BkiUZ-025V5hd-427ep6 | I was born for the sea. There is no place in the world that I feel more free and alive than out on the ocean. Put me in the bow of a boat with the wind tangling my hair and salt water spraying my face and I'm a happy woman.
Sadly, it's rare that I can get out on a boat. But I've found that usually, I can still get a taste of that freedom and life by walking out to the very end of a good, long pier. I close my eyes and feel the wind on my face. It's a healing experience.
Several times this week, I've crossed the Atlantic Beach bridge and come eye to eye with the Atlantic Ocean. I come to the Atlantic Beach Causeway and almost instinctively turn left onto Fort Macon Road. Just a little ways further and I'm at Oceanana Fishing Pier… It's the one I come to now that my favorite (Triple S Pier) has closed.
A fishing pier is a perfect place to engage in one of my favorite pasttimes. People watching.
As I make my way down the pier, I covertly study all of the other people around me… The young couples walking and holding hands… The two white-haired ladies fishing with their visored faces towards the sun… But it's mostly men that are fishing and I notice on my way down the pier that most of the fish coolers are empty, while most of the beer coolers are full.
These men are pretty serious about their fishing. When I get to the end, they don't speak or acknowledge me. But I'm okay with that. I'm not here to talk to them. I'm here for a conversation with God. So, I find a place among them and quietly watch them try to entice a school of menhaden that are playing about fifty yards out. The fishermen cast, reel in empty hooks, and cast again. The menhaden are not interested in what the fishermen have.
Nobody catches anything on my end of the pier. I decide to head down to the sand to feel the water on my feet. As I'm walking back down the pier, I notice a small family on the right.
Mom is trying to keep a little boy of about 3 from diving off the pier. Dad is sitting on a bench next to a little boy of about 5, showing him how to bait a hook. They don't see me, but I smile to myself and try not to stare at the two adorable, tow-headed boys.
Dad shows the boys how to cast. The three-year-old is now in Mom's arms and is more interested in the seagulls above his head. But I hear the five-year-old bubbling with excitement as he yells.
I kept walking, but I knew I had heard the voice of God.
I received God's promises anew again. I have dreams, but God has bigger dreams for me than I do. And He has promised those things to me. When they don't come right away, I can't give up. He has bigger things in store for me than I ever dreamed of. All I have to do is wait for them.
WOW! What a message! Thanks for posting this….I am not a patient person, either! This really spoke to me!
Wow. That really made me realize that I tend to not be too patient. But who likes to find their own flaws…not me! Its amazing what we can learn just from observing everyday people in an everyday world!
Thanks for that cause you know me I am a "gitter done" type myself.. This and something else yesterday reminded me that I can't give up either on circumstances or people.
Great message Sarah! I'm sure God gets flustered with us for giving up so easily when his blessings are usually right aound the corner.
Patience? Ugh. Not my strong suit. But it's one of those things God seems intent on teaching me, no matter what I might think.
And the beach? YES. Nothing calms me like the sight of the ocean. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-025V5hcGj03COY | Chia seeds may be tiny, but these little seeds pack such a punch they are considered a superfood. Chia seeds are an inexpensive source of nutrients and energy. They are a popular natural remedy that can be used to reduce blood sugar, suppress appetite and relieve constipation.
Chia seeds are high in fiber, fat and protein but low in carbohydrate, making them a suitable source of energy for those on low carb diets. Low carb diets are often lacking in fiber, which is something chia seeds have plenty of.
Chia seeds are high in calcium, magnesium, iron. They also contain potassium, niacin, thiamine, manganese, and zinc.
Chia seeds contain almost 5 grams of omega 3 fatty acids in a single ounce! These omega 3 fatty acids may be the most critical factor in the amazing health benefits of chia seeds. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Omega 3 fatty acids are important for reducing inflammation.1 The omega 3 fatty acids are thought to be responsible for reducing incidence of heart disease, high cholesterol, mental disorders, and arthritis. Common sources of omega 3 fatty acids are fish, like salmon. Chia seeds are a nice alternative for vegetarians, especially. They are also easier to keep on hand and prepare than fish.
Chia seeds are a wonderful way to let your food be your medicine.
Chia seeds can give you a "full feeling," thereby reducing appetite and increasing weight loss potential. Adding a serving of chia seeds (2 tablespoons) to a cup of water will give you the benefit of hydration, the nutrition of the chia seeds and the feeling of fullness – all great for weight loss. Ideally, you will allow the chia seeds to sit in the water in the refrigerator for a few hours. This will allow the seeds to absorb the water.
The nutrients, fat and protein in chia seeds make them an excellent energy source. The electrolytes in chia seeds make "chia seed water" great for an after workout drink to replace fluids and nutrients.
The omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial to the brain, which means that chia seeds are useful for a variety of mood disorders, including anxiety, depression and ADHD.
Fat, protein, fiber and nutrients work together to make chia seeds useful to reduce blood sugar. Some find that chia seeds reduce sugar cravings as well. If you are using chia seeds for blood sugar, do monitor your blood sugar readings to make sure that chia seeds are not reducing your blood sugar too much.
Chia seeds' fiber content make it an ideal remedy for constipation. The magnesium in chia seeds is a bonus for constipation sufferers. Interestingly, chia seeds seem to have a balancing effect and can also benefit those with diarrhea or those with irritable bowel syndrome.
Increased energy is a common effect of chia seed consumption. The ability to use up energy during the day often makes sleep more deep and sweet at night. Calcium and magnesium, contained in chia seeds also are helpful minerals to promote sleep.
The omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium, calcium and other nutrients in chia may all contribute to the benefit to those who have arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
More than just an infamous novelty, chia seeds are an effective treatment that supports health in a variety of ways. Search on Instagram for recipes featuring chia seeds, or try our delicious pudding!
Blend together the chia seeds, coconut milk, vanilla and honey. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

I agree, chia seeds are fantastic for easing anxiety. I add a heaping teaspoon of chia seeds to my smoothie every morning and besides making my skin soft, have noticed increased calm and centered thinking. Borage oil supplements (high dose) have the same calming effect. Perhaps even better than chia seeds.
Chia seeds have mostly fiber in them and fiber definitely lowers blood sugar. Each tablespoon has 5 grams fiber (soluble). I've been incorporating a lot of fiber in my diet (Chia, Ground Flaxseed, etc.) and finally my blood glucose has dropped dramatically. Between my diet and added fiber from supplements (about 40-50 grams) total for the day, I'm extremely impressed with the results!!!
I LOVE Chia! I have learned a couple of things about chia over the past two weeks from personal use. I have gentle, but persistant energy through out the day even to the point that if I drink chia past two or three in the afternoon I cannot get to sleep on time. The other benefit is that when I do sleep – I sleep very well, deep, solid sleep! Chia is a fun, playful experience to drink in my iced tea or water. People at work ask about it and of course I gladly share the benefits. Go Chia!
Can you tell me specifically how chia helps with insomnia? I've done research but don't see anything much. Thanks.
Perhaps the chia, since it seems to give people so much energy especially if taken early in the day causes people to be more active so that they sleep better at night. Just guessing, but seems possible.
Chia Seeds: Thought I'd pass along this info. If you are a homade soup lover (like me), a good substitute for traditional thickeners ( ie. cornstarch, flour, milk) is chia seeds. Have not tried this with flax seed but I'll let you know. The ratio of chia seeds/broth is 1 tbs/1-1-1/2 cups of broth. Yum!!
Chia seeds do not have to be crushed. They open whenever they come in contact with moisture. You can add them to anything. I put 1-2 tablespoons in half cup of kefir most of the time. Stir and let sit for few minutes or put back in frig and eat later. Suppresses your appetite, adds omega 3s to your diet and lots of fiber as well. Love them. I also make a pudding with them, add them to soup, many ways to eat them.
After reading about chia seed, I purchased a lb bag of them for the omegas. I couldn't believe the vitamins, minerals and amino acid complex in these little seeds. After 2 weeks, I noticed my energy level increasing and I didn't have my usual sugar cravings in the afternoon. My anxiety started going away and I started walking more. It has been almost 2 months and I couldn't be happier with how much better I am feeling. I put a tablespoon of chia in a glass of water about half full then add a little cranberry juice, let it sit a minute, stir it with a spoon and drink this down twice a day. It's a whole food that is loaded with good things.
I have only just found out about these and I think I am going to get some and give them a go. There appears to be a difference in them according to the country they are grown in but on the whole they should be the same. I would love to get rid of some weight along with aches and pains.
"The study did not collect information on the men's diets. Therefore, it's not clear whether the omega-3 fatty acids in their blood came from food or from supplements."
The above paragraph says a lot.. But many people will give up chia seeds because of it. They are natural from nature, unlike many man made supplements.
Remember cancer can not live in a oxygenated and alkaline environtment. Research herbs that provide oxygen to the body. Deep breathing is good. Eat healthy food from nature (unprocessed) and fresh juices and you will be fine.
It isn't wise to make blanket conclusions on studies that include several questionable variables and unknowns. The benefits of Omega 3's on human health and disease prevention are numerous. The one problem I see which could raise issues like this study found is the lack of fat soluble antioxidants like Carotenes, Vit-E & A that are essential to protect the sensitive unsaturated 3's. Heavy metals especially and any type free radical damages the Omega 3's.
Zinc and Selenium were also mentioned as being studied in this publication proly to find some "unknown factor" increasing cancer risk rather than reducing. Anyway, Zinc & Selenium are the two most important minerals for prostate health.
Despite being in the high risk category for prostate problems I have, so far, evaded any of the first symptoms of complication; with the exception of only very recently a problem urinating. At the first signe of urinary problems I take Stinging Nettles herb and Cranberry. Cranberry prevents infection by keeping the urinary tract clean which prevents inflammation in the Prostate. Stinging Nettles reduces dihydrotestosterone levels which is the number one factor for enlarged Prostate.
I started taking chia seeds last fall. I am a diabetic and took 3 tbls in 6 oz of water, with a little lime juice. I made it the night before, put in the fridge, and have a light, tasty breakfast. I can tell you, that after about 3 weeks, my fasting blood sugar was getting steadily lower. I have since cut back on my insulin, and I am also losing weight, perhaps because now I have the energy to get out and walk 30 min. 3-4 times per week. I don't know if this progress will continue, but I sure hope so.
Hello, I have heard that some 2004 study concluded that Chia seed puts males at a higher risk of prostate cancer if consumed on a regular basis. I also have heard that Chia seed is a "superfood" that has a ton of vitamins/minerals and is wonderful for our health.
Is Chia seed good or bad for prostate health?.. And also general health too?
I have taken it and it has worked wonders for my mood and energy.
I have been eating chia seed ever since I heard about it. My favorite breakfast is to put 2 or 3 tablespoons in yogurt flavored with vanilla, anise, cinnamon, with a handful of blueberries and pomegranate seeds.
I make a lentil soup with the chia seeds in it. It thickens the soup, and is an easy way to eat them. I don't like the gel plain. Yuck.
My Naturopath friend suggested to a partner that he take chia as prep for knee-replacement surgery.
I believe he ingested 3 tbsp daily for a couple weeks ahead of the surgery; an extreme amount to be sure.
I will agree with you in the healing properties of this tiny seed. My husband is battling with brain cancer and he started using chia seed in his diet and we have found a drop in his high blood pressure, general health and energy levels. He eats about 2tsp of it on salads and in his morning meal.
I'm a big fan of Chia Seeds! They are a great source of plant-based Omega-3's, and fiber.Plus, they are a very simple and easy to use supplement. The gel they create when you mix them in water (1 part seeds to 9 parts water) is loaded with fiber, and some people use this gel to aid in weight loss. The gel can be made and stored in the refridgerator for, I think, up to a week. I like to make a little chia gel each morning and add to my smoothie.
i have been taking 2 tablespoons of chia seeds daily in my smoothies. so far i have noticed that it definitely keeps me fuller longer. it is too soon to say but i also think it is helping keep my blood sugar stable. and i love how they taste in smoothies and juices.
I noted it's effects mostly when I first added it to my diet. (increased energy) It is a regular addition to my morning cereal, sometimes adding both ground flax and Chia. One noticeable quality is how I can go the day without feeling hungry.
I have been taking 2tbs of Chia daily for close to two years and would not go a day without it. Be careful where you buy it from, for the price per pound ranges from $6 to about $37 and a pound will last approx one month. The $6 per pound is the one you want to buy, that way you don't have to pay a companies advertising cost! The seeds come in two different colors; black and white. There are some that claim there is a huge difference, but they are almost identical. I frequent this site often and have been amazed that chia has not been raved about.
Chia seed is the great regulator of all time! It helped with my constipation, as well as my friend's chronic diarrhea.
I have been reading up on the Chia seeds. I have not seen any posts on this website about this seed. It sounds like a very good energizer plus other health benefits. Has anyone used it and had positive results?
EC: Thank you for the suggestion - these seeds sound interesting!
i was told that salba and ground salba sold in health stores is chia seeds. they are omega 3 rich as well as fibre and protein and their gluten free, check it out! | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-825V5hc_OxvDpv | While this still happens in approximately 20% of the largest U.S. markets, the stay-put counteroffer may be a dying trend in corporate America. In an article on Society for Human Resource Management's website shrm.org titled, Stay-Put Counteroffers Can Backfire, CFOs Say, survey data shows that counteroffers can often have unintended consequences.
Furthermore, just offering more money to get an employee not to leave doesn't address the root issue that made the person want to leave in the first place. Think about that. If an employee truly enjoyed his or her job, yet felt they were underpaid (grossly that is, I think everyone feels they're underpaid to some degree), surely this employee would talk to their supervisor and ask for a raise rather than go through the effort of finding a new job that they may not like. Most likely, the employee doesn't like several factors about their position. Plus, offering more money could reinforce the perception that they were always underpaid and, therefore, resent their supervisor and/or company even more.
There are better ways of improving employee retention, and if compensation is an issue within a particular market, it's best that companies review this on a regular basis to stay competitive. Other issues at play could be excessive workload, lack of teamwork, bad management, no reward system, and little to no opportunity for advancement.
Obviously, companies need to improve employee retention -- especially when it comes to top talent -- but that doesn't mean they can just throw money at people and expect them to stay. Based on the survey in the article, most CFOs have already figured this out. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

BkiUZ-A25V5hZMvJmKZz | The fourth annual Hawaiian Luau and Classic Car Show held in Colton last Saturday was a hit with the community.
The event, hosted by True Life Church, took place in front of the Colton High School. There was a free meal, dessert, speaker Brynie Robinson and live music, along with fun and games for all ages.
The school yard was filled from end to end as children jumped in the bouncy house or played volleyball in the giant tic-tac-toe square. The adults strolled the grounds, greeting friends and neighbors or checked out the parking lot filled with antique cars and trucks.

BkiUZ-A25V5hcGj03Be5 | Recently, Hip Hop Tamizha released a video called Takkaru Takkaru, campaigning for jallikattu to be legalized. The video is about how the bulls are considered to be like `sons', and about how banning the sport can deeply impact the local business (supporters of the sport insist that banning the sport in totality would lead to the demise of native Indian breeds of bulls), and increase the business for foreign breeders instead. There are also references as to how much the sport is an integral part of Tamil culture. Earlier this year, the Centre made an attempt to legalise jallikattu, but the Supreme Court stayed the Centre's notification in the case.
After a week, HipHop Tamizha finally breaks his silence and responds to PETA's criticism of the short film. In his latest interview to Tamil Hindu, HipHop Tamizha said "PETA has asked me to stick to just making music, Even though i am in the film industry, i embarked into music for a social cause. Most of my works revolve around social issues and my last independent release "Vaadi Pulla Vadi" was also against casteism and honour killings. If PETA thinks that i as an artist should stick to just making music, then the only question that comes to my mind is, what is a foreign organisation like PETA doing in India". | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-A25V5hd-427dzj | This paper attempts to discuss about two topics in particular. Firstly ways in which an isolated village can be electrified and secondly the challenges associated with it. However to be able to understand the entire concept, lets first look at the definition of isolated village.
An isolated village refers to a community of people living together whether in small or big numbers but live in remote distance from the mainstream population. Isolated villages are physically, socially separated from the rest of interconnected villages, cities, towns etc.
The definition of isolated however is in sense of not being sufficiently near to grid. These are remote or off-grid population which needs to be connected socially through the initiation of electricity supply.
Advantages: Provision of electricity supply indicates the basic connectivity and provides platform wherein isolation is minimized. Scope of education and good health options are determined. Hence electrification is a key to economic development and growth. This shall ensure socio-political empowerment of the villages.
1. Adequate supply: the supply of electricity is inadequate depending upon the small villages attached nearby using it more or less. It is found to be difficult to assess the number of isolated populations, small villages and agricultural areas in and around the vicinity where from the isolated population can be supplied electricity.
2. LowLoadDensitiesGenerators:consideringtheaboveissueisvalidinnumerous locations all over the world, it is found that the supply grid is unable to meet the needs of the population around. The generation of electricity and hence the supply is inadequate. Largely low density generators have been planted which has not been able to meet the need and quits the supply of energy.
3. Distancefromgrid:theisolatedvillagesareconnectedtothenearbyareas through the grid that ensures connectivity. But the dispersion of electricity faces difficulty largely due to the distance. The tough, terrain land, agricultural areas in between offers difficulty to sustain the supply of electricity.
to degradation of the grid connections if not used or maintained well.
communities that have been traced whose acceptance towards the electrification of their village is not favorable. The communities reject the idea of enforcing something that hasn't been in practice in their communities for generations. On the other side, there are communities that have been found whose response is positive but haven't understood the potential and need of electricity in their place. The next important issues found were the provision of various appliances that would allow them to utilize electricity to simplify lives and look forward towards development.
Socio-political issues: there are many speculations over the world in order to provide electricity to the villages which have been isolated for years together and whose development is delayed due to many factors. The electricity that can be one source of development is problematic due to its shortage of supply in urban setting as well. Considering another important point of generating revenue. The political issues hidden in not only setting up on budget that otherwise is generated from the public money, it is largely the problem of maintenance and subsidies that are invested into development of such isolated villages. Hence there is lack of vigor and enthusiasm in the corporate and government sector as well to be able to invest thoroughly. Therefore bureaucratic delays among the service providers is one major concern when it comes to universal electrification. Financial Concerns: the government ensuring the supply of electricity is offering electricity that minimum rate possible while government itself is investing through heavy subsidies. But it is observed that the money earned from such isolated villages is not matching the minimum rate at which it is offered, resulting into non usage and wastage of entire set up of electric plant. In certain communities there are different perceptions of the concept of money while in some other, it is not so. This makes it difficult for the government to generate funds and establish a sustainable link. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

Creatinine indicates the conditions of kidney, in clinical, creatinine 9 means that there are lots of toxins and excess wastes in body, renal function is less than 10%. So patients should do some difference in diet and disease problems. It is necessary to reduce creatinine 9 for prolonging life span.
What are the alternative treatments for reducing creatinine 9?
1. clearing away toxins and excess wastes. To achieve this aim, so that patients can accept dialysis to remove unwanted things out, enema and other treatments. Dialysis can help patients to clear away toxins and excess wastes, at the same time, it also takes away nutrients and it can not recover kidney function. So it is not the best treatments for kidney disease patients. Toxins-Removing Treatments has no side effects, all chinese herbal medicines used in the treatments come from nature, and it will create good and healthy internal environment. It has obvious effects on relieving swelling.
2. Repairing damaged kidney and recovering kidney function. Kidney transplant is very popular in all over the world, it is difficult to find the suitable kidney, and due to all kinds of other reasons that more and more patients do not want kidney transplant any more. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is widely used to treat kidney disease through repairing diseased cells and tissues for improving kidney function. It has not effects for dead cells, so if you are in the early stage that you should take treatments in timely for keeping more renal function.

BkiUZ-M25V5hYDkHE41y | Sakai America produces and supports high-force vibratory soil compactors and high-frequency vibratory asphalt rollers to the highest standards in the industry.
Sakai has introduced upgrades to three of its single-drum vibratory. The Sakai SV204, SV414TF and SV544FB now feature Tier 4 Final engines and enhanced capabilities as single-drum vibratory roller solutions in drum widths 54 to 84 inches. The upgraded designs are available with either smooth (D) or padfoot (T) drum, with smooth shell kits available for all models and either style, padfoot or smooth (DF and TF), on the SV544 A strike-off blade will be available across the line as well for the padfoot drum model (TB) and padfoot with shell-kit models (FB).
The new Sakai SW754, 67-inch vibratory tandem drum roller offers improved operating efficiency as well as ease-of-maintenance while retaining many of features of its successful 770-series line. Applications include both thin and thick asphalt lift compaction, as well as compaction of coarse graded asphalt mixes and aggregate base and subbase layers. EPA Tier 4 emissions compliance is achieved by an efficient 3.8 L Kubota engine offering up to 10 hours of actual run time without refueling.
Sakai America's SA33L2-R Series Trench Rollers feature excellent compaction performance, a turn radius that cuts time spent on manholes in half, and a solid frame capable of surviving hurricanes. They are ideal for rental revenue opportunities. They are a well-built, durable, in-demand product that requires little maintenance.
Kevin Sawyer is a quality control technician for Martin Marietta, the largest HMA mix producer and paving contractor in Colorado. He has been working with asphalt for 14 years, following 16 years of aggregate experience.
It takes a special kind of asphalt roller to handle no-vibe paving jobs where structural integrity is a concern. Sakai's solution to this problem is their ND Series, featuring oscillation and vibration in both drums.
SAKAI America's 700 Series vibratory (HF) and nutating (ND) asphalt tandem rollers have a sleek look and increase paving productivity by achieving density with high amplitudes, or nutation mode while leaving smooth finishes on HMA surfaces.
SAKAI America's new SW880 high-frequency vibratory asphalt roller increases paving productivity by achieving density faster while leaving smooth finishes on all mixes, even the most challenging Superpave projects.
Sakai's 700 Series of vibratory asphalt rollers comes in two models, the SW770 and SW770HF. The SW770 offers one frequency (3,000 vpm) and two amplitude settings, low and high (.012 and .025 inches). The SW770HF has three frequency settings (up to 4,000 vpm) and the same two amplitude settings as the SW770. Both offer a drum width of 67 inches and are ideally suited for a wide variety of HMA projects, including streets, highways, airport runways and large parking lots.
Sakai's fuel saver mode allows the operator to manually or automatically set the engine rpm depending on the application, while maintaining all of the vibration characteristics necessary for compaction and smoothness on the project. This mode is proving to have significant fuel savings.
The operator's station, specifically the isolation deck of the 700 Series is similar to Sakai's other roller models but has been enhanced to minimize vibration to the operator, which minimizes fatigue. The 700 Series also consists of a three-position, 180-degree rotating operator console with instrument panel and seat. This design ensures that all controls are easy to reach and gauges are easy to view no matter what position the console is in. The 700 Series also provides 360-degree visibility plus a great view of the drum edges from the operator's seat. An optional side drum light offers added visibility during night paving.
Sakai America's SW990 double drum, high-frequency vibratory asphalt roller brings powerful performance to asphalt paving projects with its 4,000 vpm, Deutz engine and dual drum drive system. The SW990 offers a drum width of 84 inches and 4,000 vpm, which allows for 10 to 12 impacts per foot at 4.55 mph. This feature allows for faster rolling speeds while maintaining the proper impacts per foot to achieve compaction. The drums are also machined smooth and edges are rounded for a smooth mat surface. The SW990's powerful yet fuel efficient Deutz TCD2012L06-2V water-cooled, turbo-charged diesel engine boasts 166 hp. This engine fully complies with the current emission standards and is mounted on rubber isolators to absorb vibration. The SW990 also offers excellent traction with its dual drum drive system.

BkiUZ-M25V5hdn6rOwga | Smart-home technology should be a win-win for both the insurer and the insured. After all, data helps to cut risks.
Yet, there is so much more that makes a customer wary: privacy-intrusion, too much monitoring, premium escalation etc.
Blake Kozak at the IHS Technology Group wonders rightly what will help or stop home policies with a smart-home device to attain good adoption-rates. Think of smart smoke-detectors, water-leakage sensors and a lot many other smart devices that can help avert risks; albeit, at the cost of initial customer-reluctance and skepticism about an insurer's real intentions.
That said, Amazon Alexa Skill, Canary, Frontpoint, Fibaro, Deutsche Telekom etc. are already in the fray. The risks they are taking here can teach others a lot about how to get the balance right.

BkiUZ-TxK0-nUh8iGzpO | I can't remember a time when chronic depression wasn't a nemesis for me. As a child I often felt an overwhelming sadness and wept without understanding why. Now I'm a 67-year-old Christian college professor who still wanders occasionally into the dark fog of hopelessness.
As an adult, a number of acquaintances have said things to me that frustrated more than helped. From my perspective as a conservative Christian, be wary of saying these three things to persons who are experiencing a major depressive episode.
1. Have you been having your quiet time lately?
A lady in my Sunday School class posed this question after I asked for prayer during a depressive episode. I told her that I had been consistently reading God's Word and praying. Her nonverbal reaction indicated that she didn't believe me.
Causes of chronic depression are too varied and complex to blame it on anemic faith or undisciplined devotional habits. I may have an upbeat day when I neglect time with the Lord, or I may have a dark day when I spend unhurried time with Him.
2. You won't be depressed when you get to heaven!
This statement teems with truth. Bodily pain, vulnerability to sin, strained relationships, and a proclivity for despondency are all temporary afflictions (Rev. 21:4).
But a depressed state can clog the mental and emotional receptors due to a debilitating sense of despair experienced by the despondent person. When he or she is plagued by a high humidity in the heart that smothers motivation for daily tasks, when the person can't imagine ever laughing again, the comment about heaven can come across as glib or superficial.
What the person needs is your physical presence and heartfelt prayers for the Holy Spirit's comfort.
The close friend who left work to come alongside me on a rough day didn't quote Bible verses to me. He understood that I could probably recite verbatim most verses he might mention. Instead, he wept for me, whispered prayers for me, and sat beside me for an extended period of time.
3. I'll pray for this evil spirit of depression to leave you.
Once again, I must qualify what I'm about to say.
I'm a firm believer in the spirit world, both the angelic and the demonic. Because of the vulnerable state a depressed person is in, Satan may increase his attacks during such a time. Some depression may originate from Satan, especially when the despondency is a consequence of a pattern of sin in a sensitive believer.
Yet this remark falsely assumes that all depression stems from demonic oppression or attack, with the cure being warfare praying that casts out the evil spirit.
But the research is crystal clear: chronic depression is often associated with a depletion of a brain chemical, such as serotonin. A predilection for depression occurs in family lines, showing a genetic predisposition. Even physical diseases such as diabetes or hypothyroidism may wreck havoc on emotions and result in an extended dark mood.
Assigning a spiritual cause to what may be a physically-induced condition could keep someone from getting the medical intervention he or she needs.
No matter what causes depression, prayer and other spiritual weapons must be wielded. There's a spiritual battle involved in how we respond to the despair. Will faith or hopelessness have the last word?
But it's an oversimplification to blame all depression on an evil spirit.
When it comes to things NOT to say to a depressed person, what would you add to this list?
Terry is on the faculty of Columbia International University in Columbia, South Carolina, and is author of Serve Strong: Biblical Encouragement To Sustain God's Servants. His website penetratingthedarkness.com is an excellent resource on depression.
Thank you, thank you, for expressing these truths. Since you asked, I would add that ANY verse of Scripture, used as a bullet to a depressed person is very damaging. I have struggled with anxiety and panic attacks and, when asking for prayer, been chastised "God hasn't given us a spirit of fear!" (And other verses) Adding guilt or spiritual failure to a suffering soul adds to the burden.
Apart from bring in willful sin, we cannot repent from emotional anguish any more than from a broken leg. Our cry for the broken and hurting is for inner healing and deliverance. That's my cry. Thank you.
Thank you! I have found all of these things to be so true also, as I've walked with a close family member through deep valleys. And even in the midst of my chronic physical illness, all of these statements that you shared apply just as well. May the Lord bless you for sharing from your open heart! | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-TxK0-nUh8iGzp_ | In the modern-day world of technological advancements, plumbers have also advanced their techniques of leak detection. Since most water pipes in both residential and commercial buildings are located underground, it is always difficult to identify the exact locations of leaks without using the most appropriate equipment. Furthermore, due to the existing landscaping, crisscrossing walls and concrete slabs, you need a professionally trained plumber for the job. With electronic leak detection, you will save a lot of money rather than paying for destructive and expensive digging in the name of locating leaks in your plumbing system.
Electronic leak detection does not force you to break floors, ceilings and walls while finding leaks indoors or outdoors. Using the latest testing methods and most advanced equipment, such as infrared thermal imaging, spark test and vector mapping, electronic leak detection accurately identifies the exact spot of the hidden leaks. The procedure is way cheaper than buying and replacing pipes that plumbers may have destroyed during the digging. With the non-destructive electronic detection of unseen leaks, you can be rest assured that a professional licensed plumber will solve your leakage problem without further damage.
To ensure that your plumbing system is thoroughly investigated even for the tiniest of leaks, you should insist on utilizing electronic equipment with the most advanced leak detection capabilities, combined with exclusive methods of locating the exact location of the leaks. These devices are tested and tried to find leaks in any location of your home, such as around the water meter, even when there in rainfall. A professional licensed plumber will always have an easy time to repair all the leaks in your plumbing system because Electronic Leak Detection traces, isolates and marks the leaking area accurately.
The electronically advanced methods of detecting plumbing leaks help homeowners to save money and reduce damage to their pipes. This is because the advanced engineering procedures and high tech electronics are compatible with almost any plumbing system. Through innovative research & development (R&D), plumbers are currently using electronic leak detection methods because of their inclusive non-invasive technologies to repair your underground plumbing malfunctions in different areas of your home.
Advances in electronic leak detection services include locations, such as walls, ceilings, basement floors, swimming pools, outdoor water lines, slabs, irrigation systems as well as sewers and concealed home plumbing systems. Furthermore, it is recommended that a professional licensed plumber should perform the entire procedure from detecting the leaks to repairing all of them. You should also note that this technology helps to repair leaks even underwater with impressive innovation and satisfactory performance in the long run. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-U25V5ha7jY6w4r | La Vespa Burger Bar is a restaurant with a laid-back vibe located on Torrent de l'Olla in Vila de Gràcia, just 1 minute away from the famous Plaça del Sol.

BkiUZ-U25V5hdn6rOwjL | So, from a metaphysical perspective what does this stone do? Well firstly like all opal or opalites, the structure is spherical rather than lineal like most other crystals. That is why opals work so well with the emotions - rather than belting down the front door with an issue they work their way around it, flow through the crevices of our protections and get at issues obliquely and hence less confrontationally. Its easy sometimes to "fend off" some crystals when the emotional issues are painful and we just don't want to deal with them - its virtually impossible to do with an opal because it just wraps you in its energy and there's no escape - so opals are never for the faint-hearted - you WILL deal with that issue no matter how strong your protections normally are.
Now a little about pink opal because it is rather unique in the opal family of stones. Despite being pink its not a soft, calming "cotton wool" kind of energy - rather its incredibly vibrant and stimulating - it raises the spirits and elevates your mood.
Some have described it as a type of euphoria and I suppose that's true but not of the kind where you "check your brain at the door" - its just like it attunes you to the pulse of love and produces this almost immediate shift of mood.
Aside from its benefit as a mood enhancer, Pink Opal/ite teaches us not to judge a book by its cover - to set aside our preconceived expectations and see things for what they truly are. That is far more important than it sounds because our expectations (either of good or bad things happening) limit our experiences. A terrific opportunity may be staring you in the face but because of your assumptions and expectations - mostly due to the past - you ignore it, assuming that it will just turn out like all the other times. Or indeed you might expect something will be terrific because it has been before and hence jump in "boots and all" into something you should not have done. Peruvian Pink Opal/ite helps you see things as they really are - giving emotional clarity, free from judgement and past experiences - free from assumptions and expectations.
It also helps in balancing giving and receiving. Often we get caught in one or the other and its not uncommon for healers to get trapped into the giving side because we feel that's what we should be doing - ignoring the receiving and depleting ourselves in the process. Pink Opal/ite helps not only to balance that but also to get us to see that both are necessary and part of wholeness - and there is nothing to be gained in being the martyr.
This aspect is a manifestation of this stones ability to translate and balance. Whether its translating ebb into flow and visa versa or translating what you're hearing with your ears into what you know in your heart - or indeed I suppose translating languages. An awful lot of our lives get "lost in translation" - between people, from the higher energies to the lower, within ourselves between intent and action. This mineral helps with that process.
I suppose that's all summed up in saying that Pink Opal/ite helps us to release the distortions and see things (particularly emotions and love) from a clearer, more balanced, and truer perspective. And when you see that, you can't help but smile.

BkiUZ-U25V5hdn6rOwlB | Since the 1700s, the Pensacola region has boasted one of the best business climates in the Southeast due to its trade and commerce significance. Major industries such as aerospace and defense, advanced manufacturing and professional services benefit from the stable economy and low cost of doing business.
Pensacola has recently been ranked in the Forbes Top 100 cities for cost of doing business (5.80% lower than the U.S. average according to Sperling's BestPlaces).
As Florida's largest region along the Gulf Coast, Greater Pensacola's economy is a generator of new businesses while also attracting business and industry worldwide. The region is home to more than 500 companies, a strong manufacturing workforce and experienced entrepreneurs.
The Pensacola region offers a cost-effective alternative to many other competitive business locations. Land, labor and capital are more affordable than in many other regions of the U.S. which cannot compete with the natural beauty and livability of the area. In addition, FloridaWest works with growing businesses to lower the cost of location or expansion on competitive projects in targeted industry sectors. For large scale projects meeting certain criteria, special funding may be available to support needed infrastructure improvements or workforce training.
In the 2017 Tax Foundation State Business Tax Climate Index Florida ranks 4th in the nation. The Index compares states in five areas of taxation that impact businesses. Florida's leadership understands that taxes impact business decisions, job creation and retention, plant locations and expansions, ability to compete, and most importantly, taxes diminish profits. With a competitive corporate tax rate and no personal state income tax, Greater Pensacola is an attractive area for business investment and growth.
A progressive state business climate ensures that the region will remain a magnet for existing and expanding businesses.
We understand that businesses need certainty, predictability and efficiency in government regulations. The state's regulatory agencies and local governments provide quicker, less costly and more predictable permitting processes for significant economic development projects without reducing environmental standards. The City of Pensacola offers a free, weekly one-stop development review meeting, with no application or fee required. Need custom cost analysis information?

BkiUZ-XxK0-nUh8iGz1z | The modern music festival can be traced back to Woodstock in 1969, where 400,000 hippies converged to pay homage to peace and love while listening to legends such as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. It was a pivotal moment in history and sowed the seeds for a cultural ritual that continues to thrive.
Over the next few decades music festivals began to flourish across the globe. Although each one was dedicated to a specific genre, be it rock, alternative or jazz, their ultimate goal was the same – to bring together like-minded people to share in their passion for sound.
By the mid-noughties, a new generation of music lovers were looking for a new experience altogether and festivals were extended to multiple days over consecutive weekends. No longer reserved for the disenfranchised youth and countercultures, they became mainstream and open to all.
Fashion also plays a starring role as festival style became a major phenomenon. The focus moved offstage as attendees started to express their personal style in a range of looks that would become huge trends, be it boho hippy or rock chic.
Whether you go for the art or music, there is no doubt that music festivals will continue to tap into the cultural zeitgeist for many generations to come.

BkiUZ-_xK0-nUh8iG0d5 | In 2000, Rush Strong Elementary School implemented a recirculating sand filter to treat their low-flow wastewater effluent. The existing wastewater treatment system was producing effluent that did not meet the regulations of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Jefferson County School System requested that Rocky Top Water Solutions create a design that would bring the school into compliance with TDEC regulations in a cost-effective manner. In order to satisfy this request, the team developed multiple alternative designs. These designs consider the client's preferences and employ a multi-criteria decision matrix that was used to evaluate the alternatives based on four criteria categories derived from a triple bottom line sustainability analysis: cost, operation and maintenance, efficient technologies, and feasibility. This analysis yielded a recommendation of a 100% recirculation rate during low flows to account for summer breaks, where there is no influent flowing into the system. It was also recommended to add a modification filter layout so that the laterals can be continuously cleaned, as these systems are prone to such complications as clogging. With the proposed system improvements, it is believed that the school's effluent will comply with state regulations and the system will work in an efficient manner. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

BkiUZ-fxK0-nUh8iG0Ec | In the past I have been a little critical of Oracle's support notes and documentation regarding the use of Advanced Format 4k storage devices. I must now take that back, as my new friends in Oracle ASM Development and Product Management very kindly offered to let me write a new support note, which they have just published on My Oracle Support. It's only supposed to be high level, but it does confirm that the _DISK_SECTOR_SIZE_OVERRIDE parameter can be safely set in database instances when using 512e storage and attempting to create 4k online redo logs.
Don't forget that you can read all about the basics of using Oracle with 4k sector storage here. And if you really feel up to it, I have a 4k deep dive page here.
It's a brave thing, calling something the "Ultimate Guide To …" as it can leave you open to criticism that it's anything but. However, this topic – of how Oracle runs on Advanced Format storage systems and which choices have which consequences – is one I've been learning for two years now, so this really is everything I know. And from my desperate searching of the internet, plus discussions with people who are usually much knowledgeable than me, I've come to the conclusion that nobody else really understands it.
In fact, you could say that it's a topic full of confusion – and if you browsed the support notes on My Oracle Support you'd definitely come to that conclusion. Part of that confusion is unfortunately FUD, spread by storage vendors who do not (yet) support Advanced Format and therefore benefit from scaring customers away from it. Be under no illusions, with the likes of Western Digital, HGST and Seagate all signed up to Advanced Format, plus Violin Memory and EMC's XtremIO both using it, it's something you should embrace rather than avoid.
However, to try and lessen the opportunity for those competitors to point and say "Look how complicated it is!", I've split my previous knowledge repository into two: a high-level page and an Oracle on 4k deep dive. It's taken me years to work all this stuff out – and days to write it all down, so I sincerely hope it saves someone else a lot of time and effort…!
This is going to be another one of those posts, a bit like this one, that discuss the use of Oracle's database product with Advanced Format devices. I wish there weren't so many of these posts, but it seems that Oracle has a lot of issues with it's implementation of 4k support.
In the last post I built a database which used Oracle ASM (and the Linux ASMLib kernel driver) but found that if the database used an SPFILE which was located on a 4k device (within an ASM diskgroup) it didn't work. Today, I'm going to forego ASM and use a filesystem instead (something I would never do in real life).
Finally, we I am going to create an Oracle database using this filesystem. I'm not going to cut and paste all the output for that, because it's all a bit dull… so let's just skip to the bit where DBCA has completed and the database is open.
ASYNCH: enable asynchronous I/O on file system files, which has no timing requirement for transmission.
DIRECTIO: enable direct I/O on file system files, which bypasses the buffer cache.
SETALL: enable both asynchronous and direct I/O on file system files.
NONE: disable both asynchronous and direct I/O on file system files.
Normally, when I see filesystem-based databases, I find this parameter set to SETALL. This means asynchronous and direct I/O, but here it is set to NONE which means neither. And it's the DIRECTIO that we are interested in.
The answer, which you can find in My Oracle Support note 1133713.1, is that Oracle does not support 4k devices with direct I/O. This has been the case for a long time – I remember first discovering this nearly two years ago, on 11.2.0.2, yet there is no sign of it being fixed. According to the note, "It is not yet known in which version this support will be available." Pah.
And then there's the diagnostic destination. How about if I choose to locate this on a 4k filesystem?
I'll give it a few minutes and then go and look in some of the files… guess what I see?
So let's be honest, things aren't going all that well here. There are still a lot of things that do not appear to work properly when using 4k devices. Luckily, my Violin array can present storage as 512 byte to avoid this sort of issue, but really I feel that Oracle needs to get cracking on its Advanced Format support. This is not just a flash memory thing, pretty much every major disk vendor is making Advanced Format devices now from Western Digital, through HGST to Seagate.
Time to get with the programme?
This article is about the use of Advanced Format devices on Oracle's ASMLib kernel library for Linux. For background, read this page on 4k sector sizes first, otherwise it might all sound like nonsense. Mind you, it mind sound like nonsense anyway, I can't guarantee anything here. By the way, a big hello to my buddy Nate who asked for this information: you rock, dude.
The important bit there is highlighted in red. This device has a 4k physical blocksize (as all Violin devices do, as well as many other modern storage systems) but has a 512 byte logical blocksize. Essentially, this LUN is pretending to be a 512 byte based.
Now that's all well and good. Operating systems and applications that cannot support 4k block sizes (e.g. Red Hat 5 and Oracle Linux 5) will happily use this, because they believe it to be 512 byte. But later versions of ASMLib have started being too clever for their own good.
What happened? Well, ASMLib has looked behind the smoke and mirrors and decided that this is actually a 4k device. It's therefore presenting this to Oracle ASM as 4k, which causes the problem (because I explicitly asked for sector size to be 512 byte on this diskgroup).
[oracle@half-server4 ~]$ fdisk -l /dev/oracleasm/disks/TESTLUN | grep "Sector size"
So that would work. But it would lose many of the claimed benefits of ASMLib such as reduced file descriptors and context switching. Also, it feels like a hack.
Finally, a word of warning. If you are like me, then you are a bit stupid and can't follow instructions properly. I set the value of the parameter to TRUE in upper case and then spent hours wondering why it didn't work. The answer, to my embarrassment, is that it's case sensitive. TRUE is not a valid value so it defaults to false. Doh. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-g25V5hYDkHE5Hd | Springfield renters insurance keeps those who are renting their homes from learning a very costly lesson. That is the lesson of losing everything within the home and not having a way of replacing those items. Although material things, material things are expensive items that everyone works for to make life simpler.
You cannot control some things that happen to your rental house or apartment. This is truer for those living within apartment buildings. The reason is because you have no control over the actions of the people who live inside. In other words, you could pay dearly for the actions of someone else in the building.
Someone else in the building could cause a fire. They may not put out the cigarette before falling asleep, may forget to blow out a candle, or may even leave the burner on after cooking something on their range. Those in the Springfield, OH building with renters insurance will be able to get back on their feet faster than those who don't have this very important Ohio coverage.
There are a number of perils that are covered under your Springfield renters insurance policy. These perils can include lightning strikes, power surges, water leaks, fire, and a number of others. You may also need to add coverage on to your Ohio renters insurance if you are susceptible to something such as flood and it is not a part of your default policy. Of course this can add to your premium, but is well worth it to not have to pay out of pocket to replace your items.
As for how the replacement of your material belongings works under your Springfield renters insurance, you have two options: You can either opt for the actual value of the property now or you can opt for replacement value. Some in Springfield like the actual value option because the premium is lower, but that means the minimal payout will be received.
Those who choose replacement value can get what they paid for the item when they bought it. For instance, your television that you paid $1,000 for that is now valued at $500 can receive a reimbursement of $1,000 because that is what you paid for it. It is rather simple. You just have to make sure you go through all of your belongings before you get your renters insurance in Springfield, OH so that you know what you have that needs covered.
For example, you live in a townhouse on a lake and you want to purchase Springfield renters insurance to protect your belongings. You want to take an inventory of everything within the home so that you can calculate the value and purchase a renters insurance policy that will reimburse you for your loss if it occurs. Even if you're living in a nice home such as a townhouse or even a condominium, the risk of something happening is always there.
It is also important to keep in mind that the weather in Ohio can be rather unpredictable. You live within the state, so you know what kind of weather can occur in Springfield. Make sure you protect yourself against the strange weather patterns that occur when looking at renters insurance quotes. What this means is that if something happens to the condo itself, that damage can cause damage to your belongings.
Another great feature of Springfield renters insurance is that you can be living in a loft and if something happens that it is uninhabitable, you can find a loft elsewhere. The rent and any other living expenses are on the dime of your Springfield renters insurance. Even though you have the renters insurance coverage on your contents, which will make getting back on your feet easier, you also need Springfield renters insurance to help you find another place to live that is comparable to the one you and your family been living in.
So what you do is you contact your Springfield renters insurance and you tell them that you need to access the part of your policy that enables you to pay your living expenses. The Springfield insurer will then tap that part of the policy for you. You will need to specify everything that you need to ensure that the proper allotted amount is provided, but there are limits in place in this area. The good news, however, is that this part of your renters insurance in Springfield is usually more than enough.
So whether a student living in off campus housing or a senior citizen in a new apartment, Springfield renters insurance can provide you with protection. Many in Ohio who rent are acquiring it because of the protection offered. They are doing it because they don't want to learn a very expensive and emotionally challenging lesson like so many before them have. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

BkiUZ-k25V5hd-427eg2 | The American company TurboTax, which develops software in the taxation field, has entered into a cooperation agreement with CoinsTax to present joint services to the crypto owners, as follows from a press release.
TurboTax opens a new section with the tax report option for crypto traders just at the time when the US IRS announced the deadlines for filing tax returns. The new solution will be obtainable in version 2018 Premier and higher.
Using the service, clients will be able to import information on trading straight from the Coinbase, Gemini, and Poloniex trading platforms. After calculating income, tax data is loaded right into Form 1040, Schedule D.
CoinsTax owns the Bitcoin Tax app, which allows customers to make calculations of the income and losses of a trader when trading bitcoin. According to CoinsTax chief Colin Mackie, the new section will simplify the filing of tax returns and preserve clients sufficient amount of time.
Taxation of crypto owners sometimes causes certain difficulties. The United States have long sought to streamline this procedure. In October 2018, the Advisory Committee at IRS called on the office to develop a document on crypto transaction taxes. Ohio was the first state to allow its residents to pay taxes using bitcoins in November 2018.
As previously reported, the Coinbase crypto exchange provided its users with an educational resource that will help them pay taxes. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-rxK0-nUKDhn1yQ | In my early twenties, I was having difficulty talking with my husband about the hard stuff in our relationship. I took a leap of faith and went to New York City to take a course from an enlightened man named Oscar Ichazo from Chile. I learned an important life lesson from him: observing the self is the key to personal development and successful relationships.
Self-observation—or being conscious of our self-talk—helps us become aware of the messages and stories we make up about others, and the messages, beliefs and perceptions we have of ourselves.
Critical or judgmental self-talk that fosters negative messages about ourselves or others often creates conflict. When we are unconscious of the messages we are saying to ourselves, the results can be destructive to our relationships at home or at work. The more mindful we are the better chance we have of healthy and constructive communication. Messages creating destructive dialogue cause defensiveness and confusion. In many cases our self-talk is the source of our own conflict.
Most people believe their perceptions are reality and their views are correct; and if someone else has a different perception, they are wrong. "I'm right, you're wrong." You can get into an arguing spiral of "Yes you did" …... "No I didn't." Most people don't stop to ask questions about the two different points-of-view on the situation. Being curious and willing to understand differences helps us listen and resolve conflict.
Metaphors provide powerful clues to help us step outside the position of "I'm right—you're wrong" patterns. Here's a great story about a young father having problems with his 13-year old son. He changed this relationship pattern so he could listen to and understand what was important to his son by turning himself into a DVD player and hitting the pause button. When he stopped trying to convince the son he was wrong, the father learned new information that changed his perception. His empathy for his son increased. This created what is called a "mind shift" for the father. He bridged the gap between their differences and they came up with an outcome that was surprisingly good for both of them. This new way of talking improved their relationship and set a new pattern to talk about the hard stuff.
These metaphors could mean people are feeling betrayed, vulnerable, not valued or acknowledged, to name a few emotions. Focusing on and being curious about what is underneath the statement fosters understanding.
Think of a conflict you had in the past that didn't end well. What metaphors would you use to describe this conflict? How would you describe the situation now? Your language will reveal clues about what was troubling you. Instead of being abandoned, you might have felt it was important to you to spend more quality time together, as opposed to saying "You don't care about me." Which message would be more helpful or useful? One position is blaming and the other states what is wanted or needed.
I will leave you with one of the more recent things I learned from Oscar at a workshop in Hawaii. I asked him, "If you are an enlightened communicator do you still have conflicts?" His response was, "Yes. You just get off it quicker." Developing self-observation has been a valuable practice both in my work as a mediator and in my relationships.
Over the years that I have been teaching this theory, I think this concept holds up. I have also learned from my personal and professional life that defensiveness often hijacks our best efforts to manage conflict. It is too easy to believe our movie is more correct than the other person's movie. Changing these patterns is life work and self-observation helps when you're in the labyrinth of the hard stuff. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-o25V5hcGj03B4H | Described by its leaders as "the non-profit for non-profits," Go Frankfort has its roots in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Brad Thomas and a group of friends wanted to do something for their community but weren't sure what. Gradually, they discovered the many needs of non-profits. "There were a lot of people doing a lot of great things," said Thomas, who is now president of Go Frankfort and works in the state economic development cabinet.
Over the years, the group has built picnic tables, painted murals and built retaining walls. Saturday's array of projects reflects the group's versatility. Teams painted a railing at a community center, helped underprivileged kids shop with the cops, and cleaned overgrown weeds from Greenhill Cemetery, a still-in-use black cemetery where some historical sections have fallen into disrepair.
At first, other non-profits seemed uncertain of what to make of Go Frankfort, said another organizer, Sarah Jon Gaddis.
"I don't think any of them thought we were going to follow through," said Gaddis, a geologist and business owner.
But they did and, over time, they found a way to help the non-profits and discovered ways for those groups to help one another. For example, a non-profit that replaced lights on a Frankfort T-ball field donated the old lights to the Josephine Sculpture Park for use in its amphitheater.
"It's good for them to learn that they are a part of something that is so much bigger," said another Go Frankfort organizer, Greg Hardison, who works for the Kentucky Historical Society. Aside from the work days, the group also puts on twice-a-year fund-raising dodgeball tournaments. Teams dress in costumes, and victors are awarded the "Golden Wrench," an homage to the Ben Stiller movie Dodgeball.
"What I am proudest of is the way people have become engaged," said Thomas, who said the Go Frankfort model could easily be replicated in other Kentucky cities.
On Saturday, a busload of Kentucky State University freshmen came out to help, and many ended up at Greenhill, cutting thick vines from fences and cleaning debris from grave sites dating back more than 100 years. A group of students is researching a long-forgotten paupers section and hoping to erect a plaque to honor those dead.
"I think the people who are buried here deserve respect," student Chantler Jernigan said. "We all came down to make sure that they had a nice place to rest in peace."
Lindsay Barnes, a teacher at Capital Day School in Frankfort, was glad to have a chance to help in her community. She brought a troop of eighth-graders to paint a railing at the Kings Center, a community center.
"I hope they have a better understanding of not only what is in their community and in their greater community but how they can give back," she said.
One of her students, Medora Jones, 13, said, "We get to do something that helps people, and it just feels really good when you are done. Plus, we get our 15 hours of community service, which really helps. We need that to graduate." | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-w25V5hRtaNiqu_ | The Malta Individual Investor Program (IIP) was introduced by the Government of Malta by virtue of Legal Notice 47 of 2014, paving the way for a new vein of foreign direct investment into the economic and social development of the country. Successful applicants under this program are bestowed the privilege of Maltese citizenship by naturalization under discretionary grant of the Maltese government. Upon receiving approval in principle, the successful applicant must satisfy various investment conditions, chief amongst which is a monetary contribution to the Maltese Government, payable into the newly set up National Development and Social Fund.
The minimum investment which can be made individually under the Cypriot Programme is €5 million, unless he opts for the collective investment scheme, whereby he can invest €2.5 million, as long as he participates in a collective investment scheme with a total value of at least 12.5 million, together with investment in property of at least €500,000. On the other hand, the total cost of the Maltese Programme totals to €1.15 million for the main applicant, together with a contribution by the spouse of €25,000 and €50,000 for every unmarried child between 18 and 26 years and dependent parents, making it the more attractive scheme between the two from a cost perspective.
Whereas the Cypriot Programme, applicants are not required to live on the island prior or during the application, or after the citizenship has been granted, the Maltese Programme necessitates evidence of a genuine link with Malta and citizenship is granted after 1 year from effective date of commencement of this genuine link with Malta.
Thus, considering mainly the rather demanding investment requirements under the Cypriot Programme, compared to the Maltese, overall, the latter seems to be the most attractive.
Please contact us for further details. All the services can be tailored to meet your requirements. View our Malta Individual Investor Programme online brochure.

BkiUZ-w25V5hZMvJmLX1 | Cacao nibs are minimally processed pieces of the cacao bean. While being used in making chocolate for centuries, they have grown in popularity in the modern culinary sphere for other purposes. Cacao nibs are deliciously nutritious little morsels that not only add an intense chocolate flavor to foods but also a subtle crunch. Learn where they come from and how to use them in cooking.
The word cacao and cocoa be thought of interchangeably. The cacao bean (actually a seed pod) comes from the Theobroma tree, which is also known as the cacao or cocoa tree. People have been enjoying the culinary benefits of the cacao tree from around 1400 to 1500 BC in Mesoamerica. Artifacts from ancient Aztecs reveal that a beverage made from cocoa beans had been consumed, but it was unsweetened and much different than the hot cocoa beverage we think of today. Cacao beans were also used as currency across Mesoamerica, prior to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire.
Today, cocoa beans are grown in tropical regions of the world that are in a narrow belt 10 degrees on either side of Equator. The main producers are in Brazil, Ecuador, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote D'Ivore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
Cacao nibs are simply a part of the cacao seed, or bean, that has been harvested, fermented, dried, cleaned, roasted, cracked, and then removed from the shell. This results in cacao nibs, which are ready to enjoy as is, or more often ground into a smooth paste which is known as chocolate liquor a very important ingredient in chocolate making.
Cacao nibs have all the benefits of eating dark chocolate, without the added sugar. They are high in fiber, protein, and antioxidants, and contain the same mood-boosting chemicals and lipids that make a bar of dark chocolate so darn satisfying.
You can purchase cacao nibs online, and they are also available from many natural foods and specialty shops as well as making their way into well-stocked grocery stores.
Add some pizzazz to your morning oatmeal by adding a teaspoon or two of cocoa nibs for a fun texture and chocolate boost.
Put a few tablespoons into a chocolate smoothie to make it even more chocolaty.
Create an easy dessert by melting 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips along with 1/4 cup peanut butter. Mix in a tablespoon of cocoa nibs and spread it onto a silicone mat. Chill for 20 minutes in the freezer for a delicious treat.
Stir them in a delicious tomato-based sauce and allow to simmer. Once cooked, blend them in a blender until smooth and use as a pasta or enchilada sauce. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ-w25V5hcGj03CHw | Goodwill isn't a balance sheet item that most investors give much thought to, but with $9 billion of Amazon.com Inc.'s (AMZN) Whole Foods Market purchase price coming from goodwill, they may want to think again.
"It's a very significant premium for a company that's in an old industry like grocery shopping," said Atwater in the CNBC report. "The issue is going to be whether strategically they can create the value that is now reflected in the balance sheet in the form of that goodwill."
Much of the concerns when it comes to goodwill lies in the acquisition not being a success. But judging from Amazon's commentary on that front, so far it's off to a good start. On a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter results with Wall Street, Amazon Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said Whole Foods had an operating profit and was the main reason the company had $4.5 billion in physical store sales. According to Forbes, Olsavsky said it was "slightly better" than the e-commerce giants past guidance. He said the company is focused on lowering Whole Foods prices more than initially. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

BkiUZ03xK0-nUGYe2_r3 | Top 3 suggestions for a great summer!
Here in Quebec, we absolutely cherish and take full advantage of our summers. Hot temperatures bring a lot of people to the beach, long days entice us to get ice cream after supper and long weekends are perfect for picnics in the park.
These activities are essential for a memorable summer, but despite getting out of the house, we can end up being quite sedentary. We want you to get the most out of your summer activities, and here are our tricks so that you can do just that.
Some of us like getting tanned during the summer months and tanning on the beach is not the only way to get that sun kissed glow! We encourage you to get moving in the sun by playing volleyball with your family, frisbee with your friends or going swimming with the kids.
By taking the time to move, you'll feel much more energized while also taking advantage of that beautiful weather!
Much like beach days, we encourage you to bring your favorite game to play with the family while waiting for the food to cook. If the park is near your house, you can always walk or take your bike instead of the car.
Although we know that for some people, chips are the perfect picnic snack, we also recommend bringing an assortment of vegetables, their high water content and refreshing crunch are extremely satisfying to your taste buds.
We are the first to say that ice cream during the summer is an absolute must! Instead of driving to the ice cream parlor, walk there and back to enjoy it to the fullest! Or when preparing the cones at home, fill the bottom with fresh blueberries or raspberries before adding the scoop of your favorite ice cream.
We wish you a summer to your liking! | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ0425V5hd-427WCJ | We all know that a Green City is no more an option, but a necessity now. We have seen technology helping out most of the social problems so far. So, it is no other place that we can look for a hopeful nod, other than technology to help in creating a Green City too, I guess.
There has been a lot of efforts taken by the environmentalists for maintaining the planet green, but menacing operations like tree felling and the greed of compromising the environment to real estate has now crossed all the limits.
Can you suggest ways, how technology can intervene and stop this self-destructive habit and take some positive measures against it?
You can also share the latest news on Green Projects that you have come across or anything that you feel that would be relevant to this issue.
This is more of social problem than technical.
Honestly speaking making apartments on every square inch out there is not going to make any city green with one garden added in between the apartment. That won't sustain the requirement of the greenery that can adjust with oxygen requirement of this nation. So the real estate market needs to be controlled. As they are going after the hill station and also nearby small villages. They are pretty much being parasite on the green region of this planet. Even if there is no need for the residential plots, even then they are making it fake need and mining the place.
This is how pune lost its green region. And now the real estate is moving towards nearby villages and the cities. The same can be said about bangalore and nearby regions.
Technology can't create lost species which are at the brink of extinction. It can't even create the various plants and herbs that are dying out due to environment issues.
How to stop this? Only population control can limit this. Technology can't create nature. Because if creating nature were to be possible, we could have seen the nature being terraformed on mars too. We are 20 years away from that to happen. So in between we have no other choice than to force the population limit to stop ruining the planet.
But retaining what we still have is possible. And technology is only a tool for human society. As medical science, agricultural science and environmental science stood by social problems, they can do the same for this too.
It's only the willpower, the mindset that needs to create the pressure of making a green city. And technology can help in the process by materializing the will to make it a win.
I do not think technology can lend any helping hand unless the mindset changes. The impetus on profitability has been causing havoc with nature. You cannot expect technology to work wonders and you can go on killing everything that is green.
Technology can only help you if you are ready to make amends to the mistakes that have been committed in the past. Instead of that, what we have been seeing is more damage to the nature.
Interesting. Technology is one of the reason for non-Green city and polluted atmosphere though technology is need of the hour. Now, technology has to work back to get the Green city across which is not an easy task but challenges as well.
Why? One can't replace the earlier natural one from the latest artificial one easily with the help of any source including technology innovation or gadget etc. For example, the green and natural source field changed to tallest building, official premises, residential and commercial complexes, now, who can replace them easily and practically? This scenario not only in cities but town and few villages across.
Is it possible to stop expanding cities? Will authority take care of it? Even if it is stopped, how will get back the natural places (Green city) where already extended and developed and destroyed the greenery? There are many question raises on this. It is too late to plan on this, however, one can plan for current and future development for such infrastructure.
We all know that the damage is done. But it was not technology which has done the massacre, it is the twisted preferences of the human society which puts illogical greed in front of the simple logic of survival. Technology is only a tool which you can make use for whatever you would be doing. It is only a way of reducing manual tasks into automated ones.
So, if technology has helped in destroying the paradise, it would be the only one, which can help in retrieving it back. How?
1. Technology has already done a good job in tracking, identifying and record keeping. So technology can help tracking the number of tree felling in an area, it can keep record of the pollution level of a particular place and can create alert and help in identifying the culprits.
2. It can invent methodology of making constructions without interfering with the natural resources.
3. Agricultural science and technology have joined hands where big trees can be transplanted to another place. So even if a particular place needs to be vacated, the trees of that place could be saved through transplantation.
4. Social media is also a part of modern technology, and through this we can create wonders by spreading awareness among people on this issue.
5. Solar and other renewable energies can save the planet from further damage and that can be incorporated with the construction industry. That will help in reducing the network of wiring in the city, because of which a huge amount of trees are sacrificed.
6. Lastly, in this thread itself, though we all have expressed our different opinions, we all share a common attitude towards the current situation. And it is evident that many more will be out there who share the same view about this menacing real estate, as we do. So can't we join hands and outnumber these self-destructive people and stop them doing further damage to the world?
Rather than the technology, it is the human greed that has destroyed the greenery. Sadly enough, they took the help from technology and we now stand a chance to blame the technology for the loss the the green cities. There are many ways with which greenery can be restored.
Roof gardens can be a good example. One should not forget that it was technology that made this possibility a reality. Opting for bio fuels has been a resourceful idea that came from the technology. Only thing is we have got used to certain style of life and doing things. Unless that changes, you can not expect technology to work wonders for the restoration of the greenery.
Let there be enthusiasm and real interest to restore the greener cities. Technology can always lend a helping hand.
Technology can help in some of the things but the issue is that has affected the nature. And nature is something that technology can't recreate. For example, we can purify the air to some extent but can't make the air that helps nature. Because nature has it's own way to manage the air density and help the biodiversity.
Technology can't be helpful to make the rain either. That is why the country often suffers from either drought or the flood randomly. And this can't be controlled in any way. It all takes time for technology to evolve. And we have to focus on the things that could help nature rather than destroy the nature.
I think technology can't answer the problems created at much rapid rate. This means the problem symptoms need to be taken care of at first place. Because if we destroy the nature and then focus on technology to fix the problem then we;d be in utopian society that we used to watch in movies few decades back. Technology should be answer to problems and should not be problem itself.
Human can be greed only for some cases which destroy the nature, obviously, and can't be avoided easily or immediately. For example, even though technology and computers or advanced gadgets like (Tablet PC, Smartphone etc.) are there for content or text but still human needs 'Paper' which destroys the nature directly or indirectly on its process (cut the tree source to make a paper). Do you think, it can be stopped immediately by 'Go Green initiative'?
That is exactly we need to take care of. When we have such a huge number of gadgets, why do we turn back to the old style of taking notes?
Same goes for Banking. I do not clearly understand the need for using paper in the banking transactions. I make it a point not to choose an option to get a receipt at an ATM when I make a withdrawal. I never use checks to make payments anywhere. I make it a point to make all payments through electronic transfer. I have also set all my bills to the email mode.
That is exactly how we can use technology for the benefit of the nature. Instead of blaming others, we can ourselves begin with something, right?
Do you think Government will accept it and process the various stamp and registered paper through just e-document (e-paper / e-register) without required actual physical stamp paper? If so, when they will initiate this one, I mean just e-document without real paper? I know that they are doing it both (e-document and physical stamp paper since few years).
In case if Bank stopped the paper work then there will be many issues including hacking and on. The latest development of e-registration, e-check, e-deposit or withdrawal and on though help but Bank needed paper for physical proof including from the beginning registration of Pass book to using for a long and closing or settling the account. One of the safest process is paper too as proof.
The next one is, like we receive pack and parcel from online shopping sites, items within 'corrugated box' which produced from natural wooden pulp and paper process? Do you think they will stop corrugated box manufacturing? When?
In case if they stop one product or two then the other few new products will release which also again related to nature's help and destroying the nature, slowly.
There are many questions as such pertaining to nature and destroying it by using its source.
With the responses here what I am feeling is, we are losing hope too soon. We are writers and we have the power of words, logic, understanding and freedom of thought and expression. If we lose hope who else will raise it?
Moreover, in a vibrant site like Techulator, it is expected that we do something to synchronize technology with everyday issues as well as social ones.
We are tech savvy people who are almost 24 hrs in touch with information technology. There are many initiatives running across the globe to correct the mess that have been done through ages. I expected that we would pull all these pieces of information here and create an awareness that "Going Green IS Possible even Now".
Not to lose hope. I understand everyone's concern including myself against the nature's incident, we can only concern and write the reality that is happening around and it doesn't mean I am against the nature or its process.
I just put forward few points those in fact destroying the nature from some process directly or indirectly, may be there will be more as such that I am unable to recall at the moment.
Yeah, we can bring forth some more points likewise as an awareness which can be of helpful to overcome from such an issue to move toward Go Green initiative.
Friends, I have jotted down some hopeful ways technology has been working towards the Go Green initiative through an article. Please post your comment there, whatever you feel about it.
The article you have written is more important to know by everyone. The transportation of tree is really good innovative idea in technology. In past, we won't have this kind of method to shift one tree to another place. Instead we cut the trees. This cause the age of tree gets down and new born plant will starts growing. The cloud seeding is more useful idea. It helps artificially making rain in particular area. Naturally it is not possible, but artificially it could be. The eco friendly construction technology popularly knows as Go Green. This makes eco system more useful in humanity. Building houses in trees is well known idea. We usually cut trees to build house. Instead use tree as house for friendly nature. Each and every idea really makes technology a good come back for human needs. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ0425V5hdn6rOoBc | On September 29th, talented trumpeter Keyon Harrold will release his new album The Mugician via Legacy/Mass Appeal.
The album will see the singer collaborating with a number of world class musicians and artists, from Gary Clark, Jr. to Bilal to Pharoahe Monch.
The latest single from that project is the sultry "Wayfaring Traveler," which features Grammy-winner Robert Glasper, Jermaine Holmes from The Vanguards, and Georgia Anne-Muldrow. The song is a romantic one, where Muldrow and Holmes portray themselves as lovers.
The track is definitely worth your time.
Listen below and check back for us on Sept. 14th, when Harrold will come to our Brooklyn office for a Facebook Live experience. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ0425V5hegR8WcE9 | He faces Coldplay in the album category while the band is also nominated for best pop group performance for their collaboration with The Chainsmokers on Something Just Like This.
Bruno Mars took home album of the year for "24K Magic", record of the year for the single of the same title and song of the year for "That's What I Like".
Jay-Z, the leading nominee with eight, walked away empty handed Sunday - a year after his wife lost album of the year to Adele, causing fans and peers to criticize the Recording Academy for not properly rewarding Beyonce's bold "Lemonade" project. He was joined Sunday by U2's Bono and The Edge, and also Dave Chappelle - who told jokes in between Lamar's performance. Double winners included Jason Isbell, Justin Hurwitz and CeCe Winans.
McEntire won an early Grammy for best roots gospel album for, "Sing It Now: Songs Of Faith & Hope". Lamar last performed at the Grammys in 2016, where he appeared in a prisoner uniform and chains, then rapped in front of a towering bonfire for To Pimp a Butterfly cuts "The Blacker the Berry" and "Alright".
Childish Gambino, the alter ego of actor Donald Glover, won his first ever Grammy for "Redbone" which was named best traditional R&B performance.
The ceremony has been billed as a battle between Lamar and Jay-Z with both nominated in the bigger categories including album of the year. And the Grammys are nearly guaranteeing that this year will be historic: Four of the five album of the year nominees are rap and R&B-based albums from black or Latino artists. Mars also danced his heart out on stage with Cardi B in their performance of "Finesse." The album also was named best engineered album, which recognizes the work of sound engineers.
If Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's smash hit "Despacito" had won Song or Record of the year, it would have marked the first time a Spanish language track won in either category.
Cara said she was wearing a white rose to show support to women not just in the entertainment industry.

BkiUZ0425V5hegR8WcKH | Proper daily skin care is not an easy task. Acne, dryness, sun damage, and aging are just a few of the things that keep your skin from looking its best. Throughout your whole life, your skin will develop fresh levels, which is why it is important to know what needs to be done to keep skin looking great. Continue reading to learn advice on how to enjoy beautiful and healthy skin.
Apply moisturizer every single day. Moisturizers keeps skin looking healthy and prevent skin from drying out. During the winter, you skin is prone to becoming dry; therefore, you must use moisturizer daily. You can keep your skin looking good by keeping it moisturized.
TIP! Consider making a home made mask to use on your skin. Grind raw almonds along with milk and olive oil until it forms a semi-smooth paste.
Avoid using large amounts of makeup. Many types of foundation, concealer and powder can build up in your pores. This may cause or worsen existing acne. Makeup can cause an infection to form if applied on acne sores. Limit your exposure to makeup until you have a clearer complexion. Do not use toners or concealers, either, as these also clog the pores.
Although regular washing helps eliminate dead skin cells from your face, you should also utilize exfoliating. Using an exfoliating glove, a scrub, or plain granulated sugar can help get rid of dead skin on your face. To prevent skin damage and irritation, only do this one or two times a week.
TIP! Warm moisturizer works better than cold. This allows your skin to absorb it quicker; thus, increasing the moisturizer's effectiveness.
After you go to the gym, remember to take a shower to eliminate sweat. Just washing your face using a towel won't eliminate all the bacteria that can cause irritation or clogged pores. In addition, use warm water when showering.
TIP! You must remember that your skin is actually a part of you. Skin is the largest organ in your body.
Never go to bed without first taking off your makeup. Your skin needs rest in order to repair itself. When makeup is not removed before retiring, you're preventing the skin from healing and not giving it the oxygen it needs to breathe and repair itself. It only takes a few moments to remove your makeup, so do your skin a favor and take care of it.
Use a a sunscreen of at least 15 SPF to protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun which can damage your skin. Applying sunscreen can help protect your skin from sunburns, wrinkles and other types of damage. Taking this preventative measure will help your skin stay smooth and devoid of wrinkles and fine lines.
TIP! Vitamin H plays a significant role in the health of your skin. Taking this vitamin results in a healthy, radiant appearance.
Check out ingredients on the products you own to stop redness. Opt for products that contain very few ingredients. If your skin is sensitive, using too many ingredients can work against you. It can cause it to become a lot more red. You might even have a break out.
The concepts in this piece can help you on the way to better skin. It's important that you keep in mind that your skin needs to be taken care of so that it looks great, no matter how old you are. If you use the information that you read in this article, you will be pleasantly surprised at how great your skin looks. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ07xK0-nUGYe2_ta | We are pleased to also announce the Health Policy & Advocacy section on the ASPHO website where you can access Advocacy Brief issues and other relevant information.
On the morning of May 17th we set out on Capitol Hill to meet with our respective Congressmen, Congresswomen and Senators. As the sole member of the Massachusetts contingent this year, I made my way to each office to either request support for the STAR Act or to thank the teams of the many who have already signed on. The collective effort put forth on this rainy day resulted in signing on a majority of House Representatives (the bill currently has 247 signatures) and a notable number of Senators (22 signatures).
Childhood Cancer Action Days and the work by the Alliance for Childhood Cancer demonstrate the power of collaboration. By bringing together advocates, patients, families, physicians, and many more to develop a collective "ask," we were able to walk into the offices of our nation's leaders with a bipartisan-supported law that has the potential to impact the lives of thousands of patients and families affected by cancer. To be effective in moving forward with increased funding and support for patients, families, clinicians, and researchers alike, we must continue to work collectively. As researchers and clinicians of ASPHO, we lend a unique perspective that compliments the stories and experiences of patients, survivors, and families, and can therefore lend additional weight to argue for government support.
Establishment of the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence: New center will unite cancer product regulatory review to enhance coordination and leverage the combined skills and clinical expertise across FDA centers.
Establishment of Fast-Track Review for Cancer Treatment-Related Patents: This will allow any applicant to opt into an accelerated review program for patent applications in select fields of cancer therapy.
Making Clinical Research Trials More Accessible to Cancer Patients: The National Cancer Institute is re-designing how patients and oncologists learn about and find information about clinical cancer trials. This will include making clinical data hosted on cancer.gov available through an application programming interface (API) to advocacy groups, academia, and others in the cancer ecosystem.
Need to create incentives for pediatric cancer drug development if significant promise in children but not in adults.
ASPHO joined with other members of the Alliance for Childhood Cancer in supporting the Advancing Drug Development for Childhood Cancer: Policy Principles to Optimize the Pediatric Drug Laws. This report provides recommendations on possible modifications to the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA) and the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) to be more effective in the development of new therapies for pediatric cancer. The recommendations include such items as expanding the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) authority to require pediatric studies for new agents in development for adults under certain conditions when the indication is not the same in adults and children and encouraging earlier pediatric discussion for drugs for serious and life-threatening conditions.
The BPCA and PREA were permanently reauthorized by Congress in 2012 with the requirement that the programs be reviewed every five years. The first review has been completed and a report was due to Congress in July 2016. The FDA has indicated that they are in support of some of the recommendations put forth in the Alliance's report in order to strengthen both BPCA and PREA.
ASPHO joined with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other pediatric and patient advocacy organizations in endorsing the Ensuring Children's Access to Specialty Care Act (H.R. 1859/S. 2782). This legislation would amend the Public Health Service Act to include pediatric subspecialties in primary health services on the list of eligible providers for the National Health Service Corps loan repayment program.
ASPHO joined other healthcare providers in a letter of opposition to sections of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. The sections in question have the potential to eliminate pediatricians, ob-gyns, and other providers from the Military Health System as well as certain Department of Defense Graduate Medical Education programs that do not directly support combat operations of the United States military.
ASPHO was invited to join two coalitions related to Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) including the Sickle Cell Disease Coalition (SCDC) and the Emergency Department Sickle Cell Care Coalition (EDSC³). SCDC is being convened by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) with the mission of helping to amplify the voice of the SCD stakeholder community, promote awareness and improve outcomes for individuals with SCD. The coalition will focus on promoting research, clinical care, education, training and advocacy, and will be comprised of public health, research and provider organizations, patient groups, faith-based organizations, federal agencies, and funding organizations.
EDSC³ is being convened by the American College of Emergency Physicians and will focus on the dissemination of research findings and the education of emergency care providers on the appropriate management of SCD patients. The coalition will also support advocacy efforts at the federal, state, and local agencies, support outreach and educational efforts to patients and families, and develop appropriate performance metrics to improve the emergency care of patients with sickle cell disease.
With not much time left on the legislative calendar, Congress is continuing work on a Fiscal Year 2017 budget. Of specific interest to ASPHO is the passage of the Senate and House committee versions of the Labor, Health, and Human Services (LHHS) budget which includes several provisions related to pediatric hematology/oncology.
The Senate and House budgets vary on spending levels and will need to be sent to conference committee to iron out any differences. Agreement on a spending bill needs to be made by October 1, 2016. It is likely that Congress will not pass a full budget and instead pass a continuing resolution to maintain funding at the current level for Fiscal Year 2017.
The bipartisan 21st Century Cures Act was passed by the House of Representatives in July by a vote of 344-77 (170 Republicans and 174 Democrats). Provisions of the bill include reform of the current standards and appropriations for biomedical research, an increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, and a reduction of the regulations on access to medical research and the testing processes of new drugs.
The Senate has been working on its version of the House bill, the Innovations for Healthier Americans Act, and has been taking a more piecemeal approach by holding committee hearings on individual sections of the legislation. A hearing held on March 9, 2016, included the passage of the Advancing Hope Act of 2015 (S. 1878) which reauthorizes the pediatric drug voucher program implemented through the Creating Hope Act. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) expects a vote on the bill after the November election.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule in March 2016 that would make significant changes to how physician-administered drugs are paid under the Medicare program. The proposed Medicare Part B Drug Payment Model would test whether changing the add-on payment to 2.5 percent plus a flat fee payment of $16.80 per drug per day changes prescribing incentives and leads to improved quality and value. The underlying reason for the proposed rule was to take some sort of action to address rising drug costs.
The proposed model was met with support from patient advocacy organizations but with major concerns from the hematology and oncology community, including the issues that the "demonstration project" would include all providers and suppliers furnishing and billing for Part B drugs without first beginning with a smaller subset of providers to test the model as well as absence of stakeholders in the development of the model. Members of Congress also have concerns with the model and the Senate Finance Committee recently convened a hearing to question CMS' Chief Medical Officer on the specifics of the model. A bill introduced by Congressman Larry Buschon, MD (R-IN), would block implementation of the proposed rule.
CMS has indicated that they will not publish a final rule until 2019, which is the latest they could publish by statute. Many opponents of the rule are seeing this as a win and there still is no indication from CMS on whether or not they will consider tabling the proposed model altogether. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
BkiUZ0A25V5hc_Oxu6IT | The SDRAM Cycle Length BIOS feature is same as the SDRAM CAS Latency Time BIOS feature. It controls the delay (in clock cycles) between the assertion of the CAS signal and the availability of the data from the target memory cell. It also determines the number of clock cycles required for the completion of the first part of a burst transfer. In other words, the lower the CAS latency, the faster memory reads or writes can occur.
Please note that some memory modules may not be able to handle the lower latency and may lose data. Therefore, while it is recommended that you reduce the SDRAM CAS Latency Time to 2 or 2.5 clock cycles for better memory performance, you should increase it if your system becomes unstable.
Interestingly, increasing the CAS latency time will often allow the memory module to run at a higher clock speed. So, if you hit a snag while overclocking your SDRAM modules, try increasing the CAS latency time.
Whenever a read command is issued, a memory row is activated using the RAS (Row Address Strobe). Then, to read data from the target memory cell, the appropriate column is activated using the CAS (Column Address Strobe).
Multiple cells can be read from the same active row by applying the appropriate CAS signals. However, there is a short delay after each assertion of the CAS signal before data can be read from the target memory cell. This delay is known as the CAS latency.
The appropriate delay for your memory module is reflected in its rated timings. In JEDEC specifications, it is the first number in the three or four number sequence. For example, if your memory module has the rated timings of 2-3-4-7, its rated CAS latency would be 2 clock cycles.
Because column activation occurs every time a new memory cell is read from, the effect of CAS latency on memory performance is significant, especially with SDR SDRAM. Its effect is less obvious in DDR SDRAM.
This is particularly true for DDR SDRAM memory since CAS latency has much less effect on performance with such memory, compared to the older SDR memory. The improvement in overclockability with higher CAS latencies cannot be underestimated. If you are interested in overclocking your DDR SDRAM modules, you might want to consider increasing the CAS latency. The huge increase in overclockability far outweighs the minor loss in performance.

BkiUZ0E25V5hZMvJmDtq | Cooler than last week!, big clouds in the sky.
This was Friday July, 26. about 10 A.M. I'm standing at the door of the "Cathedral" it's a shed in back of the cabin, It's Ned's shed, the work shed, I use it when I'm there, so there I was and here's the view of 6th Lake and the "bay" and bridge to the boat house. Why not, do a small study to try and get the values and the colors right? The camera simplifies, but there's so much more there.
The camera really does "read" the world differently than the eye., or being there. So there's a lot more to it than just simplifying, but I don't think it's nameable.
This was fun to do; a sketch, quickly before things change too much.
As the morning wore on, the light moved into the picture, it added interest, but was hard to chase. I had to stop, because I'm not adding anything, I'm just chasing it and getting nowhere.
This was Saturday July 27th My 174th painting since the great re-boot. Here is where the princess enters, the princess is a 12' aluminum boat with a 3 hp Johnson, 1962 (I think) Alane gave it that name probably around 1964, and we are yet to call it the Queen. I'ts the boat in last week's blog. and I took it to get here.
I landed at Arnold's rock, north shore of 7th Lake, and hiked down the path along the lake between camping lean-to's and found this spot. There were so few openings that when I found one I had to see if I could make it work, yes, it could. Except here is where the horse fly's come in and bite the hell out of me.
The first block in. I was trying to keep the darks dark enough and I think I got it.
Here is where I ended up, although I worked on it a bit back in the Cathedral, I'm not sure what to think about the graphic- hard- edged quality of the tree in front of the lake. It too had it's challenges and I like to see where it is that I'm able to work it.
So ended the Adirondack big three week extravaganza that included lots of fun for all. I'll be back soon, but there's nothing like a decent chunk of time at the cabin. I'm exhausted, but happy. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

BkiUZ0TxK0-nUh8iGqn4 | More undergraduate students at the University of Maine have the opportunity to take part in innovative research. This experience carries through into their graduate studies and careers.
The Maginnis Lab has students who started their research as first-years and continue it as graduate students. Melissa Maginnis, assistant professor of microbiology, oversees the lab and enjoys mentoring student researchers and watching them excel throughout their academic careers.
Ashley Soucy, a doctoral biomedical student, began as a student research assistant in the Maginnis Lab on her first day as a UMaine undergraduate. She believes the passion Maginnis has for research sparks interest in students across all academic levels to become active members of the scientific community.
Maginnis opened the lab in 2014 to study the human JC polyomavirus. She says 50 to 80 percent of the population carries the virus – but healthy humans will not show symptoms. The virus resides in the kidneys but will migrate to the brain in an immunosuppressed person and cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which damages nerves and is fatal.
Funding allows the lab to offer undergraduates a chance to conduct research and receive stipends. Maginnis has had students funded by the Center for Undergraduate Research (CUGR), the Maine Space Grant Consortium (MSGC), the Radke Undergraduate Research Fellowship and had grant support from the UMaine NIH Proposal Submission Incentive Program.
Maginnis usually has a wait-list of students eager to work in the lab each year. Five graduate and three undergraduate students currently work in the lab on individual projects.
Maginnis believes undergraduate participation in research, presenting at symposiums and conferences, and working as a team in the lab provides students with invaluable experience. She encourages them to practice communicating research to the public and build strong foundations for their careers.
CUGR recently released a trend in upward numbers of undergraduates seeking fellowships and research opportunities. Almost 800 undergraduates presented their research at the 2018 UMaine Student Symposium. The Maginnis Lab will submit eight graduate and undergraduate projects for this year's event.
The Maginnis Lab has been funded by the Maine INBRE through the NIH-NIGMS from 2014-2019.
Ashley Soucy won the award for "Best Undergraduate Presentation in Biomedical Sciences" at the 2018 UMSS and was supported by a CUGR Summer Research Fellowship, Maine INBRE Summer Fellowship, INBRE Junior Fellowship, and Senior Fellowship. From her work in the Maginnis Lab she earned a second authorship on a paper recently accepted for publication in Journal Virology as a Spotlight article of significant interest. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

251 | Jan 23, 1985 - Precision Surgical Instruments, Inc.
A hand held surgical instrument for use in removing body tissue from a human body. It is particularly useful in arthroscopic surgery of joints such as of the knee or shoulder, but may also be used to remove tissue from the stomach, abdomen, jaw or other portions of the body. An auger-like helical cutter is motor driven at speeds in excess of 1,000 rpm within a stationary outer cylindrical sheath member. The helical cutter is ground to provide a generally concave distal end which gives it a generally fish-tailed appearance and the ability to cut endwise, i.e., to effect an axial boring cut. In addition, the cylindrical sheath member is provided with a pair of longitudinally extending, diametrically opposed tab members at its distal end. Each of the tabs has at least one longitudinally extending edge thereof ground to provide a cutting edge which co-acts with the auger-like cutter blade to sever body tissue insertable between the tabs.
This invention relates to a hand held surgical instrument for removing body tissue from a human body and, more particularly, to such a surgical instrument that is particularly useful in arthroscopic surgery.
Heretofore it has been known to use coaxially mounted hollow tubes in the performance of arthroscopic knee surgery. Side cutting is effected by providing co-acting side edges of the tubes which diverge as cutting proceeds in the proximal direction. The outer tube is stationary and is provided with a side port which is opened and closed on each cycle by the inner rotating tube. Vacuum is used to remove the severed body tissue which is sequentially admitted through the port in the outer tube and then withdrawn through the inner tube. U.S. Pat. No. 4,203,444 to Bonnell et al and U.S. Pat. No. 4,274,414 to Johnson et al are examples of the previously described prior art.
These two patents are deficient in a number of respects. First of all, because the blades are made from tubular members, radial deflection is a critical problem. Bonnell et al acknowledges that even slight deflection, even on the order of one or two thousandths of an inch, of the rotating blade radially relative to the stationary blade can result in jamming of tissues cut from the knee. Secondly, neither of the devices in these two patents are useful in cutting straight ahead, i.e., to give an axial bore cut. Both patents are used for side cutting only. Thirdly, because of the manner in which tissue is introduced into the cutters in these patents, namely, by opening and closing a port in the side of a tube, the speed of cutting is much too slow. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,203,444 to Bonnell rotational speeds are limited to 200 rpm or below.
In accordance with the present invention the aforementioned difficulties and shortcomings of the known prior art are effectively overcome in the practice of the present invention. In particular, an auger-like cutter blade is rotated within a stationary cylindrical sheath member which supports the cutter blade throughout its length. Both the auger-like cutter blade and the cylindrical sheath are made from stainless steel and deflection of one relative to the other is not a problem.
The cylindrical sheath member is provided with a pair of longitudinally extending, diametrically opposed tabs at its distal end. A cutting edge is provided on a longitudinally dinally extending edge of each of the tabs which co-acts with a helical cutting edge of the auger-like cutter blade to provide side cutting of body tissue insertable between the tabs. In addition, the auger-like blade is provided with a generally concave distal end ground to provide a generally fish-tailed appearance at its outer end terminating in two diametrically opposed sharp portions capable of effecting an axial boring cut.
Finally, the surgical instrument is designed for very rapid cutting speeds. In many applications, including arthroscopic knee surgery and arthroscopic shoulder surgery a rotational speed for the auger-like helical cutter blade of about 3,000 rpm is used. The surgical instrument of the present invention is adaptable to the skill of the operating surgeon. A lower speed of 1,000 rpm is possible while upper rotational speeds of 10,000 rpm or even higher are attainable for delicate operations such as an operation on the human eye.
FIG. 14 is a fragmentary perspective of another modified sheath member with a vertical cross section cut.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, there is illustrated a surgical instrument indicated generally at 20 with the instrument being inserted into a small puncture site below the patella of the knee joint of a patient P. Not shown in the figure are conventional elements including another small puncture site to receive a fiber optic device to light the interior of the joint from a suitable light source which return a visual image either directly to an eye piece for the surgeon or preferably with recording cameras to a visual display which is observed by the surgeon in performing the operation. Also not specifically illustrated is the external introduction of a saline solution through another small puncture site at the knee.
A vacuum line hose 22 is illustrated attached to the surgical instrument and a pneumatic drive hose 24 drives a motor within motor assembly 78. Compressed nitrogen is usually used for this purpose. Alternatively, an electric motor can be used, although special precautions must be taken to ensure the safety of the patient, especially when saline solutions and the like are being employed.
Reference to FIG. 2 illustrates a meniscus indicated generally at 26. This meniscus is generally C-shaped in cross section and is illustrated to have a tear at 28. This is only one of a great many different configurations that a damaged meniscus may have. In order to prevent the damaged meniscus tissue from being pinched between the bones comprising the knee joint, extraneous tissue will be removed by making a cut substantially along the dashed lines 30, 32 in order to provide a relatively smooth configuration for the tissue at the site of the meniscus.
FIG. 3 illustrates in an exploded view, a number of the major elements of the surgical instrument. Thus, there is illustrated a suction housing member 34 which prior to being assembled is open at both ends as may be seen by an inspection of FIGS. 4 and 10. A cylindrical sheath member 36 is illustrated which is open at both ends and terminates at its distal end in a pair of longitudinally extending, diametrically opposed tabs 38. A vacuum tube 40 is secured to the suction housing member 34 at port 42 as seen in FIGS. 4 and 10. Vacuum tube 40 is provided with a series of hose barb seal members 44 in order to receive and retain the vacuum line hose 22.
As can be seen best in FIGS. 4 and 10, the cylindrical sheath member 36 is provided with a sealing head plug member 46 inserted into one open end of the suction housing member 34. An auger-like helical cutter blade 48 received and supported by cutter housing member indicated generally at 50 is inserted within the cylindrical sheath member and resides in closely spaced relationship thereto. FIGS. 4 and 10 also illustrate the use of an O-ring on the cutter housing member 50 so as to provide a seal with the interior of the suction housing member 34 on the side of port 42 that is remote from the cylindrical sheath member 36. A C-shaped spring retainer 54 forms a longitudinal stop for an internal bearing 56. The helical cutter 48 is provided with a thickened end shaft 66 having hub ring members 58 thereon which straddle the bearing 56. A spacer member 60 with any required shim members are used to obtain the proper longitudinal spacing for the distal end of helical cutter 48 with respect to the tab members 38. An end seal member 62 is then placed next to the spacer and/or shim members. An additional constructional feature of the cutter blade includes a pin drive member 64 diametrically inserted through the thickened end shaft 66.
A quick disconnect nut member 68 is carried or trapped on a cutter drive coupling nut member 70 by virtue of a raised boss 72 (FIG. 10) on the cutter drive coupling nut member 70. Left handed threads are provided at 74 on the cutter drive coupling nut member 70 and threaded on the exterior left hand threads 76 of motor assembly 78. A hose receptor 79 is provided for the motor assembly 78 at one end and the motor shaft 80 extends to the left at the other end in FIGS. 4 and 10. Screw 82 secures a cutter drive coupling member 84 to the shaft 80 of the motor. The cutter drive coupling member 84 is slotted at 86 and provided with a widely tapering end so as to self-seat the pin drive member 64 of the helical cutter blade 48. Spring 88 is retained within the cutter drive coupling member 84 by means of recess 90 in the cutter drive coupling member 84 and engages the end of the thickened end shaft 66 so as to urge the auger-like helical cutter blade 48 constantly toward its distal end eliminating any positional change caused by any backlash in the geared drive motor.
In order to effect a quick disconnect for the surgical instrument and to gain access to the cutting blade, the quick disconnect nut member 68 is provided with internal threads 92 engageable with external threads 94 of the suction housing member 34. By simply unscrewing this connection, the end of the cutter housing member 50, which is knurled at 95 as illustrated in FIG. 3, is simply pulled away from the cylindrical sheath member whereby any jammed tissue may be removed. Alternatively, a different size of helioal cutter 48 and cylindrical sheath 36 may be inserted.
Certain measures may be taken to minimize lodging of the tissue within the surgical instrument and these are shown in FIGS. 12-14 to include the application of straight grooves such as that shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 within the cylindrical sheath member 36 or the use of spiral grooves 96a within cylindrical sheath member 36a in FIG. 14. The direction of spiralling of the spiral grooves 96a is preferably opposite to that of the spiralling of the helix on the cutter blade 48.
Further details of the distal end of the auger-like helical cutting blade 48 and cylindrical sheath member 36 may be seen in FIGS. 5-9. In particular, one longitudinally extending edge of each of the tabs 38 is ground to provide a cutting edge 100. The edge of the helical spiral on the helical cutter blades 48 cooperate with these cutting edges 100 to provide lateral shearing of tissue which is inserted laterally between the tabs 38. The tabs 38 are undercut at 102 to provide a protective outer stop shoulder or lip for the blade 48. With the aid of spacer member 60 and any required shims, the outer edge of the cutter blade 48 is positioned from about two to about four thousandths of an inch away from the hook-like undercut portion of the tab members 38.
In addition, the auger-like helical cutting blade 48 is provided with a generally concave distal end at 104 that is ground to provide a generally fish-tailed appearance at its outer end terminating in two diametrically opposed sharp portions or types 106 so that the surgical instrument is capable of making what is called a plunge cut or an axial boring cut. To increase the stiffness of the surgical instrument, it is possible to provide increased thickness at the region of the tab members such as is shown at 108 in FIGS. 5 and 8.
It is possible to vary the details of the blade cutter to suit the skill of the surgeon as well as to vary it to accommodate different tissues that are inserted between the tab members 38. For example, the back angle or sharp edge at 106 on the helical cutter blade 48 may be varied from about 35 degrees minimum to an angle approaching 90 degrees. If this angle is too blunt, no cutting will be effected and if it is too steep, the cutting edge becomes fragile. It is also possible to vary the width of the tab members 38 of the sheath. As the width is made narrower, it is possible to cut faster. This width may be either less than the diameter of the blade or greater than the diameter of the blade. Once again the width is varied dependent upon the skill of the surgeon.
As far as the amount of suction is concerned, 27 inches of mercury is deemed to be high suction and will work very satisfactorily with the surgical instrument of the present invention. Twelve to 16 inches of mercury is considered to be marginal and if the suction is less than that, the chances of clogging the spiral groove in the auger-like helical cutter blade 48 becomes much greater. The auger-like blade with its helical groove serves as a conduit for severed tissue under the influence of the vacuum connected to vacuum tube 40.
While presently preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be recognized that the invention may be otherwise variously embodied and practiced within the scope of the claims which follow.
(3) said helical cutter blade further having at least a portion of its distal end ground to provide a concave distal end providing a generally fish tailed appearence terminating in two diametrically opposed sharp tynes so that the instrument is capable of making an axial boring cut and wherein the length of the concavity of said concave distal end in a direction along the longitudinal axis of said cylindrical sheath is less than the length of said tabs.
2. A hand held surgical instrument as defined in claim 1 wherein the grinding of said helical cutter to produce two diametrically opposed sharp portions to produce axial boring cuts forms an angle of at least 35 degrees with an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of said helical cutter.
3. A hand held surgical instrument as defined in claim 1 wherein said cylindrical sheath is internally grooved to assist in the removal of severed tissue.
4. A hand held surgical instrument as defined in claim 1 wherein the distal end of said sheath is thickened.
5. In a hand held surgical instrument as defined in claim 1, wherein said motor drive rotates said cutter blade at a rotational speed of at least 1000 rpm.
(3) said helical cutter blade further having at least a portion of its distal end ground to provide a concave distal end providing a generally fish tailed appearance terminating in two diametrically opposed sharp tynes, each of said tynes presenting a generally radially extending cutting edge so that the instrument is also capable of making an axial boring cut independently of said external tabs and wherein the length of the concavity of said concave distal end in a direction along the longitudinal axis of said cylindrical sheath is less than the length of said tabs.

Copy Right .. Do not use any of my blog for any reason Read Only.
So it's been a long time but there has been so such going on in my life it has been so full on.
I have not been able to post as every week something has been happening and I just did not know what was happening all where to start. I must say a big Thank You to my closes Mates and family who have been very supportive of me and being there for my family. My life in no means is ever normal and when it is Normal Trust me in saying this it is not your Normal. My children are my world and this I am very grateful for them even when they are driving me mad I love them just that little bit more to be able to have this as I never knew if I would ever get this or what is ahead. I have learnt to take each day as it comes and enjoy it even if you can't wait for it end from the fighting kids.
I took my Kids to the Easter Show on Thursday and they Had a so much fun but the best part was watching them on the Dodgems Cars Troy was Driving Zac and James was in his own car and they were all just laughing so hard Zac was nearly wetting himself every time James hit them he could not stop laughing it must of been huge because I had three people come up to me to say is that your boys and there laughs are making us laugh. It hit me and I had a tear in my eyes that in this moment I could of lost and how grateful I am to watch them here and what a Journey we have been through over the last 11 years and what a great day we are having.
I will start with James first so he has been going through lots of things over the last 12 months it's been very hard he is climbing the ladder though and it breaks my heart to see him struggle so much. He is on only 3 pills a day every day now so not bad now. He has had so many appointments with different doctors and is not sleeping through and wakes and stays up so much in his head on the Good Side he made a Friend we have had to push him a lot and if we let it go he goes back in his shell which is worrying but we have just been pushing and it seems to be working a little they even have had sleep over's each house and the parents of the child are so great the boys are starting to build that friendship I just hope it lasts. On the other side James Asthma has been setting off very quickly and he has been having lots of tests and doctors appointment we have been through a WAR in the last 6 months it has been hard we have had Two Cancers Scares with James one just before Christmas and only got the results 1 day before Christmas that it was clear and second one was a tumour in March this Year again which is again clear.Even though we are safe the doctors have said every 3 months he will have to have bloods and tests as this could change and he is not out of the woods totally I am so happy it is not funny, but so scared to death of it happening and so over the stress so all I can do is go on and hope it never happens. James has also been seeing a endocrinologist for a few reasons and goes to him every 6 months to top it off the doctors don't believe he will never ever have kids they are 98% Sure the Doctor said he believes 100% but he can't say that till James turns of age to get himself tested this is the side effect of transplant so you have to take the good with the bad here's hoping they r wrong. James is doing good in his support class and is starting to like school a little and the best part is we only have the upset morning every now and then instead of everyday.
With our Zac his disorders are getting worse and they have had to double up on medications to help with his anxiety disorder he is not sleeping at all and I am at the end of a rope he will be 7 in September and I have a child that sleeps worse and I mean Worse than a baby but there is not a lot they can do so the doctors have double up on his sleeping medication and the outcome put me in tears as the doctors feel doing this will give him 4 to 6 hours max 4 hours sleep OMG but I went to the chemist to fill the scripts and the News for one of the drug it would cost $7000.00 dollars for 5 to 6 months use with the other drugs included we are looking at around $450 a week in medication on both kids which we don't have. We have done everything to fight this but can't win our chemist has been calling around chemist who would compound the drug into one bigger dose so I will explain in one of Zac drugs he has between 8 to 14 tablets a night YES you read right that many tablets plus he is on another 3 different medications as well so what we want is to make one Tablet only to the right MG but we have not had a lot of luck we have found one in NSW and they will get back to us if they can do this it is a OMG Stress if they can the cost will be half of what it is maybe even a little smaller than half. If this happens we will go down to 6 pills a night so much easier for Zac to swallow plus I won't have to go through so much yogurt Yes Zac can only swallow the drugs if I buy the squeeze Yogurts I place one pill in and squeeze the yogurt so quick he has to swallow Mean Mum I am but it works LoL and cost so much less for us plus we might be able to afford the mediation. YaY if it happens I might start getting some Sleep Sleep Sleep and hopefully his anxiety starts to settle a little more and I don't care who wants to judge I have been without so much I have gained weight I am not myself anyone I snap I become so down and upset I have great mood swings from the lack of sleep and to top that off I the stress of all their problems all their doctors appointments and therapy appointment plus I work 5 days a week. Sometimes you need to put your hand up and say ok I give in and I take that help now.
There is so much more to add but I just don't know where to start and keep going a lot has stayed the same from previous posts but I will update again soon it's just to late plus once Zac Turns 7 in September I think it might be time to turn off the Blog as he is day 2203 now and that I say WoW maybe I have kept this running to long I really Don't Know.
On a Nice Note we are renovating our house and updated our cars from old bombs to nice reliable ones which I have to say is nice to have a nice thing happening. Starlight Foundation has been in contact with Zac for his Make a Wish and the First thing he said to the lady was where you're WINGS and WAND is if you make Zac Wish you need this. He was in a little Horror that she left them at the office I have never laughed so hard at him.
There are a few that are on my mind in our WAS Group of friends that still fighting the fight and my thoughts are always with you.
I am Grateful for my children and for what I have I never walk around saying that my children are worse never because I know they are not. I never ask for anybody to make comment and I don't make comment other than this Blog or Face book sometimes. I will not and Do not EVER speak about my children medical problems to any of my friends other than Best Mate as I don't want to bore people with the same tale or be the one who has problems to tell or the feel sorry looks if they want to know read my Blog I say plus I really hate when they say they look NORMAL Did I ever say that they Don't ... I am told I am a hard person not really I just think there are time and places for things. I am told I am hard on people and friends No I don't take Crap and I will tell it how it is so if you ask me do I like or am I fat I will always answer you the truth No I don't like or Yes you are Fat No I am not being RUDE I am being a Friend by telling the truth and if you not like it Don't ask me Simple as that. It is hard to not tell the the truth living inside my world is different to yours and as much as I want to be there for you I also have alot going on. Sometimes Just Sometimes I say WHY ME WHY MY KIDS why because I am human and Normal and even though I am grateful for my children when is enough is enough... I do not wish anything on anyone and I would never want to see a Mother, Father or Grandmother or Children be Sick or watch being Sick.
James Got into the IM Support Class we wanted... Yes this is great news hopefully he will settle in well. James Anxiety is going okay still some highs and lows but getting there. Slowly sorting it out Hopeful we will get there one day. James still not doing any sport does not like anything. James Asthma has been not good and they have now perm move him onto Singulair everyday which we have seen a difference in him. James still getting the bone pain and they put this down to the bone marrow regenerating itself. James has put on a little weight and Height Not much but some this is great news for him.
James Had his Anniversary on the 24th October for Transplant 9 years one Big Brave Boy Love him to bits Love Him around the world and back... His Smile makes my day..
Zac is a different kettle of fish he has been all over the place. We got Zac a weighted Blanket they are not cheap this has helped with settling Zac and Sleeping there has been a very small improvement with his sleeping from this blanket we love the blanket okay Mum does anyway LOL. We got Zac eyes tested turns out he needs Glasses so we brought and paid for them and came back for his 2 months check up turns out his eyes are worse and we need to go up in strength and we have been advised that we may have to go up in strength every 3 months over the next year but because his eyes are getting worse the lens have got more expensive. Thanks a lot there. On a Bright note Zac got into the IO/IS Support Class which is good for him but I saw the class and it made me sad for him Glad he gets helps Sad thought both my kids needs these classes and that they just can't have a Normal. On a not a happy Note the doctors believe Zac has Autism which I am not so happy about and the test is $1200.00 OMG Lovely. I tell you I did not see this Autism one coming oh well so we are waiting to find a doctor to do the test my doctor could sign it off but wants to have him tested as Zac has so many problems he does not want to be mixing it up with them but he said all the other problems still stand so my god this is just added to the stack the stack of problems is huge. I am so sorry but Transplant might have done the Wiskott Aldrich part but it has given me so much more back in return Over it.
Zac had a birthday he turned 5 Yes the big 5 all grown up my little monster is all grown into a Big Monster ... LOL.. I love him to pieces Both my boys make my day everyday..
Small Section Permanent Collapsed Lung will not heal could very much get worse and the whole lung Collapse.
To top my week off the boys had bloods they are back and tests are not Bad but not great.
RCB is Low and PCV Low so waiting on Doctors... His EOSINOPHILS are High but this is okay as he has Asthma and Allergies and we know he has had flare up there so we would see that this would be higher..
On a Good Note for me I gave up Smoking on 21st May 2012 which has been 174 days and Yes I still feel like a smoke I do all the Time Oh Hmmm.. LOL. I have also Joined the Gym I forgot to say I gained weight from giving up so trying to get fit again.I also was blessed with a niece in October 2012 she is beautiful.
Sometimes I think which I know is so wrong of me that how come some people go in hospital get fixed up and walk out no problems to follow on No Nightmares to go through No Nightmares to sleep through but every week there is always something new for my boys I would not wish it on no one but over it over worrying over the nightmares.
SMILE Right SMILE because there is always so much worse in this world and so much worse happening right now and I don't really have the right to be feeling like that when I have my Boys?
To My Lovely Beautiful WAS Friends I hope for you that things improve and some normal starts for you all Transplants Goes quickly and well Bloods stay good Our children stay healthy and happy so we to can have great family lives with our beautiful children.
Sending out my Heart Soul and Thoughts to some special WAS Mums and their Children.
Happy Listening Everyone Great Song Sang by our Aussie Guy Sebastian Battle Scars Ft Lupe Fiasco ..
Okay so I'm bad it has been awhile since I updated the blog okay it gets better I only remember because a really great Mate rang me today and asked about the Blog and I thought I better update it LOL. I tell no lie I have been so flat out I have had not one minute to myself to breath let alone to sit and write out everything that has been happening.
It has been a busy few months for us, everything going on good and bad never stops really.
Zac Blood in the wee cleared up took a few months still not sure if infection or not doctor will keep eye on him closer still not emptying bladder all the way so will watch it but prob nothing top much.
Zac has had more Testing and his overall scoring for his development is the 1st percentile and 0.01 of Percentile, I was told 0.01 is the lowest we set a new record beat That LOL... I will explain the chart is up to the 100th Percentile which you would be a genius, the 50th Percentile would be average from 5th to the 95th Percentile they don't really do anything thing much for children you have to sit under the 5th percentile. Which means in a nut shell out of 100 children all at the same age where your child sits? Zac sits at 0.01 of a percentile and 1 percentile The Lowest.
We are in FIGHTS with the Educational Dept to place Zac in a IO Support Class: Moderate Intellectuals Disability or IO/IS Support Class: Moderate/Severe intellectual disability to place in one of these classes is hard they only take 6 to 9 students, so even though I have all the support from everyone does not mean I can place him in one and there are not many of these classes around which makes it hard. The only other issue will be a normal class next year and dear I hope the teacher can cope. So Fingers Cross for us we can place Zac in one.
We are due to go for more blood results soon and check out all his immune levels and LFT's and Chem.

1926 | It should be obvious that the LeBron James-Dwayne Wade duo cannot be seriously compared with the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen duo. Jordan and Pippen not only led the Chicago Bulls to a pair of "three-peats" sandwiched around Jordan's baseball sabbatical but Jordan and Pippen approached the game with a fundamental seriousness and focus that James and Wade have yet to display on a consistent basis. When James pranced around on stage predicting that the Heat would win "not one, not two..." championships he revealed that he does not truly understand what it takes to be a champion and just how difficult it is to reach that level. He also sent a message to the rest of the NBA's top stars and elite teams essentially saying that he was about to become the Jordan of this era, preventing the rest of them from getting even one ring--and don't think for one moment that this message did not resonate very deeply with the challengers that the Heat will face over the next few years.
Magic Johnson has repeatedly made a very important point about the Miami Heat: they rely too much on their talent. When James and Wade get into open court situations they are unstoppable and the Heat stack up wins against inferior competition--but when they face good teams that don't turn the ball over or take bad shots James and Wade are still able to put up gaudy individual statistics for the most part but the Heat hardly look like an all-time great team. In contrast, Jordan and Pippen were not only two of the most talented players ever but they were also grinders; they worked on their games in the offseason and they worked during every game in the regular season and playoffs. One of the defining moments of their collective greatness happened in game seven of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, an 88-83 Chicago victory over Indiana during which the Bulls shot .382 from the field. Jordan shot 9-25 (.360) and Pippen shot 6-18 (.333), so Chicago's two biggest stars both dragged down their team's already lackluster field goal percentage--but Pippen scrapped and fought for a game-high 12 rebounds (six on the offensive glass), Jordan snared nine rebounds (five offensive) and the Bulls grabbed 22 offensive rebounds. The Bulls did not beat the Pacers with highlight plays or by looking pretty; they did not beat the Pacers with a high-wire act in transition: they beat the Pacers in the paint. That is the type of game that I do not think that the LeBron James-Dwyane Wade-Chris Bosh Heat can win when the stakes are highest and that is why I have consistently picked them to not win a championship (although James and the Heat did briefly fool me after they defeated the Bulls in the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals).
The Heat look unbeatable when they get their transition game going but they are comically ineffective in the half court set, particularly against zone defenses; last season I referred to Miami's "clown car" offense because in a half court set the Heat frequently look as disorganized as clowns piling out of a car at the circus. Zone defenses were not legal in the NBA back when Jordan and Pippen's Bulls dominated but it is highly doubtful that Jordan and Pippen would have been incapable of shredding a zone into a million pieces. A zone can be attacked either with accurate outside shooting or with quick ball movement followed by penetration into the exposed gaps. Unfortunately for the Heat, James and Wade are not reliable outside shooters nor are they particularly adept at playing without the ball; neither James nor Wade can consistently hit enough perimeter shots to defeat a zone defense and neither James nor Wade can run a half court offense predicated on ball movement and player movement: James and Wade both want to have the ball in their hands so that they can stare down the defense and run an isolation set (that is also the reason why James and Wade's skill sets are not complementary--when one of them is staring down the defense with the ball the other one is standing in the corner playing the role of a non-sharpshooting spot up shooter).
When James abandoned Cleveland to form a power trio in Miami with Wade and Bosh, the "stat gurus" gushed that the Heat would break the 1996 Bulls' record for regular season wins (72) en route to creating a dynasty featuring multiple championships--but what has actually happened has been entirely different: the 2011 Heat had the third best record in the NBA (58-24) and fell apart in the NBA Finals versus a team that only had one All-Star, while the 2012 Heat have already lost more times in 48 games (13) than the 1996 Bulls lost in the full 82 game season (10). In nine full seasons together, Jordan and Pippen led the Bulls to six championships and five 60-plus win seasons (including three seasons with 67 or more wins, with each of those seasons culminating in a championship); they dominated in the regular season, they treated every game like it mattered and they embraced the challenge of defeating elite teams in playoff competition.
The James-Wade-Bosh trio may win a championship eventually. They may even win this season's championship (though I doubt it)--but I will be shocked if they remotely approach the postseason dominance achieved by the Jordan-Pippen Bulls. Rather than comparing the Heat to the 1990s Bulls, a more relevant and interesting comparison is with the 2006-2009 Cleveland Cavaliers teams that upset a 64 win Detroit team in the playoffs (2006), made it to the Finals once (2007) and twice had the best record in the NBA (66 wins in 2008, 61 wins in 2009); will James' Miami Heat assemble a body of work that surpasses what James' Cavaliers accomplished? When James fled to South Beach I said that he may never play for a better team than the one that he left behind and the results on the court have yet to disprove that assessment. It is true that the Heat have only been together for less than two seasons and only had one playoff run so far but don't assume that they have years and years to figure everything out; Wade is an old 30, a nine year veteran who has spent his career throwing his body around the court and dealing with assorted injuries: his playing style is not one that will likely allow him to age well. The NBA's new collective bargaining agreement makes it more expensive to keep three stars on the payroll, let alone surround them with complementary talent, so if the Heat keep failing to win a championship with this trio it is not at all implausible that the team would decide to trade one or even two of the stars; Philadelphia's so-called "Wonder Five" made it to the NBA Finals just once (1977) but after the Sixers cleaned house and surrounded Julius Erving with an entirely new supporting cast the team made three trips to the Finals in the first four years of the 1980s, finally winning the title in 1983. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

Not sure if that completely relates but it is the thing i thought of. For me the question i have is more 'Why wouldn't you adopt?' than 'Why would you?' to anyone wanting a baby in this day and age and i know that one gets complicated enough. But i think this post helps remind those of us who deeply care about you and others who are walking this path, to remember to be sensitive and help you guard and share the stories you choose to, and hopefully that will continue to be the case.
Until we know, we don't know.
SO appreciated this: helps remind those of us who deeply care about you and others who are walking this path, to remember to be sensitive and help you guard and share the stories you choose to, and hopefully that will continue to be the case.
I do think that your taboo topics are people being allowed to share their own story and I guess this was triggered more in how do we protect our children than we do ourselves… I am having to learn to be more gracious in my responses… Charles is better at that than I am… I get into warrior mode a little too fast sometimes.

3508 | When it comes to co-branded airline credit cards, United loyalists have two main options: the United MileagePlus Explorer Card or the United MileagePlus Club Card, both of which are issued by Chase.
While the average traveler might get more mileage (so to speak) out of a card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card or The Amex EveryDay® Card from American Express — which earn bonus points on a wide range of purchases that can be transferred to a number of different airline and hotel partners — those looking for United-specific benefits who might not fly quite enough to earn elite status probably want to take a look at both United cards. Here are the factors to help you decide which one is the better choice for you.
Which United card will meet your needs? Photo by Robert Alexander/Getty Images.
Now, let's see how these benefits specifically stack up against one another.
Both cards offer decent sign-up bonuses. The United Club Card's is higher, but so is its spending requirement.
United MileagePlus Club Card: Earn 50,000 bonus miles after you spend $3,000 in the first three months your account is open.
Things are almost equal here, but it's also important to note that the United Club card hasn't historically come with any sign-up bonus, so if you decide you want the card, now is the time to get it.
Now we're getting into the major differences between the two cards. The United Explorer's annual fee is a mere $95, and even that is waived the first year. By contrast, the United Club Card's annual fee is $450 (which has been waived on some offers in the past), but you get a number of greater benefits for it.
Both United cards earn 2 miles per dollar spent on tickets purchased from United. However, the Explorer earns just 1 mile per dollar on everything else, while the United Club Card earns 1.5 miles per dollar on other purchases, a 50% premium. Since TPG values United miles at 1.4 cents apiece, that means you're earning an extra 0.7 cents on every dollar you spend with the Club Card.
However, the standout benefit that the United MileagePlus Explorer Card offers in this category that the Club Card does not is that cardholders who spend $25,000 or more in net purchases in a calendar year earn 10,000 bonus miles. If you meet that spending threshold exactly, you're effectively earning a 40% bonus on everyday purchases (you'd be earning 35,000 miles for $25,000 worth of purchases), which comes pretty close to the Club Card's 1.5x earning rate.
As you'd expect, both cards offer benefits specifically for flying United. Here's what you'll get with each.
The United MileagePlus Explorer Card gets the primary cardholder and one travel companion on the same reservation their first standard checked bag free when the cardholder purchases the tickets directly from United using the card. This is valued at $25 each way per person. Explorer cardholders also get priority boarding after premium cabin travelers and elites, but before general boarding.
United MileagePlus Club Card cardholders get first and second checked bags free for themselves and one travel companion on the same reservation when the primary cardmember includes their United MileagePlus number in their reservation and purchases their tickets from United with their card. This is valued at up to $60 per person each way.
Club cardholders also get Premier Access, meaning priority check-in, priority security screening where available, priority boarding and baggage handling privileges. In short, it's like low-level elite status. The final benefit the Club Card offers that the Explorer does not: Waived close-in award booking fees that can save you $75 a pop, which is the equivalent of a United Premier Platinum status benefit.
Travelers who have either of these cards as well as United elite status are eligible for complimentary upgrades on award tickets. Both cards also allow cardholders to waive the Premier Qualifying Dollar requirements for Unite elite status up to the Premier Platinum level by spending $25,000 or more in net purchases in a calendar year. They also get access to expanded award availability when using their miles, which offers extra low-level award space on United-operated flights, and the ability to book any United flight at any time at the applicable Everyday Award level.
The United MileagePlus Club Card's major benefit is United Club membership.
This one is no contest, really. The United MileagePlus Explorer Card gives cardholders two United Club one-time passes deposited into their MileagePlus account each year for their cardmember anniversary.
By contrast, the United MileagePlus Club Card comes with outright United Club membership and access to United Clubs for cardholders holding a boarding pass for same-day travel. Depending on your level of elite status, that represents between $450-$550 in value per year, essentially covering the card's annual fee. Existing United Club members are eligible to receive a pro-rated refund for any unused portion of their current membership if the refund is greater than $15. United Club members may also bring their spouse and dependent children under 21, or up to two guests, into any United Club location. Unfortunately, this access does not extend to the airline's flagship Polaris Lounge locations, but your Club membership will get you into Star Alliance lounges.
Like many top travel credit cards, the United MileagePlus Explorer Card waives foreign transaction fees and gives cardholders access to both Visa Signature Hotels and Chase's Luxury Hotel & Resorts Collection portals so they can enjoy extra perks like free Wi-Fi or valet parking and on-property credits. Cardholders also have access to Chase's Inside Access events, United MileagePlus Visa Signature cardmember events and the Visa Concierge service.
United MileagePlus Club cardholders get automatic World of Hyatt Discoverist status, which could come in handy at properties like the Park Hyatt Mallorca.
In addition to those same benefits, the United MileagePlus Club Card carries some additional perks. Those include automatic World of Hyatt Discoverist status, which provides benefits when you stay at Hyatt hotels such as bonus points, room upgrades, complimentary premium internet, late check-out and a special reservations line.
United Club cardholders are also eligible for Hertz Gold Plus Rewards President's Circle membership with benefits like confirmed vehicle availability, one-car-class upgrades, bonus points earning and all the benefits of Hertz Gold service.
Trip Cancellation / Trip Interruption Insurance: If your trip is cancelled or cut short by sickness, severe weather, or other covered situations, you can be reimbursed up to $10,000 per trip for your pre-paid, non-refundable travel expenses, including passenger fares, tours, and hotels.
Travel Accident Insurance: When you pay for your air, bus, train, or cruise transportation with your card, you're eligible to receive accidental death or dismemberment coverage of up to $500,000.
Baggage Delay Insurance: Reimburses you for essential purchases like toiletries and clothing for baggage delays of over 6 hours by passenger carriers, up to $100 a day for 3 days.
Lost Luggage Reimbursement: If you or an immediate family member check or carry on luggage that's damaged or lost by the carrier, you're covered up to $3,000 per passenger.
Trip Delay Reimbursement: If your common carrier travel is delayed more than 12 hours or requires an overnight stay, you and your family are covered for unreimbursed expenses, such as meals and lodging, up to $500 per ticket.
The two cards come with identical travel protections like trip delay insurance. Photo by Getty Images.
Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver: Coverage is primary and provides reimbursement up to the actual cash value of the vehicle for theft and collision damage for most rental cars in the US and abroad. You must decline the rental company's collision insurance and charge the entire rental cost to your card.
Purchase Protection: Covers your new purchases for 120 days against damage or theft up to $10,000 per claim and $50,000 per year.
Extended Warranty Protection: Extends the time period of the US manufacturer's warranty by an additional year, on eligible warranties of three years or less.
What's interesting here is that, because both cards are Visa Signature products, they come with the same package of travel benefits and purchase protections, even though the United MileagePlus Club Card's annual fee is much higher than that of the Explorer Card. The other thing to point out is that both cards offer primary rental car insurance, which is a rarity even among travel credit cars, and a benefit that can save time, hassle and money.
There are a number of differences between these two cards, including their annual fees, airline and club-related benefits and earning potential. If what you care about is earning miles with a co-branded airline card, then the United MileagePlus Explorer Card is probably the one for you. Not only does it offer a decent bonus of up to 45,000 miles (and sometimes more) for spending $2,000 within three months of becoming a cardholder and adding an authorized user, but it also has that $25,000 spend threshold that would net you both a PQD waiver for (most) United elite status levels along with an additional 10,000 bonus miles. Its other benefits and travel protections are largely the same as those of the United Club Card for a lower annual fee.
On the other hand, if you're going to purchase United Club membership anyway, then it makes sense to get the United MileagePlus Club Card, since it basically lets you do so at a discount and comes with benefits like Hyatt and Hertz elite status, not to mention that 1.5x earning rate on everyday purchases. The close-in award fee waiver is also valuable if you book even a few last minute award tickets each year, since you'll save $75 on each one.
So what it comes down to is, which card's benefits will you maximize enough to meet your travel goals and justify paying its annual fee? The answer to that question will help you decide which of these cards is the right choice for you. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

i can't help feel like in a way i'm partly responsible for that- I picked up my Switch 11-27-18. i'm not sure if I'm proud or ashamed, lol.
The Uber game - 14 min.
I played some Drawception again, or, rather, looked at how my games turned out. Then I played Surviv.io which is a war game in overhead view where your goal is to fall last of all players. Then there's The Uber game which is a kind of multiple choice adventure where you play a Uber driver who has to make quite a few decisions during a week of work.
A spasm of co-op games this weekend with the original Overcooked leading the way . . .
It looks like I'm going to be helping contribute to the Nintendo Switch time on the tracker in a major way, because this past week was a really big week for the Switch around here!
You may notice that most of the times are rounded to 5 minute increments, since starting Tuesday I decided to use the Nintendo Switch parental controls mobile application on my Android tablet to track my gaming time instead of tracking it manually. It's a shame that there isn't a daily gaming time tracker built into the Switch like there was on the 3DS, but the mobile app works well enough even if it isn't perfectly precise. In any case, I really dived into my library of Switch games this week and spent a fair bit of time enjoying most of the Switch games I currently own.
First up was DOOM, which I'm now nearing the end of my second play through of (this time with the difficulty turned up to Ultra Violence). I had such a great time playing through it the first time that I decided to go back and do a second play through to try and find every collectible and earn every weapon and armor suit upgrade. I'm only two levels away from the end at this point and I've already succeeded in finding every collectible and upgrading all my armor and weapons to max, the only exception being the rocket launcher for which I still have one weapon mastery challenge left to complete. It's been a ton of fun all around and I'm sure I'll end up playing through DOOM one more time later in the year before it's sequel DOOM: Eternal comes out.
While I was working on DOOM I also did a full play through of Sonic Mania Plus, and hot darn is this ever a great game! It really feels like the Sega Genesis sequel to Sonic & Knuckles that I've been waiting for since 1995. It's not a perfect game, since most of the levels do feel overly long to me and kinda drag on, the giant ring entrances to the special stages are a little too well hidden compared to the ones in Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles, and I find the new special stages that you have to complete to earn chaos emeralds (which are very similar to the special stages in Sonic CD) to be way too difficult. So I've definitely got some complaints about Sonic Mania, but in spite of those gripes I still think it's a phenomenal game that plays just like the Genesis originals and is chalked full of charm and nostalgia. I can definitely see why a lot of fans consider Sonic Mania to be their favorite entry in the series, but for me I still like Sonic 3 & Knuckles a bit better.
Next up was Night in the Woods, which my wife and I actually played together. This is a difficult game to describe but in many ways it's kind of like a cross between a side scrolling platformer and a choose your own adventure book. The basic gist of the game is that you play as a 20 year old anthropomorphic cat who just dropped out of college and is making the shameful return to her small rural home town to move back in with her parents. You control her as she goes about her days walking around town, catching up with old friends (most of whom have moved on to bigger and better things during the 2 years she was away at college), and just generally dealing with post-adolescent angst and depression as she tries to figure out what exactly to do with her days now. There's a lot of light platforming, a few Guitar Hero style rhythm mini games tossed in, and a pixel art rogue-like game you can play on her computer; but the majority of the game is just spent reading dialogue and making decisions about how to respond to it. I don't want to spoil any story details, but suffice it to say the game's story is absolutely hilarious, extremely relatable, and very touching all at the same time. It's a pretty weird game, but if sounds like your cup of tea then I'd highly recommend giving it a try.
Wrapping up the week, I ended up activating a 7 day free trial of Nintendo Switch Online to check out the Switch's NES emulator and Tetris 99; and I definitely think the service is worth 20 bucks a year. The selection of NES titles is pretty nice, Tetris 99 is just insanely cool (especially considering that it's 100% completely free), and the ability to do online multiplayer and backup all your save game data to Nintendo's cloud storage system makes Nintendo Switch Online a pretty worthwhile investment to me. As far as next week goes it'll probably be a lot more of the same around here, though the misses is planning on getting back to Quake II on the PlayStation at some point and she's looking forward to trying out some Switch games as soon as the 8BitDo adapter she ordered off Amazon to let her use her Wii arcade stick with the Switch (along with an original Game Boy styled 8BitDo SN30 Pro controller for me) arrives in the mail next week.
Until next time and as always, best wishes and happy gaming to you and yours!

I picked up a few digital games this week because I couldn't resist. Ape Out is an unexpected gem with a pretty cool soundtrack, and OutRun makes me feel like I'm back in the arcade at the machine.
It's a long story on how i actually got the game, but I finally picked up Disgaea 1 complete yesterday- all the memories of hours playing this game on the PS2 came flooding back.
I was sick a couple of days, so that meant extra Zelda time! I've done some pretty crazy stuff in the game, and just lack one Divine Beast and the fight with Ganon himself to finish.
Monaco is such a great game. I really enjoyed playing it!
Thanks for the comment. I had heard great things, but never played it before. My wife and I tried it out as a 2 player co-op, and I'm not sure we really experienced the game's potential. She had a lot of trouble just reading the map and understanding what the graphics were trying to depict. "Which way is that guy supposed to be facing?" "Is there a door for this room on this wall?" Stuff like that. We also struggled with what to do when guards started chasing us and really didn't have much fun with it at all. Are we doing it wrong? Do you have a recommendation about which characters to use when only playing with 2 players? Any general advice?
PS4 Dirt 4, 150 minutes.
GameCube Soul Calibur 2, 30 minutes.
When I was playing, it seemed like it was largely situational- the best overall roles i thought were Mole, Locksmith, and Hacker.
The Cleaner comes into his own because he can greatly simplify the game on the crowded later levels. The noise is not an issue unless you need to clean 4-5 people in a row. Lookout helps you see coin placement and lets you know when you can ignore security measures/run around because there aren't any shooting guards nearby.
Locksmith is useful in reducing safe cracking time but most of the later levels have C4, wrenches, and rocket launchers. Redhead can be faster getting through locked doors.
You can see the exact total minutes played of an XOne game if you go to your profile on XBox.com > choose My Games and then click on the game > Achievements. Along with the achievements, it displays the minutes played and other stats.
I'll do the stats tomorrow (depending which time zone you're in) but I can hint already now that we/you have obtained a new record in total minutes tracked, and we still have some regulars left to post.
Trying it, but the website seems borked or something. Won't let me log in or go to "my account". Every time I click on it, it gives me an error. Request took too long. HTTP Error 400.

Just some more Civ this week. Looked like I was going to pull out a science victory in my Maori game, but the Americans won with a culture victory 2 turns before that. D'oh, I don't remember the last time I've lost at endgame (I've lost/given up plenty of times mid-game), so that was interesting. Tried building my culture to hold it off, but it didn't quite work out. Started another game with Aquitaine (France) on a real world Europe map. Currently allied with England and Scotland and not getting along well with Spain.

Total 9670 minutes and 23 different games on 7 different systems.
As promised, this is a record week going by total number of minutes. While the old records of number of games (29) and systems (11) remain untouched, the old play time record of 7837 minutes is ... not sure if "obliterated" is the right word but something similar. Spectacularly the Classic tracker had unusually low figures the same week.
Well, if we concentrate on the actual games this week, Breath of the Wild takes the title, with Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 in second place after a recount. On the systems side, it is a two system battle Microsoft Xbox One vs Nintendo Switch. In a regular week, either of them would have ruled the list but here it is a tight battle with only 260 mins (4 1/3 hours) inbetween.
On the all-time stats, PUBG just exceeded 40K minutes (40344) and the tracker itself just exceeded 250K minutes (250397). A total of 428 games have been tracked so far, some as little as 2 minutes.
Crazy thing is, not 15 minutes after I "fixed" the error problem on the Xbox website, it quit working again. Same error.
Microsoft wants to keep it a secret from you how much time you spend on playing games.
I've had this on my Steam wishlist for a while, but just picked it up for under $5 on XBox. Fun board game style of game with cards and dice, and some replay value with different characters and win conditions.
Not big into fighting games, but enjoyed the first game's story mode, and this version is fun, too, though I'm not a fan of the lootbox style upgrade system they've incorporated.
My wife and I managed to get full stars on all of the stages in Overcooked and we finished the story mode of 'Lovers.' Road Knight is a bit of an oddity as it is one of the XBox creators or community games or whatever. It was free and looked like Spy Hunter. It is now uninstalled - LOL.

I don't know what I'm doing to myself, but i bought the Zelda DLC this weekend. I've also been messing around Tetris but certainly not enough to win Nintendo's 'competition'.
We bought Lego Harry Potter and Just Dance 2019- my non-gamer daughter absolutely LOVES my Switch, too! | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

4577 | Military authorities charged respondent, a native Nigerian serving in the U. S. Navy, with violating of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). With counsel's assistance, respondent agreed to plead guilty to reduced charges. The special court-martial accepted the plea and convicted and sentenced respondent; the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals (NMCCA) affirmed; and he was discharged from the Navy in 2000. In 2006, the Department of Homeland Security commenced removal proceedings against respondent based on the conviction. To avoid deportation, he filed a petition for a writ of coram nobis under the authority of the All Writs Act, asking the NMCCA to vacate the conviction it had earlier affirmed on the ground that his guilty plea resulted from ineffective assistance of counsel, who had assured him his plea bargain carried no risk of deportation. Though rejecting the Government's contention that it lacked jurisdiction to grant the writ, the NMCCA denied relief for lack of merit. Agreeing that the NMCCA has jurisdiction, the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) remanded for further proceedings on the merits.
1. This Court has subject-matter jurisdiction under 28 U. S. C. §1259(4), which permits it to review CAAF decisions in cases "in which [that court] granted relief." Respondent's parsimonious view that the CAAF did not " 'gran[t] relief' " in this case, but simply remanded to the NMCCA, is rejected. Though §1259 does not define "relief," the word's familiar meaning encompasses any redress or benefit provided by a court. The CAAF's judgment reversing the NMCCA satisfies that definition. Pp. 4–5.
2. Article I military courts have jurisdiction to entertain coram nobis petitions to consider allegations that an earlier judgment of conviction was flawed in a fundamental respect. Pp. 5–13.
(a) Military courts' power to issue extraordinary writs under the All Writs Act, see Noyd v. Bond, 395 U. S. 683, 695, n. 7, does not determine the anterior question whether those courts have jurisdiction to entertain a coram nobis petition. As recognized by the All Writs Act—which permits "courts established by Act of Congress" to issue "all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions," 28 U. S. C. §1651(a)—a court's power to issue any form of relief, extraordinary or otherwise, is contingent on its subject-matter jurisdiction over the case or controversy. Such jurisdiction is determined by Congress. Bowles v. Russell, 551 U. S. 205, 212. Thus, to issue respondent a writ of coram nobis on remand, the NMCCA must have had statutory subject-matter jurisdiction over respondent's original judgment of conviction. Pp. 5–8.
(b) Pursuant to the UCMJ, the NMCCA and the CAAF have subject-matter jurisdiction over this case. The NMCCA has jurisdiction to entertain respondent's coram nobis request under UCMJ Article 66, which provides: "For the purpose of reviewing court-martial cases, the [NMCCA] may sit … ." 10 U. S. C. §866(a). Because respondent's coram nobis request is simply a further "step in [his] criminal" appeal, United States v. Morgan, 346 U. S. 502, 505 n. 4, the NMCCA's jurisdiction to issue the writ derives from the earlier jurisdiction it exercised under §866(a) to hear and determine the conviction's validity on direct review. Respondent's coram nobis request is not barred by the requirement that the NMCCA "act only with respect to the findings and sentence as approved by the convening authority." §866(c). An alleged error in the original judgment predicated on ineffective-assistance-of-counsel challenges the conviction's validity, see Knowles v. Mirzayance, ante, at ___, so respondent's Sixth Amendment claim is "with respect to" the special-court-martial's "findings" of guilty. Because the NMCCA has jurisdiction, the CAAF has jurisdiction to review the NMCCA's denial of respondent's petition challenging the validity of his original conviction. That the CAAF's authority is confined "to matters of law" connected to "the findings and sentence as approved by the convening authority and as affirmed or set aside by the Court of Criminal Appeals," §867(c), poses no obstacle to respondent's requested review. His Sixth Amendment claim presents a "matte[r] of law" "with respect to the [guilty] findings … as approved by the [special court-martial] and as affirmed … by" the NMCCA. Pp. 8–10.
(c) The Government's argument that UCMJ Article 76 affirmatively prohibits the type of collateral review respondent seeks errs in "conflating the jurisdictional question with the merits" of respondent's petition, Arthur Andersen LLP v. Carlisle, ante, at ___. Article 76 provides for the finality of judgments in military cases. Just as the finality principle did not jurisdictionally bar the court in Morgan, supra, from examining its earlier judgment, neither does it bar the NMCCA from doing so here. The Government's contention that coram nobis permits a court to correct its own errors, not those of an inferior court, is disposed of on similar grounds. Pp. 10–12.
66 M. J. 114, affirmed and remanded.
Kennedy, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer, JJ., joined. Roberts, C. J., filed an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part, in which Scalia, Thomas, and Alito, JJ., joined.
The case before us presents a single issue: whether an Article I military appellate court has jurisdiction to entertain a petition for a writ of error coram nobis to challenge its earlier, and final, decision affirming a criminal conviction. The military court which had affirmed the conviction and where the writ of coram nobis was sought is the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals (NMCCA). Its ruling that it had jurisdiction to grant the writ, but then denying its issuance for lack of merit, was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF). After the CAAF agreed that the NMCCA has jurisdiction to issue the writ, it remanded for further proceedings on the merits. The Government of the United States, contending that a writ of coram nobis directed to a final judgment of conviction is beyond the jurisdiction of the military courts, now brings the case to us.
Respondent Jacob Denedo came to the United States in 1984 from his native Nigeria. He enlisted in the Navy in 1989 and became a lawful permanent resident in 1990. In 1998, military authorities charged him with conspiracy, larceny, and forgery—in contravention of Articles 81, 121, and 123 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U. S. C. §§881, 921, 923—all for his role in a scheme to defraud a community college. With the assistance of both military and civilian counsel, respondent made a plea bargain to plead guilty to reduced charges. In exchange for his plea the convening authority referred respondent's case to a special court-martial, §819, which, at that time, could not impose a sentence greater than six months' confinement.
The special court-martial, consisting of a single military judge, accepted respondent's guilty plea after determining that it was both knowing and voluntary. The court convicted respondent of conspiracy and larceny. It sentenced him to three months' confinement, a bad-conduct discharge, and a reduction to the lowest enlisted pay grade. Respondent appealed on the ground that his sentence was unduly severe. The NMCCA affirmed. App. to Pet. for Cert. 64a–67a. Respondent did not seek further review in the CAAF, and he was discharged from the Navy on May 30, 2000.
In 2006, the Department of Homeland Security commenced removal proceedings against respondent based upon his special court-martial conviction. To avoid deportation, respondent decided to challenge his conviction once more, though at this point it had been final for eight years. He maintained, in a petition for a writ of coram nobis filed with the NMCCA, that the conviction it had earlier affirmed must be deemed void because his guilty plea was the result of ineffective assistance of counsel. Respondent alleged that he informed his civilian attorney during plea negotiations that " 'his primary concern and objective' " was to avoid deportation and that he was willing to " 'risk … going to jail' " to avert separation from his family. 66 M. J. 114, 118 (C. A. Armed Forces 2008). On respondent's account, his attorney—an alcoholic who was not sober during the course of the special court-martial proceeding—erroneously assured him that " 'if he agreed to plead guilty at a special-court-martial he would avoid any risk of deportation.' " Ibid. Petitioner argued that the NMCCA could set aside its earlier decision by issuing a writ of coram nobis under the authority of the All Writs Act, 28 U. S. C. §1651(a).
The Government filed a motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction. It contended that the NMCCA had no authority to conduct postconviction proceedings. In a terse, four-sentence order, the NMCCA summarily denied both the Government's motion and respondent's petition for a writ of coram nobis. App. to Pet. for Cert. 63a. Respondent appealed and the CAAF, dividing 3 to 2, affirmed in part and reversed in part. The CAAF agreed with the NMCCA that standing military courts have jurisdiction to conduct "collateral review under the All Writs Act." 66 M. J., at 119. This is so, the CAAF explained, because "when a petitioner seeks collateral relief to modify an action that was taken within the subject matter jurisdiction of the military justice system … a writ that is necessary or appropriate may be issued under the All Writs Act 'in aid of' the court's existing jurisdiction." Id., at 120 (citing 28 U. S. C. §1651(a)).
Satisfied that it had jurisdiction, the CAAF next turned to whether the writ of coram nobis should issue. It held that a nondefaulted, ineffective-assistance claim that was yet to receive a full and fair review "within the military justice system" could justify issuance of the writ. 66 M. J., at 125. Finding that respondent's ineffective-assistance claim satisfied "the threshold criteria for coram nobis review," the CAAF remanded to the NMCCA so it could ascertain in the first instance "whether the merits of [respondent's] petition can be resolved on the basis of the written submissions, or whether a factfinding hearing is required." Id., at 126, 130.
Judge Stucky filed a dissenting opinion. Assuming that the majority had correctly determined its jurisdiction to grant the requested relief, he concluded that respondent's ineffective-assistance claim lacked merit. Id., at 131. Judge Ryan also dissented. Reasoning that the majority had misapplied this Court's holding in Clinton v. Goldsmith, 526 U. S. 529 (1999), she concluded that the UCMJ does not confer jurisdiction upon military tribunals to conduct "post-finality collateral review." 66 M. J., at 136. We granted certiorari, 555 U. S. ___ (2008), and now affirm.
Before we address another court's subject-matter jurisdiction we must first determine our own. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, ante, at 6 ("Subject-matter jurisdiction … should be considered when fairly in doubt"). The Government, upon which the burden to demonstrate subject-matter jurisdiction lies, DaimlerChrysler Corp. v. Cuno, 547 U. S. 332, 342 (2006), claims that our power to hear this appeal rests on 28 U. S. C. §1259(4). That jurisdictional provision permits us to review CAAF decisions in " 'cases … in which the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces … granted relief.' " Respondent maintains that we lack jurisdiction because the CAAF did not " 'grant relief ' "; "all it did was remand" to the NMCCA. Brief for Respondent 6–7 (brackets omitted).
Respondent's parsimonious construction of the word "relief" need not detain us long. Though §1259 does not define the term, its familiar meaning encompasses any "redress or benefit" provided by a court. Black's Law Dictionary 1317 (8th ed. 2004). The CAAF's judgment reversing the NMCCA satisfies that definition. The NMCCA denied respondent's petition for a writ of coram nobis, while the CAAF's decision reversed and remanded so that the NMCCA could determine anew if the writ should issue. That decision conferred a palpable benefit on respondent; for a chance of success on the merits, however slight, is superior to no possibility at all.
To be sure, respondent would have preferred the CAAF to issue a writ of coram nobis or to direct the NMCCA to do so rather than remanding for the NMCCA to conduct further proceedings. We have jurisdiction, however, to review any decision granting "relief," not just those providing "ultimate relief" or "complete relief." Indeed, appellate courts reverse and remand lower court judgments—rather than issuing complete relief—with regularity. See, e.g., Arthur Andersen LLP v. Carlisle, ante, at ___; FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc., ante, at ___. There is no merit to the view that a decision granting partial relief should be construed as granting no relief at all.
Because the CAAF "granted relief" to respondent, the text of §1259 is satisfied here. We have jurisdiction to determine whether the CAAF was correct in ruling that the NMCCA had authority to entertain the petition for a writ of coram nobis.
The writ of coram nobis is an ancient common-law remedy designed "to correct errors of fact." United States v. Morgan, 346 U. S. 502, 507 (1954). In American jurisprudence the precise contours of coram nobis have not been "well defined," Bronson v. Schulten, 104 U. S. 410, 416 (1882), but the writ traces its origins to the King's Bench and the Court of Common Pleas. United States v. Plumer, 27 F. Cas. 561, 573 (No. 16,056) (CC Mass. 1859) (opinion for the court by Clifford, Circuit Justice); see also Morgan, supra, at 507, n. 9 (citing 2 W. Tidd, Practice of Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas *1136–*1137). In English practice the office of the writ was to foster respect for judicial rulings by enabling the same court "where the action was commenced and where the judgment was rendered" to avoid the rigid strictures of judgment finality by correcting technical errors "such as happened through the fault of the clerk in the record of the proceedings prior to the judgment." Plumer, supra, at 572–573.
Any rationale confining the writ to technical errors, however, has been superseded; for in its modern iteration coram nobis is broader than its common-law predecessor. This is confirmed by our opinion in Morgan. In that case we found that a writ of coram nobis can issue to redress a fundamental error, there a deprivation of counsel in violation of the Sixth Amendment, as opposed to mere technical errors. 346 U. S., at 513. The potential universe of cases that range from technical errors to fundamental ones perhaps illustrates, in the case of coram nobis, the "tendency of a principle to expand itself to the limit of its logic." B. Cardozo, The Nature of the Judicial Process 51 (1921). To confine the use of coram nobis so that finality is not at risk in a great number of cases, we were careful in Morgan to limit the availability of the writ to "extraordinary" cases presenting circumstances compelling its use "to achieve justice." 346 U. S., at 511. Another limit, of course, is that an extraordinary remedy may not issue when alternative remedies, such as habeas corpus, are available. See id., at 510–511.
In federal courts the authority to grant a writ of coram nobis is conferred by the All Writs Act, which permits "courts established by Act of Congress" to issue "all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions." 28 U. S. C. §1651(a). Though military courts, like Article III tribunals, are empowered to issue extraordinary writs under the All Writs Act, Noyd v. Bond, 395 U. S. 683, 695, n. 7 (1969), that authority does not determine the anterior question whether military courts have jurisdiction to entertain a petition for coram nobis. As the text of the All Writs Act recognizes, a court's power to issue any form of relief—extraordinary or otherwise—is contingent on that court's subject-matter jurisdiction over the case or controversy.
Assuming no constraints or limitations grounded in the Constitution are implicated, it is for Congress to determine the subject-matter jurisdiction of federal courts. Bowles v. Russell, 551 U. S. 205, 212 (2007) ("Within constitutional bounds, Congress decides what cases the federal courts have jurisdiction to consider"). This rule applies with added force to Article I tribunals, such as the NMCCA and CAAF, which owe their existence to Congress' authority to enact legislation pursuant to Art. I, §8 of the Constitution. Goldsmith, 526 U. S., at 533–534.
Our decision in Goldsmith demonstrates these teachings. There an Air Force officer, James Goldsmith, was convicted of various crimes by general court-martial and sentenced to six years' confinement. Id., at 531. Following his conviction, Congress enacted a statute authorizing the President to drop convicted officers from the rolls of the Armed Forces. When the Air Force notified Goldsmith that he would be dropped from the rolls, he lodged a petition before the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals (AFCCA) claiming that the proposed action contravened the Ex Post Facto Clause of the Constitution. Id., at 532–533. Goldsmith sought extraordinary relief as authorized by the All Writs Act to enjoin the President from removing him from the rolls. The AFCCA denied relief, but the CAAF granted it.
Concluding that the UCMJ does not authorize military courts to review executive action—including a decision to drop an officer from the rolls—we held that the AFCCA and the CAAF lacked jurisdiction over Goldsmith's case. Id., at 535. This was so, we unequivocally found, irrespective of the military court's authority to issue extraordinary relief pursuant to the All Writs Act and its previous jurisdiction over Goldsmith's criminal proceeding. The power to issue relief depends upon, rather than enlarges, a court's jurisdiction. Id., at 536–537.
That principle does not control the question before us. Because coram nobis is but an extraordinary tool to correct a legal or factual error, an application for the writ is properly viewed as a belated extension of the original proceeding during which the error allegedly transpired. See Morgan, supra, at 505, n. 4 (coram nobis is "a step in the criminal case and not, like habeas corpus where relief is sought in a separate case and record, the beginning of a separate civil proceeding"); see also United States v. Beggerly, 524 U. S. 38, 46 (1998) (citing Pacific R. Co. of Mo. v. Missouri Pacific R. Co., 111 U. S. 505, 522 (1884) (noting that an "independent action"—which, like coram nobis, is an equitable means to obtain relief from a judgment—" 'may be regarded as ancillary to the prior suit, so that the relief asked may be granted by the court which made the decree in that suit … . The bill, though an original bill in the chancery sense of the word, is a continuation of the former suit, on the question of the jurisdiction of the [court]' "). It follows that to issue respondent a writ of coram nobis on remand, the NMCCA must have had statutory subject-matter jurisdiction over respondent's original judgment of conviction.
In the critical part of its opinion discussing the jurisdiction and authority of the NMCCA to issue a writ of coram nobis in an appropriate case, the CAAF describes respondent's request for review as one "under the All Writs Act." 66 M. J., at 119. This is correct, of course, if it simply confirms that the Act authorizes federal courts to issue writs "in aid of" their jurisdiction; but it does not advance the inquiry into whether jurisdiction exists.
And there are limits to the use of coram nobis to alter or interpret earlier judgments. As Goldsmith makes plain, the All Writs Act and the extraordinary relief the statute authorizes are not a source of subject-matter jurisdiction. 526 U. S., at 534–535. Statutes which address the power of a court to use certain writs or remedies or to decree certain forms of relief, for instance to award damages in some specified measure, in some circumstances might be construed also as a grant of jurisdiction to hear and determine the underlying cause of action. Cf. Marbury v. Madison, 1 Cranch 137 (1803). We have long held, however, that the All Writs Act should not be interpreted in this way. Goldsmith, supra, at 536; Plumer, 27 F. Cas., at 574 (jurisdiction cannot be acquired "by means of the writ to be issued"). The authority to issue a writ under the All Writs Act is not a font of jurisdiction. See Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. v. Henson, 537 U. S. 28, 31 (2002).
Quite apart from the All Writs Act, we conclude that the NMCCA has jurisdiction to entertain respondent's request for a writ of coram nobis. Article 66 of the UCMJ provides: "For the purpose of reviewing court-martial cases, the [Court of Criminal Appeals] may sit … ." 10 U. S. C. §866(a). Because respondent's request for coram nobis is simply a further "step in [his] criminal" appeal, Morgan, 346 U. S., at 505, n. 4, the NMCCA's jurisdiction to issue the writ derives from the earlier jurisdiction it exercised to hear and determine the validity of the conviction on direct review. As even the Government concedes, the textual authority under the UCMJ to " 'revie[w] court-martial cases' " provided the NMCCA with jurisdiction to hear an appeal of respondent's judgment of conviction. See Brief for United States 17–18. That jurisdiction is sufficient to permit the NMCCA to entertain respondent's petition for coram nobis. See also Courts of Criminal Appeals Rule of Practice and Procedure 2(b) (recognizing NMCCA discretionary authority to entertain petitions for extraordinary writs).
It is true that when exercising its jurisdiction under §866(a), the NMCCA "may act only with respect to the findings and sentence as approved by the convening authority." §866(c). That limitation does not bar respondent's request for a writ of coram nobis. An alleged error in the original judgment predicated on ineffective-assistance-of-counsel challenges the validity of a conviction, see Knowles v. Mirzayance, ante, at 3, so respondent's Sixth Amendment claim is "with respect to" the special-court-martial's "findings of guilty," 10 U. S. C. §866(c). Pursuant to the UCMJ, the NMCCA has subject-matter jurisdiction to hear respondent's request for extraordinary relief.
Because the NMCCA had jurisdiction over respondent's petition for coram nobis, the CAAF had jurisdiction to entertain respondent's appeal from the NMCCA's judgment. When exercising its jurisdiction, the CAAF's authority is confined "to matters of law" connected to "the findings and sentence as approved by the convening authority and as affirmed or set aside … by the Court of Criminal Appeals," §867(c), but these limitations pose no obstacle to respondent's requested review of the NMCCA's decision. Respondent's Sixth Amendment claim presents a "matte[r] of law" "with respect to the [guilty] findings … as approved by the [special court-martial] and as affirmed … by the Court of Criminal Appeals." Ibid. The CAAF had subject-matter jurisdiction to review the NMCCA's denial of respondent's petition challenging the validity of his original conviction.
"The appellate review of records of trial provided by this chapter, the proceedings, findings, and sentences of courts-martial as approved, reviewed, or affirmed as required by this chapter, and all dismissals and discharges carried into execution under sentences by courts-martial following approval, review, or affirmation as required by this chapter, are final and conclusive. Orders publishing the proceedings of courts-martial and all action taken pursuant to those proceedings are binding upon all departments, courts, agencies, and officers of the United States … ." 10 U. S. C. §876.
Article 76 codifies the common-law rule that respects the finality of judgments. Schlesinger v. Councilman, 420 U. S. 738, 749 (1975). Just as the rules of finality did not jurisdictionally bar the court in Morgan from examining its earlier judgment, neither does the principle of finality bar the NMCCA from doing so here.
The Government may ultimately be correct that the facts of respondent's case are insufficient to set aside the final judgment that Article 76 makes binding. No doubt, judgment finality is not to be lightly cast aside; and courts must be cautious so that the extraordinary remedy of coram nobis issues only in extreme cases. But the long-recognized authority of a court to protect the integrity of its earlier judgments impels the conclusion that the finality rule is not so inflexible that it trumps each and every competing consideration. Our holding allows military courts to protect the integrity of their dispositions and processes by granting relief from final judgments in extraordinary cases when it is shown that there were fundamental flaws in the proceedings leading to their issuance. The Government remains free to argue that respondent's is a merely ordinary case that is not entitled to extraordinary relief. But respondent's entitlement to relief is a merits question outside the scope of the jurisdictional question presented.
The Government's contention that coram nobis permits a court "to correct its own errors, not … those of an inferior court," Brief for United States 36, can be disposed of on similar grounds. Just as respondent's request for coram nobis does not confer subject-matter jurisdiction, the Government's argument that the relief should not issue "in light of the writ's traditional scope" does not undermine it, ibid. (emphasis deleted). In sum, the Government's argument speaks to the scope of the writ, not the NMCCA's jurisdiction to issue it. The CAAF rejected the former argument. Only the latter one is before us.
We hold that Article I military courts have jurisdiction to entertain coram nobis petitions to consider allegations that an earlier judgment of conviction was flawed in a fundamental respect. That conclusion is consistent with our holding that Article III courts have a like authority. Morgan, 346 U. S., at 508. The result we reach today is of central importance for military courts. The military justice system relies upon courts that must take all appropriate means, consistent with their statutory jurisdiction, to ensure the neutrality and integrity of their judgments. Under the premises and statutes we have relied upon here, the jurisdiction and the responsibility of military courts to reexamine judgments in rare cases where a fundamental flaw is alleged and other judicial processes for correction are unavailable are consistent with the powers Congress has granted those courts under Article I and with the system Congress has designed.
We do not prejudge the merits of respondent's petition. To be sure, the writ of error coram nobis is an extraordinary writ; and "an extraordinary remedy … should not be granted in the ordinary case." Nken v. Holder, ante, at 1 (Kennedy, J., concurring). The relative strength of respondent's ineffective-assistance claim, his delay in lodging his petition, when he learned or should have learned of his counsel's alleged deficiencies, and the effect of the rule of judgment finality expressed in Article 76 are all factors the NMCCA can explore on remand. We hold only that the military appellate courts had jurisdiction to hear respondent's request for a writ of coram nobis. The judgment of the CAAF is affirmed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
OPINION OF ROBERTS, C. J.
Chief Justice Roberts, with whom Justice Scalia, Justice Thomas, and Justice Alito join, concurring in part and dissenting in part.
The Court's approach is simple: Jurisdiction to issue writs of coram nobis is a "belated extension" of a court's original, statutory jurisdiction. Ante, at 8. The military courts here had original jurisdiction over Denedo's case. Those courts therefore have implicit "extended" jurisdiction to consider Denedo's coram nobis petition.
The flaw in this syllogism is at the first step: The only arguable authority for the proposition that coram nobis jurisdiction marches hand in hand with original jurisdiction is a footnote in United States v. Morgan, 346 U. S. 502 (1954), and that case concerned Article III courts. The military courts are markedly different. They are Article I courts whose jurisdiction is precisely limited at every turn. Those careful limits cannot be overridden by judicial "extension" of statutory jurisdiction, or the addition of a "further step" to the ones marked out by Congress. Ante, at 9 (internal quotation marks omitted).
I agree with the majority that this Court has jurisdiction to review the decision below, but respectfully dissent from its holding that military courts have jurisdiction to issue writs of coram nobis.
"Traditionally, military justice has been a rough form of justice emphasizing summary procedures, speedy convictions and stern penalties with a view to maintaining obedience and fighting fitness in the ranks." Reid v. Covert, 354 U. S. 1, 35–36 (1957) (plurality opinion). Courts-martial are composed of active service members who sit only to hear the particular case before them. Once a court-martial reaches a judgment and imposes a sentence, it is dissolved, and its members return to their regular duties.
Prior to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), military courts of appeals did not exist. If a service member wanted to challenge a court-martial conviction, he pursued a collateral attack in an Article III court. There, review was limited to whether the conviction was void "because of lack of jurisdiction or some other equally fundamental defect," Schlesinger v. Councilman, 420 U. S. 738, 747 (1975); beyond that, Article III courts adhered to "the general rule that the acts of a court martial, within the scope of its jurisdiction and duty, cannot be controlled or reviewed in the civil courts," Smith v. Whitney, 116 U. S. 167, 177 (1886).
The UCMJ established a "complete system of [military] review," Burns v. Wilson, 346 U. S. 137, 140 (1953) (plurality opinion), including direct review in what are now the Courts of Criminal Appeals (CCAs) and the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF). But in keeping with the historical backdrop against which these courts were created, Congress did not grant military courts of appeals "broad responsibility with respect to administration of military justice"; on the contrary, their jurisdiction is "narrowly circumscribed" by the governing statutes. Clinton v. Goldsmith, 526 U. S. 529, 534, 535 (1999) (internal quotation marks omitted).
The CCAs provide direct, record-based review of court-martial judgments, but they may only review cases referred by the judge advocate general, who in turn refers only those cases in which specific sentences are imposed. 10 U. S. C. §§866(b), (c). When reviewing that subset of court-martial judgments, a CCA "may act only with respect to the findings and sentence as approved by the convening authority." §866(c). If a case is reviewed by the CCA, the CCA's decision may then be reviewed by the CAAF. §867(a). But that court, too, conducts limited direct review: It "may act only with respect to the findings and sentence as approved by the convening authority and as affirmed or set aside as incorrect in law by the [CCA]." §867(c). Once direct review in the CCA and the CAAF is complete, and review in this Court is exhausted or waived, a judgment as to the legality of the court-martial proceedings is final, and the sentence imposed may be executed. §871(c)(1).
The UCMJ provides only one avenue for reconsideration of a final court-martial conviction: a petition for a new trial under Article 73. See §873. An Article 73 petition may be brought "within two years after approval by the convening authority of a court-martial sentence," meaning it may be brought before or after a conviction becomes final. Ibid. If direct review is still pending before a CCA or the CAAF when the petition is filed, the judge advocate general (to whom the petition must be directed) will refer the petition to that court. Ibid. But once the conviction is final, only the judge advocate general may act on an Article 73 petition. Ibid.
Federal courts are authorized to issue extraordinary writs such as coram nobis only as "necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions." 28 U. S. C. §1651(a). The All Writs Act "confine[s] the power of the CAAF to issuing process 'in aid of' its existing statutory jurisdiction" and "does not enlarge that jurisdiction." Goldsmith, supra, at 534–535; see also Noyd v. Bond, 395 U. S. 683, 695, n. 7 (1969) (although military courts can issue extraordinary writs in aid of their direct review jurisdiction, "[a] different question would, of course, arise in a case which the [courts are] not authorized to review under the governing statutes"). The UCMJ grants military courts of appeals no jurisdiction over final court-martial judgments, so there is no jurisdiction for a postconviction extraordinary writ to "aid." A petition for coram nobis by its nature seeks postconviction review; it is therefore beyond the scope of these courts' "narrowly circumscribed" statutory jurisdiction. Goldsmith, supra, at 535.
The majority overrides these careful limits on military court jurisdiction by maintaining that later jurisdiction to issue coram nobis is a "belated extension" of the statutory jurisdiction, that "jurisdiction to issue [coram nobis] derives from the earlier jurisdiction." Ante, at 8, 9. The authority the Court cites for this key jurisdictional analysis is—a footnote. See ante, at 8 (citing Morgan, 346 U. S., at 505, n. 4); ante, at 9 (same). Now, footnotes are part of an opinion, too, even if not the most likely place to look for a key jurisdictional ruling. But since footnote 4 plays such an indispensable role in the majority's analysis, it must be read with care.
The first thing you notice in doing so is that the footnote does not mention the word "jurisdiction" at all. That is because it has nothing to do with jurisdiction. The issue addressed in the paragraph to which the footnote was appended was "choice of remedy." 346 U. S., at 505. The Court concluded that coram nobis was the appropriate one. The footnote simply addressed the concern that the remedy might not be available because the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure had abolished coram nobis as a remedy; the concern was dismissed because the Court concluded the criminal rules, not the civil rules, applied. Id., at 505, n. 4; see also United States v. Keogh, 391 F. 2d 138, 140 (CA2 1968) (Friendly, J.) ("The problem to which the footnote was addressed was that F. R. Civ. P. 60(b) had abolished writs of error coram nobis").
The point is further confirmed by the text in the body of the opinion: The Court's conclusion in the paragraph in which the footnote appears is that since the remedy sought was "in the nature of … coram nobis," the trial court could "properly exercise its jurisdiction." 346 U. S., at 505 (emphasis added). The issue was not the existence of jurisdiction, but whether the court had the authority to exercise it. The Court in the present case recognizes the distinction. See ante, at 10 ("When exercising its jurisdiction, the CAAF's authority is confined to matters of law" (internal quotation marks omitted)); ante, at 9 ("The authority to issue a writ under the All Writs Act is not a font of jurisdiction").
Even accepting the majority's reading of Morgan's hitherto obscure footnote, that reading would only establish the "belated jurisdiction" theory for Article III courts. The military courts are Article I courts. The distinction has direct pertinence to the point at issue in this case.
Legal doctrines "must be placed in their historical setting. They cannot be wrenched from it and mechanically transplanted into an alien, unrelated context without suffering mutilation or distortion." Reid, 354 U. S., at 50 (Frankfurter, J., concurring in result). The Article III courts have been given broad jurisdiction. I can understand, if not necessarily agree with, the notion that they might enjoy some implicit "long-recognized authority" to correct their earlier judgments. See ante, at 11. But not so for Article I courts. The principle that Congress defines the jurisdiction of the lower federal courts "applies with added force to Article I tribunals." Ante, at 7. That is especially true with respect to military courts. The military justice system is the last place courts should go about finding "extensions" of jurisdiction beyond that conferred by statute.
Even if the majority's reading of Morgan's footnote could be transplanted to the military context, the majority's conclusion would still not follow. " '[T]he All Writs Act is a residual source of authority to issue writs that are not otherwise covered by statute. Where a statute specifically addresses the particular issue at hand, it is that authority, and not the All Writs Act, that is controlling.' " Carlisle v. United States, 517 U. S. 416, 429 (1996) (quoting Pennsylvania Bureau of Correction v. United States Marshals Service, 474 U. S. 34, 43 (1985)).
The UCMJ contains not one, but two provisions specifically limiting the circumstances under which postconviction relief (other than action by the appropriate Secretary or the President) may be obtained within the court-martial system. First, Article 73 provides that, "within two years after approval by the convening authority of a court-martial sentence, the accused may petition the Judge Advocate General for a new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence or fraud on the court." 10 U. S. C. §873. The only relief available under this "special post-conviction remedy" is a new trial, Burns, 346 U. S., at 141 (plurality opinion), and even that may be granted only in an expressly circumscribed timeframe (two years) and set of circumstances (newly discovered evidence or fraud on the court). Article 73 stands in stark contrast to coram nobis, which the majority characterizes as a writ infinitely available "to redress a[ny] fundamental error." Ante, at 6; see Morgan, supra, at 512 ("fundamental error" not limited to jurisdictional defects or errors on the face of the record).
To be sure, the limited nature of relief available under Article 73 might lead one to question whether that is truly the only postconviction relief the UCMJ permits. "You're in the Army now" is a sufficient answer to such concerns; the relief available looks positively extravagant in light of the prior history and tradition of military justice. In any event, as the majority recognizes, see ante, at 11, Article 76 makes clear that all court-martial judgments "carried into execution" after completion of direct review are "final and conclusive," 10 U. S. C. §876. Contrary to the majority's assertion, that language does not simply "codif[y] the common-law rule that respects the finality of judgments." Ante, at 11. In fact, Article 76 does not stop there. It goes on to instruct that final court-martial judgments are binding "subject only to action upon a petition for a new trial [under Article 73]," or action by the appropriate Secretary or the President. 10 U. S. C. §876 (emphasis added).
In light of these provisions, only Article 73 provides any authority to the CCAs or the CAAF, and even that narrow authority is limited to pending cases. Once a conviction is final, only the judge advocate general can provide relief. See supra, at 3; 10 U. S. C. §873. To the extent the CCAs or the CAAF could be deemed to have some inherent continuing authority to issue writs of coram nobis, Articles 73 and 76 extinguish it.
The Government goes on to argue that even if military courts have jurisdiction to issue writs of coram nobis, and even if Articles 73 and 76 do not bar such relief, the courts still lack authority to issue coram nobis, because the writ is neither "necessary" nor "appropriate" to the court-martial system of justice. See 28 U. S. C. §1651(a) (federal courts "may issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions"). Coram nobis allows the court that issued a judgment to correct its own errors of fact. See Morgan, 346 U. S., at 507, n. 9 (" 'If a judgment in the King's Bench be erroneous in matter of fact only, … it may be reversed in the same court, by writ of error coram nobis' " (quoting 2 W. Tidd, Practice of the Courts of King's Bench, and Common Pleas 1136 (4th Am. ed. 1856); some emphasis added)); see also ante, at 11 (referring to "authority of a court to protect the integrity of its earlier judgments" (emphasis added)). But a court-martial is not a standing court. On a case-by-case basis, "[i]t is called into existence for a special purpose and to perform a particular duty. When the object of its creation has been accomplished it is dissolved." Runkle v. United States, 122 U. S. 543, 555–556 (1887); see also 66 M. J. 114, 124 (CAAF 2008) (a court-martial "does not have independent jurisdiction over a case after the military judge authenticates the record and the convening authority forwards the record after taking action"). Because the court-martial that issues the conviction no longer exists once the conviction is final, there is no court to which a postconviction petition for coram nobis could be directed.
The absence of standing courts-martial is no mere technicality, but rather an integral and intentional part of the military justice system. "Court-martial jurisdiction sprang from the belief that within the military ranks there is need for a prompt, ready-at-hand means of compelling obedience and order." United States ex rel. Toth v. Quarles, 350 U. S. 11, 22 (1955). But meeting that need requires expending significant military resources, and "[t]o the extent that those responsible for performance of [the military's] primary function are diverted from it by the necessity of trying cases, the basic fighting purpose of armies is not served." Id., at 17. Accordingly, courts-martial, composed of active duty military personnel, have always been called into existence for a limited purpose and duration.
It is no answer that the CCAs and the CAAF are standing courts that could act as substitutes for coram nobis purposes. As this case illustrates, those courts are not equipped to handle the kind of factfinding necessary to resolve claims that might be brought on coram nobis. Instead, the CCAs will have to resort to the procedures invented by United States v. DuBay, 17 U. S. C. M. A. 147, 37 C. M. R. 411 (1967), under which a new convening authority will refer a case to a new court-martial, and task various military personnel who have no prior familiarity with the case to conduct an out-of-court evidentiary hearing on the merits of the petitioner's claim. Id., at 149, 37 C. M. R., at 413. This "unwieldy and imperfect system" will undoubtedly divert valuable military resources, 66 M. J., at 136 (Ryan, J., dissenting), all in aid of postconviction relief Congress specifically withheld.
The Court expressly declines to consider the Government's "necessary or appropriate" argument: "[T]he Government's argument speaks to the scope of the writ, not the [CCA's] jurisdiction to issue it. The CAAF rejected the former argument. Only the latter one is before us." Ante, at 12. The Court may well be correct in dividing the questions into separate pigeonholes. But the Government's argument, even if an argument about authority rather than jurisdiction, applies to every coram nobis case, given the nature of the military justice system. It is curious to conclude that military courts have jurisdiction, while not considering a raised and briefed argument that they may never exercise it.
Since the adoption of the UCMJ, "Congress has gradually changed the system of military justice so that it has come to more closely resemble the civilian system." Weiss v. United States, 510 U. S. 163, 174 (1994). "But the military in important respects remains a specialized society separate from civilian society." Ibid. (internal quotation marks omitted). Neither the jurisdiction nor the powers of Article III courts are necessarily appropriate for military courts, and Congress's contrary determinations in this area are entitled to "the highest deference." Loving v. United States, 517 U. S. 748, 768 (1996). Rather than respect the rule that military courts have no jurisdiction to revisit final convictions, the majority creates an exception that swallows it. Because I would hold the military courts to the statutory restraints that govern them, I respectfully dissent.
A court-martial conviction may still be collaterally attacked in an Article III court, but that is because those courts possess jurisdiction beyond that granted by the UCMJ. See, e.g., 28 U. S. C. §§2241, 1331. We have repeatedly held that Article 76 "does not expressly effect any change in the subject-matter jurisdiction of Art. III courts." Schlesinger v. Councilman, 420 U. S. 738, 749 (1975). Our cases have never questioned that Article 76 limits the jurisdiction of military courts.
Once you get into the business of extending jurisdiction, it can be hard to stop. Denedo is no longer in the military. Ante, at 2. Military courts lack jurisdiction over "civilian ex-soldiers who ha[ve] severed all relationship with the military and its institutions." United States ex rel. Toth v. Quarles, 350 U. S. 11, 14 (1955). In the event coram nobis does issue with respect to a former service member, the Government maintains it would lack jurisdiction to retry. Tr. of Oral Arg. 56–57; see 10 U. S. C. §§802–803. Avoiding that extraordinary result would require another "belated extension" of the original court-martial proceeding, expanding the jurisdiction of military courts to try individuals who have long since severed their ties to the military. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

Hi…I love your list. I can personally speak for two additional companies that you can add to it. Writerbay.com and Writezillas.com are great companies. I have been writing for them (and still do) since 2012. They have been here for a long time and always pay on time.
I am Thomas Yanc I would like to write and get paid for written work when I get down each and every time so when I write on line I do not want to get paid through there way to either my bank account and get paid good and no nickel or dime pay that won't pay me for things that are boring to write about!!! I love to talk about God/Jesus/, just talk in general, I don't really like to research! If you ask me can or know about something I will write about it!Trust me I am not boring!!! I am on Facebook all the time!!!
Usually English has to be your native language and you would need to present work that is well written with proper English grammar and punctuation. Your comment does not meet those qualifications so maybe the best place to start is to "research" more about writing in proper English first. I'm sorry but the field is extremely competitive so if you want to be included, then you need to upgrade those skills, otherwise other writers who pass those tests will be paid and you won't. That is how competition works in all fields. I don't like it sometimes but that's life. I have to also study the same thing in order to be more competitive if I want to be paid to write as well. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

5134 | A late night of preparing video footage for our YouTube channel and many drafts of upcoming articles, Ben and I were eager to set off to the show. A quick visit to the press centre allowed us to catch up on a few write ups and then head off to see the first brand of the day, Sinn. In horology terms, Sinn are fairly new to the game but have made a big impact with watch enthusiasts. After only a short amount of exposure to the watches, I can fully understand why.
Ben and I were immediately greeted by a friendly brand representative who gave us full access to their whole range of watches. After the initial effects of feeling like children in a sweet shop subsided, myself and Ben request to see the latest models for 2018 and then I selected a few watches I'd heard a lot about and desperately wanted to get my hands on.
The Sinn 103 Sa B E Limited was the first release we saw and were immediately blown away. The dial is an incredible sunburst blue with even darker blue sunburst on the sub-dials. Add on top the yellowed patina on the hands and markers combined with the full lumed pip on the bezel, and you've got yourself a truly stunning piece rich with heritage. For a relatively simple design, this watch has a very unique look to it and that larger size makes for a very legible dial.
Next up we look at the Sinn SRS Chrono. This watch was great on the wrist. Once again we see the use of red details throughout the watch which has now been mixed with deep black hands, indices, logo and sub dials. Normally such a dark colour on a light dial doesn't work too well, but on the SRS Chrono it looked great. The watch also using slimmer syringe style hands, which really helps bring identity to this piece.
How to create a real 'inspired by' watch?
Next up, as Ben went wondering off looking at even more watches, I headed straight for a brand I'd read an article about recently. Reservoir Watches are a French company set up only a year ago based on one mans passion for measurement instruments of days gone by. As we all know, motorsports inspired watches are very popular at the moment, however this brand has to be one of the first ones I've seen who have combined motorsports and horology passion evenly in one product.
I won't say too much about these as I'd like to cover them in more detail in the future, but the Longbridge which is inspired by the British Mini Cooper was my favourite without a doubt. Available in a green, brown and black dial this watch is a fantastic offer for any enthusiast of all things mechanical.
As the day carried on, Ben and I were having such a good time at the independent side of the show we felt it was only right to stay their and look at one more incredible brand Ben had wanted to see for a while now.
Romain Gauthier is an independent Swiss manufacturer of watches based in Le Sentier and Vallée de Joux, Switzerland. After only a short time spent with the faces behind the brand (Including the man himself!) it's fair to say their tag line "The evolution of tradition" has never been more accurate.
We were greet by Stephen from the brand who was extremely welcoming with champagne ready and waiting for us on the table. It didn't take long for the pair of us to be surrounded by some of the most incredible watches I've ever seen in person, let alone got my hands on. We were lucky enough to try on models such as the Logical One which uses some mind blowing technology which even now, I don't think I still have my head around it all.
The most stand out model to me was the Insight Micro Rotor. This 39mm case timepiece uses a thick micro rotor which is visible through the face of the watch and is available in either Natural Titanium with a blue enamel dial (from a distance you would be forgiven for thinking its stainless steel) Black Titanium with a dark grey dial giving the watch a somewhat sporty look and finally the Red Gold version which a white enamel dial. These watches were incredible thin when you consider the technology, watch making, finishing and the sheer amount of components powering these special watches.
The Black Titanium version of this watch was such a cool looking piece, it would make for a fantastic, almost understated everyday watch. However, I was and still am, obsessed with the Red Gold version I tried on. For such a complex look timepiece it some how is so traditional, classic, timeless and just purely stunning.
And that was our Day 2 at Baselworld. I was somewhat scared after the success of Day 1 and how well it went that Day 2 wouldn't be able to live up to the hype, but incredibly it did. As with every Baselworld, 2018 was another unforgettable one. The watches and the people we both met have had a huge impact on us both and we can't wait for the next opportunity see even more next year! | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

"I had heard a good deal of Colonel ALGER and General ALGER and Gov. ALGER, and what a tiptop man he was, and thinks I, I wonder if that is the little Aleck ALGER that I used to go to school with down in Richland, Ohio. I was big boy then, and Aleck was a quiet little cuss that sat in the corner, and didn't play much, and the other little youngsters used to pester him a good deal. Many a time I cuffed 'em for interfering with Aleck. You see, he was an orphan, and as good a little fellow as ever you saw.
Did you call on him inquired a listener.
Whereas my wife, Anna B. FERGUSON, has left my bed and board without just cause or provocation, I do hereby forbid any person harboring or trusting her on my account, as I will pay no debts of her contracting after this date. GEO. FERGUSON.
-MARVIN POST G. A. R.
As per announcement in the AVALANCHE, the old soldiers of the county met at the court house last Friday for the formation of a Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. The name selected, as indicated above, was in honor of the only comrade who had dided in this county, to the knowledge of any who were present, Comrade Harry MARVIN, of Beaver Creek township, who was mustered into the grand army above.
As will be seen by the roster published below, there are over 40 charter members, and if the enthusiasm manifested by those present at the organization continues, the post will flourish. the date of muster is not decided, but will be some time this month, and then the veterans can gather around their camp fire and live over again the life of field, and march, and battle.

Our mission is to change and influence the entire hosiery industry. Nylon yarn, which is currently used to produce most modern pantyhose, is created from an environmentally harmful petroleum-based manufacturing process that leads to damaging carbon emissions. More-so, modern pantyhose isn't made to last. These harmful practices in the fashion industry are all too common. We believe the world needs more innovative and environmentally conscious products to lead the way, and so Swedish Stockings was launched.
We create our pantyhose from both pre and post-consumer nylon waste. The production process is a lot less harmful to the environment than traditional nylon production and we are consistently looking for innovative and cleaner ways to produce - conserving or reusing water, decreasing emissions, reducing and recycling waste. From this highly efficient recycling procedure we have reduced energy and water consumption. We also have a recycling program. We estimate, thousands of stockings have been recycled thanks to our recycling program. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |

The new firehouse would be located at 17 Mountain Lakes Lane. Construction would be slated to start in April and take about a year, and taxes would not be increased. The new firehouse would include four bays, a ready room, offices, and a commercial kitchen, and address two key issues: (i) space to accommodate the district's six fire vehicles, and (ii) bringing the district into compliance with updated regulations, including ventilation for vehicle exhaust.
The NY State Comptroller's Office gave the school district "a clean bill of health", as Hudson Valley Valley Central School District is one of only four school districts in the region with no fiscal stress.
Superintendent Leach mentioned that the State Legislature advised the school district not to expect a big aid increase this year. The revenue budget for the current school year is $25,125,763, with the projected revenue budget for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year at $25,107,913. The current year's school tax is $57,970,526, with a projection of $59,186,600 for next year, and non-tax revenue is expected to increase to $3,230,267 from $3,197,102. Projected expenses of $90,162,712 for next year, together with anticipated funding of $89,699,431, leaves a projected shortfall of $463,281 which the school the district will be looking to close while observing the state-mandated 2% tax cap on tax increases. | en | false | [] | [] | [] |
