Jade is one of the oldest and most beloved gemstones on Earth. However, what we know and love about jade today is far different from how our prehistoric ancestors valued this ancient gemstone. Once the choice material for Stone Age huts, caves, weapons, working tools and cultural and ritual decoration, is now a beautiful ornament popularly used in jewelry and trinkets.
Beyond its material use, jade is one of the most symbolic and important gemstones prominent across multiple cultures and countries. In China, jade represents clarity and purity, and jade gem-carvings elevated the ancient stone to worldwide recognition as a sacred art form. In ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations, jade was a healing crystal and symbol of pride.
From paleolithic caves to intricate carvings and ornate jewelry, jade has been used for thousands of years. However, not all jade is the same, and it's not all green, either. In fact, "jade" isn't even a concrete term, as there are two forms of jade: nephrite and jadeite. In this article, we're looking at the differences between nephrite jade and jadeite jade.
What is Jade?
Jade is an ancient gemstone dating back 7,000 years. For thousands of years people believed nephrite and jadeite were the same gemstone. However, in 1863, a distinction was made by French mineralogist, Alexis Damour, who discovered that the gemstone, jade, actually had two different mineral compositions. Despite this revolutionary discovery, to this day most people call both jadeite and nephrite "jade," because they are unaware of the difference.
Another interesting fact about jade is that, while they are cherished for their bright green color, jade comes in a variety of other colors including lavender, blue, red, orange, yellow and gray. While jade is as sacred in China as diamonds are in the United States, jade deposits are located throughout the world and sourced from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Taiwan and Zimbabwe. Jade has even been found in Wyoming and Alaska in the United States.
So, how can you differentiate between the two? By knowing the differences between nephrite and jadeite. Keep reading as we explore the different types of jade in greater depth.
Nephrite Jade
For centuries, nephrite was believed to be the only form of jade. "Nephrite" is Greek for "kidney," because jade is believed to be a healing stone that cures illness, particularly in the side of the body, which is why "Jade," comes from the spanish phrase, "stone for pain in the side."
Nephrite jade is more commonly used than jadeite, and has a softer mineral structure that is quite durable. This is because of the fibrous crystals that form the structure of nephrite, which is a composition of calcium magnesium amphibole.
Jade is a sacred gemstone in Chinese culture, however due to the large amount of nephrite deposits in China, nearly all Chinese jade is nephrite. Variances in the crystal structure composition between nephrite and jadeite influence the strength of the stone. So, which one is more durable? Nephrite jade is the material stone workers used to build their huts in the Stone Age, and is also the material artisans use to craft intricate Chinese figures and jewelry filled with mystical allure.
So, if nephrite jade is the most popular and tougher of the two, what purpose does jadeite have?
Jadeite Jade
Jadeite differs from nephrite in several ways, most notably the composition of the gemstone's crystal structure. While nephrites are soft and fibrous, jadeite's structure is made of grain-like crystals making it a more dense and hard material than nephrite. So, what edge does jadeite have on nephrite?
Only the most valued form of jade that exists: Imperial jade.
For years, translucent white nephrite was the highest quality jade. However, imperial jade contains trace elements of chromium, and has a captivating hue of green that's more rich and brilliant than an emerald gemstone, and also more valuable.
Despite nephrite jade being the most common, Imperial Jade is actually jadeite jade, and is not as common or popular as nephrite jade because it is more expensive and valuable.
Imperial jade became the most high quality material in China when carvers and craftsmen discovered a variation of jade from Burma that was rich in color, evenly colored throughout and more bright and traditional than other jade. This jade became "Imperial Jade," but was exclusive to the Emperor, as no one else could afford this prestigious material. Today, Imperial Jade is still the highest-quality jade available and can cost more per-carat than a diamond.
While jadeite is a natural gemstone, there are several time-honored processes that craftsmen have used for years to improve and enhance its natural look. Jadeite gemstones are often treated with various materials including heat, dyes, wax, bleach and acid. Reputable jewelers will explicitly state exactly what type of treatment a gemstone has undergone, either Type A, Type B or Type C.
Key Differences Between Nephrite Jade and Jadeite Jade
Now that we've explored the rich history, important symbolism and attributes of the different types of jade, here's a recap of the key differences between nephrite and jadeite jade:
- Uses: Nephrite is the most popular and commonly used jade, but Imperial Jade (jadeite) is the most valuable.
- Appearance: Nephrite has lower luster and transparency than jadeite jade
- Composition: Nephrite is soft and durable, while jadeite is more dense and hard
- Craftsmanship: It's no secret that jade has been a material for crafts, wares, and construction for thousands of years. However, Burmese jadeite jade is more optimal material for artisans, as it is more dense and easier to work with. Plus, the finished product after polishing has a higher luster than traditional nephrite jade.
- Density: Nephrite has a density range of 2.9-3.03, whereas jadeite's density ranges from 3.30-3.38
As you can see, jade is one of the oldest gemstones on Earth and has a fascinating history, profound symbolism and many functions. And while we've explored the differences between Nephrite and Jadeite, they share a commonality in their ability to captivate the masses, tell an incredible story, and shine throughout time.

Austerity measures cut social care provision
Simon Carter
Millionaire health minister Jeremy Hunt has reneged on the Tories' election promise to cap social care costs for over 65s. The government was committed to limit care bills to £72,000 (still an enormous sum) next year, but this has now been shelved until 2020.
Hunt didn't even have the guts to announce it in the Commons, instead issuing a statement to the House of Lords on a day when MPs weren't in session. The government will 'save' £3 billion by postponing this recommendation of the earlier Dilnot commission report.
The deferral will cost huge sums of public cash (up to £100 million) having paid Saatchi and Saatchi to publicise the new cap, as well as spending money on new IT systems, staff training, etc.
According to media reports, plans for a new appeals system to challenge care-needs assessments and a new right for people, whatever their means, to ask their local council to arrange and pay for a care home place at lower rates, have also been shelved.
A limit on fees charged to elderly people for residential care is a major issue for millions of families. Currently, anyone with assets over £23,250 has to pay the full cost of their care. Over three million people over 65 years have care needs but only 850,000 qualify for state assistance.
It's estimated that 10% of people receiving such care will pay in excess of £100,000. Many are forced to sell their homes to pay these bills.
Councils are now expected to pay care fees up front as a 'loan', repayable from a person's estate after their death. But they only have to offer these loans if a person's non-property assets are less than £23,250.
Most home care has been outsourced from councils to private profit making companies. Under the Tories' shelved plan, those in residential care will still be responsible for food and lodging even when the £72,000 cap has been reached.
As the previous issue of the Socialist reported, the social care system is in meltdown due to a toxic mix of huge government funding cuts and privatisation. Since 2009, some 500,000 people have lost access to state help with washing, dressing and meals. And many elderly people remain stuck in hospital due to a lack of community care.
We need to end privatisation and ensure a fully-funded, publicly owned and run social care system. A socialist economy would guarantee such a system, free at the point of use.
Private, for-profit, companies represented by the UK Home Care Association have told Chancellor George Osborne that they can't afford to pay their carers next April's "national living wage" of £7.20 an hour, unless they get an extra £753 million of funding.
Around 90% of home care is now provided by private companies paid by cash strapped local authorities and the NHS. These companies are notorious for paying low wages. Many home care workers have complained about not being paid travel time between visits, meaning they are effectively paid below the current paltry minimum wage of £6.50 an hour.
The government's austerity cuts must be reversed, local authorities and the NHS should be properly funded, and carers should be paid a £10 an hour minimum wage as a step to a living wage.
That requires a mass movement to stop the cuts and a workers' government to renationalise the privatised public services and set a proper living wage.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.

Most Christians today view the practices from the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) as not being valid or binding on believers today. I would disagree. I look at our position in Messiah a little differently from several scriptural points:
First, the "mixed multitude" that came out of Egypt with the Hebrew slaves during the Exodus (Ex. 12:38) were bound up in the covenant with God at Sinai (Deut. 29:14-15, which I believe also looks forward to us believers in the future).
Moses said there would be "one law" for both stranger and countryman (Ex. 12:49; Lev. 24:22; Num. 15:15-16; Deut. 31:12).
Paul continues this thought in Romans by stating that those who keep the righteousness of the law inwardly, even gentiles, are really considered "true" Jews (Rom. 2:26-29).
Additionally, as believers in the Jewish Messiah, gentiles are "grafted in" to the roots of the Hebraic instruction, partaking of the "root and fatness of the olive tree", i.e, Israel (Rom. 11:17). I believe this is why the apostles at the Jerusalem council mentioned that gentile believers would not need to convert to Judaism through circumcision, but that they did need to abstain from idolatry, sexual immorality, and two food laws of eating things that are strangled or that still have blood in them. These basic Torah requirements would be necessary for Jews to have fellowship with gentiles as the gentiles came to faith in the Jewish Messiah and joined with the local Jewish synagogues to learn more about him.
How do we know that they joined with the synagogues? The very next verse in Acts 15 states:
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
I believe that this indicates the gentiles were being instructed to immediately forsake the four "fellowship-separating" practices, and then continue on in learning Torah and about their Messiah. The gentiles could not engage in full fellowship unless they were clean from idolatry, pagan sexuality and "non-kosher" foods. (I deal with dietary issues in another article).
Why would this be necessary, to continue to learn and practice the Hebrew scriptures? Paul says in 1 Cor. 10:6, 11 that "these things" (meaning stories from the Torah) were examples or admonitions for us, to not fall into the same unrighteous behaviors as those whose lives have been recorded for us. He also establishes in Romans that our faith doesn't suddenly negate the law (3:31) and that "…the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good," (7:21).
Most importantly, Yeshua upholds this principle in Mat. 5:18, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." I reckon we gentiles should not be so hasty to throw out 3/4 of our bible.
While not conclusive in and of themselves, I believe these scriptural points, at a minimum, indicate our privilege as gentiles to participate in appropriate and purposeful Israelitish practices without violating any principles of God.
To drive the point home, I would suggest that the very covenant we claim as our own "Christian" heritage, the "New Covenant", was not made with gentiles, but with Jews, and is promised not to the gentiles specifically, but to Israel:
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Yet this is the very covenant we claim Yeshua established at the last meal of our Messiah. So, if this is "our" covenant, we must somehow be linked to the nation of Israel. I would suggest Paul's illustration of "grafted in" branches makes the point very clear.
What Paul explains as the "mystery of the gospel" was that gentiles would become heirs with Israel (Rom 11:25). To me, this means we gentiles have a lot to learn from those Hebrew foundations; but we must be careful to sift the truth from traditions, and not accept everything blindly just because it seems like a "Jewish" thing to do.

Policy in the Pub: Money in Retirement - will we have enough?
From: Wednesday April 10, 2019, 5:30 pm
To: Wednesday April 10, 2019, 6:30 pm
Money in Retirement: will we have enough?
The conventional wisdom is that Australians don't save enough for retirement, and many older Australians live in poverty. But is that really the case?
Retirees are less likely than working-age Australians to suffer financial stress such as not being able to pay a bill on time, and more likely to be able to afford optional extras such as annual holidays.
Grattan Institute modelling shows that, even after allowing for inflation, most workers today can expect a retirement income of at least 91 per cent of their pre-retirement income – well above the 70 per cent benchmark endorsed by the OECD, and more than enough to maintain pre-retirement living standards.
And many low-income Australians will get a pay rise when they retire, through a combination of the Age Pension and their compulsory superannuation savings.
But the retirement incomes system is not working for some low-income Australians, especially those who rent.
Join us for Policy in the Pub to hear from Fellow Brendan Coates on Grattan Institute's latest report on retirement incomes.
About our speake
Brendan Coates is the Australian Perspectives Fellow at the Grattan Institute. His research focuses on tax reform, economic and budget policy, retirement incomes and superannuation, housing, transport infrastructure and cities. Before Grattan, Brendan worked as a macro-financial economist with the World Bank in Indonesia and Latin America, and prior to that, he undertook a number of roles with the Australian Treasury in areas such as tax-transfer system reform, financial and commodities markets analysis and macro-economic forecasting, including as part of the Treasury's China Policy Unit. Brendan holds a Masters of International Development Economics from the Australian National University and Bachelors of Commerce and Arts from the University of Melbourne.

Last month I ended my three-month hiatus of posting savings rates articles and afterwards, I vowed to publish my monthly summary in a timely fashion. One of my goals for 2015 is to defeat the Dividend Diplomats' Savings Challenge and save 60% of my monthly income 6 times in 2015. Will I be able to recover from my just miss in July, where I saved 56.9% of my income? Let's find out!
Income Summary

.4% – Other
Expense Summary
5.1% – Rent
9.3% – Automobile (Car Payment, Insurance, and Gas)
5.3% – Transportation
1.4% – Utilities (Cable, Gas, and Electric)
3.6% – Groceries
5.2% – Entertainment
5.3% – Travel
4.8% – Other
40.2 % – Total Expenses
59.8% – Savings Rate
Discussion of Results
Oh no! I just missed my mark here….UGH!!! Man, this one hurts. I thought I would have for sure crossed 60% given all of the activities of the month. But I guess I was too focused on the income side and ignored the mounting expenses. Although I must say, I had a really fun month with my fiance, family and friends, so that is the silver lining in all of this. I don't mind missing the 60% mark if I have some amazing life experiences to go along with it.
Let me start with the income side and as I mentioned in the last paragraph, there was a lot of activity here. This was the month where I felt the income impact from switching jobs again. I am loving to re-birth at my old job so far! When I started, I received a little extra capital as a part of returning and received the sign-on check this month. So talk about great timing for the bonus, especially as I learned my last investing lesson about always having a watch list prepared. You need the capital to pounce on your watch list after all, right? In addition, I received an extra half paycheck from my previous employer for the one week I worked in between pay periods. So technically I received 1.25X salary this month. These provided a nice jolt to the income side, that's for sure.
As you can see by the percentages, the next two items didn't have nearly the impact as the income from my employer. But there is no such thing as too small of income! The dividend income received in August saw a nice increase during the month and hopefully that total continues to climb! Second, this was a fun experiment for me, I took a stab at knocking out one of my other goals of receiving $1,000 in "Other Income" during the month. I started out the year with a full head of steam, earning $500 by selling some electronics that were collecting dust. The problem was that I had liquidated my most valuable inventory, so I had to look elsewhere to find new items to sell. Luckily for me, I was bored one day and started surfing Craigslist while watching an Indians game. I came across a few ads for undervalued PS4 games, believing I could double my money. The seller accepted my offer and I posted my new inventory on Amazon hoping for a quick flip. Within 4 days, I sold my inventory and realized a 50% profit. The problem was…this gain was only $25. So I still have $475 to go if I want to knock out my goal of reaching $1,000. I learned a few things from this experience. First, I forgot to factor in the fees for selling on Amazon when calculating my profit. My goodness did that eat away at my profit. I will have to consider the magnitude of the fees for all future sales. Second, I questioned whether it was worth the time for only $25. Selling these products individually on Amazon added four trips to the post office (as everyone knows, this isn't exactly the fastest moving enterprise out there) since none of the products sold on the same day and I was told that I had to ship the items within two days of the sale. In total, I spent nearly 2 hours between walking to the post office and waiting in line. In this time, I could have been generating income other ways such commenting on other blogs, tweeting, or watching videos on Swagbucks. I need to calculate a value on the time lost moving the sold inventory. But at the end of the day, I was able to realize a nice profit and the experience was positive overall!
Now onto the expense side. Sorry for the long income summary everyone. Told you it was a crazy month. What's funny is that my weekends were just as action packed (if not more) and as a result, my expenses sky-rocketed. The weekends included activities such as attending Indians games, a live concert watching the Cleveland Orchestra cover music from the British Invasion, hosting out-of-town guests and trying to sell them on moving to our city, a weekend getaway, and so on. I mentioned this before, I loved all the memories I had and I wouldn't trade them…especially now that the Indians are making a late season playoff push. I'll focus in on my favorite though, the weekend getaway, because my fiance and I had a much-needed trip away. We visited a bed and breakfast in the heart of Ohio wine country. It was so peaceful being away from the city. Everything was so quite and the amount of visible stars in the sky compared to back home was unreal. During the daytime, we visited several of the local wineries and tasted a lot of wine. They were unique as the wineries we visited that specialized in creating sweet wines with different fruits. They were delicious and unique compared to the standard wines we can purchase at a grocery store. We loved the wines so much that we bought a case, some of which we will keep for ourselves and some we will distribute to others as gifts. I loved the trip, but between the dinners and the wine the costs began to add up. But you know what, who cares! We had a great time…that's all that matters.
There were a few other expenses worth quickly noting. We booked a flight to St. Louis in September and I drove a lot for work over the last two weeks. What sucks about the latter is that I have to pay the gas up front and receive the fuel reimbursement later, which won't be paid out until September. The price of two gas tanks is small, but every dollar counts when I missed 60% by .2%!
It always hurts to lose, it is a part of our competitive nature. What was tough about this month was that I thought achieving a savings rate of 60% would be a shoe-in given the extra income from starting my new job. I guess the moral of the story is that you cannot take anything for granted. Going forward, I will be able to use this month as a learning expense and work harder to find ways to keep my expenses lower. Regardless though, I had an amazing month and I wouldn't have done one thing differently. Hopefully this is what the rest of my life and financial freedom feel like.
How were your months? Were you able to save more income than expected? Did you take any fun trips? Do you have any recommendations on how to earn "Other Income" outside of selling old items and flipping video games? I have four months to go with this goal and I still have some work to do. I am looking forward to reading your comments everyone!

Targeted Commodity:
Silver, Cobalt, Gold, Zinc and Lead
Property Size and Position:
37,850 hectares located in the historical Thunder Bay Silver District. The land package is ideally located close to roads, power lines, infrastructure, and a skilled labour force.
Net Ownership:
Beaver Silver Property: 100% ownership on 21 claims. Option to acquire 100% interest on 3 Cairngorn Mines Limited patents.
Silver Mountain/Mink Property: 100% ownership
Lilly of the Valley/Federal Property: 100% ownership
Exploration History:
Honey Badger's land package hosts 12 past-producing high-grade mines with historic production of over 1.67M oz silver.
The Beaver Silver Property covers some of the most productive silver-bearing veins of the Rabbit Mountain group of deposits. including the high-grade Beaver Silver Mine that operated between 1884 and 1891 and produced over 500,000 oz silver at an average grade of 0.25% with zones grading up to 3.42% Ag (Ingall, 1889, Szetu, 1969).
Honey Badger's Silver Mountain/Mink Property is approximately 50 metres south of the Silver Mountain Group of deposits which produced 700,000 oz of silver from 1888-1903 and in 1911 (Franklin et al., 1986). The Silver Mountain Group was also mined for stucco dressing in 1924 (Franklin et al., 1986). The veins in Silver Mountain were up to 1,500 m in strike length, trending east-west (Franklin et al., 1986). The historical Mink and Silver Wolverine mines fall within the property claims, but little is known about these historical mines and their historical silver production and grade.
Honey Badger's Lilly of the Valley/Federal Property is approximately 5 kilometres east of the Beaver Silver Property. There are two historical mines on the claim group; Lilly of the Valley Mine and the Federal Mine. The Lilly of the Valley Mines have a 5,060 pound bulk sample which graded 2.98% Silver (Mineral Deposit Inventory for Ontario; Deposit: MDI52A06SW0003).
Mineralization Potential:
The geological history and the overall geological setting of the Thunder Bay Cobalt-Silver Project make it a prime target for the discovery of high-grade polymetallic silver, gold, zinc, lead, and cobalt mineralization.
Polymetallic silver deposits occur in two main districts in Ontario; that of Timiskaming near the town of Cobalt (the Cobalt Silver District) and that of northwest Lake Superior near the city of Thunder Bay (the Thunder Bay Silver District).
Polymetallic silver mineralization in the Cobalt District formed in a sedimentary sequence capping an Archean basement, and occurred in spatial association with diabase sills emplaced in an extensional setting (see Potter, 2009 for the geological history of the Cobalt District). The Thunder Bay Silver District exhibits the same geological setting and controls. Furthermore, a report filed with the Bureau of Mines in 1913 (REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF MINES VOL. XIX., PART II., The Cobalt-Nickel Arsenides and Silver Deposits of Temiskaming (Cobalt and Adjacent Areas), WILLET G. MILLER, Provincial Geologist, 1913) compared the minerals of the Port Arthur silver mines (Thunder Bay, ON) with those of the Temiskaming veins (Cobalt, ON) and found the following commonalities:
- Native elements: Native silver, native bismuth, graphite.
- Arsenates: Cobalt bloom, annabergite.
- Sulphides: Argentite, zinc blende, galena, pyrite, marcasite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, copper glance.
Also, "The vein filling materials are quartz, barite, calcite, dolomite, rhodochrosite and Fluorite." (T. Macfarlane, "Am. Inst. M. E.", Vol. VIII. 1S79-80, page 238) 1
The group of properties held or optioned by Honey Badger covers some of the most productive veins of the Thunder Bay Silver District. The geological attributes of the area and the spatial distribution of the polymetallic silver mines, showings and occurrences over approximately 100 kilometres suggest a good potential to discover additional high- grade polymetallic silver veins in the region.
Current and Upcoming Exploration Program
The Company initiated its exploration program in March 2018 and made several promising discoveries:
- >2 km "five-element" vein (polymetallic veins that can contain, amongst others, silver, cobalt, copper, lead and zinc) was discovered at the Beaver Mine.
- Airborne geophysics identified numerous targets on the project's land package that exhibit the same response as the historic Beaver Mine "five-element" vein.
- Grab samples* taken around the 12 historic mines on the property returned up to 1,503 g/t silver and 14.94% zinc.
- Drilling identified multiple zones of near-surface, arsenic-free, cobalt mineralization (0.26% cobalt over 10.8 m in BM-18-004) and high-grade silver mineralization (1,254 g/t silver in BM-18-006).
- The Company identified several drill-ready exploration targets for its next drilling program.
* Grab samples are selective by nature and they may not represent the true mineralization of the prospect.
Based on the excellent results to date, the Company will initiate a follow-up drilling program in 2019.

Daisy Duke may be known for the tie-front top, but the shirt actually has a long history. As seen on everyone from '50s screen sirens (Marilyn Monroe) to '90s supermodels (Claudia Schiffer, Guess ads), the top has become as iconic as the blue jean.
I have taken the Midriff and Tie-Front Top trend and combined them to get this sultry look!
Top: This pastel plaid blouse is by Hollister. There are many ways to tie a blouse but I decided to make it easy and just tied this shirt high in the front and let it hang lower in the back. I channeled this look in trendy summer hues to get a modern sexy preppy look!
Pants: These crisp white stretch skinny jeans by Vanilla Star are perfect for warm summer nights. I love the fit and want a baby blue pastel pair next!
Have a Stylish day!

Finding affordable housing in Miami has never been harder, and the problem affects the whole city: It worsens traffic gridlock by forcing workers to live at the edges of the county, drives out bright college grads who would otherwise stay, and can even prevent domestic violence victims from leaving their abusers.
A new study points to yet another complication: The crisis might be preventing more HIV/AIDS patients from getting treatment. According to data from
"Housing and transportation are extraordinarily important factors impacting people living with HIV/AIDS and affecting their linkage to (and retention in) HIV care," the report says.
Miami receives federal funding specifically meant for housing people with HIV/AIDS, but as rents rise, fewer people can be helped. As of last year, an estimated 10,787 of them needed housing assistance, but the city was able to hand out only 1,032 vouchers.
That's a problem, because according to a recent county survey, the average income for a person living with HIV/AIDS was just $1,204 a month, barely enough to afford a studio apartment and still pay for necessities such as food and electricity. Twenty percent of survey takers said they were in impermanent housing: either homeless, bunking with family or friends, renting a room by the week or month, or in other transitional living quarters.

Many said they did not have enough money for a security deposit plus first and last month's rent, while others had no credit or bad credit. Some said they didn't have transportation to look for housing. If given the opportunity, most (60 percent) said they'd like to live in the city of Miami; others chose Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, and Hialeah.
Even those who had secured housing weren't out of the woods. Thirteen percent reported experiencing discrimination on the basis of their HIV/AIDS status, sexual orientation, or status as an ex-offender, while 11 percent said their landlord had disclosed their HIV/AIDS status to others without their consent. In fact, one of the top three reasons for moving was a desire for more privacy about their status.
For now, though, it appears the problem is primed to get worse before it gets better: Due to a change in federal housing law last year, Miami-Dade will lose $600,000 to help house people with HIV/AIDS, according to the county.

There are plenty of things you'd rather do than sit down, roll up your sleeves, and hammer out billing. Like getting a root canal, say. Or waxing your back. But billing isn't just a necessary evil. It's the lifeblood of your business. Here are five tips to help you improve billing processes and keep the cash rolling in.
1. Sign on the dotted line. All too often, business owners operate on trust. They think that presenting a contract to a client is offensive or off-putting. It's not. A contract outlines the scope of work, sets firm expectations, and holds both parties accountable.
2. Run the option. No two clients are quite alike. So let them do things their own way. By providing several payment options – like credit, check, or electronic transfer – you can make the process smoother and get paid faster.
3. Take an interest. At the bottom of your invoice, clearly outline the due date. Then, include a short statement communicating the interest charged on late payments. Three to five percent is a reasonable amount. This creates a sense of urgency for your clients, giving them an incentive to pay you on time.
4. Carry the one. Invoice calculation errors are surprisingly common. Before you send an invoice, check your math. Failing to do so could result in underpayments. Even worse, you may have to pay back any overpayments submitted by your clients.
5. Pick up the phone. If you're in business long enough, you'll have to make the dreaded collection call. When you do, be firm but polite. Sometimes your clients get stretched thin themselves. And sometimes your invoices are simply overlooked.
Collections aren't your thing? Don't sweat it. TBS Capital Funding can do it for you. AND we can turn your accounts receivable into instant cash. If you need help with invoicing, collections, or funding, just give us a call. We make the process fast and painless. Unlike waxing your back.

Everton on course for last 16
Wednesday 13 February 2008
Article summary
SK Brann 0-2 Everton FC
Leon Osman and Victor Anichebe scored lovely second-half goals as Everton resumed their UEFA Cup charge.
Article top media content
Article body
Leon Osman and Victor Anichebe scored superb second-half goals as Everton FC left SK Brann with a 2-0 victory and a significant advantage in this Round of 32 tie.
Chances had been at a premium before Osman struck just before the hour mark, drilling the loose ball across goal and into the corner of the net from just outside the box. Everton's second, with two minutes to play, owed itself as much to Joleon Lescott's wonderful pass as Anichebe's controlled finish, and the visitors will be confident of completing the job at Goodison Park a week on Thursday to earn a meeting with either Rosenborg BK or ACF Fiorentina.
Early opening
Everton began with the confidence of a team occupying fourth spot in the Premier League and could have struck with barely 30 seconds played had Yakubu Ayegbeni not scuffed his shot from a narrowing angle. Still, the visitors were fortunate not to fall behind in the ninth minute as Jan Gunnar Solli curled in a free-kick from the left which Kristján Sigurdsson flicked on for Azar Karadas who, surprised by the pace of the ball, could only head over when well placed.
Bakke foul
Those early forays were not a sign of things to come, though, as graft superseded craft and defences established control. Brann goalkeeper Håkon Opdal produced one acrobatic stop to deny Osman, while Tim Howard in the opposite net was untroubled until added time when a foul on the American by Eirik Bakke prevented Brann from scoring from a corner.
Cahill warning
Everton approached the second half with more purpose and Tim Cahill had fired a warning by shooting against the post before Osman broke the deadlock in the 59th minute. Howard then had to be alert to prevent Thorstein Helstad from netting a speedy equaliser, although there was to be no denying David Moyes's side as substitute Anichebe touched in Lescott's curled cross from the left to add the gloss to Everton's sixth successive victory in the UEFA Cup.

It's a special privilege to work on a brand that we grew up with, and we are proud to have poured our creative passion into the rebrand. Walkers is a warm, optimistic brand that uses only the best potatoes farmed in the United Kingdom. Provenance has taken on new importance in consumer minds, and the look and feel of the crisp aisle has shifted from mass produced to homegrown. In a crowded field, fewer Walkers packs were showing up in lunchboxes and the brand was beginning to lose its glow. Collaborating with PepsiCo's Design Centre, Vault49 was asked to craft design solutions that allowed Walkers (a PepsiCo brand) to shine on-shelf and celebrate the brand roots and ingredient origin story. To place Walkers center shelf required a creative solution grounded in authenticity. Our design needed to be eye-catching to put the beloved brand front of mind for consumers, and we leveraged Walkers' rich history with a carefully crafted design solution that celebrates and modernizes Walkers' heritage. Previously the logo felt separated from the pack and we wanted to give meaning to the much loved Walkers globe, so we moved it center to put it at the heart of the story. The repositioning created the scaffolding for the Union Jack, which lives across all flavor editions, and acts as a holding device for the icons that burst out of center. Illustrations of Big Ben and red telephone boxes inject warmth that is true to the Walkers brand promise. At Vault49 we know what it means to be British, and conscious that this needed to be more than just a tourist pack, we brought our own playful spin. Starting with a very British cup of tea, we added a flying bird in John Lennon glasses and a parachuting potato that celebrates the local ingredient story. Walkers has a rich history of bringing people together, and the rebrand has returned Walkers to its rightful place on shelf and in the hearts and minds of British consumers nationwide. We wanted to give meaning to the much loved Walkers globe, so we moved it center to put it at the heart of the story play pause Previous project Back to top Next project

Here's Kuning bidding everyone farewell. She'll be back soon :)
(she's just test driving PP's car)
I am sorry lil one. I didn't forget. I just forgot to post about you. Five years and this lil shitzu is running our lives. *lol*
My first three years with him was joyful. He takes care of me when i am sick and vice versa. He comes and sleep by my side. I remember him coming in and checking on me off and on. He was like a lil nurse. He wakes me up like an alarm clock every Sunday like clockwork. It is unconditional love... it is.
Shitzu's are pretty loving creatures. They just love tummy rubs and just love to sleep near you. They love the human contact. They love to be pampered. And they don't like to share their love... especially not with other doggies.
Doggies are mighty forgiving i am sure. I'll bring you a big greenie when i see you soon PP. Happy Birthday to you my lil sis and a beeeeeeelated one to you PP.

The Device Hunter
The old man ran his finger around the edge of his glass 'til it sang. The other Guild Masters reached for their own and did the same until the banquet hall filled with the clear ringing sound. The guests quietened down and turned towards the main table expectantly. Guild Master Wort Turner rose.
"There is a portrait; you will have seen it when you came in.
Indeed, it is difficult to miss.
It is the portrait of one of the most important of our Guild.
He may not have been there at the beginning, but without him..."
Even after all these years, remembering Thomas Meade still affected him deeply. The older man sitting to his right, laid an understanding hand on his arm. The Guild Master smiled at him and continued,
"We are surrounded tonight by poets, storytellers, and imaginaries from around the land.
All of us, without exception, owe our existence to this man.
Indeed, we would not hold the place in society that we do,
and even these hallowed halls would not be here, if it were not for him.
Which, for two reasons, is ironic.
Born in a time when there were no stories, tales, no fables, and no chronicles,
Thomas Meade was a man with so dark a reputation that even night shrank from him.
Let us be truthful - he was a killer.
A silencer of dreamers and a destroyer of creation.
Tonight, we celebrate Thomas Meade, a man who, when our memories begin, was,
as we are fond of saying here - a man in search of a story.
Stand with me and raise your glasses – to Thomas Meade."
Borgin Drauma – The City of Dreams
The burning-dead-flowers smell of solder hung sharp in the air. It was paradise.
On Thomas Meade, smiles died early deaths. But he'd been friends, if you could call it that, with Keg for a long time, so at the sight of Cornelius Keg, Master Device Smith, hunched over and intent on the mechanical brains of a tiny box chronometer, he smiled. Or rather, his mouth jerked up on one side.
"You'll have to wait. I'm—"
"Right in the middle of something," interrupted Meade. "You'll say that when the Devil comes for your soul, Cornelius."
The smith shot a sarcastic look from under his greying, bushy brows at the dark wide-shouldered shape of the man towering in his doorway, picked up a fine screwdriver and went back to work. His workbench was cluttered with glass bottles, some filled with anonymous sizes of brass screws, one lying on its side, its contents spilling out on the ironwood bench. Other bottles, stuffed with copper springs and small iron gears, stood within reach. A tin of screwdrivers, a fine, black-tipped soldering iron – still smoking, leather finger-press bellows, scraps of sketches held down by lumps of ore and half-finished mechanisms all lay waiting to be needed.
"Is there any milk to drink?" Meade asked pushing the door closed.
Keg hunched up a petulant shoulder and jerked his chin at the massively chased, silver samovar on the shelf.
Meade swung the satchel off his shoulder and thumped it down on the end of the workbench. Dust coughed and hung in the air before sinking back with a sigh. Dropping his hat on top of the bag, he unhooked one of the samovar's silver cups and twisted the tap. The sour taste of the liquid did little to quench his thirst. Another swig was even less helpful. He tossed the cup back on the shelf and surveyed the room.
Large mechanisms stood, one could almost say lurking, each decorated with small tags carrying the name of the device and their owners in a delicate calligraphy of twirls and ink. But, some of these marvels of copper, brass and bronze were the smith's own creation. And nowhere in Borgin Drauma could there be found devices like those of Cornelius Keg.
Meade liked being here. It amused him. He was always impressed, even slightly intimidated by the craftsmanship almost casually littering the place. And he wasn't often amused or impressed, and outside of this room, never intimidated.
There was one particular device he'd never seen before. Its long, curved arms rotated in delicate arcs around its spine, rising and falling as a brass ball dropped from one spoon-like appendage to another. He sauntered over to get a closer look.
"What's this?" Meade flicked the sharp end of a flat copper coil. It bounced nervously.
"Leave that alone." Keg's voice was as pointed and anxious as the coil.
Meade bent down, inspecting the device more closely. Deep inside the vibrating centre of its heart, a dozen tiny cogs clicked their way through tight, neat arcs around the device's power source. The pulsating lump of resin was held in one of the most delicate, intricate clasps he'd ever seen.
"What does it do?" Careful not to touch any of the working parts, Meade stretched out his forefinger until the resin was within reach. He could feel the silence tighten behind him. His mouth twitched again. A sharp blue light crackled wickedly through the air.
"Sst!" He jerked back his now blistered finger.
"Serves you right," Keg grunted. He put down his fine screwdriver and twisted the telescopic monocle on the headgear strapped to his forehead away from his left eye, until it hung, drooping slightly, an overweight antenna on a mildly demented bug, the other lenses sticking up bizarrely on their own stems.
"You'd better show me what you've got, then you can go and leave me in peace." He climbed down from his tall stool, muttering under his breath.
Although Meade was over six feet, Keg was short by anyone's standards. He made up for it with genius. There was a reason Cornelius Keg was the Master Device Smith. No one could turn blueprints into devices as easily, or as magnificently as he could. An unspoken competition existed among the city's Most Worshipful Guild of Device Smiths to create a blueprint that would finally foil his legendary skill. It gave him immense satisfaction to continually prove them wrong. There was no part he couldn't build, no matter how small or convoluted.
Meade pulled a fine linen column out of his satchel and, unrolling it as he went, carried it across to the large, oval survey board standing under the only window in the room. Keg followed, climbing the two or three stairs curling up against the wall on the other side of the table, bringing him almost to Meade's eye level.
"There's no maker's mark on it," said Meade as he flattened the blueprint. Keg twisted the clips on the table's edge to hold it in place. Even these were miniature masterpieces. Copies of the stone gargoyles, those tragic, extinct beasts that jutted out from the corners of the Patent Master's Hall.
"Well, that may not matter much. Every smith leaves his or her signature in one way or another." Keg rubbed his hands together in delight. "What have you brought me this time?" He pulled on a pair of fine, almost transparent silk gloves, cracked his knuckles, carefully placed his hands on the board and bent over with anticipation. Closing his eyes, he breathed in deeply, savouring the aroma of the ferro-gallate. Meade knew that for Keg, there was nothing more intoxicating than a new blueprint; that he revelled in the ritual of the first examination.
Meade leaned against the thick wooden pillar behind him to wait for the sigh of satisfaction that always concluded the little ceremony.
It didn't come.
He glanced at the small man. Keg had gone completely still. He almost wasn't breathing. His face grew paler, filling with a deepening fear.
Meade's eyes narrowed, a frown tightened on his forehead. He pushed himself upright. "Keg?"
Keg dragged his gaze off the plan and stared at him, horror etched into his skin. "What did the Patent Master say when he gave it to you?"
"He wasn't in a good mood."
"Death?" Keg's voice was almost a whisper.
"Get out."
Meade wasn't sure he'd heard right. Nobody spoke to him like that. "What?"
"Get out!" Keg's voice rose.
Meade stepped forward, looming over the table. "What is this device?"
Keg erupted, scrabbling at the desk, ripping the blueprint violently off the board. Small bits tore, trapped under the gargoyles' tight fists. "Get out! And take this infernal thing with you!" He was hysterical, shaking and pale. He scrunched up the blueprint, throwing it at Meade.
An eyebrow leapt up Meade's forehead. "Keg, what is it?"
"I will have no head with this. Get out. Get out!"
Meade had never seen the smith like this. It was an odd mixture of rage and fear. He didn't need to push the smith for more information right now. He could easily come back another time. He tucked the crushed sheet into one of the cavernous pockets of his greatcoat, shoved on his hat and swept up his satchel as he strode out.
In the street though, he paused and looked back into the workshop. The door was taking its time in closing. Behind it, the room stood in shocked silence. Golden dust motes, disturbed by his abrupt exit were drifting, searching for a place to settle back down. The samovar pinged.
Beneath the table, Keg clutched his knees to his chest, rocking himself backwards and forwards, whimpering, tears rolling slowly down his face.

In November 2014 the government issued an advice document to schools about "Promoting fundamental British values" through the school SMSC curriculum. As a school we have been working on ensuring that this aspect of SMSC is weaved throughout our curriculum and is reflected in our pupils. The aim of this page is to give you some examples of how we are promoting British Values, so you can understand what it looks like within our school. If you look through our Twitter feed or join us on Pinterest, you can see further examples of SMSC within our school. Click here to see our three years of blogging in pictures and learn about what our whole school community get up to!
If you click here you can download a copy of the document or if you click the links below you can read our Head Teacher's blogs, which give an insight into how SMSC is part of daily school life.
Below there is an outline of what the fundamental British values are and examples of how it is promoted through our SMSC curriculum.
Children within our school are taught about how citizens can influence decision making through the democratic process. In May 2015 we held our own Unsworth Election to run alongside the general election. The children were able to experience what an election is all about and understand their role within it. Watch the film below to see this experience for yourself or scan the QR code to hear our candidates speeches.

In all their daily interactions and throughout every lesson, respect for the individual is reinforced and modelled by all staff. Across all year groups children experience a range of visits and hear from a range of different speakers, in order for them to develop a respect for their global community.
Year 1 held a charity afternoon to develop their learning about "thinking of others". Click here to find out more.
Reception thought about Remembrance Day and created a whole school display to share their learning about why we remember and respect this important date each year. Click here to find out more.

Individual Liberty
Children learn that as an individual they are free to express themselves through art, dance, drama, music, sport etc. Within school, pupils are actively encouraged to make choices, knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment. As a school we educate and provide boundaries for young pupils to make choices safely, through provision of a safe environment and empowering education. Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our E-Safety and PSHE lessons. Whether it be through choice of learning challenge, of how they record, of participation in our numerous extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, pupils are given the freedom to make choices.
Our e-safety curriculum is celebrated during SID days.
- In Reception the children watched a cartoon about Smartie the Penguin who goes on the Internet.
- The children learnt that you do not always know who you are talking to online beacuse you can't see them. They made penguin masks to show how ieasy it is for someone to pretend.
- Reception now know not to give out their personal information.
- .
- They designed their own posters to tell people about how to stay safe.
- In Year 2 the children had a class discussion about what the Internet is used for and the types of things they do online.
- They learnt about Sid the Superhero's top tips for staying safe!
- In groups they used large rolls of paper to create e-safety banners to tell people that they must keep their personal information private.
- Children can now say what information is classed as personal and should not be given out online.
- For their homework they created their own information posters to give tips for staying safe online by doing research.
- In Year 4 the children thought about Social Networking, using the Smartie the Penguin online storybook.
- They focused on what rules would need to be followed to stay safe.
- In Year 6 the children held a debate titled "Is the Internet good news or bad news for young people?" They focused on considering whose responsibility it is to make the Internet safe.
- In their homework journals the children wrote their own information fact sheets about making the Internet a safer place

The Rule of Law
Children learn to appreciate that by living under the law, all individuals are protected and that the law is essential to keep the country running smoothly. Through assemblies and within all classrooms, children are taught about rules and how these create fairness for all. Visits from authorities such as the Police and Fire Service help reinforce this message.
As a school we follow our "Golden Rules", which underpin our school motto of "Together we build Understanding". Each classroom has its own rule and behaviour display, which sets out the class charter and the systems that are in place for rewards and sanctions. Click here to download a copy of our school behaviour policy or here for our behaviour booklet.
Reception help in the community
Children are taught to appreciate the fact that we are all different and unique individuals. Children within our school understand that everyone has a voice and is entitled to share their opinions, ideas and beliefs. Our children are taught to recognise discrimination and understand the importance of their role in stopping it.
Our whole school enquiry about Christmas through the arts developed a sense of spirituality.
- Our staff took time to turn the hall into a church.
- We used candles to decorate the hall and create a spiritual experience for the children.
- Our hall became a church with pews for all of our children.

I had a showdown with a 'road bully' yesterday. A middle aged Indian taxi driver, to be exact. I was making a turn into Company X parking lot when this taxi swerved out of its stationary position and almost collided with my car. I reflexed with honk (as always) and glowered at him (also gave him a 'palm' sign…). But instead of being apologetic about his mistake, the Indian driver gesticulated back… as if I was the one who did wrong. Pissed, I responded by stopping my car and we exchanged a few signs – but no confrontation, yet.
So I went on my way back to the building after that… when I saw that Indian taxi driver again. He stopped his taxi near the factory entrance, and appeared to be scoping for my appearance. Having had experiences with a lot of 'unstable' types of people before, I jotted down his car registration number on my palm… you know, just in case anything bad were to happen. Indian guy saw me doing that and flagged me over to his car. Apparently, he didn't like what he saw and chose to confront me instead:
[conversation was actually in both Malay and English, but for convenience' sake, I'm going to put it all in English]
Indian guy : "Why did you copy down my car registration number??"
Me : "Why can't I?"
Indian guy : "No… I was asking, why did you copy down my car registration number??"
He obviously didn't hear what I said, or he was too plain dumb to understand it.
Me : "I can copy down anything I want. Even a bull cart's number if I like. So why not?"
Indian guy : [sniggers] "Alright, alright, go ahead and copy it as you wish" [chuckles]
Me : "Already done that."
Not wanting the whole thing to end just there, I threw him a very shallow insult
Me : "Say… do you really know how to drive? Do you even have a driving license? I was wondering…"
He caught it.
Indian guy : "Hey! Watch what you say, ok??"
Me : "In case you didn't realize, you almost hit my car just now. You call that good driving?"
Indian guy : "What? It wasn't even close! You think I'm blind or something?? I was just waiting for my passenger bla bla bla and was bla bla bla…"
Me : "Yes I do think you're blind."
At that moment, he started to speak in a very harsh tone. Like he was trying to intimidate me or something.
Indian guy : "You're the one who was paranoid… honking and giving me that nasty look!"
Me : "Why… can't I do that?"
Indian guy : "Did I wreck your car?? No, right??"
Me : "Oh, so I can honk and give you a nasty look ONLY IF you wreck my car? What are you stupid or something?"
Indian guy : "Ma cheebye you!! What did you say???"
[I don't know why he had to use a Hokkien dialect to vent his anger at me. As if being able to hurl expletives in Hokkien would make him sound more coherent and therefore, justify his fucked up behavior. Hhyeah right.]
Then he got out of his car and acted so very tough like that. But that was not what I really wanted. It's no glory to beat up a short old man. Besides, I might lose my job for doing that.
Me : "So you're suppose to be tough huh? Good. Let's see how tough you are with our security guards."
Indian guy : "Go lah! You think I'm scared??"
Me : "You bet I am going to. Just stay where you are. And don't go away"
Indian guy : "What can you do to me?? You think I'm stupid aa? Bla bla bla bla " [inaudible voice as I was walking away to the security post]
Me : "Of course I think you're stupid! If you're not stupid, then you wouldn't have been a taxi driver in the first place."
If he's smart or intelligent, he would be preaching some quantum physics theory at a university somewhere, instead of driving a junk around like a motherfucking prick, you know what I'm saying?
And he continued to wave his fist in the air and taunted me but I only responded to his pathetic attempt of heroism with couple retort in his native Tamil language – "Phordahhh!!!" (which meant "Fuck off!" or something)… and it got him madder. (It was fun watching him go apeshit)
I expected him to sustain that identity of a tough Hindustan hero, you know… to hold his stance until his 62% evil adversary return with his villain reinforcements (security guards), but I was wrong. Instead of that, he made a beeline into his taxi (he was more like diving into it) and sped off like a bat flying out of hell. I've never seen anyone disappear so fucking fast before.
I stood there dumbfounded and went "Hey! What the fuck?? Where did the tough guy go?". Tough guy my ass.
But I went to report the incident to the security nevertheless, and got his registration number recorded down. I actually requested to get the taxi company blacklisted from our corporate list, but apparently, the decision has to involve somebody at the 'higher level'… if you know what I mean. There's nothing that our security department can do other than giving that chicken ass loser a verbal warning…
Whatever lah.

Bigotry of ANY kind makes me upset. If you believe that you are better than ANY human being, you are a bigot.
I know that this sounds like a pretty harsh rule, and it is – partly because it's a rule that accuses us all. We are all, in some way, bigots.Â
There is something inside of us that wants to say that we have more value than the person next to us. I don't know how to describe that something in any other way than that it is evil.
Oh, we try to dress it up. We disguise it with words that illustrate our great benevolence. We even join organizations that espouse causes that fight against bigotry. Why, we are bigoted against the bigots.
It is such an incredible curse, that we will even jeopardize our survival to protect our bigotry.
You are probably wondering why I am so riled up about this subject. It's not news to anyone, and you've come here to read about Israel and global security.
Well, I wasn't going write about this, this morning. I was actually going to play out a scenario to help y'all understand a thing or two about one thing, or another. However, as I prepared to play out my scenario, I realized that I just couldn't shut up about something that I'd seen and heard last night.
PBS is doing a series on World War II, and they are doing an incredibly good job of describing the war and the personal impact that war had on America. I haven't been watching all of it, and I couldn't even see the whole show last night. But, I saw enough.
African American men and women served our country and even sacrificed their lives for us, and we had nothing but contempt for that sacrifice. We segregated them, and gave them white officers. We sent them out to build our ships, but we never allowed them to be more than assistants and apprentices.
Even when we were desperate for people to step in and perform duties that were vital to the survival of our country, we chose the least able over that of an African American. And, if an African American should point this out, we beat him up – or worse, her up.
We put our own survival on the line because we did not want an African American to have a place of honor. Can you believe that?
And, what makes me even MORE upset is that the worst examples come from the 'bible belt'. 'Christians' of every stripe participated and tacitly supported this bigotry. They denied voting rights. They denied jobs. They denied even spiritual life.
Before you shake your head and say that John has bought into a load of… propaganda, I should tell you that I have seen this for myself. I have personally seen men and women say and do what they never should have done, or said.
I wouldn't be so upset now at what I saw last night, if I had not seen the spirit of bigotry alive and well in our hearts.
We have much to answer for.

Two brothers suffering from a rare Behcet's disease made an extreme choice – the elder brother killed himself, and the younger one went paralyzed from a neck injury after jumping from his apartment building.
The Korean College of Rheumatology (KCR) expressed grief and emphasized that Bechet's disease was treatable with proper monitoring.
The brothers developed the disease more than 20 years ago, and the incident occurred on May 17. The elder brother, aged 51, was found dead in his room and the younger, 47, jumped off his apartment. The younger brother was kept alive but paralyzed from breaking two bones in the neck. The two men had lost vision due to the complication from Behcet's disease.
Behcet's disease is a systemic disorder with frequent recurrent multiple oral ulcers, skin lesions, genital ulcers, and uveitis. It can also affect the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, nerves, and joints.
"We are saddened to hear about the incident of the brothers with Behcet's disease. We hope patients with rare diseases can manage their disease well and live a healthy life without despair," KCR said in a statement Thursday. "Behcet's disease can be overcome if patients manage it well."
KCR went on to say that although the disease is a rare, intractable one, many cases involve mild symptoms. "Even if it stays active, we can maintain long-term stability with good management. It can be treatable," it said.
According to KCR, 30 to 70 percent of patients with Behcet's disease have uveitis, but the number goes down to 20 to 30 percent among Korean patients.
"In Korea, one of the many causes of blindness is Behcet's disease, and young men are known to have a worse prognosis. However, early detection and treatment do not lead to loss of vision," it said.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I lost my Mom to breast cancer in 1996 & the disease is still claiming so many loved ones.
I've changed my blog's background color to pink for breast cancer awareness month (many thanks & much respect to Rae for giving me the idea!!).
You'll notice that my blog and social media (links below) have all been turned pink because, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month stores will fill a section of their building with all things pink, NFL teams will wear pink with their uniforms, and money will be raised all over the country for research and treatments.
I've always supported breast cancer awareness because I always thought that it was a good cause (just like wearing red for cardiac care or purple for domestic violence awareness). However, now I support this cause for much more personal reasons. When I was a freshman in college my Aunt Helen was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. We got her diagnosis on September 7th which is also a friends birthday. We had plans to go out that night and I was trying really hard to not dampen the mood while we were supposed…

James Lum, Matthew Greene, and Hunter Hopcroft own JM Stock Provisions, a whole-animal butchery in Charlottesville and Richmond, VA. JM Stock is dedicated to sourcing high-quality, sustainably raised meats from close to home, and has been working closely with their farmers since opening in 2013. In addition to wide selection of beef, pork, chicken, and lamb cuts, JM Stock offers housemade sausages, bacons, deli meats, and terrines, as well as broths and soups. Both locations also stock a curated selection of pantry items, prepared foods, beer, wine, and fine artisan cheese from around the globe. JM Stock Provisions has been awarded three Good Food Awards: in 2017 for their Beef Tongue Pastrami, in 2016 for their Tasso Ham, and first won in 2015 for their Paté de Campagne.
Prior to opening JM Stock, Lum and Greene worked together at Brooklyn's The Meat Hook. During their time in New York, their passion for sustainable food intensified, and they honed their skills in butchery. Charlottesville's vibrant food community, support for local farming, and consumer attention to craftsmanship made for an ideal location to open the first JM Stock Provisions shop in October 2013. The pair partnered with Hopcroft to expand JM Stock into the Richmond area, opening in The Fan in January 2015.
In addition to their core butchery business, JM Stock offers a CSA-style Meat Club with weekly pick-ups in Charlottesville and Richmond, monthly butchery classes, and also features an extensive catering and charcuterie menu. JM Stock also hosts regular events including their annual "Meat Your Makers" food fair featuring their own products and local food and farming partners."

This set is made to have sewer runs and have fun while doing it. The sewer comes with pipes, pump stations, and even valves. You have rooms that you can put just about anywhere and connect them if you want to. You also have a ladder and crosswalks to place throughout the dungeon if you want to make a multi-level sewer system.
**Sewer tunnels must be laid down first with the edges overlapping because of the blurred edge to give as close as a smooth transition as possible. There may not be a perfect seam but you can use objects to help hide the lines.
**The walls/rooms needs to be laid down on top of the sewer tunnels with the open section lay just over the sewer tunnel walls in order to get them to transition smoothly.
**Pipes and ladders and any extras must be laid down after the walls and sewer tunnels to see them. You may add rooms from another set to the sewer tunnels but be advised that not all rooms will mesh nicely with tunnels. After all there are few if not any doors in a sewer.

If you do have writers block, you can use the "brain dumping" method to overcome this. All you are doing is writing as fast as possible, regardless of what you write down. Just write down everything that comes into your mind, and this will help the break writer's block that you may be experiencing. The grammar, spelling, and all other things related to proper writing will be ignored - just write fast and furious! Once you write everything down, you will be surprised by how much content you actually have once you begin transcribing what you have said. Once you have everything written down, just restructure and proofread the article before you use it.

Number of pages: 478
Number of times read (including the time before this review): 1
Rating (out of five stars): 0
Have you ever read a book with so much praise and gone "what do people see in this?" That was me after deciding to DNF The Passion of Dolssa. The book isn't boring (though it's certainly not interesting), but there were things that rubbed me the wrong way and eventually made me give up. Let's go over them, shall we.
The Passion of Dolssa is set in 13th century France. Naturally, the book contains French. As I was a French Immersion student from senior kindergarten to the end of grade nine, I know a little bit of French. The problem is that I learned to speak 21st century French, not 13th century French (I'm not even sure the language in this book is accurate, as after hours of research online, I couldn't find a lot of the words used). My knowledge of 21st century French made reading this book confusing as the words are similar, yet different from the ones I know. A particularly confusing word used was "oc". I went fairly far into the book not knowing what "oc" stood for. That was until I reach a chapter where the word "mère" was spelt maire. I then assumed that the author was spelling French words as they are pronounced, which meant that "oc" could be the word "aussi". However, that didn't make sense in context. It was then that I did a bit of research and found that "oc" stood for a language in the 13th century, but that didn't make complete sense either. I then came to a spot where it compared "oc" and "non" as if they were opposites, and I made my final guess that "oc" stood for "oui". The thing is that the author used "oc" as both the language and "oui", so it became a fun game to see which one had been used.
Another problem I had with the inclusion of 13th century French was that the author used it in a way that it looked like she was proving how much of the language she knew. She would call a thing by its English equivalent for 15 chapters and the suddenly use the 13th century French word for it. It just seemed like she was trying to prove how smart she was for knowing these words.
Also, you basically have to be a 13th century historian in order to understand what's going on. The author thrusts you into a world with hardly any explanation, and you are just supposed to know everything about where you are and what's happening. This is a YA book and the author wrote it as though the average 17 year old has a university degree in the 13th century French history.
Overall, The Passion of Dolssa was uninteresting and confusing, earning it a DNF and 0 stars out of 5.

Title: The White Rose
Author: Amy Ewing
Age Group: Teen/Young Adult
Genre: Dystopian Fiction
Series: The Lone City, book two
Star Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
I borrowed this book from my local library and reviewed it.
This is going to sound a little bit off topic, especially for a book I feel so strongly about, but, I really love my library. I go to that place almost every day. And that's how I found out about this series. I love dystopian novels, even though nowadays you see them all the time. (though I'll never forgive Veronica Roth for that horrible ending..) and my librarian, after reading it with her daughter, ordered a copy for me so I could read it.
And as I've said before, sequels are scary for me, especially when I particularly enjoyed the book preceding it. But I'm so happy to say that The White Rose didn't let me down in the slightest! With just as much oomph of The Jewel, The White Rose completely captivated me from start to finish, and as someone who waited for this sequel with bated breath.. Well, Amy Ewing did a fantastic job. I can't wait for the final book in this powerful, thought-provoking trilogy!
This book begins only moments after The Jewel ends. I don't want to give too much away and spoil it all, but I'll say that Violet and the characters from it don't disappoint, as well as new ones with compelling histories and memorable personalities. The pacing was completely breakneck; I couldn't put it down. (In fact, so I could enjoy it more, I made myself deliberately stop. Lol.) And that ending! The ending was even more explosive than the first one! Please don't tell me I have to wait another year for the third one! What am I supposed to do before then?
In all seriousness, though: I need the third book, and will be waiting with extreme anticipation and impatience for the next installment! Wonderful! The bottom line: The thought-provoking and satisfying sequel to the bestseller The Jewel, The White Rose was absolutely fantastic! Next on deck: Ghostly by Audrey Niffenegger!
