There are many things that can cause stress in our lives, with a recent report from the Mental Health Foundation highlighting the most common.\nAs part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2018 the organisation published its report Stress: Are We Coping? This survey found that in the past year, 74 per cent of UK adults said that they’d felt so stressed at some point in time they didn’t feel able to cope or were overwhelmed.\nIt also identified the main causes of stress in people’s lives, with long-term health conditions, work and money named as the main things that make people stressed.\nOver one-third (36 per cent) of the adults who had admitted suffering from stress in the past year cited long-term health conditions that either they or a close friend or relative were suffering from as the cause of that stress.\nWork was also identified as a major stressor, with one of the challenges finding a balance between work and home life. Meanwhile, not having enough money to meet basic needs was named as a contributing factor to stress by 22 per cent of those surveyed.\nThe report also offered recommendations on how to deal with stress, which include recognising it as a problem and understanding the causes, examining your lifestyle and seeing if there is a way to make more time for yourself, and being mindful.\nA recent article in the Belfast Telegraph offered some advice on how to become more emotionally resilient and thereby cope better with stress. Top tips included letting go of the idea of perfection, finding balance and accepting yourself.\nThis can be easier said than done though, and you may want to seek help from a professional with therapy rooms in Central London to support you on your journey to better mental health.\nPosted in News and tagged therapy rooms central London on May 18, 2018 by mike.

As a born and bred Queenslander I’m not adverse to the heat. 40 degree (104F) days, whist hot, are not unbearable for me. Thankfully, living in Victoria, we have a different kind of heat. Still plenty of 40 degree days but the air is dry and you’re not having to swim in the humidity which makes it a lot easier to deal with.\nAfter our Saturday morning swimming lesson, we headed over to our local Jayco dealer to have a look (or dream!). The hubby having seen his cousin’s new caravan has a hankering for one too, so we went and had a little squiz.\nAfter getting home, having lunch, putting the girls down for a nap and getting myself ready, I headed out to our local drag strip where we were manning an information tent in the pit area for the visitors who had come to town.\nAnd even though it was hot, I love a bit of motorsport so it could have been worse!\nUnfortunately, the heat kept the spectators away, but the racing was fierce and the club had it’s highest ever level of entrants – around 130 or so which was great. The hubby bought the girls out and after I finished, I headed over to the spectator hill and enjoyed a nice balmy evening listening to the noise.\nThe girls loved it! Even with their ‘Ear Bungs’ on (thanks Miss B), they had a real sense of excitement and enthusiasm!\nAt around 10pm it was time to go home and get the little rev-heads home to bed!\nWhat did you get up to this weekend? Do you handle the heat well?

I know the trend right now is the all so popular DermaBlade and HydraFacial! So I decided to try them myself.\nI started with the DermaBlade treatment. What this does is it takes off the peach fuzz and top layer of dead skin on your face. Its like a super exfoliating treatment. This is a pain free treatment and it leaves your face feeling extremely soft and smooth. I highly recommend having this done by someone you trust, and A Beautiful You is definitely one of the only places I trust for this treatment.\nI followed with the HydraFacial . A HydraFacial starts with a deep clean, moves to a peel, then extracts any junk from your face, and ends with hydration and added peptides to promote glowing skin! You can really feel this treatment working during your session. Also there is a little container of your dirty water at the end where you can see all of the dead skin and debris that was removed from your face (I know yuck).\nA Beautiful You follows the treatment with either red light or blue light therapy to help calm the face, or treat acne, and fine lines and wrinkles, depending on which light is most appropriate for your skin.\nThey then top everything off with moisturizer and sun screen to make sure those harmful rays don’t hit your now delicate fresh skin when you leave the building.\nAll in all this is one of my favorite treatments! With all of the traveling, and work that I do, my skin really suffers, and this treatment has changed the game for me!\nAs always if you have any questions feel free to ask!

wHiding the WordPress dashboard area from users or non-admins is popular among WordPress site owners.\nRefunds happen to every business and no business likes to do refunds but it’s important that you do handle refund requests with high priority. Recently (around three to four weeks ago) I purchased products online from reputable online stores, however I never received the products for whatever the reason. This experience lead me to write this article. From a customer’s perspective it was a very terrible one. Here’s some things we do when processing refunds at Yoohoo Plugins.\nI recently came across a workshop type event that required user’s to fill out a contact form to reserve a space. Once the business would reply to you, you’d then have to manually make a payment to secure your spot. This seems like a few too many steps for this process.

Our Tuscaloosa defective medical device lawyers know transvaginal mesh products were sold by manufacturers with lots of promises to doctors and patients that the surgical mesh would make it easier to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). For thousands of women who began to experience complications after their TVM surgeries, however, the surgical mesh turned out not to live up to its promises. Now, a new study has demonstrated that transvaginal mesh is not only unsafe but also that it is ineffective. The study was conducted by Georgetown University and published in the September issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The results are alarming and every patient who has had a mesh procedure or who is considering one should be aware of what the research showed.

Having some extra moments I was checking out some sites I had not visited recently. One of them was Instapundit. It is a popular source of links with a different flavor than Drudge.\nOne of the headlines that caught my eye had to do with being overweight. I can identify with that. I struggle with weight as do many of you. What caught my attention was the hypothesis that it was “Easier to Be Skinny in the 80's”.\nThe basic data seems solid. They state that with the same input and output young people today seem to be about 10% heavier than the previous generation. Something has changed.\nThe author admits “Just what those other changes might be, though, are still a matter of hypothesis.” That does not stop him from getting on the PC soapbox. Guess what his first three conjectures are? First is an increase in chemicals such as pesticides, you know, the evil chemical companies. Second, increased prescription drugs because we know that the drug companies are blood suckers. His final suggestion is against those evil meat eaters. We all know that beef cattle are treated hormones and antibiotics that are changing our gut bacteria.\nHe doesn’t go anywhere near the changes mandated by the government in food processing. He doesn’t touch GMO foods. He says nothing about the products coming from China with lead and such. If I let my imagination go I can come up with all kinds of wild theories. To his credit he says no one knows just before he plants ideas in our heads.\nIf you are young and overweight you might enjoy reading this for some light guilt reduction. If you are older like me it is just light entertainment.\nI'm fat because, every night after midnight, Martians tie me down and force feed me Moon Pies and steroids!\nI was wondering what happened to all the Moon Pies.\nThey would rest their case but I have a few questions.

Students in the School of Urban and Regional Planning developed a connectivity master plan for Muscatine that evaluated current infrastructure and created a plan for better connectivity between walking and biking trails, sidewalks, streets, bus routes and major points of interest.\nStudents produced a map of locations based on points of interest ranked by city officials and community members, as well as an implementation plan that addressed connectivity paths based on priority. Muscatine was seeking to improve the connectivity of its transportation and recreation infrastructure, including biking and walking trails, sidewalks, roads and bus routes. Students engaged the Muscatine community by creating a channel for Muscatine on the Junaio app, where individuals could take a 360 degree tour of Muscatine's points of interest from a smartphone or tablet.

1 of 5Some notable features of the 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited are Harman/Kardon premium audio system with Bluetooth and a driver-assist system.\n2 of 5The 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited features a continuously variable transmission.\n3 of 5The 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited features a 2.5-liter 173-hp engine.\n4 of 5The 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited offers a luxury feel with perforated leather seats.\nNEWS EDITOR GREG MIGLIORE: I took the lead-off slot in this 2013 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited. It measures up well in this midsize segment. The car offers most of the standard stuff one expects for a Ford Fusion-fighter, but it adds a definite Subaru flavor. The company has its symmetrical all-wheel-drive system down cold, the cabin is basic and taut, and the appearance on the outside has a degree of class.\nA few aspects of the option package struck me, including the navigation system and lane-departure warnings. The nav is one of the clearest systems I've seen, returning detailed information about location and surroundings. At one point, it even showed the signs on the screen for Interstate 75 where the expressway was about to split. That's pretty slick. I found the electronic nannies to be a touch intrusive, as it seemed every time I put a wheel wrong I was flagged by the system for not perfectly maintaining lane position. It also kept me on my toes of a potential forward collision.\nThe cabin is nicely appointed, and this example is done up in black with handsome faux-wood trim and other elements. I actually found the seats to be a little too rigid, but still generally comfy and well-shaped. Maybe it was just one of those mornings.\nThe boxer four is reasonable, and for a modest rating of 173 hp, it offers enough punch. The CVT was fine. It's not my gearbox of choice, but it worked in this iteration.\nFor $30k, the Legacy is a solid value. It has a different character (slightly) in a rather crowded segment.\nASSOCIATE EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: I think the Legacy is moving the wrong way on the fun-to-drive scale. They've installed a CVT transmission, which ensures that no enthusiast would ever buy this car, the styling is blander than the outgoing model, and those damn beeps from the lane-departure and forward-collision sensors drives me crazy.\nThere must be a way to turn them off, but I couldn't find it. Every time you touch the white line, it beeps. If the Subie doesn't think you're slowing down fast enough, it beeps. I don't think I tried to merge into anyone, but I'd bet it would beep at that too. And I understand the theory, beep at someone when they're doing something wrong. I just thing the execution is bad.\nThe beeps do more harm than good. They are quite unsettling and if you yank the steering wheel back off the line you usually hit the opposite side. The forward collision stuff, again I get it, but at a stop sign, if you begin to accelerate before the car crosses your path, it beeps.\nThe CVT does its thing fine with no excitement or drama. It's not annoyingly slow, and that's all non-enthusiasts care about.\nI will give credit to a solidly designed chassis, with all-wheel drive, that gets more than 30 mpg on the highway. That is a true feat.\nDIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: Found 'em, Lingeman. The EyeSight and collision warning off buttons are near the moonroof controls on the overhead console. If I hadn't found them, I would have parked the car and driven the Triumph all weekend despite the rain.\nE-nannies aside, I came out of a weekend in the Legacy with mixed feelings. I'll never love CVT powertrains, but Subaru has programmed this particular unit to work well with the company's ubiquitous flat-four. The cabin is attractive and comfortable with lots of rear-seat legroom for the kids. But ride-and-handling -- usually a pleasure in Subaru models -- is where the Legacy really fell flat.\nTwitchy steering at highway speeds made it difficult to keep the Subaru in its lane without frequent corrections, made worse by surprising susceptibility to minor crosswinds. That means, of course, that if the driver hasn't found the off button for EyeSight, he or she gets bombarded by high-pitched beeping sounds every time the Legacy wanders off-course, resulting in a punishing feedback loop where the car audibly notifies the driver of its own shortcomings.\nOn smooth surfaces the Subaru was quiet and comfortable, but as soon as expansion joints, pothole patches or any other imperfections showed up, the Legacy got loud. Thuds and thunks over even minor flaws resonated throughout the cabin making a Detroit freeway drive unbearably percussive.\nOne wonders how many of these flaws are tire-related: After all, each of the major issues I noted could be attributed to a poor choice in rolling stock -- Bridgestones, in this case. But even in that case, I'm not sure which is worse: Questionable suspension design or equipping a decent car with terrible tires to save a few bucks.\nEither way, all but the most die-hard Subaru aficionados will continue to look elsewhere for a midsize sedan, and they'll be better off for it.

Recently, some colleagues of mine forwarded me this article from the Weekly Standard concerning the use of social science to delegitimize conservatism. There are some valid points in this article that the author uses to question specific studies. However, I think the author fails to understand the breadth of evidence that underlies most social science findings.\nSocial scientists deal with a far more complex subject than scientists who work with rocks or chemicals. Specifically, human beings have free will. They can decide to do or not do things in response to a stimulus. Further, because we care about human beings in a way that we don’t care about rocks, we can’t always design studies perfectly, as we have to respect the wishes of others. As such, all social science has problems of sampling and generalizability.\nBut the fact that all social science research has flaws doesn’t mean you should ignore it. For example, presidential polls have flaws, even with the author’s preferred sampling method, as question wording, non-response, and weighting to correct for non-response all introduce bias. While each poll is imperfect, each poll still give us some understanding of what is going on in the population. Perhaps more critically, different polls have different flaws, which means that if you aggregate across measures (e.g. see Nate Silver’s five thirty eight blog), you can get something close to the truth (the same principle underlies the Wisdom of Crowds). Yes, a survey of yourmorals.org volunteers or undergraduates or mechanical turk participants or randomly selected households who will answer a survey, is imperfect. Yes, artificial experiments, neuroscience correlations, and self-report are all imperfect. But they are all imperfect in somewhat different ways, and if you find the same thing across each of these samples using a variety of different methodologies, then you can be pretty confident of your findings.\nPersonally, I don’t believe any single study or paper, and a I wait to see if there is confirmation across research groups, methodologies, and samples before believing any research. This is true in social science and in other sciences as well. Andrew Ferguson, who wrote the Weekly Standard piece, is capitalizing on an intuition we all likely share, that so many studies out there report so many facts, many of them contradictory (e.g. is alcohol good for your health?), that we can’t help but question them. And we should. Individual studies and papers are not proof, and we probably shouldn’t report them as such. But much of this research that relates to liberal and conservative differences has many studies using many methodologies and samples behind them, and that is where we can be more confident. It is for this reason that I increasingly find myself drawn to computer scientists and data scientists who work on questions of aggregation, and as technology starts to pervade social science, my guess is that social science will move more towards aggregation and also place less emphasis on individual papers.\nI agree with Ferguson that pathologizing the other side isn’t helpful, but not because the science is wrong, but because the interpretation often is subject to bias. A lack of empathy can be thought of as an ability to make rational, competent decisions or heartlessness. Loyalty to one’s family can be thought of as noble or as nepotism. Reliance on one’s intuition can be thought of as indicative of common sense or of ignorance. But the fact that these things differ between liberals and conservatives are indeed facts, with as much evidence behind them as facts like cholesterol causes heart disease. The world’s knowledge graph will eventually encompass not just physical facts, but facts like these as well.

Discuss Aristotle’s Concept of Imitation.\nPeople speak of watching football, or boxing, as a catharsis of violent urges, or call a shouting match with a friend a useful catharsis of buried resentment. Aristotle says that being an imitation of an action, plot should imitate one action unity of action. The poet represents men as worse than they are. In his capacity to be moved by the wonder of a suffering fellow human, we wonder at him. Plato is a stern moralist who believes imitation perpetuates immorality.\nEpisodic plots are bad because there is no necessity to the sequence of events. Thus he gives a truth of an ideal kind. The poet selects and orders his material and recreates reality. Even scientific and medical treatises may be written in verses. Although his time at the academy was productive, Aristotle opposed some of Plato's teachings and may have challenged the Master openly.\nIt may be the action within the soul caused by all that befalls a man. But are there really no wonders that are ugly? Artistic imitation: A process of ordering and arranging. As the painter's eye teaches us how to look and shows us what we never saw, the dramatist presents things that never existed until he imagined them, and makes us experience worlds we could never have found the way to on our own. Aristotle's writings were the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality, aesthetics, logic, science, politics, andmetaphysics. The painter imitates through form and colour. They see the beauty in two men who have lost almost everything. In his fear of himself, on Priam's behalf, we fear for him, that he might lose his new-won humanity.\nwhat is aristotle concept of tragedy?\nPoet does not represent the outward appearance but represents deeper reality. Poetry and painting are imitations, but the medium of poet and painter are different. Some people turn to poetry to find delicious and exquisite new ways to feel old feelings, and consider themselves to enter in that way into a purified state. History tells us what actually happened; poetry what may happen. The fear is relieved in vengeance, and we feel a satisfaction that we might be inclined to call justice. The Tempest is a beautiful play, suffused with wonder as well as with reflections on wonder, but it holds the intensity of the tragic experience at a distance.\nNext in Section three, I will. Aristotle does understand tragedy as a development out of the child's mimicry of animal noises, but that is in the same way that he understands philosophy as a development out of our enjoyment of sight-seeing Metaphysics I, 1. Tragic Catharsis First of all, the tragic catharsis might be a purgation. Tragedy is about central and indispensable human attributes, disclosed to us by the pity that draws us toward them and the fear that makes us recoil from what threatens them. The circumstances or history behind the work are also insignificant during the assessment of its artistic value.\nHe studies the particular and devises principles of general application. It is obvious that the authors in our examples are not just putting things in front of us to make us cry or shiver or gasp. Term imitation was taken from Plato and Aristotle gave it wider and deeper significance. Aristotle is Ideas on Ethics are still wildly used in colleges today and his approach is still the springboard for resolving ethical problems and further Teleology. That suggests that the theater is just an arena for the manipulation of passions in ways that are pleasant in the short run and at least reckless to pursue repeatedly. He also brings in the element of universality by asking the poet to rise constantly from the particular to the general.\nThe tragic pleasure is a paradox. At the request of , he returned to Macedonia in 338 B. Oedipus or Antigone or Lear or Othello is somehow every one of us, only more so. But Stephano is not like the holiday fools who pay to see monstrosities like two-headed calves or exotic sights like wild men of Borneo. An example of this difference is the , created by Plato. This significance is there for the original author and audience, but also moves its reproduction and reception in and through time. Aristotle has not mentioned the third form of poetry.\nTragedy is never about flaws, and it is only the silliest of mistranslations that puts that claim in Aristotle's mouth. He likes to read books. Those who take the trouble to look at the Poetics closely will find, I think, a book that treats its topic appropriately and naturally, and contains the reflections of a good reader and characteristically powerful thinker. Thus, he brings human experiences, emotions and passions within the scope of poetic imitation. We can see that from his book The Republic.\nTragedy and epic represent men on a heroic scale, better than they are, and comedy represents men of a lower type, worse than they are. How do I know that Aristotle intends the imitation of action to be understood in this way? What is the effect on us of this recognition? In the best kind of plot, one character narrowly avoids killing a family member unwittingly thanks to an anagnorisis that reveals the family connection. Meaning a virtues person will act or do the right thing for the right reason, because doing the right thing makes us feel good. But how does the Iliad accomplish this? No affair art is perfect in its imitative procedure or art is flawed. A poet, when writes poetry, imitates nature in shape of poetry and makes copy of a copy, therefore, it becomes twice away from reality. Idealization is achieved by divesting the real of all that is accidental, transient and particular. If no one had the power to imitate action, life might just wash over us without leaving any trace.

In era where the spotlight is turning on pro athletes' use of the f-word, its pretty awesome to see Michael Irvin's embrace of gay rights. Irvin discovered his brother Vaughn was gay when he spotted him in women's clothes. His father had a plain message for him--"Yes, that's your brother. And you love your brother."\n"We went back to that day," Irvin says of the car ride in Fort Lauderdale, "and through it all, we realized maybe some of the issues I've had with so many women--just bringing women around so everybody can see--maybe that's residual of the fear I had that, if my brother is wearing ladies' clothes, am I going to be doing that? Is it genetic? I'm certainly not making excuses for my bad decisions. But I had to dive inside of me to find out why I was making these decisions, and that came up."\nYears with this secret have given Irvin a glimpse into the solitary confinement so many closeted athletes feel locked inside. "I'm not gay, but I was afraid to even let anyone have the thought. I can only imagine the agony--being a prisoner in your own mind -- for someone who wants to come out. If I'm not gay and I am afraid to mention it, I can only imagine what an athlete must be going through if he is gay...."\n"I don't see how any African-American with any inkling of history can say that you don't have the right to live your life how you want to live your life. No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. When we start talking about equality and everybody being treated equally, I don't want to know an African-American who will say everybody doesn't deserve equality."\nI don't to nitpick and get pedantic here, as I am wont to do in these moment. I just want to say that this is beautiful thing.\nProps to the Dish for the link.\nMORE: One other thought--I really appreciate the introspection here. Irvin, because of his own checkered biography, has been forced in these recent years into this sort of soul-searching. I don't know what that means for his future, but I think that its always a good idea to look at the struggles of other communities with an enlightened selfishness. It's always a good idea to look at how our societal sickness doesn't just infect the intended victims, but so very often rebounds back upon us.\nHomophobia, as Irvin points out, is--like white racism--more than just yelling "Die Mutie scum." You can't hate black people without hating a significant swath of this country's history and culture. Likewise a disapproval of gays--and gay men, in particular--is, on some level, a disapproval of all things feminine, and thus a disapproval of some essential part of all ourselves.

If you are thinking about learning to educate British abroad, there is lots to consider. Which country would you like to visit, do you know the best methods and, finally, how can you get a job? Teaching abroad could be a rewarding experience, but how can you really do it?\nSo that you can educate British abroad, you need to determine which country you need to visit. The options are endless. Lots of people decide to go to Countries in europe like The country, Germany or France, or Middle Eastern countries such as the Uae, Oman or Kuwait. Still, others decide to instruct students in Parts of asia like Japan or India.\nYou are only restricted to your personal wants and needs. Would you like to feel the good reputation for Europe, the short pace of Asia’s greatest metropolitan areas or even the culture from the Middle East?\nThere are a variety of the way accustomed to educate a non-native speaker. The word what includes lots of idiosyncrasies and oddities which will make it hard to educate and discover. Prior to going to a new country to educate British, research different ways to assist.\nYou should use an immersion approach to educate British. This is when you just just speak British and little else. Students will get such things as inflection, but they’ve already issues with writing. If you are using a conventional textbook method, your students may lose out on how you can hold an all natural conversation.\nRather, think about a combination. You are able to speak only British (that is good if you do not speak the native language), and still provide written instructions for assignments within the students’ native tongue. Carrying this out ensures they are fully aware what’s expected of these and they will not lose out on a project simply because they did not know very well what these were designed to do. They’ll submit any assignments in British, meaning they’ll have the ability to read, in addition to comprehend the spoken word.\nRegardless of what method you choose to use, you need to be flexible. Teaching is definitely an in-the-moment profession and you ought to not be afraid to change tactics in the center of a lesson. It’s the opportunity to do that to help you be a dynamic teacher.\nTeaching jobs aren’t limited simply to schools. While you can obtain a teaching position inside a typical school dealing with children, many universities and institutions offer language classes for various students. Your students might be traditional university students or perhaps business person searching to provide themselves a benefit within the workplace. Some companies even hire dedicated teachers for his or her employees, meaning your work might be having a company abroad.\nYou are able to achieve to certain companies before you decide to arrive overseas or only be there to check out work. Coming inside a country with no employment, however, could be tricky. You will find frequently visa needs and limitations about how lengthy you are able to remain in a rustic with no employment. If you are searching to remain somewhere and educate lengthy term, you may be disappointed if you cannot get a job going this route.\nThe answer may be to achieve to a business that can help provide placement services for individuals attempting to educate British overseas. These businesses normally have open jobs and contracts with local companies which means you know you are likely to have the means to support yourself when you are for your overseas destination.

Security software is vital for both individuals and business users to protect their hardware and software from harm caused by malware or cyber attacks. Here are some of the benefits of having a good security system in place on your devices.\nMany people will download security software and go on to develop few security threats, causing them to think that the risks of being connected to the internet are minimal. What they don’t realise, however, is what is going on in the background. For example, their firewall is acting as a barrier between their device and the World Wide Web whilst their antivirus and anti-spyware elements are busy analysing and fending off a range of malicious software and viruses to keep them out of harm’s way. Anybody who has been unfortunate enough to have been targeted by cyber crime, whether they have a suitable security software package installed or not, will be only too aware of the power of attackers and how quickly vulnerabilities can lead to disaster.\nBy downloading a robust security software system, you can feel confident that your personal, business or customer data is protected from random or targeted attacks. It can also ensure you are free to communicate globally without the worry of secure conversations over the net or the fear of opening attachments that might corrupt your systems. Many modern packages are designed to alert when an intruder is near and stop them before any damage can be made or any information can be taken. This means that advanced systems are in a position to act quickly in an emergency.\nEmployees using devices for work purposes should not be faced with worries about internet security. With attackers becoming more intelligent, enterprise security is more important now than ever (see https://www.entrust.com/3-reasons-enterprise-security-important-now-ever/). A robust security system like that offered by Endpoint Security Management at https://www.promisec.com/ can provide the peace of mind your workers need to perform their job to the best of their ability. Additional fraud detection and compliance features also enable employees to feel comfortable that any sensitive information is not going to be leaked.

The piece of beef looked sooooo inviting, so just you-can’t-possibly-leave-me-on-the-shelf kind of way that, even though it was a little bit too big, I had to buy it. Slowly cooked for hours in the oven, it just melts in your mouth, and it stays that way the day after too ;-), that’s when I prepared this little nibble. Just add a little bit of crunch for contrast and there it is.\nserve with the meat on the side.

The Winstead’s two Harwich properties offer something for everyone: Sun worshipers and relaxation seekers gravitate toward the 14-room manse situated on a private beach, while families enjoy the recently expanded, bike-path-adjacent 15-room estate in the heart of town, just a mile and a half from the sea. All are treated to a gratis continental breakfast and in-season afternoon treats.\nWelcome to The Winstead Inn And Beach Resort in Harwich and Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. There are many reasons our town is so special to so many generations: delight in the natural beauty, the thriving art and cultural pastimes, the fishing heritage and the fresh seafood offerings. We hope you enjoy your seashore experience and remember the Winstead in your planning.\nThe Winstead Inn is situated in the village of Harwich in a residential area one block from the town center with easy access to the Cape Cod Rail Trail (for bicycling, jogging and walking). The property consists of two buildings: the main building (with thirteen rooms and suites) and the Chandlery (originally a town store dating back to 1900) with two units (Port and Starboard). For Inn guests, a heated outdoor salt water pool with gardens, as well as a patio area with fountain, are available for your pleasure. The pool is open Memorial Day weekend thru Columbus Day weekend. Guests staying at the Winstead Inn have full use of the amenities at the Beach Resort situated 1.5 miles south on Nantucket Sound. A private car is available to shuttle Winstead Inn guests to the Beach Resort during the high season.\nThe Beach Resort commands a spectacular beach front location with our exclusive guest-only private stretch of Nantucket Sound, boasting the warmest of Cape Cod waters. A short scenic stroll into Harwich Port provides shopping and various dining experiences. Here, you can truly park your car until it’s time to leave.

Several golf courses and other amusements such as miniature golf, tennis, zip line and go-carts are in the local area.

A recent interview with GSDAR President Linda Lee inspired me to write a few tips for my clients about beating cash offers in multiple-offer situations.\nWe go the extra mile to connect with the listing agent. Sometimes all it takes is an extra phone call, email, or compliment to the listing agent. We are experts at putting our (and your) best foot forward, and listing agents always want to choose an offer represented by a REALTOR they know will be easy to work with throughout the transaction. Work with us and expect success!\nIt benefits you to be presented as a real family or person. Allow some personal details to be conveyed in the offer, like a short description of what you do for a living, or how this house is perfect for your family size. Many of the competing cash offers will be from investors who have very little personal interest in the property. Sellers like to know they are selling to people, not companies.\nWe like to explain on your offer why this area is perfect for you. Maybe it is closer to family, school, or work, close to your church, or near a place of nostalgia. Sellers like to see why you are committed to buying their property and sticking with it until the end of the deal.\nYour pre-approval must be bullet-proof! Get it from a nationally recognized lender, or one of our preferred brokers. Make sure your loan officer details the amount you are financed for, including some wiggle room, and what paperwork has already been reviewed. Sellers like knowing you have completed most of the loan process before making an offer.\nIts a tough market out there, and you might not get the first property you make an offer on. Sometimes your offer is reviewed by bank employees or estate administrators who only have an interest in their bottom line. Don't lose hope! The perfect property is out there for you.

Many leaders do not make a distinction between organizational climate and organizational culture. Most organizational behavior scholars do. I see climate and culture related but with important differences. As a consultant and as a manager, I have found climate much easier to change. Culture is deeply embedded and very difficult to change.\nOrganizational culture – concerned with “implicit values, beliefs, and assumptions that employees infer guide behavior, and they base these inferences on the stories, myths, and socialization experiences they have and the behaviors they observe (especially on the part of leaders) that prove to be useful and promote success” (p. 381).\nKnowing the culture: if you know your culture, you can compare it with the culture of other organizations, such as those in the same industry, and benchmark.\nChanging the culture: “Somewhat limited direct influence on effecting change” but can initiate interventions “to reduce gap between existing and desired cultures” (p. 379).\nLeveraging culture for competitive advantage: Make culture an asset through “unique mission statement enacted by support for the unique processes necessary to embed the mission’s values . . .” (p. 380).\nStudies show that replacing a manager perceived negatively by employees with a manager perceived positively can change the climate. Climate can be changed. Culture – very difficult.\n2. Organizational feedback surveys are a good way to assess aspects of climate. I used these for many years as a consultant. Gather the information, summarize, and then cascade back through the organization. Where issues are identified, form action teams to work the issues. Do these annually and demonstrate that they have a positive impact and each year the quality of the feedback will improve.\n3. In The Optimistic Workplace Shawn Murphy noted that “people in positive work environments outperform those who work in negative work climates by 10 to 30 percent” (p. 9). Most importantly Murphy lays out a roadmap for leaders, even those not in leadership positions, to effect positive workplace climate change through workplace attitudes and behaviors. If you want to change the climate of your workplace, this is a good place to start.\n4. In Decoding the Workplace I discuss the impact of culture and how difficult it is to change: “It is the bedrock of the organization and it could take an earthquake to shift the landscape” (p. 93). Culture is pervasive. We are like fish in water unaware of the water. “Culture gives members of an organization a common lens to look through to make sense of events around them” (p. 97). We can often see the surface aspects of culture if we are attentive but the underlying assumptions may be hard to see.\n5. For leaders looking for a competitive advantage through culture, I suggest taking a good look at how employees are treated. Do you see employees as costs or as assets? The organization’s underlying assumption about its people is telling. As Wayne Cascio (University of Colorado – Denver) has demonstrated, treating employees as costs can result in layoffs often with “disastrous” consequences, especially in knowledge-based organizations. I highly recommend his book, Responsible Restructuring.\nBallard, J. A. (2015). Decoding the workplace: 50 keys to understanding people in organizations. Santa Barbara, CA: Praeger.\nCascio, W. F. (2002). Responsible restructuring: Creative and profitable alternatives to layoffs. San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler.\nMurphy, S. (2015). The optimistic workplace: Creating an environment that energizes everyone. New York: AMACON.\nScheider, B., Ehrhart, M. G., & Macey, W. H. (2013). Organizational climate and culture.

Whenever a new study is published linking a specific gene or SNP to a particular trait or health risk I go rushing to my DNA results to see what I have, so I thought I would share how I do that.\nMy latest worry is my coffee drinking habit.\nThere are so many coffee and caffeine studies that I am totally confused about what I should be doing. One caveat is that most of these studies are far from comprehensive and all of them need to be taken with a grain of salt. Have they really factored out all the other possibilities that could cause this result? Let’s face it, it’s early days yet in understanding what specific genetic variants do.\nPersonally when I read one of these articles, the first thing I do is google that gene name to find the associated SNP’s “rs” number so that I can find that variant in my results. For example let’s look at rs762551, a SNP involved in the metabolizing of coffee.\nWhile it is easy to look up a gene or SNP if you have tested at 23andMe or GENOS by using their browse raw data functions, what if you have only tested at Ancestry.com ? Or Family Tree DNA, which has deliberately chosen not to test health related SNPs?\nIt’s actually pretty easy to look up a SNP in your raw data if you have downloaded it.

This report summarizes the work done during the first three months of 2016. Another empirical study, on moral priming, has been completed and documented. Work has begun on two new projects: focus groups with dentists and patients and the survey of dental ethics educators.\nThe standard assumption is that one’s moral habits are in place early in life, but ethics education, if it is of very high quality and persisted in over time, can bend these habits generally and somewhat permanently. This has proved to be very hard work. Circumstances in dentists’ practice lives seem to undermine application of good theory. Another approach would be to adjust the circumstances to favor hoped for behavior. Research in other fields shows we can prime others to bring forth the best of their moral character. A study was conducted with a group of dentists showing that the same practitioners respond differently to standardized moral issues depending on whether they respond imagining themselves to be leaders in the profession or typical practitioners. Moral priming is an easy, if rather short-lived, way to promote higher levels of professionalism. The effect also explains why the path to high ethics always seems so much clearer when we attend meetings to discuss matters than when we get home and start doing dentistry.\nA formal journal article describing this research will appear in the winter issue of the 2016 Journal of the American College of Dentists. A draft of the paper can be seen at www.davidwchambers.com/current-work/.\nA center-piece of the ACD Gies Ethics Project is listening to practitioners and patients. Focus groups of about eight to twelve similar individuals have traditionally been used in market research to understand how matters stand in the eyes of important others. Such groups can be used to help frame the important issues or to “test drive” potential solutions. We will only be involved with the first type. To date, I have listened to one group of young leaders in the profession in Ohio, two groups of practitioners in Maryland, and two groups of patients in San Francisco. Coming up next are patients in North Carolina, senior dental leadership in California, and dentists and patients in Oklahoma.\nIn 1998 the accreditation standards for US dental schools were changed to require competency in ethics of all graduates. That stimulated attention to ethics curricula and support materials. It is generally thought that there has been wide variation in how these programs have been implements from school to school. In an effort to find out, a survey will be conducted of dental ethics educators to see what they do, what they think the addressable issues are, and what resources they stand in need of.

This valuable nutrient is a powerful antioxidant that has many essential roles in the body. It is vital for providing energy to cells, promoting cell growth and protecting cells from damage. It has benefits for heart health, protects against degenerative diseases, and promotes better health in general, especially for older people.\nCo-enzyme Q10, also called CoQ10 or ubiquinone, is a fat soluble compound that is produced naturally in the body. It is ubiquitous, meaning it is found everywhere. Co-enzyme Q10 is best known for its vital function in the production of energy inside cells. It is en essential part of the mitochondria, tiny organs found in cells, which take fat and other substances and convert them into usable energy. This process always requires co-enzyme Q10, in fact it is essential for 90% of cellular energy production.\nThe heart, skeletal muscle, liver and lungs all use large amounts of energy and therefore co-enzyme Q10 is particularly concentrated in these tissues. Smaller amounts are centered in the brain, kidneys, and intestines, and the rest is in general circulation throughout the body for use as needed.\nCo-enzyme Q10 is used to promote cell growth, protect cells from damage and is important in the fight against ageing. This is why it is often listed as an ingredient in anti-ageing creams.\nCo-enzyme Q10 also plays a critical role in maintaining the body's supply of Vitamin E. When Vitamin E is 'used up' in its role as an antioxidant protector of cell membranes, coenzyme Q can 'recharge' it, and restore its antioxidant capability.\nNumerous studies into co-enzyme Q10 have found that it has benefits for cardiovascular health, including helping heart failure and other degenerative heart diseases in which the heart muscle needs protection from oxygen damage, like angina, arrhythmia and hypertension.\nA number of factors including age, illness, cholesterol-lowering drugs and poor nutrition can all decrease the body's ability to produce its own co-enzyme Q10.\nA deficiency in this nutrient results in less cellular energy and diminished protection against oxidative stress, which can lead to the production of free radicals that damage proteins, fats and DNA, allowing degenerative diseases to develop.\nStudies have reported dramatic decreases in CoQ10 levels and increased oxidative stress associated with the aging process and with many age-related conditions. Healthy people in their 20s readily produce all the CoQ10 they can use, but this ability becomes hindered as years go by through metabolic demands and oxidative stress.\nTherefore receiving adequate supplies of CoQ10 is especially important for middle-aged people for supporting and maintaining cardiovascular, neurological and liver health, as well as better overall health. Co-enzyme Q10 is also a powerful antioxidant, so it also defends against oxidative stress and age-related conditions.\nThe richest food sources of co-enzyme Q10 are meat, poultry and fish, especially organ meat. Other good sources include soya bean and canola oils, nuts and seeds. There are also small traces found in fruit, vegetables, eggs and dairy products.\nCo-enzyme Q10 is also available in supplement form, as ubiquinone or the reduced form of the compound, ubiquinol, a form that has found to be more easily absorbed into the bloodstream. Co-enzyme Q10 is fat soluble, so supplements should always be taken with some type of dietary fat.

It is not normal to be able to automatic hide ISM but its collision to be present!?!?\nAre you hiding or unchecking visibility? What steps can I take to reproduce this on my end?\nI create one blueprint actor (BA) containing one ISMC under Scene Component.\nIn game mode (runtime mode, procedural generating content) I create many BA and set "Set Max Draw Distance" (in LOD) to some value.\nWhen Pawn is moving and respective BA actors hides, their collision is staying and I can't walk through them even they doesn't show.\nThis is expected behavior. Max Draw Distance affects the rendering of an actor, not the collision. To affect collision, you will need to change it via blueprints or c++.\nIts mean that I need to check on each Pawn move which BA actors are above this "Max Draw Distance " number? It is ridiculous. If I have 1m BA all my performance will go to that check!\nNot necessarily. You can, by contrast, do a sphere collision around your player character that disables collision on end overlap with any actors that you wish, ignoring those that require persistent collision (if any). Then, when they overlap the player's sphere again, return collision. This will allow you to control which actors have collision without having to depend on framerates to be able to do so.\nAlternatively, you can, on a timer send out a sphere trace around the player to a specified distance and turn off any actors not within that sphere. If the sphere is large enough there is never a chance that an actor will not be caught within the sphere's collision trace and as a timer it shouldn't have a dramatic impact on performance because it is still not framerate dependent. Relying on tick is the least desirable option of several because it would not be optimized, so in the long term won't be nearly as viable or performant as other options that would be less intensive.

Cross-cultural and neuropsychological perspectives on shamanism reveal that it produces an adaptive integrative mode of consciousness. Shamanic altered states of consciousness (ASC) are related to brain organization and processes, showing shamanism's concern with socioemotional and self functions of the paleomammalian brain and cognitive capacities based in presentational symbolism, metaphor, analogy, and mimesis. Integration of cross-cultural and neurological perspectives illustrates homologies which reveal the psychobiological basis of shamanism and soul journeys, guardian spirits, death and rebirth, and other universal forms of shamanic cognition.\nShamanic contributions to sociocultural and cognitive evolution are examined. The integrative mode of consciousness produced by shamanic ASC is related to general brain functions. Specific psychophysiological functions of ASC and their variations cross-culturally are illustrated. Shamanic soul journey, possession, and meditative forms of consciousness are examined from phenomenological, neurological, and epistemological perspectives which reveal them to be innate forms of cognition and practices for manipulating perception, attention, cognition, emotion, self, and identity. Shamanistic healing involves physically and culturally mediated forms of adaptation to stress which are reinforced by procedures eliciting opioid release. Therapeutic effectiveness of shamanistic practices are illustrated by clinical research. Shamanistic healing includes procedures for altering physiological, psychological, and emotional responses. Contemporary spontaneous religious experiences and illness characterized as spiritual emergencies have shamanic roots and illustrate the continued relevance of shamanic paradigms.\nMICHAEL WINKELMAN is Senior Lecturer & Director, Ethnographic Field School, Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University.

I went to an aquaponics workshop in Buffalo last weekend. I thought I would learn how to do small-scale raising of fish (in small barrels), perhaps with hydroponic lettuce on top of the barrels, but the techniques discussed turned out to be more large-scale than that. The other people in the workshop were all farmers with large greenhouses, not city dwellers. So I left the workshop early and went to the Albright Knox Gallery instead.\nFunny thing happened at the border.\nCrossing into the U.S., the Customs fellow asked me the purpose of my trip. "I'm going to a workshop," I said. "On what?" he asked. I didn't want to use any word (such as aquaponics) that sounded anything like hydroponics, so I said "raising fish."\n"What do you need a workshop on that for?" he barked. "You just throw some fish in water and they grow." He didn't say this in a friendly way at all.\nCrossing into Canada coming home couldn't have been more different. A punky-looking Customs guy with spiked hair asked me the same question about the purpose of my trip to the States. "I went to a workshop and the Albright Knox," I said. "Sounds like a very cultural afternoon," he said.\nI laughed and responded with, "well, it was a workshop on raising fish."\nlove that you're posting on a more regular basis.

Majoring in special education gives you the opportunity to make an impact on the lives of truly exceptional individuals. Intervention specialists are perhaps the most versatile teachers in the field. They must be competent to teach every curricular subject while working hard to understand the widely varied and specific needs of their students.\nExceptionalities in special needs students may be physical, learning, emotional, cognitive, developmental or a combination. As a teacher, you empower them to relate to their surroundings in a way they can understand and help them to progress beyond their limitations.\nThe passion of the faculty to create the best teachers possible is evident in the demand for Urbana U’s Intervention Specialist: Mild to Moderate degree program graduates.\nYour field experience and student teaching experience provides you with the opportunity to observe skilled intervention specialists and practice what you learn, which is a valuable stepping stone to your first job as a special education teacher. Students are placed at partner schools with teachers who have significant experience in the field and demonstrate excellence in teaching practices.\nUrbana’s Special Education major prepares you for licensure and a career working as an intervention specialist. While most intervention specialists work in schools with children, unique and important opportunities exist to use your education to assist young adults and adults as well.\nBoth government and private agencies need trained professionals to create and coordinate transition plans to help in vocational training and job placement, career and technical education; teaching appropriate life skills; and securing services to aid in their independence.\nYou may also decide to attend graduate school to expand your marketability into careers in social work, educational audiology, art or music therapy, occupational or physical therapy, counseling, psychology, or speech pathology.

If you are going to squirrel ill-gotten money in an offshore tax haven, you need the mental acuity and swiftness of a mountain lion -- not a squirrel, or in the case of a married San Diego couple, an opossum.\nTerry and Susan Brunning now repose in a Mexico City prison, fighting extradition to the U.S. They face a criminal indictment in San Diego on 15 counts of bankruptcy fraud, money laundering, criminal forfeiture, and conspiracy.\nBut could the stumbling Brunnings pull off a conspiracy? "They do seem to keep shooting themselves in the feet," says Leslie Gladstone, trustee of the Brunnings' Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, which fell apart when she and government investigators realized the couple had massively concealed assets belonging to the bankruptcy estate, including a bit more than $1 million they had stashed in the offshore tax-and-secrecy haven of the Isle of Man, an island in the Irish Sea where hush-hush banking accounts for more than 40 percent of the economy.\nOften in the U.S., a shady lawyer, specializing in tax havens, plots an offshore stashfest for clients -- and also, occasionally, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy that gets creditors off the stashers' backs. But the Brunnings committed so many blunders that "it appears as though they did it on their own," says Faith A. Devine, assistant U.S. attorney, who is prosecuting the criminal case in San Diego.\n"I don't know if they had attorneys, but if they did, they were not well counseled. They have not acted wisely," says Gladstone.\nThe Brunnings owned two Postal Annex Plus franchises -- one on Shelter Island Drive, the other on West Point Loma Boulevard. They did not have significant criminal records, although Terry Brunning had been convicted of a misdemeanor almost two decades ago, according to Devine.\nThe couple had problems at Postal Annex. "We did not have the smoothest relationship with them," says Patrick Edd, executive vice president of the company. "There were back monies owed us. They had not kept up with royalties and advertising fees. They were having landlord problems" and also had unhappy suppliers, he says. "We didn't force them to sell; they came to that conclusion by themselves."\nThe pair lived on their 57-foot sailing yacht, the Windsong, which was located at Shelter Pointe Hotel & Marina on Shelter Island. "They just seemed like ordinary folks. They paid their bills," says Steve Carr, who manages the marina.\nBoth Edd and Carr have been interviewed by federal agents. The Internal Revenue Service, Department of Homeland Security, and Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigated the matter.\nAccording to the indictment, the Brunnings stashed $1 million and another $58,000 at two Isle of Man institutions between mid-2000 and mid-2002. In early 2002, they sold the Postal Annex franchises for $75,000 in cash and a promissory note for $155,000.\nIn August of 2002, they filed for Chapter 7, or liquidation bankruptcy, "to discharge their outstanding debts to financial institutions, government agencies, and other third parties, while maintaining control over and access to property of the bankruptcy estate by means of fraud, concealment, and misrepresentations," according to the indictment. In other words, the Brunnings wanted to dump their debts, emerge as virgins, but fraudulently keep the assets that by law belong to the bankruptcy estate under control of the trustee. And by keeping their nest egg offshore, they would dodge taxes.\nThey filed the bankruptcy in pro per -- that is, they had no lawyer assist them. Now get this: The Brunnings, under penalty of perjury, swore that they had no boat, even though they lived on one. They solemnly swore they had no cars; they had a Jaguar and a Rolls-Royce. They said they had no accounts receivable, even though the promissory note for $155,000 was known by the franchise buyers and lawyers. The Brunnings swore they had no offshore financial accounts, despite the $1 million-plus on the Isle of Man.\nA San Diego lawyer tipped off Gladstone to the $155,000 promissory note. Gladstone told them to turn it over immediately. Soon, "A woman called my office to find out the procedure for filing a claim. She said she was owed $300,000 by the Brunnings," says Gladstone.\nNext came a claim from one Donna Kerns, wanting the proceeds from the trustee's sale of the promissory note. Donna Kerns, investigators learned, is a fictitious person.\nNow hear this: On October 27, Terry Brunning sent a letter to the trustee under the phony name of Donna Kerns, asserting a claim against the bankruptcy estate. On October 30, Susan Brunning also sent a letter under the fictitious name of Donna Kerns, making the same claim. Both Brunnings, three days apart, attempted to forge the handwriting of the same nonexistent person. That certainly made it easier for handwriting experts. In my 40 years of following dubious characters, I can't remember an occasion when two different people, married, tried to forge the same handwriting a few days apart.\nTerry Brunning, himself a notary, also forged a notary's signature, according to Devine.\nIn their bankruptcy filing, the Brunnings said they had assets of $0 to $50,000 (obviously not true) and debts of $100,000. Actually, "The debts are close to $2 million, primarily owed the Internal Revenue Service for penalties," says Gladstone. Hmmm.\nIn late October of 2002, the Brunnings left the U.S. for an extended sailing trip to Mexico aboard Windsong. Then they asked an Isle of Man bank to transfer $1 million to a Mexican bank. Obviously, the Brunnings had not kept up with post-9/11 offshore-banking practices. Many offshore institutions, including those in the Isle of Man, have pledged to monitor and report suspected money laundering, although many people question whether such promises are sincere.\n"It is not unheard of for an offshore bank to report a transfer of funds to keep the funds domiciled locally" on the pretense of cooperating with anti-money-laundering laws, says Jay Adkisson, an Orange County-based expert on offshore banking. He doesn't know the specifics of this case.\nThe Brunnings' bank reported the attempted transfer to anti-laundering authorities on the island, and when those authorities learned that the Brunnings had filed for bankruptcy in the U.S., the island's court slapped on a restraining order banning any funds transfer.\nThen Susan Brunning pulled out an old one. She asked the Isle of Man court to release funds because she was separated from Terry Brunning -- in fact, seldom saw him. "In typical cases, they put the wife out there, saying she is an innocent spouse," says Devine. Investigators determined they were still living together on the yacht, and this caper is part of the indictment.\nLast month, Mexican authorities arrested the couple in Puerto Vallarta and dispatched them to a Mexico City slammer, where they are no longer living the yachters' lifestyle.\nBut they have some reasons to chuckle. In keeping with questionable offshore practice, the Isle of Man is giving the Brunnings $1500 a month for living expenses, $15,000 for attorney's fees in the U.S., and $8000 for attorney's fees on the Isle of Man. A Mexican attorney has asked for $150,000 to fight extradition, but it hasn't been acted upon, says Devine. "If they remain fugitives, they could conceivably draw all the money out over a period of several years," she complains.\nThat $150,000 request is a whopper. Is it possible some of that loot might be earmarked for a bribe to a Mexican official? Neither Devine nor Adkisson would touch that question.\n"Legal battles are sometimes used as a cover to indefinitely delay the release of the funds or to hide the fact that the funds were embezzled," says Adkisson.\n"Right now, the Isle of Man does not recognize civil judgments of the U.S., so it doesn't recognize the bankruptcy or the fact that the trustee is the owner" of the Brunnings' assets, says Devine. In that respect, it's business as usual for offshore banks. "If there is an actual conviction and forfeiture granted by a U.S. court, then the Isle of Man would go along, they say."\nBut to get a conviction, the U.S. has to get them back. So, thanks to the Isle of Man, and perhaps Mexico, it's conceivable the Brunnings could end up looking like foxes, not opossums.

Google debuted its own streaming service in 2013 as Google Play Music All Access, after Google Play music's initial debut in 2011. All Access was initially priced at $9.99, but in June of 2015, Google unsurprisingly unveiled an ad-supported, free version to differentiate itself from Apple's subscription Music service.\nDesigned to compete directly with other streaming services such as Spotify, Rdio and newcomer Apple Music, Play Music is based on Songza, the human-curated music streaming startup acquired by Google last year.\nThe most striking difference between Google Play Music and Apple Music is the user interface, though music curation and discovery services come in at a close second.\nOpening up Google Play Music, users are first greeted by the day of the week and various playlists arranged around activities like "Waking Up", "Singing in the Shower", and "Getting Out of Bed". These are followed by Recent Activity and Recommended For You. A hamburger button on the top left leads to Playlists, Stations, Artists, Albums, and Songs.\nDespite criticism of Apple Music's crowded UI, the app's functionality is more easily defined than its Google counterpart, due in part to Apple's standard use of tab bar icons at the bottom of the app screen that includes "For You" (the default tab) followed by "New", "Radio", "Connect", and "My Music".\nGoogle Play Music and Apple Music offer relatively similar features. Both companies' content libraries are comparable with each advertising 30 million songs available for streaming. Both companies offer activity-based playlists, however, Apple also offers Apple Editor and Curator Playlists (the former being lists compiled by Apple and the latter by people "in the know").\nOne advantage Apple Music offers is its Beats One radio station, which provides 24/7 DJ-curated broadcasting from London, New York, and Los Angeles. Another advantage of Apple Music is its Connect feature, social media feature that enables them to follow their favorite artists. Google Play Music offers something called a YouTube Unlock Key, which allows GPMAA subscribers to bypass ads within songs played on YouTube.\nWhen doing a search on both services for a new band (White Lies) and new artist (Casino vs. Japan) that I have come to enjoy in the last two years, Google Play Music was missing two of the three albums of the former and only offered a radio station based on the latter. Apple Music, on the other hand, included all albums of both artists as well as options for creating radio stations based on their music.\nFor more established acts, this discrepancy isn't a factor, but for newer or more eclectic artists, it could very seriously impact discoverability.\nBoth services have the same price: $9.99 per month. However, Apple offers a Family Plan for $14.99 per month, which allows up to 6 people to share the Apple Music account. Google Play Music has no such family option.\nBeing embedded in the Apple eco-system, I'm more comfortable with Apple Music versus Google's comparable offering. Before using it, I had been quite skeptical of a streaming model of music consumption. However, Apple Music has convinced me of its value. I was spending at least $9.99 on album purchases per month before Apple Music was introduced. And, to be fair, there is something inherently satisfying about actually owning your music.\nThe sheer scope of Apple's music catalogue and the one-click ease of adding it to your own library is nothing short of addictive. I've added dozens of albums and hundreds of songs that I simply never would likely have bought and discovered artists that I likely never would have known thanks Beats Radio and the Apple Editor playlists. I know there's been a lot of news about retention rates with Apple Music subscribers, but, as lifelong music lover, I can say that Apple Music is nothing short of phenomenal.\nGoogle works on both operating systems and syncs well between both. Google will upload your personal music library for free. And Google doesn't randomly delete your playlists.\nWhen you say that, do you mean fix it or change it?\nI tried both for about a month, and I have to say I liked Google's interface better. It's much more streamlined and easier to navigate than the complex, messy UI that Apple has created. I like that Google will upload my music to Google Play Music at no charge, while I have to pay for Apple to do it for me with iTunes Match. At the very least, if someone is paying for an Apple Music subscription, Apple should include iTunes Match for free. Although some may argue that you should be able to find most of the music you want through Apple Music, so why pay for Match? With all that said, though, I'm not sure I want to pay $9.99 a month for either. Ad supported radio is probably good enough for me.\nActually, Apple Music does upload your library without iTunes Match.\nI agree with you, I think Google just hasn't done a great job of advertising all of their features. Definitely better value. I subscribe cause I figure I can l can listen to anything I want for the cost of one album a month. I cancelled my iTunes Match subscription, can't believe I paid when Google does it for free.\nI don't think streaming is for me, but I do like the new Music app. I'd say it's 5 steps forward, 1 step back, and the inevitable revisions/evolution will make it terrific.\nMeanwhile, I'll enjoy a little ad-free streaming radio to discover music. But when the free trial is up, I'm OK going back to the ad-supported radio.\nAnd Google doesn't randomly delete your playlists.\nAnd Apple doesn't comprehensively collect your personal data.\nYou are aware that Apple has an interest in monetising their user base (called "selling you" around here) and does. It would be refreshing to have an honest on-topic discussion of competing services once in awhile without the distraction of but... but... GOOGLE!\nYeah I know, it's not a big part of their business so it's OK. It doesn't require a fortune teller to know where this thread is heading.\nThe only reason Google would collect data on my listening habits would be to advertise music that it thinks I'd be interested in. Which is kind of what I want an app like this to do anyway, and Google are very good at recommendation analytics.\nNot a good criticism of Google in this instance.\nI don't see why you think Apple Music UI is complex. Google hides options in a hamburguer menu, which is awful (they don't seem to mind about UI usability though, they use that kind of menu in many of their apps). Unfortunately, Apple Music is indeed full of bugs.\nRegarding your second point, although Apple Music doesn't include iTunes Match, it includes iCloud Music Library: it differs from iTunes Match, but it still syncs every song from your library (including those not on Apple Music). However, I don't know how this compares to the Google version.\nHaving the option to listen and view the music video for a song in GPMAA is one big plus compared to Apple Music. Sometimes it conmpletes the music, adding emotion and context. Or at least my son and his girlfriend prefer music that way. As popular as YouTube is I"ll make a wild guess they aren't alone. The included Youtube Music Key was a bit glossed over in the AI article.\nOn the other hand I'm sure there are those that couldn't care less about music videos but really enjoy Beats Radio. It's good to have options.\nAfter having used Apple Music for more than the past month, what I love about it is that it gives you the feeling you OWN the music.\nRealize that even you do not truly own your own car or house. If you don't pay the registration and license fees you can't drive your car. If you don't pay your property tax your house will be taken away from you. Essentially for a house, you are paying RENT to the GOVERNMENT for life. Yet obviously, you feel and think you own your house.\nThe same with Apple Music. You can download tracks as you desire. You can arrange them in playlists. You can stream the same songs from your playlists or play them from your Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.\nThe huge advantage of Apple Music is that I can simultaneously use up to 6 devices to play music - with the family plan. This way, most rooms in the home can have separate music without having to turn the devices off. I love the family plan for individuals.\nAnd the huge advantage of Apple Music versus owning music is that I will always get the latest music. Wow! I no longer have to think about buying music or waiting for an album to come out. I get it as soon as it is released to Apple Music.\nI go back-and-forth on Google's material design esthetic, but I definitely find GPMAA to be a really ugly version of it. Not to say that I'm in love with Apple music's design, but I like it better. With all that said, I still like Spotify's look the best.\nHow is that a huge advantage for Apple Music? With Google's service you use over 50 devices for less if you really wanted to... I take it Apple's "Family Plan" costs more than the $9.99?\nI find Google's interface a lot easier to use than Apple Music. And, it also works on any web browser.\nThe "I feel lucky" is a great way to discover new music while listening to ones I listened to normally. The automatically generated playlists seem more relevant to me on Google than Apple. Also, easy to add any music to any playlist I created. The ability to watch music videos without ads is a great plus for Google.\nI say this but Apple has its good points as well, but for me, Google edges out Apple with its simpler and cleaner interface as well as ad-free videos.\nAnd Google doesn't suffer from antennagate, bendgate, and it is not evil because it's free. And Google doesn't randomly suffer from Stagefright.\nApple's business model is stupid. I want free music. Did I mention Google Music is free? I love Google. Google is so awesome you guys. Everyone should try it. Did I mention it's free? Here, look at some more ads. Click 'em. Click as many as you like! That's a huge advantage for Google Music.

VGK closes the year with a Western Canada road trip at Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.\nSo how do things look? At press time the Knights will have already played Colorado here at T-Mobile Arena. A win would clinch the playoffs for the Knights, but the Avalanche will not make it easy with the Blues and Kings both one point back.\nNashville (107 points) has the top seed in the West and would face Wild Card St. Louis (89 points). Vegas, the projected Pacific Division winner, would face the other Wild Card team, currently Colorado (90 points).\nThe teams finishing second and third in each division face off in the first round. For the Central, Winnipeg (102 points) plays Minnesota (93 points), with the winner of that series facing the winner of Nashville vs. St. Louis. In the Pacific, San Jose (95 points) battles Anaheim (91) with the winner likely facing either Vegas or Colorado as things stand.\nWith only a couple points separating many teams this can very easily be blown up, considering Nashville and Winnipeg are technically the only teams in the West to have clinched a playoff berth. Dallas would be a recent example of how crucial a few games can be, losing eight straight and falling out of the playoff picture almost completely.\nThe Knights are 4-0 against Vegas even though the Coyotes have managed to take them to overtime twice. These games are so important for the Knights to get ready for the postseason. They should be feasting on teams like this with so much at stake.\nNothing worse than playing teams that must win, but it’s a great test for the Golden Knights. Vegas split the two games with the Blues winning at home and losing on the road. But this is going to feel like a playoff hockey game.\nThis could be the game that decides the Pacific Division title. If Vegas didn’t fare well in the previous three games, look for them to come out firing on all cylinders to get this victory. Otherwise they likely already have the Pacific Division crown.\nThat will matter as I think the Knights will maybe change things up here if they don’t want to show any extra important minutes to a team they might face in the second round. KNIGHTS (if division isn’t locked up); SHARKS (if it is).

With the rise of chatbots, conversational recruiting has become the hottest strategy in talent acquisition.\nA recent demonstration of Google’s Assistant scheduling a haircut blew people’s minds and hints at the intriguing future of what conversational recruiting could look like.\nConversational recruiting is defined as attracting, qualifying, and engaging candidates with real-time, continuous one-on-one messaging. These conversations are flexible and take place where candidates already are: on mobile, social media, and messaging apps.\nAlready common in sales and marketing, conversational commerce is the adoption of real-time messaging with people, brands, products, and services.\nThe technological advancement that enabled conversational commerce to happen was the merging artificial intelligence with everyday consumer interactions. AI allows users to interact with businesses in a cross-channel, personalized, and convenient way.\nSimilarly, interest in conversational recruiting is being driven by innovations in AI and chatbot technology. Here are three best practices for using conversational recruiting on your team.\nThe major benefit of adopting tech-enabled conversational recruiting is that candidates can get answers about the job and application process in real time.\nUsing a chatbot, information can be collected in real life and simultaneously from thousands of candidates. This information can be collected in a recruiting software like an ATS or CRM and then relayed to human recruiters to follow up.\nToday’s candidates understand that the recruiting process can’t be human-to-human at every touchpoint and value the chance to receive information in whatever way they can.\nIf your conversational recruiting strategy doesn’t provide candidates with more information than your career page or the job posting, then candidates will fail to see its value and it’ll be a waste of your resources.\nUsing a chatbot is the best way to provide conversational recruiting at scale.\nBut there’s still a lot of debate on how “human” a chatbot should be. Most agree that a chatbot shouldn’t be too robotic and cold because this type of “bot-speak” creates a poor candidate experience.\nOn the other hand, a chatbot shouldn’t be deceptive either. If a candidate asks if they’re talking to a chatbot, be truthful. An Allegis survey found nearly 2/3rds of candidates are comfortable interacting with a chatbot so using tech for conversational recruiting shouldn’t be a disadvantage.

The mornings will consist of a class check-in followed by Phonics, Guided Reading, Maths and then English. The afternoons start with a Big Maths Beat That session followed by Topic. In our afternoon sessions we will be looking at Computing, History and Art as well as Science. We will be linking our learning to our topic of ‘What makes York so amazing?’ We will be exploring chocolate and how important this was to York as well as important people in York. This topic will weave through our whole curriculum.\nPE – Wednesday afternoon and Friday morning with Mr Jeff. P.E. kits can remain in school and be taken home to wash once a half term.\nSpanish and Music – We are really lucky to have specialist Spanish and Music teachers who teach these subjects. Spanish and Music are taught on a Friday morning.\nReading in Team Ouse – We will change your child’s reading books on a weekly basis. Children will have the opportunity to read their guided reading book twice a week; once to the class teacher and once to the teaching assistant to develop as much fluency as possible. These guided reading books will be numbered. Please keep them, along with the yellow reading record, in your child’s book bag. It is crucial that these books come to school each day. The two books will be changed weekly. Your child can also read anything at home, from books to magazines, the back of a cereal packet to a leaflet sent through the post! Please would you listen to your child read so that you can ask him/her questions and help them improve their understanding and fluency. We would be grateful if you could then write a note in their reading record to say they have read to you.\nHomework – We ask that children spend 5-10 minutes a day either reading, working on spellings or accessing number gym. Little and often is what we are aiming for. We understand that children work incredibly hard in school, but the extra support at home makes a huge difference.\nSpellings – Spellings will be given out on a Friday and tested the following Friday during a ‘spelling check’. Spellings can be accessed on the weekly Bloomz update message. The spellings will consist of a spelling rule and then 5 words taken from a list of common exception words children need to be able to spell before leaving KS1.

Creating positive change doesn’t happen overnight. Just ask the seven Palo Alto residents who have been selected as recipients of this year’s Avenidas Lifetimes of Achievement awards for pouring their time and energy into projects designed to better the community.\nTogether, Ruth and George Chippendale, Dexter Dawes, Marion Mandell, Judy Sleeth and Carol and Terry Winograd have dedicated the equivalent of 312 years of public service to advocating for art in the classroom, providing nonprofits with financial expertise, caring for 20 foster children, supporting Palo Alto’s Sister City Organization, bringing Jewish and Muslim communities together and more. Their persistence and unwavering desire to change the status quo has made an impact not only here but across the globe.\nThe following stories shine a spotlight on how these individuals with ordinary beginnings went on to lead extraordinary lives.\nRecently married and pondering job prospects across the country, George and Ruth Chippendale took a driving trip in 1957, stopping for interviews in Wichita, Denver, San Diego and Los Angeles before landing in Palo Alto, where they decided to plant their roots in the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood.\nPalo Alto was like nothing the East Coast-bred pair had ever seen before, said George, who settled on an engineering job at Lockheed Missiles and Space.\nThere was space to roam, and a nice family house could be had for $21,500, Ruth added.\n“Oh, it was wonderful,” she said.\nGeorge, who during his college years in Boston had learned to fly and bought his own small plane, flew it out to California.\nBy 1962, the Chippendales had three children, and Ruth had left her teaching career to raise them. It was also during this time that the couple became involved in the Christian Family Movement, which launched them into a lifelong commitment to social activism and giving back to the community that had impressed them so much that first day they arrived.\nFor nearly six decades, the couple has spent countless hours providing aid to parents of emotionally and mentally disabled children; offering emergency assistance through the St. Vincent de Paul Society; feeding the homeless; distributing food; working for peace and justice; taking in 20 foster children and adopting a developmentally delayed son (who died at the age of 21); collecting and distributing toys and clothing; and preparing layettes for needy new mothers.\nIn 2004, the Vatican awarded the couple the Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice for their years of service. The following year, the couple received a prestigious Jefferson Award from the American Institute for Public Service. This month, the duo is receiving the Avenidas Lifetimes of Achievement Award for their service to Palo Alto.\nJoining the Christian Family Movement was “a dramatic change in my life,” said George, who proudly called himself a “Boston Irish Catholic Democrat” but, until marrying Ruth, had considered weekly Mass mainly a place to snooze or daydream.\nRuth had come from a deeply religious family, with a sister who became a nun and a brother who became a priest.\n“The church was nothing to me until I met this woman,” he said, explaining that she had shown him the English translations of the Latin prayer books that made the service more meaningful.\nThrough the Christian group’s Migrant Mission Program, George found himself teaching catechism to farm workers in Cupertino. He flew priests to Mexico and Central America for the Latin American Mission Program, and “that was a step up in motivation,” he said.\nBy the late ‘60s, George was piloting health care teams and patients back and forth to Central America to perform reconstructive surgeries on children with cleft palates through the Stanford University-based group Interplast (now Resurge International).\nRuth meanwhile began taking in babies through a foster program with Santa Clara County. Between 1966 and 1976 the family took in 20 babies, the last one of which they adopted and raised as their own.\n“That was in the days when they didn’t have enough adoptive parents,” Ruth said. Most of the babies were newborns, coming straight from the hospital. The Chippendales kept a carriage, which they would wheel from room to room, and Ruth grew deeply attached to the babies.\nThese days, George has long since stopped flying his plane -- he no longer even drives -- but uses the telephone to continue his decades-long activism in East Palo Alto with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, coordinating emergency help to families and individuals in need with food, rent, utilities, clothing and medical prescriptions.\nUntil recently, George and Ruth helped prepare a meal every Monday at St. Francis of Assisi church in East Palo Alto for anybody who wanted to come in and eat. George also has helped recruit and secure scholarships for children to attend St. Elizabeth Seton School and Hidden Villa summer camp in Los Altos Hills.\nRuth, a regular at the 7:15 a.m. daily Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas, continues her 30-year involvement with Palo Alto’s Downtown Food Closet, as well as with the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and Hotel de Zink, in which churches take turns providing hot meals and beds for the homeless.\nShe’s also become a Raging Granny, joining fellow grandmothers who dress up in hats and go into the streets to promote peace, justice and equality.\n“I’d gone to so many rallies and so many demonstrations -- anti-war, pro-environment -- and I thought, ‘As long as I’m going to go to these rallies and demonstrations, I might as well have some fun with it,” she said.\nBoth Chippendales say the tightening housing market in East Palo Alto is making it harder than ever for low-income people trying to survive.\n“Now, with the impact of people coming into East Palo Alto with places like Facebook and Google, no longer do you have that market technique of renting a room from the bulletin board at the laundromat,” George said. “Instead you go onto Craigslist and the room that used to be $600 is now $1,200.\nPalo Alto resident Dexter Dawes tried retirement in 1996 -- but it didn’t last long. A few months after retiring, the former investment banker and his wife were welcomed home from their trip to India with a surprise voicemail asking Dawes to jump back into the business world. His youngest son’s friend wanted to start a software company, and he needed someone with proven financial expertise to guide him. Dawes, 60, was ready to take on this new challenging role. That was 20 years ago, and the Palo Alto resident still hasn’t quite retired.\nNow in his 80s, Dawes has spent the bulk of his “retirement” years volunteering on numerous boards, commissions and oversight committees to provide financial guidance to local nonprofits. He has served on 17 different boards for corporations as well as organizations benefiting everyone from seniors and children to students and Palo Alto families, including the Palo Alto-Los Altos American Youth Soccer Organization, the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale, the Palo Alto High School Sports Boosters and the Bond Oversight Committee and the Audit and Finance Committee for the Foothill-De Anza Community College District.\nThis month, Dawes is receiving the Avenidas Lifetime of Achievement Award for his service.\nDawes said sitting around watching TV after leaving the corporate world was never an attractive option, so he decided to put his experience to use.\n“I think my role is addressing problems,” said Dawes, whose behind-the-scenes input has helped keep numerous organizations financially sound, even during tough times.\nDawes, who served as chairman and vice chairman on Palo Alto’s Utilities Advisory Commission, developed a 10-year efficiency plan that enabled the city to weather the energy crisis of 2001 as well as volatile changes in the gas market, including the bankruptcy of energy supplier Enron Company.\nThe commission’s decision to reduce its power contract with Enron ultimately saved the city tens of millions of dollars, Dawes said.\nAs treasurer, chairman and board member of Palo Alto’s Channing House, he helped develop financial guidelines for the retirement community’s development and led what he described as “a battle” to settle more than 10 lawsuits over a construction project that was two years late and whose budget was significantly overrun. When the construction company sued for excess costs, Dawes was ready to shepherd a resolution. The case went into mediation.\nAfter “driving hard with a mediator, who put a lot of pressure on the contractors,” Channing House settled on a favorable basis, he said. The settlement was finally agreed upon on Dawes’ last day as a board member in February 2016.\n“All things considered, the fight was worth it for the community,” Dawes said.\nDawes attributes his success in the nonprofit sector to skills -- such as negotiating and good judgment -- he acquired during a long and storied career he launched at Ford Aerospace shortly after earning an MBA. By 1973, he had started his own firm that specialized in raising capital, mergers and Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs). During the 1980s, he took over the management of an investment fund and switched from raising capital to investing in private companies.\nLooking back on the past 20 years, Dawes said nonprofit work can be just as challenging -- and rewarding -- as a paid job.\n“Palo Alto is an amazing community with intelligent, active and well-heeled people. With these blessings come a fountainhead of ideas and approaches,” he said. “The long and short of it ... (is) it can be a stifling process in which it takes years to get a decision made and implemented.\nEditorial Intern Sophie Pollock can be reached at [email protected].\nIt was during the 1940s at the height of World War II when 10-year-old Marion Mandell decided to join the war effort. She worked tirelessly to knit socks and mittens for overseas troops and to roll and sterilize bandages in the oven as part of a Girl Scout project for her troop in New Jersey.\nThe war eventually ended, but Mandell’s commitment to community service and the Girl Scouts of the USA never waned. Mandell, now 87, has spent the better part of eight decades inspiring generations of Girl Scouts and strengthening community programs that help those in need.\n“Working with people is so terrific and rewarding,” said Mandell, who has an uncanny way of using skills she’s learned -- whether it be folk dancing or Spanish -- to help others.\nThis month, Mandell is receiving the Avenidas Lifetimes Achievement Award for her ongoing service to local Girl Scouts as well as her role in Palo Alto’s Sister City Organization, which she has supported for half a century.\nMandell, who started with the Girl Scouts as a Brownie in 1939 when cookies cost only 25 cents a box, credits her first troop leader for her lifelong commitment to volunteer work. Mandell said her leader was “a wonderful woman,” so she stuck with the organization and realized that maybe she, too, could have that impact on others.\nShe continued in the service organization as an assistant leader and in college became a summer camp counselor in upstate New York.\n“I thoroughly enjoyed those summers,”said Mandell, who still calls herself a Girl Scout.\nIn 1958 -- the same year she, her husband and two young children “caught a 14-hour flight on a propeller plane” (before the use of modern passenger jets) to move 3,000 miles from New York to their new home in Palo Alto -- she became involved in the local Girl Scouts.\nShe went on to serve as a Girl Scout camp counselor, troop leader, camp director, trainer and organizer. She has directed three Camporees -- an outdoor skills competition with about 300 participants -- annually for 37 years for the Girl Scouts of Palo Alto and Santa Clara County. To this day, she is still involved in the event, which she calls her favorite Scouting activity.\nMandell said she believes the Girl Scouts’ enduring appeal is in large part due to the organization’s flexibility and willingness to remain relevant with the times.\n“The Girl Scouts have (always) been in the forefront of modern events,” she told the Weekly when the Palo Alto Girl Scouts were celebrating their 90th anniversary in 2012.\nThe local Scouts can get badges in areas related to aerospace and architecture and even media savvy. In conjunction with NASA, they formed the first all-girls local robotics team, which now encompasses the entire Bay Area.\nMandell also has had a significant impact on Palo Alto’s Sister City program, serving as the primary organizer of the Neighbors Abroad cultural-exchange program between Palo Alto and Oaxaca, Mexico, each summer for more than 50 years.\nMandell said her interest in Neighbors Abroad began when her children began taking Spanish in school. Mandell said it seemed very possible that her family would be hosting an exchange student from Mexico, so she enrolled in every Spanish course that Foothill College had to offer and became fluent.\nThis prompted her to do more with her newly learned skill. She joined the board of directors for Neighbors Abroad in Palo Alto in 1963 and shortly after became the group’s vice president for Palo Alto’s sister city, Oaxaca.\nCity Council members have described Mandell as a “key champion” for the program, fostering cultural connections between the two communities that have led to the construction of a children’s library, a planetarium and the Albergue Infantil Josefino orphanage, which cares for 55 children. The group also funded a health care initiative that has helped rural villages grow nutritious food and learn about basic medical care.\nMandell also has worked with the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs to provide Oaxaca with eight badly needed emergency vehicles donated from Palo Alto. Oaxaca has named an ambulance after Mandell.\nEditorial Intern Sarah Mason can be reached at [email protected].\nShe has made good on that aspiration: As a teacher, a docent and the founder of the nonprofit Art in Action, Sleeth has inspired a love of art in thousands of Peninsula students, for which she is receiving the Avenidas Lifetimes of Achievement Award this month.\nSleeth, who grew up in Pasadena, studied history and art history in college and earned a master’s degree in education. She taught English, history and art history at Castilleja School in Palo Alto.\nArt in Action began in 1982, when Sleeth volunteered in her eldest daughter’s kindergarten classroom. Budget cuts had ended arts education, so the teacher asked Sleeth to give art lessons.\nSoon, friends began asking her to show them how to teach art. Sleeth designed curriculum for volunteers who don’t have a background in art -- mostly parents and some teachers. As the program grew, a friend, Betsy Halaby, helped train volunteers and develop lessons.\nArt in Action now serves 74,000 students in kindergarten through eighth grade nationwide. In addition to offering lessons in art appreciation, the organization equips volunteers with “art kits” stocked with art supplies so that students can create their own art.\nSleeth often hears from teachers that days with Art in Action visits have almost perfect class attendance.\nFrom the founding of Art in Action until her retirement as executive director in 2013, Sleeth never collected a salary. She is still active with the program, spearheading a scholarship fund that allows more schools to participate.\nLast year, she received the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the Obama Administration. The award recognizes extraordinary volunteer service.\nFor many years, Sleeth has also volunteered as a docent with Stanford’s Cantor Arts Center, developing tours for school children. When Art in Action students come to the Cantor, Sleeth enjoys the chance to see their newfound appreciation of art.\nFreelance writer Heather Zimmerman can be reached at [email protected].\nYoung couples aiming to manage two demanding careers and an engaging family and community life might look to Carol and Terry Winograd for inspiration.\nTerry, a star in the field of artificial intelligence who left the industry in 1980 to create Stanford University’s Human-Computer Interaction Group, has mentored scores of technology entrepreneurs, including some of Silicon Valley’s most famous names.\nCarol, a physician and professor of medicine and human biology at Stanford, directed the university’s Geriatric Research and Education Center until she was sidelined by illness and retired on disability in 1995. She later returned and, for another 12 years, taught a sophomore seminar in “Woman and Aging,” incorporating biology, psychology, sociology and even poetry.\nThis month, the Winograds are receiving the Avenidas Lifetime of Achievement Award for their efforts to eliminate poverty and promote peace. Carol has served on numerous boards including J Street, the Advisory Board of the Jewish Chaplaincy at Stanford Medical Center, Abraham’s Vision, New Israel Fund and the Women Donors Network’s Middle East Peace Circle. She is also a longtime member of Physicians for Social Responsibility, and she brought the Jewish and Muslim communities in Palo Alto and the south bay together as co-founder of JAMAA, Jewish and Muslim American Association.\nTerry founded Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility and the Liberation Technology Project. He is an active member of Bend the Arc, a Jewish social justice organization. Together, they participate in Sunday Friends, a nonprofit organization that empowers families to break the generational cycle of poverty; Kol Emeth and Beth David synagogues; and the Palestinian Jewish Dialogue Group. They have also traveled to Kenya with Stanford students to help local people apply technology to solve problems of daily living.\nThe next two dates kicked off the couple’s long history of shared activism: They traveled to New Hampshire to work on the anti-Vietnam War Democratic presidential primary campaign of U.S. Sen. Eugene McCarthy.\nBoth had inherited a sense of liberal activism and civic engagement from their parents -- Terry’s in Greeley, Colorado, where his businessman father had served on the school board and Carol’s in Woodbridge, New Jersey, where her mother, a “consummate volunteer,” had established community mental health programs and a Reach to Recovery breast-cancer support program.\nTerry has a childhood memory of going out with a wagon to campaign for Adlai Stevenson for president, “which, in Greeley, Colorado, was pretty ‘out there,’” he said.\nCarol recalls holding tin cans with her brother in front of a Howard Johnson’s restaurant to collect donations for a cause she cannot remember.\n“But I do remember my mother saying, ‘It’s the poor people who give more money than the rich people,’” she said.\nWithin months of their first date, Carol and Terry were living together and by the end of that same summer, they had married.\n“We look back and say, ‘What were we thinking?’ How would you get involved so quickly and not take your time, but we just did it,” Terry said.\nThe Winograds moved from the East Coast to San Francisco in the early 1970s for Carol’s medical residency at the University of California, San Francisco.\nShe was particularly drawn to what she calls “medicine in the streets” or “political medicine,” having already worked in women’s health clinics, Black Panther clinics and as a medic for anti-Vietnam War demonstrations.\nTerry took what he thought was a one-year fill-in position at Stanford for an artificial intelligence scholar who’d gone on sabbatical. But the other professor never came back, and Terry assumed the post permanently.\nIn those years of teaching, research and consulting at what was then Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Terry came to a conclusion that led him to switch his research and teaching focus: the belief that artificial intelligence would never properly capture the scope of human cognition and that the more compelling pursuit was the use of computers to enhance -- not replace -- human intelligence.\nAmong the future entrepreneurs he advised were Google co-founder Larry Page and Linkedin co-founder Reid Hoffman.\nCarol’s approach to geriatrics sprang from work early in her career at what was then called the Jewish Home for the Aged in Oakland.\nNowadays, both Winograds, officially retired from their faculty jobs, continue to mentor some students but make a lot of time for the progressive causes they favor and, for their grandchildren. Having had some pre-IPO shares in Google has allowed them also to become philanthropists and political donors, though they say it hasn’t changed their lifestyle much.\n“We don’t buy a lot of stuff -- no new gadgets, no yacht, no furs, no jewels,” Terry said.

Most of you are probably familiar with the Christian/Jewish bible’s Genesis, the little story about how Mahabrahma (aka ‘God’) created the world….\nFrom a Buddhist cosmological [what a contradiction in terms, :-)] standpoint, this particular event was not really unique – depending on your timeframe of course – but what if we, just for the fun of it, ask ourselves what did the Buddhists put at the very beginning of all their sacred texts and literature? What special emphasis did they create by establishing one particular text at the head of their ‘holy scriptures’, i.e. the Pali Canon of Early Buddhism.\nTraditionally the Pali Canon starts with rules for monks and nuns. But if we skip that part and look at the collection of discourses the first book introduced to the reader is the Digha Nikaya, the ‘Collection of Long Discourses’. The text in this book which ancient compilers put at the beginning is a discourse by the Buddha called the Brahmajala sutta, i.e. ‘The Devine Net’.\nSo, how does this Buddhist ‘Genesis’ look like? In this text the Buddha starts out asking his followers never to feel angry if the Dhamma is ridiculed nor should they feel elated if the Dhamma is praised. He continues to explain how other religions come into their beliefs about various world- and soul- scenarios (among which the Buddha gives a fascinating account about how the belief in a monotheistic religion – and with it creation – is established).\nHowever, central to this first text of Buddhist scriptures is the following recurring passage which so completely establishes what makes Buddhism so completely a non-religion.\nBut of these views, monks, the Tathagata (i.e. the Buddha) knows that arriving at such views, holding such views, believing such views, trusting such views will have such and such a consequence in terms of rebirth in the hereafter. This and much more the Tathagata is able to see, for he knows as it really is the coming to be and the passing away of sense experience, the satisfaction of sense experience and the way of escape from sense experience.\nAnd because he does not cling to what he sees he is detached and he experiences for himself the peace of utter freedom.\nThese are advanced things, monks, matters that are deep, difficult to see, difficult to grasp, subtle, leading one who follows to tranquility and the sublime; things not to be arrived at by mere logic and reasoning, comprehensible only by the wise. These, monks, are the things the Tathagata teaches, having seen them for himself. These are the things which should be spoken of by one when he speaks in praise of the Tathagata.\nTayidaṃ, bhikkhave, tathāgato pajānāti – ‘ime diṭṭhiṭṭhānā evaṃgahitā evaṃparāmaṭṭhā evaṃgatikā bhavanti evaṃabhisamparāyā’ti, tañca tathāgato pajānāti, tato ca uttaritaraṃ pajānāti; tañca pajānanaṃ na parāmasati, aparāmasato cassa paccattaññeva nibbuti viditā. Vedanānaṃ samudayañca atthaṅgamañca assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṃ viditvā anupādāvimutto, bhikkhave, tathāgato.\nStill, due to the overwhelming attraction of thoughts and ideas, Buddhism as a religion had to come up with creation-like stories to satisfy the thirst for … stories 🙂 . One of the most ancient ones is definitely the Agganna Sutta [pi]- which, funny enough, most Buddhists have never heard of.\nIn it we find signs of evolution, physical that is, but the major driving force behind evolution in this text is not attributed to some random magic materialism but rather the governing force of karma (i.e. intentions/actions of beings) driving their physical representation depending on the mental ups and downs in individual beings, societies and cultures in the universe. In the light of the above quoted passages it still should be clear that Buddhism is less interested in these facets of (physical/natural) samsaric re-cycling (pun intended) or evolutionary and devolutionary whirlpools but rather focuses on the sources of the movie projection.\nLoop Quantum Gravity Theory and the Big Bounce – this is a very good summary.\nIt would be interesting to see what later Buddhist traditions put at the very beginning of their body of scriptures. Maybe one would be able to see a shift in emphasis towards other ideas?\nYou are right on about “what makes Buddhism so completely a non-religion.” Dhamma is all about seeing correctly the present experience for oneself and not getting stuck — it is not about praying, splitting words, holding views… Come and see, ehi passiko.\nSpeaking of Agganna Sutta, there is this line: Then some being of a greedy nature thought, “What can this be?” and tasted the savory earth on its finger.

The Golden Eagles has announced the launch of its new website, manlygoldeneagles.com.au, marking the next step in the association's development.\nHeaded by former front rowers Mark Bryant and Josh Perry, the Manly Warringah Golden Eagles Association is a group of past rugby league players who turned out for the Sea Eagles in any grade, not just first grade.\nReaching all the way back to the inaugural 1947 season, the association brings every ex-player from Manly back together again at the club and already boasts more than 300 members, including legends of the game Max Krilich, Alan Thompson, Michael O’Connor, Paul Vautin, Cliffy Lyons, Merv Gillmer and many more.\nThe new website ensures both fans and members keep up-to-date on members, latest news, video interviews with the players, Golden Eagles merchandise coming soon, plus details of the association’s work in the community.\n2015 promises to be a busy year for the Golden Eagles with a number of charity functions and game day social activities lined up across the peninsula.\nThe first major event will take place at The Collaroy Hotel in February with the Roki4Auction. Raising precious funds for local boy Roki Mills, who was born with cerebral palsy and suffered brain damage due to a lack of oxygen during a difficult birth, the event promises to be a sell-out.\nThe Golden Eagles will also host a monthly meat tray raffle at the Manly Leagues Club and has plans for a star-studded charity golf day later in the year.\nWith the full backing of the Sea Eagles, including CEO Joe Kelly, the association also has high profile support in the form of patrons Ken Arthurson and Steve Menzies.\nThe fans are already showing their support for the association – the group’s Facebook page has more than 1,300 followers regularly sharing player and match stats, and commenting on sightings of former rugby league ‘greats’ around town.\nThe support of local businesses in helping get the Golden Eagles off the ground has also been vital.\nWith the website up and running, the association is urging former players to get in touch through the site and for fans to sign up for the newsletter by email because, in the words of Bryant, “it’s time to bring our ex-players home again”.\nFor more information about the Manly Warringah Golden Eagles Association, go to www.manlygoldeneagles.com.au or contact Mark Bryant on 0427 100 669.\nSIGN UP TO BECOME A 2015 MEMBER TODAY AND SUPPORT YOUR CLUB!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Relax Capital One customers. The bank says it won’t be showing up at your front door or office to collect on a delinquent credit card bill, even though rarely-read fine print in the bank’s credit card rules allow it to do just that.\nCapital One’s rules state that customers can be contacted by mail, phone or email, as well as by “personal visit.” They also say customers can be contacted “at your home or at your place of employment.\nThe rules aren’t new but the L.A. Times column lit up social media and left the bank scrambling to reassure credit card customers. “Capital One does not visit our cardholders, nor do we send debt collectors to their homes or work,” the bank said in an emailed statement.\n“We’re considering creating two separate agreements given this language doesn’t apply to our general cardholder base,” the bank said in a statement Tuesday.\n“Bad enough they know what’s in my wallet. Now they want to know what’s in my fridge? tweeted Karen J Larson.\n“This is my bank; maybe it’s time to find a new one,” tweeted Washington Times columnist Joseph Curl.\n“Come to my house and get .40 caliber interest,” tweeted another reader.\nThe LA Times column also pointed out the cardholder rules allow Capital One to “modify or suppress caller ID and similar services and identify ourselves on these services in any manner we choose,” suggesting the bank could disguise itself to get past cardholders who are screening their calls.\nThey are one of the shady credit cards and have been written up as such many times by different financial magazines and columns. Yet people still get taken by their ads.\nHow about just pay your bill. I have a capital one card, have for 8 years, no problems.\nWhen I tried to pay off my Capital One card back in 1993, they sat on the check for 28 day (as per the proof of delivery/receipt I had from the post office) so it would be late. Then when I confronted them about it, they refused to cooperate. Since then, the answer to their mailings and spam e-mails, is “The answer is always no.”. I even cancelled both my Kohls and Sears Cards when I found out that Capital One took over the cards. I do not do business with crooks.\nCapital One makes money off of you and everyone else, even if you pay your bills on time. Sorry, if you’ve used your Capital One Card for 8 years, you’ve paid a big hidden cost without even knowing it.\nSee Ellen Brown’s recent article for more clarity.

someone reminded me it was 39 days until Christmas – and I still let them live!!\nDo you remember when you were a kid and you ticked off the days until Christmas, eagerly looking forward to opening your presents and stuffing yourself full of treats?? No school for the summer and just so many hot fabulous days to enjoy.\nWhy is Christmas as an adult just so stressful? Is it the unreasonable expectations or commercial pressures?\nDownstairs in our building there is a tile shop where at the moment every single customer is trying to complete projects before Christmas. Our car park is crowded with constant deliveries as they try to meet everyone’s expectations. Really you didn’t get round to renovating the house until November and now it needs to be done before Christmas along with every other renovator in Sydney? Wait till February next year and enjoy purchasing what you need in the January sales!\nApart from the commercial pressure there is the difficulty of organising a large amount of catering for the meal that gets eaten on the one day that the shops are shut. This means that Woolies and Coles are insane for a few days before Christmas and a few days after. One way to deal with this is to buy all the non-perishables at least a week before which reduces the amount of shopping you have to do at that time and seriously consider ordering online for delivery on the 23rd December – it is doesn’t arrive you still have time to sort it out. If it does you just saved yourself 3 hours of dealing with the insane shopping and parking frenzy that precedes Christmas Day.\nThe major source of stress however exists where our relationships are already strained. For divorced couples this is often a very difficult time with deciding who gets the kids for Christmas? For families with difficult relationships or difficult relatives Christmas can be more stressful. Will a boozy uncle drink too much and get aggressive? Will your mother-in-law criticise your child rearing through the whole meal? Many people for the sake of family harmony put up with crap at Christmas that they wouldn’t tolerate the rest of the year. Perhaps its worth considering raising the issue before the day or having an agreed signal with your partner that means he changes the subject as soon as someone starts. If its really difficult consider having Christmas lunch at an external venue which reduces the amount of time you have to spend with the difficult family members.\nOther options for reducing stress at Christmas could include an appropriate family game which everyone enjoys – scrabble, monopoly and cranium are often fun and easily fill a couple of hours if you can’t all escape to a pool or the beach. This is also a good way to slow down excessive alcohol consumption or give someone who needs time out a chance to slip away for a nap!\nIf you find the thought of this season fills you with dread it might be time to talk to someone about it. Counsellors often get very busy this time of year.

I am one who believes that God can and does reveal truth in all things. Something need not be “Christian” for God to use it for the revelation of truth. Over the years, I have been finding truth in the unlikeliest of places. I have found God’s truth at a Krishna temple in India, I have found it in films, in novels, in Walt Disney World (I mean, who wouldn’t), and I have found it in other faiths, old and young alike.\nOne such place that I have found some truth is in a book by James Redfield, The Celestine Prophecy. James Redfield was brought up in a Methodist Church that he described as being “loving and community-oriented”; however, he now is an influential person in the New Age movement. He was no doubt influenced by his Christian upbringing, but he also studied Eastern philosophies such as Taoism and Zen while a student at Auburn University.\nThough he spent more than 15 years as a therapist for abused children, he left that and, since he published the worldwide bestseller, The Celestine Prophecy, he has become an bestselling New Age author, lecturer, screenwriter, and film producer. The book itself follows the protagonist, never actually named in the book, on a truth-seeking, soul searching adventure in Peru following the loss of a job and other personal crises that arise in his/her life.\nIn the film version of the book, there is a quote between the protagonist and someone else. While I don’t remember the quote exactly, word for word, I remember the gist of it, “When people have the true God-experience, the debate over whose religion is right or wrong fades away.” That quote truly struck me as provocative and something worthwhile writing about.\nFirst, let me be clear that I DO NOT endorse the theology behind The Celestine Prophecy. As a New Age theology, it is quite simplistic with many glaring holes, inaccuracies of other religious beliefs and is, in many regards, without much substance in terms of a cohesive theology. Its mish-mashing of different theological ideas from different religions is intriguing, but often falls short and does a disservice to all the religions involved. But that does not mean that truth cannot be found within it.\nNow, on to my point. One thing I have noticed in Christianity, is that some Christian circles are filled with some of the most insecure people ever. For instance, if one was secure in their faith in Christ and in God, why would they feel the need to demonize others who disagree with them or other religions that are not in line with theirs? If one were not operating out of fear and insecurity, there would be no need to participate in the whole, “My God is bigger than your god” debate.\nYes, there are times that one must defend their faith and their religious beliefs, especially when others are mischaracterizing them. Yes, one should stand up for their faith when others are pressuring him or her to deny it. Yes, one should represent their faith well and should teach people what they believe to be correct and theologically sound. However, one need not go on a crusade against other ideologies, other religions, or other people who differ from him or her.\nChristians who aggressively attack other belief systems than their own, who pass out tracts warning people of a religious group that they’re going to be damned to hell, or go on long diatribes online as to why they think someone else has it so wrong, are practicing what I like to call, “Playground Christianity.” They’re acting like elementary-aged bullies on the playground fighting over whose daddy is bigger and can be the other’s dad up. It’s silly and it completely misses the heart of Christ’s message: LOVE.\nThe “true God experience”, as I see it and certainly as Redfield sees it as evidenced in his book, is the experience of God’s wild, untamable, unconditional LOVE. When one is enveloped and filled by that LOVE, one cannot help being transformed by it either. LOVE begets more love. God’s love transforms us to be creatures of love, to be agents of love, to be bearers of love. When one has the true God experience, when one truly knows and enters a relationship with God, the debate over who’s right or wrong, who’s holier and who’s not, and any other nonsensical comparison fades away. All that remains is LOVE. This doesn’t mean that LOVE doesn’t hold others accountable to truth and justice; however, there is no room for pettiness or divisiveness in LOVE. I would like to invite you to search God out, to have that true God experience in the context of a community of believers, and let go of anything that counters God’s LOVE.\nLord, fill me with your love and transform me into an agent of love. Amen.

This winter, Buffalo is fully embracing its cold weather. Canalside (canalsidebuffalo.com), covering 21 acres and with 33,000 square feet of ice, is one of three downtown ice rinks that have recently opened in this Rust Belt comeback city. Along with new craft breweries, food trucks and winter festivals, ice is among the new waterfront attractions that have residents and visitors enjoying the cold. Nearly 30,000 people skated at Canalside in the month after its splashy Dec. 18 opening, officials said. Canalside visitors, who’ve come from as far away as Switzerland and Japan, can also rent what are believed to be the country’s first ice bikes, inspired by recumbent Chinese machines and made locally with blades instead of front wheels.\nNow the Canalside ice sits where the Erie Canal here once was, and where the Buffalo Sabres’ old hockey arena, Memorial Auditorium, stood from 1939 to 2009. Tim Tielman, executive director of the nonprofit Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture, helped push for the unique placement. “You’re skating on the same path as so much of Buffalo history, so much of American history,” he said.\nAcross from Canalside is HarborCenter (harborcenter.com), a more than $200 million project financed by the Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula. With two rinks and an N.H.L.-caliber training center — plus a skyway to the Sabres’ current arena — hockey is HarborCenter’s big attraction. The buzzing (716) Food and Sport (716foodandsport.com) allows people to watch games on a 38-foot screen. The complex will soon fill in up to 10,000 square feet of street-level retail space and be topped with a 205-room Marriott later this year.\nA 10-minute walk from HarborCenter to an industrial area along the Buffalo River takes you to RiverWorks (buffaloriverworks.com). A half-dozen 100-foot silos painted like a Labatt Blue six-pack announces that this old grain elevator has a new gig. It now holds 30,000 square feet of ice under an open-air pavilion. The year-old Buffalo Curling Club (buffalocurlingclub.org), which my husband and I joined with two friends at a combined cost of $440, has attracted nearly 500 people to slide heavy stones down the ice there weekly. Pond hockey was also scheduled.\nFestivals are bringing people out, too. In early January, Canalside and HarborCenter co-hosted their first Winterfest. One mile away, in the redeveloped warehouse district of Larkinville (larkinsquare.com), businesses held an inaugural Ice Festival at the end of January celebrating what organizers called “our newfound love of ice.” Both festivals included food trucks, in addition to ice bars and sculptures. Larkinville’s offerings were set up in front of Flying Bison Brewing Co., which moved its craft brewery and rugged-industrial taproom to this up-and-coming area last fall.\nAmong the new cold-weather fans is the Rev. William Weiksnar, known as Father Jud, a Buffalo native who recently returned to his hometown after 27 years. When the Franciscan friar was growing up, indoor rinks were king, he said. Now he’s been skating almost daily at Canalside, even in his brown robe. “Buffalo’s great in the summer, but there’s something to look forward to in winter now, too,” he said. And post-skate, the friar said, he is partial to Flying Bison beer.

A combination of elotuzumab, an immunostimulatory monoclonal antibody, with lenalidomide and dexamethasone has been shown to be effective in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.\nA combination of elotuzumab, an immunostimulatory monoclonal antibody, with lenalidomide and dexamethasone has been shown to be effective in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Researchers conducted a study involving patients whose multiple myeloma was refractory or relapsed and refractory to lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor. The patients were randomly assigned to receive elotuzumab plus pomalidomide and dexamethasone or a combination of pomalidomide plus dexamethasone. A total of 117 patients were randomly assigned to either the elotuzumab group or the control group. After a minimum followup period of 9.1 months, the median progression-free survival was 10.3 months in the elotuzumab group and 4.7 months in the control group. The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (13% in the elotuzumab group vs. 27% in the control group), anemia (10% vs. 20%), and hyperglycemia (8% vs. 7%). Approximately two-thirds of the patients in each group had infections, while 5% (3) of those in the elotuzumab group had infusion reactions. The researchers conclude, "The findings from this randomized trial showed that the addition of the monoclonal antibody elotuzumab to pomalidomide and dexamethasone resulted in a significant improvement over pomalidomide and dexamethasone alone in treatment outcomes of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma."\nNew England Journal of Medicine (11/08/18) Dimopoulos, Meletios A.; Dytfeld, Dominik; Grosicki, Sebastian; et al.

Does Your Auto Insurance Policy Cover Trailers?\nDoes car insurance cover trailers towed behind your vehicle? Does car insurance cover boats and other items towed behind your car? Today, we’re explaining everything you need to know about whether or not auto insurance covers trailers and other items towed behind your vehicle.\nIf you are towing a trailer behind your insured vehicle, then your auto insurance policy may cover it. Most auto insurance policies provide liability coverage for trailers. If you own the trailer, if your vehicle is insured, and if you get into an accident, then you should have liability insurance on your trailer.\nHowever, not all policies work this way. Not all policies from all insurance companies cover trailers, for example. Guidelines vary between states and companies. Some policies may explicitly forbid any type of trailer coverage. Other policies may require your trailer to be listed on your declarations page.\nGenerally, however, your trailer will be covered under your car’s liability coverage. Comprehensive and collision coverage is a different story. Furthermore, certain trailers – and other things towed behind your vehicle – may be exempt from all types of car insurance coverage.\nMany auto insurance policies automatically extend liability coverage to your trailer. The same cannot be said, however, about comprehensive and collision coverage. Many insurance companies require you to buy a separate insurance policy to receive comprehensive or collision coverage.\nSome insurance companies are more generous. They will extend your comprehensive or collision coverage to the trailer without requiring you to buy a separate policy. In other cases, your trailer may need to be listed on the declarations page of your policy to be covered. Or, your insurance company may need to add an endorsement to your policy verifying coverage for your trailer.\nLiability Coverage: Liability coverage covers damage you cause to other people and property during a collision. It may cover the medical expenses of the other driver if you caused an at-fault collision, for example, as well as the cost of repairing the other driver’s vehicle. If your trailer was damaged during a collision with another vehicle, and the other driver was at-fault, then your trailer should be covered by the other driver’s liability insurance.\nCollision Coverage: Collision coverage covers damage to your own vehicle during a collision – even if you were at-fault. It covers the cost of repairing your vehicle to its pre-loss condition. Or, if your car is sufficiently damaged, your insurance company will send you a check for the replacement value of your vehicle.\nComprehensive Coverage: Comprehensive coverage covers your trailer or vehicle in non-accident situations. If your trailer is damaged by hail, for example, or destroyed during a flood, then you may be able to make a claim under your comprehensive damage.\nTalk to your insurance company to verify the type of coverage on your trailer. Depending on your policy, your trailer could have liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage – or no coverage whatsoever.\nUp to this point, we’re assuming you are hauling a trailer with nothing on it. Most auto insurance policies will extend coverage to a trailer towed behind your own vehicle (assuming it’s your own trailer and not a rented trailer).\nHowever, this coverage does not necessarily extend to the item towed on your trailer – like an ATV, RV, a boat, or a separate vehicle.\nSometimes, your auto insurance policy will cover anything on the trailer. In some cases, however, you will need to buy a separate insurance policy – or at least pay to add the item onto your current car insurance policy.\nThis is where insurance companies can vary widely. Some insurance companies will extend liability to your boat and your trailer while it’s being towed behind your vehicle. Typically, they only extend liability insurance – not comprehensive or collision coverage.\nWhich Types of Trailers Are Not Covered by Insurance?\nMost car insurance policies will extend liability coverage to a trailer towed behind your vehicle – assuming your vehicle is insured and you own the trailer.\nHowever, many car insurance policies do not automatically provide comprehensive and collision coverage for your trailer. In order to receive comprehensive and collision coverage, you may need to contact your insurance company and buy a separate policy.

Diamond chips are great accents in small rings.\nDiamond chip engagement rings are a cheap alternative to larger stones and more elaborate designs, and the versatility of diamond chips also helps keep even heavily accented pieces more affordable for couples on a tight budget.\nWhat Is a Diamond Chip?\nSimply put, a diamond chip is a less than fully faceted stone that does not have a complete diamond shape. The chip may be a remnant from when a larger stone was cut and set into jewelry, or it could be just a small diamond that cannot be crafted into a completely finished shape. Some chips are also the result of cutting accidents when a larger stone is shattered but some of the pieces can be reused as accents. Diamond chips are real diamonds, but because of their incomplete shapes they are far less expensive than larger stones.\nWhile some diamond chips are useful and can be fashioned into beautiful pieces of jewelry, a chip taken out of a larger stone has a drastic impact on that stone's value. Losing a chip will disrupt a diamond's symmetry and facets, causing it to reflect and refract light in irregular patterns. This can be particularly devastating for cuts that rely on a specialized light and shadow pattern for their beauty, such as Asscher cuts with their hall-of-mirrors effect or princess cuts with their characteristic interior X pattern. Diamonds with very high clarity, however, can withstand small chips more easily because the stones are so clear that small imperfections are more difficult to notice.\nDiamonds can be chipped by sharp blows, improper cutting, and rough wear; to prevent accidental chips, a diamond ring should always be removed when performing cleaning, sports, or other potentially hazardous tasks, and repairs should only be attempted by qualified jewelers.\nDiamond chips make fabulous accents.\nCenter stones for small carat weight designs.\nAccent stones for bridal set engagement rings or other multi-stone designs.\nSmall accents for elaborate rings such as Celtic engagement rings or filigree engagement rings when the metal is the focal point.\nAccents in pave settings when small stones are more desirable than larger gems.\nCombined chips for illusion and cluster settings to simulate larger gemstones.\nReplacing lost gems in heirloom engagement rings or antique engagement rings for lower cost.\nCreating replicas of vintage engagement ring designs when frugality was valued and chips were frequently used.\nAccents for inset designs where the full body of the gem is not visible, such as scatter settings.\nAccents for figural rings, such as a sparkling eye on a dolphin engagement ring or the center of a flower engagement ring.\nBecause diamond chip engagement rings use only pieces of gems rather than full stones, they are generally less expensive than their more meticulous counterparts, bringing elaborate designs into the price range of many couples.\nBecause a diamond chip already has an incomplete shape, it is important to carefully set the gemstone to maximize its beauty in other ways. Setting chips in platinum, white gold, or silver will accentuate their color, for example. The size of chips can also be enhanced by choosing cluster settings or other multi-stone arrangements that bring several stones in close proximity to one another so their edges can blend together. If a chip is to be used as a focal point of a ring, the setting should be as open as possible so more light can enter and visually enhance the stone, giving it the illusion of a larger size.\nChips may be used in bands.\nBecause diamonds are rare and valuable, many jewelers find uses for diamond chips other than attempting to set them into engagement rings. Chips are a superb accent to other types of diamond jewelry, including necklaces and earrings, where they are often used as both focal points and accents. Chips may also be set into cuff links or other jewelry for men as well as smaller pieces for women.\nDiamond chip engagement rings are affordable, economical choices for many couples, whether they are on a tight budget or are interested in a more elaborate design that would be too expensive with full stones. Regardless of how a chip is used, its sparkle will be just as brilliant as any other gem, and it is still a luxurious and elegant way to symbolize a couple's relationship.

I listened to a talk (download here) this morning regarding how Christians ought to think about The DaVinci Code. Some of you may this is old news and we need to move on with other issues since the movie has proven to be a disappointment (on several levels).\nHowever, in the talk something was mentioned that stuck in my mind. It is something I mentioned while teaching Sunday School yesterday on evangelism. It relates with Romans 1.18-25. As promised I will be posting on how to “do” evangelism.\nConsider this my first post on the topic.\nPaul tells us in his letter to the Romans that men, in their unrighteousness suppress what they know to be true. That is, the myriad of discussions I have had with people who deny that God exists are suppressing the truth that they have ingrained in them (and which is easily perceived in the world). The issue for the Christian is not merely trying to show a non-believer that God exists, it is digging deeper into the person’s life and asking what the reason for their suppression of the truth.\nWhen we have dialogues with people they are not coming to the conversation with a blank slate ready to be convinced. No, they are coming with a childhood where the youth pastor was jerk, church folk unrighteously judged, abuse, etc. In other words, these friends we are talking with have a myriad of reasons they don’t want to believe in God. Rather than press into God they foolishly blame him for sin in their life or in other’s lives. It’s easier that way.\nBy denying the existence of God I have no King who demands my joyful obedience. I can also seem pretty righteous because I’m not like “them.” I can feel intellectually superior because I don’t need the projection of religion (as Freud called it) or a crutch (as Mark penned).\nHumans, by nature, are worshipers. The question is what does one worship. Paul tells us that the unrighteous “exchanged” worship of God for worship of another. He says creature. We should not interpret that as merely snakes, birds, elephants…we should also leave room for human beings.\nThis human worship is expressed either in falling over to touch the arm of a rock star. Or it’s expressed in watching every word and action so people affirm your social graces. Or it’s expressed in having all the right hand gestures when preaching. Or it’s expressed in how many people visit your blog. Okay, enough public confession.\nMy point comes to what was said in the DaVinci talk. The reason why The DaVinci Code has been so popular is due to the fact that worshipers will grasp for anything that gives the least bit of promise to free them from obedience to their Maker. Betrand Russell made the erroneous claim that it was not clear enough that God existed – from the facts on the ground. This is what Proverbs calls foolishness. It is like denying that air exists. More than this, it is rebellion.\nThe reason why The DaVinci Code (and future polemics against Christianity will) flourish is because humans will reach out in the dark for any tom-foolery that will enable them to worship themselves. It has been shown that so much of the blasphemies in The DaVinci Code have no ground to stand on, but people will still tout the claims as true. Skepticism seems so righteous to the fool.\nNext post will be delving into how we can press the legitimacy and truth of Christianity’s claims into the questions and conscience of our friends.

It’s inevitable that sometimes your kids are going to miss school, especially if they fall ill. Despite this, schoolwork continues, meaning when they return there’s bound to be a whole load of assignments that will need completing. At Tutor Doctor we know how important it is to fulfill our responsibilities even when we fall behind a little. That’s why we’ve put together some tips for tackling homework after a school absence.\nDetermine exactly what’s got to be done.\nFirst things first- you need to determine with your child exactly what they need to catch up on. Nowadays this is easier than ever, with schools posting daily updates, weekly quizzes and class-work information on web pages. If this isn’t an option, you can also email your child’s teacher or pop into school and get a detailed list of work that needs completing.\nWe all know big jobs are much easier to manage when they’re broken down into smaller ones. The last thing you want is for your child to feel overwhelmed by their workload, as it will make them feel stressed and not able to perform to the best of their ability. Help your kids prioritise which tasks are the most important and encourage them to start with these. Learning how to break down big projects is a valuable life lesson that will help with your child through school, career and beyond -- so the sooner they learn how to do this effectively the better!\nOnce you’ve prioritised a list of areas in which your child needs to catch up, it’s time to make a plan together. Schedule a reasonable timeline, allowing a few hours a week for them to catch up on the work they’ve missed. For each hour, set smaller goals, such as reading to the end of chapter 3 of the English book they’re studying, or completing a certain section in a textbook. Setting realistic tasks in a structured format is probably going to be the easiest way for your child to gradually get up to speed without feeling overwhelmed.\nIf your child has upcoming exams or has a lot of catching up to do, it may be a good idea for them to stay after school once or twice a week. Not only will the learning environment mean they can concentrate on the task in hand, they can always ask their teacher to stay behind and help them if they’re struggling. After a few weeks, we guarantee they’ll be back on track.\nIt’s going to be hard to catch up with assignments on top of their normal workload, so expect a few speed bumps along the way. The most effective form of encouragement is to try and remain positive and patient, as well as offering firm but gentle guidance. There really is nothing more important than your child knowing they have support along the way!\nFinally, make sure that you don’t leave catching up with schoolwork solely to your child. Every now and again, check in to see how they’re doing. Not only does this show you care, it also lets your kids know that you’re involved and interested while ensuring they don’t ignore outstanding assignments. It’s also important that you see what they’ve been doing -- so don’t be afraid to ask to see schoolbooks, worksheets and laptop work. If you can ensure they’re on track and putting in the effort, small rewards can also go a long way and will be sure to keep them motivated during this short period.

The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.\nIn a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. C10 Motor Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.\nThe control box may have over three terminals.
