About this item
Before Rachel Carson, there was George Bird Grinnell -- the man whose prophetic vision did nothing less than launch American conservation.Hailed by the New York Times as "the father of American conservation," George Bird Grinnell (1849-1938) , the Brooklyn-born son of a banker, looked beyond a burgeoning cityscape and saw a brighter future for the whole country. In Grinnell, John Taliaferro traces the naturalist's expansive trajectory from his time at Yale through his dozens of expeditions out west, riding alongside General Custer in the Black Hills before Little Bighorn, to the adventures that continued even after he became editor-in-chief of Forest & Stream. Drawing on no less than 40,000 pages of Grinnell's correspondence and dozens of travel notebooks, Taliaferro highlights a century of critical campaigns, from the protection of the vanishing buffalo and the creation of national parks that defined Theodore Roosevelt's administration to sensitive ethnographies of Plains Indian tribes and the founding of the Audubon Society and the Boone and Crockett Club. The result is an enthralling portrait of a man whose influence still guides the imperiled future of our national treasures. 16 pages of black and white illustrations

Founded in 1911 as a small workshop called née Lévy, Eugène Blum and Alice Blum laid the foundation for what was to become a global phenomenon. The name Ebel was created by combining the first letters of both the names of the owners. In the year 1932 the management of the company was taken over by Charles, Eugènes son. Charles started to build up a sales network across the globe including countries like the United States. The 1970s saw the company taking a drastic turn and went on to manufacture wrist watches. Throughout the years the company has been sold multiple times but the core values of the Blum and Levy are intact. Today, Ebel is well known for its bracelet designs and wave shaped links that are well-incorporated with contemporary elegance.

No matter, what's your purpose of using the LED, you must know the difference between warm and cool light.This has become even more important these days when there's a growing demand ofLED lights. In fact, temperature is one of the deciding factors of buyingLED andthesellers willalso come up with terms such as "3000K vs 4000K" whilepitching about their product. So, here's a detailed explanationof the Warm White and Cool White LEDs as well as the ideal situations when you should use them.
Let's Talk about LED Colours
The temperature of LED is closely related with the colours of LED Light.Technically, LED chips are designed to emit a specific light colour and from the red, blue, yellow, and pure white light spectrum.This is why LED technology is applied to various applications.The terms warm white and cool white are basically the references to low and high end of this white light colour spectrum.
The difference lies in the term 'Colour Temperature' i.e. the colour of the light. According to that, warm lights emit a colour that is close to natural red colour while the cool light appears somewhat bluish. To differentiate between the two, the Kelvin scale comes in handy. The Kelvin scale (determined by letter K) is basically the standard of measuring light in numerical values. So, when you are going to purchase the LED light, make sure you see by a 'K' on the packaging. If the range of the number lies between 2700-3000K, then it is considered to be a warm lighting. If the value lies between the ranges 5500-6500K, then it's a bulb with cool light. Anything in between is considered as a natural light bulb.
How exactly is Warm and Cool Lighting used?
There's an optimal way to use the warm and cool lights depending on colours.Warm light feels more natural in the evenings as it has a more relaxing feel to it. It is completely in line with the human circadian-rhythm in the evening, and helps your weary nerves to wind down and prepare the body for sleep.
Cool lighting, like LED Ceiling Lights, on the other hand induces alertness and energy. That's why it's perfect for indoor lighting during the day. But on using cool light in the evening can interfere with the body's natural clock.
Where These Lights are Used
Ideally, warm LED bulbs should be used in living spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and places where you spend some time for cosy retreat. Cool lighting on the other hand is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, study rooms and also for retail spaces, where much of the activity is involved. For an experimental approach, you can even mix and match warm and cool lights in the same space and enhance the aesthetics.
The Takeaway Point
A detailed knowledge about the colour temperatures help you get better ideas and makebetter decisions while purchasing the LED lights. But go a little experimental keeping your personal preference is mind to enhance the aesthetics.

The Five of Air shows a used car salesman. He is holding the paperwork of his latest deal. The signs suggest great deals will be made at this lot no matter what your financial situation. The salesman has a satisfied look on his face. His truth shifts like the pennants that blow freely in the breeze. Under these conditions he will not be successful. His gain is only temporary. Unfortunately we must deal with unscrupulous people. They seem to be ever present in our lives. The tales they tell and the justifications they make are not honest. Ultimately the responsibility for our well being is ours. Caution must be taken to ensure we are not being deceived. If so we can choose to walk away, no matter how good the deal. The contract and the price sticker are yellow, representing the intellect, which the salesman has manipulated for his own gain. The green grass is the only symbol of growth in the card, and it is restricted.

Sometimes events are all fun and games, and while entertaining guests is an important part of a meeting, a study from Marriott International and the PCMA Foundation found that attendees want more than amusement—they want meaning, too.
Now more than ever, guests want to understand the values and issues that are important to a brand. But talk is cheap: They don't want to just hear about it, they expect proof that organizations are acting on their word. In fact, 64 percent of consumers will not buy a brand's products or services if the brand doesn't align with the political or social issues they care about.
Now, your event might not be selling anything, but this trend highlights attendees' desire to better understand your meeting's values—and should those values connect with guests, you'll boost loyalty, increasing the chance that they'll attend and support future meetings.
So, take a stand. Here's how to make your meeting's message shine through.
1. Rally around one core message
Be it taking a stance on a political issue, supporting a local organization or vowing to be eco-friendlier, focus in on one central message, and choose your words wisely. Blanketed, vague messaging can confuse guests, or worse, make your event seem wishy-washy. Be clear with your intention, and attendees won't have to question what the event's all about.
2. Weave that message into every detail
Once you have a message in tow, it's time to show your dedication to it. You wouldn't want to say you're hosting a sustainable event without it actually being one—consistency is key. So think about how you can infuse your message into every detail of your meeting. If you're deciding between two décor themes, for example, which one resonates better with the issue your event is supporting? The answer might be as simple as picking the color scheme that matches your cause's colors.
The same kind of thinking should be the backbone of all event decisions, both what attendees see and what they don't. How can your internal processes support your message, too? In our sustainable event example, maybe you host a paperless event or food waste is composted. Whatever the end result may be, being transparent about back-end operations will boost your credibility and prove to attendees that they can take you at your word.
3. Let attendees know their impact, too
Just as attendees want insight into what you're doing to better a cause, show them how their actions can cause change, too. For example, many refillable water stations at airports include a digital ticker that counts how many disposable plastic bottles were spared.
If your meeting's message doesn't correlate with specific actions, consider donating a specified sum to a charity related to the cause every time an attendee exhibits positive meeting behavior: showing up to a session, arriving early or exchanging contact information at a network event.

Alan Pardew has pledged to come back "better and stronger" next season and admitted Newcastle United need to buy well to stem the rising tide of negativity at St James' Park.
Nine-man United ended the season with a 2-1 reverse at Anfield on a day when the hosts were pipped to the title and the visitors, who had Shola Ameobi and Paul Dummett dismissed, fell to tenth in the Premier League.
That meant Newcastle matched their pre-season target but the season's end has been toxic with calls for owner Mike Ashley to sell up and the manager to depart too.
Pardew now heads into an end-of-season meeting with Ashley to dissect where the campaign went wrong – and to make a case to be given the chance to put it right.
A summit in London is scheduled for the early part of the week and Pardew is certain where things went wrong – including his own performance among the factors.
He said: "I just think we're a club who in in the first half of the season were very, very competitive and had form for Europe to a degree.
"The second half we weren't good enough and the reasons are shared by us all, including myself.
"I wasn't good enough. So I understand I need to come back better and stronger and I will do.
"This club needs to recruit well in this period. We have bought good young players but we need, offensively, quality to come in and hopefully we can secure those and give our fans something to hang on to for the pre-season. We need to show them we're back to where we were in the first half of this season."
The United manager knows he is losing his popularity battle with certain sections of the Newcastle support and there were more chants for his removal yesterday, although a much-improved performance diluted those calls.
Pardew was given a ringing endorsement by opposite number Brendan Rodgers. He said: "I have to be honest, I can't believe the stick Alan Pardew has got. He's finished top ten. I understand the sheer scale of the club, Newcastle are an incredible football club with the size of it.
"They went close to Champions League football and they're a club who can be up there but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out what has happened there.
"I saw banners saying 'Pardew out' around the ground. The team hasn't bought a player in 18 months, they've sold their best player in (Yohan) Cabaye. He's not a magician. When he had the players there they just missed out on Champions League so it's not Alan Pardew's fault. It's not him. He's a wonderful coach.
"He showed when he had the players there's a good organisation about his team, his team was dynamic, the supporters loved it and they got into Europe the following season.
"They did well but it was difficult and I know because we were in the Europa League the first season I was here so I know how tough that is. The shouts and the bits I've seen about whether he's going to be there or not? He's perfect for Newcastle.
"I think he's shown that. If you're a manager and you take the club (nearly) to the Champions League and you don't sign a player permenantly then don't blame the manager. "
Pardew also argued against red cards for Dummett and Ameobi, saying referee Phil Dowd should have "managed" the game better.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we are sharing the words and writings of students from Northeast Ohio.
Here is Selena Smith's message:
"I am living Dr. King's dream because I am attending an incredible school that has opened so many opportunities for me, and it is an extremely diverse school.
I have a diverse set of friends and my family is also diverse.
I don't think my school would have been able to create such a community of students from different backgrounds and beliefs if it were not for Dr. King`s dream.
I am living his dream because I will continue to succeed in my classes, in sports, in college, and in a career after I earn a degree.
I am living his dream because people like me have opportunities that we didn`t have decades ago.
I am living his dream because I am a driven student, and I will go to college."

We have all been blessed with amazing people in our lives. Whether our acquaintances with them are short-term or last a lifetime, these individuals change us in unexpectedly remarkable ways. I gratefully acknowledge that I've been generously blessed in this regard. I honestly have no idea of who I would be if I hadn't shared the path with the many exceptional souls who have graced my life. The guide who led us during our visits to the Holy Land is counted among them. Yossi claims to be a non-believer who is incapable of praying. Yet, during our time together, Yossi revealed the God of Israel through much of what he said and did…
I never expected to visit Israel's holy places. That I've done so three times surprises me more than you can imagine. My first trip proved to be a homecoming of sorts. Yossi acknowledged early on that Israel is as much our homeland as it is his own. Yossi pointed out that our roots lie deep within Israel's soil just as his do. Because I'd researched most of our destinations beforehand, I often allowed Yossi's words to fade into the background while I absorbed the sites before me. I call this encounter a homecoming because I felt that I'd been to Nazareth and Magdala, Capernaum and Jerusalem a hundred times before. I'd visited these places and many others through my parents' accounts of Jesus' life, the scriptures, catechism classes, theology courses, several great homilies and good books. Over the years, I've developed enduring relationships with Jesus' mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Peter, Martha, Mary and Lazarus to name few. For most of my life, I'd pictured each of them interacting with Jesus. These images came to life with Yossi's every word regarding Jesus and the God to whom Jesus led the people.
My husband and I returned to Israel a second time to assist with the tour. This time, we helped to keep the group together while Yossi shared his wisdom regarding the sites and the God who seemed with us at every turn. This time, I found myself anticipating Yossi's commentaries as I'd recalled each one with surprising accuracy. This time, Yossi spoke with greater urgency when he asked us to pray for peace in his country. "I cannot pray," he reminded us, "so you must do this for me." This time, I told Yossi often that he talked to God far more eloquently than most people I know. Every time, Yossi smiled shyly before resuming his narrative.
In January, Mike and I traveled to the Holy Land once again. This was an emotional endeavor in many ways. This would likely be our last encounter with Yossi on Israel's soil. It would be our last opportunity to sail the Sea of Galilee and gaze upon the shoreline Jesus frequented. In Magdala, my tears welled up as the clouds rained upon the synagogue's ruins. It was there or nearby that Jesus and Mary Magdalene forged the friendship which took them to Calvary. During this trip, I couldn't help hanging on to Yossi's every word. Yossi's descriptions of Jesus' work, the politics of Jesus' time and the ruthlessness of the Pharisees tore at my heart. Jesus' people suffered greatly under Roman rule. Jesus' people also suffered greatly under the temple hierarchy who used their positions to secure their power and their own comfort at the people's expense. Yossi shook his head as he acknowledged that much hasn't changed since Jesus walked among us. "We need Jesus' God to bring about peace," Yossi insisted.
I share all of this because you and I are challenged to make the changes Jesus set in motion so long ago and which Yossi hungers for today. Our call begins with Sirach's (15:15-20) encouragement to trust God. When we trust God, we will work to improve this world because we realize that the outcome which awaits us is worth the effort. In his letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 2:6-10), Paul encouraged his followers to rely upon God's wisdom rather than that of the world. Paul insisted that when we think as God thinks, we're equipped to transform this world into God's image of what it should be. Matthew's gospel (5:17-37) tells us that Jesus called his disciples to do just that. Jesus listed the commandments one by one and then reinterpreted their meaning. It was not enough not to kill, not to commit adultery and not to lie. The Pharisees did as much. Jesus asked his followers to focus less upon the letter of The Law and more upon the spirit in which The Law was given. Once the disciples embraced the loving God to whom The Law guided them, Jesus knew they would indeed change their world.
It seems to me that Yossi has taken Jesus' challenge to heart. He never missed an opportunity to remind us to pray and then to work toward peace in his country and here at home. Yes, I have been blessed with many amazing people in my life. I count Yossi among them because he echoes Jesus' message and the essence of God's love for us in both his words and his actions. More importantly, Yossi inspires me to do the same.

RCCC is a beautiful facility. It is clean, well maintained and appears to be functional, efficient and effective. It provides residents with a home that is pleasant and addresses their needs.
The people of Ruthven are very fortunate to have the RCCC. This allows long term residents to live out their remaining years in Ruthven near family and friends and the community they have called "home" for many years.
I have some knowledge of Organizational Climate and Organizational Culture, I would rate both the Organizational Climate and Organizational Culture at RCCC as excellent.
This excellence doesn't happen by accident. My guess is, that it starts with the Board setting high expectations that are reinforced by the administration and permeate the entire staff. Fabulous!!! What a gift to the residents.

When I think of Atlanta, I think "Dirty South." I think of the word "crunk." I think of a city that has changed the face of hip-hop and R&B for the past two decades. By breeding such legends as Outkast, Lil' Jon, Ludacris, Usher, Da Brat, Toni Braxton, TLC, T.I. and Goodie Mobb, the A-T-L has become a stalwart in the lexicon of rap music. To describe this city, my man Jermaine Dupri once said, "big beats hit streets, see gangsters roamin'." And, with the parties (and beats) that last until around 8am, it's hard for me to imagine much rock 'n' roll being played in this town. Not to discredit the influential Atlanta musicians like John Mayer, Sevendust, The Black Crows or Mastodon, but their brand of music isn't what defines this Southern city for me.
Therefore, it seemed strange that the psychedelic/retro outfit, The Black Lips, have built a following in a city not well known for exporting such acts. Upon my first listen to their latest release, Good Bad Not Evil, I felt like I just walked on the set of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (and was ready to freak out with Kelly and her friends). If I didn't know any better, I'd have a hard time believing that this band isn't a product of the 60s, as their guitars rage on like they are a cross between The Doors and The Rolling Stones, with a slight pinch of Strawberry Alarm Clock.
Since their conception in 2000, The Black Lips have built quite a reputation for the antics that take place during their live shows and I could only imagine the chaotic atmosphere that would result when they start some of the sing-a-long songs off Good Bad Not Evil like "Bad Kids" or "Katrina." These spirited blues ballads move through chords at an addicting pace as this album traverses the landscapes of death, the loss of innocence, love and lust. There is a real gritty and unrefined feeling with Good Bad Not Evil, and it shows that The Black Lips never tried following rules of conventional rock 'n' roll. It's a little rough around the edges and not quite as polished as some multi-platinum selling rock bands out there. But, like many indie bands, these blemishes are all a part of their appeal. Yet, I get a sense that The Black Lips meant to do it this way and isn't a band looking for that typical studio sound. Still in my infancy as a fan, I'm thinking that I might have to make a few more trips to Atlanta.
Good Bad Not Evil is out now on Vice.

Alicia Vikander is a 29-year-old Hollywood rising star. The rapid development of the acting career of a girl speaks about her incredible talent and desire to achieve more and more peaks every year. In addition, Alicia has a delicate sense of style: the girl loves simple clothes, but complements her with interesting accessories. For example, she has a rather large collection of glasses that help her hide from annoying paparazzi. In the article we will reveal the secrets of the success of the actress, tell you about her biography, filmography and style. Enjoy reading!
Born girl in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. Her parents, actress Maria Fal-Vikander and psychologist Svante Vikander, divorced when Alicia was two months old. Despite the fact that the mother raised the girl on her own, the father also maintained a relationship with her daughter, often taking her away for the weekend. By the way, Alicia has five paternal brothers and sisters.
The creative makings of Alicia and the craving for public speaking appeared in early childhood. Then the mother, without hesitation, gave her daughter to the Royal Swedish Ballet School, in which the future Hollywood star studied for 9 years. In various interviews, she with joy and gratitude recalls those times, because the incredible plasticity, endurance and tempered character are the qualities that Wikander brought up during her studies. But the desire to become an actress in the footsteps of the mother outweighed, and the girl still realized her dream in the film industry. It all started with episodic roles in "Darkness of Truth" and "Rain". Then there were more ambitious projects, and in some of them the future celebrity played the leading roles: in the second series and To Something Beautiful series. For her second job, Alicia received the most prestigious award in Sweden – "Golden Beetle" in the nomination "Best Actress". This is the first film award of the actress, but more – more. By the age of 29, Wikander won the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Oscars, the Choice of Critics, the Empire and the Satellite for the supporting role in the film "Girl from Denmark". Alicia was also nominated several times for Golden Globe, Teen Choice Awards and a number of other prestigious awards.
Personal life
Alicia Wikander in 2017 tied his fate in marriage to Irish actor Michael Fassbender. Young people met on the set of the film "Light in the Ocean", in which they played leading roles. The work on the common project brought the colleagues so close that their desire soon turned into a novel. After 3 years, the couple got married. By the way, not only Alicia loves to wear a sun accessory. Her husband also prefers to "hide" from curious media. In the photo below, a couple is walking through sunny Sydney. Wikander's glasses are from Dior, and Michael put on an accessory from Ray-Ban. The updated version of the sun accessory of the actress – Dior DIORONDE1 model, and the classic Sunglass hut Aviator – as worn by Michael Jackson.
Alicia Wikander deftly balances between art-house projects and large franchises, from which she does not fill her roles with labels. On the contrary, each of her shooting at the cinema is a work separately worked out, perfect to perfection and brilliance. For example, in early 2018, the franchise of "Lara Croft" came out on big screens, in which Alicia Vikander replaced Angelina Jolie. For this role, the girl went through a 7-month hard physical training, during which she trained in the gym 5-6 days a week and sat on a strict diet. As a result – a relief body and +6 kilograms of muscle mass. Her coach, former hockey player Magnus Ligdbek, in an interview with the press said that Alicia has an endless supply of energy and a desire for a goal. The girl did not miss a single lesson. What came of it – see the movie "Tomb Raider: Lara Croft". In total in the arsenal of the actress – 67 films. Below are the best of Alicia's films in our humble opinion:
Alicia Wikander has a tender and quivering beauty. Her open look, subtle facial features and a miniature figure captivate, and the preference for simple and modest dresses makes the actress a real Scandinavian style icon. In the wardrobe of the girl black, white and gray color prevail, and for the red tracks she chooses feminine images in calm colors. Alicia Wikander's glasses are a symbiosis of laconism and lightness that naturally fits into her every image. For example, the girl walked through the streets of Beverly Hills in dark shades in 2019 sunglasses Celine CL 41089 / S. This accessory famous brand fits a discreet image of the actress, is not it?
Below the photo presents more gentle images of Alicia in bright colors. And in addition to such a light and summer bow, glasses like MICHAEL KORS MK2059 CARTAGENA have become. The coloring of the havana is perfect for the dark blonde hair of the actress.
In life, Wikander does not wear vision glasses and does not even use them as image. But on the screen one of her heroines tried on a setting similar to Sunglass hut usa ST6378. Does Alicia have such an accessory, what do you say?
Alicia Wikander has just recently started her film career and has achieved incredible popularity over several years. Why, you ask? The whole secret – in the hard work, perseverance and strength of spirit of the young girl. We wish creative success and inspiration to the Swedish beauty!

What's the best present you could give someone this Christmas?
The festive season may be jolly and bright, but for Ireland's elderly it can be anything but. As people get involved in Christmas activities and many clubs and organisations close for the holidays, loneliness can have a devastating effect on the older community – something that Age Action is once again highlighting this year.
Lead man of Dublin's Hunting the Brave, John Sadlier, is raising money for this brilliant cause with his debut solo single, Dare to Dream (this Christmas). All proceeds from the sale of this great Christmas tune go to Age Action, to make the festive season a little better for the country's older people. Check out the unforgettable tune below:
Hunting the Brave is an alternative folk band hailing from Dublin. Their music is a blend of alternative pop and the soft subtleties of folk, with a dynamic range of guitar and piano-led songs.
Along with John's first solo single, 2014 has been a huge year for Hunting the Brave, who supported The Coronas and White Lies, and were also firm favourites at all the big festivals, including Indiependence. After all this success, John felt it was only fair to give something back.
"Christmas is an exceptionally tough time for elderly people who face loneliness throughout the year. When I wrote this song, I really wanted to use it to create awareness for those less fortunate than myself. I couldn't think of a better charity to help than Age Action and I am delighted to be working alongside them this year. If I help one person I will be glad I could make a difference."
Robin Webster, CEO of Age Action, is thrilled to be involved in this Christmas campaign. 'We are delighted that John has chosen Age Action this Christmas. By downloading the song Dare to Dream the public not only get a great single but also help our work with vulnerable older people this Christmas'.
Dare to Dream (This Christmas) is available on iTunes from November 19th 2014. Follow Hunting the Brave on Twitter and Facebook to keep up to date with news.

You might think that your aviation policy gives you all sorts of cover but a recent claim problem gives much food for thought.
It all started with the Passenger Liability section of the standard Lloyd's AVN1A policy, which is the basis for just about every aircraft policy worldwide.
The AVN1A (and subsequent policies) had a Proviso after the operative clause which bluntly states:
"Before a passenger boards the aircraft the insured shall take such measures as are necessary to exclude or limit liability for claims ... to the extent permitted by law."
In RSA we found this a bit heavy as, while in the UK you can't contract out of your negligence, in RSA we can. The result would have been that in RSA there would be no cover at all since the owner/operator should have contracted out of his liability by issuing a ticket or some such – even on a private flight.
The answer was to issue an SA wording which aimed at commercial flights only. Then, because we felt that it would be wrong if a local charter could get out of the entire risk while an international one could not, due to the machinations of the Warsaw Convention, and had to pay some - rather small - compensation, our insurers then applied the Warsaw limits (note: just the limits, not the full provisions of Warsaw) to local flights. Theoretically under RSA law this gives a limit of R100,500 (about £7000 or $14000 – big deal!).
Think about it – you are flying a charter operation or even a ducky little airline. You should issue tickets which limit your liability to not more than the Warsaw limits, regardless of whether the Warsaw Convention applies.
Your pilot cocks it up negligently and you get sued for R10 million. Your insurer will only pay you R100 500. If you find yourself losing the case against the passenger and have to fork out R10mn you are going to be short R9 899 500. Ouch!
This calls for some thought since if the flight was a private one the passenger might also sue for R10 million, and if you lose the case then your insurer will have to pay you the full amount. It seems somewhat unfair that just because it is a commercial flight your indemnity becomes small to invisible.
Perhaps CAASA, SAFSIA, SAIA, SACAA and the rest of the alphabet soup should have a look at this.
OK, so now RSA is on Montreal 1999 (M99) instead of Warsaw, and M99 calls for about R1,25 million as damages - what then? Well your policy may only refer to Warsaw so you might still get stuck with R100 500. Also bear in mind that under the old Warsaw the passenger could break the limit only if he could prove that the carrier operated recklessly and all that. Under M99 it is the carrier that has to prove he (I don't know why carriers should be male, but that's English for you) wasn't negligent – not quite so easy - so there is a real chance you will get hit for unlimited damages. The nasty bit is that your insurers are not the slightest bit concerned with that – the policy only says you must limit your liability to Warsaw limits (and maybe M99). It doesn't say that if this limit is broken the policy will pay more. So there you are – R9 million worse off.
I am sure the lawyers will have a happy field day on this so we should get it corrected right now.
Perhaps the policy should be worded that you must contractually limit your liability to R1 million or such other amount as is awarded in court. By Henry Tours, Aviation Consultant

Horex presented their new dark model, aptly named VR6 Raw. Like the Ford Model T, the Raw is available in any colour as long as it's black. There's a choice of glossy and satin finish though.
The 1218cc six-cylinder engine produces a decent 163 ponies, which are conveyed to the rear wheel by a six-speed transmission. The suspension is by Öhlins, front fork is a 43mm USD and the rear sock is the ever-popular TTX36. The brakes are also best you can buy, the pads are squeezed against the discs by Brembo M50 calipers. The weight is 220 kilos, which is quite alright, considering the massive appearance. And price… starting at 35 500 euros, it'll be sure to keep the peasants away.

Charlotte comes from London. Her partner's posting brought her to Belgium in January 2016. Since then, every day is an adventure. She shares her time between work and fun wanders among the cobbled streets of Brussels where there's always a new bar or restaurant waiting to be discovered. She shares with Expat.com her life in what she describes as being a very European city with a laidback lifestyle.
Hi, Charlotte, where are you from and what brought you to Belgium?
I'm a Londoner. Before moving to Brussels in January 2016, I was working in London. I don't think it's easy for everyone to leave London but as a Londoner, it's nice to have a break from the big bustling city. I could never live in the countryside, but a smaller European city is perfect, for now.
There wasn't much choice. My partner has been living abroad with his business, and they proposed another European move. We debated some other European cities. However, Brussels appealed to us as it is full of expats, businesses, and institutions from all over the world. We thought it would be easier for me to find a job. It was.
What is the process for an English expat to move to Belgium?
My top tips are to make sure you complete all the relevant procedural steps before leaving, such as ending your phone contract, any standing orders and informing the HMRC of your move. Once you have secured your accommodation in Belgium, you need to register as a citizen at your local commune. It is an administration burden, so make sure you take everything they advise you need, copies, cash, and passport-size photographs. Once you've taken the first steps, you can open a bank account, get a mobile contract, and work in Belgium. After that, the police will visit you for an interview, or you may have to go to the police — it depends on how busy they are.
What is your favourite thing about Brussels?
Brussels isn't as exciting as Paris, Rome, or Vienna. However, if you know where to look, there are plenty of gems. I have discovered some of the city's gems and have fallen for its charm. In truth, I can see myself living here for a long time — but who knows what the future has in store.
If you are visiting Brussels over a weekend, there is the obligatory walk around Grand Place and viewing of Mannekin Pis. You should get yourself a bowl of moules frites. Other activities include a tour of a brewery, the Comics Art Museum, a walk around the Royal Parks, a visit to the local market at Flagey, Italian food in Chatelai, and shopping at Avenue Louise.
What has surprised you the most about Belgium?
Most of my friends are expats. It's just the way it worked out.
What type of accommodation is available for expats?
There are plenty of flats, rooms, and houses to rent in the city centre. We had an estate agent showing us around 20 flats within our price range.
What are the local labour market's features?
It's not super easy to find a job in Brussels. Lots of people from all over the world want to work in Brussels. Therefore, there is a lot of competition. As an expat, you may find an English speaking role in a major international business or a law firm.
How do you find the lifestyle in Belgium?
For me, Belgians are laid back. They have a relaxed routine with a healthy work-play balance. Brussels isn't as fancy as other cities, which means you will find lots of people in sneakers and jeans in the bars and restaurants. Also, they like food — a principle that is paramount to me.
How is everyday life for you in Brussels?
Just as for most people, I wake up, head to work, work, go home, eat, sleep and repeat. But my top things that jazz up my everyday life in Brussels are: freshly baked pastries en-route to work, cycling lanes, food markets — especially the Wednesday Chatelain market for wine tasting and dinner, the tram, the architecture, the cobbled streets, and the folk street bands.
Could you share your most memorable experience in Belgium?
Only about an hour away from Brussels, and you can be on the sandy beach of De Haan soaking in the sun, or in the Ardennes hiking through the woodlands. Belgium has a lot to offer, including the canal cities of Bruges and Gent. It's a great place to live, and you are a stone's throw away from many other European destinations.
What is your opinion on the cost of living in Brussels?
While it is cheaper than London, especially the rent, I have noticed that groceries in the local shops and supermarkets are rather pricey here. Hence I often visit the local markets for better prices and fresher fruit and veg.
Is it easy for an expat to live in Brussels?
I think the hardest thing for any expat is missing home and making your new city feel like home. In my opinion, it depends on you, not the city. If language is your concern, don't fret, pretty much everyone speaks English in Brussels.
How do you spend your free time?
I like discovering new restaurants and cooking at home, socialising with friends in the local bars, restaurants, and markets. I also like travelling to other European cities like Amsterdam and Vienna and exploring the Belgian coast and hills.
What do you think of the local cuisine? What are your favourite dishes?
I don't eat Belgian dishes that often, and I wouldn't class them among my favourite meals. I recently had a semi-typical Belgian dish — meatballs with Belgian fries, and it was truly delicious. The Belgian fries is, of course, a classic and well worth picking up when touring around Brussels, especially after too much beer.
I am a huge fan of Italian food, the ever so simple and scrumptious dishes — pasta and pizza. There are plenty of amazing Italian restaurants in Brussels. I learnt that many Italians immigrated to Belgium for work in the mines. In fact, I recently read there are more Italians in Belgium than any other nationality (other than Belgians, obviously). So don't feel bad if you find yourself in an Italian restaurant in Brussels, really, it's pretty much a local restaurant.
What do you miss the most about your home country?
Good teabags and marmite.
What has motivated you to write your blog La Petite Rose à Bruxelles?
I decided to start my blog after arriving in Brussels as a way of keeping in touch with my family and friends at home. As my followers have grown, I've enjoyed recording and sharing my experiences. I'm an over-sharer anyway and feel like the world is my friend. So come join in.
Could you give us some tips that soon-to-be-expatriates in Belgium will benefit from?
The move will probably be an organising challenge and keep you very busy but make sure you make lots of time for hanging out with family and friends — they are important and will support you when you miss home. Organise your Skype/Facetime/WhatsApp apps to keep in touch with home. Most of all, have fun, it's an adventure — whether it works out or doesn't, you made it!

text: Dr. Bryant and staff are the best!! I tore the patella tendon in both knees. From my first visit to my last, I felt welcomed, comfortable, encouraged, and supported by the entire staff. Dr. Bryant collaborated with my surgeon throughout the entire process. During therapy, she knew when to push and when to back off a bit. She would listen to any concerns I might have with my rehab and adjust accordingly. They were flexible and accommodating with appointments. I couldn't ask for a better rehab experience and would, without hesitation, recommend them to anyone. It was a bittersweet moment when I didn't need to go anymore. I was glad to have progressed in my recovery but was sad to not see Dr. Bryant and her staff on a regular basis. I miss them and still stop in when I'm in the area.

Pre-Abortion Assessment
When considering an abortion, your health and safety is important to us. We are here to help you sort through all of your questions and concerns. You can make your own, informed decision.
Pre-Abortion Assessment:
- Clinical Pregnancy Testing and Verification
- Limited OB Ultrasound
- Gestational Age Determination
- Complete Pregnancy and Abortion Options Consultation
- Pre- and Post-Abortion Patient Education
Here are 3 important pieces of information you need to have before making a decision about an abortion or the abortion pill.
This is always the first question to ask. At your appointment, you will meet with a nurse who will provide a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant or not. Based on your results and situation, a free ultrasound to confirm a viable pregnancy and estimate how far along you are may be scheduled. Our center is here to help you confirm your pregnancy on a more personal basis, one-on-one, and to look at your particular situation and health factors. Medical services are provided by licensed medical personnel.
It is essential to take the time to do some research before you make your final decision. There are risks, just as there are with any other medical procedure. Gaining knowledge will empower you to make your own informed choice.
An abortion is a medical procedure that cannot be undone. There are different abortion procedures depending on how far along you are in this pregnancy. Each procedure has medical, psychological and emotional risks. We can provide information regarding abortion procedures and risks. For women who need emotional support after an abortion, we have trained personnel who can help.
Methods of Abortion
Women report a range of emotions after an abortion. This can include:
- Depression
- Thoughts of Suicide
- Feelings of Grief
- Anxiety
- Lowered Self-Esteem
- Regret
- Sexual Dysfunction
- Avoidance of Emotional Attachment
- Flashbacks
- Substance Abuse
For some women, these emotions may appear immediately after an abortion or gradually over a longer period of time.
Counseling or support before you make a decision to have an abortion is very important. If family help and support are not available to you, talking with a spiritual or professional counselor before having an abortion can help you better understand your decision. At Hope Pregnancy Center, our advocates and chaplain are available to listen and talk with you.
Remember, it is a woman's right to be fully informed by her doctor prior to any procedure. A woman should be encouraged to ask questions.
Our Center offers peer counseling and accurate information about all pregnancy options. This center does not offer abortion services or abortion referrals.
This information is intended for general educational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical advice.
If you're not thinking about abortion, we would love to walk with you through pregnancy and parenting as well. See your options.
Free & Confidential Pregnancy & STI Services
We do not perform nor refer for abortions.

That rain refilled the cypress swamp, and revived thousands of frogs that had been slumbering in the mud. Panning around their habitat, you can't see them, but you can hear them.

Tom Winpenny continues his highly successful series of Messiaen recordings with two major works which perhaps exemplify the difference between pre- and post-war musical ideals: the exotically colourful Les corps glorieux of 1939 followed by the more modernist Messe de la Pentecôte of 1949-50. The newly renovated organ of Hildesheim Cathedral by Seifert provides an ideal tonal palette captured with both clarity and majestic space. Winpenny is on excellent form and his performances are to be highly commended.

Rodney was a Melmacian Cockroach that escaped to planet Earth in ALF's spaceship. ALF and Brian named him after Willie's brother.
Although in the beginning Rodney was small and relatively harmless, exposure to certain chemicals found in Earth bug sprays caused him to grow to the size of a Human and become very dangerous. After many failed attempts that only resulted in Rodney growing larger and larger, ALF finally managed to kill the creature using Kate's perfume.

My son has a 2004 Toyota Tundra with 40,000 miles on it. A Toyota dealer in Los Angeles convinced him that he needed to have new front brake pads and the rotors turned (which might be true). The dealer also sold him a "BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSH" for an additional $150.00. The Toyota factory recommended maintenance schedule says nothing about such a service.
I've heard of bleeding the brakes on older cars if they get air in the lines, but a "brake system flush" seems to be nothing more than BLEEDING THE CUSTOMER! Would anyone care to comment on what possible justification there is for this other than dealer service sales revenue enhancement?
My son has a 2004 Toyota Tundra with 40,000 miles on it. A Toyota dealer in Los Angeles convinced him that he needed to have new front brake pads and the rotors turned (which might be true). The dealer also sold him a "BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSH" for an additional $150.00. The Toyota factory recommended maintenance schedule says nothing about such a service.
If the Toyota Factory maintenance schedule doesn't specify such a service you don't need it done.
The dealer is just trying to pad his companys pocketbook.
The only time the brake fluid would require changing is if water was found in it.
The reluctance of some manufactures to recommend a brake fluid flush every 2 years is an error.IMHO. This is a case of when following the manufactures instructions are not in your best interest. Brake fluid is hydroscopic (it absorbs water) I dont need Toyota to tell me that water in my brake fluid is OK. BMW has been requiring brake fluid flushes every 2 years for at least the past 25 years. I have very infrequently had to preform repairs on the hydraulic part of the BMW brake system.Water free brake fluid will give better brake system performance. Replacing brake fluid is not a myth.But they sure did try to beat you up on the price. Takes 20min. tops. What ever happened with silicon brake fluid?
I can't see your Toyota maintenance schedule from here, but it is very possible that the manufacturer does specify a brake fluid change every 30k. Some Japanese car and truck manufacturers do specify this maintenance procedure, but I can't say for sure if Toyota does.
That being said, there is a difference between a drain/refill job and a flush, with the flush obviously being a more expensive–and probably unnecessary–procedure. I suggest (as I do very frequently) that you consult the maintenance schedule in your glove compartment regarding the possibility that you are supposed to change the brake fluid periodically. But a flush? Nope!
A few cars can actually benefit by a brake flush now and then. The problem is that many dealers and independent garages try to sell one to every customer who walks through the door. They don't even check. The same is true for the transmission flush and the "air induction service," or fuel injector cleaning. At least your son can be confident he can go another five years before considering another brake flush.
Usually a brake system flush is part of a brake job. Since brakes are a wear item, they won't be on the PM schedule, therefore the fluid flush would also not be on the schedule. $150 for a flush sounds high to me though, but you did say Los Angeles.
BTW, you always flush a brake system if you haven't removed any of the lines. You don't "drain and refill" as that would unnecessarily introduce air into the system requiring a bleeding of the system after.
JMHO, but the brake fluid should be changed ever so often and at 5 years of age, it's due. Brake fluid attracts moisture which in turn starts the corrosion process on master cylinders, calipers, wheel cylinders, etc. Aluminum does not rust but it will pit and once pitted it is recommended that the part be replaced rather than attempt a rebuild.
Now to address the question of why the maintenance schedule does not mention this. It's simple. Car makers, and not just Toyota, promote the idea that their vehicles are close to maintenance free. Skip this, skip that, put this or that off until xxxx freezes over, etc. They don't want the car owners to even consider for one minute the amount of money spent on preventative maintenance.
There's a lot of other things that are not recommended that should be done no matter what the maintenance schedules state.
Transmission fluid should be changed at 30k miles intervals, fuel filters at 15-20k mile intervals, spark plugs should never be left in for 100k miles, etc, etc.
Some car makers even state that mechanical valve lifters should not be inspected/adjusted until well over a 100k miles or even never. This of course is also wrong headed. If the car makers feel so strongly about this issue then they should provide a lifetime warranty for that certain number of people who are going to suffer engine damage because they DID follow the recommendations to ignore it until whenever.
As I posted brake fluid flush on BMW is preventive maintiance has been for 25years. At some chains I worked at (Midas.Brake Masters AZ. Brake Max Pep Boys) it was always sold as a extra,never inclusive in a brake job. But I personally do think it should be part of a "brake job". Come to think about it it was never inclusive at GM Honda or Kia

Even though my goal was similar to that accomplished during my visit of the 9th ‒ ask 50 groups comprised of both men and women if they came from the capital of a given American state ‒, I had to deal with certain difficulties that were virtually absent the last time around. First of all, there was the rain, which stopped by on three occasions to disrupt my flow. In addition, I encountered some serious mental obstacles, especially when I doubted myself and consequently hesitated to approach several groups. To get myself to persevere through these trying moments, I sometimes recalled a statement that I had heard last week from Miami Heat forward/center Chris Bosh. He said the following during his press conference after the Heat lost Game 5 of the NBA Finals against San Antonio Spurs: "When you are overthinking too much, you get into your own way". Lovely.
It took me more than three hours ‒ or what seemed like an eternity ‒ but I made it to Cheyenne, Wyoming, otherwise known as State Capital Number 50.
The following are the sites that I discovered along the way.
Gare du Nord
Paris' premier train station (gare) is also one of the busiest in Europe, if not the busiest. It's where you can catch trains to England, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and Northern France.
This is where the afternoon got started. And the kick-off was certainly not smooth. I needed to approach two groups before I left the site, and I ended up hesitating on the first candidate, then the next, then the next, all the while walking around the corner of the train station. I even thought about tanking the operation as I held myself scoreless. I eventually mustered enough courage to push through, and after the first approach, I was good to go.
Eglise Saint-Vincent-de-Paul
A church (église) built during 1824 to 1844 on the site of the ancient Saint-Lazare prison enclosure.
Gare de l'Est
Another of Paris' six main train stations, located close to Gare du Nord, this one caters to several destinations east of Paris, including Reims, Strasbourg, Munich, Frankfurt, Luxembourg.
Jardin Villemin
A garden (jardin) located on the site of a former military hospital of the same name.
Upon entering the garden, I saw a group of 20 or so people having a picnic in a semi-enclosed corner. Some were eating, and others were playing pétanque. The garden being virtually empty of groups at that time of day, I decided to go say hello to the picnickers. This was not without some anxiety.
As soon as I walked into their space, a guy from the group came to greet me as I was about to start my routine. Before I could finish, he stopped me, lashing out a barrage of statements, sometimes in French, sometimes in English, that left me a little lost: "I don't speak English. I speak Japanese, you? Chinese? I speak Chinese. I am Arab. You speak Arab? I don't like English people." He was being totally difficult, or maybe it was simply his nature, but I didn't budge. Even though I came to expect that he would not understand my question, I still had to ask it though, and in English: "Are you from Annapolis, Maryland?" Without a surprise, his response was incoherent. But he created a wonderful opening for me to escape. Facing me, he pulled out his hand inviting me for a handshake and, at the same moment, turned his torso away slightly, as if he was posing for someone taking a picture in front of us. Then he shouted, "Photo!", and amusingly enough, having understood what was going on, I posed. He smiled at me, after which he went to join his group. Suddenly alone, I collected myself and left the area.
The least ‒ and the only thing ‒ that I could say that was my mission had been accomplished.
Canal Saint-Martin
On the border of Jardin Villemin lies this 4.5-kilometer long canal, whose course through the 10th arrondissement is open or visible (as opposed to underground, like its course through the neighboring 11th). Its construction began in 1805 and lasted until 1825, due to difficulties of carrying out such an extensive work in an already very urban city. The canal is home to 9 locks and can be crossed via 2 movable bridges, 2 fixed bridges, and 6 footbridges.
It was here that I first witnessed the mechanism of locks four summers ago. I thought that it was the coolest thing to experience.
During my stroll, I noticed that there were a lot of English speakers around the canal. It was also a Sunday afternoon. In addition, there seemed to be many trendy places to eat and drink in the neighborhood, and the mood appeared to be cheerful, in spite of the visiting rain. I suppose that it all attests to the charm of this popular area. Some people undoubtedly find it romantic.
As far as Operation 50 First States is concerned, I encountered my most serious doubts along the canal. While groups of people were frequent on my path, I just was not sure how to manage the situation. I was asking myself a lot of questions: "Should I approach that family with kids? The pregnant woman with a stroller who's accompanied by her husband? This guy clearly kicking game to the girl walking with him? That group of teenagers? What if those people coming up are Americans? Yes, I was right, they are Americans, good thing that I did not approach them. But it would have been funny if I had, right? This is just too weird. Not to mention daft." Yet all I needed to do was to ask two groups the same question that I had already asked more than a thousand times, and then I could leave the canal for good. It took a decent while and some repeated steps, but I eventually pulled through. Go me!
Hôpital Saint-Louis
A hospital that specializes in dermatology, as well as hematology, oncology, and plastic surgery.
|Quadrilatère Saint-Louis
|Quadrilatère Saint-Louis
|Exit to Place du Docteur Alfred Fournier
This hospital has one of the aesthetically pleasing grounds that I have ever seen in a Parisian hospital. Then again, I have not been to many hospitals in Paris.
As I walked on a sidewalk across from the hospital, I noticed a young couple headed in my direction. Since it was time to ask a guy the question, I went to the guy of the couple and asked: "Are you from Trenton, New Jersey?" I found him smiling after he heard the question. Still cheerful, he replied: "No. You thought I was from there?" I then conceded, saying: "No. I was just bored." He let out a bigger smile, and the girl who was with him was amused. We went our different ways afterwards. It was the highlight of the my day.
Place de la République
This square (place), which borders the 3rd, 10th, and 11th arrondissements, is one of the largest of Paris at more than 33,000m². It is located at the site occupied in the 14th century by the Porte du Temple stronghold, at the Wall of Charles V, one of the seven former city walls surrounding Paris. Formerly named Place du Château d'Eau, the square became, in 1883, home to a large monument symbolizing values dear to the Republic : liberty, equality, fraternity. Each of these values is represented on the monument by a statue fixed to a central column, on which stands a "Statue de la République" in the form of Marianne, the national emblem of France.
Today, the square is popular meeting place in Paris as well as a top site for demonstrations and protests.
It was only during my stroll that I discovered the new look of Place de la République, which was inaugurated on June 16. The square is now much more pedestrian than it was during my previous visit. I do not remember having seen a grand square in Paris so accessible on foot before. The atmosphere was especially playful, with residents and tourists everywhere. Until the rain revisited and the square suddenly became vacant (see above).
Porte Saint-Martin
A monument commissioned by Louis XIV to commemorate his military victories, this 18-meter high triumphal arch built in limestone and marble was erected on the site of a former gate of the Wall of Charles V.
Passage Brady
This passage, constructed in 1828, is one of two iron-and-glass covered arcades located in the arrondissement. It links Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis to Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin, and is famous its numerous Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi restaurants.
This may be where I had my first Indian meal in Paris, more than 10 years ago.
One thing that I quickly sensed upon entering this 216-meter long passageway is that the groups of both men and women that I crossed paths with would be rare. And I didn't want to pace the passage back and forth waiting for the right candidates to show up; that would only attract the suspicion of restaurant attendants doing their best to entice visitors to try their food, and I didn't want that. So I had no luxury to let a group pass me by; I had to give it a go without hesitation. I carried out my duties without problems for the two couples that I passed. Concerning the second one, I left the guy of the couple confused after asking the question ("Are you from Charleston, West Virginia?"), causing a nearby restaurant patron to head towards us, as if I was asking for directions. As soon as I saw him coming, I asked the guy hurriedly: "Are you from there or not?" Still looking confused, he nevertheless replied "No" and instantly we went our separate routes. The experience was quite akin to a transaction: I got straight to the point, certainly without trying to lighten up the mood for the few seconds that it lasted.
Porte Saint-Denis
Like its neighbor only 200m south east on Boulevard Saint-Denis, Porte Saint-Denis was built in the 17th century in honor of the victories of Louis XIV and is situated on the old site of the wall of Charles V. Both triumphal arches even bear the same bronze inscription: LUDOVICO MAGNO (To Louis the Great). However, Porte Saint-Denis is taller (25 meters) and was designed by an architect different from the one who designed Porte Saint-Martin.
Below are the "bonus sites" ‒ other interesting things that I saw ‒ that did not make it to the Top 10.
|Eglise Saint-Laurent
|Building facade on Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis
|Antoine & Lili own this block
|Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin

*I Love to See the Temple..
~About once a week, my Mom takes the kids for a few hours and spends some quality time with them doing a number of things. They do anything from baking cookies, playing @ McDonalds playground, escapades to the dollar store, seeing the puppies at the mall etc.-You know all the things kids beg to do, but as a Mom you say:"we'll see." Well Grandma Kathy actually does them!
We call it "Grandma Day."
~A few weeks ago my mom took them into the Temple visitors center. They saw the Christus statue and played on the beautiful grounds of the temple. They loved it. She captured this little photo of them with Mesa Temple in the background. They know it is a special place and hopefully someday they will have that desire to "go inside someday."
~This next week we plan to go in the evening and see the gorgeous Christmas Lights on the grounds.

Motorcycle Rider Injured in Santa Maria
On Friday afternoon, a motorcyclist was injured in a crash in Santa Maria. According to Santa Barbara's Noozhawk, the incident happened on West Main Street near Oakley Avenue just after 3:30 p.m. For currently unknown reasons, the motorcycle and a pickup truck collided in the roadway. Very few details have been released about this motorcycle crash, but we do know that the rider was transported to Santa Maria Public Airport to be airlifted by a helicopter to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.
There has been no word on the cause of the crash, which is likely still under investigation with local law enforcement authorities. Additionally, no information has been released on the motorcycle rider's current condition or the extent of injuries involved.
