Each lecture will be held at 2:00pm, at the UBC Okanagan campus in UNC 106.
Monday, September 30 | Natalie Ball
"I make art as proposals of refusal to complicate an easily affirmed and consumed narrative and identity without absolutes."
Natalie Ball was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. She has a Bachelor's degree with a double major in Ethnic Studies and Art from the University of Oregon. She furthered her education in New Zealand at Massey University where she attained her Master's degree, focusing on Indigenous contemporary art.

Monday, November 18 | Nicholas Galanin
Tlingit/Unangax̂/ Multi-Disciplinary Artist
Nicholas Galanin's work offers perspective rooted in connection to land and an intentionally broad engagement with contemporary culture. For over a decade, Galanin has been embedding incisive observation into his work, investigating and expanding intersections of culture and concept in form, image and sound. Galanin's works embody critical thought. They are vessels of knowledge, culture and technology – inherently political, generous, unflinching, and poetic.
Galanin apprenticed with master carvers and jewelers, earned his BFA at London Guildhall University in Jewelry Design, and his MFA in Indigenous Visual Arts at Massey University in New Zealand, he lives and works with his family in Sitka, Alaska.
Monday, February 24 | Hellen Reed and Hannah Jickling
Helen Reed and Hannah Jickling have been collaborating since 2007 and are currently based in Vancouver, Canada, on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. Their projects take shape as public installations, social situations, and events that circulate as photographs, videos, printed matter, and artists' multiples. They are currently fascinated with the contact high intrinsic to collaborative research, especially in their recent projects with children. In Fall 2017 they released Multiple Elementary, a book that explores the elementary school classroom as a site of invention and reception of contemporary art practices, published by YYZBOOKS. Their platform for research and production, Big Rock Candy Mountain, is ongoing in Vancouver and supported by Other Sights for Artists' Projects. Reed and Jickling are recipients of the 2016 Ian Wallace Award for Teaching Excellence (ECUAD), the 2017 Mayor's Arts Award for Emerging Public Art (City of Vancouver) and the 2018 VIVA Award (Shadbolt Foundation). In 2018, they were longlisted for the Sobey Art Award.
Monday, March 9 | Krista Belle Stewart
Krista Belle Stewart is an artist and member of the Syilx Nation. Stewart works with video, land, performance, photography, textiles, and sound, drawing out personal and political narratives inherent in archival materials while questioning their articulation in institutional histories.

Government's Unlawful Termination of Contract for Default
Government contractors may find themselves dealing with a unlawful termination of contract for default on a federal construction project.
Although it is clear that something is wrong with the termination action, many construction companies are not familiar enough with the underlying regulations that govern terminations for default. Therefore, the decision whether or not to appeal the contracting officer's decision can be difficult.
As a general rule, the contracting officer has discretion on whether or not to terminate the contract. However, the contracting officer must not make a termination for cause decision in an "arbitrary and capricious manner." See Darwin Constr. Co. v. United States, 811 F.2d 593, 596 (Fed. Cir. 1987).
Legal Requirements for Appealing Unlawful Termination of Contract for Default in Federal Government Construction
Unlike most government contract litigation cases, when you assert an unlawful termination of contract that stems from termination for default, the agency bears the legal burden of proof to show that the termination was justified. After that, you then have to provide evidence of excuse or a valid reason why the termination was unreasonable. DCX, Inc. v. Perry, 79 F.3d 132, 135 (Fed. Cir. 1996).
- When you respond to a cure notice or show cause letter, you have to provide adequate assurances that you could timely perform according to the contract terms. When responding to a cure notice from the CO, you also want to show that would be no delays in the performance of the contract. Read more about delays in construction contracts and FAR Changes Clause.
What happens when a delay in performance slows down your schedule? The agency should not terminate your right to proceed under the default clause when such delay in completing the work results from unforeseeable circumstances beyond your control or without your fault or negligence. See FAR 52.249-10(b)(1). This includes:
- Unusually severe weather conditions
- Weather conditions that substantially impact site conditions
Construction contractors have an obligation to notify the contracting officer about any delays: The contracting officer should make a determination as to whether additional time is warranted. Failure to consider all of the important facts could result in a wrongful termination of construction contracts. Courts look to the reasonableness of the CO's decision to terminate the construction contract for default. Therefore, when retaining an attorney, you must provide every detail that shows why the agency termination actions were unreasonable.
The government must justify final decision to terminate: The contracting agency must reasonably believe that there is a likelihood that you can perform the entire contract effort within the time remaining for contract performance. See Limitations on the Government's Right to Terminate a Contract for Default.
When courts decide a wrongful termination of contract for default in government construction cases it is a question of law: The facts and circumstances surrounding a termination for cause appeal are critical to the court's legal decision. Therefore, you should keep track of all communications that show you acted reasonably, and that the wrongful termination for default actually occurred through no fault of your own.

4 out of 4 stars
Share This Review
Someone had purposely turned the security camera away right before the robbery. Molly was determined to find out who had the means and the motive to cause the recent chaos at Robert K. Howard Middle School. Author Dan Kilday tells the suspenseful story of Molly Warner in his work of children's fiction titled Molly Warner: School Reporter.
Much to the annoyance of her science teacher, Mr. Pinkleton, Molly Warner was a gossip. When the news of her ability to share the latest information with her friends reached Principal Vernon, Mr. Pinkleton was more than pleased to escort Molly to the principal's office. The meeting did not go the way that the science teacher had hoped that it would. Instead of handing down a punishment, Principal Vernon placed Molly Warner on the staff of the Scratching Post, the school newspaper! Molly took her new position very seriously. She had a true talent for reporting the news, and she certainly had her work cut out for her when a string of strange occurrences struck the school. Molly's resolve to find and report the facts leads her on an exciting journey to the truth about many of her teachers and fellow classmates.
This is children's fiction at its finest. It has a bit of everything for young readers to enjoy including humor, mystery, and suspense. Even as an adult I was trying to work out "who done it" as I read.
This is a well-written and well-organized book. There is one editing error that occurs quite continually. Principal Vernon is often called and referred to as Prince Vern. This was very distracting. At first, I thought that it was an ironic nickname, but I highly doubt that the children would say it directly to the school principal. Still, the story comfortably flows from one scene to the next making it pleasant to read.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The story is fun and entertaining with interesting, relatable characters. Young readers ages ten to twelve would enjoy this book. I would love to recommend this book to younger readers, but there is one mildly profane word in the text that I find inappropriate for readers younger than ten. Still, this is a well-written story with a purpose. The themes and lessons of the importance of the first amendment of the United States Constitution, friendship, and determination are clear and presented in an understandable way.

Whew, I just got back from Dallas and let me tell you something, that's quite a distance away. (1300 miles away to be exact.) Let me just fill you in on some of things that took place in the Lonestar State. On Tuesday, when we arrived, I was greeted with 95 degrees of heat, compared to the 75 that I left behind in Pennsylvania, there was a significant difference. We pretty much just hung out Tuesday and met up with fellow Pennsylvanian Chad Reichard (Nations Capital Deputy Jurisdictional Master Councilor), and went out to Chilli's, which if you didn't know, is Dad Boyce's favorite place to eat during trips to DeMolay International. After Chilli's we had some more fun at the movie's. Anyway, on Wednesday we woke up and went to downtown Dallas to learn more about President Kennedy's assassination. We took a tour of "The 6th Floor" a Museum actually on the same floor that Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK. I stood 5 feet away from the spot where the actual shots went off, it was eerie!
Following the tour we went out to do some investigating of our own, Howard played in traffic while I snooped around the grassy knoll. After our fun endeavors while Downtown, we headed back to the amazing Hilton Dallas. The opening session of the congress started that night and the question was finally answered Dallas does know we're here! Thursday opened with breakout committiee meetings (I chose ritual and regalia while Howard chose Honors and Awards). The groups discussed challenges that the jurisdictions had and how other jurisdictions work through their own problems. It was a big eye opener as to how other jurisdictions worked! Well I have to get to bed, more to come soon!
Bro. Tom Moyer, Deputy State Master Councilor

Lost chapter of Nelly´s Lonely Planet: Crucita.
Crucita is a fishing town somewhere halfway the north coast of Ecuador that borders Colombia, and the south coast that continues in Peruvian territory. The reason to go there on a holiday is: Ecuadorians go there. That means that people from the region head there to unwind (must be something tranquil then?) and that means few gringo´s. Perfect.
Right along the beach lays the main road, where tuctucs offer bumpy rides to those who don´t feel like walking ten minutes to the other side of town. Carrier tricycles that function as food stalls stand on the road side, while the owner shares the local daily news and gossip with a friend, apparently without any interest of selling anything. Children on bicycles that are way too big, and adults on bicycles that are way to small, and men in swimming shorts or families of four (including babies) on motorcycles sway along the holes and bumps over the dusty road that turns into a pool of mud in a few minutes when it rains. Because of the tropical temperatures, umbrellas and rain jackets aren´t used here. The shops, restaurants and houses along the seaside are made of wood or bamboo with cane roofs, alternating with ones made of concrete or irregular brick stone walls and corrugated iron.
Trucks come from inland towns to sell their vegetables and fruits, and the row of fishing boats explains why 80% of the main road consists of fish and seafood restaurants. At times when the boats aren´t out on the sea, men sit together playing cards, being manly and whistling to every female passant of up to thirty years. If you look into (or walk into) one of the little side roads trying to ignore them or avoid them, you see an even more chaotic collection of creative constructions on both sides of the sand that´s just broad enough for one and a half cars. Or two moto-taxi´s if you want.
On the beach people walk with or without a dog and dogs with or without an owner. A handful of people stands in the luke warm water of the ocean and on the seaside children run away from the water screaming excitedly when the waves come rolling in faster that expected. When the tide changes and the beach becomes narrower, a few surfers appear. After a little warming op for the sake of it, they soon paddle towards the washing waves. And every fifteen minutes a bus passes by saying "Crucita internacional". Though that´s maybe a little ambitious, the place is perfectly fine to spend a day or two of tranquility if that´s what you´re looking for.
How to get there and away? – You can surely find (semi-)direct busses if you want to make an effort and if you like planning your trip, but it´s easier and more fun (just not faster) to take a bus that goes at least in the right direction. Although most of the times they only go as far as "halfway" wherever you want to go. (See also my blog "Between the mountains and the sea"). "Crucita internacional" goes every fifteen minutes to Portoviejo.
Where to stay? - There are plenty of hostels and rooms at every corner and side road, where you can get a private room for ten to fifteen dollars. Don´t bother asking for hot water: they´ll surely say that they have it, they most probably don´t and you won´t want to use it anyway. At least not in the rainy season when the burning sun heats up the vibrant air before and after the rain comes. If you get out of the bus feeling overheat and you´re willing to pay a few dollars more for a swimming pool in front of your door, check first if you can see the bottom of it. If you can´t and if there´s no filter either, it´s best to just go swimming in the sea in order to avoid that tropical micro-organisms enter your body. To get rid of the sand and the salt, you have your cold shower anyway. Actually, that cold shower is hot after midday. Don´t accept the offers from hostel staff who want to be your personal tourist guide.
What to do? – A Dutch cabaretier once came up with a quote about his hometown: "A traffic light turns red, a traffic light turns green, in Almelo there´s always something happening." Although there´s not a single traffic light in Crucita, that´s quite an appropriate description. The main road and the beach are the main attractions, and one of the most interesting things to do is sitting and watching the daily entertainment there. On the beach there´s families with three or four generations represented, physical education classes with a human obstacle race and then a swimming session in sports clothes to wash off at least most of the sand, and with groups of youngsters trying to make a picture without getting their feet wet. Mothers with children that can hardly walk, football and ecua-volley players that only leave the beach when the dark makes it impossible for them to continue their game, and elderly in old fashioned beachwear walk hand in hand trying to make their way to the water. And there´s of course the hammock-population that keeps an eye on all that while swaying in the breeze underneath the wooden lifeguard tower. Or you can go paragliding from the nearest hill top if you want to. (?)
What to eat? – Fish is the new chicken, especially for those who come from Quito. Shrimps, squid, octopus or simply "pescado" (fish, undefined) from the morning catch, prepared in any way you want: fried, breaded, cooked, as filet or turned into a tortilla or ceviche. You can order it all anywhere along the main road of course, for four to eight dollars.
Dangers and annoyances – The direct danger doesn´t come from other human beings, as is the case in the capital, but from the combination of sun, wind and water: the perfect conditions to get your shoulders sunburned in half a day in spite of using sunscreen factor 50. But other than that, you can trust the villagers when they say "aqui no pasa nada" (nothing will happen here). They don´t count the whistling men and gringa-hunters as an annoyance, though. The best tactic is to completely ignore them, or if you couldn´t escape, to say that you´re just about to leave and/or that your fiancé is waiting for you in your hostel, in Quito or at home.
Have fun and… relax! :D

Bareback riding history made at 100th Cody Stampede
by Matt Naber | Jul 04, 2019
PRCA Media Coordinator
CODY, Wyo. – The 100th annual
Cody (Wyo.) Stampede
was one for the record books, and not just because it was celebrating a century of competition.
Caleb Bennett
made one of the
highest-scored bareback rides in ProRodeo history
with a 93.5-point ride on Frontier Rodeo's Gun Fire.
Either live or on
, over the last four days fans witnessed
Orin Larsen
break the
previous Cody record
with a 93-point ride on C5 Rodeo's Make Up Face – one of only a handful of cowboys to achieve such a score. Larsen's record stood for two days before Bennett made his ride.
"I was talking to Orin Larsen and jokingly said that I'd be coming for him," Bennett laughed. "We were all joking with him about it. I told him I had Gun Fire so don't get too comfortable because I'm trying to get 94, but 93.5 will work."
Bennett's joke turned into reality July 4.
"The scores were stacking up, and it was incredible bareback riding this week and incredible talent riding them," Bennett said. "To get a win at this rodeo is a blessing and very humbling."
Only four bareback riders in ProRodeo history have scored higher than Bennett with 94 points – Wes Stevenson (2002),
Will Lowe
(2003), Ryan Gray (2009) and
Tilden Hooper
Bennett, 30, knew he was in for a good ride as he won the
Fiesta Days Rodeo
in Spanish Fork, Utah, with an 87-point ride on Gun Fire. It was all Bennett could think about after Cody's draw was announced.
"I'm a firm believer that thoughts become things, and if you think about it hard enough, it comes close to happening that way," Bennett said. " That's a heck of a way to win a rodeo."
But he didn't know he and Gun Fire have a history of success in Cody.
, Bennett won the Wrangler Champions Challenge event in Cody with an 87-point ride, about six weeks after the Cody Stampede. Then in
, bareback rider
Tyler Nelson
won the Cody Stampede with an 86-point ride on Frontier Rodeo's Gun Fire.
A cowboy often knows he'll make a high score before his feet touch the ground.
"It's almost indescribable," Bennett said. "It's like you float in the air and there's electricity and strength and power and all of it mixed into one. If you focus and slow it down, it's unreal and almost like you have wings."
Before winning Cody, Bennett was ranked eighth in the
2019 PRCA | RAM World Standings
with $63,821 and fourth in the
ProRodeo Tour Standings
with 2,420.43 points. With the $9,842 he won in Cody, along with the ProRodeo Tour points he collected, both of those positions are likely to improve.
"There's so much more money and more good rodeos putting up the money, and the bareback riding is unreal this year," Bennett said. "So many guys who could be 90 (points) with the flip of a coin could get from 25th to 15th in the world (standings)."
With seven consecutive qualifications for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (2012-18) and more than $1.33 million won since his rookie year in 2007, Bennett knows what it takes to excel in ProRodeo.
"As a rodeo athlete there are times where you ask yourself, 'Can I do this?'" Bennett said. "You've got to block that out and feed the positives, like, 'I know I can ride this horse because I'd done it before'. But to do it at that extent is the icing on the cake for your mental game because there is so much money left to be won after Cowboy Christmas is done."
Other winners at the $353,641 rodeo were all-around cowboy
Stetson Wright
($6,637 in saddle bronc riding and bull riding); steer wrestler
Clayton Hass
(3.8 seconds); team ropers
Lane Ivy
Cesar de la Cruz
(4.5 seconds); saddle bronc riders
Dawson Hay
(89.5 points on Mo Betta Rodeo's Sue City Sue) and
Jake Wright
(89.5 points on Frontier Rodeo's Big News); tie-down roper
Reese Riemer
(8.2 seconds); barrel racer Carly Taylor (17.04 seconds) and bull rider
Parker Breding
(92.5 points on Summit Pro Rodeo's Turnabout).

Is your skin looking dry and wrinkled? Did you know that dehydration makes skin look older, fine lines more noticeable and nails brittle?
Fight the signs of ageing by staying well hydrated from the inside out. Our skincare specialist Emily Louise, from Emily Louise Beauty & Aesthetics in Kettering Northamptonshire, shares her professional tips:
1. Rehydrate with fluids
Water is essential for health but it also has a big impact on your skin and nails as it:
flushes toxins
supports vitamin consumption
replenishes tissue
increases skin elasticity
Which all adds up to clear, glowing skin and stronger, flexible nails with less chance of breakage.
"Drinking water is one of the easiest ways to maintain beautiful, youthful skin and nails. It's readily available and yet most people aren't consuming the recommended 6-8 glasses (1-2 litres) a day," explains Emily.
"Water is lost throughout your body constantly so you need to continually replace it. Skin cells that are lacking in water turn dry, tight and flaky.
"A common misconception is your body needs water when you feel thirsty; however by the time you are thirsty your body is already dehydrated. So try to sip water regularly throughout the day - your skin will thank you. And don't forget, water is found in fruit, soups, 100% fruit juices and decaffeinated beverages."
2. Daily exfoliation and moisturising for radiant skin
It's also really important to keep your skin on the outside too. "Exfoliate and moisturise," recommends Emily
. "Commit to exfoliating on a regular basis - it sloughs away dead, flaky skin revealing fresh skin cells. Then apply moisturiser to retain water, ideally one containing SPF to protect your skin from the sun's harmful drying UV rays."
Give your anti-ageing routine a kick-start this spring with our Anti-aging facial and non surgical face lift, powered by breakthrough technology and potent nutrients to provide a sculpted and youthful effect.
3. Are dry wrinkled hands letting you down?
Remember to apply hand cream with a SPF throughout the day and massage it in to nails and cuticles to keep them soft, smooth and hydrated. Obvious but so easy to forget...
"I buy travel size products and keep them everywhere - in my handbag, by the sink, in my gym bag and by my bed - so I can always top up on the go," says Emily.
"Another tip is to wash your hands with warm, not hot, water, as extreme temperatures strips your skin and nails of their natural healthy oils and causes excessive dryness."
Smoking isn't just bad for your health. It will make your skin look older and more wrinkled and can stain fingers and nails.
4. Eat your way to a gorgeous complexion

Abnormal regulation of glycemia (dysglycemia) has a very long time course, from its earliest stage, labeled pre-diabetes, to the onset of Type 2 diabetes (T2D), to the development of clinically detectable microvascular changes and measurable atherosclerosis, to clinically manifest complications with attendant morbidity and mortality. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) focused on the pre-diabetes stage of dysglycemia and demonstrated powerful beneficial effects of lifestyle intervention (ILS) and metformin (MET), compared with placebo (PLBO), in preventing or delaying the onset of T2D over a 3-year period in a high-risk population (n=3234). The DPP also investigated and described the interventions, phenotypic and genotypic risk factors associated with T2D development, the effects of the interventions in the setting of these risk factors, the health economic implications of T2D prevention, and other outcomes of interest. Based on these results, the DPP lifestyle program has been widely implemented. The 11-year follow-up DPP Outcomes Study (DPPOS) explored the longer-term effects of T2D prevention, bridging the period between pre-diabetes and T2D, and examined outcomes that required more time to develop than the relatively brief 3-years of DPP. DPPOS showed longer-term salutary effects of the original interventions on T2D prevention and on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Prevention was cost-saving with MET and cost-effective with ILS. Overall, the risk for microvascular disease was significantly greater in subjects who developed T2D and increased with longer duration and higher hemoglobin A1c (A1C). There were no significant differences by treatment group in the prevalence of the aggregate microvascular outcome; however, compared with PLBO and MET, ILS significantly reduced the risk of microvascular disease among women and those who had A1C ?6.5% at study end. The proposed DPPOS Phase 3 will study the DPPOS cohort for 10 more years, taking advantage of the long-term randomized exposure to MET and the densely phenotyped and genotyped DPPOS cohort (n=2778), which includes nearly 1600 patients with known T2D duration and ~1200 who have not developed T2D, to address yet unanswered questions about long-term exposure to MET and ILS initiated during pre-diabetes. DPPOS Phase 3 will examine outcomes that are of increasing public health concern in the aging population with pre-diabetes and T2D, including the putative benefits of MET on development of CVD and cancer. The main goals of DPPOS Phase 3 are to examine efficiently: 1) the long-term effects of metformin therapy begun in the pre-diabetic phase on risk for CVD and cancer; 2) the long-term effects by intention-to-treat of ILS and MET on further development of T2D and on traditional and more recently recognized complications of dysglycemia, and of their economic impact; and 3) the clinical course of dysglycemia, evaluated by categorical diagnoses (pre-diabetes vs diabetes) and as a continuum, and their associations with the development of complications, including analyses of interactions with DPP interventions and established and novel risk factors.
Pre-diabetes and T2D affect >100,000,000 individuals in the U.S., with the total cost of T2D currently estimated at $245 billion. Understanding the effects of preventing or delaying T2D on human disease, the potential long-term benefits of lifestyle intervention and metformin, one of the most commonly used medications in the world, and the clinical course of pre-diabetes and T2D is critical if we are to apply prevention and treatment methods effectively and efficiently. The current proposal will examine the long-term effects of the early use - starting before diabetes develops - of metformin and lifestyle changes on development of significant morbidities such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, and help understand the clinical course of abnormal glucose levels from the pre-diabetic state through early and more advanced T2D.

Growing up (and now), I was always drawn to oversized button downs paired with leggings or skinny jeans, flow-y dresses that lacked structure and t-shirts big enough to cozy-up in night after night. Unfortunately, the only people I saw wearing these kinds of outfits were a lot thinner than I was. On top of that, too, I was constantly told that baggy clothes and oversized outfits on plus-size women were just "unflattering." If I wanted to wear a glorified sack (which I often did!), I risked looking "larger than I was" or "hiding my figure." Of course, if a top or pants were too tight, I wouldn't hear the end of that, either. Basically, I couldn't win. What I wanted to wear was never good enough for society. Either I was hiding my body too much or not enough. Whatever I did, my body was still unacceptable. I'd never look thin enough no matter what I wore.
But I'm reclaiming oversized clothes, y'all. If I want to wear an oversized men's button down from Goodwill, I will not only do it, but I'll look amazing. Being comfortable in whatever I wear has always been my prerogative, so oversized shirts and dresses are what I love. Huge sweaters in the winter? Hell yes. Crop tops a couple sizes too big in the summer? I'll be wearing 'em. Sure, I have a waist I like to show off occasionally. But when I do, it's my decision, not society's. Until I feel like wearing clothes deemed "flattering" on me, I'll be over here in my baggy clothes living my best damn life.
To inspire you to wear whatever the fuck makes you comfortable, here are some incredibly stylish plus-size Instagram babes in oversized clothes for your perusal. From baggy crop tops to oversized dresses, these cuties are here to remind you that your body looks great in anything. Keep your eyes peeled for a gal in an oversized top and mom jeans this summer, because it's probably me.
A babe.
We stan.
All the yes.
Never looked better.
Ultimate street style.
A neon dream.
A queen.
Fun in the sun.
Wildin' out.
Can't get enough.
Blinded by this beauty.
Stunning, stunning, stunning.
Heart eyes all day.
So, so dreamy.

Contrary to popular belief, eating dairy products has never been shown to reduce fracture risk. In fact, according to the Nurses' Health Study dairy may increase risk of fractures by 50 percent! • Less dairy, better bones. Countries with lowest rates of dairy and calcium consumption (like those in Africa and Asia) have the lowest rates of osteoporosis. • Calcium isn't as bone-protective as we thought. Studies of calcium supplementation have shown no benefit in reducing fracture risk. Vitamin D appears to be much more important than calcium in preventing fractures. • Calcium may raise cancer risk. Research shows that higher intakes of both calcium and dairy products may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer by 30 to 50 percent. Plus, dairy consumption increases the body's level of insulin-like growth factor-1insulin-like (IGF-1) — a known cancer promoter. • Calcium has benefits that dairy doesn't. Calcium supplements, but not dairy products, may reduce the risk of colon cancer. • Not everyone can stomach dairy. About 75 percent of the world's population is genetically unable to properly digest milk and other dairy products — a problem called lactose intolerance. one liter (a little over a quart) of Californian milk contained 298 million pus cells in 2003, 11 million more pus cells than it contained in 2002. So What Can You Drink Besides Milk? How about fresh carrot juice. Freshly pressed carrot juice from organic carrots contains adequate protein, minerals and necessary nutrients to nourish the body better than milk was ever able to do.

Acerola Cherry Supplements
There are no products in this collection.
Fifty Fifty Plus Acerola Cherry Supplements
The Acerola cherry plant is a small shrub indigenous to the West Indies. The flowers of the Acerola are generally pink or white, while the fruit itself is a loud red color. Acerola is similar to cherries in size, shape and color. Acerola fruit is said to be soft and sweet when ripe.
Acerola cherry capsules contain high concentrations of vitamin C. Thiamine, riboflavin and vitamin A are also found in Acerola, although not in the same concentration as vitamin C. Acerola cherry tablets are one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C and, as such, is often used medicinally. Acerola capsules have also been found to contain antioxidants, which lend additional Acerola cherry tablets benefits related to health.
Acerola cherry supplement is used in the treatment of many conditions ranging from diarrhea to heart disease. While vitamin C is known to have many health benefits, it is perhaps best known for its ability to fortify the immune system. For this reason, these cherry vitamins may help those suffering from weakened or compromised immune systems.
Acerola supplements are often used to promote general wellness, and as such are relatively easy to find. In addition to being accessible, these supplements are also available in a variety of forms. Acerola can be found in chewable tablets, capsules, powder and even wafers.

A fascinating 2019 study is getting the attention of both the cannabis community and people suffering from arthritis.
CreakyJoints a worldwide, digital community for millions of arthritis sufferers and caregivers conducted the study. The organization, founded in 2009, addresses all forms of arthritis and offers:
Creaky Joints presented the findings of the study in June 2019 at the annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Madrid. Titled "Patients' Perception and Use of Medical Marijuana," the study involved 1,059 participants living in the United States who had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis or musculoskeletal diseases.
Several surprising findings emerged:
Study participants stated they took THC or CBD-rich cannabis to help with:
Despite the overwhelming responses indicating their symptoms lessened during the study:
"Anecdotally, and via this survey data, we know that there are many people with arthritis who benefit from marijuana and CBD products. However, we have to temper our potential excitement about adding these products to an arthritis management strategy because there is so much yet to learn about how these supplements interact with people's prescribed and over-the-counter medicines and if, in fact, they can be proven to positively impact a person's experience of disease and symptoms," says W. Benjamin Nowell, Ph.D, Director of Patient-Centered Research at CreakyJoints.
The study authors concluded that:
Because arthritis is an inflammatory condition, and because cannabis is widely known to have anti-inflammatory properties, doctors like Dr. Benjamin Caplan of the Center for Educational Documentation (CED) Foundation in Boston are prescribing cannabis to people with arthritis.
Dr. Caplan notes that unlike other anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids, ibuprofen or biologics, cannabis operates differently, with far fewer dangerous side effects.
And unlike traditional arthritis medications, the numerous routes of administration for cannabis enables folks to build a flexible cannabis medication regimen, which results in a person feeling more empowered and engaged in their treatment.
Endocannabinoids are involved in the body's inflammatory response, and arthritic patients often have elevated endocannabinoid levels in the synovial fluid surrounding joints. Some research points to the possibility that THC and CBD relieve pain because they make up for an imbalance in the endocannabinoid system (ECS).
For years, rheumatoid arthritis has been among one of the qualifying conditions that states allow when legislating medical marijuana. A Chinese text dating back to 2000 B.C. even cites cannabis use as way to "undo rheumatism."
Research shows that CBD suppresses the immune response in animals that results in arthritis-like illnesses, and [human studies](https://www.safeaccessnow.org/arthritis - arthritis) show that cannabis consumption:
Another study published in the British Society for Rheumatology's journal Rheumatology found that the use of Sativex—a cannabis-based pharmaceutical—resulted in "statistically significant improvements in pain on movement, pain at rest and quality of sleep," with few adverse side effects noted.
The low-risk side effects of cannabis are a primary reason that many medical marijuana consumers are motivated to reduce their use of potentially dangerous pharmaceutical drugs by incorporating cannabis into their health care plan.
Before you begin any new health regime, you should first consult with your doctor. If you live in a state where cannabis is legal, seek out further consultation with a doctor or health care provider familiar with cannabis.
Dispensaries often employ a particular staff person with expertise in specific health conditions. Don't be afraid to ask for the expert in the room, and never stop using your prescribed medications without working hand-in-hand with your doctor.
Here are a few tips to get you started if you're thinking about incorporating cannabis into your arthritis care plan:

How to draw a loon
You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps… Show more
1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing.
2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape.
3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle.
4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.
Mark off the width and height of the loon. Draw two ovals that will help to define places for its head and body. Draw a line, which will act as the beak.
Draw guidelines for the bird's neck, body and tail.
Define places for the legs, wings and mouth of the loon.
Mark off shapes for the legs, wings and beak of the bird.
Add the loon's eye and tail. Add the pattern to its wing and body. Sketch the webs on the feet.
Outline the shapes of the feathers. Work on the figure, paying special attention to detail.
Contour the loon, trying to vary the thickness and darkness of the line. Add more detail and add water. Erase all guidelines.

His amp was to the left, by the edge of the stage.
*lol* This is why I offered my cam a 'bio-chip' so it learns right now to recognize Keanu - if he would be ever around -, moves out of the pocket and takes the pictures on its own - sharp of course. Am I am a smart one?¿? ;-)
My sweet little glowing cookie ;-) I hope for you all girls that this feeling will stay with a half-life period of uranium ;-)
thanks jena! i especially love the ones of you and him together. wow, he's actually smiling in a fan pic!Posted by: casluvskeanu on July 29, 2004 11:17 AM

|In this blog I do a quick refresh of the second 13 Jarvis Pizzeria blog posts
(note: the different headers in this blog contain a link to the actual blog).
14. Using an imported XSD in PCS
In this post we make an attempt to use an imported XSD containing a complex type in a web form. It is possible to 'use' the type, but things are not working very well (as described in the blog). In the current version (19.3.2) this works even less good. It is no longer possible to save the web form. The following error appears.
At various places in OIC the tooling has quite a bit of trouble with data types, and that in particular with complex data types but also with simple data types, not everything goes smoothly. These are generally not insurmountable issues, but in my opinion Oracle still has some work to do.
15. Testing in PCS against the Development or Production environment
In this post, testing in PCS is discussed for both the test and the production modes. In an earlier post we have already shown how a PCS process can be started from postman via a rest call (Using the REST interface to start a Process).
In this blog we show how this rest call must be adjusted to distinguish between a call in test or production modes. In a nutshell: we need to set the 'pcs_mode' param in the request header and give it the value 'dev'.
16. Handling SOAP Faults in PCS
In this blog post we show how PCS deals with SOAP errors in the following two situations: the out of the box fault policies ON and OFF.
Are there any scenarios conceivable where a developer should turn off the fault policies? The disadvantage of turning on fault-policies is that the fault policies are turned on for the entire application. If one – for whatever reason – wants to build a proprietary error handling framework than this feature should be turned off.
For example, in the situation that an email has to be sent to one of our customers (like an order confirmation), and the process fails for some reason we do not want to use the retry policy of the default error handling, because that could mean that we send the same email 4 times to the customer. Isolating such functionality in a separate dedicated application is preferred in this case.
17. Human Tasks – Design First WebForms
In this post we make our first web form. On the form we use a dropdown list whose content is retrieved via a REST service call.
In PCS this is the common way to create web forms, but is that still the case in OIC? This does not seem to be the case for larger and more complex applications. VBCS with a PCS integration is then the more obvious solution. How to do this we will describe in a future post.
18. Workaround for XSD list-element issue in WebForm
This blog provides a workaround for the XSD list element issue in the web forms (Using an imported XSD in PCS).
For the reason given at the top of this blog in 'Using an imported XSD in PCS' this blog is no longer applicable at this time.
In this blog we show how easy it is to send an email notification in PCS.
In the example we send the notification using the notification activity. As an addition to the blog I want to mention that it is also possible to send notifications triggered from a humantask activity.
20. Different presentations for same WebForm
In this blog we show how easy it is to create a web form with different presentations. With presentations it is possible, for example, to use different data views per user (group)
If many different presentations are used, maintaining the web form can still be a challenge. This requires the necessary accuracy and attention. But yes, isn't that always the case?
21. Deploying and reverting to Snapshots
This blog covers the use and possibilities of snapshots in PCS. Snapshots can be very helpful if the publish represents a certain version of the application. Later these snapshots can be deployed or reverted to in case you want to roll back to a previous version. It is also possible to see what was in the application at the time of the snapshot creation.
22. First step in Implementing the Order Processing, Interface Definition
This blog deals with the definition of the input and output payload and how the payload flows through a structured process.
23. Send Task vs Throw Message Event
This blog tells about the difference between a Send Task and a Message Throw Event within PCS and when you should pick one over the other.
24. Second step in Implementing the Order Processing, Multi Instance Subprocess
In this post we show how to run Multi Instance Subprocesses sequential and in parallel.
At the time we wrote the original blog, correlation was not working properly yet, so it was not possible to execute the sub-processes in parallel (gave a 'conflicting receive' error). In the meantime Oracle has solved this problem and it works very simply and smoothly. We will probably show this again in a future post.
25. Creating a Custom Tasklist for PCS
Is this blog we provide the tools to develop a custom task list. The url to get to these tools has changed slightly since we wrote the original blog (was "/bpm/components", is now "ic/pub/components/"). We aim to develop a custom worklist in the future as well. We will certainly write about this.
26. Third step in Implementing the Order Processing, Correlation
So the correlation violation was caused by initializing the same correlation key twice. How was this solved back in the days when using BPM suite? The trick we could use in BPM suite was to use so-called scoped conversations. Instead of using the default conversation, the send and receive task in an embedded subprocess each uses this advanced conversation.
In the post we wrote:
" So where does this leaves us? In PCS we haven't seen the option to use Advanced Conversations (yet), thus you should find a way to work around this if you want to use send and receive tasks in a multi-instance parallel subprocess. Or you should stick with the sequential option and don't use correlation."
The good news is that Oracle has recognized that correlation is a necessary functionality and has now implemented it in a very useful way. We will also come back to this in the future.
This has brought me to the end of part 2 of 3 of the Jarvis Pizzeria blog refresh.

E.J. Thompson & Son LLC
Serving the Charleston Area Since 1949
The History of E.J. Thompson & Son LLC, in Cross Lanes, WV
Since 1949, E.J. Thompson & Son LLC has served the Charleston, WV, area's heating, air conditioning, and plumbing needs, but where did it all begin? When E.J. Thompson decided to begin his HVAC business over seven decades ago, his commitment to quality workmanship was always at the forefront. Eight years later, his son David joined the business, and the two worked together to provide installation of high-quality heating and cooling systems, plumbing services, general HVAC repair and installation, and much more. The two continued to run the growing and thriving business for another 24 years, when David's son, John, joined the family business on a full-time basis.
Three years after John joined, E.J. Thompson & Son LLC made another major leap, as we developed a partnership with Trane Inc., and began to provide their heating and cooling products throughout the Charleston area. For 25 more years, the business operated in that form, until 2009, when John took the helm as owner. Though technically retired, his father, Dave, still remains active in the business to share his expertise. Today, E.J. Thompson & Son LLC still thrives and remains a staple in the Charleston area, remaining loyal to the mission of high-quality work that does not break the bank. To find out more information about the history of our business, or to inquire about any of our HVAC systems and services, call E.J. Thompson & Son LLC at (304) 776-2601.
Our Partnership With Trane
Since 1984, E.J. Thompson & Son LLC has maintained a relationship with Trane Inc., and has received the Trane Comfort Specialist certification. This honor certifies our commitment to Trane's standards of installation, service, customer satisfaction, and employee training. We proudly provide the Charleston area with Trane heating and cooling products to promote optimal comfort for local homes and businesses, and maintain our reputation in the community. Please feel free to contact us at any time about our commitment to Trane's products and the value they bring to local families.


text: A wounded Palestinian is evacuated during a protest at the Israel-Gaza border fence, east of Gaza City on February 22, 2019 [Mohammed Salem/Reuters] Glasgow, Scotland - Often dubbed an open-air prison on account of Israel's and Egypt's ongoing air, land and sea blockade of the coastal enclave, Gaza is, according to Amnesty International and several other rights groups, on the brink of a humanitarian disaster. In February, Antonio Guterres, the United Nations secretary-general, highlighted the crisis, saying that the near two million Palestinians of the besieged strip "remain mired in increasing poverty and unemployment, with limited access to adequate health, education, water and electricity". But the mainstream media does not always succeed in telling Palestine's contemporary story with accuracy and empathy. On Thursday, in the Scottish city of Glasgow, experts discussed the media's role in covering one of the most pressing and divisive issues in international politics. Al Jazeera interviewed three of the panellists before the event, which was hosted by The Balfour Project, a campaign group created by British citizens to raise awareness over Britain's record in Palestine before and during its Mandate. "You always come under particular pressure with [reporting on events in Israel and Palestine] because there is an intense and concerted Israeli media lobby - and there always was," said Sarah Helm, a former foreign correspondent for the UK's Independent newspaper. "And that includes a very intense Israeli political lobby working at every single level, which there always was too - and that was no secret and nor would they make a secret of it." She was based in Jerusalem in the 1990s. Helm said that her editors would often come "under pressure from the Israeli lobby in London on what correspondents out in the field were doing in a way that was not really true… [for] other foreign stories". "Because newspapers have been got at and persuaded and pressurised by the pro-Israel lobby, the upshot over time is that the reader hasn't got a clue what this place [Palestine] is." Today, similar concerns remain. Everyone is terrified of putting a foot wrong and being accused of being anti-Semitic that they daren't even ask the necessary questions. Sarah Helm, journalist David Cronin, for example, who had freelanced for The Guardian, wrote in 2015 about his frustrations with the newspaper in Electronic Intifada, where he acts as an associate editor. Having reported about atrocities against Palestinians committed by Israel, the paper was later "not keen to have me writing from Gaza", he said, adding that one editor advised him to steer clear of covering the conflict altogether. Time and space constraints also mean that UK media reports neglect the contextual history of the conflict. This includes the fact that seven out of 10 Gazans are registered as refugees, with many originating from families who were forced to flee their homes after Israel's foundation in 1948. "It seems to me that certain absolutely fundamental facts have to be high up in any story," Helm said. The Western media narrative has been dominated by Israel during the entire 70-year conflict, according to Ilan Baruch, the former Israeli ambassador to South Africa. "Israel was brilliantly successful in offering a narrative to the western hemisphere that was embraced with little or no objective judgement," said Baruch, who resigned from the foreign service in 2011 because he felt he could no longer represent the Israeli government's policies. Palestinian paramedics carry a wounded protester on a stretcher during clashes with Israeli forces following a demonstration near the fence along the border with Israel, east of Gaza, on March 8, 2019 [File: Mahmud Hams/AFP] Reporting fatigue also contributes to poor media coverage. Sir Vincent Fean, a former British consul-general in Jerusalem, said that Gaza's "complex and deep-rooted" struggle has diminished the "appetite of Western media". "In addition to the fatigue, there is also the fact that other crises in the Middle East are bloodier, like Syria and Yemen," said Fean, who was the UK's top-ranking consular officer in Jerusalem from 2010 to 2014. "They take some of the oxygen away from the issue." In 2017, Mariam Barghouti, a Palestinian-American writer based in Ramallah, wrote in a column for Al Jazeera: "The mainstream media focus is always on Palestinian reaction and not on Israeli action and it insinuates that Palestinians are on the offence when in fact they are on the defence." In suggesting a way forward, Helm said: "Editors must have the courage of their convictions" to insist historical context enables the reader, listener or viewer to understand the conflict. "History has been allowed - and even recent history has been allowed - to disappear into a swamp," she said. "And everyone is terrified of putting a foot wrong and being accused of being anti-Semitic that they daren't even ask the [necessary] questions." As several critics of Israeli government policy find themselves accused of anti-Jewish racism, Baruch, the former Israeli ambassador to South Africa, said the debate needed to move past conflating these two notions. "Even criticising Zionism as the inspirational movement that created Israel is not anti-Semitism," he said. "[The anti-Semitism charge] is just a ploy to pull down criticism of Israel."

The Master Gardener
click for larger version
02/01/2007 -
February calendar
Prune deciduous shrubs and trees and summer flowering woody plants.
When days are warm water trees and shrubs, especially evergreens.
Start cool season transplants indoors.
"Leaf" through nursery catalogs and make plans for landscape and home orchard additions. Order plants early for best selection. Send for seed catalogs for the garden.
Sketch your garden plans on paper, including what to grow, spacing, arrangement and number of plants needed.
Keep holiday poinsettias and other plants near a bright window. Water as top of soil becomes dry.
Increase humidity around houseplants by grouping plants together, placing them on a pebble-water tray or running a humidifier.
Check stored produce and tender flower bulbs and roots for rot, shriveling or excess moisture. Remove and discard damaged material.
Repot houseplants as they outgrow current pots.
Calling all gardening enthusiasts, would you like to become a Natrona County Master Gardener?
A question that often arises in my conversations with gardeners is "So, what does it take to become a Master Gardener?" Many people believe that Master Gardeners must be walking gardening encyclopedias and that puts some level of fear in people who might otherwise take a good basic level gardening course. Master Gardeners are local gardeners who have taken classes from University Cooperative Extension Service (CES) staff and are willing to volunteer time back to their communities. Many Master Gardeners were long time gardeners before they took the training classes; having years of experience working the soil before the urge to learn more hit them. Some Master Gardeners are young gardeners who didn't know where to start and knew they needed some help when they wandered into a local CES office. Still others learned to garden elsewhere in the country and need to adapt their gardening practices to a new climate, new soil condition or a different growing season. Whatever the reason each trainee decides to become a Master Gardener, they gain basic gardening skills and learn how and where to research more difficult questions. The whole idea is to begin a life long learning process as interested volunteers.
So, if you are an interested gardener contact the Natrona County CES office, for information about becoming a Natrona County Master Gardener, contact us at 235-9400 or stop by 2011 Fairgrounds Road.

Godzilla might soon be looking for a new job after the sneak peak of what's to come from season 12 of WEtv's popular (and aptly named) reality show Bridezillas. The series follows women who were perfectly normal (for the most part) before wedding planning took over their lives. The preview, hosted at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, was accompanied with a student bridal dress design competition. Nine students from the Fashion Institute of Technology NYC and the Parsons School Of Fashion were given the opportunity to unleash their inner bridezilla to win the grand prize of $5,000.
Wearing an all-black ensemble like a true New Yorker, Michelle Collins hosted the event, joking to be channeling her inner Wednesday Addams in support of the wedding spirit. Don't worry Michelle, we're single, too. She was absolutely hilarious, and there were moments when the audience forgot that she was not the actual show. The star-studded panel of judges included Real Housewives of New York favorite Sonja Morgan, DailyMailTV host Jesse Palmer, the Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay, model Carol Alt and former RHONY star Kelly Bensimon.
Who better to judge a competition inspired by brides being divas than our favorite diva herself, Sonja Morgan. An alumni of FIT herself, I had a chance to speak with Sonja before the models hit the runway."Well, I am not going to favor the FIT students," she joked. "I have many friends who are alumni from Parsons!" The reality-star-turned-designer looked radiant in a sparkly striped dress with plunging neckline from her own Sonja Morgan NY collection, proving, once again, she really is her own best advertisement. "If you watch the Real Housewives of New York, you know in 2015 I opened Fashion Week New York with my couture collection."
When asked to describe her dream wedding dress, Sonja admits she was never a bridezilla herself."Well, I was not a bridezilla. I was never one to say I wanna get married! I met my husband and fell in love with him, so we got married and had a baby. But the thing is, I would say these bridezillas are not unlike the housewives, where they have tantrums and it's all about me, me, me! So, you're going to see some creative designs that bring out that egocentric attitude."
Though the judges admitted that it was a difficult decision, the prize ultimately went to Parson's Beck Jones. He took on a more literal interpretation of Bridezillas, with his model sporting arrow wounds and a painting smashed through her head. That's our Monday morning mood.
Also in attendance were Carson Kressley ("Queer Eye"), Cynthia Bailey Reality TV Personality), Lil Mama (WE tv's "Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta"), Angelina Pivarnick (MTV's "Jersey Shore"); Lauryn "Pumpkin"Shannon and Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson (WE tv's "Mama June: From Not to Hot"), as well as Marc Juris, WE tv's President & GM and Lauren Gellert, WE tv's EVP of Development & Original Programming.

George Howard at http://cosmictusk.com/space-com-zoe-macintosh-and-the-delusory-dr-pinter-another-confusing-half-truth-botch-job-on-the-YDB-hypothesis/ on a mounting number of critics who purposely skew the evidence to make it look awry. Sounds just like AGW resistance to the sceptics. Common sense doesn't exist in science - does it? Just as science reporters don't read anything about 'climate science' they clearly have not been reading the papers on the YDB event but are ad-libbing what the like of Nicholas Pinter have to say. He thinks carbon spherules are formed by fungus - but how does fungus have nano-diamonds growing inside it? It's gonna be a long hard road George.
