Not you, mind you. But some on Facebook. Let me explain. I started on this "social" network some time back to post stories and pictures, keep the public in touch as to my various professional goings-on and to utilize it as a makeshift website of sorts. For the vast majority of folks that I've "met," I have thoroughly enjoyed their "company." I'm used quotation marks perhaps too much but that does in fact explain that there are no actual human contacts being made. Facebook is a miniaturized, machine gun, spray paint medium where some negligibly literate sad sacks spew drivel on an abandoned cyber billboard. It's logorrhea to the extreme. Misfits and social wash-outs with no communication or grammatical skills pecking out Morse Code messages of mind-paralyzing unimportance.
Within this audio disquisition I lay out what I consider to be the most thorough explanation of a certain faction of Facebook users. And the key to understanding this phenomenon is that Facebook potentiates traits or predispositions on the part of some similar to how an allergen triggers sneezing. Perhaps it's the anonymity of the medium or the security it provides, the fact that actual confrontation is never a risk save a puerile snipe here or there inspires some of the most inhospitable, contumacious and truculent behavior that wouldn't be tolerated in any other medium or setting. Again, by just a few. I hope.
A psychiatrist friend of mine who wishes not to be mentioned by name, emailed me the following observations about some user-types. I will respect her requests for anonymity.
The patient. Puts way too much personal information on Facebook, partially to get advice, but mostly to generate sympathy and ego-boosting responses.
The expert. Posts with utmost certainty on subjects they are only partially educated about. Usually follows a philosophy that would fit on a bumper sticker.
The avatar. A cyber false flag operation. A character made up so that an individual might post ideas he or she would not want associated with their names, often dealing with sexuality, drugs, prejudicial observations, or idiosyncratic anger triggers.
Because most Americans are such lousy writers, because of our telegraphic speech, our Tweats and texts and thought minimalization, because of the very fact that for most folks, they've never had to write or compose a cogent thought EVER, they find that they are miserably devoid of the more rudimentary of communication skills. Short bursts of nonsense and written gibberish don't cut it.
The problem of many. Rampant Witzelsucht. Leave it to the Germans to come up with so many great words to denote and describe the most complicated of emotions.
Witzelsucht, from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht meaning addiction or yearning, is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by the patient's uncontrollable tendency to make puns, tell inappropriate jokes and pointless or irrelevant stories at inconvenient moments. The patient nevertheless finds these utterances intensely amusing. It is associated with small lesions of the orbitofrontal cortex.
Throw in malignant paronomasia and there you have it. Facebook provides an unfettered expression forum for the social Ed Gein. Once a "friendship" has been accepted the personality mutants can have their way with whoever crosses their path.
Facebook is a marvelous tool for social networking and promotion. Again, for 99% of its 500M participants, it's a marvelous medium. But for the socially disjointed, the psychically cloistered and the generically pissed-off and angry, it provides a medium that is so tantalizing their pathologies overtake rational thought. And the nightmare begins.

Oh, I'm addicted to texture products! It took me awhile to understand what gel mediums do, what texture mediums do, and how the different paint formulations behave….I guess now that I understand, I want to keep experimenting! If you'd like more information about this too, I can highly recommend Chris Cozen's videos on Artists Network TV, as well as her books. Also, Nancy Reyner has a terrific book called "Acrylic Revolution" that I believe Jill from Jill's Art Journal told me about. Jill, you nailed it; it's a wonderful book, with lots of techniques and great illustrations too! Chris and Nancy are both Golden working artists and educators, and they know their stuff.
This is another painting do-over. It was a texture experiment gone wrong on a 5″ x 5″ Ampersand Gessobord and so I needed even more texture to wipe the slate clean, so to speak. I spread a layer of Golden molding paste on the painting first. This product dries opaque, leaving no show through from the painting underneath. Next, I embedded a scrap of 1/2″ grid hardware cloth from Hub's wood shop into the painting, lifted it up, and then turned it and impressed it again. This gave me all of those great texture lines.
After it dried (several hours), I dripped some Dr. Ph Martin's Bombay India ink in, sprayed it with water, and moved the painting around, allowing the ink to follow those grid lines, highlighting them. Where the ink was a bit too strong or became soupy, I sopped it up (on paper towels I will save, thanks to Kerfe's great inspiring post yesterday), and wound up refining with some Golden fluid acrylic paints. I think I may have gone a bit too far with Quinacridone Burnt Orange, but I can always go back, add Titanium White, which is very opaque, and have another go with the colors. Or I may leave it as is. What do you think?
Blick's Free Shipping offer for orders of $45 or more is extended through 11:59pm Pacific Time tomorrow, for anyone interested. Purchases from these links support my site. I hope we are all having fun with our art supplies. For too long, I saved them and didn't want to run out. So I rarely used them. Boy, that is just not part of my vocabulary anymore. Art supplies are the jungle gym and the art world is a playground, and I am gonna enjoy it. How about you? I can smell the weekend! Happy Thursday! Peace.

swanrād, ?.n: 'swan-road', a kenning for the sea.
Image: British Library, Harley MS 4751, Folio 41v
From The Medieval Bestiary website: 'The swan has a harmonious voice, with which it pours out a sweet song. In the Hyperborean regions swans are attracted by the sound of a zither or harp and sing along when one is played. The long neck of the swan makes its song more pleasant. The song it sings before it dies is the sweetest of all. Sailors consider the sighting of a swan to be auspicious.'

Win Nations Cup for us, Drogba begs Eagles
Even in defeat, Didier Tebily Yves Drogba was graceful. Despite swallowing the bitter pill of defeat that has dented his beautiful career - without a Nations Cup trophy, the Ivorian has sent a passionate plea to the Super Eagles
'Please, win the Nations Cup for us', he pleaded as he hugged Stephen Keshi and his former teammate Mikel Obi after the 2-1 defeat in the quarter final match at Rustenberg.
Drogba's army of super stars were tipped by all and sundry to win the match against a relatively young and inexperienced Super Eagles. The Eagles stepped up their game and were immaculate in their form, attack, defence and discipline. They stung Cote d'Ivoire and have made their critics to swallow their words.
'Your team was beautiful', Drogba told Keshi as he hugged him. 'If you beat us and don't win the trophy, it will be a slight to us. But if you win the trophy, it will be a thing of joy and justification that you are the best in the tournament', Drogba told Keshi who praised him for his maturity and high display of professionalism.
Ex-international, Peterside Idah who witnessed the emotional embrace and discussion said that he was touched by Drogba's professionalism.
'It was an emotional meeting and I was very proud of the Super Eagles. We should learn to appreciate our own.
Honestly, it is a shame that many Nigerians do not appreciate the Eagles. Here in South Africa, we are proud of Eagles and the whole of South Africa love and appreciate the Eagles.
The South Africans lost but they still love their Bafana Bafana', the former goalkeeper-turned analyst and Pastor said as many people hugged him and congratulated him.

The Alexandria City Council told the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) in the Old and Historic District to take another look at the signs on the new Starbuck's Café at the corner of King and Union streets.
The matter came before Council on Saturday as an appeal from residents of Old Town. They were objecting to the signs on the Starbuck's Café, which were approved by the BAR some months ago.
Oscar Fitzgerald explained BAR's position, saying, "We first approved these two signs last February. In September, when they were hung, they were hung incorrectly, but Starbuck's decided that they liked the way they looked and came back to us for permission to leave them the way they are. We granted that permission, and no one spoke at the BAR meetings at which this came up."
The signs are green and white and are hung at an angle. They are lighted by 60-watt bulbs and are made of a synthetic wood-like material. Wood was not used because of its susceptibility to the weather. "These types of materials are allowed throughout the Old and Historic District," Fitzgerald said.
Sarita Schotta was one of those appealing the BAR's decision. "These signs are too large, and the brackets that were used are too large," she said. "Compared to the brackets that have been used on signs around this building, they look like brackets on steroids. This sign is simply not in keeping with the historic character of this area or this building."
Vice Mayor Redella S. "Del" Pepper agreed. "I really don't like the signs," she said. "They just look too modern."
Councilwoman Joyce Woodson had another problem. "I don't have a problem with the sign," she said. "I just don't understand what criteria was used to make this decision or many of the decisions that the BAR makes. I have sat with staff and with representatives from the BAR and tried to understand the process, but I still don't get it."
Council decided to let BAR take another look at the signage and try to work something out with the residents and Starbuck's. Unless there is another appeal, Council will not discuss the matter further.

A bad mistake.
I made an awful bad mistake the other day. I put the birds out on the lawn to weather, this means to get them out of their night quarters, let them get some sun, fresh air, and to take a bath or a drink if they need it. It was a beautiful sunny day and on days like that I like to get them out early so they have all day to enjoy the weather, while obviously making sure they don't overheat. But this is Ireland and they spend far too many days indoors waiting for the rain to stop.
On this particular day I was glad to get them all out early as I had a busy enough day ahead of me doing other stuff, while making time to feed my birds and walk down the field to fly my Gyr falcon hybrid.
The food on this day was quail. It had been in the fridge for two days as I had miscalculated and took out too much in one go. The quail this day were the ex-layers; birds that had grown to full size and had past their prime egg-production stage and therefore not lay as many eggs as a younger bird. This type of quail carries more fat on its body than a normal six-week old or prime quail, but once these fat quail are not used too often they are perfect for feeding to hawks and falcons.
This is where I made the mistake; As the Gyr hybrid was the only bird I needed to fly that day, I got him flown early, fed him up with quail and gave all the others a full crop of quail too. I love my birds and I hate to see a hawk with too much of an appetite if there is no need for it.
And the sun continued to shine, and I got done what I needed to do. And come dark I put the hawks and falcons back into their night quarters.
The next day dawned bright and early again. I hate rain more than anything so I never complain when the sun shines down and temperature reaches the high twenties. I like it so much that at least once a year I spend too much time outdoors and my skin peels off me in lizard-like fashion.
All the birds were set out to weather again and all the baths were refilled with fresh cold water to ensure against over-heating, as obviously birds can't sweat like we can, so will jump down off their perch and wash in the water to cool down.
While putting out the birds I noticed that a little falcon; a peregrine x merlin hybrid still had food in its crop from the day before. This should have set alarm bells ringing straight away, but as he seemed in good form I continued on and set a little reminder in my head to keep an eye on him.
A few hours passed and I was getting on with the day when I noticed that he did not look as perky as he should have. He then hopped down off his perch and took a drink of fresh water. It is not at all unusual to see falcons drinking, even though they get most of the moisture they need directly from their food. But this, added to the fact that he still had food in his crop was a bad sign, so I walked over to take him up on the glove and that's when I noticed the smell. If I could have given myself a swift kick in the arse that is the moment I would have. I knew instantly what was wrong; he was suffering from what is known to falconers as sour-crop; the meat that was still in his crop had literally gone sour and as I put my face near him I could smell it.
I had a fair idea what to do; obviously the meat had to be removed and quickly. But by then some of it had passed down to its stomach and was already poisoning the bird. There are two ways to remove the offending meat; to push it back up the way it came or to surgically open the crop, which is just a bag, and physically remove it. But this then requires surgery and stitching back up when you know the crop is cleansed. This is a job for a vet, not your average cow and sheep country vet, but a specialised raptor vet, of which there are none in this country.
So I went with option one. As my daughter held the falcon wrapped in a towel, I proceeded to gently push the food back up and out its beak, as if it was vomiting.
I have smelled some bad smells in my time, from bad stomach-churning methane gas on a landfill site, month old exploding rotten goose eggs that exploded all over me, to the stench of a wild stoat that I caught with my hands emptying his musk gland in my direction (this might not sound bad but stoats are cousins of the infamous skunk and believe me this is not a smell that washes off easily). But a smell I will never forget for as long as I live was the stench of putrid meat coming out of that bird's crop, to say it stank to high heaven doesn't come close to a description.
As I massaged the warm rancid meat up and gently took it out with a tweezers, my stomach heaved and I dry retched, how I didn't throw up all over the bird and my daughter I will never know. How my daughter didn't vomit all over me will also remain a mystery. But we both felt so sorry for the bird and I felt guilty as hell that I had not noticed sooner that something was wrong.
After cleaning out what food was in there, I cropped-tubed a small amount of saline into the crop as my raptor veterinarian research said to do, and sat him back up on his indoor perch in the shade.
Two hours later the poor little guy was dead.
I reckon the quail I had fed, which was ex-layer and carried a high fat content was the reason. That and the few hours in the sunshine combined was a lethal mix. But the real culprit was me for not seeing that this could happen before it did. Fault lies squarely and firmly at my door as I was supposed to look after the little chap. I just hope it lodges in my memory for many years to come and hopefully divert any similar disaster in the future.
I have taken to feeding the birds later in the evening as the hot spell continues, so no bird has to sit out in the sun with food in its crop, and if I fly a bird early it goes into the shade for the rest of the day.
Some people say it is good to learn by your mistakes. But after making as many blunders as I have in my life, believe me when I say it is much better to learn from the mistakes of others.
Tommy Byrne.

I recently had Cataract Surgery on both of my eyes. Prior to the surgery I had been wearing glasses since I turned 40, which is 27 years ago. As soon as I had the first eye done, I noticed that everything was so much clearer and I couldn't wait to have the other one done. After my second eye was done and the healing had taken place, my vision was so clear that I didn't need my glasses anymore. All the colors and people's faces were so clear I couldn't believe it. I have to wear "cheaters" to read but that is not bad for a 67 year old! I am so happy I had the surgery and I am so thankful to Dr. LeBlanc and his staff for always being so kind and answering all my questions. The recovery was very quick. I would recommend this to any one that is a candidate for this surgery.
~ Donna Platt
I am so pleased! I put off having cataract surgery because I have never had surgery before. Now I am just so happy that I went to see Dr. LeBlanc. The process of having cataract surgery was so smooth thanks to Dr. LeBlanc and his staff. They were informative and put me at ease; Dr. LeBlanc is so easy to speak to. I am just so happy that now I can SEE!!
~ Nancy Anderson
Earlier this year, we convinced my 85 year old mother to at least see Dr. LeBlanc because she was so sensitive to glare. She was hesitant, to say the least; however, her tune changed with our first visit to Dr. LeBlanc's office. The staff is so welcoming and professional. And my mother was smitten by the doctors gentle and patient manner. Of course, the real gift was the improvement in her sight. She loves to read daily prayers and now does not strain to read. Her quality of life is multiplied many times ..... as has ours because she is happy and more secure with her life!

I did not realize before I had cataract surgery how hazy & blurry my eye sight was. I am SO amazed now at how bright things are! Lights are more vivid and I now enjoy watching TV because I can see. After I had cataract surgery on my right eye, I would cover my left eye and could not believe the difference; it was amazing! I could not wait to have surgery on my left eye. Dr. LeBlanc, his staff and the outpatient facility were wonderful!

2011 MHADA lottery scam: 91 more applicants to lose MHADA flats
The applicants had similar addresses, phone and savings account numbers in their forms; officials had cancelled allotments for 334 flats earlier
In 2011, MHADA had conducted a lottery for the ownership of its 4,034 houses in various parts of Mumbai. Later, the authority received an anonymous letter revealing the involvement of a big scam in the draw. An internal inquiry was conducted and it was found that around 425 applicants had similar addresses, telephone numbers and savings account numbers mentioned in their application forms.
Speaking to MiD DAY, Deputy Chief Officer, MHADA (Mumbai board), Vishal Deshmukh, said, "Already FIRs have been registered against 334 applicants and their allotments have been cancelled. It has come to light that the other 91 lottery winners too have won the houses by submitting fake documents and so we have started cancelling the allotment letters to the 91 fake applicants."
MHADA started the cancellation procedure for the 91 winnders after the winners failed to prove their eligibility to claim the flats. This also means that these applicants had won the houses in the lottery by submitting fake documents. With these applicants under scrutiny and the cancellation in process, there will now be 425 houses from the 2011 lottery that will remain vacant. Officials are yet to decide if the vacant houses are to be allotted to those on the waiting list of the 2011 lottery or to release these houses in the next lottery in 2014.
"We have yet not decided whether the houses of these 425 applicants will be given to those on the waiting list or will be released in the next MHADA lottery," added the official. The FIR was registered under IPC Section 420, a non-bailable offence, for cheating the housing board of 425 flats. So far, MHADA has submitted the documents of 243 applicants for case investigations. Before making an arrest in the case, the police officials will first verify the documents.

Paris is all set to host one of the first private collections of modern art from Russia. This is the first time that Paris has been selected as the venue to host such a highly renowned Russian art event. Moreover, this is the first time that the private modern art collections are being presented outside of Russia.
The Louis Vuitton Foundation gallery in Paris has announced that they will host an exhibition of the paintings collected by the Russian industrialists Mikhail and Ivan Morozov by 2020. In light of this, many Paris city tours have commenced various programs for attracting more visitors to this event.
The gallery has previously held a successful event that displayed some of the rare yet incredible works of 20th century's greatest artists. The Morozov brothers have an astounding collection of some of the finest paintings by masters such as Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Cezanne produced before the Russian revolution. The foundation has announced that about 200 works of art created by Picasso, Matisse, Bonnard, Maurice Denis, and Derain would be featured in Paris for a period of four months.
Such exhibitions have always attracted art lovers from all around the world, and were an immense success in the past. An event titled "Icons of Modern Art" featuring the collections of Sergei Shchukin attracted about 1.2 million people.
Officials from the Louis Vuitton Foundation stated, "The Morozovs and the Shchukins… dominated Moscow's cultural life at the beginning of the 20th century and helped contribute to the international recognition of French model painters."
The Soviet regime that ruled during the period has confiscated the art collections of the families. The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Tretyakov State Gallery and Pushkin Museum in Moscow now houses this collection from the Morozov's.
Jean-Paul Claverie, art advisor to the CEO of LVMH Bernard Arnault, has declared that the upcoming exhibition of the Morozov's art collections would be unlike any other in the world. "This is a major international event at the same level as the Shchukin show," he said.
The Louis Vuitton Foundation also stated that the Morozov and Shchukin exhibitions would be returned to Moscow and St. Petersburg later. The modern art exhibition that is about to commence in Paris is the result of several negotiations between the Russian authorities and LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault. Last year, the foundation has entered into a partnership agreement with the Hermitage and Pushkin Museum for conducting the exhibitions.

MORE THAN ONE quarter of women in Europe experience physical or sexual violence from a partner at some stage in their lives, according to a new study by the World Health Organisation.
Another 5.2 per cent of women experience sexual violence from someone who isn't their partner.
The study is the first system review of scientific data on the prevalence of violence against women. It was released to coincide with a conference taking place in Vienna on eliminating violence against women.
"Violence against women cannot be tolerated in any society," said Zsuzsanna Jakab, the Regional Director of the WHO in Europe.
"Eradicating violence requires determined efforts to promote gender equality, challenge gender stereotypes and work with women and girls – not only as victims of violence but as empowered agents of change," she said.
Experts meeting in Vienna are calling on countries to adopt the new WHO guidelines to improve the recording of violence against women.
"We must bring to light this hidden crime and the many different forms that gender violence takes throughout the European Union, from physical and psychological abuse in partnerships, to sexual assault and rape, forced prostitution, trafficking in human beings and female genital mutilation," said Thérese Murphy, the head of operations at the European Institute for Gender Equality in Lithuania.
The EU has said that developing policies to combat gender-based violence is a priority.

Ending a struggle is a recognition of defeat when nothing is gained by it. The end of struggle should be based on getting the maximum without losing face. It should be the result of getting what one was fighting for and not selling a cause cheaply. If the causes of a struggle like repression and domination aren't dealt with, its seed will continue to grow.
As for the Dalai Lama to say he has lost lost for Tibet, he must feel frustrated by his long struggle to make China bow to his demands. If there is real democracy in China it doesn't matter if Tibet is an independent country or an autonomous region of China. However as china has been successful in implanting one country,two systems with Hong Kong, the same should apply to Tibet. However it remains unlikely that the Chinese government will follow this step as other regions in China will ask for the same political rights.
It will also remains to see if China will end its struggle to have Taiwan back by recognizing its independence. That will also be a turning point in its policy towards this territory and the other neighbouring countries , like Burma, whose repressive systems it supports.

Sharon Corrigan, County Board Chair 608.333.2285
County Board
Percentage far exceeds state, national averages for representation
When it comes to women having a seat at the table, the Dane County Board is way ahead of the rest of the country.
Following Tuesday's election, women now hold 17 of 37 Dane County Board seats or 45.9%. That is the highest percentage in over a quarter century.
In 1990 women held 19 of 41 seats (46.3%) but that figure had been falling over the past quarter century to a low of 6 in 2002, before rebounding over the past several years. For some historic perspective in 1970, only 6% of board members were women.
"Dane County has been leading the way on diversity and inclusion for some time and these election successes continue to build on that momentum," says Dane County Board Chair Sharon Corrigan of Middleton.
Statewide, women held 18 percent of the seats on county boards coming into the 2018 election cycle, according to the Wisconsin Counties Association. Only Eau Claire County, with 14 of 29 (48.2%) of supervisors being women, rivals Dane County on that measure.
Among local Dane County Board winners Tuesday were Tanya Buckingham representing Monona; Analiese Eicher representing northeast Madison and Sun Prairie; Julie Schwellenbach, who replaced long-time Supervisor Dennis O'Loughlin who did not seek reelection representing northeast Dane County; and Kelly Danner who defeated long-time Supervisor Al Matano representing near west Madison.
Three men also won seats on the board including Yogesh Chawla, who will replace former Board Chair Supervisor John Hendrick representing Madison's near east side. Hendrick did not seek reelection. Steven Peters representing west Madison and the town of Middleton and Jason Knoll in Verona were also successful in their election efforts.
All newly elected supervisors will be sworn in at the Board's organizational meeting on Tuesday April 17. State law requires counties to hold the first meeting of a new county board term on the third Tuesday of even-numbered years. The only agenda items at this meeting will be election of officers and adoption of the county board rules for the 2018-2020 term.
"If I can speak for my colleagues, we are certainly excited about adding some new voices to the County Board as we move forward on important issues including protecting our environment, overseeing vital human services and reforming the criminal justice system," says Corrigan.
Nationally, women continue to trail far behind their male counterparts when it comes to holding elected office -- even though women make up 50.8 percent of the U.S. population.
At the beginning of 2018, women held just 105 or 19.6% of the 535 seats in the U.S. Congress, according to the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP). That breaks down to 22 of 100 seats (22%) in the U.S. Senate and 83 of 435 (19.1%) seats in the House of Representatives.
Women also held 22.8% or 71 statewide elective executive offices across the country out of 312 available positions.
In terms of State Legislatures, 25.4%, of the 7,383 Legislators in the U.S. were women – although the number of women serving in state legislatures has more than quintupled since 1971, according to CAWP.
Wisconsin ranks 29th out of the 50 states in terms of women serving in the Legislature, with 24.2% of seats held by women at the beginning of 2018.
"Serving on the Dane County Board has opened the door to future higher elected office for many women, including U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, among others," says Corrigan. "The opportunity to represent constituents locally and wrestle with policy and fiscal decisions provides a firm foundation for the next step in elected office."

Hello & welcome to The Katalina Playroom!
Maybe you stumbled in here by accident, or perhaps you were sent here by me and have arrived at this page out of some sort of sense of obligation. Either way, I thank you for being here and hope that you will come back again soon.
Really, The Katalina Playroom is simply a place filled with a few things that I love. There's the well-known story of the teacher who asked her class what they wanted to be when they grew up. One little boy answered that he wanted to be happy. The teacher then told him that he didn't understand the question, and the little boy told the teacher that she didn't understand life. It has taken a few years but I have started to learn that holding on to the things that make you happy does not make you selfish. It makes you sane. And it gives you life. So in here, you will find a very big part of my life. Luckily, our humanity ties us so closely together that I think you might find your own bit of joy in the many things that I plan to share.

Earlier bans in Wales and Scotland had a similar effect, the group said.
Wetherspoon's said it had been carrying out more repairs to its pubs ahead of the English ban in July.
The firm added it had also increased the size of non-smoking areas in its pubs which had boosted food sales, although bar volumes were down.
Wetherspoon's warning came as the Watford-based company reported an increase in three- and six-month sales.
"Typical Wetherspoon, can't resist the downbeat finish to a relatively upbeat statement," said Mark Brumby, an analyst at Blue Oar Securities.
The company's shares fell 5.6% to 670 pence in trading in London.

What Happens When TANF Leavers Lose Their Jobs?
Project Dates
09/30/2010 - 03/29/2012
Following up on work by O'Leary and Kline (2008, 2010) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Labor, this project used program administrative data from a group of states to analyze the extent to which individuals who lose a job after leaving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) apply for and receive unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, the reasons why some UI applications are denied, and the correlation between UI receipt and TANF cycling. Patterns were examined preceding and during the Great Recession. The relative importance of UI and TANF as household income support were compared, and strategies for coordinating UI with TANF were examined.

The Eyes Have It & Tony and the Beetles
Read by Phil Chenevert
Aliens have invaded the earth! Horrible one celled creatures disguised as normal human beings ! Well, at least that is what it seems to the author. Yes, The Eyes Have It is a whimsical story, making gentle fun of certain writing styles, but only a topflight science-fictionist like Philip Dick , we thought, could have written this story, in just this way. Tony and the Beetles takes place far in the future when Earth's enormous colonial empire is well established but the question is, how long can it last? 10 year old Tony grows up fast when history catches up with the human race. A sobering look at human history .. and our probable future. Two very different stories but both entertaining. (Summary by the magazine editor and Phil Chenevert) (0 hr 42 min)

Young Horselover Fat
S David H de Lorge
These stories were more of biographical and intellectual interest. They didn't provide me the immersion ("entertainment?") that I generally get in his more mature work. That darn 70 year copyright horizon must be messing with it. Already in his early 20s, Phil's preoccupation with identity, and with reasoning his way out of paranoid conundrums, can be seen. "The Eyes" must have sold for a few much needed $, but is basically a juvenile joke spun out past the punchline. The theme in "Tony" was much deeper, if a bit awkward. I don't know Phil's biography well enough to know his deliberate intent in 1953, but the allegory about American racism, embedded in the tale of American imperialism, leapt out at me. He clearly recognized the brother humanity of a black working class, and the sadness of its impermeability for his own caste. His concern with Nazi, Fascist, and oppressive domination in general must have come through from his childhood. i wonder if that presages in some way "The Man in the High Castle."
I agree...
that the second story would be a good way to introduce the subject of racial prejudice but it also would be a good introduction to the long term effects of colonialism and war. What a sad, scary and utterly honest way of looking at ourselves.
Funny and sad story
I think this is a story that schools would do well to review with their students. It casts a light on social structure without inflaming the passions of people. Excellent work by Phil in both reading and selection. Thanks!
The Eyes Have It was very funny. The Beetles was good, but not at good as his other work.
The first part is hilarious but I am not sure why these books are paired
Great stories
Very entertaining I'll be looking out for more of these author's
I liked it. The reader did a great job.
Good short stories
Great read by Phil.

The Fan partners with the City of Richmond's Urban Forestry division to replenish and sustain The Fan's urban forest.
The Adopt-A-Tree program returns each summer with applications encouraging Fan residents to adopt trees for those empty tree wells in front of or near their homes. Through the efforts of the FDA, the City of Richmond's Urban Forestry division, and our Fan residents, this program has become a tremendous success and one that is greatly anticipated by residents every year. Based on Urban Forestry's records, The Fan leads all other neighborhoods in the number of trees planted!
Who can apply for a tree? Any resident of the Fan, FDA member or not, who needs a replacement tree for a dead or dying tree, or for a tree well that is missing a tree. FDA members receive a 50% discount. Adopters need to know that they must take care of the tree for two years after it has been planted, including watering the tree twice a week (more frequently during hot weather) and ensuring that the tree well remains free from weeds and other plants that may take water away from the new saplings.
Submit your Adopt-A-Tree application and payment to the FDA Office, 208 Strawberry Street, by August 27th. Your new tree will be delivered in the Spring of 2019.
Tree Well Eligibility
The tree well must meet the following stipulations in order to be eligible for tree adoption:
Tree Selection
Adopters may request a specific type of tree should they have a preference; however, the City Arborist will make the final determination based on the type of tree best suited for the tree well.
Contact us to adopt a tree for your tree well.

Chair, Adopt-A-Tree

Results from comet lander's experiments expected
A first evaluation of the data that comet lander Philae sent to the European Space Center before its depleted batteries forced it to go silent will be released Monday, the German aeronautics and space research center said
The scientists are getting together to discuss their data analyses Monday morning and following that meeting, the center will publish the scientists' findings, spokesman Andreas Schuetz told The Associated Press.
Since landing Wednesday on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko some 311 million miles (500 million kilometers) from Earth, the lander has performed a series of scientific tests and sent reams of data back to Earth.
In addition, the lander was lifted on Friday by about 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) and rotated about 35 degrees in an effort to pull it out of shadow so that solar panels could recharge the depleted batteries.
ESA's team of scientists have been evaluating the data to find out whether the experiments were successful—especially a complex operation Friday in which the lander was given commands to drill a 25-centimeter (10-inch) hole into the comet and pull out a sample for analysis.
Material beneath the surface of the comet has remained almost unchanged for 4.5 billion years, so the samples would be a cosmic time capsule that scientists are eager to study.
One of the things scientists are most excited about is the possibility that the mission might help confirm that comets brought the building blocks of life—organic matter and water—to Earth.

The construction industry has worked hard in recent times to make sites as safe as possible. And while every accident cannot be avoided, there are common safety problems that are recognised, and solutions put in place. Whether you are running the project or employing a company to do it for you, it is worth knowing these most common issues.
Fall protection
One of the top causes of deaths on a construction site is due to falls and that's why fall protection tops most HSE lists. For workers, it is important to be aware of the potential fall hazards on a site and to use personal fall arrest systems. These should be checked before use to ensure they work and are free from damage.
Employers need to ensure that these systems are provided and that there are no unprotected edges or sides that are six feet above a lower level. This includes using guardrails, safety net systems and those fall arrest systems mentioned above.
Over two-thirds of all construction work take place on scaffolding and that's why it is a cause of safety problems ranging from falls to falling objects and even electrocution. Workers need to wear hard hats and non-skid boots as well as using tool lanyards to prevent dropped tools. Scaffolding should never be used in ice, when wet or muddy. Also, the maximum load should never be exceeded.
Employers need to ensure that scaffolding is erected and disassembled by a competent person, a professional scaffolder in most cases. It should include guardrails, midrails and toeboards.
Stairways and ladders
Improper use of ladders is another top reason that people experience falls and even deaths on a construction site. This includes incorrect ladder choice, failure to secure the ladders and trying to carry tools when climbing. Workers need to make three points of contact when ascending or descending a ladder, usually both feet and one hand. Ladders need to be secured at both top and bottom and tools carried with a belt or rope that is pulled up after climbing stops.
Employers need to ensure ladders are in good condition and that workers are trained on good ladder use. All ladders need to be to OSHA standards and if there are electrical equipment involved, then nonconductive side railings are required.
Protective equipment
OSHA has updated their recommendations around the covering of eye and face protection from April 2016, so all sites should be aware of these new standards. The standards cover a variety of jobs including drilling, sanding, woodworking, grinding, masonry work and welding. Workers must wear eye and face protection that fits the face snuggly and is clean and in good repair.
Employers need to provide this equipment free of charge to workers and ensure they need the latest standards. If any workers were glasses or contact lenses, then there must be protection equipment available that can work with these and ensure they are able to see properly while being protected to the required standard at the same time.

Students are assessed on their ability to write creatively on all education levels from high school all the way to PhD. If you want to write a top-notch paper, you should make your ideas comprehensible to the audience. For those who cannot push their limits of imaginations, it becomes hard to produce a flawless piece. Besides, whenever you are not sure of the procedure you should follow when writing these assignments, you can reach out to our experts for help. At our company, we handle all the topics issued with the highest level of professionalism.
Features of Creative Works
Tasks that require creativity forces students to look beyond set structures and guidelines. For instance, in creative essays, students need to create stories that have interesting plots and compelling paths. The best thing about these tasks is that they do not have restrictions on topics, thus give you an opportunity to be imaginative. Sometimes, however, instructors may narrow down the topics into individual categories, but when it comes to presenting your story, you need to establish your path. Therefore, contrary to other types of works such as persuasive and analytical papers, creative workings do not entail technicalities.
Categories of Creative Papers
There are types of essays that allow you to set your imagination free. Here are some of them.
Narrative Essay
Narrative essays aim at discussing imaginary as well as real events. The objective is to show the audience how you can present your thoughts, feelings or actions.
Personal Essay
Personal essays are used to present your personal experiences and to persuade readers that a certain aspect or event of your life is important.
Admission Essay
Admission essays allow you to demonstrate why you deserve a chance to be admitted to a particular program. In other words, they enable you to advertise yourself and how you would make a contribution to the program.
Why Most Students Seek Creative Writing Help
When faced with a paper that requires creativity, some students find it hard to meet all the requirements of the tasks. For instance, some of these learners find it hard to put their imaginations into written words. They thus end up providing insufficient answers which result in getting low marks.
You can only be creative when you have a relaxed mind. Most students, however, feel anxious and end up making many mistakes right from the introduction. Unfortunately, even the slightest spelling mistakes can turn your otherwise great paper into a mediocre piece.
As a student, you should also pursue your hobbies. There are many activities that you can do while in school. They include swimming, watching movies and participating in sporting activities. Besides, you also need to spend time with your friends and family members. All these activities may take a great portion of your time thus leaving you with limited time to handle your academic work. Therefore, it becomes hard to come up with a good creative writing piece. The other option that remains is to seek professional assistance from a respected writing agency. You can only get better results when the help comes from a reputable company.
Most students have to secure full-time/part-time jobs. They have various expenses such as accommodation and clothing. Sometimes, they have to work for long hours to increase their income. Besides, some need to show a high level of commitment towards their work to get promotions and consequently a salary increment. By the time such students settle down to do their academic work, they may be too exhausted to produce high-quality work. A paper prepared under such circumstances may not meet the standard that is acceptable by the instructors.
How to Improve Your Ability to Write Creatively
You cannot just wake up one day and miraculously can write outstanding creative work. You should be willing to learn from those who know and with time to improve your writing capability. There are several tips that you can apply to enhance your writing abilities. They include the following.
- Read extensively
Creativity may not embed itself on you if you do not work hard to get it. You need to get access to information that can make you imaginative. Read many books produced by renowned creative writers. You can also get access to sample papers from trustworthy sources. The more you read, the more ideas you get. As you read the content, you should look at the different writing styles that these writers apply and try to imitate what they do. With time, you can come up with your unique writing style.
- Polish your grammar
Careless spelling mistakes can make your paper convey a different message from what you had intended. Therefore, the first way to improve your grammar is to understand and apply the content taught in class. You can also read journals from your subject area and see how the contextual words are used to ensure you do not misplace them when you are preparing your paper. Look at the rules that guide the use of different punctuation marks, how to use transitional phrases, and how to ensure that your sentences have proper structures among other critical grammar guidelines.
- Focus on writing and avoid distractions
Always stay focused on the task. Steer off the diversionary thoughts that come to your mind as you draft your creative writing paper. When you concentrate on the task, you can get more ideas, write better content and finish the writing task at the right time.
- Practise writing regularly
There is no point of learning a skill if you do not apply it in real life situations. The same concept applies to writing. When you write regularly, it becomes part of you, and you become more comfortable with it. Submit your paper to your instructor to highlight for you any mistake that you have made. In your next writing task, try and avoid the errors that you may have made in the previous paper. With time, the errors that you make reduce and you become a better writer.
- Work on your paper outline
A splendid paper is one in which the ideas are placed in strategic locations. For example, it is good to introduce the reader on what to expect from the paper right at the beginning. Keep in mind that a good piece should have an introduction, body and conclusion.
- Keep your audience in mind
You need to understand who your readers are. Therefore, do not write about inappropriate things and do not be rude to the readers. Use a friendly tone to keep them engaged. Additionally, avoid complex vocabularies as they may detach the readers' attention.
Problems Students Face with Unreliable Creative Writing Service
Many companies offer writing services. However, very few can be trusted to deliver quality work. Some are just in the industry to make money from the unsuspecting students. Dealing with a company whose reputation is questionable may result in the following.
Delivery of Plagiarized and Low-quality Work
Some of these agencies do not even have qualified writers. Their presence creates more chaos than offer help to clients. When you order from these companies, their writers copy content that is available from existing papers. With a thorough plagiarism check that most instructors do, it is impossible for your paper to pass the originality test. When you plagiarise your content, the least penalty that can befall you is to be told to redo the whole work. In the worst-case scenario, you can be discontinued from your course. Do not let the carelessness of such companies put you in trouble when we provide content that is unique to you.
Access to Your Personal Information by Unauthorized People
The security of your personal information is important when dealing with a writing company. Some creative writing websites cannot keep your details safe. Third parties, especially fraudsters can easily access your information. With such carelessness, you can easily fall victim of identity theft. When the fraudsters access your payment information, for instance, you can end up losing your money. Worse still, such companies make it easy for your professor to notice that you have received assistance with your paper thus put your academic integrity in to question. Others keep your paper and resell to other students even after you pay them. As a client, you need to select a company that values you and guarantees the safety of your details.
Inability to Follow-Up on the Progress of Your Paper
Some companies do not allow clients to monitor how the task is being handled. You cannot even add information that you may have forgotten when placing your initial order. Due to these inconveniences and secret dealings, the final paper may not meet your expectations or the standard that is set by your school. It is not advisable to deal with such agencies when you can get the quality that you deserve from us.
Unreliable Customer Support Staff
Whenever you have a question on how to place an order or any other issue that you need to be sorted, it should be easy to get help. However, for most companies getting customer support to help is not easy. You should not deal with such agencies when you can be served better at our company.
How to Place Your Order at Our Creative Writing Online Company
Our motive is to make your academic life easier. We already know that you may be struggling with other pressing responsibilities and you do not want other procedures to make your life harder. For this reason, we have made the process for ordering content from us easy. First-time clients do not need to sign up for an account. When you place an order, you receive your login details through your email address. The process that you need to follow is detailed below.
- Submit a completed order form
To get what you want, give us clear instructions. Fill out the order form with a vivid description of the paper you want. Specify the topic, the number of pages, and the time that you want the content to be delivered.

- Submit the payment
Various payment options are available on our website including Visa. All these payment methods are safe, and no third party can get access to your information. Moreover, we do not have any hidden charges. You can tell the factors that cause the variation in the amount you pay. These aspects include the education level of your assignment and the amount of time that you give our experts to complete your work. For instance, you pay less when you give us a long time to finish your work.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney believes there likely will be no Mideast peace and blamed the Palestinians, according to comments he made in a video posted on the Mother Jones website and on YouTube.
In the video that had the Romney campaign scrambling Monday night, the former Massachusetts governor said at a private fundraiser that the Palestinians don't want to establish a peace process with Israel.
"[T]he Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish," Romney said in the Mother Jones video.
Romney explained that if the Palestinians had their own state, that Iran would shuttle weapons through the West Bank.
"And of course the Iranians would want to do through the West Bank exactly what they did through Lebanon, what they did near Gaza," Romney said. "Which is that the Iranians would want to bring missiles and armament into the West Bank and potentially threaten Israel."
Romney called Obama's foreign policy a "naïve perception."
"The president's foreign policy, in my opinion, is formed in part by a perception he has that his magnetism, and his charm, and his persuasiveness is so compelling that he can sit down with people like Putin and Chávez and Ahmadinejad, and that they'll find that we're such wonderful people that they'll go on with us, and they'll stop doing bad things. And it's an extraordinarily naive perception."
Romney added that he hopes for "some degree of stability" in the Mideast, but doesn't see how that is possible.
"I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say, 'There's just no way.'"
Romney has consistently hammered President Obama's tumultuous relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that the White House is not doing enough to protect its ally from Iran.
Speaking to NBC News on Sunday, Netanyahu, who has been critical of Obama, said the president needs to establish a "red line" with Iran in regards to a U.S. military strike to thwart the country's nuclear ambitions.
