On Thursday, October 17th and Friday October 18th Dr. Stephen Quake, of Stanford University, will deliver three talks for the Della Pietra Lecture Series at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, Stony Brook University.
Is biology a quantitative science like physics? I will discuss the role of precision measurement in both physics and biology, and argue that in fact both fields can be tied together by the use and consequences of precision measurement. The elementary quanta of biology are twofold: the macromolecule and the cell. Cells are the fundamental unit of life, and macromolecules are the fundamental elements of the cell. I will describe how precision measurements have been used to explore the basic properties of these quanta, and more generally how the quest for higher precision almost inevitably leads to the development of new technologies, which in turn catalyze further scientific discovery. In the 21st century, there are no remaining experimental barriers to biology becoming a truly quantitative and mathematical science.

Stephen Quake is a Professor of Bioengineering and of Applied Physics at Stanford University. He earned his B.S. in Physics and M.S. in Mathematics from Stanford, and his D.Phil. in Physics from Oxford University in 1994 as a Marshall Scholar. He did his postdoctoral work at Stanford with Stephen Chu on single molecules of DNA extension. After Stanford, he joined the department of Applied Physics and Physics at the California Institute of Technology at the age of 26. In 2004, he moved back to join the newly formed Department of Bioengineering at Stanford. He has been an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) since 2006.
His initial work focused on understanding the biophysics of DNA by building various tools and devices. Hearing about George M. Whitesides’ work using polymeric microfluidics, he teamed up with Axel Scherer to develop inexpensive fabrication methods for microfluidic chips for Lab-on-a-chip applications. These new fabrication methods allow for the design of more complicated geometries, which allow for microfluidic large-scale integration. Using these chips, the Quake group has been able to create crystals for x-ray crystallography and single-molecule DNA sequencing. In addition to his work at Stanford, he is a cofounder of both Helicos Biosciences and Fluidigm Corporation. In 2002, he was named as one of the Technology Review’s TR35. In 2004, he was the recipient of the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award. He is the 2012 winner of the Lemelson–MIT Prize. |
In Google’s ‘Year in Search’ for 2016, Google has released the list of things we (Nigeria’s) search most through the Google search engine for 2016.
From the list, we can see how Nigerians has shown the love that they have for Tecno and Infinix smartphones. Well, iPhone 7 top the list of most search smartphones for 2016 while Infinix Note 3 is the second and Samsung Galaxy S7 is the third. The amazing thing is Tecno W4 and Tecno W3 among the most search smartphones for this year. Wait, not even Gionee, Huawei or Innjoo feature on the list, is it because of economic recession Nigerians don’t search for them? Huh?
Some other top searches on Google for the year were personalities like ‘Stephen Keshi’ and ‘Bukky Ajayi’ who died this year, Donald Trump, America’s president-elect, his opponent ‘Hillary Clinton’ and Legendary American boxer ‘Muhammad Ali’.

You have probably heard about the rise in Singapore’s property prices coinciding with the acceleration of the markets. You have also probably heard that because of the changes in various housing rules, acquiring property within Singapore has become easier for those purchasing domestically and from foreign globe.
Condos are especially a popular choice of foreign buyers. Singapore authorities used to possess a rule in which a different buyer could only purchase an apartment in a building higher than six stories and the apartment had to be classified as a condominium. This rule no longer applies, but has not interfered with condo sales within buildings.
Yet to purchase a flat as a result of what’s called Executive Condominium projects (EC), you must deemed a Singapore citizen or resident and the purchase have got to take place anywhere between the sixth and tenth year from the date the Temporary Occupation Permit was granted. Any foreigners or corporate bodies who are not permanent residents of Singapore are not eligible in order to an EC. But the majority of that if you can be a foreigner or part of the corporate body, you can purchase an EC if it is in its eleventh year from the date the Temporary Occupation Permit was issued.
So if you might be a permanent citizen perhaps corporate body who wants to purchase an EC, the appropriate action is to locate the developer in that particular area obtain the information you’ll want to make your order. If you are a foreigner or corporate body eager to purchase an EC, you should also check with the developer in designed you are considering about so that you should find what ECs have a their eleventh year and beyond.
But if you want a good Jade scape condo, discover go the EC route or can perform look into apartments that have apartments that are classified as condos. It more or less depends on your citizenship, if happen to be part of a company body that has relocated in Singapore, or what type of money you capable spend. Although property prices within Singapore have seen a rise, that rise is due into the demand and success of the economy, which cannot be overlooked. These successes have resulted in a successful real estate market that involves anything from homes to the perfect condo, so be sure to look into purchasing property in Singapore if you are relocating domestically or relocating abroad. |
The most efficient operation of boilers can be achieved by combining the features of their own controls with those of a BMS. Christian Engelke of Viessmann explains why the benefits are often going unnoticed.
A. O. Smith has launched five commercial boilers to complement its range of high-efficiency water heaters and solar systems. Epsilon and Upsilon (pictured) condensing boilers have outputs from 38 to 140 kW and enable the company to deliver a total solution for heating and hot water.
Two major plumbing and heating merchants have added Windhager biomass heating boilers into their catalogues. They are Plumb Center, part of the Wolseley Group, and PTS, part of the Travis Perkins Group.
Pre-assembled lifting stations for removing condensate from boiler plant have been development by Grundfos. Conlift operates automatically when condensate enters the collection tank.
When it comes to refurbishing heating systems in schools, offices, municipal facilities or even churches, building-services engineers are faced with many choices. If budgets are tight, tough decisions have to be made, especially when the cost of replacing entire heating systems is prohibitive. Peter Gammon of MHS Boilers, explains the potential problems of new boilers on old systems, and examines the simple and cost-effective solutions available.
Following a successful trial of scrub willow to fuel a Euroheat HDG 50 boiler, a farmer in Wales went ahead with the replacement of an oil-fired system that was costing over £4000 a year to run. Hendre Farm in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park has 20 acres of scrub willow, which owner Jim Dale was initially concerned would not be a suitable fuel.
Where energy efficiency is concerned, heating manufacturers and specifiers are setting themselves new challenges to deliver maximum efficiencies and energy savings at all times, says Mark Northcott of Remeha Commercial.
Despite the popularity of low-water-content boilers, there are many instances where selecting boilers with a higher water content will significantly improve system performance. Simon Mitchell of Hoval explains the engineering reasons, which will be reflected in the next version of ‘CIBSE Guide B1: Heating’, due in March 2013.
Whilst wider technologies such as renewables and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) have increased their share of the limelight over recent months, Pete Mills of Bosch Commercial & Industrial Heating explains why condensing boilers should still be considered an essential element of an industrial heating solution.
The long-appreciated benefits of packaged plant for heating and hot water can be extended to incorporate low/zero-carbon energy sources, explains Jeff House of Baxi Commercial Division.
The R40 wall-mounted boiler from Stokvis incorporates the latest gas-heating technology to achieve maximum operating efficiencies with minimum environmental impact. For example, CO2 levels are 8.5 to 8.7%, and NOx emissions are less than 39 mg/kWh at 0% oxygen — exceeding requirements for maximum BREEAM credits.
Baxi Commercial Division has supplied Potterton Commercial boilers and Baxi-SenerTec multi-module Dachs mini-CHP system for the refurbishment of the heating system of St Aidan’s College of Durham University. The previous heating system had reached the end of its operational life, and the university was keen to ensure that the replacement equipment should employ low-carbon technologies.
Viessmann has added three models to its line of Vitocrossal 200 gas-fired condensing boilers, offering higher heat outputs of 400, 500 and 630 kW. A standard two units can be cascaded to deliver a total output of 1260 kW, though it is possible to cascade up to four boilers. These boilers can deliver flow temperatures of up to 95°C for applications such as schools, hospitals and other buildings with large radiator coverage.
Renovation work of St Leonard’s Church in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, included the replacement of a 60-year-old oil-fire unit with three 65 kW gas-fired Thision L boilers and a Pisces pressurisation manager from MHS Boilers. They are mounted on a free-standing cascade frame as part of the complete refurbishment of the heating system.
The new communal heating system for two high-rise blocks in Wolverhampton is served by Evinox packaged boiler skids that are more efficient than individual boilers. The £12 million investment to refurbish the buildings on the Hickman estate is part of the Wolverhampton Homes Decent Homes programme. Each flat has a ModuSat heat-interface unit equipped to provide accurate metering of energy consumption and billing.
Many types of boiler could disappear from the commercial market as the Energy Related Products Directive takes effect. Bob Walsh of Hamworthy Heating looks at the potential implications for the heating industry.
Marshall-Tufflex has produced a mini-brochure outlining its most popular PVCu multi-compartment perimeter trunking solutions. Called ‘We’ve got it covered’, the brochure details size, ideal installations and brief technical information. It also includes images.
Danlers’ batten-mounted ‘intelligent’ photocell switch delivers significant energy savings at low cost. Its radical new calibration process enables this control to distinguish between artificial and natural light, removing the site-specific addition of artificial light from any decision to automatically switch the lights on/off. This minimises hysteresis drift and reduces the risk of false triggering or ‘hunting’. This technology has a GB patent pending No. 1219746.3.
Plumbing and heating merchant Plumbase has rebranded its Plumbline stores in Scotland to Plumbase during a national rollout of its new brand identity. A total of 19 stores have been rebranded. Each store has been remerchandised and received new exterior and interior signage.
The Save It Easy adapter that enables energy-efficient T5 lamps to be installed in existing fittings now comes with a 5-year guarantee, making it an even lower-risk way to cut fuel bills and maintenance costs. Over a million of these T5 converters have been installed across the UK and Europe. By converting old-style luminaires to high-frequency operation, energy savings of 37 to 65% can be achieved with T5 and T8 lamps.
Armstrong has opened a new London sales office to enhance services for customers and provide a base for its expanding energy-services team. The company has always had a strong presence in London and the South East, but with the growing demand in the capital for its energy-audit and efficiency-upgrade services has decided to create a dedicated site.
Climate Center now supplies Carrier Chillers nationwide following an agreement enabling it to offer a full chilled-water solution alongside the existing refrigerant-based range. The agreement includes Carrier’s Aquasnap chillers up to 160 kW in screw- and scroll-compressor versions, high-efficiency fan coils with EC motors and a range of bespoke compact air-handling units.
Hattersley offers a range of press-fit valves with integrated adapters for the Geberit Mapress system. Comprising a ball, balancing, strainer and check valve, the range is available in sizes from 15 to 54 mm and can be used with copper and Geberit stainless- and carbon-steel tubing.
Prefabricated valve assemblies from Marflow Hydronics for HVAC applications save a lot of time on site. Xterminator valve assemblies are not only supplied pre-assembled but also pre-tested and individually tagged and labelled. Other benefits are that fewer components need to be ordered for a project and that these assemblies can help optimise flow and temperature in a building, potentially reducing wasted energy in unoccupied or rarely used spaces.
Is Remote Commissioning really a great innovation that could change our future and make possible the long wish list for improving and sustaining the efficient operation of buildings. Martin Lowe of Marflow Hydronics shares his thoughts.
Thoroughly cleaning a pipework system before it is commissioned and ensuring it remains clean is vital to the success of commissioning and the subsequent life of the pipework — so much so that it requires proper management. Reginald Brown of BSRIA explains the latest guidance.
SES has won the contract to supply MEP services for the £15 million design-and-build contract for a multi-site project for Avon & Somerset Police. It is the largest win to date for the south west regional office of SES, which will work on behalf of Miller Construction, which is delivering the facilities for the Blue Light Partnership.
Eaton now offers a 3-phase RCBO that can fit directly into the popular Memshield 3 range of distribution boards. This RCBO is a 3-pole plus permanently connected neutral device, eliminating the inconvenience and extra cost associated with using externally mounted RCDs to protect 3-phase boards.
The Grundfos Selcoperm electrolytic chlorination system uses common salt to disinfect water and is an approved disinfection method complying with the Drinking Water Inspectorate regulations for drinking water. The sodium hypochlorite solution produced has a pH of 8 to 8.5 and a maximum equivalent chlorine concentration of less than 8 g/l. Its long life makes it ideal for storage in a buffer tank.
An LED lighting system for applications such as offices that produces uniform light for direct and indirect illumination can replace T5 and TCL lamps. TALEXXengine Stark INDI is avaialble in the Classic version with a CRI greater than 80 and is ideal for floor-standing and pendant luminaires. In pendant luminaires, 80% of the light is direct and 20% indirect. This ratio is reversed by floor-standing luminaires.
A development from Passivent makes possible natural air movement in partitioned floor areas without noise transfer from one area to another. The Active SoundScoop Transfer unit delivers optimum efficiency in balancing natural ventilation with noise attenuation in closed-plan buildings.
CP Electronics has introduced a series of PIR presence detectors to provide automatic control of lighting loads using an infra-red handset. These miniature detectors can be mounted directly to batten-style luminaires — either inside or outside — and controlled manually if required. When movement is detected, the load will switch on. When the area has been empty for an adjustable time period, the load will be switched off. Sensitivity to movement can be adjusted.
Pegler Yorkshire has developed an improved version of the union angle valve that is used in its Prestex thermostatic mixing valves. The principal new feature is that the water supply to the valve can be locked when it is closed to prevent it being opened when, for example, maintenance work is being carried out. This locking function can be particularly used in commercial applications The union connection provides 360° of rotation.
Grundfos’s SoloLift2 range of sewage and wastewater domestic lifting stations comprises just five models to provide the solution to handling wastewater for any combination of WC, bidet, sink, shower and washing machine.

2020 long-shot Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced her intentions to run for president on “The Late Show,” while the much more viable Beto O’Rourke is being coy and keeping a blog of his solo road trip. Who else has announced? Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Julian Castro, and maybe some others have announced as well and we missed it. Still waiting on John Kasich, Jay Inslee, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden and a bunch more.
We seem to be getting a lot of “soft launches,” but Comfortably Smug is here to remind Democrats what a campaign launch is supposed to look like, damn it.
Why are these Dems going on Colbert or blogging or going to the dentist to announce they're running?
The blueprint for a winning campaign rollout has already been put on display.
Remember, Hillary called it her “Scooby van?” Good times.
That should do it. As long as your party rigs the primary for you, it should be pretty much clear sailing to the white house from here.
Follow up by writing a book that so successful, you have to do book signings at Costco. Because, you know, volume business.
You're running my campaign. It's been decided.
Can’t wait for Beto to do a sick grind on his skateboard down an escalator at the mall.
The copycats will come out soon. Kasich on an escalator. Sanders on an airport people mover. Clinton gingerly descending from a curb to the street with only one person helping.
Yup. Amazing that none of them has done the #escalator yet.
We really want to see Joe Biden skydive into the Democratic National Convention or something. |

Riot police were quick to crack down on a march in Hledan market in Yangon, beating several protesters on March 10.
A group of students and activists came onto the streets of Yangon at 2 pm in sympathy with the protesters who had been beaten in a melee of violence by police earlier in the day in Letpadan.
About 1,000 students and activists took part in the protest, and the authorities used about 500 police to launch a crackdown.
The protestors marched along Pyay Road. When they approached Sitepyoyay bus-stop, scuffles broke out between the protestors and the police. Some protestors were beaten.
The protestors in Hledan shouted slogans calling for the immediate release of the students and activists who were arrested in Letpadan. The protesters in Letpadan were demonstrating for changes to the National Education Law and had been blocked from continuing their march to Yangon.
Riot police on Tuesday launched violent crackdown on student protestors’ camp in Letpadan, so on the same day, in Hledan, Yangon, some students and other people staged a brief protest against the “Letpadan crackdown”. But police launched a violent crackdown against the brief protest in Hledan, too.
Initially, student protestors in Letpadan announced that they would leave from Letpadan for Yangon on March 10. So students and activists in Yangon planned to stage a protest outside the Hledan market in Yangon if authorities did not allow the students in Letpadan to enter into Yangon. But authorities announced that they would allow students in Letpadan to enter into Yangon, so the plan of the activists in Yangon was cancelled.
Despite announcement, the riot police launched a violent crackdown against student protestors in Letpadan. So the students and activists in Yangon staged a protest at about 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday and the police in Yangon launched a violent crackdown on the brief protest.
“We will make efforts by using various ways until we get democratic education,” he said.
About 1,000 students and activists took part in the protest, and authorities used about 500 police to launch crackdown the protest, Mizzima witnessed.
The protestors marched along Pyay Road. When they reached near Sitepyoyay bus-stop, scuffles broke out between the protestors and the police. Some protestors were beaten.
The protestors (in Hledan) shouted slogans calling for the immediate release of the students and activists who were arrested in Letpadan. |
Our very own VDGW will soon reach the lofty heights of “Traffic Cops,” you can bet on that, and it will soon even challenge “Can’t Pay, Take It Away,” as The Nations Favourite.
Back to the story and a Yorkshire van driver who was BANNED from driving decided it was ok for him to get behind the wheel.
He didn’t care that his license had been ripped up and didn’t care that he didn’t have any van insurance.
It was his cousin’s van to be exact, although his cousin had broke his toe which meant he couldn’t drive.
“Get behind the wheel for me, cuz?” might have been the words spoken between the pair.
So the cousin did what a good cuz would do and got behind the wheel of the white van.
No license and no insurance…was this man dangerous? Did he go on a rampage worthy of VDGW?
In fact, reports suggest he was a very careful driver who moved through the gears smoothly, stuck to the speed limit, and drove with hands at 10 and 2.
Some onlookers even suggested he waved at old women while driving and slammed his breaks on to allow a kitten to cross the road.
Those “Traffic Cops” were soon right up his rear van door and flashing their blue lights.
“I’m going to pull this guy off the road,” said one Traffic Cop in a thick Yorkshire accent.
“Yeah, pull him off,” said his partner.
Long story short. This disqualified van driver found himself in court on charges of driving while disqualified and driving with no insurance.
“I’m Guilty,” he said in front of a shocked jury.
“I’m sending you to prison then,” replied the judge as the trusty hammer was slammed down.
“I’ve already got my bag packed,” replied the van driver.
If you don’t have van insurance then you could go to prison.
The Police are becoming tougher on van drivers without insurance. It doesn’t matter if you are a safe driver or a nice guy…if you don’t have insurance then you could end up in the slammer.
So make sure you get insured today by filling in our 3 minute form. You have the power to compare over 40 companies and brokers, and will be amazed at the very cheap van insurance prices.

Fix KingMiner Malware Efficiently Via Free Scanner.
KingMiner Malware is another creation of cyber criminals which can cause damage to your PC. The malware was first observed in June 2018 and according to security analyst it is a modified version of infamous XMRig miner. Victim of this threat is found from different countries such as Sweden, Malaysia, India, Mexico, Peru etc. As the name suggest, this malware is designed to make utilization of system resource and mine cryptocurrency for the criminals. Research also reveal that this malware is designed to mine Monero which is another digital currency. In simple it makes profit for crooks and arise problem on your system.
KingMiner Malware is dropped on the system as an XML file and after sometime it get converted into ZIP file. If the malware found that the mining process is already running on the victim system the it stops the new attempt. Most of the victim fail to detect this threat because it runs under a legitimate looking process known as powered.exe. In order to run its mining process the malware utilize 100% available resource due to which user's have to suffer from different problems. If your system is also infected with this threat then you will get a slow and sluggish computer.
Report also suggest that KingMiner Malware make several changes in the settings of system and also add registry entries. By doing that it make sure that no interruption will occur during mining process. In addition, the malware also weakens the security of infected system. As a result other malware as well as cyber criminals can attempt to invade it.
Cyber criminals behind KingMiner Malware use different combination of password and username to get the login details. This process of invading is known as brute force attack. Therefore it is suggested to change the credential password and username on a regular basis. To remove KingMiner Malware use a robust anti-malware software.
A KingMiner Malware is generally shortened as KingMiner Malware which is a type of malware designed in order to provide unauthorized access to a user’s system. It is not capable of replicating themselves like virus but it can lead to viruses which is being installed on a machine since they allow the system to be controlled by the KingMiner Malware developer. KingMiner Malware continue to increase in popularity and nowadays majority of known malware found on the web is Trojan. It misrepresents itself to appear like an useful program and persuade a user to install it. It is generally spread through email attachment, freeware download, accessing of an unauthorized websites or from web browser. It may also get transferred into the system via a USB flash drive or any other external devices.
KingMiner Malware are not easily detectable by themselves but when a system appear to run slower due to heavy processor and network usage it is to understand that the system has been infected with a malware like Trojan. KingMiner Malware never attempt to inject themselves into the other files but propagate themselves. To eliminate it from the USB flash drive or from any external devices you will have to reformat your USB and removable devices.
Once it get installed inside the system it run the infected code and perform all the malicious functions in order to harm the system even without user’s knowledge. It unload the hidden programs and perform unauthorized access to other victim’s system. KingMiner Malware use to erase or overwrite the data on a system. It is capable of deactivating the anti-virus and Firewall programs. It may download and install other malicious files without user concern. It can steal information like bank details, cookies, search history or other important data like passwords. If you disable or uninstall it from your system then still it is capable of re-installing themselves on the system. It is such a dangerous program that it disable the task manager as well as control panel from the system.
KingMiner Malware is an extremely perilous threat that generates various unavoidable commercial ads which can hamper normal functioning of the PC and modifies Internet browsers settings. It attaches itself to the web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, safari, IE and shows bunch of pop-up ads every time you open it. Most of the time infectious files of this threat hides itself in system’s background process so as to cover its identity from admin. Severity level of this worm will even cause system crash because it constantly downloads its supporting files. This virus additionally installs unwanted browser add-ons and plug-ins to your browser. In presence of this threat, the performance of your PC might degrade to large extent. KingMiner Malware could send you to some unsafe websites and advertisements that don’t seem to be trustworthy. Visiting its redirected sites could infect your PC with harmful malwares as this virus largely redirects you to phishing websites. Other awful threats are often come along with this virus. To being unseen from security programs, it deletes the windows registry items as well. Moreover, it will record your browsing history and transfer the collected data to cyber crooks. It typically displays ton of unreliable pop-ups, fake error messages, annoying ads and alerts. KingMiner Malware endlessly spreads malicious code in web browsers so they may simply interfere users on-line activity with the sole objective to get cash.
If you are not careful enough while using your Computer then the KingMiner Malware can enter and infect the system through various sources. You should be aware of different entry points of virus program so that it can be stopped and the computer and its data can be prevented. The system is always at a great risk if it is connected to the Internet because there are numerous sites that can automatically insert the virus program just on a click of a button. When you download any unknown software then it may contain the KingMiner Malware along with it. So you must browse sites that are considered to be safe. There is a huge misconception that the virus can spread only in online mode but the truth is even if you have never used Internet on the computer it can still get infected.

I wish I could say that we did all this super interesting stuff the last 10 days…but I would be fibbing if I said that. Truth is we really haven’t done much at all. Connie’s been working her full 20 hour per week maximum for the past 4 o 5 weeks trying to get all of her students placed. She’s dealing with a total of 3 classes getting scheduled right now and finally has enough spots for all of them but they’re being very slow in getting all of their paperwork requirements completed so that they can go out on clinical.
Beyond that we had Valentines Day dinner out…we went to a place named the Elephant Bar and Grill. This is a chain with about 20 or so locations across the country and we thought it was pretty decent back when we were in our early 30’s in San Diego…but our tastes have changed and the decor, service from the wait staff, and overall vibe just didn’t do it for us. The food was pretty good but overall it was pretty much a bust.
Connie won twice at Bingo in the past week as well. Neil got some new hardware and rehung our sign out front…the original brass plated cup hooks he used rusted away so he replaced them with a pair of stainless screw eyes. We also bought some new solar powered walk lights about a foot high…got six of these to put around our patio and light up our entrance approach a little.
The main data storage drive in our file server died…luckily no data was lost as Neil has lots of backups. It was a 1.5 TB drive and he bought a pair of 3 TB drives to replace it and it’s mirror backup with. He thought he was being smart and just got bare drives with the intention of putting them into the existing cases since bare drives are 80 bucks cheaper each. Got the new drives and discovered that the old cases won’t support a 3 TB drive…so he got an RMA and shipped them back and ordered two new drives with cases. They’ll be here Tuesday or so and we’ll have our IT systems back up to full capability. He also bought a small fan to put up in our overhead storage area (over the fridge) where the drives live to give a little more air flow across them and help keep them cool.
Thursday we decided to head out on a kayak trip; after some discussion we elected to head over to the Jn Ding Darling NWR over on Sanibel Island about 30 miles from Seminole. While the kayaking was pretty decent…the traffic was horrible. When we got over to the entrance to the toll plaza for the causeway over to the island (6 bucks to get over, gotta be rich to live over there I guess) there was a 30 minute backup and then we limped along taking another 30 minutes to get the 2.5 miles out to the NWR parking lot. Had a nice kayak paddle through Tarpon Bay and some of the mangrove marsh areas and headed back only to find out the traffic was even worse. Took an hour to get off the island and then another hour to get home since it was rush hour by that time and we had to deal with commuter traffic. We won’t go over there again, there’s another paddling place a lot closer and easier to get to.
Had dinner at the Elks last night…fish fry night all you can eat for 9 bucks. That and a coupla pitchers of beer (Amber Boch…not great but it’s the darkest brew they have) made a pretty outstanding dinner. Neil took out some lamb chops that he’ll grill tomorrow and then we’ll have leftovers for Monday night since there are 8 in the package.
Sorry, I didn’t get any pictures on the kayak trip…we lost our waterproof camera and have to buy a new one (or else a waterproof iPhone case) for ourselves.
Started working on our post Sevierville travel plans today; we had already figured out from Mar 15 when we leave through the beginning of May and today Connie figured out the plan through mid June when we arrive at Camp Horizons in Junction City. While the rig is getting some work done on it we’re headed off for vacation for 3 weeks. We’re almost completed figuring out what it will be…will post details as soon as they’re finalized.
YUM!! Keep BabySis posted on your travel schedule and ETA in Knoxvegas area! |

7th January 2013 | ‘A’ rated UPVC windows Grappenhall, Warrington.
This week we are replacing the windows, fascias, soffits & guttering at our own home on Springfield Avenue, Grappenhall. As we knew the brickwork in-between our front bay windows was likely to come loose during the installation we decided to have it fully removed and replaced to ensure a perfect finish with no cracks. We are really pleased with the look of the new windows, not only have they modernised the look of the house but the inside of our home is brighter, quieter & warmer.

Brickwork replaced, one bay & three windows fitted. |
My go-to winter outfits lately have been easy denim pants, the pair you can throw on and team with anything, the kind that helps you take ten minutes to get ready whilst looking put together?
It’s the modern way to wear the trickiest colour in winter. Should you wear white when it’s pouring down with rain In the middle of December, or if you have little babies who need picking up with mucky feet? So how can you wear white in the winter without looking like a walking postcard of summer.
Well you can totally wear white all year long and make a big impression during those colder months by doing just that. Whilst this weather seems to be confusing everyone at the moment, I like to team my favourite white denim pants from Rag and Bone here and super affordable here with my favourite jumper from J.W.Anderson’s collaboration with Uniqlo (here-and now in the sale!).
By adding a brown belt (here) and my favourite brown camel coat (similar here) it helps to add a little warmth and gives the outfit the lift it needs to make it more season appropriate and If your looking for an investment piece that you can wear season after season and time and time again, it’s the much trusted camel coat.
So wearing white isn’t as bad as you think, just team it with season friendly boots like my new trusted Zara lace up ankle boots (here) and the right jacket and you’re ready to go!
How talented are you. The edit is perfecto! Although I love this outfit, all white on me just doesn’t work this well!
Definitely nice colors. I love that coat!
Love the styling and push to wear something other than black for the fall. |

As a Ronald Reagan Republican, he often said, “Government is not the solution to our problems, government is the problem.” We should not shoulder our children and grandchildren with unsustainable deficits and out of control spending. I believe that government should be more transparent and less intrusive in our lives while living within its means as families on the Treasure Coast do.
As a job creator, I will work to eliminate burdensome regulations that inhibit economic prosperity. Less Government and Lower Taxes equal more freedom for Floridians. Having grown a company with an annual economic impact of $3 billion dollars, I understand that allowing the free market to operate without harmful regulations is the key to job creation.
As a mother and a person of Faith, I believe that all life is precious and begins at conception. This is a guiding value and principle.
The right to keep and bear arms is an essential part of our Constitution and who we are as a people. I will fight for the rights of law-abiding citizens to continue to own firearms. More can be done to address mental health and school safety while not eroding the fundamental principles and rights guaranteed to us by our Founding Fathers.
Thoughtful and innovative infrastructure are key to a favorable business environment that creates jobs and opportunity for Treasure Coast families, but NOT at the expense of public safety and quality of life. I remain strongly opposed to the current proposals of Brightline speeding through the heart of several of our communities.
As an educator, talent developer and job creator, I understand firsthand how a quality education can be the foundation to a better future. I will continue to work to ensure every child has the opportunities they need to reach their God given potential supporting early childhood programs, public education, school choice, higher education, and vocational training.
As the proud daughter of a WWII Air Force veteran, I learned early in life, that we honor those who put it all on the line for us. As a business owner, I’m proud that Keiser University has been rated by U.S. News and World Reports as a “Best Bet” for veterans. As they have served us, we should do all we can to honor and serve them.
The first act of an immigrant seeking to enter our great country should not be an illegal one by entering without the status to do so. I will end sanctuary cities and believe we need to strengthen our border security to keep our citizens safe.
We live in Florida because of the abundant sunshine and outdoor activities during our endless summer. Tourists visit Florida, and provide tremendous economic value, for the same reasons. We cannot have “closed due to pollution” signs on our rivers, bays and beaches. I support continued funding and meeting the project deadlines of the Lake Okeechobee reservoir championed by our outgoing State Senator Joe Negron. These discharges to coastal estuaries which forced the closures of the St. Lucie River, Indian River and some Atlantic beaches, and are threatening another severe algae bloom in 2018. . As a businesswoman, I will approach water quality and protection of our revered local natural resources with the same tenacity and drive that helped me grow Keiser University from one student to over 20,000 students, with a $3 billion economic impact annually. It’s time to send someone to Tallahassee with the proven track record of achieving results who will work with business, government and other leaders to achieve the long-lasting change needed to protect one of our most precious resources, water. |

There Are Hundreds of Practicing Exorcists in the U.S.
A recent survey of modern exorcists reveals a surprising lack of drama in the business of casting out demons.
This Halloween, just shy of the 40th anniversary of the movie The Exorcist, has seen the novel’s author and the movie’s producer, William Peter Blatty, get an extra dollop of the attention he sees around this holiday. Not that people aren’t already obsessed by the subject—The Exorcist remains, in inflation adjusted box office, the most popular R-rated film ever.
At my own Catholic high school, the Christian Brother teachers (yeah, the brandy guys) could be remarkably post-Vatican II flip and modern about most things doctrinal, but they got sober really fast about not messing around with demon-y things. Their sudden seriousness always made me wonder if they knew something. Every once in a while, I still wonder about that.
I’m not the only one. Writing last year in The Journal of Christian Ministry, University of Kentucky psychometrician Kenneth D. Royal described his survey of modern American exorcists.
Those last three words, outside of Hollywood, might sound like an oxymoron. Beside the odd story about some loony parents whose child dies while the ham-handed cast out demons, surely any instance of demonic possession is just a certain kind of psychological malady, and exorcism just a ridiculous exercise. If somebody’s better after an exorcism, light a candle to Saint Placebo. Plus, garden-variety evil seems to be doing a damned good job without extra-curricular shenanigans.
In such cases good communication with priests is recommended, but we are surprised that in 21st century and in Europe, there are still experts and clerics who believe that some types of schizophrenia are due to demonic possession. Our intention was to ask an expert cleric from the Madrid archdiocese to try to convince the patient that her symptoms were due to a mental disorder, in an effort to improve her insight. To our surprise, clerics assumed that the patient's psychotic symptoms were due to a malign presence.
In the U.S., exorcism takes on a mostly Christian cast, although evennon-Abrahamic religions recognize the practice. The bias here is probably because culturally we’re mostly Christian and the New Testament is chock full of demons being cast out, usually by Jesus but sometimes by his followers in his name. But there are demons in the Old Testament, too, and in Jesus’ day casting them out was a recognized job in the Jewish community. Professional exorcists also were acknowledged in the early days of the Christian church.
Two millennia later, in 1972, Pope Paul VI abolished the minor order of exorcist, but that was more of a human resources reshuffling of roles (porter and catechist also got the papal boot) than a statement that exorcism was passé. Nonetheless, in 1999 the Vatican updated its 300-plus-year-old exorcism regulations and said an allegedly possessed person should be given a thorough medical and psychological exam before phoning the Jesuit hotline.
Between talking with Christian leaders, authors of texts on exorcism, and an Internet posting, Royal was able to reach out to 316 (!) American exorcists. Some 170 answered his survey. Fifteen of these 170 took part in an additional personal interview. Most of the larger set were men, most were Protestant (all the big denominations, including the so-called mainline ones, were represented), and most had “set demonized people free” between 11 and 1,000 times.
Furthermore, most practicing exorcists (but not Catholic ones) believe that “any mature Christian” has the necessary authority to cast out demons.
Nonetheless, fasting, along with being patient and humble, were seen as necessary or at least useful preparations for the casting out. “Satan," One interviewee told Royal, "has no equipment to fight humility.” That might be a useful prescription for fighting any sort of devil these days.

Over the past month, there has been a major debate surrounding the revision and selection process of our events at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. With the upcoming Board meeting, I would like to take this opportunity to provide some clarification and share with you my personal point of view on this matter.
First, I want to discuss the process. It seems that there are some who question our process and make unsubstantiated statements, for example “It seems to me that Sailing has lost confidence in itself and like an insecure overachiever is scrambling...”. From my perspective these statements have no merit and I am very confident that Sailing is progressing in a positive way. In fact, I would proudly say that for the first time in the history of World Sailing, there is a regulation in place challenging the World Sailing Council to stay competitive by undertaking a strategic review. And within this regulation, a clear framework and timing has been outlined to ensure that progress continues to be made.
Given that this is the first time the World Sailing Council has had to address this challenge, only one area was missing: the strategic consideration of events and equipment for the future of sailing. In order to address this missing piece, last November at our annual meeting and as part of World Sailing’s strategic review, the Board made three submissions concerning the future of sailing in terms of events and equipment. All three were voted on and approved by the majority of the members and together with the recommendations on the five events to be reviewed, the three submissions are forming the framework for the decision process according to World Sailing regulations. We are clearly not having any confidence issues, but a lot of options to be decided upon for the future of our sport.
Second, I want to address comments made with regards to media and audience e.g. “sailing has never been a spectator’s sport”. These kinds of comments have recently appeared as part of the Events evaluation and I have a hard time understanding the reasoning for these statements as part of the events selection process.
Let me be clear, I see our sports presentation as being very important. And yes, in the past we have not used the opportunities given to us by new media, but this is changing. Again, for the first time ever, World Sailing now has a clear plan on how to present our sport using new media and new technology. The World Sailing team has been working very hard in building a strong communication plan that will enhance the distribution of our sport at all levels and Tokyo 2020 will have a much improved platform. By using new media and new technologies such as SAP Analytics, sailors can have a better understanding of their performance at all times. Furthermore, new technologies make our sport more accessible and understandable to newcomers and therefore increase our audience. Already, the feed from our World Cup Series Rounds and Final are distributed to 36 broadcasters which has resulted in 2017 in more than 3,834 hours of live, delayed, highlight, repeat and news coverage being broadcast across 195 nations in all 6 continents.
Third, in discussing the revision process of events, - one design and manufactured one design has been made a major issue. Accusations about one or the other being more fair or better than the other solution.
Our sport is equipment driven, which is leading to a lot of politics being played when voting on new Olympic equipment. There is a trend to favour manufactured one design equipment (believing this will secure a level playing field). However, when it comes to Olympic level sailing, more funding naturally gives more possibilities to some nations to buy more equipment and thus optimizing the manufacturing tolerances to optimize the fit of the boat to the athlete/team. On the other hand, equipment built by several builders gives the freedom to customize, making the testing and customization a driving cost factor.
Looking at history, there is no clear answer on cost vs a total level playing field for equipment. The cost of a sailor’s Olympic campaign is expensive, as there are cost elements far bigger than equipment being addressed. However, if we look at the longevity of our sport going forward and the benefits to our sport on all levels and the increasing importance of sustainability, our main concern should be the quality and longevity of equipment. I believe that this is the reason for tightening quality control as part of the new Olympic classes contract being implemented.
Fourth, I want to address the EU competition law that relates to equipment issues as this is subject with a lot of debate within the Sailing world. I can assure you that the Board is taking this extremely seriously and several measures are being taken to review this complex area.
Currently World Sailing has revised the contracts with our Olympic equipment manufacturers, however, the issue we are facing is that when selecting equipment for a discipline we are in fact granting exclusivity in favour of the equipment chosen as other Classes fitting the discipline are not able to compete in getting access to the discipline for a long period. The new changes in the Regulations allow for a retendering process every eight years – opening the discipline up for the possibility of new equipment and leaving the decision after an evaluation for the Council to decide whether or not to keep the equipment being used. Again, just to be clear, the issue we are addressing at our mid-year meeting in May, is focused only on the selection of the new events to be added to the 2024 Olympic programme – all decisions related to equipment will be made in November.
Fifth, is the subject of the IOC. In debates around the sailing world, it has been mentioned that the IOC is demanding change. I must say that this is not the case. The review of Olympic events is motivated by our own World Sailing regulations, however, the IOC Agenda 2020 should be seen as a source of inspiration and guidance.
While there have been different articles indicating that the “Olympic Movement has lost its way”, I have found this to be contrary to all of our dealings with the IOC. They are taking the future development of the Olympic Games concept and host venues very seriously, and are providing support and advice to International Federations based on proven data and studies. As a sport governing body, it is our role to process all this information and adapt it to our sport.
Now, with those debates put to rest, I want to focus on our goals and objectives for the future. Considering the challenges Sailing is facing when “competing” with other sports, we should have two clear objectives in mind: to be attractive to new sailors and to reduce the dropout rate among teenagers, high schoolers and university level students.
Sailing is a global sport and benefits from a long history and legacy across all continents. One way to keep bringing positive developments to our sport on all levels in all countries is to be focused on core global goals. In order to do that, I see the main actions going forward focused on the following: Improving our gender balance, attracting and capturing the interest of youth and growing our global audience.
I believe that the vision for the Olympic sports presentation of sailing should offer the best possible value to Sailing and strengthen the position of Sailing within the Olympic Games, including both universal events and events that showcase diversity and innovation of sailing.
Looking forward to the decision in May, the selection regarding the future events for the 2024 Olympic Games should strongly be dependent on whether the suggested event is relevant for the Olympic programme, whether it fulfills our mission and whether it positively impacts our goals. By exercising the revision of the five events in question and applying the three submissions approved by a big majority at our annual meeting last November, this will undoubtedly put some of the traditional events under pressure. That said any decision to develop the sport will never come easy, but we must think about what is best for the future development of our sport. The current trends show that Olympic classes are weakening at the national level and losing Olympic status for a class in many instances increases the activity level at the national level – to the benefit of sailing in general.
Today with the guidance of the IOC Agenda 2020 we actually have a new option: creating a new mixed Olympic event for the strong traditional Olympic classes instead of maintaining the status quo with traditional women’s and men’s disciplines.
Some may ask the question: will the traditional events grow at the national level? I believe they will. A Class will maintain Olympic status and at the same time introduce a new discipline. It will most likely create the first multi-medals at the World Championship and continental level in our sport but it will be anchored in strong classes rooted worldwide. Furthermore, it will send a strong signal to young and new sailors that sailing as a sport has a clear pathway that is not only well defined for each separate gender but also mixed. Therefore, I believe that the Olympic programme in 2024 should have four mixed events creating a strong platform supporting the change for improving the gender balance throughout our sport. By having four mixed events we will become more inclusive and still being able to accommodate different nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds in our ten Olympic events.
To accommodate the submission for a broader representation of physiques for women and men, we should evaluate two possibilities for dealing with the issue.
The introduction of a new Offshore mixed event will be showcasing a major part of our sport, making a strong statement that 70.8% of the global surface is the field of play for Sailing. This event option will also secure interest at the grassroots to encourage youth to stay in our sport when being introduced to keelboat- and endurance racing.
The introduction of having two single-handed technical disciplines facilitating one event for women covering the representation of an average weight of 50kg and an event for men representing a weight range above 90 kg. These event options in combination with existing events will secure the fulfillment of a broad representation of physique for men and women. Furthermore, this new event will facilitate the growth of women’s sailing worldwide.
To conclude, understandably a major concern from MNA’s is linked to equipment costs. However, while we look at the option given in the framework, there are clearly slates of events making it possible to maintain the existing equipment. This can be done through the inclusion of “new” mixed events and only adding new equipment for two events (one possibility to be Kite which is relatively cost efficient). From my perspective, maintaining existing equipment and at the same time develop the presentation of our sport should be our highest priority.
The decision to be taken at the upcoming council meeting in May is important for the future of sailing; and I am confident that in the end we will have a strong final slate of 10 events and a well rooted sports presentation going forward. |

Bowling is a relatively safe sport, but bowling safety still must be considered at all times. We want your stay with us to be fun, so we think that these tips will get you safely into the game!
We want you to have an excellent time while bowling! For everyone to have an equally great time please follow our recommended bowling etiquette guidelines.
Before performing any physical activities, bowling included, it is essential to warm up your muscles. Because of the repetitive nature of the sport and varying weight of the balls, it is possible for the muscles and joints to become strained.
Congratulations to all of the School District 43 (#SD43) students who participated in the very first Coquitlam Public Library Science Expo. Zone Bowling Coquitlam was happy to contribute the "Science Expo Achievement Award" as one of the prizes for the top winners and free game bowling passes to the remaining participants. |
Therapeutic rapport is an essential part of a healthy therapist-client relationship, leaving the client feeling safe and respected so that therapy can be successful.
Therapeutic rapport refers to the empathic (caring) and shared understanding of issues between a therapist and a client. It implies a team approach to management of these issues in contrast to an adversarial approach. With good therapeutic rapport, a client feels his therapist "has his back" in a way the allows him to face difficult-to-face problems. Likewise, the therapist in a setting with good therapeutic rapport feels respected in a way which allows her to speak clearly and freely.
The goal of developing a good rapport is to improve your chances for a successful outcome, along with developing mutual trust and respect, to foster an environment in which you, the client, feel safe.
To develop a good rapport, your therapist must, among other things, demonstrate empathy and understanding. Therapeutic rapport is a cornerstone of some forms of psychotherapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, which is common in phobia treatment.
In order to develop a therapeutic rapport, you need to feel confident that your therapist is an expert who is developing a treatment plan designed to meet the needs of your specific case.
How will you know if your therapist is taking the time to conceptualize your case?
From your very first session, she should assess the difficulties you currently have. She will help you create a problem list and begin to prioritize that with you.
During the first few sessions, your therapist should outline her treatment plan for you and ask if it's acceptable to you. She should revisit the plan in future sessions and consult with you about necessary modifications.
Your treatment plan should include goals and benchmarks, so it's easier to self-report and assess your own progress.
Genuineness is one of the ways your therapist can develop a healthy rapport with you. When she is genuine, it allows you to see her as a human being, not just a mental health professional. If you see her as being genuine, you are more likely to positively receive critical feedback about your progress.
Provide supportive nonverbal cues, including eye contact and nodding in agreement.
Give feedback in the moment, rather than in a later session.
Encourage you to be active and feel empowered in regards to your treatment plan.
Shows your therapist cares about what you think and values your input.
Gives you space to bring up anything that's bothering you about your treatment and individual sessions. If you sense that your therapist is genuine, you will also realize that therapists are human and aren't perfect. Keep in mind that everyone is different, and what works in a treatment plan for one person may not work for you. One of the ways in which your therapist can recognize your uniqueness is by providing feedback about anything that doesn't seem to be working for you as an individual.
Encourages teamwork between the two of you.
Allows your therapist to repair any damage to your therapeutic relationship, whether it's real or perceived.
When your child is in therapy, his therapist should develop a good rapport with the parents or guardian as well.
Anxiety disorders, such as social phobia, agoraphobia, and specific phobia, are highly treatable and the most frequently diagnosed class of mental health issues in adolescents and children. Phobia is most commonly treated with cognitive behavior therapy techniques, which emphasize the import of the healthy therapeutic relationship for a successful outcome.
With the advent of online and telephone options for therapy, the importance of therapeutic rapport is just as important, but more difficult to develop and assess. We know from history, that typed messages (think Facebook misunderstandings) and communications on the phone are more difficult to interpret since neither the client nor the therapist can visualize important body language clues. Keep this in mind if you are considering distance therapy and ask a potential therapist how she works with this issue.
Just as there are some painters who may a better job painting your house, there are some therapists that do a better job of establishing rapport. Yet, based on the definition of rapport, this effort is two-sided and requires effort on the part of both the therapist and the client.
That said, personality can play a large role in developing rapport with your therapist. Even if a therapist is very compassionate and a client is very motivated to address her mental health issues, there are times when personalities simply don't mix. If you find yourself in this category, don't fret. It doesn't mean that you chose a bad therapist or that you have failed in your attempt to get help. There are many good therapists out there, and just as you may need to interview a few home decorators to see which one matches your personality best, you may need to talk to more than one therapist before you find the one who can best help you work through and cope with any mental health issues.

I was an Art and English Literature student at college, (alongside law, history and languages) so I was excited to be invited for a tour of St Pancras International station to discover its history, the story behind the statues and decor within the station and how it became the great shopping place it is today. Food and drink, as well as the new Eurostar Terminal is all available here. I delightfully finished off my tour with a delicious afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason. The cakes were the prettiest and most tantalising tea cakes I have ever eaten. You can also experience this! St. Pancras International has teamed up with Fortnum & Mason, to celebrate the station’s 150th year, and from the 21st May they will be offering a unique hours tour of the station followed by afternoon tea at Fortnum’s. With an insightful historic walk around this iconic station and some very delicious treats to enjoy afterwards, it will definitely be a wonderful experience. I absolutely enjoyed every part of this tour. If you book a tour and tea package you’ll find out why I mentioned it’s great for art and English literature enthusiasts.

Soon after I started my internship at Caster, I realized that all the communications and public relations classes I’d taken didn’t teach me everything that I would come across in a real-world environment. Here I was introduced to new types of projects and industry resources, and one thing I’ve done a lot is create media lists. I didn’t know anything about media lists before being an intern at Caster, and I had never learned how to put one together. My first instinct about media lists was that they were Word documents you created with media sources that pertained to the topic at hand. I had no idea how detailed they needed to be and how much useful information you could actually find. Luckily for me I have a great team that eased me into this process and taught me how to correctly put one together.
Media lists are a compilation of names, information and sources that are applicable to campaigns and outreach for media pitching. These names include specific journalists and outlets who have written or currently write about the topic you want to pitch. For example, if you’re looking for coverage about a new tech gadget your client has released, you may want to pitch to those who write for TechCrunch or Engadget, or who covered a similar product in the past. The media list will usually consist of the name of a journalist, outlet they write for, email or contact information, Twitter handle and a link to something relevant they’ve written. It has taken me a little while to figure out which targets are good for a certain pitch and should be added to a list. I’ve learned that you want your target to post regularly about the topic you are pitching. If they have only posted about a certain topic once, you’re better off finding something else. If your target has a large following and is a respected outlet in the industry you are working in, that is also a good sign.
An important key to compiling a good media list is making sure that all of the information you use is up-to-date. Be sure that the journalist you include is still working for the outlet and writing about topics that are in your area of interest. Another important detail to watch out for is the journalists’ email address, since addresses that are news@site.com and info@company.net are just for general use and are ineffective for pitching. A resource that we use to find this information is Meltwater, which has a search function where you can look for a journalists. If they are in the system, Meltwater provides you with updated information for that journalist. If someone you are looking for is not in Meltwater you must search through the web. I suggest Googling their name and checking Twitter, LinkedIn and their personal sites for contact information.
Media lists are a crucial part of pitching to help your clients to get coverage. As I keep working on media lists, I become better and better. It has become a lot easier for me to spot good targets and I have even begun to recognize big names in the tech-writing business. It’s a great feeling knowing that your research is being used in an effective way to help get client coverage. Keep in mind the tips and tricks I shared above from my personal experience and let me know what you think by connecting with me on Twitter @AliCerasuolo! |
A strong V8, four-on-the-floor, and a great color setup are the reasons that attracted you to this 1966 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova. But then you discover the super clean presentation everywhere, right down to the undercarriage, on this real-deal Super Sport – that\'s what makes this one irresistible.
Rendered in the Marina Blue, this Nova has earned the right to share the legendary color with its Camaro and Corvette siblings. This classic color has plenty of modern gloss, so it looks terrific when you take it out for a sunny day cruise. Plus, we love these second-generation Novas, because they perfectly added some of Chevy\'s \'60s-style muscle car aggression without ever losing its sleeper attitude. The subtle overhand of the front fenders, the sporty kick-up in the rear ones, and the fastback roofline are all attractive without being too brazen. Plus, you get all the correct vintage Nova details like the right Super Sport badging, full rocker trim, and wraparound chrome bumpers front and rear. It\'s a head-turner right down to the iconic Rally wheels.
There was a solid investment inside to keep the factory-correct black interior looking good and feeling fresh. Everything looks factory original, from the chrome accents on the black door panels, to the heat/defrost controls, to the push-button AM radio that\'s still on display. You should even check out the trunk that has the correct matting and even the instructions affixed to the inside lid. When you slide into the driver\'s bucket seat, the black and chrome steering wheel feels grippy in your hands, and beyond that are the wide, clear gauges you love on a 60s American classic like this. But when you grab the Hurst shifter, you\'ll instantly realize you like this Nova SS for more than just nostalgia.
The code 18 in the VIN lets you know this is a real-deal V8 Super Sport Nova, and so you\'re going to love what you see when you lift the hood – it\'s a correct 327 cubic-inch V8. And when you look beyond the style of the polished components like the valve covers and air topper, you\'re going to find some great performance upgrades, too. This has a Holley four-barrel carburetor, performance aluminum intake, and a rumbling glasspack-style dual exhaust. Best of all, you have complete control over this lightweight and powerful package thanks to the four-speed manual transmission.
A real-deal Super Sport Nova with a terrific presentation and a powerful V8 package. It\'s a turn-key ready classic that\'s ready to turn heads this weekend. So don\'t miss out, call today!!! |

A good portion of this blog is dedicated to classical music [especially every weekend on The Tales].

A couple of years ago in Houston the fetching Mrs. B and I saw the musical Show Boat, and it was quite a 'show' indeed!
One of the great show tunes ever written, "Old Man River" came out of this epic performing art. Please turn up the volume and enjoy this awesome performance as bass-baritone and bass singer, Samuel Ramey, sings "Ol' Man River" . |

I agree with many of your points and am curious what you think the better combination is. Another question may be why would McDonalds/Coinstar want to sell?
Here is one potential buyer: PayPal/Ebay. The purpose would be to showcase mobile payments.
You have this backwards.. Redbox should buy blockbuster.. convert all those Blockbuster retail outlets into Redbox lounges by installing like 10 networked Redbox kiosks inside each to keep offering the full blockbuster selection and just doing away with the staff.. put in a sofa and a widescreen so folks could watch trailers at their leisure….. then in phase 2.. Redbox sells off all that commerial real estate wtih one requirement.. Redbox can maintain at least one kiosk at that site forever..
Look at you’ll….Your wanting to take away more jobs from Americans and give more to the already rich corporations! you people make me sick!
Don’t make a deal with the devil, Redbox.
Well, I just started using Redbox a few weeks ago after seeing it in Wal-Mart and hearing friends sing its praises for over a month. I decided to give it a try – and I love it! Now I’ve got more friends started using it too!
See, I used to work for Blockbuster and it was during that transitional time when they got rid of “late fees” and started Blockbuster Online and all that. I remember the first day I had to sort out all the returned-by-mail movies and get new ones ready to be shipped out. Blockbuster has definitely TRIED to keep up with progress. I’ve even had their “Rewards” program for the last 2 years and got more than my share of free movies every month (without buying anything more than the $10 Rewards card – I learned a few tricks of the trade).
But with all that, I can just say that Blockbuster is going down. Their prices are sky high. Their selection is still the best (for non-online vendors), but you can buy an old movie off eBay for the same price you’d rent one there.
I agree with what someone else said, Blockbuster shouldn’t be able to afford Redbox. Redbox is just so much better. If Blockbuster DID manage to buy Redbox, they’d probably jack up the rental prices.
The idea of Redbox buying Blockbuster and converting all the Blockbuster stores into Redbox lounges really isn’t a bad idea. That’s the only thing Redbox lacks – a decent selection of older titles. For probably a small rental price (or more crowding of current locations), they can have specialized Redbox kiosks, like “Classics” (meaning all good older movies, not just movies from the 50s), “Sci-Fi”, “Action”, whatever. They still wouldn’t have to pay employees (beyond the basics), but they’d be able to further eat into Blockbuster’s customer base that way and gain more loyalty from their own customer base.
The lounge idea sounds great. You still could have the lounge managed by and employee or two (one during slow times, two at peak). They could be Movie Experts or something along the lines of the Genius from the Apple Store. Besides monitoring the kiosks, they could be there to suggest films. They also could sell the extras like sodas, candy, chips, etc.
The idea of having kiosks for new releases, comedies, classics, dramas, indies, foreign, documentaries, etc. is great. But, another great thing would be game kiosks (360, PS3, and Wii).
I also think that you could do a unlimited package with kiosks, where rather than pay $1/day, you simply pay the monthly fee.
One other possibilty (and McDonald’s wouldn’t like it) would be for Blockbuster to sell dinner to go (pizzas — perhaps just take n bake) inside their stores, with the kiosks in what normally would be the dining area.
Regardless, I think Blockbuster ultimately be forced to change the direction with its B&M stores. This would be one way to change their footprint.
Redbox doesn’t need blockbuster to grow their business. Their kiosks are better business model than any traditional video store. What Readbox needs is securing strategic locations where traffic is stopping, like airports, hospitals, gas stations, places outside all the hotels and motels, any places where there are people waiting for unrelated services and having time to kill.
NO, NO, NO…it would be a tragedy to sell, in my opinion. I agree with Mikey above…we like you just the way you are!
nooooooooooooooo REDBOX it’s just fine the way it is, i try blockbuster before and i didn’t like it at all, in the other hand i love redbox and would not change it for nothing!!! Redbox is just so much better.
Please listen up folks…………NO! No Way! No Way in Hell !!! Should Redbox sell………………..just keep improving what you already have to offer and forget Blockbuster, unless Redbox has a desire to purchase Blockbuster/Netflex to enlarge Redbox’s service/business. For now we love you Redbox just the way you are……..
I say keep the red box and keep teaming up with grocery stores, McDonalds, and wal-mart to house them….not block busters.
The only contract I would take out with blockbusters, if I were red box, would be one to house and possibly fill the machines…I wouldn’t let blockbuster buy them, but you could team up under contract for blockbuster staff to fill them and even have one at blockbusters for customer convenience, then give blockbusters a kickback on % of sales….
NO Blockbuster shouldn’t touch Red Box. Maybe Red Box could do online renting of older movies and keep the Red Box ease of use for the newer movies.
If a big company like them gets hold of this it may morph into something UGLY.
Blockbuster won’t buy redbox, they’re currently offering $1 billion for circuit city.
Leave Redbox alone; it works great. Why turn something good over to a company that is doing so poorly?
leave the redbox alone. blockbuster will raise the prices.
I don’t think it will be a reality because from what I underestand, Redbox pretty much breaks even on the video rental end. Their main income comes from leasing the kiosks to retail stores, who uses them as traffic generators. McDonald’s gets two visits for each rental transaction — one to rent the movie, another to return it. That’s TWO chances to sell you a Coke, Coffee, or even bring home dinner.
Someone suggested putting Redbox’s in airports, hotels, etc. That wouldn’t fit their busiess model, as you are already going to be at the airport anyway — having a Redbox there doesn’t lure you to the airport vs. the train station or driving your own vehicle.
Second, having a rental lounge staffed with employees would not work – employees could dispense videos from racks much more inexpensively than costly machines, so you’re back to a plain ol’ retail locaction.
McDonald’s would be very unlikely–at least while there are Redbox’s inside of McDonald’s stores–to allow them to sell drinks, chips, etc, as that would compete with their food business, and if you still had the ability to rent/return anywhere, McDs would be losing traffic generation benefits, while redbox would be competing with them in food sales. McDonald’s at one time saw retailers that sold microwave ovens as competitors, as it was a means for people to get hot food fast, vs. running down the street to the golden arches.
Don’t forget, that most of Redbox’s founders are former McDonald’s executives — While they owe no allegience to McDonald’s, there are undoubtedly many unwritten agreements that exist. Don’t forget that McDonald’s is MUCH larger a corporation than Redbox — they could crush Redbox if they wanted to. This is a company who has been known to buy real estate and open a location and sell dime hamburgers across the street from a licencee that had fallen from favor.
I think that Blockbuster is a dinosaur. As such, it should go the way of dinosaurs. Part of my feeling stems from Blockbuster’s unfriendly treatment of Director’s in the way it arbitrarily edited movies without consent. But also it charges way too much for rentals when there are so many better options such as Redbox and Netflix.
Now Blockbuster wants to buy Circuit City and Redbox? I think Redbox can do better and so can Circuit City. Perhaps they should get together and buy Blockbuster?
if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! i’m very pleased with red box. there are enough movies and the price is right. if blockbuster puts there fingers in the pie; forget about the price and convenience. no to blockbuster!
the idea of having 2 redbox at a location is great.
i would like to see more old clasics..gone with the wind,humphry bogart,jimmy cagney the 30 and 40 movies like tntetc.
I actually think combining an electronics retailer and Circuit City might not be a bad move. Circuit City is in serious need of restructuring, as it really can’t compete with Best Buy.
I really don’t think BBI will try and ruin the convenience of Redbox. Several years ago, BBI purchased an online DVD store based in Phoenix. They actually improved on that company’s offering and came up with a viable competitor to Netflix.
At this point, BBI could buy DVDPlay, The New Release, or any of the other kiosk businesses OR buy Redbox OR start their own.
By getting into home electronics, Blockbuster can cross market DVD/Blu-Ray players for DVD rentals, consoles for game rentals, its STB for Movielink, portable players for Movielink, and televisions to bring it all together. It could put Blockbuster video stores directly into existing Circuit City stores — which would put it a step ahead of Best Buy. Or, it could put Blockbuster-branded kiosks into Circuit City. The Blockbuster stores could tap Circuit City’s inventory for its own stores. The possibilities are limitless.
Oh, and a rental from BBI is cheaper than a rental from Comcast OnDemand … by about 50 cents. Plus, I get 9 (2+7) to 14 days (7+7) to return the movie. Simple as that. Plus, I like to use BBI to acquire hard to find films.
On the surface Redbox is cheaper. $1/night, but I have had my latest rentals since last Tuesday. Guess what? I could have rented the movies for less at Blockbuster.
Guess what? You could have taken them back a lot earlier too…..HELLO!!
NO. i had more trouble with blockbuster and none with you. don’t ruin a good thing. PLEASE!
Please!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All they would do is jack the price up. Don’t mess with this great thing!!!!!!!
It would be a shame to mess up a good thing. There are a lot of people on limited budgets and REDBOX has been a welcome breath of fresh air. To sell to blockbuster would mean the end of a very good thing, because they would raise prices. The old saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” surely applies here.
Please do not sell out to Blockbuster! I’m barely able to make ends meet on a limited income and if it weren’t for Redbox, I wouldn’t be able to rent DVDs at all. With Redbox, I am able to rent a different movie each week for LESS than one single rental from Blockbuster. Four movies for less than the price of one…? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out!
As this country moves further into a recession, every penny counts. Redbox is and will be a godsend for those feeling the financial crunch. Blockbuster executives are well aware they may be out of a job once the recession in “full bloom” so trying to corner the market by having a monopoly is in “their” best interest, not the public’s.
Do not sell out to the “big guys”! Keep Redbox the way it was intended: friendly, affordable and fun!
I feel that they are both different places. Blockbuster has tons of copies of a movie while redbox has only one or two. Sometimes it is hard to get a new movie from redbox because they dont have it. I think it should remain the way it is but redbox should put more machines in even more places.
#1: User goes onto Redbox website (or maybe kiosk-based selection) to select a movie they want to watch which isn’t currently in stock.
#2: Redbox checks other semi-local Redbox locations to see if an existing hard copy could be shipped/brought in within a couple days.
Would not want Blockbuster to buy Redbox. Agree with comments they would just jack up prices and mess things up.
Think the ideas of a Redbox lounge with multiple kiosks or a burn on demand machine for non-stocked titles would be good ideas, but both would require big capital outlays for new equipment or buildings and staff. Living in a town with both video stores going bankrupt within a couple of weeks of each other, I really appreciate the RedBox machines to get just the movies I want when I want them for a minimal rental charge or sometimes for free with a discount code.
No buying of redbox by blockbusters. The media mass monopoly of buying and taking over is getting ridiculously out of hand. One of the viewers is correct in stating that Redbox is friendly affordable and fun. In times of recession this is the only affordable entertainment left.
Blockbuster is a waste. Redbox should never let them buy out. 1st if it’s online renting netflix is better the movies come in about the same time when shipping. however blockbuster is only ships mon-fri netflix is mon- sat. Netflix on the 8 plan i am getting about 16 a week, on blockbuster i was on the 3 unlimited in store plan and still only getting like 5 a week. that’s something else if you have the instore you return it and the next bussiness day they will ship out. That’s not true. On the week end i would have all in and monday 1 would be shipped and tuesday 1 and wednesday 1. sometimes it was friday before they even sent out the one from the weekend. When calling and complianing all they said was sometimes after the weekend we get busy. But a whole week? come on. And if your talking about the in-store deals. On blockbusters unlimited 2 at a time 29.99 there’s one better hollywood video has 3 at a time for 14.99 just not the hot new releases or everything in the store 3 at a time for the same price as blockbuster 29.99. So again blockbuster has been beaten again. with blockbuster i got more cracked dvd in the mail then with netflix and with the store i have gotten more really bad scratched dvd then hollywood video. So in every part of the dvd business blockbuster is a waste of time, there is better and cheaper where ever you look. Even with the instore rewards program which is none like anyone i have found yet, theres still problems. The one free every month you have to have a transaction to get the free one, so buy something. Rent 5 get one well max 2 a month, there’s no trick there. And once you mon, tues, and wed rent one get one, no trick here. each rental costs 4.65 or around that it’s 4.50 plus tax where I go. Ok so if you use your 10 rentals on mon-wed you get 12 after paying for 5 plus the free one which you get after getting something you will pay 46.25 for 23 dvd’s which is 2.01 per disc. Still not as good as renting from redbox. So it a nutshell STAY AWAY FROM BLOCKBUSTER. There’s someone better no mater what you want to do. |
Apple released iOS 9.2 on December 8th, including several bug fixes, features & enhancements including support for AT&T’s NumberSync, iPhone support for Apple’s USB Camera Adapter, support for Mail Drop in Mail, enhancements to Safari View Controller and a lot more.
iOS 9.2.1 was released on January 19th with bug fixes plus security updates.
Apple patched 2 vulnerabilities utilized in the Pangu iOS nine Jailbreak in iOS 9.1, but Pangu staff introduced a brand new model of the device to jailbreak iOS 9.1. Though you cannot utilize Pangu jailbreak to jailbreak iOS 9.2.1 or maybe jailbreak iOS 9.2 on the iPhone of yours, iPad or perhaps iPod touch currently. Additionally you cannot downgrade to iOS 9.1 as Apple has stopped signing iOS 9.1 firmware file.
If you’ve a 32 bit iOS device on iOS 9.1 – iOS 9.3.4, subsequently we’ve some fantastic news for you. iPhone hacker tihmstar has unveiled JailbreakMe 4.0 for iOS 9.1 – iOS 9.3.4.
In case you are a novice to jailbreaking, subsequently the initial browser based JailbreakMe jailbreak created by Comex was among the simplest jailbreaks being released as it enables you to jailbreak the iPhone of yours, iPad or maybe iPod touch using only mobile Safari. It appears to be virtually incredible given the complexities of jailbreaking these days.
If you’ve among the suitable iOS devices on iOS 9.1 – iOS 9.3.4, subsequently everything you have to accomplish is see the JailbreakMe 4.0 site in Safari and tap on the “jailbreak me!” button to jailbreak the iPhone of yours, iPad or maybe iPod touch.
After you have jailbroken your iOS device, then you can untether the jailbreak by adding tihmstar’s repository (Repo URL: http://repo.tihmstar.net/) to your Cydia app and install the Community Offsets and UntetherHomeDepot packages.
Since it is limited to only 32-bit devices, JailbreakMe 4.0 is quite limited, but it is finally great to see the action in the world of jailbreaking.Kudos to tihmstar for releasing one of the easiest jailbreaks for 32-bit iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. |

Does your business have a reverse logistics plan?
The traditional consumption linear supply chain model of the “make, buy, throw away” lifestyle of the 1950’s underwent a societal value shift when governments around the world, recognizing the growing issues with landfills, enacted legislation for waste management.
This resulted in the development of reduce, reuse and recycle programs. Regulations and consumer awareness have businesses adopting reuse and recycling practices and examining the potential value that could be gained from managing product returns.
The same capabilities used in the forward supply chain can’t be leveraged in reverse logistics…reverse logistics requires different processes, technology, capabilities, and expertise. It’s more of a network model.
Reverse supply chain, also referred to as reverse logistics, is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the collection of products and packaging, post-consumer, in order to recover value and optimize potential benefits for the organization. The forward supply chain may use the reverse supply chain to handle problem inventory.
This content is an excerpt from the FITTskills Inventory Management online workshop. Sign up today to learn how to save money and make your business more agile by reducing your amount of idle inventory!
Today’s forward supply chain has grown in complexity with offshoring, outsourcing, strategic procurement and inventory management innovations. This innovative mindset has been applied to an increasingly sophisticated reverse supply chain.
Today’s businesses are obtaining value and changing practices to control what happens to their products after customer/consumer use. Product components or finished products are collected, sorted and returned to suppliers, manufacturers or retailers. Reverse supply chains close the loop with forward supply chains, giving rise to what is now being referred to as circular supply chains.
Effective reverse logistics can also be critically important when organizations need to recall a product. Organizations are obligated to manage product recalls when a product poses an unacceptable risk to consumer health or safety, or fails to comply with legislation, such as labelling. Managing recalls can be costly. A good recall process mitigates risk and maximizes the efficiency of product removal from the market.
Effective product return strategies and programs can result in increased revenues, lower costs, improved profitability and enhanced levels of customer service.
Companies can ensure good customer service and cut the costs associated with product returns by establishing returns policies and strategies.
Suppliers that provide raw materials or components will have products returned because they do not meet the specifications of their customers. Typically, terms of returns of raw materials or components from suppliers are negotiated in procurement contracts.
Reverse logistics involves the process of negotiating, developing and implementing the means for products to be returned for repair, refurbishment, recycling or disposal. In reverse logistics, businesses do not initiate the logistics flow; it is activated by the actions of consumers or other downstream channels.
Organizations must establish a return system that is consistent with business aims in order to optimize resources, manage assets and ultimately ensure profitability.
Organizations must examine the social environment and consider consumer preferences and service expectations. A sustainable return system will include waste reduction strategies, such as redesigned packaging that uses less material and improves on shipping efficiencies, or determining a process that minimizes the number of transit points for return sand identifying returns that can be resold or repurposed.
When an organization accepts a return, it must have a policy for either refunding the price of the product or issuing a credit to be used against future purchases. The policy that is decided on will depend on the organization’s financial status, size, customer and business strategy.
Customers prefer a straight refund, but smaller companies might not be able to provide this, especially if the number of returns in an accounting period is much larger than anticipated.
Where a company is dealing with a large customer, such as a retailer, logging a credit against a future order or making a direct bank transfer are the easiest methods of refunding the cost of the returned products. The actual amounts to be refunded and the refund method must be defined in contracts that are negotiated between companies and the customers they are supplying.
When individual customers must be refunded, the method by which a refund is provided is determined by how the customer paid for the item. Companies may charge a handling or shipping fee. Customers should be informed of this and of the estimated time lag between submitting a product for refund and dispatch of the payment. This lag time will enable the company to examine the product to ensure it was returned legitimately and to process the payment.
Innovations in reverse logistics have some organizations working proactively with customers for asset retirement. These organizations provide opportunities for customers to bring back their old product and receive a payment that can be put towards the purchase of a new product. The retired product can be used for parts or refurbished and resold.

The New York Press – for which I wrote in the late 90s (along with friends such as Scott Nybakken, J.R. Taylor, Dawn Eden, and Daniel Radosh), answering to editor Sam Sifton – is effectively no more, enduring only as a website for multiple publications and a section within the print version of one of those publications. The Village Voice, by then a leftist rag completely devoid of self-awareness or irony akin to The Nation, ran an article calling NYPress a bunch of “P.J. O’Rourke wannabes,” and I hope I had at least some influence on them picking that epithet.
Accurate yet judgmental epithets were exactly what the Voice tended to lack and the Press deployed in abundance. I often told people back then that I liked the Press because, unlike the Voice with its reverent mentions of “the homeless,” the Press was willing to use phrases more like “stinking wino” as necessary. New York City needed that sort of truth-through-gonzo callousness as a substitute for the conservatism it sorely lacked.
For instance, it was twenty years ago today that a car driven by a Jewish man accidentally struck and killed a black child in Crown Heights, sparking three days of rioting. Police under Mayor Dinkins, notoriously, did little but watch – though, astonishingly, he not only still has his defenders, there are even some liberals who are now eager to credit him – Dinkins! – with the precipitous drop in crime since then, since he technically hired future Police Chief William Bratton (doing precious little with him).
By the time I moved to New York City, the place was ready for Giuliani to unleash Bratton and get tough on crime – the reason Giuliani’s even now being talked about as a potential presidential or vice presidential candidate – and the U.S. was ready to hear a liberal, Bill Clinton, denounce criminals and praise cops, talk which had literally been considered mere code for racism for the preceding two decades of New Left-dominated thinking.
Ultimately, the reason some Gen Xers like me (but also some future Clinton fans) had conservative instincts probably had less to do with the Cold War than with the Dirty Harry-like awareness that if our houses were robbed back when we were children, there were people on the left who would sympathize more with the burglars than with us, and, diabolically, who would even work to disarm our parents, making things that much easier for the burglars (this mission failed in the case of my gun-owning older relatives, but they don’t live in heavily-regulated NYC).
I have to look with sorrow, then, upon the UK riots and the Philadelphia flashmobs (and I even feel a bit vindicated in my worried Luddite reaction when I first heard of flashmobs a few years ago, recognizing the danger in – well, mobs). I note that Bratton has now become an advisor to the UK government after being denied a more official post due to his U.S. citizenship mere weeks ago. That’s a start. More important, I think – as always – is rooting solutions in individualism, not communal thinking, despite everything experts tell you to the contrary.
The main reason civilization runs on individualism is that only individuals can be held accountable in any meaningful sense for wrongdoing. Everything else is mere unending tribal warfare. Punish a whole village with curfews, weapons bans, pop-psychology lectures, and police cordons and you create aggrieved innocents (even if you do it in a left-leaning fashion). Taking the even sloppier route of blaming whole ethnic groups (in the worst right-wing fashion) and you justify people thinking that law never had anything to do with justice in the first place and can rightly be ignored.
hypothesized that the very origin of individual consciousness, as opposed to either vigorous but unthinking predatory instinct or passive herd mentality, lay in the careful accounting of wrongs against or by individuals. Ghouls love it when everyone gets blamed indiscriminately for something, just as the class bully would rather see the whole class kept for detention than have his own culpability exposed. The more thoughtful and articulate adult ghouls, similarly, love ideals such as “solidarity” that fend off individual accountability.
•Even my quasi-Marxist friend Josie Appleton sees the failure of her UK home to propose solutions that will truly distinguish between the innocent and the bad actors (read her article “Policing the Innocent, Ignoring the Riotous,” even though I think that brief dig at mercenaries is inappropriate – a libertarian would recognize that mercenaries are usually paid to get results, not just shore up bureaucratic programs). Governments would rather come up with new ways to regulate everyone than do the hard work of spotting the wrongdoers. Left-wing talk of broad social causes plays right into this laziness – but right-wingers who can’t differentiate among a billion Muslims display the same sort of intellectual irresponsibility.
I was disheartened to learn from the Associated Press of your vigorous call yesterday to build an anti-immigration wall along America's southern border ("Michele Bachmann plays up immigration, hits Warren Buffett," August 17).
Surely your commitment to freedom, to free markets, and to an open and vibrant society isn't so tepid that it is dissolved by some perceived need to appease xenophobes and economic ignoramuses whose votes might help you win the GOP's 2012 Presidential nomination.
I must assume, instead, that you really believe that the United States is threatened by Latin Americans seeking to live and work here (for those are precisely the people who would be kept out of the U.S. by the wall you wish to build).
Several weeks ago the Wall Street Journal reported that while vacationing you read the works of the late Ludwig von Mises. That's encouraging. But you should read Mises's works more carefully. In what I believe to be his greatest book -- Liberalism -- Mises writes, "There cannot be the slightest doubt that migration barriers diminish the productivity of human labor."
And in his book Omnipotent Government, Mises notes an even more menacing consequence of tightened immigration restrictions: "The closed-door policy is one of the root causes of our wars."
By obstructing the building of economic and cultural ties that would ever-more-closely bind the United States with Latin America, your wall would not only keep Americans' (and Latin Americans') prosperity from growing over time as much as possible, it would -- both as an awful symbol and as an actual structure -- divide the Americas in ways that dramatically increase the risk of future bloodshed.
I plead with you to reconsider your support for such a wall.
Tear down this wall, Rep. Bachmann.
•Being too quick to lump people into big aggregates is the root cause (if you will) of both socialism and racism, from the kind that produces damaging policies to the kind that just leads to embarrassingly goofy TV commercials like this one.
•Better people should think in terms of economics, which is in an important sense color-blind (as is the scientific method, the other bulwark of my own thinking). But as Stephen Moore writes, with admirable efficiency and brevity, getting people to think in economic terms has been made very difficult by the statist turn in the economics profession itself.
•Even failed senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell is clearly striving to shed her religious-conservative baggage and rebrand herself as a fiscal conservative (you can tell from the transcript that’s why she freaks out and walks out on her interview by Piers Morgan), which I will take as a good sign for the direction of politics in general. Even completely crazy chicks can be useful cultural weather vanes.
Life presents occasional economic educational opportunities. So, tomorrow: a look at the decidedly civil upheaval known as Lemonade Freedom Day.
Maybe I'm being naive, but I think the libertarian effort to de-emphasize borders could eventually appeal to conservatives like Bachmann - with their keen awareness of the fundamental difference between pre-New Deal immigration and immigration today - if people like Boudreaux (and Gary Johnson, for that matter) took the time to explain the logical steps that should be followed to achieve it. Namely, dismantling the welfare state first, then calling for the world's poor and huddled masses sometime after.
It seems dangerous to insert a single component of a comprehensive economic philosophy into an array of entrenched, contradictory programs indiscriminately. Most libertarians understand that complete freedom is a beautiful, cooperative, intricate system of positive feedback loops, but others obviously do not. Vehemently advancing an idea out of turn without explaining how it fits into a larger system (much of which is already an easy sell to conservatives) only undermines libertarian efforts to more closely ally with the right (which I agree with Jonah Goldberg is where libertarians stand the best chance of fighting statism) and thus establish a coalition big enough to significantly slash government and taxes.
In the short term, talking about open borders as a final step might at least convey the lack of necessity for a permanent, King Kong-like wall on our southern border and turn GOP attention to what matters most.
Regarding NY Press - It was a great place for personal essays when I first came to NYC in 1994. I loved reading Jonathan Ames, Amy Sohn, and Ned Vizzini (then a nerdy teenager). Even the letters were pretty interesting. After the 1990s its heyday was over. |

This is the second installment of author Ted Scofield’s series on “everybody else’s biggest problem.” If you missed his introduction to the series, you can read it here. New installments will be posted every two weeks, on Tuesdays.
Greed is an important underlying theme of my novel, Eat What You Kill, and while researching it I stumbled upon two fascinating data sets which launched me on this quest to define greed.
“Greed undoes family and community ties and undermines the very values on which society and civilization are founded,” a physician counseled in Psychology Today.
“Greed is more than simple avarice; greed robs and hurts and even kills people,” Pastor Dwayne Westerman argues.
“Your greed has got to end! Your greed is destroying America, and we are going to end your greed!” Bernie Sanders exclaimed on July 19, 2015, addressing unidentified “billionaires” who were not present at the time.
“Unconstrained greed is the heresy of our times … if it is not restrained, then the consequence could well be the total collapse of the society in which we live,” says British intellectual Stewart Sutherland in his 2014 book Greed.
“Human civilization will collapse unless the greed culture is stopped,” The Telegraph proclaimed.
“Greed, in particular the greed of corporations and billionaire oligarchs, is driving human civilization and the biosphere towards disaster,” we read recently.
Okay, so the politicians, pundits and preachers tell us that greed is B-A-D. Do we commoners agree? A legion of polls suggests we do.
Zogby recently conducted a large benchmark poll in which respondents identified “greed/materialism” as the number one “most urgent problem in American culture.” Number one! Most urgent! “Poverty/economic justice” finished in second place.
In a 2014 Vanity Fair poll, 78% of Americans disagreed with the famous Gordon Gekko quote “Greed is good.” Only 19% agreed. Salon.com recently warned “Wall Street greed refuses to die: How lobbyists & dark-money groups are exposing us to another disaster” and we reject greed as an appropriate motivator: A recent Marist poll revealed that 74% of Americans see business decisions based on greed as morally wrong.
Back in 1992, a national Gallup survey revealed that 75% of Americans believe there is “too much emphasis on money” in our nation. A more recent poll of Economist readers asked “What is the deadliest sin?” and, yes, greed ranked number one.
Finally, we seem to have grown weary and dubious of incessant technology “improvements.” Although Bill Gates once said “Microsoft is not about greed; it’s about innovation and fairness,” for the first time in fifteen years, a 2015 poll recorded a decline in our faith in the motivation for innovation: 30% said it’s intended to improve people’s lives. Fifty-four percent answered “greed.” Did you hear that, Apple? I just bought my iPhone 6S; I don’t need an upgrade just yet.
So, we agree, greed is a problem in our culture, but it is your problem? Are you greedy?
My guess is you’re thinking right now, No, it is not my problem, I am not greedy. Please don’t feel guilty or ashamed if that is your reaction. As Mark Putnam, the President of the Global Ethics University (GEC), says, “Ask anyone the question ‘Are you greedy?’ and most will deny it.” So, if denial is your first reaction, and it’s definitely mine, don’t worry, you’re in good company.
When the BBC conducted a poll on the seven deadly sins (anger, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride and sloth), greed was last on the list in answer to two questions: Which sin have you ever committed? and Which sin have you committed in the past month? Plenty of Brits copped to being lazy, proud, envious and angry. But greedy? Seventh out of seven, last on the list.
Polls on societal or collective greed also flip when made personal. For example, in that national Gallup survey where 75% lamented the emphasis on money, a full 80% said owning a beautiful home, a new car and other nice stuff was absolutely essential or important. When asked why they chose their present vocation, the number one answer was … MONEY.
You don’t really want to know about your and my greed.
If you have to ask, then this song you really need.
It shows up clearly in everybody else.
Levine argues that greed is dangerous because of “the link between greed and destructiveness.” Because greed is indeed destructive, our culture must repress it, must change it into an acceptable form. Greed must become something it is not. Greed must be someone else’s problem. Greed must be denied.
But could it really be that simple? Are we greedy humans in denial of our own avarice? Is James Patterson, the author who has amassed a net worth of $350 million yet rails against greed, in denial? Is denial why we see it in everyone but ourselves?
I don’t think so. How can we deny what we cannot define, what we do not, or will not, understand? I have yet to find half a dozen people who can agree on a generally applicable definition of greed. Unlike anger or lust or sloth or envy, greed defies explanation, hence my current quest.
When analyzing this surprisingly mysterious concept, greed, when attempting to reach a standard definition, eight factors emerge, each more enigmatic than the last, and in the next installment we’ll examine the most obvious of the eight.
Until then, I’ll give you something to ponder.
What is “abundance”? How much is too much?
Guilty as charged. I have never thought of myself as greedy but think many other people are, especially in New York. I think (or thought) greed is a massive problem in our culture but not my own. Time to reevaluate. Great piece!
I hope you will address greed outside of the context of money and material possessions. Can we be greedy in our faith? Can our greed for acknowledgement and attention lead us away from God. Is it greed that possesses us when our time is consumed with a singular motivation? Can greed be good if in fact the entity that is deemed greedy doesn’t hoard but redirects resources it acquires to what it considers its own worthwhile causes, which simply may not be another’s cause but worthwhile nonetheless? Are we greedy if we store grain in anticipation and fear of drought, or greedy if in fact we keep that grain for our progeny because our instincts to protect and provide for our family move within us?
Are greed and ambition the opposite sides of the same coin ? Or, are they in different domains completely? The human capacity for attribution bias seems to fit this context. |

Don't sneak booze into a festival; let the festival come to your booze.
Festivals price-gouging on alcohol has been going on for as long as some evil-genius festival organizer realized that once attendees are inside the event, the fest has a total monopoly on getting them buzzed. As a result, people trying to sneak alcohol into festivals with the rest of their supplies has likely been going on since the day after that discovery. For generations, new and innovative techniques had to be passed down by word of mouth, or scrawled on the back of rolling papers, but nowadays, these tips can be spread immediately through social media—like a Facebook user who documented his success burying some booze on festival grounds before the event was even set up.
In the lead up to New York City's annual Labor Day festival, Electric Zoo, one enterprising young man by the name of Alex Diamond posted his plan for sneaking vodka into the event on Randalls Island. "Three weeks ago we buried a Nalgene bottle full of vodka on the grounds of Electric Zoo before they started putting up the stages," he wrote. "Let's see what happens." If you believe everything you read on social media, and in this case, why not, according to a follow-up post, Diamond proclaimed, "Got it," and including a selfie with his illicitly-acquired booze.
In a separate post on a Facebook page called "Festival Pro Tips," the scheme was outlined more explicitly. "The planning of the burial was simple. We used Google maps and marked our spot on GPS so we knew where it would be. Then we waited," the post states. "The initial part of their plan was allegedly easy. However, Alex admitted they ran into a little trouble once inside the festival." The exact nature of that "little trouble" remains unclear, so needless to say, attempt this trick at your own risk.
Regardless, sneaking vodka by way of some pirate-approved buried treasure plan is still a lot classier than many of the alternatives. Case in point, a story last month where someone was busted trying to sneak a $10 bottle of vodka into a race track hidden inside a giant salami sandwich. |
I am a second year college student in pre-med/biology. What can I do to increase my chances of getting accepted into medical school?
The best thing you can do is focus on getting really good grades and scoring as high as possible on the MCAT.
In addition look into volunteer/leadership activities to make your application stand out. Schools like to see medical volunteering, but it's more important you do something that you are passionate about. These experiences are really great for finding topics to write a personal statement that will catch the reader's eye. |
Why this band has not seen more exposure is completely beyond me. I’m sure there are fans of the band out there, but I have yet to meet one. It amazes me how some bands get record deals and promotion, while Attack isn’t even on the radar screen. If you like Iron Maiden, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, or ‘Keeper’ era Helloween, this band deserves your attention. I realize those three bands are legends in their own rite. Is Attack really worthy of being compared to those great bands? Absolutely.
Attack deliver twelve tracks of epic power metal that will remind you of each of the three above mentioned bands at any given time. The vocals feature a delivery similar to “Land of the Free” era Kai Hansen, but with more range and a richer voice. Rick van Helden’s German accent is quite evident on occasion similar to that of Kai. Above all, Rick has a very melodic voice which only compliments the galloping arrangements on this disc. From start to finish, the guitar riffs are fast and very tight. At times, you feel like you are on the battlefield about to charge into the heat of war with the energy the band creates here. Although the riffs are very fast and intricate, they are also quite melodic, which complemented with Rick’s melodic vocal delivery makes for very catchy songs. Oh, Rick also handles bass guitar duties, and does quite a fine job. He is more than able to keep up with the pounding riffs, keeping the overall sound very well balanced on the low end. If you enjoy dual leads and twin guitar solos, you will not be disappointed as the dual axe attack rips and tears all over this disc, very reminiscent of Iron Maiden at times. Don’t skip the instrumental final track of this disc - you will hear some fantastic guitar work. I have not a single complaint regarding the musicianship on this disc. It is top notch.
While the band certainly hits the head on the nail with the straight forward power driven songs, I am also very impressed with the tracks that start off slow, build gradually, then totally blow you away. One standout track, Blind Man sees a calm start with an acoustic guitar in the background, then explodes into a furious riff that doesn’t let up. Death Rider literally rings in with a loud ominous crash of a bell, backed with an equally ominous acoustic guitar ala Metallica’s Fade to Black, then the anticipation grows with the pluck of the acoustic bass, which in turn gives way to the fury of the dual guitars! Yes! This is not only one of the standout tracks on this disc, but one of my favorite all time tracks as well.
So, if you enjoy a good dose of double bass, dual leads, twin guitar solos, speedy and intricate riffs, and some great melodies, by all means get this disc! Each of the band members are very talented, but more importantly, the chemistry of the band is dead on. The rhythm section keeps the pace moving along to accommodate the ever present speedy riffs, yet stays very melodic. I am blown away each and every time I listen to this CD. |

Who really influences K-12 education? There are a host of potential answers; the Department of Education sets national policies, the states set education standards, and your local school board makes decisions around curriculum. This question is also complicated by the financial crises many school districts are suffering.
School districts across the country are having difficulty supplying quality services to their students thanks to these financial difficulties, harming student success in the short and long term. This problem plagues districts nationwide and not a single state or district has been able to completely solve it. In recent years, wealthy individuals have attempted to fill these funding gaps and have become powerful influencers in education themselves. These philanthropists are attempting to use their wealth to advance their conception of “better” education.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have invested hundreds of millions of dollars into education through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Other philanthropists such as Paul Tudor Jones II, use their resources to expand charter school programs via private foundations. While at first glance these efforts seem as though they are providing great benefit schools and students, there are a number of potential issues to consider.
Injecting money into schools is not a sure way to create positive change. In 2009, Zuckerberg attempted to funnel more than $100 million into the Newark, New Jersey school system. Governor Chris Christie, then-mayor Cory Booker, and Mark Zuckerberg worked together to create a reform plan. Their efforts were rejected by the community and overall failed to fix the Newark school system. It also lead to a host of firings and school closures, all of which resulted in no significant reforms implemented in Newark schools.
The Gates Foundation attempted a similar plan that year in Hillsborough County, Florida, allocating $100 million to boost student performance by increasing educational evaluation measures and rewarding teacher performance. However, six years later, the district’s budget has ballooned to levels they can not handle, creating mixed results in student performance, and prompting the foundation to withhold the last $20 million. Additionally, the Gates Foundation required the county match the $100 million the foundation donated, which further hurt the plan’s chances of success.
These philanthropists do not just invest directly in schools, but have also founded or donated to education organizations. These groups can provide needed services to communities where school have fallen short, but schools must be wary of potential pitfalls when they are approached with possible million-dollar donations.
Large scale funding efforts like these need smart implementation plans to be effective. However, many districts and organizations are just not equipped to use funds effectively and these extra resources may end up causing more harm than good.
In Newark, $50 million was allocated to revamp educator evaluation tools and to fire underperforming teachers, but the district had little ability to do so as the state legislature had set rules around removing teachers. Schools were also closed as a result of this plan, but the district had not set up a good strategy for relocating students to open schools, leading to many students to have to travel long distances through dangerous neighborhoods to get to class.
Hillsborough administrators hoped to use some of the funds to raise salaries for high-performing teachers, while funneling those same educators into high needs schools. Most of this money instead went to longtime teachers, regardless of their effectiveness as educators, who continue to work in stable schools.
In both of cases, the vast amount of money that was raised did result significant institutional changes, with hundreds of educators and administrators losing their jobs thanks to curriculum and service changes, and yet students did not end up better off.
Not all funding comes with no strings attached. Gifts of money can have wide-ranging impacts on policies and organizations. Donors may want to push their own beliefs on what education should be, which may not always be the best for students or a community. Funding often comes with provisions that recipients must follow, giving donors a means of exerting control.
Philanthropists aren’t just donating directly to schools, they’re also attempting to change educational politics. Earlier this year, the Los Angeles Board of Education elections had its most expensive election ever, with nearly $15 million spent campaigning for board seats. Nearly two-thirds of this money was raised by organizations and individuals supporting new charter schools, which Los Angeles had historically been kept out. Thanks to these efforts, including millions donated by Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, the majority of the LA Board of Education now members support charter schools.
We rightly get upset when we hear about billionaires like the Koch Brothers or Warren Buffett who spend millions of dollars to lobby for certain laws and policies, but shouldn’t we also be concerned when equal amount of private funds are invested in schools all while promoting certain programs or viewpoints?
Supporting education can be a worthwhile project for philanthropists, but organizations and communities need to be cautious about these endeavors. The infrastructure of a district or school may not be robust enough to use this money adequately. Those giving large swaths of their fortunes may have their own personal agendas which they push through these donations. They are not always giving support without ulterior motives.
While more funding can do a lot of good for students and our U.S. schools desperately need the money, the potential hidden costs and negative externalities involved demand debate. Stakeholders must ensure that these efforts actually improve education and that the rich are not using charity to hijack education policy. Districts, schools, and communities must consistently question these philanthropic efforts and work to prevent some of damage to education that have befallen other areas of American policy.

This coffee recipe came to me after my shopping trips in search of good coffee. Wanted to buy flavored coffee, but with flavour.
In our stores now sell many different varieties of flavored coffee. But, basically, they use artificial flavors. And it came to me, like a revelation, because I could go home myself to do. Therefore, today we will cook a real orange coffee.
Coffee, orange zest, salt, grind in a coffee grinder, then put it all in Turku, pour cold water and cook on a medium heat until the foam will not rise (should not boil). Remove from heat, allow to stand for 2-3 minutes and pour in a Cup(which should be pre-heated),filtering through a strainer, otherwise you will come across little bits of zest. Add sugar or honey to taste. |

The Township of Ocean School District shall provide Health Benefits through the School Employee Health Benefits Program (SEHBP).
Due to the changes to Health Insurance per Chapter 2 P.L. 2010 that are charged vary with each employee. Please check with Personnel for the cost of insurance. Premiums change every January 1st.
Open enrollment is held every October with any changes effective January 1st of the next year. There is a 60 day waiting period for all new employees.
* Please note-If you have a dependent that has turned 23 during the year, they will automatically be continued on the medical and prescription coverage until age 26 but if you want your dependent to continue the dental insurance, they have to apply for COBRA Coverage. They must apply no later than 60 days after the end of the year.
There are many plans within the State Health Benefits that are available to all employees. See the State Website for all of your options.
The Board of Education shall provide a prescription drug insurance plan. The co-pay is $5.00 generic mail-in, $15.00 brand name mail-in(90 day supply), $3.00 for all generic claims retail and $10.00 for allbrand name claims retail with no annual deductible. The Board reserves the right to change the current carrier for a comparable program from another provider. Separate cards are issued for the prescription plan.
a) Dependents are covered as detailed under medical coverage.
b) Cards are issued for Dental coverage.
2. A child with a mental or physical disability may be continued in this program after the age of 23 as long as he/she remains incapacitated and unmarried, subject to the continuance of the employee'sown coverage in this program.
3. Claim forms are available in the Personnel Office or at the office of the building principal.
4. The Dependents to age 31 program does not apply to Dental coverage.
A "child" is defined as an enrollee's child until age 26, regardless of the child's marital, student, or financial dependency status - even if the young adult no longer lives with his or her parents.
Coverage will be extended to eligible children through December 31 of the year they turn age 26.
2. After the age of 26, dependents are eligible for the Dependent to Age 31 Program (Chap 375) for medical and prescription only, dental is excluded. Dependents can stay on this group until they turn 31 (specifically the 1st of the month following their 31st birthday). They can also enroll later if they lose coverage elsewhere as long as the parent is enrolled in our group. The monthly premium for the dependent to age 31 group is approximately 60% of the single premium for medical and prescription program.
3. Dependents are covered under dental until the end of the year in which they turn 23. After the age of 23 dependents are eligible for dental under COBRA, and the dental can be continued for up to 36 months only. The monthly premium for the dental is 102% of the single dental premium. Application for COBRA dental must be made with 60 days of the end of the year in which the dependent turns 23.
The Federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, (COBRA), gives employees, spouses, and dependent children currently enrolled under the Township of Ocean Board of Education's health benefits program, the opportunity to purchase continued health benefits for a limited period of time after a COBRA qualifying event occurs - (18 months for employee, 36 months for dependents). COBRA applies to employees and dependents who would otherwise lose coverage as a result of a COBRA qualifying event.
It is the responsibility of the employee to notify Patty DeAngelis for medical prescription and dental of a COBRA event as listed in items 3,5, and 6 (above) within 60 days of the event. The COBRA participant pays 100% of the cost plus an additional 2% administrative fee.
A qualifying event (changes) such as marriage, birth of a child, divorce, separation, number of dependents, or child attaining age 26 must be reported to Patty DeAngelis within 30 days of the event for change in coverage to take effect.
HIPAA: The privacy and security of medical records of each individual employed with the Township of Ocean School District isguaranteed under the federal and state HIPAA legislation. This means that any and all medical providers, insurance companies, and the Ocean Township School District must protect your right to medical privacy.

While it is possible to brush amazingly well with a soft, manual toothbrush- many of us tend to lapse a little with our technique, or the time we spend cleaning- especially when we're busy rushing out the door in the morning!
We see the difference electric toothbrushes can make daily in terms of improving gum health and preventing tooth decay. Electric brushes make accessing around hard to reach areas much easier, and inclusions like pressure sensors and timers help to keep your brushing on track. The new ones even come with an app you can put on your smartphone that tracks your brushing throughout the month, and awards you five stars for brushing well!
When purchasing an electric toothbrush, it is really worth investing in something high quality. The supermarket electric brushes just aren't going to give you the same result as something with more features.
Our favourites are the Braun/ Oral B brushes; either the new Smart Series models, the Oral B Black or the Triumph.
Please let us know if you have any questions regarding electric toothbrushes, and happy brushing! |

ICH Q10 was published in its final version already in 2008. However, today many companies still have problems to understand how to implement ICH Q10 "Pharmaceutical Quality System" in practice. Quality Assurance and GMP are basic requirements which have been implemented for many years in the pharmaceutical industry (including the API industry). So what is needed to demonstrate that a Pharmaceutical Quality System has been implemented?
ICH offers a set of questions and answers which provide more details about the expectations. They were published in 2009 already but are not well-known by the industry. ICH writes: "When implemented, a company will demonstrate the use of an effective PQS through its documentation (e.g., policies, standards), its processes, its training/qualification, its management, its continual improvement efforts, and its performance against pre-defined key performance indicators (see ICH Q10 glossary on performance indicator). A mechanism should be established to demonstrate at a site how the PQS operates across the product lifecycle, in an easily understandable way for management, staff, and regulatory inspectors, e.g., a quality manual, documentation, flowcharts, procedures. Companies can implement a program in which the PQS is routinely audited in-house (i.e., internal audit program) to ensure that the system is functioning at a high level."
The questions and answers document also states that there is no certification program in place for a Pharmaceutical Quality System. In addition, ICH provides information about how product-related inspections will differ in an ICH Q8, Q9 and Q10 environment. ICH writes: "In the case of product-related inspection (in particular, preauthorization) depending on the complexity of the product and/or process, greater collaboration between inspectors and assessors could be helpful (for example, for the assessment of development data). The inspection would normally occur at the proposed commercial manufacturing site, and there is likely to be greater focus on enhanced process understanding and understanding relationships, e.g., critical quality attributes (CQAs), critical process parameters (CPPs). The inspection might also focus on the application and implementation of quality risk management principles, as supported by the pharmaceutical quality system (PQS)."
In addition to ICH, regulatory authorities also provide further information. The British Authority MHRA, for example, answers the question: Should a company have a procedure to describe how it approaches QRM related to manufacture and GMP? The answer is: "Yes, the procedure should be integrated with the quality system and apply to planned and unplanned risk assessments. It is an expectation of Chapter 1 that companies embody quality risk management. The standard operating procedure (SOP) should define how the management system operates and its general approach to both planned and unplanned risk management. It should include scope, responsibilities, controls, approvals, management systems, applicability, and exclusions."
The ECA Academy summarised the most relevant questions and answers from regulators like ICH, EMA, FDA etc in a GMP Questions & Answers Guide which allows readers of the document to search for certain GMP questions. A subject index at the beginning of the document lists the most frequent searched terms. |

A very honest review of my experience hiring Dino Encounters for my son's 3rd bday party. Pros: owner was accommodating to the late RSVP I made. She was responsive. The dinos are cool. Cons: Too much talk and explanation, not enough hands on activities. The kids were very anxious, they wanted to touch the dinos (fyi, some dinos can not be touched). It was too long and not interactive enough. Presenter was not patient enough with the kids, I got complaints from parents saying she was being too harsh. This is not the type of experience I wanted for my guests. I paid for $670 for the entire thing (includes mileage fee) and it put a damper on my party. I do not recommend the activities, probably just stick to renting the dinos themselves. Tips: If you are having the activities make sure to have a good shaded area, no water activities near by.
Yesterday was my sons 2nd birthday and we had a dino theme party. Keri and her husband are the best they are so personable and friendly. First their costumer service was amazing they always kept in contact with me and just made it easier for me planning my sons birthday , you know planning your kids birthday party you always have to make sure every vendor is on the same page and they just made it one less call because how attentive they are. Second they came to the party and the kids and adults were so amazed on how realistic there dinosaurs look. Also Keri presentation was awesome kids loved it and were so amused with the real fossils and poop ahaha! Lastly Keri and her husband were just very genuine nice people and were a hit at my sons party ! We definitely recommend them to any kids dino birthday party it just adds that bang ! And they were def. the talk of the town ! We love Dino Encounters!!!
Had Dino encounters come to my sons 2nd birthday! The kids loved interacting with Rocky! We had a big party and everyone was able to take pictures with Rocky! Thanks Dino encounters for a great birthday!
WOW. Just wow! Ms Keri and her crew of dinosaurs were incredible. Everyone had the best time and the kids all enjoyed themselves even with the hot weather. When Ms Keri, her helper, and the crew of dinosaurs arrived, they were very considerate and professional. Although there was a very tiny miscommunication, Ms Keri was able to figure it out and arrive at the party earlier than the set time! Ms Keri was super attentive to my daughter (the birthday girl) during the baby triceratops hatching and the interactive show about dinosaurs; she even allowed plenty of time for pictures. Most of the kids were under the age of 4 and were so interested with the whole event aside from the dinosaur rides. Everything from start to finish was more than I could have ever expected from a Dinosaur event company! Everyone was amazed at my daughter's 3rd birthday party but now I need to find out how to top this one next year!
Our Elementary School had Dino encounters come and do two assemblies and they were AMAZING!! The students were enthralled with all the "real" dinosaurs-they looked fantastic! Of course the T-REX Rocky was the hit!!! Keri is so knowledgeable about dinosaurs-she even taught the teachers a bunch! She is very organized and professional! As a teacher I highly recommend Dino Encounters for your school or party. You won't be disappointed!!! Awesome Job!
Dino Encounters ended my grandsons birthday Jurassic Park theme party with a bang.They fought through traffic texting me with updates on ETA every 1/2 hour.Rocky was the hit of the party. Can't say enough about Keri kindness and her husband entertainment with the Q & A during the show.They really do a great job.Thank you guys once again.
Dino Encounters came to Pasadena Public Library in July. It was one of the best programs we have EVER had. Rocky is a STAR! He had to walk down the street to get in while cars were screeching to a stop to see the dinosaur on the sidewalk. Keri easily handled a crowd of 150+ and gave them an unforgettable morning. This is a totally unique performance. Everyone of every age loved it.
My wife found Dino Encounters while researching ideas for my two sons' (ages 3 and 1) joint dinosaur themed birthday party. We were a little bummed that we didn't have enough space at our party for the big dinosaur, BUT even without that, the presentation and activities they provided were awesome! We had a diverse age range of kids from 1 to 13 who were all very captivated by the demonstrations provided which were both educational and loads of fun. The kids got to put together dinosaur bone puzzles, chisel and use other scientific methods to extract dinosaurs from fossil eggs, make shark tooth necklaces, witness a dinosaur egg hatch, and watch a volcano explode. The kids got to take these necklaces and the dinosaurs the excavated home wit them. As I mentioned we didn't have room for the large dinosaur, but they provided two smaller puppets, one of which hatched from the egg which amazed a lot of the young ones. The kids were able to take some cute pictures with the realistic baby dinosaurs. Overall Dino Encounters was worth every penny and helped make our sons' birthday memorable for all. We live in San Diego, so there was some mileage charges, but all reasonable. Our party had a lot of adults too, which caused a lot of ambient conversation noise. At times it was difficult to hear if you weren't close enough, but despite that Keri did a fantastic job interacting with the all kids. I would recommend a quiet space or some kind of microphone and PA system depending on your situation. Another positive, Dino Encounters kept the kiddies so busy, the parents had a nice little break to enjoy the party.
I found Dino encounters thru Craig's list then came across their website and let me tell you all booking them was the best experience ever!!! I booked then for my sons 5th birthday and I'm sure it'll be one he never forgets! :) I'm huge when it comes to Yelp reviews so I'd thought I'd share some in site for people interested in booking rocky for your next event! :) right when I submitted a request online for info I got a call within 15-20 min!! They're truly the nicest people I've ever met. The kids loved every activity they did and when rocky came it was 20xs more enjoyable! Bottom line I could guarantee you would not be disappointed!! Thank you sssooooooo much again Dino encounters!!
We had "Rocky" at a corporate event last week and every adult there had a great time. Rocky posed with the staff for Selfies and put a lot of smiles on everyone face. Rocky isn't just for kids. We would not hesitate to have Rocky back. 5 stars from us!
rocky the dino was great ,everyone had a great time ,the crafts and games were fun and amazing. we would do this again !!
My son and his guests had an amazing time! I mean, seriously, how cool is having a walking and roaring dinosaur at your birthday party?!!! Even our adult guests had a blast. The kids were highly entertained, occupied the whole time and my favorite part, as a teacher, the education! We had the party out in the front yard and Rocky the dinosaur literally slowed down traffic. People from down the block came to see the dinosaur. So cool! Definitely an experience to remember forever! If you have a kid who is even mildly into dinosaurs, I highly recommend using Dino Encounters. |

WHAT SHOULD THE PRIORITIES BE FOR A 21ST CENTURY ADVISOR?
1) The client comes first. A 21st Century advisor should ALWAYS put the client’s interest first. This sounds like an obvious thing to say, but far too often advisors are putting their own needs ahead of the client.
Far too often advisors are blindly taking the recommendation of IMOs (Insurance Marketing Organizations) which typically results in higher commissions and/or sub-standard products sold at the expense of the client.
Far too often advisors are following the overly restrictive and narrow recommendations put forth by their B/D (Broker/Dealer). The next B/D I find that puts the client’s interests first will be the first B/D I find that does so.
2) Professional competency. A 21st Century advisor will not be like many of his/her predecessors. Old school advisors didn’t always need to know what they were doing. They were selling or peddling products to clients who didn’t know if what they were buying was good or bad and bought mainly because they trusted the advisor.
With the advent of the internet and with clients being able to do their own research and get second opinions quickly and easily, it is imperative that agents are professionally competent so they know what they are offering or selling is always in the client’s best interest.
3) Comprehensive planning. A 21st Century advisor will provide comprehensive solutions to clients vs. just selling them products or sticking them in a typical investment platform. Advisors who provide comprehensive solutions will not only give better advice to clients, but they will also earn significantly more income and retain clients for a much longer period of time (not to mention referrals from existing clients will increase dramatically).
There is only one way to give comprehensive planning and that’s by not only being an insurance agent, but also having a securities license (preferably by passing the Series 65 exam as you’ll read about in various parts of the book).
4) Marketing expertise. 21st Century advisors will not only know how to market, but they will be armed with the “needed” tools that will allow them to market like they never imagined they could. A significant portion of this book will focus on marketing in the 21st Century.
Just to needle readers a little in this preface, I’ll ask the following simple but telling question. How many of the following marketing tools do you have and do you regularly use?
-CRM (Customer Relations Management system).
-Landing Page Creator (being able to quickly and easily create sign up pages for live use on the internet).
-Risk analyzer software (one that can determine a client’s investment risk tolerance).
-PFM (Personal Financial Management) software (a customer portal where clients can see “all” their financial information (bank accounts, mortgage, brokerage accounts, cash value life insurance, etc.)).
-Financial Planning Software (one that incorporates the use of Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs), cash value life, brokerage accounts, cash flow management, debt elimination, etc.).
While I know that 99.9% of those reading this book do not use or have access to all of the above marketing tools, 100% do not have access to a system that integrates all six programs into one cohesive system (you will learn about such a system later in the book).

He doles out hugs like they’re candy. In fact, he doles out candy too. And Pop Tarts, Wheat Thins and ramen noodles. He lets students eat, hang out, and listen to music in his middle school band room during lunch. He once gave a student rides to early morning Big Band rehearsals when her suddenly-widowed mother couldn’t. He often shouts at his musicians—ages 11 through 14—when their playing offends his musical sensibilities. At least once a year, he kicks members of his Big Band out of the band room if he thinks they haven’t been putting in their best effort.
… In an era when teachers are often expected to soften their language so as not to offend, to keep physical distance from students, and to refrain from raising their voices, Clark is an outlier. However Southborough parents, students, and fellow teachers laud Clark’s teaching techniques, particularly as he applied them in the year after Green died. |
File extension .HYM | File format .HYM | How to open a .HYM file format?
If the .HYM file is known to your system, it is possible to open it by double clicking the mouse or pressing ENTER. This operation will start applications associated with the .HYM file installed on your system. If the system encounters a file for the first time and there are no relevant associations, the action will end with a system’s proposal to find the appropriate software on your computer or in the Internet.
Sometimes it happens that the files of the .HYM type a wrong program is assigned. This can sometimes be the result of the action of hostile programs such as viruses and malware, but most often it is the result of an incorrect association of an application with the .HYM file extension. If, during the operation of a new type of .HYM files, we will indicate to the system a wrong program, the system will erroneously suggest its use every time it encounters this type of file. In this case, try to re-select the appropriate application. Right-click on the .HYM file, and then select from the menu the option "Open With ..." and "Choose default program" . Now select one of the installed application from the list above and try again.
If our system cannot cope with the .HYM extension and all the automatic and semi-automatic methods to teach it have failed, we can only manually edit the Windows registry. This register stores all information about the operation of your operating system, including file extension associations with programs to support them. The REGEDIT entered in the window "search for programs and files" or "run" for older versions of the operating system, gives the access to the registry of the operating system. All operations performed in the registry (even those little complicated for the .HYM file extension) have a significant impact on the operation of our system, therefore, before any modifications, make sure that you have a copy of the current registry. The section important for us is the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT . This manual shows step by step how to modify the registry, specifically the entry in the registry that contains information about .HYM file.
Using the keyboard shortcut ctr + F or the Edit menu and by selecting "Find" look for the .HYM extension you are interested in by typing it in the search window. Confirm by clicking OK or by using the ENTER key.
The value you are interested in concerning the extension can be edited by making manual changes in the keys assigned to the .HYM extension found. Here you can also create your own entry with the .HYM extension if there is no such in the registry. All available options are listed in the context menu (right mouse button) or in the "Edit" menu after placing the cursor in the appropriate place on the screen.
After finishing editing an entry for the .HYM extension, close the system registry. The changes made will come into effect after rebooting the operating system. |

My dear friend Natalie Norton and her family have shaped my life so distinctly. Nothing crazy out of the ordinary, but just being around them, being loved by them and sharing life with them has blessed my heart more than words can explain. Today my heart is full of Natalie. I wanted to do something for her. Yes, these are blurry. Yes these are screen shots from video clips. But they are perfect. They are love. They are hope. They are peace.
Nat and Richie your perseverance and trust in the Lord despite the most trying circumstances shows me love, hope and peace. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy 3rd Birthday Gavin, your life has served and IS serving SUCH a purpose.
Beautifully done Gina! Your work speaks for itself. Hugs to Natalie and Richie and their family on Gavin’s birthday today.
Hi G: the photos are perfect. End of story. What a truly wonderful friend you are.
Oh Gina. I love you so much. You are such a faithful, kind, loyal, supportive friend. What did I do before I had you in my life? I don’t know what I would do without you . |

The Eurozone economy continues to make headway as the economy in the single bloc currency grew to a 6 year high in February, according to the latest PMI data from IMS Markit released on February 21.
The latest data from Markit is flattering.
"Job creation was the best seen for nine and a half years, order book growth picked up and business optimism moved higher, all boding well for the recovery to maintain strong momentum in coming months."
Germany and France saw new orders rise at the steepest past since May 2011.
Germany's upturn was spurred on by manufacturing while France saw the biggest jump in service activity.
So the Business optimism detected towards the end of 2016 appears to be now building momentum in early 2017, despite all the political uncertainty in the bloc.
However, political uncertainty in Europe is being played out in the foreign exchange market with the Euro dipping below $1.05.
It might be prudent for traders/investors to keep their optimism in check. In a few words, the Euro is likely to face one of its biggest challenges since its conception with the French elections 7 May fast approaching. Should far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen secure election victory traders/investors could be staring down the barrel of a financial apocalypse. Le Pen wants to leave the EU and the Euro. But that might be the catalyst for a financial fusion (meltdown) starting with the almost certain collapse of the Euro, then peripheral spreads blow up, next, the collapse of Deutsche Bank with $46 trillion derivatives exposure. If DB (Europe's largest bank) goes down the drain who will honour its derivative losses (which could amount to $ trillions). Put another way the other banks on the other side (winning side) of DB trades could be left holding worthless paper.
DB is too big to fail but equally, it's too big to save, even for (cash strapped) governments.
In other words, a Le Pen victory could be the financial fusion that blows the collateral chains off the European banking system.
So with the stakes so high a rigged French election looks likely, unless the “fixers” are planning a reset and need an excuse.
No doubt the secretive Bilderberg Group would be able to write the conclusion, frankly, the rest of us are all left speculating.
The EU CPI reading for January is scheduled for toady. Fears of deflation in the eurozone are well behind in the rear mirror and the ECB target of 2% now looks like a reality. The depreciation of the euro and recovery of oil prices could all add to a higher inflation reading.
It is an unusual cocktail of optimism, relatively upbeat data mixed with political turmoil. Indeed, Even U.K. Q4 GDP has been revised up to 0.7% from 0.6% preliminary, despite the risk of Brexit.
Across the pond, the Trump administration is locked in a bitter fight with Intel, mainstream media and the globalist elites (the shadow government). Nevertheless, household and business optimism remains buoyant. New job creation in the US is an under-reported story.
Thousands of new auto jobs are expected in west Alabama for current and future automotive parts suppliers for companies like Mercedes-Benz US International.
“There's a couple of new suppliers building plants just down the street from us. That's going to provide more employment opportunities for the local area," according to MBUSI President and CEO Jason Hoff. Those jobs are expected to come available in the next 18 to 24 months.
Thousands of automotive jobs are coming to west Alabama but to get those jobs, you will require technical skill and training.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian said in a statement Thursday that the Atlanta-based company is growing its ranks as it expands and upgrades its hubs at several of the nation's airports. Hiring could be contingent on the support of the government in establishing "a level playing field."
Just a year ago the company laid off 700 workers at the shipyard due to diminishing workload.
The shipbuilder is seeing an increase in contracts (business is cyclical) that started end of September, so they are hiring.
For the latest job hiring stories (that the mainstream likes to under-report) see the link below.
It is still early days to know the full impact of Trump's policies but it's fair to say (remaining apolitical) so far, so good. Time will tell.
Will Trump Smash the Fed?

When your smartphone starts acting up and when nothing seems to help, what do you do? Owners of future HTC smartphones will have an easy way out of such a scenario. That is because HTC and LogMeIn have partnered up in delivering remote diagnosis and assistance services to HTC Android smartphones.
Future HTC Android devices will come with the LogMeIn Rescue software pre-loaded. Upon request, an HTC user will be able to have their smartphone diagnosed and configured remotely by an HTC care representative in order to resolve technical issues. Doing so would be possible regardless of where in the world the user is located, as long as the device in question is connected to the internet. All communication between the HTC smartphone and the service representative will be done over a secure connection.
For more details, we have embedded the full press release below, so check it out if you are interested. Unfortunately, the list of devices that will come with LogMeIn Rescue pre-loaded has yet to be announced.
WOBURN, Mass., March 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc. (Nasdaq:LOGM) has entered into an agreement as HTC's preferred mobile remote support software provider. HTC will employ LogMeIn Rescue—LogMeIn's flagship remote support and customer care offering—across its worldwide call centers, delivering state-of-the-art remote support to HTC customers.
Future HTC devices that run on the growing Android OS will feature LogMeIn Rescue, giving HTC customer care and support staff the ability to remotely configure, diagnose and troubleshoot a technical issue wherever the customer has a data connection. The LogMeIn capability will offer HTC customers with advanced over-the-air mobile support at a moment's notice, virtually anywhere in the world.
"HTC is committed to providing the best and most personal customer experience in the mobile industry, from designing great products to delivering superior after-sales service and support," said Simon Harper, VP of global customer experience at HTC. "We believe LogMeIn's technology, team and vision are a great match for HTC and for our customers and will allow us to continue to create great experiences for our customers."
HTC will pre-deploy a user-enabled LogMeIn Rescue applet on future HTC Android devices, with the mobile operator's consent. The pre-deployed applet gives customers the ability to securely connect their devices to HTC customer care representatives during active support calls. Once connected, HTC technicians can run remote diagnostics, push common device and network configuration settings, and remotely control the customer's device to resolve issues.
"We believe that a focus on the overall customer experience helps to define the most respected brands in mobile," said Lee Weiner, LogMeIn's VP of Customer Care products. "For market leaders like HTC, customer care initiatives can provide key opportunities for differentiation in an increasingly crowded marketplace. By working hand-in-hand with one of the world's most respected manufacturers, we believe we have a great opportunity to create a new standard for mobile customer care."
LogMeIn Rescue gives helpdesks and support staff the ability to remotely configure, diagnose and troubleshoot tablets (iOS, Android), smartphones (Android, iPhone, Symbian, BlackBerry) as well as PCs and Macs. A web-based offering, Rescue combines remote control with device configuration, live chat and diagnostics capabilities, enabling customer service teams to fix common issues on any device with a web or mobile connection, as if the device were in their hands.
First of all: first. Also, love the misleading title: "HTC smartphones" - I own a Radar, what now.
Wonder if this LogMe IN will also work like Carrier IQ gathering more info than needed?
you know what,that is a very good question i hope they have a very good answer for that!
People, I have used LMI for several years, it's just like PC Anywhere or any other remote-control software.....it's wonderful. Relax, everything will be just fine. Breath in.....breath out. I'd rather have the option of having a "skilled technician" try to fix my phone remotely versus sending it in for a refurb. After replacing a few phones earlier this year, I can tell you how much of a total pain in the @ss to set them up again. |

I've also decided to find the perfect pastel paper. In the past (many, many years ago) I used the usual Canson Mi-Teinte paper. I thought it was fun for sketching, and giving my paintings a lot of texture.
But, being a detail freak (I think I've mentioned this before!), I also enjoyed smooth surfaces to add lots of details. So I followed a friend's advice, and started drawing on framing mats. Afteral, they're acid free, and have a toothy surface, but they are smooth enough for pastels to blend well on them. They're also great for charcoal. I also loved that they were thicker than paper. So I did a few portraits on them and had a blast. The problem was, though, that they didn't hold very many layers of pastels. So I had to adjust my painting style, and I found that the surface held just enough pastels to get the results I wanted.
After a hiatus of about 8 years with no pastel work at all, but more art experience, I realized there were so many more choices out there.
In a previous post, I showed a new painting done on Clairefontaine Pastelmat. It was a great way to get reacquainted with soft pastels. This support is very soft. It doesn't feel like sand paper to the touch, and yet, can hold many layers of pastels. What I enjoyed the most was that when using pastel pencils, they seemed to blend in as I was applying them, making it unnecessary to use a utensil or my fingers to do the blending. I didn't need to apply very much pastel to get vibrant colors either. So the paper doesn't "eat" pastels or pastel pencils like some others do, and therefore you don't end up with a lot of pastel residue either, which is a very positive aspect of my experiment with Pastelmat paper. I worked on a 4x6" paper, and found it pretty easy to add details with the pastel pencils since I didn't have to worry about the blending. The other side of the paper feels like it's covered with some kind of waterproof coating. I haven't tried it, but it's supposed to be a good paper for underpainting washes.
After having so much fun with my sunflowers, it was time to try a new paper. I chose a piece of Art Spectrum Colourfix paper. I've never really tried painting animals with soft pastels, so I thought I'd try that on a 9x12" piece. Colourfix paper comes in many different colors. Actually, so does the Pastelmat, although not quite as many as Colourfix. The surface feels rough, very much like sand paper. It's pretty thick, and is also supposed to take wet underpaintings well.
My experience with the Colourfix paper is very different than with the Pastelmat. Because of the rougher surface, I do have to blend the pastels with my fingers. I tried with a few different tools, like a stump, and a rubber blender, but it tends to take some of the colors off, and make them look faded. I tried a cotton swab, but since the paper is so toothy, it kind of ripped the cotton off the tip. So, to me, the only way to make the colors look vibrant is to use my fingers to blend, and be very gentle, using more like a patting motion. Colourfix paper takes quite a few layers of pastels, but again, depending on how you blend them, you might end up pulling some color off the paper. I found that it's pretty rough on the pastels and pastel pencils, leaving a lot of dust. So I've been working on small areas and not blowing the powder off, but rather, patting it down when I blend the colors. I'm far from being done with this new painting, and I'm not enjoying it as much as if I'd used a piece of Pastelmat paper. The rough surface doesn't work as well for my style, and I have to work more, and be more careful. But I think it would be great for someone with a looser technique.
Stay tunned as I'll be posting new updates of this work in progress as well as new paper experiments with the Canson Touch paper and the Ampersand Pastelbord.

Have you ever thought to send your young sailor abroad to sail on foreign waters?
The North American Station of the Royal Scandinavian Yacht Clubs and Nylandska Jaktklubben sponsors a summer exchange program that allows young sailors from Scandinavia to sail and race in America and young Americans to sail and race in Scandinavia.
They invite junior sailors, ages 15-18 to apply for the opportunity to live with a family for approximately two weeks during the summer, sail on foreign waters and to spend time with a Scandinavian or American teens with whom they share the common interest of sailing. |

The Sri Lanka Women’s sevens Rugby team lost a possible Bronze medal by not participating at the 18th Asian Games rugby sevens held from August 30-September 1 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
According to reliable sources, the rugby administrators were unable to convince the Sports Ministry and the NOC when initial discussions took place for selections of teams and individual events.
Sources further revealed that no representative of the Sri Lanka Rugby (SLR) attended the deciding meeting that may have otherwise had the opportunity for the women’s rugby team to see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, it seemed that in a bid to absolve itself from the blunder and the chaotic situation, the SLR kept on stating that they are hoping to send the team but it never materialized.
What was really baffling was the comment made to the media by one of the top ranked SLR officials, where he said: “When it comes to such high profile tournaments, the Ministry of Sports is funding only the teams which have clear opportunity to secure a medal.” Such a statement, it appears gives the impression that SLR was under-prepared.
The Women’s Tuskers did reasonably well in the Asian 7’s circuit in 2017 just a few months prior to the Asian Games under the watchful eyes of Sudath Sampath (Head Coach), Inthie Marikkar (Director, High Performance), and Dilan Zoysa (Trainer). Going by some of their performances of this tournament especially of Sri Lanka’s losing margins to Hong Kong (5-10) and Kazakstan (0-12); and the fact that Sri Lanka beat Thailand (24-12 to win the Plate championship) who incidentally lost the bronze medal to Kazakhstan at Asian Games speaks volumes of Sri Lanka’s bright chances. While Japan won the Gold, the Silver went to China. So the top four teams at the Asian Games finally stand as Japan, China, Kazakstan and Thailand. Where would Sri Lanka been placed had they participated?
It is indeed a very sad state of affairs why the SLR officials just could not do their home work to come out with a sound assessment. Surely, the authorities who are top administrators in their own rights (may not necessarily be well conversant in sports) would have possibly understood the prospect of a medal on a general analytical perspective. How on earth did the Sri Lanka hockey administrators able to convince the authorities to field a men’s team and got humiliated by India 20 goals to nil at the Asian Games. In that context, the SLR surely had all the rights to impress the authorities. Where did the think-tanks of SLR go wrong? The rugby fraternity’s only hope would be to see that SLR conducts its affairs more sensibly in the future.
Furthermore what’s really shocking was that 180 athletes and nearly 70 odd officials amounting to a total of approximately 250 people had participated at this year’s Asian Games representing Sri Lanka while depriving the prospect medalists, the women Tuskers. In the overall assessment, it was the 4 x 400 men’s relay team and Men’s 7’s rugby team did perform well to secure fourth place. We wish to reserve the comments on the performance of the men’s rugby team. |
The large city skylines and Statue of Liberty is more than just a far-off view for sisters serving in the New Jersey Morristown Mission. As part of their proselyting responsibilities, some companionships spend a few hours a week with people from around the world in the American Family Immigration History Center located on Ellis Island, New York.
Ellis Island, known for being the gateway for many immigrants between the years 1892-1924, has become a destination for many from around the United States and world to visit and learn more about their ancestors. But for many patrons, it is more than a chance to learn about their family — it is a chance for a positive exposure to the Church.
The American Family Immigration History Center has had strong ties with the Church from the very beginning. A collaborative effort, done by 12,000 members of the Church before the center opened in 2001, helped to research, document and transcribe historical immigration records from microfilm. The records included the names of people who immigrated to the U.S., the ships they traveled in and other personal information. The time Church members spent documenting the records and manifests, which spanned seven years and millions of hours of work, produced 24 million names of people who had immigrated to the United States specifically through Ellis Island (See Church News, April 21, 2001).
That work continues to benefit visitors today.
From May to October, Wednesdays through Saturdays, different companionships of sisters serving in the New Jersey Morristown Mission take one day a week and travel to the island to volunteer from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in helping people do their family research. Through volunteering their time, missionaries are able to introduce people to the Church, just by wearing a missionary tag.
"These missionaries are there to serve and help," said President A. Lee Bahr, who presides over the New Jersey Morristown Mission. "And hopefully help people more likely to be interested [in the Church] later, although that isn't the purpose. It is really just to help people."
The American Family Immigration History Center opened on April 17, 2001, and has been a great resource for tourists and locals alike to learn more about their ancestors. Although missionaries are not allowed to actively proselyte while working in the family history center, they are able to answer questions patrons have about the Church and lead them to more information.
"We explain how to search and find the most information about their family that they can," said Sister Maxine Fonua, who is from Salt Lake City. "Some people ask about more information and we can give them the Church Web sites. Some have more questions [about the Church] and we explain about being a missionary."
In addition, missionaries explain why the Church spends so much time focusing on finding families.
"Just connecting people to their ancestors gives people a sense of family and of being a part of Heavenly Father's family," said President Bahr. "People have a natural sense of that, whether they are members of the Church or not."
Even without much talk of the Church, visitors are touched by the spirit of Elijah — that of turning hearts of father and children to each other — as they learn about generations of family that came before them.
"I've been there and watched people with tears in their eyes as they find their ancestors and realize the importance of their family," said Sister Carol Ann Bahr, President Bahr's wife. "It is a very spiritual experience for them. They have a sense of gratitude and honor for their ancestors."
Above all, the service rendered by missionaries is a great opportunity for people to come closer to Christ.
"As I've watched the people look at the name tag," said Sister Bahr, "they can relate the service to that of Jesus Christ." |
This is an antique lamp made by PERKO, who have been making lamps since 1907. This one is probably 1950s era… the “as found condition was our indicator. It definitely saw sea time... judging by the heavy patina. We have restored it to almost original condition… the brass was polished, buffed and then sealed with a clear brass lacquer. We didn’t test it but all the parts are there and it appears fully functional. The lamp’s base is weighted and the gimbals work fine. We believe the globe is original. |
