Herpes dating websites give people with herpes an amazing opportunity to meet like – minded people and most importantly, individuals having the same infection. Various reports have proven that once a person is infected with herpes, he/she cannot get it again. This has encouraged people with the HSV infection to find their ideal match for friendship or even marriage.
Herpes dating is a tad more sensitive in comparison to other niche dating domains. Things usually tend to get a little complicated once STDs come into picture. It has also been observed that most people aren’t comfortable about sharing their medical condition with others. This is exactly why herpes dating websites have become so popular.
Here is a guide to herpes dating, that people with herpes can follow and find their perfect partner.
Finding the right website: If you are afraid of being rejected, then a herpes dating website would be the ideal place for you. As every person on these websites is infected with the herpes simplex virus, your medical condition would certainly never become the reason behind any rejection.
Searching for the ideal partner: Herpes dating websites such as Positive Singles, allows users to search for a prospective partner based on a host of parameters. Some of the key parameters that users can employ to filter search results are location, body type, drinking / smoking habits, type of STD, astrological sign and interests, among others.Members can also check out complete profiles of other users in order to determine their compatibility.
Connecting with a potential partner: Now that you have found someone interesting on the website, it is time to strike a conversation and mark your presence. Your primary focus should be on impressing the other person. Herpes dating websites contain a wide array of connectivity options such as email, instant messaging and voice / video chat. Furthermore, members can also join chat rooms to find an interesting person.Most of the sites in the herpes dating domain also boast of blog and forum sections where members can not only voice their opinions on a particular topic but also share something interesting about them.
Making use of privacy options: Members on herpes dating platforms have the authority of showing certain type information while hiding the rest. Furthermore, they can also make their profile invisible on the site by tweaking the privacy settings. Apart from this, users can also block users and prevent their profile from showing up in search results.Herpes dating websites pay special attention to privacy and give members the liberty of remaining anonymous.
All in all, online herpes dating sites gives users a highly secure and discreet environment where they can not only meet singles but also learn more about the sexually transmitted disease.

Located in the province of South Holland, The Hague is the capital city of the Netherlands. This beautiful city is home to the Dutch government and parliament, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, and the Council of State.
With more than 150 international organizations, including the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, The Hague differs from other Dutch cities. It features a great number of historic buildings, charming palaces, squares and green parks. The unique Madurodam park is a well-known attraction, where you can learn the history of Holland through amazing miniature buildings.
Next to Hofvijver lake, the Binnenhof is a complex of buildings including the chambers of the Dutch Parliament. Take a guided tour in the monumental Het Binnenhof and visit the Knights Hall (Ridderzaal).
The long sandy beach at Scheveningen is a favorite seaside resort in the Netherlands. Featuring a selection of water sports and entertainment venues, Scheveningen is great for nature lovers and families.
Booking.com has a variety of accommodations near the sea, as well as a selection of hotels, apartments and hostels in the center of the city. The Netherlands' main international airport, Schiphol, is 24 miles away, while Rotterdam The Hague Airport is just 10 miles from the city.
Great city - far, far better than the tourist freak show that is Amsterdam. Peaceful and quiet on saturday mornings. A short distance from the beach at Scheveningen. Plenty of green spaces (Wassenar and Oostduinpark). Plenty of great museums; The Mauritshuis, Fotomuseum, Gemeentemuseum (visual arts) and the Louwman is an absolute must if you like classic cars.
Easy to get around with transit but not cheap though.
Easy to get around with transit but not cheap though. Its a nice city but much calmer than Amsterdam so don't expect to spend too many wild nights out! Otherwise its got quite a lot to offer if you are sure to go to the right places (city center and surroundings have quite a bit to offer). Its right by the sea so that's cool and it's very green and overall not as full and expensive as Amsterdam so a nice different experience of the Netherlands!
This was my second time visiting.
This was my second time visiting. I love The Netherlands and found The Hague to be welcoming and relaxed and friendly in ways Amsterdam could not match. Public transport makes getting to the beach a snap and it's easy to get to museums and sights. Walking is easy and bicycling is great. I look forward to returning.
The city has a multicultural feeling; synthesizing the old with new in both architectural and social way. Lots of places to chill and shop, tidy and well planned city grid helps you to get to places easily. We visited in December and still made it to Scheveningen, there was not much to do though, i can't imagine how lovely the place would be in summer. The city feels safe, as you walk away from the center you still get to see people around, not dead silence. Life does not circulate solely around a tiny area, but the whole city.
We were very pleased by our stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, just near the Mauritshuis and in the city center. Staff was very helpful and very kind. Breakfast is pretty good, you have enough choice and everything is always cleaned. Room was comfortable, quiet and well designed. You have the possibility to park your car in the building which is very useful in the Hague.
A gorgeous, clean and spacious apartment in a great location. Quiet neighbourhood with a lovely area of shops and cafes nearby. Easy and pleasant walk in to The Hague. There are many parks nearby and lovely beaches with free parking. We preferred the quiet beaches but there is plenty of seaside entertainment at Scheveningen. Kelly from BizStay was so helpful and friendly.
Super comfy old school chic stylish 5-star comfortable hotel in the heart of The Hague, just next to the Parlament building of the Netherlands, Escher museum and Mauritshuis. Hannah at the reception has been the most professional of all staff. Thank you for your understand and professional service level one would expect at a 5-star hotel.
The view on the 9th floor is amazing you can see the whole city! The restaurant and bar downstairs is very cozy, clean, and the staff there is friendly. They have amazing art throughout the hotel and wonderful little birds in the lobby as well as a pool table! The beds were excellent and very comfortable.
Very central, in the heart of The Hague, close to museums,points of interest, shopping and eating. Public transport nearly in front, tram 9 will take you to Scheveningen beach. You can walk to Den Haag Central Station. Room was clean, comfortable and up to date. Reception staff very helpful.
The apartment was a perfect location to visit in the Hague. Everything there that you need as a home from home. Very accomodating hosts. Couldn't have been more helpful. Will stay here again and will be recommended against a hotel any day of the week.
Location great, the included breakfast beats a lot of breakfasts you'd pay for, comfy rooms, great staff. This place is seriously on point. I've gotten less at hotels twice as expensive. The lobby is really inviting and social.
Modern hotel equipped as expected from a 3-Star hotel. Very comfortable bed!!! Good organic breakfast. Nice lounge area with free coffee/tea. Good location, walking distance to city center, bus stop to the beach around the corner.
The room was perfect and gorgeous. The location was close to everything and the staff was very friendly. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Hague!
Directly in the WTC in The Hague with access to the tram. Huge gym which can be used by hotel guests for free and a decent bar to unwind in the evening.
This place was absolutely amazing. A true gem in The Hague. The owner is so lovely and the staff as a whole very kind and welcoming.
Very nice.The Hague is not very big, and the location is near the city center, so I think it's a great hotel.
Very nice and comfortable hotel. It is situated in the city center, close to all important turist points.
One of the best hostals I've stayed in netherlands. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
Location was perfect as it's in the center of The Hague. Also the room was spacious.
Nice appartment on a prime location in The Hague. | 2019-04-23T19:15:45 | https://www.booking.com/city/nl/den-haag.html |

Are you keeping up with Major League Soccer this season? The addition of two expansion teams—Orlando City SC and New York City FC—has opened up the league to a new set of fans, while veteran States soccer fans have been tuning in to watch longtime favorites battle it out on the field.
Today, we’re going to be looking at the highest ranking teams in both the Eastern and Western Conference as the season starts to pick up.
New England Revolution: New England Revolution currently leads the Eastern Conference in points and wins. The team, which is one of the ten charter clubs of Major League Soccer, is a tough one to beat—on May 2nd, they ended the New York Red Bulls’ (not to be confused with the new team, New York City FC) perfect record with an at-home win. This isn’t too surprising, of course, since the team boasts a 15-game home record. We’re excited to see how this Massachusetts-based team performs as the season continues into summer.
D.C United: D.C. United is another Eastern Conference team to watch out for, especially considering how much they’ve improved this season alone compared to earlier years—with an unbeaten streak of six games, this is the best the Washington, D.C.-based team has started out in its 20 years in the league (like New England Revolution, D.C. United is a charter club—they’ve been competing since the league first started out). Their performance against longtime rival Columbus Crew SC of Columbus, Ohio is an especially impressive feat—this year, D.C. United ended its five-game losing streak against Columbus. That’s the first win against Columbus since 2012!
FC Dallas: Now we’ll be moving on over to the Western Conference’s number-one spot, FC Dallas. In the recent intrastate match, the Texas Derby, FC Dallas defeated its Texas neighbor, Houston Dynamo 4-1, and was able to move on up to its high-ranking position.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC: Coming in at the number-two spot in the Western Conference is the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Despite its impressive spot, the team is dissatisfied with its inconsistency in performance. Like Head Coach Carl Robinson said, the team is fun for soccer fans to watch… but not so dependable when it comes to predicting the outcome of a match!
Now that we’ve taken a brief look at the top-ranking teams, who should we be watching out for to possibly surprise us later on in the season? It’s not easy to say, what with factors like Vancouver’s inconsistency and the addition of Orlando and New York City (who currently take up the 7th and 8th spots in the Eastern Conference). We aren’t sure what tricks they may have up their sleeves, and while they may not be slotted to win big in their inaugural season, that isn’t to say they won’t be able to advance further… maybe even make it to Playoffs this October! The top six teams of each conference do, so it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine at least one of these teams making it past the threshold from number seven to number six. | 2019-04-18T22:49:31 | https://www.custom-soccer.com/views/news_article.php?article=mls-soccer-how-the-teams-stack-up |
I've been puttering along on the Queen Jaywalker socks all weekend. I didn't even bother bringing out my other projects, let alone work on any of them. I'm having gauge issues with Georgia (more on that later) and I've stalled a bit on Retro Heaven. The socks are the only project that's going as planned and are flying off the needles, all instant gratification-like. So I'm hell bent on getting them finished. The colours are growing on me, and hey, they're perfect for next month when Easter rolls around! The yarn itself is absolutely fabulous and now I can see why a lot of sock knitters refuse to knit socks out of anything other than Socks That Rock. If I didn't already have an enormous amount of sock yarn I would also knit my socks solely with STR. Simply lovely yarn!
These socks will be the third finished item for the 12 in 2011 goal. I'm quite happy that I'm zipping along at a fairly decent rate with this goal, seeing how it's only 3 months into the year and I'll already have 3 FOs under my belt. For a while there I didn't think I could knit 12 items in a year and didn't want to cop out by knitting iPod cozies and short fingerless mitts or something. The whole point of 12 in 2011 is to make a dent in the stash (which is kinda pointless when you're still buying yarn faster than you can knit).
On that note, I better keep knitting! | 2019-04-23T14:32:27 | http://www.misocraftyknits.com/2011/03/puttering.html |
When it comes to Abandoned Houses the term abandoned time capsule house gets tossed around quite loosely in recent years so I don’t like using that to describe the abandoned places I explore, however this one is pretty damn close. Just about every room is still fully furnished and the living room looks just as it did the last day the previous owners had left it.
Old snot green carpet and that same couch that everyones parents and grandparents had in their basement or living room. The basement of this house is entirely flooded and the paint on the walls has started to peel. In the kitchen of this abandoned time capsule house is a calendar that is still open to the date July 1995, Houses like this one are a very rare find and I’m quite happy to have had the opportunity to explore another one of these gems.
Inside what i’m calling “That 70’s house” is a kitchen complete with a fully stocked cabinet full of trinkets, the legs on the table are broken, the cupboards were still full with old food and dishes.
Upstairs in the attic was a sewing station and sewing accessories were found along with several other interesting antiques and all kinds of womans clothes, an old TV, and old camera and dozens of other unique and interesting items.

What is and what is NOT covered by the Gas Compliance Certificate.
What is and what is NOT covered by the Gas Certificate?
Welcome to the fourth newsletter in our extremely popular “Certificates Explained” series.
We trust you had a pleasant break over the recent Easter Weekend Holidays and are suitably refreshed looking forward to the next break at the end of the year.
We have already covered the Plumbing, Electrical and Beetle Certificates in earlier articles, for those of you who missed them, they are still available on the below links.
This time around we’ll cover the Gas Compliance Certificate.
When is a Gas Certificate required?
The rapidly increasing cost of electricity has resulted in a growth in popularity among many South African home-owners to utilize gas installations in their homes.
According to the regulations that were introduced in 2009, all gas installations must have a Certificate of Conformity according to the Pressure Equipment Regulations that have been promulgated under the Occupation Health and Safety Act (No 85 of 1993).
According to the regulation, any home-owner who has a liquid gas installation installed in their home must have a Gas Certificate of Conformity issued by an authorized person who is registered with the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Safety Association of Southern Africa (LPGAS).
It is also important for homeowners to know that if they wish to sell their home and they have a gas appliance installed, they are required to obtain a gas certificate and deliver a copy thereof to the new purchaser. The types of gas installations that require this certificate include gas fires or braais, gas stoves and ovens, as well as hot water systems. It is vital for all home-owners to realize that such an inspection is not just essential for their insurance policy to remain valid, but even more importantly, that it is conducted to ensure that the installation is safe and their family is not put at risk. If a gas appliance has been incorrectly installed and results in a gas leak this could have major health implications for a family, not to mention the huge danger involved of an explosion.
What does a Gas Compliance Certificate Cost?
Just like all the other Certificates we cannot tell you up front what the overall cost of a Gas Compliance Certificate may be, until such time as we have performed the Gas Inspection.
What we can tell you upfront is what the Gas Inspection will cost, as per our Inspection Fees.
Once we have performed the Gas Inspection we will know if any remedial work is required. If your Gas Installation is Compliant and NO further rectifications are required a New Gas Certificate will be issued to you at no additional charge over and above the initial Gas Inspection Fee.
However, should remedial work be required to make your Gas Installation Compliant we will issue you with a detailed report on the work required and the cost thereof.
Upon acceptance of this quotation we will complete the required rectifications after which we will issue you with a New Gas Certificate.
An example of too much gas on the premises. Max 2x48kg bottles allowed.
What is checked during a Gas Inspection?
As with all the different Compliance Certificates there are certain items that must be, or made, compliant before we can issue the Compliance Certificate. While we cannot list the entire regulation book here, for lack of space we can list some of the more pertinent items.
Gas is a potentially explosive substance so it makes sense that performing a leak test to ensure the gas installation is leak free is the number one priority. We further ensure that SABS approved equipment is used, the correct valves are used and that equipment is not placed in illegal positions, as per the below examples.
Windows – gas bottles must be at least 1m from any window. Gully - gas bottles must be at least 2m from any gully.
Tap – if tap does not have a gully under it, the gas bottle can be right next to the tap.
Power point - gas bottles must be at least 5m from a power point.
Size of gas bottles outside – 2x 19kg max (from 1 November ’14 2x 48kg will be allowed).
Size of gas bottle inside – 9 kg max, and if in a cupboard, it must have adequate ventilation.
Gas bottle next to braai or fire place is allowed if installed correctly.
No gas bottles permitted in a garage.
No switch socket outlets allowed under a gas hop or in the same compartment.
Gas bottle must be more than 1 metre sideways from doors and windows.
Gas bottle may not be less than 2 metres from drains and air vents.
Gas bottle may not be less than 3 metres below windows (unless a non-combustible roof is installed).
Gas bottle must be more than 1 metre from the property boundary wall (unless it is a fire wall).
Light bulbs cannot be less than 1.5 metres above a gas bottle.
• Only class 1 or 2 copper pipes, or other approved gas piping, may be used (Note: This is not the same copper piping as used by plumbers).
• Copper pipes going through a wall must be sleeved.
• Approved flexible gas hose may not be more than two meters long and may not go through any partition (including wood, dry wall, cupboard wall etc).
This is NOT a exhaustive list.
• Always use a registered gas installer.
• Always use a qualified gas dealer.
• Always use a verified and tested gas product.
• Always check the seal on a gas cylinder matches the brand of the cylinder.
• Always check gas appliances before use.
Gas quantities not included in the Gas Certificate.
What is NOT covered by the Gas Certificate?
As with all the Compliance Certificates there are limits as to what we and the seller are responsible for in order for a Compliance Certificate to be issued.
The primary concern of the Gas Compliance Certificate is SAFETY.
Portable, temporary Gas Appliances, such as portable BBQ's, Patio Heaters, internal heaters are not covered. These items are normally not included in the sale of the property and will be removed from the premises by the seller.
We do not replace Gas Cylinders simply because they don't look brand new.
We do not re-fill Gas Bottles.
We do not relocate Gas Bottles to an aesthetically more pleasing position, if where they are situated is a legal position we leave them there.
We do not install larger Gas Bottles, but we may remove or install smaller bottles if the maximum permissible volume is exceeded.
The inspection is limited to the Gas Installation only, the Gas Certificate does not cover the actual Gas Appliances, stove, heater, braai, hop, geyser etc.
The legal aspects of the Gas Certificate.
The legal requirements of the Gas Certificate.
Pressure Equipment Regulations were also promulgated under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (effective October 2009), which brought gas appliances installed in properties more or less in line with electrical installations.
Gas appliances installed in properties need a gas compliance certificate. Gas installations for which certificates are required include built-in gas fires or braai’s, gas stoves, hot water systems and the like. From 1st October 2009, it is required that any person installing a liquid gas appliance at a property must have a Certificate of Conformity issued in respect thereof. The certificate may only be issued by an authorized person registered as such with the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Safety Association of Southern Africa (LPGAS), after he has inspected the installation and is satisfied that it is safe, and leak free. Gas installations for which certificates of conformity are required would include built-in gas fires or braai’s, gas stoves, hot water systems and the like. Furthermore, in terms of Regulation 17(3) of the Pressure Equipment Regulations, the law speaks of a certificate being required after any installation, alteration, modification or change of ownership of property which necessarily implies that a certificate would need to be in place or issued upon the transfer of a property. The parties cannot contract out of it – it is required in respect of all properties where there is a gas installation, whether the owner lives there, rents out the property or whether it is vacant or stands empty for most of the year.
The Gas Certificate has no legal Validity Period.
Validity of the Gas Certificate.
Regulation 17(3) of the Pressure Equipment Regulations promulgated in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 became effective on 1 October 2009 and makes it compulsory for a gas compliance certificate to be obtained in the event that a property is sold.
It should be noted that it matters not that the installation of the gas appliance predates 1 October 2009 and the certificate is required despite this fact.
Unlike in the case of the Electrical Compliance Certificate, there is no similar regulation regarding the length of the period of validity of a gas compliance certificate. It is, therefore, recommended that such a certificate is acquired on the sale of the property regardless of how old the existing one may be.
Request a Gas Inspections directly from your PC or Mobile device on our website.
What is the procedure in obtaining a Gas Certificate?
Selling your home? If you have Gas appliances installed in your home then you will probably require a Gas Certificate.
You, your Estate Agent, or even your Transferring Attorney can submit the request for a Gas Inspection using our Online Inspection Request Form or if you prefer you can download a hard copy of our Inspection Request Form fill it in and email-fax it back to us.
We will then contact the relevant person, normally the seller, to explain the inspection fee options and make the booking to perform the gas inspection.
Should the Gas Installation be 100% compliant we will issue the Gas Certificate at no additional charge over and above the Gas Inspection Fee.
In the case that remedial work is required to make the Gas Installation compliant we will issue the client with a detailed report with a costing to perform the remedial work.
At this point the client can either accept our quotation, after which we will perform the rectifications and we will issue you a new Gas Compliance Certificate.
the client may choose to rather proceed with another registered Gas Installer and have that company issue the new Gas Certificate. Please note that Inspection Fees are due and payable irrespective of who ultimately issues the Gas Certificate.
We recommend you have your gas installations checked by a registered gas installer on an annual basis. | 2019-04-20T02:45:42 | http://www.techno-group.co.za/what-is-and-what-is-not-covered-gas-compliance-certificate.html |

Is Agunah Tamar Epstein's Remarriage Legal Without Orthodox Divorce?
Epstein, who has conducted a high-profile, years-long campaign to force her recalcitrant ex-husband to grant her a religious bill of divorce, appeared recently to have found a way around her dilemma.
Tamar Epstein, the prominent “chained woman” whose right to remarry under traditional Jewish law was long stymied, may have finally found two Orthodox rabbis willing to help her wed again. But her fate in the broader Jewish community — and the fate of any children she may have — is anything but ensured.
Epstein, who has conducted a high-profile, years-long campaign to force her recalcitrant ex-husband, a Capitol Hill congressional aide, to grant her a religious bill of divorce, appeared recently to have found a way around her dilemma. Traditional Jewish law bars a woman from remarrying without first receiving such a bill of divorce, even if, like Epstein, she is already civilly divorced. But on September 24, Epstein was wed to her new husband by a prominent rabbi in Memphis, Tennessee, after an unnamed Philadelphia Orthodox rabbi used a rare procedure to annul Epstein’s earlier marriage.
This seemed to end the 33-year-old’s status as an agunah, as such women are known in Hebrew — a term commonly translated into English as “chained woman.” But this was not necessarily the happy ending that many had hoped she would get.
The decision to allow Epstein to remarry ignited a firestorm within the Orthodox community. Opponents of the decision are making it clear that Epstein and any future children she may have will not find acceptance in the Orthodox community of which she considers herself a part.
“The woman is considered married for all purposes and is forbidden for any other man until a religious court rules otherwise,” Rabbi Aharon Feldman, head of Baltimore’s Ner Israel Rabbinical College, wrote in an open letter he addressed to fellow rabbis and religious leaders. “In the meanwhile, she must leave her second ‘husband,’ and if she has children, they will be considered bastards until relieved by a religious court.” Under traditional Jewish law, children classified as bastards — mamzerim in Hebrew — are not allowed to marry other Jews who are born to women considered to be legitimately married.
Epstein has long become the face of the struggle of chained women in America. A resident of Silver Spring, Maryland, she married Aharon Friedman in 2006; the couple’s only daughter was born a year later. In 2010 she and Friedman decided to separate; they got a civil divorce, but Friedman refused to provide his wife with a get, a religious bill of divorce, which is required under Jewish law to release the wife from the marriage. Epstein thus became an agunah, unable to remarry until her estranged husband grants her the religious divorce.
Epstein’s plight touched the hearts of many in the metropolitan Washington Orthodox community and led to a series of articles condemning Friedman. Her sympathizers held routine demonstrations outside Capitol Hill, where Friedman works as a congressional staff aide to Rep. Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican. Several area Orthodox synagogues decided to boycott Friedman, not allowing him to pray with the congregation until he signs his wife’s get. But despite the protests, Friedman has refused to grant the religious divorce, reportedly in an attempt to use the refusal to leverage his request for changing visiting rights of the couple’s daughter in his favor.
Some rabbinical authorities view the breakthrough that allowed Epstein to remarry as a creative solution. But others condemn it as a violation of Jewish law.
The breakthrough came earlier this fall, when a rabbinic authority in Philadelphia issued a heter, or permission, that annulled Epstein’s marriage based on the claim that Friedman was mentally ill at the time the couple married. The identity of this rabbinical authority was not disclosed, but according to several ultra-Orthodox websites it was likely to have been Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky, head of the Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia. In the past, Kamenetsky has worked to resolve Epstein’s situation.
Although the unnamed rabbinical authority was not provided with any professional mental evaluation of Friedman’s condition, the rabbi ruled that had Epstein known of these mental issues in advance, she would never have married Friedman, and therefore the marriage is annulled and Epstein is free to remarry. Annulment, while existing in traditional Jewish law, is a very rare procedure, and according to a source in the Orthodox community, it has never been used in modern times.
Epstein’s marriage to Adam Fleischer in a traditional Jewish ceremony in Memphis was officiated by Rabbi Nota Greenblatt, who is the head of the city’s Orthodox umbrella organization, Vaad Hakehilloth, and is a well known halachic authority.
The controversy that ensued centered on interpretation of religious law rather than on Epstein’s right to be released from her husband. Even those critical of the unusual halachic procedure were, for the most part, sympathetic to Epstein’s plight. They reiterated their call for Friedman to issue a religious divorce.
All parties involved declined to discuss the permission given to Epstein for her subsequent marriage, stating it was a private, personal issue.
Advocates of women’s rights under Jewish law were also cautious about the broader implications of this ruling. “There is a concept of annulment in Jewish law that can be applied in some cases, but I am neutral on this topic,” said Rabbi Jeremy Stern, executive director of the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot, an organization established to help chained women be set free. Stern said his group focuses on the need for divorced men to provide their ex-wives with a get.
Many rabbis argue that Epstein’s resort to what they view as a questionable procedure is inconsistent with Jewish law and will do nothing to solve the problem.
“It is clear at this point that Tamar Epstein is still married to Aharon Friedman — because the heter she received to remarry is a sad joke based on a clear corruption and misuse of halachic principles,” wrote Rabbi Dovid Eidensohn, one of the ultra-Orthodox community’s leading voices on issues of marriage.
Furthermore, rabbis who oppose the move are now working to sign up as many rabbinical voices as possible in the Orthodox community, to ensure that, in the future, the community does not accept Epstein’s annulment and the use of the practice.
“Until now, there were a few attempts” by rabbis to annul marriages, Feldman wrote. But they changed nothing, “because the protest of our rabbis silenced them.” But this time is different. “Now, this permission is coming from an important and significant rabbi, and if we do not protest, our pact will come apart,” Feldman warned. | 2019-04-22T20:37:37 | https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/agunah-tamar-epstein-to-remarry-is-it-legal-1.5430040 |

How Is Earth's Water System Linked With Land Use, Climate Change and Ecosystems?
A WSC project will look at Colorado's South Platte River: From mountains to urban lands.
How will climate change affect the connections between water sustainability and hydrologic processes?
To better understand how planet Earth's water cycle works, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded grants totaling almost $27 million through the Water Sustainability and Climate program.
WSC is part of NSF's Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability investment.
NSF's Directorates for Geosciences; Engineering; and Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences support the WSC awards.
"Among the most urgent challenges facing the world today is ensuring the adequate supply and quality of water, especially in light of burgeoning human needs and climate variability and change," says Marge Cavanaugh, NSF acting assistant director for Geosciences.
"Whereas the water imperative is global, WSC recognizes that water availability and quality issues must be examined at local scales where most water decisions are made," says Cavanaugh. "That's why WSC projects are placed-based, and each examines how global and regional climate changes are playing out in terms of water balance at the local scale."
WSC Category 1 awards are workshop planning grants; WSC Category 2 grants cover observatories and modeling; WSC Category 3 awards are for modeling.
"Water is a critical component to the success of American agriculture, yet there is a lack of understanding of how climate variability, land use and other environmental factors affect the water supply," says Sonny Ramaswamy, director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture. "These projects will allow us to better understand water sustainability and allow our producers and rural communities to prepare for future changes."
The goal of the new WSC projects--including studies of Rocky Mountain pine beetles, Los Angeles' water supply and the Sierra Nevada snowpack--is to understand and predict the interactions of Earth's water system with climate change, land use, the built environment and ecosystem function and services.
For example, more than four million acres of forests in Colorado and Wyoming are dying. The main culprit is the mountain pine beetle, a species of bark beetle native to the woodlands of western North America. Recent hot, dry summers and mild winters have led to an infestation of the beetles. It may be the largest forest insect blight ever seen in North America.
The result is stunning: dead trees lined up like so many fallen forest soldiers. But the invisible changes in watersheds in the Rocky Mountains, including the headwaters of the Platte and Colorado Rivers, may be a longer-lasting legacy.
Farther west, Los Angeles, like many cities in semi-arid regions, relies on centralized redistribution for its water supply. Water is transported hundreds of miles from mountain to city to support agricultural and urban needs in southern California. But water allocations from the mountain sources that feed L.A.'s water supply are declining. Drought, over-extraction and competing water needs have taken their toll.
In many arid and semi-arid regions of the world, including much of the western United States, water resources management plans are based on the assumption that the snowpack that accumulates in winter holds the majority of the water. This snowpack gradually melts, replenishing reservoirs as their supplies are meted out to satisfy human water and power demands.
Nowhere is that more true than in California's Sierra Nevada. This remote and sparsely populated mountain range supplies water and power for millions of people downstream. Will the Sierras be able to sustain that supply in the decades and centuries to come?
Only 2.5 percent of Earth's water is freshwater, and 98.8 percent of that is locked away in ice or hidden in groundwater. Less than 0.3 percent of all freshwater is in lakes, rivers and the atmosphere.
How can we better manage and predict water availability for future generations, given alterations to the water cycle caused by climate change and by more direct human activities?
The answers require a holistic understanding of complex water cycle and water resource processes, the feedbacks in a water system, and the vulnerability and resilience of water systems to climate and other human-caused change.
A water system comprises a drainage basin and its physical, chemical and biological constituents, including water networks, ecosystems, the built environment, the oceanic and atmospheric systems that govern evaporation and precipitation in the basin and the source water bodies and terminal lakes or seas into which the water flows.
There have been few attempts to study the entire water system with an integrative, systems science approach. WSC researchers will do just that.
This analysis of the planet's water system--of the feedbacks and links among climate change, ecosystems, built environments and human activities--will lead to the improved understanding, prediction and management of water resources, scientists believe.
"Earth has approximately 1,386 million cubic kilometers of water, most of which is the saltwater of oceans and seas," says Cavanaugh.
"What decisions will we make about the rest, the freshwater that's 'technically' available to us? Those decisions are for societies to make, and water sustainability researchers are working through WSC to fully inform those complex decisions."
WSC scientists will study the watershed of the Yakima River Basin in Washington State.

Take that in America. Take that in BLACK America imparticular. These are the thoughts of the conservative pundicrocity. Yesterday, Tammy Bruce, while sitting in for Laura Ingraham decided to release that little gem of philosophy in response to First Lady Michelle Obama’s visit to Anacostia High School. America, we are entering a dangerous moment in history. The level of victriol that the members of the Republican/Conservative media are using to describe the first BLACK leader of the western world and his family is unprecedented. But I have come to certain conclusions about this latest strain of venom being produced by the Wingnuts. Hate does not think.
These people have lost all form of power they have held in the last eight years, not unduly caused by there continued attempts at marginalizing the perspectives of the peoples of color in America. In this instance, Ms. Bruce felt the need to reduce herself to insulting the First lady of these United States, because she could not relate to the experience she was detailing during her presentation to the students of the majority black Anacostia High School. A complete devaluation of what has been the black experience since the first African was shanghaid from his mother country and forced to labor at the end of the lash. It is a definite undervaluation of our experience, but even more incidious is that the hate in Ms. Bruce’s rant comes from her jealousy.
She is jealous because the Obamas don’t fit her image of the black family. He is not a recovering crack-head , and she is not a illiterate baby factory. She hates them because they are stable, they are openly loving, and have stayed together for nearly 20 years. All of which must shatter her socially incorrect philosophy, and I might the philosophy of many of the conservative party. That philosophy being racism/white supremecy.
She redefined trash to be someone who grew up in an environment of unequality and struggled to do well because she was outcast as being “white” when she did well or did not speak slang. That, ladies and gentlemen, was the context of Michelle Obama’s conversation at Anacostia High School, and I would ad a conversation that stemmed from the accummulated experience Black people in this country over centuries. It was a description of a struggle against the status quo of racism. Not the marching, not the singing “We Shall Overcome”, that we see on TV. This was mental combat Michelle was talking about. The fight against centuries of mental degredation that has many of our young people believing that the only people who should press for academic success are white!
That’s why Bruce hates so much. It’s because even though Barack and Michelle have gone through Ivy League education and achieved large successes in their lives, they have not allowed it to remove them from the larger reality of this country. The reality that inner city schools (those servicing people of color the most) are more readily understaffed, delapidated and underfunded than their suburban counterparts; the reality that says Black men are being incarcerated at twice the rate as whites committing the same crimes; the reality of unequal advancement in the workplace, etc. etc. etc.
You see, Bruce thinks that the Obama’s should lay-up in the White House like good house negroes, happy that Massa has allowed them a mat in the basement instead of the hay in the barn.

The Right Or The Left – The Black Or The White – Why The In Between Is Always So Much Harder and Not Popular!
Why is it we fight the middle of the road? Because it’s never been a popular place to be. The slow and steady.
At 365 posts I will have reached my personal goal, but I will speak on that the day I get there in about a month’s time! For some of you who read me daily, you‘ll already know what I am talking about.
It’s that time of the year where we are asked to evaluate our last year in terms of what we feel we have accomplished and what might still need work.
One Year Of Blogging! I Am Grateful!
I have been blogging for a full year now! | 2019-04-26T00:23:18 | https://happyhealthywealthyliving.com/category/making-money/ |

Being a mother of boy's, the mud and grease stains are never ending. Tide Ultra Stain Release liquid laundry detergent works like magic. I no longer have to pre-soak or use spray stain release. The boys clothes come out smelling great and no more stains.
I reallyl enjoyed doing my laundry with Tide Ultra Stain Release Liquid Laundry Detergent! My kids seem to make it their mission in life to stain their clothes as much as possible so it can be tough to get their clothes looking clean, but the Tide Ultra Stain Release Liquid Laundry Detergent did that the first time with very little detergent. I would highly recommend this product and I will definitely be buying it again. Well worth the price! Great product! | 2019-04-19T06:49:58 | https://www.chickadvisor.com/item/tide-ultra-stain-release-liquid-laundry-detergent/?rid=695664 |
Not so keen on the strong ale these days mate. But the Two Towers is worth a visit some of us have been there, you get a good drink too.
I never knew about this ... I must take a trip.
It's just by Constitution Hill. They used to own the nearby Brown Lion pub too.
The beer was always likely to make it a popular attraction. Good on them. Looking at the cutting it says The Birmingham Wine School does tours. I suppose that includes a wine tasting, but can't see that there would be anything else worth seeing , just a load of people being taught.
now this is a very interesting tour...i organised a trip round the two towers brewery about 3 years back..
Not to put the brewery down but being listed on a website that promotes the place as a tourist attraction and then being voted as number one attraction by the same website hardly qualifies as a recommendation or a commendation. This advertising exercise is about as open and objective as the Miss World competition.
The idea that a small industrial unit gets more visitors than, say, The Museum and Art Gallery or Rackhams is preposterous.
It makes better Beer though and it is interesting.
would have loved a trip round ansells mitz..shame its no longer there..
Although its clearly a sales pitch, a mate and I are going to do a trip there in March, if not only to sample the beer ... as there seems to be a lot of beer sampling involved in the trip. | 2019-04-26T02:31:18 | http://205004.xobor.com/t1620f50-Two-Towers-Brewery-Success.html |
The polite and simple way to ask for money instead of traditional gifts.
Create a gift list inluding the things you really want. Department store items, honeymoon wishes, contributions towards large items or charity donations; you really can register anything.
Receive your gifts as cash giving you flexibility to buy things when and where you choose or shop around for the best deals online.
Best of all, it looks just like a traditional gift list allowing guests to make contributions toward ‘real’ items. Our research shows that guests would rather contribute toward a specific item, particularly if it is a special keepsake for the couple.
Quick and easy set up and management.
Set up time is approximately 3-4 minutes and your website is ready to go.
Our user-friendly editing suite is clear and simple to use. Even a complete novice can create a stunning and professional website in minutes.
Helpful how-to articles with step-by-step instructions for additional support.
Never receive an unwanted gift again. Your gift list has been designed by you so you’ll never have to worry about unwanted china or strange ornaments again.
Avoid duplicate wedding presents. As soon as something is purchased from your gift list, it cannot be purchased again.
Never have to go through the embarrassment of having to exchange a gift again.
No restrictions on what you can register from big department store items to something special from your favourite local boutique. Even items from small stores who may not offer gift lists or have even have their own website can be included.
Register anything - contributions toward a deposit for a new home or let your friends & family buy you that loft extension, new kitchen or finance further study. Your online gift list can include anything you want.
24hr access to your money.
Email updates every time a purchase is made from your gift list.
View and manage your money any time and from anywhere in the world.
Request funds anytime, 24hrs a day leading up to or after the big day.
Money transfers are free and unlimited.
Your guests can make their purchases online, anytime 24hrs a day without having to travel to special stores or locations to find a gift.
No credit card or delivery fees.
As soon as items are purchased, the money is yours to do with what you wish.
No longer stuck waiting for department store gift lists to close, only to find out that they no longer stock the dinner set you originally registered eight weeks ago.
Spend your money where and how you choose; you’re never tied into preferred suppliers or partners/sponsors - if you can find a better deal on that perfect toaster, that leaves you more money to spend on additional items.
View & edit your website & online gift list from anywhere in the world, any time of day.
Add to, edit or delete items from your gift list as often as you like leading up to the big day.

No set up costs or subscriptions fees – Other companies will charge set up fees of up to £250, or wait until you have created your site before hitting you with monthly ‘subscription’ fees of up to £20 per month. If, like most of our customers, you’re setting up a website to coincide with your ‘Save-the-date’ cards, this can work out to be very expensive indeed. Just the Thing websites are free and if you decide not to have a wedding gift list with us, they’re still free.

We are the perfect solution for couples marrying abroad. Your gifts can be transferred directly into your UK bank account to save you having to carry gifts home again from your wedding abroad.

Privacy & protection – With Just the Thing, your details are 100% secure. Other companies make their money by selling your details on to other wedding suppliers.

No hidden costs – Many of our competitors claim to offer a ‘free’ service, and then hide additional costs in their T&Cs such as: transfer fees, hosting fees or worst of all, credit/card or purchase fees for your guests (which they may never actually tell you about!). We think this is dishonest and deplorable; our admin fee includes everything and neither you nor your guests will ever be stung with hidden fees.

Our fee is flexible and can be deducted from the balance of your gift account OR, select the option to have guests pay it for you and it will be covered by a discrete addition to the price of each gift.

This means that our service costs you nothing at all. | 2019-04-25T08:21:52 | https://blissandbloom.com/Default.aspx?go=WhyUseUs |
Cosmopolitan Montréal is Canada's second-largest city and cultural capital. It is the third-largest French-speaking city in the world and has been dubbed the "Paris of the North."
Cultural contrasts are widespread as, although Montréal is predominantly French in culture, ethnic diversity abounds.
This is a city of great charm, as you'll discover in its sympathetic blend of the old and the new, from the Place d'Armes and its beautiful 18th-century buildings to the ultra-modern downtown area.
Montréal received international acclaim when it hosted Expo `67 and the 1976 Summer Olympic Games. Its exuberant vitality promises to keep it at the forefront of great world cities well into this century and beyond.
Québec stands proudly beside the majestic St. Lawrence River, resembling no other city in the world. Its cuisine, language and traditions combine to make this a unique cradle of French civilization in North America. Within fortress walls high atop Cap Diamant, the old city is a sheer delight for lovers of history. Here, magnificent churches, cobbled streets, fragrant gardens and chic boutiques all vie for your attention. Just outside the city, you'll discover a veritable riot of fall colors, North America's largest shrine, picturesque villages and an impressive waterfall. At the end of the day, there is the tempting opportunity to discover the French art of good cooking at some of North America's finest restaurants.
You can tell a lot about a town from its name and its motto. Such is the case for Charlottetown, a city located on the picturesque Prince Edward Island and named after Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III. The city’s motto, “Cunabula Foederis” means “Birthplace of Confederation,” and refers to the historic 1864 Charlottetown Conference that led to the creation of the independent Dominion of Canada. European roots fed by a streak of independence gives the city a quaint and cozy feel, enlivened by a brisk sense of confidence and good cheer. Stately buildings are painted in rich and colorful hues, in a city that is equally hospitable to free spirits as well as those with more conventional tastes.
Your visit provides you with opportunities to experience it all — Victorian houses, leafy parks, nationally-ranked galleries and the redeveloped waterfront.
As your Crystal ship approaches the pier, bagpipers bid a warm welcome to Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia and the most Scottish of all Canada’s great cities. Fall in love with Halifax’s architectural blend of old and new. The Citadel Fortress, which dates back to the city’s founding in 1749 with the present complex completed in 1856, stands over the thriving downtown area, where modern office and hotel blocks nestle alongside the exquisitely restored Historic Properties waterfront shopping area. Shoppers will delight in the authenticity of buys from colorful Scottish tartans to pewter and superb hand-knit woolens. Nova Scotians claim they have the freshest air and warmest smiles in Canada.
The largest city in Maine and the state’s social and economic capital, Portland is a vibrant and historic destination. A favorite place for strolling, dining, shopping and entertainment is the Old Port, a revitalized warehouse district made all the more interesting for its connection to the working waterfront.
The Arts District is situated just a few blocks away and is considered the city’s secret treasure. Word is fast getting out, however, because the neighborhood is home to an array of art galleries, antiques shops, artists’ studios and world-class museums such as the Portland Museum of Art. Any exploration of the Arts District should include a walk along Congress Street for a glimpse into the city’s history, a highlight of which is the Wadsworth-Longfellow House, the 19th-century home of the famed poet. Another well-known writer, Stephen King, was born here in Portland in 1947.
Relive nearly four hundred years of history as you explore myriad sights of Boston, a city that exudes pride in its past and future. Superb shopping abounds and sightseeing attractions are legendary. You'll revel in exploring the Freedom Trail, the Old North Church and the Boston Common. A few miles away lie Lexington and Concord where the momentous events that began in 1775 come alive. Boston has not been content to rest on the laurels of its glorious past. Progress is everywhere. Glazed high-rises soar skyward and the colorful waterfront area has been artfully renovated. Your visit to this thriving metropolis is bound to impress.
Newport, Rhode Island, is a stylish, world-famous yachting center with a long tradition of elegance. For almost a century and a half, it was the home of the America's Cup yachting races. The colonial sections of Newport boast many authentic historic buildings, some dating back to the 1600s. However, most impressive of all, are the opulent mansions built at the turn of this century by industrial tycoons along Ocean Drive and Bellevue Avenue. Fashioned after the palaces of Europe their interiors boast lavish use of marble, alabaster, gilt, mosaics and stained glass complemented by magnificent furnishings and fine tapestries. You'll be spellbound listening to the legends and stories of families such as the Morgans, Astors, Fishers and Vanderbilts, all of whom had "cottages" here. Although Rhode Island is America's smallest state, it has a legacy of history and tradition that far outweighs it size. | 2019-04-22T02:37:20 | http://www.cruising.co.uk/crystal-symphony-10-night-autumn-tapestry-montreal-to-new-york |
Use tomatoes held at room temperature until fully ripe. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each tomato and discard; then cut remaining tomatoes into 4 slices each; set aside. In a small bowl, mix oil, lemon juice, mustard, salt and sugar until well blended. In a medium bowl, toss greens with about 1 tablespoon of the dressing. On each of 4 plates, place a bottom tomato slice; sprinkle lightly with cheese and greens, repeat layering 3 more times ending with the top tomato slice; drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve as an appetizer or salad, with grilled beef or chicken, with cheese and fish, etc. | 2019-04-20T18:32:39 | https://www.floridatomatoes.org/recipes/fresh-tomato-napoleon/ |

Being an entrepreneur and small business owner, I love to hear success stories of talented people who started companies with the goal to make a difference and to bring something new to the market; people driven by a vision, a passion, a curiosity, and a determination; people with a mission. Michael Shaikin is one of them.
Michael is the owner of The Modern Shop which has two stores/showrooms in Ottawa, Canada. Not many Canada-based shops have such a great assortment of modern furniture, lighting, and accessories from top brands. It is a go-to place for a special gift or to finally splurge on that designer piece you’ve been eyeing for a while. And they’ve got loads of fabulous Scandinavian designs, which is why I personally like to visit The Modern Shop, obviously!
I was curious as to find out more about Michael, fellow design fan, and the story behind his shop, and he kindly agreed to answer my questions.
A: In 2009 I noticed a serious lack of modern design shops in Canada. I also noticed not many shops worldwide would ship here, so I opened the shop in 2010.
A: We carry everything from $1 erasers to $50,000 lights. I wanted to bring everything modern to Canadians and not just focus on high-end exclusive products as many other shops do.
A: Trade shows mainly, sometimes designers or clients will tell me about a product they’ve seen and ask us to source it. I always love finding new up-and-coming brands that way.
Q: What are the biggest challenges you face in running your own store?
A: Shipping, logistics. The Canadian dollar.
A: Our new website is pretty incredible. We worked really hard with the folks at Up Later Than You & Shopify to create it.
Q: Do you have any special projects or exciting future plans?
A: At the moment no but our lease is up in a couple of years and plans are to open a larger store somewhere in Ottawa.
Q: Is style important in a home? If so, why?
A: Yes, of course. There’s nothing worse than going into a brand new home which costs millions to build and seeing IKEA lights hanging over their $50k kitchen island. Facepalm!
Q: What is your take on the current trend of “buying less, but better”? Do you find it important and if so, why?
A: Yes, it is very important. I think if you spend a little more on something you really want – you will love it forever. Spend less on something you aren’t really into, and you’ll just end up trading up in the end and spending the same if not more money.
Q: How does design benefits a lifestyle? Why is it important?
A: You just feel good waking up surrounded by beautiful things. I have a vintage George Nelson MAA chair at home and its one of the first things I see when I wake up. It always makes me smile.
A: I collect Clairtone Stereos. Made in Canada. I have a G2 and a G3 right now and just recently sold my Project G. Those are magnificent machines.
Make sure to visit The Modern Shop for well-curated design, and don’t forget to bookmark this great shop!
Brands: Wrong for Hay, Woud, Architectmade, Tom Dixon, Gubi, Frama, ferm LIVING, Muuto, Georg Jensen, Skultuna, HAY, Sagaform, Menu, and many, many more!

c. 1600, "offspring of plants or animals of different variety or species," from Latin hybrida, variant of ibrida "mongrel," specifically "offspring of a tame sow and a wild boar," of unknown origin but probably from Greek and somehow related to hubris. A rare word before the general sense "anything a product of two heterogeneous things" emerged c. 1850. The adjective is attested from 1716. As a noun meaning "automobile powered by an engine that uses both electricity and gasoline," 2002, short for hybrid vehicle, etc. | 2019-04-22T16:49:08 | https://www.etymonline.com/word/hybrid |
I whipped up a summery Ruby Dress to wear to my sister’s wedding in April and I absolutely love how it turned out so here I am to share it with you!
I wore it with the Grainline Morris Blazer – although it was a crazy hot day so it didn’t get worn much! – and also made a matching clutch – because why not?!
The fabric is a beautifully light rayon challis from 1st for Fabrics; I think it’s out of stock now but they do have some other gorgeous prints! www.1stforfabrics.co.uk. I also got some of their dress lining to line the bodice – which I’ll show you how to do.
The pattern shows you how to sew the dress with facings. Switching the facings for linings is easier than you may think. Firstly cut the bodice front and bodice backs out of your lining fabric – exactly the same as what you cut out of your main fabric. Mark your darts in the same way too.
Then sew all the darts in both your main and lining fabrics, and sew the shoulders together of the lining pieces, and of the main pieces.
Once that’s done, you’ll sew the main and lining bodice pieces together, right sides together. Sew around the armholes and neck, but not the side seams or back seams. Trim and clip curves – or kill two birds with one stone and use pinking shears like me!
Turn the bodice right sides out (pull the back bodice pieces through the shoulders to the front), and give it a good press.
Now it’s time to sew the side seams together. You’ll sew the main bodice front to the main bodice back, and the lining front to the lining back. So open out the raw edges where you’ve already joined your front to backs, and start by matching the seams together so it’s nice and neat. Pin (or clip!) those raw edges together, and sew down. Repeat for the other side seam.
Now on to the skirt: sew the back pieces to the front piece, down the sides – and finish the seam (I overlocked – this fabric frays!!). You’ll have a long piece now – don’t sew the backs together yet.
To attach the bodice to the skirt, you’ll move the lining out of the way and pin the main bodice right sides together to the skirt. Hopefully your side seams will match nicely. Sew all the way across, remembering not to sew the lining down. Press all the seam allowance upwards.
Now it’s time to insert a concealed zip. Pay attention to the back bodice/skirt seams matching. The top of the zip tape should hit the top of the bodice, so that when we fold the lining over, the actual zip will go all the way to the top.
Once the zip is in, you can hand sew the lining to the inside of the dress. Your seam allowance should be pressed upwards. Press your lining’s seam allowance to the wrong side. Now you can overlap the bottom of the lining over the raw edges/seam allowance of the main fabric. Ideally pin and tack, especially if you’re using a slippery fabric like rayon as you may find that the fabric has slipped about and you have to alter the size of your pressed up lining seam allowance to get a clean fit. Hand sew a ladder stitch all the way around; you’ll also go down the zip too, so everything is all neatly enclosed.
Finally it’s time to hem! You can choose a narrow hem or for a lightweight rayon like I used, a rolled hem is perfect.
Ta-dah! I’ll finish with a photo of myself and my girls in their semi-matching dresses at the wedding.
Thank you for sharing. The dresses are beautiful – and I love the idea of a matching clutch! | 2019-04-21T02:22:01 | https://simplesewblog.com/after-dark-sewings-ruby-dress-adding-a-lined-bodice/ |

Best Way to Build Muscles Swiftly?
There is no specific best way to make muscle mass immediate, but instead a variety of reason that may enable you to headed for establish major put on within a sharp time period. Figure muscles isn't a immediately process, all of which will abstract strength, on the contrary somber lean muscle improvements sometimes appears in a stuff of the couple of weeks if achieved right, and minus the requirement of pills as well as other drugs.
Now I'm gonna teach you the best technique to make muscles in advance, and so if you're a hardgainer which struggles to realize authority and also figupon muscle, at that time shelled out finale interest at the same time as these word of advice will probably be remarkably foremost available for you.
Really the easiest way to create muscle tissue at once lives by swopping the eating plan as a result that will anyone plague more capacity and more generally. 3 tetragon meals per day very soon puzzles out reduction the idea I'm scared, ever since there exists an excessive amount of of your interruption among dinners leading to the cadaver seeking and also handling your current lean muscle muscle as being a spokesperson of one's, in point of fact stunting your own lean muscle expansion - this really is very factual pertaining to hardgainers after that ectomorphs. 3 mealtimes each day moreover means that we have a tendency to overdose taking place those dinners, presage we put in storage other fat in order to find this harder on the way to digest plus create usage of for energy.
6 lesser save for regular dinners a day can keep ones metabolism after that electricity dead flat continual. Focusing on protein-rich fares (like rest animal meat, trawl, egg cell light), noble carbohydrates (portion of oatmeal, fair spuds, wholegrain hemp), afterward talented extra fat (slippery angle, fanatic, avocadoes), command feed people and your leans muscle, resulting in additional in harmony lean muscle enlargement.
An average men's seeming to be to build lean muscle like lightning, should have a look at take in 3,000 near 3,500 or maybe more associated with satisfactory worth calories each day, specifically if he's an average hardgainer.
You've most likely been told a number of people talk about isolation assignments as a consequence they'll disclose things such as “Saturday befalls our appendages period, Tuesday is present my personal buttresses day…”, as a consequence they'll invest like 1 hour or even a couple of performing each of the applies underneath the sunlight that oblige completely those muscle mass.
Alas, this may not be the easiest method to assemble muscle mass ahead, for a few rationalises.
1) Investing a whole lot stage one muscle mass classify preference drain that will muscle mass party else swiftly, and thus representing nearly all from the exercises you'll befallen accomplishing at 50 percent intensity, but not gain so as to muscle's evolution.
2) Too much seclusion know how to have in mind you barely workout every one muscles assemble it's possible just the once per 7 days. It's not a sufficient amount if you'd like on the way to envision immense muscle mass gains.

The TX-1000VA-4XAO power transformer from Larson Electronics.com provides operators with an effective way to reduce common 120 or 240 VAC current to 12/24 VDC or 12/24 VAC depending upon configuration, in order to power lights and equipment which require low voltages. This power transformer features an adjustable voltage controller which allows operators to increase the voltage levels in order to compensate for voltage drops that occur when very long cords are used. If an operator switches from a 50 foot cord to a 150 foot cord and notices a reduction in light output from a set of lamps for example, they can increase the voltage to 18 volts in order to ensure the lamps receive a full 12 volts. The transformer in this unit is mounted within a weatherproof enclosure that is NEMA 3R rated giving it protection against driving water, and a raised base protects the unit from standing water as well. Low voltage power output from this portable transformer is provide by 4 I-520 twist lock receptacles, and an included pair of GFCI protected 1523 receptacles provide access to standard 120/240 voltage. The TX-1000VA-4XAO power distribution system is fitted with a 6 foot SOOW cord with standard 1523 plug on the input side to allow connection to 120 VAC, and an optional high voltage plug is available for 240 VAC connections. This portable power transformer is ideal for powering low voltage lights and equipment and is popular with operators working within hazardous locations who need a low voltage power solution for powering explosion proof lighting equipment.
Larson Electronics.com carries a wide variety of power transformers, inline transformers, ac/dc power converters, golights, spotlights and a large line of led light bars and emitters.

By the end of the 19th century, our knowledge of the structure of matter looked more or less complete – so much so that smart people were actually discouraged from joining this dead field of theoretical physics. 실제로, there were some loose ends – like radioactivity, subatomic structure etc., but they were expected to be minor extensions of the theories that enjoyed currency at that point in time.
Before getting into modern physics, and why it was needed, we need to set the boundaries of what classical physics is. It is the physics of things we can see or imagine. It describes and (even explains in terms of simple or general laws) the behavior of this of human scale. The term “human scale” is vague and deeply unscientific, but it is a fairly generous bracket of lengths, speeds and masses. It will easily encompass anything from a microbe to a planet in size (from microns to thousands of km in length). The bracket in speed will easily include the fastest object we are likely to encounter, such as the fastest meteorite that was clocked at over 100,000 km/h. 물론, I am ignoring the particles (and light itself) that we are bombarded with all the time – classical physics cannot handle those. But it can handle even the largest object, like our planets and even the sun, very nicely.
사실, classical physics has been spectacular in describing almost everything we knew until the turn of the 20th century. It includes everything that you learned in physics through high school.
Heat, optics, 소리, waves etc.
Radioactivity, 알파, 베타, gamma radiations, x-rays.
그림에서 4, I have drawn a pictorial representation of what kind of physics we need to apply when we go beyond human scales. On the x-axis we have size or scale, on the y-axis, the speed.
일반 상대성, Quantum Gravity, string theory etc. are not needed to appreciate our current state of knowledge of particle physics. But I will touch upon those monsters as well, for the sake of completeness. | 2019-04-24T23:59:01 | http://www.thulasidas.com/classical-physics/?lang=ko |

I'm so glad Vince and Gloria asked me to shoot their San Pedro wedding. They're such a great couple! It was a fun wedding and a great day!

Virginia Woolf’s diary note suggests a mix of surprise, relief and pride. The instant success of The Waves, which is no doubt her most dense and richest novel, was totally unexpected. The challenge she had set herself was to “give in a very few strokes the essentials of a person’s character” and to express the “fluidity out there”, the chaos of both life and nature. There is no external narrative, no story or plot, but a succession of inner monologues, intermingled thoughts spoken by six “voices”. These voices belong to three men and three women who meet as young children in a nursery; they then drift apart but come together again at key moments in their lives.
The book is based on a paradox as it makes silence speak. By unlocking the world of memory and feeling, it gives a tongue to the things we do not say. In order to puzzle the reader even further, Virginia Woolf wanted the different voices to be seen as aspects or facets of one single person rather than as separate characters.
By then Virginia Woolf had moved back to a more solid, physical grounding away from the dream-like, lyrical texture of The Waves, which is not the kind of book that you can dip in and out of on a bus journey or turn to after a long night out since you constantly have to piece bits and bobs together. The novel is a complex mosaic made up of echoes and eerily beautiful clusters of images.
Not surprisingly, this is the text that Katie Mitchell, one of the most radical directors working in British theatre today, decided to put on stage in 2006. The production has just been revived at the National in London and will then go on tour, Luxembourg being one of its ports of call. When asked why she had picked The Waves, Mitchell said that it had to be that novel because it was the hardest to do… It has led her to explore new territory with live-produced video footage, sound effects and music played off-stage.
While these various elements help recreate the multi-layered, crammed nature of the book, the stage itself looks like a recording studio, a hive of activity in which intricate set-ups are changed and rearranged relentlessly. Being an audience member is a bit like eating in an open-plan restaurant, where you savour the end-product after watching it being concocted.
A precious challenge and a genuine visual treat for anyone interested in Woolf’s writing or in theatre as an art form. Again and again, surreal close-ups of faces projected onto a large screen break through the unwavering long-shot of conventional productions and allow you to become part of a mesmerising experience. Also, it will be a unique opportunity to meet Virginia Woolf herself: she appears on stage as a narrator, cigarette in hand! | 2019-04-23T14:19:15 | http://www.land.lu/page/article/929/2929/DEU/index.html |

Now, some people think that entries in blahgs should have titles. I myself lean toward this philosophy, since it's important to be able to figure out what the subject matter of an article is, and this is where the title comes in.
You might have noticed, however, that there are no titles here. Why is that? Well, because frankly nothing I'm writing deserves titular recognition. | 2019-04-22T20:26:24 | http://easier-rhino.blogspot.com/2006/03/now-some-people-think-that-entries-in.html |
I have something to share with you. It’s going to sound strange, but here goes: for a couple of years now, I’ve been getting messages from the universe.
They always seem to come in the hours before dawn, where I can digest them while the house is still quiet, before the daily craziness ensues. When they first started, I was unsure what to think of them: were they really meant for me?Should I laugh them off or ignore them? Or was there something in them I should pay attention to and and take seriously?
Over time, as they continued to show up, I began to look forward to them. I became eager to decipher their meaning and on the few days they didn’t come, I missed them. But I haven’t told you the really strange part. They show up in my email inbox.
What I’m talking about is a free service you sign up for and every weekday morning you receive a message in your email from the “universe.” Most are fun and clever while a few are corny, but all of them seem to be just what I need to get a jump on the day.
Someone once said, “A coach is a person who makes you do all the things you don’t want to do, so you can become the person you want to be.” Good words, however, I’m a big believer in being your own coach—something I’ll talk about in another post—because as much as I trust in the right coach and mentor, and always have an eye out for one, they are not always with you, every hour of the day. We must develop our own coach/mentor mentality to create the best selves we can be. But I digress.
These notes from the universe are just what I need to ensure I’m in the right frame of mind at the beginning of the day. They are the “coach” that fires me up, or makes me think before the day’s chaos begins. My only complaint is they only come on the weekdays. I suppose the universe thinks most people don’t need a pep talk on the weekends.
I’ve passed them on to several friends, all who were a little unsure of them at first, but soon came to cherish their arrival. So if you’d like a little oomph to start your day, give them a try. You can sign up here.
Seeing the title I almost didn’t have time to read this one. Thanks – signed up full fledge member of TUT. Admire the concept and glad you could point me once again in the direction of better living!
I, too, receive Notes From the Universe. Many times they mirror exactly what I am experiencing, or about to, as with the carnival he talked about a year ago. I drove uptown that day, only to see a carnival setting up on the edge of it! I Love how the Universe mirrors our thoughts back to us. It’s my understanding that more and more people are receiving messages from The Universe, especially in the wee morning hours. These messages/images always provide food for thought, action I need to take, or clarification on an issue I’m working on. Some remain enigmatic, while I await further direction or understanding. The Universe is amazing and beautiful. Ain’t we got fun?
There is nothing strange about getting messages from the universe. I’ve been getting them from years, but I didn’t know I’d have to pop open my computer to get one. Mine come from connecting with the right person at the right time. Those meetings often lead to solving a problem or creating a clear path to a positive future. Like your messages, many of my messages from the universe come early in the morning, while I’m still dreaming. That’s why I write from the heart that which stirs my soul. The story in my novel, Whispers from St. Mary’s Well, came to me from my dreams, which is why I always hit the keyboard at four or five o’clock in the morning. The universe speaks well. Not being as young or techno-savvy as you, I didn’t know I could find such messages in email. I’ll have to check it out. As always, I’ve just learned a lovely Lesson from the Cockpit. | 2019-04-19T06:19:49 | https://www.christopherlaney.com/blog/2010/06/21/notes-from-the-universe/ |
On Tuesday, August 29, 1899, eighteen representatives from nine of the thirteen original Eastern Star Chapters in Georgia met in Savannah for the purpose of organizing themselves into a Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star for the State of Georgia.
It was a dreary day, raining continuously throughout the day, but this did not dampen the spirits of those noble Pioneers who has seen the Star in the East and had come to set in motion an organization that would perpetuate its existence in Georgia.
Leaders at this momentous occasion were the Honorable Brother W. E. Terry, Most Worshipful Grand Master and the Honorable Sol C. Johnson, Right Worshipful Grand Secretary of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Union Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Georgia.
Officers elected to serve for this first Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star for the State of Georgia and Jurisdiction were: Brother W. E. Terry, Worthy Grand Patron; Sister Mary L. Sellers (Ayers), Grand Associate Matron; Sister Annie L. Babcock, Grand Conductress; Brother L. F. Burgess, Grand Lecturer. | 2019-04-22T03:02:04 | https://darrell-hobson.squarespace.com/prince-hall-grand-chapter/ |
How Effectively Are Your Recruitment Agency Competitors Leveraging Social Media?
Are your competitors reaching passive candidates on Facebook? Could you be generating more client leads with Twitter? How much website traffic are you missing out on by not being more active on social media? If you’re anything like our clients, you’re no doubt eager to make sure your competitors aren’t getting results in ways you’re missing out on. You wouldn't want them to have figured out ways of attracting lots of passive candidates to engage with their agency... or worse still, to have perfected how to use social media to bring new client leads into the business.
In some sectors there are now clear leaders emerging, in terms of agencies who've mastered getting results from social media. In the majority of sectors this isn't yet the case - and the potential to become that market leader is still very much up for grabs. Your first step in becoming that market leader may well be figuring out just how effectively others in your market are already using social media.
The following type of analysis can be produced within a couple of weeks - with this level of detail, or in far greater depth, depending on how seriously you'd like to understand existing activity in your market (see report commissioning if you can't do this work in-house).
Here's a snapshot of the mid-sized Digital Marketing / Agency recruitment market in London from some analysis we did earlier this year. You'll see there are big differences in the results these agencies are getting from social media - and some agencies who've clearly invested in this more than others (though note that none have built an insurmountable lead).
A quick analysis of where companies are generating shares of their website content is enlightening. The chart below shows that the agencies in this sector have focused more on LinkedIn than anywhere else, with modest activity on Facebook and Twitter.
This finding is really interesting, because recruitment agencies typically generate the most candidate and client interest from Twitter and Facebook, once they’ve experimented with branching out beyond LinkedIn that is. So in this niche, monopolising the market reach offered by social media is still very much up for grabs. To reinforce this point, we would expect a recruitment agency in a social media savvy sector like this to be generating 200+ shares per post if it had invested in some content and had built a half-decent social media presence. Therefore the current performance levels could easily be surpassed within a few months by a recruitment agency investing in having the best presence in the market.
There’s the potential for one or more competitors in this market to rapidly improve the results being generated from Twitter. We can see from the following pie chart that some of the agencies in this market have already invested in a Twitter presence and built a decent following. Both Blu Digital and 3Search could drive significant web traffic from Twitter with the right content strategy and tactics to leverage this existing Twitter audience.
The picture is markedly different when we look at Facebook, where we can see that only Gemini People have invested in growing an audience there - though some agencies may be advertising “below the radar” on Facebook.
The two elements of social media activity that really generate results for recruitment agencies are engagement and social sharing. If we start with social sharing first, the huge power of social media is to have your brand and its content made visible to an audience that extends way beyond the candidates and clients who already know and interact with your business.
A good benchmark here is that a company reaches an audience that is at least 10 times as big as its own fan or follower count. So for example, each Social-Hire account with 50,000+ followers we would usually see reaching an audience of 500,000 to 1 million people a month.
No one in this market is anywhere close to achieving this viral reach effect, so the opportunity to become the market leader is very much there for the taking.
Alongside social sharing, engagement is also key. If lots of people are engaging with your social media updates, they are far more likely to respond when you put an advert or a request for help in front of them. Plus each and every time someone engages with your company in some way on social media, that creates the window of opportunity to start a conversation with them - particularly key if you want to generate client leads or want to build rapport with passive candidates.
Data for Twitter and Facebook below shows the varying levels of social sharing and engagement that the competitors in this niche market have achieved over the preceding weeks. There’s considerable room for improvement with all these accounts, with none of them having mastered influencer marketing for example.
Clearly defining the target audience your company wishes to appeal to - and the actions you would want your audience to take over the coming year to make them valuable for your business.
Writing profiles and developing a content strategy that will make your company profiles appealing to your target audience to follow and interact with.
Proactively ensuring your company profiles are seen by as many candidates / clients / influencers in your market as possible.
Experimenting with engagement and conversion tactics to ensure that your growing social media audience turns into a flow of candidates you can place (or new client enquiries you can act upon).
I hope this has inspired you to investigate your own niche market - and given you a good steer on how you would then dominate social media at the expense of your recruitment agency competitors. If you need some help with this, see below. Good luck!
Doing a good job of this will require having a marketing expert whose time is at least 50% devoted to social media activities, or an admin person working on this more or less full time. You’re welcome to book in for a social media consultation (£149 + Vat) to work through these four steps with us if you’re going to attempt to do this work in-house. Or for a more comprehensive assessment you could commission a report on your market, complete with our recommended strategies and an hour’s consultation to talk through our in-depth findings.
Alternatively, the most cost-effective option that's also likely to generate the most compelling results is to outsource your social media activities to Social-Hire (max. £899 + Vat per month, a tiny fraction of what it costs to employ someone to do this). If you’d like to talk through this option, simply book in for a convenient call time. Our testimonials say all that needs to be said about the effectiveness of this approach - see here. | 2019-04-23T20:11:40 | https://www.social-hire.com/blog/recruitment/how-effectively-are-your-recruitment-agency-competitors-leveraging-social-media/ |

I used to attach the tatting to the rings with invisible cotton, but this time thought I would try a different method and rather like the effect of twisting the thread around the rings.
Which ever method is used though it is a fiddly process.
In my next blog post there will be a give-away to celebrate the New Year.
No I'm not referring to 'Tat Days' but an experience when visiting someone yesterday who every year I give a tatted tree ornament to. The person is now more or less bed ridden but the family put the tree up and hang the ornaments on it. Here is a picture of some of them, there must be about eight altogether spread around the tree. I had actually forgotten that I had made these, unfortunately I have no record of the design.
However, I just can't stop tatting the button snowflake because it just looks great in whatever colour I use and I am giving them away as fast as I can make them! The one on the left though is slightly different.
After Christmas I hope to hold a 'giveaway' which will be (when it is made) a pop-a-bobbin shuttle to thank all those who regularly visit this blog and in particular those who comment, perhaps not regularly, but at least from time to time. I'm getting excited thinking about it, hope you are?
Okay I'm not meant to be too serious in this blog post, instructions from big sister! However, firstly you all need to know the meaning of the title 'Boxed Clever', well other than making tatted boxes! It means to use one’s resources beyond conventional ways. Not necessary “thinking outside the box”, although this might happen but it is not quite accurate. Boxed clever or 'boxing clever', means not only thinking outside the box, but re-defining the common thought process itself . It’s the ability to evaluate the current thought process, and replace it with a new, more superior, more productive, more efficient thought process. Does that sound like Jane?!
The pink and green box was my first attempt, there were a few issues when it came to the second side, Jane and I agreed to disagree on which way to turn the work! She really was calling me 'a pain' at this point, or may be a 'daft mo'!
If Jane designs another pattern before Christmas I will scream, cards are not being written, sermons are not being prepared and as for housework, well what can you do when there is a thread invasion?
It is one of those amazing dates today that just needs to be shouted out and celebrated or just recognised on my blog!
This will be the last date of its kind - when all three numericals in a date are the same - for the next 88 years. The next time this will happen is on January 1, 2101, or 01-01-01.
The number 12 has a great significance in many cultures. In western tradition, it is commonly associated with completeness and seen as a perfect and harmonious unit. As such, it has found its way into religion (e.g. the 12 apostles), mythology (e.g. the 12 gods of Olympus), and every day life (e.g. 12 hours on a modern clock face).
I have been busy (around the clock!) test tatting another of Jane's clever designs but it would not be fair to show you until she has announced it first, it caused a little bit of a problem (on my part) but all seems to be resolved now and I am just excited about it as she is.
Whilst in America at Tat Days I was extremely fortunate to be given some lovely gifts, one was the name tag on the scissors which I purchased from the vending room. I would like to thank the giver personally but I don't know who she is. I will now never loose my scissors and this piece of tatting means a lot to me.
As you can see the bracelet and the book mark are made from the same Lizbeth thread which I have strangely taken a disliking to over the last few months.
It is amazing how tastes change and it has happened a lot in tatting to me over the last six months. I blame all those wonderful HDTs which you can now buy.
Anyway enjoy what is left of 12.12.12 where ever you are in the world.
I was asked to make two sets of button necklaces and earrings way back in May, I was told there was no hurry! After returning from my trips to other parts of the world it became necessary to sit down and finish them. Unfortunately I found this very hard to do for many reasons. Tat Days inspired me to do other projects and then Jane keeps designing more patterns especially using buttons. Also I had to catch up with other things going on in my life. I finally completed them last weekend.
I actually lost interest in making these necklaces which had to be made in the colours requested. The purple one was started in June and by the time I came back from the USA in September I had purchased threads and beads that I liked much better and nearly cut it up and started again, but persevered and actually finished it whilst staying with Jane.
I have been also hit with a 'doodad challenge' from Diana, look at what she sent me.
I am out of hibernation (but didn't get much sleep) and seemed to have got rid of my computer frustration, well for a little while! This past week I have been extremely busy sorting out the photos on my blog, or rather where they are stored in Picasa and then downsizing them. I had no idea that was the problem, just uploaded everything on to the blog without a thought to how much space they were taking. Lesson learnt. Big sister came to my rescue and you can see her blog post talking about it here.
With the pink bracelet I added the beads from the core (shuttle) thread whilst on the yellow bracelet they were on the ball thread.
This is the only bit of tatting I managed over the last week. I had thought about making these bracelets for a while and recently noticed Janemactats and it inspired me to actually do something about the idea.
So I am blogging again and thanks to those who commented on my last blog post, would really have not wanted to be away for too long as I would have also missed you.
Not sure if this will be my last blog post for a while as I am having trouble with blogger and photographs. Here are some badly scanned buttons which you will have seen on Jane's blog today. A fantastic pattern which has given me hours of fun whilst making them.
However, I am loosing patience with computers and have decided to go into hibernation until all problems have been sorted.
Just wanted to say thank you to all who have bought shuttles etc from Jane's shop, there are still a few items left which have been made by 'im in the garage, including these bobbin holders. There is a story about the wood that they are made from, we purchased the wood from a funeral director. Many, many years ago his late father had purchased the mahogany to make coffins out of. Now a days most coffins are mass produced so this wood was doing nothing, just stacked up in a garage. It is lovely mature wood, rich in colour and the bobbin holders are a work of art as well as being very practicable. Here is the link to the wood when it arrived at our house.
One of the problems when writing a tatting pattern to be used with a bauble or button is that even with the best will in the world, it is not always easy to find a universal pattern that fits all, even measuring buttons and baubles does not always work! Threads can also vary, not to mention every ones different tatting tension. So I've tried my best with this pattern and just ask that if you use it, then test it first and alter your stitch count accordingly, especially if it is not a cosy fit over the bauble. When you have finished the pattern the bauble cover should look something like this.
To complete fit over the bauble and thread a piece of tatting cotton through the gap made between one of the sets of bugle beads (five gaps 10 bugle beads altogether) continue through the rest of them and draw up tight then add a large bead or beads, thread more cotton through the pulled up beads and through the dangle beads, knot close to the beads making a tassel.
I have so many projects (tatting and otherwise) on the go at the moment, but hopefully should have completed some of them in a few weeks time.
Although I did not sell very much at the Christmas Fayre the baubles were quite popular and prior to the event I spent hours tatting around them, and have continued in the same vain! If I stop I know that I will never start again until the last minute before they are needed next year. Having a good display also means that there is plenty of choice. I have bought so many of these baubles that I must now stop and complete the ones I have, but the temptation this time of the year is too great, especially when I see them in the shops! Here are the ones I have been working on over the last week.
They are relatively quick to make and use up thread and beads that I have had for a long time.
I am also tempted when seeing buttons, these are my latest purchase from a charity shop.
The purple one is 1 1/4" across!
More shuttles are in the process of being made and I hope to show you some pictures next time, included in the next batch are some post ones.
Today there was a Christmas Fayre at the church and I took along my tatting to sell, I have actually been tatting so furiously in the last few weeks in order to have enough to sell. The larger items such as necklaces did not sell but the lower priced items sold quite well, they included earrings and Christmas baubles. These leaf earrings are using Jane's pattern which can be found here. Although I have to say not one of them sold!
I took along these earrings too. Barbara Hevener who I met in the USA designed the Christmas Wreaths I am very grateful to her for sharing the pattern it really is very clever and very effective and I was so pleased to meet her in person.
The little seahorses are again Jane's pattern and they look so cute but I did not sell any of these little chaps either! The earrings that sold the best were Marilee's Giddy earrings from her book 'Tatted Jewelery', which are such fun to make and yes I also met Marilee in the USA!. So all the items that I made for today and did not sell will be packed away for another year. I must just add that we live in a village, not a big town and so there were not that many people around for the few hours that the Fayre was open.
I just feel that I have now got my life back and can stop tatting for a few days in order to catch up with other things. People have no idea how time consuming tatting is and so are unprepared to pay for the time that is spent making the items.
The clocks go back this evening so I am looking forward to an extra hour in bed, but not much chance at the moment as I am tatting like mad to get items ready for a Christmas Fayre. The temperature outside is freezing and some parts of the UK are said to have been colder than Moscow this weekend brrrrrrrr.
So to get in the mood here are some snow flakes, the first one is Martha Ess's Circles and Squares, this is my favourite snowflake pattern and just for a change I have worked it in silver and white thread.
This one is my own design, but it looks like a lot of others so can't really claim the fame! However, I do think the bugle beads enhance the snowflake, sorry that it is a little bit off centre, always find it difficult to scan finished items.
Well back to tatting - more to show you soon!
Sometimes there is just too much colour around us, and occasionally it is good to look at something in black and white. How many of us remember when there was only black and white television?! There is a memorable British sports quote given by Ted Lowe during a snooker commentary. Ted was aware that at the time not all viewers had a colour television so he said "and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green."
So to start with here is Sherry Pence's Scottie Dog, which I promised to tat for someone months ago. I think one of these little chaps would look great on a greetings card. Thank you Sherry for kindly sharing the pattern.
And finally my son Dan who was taking a break from Aikido in Singapore. I was not able to get close enough for an action photograph!
Yes he is a black belt!
I am always looking for ways to use buttons and tatting together and decided it was best to put into action an idea that I have had for a long time now. This is the result.
Each of the brooches uses (apart from the tatting) two buttons a bead and a finding at the back. I hope you can see that there is a smaller button just beneath the bead. The only glue used is the finding on the back otherwise everything is sewn on.
The pattern I used is here Jane's Mother of Pear Tatted buttons, I just added a few extra beads at the tips. Fortunately I do have some large buttons but I have also been looking in charity shops for others as my own supply is quite limited. I also found that solid coloured thread works best, not variegated.
The brooches look very effective when worn and I hope to make a lot more before Christmas!
After a few aborted starts, mainly because I made some serious mistakes, I did manage to to complete the Daisy Necklace and now would like a little break from this pattern!
It was such a great day meeting the Guild Members and the fun did not end there. Afterwards we went to a really amazing restaurant called Flight Deck where there were pictures of aeroplanes plus model aeroplanes hanging from the ceiling. Here is a picture of Marie outside the restaurant showing us a new technique/idea with Riet.
A lot of laughs with so many good friends, it was hard to say goodbye.
And very sad when it was time for us to fly home.
Well not on an aeroplane like this!
I am like a child in a sweetie (candy) shop at the moment! Since coming home from tat days I have so much choice of threads, beads and findings that I just don't have enough hours in the day to put them to good use. Regularly now I pick out thread and beads to match ready for the next project, however before I get to it some other colourway has grabbed my attention!
For many years I have admired Jane's bracelet pattern and thought it would be too difficult to tat, but now I have mastered it I can't stop making bracelets. These two are promised to people already and I am going to make a few more for the Christmas Fayre. I also would like to carry on with the pattern and make a necklace.
The left one is made with Lizbeth thread and the right one is using HDT from Yarnplayer called warm dark brown, a lovely shade. Thank you Sue Anna for giving it to me along with so many other beautiful threads.
Thank you also to Sandra and Joanie who kindly took Jane and myself to craft supply shops whilst we were with them, there was so much choice and so many bargains!
When we were at Tat Days there was a 'Night Owl' class during which we made some owls by finger tatting with wool, it was great fun and required minimum skill. Also by then our eyes were quite tired so it was easy on them too! I made this one when I got home as all the owls that we made at tat days are going to a State Fair next month. Riet took the class and it was lovely to meet her at last and to discover that she is very fond of owls.
Today though we had a scarecrow festival outside one of the churches.
And a solar powered scarecrow that was given to me by Pam when in the USA. All the shops were sold out of these little chaps and I am so thrilled to have this one and love the way he jiggles! He also came up to the church with me, but I guarded him as it would have been such a shame if someone else had taken a fancy to him! | 2019-04-25T10:32:09 | http://tatsheaven-churchlog.blogspot.com/2012/ |

What I’m learning on our path to financial independence is that success toward a financial goal is all about choices. By choosing a frugal and intentional lifestyle, we are choosing financial independence.
We can make big choices, like to live in a modest home. To bike commute. To buy a used car instead of new. To live below our means. To collect memories instead of stuff. To have big goals for the future.
But the devil is also in the details. We make a million smaller choices every day, too. To pack a lunch instead of eat out. To go hiking instead of the mall. To set boundaries (and say no) to our kids. To be hopeful instead of pessimistic. To use limitless thinking instead of restrictive.
All the little choices – both in our actions and in our energy and attitude – add up. And yet, when we’re tired, overwhelmed, anxious, hungry, rushed, or bored, it’s much easier to make a choice that doesn’t serve us down the road.
So, how can we set ourselves up to succeed?
Automation, lifestyle design, and clear goals/intentions.
In some scenarios, it is helpful for me to reduce the number of choices I have – especially when life gets busy or stressful. I meal plan and shop once a month (or 2-3 times a month) to take out decisions (and life energy spent) on meals and grocery purchases.
We automatically divert money to our savings each month to eliminate the choice to spend it freely.
But it’s not all about reducing choices, it’s also about being more aware we make all of these little choices and being intentional about our choice (and the consequence).
Teaching kids their choices have consequences – and that many actions/reactions are indeed a choice – is a powerful parenting tool.
For our school age boy, we can help him observe and identify his own choices can bring awareness to the control he does have in his life.
A million dollars – or whatever your savings goal is — can seem far off. And while it doesn’t necessarily take a million little choices to get there, it does take setting goals, being intentional and consistent with our choices, and reflecting if our choices are conscious or not.
What do you think? Is this framework helpful in thinking about your goals or parenting? Join the discussion below.
I completely agree with the idea of removing choices. I often do this when I do a money freeze. I will actually hand off all of my cards to a friend so that I don’t have to make the decision over and over and over again. I have to tell you it is so freeing to not have a choice sometimes. To not have to use so much energy over and over again. It feels like a burden lifted.
Yes, so freeing. Choices take energy!
They also talk about people like Steve Jobs who used to always wear the same “uniform” so that he wouldn’t waste any “choices” on clothing on any given day.
I didn’t know that Deepak Chopra was yoga-inspired; I’ll have to check him out!
Thanks, Sam, that’s a great TED talk and resource! Reading Chopra for my upcoming yoga training. Not sure if he himself was a Yogi, but the book very much aligns with a yoga mindset! I also recommend The Four Agreements. | 2019-04-25T10:56:50 | https://raisingsavers.com/2018/06/05/a-million-little-choices/ |

Home is a safe place filled with love, family, laughter, and happiness. Many memories are made inside of homes. Home is where we sleep and where we wake up. Home is where fun is had. Home is where we grow up. home is a shelter from the stresses of life. A house is just a building. There are millions, almost billions of houses but not all of them are homes. Homes can come in lots of different shapes and sizes. A home can be a boat, a giant apartment complex, a campervan, or even just a normal house. A home is a safe, happy, place filled with friends, family, and love. | 2019-04-24T23:48:06 | https://meaningofhome.ca/entry/h0me/ |
How can I find files?
How can I find things in files?
Use grep to select lines from text files that match simple patterns.
Use find to find files whose names match simple patterns.
Use the output of one command as the command-line argument(s) to another command.
Explain what is meant by ‘text’ and ‘binary’ files, and why many common tools don’t handle the latter well.
In the same way that many of us now use “Google” as a verb meaning “to find”, Unix programmers often use the word “grep”. “grep” is a contraction of “global/regular expression/print”, a common sequence of operations in early Unix text editors. It is also the name of a very useful command-line program.
We haven’t linked to the original haikus because they don’t appear to be on Salon’s site any longer. As Jeff Rothenberg said, “Digital information lasts forever — or five years, whichever comes first.” Luckily, popular content often has backups.
Here, not is the pattern we’re searching for. The grep command searches through the file, looking for matches to the pattern specified. To use it type grep, then the pattern we’re searching for and finally the name of the file (or files) we’re searching in.
The output is the three lines in the file that contain the letters “not”.
By default, grep searches for a pattern in a case-sensitive way. In addition, the search pattern we have selected does not have to form a complete word, as we will see in the next example.
Let’s search for the pattern: “The”.
This time, two lines that include the letters “The” are outputted, one of which contained our search pattern within a larger word, “Thesis”.
To restrict matches to lines containing the word “The” on its own, we can give grep with the -w flag. This will limit matches to word boundaries.
Later in this lesson, we will also see how we can change the search behavior of grep with respect to its case sensitivity.
Note that a “word boundary” includes the start and end of a line, so not just letters surrounded by spaces. Sometimes we don’t want to search for a single word, but a phrase. This is also easy to do with grep by putting the phrase in quotes.
We’ve now seen that you don’t have to have quotes around single words, but it is useful to use quotes when searching for multiple words. It also helps to make it easier to distinguish between the search term or phrase and the file being searched. We will use quotes in the remaining examples.
Here, we can see that lines 5, 9, and 10 contain the letters “it”.
Now, we want to use the option -v to invert our search, i.e., we want to output the lines that do not contain the word “the”.
The correct answer is 3, because the -w flag looks only for whole-word matches. The other options will also match “of” when part of another word.
We use the -E flag and put the pattern in quotes to prevent the shell from trying to interpret it. (If the pattern contained a *, for example, the shell would try to expand it before running grep.) The ^ in the pattern anchors the match to the start of the line. The . matches a single character (just like ? in the shell), while the o matches an actual ‘o’.
Hint: use man grep to look for how to grep text recursively in a directory and man cut to select more than one field in a line.
$ bash count-species.sh bear .
You and your friend, having just finished reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, are in an argument. Of the four sisters in the book, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy, your friend thinks that Jo was the most mentioned. You, however, are certain it was Amy. Luckily, you have a file LittleWomen.txt containing the full text of the novel (data-shell/writing/data/LittleWomen.txt). Using a for loop, how would you tabulate the number of times each of the four sisters is mentioned?
Hint: one solution might employ the commands grep and wc and a |, while another might utilize grep options. There is often more than one way to solve a programming task, so a particular solution is usually chosen based on a combination of yielding the correct result, elegance, readability, and speed.
This solution is inferior because grep -c only reports the number of lines matched. The total number of matches reported by this method will be lower if there is more than one match per line.
While grep finds lines in files, the find command finds files themselves. Again, it has a lot of options; to show how the simplest ones work, we’ll use the directory tree shown below.
Nelle’s writing directory contains one file called haiku.txt and three subdirectories: thesis (which contains a sadly empty file, empty-draft.md); data (which contains three files LittleWomen.txt, one.txt and two.txt); and a tools directory that contains the programs format and stats, and a subdirectory called old, with a file oldtool.
For our first command, let’s run find . (remember to run this command from the data-shell/writing folder).
As always, the . on its own means the current working directory, which is where we want our search to start. find’s output is the names of every file and directory under the current working directory. This can seem useless at first but find has many options to filter the output and in this lesson we will discover some of them.
find did what we asked; we just asked for the wrong thing.
ls and find can be made to do similar things given the right options, but under normal circumstances, ls lists everything it can, while find searches for things with certain properties and shows them.
As we said earlier, the command line’s power lies in combining tools. We’ve seen how to do that with pipes; let’s look at another technique. As we just saw, find . -name '*.txt' gives us a list of all text files in or below the current directory. How can we combine that with wc -l to count the lines in all those files?
which is what we wanted. This expansion is exactly what the shell does when it expands wildcards like * and ?, but lets us use any command we want as our own “wildcard”.
The -v flag to grep inverts pattern matching, so that only lines which do not match the pattern are printed. Given that, which of the following commands will find all files in /data whose names end in s.txt (e.g., animals.txt or planets.txt), but do not contain the word net? Once you have thought about your answer, you can test the commands in the data-shell directory.
The correct answer is 1. Putting the match expression in quotes prevents the shell expanding it, so it gets passed to the find command.
Option 2 is incorrect because the shell expands *s.txt instead of passing the wildcard expression to find.
Option 3 is incorrect because it searches the contents of the files for lines which do not match “temp”, rather than searching the file names.
We have focused exclusively on finding patterns in text files. What if your data is stored as images, in databases, or in some other format?
A handful of tools extend grep to handle a few non text formats. But a more generalizable approach is to convert the data to text, or extract the text-like elements from the data. On the one hand, it makes simple things easy to do. On the other hand, complex things are usually impossible. For example, it’s easy enough to write a program that will extract X and Y dimensions from image files for grep to play with, but how would you write something to find values in a spreadsheet whose cells contained formulas?
A last option is to recognize that the shell and text processing have their limits, and to use another programming language. When the time comes to do this, don’t be too hard on the shell: many modern programming languages have borrowed a lot of ideas from it, and imitation is also the sincerest form of praise.
The find command can be given several other criteria known as “tests” to locate files with specific attributes, such as creation time, size, permissions, or ownership. Use man find to explore these, and then write a single command to find all files in or below the current directory that are owned by the user ahmed and were modified in the last 24 hours.
Hint 1: you will need to use three tests: -type, -mtime, and -user.
Hint 2: The value for -mtime will need to be negative—why?
find finds files with specific properties that match patterns.
grep selects lines in files that match patterns.
--help is a flag supported by many bash commands, and programs that can be run from within Bash, to display more information on how to use these commands or programs.
man command displays the manual page for a given command.
$(command) inserts a command’s output in place. | 2019-04-20T16:31:18 | http://swcarpentry.github.io/shell-novice/07-find/index.html |

This should be a simple Fix. I can use VR Teleportation BP perfectly well in the Unreal Engine; however, when I build the included Locomotion Map to Windows 64, I am unable to teleport and do not see the glowing target cylinder.
Key commands work fine on build so I know something is right. Also, I am NOT using the touch controllers, but rather a gamepad; however, this works fine in the UE4 editor.

We went to Eli's Neurology appointment today and had a good chat with the Dr. I think we will be switching over to her from her previous Dr. I like her better. We discussed all that has been happening with the boy and showed them the video and they came to the conclusion that he is having seizures.
We are now on the course to figure out what is causing them and getting treatment. We will be starting him on medication this week, and then we will have them do another MRI to make sure his brain developed properly. (Our insurance is going to love us.) We had multiple blood draws today, it made him sad. They ended up putting the needle in his hand since his veins kept rolling in his chubby arms. We will also have to take him to an ophthalmologist to get his eyes dilated to see if they can find any cause there. I am going to try to squeeze him in with Ruby on the 30th for her appointment. It was quite a long day at the hospital we were there for 4 hours.
I am feeling relieved that we are on the right path to getting things under control. So grateful for excellent medical professionals that are so attentive to his needs and our family. Kami was a saint and had our girls for over 5 hours today. She took such good care of them and even fed them dinner even though she wasn't planing on it. She is truly salt of the earth. Our family is so amazing, I can't say enough good about them.
We were able to cancel Eli's Gastro appointment, as that isn't the problem of causing his seizures and I had Jed call to cancel and they were going to charge us a fee for canceling without giving them 24 hour notice. Jed was firm with them and talked them out of charging us, I knew Jed was the man for the job. I would have been a push over.
Things are coming together. We have experienced so much kindness, I am overwhelmed by the love that has been expressed on our behalf.
He has been rolling over for a little over a week, and loves to laugh when tickled. He is still as content as ever and brings us so much happiness. We are so blessed he is ours. And I always have to laugh when the girls say "Can I hold The Bub?"
Had a good visit with Dr. R, as Eli has been having more episodes (not really sure what else to call them) I have noticed other things he has been doing which leads me to belive it isn't reflux related.
-We haven't seen any pattern, even when we keep him upright all day, it doesn't matter his position they still occur.
Dr. R agreed that it does sound like seizures, which can be caused by multiple things. He was able to get us an appointment with the Neurologist for this afternoon. He also recommended recording an episode as it can help with diagnosing him or being able to see exactly what he is doing. Gratefully we were able to record it on Friday while Jed's mom held him. It was so hard to just stand there and do nothing but I know it will help them get a better idea. It also made me realized that they are lasting longer than I thought.
He hasn't had an episode since Friday, I am happy about that but in the back of my mind I remember that he went 4 days with nothing and after that they started up again but with the convulsing.
Jed and I had the opportunity to attend the Temple on Saturday. It was so needed. The peace was so sweet and I felt assurance about the unsure things happening in our lives right now. I will try to update tonight and I will have a happy post up shortly. Even when it feels like so many things are going wrong, life has a way of bringing reminders of how sweet life truly is and that it is the small things that truly bring us joy.
Yesterday evening we took the kiddos on a walk and when we got home we were playing on the floor with Eli and all of a sudden he started having an episode but he was shaking and his limbs were jerking. Jed immediately took him from me and gave him a blessing, and instantaneously the convulsions stopped. It was so scary. I was bawling.
It has been so strange, after starting the meds he didn't have any problem for 4 days and then on Monday he had two and then they have been increasing more so yesterday and today, but when he started convulsing it put me over the top. I called his Ped this morning to see if they had the results from the EEG, they didn't so they said they would call me back.
The EEG came back normal so he doesn't have epilepsy. That is such great news! Dr. R thinks that it is connected to reflux. If you don't get enough oxygen your body can shake. He is trying to get us a more advanced appointment with a gastrointerologist as it usually is about a 2 month out wait. He recommended after eating keeping him upright for an hour so it has a chance to digest. I am so relived that it isn't seizures.
Yesterday was quite a day. Our house hasn't gotten the loving care it needs since we were so busy working on getting everything together for my mom's party so we spent most of the morning putting things back in order and then Ruby spent the afternoon playing with friends. I was down stairs when I heard someone come in the door, I called for Ruby and instead the response was "No, it's me." I hurried upstairs to see why Jed was home so early. Turns out that his companies owners have decided to turn the company over to a property management company. Jed's original boss passed away about a year ago and that has complicated things, but this is the last thing we expected.
I have felt numb at times but I feel like there is a new opportunity on the horizon and I know that something will work out. I am feeling very much at peace, and am so thankful for the wonderful support system we have. Life throws curve balls, but this is one I feel will work out to be a blessing.
The day that we scheduled Eli's EEG, I got a call from Dr. R with the recommendation that we put him on an acid reflux med to see if it would help reduced the amount of episodes he was having. I questioned him about it because Eli had been on Prevacid before and he was still having episodes and then once he was off the med they gradually went away. He said it was at least worth a try and that if it was working we would see a difference in 1 to 2 days. So we had the med called in, and gratefully it was only 1o dollars as compared to his 174 dollar Prevacid.
The first day that he took it was Wednesday morning and he still had episodes but they were fewer and further between. Since that day he hasn't had one! It is so confusing to me, because most babies I know with reflux are really fussy and don't want to eat much if they don't have meds to help the acid. Eli is so content, so my thoughts are Prevacid just didn't sit well with him, and if it is indeed reflux that is was causing him not to move and hardly breath and make a weird swallowing sound, that must be how he coped with it when the acid would burn him, like he was trying to swallow it back down.
He seems better to me and it has been so nice not having him turn a dusky color due to lack of oxygen, or being exhausted after the fact. These are just my observations since we don't have any actual results back, but I forgot to post about his meds. It has been an interesting turn of events and I would be more than happy to have this be the problem than the seizures that we were previously thinking it was.
Let me say trying to take a 4 month old boy that loves his sleep off that schedule makes for a horrible morning. I got up and fed him at 4 a.m. and then Jed went in to get him at 4:3o since we had to wake him up two hours earlier than normal. I got up with him at 6 so Jed could get some sleep, and then that is when the struggle began. He wanted to go to sleep so badly and so I spent that hour and a half dancing him around, talking to him, putting brightly colored toys in his face, and worst of all throwing him up in the air to wake him up. I can't think of anything he hates more. I wanted to cry.
He just wanted to eat and sleep but I knew if I fed him he would conk out so we held out for as long as possible. By 8 he seemed to be doing ok, and then as we went out the door he got into his car seat and was falling asleep, so we had to do the meanest thing ever. We had to take his clothes off and turn the A/C on. We felt so bad, submitting him to mild torture, but we knew that this small moment of discomfort would be better for him in the long run. What a relief it was to get to the hospital and be able to put his clothes on and get him ready for his test.
We were taken to a room where he got to have his head exfoliated and then have 23 electrodes with conductivity paste on them attached to different points all over his head. Then they wrapped his head in gauze to keep them in place. He didn't love it but was so happy when we finally to got to the point that we could feed him and swaddle him for the test. We sat in the dark with him for 25 minutes while they ran the test and then they came in and put a strobe light right over his face for 3 minutes to see the response to the light. After that we were done and we will have the results in a week.
I learned something from this experience. Sometimes when I go through a trial I think to myself, why do I have to go through this, it's painful and I am exhausted. Just like with Eli, I was right there with him wanting to do nothing more than end his discomfort and hold him close, knowing all the while that if I took that route he wouldn't get the help that he needed, and all of the sleep that he had already missed out on would be wasted. I think Heavenly Father is just like that. He is right there beside us wanting our discomfort to end but knowing that the outcome of our sorrows are far more valuable than if we had never gone through them. He love us enough to allow that. It was so hard to let Eli cry when he was so sad, but I did it because I knew it was the best thing for him. It was a very eye opening experience for me, it helped me realize how very much we are loved.
Lots of things happening around here. I should have posted weeks ago about this, but haven't. Eli's hands are improving and he no longer has to wear his thumb splints or hard casts at night. His PT Chris has been amazing, in helping us reach this point, and I am happy she is staying on with us throughout the year so that she can log his progress and make sure that we are seeing continuous improvement.
On the 24th of July, Erin, Meg and I were involved in potty talk. That weekend I decided we were done with diapers and that it was time for us to take the leap. Monday was horrible as expected, but after that, it got better and better each day and she stayed dry all day on Friday. She has been doing so well ever since. It was a breeze training her compared to Miss Ruby. And as a plus she has been staying dry at night. We are definitely happy.
One evening, Jed put Emma to bed only to hear her "screaming bloody murder" 10 minutes later. He went up to check on her, it turns out that she had taken her pajamas off and replaced them with her 0-9 month robe she wore as a baby and needed help tying it. She slept in it the whole night. The two things I find somewhat funny is that she stayed in it all night and plodded around in it all morning, not caring that it barely covered her keester.
Eli has started having episodes where he checks out for about 15-25 seconds. His eyes stay pretty much in the same place and he doesn't move and makes a very small swallowing sound and taking very small breaths which causes him to turn a dusky color. And then all of a sudden he takes a huge breath and seems to be fine. Except when he has multiple in a close proximity. We made attempts to call his neurologist, so we called Dr. R and he wanted us to bring him in. I didn't have a car yesterday morning so I called my sister on a whim positive that she had already left to go up to Sandy. (She told me the day before they were leaving at 7 a.m. ) How grateful I was that at 8:29 they hadn't left yet. They came and picked the kids and I up.
We saw Dr. R. He said he looks good other than this problem he is having. He thinks that he is having seizures. We have an EEG set up for him on Thursday so that they can monitor his brain waves and see what is happening. The challenge of this will be that we have to put him to bed one hour later and wake him up two hours earlier, so we will be getting him up at 4:40 in the morning and keeping him awake until 9:30. It will be quite a feat with the fact that he likes to sleep, his episodes make him tired and we have a 40 minute car ride. They said if he falls asleep they can't do the test so we will do everything we can to keep him awake.
I am hanging in there, and the real challenge for me is seeing my sweet little guy having to deal with this. He is so patient through it all. I know that Heavenly Father is aware of my son, and that whatever the purpose of this current trial, we can and have felt His love for us and are assured that we are never left alone. | 2019-04-21T06:38:07 | http://rubymama05.blogspot.com/2010/08/ |

The Maryland teenager who terrorized his high school used his father's handgun to shoot a girl he'd just broken up with and another classmate, investigators said Wednesday.
Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, was later killed when he traded shots with the school resource officer at Great Mills High School, they said.
"Rollins and the female victim had a prior relationship that recently ended," the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "The handgun utilized by Rollins in the shooting was legally owned by Rollins' father."
Rollins' alleged target, 16-year-old Jaelynn Willey, remains in critical condition at a local hospital. But a 14-year-old boy who happened to be in a hallway when Rollins opened fire was released after being treated for a gunshot wound to the leg.
It was not clear how the teenager, who lived in Lexington Park, Maryland, got hold of his father's weapon or what make or caliber it is.
The National Rifle Association has been quick to point to Gaskill as proof that armed guards and teachers are a better deterrent than gun control. But Gaskill faced a teenager armed with a handgun, not a rifle like the Parkland shooter.
Nevetheless, what Gaskill is reported to have done is extremely rare.
The Washington Post, which has done an analysis of dozens of school shootings, reported Wednesday that Gaskill would only be the second school resource officer to kill an active shooter since the 1999 Columbine High School massacre.
In the aftermath of the Parkland mass killing, President Donald Trump has called for arming teachers — an idea praised by the NRA and dismissed as a “colossally stupid idea” by many educators and school safety advocates.
Still, Florida Gov. Rick Scott last month inked a new law that defied the NRA by raising the age to buy all firearms to 21 and imposed other gun-buying restrictions — but also allowed trained school workers and teachers to arm themselves.
Meanwhile, Gaskill got a shout out Wednesday from Stephen Willeford, who was praised in November after he fatally shot the gunman who'd killed 26 people at a Texas church in Sutherland Springs.
In a telephone interview with NBC News, Willeford said he would “be honored to shake the hand" of Gaskill.
“He’s another good guy with a gun,” he said, repeating a phrase that is part of the NRA's mantra about armed citizens being the only thing "that can stop a bad guy with a gun."
Willeford is not likely to get any argument on the good guy part from Gaskill’s boss, Sheriff Tim Cameron, or Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. Both have praised the 34-year-old “tough guy” for putting his own life on the line Tuesday.
“While it’s still tragic, he may have saved other people’s lives,” Hogan said of Gaskill in the aftermath of Tuesday’s shooting.
Gaskill has yet to make a public statement.
Willeford's brush with fame came after he pursued Texas church shooter Devin Patrick Kelly and shot him dead. He used a rifle similar to the Ruger AR-556 that Kelley used to commit the massacre.
It was later revealed that Willeford was a longtime NRA gun instructor — so the powerful gun lobby, which has been fighting attempts to ban such weapons, was quick to dub him as their kind of hero.
They did the same for Gaskill on Tuesday.
Willeford, who recently was the guest of Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Tex., at the State of the Union address in January, has done only sporadic interview since the Nov. 5 tragedy that pulled him from obscurity.
His lawyer, Pamela Thompson of San Antonio, said that’s mostly been by design. | 2019-04-21T06:22:21 | https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/good-guy-gun-hails-another-stopping-maryland-school-shooter-n858766 |

By now, most people know all about the benefits to the environment when they recycle. However, there are ways to make this process more efficient at home and for the recycling facility. Some tips to help get recyclable items organized before sending them off to a Recycling Center in CT can be found here.
There’s no question that the recycling bin provided by a recycling service can fill up quickly. This means it’s important to save as much space as possible. One of the best ways to do this is by breaking down any cardboard boxes that go inside. Boxes that came in the mail and boxes that used to hold snacks or drinks, if flattened, won’t take up as much space.
There are still some people who don’t realize that plastic jars and bottles can be recycled. That means it’s not just cardboard that can head off to the Recycling Center in CT for recycling. Be sure to put all water bottles, salad dressing containers, and other plastic items in the recycling bin along with paper and cardboard.
Other products many people don’t realize can be recycled are most metal items. This list includes empty spray cans, empty fruit, soda, or vegetable cans, and even aluminum foil. Don’t throw these items in the trash when they can be sent off to the recycling plant to be made into new products.
If a person isn’t sure whether or not something can be recycled, they can call the local service provider. In some cases, they can even look on the company’s website to find out what can and can’t be recycled. There are some modern companies that even have an app that lets customers know exactly what they accept as well as what they don’t.
When it comes to recycling, there’s no question that it’s great for the planet. However, it’s important to ensure all recyclable items are being sent. For more information about recycling or how to utilize these services, contact the professionals at Calamari Recycling Co Inc or Visit Website to learn more. | 2019-04-25T22:34:53 | https://www.submitarticlestoday.net/tips-to-help-get-organized-when-sending-items-to-the-recycling-center-in-ct |
Duncan played a double header against Altus the night after they played Cache.
and Altus back to back, the boys lost both games without several players.
Eighth-grade player Jaxon Santos said the team members did the best they could with the players they had. He said the eighth-grade team needed to focus during the game and throughout the remainder of the season.
Thomas Brown, another player on the eighth-grade boys team, said the game would not have been as tough if it wasn’t for the lack of people there.
However, it wasn’t just the eighth-grade boys who took home the consecutive losses.
The seventh-grade boys were also defeated by Cache and Altus.
Zane Petty, a seventh-grade player, said that the seventh-grade needs to shoot better and watch the turnovers. | 2019-04-19T05:03:14 | https://demondirect.net/3037/sports/3037/ |
Republicans are running out of time. The U.S. Senate must act soon to repeal every word of Obamacare. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) told The Hill, “We could repeal all of Obamacare … I just don’t buy the fact that we can’t do that.” I agree.
The path to repeal is simple. In 2010, Democrats used their majority power to pass Obamacare. Now Republicans must use their majority power to repeal it. Republicans should not dither. If Obamacare is not ripped out by its roots, the future of health freedom is dim.
Republicans are in power today because they promised to repeal Obamacare, not replace it with a Republican version of the law. Repeal was the rallying cry. So now, with Republicans in full control, why not just repeal the law? Why are 13 Republican Senators discussing how to restructure Obamacare rather than repeal it?
Look no further than the issue of pre-existing conditions.
Liberals claim people with pre-existing conditions will be left to fend for themselves if Obamacare is repealed. They say 127 million individuals with pre-existing conditions will be at risk of life and limb. But states and charity programs took care of these individuals long before Obamacare. Most are already covered by employers and government programs. Just 226,615people enrolled in state high-risk pools before Obamacare, and only 115,000 joined the Obamacare Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Program.
This line of attack is strategic. “Guaranteed issue” of coverage regardless of health status is the heart and soul of Obamacare. It’s the core value of universal coverage, socialized medicine, national healthcare, single-payer or whatever you want to call the government takeover of health care. Guaranteed issue is not insurance. It’s government-mandated third-party payment of government-approved medical expenses.
To save Obamacare, liberals have falsely claimed the moral high ground. Ending guaranteed issue, they say, is tantamount to letting people die on the streets. Thus far, Republicans have failed to mount the necessary moral offense to counter this attack.
It may seem compassionate, but there is nothing moral about forcing Americans to pay higher premiums to cover the medical bills of the uninsured and uninsurable. There is nothing moral about making health insurance so expensive that the people buying it can’t afford to get sick. There is nothing moral about forcing people to pay more than their home mortgage for a product they may never use. There is nothing moral about destroying the world’s greatest health care system to chase a socialist dream.
Republicans must change the debate—or we can kiss health freedom, patient choice and medical excellence goodbye.
First, concentrate on care, not coverage. Patients are the only reason there’s a health care system. Focusing on coverage leads to only one place—national healthcare. And, increasingly, coverage does not guarantee access to care. People buy insurance so they can receive care without financial ruin. Republicans must work to reduce the cost of care, whether funded by cash, check, charge, coverage or charity. Republicans should open markets, rescind regulations, break up managed-care cartels, reward charity and restore the right to buy affordable major medical insurance.
Americans are smart. According to a Cato survey, 77 percent of Americans support guaranteed issue of coverage for people with pre-existing conditions—until they learn it could harm quality of care. Support then plummets to just 20 percent. Harm is already happening. Americans have higher costs, fewer choices and less access.
Republicans must declare this painful truth without reservation.
Second, Republicans should work to end the pre-existing condition problem altogether. Most individuals are tagged with a pre-existing condition after they lose employer-sponsored coverage or age out of a family policy. After repealing Obamacare, including its §1302(e) prohibition on catastrophic coverage, Congress could offer tax incentives to major medical indemnity insurers to help them reclaim market share from Obamacare-favored managed care corporations. Congress could also change tax law to encourage individual purchase of insurance, including pre-birth purchases by parents for each child. Insurance policies should be individualized, portable, affordable, lifelong, not attached to employment and personally owned.
Americans don’t need guaranteed issue, and they don’t want Obamacare. They need affordable insurance and access to affordable care. Repeal the law. | 2019-04-20T06:12:14 | https://www.cchfreedom.org/cchf.php/1305 |

Labyrinths of Memory (Matahat El-Zakirah) play will be performed several times over three days at Osiris art space, the same location that hosted the play in December 2015.
Directed by Nora Amin, the interactive performance transforms the entirety of Osiris’ space, its hallway, rooms and kitchen, to function as an unusual stage with separate performances on every part of it.
The different spaces offer distinctive stage sets that match certain memories that were drawn from participants in an acting workshop held earlier by Amin at Osiris.
“Shut in alone with each of the actors in turn, listening to him or her and engaging in an intimate exchange of memories, each member of the audience becomes actively involved in shaping the encounter,” theatre critic Nehad Seleiha wrote of the work in Al-Ahram Weekly.
Labyrinths of Memory stars Shehab Ibrahim, Mohamed Abo El Yazeed, Maha Omran, Ahmed Gamal, Nada Abdallah, Ahmed El-Sawy, Ahmed Abdallah, Mohamed Abaza, Karim Refaat and Hend El-Shimy. | 2019-04-25T16:35:59 | http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/5/35/191025/Arts--Culture/Stage--Street/Art-Alert-Interactive-play-Labyrinths-of-Memory-at.aspx |

Leonard Nimoy who played the character Mr. Spock on Star Trek has died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease today in Los Angeles. He was 83. Leonard Nimoy will be forever known as the iconic Star Trek character from Vulcan. He first played Mr. Spock in the 60's (1966 to 1969) on the original TV show. He would then reprise his role in the 70's and 80's in the Star Trek movies appearing in six movies with the original cast. He would also come back and pass the torch in the Star Trek reboot sharing scenes with the new Spock Zachary Quinto in 2009 and 2013. He also appeared in the TV show Fringe and that show would be one of his last TV works.
When you think of Star Trek you think of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. Those are the first things that come to mind and now the universe will be a poorer place now that Leonard Nimoy is no longer in it. Live Long and Prosper Leonard Nimoy on your new journey.

I was not going to do an update on Marvel vs. DC movies until later this year. There really wasn't much to say. DC won't be re-kicking off their franchise until next year but Marvel has made some changes to their line-up you might have heard.
Big Finish will be releasing a new UNIT Series starring Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart. This is pretty exciting as we all know Kate Stewart from NuWho and her recent appearance in Death in Heaven with Peter Capaldi. UNIT: Extinction will be the first of four box sets for this new UNIT series and will be out November 2015. The first box set sees Kate and her team fighting off a threat from the Nestene Conscious and their plastic henchmen The Autons in 4 hour long stories. No other cast members have been announced yet but with this release it is looking like Big Finish might be one step closer to getting the rights to do NuWho stories.
For the full announcement go to the Big Finish website at the link below.
Forget the movies. That particular battle between DC and Marvel doesn't really get interesting until next year. Right now the battle is on television and while they are not really going against each other head to head, it is still interesting to see how both sides are amping up their game with their current and future series. There is so much going on right now and I am not even dealing with the animated series.
