So this month is speeding by too. Not much going on here this week, we had a big thunderstorm a few nights ago. The wind was blowing really hard, rain coming down the window in sheets & hail hitting the window hard & of course thunder & lightning. It did damage other places, but not right here that I know of.
It's supposed to rain the next few days starting tonight, but Easter Sunday is supposed to be nice so that's good. I was having some problems last night, but I don't know if anything is going around right now.
I may of already said this, but I bought a card & had some more time put on my trac phone & then it "service disabled" so I couldn't answer the phone when it rang or call out or anything. So as bad as I hated to I had to call them again & spent 2/1/2 hrs saying " what, excuse me didn't understand you, Pardon me, talk slower etc. for 2/1/2 hrs. I always dread to call them for anything because that's how it always goes. I got transferred to about 2 or 3 other people & they all spoke the same language. I've had a new smart phone for a few years now, but just don't want to go all through that again. But I should because I would get triple the time on that one. I have to get out tomorrow & run errands. I've got to where I don't want to go anywhere, but have to anyway. I need to go back to my chiropractor in Muscatine, but keep putting that off. I have to go to my heart doctor later this month & they're close to each other so maybe I can go to both the same day. Well, "I trust you Jesus" & I also believe in angels, they help me all the time Take care of yourselves & Bye, bye for now.

In the western part of the Thar region of the country, their lives India's first honest environmentalist community, The Bishnois who breastfeed baby deer. These followers of Guru Jambeshwar have survived since the 15th century by following his 29 principles. In keeping with this kind of devotion to nature, the breastfeeding mothers of this religious group can often be seen feeding young baby bucks.
The Bishnois believe that causing damage to the environment is just as bad as harming oneself. Even though they are Hindu, they perform funeral rituals when someone dies, because that doesn't require them to burn trees and the decomposing bodies enrich the soil. Such a great thought by them is literally respectful.
In and interview with Daily Mail, The breastfeeder Mangi Devi Bishnoi said that "These baby deers are my life and they're like my own children. I feed them milk and food and ensure they're given proper care and attention in the house like all my family members. They are not orphans when they have us around, they have new mothers like me who offer them a mother's feed for a healthy life." Such people are on there and we feel proud that such communities exist in our society.

very nice FeatherWinger..thank you so much.
Feather Winger..I WILL NOT GIVE UP THE SHIP!!! IT IS MY HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO HAVE THE GIFT OF LIGHT…NO MATTER WHAT THE CHALLENGE.. HOLDING STEADFAST.. thank you dearest sister for your encouragement..for guiding me to learn the art of healing…and most of ALL YOUR LOVE.. busy cleaning/clearing on myself inside out…my new found attitude is first and foremost GRATITUDE~ Huge Hugs to you Feather..and wish ALL LOVE/LIGHT/PEACE/JOY~ YAY..TEAM~ rounding 3D base..heading for home~ jsb (**)>*******<(**)
It should have worked when I checked in originally..ended up being called Delusional..Stupid and a Liar.. even if that was true..I KNOW IT IS NOT..it did diminish the efficacy of a site devoted to Unconditional Love..evolving toward higher frequencies of Light..and why we call ourselves 'lightworkers' or 'healers'..I remain here steadfast..not frightened away by insults. I can, and have been a conduit for healing others in need..
.and if anyone knows true healing ways..hope i will find them soon. In Unity of Healing..THERE IS STRENGTH..POWER..TO RAISE ALL ENERGY..no one should be left behind~ NOW IS THE TIME~
so now i know more about you..and how it is that what happens in your situation affects you..or not.
unfortunately…what i have simply attempted to express has fallen on closed ears. of the many to whom i had reached…strangely the only discourse has been with you… and i am back to 'square' numero uno.
it was not a 'generalization' to say I LOVE PERFECTION..I WAS REFERRING TO MY CAT…
where I notice imperfection..how can you know what I realize or learn about all of that? you cannot…that is why I AM A FINE ARTIST..and earned the credentials by active participation in a kind of 'theosophy' rarely understood…my call to you could have been a wake-up call..but you choose to stay in the middle…put the ear plugs in.. you were thinking 'bad things happen all the time'…that you have cried enough now..choose to laugh..not react.
Being PROACTIVE..REACTIVE..OR INACTIVE are three totally different choices.
when nothing is done..no proactive attempt is made to undo any kind of harm that is caused to innocent people..bad things will continue to happen.
good for you if what you choose makes YOU FEEL happy~

It feels good to have the computer back. Nothing lost. The wizard who does these things failed to find a real problem, couldn't make it give that dastardly message about hardware fatalities at all. So, my means of expression is back in order, tuned up, backed up and we are back in business.
Hmmm – wonder if I lost my spell checker? Nope it picked up the Hmmm just fine. But is underlining words that it shouldn't. It does not like contractions for some reason.
So, I guess we see what happens from here on in.

Warning Signals
After they pierce your sewer line, fine roots can extend thru your pipes. Usually the roots will probably cause other debris to back up and bog systems down just before they wholly block the pipe. If perhaps your drainage system has begun to slow, or possibly if you may have noticed a gurgling sound via your toilet bowl, it truly is time to act.
Additional Causes
Although tree roots are actually the number one explanation for sewer line issues, there can be other means your sewer line can turn out to be blocked or broken. Foreign items that wouldn't dissolve are able to become lodged in the line. Age, overall deterioration in addition to significant shifts in temperature across a length of time might also induce a sewer line to buckle or crack.

'We should give back'
PV sophomore discusses the need for the community to help students in need
January 6, 2019
Pine Forest High School in North Carolina lacks enough funds to provide their students with science materials. They are without sufficient calculators, folders, batteries, and can not even afford a poster of the periodic table.
Pine Forest High School is only one of many underfunded schools, yet here at Pascack Valley, we are extremely fortunate to be able to have access to more than enough supplies. Various schools do not have enough funding and struggle to receive even the most basic necessities for academic success. As a community, we should work to give what we can to those who need it and make a difference in ensuring equal education. In an effort to provide these schools with more resources and opportunities, many institutions, such as the Donors Choose Organization, were created.
Among the various organizations dedicated to helping students, the Donors Choose Organization is unique in the way that it is ran. It is committed to "connecting the public to public schools" by donating to students from kindergarten to 12th grade The organization is run by former teachers who are dedicated to the cause and have helped around 600,000 classrooms raise over $740,963,775.
The organization was started by a history teacher from the Bronx named Charles Best. Although teachers here at PV annually spend an average of $264, it is still a considerably smaller amount than what many other public school teachers spend. The average public school teacher spends around $480 to $1,000 of their own money on classroom supplies each year. After realizing that more people would choose to help if only they knew where their money was going, Best created the Donors Choose Organization.
On their website, the organization provides the public with opportunities to donate to schools across the country. People wanting to donate are able to read about and choose exactly which school or class they donate money to. Additionally, donors are able to know exactly what the money is being used for.
Many teachers ask for money in order to buy their students folders, calculators, or new classroom rugs. The organization purchases and ships the requested items directly to the schools. Donors also receive thank you messages and pictures of the students that they helped.
The organization has also received the attention of celebrities, such as Yvette Nicole Brown, who was featured on "The Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert." Furthermore, the news show "Good Morning America" featured many of the teachers' stories. A variety of companies, including Verizon and the Charles Schwab Foundation, have helped classrooms raise money. These corporations donate $2 for every donation made by the public. The help of these companies allow more classrooms to receive what they asked for, yet many are still in need of more funding.
As such a privileged and fortunate school, we should give back in an effort to ensure equal education across the country. Donations as small as $1 can make a difference. If our school and community comes together in an effort to help students in need, we will be able to make an immense impact in their lives. You can make the choice to become a donor for a cause that makes a difference.

CHEYENNE – The Cheyenne Airport Board voted unanimously Thursday to apply for $580,000 in state money to help draw a new airline to the community.
Cheyenne Regional Airport Director Tim Barth said following the board meeting that he and other airport officials are currently in negotiations with airlines to bring them to Cheyenne and hope to be able to announce one before the final grant application is due next year.
He added that possible destinations under discussion include Las Vegas, Dallas and Phoenix.
Laramie County Commissioner Amber Ash said in a later interview that options had been narrowed to two airlines.
If approved for the grant, which is administered by the Wyoming Aeronautics Commission, Cheyenne airport officials said they hoped to combine it with $200,000 in federal money and additional money from the city of Cheyenne and Laramie County to create a $1.5 million revenue guarantee for a prospective airline.
Ash and Mayor Marian Orr said they couldn't guarantee support for any request until a formal proposal with an airline is put forward.
But Ash said she hoped her fellow commissioners would be enthusiastic about a chance to secure flights to cities other than Denver.
"I would think that the commission would support something like that," she said. "But until votes happen, you never know."
In general, the agreements known as "minimum revenue guarantees" help an airline avoid losing too much money when it takes a chance on a new market by using outside money to cover losses.
If an airline breaks even or makes a profit on its own, the money is not used.
Airport officials declined to comment on what airlines were under consideration. Barth said the airport does not reveal the names of airlines with which it negotiates because releasing that information could hurt both the airline and airport with "undue speculation."
The Wyoming Tribune Eagle filed a public records request Thursday morning seeking details of any airlines that may have been contacted by airport officials.
Airport counsel John Patton said he would review the request and provide an answer as to whether the records were available in accordance with Wyoming Public Records Act provisions.
The last air service enhancement grant the Cheyenne airport received went to fund a minimum services agreement with American Eagle, airport deputy director of aviation Jim Schell said.
A $1.4 million guaranteed revenue grant approved in July 2010 for American Eagle was used up in its first year in Cheyenne, according to previous WTE reporting.
The Wyoming Aeronautics Commission approved an additional $850,000 revenue guarantee grant in March 2011 that was combined with $150,000 from the Greater Cheyenne Foundation, according to previous reporting.
American Eagle ended its flights from Cheyenne to Dallas in the spring of 2012.
The airport is under pressure to draw new air service options as construction of a new terminal continues. A new terminal and related projects costing $18 million, partially funded by $6.3 million in sixth-penny sales tax money, are scheduled to be complete sometime in 2018.
Cheyenne-based Great Lakes Airlines provides one flight a week from Cheyenne to Denver International Airport, down from eight such flights it used to make, according to previous reporting.

3 Reasons Why SMEs Should Hire a Business Technology Advisor
By Mark Geschke | Other
Xuviate has been very privileged to be part of not one, but two separate startup accelerator programs over the past two years.
Business advice from the likes of Andrea Böhmert (Knife Capital), Keith Jones (sw7), Riaan Pietersen (Blue Oceans Consulting), Mike Joubert (The Billybo Group), Richard Dewing (Cibecs), Waldo Steyn (ENS Africa) and Marc Ashton (Moneyweb) has been invaluable to us for successfully navigating our business through the last 18 months.
And that got me thinking.
If Startups benefit this much from getting external advice, how much could established small and medium businesses gain from engaging with strategic, external advisors who can assist with complex business technology questions?
When one stops to think about this, the answer is "actually quite a lot" and it is quite surprising that we don't (yet) see more businesses turning to such advisors.

Radiation and Jet Stream FORECAST UPDATE – March 25, 2011 – links below!
Below is an update video posted this morning w/a new website that is monitoring the radiation, Iodide, Cesium 137 and more.
Click HERE to get dutch's links to radiation monitors in the US and abroad.
And Dr. Jeff Master's, Wunder Blog, had this to say on 3/21/11
[…] Offshore winds are expected on Wednesday, but onshore winds could re-develop late in the week as a new weak low pressure system affects the region. Radiation at the levels being reported coming from the troubled plant are not high enough to be of concern to human heath outside of Japan, so I will not be posting further plots showing the long-range path of the radioactivity unless there is a major explosion resulting in a significant release of radioactive emissions.

Points négatifs : There is NO thrifty car rental at quito airport. We had a reservation that was confirmed in person in December and when we returned to pick up the car in February we were told thrifty had been replaced by europcar and they would not honor our price and we were charged 3 times what the reservation
Very bad
Points positifs : Nothing
Points négatifs : Those guys try to steal your money are not serious and then try to put some extra charges never book with them ever. The car looks new but is a scrap car Think twice to rent a car here.
Points positifs : Fair price
Points négatifs : Long wait at airport. Car was a manual transmission. No instructions in English on how to operate the ignition kill switch. No maps available b and gps kept going out
Points négatifs : They didn
Terrible car, terrible service
Points positifs : Nothing
Points négatifs : The car was horrible. A Chevy Spark with bad brakes and all banged up. I wanted to cancel the reservation and they told me they couldn't refund me for 10 days. They made me wait an hour just to tell me they couldn't simply refund my money while constantly trying to upsell me. Horrible experience.
Very bad service
Points négatifs : I reserve a Hunday H1 because we are seven person and they give us a Suzuki Vitara at the same price.
Car broke down in 20 minutes of pick up and ridiculed in spanish
Points positifs : Nothing
Points négatifs : Everything was horrible. Service, the quality of cars were miserable. the first car that I got broke down within 20 minutes in the middle of the highway and the replacement refused to go above 40 km/hr. The customer care giggled throughout my panic stricken phone call when the car broke down in the middle lane of a highway when cars were moving at 90km/hr. The engine started emitting smoke. The local agency officials giggled and ridiculed me, in Spanish language assuming that I do not understand anything, for being a women driver. I had to ask them to stop and remind them that I do understand the language even if I do not speak it. Then the giggling and smiling stopped. They refused to return the car before the contract was up. But I could not drive the car cause it was in such a bad condition. They have sexists employees who spent more time making fun of me than trying to solve the problem. I had to leave the car at the location without any written acknowledgement for the return and file an official complain with both Thrifty and better business bureau to get my money back including the deposit which should have been returned with the car. I finally went to Avis who gave me a car in a perfect condition which could easily be driven even in mountainous roads.
Points positifs : The car is ok
Points négatifs : They force you to pay for insurance, went your credit card has already insurence coverage!!
Thrifty at Quito airport is a rip off!!
Points positifs : The size of the Chevy Spark makes it very easy to park.
Points négatifs : The insurance price was double the price of the car. That and I already have car insurance, Geico, that covers my driving in other countries. I did not want the Thrifty Insurance but the agent would not negotiate. Said that I had to take Thrifty's. The 100k per day mileage limit is ridiculous. I ended up driving 660km in five days so they charged me an extra $40, 25 cents a km, such a rip off. Also the car they gave me, Chevy Spark, was terribly on hills. Almost had two different accidents sliding downhill. My advice rent an automatic in Quito from a more reputable rental agent like Hertz.
Worst car rental ever!!!
Points négatifs : 1) There was no address for the various Thrifty agencies in Quito on the rental agreement, we couldn't get in touch with anyone, so we spent an hour and lots of taxi dollars trying to find an office. Then, 2) when we finally found one, they said, "Oh, the $72 you paid Kayak for insurance is INTERNATIONAL insurance, which we don't accept (here in Ecuador, presumably), so we had to pay of new insurance to the tune of $150 or so. 3) Then, to top it all off, they said we could only drive 800 kilometers in eight days, or we'd have to pay 25 cents a kilometer above that. A terrible experience.
Most Pathetic Rental Experience I've Ever Had
Points positifs : Van was decent once we finally got it.
Points négatifs : Thrifty in Quito did not have the van we reserved once we showed up at the airport at 10 PM, they gave us no warning before hand. They 8 of us drive to Guayquil, 6 hours out of our way to get it. After we returned the van, they charged us $830 for the miles we put on the cars initially to go get the van. Customer service in Ecuador has been ignoring my requests for a refund. Do not use this rental service.
Verify class of vehicle and total price locally be
Points positifs : The car was clean and ready when we got there. The service was friendly and accomodating.
Points négatifs : Not mentioned in the online booking process is the mandatory 1st party insurance, which was $20 a day extra. I had purchased third party insurance through Allianz which they did not accept and so I ended up paying twice for insurance. Additionally, the photo of the "premium" car online was a late model Chevy Tahoe / equivalent. The actual "premium" car we received was a Suzuki Grand Vitara - a substantially smaller and less premium vehicle. We were told it would be $100 more a day to have the actual type of vehicle we reserved. Not the local rental counter's fault - their advertising in-location all had the correct vehicles pictured next to their class names - but the international Thrifty website was wrong.

Captain Marvel is in theatres, but the real heroes are on the streets
A film adaptation long-anticipated by comic book fans has finally reached theatres, and the origin story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) latest hero, Carol Denvers (better known as Captain Marvel) is now on the silver screen.
Captain Marvel holds a special place for comic book lovers, especially fans of Marvel's Civil War 2 series, where she appeared going up against Iron Man. Fans are eagerly waiting to find out what Captain Marvel will do in Avengers: Endgame (due in theatres in May), and it looks like she will take a starring role in future Avengers films. Because of this, Carol Denvers' backstory starts from the beginning.
The screenplay, which is quite different from the comics, was written to fill in the MCU blanks some people have been wondering about, and Denvers' story, which could have been told over two films, is crammed into a 120-minute movie. Captain Marvel appears to serve as a bridge to the MCU, but as a result, it can never be as successful as the Black Panther or last year's ground-breaking Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman, DC's first female superhero, is like Captain Marvel in that her job was to connect the past to the present. The difference, though, is that Captain Marvel's story needed to be tied into the MCU, which had been developed over a decade in 20 different films. In Wonder Woman, character development doesn't get swallowed up by a lot of plot distractions, so we see Wonder Woman getting a taste of how destructive humanity can be, and we watch her learn about the huge sacrifices superheroes must make.
In Captain Marvel, we learn about Carol Denvers' powers and character as well as Nick Fury's early years with SHIELD and the reasons for the Kree–Scrull war. However, with this much going on all at once, the superhero is left undeveloped.
Basically, Captain Marvel's, or rather, Carol Denvers' backstory in the comic books has changed at various times, so she doesn't have the same continuity as Wonder Woman. The first Carol Denvers was a US Air Force officer and Security Chief of a restricted military base. She meets the Kree soldier Mar-Vell, who's disguised as Dr Walter Lawson while on Earth. While Mar-Vell is fighting another Kree soldier named Yon-Rogg, Denvers gets hit with a laser and becomes Captain Marvel.
This paragraph contains spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie, I recommend skipping to the next paragraph! The film deals with Carol Denvers' transformation into Captain Marvel and then takes various adventures from different comics published over the decades. The Mar-Vell situation, Carol Denvers' memory loss, and the evolution of the human-Kree hybrids are all elements taken from different eras of the story. These sorts of details will especially interest fans of the comic book. Also, in a surprising twist, in the Secret Invasion story (a pivotal point in Marvel history), the Scrull people are portrayed as good guys rather than villains.
In Captain Marvel, which was shot by a team made up almost entirely of women, Carol Denvers is unlike male MCU characters in that she doesn't have a love interest. She's the MCU's most powerful hero; she stands on her own two feet, she can overcome every adversity, and she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. In short, she has a lot of qualities to be a role model for young girls today.
As part of the marketing strategy, March 8 was chosen as the release date for the MCU's first film starring a woman, so while a super woman was in the cinemas on International Women's Day, thousands of heroic women were also filling the streets of Istanbul.
On every night of March 8 since 2003, the Feminist Night March has taken place on İstiklal, Taksim's main boulevard. This march is in support of women's groups, forums, and other organizations, and they speak out against sexism, male violence, homophobia, and discrimination.
Every year, the organisers get a permit to walk down İstiklal, but this year, the Governor of Istanbul said he would only allow the march if they did it somewhere else. On the day of the march, Abdurrahman Dilipak, a journalist for the pro-government newspaper Akit, accused anyone who joined the Feminist Night March of "supporting prostitution."
On the day of March 8, the police closed the part of İstiklal where the march was to take place, and they didn't allow the women to gather at the planned place or start walking. The street was packed, and marchers were protesting with applause, whistles, and slogans. At this point, based on videos posted to social media, the police started attacking the crowd with pepper spray and rubber bullets.
The police intervention at the Feminist Night March and afterwards turned into something different, however. Burak Doğan, a journalist for Yeni Şafak, another pro-government newspaper, shared a video on his personal Twitter account, with the following claim: "Last night in Taksim during the call to prayer, these sneaky scumbags were protesting." After he shared the video, people started claiming that the march was a protest against the call to prayer. In his campaign speeches for the upcoming local elections, even the President and head of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, repeated this claim. Regardless of the joint statement released by a number of different women's groups saying they couldn't hear the call to prayer, and even though they said they were protesting the police and others trying to stop the march, the event took on an entirely different dimension.
These days, women who want equal rights, equal pay, equal opportunities, and equal representation are accused of trying to undermine the family, particularly by conservative and far-right factions. Some authoritarian university administrations have shut down gender studies institutes and departments. A similar process is happening all over Turkey, where there are policies that interfere with women joining the labour force and ensure women's demands will never be considered.
Despite this antiquated approach, it's undeniable that women's movements are gaining momentum around the world and taking hold in our lives. Woman superheroes are onscreen all by themselves, but the real-life heroes are struggling for their rights.
Regardless of how Captain Marvel becomes the leader of the Avengers and saves the world and the universe, in the near future women will get their rights and make the world a better place to live. No matter how hard some men may try to stop them, those men do not have the power to reverse what has begun.

From The Marketing Book Podcast:
Listen below
Perception: marketing is a "cash drain on business."
Reality: marketing is only a cost or cash-flow drain if it isn't done correctly.
Perception: marketing " isn't worth attention or effort."
Reality: you may not use marketing as a serious business tool because you either think it doesn't work or you haven't learned to use it properly.
Perception: marketing is all about "making things look pretty."
Reality: you've assigned low-level assistance and paltry budgets to the marketing function. Neither will impact your company's performance.
The truth is that your company's sales process would be a lot easier if you learned how to use marketing properly.
The problem is that most people who are running companies or have been thrust into a marketing role have not been trained for the task.
If people in that situation only read one book about marketing, this is the one to read now.

This was a gift from a friend. I honestly thought it wasn't going to be that great. But I'll be the first to admit this was one of the best advent calendars ever! Each piece was individually delicious and perfectly seasoned
Sep 24th 2019
The only advent calendar you need. Until next year.
A 24 day celebration of jerky. What could be better? Each selection was anticipated with unbridled glee, bright eyes, clapping hands, and not a little drool. Each morsel was savored to the fullest. To say it was life changing would be faint praise - it was David-Hasselhoff-on-a-unicorn-with-sprinkles amazing.
One downside: It is only 24 days - which makes the other 341 rather dull and lifeless by comparison. Please bring it back this year!

Best Advent Calendar Ever
I bought three of these - my husband and 2 sons were so excited to get them. They were actually excited to open them every day! Thank you!
Dec 17th 2018
Yummy vaca!
It's a fun gift for an adult. It brings out the child-like anticipation of the advent, while using a more adult inspired treat. The friend I got it for has absolutely loved the fun of opening one door at a time, and he said all the meat has been moist and delicious!

Like the person above me, I thought I only had 15 pieces. I tore the box open and found the tray was inserted upside down. The other 10 were still in there.

Tri-State Mining Maps
Mining began in the Tri-State area in 1848 when lead ore was discovered north of Joplin, Missouri. Further exploration was prompted in the 1870's when smelting plants were built in Kansas, increasing production of both lead and zinc. The largest discovery of ore happened in 1914, near Picher and Cardin, Oklahoma. The center of mining in the region moved to this area not long after. The Tri-State Lead-Zinc District was established in 1917.
Lead and zinc mining lasted in the region for over 100 years, from 1851 until 1967, when the reduction in prices for lead and zinc led to the decline and the eventual end of mining in the area. Missouri Southern State University acquired the Tri-State Mining Collection in 1979 from the Federal Bureau of Mines. The collection has been made widely available to the community including property owners, researchers, environmental agencies and groups, real estate developers, and engineers.
The Collection
The Tri-State Mining Collection at Missouri Southern State University contains over 4,000 mining Maps that document lead and zinc mining in Southwest Missouri, Southeast Kansas, and Northeast Oklahoma. The collection has important historical, environmental, and economic information for the region. Covering the time period from the 1860s through the 1960s, the maps provide detailed location information of mine shafts and drill holes in the area.To learn more about the collection, this history of the Tri-State District or to give feedback, visit our webpage here.

Uzbekistan Prime Minister insulted journalists and banned live broadcasts on television
The live broadcast of the meetings of the International Press Club (IPC) and the newly opened Uzbekistan-24 television channel a month ago is over, Kun.Uz reports.
Abdulla Aripov (left), Sherzod Kudratkhodzhaev
IPC through its Telegram channel informed on 23 August at 11.00 that the session with representatives of the Ministry of Public Education will not appear live.
However, no official comment on the cancellation of the live broadcast of the IPC is still available.
Meanwhile, the "Munosabat" programme led live by journalist Kuddus Aizamov 4-5 times a week on "Uzbekistan" TV channel disappears.
According to Ozodlik Radio (Uzbek service of Radio Liberty), demands to stop live broadcasts emerged at a meeting of Uzbek Prime Minister Abdulla Aripov and State Advisor to President Hairiddin Sultanov with journalists on 21 August in the media centre of the National Television and Radio Company (NTRK).
The journalists, who were present at the meeting which lasted six hours, confirmed the fact of the argument between the Prime Minister and the IPC moderator Sherzod Kudratkhodzhaev which ended with the order of angry Aripov to stop the live broadcasts.
"Premier Abdulla Aripov told the head of the IPC Sherzod Kudratkhodzhaev: 'You, boy, went too far. Who do you think you are?' Sherzod, who was angry, answered him: "Even though you are a prime minister, you have no right to shout at me." And a terrible squabble began," one of the journalists told.
According to him, in the end, Aripov said that henceforth "there will be no any online broadcasts, all of you will work keeping [tails] down. No live broadcasts, you will coordinate every broadcast with Hairiddin Sultanov. "
Prime Minister and State Advisor of the President want to return television in former times, Ozodlik Radio notes. According to participants of the meeting, Aripov reprimanded the chairman of NTRC Bobir Alikhanov, removed the appointed three days ago director of the "Uzbekistan" TV channel Khairullo Nuriddinov returning him to the position of deputy director, dismissed the director of the "Uzbekistan 24" TV channel Ozod Hamidhodzhaev who used to prepare seriously critical programmes about the social problems of the population, and in his place returned Nodir Tulaganov, who had been removed from the office. The deputy chair of the NTRK on technical issues Nusrat Khakimov and the cousin of the Prime Minister dismissed three months ago also returned to his previous position.
These actions of the prime minister caused tumultuous discussions among Uzbek segment users of Facebook who backed journalists and criticised the government's and the president's cowardice.
During the rule of Islam Karimov, live broadcasts on state television were practically impossible. With Shavkat Mirziyoyev's coming to power, the Uzbek publications began to allow themselves a slight criticism of local officials, cautiously raise problems related to roads, landscaping and the like.
President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev honouring the Day of Workers of the Press and Mass Media on 27 June named features that, in his opinion, distinguish real journalists:
"I consider real journalists to be representatives of this profession who boldly raise the issues of eliminating various barriers to our development, especially such negative manifestations as bureaucracy, indifference, extortion, corruption, for whom the duty and the meaning of life is the formation of public opinion irreconcilable to like vices," President Mirziyoyev said.
He noted that "to achieve it media professionals need not only professional knowledge and skills, life experience, a sense of responsibility for their word, but at the same time - a strong civic position and spiritual courage."
It seems that the prime minister does not share the opinion of the president or demonstrates that the words about freedom of speech and the like of the current head of state have equally little value, as the maxim of his predecessor. After President Mirziyoyev expresses his opinion about the offensive conduct of Aripov and the ban on live broadcasts it will be clear about his true position. Or he will not.

via enduswars.org (h/t: Brad Spangler):
Under Obama-Pelosi-Reid, the US has already sent about 35,000 more troops into the Afghanistan graveyard of empires. Now, Obama is considering another round of re-enforcements—an Afghan surge expected to number about 40,000 additional GIs. But there is a real faction fight in the administration about whether to escalate. Obama is getting plenty of advice from the war party—from Petraeus, McChrystal, and Mullen. It is time Obama, Pelosi, and Reid heard a clear message from a resurgent antiwar movement demanding no escalation and an immediate pullout of all U.S. forces from Afghanistan and Iraq, plus an immediate halt to Predator drone attacks and C.I.A. operations in the region.

David Ignatius at The Washington Post, claims the U.S. has a "responsibility" to use its military to simply "buy some time" for Kabul's effort to forge relations with the Taliban. What he calls "Mission Impossible" is chronicled in Dexter Filkins' feature at The New York Times Magazine, "Stanley McChrystal's Long War."

This graphic posted at The Washington Post website showing 65,000 troops in Afghanistan and 124,000 in Iraq at the end of September. By the end of October, 68,000 will be in Afghanistan and 120,000 in Iraq. The Obama Administration has approved 13,000 more "support troops" and is considering sending over 60,000 more troops to Afghanistan in 2010 for a full-scale counterinsurgency operation with no endgame—doomed by design with no end in sight. The so-called "withdrawal" from Iraq—which will still leave up to 75,000 troops there, indefinitely—will not see 'major planning' until 2010.

Todd Pittman at The Associated Press (AP) reports: Eight years after the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, an internet statement by the Taliban states it has no will to attack any countries, but "if you want to turn the country of the proud and pious Afghans into a colony, then know that we have an unwavering determination and have braced for a prolonged war" within Afghanistan.

The Justice Department will soon be in possession of Hillary Clinton's email server. Clinton finally relented after months of demands that she relinquish the personal email server she used while secretary of state. Clinton instructed her attorney's to hand the server over.
By KEN DILANIAN, AP Intelligence Writer (AP) The decision advances the investigation into the Democratic presidential front-runner's use of a private email account as the nation's top diplomat, and whether classified information was improperly sent via and stored on the home-brew email server she ran from her house in suburban New York City.
Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said she has "pledged to cooperate with the government's security inquiry, and if there are more questions, we will continue to address them."
It's not clear if the device will yield any information — Clinton's attorney said in March that no emails from the main personal address she used while secretary of state still "reside on the server or on back-up systems associated with the server."
Republicans jumped on Tuesday's decision to change course, as well as the additional disclosure that two emails that traversed Clinton's personal system were subsequently given one of the government's highest classification ratings.
"All this means is that Hillary Clinton, in the face of FBI scrutiny, has decided she has run out of options," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus in a statement. "She knows she did something wrong and has run out of ways to cover it up."
Federal investigators have begun looking into the security of Clintons' email setup amid concerns from the inspector general for the intelligence community that classified information may have passed through the system.
There is no evidence she used encryption to shield the emails or her personal server from foreign intelligence services or other potentially prying eyes. Kendall has said previously that Clinton is "actively cooperating" with the FBI inquiry.

Agfa services include end user instruction as well as education for trainers.
In addition to web based seminars, training for new software typically includes intense clinical diagnostic instruction for advanced imaging applications, medical technologist insights into quality control and addition of demographics, forms customization and other ways to enhance the workflow to save time.
This approach enables users to take what is working in their current environment but also be able to creatively transform their systems to better inform care teams and focus on patient outcomes.
Faster adoption of new technology
- One on one training for physicians
- Clinical user workflow training and support
- Train the trainer
- On-site or classroom administration training
- VNA / Enterprise Imaging administration
Agfa HealthCare's support has been very important to the success of the project, the colleagues agree: "When we started designing the workflows, we usually had one or two Agfa HealthCare people in our hospital for functional support.
They helped us with migrating the old image archive, which was extremely complex and extensive, and with integrating the Enterprise Imaging platform with the EMR, as well as delivering training to the key users.
We continue to receive on-site support from Agfa HealthCare about one day every two weeks, to help solve current issues and configure new things"

The Pizza Story! by: Michael Fritsch, owner, Eastside Big Tom / Big Tom Pizza
We keep getting the same question online and at the windows: "Why is a successful burger place getting into pizza?"
To my family and friends I've talked about opening up a separate pizza spot on the grounds for more than two decades. Obviously, there was no room to attempt anything out of the drive-thru, but I own the entire block front, so there's room, there just had to be the right time.
The right time came this fall. We'd had a great run over in the ice cream shack, the neighborhood embraced it in a big way, enough that I had to hire more staff over the spring and summer. The problem was, as a walk-up spot, the second the weather worsened, sales plummeted. Suddenly I had no sales to support four employees for five months. Normal industry practice is to button the place up, lay off, or fire the entire staff, and reopen in the spring. I couldn't do that. Not my style.
Instead, I spent 20K+ on pizza equipment, and we spent the next several months perfecting our craft. We passed out samples for the first two months, taking criticism and praise alike, until the criticism fell away and the praise grew. While everybody in town was preparing to watch football the first weekend of February this year, we quietly opened up and sold 108 pizzas. Success! The biggest smile on my face came from the fact that I was not only able to keep everyone employed, I hired a new staff member to help that first weekend. In the weeks since, we've had to hire six new staff members between burgers and pizza as the option to get either either or, or both, has driven a lot of families in to see us. It's pretty common to see families in the seating area eating both burgers and pizza at the same table.
Helping drive our pizza sales is the choices we're offering. We have Take N Bake, Gluten Free Take N Bake, & We Bake. 8″ and 15″ available in the We Bake. What sets us apart is that we make Pizzas that others can't. We can make you a Big Tom Pizza, a Dirty Bird Pizza, Taters N Gravy Pizza, Vegetarian Dirty Bird Pizza, Dessert Pizza (that doesn't involve cinnamon), as well the every day favorites that you expect to find in all the pizza places.
To make things easier, the website has been revamped for online ordering. www.eastsidebigtoms.com. Check out the menu, call it in, or use the app and order via your phone. Yep, there's a Big Tom app for your phone so you can order on the go. I really wanted this to work so I could keep everyone employed.
Am I going to lose focus of the burger stand? Hardly. I've still got the most amazing staff of any business in town, they've got my back. Plus, I'm still a terribly bothersome micro-manager, so I can't ever turn my back on the business completely, nor would I want to, as I have way too much fun. Now I've just got two or three things, if you count the ice cream shack, to muck about in all day.
OK, this went longer than expected, but that's not a surprise to any of you that have ever talked to me in person, it's kind of my style.
Thanks for the support Olympia/Lacey/Tumwater.
I love you all, Michael

This wall sticker tree goes from the collection. Therefore, the last copies are now discounted. Be quick!
This tree is home to the endearing Owl Family, which gives the girl's room a fun and special look. Attach the owls, flowers, and leafs to your own taste and create your own unique wall decal tree!
Tree format: 200 x 150 cm (hxw)
The sweet Owl Family consists of three large and three small owls. Together they enjoy living in this large tree decal, and they completely brighten up your daughter's room! In the tree, a big owl sits happily in its hollow underneath a lamp; the two sleeping owls and the three little ones can be placed anywhere you like on the branches. All parts of the wall decal set are separated on the sheet, so you can attach them exactly where you would like them. The pattern on the tree is a flower of life, a beautiful symbol for your (new-born) child! Will you make a tree with both leafs and flowers, or will you choose just flowers or a calm tree with only leafs?
The wall decal set contains:
- 1 tree trunk, with an owl in a hollow
- 3 little owls
- 2 sleeping owls (attached to each other)
- 19 large green flowers
- 11 large pink flowers
- 33 small flowers
- 70 leafs.
This wall decal tree is approximately 2 meters tall and 1.50 meters wide. The wall decal set comes in soft hues, with the key colours being pink and green. If wanted, you can expand the wall decal set with a little hill on which you can place the tree. Convenient if you want to place the tree a bit higher to put a commode or a bed in front of it, or to make it appear even taller!
The parts of this wall decal set can be attached to (almost) anything, as long as the surface doesn't have too much structure. Our wall decals are non-permanent, so you can just try out different positions without a problem. The decals can be easily attached without bubbles.
Would you like a taller or smaller tree, or would you like different colour owls and/or flowers? No problem, we are happy to alter the design of the wall decal tree to your wishes
This wall decal tree has been printed on extremely high-quality, thin - but super strong - self-adherent vinyl by using latex ink (better for children and the environment!). This material can easily be applied and repositioned, yet remains perfectly attached.

With your BBA and MBA in hand, you will be prepared for a career in public accounting as well as higher-level entry points into major banks, corporations, government agencies and other organizations. Starting salaries are growing for finance professionals in the U.S. and hiring demand for recent college graduates is on the rise. Students who choose to major in accounting go on to find jobs in the following career fields:
Accounting students and alumni speak out about St. Bonaventure, student life, Franciscan values, and the career advantages of being an accounting grad.
By Susan Anderson
Stop by St. Bonaventure University's Dee Financial Services Lab any time a Students in Money Management (SIMM) class is scheduled, and you will likely find the room filled to capacity — even on a sunny Friday afternoon of a get-away weekend.
"People are eager to be part of SIMM," said Sydney Cassagnol, a senior finance and accounting major, who noted the high level of freedom its members are allowed. "We have a lot of control and are given the opportunity to present ideas that we are really excited about."
Founded in 2004, SIMM is an experiential learning program in which students in any major can learn about the investment process while helping to manage approximately $500,000 in real assets.
This is Cassagnol's third semester in SIMM and her first serving as co-manager of the Equity Fund. From analyzing stocks to pitching a proposal, Cassagnol said that membership in SIMM offers a wealth of practical experience.
"This program has been one of the best experiences I have had during my time at Bonaventure," she said. "It helped me discover a passion for finance and it has given me hands-on experience in investing, which I think is one of the most valuable things I will take away from college."
Recent finance/MBA graduate Alex McLaughlin,'16, '17, noted that participation in SIMM led to his job at CitiGroup where he serves as a balance sheet control analyst. In fact, he had the job offer weeks before graduation.
"Being a member of SIMM gives you a competitive edge and prepares you for the real world," he said.
The secret to SIMM's popularity as well as the profound influence the program has on its members can easily be attributed to one man: Dr. Jim Mahar, '88.
Known as "The Finance Professor," Mahar has been teaching in the School of Business since 1999 and directing SIMM for 10 years.
"Most schools have a money management program for students but only for upperclassmen. Here at Bona's, we flip the model and invite students in from their first semester," said Mahar.
Members are assigned to a certain sector of the fund, such as technology, health care or utilities, and are responsible for reporting on the fund's holdings as well as any major news impacting that sector. They must also conduct research on equities and present pitches to buy, sell or hold an investment.
"It's not a lecture class. It's a 'jump into the deep end and we're here with a life preserver' class," said Mahar. "It forces people to get engaged. We have lots of discussion going on. They start out rudimentary and go up fast."
Another important aspect to the SIMM experience is the level of alumni involvement. The Friday Forum features a weekly visitor from an expert in the field, either in person or via video. It has connected students to alumni and other professionals from as far away as Japan and India and as close as New York City. The students also head to the trading floors of Wall Street and Chicago every fall and spring. And they interact with the SIMM Board on a regular basis.
"The questions the board members ask of the students are very rigorous, probably more so than many boards would ask their CEOs," said Mahar. "They also make sure there is progress year to year."
Mahar said he is proud that students get involved in SIMM as early as their first semester and remain throughout an academic career. That involvement "offers them leadership skills and helps them land jobs," he said.
For senior marketing major David Yousif, SIMM presents the perfect environment for hands-on learning.
"Dr. Mahar allows the students to think for themselves. It is truly a student-run organization. He does, however, know the right times to step in," Yousif said. "Especially when it comes down to fully understanding a concept."
Yousif has been involved with SIMM since his freshman year and today serves as co-director of marketing. He said what he appreciates most is the mentorship.
"Every year SIMM graduates some of the brightest students in the School of Business," he said, "so to experience a variance in top-tier leadership over the past three years has been incredible."
SIMM recently launched a crowdfunding site to boost funding for the program, featuring a $16,250 challenge match from alumni Chris and Eileen Madigan Kinslow and the SIMM Board. To make a gift and join the challenge, please visit www.sbu.edu/SIMMChallenge.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, we believe in the goodness of every person and in the ability of every person to do extraordinary things. St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. Named the #5 best college value in the North by U.S. News and World Report, we are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition.
Senior accounting major Patrick Hogan says choosing Bona's is the best decision he's ever made.

The Open-Air Museum offered a sprawling landscape with scenic views of Jugla Lake and traditional Latvian housing, which was open to the picnic guests for viewing. Despite spurts of rain, the venue was brimming with guests throughout the day.
Guests enjoyed a variety of traditional American foods and beverages and participated in numerous fun, family-friendly activities put on by Picnic Sponsors. Picnic Sponsors showcased their creativity through the activities they brought to the picnic. Guests could choose to indulge in a dry-ice "scienticfic cocktail" made by Zinoo, to paint a shipping crate provided by Gosselin, to play American football with the Riga Lions and more.
Live music performed by Cathouse Radio was a huge hit.

Fighting an infection in the body is usually a simple task for a healthy immune system. The person might have a low grade fever and feel a bit tired for a few days, but then the infection is gone. For an unhealthy immune system possibly over exposed and resistant to antibiotics, healing is not as easy. The lymph nodes become full and swollen causing bacteria and viruses to spread through out the body when they don't work as well any more. Fortunately, there are three alternative medical options that help heal the body when it can't heal itself anymore.
Risky Alternative Medical Option
Hydrogen peroxide is a liquid that can kill germs on contact. It is very inexpensive and frequently sold in most health care products at super markets. Besides being applied topically for wounds, a hydrogen peroxide infusion can also be injected intravenously to heal the body internally. There are risks to this procedure that include the following side effects:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness
- Death
Noninvasive Medical Options
Hydrogen peroxide received intravenously is risky, so there are two other options that can be used at the same time to boost the immune system instead. They are milk thistle seed extract and ozone therapies. Milk thistle seed benefits are amazing. This extract cleanses the liver, helps stop the spread of cancer and also flushes out the lymph nodes and reduces their size allowing them to function as a healthy filter stopping the spread of infection. Caring for the lymph nodes is especially important when a person is struggling to get rid of an infection. Milk thistle treatments can take several weeks to achieve the full benefits. Getting an ozone treatment is fairly quick in comparison. Ozone is frequently used to disinfect operating rooms in hospitals. It also been used to clean wounds with. It increases oxygen significantly. Bacteria and viruses cannot survive in this environment and die. It is currently being considered as a possible option for patients who have contracted Ebola. This dangerous virus has been causing mass panic due to its severe symptoms that can lead to death.
