Sea-level patterns in the Indian Ocean
Nature Geoscience
The coasts of Indonesia, Sumatra and the north Indian Ocean could be exposed to significantly higher sea-level rise than the global average, whereas the Seychelles Islands and the eastern coasts of Kenya and Tanzania could see little or no change. This study, published online in Nature Geoscience, notes patterns of regional sea-level change that have been detected for the past half century, and suggests that they are linked to human-induced climate warming.
Weiqing Han and colleagues investigated regional trends in Indian Ocean sea levels since the 1960s, using ocean observations, satellite data and climate-model simulations. They identified a distinct pattern of sea-level change, with a sea-level fall in the south tropical Indian Ocean and an increase elsewhere. The researchers attribute these regional differences to an increasingly vigorous atmospheric overturning circulation in both north-south and east-west directions. This is partly caused by climate warming, suggesting that a similar pattern of sea-level change may occur in the future.

Nevada voters legalized the use of medical marijuana in 2000. In 2013, Senate Bill 374 was introduced to implement a regulated retail medical marijuana system. While 372 facilities received provisional certification under SB374, only 65 were authorized to operate by the end of 2016. In November, 2016, Nevada voters passed Question 2, authorizing the sales of recreational marijuana. Under the initiative, only existing licensees were eligible to conduct retail sales for the first 18 months of operations.
Nevada will be accepting applications for current medical licensees to seek authorization for adult-use sales from October 30-Nov 13, 2018. Nevada has indicated applicants who do not currently hold may be eligible to apply late in 2018.
Between July 2017 and March 2018, marijuana sales in the state generated $386 million. Of this, approximately $305 million came from the adult use, recreational market despite initial supply shortages. Industry analysis firm New Frontier projects the market value to grow to $622 by 2022.
Nevada's marijuana system includes marijuana cultivation facilities, marijuana distributors, marijuana product manufacturing facilities, marijuana testing facilities, and marijuana retail stores.

William's 2 Step Method For Increasing Your Value As A Musician
Is it weird that I love to study Boar's Head? You know, the sandwich meat company?
Not only is their quality spot on but I LOVE their slogan –
Boar's Head – Sacrifice Elsewhere
That is dope (Did I mention that I have no life?). But, it's a testament to our thinking here at HTBAMS.
We would rather pay 2x the price knowing that we get an amazing product, versus saving a few pennies to get the knock-off. It's just not the same.
But, what happens when we invest in ourselves?

Heathrow's survey payments are no big deal
The payments offered to residents for taking part in Heathrow's surveys are likely to be far less than Chief Executive John Holland-Kaye's boasted to the Business press reported only days ago.
Bloomberg.com reported that Heathrow was offering a "sweetener" to local people, who are under threat from expansion, for taking part in surveys that are necessary for the airport to submit as part of the planning process. It sounded like Heathrow was trying to create an image of the airport as a generous benefactor, offering a £1000 bonus at Christmas "to do nothing".
Now we can report that not only are these payments not money for nothing, they are also nothing exceptional for a big company that wants planning permission for a large project. What residents should also note is that Heathrow's latest Bulletin, which was sent out to around 4000 homes very soon after the post-announcement edition, was supposed to have been published to inform residents about the surveys - it was on the front page. Yet no mention whatsoever was made of these payments. In addition, at a meeting for residents' representatives immediately before the Bulletin was distributed, there seems to have been no mention of payments and certainly no statement of what these payments might be. It's strange that no one at Heathrow noticed these omissions?
Was Heathrow hoping it could get away with repeatedly gaining access to the land or property, that it ultimately wants to flatten, without any compensation for the people occupying or owning it? Maybe some people would have offered access without realising they were entitled to a payment? Our readers can be the judge. What is certain is that residents must not rely on Heathrow's Bulletin publications for information.
You may decide you don't want to give access to Heathrow for their surveys. If you decide that you will, are you really going to get £1000? Almost certainly not.
If you are in a residential property the only survey needed is likely to be for wildlife, such as bats in gardens or attics.
First of all you have to sign an access licence agreement, for a payment of £100.
Then, if you agree, you must sign and return the agreement to Heathrow within 6 weeks of receipt to get an additional £100.
Then, should Heathrow need to enter the property, you get £150 per visit.
So if you expect to get the £1000 that John Holland Kaye boasts about you must sign a document to show you agree, get it back to Heathrow within 6 weeks then hope (dread?) that you get a further 5 visits - although you will still be £50 short.
A Heathrow spokesperson has said that payments of this type are usual practice when gathering environmental data for large infrastructure projects e.g. M4 Smart Motorway, Thames Tideway Tunnel, HS2 etc. It is a payment to compensate for the inconvenience of having to intrude on peoples' properties.
So don't be fooled into thinking that the payments to survey your property to enable them to compile reports needed for a planning application are made out of "generosity".
Remember, Chief executive John Holland-Kaye earned £2.06m last year, more than doubling his basic salary of £885,000. He could add even more to that should a third runway be approved as the company's annual report indicated that he would get a nice bonus if a third runway were approved.
No wonder the Heathrow Fat Cat is keen to persuade residents who live in fear of losing their homes to open their doors for third runway surveys.
Heathrow has said it will send letters to residents in the New Year.

text: New Orleans is known for its unique and varied architecture, and one of the most interesting details that can be found on properties around town is the cast and wrought iron work. This is especially true in the city's cemeteries, where you can find evidence of influences from the French, Spanish, German, and English founders of the city. Just like the beautiful iron decoration surrounding residents' homes, their tombs were subsequently decorated with similar designs. Several styles are particularly notable, such as merchant bars, which are made up of round or square vertical bars and flat horizontal bars, as well as the picturesque style, which allowed blacksmiths to demonstrate their creativity through rustic, tree like fences in line with the nineteenth century romanticism that built so much of the city. And, of course, because we're talking about cemeteries in the predominantly Catholic Orleans Parish, there are the iron crosses, found in all shapes and styles. Most notable are the voided crosses (open crosses) and those adorned with scrolls. Many voided crosses also have distinct and unique patterns or motifs placed inside them, so be sure to look closely!

Nandan Nileknai had successfully led one of the biggest IT companies in India and taken it to higher level of performance. His opinions were respected by whole of the business world. Thomas Friedman got the idea for writing his book 'The World is Flat' while talking to him. Nandan's wife Rohini has earned a good name in well targeted philanthropy. His investments in start-ups have been doing well. He is the man behind 'Aadhar' card. He was the chief of a national level Govt. organization before joining politics. There was no looking back and no challenge looked big for him.
When many were expecting he would change the face of politics in India for good, he lost the first election he fought and he has already announced leaving politics.
What do you think went wrong?
Well, if UPA had won the elections, Nandan would have become a Cabinet Minister or held some powerful position in some Govt. organization and would have changed the things for good. But that was not in his destiny.
First thing to note is, it appears like his timing for joining politics was not good. There was pro-Modi and anti-Congress wave during the last parliament elections. The results which gave a majority win for NDA confirmed that.
On a second note, it takes time to establish oneself as a politician. Nandan was well known in business circles and his credentials were great. But how will that matter with voters? They would be more comfortable with a person who is more approachable than a person admired by learned fellows. All the voters knew Nandan was rich and he is not into politics to earn money. But how many times he was seen on the streets solving petty issues and taking the Dias in the local events establishing himself as one of their own? He was hardly active in such matters given his busy schedules in his earlier roles. If you think party workers would have helped him to bridge that gap, think again. The party workers at the root level are loyal to their local party leaders. How many such local leaders were supported by Nandan in the previous ward or assembly elections? When his efforts are not visible, it is safe to assume that Nandan might have remained unapproachable for party workers too, forget the voters. Next let us look at the opponent Nandan had to fight with, which was Anant Kumar of BJP party. Anant Kumar is a seasoned politician. He had won in Bangalore South constituency already and had established his candidature well. His background in RSS had made him a good orator. He knew how to play the caste card well. He had supported the local leaders during all political and party matters. Adding to his advantages, Modi wave was in favor of his party. So his win against first-timer Nandan was not a great surprise.
Lastly, wins and losses are part of politician's life. But he has to remain loyal to that profession for future success. Look at JD(S) party, no matter they win or lose, they are in politics. Despite his personal wins in elections, it took BS Yediyurappa many decades for his party to gain power. It takes really long time to establish oneself as a politician and some luck to get into a position of power. But if person leaves the profession in between, it becomes difficult to come back as voters will begin to question the motive.
Now that Nandan has taken a decision to leave politics, he might have well thought about it before coming to the conclusion. His colleague at Infosys, V Balakrishna too fought the election and accepted defeat. Nandan would have won the election someday if he had remained in politics and worked on his shortfalls. But it is his personal decision to stay away from active politics. That is not really a motivator for those with entrepreneurial background planning to get into politics.
The platform for politics in India is not yet flat.

Andrew Dilnot appointed new Warden of Nuffield College
24 March 2011
Nuffield Foundation Trustee Andrew Dilnot will be the next Warden of Nuffield College from September 2012 when the present Warden, Stephen Nickell, stands down.
Mr Dilnot is currently the Principal of St Hugh's College and a Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford. He is also the Chairman of the Commission on the Funding of Care and Support, an independent body responsible for the review of the funding system for care and support in England.
Nuffield is a graduate college of the University of Oxford specialising in the Social Sciences, particularly Economics, Politics, and Sociology. Granted a Charter in 1958, the college aims to provide a stimulating research-orientated environment for its students and faculty.
Mr Dilnot said: 'I'm delighted at the prospect of joining Nuffield. The vision set out in its statutes, of a place for "cooperation between academic and non-academic persons" is as relevant now as it was at the college's foundation, and the chance to work alongside so distinguished a group of social scientists is hugely exciting, as is the prospect of a little more time for my own research.'
Mr Dilnot has been Principal of St Hugh's College for nearly ten years. One of the highlights was the announcement last year of a £10 million gift to create a dedicated building for the study of China at Oxford. The Dickson Poon China Centre, costing a total of £20 million, will be built in the grounds of St Hugh's College. It will play a key role in the University's strategy to strengthen its relationship with China and other centres of scholarship in Chinese studies worldwide.
Despite the move to another college, Mr Dilnot's involvement in fundraising activities for the China Centre will continue. 'Staying in Oxford means that I will be able to continue as the chair of the fundraising committee for the University's China Centre, which has been one of the most exciting developments in my time at St Hugh's,' he said.
Mr Dilnot took a BA Hons in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at St John's College, Oxford. As an economist, he has held a variety of roles at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (director, 1991-2002). He has also been a member of the National Consumer Council, and has served on the Social Security Advisory Committee. He is the chairman of the Statistics Users Forum of the Royal Statistical Society, and has been a Trustee of the Nuffield Foundation since 2009. In 2000 he was awarded a CBE for services to economics and economic policy.

Unlike previous reports, MS Dhoni: The Untold Story has not been banned in Pakistan. Censor board authorities in Pakistan have said that they have not received any copy of the film for certification and so there is no question of banning it.
"How can we ban a film that's not been submitted for certification? The local distributors have not even applied for the NoC of the film," Pakistan Central Board of Film Censors chairperson Mobashir Hasan was quoted as saying by IANS.
"We certify every film keeping Pakistan's integrity, security and sovereignty in mind. As per our rules and regulations, we try our best to take every decision on merit," he added.
Earlier, it was reported that the biopic, that showcases the life of cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, was banned in Pakistan due to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's threats to Pakistani artists working in India.
The distributors of MS Dhoni: The Untold Story in Pakistan did not import the film due to the hostile situation between the two nations. "We wouldn't want to release anything that can aggravate the current situation of the two countries. Dhoni is India's hero so it's risky," the report quoted media and marketing manager of IMGC Entertainment, Sabina Islam.
The entire fuss relates to the terrorist attacks in Uri that caused death of 18 Indian Army soldiers. MNS had threatened all Pakistani actors and actresses to leave India at the earliest after the attacks.

David Backes fights in return to St. Louis
ST. LOUIS — David Backes was a spectator for most of the third period in his return to St. Louis. He didn't mind.
Brad Marchand scored twice, including an empty netter, and Backes got into a fight as the Boston Bruins beat the Blues 5-3 on Tuesday night.
Frank Vatrano, Brandon Carlo and Torey Krug also scored for the Bruins, who improved to 2-0-1 in their last three games. Tuukka Rask made 14 saves.
"I think the guys are really buying into trying to play hard here and there's a lot of pride in our dressing room and we just got to keep showing it," Bruins coach Claude Julien said.
Backes, who spent his first 10 seasons with St. Louis before signing with Boston as a free agent, fought with former teammate Joel Edmundson late in the second to the delight of the Scottrade Center crowd. Backes dropped the gloves in retaliation for a hit on Bruins teammate David Krejci by Jori Lehtera and received an instigator and a 10-minute misconduct in addition to his fighting penalty.
"I felt like they were trying to get the game back by trying to intimidate us and hitting us all over the place and I don't think it really matters how it happens," Backes said. "It's kind of, we've got to put an end to this, so I tried to put an end to it."
The Bruins fed off of the energy of Backes' return.
"You always want to step up for your teammate and 'Backs' the way he plays for our team and the things he does every night, it's great to be able to go to battle for him and come up with a win for him," Marchand said.
Colton Parayko, Patrik Berglund and Kyle Brodziak scored for the Blues. Jake Allen was pulled for Carter Hutton after allowing three goals on 11 shots in the first period. Hutton finished with 26 saves.
"I got here for a reason and just be confident in there and trust everything that I've done to get to here is going to work," Allen said. "It's tough times right now, but defiantly better days ahead."
Boston scored four goals on its first 13 shots.
Vatrano put the Bruins up 1-0 with a power-play goal at 8:19 in the first period. It was the sixth straight game the Blues gave up the first goal.
Carlo made it 2-0 with 4:40 left in the first on a lucky bounce. Carlo's slap shot went wide, but caromed off the end boards and off Allen's leg and into the net.
Marchand scored his fourth goal in his last three games to give the Bruins a 3-0 lead with 2:08 left in the first. Marchand extended his points streak to four games.
"I thought we had a really good game all the way through, especially with a few guys going down, 'Backs' being in the box for 17 minutes," Marchand said. "I thought the guys responded really well."
The Blues allowed more goals (3) than they had shots (2) in the first period and haven't won two games in a row since Dec. 1.
"It's a balance between relying on your skill and relying on our puck management," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "And I think we've relied too much on our skill."
The Bruins went up 4-0 when Krug scored his first goal in 30 games on a power play early in the second period. It was Boston's sixth goal with the man advantage in six games.
Bruins defensemen Adam McQuaid (upper body) and Colin Miller (lower body) left the game in the first and third period, respectively.
NOTES: Blues fans gave Backes a standing ovation following a video tribute during the first period. … F Vladimir Tarasenko, the lone Blues player selected to the All-Star Game, played in his 300th game. . Rask and Marchand will represent the Bruins in the All-Star Game.
Bruins: At Nashville on Thursday night.
Blues: At Los Angeles on Thursday night.

OTTAWA, Canada -- Deaf inmates in Canada are often isolated with limited access to prison rehabilitation programs, experts say.
Jim Roots, executive director of the Canadian Association of the Deaf, said courts and corrections try to accommodate special needs of deaf offenders, but a lack of dedicated resources means they are frequently shut out. The system is short on qualified interpreters who can convey complex legal terminology into concepts deaf people can understand, he said.
"That applies all through the system, including access to treatment and also to everyday prison life," he said. "They are isolated amid a dangerous populace with whom they cannot communicate."
Correctional Service of Canada does not have readily available figures on how many deaf and hearing-impaired prisoners are currently incarcerated. But spokesman Suzanne Leclerc said CSC is committed to ensuring needs of all disabled offenders are "appropriately accommodated" according to legislative requirements and obligations.
Operational and program adjustments can be made to ensure offenders have access and benefit from all essential services, she said.
But James MacDougall, a psychology professor at McGill University who has worked with deaf offenders, said support is "uneven and unpredictable." Inmates often languish without communication and rehabilitation due to a lack of interpreters.
"It's terrible.
"If you're isolated and no one can communicate with you, it's an extreme form of sensory deprivation," he said. "The overall impact on the person can truly be horrible."

Travel after the apocalypse will be very different than traveling now. Here are some tips that can make it safer!
Travel After the Apocalypse (aka: The Long Bug Out)
Some of us live pretty far from our families. We move away to take jobs or to go to school. When it's time to visit home we have to drive for hours hours, take a train, ride the bus or fly. After the SHTF will we stay where we are or will we try to get home?
Once the initial disaster passes, many will strike out and head for home, where they have people they trust and care about.
This journey will probably be very similar to cross country backpacking, but with no stores, restaurants, gas stations or convenient electical outlets along the way and rife with predatory humans looking to take what you have…. or worse.
Before we get into the list of provisions that we'll need, let me offer a warning.
Do NOT travel like this alone, unless you are a special forces ninja, trained to survive alone.
A group of at least 3 people will be a good starting point, and can probably travel more quietly than a large group.
- 1 person rests/sleeps
- 1 person prepares food and gathers water for themselves and the other 2
- 1 person is on guard duty. Weapon ready (or close to ready) in a good spot to watch for approach of others.
Rotate duties when not on the move, so everyone has a chance to perform all duties.
What supplies will be needed for this travel? You'll need to carry almost everything you need to survive, like a cross country bug out bag! Be prepared to improvise and make things along your route to help you.
Ok this is pretty much a bug out bag, but not just for 72 hours, but for an indefinite trip.
- Weapon – A rifle, shotgun or pistol. Yes, guns, because there will be bad, bad people out there with guns too.
- Backpack – Something comfortable, and that can hold what you need. Make sure it's tough, it'd really stink to have it rip apart and all your stuff falls out. You'd look really dumb carrying your gear in a plastic shopping bag that you found along the way.
- Survival Manual – a copy of the SAS Survival Guide or the Army Survival Manual (FM21-76) , something that covers essential topics
- Hunting tools
- Slingshot, BB pistol, you could even use your main weapon if in a pinch.Why not a Bow and Arrows? We're already carrying a defensive weapon, so it's not realistic.
- Snares – light small and easy to fashion
- Fishing line, hooks and sinkers – set some trot lines
- Rain Poncho – The military rain poncho is perfect for travel. You can use it for rain gear and shelter.
- Sleeping Bag – It's important to have a gore tex bivy sack cover for your sleeping bag. A full military sleep system will allow you to tailor your comfort and survive in temperatures down to -30°F. Yes it's heavy, but it's shelter and sleeping bag in 1 package, and if you have the military rain poncho hung over it, it could be very efficient.
- Fire Starting gear – matches, flint, cigarette lighters, Fresnel Lens. Have multiples and backups
- Cooking Gear – You need a way to cook food, so a mess kit designed for camping, for each member of your party. A camping skillet will make cooking for your group much easier!
- Water container – Stainless steel water bottle, canteen or Nalgene bottle, ensure that you have an item from the Cook set that you can boil water in.
- Navigation
- Maps and Map covers – You'll never have all the topographical maps you'll need. Purchase a Delorme Atlas and Gazetteer for any states you must traverse, or at least grab that Road Atlas out of your car or truck. Do I recommend walking on the roads? No, not really. If you are careful you probably can walking on the roads now and then, but you can use your compass and cut through the wilderness from highway to highway.
- Compass
- Knife
- Fixed blade knife (something rugged and that will last)
- pocket knife (a backup and for small cutting tasks)
- First Aid Kit
- Hygiene kit – brush your teeth and clean up on your trip, you don't want to be all gross when you finally get home.
- Eye Protection – Goggles, sunglasses
- Food – a bag of rice or beans, maybe some dehydrated soup fixins to jazz up whatever wild game you hunted!
- Sunscreen
- Insect repellant
- Hat and Bandana or Shemagh
- Extra Clothes (wool or synthetics) especially socks! Be able to layer for warmth
- Headlamp and Flashlight – Yes both.
- Hatchet and/or camp saw
- Survival Blanket, in case you get wet and have to dry your clothes over the fire.
- Duct Tape – Have this and some zip ties, if you can.
- Momentos,
- a book (Bible)
- Pictures or Something to provide distraction and remind you of the reason you are making this long, arduous trip.
After the SHTF many of us will strike out and head for home. Travel After the Apocalypse will be dark, unfamiliar and darn scary, but remember, the fur trappers, mountain men and pioneers all faced similar journeys, hundreds of years ago. You can do it, if you are smart and cautious.

Why skits, plays, and other theatrical endeavors are not simply worthwhile, but a MUST in today's progressive faith communities and churches.
by Daniel D. Maurer, Arches 'n Bells Founder
When I was an ELCA pastor serving in western North Dakota, I quickly found out the power of a fun church play to put "fun" (translate: engagement and joy) back into faith. One time in particular stands out in my memory...
In 2001, the confirmation class I was teaching was a tough group of kids. What I mean by that is not that the kids came from tough backgrounds or were unruly. No, it was far worse—they really didn't want to be there. I consider myself a fairly hip guy, and I can relay information with the best of any pastor out there, but every. single. kid. had the look of supreme boredom embedded (carved, really) on their faces. Nothing I said or activities I encouraged them to undertake seemed to vanquish the stoicism from their expressions.
It also didn't seem to matter if I presented the material in multimedia—in fact, it seemed to make it worse. No amount of preparation I put into a Power Point slide seemed to capture the kids' attentions. Worse yet, I've since found out that this experience is common! It has to do with how the brain works. And kids' brains especially don't want to retain a fire-hose-gush of information.
But then I wrote a skit—a simple, wacky, fun, and informative skit.
Just to illustrate to you how effective it was, I'll let you know that I still remember the plot line of that church play, and I recall perfectly how both the kids, and also the adults they performed it to, responded to it.
The topic was creation. We had to spell out for the kids the basic tenets of God's continual act of creation. I used the second story of creation in Genesis. (Did you know there is more than one?)
For this skit, I chose to write it in a simple, easy-to-understand format—I just did a paraphrase of the second creation story of Adam and Eve. What I remember is that the fun (and the giggling) gushed out of the kids when the part came that both main characters "...were naked, and felt no shame." I remember the two kids—a boy and a girl—both dancing around in a circle chanting, "We're naked! We're naked! And we feel no shame!" (That part was the kids' own ad lib, by the way.)
Immediately, I saw the value of using dramatic expressions to relay the stories in scripture. The amazing thing about doing this, is that using theater to teach—and it's bullseye-hitting power—has been known for some time!
What should have been painfully obvious to me as a leader in the congregation was that theater not only works for kids and teens, but also for adults. The fact of the matter is that human beings are storied creatures. As it happens, when I speak publicly about addiction, recovery, and the process of transformation, I make this very point: people just respond and learn better when they can act it out.
Below are the THREE BIG POINTS!!! (see the exclamation marks?!) on which to ruminate whilst using dramatic resources. I've compiled these not simply to convince you about doing it (that part should be obvious), but also so that you'll be more effective in the way you present the skits, plays, or display of thespianic-awesomeness in your own context.
1. Keep it Fun!
The big reasons why I began Arches 'n Bells were that many of the resources already existing online for congregations weren't meeting two crucial needs—people want to be entertained (and that's okay!) and people in progressive faith communities want topics that reflect what's happening in real life.
Of course, there are loads of topics in the Bible that simply aren't conducive to silliness or triviality! Well then, go ahead and get serious—but do it well. Engage us. Suck us into the story. Put us at the edges of our seats, for crying out loud! After all, the stories in the Bible already do this—we simply miss the point how dramatic, engaging, intriguing, or humorous they are!
Walt Wangerin, one of our greatest expositors of scriptural stories today, said it best in his work, Paul: A Novel (here are the character Paul's own words): "Go back to the books. They will comfort you and cheer you. If you earnestly work with them, neither sorrow nor anxiety nor distress nor suffering need trouble your mind any more, no, not evermore."
The stories are what matter. Engage people, and they will listen. More importantly, they will learn.
2. Keep it Contextual!
This should be a proclamation from Capitan Obvious; I mention it because so many leaders forget the context in which they serve.
Remember your people! Know the stories and the history of where you serve. It's difficult to give specific advice to this point, because every context is different. One point that I stress with each of our plays we offer at FunChurchPlays.com is that after you download it, you can do what you want with it. Not every congregation or youth-group will respond to some of the über-snark that some of our playwrights inherently seem to be imbued with. But that's why we offer lots of different options—so you can adapt each play to your own setting.
Another point fitting for the context is gearing each of your presentations in line with the season or time of year you're presenting. Lent is different than Advent or Christmas. And during the summer too—people forget that a play or skit doesn't need to be overly complicated to be effective. Drama, even done with little preparation, is better than standing in a pulpit and giving a sermon. (Nothing against sermons, we need them, of course!)
3. Invite Others to Participate!
In a day and age when people expect professional clergy to be the ones who undertake and direct all-that-is-religious-or-spiritual, it's more important than ever to invite others to participate in acting out a skit or dramatic reading. And they'll like it all the more that you invite them to enjoy themselves doing it! (Theater pieces are called "plays" for a reason.)
Following Jesus is never easy, but always worthwhile. Have you ever asked yourself or others in your congregation why specifically we "do worship" every week? We "do it" because it's practice. It's rehearsing. The liturgy guides us and cements itself into our lives so that—in theory—we live out what God is calling us to be: God's own grace-centered people. Flesh on the bones.
Full disclosure: I'm Lutheran. (I know. It's so embarrassing.) I see the world through the lens of Lutheran theology. But I grew up in the Methodist Church (UMC). (I bet your heart is "strangely warmed" by the thought of this.) One of the points I've found within all grace-centered, progressive mainstream denominations is that all see the radical love of Jesus of Nazareth as something our world is still sorely lacking.
What better way to add to practicing and rehearsing one's faith by using drama?
I found that adding in a dramatic presentation or interpretation of scripture was not only helpful for the congregation, but was a pastoral act in itself—people want to participate. All you have to do is ask, and do it right.
Skits, plays, seasonal productions . . . or whatever you want to call them . . . are not simply tools to tell a story—they are invariably a vital component of telling THE story, the love-hymn of God to God's own beloved.
Use them—you'll be glad you did!
The rest of the STORY will take care of itself.

Auto Insurance Coverage Requirements in Illinois
Driving legally in Chicago requires:
|Most Common
|Bodily Injury Liability
|Property Damage Liability
|Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury
|Not required
|Medical Payments
|Not required
|Not required
|500 deductible
|Not required
|250 deductible
Just remember that, although limiting your coverage to Liability only can save you money from month to month, it leaves room for many very expensive things to happen to your car. Weather damage, theft, or accidents which are not your fault could leave you with a large repair bill.
It's relatively inexpensive (around $114/month) for most motorists to get insured within the state of Illinois. However, Chicago denizens can get rates as low as $45/mo* if they know how and where to look. We'll explain this in detail below.
Nationwide, State Farm, and Farmers seem to be offering some good deals right now in Chicago. But before you switch to a new insurance company, find out some information about the company itself. After all, a low rate doesn't look so attractive if you find out that you don't like the way they do business.
Do you know how many metrics insurance companies use to determine your quote? Well, there isn't an exact number. The questions they ask depend on your personal history, state laws, and industry regulations. But we'll go over some of the biggest determining factors below. For more information on Illinois car insurance, click here.
Major Car Insurance Factors in Chicago
In nearly every state, the factors listed below can have a significant influence on how much you pay for your insurance coverage each month. And these factors are:
Your Zip Code
The larger the city which you call home, the more likely you are to pay higher rates for your insurance each month. It's all about probability. The more cars and drivers that share the road with you, the more probable it is that you will get into an accident. The city of Chicago is called home by 2,718,782 people, with an estimated average household income of $47,099.
Automotive Accidents
Any city with a high rate of auto accidents is likely to be more expensive to drive around in, with regard to insurance. Unfortunately, for Chicago, the accident rates are alarmingly high (as the chart shows). However, if your driving record is accident-free, you might want to ask about a safe driver or a defensive driving course discount.
Auto Thefts in Chicago
Auto theft is a problem in large cities, and Chicago is no exception. There were 12,636 vehicles reported stolen in 2013 alone. If you're worried about auto theft, make sure you get an anti-theft device installed in your vehicle. Not only will this deter thieves, but you can get an insurance discount from most companies. If you have the extra money to spend, try adding Comprehensive coverage to your policy. It's the only coverage which pays out when you file a stolen vehicle claim.
Your Credit Score
Illinois is one of many states in the country which legally permits your insurer to adjust your rate based on your credit score. Like most things in life, people with excellent credit scores are eligible for some major discounts on their insurance rates. Having poor credit, unfortunately, can double your monthly premium (or more).
Your Age
The younger you are, the less experience you are likely to have behind the wheel. This, statistically speaking, makes you more likely to get into an accident. For this reason, younger people (and teenagers especially) are charged drastically higher rates. But there is hope, in the form of "Good Student" and Driver's Ed discounts.
Your Driving Record
A few minor driving blemishes on your record, even something as minor as a speeding ticket or a fender-bender, will raise your monthly premiums. But that doesn't necessarily make you a risky driver, and insurance companies are starting to realize this. That's why more providers are offering "Accident Forgiveness" discounts to drivers with relatively clean records.
Your Vehicle
Luxury vehicles are more expensive to insure than regular ones, but not necessarily for the reasons you'd think. In order to protect such an expensive investment, you need to invest in more diverse insurance coverage, and in higher amounts. These "Cadillac Plans" are naturally more expensive, but necessary if you don't want to foot the bill for repairing replacing an expensive vehicle.
Minor Car Insurance Factors in Chicago
The factors below may also have an influence in your monthly premium, although they might be a little harder to control:
Your Marital Status
Being married presents a special opportunity to bundle your insurance policies. Married couples have the option to bundle their auto policies together (under the same company, of course). And if your insurer sells multiple types of insurance, you can bundle them all together for even bigger discounts.
Your Gender
Believe it or not, being born a specific gender does not make you more likely to get into an accident, all other factors being equal. That's why more and more companies these days are charging men and women the same rates.
Your Driving Distance to Work
Despite having an intricate highway system, it can still take a while to get to work for Chicago residents. The average Commute can last anywhere from 19-47 minutes, primarily because most workers drive alone to the office each day. Carpoolers only make up 1-24% of drivers, with the average somewhere around 13%.
Many insurance companies will ask you questions about your driving habits, such as how many miles you drive yearly, your purpose for being on the road, and whether your vehicle is for personal use or business. Of all those, business vehicles are the most expensive to insure – yielding rate hikes of 10% or more.
Your Coverage and Deductibles
As mentioned above, the more coverage you buy, the higher your premiums will be. But you can lower your premiums and increase your coverage by lowering your deductible. This is a great way to save money month-to-month. Just make sure you have enough cash on hand in case you do need to pay that higher deductible.
Education in Chicago, IL
Think having the right job or a high salary will get you insurance discounts? Well, they might, but they won't come as close to saving you money as having a higher education will. Most of the Chicago population stopped at their HS diploma or GED, while another 20% have gone on to earn a bachelor's degree.
Chicago is home to dozens of prestigious universities, many of them known for their advancements in the sciences and research. The University of Chicago can boast 70 Nobel Laureates which have graced its halls. The University of Illinois also has a campus in Chicago, with more than 25,000 students pursuing everything from bachelors to doctoral degrees in a variety of subjects.
Getting the best insurance rates can be a challenge. But with a quick online comparison tool, like the one below, you can shop among top companies and get competitive quotes in minutes.
How We Conducted Our Car Insurance Analysis
*We calculated our average rate based on the following metrics: a married, 34 year old male with good credit, a 12-month history of maintaining auto insurance, a clean driving record, who owns his own home. Miles driven annually were based on the national average. The average rate was also calculated based on a financed 2015 Honda Accord with a pre-installed anti-theft device.

After having my first child and deciding to stay home to raise him, I became totally immersed in the new mommy culture of play dates, mother's groups, stroller walks and story times at the library. It didn't take too long for me to realize that this society is full of its own unspoken norms and customs. Like when I went to my first MOPS meeting, I noticed all the moms pulled up in minivans, had perfectly applied makeup at 9am, brought elaborate dishes (with Pampered Chef utensils) to the potluck, and later took their tiny tikes to Gymboree.
But more importantly, (jewelry freak that I am) I noticed a bracelet sported by a few moms like a badge of honor. They called it a mother's bracelet and it had their kids' names on it. I fell in love with the concept of jewelry that could be worn as a reminder of what is really important... even on days when I showed up at MOPS without makeup and a bag of chips to be eaten directly from the bag!
I made my first bracelet a few weeks before delivering my second child and donned it in the hospital right after giving birth. I have made nearly a hundred since then for many more moms who want to celebrate the blessing of being a mama, even on days when they don't want to jump through all of the unnecessary hoops. The "Mama Bracelet" that I make has a distinctive look and is made to endure life with children.
You are invited to celebrate the blessing of being a mother everyday in a beautiful "Mama Bracelet". It is made to order with 4.5mm or 5.5mm sterling silver letter beads, toggle clasp and Swarovski crystals. A crystal dangle with your kids' birthstones is included. For more info, contact me or check out the "Mama Collection" on my website, www.maybornedesigns.com.

"About 80 trillion won ($71.3 billion) of the domestic shadow banking market is highly subject to volatility, likely to face insolvency depending on the real estate market situation," Shin Yong-sang, senior researcher at KIF, claimed in a related report.
Shadow banking, often termed "market-based financing," refers to financial products by nonbank financial institutes that provide services similar to traditional commercial bank, but outside the banking regulations.
According to the report, the total volume of real estate-related shadow banking here stood at 469.7 trillion won as of the end of September last year. Such nonbank financing especially marked a visible expansion in 2010-2017 amid the nation's sustained preference of low interest rate, as well as the prosperity of the domestic real estate market.
Of the total amount, real estate trusts and alternative investment funds accounted for 242.5 trillion won and 139 trillion won, respectively, while project financing followed with 41.1 trillion won.
The problem is that about 17 percent of the entire volume, or 80 trillion won, is currently subject to volatility, the report pointed out, expressing concerns on the 1.1 trillion-won peer-to-peer lending sector.
"Real estate accounts for a considerable majority in household assets. Considering South Korea's relatively high dependence on shadow banking, the downside risks triggered by a real estate market downturn could be bigger than fluctuations in other financial assets," the report said.
"Financial authorities need to keep track of the shadow banking market at all times and build a risk management system."

We often hear from our attendees that they benefit in multiple ways from Moms as Mentors® programs. Here is a taste of what MOMS say they value most about their experiences at our programs:
"The best part of the experience was getting to enjoy spending time with my daughter...in a fun, no stress environment. It's sometimes easy to forget how much fun it can be to just hang out with her. I have several younger children and it was so awesome to spend some one on one time with my daughter doing something that was educational and empowering."
"I knew my daughter and I would enjoy the time together, but I never realized how much it would mean to her. At least twice a month she tells me she wants to do another [Moms As Mentors®] program. She says that she had so much fun, and she loved how it was just the two of us."
"The biggest value for the both of us was the time together. It's funny. In the grand scheme of things we don't think of and hour and a half as a lot of time, but for the two of us, it was time much needed. While [my daughter] and I are together a lot, we don't always have that uninterrupted time to just doing something totally focused. "
"When you asked what the girls learned about their moms, she whispered to me, "that my mom has time to have fun." We get so tied up in the hustle and chaos of work, life, school and scheduled activities, that we lose sight of just taking time to enjoy each other and be in the moment. I really appreciated have this [uninterrupted] time together."
"I know I am not the only mom that walked away today wanting to thank [Moms as Mentors] so much for giving me this special gift: a truly stress free happy lovely day with my daughter!"
"The program brought us closer together and imbued a sense of curiosity and 'working together' in our relationship that has carried forward, mostly in doing normal household tasks like cooking, cleaning, preparing for holidays, and running errands but there is lots of love & joy in those shared day-to-day experiences. That is what life is really about."
"Sometimes my daughter finds it hard to let me help her and the Moms as Mentors program really allowed a space for us to have where we could both explore ideas and do things together."
"I was surprised at how ingrained in my comfort zone I was with my daughter. This program took us outside of our regular lives for an afternoon and provided a platform for us to bond while learning and having lots of fun."
"She kissed me and told me she loved me over and over and kept saying what a great morning she had. We went out for lunch and continued talking about the bracelets and the activity. She was skeptical about coming out of her pjs on her day off but was so glad she had!"
"She snuggled with me and sat on my lap- and I'd pay any amount of money for that!"
"Another a great experience was watching [my daughter] create the entrepreneurial business plan…I was just so impressed with her abilities and imagination."
"[The program] encouraged me to create more opportunities in our everyday lives for us to experiment or try something new."
"We look to our schools, teachers, enrichment classes, sports programs to help our children achieve their fullest potential, but it really has to come from us, and nothing is more powerful than instilling curiosity and a love of learning. This program is a great reminder of how important it is to do that, and how we can all do that
"One of the things that struck me as we were driving home is that there are plenty of places to do stereotypical mother and daughter activities, art, shopping, beauty etc however; never have I been able to "use my brain" and "work" with my daughter on problem-solving. The day gave me an opportunity to model an example of what to do when challenged and showed [my daughter] that parents also need time to figure things out! I loved loved loved the fact that we did something "smart" together!"
"[My daughter] surprised me with how many creative ideas she offered, and how easy it was to work together on this project. I noticed no resistance, only enthusiasm, as we worked through the various obstacles of the activity…[my daughter] was overjoyed when she got the whole thing working!"
"It was also fun talking about subjects we normally do not discuss (like budgeting and engineering). I learned a lot more about her than I thought possible."
"We brought my daughter's grandmother and we all related to each other in a way we really have never had the chance to do. We collaborated together, and respected each other's ideas, and even learned new things about each other!"
"Wow! Thank you so much for organizing the Moms as Mentors program! I had such a great time and I learned so much about my mother." (Daughter Participant)
"I really walked away with a commitment to ensuring my daughter has the same opportunities to explore STEM. She was so excited to help build a roller coaster and I realized I subconsciously had not been thinking about engineering projects for her nearly as much as I do for my son."
"[My daughter] is constantly talking about her "business plan" to others. She even used our business plan in her class when they were discussing projects."
"After the Building Bridges! class my daughter told her teacher all about the inventions she created, and her teacher asked her to help design a STEM project for the class."
"I LOVED brainstorming with my daughter about building a business too...She was SO into it"
I love that [Moms As Mentors program] focuses on the mother-daughter relationship and uses STEM as a platform for building that relationship. It's fast, it's fun, it's valuable, and it's professionally developed and led."
"Even though it has been several months since we attended our last program, my daughter still talks about it frequently. She's always asking when we will go again."
"[My daughter] loved the afternoon and I think it gave both of us a memory to hold onto."
"The best part was how happy the program made my daughter. She really loved it. It is a lasting memory we share of our time together during her childhood."
What do girls say about our programs?
"Best day ever!"
Wow! Thank you so much for organizing the Moms as Mentors program! I had such a great time and I learned so much about my mother.

There are lots of great new products out for 2017! Little ones can develop their imaginations in the creative Smart Play: Loft and Smart Play: Nook. The adventurous ones in your care can climb to new heights with the geometic Geoplex, and kids can span the globe with Global Motion! Also new for this year is the rebranded Aquatix water play line by Landscape structures!
Smart Play: Nook & Smart Play: Loft
Our newest addition to the Smart Play line of products are Smart Play: Loft 2-5 and Smart Play: Nook 6-23 months. These Seussey looking play houses are perfect for early childhood with their age appropriate play events, and bright, inviting colors. These pieces were also developed with the help of an organization called "Too Small To Fail." Their "Talking is Teaching" program influences caregivers to interact with children on the playground. Strategically placed panels get kids talking and learning about the world around them by looking at and thinking about the images on the panels. Caregivers read what is on the panels, and kids use the pictures to figure out their answers. It is an amazing idea, and such a great way to get the parent – child interaction that is so often missing on the playground!
The Loft is 2-5 age appropriate and packed with 20 different play events including:
- Mailbox Talk Tubes
- Slide
- Crawl Tunnel
- Belt Climber
- Clock
- Bubble Panel
- and more!
The Nook is 6-23 months age appropriate and, true to form as a Smart Play piece, also includes 20 different play features including:
- Doorbell
- Side Step
- Balance Rail
- Table with Seats
- Flower Marbles
- Mirror
- and more!
Both the Nook and the Loft are available in any of our Permalene colors, and come with a free age appropriate welcome sign with every purchase. To learn more about these two awesome new pieces, click here!
Geoplex – Climb To New Heights
Geoplex is our newest line of climbers for PlayBooster, or for use as a Freestanding element. These funky designs are both eye catching, and fun to use! The climbers can be used in a natural color scheme, to give you a rocky, natural look without the high costs associated with a GFRC product. They can also be done in a brighter color scheme to give a more modern, eye catching look to your new structure. Geoplex is completely modular, and can be manipulated in many ways to meet your space and budget needs. For more information on Geoplex click here!
Global Motion – Span the World!
Next on our amazing 2017 product list is the Global Motion! This cool new piece is genuinely an all inclusive playground product. Kids can climb, spin, or sit and relax. The Global Motion is also wheelchair accessible. There are two large openings for access, and a platform at wheelchair height for easy transition. Kids can climb on the inside and outside of the structure, giving the adventurous ones in your care a challenge. But fear not, the Global Motion also has a speed regulator build in so that dare devils can't go too fast! To learn more about this great new playground independent, click here!
Last in playground equipment and new for this year, are some great new speedy, windy, swooshy new slides for the little ones in your care to check out too!
Aquatix – The Fun Is In The Water!
Early in 2016 we announced that Landscape Structures had acquired a new water play line through Aquatic Recreation Company (ARC). Working together with ARC, Landscape was able to re-brand the line into something more akin to the vision that is Landscape Structures.
The re-branding became official in January of 2017, and along with the new name came a bunch of awesome new water features! These innovative, sleek, and modern looking stainless steel events are stunning to look at, easy to clean and maintain, and most importantly, are super fun for the kids!
What would a Landscape Structures product be without the innovative look and features right?! The VersoSplash is a new spin on the ever popular dumping buckets offered by our competitors. The problem with traditional buckets is there is a large concentration of water coming down on a child at full force, which can in turn knock them down. The VersoSplash's dish like platform under the bucket distributes water in an arc, so the force is much less than with a typical dumping bucket feature. It makes it a great piece for kids of all ages!
That is just one of the amazing new pieces we have available. There are ground sprays, misters, other forms of dumping buckets, cannons, and so much more!
One of Landscape's best advantages is their color lineup. We have the most extensive, and eye catching colors on the market. These colors can be pulled into the Aquatix play features, giving your splash pad a cohesive look to your playground. It really gives a "WOW" factor to your new space!
Contact your local Sales Manager to learn more about these and all of the other great products new for this year! We look forward to hearing from you!

Navigating the healthcare system can be a scary thing, especially for patients who are faced with a debilitating illness that may require ongoing care. Knowing where to turn can be frightening.
Over the last 20 years, Northwest Vista College has put out a small army of community health students who are helping residents figure out what healthcare and social resources are available to them. Like a social worker, NVC's Community Health program is focused on the health and wellness of the patient.
Guadalupe Cornejo received an associates degree of applied science of community health in 2011. Since earning her degree, she's been able to apply every concept she's learned in her position.
"According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, community and social service specialist jobs are expected to increase 26 percent by the year 2022 in the Alamo region"
"I work in collaboration with community partners and colleagues in my field coordinating and facilitating access to health screenings by hosting health fairs in underserved communities in San Antonio," she said.
The Northwest Vista College Community Health program has been a leader in this field since 1998 with the majority of its alumni working in community health. In the last six years, there has been a proliferation of jobs that need workers knowledgeable in community health. The NVC program prepares students to work in public health, private healthcare delivery systems, community-based social service agencies and healthcare insurance organizations. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, community and social service specialist jobs are expected to increase 26 percent by the year 2022 in the Alamo region.
Dr. Fernando Martinez, NVC's Community Health coordinator, said nearly 400 students have completed the program since 2005 when he became coordinator.
"Physicians and clinicians want their patients to live healthy and fulfilling lives. Community health workers' ability to form relationships and influence behavior with vulnerable populations who have significant medical and social issues is unparalleled," Dr. Martinez explained. "We have evidence of improved outcomes when community health workers are part of the team."
"Community health workers' ability to form relationships and influence behavior with vulnerable populations who have significant medical and social issues is unparalleled" -Dr. Fernando Martinez
Armida V. Flores received a community health certificate from NVC several years ago. Originally from Mexico, Flores has excelled academically while helping her community as well. She started off by taking English as a Second Language classes, getting her GED, associate degree and eventually a bachelor's degree.
Currently, she's employed as a health educator at the Institute for Health Promotion Research at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. One of her job duties is to help cancer survivors navigate the complex healthcare system.
"I firmly believe that having a degree in community health helped me to obtain this gratifying job," Flores shared with a smile.

Ophelia Benson has the worst job in the blogosphere. She reads the papers of cultural studies and post-colonial academics – and given their obscurantism she often must be their only reader – and explains how intellectuals who affect a liberal style, are imbued with reactionary ideas. The regurgitators of received wisdom hate her for it. As I mentioned in an earlier piece in Standpoint, she was on the receiving end of the fullest stomach load of bile literary London puked up last year.
Undaunted, she carries on.
Here she is on a disgraceful effort by the Cambridge Review of International Affairs to turn a defence of the men who abuse women into a left-wing cause, by denigrating the efforts of Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan, a feminist group which tries to give Afghan girls education, healthcare and the right not to be forced into "marriage" before they are 16 (as half Afghan girls are).

Up North writing
A book signing by author Mary Pickens will be held at the Bean & Leaf Coffee Shop on the corner of Main Street and University in Rochester from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 19; and from 5 to 8 p.m., Monday, Aug. 20.
Pickens debuts her novel, "For All of Our Days," a love story that is set in the small Northern Michigan fishing village of Arcadia.
The author was a long-time resident of Northern Michigan and is familiar with that of which she writes. She fished in many of the lakes and streams that dotted the landscape around Platte Bay, Manistee and the Little Betsy. She is as comfortable discussing salmon fishing up north as she is with the intricacies of manufacturing in Detroit.
"For All of Our Days" is not a typical romance novel. The main characters are not love-struck teen-agers, but rather adults in their early 40s who have experienced years of failed relationships. The small fishing village of Arcadia is depicted in such detail that readers will be transported by Pickens' words.
Follow Marc and Jenny through Kingsley, Traverse City, Old Mission Peninsula, Leland, Birch Run, Cadillac and several land mark establishments throughout Michigan.
"For All of Our Days" will capture the hearts and imaginations of romance fans with a love story that is both powerful and realistic.
The 334 page book is available in soft cover at $19.95, hardcover at $32.95. It may be purchased on Nook, Kindle and iPad or at the Pickens web page site: www.ForAllOfOurDays.ShortURL.com

Many Oklahoma homes are very receptive to trick or treaters and encourage it with their many decorations celebrating the holiday and the fall season. But no matter how peaceful you think a neighborhood to be, you should always take precautions and be on your guard when going up to a stranger's house, or letting your children go. Children 12 and under should ALWAYS be accompanied by an adult when trick or treating. To help ensure your children have a safe holiday, here are some tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), an organization dedicated to the health of all children. ALL DRESSED UP: – Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame. – Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility. – Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic makeup and decorative hats as safer alternatives. Hats should fit properly to prevent them from sliding over eyes. – When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories look for and purchase those with a label clearly indicating they are flame resistant. – If a sword, cane, or stick is a part of your child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or too long. A child may be easily hurt by these accessories if he stumbles or trips. – Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts. – Do not use decorative contact lenses without an eye examination and a prescription from an eye care professional. While the packaging on decorative lenses will often make claims such as "one size fits all," or "no need to see an eye specialist," obtaining decorative contact lenses without a prescription is both dangerous and illegal. This can cause pain, inflammation, and serious eye disorders and infections, which may lead to permanent vision loss. – Teach children how to call 9-1-1 (or their local emergency number) if they have an emergency or become lost. CARVING A NICHE: – Small children should never carve pumpkins. Children can draw a face with markers. Then parents can do the cutting. – Consider using a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle to light your pumpkin. If you do use a candle, a votive candle is safest. – Candlelit pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains and other flammable objects, and should never be left unattended. HOME SAFE HOME: – To keep homes safe for visiting trick-or-treaters, parents should remove from the porch and front yard anything a child could trip over such as garden hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decorations. – Parents should check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs. – Wet leaves or snow should be swept from sidewalks and steps. – Restrain pets so they do not inadvertently jump on or bite a trick-or-treater. ON THE TRICK-OR-TREAT TRAIL: – A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds. – If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time when they should return home. – Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat. – Because pedestrian injuries are the most common injuries to children on Halloween, remind Trick-or-Treaters. – Stay in a group and communicate where they will be going. – Remember reflective tape for costumes and trick-or-treat bags. – Carry a cellphone for quick communication. – Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. – If no sidewalk is available, walk at the far edge of the roadway facing traffic. – Never cut across yards or use alleys. – Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks (as recognized by local custom). Never cross between parked cars or out driveways. – Don't assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing Trick-or-Treaters. Just because one car stops, doesn't mean others will! – Law enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity. HEALTHY HALLOWEEN: – A good meal prior to parties and trick-or-treating will discourage youngsters from filling up on Halloween treats. – Consider purchasing non-food treats for those who visit your home, such as coloring books or pens and pencils. – Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped or suspicious items. – Try to ration treats for the days following Halloween. http://firstmedok.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/halloween_safety_tips270-thumb-270x270.jpg 270 270 First Med Urgent Care OKC & Edmond http://firstmedok.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/FirstMedUrgentCare.png First Med Urgent Care OKC & Edmond2013-10-25 13:01:422015-09-16 15:03:18Trick or Treating in Oklahoma - Halloween Safety Tips

When a fellow photographer contacted me to document her unmedicated hospital birth, I jumped at the chance. Timing would have it though that Katy was due just 9 days after I was to return from my trip overseas, which made it a bit tricky. But fate intervened and she ended up in labor 6 weeks early, and way before my trip! We had originally planned for me to return from my trip, and if she hadn't given birth yet, I would attend after meeting her. But I ended up documenting the birth of Baby E, without having met Katy or her husband Ben beforehand. Katy had her birth plan, an amazing and supportive husband, a helpful sister, an incredible nurse (who pulled a shift and a half, due to staff shortage) who was with her the entire time. It was quite the birth team, and with her special music playing on her computer next her bed, she labored beautifully and so calmly, I was in AWE of her. Even though 6 weeks early, Baby E. was born healthy and strong enough to avoid having to go to the NICU.
Thank you, Katy and Ben, for allowing me to photograph your beautiful birth story!

Lemongrass beef skewers in baguettes (Banh mi kep bo xien sa)
Vendors of this popular late afternoon snack vigorously fan their braziers, not only to keep the charcoals burning but to disperse the tantalising aroma of the marinated meat among the hungry after-work crowds.
- Thinly slice the steak and place in a bowl. Place the shallots, garlic, lemongrass and chilli in a large mortar and use the pestle to grind the mixture into a fine paste.
- Add the sesame seeds and crush with the pestle.
- Spoon the paste and the fish sauce over the meat, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Soak 12 bamboo skewers in water for 1 hour to prevent them from burning during cooking.
- Thread the meat onto the skewers and cook on a hot chargrill or barbecue grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Meanwhile, split the baguettes in half lengthways. Place the lettuce, cucumber, coriander sprigs and extra chilli inside the baguettes.
- Place two of the cooked skewers inside each baguette.
- Hold onto the baguette and gently pull out the skewers.

Need Emergency Edmonton Plumber - 587 410 4277
One of the major requirements for an ultra-clean bathroom or kitchen is shiny faucets and plumbing fixtures. Plumbing fixtures are shiny and look enhancing when newly installed by an Edmonton plumber, but over a period of time, they lose their luster. The reason being their metallic nature. Metals have a tendency to corrode over a period of time. However, you do not need to get a new plumbing system as you can get the shine back. Try these corrosion stain removal ideas for your plumbing fixtures.
Elbow Grease
Elbow grease refers to the exertion you apply while rigorously cleaning or scrubbing. In order to remove the corrosion stains from your plumbing fixtures, the first thing to try is scrubbing out the affected area to remove the flakes of rust. You can use a pad, a pumice stone or fine steel wool to scrub out the flakes.
Rusting or corrosion of metal takes place when it is exposed to high levels of oxygen and moisture. The best way to tackle rust or corrosion stains is by applying acids. The most easily available and safe kind of acid which you can use is vinegar. It is a good technique to use for plumbing fixtures which are detachable. Soaking such corroded fixtures in white vinegar overnight will bring back the shine.
Another good and easily found acidic item is a lemon. You could combine it with some salt to enhance the result. Just rub some salt over the corroded area and squeeze lemon over it. After some time, scrub it using a scourer or steel wool. It is recommended to use the rind of lemon as it will avoid any further damage.
Cola Drinks
You may not know, but when it comes to cleaning, cola drink is a good option. Cola has a high amount of phosphoric acid which is an important ingredient in rust and corrosion removal products. The only challenge with this technique is the cleaning up after rust removal as cola drinks are sweet and sticky.
Oxalic Acid Stain Remover
If the corrosion stains are way too stubborn, you could buy an oxalic acid stain remover from the market. Make sure you read the instructions properly before making use of these removers as they can be poisonous.
Corrosion stains are common signs of basic wear and tear of your plumbing fixtures. You can make use of the above techniques to get rid of corrosion. If the water you are receiving is colored, generally reddish-brown or greenish in color, it is a clear sign of internal corrosion in your pipes, which can only be replaced. To replace your pipes and get your plumbing inspected, get an Edmonton plumber to have a look at your plumbing system.
