Whenever one reads a report on a holiday destination or place to take a city break, one will find within the report a good deal of boasting about its wonderful and historical architecture. There will be lot of encouragement with regard to making sure that one spends plenty of time in their research so that one don't miss something important. However, in every one of these destinations, there will also be estates made up of standard houses that are identical to each other. This article isn't stating that these standard houses don't make perfectly good homes and that they aren't well built and well loved by many. But, and this is the real point, they are not something that the tourist board is going to be boasting about in years to come. These 'Lego' houses will not be used to encourage visitors. So should we be thinking more about designing houses that we can be proud of? Has the more standard type houses had their day? It's a matter of responsibility, but whose responsibility is it? Is it the homeowner's?
Let's see
There are plenty of people who would argue that most cities do not really contain standard houses because these types of houses tend to be built on the outskirts. This is a very valid point but I would argue that every visitor has to enter the city one way or another and most of those routes will include a trip past at least one estate of standard houses. And anyway, shouldn't a city tour involve the whole city? More tourists are becoming interested in the whole city in recent times, and not just the crowded exact center attractions of the city. In the cities themselves more and more often we see buildings being torn down and modern apartment blocks erected in their place. As far as many are concerned these are no different to standard houses and most of the time they are nothing to be proud of. Everyone knows they are simply built for economic reasons. So maybe as far as cities are concerned we should be concentrating on creating buildings that rival those built by the great architects of the past to ensure that we have a legacy that we can be proud of. The question to consider is how much of a possibility this is. Is it a realistic one?
All of that said, standard houses still remain a popular choice for many people that are looking to purchase their own home. Because the contractor is able to build a large number of standard homes quickly at the same time as being able to save on architect's fees and planning costs, they are able to sell standard homes for less, which keeps them in the reach of the average person. When I write 'average person' I am referring to a person who earns a wage that is somewhere between the lofty top wages and the minimum wage. It is an economical summarization only.
There is another option for people, of course. If the current era is known for anything then it can be known for customer choice. So it is no surprise, or it should come as a little surprise, that there is a third choice. This is a choice that should not be forgotten, which is increasing in popularity again, and that is the option to build your own. Many people are making the decision to purchase a plot of land and then hire a company to construct a home that they have designed. On the surface of it, this sounds like an absolute dream, and it can work. Designing one's home means that the finished article is a reflection of their taste and style and is nothing like the other houses that are situated close by.
Of course
There are many companies around that help people achieve their dream of building their own home and many will actually guide people through the whole process from purchasing the building plot to furnishing the finished house. It is a service that helps people fulfill their dreams, and this is something that should be appreciated by people who don't want to live in standard houses, a block of flats, or something that resembles Lego that is tucked away on the side of town, away from the tourists in what appears to be an act of shame. Buying a plot of land and building one's own house is a way of ensuring one's house reflects their distinct personality.
Something that every person is aware of, but sometimes need a little reminding, is that houses are tremendously important places. There the places we eat, sleep, and spend the lion share of our time in. Besides the workplace, we spend nothing like the time we spend in our house anywhere else. It almost goes without saying that if we are unhappy with our house then we are likely to be unhappy in our general life. The reverse of this statement is that if we are happy with our house then we will likely be happy in our lives. What a tremendous opportunity a person has in designing their own home, having it built, and giving themselves a better chance of being happy in the long run.
So in conclusion
Standard houses (or known in Danish as "typehuse") still have a place in society because there will always be a requirement for affordable housing. It simply wouldn't be realistic for every person to plan and then build their own house. But those that have the funds and the choice will often opt for something else so that they can create something that people can admire in years to come. It will be interesting to see what influence this option has in years to come. People taking a tour of a certain city might be pointed out to a few well designed and aesthetically pleasing homes. If you're on of the lucky ones and you are looking to plan and build your own house then maybe it might be one of your houses.

text: This morning, the County Board of Education honored Rancho San Joaquin Middle School Principal Scott Bowman for his efforts in the 2009 Governor's Challenge competition, which encouraged students, parents and staff to get active and fit. Bowman was named the Governor's Challenge Principal of the Year for the entire Orange County Region. From September 2008 through May 2009, schools from all over California took part in the fitness contest by logging their exercise time in special calendars. (Our very own Greentree Elementary was named a state finalist.) Chris Corliss, the county's coordinator of Health, Sports & Physical Education, praised Mr. Bowman for his ability to inspire students to get moving in creative ways, noting that the Rancho principal swapped a racquetball court for a popular climbing wall. Mr. Bowman, who was one of the state's top P.E. teachers before becoming an administrator, has been an innovative champion of physical education for more than 20 years. And as principal he continues to "walk the talk – literally," Corliss said, noting that Mr. Bowman recently trekked more than 9 miles through Rancho's attendance area to encourage participation in the third annual Walk to School Day, which was sponsored by IPSF. The previous year, Principal Bowman inspired students and staff by walking to Rancho from his home – in Lake Forest. (To read the OC Register's account of his journey, click here.) Overall in Orange County, nearly 28,000 students, teachers and parents logged more than 500,000 days of physical activity through the 2009 Governor's Challenge. In addition to Mr. Bowman's award, Columbus Tustin Middle School and the Buena Park School District were also honored Thursday.

Determine Food Vitamin K content
Charles Webb wrote almost 4 years ago
I have been on coumadin for several months with a target range of 2.0 - 3.0. My INR results have been relatively stable on 6mg/day dosage.
Update! Success!
Found site www.nutritionvalue.org that does exactly what I was asking about.
I have a food scale at home and would like to use it to get a better idea of the Vitamin K levels that I am consuming. It would help greatly to remain consistent day to day or week to week IF there were a resource to determine Vitamin K content of food related to WEIGHT (grams or ounces). Most of the Vitamin K content resources (including this site) give Vitamin K content in units that are not easily converted to weight. That includes the information available through this site as many/most of the Vitamin K content levels are listed in cups or partial cups. This would be fine for liquids, but is not easily used for non-liquid foods.
Can someone refer me to an available resource for Vitamin K content that will allow me to use my food scale to determine the vitamin K content?
I greatly appreciate any help offered.

The leadership crisis that rent the University of Virginia last month arose partly out of fear that other elite schools were moving into the vanguard of a coming digital revolution, and that U-Va. stood to be left behind, the Washington Post reports. That argument, advanced by the leader of the university governing board, turned out to be based on a faulty premise. Almost no one on campus knew at the time the breadth of the collective investment that U-Va. was already making in online education. On Tuesday, the investment will yield a major payoff. The university is joining a prestigious online consortium led by two Stanford University professors. With one stroke, the Virginia public flagship heads toward the front of a potentially transformative movement to online learning on a global scale. The university's participation in Coursera, an initiative to offer free online courses to the masses, answers a criticism that loomed large in the recent power struggle in Charlottesville that began with the abrupt resignation of President Teresa Sullivan and ended with her reinstatement…

I started this website with the full intention of it being a blog.
Then it progressively became my artist website.
However, I am not ashamed who I am, and I do not believe in centering who I am.
Mass shootings are pretty often in the United States. This is something gaining speed every year. If you are from another country reading this, I hope you know that not all of us Americans are gun-loving lunatics. The idea of owning a gun, "because I love it" or "because it's my hobby" is ludicrous to me. That's such a privilege but not a right, and owning a semi-automatic also doesn't seem like it needs to be a thing. In fact, you can love guns and just fire a pistol or hand gun, right? That.. should be all allowed.
Now I am not really even for that. I don't own a gun. Probably never will. Because even in a situation where someone was trying to kill me… I would have a hard fucking time pulling that trigger. It's not me. So to all of those people telling others that TEACHERS should have guns? That's ridiculous. If they had to shoot their own student who had a gun in their hand… could they? Would they? And if they did, how much would that fuck them up? Honestly?
I don't think the solution to this problem is as easy as each radical side likes to believe.
In America we have a masculinity problem. That is own of our NUMBER ONE issues. From this issue stems domination, power, aggressive behavior. Anyone with some of these characteristics or issues, with a gun? Well, that could be some bad news.
However, our Country has so much nasty big business and dirty money tied into it…
I do think a solution is banning all guns, but for some reason, our redneck gun-loving people who own 79 guns to shoot a beer can in their back yard (when a BB gun would do just fine) wouldn't allow that to happen. So here are three areas I think that need to be improved on that are causing issues:
1. With unlimited access to guns, there will be unlimited amounts of mass shootings. Gun control must be stricter.
This does NOT mean taking away guns, this means making It harder to get them.
I'm bolding that point because 90 percent of conservatives don't understand that concept. But also, are pro-life, just not for actual lives (lol), just cells.
Right now guns are easier than getting a drivers license. A simple background check is not enough. A lot more things should take into consideration. Health, mental health, background troubles with law, aggression problems, etc.
2. Mental illness is in every country. Big Pharma is just what keeps us from having access to actual help and affordable help. however, even with meds, mental illness is unpredictable. If we actually had no guns, it would limit this unpredictability. We are the only problem with mass shootings per week, but we are not the only country with mental illness.
3. If we changed the way our media presented shit, like Europe does, and instead of creating praise almost, on those who did the crime (Europe keeps them nameless and focuses on the heroes), it would get rid of the negative famousness of these killers.. which honestly is a large percentage of why people do it, to become infamous. This is a proven point in psychology.
If we black marketed semi-automatics, know that they would be over thousands of dollars… which is hella expensive. and although it would not rid ALL crimes, it would rid most. By the actual tactics of supply and demand, we would rid almost all mass shootings, as Australia and many other countries who had this problem in the past did.
However, all of these three factors are causing this to happen in the US, and unfortunately, all of these factors involve greedy, corrupt politicians receiving dirty money.
I am so mad.
I don't get half of this shit.. and by that I mean I literally cannot comprehend the people doing the killing, and the others that are subtly supporting the killing by just complaining on social media that guns do nothing and state we "have crazy people in this country." How does that do anything? Being passive? That is worse than any other thing you can do right now.
If you think this is a mental illness problem, then, for shits and gigs, let's create the greatest mental illness program in the world and see what happens. Please do, GOP.

RENT XXXIII, the Research in Entrepreneurship and Small Business Conference, takes place in Berlin-Dahlem on November 28th and 29th, with a pre-conference day on ESCP's Berlin campus on November 27th.
In 1987, the first RENT workshop was hosted by the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) in Brussels. It is moreover co-organized by the European Council for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ECSB).
The RENT conferences have then been held all over Europe have dealt with topics such as SMEs in Developing and Transition Countries, Problems of Financing in SMEs, and Women in entrepreneurship. This year's focus lies on uncertainty. Like the Effectuation conference, RENT is joined by Saras Sarasvathy. As second keynote speaker, Gerd Gigerenzer is welcomed. He is a psychologist and the director of the Harding Center for Risk Literacy at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development in Berlin. Just in 2019, he was awarded the Allais Memorial Prize for Behavioral Sciences.

Any chance of a return to normal ferry service for the Isle of Barra has been postponed again with the news that weather disruption will affect the Oban Castlebay route tomorrow (Tuesday September 10th).
MV Isle of Lewis returned to service only yesterday (Sunday) with an amended service, after another technical issue sent her for repairs to her bow doors.
Now high winds forecast for tomorrow mean a changed timetable, with the service running early to beat the worst of the weather.
There's more scheduled disruption on Wednesday because of the Tiree cattle and sheep sale, meaning that MV Clansman will run the Castlebay Oban route to an altered timetable, via Coll and Tiree.
Travel woes for the island were compounded yesterday (Sunday) with the cancellation of the scheduled 12 noon flight from Barra airport.

"DAILY PLANET editor Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) declares that the American conscience died with "Martin, Bobby, and John." He's admonishing one of his idealistic reporters, but he may as well be addressing anyone left in the audience hoping to see the hero who protects us. The biggest lie, Luthor says, is the idea that power is ever innocent. How terrible that he's right. How terrible that this truth is the truth in a Superman film. How fascinating that Snyder's better Watchmen adaptation isBVS. Snyder paints himself into a curious corner with his interpretation of Superman as this moping, solipsistic god. There's a montage of him doing wondrous things, like blowing up missiles and rescuing farm families from rooftops. But if Supes isn't governed by an innate morality, the cornerstone of this character, then the only reason he hasn't thrown every bad guy on the planet into orbit is because he doesn't really care to solve that problem. He whispers at the end that Lois Lane is his world. She is. The sum total of it. Oh, and his mom, sort of. He has a penchant for running away when things get hard. He's a whiny, truculent, occasionally homicidal child, and if that's now a better representation of the United States and what it believes in, then I stand chastened with knuckles rapped. Who knew that the Superman symbol would go the way of the Confederate flag? When White wonders aloud if Clark clicks his heels together to be transported back to Kansas, in my head I'm thinking that The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939, the year after Superman was introduced in Action Comics, and that Thomas Frank has wondered aloud--and famously--what happened to the progressive idealism of Kansas to make it the wingnut capital of the Midwest. It's a loaded jab that speaks to what a pussy I am to cry at a new Star Wars film that reminded me of the old one in every meaningful way. That time is over. More, it never existed in the first place. Glory to the Superman movie that removes hope, and every memory of hope. Every shred.
I should mention that this Batman kills people as well. Not even Frank Miller's Bats killed people with this kind of purpose--at least not the one from Miller's seminal The Dark Knight Returns. In that way, he's like Tim Burton's Batman, and like Tim Burton's Batman, Snyder's Batman is a psychopath. He is, indeed, a thought too big for little minds. BVS is best read as expressionism. It isn't bound by character development or sense. Rather, it's strung-together dream sequences, perverse emotions, and nightmare imagery. There are bleeding crypts and holy levitations; unabashed Christian imagery and infernal suggestions abound (one of the caged human traffickees refers to Batman as "a devil"). Desecration of corpses and resurrections? Yes, both. There is the murder of parents--the ghosts of them, too, haunting literally and figuratively at the periphery. BVS is itself deranged. Its consciousness is delusional and subject to hallucination. There's a scene where Lois almost drowns in radioactive green water, not because it moves the script (the circumstances of her immersion are silly, the exposition setting it up clumsy and obviously a post-production crutch. "Did you find the spear?" When was the decision to look for it ever discussed?), but because the image of her trapped in glowing green is straight out of a Dario Argento movie. Inferno, to be precise. Batman/Bruce Wayne is angry with Superman for killing thousands of people, even though Superman did it to save thousands more: the Devil's rationale. So Wayne builds some Kryptonite weapons and challenges Clark Kent to a duel. Then Wonder Woman appears to a soundtrack sting that's suspiciously like Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," and she's as awesome as the suggestion that it's immigrants who will save Gotham and Metropolis. When Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman stand in hero poses, I had a moment of nostalgia true and painful to the kid version of me, eating frozen french fries and contemplating the value of teamwork and halls of justice. It doesn't last. Dreams never do.
"BVS isn't about that. It's about branding the bad guys like cattle, deep in their flesh, so they get "justice" in the prison yard. The word "justice" is so cynical a euphemism that you can only say it now with a sneer. BVS is about wholesale murder for the greater good, and the word "fear" is used so much that it should actually be the picture's subtitle instead. Take careful note of the moment where a hostage is freed and how our hero neglects to ask the one important question. Or another where a 9/11-esque memorial is used as a weapon. Take note, too, of Superman fucking Lois Lane in a bathtub. BVS is brutal to nostalgia. Batman's entire battle cry is how Superman is a naïf, a child, and how he's going to make him into a man by beating him to death. He crystallizes the struggle as offense that Superman's code is borrowed from a dead Kansas farmer, while Batman's is forged in the understanding that people die for no reason and that the only sense in the Universe is the sense one tries to impose on it."
-Walter Chaw, Batman Vs Superman Review, Film Freak Central

ProSiebenSat.1, TF1 Group and Mediaset have formed an alliance to co-fund a number of multi-channel networks (MCNs). Both Mediaset and TF1 will invest in Studio71, ProSiebenSat.1's premium MCN, with shares of 5.5 percent (Mediaset) and 6.1 percent (TF1) at a company valuation of approximately EUR 400 million. ProSiebenSat.1 will retain about 70 percent of the shares in Studio71.
Studio71 was founded in 2013 and has quickly scaled to establish itself as a market leader with around 500 million video views a month in the German-speaking DACH region. By acquiring a majority in the US network "Collective Digital Studio," which now also trades under the name Studio71, the MCN now reaches about 6 billion video views a month and joined the world's top five players with a focus on premium channels. The company has offices in five countries and around 200 employees. As a result of the transaction, Studio71 will add offices and teams in Paris and Milan in the near future. The company's inventory is represented by ProSieben's SevenOne Media.
As part of the same deal, ProSiebenSat.1 will also acquire a strategic minority interest in "Finder Studios", a French premium MCN co-founded by TF1. In addition to that ProSiebenSat.1 and Mediaset have also agreed to found a joint venture to launch Studio71 l in the Italian market.
ProSieben also say that Studio71 will aim to tap into additional markets alongside Germany, USA, Canada, Great Britain and Austria, with this partnership leading to the company setting up in France and Italy. Christof Wahl, COO of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group, said, "The partnership with TF1 Group and Mediaset gives us access to key European markets where the online video market is just now really picking up momentum and promising significant potential. With the united marketing power of our media companies, we have an attractive ecosystem with which we can generate additional income and continue Studio71's digital success story."
TF1 Group and Mediaset are both members of the "European Media Alliance", a media network of leading European broadcasters, initiated by ProSiebenSat.1 in 2014 to create common synergies and investment opportunities.

'By God, we will break your cross': ISIS' Harrowing Vow To Christians In Iraq
As Christians begin to return home after liberation from ISIS in Northern Iraq, the harrowing reality of ISIS occupation is beginning to emerge.
Scrawled in red on the walls of one shop in Qaraqosh – a majority Christian town not far from Mosul – are the words: "By God, we will break your cross", Reuters reports.
In one church visited by the news agency, a statue of Jesus had been decapitated, while Bibles had been ripped apart and scattered across the floor.
Though ISIS has now been pushed out of a number of towns in the Nineveh Plain as part of the offensive to take back Mosul, the militants' last stronghold in Iraq, the past two years have left Iraq's Christians uncertain about their future.
"I am 64 years old," one Christian man said. "If I were young I could start again, but at this age what can I do? We [Christians] have no future in Iraq."
Qaraqosh once had the largest Christian population in the country and was home to at least a quarter of Iraq's Christian community. However, Kurdish troops stationed to protect the town withdrew on August 6, 2014, leaving ISIS free to move in overnight and take it along with a number of other Christian-majority towns in the region.
Tens of thousands of people were then forced to flee after ISIS issued an ultimatum to Christians: leave, convert to Islam, pay a heavy tax or be killed.
Though in many of the liberated towns are not yet safe enough for civilians to return home, priests have begun visiting their churches in the wake of the devastation.
On 30 October, dozens of Iraqi Christians celebrated mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Qaraqosh.
"Today Qaraqosh is free of Daesh (Islamic State)," Syriac Catholic Archbishop of Mosul Butrus Moshe – who was born in the town – told worshippers.
"Our role today is to remove all the remnants of Daesh," he added. "This includes erasing sedition, separation and conflicts, which victimised us.
"Political and sectarian strife, separating between one man and another, between ruler and follower, these mentalities must be changed."

CD Review: HOLY GHOST!Holy Ghost! [Fantasy]
Podcast »
Holy Ghost! - HOLY GHOST!Erin Donaldson takes a sneak peek on tracks from Holy Ghost!'s albums.
Monday, April 4, 2011
Category: Arts & Entertainment > Music > CD Reviews
As part of the recent influx of new wave revival projects, the self-titled debut of Holy Ghost! induces nostalgia for '80s dance culture, even in those too young to have experienced it first-hand. The electro-pop duo applies techniques from modern electronic dance music to its synth-happy roots - the result sounding much like a remixed soundtrack to a John Hughes movie. While this album is certainly a worthwhile listen, it lacks the edge of other recent efforts, as well as Holy Ghost!'s own previous releases.
It has been four years since the band unveiled their first single "Hold On," and that song still remains their best. (In fact, the most noteworthy tracks on the album are all those that were already singles.) Most contemporary new wave acts draw on the darker, drier Joy Division sound, but Holy Ghost!'s earlier work departs from this trend by infusing electro-pop with funk elements. Such deviation is still present in some tracks on Holy Ghost!, but the majority of the album is rather bland. It is doubtful that the average listener will be able to sit through all of the filler tracks until the end, when the funkiest, most exciting songs finally appear.
Listeners are left baffled as to what the band has been so preoccupied with over the past four years - clearly it wasn't perfecting their debut album. The slew of remixes they have released demonstrates how talented the two musicians are, but perhaps they focused too much energy on this side project. Had they put in the necessary effort, this could have been a great album - but what they have given us is still half-baked and mediocre.

User journeys look at the actions people take when performing tasks whether it is online or offline. By observing the way that employees access information you get a better understanding of the ways in which an intranet can improve their productivity.
When you see firsthand how your employees search for information you can create an intranet structure that caters for their needs.
For example, you may ask staff to look up contact details. You may discover that the first place staff look is the intranet homepage although contact information isn't located there. By observing their 'journey' you have discovered that the most logical place to put contact information is on the homepage.
Benefits of user journeys are:-
- Discover how easy it is for staff to find information and the time it takes
- Assess how to speed up processes for staff
- Find the most logical place to put information so staff find it quickly.

Partners In Prevention Award Winner:
Matthew Brett
Chief, Kempton Fire Company
Nominated by Amy Muzopappa, BS, NRP, president, Boyertown Lions Community Ambulance Service
Matt Brett has been involved with burn prevention and fire safety for the past 31 years, and has coordinated these efforts for Kempton Fire Company for the past 20 years. Each year Kempton Fire Company educates about 250 students from kindergarten through fifth grade at three local schools, hosts multiple scouting groups and participates in education and outreach at fairs, churches and civic events. They emphasize the importance of smoke detectors, including testing and replacing batteries, and use the Burn Prevention Network Fire Safety House to simulate an authentic fire experience with smoke and reduced visibility. Their efforts clearly paid off last year when Marcela Marcune-Brown remembered what she had learned at school and led her younger sister to safety during a house fire.
Spirit of Courage Award Winner:
Marcela Marcune-Brown
Hamburg, Pa.
Nominator: Matthew Brett, chief, Kempton Fire Company
Marcela and her younger sister, Coral, were asleep in the early morning hours when Marcela was awakened by smoke detectors and her barking dog. Smoke had already filled the house. Marcela stayed calm and crawled until she reached her sister, then the two crawled out of the house with the dog and waited for the fire department to arrive. Smoke detectors that were checked regularly, a practiced exit strategy and a brave girl who didn't panic saved two people's lives that morning.
Spirit of Courage Award Winner:
Joseph Fulse
Firefighter, Palmer Township Municipal Fire Department
Nominator: James Alercia, Deputy Chief, Palmer Township Municipal Fire Department
Firefighter Joe Fulse had just left the firehouse after a call and was on his way home when he came upon smoke and fire coming from the rear of a house. Fulse ran through the yard, to the back door. He forced the door open and was hit with a large amount of smoke and fire. It was pitch dark but he could see an elderly man lying on the floor of the dining room, which was fully engulfed in fire. With no protective gear, he fought through deteriorating conditions to reach the man and bring him out to the patio through thick smoke and heat. When Fulse tried to call 911, he was not able to get a signal, so he drove back to the firehouse and yelled to his fellow firefighters who were still there. Amazingly, thanks to Fulse the 94-year-old victim made a full recovery despite sustaining second-degree burns to his arms, shoulder and head.
Spirit of Courage Award Winner:
Christopher Keenhold
Assistant Chief, Bath Volunteer Fire Department
Nominator: Charles Tully, chief, Bath Volunteer Fire Department
In the early morning hours of Jan. 1, firefighters responded to a fire in a rowhome. Three firefighters entered the home from the second floor to begin searching for victims. While on the third floor, interior conditions rapidly worsened, and they were advised to evacuate. While exiting, the second floor experienced a flashover (when an entire area suddenly ignites into flames). One firefighter was able to escape through a third-floor window. Two others became trapped on the second floor. Assistant chief Keenhold entered the building with a working hose line. With flames in his face, he was able to locate the two firefighters. He got the first one out and went back for the second, who had become disoriented. He located the firefighter when he hit him with his hose and led him out. All three firefighters suffered burns.
Spirit of Courage Award Winner:
Joseph J. Stepansky
Chief, Freeland Fire Department
Nominator: Cal Herring, engineer, Freeland Fire Department
On an early February morning, Chief Stepansky responded to a call for a house fire across the street from his home. He donned his equipment, raced to the scene and entered the home to search for the resident he knew was inside. The rear of the first floor was fully engulfed in fire. He searched the front room, and when the fire department arrived, two other firefighters joined the search but found no one. When the other two attempted to reach the second floor, they encountered intense heat and zero visibility. With pre-flashover conditions existing, one of the firefighters transmitted a mayday while the other firefighter took out a window, where a ladder awaited. They tried to reach it but were driven back to the floor by the intense heat. Chief Stepansky entered the home and began calling for them. The hand of one of the firefighters emerged through the smoke, and Stepansky pulled him out, while the other firefighter held onto his boot. He was able to get them out to the front porch, where they fell together down the steps. The firefighters sustained burns and other injuries. The resident of the home, who was on oxygen and had numerous stored cylinders that fueled the fire, did not survive.
Spirit of Courage Award Winner:
Todd Heckman
Chief, Williamsport Bureau of Fire
Nominator: Terrence Osborne, fire director (retired), Winslow Township Fire Department
Chief Heckman was off duty and returning home when he saw smoke about a block away from where he lives. He immediately drove to the house that was on fire, where he learned a woman was trapped on the second floor. He entered the home with no protective gear and made it to the second floor, where he began crawling as smoke and fire rolled toward him. He was driven back by the intense heat and smoke. Neighbors brought a ladder to the house just as he heard banging on the second-floor window. Heckman climbed up the ladder, broke the window with his portable radio and called out for the resident. He leaned in and grabbed her, pulling her through the window and onto the porch roof. She sustained burns but was alive, thanks to him.
Spirit of Courage Award Winners:
Larry Anderson
Constance Ehrhart
Emergency medical technician
Wellsville Volunteer Fire Company
Nominator: Assistant Chief Che Kerestes, Colonial Park Fire Company
Anderson and Ehrhart were off duty and running errands on a Friday evening when they saw sudden brake lights and sparks on Interstate 83 in front of them. A full-speed, out-of-control tractor trailer slammed into several cars that had slowed for construction, smashing them like an accordian and pinning several against the concrete barrier. One car burst into flames, and another started to burn in the middle of the highway. Wrecked cars and debris littered the road. Anderson and Ehrhart immediately began assessing the situation and tending to victims. The car crushed against the median was fully engulfed in flames, and they couldn't get near it. Ehrhart ran to the other burning car and found an unconscious man behind the wheel, with flames creeping toward him from the back. She and Anderson, with the help of another bystander, freed the man. Seeing that he had already succumbed to his injuries, they moved him away from the burning vehicle. Meanwhile, other bystanders had removed a critically wounded woman from the front passenger seat. Ehrhart began tending to her wounds with no medical supplies. Many bystanders jumped in to help, as Ehrhart kept people calm and away from danger. She tended to the injured woman and another injured couple, while Anderson moved through the scene to triage and help others who were injured. They stayed on the scene assisting for five hours, talking with bystanders about what they had just witnessed and how to recognize trauma-related problems. In all, three people died – a 24-year-old man and his 16-month old daughter, and a 22-year-old college student – six were hurt and 11 cars crushed in what authorities say was one of the most catastrophic vehicle accidents to occur along the Harrisburg Capital Beltway in 20 years.

Phoenix Award Winner:
Elizabeth Dideon Hess
Licensed clinical social worker and co-director, Camp Susquehanna
Nominated by Leah John, burn survivor, and Jennifer Nagle, RN, Lehigh Valley Health Network Regional Burn Center
Liz Dideon Hess is a burn survivor who has immeasurably touched the lives of other survivors and families. She has made it her mission to help survivors learn to cope with their new reality and to thrive as she has. Liz was a college student studying social work when she was burned in 2003. As a college athlete now in a wheelchair, she faced the same debilitating doubts and fears as other burn survivors. After completing an internship at Lehigh Valley Health Network Regional Burn Center, she followed her heart to become the first Burn Center social worker. During her eight years in this position, she created numerous programs to support survivors and their loved ones as well as Burn Center staff. She initiated the peer support program SOAR (Survivors Offering Aid in Recovery) and a monthly support group to help survivors understand and learn coping strategies for situations they may encounter. She started the burn survivor holiday party to help survivors and families celebrate their accomplishments and enjoy a festive event. She created the Great Balls of Fire Dodgeball Tournament to help send families to the Phoenix Society World Burn Congress every year. Much of her work has been directed toward helping children gain confidence and acceptance. Through the back-to-school program she helps prepare children to return to school and their pre-burn lives. As co-director of Camp Susquehanna, she has helped create a rare environment where children ages 6 to 17 can feel loved and accepted, learn tools for facing everyday challenges, build self-esteem and enjoy summertime fun in a safe environment. Now in private practice, Hess continues to touch the lives of survivors and loved ones, and use her experiences to heal, strengthen and grow those around her.

My Favorite Summer Porch (re-post)
It rests 'neath the cry of the hovering gull
It cradles the sigh of the noon-day lull
It stretches for miles as a welcome retreat
A planet of smiles and sandy feet
And the waves roll across its tempered floor
For the porch I love most is the summer sea-shore
There is no blue-bell climbing at my side
But there is the swell of the ceaseless tide
And there are no steps of wood or cement
But sand is kinder and where I am content
The wind sweeps across this endless floor
Oh, the porch I love most is a summer sea-shore
No telephone ringing, simply a breeze
And the rhythmic singing of the turquoise seas
No duty waiting, no chores to be done
But simply the beckoning of sand, sea and sun
Of all the grand porches this earth may boast
The porch on the sea-shore is the one I love most

Recipe inspired from: @cookieandkate.com
These fluffy, healthy pumpkin pancakes are laced with hearty oats and warming spices. Since they are made with oat flour, they are gluten free! Note that these pancakes should be cooked low and slow—use a lower temperature than you would with other pancakes so that the insides of the thick batter get nice and fluffy, but the outsides don't get overdone. Recipe yields 7 to 8 medium-sized pancakes

text: Canada, Mexico salesby David Zatz on September 5, 2017 at 11:35 am EDT FCA Canada reported a 9% drop in sales for August 2017, with 19,648 cars and trucks changing hands. Ram pickups and the Jeep® Compass set August sales records; the pickups' 8,043 sales (up 26% from last August) accounted for a huge chunk of the total. Alfa Romeo sold 70 Giulias and 45 Stelvios. The biggest percentage drops came from the Patriot (725 to 48), 200 (1,010 to 5), 300 (137 to 69), Journey (1,583 to 597), Caravan (4,040 to 2,684), Dart, and Fiat as a whole (172 to 78). Of these, the Journey and Caravan hurt the most. This was the worst August for FCA Canada/Chrysler Canada since 2011. However, year to date figures are down by just 3%, compared with January-August 2016. FCA México reported its best August in nine years, with 8,850 vehicles sold (up 13% from 2016), the opposite of FCA US's August. A large part of that came from newly added cars, made by Mitsubishi and Fiat and sold under the Dodge and Ram names. Chrysler had just 76 sales, all but four of them Pacificas. Dodge gained by 6% to 3,249, but nearly half of those were "badge engineered" Attitudes; and around a third were the also badge-engineered Vision and Neon. Jeep rose by 11%, to 1,006, and Ram rose by 15% to 2,043 (driven by the Fiat-based ProMaster Rapid and 700). Fiat had its best August ever, with 1,290 sales; and Mitsubishi had 1,147, most of which were the Mirage and L200 pickup. Mitsu sales were up by 20% and set an August record.

Update 0.8.0 Ship Balance Buffs and Changes
Reset and Retrain Commanders Free:
All upgrades that interact with aircraft or AA defenses will be demounted from your ships so that you can "pimp" your ships the way you like.
Ship Balance Changes:
We changed the Concealment Expert skill: ships of all types will now receive a 10% bonus. Previously, it equaled 16% for aircraft carriers, 14% for battleships, 12% for cruisers and 10% for destroyers.
Aftereffects for various types of ships:
- Destroyers will have more time to initiate a maneuver should they unexpectedly find themselves in a dangerous vicinity to a cruiser;
- Cruisers can be less fearful of battleships tweaked for better concealment;
- For battleships, this skill will no longer seem a must, allowing more flexibility in what concerns configuration choices.
This change to the skill will remove weird situations when a ship with huge dimensions could get a bigger bonus to concealment than a smaller-sized ship.
We'll keep a close eye on how these changes affect gameplay experience with these ships and take measures if needed.
Changes to Super-Cruisers:
In update 0.8.0, fire duration on certain large cruisers has been increased from 45 to 60 seconds. This change is systemic and affects the following ships: Kronshtadt, Stalingrad, Azuma and Alaska.
The excellent armor of these large cruisers created an excessive advantage in survival during long battles. With the correct positioning of the ships, the only way to deal a lot of damage to them is through setting fires. Increasing the time required to extinguish the fire for these cruisers will improve their combat efficiency compared to conventional cruisers, keeping their distinctive features: high damage from the main battery salvo, a well-armored citadel and a large amount of hit points.
Long Awaited Ship Buffs:
The ships listed below showed a statistical lag in comparison to other ships of their tier and type. Taking into account their individual characteristics, we made a number of balance edits with the intention of increasing their efficiency.
Japanese battleship Izumo, Tier IX:
- Increased the sigma parameter from 1.8 to 2.0 to achieve tighter grouping of shells inside the dispersion ellipse.
The battleship will become more potent in battle due to the increase in accuracy of the guns, compensating for the specific arrangement of the main battery.
Japanese battleship Kii, Tier VIII:
- Main Battery reload time was reduced from 31 to 30 seconds
- We changed the following parameters of torpedo armament:
- Range was increased from 6 to 10 km
- Speed was reduced from 63 to 62 kts
- Maximum damage was increased from 14,600 to 17,233
This turns Kii into a battleship with more opportunities to use her torpedo tubes, elevating them beyond being a weapon of "last resort". Previously using them required players to expose the ship's broadside to enemy fire, due to the restrictive launch angles.
Japanese battleship Nagato, Tier VII:
- Main Battery reload time was reduced from 32 to 30 seconds.
By reducing the reload time of the ship's guns, we emphasize the role of Nagato as a battleship with good maneuverability, with her small number of accurate guns coming at the cost of armor protection.
U.S. battleship Colorado, Tier VII:
- Increased the sigma parameter from 1.9 to 2.0.
The new sigma will distinguish the battleship as a slow ship with decent maneuverability, good armor, and a small number of accurate guns.
French battleship Dunkerque, Tier VI:
- Reduced the main gun reload time from 28 to 26 seconds.
Reducing the reload time will compensate for the small caliber of Dunkerque's main guns, making the battleship better balanced against other battleships at Tier VI.
U.K. battleship Hood, Tier VII:
- Increased the sigma parameter from 1.8 to 1.9, improving the ship's firing accuracy with a tighter grouping of shells inside the dispersion ellipse.
- AP fuse delay was increased from 0.015 to 0.033 seconds.
Due to the new fuse timing, armor-piercing shells will detonate more often inside the citadel of armored ships, but more frequent overpenetration of lightly armored targets should be expected.
French destroyer Aigle, Tier VI:
- Torpedo range was increased from 7 to 8 km.
Increasing the range of the torpedoes will grant the French destroyer a larger window within which to launch torpedoes whilst remaining unspotted by the enemy. This will allow for more opportunities in battle to strike battleships.
U.S. destroyer Mahan, Tier VII:
- Main Battery reload time was reduced from 4 to 3.3 seconds.
Despite the fact that the destroyer has one of the best damage-per-minute statistics for her tier, the specific ballistics of her guns often prevents this ship from realizing this advantage when engaging other destroyers. The new parameter won't change the features of her main battery ballistics, but will significantly increase her efficiency in combat with enemy destroyers at close range.
U.S. destroyer Sims, Tier VII:
- The stock torpedo stats were changed:
- Range was increased from 5.5 to 7 km
- The alternative torpedo stats were changed:
- Range was increased from 9.2 to 10.5 km
- Maximum damage was increased from 8,500 to 9,667
- Reload time was increased from 72 to 76 seconds
Changing the characteristics of the stock and alternative torpedoes emphasizes the difference between the two styles of gameplay available to Sims:
- "High risk, high reward" gameplay, employing torpedoes with a short range and good speed, capable of causing a great deal of damage.
- The comparatively safe option with a longer range, meaning that torpedoes can be fired from a greater distance, but with less damage and low-speed.
Soviet destroyers Ognevoi, Tier VIII, and Udaloi, Tier IX:
- "Repair Party" consumable was added to an extra slot:
- Number of charges: 1 (Repair Party I) and 2 (Repair Party II)
- Reload time: 120 (Repair Party I) and 80 (Repair Party II) seconds
- Duration: 28 seconds
- HP regeneration speed: 0.5% of HP per second
Soviet destroyer Kiev, Tier VIII:
- "Repair Party" consumable was added to the slot with "Smoke Generator":
- Number of charges: 2 (Repair Party I) and 3 (Repair Party II)
- Reload time: 120 (Repair Party I) and 80 (Repair Party II) seconds
- Duration: 28 seconds
- HP regeneration speed: 0.5% of HP per second
Adding the "Repair Party" consumable will allow for more effective duels with enemy destroyers, making the progression to Tier X more logical.

Thoughts About Happiness and Stress
Edith Kramer as a child, with her Grandmother.
As part of my campaign to bring more creativity, joy, and subversive happiness into my life, I've been going through my slide collection and creating scans. Once scanned I can use photoshop and have the most amazing fun! So this is formerly a slide of Edith and her grandmother. She assured me it was very posed. But I do love it. There's something very special about the relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter. I'm all for it!
Then I got some downloadable images from Art-E-Zine for supporting the website. More fun. More play. More subversive happiness:
This tricycle e-wisdom came yesterday morning, with a most interesting topic of happiness and stress:
"As soon as we become attached to any idea--happiness, success or whatever--there is already some stress. Clinging is itself a stressful state, and everything that derives from it is also stressful. For example, try to clench your hand to make a fist. As soon as you start to clench your hand, you have to use energy to keep your fingers clenched tightly. When you let go of the clenching, your hand is free again. So it is with the mind. When it is in such a state of clenching, it can never be free. It can never experience peace or happiness, even if one has all the wealth, fame and power in the world." --Thynn Thynn, Living Meditation, Living Insight
So instead of clinging to an idea, why not create the things that make you smile. Create a visually pleasing still life for the table where you take your meals.
Then while you have your next meal, pay attention to the still life. Notice its various aspects; colors, textures, line. Notice the overall feeling. Know that this is a gift you created for yourself, for your own enjoyment.
No clinging, no stress. Just a pleasant meal made a little more pleasant by you for you.
Jug and flowers from Edith Kramer's home in Austria.
I create this collage of Tintern Abbey and Flowers. It makes me smile.

This week is officially National Chocolate Week, but I mean seriously, when isn't it? All set for cosy time, I've teamed up with Maza to bring you their delicious almond butter hot chocolate recipe.
A gluten and dairy free delight, this simple recipe is sumptuous and warming, not to mention totally divine. Sweetened naturally, Maza chocolate is made from cacao beans and cacao butter. Intense real chocolate, the smell and tastes are equally decadent.
Getting away from high sugar content foods has been a big aim for me this year, as I'm just not a fan of too many processed bites. It can be tricky and I'm certainly no healthy food angel, but it's worth cutting back on refined sugar, simply to see your energy levels soar. Removing the ridiculous cravings, by reducing sugar I've felt less sluggish and have definitely not missed those horrible energy spikes and crashes. Maza are a definite go-to for gorgeous, real chocolate.
Ready to snuggle up with, I'd seriously suggest making a large mug of their almond butter hot chocolate. Their yummy flavours include Dark, Almond and Coconut, with the luxurious option to also indulge in a three bar gift pack. Count me in.
So, to make some Maza almond butter hot chocolate, all you need is:
1 cup of almond milk
A very generous spoonful or 2 of smooth Almond Butter
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
About 4-5 pieces of MAZA Chocolate – any flavour
1tsp palmyra nectar powder or sweetener of choice to taste
Simply warm the milk in the pan and pour it into your favourite mug over the broken chocolate, palmyra nectar, cinnamon and almond butter, before mixing thoroughly to produce the heavenly elixir.
I can see this recipe taking us right through autumn, winter and beyond.
Find out more from Maza over at mazachocolate.co.uk.

BlockchainEthereumICO ReviewsNewsSmart Contract
Faceter Morethanwatches You!
Big brother is watching you? How about he instantly recognizes you and others around you?
Of course, by Big Brother I simply refer to camera, no biggies. He has become smarter over the years evolving into Faceter: a brained and eyed system, just like a brother watching after you.
Let's face it, public safety has become of a major importance nowadays.
Faceter recognizes all the issues related to surveillance systems and takes video surveillance to whole new level. Mainly, it makes video surveillance smart via the facial recognition, identification of objects and video analysis in real time. It's as if it gives eyes to the camera via computer vision.
As someone who is fond of Science fiction series, I thought at the start that it would the subject of a Black Mirror episode.
But, Robert Pothier, the CEO's presentation of Faceter changed my mind; he can tell you more about it:
Giving Eyes to Camera:
Don't confuse it with facial identification already existing on mobile phones laptops: which identifies you as the owner of the device and unlocks it for you. What Faceter proposes is to identify several identities present in one video in real time.
Along with the facial identification, it also makes instant behavioral analysis that allows the user to detect danger or some interesting facial expressions. Since it functions via neural networks, Faceter can be manipulated that it responds when it detects particular actions or events.
The content remains confidential since the camera sends a distorted version by means of data obfuscation that can't be recovered thanks to neural networks.
It's pretty interesting that miners are implied into a decentralized network to make the math vis-à-vis the identification which makes more revenues for the miners and less costs for the users. Or miners, it's win-win, they simply would need to loan their equipments to Faceter, and in turn make money 2.5 times faster than Ethereum exploitation.
Faceter functions on the blockchain technology, via a totally decentralized system. Currently, it makes use of smart contracts that makes the payment flexible and easy and in harmony with B2B clients.
Here's how it operates:
Face tokens and Token sale
To make that identification possible, giant and expensive calculators need to be implemented. But, it was replaceable with existing and effective mining solutions.
Face tokens plays a double-agent role: it is both the money received from clients once they see the efficiency of the system and the reward to miners. As illustrated here:
The presale went as high as 10,000.000 dollars just during the 20 first seconds. The selling is compatible with ETH, BTC, LTC, DASH, XEM, BCH. So far, 251,609,195 FACE are sold, the token sale is ongoing until 30th March.
Well, I don't know about you, but for me, it echoes some works in the gaming and movie industry which evolve around the same idea. But they present the technology in a scary mood, take Watch Dogs as an example.
Thanks God, reality is brighter than fiction!

The Cyn & Raphael Novellas: Betrayed, Hunted, Unforgiven, and Compelled (Vampires in America)
- €6.99
- €6.99
Publisher Description
Together in one collection . . .
BETRAYED, HUNTED, UNFORGIVEN, and COMPELLED: The Cyn & Raphael Novellas
These novellas can stand alone or be enjoyed as part of the series.
BETRAYED: Vampires in America 5.5
War has come to the North American vampires, and Vampire Lords are reaching across territorial lines to strengthen allies and weaken enemies. The most powerful Lord of them all, Raphael, could change the course of the war and determine who raises the final banner of victory. But at what price? And will his mate, Cyn, be the one to pay it?
HUNTED: Vampires in America 6.5
The Lord of the Midwest is dead, and the powerful vampires of North America are gathering to choose his successor. The Vampire Council will be there to oversee the competition--each of them focused on keeping the violence to a bloody minimum, including Raphael, who will do whatever it takes to ensure the victor is a vampire he can trust. But someone is hunting, determined to stop Raphael and his mate, Cyn, from ever reaching Chicago.
Soon, the hunter may become . . . the hunted.
UNFORGIVEN: Vampires in America 7.5
War is imminent, and a spy has infiltrated Raphael's estate. But his target is not Raphael; it's his sister, Alexandra, whose earlier duplicity nearly cost Cyn her life. Raphael and Cyn are determined to play the spy's game, traveling to Mexico to discover who their enemy is and just how far he'll go to win. But once Raphael finds his sister, can he take the chance that she won't betray him again?
COMPELLED: Vampires in America 10.5
It was only a few months ago that Raphael lay helpless and dying, taken by treachery, while Cyn fought to save him. Unexpectedly, it was Nick who provided the key to his freedom. In exchange, he secured a promise that they would help him find and recover the same magical artifact that had been used to imprison Raphael. But when he calls on them to keep that promise, it will be Cyn who pays the price.
Torn between the two powerful men, struggling to keep them from killing each other, she undertakes a desperate search that will find her fighting for her life against a madman who wants her for himself.
