WASHINGTON – "Today we are proud to announce that Damian Goddard has joined NOM's Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance (MADA), to speak on behalf of the rights of decent, loving, law-abiding citizens to speak, to write, to donate, to organize and to act to defend marriage," stated Brian Brown, president of NOM, announcing a new spokesperson for the group whose goal is to create a supportive community for those who have been threatened for standing for marriage.
Damian Goddard, a former sportscaster for the Canadian network Rogers Sportsnet, lost his job after tweeting his support of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. After a career of nearly 20 years spanning both radio and television sports broadcasting, and at the time one of the leading anchors on Sportsnet, Goddard was immediately fired for voicing his view on marriage.
"I expected that they would try to force me to recant, write an apology, would threaten a suspension, or give me a 'slap on the wrist' of some sort. Instead, just seconds into our meeting, I was told I was out of a job." explains Goddard. "We cannot stay silent on this, we have hope and a message and we cannot just sit back and be silent. Marriage is a unique institution and we must become involved."
Now Goddard has taken on a new role, as spokesman for MADA, giving a voice to others who have faced pressure to remain silent on the marriage issue. "In the sports world, no matter the sport, if you sit back and relax and you are going to lose. The National Organization for Marriage and MADA are giving people the voice they need to fight back, and, while I wish I had not been fired from my former job, I am thrilled to be able to be a part of this effort," said Goddard.

Jammu: Movement across the International Border (IB) indicates that Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) has come out with a fresh move to push the infiltrators to the Indian side for unleashing more terror in the Valley. This cunning move by the ISI came to light after the observations made by different intelligence agencies in the past few days, especially at the IB. Highly placed sources said now the terrorists, as per the new move, were opening gunfire from across the border to give a slip to the Indian security forces. Earlier, before the November 2003 announcement of ceasefire, Pak rangers used to trade gunfire with Indian forces to give cover to the infiltrators to sneak into India. However, to avoid criticism from the international community, the ISI is now imparting special training to the terrorists how to tackle with the Indian troops at the border while crossing over the sources said. They added that the new modus operandi of the terrorists now was that a group of armed terrorists would open fire from one side across the border to ensure the concentration of Indian troops towards that side, and while there would be exchange of fire, a small group of two to three armed terrorists waiting on the other side would attempt to cross over through the fenced border. The pointer to this fact is the recent exchange of fire between armed terrorists across the border and Indian troops in border village Manguchak in Kathua district late Monday night. However, the attempt was foiled and the terrorists had to crawl back due to the retaliatory fire. Later, on late Wednesday night, a similar attempt was repeated by the terrorists from Thakurpura border belt in Pakistan - area falls between Border Out Posts Katao and Chack Dulma in Hiranagar sector - which, too, was foiled by the Indian security forces, said the sources. They added that what was worrying the forces was the 'silence' of Pak rangers, even after witnessing the fire from across the border. When contacted, Border Security Force (BSF) officers confirmed that a suspicious movement was sighted across the border and about 20-30 rounds were also fired simultaneously by the naka party at Chak Dulma and Katao BOPs, but strictly maintained that there was no infiltration. Denying that any terrorist has managed to sneak into the Indian side, a BSF officer said the naka parties even fired para- bombs to light the border area to check infiltration. | 2019-04-20T00:34:14 | http://jammu-kashmir.com/archives/archives2004/kashmir20040820c.html |

Find Top Gold Coast Sports Chiropractors Near Me.
Chiropractors can assist with frequent sports injuries It is typically best to go to a chiropractor first prior to visiting a massage therapist, especially if you feel like you experience an injury forming. Our staff of chiropractors may also recommend massage in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments as a piece of a general treatment strategy.
Firstly, there’s treatment for symptoms. If all these therapies aren’t doing the trick, you might need to think about back surgery. Manipulative therapy denotes the procedure for manually re-aligning the musculoskeletal structure.
Massage therapy is quite an important type of healing, but it doesn’t have the exact same broad reach of practice that chiropractic does. What you might find after undergoing massage therapy is how it actually will help to place your skeleton into the right alignment.
An answer to ensuring appropriate sleep, and avoiding back pain, is the usage of a suitable mattress. Taking corrective measures about the way somebody’s sleeps can aid in avoiding back pain on the job.
A standard complaint among people at work is recurring back pain. In the realm of massage, it might actually trigger concern to the Massage Therapist. A person intent on a general healthier life, and who desires to avoid back pain on the job, should take part in a standard exercise or physical fitness routine. Now think about an individual, who’s either single or within a non affectionate `non touching’ relationship.
For those who have a condition that may require attention, see your chiropractor they’ll be able to assist you or steer you in the direction of somebody who can assist you.
The spine is trustworthy for two significant functions. The spine, which is ordinarily called the backbone, is a significant portion of the human skeletal system. Work with the scar as frequently as you consider it. Healing, based on whom you speak to, is a complicated course of action. It doesn’t have to take this long, but this should give you an idea of how patient you should be.
Without exercise, you won’t recuperate. You may help prevent it by doing squat exercises. These exercises will lower the prospect of getting re-injured. Rehabilitation exercises are a critical step in ensuring the reason for the challenge is fixed. Training can be finished at the certificate or degree level which is most suitable for you.
One reason for tight muscles is that they’re weak and for that reason overworked. When you have sore muscles or want to simply relax and unwind, you might want to go to a massage therapist. Without the right exercises pain will often reoccur since the reason for the ailment wasn’t properly addressed.
Trauma may have occurred because of car crash or serious fall. If your injuries keep you from doing some or all you used in order to do and did in the vicinity of your house and for your loved ones, then it is possible to claim for future aid in the vicinity of your house.
Speak with an expert to understand what options are offered for you. How it’s an easily available treatment option makes it quite good a choice for anyone who would like to make sure overall wellness. There are lots of self-treatment choices for hand and wrist pain.

The first International Organization for Standardization (ISO) tank containers were manufactured in the late 1960s, with the ISOTANK name being registered by Andrews of Aintree Ltd, Liverpool, UK in 1969. These were also the first tanks to gain design approvals for international transport by Lloyds Register and the UK Department of Transport.
Today, tank containers are used to transport a wide range of cargoes including gases, powders, liquids and other hazardous and non-hazardous loads, as well as a wide range of perishable and non-perishable food and food-grade products including orange juice, wine and even liquid chocolate. They can be cooled or heated using thermal jackets, either to protect perishable goods or to turn viscous commodities like heavy fuel oil into a more liquid state for unloading. The majority of tank containers are constructed from stainless steel and are manufactured by a handful of global companies. One such company is Welfit Oddy, based in South Africa. In 2016, they manufactured 6,300 containers, some 14% of the global total.
Approximately 80% of the stainless steel used to manufacture the containers is Type 316 – containing 2% molybdenum – although other grades including 304 and lean duplex 2001 are also used. Stainless steel accounts for more than 60% of the weight of the container – 2.5 tonnes of the total empty weight of 4 tonnes. At least one manufacturer has started to produce the tank barrel from higher strength 2205 duplex stainless steel to make lighter packages with even better corrosion resistance.
A typical container has a capacity of 25,000 liters and a maximum gross weight of 34 tonnes. The tank is usually surrounded by a protective insulating layer of polyurethane and aluminium and is secured inside a rectangular steel frame made to ISO specifications, nearly 20 feet (6 meters) long, nearly 8 feet (2.5 meters) wide, and approximately 8 feet (2.5 meters) high. The ISO accreditation is important as it guarantees that the tank unit will seamlessly connect with an entire transport infrastructure by road, rail and sea, just as regular ISO containers do.
It is this intermodal capability which has proved such a catalyst for the growth of the container industry, as the goods remain in the same container throughout their journey, whatever the mode of transport. Roger Gloor is Technical Manager for Bertschi AG, a global logistics service provider. Sharing his insights of tank container transport and its growing impact on cargo movements, he said: “What we have seen in the past decade is a globalization of product flow. Products are increasingly sourced not just regionally or on the same continent, but globally, and containerization makes this easier, allowing us to ship cargo ‘door to door’, using the most appropriate method. This means we can plan better, reduce lead times, and fix costs much more competitively.” Container transport is as flexible as the infrastructure allows, and because of this, it is usually also the most sustainable, saving energy and resources.
So why use molybdenum-containing Type 316 stainless steel? “Type 316 has several advantages,” said Roger. “It is easy to clean, provides excellent resistance against chemical corrosion and has good tensile strength. Because of its global availability, it’s also easy to source and repair anywhere in the world, and given its durability, it is competitively priced.
Chemicals are increasingly complex and present new corrosion challenges, but providing that the tanks are thoroughly cleaned and loaded correctly, there is no reason why containers shouldn’t give many years of reliable service.” Once the product has been delivered, the tank is cleaned according to the nature of its contents and is ready to be used again. There are many different cleaning processes depending on the cargo, and each process has a different application time, rangingfrom a few minutes to several days. These processes are an important factor in ensuring the quality and safety of transportation, and are regularly checked in accordance with international regulations.
The ease of cleaning stainless steel and its durability over repeated cycles is also an important logistical consideration. Historically, many commodities were transported in bulk by sea or in drums, which can be difficult to clean and are often disposed of after a single journey. In comparison, tank containers are rarely unused for any stage of a journey – including when they are initially delivered to their logistics customers. New containers built in South Africa typically leave laden with the country’s largest export – wine – in an elegantly efficient matching of one-way supply and demand.
Products are transported to and from every continent, with the flexibility of intermodal container transport helping to make previously unviable journeys possible. New rail routes have recently been opened up between China and Europe, taking advantage of the shorter distances and transit times over land compared to the sea route. Convoys of tank containers complete the 8,000 kilometer rail journey in just 18 days. The efficiency – and ultimately, sustainability – of tank containers are fuelling a boom in this sector which shows no sign of abating. In 2016 another 44,450 tanks were manufactured around the world, using more than 110,000 tonnes of stainless steel and nearly 1,800 tonnes of molybdenum, making tank containers a significant end-use application for molybdenum.
At the end of 2016, there were some 508,000 containers in existence around the world, an increase of 8.5% over the previous year. This popularity is due in part to the durability of the containers and their resistance to corrosion. Despite a variety of corrosive cargo, endless movement and vigorous cleaning, the containers are used over and over again, thanks to molybdenumcontaining stainless steel.
International Molybdenum Association (IMOA) was founded in 1989 and is registered under Belgian law as a non-profit trade association (ASBL) with scientific purposes. IMOA currently represents some 85% of mine production and almost all conversion capacity outside China, as well as some mining and conversion capacity within China.

National trauma databank analysis of mortality and limb loss in isolated lower extremity vascular trauma.
Kauvar DS1, Sarfati MR, Kraiss LW.
Division of Vascular Surgery, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84103, USA.
Lower extremity injury is common in trauma patients; however, the influence of arterial injury on devastating patient and limb outcomes can be confounded by the presence and physiological derangement of concomitant head or thoracoabdominal injuries. We analyzed isolated lower extremity injuries with an arterial component. Our aim was to elucidate factors associated with mortality and limb loss in this selected population.
We reviewed trauma incidents from the National Trauma Data Bank (2002-2006) containing isolated lower extremity injury codes and a specified infrainguinal arterial injury. Demographics, injury patterns, clinical characteristics, and adverse outcomes (death, amputation) during initial hospitalization were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for limb loss.
There were 651 isolated infrainguinal arterial injuries. Death (18) and early limb loss (42) were studied by mechanism (penetrating, n = 431; blunt, n = 220). Half of the deaths involved injury to the common femoral artery (CFA), and over 80% had injury to the CFA or superficial femoral artery (SFA). Death was three times as frequent in the CFA/SFA than in the popliteal/tibial injuries (P = .02). Penetrating injuries were present in almost 80% of deaths, and most of these were gunshot wounds. Patients who died had mean initial systolic blood pressure of 59.7 mm Hg, and almost 40% had no blood pressure on arrival. Mean initial Glasgow Coma Score was 4.5, and almost 80% arrived with a Glasgow Coma Score of 3 despite the absence of head injury. Twenty-seven above- and 15 below-the-knee amputations were performed. The popliteal artery was injured in half of the amputations, with injury isolated to the popliteal or tibial arteries in about three-quarters. Amputation was twice as frequent in popliteal/tibial than CFA/SFA injury (P = .03) and twice as frequent in blunt than penetrating injury (P = .05). Multiple arterial injuries (odds ratio, 5.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-15.6; P = .003), and fracture (odds ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-4.2; P = .02) independently predicted amputation, while the presence of nerve injury and soft tissue disruption did not.
Isolated lower extremity trauma with vascular injury has a nearly 10% rate of mortality or limb loss. Mortality is associated with penetrating mechanism and early shock, likely resulting from prehospital proximal arterial hemorrhage. In contrast, early limb loss is more common with blunt distal vascular injury, especially to the popliteal and tibial arteries. Neither nerve nor soft tissue injury predicted limb loss but may result in delayed amputations not captured in this acute outcomes dataset.

Today’s guest post is by Nuri Abdur-Rauf. USA native, Nuri, is interning with us at Asilia while she pursues an MA in Contemporary Typographic Media at the University of the Arts London College of Communication. We’ve been privy to what she’s working on for her final project – getting tidbits and sneak peeks of work in progress over lunch. I personally have learned a whole lot about African American English (AAE) and my own perceptions/preconceptions have been challenged! Here, Nuri shares a little bit of her fascinating topic. Enjoy!
There are about 5,000-7,000 recognized languages in use in the world today. The amount of dialects (versions of languages that are specific to a region or group) can't even be traced because of the vastness in variation that is related to factors like geographic location, education level, ethnicity and social status.
I've always been fascinated by language and all that it embodies. This is why reading books are some of my first memories, why I couldn't be consoled after I got tripped up while spelling "carriage" in my 4th grade spelling bee and why I proofread for pleasure. I think it's also a big part of why I decided to get my Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Creative Writing and even though I'm working on my Master's right now in Graphic Design and Typography, the research I've decided to concentrate on deals squarely with linguistics and how people remix language to suit them.
My research centers around African American English (AAE) – also known as Black English, African American Vernacular English and many other monikers – and how it can be represented typographically. African American English is what its name suggests – a dialect of English that is primarily spoken by African Americans. It includes its own set of grammar and pronunciation patterns, a huge vocabulary of words and terms, distinct tone and inflection styles as well as body language. To put it simply, it's a rich and complex way of speaking that reflects its speakers. It developed from our creation as a people nearly 400 years ago, out of the need and desire for those taken from different parts of the continent to find a common linguistic ground to tread on and communicate amongst themselves in the strange land they'd been forcefully brought to. It began as a means of survival and has endured to the present day, morphing and adapting to the changing times, still with the undertone of survival but also of expression, identity and tradition.
Growing up down south in the states, in Georgia and South Carolina, hearing and speaking AAE was natural to me. It was just as natural to learn that there were times to speak it (around close family and friends and in relaxed settings); times when you should switch to the more mainstream, accepted form of English (I revoke the term Standard English because I don't think such a thing exists, but that's a different blog post) and; times when your speech could fall somewhere in between. This practice is called code switching and is a fluid occurrence that almost every Black American person I know considers to be second nature. The ease of turning it on and off comes from conditioning and is a window into what being Black in America entails. Code switching is necessary because of the unsettled racial inequality that exists in the country. Those who can't successfully code switch may miss out on opportunities. Their voices are often marginalized, their character is often judged unfairly and incorrectly. This complicated relationship that America has with AAE is the basis for my research and I hope to unpack some of the misjudging by presenting this way of speaking visually and in a positive light.
There is intense academic debate over the true origins of AAE – whether it is an amalgamation of the many African languages that converged when slavery in the United States began, versus whether AAE is a byproduct of the various English dialects that slaves first heard spoken by the white British, Scottish and Irish indentured servants they labored with. Personally, I think it's all of the above and it's a waste of time to "pick a side." Nevertheless, it's ridiculous to believe that AAE doesn't have ties to the ample amount of languages across the diaspora.
During my research, I've come across the possible etymology of some of the words found in AAE's lexicon and their roots in the Wolof language of Senegal and Gambia (see illustrations above). While listening to a recording of a talk held at The British Library in 2010 on the language of hip hop, it was eye-opening to hear moderator MK Asante drop knowledge on these words – considered slang in mainstream America – and how they tie the African American experience to Africa (I could do an entire seperate project on AAE as it relates to hip hop music).
As I continue my research, I hope to uncover more connections. Information like this and the general discussion about this subject will hopefully help foster acceptance and begin to dissuade the isolation that AAE speakers experience by simply trying to communicate.
AAE is beautiful. Just as its speakers are, just as the struggles they triumph over are, just as their ancestral homeland is.
Nuri is conducting a survey to gather opinions on AAE. It is open to all, from AAE speakers to those who are learning about it for the first time. Find it by clicking here. The survey is open until the end of August.

According to a folk belief widely circulated in Europe, certain persons were capable of transforming themselves into wolves on Christmas Eve. The night itself was filled with innumerable magical possibilities: water became wine; the mandrake root of legendary fame bloomed and apple trees simultaneously bore blossoms and fruit. At this time of year Frau Holda appeared with True Eckart, leading an unruly procession. An encounter with this Christmas goddess and her companion was both terrifying and rewarding. An unsuspecting mortal who unwittingly crossed path with Frau Holda’s procession received that most illusive Christmas gift of all, one that kept on giving. If you were lucky enough to be holding a beer stein when you met up with her, your glass would always be filled with tasty beer. That is, until you unwittingly disclosed the source of your secret brew.
The night was also good for augering the future. On Christmas Eve the curious hollowed out 12 onions and filled them with salt. Placing them strategically around the room, each onion was designated as a month of the year. On Christmas morning the onions would be carefully examined and the future predicted according to the shape of each onion. A shriveled January onion could only mean a month of meagerness. Likewise a bloated bulb could only portend a fat and prosperous 30 days. As in most things, it appears that much was left to the imagination of the beholder.
But back to the Christmas wolf. The wolf was originally significant as companion to Woton (Southern Germanic tribes) or Odin (Northern Germanic tribes). Two wolves reputedly were always by his side and they behaved more or less like hunting dogs. Because of this connection, the wolf became forever associated with heathen or pagan beliefs. An unbaptised child was referred to as heidenwolf (heathen wolf). There were certain methods one could employ to become a wolf: rubbing your body with magical salve or fastening your buckle in the 9th hole of your belt were popular methods. But remarkably, it was on Christmas Eve when pagan powers were especially potent. Persons with such inclinations could transform themselves into wolves quite easily on this night. Why someone would want to become a wolf is anyone’s guess. The night itself was considered to be imbued with supernatural powers.
A wolf in December is a ravenous beast. The all-devouring creature in Little Red Riding Hood is juxtaposed with the life-giving nourishment of wine and cake the maid brings her grandmother. In Europe, there is a traditional cake associated with Christmas and the month of December, with many different regional variations. In Germany, this cake is celebrated for its richness and is called Christmas stollen. Other countries also eat a sweet cake, often filled with raisins, nuts or other fruits. Folk tradition stipulates that eating this cake is absolutely necessary, for its richness awards strength and much needed poundage to survive the long winter months. To ward off the ravenous beast within, bake this Christmas stollen and enjoy. Substitute raisins for the dried cherries to bake a more traditional European stollen.
Add while kneading:1 3/4 sticks soft butter, the dried fruit/rum mixture, 1/4 cup coarsely chopped and lightly toasted almonds.
Roll into log about 6 inches long and 1/2 inch in diameterRemove dough from bowl and lightly roll out to a 1-inch thick oval (roughly 14 x 9 inches).
Place nut log in center. Fold over and shape into loaf.
Brush loaf with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Place on greased cookie sheet.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Using sharp knife, cut 3 cross-shaped notches across top of loaf. Let rise until double in size. Bake stollen for about 50 minutes or when knife inserted in center comes out clean. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Top with powdered sugar. | 2019-04-23T22:29:08 | https://www.fairytalechannel.com/2008_12_05_archive.html |
Restore Church —Rest or Toil?
I was cleaning out my garage the other day of all the mess winter gathers and I found an as-yet unused two-person travel hammock that I received at a Yankee Swap from a family Christmas party. It’s unlikely to ever be used by two people, but I’m thankful for the added security. I pulled it out and set it aside, hoping that the day would come when I could lay in it and take a rest.
Rest. That’s what the hammock symbolized for me.
It probably doesn’t strictly needto be warm outside to rest. But I feel like it does. I’m not going to hang the it out in the cold and bundle myself up in blankets. I’m going to rest by swinging from the maple branches, the leaves forming a canopy rustling ever so slightly in the warm breeze.
All of this came back to me as I was driving, and the sun came out from behind the clouds. It provided immediate warmth, reminding me, it’s April. Warmth is coming, it’s just a little late this year. With warmth comes rest, and the thought of it brought an almost immediate sense of comfort and contentment.
Why was that? I think because I felt an immediate sense that things were going to be okay.
I should note, it’s not like anything particularly stressful or difficult or out-of-the-ordinary was going on. There wasn’t some impending sense of doom. It was just normal, run-of-the-mill tiredness. It’s the tiredness that comes from feeling like we’ve just been at it too long, like everything depends on us, like we’re responsible for all of the things.
This past week in church we talked about contentment. God wants us to “find enjoyment in all the toil with which one toils under the sun,” but that contentment and enjoyment is directly related to how much we trust God with our future. The teacher of Ecclesiastes was relating it to our finances: how much we enjoy the wealth God has given us will be in direct proportion to how much we trust that it came from Him. It’s true of other areas, as well, especially our daily toil: our contentment, enjoyment, and satisfaction in our daily toil will be in direct proportion to how much we trust him with our future.
That’s the thing about rest: it’s not just a future reality. It’s a present reality, and one that we can only experience when we believe that things really are going to be okay.
Every now and again we need a reminder. The warm sun was my reminder. What’s your reminder?

Some may find it too complicated to avail for an auto insurance policy and most fail to compare car insurance rates, ending in the failure to reap out the financial benefits in finding the best and most affordable auto insurance available for them. You might begin to question who needs an insurance policy and why. The answer is quite simple: you need car insurance because it is mandated to you by law. You are required to take financial responsibility for owning and operating a car in Houston, Pennsylvania. If you are caught driving a vehicle without auto insurance, you will be charged with hefty penalties and you may end up having your license suspended whether you are at fault or not. | 2019-04-19T16:15:45 | http://www.autoquotenow.com/city/houston-auto-insurance-pa.php |

Today August 26, 2016 we bring entrepreneurs around the world exciting news regarding a new measure USCIS plans to implement designed to benefit entrepreneurs of startup companies. USCIS has announced a new proposal that will make it easier for certain foreign entrepreneurs to receive temporary permission to enter the United States, also known as ‘parole,’ for the purpose of starting or scaling their start-up business enterprise in the United States.
The rule has been referred to as the ‘International Entrepreneur Rule’ which will give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to expand discretionary statutory parole status to eligible entrepreneurs of startup companies, who can demonstrate that the startup enterprise they are interested in creating, has a substantial potential to yield rapid growth, and job creation in the United States.
Under the rule, entrepreneurs are eligible to receive an initial stay of up to two-years for the purpose of overseeing and growing the startup enterprise in the United States. At the conclusion of the two-years, the entrepreneur would be required to submit a re-parole request to receive three additional years of parole. A re-parole request would only be granted if the entrepreneur and start up enterprise would continue to provide a significant public benefit to the United States demonstrated by the startup entity’s increases in either capital investment, revenue, or job creation.
This ‘International Entrepreneur Rule’ will be published to the Federal Register, at which time the public will have the opportunity to make comments on the proposed rule 45 days from its date of publication. The proposed rule will not take effect until the final rule is published in the Federal Register stipulating the date of enforcement.

After a 7 month layoff I finally stepped back into the ring. It felt good to shake off the ring rust and even though I came away with the easy KO victory, I still am not 100% satisfied with the fight considering it was a bit of a mismatch.

Some of the more common causes of a toenail turning black are centered on physical trauma. When a toe experiences trauma, either through repetitive motion or a single event, the nailbed can become bruised or blood can begin to pool between the nail and its bed (which is known as a subungual hematoma). Black toenails are frequently experienced by runners who train long distances.
Darkened nails could also be an indication of a fungal infection. In rare cases, the dark coloration is the indication of malignant melanoma. Although this is not common, it can be quite serious, and is a good reason to always have discolored nails evaluated.
Most subungual hematomas do not require much with regard to treatment. However, the condition can cause discomfort, so you may want to have the pool of blood safely drained. We can perform any care you need here at our Richardson, TX foot doctor office. Call Richardson Podiatry Associates at (972) 690-5374 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
What Types of Allergies Affect Your Feet?
Allergic reactions are responses by your body’s immune system to some sort of trigger. Many people are familiar with animal or food allergies, but do not realize that foot allergies exist until they begin to feel the symptoms of this particular problem.
Contact dermatitis of the feet occurs when direct contact is made with substances like detergents, certain fabrics, latex, solvents, or poisonous plants. These irritants can all invoke allergies of the skin and lead to reactions that are uncomfortable or even painful.
Angioedema is a skin disorder resulting in welts that are itchy and possibly painful. This condition is triggered by such substances as animal dander, insect bites, eggs, shellfish, berries, and pollen.
If you live in the Richardson, TX area and have itchy or painful welts on your feet, schedule an appointment with Richardson Podiatry Associates today by calling (972) 690-5374. Come in and let Dr. Gene Reister determine if you have foot allergies and provide the medical attention you need.
How do I Check Spots for Skin Cancer?
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and it can spread quickly, making it imperative to be caught and treated as early as possible. Knowing the warning signs and how to check for skin cancer is your best form of protection.
First, make a point to do a whole body examination at least once a month, more often if your doctor recommends so. If you are unable to look at certain areas, enlist a friend or family member to help. It is not often that people take the time to examine their feet. For this reason, when melanoma is found on feet it is often at an aggressive stage. Keep in mind the ABCDE’s of melanoma: Asymmetry (one half looks different), Borders (irregular or scalloped), Color (has different shades), Diameter (greater than the size of a pencil eraser), and Evolving (the spot looks different or is changing).
If you have any questions or concerns about a spot on your skin, do not wait to seek diagnosis and treatment. Contact Richardson Podiatry Associates to make an appointment with Dr. Gene Reister. You can reach our Richardson, TX, office by calling (972) 690-5374. | 2019-04-22T00:36:01 | http://www.richardsonpodiatrycenter.com/faqs/0-nail-and-skin-care/ |

Volcanologist Dr. Catherine Hickson may not be a household name outside geological circles, but she’s used to limelight, as well as limestone. Cathie’s first major mass media exposure came as a university student when she was a witness to the eruption of Mt. St Helens. As a fully fledged geologist, in 2004, she and her staff fielded inquiries from around the world about subsequent activity at the famed volcano.
Most recently, Cathie was thrust into the spotlight again, as a newly-discovered cave informally named “Sarlacc’s Pit” has made headlines around the world. The vast opening into a mountainside deep in the back country of Wells Gray Provincial Park in BC captured the imagination of people all over the world. Cathie, who did her thesis on Wells Gray, has a long-running association with the park, and was one of the first to learn about it after a helicopter pilot spotted the feature during an annual survey back in April.
“It’s a great story,” says Cathie, “with lots of interesting angles.” The cave may be one of the largest in Canada, with a glacial river running into it. Only accessible in September due to snowmelt, and apparently unknown prior to the recent chance sighting from above, “Sarlacc’s Pit” will take years to properly study—and Cathie is thrilled to be involved.
Cathie visited the cave as part of a Canadian Geographic Flagged Expedition on September 9, but the story didn’t break until November 30, as parks officials contacted local First Nations and worked on a media plan. (Due to concerns about potential illicit visits, the exact location of the cave is not being made public.) The morning after the story first broke in Canadian Geographic—a Saturday—Cathie got the first of what would turn out to be a flurry of phone calls: Global News, CBC radio, CBC TV, CTV, the Canadian Press, and many more. Even the New York Times!
Cathie takes it all in stride. “I’m happy to be an ambassador for geology,” she says. A member of the Explorer’s Club, a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and the president of Geothermal Canada, Cathie is that and much more.
As Adventure Canada clients who have had the pleasure of travelling with her know, Cathie personifies enthusiasm, professionalism, and a passion for the planet. We are thrilled that Cathie has played, and continues to play a pivotal role in Wells-Gray Park, to which she has devoted much of her professional life, and to the advancement of the earth sciences.
Travel with Cathie Hickson on Adventure Canada’s In the Wake of the Vikings voyage from Iceland to Greenland, July 14-25, 2019!
View photos, videos, and 3D spacial imagery of the Wells-Gray cave at Geothermal Canada’s website.
Imagine coming from a small community, in a mostly undeveloped district, of a remote region of an isolated province of a very big country. You wouldn’t feel far away, especially if your homeland was rich and beautiful, culturally vibrant and blessed with a unique history and heritage. But it might just take a while for the rest of the world to know your story.
That’s what life must be like for the inhabitants of Nunatsiavut—the self-governing territory of the Labrador Inuit. As Nunatsiavut celebrates its tenth anniversary, many Canadians remain completely unaware of the word, or the region it defines. This is a pity, because Nunatsiavut is both a proud Inuit homeland, and a unique Canadian story.
Ten years ago, when the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement went into effect, binding the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Government of Canada, it culminated decades of work and struggle for recognition by the Inuit of Labrador, who have dwelled in Nunatsiavut (“Our beautiful land”) for centuries.
The agreement, among other things, establishes the Inuit right “to make their own laws relating to cultural affairs, education and health”. It covers 72,520 square kilometres of land, of which more than 15,000 are owned outright by the Inuit. The agreement also established Torngat Mountains National Park, one of the most beautiful natural wilderness areas in Canada, or anywhere.
Adventure Canada has been a proud supporter of Nunatsiavut since before the Agreement was ratified. Our expedition cruises to the region are an important cultural and economic contribution to Nunatsiavut, and we proudly employ Inuit from the region as culturalists, bear guides and boat drivers. Visits to centres like Hopedale (the seat of government) and Nain (the administrative centre) and to important historic sites like Hebron and Ramah help create markets for local goods, and foster among our passengers a sense of the wonder and importance of Nunatsiavut.
Please join all of us at Adventure Canada in celebrating this important milestone. Nunatsiavut, you’ve only just begun!
Visit Nunatsiavut on Adventure Canada’s Greenland and Wild Labrador voyage, June 29-July 11, 2016. Book before December 18, 2015 and save up to 30% on available berths!

– Miramax have acquired U.S. distribution rights to “I, Tonya” by Steven Rogers, the incredible true life story of controversial figure skater Tonya Harding with Margot Robbie starring as Harding and Craig Gillespie directing.
The edgy comedy will be produced by Bryan Unkeless for Clubhouse Pictures, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley for LuckyChap Entertainment and Steven Rogers, who also wrote the screenplay. Len Blavatnik and Aviv Giladi will executive produce for AI Film, which is financing the project. Rosanne Korenberg will oversee the project for Miramax.
– Open Road Films has acquired all U.S. rights to “The Promise” starring Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon and Academy Award-winner Christian Bale, directed by Academy Award-winner Terry George (Hotel Rwanda). Open Road Films plans for an April 28, 2017 wide release for the film.
Produced by Eric Esrailian, Mike Medavoy, and William Horberg, the film had its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.
Per the film’s official synopsis: “It is 1914. As the Great War looms, the vast Ottoman Empire is crumbling. Constantinople, the once vibrant, multicultural capital on the shores of the Bosphorus, is about to be consumed by chaos. Michael Boghosian (Oscar Isaac), arrives in the cosmopolitan hub as a medical student determined to bring modern medicine back to Siroun, his ancestral village in Southern Turkey where Turkish Muslims and Armenian Christians have lived side by side for centuries.
– Kino Lorber has announced the acquisition of all rights to “Keep Quiet,” the acclaimed documentary by Joseph Martin and Sam Blair focused on Hungarian politician Csanad Szegedi, a man who helped found the far-right, anti-Semitic nationalist party Jobbik, only to subsequently discover his own Jewish heritage. The will open the film on February 10, 2017 at New York’s Lincoln Plaza Cinemas, followed by a Los Angeles commercial run starting March 3, 2017, at select Laemmle Theaters. A national expansion will follow together with key Jewish Film Festival screenings throughout the country.
Per the film’s official synopsis: “Csanad Szegedi’s story is astonishing. As vice-president of Jobbik, Hungary’s far-right extremist party, Szegedi fervently espoused anti-Semitic rhetoric and was a vocal supporter of the Holocaust denial movement. Then came a revelation: after lengthy and soul-searching conversations with his mother and grandmother, Szegedi learned of their (and his own) Jewish identity. Suddenly, the very religion he had despised for over three decades had become an undeniable part of his life.

Ten years ago, when I worked with STC’s leaders to update our strategic plan, we talked a lot about telling our powerful story. I don’t think we ever really succeeded at doing that, but it was — and still is — a good idea. We’re gifted in the art of telling stories, and we have a good one to tell. I hope the new CEO will bring some marketing savvy to add to the gifts we have.
While STC relies on its CEO to provide overall direction and management, and on its office staff to execute day-to-day operations, STC’s backbone has always been its volunteer members — from the board of directors to Society-level workers to individual chapters and SIGs. While STC already has a good infrastructure in place for nurturing and training volunteers, I hope the new CEO will help us become better at finding new volunteers and then keeping them energized.
STC recently relaunched its Certified Professional Technical Communicator program. Anyone who’s been involved in running such a program will tell you that there’s a long incubation period in which it gains the acceptance of practitioners and employers. STC’s program is taking its first baby steps. I hope the new CEO will nurture it and bring it to maturity.
STC continutes to rely on membership dues and the Summit conference for most of its income, while striving to make both the dues and the conference affordable. That produces a squeeze: there’s isn’t much money to cover operating expenses, let alone to launch new initiatives and pursue growth. I hope the new CEO will have insights into how associations can tap into other income sources.
STC can have a bright future. Update: Best wishes to Liz in her new role, and thanks to Liz and to Stacey O’Donnell (interim COO) for their work during the transition period.
When you look to the future for STC, what attributes would you like its next CEO to have?
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Larry, as well as your public endorsement of the interim plan. We are also grateful to Chris for his dedicated leadership, but we are looking forward to tackling short-term challenges and serving the STC community at large in these executive roles. | 2019-04-25T18:26:04 | https://larrykunz.wordpress.com/2016/09/24/my-hopes-for-stcs-new-leader/ |
Jesus is unique from other religious leaders due to His unique teachings. What did Jesus teach?
First, Jesus taught there are two possible eternal destinations when we die. Jesus said not everybody goes to Heaven. Some people will go to Heaven, and some people will go to Hell. In Matthew 25:46, Jesus said the unrighteous “will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” You cannot say, “I accept what Jesus said about Heaven, but I am going to ignore what He said about Hell.” That is intellectually dishonest.
Second, even more troubling, Jesus taught that the majority of mankind will spend eternity in Hell. In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus said there are two roads with two gates that open up to two very different destinations. Jesus said, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” People say, “Christianity is too narrow because it says only those who believe in Jesus go to Heaven.” That is right; Jesus said the way to Heaven is narrow. Few are those who enter through it.
Jesus went on to say that many of those on the road to Hell think they are Christians. Jesus continued, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness’” (Matthew 7:21-23). Wouldn’t that be the worst surprise of your life, to awaken in the presence of God after you die only to realize you had been on the wrong road the entire time?
Third, Jesus taught He was the exclusive way to Heaven. Every now and then, people say to me, “Pastor, you are being intolerant when you say that people have to trust in Jesus to be saved.” Whenever people accuse me of that, I explain, “That is not me saying that. That is what the founder of our faith said.” Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” That is Jesus’ claim. There are not many ways to Heaven; there is one way to Heaven, and it is through Him. By the way, Jesus taught that not because He wanted to keep people out of Heaven but because He wanted as many people as possible to come to Heaven. In John 5:24, Jesus said, “He who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” Even sincere followers of other religions are not exempt from this truth. There is only one way for a person to go to Heaven, and it is through faith in Jesus Christ. | 2019-04-22T02:37:09 | https://ptv.org/devotional/jesus-unique-teachings/ |
Will the Universe expand forever, or will it recollapse?
Is the Universe dominated by "dark matter" and if so what is it?
How and when did the first galaxies form? The first clusters of galaxies?
What were the initial seeds from which all the structure in the Universe arose?
Information about these topics is encoded in the Cosmic Microwave Background, thermal radiation from the hot plasma which filled the whole Universe when it was young. Measuring and understanding this radiation will allow us to address these key cosmological questions, and many other astrophysical issues as well.
The early Universe was very hot. For the first several hundred thousand years the Universe was hotter than the surface of the Sun. At those temperatures, electrons do not remain bound to nucleii in neutral atoms. The ionized plasma that they form is opaque, as is the interior of the Sun, and that plasma, like the Sun, was filled with trapped hot radiation. Roughly 300,000 years after the Big Bang the expanding Universe had cooled enough to form neutral hydrogen gas, which is transparent. The radiation which was present at that time has travelled freely through the Universe since then, and we see it today as the Cosmic Microwave Background. By observing this radiation today, we have a view of conditions in the very early Universe - because of the time it takes light to travel large distances, we see astrophysical objects as they were some time ago. For example, we see the Sun as it was eight minutes ago. Most of the Universe is transparent now, and in most directions we look through the recent Universe and see the primordial plasma, roughly 13 billion light years away, as it was almost 13 billion years ago, just after the time of the Big Bang.
There are precise and testable models of cosmology, consistent with General Relativity and with an expanding Universe, which predict how the Cosmic Microwave Background should look. In these models the shapes of large angular temperature variations depend on the precise initial conditions of the Big Bang. These itintial conditions laid down the seed fluctuations which grew to form all the objects we see today. Smaller angular scale variations just under one degree depend, among other things, on the expansion rate (Hubble's constant), the overall density, the density of baryons ("ordinary matter"), the cosmological constant and the characteristics of dark matter (if present). If these models are correct we can infer the values of these quantities with a precision of a few percent from the maps of the Cosmic Background which Planck will produce. This will be a very major step forward in understanding the Universe. If these models are not confirmed the results will be even more exciting!
In addition, Planck will detect the characteristic microwave signatures produced by hot gas in clusters of galaxies, allowing detailed studies of how and when galaxies clustered together. Planck will be sensitive enough to detect all of the clusters in the Universe which are hot enough to produce detectable X-ray flux. In addition an all-sky survey of bright galaxies at long wavelengths will be produced. Planck will also provide an incredible bank of data for investigating "foreground" material in our own galaxy, through the production of all-sky images of unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity at nine frequencies from 30 to 875 GHz. On top of that polarization of the sky will also be measured, providing additional cosmological information, and aiding in the understanding of galactic signals.
Planck consists of a passively cooled 1.5m gregorian telescope with exceptional rejection of stray light and diffracted contributions, coupled to actively cooled HEMT and bolometer based radiometers. In order to perform such delicate measurements, the mission must be run much more like an experiment than like a classical observatory. The telescope will spin at a constant rate, observing the brightness distribution on a large circle simultaneously in all channels. This circle traces out the whole sky each six months as the earth orbits the Sun. Stable operating conditions are crucial, and no dedicated pointing at specific objects in the sky is contemplated. A huge data analysis effort is required to turn this stream of data into useful maps of the sky with gain and pointing variations and foreground sources removed. Scientists participate in this mission by helping to design and build the instrument and by involvement in the overall analysis tasks, rather than via the conventional avenue of applying for observing time.
The top left hand image shows data from the COBE satellite (launched in 1989). Below that is a simulation of what a higher resolution experiment, such as Planck, might show. In both cases diffuse emission from the galactic plane is evident as a stripe across the equator. However, most of the variance away from the equator is due to intrinsic anisotropy of the Cosmic Background. The resolution of the lower map is too high to be apparent on the printed page. To illustrate the increase in resolution, the right hand pictures show maps of a part of Eastern Canada, one at COBE's resolution, and one at Planck's. The COBE resolution is sufficient to show the size and location of continents, whereas the Planck resolution and sensitivity would allow us to study individual mountains and measure the size and shape of river valleys. The expansion rate and overall curvature of the Universe, the total density, and the nature of the first clusters of galaxies to form are all features which can only be studied at high resolution. | 2019-04-21T21:13:18 | http://www.casca.ca/lrp/vol2/firstplanck/planck.html |

Our Top 5 reasons why September is an excellent time to visit the South of France.
Do you need a holiday after the summer holidays? September is a brilliant time to visit the South of France, Summer is coming to a close and Autumn is thinking about showing its colours.
Here are our top 5 reasons to come to Languedoc (or Occitanie as it is now officially known), Cote D’Azur or Provence in September.
1- Fewer crowds, the majority of the local French people have gone back to work & the French Tourists have gone home, Le Rentrée as it is fondly known. Less people means it is easier to get a table in the best restaurants, less traffic on the roads and easier to park!
2- The Weather, with average temperatures of around 25 degrees, perfect for an early morning hike, a lazy afternoon on the beach, or a day out and about sight-seeing. The evenings are very pleasant with some stunning sunsets, you may need a jacket if you are sitting outdoors.
3- The Wine, Harvest time “Les vendanges” will be in full flow. It is truly spectacular to see how the grapes are picked, processed, stored and then bottled! The wine-makers will be busy, so wine-tasting may need to be prior arranged. Watch out for the cute little tractors setting off together in the mornings, almost like a grand prix in slow motion!
4- Value for money, many of our French holiday villas have excellent prices in September and the larger ones offer discounts for smaller groups. Flights and Ferry crossings are also much cheaper, giving you more to spend whilst in the South of France!
5- Beaches, the Mediterranean is still warm following the high summer temperatures, many of the private beach bars are still open, no need to reserve your sunbed in advance! There will be plenty of space to spread your wings, and pre-school age children and babies can happily play without the intense heat.
So if you fancy a trip to the South of France, let us plan your holiday the way you would plan your own! We are proud to be human and love to chat to our clients.
Contact us for all our special offers for Autumn 2016 and Spring 2017. | 2019-04-26T12:53:54 | http://blog.southfrancevillas.com/2016/08/september-in-south-of-france.html |

With a hand-wound humbucker and a fretless bridge, this unique signature model must be seen to be believed.
This beautiful bass guitar is Mike Sabre’s Dominique Di Piazza Signature Model. Built entirely by hand to the French virtuoso’s personal specifications, it’s an exceptional instrument. While the name may not immediately ring a bell, bass fans are sure to have heard Di Piazza’s playing at one time or another. The Lyon-born bassist made a massive impact when he appeared on jazz guitarist John McLaughlin’s classic 1991 trio album Que Alegria alongside Indian percussion maestro Trilok Gurt, and has been a huge influence on a new generation of players that include Matthew Garrison, Hadrien Feraud and countless others. His signature model features a hand-wired Hepcat humbucker and a chambered body that’s made using a combination of mahogany, maple and rosewood. The fretless bridge is based on the principle of the Indian sitar with precisely carved wooden saddles that allow each string to vibrate freely over a ‘culminant point’, which creates a fantastic swelling resonance when using vibrato. This very special bass also comes fitted with a maple finger ramp, Schaller BML tuners, a maple neck and a two-octave pau ferro fretboard. | 2019-04-23T05:01:23 | http://www.ibassmag.com/mike-sabre-dominique-di-piazza-signature-model/ |
The use of unfamiliar words and phrases can sometimes be overwhelming, this glossary of terms helps explain some of the most commonly used ones.
Refers to the ease of use or participation by a person with a physical disability and is commonly applied to both physical and social contexts. For example physical as well as social barriers can prevent a person with a disability from equal and dignified access to facilities and educational opportunities.
A person who represents and speaks on behalf of the person with a disability and/or a special educational need.
A practice carried out by or on behalf of an individual or group, which tries to redress the imbalance of power in society. Advocacy is a powerful tool that individuals with disabilities can use to participate fully in society.
Self-advocacy is where a person speaks up for his or her rights.
Family Advocacy is where a family member advocates for a person with a disability.
This is equipment which supports and enhances the lives of people with physical disabilities, in many cases making fundamental activities such as communication and mobility possible. As with technology in general, assistive technology is changing rapidly and having a significant positive impact on the quality of life for people with disabilities.
The evaluation of the developmental status and intervention needs of a child/family.
The Assessment Officer is employed by the HSE and is the first point of contact for the person with a disability (or the parent of a child with a disability) who makes an application for an Independent Assessment of Need under Section 9 of the Disability Act 2005. The Assessment Officer determines the scope of assessment required for the person concerned and arranges with the appropriate professionals to have it carried out.
Cerebral palsy is a physical condition affecting the part of the brain which controls movement and posture. This is why people with cerebral palsy cannot control their muscles very well, they may move jerkily or hold themselves awkwardly.
Cerebral palsy can be caused by a number of things such as an illness during pregnancy or a lack of oxygen as a result of complications during birth or as a result of a serious accident or illness after birth. The degree of severity ranges widely. Some people are only mildly affected, taking only a little longer than others to sit up and walk etc. People with a moderate degree of cerebral palsy may require a wheelchair or walking aid for mobility. Some people are affected very severely and can do very little for themselves physically.
Therapy and special aids can help someone with cerebral palsy to control the movement of their muscles and maximise their ability to move.
More important than therapy however, is empowering people with cerebral palsy to lead independent lives. This means viewing cerebral palsy not so much as a medical question but rather as a social question.
‘Thinking skills’ which underlie a person ability to perceive, attend to and learn from the environment. Cognitive ability, eg problem solving, attention span, memory, is required to learn skills in all areas.
A consultation is a one-off assessment of a child requested by a third party (therapist, technician or other) with a specific objective of receiving an opinion or advice, or using external expertise which will benefit the service user. A formal report is completed after the consultation and given to the referrer and or child/parent/guardian as appropriate. Ongoing intervention is not part of the consultation process but further intervention may be arranged where is it a recommended outcome resulting from the consultation. For example, a referral for a consultation with the Postural Management Service in Dublin by Kerry Children’s Services.
Disability, in relation to a person, means a substantial restriction in the capacity of the person to carry out a profession, business or occupation in the State, or to participate in social or cultural life in the State by reason of an enduring physical, sensory, mental health or intellectual impairment.
Persons with a disability entitled to services in Part 2 of the Disability Act 2005 are those with a “substantial restriction” which is permanent or likely to be permanent, results in significant difficulty in communication, learning or mobility or in significantly disordered cognitive processes and requires that services be provided continually to the person whether or not a child, or, if the person is a child, that services be provided in early life to ameliorate the disability.
Intervention undertaken to influence the development and learning of young children (birth to six years) with or at risk of developing disabilities (Collum 2002).
Services provided to a child up to the age when they start primary school.
A method of service delivery that: recognises parents as the experts on their child’s needs; promotes partnership between parents and the service providers; and supports the family’s role in decision-making about services for their child.
Relates to the use of the small muscles of the body such as those in the face, hands, feet, fingers and toes.
Relates to the use of the large muscles of the body such as those in the legs, arms, and abdomen.
In the context of service delivery, a holistic approach is one focused on the service user’s total life needs and priorities. Responses are planned in an integrated way, with the aim of helping to enhance the person’s whole quality of life.
A form of therapy where the effects of immersion in warm water and the physiological effects of exercise can be combined to benefit the person.
The individual service plan is a written document prepared by an interdisciplinary team describing the individual needs of a person and the goals of the services to be provided.
This model of team working provides a formal structure for interaction and communication among team members and encourages them to share information. Each team member is responsible for developing the goals relating to their professional discipline as well as contributing to the joint service plan. Parents and family members are usually part of the team.
The team is comprised of professionals from several disciplines. Evaluation can be a mixture of joint and individual assessment. The members collaborate with each other to interpret their findings and design intervention programmes.
An identified and agreed person who will be your main point of contact.
This refers to the complete integration of people with disabilities into the social fabric of their local community. This includes integration in the areas of education and employment as well as in the community's social and cultural life.
Relating to the ability to move a part of or the entire body.
This model refers to a team or collaborative process where members of different disciplines assess or treat service users independently and then share the information with each other.
A specifically designed environment which enables a child with special needs to enjoy a wide range of sensory experiences (vision, sound, touch, smell and taste) for therapy, learning, relaxation and fun.
The amount of tension in a muscle. It is important for movement and posture. Disturbances in muscle tone can be either hypertonia, hypotonia or dystonia.
Muscular dystrophy is marked by a weakening and degeneration of muscle fibre. It is genetic. Although the nerve connections to the fibre remain unimpaired, the muscle is replaced by fatty tissue. Muscular dystrophy is recognised in the first few years of life by weakness and difficulty in getting up from the floor. The diagnosis is confirmed with findings of very elevated muscle enzymes in a blood sample taken by a doctor. The rate of dystrophy varies from person to person.
An orthosis is a device which is prescribed either to provide support, correct or prevent deformity, or to offer protection to a body part. It may act on one or more joints, depending on the function required.
Relates to knowing the position of your body in space; judging the distance between objects or between yourself and an object; being able to differentiate between the right and left sides of your body; knowing where to fit a piece into a puzzle.
Person-centredness is defined as seeking to put the person first. A person-centred service is one which is provided, organised and designed around what is important to the service users from his/her own perspective. Person-centred services direct effective supports to facilitate these individual choices.
The management of a person’s posture at all times and in all environments. Where traditional approaches tended to focus on treatment and active exercise, Postural Management focuses on positioning in lying, sitting and standing.
Children aged 0-18 years referred for consideration of access to services, screening assessment, Independent Assessment of Need and possible admission to Enable Ireland children’s service. For more information on referral visit the information bank.
A child, adult, parent, guardian or family member who receives services from Enable Ireland.
This holds that it is society that disables people with impairments by the way in which it is organised and by the conventions and priorities it displays. The social view or model of disability argues that disability is a direct consequence of people’s attitudes and the way things are organised.
With spina bifida a portion of the spinal cord and its membrane are exposed due to incomplete development of the spine. The severity of spina bifida varies - babies with spina bifida may be paralysed from the waist down. Spina bifida is often associated with hydrocephalus which is a build up of excess fluid in the head. | 2019-04-23T07:53:00 | https://www.enableireland.ie/resources/glossary |

I was looking for a cute costume to make for Ikkicon because I had some extra time off during Christmas week, and happened across this awesome artwork piece of Sheryl Nome by mangaka Carnelian. It's of Sheryl as an adorable pirate girl and I just fell in love with the design of the outfit. I happened to have very similar over the knee lace up boots, as well as 2 yards of deep purple Madonna velvet and black leather on hand, so I went on to make this costume.
I started out by serging strips of magenta organza together, then hand ruffling the lengths and making a multi-layer ruffle skirt with them. I used the same organza to make the top and scalloped edged ruffle sleeves. I adorned the top and skirt with sequin trim because I thought it would be very Sheryl lol.
The captain's coat was fun and annoying to make. In hindsight I used three of the most difficult to work with fabrics on one garment, what was I thinking? The coat is velvet lined with two-tone taffeta, with all the black leather trim home made and carefully sewn on. I modified a pattern heavily and drafted parts of the coat on myself. It is reinforced with an extra layer of material inside, and boning.
The gold buttons have anchors on them which I thought was cute. I then made the ascot and garter belt, and covered a $5 Halloween felt pirate hat in black pleather left over from another costume. I also happened to have a nice beaded gold trim and purple and lavender feathers to embellish it with. The heart was kind of last minute put together and I may redo it in the near future.
I did find some time to finally make Sheryl's microphone out of a mishmash of materials. Figuring out the braiding was interesting lol.
All in all, the costume came together in about 3 days of work and I am pretty happy with it! The colors are so cute together and I love my pirate hat! | 2019-04-19T17:12:01 | http://52b11473aad555.81683589.yayahan.com/portfolio/costumes/pirate-sheryl-macross-frontier |

(JACKSONVILLE, FL; July 2, 2012) – Crowley Maritime Corporation’s logistics group has been recognized as a 2012 Great Supply Chain Partner by a major logistics industry trade publication. The recognition followed a six-month online poll in which supply chain professionals were asked to nominate vendors and service providers whose solutions have made a significant impact on their company’s efficiency, customer service and overall supply chain performance.
Crowley has continued its recent evolution towards a one-stop shop for logistics services with significant geographic expansion in the Caribbean to include Puerto Rico and 24 other Caribbean destinations, but it doesn’t stop there. The company also has the ability to provide documentation, cargo insurance, cargo clearances and transshipments from the Far East and Europe, and continues expanding its other service trade lanes including, the U.S., Central America and portions of South America, such as Colombia and Surinam. With a single point of accountability and contact, customers enjoy the experience and knowledge of Crowley along with company run and maintained equipment, vessels and a sprawling distribution center network.
This is the tenth year SupplyChainBrain has surveyed its readership and announced its list of Great Supply Chain Partners. | 2019-04-20T12:45:16 | http://www.crowleyfresh.com/news-and-media/press-releases/crowleys-logistics-group-named-a-2012-great-supply-chain-partner/ |
President Clayton S. Rose heralded a new era in environmental learning and teaching on Thursday, October 11, at the official opening of the Roux Center for the Environment. Two years and eight months after the project was announced and seventeen months after construction work began, Bowdoin now has its own dedicated facility for the study of all issues related to the environment.
Built to the highest standards of “green” architecture (LEED Platinum certification), the Center was funded by a lead gift of $10 million from David and Barbara Roux P’14. It brings together faculty and students from across the College’s curriculum, fostering collaboration and creativity in the teaching and study of the environment.
To celebrate the opening of the Center, an academic symposium was held in Kresge Auditorium earlier that afternoon, titled “Understanding Our Environmental Future: Science, Policy, and Art.” The event featured a diverse set of speakers, including a panel of alumni experts. Read more about the symposium.
The day was rounded off with a keynote address by environmental advocate and filmmaker Philippe Cousteau, grandson of the legendary Jacques Cousteau. His talk, “Our Oceans: Our Future,” highlighted the extent to which the health of the world’s oceans is declining due to climate change. Not enough action is being taken, he warned, insisting that environmental advocates need to place more emphasis on the human consequences of climate change, rather than the effects it has on animals and the natural world.
“We, as storytellers and communicators, as scientists and policy-makers, I believe, need to do a better job of talking about humans and less about polar bears,” said Cousteau, who added that he does love and value polar bears (a good thing to say at Bowdoin College!) “They are critical to the ecosystem,” he said. “But polar bears, as a poster child of climate change, are not working,” he told the crowd, and the message needs to change. | 2019-04-19T10:36:06 | http://community.bowdoin.edu/news/2018/10/let-the-problem-solving-begin-roux-center-is-officially-open/ |
Even if you aren’t a fan of Harley-Davidson’s range of cruisers, you can’t fail to be impressed by the V-Rod. When this muscle cruiser arrived in 2001, powered by a water-cooled engine no less, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Early V-Rod models arrived in a stunning brushed aluminium finish which when combined with the solid wheels and twin stacked pipes made the bike look amazing. These are still (arguably) the best looking of all the V-Rod’s many incarnations and with the V-Rod now discontinued from Harley’s range, you have to be thinking of early generations as potential future investments.

Start the Traeger on smoke with lid open 4-5 minutes. Set grill to HIGH and preheat with lid closed for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare artichokes by cutting in half lengthwise. In a small dish, combine garlic and oil, brush over artichoke halves and drizzle with lemon juice and a dash of salt.
Put artichokes directly on the grill grate, flat side down for 40-60 minutes.
Once artichokes are soft, remove and lower temp to 350. Set artichokes aside and allow to cool.
Remove artichoke leaves and scoop out fuzzy core with a spoon. Cut remaining artichoke hearts into small pieces.
Heat butter in a fry pan over medium heat. Saute onions until soft, add spinach and cook to wilted. Add cream cheese, cream, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring until melted. Stir in artichoke hearts until combined and heated through, about 5 mins, remove from heat. Fold in cheeses and stir to combine. Place mixture in oven safe dishes (like our favorite Lodge cast iron individual rounds).
Place baking dishes on grill and warm, lid closed until all cheese has melted. Stir once and top with additional sprinkling of Parmesan & Paprika. Continue cooking another 30 minutes or until top is golden. Serve hot with crackers, chips or flat bread triangles.
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10-15 minutes.
Clean the mushrooms and remove the stem, set aside caps. Allow the cream cheese to soften. Mix cream cheese with rub and cracked pepper, to taste. Once incorporated, stir in shredded cheese and onions. Wrap bacon around the mushroom and secure with a toothpick. Fill the cap with the cream cheese mixture. Bake the mushrooms (uncovered) until the filling is bubbling and just beginning to brown, about 30-45 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the grill and allow to cool slightly before serving.
One of my favorite holiday memories from my childhood is baking pies the night before Thanksgiving. I would “help” my mom in the kitchen, staying up later than normal to finish baking the delicious pies for the feast the next day.
There was always a bit of pie dough leftover, and my mom would cut it up into triangles, shake cinnamon sugar over the top, and bake them up for delicious treat before bed. Piecrust cookies became my favorite part of the pie-baking ritual.
For this dessert shop recipe, we took piecrust cookies a few steps further to make them even more special and delicious, elevating them into much more than a leftover treat - these are tasty enough to take center stage! Especially when served with a pumpkin cream cheese frosting dip.
In a food processor, measure the flour, salt and sugar. Cut the butter into cubes and add to flour.
Pulse only enough to create a crumb mixture.
Slowly add cold water until the mixture begins to stick together when pressed between your fingers.
You can either cover half the rolled out dough and fold the remaining half over, or apply a second sheet of rolled dough to cover the first.
Roll a second time to press the two sheets together to reveal the ingredients inside and reach desired thickness.
Use festive cutters to cut cookie shapes from the dough, or shape for hand pies or to fit your pie plate, depending on desired use for crust.
Take it to a whole new level by leaving out the optional sugar, adding fresh herbs and using this crust for left-over Turkey & Stuffing hand pies with gravy dip - or as the crust for a next-day turkey pot pie!
Cookie Press Butter Cookies are a classic at Holiday time, and now with OXO's Fall Disc Collection, they can be made and shared as early as Halloween! Because this dough holds its shape so well through the baking process, Miss Beth suggests adding decorations before baking so that sprinkles and sparkle sugars stick even when packaged. Also, remember to use just a baking sheet without any spray, grease or silicone baking mat so that the pressed cookies will stick slightly to the surface and release from the plate of the press with clean lines and distinct pattern. This chart from OXO shows the finished product created by each disc in the collection.
fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, continuously beating.
3. Gradually add flour, beating until well incorporated.
4. Place dough in cookie press with desired disk. Press dough out onto an ungreased baking sheet.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown on the edges.
Rotate baking sheet halfway through baking time.
Making yogurt at home is an exciting process and allows you to use only the ingredients you want. And now that the Cuisipro yogurt maker is collapsible for easy storage, the excuse of bulky equipment is out the kitchen window! Once you realize how simple it can be to make your own yogurt, especially the part about using the batch you've made to start another, you can virtually be making it everyday! With all that delicious dairy around, here's a simple recipe that makes a cool, refreshing dessert of your creation, and once again, you get to decide what goes in, so you can make them as sweet or tart as you like, with whatever berries you find in season. Imagine a Hatcher's Pass Blueberry version, or one full of your bumper crop of backyard raspberries - either way they'll make a special, healthy treat to share on the porch in the Midnight Sun!
With a strawberry huller, remove stems and wash berries. Reserve one cup of the largest berries to cut into thick slices, tip to base. With the small bowl in place, puree the other 2 cups of berries in a food processor with one tablespoon of honey until smooth.
Stir up yogurt and remaining tablespoon honey to get a smooth, pourable thickness (if your yogurt is more set, you may need to add a bit of milk to reach a good texture). Place one or two slices of strawberry in each popsicle basin, pressing to edge. Fill basins 3/4 full with yogurt mixture and top off with pureed berries, or alternate for varied pops - even layers for stripes! Cover and insert sticks. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours or overnight.
Prepare a straight sided baking pan with parchment strips that extend up and over the sides of the pan and secure with bulldog clips. Spray with Vegalene baking spray; set aside.
Combine all ingredients, except vanilla and emulsion, in heavy 4-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes or until butter is melted and mixture comes to a boil.
Remove pan from heat; quickly stir in vanilla and Red Velvet emulsion. Pour into prepared pan without scraping the bottom as caramel can scorch. Cool completely, preferably overnight.
Once caramel is cooled, lift from pan and use a bench scraper, also sprayed with Vegalene, to cut into even cubes.
The cubes should hold their shape at room temperature to be ready for dipping.
Melt Callebaut white chocolate in the small double boiler insert over boiling water. Remove from water and stir until smooth.
Using the chocolate dipping tools, dip each square to coat and set on a silpat lined baking sheet or parchment.
Before chocolate sets, apply holly berry and snowflake sprinkles to each chocolate along with light sprinklings of Pure Alaska Sea Salt pyramids and/ or edible glitter. Molded chocolate shapes like pine cones or snowflakes also make nice toppings as well as adding other chocolate flavors to the finished candy.
Once cooled, remove from silpat and package using chocolate paper cups and gift boxes.
While chocolate is still warm, you can set the caramel on a chocolate transfer sheet. Once it cools the pattern will peel off the sheet with the chocolate, leaving a lovely design on the surface it contacts.
Using clean cotton gloves to handle finished chocolates keeps them fingerprint free.
With the help of the digital candy thermometer, and Hazel, our favorite (adorable) nut grinder, a little bit of edible glitter, this toffee was incredibly easy and oh-so-pretty.
One essential tool to the success of the toffe is a candy thermometer to insure that the toffee has that perfect, melt-in-your mouth crunch, without breaking your teeth!
We scored our toffee while it was still malleable, which made for a more even break so that we could vary our toppings without crossover.
The bench scraper was the ideal tool for the task, and we also used it to chop up the toffee into giftable pieces.
The AK Pure Sitka Flake Sea Salt pyramids were a delicious - an dazzling - addition to one of our toffee flavors.
And for the finishing touch - cellophane bags and baker’s twine make this an easy, elegant, and delicious holiday gift for friends and neighbors... if you can keep yourself from eating it all!
Toasted Flake Coconut, Almonds and AK Pure Sea Salt.
Toasted Hazelnut and Edible Glitter.
Toast the whole hazelnuts on a baking sheet until just browned. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Use Hazel Nut Grinder to chop. Repeat with almonds.
Line a second baking sheet with a silpat mat.
In a sauce pan cook the butter, sugar, water and salt over medium heat until the temperature reaches 305 degrees- or hard crack stage- on your digital candy thermometer. Stir occasionally and when the mixture turns golden brown, immediately remove the pan from heat.
Quickly stir in the vanilla extract and pour the mixture onto the silpat lined baking sheet, beginning in the center and working lengthwise, allowing it to spread evenly to edges.
Cool at room temperature for 45 minutes.
Temper chocolate in a double boiler. We love this little one because it keeps the chocolate surface area down and with the clip and handle, it sits on any pot.
Spread the chocolate over the cooled toffee and sprinkle with nuts and or other toppings, pressing lightly to set the bits into chocolate layer.
Let cool for an additional hour, or until the chocolate is set.
Break toffee into pieces and wrap to share.
As a fruity alternative to your daily pumpkin-spiced hot beverage, a nice warm sip of fresh juiced apple cider takes the chill off of any autumn day- especially with a pair of donut holes for dunking!
And before we get to that, we wanted to clear up a common question about the difference between apple juice and apple cider. It turns out that apple cider is essentially unfiltered apple juice- hence the opaque appearance versus the clear apple juice you can buy at the store that has been both filtered and pasteurized to extend shelf life. So, if we're being technical, if you're juicing apples, your getting apple cider - which can be served cold or warmed with spices.
For our cider, we used our Omega Vert slow juicer (which presses the juice from the apples using an auger and screen process) and a collection of our favorite apple varieties including crisp greens and sweet reds. This can be made up to 24 hours prior to serving if stored in the fridge in a covered vessel.
Now donut holes are usually just the bite size bonus you get when cutting the center from a traditional raised donut, but using a portion scoop and chilled quick dough gives you a nice sized ball that is just as easily eaten in one or two dunkable bites. We wanted to make sure we had enough to share, so we doubled the batch and used a smaller scoop, and believe me, there were more than plenty to go around! They do puff up a bit in the fryer, so depending on the size you want, plan for some expansion.
If you don't have a fryer, you can use a pan on the stove top, or you could just bite the bullet and get one of these!
This particular T-fal fryer is our favorite because it's so easy to clean. Once the oil has cooled you just drain it out the bottom into the reservoir and all the sediment stays in the basin where it can be wiped out. Also, the basket and element are removable so that if need be- you can really scrub the unit for storage.
In a medium bowl, stir together dry ingredients less the sugar. Set aside. In the bowl of a KitchenAid Mixer, cream sugar & butter until smooth. Add egg and beat until incorporated. Reduce speed and stir in buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla just until combined. Gradually add dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms - do not over mix! Cover batter and refrigerate 1 hour until firm.
Heat T-fal fryer to 350 degrees.
Using a medium to small portion scoop, carefully drop batter into oil. Do not overcrowd. Allow balls to fry about 1 min or until dough begins to brown, roll each one over to equally brown other side.
Carefully remove finished balls from oil with a spider and place on a paper towel lined plate for excess oil to drain off. Put cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and toss to combine. Add warm donut holes and roll to coat.
Skewer 2-3 donut holes and use to garnish fresh juiced apple cider.
Warm in a small pan on the cooktop to just below a boil with a cinnamon stick and whole cloves.
Fall is here - in fact, it's almost gone. It's getting cooler outside and the desire to 'treat' ourselves to something warm and delicious is palpable. It's time for baking sweets, for passing along treasured recipes and for trying new ones. Time to turn on the oven and share something special, something made by you in your own kitchen. It's time for what we call our Dessert Shop Demos and we've officially kicked off this treat season with our first Dessert Shop recipe: Cinnamon Pumpkin Pull Apart Bunt.
Because it's now mid-October, we feel compelled to start eating all things pumpkin, so we swapped the traditional filling of our favorite cinnamon roll recipe for Petersen's Family Pantry Pumpkin Butter sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Then to make the presentation extra special - something you'd want to bring to your holiday table to share with guests - we opted to bake it in a bundt topped with rich melty cream cheese frosting. The result is a stunning loaf that could be casually pulled apart and dunked in a frosting pool, or delicately sliced and served as an after dinner companion to warm cider or hot cocoa. Anyway you decide to share it, it's an ooey-gooey treat that is definitely worth trying!
Proof yeast with 1 1/2 C warm water and 1 tsp sugar.
In the bowl of your KitchenAid mixer with dough hook attached, stir together egg, oil, honey and salt.
Stir in yeast mixture. Slowly add flour, one cup at a time until all is incorporated and dough forms a ball in the bowl.
Let rise, covered, until double in size (about 1 hour).
Roll dough into a rectangular shape.
Spread pumpkin butter evenly over the dough.
Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the pumpkin butter.
Roll lengthwise, cut into one inch sections and arrange in a well greased bundt pan. We used Nordic Ware's Anniversary Pan which has plenty of room and just enough shape for the dough to fill into as it rises.
Let raise untill double in size (about 30-45 minutes). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
1 8 oz block cream cheese, room temp.
Cream butter and cream cheese together. Add powdered sugar and beat for 12 minutes. Add liquid flavors and beat for another 1-2 minutes. Spread over warm bundt and serve on a cake plate.
You'll notice two different loaves pictured here, one from our Anchorage Store, (where we used extra brown sugar) and the second from our Wasilla Store, which rose quite a bit fuller and lent itself to an easier 'pull apart' than the first that we chose to serve sliced, revealing the lovely layers of pumpkin and cinnamon marbeling. We love being able to see those delicious swirls!
Join us each Friday through Christmas for another sweet recipe from the 'Dessert Shop'.
No Churn Ice Cream. Tested: Approved!
I am a huge proponent of ice cream makers. Homemade ice cream is the absolute best! Here’s the trouble: what if you don’t have an ice cream maker, or maybe don’t have room in your freezer for one? Well, if you’re on Pinterest, you’ve probably seen oodles of pins boasting “no churn” style ice cream, which seems to magically appear in beautiful loaf pans.
We got sucked in, and decided to see what the hype was about. Well, it turns out that not only is no-churn ice cream delicious, it’s easy, and honestly does feel a little like magic.
I looked at several different recipes, and all of them had the same base: two cups of heavy cream and one 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. That was it.
From there, you can add pretty much anything you want. Knowing the cloyingly sweet taste of sweetened condensed milk, I was highly skeptical how the finished product would taste. But we had to try it!
First, we split the condensed milk evenly into three small bowls.
Next, we whipped the cream until it made stiff peaks, using the KitchenAid Artisan mixer. While the cream was whipping, we mixed a pinch of salt into each bowl.
Once the cream was whipped up, we divvied it out evenly into the three condensed milk mixtures, and folded them gently together, starting with one small dollop to break up the thickness of the condensed milk mixture, adding more until they were mixed with a uniform color and consistancy.
After that, we just poured each flavor into a mini loaf pan, covered the tops with parchment paper, and put them in the freezer. We waited overnight to try them, but they should be frozen hard enough after 4-6 hours.
For the chocolate ice cream, we decided to whip our cream in the Vitamix! It was fun and quick to use the blender, which made short work of the cream.
For the condensed milk mixture, we added a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of vanilla, and half a cup of dark cocoa powder.
Once the cream was ready, we did the same technique as before, folding the two mixtures together, placing in a chilled loaf pan, covering with parchment, and letting it hard freeze. Easy, right?
The next day, we tried the finished product, and we were not disappointed!
The ice cream froze nicely, and had a delightfully creamy texture, and scooped perfectly into our cones.
Blueberry AK Pure Sea Salt makes a decadent topping to any scoop, like our salted caramel or even the dark chocolate.
Try it at home, with any one of our delicious Monin syrup flavors for easy ice cream, with or without the ice cream maker. | 2019-04-20T09:11:16 | http://apcooks.com/category/recipes/ |

In January, Professor Elizabeth Roberts (Anthropology, IRWG Affiliate Faculty) and her research team began fieldwork in Mexico City. The fieldwork is part of her “Neighborhood Environments as Socio-Techno-bio Systems: Water Quality, Public Trust, and Health in Mexico City (NESTSMX),” an NSF-funded four-year collaborative interdisciplinary project that brings together expertise from anthropology, environmental engineering, and environmental health from the University of Michigan and the Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública in Mexico to examine how neighborhood and household water insecurity contribute to social, gendered, environmental, and health inequalities in Mexico City.
The NESTSMX research involves ethnographic and environmental engineering fieldwork with families, especially mothers and grandmothers, focused on the infrastructures and social structures that move water in and out of neighborhoods, households, and bodies. The NESTSMX research team is now conducting “water audits” in sixty households in fifteen different neighborhoods throughout the city. The audits include household water quality sampling, installation of real time water sensors and collecting participants biological samples.
All of this data is complemented with in-depth ethnographic interviews with families about their access to and use of water, including the water trust or distrust, water insecurity, household water storage capacity and water contamination The team will combine this data with bio-marker data gathered from these same families over the last 25 years through the environmental health project called ELEMENT. The combination of all this data will allow the NESTSMX team to ask multidisciplinary questions about how water insecurity affects health and to gain a better understanding of what it would take to restore trust in tap water for drinking.
So far, the NESTSMX team has found that intermittent water supply is one of the biggest issues facing many households in working class neighborhoods throughout the city. This issue disproportionately affects women who need to manage their household water supply so that other household members can get to work and school both bathed and fed.
Sometimes women in charge of this domestic management have to get up in the middle of night when the water arrives and they often forego bathing so others can have enough water to leave the house. They are also responsible for making sure the household doesn’t run out of water and for deciding which water related activities they forego if there is no water coming in. For instance: don't mop, don't wash clothes, do cook, do boil water, do use disposable plates and cups.
The NESTSMX water audits in the 60 households will allow the research team to develop a research instrument for application to all 800 ELEMENT families that will provide more detailed knowledge about how water insecurity affects health in megacities today, especially for women.

Recent cyber claims reported by CAMICO policyholders generally fall into “bad news” and “good news” categories. Where your firm lands will depend a lot on how prepared it is for a data security incident and its aftermath.
Many professionals (CPAs included) don’t believe that a data breach or cyber-attack will happen to them. Some firms regard themselves as being too small to attract hackers, resulting in the firm being unprepared for a cyber incident. A hacker or ransomware attack can put the firm at the mercy of someone whose top priority is stealing or extorting money; or, the firm may suffer unnecessarily prolonged setbacks and expense once an event occurs. As cyber-fraudsters become more sophisticated and formidable in their attacks, firms need to be more prepared.
In an increasingly connected world, cyber issues are becoming common for all organizations, including CPA firms. The number of confirmed data breaches across all organizations has been climbing. The Identity Theft Resource Center reported 781 U.S. data breaches in 2015 after a record-setting 783 breaches in 2014. These figures are up from 421 breaches in 2011. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report tracks breaches each year in 82 countries. There were 1,367 in 2013; 2,100 in 2014; and 3,141 in 2015 — a 230 percent increase in two years. This increase in frequency also has an impact on how organizations should respond to breaches.
CAMICO continuously studies its claims experience, including recent claims stemming from cyber risk exposures. The following summarizes the major types of cyber claims being reported, the red flags that often precede them, and loss prevention tips.
Recent large claims have carried substantial third-party exposure, ranging from $250,000 to $900,000. The claims generally involve CPA firms with authority over client funds in order to provide business management or bill-paying services, including wire transfers for high net worth clients.
A fraudulent email request for a wire transfer will arrive and may resemble prior legitimate requests for transfers. The transfers are often made to a bank in a foreign country or through a U.S. bank to a foreign bank. When the fraud is discovered after the transfer, the funds are usually not recoverable. Domestic banks are not always helpful in preventing fraudulent transfers, as laws tend to limit their risk exposures and enable them to deny responsibility.
CPA and client email accounts are sometimes commandeered by a hacker who inserts a link or an extra step into an email message, asking for a password to be entered or changed, thereby enabling the hacker to take control over email messages. If the hacker has control over both the CPA’s and the client’s email accounts, it can be difficult to figure out that communications are being manipulated.
A phishing scheme may also appear to be from a legitimate source, only to trick the user into performing an action such as clicking a link or opening a document, enabling malware to be installed, or allowing a hacker to access email and to send messages perpetrating a scheme. Hackers can also divert legitimate messages from being sent. Services that convert voicemail messages into email messages can also be commandeered by hackers to perpetrate schemes.
Phishing schemes may also target information such as W-2 forms in order to access employee Social Security numbers or credit card information. (See War Story 107 in this issue of IMPACT.) The information can then be sold or used in attacks against the employees’ own personal computers, credit card, and other accounts.
Avoid getting lulled into a sense of comfort with email and other communications. Be suspicious if asked to do anything out of the ordinary or routine. A fake email address can be disguised as a legitimate email address by being off by one character (e.g., “businesware.com” vs. “businessware.com”). By hovering your mouse over a link, without clicking it, you can check the website address. If the address is for a different website, that’s a red flag, as is a misspelled link.
Messages may contain broken English inconsistent with language used by the client. A new bank account receiving the funds is often a red flag, especially if the new account is in another country.
Beware of any wire transfer requests made via email and proceed with the wire only after verbally confirming with the client that they want the wire to proceed and in accordance with the directions in the email. This includes, but is not limited to, confirming the dollar amounts, the name of the financial institution, and the actual bank account number. Call senders to verify email or attachments before you open them. Another way to verify transfers is to confirm information that only the client would know and a hacker would not. Consider using both methods to confirm the authenticity of the request.
Firms of all sizes continue to be plagued by ransomware, which enters computer systems via a clicked hyperlink or attachment, or a typed password. Ransomware encrypts all files and demands the payment of ransom to decrypt the files. A major problem is that paying the ransom is no guarantee that the cybercriminal will actually decrypt the files.
Ransom demands range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, depending on the perceived ability of the victim to pay. Some attacks rely on software that now has known fixes, so a solution might be found online. Other ransomware are technically advanced and have no known fixes, other than the victim retrieving and relying on the latest backup files.
Ransomware may enter a computer system via innocuous-looking MS Word, Excel and PDF documents attached to an email, so any attachments or hyperlinks within the attachments should be not be opened or clicked if the documents were not specifically sought by you. Instructions to “enable macros” or “enable content” should not be followed. Unusual requests for passwords are also suspect.
Attacks may appear to come from someone familiar or a trusted source as part of a social engineering scheme. Scheduled events, travel plans, or user interests can be used to create what looks like a legitimate document, employing logos and brands to deceive users into opening a document, or clicking a link.
Institute a policy to frequently backup files you cannot afford to lose. Some ransomware even seeks out backup copies of files, so creating multiple backups in different locations is a good practice. Cloud services, or remote backup services, and external or USB hard drives are options to consider for multiple backups. Use encryption to protect any sensitive information about your firm and clients. Backups are extremely valuable after extreme events such as a fires, flood or other disasters.
If personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security numbers is involved in a breach, the firm may need a professional risk assessment to determine its legal reporting responsibilities.
Losses are better avoided by creating user awareness and training everyone in the firm to be cautious about unsolicited or questionable attachments, hyperlinks or requests.
Disgruntled employees have long been a source of embezzlement and other fraud-related claims. Employees who hold grudges against their employers—whether or not justified—are more likely to commit occupational fraud and abuse, so it’s not surprising that employees with computer expertise have committed cybercrimes against their employers.
Cases have involved employees programming illegitimate access for themselves into employer computer systems, exporting confidential information in order to threaten their employers in attempts to preserve their jobs or extort money. The results are usually discovered by forensic analyses.
Background checks may reveal unfavorable issues about potential employees. If so, speak with a risk management adviser about your options.
Strictly defined user permissions and restrictions so that users have only the program and system rights and access they need—the “least privilege” concept. The same applies to administrators, who should be logged in as an administrator only as long as is necessary. Excessive rights and activities can also allow fraudsters and malware to cause greater harm and losses.
Access to personnel and vendor master file records should be password protected and restricted by job function.
Log administrators and other users out of the system when the system is inactive.
Computer systems should create an audit trail of all changes made to the vendor master file records, including an identification of those who made the changes.
Changes to vendor master file records should require supporting documentation, supervisory approval, and independent review.
Have a cyber-security expert (consultant or staff coordinator) test your computer and data security systems and evaluate their effectiveness in preventing a breach. A cyber expert will also help secure client/personal information stored with the firm or in the cloud, and while in transit inbound and outbound. In the event of an incident, the expert should be able to work with insurance and breach response services providers providing legal guidance, forensics, notification, data restoration, and other services.
Have an incident response plan in place that responds quickly and professionally to an incident. If the response includes the notification of clients and other affected parties, these parties will be interested in identity theft assistance and credit monitoring. If they don’t receive a quick and professional response, prolonged anxiety can provoke negative sentiment about the firm and damage its reputation.
establish checklists and action items.
Provide regular staff training to enhance awareness of potential threats. Training can make all the difference between the success or failure of fraud schemes. Some experts recommend adding a data breach simulation to the training schedule at least once per year. Others will test awareness by “inoculation” in which all users are sent benign phishing e-mail. Those who err are then educated on how to avoid the errors.
Consider cyber insurance that includes risk and legal advisory services. An insurance policy by itself will not protect the firm as well as a policy that includes comprehensive risk management and response services.

By Paul Comments Off on How Much Bandwidth Does a Website Need?
If you are considering launching a website for your organization or church, you have probably heard the term bandwidth. You may be wondering what it is and how much bandwidth does a website need in order to run well. If so, you need to check out this helpful video by Paul Steinbrueck, co-founder and CEO of OurChurch.Com. In this video Paul will explain what bandwidth is, and if you need “unlimited” bandwidth.
Bandwidth is the amount of data that is transferred over a period of time, usually a month. If you think of your cell phone package, you likely are granted so many minutes per month. It is a similar concept for web hosting. Your web host will allow you so much bandwidth in a given month. Keep in mind the type of data on your site will affect how much bandwidth you use. Things like pictures and videos will require more bandwidth than text. Also the amount of traffic coming to your site will affect how much bandwidth you need for your site.
Do I need “unlimited” bandwidth?
“Unlimited” bandwidth is a marketing ploy used by some companies. They want you to think they are offering “unlimited” bandwidth, when really they just aren’t telling you what the limit is, because they assume you won’t reach it. At OurChurch.Com we want to be upfront with you on the bandwidth limits. If you would find that your site is gaining popularity and garnering a lot of traffic, you can always bump up to a higher bandwidth package.
If you are a church, school, business or Christian ministry and have questions about Christian web design and web hosting or you are looking for a new web host, we’d love to partner with you. Our mission is to help you achieve your mission and goals online!

Our Save Our Forests campaign is creating a national sensation! We’ve got the media’s attention, and we can see politicians getting nervous. Now we need to ratchet this campaign up another gear, and show the government the pressure will keep on rising until they drop their plans to sell off our precious woodlands.
So far the government has tried to respond by bringing in the spin doctors and launching a “consultation”. They’re claiming that they love the forests too and there’s nothing to worry about. They’re asking for views on how our forests should be sold off – when they already know most of us don’t want them sold at all. Meanwhile they’re quietly removing legal protections for our public woodland, paving the way for privatisation. What sort of a consultation is that?
If they want to know what we think, here it is: 38 Degrees members have already funded a national survey confirming that 84% of the public think our public forests should be protected for future generations. Our enormous petition of nearly 250,000 signatures – almost three times the capacity of Wembley Stadium – proves that people care enough to speak out. Now we need to get our message where the government can’t ignore it.
The government seems to be trying to respond to our campaign with media spin. So let’s give them a media moment they won’t soon forget:”Save Our Forests” adverts, splashed across the newspapers next week.
Imagine the impact as David Cameron opens his newspapers to see our “Save Our Forests” message: full-page adverts backed by nearly a quarter of a million signatures, in newspapers read by millions of voters.
People power can save our forests. We’ve got our campaign in the headlines, on TV and radio. Posters have sprung up in woodlands across the country. Local ‘Save our Woods’ groups are popping up everywhere. Tens of thousands of us have written to our MPs. Now let’s get together to get our message all over the national newspapers – just where the government won’t want to see it! | 2019-04-24T22:25:21 | https://philipcarrgomm.wordpress.com/2011/01/27/people-power-can-save-our-forests/ |

I have a web viewer (from Latitude) that under certain circumstances uses POST requests to ArcGIS Enterprise map services. In our prod environment these create empty PNG files in the arcgisoutput map service folders. However, in our test environment they create correct PNG images. Of course I am going to do a reinstallation on a separate machine, but does anyone have a clue as to what might be causing this?
I am using ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5.1. Of course I have been comparing both environments, but I haven't been able to find any difference so far.
Further down is Example: ExportMapImage. That describes each step of the export map process so you can see if features aren't being returned correctly or some other issue that is causing the output to be blank.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for your message.
I did all that, but the verbose loggings for the working environment and the environment that's not working are exactly the same.
Just included the logging for the environment that's not working correctly, reformatted to xml.
Weird. What happens if you were to add the feature layer to the map, so it issues query requests instead of exportMap requests?
I finally managed to figure this out.
The cause turns out to be a nasty bug in ArcGIS Desktop. When you create an sd-file in ArcGIS Desktop, and you set one or more advanced parameters (or just open the Advanced parameter window and press OK), the SD-file registers the SupportedImageReturnTypes as MIME only.
What also makes me wonder is that when you don't do this, the SupportedImageReturnTypes is set to URL. Shouldn't it be the default, which as far as I know is "", meaning both MIME and URL will be available? | 2019-04-20T09:16:05 | https://community.esri.com/thread/215358-post-request-creates-empty-png-image |
5. The End of Art?
To the despair of artists and intellectuals, the positive and uplifting worldview fostered through Modernism has become corrupt and oppressive. Riddled with doubt about the continued viability of the notion of progress, the façade of modernism has begun to crack, and conservative forces that have long been opposed to modernism have rushed, wedge–like, into the interstices to fill and expand the space with their own worldview.
In the United States, modernism, in a form identified as ‘secular humanism,’ has been attacked by the so–called ‘religious right’ whose conservative ideology has seriously undermined the very constitutional foundations of the whole American modernist experiment. Fundamentalism in nearly all of the world’s major organized religions — Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism — has risen sharply in recent years in direct opposition to modernism.
Many Christian fundamentalists still agree with the protestant reformer Martin Luther who believed that ‘reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but — more frequently than not — struggles against the Divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.’ (Colloquia Mensalia, ‘On Baptism,’ paragraph CCCLIII).
Modernism’s displacement of the Church, monarchy, and aristocracy from positions of power and privilege continues to be deeply resented among conservatives. Each of these institutions, and especially the Church, persist in resisting the demands of modernism while supporters seek ways to reestablish its former status and role in society.
Fifty years later, in the encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis, ‘on the doctrine of the modernist,’ issued in 1907, Pope Pius X condemned as heretical the writings of modernist thinkers and teachers who sought to ‘reform’ and ‘modernize’ the Church, and condemned attempts to find a way to reconcile the conservative authority of the Church on the one hand with the liberty of believers on the other. It rejected the modernist belief that such matters of dogma, worship, the sacredness of sacred books, even faith itself and the Church as a whole have been subject to evolution and that the Church should now adapt itself to prevailing historical conditions and harmonize itself with existing forms of society.
There is every indication that the current pope, Benedict XVI, would like to return the Roman Catholic Church to pre–modern times. Similarly, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, in their conservative, ‘fundamental’ forms, are likewise unsupportive of the concepts of ‘liberty’ or ‘equality’ in either a social or a political sense, and actively discriminate on the basis of class, gender, race, and unbelievers.
Often under the influences of religion, conservative forces in national governments around the world have undermined and corrupted the ideals of modernism, transforming notions of freedom, equality, human rights, and democracy into self–serving excuses for invasion, subjugation, conversion, and exploitation.
To the dismay of progressive intellectuals, the ideology of modernism has also become the means by which the values and worldview of the West have been promoted and imposed around the world either through imperial colonialism and economic globalization, or through the ‘conditionalities’ attached to loans granted by the International Monetary Fund, and policies serving Western interests that are forced on developing countries by the World Bank.
With proselytizing zeal, local cultures, customs, economies, and ways of life in Third World and developing countries have been swept aside in the name of ‘modernization’ the benefits of which have been measured primarily in Western terms. Modernism has been the West’s most effective and influential export and in fact has been willingly embraced by many non–Western cultures for commercial, economic, or political reasons, or as a demonstration of support of Western ideals.
It has also been taken up by those wishing to use the ideology of modernism to challenge indigenous tastes and authority–structures, but all are ultimately complicit thereby in the West’s modernist agenda that seeks to establish modernism as a universal norm to which all should aspire. The long–held belief that the adoption of the principles and processes of modernism always improves the human condition, however, has become increasingly difficult to sustain in all cases.
Many now believe that the period defined by the modernist doctrine has come to an end and that we are now in a period of transition into a new period called, for lack of a better term, postmodernism.
The term postmodernism is used in a confusing variety of ways. For some it means anti–modern, while for others it means the revision of modernist premises. The seemingly anti–modern stance involves a basic rejection of the tenets of modernism, such as belief in the supremacy of reason, the notion of truth, and the idea that it is possible through the application of reason and truth to create a better society.
As doubts emerged about the efficacy of the means and goals of modernism, there arose in response various philosophical approaches that offered useful and timely tools of critical analysis, the best known of which is called Deconstruction.
Applied to the question of modernism, deconstruction examines the assumptions that sustain the modernist worldview through what appears to be an anti–modernist worldview. It ‘deconstructs’ the tenets and values of modernism by taking apart or ‘unpacking’ the modernist worldview in order to reveal its constituent parts.
Uncovered and subjected to analysis, fundamental modernist ideas such as ‘liberty’ and ‘equality’ are shown to be not ‘true’ or ‘natural’ to human nature but are, in fact, intellectual ideals that have no basis in the reality of the human condition.
Questions are then raised about who constructed these intellectual ideals and what were their motives. Who does modernism serve? When considered in a global context, it should be clear from the history outlined in this essay that modernism serves Western social and political aspirations.
Although deconstructionist thinkers, in keeping with the philosophy itself, refrain, in order to avoid the presumptions of modernism, from proposing a corrective to modernism’s failings, deconstruction’s critique of modernism has offered alternatives that have been employed by some to describe the features of postmodernism.
As an anti–modernist movement, therefore, postmodernism is seen as rejecting those elements that comprise the modernist worldview, including the ideas of truth, self, meaning, and purpose. In this respect, deconstructive postmodernism is seen by some as nihilistic.
In contrast to the anti–modern position, an alternative understanding seeks to revise Modernism’s premises and traditional concepts, which have become institutionalized, corrupt, and entrenched.
In support of the core values of modernism — liberty, equality, rights, the pursuit of happiness — the aim is to challenge the logic of the oppressive modernist state and undermine the legitimacy of prevailing conservative forces. Sometimes termed constructive postmodernism, it seeks to provide a new unity of scientific, ethical, aesthetic, and religious intuitions.
It rejects not science and religion as such, but only those scientific approaches and religious practices in which only prescribed data and beliefs are permitted to contribute to the construction of our worldview.
Constructive postmodernism seeks to recover truths and values from various forms of pre–modern thought and practice. This is necessary because the pursuit of modernism, especially in its unfettered capitalistic and consumerist manifestations, is not sustainable and threatens the very survival of human life on the planet.
Aspects of constructive postmodernism will appear similar to what is also called ‘New Age’ thinking. The possibility that mankind is standing on the threshold of a new age — the Age of Aquarius, which is currently replacing the 2,000–year–old Age of Pisces (according to calculations based upon of the precession of the equinoxes) — informs the more ‘spiritual’ side of postmodernist thought.
The postmodern is deliberately elusive as a concept, due in part to its willingness to accept, in contrast to modernism, uncertainty and ambiguity. Whereas Modernism was concerned with reasoned progress and logical conclusions, postmodernism respects ‘process’ and ‘becoming,’ preferring openness, transparency, and the unbounded.
The post–modern artist is ‘reflexive’ in that he or she is self–aware and consciously involved in a process of thinking about his or her cultural self in history, in demasking his or her own pretensions, and promoting processes of self–consciousness.
But, in this period of transition when a massive and unpredictable sea–change appears to be occurring in cultures around the world, it is impossible to predict the future. There is no way of knowing whether postmodernism will assume a nihilistic, potentially anarchic, anti–modernist form, or become a desirable variant of modernism with a spiritually heightened and self–conscious awareness and sensitivity to cultural, ethnic, and human conditions and experiences. It may be neither.
In my opinion, the time has perhaps come at last to engage the other half of the human race, the women of the world. Modernism’s most regrettable flaw is that it is predominantly a male construction, an intellectual doctrine formulated and sustained by well–intentioned men. Despite its promises of liberty and equality, its most glaring failure is the continued subordination of women in the world today. Long ignored and neglected by ancient and oppressive patriarchal systems, it is now time for the world to adjust to and be guided by women.

The public Cheap Newcastle Jerseys pays a great deal of attention to the rankings, and will give a team much more respect if it Baseball Jerseys Wholesale has been voted somewhere into the top 25. Martinez obviously played a major role in Arizona’s surge last year. Wright also showed a sheer determination for getting to the rim that is too often lacking. If we were to convert a -285 moneyline into an expected win rate, it would be 75 percent.

NFL Jerseys 2017 A funny thing happened, however, between when Lamborghini tested the SVJs on the track and we journo types showed up. The probable starters are Steven Wright for NFL Jerseys 2017 the Red Sox and Edinson Volquez for the Royals. Butler was sent to Philadelphia in a package that brought Robert Covington and Dario Saric, two promising players who’ve fit relatively well in the rotation. Marshall – We will find out if the Thundering Herd used their bye week to get over their heartbreaking overtime loss at Virginia Tech or if the extra time off just let that game linger in their minds. He’s made 1 saves for a save percentage of 91%. They are 6th in the Metropolitan Division.

Julius Randle scored 19 Cheap MLB Jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys points, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 16 for Los Angeles, which has lost seven of nine. When things go wrong, fans want someone to blame.
Anthony Brown saved the game by tracking Cody Latimer across the field and — just at the right moment — getting his off-hand in the way to preserve the victory.
Those guys have done a really nice job handling the situation throughout. The good news is the injury happened early enough in the 2017 season that it’s not believed to have threatened NFL Jerseys Wholesale much of his 2018 campaign. In 212 big-league starts, he went 67 with a 4 ERA and seven complete games. Oakland is 2 Wholesale NFL Jerseys in Kazmir’s past seven series-opening starts.

This decorative plant is very well-known by people who are used to walk on the Apennines meadows, during the period of August-September it shows its beautiful silvery flowers. It is possible to pick up its still closed small blossoms, and after having taken away the stronger bracts, they can be eaten like artichokes.
The blossoms of this plant can be boiled, and then dressed with oil and lemon, or can be fried, or cooked in omelette or used to prepare a good risotto, which enhances the bitter flavour of this vegetable. The root of the plant, if macerated in white wine, can produce a good aperitif - tonic. | 2019-04-22T17:32:23 | http://www.terraditoscana.com/default.aspx?lpg=natura_erbe&obj=carlinaacaucalis |

Knotted Cotton: Quilted and bound!
A rainy day - no gardening and the Siblings Together quilt is quilted - sew, lift foot, turn, heave, bundle, turn, drop foot, sew etc, etc!
I have never quilted a real quilt before - I found it very (very) hard. At one point I had most of the quilt held under my chin while I used both hands to guide it - good thing only the cat was here to see. My machine, which is quite basic, coped admirably except that I had to unpick one quilting line which ran round the whole quilt as the tension had gone horribly wrong. I don't know why - I changed the bobbin and it was okay after that. Not only is it quilted but the fabric for binding arrived from Utah yesterday and it is actually bound.
I machine bound it using this tutorial where you stitch the binding to the back, flip it over to the front and stitch again. I really want to jump up and down shouting how marvellous this method is - no hand sewing, no trying to stitch in the ditch and catch the binding at the back without being able to see it.
I'd like to post a pic of the whole quilt, but I'd better wash it first and make sure it doesn't fall apart. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
I've also quilted the Backstitch Klona Swatch Card mini quilt with wavy lines; much easier than the other one! I don't mind the fact that it's bumpy and irregular and I love it just for the colours. If I get round to it any time soon, I think I will bind it with natural linen. The fabrics are in the same order as the swatch card, so I can still use it for colour reference.
I can just picture you with all that quilt under your chin, very funny! Congratulations on a fabulous finish, it is a real undertaking to machine quilt a quilt that size, which is why I have been putting off doing mine for months! | 2019-04-18T22:44:42 | http://www.knottedcotton.com/2012/05/quilted-and-bound.html |
Scientists at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science discovered the large submarine landslides on the slopes of the Great Bahama Bank hold the capability of generating tsunamis and have already done so in the past.
The experts have studied the slopes of the western Great Bahama Bank using multibeam bathymetry and seismic reflection. The collected data revealed margin collapses and several kilometers long submarine landslides, the mass of which is capable of sinking up to 20 km (12 miles) into the basin and triggering the tsunamis.
“Our study calls attention to the possibility that submarine landslides can trigger tsunami waves. The short distance from the slope failures to the coastlines of Florida and Cuba makes potential tsunamis low probability but high-impact events that could be dangerous,” said Jara Schnyder, a PhD student at the UM Rosenstiel and the lead author of the study.
The study showed an incipient failure scar, almost 100 km (70 miles) long could produce a future landslide which may be induced by occasional earthquakes, occurring off the coast of Cuba.
To estimate the potential for tsunami development, the scientists performed a simulation of tsunami waves for different possible submarine landslides that could happen off the Great Bahama Bank. According to simulation results, such landslides and margin collapses could, indeed, trigger dangerous currents in the ocean and even a several meter high tsunami along the east coast of Florida and northern Cuba.
“Residents in these areas should be aware that tsunamis do not necessarily have to be created by large earthquakes, but can also be generated by submarine landslides that can be triggered by smaller earthquakes,” emphasized Gregor Eberli, a UM Rosenstiel School Professor of Marine Geosciences and a senior author of the study.
If yhere have been landslides based on the scarred terrain you report, why have we not experienced or documented tsunamis in South Florida, the Florida Keys nor the Cay Sal Banks which are in the wave's pathway? | 2019-04-22T14:41:33 | https://watchers.news/2016/12/15/florida-cuba-tsunami-risk-study/ |
The town-owned property at 22 South Park is unique. Located immediately after the “Welcome to Easton” sign at the southeastern entrance to Town, it is a magnificent pastoral field bordered on 3 sides by the Mill River, which according to the Mill River Improvement Project, is one of only nine brown trout breeding streams in Connecticut.
Currently, the town owes $4.9 million dollars on the property, which costs each household approx. $120 per year on average – approximately .7% of a $43 million annual budget. And this is for a 20 year term only, after which the property costs us nothing.
The town owns very few parcels of land, and keeping this parcel for future generations is comparatively very cheap. After all, once developed, it is gone forever. So why sell it? Certainly, the economics do not make sense. | 2019-04-24T04:22:34 | https://citizensforeaston.org/2015/05/02/why-sell-southpark/ |

I am definitely pleased to see this little gem given a new lease of life! Still have my original one! Great little stove. And the workhorse of many a brew up in my local Territorial Army Queens Infantry Rifles days in the nineties.
Shame we all have to wait till next year though!
If you have your original no need to wait though, because you've already got it. Unless you particularly need to save whole grammes you might as well stick with what you have.
Lots of good copies of this classic stove out there too as well I should add I suppose.
Get an Alpkit Kraku. Save Pounds and grammes.
Yeah, the Kraku's fantastic unless you're cooking with a big pot, when the short pot stabilisers become a bit of a problem. They also don't work particularly well with big pots with heat exchangers.
Lovely to see you posting on here again, Mr Fuller. Liking that blog!
I am probably being just a little mite bit pedantic here, on the bit above there, about this stove still putting out the therms; but surely a therm is an actual proper specific heat measurement, of which surely this stove would find it hard work putting out one therm alone let alone multiple therms in reality? I could be wrong but think ages ago on here on a stove thread, cp told us what a therm was exactly. And it was much more than any of my stoves were capable of putting out heat wise. That bit I actually definitely recall I am sure.

Today you'll pick the game Counter strike as there will not be same Half -Life sport selections as possible use. Now you should give your host for what type of machine it's or a name that discovers it.
Just thought I would link in this thread to the newer review of this stove from Jon last month on here. Definitely still a great outdoors stove, and one of my personal all time favourites taboot. Adventures in Stoving also recently covered the new 2017 version of the stove, at link there too below if anyone else is interested maybe.

Has anyone noticed that iTunes, when in shuffle mode, tends to play lots of Crash Test Dummies?
Absolutely. But it always picked the (many) bad albums, so I had to delete most of them and just keep the good ones: The Ghosts That Haunt Me, God Shuffled His Feet, and A Worm’s Life.
I’d be amazed if anyone had ever heard of anything by them other than Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm and Afternoons and Coffeespoons. But one person actually played Moonbase Commander. So I guess it’s possible.
But I’m probably the only person on Earth who is a fan of both Moonbase Commander and A Worm’s Life. | 2019-04-21T04:46:41 | https://marco.org/2007/09/05/jakob-has-anyone-noticed-that-itunes-when-in |

This pretty much sums up my own personal sense of duty to make an impact. I have been so incredibly, undeservedly fortunate throughout my life. To squander all of that opportunity without using my gifts to make this planet and its people a bit better off, would feel, in some sense, tragic.
At the same time, I’ve learned the hard way that … martyrdom and misery are poor formulas for sustaining an effort (and they tend not to be great magnets for attracting the efforts of others).
Do great, important work, with people you love, and have a darned good time doing it.
Thanks to Heather Warnken for the share. | 2019-04-21T00:54:42 | http://matthewschutte.com/2015/04/16/a-sense-of-duty/ |
Cisco Systems has issued a patch for a security flaw in one of its Linksys routers that could give hackers access to consumers' home networks.
Alan Rateliff II, an independent security consultant, on Friday said he discovered a vulnerability in the Linksys WRTS54G 802.11g wireless router. The flaw gives hackers a free pass into the Web-based configuration page of the router when the firewall function is turned off.
When Rateliff originally tested the devices in March, he discovered that this vulnerability existed on two Linksys routers straight from the store. The default configuration on the products he tested used version 2.02.7 of the firmware, and they enabled access to the configuration page via ports 80 and 443.
When he tested new Linksys routers, using both firmware versions 2.02.7 and 2.02.2 earlier this week, he did not find the same flaw on routers that use the standard configuration settings. But he noticed that when the firewall is turned off on the devices, ports 80 and 443 are still open, allowing the configuration page to be easily accessed.
Allowing easy access to configuration settings on a router is a security risk. Hackers could change settings of the router to launch spam and virus attacks, without the victim ever realizing what is going on. Attackers could also gain access to devices attached to the router, such as laptops and PCs. With an open door into the network, attackers could target unprotected individual machines and infect them with worms and viruses.
"It's like giving a hacker a key to a locked door," Rateliff said. "There's no telling what he will do once he's inside. The scenarios are only limited by what we can imagine."
Rateliff added that broadband users on large national Internet service providers, such as America Online, could be the most vulnerable, because hackers tend to scan these DSL (digital subscriber line) and cable modem connections, looking for vulnerable targets.
"The larger the network, the larger the exposure to hackers," he said.
For the most part, this problem exists only when the firewall function is turned off. Considering that most people concerned about security would keep the firewall turned on, this may not be such a big threat. But Rateliff warned that people should check to make sure that their settings are correct when they install the Linksys routers.
"You just have to be careful," he said. "There's no telling if someone else has changed the settings and then returned the product to the store. When you get it home, you have no way to know that the firewall has been turned off and that you're now exposed to this other problem."
The Linksys home networking gear is among the most popular on the consumer market. The brand has more than 20 percent market share in the home and small-business Wi-Fi market, according to Synergy Research.
Cisco posted a beta version of the new firmware on the Linksys Web site on Thursday night. The company said customers using this version of firmware should not experience the problem even when the firewall is turned off. Rateliff said he has not tested the beta version of firmware yet. | 2019-04-25T16:46:59 | http://www.antionline.com/showthread.php?256099-Linksys-Patch-Available-(beta) |

Allison wakes up to a familiar figure seated in the chair beside her hospital bed. She thinks she might be dreaming because it’s been four long years. And if she is being honest with herself, it wouldn’t be the first time Lydia Martin has preoccupied her dreams. “You’re in my city, you know that? It’s inconvenient of you to almost die here,” says Lydia, who is currently focused on a compact mirror and the careful reapplication of blood-red lipstick.
It wasn't necessarily what anyone expected. Except maybe the one person who'd kill to defend it (and may yet).
So maybe Lydia's just as enraptured with the new girl as the rest of the school. And maybe Allison quickly turns into the closest thing she's ever had to a best friend. And maybe she still wants more than that. | 2019-04-23T21:08:12 | https://archiveofourown.org/users/enormity |

A fun and simple idea from Carolyn Sinclair.
Carolyn is disabled with Multiple Sclerosis and over the last 15 years has specialised into the use of computer design for embroidery, the use of embroidery machine software and embroidery machines. She lives in Southampton, regularly exhibits her work, and has undertaken commissions for Coats thread.
Carolyn teaches a series of day courses, with another tutor to assist, at the very comfortable Royal Southern Yacht Club, Hamble, Hampshire, (with beautiful views over the river Hamble to inspire creativity!) These one day courses cover topics including “getting to know your computerised sewing machines”, “using the embroidery bed”, “learning embroidery machine software” and “designing your own designs on the computer. Carolyn enjoys the challenge of teaching and is very fortunate to be strongly supported by all the major sewing machine manufactures, and can therefore teach all makes of sewing machines and sewing machine software.
Carolyn is an experienced tutor in computerised design and computerised sewing machines. Her interest in textile arts started with silk painting where she painted with French dyes and experimented with different silk fibres and fabrics. When Carolyn was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, she started using computerised design programmes to make her life easier. This grew into a passion for pushing the boundaries of embroidery software, using it in unusual ways and being very creative with the software and embroidery machines. | 2019-04-23T18:11:47 | https://justhands-on.tv/product/recycled-lights-with-carolyn-sinclair/ |

Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan are always very careful about not indulging in too much PDA. They do not post cute comments on each others’ pictures on Instagram, share notes of love on Twitter or even exchange sweet messages at public events.
However, the first couple of Bollywood recently had a sweet and hilarious conversation on Instagram on Wednesday, just in time for their 27th wedding anniversary. Gauri, an interior designer by profession, shared a picture of her latest work on her Instagram page. She had designed a stunning space for a brand and even her husband could appreciate the great work.
“When are you designing my office!!!,” Shah Rukh commented on the picture. However, not one to indulge anybody in freebies (even if it is her husband), Gauri gently denied his request. “As soon as I have some free time,” she wrote with a comical face emoji.
Well, this conversation between the most romantic couple of the B-town just made our day and we wish that their bond will go stronger by times. | 2019-04-26T11:41:03 | https://www.gabruu.com/know-why-gauri-said-no-to-shahrukhs-proposal-on-their-wedding-anniversary |

We’re looking for your participation in this year’s Jamestown Fine Arts Association (JFAA) Annual Juried exhibition. This show is in it’s 54th year and it is our hope that we have lots more artists this year. The show has consistently stayed at the same number of submissions for the past several years (50 artists-75 artworks on average). There are many artists who submit every year but we also have a scattering of new faces each year. But I’d like to see even more.
This year’s juror is Jennifer Parker, an artist who has served as director of the Nelson County Arts Council (organizing the Pekin Arts Show) and member of the North Dakota Council on the Arts Board of Directors. For many years, she has exhibited in the JFAA Annual receiving awards in the painting and drawing categories. This year she will be on the other side – selecting the awards.
Many artists decide to participate based on anticipated sales. We appreciate this and will do all we can to attract potential patrons. We do consistently have sales from this exhibition more than any other show. We cannot guarantee sales but we still encourage you to participate. We want our community to see the abundance of terrific art our region has to offer.
Each year we travel to Fargo and Bismarck to transport artwork but there could certainly be additional locations. If you can get your work to the designated spot we’ll move it for you. We wan’t to facilitate the process to make it easy for all artists to join the show!
Here is the link for the registration forms, Registration Forms. The deadline is August 15, 2018. If you are still working on an artwork and don’t have the identification information that’s fine – just indicate that on your form. If you miss the deadline, you are not excluded from participating in the exhibition, just get it in as soon as you can. You can also just email Sally Jeppson the information (you don’t have to use the form). The deadline is necessary to give us a gauge of how many artists to expect.
All entry fees go to support prizes and publicity for the exhibition. We thank the Medicine Shoppe for sponsoring this exhibition.
The dates for the exhibition are September 22 – November 3, 2018 the reception is Saturday, September 22 from 1-3 pm and all artists are encouraged to attend–great food, beverages and conversation is guaranteed. | 2019-04-19T20:37:25 | https://jamestownarts.com/2018/07/calling-all-artists-2/ |
The Chanel AW14 show at Paris Fashion Week was one colourful crowd pleaser. The coats were block primary colours, the tweed was technicolor, the footwear of choice was trainers, and the accessories? Why the accessories were candy darling. Remember the pastel coloured sweet necklaces and bracelets that you used to be able to pick up as part of a pick ‘n mix? Imagine them with with a little less sugar and a little more couture luxury. The models hit the runway sporting the sweetie styled accessories to the delighted gasps of the onlooking audience. (Read up on the show at Paris Fashion Week here).
When Chanel decides to play, things get fun. Some of the necklaces and bracelets were direct copies of the sweet shop staple, with the added jangle of a Chanel logo tag. Others used the sweet shapes and colours to add an AW14 uniqueness to an already popular Chanel design. A thick bangle shape that last season bore crystals and chains, this time round boasted the interlinked Cs of the Chanel logo made up of the pastel coloured sweet beads.

The Abbott - Yun Yang Temple (Australia) Inc.
Venerable Master Ru-Sun has been studying Buddhism since childhood During his adolescence, he practised Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism with his Dharma friends. He also studied both the Ch’an (Zen) and Pureland methods of meditation. He received full ordination and took Bhiksu’s precepts with the 40th Linji Sect patriarch, Ch’an Master Bai Yun. After having completing his studies at Ch’an Master Bai Yun’s Chief Sun Monastery, he travelled to many places to further his studies. On several occasions, Venerable Master Ru-Sun has travelled to Thailand, India and China to learn Dharma and the origins of Buddhism from great Masters.
In 1991, Venerable Master Ru-Sun arrived at the “Whitehorse Mountain”. The quiet environment of the mountain allowed him to practise diligently and to cultivate on his own until he was discovered by the local people. Upon request by local devotees, the White Horse Temple (Today’s Yun Yang Temple in Taiwan) was established in the area. Since then, Venerable Master Ru-Sun has dedicated his life to propagating the teachings of Buddha (The Dharma).
In May, 1992, the Taipei Temple was established near Yin He Cave in Xin Dian, following the request of the disciples from Jing Mei and Xin Dian areas.
In December 1993, upon the invitation of the Melbourne devotees, Venerable Master Ru-Sun came to Australia to propagate the Dharma. In July 1994, some Melbourne devotees purchased a 32-acre land and in April 1995, Yun Yang Temple (Australia) Inc. was established.
In July 1996, the Malaysian devotees invited Venerable Master Ru-Sun to Malaysia. Hence, the Ipoh Temple and the Kuala Lumpur Puchong Temple were established respectively.
In order to help the disciples living in Taipei, Jing Mei, Zhong He and Song Shan, the Tong Guang Temple in Xin Dian, the Miao Zhi Temple in Zhong He and the Guang De Temple in Song Shan were established respectively.

Rangers and representatives from Indigenous organisations around Australia met with the Indigenous Affairs Minister and other politicians in Parliament House to launch a landmark report into the environmental benefits of Indigenous rangers and Indigenous Protected Areas on 30 March.
The report outlines how Indigenous rangers and Indigenous Protected Areas are at the frontline of nature protection across vast areas of Australia, and the urgent need to grow and secure funding for these programs if we are to address threats to our environment from feral animals, dangerous wildfires, invasive weeds and wildlife extinctions.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Nigel Scullion, above with Gur A Baradharaw Kod Torres Strait Sea and Land Council chair Ned David, received the report declaring these were programs "everyone should support." Country Needs People will be working to secure commitments from the government to grow Indigenous ranger and Indigenous Protected Area programs for the long term.
Nick Xenophon Team MP Rebekha Sharkie, here with Nantawarrina Rangers Sophia Wilton and Ian Johnson, hosted the event in Parliament. During her speech, Rebekha said: "These programs consistently achieve extraordinary outcomes. The report being launched today, will outline the environmental outcomes that Indigenous rangers achieved, and Indigenous Protected Areas. There are fascinating case studies in the report about many facets of the rangers' work, including protecting the country from wildfires and eliminating feral animals, such as camels, buffalo, goats, um, and pigs. Saving endangered species such as turtles, parrots, bilbies and eliminating weeds."
Rod Liddle and Jackie Huggins from the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples here talking to Greens Senator Rachel Siewert. Weeks before the launch, The Greens worked with the government to commit $15 million for new Indigenous Protected Areas.
Senator Jacqui Lambie (with Kerry Tim) and Bob Katter MP (with Nanatawarrina Ranger Sophia Wilton) were amongst the independent and crossbench Parliamentarians at the event.
Olkola chief executive officer Deb Symonds (second from right, with Threatened Species Commissioner Gregory Andrews, Olkola operations officer Tish Ross and Luke Hartsuyker MP) spoke at the event saying, "It's vitally important, not only for our corporation, but for all corporations because in the Cape and Australia, we look into what actually means for a ranger to be on country and caring for the country: it's time working on land and making sure that land is protected and revegetating and making sure that the waterways are clear and making sure that everything is working the way it should." | 2019-04-19T14:54:07 | https://www.countryneedspeople.org.au/environmental_benefits_report_launched_in_parliament |
