Just a decade ago, this commodity was outlawed. After the great defeat of Petanian aggressors by all races it was officially allowed again. The most common place where these embryos are produced is on starbases. Due to spatial concerns the animals are raised on farms - where they are slaughtered for food.
Ore is mined in asteroid fields. Depending on your skill and luck you can mine it yourself; all you need is a ship with a mining laser installed. Ore is primarily used to produce metal in Smelting Facilities.
Metal is the physical foundation for all buildings, electronics and robots. It is derived from ore in Smelting Facilities.
Every space station and building needs a lot of electronics to keep running. Look at your ship - all you will see is electronics and metal. Electronics are produced out of metal and heavy plastics in Electronics facilities.
This covers a whole range of automata. Generally they are intricate machines used to do everything from serving canapés to use as assault troops . Produced in Robot Factories out of optical components, metal and electronics. They play an important role in the automation of ship and defense module repairs.
Heavy plastics have a variety of uses, especially for electronics and hand weapons. In this dense form it can only be manufactured in Plastics Facilities.
Firearms. Many cultures regard them as a necessary accessory and feel 'naked' without one. Produced in Weapon factories out of optical components, electronics, heavy plastics.
Necessary to avoid epidemics and generally improve standard of living. Produced mainly out of various sorts of nebula gas in Medicine laboratories, you'll get them in any base or station. Allegedly also used to control slaves and keep them awake unnaturally long for work.
One of the most common forms of matter in the universe. Harvested in big nebula fields it is used to produce medicines.
The second commodity you can get in nebula fields are chemical supplies. They are needed to produce liquor and heavy plastics.
Covers all intoxicating synthetic drinks. Produced out of chemical supplies in breweries and enjoyed on every station and planet.
This unique form of matter changes continuously from one aggregation state to the other and exists in multiple quantum states at the same time. It can be collected in the very rare quantum singularities known as "Jeff K. Foam" and converted in nebula plants to huge amounts of energy compared to conventional methods.
On civilized worlds, slave trading is prohibited by law. There are, however, some class D planets where the lack of morals and shortage of water have led to the acceptance of the use of slaves. Everywhere else you should not be seen with slaves. And you should not even think of deliberately breeding them.
These shiny stones are needed in optics research centers, gem merchants and on class D planets. A byproduct of the actual "dirty" mines in asteroid fields. The powerful dune sheikhs have a strange foible for these rocks and would disappear together with their mobile palaces and harems if constant delivery would be stopped.
Expect the police in most places to take up a chase if you trade on this highly illegal and valuable end product. Drugs can bring one on a strange trip that supposedly slows down time due to the exotic matter component. They are produced in drug stations far far away from any bases or planets.
Ship fuel, one of the most readily available and cheapest resources in the universe. It allows the movement of all spacecrafts and can be obtained by scooping it from space using a fuel scoop - a must on every ship.
The Weapons, Jewelry and Robot industries all depend on these devices. Optical Components are refined from Gem Stones in Optical Research Centers. Uses vary widely; from focusing light in beam weapons to magnifying gems to forming the backbone of optical robotic sensor systems.
Gamma radiation is collected in Radiation Collectors and stored in these compact containers. They are used to power most droid functions for building defense.
A powerful building defense can only be guaranteed with intelligent defense modules, the Droids. They are put together from these Droid Modules, which are radioactive-powered robots programmed with highly sophisticated AI algorithms.
Nutrient clods are made out of detoxified bio-waste that has been significantly improved via the use of strong chemicals. They are automatically formed in Clod Generators. These clods are used exclusively for breeding space leeches, as their compact and natural form allows these leeches to hollow them out and lay their eggs inside.
Hazardous bio-material, animal excrement, indigestable tissues, and taboo or otherwise distasteful organs fall under the banner of 'bio-waste', which nevertheless can be recovered for consumption.
Disposal is only legal in Recyclotrons, Clod Generators, and the common market on starbases and planets.
Developed in the course of the Neuro-Tech Innovation Drive, this form of biological matter is the basis for the production of stim chips. Neural tissue is produced in Neural Laboratories out of animal embryos, a perfectly ethical procedure according to all major intergalactic species rights organizations.
After decades of development and billions in funding by unnamed organizations, independent scientists were finally able to come up with a completely legal alternative to drugs, the Stim Chip. While laughed at by drug lords for their weaker efficiency, Stim Chips are a decent substitute to drugs, even more so when considering lack of negative side effects such as increased crime rate, death by slave torture or winding up in a detoxification clinic.
This stim chip has been carefully refined by an experienced crew of a Stim Chip Mill by adding the impurities of Blue Sapphires and tiny traces of Rubies and Golden Beryls. Its effects on an organism are astounding - and legal! It appears to give its user a heightened sensitivity of surrounding space. It is also reported to increase focus, especially when trading or harvesting.
This stim chip has been carefully refined by an experienced crew of a Stim Chip Mill by adding the impurities of Rubies and tiny traces of Blue Sapphires and Golden Beryls. Its effects on an organism are astounding - and legal! It has been observed that combat pilots show very quick learning abilities when taking Crimson Stim immediately before battle.
This stim chip has been carefully refined by an experienced crew of a Stim Chip Mill by adding the impurities of Golden Beryls and tiny traces of Blue Sapphires and Rubies. Its effects on an organism are astounding - and legal! Users report that time seems to slow down when navigating under the influence of Amber Stim.
These massive parts are produced in battleweapon factories, out of the same commodities as robots. Starbase owners would be helpless without them: They enable huge starbase defense artilleries and the production of ship weapons.
These exotic crystals are the rarest resource in the universe. They can be collected from the proximity of Jeff K. Foams, but only during a rare special event which occurs once every few weeks somewhere in the galaxy. Additionally, the adventurous and rich have already found out other ways to acquire these glowing gems.
Extracted from the crude gems regularly discarded by miners, Blue Sapphires are found only in Sol and surrounding regions. Renowned for its deep, hypnotic shades of blue, the wealthy come to Federation territories from far and wide seeking dealers of these enigmatic stones. Gem Merchants universe-wide will pay a good price to add some Blue Sapphires to their stock. They are also highly sought after by the stim chip processing industry to refine their products with the tiniest impurities.
First discovered in Ska, Ruby Jewels can occasionally be cut from the common lesser gem stones found in nearby areas. Ruby Jewels are particularly valued for their peculiar refracting properties, which make them interesting to collectors and scientists alike. These brilliant gems have a very high resale value and are quickly snatched up by jewelers all across the universe. They are also highly sought after by the stim chip processing industry to refine their products with the tiniest impurities.
If pure starlight were condensed to a stone, it would probably resemble the Golden Beryl Jewel. The most difficult of the jewels to cut, only a master jeweler can carve a perfect Golden Beryl from the otherwise worthless gem stones found throughout Union territories. These stunning gems are in constant demand throughout the universe; particularly by jewelers wishing to study the masterful techniques used to create them. They are also highly sought after by the stim chip processing industry to refine their products with the tiniest impurities.
These space leech larva are taken from their natural mothers shortly after birth and transported in a cryogenically frozen form. This allows pilots to attach them onto their ships - which a leech baby sees as its mother - as armor-repairing orbiters, for an average time of about 25 days, at which point they become fully-fledged space leeches and leave for deep space.
X-993 Repair Drones can repair a space ship's equipment 200 times until they lose their functionality and become useless. These drones are said to be made of cybernetic parts taken from X-993 opponents, though the place of assembly is well hidden.
Neural Stimulation is the process of altering brainwaves in a positive way. This high-tech device is sensitive and said to be quite expensive. They can be acquired in the same well-hidden place as X-993 repair drones.
The mysterious package. Nobody knows what it contains - and be sure you never find out!
All that matters is that you transport it - no questions asked.
Very Important Persons need to be well protected against all of their numerous natural enemies, such as assassins, paparazzi and fanatic stalkers. They are usually very rich and can be quite eccentric, but pay well.
These kind of explosives are more robust than their conventional counterparts. Factions order their highest-ranking officers to sabotage enemy starbase in wartimes, planting this deadly cargo.
Human intestines allegedly contain an ingredient for the production of many strong illegal aphrodisiacs. Rumors say that most are obtained from slaves. This highly illegal contraband can not be bought in normal places.
Some rich non-Ska'ari believe that Ska'ari limbs bring luck; sad that many poor Ska'ari have to die for this old-fashioned superstition. This highly illegal contraband can not be bought in normal places.
The 'Cyantology' movement - which consists mainly of unqualified scientists and quack doctors outside of Keldon space - believes to have found the essence of immortality in Keldon brains. They pay good money for their freaky experiments. This highly illegal contraband can not be bought in normal places.
The two pointed bones from a male Rashkir's face are collected by fanatic officers from opposing factions to satisfy their lust for revenge. It is said that some war extremists even process these bones to shoehorns - a psychiatrist might help them more. This highly illegal contraband can not be bought in normal places. | 2019-04-20T12:47:59 | https://www.pardus.at/index.php?section=manual_twop030 |
Been thinking of entering the world of IT Consulting?
You’re either one of two groups: you’ve just graduated and the thought of sitting in an office all day long freaks you out a bit; or you’ve been in the industry as a 9-to-5er and want to try something different now.
So what do you do? Consider an alternative route, namely becoming an IT consultant. But, do you know what it involves? The picture might not be as rosy as some paint it, or as dire as some others claim.
We’ll try to give you a real picture here.
IT Consulting is tough: There’s this whole image of consultants working just a few hours a day, and then living it up for the rest of the day. This isn’t what really happens, though. Consulting is a tough business. Not only do clients expect you to be on call and helpful at odd hours of the day, you might even be working up to ten hours a day, instead of the four you imagined.
And the next time you’re at a party? Somebody is going to ask you why his or her laptop isn’t working properly. You’re going to have to be patient, and explain things well; maintain your rep and all.
Be ready for trouble: When you’re working on a long, or a difficult or perhaps even an easy project, there are chances of problems arising. Maybe the code you deployed isn’t working as it should. Or maybe the client isn’t happy with your work. Maybe your client is delaying payment. Be ready for anything.
Clients can be very dissatisfied: Maybe you did your job perfectly, beautifully, faster than you thought. Maybe you were expecting some compliments and great referrals. Instead you got a, “I’m not really happy with what you’ve done.” What do you do? Break out your people skills, and convince the client that you’ve done your job well, and exactly to their specifications. They might even try to get out of paying you. Make sure you avoid this by having an airtight contract.
Have great people skills: Do you like people, talking to them, charming them into hiring you? Does this sound like your kind of thing? IT consulting might be for you after all. Consulting in any field involves a bit- or even a lot- of schmoozing. In other words, you have to sell yourself better than your competition. You might also have to convince your client why they need an expensive piece of software, and so on.
This not only involves talking like a pro, you have to dress for the part too. Don’t expect people to be impressed with your t-shirt and artfully ripped jeans. Dress well, speak well, and let people know you know your stuff.
Be punctual: You’d think this one is obvious. But, nope. There are plenty of IT consultants out there who slack off. Make sure you stick to your project timeline as much as possible. If any issues arise, deal with them swiftly. Submit reports, updates, and/or surveys on time. You are being paid for your knowledge in a particular niche; don’t insult yourself and your client by doing sloppy work.
So there you go. The five things you need to keep in mind before embarking down the IT Consultant road. There’s definitely a demand for talented IT consultants, especially by small and medium businesses, who can’t afford a proper tech department. So good luck, and may the force be with you. | 2019-04-23T23:09:03 | http://www.techgene.com/it-consultant/ |

Gaussian processes (GP) are widely used as metamodels for emulating time-consuming computer codes. We focus on problems involving categorical inputs, with a potentially large number of levels (typically several tens), partitioned in groups of various sizes. Parsimonious group covariance functions can then defined by block covariance matrices with constant correlations between pairs of blocks and within blocks.
In this talk, we first present a formulation of GP models with categorical inputs, which makes a synthesis of existing ones and extends the usual homoscedastic and tensor-product frameworks. Then, we give a parameterization of the block covariance matrix described above, based on a hierarchical Gaussian model. The same model can be used when the assumption within blocks is relaxed, giving a flexible parametric family of valid covariance matrices with constant correlations between pairs of blocks.
We illustrate with an application in nuclear engineering, where one of the categorical inputs is the atomic number in Mendeleev's periodic table and has more than 90 levels. | 2019-04-19T22:37:43 | http://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/100378 |

After an impressive day in the lead, Omar Fraile sprinted to a second place at the final stage of Paris-Nice, just behind David de la Cruz. With an early attack, together with Jakob Fuglsang, Fraile got clear from the peloton. After a crash of Fuglsang in a descent, Fraile went for the stage win in a group with De la Cruz and Marc Soler. In a man-to-man battle at the finish, it was David de la Cruz finishing just in front of Omar Fraile. Marc Soler, finishing 3rd, won the General Classification.
The Tirreno-Adriatico dedicated the fifth stage of the race to the memory of Michele Scarponi, tragically died last April. The stage from Castelraimondo has finished in the home town of Michele Filottrano with triple pass of the Muro di Filottrano. | 2019-04-22T06:15:56 | http://www.astanaproteam.kz/modules.php?name=astana&page=news&pg=89 |

Using arrangements involving partnerships and other vehicles, investment managers have been able to structure part of their fee income so that it is subject to capital gains tax rather than income tax.
The Government has announced that it will introduce legislation, effective from 6 April 2015 to ensure that any disguised guaranteed fee income received by investment fund managers will be subject to income tax.
Once the draft legislation is available, investment fund managers will need to carefully review whether their remuneration structures will be caught. Current speculation is that these new rules will not affect sums related to performance, so called “carried interest” structures or returns which are exclusively from investments by partners. However this will need to be looked at in detail once the legislation is available. | 2019-04-22T20:41:28 | http://www.gabelletax.com/blog/2014/12/03/autumn-statement-2014-investment-fund-managers-disguised-fee-income/ |
There’s a firefight brewing between Walgreens and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). On October 10, 2012, Walgreens filed a petition asking a federal judge to lift the Immediate Suspension Order (ISO) that bans its distribution center in Jupiter, Florida, from shipping controlled substances to its stores in Florida and on the East Coast.
Back on September 14, 2012, the DEA issued an ISO on the distribution center, calling it an “imminent danger” to the public. Click here to read a blog I previously wrote when the DEA issued the ISO.
Walgreens Claims It Has Addressed the DEA’s Concerns.
In its petition, Walgreens claims the DEA ignored and “conspicuously omitted” recent and relevant information in its ISO. The pharmacy said it took voluntary steps designed to address concerns about the number of new prescriptions for controlled substances presented by pain clinic patients. Earlier this year the company also voluntarily stopped selling all Schedule II drugs, including OxyContin, at eight pharmacies that were of concern to the DEA and that were serviced by the Jupiter distribution center. Walgreens claims as a result of these efforts, the number of oxycodone pills and pain clinic prescriptions filled in recent months is an extremely small percent of the 2011 numbers, on which DEA relied upon to issue the ISO.
Walgreens is asking the federal appeals court to clear the ISO against the distribution center.
To see the Orlando Sentinel article, click here.
Numbers Released for Shock and Awe Effect.
In an earlier blog I wrote that according to the DEA, six of Walgreens’ Florida pharmacies allegedly ordered more than a million oxycodone pills a year. That number might seem big at first, but after breaking it down, it’s actually not all that scary. You have to remember that Walgreens is the biggest pharmacy retailer in Florida.
For example, if a doctor issues a pain management patient a prescription for three (3) pills a day, that is approximately 90 pills per month or 1,080 pills per year. If Walgreens has only 1,000 patients with such a prescription in a year throughout the entire state of Florida, that is in excess of one million (1,000,000) pills per year. I would guess that many single Walgreens retail stores have more than 1,000 customers per day, much less all Walgreens stores throughout Florida.
My point is that such statistics are meaningless out of context and are only meant to sound huge if one doesn’t stop and think about it.
Click here to see the press release from the DEA with the number of oxycodone pills purchased by store.
What do you think of the appeal? Should the DEA have taken this action against Walgreens? Please leave any thoughtful comments below.
I believe the DEA is overzealous and had no legitimate reason to suspend the license of Walgreen's distribution center for ALL controlled substances. I do not take pain meds, but I do take another controlled substance for a very legitimate reason, have a legitimate script, certainly am not an abuser, and have not been able to fill my VERY LEGAL prescription for over a week. This goes beyond Walgreens. It is making other companies paranoid about filling certain prescriptions that are not pain meds. This is ridiculous and in my case, dangerous to my health. I am considering taking legal action and will certainly file a grievance with the state of Florida.
Walgreens was very strict when filling my narcotics and always have been, Walgreens was taken down because they offered a less expensive service when all other pharmacies were glorified drug dealers charging- -5.00 to 8.00 a pill wlgreens never raised the price, no normal human being can afford that pill hike, they charge whatever they feel, refuse insurance on that medication, refuse medicade, and people are suffering. I would think that a cash only purchase at a hike like that would be illegal!!!!!! Walgreens has always been great, you are going after the wrong pharmacy!!!!
I think the DEA is on a crusade to stop any and everyone from selling pain medication and the do not care who the harm in the process. I also think that they are unable to keep illegal drugs off the street so they have become involved in the fight against pain management because they can actually do something about it, therefore making themselves appear useful. The situation in Florida has gone from one extreme to another. Now we have people who are really in need of these medications who are unable to get them and some pharmacies selling these meds for ten times what they would normally pay for them at a large chain.
I too have fought this battle for several years.I am not young and do hard labor work. My medication (that isn't abused)keeps me from going on SSI.I have legitimate MRI's. I have a backwards curve in my neck with every disc either herniated or bulging.I broke the first lumbar in my 30's which causes severe arthritis.The backwards curve in my neck is causing all the disc's in the lower back to go as well.I have 2 morton nueroma's in each foot which changed my gait causing further lumbar pain as well.I of course have stenosis,degenerative disc disease and that is to name only a couple. I am only 51.I feel that with the DEA moves you will see a huge rise in SSI applicants.The nuerologist that sent me to pain mngmt. said surgery would leave me little mobility and would require more surgery.I want to work.I am only replying as I wonder how many are in my situation.I do understand that there is a problem,but there are actually people who are suffering that aren't part of the problem.
For God's sake will someone please represent the chronic pain sufferers! We are being denied our legal medication. The DEA is directly destroying the doctor/patient/pharmacy relationship and condemning innocent people to death. Many innocent people have already died trying to suppress their pain with illegal drugs because the pharmacy would not fill their legal prescription. What the hell is wrong with these people in the DEA! They are killing hard working Americans who need these pain pills to work, pay taxes and live as normal a life as they can. A class action law suit needs to be filed against the DEA to stop this madness!!
I agree with the last post...... pain is not life threatening!!!!! There are dozens and dozens of other drug choices!! There is no reason for a mother, father, and son to all be on the same oxycodone 30mg prescription!!!!!!! I see this all the time in my practice........it's ridiculous. When I ask doctors "why do you always prescribe the same prescription to every patient" they answer "because that's what they ask me for". Are these doctors really that stupid?
Walgreen's in New mexico , for people who have had long term meds were asked diagnosis..? and that two hrs for paper work needed ? when you go back they over ride docs orders and cut meds to less then half without contacting the Doc ?...same meds filled for 15 yrs by same patient... & not Oxy..or told to go to another drug store ? But soon all would be the same by law?...email/write congress & senate as we have a huge problem if drug stores & dea determine our meds they said any controlled meds, for nerves, ADHD..etc.. will be decided by them, how many you need....alter script !? and things were going to get worse This is out of hand !!!....let your voice be heard..!
seems stupid that everyone's concern is the Pharmacy filling the scripts seems once you arrest the offending doctors there could be no drug problem .its all regulated all involved know exactly where dr. a office is and if the dea feels he writes too many prescriptions then they should lean on that individual. not the dispenser and final user .so why not pressure the DEA to go after the real crooks?
Thank you for the comment C.K. On June 11, 2013, the DEA announced Walgreens agreed to pay $80 million to end an investigation into whether it violated rules on the distribution of prescription painkillers in Florida and throughout the country. On top of the settlement, the Jupiter distribution center and the six stores are banned from dispensing Schedule II through Schedule V drugs until 2014.

How’s this for a morning (somewhat hot) take?
Dilfer made these comments during the latest episode of the SDS Podcast with Connor O’Gara.
“Tua, in my eight years doing this, is the most unique prospect that I’ve ever coached. He can learn faster than anybody I’ve ever seen learn… He can change each rep, he can learn from a mistake, completely correct it and not make the same mistake again. He’s got as unique of a release combined with arm strength that I’ve ever seen. It’s Aaron Rodgers-esque, if not better. (Tua) can play in tight quarters, he can threaten every area of the field.
“Think about how dynamic Alabama can be if you can threaten sideline to sideline, end zone to end zone with the passing game. You already have the five best running backs in the country, the 12 best offensive linemen, the three best wide receivers, the four best tight ends. You know what I mean? You’ve got 37 coaches that they call “analysts.” You have everything. What they haven’t had is the ability to threaten sideline to sideline, end zone to end zone with the passing game. That’s what Tua brings.
Judging by what Dilfer had to say, there really isn’t a quarterback competition in Tuscaloosa this offseason. The answer for Nick Saban should be crystal clear.
50-3? Well, yes, that might be a stretch. But Dilfer’s dead right in his analysis. Tua brings another threatening dimension to the Tide offense that is simply beyond Jalen’ reach, and is made even more effective by Bama’s running backs. There’s little doubt that defensive coordinators facing the Tide this season will be refilling their scripts for anti-depressants at a quick clip….because once again Saban looks like he has the gear to go the distance. And Tua more than likely will be leading the charge.
Tua will be the best QB of the Nick Saban era. I doubt that too many Bama fans would take AJ over Tua at this point. His potential vs most anyone else’s reality isn’t a fair comparison.
We shall see, we shall see. Hail State.
Isn’t it nice that sooooo many people know more about Alabama football than Nick Saban ?
yea right only beat my dawgs by 3 b ut not next time though. | 2019-04-24T12:10:20 | https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/trent-dilfer-alabama-beats-everybody-50-3-tua-qb/ |

On November 29, 2005, Disney announced that the popular animated Disney Channel Original Series Kim Possible would be renewed for a fourth season. At the time, Disney Channel tended to cancel series after 65 episodes, but a strong fandom base and its critical acclaim caused Disney to reconsider its decision; several shows since then have not adhered to the 65 episode rule. The fourth series premiered on February 10, 2007, and ran for 22 episodes.

On November 26, 2014, the Walt Disney Company formally announced an agreement with Turner Classic Movies (TCM), creating a deal that would benefit both media companies. TCM would help update and sponsor the Hollywood Studios attraction The Great Movie Ride, while Disney would present vintage shows and movies from the Disney Vault in a special programming block on the classic cable channel called “Treasures from the Disney Vault.” Disney and TCM have worked together in several situations prior to the deal, including a TCM Classic Cruise on the Disney Magic cruise ship, as well as a joint hosting of the screening of Mary Poppins at the El Capitan Theatre; however, this was TCM’s first foray into experiential marketing, particularly with their inclusion in The Great Movie Ride attraction.

On November 24, 1995, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights made its official premiere in Disney-MGM Studios of Walt Disney World. The show was acquired by Disney earlier that year from Arkansas businessman Jennings Osborne. Osborne’s holiday light show had modest beginnings in the 1980s, but had reached epic proportions in 1993, as his house was lit up with over three million lights. Disney was alerted to the highly popular yet contentious light display after a court case to shut down the display reached the United States Supreme Court. Disney added the display to the “Streets of America” area of the park, and continued to bring it back year after year (save for 2003, when construction prevented the lights being put into place). The display had its last lighting on January 6, 2016.

What kind of picture do the Proverbs draw concerning godly womanhood? And what way ought men act toward women, and husbands toward their wives? Hear Pastor Bill Lovell expound upon these royal words of wisdom.
To be good servants of Jesus Christ we must set priorities to develop and maintain sound spiritual lives.
To be good servants of Jesus Christ, we must set priorities to develop and maintain sound spiritual lives.
How should the young men in the church act and respond to life situations? How should the pastors lead the young men of the church? This sermon seeks to discuss how Godly leaders should lead by example the young men of the church, and how the men of the church have been called to a high standard of godliness.
How should the older women of the church live? By what standard should the older women walk? What should the relationship between the older women and the younger women in the church look like, and how can older women's encouragements help younger women in their pursuit of godliness? This sermon seeks to explain Paul's instructions to the women of the church to pursue godliness, help others to fulfill their God given gender roles, and how God's Word is ultimately honored and glorified through faithful obedience. | 2019-04-19T10:26:43 | http://www.sermoncloud.com/sermons-about-godliness/?page=5 |

The former Seattle councilman and author of ‘Becoming a Citizen Activist’ says everyone has the potential to make a difference. And he is bringing his message to Portland.
Nick Licata is a lifelong political activist who spent 18 years as a Seattle City Councilman.
His early activism involved work on anti-redlining and poverty issues in the early 1980s in Seattle. During his tenure as a city councilman, he has been an avid supporter of low-income people and progressive causes.
Licata will be speaking and promoting his new book, “Becoming a Citizen Activist,” at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 19, 2016, at Powell’s Books on Hawthorne. The book is described as a playbook for citizen activists wanting to improve the world around them. It doesn’t disappoint.
Israel Bayer: You say in your opening to the book, “You don’t have to be a Marvel comic book superhero to change the world. You don’t even have to be a saint, a revolutionary, a political leader or a community organizer.” Say more.
Nick Licata: I hesitated in using the word activist in the book title. I think sometimes people don’t realize that we all have the potential to be activists. I think what may hold some people back from trying to change their immediate environment is that the tasks ahead of us look so daunting. It’s like climbing a large mountain. The first step is recognizing that you can actually change political and social environments. A long journey starts one step at a time. Any time you begin a journey, the first step is usually the hardest because you’re going to think of a thousand reasons of why there’s something else to do first.
I.B.: In your book, you talk a lot about movement building in local government. Talk about moving people in power and elected officials closer to your position on progressive issues.
N.L.: One of the things that I discovered being inside of government is that many people get elected really wanting to make change. You don’t get elected to office to become a bureaucrat. Many times bureaucrats are a bigger hurdle to overcome solving problems than the big, bad corporations, but there’s a different reason for that.
A reason most politicians don’t follow through on what they promise is that they don’t know how to get there. They become frustrated. Also, water runs downhill. It’s much easier to start taking larger contributions from fewer people the longer you stay in office. You start talking to a narrower stream of people and are informed by a smaller group of people you trust.A reason most politicians don’t follow through on what they promise is that they don’t know how to get there. They become frustrated. Also, water runs downhill. It’s much easier to start taking larger contributions from fewer people the longer you stay in office. You start talking to a narrower stream of people and are informed by a smaller group of people you trust. It becomes easier to follow this route because of life, time or money crunches. People in power typically have more powerful networks. A lot of people get elected to office as idealists, but they become more practical. Over time the practicality begins to overshadow their idealism. In the end, it ends up hurting progressive movements overall because then elected officials can’t deliver on their promises and even worse yet, begin to drift off in other directions.
Part of my message for citizens that run for office and get elected is don’t walk away from the people that got you into office, and my message to citizens: Don’t walk away from people in office. You have to build and sustain authentic relationships.
I.B.: You spent 18 years as a Seattle city councilman. Were there times you lost your way and had to reassess where your values were?
N.L.: It is a scary process. One of the things I tried to do was tell myself every election I wasn’t going to run for office again and that life would go on. I would assume that I would either not run or not get re-elected. It’s the opposite of optimism. It’s like, OK, this is the only time I’m going to be here so I’m going to do what I want to do or what the larger community pushes me to do. Every politician worries about being re-elected. It’s a job that you’re up for review and have a new interview every two to four years.
I.B.: You said, “Many times bureaucrats are a bigger hurdle to overcome solving problems that the big, bad corporations.” Talk more about that. Tell us how you define bureaucrat and why they become a barrier in creating real social change.
N.L.: The term “bureaucrat” certainly has a negative connotation. And I don’t try to use it to describe staff. However, I have found in my 18 years in government that sometimes, all too often, unfortunately, central staff not directly accountable to an elected official see things through a narrow focus: how to get something done without taking into account what is best for the public or those who might be negatively impacted.
Perhaps they have become jaded over time as to how to look at things differently. They tend to do things the way they have always been done. And therefore that is the right way. They are not risk-takers, and because they are not risk-takers and they are not rewarded for being that way, they tend to lead newly elected officials down the path of caution, pointing to why something cannot work, like providing paid sick leave or banning plastic bags. It’s not that they are conservative or liberal, but rather they most often see the status quo as working so don’t rock the boat. Because of that attitude and frame of mind, they have a very nuanced yet powerful way of shaping issues that discourages challenging the status quo.
I.B.: It feels like the same conversation is happening in cities up and down the West Coast about the issue of homelessness and massive rental increases. What are your thoughts on the current climate and ways we can address the growing need?
N.L.: We have to be more open to encampments. It’s just a reality. It’s not a final strategy. The battle then, of course, is that neighborhoods come in and say we don’t want encampment in our neighborhoods.
The debate about affordable housing has to be a very focused and visible support for the lowest strata of people surviving on our streets and in low-income housing, our most vulnerable.
As you get pushback from neighborhoods and others, the response has to be creating more subsidized units so more people aren’t on our streets. I know the argument from the market-rate developers is that we just need more market-rate housing built and the reality is that doesn’t solve the problem we have in front of us by any stretch of the imagination.
I.B.: Talk about the angry neighborhood folks and businesses leaders pushing their agenda on housing and homelessness. It seems like you need real political leadership to stand up and say we’ve got to have more affordable housing, and that may mean more encampments in the meantime.
N.L.: It really is a frightening process to go through as an elected official. The business community and neighborhoods are going to turn out people in large numbers, but you soon realize that they don’t necessarily represent the entire community’s perspective or priorities. You have to look at the bigger picture. People want an explanation, and they want elected officials to do something. It’s not always going to be popular, but the reality is politicians should be looking to target that middle strata and to frame the conversation in a way that brings people along and ultimately helps people.
I.B.: What are the pros and cons of working on the outside of the political machine versus working on the inside of it?
N.L.: Protests, without a doubt, get media coverage, and you can help grow the movement, but ultimately the purpose of a movement is to gain power. When you think about it, what is the mechanism for power? It’s government. It may look different in different places, but the purpose of a movement is to gain political power. You have to use what political power you have or the tools you have available. One of the advantages of having an ally in government is not that he or she can vote your way, but that they are literally working with you to help frame an issue or working with you to disseminate information back out to the people. It also helps to have authentic relationships in government to help you understand the tools that are available to move an issue forward.
I.B.: Tell us more about the book itself and why Street Roots readers should pick it up.
N.L.: I wrote this book trying to look at it through the lens of how did I end up going from a grassroots activist to being inside of government for more than 18 years. In some ways it’s a how-to book. I go into how do you get political power and change society. The book dives deep, but also looks at the small steps we can all take to move an issue forward without compromising your principles. It takes almost a craftsman look at a larger journey of social activism in all of our lives and what we can do.
I.B.: Tell us what we have to be hopeful for.
N.L.: Let’s put it this way, there’s never going to be any progress without hope. In the end, the final element you have for social change is your attitude. You can do all of the other mechanics right around building a social movement, but it really comes down to three things. You really do have to have an open mind. An open mind means that you’re always listening and working to build bridges with people. The second is, you really have to believe, to make change, that there are tools available to make social change. If you’re of the attitude that the shed is empty and there are no tools, really what you’re saying is “I’m not going to do anything.” I argue that we do have tools available to us and that if you’re not picking them up to use them for the benefit of people or society, then someone else will, and we may not like it. The third element is that we have to enjoy life when we can. The pursuit of happiness isn’t a given. You have to take it. Every time we have a win, even if it’s not everything we wanted, we have to celebrate it. You can’t always focus on the half-empty glass of water. Here’s the problem: A lot of liberals will go home and celebrate and are happy with that, not recognizing that tomorrow, we have to go out and work on the other half of the glass. | 2019-04-20T22:56:10 | http://www.becomingacitizenactivist.org/published-reviews/street-roots-portland-may-12-2016/ |

Until 9th November 2018, Pace Gallery, London, is presenting an exhibition of works by the artist, spanning his career from early work until today. Through including the various stages of his artwork, the exhibition highlights the artist’s multidimensional practice, allowing narratives to form naturally as they are seen together. As you walk through the space, you see videos and photographs, and spray-painted canvases. In an interview with Thom Donovan in Bomb magazine, Pendleton describes his project System of Display as a way to “index information, an illogical approach to organising information. I wanted to come up with a system, and what I came up with was not so much a system of organisation but a means of display.” That is exactly the filter through which Pendleton portrays such historical, political and artistic events such as Minimalism, the Civil Rights movement, and the visual culture of decolonisation. What the show allows for is the culmination of these pieces and subjects as its own, wider system of organising and analysing society.
Into this, Pendleton incorporates text and black-and-white imagery to create a striking impression of past and present events, and to stimulate discussion around them: they knowingly act as a form of optical dialogue, exploring current events from the 1900s up until today through multilayered and collaged pieces that possess the same qualities as the kind of broadsheet newspaper that you might pick up in an off-licence. This conversation is best embodied by his video-portrait of dancer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer. The piece, which sits centre-stage in the exhibition space, follows a conversation between Pendleton and Rainer, at the former’s favourite Manhattan diner. They discuss their shared concerns on generational, racial, and gender differences in a dialogue that embodies that all-encompassing sense of Black Dada, and the possibilities it creates. | 2019-04-22T02:32:42 | http://amodernmatter.com/article/speaking-of-black-dada/ |

Two officers have been recruited as part of Cheshire East Council’s bid to tackle fly-tipping and waste disposal issues in South Cheshire.
The move comes in a week when fly-tippers dumped a pile of domestic waste just yards from the airman’s memorial grave in Nantwich.
A spokesperson for Cheshire East Council, said: “This is a disgraceful example of fly-tipping and is even more deplorable given the waste had been dumped so close to a memorial site.
“Having been reported to us by a member of staff, who was emptying a nearby litter bin, the waste was cleared on Monday (February 11).
“Fly-tipping is a serious offence which can carry a fine of up to £50,000 and/or a custodial sentence.
Now two new street scene improvement officers will focus on areas in Crewe where there are frequent incidents of fly-tipping, littering and dog fouling.
They will identify and investigate waste disposal issues and co-ordinate partner agencies to address them and target resources.
They will also engage with residents, businesses and landlords to give them information and advice about responsible waste disposal and recycling and support community clean-up activity.
The two new posts are being funded by Cheshire East Council and administered by Crewe Town Council, via income received in 2017/18 from fixed penalty fines for littering offences.
Wybunbury Cllr Janet Clowes, Cheshire East Council cabinet member for adult social care and integration and a member of the monitoring group, said: “Last summer we agreed to invest a further £100,000 to continue the crackdown on such crimes.
“This included maintaining the education elements of the campaign, investing in specialist bin identification equipment and agreeing a one-off payment to support Crewe Town Council’s dedicated ‘waste clean team’ – funded through income from fixed penalty fines.
“A cross-party fly-tipping monitoring group has been meeting regularly with Cheshire East officers and Crewe Town Council to support the implementation of these plans. We were recently able to finalise the funding and implementation of the two new posts.
“These new roles will help us to take the campaign to people’s doors – addressing specific waste management issues and identifying where there might be communication barriers.
The street scene improvement officers will be employed by Crewe Town Council.
They will work with the town council’s two “Crewe Rangers” who carry out street scene improvement works across the town centre.
Recycle them and collect free, pure laziness to dump stuff!! | 2019-04-22T02:18:29 | https://thenantwichnews.co.uk/2019/02/13/nantwich-fly-tipping-disgraceful-as-cheshire-east-recruits-officers/ |

There was an air of excitement as I packed up and left the 100s of midges behind. My parents had travelled up with the caravan from East Sussex to be my support crew for 10 days and we arranged to meet at the Tan Hill Inn. Which meant, well, bliss. A super light day bag, no worries about accommodation, no thoughts about where my next meal would come from or how I might imaginatively cook it on my stove, and I’d put in a request for some extra clothes, a proper pillow and a nice fluffy towel – a respite from microfibre!
I opted to take a path that was not the Pennine Way – gasp – but seeing the Way unnecessarily climb and fall on the opposite side of the river I felt vindicated as I only had a gentle rise onto the moors. Once up there it rained on and off so I sheltered in a cow-‘ause for my lunch. With less than 5miles to go, I had to consciously slow myself down as I knew the earliest my parents would be able to get there was 4pm and I’d call them when I arrived to let them know I’d made it.
The inn – which at 530m is the highest in England and possibly one of the remotest – is a popular spot for walkers, cyclist and bikers as it offers camping, bunkhouse and B&B accommodation. Plus it remains open in the foulest weather even when they’ve been snowed in for weeks they still welcome visitors. As I reached for the door handle I spotted a handwritten sign stuck to the window which read; “Due to an issue with the water supply we have had to close, sorry for any inconvenience”. Well, I nearly cried, but the porch was open so I resigned myself to waiting there. Then a guy came over, unlocked the door and said; “we’ve taken pity on you, come on in and sit by the fire and dry yourself off!”. I was so grateful for the warmth but pushed my luck by asking if the hand pumps still worked and they did! I supped my beer and steamed by the fire as the staff ate their lunch and I gleaned more information about the issue. Then the landlady appeared and asked the staff to begin a deep clean – they may as well make the best of a bad situation. Meanwhile the phone was constantly going; the message had gone out and those with bookings were calling to find out more or just complain. Amidst the melee someone left the door unlocked and so customers kept letting themselves in – despite the sign; a group of 4, a couple, another 3, another couple. The landlady was sat by the door and welcomed each patron with a smile and the same line; “we are officially closed as we don’t have any water, so you can’t use the toilets and you can’t have tea or coffee. But if you’d like an effing drink, you can pour it your-effing-self or eff off!!”. So that is just what they did, they went behind the bar, found a glass and pulled their own pints. It was absolute joyous chaos and provided great entertainment whilst I waited for my parents to arrive.
When they did, there were hugs and a few tears. I pulled us some drinks and we caught up. Then it was back to the campsite where I’d be pitched for 5 whole nights.
After a very relaxing evening in the caravan, one of mum’s home-cooked lasagnas, a G&T and a glass of wine it was back to Tan Hill in the morning for the walk across Sleightholme Moor. With only a day pack I felt like I was flying, it was great!
Somehow Allan – with a hand he pack – caught up with me, he was walking the Pennine Way as part of his PTSD therapy and raising money for a veteran’s charity having served in the army for 17yrs +. We walked and chatted, crossed under the busy A66 and continued across the moors. At a cairn I stopped for lunch and Allan decided that was him done for the day so he pitched his tent. Another couple of walkers caught up – John and John who I’d met in the Tan Hill the day before.
Shortly before the arranged pick up point there were a couple of nature reserves. One was ‘Hannah’s Meadows’ named after Hannah Hauxwell who farmed there using such simple methods that rare flower species thrive and it is now designated an SSSI. I recommend the original documentary from the 1970s called ‘Too Long a Winter’ and its sequel ‘A Winter Too Many’ about her frugal life on the farm (both are on YouTube). I had a peaceful moment in a hide looking over the reservoir; 2 oystercatchers, a heron, a gull and lots of sheep.
In the evening dad cooked a BBQ and one of my best friends; Emma happened to be in Penrith for work and she was able to drive over for some of my dad’s charred sausages. It was a great surprise and a bit of a shock to the system to suddenly be surrounded by friends and family – I’m not used to so much conversation and having to verbalise my thoughts.
Today my dad was going to join me for a large part of the day but first I had to get up over a hill and down in to Middleton-in-Teesdale. The 2.5 miles took over the estimated hour because I had binoculars and so was distracted by the many birds plus I dropped my map and had to go back about 1/4mile to find it. I found my parents at the coffee shop and then me and dad waved goodbye to mum and set off along the Tees. It was a lovely walk along the dale through meadows and copses, plus it was perfect walking weather. We passed by Low Force and High Force where there were many more walkers but out the other side of the attractions we were back to having the trail and the juniper trees (with gin berries) to ourselves.
It was a short climb at the end of the day up to Langdon Beck YHA and dad was pleased to see mum and the car. He had now completed 0.7% of LEJOG but didn’t think he could tackle the remaining 99.3!
Yesterday we had a day off and went to Richmond for some gear shopping and lunch.
Then in the morning it was back to Langdon Beck for the walk over the Tees, along a beck to Cauldron Snout Waterfall (which you need to scramble up the side of so I was very glad for the small, light bag), then on to High Cup Nick and down to Dufton.
I’d never heard of High Cup Nick before but I think it will stick in my memory forever. Coming from the south, you come from a narrow-ish river valley. As it opens up you walk across the plain and then wham! you’re stood at the top of a band of rock that surrounds this huge bowl-like feature with views to the Lake District. Absolutely stunning.
Today I was going to reach 893m – higher than I’d been so far and higher than I would get for the rest of the trip – even in Scotland. I did a sun dance but unfortunately I must have been communicating with the low mist and cloud god. After an hour of ascending towards Green Fell I went into the cloud and could only see about 20-30m around me. It stayed this way until an hour before reaching Garrigill when I descended out of the cloud. This weather made for some great photos…!
I appreciated the use of Greg’s Hut as a respite from the wind and rain whilst I had my lunch. I expected to find other wayfarers settled in for the night having decided not to continue battling through the weather, but I had it to myself. The final 6.5miles down the old corpse road were grim and hard on the feet – again I was glad I didn’t have the full pack.
Whilst I was out on the hills my parents moved base camp from Barnard Castle up to Bellingham.
It was a special day today because I had arranged to meet Ronnie and Julie (see days 8 and 38) who were going to join me for half a day of walking. We met in Garrigill and the weather was much improved – perhaps my sun dance had got stuck in an outbox.
We walked the Pennine Way up to Alston where they bought me coffee and cake and then we continued along the railway line, which was not all disused – it had steam trains running along part of it – and it was unlike many other railways lines. It was not completely straight, flat, tarmacked and enclosed, instead it was refreshingly open with nice views. We talked for hours, sharing tales of the places we had stayed. Our differing experiences of the same places were usually dependent on the weather at the time. At 3pm Ronnie and Julie turned around to walk the 12miles back to Garrigill – a 24mile day(!) – and I continued to Haltwhistle (a mere 5 extra miles) . Their parting gift was a small plastic pop bottle filled with whiskey, a very thoughtful present. | 2019-04-20T17:11:41 | https://lucywoodwalks.com/2017/07/23/pennine-way-part-2/ |
Rejoy Fashion places a high importance on information security and within our Group we already comply with a number of standards that also focus on information data security.
Rejoy Fashion will be complying with the GDPR as a processor and controller of data and have been planning and developing a programme of works which will deliver what is required by the legislation. This will involve working with our suppliers and partner organisations to ensure they can meet these obligations.
we are already undertaking a systematic review of the data we store, manage, maintain, collect, process and control. This includes offline storage and paper records. Assessments of the data will review information flow, any data transfers, risk reviews, and structural position in relation to Lawfulness, Purpose, Minimisation, Accuracy, Consent, Limitation, Integrity & Confidentiality, Record Keeping and Accountability.
we will undertake training on the GDPR and its impact on the new policies, procedures, and responsibilities in this new regime.
running alongside the work already underway, we will be reviewing the controls in place, or required.
where relevant and related, we will be using all reasonable endeavours to ensure that our third party and suppliers are complying with the GDPR.
we will be reviewing our technology platforms to analyse their operation, security, compliance in order to ensure that they meet the standards we have laid down and identify any gaps and risks.
GDPR mandates that the processing of personal data can only be undertaken when at least one of six criteria has been met. The most obvious choice for businesses already working with data is 'legitimate interests'. The legitimate interests basis has three elements: identify a legitimate interest; show that processing is necessary to achieve it; and balance it against the individual’s interests, rights and freedoms. Rejoy Fashion operates within industrial B-2-B markets. As such we acquire / build data for the sole purpose of highlighting the availability of our data capture operating within these sectors.We do not undertake mass / 'spam' broadcast marketing that targets non-relevant individuals or organisations with irrelevant information. That said, Rejoy Fashion recognise that not all target contacts that are relevant to it's operations will wish to receive information on the organisation's products. Rejoy Fashion provides an easy 'one button' unsubscribe process that enables email recipients to be automatically and permanently unsubscribed from its master mailing database. Should recipients prefer to contact Rejoy Fashion directly via other means, such as email or letter, with a request to be unsubscribed then these requests are processed within 24 hours and the requesting party notified directly of the deletion of the data. Rejoy Fashion maintain a stance of 'legitimate interest' which has been ratified by external GDPR consultants.
We will continue to monitor the programme up to the target date in May 2018 and beyond. | 2019-04-25T22:15:45 | https://www.rejoyfashion.nl/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=3 |
I’m a Baby Quaker, a Proto-Quaker. I first started visiting a Quaker Meeting about nine months ago, so I have been expecting that New Things might be born around this time. I have attended regularly, have participated in a book study group, and am about to complete the Quakerism 101 course. All of these experiences have accumulated, or soaked in, in such a way that this Christmas season is qualitatively different than in previous years.
I had already given up most of the trappings of the secular and religious cultural Christmas. Although I attended or sang at Midnight Masses for many years, I have blissfully been in a “church free zone” for about eight years. Our family wryly celebrates Festivus on the 23rd to allow for travel and time spent with the families of significant others. We have a nice dinner together and exchange simple gifts. The dog and cats have been the primary beneficiaries of this ritual, although this year there is a toddler grandson who will be the focus. Christmas Day is filled with quiet time at home, a take-out dinner, and good movies on Netflix.
This year, my habitual holiday funk-fest never took root. I remained relatively unruffled as decorations started to appear before Hallowe’en. The old seasonal depression and remembrance of traumas past just never appeared. I hung lights on the front porch the day after Thanksgiving, because it was warm outside and because I love lights and I love The Light. I’m not sure if the rest of my non-Quaker family notices a difference in me, but I surely do. I still have clients to see and a few gifts to purchase, but I don’t feel the stress and pressure of previous years. This year, I am more calm, more patient, and more mindful, relishing times of rest, refreshment, and silence. I enjoy my family and my loved ones more. It’s not so much that I have embraced simplicity, as that Simplicity has embraced me.
All I want for Christmas is to be in communion with the Christ Spirit, the Inner Teacher, The Light. As I nurture that connection and work on “the inside job,” my role in the outer world becomes more clear and powerful. So this year, when “the time called Christmas” comes, I will be mindful, and ready. Like on any other day.
How does simplicity guide your pursuit of excellence? | 2019-04-24T01:50:50 | https://simplicityprocess.com/2014/12/ |

Gov. Charlie Baker joined HMS faculty members in discussing the opioid crisis and the role physician education must play in fighting it.
As health care officials and policymakers nationwide continue to search for ways to slow the death toll from opioid abuse, most agree that education and cooperation among physicians are crucial to the effort.
Harvard Medical School is following its own sense of duty with action, Dean George Daley said Tuesday, opening a conference on opioid addiction.
“The Opioid Crisis: HMS Responds with Education” featured remarks by Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and several Harvard faculty members.
Baker described his awakening to the crisis during the 2014 campaign for governor. At every speaking event, he recalled, a few people would hang back after his prepared remarks to talk to him specifically about addiction, usually to opioids, which include prescription painkillers, heroin, and the synthetic opioid fentanyl.
“When I ran for governor, I didn’t run to work on the opioid epidemic. This is one of those things that found me as a candidate,” he said.
Baker asked aides to gather more information on the problem. The statistics that came back were “terrifying,” he said. The U.S., with only 5 percent of global population, consumes 80 percent of the world’s opioids. More than 200 million opioid prescriptions were written in 2014 alone. Further, 66 percent of those admitted to hospitals left with an opioid prescription. Eighteen percent were still using the drugs a year later, and 8 percent of that group had an addiction problem.
After taking office in 2015, Baker convened a working group whose report contained some 60 recommendations, most of which the state is working to implement. Key among those guidelines, Baker said, are requirements that opioid education be part of medical training, a focus on wider treatment options in underserved parts of the state, a new monitoring system to track prescribing patterns, and limiting initial opioid prescriptions to a seven-day supply.
For the first six months of this year, the state has seen a drop in opioid-related deaths and opioid prescriptions for the first time in 15 years, Baker said.
The governor cautioned that synthetic opioids are an emerging problem. Statistics for heroin and prescription opioids would be more encouraging if fentanyl and other synthetic opioids hadn’t arrived on the scene.
Bertha Madras, a professor of psychobiology, a physician at McLean Hospital, and a member — with Baker — of the federal Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission, blamed the crisis in part on a shift over the past three decades from fears about addiction to concerns about chronic pain.
“We became a nation awash in prescription opioids,” Madras said.
Increases in prescription opioid use and addiction helped fuel what Madras described as a “perfect storm” as heroin re-emerged in force and fentanyl became more widely used. She said 80 percent of people addicted to heroin and fentanyl today began with prescription opioids.
An important part of the solution, Madras said, is prescreening patients for past addiction to see who might be vulnerable to relapse. Reducing unnecessary prescriptions and expanding treatment options are also crucial, she said.
HMS is at work on the education piece of the puzzle in a couple of ways, according to Assistant Professor of Psychiatry Todd Griswold, director of medical student education in psychiatry and a psychiatrist at Cambridge Health Alliance, and David Roberts, dean for external education and the Steven P. Simcox, Patrick A. Clifford, and James H. Higby Associate Professor of Medicine.
Given the role of prescribing habits in fostering the crisis, medical schools must make it a priority to improve physician education, Griswold said. He described HMS curriculum changes that integrate pain management and substance use issues into each course, so medical students understand that addiction is not merely a side issue.
“Medical schools have a solemn responsibility here,” Griswold said.
For working physicians and other medical professionals, HMS has created free online courses offered through its Global Academy platform, Roberts said. The three courses contain 24 hours of material. The School has also created a HarvardX course on opioid addiction. | 2019-04-26T01:49:09 | https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/10/gov-baker-others-talk-doctor-training-as-front-line-tactic-in-opioid-fight/ |
One person was stabbed during a Saturday morning robbery near downtown Las Vegas, police said.
About 7 a.m., the Metropolitan Police Department was called to the 700 block of Las Vegas Boulevard North, near East Bonanza Road, to investigate reports of a robbery, according to Lt. William Matchko. When officers arrived, they found at least one person who had been stabbed multiple times.
The person who was stabbed was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but their condition was not immediately known. It also was not clear whether that person was a suspect in the robbery.
Matchko said three possible suspects were detained for questioning but did not provide further details. | 2019-04-21T06:42:43 | https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/stabbings/1-stabbed-after-robbery-near-downtown-las-vegas-1566315/ |

Temperatures likely to fall to 0 by Monday morning.
GALION - Grocery shelves were emptying, salt trucks were out on the streets and the dials of thermometers were falling Friday afternoon across North Central Ohio.
Residents of the region were bracing themselves amid an array of rumors about the approaching winter snow storm.
"Everyone's in panic mode," said Kim Gulling, night manager of ACE Hardware in Bucyrus.
Her customers had been buying salt, shovels and batteries most of the week, most of them preparing to be snowed in the entire weekend.
"We even have generators on sale right now," Gulling said.
Those are just a few of the important items everyone should have on hand ahead of the storm, said Rick Evans, interim director of the Richland County Emergency Management Association.
"You should always have your disaster kits ready," Evans warned.
He said people should be prepared to live a few days without electricity. Someone in the region will lose power this weekend, and there's no way to know who that will be.
"Chances are a lot of limbs will be coming down," Evans said. "You have to prepare."
Never run a generator inside a home or garage, keeping them always in a well-ventilated area. Evans recommends everyone keep working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors throughout their home at all times.
He recommended that outdoor pets should be brought into warm areas, especially at night.
Temperatures were expected to slowly fall from 34 degrees Friday afternoon to 0 degrees Monday morning, according to Brian Mitchell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service out of Cleveland.
A winter storm warning is in effect across the region from 12:01 a.m. Saturday until 10 a.m. Sunday, Mitchell said. Snow falls will range from about 6 to 9 inches.
"The problem is going to be the gusty winds, which could be 35 to 40 miles an hour," Mitchell said.
Those winds will likely lead to heavy drifting, which could keep snow plows from clearing roads known to drift. Motorists are asked to keep travel to a minimum.
"The heaviest snow will be in the afternoon into the late evening hours Saturday," Mitchell said.
Temperatures will stay just below freezing throughout the day Saturday, then will begin to fall that night. Mitchell said temperatures will be in the high teens by Saturday evening.
"Mid-teens Saturday night and then it will stay in the mid-teens Sunday," Mitchell said.
After a low around 0 degrees on Monday morning. Mitchell said it could rise above freezing again Tuesday morning. A weaker storm will drop temperatures again sometime Wednesday.
With all the snow, Evans said people should be careful not to exert themselves too much.
"Don’t be shoveling heavy wet snow unless you have to," Evans said. "If you do, take frequent breaks and dress warmly because it’s going to be cold."
Despite most people's concern for the upcoming snow, not everyone is getting excited.
"I live in town, so I'm not panicking," Gulling said. "I'm ready for a good snow."
Public warming centers are heated public facilities where any resident can go to during periods of extreme cold temperatures to stay warm and safe.

Is your marriage/relationship more often negative than positive?
Do you feel indifferent towards your spouse/significant other, or sense that s/he feels indifferent to you?
Are you looking for something different from your relationship but can’t even define what?
Do you find yourself dreading being with your spouse/significant other on a regular basis?
Has your spouse/significant other cheated on you?
Do you frequently wonder whether your marriage/relationship is going to make it?
While this is by no means an exhaustive list, a “yes” answer to any of these questions is a good indication that it might be time to seek the help of a couples counselor. Marital therapy can do a lot for a couple, whether the relationship is really on the brink or is just has a few rough spots that need smoothing out. The intervention of a trained and objective professional can make a big difference.
Your couples counselor can help you get down to the root of what the problem in your relationship really is. Often a couple will come into the therapy room with complaints about issues that are really don’t get at the heart of the trouble – like how to squeeze the toothpaste, or what one person or the other said last night. In truth the issue likely runs much deeper, and a marriage therapist can help discover what that is.
Another important way the relationship counselor can help is to teach a couple to communicate about a problem more effectively. Frequently when there are important values at stake people can get very emotional. When couples come to counseling and there is already a lot of anger, hurt, and resentment, it is hard for them to speak productively, i.e., without hurling insults and accusations. A competent couples therapist will see to it that a conversation can happen in which the couple can move beyond this level and actually get to discuss and resolve the issues at hand.
Finally, a marriage counselor can offer guidance on how to go forward in the relationship. While it is not the counselor’s place to suggest to a couple that they should or should not break up, the counselor can propose ideas of what kind of things would help a couple make that decision for themselves, and what kind of behaviors might make the result they decide on more or less likely.
Of course, couple counseling is an intense process that cannot be boiled down to a few bulletpoints; nonetheless, this brief outline will hopefully help you think more clearly about whether it’s time for you to seek relationship counseling and what you might get out of it.

Google has unveiled its mobile wallet service, to much fanfare, in New York, joining a field of well established technology, payment and wireless network companies, not to mention a slew of start-ups, in the process. To further hype up the event, one of Google’s rivals, eBay’s subsidiary PayPal, immediately greeted the search giant’s new foray into the online payment processing provider’s home turf with a law suit.
Google Wallet, launched in beta, is an Android application that enables users to store multiple credit card accounts, as well as a Google prepaid card. The app is password-protected and enables users to make purchases at participating stores by waving (or tapping) their phones by a specially equipped point-of-sale (POS) terminal.
The app is only compatible with near-field communication (NFC)-equipped smart phones, of which currently there is only one available on the U.S. market — the Google Nexus S 4G, available for Sprint customers. NFC allows the wireless exchange of information between enable devices within short distances (up to 8 inches or so).
Additionally, at present Google Wallet users can only store the account information of MasterCard cards issued by Citi. The NFC data exchange is facilitated by MasterCard’s PayPass contactless technology. Currently there are about 135,000 merchant locations in the U.S. equipped with PayPass POS terminals.
The Wallet PIN protects access to the Wallet Application itself. If a user enters the PIN incorrectly too many times, the Secure Element [the chip where card information is stored] is disabled and cannot be used for payment until it has been reset by a combination of the issuing bank, the Trusted Service Manager, and the user. Resetting the PIN requires the user to reprovision their credit cards to the Wallet, thereby forcing a would-be thief to provision all the card credentials from scratch. In addition to this, the Secure Element prevents an individual from reading any information directly from it. There are multiple security components to its design that make it difficult for any criminal to extract the data contained within its memory.
If malware compromises the phone’s operating system, the Secure Element is designed to protect the credentials. The Secure Element’s OS and the data contained in the Secure Element are completely isolated from the phone’s OS. Indeed, the Secure Element hardware is separate from the other storage mechanisms on the phone. Further, the phone’s OS does not have the capability to read any data from the Secure Element.
Only the future will tell how well this “Secure Element” protects cardholder data.
As we reported in our first post on the Google Wallet project a month and a half ago, the search giant is not really interested in the payment processing aspect of the new service. In fact, Google will not be getting any portion of the processing fees, collected by Citi and MasterCard.
Google is creating a new mobile information management platform. To that end, in conjunction with the wallet, the search giant is launching Google Offers, a service that will be sending coupons and deals to users, similarly to what GroupOn does. The company says that it will not have access to the card account information and transaction history of its wallet users, something that would run squarely against industry regulations anyway. However it will be monitoring the time of the purchases and coupons used.
It is clear that Google wants to keep track of consumer purchase patterns, although they claim such data will not be used for targeted ads. I wonder, what else could this information be used for? | 2019-04-20T02:22:16 | http://blog.unibulmerchantservices.com/google-joins-in-the-mobile-wallet-fray/ |

It is a great thing when you find discounts on items you need. Coupons are good, but take time to find. Regardless of the strategy you use when shopping online, the below article will help you. Keep reading to put more money in your pocket.
Compare products from one store to another online. Even compare different brands if you can. Choose one that has all of the important features that you need and is priced fairly. Make sure that you’re checking out your favorite stores to see when new products are available.
With gothic shopping, begin seeking out good sales early in the week. Wednesday is usually the first day sales ads appear. Lots of conventional stores offer weekend sales, so online retailers like to get a head start. Just do a little research, and you’re likely to find some great midweek sales.
Always read all of the details and disclaimers about items that you are looking into buying. Online pictures are often deceiving. They can give a product a distorted size. Always read the description completely to find out exactly what to expect if you buy.
Ensure you always conduct your gothic shopping on a secured computer connection, such as your home Internet. Hackers scour Wi-Fi networks and public locations to look for potential victims, so avoid using them when shopping.
Review your online purchases before submitting, always. When it comes to making an online purchase, there are many things you have to keep straight about the product, such as its size, color, and style. All of this information can be extremely confusing to keep straight. Review your entire shopping cart to be certain you are ordering exactly what you want.
When you shop online, see if you can postpone non-essential purchases until holidays. Like actual stores, online stores offer sales during holidays like President’s Day and July Fourth. Certain sites provide massive discounts, free shipping, or perhaps even both.
Review sites such as Coupons.com prior to making any shopping decisions. You can find great coupons from both retailers and manufacturers, which can often save you a great deal of money. The key is to visit such sites before staring to do your shopping.
This article has it all, every tip and trick you need to keep your shopping bill down. The Internet gives you access to a global marketplace, so you’ll always be able to find a great deal if you know how to look. Utilize this information daily while you shop for the deals you want.

Nations Press feature US Marine Records Homecoming, Gets Surprised AFTER Seeing His WIFE With another MAN in the Bathroom!
US Marine Records Homecoming, Gets Surprised AFTER Seeing His WIFE With another MAN in the Bathroom!
Marines and soldiers give and sacrifice their own life and time away from their homes and families to do their duty of defending our country for us to have a safe and war-free environment. So, it will be extremely heartbreaking and heart-piercing to come home from a war zone after a long time to arrive to your family looking all happy and then, seeing your wife cheating on you.
The US marine was so excited to finally see his loved ones and he was even about to surprise his wife and daughter with his arrival but what when he got home, the real surprise was awaiting him instead. He must be feeling all types of things especially with the great revelation of seeing his wife share an intimate moment with another man.
When he first entered the house, his daughter was so happy to see him and was the first to welcome his arrival. He was glad to be reunited with his little girl again and now can’t wait to see his beloved wife. But a few moments later, his nostalgia of coming back home turned into a nightmare. He entered the room upstairs to look for his wife, and he had the shock of his life when he saw his other half with another US marine.
The two said parties were bewildered of the unannounced homecoming of the husband and didn’t know what to do. But, the guy was quick to come back to his senses and immediately backed away from the wife and ran away from the house leaving her to face the consequences.
Having someone you love be in the arms of another person definitely is a kick to heart and ego. But, slow claps for the marine husband for not letting his emotions override him and make a scene. Well. I can’t say the same thing for the wife, though and I hope she learns a valuable lesson through it all. | 2019-04-20T00:28:14 | http://www.nationspressph.com/2017/05/us-marine-records-homecoming-gets.html |
Tibetan in India unveil a banner with images of those who self-immolated during a protest rally in Siliguri city, Nov. 28, 2012.
Two more Tibetans have burned themselves to death in protest against Chinese rule in Tibetan-populated areas, sources said Thursday as a U.S.-based human rights group said the increasing burning protests highlight a failure of the Chinese authorities to address Tibetan grievances.
The latest burnings by two men in Gansu province brings the self-immolation toll to 89 so far, with 27 occurring this month alone.
Tsering Tashi, 31, set himself ablaze near a local government office in Luchu (in Chinese, Luqu) county on Thursday while Bendey Khar, 21, died after torching himself in Tsoe (Hezuo) county on Wednesday, Tibetan exile sources with contacts in the region said.
Both the counties are in the Kanlho (Gannan) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
Tsering Tashi, a father of two young daughters—seven and three years old—self-immolated "in protest against the Chinese policy in Tibet and for Tibetan political freedom," an exile Tibetan with contacts in the county told RFA's Tibetan service.
Bendey Khar, 21, "called for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Tibet, the release of all Tibetan political prisoners, freedom of religion and language, as well as the protection of Tibet’s fragile environment," according to the Central Tibetan Administration, the official name of the Tibetan government-in-exile based in India's Dharamsala hill town, where Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is living.
Sources said security has been tightened in the two areas where the self-immolations occurred.
The rise in the burning protests highlights the failure of Chinese authorities to address Tibetan grievances, Human Rights Watch said in a statement Thursday.
It said that Beijing's increasingly pervasive and punitive security measures in response to the protests have "exacerbated the situation" in Tibetan areas of China.
The group said Beijing had authorized increasingly aggressive moves against both individual Tibetans and Tibetan communities where the self-immolations had taken place.
Since late October, officials have responded to the burning protests by punishing the families and communities of protestors, characterizing immolations as criminal offenses, arresting those associated with the self-immolators, and deploying paramilitary forces and restricting communications and travel in areas where the protests have occurred.
Human Rights Watch asked governments committed to promoting human rights to jointly urge the Chinese government to address Tibetan grievances. It suggested that they form a contact group or issue a joint statement on longstanding human rights problems in Tibet.
“The central government should devote as much energy to addressing the deep-rooted problems facing Tibetans as it is on punishing the families of those who have taken the drastic step of protesting by self-immolating,” Adams said. | 2019-04-18T18:35:51 | https://www.rfa.org/english/news/tibet/burn-11292012212748.html |

Most centrifugal and masticating juicers have complex parts that could pose a challenge when cleaning. Good news: manufacturers know that and target to make easy to clean juicer machines.
In our pursuit of good health, we have come across juicing. Truthfully, juicing has been around for eons, and it just took some of us longer to realize the benefits that we could derive from it.
Having grown up in a family of avid juicers, (I sometimes think my mom valued her Breville manual juicer than she did us) I know a thing or ten about juicing and juicers. I will tell you this for free; nothing is as cumbersome as cleaning a juicer.
The best things in life take their time. So does this easy to clean juicer. I have owned the SKG New Generation masticating juicer for over 10 years now, and the results of my juicing have been nothing short of refreshing.
This cold press machine does not heat up, and so the juice does not go through oxidation. It retains its nutrients and 100 percent the taste from the fruits or vegetables. Its 240W motor rotates leisurely to ensure that you get the highest quality of juice. The blade is pure stainless steel and is just as easy to clean as any other part of this juicer.
The SKG juicer knows no waste. The pulp from the juicer comes out dry as a bone such that you cannot use it for any other thing (isn’t that what we all want?) The chute from this easy to clean juicer machine is 76mm wide (can you believe that?).
With this kind of width, who needs knives to chop the fruit and vegetables? All you have to do is wash them and pop them! And when cleaning up time comes, you can breeze through it as well. The SKG has detachable parts, all which are dishwasher friendly. You will not have to spend the better part of your morning dreading the clean up. Just dislodge the pieces and pop them into the dishwasher.
Granted, SKG is pricey. I bought mine 10 plus years ago, and it was still costlier than most juicers on the market. It has served me well, though. I have only had to utilize the warranty once in those ten plus years (for a minor repair).
First things first; unplug the juicer. We do not want you electrocuted now, do we? Then disassemble the parts, which is quite straightforward. I always put a plastic bag inside the pulp container to save me the trouble of cleaning it. Then I place the auger, hopper, juice cup, nozzles, and the mesh in warm, soapy water. I let them soak for two minutes then wash then gently using the cleaning brush. I pay close attention to the auger, the nozzle, and the mesh. I find that I prefer hand washing them to using the dishwasher (though you can). Four minutes top, that is how long it takes me to clean the parts. You can assemble them in one minute just before the next juicing process.
This easy to clean juicer looks like a weapon of some sort of destruction. Just as well because the juice that it produces destroys body fat. The Champion juicer is not only easy to clean but has qualities that make it the ideal purchase: ability to make thick butter. You can use it as a food processor too! (Two for the price of one, huh?) It also comes with a 10-year limited warranty and various warranties on the parts.
Its processing speed of 1725 RPMs and 540-wattage set it apart from the other juicers, giving it a place of grandeur on the table in easy to clean juicer reviews. You can use it commercially given its heavy-duty design. The chute is 1.75 inches, (smaller than most masticating and centrifugal juicers) but it serves its purpose. You do not have to chop the ingredients into very tiny pieces to have them fit.
It weighs a ton (literally)! But then again, it is a designed for commercial use.
The champion is a delight to use and clean. The parts are so simple, so it takes you all of 3 minutes to pull them apart and to clean it up. Once you have unplugged your juicer, the pulp container is probably going to be the first thing you want to remove (I know I do). The auger cleans quite well in soapy water, and a simple scrub will get rid of any stuck pulp (stringy celery is especially naughty). The filter and the screen are the only components that need more attention. If you let them soak in the water even if for a minute, you will have an easy cleaning time.
Omega J8006 Juicer is easy to clean and slow to juice. With its 80 RPMs, 110-voltage motor you can count on it to bring out 100 percent flavor from your ingredients, (this includes beets, carrots, and even wheatgrass for you color lover). It also comes with a 15-year warranty (is that not a lifetime in juicer years?). Did I mention it could turn your nuts into butter and grind your coffee? You got that right.
The parts are not only sturdy but also easy to disassemble for cleaning. For the most part, you just need to rinse them out. The blades and the exterior are all made of stainless steel, which makes for easy cleaning and ensures safety from rust.
Due to its slow speed, the juice that you make keeps in the fridge for longer (up to 72 hours). There will be no oxidation, and so your juice retains all its nutrients and flavor. I’ll drink to that!
I like the size of the chute and the attached cylinder because they make for an easy rinse. All you have to do when you clean this juicer is get rid of the pulp, rinse the pulp tank them move on to the other parts. The nozzle is quite stubborn since it plays such an important role. A run through your soapy water is all it needs.
The strainer is where you should focus your energies. I always wash it last so that it soaks well for me to run the brush through. Though the parts are dishwasher friendly, I hardly use it. I prefer to rinse them off, which takes me 3-5 minutes. One note, though; it needs to be cleaned as immediately you are done with juicing to avoid the food particles sticking onto the auger. Assembly is a walk in the park.
This powerful machine has a 110-V motor, which means that your juices are going to undergo minimal or no oxidation. For those (like myself) who prefer to make large batches of juice for a while day’s consumption, this easy to clean juicer keeps it good for 72 hours.
Apart from the easy cleaning, I find the multipurpose property quite helpful. It comes with seven nozzles for grinding and food processing. Make your butter, homemade pasta, baby food, and a host of other things using your juicer, and then clean the mess in less than two minutes!
The chute is quite small (1.75 mm), but they have made the feeding part bigger to make up for the smaller tube. It will require you to chop up your ingredients a bit, but you compensate for that time when cleaning.
With the Kuvings, your primary concern will be the screen. Every other part-the chute and the pusher clean very quickly. Forget warm, soapy water if you do not have it ready. Just rinse them thoroughly then brush the screen as though someone is paying you for it. You will be through with disassembly and washing in just under three minutes. Assembly could take you less than a minute.
As with other cold press juicers, the Vonshef Masticating Juicer does not grind your fruits and veggies. It squeezes them into a pulp to slowly but effectively extract all the juice. The powerful 200W motor takes on the wheatgrass, carrots, ginger roots, and leafy kales head on, to give you a nutritious yet delightfully tasty glass.
The one thing that most people may not know about slow juicing is that it not only ensures that taste stays intact, but that also reduces oxidation to retain the nutritional value of your ingredients. This aspect is what sets aside the masticating juicer from the centrifugal version.
The parts of the VonShef Professional Slow Juicer are detachable, and so you can take them apart easily to clean them either by hand or using your dishwasher. Did I mention that it comes with a cleaning brush? The chute is also thankfully bigger, so goodbye chopping.
The spout is too big and could cause a mess when collecting the juice. I am glad it comes with a one-liter collecting tank.
The parts of the Vonshef Professional Juicer are quite easy to disassemble. I have heard people complain about this part, but all you need to do is pull the top that contains the chute out. The pulp tank detaches quite easily and then you can now remove your chute cylinder and pusher to run through water.
I dissembled the parts before doing this review in only 48 seconds. All the parts are dishwasher friendly too. I noticed that if you take longer than five minutes to clean it (after you are done with juicing), the mesh becomes too sticky and could be forced to soak it for 24 hours for it to clean thoroughly.
As far as centrifugal juicers go, Hamilton has some of the best design and models. The Hamilton Beach Juicer has a 1.1 horsepower that chops your ingredients in the speed of lightning. You will be chugging down your drink before you neighbor can get their car out of their driveway.
I was afraid that the complex parts would be a cleaning nightmare. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the parts are all dishwasher friendly! All I had to do was to disassemble them then load them into the top shelf of the dishwasher. Sigh! This easy to clean juicer only gets better because the chute of this beautiful gadget is broad enough to allow in whole apples and oranges. And it does excellently with roots and carrots too, how’s that for efficiency!
I gave up on making green juice using this juicer a long time ago. It tries but the pulp that comes out usually has enough juice to fill a glass. It does well with other hard vegetables, do I will I decided to focus on its strengths.
Once you have removed the pulp tank, there is not much left for disassembly. It comes with a cleaning brush, which makes an otherwise difficult job less intimidating. The real job when cleaning the Hamilton Beach juicer is in its micromesh strainer. That part retains so many tiny fragments of pulp that stick together, so ensure to soak it for at least a minute if you do not want to scrub it for 5. It took us 4 minutes to disassemble and clean this juicer.
When I told a friend that I was doing an easy to clean juicer machines review, she recommended that I go over to her place to see the Nutri-Stahl in action. I obliged (because I cannot say no to a glass of chilled freshly made juice). I found the daughter swinging the juicer when I got there (mommy was attending to other things).
After the initial shock seeing a seven year old swinging a juicer almost half his weight (good workout by the way, not that I recommend it), I noted how sturdy the handle was. I even gave it a little sewing myself. The material is also made to last for longer that one cares to imagine. (She’ll probably hand it down to the daughter).
It has a powerful motor that fires up and makes juice in less than 10 seconds. The 3-inch chute saves you prepping time. She cleaned up the parts in 1 minute (she has put a small bag inside the pulp tanks, and so none of the pulp got there. As for the blade and other parts, we dissembled them in a less than a minute and rinsed them. They are also dishwasher friendly for the days when you are too lazy to hand wash.
Unfortunately, it performs poorly with leafy vegetables. It also does not come with a cleaning brush, but you can get that from the stores.
One look at the Nutri and you will notice that it has to be easy to clean. After lifting the pulp container and cleaning the edges of it, your job is halfway done! The assembly time is less than a minute and so is disassembly! The pusher, easy rinse, and the chute cylinder just needs a little scrubbing. The strainer has tiny holes, so you may need to spend a bit longer scrubbing it. The cleaning brush works wonders. Total time for disassembling the parts and putting them back together; 4 minutes. The dishwasher handles the job quite well too.
Its 850 W give it the power to juice fruits and soft vegetables to your desired consistency. The Gourmia GJ-750 has a huge chute to save you preparation time. It also has dual speed settings for when you want to switch things a little. You have the option to have it work faster or to slow it down for ingredients that require less speed.
Cleaning the Gourmia GJ-750 is blissful. The wide chute allows for a peaceful cleaning process, and all the other parts detach easily for you to rinse fast. When you do not have the time to rinse them out, just throw them in the dishwasher. Yes, all the parts are dishwasher friendly.
Leafy greens are a no-go zone. They come out looking as though a squirrel has chewed them.
Your focus will be the strainer. All the other parts only need a quick rinse through water. You can give them a simple scrub with the cleaning brush just to be sure that you got all the particles or you can run them through the tap (I find that easy, though water is wasted). The strainer needs more attention to remove all the stuck fiber. As for the pulp container, a simple rinse will do.
This one of a kind easy to clean juicer has a 1000-watt motor for speedy and efficient juicing. Unlike most centrifugal juicers that have two-speed settings, Oster JusSimple has five! (Hello vegetable juices). It handles hard nuts and vegetable well, due to its power and speed settings. It features a wide chute and a large pulp tank for a smooth sail.
Cleaning only takes a few minutes of your time. The filter (which is the bone of contention in most juicers) is designed in a way that makes it easy to clean with minimal scrubbing.
The parts can be a bit difficult to replace if broken. You have to source them from the manufacturer, which could take a little longer to deliver. Luckily, you have a year’s warranty.
Time taken to disassemble the dishwasher-friendly detachable parts: 28 seconds.
Cleaning time: It took me less than three minutes. I removed the pulp container and then got out the strainer to soak. I only let it sit in the sink for thirty seconds before cleaning. It cleaned out faster than I expected. Total time taken: 3 minutes.
The Breville brand has been in the juicer business for ages, and they have mastered the art of making the best juicers. A beautiful but sturdy exterior, parts that are dishwasher friendly and motor power to make juice in less than a minute make the Breville JE98XL juicer stand out.
Vegetables come out half done. It does excellently with fruits but cannot extract as much juice from leafy vegetables as its masticating counterparts.
The Breville Juicer comes with a brush that makes cleaning time an easy task. I only have to worry about the strainer and once that is well scrubbed the rest of the parts just need water and a bit of touch. All the parts are dishwasher friendly for the days when you can’t be bothered to hand wash.
I have an attachment to my masticating juicers as I have had them for so long. The SKG Juicer, Champion Juicer, and Omega are members of the family. They have served me well in my years of juicing (and I use them at least thrice a day), and I would highly recommend them.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have the busiest schedule and therefore anything that I use has to save me time. These juicers are dishwasher friendly and quite easy to disassemble. As for the centrifugal kind, I use them for their power and speed. I highly recommend the Breville JE98XL, which joined the rest of the family four years ago. Happy juicing! | 2019-04-22T17:57:06 | http://www.juicingnation.com/easy-to-clean-juicer-reviews/ |
Three of the museum’s boats, the Reaper, the Research and the Lively Hope, (above, left to right), are recognised as being of national significance by the National Register of Historic Vessels and are included in the National Historic Fleet.

Its late and I am too excited about college football starting tonight and the USC Gamecocks beating NC State, so I am going to make this a quick blog entry.

I was going for splits right around marathon pace with a warm up and cool down. My splits were pretty consistent (9:27, 8:50, 8:49, 8:52, 8:54, 8:51, 10:11). | 2019-04-23T14:01:51 | http://www.mooreonrunning.com/2009/09/mid-week-run-9-3-09.html |
It's really up to you...for the most part.
The road to financial independence can be just as rocky (and exciting!) as your career path and love life—especially since there are many factors beyond our control. However, upon observing the behavior of the truly wealthy and successful, it's easy to notice that there are similar habits and practices to follow among them.
Start young...but if that's too late, it's okay. Just start ASAP.
There's a famous saying that it takes twenty years to become an overnight success. And anyone who has succesfully launched a product or handled a major project at work will know this to be true. While things do change in the blink of an eye, those changes are set in motion by decisions and actions you've made in the past. It may take one exam to pass a course, but if you've been paying attention since day one, you won't need to study as hard for it. The Facebook or Instagram page of your side business can blow up and get thousands of likes in a day, but only if you take the time to learn how to capture your audience with engaging posts. Great ideas pay off, but only if you invest time and plenty of work!
According to Ramit Sethi on Inc., the Domino Strategy is what turned Elon Musk into the successful man he is today. This strategy is where you "put the dominoes in just the right sequence so that each small step makes the next, bigger step possible." In some cases, we become so anxious about the idea of a task that we don't realize it will only take ten minutes to finally get it done. Remember that the first step to success could just be as simple as a phone call, so start thinking in steps instead of drowning in the big picture.
Wealthy people "try a lot of different things, knowing that a lot of it will fail," says a feature on Entrepreneur. "They take those risks because they know that failure is just part of the process in discovering what will truly work to build more wealth." Knowledge is power, and what's the best way to learn than through experience? Of course, this doesn't mean you jump at every single opportunity made available to you. It's easy to get carried away, especially when the returns seem so promising. Take risks, but be smart when you do.
We can't stress this enough, especially after telling you to take risks. Don't depend on one investment to get you through the rest of your life—especially if you have a family to provide for. If a business prospect is promising enough that you're considering putting all your eggs in one basket, then do the necessary research and projections first.
Start a business, or invest in one.
While investments like mutual funds and life insurance are always good to consider, some argue that they're more vehicles for preserving your wealth rather than growing your money. And a business with great potential (make sure an expert vouches for this, and make sure someone vouches for your expert!) could be an aggressive way to grow your income. According to BBC, people with ultra high net worth "invest in stocks and bonds, but they also grow their money by buying companies and investing in unusual securities."
Keep your friends close, and your life pegs, closer.
Jeff Rose, certified financial planner, author and blogger at GoodFinancialCents.com, says that “if you want to be rich, hang around rich people.” This isn't just to up your social status or to expect to save money with freebies, but to be surrounded by people you would like to emulate. If you keep hanging out with toxic people, then it's easy to start being negative yourself. Hang out with accomplished colleagues, and you get a frontrow seat to how their minds work! Better yet, look for a mentor who can guide you through your career growth.
Sucess is not just about pulling yourself up, and rarely do people accomplish great things on their own. It takes a village, and according to a study by Google, "in the best teams, members listen to one another and show sensitivity to feelings and needs." People need to feel safe, that they can be heard, and that they can be themselves when performing tasks. This in turn empowers them, and puts them on the path to success as well. So remember to pay it forward, ladies. It produces the best results. | 2019-04-25T10:18:52 | https://www.femalenetwork.com/work-money/become-rich-successful-a1240-20170919 |
President Trump announced the addition of a team of ethics lawyers to the White House Counsel’s Office Wednesday, hours after his family business announced that it was hiring a longtime Republican lawyer to ensure the Trump Organization minimizes conflicts of interest.
The double-barreled announcements drew some criticism for a president who enters office with more potential conflicts of interest than any previous chief executive, but also praise for the new compliance staff. At the White House, the team will be led by Stefan C. Passantino, an election-law expert in private practice who will have the title of deputy assistant to the president for compliance and ethics matters.
“It is a strong, experienced group of lawyers, but their client has dealt them an impossible hand,” said Norman Eisen, who served as ethics counsel to former president Barack Obama and is now part of a lawsuit accusing Trump of violating a constitutional provision barring presidents from taking payments from foreign governments.
Trump, Eisen said, “has brought a blizzard of conflicts to the White House” that seem likely to overwhelm the new team.
Earlier in the day, the Trump Organization named Bobby Burchfield, a veteran GOP lawyer who has advised both Bush presidential teams, to serve as an outside ethics adviser. George A. Sorial, a 10-year Trump company executive, will serve the internal role of chief compliance counsel, the company announced.
Burchfield, a partner in the Washington office of law firm giant King & Spalding, will have the authority to approve or push back against any of the Trump company’s new domestic deals. “Certain transactions cannot be undertaken” without his approval, the company said.
Some ethics watchdogs were skeptical.
“Given Bobby Burchfield’s long-standing role in Republican Party efforts, he does not fit the definition of what would be considered an independent ethics adviser,” said Fred Wertheimer, founder of the good-government group Democracy 21.
In addition to his work with presidential candidates, Burchfield is also chairman of Crossroads GPS, the nonprofit arm of the GOP super PAC American Crossroads, founded by Karl Rove. The Republican National Lawyers Association in 2015 named him Republican Lawyer of the Year.
The president and his attorney said earlier this month that Trump will leave the management and leadership of his real estate and licensing company to a trust run by his sons and a longtime company executive.
But Trump will not sell off his stake or divest from his company, a decision that was widely criticized by ethics specialists because it ensures that he will continue to hold a financial interest in the company’s performance.
Trump pledged this month that his company will make “no new foreign deals” during his presidency. But new domestic deals will be allowed if they pass what Trump attorney Sheri Dillon called a “vigorous vetting process,” opening what some ethics advisers have called a back channel for investors to curry favor with the new president.
In addition to Passantino, the Trump White House announced that three others will join the “compliance team” serving as special assistants and associate counsels to the president. They are: Uttam Dhillon, who served as chief oversight counsel for the House Financial Services Committee; Scott Gast, who served as investigative counsel to the Office of Congressional Ethics; and James D. Schultz, a lawyer in private practice who served as general counsel of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Sorial, who joined the Trump company in 2007, is an internal promotion, having most recently worked as an executive vice president and counsel overseeing the company’s real estate deals.
Trump deals that were underway have continued, including the soft opening Wednesday of a new Trump-brand hotel and condominium tower in Vancouver, B.C.
Trump companies have also shared vast ambitions for new domestic deals during Trump’s presidency. Trump Hotels chief executive Eric Danziger, who leads the company’s eight hotels in five U.S. metropolitan areas, said at a Los Angeles investment summit on Tuesday that he did not “see any reason that we couldn’t be in all” 26 major metropolitan areas nationwide, according to a Bloomberg News report. | 2019-04-23T00:46:44 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-announces-new-white-house-ethics-team/2017/01/25/85e66dce-e354-11e6-ba11-63c4b4fb5a63_story.html?utm_term=.24da70bccd1b |

Developed as an adaptation to the Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) program. Bounce Back is a cognitive-behavioral, skills-based group intervention aimed at relieving symptoms of child posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and functional impairment among elementary school children (ages 5-11) who have been exposed to traumatic events. It is used most commonly for children who experienced or witnessed community, family, or school violence, or who have been involved in natural disasters, or traumatic separation from a loved one due to death, incarceration, deportation, or child welfare detainment. It includes 10 group sessions where children learn and practice feelings identification, relaxation, courage thoughts, problem solving and conflict resolution, and build positive activities and social support. It is designed to be used in schools with children from a variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds and acculturation levels. It also includes 2-3 individual sessions in which children complete a trauma narrative to process their traumatic memory and share it with a parent/caregiver. Bounce Back also includes materials for parent education sessions.
While not a part of the Bounce Back intervention itself, a screening procedure is recommended for use in the general school population to assist in identifying children who have been exposed to traumatic events and have current moderate to severe PTSD symptoms.
A call or in-person meeting with parents/caregivers is recommended before the start of treatment to answer questions, review expectations for child and parent involvement and obtain consent.
Bounce Back groups are designed to be implemented at school preferably during a nonacademic period. Schools may also choose for groups to run after the school day.
Bounce Back groups meet one time per week for ten weeks.
Bounce Back group is designed to last 45-60 minutes (one class period).
Bounce Back groups are typically comprised of 4-7 students.
Bounce Back includes 2-3 individual sessions for each student.
Children complete a trauma narrative to process their traumatic memory.
Children share the trauma narrative with a parent/caregiver.
Bounce Back includes material for up to 3 parent education sessions.
Information can be presented in one longer session or divided into 2-3.
Parents learn all of the skills that children are taught in Bounce Back so they can reinforce their practice and progress at home.
Weekly 45- to 60-minute weekly group sessions plus two or three 45- to 60-minute individual sessions over 10 weeks.
Homework assignments described as take home practice are given each week. Assignments typically ask students to practice cognitive-behavioral skills taught during group. Some assignments encourage students to engage in new behaviors or activities that might be uncomfortable for them. Lack of homework compliance is not treated as failure.
Service providers should be master's-level mental health clinicians. Supervisors should be licensed mental health professional with a Master's degree and with experience with cognitive-behavioral techniques and preferably child trauma.
Training consists of reading background materials and the manual, attending an in-person training delivered by a certified Bounce Back trainer. An online training course is also available to augment in-person training.
Ongoing consultation from a local clinician with expertise in CBT and/or child trauma treatment is recommended. The manual is available at www.bouncebackprogram.org.
An on-line training course and implementation support materials can be found at www.bouncebackprogram.org.
Consultation from Bounce Back Faculty is available to all sites whether they’ve been trained in-person or online. Bounce Back faculty work with sites to tailor ongoing supervision and implementation support to meet the specific needs of sites.
Supervision Calls: Implementers and/or supervisors may participate in regular conference calls on a prescheduled (i.e., twice per month) or an as-needed basis with our faculty, for ongoing clinical and implementation consultation as they implement the program.
Booster Session: Sites may choose to bring Bounce Back faculty back to the site to conduct one-day booster session.
Online Support: A large number of implementation materials are available at www.bouncebackprogram.org for free download. Evaluations of the training website reveal that clinicians use the materials and videos to support the implementation process.
For sites interested in monitoring fidelity, clinicians can tape-record groups which are then reviewed and rated by our Bounce Back faculty.
Fidelity rating guide can be found at http://bouncebackprogram.org/bounceback/resources/resourcecenter#t=evaluation.
A complete training manual and implementation guide is available at www.bouncebackprogram.org.
Research has not been conducted on how to implement Bounce Back.
Status — Participants were students in Grades 1–5, who have been exposed to traumatic events.
This study tested the effectiveness of the Bounce Back program in improving symptoms of posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety. Children were randomized to immediate or delayed (3-month waitlist) intervention. Measures utilized include the Traumatic Events Screening Inventory for Children—Brief Form (TESI-C-Brief), the UCLA Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index (RI), the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI), the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED-C), the Social Adjustment Scale-Self-Report for Youth (SAS-SR-Y), the Coping Efficacy measure, the Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Results at postintervention demonstrate that compared with children in the delayed condition, children who received Bounce Back immediately demonstrated significantly greater improvements in parent- and child-reported posttraumatic stress and child-reported anxiety symptoms. Upon receipt of the intervention, the delayed intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in parent- and child-reported posttraumatic stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms. The immediate treatment group maintained or showed continued gains in all symptom domains over the 3-month follow-up period (6-month assessment). Limitations include small sample size, lack of control group at 3-month follow-up, and length of follow-up.
Length of postintervention follow-up: 3 months (Intervention group only).

This is a continuation of the interview with Rick Steiner on December 18, 2013 by Alicia Zorzetto at the offices of the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council in Anchorage, Alaska. Amanda Johnson operated the video camera. In this second part of a two part interview, Rick talks about the human and environmental impacts of the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill and the ineffective cleanup effort. He also talks about the need for regional citizens' advisory councils around the world, the impacts from our world's dependency on oil, and the personal and political changes that should be made.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Did they say that to you?
it's -- it's -- and plus they didn’t have much equipment, but they -- so they started being interested in what the local environment was.
What the critical resources that could possibly be protected. And then a command team formed relatively quickly, within two or three days.
But looking back now they have -- there is a system called the Incident Command System which is much more robust in how to respond to these emergencies.
And some of our people in Cordova were instrumental in actually setting that up subsequent to the Exxon Valdez response.
But again, you know, a month into it we realized that the response was not going to work. And it really didn’t.
Despite the valiant, valiant efforts of many people, particularly some of our fishermen in Cordova. Tom Copeland saying to hell with it and getting in the water with buckets.
you know, the long and short of it is we still have oil on the beach here now 25 years later.
The litigation is still unresolved. The re-opener clause -- 25 years later.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: It was almost 20 years, was it not?
RICK STEINER: Well, for the total resolution. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Okay.
RICK STEINER: But the case was argued I think in ’93 and the final resolution was in 2006 or 7, so it took -- it took 15 years. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
But the bottom line was virtually none of the plaintiffs that I know feel that there was justice served as far as the private case.
The government case was settled early on because we didn’t -- we knew we needed money immediately to do what we could to protect the system from further damage.
That was a marginal success in that -- in that many -- a lot of the money was used for protecting the coastal habitat from additional damage.
And a lot of science was done. Some of it useful, some of it not, but it certainly -- until Deepwater Horizon, Exxon Valdez was the most extensively studied oil spill in history.
And let me also say that, you know, there's still oil on the beach of Prince William Sound.
We knew that would happen. We knew there would be long-term, multi-decadal environmental harm caused by this. We knew that in 1989. That’s no secret.
There's other oil spills where that's occurred and I've been to these sites. One is in the Straits of Magellan down in Southern Chile. There was a tanker spill in 1974 larger than the Exxon Valdez.
And there was not much of a response, if any, cause it was so remote. And the tanker was called the Metula and again this was in 1974.
There is still asphalt pavements there today. That’s 40 years ago. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
to try to actually ignore this long-term environmental harm -- this cost of oil development in Alaska by recognizing the long-term harm caused by the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
I think that is fundamentally dishonest, you know. State government, federal government, the industry need to admit that these things can have catastrophic long-term potentially permanent consequences.
Just by one wrong turn of a loaded supertanker. So we have -- the message there is we have to be as safe as possible in doing this kind of business.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right. You mentioned a fair bit about the long-term impacts to the environment. And you talk a lot about the litigation and the political issues.
But like I said you’re someone that kind of, you know, that sees a problem and you’re -- you’re a fixer, so your efforts have been trying to fix the problem.
RICK STEINER: A number of people try to, so yes.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right, I would say that. However, just cur -- I’m just curious, you were in Cordova.
RICK STEINER: It happens and then it's over.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: And then you clean it up. RICK STEINER: Yeah.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: And you rebuild. RICK STEINER: Right.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: There is -- it's stressful for people who go through this type of litigation.
RICK STEINER: Everybody carried the stress. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
RICK STEINER: Everybody. I mean kids, you know, two year olds felt it because they were -- they were watching their parents lose it.
Yeah, it was a profound time, particularly in Cordova. Many -- all the oil spill communities, I think, but also Chenega Bay.
The two predominantly impacted sort of social groups were commercial fishing and Alaska Natives.
Those that are most, sort of, directly engaged with the marine environment that was smothered with oil. And that's understandable.
But the social psychological sort of emotional damage caused by this thing.
Prince William Sound RCAC has done some great work -- sponsored, commissioned some great work on that through Steve Picou at University of South Alabama who studies these sort of aspects of industrial disasters.
And has found that, yeah, there're spikes and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety disorders, social dysfunction, substance abuse, spousal abuse, you know, families are torn apart, and those that took Exxon money, those that didn’t.
You know, there's all -- there's just -- it was chaos in Cordova to be honest with you for about three or four or five years.
And I left after about -- let’s see about 1996, ’97, so about eight years into this. And, you know, it's understandable.
There was the -- the Native elder in Nanwalek, English Bay at the time, Walter Meganack, who at the time called this -- this event the day the water died and that's the way a lot of the Alaska Native people I believe saw this.
RICK STEINER: And the commercial fishing industry that was reliant on fish stocks in the Sound and the north Gulf coast really wondered well what -- what is their future, you know.
And look -- look at herring. Herring really hasn’t recovered.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right. RICK STEINER: And not only is that important commercially, but it's important from -- it's an important prey resource in the ecosystem.
You know, a number -- 20 or 30 different marine mammals and seabirds and other fish rely to -- or used to rely in a large part on herring -- ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
or you see these animals dying you feel really sad for the animals and, of course, that's a -- the environment impacts are huge. RICK STEINER: Yeah.
RICK STEINER: I would actually -- and I've talked to Jonathan about this and others, and I actually disagree with that.
RICK STEINER: The living beings that were most affected were those that were covered with oil and died. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Died. Uh-huh.
RICK STEINER: And that's just simply -- that didn’t happen to any human beings.
You know, Prince William Sound was Shangri-La. It was a beautiful, spectacular place of -- of abundant productive, you know, functioning coastal marine -- subarctic coastal marine ecosystem that a lot of people made their livings from.
And everything worked great until Exxon Valdez and so, of course, people's -- the social fabric of communities disentangled and -- and some people, you know, just -- some people dealt with it better than others.
But hundreds of thousands of innocent organisms were killed. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: That first year. And have been ever since. Directly from the oil and so I -- I think it's sort of an anthropomorphic bias that humans have that well, what did this do to humans.
And again no humans were oiled and killed. There were people that died from this. From stress -- stress disorders and -- and long-term exposure perhaps -- ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: -- to the -- to the, you know, oil on the beaches and such like that.
And there were a couple of suicides in Cordova, but no one got oiled and killed by the oil directly. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: Like thousands of sea otters, hundreds of harbor seals, hundreds of thousands of birds and lots of juvenile and fish and such in the intertidal habitat and such.
So, you know, I understand that sort of the human bias to worry about humans more than others. And humans were part of the impact. No question about it.
But it's good to sort of -- remove -- place it in context.
You know, I remember standing on Applegate Rocks a couple days after the spill watching, you know, sort of attending the death of a sea otter completely covered with oil.
You know, there was nothing you could have done for it and the surf scoter there, and just thinking, you know, that they had absolutely no clue as to where this came from. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
RICK STEINER: No idea, you know. And it was no fault of their own. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: And I think maybe part of the human impact was there was this sort of residual guilt.
And there should be. That part of our consumptive behaviors. Using oil the way we are irresponsibly, contributed to this.
And it does and so part -- I think there's some -- some sort of a guilt neurosis that figures into the human response and the impact of these things and that's not just on people in Prince William Sound or the North Gulf Coast.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Everywhere. RICK STEINER: It's everywhere.
And the same thing happened after Deepwater Horizon. And I think it's, you know, when you start looking at the -- the true costs of oil, and this is what I had hoped Exxon Valdez would have done.
It did a lit -- it’s stimulated it a little bit, but it didn’t follow through in civil society.
The real cost, you know, the habitat damage from drill -- from exploring for it, from producing it, from building pipelines to transport it, from tanker transport, and then oil spills on top of that. The wars we fight to secure oil supplies.
The health impacts from breathing emissions from the, you know, industrial economy -- the hydrocarbon economy we have, and climate change.
You know, here we're much deeper in the hole 25 years later than we were in 1989. We knew about climate change then.
We knew what it was caused from. We knew how to fix it, yet it didn’t get fixed.
Here we are 25 years later, we're deeper down the slope.
The Obama Administration is -- is not doing much on it. Unfortunately. Despite the rhetoric.
And, you know, we’ve got 400 parts per million carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today.
Which, you know, 25 years ago was much lower than that. So, you know, and oil consumption is up globally, so I don’t know.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Can I ask you -- just going along with what you’re saying now, I just can’t help but think about dispersants and the use of dispersants.
RICK STEINER: The choice to use them, you mean?
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yes. RICK STEINER: Yeah.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: And the reason for it is, well, and cost wise I’d say, you know.
RICK STEINER: To get rid of it.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah, what were you going to do with it. And the costs of -- RICK STEINER: Yeah.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: -- of disposing of it properly. The ongoing costs, because it doesn’t degrade as -- as we've noted.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Whereas dispersants literally essentially hide -- hides it.
RICK STEINER: Right. Well, that was our joke about the -- the brand name of the dispersant at the time was called "Corexit 9527." We called it "Hides It 9527."
That is essentially what it does -- it -- if it works --if these chemical dispersants work as they are designed, they are to mix on a surface slick, disperse it into smaller droplets down into the pelagic system into the water column, and then you just take the surface problem and disperse it down into the -- you broaden the effect.
If it works effectively, the smaller droplets will degrade quicker.
That does happen, but you also project the impact down into the water column, and so it's not seen by the TV cameras or by the people driving around in boats on the surface.
It's much less apt to leave large slicks beaching, you know, stranding on beaches and such like that.
So from a political, financial and sort of public image standpoint, industry and government love the idea of dispersants.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: And we don’t know how, right?
RICK STEINER: You don’t know how, but, you know, there's a pretty good idea of how it, you know, we know a lot about the ecological toxicity of hydrocarbons now.
the thing that I’m seeing in my work all around the world on this stuff is that the sociopolitical toxicity of oil is as pernicious, if not more, than the environmental toxicity.
And that is the way politics sort of reorganizes itself around wanting more oil and this addiction modality a lot of people talk about -- our oil addiction.
Well, in the addiction modality, you know, the junkies don’t want to be told that there's consequences to their addiction.
and the utter failure of the restoration program to be able to restore the damage. They can’t. I mean you cannot put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
You just can’t effectively directly restore an oil damaged marine ecosystem. It's never been done. It can’t be done.
But what you can do is protect it from further damage. And the oil spill region in Alaska that meant an additional oil spill we'e got to prevent that, which is where RCAC came in.
And preventing additional coastal habitat damage, which is where the Trustee Council Habitat Program came in. So we've done pretty good on those two counts.
There seems to be this pervasive amnesia within our political system these days trying to forget about these real costs like what happened in Prince William Sound.
That can happen again and trying to ignore this real tangible risk. It doesn’t mean we stop doing oil development necessarily.
As we continue doing it and transporting this stuff, we have to put in all the safety measures possible to do it as safely as possible. Simple.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Well, this has been really insightful.
RICK STEINER: That's what I'm trying to think of. You know, I mean back to the Prince William Sound RCAC, this is a model I have taken throughout the world in the last 20 years.
In fact, I just got back from -- from Fiji meeting with South Pacific governments last week.
And a number of the South Pacific regional environment program and secretary of the South Pacific community and a bunch of national governments and civil society.
About deep sea mining, but the need for if you're gonna to do these offshore development activities you need a robust citizens' advisory council that is independent of government, independent of industry, and functions to really truly engage civil society.
All the stakeholders that are concerned about the offshore environment and make it as safe as possible and engendering trust between government, industry and civil society. There's a way to do it.
The RCAC here is the model, I think. It can be adapted. You know, every -- every nation has its own quirkiness and uniqueness and such like that.
And so every citizens' advisory council will have its own unique flavor wherever it's done.
But they need to be established. They need to be established for all large-scale extractive industry projects globally.
And we've been pushing that issue everywhere.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right. You have an article within the UN that -- RICK STEINER: Yeah.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: -- essentially talks about that.
even though they can be different and they can transcend different industries, they should be funded appropriately so a lot of their efforts aren’t engaged on trying to find funds.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: And also they need to be completely independent.
RICK STEINER: The two -- you hit the two critical keys.
They have to be truly independent -- citizens’ oversight councils do.
They have to have sufficient funding to do the work that they need to do.
The independence is a challenge depending on how these are appointed.
The Prince William Sound RCAC model is -- is great.
Elsewhere, you know, governments want to appoint people or the industry wants to select people and that’s a deal breaker.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right. RICK STEINER: That cannot -- you cannot have an independent citizen’s oversight council if industry or government are appointing the people to it.
As well, the idea -- the issue of funding, it's got to be stable. Its funding cannot come with conditions.
And the RCAC model has been effective on that, I think.
I would like to see RCAC funded out of the oil spill liability trust fund such that you don’t have to keep going back to Alyeska every year or every two years for a budget.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: And it also suggests the possibility of us essentially building it better -- building a federally wide program.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: -- program or maybe not federally wide.
RICK STEINER: Putting others in place.
RICK STEINER: Yeah. I mean, this is -- this is one of the lessons of Exxon Valdez is you need citizens to bird dog government and industry making sure that they're doing the best job possible.
Plus a communication channel between government and industry and civil society.
This needs to happen certainly in the Gulf of Mexico. And it probably needs to happen in other places in California, the northeast coast, certainly other places around the world. Which is where the Prince William Sound RCAC is such a wonderful model.
You know, people say well how can this possibly work. I give them your website. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: Go to the website. You’ll see how it works. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: And it’s true. It has worked. Not to say that, you know, there's not been rough patches.
RICK STEINER: Along the way. And -- and there's been things I've wanted RCAC to do that it hasn’t done, but leave that aside the system by and large has worked remarkably.
We haven’t had, knock knock, another Exxon Valdez. Hopefully, we never will. We could, even with RCAC in place.
We’ve tried to set such a thing up in the Arctic and been unsuccessful. The political machinery right now.
The oil industry doesn’t want it. The state government doesn’t want it.
Sounds very familiar to 27, 28 years ago to me. They didn’t want this sort of thing.
And I -- I fear that they're going to wait for a catastrophe in the Arctic Ocean to set up the right system, and how -- how backwards.
RICK STEINER: You know of them to think that way. So we need an Arctic RCAC both to pay attention to offshore drilling and to offshore shipping.
That's now increasing dramatically in the Arctic.
And I hope we don’t have to wait for a major oil spill catastrophe in the Chukchi Sea. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
But the same sort of resistance in politics and government and industry that we had 27, 28 years ago in Prince William Sound, we are seeing now in the Arctic and that’s pretty unfortunate.
RICK STEINER: Absolutely. ALICIA ZORZETTO: -- substantial.
RICK STEINER: They're breathing the same oil, too.
RICK STEINER: There's no question about it and there -- and there have been subsequent rigs explosions -- the Black Elk Explosion in the Gulf.
RICK STEINER: That killed several workers. These sorts of things, you know, this is risky business.
And the oil industry knows that better than anybody. They want to do it safely. Or at least the workers.
RICK STEINER: On the rigs, but the corporate poli -- bean counters and the financial guys and the shareholders and the directors and the CEO’s don’t always get that the risk is personal.
And the environmental risk is real and people really care about it, and so they’re oftentimes these corporate directors are willing to cut corners.
RICK STEINER: And that's got to change. One way to change that is to really dramatically increase the financial liability that's on the line in the event of an oil spill, yeah.
And Congress hasn’t done that. And they need to.
You know, if Deepwater Horizon didn’t do it than what’s going to? ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
RICK STEINER: So that’s -- we wonder about that, but, yeah, you know, we know -- we know the solutions here. We know we need to use less oil.
We need to be more efficient with the oil we are using.
You know most of the oil -- you know, I remember saying years ago that our nation wastes more oil every day than comes down the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. And where’s the economy in that?
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah. RICK STEINER: You know why do we have to do that.
use this stuff as efficiently as possible.
And that gets into things like our transportation infrastructure and automobile, you know, fuel efficiency standards and building -- lighting standards in commercial buildings and all sorts -- and power generation -- electrical power generation.
We can do a lot better than we're doing right now. And by example, Western Europe and Japan and such places like this produce a unit of economic output on half the energy input than we do here in the US. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Wow.
RICK STEINER: Another way of saying that is we’re wasting at least half of the energy we’re using in the US just with existing technologies and solutions.
On the shelf, nothing needs to be invented, yet we see -- there's this politic around waste.
RICK STEINER: And, you know, the more you waste, the more you need.
And that's part of this addiction modality that I think we need to break out of. Well, obviously we need to break out of it, so hopefully soon.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: So I'll - I'm going to conclude this I think with one -- RICK STEINER: Okay.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: With one last question -- RICK STEINER: Oh, we can talk for hours.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah, I know.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: I am going to ask this one last question.
RICK STEINER: Sort of the momentum of -- ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
RICK STEINER: -- of a particular policy path.
RICK STEINER: Absolutely. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Do you think we need something of an extreme scale to change this path that we’re on?
RICK STEINER: I think we've had it. And I think we’re in the middle of it. I mean the -- we've had Exxon Valdez. We’ve had Deepwater Horizon.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: We need something bigger than that.
RICK STEINER: Well we -- and then on the energy front we had Fukushima. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: You know, in Japan. And we’re getting this message that our energy production system is not working.
but it is perceptible for people in Newtok, Alaska or Kivalina or Shishmaref or the Arctic Slope, or even Interior Alaska they see it every day.
but whether that -- why that is not sufficient -- it's -- happens every day, every year for decades. And it's going to be going on, you know, for the next couple hundred years.
RICK STEINER: But it's not an overnight disaster, you know. We -- we’ve often thought that, you know, Exxon Valdez, Deepwater Horizon, like a forest fire or something or an earthquake, you get it overnight.
But it's those longer term chronic sort of threats and disturbances and degradation sources to the global environment that in total are probably more -- far more worrisome than these overnight disasters even like Exxon Valdez, Deepwater Horizon, and even Fukushima.
It’s the chronic degradation, loss of habitat, loss of species, everything that -- things that are mounting day by day by day, but you don’t see it because you can’t photograph it, and it's not an immediate overnight disaster.
A metaphor that's of -- that's burnt -- that's used to death is the boiling frog. You put a frog in room temperature water and turn -- you put a frog in hot water, it realizes the risk and it jumps out. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: You put a frog in room temperature water -- ALICIA ZORZETTO: It doesn't know.
RICK STEINER: And turn up the heat it doesn’t recognize it in time until it's dead. That’s kind of what we’re doing -- ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
RICK STEINER: -- environmentally, and so these events -- Exxon Valdez’s and Fukushima’s and such are sort of an overnight thing that we get.
But it's those long-term impacts of our energy consumption and material consumption that are gonna get us in the end unless we get better about it.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: I think just -- just hearing you -- you speak relative to, you know, some of the other interviews are a little bit more dystopian.
RICK STEINER: Well, thank you.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: -- because you provide this light into something that is really dark, you know. And there is something that each one of us can do even if it is just means, you know, being less wasteful.
RICK STEINER: But it's part of it. ALICIA ZORZETTO: It's part, you know.
RICK STEINER: And there -- there is going to be change and some -- to some extent it's inevitable.
Although, at some times I wonder is it inevitable? ALICIA ZORZETTO: Yeah.
RICK STEINER: I -- I -- that I'm not positive of, but, you know, Alaska's sort of locked in this oil fossil fuel mentality right now.
And if we're gonna be that way, we need to be honest about the consequences of it.
Not just from oil spills like this and risks of that, but also climate change that we’re contributing to that’s coming back to bite us in the future and presently in Alaska.
So, you know, everybody has a role to play here individually. Get right with how you use energy, you know, reduce it as much as possible.
But also we need the political structures. This is what government is for. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Right.
RICK STEINER: Is to help sustain us in the future -- in the present and the future and right now the state government and even the federal government -- the Congress, the administration are not pointing towards a sustainable future. They’re all looking to the next election cycle.
And just what will maximize their votes to get there, to stay there, rather than what is in the long-term best interests of the United States of America and the state of Alaska.
And we need some standup profiles in courage in the legislature, the Governor’s office, and the Congress and the White House to get us there.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Any -- any other thoughts?
RICK STEINER: I think that’s it.
ALICIA ZORZETTO: Awesome. Awesome, right. Thanks so much.
RICK STEINER: I’ll take it off now. ALICIA ZORZETTO: Thanks. | 2019-04-23T08:22:15 | http://jukebox.uaf.edu/site7/interviews/2179 |

Thanks to generous members of the Carrabelle Lighthhouse Association, we have a new sign.

As part of the restoration effort, we are working with the Coast Guard to install a navigation light in the Crooked River Lighthouse and re-commission the light!
In 2007 The Governor Crist and the Florida Legislature designated funding in the neighborhood of $400,000 for a park and restoration, which includes building a replica of the Keeper's house for a museum.
Kenneth Smith, Architects, Jacksonville, was approved by the Carrabelle City Commission as the awarding bid winner to perform the assessment and begin restoration in Spring of 2007, Extreme Makeover - Lighthouse Edition - Season Premier. Phase I is to be completed in 6 months.
The City of Carrabelle, on behalf of the CLA, was awarded a grant from The Florida Communities Trust for the purpose of purchasing two acres of land surrounding the lighthouse. A management plan is in place for the development of a public "park." The land is cleared and new picnic tables are in place under a covered pavilion. The park is open 365 days, dawn to dusk.
The CLA was awarded $15,000 from the Franklin County Tourist Development Council to conduct a fundraising event. October 14 started with a Family Pirates Picnic, complete with strolling pirate minstrels, a treasure hunt in our manmade beach, food, fun, and games. Later that evening a dinner-dance for the adults took place. Proceeds from the day's events exceeded $6000. These funds will be applied as matching funds for a grant application for Phase II of the restoration.
Carrabelle Lighthouse Association meetings are held at 5:30pm on the first Tuesday of every month at the Keeper's House Museum at the Crooked River Lighthouse Park. | 2019-04-23T06:27:28 | http://www.crookedriverlighthouse.org/index.cfm/m/4/dn/Older%20News/ |
Atmospheric pressure can be measured by a simple barometer.
A thick glass tube (at least 1m long) is filled with mercury completely.
The open end of the tube is covered with a finger and inverted in a trough of mercury.
The height of the mercury is proportional to the atmospheric pressure.
Q: Barometer is usually made up of mercury. Explain why is it not practical to have a water barometer?
The atmospheric pressure is about 10 meter water, which means it can push the water up to 10 meter height.
Therefore a water barometer must be at least 10 meter long.
This is not practical because the glass tube of the barometer may be broken or topple easily. It is also difficult to keep or move such a long tube. | 2019-04-24T14:31:55 | http://spmphysics.onlinetuition.com.my/2013/06/simple-mercury-barometer.html |
Looking for the best chamber training? If you’re brand new to the chamber industry or you’re just looking for places to fine-tune your existing skills, we know where you can find the most specific and targeted chamber training available today.
In order to best help everyone, we’ve compiled a list of chamber training that varies in time commitment and budget. Even if you have zero time and no money, you can still use some of these resources and invest in your own professional development.
First, it’s important to note that not all of these sources are free. Where applicable, we’ve mentioned cost and the time commitment (if there is one). Some of these resources are self-paced learning. Others require yearly attendance.
Even if you don’t currently have the money in the budget for professional development, talk with your board to try and get some set aside for the future. Many chamber professionals will tell you the value of these paid experiences is extraordinary.
But if you don’t have the budget, don’t worry. We’ll address those options too.
Institute (IOM): Institute for Organization Management is a program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. It is a “nonprofit professional development program for association, chamber, and nonprofit professionals fostering individual growth through interactive learning and networking opportunities.” The program has five locations: Midwest, Southwest, West, Winter, and Northeast.

I have never walked a tightrope and I've stumbled off the slack line my cousin ties up between the trees at family gatherings. But I know this much: you can't walk that rope successfully with arms tight and tense and stuck to your side.
I think I've just learned that life is alternately work and joy. Sometimes those feel mutually exclusive. Sometimes I am a weenie. I want to tack my emotional swing up on the feeling really quite good, thank you, side and not experience any of the down swing.
It's okay that I need time to fully see. Sometimes it takes the quiet and it takes time before we can see more clearly. So I'm waiting and being quiet (or trying!) and looking for ways the longing is fulfilled - not in my hopes for a particular outcomes, but in the with-us God, Emmanuel.
When I was busy listening, I stopped looking for ways to distract myself from my life. I wasn't wrestling the noise and feeling like I. just. can't. I was on the watch for what God might say or show me during the day.
I think that hoping in the Lord is going to mean far more than a pleasant and safe and secure fulfillment of my deepest desires. It is a MERCY when He grants them - but His righteousness is displayed regardless.
I am beginning to understand that when I take a small view of God, I am limiting my living. When I forget that I have died, I begin to believe that pulling myself up by my bootstraps is all I’ve got.
You gave Him up for us all...how will You not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things? Help me to consider these things a grace from Your hand, holding tight to the hope of Your second advent - Your coming again.
Because as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.
At 6am, our kids are ready for the day and we drag ourselves from bed and wait for our brains to get on the same team, so we can help each other navigate the weekend expectations. "Expectations versus reality" is only like 3rd in line of Things We Argue About Most. | 2019-04-26T02:46:37 | https://www.sarahsandel.com/blog?offset=1525110613800 |
1. Civil Law is all of the law that does not deal with crimes. Civil law concerns contracts and disputes between parties. When a party believes a civil law has been violated, he or she can file a civil lawsuit to recover damages (money) or obtain injunctive relief (stop whatever it is that is violating the law).
2. Civil law also refers to the system of law that prevails in continental Europe derived from Roman law. The basic source of law in civil law is organized codes rather than judicial decisions, as seen in the traditional common law. Louisiana stands out as the state whose law is mostly influenced by civil law. | 2019-04-24T07:51:08 | https://www.lacriminaldefenseattorney.com/legal-dictionary/c/civil-law/ |
Produce black and white photos with more clarity and impact by shooting original pictures in color and converting them to black and white on your computer. Computer image editing software often gives you much more control than your camera`s black and white filter.
Using your camera`s built in flash is rarely a good thing. It will likely cause harsh shadows from the hard light that it puts off. Diffused light is going to work out much better for you. Invest in an integrated flash for your camera. You can point the flash away from the subject to avoid the hard light.
Though there are techniques that can help you be a better photographer, they are not secrets and can be learned easily. Experience and persistence are both necessary. One of the great benefits of digital photography is that it is very easy to sort through images you want to keep, and discard the rest. Your skills will improve over time and you will benefit from scrutinizing your images and what you could have done to improve them.
Be selective when taking your photos. Find exactly what you want in that photo, and remove anything else from the shot. If you`re trying to take a picture of a flower, you don`t want a bunch of other flowers or trees in the shot. Get as close and focused on the subject as possible to get the best possible photo. | 2019-04-22T22:12:37 | http://teenpussyjuice.com/comment/html/?14600.html |

i did not call anyone fat or bully anyone, u don’t have to take it personally, i just expressed an opinion, where as my near and dear one’s are concerned, if need be i will tell them straight forward ” hey ur getting fat, watch out before u get obese ” year u r right, if someone is obese or overeating it’s their own concern, My mom taught me everything except how to live without her shirt however then they shouldn’t blame people or society for it, and besides i don’t think my comments were bad or abusive or bulling types .
This is what i want to be. It’s entirely up choice !!! I never shame anyone for their body types , but people who matter to me, i will never let them get there ,the moment i realize they r getting even a lill fat, i will warn then, for others? I seriously don’t care what or how they wanna be, it’s totally their lives and choice…. It’s just my opinion that i expressed here. I hate obesity, for myself and my loved ones… its good that u r conscious about ur weight and all.. My mom taught me everything except how to live without her shirt and just as you said on ur above lines that u would be concerned about the obesity of ur loved ones.. obviously for health related issues..however i don’t hope u go and tell them that they look fat and all ..and is more concerned about looks than health.??
Also i don’t think like a civilized person u don’t go and tell any random obese person..or a person u hardly know..that they are fat due to overeating??? Obviously ur concern is related to ur health and ur close ones..but i m talking about bullies who does that. Also per say..that someone overindulges in eating..again thats their choice..until we r someone close enough to keep a tab on them. I have high thyroid and had to take multiple hormonal injections while undergoing fertility treatment..but i m at a point i don’t care what the world thinks or they say..i can answer to that very aptly..but my point is that we need to keep our head and nose to ourselves.If someone is overeating or fat..let it be their own concern not the whole world’s. | 2019-04-22T14:48:56 | https://mariashirts.com/product/my-mom-taught-me-everything-except-how-to-live-without-her/ |

The latest iteration of the governor’s budget cuts $136 million from the previous version. APRN’s Alexandra Gutierrez reports.
Suspense around Gov. Bill Walker’s budget started building on Wednesday. That morning, his budget director, Pat Pitney announced a budget was on its way, and warned the Senate finance committee the cuts would slash state spending by 9 percent over the previous year.
A few hours later, an e-mail from the governor went out to all state employees that alluded to layoffs and acknowledged the next few months would “undoubtedly be a time of uncertainty and stress.” Some legislators even stayed up until midnight, hoping to see the document.
Agency spending details finally dropped at noon on Thursday. The proposal identifies more than 300 positions for downsizing, with a quarter of those jobs coming from the university system. The Department of Corrections loses $12 million, with a cut to the community jails program. Grant programs and senior benefits also face cuts.
At a press conference, the governor described the decisions as difficult but necessary.
With 24,000 state employees on payroll, the proposed layoffs amount to one percent of the workforce. About half of those positions are currently vacant. Members of Walker’s cabinet have discussed the potential for buyouts or retirement incentives for senior state employees, but still needs to conduct an analysis to see if that would make sense.
When asked if further reductions are necessary, Walker described his budget as a starting point for legislators, but expressed concerned that dramatic layoffs could have a ripple effect through the state’s economy.
Lawmakers are not expecting to have a good sense of the budget until Monday, after their finance analysts have had a chance to review the numbers. But House Finance Co-Chair Mark Neuman, a Republican from Big Lake, says they will be looking at the budget with an eye for further cuts, given the drop in state revenue from low oil prices.
“We have a $3.5 billion deficit, so we’re going to go through that. So, we’re going to go through the committee process, but I would expect some further reductions than that,” says Neuman.
State employee unions are trying to take the cuts in stride.
Duncan adds that layoffs are not final until the Legislature passes the budget and the governor signs it, and that the union has procedures in place for employees facing layoffs.
Meanwhile, groups that advocate for smaller government do not think the cuts go far enough.
“We’re of the belief that the governor failed to take aggressive action in substantially reduced unrestricted general fund spending, and it is our hope that the Legislature will have the courage to do what Gov. Walker refused to do,” says Jeremy Price, the state director for Americans for Prosperity’s Alaska chapter.
Walker has until February 18 to finalize his budget, and says that adjustments are possible if the administration finds other potential cuts. | 2019-04-21T08:33:34 | https://www.alaskapublic.org/2015/02/05/governors-new-budget-cuts-300-state-employees/ |
Maximus Real Estate Partners is a developer of primarily multi-family residential properties. They have a collegiate, energetic working culture that is lead by a founder and a team of partners. For their new headquarters, Maximus selected a whole upper floor in the Maritime Building, an iconoclastic building located in San Francisco’s Northern Waterfront. The location affords wonderful unobstructed views of the Golden Gate, the Bay, and Coit Tower, as well as downtown. This factor was important in how the organization of the plan developed. Although leadership offices and conference rooms ended up in many of the corners of the plan, the decision early on was to place primary circulation around the perimeter so that everyone could enjoy the fantastic 360 degree views in their daily lives. The center core also formed a floor plate where no one is ever far away from a window.
Entry to the headquarters is immediately to the north from the elevators, towards a large lobby facing Telegraph Hill and Coit tower. This space greets customers with numerous conference spaces that are open to the lobby and to the views, internal and external. A large conference room is separated from the lobby with a operable glass Nana wall, allowing the space to be further opened up for all- hands meetings.
The open office has a custom furniture system from Mash Studios, designed to be open and collaborative, reinforcing the culture and the impression of the office as a perch in the sky. A central break area brings all the communal elements together with a warm wood backdrop.
Specialty furniture is featured in the lobby and founder’s office, including original pieces by early masters of the 20th century: Gio Ponti, Hans Wegner, Eero Saarinen, Milo Baughman, Federico, Funari, Osvaldo Borsani, Paul Evans and Harvey Probber. | 2019-04-23T11:56:43 | https://studios.com/projects/maximus_real_estate_partners/ |
Your Guarantee: SCWL CDs are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects and will be replaced if received damaged.
Read my article, "How to Reprogram Yourself for Success Health and Happiness".
As a personal growth and business success trainer and consultant, I am always looking for techniques and products to assist my clients in making positive changes. Among the best I have ever come across are the SCWL subliminal tapes by Midwest Research of Michigan.
SCWL tapes and CDs offer an exciting way to make significant changes in your life. Motivational speakers and books tell us that our life is the result of the way we use our mind. In "The Secret", the immensely popular 2006 film that introduced "The Law of Attraction" to the public, the speakers consistently repeat, in many different ways, that we create (and attract) our life with our thoughts!
The film does not explain, however, that most of what we call "thoughts" are really automatic reactions, coming from the subconscious mind. Your subconscious is a "mental computer," and it is with these so-called thoughts that you 'create' and 'attract' what becomes "your life." Therefore, if you are not living the life you desire, the only way to improve it is to change (reprogram) your subconscious mind. Until you do, your "programming" makes it difficult, if not impossible, to experience the health, happiness and success you desire and deserve. I love SCWL tapes and CDs because they help us change our programming. And they do so without the stress we often feel from "working on ourselves".
Though I share powerful techniques to reprogram the subconscious with my clients and audiences, they are conscious techniques. That means they go from the conscious mind to the subconscious and must first break through the "barrier" of the mind, called the "critical faculty". This barrier does not allow anything to reach the subconscious unless it agrees with our current programs. SCWL tapes (SCWL stands for Subconscious to Conscious Way of Learning) are so effective because they bypass the critical faculty and go DIRECTLY to the subconscious, continuously repeating and reinforcing positive affirmations.
Once the subconscious accepts these messages, new programs are created and our conscious mind learns new responses, thoughts and behaviors as a result. Because they go directly to the subconscious, SCWL tapes give us the support we need in order to bring about positive change and growth in every area of our lives.
Personally, I have and use dozens of SCWL tapes. Their Psychoneuroimmunology (#64) and Joy of Life/Showing Your Happiness (#9) are two tapes I played day and night when I was critically ill, several years ago. I still play them to reinforce positive messages of health and joy. Since we are always being "programmed" by the media, often with messages we do not want, and our daily life continues to reinforce our old programming (much of which is negative), it makes sense to use positive tools that can help us re-program ourselves with the positive messages we WANT.
All subliminal tapes are not created equal. Midwest Research of Michigan is one of the few subliminal tape companies that has stood the test of extensive research and time (since 1979) and is written about in scientific texts. The exceptional SCWL scripts are always positive and approved by an independent board of distinguished doctors and scholars, and the technology used to create the tapes is unique. While many companies simply record music or nature sounds ("white noise") over their scripts, SCWL tapes are produced using multi-tracks and a variety of different frequencies and tones, proven to be effective in reaching the subconscious mind.
These wonderful "tools for change" don't take up a moment of your precious time and need no special equipment. They play in the background while you go about living your life - working, playing, writing, conversing, eating, exercising, surfing the web, even listening to music, reading and watching television. SCWL tapes can give you an exciting new way to help you make significant changes in your life---easily and permanently.

Then see for yourself how many different titles there are. They cover almost everything you can think of, and probably lots of things you didn't think of. You might feel as I did when I was first introduced to these wonderful tools for change. I wanted about 20 tapes! This was in the 1980s, so I don't recall how many I ordered, though it was probably 10 or more, and I've got about 30 now.
I used #64 (Psychoneuroimmunology) when I was healing myself from a critical illness in 1994. I recommend starting with at least three tapes or CDs, and suggest that #64 be one of your selections (to protect your immune system) -- regardless of what else you're ordering.

That’s now 5 NHL seasons with at least 50 goals for The Great Eight.
In 676 games played, Ovechkin has 421 goals, 391 assists, and 68 game winners.
Granted the controversy will remain as Ovi has a league leading 50 goals with also a league leading -34 plus/minus. | 2019-04-23T10:18:15 | http://www.hookedonhockeymagazine.com/capitals-ovechkin-scores-50th-goal-of-season/ |
This article discusses the safety issues associated with the design and operation of thermal spray booths and spray box structures and the equipment or systems required for operating thermal spray processes. It describes the design elements necessary to mitigate sound, dust and fume, ultraviolet light, and mechanical hazards. The means selected for safeguarding personnel must be based on a formal risk assessment that meets ANSI/RIA standards. The safeguards include sensing devices, barriers, awareness signals, procedures, and training. It also provides guidelines that are intended to increase the safety awareness and the use of safety practices for gas and liquid piping and electrical equipment within thermal spray installations.
