The Post Construction cleaning service prepares your home for the family after that major renovation or new house construction. You can also call our Long Island cleaning service after a minor remodel, no job is too small. Since the contractors have many possibilities and variations for the construction work that they can do on your home. The plan of attack for the cleaning may also vary for each unique site. We are always happy to accommodate you no matter where you need us to clean.
For a detailed list of other items cleaned during our residential cleaning, please visit our Maintenance Cleaning page.
We realize that in addition to the endless possibilities the post construction cleaning may entail, each customer is unique and may have personal preferences as to the detail involved in the cleaning. We'll never force you into a cookie-cutter mold of a cleaning plan. We're flexible!
Home owners, landlords, property managers, house sharing families and a growing list of construction companies call upon our green cleaning services. We understand post construction cleaning and we are happy to coordinate our services with general contractors to get the job done right and on time.
99% of the time, the house renovations that we clean are vacant inside. The list we have prepared below reflects that fact. Your specific needs and the condition of the job site are the basis of the cleaning we do at your home. For example: the window stickers are sometimes already removed by the contractor. If there is something not on the list that you need done to get your house in the condition you need to move in, please ask.
Have you got a post construction cleaning project?

PHILADELPHIA - Flyers forward Simon Gagne reiterated that he will sit out the rest of the season because of lingering symptoms from a series of concussions, with one caveat: A trip to the Stanley Cup final.
"I'm going in the right direction like I want," he said. "I'm sure I'd like to be 100 per cent right away, but I know it's going to take time. We've got a long period of time in front of me before I start playing again."
Gagne had his first concussion Oct. 24 when he was hit in the jaw by Panthers defenceman Jay Bouwmeester. He sat out four games, then was hurt again Nov. 7 and missed the next 26 games. He was injured again on his first shift in a Feb. 10 loss at Pittsburgh and hasn't played since.
The Flyers are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. | 2019-04-18T12:40:52Z | https://www.nhl.com/news/flyers-forward-simon-gagne-making-progress-in-recovery-from-concussions/c-358207 |

The CPSC suggests installing a fence or other barrier completely around the pool. If the house is part of the barrier, the doors leading from the house to the pool should be protected with an alarm or the pool should have a power safety cover. The fence or other barrier should be at least 4' high, with no foot or handholds that could help a young child to climb it.
Vertical fence slats should be less than 4" apart to prevent a child from squeezing through.
For any pool barrier, the maximum clearance at the bottom of the barrier must not exceed 4" above the grade or 2" above non-solid surfaces such as dirt and grass.
Gates should open out from the pool and should be self-closing and self-latching with the release mechanism 54" or more from the bottom of the gate. Traditional mechanical hinges and latches for gates often fail to close the gate properly. The new generation of hardware, latches that are magnetically triggered and tension adjustable hinges, provide a reliable, self-closing gate. These innovative products have now become the standard in pool gate hardware.
These national guidelines, courtesy of Master Halco, present standards for pool fencing. The law can vary by town, however most have adopted these standards. | 2019-04-25T12:30:13Z | http://ctfence.com/fence_styles/Ornamental_styles/pool_orn.html |
On November 10, the French government lifted its travel advisory for Anjouan, in which it had advised the postponement of nonessential travel to the island following violence that occurred there October 15-22. Calm and security have been restored as of Monday, November 12, and normal travel to the area can resume. However, the French authorities continue to remind travelers to keep abreast of the situation and remain vigilant. Unconfirmed reports also indicate that the nightly curfew put in place on October 15 (running from 20:00 to 06:00) has been lifted.
Clashes between the army and demonstrators denouncing the regime of President Azali Assoumani broke out on October 15. Gunfire was reported October 17-18 in and around the medina area of Mutsamudu; at least three people were killed. Electricity and water outages were also reported in various neighborhoods. The security situation slowly returned to normal on October 21, the day after security forces secured the city center and the medina area from rebel forces following an amnesty deal signed October 19. Rebel forces have since left the city.
The political situation on Anjouan has been volatile in recent months following the arrest of former President Abdallah Sambi (2005-2011) on corruption charges. Sambi is an Anjouan native and a political rival of President Assoumani. Protests centered around successful attempts by Assoumani to extend presidential term limits following a July 2018 referendum, largely boycotted by the opposition, and limit the powers of opposition parties. Assoumani is expected to call for new elections in 2019, paving the way for him to remain in power until 2029. Under the previous electoral system, power rotated between the three main islands; as such, a political figure from Anjouan would have been next in line to the presidency in 2021.

A walking loop with heavy background, I went for a dramatic feel.
Any idea's on how I make it feel..I dunno..more realistic?
It looks really good, I prefer the second one. The only thing I would suggest is making the arms sway just a little big more but I think it would look better when the background starts to move.
i love the knife . it has blood dripping.
It's not that the thumb is on the wrong side, it's just that the definition line wasn't put in. But it looks like it yet never intended.
Thats pretty good, its just hard to see that hes actually walking.
The bobbing is wrong. When you walk you go high as your legs pass each other and low when they're apart. Besides that it was brilliant. Good work.
think of how the scarf would rise and fall in the wind. The wind would pick it up and gravity would make it fall, and as the scarf falls back down, wind begins to hit it again, giving ti that wavy ripple effect. How you have it is the wind apparently pushing it up and down.
Also i know that it's convenient to have object oriented puppeting in flash but it's usually better practice and better for control over the image if you just redraw it. | 2019-04-24T10:24:20Z | http://forums.stickpage.com/archive/index.php/t-32526.html?s=e3d05a71157d4deded9d3a7deca36c2b |
Robotic automation had a big presence at the recent JIMTOF show in Tokyo, Japan. This FANUC M-2000iA shown here manipulating a section of an airplane fuselage is said to be the world's largest six-axis articulated robot. Payload capacity is 5,070 pounds.
...and Makino featured automated guided vehicles (AGVs) topped with collaborative robots. The AGVs facilitate robot redeployment by safely, autonomously transporting them from one piece of equipment to another.
End effectors designed specifically for use with collaborative robots are now being developed. For example, Schunk's Co-act gripper with soft, rubber exterior offers limited gripping force and has no pinch points so as not to cause injury to employees working close by.
Okuma’s Armroid technology is an extreme case of simple robot integration. At JIMTOF, it was shown integrated directly into the work area of a turning center. End effectors stored in the work area can be changed out to provide flexibility to change to new jobs.
Simply inputting a new diameter value enables the FANUC robot tending this Mazak turning center to grip a new workpiece.
A fourth robot capability shops may soon take for granted is easy automation of part measurement. As shown here with this Yaskawa robot, tending a CMM can alleviate a potential quality department bottleneck when many parts machined unattended overnight require inspection the next morning.
Robotics have advanced to the point in which CNC machine shops’ expectations might outnumber questions about practical applications. In fact, many successful shops are already benefiting from machine-tending robots or have researched various robot offerings with an eye toward adding them.
Global robot sales bear out this notion. According to the International Federation of Robotics’ 2018 World Robotics Report, a record number of 381,000 robots were shipped worldwide in 2017, an increase of 30 percent compared to 2016. For 2018, that number is expected to increase by 10 percent to 421,000 robots shipped.
The maturation of manufacturing robots comes at an opportune time for shops both big and small. The lack of skilled labor and difficulty attracting young people to the field make automated machine tending attractive, especially for shops aiming to increase spindle utilization and run lights-out overnight while not staffed. Robots also can help attract prospective new hires interested in more than simply loading and unloading machines all shift long.
Robots were particularly conspicuous at this past November’s Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF), which was the 29th edition of the biennial show organized by the Japan Machine Tool Builders’ Association and took place at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center. Like the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) this past September in Chicago, Illinois, JIMTOF 2018 beat previous records for visitor attendance (more than 153,000 this year) and number of exhibitors (1,085). Industry interest in such trade shows certainly is not waning as manufacturers continue to visit to learn how shopfloor strategies such as automation can increase their businesses’ efficiency and spur growth.
1. Robots should be able to operate safely alongside people.
Manufacturers continue to need conventional robots with safety guarding to prevent people from entering the robots’ work area, especially when applications call for high speed or payload capacity. At JIMTOF, however, there were just as many (if not more) collaborative robots or “cobots” on display.
Cobots use sensor technology to avoid harming people in the same work area. In some cases, sensors are integrated into the robot itself to stop its motion when it unexpectedly contacts an object or person. Other applications use sensors to slow or stop robot motion depending on a person’s proximity to the work area.
When cobots were new to the automation scene, the existing ISO 10218 standards for industrial robot safety requirements (published in 2011) did not adequately address their safe integration into a manufacturing facility. This prompted the automation community to develop the ISO/TS 15066 technical specification. One important aspect of this is that it provides robot integrators and manufacturing personnel guidance about conducting more sophisticated, preliminary risk assessments of both the cobot and the environment it will share with humans.
Another sign that cobot interest is increasing is the development of end effectors designed specifically for them. One example at the show was Schunk’s Co-act gripper, which features a soft cover and lacks sharp corners and pinch points. Gripping force is also less than 140 Newtons (per ISO/TS 15066) to prevent injury.
2. Robots should be able to be redeployed to multiple machines in a facility.
Job and contract shops that machine a high mix of parts in low volumes can benefit from robotic loading just as high-production operations can. Moveable, self-contained loading units with robot and parts collection systems can facilitate this. Once the job is completed on one machine, the unit can be easily moved to another with a pallet jack or forklift. Leveling pads align these units with the machine. Some units work with various machine tool controls, and do not require the machine tool builder to supply a special robot interface. Instead, a programmable logic controller (PLC) is all that is needed to connect the machine and loader.
A few machine tool builders at JIMTOF took this a step further by integrating cobots with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that can move autonomously from machine to machine. The AGVs use sensor technology to safely guide them throughout a facility without bumping into equipment or people as they are redeployed to other equipment.
3. Robots should be easy to integrate.
The example above describes how easy it can be to integrate a robot with a machine tool. However, the extent to which this is the case was demonstrated most clearly at machine tool builder booths with no robots on display at all. The message is not that robots are not important or valuable, but that integration is so easy that machine tool builders do not consider robots to be a necessary part of a booth display.
That said, some machine tools have built-in robotic automation so an integrator is not needed. For example, Murata showcased twin-spindle chucker lathes with integrated gantry loaders. In fact, the company now offers carbon fiber gantry loaders that are said to move 50 percent faster than standard loaders.
In addition, Okuma introduced an LB3000 EX CNC lathe with Armroid, an articulating robot loader mounted in the machine’s work area for part loading/unloading. The robot operating system does not require teach-in during new job setups, and it can perform collision-free movement while machining on a part is being performed. The robot can store three different end effectors and change over as needed according to the application. Like the previous example, integrating the robot into the machine conserves floor space.
The JIMTOF show featured automation beyond robots. The most significant example was automatic data transfer among nearly 300 pieces of equipment on the show floor. Machine tools, robots, inspection devices and other equipment from 72 exhibitors were connected via FANUC’s Field IIoT system to form a “connected factory” of sorts on the show floor. Monitors in this display area showed the condition of machines throughout the show’s eight halls. | 2019-04-19T06:55:51Z | https://www.productionmachining.com/blog/post/three-expectations-for-robot-automation- |

Robin Gibb, one of the three singing brothers of the Bee Gees, the long-running Anglo-Australian pop group whose chirping falsettos and hook-laden disco hits like “Jive Talkin’ ” and “You Should Be Dancing” shot them to worldwide fame in the 1970s, died on Sunday in London. He was 62 and lived in Thame, Oxfordshire, England.
The cause was complications of cancer and intestinal surgery, his family said in a statement.
Mr. Gibb had been hospitalized for intestinal problems several times in the last two years. Cancer had spread from his colon to his liver, and in the weeks before his death he had pneumonia and for a while was in a coma.
Mr. Gibb was the second Bee Gee and third Gibb brother to die. His fraternal twin and fellow Bee Gee, Maurice Gibb, died of complications of a twisted intestine in 2003 at 53. The youngest brother, Andy, who had a successful solo career, was 30 when he died of heart failure, in 1988.
With brilliant smiles, polished funk and adenoidal close harmonies, the Bee Gees — Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb — were disco’s ambassadors to Middle America in the 1970s, embodying the peacocked look of the time in their open-chested leisure suits and gold medallions.
They sold well over 100 million albums and had six consecutive No. 1 singles from 1977 to 1979. They were also inextricably tied to the disco era’s defining movie, “Saturday Night Fever,” a showcase for their music that included the hit “Stayin’ Alive,” its propulsive beat in step with the strut of the film’s star, John Travolta.
Barry, the oldest brother, was the dominant Bee Gee for most of the group’s existence. But the lead singer for many of the early hits was Robin, whose breaking voice, gaunt frame and gloomy eyes were well suited to convey adolescent fragility. “I Started a Joke” (with the second line, “Which started the whole world crying”), “I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You,” “Massachusetts” and other heavy-hearted songs brought the Bee Gees to the top of the charts as one of the British Invasion’s most musically conservative groups.
Robin Hugh Gibb and his twin, Maurice, were born on Dec. 22, 1949, on the Isle of Man, a British dependency in the Irish Sea. (Barry was born there in 1946.) The boys largely grew up in Manchester, England, where the family lived on the edge of poverty. Their father, Hugh, a drummer and bandleader, encouraged his sons to sing. Their mother, Barbara, was also a singer.
According to Bee Gees lore, the boys’ first performance was sometime in the mid-1950s, and unplanned. They had been scheduled to perform as a lip-synching act at a movie theater in Manchester when the record broke, forcing them to sing for real.
The family moved to Australia in 1958, and before long the brothers, performing as the Bee Gees — for Brothers Gibb — began scoring local hits and appearing on television. They left for London in early 1967 and within weeks had signed with Robert Stigwood, the impresario who guided them in their peak years.
The band’s first single in Britain, “New York Mining Disaster 1941,” was released in April 1967 and reached the Top 20.
But in private Robin was far from dull. He and his wife, Dwina Murphy, who survives him, lived in a 12th-century former monastery in Oxfordshire that he had restored and filled with statues of Buddha and suits of armor. In Miami, his mansion was open to celebrities and politicians like Tony Blair.
Robin briefly left the group in 1969 and tried out a solo career. After he rejoined his brothers, they scored their first No. 1 in the United States with “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart” in 1971. But with harder rock taking over, the Bee Gees’ popularity ebbed, reaching bottom in 1974 with a series of supper-club gigs in England to pay off tax debts.
At that point their label, Atlantic, sent the brothers to Miami for musical experimentation. There, with the 1975 album “Main Course,” they reinvented the Bee Gees’ sound with Latin and funk rhythms, electronic keyboards and vocals that owed a debt to Philadelphia soul. It brought the band its first hits in years: “Nights on Broadway” and “Jive Talkin’,” which went to No. 1.
For many listeners, the Gibbs were the face of disco. Even “Sesame Street” got caught up in the trend, with Robin singing on the disco-themed album “Sesame Street Fever.” It went gold.
The Bee Gees’ 1979 album, “Spirits Having Flown,” produced three more No. 1 singles, “Too Much Heaven,” “Tragedy” and “Love You Inside Out.” Then, in 1980, the band filed a $200 million lawsuit against Mr. Stigwood, saying he had swindled them out of royalties. Mr. Stigwood countersued for defamation and breach of contract. They settled out of court and publicly reconciled.
In the ’80s the band’s popularity waned in the United States but remained strong abroad. Robin released three solo albums, with limited success. The Bee Gees returned with some moderate hits in the late 1990s and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. With his brothers, Mr. Gibb won six Grammys.
In addition to his wife and his brother Barry, Robin Gibb is survived by his sons, Spencer and Robin-John, known as R J; his daughters, Melissa and Snow; a sister, Lesley; and his mother. An earlier marriage, to Molly Hullis, ended in divorce.
Mr. Gibb had recently been working on a classical piece, “The Titanic Requiem,” with Robin-John. It had its premiere in London on April 10, played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, but Robin was too ill to attend.
Despite the Bee Gees’ close association with disco, the Gibb brothers had long insisted that they had no stake in the genre.

After the close, Aurora Cannabis (ACB) announced a proposed offering of $250 million convertible senior notes due 2034. Such an offering is a likely sign that Coca-Cola (KO) isn't offering the company a ton of cash to invest in their international cannabis expansion.
My view has been negative on the fundamentals of the cannabis business and the wild wheeling and dealing of the management team. The company just purchased Whistler Medical Marijuana for $175 million in an all-share transaction.
As usual, the company is very lacking in providing financial details on acquired companies hoping the market falls into the hype of having additional production facilities and licenses. Whistler apparently has EBITDA margins in excess of 30%, though the EBITDA level is just as crucial and isn't provided.
The stock is in no-man's land in the $7 range after disclosing the convertible debt offering. The stock likely continues to rally, though, the fundamental picture continues to have a lot of holes.
The sentiment on StockTwits remains far too bullish. When Bullish sentiment hits nearly 95%, the stock is clearly riding a momentum wave that won't end well. For now, these traders will do anything to push the stock higher. | 2019-04-19T20:50:40Z | http://www.outfoxthestreet.com/2019/01/aurora-cannabis-no-deal.html |

Boron Nitride ceramic is a kind of refractory ceramic with low expansion and high thermal conductivity. This makes it to be an ideal choice to molten metals. It’s very easy to be machined to custom design with precision and tight tolerance because of its machinability.
Boron nitride can be long-term used at 1800 degrees under vacuum atmosphere. With gas protection, Boron Nitride can be used at 2100 °C. Boron Nitride is with high thermal shock resistance, no cracks under extreme cold & high temperature. If you take out Boron Nitride from 1000 degree-furnace and cooling it within short minutes. It still won’t break even repeat this test with 100 times. | 2019-04-25T10:40:47Z | https://www.innovacera.com/news/boron-nitride-molten-metal-atomizing-nozzles.html |
Simon, no matter how hard you pretend to answer my initial questions, you haven't. No matter how low you stoop to insult me, you haven't. What a laugh.
Don't know what your question was, since it seemed to make some straw man arguments about what I hadn't said. I do know that I have asked you the same straight question several times tonight: how many cups of coffeeee have you made for employees of IBM today? It's a reasonable question, why can't you answer it?
Reread post 1102, no need to respond, you've more than given me my answer.
Sh!t you really don't read and or listen do you?
And the body modulates Kleg according to surface stiffness (Kshoe + Ksurface) to obtain a near constant COM trajectory. So.... if I jump off a wall and land on the concrete below with my legs locked out..... If I land on the same surface from the same height, but bend my knees.... Now, if I jump from the same height and land on a softer surface I don't need to bend my knees relatively so much to arrive at the same impact forces that I achieved with either of the previous two examples. Is it better to run with straighter legs or more bent legs? Which will be more metabolically efficient? What does the research tell us? Does it tell us that performance is enhanced with running on stiffer surfaces or more compliant surfaces?
Simon, with respect to your questions, what does the research tell us about injury rates in running?
Simon, lets stick to the point I am making. You asked Mr. Sicknote to produce research and references to support his claims and I am simply pointing out that you also lack research and references to support your own claims.
The best you could do is reference two studies, one makes the statement "and injury rate MIGHT be reduced". The second reference states "and injury rate is POTENTIALLY halved". Not exactly conclusive, are they?
It simply proves my point, you got nothin so get off your high horse. You confirmed that when you lowered yourself to making coffee attacks. I understand why you were reduced to making personal attacks, what I don't get is coffee? Is that a generalization about a certain ethnic group or something? Please help me out with that one.
As far as jumping off a wall onto concrete, you are making a big stretch in comparing that to running. If you listen to Kevin Kirby, then you would want to jump of the wall and land on your heels like he claims the majority of runners supposedly do. I don't know how high your wall is but I would speculate that if it is high enough and you land on concrete on your heels, the outcome would not be good, I don't care how much you bend your knees. Maybe Kevin could jump off a 10 foot wall onto concrete landing on his heels to see what happens.
As far as landing on your heels, the 80% statistic Kevin uses is a bunch of crap lifted from a bogus study. The study visually observed runners at a given point in a race and recorded the results. Give me a break or is it, give me a coffee break.
Well hasn't this got zesty!
I'm surprised to see you on this one as well Simon. Not your usuall bag.
What does the research tell us about crawling naked over broken glass?
I am simply pointing out that you also lack research and references to support your own claims.
The problem with claims is that sometimes people claim that other people have made claims which they never, in fact, claimed. Thus they can claim that the claims of the other are unsupported claims when in fact, no such claims have been made. I think it would be worthwhile if the people claiming the claims of the other are unsupported, specify which claims they meant, moving the whole discussion onto the ground of clams being independant of any party. Then they (the claims claimed to have been claimed) can be addressed individually rather than collectively as "your claims", a term which one could right claim to be unsupportable as they would incorperate the corperate claims (or the claims some CLAIM to be corperate claims) which a group might claim another group subscribe to.
I hope I've managed to bring some clarity to the debate.
You haven't read the two papers I referenced have you, Dana? Two sugars in mine please, thanks luv.
I get the gist from some people that believe research methods, statistical analysis & wearing "optimal" footwear in the future (1000 years time) will cure foot injury?. That will never be the case.
I also recently broke my 4th metatarsal wearing the VFF. I have been wearing them for 6+ months, about 50 miles per week… and then the pain showed up on an everyday run. I didn’t land on it funny or anything.
You broke your 4th metatarsal wearing VFF?. Nooooooo, who would have guessed?. You were only running through the pain. 2 thumbs up.
Did anyone hear me say the word "common sense"?.
Something this guy clearly lacks. Back off the mileages, build up the tolerance & strength levels.
I get the gist some people seem to think research methods, statistical analysis & wearing "optimal" footwear in the future (1000 years time) will cure foot injury?.
True. And Walking barefoot does not ACTUALLY give your immune system a steady supply of electrons boosting your immune system so you never get sick, so you got that WELL wrong.
Its annoying when someone takes something said by somebody unrelated to you, Hyperbolises it to the point of absurdity, represents it as your views then disagrees with it with an air of smug superiority wouldn't you say?
Barefoot runners ALSO all believe in fairies. Mugs.
So the runners who decide to run through pain, lack common sense, lack in training knowledge, overreach beyond there existing potentials, running overweight, lack vital nutrients to bone/muscle health ect etc etc etc... There all of a sudden immune to injury just because they he have "a massive understanding of research methods, statistical analysis & wearing "optimal" footwear".
You & Simon are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Sarcasm fail. I'll try using shorter words. Try to follow.
That is what we podiatrists like to call "**** you made up". Nobody ever said that.
Let me know if you struggle to understand any of what I just said.
Simon, another bad assumption on your part. I have read those papers. The Van Gent study scanned the PubMed - Medline databases to pull 17 studies, 4 of which where described as low quality. They looked at risk factors behind injuries across Systemic, Running/training, Health and Lifestyle. While injury rates ranged from 19.4% to 92.4% other than some relationship between, age, training quantity and knee injury, they didn't find much in the way of significant risk factors. In fact, the final recommendation of the study was: We recommend further well designed studies on risk factors for running injuries for male and female runners."
Gee Wiz, that study was helpful and had nothing to do with what you were talking about nor supports anything you have said. Apparently you threw it out there to see if I actually read the weak piece of work.
A year ago we spoke of the McMahon study which I also had read which talks about the influence of track compliance on running. The study focuses on the influence of compliance on speed and efficiency. Unlike the Van Gent paper, this actually has substance but it is NOT about injury rate. Lower injury rate is seen as a side benefit to a more compliant track. A year ago I mentioned I grew up in Boston was a track runner and at the time was not only familiar with McMahon's paper but with the actual track he developed. Did you ever see or run on the track he developed?
Did you possibly throw this paper out there as a distraction as well?
No problem Simon, I know that there is very limited research in the area of running form, shoe preferences and injury rate. I know that anything you try to produce will at best be only remotely related if at all. You can put up a smoke screen for new people on this forum but I've been around too long to know when someone is full of BS and when they are not.
Go have a cup of coffee or would that be tea?
And this is wrong because.......? You asked me what the research tells us about the injury rate in runners, I pointed you to a meta-analyses of injury rates in running. Thus, that's what the research tells us about the injury rate in running. QED. And you didn't like that because..... it suggests that injury rates among runners might be as high as 92%??? Thus, my contention that running is crap.
Now, do you agree that impact forces between two bodies during a collision are, in part, determined by the relative stiffness of the colliding bodies? Do you agree that the leg stiffness characteristics are modulated by the CNS in response to the surface stiffness? Thus, we cannot simply say that "cushioning" reduces impact forces. Since by adding cushioning at the surface and/ or shoe level has been shown in several studies (not just the Mcmahon study- which is highly relevant to the discussion BTW which is why I cited it) to result in an increase in leg stiffness. Viz. it's not quite as simple as increased cushioning = decreased impact forces- right, Mr know it all? Now, before you put your, "I'm a runner therefore I know everything about running" 2 cents worth in, that was the point of the discussion. So: wind your neck in, read what was said, loose the straw man fallacies and lay off the coffeeeeeee.
Where I was going with this, before I was rudely interrupted by you, was that the body modulates leg stiffness according to surface stiffness; but if the leg functions too stiff or too compliant due to the surface stiffness then injury may ensue. Read the references in the leg stiffness thread: http://www.podiatry-arena.com/podiatry-forum/showthread.php?t=46019 Here's a good review: http://www.udel.edu/PT/davis/stiffness_update.pdf This paper references a number of studies which suggest (yes, "suggest" because thats all the studies can ever do) that leg stiffness is related to surface stiffness and that leg stiffness is related to injury. QED.

Staging is officially over! Well, almost! Tomorrow morning, we will gather and board a plane for Belize. We will spend a night in Belmopan, and then live with a host famiy in a nearby village for 2 1/2 weeks. We will attend training, all learn some basic Kriol, and get to know Belize. Next will be Community Based Training, where we will be living with another host family, and attending training specific to our assignmnet and region. Communication may be limited during this time, but remember, "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS!" We will do our best to keep you updated.
After a day of travel, we've made it to Peace Corps Staging in Miami, FL. We are now officially Peace Corps Trainees, again. Staging involves preparation to begin service, and we have joined over 30 individuals, from all over the United States, who are all headed to Belize. This afternoon we discussed basic Peace Corps Policies, as well as Peace Corps' Approach to Development and Safety and Security. The information has been the same as our last Staging for Kiribati, but it has been great getting to know the people we will be living and working with for the next 2 years. We have had some good rain, and we even had an unexpected break, when we were evacuated due to a fire alarm. We traveled down 20 flights of stairs and waited patiently for the Fire Department to check things out. It ended up being a false alarm. Just another reminder that when serving in the Peace Corps you must be flexible and ready for anything.
Staging is over. It has been a great opportunity to hang out with our fellow Peace Corps Trainees. Our Staging Trainer, Kathy, went through the basics of Peace Corps. We discussed Peace Corp policies, managing risks, coping with unwanted attention, cross cultural adjustments, and safety and security. We discussed our aspirations and anxieties as well as the goals of Peace Corps and sustainable development. The best part has been trying to come up with songs to sing. At our welcome dinner in Kiribati, we will have to sing 3 songs as a group. Being in tune is plus, as are hand motions. We are all pretty nervvous about this, but plan on practicing before the big day. Skidamarink, Hokey Pokey, Twinkle Twinkle, and a Fly song are some of our options so far. We will let you know how it goes. We are now in LAX waiting for our flight to Nadi, Fiji. The flight is about 11 hours. Fiji, as well as Kiribati, is 18 hours ahead of Texas time, so as we wrote earlier, we lose a day and get there on Wednesday. As our journey gets going communication will be very limited. Our blog will be updated through snail mail. Remember.....NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS. | 2019-04-25T11:01:12Z | https://clark-peterek.typepad.com/clarkpeterek/staging/ |
After several weeks of planning with some neighborhood girlfriends, the much anticipated cookie exchange was a sweet success!
From greek butterball, to chewy molasses spice, and a savory rosemary shortbread, we had more than 18 different varieties of cookies. Each guest shared their cookies' story which ran the gamut from family recipes, to Washington Post award winners, and ethnic favorites.
Conveniently, the party was just next door to my house so Andy took Roscoe for the afternoon and I enjoyed my first solo event.
I ditched my nursing bra and put on my hostess hat, greeted guests, stuffed myself with sweets and snacks, caught up with old friends and made a few new ones. The biggest prize was the box I carried home that was filled with a tantalizing variety of cookies that will last well into next week... or not! | 2019-04-19T19:03:42Z | http://www.boldheartmama.com/2009/12/cookie-exchange-2009.html |

Join us at Pequot Library on March 11th at 2 pm for a Free Young Persons’ Concert featuring the Haven String Quartet.
The Haven String Quartet: Yaira Matyakubova (violin); Gregory Tompkins (violin); Annalisa Boerner (viola); Philip Boulanger (cello).have been featured in the New York Times and WNPR, and sought after for both their command on the concert stage and comfort in the classroom, the Haven String Quartet (HSQ) has been hailed as “New Haven’s resident string quartet.” Its four members represent the nation’s top conservatories and bring world-class chamber music to the region each year through their full season of recitals, workshops, and impromptu pop-up performances.
As the permanent quartet-in-residence of Music Haven, the Haven String Quartet spearheads a nationally-recognized, free after-school lessons program for more than 80 students from New Haven’s most under-served neighborhoods. The HSQ and Music Haven provide their students with more than 2,500 contact hours per year through one-on-one lessons, group classes, coachings for student chamber groups, and the Harmony in Action youth orchestra.

Wolfe’s Neck Farm got a new name, the Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment, and officially became part of an internationally trending agricultural movement that aims to fight climate change from the ground up.
Beyond some signs referring to a TransFARMation, the changes aren’t obvious. That’s because a big part of the rebranding has to do with a mission happening underfoot. Literally. This transformation is about using the soil on this centuries-old 626-acre farm on the shores of Casco Bay to combat climate change.
As to be expected with the ever-evolving world of agriculture, there’s a buzzword for the new approach: regenerative agriculture. But it’s not yet in widespread use, and Wolfe’s Neck’s executive director David Herring finds himself defining it a lot.
Start with soil health. Richer soil, more dense with organic material, is the obvious path to stronger plants and better yields. That’s what compost is all about. Every farmer engaged in sustainable agriculture is already working toward this.
“These are not brand-new things,” Herring said. “None of these things are.” But there’s a growing consciousness – Herring even uses the word “revolution” – of the potential agricultural soils high in organic material have to trap more carbon, enough potential to halt or even roll back climate change.
Improving soil will build a higher level of resilience; organic matter in soil absorbs and retains more water, making farms more drought and flood resistant. But the major premise behind the burgeoning regenerative agriculture movement is that improving soil health is also the ideal means to get excess greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere and into the soil. Soil already sequesters carbon. It has potential to sequester a lot more, if it has human help to increase its capacity to hold carbon. And those humans need some help figuring out the recipe to healthier soil – meaning richer in organic material that can trap the carbon. Based on the speed at which the climate is changing, the recipe needs to be developed quickly.
Which is where Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment comes in. It will continue to be the place to go for a hayride in the fall, seashore camping in the summer or a field trip to gawk at new calves and squeal at the cuteness of baby goats. It’s also still the home of a burgeoning organic dairy program designed to train the next generation of dairy farmers, thus bolstering a struggling sector of agriculture.
But it has a new role as an observatory for how known methods of enriching soil naturally are working and – this is key, given how climate change is already affecting us – a laboratory for figuring out how to improve soils rapidly.
Agriculture has to be part of the solution, Herring said, because it is a major contributor to climate change.
Some estimates range even higher, up to 25 percent, although the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions puts it at 7 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Methane releases from livestock (the flatulence of cows is no joke), are a huge factor. Ruminants represent 37 percent of agriculture’s contribution, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Wolfe’s Neck, which began an organic dairy farmer training program in 2015 with a $1.7 million contribution by Stonyfield Organic, has a lot of cows.
Last year, Stonyfield, owned by French dairy giant Lactalis as of July, bought nearly 44,000 gallons of milk from Wolfe’s Neck, relatively speaking a drop in the bucket of the organic milk it sources throughout the region. But it is in the environmentally conscious company’s best interests to support efforts to halt the degenerative effect dairy farming has on climate. That’s why Stonyfield is contributing $250,000 in seed money for the regenerative agriculture observatory. The hope is, Wolfe’s Neck will help light the way to a better future for dairy.
Katherine Paul is the spokesperson for Regeneration International, a group that formed in 2015 to advocate worldwide for regenerative agriculture. She’s also, coincidentally, a Maine resident who visits Wolfe’s Neck regularly (she was hiking there a weekend ago). She said it is heartening to see a local farm embracing regenerative agriculture.
Wolfe’s Neck is trying to change that.
Topsoil is the nutrient rich top layer of earth where crops and plants can easily take hold. It was the lack of topsoil that turned American farmland into the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Overclearing of native plants for agricultural expansion in the Southern Plains in the 1920s, combined with severe drought, degenerated the soil and caused the topsoil to blow away in the hundreds of millions of tons. One of the all-time worst ecological disasters caused by mankind, the Dust Bowl broadened our understanding of how essential, and fragile, topsoil is. That was perhaps the ultimate early warning of how damaging agriculture can be to the soil.
Through regenerative agricultural methods, which are sometimes referred to as carbon farming or conservation farming, the old rules are going out the window.
As in, he’s deepening his topsoil, the good stuff, and it’s not taking him hundreds of years. Last fall, as it moved toward becoming a regenerative agriculture observatory, Wolfe’s Neck installed seven soil sensors that record data from 4 feet deep in the ground. They’re measuring the changes in the soil as they nurture it, with a focus on how much its composition is made up of organic material. The average healthy New England soil measures a 6 on the scale of percentage of organic matter in the soil (SOM), he said. (There’s no “top” of the scale per se, but Dust Bowl soil would have been less 1 at best, and Cox is proud that his in New Hampshire is an 8 and rising.) The plan is to see how fast Wolfe’s Neck can increase its organic composition through natural amendments, using cover crops, rotating crops and practicing no-till agriculture. They’ll keep an electronic record of all that they do (and don’t do), and the sensors will give them feedback about how the soil is changing.
Before delving into regenerative agricultural methods, which combine pieces of permaculture, biodynamics and organic farming, it helps to understand how plants help trap carbon in the soil and why that’s so important.
A plant pulls carbon out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis, drawing it down into the soil through its roots. Research shows that the plant releases some of that carbon into the area around its roots and that entices soil organisms to feed; they want that leached carbon.
“The soil is alive,” Cox said. And it’s hungry, hungry for carbon-based food.
Because of human activity, the world now has too much carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere; those shifting levels are higher than ever before in human history. The gauge is how many parts per million of carbon make up the atmosphere. Throughout human history, that’s been about 280 parts per million; 350 is considered acceptable by the scientific community. Today that figure is about 400 parts per million. That’s the numerical evidence, while record-breaking hot summers and disasters like hurricanes Harvey and Irma are the demonstration of it.
Much of the increase comes from the way we burn fossil fuels, but some of it, possibly as much as a quarter of it, stems from the way we grow our food. The clearing of forests to make room for crops worldwide is an obvious culprit and so are those farting cows. But so are common methods like tilling, which exposes the microbes under the ground to oxygen. There are billions of organisms in a handful of healthy soil, and tilling brings them to the surface.
“Just like opening the damper on your wood stove, you are accelerating the process,” he added.
Cox urges people to think not just about soil as a living organism, jammed with tiny fungal matter and microbes, but as something with a physical structure.
Regenerative agriculture is not a new concept. Robert Rodale, the son of J. I. Rodale, the giant of organic farming circles, is credited with coining the term, to describe the way topsoil could be regenerated. In the 1980s, the Rodale Institute started the Regenerative Agriculture Association and for a few years, regularly published books on the topic. Then it faded away.
The term resurfaced in recent years. In June 2015, a group of 100 activists from 60 countries met in Costa Rica and formed Regeneration International. Then, during the United Nations climate change talks in Paris later that year, regenerative agriculture was a big topic of conversation, leading to the establishment of the French “4 per 1000” initiative to increase soil carbon by that amount every year over the next 25 years in order to stabilize the climate.
Conservation activist and author Courtney White has watched as a topic he first heard about from a rancher in Marin County, California in 2010 become trendy. He published a book in 2014, “Grass, Soil, Hope: A Journey Through Carbon Country,” that included a chapter on Cox, and he’s working on a new book with a Western farmer who had powerful success with regenerative agriculture on his farm. More books are showing up the marketplace (see sidebar, S8).
“Regenerative agriculture is where things are headed,” White said.
The name might be confusing, since some call it carbon farming and others call it conservation farming, he said. But it is more than just a rebranding of sustainability.

Have you ever expressed a concern or a new symptom with someone and their response was “get over it”? I’ve always thought that to be a strange response. Get over what? Get over the pain? Get over the fear? Get over a chronic disease? What exactly am I to be getting over?
How do you get over something that you live with on a day to day, minute by minute basis. It’s easy for someone to come along who isn’t living in your body and say “get over it” when they aren’t experiencing your challenges. A person doesn’t just get over Multiple Sclerosis…they live with it.
I have no control over how my body is going to respond each day and the challenges I am going to face. One day I may feel great and the next day feel as if I’ve been hit by not just one, but two Mac trucks. I can’t control how my body is feeling even in the next hour, so how am I supposed to “get over it”?
Unfortunately, there are people who are unequipped, ill-equipped and wrongly equipped to be helpful to a person living with a chronic illness. If I had a broken arm, I would have people pouring out their concern and desire to help me open doors and carry a pile of books, but that’s because a broken arm is temporary and the need is visible. Once the bone mends and the cast is removed, the need for help is no longer there. Life goes on as it always has and no one has to open the doors or carry the books any more.
But a chronic illness is ongoing. It doesn’t simply go away no matter how much someone wishes it would. That’s why it doesn’t make sense to expect someone who is going through pain, weakness or any other MS struggle to “get over it” as if it’s a decision that can be made.
“Oh, today I’m going to ignore the fact that my legs don’t work, get over it and walk across the room.” Really? And that’s suppose to make Multiple Sclerosis go away…ignoring it and just getting over it? Yeah…No, that doesn’t work.
Most of the time people who give that kind of advice, if you want to call it advice, are at a point of frustration. They actually say what they say because in reality they want you to be over it so they can be spared having to deal with your challenges. Most want to help, but they want you to feel better and move on in an unrealistic time thus sparing them the inconvenience of having to adjust their lives to accommodate the unexpected.
Don’t ever apologize because you are hurting or need help. Don’t feel guilty because you are having challenges. You are the one living with MS and you have the right to feel what you feel. The better response a person could give would be to help you get through it. You will never get over it, but you can get through it. You do that every day you wake up and make it to the end of the day. | 2019-04-18T21:13:31Z | https://tamingthewalrus.com/get-over-it-really-a-blog-entry-by-positive-living-with-ms/ |

from kmox: St. Louis-based Monsanto has been named "2009 Company of the Year" by Forbes Magazine. The publication cites Monsanto's on-going work in the field of bio-engineering to improve crop yields and feed an ever-growing world population. Spokesman Darren Wallis says while chief executive Hugh Grant and everybody else at Monsanto are pleased with the honor, they remain focused on keeping their customers satisfied. "Mr. Grant has a great saying that we earn farmers' business every spring at the kitchen table," Wallis tells KMOX News. Forbes noted that Monsanto has been able to avoid the brunt of the Recession, earning more than $2 billion on revenue of $11.7 billion in fiscal '09, with sales increasing at an annualized 18% clip over the last five years... read the full article on Forbes' choice of Monsanto as the "2009 Company of the Year"
2009 – Year of the GANGSTERS !!!
Our masters, the ruling elite, are flaunting their supreme overlordship very blatantly now. They must feel their stranglehold on the human race is unbreakable. I hope we can hold our breath for a while!
To call this organized crime syndicate known as Mansanto the "company of the year" runs in tandem to giving a war mongering thief liar the Nobel Prize!
first hand about Monsanto. As a kid we used to visit friends that lived near the plant.
were spewing into the local neighborhoods.
they didn't give a crap. I believe people were strong armed then just like now by this company.
In the days coming using the old Russian method of BS control of turning backwards everything they read in their so called news will have renewed meaning. We can see in a vast majority of secretions of the modern Main Stream Media nothing makes sense unless flipped over 180 degrees. Orwellian newspeak is all we seem to be fed . I can sort it out. And if i can so will the majority. And when they GET IT look out all you slug types with the devil in your hearts. We will have our lives returned. We will have our JUSTICE handed down from the good lord himself without a doubt. Soon.
This company is ruled from Rome and is one of the most important weapons for Stumpy Ratzinger to use to cull the human herd.
Monsanto truly doesn't care about the health of humanity. Monsanto only cares about how many billions of dollars they can make.
I am all for bio-engeeniered food but there are a few conditions that must be met. First of all monsanto must get rid of all there destroyer seeds. Monsanto must pay back all the farmers it stole from this includes the extortion of millions through fake courts and bought judges. They must steer clear of all unethical behavior. only be involved in a peace orented product. no more chems for the military industrial complex.
what ever is genetically made must not have a greater impact on the enviroment then the original product.
It must taste just as good as the original.
It must have the same or better nutritional value as the original.
there must be some benifit for the world to grow the seeds. ie. faster growing, more resilliant to weather change, rezillaint to bugs…etc.
get these things right and you will have a great company that the true people of this planet will adore.
LOL, is this for real. I mean when I first saw this I thought it was a joke! I cannot believe how bad America is getting.
Yeah, I hear Kissinger is also sexiest man of the year!!!
BTW, If "Good" is the intent, does the term TERMINATOR seed reflect that intent?!
Paradoxity of life. …..where Henry Kissinger, Obama and other mass murderes get nobel peace prizes, then why the most evil corp. in the world wouldnt get this prize. If you cant laugh about it, you must be into conspiracy…..
Monsanto hates the word HEMP!!!!!!! It could feed and save the world, but who wants that when we got bio engeeniring….. | 2019-04-20T04:26:59Z | https://mediamonarchy.com/monsanto-named-company-of-year-by/ |

NEW YORK (AP) Six years after saying they wanted to explore alternative sites to downtown St. Petersburg for a new ballpark, the Tampa Bay Rays still are in search of a location.
”Tampa is obviously very, very attractive on the list, and we expect to at some point, hopefully sooner, look there as well as some other parts of the region,” Rays owner Stuart Sternberg said Tuesday during a panel at the MLB Diversity Business Summit.
Sternberg took control of the team after the 2005 season, and in November 2007 the Rays proposed to replace Tropicana Field with a 34,000-seat, open-air stadium at the downtown site of Al Lang Field, a longtime spring training ballpark. They withdrew that plan the following June, and Sternberg said in June 2010 he wanted to explore potential sites throughout the Tampa Bay area.
The Rays’ lease at Tropicana Field runs through 2027. Tampa Bay hasn’t drawn more than 2 million fans at home since its first season in 1998. Despite winning 90 or more games in each of the last four seasons, the Rays haven’t topped 1.6 million in any of the last three years.
”We haven’t had the greatest success in attracting the what we call enough fans relative to the success we’ve had on-field, and we would like to explore other part of the region, specifically Tampa and parts of St. Petersburg,” Sternberg said.
He said the Rays need to undertake ”a full-out exploration” of transportation and access issues.
”Until we’re able to do all the work that’s necessary there, I won’t really have an answer for it,” he said. | 2019-04-22T06:59:35Z | https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/sternberg-calls-tampa-very-very-attractive-041514 |

How do you define crazy? Crazy means deranged. Deranged means insane. Insane means crazy. It’s an ouroborus. But deep down, we all know crazy when we see it or hear it because there’s something universal about expectations of thinking and behavior that transcends description.
In my effort to use this blog as a means of teaching how to develop skills of interpreting literature, today we have an amazing opportunity to learn about characterization at the hands of a master storyteller, Christopher Nolan.
Information/description given by the narrator without any judgment- ex. The narrator of a story tells you, “John was a tall man.” It’s descriptive, but there’s no implication or judgment involved.
In literature, all of these are easily accessible. In film, however, Numbers 1 & 2 only apply when there’s a Voice-Over Narration. So I’ll be focusing this analysis of The Dark Knight on numbers 3,4,5. Number six is accessible in the film only through voice over.
Here we go. It starts with a claim. After you make a claim, the next thing you have to do is look for examples in the text (this case Nolan’s film) to support your claim. Those examples are called Textual Evidence. That’s right-evidence – information gathered to support a conclusion.
CLAIM: Actor Heath Ledger said of the character The Joker that he played in the film The Dark Knight, that The Joker was “a psychotic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” who merely wants to “upset the social order through crime.” However, if one looks at the definition of these clinical terms, one sees that throughout the film The Joker displays clear attributes of the opposite. It’s the Hamlet question – Is he insane or merely pretending to be?
Ledger’s performance is a tour de force, a fine line that balances completely on characterization. Ledger claims the Joker is a psychotic. A clinical definition deems psychosis to be characterized by changes in personality, impaired functioning, or a nonexistent sense of objective reality. Let’s take these one by one.
From our first encounter with The Joker, we see that he is consistent. He is revealed as the master mind behind a bank robbery in progress and through his manipulation of his henchmen and by playing them for their greediness, he manages to be the only one leaving with the money. He is pretending in this scene to be merely another lackey on the heist, this establishes pretense as a tool in his behavioral arsenal. While his actions seem erratic or capricious, we see evidence of advanced planning every step of the way. In the scene where he introduces his plan to get rid of Batman to a gathering of Gotham City’s mob bosses, he is threatened. When this happens, he opens his coat revealing live grenades one can only assume he is more than willing to use. His use of video messages to convey his intentions is designed to instill fear and panic as well as to manipulate certain responses that lead to his arrest. The way he escapes through the clever use of a cell phone also shows the advanced mind of someone well versed in premeditation. Joker’s consistency in all areas shows how his character’s personality shows little change.
Does he exhibit impaired functioning? I would argue the opposite. Harvey Dent accuses Joker of having ‘planned’ all of this, to which Joker replies, “Do I really look like a guy with a plan?” of course he is wearing a nurse’s uniform when he says this, another example of how much ‘planning’ he has actually done to manage to get near Dent who is under police protection. Joker says, “I just do things. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. I am an agent of chaos.” Joker says these things, but his actions show advanced strategic planning on multiple levels constantly throughout the film. It takes intellect to ‘scheme’ as well as he does. The only other character that comes close to understanding the level of the Joker’s threats is Alfred. He forces others to make impossible ethical choices. He uses obfuscation to make people see Batman as the cause of Gotham’s problems, not him. He turns a simple act of Batman refusing to reveal his identity as Batman making a choice to allow people to be killed. But Joker’s anonymity protects him as much as Batman’s protects Bruce Wayne’s. The Joker’s ability to function is not only unimpaired, I’d say it is heightened.
As for a disturbed or nonexistent sense of objective reality goes, Joker embodies the object realities that people wish to dismiss, ignore, or completely deny. Dent says, “The only morality in a cruel world is chance.” That may be true if your morality is only based on equality, but not fairness. Batman says to Alfred, “Criminals aren’t complicated, Alfred. We just need to figure out what he’s after.” Objective reality is something being true outside a person’s own biases or feelings. I challenge anyone to find a statement the Joker makes about society that’s untrue. He tells Batman, “You either die a hero or you live long enough to become a villain.” This becomes a kind of prophecy by the end of the film. He says, “When the chips are down, these civilized people will eat each other.” He sets up his ‘social experiment’ on the boats to prove this. And while ultimately the two boats don’t blow each other up, they vote on one boat to do it. Joker is correct…they will eat each other, just not while others are looking. The civilized people show a lack of empathy for the criminals on the other boat. It’s understandable to the viewing audience because we see it’s rooted in self-preservation. Just because no one ultimately has the conviction to do it or no one takes the ethical stance of greater good for the greatest number of people, does not prove the Joker’s assessment of society to be wrong. He tells Batman, “You have all these rules and you think they’ll save you. The only way to live in this world is without rules. Killing is making a choice.” Joker understands truths about our social contracts that we dare not acknowledge. And those that do, we label as crazy. Joker has a keen sense of objective reality. He simply choses to try and alter that reality.
He does not hallucinate, nor is he delusional. He knows there are consequences for his actions and at times seems to welcome them, like when Batman is racing towards him in a dead on collision. He stands in the street says, “Come on. Come one. Hit Me!” He’s not schizophrenic. At no time does he lose contact with reality, though at times he feigns insanity for effect. Viewers may judge his actions criminal; however, he is aware that his actions are illegal and he disregards that concept. Not because of a lack of understanding, but a choice. “Killing is making a choice,” remember? He exhibits none of the five subcategories of schizophrenia. He is not paranoid. He is not disorganized. He definitely is not catatonic or undifferentiated. Nor is he residual. So how then can we say he is clinically insane?
The only argument I can see supporting this is Ledger’s claim that Joker has zero empathy. He takes life without remorse. He causes damage at every turn. He mercilessly manipulates others to his advantage. But for me, the scene where he goes to see Dent in the hospital is one of the most complex revelations of Joker’s character in the film. He knows what damage he has done to Dent. Yet he goes there trying to give him the words he needs to hear. That it’s okay to be angry. It’s okay to cause chaos and to break the rules. It’s a bizarre tender moment, one in which he even takes Dent by the hand. So there is empathy, though many may not see it that way. It’s not empathy on a grand scale. It’s much more personal. He’s welcoming Dent into the Hall of Freaks that up until now held only himself and the Batman.
Is the Joker legally insane or just evil? A look at Characterization. | 2019-04-19T15:12:16Z | https://www.myhorribleidea.com/the-dark-knight-2008 |
A yoga therapy session is probably a lot more than what you think if you have never been to one before. Those that have not experienced yoga think it is just a bunch of poses that don’t mean anything. In reality, there is a reason behind each practice. The benefits of yoga are limitless, but you have to attend a session to understand it fully.
When you attend just one yoga therapy session, you will uncover the profound healing that occurs with the practice. Students learn how to be more mindful and how to listen to what their inner wisdom is telling them.
Tension, trauma, belief, and self-perceptions can all be released with proper posturing during a yoga session. The first experience is one that many people never forget. It becomes something that is depended on for relaxation, focus, and a healthy lifestyle by those that are dedicated to it.
Connecting the mind, body, and heart is the primary goal in a yoga therapy session. To do that properly, it must be customized to the individual. That is how he or she will get the most out of their class. A qualified instructor knows how to put together a program that suits each person’s specific needs and skill levels.
Part of each program of a yoga therapy session is a commitment to linking the body, mind, and spirit in a healthy way. There are generally breathing practices, meditation, visualizations, and various yoga postures completed during every appointment.
By doing each of the exercises, or poses during a class, the student is going to discover a lot out about themselves. There is also a feeling of release, healing, and growth that happens while being active in yoga.
Just about everyone is going to find some sort of benefit from a yoga therapy session. There is proof that it helps with a variety of injuries, illnesses, and various mental health issues. Depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, chronic pain, and even relationship problems have been overcome successfully with yoga.
Not only will you get what you need from your yoga therapy session with a professional instructor, but you will take it with you. It is not like going to the gym. You walk in, work out, and go home. With a yoga therapy session, you leave with techniques to use in relationships, daily life, and with the world as a whole.
The main concern of your instructor is to explore your physical, emotional, and spiritual self in a safe and supportive way. The satisfaction of the client is always the number one priority for an empathetic and educated yoga teacher.
Are you ready to explore a yoga therapy session? If you answered yes, now is the time to call us. We will point you in the right direction. Find a class level that is suited to your specific needs. You can also get a private lesson for a more individualized experience. | 2019-04-22T02:09:16Z | http://www.reaveschiro.com/yoga-river-north-chicago/yoga-therapy-session/ |

The Catskill Mountains of southeastern New York are several hours northwest of New York City, west of the Hudson River and roughly cover four counties. Considered the frontier in Colonial days, the area was dubbed the "Borscht Belt" or "Jewish Alps" in the mid-20th century for the hotels, resorts, camps and cottage colonies favored by New York City Jews escaping from the city's heat in the summer. With mountains, cool lakes, numerous streams and rivers and small towns scattered among the forests and farmlands, the area is rich in natural beauty, culture and history. The Catskills have lodging options ranging from country inns to chain hotels, cabins and campgrounds.
April 1 is the opening of fishing season in many areas of the Catskills, and Roscoe, in Sulllivan County, is billed the "Fly Fishing Capital of the World." The Upper Beaverkill River meets the Willowemoc River in Roscoe, and the stretch of river between Roscoe and nearby Livingston Manor is open to the public. Just off Route 17 between the two towns, visit the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum for exhibits and programs related to the sport.
On Memorial Day weekend, head to the Woodstock-New Paltz Arts and Crafts Fair at the Ulster County Fairgrounds for arts, crafts, music, food and wine. Running for more than 30 years, the fair has been voted one of America's best by "Sunshine Artist" magazine. Late May is also the time to head to Tannersville in Greene County for the Rubber Duck and Crazy Boat Races and Festival. Watch as hundreds of rubber ducks are released or build your own boat for the boat race; the festival also has crafts, music and food.
Visit Bethel in Sullivan County in the summer to enjoy classical, jazz, rock and country music concerts at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Built on the site of the 1969 Woodstock Concert, Bethel Woods offers acres of landscaped grounds, with a monument listing the performers at Woodstock at one corner of the property. The museum focuses not only on the history of the famous concert but also on significant events of the 1960s, including the Civil Rights Movement and the Space Race. Just down the road in Monticello, the Monticello Raceway and Casino, or "racino," offers both thoroughbred harness racing and a casino where you can try your luck at the slot machines or table games.
Head to Greene County's Windham Mountain for the Fourth of July celebration, where you'll find a parade, a barbecue, music and a fireworks display. The mountain resort offers hiking, biking and horseback riding.
Fall, particularly early to mid-October, is the time for leisurely drives to take in the glory of the autumnal display of color anywhere in the heavily treed Catskills. Book a weekend at a resort such as the Villa Roma Resort and Conference Center in Callicoon, which offers golf, tennis, pools and an arcade room, or explore the Legend of Sleepy Hollow at the Washington Irving Inn in Hunter, a bed and breakfast with themed rooms and cottages. Hunter Mountain hosts an annual Oktoberfest on two weekends in October with music, crafts and food.
Hunting is a popular fall activity in the Catskills. Check the Department of Environmental Conservation website (dec.ny.gov) for dates and license requirements for bow and firearm hunting of deer, turkey, bear, bobcat, waterfowl and small game. You'll need permission to hunt on private property, but some public lands are open to hunting as well. Check with the local Department of Environmental Conservation or a New York Forest Ranger for maps and required permissions for public areas.
The long, snowy winters in the Catskills make it a destination for winter sports. Top ski resorts in the Catskills include Windham Mountain in Windham, Hunter Mountain in Hunter, Plattekill in Roxbury and Belleayre Mountain in Highmount, although many smaller venues also operate.
Delaware County offers two ice festivals, the Winter Festival at the Walton Fairgrounds in Walton, with an ice-carving competition, ice skating, snowmobile races and local food vendors; and the Ice Harvest at Hanford Mills Museum in East Meredith, with demonstrations of ice fishing and the cutting and harvesting of ice, horse-drawn sleigh rides and plenty of warm soups and hot apple cider.
For an unusual holiday experience, look for a performance by Bells and Motley, a couple who play medieval and Renaissance instruments, sing, dance and celebrate at libraries and other venues throughout the area. Cap off your winter holiday with a visit to one of the area's many tree farms, where you can pick out your own Christmas tree and have it cut for you on the spot. | 2019-04-24T16:27:32Z | https://getawaytips.azcentral.com/catskills-new-york-vacation-ideas-5476.html |

JAKARTA, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- A powerful quake in the Philippines was strongly felt in North Sulawesi province in Indonesia's northern Celebes Island on Saturday, but the Indonesian meteorology and geophysics agency did not issue a tsunami warning, an official of the agency said.
"This quake is not potential for tsunami in Indonesian territory," head of the quake and tsunami department of the agency Rahmat Triyono said.
The jolts were also moderately felt in North Maluku province of eastern Indonesia, Triyono said.
Spokesman of the National Disaster Management Agency Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, however, said the jolts did not caude damages in Indonesian territory.
There is no preliminary reports of casualties or damages triggered by the quake, he told Xinhua.
Northern parts of Celebes Island and Maluku province in central and eastern parts of Indonesia border the Philippines.
A 7.1-magnitude quake struck off the Philippine island of Mindanao at 10:39 a.m. Jakarta time with a depth of 49 km.
Indonesia is also prone to quake as it lies on a vulnerable quake-prone zone of the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire." | 2019-04-22T17:40:24Z | http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-12/29/c_137706866.htm |

I stopped my forward movement to the kitchen and glanced down at my ceral bowl. Then over at Corb, sitting on his favorite green cushiony chair in the living room.
Hmmm. Did I plan to place my cereal bowl into the sink? Yes, in fact, I was. All the cereally goodness had been removed and what was left were a few random soggy flakes, along with milk that had gone through the cereal cycle. Hell no, I had no intention of finishing off the rest of THAT.
What? How could…? And then, in a second, it dawned on me. A memory from childhood. I turned to Corb, a look of horror on my face.
It’s true. She was on old cranky Yankee, her descendants came over on the Mayflower. Her great-grandfather was a Fairbanks. A Fairbanks, dammit! She detested waste, in any shape and form. And one of the things I vividly remember her freaking out about: cereal bowls and milk.
What? I turned around. She stood there with a very very stern look on her face, arms crossed.
Well, we struggled for hours over that. At lunchtime, sure enough, that offensive bowl of Cheerio crud was sitting there at my lunch plate. I couldn’t wait for my parents to get home that night.
And now, after all these years, she’s back again. Corb has become my Nana Hall. A ghost of Christmas past, exhorting me to drink my cereal milk. A specter from all those years ago.
And that’s when I snapped, your honor. He brought back memories of a childhood trauma and I had no choice but to kill him, don’t you see? Oh, I know some people will tell me I may have gone a little overboard. That the punishment didn’t fit the crime/ But it was either that or be forced to drink that god-damn sloggy bowl of cereal! And after all these years, I couldn’t let my Nana Hall win. IT WAS EITHER HIM OR ME!
Transcript ends at this point. We hope Ted is quite content in the asylum for the criminal insane he has been taken to. Details on the funeral arrangements for Corb, his beloved but cereal-soaked partner, will be announced forthwith.

“Sarah and Nichols are both 100% right: this does matter. It goes to the heart of the question of what the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass really is. It touches upon that whole raft of practical changes (“Reordering”) which were not in any way whatsoever mandated by the Council but which were put into effect by those who subsequently got their hands on to the levers of power. It bears powerfully upon the crucial question of whether the mighty task of the redintegratio of Catholic worship, set in motion by Papa Ratzinger, will continue under Papa Bergoglio’s successor. | 2019-04-25T21:49:29Z | http://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2016/07/fr-hunwicke-weighs-in-on-ad-orientem.html |

My focus on biomorphic forms stems from my interest in the human encounter with disease. Disease is an experience that radically transforms life through its ability to force a discussion about human suffering and survival. I have witnessed how a devastating disease, while excruciating, can change one’s life in a positive and powerful way. Personal experience and microscopic slides of human tissue influenced my work. Creating textured form, I reference organic growths that explore the relationship between health and disease.
My sculptures explore the temporary symbiotic relationship between healthy and deadly cells in patients who are battling disease. My reference material is alluded to through the use of glass, which parallels the qualities seen in the images seen thru the microscope. The highly textured surfaces imply the growth of disease while yellow, red and amber allude to bodily fluids. Concurrently, the bright quality of the colors used reflects the positive consequences that disease can cause. | 2019-04-23T10:16:48Z | http://www.functionart.com/AM/Artists/OttersonH/OttersonH.html |

Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano showed again Saturday at New York Fashion week. Click the image above to see more photos of his line, or read about it here.
It's exciting and exhilarating, but bizarre. When they came to me, I said, 'I'm about to turn 56 years old. Are they crazy?' But it kept revealing itself in layers and next thing, I'm wearing the 'Iron Man' suit. I was dumbstruck.
According to the NY Daily News it hit the streets last Thursday. I guess if anyone make it work, he can.
I really like dsome of the things Siriano showed- the ball gowns, especially, were very charming.
But the shoes. oh god. I am all for an architectural heel. I am all for platforms, as when they are made well, they actually make heels more comfortable. I'm sure that when they are actually released by Payless, they will be very different. As of right now, those shoes are AWFUL. | 2019-04-18T14:20:56Z | http://www.experimentfarm.com/2009/09/runway-shorts.html |
PHE has now communicated the appointment of the preliminary Administrators of Public Well being for the seven new NHS regional administration groups. Delivering on this new function shall be a crew effort for the entire of PHE and can handle an essential hole in public well being experience that resulted from the 2013 adjustments. As we transfer into the implementation section of the NHS Lengthy Time period Plan, probably the most notable alternatives is the dedication that each space of England turns into a part of an built-in care system (ICS). These could have a place-based inhabitants well being focus alongside therapy and care with native authorities as an inseparable companion. The brand new regional administrators of public well being will help and facilitate this.
This offers a brand new alternative to help the NHS and native authorities to work collectively within the frequent curiosity of bettering well being outcomes, effectivity and shutting the hole between the prosperous and the poor. Not all of that is new in fact, with many examples of nice integration and a historical past of joint appointments, however each ICS recruiting their lead on place-based inhabitants well being from inside the cadre of native authority public well being administrators appears to me one to not miss. This could construct on the management function of councils in public well being and place-based management and on rising greatest apply, which recognises the importance of the contribution that the NHS should make to bettering the well being of the inhabitants. I sit up for discussing this additional with native authorities and the brand new NHS regional administrators.
The publication of the Authorities’s Clean Air Strategy this week is an extra instance that wants the entire system to tug collectively, with interventions throughout civic society and at each degree. The London smogs of the 1950s have fortunately grow to be a factor of the previous, my grandfather spoke of London because the Massive Smoke, and but air air pollution stays the most important environmental threat to the general public’s well being. The measures included on this technique will, when applied, make a marked contribution to bettering the air we breathe and particularly so for kids.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, PHE revealed findings on matters starting from illnesses like Ebola and Zika as to whether daylight impacts our blood stress, in 910 peer reviewed papers, in most of the world’s most acclaimed scientific journals. Now we have now revealed our annual research review for this era, displaying worldwide collaboration with teachers, clinicians and area researchers. Collectively we’re making a major influence on actions to enhance and shield the general public’s well being.
This week marked the ten yr anniversary of eBug, which is operated by PHE and goals to coach youngsters, younger individuals and communities about microbes, hygiene, infections and antibiotics. eBug does implausible work within the UK and worldwide, with our assets now in additional than 30 international locations and 27 languages. The website and free resources are nicely price a glance.
And at last, I had the pleasure of talking at our first ever Provider Convention this week. This allowed us to satisfy with companies we work with alongside colleagues from PHE, DHSC and the Cupboard Workplace. It was nice to have interaction with our provide base, share our mission and our ambition and a name to motion to our suppliers to decide to our emergent Optimistic Procurement technique, which attracts collectively one of the best apply in social worth with the significance of delivering nice well being and notably psychological well being at work. | 2019-04-22T12:02:40Z | http://easyanxiety.com/duncan-selbies-friday-message-18-january-2019 |

The downside of speeding on unfamiliar roads. Getting surprised by a roundabout and causing 2 nice motorcycles to crash. Sad for those bikes but it looks like everyone is somewhat ok.
When you blast through traffic like this always except the crazy car or in this case van that will cut you off.
Here is some up close and personal video of a 2017 636 lowsiding, crashing and almost into the camera man when riding the Mulholland snake in California.
San Diego County, California, USA. Watch as a rider speeding in traffic hits a crashing SUV. What a scary motorcycle crash!
Watch as a rider on a 2006 GSXR 1000 bored to 1070 runs from a police helicopter. Ends in a motorcycle crash.
Watch as a rider gets hit by a car making a lane change. This rider was splitting lanes and speeding so no one was really surprised by the outcome.
LOL! I bet the guy recording the video was thinking "Wow this is awesome!" Went from a boring wheelie to a motorcycle accident.

Dash cam records a surprising moment when a rider crashes and slides into the oncoming lane. Luckily the police car that recorded the crash noticed and pulled over to the side of the road as the biker slid on by.
A Canadian woman died following this crash on Friday in Mississauga, Ontario. Video shows an SUV cutting into the left lane directly in front of motorcyclist. She was rushed to an area hospital but succumbed to her injuries the next day.
Yamaha FZ-09 Hits A Curb And Crashes Hard.

Sitting On The Gas Tank Is Never A Good Idea, Big Crash!

I was told little about her early life and knew too much of her decline. In the final months I was not even sure it was mum talking – she had been known throughout her life as Peg, sometimes Peggy but when she moved into a nursing home all the staff referred to her as Marian – her first and until then, unused Christian name, except the family always thought it was Marion with an ‘o’ and I think she did too; her birth certificate confirms the nurses were right. So the sign on her door said Marian; I don’t think I ever really knew who it was on the other side.
Old photographs never lose their capacity to surprise, particulalry when they appear out of the blue. I have digitised and reprinted a large number of old photos belonging to my maternal grandfather but I had never seen this one before. In later years my mother developed a habit of creating random albums, haphazard collections with no obvious consistency of place, subject or time; this one was tucked in between my sister’s wedding and her grandchildren playing in the garden. Perhaps this is no bad thing, each page has the capacity to astonish, there being no clues as to what might appear next; poor mum’s mind developed a similar trend towards her end.
The car is a 1920s Ford Model A and the small girl is my mother. They are probably all Taylors, my maternal grandmother’s side of the family. The man on the far left is her grandfather, William and the bowler-hatted gent is Uncle Charlie, thought by mum to be several shillings short of a pound. The lady is her grandmother Emily Susan but the young man in the flat cap is unknown to me, lost with my late mother’s memory.
The picture was probably taken at the family home near Bransbury which was demolished in the fifties when the Andover to Sutton Scotney road was widened. | 2019-04-24T11:15:07Z | https://northumbrianlight.wordpress.com/tag/marion-peggy-down/ |
It’s crucial the Mayor knows that we care about breathing clean healthy air. His plans for the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) leave Londoners in the outer boroughs with the weakest protections against air pollution from vehicles. And the current area proposed for the ULEZ (in red on the right - click to enlarge) doesn’t even include all of Southwark!
The plans could make the roads around the South Circular even more polluted and congested as people try to avoid paying by skirting around the ULEZ. We are replying to the consultation on behalf of Southwark Green Party, and you can add your voice to show the Mayor that Londoners want him to take strong action on air pollution.
Introduce the ULEZ by 2020.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Carinsuranceplan.org has released a new blog post that explains what car insurance policies are recommended for drivers.
It is important to remember that a single policy provides limited coverage. In order to increase the overall protection, drivers should buy different policies. Of course, it is recommended to compare prices before any purchase. Now, drivers can get multiple quotes using just a single brokerage website, http://carinsuranceplan.org, Get free quotes and compare the best deals!
He has sufficient funds to compensate the victims of an at-fault accident. Liability car insurance is a mandatory policy all over the United States. This policy reimburses the victims for property damage and bodily injuries. This policy does not reimburse the policyholder.
He will be reimbursed for his own car repairs. Collision car insurance will reimburse the policyholder, no matter who is at fault. It can be used even if the policyholder flips his own car or hits other cars that he possesses.
He will be reimbursed if the car is damaged by events not involving an accident. Comprehensive car insurance is designed to financially compensate the driver is the covered car is damaged or totaled by extreme weather phenomena, animal attacks, vandalism or other factors beyond policyholder's control. In many contracts, the client will encounter the term "Act of God". This policy also covers car theft.
He will be reimbursed if he is hit by an underinsured or uninsured driver. The number of uninsured and underinsured drivers across the United States is pretty high. Having this policy is recommended if the driver lives in areas with high unemployment rates.
"Purchasing multiple car insurance policies may cost more than having just a bare-bones policy, with just the minimum requirements. But you will have a better financial protection" said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Winter is coming! Which means: time to cosy up in puffer coats and knitted trousers. What's tricky during winter is that you never quite know what the weather will be like. If you live in Belgium you'll know what I mean, it's a constant play between sunshine - rain - snow (if my prayer's will be heard) and lots of wind. This can affect the choice of shoes you'll be wearing. Found these suede adidas kicks and immediately heard a tiny little mom-voice in the back of my head saying 'these will get dirty are you sure you'll wear them?'. I have been wearing them quite often, although I always did my weather-research up front and got quite lucky. (Here are some tips for my dutch speaking readers) I teamed them with my favourite puffer coat at the moment (yes it's vinyl) and a pair of knitted trousers. | 2019-04-26T08:31:51Z | http://www.acausedesbrunettes.com/2017/11/winter-ready.html |
As I said the other day, being an environmentalist in China is not easy and potentially bad for your health. A mob reportedly beat up a local environmentalist who called for government officials to swim in a heavily polluted river in China.
We’d written about the river’s plight a week ago (check out the photo of the river to the right).
Interestingly, the man who was assaulted was not the local business person who offered big money ($32,000) to a government environmental official if he’d swim in the polluted river, but instead they targeted a 60 year old activist who had backed the call.
We’re not immune “to two weights, two measures” in the US either (e.g., Wall Street getting away with economic destruction, while the little guy pays the price) but for the most part, it doesn’t involve street violence.
It looks like someone is not interested in cleaning up the river.
“The whole thing lasted four or five hours until the police arrived. My father got hit in the head by six or seven people, with their fists. He is now feeling dizzy and sleeping all the time,” she added, claiming the attack had been orchestrated by local officials.
Calls to the mobile phone of the local Communist Party chief went unanswered on Wednesday.
We’re heading that way fast… only with more guns.
I foresee life as a meme for the bizarre “[You] used the internet, you always use the internet!” said by the mob.
China’s path to prosperity and national independence has been betrayed at every juncture by the CCP, a rancid collection of Stalinist’s and Maoist’s with a choke hold on government. They’re not plutocrats like Democrats and Republicans here but they might as well be.
It’s almost inevitable at this point that they’ll follow the Russian Stalinisit’s and try to liquidate the extremely deformed Chinese workers state and reintroduce capitalist norms. .
China: everything old is new again. In spite of its ritzy, world class cities China is still a backward hell hole of human abuse and explotation.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Except it’s not that far off.
Consider what happens whenever someone stands up as an object case for any kind of social reform — like that family without health insurance, who then had to endure harassment for weeks. “OMG, they have granite countertops! Fraud!” Or that guy in Newtown CT getting death threats because he took in a bus driver and a bunch of kids after the school shooting massacre. (Heck, right anybody who gets national attention in advocating for any gun control laws gets death threats now.) Or the very real danger anybody involved in providing safe & legal abortions has to face every day.
Or let’s get closer to the topic at hand: How many perfectly peaceful environmental activist groups have been investigated by the FBI in recent years as possible eco-terrorism suspects?
We can expect that here — and worse — when the Teabaggers and gun nuts are in control. | 2019-04-21T22:04:01Z | http://americablog.com/2013/02/environmentalist-in-china-beaten-after-calling-for-clean-river.html |

Tom Bansek, aquatic ecologist at the Flathead Lake Biological Station will present a program on changes that have occurred in Flathead Lake over the last 100+ years including water quality and monitoring efforts. Although Flathead Lake’s water quality is still some of the finest in the world, its ecological community has been greatly altered through both intentional and unintentional species introductions. The latest species threatening to change Flathead Lake forever are invasive mussels that were recently detected elsewhere in Montana.
Tom Bansak moved to the Flathead in the mid-1990s because of Glacier National Park and the Flathead Lake Biological Station. He completed his Master’s Degree at the Bio Station, examining surface-groundwater interactions on the Middle Fork Flathead River. Since then, he has gained extensive research experience on freshwater systems around Western North America, particularly the Flathead watershed and large salmon rivers around the Pacific Rim. Tom also has experience teaching ecology, and has led field ecology courses all over the West.
The Flathead Lake Biological Station is a University of Montana Center of Excellence that conducts ecological research with an emphasis on fresh water, particularly Flathead Lake and its watershed.

Hearings will continue over September's Merrimack Valley gas explosions with a state hearing scheduled next week.
Those directly affected got a chance to air their concerns during a special congressional hearing in Lawrence Monday.
Among those who spoke was Lucianny Rondon, sister of Leonel Rondon, the 18 year-old man killed in the explosions.
"We will not have the joy of seeing the wonderful man we know he would have become," Rondon said. "I stand in front of you in his honor. I will never have my brother back. But we hope there will be justice for him, and the community."
U.S. Sen. Ed Markey led Monday's hearing, and is among several politicians calling for executives to step down because of how the explosions were handled. He also questions whether they should continue their work in Massachusetts and beyond. | 2019-04-19T06:39:03Z | https://www.wbur.org/radioboston/2018/11/27/markey-columbia-gas |
Today officially started treatment. 5 days of chemo, then 3 weeks off. This was the first day and there was a lot of information to digest. Met with doctor, nurse coordinator, they even did a personal Power Point presentation!
The actual chemo drug is Decitabine and it is administered via IV. It only takes an hour. However, two out of the 5 days I have lab work first so they can check my blood counts and determine if I need blood or platelet infusion. Today, only a platelet infusion. It was about the same level as last week, which is good. It means my counts had stabilized and even gone up a bit.
How about those Cardinals? I was able to watch game during treatment. Interesting watching what other people do during treatment. Some type away on their laptops, others chit-chat, a lot just lay back and take a nap. With doctor and nurse visits, I didn’t really have much time to do anything else this day.
Missing you but you’re in good hands. Your blog is definitely one of high social substance. It will make a great digest for others who are also in this battle and to those who need their awareness raised. You are a diamond in the rough, to say the least.
What was the last thing I said to you…remember?? “Take care”.
Ok, you’ve been properly chastised, now the treatment begins. The medicos will be doing their thing, and I’ll be doing a little healing treatment too!
I’ve got plenty of prayer time available for you, and I know a real good one JUST for you.
Laughter is the best medicine! I’m not the short-sheet-the-bed or bed-pan-in-the-freezer type…but I have been known to do surprise underwear checks, so beware!
Love is a universal healing agent, and should be applied liberally to the effected areas. I’ll be sending you waves of love, deep from my heart, as you go through this.
If you need anything, your neighborhood buddies here will be happy to pitch in! You are such a positive guy, it will go a long way in getting you through this very quickly.
Thanks…my neighbors have been very helpful already. One is cutting my grass for me now.
Wonderful to hear the first round went great. Stay positive which I’m sure you will. I wouldn’t expect differently. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! We’ll definitely need a wing celebration when your done with all this! | 2019-04-24T19:58:38Z | https://jimschmitz.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/information-overload/ |

Looking ahead to chop down your investment to energize your startup business? Take a look through some of these to access the right value of cost reduction on your energy based resources while wheeling your business.
For almost every small-scale businesses, energy consumption has become a pretty big trouble to deal with nowadays. With an alarming increase in the price of the energy fuels motorizing heavy machinery in a factory or in a business project, maximum owners of the (Public Private Partnership Projects) PP projects are much inclined towards alternative sources of conventional sources of energy.
As it’s the only ways left for maximum small and medium scale business to reduce their investment cost and increase their revenue or profit from their businesses.
• Reducing their expenses for energizing the machinery and heavy power consuming equipment in their business projects, etc.
That’s why opting an alternative way to avoid the high-cost of availing the conventional source of energy is always considered as a wise treatment, when you are looking ahead to benchmark your business flawlessly.
Purchasing bulk electricity and natural gas a reliable retailer in a competitive market will always be a wise move from your side as you might unlock the chances to get a reduced price for availing one such source of energy. Often that might add the savings in your wallet and you might increase your revenue that you were expecting to drive for a specific financial year.
Often the business owners might switch their retail supplier of energy from one another whenever they hear about discount rates. Don’t follow this tradition, after all a business is just not about seeing your own profit, its also about building a congenial bond within your retailer or supplier chain too. Your reliability and trust upon your supplier are going to act truly when the market price of the entire energy sources and the gas rates are going to increase yet your long-term retailer is going to provide you a standard rate without making much change in the energy price they supply you.
Relying on the solar form of energy is always going to be a beneficial one in the long run, as its going to be the ultimate benefit for you when you are all set to save your hard earned bucks to minimize your investment. Solar power is considered one of the most trustworthy and reliable sources of energy consumption.
Through the years it had been like an artery providing life to various small and medium scale business projects located in different locations of Australia.

The Reconciliation Book Club is a new initiative inspired by The Federation’s Reconciliation Action Group and other participants of the 2018 Social Policy Forum. Their goal was to find new ways for Federation members to come together to talk about this important work and to create new opportunities for learning and dialogue related to reconciliation.
The Reconciliation Book Club will meet every other month to discuss a new book (via online webinar) chosen by our reconciliation action group members. Federation staff will facilitate and make available discussion questions, additional readings and resources, as well as author and publisher information.
Was the book what you expected? What was your favourite quote? Why?
How did the structure affect the book? What do you wish had been different?
What other books did this remind you of? Who/what did you most relate to? Why?
What was your initial reaction? Did the book hook you right away? Why?
What part was the most memorable? What part was the most challenging?
How reliable did you find the narrator to be? Did you feel like you got the ‘true’ story?
The Reconciliation Book Club is a benefit of membership in The Federation of Community Social Services of BC. The Book Club is open to: all staff from Federation member organizations; all staff from organizations that have agreements with The Federation; participants in The Federation’s Leadership 2020 program.

Do you want to start a book club of your own? Need even more great titles to read? Here is a list of dozens of other excellent reads by Indigenous authors.
The Inconvenient Indian distills the insights gleaned from Thomas King’s critical and personal meditation on what it means to be “Indian” in North America, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other. In the process, King refashions old stories about historical events and figures, takes a sideways look at film and pop culture, relates his own complex experiences with activism, and articulates a deep and revolutionary understanding of the cumulative effects of ever-shifting laws and treaties on Native peoples and lands.
A shocking exposé of the dark history and legacy of segregated Indigenous health care in Canada. The memories recounted by these survivors (from gratuitous drug and surgical experiments to electroshock treatments intended to destroy the memory of sexual abuse) are truly harrowing, and will surely shatter any lingering illusions about the virtues or good intentions of our colonial past. Yet, this is more than just the painful history of a once-so-called vanishing people (a people who have resisted vanishing despite the best efforts of those in charge); it is a testament to survival, perseverance, and the power of memory to keep history alive and promote the idea of a more open and just future.
Like thousands of Aboriginal children in Canada, and elsewhere in the colonized world, Xatsu’ll chief Bev Sellars spent part of her childhood as a student in a church-run residential school. These institutions endeavoured to civilize” Native children through Christian teachings; forced separation from family, language, and culture; and strict discipline. Perhaps the most symbolically potent strategy used to alienate residential school children was addressing them by assigned numbers only, not by the names with which they knew and understood themselves. In this frank and poignant memoir of her years at St. Joseph’s Mission, Sellars breaks her silence about the residential school’s lasting effects on her and her family, from substance abuse to suicide attempts, and eloquently articulates her own path to healing. Number One comes at a time of recognition—by governments and society at large—that only through knowing the truth about these past injustices can we begin to redress them.
This is a book like no other. Bev Sellars combines her keen insights, her studies in history and law, and her experience as a chief of an ‘Indian reserve’ in British Columbia to produce a book that will open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of life under federal government administration. This book will be a significant contribution to the nationwide campaign of Indigenous people to emancipate themselves from the Indian Act and its administrators in Ottawa. Their aim as Sellars explains is meaningful participation in the decisions that affect their rights and interests.
From declaring cultural ceremonies illegal, to prohibiting pool hall owners from granting Indigenous Peoples entrance, from forbidding the speaking of Indigenous languages, to the devastating policy that created residential schools, Bob Joseph reveals the hold this paternalistic act, with its roots in the 1800s, still has on the lives of Indigenous Peoples in Canada in the twenty-first century. This straightforward book is an invaluable resource. There is much for non-Indigenous people to learn and to do. But equally important, there is much to unlearn and to undo. The time is right for this book.’ ‘Increasing Canadians’ knowledge about the terrible foundation this country has been built on is a critical part of reconciliation. Bob Joseph has highlighted some of the unbelievable provisions of the Indian Act and how they have impacted First Nations in Canada and gives a brief overview of what we may replace it with going forward. His book provides helpful context to the dialogue that needs to take place in Canada.
In 2005, award-winning writer Richard Wagamese moved with his partner to a cabin outside Kamloops, BC. In the crisp mountain air, Wagamese felt a peace he’d seldom known before. Abused and abandoned as a kid, he’d grown up feeling there was nowhere he belonged. For years, only alcohol and moves from town to town seemed to ease the pain. In One Native Life, Wagamese looks back down the road he has travelled in reclaiming his identity and talks about the things he has learned as a human being, a man and an Ojibway in his fifty-two years.
Richard Wagamese stares the modern world in the eye and takes careful note of its snares and perils. He sees people coveting without knowing why, people looking for roots without understanding what might constitute rootedness, people looking for acceptance without offering reciprocal respect, and people longing for love without knowing how to offer it. And underneath all lurks the seductive oblivion of substance abuse. These are the pitfalls of his own life, dangers he hopes his estranged son, Joshua, will be able to navigate with the guidance afforded by this heartfelt memoir.
Indigenous resistance is a radical rejection of contemporary colonialism focused on the refusal of the dispossession of both Indigenous bodies and land. Simpson makes clear that its goal can no longer be cultural resurgence as a mechanism for inclusion in a multicultural mosaic. Instead, she calls for unapologetic, place-based Indigenous alternatives to the destructive logic of the settler colonial state, including heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation.
In her debut collection of short stories, Islands of Decolonial Love, renowned writer and activist Leanne Simpson vividly explores the lives of contemporary Indigenous Peoples and communities, especially those of her own Nishnaabeg nation. Found on reserves, in cities and small towns, in bars and curling rinks, canoes and community centres, doctors offices and pickup trucks, Simpson’s characters confront the often heartbreaking challenge of pairing the desire to live loving and observant lives with a constant struggle to simply survive the historical and ongoing injustices of racism and colonialism.
This Accident of Being Lost is the knife-sharp new collection of stories and songs from award-winning Nishnaabeg storyteller and writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. These visionary pieces build upon Simpson’s powerful use of the fragment as a tool for intervention in her critically acclaimed collection Islands of Decolonial Love.
In Unsettling the Settler Within, Paulette Regan, a former residential-schools-claims manager, argues that in order to truly participate in the transformative possibilities of reconciliation, non-Aboriginal Canadians must undergo their own process of decolonization. They must relinquish the persistent myth of themselves as peacemakers and acknowledge the destructive legacy of a society that has stubbornly ignored and devalued Indigenous experience. With former students offering their stories as part of the truth and reconciliation processes, Regan advocates for an ethos that learns from the past, making space for an Indigenous historical counter-narrative to avoid perpetuating a colonial relationship between Aboriginal and settler peoples.
Mink is a witness, a shapeshifter, compelled to follow the story that has ensnared Celia and her village, on the West coast of Vancouver Island in Nuu’Chahlnuth territory. Celia is a seer who (despite being convinced she’s a little “off”) must heal her village with the assistance of her sister, her mother and father, and her nephews. While mink is visiting, a double-headed sea serpent falls off the house front during a fierce storm. The old snake, ostracized from the village decades earlier, has left his terrible influence on Amos, a residential school survivor. The occurrence signals the unfolding of an ordeal that pulls Celia out of her reveries and into the tragedy of her cousin’s granddaughter. Each one of Celia’s family becomes involved in creating a greater solution than merely attending to her cousin’s granddaughter. Celia’s Song relates one Nuu’Chahlnuth family’s harrowing experiences over several generations, after the brutality, interference, and neglect resulting from contact with Europeans.
Harkening back to her first book tour at the age of 26 (for the autobiographical novel Bobbi Lee: Indian Rebel), and touching down upon a multitude of experiences she’s had as a Canadian, a First Nations leader, a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life, Lee Maracle’s My Conversations with Canadians presents a tour de force exploration into the writer’s own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation.
When Stella, a young Métis mother, looks out her window one evening and spots someone in trouble on the Break—a barren field on an isolated strip of land outside her house—she calls the police to alert them to a possible crime. In a series of shifting narratives, people who are connected, both directly and indirectly, with the victim—police, family, and friends—tell their personal stories leading up to that fateful night. Lou, a social worker, grapples with the departure of her live-in boyfriend. Cheryl, an artist, mourns the premature death of her sister Rain. Paulina, a single mother, struggles to trust her new partner. Phoenix, a homeless teenager, is released from a youth detention centre. Officer Scott, a Métis policeman, feels caught between two worlds as he patrols the city. Through their various perspectives, a larger, more comprehensive story about the lives of the residents in Winnipeg’s North End is exposed.
Ask any Canadian what “Métis” means, and they will likely say “mixed race” or “part Indian, part white.” Canadians consider Métis people mixed in ways that other indigenous people—First Nations and Inuit—are not, and the census and the courts have premised their recognition of the Métis on this race-based understanding. Chris Andersen argues that Canada got it wrong. He weaves together personal anecdotes, critical race theory, and discussions of history and law to demonstrate that our understanding of “Métis” (that our very preoccupation with mixedness) is not natural but stems from more than 150 years of sustained labour on the part of the state, scholars, and indigenous organizations. From its roots deep in the colonial past, the idea of “Métis as mixed” pervaded the Canadian consciousness through powerful sites of knowledge production such as the census and courts until it settled in the realm of common sense. In the process, “Métis” has become an ever-widening racial category rather than the identity of an indigenous people with a shared sense of history and culture centred on the fur trade. Andersen asks all Canadians to consider the consequences of adopting a definition of “Métis” that makes it nearly impossible for the Métis nation to make political claims as a people.
Children’s Literature (Kindgerarten to Grade 3). When a young girl helps tend to her grandmother’s garden, she begins to notice things about her grandmother that make her curious. Why does her grandmother have long braided hair and wear beautifully coloured clothing? Why does she speak another language and spend so much time with her family? As she asks her grandmother about these things, she is told about life in a residential school a long time ago, where everything was taken away. When We Were Alone is a story about a difficult time in history and, ultimately, a story of empowerment and strength.
In this important graphic novel, two Aboriginal brothers surrounded by poverty, drug abuse, and gang violence, try to overcome centuries of historic trauma in very different ways to bring about positive change in their lives. Powerful, courageous, and deeply moving, The Outside Circle is drawn from the author’s twenty years of work and research on healing and reconciliation of gang-affiliated or incarcerated Aboriginal men.
Youth Literature. Darcy writes letters from a group home to the victim of his bullying. Through his writing, he comes to understand how he can break his cycle of destructive behaviour and bullying.
Winner of 2017 Governor General’s Literary Award (Young People’s Literature). Humanity has nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but now an even greater evil lurks. The indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream. In this dark world, Frenchie and his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north to the old lands. For now, survival means staying hidden—but what they don’t know is that one of them holds the secret to defeating the marrow thieves. | 2019-04-19T12:52:39Z | https://fcssbc.ca/bookclub/ |

Not all condos in the Keys are created alike . . .
One of the biggest downside I hear from condo buyers is that many units feel like a box, with limited floorplans.
Not so at Ocean Harbour. These units have unique floorplans, and are some of the most spacious units in the Upper Keys. With two bedroom, three bedroom and even four bedroom units, these units break the norm and feel like a luxury home.
But it's not just the units that are so attractive. The grounds are immaculate. The grounds consist of beautiful, lush green spaces, a large free-form swimming pool, a marina and boat ramp, an oceanfront clubhouse, a private gym, large oceanfront tiki with BBQ area and covered parking.
Tucked away in a private and gated community off The Old Road, these units all have endless Ocean views and views of the grounds. They feature large kitchens and master bedrooms with ocean views, a private master bath and a dressing are with walk-in closet.
Located in Islamorada, Ocean Harbour is close to everything you'll need in terms of restaurants, shopping, medical needs, etc.

What Can You Purchase in the Florida Keys for Under $250,000?
The Florida Keys have long been known as an ideal destination in South Florida, either as a place to vacation or a place to live full-time.
The perception is that most places to live in the Keys are out of reach for many buyers. While it is true that the Keys are home to some of the most expensive real estate in South Florida, there are also places you can find for under $250,000.
Here is a list of all the properties in the Keys, from Key West to Key Largo. Many of them are condos, but there are also some single family homes. | 2019-04-24T14:09:07Z | http://www.floridakeysmarketupdate.com/2018/11/ |
Our Topsoil contains good basic fertility, organic matter and pH. It is a lighter density topsoil so that it won't dry out and harden up in the middle of summer like some darker soils do. You will need to purchase some vegetable or sod/seed specific fertilizer at a your local garden store to get the best results from your project.
There is no "Jack & the Bean Stalk" magic soil in Denver that contains all the trace minerals and nutrients needed for every type of lawn or garden project. I am from a farm in the Midwest, where we have some of the most fertile and productive soils on earth. We still went to the local fertilizer company and purchased a fertilizer blend every spring to grow the biggest crop of corn, soybeans and hay.
Example: 20 feet long by 60 feet wide = 1200 square feet. | 2019-04-22T22:51:39Z | http://sandfoursale.com/screened-black-topsoil.html |
From its launch, the Apple hasn’t allowed third party developers to create customer faces for the Apple Watch.
However, according to code in the latest developer’s build, first discovered by 9to5mac, this might be changing.
Until now, the company has only allowed Disney and Pixar to release special edition watch faces, so this would be a huge step forward for the Apple developer community. | 2019-04-24T06:30:18Z | https://syncni.com/news/718/10002/apple-could-finally-allow-third-party-apple-watch-face-support/tab/1356 |
Hey!How are you all doing?This is my third guide on TF2 of how to get good.In every guide, I go over 3 classes and tell you their weaknesses, strength's and what they are good at in general and in MvM.This time it is Demoman, Medic, and Soldier.Maybe if this article or my previous articles get at least 15 views, I will make a bonus easter eggs and map points article.
Demoman.In my opinion, I don't like him at all.But the Demoman is very handy at defending and attack.His sticky bombs that can be detonated with your gun can blow up directly under or even on someone!The Demoman is also one of the only classes who can get his bombs THE MOST inside the enemy base.That is just a LOL factor in my opinion.This can actually be a great combo as well.The medic can stand behind and heal him and others can supply cover fire and ammo.The Demoman can keep shooting and detonating bombs in the base while he doesn't die!In MvM he is good with clusters of scouts and medics especially pyros and other small units.The explosive damage can do good chunks of damage to the tank units but it isn't as effective as other classes.
The next class is the medic.
Medic without a doubt is the best at team support.It can provide healing to tank units and defend it team.It agility also gives it a better style.When your team is getting attacked hard the medic can resupply everyones health and go out to attack again.The Syringe Gun it has if shot at a teammate heals them.When shot at a enemy it hurts them.It has a pretty rapid fire-rate.The medic also has a Healer Gun which just heals teammates quicker if you don't want to waste any ammo with your Syringe Gun.The medic also has a melee weapon, the saw blade something like that.It is a weapon for close combat as says the name and it does do a good chunk of damage to enemy's.A lot of people have also believed that this fact is true,but no,I don't think or believe that the medic can heal himself with his syringe gun or healing gun.That's actuallly pretty ironic despite the fact it can heal everyone else but itself.In MvM the healer is good with providing health to people while the heavy units do major damage to them.
The last class on this guide.The Soldier class.
The soldier is a very good class for an attack.I use this class the second most before engineer.The soldier has an RPG that does the most damage by far in one hit.I forgot what his other weapons were.The Soldier is best known for his rocket jump ability with the amazing Rocket Jumper Gun.You can only rocket jump with that gun and not your original.The kill icon for the soldier is the Cannon next to someone's name.The soldier is an offensive class and he is bad at team support.He can deliver massive damage with his RPG only if it does the AoE damage next to them.AoE is short for Area of Effect.If the enemy moves out of the blast zone quickly then the RPG will have no effect.If however, they stay in then the RPG does major amounts of damage.In MvM he is good with clusters of Scouts and Tanky Heavy's Demoman Knights etc.
That's it for this guide.I hope you liked it, please like at the bottom of the page where the thumb icon is, share with your friends and please comment your feedback and what you think.I want to improve by what you guys say.THanks, enjoy your day. | 2019-04-20T18:26:20Z | https://www.bananatic.com/games/team-fortress-2-143/how-to-get-good-tf2-3-2459 |

Dungeon Keeper • View topic - FAQ: Guilds!
So what's so special about being in a guild? Why would I want to start or join one?
Aside from the social aspects of being in a guild, where you'll have access to guild chat (where you can ask questions, get strategy advice/opinions, etc.), guild members are also able to donate Minions to a "shared pool" from which other members may withdraw, to use in their own dungeons and raids. And lest we forget, there's also the element of working together towards common goals (ie, Guild Achievements). As these Achievements are completed, this serves to "level" the guild up; which, in turn, unlocks the ability to purchase some of the more tangible benefits of being in a guild: Guild Perks.
And as of Game Update #3 (released Apr 23, 2014), there are now Guild Tournaments!
To see the complete progression through Guild Level 30, click the View Perks button in the upper right-hand corner of your main Guild Info page.
What do you mean by purchase?
As mentioned above, as Guild Achievements are completed, and the Guild levels up, the ability to purchase Perks and their upgrades becomes unlocked. There is a gold cost associated with each tier of Perks, which becomes costlier the higher up you go. Members of a guild are able to collectively donate from their own personal Gold coffers to a communal "guild bank". These individual contributions are tracked and viewable on the main Guild Info page. It's important to note that there is a finite limit to each Guild Level's Gold donation cap. It won't be possible to continue donating Gold until the Guild manages to level via completion of Guild Achievements.
Technically, it's possible to level a guild by completing Achievements to any particular level without purchasing any Guild Perks, although we're not sure why you'd want to. Guild Perks, especially at the higher tiers, grant some pretty significant bonuses!
How do I know what level my guild is? Where does this surface?
When viewing the main Guild Info page (by selecting your Guild Lair room, then clicking on the Guild Lair button), you'll see the name of your guild at the very top. Immediately below this, on the left, is your guild's emblem, displayed on a banner in the upper-right corner. Immediately to the right of this is a status bar that shows your guild's progress towards Guild Achievements. On this bar, sits a red Horny silhouette, with your guild's level printed on it. Below this, you'll find the current number of members in your guild, and the Type (Public, Invite Only, or Closed).
How many Achievements are required to level up the Guild?
For the first few levels, it requires 2 new Guild Achievements to advance to each new level.
As the Guild levels up, the number of required new Guild Achievements increases.
So how do I start or join a Guild?
To do either, you'll first need to build a Guild Lair in your dungeon.
To start a guild, from the Guild menu (accessed by clicking on your Guild Lair), click the 'Start Guild' button in the upper-left corner. You'll receive a popup window where you can check to make sure that the name you want is available. Once ready to create your guild, click the 'Start Guild' button, which will also (as indicated) charge you 200 gems.
To join a guild, from the Guild menu (accessed by clicking on your Guild Lair), you can do a search a particular guild by their guild name. (And if you want an idea about what guilds out there might be recruiting, the Guilds section here on the forums is a GREAT place to search for one!) Once you've found the guild that you're looking for in the Search, you can highlight that guild, and click Join. Depending on the settings of the particular guild (and whether they currently have room; there's a maximum of 50 guild members), you might join right away, or have a request sent to the Leader and Lieutenants which must be approved before admittance, or the attempt to join may fail because there is no room, or the guild is set to Closed (not currently accepting new members).
Leader, Lieutenant and Regular Member.
There can only ever be one Leader, which initially is granted to the founder of the Guild. The Leader can promote members to Lieutenants, and demote Lieutenants to members. The leader is also able to kick both Lieutenants and members out of the Guild, in addition to being able to accept new members. The Leader may also promote a Lieutenant to replace him/her as Guild Leader... but it is important to note that should a Guild Leader choose to do so, they are in effect renouncing their own Leader status, and will be demoted to the status of Lieutenant. There is a confirmation window with a red warning button that hopefully serves to mitigate mistakes from happening. Please use extreme caution when promoting.
There can be an unlimited number of Lieutenants. Lieutenants can promote members to Lieutenants, and are able to accept new members and kick out existing members. They cannot kick out other Lieutenants, nor can they demote other Lieutenants.
Regular Members have no special permissions.
What happens if my guild leader goes inactive without promoting anyone to take their place?
Currently, there is no "autopromotion feature" that will replace an inactive guild leader. Nor is there a mechanism that allows active members to "vote kick" an inactive Leader.
Possible solutions have been, and continue to be, discussed by the game team.
These kinds of decisions are not made lightly... especially given the fact that there are a number of reasons why someone may need/want to be inactive for a period of time. And while there's a certain "communal ownership" felt by members of any particular guild (especially given the contributory facets of being in one), guild "ownership" still technically belongs to the person who plunked down 200 gems to start the guild.
Again, this is still under discussion; we've heard from several of you, from both sides of the argument. If and when a decision is made to implement something that allows for autopromotion due to an inactive guild leader, we'll be sure to let everyone know! | 2019-04-24T04:17:59Z | http://forums.dungeonkeeper.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3445 |
