These are wonderful cartoons, Donna. I will definitely share them with my folks. My mom is a breast cancer survivor of 2 years now. My dad is in the midst of chemo and radiation for inoperable colon cancer. Thinking he was going to be the exception, his reaction has come hard and fast. As soon as he's done I'll share them with him.
What an honest site. I'm so glad to have found it.
Thank you Lori Hope! This book couldn't have been published soon enough. It's a great read, and a great reference guide for all of us dealing with cancer. "Help Me Live," is a tool box brimming with words of compassion wisdom and straight forward advice. I wish I had this guide to help me in the past. However, I'm grateful that this heartfelt book will serve me well, now and in the future.
Just stumbled on these cartoons by accident and they made me giggle. Then I started looking around the site and realised I was in a very special place indeed. I'm getting over my breast cancer treatment and starting to get my head around all the stuff that's happened to me in the last 18 months so will pour myself a beer and spend the evening here. Thanks Donna, sending love & thoughts x
hi! i'm from shanghai, China. you have created great cartoons. can you tell me what is the meaning of the sentences in the sixth cartoon?
they are:
Bernard has web-surfed, visualized and talk-sessioned.
Thank you for the honesty here… I cringe every time someone says "keep a positive attitude.. that is the key" …. everyone I have known with cancer HAD that positive attitude and sadly they did not survive.. everyone is a fighter but sometimes they are outmatched.

Update: As new details have come to light, read our updated post Apparently Portal 2 Does not Have Full Move Support.
Original post follows.
Upcoming first-person teleportation puzzler Portal 2 will receive complete PlayStation Move support, according to Eurogamer.
Valve's Chet Faliszek described the feature as an apology for the lack of Left 4 Dead on PlayStation 3, as well as the relatively lower quality of the company's Orange Box when translated to PlayStation 3.
We made a mistake back then and gave the Orange Box console versions to an external team. They did a good job, but didn't quite achieve the same quality level that we have at Valve. Now everything happens in-house, we created a special console department just for that. So the move to the PlayStation 3 comes late - we're sorry for that. As a small compensation we have PS3-exclusive cloud saving, a free code for PC and complete PlayStation Move support.
The PS3 version of Portal 2 will also support cross-platform play with PC owners, so it makes sense for console gamers to receive PlayStation Move support.

Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Southlake has previously acknowledged receiving tainted medicine from the New England facility but says it immediately pulled the drugs and notified patients.
Other North Texas hospitals that are included on the FDA's new list as receiving other medicine from the compounding center include:
- Childrens Medical Center in Dallas. A spokesman says it treated 34 patients with amino acids not linked to any illness, and notified all of them as a precaution.
- Cook Childrens Medical Center in Fort Worth. The hospital said Wednesday that a cleanser, Glutaraldehyde, that is used to disinfect medical equipment is the only product it received from the New England Compounding Center. The hospital said it did not contact patients about the cleanser but sent the chemical back to the New England Compounding Center.
- Medical City in Dallas. The hospital immediately pulled all drugs it bought from the New England Compounding Center and is following up with patients, spokeswoman Chris Hawes said.
- Medical Center of Arlington. The hospital said it immediately pulled the medicine in question as soon as it learned of the recall but a "small number" of patients had already received doses. "While these medications have not currently been confirmed as causing infections and authorities believe the risk is very low, we are in the process of notifying these patients out of an abundance of caution," the hospital said in a statement.
- UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "UTSW had a small inventory of the topical cream, which was pulled as soon as the FDA advisory came out," the hospital said in a statement.
- Huguley Memorial Medical Center in Burleson. Pharmacy Director James Hall said it got 100 doses of a drug used to help digestion, which were all used on patients. Hall said there is no reason to believe anything was wrong with the doses but is contacting patients. "At this point, we're communicating in writing to any patient who might have received the product we bought from the NECC. ... We've quarantined a supply from a partner company Ameridose," he said. "We're waiting on steps to return it or dispose of it."
- Plaza Medical Center in Fort Worth. The hospital said none of the drugs it got from the New England Compounding Center are among those said to be contaminated. The hospital said it sent letters to patients to let them know where the drug they took came from and to tell them they are fine. Plaza Medical Center said the drugs are locked up and will not be used.

"We know the network is slow and there are probably a thousand problems in the application."
I heard this from a customer recently. The problem was, it was assumption and hearsay – they had no tooling, no analysis, and had in no way quantified those statements. Even worse, parts if the application environment were considered "out of scope" for the analysis project, because "obviously those parts *should* work." Let me tell you a story about assumptions.
In December of 2008, I did a project in a hardware vendor's showcase lab with a major national rental car chain. The assembled team had been working for more than a month to make the rental pricing application perform, with no success. It was an ideal setting – access to multi-million dollar top-of-the-line hardware systems, a complete clean room environment. I was called in because the performance was miserable – the application could barely handle 5 users and transactions were running for minutes at a time.
In less than a week, we were done. There were two very obvious glaring issues where assumptions were made.
1) The customer's application was running on IBM WebSphere application server but no one had sanity checked that the installation was even functional – they just kept hitting it with traffic and assumed that since it responded, that meant it was "working." A quick reinstall to fix what was obviously a failed installation – because "obviously" that wouldn't fail, right? Checking that assumption made all the difference in the world.
2) Once the application was actually running, we observed a lot of exceptions being thrown related to a static value lookup. These had been observed previously, but no one thought they were important. Just by caching that static value and ending the stream of exceptions, we cut several seconds off every request – a major performance improvement.
Assume nothing you can't or haven't measured.

Dotted duckweed
Landoltia punctata looks very similar to the native giant duckweed, Spirodela polyrhiza. It is frequently found growing in rivers, ponds, lakes, and sloughs nearly throughout the state. Dotted duckweed is native to the Old World but escaped from cultivation. It blooms all year (Wunderlin, 2003).
The name "dotted duckweed" is confusing when applied to this plant because there are distinct red dots on many individuals of the native giant duckweed, Spirodela polyrhiza, but there are none on this species. (The term "dotted" apparently refers to the barely visible ridge of "dots" on the leaf surface of Landoltia punctata.)Description
Landoltia punctata is a small, non-native, floating plant which can grow into dense masses in stagnant water bodies. Landoltia punctata usually has two leaves attached together. The leaves are shoe-shaped, which makes it resemble a large Lemna species. Landoltia punctata has 2-5 roots descending from each leaf.
This plant is easily confused with the native plant, giant duckweed, Spirodela polyrhiza. Landoltia duckweed is smaller than Spirodela polyrhiza, is more shoe-shaped, does not have a red dot on top, usually has only up to 4 roots, and sometimes has a red margin on the underneath of the leaves. The native giant duckweed is larger, has rounder leaves, some have a red dot on the top, has up to 9 and more roots, and is dark red underneath the leaves.Impacts

Give is built to work in as many possible environments as possible. Nevertheless, in order to have the best experience and the best Support from us, there are some minimum requirements.
While it's possible you could run Give with versions older than the minimums we list below, please understand that you will have the most reliable experience with Give if you at least meet or exceed these requirements. Further, we cannot provide Priority Support to environments that do not meet these minimums.
WordPress Version
Minimum WordPress Version: 4.8.5
Give is built to be as backward compatible as possible. Just like WordPress itself, we believe in backward compatibility. Nevertheless, we believe you'll have the best experience and get the best Support if you are on version 4.8.5 or higher.
Also, keep in mind that the third decimal of a WordPress release is always considered a security release; so whatever version you are on, make sure it is the latest secure release of that major version.
jQuery Version
Minimum jQuery Version: the version that comes with WordPress
Some themes and plugins remove the WordPress default version of jQuery and load up (aka "enqueue") their own version of jQuery. This is a very bad practice which can lead to security vulnerabilities or general dysfunction on your WordPress website. Give requires that you are using only the version of jQuery that is loaded by WordPress and no other.
We understand that you may not know whether your site is enqueueing a custom version of jQuery or not. Just be aware that if you request Support for Give, our first advice to you may be how to remove that custom version.
Server Environment
Recommended Minimum PHP Version: 5.6
PHP is the backbone of WordPress. WordPress itself now recommends version 7.0 to all WordPress users, and we do as well. But the minimum we currently support is version 5.6.
If you find that your host does not support PHP 5.6 or higher, we suggest seriously considering moving hosts. To underscore this point, see the "Supported Versions" chart on the PHP website, showing the security patches for PHP 5.6 will stop as of December 2017. That means that all older versions of PHP no longer even get security updates. Running older versions of PHP is a security risk, and especially in the context of donors giving to your organization and having their giving history saved there, you are obligated to protect that data from being exposed to breaches.
Minimum cURL version: 7.40
In order to transmit sensitive donor information from your site to your payment gateway, your server must support TLS, "Transport Layer Security". That technology is a combination of cURL, HTTPS, and other technologies. TLS is effectively a modern replacement for SSL.
This article describes the difference between SSL and TLS very well. To quote:
For that reason, we require a minimum cURL version of 7.40. This is often an overlooked technology with older web hosts. You might find that it is severely outdated on your server. We've seen versions of cURL with some customers that are more than 7 years old. Again, if your host is unable or unwilling to update your environment to cURL 7.40 or higher we highly recommend finding a new host.
Review the cURL Version History to see how old your version is.
Minimum TLS version: 1.2
Because SSL certificates are required for all online transactions, and because Give is dependent on this technology, we require all Give users to have a valid SSL certificate that passes TLS 1.2 tests. Without this, we cannot guarantee that your donations will be safe or successful.
Minimum Give Versions
Occasionally we'll release a new Add-on version that requires a minimum Give Core version. This is often because the Add-on depends on new code built into that new Core version. Generally speaking, if you update an Add-on without updating Give Core what will happen is that you'll see an admin notification telling you that the updated Add-on couldn't be activated because Give Core is outdated. In cases like that, all you need to do is update Give to the latest version and you're all set.

Ask the experts: Fructose
Q. I'm trying to lose weight, and I read online that fructose — like high-fructose corn syrup — is bad, but not in fruits! So why is it not bad in fruits? Isn't fructose a sugar and sugar is bad for losing weight?
A. HFG nutritionist Claire Turnbull answers:
Fructose is a sugar naturally found in fruit. For good health it's recommended we have two servings of fruit each day along with three-plus servings of vegetables, with a serving being roughly a handful. Including fruit is totally fine when you're trying to lose weight. It's best to eat whole fruit rather than extracted juice as extracted fruit juice is a concentrated source of sugar and lacks the fibre that whole fruit has.
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a concentrated source of fructose used extensively in the US. It is the sweetener used in most of their fizzy drinks and many everyday foods. Because of the large amounts of HFCS used there it's been suggested as part of the reason why so many Americans are overweight. Here in New Zealand you will hardly find any foods using HFCS, unless they are imported from countries such as the US.
To lose weight, the main things to focus on are managing the amount you eat overall and making sure the foods you do eat are as packed with good nutrition as possible. Reducing the amount of added sugar that you have can certainly be helpful on your journey to better health but here in New Zealand HFCS is not a concern.
Here are my tips to reduce added sugar from your diet, relevant to the way we eat:
- Make your own porridge or bircher muesli for breakfast without added sugar.
- Choose a breakfast cereal without too much added sugar: 15g or less sugar per 100g is a good guide.
- Drink water and low-fat milk rather than cordials or sweetened drinks.
- Don't add extra sugar to hot drinks like tea and coffee.
- Check the amount of sugar in your food and drinks: 4 grams = 1 teaspoon. You may be surprised how much is in some foods. Where possible make your own food or see if you can find a lower-sugar option.

New Visitor Center Opens at 9/11 Site in Pennsylvania
The events that unfolded in the skies above a rural field in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, are told through exhibits at the new Flight 93 National Memorial Visitor Center. VOA's Kane Farabaugh — who reported from the site on 9/11 — revisits the scene of the tragedy, which has been transformed into a national monument.
France Opens Doors to Migrants
As Europe continues to bicker over sheltering tens of thousands of refugees fleeing conflict, public opinion in France has swung in favor of the Iraqis and Syrians who are beginning to arrive in the country. France has pledged to take in more than 24,000 refugees over the next two years. Lisa Bryant reports from the Paris suburb of Cergy-Pontoise, where a recreation center has opened its doors to the first arrivals from Germany.
Migrant Flow Across Serbian-Hungary Border Shows Little Sign of Slowing
As European countries continue debating how to deal with the influx of refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and other countries, the situation on the Serbia-Hungary border has been reaching a critical point – with one refugee camp accepting 5,000 migrants within a 24-hour period. VOA's Rade Rankovic spoke with a number of migrants as they prepared to cross into Hungary from Serbia. Robert Raffaele narrates his report.
Funding Hampers Lebanon's Cluster Bomb Clearance Effort
Nearly a decade after the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war and Lebanon's civil war, Lebanese continue to suffer the consequences of cluster bomblets and mines left over from those conflicts. Although efforts continue to make the land safe once again, funding has taken a hit – and now casualties are starting to steadily rise. John Owens reports for VOA from southern Lebanon.
Philippines Woos Arms Manufacturers
The Philippines ongoing territorial tensions with China have led it to try to modernize its military which for years had one of the smallest budgets in Asia. The country is spending more on more advanced ships and planes, but it is also trying to entice arms manufacturers to set up shop locally. Jason Strother reports from Bataan.
San Diego Zoo Giant Panda Turns 24
According to the best numbers available there are just over 2,000 giant pandas left in the world. That makes each one special. Washington D.C. recently celebrated the birth of twin pandas, though one died just a few days after being born. Meanwhile, across the country, another panda is celebrating not a new birth, but a long, long life. VOA's Julia Taboh reports.
Cheap Pollution Monitor Aims to Help World's Cities
Outdoor air pollution kills 3.7 million people per year around the world, according to the World Health Organization. The key to controlling the problem is knowing where it comes from. But that information is all but absent in much of the developing world. So the United Nations Environment Program is launching a low-cost tool to help officials keep watch over the air in their cities. VOA's Steve Baragona has more from Nairobi, Kenya.
Europe Calls for Compulsory Resettlement of 160,000 Refugees
European Commission Chief Jean-Claude Juncker has called for the resettlement of 160,000 refugees across the 28 members of the European Union – and a permanent asylum mechanism to cope with future crises. Henry Ridgwell reports from London on the latest attempt by Brussels to deal with the huge influx of migrants and refugees.
Navigation, 3-D Printing in Sensing Technology Lead to New Apps
3-D printing, high-speed navigation, and a magic mirror are some of the technologies to come from new computer chips with advanced spatial sensing. VOA's Mike O'Sullivan reports from San Francisco, where technology start-ups that have partnered with chip-maker Intel showed off their products.
Russian Orthodox Americans Support Church Tradition Not Politics
A group of Russian Orthodox Americans was in Moscow this past week to learn traditional Orthodox singing from Russian experts. The organizers say they are motivated by the need to strengthen the friendship between the Russian and American peoples in this time of political tensions. But, as VOA's Daniel Schearf reports from Moscow, the Russian Orthodox Church is also connected to the Kremlin's anti-western agenda.
Pressure Builds at Serbia Refugee Camp as More Migrants Expected
U.N. officials expect 7,000 migrants to cross the border from Macedonia into Serbia, continuing the massive flow of mostly Middle Eastern refugees into Europe. VOA Europe Correspondent Luis Ramirez reports from a makeshift refugee camp in northern Serbia, near the border with Hungary.
Philadelphia Prison Inmates Make Chair for Pope Francis
Pope Francis has been visiting prisons during his travels, and his trip later this month to the United States — which has one of the highest rates of incarceration in the world — is no exception. He'll visit a Philadelphia prison complex where inmates are making a chair for him. VOA religion correspondent Jerome Socolovsky reports.
Public Outcry Over Refugee Horrors Gives Some Syrian Orphans Hope
Syrian war orphans fleeing their country are usually deeply traumatized. But as a stream of refugees makes its way through Europe, some orphans say the death of one child could mean a better life for others. VOA's Heather Murdock reports from Gaziantep, Turkey.
Hungarian Police Struggle to Control Refugee Influx at Serbian Border
The influx of refugees from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan to Europe is showing no signs of slowing. Aid workers and Hungarian officials say at least another 2,000 people crossed through a gap in the fence between Serbia and Hungary. VOA Europe correspondent Luis Ramirez reports from the scene at the border.
Addiction in Myanmar's Opium-Growing Region
Nestled in the hills of the world's second largest opium producing region, Taunggyi, capital of Myanmar's Shan State, is also home to an alarming number of drug addicts. With opium cheap and plentiful, the U.N. estimates that 40 per cent of people aged between 18 and 20 there are drug users. Daniel de Carteret reports for VOA from Taunggyi.

Poe uses The Oval Portrait to make a comment on life, particularly on things that he may have missed out on, for one reason or another. In particular, love, beauty, and seeing the truth about life. The narrator is the vehicle he uses for his contemplation, although there are other characters that embody his emotions.
The narrator, who is obviously badly wounded, even perhaps dying, has come to a chateau, where he has a chance to reflect on things while he is recuperating. The two characters at the beginning of the story, Mrs Radcliffe, and a valet named Pedro, are a mother and father type caring figure respectively. Poe himself never really had parents, and so this is his way of living out his dreams.
The candelabra, which the narrator uses to firstly read about the paintings on the wall, is the object which sheds true light on the portrait.
This is like a reflection where he realizes what is going on in his life. He sees in the young woman in the portrait everything he is lacking in his life, beauty, love, freedom in life. He likens himself to the painter, who though he honours and displays the beauty in his paintings, he is unable to feel, and touch and experience the fullness of life.
Poe is trying to say that it is only when we reach the end of our lives that we can truly sit back and appreciate the beauty in life. Often times it can take a new light to see the truth lurking in the shadows, perhaps in denial by ourself. Poe regrets not taking the time to experience the fullness of life, either getting caught up in trying to live out his life, that he forgets to stop and smell the roses.
The Masque of the Red Death is a comment on the inevitability of death, and the progression of life. In a time where death is everywhere in the world, Prince Prospero believes that he is above and beyond death, that in locking himself away in a castle, he can escape it. The party-goers in the story likewise try to shun death by revelling in life, and trying to ignore the ticking death clock.
The seven apartments represent different stages in life, the earlier apartments are in bright and lively colours, while the last two, scarlet and black, represent the old age, and dying. In the final apartment, there is a clock, which is forever ticking, counting down the divisions of time until death comes. The sound of the clock carries throughout the apartments and over and around the party-goers and yet they try to ignore it with their revelry.
Significantly, when the red masked man appears, being death himself, he appears from the early apartments, meaning that death can come at any time, from anywhere. The prince is furious, trying to prevent the inevitable by saying that it isn't the time for death. All of those at the party are in their prime, and there is no place for death. When he tries to kill the masked man, it is insubstantial. In this, Poe is saying that death is untouchable, a certainty, everyone tries to fight it, but in the end all will die when it is their time.
When Poe was a young man, he lost members of his family, and was in the army, this was his way of dealing with death, but at the same time grieving for his losses. Poe is telling us to enjoy life while we can, but to realize that at the end of our lives, whenever it comes, we will all have to answer to the death clock. Enjoy it while you can, he says, but don't try to fight the inevitable.

Video footage collected using drifting baited cameras (pelagic BRUVS) during the National Geographic Society's Pristine Seas expedition to Niue and Beveridge Reef, South Pacific Ocean, in September-October 2016.
Niue is located in the South Pacific between Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. This island nation offers incredible opportunities to observe marine life. Along the island's coastline there is a wide variety of geological features, including exposed coral formations, cliffs and caves.
Beveridge Reef lies 120 nautical miles (approx. 222 km) southeast from Niue. This submerged atoll is often visible during low tide and shelters a notable array of marine biodiversity including grey reef sharks, silky sharks, marlins, moray eels and wrasses.
For many years, Niueans have employed management practices to maintain the marine ecosystem in pristine condition and promote long-term sustainability.

Papa says everyone has a story that deserves to be told.
Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers.
Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew.
Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out.
For some, they're nothing more than the vestiges left behind—a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree.
My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth.
Warning: This book contains explicit sexual content, and violent scenes that some readers may find disturbing. (less)

Juniper Unraveling #1
Juniper Unraveling
Dark Sci Fi Romance, Dystopian, Futuristic, Post-Apocalyptic
First Person, female-POV, dual-time (past and present)
This is a standalone that becomes the prequel of a series in the same world built.
Addictiveness: 5/5 This was a thriller. From the first page until the end I couldn't put my kindle down. A very long book, that I couldn't let go. As addictive as chocolate!!!
Character: hero 5/5, heroine 5/5, secondary characters 5/5, growth 5/5, real 5/5 Complex characters with several layers and depth. They were all easy to love and connect, even though sometimes hard to understand. (I will try to avoid all spoilers)
Dani was 14 years old when her family was killed and she went to Calico disguised as a boy, because they didn't take girls/women.
Women are hunted from all angles-killed by Legion, sold by marauders, or dragged by Ragers to their nests, where they attempt to mate them.
by Wren
At Calico, she got Dr. Falkenrath's protection and became his personal assistant. He kept her secret but others found out she was a girl and used that. She learned how to survive in that unfair world of pain, segregation and death. Dani was a warrior, a fighter, a kickass heroine.
"Indifference to death isn't going to help you hear. Learn to be indifferent to pain, and you'll become invincible. Defiant."
"Inhuman. No one is invincible."
by Dr. Falkenrath and Dani
Wren was the daughter of a doctor and lived inside the walls in what considered a luxurious life for this dystopian world.
Inside the walls, where I live, water is merely a perk of living in Szolen Farms. That's what we call our little community, made up of about two thousand, give or take. It's named after the founder, ironically, the son of what was once a billionaire oil tycoon before The Dredge hit. His father, apparently, disowned him for investing in the self-sustaining project.
Now it's an oasis to the hellish world beyond the wall.
by Wren
Wren was 18 years old when she found out what existed beyond the walls. She met Six and fell in love. But love in a world like that was almost a myth, a wishful thinking, a passing thought. Wren was a naive little girl, but life taught her a lesson. Several years later, she became a kickass heroine and after her father's death, became a lonely woman in a savage world. She left "the safety"of the walls searching for a better place, maybe even an Utopia.
"Safety is an illusion, remember?"
"Yes, you are right. But survival is a reality."
By Wren and her Papa
She found a harsh, cruel world, but she also found hope in the form of love.
Because I'm sick. And so is he. We're the perfect, twisted match, destined for pain like a sad tragedy.
by Wren
Six was a worthy hero. A boy, mute, an experiment of Calico. He has only known pain, hate, rage, death. Not even in his dreams could he make up an angel like Wren. When she found him, she became his life. He became a loyal protector, even though he didn't really know how to control "his monster". Life had not been fair to him, in a world like theirs there was nothing as equality or fairness.
Rhys was a scary, crazy hero. In his insane, mad way, he was fighting power and getting revenge for the peasant.Better yet, Rhys was giving a second chance, a role for women. Yes, he was cruel, violent, really a byproduct of the time, but he had a weakness, that may have been his strength. He met Wren and found a different purpose, or a proper purpose for his fight.
But to me, you've always been more than that. The air when I couldn't breathe. My voice when I couldn't speak. When I couldn't feel anything anymore, I felt you. Goddamn, Wren, you were my heart, pumping life into a body that was mostly dead. You were everything to me. You are everything.
by Rhys
This world was so rich that there were several important secondary characters. Dr Falkenrath, Papa, Rhys sister-in-law are just some examples.
Villains.. antagonists… in a world as dark, as painfully and as deadly as this, everyone could be a friend or a foe, it really depends of the moment, the necessity. The were some clear villains and a couple of good antagonists.
All characters were complex and very well written!!!
Cover: art 5/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, buy 5/5 I'm obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. This one is gorgeous and perfect for the book. It is easy to see that this art was specifically made for this book. This is a very important scene of the book. Dani, under the Juniper tree. I love the title and the subtitle is awesome and gives another piece of this story. The colors and font chosen also worked really well. I would definitely buy this book by its cover without needing to read the blurb!!!
Freshness: 5/5 This book is UNIQUE! One-of-a-kind. Everything here is creative, original and it feels fresh. As fresh as cold water in the middle of the desert!!!
Plot: believable 5/5, conflict 5/5, dialogue 5/5, ending 5/5, enjoyment 5/5, opening 5/5, pace 5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 5/5, twists 5/5 Thrilling opening for an amazing ending. Believable plot, even though crazy for a dystopian world, well written dialogues and interesting subplots. Very long novel, but the pace was perfect, this is a different world and they had lot to tell to create this perfect setting. This was filled with twists and turns that exploded with the greatest conflict. Highest level of enjoyment!
I loved this story. The author gave us something dark, gritty, unimaginable, but it all worked and felt real. This was everyone's nightmare, at the same time, where are we heading in this world that everybody easily hates, but has a hard time loving; everyone is ready to shame and throw shade, but doesn't know how to thank and compliment.
I adored how in the midst of darkness, pain, hunger, death, we could find hope and love. I, as a reader, like a good HEA. I may enjoy the dark stories, lately they've been my favorites, but at the end of the day I love to believe that everything is gonna be alright, paraphrasing Bob Marley.
Romance: believable 5/5, chemistry 5/5, description 5/5, development 5/5, steam 5/5 This wasn't beautiful or really romantic. It was filled with grunts, bruises and tough love, so not really pretty, but very poetic. To find beauty and excitement in midst of chaos and anarchy you have to be strong and powerful. This couple was. Their chemistry was undeniable and even in the center of things they found each other and ways to held on to the good. The smut was hot and dangerous, the type that I love. lol Indestructible love!!!
Writing Style: 5/5 I'm in awe!!! The author was so creative, conceiving the perfect world, inventing characters with depth and humanity in midst of a barbaric world filled with heartless people. The romance was fabricated beautifully and forged out of angst and hope. The smut was hot and sexy. The writing was cohesive, clean and without loopholes. Writing of a wordsmith!!!
I've missed the male POV. Yeah, a few years ago, most books were written in their person with only one-POV. I have definitely become spoiled, but I considered myself a character, reader, I like connecting and feeling along with characters. Seeing inside their heads only amplify these cathartic feelings.
I don't really know what I was expecting, but I can easily say that this book was better than anything I had fabricated on my mind.
I've loved, I've cried, I've raged and I've found harmony while reading this. I felt despair and I've became hopeful. I was able to envision what ifs and why's.
This was a thriller, in a way, a psychological thriller!

I was fourteen when I was sold to the men in black uniforms. Too young to understand I served a purpose beyond that of the other girls they'd taken.
For the greater good.
Now, after four years in Calico, I've seen more death and suffering than during my days of surviving out in the Deadlands against the threat of Ragers and famine. I didn't think this world could get any bleaker. Didn't think it could take any more from me than it already had.
Not until I finally learned my purpose.
That same day, I walked the dark halls in the bowels of this hell, where the suffering is in silence, and ghosts of the dead whisper through the walls. A place where nightmares are real. A place where I met my Champion—the most revered Alpha in S-Block—locked away in his dark cell.
For the greater good.
He's their weapon, their only line of defense against the mistakes of the past: the mutations that could wipe out all of what's left of us. Me, I'm his whipping girl. His reward for good behavior. And his punishment for acts of defiance.

Dark Sci Fi Romance, Dystopian, Futuristic, Post-Apocalyptic
First Person, female-POV
This is book #2 of the Juniper Unraveling series, happening at the same time, in the same setting of the first book. This story ends in a huge cliffhanger.
Addictiveness: 5/5 Like the first book, this is a thriller that grabbed me from the first page and it kept me on the edge of my seat until the end. It was not an easy read, due to it being dark, filled with angst and cruelty. As addictive as chocolate!!!
Character: hero 5/5, heroine 5/5, secondary characters 5/5, growth 5/5, real 5/5 Multidimensional characters with depth and amazing backstories. They were easy to love, connect and understand.
Calithea was another wonderful character. Ms. Lake really knows how to write kickass, empowering heroines. Like Dani, Cali was taken to Calico when she was 14 years old. Differently than what happened to Dani, by the time Cali was taken they are already keeping women at Calico that served several different purposes. Cali has been reserved to mate with a Champion, the powerful man-weapon that was strong enough to scare Ragers, fight marauders and anything else needed. Because of her important role, she was kept well, with privileges, untouched for her Champion. When she turned 18 years old, she was ready to be given to her Champion as a gift, but if he didn't behave, she would also be a punishment. Nothing she has learned during her four years of tests, exams and preparation prepared her for reality.
It was a process becoming acquainted with her Champion, it took time, courage and will for her to do it, but after a while she found in him her salvation. In a place where all you know is pain, hunger, darkness, fear, to find… to find attraction, likeness, love… is beyond anything she could ever dream.
At the same time meeting Valdys was an unexpected gift, she saved him from becoming a monster. Calithea's humanity, warmth, strength gave him an anchor in reality and something to look forward to. Cali was extraordinary. She never gave up and always tried her best. She was able to keep having empathy for others, even after meeting the worst of humanity. She not only wanted a better future for herself, but for everybody that have been forced into that shameful life.
Valdys was a great hero. After everything he went through to be able to be sweet, loving and caring was exceptional. His protective nature was part of him, even before experiments and becoming a monster for Calico. He was very strong and able to keep his rationality even though Calico tried to turn him into an irrational animal. He was a good friend to Titus and after getting Cali, he was the best boyfriend possible.
Champions like Valdys, were there to fight, protect and procreate. They were built into the perfect machine and also they carry the hope of the scientists at Calico.
So many important secondary characters here. I will name the two most important, Titus and Cadmus there other two Champions. They probably will get a book of their own, because the also deserve to tell their stories. Besides them there were others like Roys, Kenny, Neela and Cali's sister.
Villains.. antagonists… like in the first book, it is hard to say who is friend or who is foe in this dark world of pain, cruelty and "save yourself, because no one else will". But they are mostly the same villains from the first book, with a few different antagonists.
In a really screw up way, specially if you had read the first book and know their backstory, all characters were easy to love, connect and understand!!!
Cover: art 5/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, buy 5/5 I'm obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. I love the art for this series we can see they have been taught out specifically for these stories. They are usually an important moment or scene from the book. We can see Cali on the cover, under the lake, with a sad, sort of painful look on her face. It totally gives the tone of the book. I also love the title, the subtitle and color/font used. I would definitely buy this book by its cover without needing to read the blurb!!!
Freshness: 5/5 This book is UNIQUE! Everything in this book feels original and fresh. The way the author explored pain, disease and the making of a family was uncommon. As fresh as cold water in the middle of the desert!!!
Plot: believable 5/5, conflict 5/5, dialogue 5/5, ending 3/5, enjoyment 5/5, opening 5/5, pace 5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 3/5, twists 5/5 Electrifying opening with a big cliffhanger at the end. Believable plot, even though a bit convoluted, well written dialogues and sometimes confusing subplots. Long novel with perfect pace and a very well conceived setting. Several plot twists with a major conflict. High level of enjoyment!
This book was shorter than the first, but the plot was a bit more complicated. I mean, the story of the Champions and how they got them a mate was confusing at times. Also, even though I know is usually necessary, I don't have to like cliffhangers lol.
Romance: believable 5/5, chemistry 5/5, description 5/5, development 5/5, steam 3/5 The romance was hot and sweet at the same time. Their chemistry was undeniable and they had been made for each other. They even had a bit of competition. The smut was HOT HOT HOT and the love was easy to feel. Enduring Love!!!
Writing Style: 4.5/5 The writing once again was fascinating with marvelous characters, stunning plot, wonderful romance and awesome smut. There are several things that need to be answered still and a huge cliffhanger. Crafty writing!!!!
I will say again, I wish I had at least a couple of chapters with the male-POV, I would to know him as well as I know Calithea.
Also I think the subplots and the whole 3 champions, 1 mate thing was a bit confusing. I'm certain it all will make sense after the next book and I cannot wait to read it.
This series is an ONE-OF-A-KIND experience. It is different and original and it felt like nothing I have read before.
I love all the characters and I hate all the villains lol. I cry for and with them, I feel like punching some people and I hurt for them. I'm at times an emotional wreck while reading it and others I'm a very happy cat. 🙂
Can't wait for the next book!!!

Pigeon matchmaking – part 1Categories: Tags:
For quite a while now I've had the feeling that Georgie would like to have a pigeon mate.
As many of you know Georgie has distorted and limited vision because of the scarring on her eyes which is why she was hand-raised and is therefore very tame. Georgie is bonded to myself, however, she does react to Elmo's cooing and often approaches him when he's calling out lovingly to Richard (never to Georgie! Elmo cannot stand Georgie and is completely imprinted to humans and loves my husband, Richard).
Georgie responds to my voice and will dance and coo when I call her name or sing to her. She'll also often present herself for mating when I talk to her. In this way, I know that Georgie thinks I'm her mate and hears what she wants when I talk to her (whatever I'm saying to her is lost in translation). When I see Georgie responding to Elmo's pigeon talk, I know that she understands him and mistakingly thinks that Elmo is talking to her when he's in fact cooing to Richard.
So I've been wanting to find Georgie a pigeon mate to give her the full pigeon interaction that I cannot give her (e.g. preening, proper pigeon cooing). However, previous experience has taught me that other pigeons don't know quite how to react to seeing her eyes and her slightly non-pigeon behaviour (Georgie's movements and reactions to other pigeons is different because of her limited vision). Both Dora and Minnie tried to peck Georgie's eyes at first.
At one point I was worried that male pigeons wouldn't be attracted to Georgie because of her eyes. I needed to know how other male pigeons besides Elmo (who doesn't think he's a pigeon at all anyway) would react to Georgie, so we took her once to Dora's aviary to see what would happen. Most of the male pigeons came down to dance and coo to her. Whether it was to say they liked her or to show her who's boss, I don't really know. One male was quite insistent and pushy (he kept bumping his chest against her), and in the end Georgie told him to back off with a swift peck!
So what am I getting at here? Well, a few weeks ago a feral pigeon came to my work who I thought might just fit the bill for Georgie. He is disabled (dislocated/broken wing), tolerant of people (he had been living with the couple who found him for about 8 months), and is desperate for a mate. When I heard that this pigeon, called Button by his carers, needed a mate and a new home I thought he would be a perfect match!!
I brought Button home last weekend and couldn't wait to introduce him to Georgie, however, I knew that I had to take things slowly and not force the situation. Richard and I put up a small room divider to keep Elmo from attacking Button (which is Elmo's first reaction to any pigeon intruder) and we let Button get used to his surroundings.
Here's the handsome boy stepping out of the travel cage to explore:
And here's Button on top of his travel cage cooing his head off:
A lot happened that weekend, however, it's getting late now so I will write about it another day.

(Adds portfolio manager, updates prices)
* TSX up 40.57 points, or 0.3 percent, to 13,671.24
* Seven of the TSX's 10 main groups rise
TORONTO, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose on Wednesday, encouraged by the prospect of further stimulus out of Asia as Canada's central bank held rates steady.
China's Finance Ministry said it would strengthen fiscal policy, boost infrastructure spending and speed up tax reform, helping lift Chinese shares for a second day.
"What happened in China was looked on as somewhat bullish," said John Kinsey, a portfolio manager at Caldwell Securities.
"Hopefully we're going to have some semblance of order in the market now, and gradually it will work its way higher."
Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, said his country would cut corporate taxes to stimulate growth, which also aided sentiment.
At 11:23 a.m. ET (1523 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 40.57 points, or 0.3 percent, to 13,671.24. Of the index's 10 main groups, seven were in positive territory.
Four of the five most influential movers on the index were financial stocks, with Royal Bank of Canada rising 1.0 percent to C$73.15, and Manulife Financial advancing 1.7 percent to C$20.75. The overall group climbed 0.6 percent.
"We look on them as a safe haven and an income producer," Kinsey said on Canada's banks.
On the downside, gold miners were among the heaviest weights, with Goldcorp off 2.7 percent to C$17.06, and Barrick Gold Corp declining 1.7 percent to C$8.45.
The overall materials group retreated 0.6 percent.
Gold futures fell 1.0 percent to $1,109.3 an ounce.
Kinsey said U.S. stocks are more attractive than domestic holdings despite the currency costs as the U.S. recovery is more advanced. (Editing by James Dalgleish)

Israel and Hamas
I'd like to respond to Randy Haspel's article alleging "a Bush-like incursion" (Viewpoint, January 8th issue), wherein he likens the Israeli invasion of Gaza to the Bush/Rumsfeld attack on Iraq for its lack of humanity. Haspel is one of those liberal Americans who subscribes to the belief that if one criticizes one's country's political policies, including the waging of war, one is somehow absolved of responsibility.
The fact is, if you vote and pay taxes, if you hold an American passport or Social Security number, you are entirely responsible for the actions of your political representatives. Bush's war is Haspel's war, as it is mine and every American citizen's. Americans don't like this reasoning; they feel coerced into taking responsibility for actions they did not choose. This is a fallacy of the philosophy called "American individualism," a failure of American economic politics, and one of the reasons America's humanity will not likely improve in the near future.
Manny Karkowsky
When Hamas won election in 2006, its leaders accepted a two-state solution based on the pre-war 1967 borders, but Israel rejected this outright. History shows that Israel will not accept any sovereign Palestinian state, no matter how much the Palestinian leadership concedes to Israel. Any Palestinian leadership is unacceptable to the Israelis, so Hamas is not the issue.
Israel should abide by international law and accept the two-state solution and abandon its exclusive ideology and militarism. Unfortunately, history also shows that this will not happen as long as the United States continues to provide military and political support to Israel. And by refusing to censure Israel for not following the United Nations' call for a ceasefire, President-elect Obama shows that there are some things that aren't going to change, no matter what we believe in.
Richard DeLisi
The wonderful thing about a viewpoint is that it needs no grounding in fact, and Randy Haspel's weak comparison of Israeli politicians to Bush and Rumsfeld proves the point. It is unfortunate for readers that he knows so little about the war in Gaza or Israeli politics.
Haspel seems to think the Gaza assault was initiated by Ehud Olmert, but any reading of Israeli political commentators and newspapers would indicate it was the decision of Ehud Barak, the dovish defense minister, and Tzipi Livni, the foreign minister.
Haspel refers to the "disastrous" Lebanon invasion, which may be his opinion, but the results are that Hezbollah no longer fires rockets at Israeli cities, no longer tries to kidnap Israeli soldiers, and is staying out of the Gaza war. The Israeli public is disappointed that Olmert was incompetent in his planning and execution of a complete strategy but not that he took action against violence to defend their citizens.
Barak and Livini learned from Olmert's Lebanon mistakes, just as U.S. defense secretary Robert Gates has learned from Rumsfeld's stupidity, and that is why the Gaza war was not half-planned and is not going to be half-finished. Neither the Lebanon war nor the Gaza war are the result of short-sighted politicians as Iraq is, but rather leadership who recognized that their citizens could absorb only so much abuse without a response.

Downtown Downturn?
I am still trying to assess if the article "Downtown Downturn" (Jan. 15th issue) is parody or simply swill. After presenting Jeff Sanford's bird's-eye glimpse of some of the great things happening downtown, the reporter then consulted well-known world economist Paul Ryburn for his expert view. Downturn, what downturn?
The downtown precinct reportedly has the lowest crime rate of any in Shelby County. Bass Pro will soon fire the Pyramid back up. The U of M Law School is coming. The new R&D and medical openings at St. Jude, Le Bonheur, and UT will bring even more new residents to downtown. Beale Street is doing well, and so are our magnificent downtown events. Traffic will soon return to Main Street, and even Prince Mongo's long-vacant property is well on the way to new use.
The "economic crisis" will not affect the demographics of downtown to any measurable degree. It doesn't take a Rhodes Scholar to recognize that a bad economy drops real estate prices equally across the board. Very few advance their living conditions during tough times.

'The Six Marys' set for Mountrath
One woman show 'The Six Marys' will be performed in Mountrath Golf Club this Friday January 17, and promises to be a fun night.
Written and presented by Athlone woman Jean Farrell, it is described as a comical yet poignant look at life, from childhood in the 1950s, to today, through the eyes of six girlfriends.
The six Marys were young Irish Catholic schoolgirls, taught by the nuns to imitate Holy Mary's virtues of meekness, humbleness and purity.
These fun loving friends journey through the decades, from teenage pursuits of their Mr Wonderful, to the reality of married life, teenage children and growing waistlines.
The light-hearted play delivers sharp and funny observations, interspersed with well-known hit songs sung by Catherine Gallagher.
The play has been seen and enjoyed by 3,000 people to date, to delighted reviews such as "haven't laughed so much in years, loved it".
Mountrath golfer Mary McCarthy saw the show in Portarlington Golf Club and brought it to her club.
The show will be followed by songs performed by members of the Mountrath club, and 'tees off' at 8pm.
All welcome, tickets €10.

|[jira] Created: (HARMONY-5618) [drlvm][port][signals] Fix for native stack unwinding
|Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:04:24 GMT
[drlvm][port][signals] Fix for native stack unwinding ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HARMONY-5618 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5618 Project: Harmony Issue Type: Bug Components: DRLVM Reporter: Ilya Berezhniuk Priority: Minor Attachments: H-5618.patch There were problems with native stack unwinding using EBP/RBP frame pointer - sometimes it points to incorrect return address. Therefore I've disabled EBP/RBP unwinding in the new crash handler implementation committed recently. Unfortunately, it appeared that unwinding with only 2nd heuristic approach (return addresses lookup in the stack) works not good also. This problems do not appear only on Windows/debug where local stack is erased in debug prolog and does not contain return addresses from previous call branches. I experimented a bit, and found a way to solve this problem. Suggested patch re-enables EBP/RBP unwinding with additional validation to filter out wrong EBP/RBP values which do not correspond to the current frame. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Detectives are taking seriously an alleged sighting of the girl who was seen with a couple at the De Pauze restaurant in Tongeren, near the Dutch border, last weekend. Yesterday they issued an identikit picture of the man in his 40s who was seen with her.
The latest alleged sighting comes three months after the four-year-old was abducted from a holiday apartment in the Algarve, Portugal. A police spokeswoman added that results from the DNA test were expected next week.
Police also have part of the number plate of the Belgian-registered Volvo estate car that the couple, described by witnesses as behaving strangely, drove away in. The car was later reported to have been seen in the Netherlands.
A spokeswoman said the sighting had come from a child therapist. "She was 100% sure it was Madeleine and is a trusted witness. She works with children and noticed something unusual. She said the woman spoke English and the man was Dutch. She said they were acting strangely."
The therapist told restaurant waitress Jolien Houbrech that the couple with the girl did not seem to be acting like a mother and father. "She had noticed that the behaviour was not that of normal parents," Ms Houbrech said. "After she said that, I said maybe she should call it in to the police."
Ms Houbrech said the child had long blonde hair and appeared to be around five or six. Madeleine was a few days away from her fourth birthday when she disappeared from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in May.
It is not the first alleged sighting of Madeleine, with earlier reports coming from Morocco, Malta and Greece.
Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa, of the Portuguese police, said he had been notified almost immediately after the sighting, though he could not say whether it would provide a breakthrough in an otherwise slow-moving investigation. "We will have to wait and see but, as we have done since day one, we take every lead seriously," he said.
Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate, yesterday marked the third month of her disappearance by travelling to the Spanish city of Huelva, just across the border from the Algarve.
"Gerry and I want to remind people that our lovely little girl, Madeleine, is still missing. Today will mark three months since she was cruelly snatched from her bed," Mrs McCann said.
"We do not know where she is, or where she has been taken, but would urge tourists and residents in Portugal and Spain to keep looking for Madeleine. All we want is to be reunited with Madeleine and to be a happy family once again."

We would like to invite you to a discussion on the future for health and care services, and to help us prioritise changes and improvements that need to be made to ensure our populations continue to have the best possible care.
Now that the NHS Long Term Plan has been published (www.longtermplan.nhs.uk), it is the right time for us to talk with our communities about what the areas are that we need to focus on to ensure services remain sustainable and right for patients.
These discussions will build on what we have already heard through our "Shaping Health and Care" events across the area, and help us think about how we use the available money for health and care in the best possible way: "We can do anything, but not everything".
Our discussions will be focused on the FUTURE of health and care:
Facing up to our challenges
Understanding Need
Transforming services
Unwarranted variation – ensuring this does not happen
Resources and how we use them most effectively
Equality of access and care for our diverse population
We have a number of opportunities to join our discussions in person, and we will also be producing an online survey, in order to hear from as many people as we can.
To find out more, please email: email@example.com
The venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users and has a hearing loop.
If you require any special arrangements for the event, please get in touch with Helen Blewitt: firstname.lastname@example.com

Around noon today Sawyer mentioned it was International Surf Day and we needed to surf–NO MATTER WHAT!
The conditions on the Gulf coast were non-existent and even on the east coast they didn't seem much better. But, Sawyer wanted to surf and I was happy to get out of town where laundry piles and yard work would a non-issue. After a quick phone call to Aaron and the dog sitter we were on our way. Aaron was able to pack up and leave the business to Kevin, the dog sitter was happy to come over and I was able to find a hotel right on the water.
We didn't arrive until about 6:00pm and I was initially very unhappy about our hotel. The place didn't have many rooms with two beds so we had to get two rooms—one for Nova and I and one for Aaron and Sawyer. To me, the place felt old and small. And, I felt weird about not being together in the same room. I think I was just grumpy. After a bit of complaining, I was able to ease into it. Our rooms opened up to the pool with a small patio and beautiful grass right outside. Even though the rooms didn't connect, we had this great outside space to share. We had great big beautiful beds and we were right on the beach. It really wasn't that big of a deal.
We all went down to the beach to surf. Everyone took a board out (except Nova). I played in the whitewater and tried to get my confidence up. I am scared of waves and it takes me a lot of time to get comfortable out there. I had a great time though…the water was cool–much cooler than on our coast and the waves were fun.
Sawyer was out as soon as we got there–riding a short board because we just found a big ding in his other board. He did great and had no problems catching waves. I love his motivated soul.
After surf, we headed to Longdoggers for dinner. They had tons of options, nice outside seating and surf videos playing on the big screen. Sawyer and Aaron were in heaven. After we headed to Ron Jon's (giant surf shop open 24 hours) to get some surf swag and to check out the boards. Sawyer is desperate for a new board. Nova loved shopping there too—lots of cute surfy girl clothes.
We finally got back to the room around 10:00 pm and sat by the pool with our legs dangling in the water for a bit. The stars were so bright and the air was so wonderfully cool and warm at the same time.
Nova and I crashed in our room (with the bigger bed) and Sawyer and Aaron crashed in theirs (with the better bathroom).
It was perfect and nothing to be grumpy about. Very thankful that all stars aligned so that we could make this happen this weekend.

Public Risk Management Awareness Day
Port of Corpus Christi Authority
Standing together to recognize and bring awareness of Public Risk Management, for the inaugural Public Risk Management Awareness Day, March 1, 2019. Whether it is a city, county, special district, school district, port authority or political subdivision of the state, public entities by their very nature have a unique set of inherent risks. Public risk management professionals implement risk management frameworks to reduce, transfer, accept or mitigate those risks, which allows for fiscal stability, decreased liability, reduced reputation risk and improved safety for the public entity.
Underground Utility Damage Prevention Program
City of Corpus Christi
The City of Corpus Christi Utility Department which includes the Water, Wastewater, and Storm Water Divisions is actively repairing, replacing and expanding its water and sanitary lines at extraordinary levels. On a typical Utilities Department workday, there are 12 to 15 excavation jobs which include emergency and non-emergency projects. In 2017 there were 51 underground utility line hits, averaging one hit per week caused by the City's Utility Department employees operating earth moving equipment. To reduce the number and severity of underground utility hits, in 2018 the Risk Management Division rolled out an Underground Utilities Damage Prevention Program. The program exemplifies Risk Management's commitment to employee safety and protecting the City's underground utilities. The program is a comprehensive educational and field inspection program designed for all Utility Department employees from upper management to field techs.
Fire Department Workers' Compensation & Cancer Resource Guidebook
City of San Antonio
The City of San Antonio Fire Department Cancer Resource Guidebook and Workers' Compensation Resource Guidebook are tools used for communicating the City's Workers' Compensation Program and commitment to their firefighters. They are intended to briefly summarize Workers' Compensation benefits and guide firefighters to understanding their responsibilities when injured on the job or becoming ill. It also provides general information that may assist with questions and concerns with their workers' compensation claims.
Safety, Security & Emergency Response Program
City of San Marcos
Cities, counties and school districts across the nation have seen an unfortunate rise in violent retaliation from former and current employees, citizens and students. The City of San Marcos is taking a proactive step to help prepare their employees in case an emergency situation arises. About two years ago, a Security Team was formed to begin addressing all safety and security measures City-wide. While the Security Team works diligently to ensure safety and security measures are addressed throughout the City, the Risk Management division plays a role in creating and communicating a safe and efficient response plan. The City of San Marcos' proactive approach with a robust safety, security and emergency response program allows for its employees to have a little more peace of mind while at work.
Workers' Compensation and Healthcare Annual Summits
Katy ISD
In 2016, the Katy ISD Risk Management Department embarked upon the creation of an annual meeting to bring school district professionals together having responsibility and oversight of Workers' Compensation and Employee Health Plan Administration. The foundation of the annual meeting was centered upon open and frank conversation, collaboration, and innovation on risk management topics facing school districts. Promoting open conversation has led to many school districts learning of new processes and procedures resulting in cost savings and improved efficiencies. Additionally, from these meetings collaboration has been fostered leading to significant buying groups for the betterment of the collective. Lastly, by sharing and learning a spirit of innovation among the group has grown over time.

With very great pleasure I acknowledge the receipt of your obliging favor; and my happiness in writing to you is increased by the immediate defeat of those disturbers of government called Highlanders and regulators who had embodied themselves to a great number, and were within 20 miles of Wilmington. It is inconceivable to imagine what joy this event has disfused through this Province; the importance of which is heightened by Clinton and Lord William Campbell's being now in Cape Fear, in sanguine expectation of being joined by the above defeated and routed fellows, and with a determined resolution of attacking the weakest part of America, the which I presume, they supposed North Carolina to be. But how amazingly mortified must they prove, in finding that this weak, poor, and insignificant Carolina, in less
You will rejoice with me in finding all the machinations of our Governor brought to nought. He has been most indefatigable in his endeavours to bring upon this province every species of calamity, by secretly spiriting up our internal foes, misrepresenting our weakness, and soliciting forces to destroy us, which, however, I hope will be entirely out of his power, as I think the province will and ought to call for hostages from the regulators and Highlanders, to be safely kept in some other province, beyond the possibility of a rescue, during the present commotions.
∗ ∗ ∗ It is an undoubted fact, that between 8 and 9000℔. of gun-powder is just brought into this colony from one of the French Islands, with a number of field-pieces, four and six pounders, some musquets &c. Several French gentlemen likewise came in the vessel, one of whom, shortly after their arrival, set out for Philadelphia.
