Great dental care plays a significant role in your overall health as well as your oral health. By staying up-to-date on your yearly dental examinations, you proactively keep your smile looking and functioning as it should, including the ability to speak and eat comfortably. At Made Ya Smile Dental, Dr. Jireh Yue performs annual dental examinations to diagnose and treat dental problems early on to prevent the need for more costly treatments and procedures. Comprehensive examinations are extremely thorough and screen for gum (periodontal) disease, oral cancer, tooth decay, TMJ problems, and any other concern that may impact your smile. We also provide a special assessment for the jaw joints, bite, and jawbone health.
A dental exam allows our experts to give you undivided attention to understand your unique needs and concerns. Dr. Yue uses minimally invasive methods to approach your care, including the use of digital x-rays and intraoral images to check areas of the teeth and gums that are not always visible on the surface during a clinical exam. Made Ya Smile Dental gives you access to high-quality care, which is why we offer you and members of your family to schedule your consultation in Houston, TX.
Oral Cancer Screening
Unfortunately, thousands of people are diagnosed with oral cancer each year. Made Ya Smile Dental has a team of caring professionals who are trained to identify any symptoms of oral cancer and screen for this condition. At your annual dental visits, we look for areas in the mouth that might indicate signs of precancerous or cancerous tissue, along with anything that seems suspicious or abnormal. Dr. Yue checks the face, neck, tongue, throat, cheeks, lips, the hard and soft palates, the roof of the mouth, and palpate salivary gland. If there is are unusual raised areas or lesions, discolored patches, lumps, or sores, we may partner with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to biopsy the area and determine if more treatment is required.
Dental Exam Reviews
"There are so many great things to say about this Dental office. They have cookies and drinks in the lobby. All of the workers were always smiling as asking if You need anything. They were very thorough with the examination and cleaning. They brought me a blanket to cover my legs because I was cold. The assistant carried my purse and hung it up for me. The chairs have massage and heat settings. I got a free teeth whitening kit for being a first time patient. They answered all of my questions and took extra time on teeth that I was concerned about. Pam was the hygienist and she was amazing, my teeth feel great! They gave me a completely different experience than what I received at "la rosa dental." Send your whole family here ! Tell them I sent you"- C.L. / Yelp / Feb 18, 2016

Best Candidates for Dental Exam
No matter your age, all patients should have a yearly dental examination, which can be provided at the same time as one of your twice-yearly dental cleanings. Made Ya Smile Dental follows the American Dental Association's (ADA) recommendation that children have their first visit to the dentist by their first birthday. During this appointment, we offer helpful information on pacifiers, thumbsucking habits, and issues such as baby bottle tooth decay. Our team of experts can also show you the best ways to keep their mouth, teeth, and gums healthy while their jaw develops. We enjoy helping children and parents to give them the best start possible for a healthy smile.
Dr. Yue will also screen for problems such as tooth decay, bite issues, gum disease, and any loose or broken restorations like bridges or crowns. Some concerns, such as gum disease, may not present any symptoms like discomfort or pain, but may still affect your smile. Regular exams allow our staff to diagnose and treat these issues as early as possible, often reducing the need for more extensive care in the future. We hope to provide you with the tools you need for optimal oral health and a comfortable smile.
What To Expect
Comprehensive exams begin with a complete review of your medical and dental history, any concerns or changes in your health, and any medications or supplements you may be taking. Dr. Yue will assess the function of your jaw joints (TMJ), how your upper and lower teeth fit together, and perform an oral cancer evaluation. We will then examine each tooth for decay and damage as well as loose implants, crowns, fillings, bridges, or other restorations as needed. Made Ya Smile Dental also performs a screening for gum disease to make sure you are not showing signs of periodontal infection.
To begin, we take low-radiation digital x-rays and review these images with you to determine the health of your teeth and jaw bone. Along with your gum disease screening results, these images can help Dr. Yue determine if you have periodontal disease, cysts, or abscesses within the bone. They are also useful to view areas of decay we may not be able to see on the surface, such as in between teeth or under fillings. Made Ya Smile Dental takes x-rays when necessary to minimize your exposure and improve your safety. We may also use an intraoral camera to examine the hard-to-see areas in your mouth for a better understanding of your treatment requirements. After we have completed your annual dental exam, we will show you our findings and review treatment options to make sure your oral health and smile are in top shape.
At Made Ya Smile Dental, patients can receive their annual dental exam at the same time as one of their biannual cleaning visits. Based on your individual needs, however, Dr. Yue may suggest visiting our clinic more frequently, especially if you have issues such as gum disease. Maintaining your teeth and gums by brushing and flossing daily is essential to the appearance and health of your smile. During your regular appointments with our team in Houston, TX, we will personalize oral hygiene instructions so you can care for your teeth at home, especially any areas of concern that need more attention. Our expert staff wants you to achieve long-lasting oral health and the benefits of a beautiful smile with comprehensive care.
Insurance Coverage
Annual dental exams are considered preventive care, which means they are usually covered by most dental insurance providers. Made Ya Smile Dental will call your provider and review your complete list of benefits. If you do not have insurance or have out-of-pocket expenses, we can review our flexible options for payment. Our team wants every member of your family to get the dental care needed for a better smile. We accept most PPO plans as well as third-party financing through CareCredit® to make getting the treatment you need convenient and affordable.
Annual Dental Exams
Dr. Yue and his team keep your teeth and gums healthy so you can enjoy a comfortable smile both now and well into the future. Even if you are not showing any symptoms of a dental problem, it's essential that your gums, teeth, and oral tissues are assessed every year to identify concerns early. This helps you save time, money, and more extensive procedures. Get the preventive care you need for long-lasting oral health in a welcoming environment. Contact the professionals at Made Ya Smile Dental in Houston, TX to schedule comprehensive dental exams for your family.

My World: Harvest, a bumper crop of songs for celebrating the autumn harvest, and The Niki Davies Book of Songs for Autumn and Winter…
Reviewed by John Dabell
There is plenty to celebrate during harvest season and schools traditionally play a big part. The harvest festival, also known as the harvest home, is a time for singing and rejoicing so music plays a big part too. It's the closest thing we have to a day of thanksgiving.
We mustn't forget to say a great big thank you at this time of the year and helping us do just that is My World: Harvest (from £19.95) – a musical masterpiece from Out of the Ark Music.
This is just the celebratory type of resource we need in our school ecosystems to come together and give thanks.
There are a dozen delightful songs on offer, all written by some of Britain's most popular children's songwriters. The songs are superbly sung by children and all benefit from slick and professional backing tracks that combine together to make a top-quality package.
Titles include 'Harvest Hoedown', 'I'm A Scarecrow', 'We've Got Tomatoes' and 'I Can Eat a Rainbow'. My favourite is 'Little Mouse' because it's the ideal song for getting children doing some acting and performing.
All the songs offer more than just singing and music, as they are all drama-rich with opportunities galore for being creative and making stories. These are songs to be sung and performed with gusto, to celebrate the harvest, life and a good year in store.
Harvest festival is a great opportunity to engage children with food and the songs combine beautifully with activities beyond singing. The resource comes as a Teacher's Book and this contains the lyrics, music scores and food-for-thought teacher notes and suggestions, including plenty of cross-curricular ideas.
Some resources have all the personality of a packet of instant mashed potato, but not this one. This is like getting a basket of locally sourced fresh fruit and vegetables – colourful, tasty, wholesome and inviting.
User-friendly, flexible and pitched perfectly at early years, My World: Harvest celebrates diversity, pays reverence to nature and God, and makes harvest meaningful by reminding children they are part of a connected world.
The songs and music are a fabulous collection and will contribute to a real spirit of thankfulness, unity and to celebrate the value of life itself.
Also available is a delightful Autumn and Winter collection of songs (from £23.95) that helps children savour the seasons and observe changes in the weather.
It's a clever compilation because it combines music with plenty of science, maths, art and PE, and helps children learn about transition, time and the unique characteristics and environmental changes of key seasons.
From 'Pumpkin Head' and 'Big Red Combine Harvester' to 'Put Your Coat On' and 'Snowdrop', each of the 20 songs are catchy, cheery and ideal for developing basic listening skills, building core skills and inspiring plenty of discussion and singing!
You are looking for an inclusive celebratory resource that will spark children's interest in harvest and provide them with golden opportunities to sing, perform and to think about seasonal changes and the importance of food in our daily life.

Two of the 57 girls who managed to escape from the clutches of Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram in 2014, have recently received their high school diplomas.
Joy Bishara and Lydia Pogu were abducted alongside over 250 of their classmates from their boarding school in Chibok, Nigeria three years ago. The girls were sleeping when they were invaded by gunmen shouting "Allahu Akbar". The Boko Haram terrorists then proceeded to burn down the school and forcefully cart off the students to trucks.
"We were all crying and screaming. They told us to keep quiet or they're going to kill us. So they start to shoot their guns up on top of us, making us quiet. All of us were scared. We were just holding each other," Bishara said in an interview for People Magazine.
The girls were given an ultimatum – they could run away and die or get on a truck and leave with the terrorists.
Eventually, Bishara and Pogu managed to jump off their moving truck under the cover of dust clouds, find each other in the bush and flag down a passing motorcyclist, who took them back to Chibok so they could return to their families.
Still terrified of being recaptured, the girls sought the aid of a human rights group in Virginia – the Jubilee Campaign – and moved to the United States to continue pursuing their education. Now the girls are recent graduates of Canyonville Christian Academy and both gave speeches at the ceremony. In the fall, they will be attending Southeastern University in Florida and have started a GoFundMe to help with their expenses. Pogu aspires to be a lawyer to give silenced individuals a voice, while Bishara wants to be a doctor so that she can heal and save lives.
Unfortunately, in the three years since the Boko Haram kidnapping, media coverage of the event has steadily decreased. Obviously, in the immediate wake of the incident, this story was at the forefront of international news outlets across the globe, prompting huge public outrage. A hashtag campaign titled #BringBackOurGirls was ignited, receiving support from prominent celebrities and activists such as former U.S First Lady Michelle Obama and Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai. But media outlets, particularly mainstream American media, now continue to provide little to no coverage on such events, along with other real human rights abuses such as female genital mutilation, forced marriage, rape and abduction, which are still happening to women all over the world.
Although Boko Haram released 82 girls last month, a staggering 113 are still missing. These girls have been subjected to abduction, rape, forced marriage, indoctrination and possibly many other monstrosities that the world is falling in the trap of ignoring. In March 2017, Human Rights Watch Nigeria Senior Researcher Mausi Segun wrote that parents of the still-missing children had not heard anything from the government after a list of names was sent to them of all the unreleased girls.
Although the outcomes of such tragic incidents remain largely out of our control as distant masses, the least we can do is continue to raise awareness, respect and acknowledge the victims' traumas and triumphs, and continue to discuss and speak out against such violations of women's rights through the many media vehicles we possess.

Set your bullet journal and yourself up for success in the coming year. Here are my top 5 tips for starting a bullet journal in 2020.
This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my Disclosure for more information.
It's a little bit crazy to think that 2019 is coming to a close. But there's something magical about the last couple months leading up to a new year in the bullet journal community.
Instagram becomes populated with intricate monthly spreads and cover pages. It's as if inspiration has risen among the planners and creatives.
And, it's also a common time for people to start thinking about their New Year's Resolutions. One of the top 10 most common New Year's Resolutions is to 'organize your life'.
This is when many people turn to Google and Pinterest to find organization methods like planning systems and, of course, the bullet journal system.
At first look, the bullet journal may seem intimidating. But, with these top 5 tips for starting a new bullet journal in 2020, I hope you will feel confident stepping into the new year.
5 Tips for Starting a Bullet Journal in 2020
This post is definitely catered to beginners and those who are just hearing about the bullet journal system. If you've spent some time on Pinterest researching the topic, you might be a bit confused about where to start or how to proceed.
This is normal and with all the collections pages and bullet journal ideas floating around, it can feel like a whirlwind of options you have to choose from.
I want this guide to not only help you start a bullet journal, but also keep your bullet journal and enjoy the time you spend in it.
1). Start With a Good Journal
This is honestly one of the most important pieces of advice on the list. It may seem insignificant if you are just starting out, but the journal you choose is going to play a huge role in whether or not you like bullet journaling.
Getting the wrong journal could mean:
- Inks bleeding through
- Ghosting
- Not enough pages
- Flimsy covers that won't protect your pages
- You end up not wanting to create anything due to poor paper quality and the above-mentioned issues
Starting with a good journal right from the start will give you peace of mind and set you up for success in your bullet journal. You won't have to worry about spending an hour or more on a spread to find out it bled through to the other side of the paper.
Now, the hard part is distinguishing what a good journal is. What makes a journal or a notebook good quality? Below are a few questions to help you decide.
- What size will work for your lifestyle and what you want to create? A5 (roughly half-letter), B5 (a little bigger than A5), or Full Letter Size.
- Is the color of the paper important to you? Are you okay with off-white paper or do you want bright white paper?
- What types of mediums do you think you will use in your bullet journal? Pens and markers, watercolors and calligraphy inks?
- How long do you want your bullet journal to last? Most people I've spoken to say that a standard journal with around 170 pages lasts them 6 months.
- What is your price range?
- Do you prefer hardcover or soft-cover?
- Is cover color or additional add-ons (pen loop, elastic closure, interior pocket, etc.) important to you?
To help you find a bullet journal that matches your specific needs, I have written a thorough guide for a number of top journals below.
2020 Bullet Journal Notebooks Reviews and Specs
The notebooks below are listed in order of quality (in my opinion). Be sure to pay attention to the details and specs of each notebook to see what fits your needs. The pros and cons are not black and white. What I might think is a con might be a pro to you.
Archer & Olive
This company and their notebooks are at the top of my list because they truly hit all the benchmarks of a superior notebook. In fact, they may be the only notebook that offers brilliant white paper that is bleed proof. Additionally, they offer
- Bright white paper
- 160gsm paper
- Linen hardcover with minimalistic foil design
- Pen loop
- Elastic closure
- Interior pocket
- Two ribbon bookmarks
- Lay-flat design
- Some variety in colors
- Lots of design variety
- Available in A5, B5, and B6
- No page numbers
- Unavailable from many retailers.
- More Expensive ($35+Shipping)
Scribbles That Matter Pro No-Bleed
While I can't personally vouch for Scribbles That Matter, yet, I have done my fair share of research on the notebooks. Just recently, they released a pro notebook with premium 160gsm no-bleed paper. According to multiple reviews, the paper is whiter in comparison to the older versions with a cream-colored paper.
*Note: This is the PRO version with 160gsm no-bleed paper. If you find an older version of the notebook, it may not have these same specs.
- 150+ numbered pages
- 160gsm paper
- Pen loop
- Elastic closure
- 2 ribbon bookmarks
- Interior pocket
- Lay-flat design
- Available in A5 &B5
- Some variety of colors
- Built-in index and pen test
- Not bright white paper
- Mid-range $21-$25 (plus free shipping with Amazon Prime free 30-Day Trial)
TUL Discbound
After using a TUL for months, I've really come to appreciate it. This notebook does not come with dot grid paper, but you can order some from Etsy. The TUL Discbound System is so flexible and forgiving for those who aren't fans of commitment.
You can add and take out pages as you desire. Change the size of the discs to increase capacity. And you can rearrange pages after creating them.
If you are interested in having a discbound journal like the TUL, I encourage you to read this post.
Also, you can get printed and pre-punched 120gsm dot grid paper for the TUL here. Select Size 6 (Junior) for Junior notebook and Size 8 (Letter) for US Letter notebook.
- Flexible organization
- Sturdy cover
- Beautiful pebbled leather finish
- Ability to change out paper
- Never have to buy a new notebook again; just the paper
- Pen loop
- Interior pockets
- Ability to buy paper refills that fit your needs
- Available in Junior (A5) or Letter size
- Expensive startup ($30+ for notebook and additional $10-$15 for paper)
- Discs can get in the way when drawing
*Paper is listed above.
I have used multiple Leuchtturm notebooks. While I no longer think they rule the bullet journal world, they are still among the best. Their longstanding reputation for consistent quality notebooks definitely sets them apart from many new businesses popping up and not paying attention to quality control.
- 249 numbered pages
- 80gsm cream paper
- Blank table of contents
- Elastic closure
- 2 ribbon bookmarks
- Interior pocket
- Hardcover
- Available in A4, A5, Pocket
- Tons of color options
- Affordable ($20)
- Some reviews mention ghosting
- Cream-colored paper
(Not So) Funny Story: I used to swear by Nuuna and recommend them to everyone, which is what I am using as my current bullet journal. However, I no longer recommend them as they changed their paper quality to a Munken Paper that ghosts and bleed with every marker on the market. To top it off, their notebooks cost more than all of the notebooks listed above.
I started my newest one in October 2019 and am already planning on starting a different bullet journal for 2020. So, I advise you to find a different notebook if you had been eyeing a Nuuna.
2). Don't Buy Supplies Just to "Fit In"
My level of embarrassment when I tell people how many pens and markers I own and how many I actually use is enough to make me want to crawl in a hole. Okay, not that bad, but it's not a comfortable conversation.
There are tons of 'influencers' pushing specific brands and markers on Instagram. You'll see big names plastering ads on their feed. But, here's the real tea…
There are usually 10 other options that are less expensive or better in quality.
I found myself in the trap of buying new markers and pens just to be part of the 'cool journaler's club'. Then I would test them out and put them in my marker file never to be touched again.
Because they weren't what I really wanted or would use. So, the moral of the story is to find supplies you love and invest in those. For me, Tombow Dual Brush Pens are my main squeeze and now I know that when I want to buy new markers, that's how I'm going to spend my money.
Until you have found your footing with what makes you happy, start small. Try Crayola Supertips as an alternative to Tombows. They have a wide variety of colors, can do brush lettering, and have good payoff for the low price point. Another great affordable option for brush pens is Arteza.
Rather than buying 50 rolls of washi tape, buy 1-2, or a cheaper set so you can figure out if washi tape is your thing or not. I know a ton of people like it, but I own about 60+ rolls and use a strip or two a few times a year. I've used washi tape to draw on perfect winged eyeliner more times than I've used it in my bullet journal.
Recommended Beginner Bullet Journal Supplies
This is not a concrete list that you have to get in order to be successful. Rather, a recommended list of bullet journal supplies for you to consider. As long as you have a notebook and a pen, you are golden. All the other stuff is extra and should come at a time that makes sense financially and that is something that will really fuel your desire to create.
- Black Fineline Pens: Black fineliners were among one of my first purchases when I started bullet journaling and I haven't looked back since. I'm a huge fan of Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens and Tombow Mono Drawing Pens.
- A Ruler Set: You can purchase an individual ruler anywhere for less than $1. When I first started out, I used the edge of a DVD case because I couldn't find a ruler and leaving the house with a toddler was something I avoided at all costs. But, if you can splurge an extra couple dollars I highly recommend getting a ruler set with different drawing tools like circles, squares, etc. This set includes circles, squares, and rectangles.
- Coloring Supplies: This is where you have to make some tough decisions. Markers, pens, colored pencils? The choice is up to you. And there are tons of brands that range drastically in price. So find one that works for you. As I mentioned, I love Tombow Dual Brush Pens, but they are on the pricey side. A great budget-friendly option is Crayola Supertips. And the great thing is that you can get them just about anywhere.
3). Just Start on Page 1
So often, people message me on Instagram and Facebook and I swear I can hear the panic in their messages. They just bought this new journal and have been so excited about bullet journaling… BUT they are too scared to start. Or they don't know where to start or how.
I tell them, "start on page 1".
It sounds simple and like I'm blowing off their panic. I'm not. I understand the anxiousness that comes from starting something and setting high expectations. And the one thing I have learned that has helped me get past those moments is to start at the beginning.
You don't have to have it all figured out right away. In fact, most of us don't have it figured out 150 pages in. So, start with page 1. Once that index or future log or whatever you want to create is done, that starter's anxiety will slowly start to diminish.
Here are a few great ideas for the first page of your bullet journal
- A quote. Pinterest is an excellent source of quotes. Find something that embodies what you are working towards this coming year and put it on the first page in your journal.
- A word. I don't remember seeing is as frequently last year, but picking a word of the year is very motivational and empowering. Choose a word that represents your goals, desires, etc. Scroll it on the first page and look at it whenever you need a reminder of why you are on your journey.
- A piece of art or a pattern. Get that starter's anxiety out of the way with a piece of hand-drawn or painted art. Another fun way to start your journal creatively is with patterns. You can check out this post for pattern ideas to use in your bullet journal.
- Key Page: Where functionality and productivity begin. Create a key page for your bullet journal with different checkboxes for tasks, events, reminders, ideas, etc. You can even color-code it!
- Index: Sometimes the easiest way to start is with a simple header and some columns. Just add some vertical lines for page number, the title of the page, and anything else you want to keep track of here and then add a header in your style choice.
4). Do a Pen Test Page
My pen test page is usually just a random page at the back of my journal that I scribble on with different markers and then jot down the name next to the scribble. Many people have legitimate pen test pages that are nicely laid out or made creative with doodles.
It doesn't matter which method you gravitate towards. But, I highly recommend that you create a pen test page to save yourself grief later on.
Since switching to the new–and flimsy Nuuna, I have experienced my fair share of heartbreak. Being in a rush to create something and not testing a pen beforehand has left me with large spots that have bled through and ruined the page behind it. Don't be like me.
Another reason to make a pen test page is to see the true color of a pen or marker in your notebook. Depending on the color of the paper and the actual marker will determine what a specific color looks like. The caps are not always an accurate reflection of the color on paper, so it's wise to test ahead of time.
Here are some quick tips for creating a pen test page:
- Test different colors. Some colors tend to be more saturated and 'wet' than other colors. Reds are typically a culprit of bleeding through.
- Make different strokes. Use a fast stroke and slower stroke. For lettering you might move your pen quickly, but when coloring you may move slowly, allowing the pen to stay in the same place longer.
- Label your pen tests. This might seem obvious, but I know I have been in a hurry and not labeled my test marks, which resulted in having to retest. This will also help you pick colors for a theme or spread later on.
- Don't put your pen test on page with an important page behind it. Again, this may seem obvious. But, you don't want to end up with a bunch of bleed marks on your important spread.
5). Learn How to Fix Your Mistakes
I don't think I've talked much about this in the past because I've always said, "just roll with it." But, I'm aware that not everyone wants to roll with their mistakes.
In fact, as I was just drawing my November 2019 calendar, I messed up a few of the lines and it was driving me crazy. So, rather than roll with it, I decided to fix it.
There are a number of simple ways to fix a mistake. Take note of a few of these methods before starting a bullet journal in 2020 to save some frustration down the road.
How to fix mistakes in your bullet journal:
- A White Pen. For small mistakes, this is a pretty solid option. It won't completely cover up larger mistakes and you may be able to see some color show through. But, overall I think having a white pen on hand is a great way to counter mistakes. I really like the Gelly Roll White Gel Pen and the Uniball Signo.
- Washi Tape. For larger mistakes or mistakes made in a header, washi tape works wonders. Be sure to use a darker colored washi to cover dark ink. Lighter washi tape can be used but may require two strips to totally cover the mistake.
- Paper and Adhesive Tape. One of my favorite methods for covering up larger mistakes or areas of bleed-through is cutting a single page from the back of my notebook and then cutting it down to fit over the spot and taping it into place. Try to line up your dots to create a seamless finish. I use Tombow Mono Adhesive as it's permanent, easy to apply, and won't leave you with edges that are lifting.
- Coloring Page or Printable. If it's a really large mistake that can't be fixed with one of the methods above, you can print out a coloring page in half-letter size (close to A5) or a bullet journal printable and glue or tape it directly over the page.
When I first started bullet journaling I wanted to be right up there with the big dogs. I was dead set on creating perfect doodles and amazing brush lettering. But, I was trying to teach myself from Pinterest and other bloggers and Instagrammers.
Later down the road, when I gained confidence and felt like I had found my footing in the creative side of bullet journaling, I decided it was time to help others quickly accomplish what took me over a year. So, I made a few different online courses for those who want to speed up the creative process.
If this is you, check out my list of online courses here. All come with lifetime access and a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee if you aren't satisfied.
And if you have any questions before enrolling–or about anything in this post, please don't hesitate to reach out to me via email or social media.
I hope you found this post helpful and feel confident starting a bullet journal in 2020. Follow me on Facebook for more tips and helpful posts.
I'd love if you wanted to leave me a comment and share this with your friends and family on Pinterest and Facebook.

Someone at the Supreme Court got an assignment last week: start drafting a majority opinion to answer the question whether a for-profit company can claim a religious exemption from the federal requirement to include particular products in any employee insurance plan.
That's Hobby Lobby, of course (along with its companion case, Conestoga Wood Specialties). Did the way I just described it, without mentioning birth control, make a difference to the valence of the case?
The products at issue, as everyone knows, are the contraceptives that the two corporations' owners object to covering under their employee health plans. But once launched, one of dozens of such attacks on the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate, the case was never going to be so narrowly confined, as last week's argument made clear. How about vaccinations? Justice Sonia Sotomayor wanted to know. How about blood transfusions? Justice Elena Kagan observed: "So one religious group could opt out of this, and another religious group could opt out of that, and everything would be piecemeal and nothing would be uniform." Indeed.
Naturally, I'd like to know which justice got the majority-opinion assignment. To know the identity of any one of eight potential authors would be to know the outcome, although not necessarily the breadth or rationale of the eventual opinion. The exception, of course, is a ninth justice, Anthony M. Kennedy. To learn that he received the assignment would amount to being condemned to breath-holding until June. To be able predict the outcome, it would be vital to know what Justice Kennedy thinks the case is about.
During the argument, he asked Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the solicitor general, whether under the government's theory of the case, a for-profit corporation "could be forced in principle to pay for abortions." The logic of the government's position required Mr. Verrilli to say yes — while pointing out that "in fact, the law is the opposite." That exchange led some supporters of contraception coverage to shudder: "Watch out, Kennedy thinks the case is about abortion." I don't think that's a necessary or even accurate reading. It was a question that someone needed to ask, as the solicitor general surely expected.
But no one sought to discuss the question that was almost surely on the justices' minds, Justice Kennedy's in particular: how the Hobby Lobby case relates to gay rights.
By an exquisite coincidence of timing, the court, at the exact moment it begins to sort out the Hobby Lobby case, also has before it a case illustrating how readily a claim of religious conscience can, if upheld, become a license for discrimination against gay men and lesbians. This second case is Elane Photography v. Willock, which I wrote about a month ago.
In this case, from New Mexico, the owner of a commercial photography studio, specializing in wedding and event photography, claims a religious objection to same-sex marriage. She refused to do business with a lesbian couple who wanted to hire her to photograph their commitment ceremony. (Same-sex marriage was not yet legal in New Mexico.) The state's human rights law forbids discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in places of public accommodation, a category that includes businesses that sell goods or services to paying customers. The couple sued in state court and won.
Elane Photography's Supreme Court appeal isn't framed as freedom of religion, but rather freedom of speech. Its argument is that because photography is an expressive medium, a photographer needs to be able to choose how to express herself, and New Mexico's nondiscrimination requirement therefore amounts to government-compelled speech, a violation of the First Amendment. (The state argues in response that the photographer remains free to post a notice or in other ways to give vent to her disagreement with the antidiscrimination law.) The notion that photography is not just any old business has an instinctive appeal, until you consider the implications; florists and bakers are in court raising similar claims, and the list of objectors and their objections would certainly grow if Elane prevails.
Despite its free-speech garb, the religious essence of Elane's argument is clear, underscored by the fact that the company is represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, an "alliance-building legal ministry" that takes as its mission to "defend the religious freedom that was bestowed upon us by God." Formerly called the Alliance Defense Fund, the Washington, D.C.-based organization has been an active player on the religious right for the past 20 years.
The Supreme Court hasn't yet accepted the Elane Photography appeal. The case went to the justices' private conference on March 21, days before the Hobby Lobby argument, evidently without resolution. It went to conference again a week later. Still nothing. According to the court's docket page, the justices will take it up again this Friday.
It's far from unknown for the court to spend weeks in internal debate over whether to accept a case. On Monday of this week, the justices accepted a patent case that had gone to conference three times. Hussain v. Obama, an appeal by a Guantánamo detainee, is scheduled this Friday for a fifth conference. There are possible reasons a petition wouldn't get an immediate up or down vote. Maybe three justices who from the beginning wanted to take a case need time to round up the necessary fourth vote. Maybe a justice is trying to write an opinion that will dispose of the case to sufficient colleagues' satisfaction without the need to accept the appeal for full briefing and argument. Sometimes the debate isn't about the merits of the issue but about whether the appeal has a procedural flaw or is deficient in some other way. The docket-setting process, vitally important to the court's work, is its true black box. But however opaque the process, eventually the justices do have to act.
Assuming that Elane Photography has placed the implications of Hobby Lobby squarely in front of the justices, what then? Specifically, what message is reaching Justice Kennedy? The 77-year-old justice (he is the 81-year-old Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's near age-mate, yet no one seems to be demanding his retirement as some prominent people are hers) has built a legacy as a passionate defender of gay men and lesbians against government-sanctioned discrimination. What does he think Hobby Lobby is about?
Late in the argument by Paul D. Clement, the former solicitor general, who was representing Hobby Lobby and going on at length about how the grandfathering of some health insurance plans undermined the government's argument, Justice Kennedy interrupted. "Just before your time starts to go too fast," he said, "how would you suggest that we think about the position and the rights of the employees?" The justice continued: "The employee may not agree with these religious beliefs of the employer. Does the religious belief just trump? Is that the way it works?"
"Well, no, it's not the way it works, Justice Kennedy," Mr. Clement replied. He went on to explain, but the question, from an unexpected and, I assume, unwelcome quarter, seemed at least on the transcript page to pierce Mr. Clement's shield of invincibility. He no longer controlled the room.
That's not a prediction that the Obama administration will win the day, at least not in full. There is little chance that the court will buy the argument that a corporation, at least these family-held corporations, can't get into court with a religious-freedom claim. Although that is the most widely discussed aspect of the case, it's not where the real action lies.
I can envision a couple of split-the-difference outcomes. One would be to permit closely held corporations like Hobby Lobby and Conestoga to pass the contraception obligation off to their third-party insurance carriers, an accommodation offered to nonprofit religious organizations like the University of Notre Dame. Hobby Lobby's supporters would claim that outcome as a victory, but the real winners would be the female employees whose reproductive choices the mandate was meant to protect; they would receive the coverage.
Another possibility that came up at the argument would be to consider the "mandate" to be nothing of the kind, given that companies can opt out of providing health insurance altogether by paying a tax of $2,000 a head — much cheaper than the per-employee cost of health insurance but requiring complicated calculations that would probably necessitate a remand to the lower courts to figure out the full implications.
And then there's Elane Photography, entangled with Hobby Lobby by a commonality of both calendar and claim. Maybe the justices have been spending their time trying to disentangle the two cases, fighting the gravitational pull that links one case to the other. I hope instead that the court sees the two joined together as a kind of early warning system of the dangers of, as Justice Kennedy said, allowing religion to "just trump."

Continuing her quest to become the queen of indie films, Kristen Stewart has signed on to star in Olivier Assayas's Personal Shopper, a film that is about fashion ghosts, we assume. Assayas penned the script, which is indeed being billed as a Paris-set ghost story that takes place in the fashion underworld. Assayas previously directed Stewart in Clouds Of Sils Maria, which led to Stewart being the first American actress to win France's Cesar Award. Personal Shopper will reunite Assayas with Sils Maria producer Charles Gillibert, who says the film will be thematically similar to the Juliette Binoche and Stewart-starring indie, but with "a genre dimension."
Personal Shopper will begin filming in the last quarter of 2015 in Paris, where Stewart stole hearts earlier this year with her Fashion Week look. It's unclear whether Stewart's character in Personal Shopper will be of the corporeal or spiritual form, but we choose to believe "fashion ghost" is her actual character description. Meanwhile, she's also set to appear in every single independent film coming out for the next decade.

What Is Destroying Your Peace?
May '18
It was around 2:00 am in the wee hours of the morning and i just woke up from an nightmare. Frustrated and angry I was because I knew it was a satanic attack, something given to destroy my peace. Some would ask how do I know it was satanic, so I will quickly explain my answer. That type of dream definitely did not come from God as God does not try to destroy your peace. The dream did not come from me because it upset me and woke me up in the middle of the night. That leaves to believe that this type of dream only come from one place and he (satan) loves to destroy our peace. Read more…

Why Men Can't Stand To Go To Church
Aug '17
In my life growing up in Pasadena, I found in church that there was always a lot of women and children but not many men. As I grew older I also did not care much for church as I viewed it as a hustle and I knew a lot of men felt the same way about church as I did in my area. I had seen so many crooked pastors and because of this why would I go to church and donate (tithe) some of my hard earned money and "line another man's pocket". I'm not going to be hustled especially when I know about it because now I am playing the role of a fool, and I ain't no fool.

In response to a delay in collecting Fulton County property taxes, a cash-strapped Atlanta Public Schools is considering furloughing teachers. While the Fulton County Schools spokeswoman initially said furloughs were not planned, I received a note today saying , "Everything is on the table as we get through this tax crisis. "
Fulton County is in a dispute with the state over its property assessments. And that has delayed the collection of property taxes, which are a major funding source for both school systems. About two-thirds of funding for APS and Fulton Schools derive from property taxes. And the districts build their mega budgets around the taxes, which is normally not a problem.
The tax bills are supposed to go out over the summer, but Fulton commissioners delayed the process this year after outraged property owners bombarded them with complaints over massive jumps in home values. About a quarter of homeowners saw assessments go up 50 percent or more, while half of the county's nearly 320,000 parcels saw assessments at least 20 percent higher.
In readjusting the assessments downward, the county has run afoul of the state Department of Revenue and thus the current stalemate that has held up tax collections. The state Department of Revenue's decision last week to stop Fulton County from sending our tax bills this month means no taxes are being collected and schools are without their life-blood funding. The state contends Fulton assessed properties below the fair market value and without basis.
On Friday, APS will be among the affected government divisions within Fulton County imploring a judge to order taxes to be collected after numerous delays.
As the AJC's Vanessa McCray reported:
"I'm just being as direct as possible: This is so much bigger than the superintendent, the school board. We will be calling... anybody who is willing to listen if this goes south for us on Friday. Let me be clear, we have to furlough the entire staff because we will probably have maybe one more month to be able to pay our bills and our staff and then we'll have to stop until something else happens which at the earliest would be January," she said.
THE PROBLEM: Earlier this summer, the Fulton County Commission decided to roll back a portion of the tax digest for reassessed residential properties to 2016 levels. Because of the initial delay caused by the decision of the Fulton County Commission, the Fulton County Tax Assessor had to recalculate property assessments, and property notices had to be resent, delaying the typical process by more than two months. This means that FCS is not receiving the expected revenue to fund our budget fully.
We did not know the extent of the delay in revenue until last week when the Georgia Department of Revenue did not approve Fulton County's tax digest. We immediately worked to join Fulton County Government and Atlanta Public Schools in seeking legal relief to this situation through a Tax Collection Order (TCO). A judge will review the matter on Friday.
THE PRIORITY: When times are tough, we must prioritize. For the remainder of this calendar year, due to the financial constraint we have been put in, our focus will be:
The daily safety and security of our students
To do everything we can to honor our current employees with the compensation they deserve
THE PLAN: Our plan of action also includes necessary belt-tightening and cost-saving measures we will all take immediately to help improve our financial picture through January. They are as follows:
Move payroll date from December 20 to December 29, 2017 (Payroll will run on December 15)
Freeze hiring district-wide
Place moratorium on out-of-system travel, including conferences for staff and student field trips
Freeze spending, except items related to safety and security, federal compliance, and fuel and utilities.
We know that these measures come as many of you are making travel plans for student field trips, conferences and even holiday plans for your families. However, this is how serious our financial situation has become, despite our district's effective managing of our financial resources.
As we receive information, we will continue to keep you updated.
Please take a look at the attached Q&A for more information! Also, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for all you do for Fulton County Schools and stay tuned.
Be well,
Here is the letter that Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Meria Carstarphen sent to her staff regarding the financial crisis caused by the Fulton County tax dispute.
As you may have heard in the media, there continue to be ongoing issues concerning the 2017 property tax assessments and its impact on APS. Earlier this summer, the Fulton County Commission voted to freeze a portion of the tax digest for reassessed residential properties at 2016 levels. Based on that decision, the district modified the FY2018 general fund operating budget to adjust our revenues to be $4 million less than what we had originally planned.
Also, because of the initial delay caused by the Fulton County Commission, the Fulton County Tax Assessor had to recalculate property assessments and resend property notices, delaying the typical process by more than two months. This delay made it necessary for the district to seek a $100 million Tax Anticipation Note (TAN) with a real cost of more than $470,000 in interest and fees. A Tax Anticipation Note (TAN) is a short-term loan issued to states or municipalities to finance current operations before tax revenues are received.
Recently, Atlanta Public Schools received an update regarding the 2017 property taxes from the Board of Commissioners of Fulton County. The County informed us that the Georgia Department of Revenue did not approve the submitted 2017 tax digest from Fulton County. We believe this action is based largely on the Fulton County Commission's decision to arbitrarily undervalue residential properties within the digest, a decision the district has maintained was improper from the very beginning.
While we appreciate the Department of Revenue's further review of the digest, the delay in approval has major implications for the district and other municipalities that are dependent on the timely collection of tax revenue for operations. APS, like other school districts in Georgia, is highly dependent on local tax collections, with about 62.5% of general fund revenue coming from the Fulton County Tax Digest. As our fiscal year runs from July to June, APS is four months into the year without receiving the revenue or cash payment from the Fulton County Tax Digest.
Over the next few days, you may hear that the district is taking legal action for the immediate and temporary collection of taxes for 2017. On Friday, October 26, 2017, Atlanta Public Schools and Fulton County Schools officially filed a request for the courts to intervene in this process to allow the district to collect property taxes.
In addition to taking this unprecedented step, we are also reviewing several other options to address short-term cash flow issues. For example, the district plans to take precautionary measures to slow down outgoing cash payments by modifying payment schedules for contracted services, goods and obligations as appropriate to minimize impact to daily operations. This means that we will delay payments for goods and services until right before the bill is due.
I am hopeful that we will hear positive news from the courts this week and that our operations will not be significantly impacted. In an abundance of caution, however, we are developing a contingency plan that could include implementing furlough days for some or all employees, delaying until January the $500 one-time payment for employees not on the teacher salary scale, and identifying ways to delay repayment of the district's TAN in the event that we are unsuccessful in convincing the courts to intervene. The hearing date for the Temporary Collection Order is scheduled for Friday, November 3, 2017. We will provide additional updates as soon as possible after the scheduled hearing.

On the Link Between Gender-Roles Attitudes and Less Common Union Types
Présenté par : Alessandra Trimarchi (Ined) ; Discutant : Milan Bouchet-Valat (Ined)
Typically, couples tend to be mostly formed by partners where the man is older than the woman, and where the man is at least as educated as the woman. These partnerships are conventionally considered more stable and more fertile. Recent theoretical approaches have emphasized the role of gender-egalitarian attitudes in decreasing union instability and increasing couples' fertility rates. Such attitudes may already play a role when people choose their mates, but there is hardly research about this so far. Existing studies that address gender attitudes focus mainly on their role in explaining union stability and fertility after unions have been formed. In this paper, we investigate how gender-roles attitudes are linked to mate choice. We apply multinomial logistic regression to Generations and Gender Survey data of Austria, Bulgaria, France, Georgia, Hungary and Poland. We select single men and women in wave 1 and we analyze their union formation patterns in wave 2. Results suggest that egalitarian men are more likely to form less conventional unions rather than remaining single. Findings for women are a bit different. Egalitarian women are less likely than other women to be in a union where the woman is more educated than the man. Additionally, the former are also more likely to enter in unions where partners have a similar age.
Alessandra Trimarchi
Alessandra joined INED as postdoctoral researcher in January 2018. In June 2016, she completed her PhD in Demography, which has been awarded jointly by La Sapienza University of Rome and the University of Leuven. Before starting her postdoc at INED, Alessandra was employed at the Centre for Sociological Research at the University of Leuven. There, she was working in the research team of Professor Jan Van Bavel, who was leading the GENDERBALL project about the consequences of the reversal of gender inequalities in education on reproductive behaviour in Europe. Alessandra's research is mostly related to fertility and partnership dynamics and how these vary across socio-economic groups and contexts, focusing on both men's and women's life courses.

Aisha Yesufu, Co-convener of the BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group, has again attacked President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as incompetent, clueless and inept.
Yesufu who spoke against the deteriorating security situation in the country and the recent kidnap of three Ahmadu Bello University students also said that President Buhari was a failure.
Recall that yesterday, three final year law students of ABU, Zaria were abducted. They were seized on the notorious Kaduna-Abuja Expressway Tuesday afternoon.
The Kaduna State Police Command, however, said, its operatives rescued three the students but added, however, that three other persons were still being held by the kidnappers.
In a video, she shared on social media on Thursday, Mrs. Yesufu said, "When we say Mohammadu Buhari is incompetent, clueless and inept we are not insulting him. We are just saying it as it is.
"As the President and Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces, Muhammadu Buhari has been incompetent, clueless, inept and a failure.
"The state of security today is heartbreaking. Did you hear of the ABU University students that were kidnapped? They should have been your children; they should have been you. Parents had to pay the ransom and they are back.
"I watched the video of one of the girls that were returned, she was crying. But do you know something? They (kidnappers) didn't ask if the incompetent Muhammadu Buhari was her (one of the victims) president; they didn't ask if she was APC, PDP, or whatever; they didn't ask if she was from the north, south or other parts of the country. they didn't ask whether she was a Christian or Muslim; or what tribe she was.
"They took her along other fellow students and other people. What about those who have not been able to pay the ransom? Is this how we are going to live our lives in the country? is this what we are going to continue to do? To look away and support this incompetence we have?
"No! It's not doable. As long as one of us is not safe, all of us are not safe. the saddest thing is that this victim's card is going from place to the other. it's going around and the only god knows on whom it will fall.
"I'll continue to repeat that yesterday's victims were once survivals and today's victims were yesterday's survivals and tomorrow's victims were today's survivals. Let me tell you something, in Nigeria's today, being a victim is no longer a matter of if its a matter of when."

Wrist Irons are iron manacles, worn on the wrists, and occupying the slot gauntlets would occupy. In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Wrists Irons are the only indestructible clothing item worn on the hands, making them suitable for enchanting by mages. Despite being classified as clothing apparel, they raise the Light Armor skill when blows are taken, as with all other clothing items in Oblivion.
Only one pair exists in unmodified versions of Oblivion. It is equipped on the hero during the "Tutorial" of the main storyline. Additional pairs resurfaced in various official plugins.
- Mehrunes' Razor added two pairs in the jail cell during the quest, "Unearthing Mehrunes' Razor".
- Vile Lair adds an additional pair to Deepscorn Hollow.
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles adds a pair to Dunroot Burrow near the Felldew addicts.
Because the Wrist Irons have no weight, mages can use them as an enchanted wrist item. Technically defined as clothing, they can be enchanted without the need to repair by reaching level 50 Armorer. Useful enchantments include Shield, Fortify Magicka, and Water Breathing.
These items can be duplicated using the scroll exploit. Collect three scrolls of one type. Carahil, during the Anvil Recommendation, gives three Scrolls of Frost Shield for free. Likewise, Kud-Ei gives three scrolls of Beguile for free during the "Bravil Recommendation" quest. Enter the Character Menu and equip all three scrolls, one after the other. Then, drop the Wrist Irons. Exit the menu and pick up the three Wrist Irons that duplicated. This exploit only works if one Wrist Iron is dropped at a time. Any scrolls can be used for this trick.

Our Scouting council's annual Pinewood Derby was on Saturday so Jeff and Soren spent a couple hours Friday evening cutting, sanding, and painting his car. Even with the last minute prep, Soren was happy with how his car turned out - cut by dad according to Soren's own design, and skillfully painted all three of his favorite colors by his nine-year old self.
On Saturday afternoon, we headed to the mall for the event. After a couple of hiccups with the weight and wheels, Soren's car was entered in the race. Once they sorted out some problems with the track sensors, the race for the Bear Cubs was ready to begin. Instead of racing in different heats and advancing through the various rounds, it's all done by time. Each car races on each track and the time is recorded by computer. With 12 cars in Soren's group, there were 12 rounds. When all the rounds were through, the times were averaged and the winners were announced.
Soren was surprised and thrilled when they announced his name as the 3rd place winner. His best friend from his pack won 2nd. It turns out, their average speeds - right around 183 mph - were within 1/10 of a mile apart. It was a great finish.
Soren was pretty happy to be the first of our boys to win a Pinewood Derby trophy. Way to go, Buddy!

State puts poker on table
The bill would allow restaurants to sponsor poker and other card games or tournaments to draw customers. The establishments could use the card games only as a way to attract new customers and not for direct profit.
"It's a good way to get customers," said Jim Farrel, spokesman for the Connecticut Restaurant Association that supports the legislation. "The restaurants won't be benefiting from the gambling, but will be benefiting from new people coming in. As we know, poker is now a trendy thing."
The card game has become trendy beyond its traditional smoke-filled-room image, as world poker championship tournaments appear on television and celebrities play on a weekly program.
Rep. Brian O'Connor, D-Westbrook, got the idea to propose the bill after the state issued a cease and desist order to several New Haven-area bars that sponsored poker tournaments. He said it would be reasonable to allow card games for recreation with limited gambling.
"This could offset other losses restaurants and bars have from the smoking ban," O'Connor said. "Poker games happen in individual homes. At least this is a way it could be more regulated."
The card players would not make bets, but rather would pay into a pool before playing, all at the same amount. Winners would get the majority of the pool. O'Connor said this isn't unlike point spread bets at Super Bowl time in bars and office pools in March during the NCAA basketball tournament.
However, he admits the public may not favor expanded gambling.
"Pardon the pun, but the deck is stacked against us," O'Connor said.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said if the legislation passed, it could violate the state's compact with existing tribal casinos. Blumenthal said it would also threaten the state's lawsuit to prevent the Kent-based Schaghticoke tribe from building a casino in western Connecticut.
"It would probably violate the compacts with the tribes and completely deprive the state of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue we get from casinos," Blumenthal said. "Equally, if not more important, it would re-establish gambling in Connecticut for the purposes of a third casino."
The state legislature banned so-called Las Vegas nights in 2003, which allowed charitable organizations to have gambling for fund-raising purposes. Federal courts used the Las Vegas nights law to order the state to allow two casinos to open in the state.
Under the compact between the state and the two tribes that run the casinos, games such as poker can't take place anywhere in a commercial setting except the casinos. Blumenthal said if this were expanded, the state would violate its part of the pact, and the casinos would not be obligated to pay a portion of their earnings to the state.
Spokesmen from the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods casinos could not be reached for comment Monday.
Sen. David Cappiello, R-Danbury, the top Republican on the General Law Committee that is reviewing the bill, said he shared Blumenthal's concerns.
"Although it seems like a harmless bill at first glance, it could open the door to new casinos," Cappiello said. "I don't have a philosophical or moral problem with it. But somebody is winning here. It's still gambling. Especially in the Danbury area, we can't afford to open the door more."
Rep. Christopher Stone, D-East Hartford, co-chairman of the General Law Committee, said he is researching the bill and could support it.
"If the restaurants don't profit and it does not recreate Las Vegas nights, if those concerns are allayed, then this legislator would be in favor of it," Stone said. "I voted for the Las Vegas nights ban, I don't want to undo that."
O'Connor voted against repealing the Las Vegas nights, and said it was a bad law.
"Las Vegas nights was a specious argument," O'Connor said. "Now they are arguing the same thing, that this will promote gambling in the state. We already have two world class gambling operations in the state."
Tom Devine, co-owner of Two Steps in downtown Danbury, said he had doubts about how limited the gambling would be.
"We wouldn't do it in our place regardless," Devine said. "Who would police it? The liquor commission can't police things now. The police can barely enforce the smoking ban."
Marvin Steinberg, executive director of the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling, said this type of law poses a risk of putting gambling into communities where it should not be. He said it should be restricted to the designated casinos.
"I'm concerned every time someone proposes bringing gambling into other communities it does not exist," Steinberg said. "For gambling to spread into communities where people live and work is not good. We don't have alcohol in every store. Don't let gambling be in every community.
"I don't think gambling should occur where alcohol is served," he continued. "It dulls a person's ability to think about how they are dealing with their money."

VIDEO | Gillette World Sport
Anthony Bemboom delivered a tiebreaking RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning and the Los Angeles Angels edged the host Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.
The Angels won their second straight following an eight-game losing streak thanks to Bemboom, who appeared in his fourth career game and made his debut with the club. The catcher entered the game in a defensive switch in the eighth inning and made a strong throw to get pinch-runner Mookie Betts attempting to steal second.
Two innings later, with Kole Calhoun on second, Bemboom hit the first pitch into right field off Ryan Weber (1-2) to give the Angels the lead. It was the second career RBI for Bemboom, who was called up before Sunday's game.
Calhoun tied the game by leading off the eighth with a home run off Matt Barnes, his 26th of the season.
Shohei Ohtani had three hits, including a two-run bases-loaded single in the second off Andrew Cashner that staked the Angels to a 3-0 lead.
The Angels scored their first run on a bases-loaded double-play grounder by Albert Pujols that brought home Brian Goodwin in the first inning.
Cashner, who entered the game with a 7.53 ERA since joining the Red Sox in a trade from Baltimore last month, allowed three runs on three hits with five walks in 1 2/3 innings before manager Alex Cora went to his bullpen.
Angels rookie Patrick Sandoval allowed four runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings in his second career start. He struck out four and walked four. Three relievers followed with 5 1/3 scoreless innings.
Angels right-hander Hansel Robles (4-0) sent the game to extra innings by retiring Xander Bogaerts on one pitch in the ninth. He worked around a one-out single to Andrew Benintendi and ended the game by blowing a 99-mph fastball past Christian Vazquez
Vasquez hit a two-run homer in the fourth for the Red Sox, who lost for the 12th time in its last 15 games and dropped 16 games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East.
Boston scored its first run on a bases-loaded walk by Jackie Bradley Jr. in the second inning and took a 4-3 lead in the fifth when Rafael Devers scored on a passed ball by Angels catcher Max Stassi.

Thoughts Lead To Appreciation
From Umm Sulaim, Allah's slave-woman to my brother. Peace be on whoever follows Guidance.
When I think of …
I see with my ears
The eyes must admire
I demand an image
But, should she grant me that
She would give herself away
To emissaries secret and overt
Perched on every device.
My brother, 14 centuries after Hijrah, you may have some undesirable moments regarding the pursuit of Halāl rights, including viewing your bride, with technology. Simply ensure that you strive towards a reasonable balance.
May Allah put you within that balance. Aamiin!!

Lewis v. Fletcher
RESPONDENT: Fletcher
LOCATION: North Carolina General Assembly
DECIDED BY: Rehnquist Court (1986-2005)
LOWER COURT: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
ARGUED: Nov 29, 1995
DECIDED: Jun 24, 1996
Elizabeth Alexander - Argued the cause for the respondents
Grant Woods - Argued the cause for the petitioners
Facts of the case
Fletcher Casey, Jr. and other inmates of various prisons operated by the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADOC), brought a class action against ADOC officials, alleging that the ADOC officials were furnishing them with inadequate legal research facilities and thereby depriving them of their right of access to the courts, in violation of Bounds v. Smith. Bounds held that "the fundamental constitutional right of access to the courts requires prison authorities to assist inmates in the preparation and filing of meaningful legal papers by providing prisoners with adequate law libraries or adequate assistance from persons trained in the law." The District Court found the ADOC officials in violation of Bounds and issued an injunction mandating detailed, systemwide changes in ADOC's prison law libraries and in its legal assistance programs. The Court of Appeals affirmed both the finding of a Bounds violation and the injunction's major terms.
Did a federal trial judge err when ruling that Arizona prison officials unconstitutionally failed to provide inmates with adequate legal research facilities?
Media for Lewis v. Fletcher
Audio Transcription for Oral Argument - November 29, 1995 in Lewis v. Fletcher
William H. Rehnquist:
We'll hear argument next in Number 94-1511, Samuel A. Lewis v. Fletcher Casey.
General Woods.
Grant Woods:
Mr. Chief Justice, and may it please the Court:
This is an inmate access to the court case.
The State of Arizona meets and exceeds the requirements of Bounds v. Smith by providing at the time of trial 26 law libraries at nine separate prison complexes across the State.
As the prison population has grown from more than 15,000 to 22,000 prisoners, we have added seven more libraries, for a total of 33.
In addition to providing adequate legal resources to the inmates through these law libraries, Arizona goes above and beyond the requirements of Bounds by facilitating the use of legal clerks and legal assistants to obtain books and to help in the preparation of lawsuits.
Also, we encourage inmates to take our classes to teach them to read English, and we find interpreters for non-English-speaking inmates.
We facilitate also assistance from family, from friends, outside lawyers and paralegals and other prisoner rights groups.
Although deference to State officials in the area of prison administration is required by this Court, the district court in this case has imposed an order which micromanages virtually every aspect of prison life in this area.
Additionally, the district court has entered its order despite a record that has not established an injury warranting systemic relief.
The result is that the order is overbroad, overreaching, and far beyond the requirements of Bounds.
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Mr. Woods, what are the findings of the district court that would support a system-wide violation of Bounds?
Was there any express finding that there was a system-wide violation of the requirements this Court set forth in Bounds?
Grant Woods:
We believe there is not, Justice O'Connor.
The record in this case is difficult, and it's difficult for a variety of reasons, but one reason is because it's difficult to separate pure findings of fact from the judge's order, from how he has extrapolated that based upon, we believe, his misinterpretation of what Bounds requires.
If the Court--
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Well, you take the position that Bounds was an either-or situation, that the State can provide a library or assistance?
Grant Woods:
David H. Souter:
Well, Bounds said that in so many words, didn't it?
Grant Woods:
Mr. Chief Justice, I think it's important for the Court to look at the reasoning behind Bounds, and how it's been--
Sandra Day O'Connor:
Well, if you do that, I certainly think there is some indication that a prisoner who cannot read or who does not speak English might not have meaningful access to a library even if it were there, and you want us to take the position that there's no requirement to provide any assistance at all.
Grant Woods:
--Yes, Justice O'Connor.
We believe that's the proper reading of Bounds, although we--
David H. Souter:
You take the position that, if a prisoner is illiterate or is illiterate in English, that that... that the requirements therefore are still satisfied so long as there is, in fact, a library in existence to which the prisoner could resort if he were able to read it, or a legal helper to whom he could turn if he were able to communicate?
Grant Woods:
--That's correct.
We believe Arizona goes far beyond the requirement of Bounds, but we believe that the proper interpretation of Bounds is that a law library, in and of itself, is enough.
David H. Souter:
--So there is no obligation to an illiterate prisoner.

These are my first pair of flyknits and I already love them so much more compared to the regular free runs. They look great with anything and can be worn for any occasion.
Ahhhh these shoes are life! My feet are a little wide so the toe box is a tad bit snug, but I dont mind at all. Flyknits are hands down the most comfortable shoes Ive worn in my entire life!! I never want to wear another pair of shoes ever again.
Even though the price of these was a little out of my budget, they were so worth the buy! They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and I love running in them. I always hated breaking in shoes and getting blisters, but with these, they are perfect from the first wear because of the flexible material
I love that they fit to my feet and feel like I'm wearing sox !!! I love the different styles and colors. Wishing I could afford to have a different color and style for everyday
The most comfortable shoe ever. Every time I wear them I get compliments. I can't wait to order a different color.

Common Sanddragon (Progomphus obscurus) is a member of the Clubtail Family of dragonflies that is spotted during June and July in mid-Atlantic United States like Virginia.
I thought I'd seen the last Common Sanddragons of 2015 in late June. Imagine my surprise when I saw one during the first week in August!
This individual is a male, as indicated by his terminal appendages.
He was perching on a sandy beach, facing the water, in the stream bed of Dogue Creek where it flows through Wickford Park.
Notice the blue rock at the lower-right in the following photo. Azurite is a deep blue copper mineral produced by weathered copper ore, although I'm skeptical there are copper deposits located in/near Dogue Creek.
