NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian was the star of the show at Friday night's Marsdens Law Group 50h anniversary celebration dinner.
And as she so eloquently put it during her off the cuff speech: "Looking around I can see that Macarthur royalty is attending this wonderful occasion.''
Indeed it was and if we were to name them all we'd be here all day.
But it's worth mentioning that foreign minister Marise Payne came to the Campbelltown Catholic Club function straight from the airport after returning from a trip to China.
Her partner and NSW sports minister Stuart Ayres was also at the function.
Former premiers [Morris Iemma], government ministers, mayors current and former and high profile business people were sprinkled at the tables around the Cube.
One of the firm's oldest clients, Tony Perich, gave a warm speech praising the firm, while the premier said Marsdens had been a remarkable success.
Senior partner Jim Marsden made the final speech in which he outlined the history of the firm over the past 50 years, his brother John and the "secret'' of its success.
It was quite a night.
We hear One Nation candidate Mark Latham will be the guest speaker at this month's gathering of the Macarthur Club this Friday at the Hermitage Restaurant in Grange Road, Leumeah. Former Labor leader Latham will be at the top of the One Nation ticket for the NSW Upper House at next March's state election.
He is expected to easily win an eight year term.
A lot of people have been asking us what happened to Macarthur Greeks Inc. They want to know if there will be more Greek themed functions around the region.
Having spoken to some of the key people behind the group we can report that after a bit of a slowing down in activity over the past 12 months expect to see and hear about Macarthur Greeks Inc out and about in 2019.
A recent bucks party at the Crown Hotel in Camden ended badly when the groom fell from a balcony and injured himself.
As a result the wedding, which was on the next day, had to be postponed as he was in hospital for treatment.
We hear that the pub's CCTV captured some of the buck's party fun, including the groom's fall from a balcony.
Popular Aboriginal elder Uncle Ivan had just performed a smoking ceremony in Queen Street, Campbelltown and was enjoying some morning tea when he spotted a fire engine had pulled up nearby.
It was a particularly windy morning last Friday and there had been a lot of smoke from his burning gum leaves but Uncle Ivan wanted to be sure that the firies hadn't been called because of him.
So seeing the South West Voice walking towards the fire engine, he said, Uncle, tell them we haven't got a problem here.
Which we did, and the firie, smiling, said in response: tell Uncle Ivan he doesn't need to worry, we're not here for him.
The awards keep coming for Oran Park town library.
It seems it has picked up a Master Builders Association award but the builder didn't tell anyone about it.
On Friday we published a much read story about the spectacular looking library had taken out a Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue award for Outstanding Community Project of 2018.
Last week federal member for Werriwa Anne Stanley had a visit by Invictus Games champion Andrew Wilkinson and his fluffy companion Able Seaman Miller, pictured below.
Wilkinson won four gold medals and three silver medals across cycling, running, and swimming, while
Able Seaman Miller is one of 10 #ANZACBears.
These bears are all named after WWI servicemen and are helping to raise awareness of Australia's military history.

In much the same vein as the incredible work of Christopher Boffoli, Japanese artist/designer/art director, miniature photographer Tatsuya Tanaka's playful take on macro photography is really memorable. Tanaka's miniature dioramas, if you will, are almost like stepping into the mind of a young child, pushing his broccoli around the plate while his imagination runs wild. Tanaka says, "Everyone must have had similar thoughts at least once. Broccoli and parsley might sometimes look like a forest, or the tree leaves floating on the surface of the water might sometimes look like little boats. Everyday occurrences seen from a pygmy's perspective can bring us lots of fun thoughts." A key word here is everyday. Tanaka has actually committed himself to releasing one of these each day, a project aptly titled Miniature Calendar, and has been doing so since April 2011. Yes, everyday, folks. The body of work here is tremendous, and Tanaka's perspective is fascinating. This is obviously just a very small sample of an incredible project that's worth following. Just ask his impressive social media following: 35K on Facebook, 242K on Instagram, 88K on Twitter. Tanaka's mission is simple: "It would be great if you could use it to add a little enjoyment to your everyday life." We couldn't agree more.

Earth Day Pledge
Commissioner challenges fossil fuel industry
4/23/2019, 3:52 p.m.
One day after protesters in Portland planted a "Victory Garden" along Northwest Front Avenue and partially blocked a train track to protest Alberta tar sands oil shipments to Portland's Zenith Energy terminal, Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty issued a challenge to advance the environmental concerns about pollution from fossil fuels.
Hardesy says she will not knowingly accept any future campaign contribution of over $200 from Political Action Committees or front groups of fossil fuel companies amidst the climate protests and calls for action locally and internationally. In addition, she says she will not take any money from these groups, according to her statement, issued on Earth Day.
"We need a city where every voice matters. Where our democracy works for everyone and our government listens to all of us. Fossil fuel money corrupts that and elevates the voices of dirty energy at the expense of people's health, the climate, and our democracy, something I will always reject," Hardesty said.
Hardesty previously championed the Portland Clean Energy Fund, a city ballot measure that voters passed last fall that is anticipated to bring in $54 million to $71 million in new revenue aimed at generating green jobs and environmental home improvements.
She also spoke with youth at the Youth Climate Protest in front of City Hall last month and more recently supported earlier protests at the Zenith Oil terminal.

There's a lot of stuff going on when it comes to our home screens. Apps. Folders. Widgets. And for years we've had the option for live wallpapers — animations that can interact with our touch, or just show cool things. (Fun fact: We did this Super Mario live wallpaper video nearly six years ago.)
Now we've got 360-degree live wallpapers on the LG G5.
This all comes as part of an update through the LG SmartWorld app store, which should already be loaded on your phone. (In fact, the "360 wallpaper" app had already loaded itself onto my phone through the LG Update Center.) Open SmartWorld and look for the "Enjoy 360 wallpaper" banner. Tap it and you'll go straight to that section. From there you'll see more on these wallpapers, and instructions on how to install them. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll find the wallpapers themselves. (Alternatively, you can just search SmartWorld for "360 wallpaper" and you'll be taken straight to the goods.)
Tap a wallpaper, download it to your phone, and you're good to go. (SmartWorld is still really slow for me for downloads, though.) You can apply one of LG's wallpapers directly from SmartWorld, which right now is the easiest way to do things. LG's own instructions for installing through the Gallery app don't work just yet.) Alternatively, you can to the following:
- Long press on the home screen.
- Choose "Home screen settings.
- Choose "Wallpaper."
- Choose "Live wallpapers."
- Choose "360 wallpaper."
- Choose "Edit"
- Now choose "Image"
- And now you can either choose something out of your gallery — which is where you can find the 360 wallpapers you downloaded — or anything LG had pre-installed.
And as you've guessed by now, you can use any sort of 360-degree picture for this sort of thing, including ones that you've taken yourself through Photosphere on the Google Camera app or LG's own 360-degree photo mode.
When you hit Step 4 above, you'll also notice three options. By default, the wallpapers are set to move as you move the phone. It'll also have some inertia, and keep moving after your stopped moving the phone. The third option lets you turn on gesture scrolling. (Which is what I used to make it easier to show the example above, which I took with the LG 360 CAM In New York City. And that's why you see the folders distort.)
One final little trick answers a question I've had for weeks. When you make the "zoom in" motion with your fingers on LG's home screen, you end up with a look at your wallpaper, with all of the apps and folders hidden. That didn't make much sense before. Now, it does. Giving a quick peek at a 360-degree wallpaper is much cooler than a static image. We still don't know what this is going to do to the battery on your phone, but it's a fun way to enjoy 360-degree photos and maybe show off to your friends a little.

Human nature is the concept which distinguishes inherent characteristics such as thinking capacity, feeling and acting that all human beings have. Human nature provide standards or norms that individuals can use when judging how best to live like human being or community members. Human beings have different natures. Nature in the real sense is the natural, physical and material worlds. Nature refers to the physical world phenomena and also to life in general which ranges from subatomic to the cosmic (Schopenhauer 81).
Buy Human nature essay paper online
Human nature according to Karl Marx's concept has been a misunderstanding subject. Marx considers human beings as simply a blank slate, whose characteristics depend totally on their experience and social life. Marx place immense benefits on the view that environment influence and determine the characteristics of the individuals. Marx had an exceptionally strong concept of human nature on one stage of his development. He discussed the species essence concept form the 'German Gattungswesen' which is sometimes referred species being. Under capitalism, Marx believed individuals are alienated that is separated from human nature aspects. He envisaged the society succeeding capitalism which will fully exercise human in their individualism and human nature. The understanding of human nature according to Marx did not play any role in his capitalism critique, and in his belief of a possible better society. Marx aimed to expand product forces. In the Germany Ideology, the tendency of human beings to act in generation of new needs and fulfillment of their needs are social activity aspects which ground Marx's history. This tendency of human according to Marx is what drives productive power expansion in human civilization.
According to Nietzsche, human nature is a cultural condition, and what individuals are before they make something for themselves. To him, a few exceptional humans are the creators who subject themselves to prevailing norms, and raise themselves above the all- too- human mass (Kazantzakis and Makridis 95). He compares humans beings with other animals in every significant of physical attributes. He claims what distinguishes individuals in the fact that they were programmed even before they were born to learn their family language and culture. He considers animals to have certain capacities, but people are the only species to have created new evolution form of language and culture (Kazantzakis and Makridis 24).Want an expert to write a paper for you Talk to an operator now
Nietzsche, in beyond good and evil accuses philosophers of past in lacking critical sense and accepting blindly premises of Christianity in their moral consideration. His work moves around beyond good ad evil in leaving behind the traditional morality. He criticizes 'unegoistic morality' and demands all the immoralities to first bow before the rank order. On morality genealogy, Nietzsche claims that herd-animal morality today is in Europe which emanates from resentment of slave for the masters which leads into genealogy discussions. He presents the origin of morality as the master-morality. Nietzsche considers slave-morality as an outcome of master-morality reaction. He associates slave- morality with Christians and Jewish cultures. The value arose between good and bad, or between life- affirmation and life denial, wealth, strength, health, power and other traits that count like legitimate. The bad on the other side is associated with sickness, poor, pathetic and other slavery in ancient times (Kazantzakis and Makridis 94). The consequences of actions were judged in the femoral period of mankind. However, morality intentions according to Nietzsche is something provisional and prejudice that must be overcome. He campaigned against morality and established moral systems based on a dichotomy of good and evil (Kazantzakis and Makridis 90).
Nietzsche was a philosopher who ironically rejected the religion and came up with a phrase 'God is dead' and descended from a respected clergyman line. Nietzsche's philosophy calls for the completion of moral reevaluations and attacks the Judaism and Christianity traditions in the modern society. He professed that the morality laws of man were more advanced, as democracy support and equal rights. He talked on moral creation and their impact on society and individuals. Unlike Marx, Nietzsche believes that slave morality was one that included humility, obedience, and submission, and was destructive choice and Christian attribute. The powers of man need to attain the master morality which is full of pride and arrogance. He proved that master morality was the only true way to success in life, and it was to come through any coast (Schopenhauer 84).
On the moral genealogy, Nietzsche shows a tremendous impact on culture of Germans from the twenties century up to present century. The views of Nietzsche were so popular unlike that of Marx because Nietzsche had conventional beliefs and practices during his time and nearly all of his published work are controversial. Especially on moral genealogy, which is absolute, extremely and dangerous if one misinterprets or takes them into context. The philosophical works of Nietzsche lack complete authority when he suggested that no God, no order nor rules but only the persons and their short lives.
In moving beyond good and evil, Nietzsche, unlike Marx, demands something better believed in the ability of human once more. His weariness is based almost entirely in the resentment culminating. Nietzsche's dissolution of morality concept and the prevailing priestly morality are the culmination of resentment. He wants to move beyond simple, good and evil concepts and abandon the individual assessments through resentments, and restore human beings to their former tremendous ability. Unlike Marx, he started his discussion of good and moral with an etymological assessment of the designations of appropriate coined in various languages. He came up with same conceptual transformation that all human beings are noble in the social sense from which brilliant concept develops. He did not look forward to achieve morality but rather backward trying to get the origins and progression causes (Kazantzakis and Makridis 112).
The theories of Nietzsche and Marx in the society are flawed. They have critical imbalances on them that cause much of suffering to humanity. Marx shows reaction to the fact of community manifesto through describing his vision of balancing the society perfectly that is a communist society. Marx wrote to the society that he believed was the best form of society possible. He describes the proper balance between individual needs and society needs in a communist society. He thinks violence is sometimes needed to reach communism state. Marx and Nietzsche's theories reflect upon individual relationships and society, and the issue of violence, as portrayed in each manifesto. They both focus on the realization of a human being from their cultural perspectives in their philosophical work (Kazantzakis and Makridis 95).
Nietzsche and Marx and never God unless idolized as God in which the case of Nietzsche would interject that the enlightened only believe that God is truly dead. Money and property ownership are the devil. It perhaps outside logical realm in which philosophers are left top free the world or imprison it in slavery system being mistaken.
The Friedrich Nietzsche is more satisfying because he revolutionized philosophy and saw more clear vision than Karl Marx or any other philosophers of the modernity implications. Friedrich made it clear that dualism was, so Christianity has to die a well-deserved death. To him, the scientist God is dead as the religion God (Kazantzakis and Makridis 127). In other words, Friedrich's philosophy is the romantic rejection culmination of nationality and idealization of natural feeling.

Chloe started out a little shy, poking at the cake, looking at her moms to make sure it was ok. After we reassured her that, yes Chloe this cake is for you, and yes you are free to smash it to your heart's content, she built up the confidence to get her hands dirty. And her face, and her hair 🙂 Of course then we had to clean up with a bubble bath! Despite loving baths at home, for some reason she wasn't too excited to get into my cute little tub so we made that part quick. Then she got to show off her new walking and crawling skills!

United States District Court, D. Idaho
May 28, 2018
KATHLEEN HOWARTH, as personal representative of the Estate of Brian Howarth; and KATHLEEN HOWARTH, individually, Plaintiffs,v.GORDON LUTHER, M.D., an Individual, Defendants.
are (1) Defendant Gordon Luther M.D.'s Motion in Limine
(Dkt. 121), and (2) Plaintiffs' Motions in Limine (Dkt.
123). Having carefully reviewed the record and otherwise
being fully advised, the Court enters the following
Memorandum Decision and Order resolving Defendant's
Motion in Limine and partially resolving Plaintiffs'
Motions in Limine. A subsequent decision will resolve the
balance of Plaintiffs' Motions in Limine.
Defendant Gordon Luther M.D.'s Motion in Limine (Dkt.
moves the Court for an order prohibiting Plaintiffs from
offering the following evidence: (1) Exhibit 6 (autopsy
photographs), (2) Exhibits 9a-9e (lung diagrams), and (3)
Exhibits 10a-10h (pre-death photographs).
Exhibit 6 (Autopsy Photographs)
contends that both the number and nature of the autopsy
photographs that have been proposed in Plaintiffs'
Exhibit 6 are irrelevant and prejudicial. Defendant further
contends that such photographs were not produced to Defendant
as part of the initial disclosures required under Rule 26(a)
and therefore Plaintiffs should be precluded from admitting
such photographs under Rule 37(c).
contend that the Defendant did not request production of
trial exhibits in written discovery. Plaintiffs also say that
they produced a complete copy of the autopsy report in
discovery, but then say that the copy they first received did
not contain the photographs which were then obtained in a
follow-up request to the Medical Examiner's office.
the information available to the Court, the Court concludes
that the photographs were not produced to the
Defendant during the discovery process, even though the
remainder of the report was produced. The Court also
concludes that many, if not most, of the photographs depict
something other than the lungs and dissected sections of the
Court agrees with Defendant that the autopsy photographs
which depict post-mortem images of something other than the
lungs and lung tissue have only a remote, if any, evidentiary
value to this case. Further, the Court finds that any
evidentiary value that might exist in such photographs is
outweighed by the gruesomeness of such images and the highly
prejudicial impact that such images would have on the mind of
the jurors as they consider how to decide the case.
Therefore, the Court grants the motion in limine as to the
photographs which do not depict the lung or dissected
sections of the lung tissue. But the relevance of those
photographs that do depict the lung or dissected
sections of the lung tissue is not remote, and the danger of
prejudice as to such photographs is much less
Defendant contends that none of the photographs was produced
under Rule 26(a), and therefore should be excluded under Rule
37(c). Rule 26(a), of course, imposes the fundamental initial
disclosure requirement upon every party, to include (in
subpart (ii)) " a copy…of all
documents…that the disclosing party has in its
possession, custody, or control and may use to support its
claims or defenses, unless the use would be solely for
impeachment." In turn, Rule 37(a) requires that a party
failing to provide information required by Rule 26(a)
"is not allowed to use that information…at a
trial, unless the failure was substantially justified or is
is no particular justification offered by Plaintiffs for the
failure to provide the photographs, other than the reference
to the fact that the photos were not provided to
Plaintiffs' counsel with the report, and a
"follow-up" request had to be made. Hence, the
circumstances are very similar to those presented by
Plaintiffs' motion to preclude evidence from Defendant
seeking to allow the jury to consider the possible fault of
others in causing Howarth's death. In other words,
similar to the Plaintiffs' circumstance of being aware
that the Defendant was contending others were to blame,
notwithstanding the content of a possibly ambiguous written
discovery response, the Defendant was aware from having
received the autopsy report sans photographs that
there were, in fact, photographs (as is always the case with
an autopsy) that would have accompanied the report, but made
no specific request for the same. Plaintiffs should have
supplemented their earlier disclosures with the photographs,
but on these facts the Court is persuaded that the Defendant
reasonably could have acted to fill that gap, much as
Plaintiffs reasonably could have acted to settle any
potential uncertainty about the Defendant's intentions
regarding the potential blame to be borne by other persons.
Further, the Court is persuaded that the failure to produce
the photographs of the lungs is harmless in this case, where
the medical examiner who performed the autopsy will testify,
will have first-hand knowledge of the condition of the lungs
and the appearance of the lung tissue, and where the
photographs will help the jury to understand his testimony,
including any cross-examination.
Court would rule the other way, however, as to the remainder
of the 60 photographs proposed by Plaintiffs in Exhibit 6 and
indicates so here for the benefit of counsel, even though it
appears that Plaintiffs have indicated they do not intend to
seek admission of any of the other 60 photographs.
Defendant's motion in limine is denied as to the ten
autopsy photographs depicting the lung or dissected sections
of the lung tissue.
Exhibits 9a-9e (Lung Diagrams)
proposed lung diagrams are appropriate illustrative exhibits,
for purposes of testimony only. The Court will permit their
use, provided a proper foundation as to what the diagrams
depict and as to the purpose of illustration, is made.
Exhibits 10a-10h (Pre-Death Photographs)
Court is satisfied that as to these photographs, the
requirements of Rule 26(2) and 37(c) combine to require the
granting of Defendant's motion in limine. The
photographs, described as photographs of the Howarths'
wedding, honeymoon, and a fishing photograph are described by
Plaintiffs as needed to allow the jury to understand what
Howarth was "capable of bestowing" ...

Could prove far less expensive than the industry's current method
A newly synthesized material might provide a dramatically improved method for separating the highest-octane components of gasoline. Measurements at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have clarified why. The research team, which included scientists from NIST and several other universities, has published its findings in the journal Science.*
Created in the laboratory of Jeffrey Long, professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, the material is a metal-organic framework, or MOF, which can be imagined as a sponge with microscopic holes. The innumerable interior walls of the MOF form triangular channels that selectively trap only the lower-octane components based on their shape, separating them easily from the higher-octane molecules in a way that could prove far less expensive than the industry's current method. The Long laboratory and UC Berkeley have applied for a patent on the MOF, which is known by its chemical formula, Fe2(bdp)3.
High-octane gasolines, the ultra or premium blends at fueling stations, are more expensive than regular unleaded gasoline due to the difficulty of separating out the right type of molecules from petroleum. Petroleum includes several slightly different versions of the same molecule that have identical molecular formulae but varying shapes—called isomers. Creating premium fuel requires a refinery to boil the mixture at precise temperatures to separate the isomers with the most chemical energy. The trouble is, four of these isomers—two of which are high octane, the other two far lower—have only slightly different boiling points, making the overall process both challenging and costly.
The new MOF, however, could allow refineries to sidestep this problem by essentially trapping the lowest-octane isomers while letting the others pass through. The lowest-octane isomers are more linear and can nestle closer to the MOF walls, so when a mixture of isomers passes through the MOF, the less desired isomers stick to its surface—somewhat akin to the way a wet piece of paper sticks to a wall.

Recently, we followed Lady Florence Dixie to Torres del Paine, and had a heart-stopping encounter with the wild horses, or baguales, of Patagonia. The baguales are not very well-known compared to the celebrated "Big Five" of Torres del Paine, but more and more travellers are discovering their mesmerizing elegance and beauty, just like Lady Florence Dixie did more than a hundred years ago, and are even contributing actively to the collection of scientific data in order to understand these wonderful creatures better.
Carolina Palma and Daniela Gamboa, from our Cascada team, went on a Wild Horse Tracking adventure in Torres del Paine. We sat down with them to hear what it felt like to be a modern-day Lady Dixie in the heart of the wilderness.
Carolina and Daniela are ready for an adventure.
Carolina, you're an expert in horses, having written a book on Chilean horses, Caballo chileno: Patrimonio vivo. Could you give us a basic understanding of Chilean and Criollo horses?
C: It's important to distinguish between Chilean and Criollo horses, as they are not the same. The Chilean Horse (written in capitals) is better associated with the corralero horse of central Chile (the area of the huasos, Chilean cowboys), used in general for the rodeo, a sport in which huasos try to stop a calf in an arena. The Chilean Horse is completely purebred, that is to say, after being brought to Chile by the Spanish, it has not mixed with any other race and thus maintained the purity of its own blood. This was helped by the geography of Chile, which has kept the Chilean Horse isolated from other races by the natural barriers of mountains, the sea and the desert. The Chilean Horse has the oldest genealogy in South America and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN declared it a unique race due to these characteristics. Therefore the Chilean Horse is not a kind of Criollo horse, which is present in Argentina, Brasil, Uruguay, etc.
What is the relationship between the baguales and other kinds of horses?
C: One of the things that I learnt on the excursion is that the word 'bagual' refers to any animal domesticable by man but lives in the wild, and thus not actually domesticated. So a cat or a dog, for example, can be baguales too.
How many baguales are there now in Torres del Paine?
C: There are now 97 specimens of baguales in Torres del Paine. They live in the sector of Sierra Masle, in the northeast of the park, specifically around Laguna Stockes.
The beautiful and elusive baguales
How do they survive in the wild? Do they face any threats?
C: Since they are wild animals, they survive in a natural way, feeding on grass. The main threat they face is pumas, which prey on the baguales, and this has caused the bagual population to decline.
Any interesting fact you'd like to add?
C: One of their characteristics is that they always go together in herds. It's very rare to see any of them alone.
Wild Horse Tracking in the spectacular setting of Torres del Paine
Daniela, could you tell us about your experience on the Wild Horse Tracking adventure?
D: It was very interesting to learn to appreciate the scenery, to stay quiet in order to hear the sounds of nature and to be attentive to any sign that may indicate that we could be near the baguales, such as fresh prints made by passing horses.
Looking constantly with binoculars to see if we could spot them from afar made me feel as if I were a child once again playing a game of exploration. Also, I could imagine what those first explorers, such as Lady Florence Dixie, felt on arriving at Torres del Paine and seeing this gorgeous place, where the beauty and peace of the landscape takes your breath away. I should also add that on this excursion, you go to places where there are no other tourists, which heightens the sense that you are alone with nature.
When we found a group of baguales, we were made to do scientific fieldwork, which involved observing the characteristics of each one of the horses, such as their colour, if they had some distinctive mark on their skin, if they were male or female, if there was a foal in the group etc.
What did you like most about going on Wild Horse Tracking?
D: What I liked most was that I had a lot of fun observing with a telescope and feeling that I was contributing what little I could to the conservation of these horses.
Have you spotted something?
As we learnt from Carolina and Daniela, human connection with nature's wild animals requires listening and looking attentively to one's environment. It has been an immensely rewarding experience for both of them. Now you can also follow in the baguales' tracks and explore a little-known area of Torres del Paine National Park on the EcoCamp Wild Horse Tracking extension. Look out for more about baguales on our blog, as next time we interview Victor, an expert in Patagonian baguales.

War seams more and more likely even hour. While engineers on the enterprise and thoughout the federation work fevourusly to find a way to prevent the doorsway. There break though has proven fleating so far!"she said.
"We believe that we have a working early warning system ! "Pitkarn said. "The problem is that we won't totally know if it works until it is used in actual use!"kyile said. "I understand ! Good work !"sotril said.
"We have converted this station to monitor for it. Relief helmsman lt. Mathews has agried to take the consil!"pitkarn said. Sotril got really qiet. Sotril while not loquacious but she usually had something to say. At this moment she did not. It was a very akward moment of silent. No one knew why except for the vulcan and the jr helmsman.
"Very well! I am sure you will do a more then adaquit job lt!"she said. "Thank you commander!" The jr officer said. She reterned to the command chair. She sat down.
"Wait i have a ping!" Mathews said."already?" Yeoman smith asked. " Reinforce shields !" Sotril ordered. Ryian reinforced the shields by rerouting non esential power to the shields.
The ship veered off from the area where the door way would be. The door way apeared out of no where. Dasale managed to get off the first schot. The enterprise fired a volley of phasers and photon torpedoes.
The bird of prey exited the doorway. The enterprise fired on the doorway. The doorway hit the bird of prey. The bird of prey managed to evade the full impact of the wake. The bird of prey went for the enterprise.
Adison watched the battle from sickbay. She felt like her place should be on the bridge. She just could not do it. She stayed in the sickbay.
The bird of prey fired on the enterprise in stragic locations thoughout the ship. It could be felt all though the ship.
The enterprise returned fire. The torpedoes hit the bird of prey. The ship was damaged but was stil intact and still battle ready.
"Lunch the breaching pod!" Tridex ordered. The gunner activated the pod. The pod left the birthing area.
"We have an incoming projectile! "Ryian reported."back us off!"she ordered. Dasale tried to move the ship away. The pod exploded. The energy wave headed for the enterprise.
The helm and navigator tried to move the ship away from the wake. The wake hit the ship. The ship began to lose its gravity.the ship spun around several times.
On the bridge the crew tried to hold on to something. The crew were jostled about. Smith held on with all her might. She felt a bit naucious but was doing ok consirably.
Those in the chairs fell to the floor. Finally sotril got to the helm and restored the gravity. The bird of prey was smaler and more muniverable then the enterprise. It fired on the enterprise command section.
Sotril was hit and knocked unconscious. Mathews went over to help her.
"Damage reports coming in from all decks!" Palmer reported. Pitkarn did the only thing he knew to do. He went over to the chair's intercom.
"Pitcarn to captain mccomic ! Commander sotril is incompacitated. We need you Addison !" Pitkarn said.
In sickbay Addison stood up. She huged lizz. She stood erect. She went over to the com unit. "I am on my way ! "Addison said.
The bird of prey hit the enterprise. Addison entered the bridge. The enterprise hit the bird of prey.
The bird of prey intentionally hit an area near the sickbay. Those in sickbay felt the shock of the blast.
Alison took advantage of the blast. She got free. Piper went for her and she hit him. She ran to the coridor. She opened an airlock. She drifted to space. She was beemed off of open space and on to the bird of prey.
"The bird of prey is withdrawing ! " kyile reported. " sir! Dr. Piper reports that Alison has esaped. "Palmer said. "Dawn it! '" Addison said.
"Addy can you come over hear?" Kyle asked. "Yes of course !"Addison said. She went over to the science station. "I was trying to get information on the ship! I detected human life signs four. Two may be children ! "Kyile said in a low vioce so only Addison could hear it.
"Your absolutely sure about this? "Addison asked . "I would not report it if i was not ! "He said. "Oh my! I can't believe it! "She said. " The good news is that i believe i can tract the ship. The bad news is that i think they want us to tract him! It is a trap! A setup! "Kyile said. "I know that! I can't ignore it! Conmander gioto ! Commander pitkarn i need to see you in private! "She said.
With sotril unconscious in sickbay,that left her iner curcle ,liz daner,dr. Piper,the chief engineer and security chief. Although Addison knew that this was a ploy. The romulons were bating her in order to start a war and make the federation and star fleet look like the agresors. She would get her family back.she hoped that she would do it and stop a war.
" This is clearly a trap! They have been playing us. Moving us to this moment. I understand i am taking a risk. If you wish to object i will note it in the log. I am asking a lot. I am risking a lot. Any objection?"she asked .
There were none. The ship entered the doorway. They folowed the breadcrumbs. This would decide every thing.

Full Of Hell - Weeping Choir review
|Full Of Hell
|Weeping Choir
|Release date:
|May 2019
01. Burning Myrrh
02. Haunted Arches
03. Thundering Hammers
04. Rainbow Coil
05. Aria Of Jeweled Tears
06. Downward
07. Armory Of Obsidian Glass
08. Silmaril
09. Angels Gather Here
10. Ygramul The Many
11. Cellar Of Doors
Four albums and ten years in, Full Of Hell have proven time and time again that they're far from your "ordinary" grindcore band. And that's as good a factor as any that keeps me coming back to them.
At this point in their career it feels almost inaccurate to refer to Full Of Hell simply as grindcore. Sure, you could still probably loosely refer to them as such, but they've also become so much more. Weeping Choir, the latest effort from this riproaring foursome, sits at an interesting place in their discography, feeling almost self referential in the sense that now Full Of Hell appear to be taking primary influence not from any outside party, but rather from their own prior material. The album thus feels like something of a grand encapsulation of everything they've yet done: there's a bit of the riff heavy, powerviolence approach from their debut here, some of the industrial and harsh noise antics from Rudiments, and of course the ugly undershades of black and death metal from Trumpeting Ecstasy get thrown in as well for good measure.
Indeed, if there's one aspect of Weeping Choir that's most impressive, it's Full Of Hell's ability to blend so many disparate genre influences together and maintain a sense of the unexpected in just under 25 minutes of music. A first impression from the album's opening track may lead one to believe they're sitting comfortably in the black/death-infused, Trumpeting Ecstasy-esque grind sound, but soon enough a midtempo approach more reminiscent of the band's earlier material rears its head on a track like "Thundering Hammers." To keep things from becoming too predictable, noise-heavy tracks such as "Rainbow Coil" and "Angels Gather Here" may pop up as well. Further still, another curveball enters the picture in the form of the almost drone doomy "Army Of Obsidian Glass," featuring guest vocals from the highly talented Lingua Ignota.
Perhaps more than ever, Weeping Choir demonstrates that Full Of Hell are a band not content to sit in any one area for too long a time, both between their albums as well as within each individual album. Consistently determined to challenge themselves, here they use their own material as a reference point, transitioning seamlessly through the various aspects of their musical personality while maintaining a brooding, unrelenting aura throughout. Becoming increasingly unusual and unhinged as they press onward, Weeping Choir arguably represents a peak in Full Of Hell's sonic experimenting, and raises the bar of anticipation high for where they may go from here.
Like filthy, punishing jamz? Then hop to it.

Solving the Colorado River Basin's Math Problem: Adapting to Change
November/December 2011
Balancing water supply and demand has never been a simple equation when it comes to the Colorado River. Serving as the "lifeline of the Southwest," the Colorado River provides water to 35 million people and more than 4 million acres of farmland in a region encompassing some 246,000 square miles. The 1922 Colorado River Compact that divided the water among the seven Western states was straightforward in its allocation formula, apportioning 7.5 million acre-feet to each basin. But in the 89 years since the Compact was signed, a subsequent treaty to provide water to the Republic of Mexico, Indian water rights settlements, and operational changes for the environment have all challenged notions of how much water is reliably available to "develop" for urban growth and agricultural uses.
As the decades passed, annual runoff data as well as information about ancient droughts gleaned from tree ring records began to complicate the seemingly straightforward question: how much water is available from the Colorado River? The river's long-term average annual flow at Lee Ferry is now considered to be 14.7 million acre-feet; at one time, average annual flow was considered to be 16 million acre-feet. The tremendous disparity between high and low flows and the severity of the drought that began in 2000 further complicates the answer. And that gap is expected to increase because of climate change (see page 9).
"This math problem was recognized in the '60s. We did some things about it. We built a system. We knew the value of storage and that's how it's been able to be sustainable up to date, so the question, really, is what about the future," said Terry Fulp, acting regional director of the Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) Lower Colorado Region. Fulp has been the lead federal researcher of the Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study. "We're trying to assess the future water supplies that might be coming toward us on this Basin as well as assessing future demands. … And maybe most importantly, start looking at and developing ideas about what options and strategies we should consider in order to ensure [the system's] sustainability."
The Colorado River Basin has a rich history of conflict over issues related to water supply and demand – witness the Supreme Court decision included in the Law of the River (see page 8) and the ongoing litigation over California's Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA). But compacts and agreements are other major components of the Law of the River and over the past 10 to 15 years several hard-fought agreements among water agencies, the Colorado River states, the federal government, Mexico and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have been completed. These compromises feature a common thread – adapting to change and solving the Colorado River's math problem.
"I think we've seen an extraordinary amount of adaptation over the last 15 years," said Bob Snow, attorney-advisor at the Office of the Solicitor in the Department of the Interior. Speaking at the Water Education Foundation's September 2011 Colorado River Symposium in Santa Fe, Snow noted that there are valid criticisms about the rate of change, amount of progress and inclusivity of all Basin interests, but said "at a fundamental basis, I think we've seen an amazing amount of consensus-based negotiation."
Snow said he would group the adaptations into four important areas: operational agreements designed to firm up water allocations and store water; Indian water rights settlements; environmental/fish recovery plans in the Upper and Lower basins; and an emerging era of innovation and adaptation in the United States' cooperative relationship with Mexico.
"Twenty-five years ago if you had a group of Colorado River people sitting in a room, 99 percent of them would have said that the things that Bob Snow just listed couldn't be done," said former Reclamation Commissioner Bob Johnson, who helped develop the Lower Basin's surplus and shortage criteria. "I think that's a real clear indication that in fact change does occur when it has to – events occur and we react to those events."
Four years ago the Colorado River Basin was facing the eighth year of the worst eight drought years in more than a century of record-keeping. That same year then-Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne signed the 2007 federal Record of Decision (ROD) for Colorado River Interim Guidelines for Lower Basin Shortages and the Coordinated Operations for Lake Powell and Lake Mead, establishing rules for when a shortage would be declared in the Lower Basin and criteria managing the two reservoirs. The seven Colorado River Basin states, in turn, inked agreements designed to help meet new water demands while protecting water rights. Reservoir operating decisions under the Guidelines are to remain in effect through 2026.
"There isn't any question that the Seven Basin States Agreement avoided some very serious conflict at the time," said Don Ostler, executive director of the Upper Colorado River Commission. "The key to the agreement was that it needed to provide some tangible physical benefits to both the Upper Basin and the Lower Basin and I think that was the tenet on which everyone invested in and went into the agreement. It's important to understand that everyone gave something in the agreement."
Mother Nature gave Colorado River Basin stakeholders a respite in the most recent water year (Oct. 1, 2010 to Sept. 30, 2011) as near-record snowpack generated more than 16.7 million acre-feet of Colorado River runoff flowing into Lake Powell. As a result, Powell released additional water to Lake Mead – causing the latter to rise by 30 feet in a single year. It was the most significant so-called "equalization" release under the 2007 agreement. Mead's resulting higher reservoir elevation (1125 as of Nov. 30) has delayed fears of an eminent shortage declaration in the Lower Basin. In late 2010 there was concern a shortage could be declared as early as 2012. Today, the earliest projected shortage would not occur until 2016 – with only a 1 percent chance at that. Still, key agency representatives say it is imperative that the states stay at the table to address any concerns.
"We as seven states are joined at the hip and we all have to move together. In the past we have shown success in reacting to issues in the Basin," said Jerry Zimmerman, former executive director of the Colorado River Board of California. "What I'm encouraging everyone to do now is get out ahead of the curve. We need to use the Basin Study to determine the [water] needs of each state within the Basin while allowing the Upper Basin states to develop their Compact allocations without hitting operational triggers. I believe we can avoid operational triggers if we're out in front. What we need to do is continue the cooperation that we've had in the past few years, look forward into the future, and let's do some real planning to address the needs of each of the states so we avoid the triggers."
The issues facing the Colorado River Basin are daunting when one considers water supply/use/demand, projected population growth, the needs of the environment and climate change. The past decade has seen unprecedented efforts to find a way to work with the federal government, the Republic of Mexico and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to find a way to live within the realities of the river's math.
This issue of Western Water explores the historic nature of some of the key agreements in recent years, future challenges, and what leading state representatives identify as potential "worst-case scenarios." Much of the content for this issue of Western Water came from the in-depth panel discussions at the Symposium. The Foundation will publish the full proceedings of the Symposium in 2012.

Public TV Documentary on the Klamath
I just got back from some long days of finishing a public television documentary on the water controversies in the Klamath River Basin, a stunning area between California and Oregon. We at the Water Education Foundation have been covering the issues related to federal water allocations there for farms, fisheries and tribes since the late 1990s.
You may remember that in 2001 the area stakeholders made national news when the federal government made major cuts in water for irrigation deliveries instead releasing the water for fishery flows to benefit endangered native suckers and coho salmon. The cutoff affected about 85 percent of Klamath Project acreage. Farmers formed a "bucket brigade" and illegally passed buckets of water to an irrigation canal to protest the water cutoff. The following year, the Secretary of the Interior reduced the minimum flows required in the Klamath River. A major fish-die off caused by disease killed tens of thousands of migrating salmon in the Lower Klamath River. Finger pointing was happening on all sides as the two events incorporated feelings of fish vs. farmers and tribes vs. farmers.
Now 10 years later and after hundreds of stakeholder meetings, two agreements have been signed by most of the major interest groups. The film documents the journey of the stakeholders who agreed to the agreements and the stakeholders who did not sign the agreements, and explains the contents of those agreements.
It was 14 degrees at the Klamath River when program Host Frances Fisher, the well-known and talented movie actress, stepped in front of the camera to film her "stand ups" for the one-hour public television documentary. Fortunately the sun was out and the film looks great and Frances – who is very interested in these issues – did a wonderful job. With Frances for two days of hectic filming in the Basin in December were Emmy award-winning public TV producer Stephanie Locher, videographer John Davis and crew, myself and Foundation Tour Director Rebecca Scott.
Look for the program this Spring on your local public television station. And to learn more about the Klamath issues, contact the Foundation for our definitive poster map of the area and our detailed Layperson's Guide to the Klamath River.

Water Worries?
It was the snow survey that almost wasn't – there wasn't much snow to survey. On Jan. 3, Frank Gehrke, the chief snow surveyor for the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), found a small, 4-inch-deep patch of snow off Highway 50 near Echo Summit. After measuring its water content – a mere 0.14 inch – Gehrke told the San Francisco Chronicle that "it was the lowest January measurement ever."
Overall, the manual and electronic readings recorded the snowpack's statewide water content at 19 percent of the Jan. 3 average, DWR said in a press release. Despite this, DWR water managers said they were "cautiously optimistic" about this year's water supply, in part because of carryover storage.
But the potential for drought remains a concern for California and many other parts of the Southwest as a dry December became a dry January. Based on rainfall and soil moisture, the National Drought Mitigation Center has determined that Northern California is experiencing "moderate drought" conditions. The early January U.S. Drought Monitor classified most of Arizona as "abnormally dry" with some parts of the state considered to be in "extreme drought." Parts of Nevada, Oregon and Colorado are showing moderate drought conditions. In Colorado, only some of the ski slopes at the world-renowned Vail resort were open as of early January. "For the first time in 30 years, a lack of snow has not allowed us to pen the back bowls in Vail as of Jan. 6," Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz told the Colorado Independent.
The dry winter is being blamed, in part, on the weather phenomenon known as La Niña, which features cooler than normal sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean at the equator. La Niña often features drier than normal conditions in the Southwest in late summer through the subsequent winter as storms are driven north of California. Yet the wetter-than-average 2011 water year (the water year runs from Sept. 30 until Oct. 1) occurred during a La Niña. The difference? A negative arctic oscillation that pushed cold storms into Northern California despite the La Niña. "Last year, it was a superhighway of storms down the spine of the Sierra, and we couldn't shovel fast enough," Bill Patzert, a climatologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, told The Sacramento Bee. "But this year, essentially, the fence is up … and the jet stream has really stayed out of California."
Punxsutawney Phil does not live in California, but even if he did, he wouldn't be ready to predict drought just yet. February and March are typically the wettest months of the year.

Pharmacy Practice is the study and development of the professional role of the pharmacist in all areas of their activity, from hospitals and community pharmacies to the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Pharmacy focuses on the role of the pharmacist in patient care, the optimization of the use of medicines and the promotion of health, wellness and disease prevention in the general population. Clinical pharmacists work closely as a team with the other front line healthcare professionals including clinicians and nurse practitioners.
Pharmacy Practiceresearch at Aston examines how pharmacists can better use medicines and pharmaceutical services to improve patient care. Working within both the community and hospital sectors, pharmacy practice research at Aston investigates how patients access pharmacy healthcare services and how best these services can be developed to enhance further pharmaceutical patient care. Research undertaken within this area includes that examining and developing national pharmacy educational policy, research mapping medication adherence patterns among inner-city populations, and activity quantifying the healthcare benefits of front-line pharmaceutical care and public health services. Specific projects have included the Aston Medication Adherence Study (AMAS) and the Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) Study.
Research Interests: pharmacy education and policy, the role of the pharmacist in primary and secondary care.

These are some steps you can take to possibly avoid a service visit. They are in no particular order.
- Check if the thermostat is on. If it takes batteries, try changing them.
- Check if there are any breakers off. If there are try resetting them. (Only try this once)
- Have you replaced the filter lately? Check the filter. If it is very dirty, replace the filter, then turn the AC/Furnace off (wait 1 minute) and then back on again.
- If your AC/Furnace is in a basement, there may be a "Kill Switch" at the top of the basement stairs. They sometimes have a red cover plate on them, but they look just like a light switch. Make sure it is on.
- If you have a newer gas furnace, check the white PVC vent pipes outside. They could be blocked with snow or other debris.

Hold on to your Brita: Potomac is nation's "most endangered" river
Never underestimate the power of filtered water. In a recent report released by environmental watchdog organization American Rivers, the Potomac River is named number 1 on the list of America's most endangered rivers of 2012. Five million residents rely on the Potomac for drinking water, and this designation is an attempt to push Congress to ensure that the river does not become too unsafe for public health.
According to American Rivers, the Potomac suffers from urban and agricultural pollution. The report says that the Potomac will eventually become unsafe for drinking water, marine life, and any sort of recreation. Urban development is one of the primary causes of this pollution.
The report demands that Congress stop rolling back regulations on the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These organizations work to restore and protect bodies of water under the threat of severe pollution. The Clean Water Act, passed in 1972, is an environmental legislation geared to protecting fresh water, and American Rivers seeks to push Congress to end any bills or regulations hampering this Act.
Ed Merrifield, the Potomac Riverkeeper, said to the Washington Post that after the passage of the Clean Water Act, the quality of the river's water went up but not drastically enough. "For years, we've been reading about the intersex in the fish, up to 80 percent in the places they've tested for it," Merrifield said to the Post. "Yet there hasn't been much of any action on this in Congress, and it's very sad because all our drinking water comes from here. The best and safest drinking water comes from healthy rivers and streams."
This is not the first time an environmental group has attacked the Potomac. Last November, the Potomac Conservancy released the annual State of the Nation's River report and gave the Potomac a grade D in terms of pollution levels.
The Standell's song "Dirty Water", a tribute to the infamously dirty Boston's Charles River, might need to be rewritten for the District of Columbia. 'Cause Congress just loves that dirty water.

Interim leadership put off
May 22, 2003
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Creation of an interim government for occupied Iraq will have to wait until midsummer, the American civilian administrator said Wednesday.
L. Paul Bremer's comments came barely three weeks after the Americans set a timetable of early June for a new government.
"We're talking now like sometime in July to get a national conference put together," Bremer, head of the U.S.-led Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance, told reporters while attending the opening of an Iraqi jail. "I don't think it will be in June."
Pressed further, Bremer replied: "Mid-July."
U.S. officials' comments about the government had grown hazier in recent days, with Bremer saying the job would be difficult without first restoring security, getting basic services back on line and paying people who have gone weeks with no salaries.
Those problems have taken a front seat in the 10 days since Bremer took over as the top American civilian in Iraq.

The new delay fueled skepticism many Iraqis already feel about U.S. intentions.
"Bremer's statement seems one in a series of untrue promises aimed to keep the situation as it is," said Hassan al-Jbouri, an Oil Ministry employee. "They don't want to see a government that would sooner or later demand that the U.S. occupier leave."
"Why this postponement?" said Yadullah Jani Ulfat, a member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. "This procrastination just means they're trying to form a government of parties that are in complete line with their own policies."

BEAVER BANK: There's an excitable nervousness around several local Taekwon-Do athletes these days.
Jade Cameron who calls Beaver Bank home; Jean-Luc Melanson, 16, of Beaver Bank; Lower Sackville product Sydnee Pearce, who has been to the worlds before; and Liam Forysthe, a Halifax native who is the world TKD champion in his class, are representing Nova Scotia and Team Canada at the ITF Taekwon-Do World Championship in Dublin, Ireland next month. Evan MacNeil of Halifax is also going. All five are trained by Master David Hiltz at Lower Sackville-based Hiltz Taekwon-Do.
"I think it's very exciting," said Cameron, after an August afternoon training session at Hiltz. "I think it's a nice opportunity and a good experience to be able to go."
A fundraising auction will be held to help offset costs for the five to go. That is scheduled for Brewsters on the Bedford Highway on Sept. 9. Viewing is at 5 p.m. and the auction at 6 p.m.
Cameron said it means her hard work through the past nine years has paid off. She got into Taekwon-Do so she knew how to defend herself in case she came across trouble.
"I think I will be really nervous before I go up for my match," she said.
Melanson said it will be an experience he won't forget.
"It'll be a higher level of competition that I've never experienced before," he said. "It's a big accomplishment for me as I've been training for 10 years for this opportunity."
Pearce will be representing Canada for a second time.
"I know it's going to be great to travel with my teammates and meet other people from around the world," said Pearce.
She said she has explained to the others that the nervousness is a part of it, but for them to soak it all in and enjoy the moment.
"I keep telling them even though it will be extremely nerve-wrecking to go up there, they'll live and we'll be proud of them," she said, "but it's a moment they won't ever forget."
Forsythe, who has won once before at the worlds, agreed.
"I'm telling them to really appreciate where you are," he said. "I know I was so hyped the first time I competed, I got in the ring and then it was over.
"You have to appreciate your among the best."

Financial Wellness: Financial disaster plans also importantTwice the same billboard caught my eye as I drove west on Highway 10. " 'Won't happen to us' is not an emergency plan," the Ad Council message read.
By: Sherri Richards, INFORUM
Twice the same billboard caught my eye as I drove west on Highway 10. " 'Won't happen to us' is not an emergency plan," the Ad Council message read.
It was referring to making plans in case of a natural disaster, to protect your family's personal safety.
It's an important message for your personal finances, too.
Too often we fail to plan for unexpected, and even inevitable, expenses. Not doing so can put a real strain your financial wellness.
Conversely, some prudent financial steps can minimize harm, just like having a disaster plan in case of a fire or tornado.
First, it's important to have an emergency fund, ideally six to 12 months of living expenses stashed somewhere safe, like a money market account.
This is money you shouldn't touch unless one of those things we all hope and pray "won't happen to us" – job loss, illness, a debilitating accident – happens.
It may take a while to build your emergency fund, but patience and perseverance pays off. And while it may be difficult to just let that money sit there, it's a far better alternative than going into debt if disaster strikes.
People will often talk about other sorts of "emergencies" – the car breaks down, an appliance gives out, the dog visits the vet.
In reality, these aren't emergencies.
Cars break down. Appliances give out. Pets get sick or need shots. It's not a matter of if but when and how much.
By stashing money every month for these sorts of expenses (as well as other nonmonthly costs, like gifts and insurance premiums), it's far less stressful when you eventually face that bill.
Add up how much you spend on average for these sorts of irregular expenses, and divide by 12 to figure how much to save monthly.
We have multiple online money market accounts that we're able to name. By automatically transferring cash into them each month, we have funds available and designated for car repairs and vet bills. Those outlays don't feel like emergencies because we don't have to raid our emergency fund.
Flexible spending accounts through your employer – include day care and health – can be another way to set aside money for inevitable expenses, and reduce your tax bill.
Insurance is also an important component of your financial emergency plan.
Considering our own mortality is a difficult topic, just like thinking about that fire or tornado. But what would happen financially if you died? Is someone else dependent on your income? If so, you need to explore life insurance.
In most cases, I'm not a fan of whole-life policies, which build cash value but also feature high fees. I'd recommend purchasing a less expensive level term policy.
How much insurance is a trickier question, which I'll explore next week.
Hopefully it will all be a moot exercise – that "it" won't happen. But hope also isn't a plan.

Selling a home is more than just presenting what you have; it's showcasing a lifestyle that other people will desire. Sometimes people need a little direction to see the true potential of what's on offer and a pool is no exception.
Having a backyard pool should be a fantastic drawcard, however, if you haven't been keeping it up to date chances are it will come across as a lot of work and an expense rather than a bonus. The way to win people over with your pool is for you to love it and make it a feature of your lifestyle. Doing that will naturally carry over when you sell.
If you are not selling your home and you are underusing your pool, this post will be just as beneficial to you for getting the most out of your summer in the backyard and have you loving your home and life.
1. Have deck space
Pool fencing can sometimes literally fence your pool in so there isn't enough space left to lounge. Find a way to make good use of the space you have while still being safe, remember a table close to a fence rail can mean an easy step over it for a little one. If you have an outdoor pool and no decking consider making a raised deck around the pool to create an in-ground look and allow space to enjoy the poolside.
2. Create a lounge area
Bright and inviting sun loungers have been the tried and true outdoor go to furniture for decades. New materials, including cane, bamboo and rattan weaving are more outdoor friendly and stylish than ever, or you can opt for UV protected plastic to ensure your recliner beds last longer. New styles also include rocker rails so you get a soothing rock back and forth while you bask.
3. Use an ice bucket
It doesn't matter what your beverage is, wine, beer, soft drink, juice or water, having an ice bucket by your side is a stylish and lavish look no one can refuse. Plastic, steel, crystal or painted, the style options are endless and will be sure to create a fashionable mood.
4. Provide shade
The best time to use the pool is when the weather is at its hottest. It's also the worst time to be outdoors. Provide shade with umbrellas for your seating to keep you and all your gear cool and out of the suns glare. Having shade will mean you and others will stay by the poolside longer. Umbrellas come in many styles, fabrics and sizes so you can be sure to find something that works for your pool area.
5. Use soft beach towels
Fluffy beach towels are great for the poolside. They are bigger than standard towels and more absorbent and most importantly come in a wide range of colours and prints, meaning you can find the right look to best showcase your home. Have them rolled tightly on each sun lounger or draped softly over the chair ends.
6. Install working extras
A small addition can make a big impact. It might be underwater or decking lights, a water feature like a fountain or waterfall wall or a bubble stream can add ambience and set your home apart from others.
7. Get a pool cleaning robot
Any way to easily make your pool as clean as possible is going to work in your favour. Crystal clear water is the most enticing way to encourage people to take a dip. It also means the hard work is off the table for people viewing your home. If the pool sparkles, they'll assume it will stay that way, any amount of grime or green and they will be clocking up the hours or dollars that need to go into maintaining it.

Ksenia is Luda and Valerie's youngest. She gets her almond eyes, freckles and mischief from her father, her boundless energy from her mother and Aunt Tanya and her leadership and determination from her Aunt Tanya. She is 7 years old, 16 years younger than her brother, and will start Grade 1 this fall. (Kindergarten is part of daycare not the education system but she can read and write and do math at what we would consider a grade one level. Highschool finishes at Grade 11).
Ksenia lives to draw, dance and sing. She was lead dancer at the Kindergarten Graduation Exercises, which was the day before we arrived but we watched the video. A couple years ago she said to her grandpa "If you are alive in spring, will you buy me a bicycle?" He was and he did. She disappears in the morning and appears only to eat and go to bed.
