New Training Coming In April/2018!
Share your volunteer time with the church as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion (EMs). EM’s assist the clergy of the parish by helping to distribute Holy Communion at Mass, and by visiting the sick and home bound. A short training session teaches ministers about the handling of the Eucharist and special situations that sometimes arise. Ministers can choose the Mass times and how often they wish to serve.
Those who participate in this ministry should have a deep reverence for, and devotion to, the Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, as well as a desire to serve their brothers and sisters.
In addition to distributing Holy Communion, EMs who serve at Mass prepare the altar before the liturgy, clear it afterwards, and ensure that the sacred vessels are ready for the next liturgy.
At Holy Family, Carolyn Swidorsky Coordinates this ministry. The Coordinator schedules ministers for service at Mass, maintains a roster of those involved in this ministry, and assists the Pastor in the recruitment and training of new ministers.
Thank you for responding to the Lord’s call to this wonderful ministry.
Future training will be announced in the bulletin. | 2019-04-24T20:28:46 | https://holyfamilyjax.com/extraordinary-ministers-of-holy-communion/ |
How to regenerate WSDL in ERP and NWDS?
I have an application in web dynpro working with a Web Service as model that come from a Custom ABAP Function. Yesterday we add one more input/import field in the ABAP Function. Now I have to replicate the change to the WD application.
1. I have to go to SE37, search the Function and recreate the Web Service with other name? The system dont let me create the web service with the same name.
2. I have to delete the model from the web dynpro app and create a new one with the new WSDL?
I have to go to SE37, search the Function and recreate the Web Service with other name? The system dont let me create the web service with the same name.
You can do this by going to SE80->you service->"Internal view" and then right click and select "Modify Operations"
The same kind of issue which i have received now. i have checked in SE80 and SE84 transaction.
in SE84- for my service -> in the internal view tab , unable to find modify operations.
earlier i have deleted the service definition in soamanager, and recreated with the same name, But the WSDL doesn't change the input parameters and remains as the original WS.
can you please help me , how to fix this issue and where can i do modify operations in internal view?
so delete it and recreate it with the same name.
2.You have reimport option for the model, so try it.
-> There are some bugs for model reimport function for NWDS. If you have trouble, restart NWDS.
I 've deleted the service definition in soamanager, and recreated with the same name as you told. But the WSDL doesn't change the input parameters and remains as the original WS that I've generated before the changes of the Function. So I think I must recreate the WS directly from the function with other name.
I think this works if the first step was succesfull. | 2019-04-23T14:21:19 | https://answers.sap.com/questions/7805362/index.html |

Just about six weeks ago, Luke celebrated his eighth birthday. He counted down for weeks before and wished and hoped and planned for all of the things he wanted to do to celebrate his big day. Here’s the thing though – I had to be out of town for a work commitment and he was devastated about it. When it first really clicked that I wouldn’t be there with him on his actual birthday, we both cried big ugly tears of sadness. Knowing that I couldn’t change the circumstances, I decided to make his day as awesome as possible through a variety of surprises for him and because this may happen to some of you, I thought I’d share how to make your child’s birthday special when you can’t be there.
None of what I planned for Luke would have happened had I not had the support of my husband, friends, and his teacher. Start asking around a few weeks prior to see who will be willing to help out so that you can plan accordingly.
I knew I wanted a physical and tangible thing that Luke could hold on to throughout the day to represent me being there with him. I printed out a favorite 4×6 photo of the two of us and matted it on sturdy card stock. I wrote a sweet message to him on the back explaining the purpose of the photo and left it for him with a small gift at his place at our kitchen table so he found it when he went to eat breakfast.
I picked up a few inexpensive birthday cards for Luke to receive throughout the day and wrote meaningful messages to him. Though I wasn’t able to physically be there with him, I was able to tell him everything that I felt for him and make him feel just as loved as if I had been there.
I had a card for him at school when he arrived, at home when he returned from school, and one at bed time. Each one said something different and similar to what I would have said at that specific time of the day.
I contacted Luke’s teacher a week before his birthday to see if she’d be willing to team up with me to make the day of surprises happen. Thankfully she was completely willing because it required no work on her part and created no distractions during the school day. If you’re going to check with your kiddo’s teacher about being on board, please make sure that you keep it super easy for them!
I literally teared up again when I received these pictures from Luke’s teacher. It made my day!
Luke is an eight year old boy and has food on the brain about 97.6% of the time. One of the most important parts of his big day for him was the treat that he got to bring to school to share with his classmates. Donuts are all the rage right now at his school and he was so upset thinking that he wasn’t going to get the donuts because I was gone. Thankfully, I had an amazing friend that offered to pick up the donuts and drop them off at school for him.
Because someone was taking time out of their busy day to do this for Luke and I, I made sure that everything was as simple and streamlined as possible. I ordered the donuts a few days prior so that they’d be ready to go at the specific time they were needed and I got a gift card to cover the full cost of the treat, plus a little extra just in case.
The final thing I did to make Luke’s birthday special was definitely a collaborative experience. I created a short video while I was gone with as many people as I could find wishing him a happy birthday and added my own sweet message to the end of it. I pieced them all together in iMovie on my phone and sent it to The Husband to show him the evening of his big day. While Luke didn’t quite understand why all of these people were wishing him Happy Birthday, he thought it was a pretty cool gesture.
All in all, Luke said he had a fantastic birthday and he *still* has that picture and the cards all of these weeks later. I must have done something right! | 2019-04-22T04:35:18 | https://sweetrosestudio.com/2016/05/how-to-make-your-childs-birthday-special-when-you-cant-be-there.html |

Alfredo, a choir boy in 18th-century Italy, loses his family in a fire, and his mysterious Uncle Giorgio spirits him away to their ancestral home below a volcano. There he learns that Uncle Giorgio is the Master of the Mountain; he can control the volcano. He is also an alchemist, able to make gold from the tears of the fiery salamander he captured from the heart of the mountain. Alfredo is his heir, the next Master; and as Alfredo learns the history of his family and its power, he begins to suspect that his uncle is actually a fearsome sorcerer. | 2019-04-19T00:58:05 | https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780440238232?aff=PublishersWeekly |
How is this for a wildlife photo? While visiting Tonga in September, I encountered this curious humpback whale mother and calf underwater. They were initially swimming from my right to left. My guide and friend, Ken Howard, were also in the water just to my left. Suddenly, the whales turned and swam directly towards us. It all happened so fast that I could only point my camera in their general direction and push the shutter release without looking. If I had got any closer using a fisheye lens I would have gotten run over. Oh, wait. That did happen.
One of the highlights of my adventure-filled life was being able to take my younger daughter, Chloe, scuba diving in Indonesia this past June. We had an amazing time and she got to see what a healthy coral reef looked like. It was not really an underwater photography trip, but I still brought along my Ikelite housing to take a few photos when the opportunities presented themselves. This is my favorite image from a dive site in Komodo National Park called Batu Bolong. I became enamored with this coral and sponge covered rock and love how the sun filtered through the water column while the reef fishes swirled above me.
I recently returned home to the island of Kauai after spending the last month visiting family and friends on “the mainland”. While vacationing with my wife’s family on the East Coast, I spent a few days photographing sharks from Rhode Island. It was a fantastic experience and I might even go so far as to claim that it was my favorite shark trip that I have ever done. Brian was a fantastic host and guide, and though the boat ride left me a little green in the gills each day, I would highly encourage any aspiring shark photographer to book a trip with Pelagic Expeditions.
I had hoped to photograph a mako shark during my 3 days on the water, but only saw one a few fleeting times. Dang, it was fast and my photos unremarkable. Fortunately, there were a lot of curious blue sharks that stayed around the boat and provided me with plenty of photo opportunities. This is one of my favorite images of a blue shark passing incredibly close to my dome port. I need to point out that I was not in a cage, but simply floating on the surface while having the hull of the boat against my back for safety. There were usually 2 or 3 blue sharks swimming around, so it was easy to keep track of them, but by my last dive there were at least a half dozen sharks taking turns at bumping into my camera. I spent about 30 minutes in the water solo before deciding that I had enough of sharks bumping into me.
I have to admit that it was wonderful to get back in the water scuba diving during my recent South Pacific adventure. All the transitions and disruptions in my life the last few years simply did not leave me with any time to be able to dive. The last time I really dove was 4 years ago when I first visited Fiji. Fortunately, my recent trip to Vanuatu required me to fly through Fiji, so I planned a week of diving on the Rainbow Reef in the Somosomo Straits. This was an area that I had not visited during my previous trip, but had always heard fantastic things about. I flew up to Taveuni and stayed at a wonderful resort for 10 days. I ended up diving with another resort than where I was staying, but it all worked out. Over the course of 9 days of diving, I got to know a few sites exceptionally well and planned my subsequent dives around the ideal currents. The current was totally ripping when I created this image, so it was challenging to say the least. This is one of my favorite bommies which was covered in soft corals while being enveloped in clouds of colorful anthias.
This is my favorite underwater walrus image from my Svalbard sailing expedition last summer with my co-leader Tony Wu. Early in our trip, we encountered walrus resting on iceflows with ideal blue sky conditions that allowed for great underwater visibility. As both the trip leader and inflatable boat driver, I cautiously motored towards a group of walrus to allow my clients to photograph them without disturbing them. Eventually, I delicately approached them and got close enough to extend my underwater polecam out to shoot the most curious animal. I love how he is looking right at the camera and the detail in this image is truly amazing.
I want to start sharing some of my incredible new images from my spectacular Svalbard expedition that I co-lead with Tony Wu this past June. I have been hesitant to publish what I consider to be some of my best work ever given the fact that publishing photos is not what it used to be, not to mention that a lot of my work gets used without compensation by copyright infringers. However, I can not be afraid of holding back my new photos forever.
This is an underwater walrus image that I created while standing in the Arctic Ocean, holding my polecam, and waiting for a walrus from the nearby colony to swim up to me. Eventually, this very curious walrus took interest and swam directly at me as I nervously stood my ground with my polecam held under the surface in front of me. I blindly fired away as this extraordinary encounter unfolded. After the walrus grew tired of staring at its reflection on my dome port, it gently settled into the shallow water in front of me and proceeded to scratch itself for what seemed like an eternity. It was truly an unimaginable experience as both of us were just relaxed and hanging out at the beach while enjoying each other’s company.
One of my false clown anemonefish images was published on the October cover of Sport Diver! I photographed this clownfish while visiting the Misool Ecoresort located in Raja Ampat, Indonesia in March 2011. (Man, was that trip really almost 5 years ago?) I had always wanted to photograph these charismatic fish ever since watching Finding Nemo a thousand times with my older daughter when she was little. When I returned from the trip, I recall one of my good dive buddies telling me that clownfish images were a dime-a-dozen and I would never publish them. Surprisingly, I have proven him wrong and published them widely.
One of my underwater Steller sea lion images is featured on the cover of this month’s issue of Canadian Wildlife. Scuba diving with these curious pinnipeds is one the highlights of my entire photography career. Over the years, I have had a lot of success publishing these images from my January 2009 dive trip to Hornby Island in British Columbia. (Doesn’t that seem like a long time ago?) It’s nice to see that an “older” image that I created using my original Canon 5D is still valuable and publishable.
Since I am getting ready to fly back to the Big Island of Hawaii tomorrow afternoon, I decided to share an image from my last trip to Kona in November. I got very lucky several days in a row by experiencing my first encounters with sperm whales. This photo was taken moments after one swam directly at me to check me out and then inverted itself vertically in the water. I don’t know whether this image is epic or not, but it is one of my first sperm whale images all the same. What I like most about going out on the water in Kona is that I never know what I will encounter. Every day is different. | 2019-04-19T10:21:50 | https://cornforthimages.com/tag/underwater/ |

Remains believed to belong to two young soldiers who died in the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression have recently been evacuated in southwest China’s Yunnan province.
The human remains, including teeth, skulls, foot, and leg bones, as well as shirt buttons, were kept in two separate gasoline cans, said a person who participated in the evacuation. The two soldiers were buried in one tomb.
Judging from the teeth that were not fully developed, the age of the soldiers is estimated to be between 18 and 22.
A person who took part in the evacuation said it was the first time they found bodies of the dead in gasoline cans. Usually they were put in coffins or placed on wooden boards.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers lost their lives to recapture western Yunnan from Japanese occupation in 1942. Some of them died and were buried on the way to hospitals.
A campaign to survey and discover soldiers’ remains was jointly launched on July 7 by a charity foundation in Shenzhen and an anti-Japanese War research institute in Yunnan.
The campaign has discovered the remains of five soldiers and has placed them in the former site of an army command in a county in western Yunnan.
The remains of the two soldiers will be sent for DNA identification next month in a bid to help scientists find the birth place of the dead. | 2019-04-18T11:21:11 | http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0721/c90000-9244943.html |
It’s undeniable that athlete influencers hold huge marketing power by managing to disseminate messages on a global scale. It’s a skill that even the very best marketers struggle with. But because of their exponential significance, athletes are able create a unique media space for themselves.
There’s a definite trend developing in the entertainment industry whereby celebrities no longer take part in interviews. Instead, they release statements on social platforms. This is where sites such as The Players’ Tribune (which takes pride on being “The Voice of the Game”) have increasing influence.
Social media has a direct impact on our lives and cultural codes. Sure, it can be toxic; but it also has the power to be extraordinary. The significance of athletes goes further than the field of play: they can create their own media brand while simultaneously motivating change and promoting a positive culture.
Brands are quickly catching on to the reach of sporting stars – social media is particularly important here – which means athletes can secure hugely lucrative deals. Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo signed a $1 billion lifetime deal with Nike in 2016; tennis player Naomi Osaka secured an $8.5million deal with adidas in 2018.
Many were perplexed, however, when Basketball’s Golden State Warriors’ point guard Steph Curry opted for a $4 million a year deal with Under Armour in favour of his previous endorsement deal with Nike. He is doing something different to most athletes by developing his own media company, beyond endorsement partnerships.
Like American Football hero Tom Brady of the New England Patriots (Tom vs. Time), Curry is to star in Stephen vs. The Game. The docuseries, to be aired on Facebook Watch, takes a look at Curry’s life both on and off the court, giving fans VIP access into his world.
While our sporting idols often motivate and inspire us, it is easy to feel somewhat inferior to them. By allowing insights into their lives, their practices and their secrets, fans can relate to them on a human level and become part of the same environment. Content that enables fans to feel closer to their idols results in a seismic shift in audience engagement. As a consequence, athletes have developed their own “brands”.
The career of a superstar athlete, while being an invigorating one, is time-restricted. Athletes who take the initiative to build a media brand ensure a sustainable career when their athletic one comes to an end.
Facebook is now actively realising the significance of athletes being their own media brand. It would seem appropriate, therefore, that International Federations, rights holders and clubs take a similar approach in building and developing audience experience through working together and sharing ambitions and beliefs.
Gone are the days when content created a divide between athlete and fan: unity enables any sport to flourish. | 2019-04-21T14:39:12 | https://www.redtorch.co/insight-hub/can-athletes-be-their-own-media-companies/ |
CLBC... manufacture process is carefully planned and organized for the workers beforehand. This ensures that the assembly line covers are being put together properly, and also saves time. It also reduces wasted materials. There are a lot of repetitive tasks on the Bible/Book covers and job functions on the assembly line, from putting together small parts as sub-assemblies to connecting the leather Bible/Book cover parts such as the dyes, finishes, fasteners, and hand lacing.
Our workers have hand dexterity a crucial skill, as the majority of the tasks are done with the hands (even with the assistance of tools, the hand is maneuvering the leather tool ultimately). Our assembly line workers possess strong hand/eye coordination to complete all projects.

Ahmed Elgammal is creating AI that thinks like an artist.
In just over a year, a technique called “style transfer” has discombobulated everything I’d figured out about art. By feeding many van Goghs into a piece of software, style transfer can deconstruct his strokes of paint–and then copy them, turning any photo into a conceivable mashup with Starry Night. Artificial intelligence had done something that a century of artists and scholars could not: replicate van Gogh’s unique visual genius.
But does that make style transfer AI an artistic genius? Or is it more the equivalent of a monkey that’s been taught to play pseudo-Bach hymns on a recorder?
Ask Ahmed Elgammal, researcher and computer science professor at Rutgers University, and he’s likely to say style transfer is the latter. Elgammal is going further than training an AI to simply copy art masters. Instead, he trained a system to deviate from what it’s been taught–and to, hopefully, create the next unexpected masterpiece.
In other words, Elgammal wants to create AI that thinks like an artist–or whole schools of artists–by looking to its contemporaries, internalizing what they’re doing, and creating its own unique spin. It’s exactly this process, his team theorizes, that gives rise to new art movements. Realism gave rise to impressionism, which in turn gave rise to expressionism. Art continuously builds upon itself through improvisation and critique.
To teach a machine to do this, Elgammal’s team riffed upon the hottest tool in machine learning today: a Generative Adversarial Network (or GAN).
The best way to understand a GAN is not to think about it as one AI, but two AIs that have been pitted against one another. They’re two virtual players competing or criticizing one another in order to make the virtual brain of the greater neural net smarter.
A normal art-generating GAN works like this: Player One is loaded with thousands of images. Player Two is told to create images from scratch to fool Player One into thinking it’s looking at art. After countless attempts, in which Player One rejects or accepts Player Two’s work, eventually, Player Two might learn to make something that looks a lot like art, consistently–or even copy a specific style like van Gogh. But what you get with this approach is a system that’s good at copying old art styles, not creating new ones.
Elgammal’s GAN works a bit differently. Player One is loaded with art of various styles. Player Two tries to make art from scratch. But in this case, Player One doesn’t just label something art, or not art. It also tells Player Two whether or not the art looks like any known style. Player Two is motivated to create something that passes for art, but also passes as a totally new style of art–something outside of Player One’s ability to pin it as falling under any single art movement.
While the pieces are, predictably, hard to describe, Elgammal is right in that they’ve mostly all achieved an aesthetically pleasing baseline. Some look more like photos, others veer toward abstract expressionism. I see hints of everything from Rothko’s color blocks to lazy Adobe Illustrator filters. Sometimes I see what might be genius. Other moments, idiocy.
But of course, this is exactly how I critique the works inside any real art gallery. My fellow humans, when asked, believed that Elgammal’s neural net was making real art about 75% of the time. And that’s quite a high bar, given that human subjects tested as a control labeled actual abstract expressionist works as real art 85% of the time, while a collection of Art Basel pieces were only labeled as art 48% of the time.
Elgammal’s system certainly seems to be successful in creating novel art. But does it prove that a neural net could create something we might consider to be the next art movement–the evolution of art itself?
“Is what it generates the next art trend? It is hard to answer that,” admits Elgammal. “Definitely, we see a variety in what the algorithm generates. What might constitute a trend or consistent style depends on various other factors. So the algorithm explores novel possibilities.” Indeed, because art’s cultural value rarely comes down to what you or I think about it. Its value is ultimately determined by critics, curators, and billionaires. And, I guess, Generative Adversarial Networks. | 2019-04-20T22:33:33 | https://www.fastcompany.com/90131930/whats-the-next-great-art-movement-ask-this-neural-network |
Toasty warmth and touchscreen control with loot left over for overpriced lodge food.
Not sure Brazilian soccer star Pele ever did anything of note with his hands.
However, when your hands go unnoticed while riding, it probably means they’ve achieved optimal warmth and comfort, such as what might be found inside the women’s Burton Pele Glove. With a DRYRIDE Ultrashell™ 2L fabric and extra waterproof Insane Membrane™ technology, your hands are quietly dry, and with a touch of Thermacore™ insulation, they are surprisingly warm. Screen Grab® seals the deal with touchscreen control built right in, letting you change tracks or type a text without the frozen fingertips. | 2019-04-25T08:12:37 | https://stmonline.com.au/buy/burton-pele-glove-womens-black/ |
Ruling Awami League will not invite BNP to join the election-time government as they have no representation in parliament.
Party's General Secretary Obaidul Quader came up with the statement after inaugurating construction work on the Kurigram-Rajarhat-Teesta road on Thursday.
Responding to another query, the Road Transport and Bridges Minister said Bangladesh Chhatra League is not the source of power of Awami League; rather Jatiytabadi Chhatra Dal had been the source of all power of BNP.
"Khaleda Zia used to openly say Chhatra Dal is enough to face Awami League. But we'll never use BCL to tackle BNP," he said.
Obaidul Quader also said BCL will be reorganised within the next three months following directives from the Prime Minister.
"Its new council will be held in March," he said.
According to UNB, the ruling party leader said if any BCL man gets involved in any wrongdoing, he will be punished for that. | 2019-04-20T00:57:19 | https://thefinancialexpress.com.bd/national/politics/quader-rules-out-bnp-role-for-polls-time-govt-1516889515 |

Holding professional certification in MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), Hakomi Therapy (CHT), and a BS in Nursing (BSN), qualifies Lorrie to offer state-of-the-art professional programs and mindfulness practices designed to educate, inspire and motivate in creating a life of vibrant and sustainable health and well-being. As a wellness practitioner, educator and coach, Lorrie has served individuals, groups, and hospitals with her expertise in health issues, advanced professional training in stress reduction, extensive research in mind-body healing and dedication to learning and personal growth.
Living mindfully is a loving, wholehearted invitation to embrace all of life in a new and more intimate way. It is about slowing down and looking at life without judgment or criticism. It is about being vulnerable, authentic and true to ourselves. It is an opportunity to, once and for all, learn to let go of concepts, ideas, and opinions that keep us grasping for something other than ‘what is’ and to cultivate mindfulness and mindful living: to wake up and live in harmony with oneself and the world. Most of all, mindful living is being in touch – being fully present and opening ourselves to living in acceptance, gratitude, and love. 21 Days of Living Mindfully is derived from the author’s research, training and life experiences – including certification in Mindfulness from the UMass Medical School Center for Mindfulness and most recently, certification in Hakomi Therapy. The author’s hope is you will find the information shared in these pages relevant to your own life and that, together, we can create a more peaceful and loving world, one mindful person at a time.
The practice of mindfulness is, in many ways, a momentary, or moment-by-moment practice where we endeavor to be present to all the moments of our lives. This seemingly simple practice is deceptively complex. We are often best served by a wise and compassionate teacher or guide, which this book, and Lorrie Jones herself, can be. Page by page, day by day, Lorrie provides the loving support, gentle nudges and deep wisdom of a trusted mindfulness teacher, to help the reader slowly build a solid personal practice of mindfulness through reflection, ongoing practice and contemplation. Offered with an open heart and a clarity of expression, Lorrie has assembled a solid and reliable support for your growing practice.
One of the challenges of being a parent is to live our moments as fully as possible – awake and aware – walking our own path with heart and above all, nourishing our children while learning and growing ourselves. What is important is that we are authentic and show authenticity with our children, honoring them and ourselves in the best way possible. What matters is the quality of the attention we bring to each moment and our sincere commitment to be a conscious, rather than a perfect, parent. Our deepest desire as parents is to see our children grow and thrive – to see them become healthy, joyful, and emotionally intelligent human beings. Our role is to support them in this process. Mindfulness is available to all of us and it is a way of living in the world – a way of being in the world – that improves our quality of life, allowing happiness to flourish, peace to be possible, and love to abound. Nowhere does mindfulness matter more than in the raising of our children. 21 Days of Parenting Mindfully is an introduction to the principles and truths of connecting with your children in a loving and mindful way – with awareness, compassion, empathy, and love. This book is derived from the author’s own life experiences as a parent, her mindful parenting research, and her professional knowledge of mindfulness practices. The author’s hope is you will find the information contained within relevant to your own life as a parent and that, together, we can raise our children mindfully, one loving and attuned interaction at a time.
Lorrie’s book is a simple and practical guide to help you create new mental habits. The day by day approach using activities and reflection will assist you to developing your own mindfulness practice which will have a direct impact on your parenting.
If you’re like most women, you spend your days juggling many roles, conflicting commitments and the wants and needs of others. Often you come last if there’s time. The temptation to reach for food as comfort or distraction can be overwhelming, although the issue is rarely about physical hunger. More times than not, the underlying force is emotion. Eating emotionally can become a way of life. Following two decades of research and practical experience, disordered eating expert Lorrie Jones developed 21 Days of Eating Mindfully, designed to encourage and support you in changing unwanted and unhealthy eating habits by transforming your relationship with yourself. This 21-day journey is not a diet or overnight cure. Rather, it’s an opportunity to inquire more deeply within, providing the keys to establishing a healthy, loving relationship with yourself and enjoying a favorable weight shift and wise eating choices as a natural result and sustainable outcome.
It’s never too late to learn how to feed ourselves properly. Lorries book will shine a light on the deeper aspects of hunger and how we can truly nourish ourselves by making mindful choices. There’s nothing like the true taste of freedom!
21 Days Guidebook Companion Journal, designed by Kelly Lenihan, complements the 21 Days guidebooks by Lorrie Jones. As you make your way through the guidebooks, you are invited to record your daily thoughts, reflections and self-discoveries in this journal.
Keeping pace in a turbo-charged world sometimes means our minds can race around at incredible speed. Mindfulness is a way of slowing us down and paying attention to whatever is happening in our lives, inside and out, in our internal (thoughts and feelings) and in our external world. It’s about coming off auto-pilot and training ourselves to pay close attention to what is going on right now, in the present moment. There’s no better time than right now, this moment, to assess how things are going, reset your intentions, and find focus. Take time daily to ponder the 365 meditations on the following pages. Through bite-size tidbits of self-reflection, you will learn about yourself, your wishes and desires, you will gain clarity and perspective, serenity and joy. You will approach each day with calm and ease. | 2019-04-25T16:09:47 | https://www.artisanbookworks.com/book-catalog/books-by-lorrie-jones/ |
Patience and Consistency will progress you forward while adapting to change will create growth along the journey.
Every Thursday I post my favorite look of the week.
Never underestimate chunky knits and a good mini for fall.
I have had a crazy work week. If you’ve been following any of my BMS Podcasts, things are growing at an amazing rate and with growth comes change.
In the next couple of weeks, we prepare for my largest hair event yet with just over 350 artists leaning the Art and Science of Natural Beaded Rows which is a hair extension method I’ve created. Last month, I expanded my salon in Laguna Beach CA, and with that came major changes.
YOU can’t experience growth without change.
So as much as it hurts, you have to understand everything happens as it should.
If we ignore change we repeat until we understand the message we need to learn. I love education and growth. This has always been my passion.
We encourage being uncomfortable with my students, and by teaching this I have to live it at every level. I know the impact I will make on my industry, and this will require change.
This week’s episode of BMS podcast was about the consistency of the daily work, and being patient.

The Children’s Contact Service supports the bridge between separated parents so their kids can feel safe and secure. We work together with families to help them enjoy positive experiences with their kids. We assist them to work towards co-parenting and managing their own contact arrangements into the future.
Supervised Contact: Contacts take place at one of our family-friendly venues. Children are able to spend time with parents and other important people in a supervised setting. A worker will be with the family during the whole visit.
Supported Contact: The next step towards self management after Supervised Contact. Visits take place at one of our family-friendly venues. One or more families will be using the service at the same time. Children are able to spend time with parents and other important people in a supported setting. A worker will be monitoring the visits and available to provide support as needed. Suitability for this service is assessed by staff with consideration to any court orders or children's needs.
Changeovers: You can apply directly for this service, or it might be the next step towards self management after Supported Contact. Parents drop off and collect their children in a relaxed environment. Each parent has a different arrival and departure time, as well as separate entry points to minimise the potential for conflict.
Supported Changeover: The next step towards self management after Changeover. Parents drop off and collect their children in a relaxed environment. The parent who has the child with them will be required to attend first. The other parent will then come 15 minutes later. The changeover happens inside our building in front of a worker. Each parent uses the same entry point. A worker will monitor the changeover and provide support as needed. Parents will be responsible for managing the changeover, using respectful child focused interactions. Suitability for this service is assessed by staff with consideration to any court orders or children's needs.
This service will operate on Friday afternoon (not Nowra), Saturday and Sunday by appointment ONLY. Appointments can take place at one of our sites in Wollongong, Nowra or Campbelltown.
To make an application to use the service, each parent is required to register their interest by contacting our Client Services Intake Officer on (02) 4254 9316.
Once both parties lodge their applications, we will schedule the first available intake assessment appointment. Notification of the appointment will be made via post of email.
Intake assessments are compulsory, conducted face to face, and made separately for each party. To keep your appointment time to a minimum, you will need to complete all required forms and have copies of relevant information ready before coming to your intake. You should have these ready to provide to the service at the appointment if not otherwise requested beforehand.
If either party does not attend their intake and does not reschedule, we will suspend our involvement with your case and inform all parties of the reason.
It will be the responsibility of the parties' and their legal representative to follow up on any non-compliance with the intake process or non-adherence to court orders.
Until both parties have completed their intake assessments the family will not be placed on our waiting list for service.
The Contact Services are funded by the Commonwealth Government Department of Social Service (DSS). CatholicCare is a full member of the Australian Children's Contact Service Association.

The California School Immunization Law also requires schools to enforce immunization requirements, maintain immunization records of all children enrolled, and submit reports to the local health department.
Under the California School Immunization Law, children are required to receive certain immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools.
The information below is to help parents learn about the required immunizations for school.
What immunizations does my child need for school?
For more information about the required number of doses and ages that vaccines must be given, review the Guide to Immunizations Required for Grades K-12.
All students entering, advancing or transferring into 7th grade need proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster immunization (called “Tdap”).
This school immunization law affects all students in public and private schools.
Pertussis is a very contagious respiratory disease that can be severe and last for months. The immunity received from either early childhood immunization or pertussis disease wears off over time, leaving older students and adults susceptible again to pertussis. Immunization with Tdap can protect students, schools and communities against pertussis.
Under a new law known as SB 277, beginning January 1, 2016 exemptions based on personal beliefs, including religious beliefs, will no longer be an option for the vaccines that are currently required for entry into child care or school in California. Most families will not be affected by the new law because their children have received all required vaccinations. Personal beliefs exemptions on file for a child already attending child care or school will remain valid until the child reaches the next immunization checkpoint at kindergarten (including transitional kindergarten) or 7th grade.
For more information about SB 277, please see the Frequently Asked Questions available at: http://www.shotsforschool.org/laws/sb277faq/.
For more information about school immunization requirements and resources, please visit the California Department of Public Health’s website atwww.shotsforschool.org, or contact your local health department or county office of education. | 2019-04-26T13:50:02 | http://www.occs.org/admissions/immunizations.cfm |

The British and loyalists would not have to wait long. Word of the landing reached the Massachusetts government within a matter of days, and preparations for a counterattack began almost immediately. There was such a hurry to respond that the General Assembly voted to carry out the operation with state forces rather than wait for Continental assistance. Despite the initial rush it still took a month to assemble a force of over 1,000 militiamen, as well as the food, arms, and other supplies to sustain them. All of these troops and their supplies would be transported by a fleet of 21 transports, accompanied by nearly twenty state and Continental navy vessels and privateers. Among the warships the largest was the Frigate Warren of 32 guns which served as the flagship of Commodore Dudley Saltonstall. The Connecticut born officer was given overall command of the naval forces – no small task given the lack of experience with large scale fleet actions among his subordinates. Command of the land forces was given to Massachusetts Brigadier Solomon Lovell. Lovell has seen experience early in the war outside of Boston, but was also relatively untested in battle. The inexperience and poor communication between Saltonstall and Lovell was to have a decisive impact on the coming expedition. Notable among the other officers in the expedition was Paul Revere, who commanded the Massachusetts artillery. The expedition was also joined by a band of the local Penobscot Indians allied to the Continental Congress.
On the 26th a second militia landing on the peninsula was repulsed after the lead boat carrying militia Major Daniel Littlefield was swamped by British chain shot, drowning the Major and two privates.That same day, however, the Americans scored a small victory when a force of 200 Continental marines and artillerymen landed on Nautilus Island and captured the small British battery there. More artillerymen were landed and soon the Americans had a battery from which they could harass the British shipping. With the Americans making some headway Captain Mowatt withdrew the remaining British ships deeper into the harbor, creating a defensive line across the Bagaduce River.
After two failed assaults a third attempt to land was made early on the morning of July 28th. The militia and Continental marines divided into three divisions and prepared to land at Dyce’s Head, on the peninsula’s steep and wooded western slope. Shortly after 3:00 A.M. the pre-dawn silence was broken by a barrage as the Tyrannicide, Hunter, and Sky Rocket raked the woods. The marines hit the beach first, taking the woodline as musketry rained down from the British pickets on the bluff above. Because of the steep terrain General McLean had assumed the Americans wouldn’t attempt a landing on the western shore, and had left it lightly defended. Among the few pickets that resisted the assault was Lieutenant John Moore, who would later go on to become a hero fighting in the Peninsular War against the French. This was the first real taste of combat for both Moore and for many of the men under his command. The inexperienced British troops fell back slowly, losing six of the 20 men in Moore’s command. The marines also took casualties, losing Captain John Welsh, commander of the Warren’s marine contingent. The militia followed the marines ashore, and within twenty minutes they had made their way up the slope and established themselves firmly before the British fort.
As the sun rose on July 28th the American forces had all of the momentum and overwhelming numbers, but they stopped and spent several days regrouping and digging in. Finally, in an effort to take the incomplete British fort a combined force of militia, marines, and Native Americans attacked an outlying British battery early on the morning of August 1st. As the British sailors and marines defending the work opened fire the Massachusetts militia broke and ran, leaving their comrades to carry the works. Reinforced from Fort George, the British soon retook the battery later in the day. The failure to follow up on their initial success would soon haunt the American commanders.
The two forces settled into a prolonged siege, and the fury of the morning assault gave way to desultory skirmishing and the occasional artillery barrage. Steady rains and the slow trickle of casualties eroded the morale of the Massachusetts men. Major Samuel Sawyer of the militia was killed in a skirmish on the 1st; the next day an American artilleryman was killed when a cannon ball deflected off a tree and struck his neck. Several militiamen deserted over the following week, and the Penobscot Indians lost men captured and killed. Indecision gripped the American high command. General Lovell was afraid to move his men against Fort George as long as they were subject to the raking fire of the British warships in the harbor, while Commodore Saltonstall refused to move his fleet within range of the British guns. McLean took advantage of the American indecision, using every hour to strengthen the partially completed fort and its outer works.
The siege continued with little progress until August 13th. An American sortie had succeeded in dislodging the British from a key position near the harbor, opening the way for the fleet to finally close on the British warships and destroy them. Just when it seemed that victory was in their grasp the squabbling American commanders were alerted to the presence of sails on the horizon. A British relief force from New York was bearing down on Majabigwaduce, led by Sir George Collier in the 64 gun ship of the line Raisonable, accompanied by five frigates. The Americans loaded what artillery and stores they could recover with all possible haste and slipped anchor in a desperate attempt to escape, but the wind and tide were against them. With no other options available the New England fleet sailed north, further up the Penobscot River.
Over the next two days Collier’s squadron pursued the fleeing Americans up the river. Unable the sail past the falls (the location of modern Bangor) the Americans were trapped. Of the 30-odd warships and transports that had set sail from Boston in June every single vessel was taken or destroyed by the British. Two ships were captured, while others were driven ashore by their terrified crews. Many were set to the torch, exploding and showering the river with splinters and debris. The debacle was complete. In terms of ships lost it was the worst American naval disaster until the attack on Pearl Harbor, 162 years later.
For the stunned American survivors the ordeal was just beginning. They now had to march south through a deserted wilderness with limited provisions. It would take weeks for many of the men to return to civilization, and they trickled back to their homes hungry, weary, and in rags. The political recriminations for the disaster began almost immediately. The bulk of the blame fell on Commodore Saltonstall. As a Connecticut-born officer he was ostracized by his Massachusetts counterparts. A court martial convened and unanimously blamed the “want of proper Spirit and Energy on the part of the Commodore.” Stripped of his Navy commission, Saltonstall turned to a successful career as a privateer. General Lovell escaped the worst of the blame due to his standing among his fellow Bay-Staters. Even Paul Revere, hero of the Midnight Ride, was not above reproach as he faced a court martial.
For the British the repulse of the Penobscot Expedition was a small bright spot in an otherwise dismal year. New Ireland had survived, and would be held by the British until 1784. Their dreams for a permanent loyalist colony at Majabigwaduce were dashed by the Treaty of Paris, but it wouldn’t be the last time the British occupied the town. In 1814 they would return and rebuild Fort George, and again it would be an important base for both the Royal Navy and privateers.
Castine is located about an hour south of Bangor. It’s an almost stereotypically picturesque coastal village full of Federal period houses, quaint inns, and a harbor full of lobster boats. One can easily just wander the town and take in the numerous historical signs that seem to be located everywhere you look. Although there are a few mistakes, these signs do give a good overview of the history beginning with the original French settlement up to the War of 1812.
A better place to start is the Castine Historical Society, located on the town green. The museum has a great exhibit on the 1779 battle, and also houses the local archives.
The most visible remains of the Penobscot Expedition are the ruins of Fort George, located on Battle Avenue immediately north of the Maine Maritime Academy. The town park is located within the walls, which are fairly intact – having been rebuilt during the War of 1812.
Just west of the fort is the Witherle Woods park. This nature preserve covers much of the western portion of the peninsula and is criss-crossed by easy walking trails. Taking the trails will lead you past the American siege lines, the site of the American landing, and some fortifications from the War of 1812.

Objective: In the present study, the effects of alcohol extract of Crocus sativus stigma on the acquisition and expression of morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) in male Wistar rats (250-300 g) were investigated.
Material and Methods:This experimental study was conducted on the 84 male rats that were divided into 18 groups (n=6/group). In a pilot study, different doses of morphine (0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mg/kg) and the extract (10, 50 and 100 mg/kg) were injected to the animals for evaluation of the drugs ability to induction of place preference. In the second phase of the experiments, the extract of the C. sativus was administered during or after induction of morphine CPP. Then, CPPs were tested in the animals. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was proformed for statistical procedure.
Results: Administration of morphine (0.5, 1, 5, 7.5 and 10 mg/kg), indcreased the time spent in the compartment paired with morphine (i.e. conditioned place preference-CPP). The increament was significant for the dose 10 mg/kg of morphine. Administration of the plant extract (10, 50 and 100 mg/kg) did not change the time spent in the drug-paired side by the animals. Injection of the same doses of the extract before morphine (10 mg/kg) administration, caused a decrease in the time spent in drug-paired side in doses 50 and 100 mg/kg of the extract. In addition, injection of the plant extract in the test day to the animals in which received morphine (10 mg/kg) in the conditioning days decreased the expression of morphine CPP in the animals and this was statisticaly significant for doses 50 and 100 mg/kg of the extract.
Conclusion: It could be concluded that injection of the alcoholic extract of C sativus can inhibit the acquisition and expression of morphine-induced CPP in the rats. | 2019-04-26T08:03:28 | http://traumamon.com/en/articles/76109.html |

Congratulations to Sophie Clark, Girl Scout, Survivor Winner!
The Long Island Press reports that 22-year-old Sophie Clarke from New York won “Survivor: South Pacific”. Grantland explains that Clarke learned to be confident in herself through her experience in Girl Scouting. Clarke is a Gold Award recipient from Girl Scouts of Northeastern New York.
Survivor is a reality television game show format produced in many countries throughout the world. In the show, contestants are isolated in the wilderness and compete for cash and other prizes. The show uses a system of progressive elimination, allowing the contestants to vote off other tribe members until only one final contestant remains and wins the title of "Sole Survivor".
Reality TV has become staple entertainment for young people and adults alike. Real to Me: Girls and Reality TV, a national survey by the Girl Scout Research Institute, examines the relationship between girls and Reality TV.
Girls surveyed who regularly view reality TV are more self-assured than non-viewers when it comes to an overwhelming majority of personal characteristics, with the majority considering themselves mature, a good influence, smart, funny, and outgoing. They are more likely than non-viewers to both aspire to leadership (46 percent vs. 27 percent) and to think they are currently seen as a leader (75 percent vs. 63 percent). In addition, they are more likely to see themselves as role models for other girls (75 percent vs. 61 percent).
The study also revealed that 68 percent of girls agree that reality shows "make me think I can achieve anything in life" and 48 percent that they "help me realize there are people out there like me." Seventy-five percent of girls say that reality TV depicts people with different backgrounds and beliefs. | 2019-04-25T12:32:13 | http://blog.girlscouts.org/2011/12/congratulations-to-sophie-clark-girl.html |
Cold storage (freezer) warehouses are increasingly common as we move to a frozen food society. They are used for finished goods distribution, as well as raw materials in manufacturing and certain pharmaceutical applications. Freezers represent some of the highest value per square foot so reducing costs from damage and maintenance on the equipment used in freezers can result in significant savings in the long term.
Most freezer warehouses are filled with pallet racking and are serviced by electric forklifts. Ensuring that you have the proper options on these two assets will not only greatly improve efficiency in the freezer environment but also reduce costly damage.
Often, pallet racking is purchased with one goal in mind: reducing the initial investment. But when it comes to harsh environments, spending a little extra on the rack system can save significant money in the long run by increasing storage capacity. When done correctly, these more expensive but more constructive approaches can often generate a compelling ROI.
Although standard single deep rack has the lowest purchase price, double deep rack, push back rack and deep lane storage systems, such as RadioShuttle, can dramatically increase space efficiency. The correct choice needs to be determined by evaluating the physical layout, product mix, flow and velocity.
Investing in a structural racking system made of C channel rather than roll formed steel will reduce damage significantly, thanks to its robust design and increased resistance to damage. Take that a step further by adding ‘bullnose’ bumpers or welded angle deflectors at the base of the uprights, double columns on the aisles side, and heavy horizontal bracing, and you have a rack system that is as robust and resistant to damage as possible. A worthy investment when you consider the slick floors in a cold-storage warehouse combined with forklift operators who are not inclined to take their time in sub-zero environments!
Because cost per square foot in a warehouse is always a factor in space planning, aisles are often narrow to optimize storage area. As a result, reach trucks are the most common lift truck used in a freezer warehouse. But not just any reach truck will work–it needs to be the right one. Some forklift companies have specialized options available to increase productivity and uptime while reducing damage from impacts while working in a freezer. One reach truck even has a suspension system similar to a car, dramatically reducing the tendency to slip when cornering.
machine to reduce condensation issues, larger buttons for a gloved hand, and a wire screen in front of the operator rather than a glass shield, which tends to fog. Other cold storage options include an operator comfort package that adds a heater to the floor mat and a heated handle to keep the operator more comfortable—and productive—in the chilly environment. Other items that can be added are traction tires to counter slippery floors and straddle-style baselegs to help reduce damage when entering the rack.
For the best results in low temps, contact a material handling specialist with the tools and experience to make sure your freezer equipment is as efficient, safe and damage-resistant as possible. We’d like to help positively impact your operation’s efficiency and productivity. | 2019-04-18T13:25:33 | https://www.abelwomack.com/take-chill-frozen-storage-blog/ |

The McClellan Ranch garden is temporarily closed during renovation. Please check this webpage for updates in late spring, 2019.
This garden trials new vegetable varieties as well as demonstrating year-round gardening in both raised and in-ground beds.
The UC Master Gardener Project at McClellan Ranch Preserve is one of the oldest demonstration garden projects in Santa Clara County.
Since 1989 the focus of the project has been to trial new vegetable varieties with the objective of providing sustainable growing information for the suburban public. We use gardening best practices in accordance with the science developed by the University of California. These practices are adapted for the home gardener.
Among the popular vegetables we have trialed are tomatoes, peppers, chile peppers, summer squash, eggplant, sweet potatoes, beans, corn and and several Asian vegetables.
Beside the trials, we demonstrate year-round gardening in raised beds and in the ground beds.
To learn about the best practice of growing and digging in a cover crop, see our how-to video Using a Cover Crop that was filmed at the McClellan Ranch Project. | 2019-04-19T20:21:20 | http://mgsantaclara.ucanr.edu/demonstration-gardens/cupertino-mcclellan-ranch-project/ |

In order for a real estate contract to be considered legal, the following elements need to be present.
Obviously, the purpose of a real estate contract is to exchange the title of a home. The buyer gains ownership of the home, while the seller sells the property in exchange for a certain price. In order for any contract to be legal, the purpose of the contract cannot be to execute an unlawful act.
A contract that involves a purpose that’s against the law would be considered invalid. In the case of a real estate purchase agreement, the legal purpose would be the purchase and sale of a property.
Anyone who is a minor, or is intoxicated, drugged, or mentally incapacitated is not considered a competent party who can enter into a legally binding contract. In order to be considered valid under the law, a contract needs to involve competent parties.
A person who’s high on drugs might be able to sign a purchase agreement, but that doesn’t mean the contract would be considered valid under the law. The same goes for a 14-year old signing the contract. All parties need to be considered competent in the eyes of the law in order for a contract to be legal.
A legal contract needs to include an offer in order for it to hold up in court. In the case of a purchase agreement, there needs to be an offer to purchase the home by the buyer stipulated in the contract.
The contract isn’t valid until the offer has been accepted by either the buyer or seller. If the original offer is rejected, it can be countered.
At that point, the ball is in the buyer’s court whether or not to accept the counter offer and make the contract legally binding. If the buyer accepts, the only thing left to do is ensure both parties include their signatures as proof of acceptance from both sides. If the buyer does not accept and counters again, the power then shifts again to the seller to accept. Both parties need to be in acceptance of the offer in order for the contract to be binding.
Under no circumstances is there to be any type of misrepresentation, fraud, or undue stress in any of the parties who have entered into the contract. Instead, all parties need to have willingly, accurately, and honestly consented to the terms of the real estate contract.
There needs to be something of value exchanged between the parties in the contract. In the case of real estate, this is the exchange of title to the home for the agreed-upon purchase price, and needs to be specifically and accurately stipulated in the contract. Basically, “consideration” refers to anything that’s considered of value under the law.
As long as all of the necessary elements are met, the real estate contract is considered lawful and legally binding once all of the parties’ signatures are included. That means every party is legally bound to the contract and obligated to carry out their specific promises made.
If not, they will be in breach of the contract and will have to compensate for any damages that occur as a result of their default. That’s the whole point behind a contract: to ensure that everyone fulfills their promises and provides protection to the parties under the law. But in order to take advantage of this protection, the contract needs to be considered lawful. If all the above elements are satisfied, it will be. | 2019-04-25T12:16:14 | http://www.steveruizhomes.com/2017/01/19/what-makes-real-estate-contracts-legal-in-california/ |

We report the results of a study of the exclusive charmless semileptonic decay, B0→π-ℓ+ν, undertaken with approximately 227×106 BB̅ pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector. The analysis uses events in which the signal B decays are reconstructed with an innovative loose neutrino reconstruction technique. We obtain partial branching fractions in 12 bins of q2, the momentum transfer squared, from which we extract the f+(q2) form-factor shape and the total branching fraction B(B0→π-ℓ+ν)=(1.46±0.07stat±0.08syst)×10-4. Based on a recent unquenched lattice QCD calculation of the form factor in the range q2>16 GeV2, we find the magnitude of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |Vub| to be (4.1±0.2stat±0.2syst+0.6/-0.4FF)×10-3, where the last uncertainty is due to the normalization of the form factor. | 2019-04-24T18:32:04 | http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/12321/ |
One of the things that I have really tried to do this year is take better care of myself. Not only physically, but mentally as well. I’m taking more time to enjoy life and to give myself a break when I need one. I have always had a love for a good hot bath, but I’m not sure I enjoyed them to their fullest until now. As you know, I’ve developed a love for essential oils. I’d heard others rave about them to the point that I was skeptical, but a friend gave me some as a gift last year, so I decided to give them a go. They are a real game changer. I use essential oils in all of my homemade cleansers, and have started using them for wellness too. I’ve made a this EOS lip balm refill, sugar scrub, this chapped skin relief balm and now I want to share my homemade lavender bath salts recipe with you! Just a scoop or two will help you destress, detox and relax…believe me, you will feel and smell amazing after a soak in them!
To make your own, you will need 3 cups of Epsom Salts, 3 tablespoons of baking soda and 15 drops of essential oils. I chose Lavender for its calming and detoxing tendencies.
Add your Epsom Salts and baking soda to a large bowl.
Mix really well with a whisk or spoon.
Store in an air tight container and keep in your bathroom. I added a scoop to mine that measures about 1/4 cup. Add a scoop or two to your bath and give it a little stir with your foot. | 2019-04-25T17:47:49 | https://www.mom4real.com/homemade-lavender-bath-salts-for-destressing-and-detoxing/ |
When there is filament in, the green light in the module keeps lighting. And when the filament is exhausted, the green light goes off, then the motherboard executes the pause command operation, after the replacement of the filament can continue to print.
Wiring: Connect the module to the M-sensor port on the motherboard.
The filament detection module uses the level transition detection method. When with filament in, the detection level signal should be high, and when no filament, the filament port level signal goes low. When the system detects a determined transition from high to low level, it will regard it as the filament exhausted, then the board executes the pause command operation, and after the replacement of the filament, it will continue to print. | 2019-04-21T03:13:11 | https://www.reprap.me/lerdge-1-75mm-filament-material-run-out-detection-module-sensor-for-3d-printer-parts.html |
President Goodluck Jonathan should be docked if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) insisted that prosecution of suspected looters were selective, former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has said.
Oshiomhole noted that Jonathan should be docked for approving money beyond his powers and spending same in a way that was not accounted for.
He spoke to reporters in Benin City at the weekend after attending the wedding ceremony of the daughter of the member representing Ikpoba Okha/Egor Federal Constituency, Ehiozuwa Agbonayima.
The former governor faulted the calls by the PDP that the National Assembly should approve the $1b approved by the Federal Government to battle insurgency.
He said the PDP spent well above that sum without going to the National Assembly.
On the condemnation that trailed the release of looters’ list, Oshiomhole said names of looters should be made public as it was the right of Nigerians to know the level of rot that transpired.
The Nation reports that Oshiomhole urged President Muhammadu Buhari to be ruthless in going against those alleged to have looted the nation’s resources.
He stated that hired writers were made to challenge him when he first raised alarm over the money that was looted from the treasury.
He said: “I hear them say prosecution is selective. Maybe they are right because if they are not maybe President Jonathan should be in the dock. He approved money beyond his powers and spent it in a way that is not accounted for.
“I think that if other Nigerians don’t understand the power of transparency, the right to know, the media should uphold that right and defend it. What was stolen was not from private purse; the house that was destroyed was not a private residence. We are talking of resources, which if it is distributed on basis of equality and divide by 180 million people, you will be a lot richer.
“I think my only complaint is that the Federal Government should go more ruthless because there are a lot of people who should be in court who are not there because when I was still in the office and I said the kind of money they stole was huge in dollars, they paid hired writers to say how do I know.
The former governor said: “I think the promise of democracy is that good or bad the people have the right to know and that is the starting point and particularly important when armed robbers of yesterday are trying to do face surgery so that he looks different. Some are jumping the boat to wear new face, to change identity, and to change their fingerprints so that they can come back.
“All of them, who are involved and those who they are looking for, they should put everything in public domain and that is the promise of democracy. Just by virtue of being in a winning party, they helped themselves so much. One of the acting chairmen of PDP, Ahmed Makarfi, I used to respect him so much, I heard him saying that the reason they did not indict Diezani was that the money missing and everything that was done Goodluck approved. If President approved that money, should it be stolen and not go into the federation account. Is that the reason the PDP-led Senate and a sub -committee led by Makarfi cannot say it is not the minister but President Jonathan?" | 2019-04-24T16:36:21 | http://www.olufamous.com/2018/04/oshiomhole-gives-reasons-jonathan.html |

I am on an Ubuntu box that uses systemd-resolved to resolve host names.
I would like to configure it, systemd-resolved, to use a DNS server, different than the main ones, just for some particular domain.
Is that possible? I am finding systemd-resolved man page pretty dull in that regard.

Should all NHS organisations be selling their services internationally?
So whilst it may not be an official target, it is certainly an aspiration which I would like to see fulfilled and which I think is quite realistic. After all, many NHS hospitals already have clinical links with overseas institutions whether it is treating patients referred from other countries, sharing research information, giving second opinions, arranging study visits, providing training placements and so on.
Many staff who work in the NHS have either trained overseas before coming to the UK or were born overseas and maintain contact with healthcare professionals in their country of origin. And it is estimated that there are more than 25,000 doctors of Indian origin registered with the GMC currently working in the UK. Already some of these clinicians have developed links with their home countries such as the MIOT Hospital in Chennai which recently opened a new stem cell implant facility for South India following links developed with the Whittington Hospital in North London.
There are many similar links which have been established where the UK is sharing its know-how and expertise in different parts of the world for the benefit of local populations. Such sharing also brings financial benefit to the UK as the overseas clients pay for services provided and also send fee-paying patients to the UK for treatment.
What we need to do now is be more systematic in identifying what links have been formed, how they are operating, what revenues they are generating and how can such revenues be increased.
The front pages of our national newspapers have been full of the financial pressures the NHS is facing over the next five years with an estimated £30billion funding gap as the growing needs of an aging population increase demand on service providers. But the UK is not unique in encountering such pressures. Every health system in the world is struggling and those in China, India, Middle East and Brazil are expected to have to double the amount they spend on healthcare to meet the needs of their citizens. The British healthcare sector has grappled with many of the challenges those countries are encountering and is in a unique position through Healthcare UK to share its expertise and know-how through partnerships and government-to-government collaborations.
Dont' be shy about being great!
A report published by the CBI earlier this month entitled “An Open and Shut Case - the Opportunity of overseas public procurement” makes specific reference to Healthcare UK (P36) as an organisation aiming to bridge UK capabilities to meet overseas demand. Healthcare and Education are seen as two areas where the UK should seek to exploit its expertise in overseas public procurement given the very high regard which these two sectors are held by the high growth markets like China and India.
It is fully accepted that the main focus of NHS organisations must be on delivering high quality services to local populations in the UK and people will be quick to criticise those organisations which become distracted by chasing international opportunities. However, NHS Trusts are large institutions with annual budgets in the hundreds of millions. They are constantly examining ways of providing services more efficiently and looking for income generation prospects. For example, patients and relatives are happy to have access to shopping facilities in their local hospital and the NHS is happy to make a return on providing such facilities.
There are many different ways in which NHS organisations can share know-how internationally, even without having to go abroad: for example, by reviewing digital X-rays, analysing lab tests, treating overseas private patients, providing training places. What Healthcare UK is seeking to do is to uncover all those initiatives which are already working successfully and then encourage more and more organisations to realise their potential to generate income from international work by sharing their expertise.
The demand from overseas for UK capability is simply enormous. And in ten years’ time, I expect every NHS organisation will wonder why they hadn’t started doing overseas work earlier!

Know your niche — I tell authors that regularly. Linda Hughes KNOWS her niche. She works with C-level executives and wrote her book to target that niche, especially the Top C of the C-Suite. Her book, CEO’s Secrets to IT Success covers everything from hiring your CIO to learning the secrets your CIO may not share with you.
Linda Hughes’ career has uniquely equipped her to author CEO Secrets to IT Success. Linda’s past roles include divisional CIO for The Coca-Cola Company and Vice President of the Technology Practice and CIO for The North Highland Company (an international management and technology consulting firm). Most recently she held the position of CIO for AIG Agency Auto. Currently she is the President and CEO of The Great Ridge Company, which provides consulting services focused on improving the operational and growth capabilities of businesses.
Knowing a busy CEO has a limited amount of time to gather information, Linda’s book uses custom icons to identify key segments as well as charts and graphics to visually illustrate the written text. Each chapter recaps the “secrets” explained at more length within that chapter. One of my favorite features of Linda’s book is the fictional short story she wrote to begin each chapter. The story sets the tone for the reader to absorb the nuts and bolts style information that follows.
In addition to my work on the cover, formatting the interior and creating print-resolution art for about half of the charts, Linda also worked with two other designers on the icons and additional charts.
It was a pleasure working with Linda and with Bonnie Daneker, CEO of Write Advisors, to publish CEO’s Secrets to IT Success. I invited Linda into the Write Here, Write Now studio to talk about her book. My other guest that day was horse farrier Sarah Hunt Engsberg. The discussion took an unusual turn comparing the similarities between working with horses and working with corporate employees.

Linda McMahon, a member of the President’s Cabinet and a former SHU trustee, will deliver the commencement address at Sacred Heart University’s 52nd undergraduate commencement exercises on Sunday, May 13, at 10 a.m. McMahon will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, degree.
The University’s graduate commencement will take place on Saturday, May 12, at 10 a.m., with Richard Edelman, president and CEO of the world’s largest public relations firm, delivering the address. He will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, degree. Marna Parke Borgstrom, CEO of Yale New Haven Health System and Yale New Haven Hospital, will also receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, degree.
The SHU class of 2018 includes 1,217 undergraduates who will have earned bachelor’s degrees and 1,130 graduate students who will have earned master’s degrees, professional certificates and doctorates.
McMahon was a longtime member of Sacred Heart’s board of trustees before her confirmation as a member of President Trump’s cabinet. An entrepreneur and business executive, McMahon is the co-founder and former chief executive officer of WWE, based in Stamford, Conn. She stepped down as CEO of WWE in 2009 to run for the U.S. Senate and was the Republican nominee to represent the people of Connecticut in 2010 and 2012. McMahon has been a longtime advocate for women in leadership and business. Here at SHU, she started the “Women Can Have It All” speaker series, bringing accomplished women leaders to share their experiences with students.
Edelman is the president and CEO of Edelman, the leading communications marketing firm, located in over 60 cities with more than 6,000 employees worldwide. As the creator of the annual Edelman Trust Barometer, he has become one of the foremost authorities on trust in business, government, media and NGOs. Under his leadership, the agency has garnered many of the industry’s top accolades, and he, himself, also has earned many industry honors. He topped PRWeek’s list of most powerful executives (2013), was recognized as the third-highest-rated CEO by Glassdoor (2014) and was inducted in the Arthur W. Page Society’s Hall of Fame (2014) among others. He serves on the board of directors of the Ad Council, the Atlantic Council, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, the Children’s Aid Society, the Gettysburg Foundation, the 9/11 Museum and the National Committee on U.S. China Relations. He is a commissioner on The Business Commission and a member of the World Economic Forum and PR Seminar. He earned his MBA from Harvard Business School in 1978 and a bachelor’s degree from Harvard College in 1976.
Borgstrom began her career at Yale-New Haven Hospital over 37 years ago. In 2005, she assumed the position of CEO of Yale New Haven Hospital and president & CEO of Yale New Haven Health and now serves as the CEO of both organizations. She chairs the boards of the Healthcare Institute and the Coalition to Protect America’s Healthcare and is the past chair of Vizient, a Dallas, Texas-based health care company. She serves on several other boards including The Connecticut Hospital Association and New Haven Promise. She has been the recipient of several awards recognizing her advocacy and community involvement including the AHA Grassroots Champion Award, the Anti-Defamation League Torch of Liberty Award, The Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership Award and Business New Haven Business Person of the Year. She received her undergraduate degree from Stanford University and was awarded a master’s of public health by the Yale University School of Epidemiology and Public Health.
Sacred Heart University offers more than 70 undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and certificate programs to over 8,500 full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students through its five colleges.
In the past year, the University opened a new residence hall for sophomores and continued construction on the residential village planned for the Upper Quad. The University also opened an old-fashioned diner—the first of its kind on a New England campus, and began work on a new sports facility for students that will be named for Executive Director of Athletics Bobby Valentine. The University’s new building for WSHU and the public safety team will be dedicated in May.
Work has also begun to turn the University’s West Campus (former home of GE’s worldwide headquarters) into an innovation campus. Plans for that site include the expansion of the School of Computing, which is focused on computer engineering, computer gaming and cybersecurity, and development of programs in STEM fields such as health and life sciences, science and technology. There will also be incubator space that will allow students, in conjunction with investors and area businesses, to develop their creative ideas for new products and programs. The Isabelle Farrington College of Education has moved to the site, and the Jack Welch College of Business will follow, including its new hospitality management program that will make use of hotel facilities at West Campus, the new diner and SHU’s Great River Golf Club in Milford, Conn. | 2019-04-20T15:03:07 | https://mag.sacredheart.edu/2018/04/27/tom-brokaw-linda-mcmahon-richard-edelman-and-marna-parke-borgstrom-to-be-honored-at-52nd-commencement/ |

Rice is a time-honored staple in most American kitchens, and no wonder: It’s filling, versatile and ridiculously, gloriously cheap.
Like, seriously cheap. I’m talking 2.5 cents per ounce when you buy the 20-pound bag from Walmart, and even lower if you buy in bulk.
Not bad at all, but there is one important caveat.
Rice is only that cheap when you’re buying cheap rice.
And as you may have noticed while perusing the rice aisle, not all of it is so affordable. Depending on the amount, brand and variety, you might pay as much as 40 cents per ounce, or more! That’s more than 15 times the cost outlined above.
Of course, these fancy rices supposedly offer superior nutrition, fail-proof cooking, a gourmet cultural experience and, of course, prettier packaging.
So, is it worth the cost to upgrade? What’s a rice-hungry Penny Hoarder to do?
You’d think at least something in life could be simple, just for once. But even with this everyday food, it’s not the case.
To figure out if costlier rice is a worthwhile investment, we must first figure out what supposedly makes it so much better in the first place.
So here’s a breakdown of a few of the most common varieties of rice (although even this is by no means an exhaustive list!) and what benefits they might add to your culinary arsenal.
Author’s note: For the purposes of this post, I’ll ignore branding, which can add a mighty price increase in its own right. I can’t say this for sure, but… it’s rice, right? I doubt the name on the package has much to do with the product’s taste and nutrition, although processing and sourcing might be different in significant ways.
This is what you probably think of when you think of rice: the good ol’, regular white stuff. It comes in long-, medium- and short-grain varieties, and the U.S. government requires companies to enrich it with B vitamins and iron.
That’s because white rice is actually brown rice that’s been stripped of its tough, but nutrient- and fiber-rich exterior germ and bran. Without the enrichment treatment, it’s kind of nutritionally void — and a diet based primarily on it might actually make you sick.
Anyway. White rice is super-popular and super-cheap, and its neutral flavor makes it a good accompaniment for many dishes. It also boasts a longer shelf life than whole-grain rices and takes less time to cook.
Taste: Mild, with a light, fluffy texture, depending on grain length and whether it’s cooked correctly. White rice is probably the most versatile type.
Nutrition: Although white rice actually has slightly fewer calories per cup than brown rice (199 versus 216), it also has less protein and fiber, and far less magnesium and vitamin B.
Brown rice is just white rice with all its clothes on. It’s also arguably better for you, since it has more naturally occurring nutrients, fiber and protein. Brown rice also comes in different grain sizes.
Taste: A little nuttier and chewier than white rice; hearty and satisfying, but it’s definitely got a distinct flavor.
Nutrition: Brown rice doesn’t need any stinking enrichment! It’s got lots of vitamins and minerals, and even a trace amount of unsaturated fat — which is good for you!
Cook time: Because brown rice still has its germ and bran, it takes a bit longer than white rice to soften — closer to 45 minutes.
Jasmine rice is a long-grain variety of fragrant rice from Southeast Asia, primarily Thailand.
Taste: Because jasmine rice is “fragrant,” it does differ subtly in flavor from regular white rice, but the most important difference here is texture. After you prepare it, jasmine rice is soft and slightly sticky, which makes it great for stir-fry, as a side dish or in soups, but not so great for frying.
Nutrition: Just like regular brown and white rices, jasmine rice offers more or less nutritional value based on how much it’s been processed.
Cook time: Again, you can cook white varieties in about 20-30 minutes, whereas brown might take double that time.
Another long-grain, fragrant rice, basmati rice hails from India and Pakistan.
However, because it’s so much pricier than other varieties — and because it can be hard to tell the difference between it and, say, jasmine — crossbred or otherwise inauthentic rice is sold fraudulently as basmati with shocking frequency.
What does that mean to you? Be on guard for a rip-off! You might spend extra cash without getting the extra flavor kick and light texture basmati’s known for.
Taste: A slightly earthier, spicier flavor than other regular rice varieties.
Nutrition: Similar to jasmine rice — no special qualities.
How to cook it: Again, similar to jasmine.
This one’s kind of a ringer.
That’s because wild rice isn’t actually rice at all, but a grass! As such, it’s got more protein, and slightly fewer carbohydrates and calories per cup. It also tastes super-different from any other rice we’ve looked at thus far.
Taste: Chewier and denser than even regular brown rice with a notable nutty, toasty flavor. This one definitely brings something distinct to the table. It’s great for pilafs!
Nutrition: As mentioned above, wild “rice” has about 166 calories per cup, as opposed to about 200 for most other varieties, and since it’s a whole-grain rice, it’s full of micronutrients.
How to cook it: Wild rice is a little different from other types, as you might imagine, and its cook times can vary from 30 minutes to over an hour. Unlike other varieties, wild rice can benefit from soaking before you cook it since it’s such a tough whole grain.
Alright, So… Is It Worth it to Upgrade?
It depends on you: your personal preference, how you value the balance of nutritional benefits versus taste and how observant you are as an eater. My father, for example, probably wouldn’t know the difference between fresh basmati rice straight from the foothills of the Himalayas and the stuff that costs cents on the dollar.
Another factor to consider: What kind of dish is the rice for?
If you’re going to put it in a soup, for example, the finer texture and subtle taste difference of jasmine versus regular rice probably won’t matter, and thus isn’t worth the upcharge. But if the rice is a major component of the meal, that’s a different story.
In case your head isn’t already spinning, keep in mind that different kinds of rice are naturally better-suited for different applications: Short rice tends to cook up clumpier and stickier, so it’s used to roll sushi; medium-grain rice is classic in risotto; long-grain rice is light and fluffy and a perfect bed for your stir-fry.
So unfortunately, you’ll have to decide for yourself. But my advice? If you’re happy with the taste, choose the brown version of your favorite rice.
It usually costs about the same, and you’ll still reap the nutritional benefits, if nothing else.
Your Turn: What’s your go-to rice variety? | 2019-04-24T02:59:16 | https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/food/are-fancy-types-of-rice-worth-it/ |
The Future of Medicaid Innovation Forum was held in San Francisco during the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference to convene Medicaid innovators and highlight the areas of highest need.
In the overwhelming rush that makes up the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, there’s often precious little time devoted to innovation in Medicaid.
That was part of the impetus behind the creation of the Future of Medicaid Innovation Forum put on by HealthTech4Medicaid, a recently launched advocacy group made up of venture-backed companies looking to develop innovative solutions for the Medicaid population.
Instead of the exhibition hall of a large hotel, the event took place in Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco a Methodist church known for its nonprofit social programs and advocacy.
Significant structural challenges remain in pushing forward better technologies for Medicaid patients. Reimbursement levels are comparatively lower and the roughly 75 million Medicaid beneficiaries are split between states which individually administer their own unique programs.
As part of an effort to better target innovation on high need problems across the range of Medicaid programs that dot the country, common priorities gleaned from a roundtable series sponsored by the California Health Care Foundation Health Innovation Fund were presented.
According to the research, the top shared priorities for Medicaid programs were member engagement, data exchange, data actionability and workforce capacity.
Tech solutions to those problems stakeholders were seeking included better mining of publically available data, assisting members in navigating available resources, real-time or automated referral management tools, dynamic resource mapping and better e-consult tools to augment the skills of the existing workforce.
A fireside chat featured Mandy Cohen, Secretary of Health and Human Services at State of North Carolina and Sachin Jain, the CEO of integrated health system CareMore Health provided perspectives on how their organizations were tackling some of the significant social barriers for the Medicaid patient population.
“We’re trying to really focus on the whole person so that is physical health, mental health and unmet social need,” said Cohen, who is helping to lead North Carolina’s large-scale transition to a managed Medicaid system.
One example she gave was a partnership with startup Unite Us to better connect patients with existing community resources. The state has also recently received a first-of-its-kind waiver from CMS allowing up to $650 million in Medicaid spend to be directed at pilot programs providing services like healthier food and bridge housing.
CareMore started out in the high-cost Medicare space, but has expanded into the high-cost Medicaid population. Jain said the organization has developed a model of care that will expand to six states by the end of the year focused on direct outreach into community to bring in high-need patients.
“Technology plays a role in not only identifying those populations but communicating and building continual relationships with them,” Jain said.
He also highlighted what he called “radical common sense,” solutions which may seem simple, but have an outsized effect on health outcomes. For example, installing a ramp to avoid a fall, rather than prescribing medication after the fall happens.
“Those are the things that will make a far bigger difference than where the majority of people are focusing their energy,” Jain said.
When it comes to selling into Medicaid plans, Jain gave this piece of advice to digital health entrepreneurs: Aspire for empathy and think holistically about how the technology will be actually implemented. | 2019-04-21T19:03:03 | https://distilgovhealth.com/2019/01/22/where-tech-enabled-medicaid-innovation-is-sorely-needed/ |
What do golf and ultramarathons have in common?
Well, a single-day competition in either sport lasts many hours. And, perhaps not coincidentally, both are considered tremendously boring by most people. But general interest in golf is on the rise this week as 59-year-old Tom Watson continues to outplay the field at the British Open. He’s got a one-stroke lead heading into the final round. And that reminds me of a third similarity between the two sports: both are relatively well-suited to older athletes, some of whom occasionally defy the odds and beat everyone, youngsters included.
If Watson is able to hang on and win the Open, it will be a shocking and inspiring achievement. But golf, with its emphasis on patience and precision rather than power and speed, is one of the only sports in which a 59-year-old can even dream of such success. In fact, the only comparable example that comes to mind is Marco Olmo’s wins in 2006 and 2007 at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, a prestigious 100-mile trail race in France. Olmo was 57 and 58 when he notched these victories.
Ultras may never receive regular television coverage or offer huge prize purses, as golf tournaments do. But if a marketing person wanted to increase the general public’s interest in elite ultramarathon racing, my advice to him or her would be to identify and publicize the captivating old-versus-young duels that occur on a somewhat regular basis.
In the meantime, I’ll be cheering for Tom Watson.
Sorry your old guy choked. Not a good weekend for the old guys – not sure if you watch the Tour de France or not but today they couldn't stop mentioning how incredibly old Lance is and how his age is starting to catch up with him (at 37!).
… and it could be a very good workout to… ultramarathons. I´ve made this year the 101km de La Legion (Ronda-Spain) and my "special workout 10 days before, was to play 18 holes on foot with the my setbag on my back in one of the most irregular golf courses of Portugal (4hours trail walk + 20´run after)… Nice and cool!!!Congratulatios and regards from Portugal. | 2019-04-19T05:14:32 | https://gregcrowther.com/2009/07/18/golf-and-ultras/ |

The actual size of Manvel is actually quite large as well which means the population density is fairly low and there are plenty of large homes or buildings available to live in; this is also great because it means that there is plenty of space for parks and other outdoor areas. Within the 23 square miles of Manvel there are about 7,000 residents which makes it a fairly good size suburb of nearby Houston. Recently the city has also been growing quite rapidly which is a good sign for anyone considering moving into the area; there are plenty of opportunities available and the market is ready for plenty more people to move into the area whenever they desire.
Manvel is home to plenty of businesses and companies as well so there are always job opportunities in the immediate area; though many people still choose to live in Manvel and work in Houston if possible. Houston is definitely within driving distance which means Manvel is becoming a fairly popular town for commuters to live in so they can avoid downtown. Unfortunately along with the increase in population and population density Manvel has also seen an increase in crime in the area though overall it is still slightly below the national average crime rate.
Manvel is otherwise a pretty standard suburban style residential area. There are not a ton of businesses and restaurants around although there are definitely plenty to get by on. There are however plenty of homes and residences available to purchase or rent in Manvel so it will never be difficult to find housing in the city. If you are looking for a place to live that is affordable and close to Houston without being too close to the city then Manvel is probably a good option for you. Manvel is primarily made up of younger families as well which somewhat confirms that there truly is a great opportunity here for young couples to save money on housing while still being close to the jobs they so strongly need. Take a look at Manvel today and see if the town fits your personality; if not there are surely plenty of other suburban towns just down the street for Manvel that might suit you needs a little bit better. | 2019-04-25T08:45:05 | https://www.umovefree.com/City/manvel-apartments-tx/ |
Researchers published, what they say is the 1st case of a living person identified w/the degenerative brain disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. While unnamed in the study, lead author Dr. Bennet Omalu confirmed to CNN that the subject of the case was former NFL player, Fred McNeill — who died in 2015. Omalu is credited w/1st discovering CTE in professional football players. The only way to definitively diagnose the disease is w/a brain exam after death.
The discovery was 1st made in 2012 using an experimental brain scan that can trace a signature protein of CTE called tau. The case study was published in the journal Neurosurgery this week.
Omalu 1st presented these findings exclusively to CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta in 2016. McNeill’s wife, Tia, & his 2 sons, Gavin & Fred Jr., told Gupta then, that they saw Fred transform from a fun loving family man at the center of their lives into a man who was dealing w/symptoms of memory loss, anger & depression that tore their family apart.
“There are some times where the father is the stronghold in the family, or the anchor. If you lose that, everything kind of falls apart. That’s kind of what happened for us. It looked like financial issues at 1st; it looked like marital issues & they separated; then it looked like just depression,” Gavin told Gupta.
CTE is known for plaguing people w/Alzheimer’s like symptoms such as memory loss, rage, mood swings & in some cases, suicidal ideation. Severity of the disease is categorized into 4 stages w/stage 4 being the most severe. While researchers don’t know exactly why certain people develop the disease & others don’t, they believe that it results from repeated blows to the head that trigger a build up of tau proteins in the brain.
These subconcussive hits can include the repeated trauma the brain experiences from constant plays, hitting the turf & tackling. Wrestlers, boxers & military troops have also been diagnosed w/the disease.
While the experimental technology has been used on at least a dozen other former NFL players including Pro Football Hall of Famer, Dallas Cowboy Tony Dorsett, McNeill is the 1st case to have the test results confirmed w/an autopsy.
Omalu helped develop & is invested in the diagnostic exam, which uses a radioactive “tracer” called FDDNP to bind to tau proteins in the brain. The tau proteins can then be seen on a PET scan of the brain. Critics have said the protein also can highlight another protein called amyloid, which may be indicative of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. But Omalu noted that in CTE, tau makes distinctive patterns in the brain.
It has a “specific topographic signature,” he said, and that pattern can be detected in imaging.
Omalu said he & his team are currently raising money to start a phase 3 clinical trial to further test the technology & replicate what they have seen in McNeill. He anticipates that once funds are raised, it will take another 2 to 3 years for the trial & then another year, at least, for approval from the US Food & Drug Administration. When asked, how soon a commercial test could be available, Omalu predicted it could be as soon as a few years.
“We are looking at less than 5 years,” he said. | 2019-04-22T22:37:56 | https://endingsarebeginnings.wordpress.com/2017/11/16/ex-nfl-player-confirmed-as-1st-case-of-cte-in-living-patient/ |

CRITIC'S FAVORITE rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club roar through the Bay Area this month. But don’t expect the founding members to spend time reuniting with classmates from their high school days in Lafayette.
The band’s roots go back to 1995, when bassist Robert Levon Been (his father, Michael Been, was in the rock group the Call) and guitarist Peter Hayes (pictured, left) met at Acalanes High. Both felt alienated in Acalanes’s cliquey social scene and bonded over a love of British rock bands, forming a band of their own called The Elements. In 1998, they added drummer Nick Jago (pictured, right) and renamed the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club—a reference to the Marlon Brando biker gang in the 1953 classic movie, The Wild One. They’ve gone full-throttle ever since.
The group’s first three albums and their intense live shows sparked a following, particularly in the United Kingdom, where they just wrapped an arena tour with The Killers. The band’s sound has drawn comparisons to icons like the Doors and Exile on Main Street–era Rolling Stones, as well as cult favorites like Joy Division and the Jesus and Mary Chain.
This month, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club releases its fourth album, Baby 81, and headlines at the Fillmore in San Francisco on May 9. For information, go to www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com . | 2019-04-22T14:44:07 | http://www.diablomag.com/May-2007/Bad-boys/ |
Cathodoluminescence (CL) in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used to investigate the effect of doping with an isoelectronic dopant, aluminum, on the native accepters and on the general structure of extended defects of gallium antimonide single crystals. While there is no significant change in the native defect content, decoration of non-radiative recombination centers or extended defects occurs as a result of aluminum doping.

Have you ever run a sound desk before? Do you know how to hook up a video recorder? What about setting up a lighting rig? Even if you haven't done any of these things, read on!
At any convention of this size there is always a requirement for stage lighting, microphones, PA systems, VCRs etc. and good reliable people to set-up and operate them. The tech crew is an essential part of the convention, and a great way of meeting people! It can be hard work getting everything ready in time, and there can be sessions where you're sitting behind a sound desk for a couple of hours doing not much more than just listening to the programme item running in that hall, but it's great fun, you get to be part of creating a wonderful convention and you learn something new every time!
The job of the tech crew breaks down into three main sections over the convention: Set-up, During the Con and Tear Down.
Set-up: unpacking and sorting all the equipment, wiring everything up, setting up lighting rigs, testing the sound systems etc. and taping down loose wires. Some technical knowledge is useful, but even if you can't plug in a kettle we'll find something for you to do! Set-up may start on the Thursday evening, and will continue from fairly early Friday morning up until the opening items. Please let us know if you're planning on arriving early!
During the con: People will be required to do everything from sitting behind the sound desk through to running lighting for the fancy dress and operating the VCRs for the video programme. Some of the simpler things (e.g. the video programme) requires no special ability beyond pressing "Play" on the VCR and sitting in the room to hit "Stop" when it ends! But even if you've never run a sound desk before, we'll be glad to tell you what all the knobs do, and once you're happy that you understand it, we'll sit back (in the bar!) and let you get on with it... Because different programme items have different requirements (a Guest talk has different requirements to the Fancy Dress competition) those of you who missed set-up will still get a chance to set-up and take down lighting, run microphones etc.
If you've done any of this before then please get in touch and let us know what you've done and what you'd like to do. If you've never done this sort of thing before at a convention but have experience, knowledge or even just enthusiasm then you're more than welcome! | 2019-04-21T14:32:27 | http://redemptioncon.org.uk/tech_crew.php |

Fly into the African wilderness as you spend a few days relaxing to the sounds of the flowing Rufiji River and be amazed by the sights of the Selous Game Reserve. This quick getaway will allow you to get in touch with the remoteness and rawness of an African Safari.
Go on game drives that will introduce you to the residents of the bush - from giant elephants to the smaller antelope. Watch the hippos and crocodiles, from a boat, as they dominate the river and the surrounding riverbanks. A slow paced guided bush walk will allow you to closely observe your natural surroundings while encountering wildlife, safely protected by your armed guide.
From Julius Nyerere International Airport, Dar es Salaam board a light aircraft to the Selous Game Reserve. At the Selous airstrip, you’ll be met by your guide and transferred by road to the camp. The cottages being open fronted, allow panoramic views of the river enabling you to see witness the flight of the Kingfishers and the frolicking of the hippos and feel the cooling breeze from the water.
The lodge is situated on the banks of the Rufiji River in the Selous Game Reserve, where wildlife is abuzz with activity. Spend the afternoon on a boat safari, a relaxing and tranquil way to view the prolific bird life and watch animals come down to the river to drink. Sleep under the night sky as you are lullabied into a peaceful night's rest by the vibrant bird and animal life.
Wake up early and take a walk on the wild side as you venture out into the unexpected surprises of the wilderness. Alongside an armed ranger, you will be able to traverse slowly across the ever-changing landscapes and vegetation of the untouched area surrounding the camp. Your flush toilet and shower has hot and cold running water so you can enjoy dusty walks in the bush without the fear of running out of clean water for a shower afterwards. Watch as flocks of pelicans occupy the shallow shores of the river and how other animals make their way down to the river's edge to get a sip of water. Birding in the Selous is an exciting activity - for both casual birders and birding enthusiasts. Depending on the season, there are various species of resident and migrant birds. Return to camp for a late breakfast and a well deserved relaxing few hours on your veranda or cool off in the pool. In the afternoon venture out for a game drive stopping for sundowners next to one of the lakes watching the sky’s changing colours reflected on the lake’s surface.
Days in the Selous are all about exploring the hidden gems of the area. Go on full day game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles encounter major species like elephants, buffalo, lions and many plains game. Cover a wide range of wilderness as you receive an unfiltered view of the surroundings, allowing you to photograph your trip. Go out for the whole day taking a picnic lunch with you to Stiegler's Gorge. Or set out before breakfast and drive into a clearing where a breakfast table has been set up for you, complete with chairs, crisp linen and an open fire for cooking breakfast. Relax in the shade of palm trees as you enjoy your meal, staring onto the lakeshore of Lake Tagalala.
On the last day of your quick escape from reality into the African wilderness, you’ll board a light aircraft flight to Julius Nyerere International Airport, Dar es Salaam for your onward travel arrangements. | 2019-04-21T16:51:40 | http://www.safari.co.za/Tanzanian_Safari_Tours-travel/selous-safari-getaway.html |
Having grown up going to war movies I was curious about Fury. In the 50’s we had war movies that were more about the heroes, depicted by actors like John Wayne or even Audie Murphy (who was an actual war hero). While some of the old films dealt with the emotional aspects of the men fighting, and to some extent the gore of war, they did not measure up to films like Saving Private Ryan or this one, Fury.
This is a well acted, dramatic account of what it was like in a tank outfit during WWII. It is a coming of age film showing how a young “clerk typist” can evolve into a man willing to kill. The process he goes through makes this a good film. Sargent York starring Gary Cooper dealt with this issue but with less depth. It is disturbing, emotional, and depicts the degradation war brings to both sides. The scenes in the apartment of two German women is a great study of trying to bring civility to a situation in the midst of chaos.
The film reminds us of the last war fought with a purpose. There was a clear enemy, an obvious goal, an army backed by a nation, and a distinct end point with a visible outcome.

It’s taken me a while to put this post together as I wanted to really consider the goals I set for this year of my life so they truly take me forwards, physically, emotionally, professionally and personally. Goals that are measurable and will stretch me and a couple that are just indulgence!
So here they are. If you can help me on my journey with any of them, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a comment if you can!
I’m going to read 50 books before I turn 41. Not just the usual business biographies and self help, but some fiction too. Warren Buffet, one of the world’s most successful businessmen once said when asked about the key to success, “Read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.” So many people who are uber successful read a lot, and it’s something I rarely make time for, yet I still continue to be an Amazon book buying junkie! It will be interesting to see the effect this has on my business and my life generally.
I’m going to triple last year’s revenue in my company. As my role is these days more strategic and about banging the drum for TAMBA, this means I need to be creating regular thought leadership content and supporting my key personnel who are bringing in clients and ensure the rest of the team give them the wonderful experience we know we can.
I’m going to buy a large commercial property which will act as a pension pot for my husband and I. This has been on the cards for some time, but is happening at the end of this year. I have a lot of financial organising to do, and beauty parades of banks and financing options so this needs to be underway imminently.
I’m going to meet Channing Tatum. I have no idea how unless he comes to the UK for a film premiere but I’d absolutely love to meet him – he’s pretty much the only living person I want to meet that I haven’t been lucky enough to encounter yet on my travels. Perhaps you, dear reader, might know how? Suggestions should not include flying to America and hiding in a bush, I’m thinking more a premiere or a charity bash… My husband has said this goal is impossible, so of course, I am now totally going to prove him wrong!
I’m staying positive! I gave up negativity for Lent with Christian Aid and it’s done wonders for my sanity and demeanour at large so I’m going to really push myself to keep this going. I know there will be bad days and tough times ahead, but I’m just going to stop dwelling on things as that’s the real energy drain for me.
I’m going to do some “people power” Random Acts of Kindness, bringing lots of people together to do something kind for their community. The first one is already in the planning stage and I’m excited to involve those of you who read this blog for the random acts of kindness ideas.
I’m buying my husband an Aston Martin. He turns 40 later this year and has always wanted one. It won’t be brand new unless this blog REALLY grows in short order, but in the last decade he’s given everything to our business – including whilst being treated for cancer – and he’s given our children and I a great life without ever having anything for himself. So I want to mark his 40th with the car of his dreams. That’s going to require some serious saving!
There are other goals I have of course, around my fitness and going to the gym which I document seperately on my Fit at 40 posts, my parenting goals to just keep becoming a better mum, and a few bits which are too personal to share, even on this blog but the above are my commitments which I can share and show you as I progress and achieve them.
A birthday, anniversary or significant date to you can be a great time to set new goals. What do you have coming up you can set goals around and what are your goals? I’d love to hear all about them and help you in achieving yours. | 2019-04-21T06:51:19 | http://theserandomacts.co.uk/goals-for-the-40-year-old-me/ |
Michael Bennet, United States Senator for Colorado, Visits Gevo, Advocates for Renewable Fuels and Chemicals | Gevo, Inc.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unites States Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado toured and met with Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq:GEVO) today to discuss the importance of renewable fuels and chemicals for Colorado and the U.S. economy.
Senator Bennet met with Gevo executives including chief executive officer Patrick Gruber, Ph.D. to discuss energy policy and see first-hand the innovative research and development Gevo has done that enabled it to become a leading provider of renewable biofuels and chemicals.
Gevo, a Colorado-based company, is the world's only commercial producer of isobutanol, a naturally occurring four carbon alcohol. Isobutanol is an important platform chemical with broad applications in large chemicals and fuels markets and a "drop-in" product that should allow customers to replace petroleum-derived raw materials with isobutanol-derived raw materials without modification to their equipment or production processes. Isobutanol can drop into existing infrastructure, providing for easy integration into existing refining and petrochemical production processes.
Gevo's isobutanol has successfully cleared registration with the U.S. EPA as a fuel additive, is the first isobutanol to be listed in the EPA's Fuel Registration Directory, and is now approved for blending with gasoline. Additionally, Gevo worked with the United States Air Force (USAF) last June to provide fuel for the first successful "alcohol-to-jet" (ATJ) fuel test flight in an A-10 Thunderbolt II.
"We applaud Senator Bennet's support for the renewable energy industry and appreciate his visit to our headquarters to learn about the technology that makes Gevo a leading renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels company," said Gruber.
Senator Bennet remarked that he very much enjoyed his visit to Gevo and said, "Colorado has a strong reputation as a hub for innovation and firms like Gevo are leading the way. By developing innovative techniques for converting biomass to fuel, Gevo is a critical part of developing a balanced national energy portfolio." | 2019-04-20T09:09:51 | http://investor.gevo.com/news-releases/news-release-details/michael-bennet-united-states-senator-colorado-visits-gevo |

TORONTO — Federal Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer shrugged off suggestions Tuesday that Ontario’s premier was overshadowing him on matters of importance to the national Conservative cause, saying they simply shared common goals.
Scheer faced pointed questions about Doug Ford’s political influence after meeting with the Progressive Conservative premier at Ontario’s legislature, where the pair discussed issues including their opposition to the federal Liberal carbon pricing plan.
Ford has been a strong critic of the tax, launching a court challenge against it and raising his opposition to it during recent trips to meet with Conservative political leaders in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Scheer, when asked whose brand was stronger, said he and Ford were both working toward improving life for Canadians.
Scheer dismissed suggestions that Ford was trying to replace him as the face of the federal Conservatives, noting that he had recently travelled to many of the same places the Ontario premier had been to.
In Ottawa, however, the federal minister of intergovernmental affairs suggested Ford had significant influence over Scheer.
Ford, for his part, endorsed Scheer earlier on Tuesday, calling him Canada’s next prime minister in a social media message. He also told reporters the only way to get rid of the federal carbon tax was to defeat the prime minister in next year’s federal election.
Meanwhile, opposition legislators in Ontario said Ford has been campaigning on behalf of Scheer instead of focusing on the work of his provincial government.
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Ford’s attention to federal Conservative causes meant less time dealing with issues of importance to Ontario.
Wilfrid Laurier University political science professor Barry Kay said Ford is behaving as if he has ambitions beyond being Ontario’s premier, but that would be down the road, after the next federal election.
Kay said Ford could prove to be an asset for Scheer in the run up to the next federal vote where the Conservatives will need to take seats from the Liberals in order to win or hold them to a minority government. | 2019-04-21T14:23:27 | https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/andrew-scheer-says-he-and-doug-ford-are-working-toward-same-goals |

Especially if you leave a cookbook on the stove and turn on the wrong burner.
There wasn't an actual fire... just LOTS of smoke. The smoke detector went off, the dog freaked out, the kids ran around griping about how badly it smelled. I'm thankful the cover had a coated paper... had it just been paper, it would have gone up in flames for sure.
As if that wasn't bad enough, in the process of trying to clear out the smoke, I forgot to turn off the burner. So, while I'm opening windows (which required peeling up weatherizing plastic) and doors, the remnants of the cookbook are continuing to "cook" on the stovetop. GRR.
I am so thankful it was one of the very mild (nearly 40˚F) days we've had recently. The house aired out nicely.
Sadly, this is as good as this hood gets... it's rusty, and really doesn't work.
My kids learned first-hand why I'm always telling them to NEVER put anything on the stove (unless you're cooking *wink*).
We had a busy weekend rearranging things in the house. The piano is now OUT of the dining room!! Yay! Feels much more roomy. We originally planned only to move the piano and rearrange things in the toy room. We ended up doing MUCH more than that, and are very pleased with the results!
We painted just the one wall so it’s no longer pink (didn’t want to have to move the piano again to paint!). Nice improvement, huh!? It was still bright pink (the photo doesn’t nearly do it justice!!) from when it was Victory’s bedroom!! We plan to try to get one wall done each weekend. By spring we could have a whole new house! ;) Not sure if I can handle the entire room that bright, but I’m pleased with the result for now. And the kids love it!
During school this week, Alex brought me an assignment and said, "I can read the first part of this two ways."
Needless to say, the assignment was done in the intended fashion.
One project, that was started at least TWO years ago, was finally completed early in the year. Alex chose the fabric (fleece) and we found a simple pattern to make a pullover hoodie with a pocket on the front.
The size is nearly perfect, with enough "growing room" it should get him through this winter as well... and maybe even next fall??
It's reversible... and I think she really likes it (I assume this, since she's still using it. *grin*).
Here's another bag I made. Originally I made it for myself, but then I realized it really fit the personality of my friend Karri, and I gifted it to her. :) It is also reversible... Both of these bags were made using my own modifications to this pattern, and this one.
The curtains below were a project that was fairly simple. After hanging the rod, I made the curtains long enough that they would hang on the floor a bit. I used my snap press to set snaps along the top to make it easy to remove for washing (which reminds me...! LOL). I let it hang in place for a few weeks before doing the final hem at the bottom. The floor is not quite level, and I wanted to make sure the fabric had stretched before deciding on a final length so it wouldn't hang on the floor after it was hemmed. That was probably the hardest part... I have a really hard time sewing a "crooked" hem on something!! (Now, if you NEED it straight... haha... I'm talking about doing this on purpose...) But, it looks great, and gives the kids sleeping area the privacy it needs.
Not so much a crafty thing, but an attempt to allow more craftiness... I cleaned my sewing table. Sadly, it currently looks worse than the first picture. It never ends, does it?
Victory loves to play "mommy". I have several varieties of slings for my own babies, and Victory is always having me tie her blankets around her to use in the same fashion. It never works quite right, and falls off quickly. I finally made her one to use for her own babies. :) I used a pattern I found here.
I receive a newsletter from Lion Brand Yarn and they often have ideas I'd love to try. This pattern was called "Bebop Cardi". I used yarn I already had and made this as a birthday gift for Victory. Overall, I'm happy with the results. I did find a few minor issues with the pattern that I would modify if I were to make another one. But, the recipient was happy, so I'm happy!
Earlier this fall a friend of mine delivered quadruplets. They were MUCH too early (by the time their "due date" arrived in December, they were already 3 months old!!), and we continue to pray for their continued growth. They are beginning to come home now, and are also able to wear hats and clothing. I made these hats for them. I wish the picture was better quality... sadly, this is the only picture I took of the finished project!! But, it was fun to do something so simple for these precious bundles. | 2019-04-19T16:23:00 | http://kjllovemylife.blogspot.com/2012/01/ |

First, the name seriously amuses us. It’s also great to see adults perfectly comfortable sporting footie pajamas at the grocery store. It really makes our day or night.
We know it’s kind of a summer thing, but that’s OK. And the lovely folks at the Jackson and Broad location will even put raspberry in it if you want. | 2019-04-20T12:37:32 | https://www.onlineathens.com/marquee/2012-01-25/we |
Trust me. This boy will disturb your mind. He's cute, oh My God, he's Oh-My-God-really cute! | 2019-04-24T14:34:04 | http://indapunyacerita.blogspot.com/2011/04/ |
Quite honestly, I feel both right now. I am crying. A lot. Yoga Flirt has been a miraculous time in my life. It taught me more lessons than we ever taught you. When the idea for the memory wall came up it opened a flood gate for me. Faces, laughter, tears, beauty, women in community, women discovering how strong and feminine they really are.
Truth be told, I am sad and disappointed that no one has yet risen to the challenge of Queen. To see this creation dormant makes me sad. I also trust in Divine timing and that maybe after a short break one or more women who believes so fully in the value and necessity of Yoga Flirt will want to invest her time and efforts to expand it out into the world.
And yet also I am proud, to have courageously created something unique, not to be found anywhere else on Earth. As Elizabeth Gilbert says, that’s Big Magic right there.
As Yoga Flirt slows and moves towards her last breath for now my heart is shattering into a thousand pieces. Each piece has a name on it. One of them is yours.
And also, I am smiling. I am ready and excited to move forward. I’m thrilled and overjoyed to teach private and small group yoga for women. (FYI I’m a kick-a** teacher and Spiritual leader, come take a free class! Ask me for a card.) I am at peace with what has unfolded. I trust there is a reason that right now Yoga Flirt will be tucked away. If they can bring back the X-Files after 13 years…never say never.
Together we practice non-attachment. When things “…come to you, let them come; enjoy their presence. But when they go, enjoy their departure, too. When them come, they come alone, so allow them to go alone without losing your mind along with the external object.” Start to learn who you are beyond the external, who you really are in your soul. You are more than a pole dancer, a Flirt Sister. I can’t tell you who you are. You must dive deep within and ask those questions.
It is from those askings that I have found my own answers. Teacher. Learner. Lover. So many ways to do each of these every day. It opens me to freedom. To teach in a way that stirs and ignites my creativity. To learn vast numbers of subjects. To show love in big ways and small.
What I know for sure: you do not want a leader who wants to be doing something else. I feel sad for your sadness. I honor and recognize your grief. The beauty of grief is that is shows how much we care and love. I see your grief and your gladness for me. You can feel more than one thing at a time, I do. What you feel is real and you should dive deep and allow the feelings to roll through you. Tears. Anger. Confusion. Discomfort at not knowing what’s next.
Maybe underneath that you can explore with me – Faith. Faith that something good will rise from the ashes of this end. The phoenix. A lotus. Out of mud, debris, great beauty and strength rise. The cycle of creation and destruction.
“Destruction is the doorway to positive change.” Have faith in the change. | 2019-04-19T20:20:20 | http://yogaflirt.com/thoughts/goodbye-from-the-queen?shared=email&msg=fail |
In a nutshell: Dinnerly delivers affordable, family-friendly meals to your doorstep, that cost just $5 per portion. Each week, customers can choose among six new menu options. Although their service doesn’t cater to many dietary restrictions, the menu has meal favorites that the whole family can enjoy.
Owned by Marley Spoon, Dinnerly provides an easy, affordable option for cooking fresh meals throughout the week. Rather than focusing on fancy, foodie meals, Dinnerly tries to appeal to a wider base of customers by offering family-friendly meals at just $5 per serving. It's perfect for busy parents or those on a budget.
Because Dinnerly caters to a broader customer base, their meals don’t specialize in dietary restrictions or preferences like vegan, gluten-free, and so on. Although Dinnerly doesn’t have as much of a wide selection as other meal delivery services, customers can still get fairly priced, easy-to-make meals that even kids will enjoy.
Dinnerly takes a step away from the foodie-focused meal delivery services. Their menu appeals to a wider base of customers and consists of more approachable meals that the whole family can enjoy. That includes favorites like chicken alfredo, burgers, roast chicken, grilled cheese, soups, enchiladas, spaghetti and meatballs, and so on. Their menu doesn’t really cater to specific dietary restrictions like gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and so forth. Although the company does have vegetarian meals at times, you may only find one option every few weeks.
Each week customers can choose from six new dinner recipe options. Their menu includes a mix of different kinds of foods such as one-pot meals, poultry-focused, 30-minute meal prep, low calorie, and so on. However, with just six menu choices each week, Dinnerly can’t guarantee to have enough meals to meet dietary restrictions. In addition, Dinnerly currently doesn’t offer breakfasts, lunches, or desserts.
As a meal delivery service, customers subscribe to receive a certain number of recipes each week. From the website, customers can choose from the weekly menu options. Dinnerly will ship the meal kits to your home which come with all the ingredients necessary. Insulated boxes with ice packs ensure that ingredients arrive fresh.
Keep in mind that Dinnerly doesn’t deliver nationwide. However, currently, the company ships to most parts of California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Illinois, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Georgia, Colorado, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, New York, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, and Florida.
Whereas many meal delivery kits will cost $10 or more per serving, Dinnerly cuts that price in half. Customers enjoy home delivered meal kits for just $5 per person. Dinnerly has two plans available. The two-person plan includes two portions per recipe and three recipes per week. This includes $5 per portion plus $8.99 in shipping costs totaling $38.99 per week. Dinnerly also has a four-person meal plan. This comes with four portions per recipe and three recipes per week. Portions also cost $5 per serving plus $8.99 in shipping, totaling $68.99 per week.
Overall, customers will find it easy to sign up and manage their account. The Dinnerly website makes it easy for subscribers to update their account settings or delivery options right online. Customers can get in touch with support directly by email or phone. Their active social media pages like Facebook and Twitter keep customers updated on the latest recipes. For more information, the online FAQ has answers to basic questions. | 2019-04-21T06:08:24 | https://www.thetop10sites.com/meal-delivery-plans/dinnerly/ |

As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno (born 15 May 1948), commonly referred to simply as Eno, is an English musician, composer, record producer, singer and visual artist, known as one of the principal innovators of ambient music.
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.
If you don’t call it art, you’re likely to get a better result.
Ideas worth questioning: "Being an artist is a job for life."
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
My friend Peter Schmidt used to talk about ‘not doing the things that nobody had ever thought of not doing’, which is an inverse process – where you leave out an assumption that everybody has always made and see what happens (e.g. music has to be made of intentionally produced sounds was the assumption that Cage left out). In that version of this process, you discover a value in the absence of something – in fact you discover that the absence of something is the revelation of something else (Buñuel, the film-maker, said, "Every object conceals another" – a message that I often relay in the studio when overdubbing starts).
Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable [sic] as it is interesting. | 2019-04-19T05:01:56 | https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/Brian_Eno |

Welcome to Kellogg, Oxford’s largest and most international graduate college.
Founded in 1990 we are, in effect, Oxford’s newest college – although technically, other more long-standing establishments received their college status subsequent to 1990, or in the case of Green and Templeton, merged to create a new college. In 2015 we celebrated our 25th anniversary, and we look forward to the next 25 years with exciting plans for the College’s development. Our most recent addition was the College Hub, an eco-friendly building that leads the way as the first in the University to be built to Passivhaus standards. Situated in the heart of our grounds, it features a café and common room to welcome alumni, Common Room members and other friends of the College, as well of course as current students, staff and fellows.
The mission of our college is to welcome and support part-time and full-time graduate students to promote the University’s work in life-long learning. We are an inclusive and egalitarian intellectual community, learning and researching across the disciplines. Kellogg values academic excellence, innovation and social relevance. We are flexible and responsive, and give our members a voice in shaping the future of the college.
I trust you will find something of interest on our website, including whatever it might be that you were initially looking for! If not, do let us know. I look forward to seeing you in College. | 2019-04-26T10:43:29 | http://www.kellogg.ox.ac.uk/discover/from-the-president/ |
Providing location and quality information about brick & mortar and online places to buy pens.
For some time the site has had some serious issues. Database corruption was preventing logins and no content was getting updated. The database issue has been fixed and further steps are being taken to make the site stable again.
I really appreciate everyone's time and effort and I'm very anxious to make sure that time and effort is not wasted. Thank you for your patience.
Welcome to penshops.info, the directory of pen shops everywhere, at least so long as you keep adding locations! It's easy: Add your favorite pen shop, or comment on other listings of shops you've been to. The more information we have, the better a resource this site becomes.
Also, here's a list of all the stores in the directory, sorted by time the entry was modified. This can be useful to check on an entry you've added or edited.
The site is in the process of being built (how 1995!) so forgive some incomplete features. In particular, the location search is not functional (though it was until recently so i think I can get it fixed soon). I haven't figured out quite how to handle the brands for which the stores are dealers. Don't let that stop you from adding stores.
Note: The issue with the seller directory not permitting exploration past countries with no listed states or provinces has been fixed. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks for checking out the Pen Shop Directory!
This site is only a useful resource so long as you keep adding locations! It's easy: Add your favorite pen shop, or comment on other listings of shops you've been to. The more information we have, the better a resource this site becomes.
This doesn't work without you! Find the shops you're familiar with and leave comments, star ratings or photos. The more information and opinions we have for each of these shops, the more useful this site becomes. | 2019-04-25T06:01:58 | https://penshops.info/ |
I hope you find the photos and others details interesting. I am constantly developing, adding to, changing and generally messing about with the site all the time as I get ideas and try to present things in different ways.
This page will also be a "Keith blog" of my thoughts as I develop the site. I hope this will give you an idea of how the site is developing.
The side bar gives details of the contents of this page and the latest postings are nearest the top. If you want to avoid my blathering and go straight to the site content there is a link aside.
A happy New Year to you all. One more photo today. This has been passed to me by Terry Brabon and shows his father, Jim, hop spraying in August 1946. I have put this on the "People" page and you can view the page here.
One photo today of a visit to the Massey Ferguson factory which includes my father (Rex). Click here to see.
Must get something new on before the end of the year. Details of the 1952 Harvest Supper added here.
Today's additions are some photos of Levetts Lane being built. These have been kindly supplied by Mike Armitage and they were taken by his father during the construction. Mike also has many memories of Bodiam and Guinness and he is happy to share them. When I have time I will introduce some of them on to the site. The Levetts Lane photos can be found here (at the bottom of the page).
This is a new record for this site. Three updates in a month. Today I have received two photo from Mark Trussler. The first is of his Gran, Mary picking hops at a bin, the second a family picture, again picking at a bin. They can both be found on the Hop Picking page. I must thank Mark for his help in sending me these photos.
I'm really working hard this month. This is the second update. Mainly because I have been contacted by an old school friend who I haven't seen or heard from since the 1970's. Tony Trussler (who now resides in Connecticut) has been in contact and the photos on the site brought back a lot of memories. This along with sorting through my mothers photos has developed a new subject page- Bodiam Primary School - and a couple of photos are posted there to start with.. They can be found here.
Photos of Martyn Lawrence and Alf Hurley taken at the 2004 Weald of Kent Ploughing Match here.
Press Cuttings for February 1929 added here.
Another small addition. Three pages from Guinness Time about "Hopping" written by the Rector of St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney. These can be found on the Hop Picking page.
Two more photos on the People Photos page. I must say thank you to John Brabon for letting me have permission to show these.
Today's addition is two group photos. I don't know where they were taken and what the occasion was. There are many people I cannot identify so any assistance will be appreciated. They can be found on People Photos.
I have finally got around to adding some more information. An additional photo on the Castle Inn page and a new subject of Bodiam Pancake Race.
Today's addition is about the Castle Inn. I need something to spur me on and a recent e-mail from Evelyn Olney (nee George) who now lives in Australia has done just that. The article includes a photo of her sister Linda. Evelyn found the site brought back many memories of Bodiam. I am pleased that both she and others have found the site contains items of interest. I would also like to thank Nick Bodle and John Brabon for their recent messages.
Whilst composing this message I had a call from Martyn Lawrence. He had been looking through the photos on the site with his mother and sister and spotted his maternal grandparents (George and Edith Catt) in one of the 1950 Harvest Supper photos.
Back to Harvest Suppers today. The first Guinness Bodiam Harvest Supper was held in 1950 in the Oast at New House. Details from a "Guinness Time" along with some larger photos from the article can be found here.
I needed something to spur me on to do some more work on the site. I accompanied my mother to the Guinness pensioners lunch yesterday and met many old friends. I also took some of the photographs I have collected - mainly ones of harvest suppers (which I still have to put on the site). I hope it brought back some memories for people.
Anyway, back to today's posting. A section on Hop Training has been added with photos and cuttings from "Guinness Time".
A small update today. Firstly, a football team photo. I'm not sure of the team, who the players are and when it was taken but it looks like a school team. Any help gratefully received. The photo can be viewed here.
There is also some new Press Cuttings for January 1929. Click here for details.
A new year and the start of the hop picking year. Three new sections added, Winter Preparation and Spring Preparation, with Hop Stringing incorporated into "The Hop Picking Year". I hope there is something here that interests you.
Finished 1928 Press Cuttings. November and December are here.
More Press Cuttings this update. Those for September and October 1928 are here. I might get 1928 finished by the end of the year.
A record for the site. Three updates in a week. This time I have been through the press cuttings and have put on those for June, July and August 1928.
Rick and Bernie have spurred me on to more work. They is now a page for Bodiam Football Club. I haven't got all the details of the photos to hand but you can view the photos here. Anyone you recognise?
I hope you like the new front page. I think it gives a better impression of Bodiam. All I have to do now is decide how I can improve the rest of the site - and add more material.
Not much to add this time. A couple of weeks ago Levetts Lane was featured in an article in the Daily Telegraph Property pages. I have copied these and they can be viewed from the Bodiam Housing Association page or by clicking here.
I have also been approached by the new owners of Longacre (Justins) in Sandhurst Road. They are trying to find out the history of the property. Can anyone help?
No sooner had I put the above update on, I logged onto my e-mail and found two messages about the site. The first was from Rick Sellens. He corrected me on his name which I had put on as Mick. Sorry Rick, I have corrected it now.
The second was from Bernard Lawrence. He has been having fun picking out all the photos of his relations (I still have some more that Martyn let me have to put on).
Thank you to both of you for giving me feedback. Your comments make the site so much more worthwhile and spurs me on to adding more.
Can it be 2 months since I last added to the site? How time flies. Today there are two pictures of hop picking kindly supplied by Eileen Lawrence.
Another Lawrence, Martyn in this case has also hunted out some more photos of Bodiam which I hope to be able to put on the site soon. I recently met Martyn at the Weald of Kent Ploughing Match where he was competing in only his second ploughing match. He came a credible third in Vintage Class for Local trailed Ploughs. As a thank you to Martyn for his help with this site I have put a few photos of him and his Vintage tractors on the site under the heading "Martyn's Tractors".
It is raining this evening (the first time this month I think) and I have recently been looking at the press cuttings. I think it is about time I started to copy them and put some on the site. So, there is a new page titled "Press Cuttings" which will link to various months and years (when I get round to it) but I've made a start at January 1928. (Actually the first cutting is 31 December 1927, but it is the first one in the book).
Time for more work on the site. I went to "Step Back in Time" at Sedlescombe on Sunday (3 August 2003) and met several people with an interest in the site.
Keith and Isobel Matthews along with Mrs Dawson were particularly interested in the photo of the opening of Levetts Lane so I have put the photo and an extract from Guinness Time on the site under the heading "Bodiam Housing Association". Mrs Dawson identified several people in the photo and I would be grateful if Isobel could let me have details at some stage. Also, Isobel, if you want a copy of the photo let me know.
The photo may also be of interest to John and Maggie Burgess. I'm not sure but I think John and his mum are in the photo. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Maggie for her kind comments about the site.
I'm being overtaken by information. I have just borrowed from Lettie Foster, two albums of photographs and one of cuttings giving information about Guinness and Bodiam. The cuttings have provided me with some information I have been looking for for some time - how and when Guinness came to Bodiam.
It will take some time to make copies of the photographs and cuttings and then decide where to put them on the site. However, I have made a start and "Early Days at Bodiam" can be found under the heading "Guinness and Bodiam".
I've decided that an opening page is not needed so I have redesigned this page to act as the introduction to the site.
The collection of photographs is coming along nicely. Firstly, I must thank Frank and Mary Macey and Vera Sims for their recent contributions. Frank and Mary have been able to put some names to faces and Vera has lent me some very interesting press cuttings from 1928 to 1936. I will try and put some of the more relevant ones on the site in the next few weeks.
In going through the press cuttings I have quickly realised that I have got the title for the website wrong. Ockham and Udiam Farms are in Ewhurst Parish, not Bodiam. In fact, as soon I started looking at it more deeply I discovered (what I had always known, but not really thought about) that no village is a village in isolation but is interlinked with neighbouring villages. Just taking Bodiam, those in Peters Green had connections with Sandhurst, those at Upper Northlands and the Junction had connections with Salehurst and Hawkhurst, those in Bodiam village with Ewhurst. And, of course, Ewhurst was a large parish which took in both Staplecross and Cripps Corner. Anyway, I'm not trying to decide on a new name and Bygone Bodiam will remain. | 2019-04-19T23:09:25 | http://bygonebodiam.co.uk/Archives.html |

Wabi-Sabi: Donutbuzz Missed National Donut Day (again)?!
Donutbuzz Missed National Donut Day (again)?!
I'm pleased to call Hoyt of Donutbuzz a good friend, but his consistent failure to commemorate National Doughnut Day on a blog entitled "DonutBuzz" is troublesome. I'm not sure why he keeps forgetting such an important "Holey Day", but I fear it may be the result of organized crime. | 2019-04-21T22:50:45 | http://www.jimmckay.org/2009/06/donutbuzz-missed-national-donut-day.html |

Do not use this feature; it is easy to bypass so paper-thin as to be useless. The only true access-control is denying access to particular index values.
yes I can understand that there will be security issue I just wanted to understand How to bypass take access to all data using calculated fields ...as I was trying to create calculated fields to bypass access but unable to do so as I have only 1 host, source and sourcetype.
If the restriction requires a field, then create a calculated field that defines it; if it requires the field not to exist, create a calculated field that sets it to null(). Boom! Bypassed.
What's the best way to limit a role so it only has access to a dashboard? It has a lot of drilldowns.
How do I limit access to specific events in one index?
Is there a way to restrict app views based on specific users?
Why are my role-based search filters are not being applied?
Is it possible to assign roles to only have access to certain summary indexes? | 2019-04-26T02:23:52 | https://answers.splunk.com/answers/702846/limit-access-to-specific-events-in-one-index.html |
Never mind that the Mueller investigation is, comparatively, in its infancy. The Whitewater probe of Bill and Hillary Clinton, for example, began in 1994 and ended more than six years later. Mueller’s 12 months of work has turned up more clear wrongdoing than Kenneth Starr ever did: There have been 20 indictments and 5 guilty pleas, including prominent senior members of the campaign and administration, and that doesn’t take into account the wealth of information that Mueller has yet to make public.
“Wrap it up” advocates can point to a slight uptick in Trump’s approval ratings, and a downtick in public support for the investigation. They seem to think that if Mueller doesn’t close up shop soon in response to political pressure, Trump’s position is strong enough that he could put an end to it, perhaps by firing the special counsel or the special counsel’s boss, Deputy Atty. Gen. Rod Rosenstein, and weather any storm the move occasions.
The probe isn’t going to end soon, simply or painlessly for this president. Trump remains in great peril.
They’re wrong. The probe isn’t going to end soon, simply or painlessly for this president. Trump remains in great peril.
Anyone paying attention over the last year knows Mueller will not yield to political pressure. His investigators haven’t leaked; they have ignored vicious personal attacks; they haven’t veered in the slightest from prosecutorial professionalism.
So to “wrap it up,” Trump would have to make a move, but will he?
The president and his lawyers are strategizing about whether he will agree to be interviewed by Mueller, either voluntarily or under subpoena. If he were to refuse, as the current swing of the pendulum suggests, and then try to end the probe, he would only seem more guilty and undermine his support even among Republicans. If his refusal were to lead, as expected, to a court battle, we would expect the Supreme Court to settle the issue. Any move by Trump to preempt it would again only undermine his credibility.
In addition, the president and his circle are well aware of how fast the midterm election is approaching and what effect an attempt to fire Mueller could have on the outcome. They want to avoid any action that would help the Democrats flip the House. Such a shift would change every calculation, not least because a Democratic majority could move to impeach the president early next year.
Of course, Trump may calculate that he could get away with firing Mueller now, if he moved quickly and the Republican leadership rallied to his side. But it is equally possible that Congress would respond with legislation to reinstate Mueller. Again, the field of battle would shift to the courts.
Most importantly, even a successful ouster of Mueller would not derail the investigation at this point. Too much evidence has been gathered, and too many prosecutors, who have surely considered and planned for the contingency, stand ready to carry on. Should Trump try to shutter the entire special counsel’s office, a much graver and politically and legally riskier act than firing Mueller or Rosenstein, other divisions in the Department of Justice, in particular the Southern District of New York, would also be ready to take up the charge.
The strength of all that evidence, the careful work done thus far, and the indictments already filed are the special counsel’s protection against “witch hunt” tweets and protestations that the investigation is already over with nothing to show for it.
In the course of the past year, we’ve learned not to underestimate what Mueller knows and what bombshell he may have prepared. It may involve the Russians and the campaign, it may involve obstruction of justice, but there are other relevant threads as well: the true motive behind the Seychelles meeting between Trump associate Erik Prince and the head of a Russian wealth fund, the hacking of Democratic Party emails and its links to Trump political advisor Roger Stone, the recent sale of Russia’s state owned oil company to Qatar.
Last week we discovered that Mueller was way ahead of us on the huge payments made to Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen for access to the president. We don’t yet know what he’s found out from cooperating witnesses, including Michael Flynn and Rick Gates, that might point directly at the president. And there is still the possibility that Paul Manafort or Cohen could decide to cooperate with the investigation.
None of these threads signals Trump’s removal from office. A conviction in the Senate, no matter what happens in the midterm, would require a good number of Republicans to turn against the president, which seems remote absent a smoking gun that proves grave criminal conduct. But it is more than plausible that the probe and associated investigations will result in additional indictments of Trump associates — including Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. — and will leave Trump seriously wounded, an untenable candidate in 2020. Once he leaves office, his legal exposure, both civil and criminal, would skyrocket.
The “wrap it up” crowd is indulging in wishful thinking. The first anniversary of the Mueller investigation is unlikely to be the last.
An earlier version of this article included Carter Page rather than Rick Gates as a cooperating witness in the Mueller investigation. | 2019-04-22T16:38:47 | https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-litman-mueller-anniversary-20180516-story.html |

Feeling sad about aging? Why? You’ve never been this age before.
We all have our time. I used to be a one-year-old. Not anymore. Now, it’s my granddaughter’s turn to experience that year.
At her birthday party, I had a wonderful conversation with a friend I rarely get to see. First, we talked about her aging mother. Then we talked about our kids. Her’s are 13 and 11. Mine are 23 and 27.
Kristin’s already missing her aging and ill mother. She talks about what will happen when her growing boys leave the nest. Her eyes puddle with tears.
And then I told her what I tell myself when I feel like so much of my life is formed of memories, of cycles of life that have concluded.
We all have our time.
Each milestone is a wonderful journey. So glad you liked this, Didi! | 2019-04-23T14:39:55 | https://carolyndenniswillingham.com/2017/03/06/feeling-sad-about-aging-why-youve-never-been-this-age-before/ |

SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, et al., Respondents.
Petitioner Bryan Keith Sanford challenges a prison disciplinary conviction resulting in sixty days loss of gain time. Petitioner raises three claims for relief in his Petition (Doc. 1). Respondents filed a Response to Order to Show Cause (Response) (Doc. 6) with supporting Exhibits. Petitioner filed a Reply Unto Respondent[s'] Response to Order to Show Cause (Reply) (Doc. 23). See Order (Doc. 7). The Court deemed Petitioner's Response to Court's Order (Doc. 8) to be his notice that he does not intend to reply. Order (Doc. 10). Based on the Petition and the Response, the Court concludes the Petition is due to be denied.
Petitioner raises three grounds in his Petition: (1) a due process violation due to insufficient evidence being presented to support the "some evidence" standard established in Superintendent, Mass. Corr. Inst., Walpole v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445, 447 (1985); (2) a due process violation based on inadequate written notice of the charge and evidence as established in Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539 (1974); and (3) a due process violation due to insufficient evidence being presented to support a showing of constructive or actual possession or use of a cellular telephone.
Respondents urge this Court to deny the Petition. Response at 15. The Court will address the three grounds raised in the Petition, see Clisby v. Jones, 960 F.2d 925, 936 (11th Cir. 1992), but no evidentiary proceedings are required in this Court.
The Eleventh Circuit, in Medberry v. Crosby, 351 F.3d 1049, 1053 (11th Cir. 2003), cert. denied, 541 U.S. 1032 (2004), determined that "a state prisoner may file a habeas corpus petition to challenge the loss of gain time as a result of state prison disciplinary proceeding that allegedly violates his due process rights under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, although such a petition is governed by the restrictions set forth at 28 U.S.C. § 2254." Tedesco v. Sec'y for the Dep't of Corr., 190 Fed.Appx. 752, 755-56 (11th Cir. 2006) (citing Medberry, 351 F.3d at 1054), cert. denied, 549 U.S. 1127 (2007). Therefore, this Court may not grant relief unless The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) parameters of review are satisfied. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254; Ledford v. Warden, Ga. Diagnostic & Classification Prison, 818 F.3d 600, 642 (11th Cir. 2016), cert. denied, 137 S.Ct. 1432 (2017).
"AEDPA limits the scope of federal habeas review of state court judgments[.]" Pittman v. Sec'y, Fla. Dep't of Corr., 871 F.3d 1231, 1243 (11th Cir. 2017). As such, AEDPA ensures that federal habeas relief is limited to extreme malfunctions, and not used as a means to attempt to correct state court errors. Ledford, 818 F.3d at 642 (quoting Greene v. Fisher, 132 S.Ct. 38, 43 (2011)).
Thus, under AEDPA, a person in custody pursuant to the judgment of a state court shall not be granted habeas relief on a claim "that was adjudicated on the merits in State court proceedings" unless the state court's decision was "contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States; or ... was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding." 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). "For § 2254(d), clearly established federal law includes only the holdings of the Supreme Court-not Supreme Court dicta, nor the opinions of this Court." Taylor v. Sec'y, Fla. Dep't of Corr., 760 F.3d 1284, 1293-94 (11th Cir. 2014).
As for the "contrary to" clause, "a federal habeas court may grant the writ if the state court arrives at a conclusion opposite to that reached by [the Supreme Court] on a question of law or if the state court decides a case differently than [the Supreme Court] has on a set of materially indistinguishable facts." Terry Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362, 412-13, 120 S.Ct. 1495, 146 L.Ed.2d 389 (2000). Under the "unreasonable application" clause, a federal habeas court may "grant the writ if the state court identifies the correct governing legal principle from [the Supreme Court's] decisions but unreasonably applies that principle to the facts." Id. at 413, 120 S.Ct. 1495. "In other words, a federal court may grant relief when a state court has misapplied a 'governing legal principle' to 'a set of facts different from those of the case in which the principle was announced.'" Wiggins v. Smith, 539 U.S. 510, 520, 123 S.Ct. 2527, 156 L.Ed.2d 471 (2003) (quoting Lockyer v. Andrade, 538 U.S. 63, 76, 123 S.Ct. 1166, 155 L.Ed.2d 144 (2003)). And "an 'unreasonable application of' [Supreme Court] holdings must be objectively unreasonable, not merely wrong; even clear error will not suffice." Woods v. Donald, --- U.S. __, 135 S.Ct. 1372, 1376, 191 L.Ed.2d 464 (2015) (per curiam) (quotation omitted). To overcome this substantial hurdle, "a state prisoner must show that the state court's ruling on the claim being presented in federal court was so lacking in justification that there was an error well understood and comprehended in existing law beyond any possibility for fairminded disagreement." Harrington v. Richter, 562 U.S. 86, 103, 131 S.Ct. 770, 178 L.Ed.2d 624 (2011). This is "meant to be" a difficult standard to meet. Id. at 102, 131 S.Ct. 770.
Pittman, 871 F.3d at 1243-44.
There is a presumption of correctness of state court's factual findings, unless the presumption is rebutted with clear and convincing evidence. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(e)(1). The standard of proof is demanding, requiring that a claim be highly probable. Bishop v. Warden, GDCP, 726 F.3d 1243, 1258 (11th Cir. 2013), cert. denied, 135 S.Ct. 67 (2014). Also, the state court's determination will not be superseded if reasonable minds might disagree about the factual finding. Brumfield v. Cain, 135 S.Ct. 2269, 2277 (2015). Also of note, "[t]his presumption of correctness applies equally to factual determinations made by the state trial and appellate courts." Pope v. Sec'y for Dep't of Corr., 680 F.3d 1271, 1284 (11th Cir. 2012) (quoting Bui v. Haley, 321 F.3d 1304, 1312 (11th Cir. 2003)), cert. denied, 568 U.S. 1233 (2013).
Prison disciplinary proceedings are not part of a criminal prosecution; therefore, the full panoply of rights that are due a defendant in a criminal proceeding do not apply in a prison disciplinary proceeding. See Wolff, 418 U.S. at 556 ("[T]here must be mutual accommodation between institutional needs and objectives and the provisions of the Constitution[.]"). It is important to note that inmates are entitled to some due process protections, and Wolff instructs that inmates must receive (1) advance written notice of the charges against them; (2) an opportunity for the inmate to call witnesses and present documentary evidence, so long as doing so is consistent with institutional safety and correctional goals; and (3) a written statement by the factfinder outlining the evidence relied on and the reasons for the disciplinary action. Id. at 563-66. Also of import, Hill instructs that the revocation of good time credits only satisfies minimal standards of procedural due process if "the findings of the prison disciplinary board are supported by some evidence in the record." Hill, 472 U.S. at 454. In determining whether there is "some evidence" in the record to support the disciplinary decision, this Court will not engage in a de novo review of the evidence. Id. at 455.
Petitioner exhausted his state remedies by filing a petition for mandamus in Florida state court. Ex. A. The circuit court, citing the Supreme Court's decisions in Wolff and Hill, denied the mandamus petition. Ex. A at 100-104. The First District Court of Appeal (1st DCA) denied Petitioner's petition for writ of certiorari. Ex. B at 170. | 2019-04-25T12:29:18 | http://fl.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.20180320_0000949.MFL.htm/qx |
