All tuberculosis vaccines currently in clinical trials are designed as prophylactic vaccines based on early expressed antigens. We have developed a multistage vaccination strategy in which the early antigens Ag85B and 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) are combined with the latency-associated protein Rv2660c (H56 vaccine). In CB6F1 mice we show that Rv2660c is stably expressed in late stages of infection despite an overall reduced transcription. The H56 vaccine promotes a T cell response against all protein components that is characterized by a high proportion of polyfunctional CD4+ T cells. In three different pre exposure mouse models, H56 confers protective immunity characterized by a more efficient containment of late-stage infection than the Ag85B-ESAT6 vaccine (H1) and BCG. In two mouse models of latent tuberculosis, we show that H56 vaccination after exposure is able to control reactivation and significantly lower the bacterial load compared to adjuvant control mice. © 2011 Nature America, Inc.

Productions like Downton Abbey and The Help illustrate the pivotal—and complicated—role that full-time servants played for elite families of the past. For many years, limitations in job opportunities for women led a shockingly high number of those in the workforce to work as domestic servants: In 1900 in Great Britain, about one third of working women were maids, and in 1940 under segregation in the American south, about 60% of southern black women who worked were in this profession. Not surprisingly, the lack of job choices also led to poor treatment and low pay by their employers; for the many servants who actually lived in the houses they tended to, room and board alone constituted the primary compensation. It wasn't pretty. But the picture now is very different, and somewhat better for workers. Here are three key factors in the evolution: In 1935, 60% of non-impoverished southern white families in cities had a full-time domestic servant, compared with close to 20% of those in the north. Now? The number of Americans who hire cleaners is way down: Only 12% regularly used cleaners in 2008. And virtually everyone who hires help, only does so for a few hours every week or month. Along with reduced usage, gone too—indeed there are some things to be thankful for—is the tendency to treat maids as beings somewhere between quasi-family members and wayward pets. In fact many employers aren’t even around when the cleaners of today do their spic n’ span routine—in part due to women’s increasing participation throughout the workforce. Effect of Technology You might assume reduced demand for cleaners leads to worse outcomes for these workers—but it doesn’t appear so. Besides avoiding the old-fashioned scheme of employment by just one family, cleaners today actually earn far more than in the past (though they remain close to the bottom of incomes) principally due to . . . technology! Yes, domestic companies’ laser-like focus on time-saving cooking and cleaning devices may have started as a bid to garner money from the throngs of mid-century housewives suddenly at home after World War II, but the phenomenon had the additional effect of making the cleaning process generally faster. And while it took longer for Great Britain to give up the deeply ingrained practice of full-time servants in place of technological advances, Americans seemed to have little problem snapping up the latest gadget for washing clothes or heating food. So as full-time help fell out of favor, cleaners could be more productive—able to make fast cash before moving on to other houses or businesses in a given day; as women are no longer confined to domestic jobs, this also means those who do work in that sector are often in high demand. Whereas most maids in the past were predominantly either white or black, today approximately 44% of cleaners are Hispanic, and about 27% of all maids are estimated to be illegal immigrants. Similar to limitations face by black women in the past, lack of English fluency can limit prospects for other jobs among Hispanic women. But as American-born generations develop fluency, they, like immigrant forebears of generations past, have greater mobility in the workforce. Sadly, while cleaning is a job that undeniably makes the world go round—given our self-flagellating American work ethic and general tendency toward entropy—it remains poorly compensated. Current trends do put cleaners in a position of greater autonomy and higher earnings in the past, so here's hoping this trajectory continues.

Major U.S. financial services company Capital One has filed a new patent application for a cryptocurrency analysis and trading system that will attempt to predict crypto market trends and generate trading decisions using artificial intelligence (AI). Capital One’s Cryptocurrency AI System The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) published a patent application on Aug. 13 for a cryptocurrency system filed by financial services company Capital One Services. It is a continuation of Capital One’s system patented in June. Capital One Services is affiliated with Capital One Bank, a subsidiary of Capital One Financial Corp. The corporation had $304.2 billion in deposits and $421.3 billion in total assets as of June 30. A Fortune 500 company, Capital One trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol COF. Then follow us on Google News! Capital One explained that cryptocurrencies trade 24/7 so traders need to monitor information from many sources all day. Numerous factors could affect trade decisions, including regulatory and exchange news, stock market news, rumors, and opinions on social media such as on Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, and Telegram. There are also events that could affect the market, such as initial coin offerings (ICOs), forks, airdrops, hacks, rebranding, and company future plans. Capital One asserted that “it would be impossible for human traders to track all of the above-mentioned cryptocurrency-related data and respond to that data in real time.” It would also be impossible to verify the credibility of the information in real time, the company added, noting: Accordingly, there is a need for a centralized platform that analyzes speculation, news, and other cryptocurrency-related information as well as provides a recommendation and/or implements the provided recommendation. The patent application describes a system with “a credibility analysis engine configured to determine the credibility of the cryptocurrency-related information,” with weighting assigned. It also describes an AI engine “configured to predict a cryptocurrency market trend based on … all received information and corresponding weighting.” In addition, it can be configured to generate and execute personalized trades automatically based on predicted crypto market trends. The eight modules shown in the illustration — cryptocurrencies market, social media, event, cryptocurrencies company, user, regulation, fiat currency, and traditional data modules — may receive different types of crypto-related information, the filing notes. Cryptocurrency-related information includes “speculation, rumors, opinions, and other information posted on social media,” the patent application details. For example, the information may be “an influencer’s opinions, recommendations, predictions, etc.” The system may evaluate the information and give corresponding weightings based on the popularity of the social medial post as well as the poster using data such as “views, likes, dislikes, comments, shares, retweets, and reposts.” After analyzing, the system will “generate market predictions based on initial hypotheses and weights,” and can execute personalized trading decisions. The full patent which details the entire system can be found here. What do you think Capital One will do with this crypto prediction and trading system? Let us know in the comments section below.

People comment on how much energy I have. It surprises them that I can do as much as I do. I think part of it is that I keep going after I run out of energy - I can get by on willpower and fumes, and the willpower carries me on much longer than most people do. Good or bad, who knows. At any rate, this weekend was a classic example of me doing ten times more than any normal human being. It started Thursday night, when I left work to go to ... Germany! My flight left late and by the time the slow PM train connections kicked in, it was 1:30AM when I finally got to my hotel at Bochum. The nice thing was that I made good progress reading a great new (to me) mystery series, "The Coroner's Lunch" by Colin Cotterill, during all of that flying time. But worn out I was. The next morning (a mere 8 hours of sleep later), it was a German breakfast, a visit to the tea store, and then off to Dortmund, where we were going because, apparently, it was close. The churches and architecture weren't great (I think it was heavily bombed), but the "Dortmund U" museum had a pretty good collection, although the Fluxus art was exactly the kind of pretentious wank exedore hates. However; chocolate covered garden gnome! After a lunch on the go, we went to the train station again, not to go back, but to go to Unna for the Light Museum. It's an old brewery with a bunch of custom installations in it (and some not so custom): my favorites were the James Turrell piece (the usual "room with white panel in back and changing array of colors) and the thing with the strobe-lit raindrops falling down in a curtain on both sides of a walkway. A lot of it was uninspired neon but ... overall it was a great museum. Then we headed back to Bochum, had a short turnaround for dinner, and went out for the main event: Starlight Express at a custom-built theater. Yes, it was in German, yes, it was fun, like the Transformers meets Xanadu. But at the end of the night I was cream crackered, willing to pay for a taxi to save us the walk to the hotel (I didn't have 20 more minutes in my feet), and in bed ten minutes after we arrived. The next morning exedore left early. I had more time but couldn't sleep much longer; it was sad as I didn't wind up getting to London until 4 PM but was really worn out for no good reason. And yet I went out, to see the musical Ordinary Days at Trafalgar Studios. I'd said I'd go dancing with lovelybug afterwards, but walking out of Charing Cross station I realized I probably would have benefited from skipping the play and went back home immediately after the show. Sunday was chill out day at last. I was wanting to see people though, and got lucky as babysimon was up for lunch and came with a bonus trishpiglet, who gave me homemade cupcakes <3 . Then the three of us went shopping; bliss for me as I've been a solo shopper regularly for nearly a year now. I also had a wechslercat for dinner and Attenborough watching, so it was a good evening. Last night meanwhile was the new Frankenstein production at the National Theater. They had two actors who were flat as pancakes, but a much bigger problem was the script. I'll do a full writeup today (I think), but I'm starting to agree with people who say it has no interval because they don't want to lose the audience. I suspect most of the people coming just want to see the TV star live, and, well, he does roll around naked for about the first ten minutes - but as the role is dual cast, I got the other guy. Ah well, at least I got to see a naked guy on Valentine's Day, so it wasn't a completely wasted evening and the company was good.

One day, as I was minding my own business, tarot found me… “From the crucible of bitter experience, our soul becomes tempered like gold.’’ It is said that we do not find Tarot, Tarot finds us... and in my case, this is definitely true. I was a cosmic young woman. My head in the clouds, interested in all things spiritual. My dabbling took me to Buddhism, Spiritualism, Aliens, Herbalism, Wicca, numerology, Goddesses and everything in between. You name it, I was into it. I had an old head on young shoulders and, with hindsight, I can see that I was in constant contact with other realms of thinking. Some would call it the higher self or Spirit or even Spirit consciousness. Whatever it was (and still is) it inspired me, taught me many things and shaped who I am today. It was very much the Ace of Swords. The connection to all that is was an opportunity to step back from the drudgery of getting by as a lonely single parent and adopt new perspectives through a fresh lens. My daughter was born prematurely and had several physical challenges. The relationship between me and her Hare Krishna devotee father had broken down, largely due to economic stress and each of us fighting off our respective demons. Sometimes I wonder if the demons won. Life was hard Money was always a challenge and I had very few friends. I was new to the area I was living in and having a small and needy baby was not conducive to getting out there and socialising. I was 23. Again, with hindsight I can see that this was all part of the training for what I do now. I was on the frontline and I was becoming a first class survivor. It is my opinion that Tarot readers are very special. They are the people who have accepted the contract of a testing physical life and then turned these lessons of being in the physical world into a resource, and indeed a documentation, of humanity at large. I remember no carpets on the floor, very little furniture, a mattress and a carrycot. I considered myself lucky to have a TV, although it was a black and white portable which had split down the middle and was held together by duct tape. Such luxury! Being a bit cosmic and having a spiritual language was enormously helpful. I have wondered if there was an element of escapism involved, but I also realise that spiritual language allows us breathing space, bringing a sense of calm and hope to seemingly insurmountable problems. Life teaches us through experience the necessity of developing spiritual qualities such as courage, hope, faith and determination. Our will is honed through these experiences and nothing is ever wasted. It was a sunny day, too nice to stay in. I strapped my daughter into her buggy and we set off for the park. Rambling around the duck pond I bumped into a tall, blonde stranger. My Knight of Wands. He was an adventurous type, broad minded, open and clever. A risk taker, which made him ever so exciting, and he made me laugh. We became a couple. Life was fun and exhilarating. We were like kids and my daughter thrived in this hectic, zany and uplifting environment. I was happy. It is funny how life pans out. We went on to have two daughters of our own, needless to say I am incredibly proud of my girls and we are still very close. My girls were not the only thing I received from him. One day, he gave me something very special, something that was going to wire itself to every aspect of my life. He thrust a box into my hand. He announced that he didn’t understand them, he didn’t want them and I would probably love them. In the box was a deck of Spanish Tarot cards (based on the Marseille Tarot design). It was indeed love at first sight. I instantly knew that these cards were going to be a huge part of my life and I set about the task of trying to understand them. I still have the copy of The Tarot by Alfred Douglas. It sits on my shelf, dog eared and battered. Learning the pips without artistic imagery has stood me in good stead and Mr Douglas’ wise observations have laid the foundations for what is now my life purpose. It is difficult to explain how I knew Tarot was going to be such a major aspect of my incarnation, but I trusted my intuition and have never looked back. The relationship between my partner and I began to deteriorate. Life’s challenges were once more stacking up and he turned to drink to help him through. Eventually we came to a very difficult place and long story short, arguments and violence became the norm. I had to get out. The well being of my young daughters was paramount. I had nowhere to go and no money to go with. So it was that I found myself in a Women’s refuge. I unpacked our scant belongings into our one room, making it as cosy as possible. Amongst the essentials were my Tarot cards. Life in the refuge was not a picnic. No-one was at the refuge because they chose to be. At its busiest the house had 8 women and 15 children. Each of us had one shelf in the cupboard and one shelf in the fridge. Woe betide anyone who thought that they had an entitlement to more. There was one washing machine for all of us and some days the rota was forgotten and arguments, sometimes very fierce ones, would break out. Everyone was under so much pressure. Life was a roller coaster ride and emotions were often running high. The stigma of being in the ‘battered wives home’ hung over us like a thick pall of dark fog. It could and did get scary when an assailant would get wind of the address of the refuge. At such times, we women would put our differences to one side and support each other. These occasions were filled with The Star energy; hope, a sense of purpose and fulfilled dreams. When the children were in bed we would sit around the big old kitchen table and put our world to right. Early readings and my developing Tarot insights. When a disagreement erupted in the house, I would get out my Tarot cards with the book balanced on my knee and offer sagacious words. Developing Tarot insights with my psychic faculty turned up high, I would do my best to mediate and repair flagging friendships. My Kitchen Table Tarot sessions were remarkable in so far as they lifted the intense emotions, a constant backdrop in the house. The women loved having their cards read and it provided new and exciting topics for conversation. I was always thrilled when someone would uncover a new area of interest or have a personal epiphany moment. Best of all when one of us might get a message that their predicament would soon be coming to an end, tears of joy would flow and one could look forward to a new chapter of stability and peace. I reflect on those early readings and those women with great affection. It was raw but honest. Real life. I feel very privileged to have met those girls. In many ways they were my first spiritual teachers. Life has taught me much, and to that end, so has Tarot. It has been my path to observe Tarot from a psycho-spiritual perspective. I am interested in the journey of the spirit in human form. By working with our own life material with Tarot we can truly become our own masters. By allowing experiences to flow throughout our understanding of Tarot we can truly relate to the cards not just as archetypes but as living dynamics. Allow life to show you the way, our spirit is not ethnic to us but an important part of our whole being. A question to ask yourself could be, in what way do I demonstrate my wholeness today?

Updated: Nov 23, 2019 When you or your child receives a rare disease diagnosis, your entire world changes. Life as you know it is dismantled and your carefully-crafted dreams appear derailed. You encounter tumultuous emotions that turn your world upside down. For patients, their relationship with their bodies radically change. In fact, a dissociation takes place. The body they once accepted as their own, as a servant that should obey, function, give pleasure, is now a body that has betrayed them and dictates an unsavory set of terms. For caregivers, you are no longer in control and are now face to face with the promise of your loved one’s biological dysfunction and physical deterioration. Initially you recognize everything you have lost and are going to lose. Fear floods in. Fear of the unknown …and the known. Every doctor’s visit, every test result is a blatant reminder of each step closer to a doubtful future. But then you wake up. You finally open your eyes and see how beautiful life is; how much you want to live — how much you want your loved ones to live to share life’s beautiful moments with. You realize the need to stop wasting precious time mourning the inevitable and to become present with every smile…every joke…every moment…every breath. At some point, the love becomes greater than the loss and courage is found. What is courage – as defined by the rare disease community? Courage is sitting in a doctor’s office and listening quietly to words that proclaim the end: ‘not compatible with life’, ‘the condition is progressive and will be debilitating’, ‘there’s no treatment’, ‘the condition is terminal’. Courage is understanding that while your journey has more than its share of earth-shattering moments, your strength is pivotal in inspiring your loved ones to not lose hope. Courage is finding the strength to keep moving forward, even when a part of you wants to run away. In the rare disease community, most start off thinking that they are on a customary golden ticket to college, marriage, kids, and an expressway to standardized dreams. Instead, they find themselves navigating a dark, winding road complete with uncertainty and desperation – also known as the rare disease odyssey. Courage is facing that rare disease odyssey with love, hope, determination, and perseverance. It is important to note that no one is alone in the rare disease community. In fact, rare disease people belong to a vibrant, tight knit, community of rare people across thousands of smaller disease-specific communities who have discovered the true meaning of courage. And from that abundance of courage births collaborative projects and unified efforts with various stakeholders across the biopharma industry to find treatments and potential cures. Ultimately, when it all comes down to it, we are all products of the choices we make in life. When handed a rare disease odyssey, you can either choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of your rare journey, or you can choose the path of courage – to rise above the pain and treasure the most precious gift you have – life itself. Within the rare disease community, there are several courageous individuals that have chosen the later and our team at Blaze Therapeutics is determined to help support the choice to be courageous.

As Scotland’s schools prepare to ring the end of term bell for the holidays, Child Protection Committees Scotland is urging everyone to be extra observant to help protect potentially vulnerable children while school’s out for summer. Child Protection Committees Scotland, a nation-wide grouping of child protection professionals hopes that members of the public will keep their eyes open and play an important role in keeping all children safe from harm during the long break in the school routine. CPCScotland Chair Alan Small says that unfortunately the summer holidays don’t present a fun-filled, relaxing time for everyone. “Most children look forward to having lots of fun and free time during the school holidays but for some families the summer break can bring extra stress and pressure. In some cases, children might not be looked after or supervised properly, and some might even experience serious neglect.” CPCScotland stresses that everyone in every community across the country is responsible for child welfare. By taking a more watchful, active Eyes Open approach, CPCScotland suggests that all members of the public, young and old, can play a part to protect our children. As well as being vigilant, Alan Small stresses that it’s also essential to take action if you’re concerned about a child during the school holidays. “We’re simply asking people to keep their eyes open for telltale signs that all is not well. Signs that a child might be at risk could include being alone and unsupervised, being out and about at all times of day or night or even going into “party” flats. A vulnerable child might be very dirty or persistently hungry, or have parents who are drunk in charge of them. If you’re at all worried, it’s important to take action.” Children's Minister Maree Todd is also backing the campaign. "There are many reasons why concerns about a child are not reported. But young people need someone to speak up for them and we all have a part to play in protecting children and keeping them safe from harm. I urge everyone to take an Eyes Open approach this summer, and if you are at all worried about a child, I would encourage you to take action." If you have seen something and have concerns about a child or children CPCScotland are also clear that it's much better to say something than do nothing. Alan Small says that your intervention could help a child at risk. "You can ask the child if they're okay or even offer the family some support. Or, if the situation is serious and you're very worried contact your local authority social work department, or the police." If you have seen something and have concerns about a child or children, CPCScotland are clear that it’s much better to say something than do nothing. Your intervention could help a child at risk:

Class and Activity Descriptions The Scott Foresman reading series is used and accompanied by text books and written workbooks for reading and spelling. Teachers use a variety of resources from the website available through the reading program. Students learn the vocabulary and word study skills, reading skills, and the story from the large screen or the Promethean/Active boards. Additional skills are taught, such as comprehension, fluency, word study skills, drawing conclusions, etc. An assessment is given each week after the reading, retelling, and re-teaching of the story and skills. At the end of each unit, an assessment is given covering the skills that were taught along with comprehension and vocabulary. Every week, additional reading is incorporated through the use of Leveled Readers. Students are grouped at this time to work on individual books and skills. Every six weeks, the students are divided into ability groups and they participate in a two week Literature Unit. The children may go to another teacher at this time to enhance their learning through Literature. The books used for these groups are: Because of Winn Dixie, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, Chocolate Fever, Laundrey News, Charlotte’s Web, Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Mr. Popper’s Penguin, Granny Torrelli Makes Soup, the Ramona series, and the Wayside School series. Students are also required to read two AR books per week and test on these books. Teachers can review each child’s progress on the Renaissance Place website. Parents will also have an account to check their child’s reading progress through Renaissance Place. The consumable Scott Foresman Spelling book is used as a component of the reading curriculum. Students are instructed each day on word endings, beginnings, blends, and other skills. Each lesson has twenty spelling words. Five of these words are the challenge words. A test is given each Friday which includes spelling and dictation. A review lesson is also given at the end of each unit consisting of twenty-five words. Grammar usage and mechanics are explored in the classroom through the use of interactive resources in iPad centers as well as daily lessons in class. Writing instruction is implemented in the Language program. Students learn several writing styles including a personal narrative, story writing, writing to express an opinion, persuasive writing, and a Friendly Letter. Extra practice and re-teaching lessons are given along with a unit test at the end of each unit. Scott-Foresman writing, grammar, research, and study skills are all connected and taught daily to coincide with each week’s literature selection. The Envision math program is used in third grade. This program challenges the children in the areas of reasoning and problem solving. There are many opportunities through technology to engage the student in learning at home and at school. A variety of hands-on materials are also used in math instruction. Students are divided into math groups for one hour each day. Accelerated Math and Math in a Flash are also incorporated into the math program to allow students to demonstrate individual progress. The Macmillian/McGraw-Hill text is used and includes units of study such as: Chemical Test, Nutrition, Rocks and Minerals, Solar System, and Plant Growth and Development. Students experience many hands-on laboratories as well as field trips to enhance the curriculum. Examples include Ruby Falls, 4-H Walking on the Wild Side, and the Adventure Science Center. Students learn to work in groups, predict, collect data, record results, and think critically throughout the year. They are given tests periodically to assess their mastery of new concepts. The Scott Foresman Social Studies text is used and contains reading skills and strategies to support understanding and improve standardized testing skills. The vocabulary helps students focus and improve comprehension. Reading check questions provide ongoing assessments to monitor each student’s progress. Maps, charts, graphs, photos, the internet, and illustrations help students learn and organize social studies content. Study and geography skills are taught throughout the curriculum. Citizenship is taught to encourage students to make a difference in our democracy using real life models. Unit and chapter reviews and tests are used to monitor student progress and to promote success on standardized testing. Students complete a research project in our Media Center during the unit on Native Americans and Pioneers, along with a poster and a model of a Native American dwelling place. The Bible text used is Growing in God, Positive Action Bible Curriculum. The curriculum includes character studies and scripture memorization. Stories from the lives of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and Daniel provide truths to apply to students’ daily lives. We also use the program, Building Christian Character, Teacher Created Materials, as a tool to focus on traits of love, care, responsibility, self-control and patience. Every day third graders participate in classroom devotion and prayer sessions. Each week students attend an age-appropriate chapel filled with a time of worship through song and the study of God’s word. Third grade classes use Promethean Active Boards and iPads in all areas of the curriculum. Children are able to interact with web sites and flipcharts to enhance learning. The board allows teachers to incorporate many resources into the curriculum. Each classroom also has ActiVotes which are technological devices used to give the teachers immediate feedback on the skills of each student. Formal keyboarding classes begin in 3rd grade. Students learn the basics of keyboarding and begin working through a self-paced program to increase speed and accuracy. The goal is for each student to achieve 15 WPM with 95% accuracy by the end of 4th grade. During technology classes these students continue practicing research skills and learn how to use a presentation program (PowerPoint). Art, Music, Physical Education, Spanish, and Technology/Keyboarding are taught each week for all third graders. - Ripley 4-H Center - Mission Trip for Refugee Families - Ruby Falls

Home Detox Kits: Real or Fake These days everyone is advertising some form of at home drug and alcohol detox kit. The majority of them say that they will detox your body in a few hours or days depending on the type of kit and form of advertising. Unfortunately, these claims are rarely true. Although some drugs can be safely detoxed from at home, others are simply too dangerous. There are however some safe ways to detox your body from certain drugs with or without home detox kits. Call us any time to learn more about your detox and rehab treatment options. Drugs that you should Not Try Home Detox Kits for There are certain drugs that sudden withdrawal is extremely dangerous and should only be done either by tapering off the drug or with hospital and medical supervision. These drugs are: Alcohol withdrawal is extremely dangerous, particularly if you are a heavy drinker. - Most heavy drinkers or binge drinkers who try to quit suddenly are thrown into Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by ever increasing dangerous symptoms such as: heart palpitations, high blood pressure, heart failure, and possible death. - Delirium tremens or DTs, according to the National Library of Medicine, this is a delirious state that is brought on by the absence of alcohol in heavy users. DTs are characterized by: tremors, hallucinations, confusion, disorientation, fear, stupor, mood changes, seizures, and death. - Less than 5% of people withdrawing from alcohol experience delirium tremens. Drugs like Xanax and diazepam cannot be detoxed from without tapering after long term use. Benzo withdrawal consists of several very dangerous symptoms like: - Elevated blood pressure - Possible death due to heart failure or stroke These are not the only two drugs that they sell detox kits for where home detox is not safe. There are others depending on your health at the time of withdrawal. The detox kits that they sell for these drugs are not only fake, they are dangerous. Home Detox Kits for Other Substances They sell home detox kits for drugs like marijuana, opiates, and cocaine as well as alcohol and other drugs. Although these drugs are not dangerous to detox from the kits themselves are often just combinations that flush the body most of them contain: - Goldenseal – a herb that is a diuretic and can help flush the kidneys and bladder - Vinegar – common household red vinegar - Niacin – this helps with the feelings of depression and anxiety but nothing near the medications that are given during an inpatient or outpatient detox - Vitamin C – helps to strengthen the immune system - Activated charcoal – a compound commonly used in hospitals to flush the digestive track Although these will affect the body some, they will not help with withdrawal symptoms or the metabolic and neurological changes the body goes through during withdrawal. According to the Food and Drug Administration, the majority of the home drug or alcohol detox kits have not been evaluated for effectiveness or safety. The majority of these kits also contain herbs that have not been evaluated either.

Beige, Brown, & White Furniture Color Schemes & Decorating Ideas It's easy to understand why decorating a living room with beige, brown and white is such a popular choice. These neutral earth tones look great together in a variety of shades and combinations, making them a smart choice for do-it-yourself designers. While most common in rustic, traditional and nature-inspired homes, brown, beige, and white living room decor can be an exquisite choice in contemporary interiors as well. Eric Church Living Room Set Riveted leather sofa with beige cushions & accents, rustic wood coffee table set. Decorating with beige and brown can create a room that's rustic or sophisticated depending on your materials. In the room above, couches with chocolate brown leather bases and creamy beige cushions create a country look that's rich and luxurious. Abruzzo Living Room Set Classic style recliner set with brass nailhead accents, including iron and wood coffee table in exposed brick setting. For a more contemporary look, mix some crisp, stark white into mostly brown and beige living room. The painted white brick walls in the room above make the whiskey-brown leather couches pop. Aventino Living Room Set Modern style brown leather sofa set, accented with marble-topped coffee and end tables. When working with traditional, subdued colors, the shapes and patterns of your furnishings can take decor in a more modern direction. The defined angular shape of the brown leather couches above combines with the white rug's trendy diamond lattice pattern and the clean lines of the coffee table and lamps, creating a thoroughly contemporary space. Traditional leather sofa set, featuring nailhead accents with a wood-top metal coffee table. Beige and brown decor add life to stark white walls. Including neighboring hues from the color wheel adds richness and interest. As illustrated in the room above, earth tones like terracotta orange or rusty red enhance the brown, beige and white decor. Cindy Crawford Living Room Set Reclining leather sofa with matching loveseat and chair, paired with wooden coffee and end tables. Decorating with brown couches could leave you concerned about using wood furniture with a dark stain. While this does mean putting a lot of the same color in one space, it is possible to maintain balance by choosing your accents wisely. In the room above, deep brown couches and a rich brown table set work in harmony when tempered with a white printed area rug, shiny brass lamp and white walls. Auburn Hills Living Room Set Chocolate brown leather reclining sectional, combined with wood and marble accent tables. While it can give your room a rich and cozy look, a sectional in deep brown leather also presents some design challenges. Because these pieces are so large, when upholstered in dark color they can create the illusion of heaviness. To keep your room feeling bright and open, offset the couch with beige and white decor. As seen in this sample room, light-colored area rugs, end tables and pillows add much needed contrast to a dark sectional and balance the space. Bellingham Living Room Set Modern style brown sofa set, featuring wood coffee and end tables accented with white lamps. Unlike leather, fabric couches in linen, cotton blends or other fabrics don't reflect the light, making it even more important to choose light-colored accents to brighten your space. The brown couches above get a boost from the white rug, lamps and nature-inspired art. Leather reclining sofa with matching loveseat and chair, featuring nailhead accents and a modern wood, glass-top coffee table. designers often worry about combining a range of colors into one space. To anchor your room, use an area rug with a pattern of beige and brown like the one featured above. This ties all of the room's furniture and accents together in one easy step. Transitional style sofa set, with modern accent tables and lamps. Decorating with white and brown can be a great option for transitional spaces. In the inspiration room, the traditional color palette pairs well with leather couches, abstract art and funky pillows to create one cohesive look between classic and contemporary. Doverton Living Room Set Modern sectional with chaise, paired with a glass-top coffee and end table set. If you are drawn to beige and white decor, this combination has a clean, crisp and modern feel that makes small spaces look larger. To enhance this effect, use plenty of reflective surfaces, like the light brown-finished glass table set and mercury glass lamps pictured. Reclining modern sofa set with attached cushions and marble-topped accent tables. Decorating with beige and white makes it easy to incorporate a variety of accent colors. If a beige and white space feels look a little bland add dimension with pops of deep brown. As earth tones, beige and brown produce a warm and inviting vibe when paired with the cheery oranges and yellows above. Madeley Living Room Set Modern beige sofa set featured with glass-topped wooden coffee and end tables. While decorating with beige, brown and white makes it simple to use warm-toned accents, these colors are versatile enough to decorate with cooler hues. As pictured above, using brown and blue pillows on a beige couch creates a calm and soothing mood. Martello Living Room Set Traditional themed brown leather sofa set with matching wood coffee and end tables with glass tops. When choosing your palette, most designers suggest using at least three hues: a primary color, a secondary color and an accent color. The living room pictured is a perfect example of why brown, beige, and white living room decor can work so well together. The primary color, white, is dominant in the room because of the walls. The secondary color, brown, is reserved for large furniture. The designer then chose beige accents like the area rug, pillows, throw and lampshades for added depth and interest. Martino Living Room Set Modern white leather reclining sectional with complementing metal and glass accent tables and lamps. When choosing a sectional for a room with dark walls, floors and accents, a white or beige couch is always a good idea. The featured sectional and wall decor create dynamic contrast with the brown walls and the bold, colorful area rug. Oxford Living Room Set Classic brown sofa and reclining loveseat set matched with glass-top wooden coffee and end tables and a large wall mirror.

The classic brown leather sofa set above fit ideally with the glass-topped wood coffee tables, beige walls and a beige and brown rug. San Angelo Living Room Set Contemporary brown leather reclining sectional with console storage and matching storage ottoman in travel-themed setting. There is no need to be concerned about using too many shades of brown in one space. While it's true that decorators should stick to either cool-toned browns or warm-toned browns, it's fine, and often beneficial, to use a variety of shades. In the living room above, the designer combines warm tones of chocolate brown, golden beige, bronze and oak with rusted black accents and a few white touches for a perfectly harmonious, travel-inspired look. Tacoma Valley Living Room Set Traditional style brown reclining sectional with ornate nailhead trim and matching accent table set with storage. Warm yellow and rusty red accents add a casual note to otherwise formal brown, white and beige living room decor in this room. This neutral color palette can be dressed up or down depending on the accents and styles you choose. Reclining leather sofa set paired with matching lamp and modern wood coffee and end tables. As demonstrated in the living room above, decorating with beige, brown and white can set a casual tone. The atmosphere of comfort and relaxation in this space comes from the weathered, light brown color and cozy design of the couches, as well as the shag rug in shades of brown, white and beige. Traditional leather trimmed sofa set with cloth cushions and nailhead trim, complemented by metal and stone accent tables. A predominantly beige living room decor gains depth and variety from brown and white accents. The pictured two-tone beige and brown seating are accented with white and brown pillows adding life and vibrancy to the space's beige decor. Sardinia Living Room Set Modern brown tufted leather sofa set featuring armchair, ottoman, and glass-top wooden cocktail and matching end tables. Brown, beige and white decor can lend itself well to animal prints, tribal patterns and tropical designs. In the modern living room pictured, animal print accents pair with a dark brown leather couch to create a well-traveled and adventurous atmosphere.

3 Things To Look For In A Real Estate Agent In Denver Whether you’re looking to sell your current home or find your next one, you need the right realtor behind your back. A high-quality real estate agent can make a significant difference in your home buying/selling experience. That doesn’t mean that all real estate agents are the same though! Denver realtors can range widely in terms of quality, experience, training, and more. How can you find the right real estate agent in Denver for your individual needs? We rounded up 3 of the most critical qualities that you need to look for in your real estate agent options. Only the top agents in the Denver area will display these characteristics prominently. An Exceptional Reputation In the real estate industry, reputations carry significant weight. When you are considering a real estate agent in Denver, you absolutely have to consider their reputation. There’s no question about it: A reputation review is definitely worth your time. If a realtor has a particularly negative reputation, then you can practically guarantee that you’ll have a bad experience with them. A positive reputation may indicate that you’ll enjoy every minute of your professional relationship with that realtor. Realtors acquire their reputations for a reason, so it’s important to examine their professional standings in the market. Take the time now to do your research on real estate agents in the Denver area. We’d recommend that you: - Examine their online reviews. Zillow is a terrific real estate resource, as it catalogs tons of online reviews from genuine clients. It’s worthwhile to review an agent’s social media and testimonial pages as well. - Inspect their certifications. The specializations and certifications of a given real estate agent can make a big difference in your real estate experience. For instance, Grant Muller is a Master Certified Negotiation Expert. His negotiation skills could give you the upper hand when closing on your real estate deal. You may also want to consider any referrals or recommendations that you receive from your close friends and family. Just make sure that those realtor recommendations match your expectations. An Emphasis On Clear Communication One of the most common complaints from buyers and sellers will usually concern an agent’s lack of communication. Some sellers may seldom hear updates from their agents. Other buyers may receive far too many email updates with little new information. In the real estate industry, the communication skills of your realtor are of paramount importance. Your real estate agent in Denver needs to keep you informed and be responsive to your needs. In an ideal situation, your agent should excel at communicating with you on all fronts! Whether that communication happens in-person, over the phone, or via the FAQ page on their website. You should look for an agent that can: - Provide quick and clear answers to all of your pressing questions. - Seamlessly adapt to your communication preferences (e.g., bi-monthly meetings, weekly phone calls, daily updates, etc.). - Outline your selling strategy options and walk you through the best practices. What is the best way to ensure that your agent is a good communicator? Through an interview! We would recommend that you narrow down your real estate agent search to a few different options. Then schedule and conduct interviews with each agent. Use those conversations to figure out who you like best and which agent will be the right fit for your communication habits. Take the time to ask each agent about their experience, active clients, specialties, marketing tactics, references, and communication standards. After those interviews, you’ll have a much clearer picture of which agent you connect with the best. A Focus On Relationships We’ve all heard our fair share of horror stories of pushy real estate agents. Sometimes an agent may try to talk you into buying a house that doesn’t fit the needs of your family. Other pushy agents may rush sellers through the first offer they receive just to make a quick buck. These kinds of scenarios occur when you work with a real estate agent who is solely focused on their paycheck and not on your experience. You can easily avoid those types of situations by working with a Denver real estate agent that prioritizes relationships over revenue. The best agents will take the time to develop a strong personal relationship with you first. Once they have gained a thorough understanding of your wants and needs, your agent will then start the search for your next home or the right buyers. At the end of the day, a relationship-oriented agent is a perfect way to ensure that you have a positive real estate experience.

Now, months later, and the rumors refuse to die. Before the end of June, Intel launched a massive patent auction, but it didn’t take long before the company pulled back the public sale and reportedly started discussions with a single potential buyer. At the time, that buyer was rumored to be Apple. Now, The Wall Street Journal is helping to shed some light on what’s going on, basically confirming that Apple is in “advanced talks” with Intel to buy up the company’s smartphone modem business to a tune of $1 billion. The goal on Apple’s side of things appears to be to save itself from years of development processes, something that Intel has already handled and Apple can build out from: It would give Apple access to engineering work and talent behind Intel’s yearslong push to develop modem chips for the crucial next generation of wireless technology known as 5G, potentially saving years of development work. Apple has been working to develop chips to further differentiate its devices as smartphone sales plateau globally, squeezing the iPhone business that has long underpinned its profits. It has hired engineers, including some from Intel, and announced plans for an office of 1,200 employees in San Diego. And for Intel, this is all about removing a part of its business that has been weighing it down for years, impacting the company’s bottom line: For Intel’s part, a deal would allow the company to shed a business that had been weighing on its bottom line: The smartphone operation had been losing about $1 billion annually, a person familiar with its performance has said, and has generally failed to live up to expectations. The report indicates that a deal could be finalized before the end of July, but plans could also change. It also indicates that Apple and Intel were discussing this path even before Apple and Qualcomm reached a landmark settlement, ending litigation between the two companies and basically securing 5G modems from Qualcomm in 2020. Interestingly, the talks between Intel and Apple broke down following the announcement of the Qualcomm settlement. However, the report indicates that because Apple is the “most logical buyer”, the talks resumed soon after. There is speculation swirling around that Apple is developing its own cellular modem, and the acquisition of Intel’s patents and other important pathways towards that goal would certainly help the company. But nothing is official yet, and, just as it was noted in the original report, the talks could fall through again. Still, it certainly sounds like Apple is on the cusp of a major buy in the coming weeks.

Are you in need of some new clothing but are unsure of how to score the best deal at your local consignment store. Here are my tips for finding frugal clothing and selling it too! How to Shop for Frugal Clothing at Consignment Stores I used to assume that all consignment stores automatically made clothing more expensive. Think about the logic of it, the store has to make money, the person selling the clothes has to make money, and you still want to get a good deal. Doesn’t seem like you would be able to with everyone trying to get their cut! But lately, I’ve found that there can be good deals on clothing, even at consignment stores. Especially if you are looking for specific higher-end brands or if you are just looking for a little better quality clothing than the thrift stores. Here are some tips to try and get the most for your dollar at consignment stores. –If you aren’t into shopping in a store, you may also want to check out my best tips for Buying Used Clothes Online. How to Find Thrifty Clothing 1. Shop around for the best stores. Ask your friends and ask their friends which consignment stores they enjoy shopping at. While one store might have higher prices or higher-end clothing, another might have good prices all the time plus sales! If you have a friend that you admire their clothing style, you may also want to ask them about where they donate or sell their clothing when they are done with it. Some consignment stores carry clothing with different styles (younger, older, etc) and you don’t want to waste your time going to a store that doesn’t have your style if you don’t have to. 2. Pay attention to sales. Many consignment stores mark down clothing after it has been with them a certain period of time or at the end of a season. (For example, I know of a store in my town that marks down anything that is still there after 3 months based on the color of the tag.) At these sales, you can find good deals to buy clothing for another season. If you still aren’t sure when a store might run sales, try to check it out seasonally. Likely certain clothing will be marked down toward the end of a season to make room for the next season’s clothing. Most consignment stores have little to no storage space so they must sell these items! 3. Sell your clothes! When you are done with them or they no longer fit, sell your clothing back to consignment stores! Some stores will give you only credit to their store while others will give you cash so make sure you “shop around” for the best store to sell your items at. You might not make as much as selling your clothing outright but you won’t have to do any of the work. –Too many clothes in your closet? Consider creating a Minimalist Wardrobe! 4. Make double sure you are picking the best store to sell your clothes at. This is a very important point so it’s worth repeating. One store in my town often throws away things they decide not to sell instead of giving them back to you…you don’t want that to happen! Find a store that gives the clothing back to you if it doesn’t sell after a certain time period or a store that donates the unsold clothing to a shelter or a good cause. 5. Just because it’s a brand name, don’t pay more. This goes for shopping anywhere. You want to get a quality item but you don’t need to pay for the tag! Pay attention to what fabrics the clothing is made out of and how durable it feels. Don’t buy used clothing that feels thin or already has holes in it because it won’t last much longer. Also, look for clothing that is made from more natural fabrics versus polyester. It will typically last longer and hold up better in the wash. Do you have a favorite consignment store in your town that you can regularly find good deals at? Tell us about your finds and your tips in the comments! Do you sell your clothing at consignment stores or do you shop at them? What tips do you have or what experiences can you share with other readers? This post on Frugal Clothing was originally posted on Little House Living in September 2012. It has been updated as of September 2019.

We run you through what to look for & give our recommendations for the best rain pants on the market today. Last Updated: October 26, 2020 Looking for the Best Waterproof Pants? You’re in the right place! In this guide, we will be covering the following: Our #1 overall pick for the best waterproof pants for hiking What factors you should consider before purchasing hiking rain trousers The advantages & disadvantages of different makes of hiking waterproof pants No matter how well you plan your hiking adventure, you can never predict when Mother Nature will throw a downpour your way. When choosing what to wear to hiking, a good pair of waterproof hiking pants in many cases should find their way into your pack. Acting as a your shell layer (see our article on hiking layers), not only will rain proof pants help you retain your body heat and wick off moisture, but they will also prevent wind from hitting your legs. In addition to added comfort, waterproof and breathable pants can reduce your risk of catching hypothermia. In this article, we’ll go into more detail how waterproof pants for hiking work and what you should look for when shopping around. We’ll also share a few of the top brands in the outdoors industry to help you on your quest for the perfect pair of waterproof pants. Benefits & Features of Hiking Rain Pants What To Look For In Rain Pants for Hiking and Backpacking? The key feature every camper needs to look for in rain trousers is waterproofing. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a casual or serious hiker; high-quality waterproofing technology is the first thing you look into. After you’ve ensured that the product has a good waterproofing technology, other major considerations include breathability, durability, affordability, and weight. These secondary features will, of course, change in order of importance depending on your the needs for your hiking or backpacking rain gear. Waterproofing Versus Water-Resistance: Is There A Difference? Many people use the terms waterproof and water-resistant interchangeably. It’s important, however, to draw a distinction between these products because they offer customers different degrees of weather protection. Simply put, water-resistant pants are not as strong as waterproof ones. Only invest in water-resistant trousers if you plan to go to areas where there isn’t a great deal of heavy rain. What Are Waterproof Ratings? Over the years manufacturers have devised a standardized ranking system measured in millimeters that lets consumers know how well waterproof products wick off moisture. A product can’t be considered water-resistant until it reaches 1,500mm. Standard Waterproof Rating Ranges As mentioned above, any product that measures 1,500mm or slightly below is merely considered water-resistant. You’ll only get good weather protection from water-resistant products in areas with a light drizzle. The first official waterproof ranking is between 1,500mm and 5,000mm. This low-end range is best for protection against light rainfall. Even casual campers should strive to get a product that falls between these ranges for decent protection. Mid-range waterproof rain pants measure between 5,000mm and 10,000mm. These are good for hikers expecting moderately heavy rainfall on their trek. They might not be able to keep out moisture from torrential downpours, but they offer the best mix of lightweight construction and weather protection. The highest waterproof ratings top out over 10,000mm. Serious hikers who often travel into hazardous weather conditions should look for a product with these specs. What’s The Hydrostatic Head Test? To test any rainproof product, manufacturers take a piece of fabric and put it underneath a cylindrical container of water. Scientists then record the amount of water in milliliters they can pour into the container before water starts leaking through. The minimum amount of water required to leak through a piece of waterproof fabric is known as the hydrostatic head (sometimes abbreviated as HH). Hence, manufacturers call this standard waterproof screening the Hydrostatic Head Test. The Pros & Cons Of Waterproof Membranes Versus Water-Resistant Coatings There are two major distinctions in the world of waterproof vs water resistant design: membrane inserts and waterproof coatings. While membrane products are stronger than those with water-resistant coatings, there are advantages and disadvantages to investing in either of these constructions. Waterproof Membrane: Durability Over Compressibility In addition to keeping rain out, membranes are designed to effectively vent for sweat and body oils. Manufacturers do this by tightly bonding a thin waterproof membrane to the pants’ face fabric. The internal membrane usually has billions of tiny pores that are too small for rain to penetrate, yet large enough to let internal condensation out. The greater breathability and durability membrane products offer make them the preferred choices for serious hikers. Name-brand membrane products like Gore-Tex hiking pants, however, tend to cost and weigh more than less advanced waterproof coated trousers. While Gore-Tex is a prominent name in the industry, many people mistakenly refer to all membrane constructions as “Gore-Tex.” There are, however, many other big names in the membrane manufacturing industry such as eVent and MemBrain Strata. Lightweight Waterproof Coating Waterproof microporous coatings are only designed to keep water from penetrating the fabric; they aren’t designed to let sweat out. For this reason, you can often get an accumulation of sweat on the inside of the material. On the plus side, products with waterproof coatings are easier to pack and more affordable than membrane products. The coating often used is called Durable Water Repellent (aka DWR). DWR fabrics are essentially a thin chemical layer that use fluorocarbons or fluoropolymers to effectively wick off moisture on the trousers’ outer layer. Whether it’s on a raincoat or waterproof pants, DWR’s main purpose is to stop water from clumping on your fabric (DWR products require occasional reapplication with a DWR detergent). Importance Of Taped Seam Construction Even if your product has the highest-quality waterproof membrane, you won’t get the full benefits of rain-protection unless it’s made with taped seams. These heat-sealed seams are an essential design feature because they help keep water from trickling through your materials’ stitching. Ensuring the product has a seam construction is critical if you’re a serious hiker going to areas with a lot of rain. Common Layering Of Membrane Pants Most are made with one of these three fabric layers: 2, 2.5, and 3. Although they will often appear to only have one layer when you hold them in your hands, manufacturers bind these fabrics so tightly that you won’t be able to notice them. Usually these inner fabrics have a special construction that’s able to capture sweat, oils, and moisture, thus increasing breathability without sacrificing warmth retention. What Layering Design Is Best For Casual Hikers? 2 and 2.5-layer products are made with a waterproof exterior fabric and an internal membrane. Usually the inner lining of 2-layer products is made with some combination of polyester and mesh fabric. In the case of 2.5-layer trousers, manufacturers use a thin layer of polyurethane laminate to provide extra breathability and moisture-protection. 2-layer products are ideal for casual campers who expect to face moderate rainfall on their hikes. On the other hand, 3-layer waterproof pants usually have a stronger polyurethane film inside them. Although 3-layer garments are made with an outer waterproof fabric, an internal membrane, and another internal bonded lining, these three fabrics are woven so tightly together that they can feel like one layer. Three-layer products are best suited for serious hikers who expect to face torrential downpours. Obviously, 3-layers are more durable and long-lasting, but they are also heavier than the 2.5 and 2-layer options. Casual hikers who expect to experience light to moderate rainfall will prefer 2.5 and 2-layer fabrics because they are lightweight and easier to pack. Breathable Rain Trousers? After considering how much protection you need from rain, it’s time to look at how well they should let internal moisture out. If there’s no way for sweat and body oils to escape from your clothing when hiking in rain pants, then expect to deal with soggy legs on your hike. However, breathability isn’t just about comfort. Besides being uncomfortable, sweaty legs can sap your energy and significantly reduce the quality of your hike. This is a serious concern if you’re someone who often goes on arduous hikes. Rain products with a breathable fabric usually offer the most comfort for campers seeking to avoid the sticky feeling of sweat-drenched legs. There are, however, many weatherproof coated products that have long side zippers you can use to manually vent (and a few with full length leg zips). How Is Durability Measured? For most hikers, durability shouldn’t be as big a concern as water-resistance and breathability. Durable products obviously have the benefits of increased longevity and strength, but they tend to be heavier and more difficult to pack. Only prioritize durability if you’re a serious hiker who expects to put your apparal to the test often on challenging hikes. You’ll often see denier (abbreviated “D”) used when describing fabric type and durability. A denier refers to the density of fabric per length and weight of the garments’ fibers. One denier is measured as a single strand of fabric, so higher denier numbers mean each strand of fabric has a greater diameter. Extra Features To Look Out For In Waterproof Gear Whenever you see “additional features” you should instantly think “additional weight.” The only extra features worth your time are side pockets and side-zippers. Beyond these two considerations, any other additional features will only add unnecessary weight to your backpack. Convenience of Side Pockets Side pockets are a handy feature for keeping your hands warm on cool nights and storing a few handy items for quick access. Often rain trousers have either a pair of side pockets or a back pocket in their design. Sometimes these pockets double as a stuff sack, which makes packing them up in the wild a great deal easier. When examining pockets, be sure to look into whether they are made out of a breathable material. It’s also important to consider if these pockets have a zippered construction and whether that zipper is waterproof. The Benefits Of Side Zippers Garments with waterproof zippers on the sides are easier to pull over your boots while on the go. In addition to the ease of pulling zippered pants on and off, ones with side zippers allow you to quickly vent off if your legs feel stuffy. One thing to look out for when examining zippered products is how far the zipper goes up. The shortest length a side zipper will go is usually a quarter length of the your pant leg. There are a few zippered options that go up to the knee and some run the whole length of the leg. What’s The Ideal Weight For Hiking Rain Pants? No matter what camping item you’re researching, weight will always be a concern. Even if you’re an ultra light camper, however, you need to prioritize the quality of waterproof protection over weight. Don’t just go hunting for the lightest waterproof breathable pants. The main point of buying them, after all, is to protect you from the rain. For reference, the median weight tends to be between ten and eleven ounces. Next up, we’ll review the best waterproof hiking pants… Outdoor Research Foray Made out of 50D polyester with a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, the Outdoor Research Foray is ideal for hikers and occasional mountaineers looking for extreme protection against the elements. The Foray hydrostatic head measures >28,000 mm. Outdoor Research manufacturers used their patented PacLite Technology to make the Foray easier to compress and lightweight. The average weight of these hovers around 12 ounces and they are available in five sizes ranging from small to xx-large. Considering these are Gore-Tex, the Outdoor Research can pack down quite nicely in your backpack. They have an elastic waistband with a drawcord. If you’re into wearing suspenders, you’ll be happy to know there are loop attachments. You can put them on over your boots and vent off thanks to the three-quarter length water-resistant zippers that run from the ankles upwards. Overall, the Foray have a looser fit, so feel free to wear heavy pants underneath if you’re traveling in colder weather. To help with flexibility, the knees on this product are articulated and the crotch area is gusseted. One slight negative with the Outdoor Research Foray is that it only has one pocket in the back of the right hip. A nice feature of this back pocket, however, is that it doubles as a stuff sack. If you’re not satisfied with these pants for whatever reason, you should know that Outdoor Research products have a lifetime warranty. Hikers who want a pair of pants that have been engineered to offer the durability and breathability of a Gore-Tex product with decent weight and compressibility should look into the Outdoor Research Foray. The main feature of Mountain Hardwear’s Ozonic is that they are the most flexible on the market. As the name suggests, Mountain Hardwear designed them to stretch four ways. This makes these ideal for people who will be doing a great deal of arduous hiking or climbing on their outdoor adventures. There are also slight grooves in the knees to help increase flexibility. Another nice feature of Mountain Hardwear’s Stretch Ozonic is that they have side zippers that run up the full length of the leg. Anyone with bulkier boots won’t have any issues getting these pants on. For a comfy fit around your waist, Mountain Hardwear decided to use an elastic waistband with a clipped belt. There are Velcro tabs on the sides you can place over the side zippers for added protection. You can choose from five sizes of Ozonic going from small to xx-large. As for the material in their construction, the Stretch Ozonic are made out of 40D nylon 2.5 layer with a treatment of the company’s patented Dry Q Active waterproof technology. They are easy to compress and only weigh approximately 10 ounces. The Stretch Ozonic are best for hikers or mountaineers who want a lightweight pair of pants that offer extreme flexibility. You won’t get the same degree of durability as with heavily padded products, but the Stretch Ozonic are great for hikers who want a great pair of stretchy pants that offer fully waterproof protection. Excellent for hikers or mountain climbers who want increased flexibility. Five sizes available. Full-length side zippers. Velcro tabs can pinch into sides. Designed for flexibility rather than weather protection. Marmot’s Minimalist are made of 50D polyester with a 2.5 layer Gore-Tex waterproof Paclite membrane. Despite the durability of the Gore-Tex membrane, they pack up quite well and only weigh 11.2 ounces. To further protect you from the elements, Marmot coated these pants with a DWR treatment. Marmot’s pants have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm HH. You’ll also enjoy two welded zippered pockets on the sides of the hips. The waist belt on them is elastic with a draw closure. There are only three sizes available: small, medium, and large. By the ankles there are snap closures as well as zippers that open one-forth of the way up the boot cuffs. Marmot Minimalist can be a bit difficult to get over bulky boots due to these small zippers. Marmot’s Minimalist are best for intermediate or advanced hikers looking for a good balance between durability and packability. While wearing them, you’ll experience some of the best Gore-Tex weather protection in the industry without sacrificing ease of packing. Without a doubt, when it comes to the best pants for hiking in rain, then the Marmot Minimalist wins. Great balance between Gore-Tex durability and compressibility. If your main priority is lightweight construction, then you need to check out the Outdoor Research Helium. This ultralight option clocks in at only 6.5 ounces a pair – there’s no denying the Helium are one of the lightest available on the market. Although these lightweight rain pants weight is their main selling point, they are also durable enough to handle heavy downpours. They are made out of 30D nylon ripstop with a 2.5-layer Pertex Shield and a waterproof, breathable insert. The Helium have a waterproof score of 13,000mm HH. The Helium come in six sizes ranging x-small to xx-large. All have elasticated waistbands with a cinch cord to help tighten them around your hips. While Outdoor Research’s Helium have water-resistant zippers on the sides, they are only one-fourth length. There is one pocket in the back of these pants that also serves as a stow sack. Bottom line, if you’re someone who’s looking for some of the lightest and most compressible rain gear in the industry and don’t mind sacrificing conveniences like full-length zippers and side pockets, Outdoor Research’s Helium Pants may be for you. Environmentalists are sure to admire the Torrentshells’ design, which uses 100 percent recycled BlueSign-approved nylon. Patagonia also included its unique 2.5-layer H2No Performance Standard waterproof technology in this design to help protect against moisture. For even more water-resistance, the Torrentshell manufactures put a DWR treatment on the outside. The Patagonia Torrentshell pants have side zips that run from the ankle to the knee, so it’s easy to pull them on over your hiking shoes and open them for ventilation. There are also two zippered pockets on the sides with mesh interiors for additional comfort. You can use the left pocket as a stuff sack. Patagonia’s Torrentshell weigh 11 ounces on average and are available in three sizes: large, x-large, and xx-large. The waistband is elasticated and has a drawcord to help wearers feel as comfortable as possible. Patagonia manufactures also articulated the Torrentshells’ knees to help with flexibility. Eco-conscious hikers who place a high valuation on comfort should give the Torrentshell a try. With convenient features like two front pockets, long side-zippers, H2No Performance Standard technology, and a lightweight construction, the Torrentshell were designed to make hiking in the rain as comfortable as humanly possible. Side zips go up to the knees. Made out of environmentally-friendly recycled nylon. Made out of 70D nylon fabric, the Columbia Rebel Roamer also has a layer of Omni-Tech waterproof technology. One interesting feature about the Rebel Roamer’s construction is that there are smooth taffeta inner linings that are sure to keep your legs nice and warm. The average weight of Columbia’s Rebel Roamer is 12.5 ounces. Columbia offers six sizes of the Rebel Roamer from x-small to xx-large. Rebel Roamer’s waistband is made of elastic and there is a drawcord you can use to tighten them. A major negative for the Rebel Roamer is that it has few bonus features. In particular, the Rebel Roamer has no pockets or side zippers. Also, since they don’t have an internal membrane, don’t expect strong windproof protection in the event of a major downpour. If you’re a beginning hiker looking for an affordable and easy-to-pack rain pant without side zippers or pockets, the Rebel Roamer might be for you. Cheap, so good for new hikers who go to rainy regions infrequently. Easy to compress. 70 D nylon and Omni-Tech waterproof technology. Soft taffeta inner linings Not durable enough for long treks or mountaineering. North Face’s Venture 2 are made up of a 40D combination of 62 percent nylon and 38 percent polyester. The lining of these pants, however, is 100 percent polyester. For stronger weather-protection, North Face included a 2.5 layer DryVent polyurethane insert. The North Face Venture 2 has Velcro straps on the ankle tabs as well as side zippers that go as high as the knees. There are two zippered hand pockets by the thighs, one of which serves as a handy stow sack. North Face’s Venture 2 comes in four sizes available from small to xx-large. The waist is elasticated. Expect to add about 12 ounces to your backpack with them. Hikers who can spare a few extra ounces in their backpack and want an easily compressible pair of rain trousers with half-length side zippers and polyurethane insert might enjoy the Venture 2.

Approximately 90% of slips and falls in the workplace occur when the floor is wet with water or contaminated with other substances. There is a common misconception that many slips ‘just happen’ and that little can be done about it however, this isn’t true. Introducing good slip prevention measures, especially in high risk areas, can both cut injuries by as much as 50% and also cover you in terms of the law if managed effectively. Here, we will give you insight into the types of areas that may require special attention and what flooring materials will work best in certain environments. As a result we hope that you can create a better working environment for you, the workforce and your customers. To begin, here are the top 3 areas that often need to take priority: This is clearly the most utilised space in any commercial premises, and why it is of great importance to introduce a flooring which is high in durability and slip resistance. Not only this, after choosing a flooring that can withstand high footfall and optimum safety, it's also important to have the area regularly checked in order to ensure it still meets HSE standards after high levels of use. Some outside entrances may even include a ramp or stairs for access to the building and therefore are exposed to weathering and wet conditions. It is vital to consider the material used on the ramp, as walking on an inclined surface requires a higher level of friction. In order to test the friction of the ramp, you can benefit from a ramp test from our team at National Testing. Due to being a high traffic area it is vital that this space is inspected thoroughly and consists of a flooring that can survive the tough environment. 2. Staff Kitchens This is a space which is highly prone to contamination from spills of liquids and food, therefore the flooring chosen should be textured rather than a smooth tiled floor which can be extra slippery when wet. Although the flooring material chosen is clearly important in this environment, it should also be well maintained through regular cleaning to reduce the amount of contamination and remove any residue underfoot. Again, kitchens tend to be extremely high traffic areas which is why it's important to risk assess frequently for any wear and tear or reduction of slip resistance. 3. Customer Toilets This is an area which sometimes is forgotten about when considering safe flooring due to the fact that toilets tend to be tucked away from the main footfall areas. However, they are highly prone to water spillages from people washing their hands and therefore it is important to have a flooring which suits best to wet conditions. Further to this, it should be emphasised to cleaning staff that this is an area not to be missed. The safety and sustainability of your restroom flooring is important to us at National Testing, we encourage you to talk to us today to launch the first step. We can assist in helping you choose the correct material or in measuring your current levels of slip resistance to ensure they meet with HSE requirements. If you decide that your premises needs new sustainable and slip resistant flooring to aid in a high risk area then you could consider introducing the following materials: - Safetex Vinyl - Anti slip mats and tiles (Rubber is a common option) - Anti slip floor coatings and treatments - Anti slip tapes (for handrails or ramps) - Anti slip floor and step coverings. Of course, when choosing a slip resistant flooring material for your facilities, you not only want to prioritise safety but also to consider factors such as durability, aesthetics, ease of fitting and price of installation. If you are interested in finding out more about the types of flooring material appropriate for your business premises, or are in need of testing your existing flooring to investigate how safe it is, get in touch with us at National Testing - we will be more than happy to assist you.

Is a Civil Rights Intifada Brewing in Lebanon? Are Palestinian Students in Lebanon Being Pressured to Choose Kalashnikovs Over College? by FRANKLIN LAMB Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian Camp. They are 67 new families, or about 400 Palestinian refugees displaced from Syria, residing in 60 recently erected tents set up as an emergency "gathering' near the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp adjacent to the city of Sidon in southern Lebanon. In all, there are approximately 75,000 thousand Palestinians in Lebanon who have fled from Syria over the past 28 months. Additional Palestinians arrive every week and sometimes meet former neighbors from Yarmouk and other Syrian Palestinian camps at the Masnaa Lebanon-Syria border crossing. The new arrivals are often grimaced to happen upon their countrymen who are returning to take their chances facing death in Syria including dodging the snipers and bombings targeting Yarmouk and elsewhere. The reasons the returnees give for returning to Syria focus on the appalling humanitarian conditions in Lebanon for Palestinians as well as the nearly 780,000 other refugees here from Syria. Palestinians forced into Lebanon from Syria soon learn, if they were not aware previously, that all Palestinians refugees in Lebanon are barred by law from the most elementary civil rights to work and to own a home. More than 50 professions open to Palestinians in Syria and in every other country, including occupied Palestine, are forbidden here. Two examples of jobs Palestinians can do and are doing in Lebanon when they arrive from Syria include scavenging through the rotting filth at Saida Garbage Mountain and other Lebanese government public garbage dumps to find something worth a few Lebanese Lira (LL) to help their loved ones survive. No, nearly impossible to secure work permit, is even required so they need not fear arrest by the Lebanese authorities who irregularly round up Palestinian violators of this country's no work for Palestinian refugees ban. The same, "no work permit required" reality is true of another profession which critics accuse the "Government" of Lebanon and its competing politicians of approving instead of allowing even one currently banned legitimate job to those whose lives are at risk and who are desperately in need of livelihood. That profession which is open to every Palestinian today in Lebanon willing to consider it, is "hired gun'. While both the major political grouping in Lebanon will deny they do it but will accuse the other, the fact of the matter is that both continue to discreetly recruit Palestinians to fight their personal battles on the cheap. It is unfortunately the case that some Palestinians, sweltering in the squalid, fetid camps in Lebanon, discriminated against in public institutions of higher learning, and barred from internationally mandated elementary civil rights, are seeking jobs as militiamen. This against the admonitions and sage counsel of the older generation of PLO fighters, now mainly retired, that the Syrian civil war is not theirs and that Palestinian involvement will not advance Return to Palestine and reclaiming stolen homes and land, by one minute or by one inch. The choice for many Palestinian young men in Lebanon has come down to guns or education. By force of Lebanese law and under threat of prison for violators, Palestinians are denied the elementary civil rights to work in more than 50 professions and are barred by a 2001 racist law from them or their families, more than six decades living as refugees in Lebanon, from even owning a home. Among Palestinian youth, unemployment rates hover around 70%, while refugee students are also discriminated against in admission to Lebanese state institutions of higher education, including the relatively low-tuition fees at Lebanese University. This makes it difficult for young Palestinians in Lebanon to pursue higher education after graduating from UNWRA schools and passing the Baccalaureate II exam. Being barred from most jobs, it is very difficult to come up with even modest sums for tuition payments. Against this backdrop of flagrant state sponsored discrimination, if one were to offer un-employed young camp resident, say $ 200 per month, an AK-47 with plenty of ammo, and free cigarettes, the odds are good that you just might have yourself a militiaman. Those journalists and observers who spent much of the summer of 2011 in Libya saw a similar phenomenon and now it's also the case in Syria. In Lebanon, it is resurgent from the 1975-90 civil war days. The gun for hire resource is being exploited across the political spectrum here among many of the same confessions and political parties that ignited this country's massively destructive civil war more than three decades ago. Today, some Palestinians are being paid to fight for certain factions whether from the North of Lebanon at Tripoli and Akkar, to Beirut and various contentious areas such as Tariq al-Jdideh, Sabra, Cola, and down south in Saida during recent clashes that saw 16 Lebanese army killed and twice that number from the supporters of Salafist activist Ahmad Asir. Despite denials from some sources, there were a few Palestinians who fought for Asir and some Palestinians joined other militia including the Hezbollah organized "Resistance Brigades' and the Lebanese army in fighting against Asir's forces. An investigation in supposedly underway of the army's conduct and the involvement of political parties from both the March 14 anti-Assad sects and elements of the March 8th pro-Assad groups regarding recruitment of Palestinian youngsters. President Mahmoud Abbas repeatedly warned Palestinians in Lebanon during his 72 hour visit to Lebanon last week to reject these offers and not to be drawn into the Syrian conflict despite the "market place maneuverings' going on here from various armed confessions. What he meant is that as most of the Lebanese sects are frantically arming and seeking gunmen and weapons, that Palestinian s must refuse to be exploited once again and that they must reject any involvement in a military conflict that contravenes their communities wishes and their national interest. He lectured a gathering of PLO factions at a Palestine Embassy event that this terrible error was the case during the 1975-1990 Lebanese civil wars. For that involvement, Palestinians in Lebanon continue to pay a very heavy price from certain factions here that rather see Lebanon's economy continue to decline than allow Palestinians to work and help build the local economy as they have done in countless other countries which granted them the right to work and the opportunity to invest in the economy with their technical competence and business skills. As one Palestinian academic pointed out last week to this observer, "While President Abbas assured Lebanese politicians that Palestinian factions did not want to join the Syrian civil war, he also chastised Lebanon's government in private for not pressuring various factions, most with representatives in Parliament, to stop recruiting and enticing the hapless, desperate for work refugees, forced into Lebanon against their will. PA President Abbas also repeated the PLO's willingness to turn the refugee camps weapons over to the government. He did this with a straight face but surely he knows well that despite the regular scapegoating of Palestinians refugees in Lebanon and the danger they are said by some to pose because some have access to light arms, as everyone in Lebanon does, the truth of the matter is that the Lebanese political groups, even the most open about their hatred of Palestinians in Lebanon, do not want the state to collect or receive as gifts the arms in the Palestinian camps and gatherings, however many there they in fact are. The reason is that if the Palestinians had no weapons at all in the camp, it would make it awkward for some politicians to use the fear of a return to the early 1970's and the potential danger of a Palestinian uprising for sects political advantage. Truth told, there is no realistic fear, unless provoked, from Palestinians arms. They are exaggerated as is the number of salafist factions inside camps. Yet without the right to work, some Palestinians will doubtless be seduced into becoming hired guns for scarce cash to feed their families.

After winning the first ever Pandaland CrossFit Challenge and booking his ticket to the 2020 CrossFit Games in the process, Khan Porter let his emotions get the best of him – for all the right reasons. The 30-year-old five-time CrossFit Games veteran woke up with a sore back and was considering pulling out of the competition. But as Porter has realised over the years, like so many people, regular and superstar CrossFit athletes alike, the biggest war is between the ears. “I get inside my own head,” said the Australian native. “As long as I can remember and yeah my back was sore but I know once I get into the warm-up area before the competition everything feels sore.” Porter said once the adrenaline started pumping and he felt the energy of the crowd, it all became secondary to the goal at hand: book his return to the Games as an individual after competing last year with Project X. “I have a saying that I say to myself when I’m out there, ‘It’s just pain’.” Porter has championed mental health for years, going public with his struggles concerning anxiety and depression which culminated with two of his close friends suggesting he reach out for professional help back in 2015. Porter had detailed in past interviews about how he’s had issues with sleep, bullying and his own personal sense of identity. The World Economic Forum estimates approximately one in six people globally (about 15 to 20 per cent) suffer from a mental health or substance abuse issue, which would put the total at over a billion of the world’s population. However the WEF also admits statistical analysis for mental health issues are “poorly defined, measured, and understood”, meaning numbers could potentially be much higher. Porter, who has advocated for increased awareness when it comes to mental health, and also championed the cause of erasing the stigma around it, said winning Pandaland was awesome, but there is much more to life for him. “I don’t know how much more time I’ve got in this sport as an athlete but I sure as hell want to use that time to be as open as possible about my life away from the sport, and the various bits and pieces and battles that I go through. Because I know it does resonate with people.” Porter, who has 135,000 followers on Instagram, has spoken candidly about mental health in a number of interviews over the years, as well as lending his name and brand to various charity causes. He said Instagram can operate like a highlight reel of someone’s life and it’s important to know that in between posts can lie someone who is in incredible pain even though their photos put forth a completely different image. “Knowing that I can share my story through the platform that I get as an athlete, to know that might help someone if they’re going through the same thing, that’s far more valuable to me. And I’ll hold onto that as long as I will winning any competition.” Now with his ticket to the Games booked after holding off veteran Jacob Heppner, who finished sixth earlier this year at the big dance, Porter said he is definitely looking forward to taking it easy for awhile now. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Khan Porter (@iamkhanporter) on “I was in two minds about even coming to this event, I’m banged up, we’ve had a big year, I’ve been competing almost every six weeks to a month or so since January, doing sanctioned events, training camps all over the world, the Games. And don’t get me wrong it sounds like I’m saying it was a chore, it was one of the coolest years of travel I’ve ever had, but man I’m just banged up and I’m tired and I need a break, and what better time coming into the Christmas season.” He said there was also a mental side to Pandaland that he has now gotten over. After coming 13th with Project X this August in Madison, Wisconsin along with Harriet Roberts, who won the women’s division at Pandaland and also booked her tickets to the Games, Porter said he can now focus on seeing just how far he can go solo. “I feel like as long as I’m still improving I still want to test myself as an individual. Like I was saying to the guys before, when I do take the competition floor as an individual it’s such a journey for me physically and mentally and the growth that I experience not just as an athlete but as a human being is super special, and it’s something I’d like to do as long as I can.” Having booked his ticket to the 2020 CrossFit Games eight months prior during the sport’s second Sanctional now means Porter can tailor almost an entire year around one competition. He said this will afford him a lot of opportunities to fine-tune a game that already looks primed. “It means I can drop back my volume, I can focus on patching up my back, fixing that, building some strength and stability which I really need to work on, and have neglected in favour of keeping that engine ticking over. And build a season around the 2020 Games, that starts now, it honestly feels surreal.” But first Porter said he is more than ready to return home and focus on relaxing. “What’s next for me is to go home and have a big f****** rest.”

Impaired Judgment, Decision Making and Flying Skills due to Fatigue (OGHFA SE) From SKYbrary Wiki |Content source:||Flight Safety Foundation| |Human Factors Aspects||Fatigue, Fixation, Critical Thinking, Judgment, Decision Making| |ENR / APR| |Operator's Guide to Human Factors in Aviation| |Impaired Judgment, Decision Making and Flying Skills due to Fatigue| The Accident as a Situational example Your crew has been recalled to flying duty for an unexpected trip to replace another aircraft that is grounded because of mechanical problems. You have been awake during the preceding two nights, and your crew has been on duty for about 18 hr, having flown all night before accepting this new assignment. The captain feels tired when accepting this mission but not to the point of refusing it. After an initial positioning flight, your crew reviews arrival and departure procedures for the destination while the aircraft is loaded. None of the crew has ever landed this aircraft type at the destination airport. Upon completion of the aircraft’s dispatch and loading operations, the flight departs in the early afternoon with the captain pilot flying (PF) and you as pilot not flying (PNF). The aircraft also has a highly qualified flight engineer. After two and a half hours of flight, you begin your approach and are transferred from the radar controller to the tower controller, who requests you to report at a specific place, “Point Papa.” Moments later, the tower requests you to remain within designated airspace and close to the runway related to the point designated by a flashing strobe light. The strobe light is mounted on a guard tower along the shoreline at the border of a foreign country. There is only one strobe, and it is used as a visual aid to identify the location of the border fence. Today, the strobe light is not working, but this fact is not reported by the tower controller. This strobe light is supposed to help maintain the necessary space to turn right towards the nearby runway for landing. The aircraft slows down with full flaps and gear down, and the captain repeatedly tells you and the flight engineer that he has difficulty identifying the runway and the strobe light. He receives advice from his crewmembers to slow down even more and check the turn. What would your strategy be for landing? This approach is becoming even more troublesome as there is a southerly wind resulting in increased groundspeed during the base leg and an increased turn radius to align the aircraft with the runway, making it necessary to start the turn earlier or use a steeper turn to maintain the proper ground track. Would you continue the landing? Being on a wide base turn at about 1,000 ft, the aircraft turns late at a bank angle of 30 to 40 degrees. At 400 ft, the bank angle increases to 60 degrees while still overshooting the runway extended centerline. The aircraft then turns right as if the pilot is using rudder to make the runway centerline, rocking toward wings level. At that point, the right wing appears to stall, the aircraft rolls to a bank of 90 degrees and pitches down after stalling. The aircraft hits terrain west of the approach end of runway and is destroyed. The three crew members survive, but they are seriously injured. The stick-shaker activated seconds before the stall and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) recorded that maximum power had been called for, even though by then it was too late. Data, Discussion and Human Factors Approach-and-landing accidents account for 55 percent of hull losses and 50 percent of fatalities. (Flight Safety Digest, “Killers in Aviation,” 1999.) The investigation reviewed cumulative totals for sleep and wakefulness in the 28.5 hr prior to the accident, which confirmed that fatigue played a pivotal role for all the crewmembers, even though the flight engineer had only joined the others on the morning of the event. The crew had been on duty for about 18 hr at the time of the accident, having flown all night before accepting this new assignment. The captain had felt tired when accepting the mission but not to the point of refusing it, a practice that would not be welcomed. Crew scheduling stated it was told by dispatch that the crew would complete its sequence within the 24-hr duty time, which did not pose any legal problem for the international flight. Substandard performance by an experienced and proficient crewmember may reflect the debilitating influences of fatigue indicated by three factors pushing them over the edge and negatively affecting judgment: - Cumulative sleep loss, in the 28.5 hr prior to the accident : - the captain had been awake 23.5 hr with only 5 hr of sleep, - the first officer had been awake 19 hr with only 8 hr of sleep, - the flight engineer had been awake 21 hr with only 6 hr of sleep, - These continuous hours of wakefulness created the likelihood of committing procedural and tactical decision-making errors, - Circadian disruption, whereby two periods of maximum sleepiness merge as regulated by the brain, i.e. between 3 and 5, morning or afternoon, the latter being applicable to the time of this event, late afternoon, when waking performance and alertness only just start to rise again, Crewmembers had been awake during the preceding two nights and had tried to sleep during the day, adding to their circadian sleep disorder. In fact, both the captain and first officer stated that they normally needed some 8 hr sleep per night, but in the 48 hr preceding the flight they had only slept 8 and 10 hr, respectively. The flight engineer normally slept about 9.5 hr each night but had only had 12 hr in the preceding 48. The result was delayed reaction time as the captain became slow in his decision making and was subject to tunnel vision or fixation, focusing exclusively on one aspect to the exclusion of others. He became fixated on the strobe light and was continually trying to locate it rather than flying the aircraft. Fatigue had led him to being lethargic and indifferent to the developing situation — the non-stabilized approach and the lack of situational awareness relative to the runway. The problem, however, was that the captain did not know that the strobe light was inoperative and continued to look for it because the first officer had falsely identified it, as he himself was fatigued. Had the captain known there was no strobe light, he would probably have concentrated on flying the aircraft and might have recognized the evolving lethal cocktail of low airspeed, steep bank, low altitude and increasing stall speed as a result of increasing bank angles in the attempt to still try to make the runway so late on short final. Had the captain been in a critical-thinking mode and had not suffered severe fatigue, he would most likely have reduced the bank angle, increased thrust, levelled the wings and gone around. The approach was quite demanding and easily caused visual confusion. There was neither a missed approach briefing nor any specific review of the difficulties inherent in this very specific non-precision approach. The captain’s decision to land on the runway — and not on the reciprocal because of prevailing winds — was not challenged by either of the other crewmembers, who knew this approach was going to be difficult. Toward the final approach crew communications deteriorated even more when both the flight engineer and the first officer repeatedly tried to express their doubts about the flight’s successful outcome. The tired captain seemed to ignore their concerns and suggestions for a go-around. The first officer failed to assist him in calling out safety-related information concerning runway proximity and excessive bank angle and not supporting the flight engineer’s pressing warnings about dangerously low airspeed. Prevention Strategies and Lines of Defense It is a fact that sleepiness traditionally has not been considered very seriously. Operationally, alertness matters more than fatigue as it conditions almost every aspect of human capability and performance. And when it comes to scheduling practices, irrespective of organization, personal relations, organizational issues and even politics often confuse the subject. Hence, ICAO recommends setting up fatigue and alertness management systems as dedicated safety management systems to embed this specific preoccupation and tie it with scheduling into an airline’s prevention strategies and lines of defense. The following strategies are recommended to avoid this type of incident: - Because of the difficulties inherent in this approach, the crew should have focused more on preparing for a go-around. - Explicitly agree on limits beyond which a go-around or other recovery action will be initiated. - Explicitly define task-sharing so that it is clear who is to monitor all critical flight parameters. - Work as a team to perform accurate risk assessments and tactical decision making based on: - Approach type - Risk of specific threats - Conduct effective briefings that fully review approach procedures, profiles and aircraft configurations, including: - Final Approach Fix (FAF) - Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) - Do not fall prey to press-on-it-is or fixation by yielding to ATC or time pressures to rush the approach. - If necessary, execute a go-around to provide time to build situational awareness and stabilize any stressful situation. - Buy time to create common situational awareness among the crew. - Make sure you use callouts effectively when flying an unfamiliar non-precision approach. Summary of Key Points This accident could have been prevented if the crew had recognized that all three were exhausted from fatigue from their previous flight duties and if they had taken the right decision not to accept the flight. Had this crew not been overly exhausted, they would have routinely performed the more difficult approach. However, unable to cope with more workload, the captain trapped himself by focusing on a single task, searching for a missing strobe light. Sleepiness impaired his decision making, reaction time, coordination with the rest of the crew and information processing. Addressing situations involving impaired decision-making, judgment and flying abilities due to fatigue requires: - Being sensitive to possible fixation, tunnel vision and press-on-it-is. - Maintaining situational awareness at all times and assess whether available information is sufficient to support mission goals. - Preserving judgment to allow sufficient time to prepare for essential aspects of flight management such as conducting briefings and working together as a team to enable critical thinking and maintain appropriate decision making. - Managing pressures, stress and distractions due to unexpected events, unusual circumstances or breakdowns in crew communications when the situation becomes very critical.

Indexed on: 09 Sep '99Published on: 09 Sep '99Published in: Astrophysics The brightness of the moonless night sky above La Palma was measured on 427 CCD images taken with the Isaac Newton and Jacobus Kapteyn Telescopes on 63 nights during 1987 - 1996. The median sky brightness at high elevation, high galactic latitude and high ecliptic latitude, at sunspot minimum, is B = 22.7, V = 21.9, R = 21.0, similar to that at other dark sites. The main contributions to sky brightness are airglow and zodiacal light. The sky is brighter at low ecliptic latitude (by 0.4 mag); at solar maximum (by 0.4 mag); and at high airmass (0.25 mag brighter at airmass 1.5). Light pollution (line + continuum) contributes < 0.03 mag in U, approximately 0.02 mag in B, approximately 0.10 mag in V, approximately and 0.10 mag in R at the zenith. This paper is a summary of results which are presented in full elsewhere (Benn & Ellison 1998, La Palma Technical Note 115).

UW Tacoma Assistant Professor Uba Backonja has a framed screen shot of a Tweet reaction on her office shelf. It reads “Sam Neill likes your Tweet” and includes a picture of Neill, the actor known for his role as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. “It’s one of the highlights of my life because Jurassic Park made such a big impression on me.” A ten year-old Backonja read the book Jurassic Park five times during the summer between fifth and sixth grades. She then saw the movie a “ton” of times. “It really spoke to my interest in biology and the world,” said Dr. Backonja. “I really liked Dr. Sattler and Dr. Grant and wanted to be like them when I grew up.” Dr. Backonja is originally from Wisconsin. She earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in biological anthropology. “I was pre-med, but it didn’t really seem to fit what I wanted to do,” said Backonja. “Biological anthropology was more holistic because it took into consideration where people lived, their interactions with other people and the environment.” Dr. Backonja decided to take a year off from school after finishing her undergraduate degree. A professor told her about a field work opportunity to the Solomon Islands. The island chain is about a thousand miles northeast of Brisbane, Australia. “I had to fly to Australia then to the main city in the Solomon Islands and then fly to another, smaller city, and then take a canoe with a little motor on the back to the actual village where we were staying,” said Dr. Backonja. Dr. Backonja, like Drs. Sattler and Grant, ventured to a distant corner of the globe. Although she didn’t find dinosaurs, she did discover something of value. “I really came to appreciate health promotion and disease prevention because there was a lot of preventable disease and injuries in the tiny little village where I lived,” she said. The remoteness provided Dr. Backonja with a different perspective. “We’d go out and catch fish with a hand line,” she said. “Basically, you take a lure, wrap it around your hand and just drag it behind a boat.” The experience also presented an opportunity to work closely with the local population. “I liked the one-on-one care with the community,” said Dr. Backonja. The field work lasted two months. Afterwards, Backonja returned home to Wisconsin. She hadn’t been back long when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. Backonja traveled to New Orleans in October 2005, less than two months after the storm hit as a Disaster Services volunteer with the American Red Cross. She also conducted “windshield assessments” to try and “get a sense of who was home and who wasn’t” in order to see where help was needed. During those assessments, “You’d see things like a boat stuck in a tree or a car smashed into the side of a house.” The destruction in New Orleans opened Dr. Backonja’s eyes. “It really made apparent to me the issue of social inequity,” she said. “Certain communities were devastated more than others. There were wealthy neighborhoods that were impacted, but poorer neighborhoods had fewer resources and less opportunity than others to recover. This experience led me down a path of working to support marginalized communities.” Backonja returned to school, earning a master’s and Ph.D. in nursing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “I like the perspective of nursing because it allows you to focus more on health promotion and on understanding the context in which people lived,” she said. While in graduate school Backonja got a chance to work on Project HealthDesign. The Robert Wood Foundation-funded project looked into the “power and potential of personal health records.” “This work showed me how technology could play a role in supporting disease management and health promotion in everyday life.” While working with a Project HealthDesign grantee, Dr. Backonja helped evaluate data visualizations created for high school students about their own health that were then shared with their healthcare providers. “I got to see how visualizations look really cool, but were confusing to health care providers,” she said. “They saw value in having a quick snapshot of data, but needed it be presented in a different way.” Backonja visited Vancouver, British Columbia, as a child and fell in love with the area. “I told myself I want to end up here,” she said. Dr. Backonja’s interest in nursing, public health and data visualization lead her to Seattle and a National Library of Medicine Biomedical Informatics Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Washington School of Medicine. “I focused specifically on getting data visualization training and experience,” she said. Dr. Backonja came to UW Tacoma in the fall of 2016. She teaches multiple courses in the Nursing & Healthcare Leadership program including data analytics and an introductory course in health informatics. She is also co-investigator on Solutions in Health Analytics for Rural Equity across the Northwest (SHARE-NW), a five-year project to identify, gather, and visualize data with public health leaders to more effectively address rural health disparities and achieve health equity in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. SHARE-NW is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health. “The idea is to develop a dashboard that supports data sharing, data use and data gathering for rural public health departments in these states,” said Backonja. “We specifically want to understand and address health disparities in these communities.” Dr. Backonja and others on the SHARE-NW team are currently interviewing stakeholders to determine their data and visualization needs. “A lot of data visualizations grow out of massive data sets,” said Dr. Backonja. “We’re working with smaller datasets from smaller populations which presents some unique challenges. There are privacy concerns if you’re working with a community of 200 people and you create a visualization that could impact their privacy or sense of safety.” For Dr. Backonja, childhood fascination has turned into reality. Her early love of science and exploration led her around the world and to the place she always wanted to be. It has been an adventure….twenty or so years in the making.

For brides who have a tattoo that they want to cover on their wedding day, there is now a solution – the Tattoo Secret Tattoo Camouflage Kit. There are many products on the market to cover tattoos, but often I have had comments from brides who have used them and said that they are heavy, thick products which are difficult for them to apply. This has meant brides often relying on a professional to do this for them. I was so excited when I heard about this kit, as it sounded the perfect solution. If you have a tattoo for example at the base of your back, your wedding dress will cover it, but there are brides who have tattoos on their chest/ upper back/ arm and whilst they may love the look of their tattoo day-to-day, they want to cover it on their wedding day.

In Up Next, Teen Vogue talks to up-and-coming talent about their journey to fame and the influences that have informed their extraordinary work. Name: Francesca Hayward Hometown: Sussex, England Big break: Principal part in the ballet “Manon.” Up next: Lead role as Victoria in the upcoming film “CATS,” premiering Dec. 20. Reprising an iconic play like CATS is difficult for theater — and it turns out playing one in a major motion picture is equally as hard. Thankfully, upcomer Francesca Hayward isn’t afraid of a challenge and, on Dec. 20, she will prove her talent as both a Jellicle Cat and rising star with the world premiere of CATS. Stacked with an all-star cast consisting of Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, and more, Francesca plays the principal role as Victoria, a white cat with an incredible knack for ballet. But, working alongside A-list stars like this wasn’t necessarily intimidating for Francesca — after all, she’s had nearly two decades worth of professional ballet training, which requires an innumerable amount of patience and discipline, especially under extreme amounts of stress. “It was surreal,” she explains to Teen Vogue of her experience working alongside Hollywood greats. “I just forced myself not to think about it the fact that I would be acting across from these legends.” For Francesca, making the transition between dance and film wasn’t intentional or even necessarily planned. A professional ballerina in The Royal Ballet, Francesca explains that her move towards film was based almost purely on nostalgia. “I’ve loved CATS since I was a child — particularly the role of Victoria, so when the opportunity to audition came about I was very interested,” she explains. She notes that although she would love to do more films in the future, traditional ballet is still the most important aspect in her life and career. In fact, she’s currently starring in the Royal Opera House’s production of Coppélia (yes, while balancing CATS promotion across the globe), and she has at least three other ballet productions set for 2020, including the famed Swan Lake.

Group CEO and Executive Director’s Statement CDL’s strong track record in ESG performance, guided by our four key pillars of strategy – Integration, Innovation, Investment, and Impact – will enable us to forge ahead in the new climate economy, futureproofing our business and sustaining growth in the right manner. 2020 is a critical year to kick-start a decade of urgent and robust climate action. The past 10 years have gone down in history as the planet’s hottest decade, the environmental impacts of which have reverberated throughout the world. In the five years since COP21, climate change morphed from a serious challenge to a full-blown emergency, leaving impending threats and uncertainties in its wake. This year, countries that have pledged their support for the Paris Agreement are preparing to submit their new or revised national plans with much higher ambitions since the world is currently on track towards a global temperature rise of 3°C, double the target set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. 2020 is also a crucial year for addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that set targets for the world to become safer, healthier, fairer and more sustainable by 2030. To achieve these ambitious goals, both policymakers and businesses share the same level of responsibility to mitigate and adapt to the climate emergency, which makes it vital for all to work together to form a strong force for good. Increasingly, the business case for ESG integration is strengthening, as seen in the rise of ESG investing.1 According to Morningstar, ESG funds amassed US$20.6 billion of new money in 2019 – four times as much as the previous high bar2 of US$5.5 billion in 2018. Companies that manage sustainability risks and opportunities tend to have stronger cash flows, lower borrowing costs and higher valuations over time.3 Financiers are also increasingly pegging lending rates to the ESG performance of corporate borrowers. The need for a sustainability mindset has never been greater and more critical for businesses to unlock opportunities in a low-carbon economy. As a pioneering force in sustainability, CDL’s strong track record in ESG performance, guided by our four key pillars of strategy – Integration, Innovation, Investment, and Impact – will enable us to forge ahead in the new climate economy, future-proofing our business and sustaining growth in the right manner. Creating Enduring Value Through Our Ethos “Conserving as We Construct” Since 1995 ESG integration is fundamental to creating long-term value for our business and all our stakeholders. As an expansion of our sustainability commitments, we have aligned our ESG efforts with 14 relevant SDGs and we are also the first Singapore company to embrace the SDGs in our Integrated Sustainability Report since 2016. Guided by the “CDL Future Value 2030 Sustainability Blueprint” that mapped out strategic goals and ESG targets, we have continued to track and report our performance on a quarterly and annual basis since 2017. In the year under review, I am glad to report that we are on track to achieve all our key ESG targets, with some areas requiring further adaptation due to operational changes. Singapore recently announced its goal to halve its emissions by 2050 and to achieve net-zero “as soon as viable in the second half of the century”4 . CDL has been an early mover to lower our carbon footprint through best practices and innovation. Being the first private sector property developer in Singapore to achieve the ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 50001 Energy Management System certifications in 2003 and 2014 respectively, we continually build on our efforts to expand our natural capital as we grow our business for a low-carbon future. In 2019, we achieved a 38% reduction in carbon emissions intensity from baseyear 2007 against our 2030 SBTi-validated target of 59%, meeting our interim 2019 target and we are on track to achieving our 2030 goal. Since 2009, CDL has stayed ahead of the curve by voluntarily reducing our annual carbon emissions to net-zero for our corporate office operations including our data centre, and 11 Tampines Concourse – the first CarbonNeutral® development in Singapore and the Asia Pacific. Besides carbon neutralising the construction phase of 11 Tampines Concourse, we also annually offset emissions from its operations, including that of its tenants. As the first real estate company in Singapore to have our carbon reduction targets assessed and validated by the SBTi, we took a step further in our carbon management by joining the pioneer batch of 87 companies worldwide to pledge support to UNGC’s Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign in September 2019.5 We pledged to set climate targets across our operations, aligned with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. To raise CDL’s business resilience and readiness for potential climate-related risks, we completed the first phase of our climate change scenario planning on the 2°C and 4°C warmer scenarios in 2018. We have since expanded our study to a 1.5°C warmer scenario and included our key operations in the United States. The study provided greater insight and clarity for the Group to better prepare for the potential impact of both climaterelated physical and transition risks, such as higher carbon taxes and stricter building regulations. To adapt to the rapidly changing business landscapes and stakeholder expectations, we started conducting biennial materiality assessments with internal and external stakeholders in 2014. Similar to 2017’s findings, the 2019 study concluded that “Innovation” remains CDL’s top material issue. The second was “Energy Efficiency and Adoption of Renewables”, followed by “Climate Resilience”. Adopting Technologies and Solutions to Strengthen Climate Resilience and the Transition Towards a Low-Carbon Future Advances in low-carbon technologies present a huge opportunity to make business sense out of long-term decarbonisation. For the past two decades, we have driven innovative solutions to develop strategic low-carbon and resilient buildings. With innovation identified as our top material ESG issue since 2017, we have intensified our search and application of viable innovations and technologies to reduce our carbon footprint. Formed in 2018, the Enterprise Innovation Committee (EIC) is an inter-department and multidisciplinary establishment that scouts for latest technologies and solutions. Chaired by CDL Group Chief Strategy Officer Mr Kwek Eik Sheng, the EIC will continue to shape corporate innovation culture and implement innovative ideas that contribute to the company’s balanced triple bottom line and long-term sustainable growth. In 2019, we embarked on an exciting pilot project in partnership with the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore, combining new building and solar technologies for greater efficiency. The project integrates high-efficiency BIPV modules with PPVC, using The Tapestry, our new residential development in Singapore, as a testbed. Since 2017, CDL has formed a R&D partnership with NUS School of Design and Environment (SDE). In addition to the NUS-CDL Tropical Technologies Laboratory (T2 Lab), which has been operational since late 2018, the NUS-CDL Smart Green Home Laboratory was opened in 2019 at NUS’ SDE Building 4, Singapore’s first new-build net-zero energy building. The two labs will conduct innovative experimental studies on smart features, green building technologies and design for sustainable living. The recent Singapore Budget 2020 announcement to increase adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and phase out internal combustion engines by 2040 validates our early efforts in enabling the accessibility of EV chargers to the public. We partnered with BlueSG and Greenlots in EV sharing programmes by providing carpark lots with charging stations at our commercial properties including Republic Plaza, Central Mall and City Square Mall. In 2019, we were one of the leading landlords to partner with SP Group to provide direct current fast chargers at Republic Plaza and Tagore 23 Warehouse. Going forward, CDL will look into expanding the EV charging infrastructure for our new residential and commercial developments as well as review our existing managed properties. These efforts will help support the transformation of the local urban mobility landscape. Putting people at the heart of what we build, urban greenery and landscaping have always been key differentiators for our developments. All our new residential developments go beyond the mandatory requirement by BCA, devoting over 40% of the site area to unique landscaping and communal facilities. In 2019, we also invested $3 million in Gush – a Singapore-based start-up specialising in sustainable paints and advanced building materials – to explore new building solutions. Through the EIC, Gush was also involved in a pilot programme to testbed a mould-prevention paint at Nouvel 18, a residential development that CDL manages. Higher energy efficiency often contributes to lower operational costs. Through robust resource management and regular asset upgrading and enhancement efforts, we have been able to maintain efficient energy performance for our managed properties. Since 2004, CDL has retrofitted all our managed buildings by upgrading chiller plants, introducing motion sensors, installing energy-efficient lighting and recladding facades. From 2012 to 2019, we achieved savings of more than $28 million in energy expenses amongst eight of our commercial properties. Recognising that user behaviour is equally important in achieving energy efficiency and cost savings, we have been actively engaging and encouraging our tenants to adopt lowcarbon practices at the workplace, resulting in the continuation of 100% tenant participation in the CDL Green Lease Partnership Programme. Corporations are increasingly expected to be accountable for the environmental impact of their supply chain. Last year, we commenced a risk analytics and segmentation exercise on our supply chain, which utilises a risk-based and leverage-driven approach to identify environmental and social-sourcing risks posed by our top 100 suppliers and the products and materials they supply. With data-driven input, the findings will help CDL to prioritise our supplier engagement efforts and mitigate the environmental impact and sourcing risks of our supply chain. Propelling Change to Accelerate Climate Action Amidst the challenging macroeconomic environment, the CDL Group delivered a resilient set of results. For FY 2019, it posted revenue of $3.4 billion (FY 2018: $4.2 billion)6 and EBITDA of $1.1 billion (FY 2018: $1.2 billion). Net attributable profit after tax and non-controlling interest (PATMI) increased by 1.3% to $564.6 million (FY 2018: $557.3 million), supported by a portfolio with diversified income streams and boosted by substantial gains from the unwinding of the Group’s second Profit Participation Securities (PPS 2) structure. The Group’s total assets grew 11.5% to $23.2 billion. CDL launched a record number of six projects and sold 1,554 units including Executive Condominiums (ECs) with a total sales value of $3.3 billion in FY 2019, emerging as one of the top-selling private sector developers in Singapore. In 2019, the Group successfully privatised our London-based hotel arm, M&C, in line with our focus to enhance recurring income. The rising trend of responsible investing and sustainable finance provides significant opportunities to unlock alternative financing streams in the built sector which can be capital intensive. Leveraging CDL’s strong ESG track record has helped lower our long-term borrowing cost and expand our pool of ESG-centric investors and lenders. Based on our latest materiality assessment, sustainable finance has also emerged as a new material ESG issue for CDL, reaffirming our pioneering efforts in the issuance of a green bond in Singapore in 2017, and our continued pursuit of sustainable finance in 2019. In 2019, CDL implemented a Sustainable Finance Framework to prepare for opportunities in which sustainable financing can be used to fund projects that support our business strategy and vision. To accelerate the green building movement and low-carbon developments, CDL secured its first green loans amounting to $500 million for new developments and pioneered a first-of-its-kind $250 million SDG Innovation Loan last year. This was an expansion from our pioneer issuance of a $100 million green bond by a Singapore company in 2017. Shaping a fair, safe and inclusive workplace is fundamental to CDL’s performance and key to enhancing our human capital. In a traditionally male-dominated industry, CDL is the only Singapore real estate management and development company listed in the 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for three consecutive years since the launch of the index in 2018. In 2019, four of our properties won the HPB Healthy Workplace Ecosystem Awards. CDL’s corporate office at Republic Plaza7 also achieved the Platinum rating for the BCA-HPB Green Mark for Healthier Workplaces Award. In addition, we were named “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” by Business Media International’s human resources publication, HR Asia. Besides contributing to the development of Singapore’s built environment, CDL also actively gives back to society, providing continuous support and amplified positive impact through our various outreach programmes and partnerships. Conceptualised and developed by CDL, the Singapore Sustainability Academy (SSA) is the first ground-up initiative and zero-energy facility in Singapore dedicated to advocacy, capacity building for climate action, and the collective achievement of SDGs. Since its opening in June 2017, the SSA has served over 14,500 attendees through more than 370 outreach events and training sessions as of 31 December 2019. An extensive partnership involving six government agencies and 15 industry and NGO partners, the SSA has become a hallmark of CDL’s community engagement and is recognised as Singapore’s leading knowledge and networking hub for sustainable development. Since 2018, we have further expanded the SSA’s international outreach to include new partners – UNEP, UNDP, UNGC and the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network. As a reflection of the SSA’s strong 3P outreach and influence, the SSA has been the preferred venue by our partners’ engagement activities. The Academy, an epitome of extensive public-private-people partnership, served as an ideal platform for UNDP to hold its first Private Sector Advisory Group meeting in April 2019. We believe in the power of youths in driving positive change for a sustainable future. Our longstanding investment in youth development initiatives, such as the CDL-GCNS Young SDG Leaders Award (launched in 2011) and CDL E-Generation Challenge (launched in 2010), as well as the Youth4Climate Festival (launched in 2018) have been growing in their outreach, empowering tens of thousands of youths to galvanise awareness and action to fight climate change and achieve the SDGs. To further drive our social investment impact, we continued to host notable community outreach initiatives last year, including the high-profile “Singapore’s Greening Journey: 200 Years and Beyond” exhibition to commemorate Singapore’s Bicentennial and the Botanic Gardens’ 160th anniversary. Through a partnership with Jane Goodall Institute (Singapore) and NUS, we featured world-renowned primatologist and conservationist, Dr Jane Goodall, at the 7th Asia Environment Lecture, where her captivating stories on nature and wildlife conservation inspired an audience of over 1,700. With rising global temperatures causing the rapid melting of glaciers, we launched the “Saving Glaciers Alliance” last year to raise awareness of the importance of conserving the world’s polar regions and glaciers. The event featured motivational speaker, polar explorer and climate advocate Sir Robert Swan – the first person to walk to the North and South poles unaided. The event attracted over 120 supporters of the Alliance at the SSA, including diplomats, senior business leaders and NGO representatives. Last year, our longstanding community programmes continued to receive strong support from partners and the community. These included the 4th edition of EcoBank, which aims to promote recycling and responsible waste disposal; and SDG City Challenge 2019, a community and tenant engagement event that brought together over 2,000 people to participate in activities that promote a green, active and healthy lifestyle in Singapore. Driving Positive Change for a More Sustainable Tomorrow In the face of unprecedented climate threats, as well as uncertain global political and economic outlooks, companies with strong ESG performance have proven to be more resilient and are in a stronger position to achieve sustained growth and attract investments. CDL’s track record in effective ESG integration and sustained performance has been widely recognised by leading global sustainability benchmarks, including being the world’s top real estate company on the 2020 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World. We are also the only company in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong to score double ‘A’s in the 2019 CDP Global A List for corporate climate action and water security. In support of the national objective of greening 80% of all buildings by 2030, CDL will continue our longstanding commitment to achieve Green Mark GoldPLUS and above, two levels above the mandatory requirement, for CDL’s new and existing properties, and tap into new green building technologies. To facilitate greater ESG integration into the company’s expansion plan, CDL aims to step up our acquisition risk assessment as recommended by our climate change scenario study. As a builder of living and workspaces, we are mindful that people spend more than 90% of their time indoors on average8 . It is our goal to step up our innovative technologies and solutions to enhance the health and wellness of building users through the way we design, develop and maintain these spaces in the years ahead. Energy efficiency and the reduction of our carbon footprint will remain our top priorities. In line with our ambitious carbon reduction targets, the company has set our sights on joining the RE1009 initiative by 2021. In the next couple of years, we will aim to review our GHG reduction targets validated by SBTi, aligning our commitment towards Business Ambition for 1.5°C10. CDL is honoured to have played a key role in spearheading the establishment of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Regional Hub in Singapore last year. Being the first corporation to publish a dedicated sustainability report in Singapore using the GRI framework since 2008, we will continue to support the GRI’s mission to raise the standards of sustainability reporting and disclosure in Singapore and the region. The rapid growth of responsible investing and sustainable finance will further enhance CDL’s organisational and financial capital. Going forward, CDL will continue to explore potential growth and investment avenues through green financing and business opportunities that are aligned with sustainable development. With the completion of M&C’s privatisation in October 2019, the management is looking into enhancing the alignment between M&C’s ESG practices and CDL’s longstanding sustainability strategy. It aims to achieve greater synergy within the CDL Group, raising operational efficiency and capability to be future-ready for emerging challenges. As 3P collaboration is key to expanding the ripple effect for climate action, CDL is committed to driving the industry and the community-at-large to adopt environmentally responsible practices. Creating positive alignment with the SDGs will remain a strategic focus in CDL’s business. To conclude, I would like to thank our investors and key stakeholders for their faith and support of CDL’s longstanding commitment to ESG integration, even when climate change was not deemed as a mainstream business agenda. The management would not have achieved top world rankings in sustainability without the guidance and support of the Board, and the immense dedication of our colleagues. In recent years, the support from our customers, shareholders, business partners and supply chain has also been gaining strong traction. Building a sustainable future will require the commitment of the broader ecosystem. Through collaboration and partnership, we can accelerate changing the climate and changing the future.

According to the China experts in New Delhi the arrest of so-called 21 Indian diamond merchants on charges of smuggling under China's anti-smuggling laws in Shenzhen on January 8 needs to be handled carefully by the establishment and even the media. Srikanth Kondapalli, associate professor, Centre for East Asian Studies, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, told rediff.com, "The arrests of Indian merchants should be treated as a law and order issue. Any country would apply their local legislation when found necessary." Indian ambassador to Beijing S Jaishankar told rediff.com, "I am satisfied that we have got the consular access to the arrested Indians. We have found that they have been treated well. Now our priority is to get them proper legal representation." A senior diplomat based in New Delhi told rediff.com that, "the law has to take its own course and there should be caution before media judges the issue. It is wrong to say that China took 'revenge' or India 'retaliated' or vice-versa. Such headlines have serious consequences to the people directly affected." While the officer belonging to the external affairs ministry said that the seriousness of the case will be determined only when charges are framed against the arrested merchants and till that time one should not pre-judge the issue. According to a diamond merchant based in Mumbai, the local authorities will determine the charges within 35 days of the arrests. Already two Indian consulate officers have met all the arrested Indians. Ambassador Jaishankar directed first secretary of the embassy to fly to Shenzhen from Beijing to meet them. The officers were allowed to meet each of the arrested persons separately for 20 minutes. It took a long time in jail that looks like a hotel building to take the statement of arrested Indian merchants. The MEA officers have taken from them in writing that they have been treated well and are given vegetarian food because more than 10 merchants take only Jain food without onions, garlic and potatoes. All of them told the Indian officers that they have been treated well by police and there is no complaint of harassment of any sort. Meanwhile, the diamond industry in Surat and Mumbai had been taken by surprise. They had no clue that the Chinese authorities were keeping them under surveillance. In Mumbai, it's also now understood that the investigations against the diamond merchants was underway since long. A popular Chinese website has put up a video allegedly of the operation by the Chinese customs department. In the video, a courier of alleged smuggled diamonds is shown getting down at station, walking across the streets of Shenzhen and delivering diamonds to an Indian merchant in a hotel. However, big diamond traders in Mumbai argue that the Chinese government had invited them to their country with lots of promises. They helped develop the diamond trade there in big way in a short time. They say the arrests should not come in the way of the huge potential of the diamond trade within China. Amongst 21 arrested persons are employers of big firms in Surat and Mumbai. One of the jailed merchants belongs to the firm of the former president of the diamond merchants association in Mumbai. The Shenzhen arrests are being taken seriously in Mumbai and industry bosses have understood the consequences of the legal case in China. Lack of knowledge of the Chinese legal system is their biggest obstacle today, said a merchant in Surat. Two days after the arrests of diamond merchants, three Chinese engineers, employed by the Shandong Electric Power Construction Corporation, were arrested in Korba in Chhattisgarh in connection with the chimney collapse at a BALCO plant last September in which 40 people were killed. The China's foreign ministry has pledged on Thursday, 'to ensure the rights' of Chinese engineers. Spokeswoman Jiang Yu said the Chinese foreign ministry and the Chinese embassy to India would actively assist SEPCO in dealing with the prosecution and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the three engineers. Meanwhile, the Gujarat police arrested a Chinese engineer in Kutch on Wednesday. He was employed at a site of the mega power project. He was arrested for allegedly smuggling Chinese-made liquor in Gujarat in violation of the state policy of prohibition The Indian establishment clearly says that none of these arrests are linked. A MEA officer said that, "I emphasise that these legal cases should not be linked. The case in Korba is few months old. The engineers were in hospital and the arrests were delayed." Kondapalli also says, "I do not see any diplomatic fall-out of these arrests. As I said the case is an issue of law and order. It's not a political issue."

Pickin’ & Trimmin’ is a documentary short film from 2008 profiling “The Barbershop” in Drexel, North Carolina, where Lawrence Anthony and David Shirley have barbered for decades, and where bluegrass musicians have jammed in the back room every weekend. Directed by Matt Morris, the award-winning film showcases the people and atmosphere of a small community in rural America, perhaps better than anything you’ve seen before. And the music played in the back room is simply wonderful. Update: Lawrence Anthony, the head barber portrayed in this film, passed away in 2009. His son continues to run The Barbershop, but severe water damage has left the shop in need of repair. Here is a video showing the current situation. By profession, Matthias Rascher teaches English and History at a High School in northern Bavaria, Germany. In his free time he scours the web for good links and posts the best finds on Twitter.

What should I do next? Before you make a care decision, look into it a little more and ask advice where you can. These resources should be able to help you: Your will is a legal document that ensures your money, property and possessions go where you want them to after your death. There are several services that can help you write your will in Torbay. Making a will ensures your property, money and possessions go where you want them to, and can even help ensure your recipients don’t pay more Inheritance Tax than they need to. If you die without a will, the law will decide who gets what. You can write your will yourself, but you should always seek advice as it can be a complex process. To make it legally valid, your document will need to be formally witnessed and signed. If you want to update your will, you need to make an official alteration (called a ‘codicil’) or make a new will. Your will should set out several things, including: You should always seek legal advice when writing a will, especially if it’s not straightforward, for example: Many people choose to keep their will at home, but you can also store it with: You can find out more about storing your will by reading information from the Probate Service. Tell your executor (the person who’s going to carry out your will) where the will is. Your will is only legally valid if you: If you make any changes to your will, you must follow the same signing and witnessing process. You cannot leave your witnesses (or their married partners) anything in your will. Review your will every five years and after any major change in your life (separation, divorce, marriage, having children, moving house). You should also update your will if the executor named in the will dies. To adjust a will after it’s been signed and witnessed, you need to make an official alteration called a codicil. This codicil must be witnessed in the same way as a will. There are no limits on how many codicils you can add to a will. However, for major changes you should make a new will. This should explain that it revokes (officially cancels) all previous wills and codicils. You should destroy your old will by burning it or tearing it up.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Information The Modern Day Search Engine The first task most netizens do when they log on to the internet is to visit their favorite search engine to find information on various topics. Over the past few years the search engine has evolved to do more than list available websites on an entered subject. The modern day search engine has tools to help the user accomplish a vast array of everyday task. Selecting The Title Of Your Link Exchanges I want to touch base with selecting the title of the links that are added to other sites. Adding your link on another site is very important for your search engine saturation and rankings. Search Engine Marketing: Are You Accidentally Hiding From Potential Customers? You may be hiding if the search engines can?t ?see? all of your site?s relevant content. Press Releases Can Increase Search Engine Positioning When you write a press release, what is your ultimate goal? No doubt, getting the information to as many publications and on as many Web sites as possible. The focus lies in moving outward? taking the press release to as many *other* sources as possible. We buy lists of journalists, pay public relations companies to distribute the release to thousands of targeted leads, use online press release distribution services, and create our own in-house list of reporters to touch base with. This is Internet 2005: The Ten Billions Pages Search Engines To see each and every page during 10 seconds would take 694 days 24/24. The leading search engines fight to be the first that oversteps this level. In the meantime the key word "sex" has been typed about 20'000'000 times on the entire web and Google found 333'000'000 results for this query in January 2005. Getting Your Site Seen By Search Engines Is your website listed on search engines? When people search for you, does your site show up on page 1 or page 20 of the search engine results? Optimizing For Visitors Not Search Engines Most people feel that optimizing is to target the search engines alone. In my opinion, this is not the only case. Optimization requires a balance of traffic enhancements and a user friendly atmosphere that provides clear navigation. Most will agree it would be much better to have people accept offerings from a Site, rather than masses of people who do nothing. Here are some general tips and thought to make pages user-friendly. Diary of a Google Gazumpee Back in November, when the Google Dance began, Barry Lloyd of makemetop.co.uk wrote an article entitled "Been Gazumped by Google?" GAZUMPED! What a wonderfully descriptive term. In fact, it succinctly describes what happened to us when our website went from #1 to oblivion a few months ago. Search Engine Updates vs. SEO Webmasters always anxiously wait for a search engine update. Those who rank well want to see their sites get even better. Those who didn't do well expect a major boost. Those whose sites get de-indexed anticipate a major comeback. Those who just started new sites bet on their sites will make into the first page of search engine result pages (SERPs) for their targeting keywords. Of course, not everyone will be happy about the results of search engine updates. After all, search engine traffic is a zero-sum game - someone loses and someone gains. Then, the webmasters start preparing for next update. Pay-per-click ? the Ultimate Tool to Boost Affiliate Sales The old ways are not always the best ways.

If you have already built a website there are two things you need to do. First is ON PAGE optimizing and the second is OFF Page optimizing. On page is basically getting your meta tags and description tags similar to the pages that you have built. One key thing to remember is try to use tags with the keywords in your content. For example: if you have keywords like "SEO consultant" in you content you should bold it and put alt tags around it.

This is why the first thing any SEO expert does - before researching keywords or rewriting your copy - is look at your web site code. Beat Google?s Dampening Link Filter with SEO Articles Most Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts agree that links back to your site have a great impact on your ranking in the major search engines.

What is Libra? It is a cryptocurrency launched by Facebook in early 2020. Libra has become the hottest topic in the crypto universe in the summer of 2019 after its white paper was released. Is Libra going to hurt Bitcoin or is it going to be shut down by governments? Keep reading – we’ll have Libra explained for you. This is the ultimate Libra beginner’s guide! What is Facebook Libra? It’s a stablecoin Let’s put Libra first to the correct category in the world of crypto. To simplify things, we can divide cryptocurrencies to a three main categories: currencies, platforms and tokens. Platform category can be also called an ecosystem or operating system for decentralized apps. The most famous members include EOS, Ethereum and TRON. They offer a framework for software developers to create dApps. Tokens are typically built for a very specific purpose. The most common type is a utility token, which means that the token has utility inside a certain application. Typical examples are Basic Attention Token and Pundi X. T Facebook Libra belongs to the first category, so it’s designed to be used as a digital currency. It’s not a direct competitor for Bitcoin, though. Libra can be placed in a subcategory called stablecoins. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies backed by fiat currencies, gold or other assets. The idea is to replace fiat currencies in the digital world and provide a stable value. See Facebook’s presentation of Libra: Libra is designed to be a digital currency used inside Facebook and other apps the company owns (such as WhatsApp). It’s very likely that Libra can be also used in partner sites like eBay, Uber and Coinbase. There is more in Libra than just the currency part. Libra is indeed a stablecoin, but Facebook launches an open source ecosystem around it. This allows software developers to build apps, which use Libra as the native token. Who controls Libra and how does it work technically? Let’s have a closer look. Libra explained : a revolution in payment systems Our cryptocurrency reviews being typically by going through the development team’s background, ICO process and so on. The Libra story is a bit different. Libra is an outcome of a longer development process, which Bitcoin started over ten years ago. We are talking about the disruption of digital payment networks, which has accelerated in the past years. Youngsters of the internet generation are very much used to doing everything online with a mobile device. Digital payments in mobile games are part of the daily routines. Most of the active internet users want to pay with their mobile device in real-time when they buy and sell things in a Facebook group, for example. Each country has its own payment applications, which are usually launched by local banks. Then we have global operators like Skrill, PayPal, Western Union and Moneygram. Bitcoin has disrupted this field significantly by bringing a payment system, which requires no third-party trust. Operators mentioned above are known to have high fees, which can be up to seven per cent from a single transaction. This money is often taken from the poorest people on earth. We are talking about tens of billions of dollars in fees of remittance services. Even if the current systems are functioning well, the problem is the lack of integration. We can see similar issues with streaming services. You have Netflix, HBO, C More and a large number of other local operators with sports clubs and other entities. Each charging their own fees. Facebook’s Libra has made so much noise because the company has an exceptional market share globally. Even if Facebook is not very popular among millennials, it has about 2,4 billion users worldwide. This is the reason why banks and other payment providers aren’t happy to see Libra entering the market. Facebook can adopt get their currency and payment network to 2+ billion users very fast. It took less than 5 hours for European governments and central banks to start screaming about how Facebook’s cryptocurrency “can’t and must not” work 😂😂https://t.co/iSGV1UFjHZ — Pomp 🌪 (@APompliano) June 18, 2019 Libra is still a work in progress. The TestNet has been launched and the year 2019 will be used for extensive tests with partners. Libra is expected to be launched in the spring of 2020. That is, if Libra is not banned by governments. Facebook won’t control Libra alone Libra explained shortly: a new cryptocurrency by Facebook? In fact, it’s a much larger project. There is a Libra Association, which has been founded recently in Switzerland. Facebook wants 100 partners to this association, eventually even more than that. At the time of Libra’s white paper release (June 2019), there were 28 members. The most known ones are VISA, Mastercard, Uber, eBay, Vodafone, Spotify and Coinbase. There are no banks involved, which isn’t surprising. Each Libra Association member has one vote for governing issues. Facebook’s vote carries no more strength. It’s not exactly easy to become a member of Libra Association if you are thinking about that right now. An applicant must fill at least two of the following three criteria: - More than $1 billion USD in market value or more than $500 million USD customer balances - Reach more than 20 million people a year, multinationally. - Be recognized as an established top-100 industry leader by a third-party association. Examples would include the Fortune 500 and the S&P Global 1200. You can read more about Libra Association from this article. Each Libra Association member brings also 10 million dollars to the pot, which is used to back the Libra currency. When 100 partners are involved, the total backing grows to one billion dollars. The idea is to launch one billion Libra coins with a face value of 1$ each. In practice, the backing is not just a pile of US dollars. It is the total value of all assets the association holds. Each member has an incentive to be involved because the Libra Association can invest the funds to bonds or other interest-paying instruments. Proceeds will fall to association members. Libra Association members have also one other crucial role: each will run a validating node in the Libra network. This way they’ll also get access to all the transaction data. The Swiss foundation is the one holding all the transaction data, user accounts and so on. This way it’s not in Facebook’s possession. Libra blockchain is run by Proof of Stake consensus Libra is a cryptocurrency run on a blockchain. There is a lot of debate right now about this fact, meaning if Libra should be called a cryptocurrency. This is because it’s not permissionless, it’s not decentralized, and it doesn’t have any other properties of Bitcoin either. We can call Libra anything we want, but it is part of the crypto universe for sure. It’ll be traded for other cryptocurrencies, which should be obvious when looking at Coinbase’s involvement. Libra is technically a platform like EOS or TRON. Just like other 3rd generation platforms, Libra’s consensus is also based on Proof of Stake method. It means there are no physical miners like the Bitcoin network has. The network validators are the Libra Association members, which we mentioned already. According to Libra white paper, the network should reach 1000 TPS (Transactions Per Second) capacity. This can be increased in the future with 2nd layer solutions like Bitcoin is doing now with the Lightning Network. Libra’s PoS consensus mechanism is called LibraBFT, which means it’s based on a traditional Byzantine Fault Tolerance algorithm. Libra’s developers have used existing components and then made some changes. ”LibraBFT belongs to the class of classical BFT consensus algorithms. It is based on another consensus algorithm called HotStuff, which in turn borrows some of its consensus logic from yet another classical BFT algorithm called Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance, pBFT LibraBFT improves upon HotStuff with a detailed specification and implementation of the Pacemaker mechanism. It also comes with a liveness analysis that consists of concrete bounds to transaction commitment.” (Source) LibraBFT looks very much like the consensus algorithm used by Binance chain and Cosmos. You can read more of the technical part from this article. The picture below shows the difference between JP Morgan’s coin and Libra coin. It can be found from Binance Research article, which I recommend to read. As mentioned earlier, Libra is much more than just a stablecoin. Libra blockchain is open source, which means software developers can create their own dApps using the Libra framework. Libra TestNet has been launched already. Apps can be programmed with a new language called Move. It’s based on a programming language called Rust, which has a syntax similar to C++. Libra cryptocurrency and LIT token Libra has created more discussion than any other cryptocurrency in years. Every single person has an opinion about it, and not just members of the crypto industry. This is such an important project, that it already scared the central banks just hours after it was launched. The US Senate has also called a hearing regarding Libra. Libra is a stablecoin backed by a basket of currencies and other investment instruments. It is not a competitor for Bitcoin as an investment, because the value of Libra will always stay in one dollar. It can and will be a competitor for many cryptocurrencies and payment networks, though. Is Libra a competing with Ripple too? Here is what Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse has to say about that. — Bloomberg TV (@BloombergTV) June 17, 2019 Libra’s planned launch takes place in early 2020. That is if Facebook doesn’t get into legal troubles with governments before that. If they get Libra out, it can reach over 2 billion people very fast. But, how are you going to get Libra? Facebook is going to launch a wallet called Calibra, which is similar to PayPal and cryptocurrency wallets. Users will go through a KYC process and they can buy Libra for example with a credit card. Possibly (or probably) with other cryptos as well. Calibra is developed by a Calibra company. Its task is to develop services and applications around Libra network. Facebook can speed up the adoption significantly with the help of its partners. Spotify, Uber or PayPal could offer discounts for people using Libra. It’s very likely going to be traded in Coinbase as well. Let’s go through one more important thing as well, before wrapping up the article. There is also another token called LIT – Libra Investment Token. This is governance token used to govern the network. The value of LIT will be totally separate from Libra. LIT is only offered to Libra Association members and accredited investors. All profits coming from the assets backing Libra coins will be channelled to LIT owners. There can be also hedge funds and other organizations holding LIT, who haven’t made the 10 million USD investment (like Libra Association members). Libra Beginner’s Guide – final words Libra has electrified the crypto scene after its publication. Even non-crypto people are interested in it and everyone seems to have an opinion – for or against. It is obvious that Libra is more than just a cryptocurrency. We can only guess how big this milestone will eventually be. Time will tell. It’s likely, that Facebook won’t be the last global giant to launch their own cryptocurrency. Google and Amazon might follow suit. Facebook will be also under heavy criticism and pressure from governments and the banking industry. There are lots of people who want to stop this project in its tracks. It’s possible, and even likely, that Libra will be banned in many countries. We should remember that Facebook has also many aces up in its sleeve. It’s interesting to see the debate between Facebook and its opponents. How dirty a fight it will be? Many people see Libra as one of the biggest steppingstones in terms of adoption. It has also given Bitcoin price a boost after its launch. To me, it’s obvious that Libra is needed to speed up the cryptocurrency adoption. If people start to use Libra, they start to use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well. There are many critics, who don’t see the value of Facebook’s creation. Here is a tweet storm by Aleksi Grym, who represents the bank of Finland. 1/ Reading through Libra materials. First reaction: looks like just another altcoin. The language in the whitepaper is embarrassingly familiar and overused. It seems blind to the fact that no one wants to use crypto for payments. Launching yet another coin doesn't change that. — Aleksi Grym (@aleksigrym) June 18, 2019 Time will tell, who is right in this matter. In any case, Libra won’t be a competitor for Bitcoin as an investment. It could replace the likes of Tether or some of the other coins in payment use. This is where it could be an alternative to Bitcoin as well. But one should remember, that the market is full of payment methods and currencies right now. Libra is not going to take the market by itself. There will be always room for alternatives too. This article was published at 24th of June, just a week after Libra’s white paper launch. It will be updated in the future when more information is revealed. Check also the following video for another Libra beginner’s guide.

Cancer accounts for 10% of all pediatric deaths. Surgically treated cancers, neuroblastoma, the Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and hepatoblastoma, collectively account for about 20% of all pediatric cancers. Children typically tolerate chemotherapy better than adults. Pediatric cancer therapy is associated with several long-term morbidities, including neurologic deficits, cardiac illness, and the development of secondary malignancies. Neuroblastoma may be treated with surgery alone; surgery plus chemotherapy (carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and etoposide), or surgery, chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, isotretinoin, and a monoclonal GD2 antibody depending on the stage. Most patients with the Wilms tumor receive vincristine and dactinomycin with additional agents and radiation added for higher-risk tumors. Vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide, along with radiation for local control, represent the mainstays of therapy for pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma. The majority of hepatoblastomas are treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (consisting of combinations of cisplatin, doxorubicin, vincristine, and 5-fluorouracil) to allow for surgical resection and cure. Survival of pediatric malignancies has improved dramatically over the past half-century due to advances in the safety and efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents and radiation therapy. Additionally, although strategies to limit toxicity have likewise been developed, cancer therapy during childhood can be associated with lifelong morbidity. Chemotherapy and radiation serve as adjuncts to surgery in the treatment of neuroblastoma, the Wilms tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and hepatoblastoma; optimization of these regimens is the subject of ongoing clinical trials. A basic understanding of these topics is essential for all providers who care for the child with cancer. Epidemiology and Survival Statistics for Pediatric Cancers The incidence of cancer in children is relatively low, 133 cases per million children under age 15 years, compared with that of adults, 4620 cases per million, in the United States. The incidence bimodal, with an incidence rate of 200 cases per million in children age 2 years or younger, and a second peak during adolescence. Before age 2 years, central nervous system (CNS) malignancies, neuroblastoma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the Wilms tumor, and retinoblastoma account for the majority of diagnoses, while Hodgkin lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and the Ewing sarcoma become more prevalent during adolescence. Overall, the most common cancers in children under 15 years are acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, 24.5% of cases), CNS tumors (20.2%), neuroblastoma (7.5%), and the Wilms tumor (6.1%) (Table 87-1). In contrast to adult tumors, less than 10% of pediatric cancers are epithelial in origin.

Crystal Harris was at her Virginia poorhouse one winter afternoon when she received a 911 call. As an unpaid volunteer of the Smith River Rescue Platoon in Woolwine, a small town located in northern Patrick County, Harris prerequisite to drop what she was doing and head to the nearest ambulance station, a sightsee that normally takes about 10 minutes. “Then you desire respond to the house, which could take anywhere around 15 smarts,” Harris, the captain for advanced life support on the squad, told CNBC. If certain, the rescue team would then take the patient to the nearest health centre, about 45 minutes to one hour east in Martinsville. Harris could acquire taken the patient to the much closer 25-bed Pioneer Community Polyclinic of Patrick in Stuart, where she had been an employee before she retired. But the clinic filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed last year, committing more than 100 people without a job and the roughly 19,000 residents in the circumambient community without a nearby emergency health facility. Harris, 72, now lavishes most of her days responding to 911 calls. She said there are five other let go free squads in the Patrick County area addressing the unmet need in their community of predicament medical services, a broader trend in the U.S. The Virginia Association of Volunteer Set free Squads, a nonprofit organization in Roanoke for rescue squads statewide, has 18,000 pledged members, according to its website, and is dedicated to providing pre-hospital care. The reproves of rural hospital closures are the highest seen in the last few decades, according to the North Carolina Sylvan Health Research Program, a group which tracks rural facility closures throughout the United States. There has been a total of 83 health centre closures from January 2010 to January 2018 in rural precincts across the United States, the NC RHRP’s data showed. Hospital closures ordinarily hit rural communities hard economically, Mark Holmes, director of the North Carolina Country Health Research and Policy Analysis Center, told CNBC. They also eliminate a void of emergency medical services, causing residents to travel now 10 to 25 miles further to meet their critical health-care requirements, he said. When Pioneer Community Hospital announced that it was end last September after financial struggles, some residents had to junket as much as three to four hours to receive their health-care dearths, Debbie Foley, director of economic development for Patrick County, distinguished CNBC. Foley said the hospital’s parent company, Mississippi-based Innovator Health Services, had “financially mismanaged them” and the hospital eventually had to submit for bankruptcy protection in 2016. The Stuart hospital “was profitable prior to the cost put down from the corporate unvarying,” Foley said. (Lackey Memorial Hospital, which acquired Launch Health Services, did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. The health centre in Stuart was not included in the deal.) Harris, of Woolwine, said the impact of the Innovator Community Hospital closure was devastating on her community. “I got a phone call at almost 1 o’clock that told me the hospital had closed and then after that I started sock texts from other people” who had also lost their careers, she recalled. Foley said the hospital closure has also impacted the community economically. “In demand to bring in businesses, health care is important,” Foley said. Note Holmes at NC RHRP told CNBC that the reasons for hospital closures alter for every community. But one factor can include social demographics: Rural residents are often older, sicker and poorer than urban populations, he said. Other causes include decreased demand for inpatient services, consolidation in the health-care lay out, and a state’s decision of whether to expand Medicaid, said Holmes, also a condition policy and management professor at the University of North Carolina. Hospital closures be dressed been ticking up since the Great Recession, the research group said, but pull someones leg slowed slightly in the last few years. “Our working hypothesis is that it is the trouble of low-hanging fruit that has gone rotten,” George Pink, the NC RHRP’s alternate director, told CNBC. “The hospitals that were weak must finally succumbed and now we’re moving in an area of hospitals that were put down the receiver on for longer.” Closures can also impact communities in ways besides economics and fitness. Like sports teams can often function as a source of pride for greater metropolitan areas, “hospitals can serve a similar role for rural burghs,” Holmes said. “We have a certain self-value because we have a polyclinic in town.” Harris of Woolwine recalled that the closure of her community’s infirmary was also disappointing because the people in the town had donated money to it once again several years. “It was a good hospital. They took care of you,” she hinted. Now Harris, who is on the town’s board of supervisors, is working with the mortgage associates who foreclosed on the hospital to get it reopened. “It is a health issue and we need this clinic bad,” Harris said.

Page 143 - God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands ; neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things...

**** I took the kids to the pool today and always feel a little pervy about appreciating the sheer aesthetic beauty of the twenty-something lifeguards. The men, anyway (the girls are lovely too, I'm sure). Tan skin, sunbleached hair, and the muscle definition of men who have the luxury of time to work out every day. They may not be doing it for me, but I appreciate it anyway. **** I finished the book, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (who also wrote chidrens plays, the most popular being 101 Dalmations). The book is set up to read like a 17 year-old girl's journal entries... I suppose what I can relate it to best would be something like Pride and Prejudice, set in the 1930's. It was very, very good. I'm going to read it again, probably. And I'm sorry for mocking it a couple of entries back. It deserves no mocking at all. **** The sheer selfishness and self-involvement of people never fail to astound me. Some people move blithely through life, never aware at all of the people around them, of situations unfolding right next to them. It takes quite a bit of self-control on my part to not march right up to them, give them a sound slap and shake them into social consiousness. Be aware of people around you. Be cognizant of the fact that others exist, and that perhaps you should think about how others feel before acting. Or speaking. Open your eyes. Stop 'navel-gazing' as my mother always put it. She's wise. I really should've written down some of the things she said to me while I was growing up. Now I've forgotten most of them. **** I continue to get lovely reviews for my story in the dgficexchange. That certainly makes me smile. I can't wait til the big reveal; I'm almost positive I know who wrote what this year. That either means I read WAY too much fan fiction or that.... yeah, I read too much fan fiction. Ah, well. There are worse things. **** Italian Rosemary & Herb Lays potato chips are the finest snack food on the planet. *nods*

Hemp essential oil isn’t super popular, likely because it’s expensive and time-consuming to produce. It is made by steam distilling the upper leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. Like hemp seed oil, it does not contain cannabinoids like CBD. Instead, the intensely earthy oil is prized primarily for its smell. Some perfumers are starting to layer hemp essential oil into blends with other fragrant favorites like lavender and frankincense, and home aromatherapy buffs can now buy the oil too (though it tends to be on the pricier side). Like many essential oils, hemp essential oil should not be consumed orally and should be diluted in a carrier oil before topical application. Adding a few drops to your diffuser and reveling in the resulting scent, though, is fair game.

Update: SpaceX and NASA successfully completed their historic launch. Despite rain showers that have been moving through the area, NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken are at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida preparing for a historic mission to the International Space Station, located 250 miles above Earth. The crew is a “go” for launch at time of writing with less than 50 minutes until takeoff with weather conditions improving. The astronauts are aboard Crew Dragon, a spacecraft developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. This is the first-ever crewed mission in the California-based company’s 18-year history and the first such mission for a private vehicle. If successful, it will also mark the first flight to space from American soil since 2011. This is the second attempt since Crew Dragon failed to launch on Wednesday due to bad weather. Takeoff is now scheduled for 3:22 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Flashback Friday: A Plea to Pastors on Easter Weekend Every Friday I dig into the archives and dust off an old post. If you haven’t read it, it’s new to you! Pastors: they’re coming. Easter weekend is one of the two largest church attendance weekends in any calendar year. People attend church with Grandma. Irreligious people come because it’s still the socially acceptable thing to do in some parts of the country. Folks who are normally sporadic in attendance wouldn’t think of skipping church on Easter. And pastors…well, we pastors don’t generally know what to do with the new-found fullness of our auditoriums. So we freak out. We nervously resort to humor or snarkiness or futile attempts at bridging the gap. We say things like, “We want to extend a welcome to the poinsettia and lily crowd!” or “Thanks for coming. We’ll see you again at Christmas.” (No seriously, I’ve heard both of these things said by a real pastor to a real congregation.) And while we think it’s cute, or funny, or disarming, it’s really anything but.

With Tasty, BuzzFeed has a multi-revenue stream model BuzzFeed launched Tasty as an experiment in figuring out how to crack Facebook video in July 2015. Today, that experiment has become one of BuzzFeed’s most successful franchises, expanding beyond hands-in-pans videos and into licensed products, a creators program and both long-form and short-form videos and productions. Today, Tasty has more than 100 million followers on Facebook and has sold 800,000 copies of its first three cookbooks. A fourth was published just last month. BuzzFeed declined to disclose exact revenue numbers but a spokesperson said BuzzFeed, overall, has been profitable for the back half of 2019, “and Tasty continues to be a key driver of that growth with a strong advertising business and a wide range of consumer products through its fast-growing licensing business.” In 2018, BuzzFeed reported revenues of a little more than $300 million and earlier this year, BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti said in an internal memo that a third of those revenues came from entirely new revenue sources, in line with Peretti’s “Nine Boxes” multi-revenue model for BuzzFeed. In that same memo, Peretti noted that most of Tasty’s revenue derives from revenue streams “we’ve needed to create on our own.” “What Tasty really did was reveal the ways people ingest cooking content,” said Hannah Williams, Tasty’s executive producer. Williams noted that the addition of six new members to the Tasty Talent Program, part of BuzzFeed’s larger Creators Program, represents “a huge expansion of Tasty.” There are now a total of 14 Tasty Creators. “We’re adding faces behind the hands, showcasing internal talent and integrating into the real-life cooking world with chefs and leaning into the entertainment aspects of food,” Williams said. “We know the role Tasty serves in our viewers’ kitchens. What can we do outside of kitchens and not neglect what works and what people come to us for?” The new Tasty Creators, three of whom are Tasty producers and three of whom are fixtures in the dining world, were recruited with diversity and audience engagement in mind to develop what Williams described as “identity-driven content.” Ellen Bennett, one of Tasty’s newest creators, has her own line of culinary workwear, called Hedley & Bennett. “We love having creators with those very specific identities and creators who are super successful in their own line of work,” Williams said. “That was a huge draw for us, that she has this brand she’s built and established and seen some success.” Williams said Tasty will be doing even more original series and shows in 2020, based off of the reception newer shows like Chef Out of Water; I Draw, You Cook; and Making It Big have received. Licensing is also very central to BuzzFeed’s revenue efforts, and Tasty is at the center of that strategy. This year, BuzzFeed anticipates generating $260 million in sales of BuzzFeed-branded products in retail, which is double what the company reportedly made in 2018, according to License Global, a trade publication that covers the licensing industry. Today, you can buy Tasty-branded cookware at Walmart, as well as Tasty-branded food products from your local grocery store, including collaborations with Nestle and McCormick on lines of ice cream and spices, respectively. The kitchenware at Walmart launched with 90 SKUs in March 2018 and has sold more than 5 million units to date. “Licensing is mostly done by established brands who have been in the market for a long time, but BuzzFeed sped that process up. They understood they have a strong fan base, and they wanted to differentiate themselves,” said Steven Ekstract, brand director of Global Licensing Group, which publishes trade publication License Global. Those licensing partnerships are also extending into Tasty’s content production, too. Tasty is also getting into interactive video programming with Walmart backed Eko, and has developed choose-your-own-adventure styles recipe-based videos that promote products that can be purchased at Walmart. Williams said Tasty plans to make more Eko videos in 2020. Tasty’s brand collaborations that include media, custom content, shopper marketing, which launched in March 2018 with Scotch-Brite, creator deals and events are also driving revenues. It even did a hot-dog themed wedding with Oscar Meyer. “They’re building tremendous brand equity and loyalty,” Ekstract said. “I wish more digitally native brands would wake up to this. They are a case study for successful brand extensions for a digitally native brand.” If there’s one thing BuzzFeed can learn from Tasty’s success, it’s how to apply this multi-revenue model to its other brands like Nifty for home and Goodful for health and wellness, something Peretti noted back in 2017, and something the company must focus on to remain profitable. Editor’s Note: This article was updated to reflect that BuzzFeed has been profitable for the back half of 2019 and that more than 5 million, not 4 million, units of Tasty-branded products have been sold at Wal-Mart.

It was a low point. I was not proud of myself. My sister-in-law looked me in the eyes and very clear breathed deeply to elicit a deep breath from me as well. “Please don’t,” was my honest, though tactless response. At that point, all my senses were on high alert. She was right. I needed to breathe, but it felt patronizing to be told so. Jesus knows I needed to breathe. My inability to receive help, though understandable, has hurt a number of well intentioned people. When I am in an irrational state of mind, appealing to the logical course of action doesn’t always work. So, to help lessen the pain I cause, I try to plan before the panic. I’ve given my friends a keyword to tell me when they see me start to spiral. And if I fight it, they can remind me that I gave them permission to tell me that. Also, it’s helpful to practice breathing deeply when I am feeling just fine. This develops helps me 1) lessen the intensity and frequency of panic and 2) aid me in the middle of it. Instead of practicing breathing for mental health, it’s been easier for me to do breathing exercising for other reasons – like singing or playing harmonica. It feels more productive, enjoyable, and even healing. Right now, I am going through vocal lesson videos online through WorshipU, which has a mobile app as well. It’s been a long time since I have played the harmonica, but maybe I’ll get back into that sometime in the future. One thing at a time. 🙂 As much as I pursue prevention, when I am in the middle of it and not thinking clearly, I usually just need to leave. I need to exit the situation and pray. He never condemns me when I do. The Prince of Peace revives my lungs and floods my soul with secure hope and love. Jesus, help me remember to breathe deep.

Not SVN. Stress is just doing a fail. It was Live Sync, I believe they call it Live Mesh now, but they were using a file share setup for version control. We are on SVN because I refused to put up with that nonsense any longer, now I can go back and unfuck anything someone fucks up. You have a log with file comparison and full reversion control. You can step back through the changes made, testing for when a new bug was introduced, find out who the nutbar is that deleted key files and restore them, etc. Now that the horribly confused loser has checked out of the thread, I'm open to RATIONAL input from people that can form cohesive thoughts and converse in a more objective fashion. "Armada gets me wet, and these Borg aren't the same" does not cut the mustard. That's the only thing I was picking up from the guy beyond an inability to proofread. Assimilation has been altered many, many times, the current state is brand spanking new as of the first Rebellion release and a product of player input. People said they assimilated too much and ended up with fleets of assimilated ships, so I put additional countermeasures into the system, including a temporary assimilation design that works in Diplomacy. If the rates are still high, I need examples. Given sufficient negative feedback by people providing reasoned objections within the design parameter for the Borg(supposed to be OP as shit and take on the rest of them map), I will revisit the designs and spend another week or two modifying and testing out what is now a horribly complicated set of variables. This is what Im hearing, WE DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU SAY, Darksxx, you're an immature brat that spent the last three pages whining about nonsensical personal preferences that, in essence, boil down to what you don't like about Trek. You are indeed correct, I don't give a fuck. Just in case you come back.

About a year ago, I posted a roleplaying game based on my story, Lover of Jet & Gold about the Namedealers of the setting: those who speak the secret Language of Names to all the phenomena of the demon-haunted world in which they live. For the most part, they’re the “sorcerers” of the Sword & Sorcery setting. This game, now called The Bloody-Handed Name of Bronze, is now available to subscribers to the xenoglyph Patreon and is for sale in the xenoglyph store! You might want to read Drash, before you play, too! Namedealers are like Mosheh, Thetis, and Merlin. But they’re also not all that far from Bugs Bunny and Cugel, all of whose power comes from their ability to perceive and tell truths, but whose weakness in overestimating their importance to rather more direct individuals at the wrong moment. In a recent game, the inestimable Quinn Murphy equated his namedealer to Wile E. Coyote, fleeing the consequence of each overreach by putting himself in a slightly more desperate debt. It was, and I quote a player at PAX East 2015 here, “The most fun I’ve ever had being eaten by a crocodile.”*

Jacobo, Joelle, Liat and myself headed down (East? North?) to Orlando last weekend to visit old pal Mickey and some of the others. While it’s tough to travel in a group in which only 75% of the people are potty trained, it was a lot of fun. Of all the Disney characters, Pocahontas and Cinderella were the hottest – although I suspect Pluto felt a lot hotter inside that costume. Cute photos of the many adventures can be seen in The MKX® Photo Central.

The PEN Pod: On Campus Free Speech and Devalued Black Lives with Eddie Cole Eddie Cole is an associate professor of higher education and organizational change at the University of California, Los Angeles. His new book, The Campus Color Line, focuses on the history of the role that college presidents played during the fight for racial equity from 1948 to 1968. Cole joined us on The PEN Pod, in conversation with Jonathan Friedman, program director for campus free speech at PEN America, to discuss college presidents’ central role in shaping racial policies in America, the contradictions in university administrators’ speeches and actions regarding Black communities, and how historical books can provide insight into the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement. Listen below for our full conversation (our interview with Eddie is up until the 18:31 mark). I thought I’d start just by asking you to tell us a little bit about the book. What’s important to know about the role of college presidents in the ’50s and ’60s? That’s a great opening. Ultimately, the book is a history of the Black freedom movement as seen through the actions of college presidents. It’s important to know that the book is national in scope—what I call a national cohort of college presidents—so that gives a variety of institutional types within the book. We’re talking about our traditional, predominantly white institutions, the segregated, all-white institutions in the South, but also historically Black colleges. You’ve got your private and public institutions that range from coast to coast. In the process of this book and understanding the role of college presidents, I went from the Northeast across the Midwest out here to the West Coast, and then through the South. Ultimately, what I’ve found while creating the book is that college presidents were critical actors in shaping racial policies and practices in America. So, academic leaders in the ’50s and ’60s took on an incredible amount of importance in postwar America as elected officials—both on the state level and federal level—as well as business leaders started to lean heavily on college presidents to help them address the nation’s racial problems; as, globally, the United States started having issues trying to push this message of democracy, when it had the blatant hypocrisy of racial segregation. Is there a lot of difference across the types of institutions? Yeah, absolutely. In the book, you have a chance to engage with Ivy League campuses, the major Midwest—the big universities across the Midwest—you get out to the West Coast. What’s really interesting—myself at UCLA, at the time that I’m studying at UCLA—it wasn’t nearly the university that it is today. That gives a nice bit of flavor, too. When you think about the Black freedom movement and academic leadership, at the time UCLA has less than 200 students who reside on campus. It’s largely a commuter campus, with aspirations of building out into a campus more similar to how Berkeley was at the time. So, it is pretty interesting when you get this flavor of regional colleges, large universities, private, and public. One of the things that I’m most proud about in the book is that, regardless of your engagement with higher education, if you even somewhat loosely follow higher education, you will find an institution that you’re familiar with and perhaps have an experience with. It’s not just the usual major players featured in the book. “Think of the California system—there’s a University of California system, there’s a California State University system, and then there’s a two-year community college system. What kind of barriers are in place around who gets into what system? There’s this social hierarchy that still exists today around these different university systems. We know this, but my book really gets into how they came to be. That’s just a few of the ways that my book adds to this narrative that shows that, yes, there is this expansion of opportunity and diversity in higher education, but also there are a lot of failed attempts along the way that we haven’t quite lived up to.” There’s this standard narrative of how higher education expands and how opportunity becomes more diverse in the second half of the 20th century. I’d be curious to know what your book adds to that narrative. The book builds upon or intervenes with, obviously, tons of previous historians’ work. I’m thinking about James Anderson’s Education of Blacks in the South that follows Black education opportunities post-slavery, through Reconstruction, and into the early 1900s. Vanessa Siddle Walker, a historian at Emory University, has done a phenomenal body of work around Black educational leaders. Also, histories that have focused more on contemporary timeframes of the higher education level—I’m thinking of Stefan Bradley, who was at Loyola Marymount out here in Los Angeles County, and who has done phenomenal work—Harlem vs. Columbia is one of his first books, but also Upending the Ivory Tower; Ibram X. Kendi—they’ve all done these phenomenal higher-education histories that I’ve engaged with. Ultimately, what my book adds to that narrative is it gets into the administrative standpoint of what’s going on in higher education history. So, what I always like to tell people is that we’ve all got some familiarity with the 1960s and the 1950s, and student protests, and student activism. Oftentimes, in all of these histories, college presidents make a cameo, as I like to say. They make an appearance, and it’s usually framed 100 percent as how did the administration, how did college presidents respond to student activism, which is a very important take—it’s a very important perspective to have when writing from the perspective of student activists. But I flip the perspective around, if you will, and look at administrators, and not only at how they responded to student activism—I move beyond the point of responses—but also at how they were actually rather proactive in shaping so many different aspects of American life that we don’t typically think about. For instance, in the book I talk about urban renewal in the process of housing discrimination in major cities across the United States—that comes out of the University of Chicago administrative leaders rallying other college presidents together to actually lobby before the Congress for federal funding that went behind the urban renewal programs. We just don’t typically think about individual presidents being the point people in how that unfolded. We know universities disbanded and displaced numerous Black communities throughout America, but just how did they do it? Also, thinking about college presidents and their role in expanding higher education, there’s a caveat with that expansion. Think of the California system—there’s a University of California system, there’s a California State University system, and then there’s a two-year community college system. What kind of barriers are in place around who gets into what system? There’s this social hierarchy that still exists today around these different university systems. We know this, but my book really gets into how they came to be. That’s just a few of the ways that my book adds to this narrative that shows that, yes, there is this expansion of opportunity and diversity in higher education, but also there are a lot of failed attempts along the way that we haven’t quite lived up to. Oftentimes, the narrative portrays this error. I was going to ask you about that. Thinking about some of the issues in the book that are still issues today, one of the most prominent ones that we’ve seen is the question of free speech on college campuses. It’s interesting to think of how that was an issue in the ’50s and ’60s, the student activists that you’re talking about in the book, and the Black freedom movement. In your head, what’s changed since the conflicts of 50 to 60 years ago? How are they different now? In many ways, they have and they haven’t changed. Ultimately, I’d say things are the same in the sense that college presidents now are still grappling with how to deal with, say, the traditional white supremacists that disrupt the speech on campus, the potential violence in the public critique of that, and all the things that come with that—even just the pure expense of security. We can see that in headlines today. Also, in a lot of ways, what I noticed in studying college presidents is that what has changed most often—this is probably such a unique takeaway, because I look at free speech before the free speech movement of 1964—what I see in the book, among administrative leadership, is that oftentimes in the ’50s and ’60s, a university president could actually step out on their personal beliefs, in the sense of pushing for free speech but also taking a hard-line stance on how things should change around a speech opportunity. “Ultimately, I’d say things are the same in the sense that college presidents now are still grappling with how to deal with, say, the traditional white supremacists that disrupt the speech on campus, the potential violence in the public critique of that, and all the things that come with that—even just the pure expense of security.” Just a little snippet in the book: Some of the segregationist governors in the South really grew in popularity and had their very own speaking tours outside of the South. They were going from Harvard to Yale to Princeton—you name a university, they often showed up. In one particular instance, a college president in the book, I worked through this narrative around how this president used racists coming to campus to speak as an opportunity to actually put behind the university’s talking points some actual actions that supported how the university stood for racial equality. One of the interesting things in the narrative is the president actually goes before the trustees and makes the statement that he was unable to separate his personal beliefs from his role as president. And this is unfolding with Robert Goheen at Princeton University, who is just a fascinating figure on his own, much less in the context of other presidents. So, when you think about that opportunity, you don’t see that as much today. I often wondered, as I was pulling the book together, how much the contemporary setting of college presidents being so politically connected on such a high level made them strategic and less likely to stand out on their personal beliefs. You see these very canned responses oftentimes from academic leaders today. So, I wonder about the differences between what the position has evolved into compared to what it was in the ’50s and ’60s, most often with someone who was much more closely connected to their previous role as a faculty member. Now you have people who’ve been in administration so long, so many decades before, and it’s quite fascinating. You recently wrote in The Washington Post that playing football this year would “continue to devalue Black lives.” I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit about the history of how you see this issue in higher education. Are there college leaders today that you think are addressing the calls for racial equity and justice adequately? This push for major college football right now is directly connected to what I’ve seen throughout history, in the sense that you see administrative leaders who see a particular moment, and they contradict themselves. What I mean by that is—post the recent police state-sanctioned killings of, say, George Floyd in Minneapolis, or Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky—you saw numerous academic leaders release statements about the value of Black lives on their campuses, and how they stand with citizens and students who are up in arms about these most recent, high-profile killings of unarmed Black people. What you see is, you get that statement on one hand, but then this global pandemic that we are in has a well-documented, disproportionate impact on Black communities in particular. You see student athletes, such as football where the vast majority of these athletes—we’re talking about 50, 60, 70 percent on some teams—are Black. What does it mean to ask those particular students to come back and participate in a sport that grosses billions of dollars, but they’re unpaid outside of the traditional student athlete stipend? They have to come to campus and run the risk of not only contracting it themselves—even though there’s an argument about how lethal it is for people in that age range—but also, what does it mean for those students to want to go see their family on their weekend off? Or be around friends who may have preexisting conditions, or maybe are more high-risk? Ultimately, what I was arguing is that there’s this historical arc, if you will, where our college presidents have used these particular social moments—we saw it in the 1960s—to coop language similar to what the movement was using, but also still contradicted themselves in behavior, and continued to take actions that would devalue Black lives. I discuss it in my book, and particularly as we think about affirmative action, and what that initially was planned to look like. The initial affirmative action programs in higher education were focused on Black colleges, not predominantly on a selected number of white institutions around college admissions. So, it is really interesting that in the book I show how colleges came together at that moment and made it very much about their campuses, and we see it right now, again, with major football. I see this moment where, again, the campuses are put before the actual Black lives. “What I mean by that is—post the recent police state-sanctioned killings of, say, George Floyd in Minneapolis, or Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky—you saw numerous academic leaders release statements about the value of Black lives on their campuses, and how they stand with citizens and students who are up in arms about these most recent, high-profile killings of unarmed Black people. What you see is, you get that statement on one hand, but then this global pandemic that we are in has a well-documented, disproportionate impact on Black communities in particular.” What are you reading right now? That is a great question. I never thought I’d become one of those people who are rotating between three books. I’ve got Adom Getachew, a professor at the University of Chicago—her book Worldmaking After Empire is ultimately about imperialism, and it follows the decolonization of Africa. I’ve just been fascinated by the book, and just trying to conceptualize this particular global moment that we’re in, and trying to understand. We have a lot of activists using language around decolonizing the curriculum, but I was also just trying to see it from a national perspective. That book is quite a fascinating piece of work, and it’s definitely worth checking out. And then two other books I have on my shelf—one by Carl Suddler, a historian at Emory University, called Presumed Criminal and published by New York University Press. It’s a quite interesting look at Black youth and policing in New York City after World War II. If you want to understand this current moment that we’re in right now—any calls for defunding the police or abolishing police—that’s a great book with a historical perspective. It’s so spot on, and scarily, eerily similar. It is connected to today. The final book, revisiting a classic, W. E. B. Du Bois’s Black Reconstruction in America. Again, as we think about right now, as people are making calls to have this sort of racial reckoning on a national scale, Du Bois’s work is just so insightful for understanding how these opportunities—how these moments of social reconstruction—have come before, and how he just tears it apart. It’s just a genius book that is worth revisiting, particularly in this moment as we think about how history has been used strategically in the past, and what it means to do historical work, like I myself do, and think about history in a truth-seeking manner. What does it really mean for us as we try to work toward the present?

Yesterday was my 56th birthday, and I received so many birthday wishes I felt truly grateful and blessed. It was a great day. In fact, it was so great that, even though I had decided I was going to work, I ended up only putting a half day of work in. For the rest of the day, I focused on other things… but in the back of my mind, I still had that little voice saying “shouldas” at me. “You shoulda worked.” “You shoulda written more.” “You shoulda cleaned house.” (Really? On my birthday?) Seriously, that voice is the biggest bitch I know. She can tell me off and make me feel bad like nobody else can. One of my perpetual goals is to work to keep her silenced, so that I am truly present and joyful for whatever is occurring in my life at any given time. After stuffing a gag in her shouty mouth yesterday I had a blast. I didn’t accomplish much beyond eating within all of my macros on My Fitness Pal. I’ve lost 23 lbs so far this year (I’ve hesitated to shout about it, because I’m superstitiously worried about jinxing myself)–and the weight loss is one of the best birthday presents I received yesterday. Here’s to more weight loss, more joy, and more writing. Brief, not-detailed update: my secret proposal has now been sent off to a select location in New York. Wish it luck! Whether it ends up being traditionally published, or if I decide to self-publish, I just know that the readers who follow my work will enjoy it and something amazing is going to happen. I’ll share news whenever I have any. Have a great week, and don’t let any of your “shouldas” weigh you down.

January 7, 2012 / The Church & Postmodern Culture This Christmas season I had the privilege of attending a memorial service, a vigil in … May 23, 2014 I used to be quite interested in contemporary Christian apologetics (and by “contemporary” I mean something like “modernist”). That is, until I realized that the foundationalism necessary to undergird the enterprise actually tends to undermine the Christian faith it intends to uphold. For example, in the ongoing arguments between evolution and creationism (including the other middle options of theistic evolution and intelligent design), the authority of the Christian faith and especially the scriptures which are its fount are put to the test within the independent court of reason and science and checked to see if they can stand up within the secular realm of “facts,” or if the Christian narrative ought simply to be relegated, as it has often been, to the realm of value. By submitting to the court of secular reason, fulfilling the sensed obligation to “prove” the Christian faith via the means common to secular rationality—in a laudable but misguided effort to speak on “public” terms—Christians unwittingly deny the authority of their own narrative and its fount, the Scriptures, by working to prove its truthfulness by the rules of someone else’s game. This sort of move is common within contemporary apologetics. Contemporary apologists, in their captivity to culture, feel obligated to argue this way. In fact, they seem to suggest that arguing otherwise is to do something unchristian. Arguing in this manner is just supposed to be the obvious method. In another move common to contemporary apologetics, it seems that a new article has been added to the Creed quite recently, just within the last century or so. To be a Christian these days seems to require belief in Absolute or Objective Truth. It has become something of a Fourth Article—Creator, Redeemer, Holy Spirit, Absolute Truth. Enthusiastic religious zeal for Absolute or Objective Truth is now standard for being a Christian. Both of these situations are bad. Here’s why. Like I noted above, Christians have submitted to the rules of someone else’s game. This amounts to cultural captivity and unfaithfulness to our own authentic story and way of life. In an effort to speak (and legitimate themselves) publicly, Christians have taken up the language of secular discourse. Christianity is submitted to the secular courts to see if it holds up reasonably. But the secular courts have no place for theology. The authorities there are science and reason. Secular rationality is the first word, and perhaps theology can have something to say later, but only if it measures up. Rational arguments in the secular realm follow a certain logic. You might have heard the argument rehearsed, one which is common in contemporary Christian apologetics, that the statement “all truth is relative” is logically false. The statement commits the self-referential fallacy—that is, as an argument, it cannot hold up to its own internal logic. Thus, it is argued, if the statement is indeed logically false, then it logically follows that truth most certainly exists. And such truth is taken to have an objective existence, since it has been proven to exist via logic and is not merely asserted. Christians then take advantage of this to argue that Christianity is the truth over and against any and all other options (like other religions, or none). The point for Christians is that so much of the argument rests here—truth exists first. Once this is established, then we go on to make a claim regarding exactly what that truth is. Truth in this sense amounts to nothing more than a mere idea. It becomes part of a series of words in a sentence, a referent everyone apparently “knows” as if it were just obvious to everyone who is good and well intentioned and can follow the clear logic of the rationality that produced the argument. Truth obviously exists, seemingly transcendentally. Whether truth is so obvious is debatable, but plenty of others have had something to say about that, so I won’t address it here. The next move for Christians tends to be, after starting with this philosophical position, to smuggle some theology in through the backdoor. Christianity is claimed to be the truth. God himself turns out to be the objective or absolute guarantor of such truth because he is made equivalent with truth itself (more on this below). And since God is obviously the God of the Bible, Christianity tells the truthful story of reality. It’s the same tired old Platonizing move that we have witnessed over and over again in the history of Christianity. Like the unmoved mover who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent, the God of the Bible happens to be defined exactly the same way. Or rather, whoever the God of Philosophy ends up being, the subsequent claim made by Christians is that the God of the Bible is exactly the God of Philosophy. In fact, it is argued, that God of the Bible HAS to be the God the philosophers came up with. Why? Because this God is the best, constituted by the greatest possible qualities. Throw in a little niceness and goodness—that latter also being a Platonic quality—and we’ve pretty much got the God of the Bible, or so Christians argue…many of them anyway. Few would disagree in the present (except it seems, in academia), but within the Christian tradition, we would find someone like Luther among those vehemently protesting this picture. Next in the process, is to turn to John 14:6 where Jesus, God in the flesh, refers to himself as the “way, the truth, and the life.” Here Christians are simply building on the now necessary presupposition that truth exists. Since Jesus used the word “truth” here, Christians make the illegitimate jump that Jesus is the Absolute or Objective Truth, and further, it is argued that in fact he was talking about exactly what we are talking about. That is, when he said “truth” he must have clearly been making reference to our late modern concerns about Absolute or Objective truth and shoring up the foundations of our faith against the threats of secular society and other religions. So we’ve gone from the logical position that truth exists to the indubitable fact that Jesus = Objective/Absolute Truth (another reason to say that God = Absolute/Objective truth, because Jesus is indeed God [no need for the distinction between Father and Son]). In this all too common move performed regularly by many contemporary Christians who desire to secure the legitimacy of Christianity in the public sphere, especially many apologists, Jesus’s identity is undone. He is no longer a person who can make a claim on us, no longer someone to whom we can relate, no longer someone in whom we place our faith and trust. Rather Jesus has become an idea. Jesus is the truth. Jesus is truth. That’s not quite like saying God is love. The Bible says that, so we’re called to figure out what that means by looking to the Scriptures to tell us about love as a revelation of God’s being. But that Jesus is truth is already predefined for contemporary Christians. Apologists have already told us that Jesus is the truth in the sense of the concept of Absolute truth; he is the equivalent of the idea. What exactly that means is unclear. However it is that a person can be an idea, even if that person is somehow “special” like Jesus, we seem to suffering the loss of something significant, namely personhood. I cannot relate to ideas in a personal manner. They make no claim on me. I can think about and ponder and talk about ideas. I can write about them. I can even say that ideas have consequences in the sense that they have logical conclusions. Ideas in this sense become objects which are interesting to me, something I can study or about which I can debate. I can even have ideas about persons. Furthermore, and to speak negatively for a moment, I cannot say I believe ideas. That would be like saying I have a belief. At best, to the extent that beliefs are often expressed as propositions or ideas, beliefs have me. I’m captive to them in a certain way. My beliefs, whether they are constituted by good ideas or not, grasp me. I came to “have” them in the same way I come to have cold or a headache (this is Stanley Fish’s argument—and he’s borrowing from another philosopher). That is to say, I’m captive to them, made subject by them, and my identity is constituted according to them. But beliefs might be about ideas, and they might also be about persons. Belief in Jesus is not belief in an idea. It’s trust in a person (even if the basis of that belief about the person Jesus is something like “He is trustworthy”). This is the way the Scriptures speak. “Lord I believe, please help my unbelief” (Mark 9.24). That prayer is not directed toward an idea, but a person. And it’s not about an idea, it’s about a person. In fact, it embodies belief and trust through performing an action. What benefit do we receive if we treat Jesus as an idea? I’m not sure contemporary apologists have asked this question. That’s probably because they don’t know that they often reduce Jesus to an idea. What’s an idea going to do for me? What promises can it make? Jesus on the other hand, as a person, has done much for me and he’s also made me significant promises. And he continues to do so. And he comes along regularly through his word and makes claims on me. He speaks to me in preaching, confronts me, challenges me, comforts me, and transforms me, making me new through his word which kills and makes alive again, raising a new creature and fighting the battle with the old Adam. Jesus the idea, well, he might seem like a good idea. After all, who doesn’t like Jesus? But Jesus the idea is reduced to a disembodied, culturally captive, and ultimately limp concept that does nothing for us except help us think we can play with the big boys, hack it in the wider culture, demand attention and speak publicly because we’ve measured up the hegemonic discourse of the public sphere. “Jesus is the truth; listen to us,” we say, or you’ll go to hell. To other Christians we say you’re not really a follower of Jesus until you treat him like an idea, until you subscribe to the new Creed with the additional Article, all the while taking away the opportunity to actually follow someone. Jesus is a bad idea. That’s because he’s not an idea at all. He’s a person, who came in the flesh for me and you and lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit now and forever. He’s Lord, not an idea. For some helpful resources, those who want to dig deeper might be interested in: Richard J.

Learn the differences between equity options and options on futures contracts, and how experienced options traders can use futures options to enhance their trading. If you’ve read any options-related content on The Ticker Tape, or perhaps watched our media affiliate, the TD Ameritrade Network, you’ve likely noticed that a lot of strategy examples feature equity options—options on stocks and stock indexes. However, many opportunities lie beyond the world of stocks and stock options, such as options on futures contracts. In fact, appropriately approved accounts at TD Ameritrade can trade options on a wide array of futures products on the thinkorswim® platform—everything from grains like corn, soybeans, and wheat, to foreign currencies like euros, pounds, and yen, to Treasury products such as bonds, notes, and eurodollars, to energy products like crude oil and natural gas, as well as precious metals. Stock indexes like the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Nasdaq 100 have their own futures contracts, too, and options are listed on those contracts as well. Stock options and options on futures can be thought of as cousins—a lot of shared DNA, but with some subtle differences thrown in. So if you’re an equity options trader looking to add new trading alternatives or exposure to different asset classes, read on and decide if options on futures might be right for you. The following, like all of our strategy discussions, is strictly for educational purposes only. It is not, and should not be considered, individualized advice or a recommendation. Futures and futures options trading is speculative and is not suitable for all investors. With standard U.S. equity options, when you exercise or are assigned on a contract, the deliverable is 100 shares of stock. So if you exercise a call option, for example, you’re exercising your right to buy 100 shares of the stock at the strike price, on or before the expiration date. But futures, in contrast, are contracts for future delivery of the underlying commodity, financial product, etc. So when you exercise or are assigned an option, you’re taking either a long or short position in the underlying futures contract. Each futures product has its own delivery and settlement cycle, and a list of option series that expire into each futures contract. For example, many financial futures, such as 10-year T-Note futures (/TY), are on the quarterly futures delivery cycle (March, June, September, December). But each quarterly futures contract also has monthly, and usually weekly, option expirations, so it’s important to know which futures contract an option is based upon. July and August options, for example, will expire into the September future. Crude oil, however, has a futures delivery each month. If you’re a TD Ameritrade client and you need a cheat sheet, refer to the calendar on the thinkorswim platform by going to MarketWatch > Calendar > and check the Futures Liquidation box (see figure 1). Also, futures and options exchanges list information on delivery and expiration dates, contract specifications, margin and performance bond requirements, and more on their websites. Again, standard equity option contracts represent 100 shares of the underlying stock. The multiplier is 100, so each penny the price of an equity option goes up or down will change the value of the contract by $1. For example, if you sold a call option for $1.50, and you bought it back for $3, you would have lost $150, plus transaction costs. If the option expired out of the money (OTM), you would have made $150, minus transaction costs. Futures contracts—and thus the minimum price fluctuation (“tick") of futures and options prices—come in different sizes. Corn (/ZC) and soybean (/ZS) contracts, for example, are quoted in dollars and cents per bushel, and the contract size is 5,000 bushels. A quarter-cent, the minimum price fluctuation (“tick size"), would be (5,000 x $0.0025) = $12.50. Crude oil (/CL), quoted in dollars and cents per barrel, has a contract size of 1,000 barrels, so a one-cent tick would be $10. Before you trade, know the contract specs. If you’re an experienced equity options trader, you likely understand skew. In general, the implied volatility (IV) for an OTM put is higher than the IV of an OTM call, stemming from the perception that stocks fall faster than they rise, or that there’s a greater likelihood of “panic" to the downside than the upside. In trader parlance, we would say the stock market can “take the stairs up but the elevator down." It’s the same basic premise behind the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), which is known as the “fear gauge," as it tends to rise as the market falls and vice versa. But options on futures can behave, and thus be priced, quite differently. Options of foodstuffs, like grains, oilseeds, livestock, and such, might have a natural upside skew, with OTM calls having a higher IV than OTM puts. Which makes sense, right? Food scarcity can lead to frenzied buying. Other contracts, such as some foreign currencies, have no “natural" skew, and skew can vary depending on market conditions, expectations, and the supply and demand of upside versus downside options. The same basic math applies to both equity options and options on futures. Option prices are calculated using the same basic inputs—price of the underlying, days until expiration, prevailing interest rates, implied volatility—and the expiration payout graphs look the same. And the risk assessments and sensitivities—those “greeks" such as delta, gamma, theta and vega—are the same. Differences aside, options on futures can be another way for experienced traders to pursue their objectives, in a similar fashion as equities. for thinkMoney ® Financial Communications Society 2016 for Ticker Tape Content Marketing Awards 2016 Content intended for educational/informational purposes only.

You say you want a revolution Well, you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it’s evolution Well, you know We all want to change the world Lyrics by John Lennon How apropos since it is nearly Independence Day, since we are celebrating our own version of revolution. America is such a divided country. People have been saying that for a long time. To me, it seems more evident today, than ever in my history. I will say one thing, people are not afraid to say what is in their hearts, from loving sentiments to dark and hateful. The Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, who recently issued an order to wear masks in public, shared a text message he received that suggested he should swing from a tree, and some other, vile comments including one using the n word. I see a variety of things posted, some from people hiding anonymously, while others are proudly sharing their ignorance in pictures and videos. I’ve had my own run-ins with “friends” who model less than tolerant behavior. The term “freedom and liberty” is frequently twisted and misused, to put your rights over someone else. I believe that America is poised for major change. Actually, it is already happening. We may be divided, but there are enough people wanting change to begin moving the needle. People who say All Lives Matter, are technically correct. All lives deserve respect and should all be afforded justice and not be treated with prejudice. Unfortunately, four hundred years of racism has tipped the scales. While every life is important, people of color have to more to fear, less opportunity and a system that still pushes them back, instead of equality at the starting line. I am not afraid to walk in my almost entire white neighborhood, a person of color likely is. It’s funny, and sad, that if you participate in a protest, you are deemed by many as unpatriotic, a Marxist and Communist, and deserving of being pepper-sprayed and arrested – for standing on a public sidewalk and exercising your First Amendment rights. Not everyone at a protest is violent or disrespectful to police, ignores orders, loots or burns police cars. Many want to show support and be heard. Then go home. People like drawing lines, it makes life simpler. If only life was simple; it is not. Unfortunately, it seems to come down to this: The line is drawn that you either support the police or you do not. That you are either a patriotic American or a bomb-throwing anarchist. You are against kneeling or you hate the flag and American soldiers. Either or, and nothing in between. That is how the dividing line is drawn. And that is the problem. Let’s get the police issue out of the way, it seems to be the more inflammatory of the many divisive issues. Yes, kneeling is divisive, but recently, the most divisive issue seems to be the police. This blog is not about bashing the police; but the police and what they represent has been a longstanding issue, but most recently since Ferguson, Missouri. Across the country, you are hearing pleas to reduce or completely de-fund the police. Other pleas are to shift some resources from policing to social services. Legislative bodies control funding, it is a primary policy function of elected officials. Can we actually reduce police services to communities? That’s questionable. What is more likely is the enhancement of mental health and social service resources to solve issues not currently handled well by police. Even many police would agree, that other resources and services are needed. Jails are not mental hospitals and police officers are not social workers. A large number of calls for service are not for armed response or making arrests. Look at any law enforcement call log, it is settle complaints, make reports or refer to other services. Let me be clear. I am not in favor of de-funding the police. I have worked in local government for over 30 years, I understand the policing function. What I am against is the militarization of police, and I believe that most law enforcement agencies need more transparency. I read comments by many, who believe the police are under attack, and pushback against any public criticism. Police departments are not going to be de-funded. There may be some tough encounters between policymakers and police representatives over some difficult issues, but that is how government works. The fraternal order of police in many jurisdictions are perfectly capable of representing officer interests. We should welcome discussion about review boards and committees to address racial profiling and other issues. Good police officers do not like bad cops, and the actions of a few, taint everyone wearing a badge and upholding the honor of the profession. Law enforcement is an honorable profession. Back to the issue of protest. I have written about the origin of our country and our struggle to break away from England. Protest is in our blood, and unfortunately, blood is spilled protesting unfair labor and working conditions, equal rights, civil rights, housing, and even former soldiers fighting for their benefits. Protest is not owned by any particular group, religion, economic class, race, gender or age. Protest, or rebelling, is not the same as lawlessness or anarchy. There are those who cross the line to violence or property destruction. The First Amendment does not cover that, any more than a police officer beating a protester simply because they are holding a sign. We are all accountable for our actions. Rioting is not okay. Brutality is not okay. Okay? In America, politicians and those with an ax to grind, love for issues to be reduced to a sound bite, bumper sticker or a hat. Problems are not solved with a slogan, it takes dialogue and patience. Many of us believe the issues dividing us are complex, but solvable. The tenor you hear from many groups, the cry for revolutionary changes, reflect how fed-up and angry they feel. The cries for major change is not just coming from “radicals” it is also coming from middle class white people, key stakeholders in communities, voters and people with resources to back organizations with a voice. Change is coming. The social tectonic plates have moved, but change does not have to be a revolution. A revolution does not need to be conducted with guns or violence, it can be tsunami of ideas, of timely purpose and commitment. It can simply be needed evolution, and take the form of peaceful change. I may not win many friends with my views. That’s okay, I still approved this message.

NASA Released Footage Of Hurricane Matthew From The ISS And It’s Really Terrifying! The Hurricane Matthew has spent the weekend spreading carnage over the Atlantic just South of Jamaica and Haiti. NASA released footage of Matthew which was captured from the International Space Station and it shows us the intensity of the Category 4 storm. This category is of very catastrophic winds that have wind speeds exceeding 131mph and less than 155mph. On late Monday night Matthew headed north towards Haiti with wind speeds reaching 140mph and ‘life threatening’ rain. Till now only one person has been killed by the storm. The Category 4 storm Matthew could head towards the US The footage from NASA (given below) has been sped up 4 times just to give you a better perspective. It was captured using cameras outside the International Space Station on Monday morning. The footage shows the complete orbital complex of the storm and just by looking at it; it is very frightening to see that the huge white cloud is all part of Hurricane Matthew. The problem is that with strong winds Matthew will also bring around 40inches of rain to Haiti. This could trigger: "life threatening flash floods and mudslides", according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Jeff Masters, a weather underground meteorologist, told Maddie Stone at Gizmodo that the country that will be affected the most will be “undoubtedly Haiti” "The risk is Haiti is also greater due to poverty - you’ve got 50,000 people who have been living outdoors [since the 2010 earthquake]," he explained to Stone. By mid next week the hurricane is expected to change direction and head north towards the Bahamas. After which it will potentially hit the east coast of the United States. "Right now, the greatest risk is for North Carolina, but that could change," said Masters. "The only thing we’re sure of as far as the US goes is that we’ll see a lot of pounding waves hitting the entire east coast." Storm preparations have already started in the Caribbean. At last week’s end Matthew reached Category 5 which would have made it the strongest Atlantic storm since Hurricane Felix in the year 2007. But the storm has calmed down a bit and moved into Category 4 since then. Let’s hope it keeps on doing that so that the after effects aren’t really chaotic. We would like everyone reading this to stay safe and inform every one if the storm does approach a place near you.

Landlords Are Re-Leasing Sluggish Department Store Spaces At Four Times The Rent Mall owners are making the best out of a bad situation. The seismic shift in consumer preferences has rocked the retail industry to its core, resulting in more than 36M SF of department store space that will be vacated this year. But department stores’ loss is mall owners’ gain. Landlords are profiting off the closures by bringing in entertainment, fast-fashion, and food and beverage tenants to fill the space — and they are getting quadruple the rental income. In addition to finding more experiential (and thus more appealing) tenants to take the place of department stores like Sears, Kmart and Macy’s — which will close a collective 300-plus stores by the end of the year — mall owners are charging replacement tenants three to four times the amount of rent they were receiving from department stores, according to a recent JLL report. “The way it works when developers build a center is department store anchors are a must-have,” JLL director of retail research James Cook said, adding that these anchors tend to pay cheaper rents because they are in such short supply. “Rent is low compared to what a new retailer will pay.” Such is the case for Seritage Growth Properties. The REIT, which owns 266 properties formerly held by Sears Holdings, is monetizing vacant boxes by redeveloping and re-leasing the spaces to new tenants. On average the REIT is receiving 4.4 times the previous rental rate from these new occupiers. Where Sears Holdings was paying $4.40/SF, in-place third-party tenants are paying $12.74/SF and soon-to-occupy tenants will be paying an average of $18.55/SF, JLL reports. As of March, 57% of Seritage’s portfolio was leased by apparel, restaurant and entertainment tenants. Retail trust PREIT had three Sears in its mall portfolio close, and has leased all of the vacated space, close to 400K SF. CEO Joe Coradino said the tenants that are moving in, like the Dick's Sporting Goods and Field & Stream that replaced the Sears in Capital City Mall in Pennsylvania, will pay more in rent and drive more interest than Sears. General Growth Properties is also unlocking value in locations vacated by department stores. In 46 of the REIT's 127 properties, about one-quarter of the vacancies (23%) were replaced with food and dining tenants, 18% became department stores and 14% were entertainment venues. “We’re seeing a shift in consumer tastes. The things that department stores have traditionally sold people, now the new generation, especially Millennials, are more interested in buying those things at discounters like Ross or TJ Maxx,” Cook said.

“Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time for us as well, that God may open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; in order that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak. Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity.” (Col 2:2-5) Paul’s words here strike me as especially relevant today after being briefly detained and denied entry into the UK this past Friday. I feel called to invite others too into Paul’s posture—especially after seeing how a dear Mexican friend, Evaristo faces deportation over legal details (see below). Paul writes as someone who has done serious jail time for crossing boundaries for the sake of the Gospel. He shows true humility, calling for devotion to prayer, alertness and thanksgiving “that God may open up to us door for the word,” This past month Gracie and I have traveled freely through the Euro zone, responding to invitations to teach and minister in Stockholm, Riga (Latvia) and Tallin (Estonia). We assumed there would be no problem leaving France for the UK last Friday. We have done this fairly often, though not always without difficulties. We were heading over to celebrate Anna’s 17th birthday with friends, and I was scheduled to preach and lead a Kingdom Theology Taster Day in London on Sunday. Now we are reminded that doors that open to us (and others) are fragile and need to be approached even more prayerfully. We have an adversary who seeks to thwart our movements—refusing us entry or even casting us out. Getting on the Eurostar train from Paris to London involved first going through French immigration in the Gar du Nord train station in Paris, where National Police officers stamped our passports as we officially left France. Then on to the UK border, where a Caucasian UK Border Agency official chatted amiably with us, looking like she was going to let us in. Suddenly, though, a wary look came over her face, and she started asking questions about our legal status in France. Since every time you re-enter France from outside the Euro zone you are permitted three months as a tourist, our family has coordinated our trips to comply with this law. Many people who are here less than a year do this without problems. The eager official cited some technical illegalities about what we were doing, took our passports to the French police, and returned to tell us that the French would not guarantee us re-entry on Sunday night, so consequently she would not admit us but was turning us over to them. She couldn’t tell us what they would do with us. So there we waited where the officials had left us for three hours, beside long lines of passengers who were successfully going through British immigration in this in between countries zone where our future felt suddenly really uncertain. I was texting friends in the UK and France about our dilemma, asking for prayer, when I received an encouraging text from Gilles Boucomont, our pastor friend here in Paris. “As a French citizen and in the name of Jesus I welcome you onto this territory.” Just then another UK Border official, an Afro-Caribbean woman who herself migrated to the UK took over the process, escorting us into a room to be fingerprinted. She was amazingly friendly and surprisingly critical of what was happening. She even let us take pictures of the process before turning us over to the French “Police Nationale”. The French official, looking very serious said: “So, we have a problem.” We told him that we thought we were in compliance with the law, and that we had been leaving the country every three months since we arrived last August. He searched our passports and found all the stamps that showed we’d left France and re-entered as stated. He said: “OK, no problem,” showing us that based on our last stamp we still had 9 days before three months was over (affirming what we’d been doing). We had an interesting conversation about immigration politics, where he expressed his grave concern about France being overrun by immigrants. “Look, Monsieur Obama has expelled 400,000 illegal immigrants this past year— and we only 3,000!” He corrected me when I used the word “deporté”, which for the French refers to French Jews and others being sent off to their death in German concentration camps during WWII. “Expulsé” is the word he said, which didn’t sound any nicer. Finally he gave us back our passports, telling us to get extensions at the Prefecture for the rest of our stay, and had another officer usher us back into official France. Yesterday at the Prefecture I learned that the only way to get an extension, is to leave the country as we were trying to Friday. Fortunately, I leave midweek for nearly three weeks in Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand, and Gracie joins me next week in Sydney. I am reminded of what a gift it is to be welcomed across borders, into new lands and communities for the work of Jesus’ Kingdom. I am also grateful that we can experience even to this small degree what it feels like to be strangers and aliens, risking deportation– since for so many years we have worked with illegal immigrants. I’m also reminded of how critical it is that we have people praying for us so barriers are removed, doors will open and ministry can go forward. We appreciate your intercession. On another front back in Burlington, WA on this same day, May 11, I learn that a young Mexican man we have been advocating for is facing deportation. I include my colleague Chris Hoke’s update on him below and ask for your prayers. “Evaristo Solano is one of the most hopeful stories we at Tierra Nueva have encountered in our ministry with both undocumented migrants from Oaxaca, Mexico, and with Chicano gang members. Five years ago, after losing his big toe in a firearm accident with delinquent youth, Evaristo lost his high school wrestling opportunity. He began to drink, heavily, like his father. When in despair he robbed a corner market for a case of beer, Evaristo landed in jail with a theft felony charge. Just before being handed over for deportation, he came into relationship with us as jail chaplains, and things began to change. He came to renewed faith, received healing in his leg and foot, and we connected him with an immigration attorney. Through the last five years, Evaristo has seen miracle after miracle: getting immigration bail dropped to just about nothing, getting back into university as a minority student with a scholarship, moving into our ministry community building, getting married to his wife Alicia, having a son Alex, beating one immigration court after another even when our lawyer said he was done for, and all the while coming into relationship with God as the Father he never had. Through these massive changes, a wide community of support has come around Evaristo and his family. Professors, church members, pastors, parenting class teachers, artists, counselors, tattoo removal clinics, former enemies, and more. In the last year, he has become an example of hope for many other young men trying to imagine leaving the gang life and becoming the kinds of fathers they want to be. He was about to get his green card, as a resident in the U.S., this month. Then, possibly due to current anti-immigrant sentiment and political pressure in the country, the immigration officials surprisingly rejected his overwhelmingly positive application for status. Now he could be deported and separated from his wife and son permanently. Please help us pray in these three ways regarding Evaristo’s case: 1. By blessing the county prosecutor, Erik Pedersen, who has the power to go back and vacate (forgive) Evaristo’s felony five years ago, when he stole the beer from the corner store. Even the store owner has reconciled with Evaristo and is on his side–but the prosecutor is not moved. Yet. 2. By praying for more of the Holy Spirit–the defense Counselor–to push with us in our appeal case this month. It will take legal savvy, lots of paperwork, and God providing the funds from among his people to cover many of the legal fees ahead. 3. By covering Evaristo and his family in prayer. His heart, his identity as God’s prized and adopted son, is at the heart of this struggle. When Evaristo is closest to his Father, living out his calling as a son of God, reconciling with each person in his past and present, the Enemy has less hold on his life. There are high calls on Evaristo and Alicia’s lives, and on your as well. May God make us prayerful, alert and thankful, “opening up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ.”

A reference to the Law Society’s controversial advice on Sharia-based wills has been dropped by the independent regulatory body for solicitors. A spokesman for the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) confirmed that the organisation has removed a line pointing readers to the Law Society’s advice “in response to concerns that had been raised”. The Law Society has faced criticism for its guidance on Sharia-compliant wills, which says male heirs “in most cases receive double the amount inherited by a female heir of the same class”. It also says non-Muslims “may not inherit at all”, “only Muslim marriages are recognised” and adopted children should be ‘excluded’ from wills. The line from the SRA’s ethics guidance, which has now been removed, had advised solicitors: “If you are acting for clients for whom Sharia succession rules may be relevant you will find the Law Society’s practice note on the subject helpful.” Last month the National Secular Society urged the SRA – which is a public body – to remove the reference, arguing that since the body sets standards for solicitors, it should not be recommending guidance that encourages discrimination. And solicitors acting for Southall Black Sisters (SBS) and One Law for All (OLFA) threatened legal action on gender equality grounds. One of the solicitors representing SBS and OLFA, Louise Whitfield, called on the Law Society to withdraw the practice note now that the SRA has agreed to remove its own reference to it. She said: “I am surprised that the Law Society considers that it did not have to consult with any women’s organisations or organisations working with Muslim women, despite the fact that there are significant disputes surrounding Sharia succession rules and a wide range of interpretations as to how they should apply.” In March, campaigner Peter Tatchell said the Law Society should withdraw its guidelines as they were “assisting or promoting Sharia Law in the UK”. The Sunday Telegraph called the guidance a “worrying development”, and Baroness Cox, who is leading efforts to curb problems caused by Sharia courts in Britain, said the advice “would make the Suffragettes turn in their graves”.

Groups are a great way to build connection and learn new skills. I have been facilitating workshops for as long as I have been counselling. I can be contracted to run support or therapy groups or to give a workshop or presentation. I am happy to tailor a workshop or create a presentation to meet your organization’s needs. I have run groups for men, women, youth and children. Group counselling and support groups are available for groups of people who face a particular challenge: disordered eating, parenting, HIV/AIDS, medical students, post-secondary students, student parents, teen parents, parents of at risk youth, people with mental illness, people looking for work, grief and loss, death and dying, those with chronic pain, those with addictions, those exploring career options, those caring for a parent, etc. Group counselling and support groups can also be helpful for those who are in the same particular phase in their lives such as newly retired seniors or new parents. Presentation have less of an experiential focus and are more about learning theory and/or reviewing the latest research in the field. I have most recently offered presentations on Attachment and Family Systems Theory but can be contracted to develop other presentations for your organization.

CheatWithHer.com is the focus of today's investigation. This site has partnered with numerous dating sites that we have exposed in the past. If you want to know the gist of what CheatWithHer.com is and how they operate their site and what the real deal is please read the full review below. What CheatWithHer.com Is All About The number one and only reason that CheatWithHer.com exists is to funnel web users through their website and to the actual dating sites. Cheat With Her has partnered with numerous dating sites including BoneAMilf.com, BangSociety.com, and lastly MilfsAffair.com. These are just some of the sites being promoted through CheatWithHer.com. Money, The Ruling Force The pushing force behind all of this is money. When you click on the banner ad and visit CheatWithHer.com eventually people will register and join either BoneAMilf.com or MilfsAffair.com, the people who own Cheat With Her will receive money for sending those people to the site. They are paid for the web traffic they send. It can add up to quite a large sum. Unfortunately for the people who run CheatWithHer.com, they have partnered with fraudulent scams and are basically implicated in a crime. Maybe not enforceable by law but they are the ones getting people to sign these fictitious dating services that offer no value to the web user. The FTC is going to go after sites that are in the business of creating fake profiles. We're not sure if it's completely illegal to use fake profiles but we think it should be. As a dating site you should have real people on your site, not creating your own fake profiles to make the site look like there's real real people on it! And there are countless sites just like MilfsAffair.com (many of which we have documented) ready to take your money if you let them. Things however may be changing with the awareness from the media. The most recent news to hit the airwaves is that the FTC is coming after Ashley Madison for their use of their fake fem bots. So it could be just a matter of time before illegitimate dating services like the ones discussed in this investigation are brought down and either fined by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) or held liable in court. Things are changing and for the better, these sites are total con jobs milking millions from gullible consumers. It will be game over soon for all of them, and the wild west of online dating will be no more.
