Tipper Andy gets it right when he wrote in his email: I am just going to leave this here. This is one custom Battlestar Galactica Viper inspired SAAB with precious few details from the seller. Is that a blower under the louvered hood scoop? How many mis-angled headlamps do you need in a car anyway? If the first one doesn't blind oncoming traffic, I'm sure the sixth will. Take that you Cylon bastards...ahhhHH, they are too shiny, I'm being blinded by the reflections of my own lights...wait...what were we talking about?
The inside of the Sonett looks nothing like a Viper attack fighter, but I would totally rock one of those pharaoh's head style helmets at all times while driving this thing. The 1.7 liter Ford Taunus sourced V4 engine would have been good for 65 horsepower from the factory.

The European Investment Fund (EIF) and the European Commission have launched VentureEU, a Pan-European venture capital funds-of-funds program to boost investment in innovative startup and scaleup companies across Europe.
Backed by EU funding to €410m (€200m from the Horizon 2020 InnovFin Equity, €105m from COSME (Europe's programme for small and medium-sized enterprises), and €105m from the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) – the so-called Juncker Plan), the funds are aiming to raise up to €2.1 billion of public and private investment.
This is expected to prompt an estimated €6.5 billion of new investment in startup and scaleup companies across Europe, doubling the amount of venture capital currently available in Europe.
Six participating funds will receive EU support in their mission to invest in the European venture capital market. These include Isomer Capital, Axon Partners Group (deals signed today), and Aberdeen Standard Investments, LGT, Lombard Odier Asset Management and Schroder Adveq (to be finalized in the course of 2018).
The six funds will take stakes in a number of smaller investee funds and cover projects in at least four European countries each. These investee funds will help finance small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps from a range of sectors such as information and communication technologies (ICT), digital, life sciences, medical technologies, and resource and energy efficiency.

Christian and Single
It's not easy being Christian and single. Although Jana Bennett is now married, she knows that plight firsthand and has written a book about it.
A funny thing happened to Jana Bennett on the way to writing a book about the plight of being Christian and single.
She fell in love and got married.
Bennett, assistant professor of religious studies at the University of Dayton, still stands by the premise of her first book, Water is Thicker Than Blood: An Augustine Theology of Marriage and Singlehood (Oxford University Press, 2008). Christians who are single are often treated as inferior citizens in their churches. Being single can — and should be — a vocation, she contends.
"In the Catholic church, there are two vocations. You either get married or you join a religious order. Single people are treated more like second-class citizens in the church," said Bennett, who talked about the book this month at the annual conference of the Society of Christian Ethics in Chicago. "All you have to do is look at the number of events for families and couples compared to those for single people in Sunday church bulletins."
The book's title suggests that, in contrast to popular belief, the bond of baptism remains stronger than family. The spiritual life should be more meaningful and go deeper than the love even for family, according to Bennett.
"A lot of my single friends would pine away, 'When will I find The One?' I thought, 'This can't be a way to live life, to always be wondering if the next person would be The One.' To pin all your hopes on meeting a mysterious person you don't know yet shouldn't trump a relationship with Jesus Christ, whom we've already met."
When Bennett was single, she joined a Christian community of six other single adults at Duke University, where she earned a Ph.D. in 2005. Housemate Joel Schickel, adjunct professor of philosophy at the University of Dayton, moved out and they began dating. Married for almost four years, they have a 14-month-old daughter, Lucia.
Bennett, who teaches classes in Christian marriage as well as ethics and faith and justice, contends there's plenty of room for both single and married people in the church. Early theologians glorified the monastic lifestyle, while contemporary thinkers espouse the value of strong marriages and families.
"I devote a section of the class to being single and choosing that lifestyle," she said. "Even if we choose to be married, we'll probably find ourselves single at one point. My recommendation is that both single and married people find ways to move past the dichotomy. I encourage people who are single to teach Sunday school, even if they're not parents. If you're baptized, you're considered a parent to others."
Bennett cannot offer a prescription for every Christian who's single, but she urges them to "do the radical things the Gospel calls us to do," such as working in a soup kitchen or visiting the elderly. "Be with the homeless. Be with the hungry. Be a family that practices hospitality."
Bennett described St. Augustine, a fifth century bishop and prolific writer, as "a seminal figure people turn to again and again for views on sex, marriage and family." Relying on his writings, she uses her book to show that marriage and singleness cannot be considered separately.
"I tell students that it's ok to be single. I question whether our love affair with marriage is the best thing," she said. "We get so obsessed with the high divorce rate without thinking that the problem could sometimes be marriage (to the wrong person).
"Some people," Bennett said, "are called to be single, to become disciples of Christ. A sense of family can come out of that."

It offers viscosity that doesn't overpower, making it ideal for pairing with hard pungent cheeses or vanilla ice cream." From Wine Enthusiast's Best of Year issue.

The island that withdrew from the continent
Where evolution happened, a Darwin chisel
Chiseling DNA strands, like they were wood carvings.
And that island is where you see wild boar
Making noises in the dark and wild geese playing the windpipes
And wild is about the bricks of origin and evolution.
Island dwellers are subjected to evolutionary events
Cactus finches become a little different from the rest.
Their beaks become curvier, bigger to feed on cacti.
It seems Finches knew how to become their own island.
Darwin was right. We don't change to be ourselves.
We change for the environment surrounding us. Adaptation is survival.
It is about belonging – When in Rome do as the Romans do.
And every island is Rome. And here you get
A bastion called providence chiseled by forces of nature.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither was evolution.
Evolution is all about a million islands in the sun.
Remus and Romulus suckling the breasts of a mother wolf
And planting the seed of life in an enclave near seven hills.
Like evolution suckles Gaia's breasts, and sculpts many little islands.
Every species is an isle. A castaway in biology only able to
Make love to its own kind. A little trap called speciation.
Darwinian love is more sanctimonious than lifelong monogamy.
Evolution it seems is holier than the pope.

In the run up to full implementation of 3-D Secure 2.0, a payment standard that aims to curb online fraud and prevent blocking legitimate transactions, merchants and issuers alike will need some convincing the technology will not impede e-commerce and mobile commerce.
That's the word from Tim M. Sherwin, chief executive of CardinalCommerce, a Mentor, Ohio-based e-commerce services firm. Sherwin, a cofounder of the company, followed founder Michael A. Kereseman in that role beginning Feb. 1, when Visa Inc. purchased the firm.
EMVCo, the chip card standards body owned by the world's six leading payment card networks, released 3-D Secure 2.0 in October. Visa originally shared the 3-D Secure 1.0 technology it developed, but handed off responsibility for future iterations to EMVCo in 2015.
The new version uses more data fields to capture information that is shared between the merchant and issuer behind the scenes to gauge the authenticity of transactions. The expectation is for a smoother transaction assessment that is not disruptive to the checkout process.
Many merchants are looking forward to the new data elements in 3-D Secure 2.0. Forty-six percent of them cited the additional data elements in messaging to enhance decisions as the most important new feature in the protocol, CardinalCommerce found in its annual survey, "Use of Consumer Authentication in eCommerce," released in March.
Persuading merchants to adopt 3-D Secure 2.0 will take some effort because many were put off by the earlier version, which took consumers away from the merchant's checkout page to the issuer's verification page.
The need for improved card-not-present transaction fraud detection is there, Sherwin says. Fraud is growing faster than e-commerce, and there is a disparity in the approval rate for card-present transactions relative to online transactions. This shows that false declines—when legitimate online transactions are tagged as fraudulent—are a larger problem for online merchants, he says.
"When you decline a good customer, the impact is probably worse than fraud in the long run," Sherwin tells Digital Transactions News.
Unlike 3-D Secure 1.0, the new version can provide merchants with more control over which transactions are designated for further review. For example, when an issuer's review of a transaction calls for further authentication from the consumer, the merchant can say it is more confident in the validity of the transaction, Sherwin says. The situation might be that the consumer is in a location the issuer has not recorded before, but the consumer may have performed transactions with the merchant from that location.
If there is a challenge to the transaction, the issuer could send the consumer a one-time code to enter on the checkout page. Once that is input, the merchant, in the background and without its customer having to leave the checkout page, will forward that code for the issuer to verify, Sherwin says.
"The big thing is getting past the legacy perception and understanding the differences," Sherwin says. "Everybody knows fraud is a problem. The false declines are a problem."
Issuers, too, will need incentives to adopt 3-D Secure 2.0. Vendors that provide the access-control server function, which is used to verify a card number's enrollment in 3-D Secure and perform the authentication, are updating their systems, Sherwin says. Those issuers that delay adoption may find the liability for fraudulent transactions shifted to them for merchants that are 3-D Secure 2.0 compliant, he says.
All in all, adoption by merchants and issuers is essential. "They need to work together and collaborate together," Sherwin says.

If your child has gotten used to going to bed late over the summer you can gradually move bedtime earlier in 30 minute increments over the course of several days till you reach your desired bedtime for the school year.
Additionally, you can start waking your child up at the time he/she will need to wake up for school. This can help with pulling bedtime earlier as well as creating a morning ritual that allows your child to have a little bit of "me time" before beginning the day.
If the word routine makes you cringe, it may be helpful to remember that children thrive with routines. In particular, a pre-bed routine helps children have an easier time transitioning to sleep. Bedtime routines do not have to be complicated. A routine of bath/shower, brushing teeth, books and cuddles done in the same order every night can help your child relax and sleep better.
Here are a few additional tips that can help with your little one's sleep this school year:
*Getting fresh air and exercise in the afternoon can help your child sleep better at night.
*Engage in quiet activities (books, puzzles, coloring) leading up to bedtime. Loud toys and roughhousing can be stimulating and are not conducive to sleep.
*Turn off electronics (TV, phones, computers, tablets, etc) at least 1 hour before bed. The light emitted by these devices can actually impede the production of melatonin thereby making it more difficult to fall asleep.
*Preparing lunches, outfits & backpacks the night before can help reduce anxiety before bed and create a more peaceful morning.
*Avoid caffeine, particularly in the afternoon, as it can interrupt sleep.
Wishing you all a wonderful school year!
Yours in sleep,
Tracie / Rest Well Baby

Kermit Ruffins and The Nth Power to Bring NOLA to Ardmore Music Hall
The Philly area will get a double dose of NOLA the first week of December when both The Nth Power and Kermit Ruffins & the BBQ Swingers will come to the Ardmore Music Hall.
The Nth Power is a super group that is NOLA to its core. At the helm are drummer/vocalist Nikki Glaspie (who formerly played with both Dumpstafunk and Beyoncé) and keyboardist/vocalist Nigel Hall (of Warren Haynes Band and Lettuce). Hall currently resides in New Orleans and has been heavily involved in the music scene there for some time now. Glaspie has also been a NOLA regular, having toured with some of the city's most beloved musicians, including Dumpstafunk and The Neville Brothers. The band first performed at NOLA's classic late night venue The Maple Leaf Bar during Jazz Fest 2012. Jennifer Hartswick called and asked the two if they could help her put together a band to play for a post-Fest show and so the Nth Power was born. The two are joined by guitarist Nick Cassarino (of Jennifer Hartswick Band and The Shift), bassist Nate Edgar (of John Brown's Body), and newest member Weedie Braimah (of Toubab Krewe). Their unique blend of jazz, soul, funk, gospel, and world music is a treat for the ears, with a message of pure love that could melt even the coldest of hearts. Listen to this band play and try to feel nothing. I dare you. And I'm willing to bet you'll fail, much to your own delight. Catch them on Wednesday, December 3. Doors open at 7:30pm and the show starts at 8:30pm with opening act Freekbass. Buy a ticket in advance for $10 here or at the door for $13.
Kermit Ruffins has been a staple in the New Orleans music community for decades. As a high school student in the early '80s, Ruffins was a co-founder of Rebirth Brass Band, a NOLA institution and dependable late night performer (you can catch a performance nearly every Tuesday at the Maple Leaf Bar). In the early '90s he left Rebirth and founded The BBQ Swingers, a traditional jazz quintet. Though he now splits his time between Houston, Texas (where his wife currently works) and his beloved New Orleans, you can often find Ruffins playing weekly in the city he calls home. However, on December 4 you won't have to travel all the way to the Crescent City to catch this first-class jazz trumpeter and his band – just head on out to Ardmore Music Hall. Doors open at 7:30pm and the show starts at 8:30pm with Cory Henry Group (featuring keyboardist Cory Henry of Snarky Puppy). You can purchase a ticket in advance for $20 here or at the door for $25. A VIP option including a traditional NOLA crawfish and gumbo dinner, a meet & greet session with Ruffins, and reserved seating is also available for $50.
So get out to Ardmore and warm up this December with a fiery explosion of NOLA jazz fusion. If you can't get to NOLA, this very well may be the next best thing.

Aside from a greasy burger, there's one thing I can't stand when you're paying upwards of $8 or $10 for a gourmet burger: overcooking. The chain restaurants are notoriously bad about this. I've learned to order my burgers medium rare when what I really want is medium. Even worse are the chain restaurants that ask you "pink or no pink?" as if you are not intelligent enough to know what well, medium, or rare mean. As my husband joked one day, what they're really asking is if you want it "cooked or overcooked?" Truth burn. And then they ignore your request anyway and send everything out the same funny shade of brown.
But with the sudden onset of gourmet burger joints around Pittsburgh and other parts of the country, promising specialty (e.g., local, or grass-fed, or even Kobe) beef or other interesting meat blends, you expect them to be able to cook a burger correctly. If a burger gets sent out from the kitchen with a little stake in it proclaiming the word "medium," you expect to bite into a medium-cooked burger. Right?
I guess that's asking too much sometimes.
When recently making the rounds at the three relatively new burger restaurants in Pittsburgh (Burgh'ers, Burgatory, and BRGR), I was disappointed that only one of the kitchens sent out my burger cooked perfectly. A second one was close, but not quite, and the third, well, remember that funny shade of brown?
Last week, during a brief visit to New York City, I had my first Shake Shack experience. For those unfamiliar, Shake Shack is kind of the In-and-Out Burger of the East Coast—a slightly higher-end, semi-fast food burger joint that foodies flock to in droves. Aside from the burger being utterly phenomenal (seared, juicy patty; toasty, buttery bun; and don't even get me started talking about the shakes)—and just $4.50—it was also a carefully cooked medium. Which Shake Shack does without even asking—in fact, if you want it cooked any other way, you have to specify.
And with that I ask, if a semi-fast food chain can provide all that, why can't a small, local restaurant whose sole focus is great burgers do the same?

Miracles are the wonderment of a smiling God…His greatest pleasure in this world is His almighty creation.
MAZRALAND DERISA is a story about a mouse and a dove and one of God's most touching little miracles.
Parents no longer need to believe that a story about the last days on earth of Jesus is too dramatic or too sorrowful to be shared with there younger children. Without detracting from what actually happened on Calvary nearly two thousand years ago, MAZRALAND DERISA movingly portrays those events while capturing an unknown miracle which occurred in a cave outside the walls of Jerusalem. A small miracle, perhaps, but one that has been thoughtfully wrapped within the most profound miracle of all time!
Easter is celebrated in a fantasy that will warm the hearts of children for generations to come.

Bill Cosby's next criminal court date in his sexual assault case is February 2 in a Montgomery County Court in Pennsylvania. The preliminary hearing originally scheduled on January 14 was postponed until February 2. It is now indefinitely postponed. In its place, Cosby lawyer Monique Pressley's Motion to Dismiss the Case as improperly charged and Motion to Recuse the Montgomery County Prosecutors will be heard. Pressley argues a previous agreement with the prior prosecutor stated Cosby would never be charged. The prosecution case may be in for an uphill battle
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania prosecutors charged Bill Cosby, longtime TV Dad, with aggravated indecent assault without consent, aggravated indecent assault while complainant is unconscious or unaware and aggravated indecent assault while person impairs complainant. The incidents allegedly occurred on January 15, 2004 at Mr. Cosby's Philadelphia suburban home against former Temple University employee, Andrea Constand.
From what I have seen and read about Monique Pressley, she is an intelligent, aggressive and tenacious attorney who will mount a zealous defense on behalf of her client. Having previously worked in the District of Columbia's Federal Pubic Defender's Office, she is skilled at handling criminal defense cases. And from all accounts that I have seen, she is doing a phenomenal job speaking on behalf of her client, asserting his right of innocence under the law—despite what the court of public opinion holds.
Often times, people will ask defense lawyers if they believe their client is innocent or guilty. Our beliefs of guilt or innocence as attorneys do not matter. The willingness of passionate defense attorneys to mount a zealous defense, as Ms. Pressley appears to be doing, is what matters.
No case is ever a slam dunk—despite what the public views as one. And sexual assault cases are among the hardest cases to prove and obtain a conviction. That is often because unfortunately the victim is the one who appears on trial too. The victim's statements, inconsistencies, character, prior acts are all scrutinized for her credibility in the present case.
A judge will ultimately make the decision on whether other victims may testify. Other victims may testify in a case where there is a common scheme or plan known as "modus operandi". Since over 50 other victims allege similar sexual acts and patterns occurred to them is one reason for some of the other victims to testify. But on the other side of the coin, a judge must decide if any of the other similar alleged acts are too prejudicial for a jury to hear. I am sure that Pressley will fiercely advocate why prosecutors cannot bootstrap Constand's case with the other victims and the jury must weigh Cosby's case solely on the instant charges.
Having a woman and particularly an African American woman is an added bonus in Cosby's defense. Pressley will be able to cross examine on the charges without turning off potential women jurors. And having an African American female attorney standing beside Cosby, in the fight of his life, will subtly send a message and possibly raise doubts to what might be any African American jurors. Pressley's fierceness in defending Cosby shines through. And through her efforts, the case against Bill Cosby may never reach a jury.
Lawyers are required to zealously represent their clients. Ms. Pressley is more than meeting that requirement. Regardless of what I may think about Mr. Cosby's guilt or innocence, he made the right choice in selecting Monique Pressley as his attorney.
Washington, DC based Debbie Hines is a trial lawyer, legal analyst and former prosecutor. When she is not representing and defending clients in court, she can be seen on air on Al Jazeera America, BET, CBS News, Fox 5 DC, MSNBC and other outlets.

Ishigaki and Shimojijima Airports are the exceptions to the profitability rule in Okinawa, the only two of 12 that are not mired in financial messes.
Locally funded airports in deep financial trouble
Date Posted: 2009-04-02
Aircraft landing fees have dropped significantly, leaving most of the local government operated airports in Okinawa struggling to avoid drowning in a sea of red ink. Already a problem in 2007, the worldwide recession has exacerbated the situation this year, plunging airports deeper in debt. The spiral is likely to get worse as airlines, also concerned about large decreases in the number of tourists and other travelers, seek to cut the number of flights into local airports.
Yonagunis airport is in the worst shape, ¥76.797 million in the red, with Kume Island Airport losing ¥80.912 million. Minami Daito Island is ¥39.781 million in debt, Miyakojima Airport ¥37.327 million in the red, and Tarama Airport minus ¥32.744 million. Kita Daito Airport has deficits of ¥27.709 million, Aguni Airport minus ¥23.280 million and Kerama Airport a negative ¥16.835 million. Hateruma Airport is a negative ¥19.628 million, while Ie Island is listing a deficit of ¥5.209 million.
Ishigaki Airport is showing a surplus of ¥47.671 million, and Shimojijima Airport, which is a training airport for pilots, a surplus of ¥16.651 million. There are 58 locally owned and operated airports in Japan.
Naha International Airport is not locally funded and operated, as the Prefecture provides organization and funding. In fact, only last week the Okinawa Prefecture Office, the governments General Bureau Office and the Osaka Aviation Bureau adopted plans to build a second runway at Naha International Airport. The new runway will be 2,700 meters long, extending 1,310 meters offshore. The project is to begin in 2010.

Between songs the cast hardly uttered a word to each other. Instead, a lot of incoherent mumbling was exchanged. As a mode of communication, this amused the crowd immensely, and more importantly it served to throw into sharp relief the crystal clarity of those same voices when singing. Where speech failed to convey meaning, music broke the barriers and transported the audience to a place no language could. They sang in Xhosa, Zulu, English and Afrikaans so at any point someone in the audience would not understand what was being sung. And the point was that it didn't matter. Music served as a universal language, and its vocabulary was melody and rhythm.
The sheer versatility of the South African musical talent currently available has been vocalised in the dynamic musical, Vocal is Lekka. Taking the audience on a musical journey, the supremely talented crew, including the award-winning Loukmaan Adams alongside Terry Fortune, Moenier Adams, Nur Abrahams, Waseef Piekaan and the multiple-award-winning Bongile Mantsa, weave together a staggering amount of musical genres seamlessly. And all with only a few percussive instruments and their exceptionally flexible voices.
Classics such as 'Fever', 'Reggae Nights', and 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' were delivered with suave a cappella harmonies and the rhythmic vocal impressions of a number of different instruments. Lead guitar, bass guitar and even saxophone were emulated with remarkable precision and poise. As if that wasn't impressive enough, the crew still managed to throw in nicely choreographed dance routines and slapstick comedy moments.
As entertaining as the show was, it suffered a little on its length. The massive range of genres was impressive, but at times overwhelming, covering rock, swing, jazz, kwaito, reggae, hip hop and contemporary pop to name a few. It would have been a tighter show altogether if the play list had been edited down a little, and the slower songs would have been my first choice to let go.
The majority of time though, myself and the audience were tapping our feet and singing along. I even found myself clapping along to a Justin Bieber song (but don't tell anyone). The dance moves, harmonies, rhythm and innovative musical arrangement captivated us all and made for a hugely enjoyable evening, from a cast of a musical I predict will gain a lot of interest and popularity.

Vocal is Lekka runs at the Golden Arrow Studio at the Baxter Theatre from 6 December 2011 to 7 January 2012.

Dripping sweat, headaches, overcome with guilt, shame, and emotion, unsure about what direction your life is taking. Detoxing from alcohol can be tough. What's even tougher is making the decision to get sober. When you decide enough is enough and you're ready to make that change, there are a lot of unknowns ahead. If you've become physically dependent on alcohol, you may experience a period of withdrawal, followed by detoxification. This is a necessary stage of your recovery to rid the body of harmful substances. There are safe and dangerous ways to do this. Here's what you can expect when you detox from alcohol:
Alcohol withdrawal and detox timeline
Alcohol withdrawal is a serious situation. At its extreme, it can be deadly. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms vary widely. They are most noticeable in people who drink heavily and for long periods of time. Their bodies become physically dependent on alcohol, and when they stop drinking or significantly reduce their intake, withdrawal can begin. If you have other health conditions, these can make alcohol withdrawal worse.
Common alcohol withdrawal symptoms you can expect within six to 12 hours of taking your last drink are minor hand tremors, sleep disturbances, upset stomach, nausea, loss of appetite, headache, sweating, stress, and anxiety. Within 12 to 28 hours you may experience hallucinations and seizures. Within 48 to 72 hours of your last drink hallucinations may continue, delirium tremens may start, and you could experience sweating, disorientation, increased heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. The length of these symptoms again depends on your alcohol use. In the months after detoxification, you may still experience mood swings, sleep disturbances, and low energy levels.
Withdrawal symptoms are the first step of alcohol detoxification, a process that removes all harmful substances from your body. This process can take from three days up to a week. During detox, you'll need to keep the symptoms of withdrawal under control. This is normally done by medical professionals, in an area where they can monitor you. Medications may need to be used to ease the symptoms of withdrawal. Another aspect of detox is maintaining hydration by taking in fluids and eating a proper diet. A doctor can provide you with a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid while you detox to provide your body with the proper nutrients.
After detox is the start of your lifelong journey in recovery. Detox isn't a quick fix; it's the starting point to a better life. How should you start your journey of recovery? At home or in a medical detox facility?
Risks with detoxing at home
When you decide to get sober, you'll be feeling a range of emotions, including the desire to isolate and deal with the burden yourself. This may lead you to make the decision to detox from alcohol at home. Going cold turkey after drinking heavily for a long period of time can be dangerous, and there are risks to doing it at home by yourself without medical help. Even if you have a support system at home, these people may not be medical professionals who can give you the proper medical care if needed.
Here are some of the risks associated with detoxing at home:
- The symptoms of withdrawal can become severe enough to be life-threatening.
- Underlying untreated medical issues could be present. Other conditions like bipolar disorder, high blood pressure, anxiety, asthma, or any variety of other medical issues can complicate your alcohol detox.
- Detox isn't as simple as quitting the substance and riding it out at home. Detox is not a quick fix solution.
- The root of addiction is left untreated. Detox doesn't treat the causes and trauma behind addiction.
- Medical and psychological support is not always readily available. At-home detox doesn't provide you with a safe environment where you can be monitored by medical professionals and therapists.
Benefits of medical detox
As you can see, detoxing at home is not recommended. Medical detox is a safe way to rid your body of harmful substances and begin your journey of recovery from addiction. In a medical setting, you'll be in the care of professionals who are training to treat you with medications, fluids, and any other medical treatment that is necessary. Medical professionals can also monitor your food intake and provide healthy meals that are rich in vitamins and minerals. They will also give you the proper testing to see if there are any other medical conditions at play with your physical state. Another benefit is that you removed from your current environment where you might be surrounded by triggers and alcohol cravings. Being removed from this environment can help you concentrate solely on your recovery.
Medical detox is generally part of a longer inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment program. Ridding your body of alcohol is only the first step. You'll then need to go on to address the trauma and causes of your addiction. This requires group therapy, peer support, a safe and structured environment, new coping skills, and one-on-one therapy. These are all the components of a good treatment program.
Addiction is an isolating disease. That's why it's natural to want to detox at home, by yourself. But you don't have to. You don't have to do this fight alone. There is help available and professionals and peers who want to see you get well.

The Benefits of Best Fluorocarbon Fishing Line
Whatever They Told You About Best Fluorocarbon Fishing Line Is Dead Wrong…And Here's Why
Steelhead are highly conscious of their surroundings. An anglers have turned into the most crucial link between them and the bass. If you're serious about fishing this could be the line which you want to go with. Bass fishing is about making adjustments, and one certainly has to be made here in order to make sure that you find every potential fish in the boat. Additionally, it doesn't absorb water. The truth is that red is among the very first colors to fade away.
Best Fluorocarbon Fishing Line – the Story
Fluorocarbon sinks in water and is a good idea to acquire weighted flies to the base of a lake quickly. In general fluorocarbon is a huge kind of line, and needs to be used over mono generally. For ultimate sensitivity, it is the proper choice. Today's fluorocarbons provide benefits and trade-offs, which makes it a perfect choice in some situations and thus worth the excess cost, but less than best in others. In terms of line twist, braid is going to have the least. The original and most frequent braids floated. It's extruded within a strand much like nylon monofilament.
Best Fluorocarbon Fishing Line Ideas
The fluorocarbon lines are very resistant to several weather conditions and may be used in any environment. This fluorocarbon line has undergone a particular silicone therapy, which raises the castability and decreases the memory. Our favourite fluorocarbon line needs to be the Seaguar Invizx.
There are a lot of different kinds of fishing line out there it can be a bit overwhelming at first. This fishing line is extremely durable due to the maximum abrasion resistance which allows increased protection against the several weather conditions. It is a little more expensive than another lines, but I promise that after you try it, you are never going to go to anything else. It is quite strong line particularly for the diameter.
Iff that's the fashion, the line snaps easily which can be rather a challenging moment, particularly if you're battling a massive bait for hours. So you're attempting to choose which line is right for you, but you aren't certain where to get started. Fluorocarbon line isn't recommended as main line for spinning reels owing to these characteristics. With this kind of ability, fluorocarbon lines aren't perfect for the little baits and the top water lures. Thanks to such advantages, they have become the choice of the professional sportsmen present in the fishing world. Many review claim this fluorocarbon line is one of the best. For people who wish to stay stealthy, P-Line Floroclear fluorocarbon lines are the very best possible option.
Introducing Best Fluorocarbon Fishing Line
In fact the density of the line is the thing that makes it increasingly sensitive. The density, or hardness, of fluorocarbon accounts for the additional sensitivity when utilizing those feel lures. Break strength is from 10lb to 80lb, phenomenal pick for the more compact prey and the bigger fish, based on the catch you want to capture. Generally, it is available in various test strengths to meet your preference. The best knot strength permits the inclusion of several fishing practices and opens additional alternatives for the fantastic fishing experience. Once stretched, it doesn't recover its original form. 3 No, it isn't low in stretch!

Eminem's lawsuit against the New Zealand National Party came to a close on Friday, after the court heard a mixture of sounds and arguments related to "Lose Yourself." The party used a track in a 2014 political ad titled "Eminem-esque," which they purchased from a stock music company. Eminem and his attorneys argued that "Eminem-esque" was a bit too Eminem-esque to be legal.
An attorney for the party said the sound-alike industry of stock mp3 files is well-established, with the express goal of avoiding copyright infringement.
"It doesn't make it legitimate because somebody hasn't yet sued," the judge said, according to Billboard. "It's a question of whether it is so alike that a sound-alike is crossing the line and becomes copyright infringement."
In one exhibit, the court listened to "La Bamba" and "Twist and Shout," presumably a textbook exhibit of cribbing a song's composition. Jeff Bass, the Detroit-area guitarist who played the famous opening riffs on "Lose Yourself," testified with his guitar — and insisted the stock track was a "blatant rip-off."
In one bizarre moment, Judge Helen Cull said, "[Turn it up.] I'm not shy of loud music." It may take several months for the case to be decided.

Think of the first person that made a real difference in the landscape of your athletic career. Hopefully, it was someone who was positive and understood the motivation and courage necessary to just come out and compete with the team.
One of the best parts about our roles as a strength + conditioning coaches is that it gives us the opportunity to teach young people that anything is possible with consistent hard work and effort. In the gym, as well as in life, hard work and effort is rewarded with results. From a basic training environment to the most advanced – it should not be pretentious, intimidating, and should never deter the average person. Phones off, music turned up, hard work being done.
We've created an environment that fosters learning, patience, being fundamentally sound, and above all, being accountable. When athletes know that their coach is accountable, and they are held accountable as well, trust is built and becomes the catalyst for a successful program. Our primary objective is to build a foundation for the athlete to become a strong minded person! The sports come and go, but mental strength and a positive attitude are primary for life long success.
Building a high level youth athlete starts with the mind they must believe. We program events that are easily measurable, and don't let them bite off more than they can chew - at least right off the bat. Along the way, we'll change the standard and expect more, encourage often, and have unwavering confidence in the athletes ability to achieve all tasks.
When you genuinely care more about the progress of your athletes as opposed to your own agenda, personal development and progress, that's when you've truly bridged the gap to becoming a real coach. We are a facility full of Coaches, more apt to discuss state champions, college athlete success stories, NFL athletes than their 2k row personal best or max squat. We are in the business of helping others achieve success. Their success is our success.
We take pride in coaching with intent, going the extra mile, spotting with conviction, all the time.
Lead from the front.
In Strength,
Dan Goodman

Having just got back today from a wonderful press trip as the guest of Borgobianco Resort and Spa this week's travel snap is a sneak peek of some forthcoming posts.
I'd like to share with you all that I've discovered about Puglia, a lesser known region of Italy, including exploring the enchanting town of Polignano a Mare perched on the clifftops overlooking Italy's Adriatic coast and of course the beautiful 5 star hotel where I stayed.
I've met some wonderful and fascinating people including two fabulous chefs, a 'light' artist and a fascinating philosopher/poet. I've eaten lots of delicious food from delicate fish dishes to tasty foccacia bread and cheese plus exceedingly good vegetable dishes and succulent meats. I've been introduced to some new wines and great locally produced beers. Plus I've seen amazing sights including the beautiful trulli of Alberobello and the stunning cave system of Castellana Grotte but first I'll simply tease you with a glimpse of Polignano from the bridge of the Via Traiana, an ancient Roman road that runs along the coast here.

Granger looked mildly offended at the idea that he might have something in common with a cake eater. He snorted then looked at the door. "Where is this fool. It's not like I don't have better things to do and have an unlimited amount of time to wait for him to grace us with his winning personality." Granger muttered.
– CSGTMJR Granger, Marine
Ryley shrugged, "how the hell should I know? I've never met the guy." He puffed air between his cheeks and looked around him again. "Is he as fun as you are?"
Just then, the doors swished open, a man walked inside, pausing just inside the doorway. His eyebrows raised, and his dark black eyes almost seemed perplexed.
Ryley watched with interest as the confused man took in the situation before him.
"Oh dear, was I expecting a couples counseling session today?" The man asked, looking quickly from Ryley to Granger. Then he shook his head, dismissing the idea. "No, no, that's not it." He squinted his eyes, shifting glances between both men once more. "Interesting…" He mused, letting his voice trail off, his expression turning neutral once more.
"My apologies for being tardy," He said, walking over towards them. "I'm Counselor Simon Arbogist," He held out his hand, offering it first to Granger, then to Ryley and then back over towards Granger again.
-Counselor Simon Arbogist
Ryley used his cane to stand and offered his hand in return. "Alex Ryley. Chief medical Officer
" he replied by way of introduction. "Or at least i should be if you declare me not mental. Otherwise i guess i'll go play piano in the lounge or something." He smirked.
OOC: Pasting in Granger to fix the thread split.
Granger merely sat in silence, his face had an expression that looked like he was chewing rocks as he struggled to keep his hand from moving to the knife hand position as he chewed out this useless officer who couldn't even competently use a clock. Star-fleet did not mint stupid marines and sometimes, especially when confronted with the height of inconsideration or incompetence. The only way forward was to say nothing at all. But Granger didn't like having to not give this namby pamby officer a peice of his mind. No sir he did not.
– CSGTMJR Granger, Marine
Simon stared at Granger for a moment, before turning back towards Ryley and shaking the man's hand. "Pleasure." He said, turning his attention back towards the Marine.
"There was a conflict in my scheduling today and I regret I was unable to contact you to reschedule," Simon said. "However this does not indicate that I am incompetent in my job abilities." He frowned, looking back towards Ryley.
"I believe that our discussion will have to wait, Doctor," He said. "Perhaps when I am finished with Mister Granger here I can meet you somewhere. In the Lounge?"

Cotabato City (March 15, 2018) – Women leaders from the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao's (ARMM) line agencies and local government units, as well as from civil society organizations, participated in the 2nd ARMM Bangsamoro Women's Economic and Development Summit held here on Wednesday, March 14.
Bearing the theme 'Meaningful Change for Economic and Political Participation for Bangsamoro Women', the summit seeks to strengthen the capacity of women leaders assuming various roles in economic development leading to a more progressive autonomous Muslim region.
The summit was spearheaded by the ARMM's Regional Commission on Bangsamoro Women in coordination with the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) and the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
In his keynote message, OPAPP Secretary Jesus Dureza stressed the important roles women play in peacebuilding in communities. "Women are the best instruments in helping society, especially in dealing with peace and security in the area," he said. "They play an important, efficient, and productive role (in promoting) peace, not only in the family but also in the community," he added.
Comelec Commissioner Ma. Rowena Amelia Guanzon, one of the resource speakers, emphasized the importance of women's involvement in the political arena. "When women don't participate in the government, they will never have a fair share of resources on finance, education, health, and livelihood," she said.
She also said people should get rid of the stereotypes that Bangsamoro women can't lead. "We should educate our people, especially our youth, that girls can lead as well as boys."
"Mahalaga na patuloy nating itaguyod ang karapatan ng mga kababaihan," said ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman in his message delivered by Executive Secretary Atty. Laisa Alamia. "At patuloy tayo na maging bukas sa pagwawasto at pagbabago upang maging mas makatwiran at makatarungan ang ating pamumuhay, habang patuloy tayong nagsisikap para sa maunlad na kinabukasan," he added.
At the activity's venue, some of the region's line agencies showed their support by setting up booths showcasing their services for the participants. The summit is in line with the National Women's Month celebration and also falls within the regional celebration of Bangsamoro Week of Peace 2018.

Court of Appeal has reinstated Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter after the High Court nullified his election.
Keter won the appeal case after the Appeal Court judges ruled that Keter was validly elected.
The High Court had nullified the election of Keter on grounds that he campaigned outside the stipulated time of the election.
Judge Erastus Githinji who made the ruling on behalf of the other judges said there was no evidence on the allegations made against Keter that warranted the nullification.

What does being a strong woman mean to you?
To me, a strong woman is someone that is living out their calling in life, whatever it may be, with fierce passion, focused intensity and confidence in whom they were created to be. It is always so inspiring to me to meet other women who are doing cool things and making a difference in this world. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Britt Nicole, a talented singer/songwriter who is making big waves. She has a new song coming out that talks about being the change in the world. That together, you and I can be the change. This message resonates so strongly with me because that is a burning passion in my heart. I want my life to count for something. I want to leave a legacy on this earth of change. A legacy of fighting hard for what is right, not falling for things that are wrong and standing for what I believe in.
My prayer is that this Strong Woman Collection will be the change in the hearts of many women across the nation. As women, we wear a lot of hats and carry a lot of burdens. For me, being a strong woman is hard because of the battle scars on my heart, the expectations the world puts on me and the ones I put on myself. We all have different crosses to bear and mine is infertility. It's left battle wounds that I love to patch up real nicely, but deep down they are still there. Can you relate? It's so easy to give into the social media crazy society we live in today that demands perfection. The perfect, unattainable, picture perfect life. But that's not what being a strong woman means to me. Being strong is letting your guard down and allowing others to come alongside you in your struggles. It means embracing the crosses that God has given us and using them to make a difference. To be the change in this world. I am strong because of my scars. You see, we are made to overcome. God didn't promise He wouldn't give us more than we can handle, but he does promise that no matter what we face, He will be there to carry us through.
As we celebrate the launch of a collection we are all so passionate about, I can't help but reflect on what makes me strong. Will you join me? I want to hear your stories of love, loss, trials, fears, etc. What makes you strong? Share it, tag it, comment it, email it (@scarletandgoldshop, #SheWasBeautiful, email@example.com).
Together, let's be the change and that starts by encouraging each other. I am counting on you to help us share this message that celebrates strong, beautiful women.
Lots of love,
Megan Smalley

Fabio Mancone on "Rethink Everything" in Le Temps
Excerpt from the article "Swiss banks focus on emotion", published in "Le Temps" on 15 April 2019
The end of banking secrecy not only pushed Swiss banks to review how they manage assets, it also forced them to improve their visibility, to help fend off competition from institutions based in clients' home countries. Communication and image now play a greater role than ever before. How does a bank build its brand? How can banks adapt their brand?
Looking back through history
What do banks really think about when they want to reposition their image or change their communications? "It's about understanding who we are and transposing this identity into the world around us", says Fabio Mancone, Chief Branding Officer at Lombard Odier. "Banking has changed a lot and today, it sits at the heart of many economic, political and social issues. The business largely consists of advising clients in a constantly changing world."
Recruited in 2015 after a career in consumer goods and luxury, he drew out Lombard Odier's new identity, in part, from the archives of the banking group, which celebrated its 222nd anniversary in 2018. This journey back through time revealed seven historical moments where the bank successfully adapted its global outlook – for example, in the aftermath of wars or revolutions. "These different stages in the bank's history demonstrate its ability to reinvent itself and to change its approach and perspective – this is what we wanted to communicate in a powerful way", explains Fabio Mancone.
This vision was brought to life by one of the four communication agencies that were asked to propose a strategy. Mancone explains that four international agencies were selected to gain an outsider's perspective into the world of Swiss banking. From this, the "Rethink Everything" campaign was born in 2016. Visually, it comprises three levels: a striking image (for example a calf staring down the camera lens or four children with a penetrating gaze); a word that seems unrelated to the image ("threat" or "shareholders", respectively); and finally a short explanatory text ("intensive agriculture is draining the planet" or "we must be held accountable to our children").
Not for everyone
In an industry as fragmented as wealth management (UBS, the world's leading firm, has around USD 3,000 billion in assets under management, which equates to a market share of less than 5%), positioning becomes crucial and involves making a choice. Even if it means not appealing to everyone, acknowledges the former Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren and L'Oréal manager: "Lombard Odier is not a generalist bank; we do not want target all market segments. We decided to encourage reflection – to offer innovative perspectives and share our convictions. People who are challenged by or share this vision of the world recognise themselves in our messages."

|"In Hebron, Death and Life" - August 12, 2002 (Reprinted)
After almost two years of the second intifada, after the murders of 600 Israelis and the crippling and wounding of thousands more, existence in Israel has become painfully surreal. Without our willing it or wanting it, at every moment, the unexpected comes.
And so it was with the funeral of Elazar Leibovich, who was shot and killed last Friday by terrorists as he was driving his friends, a newly married couple, around the Hebron hills.
Before he died, Elazar, a friend of my sons, tried to shoot at the terrorist who was firing from the roadside. Nerry Ben Yitzhak, married for two days, with his young bride sitting in the back seat, pushed Elazar aside and took over the wheel. As Nerry sped for help, a car with two parents and their children came down the road from the opposite direction on their way to a peaceful Sabbath at the settlement of Maon. Nerry signaled at the father to stop. But not understanding Nerry's motions, the father drove into the ambush; the parents and one son were killed, with nine living children orphaned. Read More

|"Maze of Terror: A Settler's Diary" - April 18,1994
Fear and faith in a West Bank settlement. Roughly 115,000 Jews live in 124 settlements in the West Bank, occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of June 1967. For some, it is a dream come true, this life in the ancient land of Judea and Samaria. For others, it is a place where housing is relatively inexpensive or where jobs are available. For still others, the West Bank is a life of contradiction--of community and isolation, of joy and heartache, of security and fear.
It is all these things and more for June Leavitt, who grew up on Long Island, N.Y., attended the University of Wisconsin and moved to Israel 15 years ago. A writer, she has published one novel, finished a second and is completing a third. She and her husband and their five children live in Kiryat Arba, the West Bank settlement adjacent to Hebron, where Baruch Goldstein murdered 29 Palestinians at prayer on February 25. Her diary begins nearly 18 months ago. The following excerpts reveal one view of life in a land of promise and peril. OCT. 24, 1992. My mind ran over my life here in Kiryat Arba. Living in the "occupied territories," my two boys travel every day to Jerusalem, passing through hostile Arab villages on the way. My husband, Frank, travels in the opposite direction to Beersheba, where he teaches philosophy and coordinates a program in ethics for medical students, also passing through Arab cities. Daughter Estie travels twice a week to Jerusalem for ballet lessons. Joshua once a week for a program for gifted children. Read More

Sleep is just as important to us at getting daily exercise. It's recommended that as adults we need at least 6 hours of sleep a night to recharge our batteries and so getting a good night's sleep is vital. I know my physical and mental health benefits from a good night's sleep and I need to be able to fully unwind in the evenings, especially once the evenings draw in slightly earlier.
A 2006 survey by the Sleep Council called 'Grumpy Old Women' found that one in 10 people attribute poor sleep to a bad bed. Since receiving a new Leesa mattress around a month ago, I have experienced a far better night's sleep and I wanted to help you by giving you my tips for a better night's sleep. `
Get Yourself A Great Mattress.
Although getting a mattress isn't cheap, it's worth every penny for a good night's sleep. I've been sampling the Leesa Mattress* for a month now and it's genuinely changed my sleeping habits. Even if I've been away from my bed for a night, I can't wait to get back into bed thanks to my new mattress.
The mattress has a top layer of Avena foam making all the difference to other mattresses. It's a responsive material that allows airflow through the mattress for a cooler nights sleep, and provides enough bounce for freedom of movement. The Leesa mattress has a unique combination of three foam layers that adapts to the body of each individual, providing optimal support and comfort for you. I also love that Leesa is a local brand, they're made in Derbyshire! It's a really easy mattress to set up, it takes a couple of hours for the mattress to fully expand so you can sleep on it the day it arrives.
Since using the Leesa mattress my aches and pains are very limited. The mattress really feels like a cloud and really does make for a comfortable night's sleep.
Turn Your Phone Off.
I think one of the best ways of feeling more relaxed before bed is to turn off your phone. Using phones, laptops, TVs or tablets before bed delays your body's internal clock and suppresses the release of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, making it more difficult to go to sleep. I like to turn off my phone over an hour before bedtime and opt for a quick episode on Netflix with the brightness dimmed very low or a few chapters of my latest book.
Have a Shower/Bath.
Before I go to bed there's nothing quite like a bubble bath or a hot shower before getting into bed. It allows me to relax my muscles after a long day at work.
Warm Up Your PJ's.
It's not exactly revolutionary but putting my PJ's on the radiator in the evening means that by the time I jump into them they're toasty and it's heaven!
Don't Drink Caffeine.
It's hard not to drink tons of hot drinks this time of year but caffeine isn't great before bed. A study found that consuming caffeine up to six hours before bed significantly worsened sleep quality. If you are like me and need a hot drink then Chamomile and Lavender are some of your best options.
I wonder what your tips are for a great night's sleep?
This post is in collaboration with Leesa who kindly gifted me a mattress in return for an honest review. Once you have purchased your mattress and if for any reason it doesn't help your sleep within 100 nights, Leesa will donate your mattress to a charitable organisation and provide a full refund. You can find out more about the Leesa mattress and order your own here.

The first event of the seminar series "The path of integration in contemporary societies" organised by SIRIUS in collaboration with Respond was held on last Friday at the University of Florence. Professor Marco Benvenuti discussed the right to asylum and international protection in the Italian jurisdiction, pointing at the legal framework of asylum, subsidiary and humanitarian protection, at the connected rights and duties and at the most recent developments.
The Workshop and Seminar Series aims to discuss, in an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, integration policies and legal frameworks in a number of European experiences. The Seminar series will provide students with some basic notions on immigration law and policies in Italy, whereas the workshop (with students' active involvement) will be devoted to the analysis of the most important "integration tools", as for example language and civic courses, education, vocational training.

Cherbourg France Normandy Cherbourg
Cherbourg France French Holidays
Cherbourg is in the Manche département, on the Contentin Peninsula that juts out into the Channel. To the west of the peninsula are the Channel Islands. Guernsey is 45km away, and Jersey 25km. They are accessible by ferry from St Malo in Brittany, or from the towns of Carteret, Granville and Portbail in Normandy during peak season.
Cherbourg, contrary to the romantic picture painted of it in Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, a 1964 Jacques Demy film, is of little interest to the tourist except as the entry point to France when taking the ferry from England (Poole or Portsmouth) or Ireland. Napoléon rather grandly claimed that he would "recreate the wonders of Egypt " in Cherbourg, but there is more evidence of large docks and naval bases in the town than pyramids (the nearest one to date is outside the Louvre).
The tourist office is situated at 2 quai Alexandre III (02 33 93 52 02) by the Bassin du Commerce. The gare SNCF and gare routière are south of the Bassin du Commerce, on either side of the Avenue Francis Millet, with regular connections to Bayeux, Paris and Caen. Local buses run to the hilltop town of Coutances (much more interesting than Cherbourg itself) and the attractive village of Barfleur, among other destinations.
If you do decide to make Cherbourg your base you will find that hotels are very reasonably priced, although finding one with parking or a restaurant can be tricky. One exception is the logis de France the Régence at 42 quai de Caligny (02 33 43 05 16) which has a restaurant with menus from €16 to €29 and neat rooms with a harbour view at €40 55 per night. More appealing is the Renaissance, 4 rue de l'Église (02 33 43 23 90) with a view of the port in a nicer part of town for the same price.
Like so many coastal towns, Cherbourg boasts a large aquarium (La Cité de la Mer, €13) and maritime museum but this one allows you to visit a real nuclear submarine. Other ways to pass the time in Cherbourg include a ramble along the Plage Vert (grassed over beach) or up to the Roule Fort where there is a view of the whole town. Otherwise shopping and watching the world go by from a café are failsafe formulas for an afternoon.
In the old town there are adventurous little restaurants including the Tunisian La Medina at 54 rue Tour Carrée (02 33 93 25 01) with dishes from €14, or along the quai de Caligny there are more expensive seafood restaurants such as the Café de Paris at number 40 (02 33 43 12 36) with assiettes de fruits de mer from €13 to €86 (for two people).

A father was incensed when he and his two sons discovered blood on a biscuit and a food wrapper at a McDonald's restaurant in Connecticut. The Health Department concluded, however, it was not necessary to close the restaurant.
The family discovered the blood stains when they collected their order at the fast food joint on Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield on Monday, Jan. 22.
The father raised the matter with the restaurant's manager and noticed one of the employees had a cut on her hand. The restaurant tossed the food and replaced it.
Shortly afterward, the father reported the incident to police and the Health Department. The department's inspector said the father described the blood stains as "a speck and a drop," Fairfield Citizen reported.
A Health Department inspector went to the restaurant and met with the manager and the employee in question. The employee said she scraped her knuckle on a piece of equipment and didn't realize it was bleeding while wrapping the order. When she realized it, she bandaged the cut and put on a fresh pair of gloves.
Health Director Sands Cleary said Tuesday the incident was isolated and, once discovered, was handled properly.
"It was an accident. We train people on how to prevent this, but it happens," he said.
The restaurant's last inspection was Aug. 25, 2017, when they received a score of 95 out of a possible 100 points, Cleary said. Their next inspection is due next month.
"If we had gotten 10 different calls about blood on food, it would've been a different response," Cleary said.
The mother of the two sons discussed the incident on the Moms of Fairfield Facebook page, saying the employee was waving her hand around and tried to hide the cut. The mother also said the manager lied to her husband. She said she'll have her children blood-tested now and again in six months.
