Willpower is definitely the ultimate power. A man possessed of immense willpower can work wonders not just in his life but in life of others as well. Everyone has some willpower but most people don't have that in great amount. There are very few people who possess forceful willpower. When the reliance on willpower is …

I was never much of a fan of Country Western Music having grown up on good old Rock and Roll. That all changed when in 1971 I went to a movie theater to see “The Last Picture Show”. Those who have seen the movie may remember that the sound track was all music by the late great Hank Williams. Not only was his music perfect for the back drop to this story about the coming of age in a small Texas town in the 50’s, the music really intrigued me for some strange reason. I became a real fan of his music and developed a keen interest in his life and in the events surrounding his death at the young age of 29. My research of his life through books and documentaries lead me to my own theory of why his life and early death were so tragic. Hank’s story is a familiar one played out by generations of people who are the victims of misinformation, ignorance, prejudice, and our societies worship of the monopolized medical powers that be. You see, Hank Williams suffered greatly all his life from severe and persistent back pain. In all the books written about him, there are several mentions of visits to medical doctors for pain medications. What do you think are the chances that he ever went to a chiropractor! I would say slim to none. Let’s analyze this: if even in our modern world, only 5% of the people are willing to try chiropractic, how much less, people in the decades between the 1920s to early 1950s. This was during the time when well-meaning altruistic chiropractors were routinely being jailed for “practicing medicine without a license.” I think we can safely assume that ole Hank never got to experience the treatment that would have most likely saved him from a lifetime of misery. Numerous studies over the years have shown chiropractic care to have far superior outcomes for back pain compared to other treatments. Yet people are still very unaware of the efficacy and safety record of chiropractic and chose to remain in the dark, even more so in Hank’s days. Hank Williams: Not a picture of Health As anyone who has suffered from this kind of unrelenting pain knows, Hank’s dreadful back pain colored his whole world. Not knowing what else to do, he sought to numb his pain with pain killer drugs and countless bottles of whiskey. He had to endure miles and miles of pothole pitted asphalt traveling from concert to concert while sitting in the back seat of one of his many Cadillacs along the “Lost Highway.” So many of the songs he wrote and recorded were a reflection of the terrible misery that was his constant companion. Sure, he had some happy songs, but there was a huge stack of lesser know songs that he wrote that if listened to or read, would make the hardest of men break down and cry. Hank was in so much pain and so desperate that in December 1951, (the same month I was born) he relented to having back surgery. Considering today’s advanced surgical procedures and yet high incidents of failed back surgeries, think of the crude surgery that must have been performed on poor old Hank’s back! Hank could barely stand up due to the pain, drugs, and alcohol at his first performance several weeks after his back surgery. He had a hard time remember words to songs and his performance was so bad that he was booed and several people walked out of the theatre. The combination of severe back pain, pain pills, and whiskey created an impossible relationship with his wife Audrey and she filed for divorce. This broken, dejected, and wasted “old” man of 29 deteriorated over the next year, the last year of his life. He cried out for help and his cries were “answered” by his medical doctor, Toby Marshall, and ex-con. Doctor Marshall prescribed a narcotic sedative, Chloral Hydrate (now known to be potentially lethal). Hank died in the back seat of his Cadillac somewhere on route to his next concert in Canton Ohio on New Years day, 1953. He had a premonition and, I believe, a longing to be in his heavenly home and away from his pain. A few days before he died, his pain was so bad he couldn’t even sleep in bed so he went to the chapel in St. Jude’s Hospital and said, “Ole Hank needs to straighten up some things with the Man.” Somehow he know he wouldn’t be around long. His new wife of two months, Billie Jean, asked him, “Hank, what in the world is the matter with you?” Hank replied, “Every time I close my eyes, I see Jesus coming down the road.” Hank finally found relief on that New Years Day. Could it possibly be that ignorance, prejudice, ego, greed, and arrogance are at the root cause of many illnesses and early death? Sadly, the story of Hank Williams, although famous, is not all that unique in the world that we live in.

A short sale is an agreement of sale where the owner owes more money to the bank than the property is worth. Typically, the borrower (seller) can’t maintain mortgage payments, and the bank allows the property to be sold at a loss instead of going all the way through the foreclosure process. With a short sale, the consumer typically doesn’t have a foreclosure or a deficiency judgment. The consumer hopes to walk away with his credit mostly intact. Homeowners who are experiencing a financial hardship often turn to a short sale to avoid foreclosure or bankruptcy. On the other end of the spectrum, many investors are anxious to buy short sale properties because they are usually bargains. There are countless websites and books about “How To Do Short Sales” and “Investing in Real Estate.” In reality, there are good buys on short sales, but there may also be a high price to pay. The process of locating, buying a short sale, and working through the legal and emotional complications of a short sale is not for everyone. What are the potential benefits of selling a home with a short sale? There are many benefits to selling your house as a short sale. We have outlined a few of the main benefits of selling your house as a short sale. Depending on your own specific situation, the benefits can be significant and include and/or all of the following: ​ Eliminating any deficiencies on a first and/or second mortgage; Working out an arrangement with the lender avoids any legal action later; Avoiding a costly foreclosure and staying out of public record filings; Selling at a short sale helps both homeowners and lenders get a fair price for the property and liquidate a declining asset;-Possibly avoiding bankruptcy; Wrap up a bad investment with no loose ends or lingering liability. What are the benefits of a short sale for a home buyer? The are many great short sale opportunities for buyers in our current real estate market. However, many people mistakenly assume that the very status of a property as a “short sale” home listing makes it a bargain. This is a dangerous approach to real estate investing. The benefits of a short sale for a buyer are determined by the particular transaction, not a formula or universal criteria. If you are interested in buying a short sale home, it could prove to be a lucrative and rewarding experience. This is especially true when you hire a professional to make sure that you avoid making the common mistakes that most investors make. What are the challenges when buying a short sale home? A short sale usually means that the home has decreased in value since the last sale, and maybe in a declining market. Additionally, short sale homes are sold “as is” without any representations or warranties from the lender, so a thorough inspection is advisable. Further, it can take much longer to close a short sale transaction because the lender must approve all aspects of the deal. When buying a short sale, or considering a short sale home, investors should be aware that lenders typically refuse to pay for common items such as: Suggested repairs on a home from an inspection; Pest control (even if it is determined the home has such problems); Roof certifications or roof repairs; Home protection plans; Deferred maintenance; and Seller assists. What is the Short Sale Process in Pennsylvania? A "short sale" purchase agreement is first reviewed with the sellers. In the case of multiple offers, the listing agent, along with any attorneys for the seller, will do their best to choose an offer to present to the lien holder(s). Price although a high priority, is NOT always the determining factor. The agreement for sale has the option of many contingencies in an attempt to protect the buyer. The seller’s advisers need to understand the possible effect these contingencies may have on the agreement to survive until settlement. After the offer is accepted by the seller, both the seller and buyer will be required to submit financial information to the lienholder to help the bank evaluate the seller(s) situation. The lien holder will be very interested in the buyer’s ability to purchase the property and the buyer’s willingness to extend the time needed to complete this process. Each time a buyer gets frustrated and walks from their agreement, the process has to start over again for the seller and the new buyer. All new documentation is required even if a prior short sale was approved OR very close to being approved. This approval is NOT transferable even if the new offer is for more money. Real Estate Agents & Short Sales If you think a short sale might be right for you, it is critical you work with the right professionals. Real Estate Agents are paid only on short sales that actually close, which can create a terrible conflict of interest if closing the short sale would not be in the homeowner’s best interest. For instance, lenders frequently ask homeowners to sign a promissory note or specifically agree to liability after the transaction closes. Closing a short sale on these terms actually makes the homeowner worse off. Only a qualified real estate and short sale attorney can give you legal advice and fully represent your interests. Unfortunately, our office represents many homeowners in deficiency actions where the homeowner was not advised by his or her realtor that the bank was not releasing the deficiency onthe mortgage. Consequently, it is very important to get legal advice from someone who is REALLY on your side. We represent you at NO cost and are paid directly by the bank and buyer in most situations.

My sister called me last week and asked me to cut out a large V to use as a signboard for her niece’s wedding on the 26th. She wants to paint and finish it. We went back and forth with the idea and finally settled on a 22″ x 20″ oval with a large V cut out in the middle and the date engraved at the bottom. She found a free font that she liked and sent me a link. I cut it all out on Friday night. On Saturday morning I dropped off my older son at his Boy Scout Troop house at 8:00 am for a trip down to the Newport Beach Back Bay to go kayaking. Once I got back home I gave the top of the V a coat of dark walnut danish oil so that my sister could see what it looked like. She plans on painting the rest of it. I made a bridge for my son’s old Cub Scout Pack a couple of years ago when he was a Webelo 2. We sold a lot of popcorn that year and were able to start a new Pack. My younger son is in the new Pack and some of the other dads are building a giant Cub Scout bridge and asked me to engrave the Scout Law into the new treads. I started those when I got home and ran into a major issue with the CNC machine. When I lifted the router up 1 1/2″ the belt on top that controls the z axis became a little loose and slipped while making the first pass. This made the bit go 3 times deeper than I intended. One of the benefits of having to build the CNC machine is that you can take it apart and work on any problems that might arise. I was able to take the motor mount apart and get everything aligned and tightened up. This gave me enough time to get the word trustworthy cut into the first tread and then it was time to get my oil changed and then pick up my son. My sister and her husband came out for dinner and the wedding sign. We went over several option for paint and stain and they headed home. Sunday morning was my company picnic and we got home around 3:30 pm. I was able to get another tread carved on Sunday night and then one more last night. My goal is to have the other 10 done by Friday.

The 'D' scale rates a woman on her dirtyness using a scale of 1 to 10. A rating of D1 is extreme frigidity whereas a D10 is positively prolapsed - a good score is somewhere around a D6. What do you reckon that woman is on the 'D' Scale? A woman who prefers missionary, no oral is a D3, D4 likes receiving oral whereas a D5 likes receiving and giving. A D6 likes a finger up the bumhole and a d6/7 likes anal. A D8 is quite rare and perhaps likes two's up and a D9/D10 has had many years of being battered up the rear.

A local attempting the famous Kalea Borroka 8b+, sector El Pati, Siurana. This large overhang has been my battleground for the past week or so. On Sunday I did a simply gobsmacking new 8b+ called Dogma that breaks left out of Kalea and heads way off into the sky above with cruxes and bat hangs a-plenty. Tomorrow it's battle day with an equally brilliant 8c just to the left. Sport climber’s breakfast for me, mountain guide’s breakfast for Donald. What about Ewan? My guess is he finished his ages ago. Harold the bug. Keeping us company on rest days in the wendy house. More pics on Gaz's blog (of Siurana climbing, not Harold, that is).

In the early 1900s, my great-great-grandmother Luiza immigrated from Italy to Brazil. It wasn’t until 1995 that someone in the family decided to travel outside of the country: that was my mom. At the age of 24, my mom decided to study English in the United States. Though she initially intended to stay for only one year, she received a parting gift from my grandparents. They handed my mom a small crucifix statue that fit in the palm of her hand, and they said “This is to protect you. Whenever you need it, just pray with it.” It was the only thing given to my mom before her trip to the U.S. Then, 4 months into her studies, my mom met my dad. Eight months later, as her year in the U.S. came to a close, she had to make a decision: return to Brazil or stay for love. Fast forward 5 years, my mom hadn’t finished college, my parents were married, and I was born. Unfortunately, 8 years later, my parents divorced and my mom was left a single parent with no college degree. Through times like those, I would constantly see this small statue. Though it was through this project that I came to discover she has always had the statue with her. To this day, she still carries it wherever she goes. Over two decades later – despite my mom’s age and frequent difficulty with the English language in an academic setting – my mom has returned to college with hopes of pursuing social work. I am incredibly proud of her, and I know for a fact that when she graduates, her little statue will be with her.

I only joined this community last night. As of right now, I've only read a few threads and commented on one, but I can already say this much. Thank you. When I commented, I expected to be admonished for it. Most places avoid women's topics like the plague, and even within those that embrace it, my observations would've been seen as controversial. I expected to come back to a torrent of anger and "feminism" and insults, but there was only encouragement and calm, rational discussion. The feeling of understanding, acceptance, and knowing that others have personal experience regarding those observations was completely overwhelming, and for a moment I realized that that is what we put up with. It's like waking up from an abusive relationship. This what we normalize. And maybe, just maybe, we don't have to. So even though it may have only been 1 post, thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone in seeing these things. Thank you for acknowledging that these issues exist, and for discussing them as adults. And thank you for sharing your stories and making me feel like maybe I'm not alone in dealing with these issues. There's a lot of reading and commenting ahead of me, and I'm greatly looking forward to every minute of it. I'll see you around. :) 8 likes 4 comments Share Join the conversation...

SALARY ISSUES The state pay system is plagued by market lag (the State’s own annual salary comparisons in 2016 showed that pay for State positions lags behind comparable private sector, federal, and local government positions by 27% or more and salary compression – where newer employees at times must make the same salary or more than senior employees in the same job in order to recruit and retain new workers). Total compensation is no longer competitive to comparable positions in the private sector due to a combination of low salaries and changes in retirement benefits. The General Assembly began to address the market lag and salary compression issues with actions in 2013 and again in 2015. A contingent appropriation for an across-the-board increase in 2016 was canceled due to a revenue shortfall. An across the board 3 percent increase was given in 2017 and further pay action is necessary to compete with private sector salaries. Support: • An across-the-board base pay increase in FY 2018 to prevent the private/public market pay gap from worsening;

The past seven days have been fruitful for our club rugby structures and we remain in good spirits following more good news from our DHL WP Rugby Women’s squad. The good news from our Women’s Rugby Division this past week was the conclusion of the round-robin of the Women’s Premier Division and our DHL WP Rugby Women’s Team ending on top of the log. We now host the Border Ladies at DHL Newlands in the finals on 16 July 2021. We go into the match as defending champions after securing the national title in 2019, 2018, and 2017. The team amassed an incredible 343 points with only 73 points scored against them and a points difference of 270. The pre-season strength and conditioning training has clearly paid dividends. Last week saw the resumption of our online workshops for clubs as we presented a webinar on club membership recruitment and rejuvenation. The session looked at various recruitment methods which include growing segments of the club such as youth, women and girls, and past players. The presentation placed a lot of emphasis on the fact that club administrators should continuously look to grow their members base beyond only those that play as registered members. Additionally, we considered that community sport is under global pressure to find creative ways to stimulate membership and as such we reminded our clubs of the importance of staying connected with their members and fans. Simple solutions such as sharing birthday wishes on WhatsApp, congratulating a member on a newborn or sharing an old photo memory will go a long way towards letting your members know you still care and are always thinking of their interest. Our next webinar is now for club leadership this Monday as we look at the “Role of the Executive”. This workshop is geared to supporting our club structures with the administrative function of a club structure. In this space, we realise that most amateur sports administrators are volunteers and need as much support and guidance as possible. Any club executive member wishing to attend this workshop should be in touch with their club secretary to signup. Last week Thursday saw our Club High-Performance structures present another workshop for just over seventy of our club coaches. The session was presented by DHL WP Rugby Skills coach Labeeb Levy who delivered a fascinating first-hand view of skills for attacking rugby at a professional level and the work behind the scenes. After a week off from training and following the return from the national team and their experience in the international series, our DHL WP Rugby u20 players now return to training at the HPC as they prepare for the upcoming u20 Currie Cup. As you know we continue our drive to grow Women’s Rugby and we remind our clubs to appoint a Women’s Representative within their club structure so that we may engage in a meaningful full manner. This person will be dedicated to the task of growing the Women’s structure at their respective club. Any person wishing to take on this role to help their club can sign up here. We will then invite you to the various engagements which are structured to place you in a position to take up the challenges with the tools you need. Further to the initiative to grow Women’s Rugby at club level, we have now embarked on an additional campaign ie “The Women’s Collective” this collective is made up of WP Rugby Women’s players, coaches, and administrators who formerly represented WP Rugby together with our current players. This group of leaders and role models will engage regularly to share experiences and memories to help stimulate the excitement of Women’s rugby.

Neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran provides an introduction to how we study the brain’s deficits using three cool examples: Capgras syndrome: where a man looks at his mother and says: “It looks like my mother but she’s an imposter.” How can a person recognise his mother’s face yet feel it’s not her? Phantom limbs: why would an amputated limb still hurt? Can this pain be relieved? Synaesthesia: Numbers are colours. Notes are colours. Cross-talk between the senses has a higher incidence in creative people: why?

There are dozens of places to grab a gyro around Southwest Michigan, but none are quite like Nick's on Michigan Ave near the Western Michigan University campus in Kalamazoo. Why? Because at Nick's you get the fries served right in the pita. It's like the Primanti Bros of gyros - Primanti Bros is the Pittsburgh based chain that serves their french fries right on their sandwiches - and they recently opened up their first Michigan locations in suburban Detroit. Other than the fries in the pita, Nick's also makes available a spicier sauce as an addition or alternative to the traditional tzatziki sauce.

A court in the Pakistani province of Punjab has acquitted two men charged in connection with a suicide bomb attack on a Shia mosque in Sialkot. At least 30 people died in the attack on 2 October 2004, and dozens of others were injured. The anti-terrorism court said that the prosecution had failed to provide conclusive proof against the two. A defence lawyer told the BBC that the original police report mentioned only one person as being involved. That person was the alleged bomber who is believed to have died when he joined the Shia prayer meeting and detonated a bomb inside an attaché case. The BBC's Shahid Malik in Lahore says that the two people acquitted were implicated by police at a later stage. They were arrested near the southern city of Multan a few months ago on charges of aiding and abetting the attack. But prosecution witnesses at the anti-terrorism court - sitting inside the central jail in Gujranwala for security reasons - were not able to establish a link between the pair and the suicide bomber, defence lawyer Asghar Rokari said. "We had applied to the court to quash the charges against the two, and our plea has been upheld," he said.

Everyone is talking about it. It’s early March and 9 hours of coast to coast (or wall to wall) sunshine. “It’s always like this on Tiree” was the remark at the pier. This was said in view of the day that we had yesterday. The wind was gusting to 75mph for much of the day. Scarinish Old Harbour Roof tiles (or slates) were doing a merry dance. Homes on the island lost electricity – some for almost 24h hours and some for just a few. You had to be careful opening your car door.

Slalom skiing is the main reason I own a boat. My kids and I free ski on public water but still have friends that wakeskate, wake board, tube, surf, etc. All the lake life activities. If I could pick an ideal boat (with my limited knowledge) I would love to have a 1999-2004 Malibu Sunsetter LXI. Great hull for slalom but still a bigger boat for all the non-morning people! BUT I don't really want another 20 year old boat with 800+ hours on it. I want less side spray, better wake and more room than my 2000 Calabria Laguna. So, any recommendations for boats I should be searching for that are 10-12 years old? Thanks in advance for your input! Tagged: boats 0 Comments chrislandy Posts: 373 Crazy Baller July 26 2010 Nautique 200 with tower and back seats would be a good find, lots of storage, fair size internally, depending on budget I'd push for a 2014 ProStar (first of the newer shape) if you can find one at the right price - absolutely massive inside, is surfable (for a ski boat) and will see you though for 10 years or so 0 BraceMaker Posts: 5,211 Mega Baller July 26 Just be careful with a 14 if at altitude you might get one with the earlier transmission and be a bit struggle bus if you're much above sea level 0 MT_SKI_MT Posts: 2 July 26 Yes, we generally ski on a lake above 6000 ft. Any thoughts on the Response FXI? 0 buechsr Posts: 202 Baller July 26 Good luck finding an fxi. I think the era sunsetter lxi you refer to is unicorn for your needs. I've owned 2 of those. Great boats and don't let hours scare you. At worst, new long block is cheap and easy to replace. No one has mentioned VTX yet, but as long as you're looking for the first iteration, will slalom decently. Same hull as the Fxi. I really don't see the appeal in the fxi compared to older sunsetter lxis. Might look for response lxis too.

Coming in one track shy of the seven that made up 2016’s mini-LP, Talk Tight, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever is back almost exactly one year later with The French Press. The six songs that found their way onto the Australian quintet’s new EP harken back to a pre-Spotify world when jangly, upbeat guitar pop acts from Down Under, like The Lucksmiths, Ben Lee, and The Go-Betweens dominated international indie pop fans’ mixtapes and boutique record label compilations. While comparisons to musical predecessors from RBCF’s homeland are unavoidable, the new EP’s title track, which opens the record, is perhaps most immediately reminiscent of Hershey, Pennsylvania indie pop stalwart’s The Ocean Blue. With a dreamily strummed flourish and a quick, steady beat, “French Press” starts things off in fine form, gently easing the listener in with earnestly sung, universally relatable lyrics like, “You find out who your friends are when the city’s cold.” The album’s lead single, “Julie’s Place”, takes advantage of the band’s extra pair of hands. A sustained electric guitar lead sneaks in and follows just beneath quickly strummed acoustics as casually sung lyrics pleasantly contrast the tempo, creating tension until the song’s soaring chorus arrives. “Sick Bug” finds the band changing gears a bit, utilizing minor chord turns to add a moodier edge without letting up on the accelerator. French Press’ second half offers little deviation in terms of tempo and approach. Listeners expecting a ballad amongst this latest batch will be disappointed. All things considered, however, the collection is remarkably strong in terms of songwriting quality and overall enjoyability. Still, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever fans waiting for a curveball in terms of pace and style may have to wait a bit longer.

iGaming Tracker’s latest research reveals casino supplier market share across 20 top betting sites VS. 20 top casino-focused websites in the UK. iGaming Tracker’s latest research shows supplier market share of casino games across 20 of the top sports betting websites compared with 20 of the top casino-focused websites in the UK. By Ken Muir, director, iGaming Tracker. The market share is calculated as the duration of a provider’s games in the top 25 positions of the websites’ main pages. The size of the bubbles in the visualisations below equates to the respective market share of each supplier. Playtech dominates for sports sites Unsurprisingly maybe, Playtech dominated supplier market share across betting sites and casino-only (pure play) sites during the period 1st to 31st May, 2017. However its share was proportionately lower on casino sites, while Swedish casino specialist NetEnt is just behind. Playtech’s dominance on UK betting sites is largely due to its exclusive tabs, which are present on many of the largest UK sportsbooks. If you take these pages out of the analysis, i.e. analyse “non-exclusive” pages, Playtech ranks 8th in sports and 4th on casino sites. These rankings are helped by Playtech’s recent acquisitions of Quickspin and Eyecon. Brands owned by sportsbook operators have a significant share The growing share of “own brand” games on sports betting sites is becoming more and more prominent. Paddy Power Betfair’s Cayetano, Sky Bet’s Core Gaming and Ladbrokes Coral’s CR Games all appear in the top 20 games suppliers, even when looking at 20 sports websites as a whole. We will look at this trend in more detail in a future article. Supplier mix changes when you compare sports vs. casino Some suppliers have a larger market share in sports betting sites, some have a larger share on dedicated casino sites. IGT and Netent have a bigger share in the dedicated casino sites. When you take out the exclusive pages of Playtech on the betting sites and look at the non-exclusive pages it is evident that Blueprint Gaming has a bigger share on the sports sites compared to dedicated casino sites. Some suppliers over-index in the top positions The visualisation looks at the 25 most prominent game positions on each main page of the sites. However, the mix changes if you look at all the game positions. For example when you look at non-exclusive casino pages on the sports betting websites SG Interactive ranks third behind Blueprint Gaming in second. But if you look at all positions SG Interactive has a bigger share of games than Blueprint Gaming. Other games suppliers that over-index in the top positions are IGT and NextGen. Games suppliers that under-index in the top positions are Microgaming and iSoftbet. iGaming Tracker – how it works iGaming Tracker tracks hundreds of casino sites worldwide every day. From this data it can assess which games are on what sites and where they are positioned on the pages. It can also measure the market share of casino games suppliers by percentage or “real estate” on casino sites at any given date. For more information visit or email How the data was compiled Website pages listed below were tracked daily from 1st – 31st May. If a site has multiple tabs (e.g. “Arcade” and “Vegas”) both pages are taken into account. “Table” games such as roulette are excluded from the analysis. Owned companies are aggregated, for example Quickspin and Eyecon are grouped with Playtech. The analysis looks at the top 25 positions on each page only. Sites are tracked every 24 hours. The pages monitored for this analysis were desktop pages only.

Purpose: a place to list weird side effects, surprises, and ... gripes, with regards to the concept of Wiki Wiki webs, or Wiki in short. Related pages: content specific : Comments on the Tcl'ers Wiki Wikit implemention : Suggestions for Wikit Bug reports : Wikit Problems. JC: Some of the comments below ought to be moved to the above (new) ones, I think The concept of Wiki is fascinating. Here's a list of thing which may need some improvement, please feel free to add notes: URL recognition is tricky, "(URL)" links to "URL)", for example. Bold and italic can be used only once on each line of text (wrapped lines count as one). There's no good excuse for this, it's just a bit trickier to implement. It's yet another formatting convention (albeit a very simple one) - the basic requirement being that it must display well as HTML, and on Tk. A secondary goal is to make it reasonably obvious and readable as plain text. AK: I would like to embed image references and have the converter recognize them, showing the image instead of a simple link. AK: I could have added this to Comments on the Tcl'ers Wiki, but my solution is more a general Wiki thing, so I did it here instead. I found no links to Gripes, Suggestions and Comments pages other than in the ChangeLog itself. It might be nice to have some sort of overview page containing references to all pages in the Wiki Web (Sitemap). AK: Ok, I found the main references to the pages mentioned above, in Jean-Claude Wipplers page, but I think it illustrates a general problem. A Wiki usually grows in unpredecented ways, and very unstructured, thus easily causing the "lost in (hyper)space" syndrome: Where am I, where were I, how do I find X. I believe that at least one (trusted) user, in case of complex Wiki's some more, should try to "moderate" an area. Hm. ... I am not thinking of moderation in the sense of "pre-edit approval", it is more like gardening. First a spurt(?) of growth, then the moderator/gardener starts weeding (removing OT-post), structures the contents into something more coherent, afterward the next cycle of growth and weeding begins. These phases may overlap, of course. JC: Does the new search capability compensate for the lack of a site map? 1999 Mar 9, AK: I thought to say "yes", but then I noticed that the search facility cuts the returned result at 50 entries, just like the recent page. So I have to say "Not quite". A sitemap tells us what we have, in a clear manner. Using a search facility however is more like being blind and probing, we don't know about the possible contents of the site, what we can search for. 1999 Mar 9 DGP: What I miss most is a Table of Contents/Index/Site Map. Since The Tcler's Wiki is promoted as the entry point, there ought to be available on that page, or on a page linked by that page, some way to find all the pages there are. I thought the New Pages page might be it, but it seems not. I first entered the Wiki on package management, following AK's link in c.l.t. I don't think I could have ever found that starting from The Tcler's Wiki. 1999 Mar 9, AK, Remark: My link in c.l.t. used a feature of this wiki, the auto-search. If the url given to the cgi does not match the various standard formats (nn.html, [email protected], nn!, ..., nn a number) it will start a search for possibly matching pages. A single word must be used, but capitalization can be used to mark inner components. The search will automatically add * between them before starting the search (LaVi => La*Vi for example). 1999 Mar 9, AK: The recent changes page is a quite good approximation of a sitemap, but currently had the problem that some huge content (Books, Tcl-URL!) was added to the wiki in the last days, overflowing the limit of 50 entries quite drastically. Many of the useful other pages were ousted because of this. Setting the limit to 100 entries could. BSA 23-Mar-1999: Q: Why do we have to edit in yet another special format, What is wrong with just using html? (other than complexity for new users). NB I am new to the wiki experience and haven't read the FAQ if indeed there is a link to it here. AK, Mar 24, 1999: IMHO you already gave the answer: complexity for new users. A wiki tries to encourage readers to start writing too. A (simple) formatting language which is mainly text with interspersed commands should fare better in this regard than something like HTML, where it is quite easy to get lost in heaps of markup with interspersed fragments of text. It's up to the people writing the Wiki to make sure that new users can find their way around. On Ward Cunningham's wiki this is done by a writing pages to welcome new users and roadmap pages for major topics. DGP, 1999 April 20: It's really annoying that you can't italicize more than once per line. Also, how does one include a literal "[" in their text ( I guess I just did. ) without triggering another page marker. It's awkward trying to document Tcl usage with these quirks. JC: On normal lines (not bullet lists and such), you can italicize by starting a new line, since formatting codes are recognized per line, even though they end up concatenated into one, see WOBBLE for an example. Brackets can be escaped by doubling them. Like [ and ]. I've added a note in the Formatting Rules page, thanks. BG, 2000 Jan 2: I found that good old buggy Netscape would crash consistently once the single textarea post data grew enough. I had to crank up good old WebTk [1] to get the form to post. RS, 2000-03-15: I'd like to be able to include Unicode entitities like 中国 in a Wiki page, but the ampersands get escaped, even with one or two backslashes in front. 2000-03-21: A more general thought, prompted by PS: Why not allow embedded HTML which will pass through unchanged? This will allow Unicodes or other entities, embedded images, etc. Could look something like This is normal WikiML <HTML><h2>Chinese Header 中</h2></HTML> ---- And now we're back to WikiML again. and everything between <HTML> and </HTML> would be copied as-is. DKF, 2000-03-21: The problem is two-fold. Firstly, this Wiki is designed to be accessed by routes other than over the web (apparently) and these do not necessarily understand how to render HTML fully. Secondly, embedding arbitrary HTML allows some really nasty tricks with tables, frames, javascript (think of the damage you can do with onLoad), etc. Prohibiting these forces people to concentrate on real content with relatively little pain. And how do you handle the use of Unicode escapes when the browser says it cannot handle such stuff? Passing off Unicode in such situations is downright rude... RS, 2000-03-21: Well.. we have kind of a class society where some browsers (getting more) can display Unicodes, and other can't (and show a question mark instead - also depends on the fonts you have, etc.). I see the point against arbitrary HTML, but &entities; (;-) can't do much more harm than being rendered as a "?", so I still advocate allowing them. JC, same day: Yes, richer content (and how about images?) sounds attractive. It's true that Wikit runs as both CGI-generating-HTML and as local Tk app. Both of these wil probably handle extended character sets quite well nowadays (I still use an 8.0 Tclkit for this web site, but I have an 8.3-based one ready to go). Also, Richard Hipp's TkHTML widget is up to an amazing level of functionality, so HTML in local mode is becoming a more realistic option (I'll need to check the Mac side). But what kept me from making all sorts of changes, is that the current setup works well from a more modest goal and "if it ain't broke don't fix it" (whether it is broken or lacking new features is debatable). I find the current wiki markup pleasant to use as is. So here's my next excuse (hey, I have loads of 'em): Tclkit and the scripted document mechanism are both undergoing major changes. The new Tclkit uses Matt Newman's Virtual File System (VFS) approach, which is a fascinating way to hide differences between file systems and databases. So I've been sort of holding back (for months now), before going into Wikit again and changing things. To prove that these excuses are not completely lame: Tclkit 8.3 has become viable about a week ago, and I've started switching to it in a commercial project only two days ago. So there is measurable progress. Not that it's enough to make a difference for the issues raised here yet... :o( If someone wants to work on some of this, let me know. It would make a good excuse for me to bring Wikit to the new setup, and it'll be much easier to modify and try out things, because with VFS you could run Wikit either as a scripted document or from a regular directory with a set of scripts. Bryan Oakley, 2000-05-15: I wish that multiple references to the same external document would have the same number in []'s. For example, the following two references both point to the same location, but appear as distinct numbers: [2] [3]. Dossy, 2001-05-14: It seems that surrounding text that contains parenthesis by a pair of single-quotes (to try and italicize it) doesn't work: this is a test (and will fail) because of the parenthesis between the pairs of single-quotes. Interesting, was this fixed (my Wikit may be old and outdated by now ...) Ah, it seems to be when there's a matching set of single-quotes (') between a pair of single quotes ... that's a big drag. Is there a "right way" of doing this, other than to break up lines and surround each with a pair of single-quotes? AEC, 2002-05-03: I acquired tclkit from the downloads page and renamed it to tclkit.exe: 30-Apr-2002 05:55 862k. Wikit.bin.txt was next downloaded: /pub/tk/examples/wikit.bin 07-Nov-2000 01:45 43k. A windows shortcut was created to run wikit. I executed this shortcut by clicking on it. Several new pages created within wikit. I navigated among the pages and then exited the application. When I attempted to restart the application the following error message appeared: couldn't read file error I am running on a windows NT workstation. Is this a known error? Is there a fix? JCW, same day - I'm looking into this now, got another similar bug report a few days ago, so it looks like I messed up some sort of compatibility issue. Note that you can salvage all page contents with "wikitool", see [4]. escargo 3 Mar 2003 - The following text gave me unexpected results when I added it to my own page. I don't know if this is a problem with Formatting Rules not covering this case, or if there is a problem with interpreting the markup. Contrast the editable versions of these two pairs of lines (not the same!): The use of it's instead of its (where the possessive is intended) The use of it's instead of its (where the possessive is intended) The use of it's instead of its The use of it's instead of its It looks like some parser is getting thrown by the parenthetical. The first two lines appear the same in display format, but they should not. Also, didn't there used to be a link from the front page to the Graffiti page? It's not there anymore. Also, if you search for "graf" you will find three pages, probably two more than are really needed: Graffiti grafitti graffitti escargo 6 Mar 2003 - If I use the Search page and search for "test" I do not get references for titles that contain "tcltest". Is there are reason why? Yes - Wikit searchs are prefix anchored. Thus, when you search for test, you will find titles with the words test, tests, testing, testable. However, tcltest has test as a suffix - which the search will not find. Do a full text search (search for test*) and I believe then you should find tcltest. escargo 7 Mar 2003 - Using the search box and entering a search for "*test" produced No matches found (so the results of searching for "test", "*test", and "test*" produce radically different results). There does not appear to be any way to do a wild card search of just the titles. That seems like a significant functional limitation. LV The code for the wikit is available, and there's even a mailing list (see TclersWiki) for discussing proposed enhancements, etc. escargo 7 Mar 2003 - There is no link to the Formatting Rules from the front page. You can only see it from an editing page. LV well, I've added a link now. Thanks for pointing out the missing functionality. escargo 7 Mar 2003 - The wiki is capable of displaying bold, italic text. There is nothing in the Formatting Rules that indicates how such text can be entered. LV Oh, you are asking about how to create text that is both bold and italic? I think that is a fair conclusion to reach. Examples of it should be in the Formatting Rules. And I have added it now. It was interesting to see how one, two, three, four, and five single quote marks affected the surrounded text. This must just be my day for noticing things. This is from the front page: "For basic syntax reference see Tcl syntax help and Tk syntax help in this wiki, or the official Tcl/Tk Manual (now for v8.4a2)...." Somehow I don't think the official manual is still at v8.4a2. LV Fixed! Note that it is fine for you, or anyone else, to fix things like this when you see them. BPB Is there going to be a way to enter HTML tables? jdc The Wikitcl markup optionally supports the <<inlinehtml>>, but this is disabled for the Tcler's wiki. WJP How about adding a "random topic" button to the front page? If you're in the mood to learn something but not looking for anything in particular that can be an interesting way to browse. Freshmeat has a "random project" offering that I use from time to time. jdc Done. IDG Nov. 2010. - What's the point of the rigamarole that now occurs when you try to access the deltas on the 'recent changes' page? (Only happens if you don't have a wiki.tcl.tk cookie, but...) AMG: To discourage spiders from eating up all the server CPU time. AMG: I'm really not sure where to report wiki issues these days, so I'll just use this space. The user IP addresses are all owned by Cloudflare and don't provide any information about the actual users making posts to this wiki. Either we need to fix this feature or remove it.

Sound Pine Farm is located in Brunswick, Maine. We grow on two acres of land nestled at the mouth of Middle Bay Cove. To grow your food, we rely on cultivating a healthy farm ecosystem without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. We do this by applying organic compost, providing natural habitat for beneficial organisms, cover cropping, and crop rotation. Our farm is CSA-focused. This means that we are committed to providing our CSA members with the highest quality produce and the greatest abundance possible. With our truly Free-Choice CSA, we aim to create a CSA experience that gives you what you want at a great value. The Farmers Alessia and Virginia both grew up in Ithaca, New York, and met on the high school rowing team. While in college at Cornell’s School of Agriculture and Life Sciences, their love of farming was ignited through working at Dilmun Hill, the university’s student-run farm. Following graduation, Virginia and Alessia pursued a few non-farming adventures across the US, until their inevitable return to agriculture here in Maine. Together, the two managed Crystal Spring Farm’s vegetable CSA in Brunswick for two years, before deciding to strike out on their own. Alessia Alessia grew up in Ithaca, NY but has family ties to the Brunswick area, and had always imagined moving to Maine someday. Before her two seasons at Crystal Spring Farm, Alessia wore hats as a manager at Dilmun Hill, Cornell’s student-run farm, as a naturalist/programmer at the Wild Center Natural History Museum in the Adirondacks, and as a livestock farmer and educator at Merck Forest and Farmland Center in Rupert, Vermont. After Virginia’s first season at Crystal Spring Farm, she convinced Alessia to come join her there, and the rest is history. Alessia owes her love of plants and food to her parents– her father has always had an extensive fruit and vegetable garden, and someone has yet to feed her a better meal than her Italian mother. Virginia Virginia has always felt a strong connection to food and farming, whether it be from her family’s vegetable garden, the flourishing farmers market, or helping her mother in the kitchen. After spending time as a seabird biologist in the Gulf of Maine, and working in environmental education in Hawai’i, Virginia made her way back to Ithaca and worked on Plowbreak Farm, Blue Heron Farm, and Nook & Cranny Farm. After searching for an area to put down her own roots, Virginia settled on Maine and started working at Crystal Spring Farm in 2016, where she stayed for three seasons. Her time on these farms has strengthened her feeling that there is no greater reward than growing food for her community.

Feed efficiency, feed costs are the largest expenses on your dairy, so getting the most milk possible from each pound fed to your cows has a tremendous impact on profitability. Many factors impact how well a cow converts feed to milk, including heat and humidity, feed quality, breed, reproductive status and other factors. But how and what you feed cows has the greatest impact. Joel Pankowski, Manager of Field Technical Services for Arm & Hammer Animal and Food production offers four factors to consider when emphasizing feed efficiency in your herd: Be consistent Precision and accuracy are important to avoid feed variation. Deliver the same ration to your cow at the same time, every time. This includes collecting and measuring refusals. Dedicate a person or small group of employees to manage the feeding system to reduce inconsistencies. Measure by lactation stage Create a feed efficiency index by dividing energy corrected milk by estimated dry matter intake. Feed efficiency changes depending on where cows are in their lactation cycle. As a guideline, fresh and high producing, early lactation cows will generally be more efficient and have a feed efficiency number around 1.6. These cows mobilize more body reserves, eat less and make high volumes of milk. In contrast, late lactation cows could be around 1.3. These cows aren’t producing as much milk and tend to gain weight. Feed high quality forages Higher quality forages tend to move through the cow at a faster rate compared to forages with lower digestibility. This difference in digestibility impacts feed efficiency, as forages that are more digestible have a greater impact on rumen performance and milk production. Include the right feed ingredients To improve feed efficiency, use ingredients that fit into two categories: 1- Those that improve rumen microbial growth. These ingredients would increase microbial growth and allow for better breakdown of feed ingredients. 2- Rumen bypass supplements. As the description suggests, these products go past the rumen and directly to the hind gut to deliver nutrients the cow can’t deliver through fermentation in the rumen. Even as feeding and nutrition impacts feed efficiency, the genetics of the cow play a role as well. A genomic test has been developed to help producers identify and select for cows that do a better job of converting feed to milk. As feed costs and milk prices fluctuate, it’s important to stay on top of feed efficiency. Consistent delivery of a ration that includes high quality forages and feed ingredients that deliver optimal nutrients in the rumen and hind gut help with feed conversion, regardless of stage of lactation. For more information about improving feed efficiency on your dairy, including how to use genomics to select a more efficient herd, watch this Bovinews webinar.

“I’d enjoy being a council member.” His voice lowered. “I never hoped to be offered a position. Only a few have opened since it was established.” “You don’t hold elections every few years for positions the way Earth Government does?” “No. A member is good at what they do or they are replaced by someone the remaining members ask to join. Our system works well.” “Take the job then,” she urged. “I hope it pays well too because I have no idea how I’m going to help support us. I meant to ask you about that. I don’t suppose you guys need a few bounty hunters to chase down criminals here, do you?” “We don’t have a monetary system the way Earth does and crime is rare on Garden. Everyone is given housing, clothing and food. Your service status does earn you better living spaces in the buildings with superior views and larger quarters.” Eve let that settle in. “Seriously?” “Yes.” “What if you’re on the bottom floor? Is it bad? Do they make those cyborgs live in a closet-sized room and wear secondhand clothing?” He chuckled. “No. They are all comfortable living spaces but we value the views. That’s deemed important. Everyone has access to clothing and food in the same amounts. We only ask for what we need. It is how our award system works. It is merit based, but no one suffers or does without.” “That’s so weird but cool if the system really works.” He reached out and fingered a lock of her hair. “Don’t compare cyborgs to humans. Our population never starves or needs to endure bad living conditions.” “I think I might like this place.” “It’s your home now.” Zorus interrupted them when he entered the hallway. “Let’s go to my office.” Eve took Blackie’s hand and they followed the council member. They didn’t speak until they reached his office and the door closed. “You could have warned me.” Blackie sighed. Zorus shrugged. “I thought it would mean more if you heard it from them. You deserve to be on the council. Your dedication has always been noted.” He shifted his focus to Eve. “I hope your encounter with Parlis and Jazel hasn’t prejudiced you against the other members. You have just joined a family unit with Blackie and you should know that it is customary that a male joined in a family unit asks the woman for permission to change his status. You should really consider the good he could do as a council member before you order him to decline.” “We’re mated but I’m not a control freak. It’s Blackie’s decision to make.” Zorus chuckled. “You chose well, Blackie. Forming a family unit with a human was the best thing to ever happen to me when I met Charlie. They are so unlike our women.” “Thank you.” She’d take that as a compliment after everything she’d been told about cyborg women. “Blackie said you could arrange for us to formally get married. I told him we’re already mated so it doesn’t really matter but he likes things all legal like.” “We want to have a small joining ceremony with just a few guests.” Zorus rounded his desk and picked up an electronic device. “I can arrange that. How soon?” “Tonight.” Blackie didn’t hesitate. “Done.” Zorus glanced between them. “Do you have a list of who you’d like to attend?” Blackie started to speak but the door suddenly flew open and slammed into the wall from the force. Eve spun, expecting an attack. The woman cyborg who stomped in wasn’t holding a weapon but her hands were fisted at her sides. She was tall, muscular, and wore a dark uniform. Zorus placed the pad down on his desk with a loud thump. “What are you doing here, Fusion? You dare enter my office without an appointment?” The woman halted, glared at him then gave Eve a concentrated examination from head to foot. She finally centered her anger on Blackie. “I just read the report. You brought her to Garden and plan to form a family unit? Is that correct?” Eve instantly disliked the other woman. “Who are you?” The cyborg ignored her. “We have a prior agreement, Blackie. I came to protest your application.” Blackie’s anger was clear. “You have no right to file a protest.” Eve’s heart did a number in her chest as the implications became clear. She peered up at her mate. “Who is she?” Eve whispered as jealousy tore through her. She imagined any woman who had come to protest their marriage must be an ex-lover of his. Blackie’s gaze snapped toward her but before he could answer the woman continued. “I do have that right,” the woman spoke before he could. “He once stated that he’d consider joining my family unit before all others.” “She’s someone I’ve served with aboard several vessels.” He took a threatening step closer to the cyborg. “I only said that to avoid an argument. The words were not a contract of obligation. It was a polite refusal.” Fusion shrugged. “The words were still stated. You will join my family unit.” “I refuse!” Blackie spun on Zorus. “I did not obligate myself to anything.” Eve studied the other woman and hated how much it hurt, picturing Blackie touching and kissing her. His taste in women wasn’t that great, she decided. The woman was attractive enough but she was Eve’s opposite in coloring and size. “Fusion,” Zorus cleared his throat, “this is unacceptable. Leave my office. You are causing a scene.” “I don’t care.” She actually stomped her foot. “I want him. Refuse his request and add him to my family unit. We’ll finally be even for what you owe me.” “What is going on?” Eve hadn’t expected anyone to show up and try to steal her mate. “Blackie?” She latched on to his arm, demanding his attention. He clasped his hand over hers, trapping it in place as he met her gaze. “I don’t know.” “Is she your ex-lover?” He appeared horrified. “No. I never tested our compatibility.” “What the hell does that mean? The council asked that about Danica and Gene but I couldn’t exactly say anything at the time.” “It is when a male and female have sex and share living quarters to see if they are an acceptable match.” “You never f**ked her?” “No.” Eve believed him. Anger surged as she returned her attention to the equally livid cyborg woman. “I don’t know what your problem is but we’re already mated. It’s a done deal. You can’t have him.” “You have no say in this.” “Don’t speak to my mate that way,” Blackie warned. “You’re the one who has no say in this, Fusion.” That comment motivated Fusion to shoot him a dirty look. “She’s human and canine. She is beneath you.” “Enough!” Zorus roared the word. It took him a second to get his temper under control, judging by his expression. “Leave, Fusion. Do not insult that woman again. She deserves our respect.” “I know what she is. I read the report from the council. She’s a dog! Pat her on the head and then tell her to fetch another male.” It was a deliberate insult and Eve felt her claws slide out of her fingertips. She wanted to smack Fusion. She tugged out of Blackie’s hold as a soft, warning growl emanated from the back of her throat. “At least I’m wanted by him. You’re sounding kind of pathetic by trying to force a man to be with you. Grab a clue, supposedly superior. I might be a canine unit but you’re the bitch in this room.” Blackie wrapped his arm around her waist, his hold firm enough to keep her in place if she lunged to attack. It upset her that he felt protective of the cyborg woman. She tore her attention from the woman, pissed off that he would see her hurt expression. “I won’t allow you to fight.” “You dare insult me?” Fusion sounded closer. “Let’s fight for him, dog. I’ll put you in your place.” Eve turned her head, glared at the woman. She struggled in her mate’s hold, more than ready to draw blood. Blackie wrapped his other arm around her, his hold comparable to thick bands of steel. He lifted her in front of him until her feet left the floor and pressed his lips against her ear. “Eve,” he crooned, “calm down. She’s attempting to provoke you.” “And she’s succeeding. Let me at her.” Zorus stepped between her and her target, his back to Eve as he faced Fusion. “Leave the council chambers now, Fusion. That is an order. You came here to start trouble but I won’t allow it. Blackie refused your offer. Go.” “No,” the woman spat. “You are going to add him to my family unit. I need his status.” What the hell is going on? Eve wiggled to see around the tall cyborg in her path but her mate refused to let her down. She could have used her claws to tear into his arms to force him to release her but it wasn’t an option. She could never injure him. “I see.” Zorus’ tone changed to a softer one. “I completely understand.” “I knew you would.” A smug smile curved the cyborg woman’s lips. “I expect the upgrade immediately and for you to give that little dog to someone else to care for. I don’t want her anywhere near Blackie. I don’t allow my men to touch anyone else.” Panic set in. “NO! She can’t have my mate.” Eve renewed her struggles. “I’ll kill her first.” “Zorus!” Blackie sounded equally shaken. “You can’t agree to this. I refuse!” The male didn’t even glance back at them. “You admitted to reading council files and it was mentioned Blackie would replace Parlis on the council.” “I deserve it. Darius was given the highest status and now I’ll have the same as my brother.” “You deserve something,” Zorus agreed. “Fine, Fusion. We’ll do this here in front of witnesses. In the past you’ve attempted to use our biological connection to manipulate me and get your way. You are the product of theft from my body while I was being held on Earth. They didn’t ask if I’d donate my sperm for the experiments that created you. I wouldn’t have even known of your existence if it weren’t for the tests we performed to discover possible defects in breeding pacts because of our unknown genetic connections. You will never be my daughter in a familial sense.” Eve stopped wiggling to get free of Blackie’s hold, realizing Zorus wasn’t agreeing to hand him over to Fusion. She calmed enough to follow the conversation. Zorus continued after an awkward silence. “I wish I had reared you. You might have turned out better but it is doubtful after the mistakes I made with my son. You have always wanted what he was given but it didn’t make him a better individual. I know exactly how cruel and calculating you are. I will never forget the reports I was shown six years ago when you were allowed to interrogate a human male who was captured. It gave me nightmares and that is difficult to do. I’ve also paid attention to the medical reports that were filed about your two males. You’re abusive to them, yet they can’t complain or they’d never be allowed to join another family unit. You’d be that vindictive if they attempted to leave by stating they were unworthy of other women.” “That’s not true. I don’t abuse my men.” Fusion didn’t sound sincere though. Her voice had cracked a little. “Don’t lie to me,” Zorus demanded in an icy tone. “Steel filed a complaint about your mental state while you were assigned to his ship when he refused your attempts to gain his status. That is when I looked deeper into your life. Every time one of your family unit males is on Garden, they end up in Medical with various injuries after spending time with you. I have let it slide, though, because of our association. No more.”

The Internet Identity Workshop continues to be a central nucleus for thoughtful discussion and development of all things related to digital identity. The most recent workshop, which was held in mid-April, was no exception. Despite the lack of in-person interaction due to the ongoing global pandemic, this IIW was as lively as ever, bringing together a diverse set of stakeholders from across the globe to share experiences, swap perspectives, and engage in healthy debates. One common theme this year was the continued development and adoption of BBS+ signatures, a type of multi-message cryptographic digital signature that enables selective disclosure of verifiable credentials. We first introduced this technology at IIW30 in April 2020, and have been inspired and delighted by the community’s embrace and contribution to this effort across the board. In the year since, progress has been made in a variety of areas, from standards-level support to independent implementations and advanced feature support. We thought we’d take a moment to round up some of the significant developments surrounding BBS+ signatures and highlight a few of the top items to pay attention to going forward. Over the past few months, the linked data proofs reference implementation of BBS+ published a new release that introduces a variety of improvements in efficiency and security, including formal alignment to the W3C CCG Security Vocab v3 definitions. In addition, support for JSON-LD BBS+ signatures was added to the VC HTTP API, making it possible to test this functionality in an interoperable way with other vendors participating in an open environment. An important element in enabling BBS+ signatures is using what’s known as a pairing-friendly curve; for our purposes we use BLS12–381. We have seen some promising signs of adoption for this key pair, with multiple Decentralized Identifier (DID) methods — both did:indy from Hyperledger and did:ion from DIF — indicating they intend to add or already have support for these keys, allowing BBS+ signatures to be issued across a variety of decentralised networks and ecosystems. This development is possible due to the fact that BBS+ signatures is a ledger-independent approach to selective disclosure, effectively no custom logic or bespoke infrastructure is needed for these digital signatures to be created, used and understood. In addition, the Hyperledger Aries project has been hard at work developing interoperable and ledger-agnostic capabilities in open source. The method used to track interop targets within the cohort and ultimately measure conformance against Aries standards is what’s known as an Aries Interop Profile (AIP). A major upcoming update to AIP will add support for additional DID methods, key types and credential formats, as well as introducing Aries support for JSON-LD BBS+ signatures as part of AIP 2.0. This will allow Aries-driven credential issuance and presentation protocols to work natively with BBS+ credentials, making that functionality broadly available for those in the Aries community and beyond. There have also been a number of exciting developments when it comes to independent implementations of BBS+ signatures. Animo Solutions has recently implemented JSON-LD BBS+ signatures support into the popular open-source codebase Hyperledger Aries Cloud Agent Python (ACA-Py). In another independent effort, Trinsic has contributed an implementation of JSON-LD BBS+ credentials which they have demonstrated to be working in tandem with DIDComm v2, a secure messaging protocol based on DIDs. Implementations such as these help to demonstrate that open standards are transparent, can be understood and verified independently, and can be implemented with separate languages and tech stacks. They also set the groundwork for demonstrating real testing-driven interoperability via mechanisms such as the VC HTTP API and AIP 2.0. We are continuously looking to improve the documentation of these specs and standards so that their implications and nuances can be more broadly understood by builders and developers looking to engage with the technology. On the cryptographic side of things, progress is also being made in hardening the existing BBS+ specification as well as expanding BBS+ to support more advanced privacy-preserving features. A significant development in this area is the work of cryptographer Michael Lodder who has been actively conducting research on an enhanced credential revocation mechanism using cryptographic accumulators with BBS+. This approach presents a promising alternative to existing solutions that allow authoritative issuers to update the status of issued credentials without compromising the privacy of the credential holder or subject who may be presenting the credential. We see this as another application of BBS+ signatures in the context of verifiable credentials that carries a lot of potential in pushing this technology to an even more robust state. There was also initial discussion and tacit agreement to create a new cryptography-focused working group at Decentralized Identity Foundation. As the new WG drafts its charter, the first work item of this group will be the BBS+ Signatures spec which defines the cryptographic scheme known as BBS+ agnostic of its application in areas such as linked data signatures or verifiable credentials. In the future, this WG will likely evolve to include other crypto-related work items from the community. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the momentum and development building around this technology in the community. We couldn’t be more excited about the future of BBS+ signatures, especially as we gear up to tackle the next set of hard problems in this area including privacy-preserving subject authentication and revocation using cryptographic accumulators. If you’re interested we encourage you to get involved, either by contributing to the Linked Data Proofs specification, checking out our reference implementations, or participating in the new WG at DIF, to name but a few of the many ways to engage with this work. We look forward to doing this retrospective at many IIWs to come, documenting the ever-growing community that continues to champion this technology in dynamic and interesting ways. This blog was originally posted on Medium. Get in touch with us Our technologies give you powerful ways to build trust and prove things about people. If you’ve got a use case and want to see what it might look like, we’d love to talk to you about it.

About being blind, literally and metaphorically. About not seeing the danger until it’s too late. About feeling isolated, as does Rune, a young man working as a systems administrator at a telemarketing company, a place where all other employees are blind or severely visually impaired. Rune is lonely and trusts no one, not even Tilde, a colleague with whom he falls in love. Though she and everybody else around him are blind, he feels watched and persecuted. Paranoia blooms, and he is finally compelled to act. “From the very first line, Astrid Saalbach builds up the text until it completely encircles the terrifying story in The Call. There’s not one word too many nor one too few … a story one cannot shrug off … And just like in The End of The World, her play from 2003, Astrid Saalbach has added drops of magic to The Call, leaving one doubting what is a dream and what is reality.” Dagbladet Information. “Astrid Saalbach’s both funny and chilling thriller … In The Call, Saalbach, one of Danish theater’s most important playwrights, sets out to crush the language … it’s masterfully done.” Weekendavisen. “Astrid Saalbach writes with her x-ray vision directed at the human psyche and with a deeply human reference … one of Denmark’s shrewdest and most capable play-crafters … The Call’s passion and pain make it enormously impressive. In less than two hours, Saalbach, in her usual psychological thriller-like way, sets in play a number of fundamental human themes … The Call can’t easily be shrugged off … This is top-shelf, long-lasting, suction-cup-theater.” Five stars. Kirsten Dahl, Århus Stiftstidende. “Can Astrid Saalbach still write superb plays? You bet! … The Call is powerful, original in theme and dialogue – almost exclusively short, condensed sentences, often lacking subject … ingeniously, the play circles having the courage to choose and to see life in other ways than through the eyes.” Five stars. Jyllands-Posten. “A powerful text that leaves the audience with food for thought. One can be blind in more than one way – one can be visually impaired, or blind to reality.” Four stars. Ungtteaterblod.dk. The Stylists (2014). Play for 5 women. F, a middle aged woman in a crisis, spies on four young women in a small hair salon, the center of femininity. Using all means at her disposal, F attempts to get close to them: Mette, Jorun, Trine, and the recently arrived Boogie, a stranger with a shadowy past and a remarkable talent for accounting. Who are these women? Who are their many customers? Who is F, herself? What is it that clouds her conscience? When Boogie disappears, F’s dubious enterprise is brutally revealed. A tragicomic play about being a woman and having difficulties with other women. About gender as construction, biology, or a curse. About fiction and reality, and losing one’s way between the two. “At the core, the play is an astute description of women’s feeling of impotence when it is allowed to grow to nightmarish dimensions. It’s a sharp look at a world of women where men are incompetent, and where “readiness for change” is nothing but a cliché in the Cosmopolitan magazine. Director Søren Iversen summons the mildest, wildest and weirdest in his charming female ensemble, and the players soar with hormones and humour.” Anne Middelboe Christensen, Information. “Astrid Saalbach’s new play about a stranger entering a claustrophobic house of mirrors is both witty and wacky. A danse macabre where realism and evil dreams meet. It’s rough and grotesque. But it’s … also satire on a high level.” Klaus Rothstein, Weekendavisen. “Entertaining, innovative and well put together. Full of funny and outlandish characters and episodes, that – at least for me – ring true. Handles big subjects, especially for women, worth considering for everybody.” Katrine Tøt, Kulturshot. “Good comic performances by five strong women. The salon symbolises an oppressive culture that holds women to impossible standards of beauty. The many changes of roles and masks is an interesting device in the play’s depiction of women as dress dolls, whose looks are dictated by men.” Three stars. Kristian Husted, Politiken. “Aesthetically superb. A requiem in a house of mirrors, a mass for the estranged pseudo-female. The stage design by Stine Martinsen, who is also now starring at Folketeatret and Göteborg Stadsteater, is a precise metaphor for women’s never-ending self-reflecting emptiness, featuring moments of beautiful transformations.” Maria Ciccia Smidl, Sceno. LITTLE SOLDIER (2013). SHORT MONOLOGUE FOR 1 WOMAN. A short monologue about a female soldier, recently returned from war. Commissioned by the French theatre Comedie de Valence. Published in the theatre journal Teater 1. Translated to French. Red and Green (2010). Play for 3 women and 2 men. A group of European aid workers in a third-world country torn by civil war, somewhat like Nepal. One person is homesick, another disconnected herself long ago, yet others are drifting, having lost their sense of place. Promiscuity is rampant, and while testing private and professional limits, all try in different ways to repress the fact their work may do more harm than good. A kaleidoscopic tale of power and impotence. “Red and Green have traces of a Strindberg chamber play, a contemporary Ghost Sonata with complex and bickering characters.” Nummer.se: “Surprises at regular intervals, and Saalbach neatly joins the first and the last scene.” Lars Ring, Svenska Dagbladet “The words of Sofi Helleday miss the mark each time with wonderful precision … One is embarrassed by each new Caucasian arrogance, as if it were your own. If you laugh – and you will after all – you will feel the laughter sticking in your throat. Because what you are served is the bitter truth.” Ingegärd Waaranperä, Dagens Nyheter “Saalbach’s words always sting either one’s dreams or one’s conscience. As a spectator to her plays, you are being mirrored so wryly and shrilly that you cannot avoid realizing the reflection is partly true … Practically every perversion is displayed with a grotesque humour in a story that goes topsy turvey.” Anne Middelboe Christensen, Information “A comedy about the white colonial master and his wife, who heartily confuses one guest with another, and death with a party. In any case, this is a superb display of human destruction.” Per Theil, Politiken “Dramaturgically, Saalbach has put the concluding scene first and allowed the other scenes to be played non-linearly, leaving the puzzle unsolved until the last minute. Crafty work. And her art of writing lines – characters speaking almost without employing subjects – contributes to an amputated, threatening rhythm in the dialogues, causing them cleverly to remove themselves from realism.” Jacob Steen Olsen, Berlingske Tidende Premiered at Stockholm City Theatre, 2010. Staged in Denmark, Poland, United States, and other countries. Translated to Swedish, Norwegian, English, Polish, and French. Published in book form in Danish (with Pietà) by Gyldendal and in the theatre journal Theatre Forum. PIETÀ (2007). PLAY FOR 1 WOMAN AND 1 SUPERNUMERARY MALE. Rie, a middle-aged woman with a little too much going on in her life and career, wakes up with a dreadful hangover. She finds herself in a hotel room. Next to her lies a young man she does not know. He lies somewhat too quietly. “Aarhus Theatre’s production of Astrid Saalbach’s award-winning monologue is the best so far, the most accomplished and totally surprising.” Lars Wredstrøm, Børsen “This is about something other and more than the story in Death of a Salesman, the sad fate of a single human … Because the tragedy of this woman, Rie, also is the fact she has lived by the rules of men. She has become like them. She has worshipped false gods.” Jakob Steen Olsen, Berlingske Tidende “The ground gradually disappears beneath her with an inevitable, fatal logic, somewhat like in a Greek tragedy. Things can only go from bad to worse, but in high spirits, with black humour.” Monna Dithmer, Politiken First produced at Stockholm’s City Theatre. Played in Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Faroe Islands, Italy, Norway, and Sweden. Published in book form in Danish (with Red and Green) by Gyldendal, and in Estonian. Translated to German, English, Czech, and French. The End of the World (2003). Play for 3 women and 2 men. Xenia, a younger air hostess, has just landed after an exhausting long-haul flight. During the last part of her return home, she gets lost. She meets a strange young girl, who would rather have been a horse. The young girl leads her into a world beyond our time zones, a world where airplanes of a distant past fell from the sky without reason, and where children are exchanged for roller suitcases. In this world, all of Xenia’s dreams come true, dreams she neglected in her earlier life. A play about transformation, passion, and loss that may be the beginning of something new. “One is truly and cruelly captured by the story, told in a straightforward manner, but also spanning dream-play with imaginary creatures and social criticism with outrageous clones.” Monna Dithmer, Politiken “Set in a non-terrestrial universe, half realism, half dream, to capture the oddly complex experience of sizing up life in middle-age … A beautifully orchestrated work with fabulous, supersonic realizations.” Me Lund, Berlingske Tidende “A condensed and disturbing account of the modern woman and the modern reality.” Rikke Rottensten, Kristeligt Dagblad Premiered at Husets Teater, Copenhagen. Played at Aarhus Teater, Odense Teater, Divadlo na Vinohrady, Prague, Theatre du Trillium, Ottawa, and Rogaland Teater, Stavanger. Reading at Comedie Francaise, Paris, and Alexandrinsky New Stage, Sankt Petersburg. Published in book form in Danish by Gyldendal, and in French, Romanian, and Chinese. Translated to German and English. THE COLD HEART (2002). PLAY FOR 4 WOMEN AND 3 MEN. One winter’s night, Sophie, a young drug-addicted prostitute, shoots up in a cellar shaft and finds herself at the Royal Palace. Like The Little Match Girl, she enters the warm palace, and gets engaged to the Crown Prince. All is happiness, but catastrophe lurks in the shape of a valet, who knows the real identity of the princess. This is a contemporary fairy tale about the rise from the bottom to the highest pinnacle and about royalty in a Freudian sense. “A great, compelling tale of dreams with a somewhat distancing comic element … Powerful and complex images.” Mikkel Wallentin, Politiken “A humorous, satiric fairytale with tragedy lurking under the surface.” Jens Kistrup, Weekendavisen Premiered at The Royal Theatre, Copenhagen. Played at Aarhus Theatre, The National Scene, Bergen, the International Theatre Festival in Saint Petersburg, and at Theatre Galeasen, Stockholm. Published in book form in Danish by Rosinante. ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST (1998). PLAY FOR 4 WOMEN AND 2 MEN. A man and a woman – mature, well-educated, with promising careers ahead of them – begin a love affair. Everything looks bright. But considerations for his children from a previous marriage makes the man leave the woman he loves. Love turns to hate. Aplay about guilt and obsession, and the mysterious forces that govern us and can drive us to terrible and inconceivable actions. “Brief. Tough. Sparkling with wit. Disturbing. This contemporary tragedy … is gripping and moving in a manner almost unprecedented in Denmark.” Me Lund, Berlingske Tidende “Almost unbearably brilliant.” Anne Middelboe Christensen, Information Premiered at Aarhus Theatre, 1998. Played at Husets Theatre, Copenhagen, Odense Theatre and Rogaland Theatre, Stavanger. Published in book form in Danish by Rosinante. THE BLESSED CHILD (1996). PLAY FOR 4 WOMEN AND 2 MEN. Part One takes place in the present, where Malte and Victor have just started school, and their parents are far too preoccupied by what the children must learn. Part Two takes place approximately thirty years in the future, where women have a monopoly on power, but nothing to use it for, and men are reduced to slaves or prostitutes. No children born survive. But then Victor, who has become Victoria, gives birth to an especially resilient kid – the first of the new species, which Malte predicted will take over Earth, and those who tell the story … A comedy about the end of the family, fear for the future, and the monsters generated by this fear. “A critique of society, a poetic dystopia, a mystery about the final decades of our civilization.” Jette Lundbo Levy, Information “The scope and resilience of the play are as reckless as they are formidable.” Monna Dithmer, Politiken Premiered at Aarhus Theatre, 1996. Played at Husets Theatre, Copenhagen, Rogaland Theatre, Stavanger, Hvidovre Theatre, Copenhagen, Uppsala Theatre, Uppsala, and Halcyon Theatre, Chicago. Performing rights have been acquired by Dramaten in Stockholm. Published in book form in Danish by Rosinante. MORNING AND EVENING (1993). PLAY FOR 4 WOMEN AND 3 MEN. One morning, seven people, each in their own way on the edge of life and of society, declare their biggest wishes for the future. When they meet again the same evening, they are privileged persons, with new names and identities, barely resembling who they were in the morning. Some wishes have been granted, others not, some have been mixed up. They dine, amuse themselves, experience various complications, and drift into the night, which suddenly seems to become eternal. “Morning and Evening revolves around loss of existential depth, of love, and of natural relation to the greatness of life and death. Not peevish. Not reactionary, and certainly not moralizing.” Me Lund, Berlingske Tidende “The story disintegrates and splits into the smallest components, a series of atomic leitmotifs wander from person to person, from situation to situation, varied and combined in all possible manners between tragedy and farce … Morning and Evening is harsh in its mapping of unhappiness – or rather of non-happiness, and encouraging in its identification of a cause and outlining a responsibility.” Michael Bonnesen, Politiken Premiered at Aarhus Theatre. Produced at Husets Theatre, Riksteatern, Stockholm City Theatre, Östgöta Theatre, Rogaland Theatre, Stavanger, Hampstead Theatre, London, Guelph Theatre, and the National Theatre of Riga. Readings at the Theatre Festival in Strasbourg, and at the Theatre Biennale in Bonn. Published in book form in Danish by Rosinante, and in French, English, and American editions. Translated to German. FORNICATION (1992). PLAY FOR 1 WOMAN AND 1 SUPERNUMERARY MALE. A middle-aged female terrorist in an African country buys herself sex with an Arab man. The text is a contribution to The 7 Deadly Sins, with the other six parts written by Carsten Jensen, Morti Vizki, Jens-Martin Eriksen, Julie Wieth, Pia Tafdrup, and T. S. Høeg. MYUNG (1989). TELEVISION DRAMA. A couple with teenage children adopt a five-year old girl from Korea, named Myung, who, with her much wider experience in life, becomes a challenge they cannot handle. “With an effective use of flashback, she lets us into an exciting psychological thriller, with Myung as the central character, around whom everything revolves in the cosy country idyll.” Jens Bech, Jyllands-Posten Broadcast on TV by Danish Broadcasting Corporation. THE DANCING LESSON (1986). PLAY FOR 7 WOMEN AND 1 MAN. Seven women of various ages and shapes turn up for their weekly classical ballet lesson. The teacher is a former ballerina, whose body has been ruined by the dance, which she is now trying to pass on. During the lesson, her power over the pupils, and their ferocious, uninhibited love for and dependency on her is revealed. They compete for her attention and praise. She praises some, punishes others, and makes everybody dance until they no longer know who they are. A play about the body and the consequences of it being set free. “Told with a sensitive humour of a kind that also exposes suffering and longing. The mutual fights, woman against woman, during the weekly dancing lesson, can appear desperately funny and turn to desperate release when they are allowed to live out their suppressed feelings.” Viggo Sørensen, Jyllands-Posten “The strikingly painful deficit of warmth and love, the ambiguous motherliness, at once near and remote, the vulnerability of the bodies, and the both tragic and comic revelations of suffering endured – there’s purification in bodily suffering.” Bettina Heltberg, Politiken Premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, 1986. Played at the National Theatre in Oslo, Aarhus Theatre, in Prague (where after fourteen seasons it is still on), in several other cities in the Czech Republic, in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Slovakia. Translated to German. THE INVISIBLE CITY (1986). PLAY FOR 4 WOMEN. A young woman is employed on trial at a nursing home, which turns out to be more than crowded. Being eager to make herself useful, she quickly adapts to the unusual working conditions. As time passes, the world outside disappears, and she gets drawn into a game between the employees and the elderly residents. A play about oblivion, death, and the willingness of women to sacrifice themselves. “A scathing look at a major and still growing social problem (discrimination against the elderly) and as a vision of a world where people are making themselves inhuman by dehumanizing others.” Jens Kistrup, Berlingske Tidende “Harsh and moving, shocking and funny.” Bent Mohn, Politiken Premiered at Folketeatret in Copenhagen, 1986. Played at Aalborg Theatre, in Sweden, Norway, and at Teatro Dell Orologio in Rome. A FADING WORLD (1984). TELEVISION DRAMA. A young student is on her way out in a world that she does not understand.

1. The year was again financially very successful. There was an excess of income over expenditure of £7154.39 compared to £4470.16 in 1999 an increase of £2684.23. This unusual difference was due to an extraordinary increase in donations (up £1430), additional Central Board of Finance (CBF) interest (up £453) and because there was no substantial expenditure on Repairs and Maintenance (£1123 in 1999). The excess funds have been invested in the CBF until such time as they are required. £25000 of the total funds of £28658.31 have been reserved towards the cost of future Church restorations when they have been approved by the PCC. These are expected to commence in 2001.

(c) Shop and plants, down £59.14, despite the efforts of Alan Uglow and others on plant stalls which produced £250.55. (d) Stalls, down £49.78.

Sunday Teas The sale of refreshments on Sunday afternoons to raise funds was continued from April to October. The net total was £462.42, a considerable decrease of £103.90 from 1999, possibly due to the fairly inclement weather during the year. 9.

Seriously, when it comes to scrapbooking supplies, I want it all! I can control myself when it comes to clothing, even shoes and purses...But when it comes to the store, it's so hard. There are so many cute things to buy! Met a new sales rep today, and she brought me so many tempting things! While it's definately a fun part of owning a store, it's can also be the hardest. What do I like? What do I like that will sell? And what don't I like, but I know will sell anyway? For instance, I don't like water paper. But I did buy some last year because it was a great price, and I thought, I think people do like this stuff...and of course it sold like hot cakes! nd just speaking of paper...it's the hardest thing to bring in. Every one wants new paper, but it's the most expensive to buy. It costs $10 - $18 just to bring in one paper pack, and there are usually 6 prints to each style. But it takes time to get that money back before you start making a profit (I have some paper in my clearance bin that I've had more than a year!) I'm bringing in at least 4 new paper lines this week, so you do the math...It gets expensive quick! So I have at least 5 catalogs to go through and wish and drool over...I am hoping I do so well this weekend I can order what I want. Then again, I may bomb, right? Ugh! I think I've been having panic attacks for weeks now. Just a couple more days and my first convention show will be over. PLease let me do Okay...so I can buy more paper. LOL Posted by Shelby at 3/24/2009 11:06:00 pm 2 comments: Susie's Site said... Love your site! Thursday, 26 March, 2009 Shelby said... Thanks, Susie! I am hoping to sell a lot at this convention this weekend, so I can buy even more cook stuff! You should see my wish list.... LOL It's bigger than a 10 year old at Christmas looking at the old Sear's Wish books - (remember those?)

THE BOSS was designed as a board for the average surfer in average conditions. With healthy volume, paddle power based on volume and area rather than a flatter rocker and lots of tail area, you can still cut back on soft sections but still feel solid down the line when there's a little more punch. The board continues to carry as the power backs off, yet with the generous outline curve through the tail and advanced rocker, it's still loose to pump for speed and will fit in the pocket for a decent reo if required. A good all round board if you live on the East Coast of Oz, or softer locations that have similar power to Southern California. I have personally had great waves on the Boss in Thailand, Malaysia, Bali, soft summer waves in West Oz and Sri Lanka. Keep in mind that a Sri Lankan double overhead wave is considerably softer than waves further south in the Indian Ocean, so while the board can still handle some size, it still needs to be softer.

Because I began working with war veterans in the mid-1970s, I had contact with a number of World War II combat veterans between then and the 1980s. What I found most remarkable among many of these men was that despite the powerful emotional and psychological effects of their PTSD, many were able to carve out a civilian life in which they got married, had children, and worked to support their families. This was done because they had no options for treatment or support available to them from either the government or their communities, mainly because of our lack of understanding of the powerful and usually lifelong effects of war trauma on human beings. They basically learned to “bite the bullet” and make the best of the life they were dealt. One such individual who stands out in my memory is an Army infantry man who was stationed on the European front with his unit. Their assignment was to give heavy artillery support to the men on the front lines and they were based by a river, living in tents. Their base was frequently attacked and strafed by Nazi Messerschmitts, and each time they took heavy casualties because they had nowhere to hide. Within months of this assignment, this veteran developed profound symptoms of combat stress based on his belief that he would die with every German attack. He forced himself to complete his work assignment and when he returned to Minnesota, he got married, became trained as an optician, and opened up his own small clinic in the town where he and his wife lived. He said that within a couple of years of starting his practice, he would experience frequent anxiety and panic attacks that disabled him from doing his work. Eventually he went to his local physician for help, but that did not help, and on one occasion he suggested to his physician that he should contact the Minneapolis VA to see if they could be of greater help. His physician discounted that idea, calling the VA a welfare system that robs people of their integrity. Because of this response, the veteran gave up the idea of contacting the VA and tried to live out his life by “biting the bullet”. He placed a cot in a back room of his office, and for the rest of his occupational life, he would take timeouts from his work with clients when overcome by his panic attacks or anxiety by retreating to the back room to rest and wait out those attacks. He said that his primary source of support was his wife, who was understanding and helpful to him in his hard times. Unfortunately, his wife died when they were in their early 60’s and his psychological stability dissolved because he lost his primary support person. He was not able to continue his work and his panic attacks and other symptoms of PTSD became overwhelming and uncontrollable. Although we were able to give him some relief from the effects of his PTSD, it was in the twilight of his life and after too many years of “white knuckle” living. This was true of many other World War II veterans who also had to “tough out” their lives on their own because of the lack of understanding by our society of the effects of combat trauma on veterans and the lack of effective services and support for those veterans. Probably the saddest examples of such veterans are the “town drunks” who quite often were homeless veterans who used alcohol for self-medication. Frequently, they were criticized and made fun of by other community members. Many of these men were war heroes who were honorably discharged from their service branches, but were so affected by their war traumas that they could not pull themselves together and function effectively as civilians. Our country, and the world, did not learn well from the effects of war trauma on veterans in either of the first two world wars, and Korean and Vietnam war veterans who suffered from combat trauma and stress were also by and large ignored and inadequately treated by our country, including the VA hospitals. Not only did we not give serious concern to the effects of combat stress on veterans until the late 1970’s, but we also failed to recognize the adverse effect of sending soldiers into political wars where our objective was not to win and conquer the enemy. Wars became politically controlled, with our government’s concern being focused on not upsetting other world powers by restricting war zones and creating rules of war and conditions that restrained soldiers from engaging in full combat with enemy soldiers who were not restrained by the same rules. The Korean War was our first politically controlled war. It was a civil war between North and South Korea, and the United Nations decided to intervene in defense of South Korea to stop the communist government of North Korea. The United States became involved as one of the United Nations countries that sent troops, but our troops made up 90% of the total number of soldiers sent to Korea by United Nations countries. Because of our country’s concerns about the two communist world powers who supported North Korea, China and Russia, we fought a war to stop the North Koreans from passing the 38th parallel of Korea rather than trying to defeat them. The North Koreans were eventually stopped at the 38th parallel, but at an enormous loss of soldier and civilian lives over a three-year period. Because this was not an all-out war to defeat the enemy, our government called it the Korean Conflict rather than war and, along with our citizens, minimized and ignored the war after its conclusion, thus causing it to be called “the forgotten war” and, unfortunately for the men who fought in that war, they became the “forgotten soldiers”. Not only were our Korean War veterans deprived of the opportunity to win a war, they were also denigrated by our country’s reluctance to call it nothing more than a conflict. Understandably, most Korean vets came back to the country and retreated into their own communities and lives, becoming our country’s invisible soldiers. Most did not seek support from their communities or the VA systems mainly because of their desires to keep their war services to themselves in what became a highly ignorant and uncaring national environment. They, too, suffered all of the anguish of their war traumas, but they did it in silence. During the late 1970’s and into the 1990’s, I had the opportunity to meet and provide services to a number of Korean War veterans. One that stands out was an Army infantryman who was in constant combat with North Korean and Chinese Army soldiers during most of his tour in the war zone. He was a unit machine gunner, carrying a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). As a result of his intensive contact with enemy, where on many occasions he and his unit would kill hundreds of Chinese soldiers who came at them in waves, but many without guns or weapons, he was constantly possessed by memories and images of combat situations. He also talked about getting frostbite in his feet that disabled him from being able to walk at the tail end of his tour, and having to be transported on the top of a tank to his home base. Following his combat experience in Korea, he returned to his army base in the US and became a drill sergeant, providing basic training to new recruits who were being prepared for the war zone. Because of his own experience and exposure in the war zone and the changes in his attitudes and views of life, he became very intense and harsh in his training of the new recruits and eventually was given the nickname of “Sarge”, which stuck with him for the rest of his life. His family jokingly described him as a tough disciplinarian who never left his army training and thinking. He had a tough and intimidating demeanor by which he interacted with virtually everyone. I met Sarge when he was in his 60’s and on a disability status. He spent most of his time at home sitting at the kitchen coffee table and constantly ruminating about his war. His house was filled with war memorabilia and virtually every published war film. He would spend most of our sessions talking about various atrocities and incidents in which people were killed and maimed or tortured which he personally witnessed. He also talked about a significant number of kills that he made, particularly when Chinese attempted to overrun his unit’s outposts. He consistently complained about seeing a dark figure dart across his living room while sitting at the kitchen table and he was convinced that this was one of the Korean enemy soldiers. He knew better, but he constantly had this hallucination or vision which was accompanied by the very unsettling feeling that it was an enemy soldier. He attempted to deal with his PTSD and altered views of the world and life by keeping himself immersed in his military thinking and actions and war movie and books. Nonetheless, his intrusive memories, perceptual distortions, and nightmares constantly affected him until he died. He did not seek mental health help from the VA because of his disillusioned reactions to our government and governmental systems. Another Korean veteran who stands out is a Marine Sargent who fought at the Chosen Reservoir. He was a very hardened individual who showed no emotions and was very serious in his interactive style. He spoke of constant direct contact with enemy on hill and mountain trails in their war zone and a number of hand-to-hand combat battles in which he engaged with enemy soldiers. He described the ongoing significant amount of killing on both sides as something that numbed him to the point that he was no longer affected by killing others or seeing death. He, like most of his fellow soldiers, returned home and blended in as a forgotten soldier, not seeking help from anywhere, including the VA system. Although his war experiences clearly changed him and his view of life and the world, and he was completely emotionless, he developed a style of survival that allowed him to have and keep a job and to have a family, but with a lot of interpersonal stress. By the time I met him, he decided that he could endure the lifestyle he developed and he did not want to open up any of the memories and pains of his war through therapy. There were many other WWII and Korean veterans who I had the honor of meeting and giving some psychological assistance. Most were humble, responsible and caring persons who spent lifetimes of daily stresses working and providing for their families, as most Americans do, but, they also carried the added burdens of their war memories and scars until their final days. Despite the failures of our government and society to give them ongoing recognition for their sacrifices in their wars and for their war related adjustment problems, they all remained very patriotic and contributing citizens. This was true of the Korean veterans in spite of our country’s almost complete neglect of them.

The Cantonese have a saying that “a meal is not complete without having chicken”. The chicken symbolises not only prosperity, but also good fortune (“ho fook hei” in Cantonese), and is a must-have especially during festive occasions and celebrations. “Soy Sauce Chicken” was said to have been created over a hundred years ago in Guangdong Province, when a master chef from out of town sought to spice up the way the Cantonese traditionally poached chicken at a famous local restaurant, substituting bland water with a fragrant soy sauce based braising liquid, resulting in a flavourful dish that has become synonymous with Cantonese cuisine. Ho Fook Hei’s Specialty Rose Wine Soy Sauce Chicken is prepared the traditional Cantonese way, using a time-honoured recipe passed down through the years. Poached in an aromatic braising liquid of superior soy sauce and a secret blend of Chinese herbs and spices resulting in a chicken that is flavourful to the bone with a hint of our signature rose wine fragrance.

My parents recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. CONGRATULATIONS! Fifty years. An anniversary like this is remarkable for a few reasons: to stay together that long, to both be alive and well, and to still like each other after all these years. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane first. My mom and dad met at a college dance. When my dad proposed, he was working at a ski area, and she was skiing that day. My dad taught me to ski when I was a girl, and he taught me to love the mountains. My mom taught me to love the ocean. Marriage is a funny thing. In our culture we make a big deal about the wedding and plan expensive parties and receptions. But the real work begins AFTER the ceremony. Anytime my father-in-law talks about attending a "Wedding Deception," I have to laugh and cringe at his dry wit. I learned many great life lessons from my parents through the years. My mom taught me to serve, saying, "You love the people you serve." Share Get link Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Other Apps 1 comment Read more One More Syllable August 08, 2019 It's been a year. One year ago we moved to Texas. One year ago I started asking people to call me Kristina instead of Kristy, thus adding one more syllable to my name. August is our anniversary. Last year we celebrated that anniversary by adding a cool new memory. That day we drove up to our house, found the keys and walked inside with the kids. We spent the night in our house without any stuff. Isn't it funny how places seem bigger when they're unfurnished? And that pool in the backyard? We knew nothing about pools and maintenance but just jumped in carefree. It was great. It was like being in a hotel but with room for everybody to spread out. Maybe it's time to explain the name change. For me, I had decided before moving to Texas that I wanted to quit using Kristy as my nickname.

Historically, Wichita Falls, Texas is known for being a hub for grain, cattle, and oil industrialization. With that, abandoned structures are plentiful. We took to the streets of Wichita Falls to find out which ones strike the community's curiosity the most. The first in our 'Abandoned Texoma' video series is the Attebury Grain elevator and old mill; a tall, statuesque structure, sitting next to a completely abandoned building and railroads with loads of history. Whether you are entering Wichita Falls from the east or exiting from the west, the Attebury Grain elevator dominates the skyline. A building that looks more like a Call of Duty map than an operating business. At first glance, you might not know it, but the silos are operational with trucks entering and exiting with grain distribution. An eerie property plastered with ‘No Trespassing’ signs, the old mill sits forgotten next door. Once a profitable milling plant operated by General Mills, the now abandoned building is riddled with broken, empty windows, and dark hallways. Rotting railroad tracks run directly between the two structures, and a chain link barbed wire fence marks the perimeters. It’s hard not to fall into the belief that the area might be haunted, after all, aesthetically it fits the bill. However, don’t get any Ghostbusters ideas. With the amount of No Trespassing signs posted, the owners mean business. That is unless you want to become one of the rumored ghost stories.

Whether you are constructing a new building or it’s just time to replace your old system, One Call Service is here to answer your questions and help you choose the best possible heating and cooling system for your business. HVAC systems for offices can include traditional air conditioning, furnace or heat pump, air duct system, and control systems as well as more custom pieces like humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and special filtration systems. Different businesses will have different HVAC needs. For instance, a small business with 5 employees may only need a basic air conditioning unit and heater, while an industrial warehouse may require a special filtration system to keep the air quality high and employees safe. No matter what you’re looking for in an HVAC system, One Call Service will install it properly and ensure that it runs efficiently for as long as possible. Proper installation is essential to your HVAC system’s efficiency, efficacy, and overall lifespan. Your HVAC system is made up of several large pieces of equipment and a complex system of ducts and electric work–all of which have to be taken into consideration during installation, along with the manufacturer brand, size of the space and equipment, and your budget. How Much Does It Cost to Install HVAC? The cost of installing a new HVAC system can vary widely depending on the circumstances. Brand, grade, size, complexity, ductwork, and customization can all affect the total cost of your HVAC installation. The more specialty equipment you need to meet regulations and OSHA compliance, the more expensive the project will be. But the costs will be more than made up for in comfort, employee satisfaction, and reduced liability. HVAC Systems for Businesses One Call Service works with every major brand and HVAC manufacturer available, including: American Standard Trane Lennox Goodman Aire-Flo Payne York Rheem Amana Carrier Heil Ultra Aire Fujitsu ICP Our HVAC technicians are all trained and certified to work with an array of equipment and HVAC systems. They are also trained to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your HVAC system. After performing a thorough analysis of your business, the available space, and your budget, your One Call Specialist tech will provide you with all the available options and make recommendations based on your specific circumstances. Grade Most HVAC brands make different lines of each version of their equipment called “grades.” These grades are, essentially, the “basic”, “average”, “better”, and “best” versions of each piece of equipment. Just like when you’re buying a car, premium features and customizations–leather seats, moon roof, 4-wheel drive–all add to the price. For HVAC systems, customizations make certain functions easier and more efficient, and different grades may vary in size, weight, capacity, and performance. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the unit, the higher the performance of your system. We usually recommend that our commercial customers go with the highest grade they can afford to lower their costs in the long run. The average ranges look something like this: Furnaces 40,000 BTU to 140,000 BTU Split system air conditioners & heat pumps 18,000 BTU (1.5 tons) to 180,000 BTU (15 tons) Mini split air conditioners & heat pumps 12,000 BTU to 42,000 BTU BTU stands for “British Thermal Unit” and is a measurement of energy. The higher the BTU, the higher the capacity. As you can see, there is a very wide range of capacity for any and all situations. If you have a very small building or office and very few employees, you’ll likely be able to use a unit with a lower capacity. Higher capacity units work harder and more efficiently, making them perfect for large spaces and businesses concerned about energy efficiency. Lower capacity units are cheaper, but if you choose one too small for your building, it will struggle to keep up and break down more rapidly, costing you more money in repairs and, eventually, replacement. Job Complexity Job complexity plays an enormous role in the overall cost of your commercial HVAC installation. The more difficult the job, the longer it takes to finish. For example, installing a new AC unit in a ground-level outbuilding will cost significantly less than installing the same unit in a tiny crawlspace. Similarly, the larger your HVAC system as a whole, the more it will cost to install it. For instance, having one unit installed will obviously cost less than replacing your entire system. How Long Does Commercial HVAC Installation Take? The exact length of time your HVAC installation takes will depend on how big the job is. Installing one piece of equipment in a ready-made space may take only a few hours. Installing a full system, including ductwork, could take a day or two depending on the size of your building and how many customizations you’ve added to the system. No matter the complexity of the job, One Call Service is dedicated to getting you back to a comfortable temperature–and back to work!–as soon as possible. We always strive for a 24-hour turnaround when possible. If it’s not possible, we’ll work with your schedule to ensure that the project is completed ASAP.

Megestrol acetate (Ovaban) currently is the only contraceptive drug approved for use in dogs in the United States. Ovaban is a long-acting progesterone. It inhibits the estrous cycle by suppressing the pituitary output of FSH (see Hormonal Effects During Estrous). The drug is safe and effective when used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. A veterinary exami- nation is advised to rule out diabetes, pyometra, pregnancy, and mammary gland tumors before starting the drug. If any of these are present, Ovaban should not be used. The first heat cycle in puppy bitches frequently is unreli- able. To ensure proper drug performance, do not use Ovaban until the second heat. To bring a bitch out of heat, start the pill at the first signs of proestrus. It must be started within the first three days of the heat cycle to prevent estrus and possible pregnancy. Ovaban is given for eight days. The next heat cycle will occur in two to nine months. It is essential to adhere to a strict schedule with any contraceptive drug. Always confine your bitch during the first eight days of heat, since you might have missed the first signs of proestrus and started the drug too late. If an unplanned mating does take place and the bitch has not been on Ovaban for three full days, stop the pill and consult your veterinarian (see Unwanted Pregnancy). If mating occurs after the bitch has been on the pill for more than three days, complete the course. She will not become pregnant. To postpone heat for a hunting trip, pleasure trip, or dog show, start the pill at least one week before leaving and continue it for 32 days. Ovaban must be started at least one week before proestrus to postpone a heat. Bitches taking Ovaban may become hungry or lazy, gain weight, experience personality changes, or show mammary gland enlargement. These changes disappear when the drug is stopped. Because of the risk of pyometra associated with the prolonged use of progesterone, Ovaban should not be used to postpone heat or to take a bitch out of heat for more than two consecutive heat cycles.

When you approach a general contractor in the Bay Area, such as SilliconX Construction, you’ll find that there are quite a few different types of structures that can be built. Knowing a little more about these buildings, their codes and materials can help you convey your needs! * Type I, I-A or I-B: These buildings have concrete frames built of noncombustible materials. Each of the building elements has a varying level of fire resistance. * Type II, II-A or II-B: This type of building is also constructed of noncombustible materials. Bearing walls include steel studs; the floors and roofs have steel bar joists. Fire-rated building elements are used for IIA buildings. The most common of these two construction types used by a general contractor is the IIB, because the elements must be non-combustible, but don’t necessarily need to be fire-resistant. * Type III, III-A or III-B: This type of construction involves the use of noncombustible exterior walls and interior elements constructed of any material allowed by code. This could be either combustible or non-combustible. This type of building typically has masonry on bearing walls and wood for the floors or roofs. Discuss the details with us! * Type IV, IV-A or IV-B: This heavy timber construction is most common in older buildings, and not commonly employed now. * Type V, V-A or V-B: This final construction type involves the use of wood frames. Many contractors use fire-rated assemblies for each building element in V-A construction. V-B building types do not require fire-rated elements. Given this information on building materials and different types of structures, are you ready to build?

The Department of Personnel is responsible for pairing up agents and placing recruits in the proper departments and divisions. If an agent cannot overcome the compulsion to drool over pictures of Achilles, it would be a hazard to send him or her into Greek Mythology. If an agent's partner has tried multiple times to set him or her on fire, the department will... eventually... maybe... partner those agents with someone else. Personnel also deals with agent training and maintaining the PPC's archives, and some Personnel agents act in secretarial roles for various Department Heads. Its head Flower is the Marquis de Sod, and the secretary in charge of personnel is Agent Quen.

So I found this Thought Catalogue article by Ryan O’Connell called “What it feels like to get fucked in the ass” and in the first line of it he says “Getting your ass penetrated should be a prerequisite for life because it’s an experience that teaches humility and encourages teamwork.” It’s so right! I mean, if you want to have great sex you need to acknowledge the fact that you’re letting someone put their penis in your ass and slide it in and out for a wee while. It can be a very humbling experience - and if you want to have a good time then you need to have some solid negotiation going on between you and your partner. Anal sex is a significant event, and if someone is going to be penetrating me, they need to be trustworthy. For me, there is nothing worse than a top who tries to fuck me blindly at top speed, as deep as he can go, without paying any attention to the entire person attached to the butthole his dick is in. You need to keep a few things in mind. First up, make sure you are getting the stimulation you like. If I’m the bottom then it’s my ass, my rules. I make sure I know what I can handle and what I can’t. Especially when you’re new to taking dick, having the whole thing repetitively shoved deep inside can hurt. A lot! It’s not adding to anyone’s physical pleasure when they do that, and they're either being really inconsiderate, or are just not very good at being a top. So feel free to kindly call them out on it and teach them what feels good for you. The next thing to keep in mind is how your partner is doing. Negotiating sex isn’t like a police interrogation - I mean it could be an outright conversation (which I encourage you to try if you haven’t), but more often than not it will be implied over dirty Grindr messages, or one of you saying how much you want to sit on the other’s cock. Just make sure you pay attention to your partner as things progress and if you think they might be uncomfortable, ask! Read more about "Ass" The third thing to remember is that negotiating sex doesn’t happen before you start fucking and then stop, it continues right through sex until after you’ve finished. I need to know that I can back out of the deal at any time. If a top is being an inconsiderate, then I will tell them and I will leave if they don't listen to me. No top is worth rearranging your intestines for. In just the same way though, if things are going really well and we find a fantastic position that feels great, I need to make sure I let them know that it feels awesome and that if it works for them, I would like to stay there. It takes balls and it takes practice to be good at negotiating sex. Be friendly, have fun, and be brave. It’s about teamwork, remember, and if your team mate can’t handle the jandal, then they're not worth sitting on. To find out more about having the sex you deserve have a dig around the site and be sure to check out our R18 video guide to anal sex.

A cough that produces white, foamy phlegm is a possible symptom of heart failure, states Harvard Medical School. Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood for the body to function properly, explains the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Heart failure often shows up when people have a history of heart disease, according to Harvard Medical School. These patients typically cough more when lying down; many of them sleep propped up by pillows. At times, heart failure causes a dry cough. However, pinkish foamy sputum is also a symptom of heart failure, notes Mayo Clinic. Other symptoms that suggest heart failure include swelling in the abdomen, legs, ankles or feet, explains Mayo Clinic. People feel generally weak and fatigued. They are no longer able to maintain their previous levels of exercise. Exertion brings on shortness of breath, which also appears when lying down. There is sometimes a sudden weight gain, but it is the result of fluid retention. In fact, many people with heart failure lose their appetite and feel nauseated. The pulse is accelerated or irregular. They also have trouble concentrating and are less attentive. In addition, there are more frequent trips to the bathroom during the night.

My Creative Corner!: Celebrating You, Hues of Happiness, Happiness Abounds, Anniversary Card, Stampin' Up! Friday, June 24, 2022 Celebrating You, Hues of Happiness, Happiness Abounds, Anniversary Card, Stampin' Up! I saw this card on the internet today and thought I would give it a try. What caught my eye was the color and the use of those flowers. I found that sheet of Designer Series Paper a bit too busy but here it worked! You can see the original card here. The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I just couldn't see using a half-sheet of Melon Mambo for the base, it would have gotten lost. The Basic White made the Melon Mambo and DSP pop! The Melon Mambo piece measures 4" x 5-1/4" and was textured using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. That is such a fun folder to play with. It's especially great with masculine cards. No flowers involved at all there!!! I cut 6" of some white crinkled seam binding ribbon that is probably retired and I taped it to the back of the Melon Mambo piece. I marked my Melon Mambo piece up from the bottom 1-1/2" on the back for reference. That way I knew I would be getting my ribbon on straight. I did use a glue dot on the ends of the ribbon to hold it down and after I got both ends on I used scotch tape to tape them in place. Then I glued the Melon Mambo piece on top of the card base. I use glue on my textured pieces because I don't feel that the tape makes enough surface contact to hold it in place. With glue, I know it's not going anywhere. I also made sure I got some glue over any ribbon showing. The DSP is from the "Hues of Happiness" 12" x 12" package. I cut a 2" strip from the busy flower sheet. I glued that piece in place about 1/4" from the left edge. The words are from the "Celebrating You" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. I used the die from the "Happiness Abounds" bundle to cut that fun edge. I couldn't wrap it around my head which way to turn it and I cut it wrong three times!!! Glad I wasn't making a bunch for a swap!!! My words may have been as colorful as the flowers!!! LOL So I decided to die cut the piece first and then stamp it. No colorful words needed!! LOL The word piece measures 1-1/4" x 2-3/4". But you can make it whatever size you need for the words you use. I set the word piece in place using Dimensionals. I took that same ribbon and cut two 7" pieces and tied a bow. Before I pulled the bow type, I slipped in a 4" piece of silver cord and a tiny glue dot to hold the cord in place. I used glue to hold the ribbon in place on the front of the card. The orientation of my bow is different than on the original card. I did that because I wanted it to fit in the envelope without being crunched or pinched. I had some enamel embellishments that matched close enough so I added them to the card and the card was done. This was a fun card to make and I was thrilled that I was able to use that busy DSP!! I think it would be a great birthday, get well, thinking of you, birthday, Mother's Day, friendship, or Wedding card. Very versatile!!

I have worked as a Heating as well as A/C professional for many years now, as well as I have seen a ton of different things. For the most part I met a lot of wonderful people that would badly need their Heating as well as A/C equipment looked over, as well as I would happily oblige. I’ve also met that occasional rude or sometimes a silent person, but that doesn’t bother me much. I met plenty of demanding helicopter clients, who seem to believe that they think better than me, and this can get on our nerves, but I still remember this a single incident that I won’t forget. It was an official afternoon at our Heating as well as A/C corporation as well as I was sent out because a person’s furnace wasn’t laboring. I drove to this person’s locale, walked in as well as was met by a very rude woman I didn’t believe much of it, as well as I just got to work on this guy’s heating unit. Suddenly, I heard shouting coming from the residing room of the house, as well as then high pitched wailing. I got up as well as looked in there, as well as this girl was beating her wifey! I just walked out as well as drove straight to the police station. Looking back, I genuinely wish I just went as well as beat them up myself, but then I could be arrested, as well as I am not taking that chance. I didn’t hear that much as to what happened to him, but about a month later, I see her face on the cable as well as he’s been on the news, being arrested for assaulting a cop as well as domestic abuse. I was incredibly stoked that she was arrested, I only hope her wifey got the help she needed. This was the most interesting thing that happened while I was laboring at our Heating as well as A/C task, as well as I can still remember it adore it was Last month.
