Here at Applerouth, we know our biggest strength is our wonderful tutors. We’ll be taking you into their world over the next few months, talking to them about their passions, their challenges and their successes.
Our first featured tutor is Shara-Sue Crump, a Full-Time Premium Tutor and Tutor Manager of our Atlanta Preferred Tutors. In her four years at Applerouth, Shara-Sue has worked with hundreds of students, bringing her signature blend of smarts, humor, and encouragement to each and every one. We sat down with Shara-Sue to talk to her about her life as a full-time tutor and manager.
Q: Let’s start at the beginning – what led you to SAT/ACT tutoring?
A: I taught public school for 8 years, so I’d been in field of education for some time before hearing about Applerouth. I’d also tutored a few students specifically in Math, so that part of the SAT/ACT has always appealed to me.
Q: How did you end up at Applerouth?
A: The Assignments Manager is my best friend so he forced me to come in for an interview (just kidding!) and the rest is herstory.
Q: What’s your favorite part of being a tutor?
A: The students are the best part of being a tutor! My favorite part of working with students is to connect with them and provide a very tailored learning experience for them. The sweetest moments are when my encouragement has allowed them to gain confidence so they feel prepared to go forth & conquer the exam.
A: I embrace the challenges that come along with this job. The fun challenges are when a student doesn’t get a concept; I must find a third or fourth way to teach a topic in order to make that ‘lightbulb moment’ happen for a student.
Q: What’s your personal educational philosophy – put another way, how do you see yourself as a tutor? What does that mean to you?
A: Students won’t care about what you know unless they know you care. It’s not completely about learning the content or strategies; often times, it’s navigating emotions, anxiety, confidence, life and tearing down walls in order to rebuild a stronger structure/self. Although I am a “test prep tutor,” I tutor the student FIRST & the content and strategies second.
Q: How would you describe your style of teaching?
A: My teaching style is engaging and energetic! It’s a must that learning is fun, so I have a lot of fun teaching/tutoring which is definitely contagious.
Q: What is a piece of advice you often give your students?
Q: What’s one “win” story that sticks with you? Put another way, what’s a student success story that you come back to as you tutor?
A: Sarah* had a baseline of 15 & ended up with a 26 on the ACT after 20 hours of tutoring. She struggled mainly with confidence as her high school experience had been mostly tumultuous for many reasons. Sarah shared with me that ACT tutoring had completely changed her confidence. She always thought that she could “get by” and/or “get into” college because of her softball skills, but a back injury and subsequent surgery eliminated that option. After tutoring, Sarah felt that she could now not only attend college but also succeed in college because she of her academic confidence! Because Sarah was able to increase her ACT score so dramatically, she applied to more colleges and has gotten accepted into 14 out of 15 and many schools offered scholarships.
I learned a lot from Sarah too, so to say this is a success story would be an understatement!
Q: What are your interests outside of tutoring? Any hobbies or passions?
A: I love to laugh and dance! I like to add color to my life by traveling, but I always enjoy coming home to Atlanta. My nephew has given my life new meaning & it’s a joy to watch him grow. My passion is people, so I am energized by sharing connections with people of all ages & all walks of life. I also recognize the balance of the universe, so I appreciate spending time with myself as well.

The Wheelchair Accessible Bed was created in the summer of 2015 with the purpose of providing easy access to the gardens as well as to create inclusiveness among the learning centers. Despite the name of this planter, it is for the enjoyment of the whole community. The aromatic plants, including lavender, sage, eucalyptus, and more, in this bed introduce a different way to experience the gardens at UIC. | 2019-04-19T02:29:59 | http://heritagegarden.uic.edu/ada-accessible-garden |
Please read the Information section below and then fill out and submit the Funeral Request Form.
The Catholic funeral rite is divided into several parts, each with its own purpose.
The Vigil Service usually takes place during the period of visitation and viewing at the funeral home. It is a time to remember the life of the deceased and to commend him/her to God. In prayer, we ask God to console us in our grief and give us strength to support one another.
The Vigil Service consists of readings from Sacred Scripture and beautiful prayers to assist the deceased and those who mourn their loss. The clergy and your funeral director can assist in planning the service.
If the family wishes to offer a eulogy for their deceased relative, they may do so after the Vigil Service.
The funeral Mass is the central liturgical celebration of the Christian community for the deceased. When a Mass cannot be celebrated, a funeral liturgy outside Mass can be celebrated at the church or in the funeral home.
At the funeral Mass, the Church gathers with the family and friends of the deceased to pray for their loved one and to commend them to our merciful God. The funeral Mass, therefore, is an act of worship, and not merely an expression of grief.
The Rite of Committal follow the funeral Mass. It should normally be celebrated at the place of committal, that is, beside the open grave or place of internment. In committing the body to its resting place, the community expresses the hope that, with all those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, the deceased awaits the glory of the resurrection. The Rite of Committal is an expression of the communion that exists between the Church on earth, in purgatory and in heaven. Questions about the format of the committal service can be answered by the celebrant.
It is proper for a lay person to proclaim the First and Second Readings from Scripture and to announce the intentions of the Prayer of the Faithful (if there is no deacon present). The nature of the word of God usually requires that such persons be practicing Catholics and effective public speakers. Lectors should be given copies of the readings in advance so they can practice their readings.
It is our custom to place a pall, a decorated white cloth, on the casket at the beginning of the funeral Mass as a reminder of the garment given at Baptism, thereby signifying life in Christ. Since the deceased would have been dressed in his or her baptismal garment by his or her parents and godparents, the family may wish to participate in this ritual gesture at the funeral.
It is appropriate to assist the celebrant in choosing texts from Sacred Scripture for the funeral Mass. Normally, four Scripture Readings are chosen: one from the Old Testament, one from the psalms, one from the New Testament – epistles, and one from the Gospels. You may see a listing of all the possible Catholic Funeral Mass Readings.
It is appropriate but not required for members of the family to carry the gifts of bread and wine for the Eucharist.
Music during the funeral allows the community to express convictions and feelings that words alone may not convey. Music has the power to console and uplift the mourners and to strengthen the unity of the assembly in faith and love. The Basilica Director of Music takes great care in selecting and presenting sacred music that creates a spirit of hope in Christ’s victory over death and sin. The Basilica Organist/Director of Music and a Basilica Cantor are provided for the funeral Mass. Family members may wish to discuss musical selections for the funeral Mass with the Director. Due to the sacred nature of the liturgy, only sacred, liturgical music is permitted at the funeral Mass. Please contact the Director of Music directly to discuss any needs you have in regard to music.
A) It should be limited to 3-5 minutes.
B) Only one person may represent the family and friends. Multiple remembrances are not permitted.
C) The pastor may request a written outline of the proposed remembrance remarks, if he deems it appropriate.
It is appropriate to bring floral arrangements from the funeral home to the Basilica for placement in the Sanctuary during the funeral Mass. Please discuss what is appropriate and effective with the Basilica staff.
The Christian faithful are confronted with the mystery of life and death in the presence of the body of one who has died. The body of a deceased Catholic Christian is also the body once washed in Baptism, anointed with the oil of salvation, and fed with the Bread of Life. Thus, the Church’s reverence for the sacredness of the human body grows out of a reverence and concern both natural and supernatural for the human person.
While cremation is now permitted by the Church, it is our recommendation that cremation, when chosen, take place after the funeral rites, so that our acts of prayer and worship in grief may take place in the presence of the body as one final act of love and respect for the deceased. When it is not possible to delay cremation until after the funeral rites are celebrated, the cremated remains of the deceased may be brought to the Church for the funeral Mass provided there is an appropriate plan for their internment. The cremated remains of a body should be treated with the same respect given to the human body from which they came. This includes the use of a worthy vessel to contain the ashes and a respectful manner of internment. | 2019-04-19T07:05:14 | https://www.americasfirstcathedral.org/funerals/ |
Omidyar Network is a philanthropic investment firm started in 2004 by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Since 2004, the firm has invested close to $500 million in both non-profit and for profit ventures, all of which have a stated mission to catalyze social, economic, and political change. We've written about many of the companies that Omidyar has helped start over the years - Ashoka, Mango, Kiva.org, CouchSurfing, and D.light just to name a few.
For the second time this week, I found myself presented with the "Avon model" of product distribution in Africa. This time, Living Goods' founder Chuck Slaughter did the talking. Living Goods mission is "Empowering micro-entrepreneurs to deliver life-saving and life-changing products to the doorsteps of the poor." In a nutshell, this means they're basically a wholesaler for goods that are currently hard to get a hold of in developing countries - and which also have the potential for "high impact" in terms of improving people's lives.
Items such as nutritional supplements, medicines, basic consumer goods, and so called "pro poor" products like cookstoves are among the variety of items Living Goods offers. Interestingly, by being a wholesaler, Living Goods directly creates micro businesses in the form of people who willing to go door to door selling - the so-called "Avon ladies." Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the Living Goods model is almost infinitely scaleable and can be applied to almost any good - thus making life easier for any enterprising company with a live changing product looking for a market. | 2019-04-25T15:55:43 | http://www.triplepundit.com/story/2012/interview-chuck-slaughter-living-goods/65601 |
This week, Georgia Hinchcliffe, daughter of original founders of Hinchcliffe and Barber, invites us to take a sneak peak of her coffee table. ‘After school’ style tea and toast, colouring pencils and old books evoke a real sense of nostalgia, and provide the perfect depiction of Georgia’s childhood memories.
Working from my home in Wiltshire is such a privilege, but this does mean I have to juggle caring for my one-year old and the quotidian life of running our homewares business. Nevertheless, this is a challenge I feel lucky to have. Her favourite little wooden arc animals are scattered all over the house, but look particularly pleasing against my new favourite paint colour Railings by Farrow & Ball. I really appreciate the depth and finish of their paints. I took this photo at about 6pm, my golden time when I like to sit down with a Chamomile or fresh Mint tea (today in our new stoneware Spongeware mug) and a bit of toast. Having tea and toast at this time is pure nostalgia as it reminds me of coming in from school ravenous!
My pantone book is never too far away. My mother (and business partner) has the newer set, but I love these as despite being 20 years old, remind me of the journey Hinchliffe & Barber has been on. It’s reassuring to have coloured pencils around me, course notebooks and lots and biros for scribbles and to-do lists. We also have piles of lifestyle magazine as I can’t quite bring myself to recycle them. Currently, I’m enjoying ‘The Simple Things’ magazine as it’s full of lovely pleasurable features such as cottage gardening and jumping in puddles. I move things around a lot, as what’s visually pleasing to me one day isn’t necessarily ‘right’ another day. However, one book that's never far away is Shaun Usher's compilation of letters - 'Letters of Note'. These fascinating and frank letters by the likes of Louis Armstrong and Raymond Chandler are definitely worth a read. | 2019-04-19T02:16:16 | https://www.arloandjacob.com/table-top-hinchcliffe-and-barber |

This text provides a comprehensive review of the cytology of disease processes of the mediastinum and mediastinal lymph nodes with emphasis in lung and gut nodal cancer staging in specimens obtained by EUS-FNA. This book also reviews the cytology of intramural masses of the gastrointestinal tract using a pattern-based diagnostic approach. The cytomorphology of lesions obtained by EUS-FNA is peculiar by the common presence in the obtained sample of normal luminal gastrointestinal contents, and the cytopathologist should be familiar with this pattern not often seen when the sampling is done by percutaneous approach. Technical considerations pertaining to the operator performing the procedure as well as to the cytopathologist, with emphasis on rapid on-site interpretation are also covered. Most lesions described in the book also have endoscopic US image correlation.
Cytology of the Mediastinum and Gut is a useful and practical guide for cytological interpretation and differential diagnosis of lesions obtained by EUS-FNA of mediastinum and gut. All chapters are written by experts with many years of experience in the field and contain the cytology, immuno-profile, molecular profile, and ultrasound features of the masses described.
Chapter 1 - General Considerations of EUS and EUS-FNA. Chapter 2 - Technical Considerations of EUS and EUS-FNA. Chapter 3 - EUS-FNA of Mediastinal Masses. Chapter 4 - EUS and EUS-FNA in Lung, Esophageal, and Gastrointestinal Tract Nodal Cancer Staging. Chapter 5 - EUS and EUS-FNA of Intramural Masses of the Esophagus, Stomach and Proximal Intestinal Tract.

Flight; the action or process of flying through the air.
Flight is a collection of pieces that explore ideas of the sky, weather, and how these external forces influence our environment and internal realities.
These external forces inspired the artist Ngaio Rue Blackwood to create explorations in watercolour, embroidery, and drawings for her solo exhibition opening at the Franklin Art Centre, Pukekohe on the 9th of July. This exhibition is an accumulation of her past six months of work and will be displayed until the 22nd of July 2016.
She describes having the opportunity to put together this body of work as a really rewarding experience. It has allowed her to play around with ideas that are to be displayed together. The ideas play off each other and always lead to new ideas that have not been formed yet.
Her passion and purpose is to make art that explores, that space in-between our physical world and our inner thoughts.
She is inspired and motivated by the fact that every piece of art that she creates leads to the next. She is constantly surprised by what our minds can conceive and create.
Ngaio has always created ‘art’, but became more serious about being a practicing artist when she went to study interior design in Wellington. She then switched to fine arts in her second year and has pursued exhibition and professional opportunities since then.
Her goals are to win an art award and show, in a dealer gallery. | 2019-04-23T06:44:22 | http://blog.monkey101.nz/flight-the-action-or-process-of-flying-through-the-air/ |
The first sign of a furnace problem is that initial cold day when your furnace turns on and there is no heat. You remember that it worked great the last time it turned on in April, what could have happened over the summer season and fall?
We usually advise calling an expert to repair furnaces for safety and security and peace of mind. However there are some quick fixes you can do on your own even before you call us that might turn your heat back on.
Start by examining your thermostat. The thermostat needs to be toggled to “heat” and “on”. If it is a battery-powered thermostat, change the batteries if you haven’t changed them in the last year. If you have a programmable thermostat, check the day and time is set to be “on” at this time.
Have you inspected the breaker for your furnace to ensure it hasn’t tripped off? You can shut off the breaker and inspect the fuse if the breaker was “on”. You can also toggle the switch on and off to make certain the switch remains in the ON setting. If it doesn’t stay on, you have an electric issue with the circuit.
No or restricted air flow causing no heat might be the result of a clogged furnace air filter. To inspect your New Jersey’s furnace filter, hold it up to the light. If you can not see light coming through, the filter is obstructed and you need to replace the filter. It is a great suggestion to buy 2 filters and change your filter twice a year, once in springtime and once in autumn. Keep in mind that these air filters are crafted for one-way air flow. Ensure the filter is placed the correct direction.
Your furnace’s burners can become clogged up or obstructed and because of this, your burner is contaminated with debris and this ought to be taken care of as soon as possible. A sure indication of burner contamination is if the burner flames are yellow, not continually blue and even. Over the summer season, dirt and soot can develop on the burners and an annual maintenance cleaning is all it requires to keep your burners functioning efficiently.
Many furnaces have electronic ignitions and these can malfunction. A fast repair is to turn the furnace power on and off to reset the ignition. If this doesn’t fix it, it may be an indicator that there is something else causing the pilot light to not work properly. This might be a damaged heating element, and if so, you need to have a certified service professional go over the burner to inspect if it is split or otherwise compromised.
What happens if you discover your furnace isn’t blowing air at all? This can be an issue with the thermostat, blower motor, transformer, control panel or capacitor. At first look, see to it that the blower isn’t obstructed at all. Then, if you have actually inspected the thermostat and it is adjusted properly, a service technician must take a look at the other possible causes listed previously for issues and maybe replacement of that component.
Your furnace has a control called a limit switch. A malfunction with this switch may cause the blower to run constantly, even if your thermostat is set to “auto”. Figuring out if the problem is with the thermostat or limit switch is rather simple. The limit switch is a fail safe type of device: if the furnace becomes too warm, the heating element turns off automatically when it gets a signal from the limit switch. If the blower still runs constantly, yet there is no heat, the high limit switch could be at fault and your heating and cooling technician will replace the switch.
Did you know that your furnace door has a safety switch? The access door is wired to make sure that when the door is open, the furnace can not light and the fan will not switch on. Check your access panel to see to it that it is completely closed if your furnace is not turning on.
If you have a gas or oil furnace, you have a gas or oil supply line that is running to your furnace. This supply line has a shut off valve nearby. You can check to see if in some way over the summer the gas/oil supply line to your furnace was inadvertently turned off. The basic repair for this is to open the gas/oil supply line.
One thing that you don’t want to attempt and fix yourself is a gas leak. If you smell gas from your furnace or anywhere around the furnace, please call a qualified hvac repair company immediately. Your furnace might not be working because of a leak such as this and the very best course of action you can do for the safety and security of your family and your residence is to hire a qualified contractor to repair the leak right now. We can take your call 24/7/365.
Older houses commonly vented furnaces through the roof. Newer high efficiency heating systems have air intake and discharge vents that vent horizontally to the outside via the walls of your home. These vent pipes can end up being blocked with fallen leaves or other junk which can impede their efficiency. If you have safety testing covering these air outlets, make certain that they are not entirely blocked with dirt which is keeping air from entering or leaving the system.
A twice yearly check-up of your furnace and central air system will certainly make sure that the initial cold snap will not leave you stuck inside a cold house come Autumn or a sweltering house on the first 90 plus degree day in the springtime. Normal maintenance is the solution to getting your furnace in good working order to ensure that when you need it, it is ready to provide the performance you require.
For repair work, maintenance and great craftsmanship for your heating system, please call us to look after your furnace issues. We’re here 24/7 and welcome the chance to help you get your furnace functioning properly once more. | 2019-04-18T23:26:42 | http://toptekhvac.com/heating/palisades-park-nj/index.php |

March is here! And spring, for a little while at least (yes, I KNOW it will probably snow again soon, but I don't care about that today)! The small daffodils make me happy, not just because of their cheery yellow, but also because of the photo of my baby son.

A much-awaited meet-up with my dear friend Sab brought us to Papa John's Pizza one late afternoon. Papa John's Pizza has been around since last year and I actually saw a couple of branches in California during my visit last February. In fact, one of my cousins once worked for Papa John's when he was still residing in the US.
Paul and I arrived a few minutes before Sab did and I ordered the Waffle Fries (Php. 90) to ensure that we have something to munch on as there's lots to catch up on the moment Sab arrives. It came piping hot and crunchy. I enjoyed dipping it into their special marinara sauce which gave the fries a totally different taste versus the usual shoestring kind with tomato catsup. Sab, the ever demure friend of mine, carefully pick one piece up after the other as she updated us about her busy life as a hands-on Mommy to our cute flower girl Sophie and our handsome godson Brandon on top of running a growing business with her husband Brian. Amazing huh?!
We decided to share a pizza and pasta dish. Luckily, we all love the no-frills Hawaiian pizza (Php. 420) topped with sweet ham, pineapples and lots of mozzarella cheese. We got a medium sized 12" pizza which was just right for the 3 of us. Expect that you'll have to allot around 15 minutes waiting time for the pizza as we found out that they prepare it upon receiving an order. This ensure the freshness of the crust and ingredients which makes for a delicious pizza!
Sab began raving about the special sauce that comes with the pizza and urged me to try it as soon as it was served on our table. I took a careful bite and instantly my mouth was filled with rich butter and lemon flavor that surprisingly went well with our pizza. While I am pretty much aware of the fat and cholesterol content of this killer sauce, I can't stop dipping my pizza crust into the saucer as it can be pretty addicting. I consumed three slices of pizza and polished off my saucer and even sneaking extra dips into Paul's almost full saucer. Sab and I enjoyed the sauce and I can't help but crave for more whenever I think about it.
Sab and I love pasta and we're both white-sauce pasta fans at that. Much to Paul's delight, we got a tomato-based pasta to try something different that day. Our choice was the Penne Marinara (Php. 190) which is loaded with shrimps, squid and garlic simmered in their special marinara sauce. Yum! I enjoyed the flavorful pasta that was not too tangy at all. Sab made a great decision in choosing the penne over spaghetti noodles as it's more fun munching on penne pasta instead of twirling long spaghetti strands.
I had a lovely time bonding with Sab and Paul while enjoying our pizza and pasta meal at Papa John's Pizza. I loved it so much that I even ordered a box of Fisherman's Catch (Seafood) Pizza to bring home for my family to enjoy. I can't wait to go back and to try more pizza flavors with their delicious butter sauce. Yum!
Papa John's Pizza is located at #53-B Annapolis Street, Greenhills in San Juan City. They also have branches at Robinsons Galleria Veranda, SM Megamall and along Taft Avenue.
I've tried their Pepperoni and Margherita palang - yummy also!
Ay nako we should meet up rin kaya for our food trips? Hahaha!
@krystle: yes i agree we should all get together to do a food trip!!! :) must try the Hawaiian its yummy!!
i knowww kulang lang nga sila sa branches noh?
My mouth is watering now, I swear! I haven't been to Papa John's yet, and I know I'm missing half of my life!
Papa Johns Pizza my fave Pizza shop when I was in California. I love the crust it sooo fresh, not too oily and I like the Garlic sauce. They just recently opened their 5th store in Brickroad Sta.

A set of new studies, many of which draw on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, reveal fascinating details in the emerging picture of how Saturn's moon Titan shifts with the seasons and even throughout the day. The papers, published in the journal Planetary and Space Science in a special issue titled "Titan through Time", show how this largest moon of Saturn is a cousin – though a very peculiar cousin – of Earth.
"As a whole, these papers give us some new pieces in the jigsaw puzzle that is Titan," said Conor Nixon, a Cassini team scientist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., who co-edited the special issue with Ralph Lorenz, a Cassini team scientist based at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md. "They show us in detail how Titan's atmosphere and surface behave like Earth's – with clouds, rainfall, river valleys and lakes. They show us that the seasons change, too, on Titan, although in unexpected ways."
A newly published selection of images, shown at bottom of page, made from data collected by Cassini's visual and infrared mapping spectrometer over five years – shows how the cloud thinned out and retreated as winter turned to spring in the northern hemisphere.
"While the temperature difference – 1.5 kelvins – is smaller than what we're used to on Earth, the finding still shows that Titan's surface behaves in ways familiar to us earthlings," Cottini said. "We now see how the long Titan day (about 16 Earth days) reveals itself through the clouds."
Titan is covered in carbon-bearing material — "it's a giant factory of organic chemicals," according to Ralph Lorenz of Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. "We are carbon-based life, and understanding how far along the chain of complexity towards life that chemistry can go in an environment like Titan will be important in understanding the origins of life throughout the universe."
"One of the things that attracts me about Titan is that it has a lot of the same circulation features as Earth, but done with completely different substances that work atdifferent temperatures,"Pierrehumbert said. On Earth, for example, water forms liquid and is relatively active as a vapor in the atmosphere. But on Titan, water is a rock. "It's not more volatile on Titan than sand is on Earth." | 2019-04-25T21:50:40 | https://dailygalaxy.com/2012/02/seasons-of-saturns-titan-oddly-mirror-earths/ |

There could be many different reasons why you need to reach out to reliable property agents and services. It could be that you have a house or an apartment that you need sold urgently, or that you have commercial premises or a villa in Melbourne that you’d like to lease out. It could also be that you are looking for a house or commercial premises to buy or take on rent. Whatever the case, if you want it done with minimal hassle and you do not want things to drag, you are likely to reach out to a reliable agent who can take you through the whole process.
The first and most obvious medium to get hold of the best of products or services is the web. All you need to do is put your query on the search bar and it will all appear in seconds. If you want your search to be time-saving and more productive, you would want to be very specific with your words. If someone happened to tell you that agents in Wantirna are quite reputed, you would want to use terms like ‘property agents Wantirna’ on your property search website. Being specific saves time and is quite effective, too. You can get straight into business and find what you want instead of sitting before your laptop, beating around the bush.
Property brokers, basically, deal with the entire process of buying/selling or leasing and keep you out of most of the ‘messy parts’ of the process. In fact, you would only get involved where it becomes essential, which of course is a good thing. Property agents would ideally do all that it takes, from advertising to responding to buyers/sellers, which includes phone calls, emails, and showing them around, all the way up to following up, negotiating, and sealing the deal. They have their own style, and their own ways of getting it all done with their combination of skill, knowledge, and expertise.
In case your demands are unusual, and you weren’t quite aware of it because perhaps, it is your first time dealing with such matters and you have absolutely no idea how to get around it, your agent would fill you in with everything you need to know about real estate and give you the right advice. If it becomes impossible to meet your needs exactly how you want it, they would offer you more practical ideas and alternatives that may appeal to you and seem like way better options than yours.
To make things happen fast and more effectively, there is a smaller part that you would play at the beginning, just so that everything goes smoothly from there on. What you’d need to do is corporate with your agent and keeps them thoroughly informed about your preferences, in terms of the type of buyers you are looking for or the minimum/maximum price offer if you are the owner, that is. As a buyer who seeks a property, you would need to tell your agent about your preferences in terms of the type of property you are looking for, your preferred location, your budget, and everything else that concerns you. The clearer you are about your expectations, the easier and faster it gets to find what you need. | 2019-04-19T03:05:03 | https://www.newcastleapartments.net.au/look-agents-brokers/ |
Is your estate plan incomplete without a prenup?
On behalf of Orsbon & Fenninger, LLP posted in blog on Wednesday, March 28, 2018.
You never expected it to happen, but you are on the cusp of your second marriage. This time, you feel like you have found the one, and you are ready to start this new chapter in your life. Entering a second marriage is not something you intend to do with blinders on. If your first marriage ended badly, you may feel it is dangerous to throw caution to the wind.

The passage of the tax reform bill in December 2017 has left some North Carolina residents confused about what it might mean for their estate plans. People may be concerned about charitable giving and the estate tax exemption increase and be unsure of what the changes might mean for them.
On behalf of Orsbon & Fenninger, LLP posted in trusts on Friday, March 16, 2018.
Many North Carolina residents may want to avoid the estate planning mistake of bequeathing their assets directly to their children. Adult children who lack financial maturity could end up squandering direct inheritances.

You signed your will and created a revocable living trust. You established your advance directive plan, including your living will and power of attorney. Most likely, you named your spouse as the primary beneficiary and proxy on these documents as well as on any life insurance, investments or pay-on-death accounts. | 2019-04-25T04:08:19 | https://www.orsbonandfenninger.com/blog/2018/03/ |
When we are not out on the trails with our ATV's, we can often be found using them for other 'house-hold chores', even if that chore is plowing snow, working up the garden, a food plot or anything else. We know that, by all means, the correct tool for doing a large amount of soil tilling work is a tractor, but when doing so on a limited basis and a limited budget, using our ATV is the perfect solution. By simply latching on, our ATV becomes like a mini-tractor and we can toss the visor off our helmet and proudly affix a straw hat to the top of our helmet and work away.
When we got a chance to meet the guys from King Kutter over the winter, we had a chance to check out a couple of the many products that they produce for ATV's that compliment their vast line-up of products for the agricultural world. King Kutter's lineup ranges from different versions of discs, to kultipackers to spreaders, wagons and more. That sit-down conversation turned into the start of an evaluation of their newest ATV disc and kultipacker. The disc that we are testing is a new, 48" version of their original 33" model. Both models utilize 2 rows of coulters on opposing angles and can be raised and lowered via a simple hand crank jack. When in the raised position, the disc is easily transported behind your ATV or maneuvered around your shop on its wheels. When lowered, the wheels will act like a depth guage for how deep you want to till. The disc coulters are scalloped to allow easier penetration into the soil without requiring excessive amounts of weight. Attaching the disc to the ATV is simple and is done via mounting to a 1 7/8" ball using a standard trailer style coupler. The main framework of the disc is made of heavy-duty steel square tubing while the coulter assemblies are bolted onto the frame. One nice item on this unit is that the square, tubular design is also designed to act as a 2" receiver mount so that you can hook up a spreader or kultipacker behind the disc to use at the same time or just to transport multiple items at one time. The hitch of the disc is designed with a turnbuckle for adjustment which allows you to adjust how much down pressure that you will get on the front set of discs vs. the rear set of discs and also to accomodate the infinite amount of different hitch heights out there. Greaseable bearings round out the solid design of this unit and craftmanship of the overall package is top shelf.
need to pull one pin to flip the tongue orientation and then you can roll the unit over and reattach it to your quad. Much like the disc, the kultipacker uses a 1 7/8" ball and trailer-style coupler to connect to your ATV. The actual kultlpacking wheels are a solid steel design that have protrusions (serrated) that allow for seeds to be pressed into the soil deeper and offer better soil packing qualities. All wheels are individual units and mount to a solid axle that is greaseable at each end. The travel wheels are your standard pneumatic tires that offer a smooth ride when transporting the unit to the final location.
Raising and lowering the disc is a breeze and the jack works both smooth and effortlessly. We did find that if you kept cranking up the wheels that eventually, the tire would come into contact with the disc, but this was at a height well above the depth that you should be trying to disc at. One thing that we did not like really had no effect on the functionality of the disc, it was that one rim is offset the opposite of the other. This was done so that tire would miss one of the disc coulters, but just seemed odd because they could just as easily moved the mounting location of the wheel in slightly to accomplish the save effect. Flipping the disc over to get it into 'use position' is just as simple. Because most of the trailer receivers that we have around the office have a 2" ball on them, it would have been more convenient to have the disc and kultipacker in that size, but that's just because of what we have around. The receiver mount in the back of the disc is great for transporting multiple units at once, but we did have to remove a burr out of the tube before use so that we could get the receiver to slide in.
In doing research before testing, we found that many people say that they add weight to their discs in order to get them to work better, but what we found was that the disc actually works as well without weight as it does with weight with the exception of when you are trying to cut thru living sod. A live sod base is the toughest thing for any disc to cut thru, even on farm tractors, we found that if you kill off the plants before—hand, it cuts thru the soil and works much better. From sand to clay and everything in between, the disc worked great. It may take a few passes to get things broken up, but the end product is a nicely tilled soil. One of the greatest benefits is that you can access many places with this disc on your ATV that you could never get to with a tractor, not to mention you get to spend more time on your ATV! The worst that we ran into over the length of the test period is that we bent over a few of the teeth on the disc when hitting rocks. Make sure to clear the area before tilling to avoid this, and if you do, they can be bent back into place easily. After testing, I would like to see the coulter angle be made so that it is adjustable or at least made slightly greater to help turn over the soil better. The draw-back to this would be that it would require more horsepower from your ATV to use which would cut out some of the smaller ATV‘s from being able to use this disc. I believe that the current angle is a good compromise though that works well and doesn't require an obscene amount of horsepower to use. Outside of that, you'll need to go thru and re-tighten all of the nuts and bolts after the first use, much like your ATV after the initial break-in period and you'll need to make sure to keep an eye on your ATV‘s air filter and oil after use because you'll be stirring up quite a bit of dust in the process of working the soil.
After extensive testing, we came away elated with how well the disc and kultipacker both worked and how well they stood up to the durability testing. If cared for and stored inside, these implements will easily out—last your ATV and are great products for when you want to put your ATV to work! | 2019-04-26T08:18:51 | https://www.kingkutter.com/resourcespage.aspx?blogID=90&ekfxmen_noscript=1&ekfxmensel=e9edebdfa_6_77 |
How to get rid of tanning this summer.!
Summer is already here, and it is time to bring out your short dresses and shades to enjoy the summer sun at the park or the beach with family and friends. Despite all the happiness and fun, at the end of the day most of us are left with ugly and unattractive sun tan on face and hands that takes away all the fun from the outing. With the lack of time, most of us, opt for quick fix solutions like a session of bleach or use chemical laden cosmetic products for instant tan removal. But all these products take a serious toll on the delicate skin of the face and show fatal side-effects in the long run.
Therefore, it is best to choose home remedies to remove sun tan that not only heals the damage in a nourishing way, but is the ultimate answer to the question of how to get a clear face naturally.
In extreme cases it can lead to skin cancer.
We are also aware of the benefits of lemon tea for weight loss but it is also a great ingredient for skin. This face pack incorporates the powerful bleaching properties of lemon, tomato and yogurt and in addition to this it is one of the best face packs for improving the skin tone naturally. It works wonders in removing dark spots and pigmentation from sun tanned skin. In addition, tomato juice works as a natural toner to shrink open pores and reduce oiliness of the skin, whereas yogurt helps in moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
This is undoubtedly one of the best home remedies for sun tan that uses the hydrating benefits of aloe vera and the exfoliant quality of masoor dal. Masoor daal helps in clearing even the extreme of tanning. Aloe vera hair mask is also widely used for natural hair treatment. The plant steroids found in aloe vera gel soothes burning, inflammation of the skin and helps in healing sunburn and suntan. Tomatoes rejuvenate the skin and revitalize it from within.
Oatmeal and weight loss are closely related, but it is also a great natural skin exfoliator as well. Also this is a quick and easy fix to remove sun tan if you are pressed for time. Buttermilk helps in soothing and moisturizing skin and healing blisters and oatmeal acts as a natural scrub that exfoliates the skin, removes blackheads and dead cells.
This face pack is an amazing sun tan remover that regenerates new skin cells with its stock of vitamin C. Also Orange is rich in vitamin C that helps fight skin blemishes and improves skin texture and skin tone. Collagen found in orange slows down the process of aging and helps in skin tightening.
Potatoes make mouth-watering snacks indeed, but it has huge benefits for skin too! Furthermore Potato is loaded with vitamins, minerals, protein and fibers. Potatoes are one of the age old remedies for sun tan that uses the goodness of vitamin C to lighten skin tone and add a healthy glow to it. The combination of potato and lemon juice is the best way to remove dark circles.
This yummy combination makes a mouth-watering treat. But these bright red berries have skin lightening properties that help in improving skin complexion, reducing dark spots, pigmentation, and freckles. | 2019-04-25T12:52:32 | http://beautynthefit.com/tanning-tanning-go-away-summer/ |
GASP ITS THE DOT ON FLIPANIM.COM! am i right?
I turned into a wolf?! | 2019-04-20T01:44:27 | http://flipanim.com/profile?name=Asian-Duck |
I woke up this morning to Steve shaking the bed…if he needs to wake me, he does so at a distance for his own protection. I remember thinking, “I can't remember what I'm doing today…what day is it anyway?” A few minutes later after the dots started to connect, my phone calendar alarmed reminding me about my date with chemo and ivig.
I wish I was still in bed. I was completely comfortable. I hit the pillow around 11:30 last night and Steve let me sleep until 7:30 this morning! I can't remember the last time I've slept more than 5 hours straight! Between pain from CIDP, work, the kids and now sickness from treatment I don't exactly sleep through the night. Since August, I've discovered that if I stay up later…even until 2am, I can get 5 hours of continued sleep. If I try any earlier, it never seems to work out.
Treatment has started well today because they left the IV in from yesterday. It was pretty much plug in and roll. They are trying to administer both the chemo and ivig together…two bags connected to one IV tube…I've never seen this before. It makes me even more unique here…I've already had a guy ask me, “So, whatcha got in your bags?” I enjoy my conversations here because I don't have to explain myself…the people here get it. Its better to be bald amongst others the same way. Someone even pointed out that I still have my eyebrows…not for long I bet!!
All in all I'm doing pretty good. It's still an out of body experience. You go through the motions and think, “Am I really here getting…chemo?” Then you think, “Is this really going to work or am I going through all of this for nothing?” When my mind starts rolling, it can either be my greatest support or lead me down a path that goes nowhere.
I'm so tired of being strong. I hate it when people think I'm doing this by myself. No way…God is getting me through this. My family is getting me through this. My church family is getting me and my family through this. IM NOT STRONG!!! Yet, in our weakest points if we choose to let God shine through, people out there think we are strong. I hope others will see what is really going on here eventually.
Remain in Me, and I will remain in you…for apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:4-5).
You've read the passage before, but did you ever think about it in your tough times? In these passages, Jesus points out that we can tell those that remain in Him by the fruit in their lives…fruit that is produced regardless of the circumstances. That means, God can use you in your times of praise and times of need. God can use you when you have everything figured out and when you don't feel God close. God can use you while you are jogging or while your playing on your iPad during a chemo treatment.
God never stops believing in us…why should we ever stop allowing ourselves to be used by Him?
F your constant Source. You can never get this day back, so go make God look good…no matter where you are in life…our God has overcome this world, let Him overcome you today.
I'll update later with a song I've been thinking about yesterday and today…it goes along with this post…any guesses? | 2019-04-22T08:59:44 | https://www.stepoutandthrive.com/strong-enough/ |
Did you ever notice anything peculiar about all of Charles and Diana's official photos?
Thanks to journalist and sociologist Philip N. Cohen, an obvious fact about Charles and Diana has come to light. When we look at all the official pictures, stamps, etc. of the couple, Charles looks inches taller, but this was not the case. In fact Charles was no taller than Diana, they were both the same height, 5ft 10".
Their shared height is common knowledge, and a quick Google search will confirm this. However, whatever the issues with Charles' height, it did nothing to stem Harry and William's growth, with William at 6ft 3" set to become the tallest monarch ever.
Share this curious fact with your friends. | 2019-04-23T09:16:58 | https://likemag.com/en/ever-notice-anything-peculiar-charles-dianas-official-photos/697602 |
Leadoff hitter Ricky Akles set the table for the Roadrunners, going 3 for 4 at the plate while scoring three runs with a RBI. He scored on a bases-loaded, fielder's choice in the top of the first inning for the first run of the ball game. Moments later, Jimmy Portillo came in to score on a passed ball to give Rio Hondo an early 2-0 lead.
The Roadrunners loaded the bases again in the third inning, but only managed to score one run on a double play.
Up 3-0, Citrus rallied to tie up the contest with a three-run, third-inning. The Owls took advantage of a two-out error to extend the frame, allowing three unearned runs to score off Rio Hondo starting pitcher R.J. Van Kampen.
Van Kampen recovered and limited the damage. He went on to toss six innings, allowing no earned runs and five hits for his first win of the season. Van Kampen struck out six and walked two.
The Roadrunners went ahead for good in the fifth thanks to a RBI single off the bat of Jorge Centeno that scored Jordan Salgado. Christian Tinnin smacked a RBI double in the eighth, Akles added a RBI single in the ninth, and Portillo closed out the scoring with single that drove in Akles.
Jesus Maldonado also had a big game at the plate, going 3 for 4 with a pair of walks and a run scored.
Nick Juarez earned his first save of the season, closing out the win with three scoreless innings. He gave up one hit and struck out three.
Weather permitting, Rio Hondo (3-0) returns to non-conference action on Saturday (Feb. 2) with a 12 p.m. game at Victor Valley College. | 2019-04-24T04:00:28 | http://athletics.riohondo.edu/sports/bsb/2018-19/releases/20190201zbvui3 |
Why is Christmas pagan and what is an alternative tradition to Christmas one can do instead? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.
Why is Christmas pagan and what is an alternative tradition to Christmas one can do instead?
Paganism is merely a religion other than one of the main world religions. In other words, the only thing that distinguishes paganism from Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Shintoism, or Judaism is the number of people that have signed up for the newsletter. It isn’t something to fear and it is bigotry to act like it is.
Christmas is a holiday that has evolved due the passage of time and the influence of various cultures as Christmas has entered their lives. Each of those cultures has enriched the holiday, giving us more traditions with which to celebrate it.
If we traveled to the ancient world, we would find some kind of celebration at that time, in many places, each at first independent of the others. For the ancient Romans, that holiday was called Saturnalia, named for the god Saturn. Saturnalia was celebrated by feasts, the giving of gifts, and a brief sense of equality through role-reversal as the masters tended to the servants. The ancient historian, Livy, tells us that Saturnalia began in 497 BC. Modern historians believe it probably started earlier than that. So, at least half a millennia after the origin of Saturnalia, Jesus Christ was born. His birth was not initially a holiday, because birthdays were not then celebrated in Jewish culture. It would be a few centuries until early church leaders decided it was a day to put on the calendar and commemorate. It would also be a few centuries until they decided to pick a day for that celebration, because the gospels do not tell us on what day he was born.
On December 25th, 274 AD, the Emperor Aurelian consecrated the temple of Sol Invictus, creating a holiday called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti – the birthday of the Sun – officially elevating the Sun to the highest position among the gods – nudging a steering current towards monotheism.
Shepherds watch their flock by night during lambing season, which is the spring. But there’s no rule that says a day of celebration has to coincide with the actual date of origin. In Britain, we celebrate the Queen’s birthday on June 9th instead of her actual birthday of April 21st, because April showers bring May flowers.
So, in Rome in the fourth century, there were three big holidays being celebrated on December 25th – Saturnalia, Dies Natalis Sol Invictus, and the Dies Natalis of the Christ. It’s only natural that elements from these celebrations would cross-pollinate each other, especially when they fit so well – for example, the gift giving of Saturnalia could be adopted by Christians as symbolic of their God giving his only son to them as a gift on that day.
As Rome faded and Christianity grew, the people that celebrated those holidays would take their traditions to new areas. As those early Christians moved into Northern Europe and introduced Christmas to the native Germanic peoples, the practices of Christmas were influenced by the practices of those peoples for their winter solstice holidays. Over time, traditions like the Yule log, mistletoe, tree decorating, and evergreen wreaths were absorbed and became thought of as Christmas traditions. The Saxons, the Vikings, the Victorians, and the capitalists have all added traditions to the rich tapestry of the holiday we all call Christmas.
There’s nothing to be feared from those traditions. They are additive, not dilutive. Pagan contributions are not something to fear. Heck, today is Wednesday, for English speakers and Miercoles for Spanish speakers. Where do you think those names come from? Wednesday comes from the pagan Germanic god Woden and Miercoles comes from the pagan god Mercury. We are no more corrupted by having a “pagan” Christmas tree in our house than we are by having a calendar that says Wednesday or Miercoles on it.

Police reports handed to a law firm state that a Suwannee county man was killed as a result of a car accident. Only one car was involved in the accident and it was caused because he lost control of his vehicle.
The accident happened on Thursday night according to the report. The man died before emergency services were able to respond and was declared dead at the scene when first aiders did arrive.
The driver who died was a 39 year old man. When emergency services attended the scene they declared him dead as a result of the injuries sustained in the crash which happened at 9:30 PM. The crash happened on County Road 137.
Police say it is fortunate that no more vehicles were involved in the accident. If any more vehicles were involved then it could have been much more serious. Although one person lost his life, many more could have been put in danger if it had happened at a busier time of the day.
The driver was traveling northbound in a Chrysler Sebring. He was traveling through the area just after a heavy storm had caused the roads to become very wet and slippery. This meant that as he drove round a bend he lost control and the car span off. The car went over the pavement and then flipped twice. The car was thrown into a large tree and the driver was thrown from the vehicle because he was not wearing a seat belt.
It is also fortunate that nobody was walking on the pavement at the time, indicates a source. If there were people on the foot path then they could have been seriously injured too. When he was thrown from the vehicle the car then landed on top of him. This left him with injuries which killed him soon after the incident and before the emergency services could arrive. Authorities in Staten Island and Westchester are on the prowl for these accidents.
The police department’s crash investigators are still investigating the case. They are trying to determine whether or not the driver was intoxicated while behind the wheel. The current evidence does not confirm this, although police do suspect that both alcohol and the weather had a role to play in the accident.
Anyone who is involved in a traffic accident which wasn’t their fault may be able to sue the other driver. Many of these claims are complex and difficult to pursue, which is why a New York Car Accident Law Firm can be a great help.

Pat Flaherty had his second RBI single in as many innings in the top of the second, but the Pioneers cut the Keuka lead in half with three runs in the bottom of the frame.
Nick Brown delivered a two-run single in the fourth inning and Jimmy Griffin added to the lead as Keuka led 9-3 following Griffin's sacrifice fly in the fifth.
However, Alfred State would come back with three runs in the bottom of the fifth and five in the sixth to take an 11-9 lead over the Wolves.

Planning events successfully is never easy, that is why every event planner needs a solid game plan. We have compiled a list of 5 essentials for your corporate event planning. Keep these tips in mind while planning your next event and be fully prepared. Be sure that you consider all your event variables and get your team on the same page to rock your upcoming events!
Probably the most important thing you need to know before you begin planning your event is fully understanding what your event objective is. How can you clearly define your event objective?
– WHO will attend your event? Who will organise your event? Answering these questions and knowing how many people you expect to attend will determine a majority of your decision making.
– WHAT is your event about and what have you named your event? It is vital to keep the theme of your event in mind at all times during your planning process.
– HOW do you intend to market your event and get the word ‘out there’? Herein lies the value of a thorough budget – think hard and critically about your event budget needs.
– WHEN will your event be held? It is important to keep your target audience in mind and find out which date and time is most convenient for them – especially since almost 40% of people do not show up to confirmed events.
– WHY (this is your event objective right here) is your event even taking place? This is your event purpose and should always be kept in mind while planning.
Sure, we all know that you need to plan your time and money to get something done, but exactly what goes into planning your time and budget?
We all use checklists while planning our events, but I feel that there are 3 important ideas to keep in mind when choosing or creating your event checklist – after all, an organised planner is a happy planner!
– USE a tool to manage your to-do’s and monitor your planning progress, try out a free online tool like TaskCheck to do this.
While planning for the worst is never the most encouraging thing to do – it is always better to be prepared for the worst while striving for your best event! This is especially true since, try as we might, we cannot always predict everything and at times unforeseen circumstances might show their ugly heads.
To then avoid the panic at the sight of potential disaster, plan ahead on event elements you see as important. Examples of these might be AV equipment or catering. Arguably, these are two of the most important elements to any event – they keep your attendees happy! After all, you don’t want to be stuck without a projector or have an oven break down without any alternative means to entertain or feed your guests.
5. Communicate, communicate and communicate!
The most effective event planners are good communicators. When planning events we are not only continuously communicating with our team, but we also need to communicate with our (potential) suppliers as well. I must say, though, that communication skills here do not refer to micromanaging (no one likes that) but bear in mind that as the leader of your event planning team you hold the responsibility for the success or failure of your event. After all, event planners are hired because they are valued for their attention to detail. Without communicating these details with your team and ensuring that everything is monitored, it is possible that small mistakes or poor communication could result in potential failure.
In a nutshell, plan for the worst and aim for the best, remember to think ahead and finally, do not forget that there’s no ‘I’ in team – keep your team in the loop, work together and communicate to get that event planned! | 2019-04-24T17:46:53 | https://www.azavista.com/5-essentials-corporate-event-planning/ |

While specific incidents involving police violence – from the killing of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO, to the death of Eric Garner on Staten Island – have been highlighted in protests all over the country since the summer, some commentators have attempted to contextualize the unrest. They detail what many describe as the daily injustices, especially in black communities, suffered by residents in their routine interactions with the police.
It is these daily interactions that create the foundational distrust that has exploded into a national phenomenon this year, activist Opal Tometi explained.
Yet, the police do not act independently but within a wider framework attentive to social order and, in many places, the maintenance of the status quo.
In New York City, local policing reforms have focused on departmental policies and tactics, but less attention has been paid to the bedrock of the NYPD's authority, the laws that officers, as agents of the state, have been empowered to enforce.
In New York City alone, there are nearly 10,000 laws, violations, rules, and codes that a person might break, and the NYPD initiates approximately 1 million punitive interactions with residents every year. Almost none of these interactions have anything to do with serious crime. About half result in summonses. Of arrests, just 25 percent are related to felonies. Between 2001 and 2013 there were nearly 7 million summonses issued in New York City, compared to 5 million 'stop-and-frisks' during the same period. In 2014, tickets for jaywalking were up about 275 percent.
It hasn't always been this way. A concerted effort was made by city lawmakers in the 1990s to expand the authority of the NYPD to include enforcement for behaviors that had not previously been considered crimes. This shift provided legal justification for the routine intrusions that some, like Tometi, have pointed to as provocation for the apparent decline in legitimacy felt towards the police in specific neighborhoods around the New York City.
While the police have borne the brunt of recent protests targeting criminalization and brutality, lawmakers have generally been left off the hook, despite their crucial role in determining which behaviors are considered "criminal" and which are not. The City Council - not the police - has the power to roll back some of these laws, providing them with perhaps the largest lever to push in fundamentally changing the relationship between the police and residents. The Council also provides oversight for the NYPD and controls, with the Mayor, the agency's budget.
In the 1970s and 1980s, law enforcement resources were focused on serious crimes. As order-maintenance policing became en vogue in academic circles, and was adopted by NYPD Commissioner William Bratton and Mayor Rudy Giuliani here in New York, the size of the police force was expanded and the emphasis shifted from policing serious crimes to the enforcement of low-level penal code violations and infractions of the City's administrative codes. Above all, Bratton wanted an increase in the number of interactions between the police and the public.
For the police to stop people constitutionally, however, they needed justification. In addition to beefing up enforcement on existing low-level laws, a strategic effort was made by the City Council and Giuliani, at the NYPD's urging, to create new laws explicitly for this purpose. Thus "aggressive panhandling" entered the realm of criminal conduct. At the time some council members balked, claiming the new laws and codes were "repressive," that the NYPD should not have increased authority to control particular behaviors, but today, it's the new normal.
In the early 1990s, along with a huge rise in misdemeanor arrests (recently detailed in a John Jay College report) there was a concomitant rise in summonses, which refer to behaviors, typically, that do not rise to the level of criminality. The number of summonses issued by the NYPD exploded, jumping from 150,000 in 1993, to nearly 500,000 just five years later. Of the seven most common summons infractions, which make up about half of all summonses in New York City, only two are actually penal code violations - that is those laws dictated by the State of New York. The others are violations of administrative code, health code, parks rules, and traffic law - generally local rules dictated by City Council. Open liquor container citations - an administrative code violation - were, in 2013, the top summons offense in the city. At least one judge has suggested that the police are enforcing this rule in a racially discriminatory way.
In the beginning, state lawmakers pushed back against this effort by the City Council, Bratton, and Giuliani to criminalize what had previously been legal behavior (in some cases de facto), in large part because they were concerned about the costs associated with adjudicating these new criminal cases – almost all of them violations and misdemeanors – in court. And so, in 1995 the State enacted a law that removed from criminal court jurisdiction all non-misdemeanor offenses charged under the Administrative Code. This would have made infractions, such as open container and public urination, into civil penalties, akin to a traffic ticket to be adjudicated in administrative, rather than criminal proceedings. Giuliani viewed the state law as "potentially devastating" because it divested the City of certain law enforcement authority.
At the behest of Giuliani, the City Council responded to the state bill with its own legislation to retain jurisdiction over violations. This allowed the police to continue the practice of using infractions as justifications to stop, question, detain, search, warrant check, and identify people who were suspected of breaking minor rules. This cemented the heyday of so-called "broken windows policing" - which Bratton, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and others credit for leading to the city's precipitous drop in violent crimes, although this assertion is contested.
In one manifestation of the approach, marijuana enforcement was increased as a way to control public gatherings of youth – not necessarily to curb marijuana use. "The police were not really interested in the possession of marijuana but instead used marijuana arrests to try to discover people with felony warrants outstanding against them," Criminologist Frank Zimring explained.
One result of Bratton's new strategy was a dramatic increase in the number of defendants in criminal court with no prior criminal court experience – and the population of people marked with a criminal record began to grow swiftly. As did distrust of police. People with criminal records or open and unresolved cases are left vulnerable to heightened enforcement should they come into contact with police at a later date.
Over forty certified city agencies – from the Human Resources Administration to the Sanitation Department – have the legal authority to issue summonses, yet the vast, vast majority are written by the NYPD. In 2013 there were 458,095 summons issued citywide, down from 510,270 the year before and from a peak of 648,638 in 2005. As of late 2014 the city was on pace to see the decline continue, a trend perhaps welcomed by the communities most heavily impacted by summons practices – the same communities targeted by stop-and-frisk, vertical patrols, and Operation Impact.
As the data shows, it is specific neighborhoods targeted for this type of policing. For example, there were roughly the same number of summonses issued in the single Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook as issued in the entire borough of Staten Island in 2012; the jurisdiction of the Red Hook court covers approximately 200,000 people - less than half the population of Staten Island.
Also targeted are specific demographic groups. While only 17 percent of dogs in the city are licensed, according to an estimate by the Health Department, 91 percent of people ticketed for the offense of having an unlicensed dog are either Black or Latino. Black residents are especially likely to be stopped by police when they are moving through a mostly white neighborhood, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union. Police argue they simply go where the crime is.
Broken Windows policing in New York City has been operationalized to mean the aggressive enforcement of minor crimes and violations in specific, targeted neighborhoods, and, as the NYCLU analysis suggests, against specific demographics of people; whether or not any of this has had any impact on crime reduction in New York remains unproven.
There is no empirical evidence to support the idea that aggressively enforcing so-called "quality of life offenses" through police actions has had a positive impact on public safety. These behavioral offenses, some of which are technically crimes, and others, like riding a bike on the sidewalk, which are violations, have come to include actually legal actions such as playing music on the subway platform or falling asleep on the train, for which people are now receiving criminal summonses.
Some academics have argued that the social costs of these enforcements, which might lead to job loss, housing eviction, or loss of parental rights, outweigh the benefits.
Meanwhile arresting and incarcerating, for example, a homeless person who cannot afford bail, costs the city at least $600 per day simply for housing at Rikers Island, which does not include the law enforcement or court administration costs; financially there is not a more expensive option to manage this quality of life concern.
Bratton and de Blasio have been vocal supporters of this type of policing, generally, while acknowledging the necessity of reforming the manner in which police interact with the public and suggesting that there should be off-ramps for people who have already been arrested to avoid spending time in jail for minor crimes. Arrests in 2014, both the gross numbers and the volume of misdemeanor cases, virtually mirror those of 2013 - the final year of the previous administration.
These policies have already scarred a generation of New Yorkers with criminal records and seem to have played a starring role in inspiring the profound distrust of the police felt in certain communities in New York. This distrust has turned to widespread civil unrest in the wake of the death of Eric Garner, who was accosted by six police officers soon after breaking up a fight. It doesn't seem from the evidence we have that Garner, accused of selling "loosies" – a tax violation – was breaking any laws when he was stopped by the police that day. He did not have any illegal cigarettes on him at the time of his death and was never charged with a crime.
Yet, the broken windows policies implemented by the City Council empowered the police to attempt to take him into custody. The law Garner was accused of violating, roughly speaking, is a similar type of offense as being paid off the books to babysit.
In December, New York City Council members joined the protests against police brutality, staging a "die-in" on the steps of City Hall, chanting "I Can't Breathe" and "I am Eric Garner" to honor the Staten Island man. Even as the City Council decried the results of the overreach of police influence, the body, led by Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, has sought to add 1,000 new cops to the force. While these additions would ostensibly be given the additional training and oversight aimed at improving the quality of police-resident interactions, (new training chief Michael Julian is working with officers to get them to swear less frequently) the Council could also consider using its legislative authority to reduce the quantity of police-resident interactions.
While a small number of members have raised concerns about broken windows policing specifically, the Council as a whole has remained mostly silent on the unlimited role of the police in initiating the interactions with residents of the City that invariably lead to summonses, arrests, and incidents of brutality. The Council did announce a plan to open CCRB outposts in the district offices of participating council members, but it is unclear how many members will participate and when, or if, that initiative will get off the ground.
The police reform legislation currently before the Council, such as the Right to Know Act, which has wide support among council members but is opposed by Bratton and de Blasio, focuses on the content of police interactions rather than the number.
There has yet to be a legislative proposal for the Council to invoke its authority to limit the role of the police by carving out certain quality of life offenses from their jurisdiction or mandating civil enforcement where the NYPD has that discretion. Fare evasion can lead to either a civil summons or an arrest - there were 24,747 such arrests in 2013 and 89,128 summonses. Black residents were most likely to be arrested, rather than given a summons.
Ironically, the NYPD, in apparent protest following the death of two on-duty officers last month has stopped enforcing many quality of life violations. While the sample size remains too small thus far to provide much statistical evidence either for or against a reduced role for law enforcement, it does provide an opportunity for the City to consider ways of addressing community concerns besides the knee-jerk response for more police.
According to former cop and current John Jay professor Eugene O'Donnell, rank-and-file officers would welcome a reduction in their responsibilities to enforce quality of life concerns. "The root of this is that loose cigarette enforcement is a lunatic mission that no cop ever joined the NYPD to be part of," O'Donnell recently said.

Social media had become a game changer. 15 years ago if you wanted to promote your craft business your options were things like; advertise in craft publications, attend craft fairs and give out business cards perhaps even have a radio ad. Now with platforms such as Facebook and Twitter it has never been easier to put your products in front of potential customers.
Facebook cottoned on to this and now provides the "boost" feature. For a modest fee you can have your ads placed right in front of potential buyers that fit in to the criteria that you have set.
But do you know the one thing better than cheap publicity? Free publicity!
The number of people that see your business is described as your "reach". The more people see your posts and share them, the more your reach will increase.
So whats the best way to do this?
Here are 5 ways that you can increase your reach on Facebook without spending a penny.
1. Share content onto relevant groups.
Only sharing content on your own page is just preaching to the converted. You may get a couple of shares from people who already "like" your page, but your going to be waiting a long time to see your reach increase that way.
Start sharing your content with Facebook groups that would find it interesting.
2. Encourage interaction by asking questions.
If you put an interesting post on your page, someone may "like" it but that would probably be the end of it.
If instead your asked a question, then someone may leave a comment answering it. Facebook ranks post with comments higher than that of those with just likes. Comments also work by "bumping" posts up to the top of the news feed meaning they are more likely to get seen.
Shareable content is something that the reader would think that other people would find interesting.
This is a prime example of "shareable" content, because nearly everyone will know someone with their name on that list who will inevitably "tag" them and share the post.
By creating content that the readers friends and family will find interesting, you are encouraging them to press the "share" button.
There's a time and a place for Hashtags, and Facebook isn't it. Facebook just doesn't like hashtags. If you can't bear to leave those scratches alone then use them very sparingly.
This info-graphic from Surepayroll demonstrates how using too many hashtags on Facebook can do your post more harm than good.
5. Don't be all about business.
If all you ever do is bombard people with images of the same woolly hat you have made in 20 different colours, your page will be getting "unliked" faster than you can blink. Keep the content fresh and engaging. Direct sales and marketing posts should only be making up about 50% of the content that you share.
What are your customers other interests? If you make customised wool gloves then why don't you share that article you just saw about us being in for the coldest winter on record? If you sell bath bombs, then write a post asking people when was the last time they had a proper soaking session in the bath? Keep all content topical, relevant and consistent with your brand image.
I hope you find these tips useful. If you have any other queries as to how you can improve your Facebook business page then please get in touch, we love hearing from you!

Following the results of a historic runoff election, Chicago has officially elected Lori Lightfoot as its new mayor. Lightfoot handily defeated her opponent, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, with 74% of the vote to become the city's first ever Black lesbian mayor.
A former federal prosecutor, Lightfoot served as the president of the Chicago Police Board, heading up the department's Office of Professional Standards and the city's Police Accountability Task Force created following the fallout from the fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald. Lightfoot ran on a campaign aimed at helping low-income residents, through police reform and ridding the city of corruption.
Serving the nation's third-largest city, Chicago's political system has notoriously been plagued by rampant corruption. Public opinion of outgoing mayor, and former Obama Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel had steadily soured with many regarding him as yet another part of the city's Democratic machine. Emanuel was widely criticized for his handling of the McDonald shooting and faced calls for resignation amid protests and internal investigations. Having previously never held an elected office, Lightfoot's positioning as a progressive outsider appealed to voters, especially stacked up against Preckwinkle who had been caught up in an alleged extortion scandal earlier this year.
Even before all of the ballots had been counted, the election promised to be a historic one with a crowded field of 14 candidates all vying for the top office, some with celebrity endorsements from the likes of Chance the Rapper and others coming from a family that held a 40-year mayoral dynasty. After the dust had settled last month, Lightfoot and Preckwinkle were the two left standing, with both in position to become the city's first Black female mayor. Lightfoot's victory means she will also be Chicago's first openly LGBTQ+ mayor.
"Out there tonight a lot of little girls and boys are watching," Lightfoot said at her campaign celebration last night. "They're watching us. And they're seeing the beginning of something, well, a little bit different. They're seeing a city reborn. A city where it doesn't matter what color you are, where it doesn't matter who you love, just as long as you love with all your heart."
The city also saw a massive shift in the makeup of its aldermen with a number of incumbents being unseated last night, resulting in the fewest number of white politicians in the legislative body since it was introduced in the 1920s. | 2019-04-19T18:24:42 | http://www.papermag.com/chicago-mayor-lori-lightfoot-2633577904.html |

Oxford High School Principal Mike Martin said the first thing his 1,000 students noticed about the new high school they occupied early this year in Oxford, Miss., was the size of the classrooms and hallways.
What may not be as obvious to the Oxford High students are upgrades to the school’s heating, air conditioning, lighting and building management systems that are expected to save the school district more than $6 million over the next 15 years through energy savings and reduced operational costs.
Those savings became vital to the district’s plans to fund an integrated technology environment that included additional learning tools and security systems — all improving the safety, productivity and comfort of students, faculty and staff.
Oxford School District Superintendent Brian Harvey says energy efficiency was an important component of the school plan as far back as five years ago when early facility designing began.
Bigger And Better. Oxford High School, the 1,000-student, new high school in Oxford, Miss., is three times the size of the facility it replaces, but so much more efficient that it is expected to save the district more than $6 million over the next 15 years through energy savings and reduced operational costs. Those savings allowed the district to fund an integrated technology environment that includes additional learning tools and security systems, which has improved the safety, productivity and comfort of students, faculty and staff. The school is on track to become the first Mississippi high school to be LEED-Silver Certified.
While the vision for an energy-efficient school may have originated from the school district, its implementation came about through a partnership between Eley Guild Hardy Architects, Yates Construction and Johnson Controls.
Johnson Controls converged the many disparate building systems into a single networking solution to lower the district’s initial construction costs and decrease long-term operational and utility expenses. The single network also saved critical district resources by eliminating the need to manage multiple, duplicate or discrete systems under various vendors, contracts and proprietary protocols.
Martin says his faculty and staff are impressed by the environmental systems’ ability to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the entire two-story, 220,000-square-foot facility. He says he frequently heard complaints of being either too hot or too cold in the previous high school building.
The new school’s lighting system includes motion sensors in each classroom and office. When a person walks into a dark room the lights turn on.
The design of the modular central energy plant that powers the school also helped keep construction costs below average and will keep ongoing maintenance costs to a minimum.
Oxford High is also on track to become the first Mississippi high school to be LEED silver certified. The building’s environmental systems meet LEED requirements for acoustic performance in core-learning spaces, such as classrooms, the media center, gymnasium and cafeteria.
Compared to the previous school building, the anticipated energy reduction at the new Oxford High would annually power 200 homes. Its reduced greenhouse gas emissions will be equivalent to the carbon withdrawn by 537 acres of pine forest.
“The new Oxford High School is a role model for sustainability,” says Superintendent Harvey.
The school was still in design and construction phases in December 2012 when district administrators were shaken by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. They made a request for an access control system that was not part of the original budget. The request left the architectural, construction and building systems teams scrambling, according to Tim Prewitt, the self-described “clerk of the works” for Eley Guild Hardy Architects.
Security and energy efficiency can also go hand-in-hand. For example, the access control system can alert school staff to an open door — an invitation to criminals as well as an outlet for heated or chilled air to escape.
Along with access control, the school’s security solutions also include 100 video surveillance cameras and burglar alarm and fire safety systems. Panic buttons are available to immediately contact local first responders in case of an emergency.
Creating a high-tech learning environment was also important to district officials. The school’s network provides Wi-Fi capability throughout the facility. Each classroom has a 70-inch LCD monitor, while 60-inch monitors mounted in hallways keep students updated on school events and the cafeteria menus. This fall, as part of the school district’s One to One Digital Learning Initiative, every high school student will have a personal learning device, a MacBook Air laptop, in their hands.
Other notable features of the new campus include a salad bar in the cafeteria, an outdoor amphitheater and a courtyard where students and staff can enjoy lunches and between-class breaks.
A 2011 community bond referendum paid for the majority of the $30-million construction costs of the new school.
Martin says the past fall semester was busy planning the move that took place immediately following the winter holiday break. And the spring semester was all about settling into the new facility. | 2019-04-21T22:30:56 | https://webspm.com/articles/2014/08/01/going-green-on-a-budget.aspx |
I have developed a dyn. to solve this issue but each time I need to study any ceiling I should export it to CAD and explode it then import it again in revit and explode as model line then run the dynamo script so is there a way to create the model lines directly from revit like reading the ceiling grids in some how ?.
and this is the dyn. for any interested to see it, any help will be appreciated.
If you follow the same script the I published in the other post you will be able to get surfaces the next step is to sort them based on size then count each set of surfaces. soon I will publish full solution about this topic.
Btw, Is it possible to count the tile for below pattern … ?
To be honest I didn’t try for pattern, I am not sure if it’s readable in dynamo what I did for ceiling tile is something out of the box I recommend you to try and if you need help do let me know.
Perhaps you could do some maths with the count?
Or maybe combine them with the element boundaries to give full and partial counts? | 2019-04-18T22:52:26 | https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/ceiling-tiles/10641 |
A bizarre interstellar object called 'Oumuamua continues to perplex astronomers a year after it vanished. Here's why a few scientists still wonder if it was alien.
An illustration of the space object 'Oumuamua flying through the solar system in late 2017.
A building-size object called 'Oumuamua flew through the inner solar system in late 2017.
Telescopes observed the mysterious interloper, but scarce data has left questions open about the object's shape, size, and composition.
A few astronomers wonder whether it could be alien, but 'Oumuamua is most likely a "slightly weird" asteroid, comet, or space rock.
New space missions are being dreamed up to intercept the next interstellar object that visits our solar system.
In 2016, something roughly the size of a skyscraper emerged from deep space and careened toward the inner solar system.
The mysterious object flew within about 15 million miles of our planet on October 14.
But it wasn't until four days later that humanity finally spotted it in telescope data. By then, it was moving away from the sun at a speed of more than 110,000 mph. It took days for astronomers around the globe to point every tool they could in its direction.
Astronomers initially called their unprecedented catch "1I/2017 U1," with "I" standing for interstellar - or from another star system. The object was later dubbed 'Oumuamua, a Hawaiian name that's pronounced "oo moo-uh moo-uh" and means "a messenger from afar, arriving first."
'Oumuamua remains one of the most significant, confounding, and at times contentious astronomical discoveries in recent memory. Little is definitively known about its composition, mass, shape, or dimensions - it may be a 3,300-foot-long cigar, a city-block-size pancake, or something in-between.
"This one's gone forever. We have all the data we're ever going to have about 'Oumuamua," David Trilling, an astronomer at Northern Arizona University who led Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the object, told Business Insider. "Now it's trying to understand if we can tell a story. Do we know what's going on?"
Read more: Smart aliens might live within 33,000 light-years of Earth. A new study explains why we haven't found them yet.
Enough doubt surrounds 'Oumuamua that at least one reputable astronomer and a few of his colleagues continue to speculate about potential alien origins. But nearly all other experts who have studied 'Oumuamua say the aliens hypothesis is extraordinarily unlikely.
Here's what we know about 'Oumuamua, why it probably isn't alien, and how astronomers are preparing for another interstellar object to unexpectedly sail through our solar system.
A view of the Pan-STARRS observatory in Hawaii.
Researchers in 1976 predicted that other star systems were likely ejecting big asteroids and comets and flinging them toward our solar system, suggesting we could perhaps spot some in the future.
But the most recent estimate of how often such interstellar vagabonds would pay us a visit (and be detectable) was "bleak," according to the authors of a study published just months before 'Oumuamua was discovered. The odds, in fact, were low enough that practically no one was overtly looking for these space objects.
Then on October 19, 2017, Robert Weryk, a postdoctoral student at the University of Hawaii, discovered 'Oumuamua somewhat by accident.
Weryk was perusing a batch of data collected by an observatory called Pan-STARRS (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System) that sits atop a mountain in Maui. The observatory scans the entire sky each night, allowing astronomers to compare fresh data to the previous evening's. Anything that's bright enough to detect and moving will thus stand out.
As Weryk told The Atlantic in November 2017, he initially thought the object was a typical asteroid. But after a glance at the previous evening's data, he realized it was unusual.
"I'd never expected to find something like this," he said.
Calculating the exact path of 'Oumuamua took about a week. The math showed it was an object from beyond - way, way beyond. Its orbit was "unbound" or loop-less, and it was making a checkmark-shaped trip through the solar system. It had entered from above the plane of the solar system, dipped close to and below the sun, and was exiting out the top.
This realization prompted Weryk, fellow astronomer Karen Meech, and others to launch a global effort to observe 'Oumuamua with as many powerful telescopes as possible before it vanished. More astronomers eventually followed suit, though with some delay.
"I was caught off-guard, and I think a lot of astronomers were, too," Trilling said. "It took a while for many of us to think, 'I should go look at it.' The delay was people thinking, 'Naw, it couldn't be from another solar system.'"
Because of this element of surprise, and the fact that world-class observatories are scheduled months or years ahead, it took a week or more for powerful telescopes to start looking at 'Oumuamua. Hubble didn't observe it until November 2018, then again before the object vanished from sight in January 2018.
No telescope resolved its shape in any discernible detail, though. One observatory was equipped to do so - the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico - but nature had other plans.
"Unfortunately, the Arecibo Observatory missed the opportunity to determine the actual shape of 'Oumuamua due to Hurricane Maria, really bad timing," Abel Méndez, an astrobiologist at the University of Puerto Rico, told Business Insider.
Is it a comet, asteroid, or something else?
An artist's depiction of interstellar object 'Oumuamua.
The observations that were made suggest 'Oumuamua has a fairly uniform surface, is relatively dark, and has a reddish color (which is not unusual for deep-space objects).
Lacking any detailed photograph of 'Oumuamua, astronomers resorted to studying its brightness as the next-best method to deduce its shape. This is because any side of an object that faces the sun will reflect light; a longer side tends to reflect more light than a shorter side because it has a greater area. Repeating changes in brightness can also betray the rough dimensions and 3D-motion of a space object.
Early calculations suggest 'Oumuamua tumbles about once every eight hours and has a cigar-shape, with a large-to-small-dimension size ratio of roughly ten to one. That is abnormal.
"The most extreme bodies we know of in the solar system are three-to-one," Trilling said.
Another peculiarity is that in January 2018, on its way toward interstellar space, 'Oumuamua deviated from its predicted path by about 25,000 miles.
If 'Oumuamua were a typical comet, this might explain its change of direction: Comets that drift close to the sun warm up, which causes internal gases to evaporate. The shooting jets of these gases can act like small rocket engines, altering the path an object travels and the way it tumbles.
In such cases, the evaporating gases form a tail behind the rock. They can also cause big chunks of a comet to break off. But no tail or break-up of 'Oumuamua was definitively seen.
There was also another surprise from the Spitzer Space Telescope: It did not detect a heat signature. The fact that Spitzer was unable to detect that heat suggests 'Oumuamua is somewhat shinier than a normal object, since less warmth being absorbed means more sunlight is getting bounced away.
Trilling said "shiny" is relative, though -'Oumuamua could be as dark as "dirty slush" in a gutter, and that would be shinier than expected.
"We're not talking about a ball of tin foil flying through space," he said.
However, an extraordinary possibility - an unnatural object - did occur to some researchers, a few of whom chose to test the idea against the limited observations.
Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko as seen by the Rosetta spacecraft on October 9, 2015.
Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard University's astronomy department, took the peculiarities of 'Oumuamua as reason to pursue the remote possibility that 'Oumuamua might be alien in origin.
In December 2017, Loeb directed Breakthrough Listen (an effort to listen for alien signals that Loeb helps run) to point radio antennas toward 'Oumuamua. No alien communications were detected.
In October 2018, Loeb and a colleague wondered in a study whether the object might have a more extreme pancake-like shape. Based on mathematical analysis, they suggested it could perhaps be as thin as a sail that could be pushed by light (also called a lightsail), which might also explain the 0.1% change in direction found by Hubble.
Most recently, Loeb and an undergraduate student published a brief study suggesting 'Oumuamua might actually have a 50-to-1 size ratio if it's cigar-shaped, or a 20-to-1 ratio if it's more of a pancake.
Loeb defends his pursuit of the idea as a valid scientific argument, given the data available. In a blog post at Scientific American, he wrote that humans spotting alien technology "might resemble an imaginary encounter of ancient cave people with a modern cell phone," at first interpreting it as "shiny rock" and not a "communication device."
However, Olivier Hainaut, an astronomer with the European Southern Observatory, told Business Insider that Loeb's latest paper is based on a misunderstanding of brightness data from a study that Hainaut co-authored. Hainaut added that Loeb's conclusions "collapse" when the uncertainty of the data is taken into account. Loeb and a co-author disputed this, claiming the uncertainty is not as great as Hainaut said.
Many researchers interviewed by Business Insider also noted that because the observations of 'Oumuamua were relatively distant, limited, and filled with gaps, there's not nearly enough data to reasonably make extraordinary claims (which, as Carl Sagan once quipped, require extraordinary evidence).
Hainaut thinks the object is most likely a "slightly weird" space rock, as does Trilling.
"All of the evidence is consistent with a rock," Trilling said. "We've never seen an alien spaceship - we have no idea what that evidence would look like. So I think it's just a rock."
Trilling said he accepts the possibility, however remote, that Loeb and his colleagues' "extreme" ideas could eventually be borne out.
"I don't have any direct evidence that says it has to be a rock and it cannot an alien spacecraft," he said. "The only way to do that is to go visit it."
But for now, Trilling explained that it's most logical to side with hundreds of years of astronomical research.
A Falcon 9 rocket built by SpaceX launching a satellite into space.
Since 'Oumuamua, astronomers have made adjustments at major observatories to allow for more rapid-turnaround observations of the next rare interstellar object that comes to town.
"With this one, we were taken fairly by surprise," Hainaut said, adding for the next one: "We are ready."
The research community has also reconsidered how often things like 'Oumuamua might visit the solar system. Trilling and others published a study suggesting that current observatories may see an interstellar interloper about once every five years. By the mid-2020s - after new telescopes come online that are designed to look for Earth-threatening asteroids - they might be spotted at a rate of once per year.
This, in turn, has led multiple groups of researchers to wonder if a small spacecraft could be readied to chase down another interstellar visitor like 'Oumuamua and study it up-close. Hainaut is part of one of the groups researching that idea.
"We had a workshop on this in October, and at the beginning of the workshop we said, 'This is impossible.' But after one week of hard work, we realized it's not impossible anymore, it's just difficult," Hainaut said. "Impossible? That's a problem. Difficult? As a first approximation, that just means expensive."
There's also a chance that, decades from now, a project called Breakthrough Starshot that Loeb is part of might resolve the question of what 'Oumuamua is and is not.
Starshot aims to propel tiny spacecraft to another star system with powerful lasers, perhaps at around 20% the speed of light. Such robots could also hypothetically be sent to catch up to 'Oumuamua in deep space.
"The Breakthrough Starshot is extremely interesting. The problem is that the laser technology that is required is far from being ready," Hainaut said. "I hope it will be one day." | 2019-04-24T05:52:59 | https://nordic.businessinsider.com/oumuamua-interstellar-space-rock-alien-spaceship-evidence-2019-1 |

A fresh batch of doughnut shops has invaded our community. The trend is evidenced by the two locations of Square Donuts, an odd manifestation of the historically circular indulgence, and the buzz around the new “cronut” croissant hybrid (and its local variant, the “doissant”). General American Doughnut Co., stridently named given the delicate merchandise, now makes its home near Fountain Square, along with Rocket 88, a label that reminds me more of a Broad Ripple High School football jersey than the organic ingredients that are the company’s calling card.
Doughnuts are the new cupcakes, I am told, which dismays me. I mean, doughnuts are fine (plain cake or glazed yeast), but I love cupcakes, especially those sold at Gigi’s in three north-suburban locations. I was introduced to the treats by a lovely salesperson at Tiffany, who was taken by my sister’s and my curious tradition of buying each other matching birthday gifts. This annual ritual is born of our close relationship and having birthdays only weeks apart. Hence, we can be seen wearing identical scarves and toting the same handbags.
On that Tiffany visit, a turquoise enamel egg caught our eye. When we came back to pick up our selections, the salesperson had four gorgeous Gigi’s cupcakes waiting for us, either to thank us for our purchase or as pity for our apparent lack of outside friends. We went straight to a table in the food court to indulge. I chose the Wedding Cake, a white confection topped with vanilla buttercream frosting and nonpareils, while she selected the Midnight Magic, devil’s food with chocolate buttercream studded with chocolate chips. For all of our similarities, flavor preference is not one. Either way, we moaned with sheer pleasure over the fresh, sweet cake and silken icing.
I was not consulted regarding cupcakes’ slippage on the dessert continuum. Now, I understand, only pie and macarons top doughnuts. I have a problem with that. I grew up eating not macarons, of the fine pastel variety now in vogue, but macaroons, and then only on the Jewish holiday of Passover, when leavening agents are forbidden. They were molded of chewy shredded coconut and came in a can.
Pie is acceptable, I guess, but what’s new about that? Farmers’ wives have been cooling pies on windowsills since they used wood stoves. My mother made a fresh one daily, which my brother attacked before it was even sliced. I favored lemon meringue, which my father jokingly called “lemon syringe.” This annoyed my mother to no end, given that her every creation was perfection in a pie tin. Ah, the filling was tart and smooth, the meringue a mile high, the crust impossibly flaky with a hint of salt.
Thank goodness chocolate-chip cookies never go out of style, or brownie sundaes.
As to the current status of a confection, who is to say which dessert is “in”? Are people wandering the streets muttering “I wish I had a doughnut,” and a score of doughnut shops appear? Or do the stores come first, and then the baking aroma and display windows fill our senses with desire?
If I had a say, I would suggest the jellyroll as a top contender. Mom taught me to make this fragile creation, and mine are delectable. I bake the golden sponge cake in a pan lined with wax paper, spread a layer of currant jelly, and roll the concoction quickly to prevent cracking. (There are a million other tricks, but Mom kept her baking tips secret, and, more than a decade after her passing, I still honor her wishes.) On her recipe card, after the ingredients and basic instructions, she noted, “Cut off end piece. Eat.” I honor those wishes as well.
I ran into an old family friend a few years ago, who, after briefly greeting me, said, “I still remember your mother’s jellyroll …” I felt at once happy and sad about that, so the next day, I assembled the ingredients, whipped up a jellyroll, looked up his address, and delivered it to his door. Judging by his reaction—something short of falling to his knees in gratitude—he didn’t care what was “in” any more than I did.
Mom’s other baked goods, if mass-produced, could have sold faster than snow cones at a summer fair. Her pecan rolls were wound in loose circles and topped with gooey caramel sauce, her fluffy angel-food cake beaten by hand in a copper bowl and served with a dollop of chocolate whipped cream, her strudel crafted of countless paper-thin layers separated by a light cinnamon-sugar sprinkle and plump golden raisins. I ask you, why are doughnuts, especially those topped with bacon or Red Hots, better than any of that?
Thank goodness chocolate-chip cookies will never go out of style, or brownie sundaes. But other treats have. I recently saw a tower of old-fashioned Mexican wedding cakes at a bridal reception and nearly fell over into the punch bowl. You don’t see people pining for petits fours, which does not diminish their deliciousness. Ethnic specialties have a deep but not wide following, such as sticky-sweet baklava and the Sephardic treat of Taaralikus. When better than now, in this season of holiday indulgence, to appreciate what we might have overlooked?
I do not have the wherewithal or inclination to start a business and then franchise it all over the place, but if I did, I wouldn’t serve doughnuts. I had my fill from the glory days of now-shuttered Roselyn Bakeries—curse those rodent droppings!—and Long’s, which still makes the best in town. A short drive to Lebanon finds Titus Bakery, which serves the perfectly simple glazed confection only until they run out.
My jellyroll store would probably have limited appeal, anyway, given the short shelf life of the delicacy, especially once you’ve sprinkled on the powdered sugar. There, I’ve divulged another secret. If you want to try your own, be sure to stir the jelly to make it easy to spread. And don’t let on you heard it from me. | 2019-04-21T08:11:07 | https://www.indianapolismonthly.com/news-and-opinion/opinion-and-columns/unjust-desserts-decrying-doughnut-shops |
Objective: To assess the presence of Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika in serum samples of patients with acute febrile illness in Piura, Peru and describe the most common clinical features. Results: Dengue was the most common arbovirus detected in 170/496 (34.3%), followed by Zika in 39/496 (7.9%) and Chikungunya in 23/496 (4.6%). Among the 170 samples positive for Dengue, serotype 2 was the most predominant type present in 97/170 (57.1%) of samples, followed by the serotype 3 in 9/170 (5.3%). Headaches, muscle pain, and joint pain were the most common symptoms associated with fever in patients with Dengue and Zika. No symptoms predominance was observed in patients with Chikungunya.Dengue is considered the most frequent arbovirus in Peru and the number of cases has increased dramatically in the last 5 years. However, it is not the only arbovirus that circulates along the northern coast of Peru. It has also been determined the presence of Zika and Chikungunya in our population, which may suggest the circulation of other arboviruses that have not been detected.
Purpose To evaluate the intensity of nocturnal hypoxemia associated with sleepiness in Peruvian men with a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods We carried out a secondary data analysis based on a study which includes patients with OSA who were seen in a private hospital in Lima, Peru from 2006 to 2012. We included male adults who had polysomnographic recordings and who answered the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESE). The intensity of nocturnal hypoxemia (oxygen saturation ≤90 %) was classified in four new categories: 0, <1, 1 to 10 and >10 % total sleep time with nocturnal hypoxemia (NH). When the ESE score was higher than 10, we used the definitions presence or absence of sleepiness. We used Poisson regression models with robust variance to estimate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) for association between sleepiness and NH. Results 518 male patients with OSA were evaluated. Four hundred and fifty-two (87 %) patients had NH and 262 (51 %) had sleepiness. Of the 142 (27.4 %) patients who had >10 % total sleep time with NH, 98 (69.0 %) showed sleepiness and had a greater probability of sleepiness prevalence, with a crude PR of 1.82 (95 % CI 1.31–2.53). This association persisted in the multivariate models. Conclusions We found an association between NH and sleepiness. Only patients with the major intensity of NH (over 10 % of the total sleep time) had a greater probability of sleepiness. This suggests that sleepiness probably occurs after a chronic process and after overwhelming compensatory mechanisms.
Objectives: Among different factors, diet patterns seem to be related to depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the consumption of fruits and/or vegetables and depressive symptoms. Methodology/Principal findings: A secondary data analysis was conducted using information from a population-based survey from 25 regions from Peru. The outcome was the presence of depressive symptoms according to the Patient Health Questionnaire (cutoff 15 to define major depressive syndrome); whereas the exposure was the self-reported consumption of fruits and/or vegetables (in tertiles and using WHO recommendation 5 servings/day). The association of interest was evaluated using Poisson regression models controlling for the complex-sample survey design and potential confounders. Data from 25,901 participants were analyzed, mean age 44.2 (SD: 17.7) and 13,944 (54.0%) women. Only 910 (3.8%; 95%CI: 3.5%–4.2%) individuals reported consuming 5 servings of fruits and/or vegetables/day; whereas 819 (2.8%; 95%CI: 2.5%–3.1%) had depressive symptoms. Those in the lowest tertile of fruits and/or vegetables consumption had greater prevalence of depressive symptoms (PR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.39–2.55) than those in the highest tertile. This association was stronger with fruits (PR = 1.92; 95%CI: 1.46–2.53) than vegetables (PR = 1.42; 95%CI: 1.05–1.93) alone. Conclusions: An inverse relationship between consumption of fruits and/or vegetables and depressive symptoms is reported. Less than 5% of subjects reported consuming the amount of fruits and vegetables recommended by the WHO. There is a need to implement strategies to promote better diet patterns with potential impact on mental health. © 2017 Wolniczak et al.

Introducción. Los trastornos de conducta alimentaria (TCA) son un problema de salud pública y su relación con los medios de comunicación es aún controversial. Objetivo. Evaluar si existe asociación entre los modelos de imagen corporal mostrados por los medios de comunicación y el riesgo de TCA en adolescentes escolares mujeres de Lima, Perú. Metodología. Estudio transversal realizado en tres centros educativos del distrito de La Victoria, Lima, Perú. Se midió el riesgo de TCA con la prueba de actitud alimentaria (Eating Attitudes Test-26; EAT-26, por sus siglas en inglés) y la influencia de los medios de comunicación con el cuestionario sobre actitudes socioculturales con respecto a la apariencia (Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3; SATAQ-3, por sus siglas en inglés), categorizada en terciles tanto en el puntaje global como en sus subescalas (acceso a la información, presión, internalización general y atlética). Se calcularon las razones de prevalencia ajustadas (RPa) para TCA. Resultados. Se incluyeron483 escolares con edad mediana de 14 ? 3 años. El 13,9% presentó riesgo de padecer TCA. Las escolares que presentan mayor influencia de los medios de comunicación (tercil superior del SATAQ-3) tienen mayor probabilidad de tener un riesgo de TCA (RPa: 4,24; IC 95%: 2,10-8,56), así como quienes tienen mayor acceso a la información (RP: 1,89; IC 95%: 1,09-3,25), mayor presión (RP: 4,97; IC 95%: 2,3110,69), las que presentaron mayor internalización general (RP: 5,00; IC 95%: 2,39-10,43) y las que mostraron mayor grado de internalización atlética (RP: 4,35; IC 95%: 2,19-8,66). Conclusión. A mayor influencia de los medios de comunicación, existe una mayor probabilidad de riesgo de padecer TCA en escolares mujeres en Lima, Perú.
An 11 year old, hispanic girl with a history of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia was admitted to the hospital for symptoms compatible with Bartonella henselae infection. The first molecularly diagnosed case of disseminated Bartonella henselae infection was reported in an immunocompromised patient in Lima, Peru. The analysis was confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction and automated sequencing of a liver biopsy sample, even though the serologic tests were negative. In conclusion, Bartonella spp. infection should have a particular diagnostic consideration in immunocompromised patients with fever of unknown origin and further investigation regarding the patient's past exposures with cats should also be elicited.
Trauma exposure and post-traumatic stress disorder in a cohort of pregnant Peruvian women.
Women have a higher prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than men, with a peak during the reproductive years. PTSD during pregnancy adversely impacts maternal and infant health outcomes. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of antepartum PTSD symptoms in a population of pregnant Peruvian women and to examine the impact of number of traumatic events and type of trauma experienced. The Traumatic Events Questionnaire was used to collect data about traumatic exposures. The Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) was used to assess PTSD. Multivariable logistic regression procedures were used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Three thousand three hundred seventy-two pregnant women were interviewed. Of the 2920 who reported experiencing one or more traumatic events, 41.8% met criteria for PTSD (PCL-C score ≥ 26). A quarter of participants had experienced four or more traumas, and 60.5% of those women had PTSD. Interpersonal trauma was most strongly associated with PTSD (aOR, 3.20; 95% CI, 2.74-3.74), followed by unspeakable trauma (aOR, 2.87; 95% CI, 2.35-3.50), and structural trauma (aOR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.15-1.67). These findings indicate the high prevalence of PTSD during pregnancy in the Peruvian population, which is relevant to other countries suffering from terrorism, war, or high rates of violence. This underscores the importance of screening for PTSD in pregnancy.
BACKGROUND: Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains are being recognized as important pediatric enteropathogens worldwide. However, it is unclear whether there are differences in age-related susceptibility to specific strains, especially among infants. METHODS: We conducted a passive surveillance cohort study of diarrhea that involved 1034 children aged 2-12 months in Lima, Peru. Control stool samples were collected from randomly selected children without diarrhea. All samples were analyzed for common enteric pathogens and for diarrheagenic E. coli with use of multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The most frequently isolated pathogens in 1065 diarrheal episodes were diarrheagenic E. coli strains (31%), including enteroaggregative (15.1%) and enteropathogenic E. coli (7.6%). Diarrheagenic E. coli, Campylobacter species, and rotavirus were more frequently isolated from infants aged >or=6 months. Among older infants, diffusely adherent E. coli and enterotoxigenic E. coli were more frequently isolated from diarrheal samples than from control samples (P <.05). Children aged >or=6 months who were infected with enterotoxigenic E. coli had a 4.56-fold increased risk of diarrhea (95% confidence interval, 1.20-17.28), compared with younger children. Persistent diarrhea was more common in infants aged <6 months (13.5% vs 3.6%; P <.001). Among children with diarrheagenic E. coli-positive samples, coinfections with other pathogens were more common in children with diarrhea than in control children (40.1% vs 15.6%; P <.001). CONCLUSIONS: Diarrheagenic E. coli strains were more frequently isolated in samples from older infants. In this setting with high frequency of pathogen exposure and high frequency of breastfeeding, we hypothesize that the major age-related differences result from decreased exposure to milk-related protective factors and from increased exposure to contaminated food and water.
Demographic and health attributes of the Nahua, initial contact population of the Peruvian Amazon.
We present the case of the Nahua population of Santa Rosa de Serjali, Peruvian Amazon's population, considered of initial contact. This population consists of human groups that for a long time decided to live in isolation, but lately have begun living a more sedentary lifestyle and in contact with Western populations. There are two fully identified initial contact groups in Peru: the Nahua and the Nanti. The health statistics of the Nahua are scarce. This study offers an interpretation of demographic and epidemiological indicators of the Nahua people, trying to identify if a certain degree of health vulnerability exists. We performed a cross sectional study, and after analyzing their health indicators, as well as the supplemental qualitative analysis of the population, brought us to conclude that in 2006, the Nahua, remained in a state of health vulnerability.

She beat off strong competition from four other young musicians to win the coveted title.
And it was second time lucky for Imogen, from Marsden, who took part in the contest last year.
She performed Deep Blue by Ian Clarke and Trevor Green’s Picaroon Polacca.
Ray Brown, one of the festival’s organisers, commented: “She played very well and there was quite a decent audience for her.
Imogen is a member of the National Youth Chamber Orchestra and the National Wind Ensemble of Great Britain.
She has previously won prizes for her performances at St John’s Smith Square in London and further a field in the Netherlands.
Other musicians taking part in the contest were violinist Abigail Askew from the Royal Welsh College of Music in Cardiff, Sarah Bush, a violinist and University of Huddersfield music student.
They were joined by pianist Francisco Marques, originally from Portugal and also a University of Huddersfield Student, and Matthew Rhodes, who plays the saxophone and is from Scholes in Cleckheaton.
As winner Imogen receives £1,000 and a trophy which will presented to her following her performance tonight at the gala concert.
The event will bring this year’s festival to a close and also feature some of the top talent seen by audiences this year as well as a competition between the winners of today’s chor classes. | 2019-04-25T18:25:49 | https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/flautist-imogen-davey-crowned-kirklees-12656641 |
The 529 College Savings Plan is one of the best ways to save for college. But most people aren't taking full advantage of them. And I'm not going to lie - I'm one of them.
The idea of a 529 College Savings Plan is great: you can contribute money into an account and it will grow tax free to someday pay for your child's education. And you can contribute a lot of money too (up to $300,000 in most states). That's not where the trouble arises.
The real trouble comes from rising tuition costs and how much every "college savings calculator" says you need to save for your child's education. According to The College Board, the average cost of a public 4-year college in 2015 was $9,139 for in-state tuition. The average cost for a private college was $31,231.
When you start plugging those numbers into the college savings calculator, suddenly you're supposed to start saving over $500 per month for your child. Then, add that into your own savings for retirement, and you're not going to have anything left for yourself each month!
As a parent, you should also have solid term life insurance to protect your family. Check out Ethos here and get a quote in minutes.
That single amount gives me sticker shock each month when I think about saving for my child's college education. But it's also an important reminder of why everyone should follow the Order of Operations For Saving For Your Kid's College.
(Y) YOU: You have to make sure your own financial house is in order before you try to save for your child's college. If you can't make rent, or buy groceries, there are bigger issues to fix first. However, the YOU bucket also includes saving for your own retirement and making sure you have an emergency fund. I've said this hundreds of times - you can't get a loan for retirement. Make sure you save for yourself first.
(E) Education Savings Accounts: If you've saved for yourself, next you can save for your child in Education Savings Accounts, like the 529 Plan.
Part 2 of that "scary" number that you need to save each month for your child's college is that number is based on saving 100% of their college costs. As a parent, you don't need to pay for 100% of their school. Or, maybe you'll pay for 100% of their public in-state tuition, and the rest is up to them. Or maybe you'll just have a target savings number, and the rest is up to them.
It's simply important to remember that you don't have to save and pay for all their college. It's THEIR college - not yours. Plus, there are tons of ways for them to find help paying for school, from finding scholarships, to getting student loans.
With these assumptions, you should be saving about $96 per month for your child's college, or $1,151 per year. Let's see how that breaks down.
Fidelity also has a great free calculator that allows you to determine how much your need specifically for your situation. They leverage many of the same assumptions we do above, and agree that you don't need to save 100% of your child's college education expenses. Check out their college savings calculator here.
From the results, we can conclude that the goal for most people saving for college should be to have between $37,328 and $245,427 saved in the account. This is a huge range, no doubt. But remember what "low end" and "high end" mean.
Parents should also remember that, even when saving for private school, many students who attend private schools get discounted tuition, or receive scholarships to offset the "real" tuition price. So, even that high end number might not make sense when saving for college.
In this scenario, the low end 529 plan will be able to pay out between $9,600 and $10,000 per year, for each of the 4 years of school. Given that the college costs will rise, that should be about 50% of a 4-year public school tuition in 18 years.
What many people don't realize is that you can invest in almost any state 529 plan. For some people, it can make sense to use your own state's plan to take advantage of the tax deduction - but not all states offer tax deductions on contributions (notably California).
If the state doesn't matter, the next things to look at are performance and ease of saving. For performance, you want good performance for low fees. For ease of savings, we look at whether the plan can be connected to savings programs like College Backer.
SavingForCollege.com ranks the best plans every year, and you can find the 529 plan rankings here. In 2016, the best ranked 529 plan was offered by USAA. We love USAA (and use them for many products and services). This plan is great on performance, and it also connects to Upromise to help you save.
You can sign up for the USAA 529 Plan here. We also have a full list of the best places to open a 529 account here.
1. Save all of your child's birthday and holiday money. In many families, kids receive money from their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and more. I would estimate that the average kid receives at least $200 per year in gift money. If you saved that, you're 20% of the way to fulfilling their annual 529 contribution.
A great way to do this is to use a service like College Backer.
2. Look at Upromise by Sallie Mae. This is a free service that is designed to help families pay for college by simply doing their normal shopping. Upromise offers cash back rewards for linking a credit or debit card and using that card at participating retailers. You can earn anywhere from 1% to 25% back at different retailers. Upromise says that some members are earning at least $1,000 per year - that's almost everything you need to fully fund a 529 plan. UPromise is easy to sign up for - check it out here.
3. Focus on earning more money. Instead of looking at where to cut in your budget, ask yourself, how can you add $100 in income to your budget? I'm a firm believer that anyone can earn an additional $100 per month, and what a better way to put that extra $100 to use than by funding a 529 plan for your child? If you don't know where to start, check out our list of over 50 ways to earn extra money on the side.
We did not contribute to a 529 plan as we lived on one modest income so I could stay home. We have used UPromise for 11 years and have accumulated several thousand dollars of free money for college. I also put all my Ebates checks into my daughter’s savings account. Any money we did not expect has gone to her.
One thing I did was make her a deal. I agreed to pay for the closest major reputable university tuition in full. She is free to use that money wherever she goes, but it is up to her to consider return on investment, affordability, grants and scholarships etc. This has been very successful. Instead of simply looking at the cost of attendance posted on many school web sites, she has contacted financial aid and requested lists of grants and scholarships along with the what it takes to qualify. She is 15, so at this point, she still has time to work on adding to her college resume. Most of these colleges, especially the private ones, have been more than willing to give her all of the requested information plus additional assistance should she need help with applications, essays, etc. She is learning to think outside the box to reduce cost on the front end through dual enrollment while in school and other things to prevent going into debt in the first place.
I think you’re doing so much right! Nice job saving thousands with Upromise – it’s such a great service. Also, good call on using your Ebates rewards checks, that’s a great trick to boost your savings.
I also think it’s important that you have that conversation early (which is sounds like you did). A lot of parents leave the “how much you have for college conversation” as a surprise, and that just disappoints their kids.
You must be so very proud! Your daughter sounds amazing and her tenacity will certainly take her far in life! Your comments have been helpful as a new mom also trying to find tricks to save a little extra. Thank you!
Thanks for this guide. I’ve been doing only $30/mth for each of my girls but started when they were born. Still, I know I need to move it up to around $100 each for them, but it’s hard when you have 3!
I like the way you broke it down into only having to worry about paying half of the (state college) expenses, and they can hopefully supplement with loans, scholarships or getting a job. Thanks for the resource!
If we’re only saving for tuition and fees, we’re only saving about half of what will be needed. The College Board website linked above shows that average cost for Tuition & Feels plus Room & Board is currently around $20,000 for a public 4-year institution. We can tell our kids to live off campus, but (a) a lot of colleges force students to live on campus for at least their fist year, (b) depending on the area it may not be significantly cheaper to live off campus, (c) living off campus can reduce one’s financial aid package, and (d) our kids then spend a good deal of their time shopping for and preparing food and getting to and from campus, rather than studying.
Thank you for such a well written, uplifting and logical article on 529 savings. I feel less overwhelmed and more optimistic having read it! It even has helpful and great comments. Thanks Melissa for the ebates idea!
Thanks for posting this resource. It looks like you are also updating the numbers for inflation and increased costs over time. I have been using this as a guide for my children’s 529 accounts. Both sets of grandparents contribute according to their means, and we try to fill in the rest. One child is 7 and the other is 4, and so far, we are on track for 50% of in state tuition. We probably should be paying off our own student loans more aggressively, but I really don’t want our children to struggle with student loan debt the way we have. I am 45 and my husband is 50, and we are a single income family. Although our families paid for our college (through savings or military survivor benefits), we both racked up a lot of debt in graduate school and we are still paying it off. Again, thanks for posting this. It’s very helpful!
Yes, please save for yourself before your children! Your children have countless options to pay for school – but you can’t get a loan for retirement. | 2019-04-26T10:06:37 | https://thecollegeinvestor.com/16964/how-much-you-should-have-in-a-529-plan-by-age/ |

How to find out what size you need: Either measure your cup or find the tweeter manufacturer's website and download the product manual. You are looking for the cut out diameter required for flush mounting.
Designed to be flushed mounted.
Does not interfere with door strap or feet.
CNC cut 14ga USA A36 steel.
Bolt on for CJ, YJ, TJ, and JK.
Ships bare steel - Ready for paint or powdercoat.
Contact me if you need a size that is not listed. Please allow up to two weeks for custom sizes. You are solely responsible for providing the dimensions that you require -- please do not ask me to look up what size you need; I am not a tweeter manufacturer and often devote hours looking up information that is readily available for potential customers. The cutout in these mounts simulate a holesaw diameter.
Tweeter manufacturers do sometimes change their specs so it's always a good idea to either measure what you already have or check the manual that came with the product. You could have a different year for a certain model that what is on their website. It's always good practice to verify what you have prior to ordering. Nalin Manufacturing will not be responsible for incorrectly ordered sizes.
What can I say--a terrific product. Work very well with my Polk tweeters. Easy to install, extremely well made. Would definitely buy again!
I've ordered many parts from Nalin MFG, and as usual, the quality is unsurpassed. As an innovator of this technology, Nalin MFG is very willing to work with the customer, and the Polk sized tweeter mounts house the tweeters perfectly.
A clever product that will give you great sound in your Jeep. I used the stock radio and only upgraded the speakers and could still hear a huge improvement. Easy mod worth every penny. Get the 5.25 speaker adapters also!
Great product, made installing tweets in my TJ a piece of cake. The Polk marine grade tweeters fit in the mounts perfectly and I am stoked. Thank you!!!
It's a great product, couldn't be happier!
Q: I know this is a dumb question, but what size cutouts do I need for Polk 1 inch tweeters? I thought I'd need a 1 inch mount but the smallest drop down option is 1 1/4 inch? | 2019-04-23T08:52:18 | http://nalinmfg.com/Tweeter-Mounts_p_22.html |

Your emotional health is at the crux of your quality of life. Without happiness, hopefulness and well-being, it’s difficult to reach your full potential and embrace each day as it comes.
Your emotional health is also intricately tied to your physical health, such that an emotionally imbalanced person will be at a greater risk of chronic diseases and acute illnesses like colds and flu.
There is some research to suggest that some people are born naturally happier than others. In one study of nearly 1,000 pairs of adult twins, researchers at the University of Edinburgh suggested that genes account for about 50 percent of the variation in people's levels of happiness.
The underlying determinant was genetically caused personality traits, such as being sociable, active, stable, hardworking, or conscientious.3 But this does not at all suggest that you're born with a certain emotional “personality” and powerless to change it.
Anyone can improve their level of “emotional success,” and your environment and life circumstances also play a role, as there are many other indicators of emotional well-being outside of your genes (or your age).
In many ways, your level of emotional success is based on your own choices and attitudes. While some people are able to roll with the punches, others get easily sidelined by challenges along the way.
Rather than sitting back and letting life happen to you, take control and decide to make things happen for you. Become the ruler of your own destiny, so to speak, and take calculated steps to achieve your goals and desires.
Life is likely to throw you a few curveballs. When that happens, will they throw you off course or will you be able to pivot when you need to? Being flexible means you have an open mind and will adjust to whatever life throws your way.
Mistakes often offer valuable lessons that you can use to improve yourself in the future. Treat them as tools for improvement rather than letting them define you.
Students who set goals earn twice as much money as those who do not. Further, those who set clear, written goals were earning 10 times as much.5 Setting and writing out your goals helps you to have a clear direction and plan for achieving your dreams.
Strength comes from within, so learning to accept yourself is crucial to being happy. Resist the urge to look for acceptance from others. Once you’re comfortable and strong in your own sense of self, relationships and success come naturally.
If you’re under stress, it’s harder to control your emotions. Figure out what works for you to keep your stress levels under control (exercise, talking with a friend, alone time, etc.), and be sure to engage in it regularly.
Stressing and fretting over circumstances you can’t control or which don’t really matter in the big picture will drain your mental reserves and wear you down. Resist the urge to become a control freak and instead let go of the little inconveniences, upsets, and disappointments that come along the way.
What you’ll notice about the habits above is that these are primarily choices you can make for yourself. It's thought that genetics account for about 50 percent of your “innate” happiness while life circumstances make up another 10. The rest is under your control, and the first step to harnessing it is to choose it and believe you can be happy.
Research shows, for instance, that when people were told to attempt to feel happier when listing to music, they were (as opposed to those who were told to simply relax).6 It was the intention to become happier that made a difference.
It might help to consider your emotions as a form of energy. According to Dr. Bradley Nelson, when you feel an emotion, what you’re really sensing is the vibration of a particular energy. Each emotion has its own vibratory signature, and when intense emotions are felt, they can become trapped in your body, much like a ball of energy.
These “balls of energy” can become lodged just about anywhere in your body, where they can then cause disruptions in your body’s energy system, which underlies your physical system much like an invisible matrix.
Your body cannot tell the difference between an actual experience that triggers an emotional response and an emotion fabricated through thought process alone—such as when worrying about something negative that might occur but has not actually happened, or conversely, thinking about something positive and pleasant.
Thinking about something positive and pleasant, will help your body to express many of the health benefits associated with happiness, while ruminating or focusing on negativity can literally manifest disease.

Okay, I can't be the only one on this site who was cursing today when it was blowing, after nothin' but zeros on Sunday.
I mean, blowing off work is one thing, but Monday? I felt like the priest in Caddyshack today, nothing was going right at work anyway, and that wind just had to get stiffer and stiffer in my face as the day went on. Nice and warm, too.
Um, I believe that's because YOU were KITING. I knew it was a great day, even though I never got near the water.
I started the day fully intending to be at SI by 4 pm. By Noon, I should have known there was no way it was going to happen, but I didn't give up hope completely until 5. It was almost comic -- thus the Caddyshack reference.
the coast was going off on the coast.
It seems to me that I have to be ready for kiting on Monday, especially when you didn't kite on Sat. or Sun, it's just my guestimate probability.
I can get to the beach in time to catch the evening push.
What a great session today!!
Sorry Guest but you have a right to be frustrated! It was a smooth rip this evening.
So who's going where today??? Sherman looks to be a good call, but Alameda is fun because the locals are out.

We are focused on reducing the use of energy and water and reducing the amount of solid waste. We think that to reduce something, it first needs to be quantified. Many communities now have ambitious carbon, water, and waste reduction goals. However, there is no systematic collection of data to support the strategic decision-making that will be necessary.
What data is available and how is it used?
How is it tracked and measured?
How do you tell when you’ve made an impact (or how are baselines calculated)?
How can data be presented more simply and effectively?
We are gathering and translating the free information available online through various sources and at various scales to promote long-term thinking about these critical issues. | 2019-04-26T01:42:25 | https://zeroresource.com/2010/04/ |

In general, the environmental quality worsens in the early stage of economic growth; however, in some cases, the quality begins to improve after further economic growth. This paper presents a simple model to explain situations in which environmental quality improves or worsens. Changes were focused on the following: economic affluence, preference for natural environment, and the opportunity cost of conserving the natural environment. The results suggest that the second factor is the most important in improving conservation and environmental quality; this is because it is artificially manageable and has a substantial impact on the choice of the conservation level. | 2019-04-19T12:17:22 | http://jesam-uplb.org/article.php?aid=71-impacts-of-economic-growth-and-environmental-quality--does-the-inverted-u-shaped-relationship-hold- |

Oracle CTO Larry Ellison can't accept enough MySQL bashing into his revenue calls. Is there a manner to this insanity?
with the aid of most money owed, Oracle has been a pretty decent steward for MySQL, the open supply database it picked up when Oracle received solar Microsystems years ago. Oracle has contributed tremendous engineering components to MySQL to exist unavoidable "more suitable performance in areas that own been long considered not viable to tackle," as former MySQL product government Zack Urlocker as soon as allocate it.
extra currently, Oracle CTO and chairman Larry Ellison has made no stealthy of his disdain for MySQL, telling analysts that "you may own bought to exist willing to capitulation hundreds reliability, tons of protection, a whole bunch performance to [use MySQL instead of Oracle because]...we now own a huge know-how capabilities." this could exist reasonable online game to summon out in opposition t a competitor, but here is Ellison speakme a few product it's primarily developed by Oracle.
now not that Ellison got down to demean the business's 2d-most common database—he turned into making an attempt to undermine self-confidence in Amazon internet features, which offers MySQL as a database provider, both as RDS or as Aurora. Ellison, commonly used for stretching the actuality to Go well with his aggressive posturing, makes accept as upright with that "Amazon Aurora is simply MySQL open supply, and Amazon Redshift is likewise just a borrowed open supply equipment." each assertions are doubtful, as Gartner analyst Nick Heudecker features out.
or not it's actual that AWS consumers can buy an Aurora provider that has MySQL smarts baked in, but there is an abominable lot greater to it than this.
there may exist likewise a lot more to MySQL than "a really ancient device." (A curious criticism coming from Oracle, which peddles even older database expertise.) And it's readily now not proper (in any meaningful feel) that "Oracle's self reliant database has the biggest know-how lead [Oracle has] ever had." (This identical tripe seems dote Oracle's former snigger line that "AWS is two decades in the back of Oracle," despite AWS producing eighty times extra IaaS salary than Oracle and 10 times more PaaS revenue than Oracle.) New license salary has been in terminal decline at Oracle for a long time. MySQL, in contrast, and its kissing cousin PostgreSQL, remains everyday, whether bought as a carrier via cloud businesses dote AWS or hasten on-premises.
What is upright is that Oracle makes it particularly challenging to leave. Touting how "nobody [but Amazon] is going to Go through that pressured march to head on to Amazon databases if Amazon can't even accept there without [so much] effort," Ellison played up the problem of migrating a database and, certainly, Oracle's database, to anything. "but in terms of technology, there isn't any route that someone can circulation—a traditional adult would stream—from an Oracle database to an Amazon database. it exist just tremendously costly and sophisticated."
This ilk of sound chunk may additionally play smartly to money-hungry financial analysts, but when you're a developer or a CIO reading Ellison's comments, what kindly of signal does it send?
It says, as one Twitter commentator allocate it, that "Ellison is usurp that it might exist towering priced and complicated to circulation away from Oracle. that's how it is designed. it's dote inviting bedbugs into your condo." Oracle...bedbugs...certainly.
Which is just one reason that many developers are not starting with Oracle in any respect. in reality, i might hazard a stake that essentially no builders resolve upon Oracle. How may they? not handiest is Oracle know-how cumbersome and complicated, or not it's likewise expensive. A developer can delivery with MySQL for $0.00, or with MySQL (or RDS or Aurora) running on AWS for $0.01. purely from a comfort aspect, Oracle will lose every separate time.
The best component Oracle has going for it's inertia. As Gartner analyst Merv Adrian declared, "The finest compel in legacy DBMS is inertia." now not technology superiority. no longer charge advantage. no longer the comfort apart from wont and years of calcified scheme design, physical statistics placement, and many others.
but it truly is purely a moat round ancient functions. As organizations construct the future, they are no longer constructing it on Oracle, though they may additionally now and then exist constructing it on the open source database that Oracle seems to despise, MySQL. Given Ellison's sneering distaste for his own product, or not it's difficult to peer Oracle remaining a considerable deal of a steward for MySQL over time.

However, to accept up and running quickly, you need the privilege technical expertise. This constant influx of new cloud technologies, services and platforms coupled with evolving hybrid cloud demands, has created a significant skills gap in the cloud industry today. In this multicloud world, customers are looking for cloud architects, engineers and developers who own an in-depth understanding of everything from the infrastructure to networks, and entire the route to the data headquarters and applications. Industry demands are shifting, seeking undergo in DevOps, containers, microservices, Kubernetes and open-source platforms, as well as automation undergo with continuous integration/ continuous delivery (CI/CD) deployments. While some organizations feel that investing in the privilege talent- whether internal training or external consulting and support- is an incremental cost, others realize that in the long-run, it’s actually more cost-effective and strategic to cultivate and employ the privilege talent from the get-go.

3rd October 2018; Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Microsoft’s technology ecosystem and the growing popularity of cloud services will create more than 55,000 jobs in the United Arab Emirates by the cessation of 2022, according to new research by the International Data Corporation (IDC). The study likewise covers findings from other Middle Eastern markets such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Turkey.
IDC’s white paper analyses the impact of ICT, cloud services, and the Microsoft ecosystem on the UAE economy between 2017 and 2022, covering a decade of IDC regional findings. The research shows that implementation of nationwide initiatives such as UAE Vision 2021 and Smart Dubai – and other initiatives focused on tourism, healthcare, transportation and education – has led to a surge in IT spending and employment.
IDC predicts spending on public cloud services in the UAE will almost quadruple over the next five years, from AED 439 million in 2017 to AED 1.51 billion in 2022. Between the cessation of 2017 and the cessation of 2022, adoption of cloud services will create nearly 31,650 new jobs (net) and the Microsoft technology ecosystem will add 23,800 jobs (net) for a total of 55,450 in net job creation. The Microsoft ecosystem – the companies that sell, service, deploy, or otherwise work with Microsoft products – supported more than 71,250 workers in 2017. The ecosystem itself is a prolific generator of downstream revenues, accounting for AED10.16 for every AED 1 that Microsoft produces, according to IDC estimates.
IDC analysts likewise investigated the viable knock-on effects of cloud adoption. The exercise of public cloud services, combined with investments in private and hybrid cloud solutions, will “enable organizations in UAE to innovate and achieve their [digital] transformation goals,” the White Paper posited. The benefits emanating from this digital transformation trend are set to generate around AED 20 billion in net new revenues over the next five years.
In March, Microsoft announced that it would open dedicated cloud datacenters in Abu Dhabi and Dubai to serve customers across the Middle East and Africa. These datacenters coming with huge investment are the first Microsoft datacenters in the Middle East. The company believes the provision of cloud services through regional data centres will serve start-ups to more quickly realise their potential, as well as accelerating the adoption of public cloud services within government agencies and regulated industries such as banking and finance, telecoms and healthcare.
Microsoft likewise takes very seriously its role in upskilling and reskilling the existing workforce to champion an emerging progression of jobs and shifts in responsibilities resulting from the increased exercise of cloud services. According to the World Economic Forum’s “Future of Jobs” report, published in January this year, two in three children will cessation up working in jobs that finish not exist yet. Microsoft is active in creating awareness of this with their education partners around the world. The company likewise runs several professional programmes that address the need for upskilling and reskilling to plug knowledge gaps in the emerging cloud services segment, including Microsoft Cloud Administration, Azure Essentials and the AI Professional Certification. Cloud Society is mass readiness program for IT Professionals, Developers and Data Professionals to learn Cloud technologies, best practices and promote their careers. There are likewise kisser to kisser readiness opportunities such as Gulf Datacenter Community meetups.
In its whitepaper, IDC likewise examined wider ICT spending in the UAE, and predicted it would gain AED 35.9 billion in 2022, and that IT employment in the country will surpass 206,000 by that time. | 2019-04-25T20:11:38 | http://morganstudioonline.com/brain-dumps.php?pdf=1Z0-320 |
Gayle, who debuted for Liverpool in 1977, said via Facebook that “unfortunately I had to decline the nomination for the reason that my ancestors would be turning in their graves after how empire and colonialism had enslaved them”.
He said he was nominated for the British state honour because of work with the anti-racist group Show Racism a Red Card. Gayle said that while some may be attracted to the title of the MBE, he believed that accepting the honour would “be a betrayal to all the Africans who have lost their lives, or who have suffered as a result of empire”.
Gayle, who was born in Toxteth, in the city's south, has previously said that being Liverpool's first Black player got a lot of media coverage, where many labelled him as an activist and self-righteous.
“I was a landmark as far as Black people were concerned, and I was proud to represent the Black community of Liverpool,” Gayle said on Liverpool fan website, This is Anfield. | 2019-04-24T06:03:02 | https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/liverpools-first-black-player-declines-british-honour-protest-against-colonialism |

What is your Landfill Budget?
A major problem faced by most municipalities in Canada is the disposal of material in landfills. Incredibly, Canadians throw out more garbage per capita than any other country on the planet! But, the political mayhem produced by NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) activists makes the subject so untouchable politically that most city councils are simply dysfunctional on the issue, even cities such as Ottawa with its huge areas suitable for landfills.
From a sustainability perspective, landfills have become worse not better with regulation. Sustainability is putting things back where we found them, and landfills are now meticulously designed to prevent that. Modern landfills are kept dry so material can't decompose, and are boxed in with layers of plastic as well. We all should do whatever we can to avoid sending material to modern landfills.
So, do you know how much you are sending to landfills, and how you compare with others? Here's how to find out.
According to Statistics Canada the average Canadian sends 300 kg per year to landfills as residential waste. So, to start, simply weigh each bag of your residential garbage for a while on your bathroom scale, then divide by the number of people in your household. (Be honest now, don't skip spring cleaning or that old mattress!) That will tell you how you rate compared to the average Canadian.
You can do it too! Here's how.
The three R's of garbage are Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
To start taking action towards environmental responsibility, translate Reduce as 'Refuse'. Whenever anyone offers you anything that will end up in landfill, try to say, "No".
Single-use bags are an easy place to start. Make or buy a few heavy fabric shopping bags. My daughter got her fellow high school students together and, with donated bolt ends of upholstery fabric from local fabric stores, made enough bags for all the students' families. I'm still using two of the three she brought home for us, over 20 years later. The ones used for food get washed with the weekly laundry. When buying single items that are already securely packaged, just say, "no bag, please" - your bill of sale is all you need. Enclose gifts in a fabric bag closed with a colourful yarn tie instead of one-use paper. That's a gift that welcomes regifting!
Plastic bags are not only light weight, but can be reused easily for storing food in a frig, a cupboard, or in school lunches. Large bags serve to contain landfill garbage. I haven't needed to buy storage or garbage bags for decades.
Get used to the truth about recycling paper, that half of it ends up in landfills. Paper is not just trees, it's plasticisers for wet strength and clays for smooth surfaces as well. Glossy brochures are often only half wood fiber by weight. And, paper needs long fibers to hold together, so fibers that are damaged during use or recycling end up in dumps too. Add toxic de-inkers and transportation-related pollution, and single-use paper bags are much worse for our environment than plastic (ILEA). A typical urban daily newspaper weighs 100 kg/year. TV and internet news are better than most newspapers now; there is a great selection of magazines at most civic libraries. And, a No Flyers sign on my mailbox keeps my black box free of almost 1000 marketing items per year.
To begin, translate Reuse as 'Repair'. Whenever anyone offers you anything that can't be repaired when a minor thing breaks, look for another product. When that minor thing does break, fix it, rather than throwing out the whole thing and getting a new one.
When you can't reuse something that still works, offer it to someone else. Might those no longer worn clothes or old sofa still be good enough for Neighbourhood Services? Put things that might be reusable at the curb a day before your garbage pickup day so any scrounger can pick them up. Join with neighbours or friends in a garage sale. List items free at your nearest Used Canada site, major items that don't find a local market on Ebay.
Finally, when all else fails, try to recycle. First, try to put it back where it came from. Run your mower over your lawn twice to cut clippings fine enough they can be left there, to act as natural fertiliser. As long as you don't use excessive artificial fertiliser or pesticides to kill natural soil bacteria, clippings will decompose into fertiliser long before next mowing day. Unless you have a very large tree, chopped deciduous leaves will too. I chop mine with a mower, then spread them on my garden.
All non-meat food waste, and paper that isn't acceptable in your black box, will decompose in a compost pile. In fact, the Composting Council of Canada estimates that half of all solid waste in Canada could be composted! An effective compost pile is open to the rain - water is absolutely necessary for natural decomposition. Natural decomposition doesn't smell or attract pests as long as no meat is present and there is adequate air circulation. Put it at the back of the back yard, surrounded by berry bushes that grab the nutrients as they enter the soil during rains as my mother did and her's before her. Of course nothing decomposes in northern winters, but I've always found two cubic meters adequate for year-round use. If you use clumping kitty litter, however, keep it away from a compost pile - it forms a gooey chemical blob that doesn't decompose for years. If you live in an apartment, or dispose of a lot of meat waste, campaign for a municipal green box program that composts such material at central sites as Ottawa now has.
Support local blue box (glass, metal and plastics recycling) and black box (paper) programs. Make recycling as easy as you can, with convenient containers in your kitchen and next to your computer. I have four, one covered for compost, one lined with a plastic bag from frozen veggies for landfill waste, one for paper and the last for blue box. Each of the last three are easily dumped into the city-provided containers in my garage whenever convenient.
Some cities, such as Ottawa, sponsor a "Take It Back" program to identify retailers of computers, TV's and appliances who look after proper disposal of your old unit when you buy a new one. High tech electronics in particular contain sufficient valuable metals to be worth specialised recycling. Foxy Recycle takes all of them in Ottawa, free.
You too can greatly reduce the material your household sends to landfills. For our environment and for our political peace of mind, it's worth it.

We are thankful and excited about your interest in Stephen Ministry. We hope that you prayerfully consider taking the training and serving the Lord as a Stephen Minister here at MBC Tysons. Even though this is a serious commitment of time and energy, our experience as Stephen Ministers is that the blessings received far outweigh the costs. The training will help you learn how to care for others going through a life crisis and help you focus your God-given gifts and passion for service. May God bless you!
MBC Membership is required to serve as a Stephen Minister.
If you are not already a member, you will need to attend an upcoming Membership Orientation and complete the requirements for membership. In preparation, we encourage you to read MBC's What We Teach document. You do not have to be a member of MBC before applying. However, you must become a member before training is completed.
When filling out the membership application, write STEPHEN MINISTER in the top right hand corner to expedite the Elder interview process. If you have attended the Membership Orientation in the past, but did not become a member, the Elders require that you attend the orientation again if it has been more than a year.
Applications for enrollment in the Fall 2019 training class are now being accepted. Deadline for applications is May 15 for the Tyson campus and May 30 for the Prince William campus If you would like to find out more about the ministry, please feel free to contact us at stephenministry@mcleanbible.org or call 703-770-4398. We'd welcome the opportunity to answer your questions and share information about the joy of becoming and serving as a Stephen Minister at McLean Bible Church.
Once your application, background check form and all three reference forms are received, you will be scheduled for an interview. A Stephen Ministry leader will call or email you to arrange a mutually convenient time. The interviews will be done at MBC Tysons and Prince William campus respectively, and last about 30 minutes. They will take place on Sundays or during the week as scheduled.
You need to ask three people who are not family members to fill out the online reference forms. At least some of your references should be people who know your spiritual walk with the Lord.
If your references do not have an internet connection, contact the Stephen Ministry leaders to make other arrangements.
Training materials cost $60 per person, to be paid prior to the start of training. Please make checks out to McLean Bible Church.
Meeting on a weekly basis for an hour with an assigned care receiver.
Attending peer supervision group meetings twice a month which will be held on the first and third Thursday of each month, one of which includes a Continuing Education session. | 2019-04-21T07:29:02 | https://www.mcleanbible.org/connect/stephen-ministry |
The Australian Clean Energy Summit is the premier event helping to lead Australia’s energy transformation. The Summit is the peak gathering of leaders driving Australia’s energy transformation.
The agenda included two days of sessions where heads of industry, government and finance shared the models, trends and technology innovations that they’re leveraging to drive renewable energy adoption and overcome barriers in its deployment.
Hosted by the Clean Energy Council, Australia’s peak industry body, the summit briefs delegates on the latest policy, finance, business and technology developments impacting the renewable energy sector. | 2019-04-22T02:07:54 | https://utilitymagazine.com.au/event/australian-clean-energy-summit/ |
Recently, The Habit Burger Grill has become our go-to on lazy weeknights. Tony loves that the Double Char is such a good deal, and I like that I can choose from a few things on the menu. And it helps that it’s a 5-minute walk from our place. For a fast food spot, their service is slow (the one by us has multiple bottleneck issues), but it is pretty good casual food for a fair price. And both of the locations that I’ve been to are accommodating with special diet questions and requests.
All of their buns are dairy-free, but some locations use a butter spread (that contains dairy) on their sourdough bread. The location I go to does not, but you can ask at the counter. The buns and bread are usually toasted on their grill. They do not have a gluten-free bun, but do offer lettuce wraps.
Every time you order a burger, they ask if you want cheese. It’s an up-charge for cheese, but they still automatically add it to the order. Make sure to specify no cheese.
Their burger patties, tri-tip, char-grilled tuna, grilled chicken breast, and vegan veggie burger are all dairy-free. But they are cooked on their shared grill. If potential cross-contamination is a concern, always speak with the manager before ordering!
Several of their sides, including the tempura green beans and French fries, are dairy-free. But they are cooked in a shared fryer with their onion rings and crispy chicken, which do contain dairy.
Most of their vegetable toppings, including the caramelized onions and avocado, are dairy-free and vegan. But the portobella mushrooms contain dairy as a heads up!
They also make some great salads, and most can be modified to be dairy-free. The BBQ Chicken Salad is dairy-free as is, and they do have several dairy-free dressings to choose from. They include the vegan sweet mustard dressing, fat-free Italian, house, and red wine vinaigrette. Oddly enough, their Caesar salad dressing is also listed as dairy-free (it does contain egg), but their thousand island dressing contains dairy.
At last check, all of their sauces were dairy-free, including the BBQ, teriyaki, spicy red pepper, tartar, and roasted garlic aioli. However, all but the BBQ and teriyaki contain egg.
To verify the dairy-free options, you can see allergen notes on their Nutritional Info chart via the menu pages.
They have tons of restaurants in California, and dozens more in other states. See the website below for locations, hours, and their allergen information. | 2019-04-23T10:58:43 | https://www.godairyfree.org/dining-out/habit-burger-grill |

Soft lighting ideas are best option to make a romantic bedroom design instead of the bright. To create beautiful silk lighting you must take care about thewall paint too. The wall paint will reflect the light from lamps.I think violet and red will work with cool to make your bedroom feel romantic as you apply chandelier above that bedroom.
The exterior designers have thought so hard for making the great design of the pool. That is why having the good pool deck designs is strongly recommended for you.
It is usually constructed by using vertical posts that helps you support the beam on its top. This kind of garden cover is designed in wooden base actually which has various types of wood including oak, pine, and more.

Roska is known more for his 130 bpm funky productions, but this collaboration takes the tempo up to 140 bpm for an exercise in rhythmical maximality.

In KK, you can rarely find Penang Lobak. However, in Kuan Onn Tim Sum, Lido, there is a stall which offers authentic Penang Lobak during the evening.
Location: Corner Shop, opposite the wet market.
One of the most significant item of Penang Lobak is the Five-Spice Meat Roll which was crispy on the outside, flavourful and aromatic inside. Dipped with the sweet and spicy's homemade sauce, it was delicious. Apart from it, others delicious items include the fried popiah, fried beancurd and fried stuffed beancurd skin.
The restaurant also serves simple Chinese meal, cooked fresh upon ordering. The Fried Rice is one of the ala-carte meal you can find in the Menu. Stir-fried with BBQ pork, egg and spring onion, it is a savoury yet simple dish.
Next to the Penang Lobak's stall, there is a Noodle's stall which offers Kon Lau Mee and Soup Noodle. The springy noodle, tossed-dry and mixed with flavourful sauce, accompanied by BBQ pork and choy sum, tasted pretty similar to the Wantan Noodle in KL. The wantan, pork and meatball was served separately in a bowl of soup. | 2019-04-24T02:05:29 | http://www.everydayfoodilove.co/2013/01/kuan-onn-tim-sum-lido.html |
Malcolm II (died 1034), king of Scotland (1005-1034), later known as “the most victorious”, was the first king to control Scotland as it is today. He assumed the throne after killing his cousin, Kenneth III in battle.
Early in his rule he ravaged Northumbria as far as Durham but was forced to withdraw. In 1016 or 1018 he was more successful, defeating the Northumbrians at Carham - which established definite Scottish rule over Lothian – and about the same time assumed control of the kingdom of Strathclyde after the death its king; appointing his grandson (the future Duncan I) as its ruler. In 1030/31 he accepted the overlordship of Canute, and in the last year of his reign was forced to defend himself against family uprisings. There is some evidence he was assassinated.
He was the last direct male descendant of Kenneth MacAlpin to hold the throne. He may have been buried on Iona. | 2019-04-20T23:03:09 | https://www.conservapedia.com/Malcolm_II |
