Michael Cornman made a motion to adopt the General Clerk-Treasurer budget. David Drake seconded the motion.
A question was asked regarding any changes to the budgets. Sandra Hash explained the Excel program hid two cells, MVH 231 $12,000.00 and LRS Culverts $4,000.00. These funds were included in the budget subtotals.
Karla Kennard-Frownfelter asked about Park Board salaries. Geraldine McIntyre said that we previously had a Park Board and now we do not have one. It was explained that none of the members lived inside the town limits and it was left in the budget in case there are people within the town limits willing to serve. Jerry Pittsford said the council might create an advisory board that is not paid like an official board and let the parks be administered by the Street Department. Geraldine McIntyre said that Leasa Farkas has agreed to work with Jimmy Ragle on his Parks Department. Motion passed.
Stephanie Holmes asked about the budgets versus the prior year. Geraldine said that all the budgets went up. The town's budgets were held at 5% last year and this year we couldn't. The board did not take a 4% increase. We want to use that money for BCAT to broadcast our meetings.
David Drake made a motion to approve the Building Inspector's budget. Jerry Pittsford seconded the motion. Motion passed.
There was some discussion regarding the variance to prior year of each budget. Michael Cornman made a motion to accept all budgets. David Drake seconded the motion. Motion carried. Council members signed the Ordinance for Appropriation and Tax Rates under yea.
Geraldine McIntyre closed the meeting.

The Yemeni army and the Popular Committees on dawn Saturday launched a ballistic missile on the command and control center for Saudi army in Jizan.
A military source in the missile force confirmed to Nthnews that the missile force fired a ballistic missile (M2 Qaher) on the command and control center for Saudi army south of Jizan.
The source added that the missile hit its target with high accuracy, causing great human and material damage.
The source said that the missile was in response to the daily massacres that committed by Saudi Arabian air force, where the massacres of the coalition that committed yesterday only 15_12_2017 as follows:
_ 8 martyrs and 15 wounded by bombing on Najiba market in Al-Hameli in Al-Makha.
_ 21 martyrs by raids of Abatchi on Al-Mozarea village in Al-Khokha (three families).
_ 23 martyrs and 4 wounded by the bombing on Al Sheikh market in the district of Manbah border in Saada.
_ Two women by a raid on Waleba area in Zaher district.
Result / 54 martyrs
Wounded / 19 injured
The source also confirmed that the missile force will play its role in a way that makes the alliance of aggression receives severe blows during targets that was set by Yemeni missile force.
The assistant of the army spokesman Col. Aziz Rashed said that targeting of the command and control center south of Jizan is an operation to thwart the movements of the enemy.
Colonel Aziz Rashed said that the missile force is able to hit more strategic targets in the depth of Saudi Arabia.

Facebook and Instagram have proved to be two very effective platforms when it comes down to marketing brands, but what about LinkedIn? For years, LinkedIn has been known to be a wonderful community for entrepreneurs, professionals and a variety of businesses to connect. Today, the professional social network has become so much more. Over 500 million people are said to have a LinkedIn profile and are actively using it daily to locate jobs, network with consumers and businesses. Now, businesses and professionals are using LinkedIn to build relationships by marketing themselves as well as their companies... but how? There are several ways to market your business on LinkedIn. Let's begin.
First, Define Your Goals
Determine what you want to accomplish because if you do not know where you want your company to go then it's like shooting arrows without taking aim. Having a marketing objective helps your company reach goals. So, in terms of LinkedIn your goal could be generating leads, raising brand awareness, or both. Make sure to follow the SMART rule (be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and within a time frame) when setting your goals.
Receive a free social media audit. Learn more here.
1. Join LinkedIn Groups
LinkedIn offers group forums where professionals and businesses alike in the same industry or similar interests come together and share different content such as blogs and other informative content. Go ahead and browse LinkedIn groups in the search bar that relate to your products and service. For example, if you're a copywriter looking to promote your services join blogger groups, copywriting groups or even marketing groups where other marketers might be able to find you. Make sure your content brings value and you are educating others.
2. Network, Network, Network
There are several ways to network on LinkedIn.
- Get Endorsed - Back in 2012, LinkedIn added a section called "Skills & Endorsements" that allow other LinkedIn users who you have worked with to confirm your skill or skills listed on your profile. Ask several of your coworkers or even clients (past and present) if they would be willing to endorse you. That way new people coming to your profile can see how credible you are. Of course, always avoid adding skills you don't have. You want people to be able to trust you... not the other way around.
- Recommendations - If you are using your personal account then this is another section to your LinkedIn profile that really should be utilized. The whole point of the recommendations section is to have people who you have worked with leave positive reviews of their experience with you. This gives others who might be interested in your service an idea if you are worth the time.
- Talk to Your Followers - You will have people who you know and even people who you do not know who want to connect with you (as in add or follow you). If it's someone who you are not acquainted with, perfect! This is your opportunity to make new connections. Send a message introducing yourself. Find out if you can be a help to them. The same goes for your existing followers. Some might be past clients. Don't be afraid to attempt to reignite or reconnect. You might be able to get them back.
- Comment on Posts - Use hashtags to locate posts or comment on group posts too, comment on posts offering your professional insight, offer tips and include your website. Network with other people in the industry or someone that could be interested in your product or service. Watch for opportunities to reach out to these people, help them, ask a question, or respond to their comments.
- Follow People, Too - Grow your network. Use the search tools to locate possible leads. Look at people who have mutual friends. Ask your connections if they have any recommendations or anyone that could be potentially interested in your product or service. But with that said, don't go around asking all of your connections. The last thing you want is to annoy your followers. Choose the one's you already have a relationship with or figure out a way to build relationships with the connections you are not too familiar with.
3. Write an Article
Write an article that helps others in some way or another. For instance, If you are an expert at social media share your insight about social media marketing. This is a very broad subject so, make sure to brainstorm subtopic's around your subject. If it's a helpful and informative article then most likely someone will share it with others. The more you help others, more people will see your contributions.
When you create high quality LinkedIn articles that inform and explain your expert knowledge, users are able to get an idea of your skills which, in turn, builds trust. Come up with relevant subjects that will draw in your target audience and educate them.
Also, don't forget your connections and LinkedIn followers will be notified every time you publish an article. Not to mention users can simply search for a keyword and hundreds of relevant articles will appear including yours. Again, this is advantageous to you because when people share your LinkedIn article, they share and promote you and your business.
4. Tag Someone
Like most social media networks, LinkedIn allows you to tag others in posts. If you have a blog or article mentioning another company or person, make sure to tag them. They might share your post and even add you as a connection. Once they share your post with their connections, there is always a possibility one or several of their connections will share it too. You can also do this in LinkedIn groups. Just click the "start a conversation" box, enter the title of your group post then insert your tag in the "add some details" box following with a link to your article.
5. LinkedIn Ads
Interesting fact about conversions from LinkedIn: 80 percent of B2B leads come from LinkedIn.
LinkedIn ads are extremely helpful due to the fact you're able to target a specific audience based on job function, job title, seniority, employer, location and more. It's the perfect place to share middle and bottom of the funnel content offers with your target audience, as people are more serious about finding business solutions and helpful content when browsing LinkedIn as opposed to Facebook or Instagram.
Three different LinkedIn Ad options:
- Sponsored Content Ads - Allows you to promote posts on your company page to a specific target audience. These native ads say "promoted" at the top left corner of your ad. They sit in the LinkedIn feed alongside content that LinkedIn members have curated for themselves.
- Sponsored InMail - Is a more personalized approach. It allows you to send personalized messages to targeted LinkedIn members. A sponsored InMail message includes a customizable subject line, body text, and a call-to-action button.
- Text Ads - These ads help you drive traffic to your website or LinkedIn page. Text Ads are displayed in the sidebar of the LinkedIn newsfeed as well as LinkedIn messenger.

Twenty years after his death, a new resting place has been found for Matthew Shepard. His family announced on Thursday that his ashes would be interred at the Washington National Cathedral in the nation's capital on Oct. 26, following a memorial service. In 2009, then-President Barack Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Among those to praise the news that Matthew's ashes will be interred at the Cathedral was Tyler Clementi Foundation co-founder Jane Clementi. "It is heartening to see the Christian community at [the] Cathedral embrace the Shepard family in this way," she said in an email statement.

Obama, Medvedev sign nuclear arms treaty
US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev have signed a new treaty aimed at reducing the two countries' nuclear arsenals.
The treaty, signed in the Czech Republic's capital, Prague, is a successor to the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, also known as START, which expired in December.
The new agreement requires Washington and Moscow to reduce their nuclear arsenals by about one-third.
It will also limit the number of deployed launchers, ballistic missiles and heavy bombers.
In a news conference after signing the treaty, Obama hailed the treaty as a "historic" event while Medvedev said the nuclear arms deal would open a new page in relations between the two countries.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) welcomed the signing of the treaty.
"Reducing the role and numbers of nuclear weapons is a positive step towards a safe and peaceful world free of nuclear weapons which can impact positively on nuclear non-proliferation efforts," IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano said in a statement.
The treaty must be approved by the Russian Duma and the US Senate to take effect
Obama and Medvedev are also scheduled to discuss the US missile system in Europe, among other regional and international issues.
The Kremlin said in a Thursday statement that the treaty would only be "capable of life" if Washington is restrained in its pursuit of missile defense.
The US and Russia currently have a combined total of over 20,000 atomic warheads. The nuclear arms are roughly equally divided between the two countries.
The new pact has a direct link between offensive nuclear weapons and US planned missile defense system in Europe.
Russia has warned that Moscow could opt out if it feels threatened by the US missile plans.

A good start of the year..
We was spending a great time in NZ with good old friends during last year's Christmas break and now have been back to settle with the new year which it's been so far so good...especially about my cooking and baking !
Here is what I've successfully done for a good start of the year..
Begin with this aromatic and tasteful 'Chilli Marrakech' that I've got the recipe from my most favorite food magazine...in my own opinion, it's much more interesting than normal chilli !
Secondly, I chose this 'Finnish Pulla' to be a debut of my baking and it's totally a big hit in my family..:)
And the lastest dish I'd proudly like to present here is 'Masala Chicken Pie' ...the way that makes the curry much more interesting !!

AbstractVertical Takeoff-and-Landing (VTOL) Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) provide a versatile operational platform which combines the capabilities of fixed wing and rotary wing MAVs. In order to improve performance of these vehicles, a better understanding of the rapid transition between horizontal and vertical flight is required. This study examines the flow structures around the Mini-Vertigo VTOL MAV using flow visualization techniques. This will gives an understanding of the flow structures which dominate the flight dynamics of rapid pitching maneuvers. This study consists of three objectives: develop an experimental facility, use flow visualization to investigate the flow around the experimental subject during pitching, and analyze the results. The model used for testing features a low aspect ratio (AR), low Reynolds number (Re) Zimmerman planform wing with two contra-rotating propellers in a tractor configuration. The experimental facility, located at the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at The University of Arizona, consists of: a closed loop open test section wind tunnel capable of airspeeds up to 15m/s and controlled with a variable frequency drive (VFD); a power source and wire to generate vapor from a mixture of turbine oil, petroleum jelly, and iron powder, which is placed across the wind tunnel nozzle outlet; a five axis robotic arm mounted below the test section capable of controlling the experimental subject for pitching maneuvers; and, a pair of video cameras capable of recording the flow visualization at 600 frames per second. The flow within the wind tunnel was carefully examined in order to insure that the experimental subject was placed within a region of flow unaffected by boundary effects and that there were no significant disturbances or oscillations within the flow. The flow around the experimental subject was studied in both static and dynamic testing. For the static tests, the angle of attack (AOA) of the experimental subject was varied across a range of AOA from 15 to 70 degrees. For each range of AOA, the Re was varied to 10700, 22600, and 35500, and advance ratio (J) was varied from undefined, 0.60, to 0.47. Several conclusions can be drawn from the static testing. The flow is dominated by the propeller slipstream effects. The slipstream drastically delayed leading edge (LE) separation and vortex shedding. It also causes flow to be either deflected downward into the slipstream or to deflect outward towards the wing tip before passing over the LE. The slipstream strength also increases the turbulence in the slipstream and relative velocity of the flow at the wing surface compared to freestream. The Re affects the LE (visible only without slipstream) and trailing edge (TE) vortex shedding frequencies, increased Re increases the frequency. Additionally, it appears that the non-dimensional LE and TE vortex shedding frequencies are constant at a value of 0.216, irrespective of both Re and advance ratio. This is important because it means that these observations are likely valid across a broad range of flight conditions. Dynamic testing also varied the advance ratio and the Re. It also varied the reduced frequency. Both positive and negative pitching was examined. Many of the conclusions drawn were the same as those from static testing. Increasing the Re increased the vortex shedding frequency. The slipstream delayed LE separation and caused significant deflection downward and towards the wingtip, as well as increasing turbulence and relative flow speed at the top surface prior to separation. Dynamic testing also found that in the presence of the slipstream, increased Re decreases the AOA of LE separation, while without the slipstream, increased Re increases the AOA of LE separation. In addition, the pitching rate has several effects on the flow. For positive pitching, increasing the pitch rate decreases the AOA of separation and for negative pitching; increasing the pitch rate has no apparent effect on the AOA of separation. This is contrary to expectations. Previous study1 has shown that increasing the pitching rate delays stall and nose down pitching hastens stall. Additionally, greater positive pitching rate slightly increases the TE vortex shedding frequency. In the absence of a slipstream, LE and TE vortex-shedding frequency are generally the same. Some interesting phenomena were found at the LE. In the presence of a pulsating slipstream from the propellers, the LE separation bubble oscillates in both height and length. It does so at the same frequency as the propeller rotation and is due to variation in the flow speed at the LE. During pitch down maneuvers, the flow reattaches at the LE first and then the region of attached flow moves aft, opposite of the characteristics of pitch up. With only minimal variation, the non-dimensional TE vortex shedding frequency remains constant at an average value of 0.229. However, it appears that increasing the pitching rate increases this value slightly. Re and advance ratio have no appreciable effect on this data. It is therefore possible to extend this result to a large range of flight conditions. A comparison of the static and dynamic testing resulted in several findings that correlated very well with previous research on this model. During positive, nose-up, pitching, the increase in lift found previously was due to the increased downward deflection of the flow and the delay of stall was due to the delay in LE separation. The opposite effects were found in negative, nose-down, pitching. There was disagreement in the findings based on the size of the turbulent separation wake and the increase and decrease in drag. Positive pitching was found to increase the drag on the model however positive pitching reduces the size of the turbulent separation wake which should decrease drag. The increase in downward flow deflection caused by pitching rate was significantly less than that due to the slipstream. Therefore the increase in lift due to the slipstream is greater than that due to pitching. The flow around the Mini-Vertigo VTOL MAV is dominated by the slipstream from its propellers. The slipstream delays LE separation and causes drastic deflection in the flow. While the frequency of the vortices shed from the LE and TE varies with flow speed, the non-dimensional frequency does not. It does, however, vary slightly with the pitching rate. These results are applicable across a wide range of flight conditions.

Federal Law Trumps State Law
As Colorado's Attorney General I take an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the Colorado Constitution. As part of this job, I frequently urge upon the state and federal courts a particular interpretation of these constitutional documents.
But the final word on the meaning of the U.S. Constitution is the U.S. Supreme Court and the final word on the meaning of the Colorado Constitution is the Colorado Supreme Court.
In a dispute on whether federal laws trump state laws under the Supremacy Clause, the U.S. Supreme Court has the final say.
In Gonzales v. Raich [case], the U.S. Supreme Court held that even when marijuana is grown, distributed and consumed within a single state, it does affect interstate commerce and is therefore subject to federal regulation. While you or I may find this decision by a majority that included Justice Antonin Scalia to be "judicial activism," it is nonetheless the law of the land. In Florida v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, scheduled to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in March, the federal government is citing Gonzales v. Raich and other similar cases to argue that the Commerce Clause allows it to require every American to buy health insurance or face an economic sanction.
My fellow attorneys general and I have successfully argued in a U.S. District Court and the in 11th Circuit Court of Appeals that one's failure to buy a particular product or service at the federal government's direction is economic inactivity (unlike growing and selling a crop) and therefore not subject to congressional regulation under the Commerce Clause.
We argue that if the federal government is able to regulate your economic decision making in such a manner, federalism is essentially dead. Rather than having limited enumerated powers under Article I, Section 8, the federal government would have largely unbridled power in all areas not addressed in the Bill of Rights.
But make no mistake about it: If the U.S. Supreme Court should determine that the individual health insurance mandate is a proper exercise of the commerce power by Congress, that will be the law of the land and Americans will be left to pursue political remedies as opposed to legal ones.
Such is the rule of law in America. Because of the rule of law, until a change of policy by Congress, medical marijuana remains in violation of federal law. The state attorney general cannot change that.

YuuZoo completes delayed audit, cuts reported 2016 profit by 59%
YuuZoo Corp is cutting its reported 2016 net profit by 59 per cent and posting a loss for 2015 after the delayed completion of its annual audit, according to its annual report.
The social commerce company, however, has received an opinion from auditor RT that the audited numbers are properly drawn up, true and fair. YuuZoo's previous auditor, Moore Stephens, had declined to express an audit opinion over concerns about the company's valuation of its stakes in its franchisees and the recoverability of its trade receivables.
YuuZoo is now posting a net profit of S$14 million for the 12 months ended December 2016, down from its earlier report of a S$34.6 million profit.
The audited results also resulted in a S$5 million net loss in 2015. YuuZoo had reported a restated net profit of S$15.9 million for that year in its latest unaudited financial statements.
The bulk of the variations reflected a more conservative treatment of the equity stakes that YuuZoo has received from franchisees and debtors.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The audited 2016 results show an increase in amortisation of intangible assets, to S$16.8 million from S$6.4 million; and an increase in other expenses, to S$15.9 million from S$4.1 million, from its previously reported numbers.
YuuZoo said that it had fully impaired an available-for-sale investment in China-based TV media group RS Media and Entertainment Group Holding, which had been valued at S$4.7 million, in the absence of verifiable information that the investment could be recovered. It also took a S$7.5 million impairment loss on its investment in and receivables from gaming company Infocomm Asia Holdings, and fully impaired S$2.3 on intangible assets held in relation to Emerging Markets Telecommunication Services Ltd (Nigeria), also known as Etisalat.
YuuZoo shares gained 10.7 per cent, or 0.8 Singapore cent, to trade at 8.3 Singapore cents on Wednesday after the annual report was released.

As Rick was cruising along the interstate, he utilized the practical driving habits he learned from school.
He checked his rearview mirror, both his side mirrors, and then emailed his boss an analysis of his driving efficiency from the month prior.
The road was brightly lit with neon billboards looming over both sides, helping guide Rick down the path he was always destined for. Each billboard had an arrow pointing in the same direction with luminous words of encouragement emboldened beneath them.
While Rick was passing under a billboard that displayed "FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION" beneath its green arrow, he decided to pull out his map and take another gander at the paradise that was his intended destination, the glorious Successland.
Rick had always known he wanted to get to Successland, but he never knew exactly why.
Growing up, he heard tales from his older relatives and mentors that he was bound to be in Successland, so long as he stayed away from the frivolous distractions commonly found in art and the despicable practice of free will.
There was a moment as a child where Rick became interested in recreating what he saw in the form of drawings, but, fortunately for him and his chances of reaching Successland, this moment passed when his father replaced the pencil in his hand with an abacus.
While thinking about all the wonderful things he would do in Successland, Rick started to feel a slight pain arise in his chest. The pain began to increase while also spreading to other parts of his body, forcing Rick to turn on autopilot so he could take his hands off the wheel and remedy his condition.
Before he could grab the necessary pills to heal himself, the pain in his chest evolved into a spasm of extreme pain. Rick ended up slouching over in his car seat as he clutched his chest and stared out at the road ahead of him.
As he drew his final breaths, the car passed under another billboard that Rick was unable to see due to his health episode.
The saying under this particular billboard proudly stated, "WELCOME TO SUCCESSLAND!"

Regular price
I carefully wrap every link of this bracelet using lovely, shiny chrysoprase gemstone beads and high quality 14k gold filled wire. The stones are truly beautiful, with small facets to really bring out their shine. Their natural colour palette is so bright and cheerful, it makes me think of warm summer nights on the beach.
Don't be fooled by the delicate look of this piece — the links are hand-wired to be very strong and sturdy, making this bracelet suitable for everyday wear. This is a piece you will enjoy for a long time.
The fifth and sixth photos show this bracelet in sterling silver, modelled by yours truly. Wear it alone for a minimal look, or layer them up!
My usual suggestion is to measure your wrist and then add a half inch for comfort. If you're buying a gift, I'd suggest 6.5" for someone with a tiny wrist, while 7" is about average.
Gold filled is a layer of solid gold that has been bonded to a base metal — usually brass — using heat and pressure. The result is that, unlike regular plated metals, gold filled will not tarnish, the gold will not flake or wear off, and it will not cause allergic reactions even for those who are sensitive to plated metals. There is up to 600% more real gold in gold filled than there is in standard plating. Gold filled looks and feels just like wearing solid gold, but at a fraction of the price.

Teens suffering from anxiety can sign up for classes offering yoga and counselling sessions
Teens suffering from anxiety can sign up for classes offering yoga and counselling sessions
A free yoga and mindfulness programme is now calling for students to learn about tools for improving physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Here to Be is a weekly bilingual physical and mental health programme running from February 16 to April 6. It is to support teens aged 15 to 19 who are suffering from anxiety, depression, and maybe even suicidal thoughts.
There will be a total of eight classes, featuring a guided yoga and meditation practice and a group counselling session, all led by professionals including celebrity yoga teacher Margaret Chung, cognitive behavioural therapist Minal Mahtani, and clinical psychologist Edwin Yau.
How stretching every day can benefit your physical and mental health, and improve your problem solving skills
"Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices, when combined with counselling, are actually very effective in coping with mental health challenges," said Hersha Chellaram, the founder of non-profit organisation Yama Foundation.
Participants get to be involved in community service projects, added Chellaram. "We believe helping others and giving back to the community are very important in assisting the development of good mental health."
The programme will run on Saturdays from 10am to noon at the fitness centre LRCF Fitness Hong Kong in Prince Edward.
6 ways to improve your posture for better health and to lower neck and back pain
Chellaram said she hopes the programme will help young people find the right tools to process negative emotions, confront life challenges, and develop emotional resilience. "We don't want any young people to feel alone or isolated when they're feeling academic or social pressure."
Local and international student participants will get Creativity, activity, service (CAS) or Other Learning Experiences (OLE) credits upon completion of the programme.
Here to Be is co-organised by Yama Foundation and athletic apparel company Lululemon Athletica. The deadline for registration is February 8. Students who are interested can find more information and sign up on their website.

What a grand retreat we had on the last days of the year. There's an old tradition that goes back to our earliest documents that the sisters would gather in retreat on the last days of the year.
Over the years, this practice fell by the wayside. But some of the sisters put their heads together and decided to treat us to a year end retreat. Srs Linda Straub (CSJ from St. Louis) and Cathy Steffans (CSJ from St. Paul, MN) lead the reflections. There was time for prayer, reflection, sharing, resting, walking, etc.
More than 60 sisters gathered for the retreat, many of us stayed here at the motherhouse, but there were also sisters commuting from other houses in the area. It was great to see everyone and have some time to share and catch up a little.
The theme was our consecration to the two trinities and it was wonderfully explained by Linda and Kathy. While much was familiar, it is always a treat to reflect again and delve deeper into the realities. I'll try to get the text from the consecration prayer to post.
There were two special insights for me, one was the notion of being called to perfection: be perfect as the Father is perfect; but a perfection of an ever growing relationship of love. God is growing in that relationship and I am called to grow in loving relationships with God, within community and with the dear neighbor. That seems so much warmer than the static notion that 'perfection' conjures up for me.
The other insight was the call to live the zeal of Jesus. This was especially brought out for me in challenge to deal with hurts and negative realities -- the challenge to keep trying to be in loving relationship, with integrity, and with humility and trust in the healing power of God in those relationships. I know I have some praying to do in these areas over the coming weeks.
The whole weekend was a gift, and such a great end to a wonderful Christmas celebration. Oh, that's right, it's not over yet. We'll top off everything with the Epiphany celebration next Sunday. That's when we usually gather each year for Mass and brunch together as a community. Lots of folks come from around town and it's a grand closing to the Christmas celebration.
I know Sarah has some pictures from the retreat, so hopefully she will add them when she has a chance.
Peace and Blessings for the New Year!

Oh what a gift....a great time to be renewed and refreshed and say again...together who we are and who we are striving to be....The reverence of the sisters to one another and the open spirit to the 'next step' was most moving.ReplyDelete

The tortoise terrarium
This is basically set up like Пустынный террариум . However, the floor covering should NOT consist of sand. Tortoises need a large floor area to move around. The substrate has to be covered with an approx. 2 cm thick layer of JBL TerraBark .
A large bent piece of cork can serve as a shelter. Stones and stone plates can be placed in the terrarium, but make sure there aren't any sharp edges.
A heat emitter and a heating stone offer the required heat and will quickly become a favourite spot. A drinking bowl ( Лотки и контейнеры ) and a feeding bowl for vegetarian food should be provided in a sufficiently large size.
Lighting for tortoises
Tortoises are sun worshippers. Just a few species live in the rainforest and need less sun and therefore less UV radiation than the wide range of species which live in sun-drenched regions. Therefore the lighting needs to produce heat, UV-A and UV-B radiation. You will find detailed information about lighting here:
Освещение - одна из важнейших тем в террариумистике. Что нужно учитывать?
Heat for tortoises
Most species come from warmer regions and therefore need a heat source. Since a temperature reduction at night is almost always useful, the light source can also serve as a heat source. When the light goes out, the temperature drops too. You will find everything you need to know about heat in the terrarium here:
Как поддерживать правильную температуру в террариуме? Зачем нужны теплые и холодные зоны?
The animal size
How large should your terrarium be?
Please remember the terrarium you need has to correspond to the maximum size of the tortoise species you are keeping. With tortoises, of course, it's not the height but the floor area of the terrarium which matters. A good help is the following formula: shell length (of the largest tortoise) x 8 = terrarium length, terrarium length : 2 = terrarium width. For just a few genera and species you may use the factor 4 (Homopus spec., Malacochersus tornieri, Psammobates spec. and Pyxis spec.). The height should be about 60 cm to prevent adult animals from escaping out of the terrarium.
For further details please refer to all relevant literature and talk to your specialised dealer.

Computer Hacking As the world becomes more and more reliant on computers the computer hacking industry is greatly rising. With people such as Kevin Mitnick, who is known as a computer terrorist (Kjochaiche 1), computerized information isn't safe any more. Kevin is known as the most high-profiled computer criminal and responsible for more havoc in the computer world today.(1) He considered this a fun and easy task. He got caught and thrown into prison, but once he got out nothing changed. Kevin stated that as long as the technology is there it just calls to people to break into it.
Computer hackers usually start off young, thinking that it is nothing but a little harmless fun. But as they get older, they realize it has turned into an addiction. The definition of a hacker according to the Hacker's Dictionary, a person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities.(Hackers 1) The Internet is just another playing field. (Kjochaiche 3) Hackers regard hacking as a game in which their mind is up against that of the system designers. (Hackers 3) The Internet allows the hackers to take files, programs, passwords, and other information from users that are using it.
Pssst… we can write an original essay just for you.
Any subject. Any type of essay.
We'll even meet a 3-hour deadline.
Get your price
They use this as a tool to make it easier to beat the system. There are three major types of hackers, one with good intentions but gets slapped in the face due to the bad reputation of others, there are the hackers with bad intentions, and there are the hackers that fit in between. The bad hacker category is the largest by far. A bad hacker's motives are to punish someone or retaliate against the owner of a computer system.(2) Computer terrorists fall under this category. Some bad hackers may also hack just to challenge the programmer.
The hacker feels that if they can break into it then they are much more superior than the person who actually wrote the software. They can feel so superior that they might enter a virus to eliminate a program that was not worthy of their abilities. One of the other many goals of a hacker is to steal passwords. Hackers can steal your password about four different ways. Intercepting your password through email is not that difficult.(How are they getting my password? 1) This is by far the easiest method because all they have to do is take the email as it is being sent to you.
Hackers can also use a program called a password cracker to actually learn you password. There are two types of theses but both have their own problems. The first checks every password possible from the entry site. (1) The second uses a program that goes in and reads the passwords off. The problem with both is that you have to get the cracker into the site, undetected(1) You also must cover you trail.
Some prefer the manual method first. There are actually lists of 100(or more) most-used passwords.(2) Hackers have reported that, a simple password that appears in the English dictionary will take about an hour or less for a hacker to crack.(4) This is not considered a long time to a hacker.(Brian 2) Third, they use what is called web spoofing. This is the most dangerous because they see what every you are doing. They can get you passwords plus any other information you might have. This web spoofing is caused by a middle man who can redirect information from your page, to his page, to the page you were sending the information to.
The middle man sees all.(How are they getting my password? 3) This is above all the easiest way to get any information that they might want or need. The last method is through Java. Through a program they can hack into a computers hard drive through your Java program. That is why if you can avoid keeping your passwords on your hard drive do it. Some people keep their passwords on three by five cards and store them which is allot safer. The best method to securing yourself is always backing up files.
That way if a virus or hacker crashes you computer you will safe. Another very safe method is to change your password often and don't use the same password for everything. If they already know another one of your passwords, they 'll try them first.(How are they getting my password? 2) Consider rotating your passwords, just make sure they are not available on you hard drive. In the long run it will be safer to go throughout the trouble than find out that someone is using your passwords to get into things. This can be dangerous in that Hackers supply their work with peoples money by buying stuff with other peoples credit cards.
They can do this by using the same technique as getting a password. They use web spoofing to look at the peoples credit card numbers while they type them in. Rule #1, on the Internet nothing is secure, even if it says it is..(4) This is considered the golden rule of the safety on the Internet. Many people swear that the Internet is safe but there is always that little chance that someone could be watching. Today many major Internet companies are allowing users to order then about 5 minutes later the company calls you back and you transfer your credit card number over the phone, which is safer than over the Internet.
There is a bigger threat of getting your number taken over secured Internet sites than over the telephone.(Hackers 1) The novice computer hacker usually doesnt try anything as challenging as credit card fraud of password stealing. They usually are just pranksters looking for a good time. They are the ones who often release computer viruses. Viruses are the leading threat amongst the Internet.(Espy, 6) These viruses are dangerous because they can erase, or change files, or can even disable the computers that access the site. These viruses are starting to become more of a nuisance and cause corruption. (5) They recent release of the love bug virus is a good example of this.
It is suspected that a young adult had released this just to see its effects. This virus steals the passwords and deletes certain information of your machine. This type of virus also was created to spread from one person to all of the people in their computer address book throughout their email. They computer specialists working for the government have to learn how to solve this problem. Good hackers do exist also, they are the ones who work for the government. They are the ones who use their knowledge to try to stop to bad hackers from striking again.
Their knowledge is used to try and outsmart the enemy. (Kjochaiche, 5) Their job is to try and predict what kind of viruses will be made as well as the existing viruses. They try to get in the mind of their evil adversaries.(5) They learn to explore what is going on in the hackers brain. Good hackers try to eliminated viruses and find was to stop people from uploading them. Their goals are to write software to prevent such occurrences. They are hired by companies to find safety measures that will help the company. Web servers are introducing new software that was used to be hacker-proof.(Orman, 2) These good hackers are essential for the survival of technology and the Internet.
(Dellert, 4) Hackers will be around no matter what happens. There will always be loop holes that the hacker can break into. There will always be the man who thinks he can rein over technology.(5) It is a constant war between good and evil. The government and other companies will spend millions and millions each year. This what people pay for in their taxes.
Every one suffers from this problem. There are underground hacker groups that hack for fun. Because they are underground police and government agents cannot track them down. There is a certain respect between each of the hackers. You dont rat someone out even if they are your enemy.(3) All hackers are linked together even though they never meet each other personally.
Your work sort of represents yourself.(6) On an occasion you might even have a team of hackers working together. This is very uncommon but can happen especially when the job is to big for one man and it needs to completed right away. But with the group of hackers comes different views and often the hacker relationship(1) doesnt work out. More often than not the hackers are soloists.(Kjochaiche, 6) It is proven that when hackers work together they get caught more often. Hackers will always do their work just like doctors will always treat patience. With the growth of technology comes new threats, and new problems.
This will continue to be on the rise due to advances in the world.(Hackers, 3) Millions and millions of dollars will be put to end this but this will not work because new ways of hacking will always be made.

Yesterday's Goodbye Johnny post started me thinking about the appearance of Johnny in songs. He crops up quite often- it's a good lyrical name, sounds youthful and rebellious (see Marlon Brando in The Wild One- 'What ya rebelling against Johnny?' he gets asked. 'Whaddya got?' he snarls back), it scans well and sings well.
Johnny is the victim in The Wedding Present's 1989 masterpiece Kennedy. Harry walks away with his wife. Maybe he'd eaten too much apple pie. I've never fully understood the lyrics to this song. The Kennedy in the title is (presumably) John F Kennedy, another Johnny, but the 35th President of the USA didn't lose his wife to a man called Harry. Confusing.
The guitars on Kennedy are superb, frenetic and trebly and rushing their way through the song. And the breakdown with the bass riff is hairs-standing-up-on-the-back-of-the-neck stuff.

text: Audience "Identity" Now a Major Priority for U.S. Marketers Capitol Communicator August 9, 2018 Insights, MarketingDetermining audience "identity" has become a major priority over the past year for U.S. marketers, many of whom plan to increase their investment in finding and developing identity solutions, according to a new study.The study, "Know Your Audience: The Evolution of Identity in a Consumer-Centric Marketplace," was published by the ANA (Association of National Advertisers) based on research conducted by the consulting and research firm Winterberry Group.According to a release, the report revealed "that 58 percent of survey respondents indicated their company has intensified its focus on audience identity over the past year, while nearly half (47 percent) reported their organization will increase their investment on audience identity solutions over the coming 12 months."The following is from the release:For purposes of the study, the term "identity" was defined as "The effort to recognize and understand individual audience members (including customers, prospects, and other visitors) across channels and devices such that brands can interact with those individuals in ways that are relevant to, meaningful to, and supportive of overarching business objectives." However, the report also revealed that despite the growing appetite for identity solutions, marketers lack the tools, data, and expertise needed to recognize audiences across all addressable touchpoints. In fact, only 15 percent of respondents said they can identify their audiences accurately and consistently; the majority of respondents (69 percent) reported only partial success with their identity efforts."Marketers today face complex, numerous, and costly challenges that affect their brands' ability to engage with their audiences in relevant, respectful, consistent, personalized, and meaningful ways," said ANA CEO Bob Liodice. "This report clearly shows that marketers are seeking tangible strategies for identifying and engaging customer audiences in ways that are responsible, personalized, and optimized to meet both consumer needs and business objectives."CHALLENGESThe report identified several key challenges facing marketers:The emergence of new communication channels. Adults in the U.S. today typically interact with an average of 3.5 such devices (including computers, smartphones, and tablets), and the growing adoption of connected speakers, virtual assistants, smart TVs, wearables, smart home management solutions, and connected cars has led to speculation that this number may jump to more than 20 per person by the year 2020.An increasingly complex customer journey. Enabled by the proliferation of devices and the growing addressability of touchpoints for both promotional and transactional purposes, this journey offers consumers a virtually unlimited range of pathways to engage with a brand.Regulatory changes and consumer scrutiny of data collection, management, and use practices, which in some cases serve to inhibit more rapid innovation in data-driven marketing.ADDITIONAL FINDINGSThe survey defined "identity solutions" as "The coordinated activation of platforms, data, and supporting services (both provided by third parties and sourced from among marketers' in-house resources) that support persistent recognition of audience members across all devices and other promotional and transactional touchpoints," and reported:Marketers are excited about the potential contributions of emerging "linking and matching" identity solutions (such as orientation services, identity graphs and, recently, CDPs) — but say that well-established data-driven marketing tools, like CRM databases, typically represent the centerpiece of their identity efforts today.Marketers are currently leveraging identity solutions primarily in support of audience segmentation and targeting.Marketers' efforts and investments in identity solutions are being inhibited by challenges to their direct return on investment, or to understanding how efforts are affecting business outcomes. This may in turn be inhibiting investment in new and dedicated solutions.CONCLUSION"The U.S. identity market will expand rapidly as investments in dedicated solutions increase from $900 million in 2018 to $2.6 billion in 2022," the study reported. "Marketers who prioritize developing and implementing a strategy, including identifying key use cases and requirements for their business, will be best positioned to use a growing set of focused services and solutions. Collectively they will create transformative value for their customers, and consequently their businesses." Marketers are increasingly coming to see 'identity' as the key to delivering improved customer experiences and personalized interactions with audience members across all touchpoints," said Bruce Biegel, senior managing director at Winterberry Group. "That focus is only likely to intensify in the near future, especially as marketers get a better handle on the changing regulatory landscape and gain a better understanding of how to address the complexity inherent in integrating data with the right collection of platforms and processes.

Good Morning sweet friends! Happy Tuesday!
We're home & settled back in the Midwest & it feels good to get back into our routine. I do miss my Tennessee family already, but I'm thankful to have had a safe trip back & be welcomed by our lonely-much needed attention- humble abode. We enjoyed simple & quiet living the last 10 days. When we visit his home there isn't a whole lot of cell signal, so typically most people have a home phone. Something my family quickly learned when I finally received full bars, and they're calling frantically yelling " FINALLY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU!" I truly enjoy the farm & hill country. Something I think I'll rant on about in another post, but while I was able to enjoy a lot of quiet, and lounging around outdoors on various porch swings & rocking chairs, I thought about everything I do to try and keep me grounded. What do I try to do to maintain a simple life, and keep me from being sucked into the hustle & bustle, the continual progressive lifestyle of today's society? I thought of a few things.
- Faith: I really do push myself to be closer to God. To learn to be part of a Christian community. I take my time when I read the bible, I often try to spend my day keeping what I learned from my morning readings at the forefront of my mind so I can practice applying it through my daily living.
- I read. Instead of spending hours watching reality TV, or scrolling through Facebook, I curl up & read! I silence my phone, I open the windows & I will spend the next hour or so just reading. It's honest fun for me. I don't care about anything else in the world at that moment, except what I'm reading. My sweet cousin works for a publishing company & I explained to her the types of books I enjoy reading. I said: "Anything that takes place in the southern part of the United States, anything around the 1800s/civil war era. I enjoy modern romance novels something similar to Nicolas Sparks. I would like anything around the time of the revolutionary war. I like reading about adventure, and anything that takes place In the 40s & 50s in America. I also wouldn't stray from a great teen fiction novel!" OK talk about hitting the nail on the head! I mean when I came home & saw these books waiting for me, I immediately delved into them! They are exactly the types of books I enjoy reading, and just reading the excerpt on the back of the book aloud, my husband was even like wow these sound like they would be great movies!" haha he's not a reader. A couple of them take place in the 1950's in the south/Midwest & I just know I'm going to get through these fast!
- I take naps. haha! I mean it. Even when I was working full time, going to school, and making it the gym all in one day, I would still wiggle in a nap. Not a 2-4 hour nap, goodness that's not a nap that's a...i don't know what that is, but sleeping that long makes me feel gross & groggy when I wake up. I mean just a 20-30 minute nap. I feel so refreshed afterwards.
- I take care of the things I have. We live in such a throw away society, a I don't take pride or care what I have generation, and I really try not to live that way. I think everything I have in my life is a blessing, and what not a greater way to show gratitude & pride for what you have then by taking care of it? Whether it be my car, my home, my electronics, my clothing. I really take care of it. I keep my home clean, I actually do my laundry not just ' throw in a load'. I read the garment tags, I use the delicate cycle almost 90% of the time. If it says dry flat, well I'll dry flat! I keep track of my auto maintenance & every couple of months will take it to really be cleaned & vacuumed out. I make sure my husband mows the lawn, I wash my bed sheets 1x a week. I really have an appreciation for the material possessions in my life. Not to mention, myself. I take care of myself! I go to the gym, I eat healthy. God gave me this body & I want to love it.
- Handwritten notes. When was the last time you sat down & sent a letter to someone? It's so
personal, thoughtful, and appreciative. I promise there's nothing like a sweet thank you note, or
just a letter to remind someone how much you mean to them, or share about new events going on in your life. I know that is soooooo nontraditional nowadays. Why do that when you can text it? but I refuse to give up on it. I think they express more than a text message anyday, and if you're reading this you should send something to your grandma, your best friend, your parents right this minute. They will love it.
- I call my parents. Often. I think really spending time with my parents & family keeps me grounded. I'm far away from them right now, but I will always set time out of my day to just chat with them. They really help me through life, guide me, send me money every now and then!! haha!
- I constantly make lists or goals that I have. The more conscious I am about the things I want out of life, the more determined I am to make them happen.
- I cook & bake. I enjoy it, and I can share what I make with others and that makes me happy more than anything else.
- I surround myself with those who have similar values. It makes such a positive and profound difference in your life. I have this girlfriend who I honestly believe is my sister-soul mate! Who happens to be my husbands best friends for life- wife. The other day we just sat & talked for several hours. I mean it. several. We shared the most intimate parts of our life, what we believe in, what we don't. When I read I read this excerpt this morning I immediately thought of her:
" Associate with a religious man who you are sure keeps the commandments; who is like-minded with yourself and will feel for you if you fall." Sirach37:12
She loves God, she believes in many of the same things I do, and that makes life so much sweeter knowing you have that companionship.
- I am learning to live within my means. Something that I was fairly good at when I was solely responsible for my needs, but now that I am married, it takes adjusting & I recently read this in one of my devotionals and it really had me thinking:
"On a scale of one to ten (with one being "almost never" and ten being "almost always"), how often do you think of God when you are making financial decisions?
I know that if this is something that is a continual thought, I might think twice about some of our financial decisions.
I want to live a full life. A life that is mine, a life that follows Jesus & the bible, a simple life that is full of those that I love. I want to have a kind heart, and a passion to follow God's will. I remind myself daily that I don't need to be like others, I don't need to dress like others, speak like others, I don't need to believe what others believe & pretend I like something because others do. I want to live a fulfilling journey that is pure & honest.
This is how me & I keep my two feet on the ground.
p.s. I've owned this devotional for several years, and I always go back to it. There is so much goodness in this book that I really recommend you get it or at least check it out :)

Both he and his lover of eight years sleep with other men with each other's consent and blessing. "Neither of us practices monogamy," he said. "Well, if one of you does, it's really sad, isn't it? And yes, it works," Has it hurt their romance? "No jealousy," he insisted. "After eight years, I can walk out the door and tell him I'm off to get my end away. And there's not a piece of him that worries. And vice versa."

Facebook Algorithm Changes 2014
Facebook makes changes to its algorithm from time to time. In everyday speak, that means Facebook decides what we see and how much of it we see in our news feeds based on viewing habits and interaction. From a brand's viewpoint, we see the effect of our posts through our pages Insights section. We measure the number of likes we have, the number of people reached and it gives us a clear guide to how our communication is going. In the past weeks, Facebook has changed their algorithm again, and a Facebook spokesperson has gone so far as to say that the 'organic reach for a brand will now slowly decline'
'What?' I hear you say, and you are not alone. This latest change has left users very frustrated. However when you break it down, a regular Facebook user can be exposed to 1500 interactions a day – that includes posts, likes, comments, shares, videos, photos and so on – the purpose of the algorithm is to prioritise what people see.
We can't change how Facebook operates, but we can ensure we do all we can to maximise a brand's visibility as a result of these changes. Keep your brand's message strong and the following will help get your brand's content in front of as many people as possible.
1. Facebook is really good at building community
Review how you respond to comments. Do you answer questions and comments on Facebook? If not, you're missing out an essential function of the social network. What does this have to do with getting your posts seen? It doesn't take long for the people you "talk" with online to become brand advocates. And brand advocates spread the word!
2. Use Facebook to build an email list
Love it or hate it, email is a powerful marketing tool. Developing an app hosted contest on Facebook can literally build a database overnight. Create a competition with a prize people want to win and watch the entries come rolling in!
3. Ask your fans to adjust their News Feed settings
Ask your fans to opt-in to "Get Notifications" from your Page. They can do this by heading to your Timeline and clicking on the "Liked" button and selecting "Get Notifications." When clicked, Facebook will notify that user every time you post, just like they're notified of Friend Requests and Comments/Likes/Shares on their personal posts.
4. Use Facebook advertising
There's one more thing you can do to get your content seen by more of your fans: advertise. The "pay to play" mentality is irritating to many people, especially small business owners with limited budgets, but on Facebook you can target your ads so specifically that it's at least worth some experimentation.
According to AdAge "Consumers are hyper aware of the advertising that creeps into their social streams, so the brand has a responsibility to connect in a meaningful way that resonates." The lesson here: If your business is investing, or planning to invest in Facebook advertising, create well executed and targeted Facebook ads for the News Feed. If you want to learn more about Facebook advertising, call us on +61 422 231 257. We'd be happy to chat through options.

So why doesn't everyone play board games instead of sitting silently in front of the TV or spending an intimate evening with their phones? My theory is that they haven't found the right games to play. In this blog thread I will suggest games for couples to play together to introduce the idea of gaming and hopefully start a life-long hobby.
So. Without further ado, why should you be playing games?
It's a Fun Way to Spend Quality Time
My first memories of board games were of playing different family games each year on New Year's Eve. We'd just moved away from all of our extended family and instead of getting bummed on the holidays, we started some new traditions of our own. Fast forward 22 years or so and I still play family board games every New Year's Eve (and almost every other day of the year...not the point).
It is an incredible way to spend time together talking, laughing, and playing. You can learn a lot about someone when they feel threatened in a game of Risk...maybe some things you didn't want to know. Joking aside, there's nothing quite like having the undivided attention of a person to whom you are giving up your time to be with. Put the phones away, turn off the TV, and really be with people.
Everyone Else is Doing It
Okay, so maybe this isn't a great reason to do most things, but it is definitely a reason to finally embrace gaming. The board game hobby has absolutely blown up in the past fifteen years. What used to consist of 80 versions of Monopoly, Magic the Gathering (and the smell that came with it...), and the weird kids who played Dungeons and Dragons has now grown into a thriving market of people with all sorts of different interests and gaming comfort levels.
There are conventions, Meet Ups, and clubs sprouting up all over the world to celebrate a love for everything board games. This means that you will have instant friends who like the same things you do as soon as you sit down to play with these people. And we're an open group, we want everyone to play board games, the more the merrier. This also means that you won't have to drop hundreds of dollars to adopt the hobby...though you'll probably want to (it's called.acquisition disorder...yep, it's so serious gamers gave it a clinical-sounding name).
Let's just review. Playing board games is a fun hobby, that will help you make and spend more time with friends, and you can do it for free (though you'll probably become addicted and NEED to buy that expansion or that new release or that promotion or every game from that designer you like....my precioussssss).
Need I say more?
Now that you're thoroughly convinced that board games are for you and your significant other, stay tuned for a weekly post about game suggestions and lists of must-plays. Until then, check out the communities at BoardGameGeek, the Dice Tower, and Reddit for some good conversation and insight.
Play on, playa'.

Hindfoot Fusions
The Problem
We recommend fusing (stiffening) of the joints in the back of your foot for two basic reasons:
- You have pain in those joints from arthritis or other problems. This is often from an old injury, joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or from a growth defect where the bones do not completely separate as they are made. Arthritis can also occur in this area without a known cause.
- The back of your foot is not in the right alignment to both put the ball of the foot flat on the floor and keep the heel straight at the same time. Sometimes making the joints in the back of the foot stiff is the only way to straighten the foot out and hold it there.
The Surgery
Often we only need to fuse the joint right under your ankle called the "subtalar joint". We get at it through a short incision on the outside of the foot and we hold the bone still by putting a screw through the heel. The screw needs to stay in for at least 6 months. About 15% of the time, patients have a little tenderness over it and ask us to take it out as a simple day surgery.
If your arthritis in more widespread or we need to realign the foot more, we will also fuse two other joints right in the front of the subtalar joint called the "calcaneocuboid joint" and the "talonavicular joint". To do this, we have to add a short incision on the inside of the foot. We use screws to hold these joints still as well. When all three joints are fused, most doctors call the surgery a "triple arthrodesis".
Smoking keeps from bones healing well, especially in the foot. You should not smoke for at least 3 months. Also, if you take anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil, Naprosyn or Asprin, you should stop then 5 days before surgery because they can thin your blood.
Surgery Information
Subtalar fusion is done as an outpatient. Most triple arthrodesis patients stay one night.
After the Surgery: You will have a large, bulky dressing that comes up to just below the knee. Keep your foot elevated above your heart as much as possible for the first week. YOU CANNOT WALK ON THE FOOT. Some patients like to practice on crutches before having surgery.
2 Weeks: We will take out your stitches and put on a removable cast boot. You must wear this all the time (even at night) and take your foot out only to gently wash it.
6 weeks: If your X-rays show healing, we will let you slowly start putting weight on the foot.
3 Months: Most patients can begin weaning out of the boot. Begin by wearing the boot only when you go outside the house for 2 weeks, then not at all. We we will let you know when it's safe to take each step.
3 ½-6 months: Most patients are back to regular shoes and activities.

Organizations nowadays no longer compete as independent entities, but as chains (Christopher, 1998; Cox, 1999; Lambert and Cooper, 2000). Hence, being part of a well-performing chain is crucial for the future of the individual food firm, especially in the context of the globalizing economy. As a result, the objective of this study is to identify performance imbalances of traditional food chains. Therefore, quantitative data were collected via individual interviews with 271 chain members (91 suppliers, 91 focal companies and 89 customers) of 91 traditional food chains from three European countries (Belgium, Italy and Hungary), representing six different traditional food product categories (cheese, beer, ham, sausage, white pepper and bakery). The results differentiate six different kinds of chain imbalances, namely: dyadic upper and lower, up- and downstream, internal and external indicate both dyadic and chain-wise imbalance. Most chain imbalances are noticed in relation to lowering logistic costs and to reducing lead time. Future research should extend the list of performance indicators with parameters other than economical ones such as ecological and social ones.

Introduction: How to Make a Cookie Monster
Have something to do? Don't want to do it? Make a Cookie Monster!
Procrastination at its finest! plus...a giant cookie...
Step 1: What You'll Need...
Here is a list of what you will need:
1. A college apartment and/or residence of some sort. It doesnt have to be yours but make sure you have permission to be there...or make sure your super sneaky skills are finely honed.
2. Cookie dough! i find the pre-made logs to be the best to work with on a project like this. Off brand is preferred. it costs less and tastes just as good as Pillsbury...or use whatever brand you want i dont give a crap...but make sure its in log form or this wont turn out right....
3. A cookie sheet.
4. An Oven. A basic one. The regular kind.
5. A goofy roomate/portable dishwasher.(both optional but makes for easier cleanup and fun)
Step 2: Gettin' Started!
Pre-heat the oven you have commandeered to a balmy 329 degrees Fahrenheit.
This temperature may be increased or decreased at your discretion bu this is what worked for me. You can trust me or you can be stubborn and disagree with me like you always do. I'm just sayin'...that's the temp i put it at and it turned out great. ok? ok!
Step 3: Spray the Pan, Man!
Spray cookie sheet with Pam or Pam's cousin, generic Pam.
Step 4: Carefully Remove Cookie Dough Log...
This step may be potentially dangerous for small children.
Assuming you're an able adult, grab a knife, get in there and strip the log of its sexy wrapping.
*Note: be careful not cut into the log of dough, this may ruin the entire project and ruin your dinner party.
Step 5: Place Cookie Log on Pam'd Pan
I have something to confess.
When i first made this i accidentally skipped step 3... : /
Regardless it worked out cause i think there was still some on there from the last time someone made cookies on the sheet. Anyways...this step is pretty much self explanatory but i figured i would illustrate it the best i could so things don't go disastrously wrong. OK!
Step 6: Sneak Some...
Cut off a bit from the end and eat it. you know you want to. :)
Step 7: Place Log in Over (PLO)
Put the Log in the Oven.
Be careful it will be HoTT!
Step 8: Play Darts
Leave the log in the oven for about a half hour...
while you're waiting, play some darts! or you can play Call of Duty or read a book or something fun.
Step 9: Bust a Move!
Check on the log after about a half our and if it looks done take it out!
Use oven mits, that shit's hot!
wait about 10 to 20 min for it to cool down a bit.
As you'll see, it doesn't look like a log anymore but more of a football cookie.
Now you can put frosting on it to make it look like a football, or you can make it into a COOKIE MONSTER!
Use a knife and get creative. That's what i did!
Step 10: Go Start Your Homeowork
You've wasted enough time. Now, go do your homework or housework or get to your job/career or whatever it is you've been putting off...

This mouth freshener can be used prior to any company meeting where 1 has to address his colleagues.
