Even before the infamous Silk Road website was seized and dismantled by the government, the internet drug trade was an unsafe practice. For Australians it has, and always will be a way of life. The country’s isolation is a curse – goods of any kind are expensive to import and with government crackdowns, drug imports are especially difficult. Still, the rewards outweigh the risks, and sites like Agora are still seeing heavy traffic to push product.
After a seven-day study by News.com.au, a staggering amount of information has been uncovered about Australians current drug use. They discovered that metamphetamines and cocaine were the the most accessible drugs of the 9000+ listings on the site. In just a week, a site like Agora had $2.5 million in product, with an average listing price for almost $1200. Some dealers generated $800,000 monthly, from drugs that also included ecstasy, marijuana, heroin, but the top user earned $3.3 million.
Not only have police have been unable to find the parties involved, as the online marketplace uses Bitcoin and encrypted browsers, but it hasn’t made a substantial threat to scare users from using these sites either. As time goes on, Australia’s stake in online drug trading is growing exponentially, and putting more and more people as risk daily. | 2019-04-25T22:15:18 | https://www.youredm.com/2015/05/08/australians-still-playing-a-risky-game-with-online-drug-purchases/ |

Just a few of the waterfalls in the incredible gorge of Catlin Brook, SGL 57.
WARNING: The hike down into Catlin Brook Gorge (aka Catlin Hollow) is very steep and potentially treacherous. Do not attempt unless you are a fit and experienced hiker accustomed to such difficult terrain. You should be experienced with off trail hiking. Do not attempt a hike in the gorge during high water. Do not do this hike alone. Do not access the gorge from the bottom as it is private land.
Catlin Brook holds a unique position among Pennsylvania’s streams. It is the steepest gorge of a stream of its size in the state. At one point it drops 800 feet in a quarter mile. It is in a gorge of incredible rugged beauty with tiers of ledges, side stream springs that flow from the earth, and a towering rock overhang that has its own 70 foot falls in high water. And there are over ten waterfalls at least ten feet in height. Three of the tallest falls are close together and are over 100 feet tall in total. It is rarely explored. For this reason I call it the “Holy Grail of PA Waterfalls”. No other waterfall gorge in the state is as rugged, or as hard to reach. The route (with GPS coordinates) is described, to near the top of the gorge, in Hiking the Endless Mountains.
In reality, the gorge is close to Catlin Hollow Road, near Lovelton. However, private land blocks that access, so a long seven-eight mile hike, one way, is required to reach the gorge. If Catlin Brook is flowing well, the hike is more than worth it with plenty of great scenery along the way.
How do you know if Catlin Brook is flowing well? Just drive up Catlin Hollow Road to where it crosses the brook. If it is flowing, you are good to go. As a very rough correlation, the USGS gauge for the Loyalsock Creek in Montoursville should read at least 2.5 to 3.0 feet for good flow on Catlin Brook.
I’ve been to the gorge twice before. I hiked up the bottom part once, and descended the side of it in winter when it was ensconced in incredible ice flows. I had never seen the entire gorge.
With one of the wettest Summers on record, I knew it would be flowing. I recruited Ryan for this epic hike and we set out from the small parking area along Windy Valley Road at Stony Brook. We took the forest road, passed a cabin, and descended slightly to a stream that washed out the road with cobblestone. We hiked through the beech saplings and continued on the road to a gate. The road was washed out past the gate, so we hiked in the woods, parallel to Stony Brook. The old road returned and we continued hiking up it.
At an old metal culvert pipe on the left, we turned left and followed an old grade to Stony Brook. This grade has been washed out by the creek so we picked our way along faint trails until we reached where Red Brook and Stony Brook joined. Here we crossed Stony Brook into some hemlock saplings. We promptly turned right and made a challenging crossing of flood torn Red Brook and picked up another old grade. This old grade is wet in many places. It took us into a scenic Spruce Gorge and crossed the creek as the Crystal Cascade, a scenic, serene spot with large white boulders, pools, and cascades. We took a break among the spruce and smooth, white boulders. It felt like I was in New England.
The grade continued until we reached a creek that joined from the right. Here we turned right. There used to be an awesome mountain bike trail here, but it is largely gone now. Our route stayed above the creek with its cascades as we hiked under hemlocks and maples. We reached a grove of hemlocks and turned left, crossing the creek. We soon met an old grade and turned right. This old grade brought us to another grade and old ATV trail where we turned left.
This grade took us to Catlin Meadows, a beautiful high elevation bog with wildflowers and sublime scenery. As we took a break, an osprey circled the meadow looking for prey. It would flare its wings, pivot, and swivel to the ground for the kill. What an amazing sight.
The grade circled the meadow, but became overgrown near its outlet. We crossed the outlet and followed the old grade as it proceeded northeast. After a few hundred feet, we left the grade and went off trail to the left/northwest into a hemlock forest. We descended and went around the east end of another wetland meadow. Here we entered the Spooky Forest- a hemlock forest filled with trees that have bare, bleached branches. We then reached Catlin Brook at the edge of the plateau.
Now the fun began. We descended over ledges and mossy boulders with cascades. After a level area, the gorge began, and so did the waterfalls. One after the other, hidden in glens of cliffs. We would descend the edge of the gorge, drop below the cliff line, and then enter the gorge to see the falls. Because of this approach, we ended up descending the gorge along the creek itself. (I highly recommend that you do not follow this approach. Descend along the steep west side of the gorge, and then climb along the creek. It is possible to scramble up along the creek until the top part, where you will need to cut west and above the cliffline to see the other waterfalls. Take your time hiking up the creek and slopes of the gorge, the rocks do shift and move).
We reached a remarkable place with three waterfalls, each 30-40 feet in height, one after the other, in a stunning grotto. Below the third falls was a huge overhanging amphitheater of rock with countless springs, and a 70 foot falls in high water. The beauty was stunning. We were able to scramble down the third falls on the west side. Below were smaller waterfalls and many rocks and boulders, so it was easier to descend, although our legs were aching. This hike required such intense concentration and focus. The waterfalls soon returned, each about 10-12 feet tall. We encountered a 20 foot falls, which we descended on the west slope, and then some smaller falls that lead to a stunning 30-40 foot falls over deep red bedrock. It was breathtaking.
Below was a slide, grotto, and a 20 foot falls, but we did not hike to them. We had to make sure we had enough daylight for the long hike back. I had seen them before and they are beautiful. All of the falls are on the gamelands. Private land begins below the bottom falls.
The hike out of then glen was very arduous, but we made good time. We retraced our route, spooking a coyote along the way as it slipped silently and effortlessly through the forest. They are such incredible, elusive animals. It loved hiking through the deep forests in twilight, as dusk filled the gorges and valleys. We reached my car in the evening, exhausted and electrified by what we saw and what few others have seen.
Catlin Brook exemplifies the hidden beauty of Pennsylvania. In any other state, it would be a hiking and a world class ice climbing destination. Here, it is unknown. Such is the case with SGL 57, which easily has the beauty and diversity to be a national park.
The sanctuary of Catlin Brook Gorge requires a price to enter. With effort, sweat, and patience this experience can be yours as well. And it will be one that you will never forget. A piece of your memory will always reside in the depths of this incredible gorge.
This is an exceptionally beautiful and rugged hike. About 8 miles, one way, to the gorge. Plan for an all day hike.
There are no blazed trails, or signs, although most of the hike follows old logging roads or grades.
Do not attempt in high water or freezing conditions.
Do not trespass on private land at the bottom of the gorge.
Catlin Brook can be reduced to a trickle in Summer or dry periods. The brook flows most of the year.
The gorge is very challenging due to the very steep terrain and loose rocks.
Stinging nettle was not a big issue in the gorge. There were patches of it, but it did not inundate the gorge.
It is best to descend the west side of the gorge, and then scramble along the creek to see all the falls.
Do not hike the gorge alone.
Enjoy this stunning place and treat it with respect.
At the take out, Worlds End State Park.
My two year hiatus from whitewater kayaking recently came to an end, thanks to this wet summer. Rains brought up the Loyalsock Creek, one of the region’s finest whitewater creeks and I asked my friend Jay if he wanted to go. Jay in turn invited Alan and his brother Jeff. We met at Worlds End State Park, where we would take out. As we got our gear together, the park ranger drove by and asked if we knew what we were doing. The creek was running fast. Jay told the ranger we were fine. We then drove to the put in at Rock Run Road.
The creek was at 5.1 feet on the gauge, a rather high level. It was the highest I have ever paddled the Loyalsock. The rocks I typically see were covered in a deep, glassy current. The creek soon whisked us downstream as we passed a backpacker on the Loyalsock Trail. The Loyalsock features many rapids, mostly over cobblestone and boulders creating wave trains and some small holes. Peaceful pools separated the rapids, but the current kept us moving. Paddling through the powerful waves was a lot of fun.
The Loyalsock Creek is also known for its beauty, in fact it was once considered to be a national scenic river. The creek is almost completely undeveloped, with no signs of people. It feels like a true wilderness. It flows down a deepening canyon with ledges and side stream waterfalls.
The creek made a turn to the left into a particularly beautiful section. Cliffs towered overhead as we paddled over a deep pool with a beach. Ahead was a narrow gorge and the most difficult rapid of the day, called S Bend Rapid. We paddled to the shore, got out of our boats, and scouted the first part of the rapid which featured a slide into a series of towering waves. We all paddled this part fine and got out of our boats to scout the second part which was a more violent rapid that had a pinning rock on the left. The current blasted into a boulder, creating a huge, surging wave. We decided to portage this part. The beauty of the gorge at S Bend Rapid always impresses me.
The creek continued with its non-stop rapids as the trees towered overhead. We had to keep an eye out for holes that could flip us. As we entered Worlds End State Park, we waived to families and kids on the shore. The gradient picked up over smooth ledges and waves under the towering cliff and waterfall at High Rock. We took out in the park, ending our journey on the incredible Loyalsock Creek.
Worlds End and the Loyalsock are among my most favorite places.
The rapids on this section are fairly straightforward, just watch for trees and some small holes. The creek is generally graded as Class III rapids, although S Bend is Class III+. For levels above 6 feet, the creek becomes very fast and pushy, and you should be a very experienced kayaker. At such levels, the creek has Class IV rapids.
The line at S Bend Rapid is center right for the first part and enter an eddy on the right. The more challenging line is center or center left down a glassy tongue into a series of huge waves. For the second part, the line is again center right, but left of the large pour-over rock at the bottom.
To portage S Bend, go on river right for the first part, and either river left or right for the second, although river left is easier.
Hector Falls is one of the most unique waterfalls you will ever see. Here, a small stream tumbles over both sides of a rectangular rock outcrop, creating a visual spectacle when it is flowing. The falls are described in Hiking the Allegheny National Forest.
From FR 258, go around the gate and hike the forest road. The road is surrounded by mature forests, although an area has been logged off to the right. The forest road descends into a wooded valley. Avoid an obvious grade or old forest road to the right and descend to the left. Reach an opening with a small gas well. Here, the forest road ends.
Follow the obvious trail into a beautiful hemlock forest. You will soon reach the top of the falls at a cliff and giant boulders. The creek is small and often dry in summer. When the creek is flowing well, the waterfall forms a unique veil off of the ninety degree angled rock outcrop. The falls are about 22 feet tall and the base is located in a grotto of cliffs and large boulders. The setting is incredibly scenic.
Below the falls, the small stream almost takes a subterranean route in the sand and under the boulders. Take some time to explore to large outcrops below the falls. Return the way you came.
The hike is .9 mile one way, and there are no signs or blazes on the trail. Hopefully, the Allegheny National Forest will put in an official trail to this popular spot, and protect it for future generations.
Directions: From Ludlow at Route 6, take South Hillside Avenue (or Road). Turn left onto Water Street. Turn right onto Scenic Drive. Cross the railroad tracks and the road becomes gravel. You are now on FR 133. Follow for one mile. Turn right onto FR 258 and follow for 2.1 miles to a pull off and gate on the left. This is the start of the hike. The parking area is at approximately 41.695827, -78.980782.
Rimrock is the most popular overlook in the Allegheny National Forest. From the parking area, I hiked the trail down along large boulders to two vistas from the top of the cliffs. Mist shrouded the Allegheny Reservoir far below. I could see across the vast, forested expanse of the national forest.
A unique feature at the overlook is a staircase that goes down through a cave or chasm. It is very narrow, a slightly slanted, making it a little awkward. Due to the rain, drops fell from the cliffs and ledges.
I reached the bottom of the cliffs and explored them. There were huge overhangs and sheer rock walls. The massive rocks were separated by narrow cracks. In hot weather, these cracks blow out cold air. Moss and lichens adorned the rocks as the mist covered them in a glaze of moisture.
The Rimrock Trail, a fairly new trail, leaves the base of the cliffs and descends to the Kinzua Beach picnic area, it is a little over a mile long.
The vista is good for both sunrises and sunsets due to its southern exposure.
Rimrock also features a picnic area and restrooms. When exploring the Allegheny National Forest, be sure to visit Rimrock.
Dewdrop Run flowing under massive boulders, Allegheny National Forest.
Dewdrop Run is one of the Allegheny National Forest’s best kept secrets, hiding next to one of its most popular campgrounds- Dewdrop Campground. Years ago, the Campbell Mill Loop Interpretive Trail explored Dewdrop Run. For some reason, it was rarely hiked and eventually abandoned despite its superb scenery. I explored Dewdrop Run while writing Hiking the Allegheny National Forest and the place has always stuck with me. I decided it was time to return.
I parked along the road, just downhill from the entrance to the Dewdrop Campground. Faced with an overgrown meadow, I entered the beech woods and descended a slope to a more open forest. I crossed a sidestream and followed the old, intermittent white diamond blazes of the former Campbell Mill trail. I walked upstream and made my way down to Dewdrop Run. There was no real sign of the old trail. I came across a maze of giant, mossy boulders embedded in the water, creating scenic waterfalls and a small, green grotto. Pools glistened in the fading sunlight as insects danced on the surface. In places it felt as if I were in Oregon or Washington with the unbelievable greenery.
I then reached an amazing spot-where the creek flowed under massive, house sized boulders cloaked in deep green moss. Absolutely beautiful. I tried to follow the old trail, as it explored more mossy boulders. It turned right, passing between the green monoliths, and then began to climb. I, however, went off the former trail and simply hiked upstream to a beautiful series of cascades and deep pools framed by mossy, sculpted boulders.
I pushed onward, up into the gorge. Steep slopes and giant boulders loomed over Dewdrop Run. It felt like a hidden, primeval world even though I was less than a half mile from the road. The creek bounced over scenic cascades and small waterfall within a deep, lime green forest.
I turned around and walked back down the creek, enjoying the scenery again. I retraced my steps back to my car. Park off the road at about 41.826653, -78.968353.
For adventurous hikers, the north slope of Dewdrop Run’s gorge features massive boulders and rock outcrops that are worth exploring. Hopefully, a hiking trail will return to Dewdrop Run, it is such a beautiful place. Until then, don’t let the lack of an official trail deter you, explore this hidden gem.
View of the Allegheny Reservoir from Jakes Rocks.
Jakes Rocks is one of my favorite places in the national forest. It features impressive cliffs, overhangs, crevices, and vistas. It is also home to a premier mountain bike trail system, called the Trails at Jakes Rocks.
While Rimrock Overlook is more popular, I actually think Jakes Rocks are more beautiful. The views are more interesting and the cliffs are larger.
From the parking area, take the paved trail to the right of the restrooms. This paved trail continues straight to a vista which provides a view to the backside of the Kinzua Dam. Right before the vista, look for an obvious, unblazed dirt trail to the right; this is the Indian Cave Trail and descends to the bottom of the cliffs. This trail does not have a sign. Be sure to hike this trail when visiting Jakes Rocks.
The Indian Cave Trail descends over stone steps and explores the base of the massive cliffs, colored with springs and moss. The cliffs are truly impressive as they rise through the trees. Reach a massive overhang with a huge boulder. This overhang is interesting to explore. The trail continues along the base of the cliffs and reaches a deep crevasse through which I hiked with dripping moss.
From the crevasse, the path is much narrower. It winds its way along the base of the cliffs and climbs to the second vista. It is narrow and steep. I did not hike this trail; I turned around at the crevasse and retraced my steps to the paved trail.
The paved trail at the top of the cliffs explored large boulders and some unofficial side trails that went to the edge of the cliffs. I soon reached the second and more impressive vista as it looked down on the Allegheny Reservoir with all its bays and coves. The reservoir curved off into the distance. A remarkable view and probably the finest in the national forest.
The paved trail looped around and returned me to the parking area. Jakes Rocks is a beautiful place that is a highlight of the Allegheny National Forest.
Jakes Rocks is described in Hiking the Allegheny National Forest.
Sunset over the Allegheny Reservoir from Willow Bay.
The Allegheny Reservoir is the centerpiece of the Allegheny National Forest (ANF) and is one of the most scenic lakes in the country. The reservoir is 24 miles long, covers over 12,000 acres, has almost 100 miles of forested, undeveloped shoreline, numerous bays, and mountains that rise 800 feet over the water. Large boulders dot the shore. The reservoir also has several campgrounds. The water is very clean and clear.
The reservoir was created in 1965 with the completion of the massive Kinzua Dam, one of the largest in the east. Any visit must include the dam.
After hiking the Marilla Trails, I needed a place to stay for the night and luckily Willow Bay Campground had a few sites open. I was treated to an incredible sunset across the reservoir as the dark mountains rose over the water.
There is so much to see and do in and around the reservoir, whether it be hiking and mountain bike trails, scenic overlooks, camping, waterfalls, kayaking, boating or fishing. This is truly the perfect getaway.
The North Country Trail passes along the eastern shore of the lake offering great camping, streams, and deep woods, not to mention views over the water. The Morrison Trail is an excellent loop with cascades, great camping, streams, and giant boulders. The Tracy Ridge Trail system offers the most views along the shore, passing two campgrounds that can only be reached by hiking or boating. There is also a trail from Kinzua Beach to Rimrock Overlook.
The Bent Run waterfalls near Kinzua Dam are beautiful as the water tumbles over giant moss covered boulders.
Do not miss Rimrock and Jakes Rocks overlooks. Both feature giant cliffs, overhangs, picnic tables, and great views over the reservoir.
There is a new, world class mountain biking trail system at Jakes Rocks that cannot be missed. It features giant boulders, streams, and has trails that are easy to difficult. The trail system is being extended and has attracted riders from all over.
The reservoir features four developed campground with restrooms and showers: Willow Bay, Dewdrop, Kiasutha, and Red Bridge. They tend to be very popular. Willow Bay has the best sunsets, while Dewdrop and Kiasutha are good for sunrises. If you like to hike, Dewdrop and Willow Bay are closest to trails. Dewdrop is closest to the mountain bike trails at Jakes Rocks.
There is one more primitive, and quiet, campground, Tracy Ridge. It has water and pit toilets. The sites are wooded. It is on the mountain away from the reservoir, but it is close to several hiking trails.
The reservoir is unique in having five primitive campsites that can only be reached by hiking or boating: Hopewell, Handsome Lake, Pine Grove, Hooks Brook, and Morrison. They tend to be small, with anywhere from 13 to 38 sites. Only three can be reached by hiking trails: Hopewell, Handsome Lake, and Morrison. They are known for their beauty. All have water.
The scenery and undeveloped shoreline makes the reservoir an ideal kayaking destination. There are many bays and large boulders to explore. The reservoir is also perfect for an overnight trip, where kayakers can stay at one of the boat-in campgrounds. | 2019-04-21T16:17:58 | https://endlessmountains.wordpress.com/2018/08/ |
The Tricycle goes from strength to strength. It really is becoming a powerhouse in North West London, especially for the Irish and Black communities. Like any theatre, it has its misses, but the hits, almost always revivals, when they come are of an incredibly high standard.
Blues For Mr. Charlie is a heart-rending tale that deserves a transfer at the end of what will be a successful run. This Talawa Theatre co-production with the New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich may struggle to achieve wider acclaim but only because it has a 21-strong cast .
James Baldwin wrote this play in 1964 but, with its story of racial and racist oppression in the Deep South of the USA, it feels as if it ought to have been centuries ago. In fact, if one looks for a close parallel, it would be in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, another play set in the American Deep South that centres on the farcical trial of a dirt-poor white man accused and acquitted of killing one of his black brethren.
The term "social justice" is literally not understood by one of the characters and the hatred that rages between Black and White (or should that be redneck?) communities in the symbolically named Plaguetown borders on madness.
Richard Henry (Michael Price) is the son of a preacher, played by Ray Shell. He escaped town at 16 to become a singer in New York but after a dozen or so years, the high-life became too much and he was busted out of town.
On his return, he brings with him uppity Northern attitudes and the belief that society should change. He entrances Sharon Duncan Brewster's beautiful Juanita, a woman who has done this in her turn to almost every man in the community, both Black and White.
The divide between the communities is almost absolute. Only a brave man like Rolf Saxon's newspaper editor Parnell dares have a foot in both camps.
Richard has also offended every White hick in town, as much as anything by his existence. In particular, Lyle Britten, played by Barnaby Kay, feels threatened. He is newly-married with a young baby but has a secret love of black women and a big chip on his shoulder. When his pride collides with that of Richard, sparks and eventually bullets fly.
Paulette Randall, the artistic director of Talawa, is at her very best in this production, greatly assisted by Libby Watson's infinitely adaptable clapboard set and a super cast.
There are scenes amongst angry Blacks, jokey Whites, a set piece in court and dreamlike flashbacks, and almost all work. Together they bring out the fears on both sides and, importantly, the parallels between Lyle and Richard. Their main problem is that they are too much alike.
Blues For Mr Charlie may last for around three hours but the tension never drops. It would make a tremendous contribution to any debate on racism and its most terrifying facet is that it is set merely a generation ago.
We must be grateful that however bad things may get today, the institutionalised racism and hatred that appears on this stage as a societal norm is now regarded by all as deeply shocking. | 2019-04-20T19:06:33 | https://www.britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/bluescharlie-rev.htm |

The foot pocket is incredibly comfortable thanks to the design developed in collaboration with a leading Italian clinic.
Its shapes and the extra thickness on the instep and the tensions under the arch have been meticulously researched to convey the maximum amount of energy produced to the blade, yet still provide complete comfort.
The variable-thickness blade bends during the various phases of fining action, achieving an ideal flexing curve, thanks in part to the use of the best techno polymers, the true core of agility and elasticity. The special design of the channels on the blade and the lateral stringers on the foot pocket make it possible to channel and increase the flow of water toward the pronounced “V” at the tip, increasing thrust and preventing the fin from slipping laterally. Its light weight and power give the Razor Pro the best yield among all the techno polymer fins currently available on the market.

Recently, Chinese manufacturer, Xiaomi, released the Xiaomi Mi Box S and this device is appealing in many ways. First, it’s the second streaming box partnership between Google and Xiaomi in history. Second, at only $68.89, it is the cheapest TV box with access to Android TV. In this post, we take a look at Mi Box S’s highlights as well as a few drawbacks of the model and compare it to the current competition.
Here’s what the Mi Box S has to offer.
The clean minimalistic design has always been the strong point of Xiaomi products — and this is the case with the Mi Box S. The TV box is compact, simple and classic measuring just 3.5 x 3.5 inches. The box comes with rounded edges, a Xiaomi logo on the top and an HDMI port, a USB port, a 3.5mm audio port and a power port at the back.
The Mi Box S comes with a built-in Android TV 8.1 right into it. This means you are getting a clean and easily navigatable OS with extensive customization features. But that’s not the best part. The best part is that you are also getting access to over 3,000 apps and channels including the indispensable Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, Spotify, Crackle, HBO Go, HBO Now, Sling and plenty more.
In addition to a wide range of apps available on Android TV, you get a nice selection of services as well — including Google Assistant, one of the most popular digital assistants out there. It is definitely a nice control option to add to your TV — thanks to the HDMI CEC setup, you will be able to use Google Assistant take control over your whole home theatre experience.
You won’t have to jump through too many hoops to set up the TV box — as you might expect with a Google interface. You will simply need to hook up the TV box to your TV via the HDMI cable, turn on both devices and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be instantly prompted to log into your Google Account — and if you have other Android devices connected to this same account, Google will recommend apps based on the ones you already have installed. This pretty much automizes the whole personalization process even further and saves you plenty of time.
For a $89.99 TV box, it is quite impressive that the Mi Box S supports 4K and HDR playback —so you will be able to enjoy your videos in high resolution. However, note that the TV box is set at 720p playback by default and you will need to go into Settings and change that manually to get the most out of the experience.
While most things about Mi Box S look quite good, it’s by no means perfect.
First, while most similar device (like, for instance, the Nvidia Shield TV) do have enough processing power to enable gaming, the Mi Box S is a streaming device — and that’s pretty much it: more power demanding tasks will make the box struggle. Second, the remote control the Mi Box S comes with is pretty rudimentary, which is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for the price. With that, there is a minimal button layout and you will only be able to control the box itself — not the TV. Some users have also reported that the TV box’s volume could be louder — and while this is easily manageable through TV volume controls, we have to admit that this can get annoying.
The Mi Box S is currently the cheapest way to experience Android TV in all its glory. With access to 3,000 apps, you get a complete entertainment package. Plus, the TV box is an overall well put together device and, aside from a few inconveniences, offers a very fulfilling streaming experience. If price is not a factor, you can consider the Nvidia Shield TV, which comes with all the benefits and none of the drawbacks of the Mi Box S. But, for a budget streaming box coming with Android TV, the Mi Box S is hard to beat. | 2019-04-19T03:07:50 | https://www.xiaomitoday.com/xiaomi-mi-box-s-with-android-8-1-4k-hdr-support-now-available-for-only-89-99-great-value-for-money/ |

The tavern door opened, then smacked against the wall so hard the timbers shivered and creaked. The startled inhabitants could only gap as the storm rushed in chilling their already wet bodies. Sleet and icy rain swirled through doorway and spat upon the patrons relegated to the dirt floor near it. Some grumbled and scuttled away from the muddy puddles as ice and rain pelted the interior. The barkeep rushed to close the door only to shriek when a dark shadow detached itself from the storm, moving into the common room.
The shaggy apparition moved the frightened man aside by stepping into his space. The door swung back and closed with another bang. The bar dropped across it, leaving the bitter weather to slap and push from the outside. A rough cloak dropped from a set of massive shoulders. The collective sighed with relief at the tall male figure. Oh, well not a demon, just another mercenary.
Raven hung his dripping cloak on the hook near the door and rung the water from the dark braid draped around his neck. He already knew how many men sat at the greasy tables and that any women here had long since gone to bed in the cramped musty upper rooms. He turned on the still stupefied bartender.
Raven crossed the dark room, removing the sword hanging from his back to a table nearest the soot darkened back wall. He pulled the table away and settled in the rickety chair that groaned under his weight. He ignored the bleary eyes peering at him and the stench of wet unwashed bodies. He took a leather pouch from the thick belt he wore and placed it on the table along with his damp travel bag. The barkeep rushed to the table holding a battered kettle, the handle wrapped by the bottom of his dirty apron.
“A tankard and the kettle before the water’s cold.” Raven growled at the seemingly witless man.
“Oh, yes, a tankard. Yes...yes sir...I yes.” He scurried away again the kettle swinging wildly, causing swearing occupants of the floor and tables to duck and move from his path. Raven glared. The man finally stumbled back, dropping the tankard so it rolled across the table. The warrior’s hand closed around it. The kettle banged against the side of the table, splashing water on the hapless bartender. He managed to put the kettle down and back away. One more glance from the warrior at the table sent him back to his duties on trembling legs.
Raven poured a portion of dried herbs into the tankard and filled it with water. He warmed his cold hands in the steam from the cup. After a few minutes he raised it to his lips. The first sip nearly forced a groan from the exhausted man. He had to really control the urge to gulp the bitter liquid down and scald his throat. The heat settled in his belly, warming him completely after a while. He finally relaxed against the wall and let his eyes travel openly around the room. Most of the inhabitants avoided his gaze.
There were just as many brigands as honest travelers in the room. His size and the gleaming steel of his sword should prevent any one from getting ideas about lifting his purse. He chuckled out loud at the thought because his purse was painfully thin right now. He was hoarding what remained in anticipation of a new job, hence the smelly hovel having to do for for this moment. He rested his head on the wall to doze, at least content the tavern was shielded by a hill that blocked the winds from blowing through the ill fitted logs at his back. He did not move as the people in the room finally settled once more before the meager fire.
The strong slept near the flames, the not so bold lay shivering in the cold and enduring the draft whistling through the ramshackle walls and around the ill fitted door. After a while, Raven pulled a woolen blanket from his pack and wrapped it around himself. He allowed himself to relax, just a little, in the heavy folds and went to sleep.
Silence awakened him. The storm was over for now. He folded the blanket tightly and stuffed it into his pack. He knew the sun had risen, although he expected the day would be sullen with clouds, fog and more rain. The slide of metal on leather stirred some of the other wayfarers. Grabbing his still damp cloak, Raven stepped across bodies on the floor and lifted the bar from the door. He slipped into the chilly morning, crossing quickly to the shed to fetch his horses. The animals were nosing around in ice-rimmed hay. He slipped a bag of oats over their noses and rubbed them down before tossing blanket and saddle on his mount. Very soon, the animal would refuse the grains and need to hunt or Raven would have to buy fresh meat. He reloaded all his gear on the shaggy packhorse and stepped into the saddle.
Chi walked carefully, wary of the cracking ice and mud sliding beneath his hooves. Raven looked around at the dull winter landscape and figured he had at least a six-hour ride to the next tavern along the twisting, treacherous track passing for a road. He hoped to make it before the weather soured again. Another night in a filthy roadside tavern would not improve his mood. Sighing heavily he guided his animals off into the tall pines, growling as wind blown water cascaded down from the trees. The rumble of distant thunder herald another round of storms.
The mercenary had heard a local lord, new to his position, was hiring men-at-arms to shore up his troops. Fighters from all over the Midlands were finding their way to these sparsely populated mountains. NorBlad raiders would be scouring the land very soon. It was said the old master of the lands paid tribute to the northern fighters but the peasants and lesser nobles still lost too much to the raiders. There should be fighting aplenty and gold for his war bag.
From time to time he dozed in the saddle aware that Chi would let him know if trouble approached.
Like him, the animal stood out in this land of dark pine forest and snow. Iron gray with black stockings, mane and tail, his muzzle and face were black as well. Chi hailed from the far western plains. The animal enabled the mercenary to charge twice the fees offered for only his sword. More than once Raven had literally been plucked from death’s jaws by his oft times vicious guardian. Chi was heavily boned and muscled with deceptively gentle dark eyes. His teeth were dagger long and sharp edged, dealing deep and grievous wounds. Tales were told that they were not true horses, but demon spawn erupting on the western plains during a fight between the gods. Raven always wondered if there was more truth than not to the tale. The demons chose their riders and seemed to anticipate their needs. They also had a sack of gall in their throats, which injected into a bite caused a lingering agonizing death. No one else rode him, no one dared. Savage, the animals were known to kill other four legs for food including their own kind.
Torches were just being lit within the timber walled city of Virgilia when Raven finally reached the gate days later. The guardsmen paid little attention to Chi. In the dark he appeared just like any other horse and Raven was grateful. He had no wish to spend the evening in the cold arguing with superstitious men. Once inside he realized the city was teeming with people.
Observation determined many of the farmers from the countryside had moved into the city. Resigned to a longer wait for bed and a meal, Raven traveled through the town until arriving on the paths just below the high road to the lord’s residence. Taverns, choked with smoke and rank odors, rang with off key music and fighting. The upper paths hosted the higher priced inns for the more sedate clientele. There would be people from the richer farms, merchants and nobles. Raven listened to the chatter from the throng pushing and shoving along the narrow torch lit way. Though disconcerted at finding a horse barring their way, most of the people were too inebriated to do more than stumble from his path. Hawkers stood in front of the doors, shouting about the best wines, feather mattresses and of course who had the fattest and cleanest bed warmers. He pondered over the gold left in his purse and finally decided to move a little closer to his goal. The best place would have a large barn where Chi could rest away from the majority of animals. Oddly, though he was a stallion, the animal did not insight other horses to fight, but they were very nervous around him.
He came to a place with a gate and a wall nearly his height surrounding it. Lamps and a bell hung from the posts. Further along the wall he could see an even wider gate, probably for carriages and wagons to come and go. Faint music could be heard over the rabble in the road. Decision made, he rang the bell.
After a time, a small head popped up under the bell.
“Tha li ya havin’ na coin!” The guardian of the gate assessed Raven with an exaggerated leer only to have a hand surround his head and lift him from his perch.
“Open the damn gate, or I will open it with your head.” Raven growled, squeezing the bug-eyed boy’s skull. Torchlight reflected in the catlike eyes of the monster crushing his head. Frightened spitless, the youngster scrabbled at the wooden bar, arms and legs flailing wildly. He managed to lift it just enough that Raven dropped him and grabbed the heavy log. It was little effort to toss the bar over the head of the boy. He flinched as it hit the ground, one end narrowly missing his head. Chi pushed through the gate and the boy scrambled from his path.
The gulp was audible as the boy scrambled to his feet and hurried to get the bar back up on the gate. He would endure the dampness of his ragged britches for the remainder of his shift, but have two fights later on unable to endure the taunting about his smelly condition.
Raven rode across the yard and stepped down before the main doors of a very large inn. To one side he could see a taproom filled with revelers. Well to do nobles and merchants communed together. Tomorrow in his lordships residence they would pretend ignorance of each other. He stepped through double doors. The main lobby was well lit and he was not surprised to see a very fat tavern keeper leaning against a podium. This one obviously trusted no one to collect his coin. How else could he maintain the mountain of flesh that covered his slim bones? Raven stepped up to the counter. Before the man could launch into his tirade the mercenary dropped a very small bag on the ledger book.
Insulted, the man just prevented himself from calling for his bouncers. He untied the drawstring and poured two gold coins into this palm. Instantly his expression changed, to suspicion.
Raven scowled at the innkeeper. The man visibly shrank under the pale silver gaze of the mercenary.
The coins disappeared into the chubby hands, then the man sank his teeth into the coin. On further inspection a smile creased his face until his eyes disappeared. His bite left marks in the soft metal. | 2019-04-22T02:26:40 | https://mythicallegends.space/do-not-wake-the-beast |

WNBA stars seem to be bowing out of the season everywhere, which surely will kick-up debates about year-round play and wear on their bodies, again. Indiana PG Briann January joined three-time MVP Lauren Jackson and Los Angeles star Candace Parker as the latest to suffer a serious injury.
January, who shinned at Lewis and Clark High, underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee. She suffered the season-ending injury in the fourth quarter of the Fever’s win against Phoenix on Tuesday.
Surgery to repair her knee will be performed in 4 to 6 weeks by Dr. Stephen Kollias, team orthopedist with St. Vincent Sports Performance.
Parker is in the midst of rehabilitating her right knee surgery. She’ll miss about six weeks, missing all but 10 games in 2010 due to shoulder surgery.
Meanwhile Jackson is preparing for an approximate three-hour surgery on Thursday to repair her torn labrum. A source said it’s off the bone and torn in half. She’ll require 8-12 weeks of rehabilitation, beginning with four weeks on crutches.
Jackson plans to rehabilitate in Seattle. Dr. Marc Philippon of Vail, Co. will handle the operation, known as the best orthopedic hip surgeon in America.
Storm coach Brian Agler announced earlier this week that he signed Polish C Ewelina Kobryn, but she needed to obtain a visa and pass necessary physicals. Kobryn would replace rookie Ify Ibekwe on the roster, who was cut Sunday.
But on Wednesday, Agler was noncommittal about Kobryn joining the team for its Eastern Conference swing. The Storm does not qualify for the WNBA’s medical exemption.
The Storm (4-2) begins a three-game road trip against Connecticut (5-3) on Friday. | 2019-04-18T18:42:52 | http://blogs.seattletimes.com/womenshoops/2011/06/29/spokanes_briann_january_out_wi/ |
Diamond, a 60-year resident of Coral Gables, simply believed in teaching.
“Other grandparents took their children to movies and carnivals. Billie took her grandchildren to the Everglades to see a comet at 3 a.m., to museums and libraries — ever the teacher,” her daughter said.
The New York-born Diamond, a board member of the Dranoff International 2 Piano Foundation, always called her own tune.
At her service, Diamond’s sister Joan Brenner spoke of an amusing World War II performance in which the former Beula Greenberg changed her named to Billie Vermont (a loose translation of Greenberg from the French word Vermont for green mountains.) Billie entertained service men with her signature song, A Bird in a Gilded Cage.
“She wore a big feathered hat and a long gown with a huge bustle in the back. She would walk across the stage as she sang and the bustle, of course, followed. But occasionally — intentionally — she walked one way and the bustle crawled the other way. The soldiers howled. Guess who was inside the bustle?
Many got to know Diamond. She, along with her husband, the late Jack Diamond, was among the 12 co-founders of Temple Beth Am in Kendall in 1955. “The house Billie and Jack built,” the rabbi said at her service. She loved playing piano so she served the Dranoff Foundation for more than 20 years. She was also a child advocate and volunteer with Guardian Ad Litem.
In 2000, Voices for Children honored Diamond as Guardian Ad Litem’s recipient of the Lorraine Munroe Outstanding Volunteer Award. “Known for her ‘never say no’ attitude and cheerful personality, Diamond has worked with the guardian program since 1986 and has overseen 32 children in 15 different cases,” the Miami Herald reported.
“When she was into something her passion was unbounding and limitless,” her daughter said.
In addition to her daughter and sister, Diamond is survived by her children Barry and Dan Diamond, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Services were held. Donations in Diamond’s name can be made to the Dranoff International 2 Piano Foundation or Guardian Ad Litem. | 2019-04-26T11:48:36 | https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/obituaries/article31438118.html |
Incorporate fun activities into your child's daily routine to teach important lessons on organization.
Keep a family calendar. Track everyone's activities on a prominent and accessible calendar, encouraging your child to write her own entries and reference the calendar when making plans. You also might consider checking schedules and updating the calendar as a family over Sunday breakfast.
Introduce checklists. Whether it's as simple as "3 Things To Do Before Bed" or "What To Take On Vacation," creating and referring to lists together will develop your child's ability to strategize tasks and organize his time.
Assign chores that involve sorting or categorizing. Grocery shopping, emptying the dishwasher, sorting photos, cleaning out a closet, and other chores that involve pre-planning, making lists, or arranging things are great choices.
Get ready the night before. This one's always tough — for both of you — but it does work if you can get in the habit.
Use containers and closet organizers. If there's a place for everything, she'll find it easier to find items, keep neat, and clean up. Build "pick up" time into the daily routine.
Buy your child a planner. Ask him to help you pick it out or choose one that will appeal to him so he'll be excited about using it. Having his own planner will show him you consider his time valuable and encourage him to create a schedule. Be sure to routinely coordinate the information with your family calendar to avoid conflicts.
Organize schoolwork. Make sure your child's keeping notes, homework, handouts, and graded assignments in separate folders in a binder. Try to check her backpack nightly and set a time aside each week to go through her binder and get things sorted.
Create a homework supply box. Fill a box with school supplies and encourage your child to store pens, paper, measurement tools, and a calculator in it so he'll have what he needs on hand.
Cook together. Cooking teaches measuring, following directions, sorting ingredients, and managing time — all key elements in organization. Involve your child in meal planning too, challenging her to help you put together a shopping list.
Cultivate an interest in collecting. If your child has a particular interest, encourage him to create and organize the collection. It can even be something free — such as rocks or canceled stamps — that he can sort, classify, and arrange.
Reward and provide support with organizational tasks. Your child may find organizing a challenge, so help her develop her routine and give her a treat for jobs well done! | 2019-04-23T22:26:03 | https://www.scholastic.com/parents/family-life/social-emotional-learning/social-skills-for-kids/12-ways-to-develop-your-childs-organizational-skills.html |
Are you planning to have a bathroom remodeling project? When it comes to the perfect bathroom design, you need to do careful planning and get some sources of inspiration for the best bathroom remodeling ideas. You need to have a planning guide that will walk you every step of the way. It is essential to get new ideas, add storage in a small bathroom, revise layout, or replace your bathroom fixtures. There are affordable or budget-friendly bathroom remodeling ideas to help you update your old bathroom.
You can save as much as $200 to $500 on each fixture if you maintain the original piping location of your new sink, toilet, or tub because you don’t have to pay again just to run supply lines and drainpipes. In order to add efficiency and luxury your master bath, the features you may consider include dual sinks, separate walk-in shower, and a toilet room. Dual sinks are good for couples so you can work and play at the same time. It is more practical to have a tub-shower combo if you have a limited space in your bathroom, but it is still more comfortable having a separate walk-in shower and soaking tub. Pay less with stone-look porcelain tile than real stones for your shower floors and walls, getting nearly the same variety of color and texture, and no sealing needed. Heated bathroom floors can be programmed to warm your feet when you wake up. Help visually expand your small bathroom by using mirrored cabinet, extending the length of the vanity. Gain a huge visual appeal and save a little bit of space by trying a curbless shower and frameless glass door. If you have a clearance of fewer than five feet but you still want a bathtub, you don’t have to be sad because there are now a lot of manufacturers making small bathtubs, and you can use a glass panel to block the spray from the shower isntead of a shower curtain and rod.
While it is true that there are many bathroom remodeling ideas everywhere, most especially online, it is still better to seek the help of a professional to help you in finalizing your bathroom remodeling plan for you to work on the best materials aligned with your budget and design. We can help you out by checking us on our homepage or website now. More than your budget, never compromise the happiness and satisfaction of an entirely new bathroom by having a great bathroom remodeling design, so contact us today! | 2019-04-18T14:46:23 | http://blog4.rapichat.com/why-no-one-talks-about-bathrooms-anymore/ |
Welcome to Marvel Cinematic Tuesday, where we watch a movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Infinity War is all over the place. But, I’m going to wait one more week before I dive into that movie. I watched it this past weekend and it left me SHOOK!! But what’s next for the Marvel Cinematic world? Where do we go after Infinity War? Let’s explore this.
This summer, Ant-Man returns. Truthfully, I’m not looking forward to it. Of all the characters in the MCU, Ant-Man is my least favorite. Peyton Reed is returning as the director. One can only hope that they either write better jokes. Paul Rudd needs to take notes from Ryan Reynolds when he plays Deadpool in how to deliver jokes.
I am really looking forward to Captain Marvel! First, I love Brie Larson. I loved her as Envy in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. She is also in the United States of Tara. I’m excited to see how they integrate Captain Marvel into the story, especially after the events of Civil War. And as you have probably guessed, I love strong female characters.
Ummmm…okay. I’m going to just leave this alone for the moment.
With everything that occurred in Infinity War, I’m curious to see how they are going to top that. Incredible things happen every time they put the band together. They are bringing the Russo brothers back for number four. I swear those two are raking in all the dough. I checked the IMDb and I saw some interesting names in the cast. It makes me wonder what is in store for the gang this time around.
Okay friends, I’ve given you plenty of time to get your life and go see Infinity War. Next week, we talk about it. I want to warn you now just in case you want to catch it before the talk. We are going to dig deep into this exciting and shocking flick.
Well, that’s it for today! On Thursday, I will leave the new anime alone and discuss a show that is ongoing. Sharpen your knives and get your herbs and spices together because it is time for the Shokugeki! That’s right. We are talking Food Wars. It’s not going to be a review because I absolutely love Food Wars. But I do want to dish about it (get it). See ya then! | 2019-04-20T10:55:50 | https://couchcruisin.blog/2018/05/15/marvel-marvel-cinematic-universe-upcoming/ |
While the United States has its own set of "general tax rules" that all states must follow, the tax rates that each state have in place differ. This is due to how state taxes and such differ depending on where you live. For the calculation, we will be basing all of our steps on the idea that the individual filing their taxes has a salary of $137,500.00. If you earn $137,500.00 (or earn close to it) and live in New Hampshire, then this will give you a rough idea of how much you will be paying in taxes on an annual basis. However, an annual, monthly, weekly, and daily breakdown of your tax amounts will be provided in the written breakdown.
The taxes that are taken into account in the calculation consist of your Federal Tax, New Hampshire State Tax, Social Security, and Medicare costs, that you will be paying when earning $137,500.00.
Our New Hampshire State Tax Calculator will display a detailed graphical breakdown of the percentage, and amounts, which will be taken from your $137,500.00 and go towards tax. While this calculator can be used for New Hampshire tax calculations, by using the drop down menu provided you are able to change it to a different State. You can choose another state for federal and state tax calculation here.

SOHO20 is pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 Open Call cycle.
Joining us this summer for the Residency Lab will be Katy McCarthy and Roopa Vasudevan. Exhibiting in the 2018/2019 season of the +/- Project Space will be Motoko Fukuyama, Emily Oliviera, and Romily Alice Walden.
Motoko Fukuyama’s work questions how place can shape the lived experiences and interior lives of her subjects. She creates an open and sympathetic space for exploring the socioeconomic realities and psychology of everyday life. Her approach is quasi-documentary, using real life stories and adapting them into more fantastical cinematic and sculptural scenarios. Her collaborative approach forefronts both the subjects themselves, and the conditions surrounding her filming of their interactions and conversations. Her exhibition, You Never Know What Idea You Might Have, 2017, a two-month project at Recess, NYC, utilized the Argo Electronics Store located on Canal Street as a the subject of her film as well as a site of invention and experimentation. The subject of La Bohème, her recent solo exhibition at Tops Gallery in Memphis, Tennessee, is her own sister Naoko, who has been in the throes of depression and bipolar disorder for most of her adult life. Fukuyama is a 2015 Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grantee, a 2017 MacDowell Colony Fellowship recipient, and a 2018 Yaddo resident.
Emily Oliveira is a Brooklyn-based textile artist, performance artist, musician, and designer. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and studied performance at Brown University. Her visual art work uses labor-intensive craft mediums to explore gender, race, sexuality, and the marginalization and erasure of women’s labor. Her work has been shown at SPRING\BREAK, Space Heater Gallery, Disclaimer Gallery, Euridice Gallery, and the Museum of Arts and Design. Her performances use original and popular music, extravagant costumes, and narratives lifted from pop culture to pick apart American culture and history. She has presented evening-length performances at Ars Nova, Dixon Place, Brown University, and the Judson Memorial Church, and short performances at spaces across Brooklyn and Manhattan. Her costumes have been shown at the Center for Performance Research, The Parlour, Judson Memorial Church, Invisible Dog, and Theater for the New City. She was a 2017 Ars Nova Maker’s Lab resident artist, a resident artist at the AIR Gallery Governor’s Island Studio Residency, a 2018 resident artist at the Museum of Arts and Design’s Artist Studio Program, a 2018 resident at Yaddo, and the BRIC workspace residency.
Romily Alice Walden is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice is concerned with physicality and its interplay with other social categorizations and power differentials. At the core of this practice is an interrogation of contemporary embodiment and its relation to the Post-Internet age. Her work questions modern western society’s relationship with looking, being looked at, gendered hierarchies, disability and the body. Walden’s work has been widely exhibited and featured in publications such as Vice, Hunger Magazine and Another Mag. She lives and works between London, United Kingdom and Berlin, Germany. | 2019-04-25T20:04:56 | http://soho20gallery.com/2018-open-call-winners/ |
LAFCU and Lansing Postal Credit Union’s (LPCCU) respective boards of directors have announced their intent to merge the credit unions on or after April 1, pending member approval. The merger has received regulatory approval and will be put to a vote by LPCCU members on March 14.
Incoming LPCCU members would be able to take advantage of LAFCU’s full suite of mortgage products and its financial technology applications, including CyberScout fraud monitoring services, interactive teller machines, Smart Offices and more.
Smith noted that the consolidation of postal services from Lansing to other locations in Michigan has led to a significant decrease in the number of U.S. Postal Service employees at the Collins Road facility.
The combined entity will have almost $670 million in total assets, a membership of approximately 63,000 and 10 branches in Ingham, Clinton, Eaton and Shiawassee counties. LPCCU’s branch at 4600 Collins Road in Lansing would remain open, and no jobs are expected to be lost due to the merger.
Pending approval of the merger, members should experience no interruption in services during the unification. Member deposits would remain protected by the National Credit Union share Insurance Fund, administered by National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). | 2019-04-20T08:52:05 | https://lansingbusinessnews.com/business-news-today/2018/02/lafcu-lansing-postal-community-credit-union-announce-intent-to-merge/ |

Kubb is an outdoor game where the object is to knock over wooden blocks by throwing wooden sticks at them. The word "Kubb" [pron. koob] means "wooden block" in the Gotland dialect of Swedish.
Kubb can be quickly described as a combination of bowling, horseshoes, and chess.
Rules vary from country to country and region to region, but the ultimate object of the game is to knock the king over before your opponent does. This, combined with the fact that there is a surprising level of strategy that can be used by players, has led some players and kubb fans to nickname the game "Viking Chess."
Games can last for hours, and kubb can enjoyed on a variety of surfaces, from sand to concrete.

Coal mine methane (CMM) refers to methane released from the coal and surrounding rock strata due to mining activities. In underground mines, it can create an explosive hazard to coal miners, so it is removed through ventilation systems. In some instances, it is necessary to supplement the ventilation with a degasification system consisting of a network of boreholes and gas pipelines. In abandoned mines and surface mines, methane might also escape to the atmosphere through natural fissures or other diffuse sources. | 2019-04-25T08:42:31 | https://www.epa.gov/cmop/coal-mine-methane-sources |

Research shows that students who exercise — even a scant half-hour a day — almost immediately show improvement in their school performance. Not only that, but they show fewer signs of depression and they often sleep better at night.
These in part explain why we’ve changed our morning exercise program from twice a week to four times a week. In addition to our Monday and Friday gate run (where students complete a nearly 3-mile run from the Eagle Rock School to the gate at the bottom of our driveway, and back), we’ve now added half-hour exercise programs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
Although being up, dressed, and ready to exercise at 7:15 am can be challenging for everyone, we’ve framed our morning exercise program around motivational theory to help get students up and ready to go. Self determination theory states that there are three major components to motivation, including: competence, autonomy and relatedness.
By signing up for the same morning exercise activity for a five-week segment, the students are accomplishing all three components. How you ask? By doing the same program repeatedly for five weeks, they’re building competence, in that they’re learning how to perform a skill.
The students accomplish autonomy by being able to perform that skill independently – learning how to do it on their own. And as for relatedness, the students are at one with their fellow exercisers — part of the same group for 5 weeks allows them to build relationships with their fellow exercisers.
In order to appeal to students interests and abilities, as well as to offer as many different exercise options as possible, we asked students if they’d be willing to lead these exercise groups, and they have responded enthusiastically.
These student leaders show up early to set up, and stay late to clean up. They also take attendance and commit to helping their other students learn the skills and build confidence with exercise.
In the past six months, we’ve had student leaders direct a variety of activities, including yoga, basketball, soccer, dance, hiking, high-intensity interval training, fitness and even, running.
We’ve also had student assistants for groups that require a staff presence due to safety concern or expertise — groups like aikido, swimming and climbing.
These student leaders are rewarded simply by being able to build leadership and fitness skills while helping their peers develop knowledge of the benefits of daily fitness.
While getting up early to exercise is constantly a challenge, our students are building skills, abilities, and habits that allow them to possess lifelong health and fitness values and benefits. And as you saw, they even have some fun in the process.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the profile, evaluation criteria and fatigue treatment. BACKGROUND: Fatigue, characterised by tiredness, weakness or lack of energy, involves physical, cognitive and emotional aspects. Its aetiology is not well defined and the prevalence ranges from 30-70% in women with breast cancer, reaching up to 80% when they are undergoing radiotherapy. This is one of the most frequent side effects of radiotherapy, and it may interfere with self-esteem, social activities and quality of life. DESIGN: Literature systematic review.
Alcântara-Silva, Tereza Raquel de M.
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the cancer most frequently diagnosed in women worldwide. Even though survival rates are continually increasing, breast cancer is often associated with long-term psychological distress, chronic pain, fatigue and impaired quality of life. Yoga comprises advice for an ethical lifestyle, spiritual practice, physical activity, breathing exercises and meditation. It is a complementary therapy that is commonly recommended for breast cancer-related impairments and has been shown to improve physical and mental health in people with different cancer types.
BACKGROUND: Breast and prostate cancers are the most commonly diagnosed non-dermatologic malignancies in Canada. Agents including endocrine therapies (e.g., aromatase inhibitors, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogs, anti-androgens, tamoxifen) and chemotherapy have improved survival for both conditions. As endocrine manipulation is a mainstay of treatment, it is not surprising that hot flashes are a common and troublesome adverse effect. Hot flashes can cause chills, night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia, lessening patients' quality of life.
BACKGROUND: Many breast cancer patients and survivors use yoga to cope with their disease. The aim of this review was to systematically assess and meta-analyze the evidence for effects of yoga on health-related quality of life and psychological health in breast cancer patients and survivors. METHODS: MEDLINE, PsycInfo, EMBASE, CAMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were screened through February 2012. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing yoga to controls were analyzed when they assessed health-related quality of life or psychological health in breast cancer patients or survivors.
BACKGROUND: Fatigue is one of the most frequently reported, distressing side effects reported by cancer survivors and often has significant long-term consequences. Research indicates that yoga can produce invigorating effects on physical and mental energy, and thereby may improve levels of fatigue. The objective of this systematic review was to examine the literature that reports the effects of randomized, controlled yoga interventions on self-reported fatigue in cancer patients and survivors. | 2019-04-18T17:15:51 | http://isharonline.org/tags/breast-neoplasms |

How we correct tip toe walking in children and adults.
Tip Toe walking refers to a gait pattern where a person walks on their toes or balls of feet, without putting much if any weight through the heel or any other part of the foot.
Tip Toe walking in toddlers is common under the age of 3 and most of these children will grow out of this and adopt a normal walking pattern. If a child continues to toe walk they should be assessed by a podiatrist.
Habitual or idiopathic toe walking, where the cause is unknown. The child is physically capable to stand flat footed, they have always just walked on their toes.
Congenitally short or contracted Achilles Tendon.
Muscle spasticity (i.e Cerebral Palsy). Reflexes are increased and walking may be delayed.
Paralytic muscle disease (i.e Duchene Muscular Dystrophy). There will usually be large calf muscles and signs of muscle weakness. A serum blood test for a specific muscle enzyme level assists diagnosis.
Autism, as persistent toe walking may be an early sign of this condition.
In depth medical history reporting and comparing the normal age for stage child milestone developmental accomplishments.
Gait and range of motion assessment.
Depending on the cause of the toe walking, treatment may vary considerably.
Monitoring for idiopathic toe walking to see if the child “outgrows” the condition, with passive stretching, massage and desensitisation with increased sensory feedback to the heels of the feet.
Heel raises in the shoe that progressively reduce with a stretching regime and increased sensory feedback.
Carbon fibre plates may also be use inside the shoe to prevent tip toe walking in severe habitual cases.
Night splints, AFO braces or serial casting may be necessary, if there is a reduction in calf range of motion.
Botox therapy is used in severe cases to paralyse the calf muscles to prevent resistance to stretching, most often used with serial casting.
Surgical lengthening of the Achilles tendon may be necessary if conservative treatment fails. This is normally day surgery and done in conjunction with serial casting for 6 weeks and bracing.
Referral to a specialist for serious neuro-muscular disorders causing toe walking.
Well Heeled Podiatry has a range of treatment options for toe walker and can assess, diagnose and treat abnormalities of the lower limb, as well as ensuring you as a parent what is the appropriate age for stage developmental milestones. | 2019-04-22T20:52:16 | https://www.wellheeledpodiatry.com.au/tip-toe-walking |
Placer County Deputy CEO for Lake Tahoe Jennifer Merchant explains county staff's proposal to a full room during a town hall with the North Lake Tahoe Resort Assocition on May 3 at Granlibakken Resort in Tahoe City.
Placer County staff and the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association held a town hall on May 3 at Granlibakken Resort in Tahoe City to discuss a proposal that could change how revenue from the Transient Occupancy Tax is spent.
Under county staff’s proposal, which will require approval by the board of supervisors, the NLTRA would focus its efforts solely on marketing the region, and no jobs will be cut.
During the town hall on Wednesday, May 3, NLTRA board members Samir Tuma and Adam Wilson defended the resort association’s current role, and questioned the timing of the proposal.
Additional public meetings are scheduled for Monday, May 8, from 5-8 p.m. at the North Tahoe Event Center in Kings Beach, May 11 from 4-6 p.m. at the Placer County Administrative Center in Tahoe City, and May 12 from 8 a.m. to noon in the Squaw Valley Public Service District conference room in Squaw Valley. | 2019-04-26T04:30:39 | https://www.sierrasun.com/news/local/county-seeks-changes-to-resort-association/ |

In today’s sales environment, a manager that holds great knowledge and expertise will always boost his company’s activities, employees, and overall performances. But to become great at something, you need to work hard and especially smart.
The difference between two concepts is huge. Some people suggest that only by working hard you can accomplish what you want, while others go to the other extreme. But in fact…the real key to excellence is to balance the hard work with the smart work.
Let me give you an example. If you work 10 hours a day, counting hours, you’re working hard but not smart. You might get some pieces of work done, but there’s no structure. On the opposite case, if you have everything planned out well but you only spend 2 hours on the task, there will be half results.
So the solution is to do both. Be extremely careful with your action planning, and spend enough focus and commit to the execution of your plans.This is the mindset of a successful manager. However, managers that exceed at what they do are always developing their personal and professional skills.
They use different strategies, they test, they optimize, they adapt, and they do everything in their powers to perform as well as possible.Well, in today’s post, we’re going to list the 11 most important habits that highly successful managers actively pursue. Pay attention and apply everything you find useful!
Every serious sales has an ideal buyer persona. This characterization of the ideal customer is basically the primary aim of each of the organization’s departments. As a manager, you make sure that all of the company’s departments are in conformity with the final purpose of your products/service – to satisfy and solve the ideal buyer’s problems and needs.
Planning is an important activity which can easily improve the standards of your business. Brian Tracy once stated: “One minute of planning equals 10 minutes in action.” This quote is definitely relevant because it really speaks the truth.
If you plan everything ahead, you leave no room for errors. More than just that, you’re also allowing your subconscious mind (and your team’s) to work with the purpose of attaining the desired future state or result.
A manager that knows what he’s doing always takes care of the sales process specifics. He makes sure that the traffic juices are flowing where they need to flow, he ensures that all the new website visitors/customers/clients are getting whatever they need during the first contact with the organization, and he keeps all the other aspects under control.
Moreover, he also ensures that the sales mechanism is measurable and also repeatable. Every company should consistently optimize and scale its sales process in order to expand.
Great sales managers are always in control with almost everything that’s going on in that company. In fact, the products and the services that this company sells are the first and most important aspects that a manager should be in control of.
If you want to be a reliable manager, you need to know the ins and outs of everything that you sell. This way, you’ll better coordinate your team and your strategies also.
Every professional, especially a manager, should execute his management activities according to objective decisions. Facts over feelings. When feelings get involved, it’s inevitable that your objectives with the company will become personal.
From there on, your decision will also lack judgment because of what stands in the way of your rational thinking. Whenever you get caught up by feelings, stop, take a deep breath, and remember that your job is to stabilize the company, not to use it for your personal ambitions.
Relationships are truly important in general. When we’re talking about managers, personal connections can be considered a game changer. In the sales, resourcefulness is one of the most important traits that a businessman can possess.
You come across problems? Trouble? Challenges? Well, if you’ve helped others before, you can be sure that someone’s going to help you back. Create a strong network based on respect and value. Have that and you’ll turn into a super manager.
When you do something, especially when you manage a company, you need to believe that what you’re doing is right. In most cases, companies sell things. In order for you to be 100% emotionally involved, you need to actually believe in what you’re selling.
Here’s a funny imagination exercise. You hate sodas, you know they are extremely unhealthy, and you refuse to drink them. A job offer from Coca-Cola shows up at your doorstep. They give you more than your actual company could ever give you. BUT. You have to sell sodas, and you have to sell it to a lot of people.
Most people will take the job because the benefits are very tempting. However, you don’t believe in what you’re selling. In time, status and money will no longer satisfy your needs, and you’ll find yourself miserable and ineffective. It’s simple. In essence, you don’t enjoy what you’re doing and you’re stepping over your personal standards and ethics.
Where does this lead to? A miserable life. Unfortunately, this outcome is present more in today’s generation of employees more than you can ever imagine. Want to stay out of the danger zone? Love your work, and it’ll smoothly turn into play.
Whenever you’re requested to do something, make sure that you follow up.You have an important e-mail? Do not neglect it. Whenever you miss doing something that “only the manager can do”, you’re hurting your company big time.
Therefore, be careful not to miss any opportunities or requests that might appear. Your job is to be active and consistent.
What is a professional supposed to do? Do his job well, take care of his specific responsibilities, and always support the mission of the company in the best possible manner. In short, we’re talking about value.
A good manager must be able to imagine the customer’s success as one of their own. How do you do that? Well, you simply put yourself into your customer’s shoes. Imagine that you have no big knowledge about the products you’re going to buy and preserve an objective pair of eyes.
Now imagine how would you feel after a possible contact with your company and its products/services. Will you be happy? Content? Or you’d rather take your money back. Use this type of feedback to optimize all of your offers and brand promises.
Lastly yet very importantly, a successful manager knows how to motivate and challenge his prospects up to the point where the magic happens. When your prospects represent your team of employees that listen to your own commands, your responsibility is to empower each of your employees to offer their best to the company. Do that, and your company will flourish.
If you’re really looking for improvement, you need to look at your own person first. By changing your habits, thinking, and decisions for the better, in time, you’ll be amazed by the results you’ll obtain.
Every single company needs a professional manager who knows how to act in difficult situations. Moreover, without a person to keep track of the company’s overall performance, there might be chaos and therefore no progress. | 2019-04-20T21:00:11 | https://puckermob.com/moblog/11-habits-of-highly-successful-managers/ |

The National Institutes of Health has awarded Kristy Townsend, an assistant professor of neurobiology at the University of Maine, nearly $713,000 for a two-year study investigating brain-adipose communication and how peripheral nerves in fat tissue function.
Townsend is interested in how the brain talks to fat tissue because nerves are important for proper control of metabolic processes, as chemical and surgical denervation experiments in fat, or adipose tissue, have demonstrated.
Metabolic disorders that stem from excess and unhealthy body fat are occurring at pandemic levels, according to Townsend. Currently, Maine is the most obese state in New England, and obesity is linked to other metabolic conditions, such as Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Unhealthy adipose tissue, such as tissue that lacks proper innervation, may exacerbate these conditions, Townsend says.
The brain can regulate metabolism and burn calories in adipose tissues through peripheral nerve communication, and Townsend’s team believes the function of adipose nerves can be regulated at the tissue level, in part through the local release of neurotrophic factors that help keep the nerves healthy.
Townsend’s team also hypothesizes, based on tests with humans and mice, that in a chronically inflamed adipose depot, such as with obesity or diabetes, that there is a state of adipose neuropathy, or a loss of nerve supply in the fat tissue.
The team found while nerves die in cases of obesity, diabetes and aging, they also can grow back with cold exposure or exercise. However, many questions about adipose nerves remain, Townsend says.
The main goal of the Research Project Grant (R01) is to determine the mechanisms by which fat tissue nerves experience plasticity and neuropathy, which Townsend and students in her lab have observed experimentally, and to better understand what nerve types are found in fat tissue and how the products released from those nerve cells affect metabolic function in fat tissue.
The team has identified a specific nerve growth factor secreted in fat tissue upon stimulation by cold exposure, a factor which is important for keeping nerves healthy and alive. When it is deleted from the immune cells that reside in fat tissue, the nerve supply is lost, and the fat tissue becomes enlarged, unhealthy and inflamed. They hope to learn more about that system to potentially develop new therapies for obesity.
Findings from the study, according to Townsend, could help establish a new area of research for adipose biology, focused on the cellular cross-talk mediating neural dynamics in fat tissue to regulate energy balance. The ability to repave any lost brain-adipose communication highways also could provide new therapeutic strategies, she says.
Other UMaine researchers involved in the project are Magdalena Blaszkiewicz, a doctoral candidate in the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, and Cory Johnson, a master’s student in the School of Biology and Ecology. Collaborators are James Godwin, a research scientist at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine; Lei Cao at Ohio State University; and Maribel Rios at Tufts University.
Earlier this year, Townsend received a $750,000 Collaborative Sciences Award from the American Heart Association for a three-year study looking at the aging of fat tissue and its effects on cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. The awards are complementary, Townsend says, and together should uncover new knowledge about how nerves and fat tissue interact to affect metabolic health. | 2019-04-22T20:54:47 | https://umaine.edu/news/blog/2018/06/28/neurobiology-professor-awarded-nih-grant-study-communication-brain-fat-tissue/ |

As cerebralpalsy.org reports, Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders that can be caused by a birth injury or brain damage later in life, and it results from the brain’s inability to control the body adequately. Cerebral Palsy affects chronic movement and posture, causing stiff or difficult movement, loss of depth perception and balance, and/or involuntary or uncontrolled movements. Approximately 10,000 babies each year in the United States will develop Cerebral Palsy, and it is estimated that 800,000 people in the United States live with the disorder. Of that number, about 2-3 children out of every 1,000 children have Cerebral Palsy.
A York Daily Record interview with Kyle Barnhart, a 19 year old college student, shows that people affected by a Cerebral Palsy birth disorder can overcome their disability and become very successful. Barnhart lives with Cerebral Palsy, and while he travels across campus in a motorized wheelchair, uses an electronic communication device to help him speak, and is assisted by aides, his life reflects that of a typical college student. Barnhart throws around a football with his friends, participates in dorm pranks and antics and regularly speaks in class. Cerebral Palsy is thought to be caused by a prenatal brain injury, but Barnhart does not have mental disabilities; in fact, he made the Dean’s List during his first semester of college.
Our Chicago birth injury attorneys represent clients who have developed Cerebral Palsy as a result of medical malpractice and doctor error. For example, we reached a $4.5 million settlement on behalf of a child who suffered brain injury leading to Cerebral Palsy because a doctor failed to perform a timely Caesarean section despite fetal distress. The Illinois birth injury lawyers at our firm also reached a $2.3 million settlement for another child who suffered a severe brain injury and Cerebral Palsy when a physician failed to perform a Caesarean section in a timely manner after the child’s mother complained of a ripping and tearing feeling in her uterus. Birth injuries, such as Cerebral Palsy, often require lifelong medical care. Verdicts and settlements reached on behalf of victims can help to compensate for lifetime medical expenses, potential loss of income and pain and suffering from these injuries. If you believe that your child suffered a birth injury as a result of a healthcare provider’s negligence, please contact us to discuss your case. | 2019-04-19T02:16:24 | https://www.chicagobirthinjurylawyerblog.com/college_student_triumphs_over/ |

“We don’t need an energy miracle” to effectively address climate change. That was the message a speaker from the Risky Business Project shared with Washington State business leaders earlier this month. Their new research identifies cost-competitive, low-carbon energy sources and technologies that already exist and will become cheaper over the coming decades.
Business leaders from across Washington State met on January 17th, 2017 to learn about the next wave of opportunities and threats associated with climate change and the transition to a clean energy economy. The gathering was part of the “Where to Next” series organized by Washington Business Alliance, Washington Business for Climate Action, and The Nature Conservancy. It’s an effort to design non-partisan, practical, and cost-efficient carbon policy solutions in Washington State. The event was centered around guest speaker Kate Gordon, Senior Advisor to the Paulson Institute.
The Risky Business Project was founded in October 2013 by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg, and businessman Tom Steyer. The initiative aims to assess and publicize the economic risks to the U.S. associated with climate change. Their highly influential 2014 report made clear that climate change poses a growing risk to the U.S. economy. It provided evidence that billions of dollars of real estate, crops, and business infrastructure are at risk from rising heat, seas, and storms.
At one point, Gordon attempted to distill the latest recommendations into the most laconic wording possible. She wanted to achieve something akin to food writer Michael Pollan’s nutrition advice: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” The result?
Make most electricity low- or zero-carbon.
The new Risky Business report prescribes three basic strategies.
Electric fuel currently makes up 23% of total energy usage. In a typical scenario (the “Mixed Resource Pathway”), electric fuel needs to reach 51% of total energy usage in order to achieve the required 80% reduction in carbon emissions.
U.S. electricity currently contains 509 kilograms of CO2 per megawatt-hour. A typical pathway to 80% GHG emissions reduction requires massive decarbonization of electricity to 2 kg of CO2 per megawatt-hour.
To hit the required 80% reduction in GHG emissions, Gordon described a dramatic increase in energy efficiency. Energy intensity of GDP would need to be ⅓ of current levels.
The report lays out four different pathways to accomplish the needed transition, each with different mixes of technologies.
High Renewable Pathway. Because of continuing innovation and declining costs for technologies like wind (the cost of wind energy has decreased 41 percent from 2009 to 2016) and solar (installed costs have dropped 64 percent since 2008), continued expansion of renewable energy is now both technically possible and economically feasible.
High Nuclear Pathway requires a build rate for nuclear plants that’s roughly 80 percent higher than the 1970-1990 rate. Achieving these rates would require a much more accelerated siting, permitting, and construction process than that in use today.
High CCS Pathway. CCS refers to carbon capture and storage. This pathway would preserve a role for fossil fuel generation, while sequestering 90 percent of the associated CO2 emissions.
Mixed Resource Pathway relies on a balanced blend of clean electricity technologies: renewables, nuclear, and CCS.
Overall, the path forward charted by Risky Business will create 1 million additional jobs by 2030. Massive job gains in the construction sector with smaller losses for jobs related to coal, mining, oil, and gas. The report’s authors project that the prescribed clean energy transition will create 0.6% increase in GDP ($160 billion) by 2030.
It “does not require an energy miracle” to address climate change. It can be achieved with existing technology. And yet “that does not mean there are not challenges,” Gordon warned. It would require substantial investments from the private sector. To achieve a clean energy economy by 2050 will require about $320 billion per year. Investments ramp up over the coming decades and then plateau in the mid-2030s. Fuel savings start small and grow steadily as clean energy substitutes for fossil fuel and fuel prices increase. By the mid-2030s, the U.S. will achieve net savings from its investments. By 2050, net change is close to zero.
None of this will be easy. Significant obstacles stand between the U.S. and the required 80% reduction in GHG emissions.
The pace of power plant construction must increase by a factor of 2-4. “Daunting, but doable,” says Gordon.
Renewables provides intermittent and unpredictable supplies. This increases the importance of the power grid because it requires extensive load balancing. Achieving that capacity requires significant expansion and upgrades of the power grid’s transmission and distribution system. According to Gordon, siting new transmission lines “could be a big challenge” to electrification.
Shifting to electric vehicles will require major infrastructure build-out.
Utilities must change their business models to integrate diverse and distributed resources. “Smart grids and smart devices need to match supply and demand,” says Gordon.
Gordon closed her presentation with the recommendations reached by the Risky Business team. First, she said “the private sector has the technical and economic capacity to accomplish – and profit from – this transformation, but that requires a clear and consistent policy and regulatory framework.
Internalize the true cost of carbon pollution through legislation or regulation.
Avoid subsidizing activities that increase climate risk, e.g., tax incentives for fossil fuel production.
Streamline government investment into infrastructure, R&D, education, and training.
Assist Americans negatively affected by the clean energy transition.
Putting an internal price on carbon.
Factoring climate risk into investment decisions.
Conducting a detailed climate risk assessment.
Setting and publicizing a company-wide emission reduction goal.
Develop and implement a concrete action plan.
“Meeting these targets requires shifting away from ongoing spending on fossil fuels and toward up-front capital investments in clean energy technologies,” Gordon said. Many renewable technologies, such as wind and solar, have little or no fuel cost once built. “Given an appropriate policy framework,” Gordon said, “we expect these investments will be made largely by consumers and private companies… and to yield significant returns.” Addressing climate change won’t require “an energy miracle,” but substantial investment from the private sector facilitated by a clear and consistent policy and regulatory framework.
The session ended with a showcase of new forecasting software being developed by Washington Business Alliance to simulate the effects of different state-level carbon policy scenarios. More details will emerge about this effort later in 2017.
The black line indicates the “as-spent” net cost, largely the difference between the clean energy investments and the fossil fuel savings from a simple ”cash drawer” accounting perspective.
The black line indicates the net change in total energy system cost, estimated as changes in annualized investment costs plus changes in fuel costs. It also includes small changes in other operating costs. | 2019-04-24T12:13:06 | https://www.lowcarbonprosperity.org/2017/01/25/climate-change-creates-risk-opportunity-wa-business/ |

On 28th October 1647 leaders of the Parliamentary army and representatives of the rank and file, along with a number of London radicals known as the Levellers, converged on St Mary’s Church in Putney.
‘The Moderate Intelligencer’, a newsbook of the time, reported that on the 28th ‘a great assembly was this day at Putney Church, where was debated matters of high concernment…there was resolution taken to meet the next day and proceed’.
With Charles I locked up, deciding what to do with the king was high on the agenda. But at a time when radical ideas were spreading across the country, enabled by the affordability of the printing press, which was proving difficult to regulate, the debates would be dominated by discussion of a recently printed Leveller pamphlet: ‘An Agreement of the People’.
After a five hour prayer meeting in the morning, the debaters convened for the second day of discussions.
The day was dominated by debates about the right to vote. On one side, Henry Ireton (Cromwell’s son-in-law) advocated that the right to vote should remain only for people who own property worth more than 40 shillings.
The other side of the argument was summed up in the words of Colonel Thomas Rainborough, who declared:’I think that the poorest he that is in England hath a life to live, as the greatest he’.
A vote taken late in the evening found a majority for extending the vote to all men, except servants and beggars.
Following the momentous discussions on 29 October, the General Council confirmed that the motion proposed with regard to extending the right to vote would be carried.
Believed to have written by one of the key figures in the Leveller movement, John Wildman, An Agreement of the People was printed in October 1647, in time for the start of the debates on October 28.
As the debates were taking placing, the radical ideas contained within the Leveller pamphlet were spreading across London.
The Agreement called for every man to be equal under the law, for freedom of religious expression, and for the present Parliament to be dissolved and future Parliaments to meet regularly.
After the first two days of the debates, the remainder of the record is fragmentary.
It is likely that the army leadership considered that the controversial topics which were being discussed would be risky to be kept on the record.
On November 8 the army leaders decided to bring the debating to an end, by proposing that the agitators should return to their regiments.
Perhaps concerned by the overwhelming support for the Leveller pamphlet, An Agreement of the People, the army leaders called a halt to proceedings. | 2019-04-20T10:17:14 | http://www.theputneydebates.co.uk/the-putney-debates-day-by-day/ |
Our standard line of tuba pieces encompasses a very complete selection of both inside diameter and cup depths.
"I didn't think I had any reason to change from my Mirafone C4 tuba mouthpiece, which I have played for 43 years, but after trying your 32D I've never gone back. Not only is my sound even sweeter than before, it has centered up low Eb giving me confidence that I'm the one in tune (the way I feel about the other notes) and everyone else needs to find me. I couldn't be happier. Thanks!"
The designations represent the inside diameter, in hundredths of an inch, and the cup depth. For example, a 28D would be 1.280" and a deep cup.
In addition to our standard tuba mouthpiece models, we've finished development of "The Grail Series" models. These are reproductions of really great playing old Helleberg models that we have had an opportunity to examine and replicate. We have had great success with these models and ask that you contact Russ Ward to find out more. | 2019-04-21T00:18:40 | http://warburton-usa.com/index.php/tuba-mouthpieces |
The Pirates will wear the throwback uniforms on Sundays.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have announced they will wear throwback uniforms from 1979 for Sunday games during the 2016 season, the team announced.
The uniform is made up of a gold pullover jersey accompanied with black pants & a Pirates pillbox cap. The beltless pants have black and gold piping on the sides.
The Pirates' 1979 kit was one of six uniform that were worn between a stretch from 1977-1979.
The uniforms brought the Pirates luck that year, as Willie Stargell and Dave Parker led the Pittsburgh to their fifth World Series title. The Pirates haven't won the World Series since 1979. | 2019-04-23T08:12:42 | https://www.si.com/mlb/2016/02/18/pittsburgh-pirates-wear-1979-uniforms-sunday-games |
When Jerome* called us at 1-800-RUNAWAY he was struggling with how to handle being bullied at school. His friend outed him to their peers at school and the bullying that came after was relentless. The bullying was reported to his teachers and principals and while his mother was trying to advocate for him the best she could, nothing seemed to change. The only thing he could think of to do was to run away from it all.
The main trigger of the bullying was his friend outing Jerome as gay. Since then, his classmates would throw paper notes at him with homophobic slurs and even slip these notes in his locker. Some of his “friends” and peers even started a group chat where they talked about him behind his back. The extent of the bullying made Jerome feel that people were always staring and judging his every move.
Bullying is illegal and schools have an obligation to create safe environments for our youth to grow and learn. However, that doesn’t always happen and widespread bullying doesn’t necessarily get fixed overnight. The liner who picked up the call, Nico*, worked with Jerome to come up with some ways to address the situation and cope.
While school officials and staff weren’t necessarily a trusted support system for him, Nico suggested that Jerome look outside the school system for counseling or therapy. Jerome was a little skeptical at first, he did not see how a therapist would solve his issues. However, Nico pointed out that a therapist could serve as a neutral person who is there for HIM with no ties to his school or bullies. Therapy could be a good resource for him to explore ways to address bullying and be there for him along the way. Nico was able to provide a few services in his area that were free to low cost.
Jerome wanted to someday confront his bullies but wasn’t ready to take that step at the time of the call. He let us know that he really just wanted for someone to listen to his story and believe him. We are always so honored to be that trusted with our youth’s stories as it can be so hard to talk about issues like bullying. The call ended with Nico reminding Jerome that the National Runaway Safeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year for if he ever needs to talk or wants to explore more options. | 2019-04-21T10:23:29 | https://www.1800runaway.org/2018/10/runaway-reality-bullied-school/ |
In just a few years Beavertown Brewery’s beers have become amongst the most popular craft beers in London (and beyond) – lovingly crafted, beautifully designed, and with well-earned spots at pubs and festivals across the country. Here, founder Logan Plant shares his business journey with us.
Ethos – All about the beer, but more than just a beer.
Our beers are driven by quality and the people that make them. Consistency and stimulation are key and they are all about personality. They have a heartbeat and are tactile. In our eyes they are living, breathing entities not commoditised, industrialised units on a spreadsheet.
Brand – Be the Unicorn!
Differentiate: Be a one-off. The beer market is crowded, so we wanted to stand for something that was true and honest but absolutely a pure representation of us as people and brewers.
Define: What do you stand for? Be honest to yourself. If you don’t love and believe in your beer who else will?!
Consideration: The upmost care and attention must go into every piece of the jigsaw from the beer concept, recipe, ingredients used to the execution of the brew day, the fermentation process, packaging quality and design of artwork. The service levels to our customers is also absolutely key. We want to build great relationships with our drinkers and our accounts, this is about forming trust and therefore hopefully longevity in the market place.
Conviction: Brewing is a blank canvas, what we can achieve through fermentation and infusion knows no boundaries. Therefore, we attack the open space and aim to thrill, stimulate and take people on a journey. We brew with absolute conviction and execute every step of the way to the highest standards possible.
People – Everybody here amounts to everything.
We are Team Beaver. We are all leaders throughout the day, from conception of recipe to the beer touching the drinker’s lips. Each and every one of Team Beaver has a massive role to play on the beers journey to the drinker. This is supported by two key aspects - our Culture and Community.
Culture: The working environment at the brewery is essential and is maintained and developed by the mindset of the team. We look to recruit not just the right person through experience and knowledge but also the right kind of personality that will complement the team at large. We really try to enhance ‘Positive Ownership’ of the brand. All members are encouraged to work events such as Tap Take Overs and Meet the Brewers where they get to converse with the drinker and bring the brewing experience to life but also create that essential relationship with the drinker. Again, this is more than just a beer. We set out to be an employer of choice and to give back to our team. We have done this by initiating private health care cover and life assurance for all, a pension scheme, and becoming a London Living Wage employer.
Community: This is all about our connection and interaction to our locality and its people. In Tottenham we work alongside many local producers and businesses. Our tap room is open every Saturday from 2-8pm, where we invite the public in to our ‘world’. They can drink fresh from the source, talk the team if they have questions, meet the brewers and take tours around the facility. All this is about building relationships, creating a hub and becoming part of the community at large. We want that bond with the people and we want to bring the beer to life. Beavertown is more than just a beer.

Two weeks from this Thursday is my trip to the Philippines. I am so very excited. This is my very first time celebrating my Christmas birthday after 15 years that I arrived in the USA. I cannot wait but I need to pack my luggage yet. I have so many gifts that I will share to my family and friends and finding space to put them all together is not fun. I am sure I will finish packing before my trip will be here.
I wanted to rent a car just like this car from cars.com. I wanted to go to places new or old that I missed during the last time I visited my native country five years ago. I want to drive my Mom to places she wanted to go. I want to cherish each moment and have the best time of my vacation in the Philippines especially with my Mom. I know that one of the car from this website is a dream car to rent. I will check if they have a branch in the Philippines or maybe similar that I can bring my Mom to explore with me.
There are so many cars to choose from and sure that you can find your dream too for the road trip of your life with your family and friends.
Wish me the best trip and you too to drive safely to your destination. Make you sure bring your camera to capture those moments from your travel and have the best trip.
I am so happy that I received my first USA postcard. It comes from Sue. She lives in Pennsylvania.
She found this postcard in an antique store. The postcard is The Philippine Pavilion in New York City. How cool is this postcard. It feels like a little piece of me from being away from home.
Thank you so very much Sue for this beautiful postcard. I really liked it.
I am so happy that I received my 2nd postcard from being a new member of Post Crossing. I sent eight postcards all over the world. I received two postcards in return.
The postcard came from Germany. It only took six days to arrive in my mailbox. It came from a male named Jens. It has beautiful rock formation. The postcard is beautiful. I liked it. I hope I will receive more postcards soon. | 2019-04-21T20:51:43 | http://www.tropical7107islands.com/ |
The appellate tribunal staying the liquidation, also noted that the application was admitted on July 4, 2017 and was uploaded on July 12, and the interim RP joined thereafter.
The Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Tuesday accepted the amended resolution plan for Jyoti StructuresNSE 2.94 %, following an order to this effect by the appellate tribunal, a move opposed by DBS Bank saying it will move the Supreme Court.
The sole bidder Sharad Sanghi, who heads the software firm Netmagic, Monday submitted a revised bid as per an order of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) last week. In the amended bid, Sanghi will pay Rs 3,965 crore in 12 years against the original bid of 15 years.
As per this first bid, the company has a liquidation value of just Rs 1,112.52 crore, leaving the bankers with a 43 percent haircut.
However, DBS Bank, which is the first charge-holder in the case, opposed the NCLT move and said it will challenge the same in the Supreme Court. The bank is peeved by the fact that the amended plan does not distinguish between the first charge-holder and the second charge holder.
The company owes Rs 53.77 crore to DBS Bank.
It cannot noted that last week the NCLAT had set aside an NCLT Mumbai bench’s July 31, 2018 order to liquidate Jyoti Structures, and asked the bench to consider the Rs 4,000-crore resolution plan submitted by Sanghi and others.
“The case is remitted to the Mumbai NCLT to approve the revised resolution plan,” said the NCLAT order.
It can be noted NCLT Mumbai on July 31,2018, rejected the Sanghi’s resolution plan and ordered liquidation of the company which owes Rs 7,010.55 crore to the lenders.
According to the Rs 3,965.06-crore resolution plan by Sanghi, who is the managing director and chief executive of IT solutions provider Netmagic, along with others, Rs 50 crore would be paid upfront, followed by Rs 75 crore over the next 12 months and the remaining in staggered payments over the next in 15 years. Under the revised plan, he would pay the remaining amount in 12 years.
On March 26 and 27, 2018, Sanghi’s resolution plan was voted by 62.66 percent of lenders, while 23.12 percent voted against, and 14.21 percent abstained. But later, on April 2, 2018, some lenders changed their minds and agreed to accept the proposal, taking the final tally of those lenders accepting the proposal at 81.31 percent.
But Sanghi’s resolution plan was rejected by NCLT on the two grounds, citing delays beyond the mandated 270 days and the absence of required majority of 75 percent at the March 26 & 27, 2018 voting when only 62.66 percent of the lenders had accepted the bid.
Following this, Sanghi had in August moved the NCLAT, which stayed the liquidation process, saying the NCLT did not consider the eight-day gap between the firm being admitted for bankruptcy and appointment of interim resolution professional.
“If the aforesaid period of eight days is excluded, the resolution plan was approved within 270 days which the NCLT has failed to note,” it said. | 2019-04-20T20:38:55 | https://aniltikotekar4sme.com/2019/03/27/nclt-admits-revised-bid-for-jyoti-structures-dbs-to-move-sc-the-economic-times/ |

Today, only little remains of the great Temple of Castor and Pollux in the Roman Forum, the twin sons of god Jupiter. According to legend, during the war against the Etruscans and the Latins, two handsome men leading the Roman cavalry brought Rome to victory.
Everyone in Rome figured out the two twins must have been Castor and Pollux, also known as Dioscuri, sons of Jupiter. To worship them the Romans built a beautiful temple, of which today only three columns remain dating back to the 6th century A.D.
The two demigods became the symbol of Rome military success, favored by Roman knights and noblemen, the only social categories that could actually afford to have horses.
Therefore, the Temple of Castor and Pollux intended to celebrate the rule of aristocracy in military success. Next to the temple there’s a water spring and a pool dedicated to Juturna, the nymph of good health: according to legend, the Castors were spotted here watering their horses after the fight.
However, the temple of Castor and Pollux was not only a place of worship. It was also the place where fathers came to officially names their children. | 2019-04-21T10:41:07 | https://www.romawonder.com/temple-castor-pollux-roman-forum/ |

Engraving from a photograph owned by John Q. Goss, Bellevue, Nebraska.
that after the dissolution of the Missouri company, Lisa, Pilcher, and others bought a new company for $10,000, and they added goods to the amount of $7,000. As Lisa died in 1820, he could not have joined Pilcher in his last enterprise after the expiration of the Missouri company, if it had lived until 1828 or 1830. The confusion must be accounted for by the fact that another company of the same name was organized after the dissolution of the first, and it is to that doubtless that some writers refer. Long notes that Major Pilcher and Lucien Fontenelle were in the employ of the Missouri Fur Company at the beginning of the year 1820. Not long after Lisa's death, the company, now in charge of Pilcher, moved its post from Fort Lisa down to the site of Bellevue. Chittenden states that Lucien Fontenelle and Andrew Drips bought the post soon after this time and retained it many years, though in another place this author says that they built a post at Bellevue. It is probable that this Fontenelle was connected with one of the numerous French royal families, and it is stated that he committed suicide at Fort Laramie; but reliable local accounts say that he left his mountain trading post in 1839 and came to Bellevue where he lived with his family until he died, from intemperate habits, in 1840. He married a woman of the Omaha tribe and they had five children.
it. He made it a study to promote the welfare of his people and to bring them out of their wretchedness, poverty and ignorance. His first step to that end was to organize a parole of picked men and punish all that came home intoxicated with bad whiskey. His effort to stop whiskey drinking was successful. It was his intention as soon as the Omahas were settled in their new home to ask the government to establish ample schools among them, to educate the children of the tribe by force if they would not send the children by reasonable persuasion. His calculations for the benefit of the tribe were many, but, like many other human calculations, his life suddenly ended in the prime, and just as he was ready to benefit his people and sacrifice a life's labor for helpless humanity. After Logan was killed the Omahas went back to Bellevue instead of coming back to the reservation whence they started, and wintered along the Missouri river between Calhoun and the reservation, some of them at Bellevue. In the spring of 1856 they again went back to their reservation, where they have been since.
Between the years 1822 and 1826, J. P. Cabanné established a post for the American Fur Company at a point nine or ten miles above the later site of the Union Pacific bridge at Omaha. It is probable that Joshua Pilcher succeeded Cabanné in the management of the post in 1833, and between that year and 1840 it was moved down to Bellevue and placed under the management of Peter A. Sarpy. Pilcher succeeded General Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, as superintendent of Indian affairs at St. Louis in 1838. The Rev. Samuel Allis, a missionary to the Pawnee Indians and who was frequently at Bellevue as early as 1834 and thereafter, states that in the year named, his party camped at the fur company's fort and that Major Pilcher was in charge of the post; also that soon after Peter A. Sarpy came into that part of the country he was clerk for Cabanné. Chittenden says that "Fontenelle and Drips apparently bought Pilcher's Post and established it in their own name which it retained for many years." Thus both the Missouri Fur Company's post and the American Fur Company's post appear to have been transferred to Bellevue, the one from Fort Lisa and the other from Cabanné's, The Rev. Moses Merrill, a Baptist missionary to the Otoe Indians, who came to Bellevue on his mission in the fall of 1833, speaks in his diary of visiting Cabanné's post as late as April 1, 1839, so that it could not have been removed to Bellevue before that time; and Mr. Merrill, whose diary comes down to August 18, 1839, makes no mention of the removal. In this diary Mr. Merrill frequently speaks of riding from Bellevue to "the trading post," eighteen miles, which was in charge of Major Pilcher, and evidently the old Cabanné post. On the 7th of March, 1834, Merrill makes the following entry in his diary: "Sublette and Campbell have established a trading post here in opposition to the American Company." On the 10th of May, 1834, he records that he set out from the trading post eighteen miles above Bellevue, which must have been Cabanné's, to the Otoe village which he says was twenty-five miles distant. After Mr. Merrill had established himself at the Otoe mission house on the south side of the Platte, he records, May 30, 1836, that he rode to Cabanné's post, thirty miles. Mr. Merrill repeatedly states that he and the women who assisted him in his mission work, went backwards and forwards daily between the mission house and the Otoe village, so that they could have been only a short distance apart. The permanent Otoe villages were on the west side of the Platte river forty miles from its mouth, not far from the present village of Yutan. The Merrill mission establishment was about eight miles above the month of the Platte where a chimney still marks its site. Merrill's diary tells us in a vague way that the Otoe villages were moved down the Platte from the site in question during the summer of 1835. Merrill gives the distance from the trading post to the villages and to the mission as the same, showing that they were very near together; and his diary gives other ample evidence of that fact. Allis says that Merrill's establishment was on the Platte, six miles from Bellevue.
company, and in 1834 was occupied by Major Pilcher." This agrees with another statement that Pilcher succeeded Cabanné as manager of the post in 1833. Mr. Merrill states that at Bellevue was a government agency for the Otoes, Pawnees, Omahas, and Missouris. "Bellevue," he says. "was at first a trading post of the Missouri Fur Company. They had sold out to Fontenelle, and he had disposed of a part of his holdings to the government. Here Major John Dougherty was government agent and Major Beauchamp was assistant. There were here now but few men. During the summer before, the cholera had carried off seven out of ten in twenty-four hours. On the bank of the river were the poorer huts, while higher up were the agency buildings. A quarter of a mile below were the buildings of Fontenelle. Mr. Merrill says that under Major Dougherty were "his brother, Hannibal, assistant, a teacher, an assistant teacher, two blacksmiths to care for the farming tools, and one or two farmers to teach the Indians how to make their crops." The missionary, the Rev. Moses Merrill, unfortunately for the cause of accurate history, was an almost morbid religious devotee, and his diary is so largely given up to recording his devotions and varying religious moods as to leave too little room for intelligible historical data.

of the Old Town company which laid out the town of Bellevue, and in company with Stephen Decatur and others laid out the town of Decatur, where he had maintained a trading post. In 1862, he moved to Plattsmouth, where he died January 4, 1865. Sarpy county was named in his honor. The St. Louis relatives of Colonel Sarpy deny that he left any considerable estate. He provided, however, for the payment of an annuity of $200 to Ni-co-mi, his Indian wife, which amount was paid regularly until her death.
EARLY TRADERS. A number of the hardy traders of the early days in the Plains country deserve special attention and, briefly sketched, their lives throw a ray of light into those early days and present an understanding of the loneliness of the lives they led, as nothing else can.
Manuel de Lisa. Manuel de Lisa, Spanish fur trader of Nebraska, was born in Cuba, September 8, 1772. He came to this country about the time the Spanish took possession of Louisiana. His father was in the service of the Spanish government during most of his life time. Manuel de Lisa went to St. Louis about the year 1790, when he became interested in the fur business. In 1800, he secured from the Spanish government the exclusive right to trade with the Osage Indians. In 1807, he came up the Missouri river and established a post and began the fur trade at the mouth of the Bighorn and also at Fort Lisa, near the present site of Fort Calhoun. He returned to St. Louis and organized the St. Louis Fur Company. Lisa, was made subagent for all of the Indian tribes along the Missouri north of Kansas. He was beyond question the most active and successful man who ever entered the Indian country in the early days, and rendered great service to the government. He was a prominent citizen of St. Louis and was one of the incorporators of the Bank of St. Louis in 1813.
Manuel Lisa was married twice among his own people, and also had a wife from the Omaha tribe. It is said this marriage was for the purpose of ingratiating himself into the Indian favor and to hold a commericial advantage over his rivals in the fur trade.
Two children were born of this union and were recognized in his will as his "natural children." Lisa provided for the education of these children before his death. Little is known of his first wife who favored him with three children. The second wife of his own people was Mary Hampstead Keeny, of St. Louis, whom he married August 5, 1818. Mrs. Lisa spent the winter of 1819-1820 with her husband at his post in Nebraska and was probably the first white woman to ascend the Missouri river.
Major Joshua Pilcher. Major Joshua Pilcher, pioneer Indian trader, was born in Virginia, March 15, 1790. He entered business pursuits in St. Louis in 1812, and in 1820 entered the fur trade as a member of the reorganized Missouri Fur Company, of which he became president in 1821, upon the death of Manuel Lisa. He remained at the head of this company until its dissolution about 1830. For a time he transferred his services to the American Fur Company and had charge of their post at Council Bluff. In 1838, he was appointed by President Van Buren as superintendent of Indian affairs at St. Louis, which was made vacant by the death of General William Clark, the associate of Meriwether Lewis. As did a large number of these early pioneers, he married an Indian woman. He is represented as a man of great ability, of strict integrity, and high standing in business and social circles.
was performed by Father De Smet, an influential Catholic missionary.
Fontenelle had five children: Logan, Henry, Albert, Tecumseh, and Susan. He gave all of his children a good education and they were baptised in the Catholic faith. In 1838, he abandoned his mountain home and lived with his family in Bellevue. He died in 1840 and was buried at Bellevue. His distinguished son, Logan, was later buried by his side.
Andrew Drips. Andrew Drips, fur trader, was born in 1789 in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania. But little is known of his early history. Like his contemporaries, he went to St. Louis which at the time was attracting attention. In 1820 he became a member of the reorganized Missouri Fur Company and accompanied many expeditions in its interest, gaining a reputation as mountaineer. In 1842, he was appointed Indian agent by President Tyler for the Indians of the upper Missouri tribes. After four years in this service he entered the employ of the American Fur Company and for some years lived in the vicinity of Bellevue. For a time he was associated with Lucien Fontenelle and Joshua Pitcher. In early life he married an Indian woman of the Otoe tribe. Major Drips died in 1880 at Kansas City.
John Pierre Cabanné. John Pierre Cabanné, Indian trader, and prominent citizen of St. Louis, was born about 1773. The first brick residence of St. Louis was built by Mr. Cabanné and was known as the Cabanné mansion, on the King's Highway, near the present site of Forest Park. He was engaged in mercantile business in that city for many years. He was one of the commissioners for the bank of Missouri in 1816. A year or two earlier he became identified with the American Fur Company. After 1820 he devoted his attention almost exclusively to the fur trade and made many trips up the Missouri river in its interest. Between 1822 and 1826, he established a post known as Cabanné's Post, about ten miles above the present site of Omaha. He was in charge of this post until 1833. Major Pitcher succeeded him in charge of the which was afterward removed to Bellevue. Mr. Cabanné died in St. Louis in 1841.
Moses Merrill. Moses Merrill, pioneer Indian missionary, was born in Sedgwick county, Maine, in 1803. His father was a soldier in the Revolutionary war and afterward became a minister of the Baptist faith. Moses was given the best education common in his day and for a time taught school in his native state. After being licensed to preach, he offered his services as a missionary to the Indians, but the New York Baptist convention to which the offer was made, did not accept it. For a time he lived in Michigan where he engaged in teaching and in the study of theology. Mr. Merrill married Eliza Wilcox in 1830, and in 1832 was appointed missionary to Sault Ste. Marie. The following spring they were transferred to Missouri, and later went to Bellevue where a mission school was once opened. Mr. Merrill and his wife labored faithfully among the Indians, teaching and preaching until his life was laid down in 1840.
AUTHENTIC EXPLORATIONS. The most important of the early explorations was that of Lewis and Clark. Their expedition had official significance and gave definite information concerning a vast region and lent an impetus towards its further exploration. This eve marks the beginning of definite history of the territory from which was to be carved a number of populous and prosperous states.
William Clark. William Clark was born August 1, 1770, in Kentucky, not far from his later associate, Meriwether Lewis. At fourteen years of age he removed with his parents. to Louisville where, amidst the most humble surroundings, he grew up. He chose a military career and was appointed ensign in the regular army at the age of eighteen; two years later he was made captain of militia. In he was commissioned lieutenant of infantry and later served as adjutant and quartermaster. In 1796 he resigned from the army on account of ill health and returned to his farm in Kentucky.
and Indian agent of Louisiana territory. In this office he became widely known and greatly trusted by both whites and Indians. In 1812 the name of the territory was changed to Missouri, and in 1813 General Clark was appointed by President Madison as governor of the territory, which embraced all of the present state of Nebraska. He was reappointed by Madison in 1816 and 1817, and by Monroe in 1820. He held the office continuously until Missouri was admitted as a state into the Union. In 1822, President Monroe named him as superintendent of Indian affairs, which position he held until his death in St. Louis in 1838.
Meriwether Lewis. Meriwether Lewis was born in 1774 near Charlottesville, Virginia. He came of an illustrious family which had achieved military distinction during the Revolutionary war. His early life was spent on a farm, but at the age of twenty he answered the call of George Washington for volunteers to put down the "whisky rebellion." He later entered the regular service as a lieutenant; still later he was appointed to a captaincy, and finally became paymaster of his regiment, He had served for two years as private secretary to President Jefferson before his appointment to command the expedition through which he became famous. At his suggestion, the president appointed Lieutenant Clark as his associate in the command of the exploring party. In 1807, Captain Lewis was appointed governor of Louisiana with headquarters at St. Louis. He held this office until his death by suicide in 1809. | 2019-04-20T10:26:16 | http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/resources/OLLibrary/MWHNE/mwhne054.htm |
People who have sensory impairment live in a variety of settings according to their wishes and personal needs. These options can range from independent living or homesharing, (where a person shares their house with a volunteer or someone who provides care as a form of rent), through to living in group homes, or living in residential or nursing care homes.
A care home providing residential care for people with sensory impairment will provide personal care for the resident throughout the day and night. This can involve help with washing and dressing, provision of meals and help with eating, and helping a resident get to the toilet. Residential care homes are ideal for a person who needs some support but who has a level of independence and a certain ability to tend to their own needs.
A care home providing nursing care for people with sensory impairment goes one step further with the degree of care provided. It will provide accommodation and personal care but also provides qualified nursing – in fact by law, nursing homes have to have a qualified nurse on duty 24 hours a day. Nursing care homes tend to be more expensive due to the additional cost of nursing care.
Both residential and nursing care homes often provide care for a specific age or type of disability, although it is rare to find care homes that only provide care for people with sensory impairment. Many will have been adapted to meet the needs of the residents, with equipment to aid independence, along with sensory rooms, hearing loops, braille or audio books and newspapers, and specific activities and events. | 2019-04-20T14:38:40 | http://www.yourcarehome.co.uk/blog/care-homes-for-people-with-sensory-impairment/ |

Discussion in 'Deck Help and Strategy' started by helghast101, Feb 13, 2008.
I think this is going to be my casual deck.
Strat: This is a deck idea to beat your opponent with style. The whole idea of this deck is to take out all of your opponent's pokemon with Jolteon *'s power and scooping him up as many times as possible. Digger and Elekid are for back up.
This is a deck idea to beat your opponent with style. The whole idea of this deck is to take out all of your opponent's pokemon with Jolteon *'s power and scooping him up as many times as possible. Digger and Elekid are for back up.
Strat: Get out Joltean* and keep bouncing it reusing its pokepower.... It seems like it'd work pretty good.
I just don't get how you plan to use a Poke-Power that does 10 damage to be your main attack system. Why don't you just play some Venture Bomb (I think that is the name of the card) if you want a similar 10 damage effect.
And some energy might help. Unless you don't want to ever attack that is. And since you play no energy, I suggest playing Pokemon Center.
The deck uses Jolteon*'s pokepower over and over, by bringing it to the hand, and then playing it again, and again, and again. KO'ing all of the opponents pokemon in one swoop.
I am working on these for casual: which should i make?
what should i drop for more Briney's?
which of these 2 should i make?
Well, you might want some Energies in here.
But your average damage output per turn would be about zero to a pathetic ten. I don't think you would ever be able to KO anything. It just doesn't make sensse. And what about the 20% of games where Jolteon* is in the prizes? You have no way of to do any damage at all, so you'll never get a prize unless your opponent is an idiot an makes one of their own Pokemon faint! And are you forgetting that Jolteon* hurts you too?
Thats why Chansey is there. Chansey Active, taking the damage. So when its about to die, Scoop it up too.
And how do you stop it?
maybe lower.. beacuse of ssu..
do u think this deck will work??
see my above post. It does work, and it usually will win before they have a chance to bring out to big of a pokemon, and with all the card draw, it gets those 14 times usually.
Add Azelf (Legends Awakened) in case anything is prized. You could also use some Zapdos (Majestic Dawn).
Now you should have less issues with prizing.
If you're going to be using Chansey as your wall you may as well as Double Colorless energy so you can at least Scrunch while you drop the Jolteon*. Double-edge in a pinch can be great too. | 2019-04-24T17:51:25 | http://pokegym.net/community/index.php?threads/jolteon-unlimited-format.67319/ |
The road between Haverhill and Newmarket is busier than I'd like, but cycling this way I was struck by how pleasant the villages are, and how well-off. The road opens out into a village green lined with majestic horse chestnuts, and the church is just to the east, by the infant River Stour. The unusual shape of the north side of St Peter is a tribute to the wealth and enthusiasms of the Soame family, who we have met a mile or so away at Little Bradley. They lived at Thurlow Hall, and were also responsible for the pretty almshouses up on the top road. In the early 17th century, before the triumph of the puritans, they had a family chapel built on to the north side of the chancel. It was, perhaps, intended to echo the chantry chapels of a century earlier; not, I hasten to add, because they shared a pre-Reformation theology, but because it gave a sense of antiquity to the family name. Given that the wealth of families such as the Soames came from largesse distributed at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, there is a certain irony in this. Other families who had built chantries in the Middle Ages continued to use them after the Reformation for the new beliefs and practices of the Church of England. The two main uses were that they were a place to sit for the ministry of the word, out of sight of the common people, and for burying and memorialising the dead.
Here at Little Thurlow, Sir Stephen Soame and his wife Ann lie beneath one of the grandest memorials in Suffolk. Sir Stephen was Lord Mayor of London, and he died in 1619. His memorial, which Sam Mortlock thought was superb, is also rather extraordinary. While Sir Stephen and lady Ann sleep on in their conventional reclining posture, they are surrounded by nine of their children in various poses and facing in different directions. The boys, although child-size in proportion, sport beards, and one of the girls strokes a skull as if it were a pet cat. Intriguingly, all the faces are slightly different - where they based on the life? Old Father TIme on top waits for his chance.
As large as the Soame memorial is, it does not dominate, because the nave and aisles are filled with one of East Anglia's largest and most imposing ranges of 17th Century furnishings, with big scrollwork poppyheads with flowers and leaves in relief. Mortlock pointed out that they are probably the work of the same carpenter as those not far off at Clare.
There are several modern memorials to members of the Frink family. The south aisle east window is a fine work by Geoffrey Webb, and in the arcade of the north side is a sculpture of St Edmund by that most famous member of the family, Dame Elisabeth Frink, in memory of her father. It appears to be a model for the life-size sculpture which now stands in the cathedral grounds at Bury St Edmunds.
Elsewhere, the church is full of interest. The font is a substantial piece of the 12th Century, an unusual date for Suffolk, and there are some extraordinary corbels in the style of a century or so later, although I think they must be Victorian reproductions, up in the air supporting the nave roof. There is a brass of the late 15th Century in the middle of the nave. There are five hatchments and other Soame memorials, including one signed by John Walsh, that highly-regarded memorial sculptor of the 18th Century. The Ascension in the west window is excellent.
Outside, The narrow churchyard is worth exploring, and is a testament to the wealth of this part of the world in the past. A intriguing detail is an odd little chain which is attached to a tower buttress. I am assured that it was intended for 18th century parishioners to tie their dog to. Above it is the remains of a sun dial.
The area to the north of Haverhill is one I think of as the 'Greats and Littles' - Suffolk doesn't have many pairs of villages which are a Great and Little of the same name, but here along the border with Cambridgeshire there are three pairs, The Bradleys, the Thurlows and the Wrattings, six villages in all and six medieval parish churches. Of the six, Little Thurlow is by far the best village and by far the best church. | 2019-04-23T02:56:29 | http://suffolkchurches.co.uk/thurlowl.htm |
vegan food – Page 26 – vegan in your city.
I love soft pretzels. Those commercially availible SuperPretzels burrowed their way into my heart when I was working at a hospital years ago and the only vegan option was either that, or some lettuce (and I’m not even kidding.) When I went to Denver for the first time in 2006 I realized in one quick sweeping generalization that Americans Love Pretzels. Okay, maybe that’s not entirely accurate, but there was a pretzel cart, store, etc everywhere I went. Some sort of pretzel love I’d never seen before, especially not anywhere in Canada. All subsequent trips to the United States meant more soft pretzels, all over New York City, Arizona, random places in Seattle, Portland. They were there. And they made me happy. Saskatoon is not the place to go if you like commercially available fresh soft pretzels. Maybe I haven’t looked hard enough, but I haven’t seen them anywhere. So following the logical course of action… I baked some… I’m excitedly plotting my dish for the Raw Food Potluck on Wednesday, it’s not going to be anything fancy. My first priority is that it’s tasty and simple. | 2019-04-23T15:13:03 | https://meshell.ca/blog/category/vegan-food/page/26/ |

Two years ago, Barista Box quite literally came from a box filled with brewing equipment. It was Miguel's ways of coping with the fact that there was no good source of coffee in our university campus. He started giving away free cups of coffee to students, and this simple gesture was well received by the community. Eventually, Barista Box grew into a mobile coffee truck service, and has been elevated as one of the country's best places to grab a coffee.
The truck was modeled after the French Citröen H-van. The body was custom-made and was fit into a new chassis, making it fully functional and mobile.
It features a full espresso bar, brewed coffee set-up, seating and tables, and shade from the impreccable Manila heat.
The color of the truck was inspired by the colors of milk and coffee.
The custom emblem showing the Barista Box logo. The "BB" logo came from the original logo of Citröen which consisted of two upward arrows.
Our mobile shop is found inside the Ateneo de Manila University and is completely run by students.
Miscellaneous collaterals for Barista Box includes custom aprons and hats for baristas.
The menu featuring a short selection of espresso-based and brewed coffee items. We focus on serving just the essentials, with the aim of highlighting the taste and nuances of our coffee in every cup. The herringbone texture on the paper is also the same as the fabric on the apron.
Custom dry seal embosser for application on documents.
Custom trays feature cut-outs in the wood, allowing us to secure our glassware perfectly in them. | 2019-04-22T03:15:55 | https://www.behance.net/gallery/25500199/The-Barista-Box |

1. Call to order: Mr. Scharf called the meeting to order at 7:38 p.m.
2. Approval of Minutes: Marcia Levesque made a motion to approve minutes from March 11, 2010 (R) and March 31, 2010 (S), Ernie Perry 2nd the motion, vote taken, 5–0, motion passed.
3. Hearings of Individuals and/or Groups: Gen Ells asked Mr. Scharf if he received the mail that she had sent, asked if he had any comments?
Mr. Scharf had received the mail and had no comments.
Debbie Kuffel had some points she wanted to make after the last meeting, had made some calls and done some research. Wanted to know what they as taxpayers could do to help? Expressed her opinions regarding the development of an advisory team to come up with a superior education while keeping affordable taxes, spoke about the impact of local taxes on taxpayers. Had an overall concern of the town’s involvement in SAU 29. Feels that people should be discussing the direction they want to go with the school; should we remain independent, regionalize with Stoddard/Nelson, go to Surry Charter, go to Goshen/Lempster, tuition students out, make the school a municipal building, go to Fall Mountain. Ms. Kuffel did a cost comparison between schools and looked at salaries for principals and secretaries. Is there a way we can cut down on our secretary position?
Mr. Scharf pointed out that he recuses himself from any votes that may have to do with his wife and her position.
Jacqui Fay questioned the board on how the proposed cut will be applied to the budget? Mr. Scharf said that it will be announced when the new budget takes effect on July 1st.
Discussion ensued on local taxes and those that are affected. Mr. Scharf pointed out that the board members are taxpayers as well and are concerned. They, as a board, are restricted by what they are allowed to do or say.
Mr. Dassau stated that they are elected officials. The public can elect to vote us in or vote us out. They are here to listen, but do have limited time to do so.
Ms. Chase spoke about the lack of raises that local families are getting and stated that it is irking people that the 3% raise has been given to teachers while many are going without. Mr. Scharf stated that the budget was approved with a $60,000 cut; the board will cut the $60,000 no matter what. Ms. Ells stated that it is the principle of the thing; a raise just doesn’t look right at this time. Ms. Ells did share that the board’s time and energy is appreciated.
Mr. Ruehr wanted to share that he put forth the 3% raise and the board adopted it as well. He feels the problem stems from declining enrollment and reduction in state aide. Board wants to work as an arm of the community, feels that there is more common ground between board and taxpayers than people think.
Much discussion ensued on the 3% raise and this being a bone of contention with the taxpayers.
8b. Future of Marlow School Committee: Mr. Scharf said that the meeting is proposed to take place on May 12th at 7:00 p.m. prior to next month’s board meeting. At this time would like to hear from folks whether they want a school in Marlow or not. Would like to hear pros and cons and hear alternate proposals. Ms. Fay asked if this meeting could be posted or advertised separately in an attempt to notify as many people as possible. Mr. Scharf stated that to allow more time they could start the board meeting at 8:00 p.m. The Board instructed Mr. Ruehr to place ad in the Sentinel to advertise the meeting.

Employee Benefits Policy #5016: Mr. Scharf had a letter from staff for the board to review regarding use of personal day language. Would like them to reconsider taking out the use of Friday or Monday.
Discussion ensued on this issue. The Board instructed Mr. Ruehr to relax the language on this and bring back next meeting for a 2nd reading.
There was some discussion around the possibility of inviting a Representative from the State to come and listen to board concerns, maybe combine with Keene and other towns.
Marcia Levesque asked how many special education children are at the middle school and the high school over the past five years. How many of our children go to the special education programs at these schools. Mr. Woolridge will ask Mr. Devoid to research. Ms. Levesque feels that it seems that our children are not being admitted into such programs (i.e. Bridges).

The PoA aims to guide multi-hazards reduction and management of disaster risk in development processes at all levels as well as within and across all sectors in Africa, in line with the Sendai Framework. It seeks to strengthen DRR in Africa and its integration into policies of the African Union, RECs and Member States in line with the Sendai Framework.
Key provisions in the PoA include the establishment of Youth Advisory Board. The foundation of the board is strongly influenced by the Youth Engagement Platform (YEP) to ensure coherence with ISDR globally and the UN department of Economic and Social Affairs (ECOSOC), to by 2020, promote collective and meaningful youth involvement in DRR policy development, implementation, follow up and review. Africa’s population has risen considerably over the last decades; currently estimated at 1.2 billion inhabitants, and 60% of the population are below 35 years. By 2050, Africa’s population is estimated to be 2.4 billion. This implies that more than a billion Africans would be youth by 2050. With increased disaster risks, young people would continue to be disproportionately affected by disasters. In that light, involvement of youth to play an active role in DRR is paramount. The AU Commission will work with children and youth stakeholder groups to establish Youth Advisory Board for Disaster Risk Reduction to enhance meaningful engagement and participation of young people in DRR within the Africa region. The demographic weight of young people is undoubtedly an important asset and their involvement could contribute efficiently to fight the phenomenon. This initiative, inspired by the Sendai Framework Action Plan 2015-2030 in the priority 2 ‘Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk’, is highly relevant. | 2019-04-26T02:43:56 | http://www.riskreductionafrica.org/news/establishment-of-africa-youth-advisory-board-on-disaster-risk-reduction-ayab--drr.html |

We spoke to Martin Cheek, managing director at SmartSearch, about why rising regulation is the biggest issue currently facing brokers and lenders, and how brokers can remain compliant post-GDPR.
FR: Tell us a bit about SmartSearch’s proposition and why having the correct anti-money laundering protections in place is so important.
We have created a multi award-winning product that provides a “one stop shop” for all regulated businesses’ Know Your Customer and Customer Due Diligence requirements. We have data partners in Experian, Equifax, Companies House and Dow Jones and can validate Individuals and Businesses both in the UK and Internationally. SmartSearch is alreadyused by more than 3,000 businesses, and this number is growing by around 50 every month.
The Money Laundering Regulations dictate a risk-based approach which is embraced by SmartSearch, and getting this right is really the key for regulated firms. The SmartSearch platform allows firms to tailor how much validation they take on either an individual or a business. Some firms using electronic verification are also using the platform to validate documents or belt and bracing by combining electronic and documents where the risk is the highest.
Having the right Know Your Customer solutions in place is key to getting the whole process correct, as this is where it all starts. Fully understanding who your customers are and what they do will ultimately enable you to understand what the risks are and then they can be managed accordingly.

Introduction and Aim : Focussed cardiac intensive care is known to produce better outcomes. We have evaluated the benefits of a dedicated Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) in the early postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease.
Methods : Prospectively collected data of 634 consecutive patients who underwent congenital heart surgery from September 2008 to September 2009 were analyzed. Midway through this period a dedicated PCICU was started. The patients who were treated in this new PCICU formed the study group (Group B, n = 318). The patients who were treated in a common postoperative cardiac surgery ICU formed the control group (Group A, n = 316). Early postoperative outcomes between the two groups were compared.
Results : The two groups were comparable with respect to demographic data and intraoperative variables. The duration of mechanical ventilation in the dedicated pediatric cardiac ICU group (32.22 ± 52.02 hours) was lower when compared with the combined adult and pediatric surgery ICU group (42.92 ± 74.24 hours, P= 0.04). There was a shorter duration of ICU stay in the dedicated pediatric cardiac ICU group (2.69 ± 2.9 days vs. 3.43 ± 3.80 days, P = 0.001). The study group also showed a shorter duration of inotropic support and duration of invasive lines. The incidence of blood stream infections was also lower in the dedicated pediatric ICU group (5.03 vs. 9.18%, P = 0.04). A subgroup analysis of neonates and infants <1 year showed that the advantages of a dedicated pediatric intensive care unit were more pronounced in this group of patients.
Conclusions : Establishment of a dedicated pediatric cardiac intensive care unit has shown better outcomes in terms of earlier extubation, de-intensification, and discharge from the ICU. Blood stream infections were also reduced.
Pediatric cardiac intensive care is a rapidly developing speciality that caters to the needs of children with congenital heart disease. With increasing complexity of congenital heart repairs in the current era, dedicated pediatric cardiac intensive care units (PCICU) have become a necessity for the perioperative management of these critically ill children. Dedicated intensive care units (ICU), run by an intensivist, who led a multiprofessional team is known to produce better outcomes. ,,, However, data specific to dedicated cardiac surgical ICUs are relatively few. Focussed pediatric cardiac programs attached to children's hospitals have become a reality in several developed nations. Pediatric cardiac intensive care is still in the evolving phase in many emerging nations, including India. The majority of pediatric cardiac programs in such nations are attached to well-running, adult cardiac surgical intensive care units. Hence, pediatric patients, after congenital heart surgery, are usually treated in a combined adult and pediatric cardiac surgical ICU. In this study we have tried to evaluate the benefits of a newly formed dedicated pediatric cardiac ICU on the early postoperative outcomes of children after congenital heart surgery, in a high volume center in South India.
This prospective observational study included 634 consecutive patients who underwent congenital heart surgery from September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009. There were no exclusions. A dedicated pediatric cardiac ICU was started on March 1, 2009, six months after initiation of the study. The patients who were treated in the newly formed pediatric cardiac ICU formed the study group (Group B, n0 = 318). The patients who were treated in the common postoperative cardiac surgical ICU before the establishment of the new unit formed the control group (Group A, n = 316). The early postoperative outcomes, namely, the duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of ICU stay, duration of inotrope therapy and invasive lines, incidence of blood stream infections, and 30-day mortality, were compared between the two groups of patients.
Common postoperative cardiac surgical ICU (September 1, 2008 to February 29, 2009) The pediatric patients, after congenital heart surgery, were cared for in a common postoperative cardiac surgical ICU. The unit operated without a dedicated pediatric cardiac intensivist. The postoperative care for both adult and pediatric cardiac surgical patients was provided by a 24-hour on-call cardiac anesthesiologist and a cardiac surgeon from a monthly rotating duty roster. A pediatric cardiology resident who also had responsibilities in the emergency department, wards, and cardiac catheterization laboratory provided assistance in the clinical management, when required. Consultants from pediatric cardiac surgery, cardiac anesthesiology, and pediatric cardiology team took independent rounds. Clinical decision-making was on an individual basis and on consultation with senior staff members of the anesthesia and surgical teams, as and when needed. The management of mechanical ventilation and weaning from the ventilator was done by the on-call anesthesiologist, on the advice of senior anesthesiology and surgical consultants. The responsibility for order writing was with the surgical team. Decisions regarding tapering of inotropic supports, removal of invasive lines, and any other invasive procedure in the ICU, were taken on the basis of advice from senior members of the anesthesia and surgical team. Perioperative management of the individual cardiac lesions was according to the standard institutional practices. Decision for discharge from the ICU was made by the admitting surgeon. The nursing team worked in eight-hour shifts and was led by a single charge nurse of the ICU, looking after both adult and pediatric cardiac surgical patients. Nurse patient ratio was 1:1.
The pediatric cardiac surgical patients were cared for in the dedicated pediatric cardiac ICU. A newly trained pediatric cardiac intensivist was appointed as the coordinator of the ICU. The intensivist was committed to the ICU 12 hours/day, six days a week, and was available on phone during the night hours and holidays. The intensivist was free from any responsibility outside the ICU while on service (operating room, cardiac catheterization laboratory, emergency department, etc.). A 24-hour, on-call cardiac anesthesiologist, under the supervision of the intensivist, and a cardiac surgeon also provided primary care to the postoperative patients from a monthly roster. The nurse-patient ratio was 1:1. Fixed multidisciplinary rounds, including by the pediatric cardiac intensivist, cardiac anesthesiologist, pediatric cardiac surgeon, pediatric cardiologist, respiratory therapist, bedside nurse, and the charge nurse of the ICU were conducted every day. A detailed clinical case presentation and discussion was carried out for each patient, at the end of which the plan for the day was formulated for each patient. The physician orders were written by the intensive care team. The enactment of the daily plan was done under the supervision of the intensivist. Protocol-guided weaning from mechanical ventilation, with focus on early extubation, directly supervised by the intensivist was followed. The weaning of inotropes, removal of invasive lines, any invasive procedure in the ICU, and discharge from the ICU was also as per the guidance of the dedicated intensivist. ICU policies and protocols were established based on discussion among senior members of the anesthesia, cardiology, and surgery teams. A monthly morbidity and mortality meeting was also organized on a regular basis.
Data was collected prospectively, using a proforma, at the point of transfer out of each patient from the intensive care unit. Institutional approval for data collection was obtained before the initiation of the study. The preoperative and intraoperative variables collected for each patient included demographic data, admission diagnosis, surgical procedure, use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), CPB time, and the aortic cross clamp (ACC) time. The outcome variables that were analyzed, included the duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of inotrope therapy, duration of invasive lines, incidence of blood stream infections, duration of ICU stay, and 30-day mortality.
Analysis of data was done using the SPSS software version 17 (SPSS Inc). The analysis included frequency distributions, percentages, and calculation of mean, median, and standard deviations. Comparison of groups for categorical variables was done using the chi-square test. Non-parametric data were compared with independent samples, with "t" test and Mann Whitney-U test where appropriate. P values <0.05 were considered to be significant.
Data are presented as mean ± SD (standard deviation) or median and range, as appropriate. The two groups were comparable with respect to demographic data, use of CPB, CPB time, and aortic cross clamp time [Table 1]. The percentage of neonates and children less than one year were also comparable between the two groups. Both groups of patients were operated upon by the same surgical team. There was a significant reduction in the duration of mechanical ventilation in the dedicated pediatric ICU group (Group B, 32.22 ± 52.02 hours) compared to the common postoperative cardiac surgical ICU group (Group A, 42.92 ± 74.24 hours). The duration of ICU stay was also significantly lower in Group B than in Group A (2.69 ± 2.9 days vs. 3.43 ± 3.80 days). The inotropic supports and invasive lines were removed earlier in the dedicated pediatric ICU group [Table 2]. There was a significantly lower incidence of blood stream infections in Group B. Although the mortality in Group B was lower than in the control group, this did not reach statistical significance.
We have also done a subgroup analysis of patients less than one year, as infants and neonates together constitute 50% of our surgical volumes. This subgroup analysis showed a further striking reduction in the duration of ventilation, ICU stay, duration of invasive lines and inotropes, and the incidence of blood stream infections in children less than one year, in the dedicated ICU group [Table 3]. However, these parameters did not reach statistical significance when they were evaluated for the older age group (children more than one year) [Table 4].
It is beyond the scope of this manuscript to elaborate the recommendations for an ideal PCICU. ,, Briefly, based on the available evidence, an ideal pediatric cardiac intensive care unit should be built on a multidisciplinary cohesive team, comprising of pediatric subspecialties of cardiology, cardiac surgery, critical care medicine, cardiac anesthesia, nursing, and respiratory therapy, and can also incorporate pediatric pulmonology, adult cardiology, and occupational and physical therapy. The unit should be specifically organized to provide postoperative care for pediatric heart patients or it should be a pediatric intensive care unit that satisfies the American academy of pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for level I pediatric intensive care units. , The unit should be a physically independent one and should have a physician leadership, in the form of a medical director, to build a cohesive team. The unit should have its own policies and protocols to minimize practice variations and should also have a provision for staff training, research, and quality improvement.
To summarize the key findings of the present study, we found similar patient profiles in both groups. The dedicated PCICU showed better outcomes in terms of shorter extubation time, shorter ICU stay, shorter duration of inotropes and invasive lines, and a reduction in blood stream infections. There was a trend toward lower mortality, although this did not reach statistical significance. A protocolized weaning approach with emphasis on early extubation under the direct supervision of the intensivist may have contributed to the significantly shorter times to extubation in the study cohort. The continuous presence of a skilled intensivist can facilitate the recognition of opportunities for early weaning from inotropic support and de-intensification. Early extubation and de-intensification probably resulted in a significant reduction in the ICU length of stay in the dedicated ICU group. Prolonged residence of invasive lines has been associated with increased risk of blood stream infections. The earlier removal of invasive lines as soon as it is deemed appropriate may have helped to reduce the incidence of blood stream infections in the dedicated ICU group. Although the mortality was lower in the dedicated ICU group, this did not reach statistical significance. We believe that if the study had been followed up for one more year the numbers would have reached significance.
The subgroup analysis based on the age of the patients reveals that the beneficial effects of a dedicated team are far more pronounced for neonates and infants than for the older age group. This becomes more relevant in the present era, where a large number of infants and neonates present for early corrective surgery.
The dedicated ICU employed a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. The daily multidisciplinary rounds formed a platform to integrate the inputs from various members of the care team and formulated a coordinated daily plan for each patient. This approach, together with the continuity of care provided by the constant presence of the intensivist to supervise the day-to-day management of the patient might have contributed to the overall improved performance of the dedicated unit.
A randomized controlled trial was not possible in this investigation. However, the two groups were matched with regard to the demographic characteristics and intraoperative variables. The risk scoring for congenital heart disease of all patients was not done for the common postoperative ICU group (Group A). Hence, a subgroup analysis based on the complexity of the lesions was not feasible. Finally, the cost effectiveness of this model has also not been analyzed.
The establishment of a multidisciplinary cohesive pediatric team led by a dedicated pediatric intensivist in a dedicated PCICU has resulted in better outcomes in terms of shorter extubation time, shorter ICU stay, shorter duration of invasive lines, and lower blood stream infections. The improvement in postoperative outcomes were specifically noted in pediatric patients less than one year of age.
