Cronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
CLL is the slow growth of malignant B-cell lymphocytes in the blood and bone marrow.1 There are 2 forms of CLL:
Forms Of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
- CLL associated with high levels of ZAP-70 and CD38 proteins progresses relatively quickly. People with this form of CLL survive an average of about 8 years1
- CLL associated with lower levels of ZAP-70 and CD38 proteins progresses very slowly and rarely needs to be treated. People with this kind of CLL survive an average of 15 years or more1
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Epidemiology
- Risk factors include exposure to certain chemicals (eg, Agent Orange, certain pesticides); family history (first-degree relatives of CLL patients have a 2- to 4-fold increased risk); male gender; North American or European ancestry (in contrast with Asian)1
- The 5-year relative survival rate for CLL is 79%2
The symptoms of CLL are often vague and nonspecific. They may include asthenia, fatigue, weight loss, fever, night sweats, enlarged lymph nodes, and enlarged spleen. Patients with advanced CLL may develop anemia, neutropenia, lymphocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and frequent infection.1

It caught a few people by surprise when multiple G1-winning jockey Olivier Doleuze bought his tack to Dubai at the start of the UAE season in November. After 15 years in Hong Kong, the veteran rider could have been forgiven for spending the winter playing golf, or think about retirement, even. Not so, he's still on an adventure.
"It was a surprise to me too," says the genial Frenchman (pictured), looking very much at home in a swish restaurant inside one of Dubai's many five-star hotels. "I've been riding since 2002 in Hong Kong, off and on, for around 15 years. I thought when my contract finished there maybe I would like a break, maybe retire, but I still wanted a bit of time to think about it. Then, after two or three months, I missed horses and missed riding."
So to Dubai he went, along with his wife and son. It was a brave move, stable jockey jobs having already been snapped up for the season, meaning Doleuze would have to take rides wherever available. Almost immediately, it worked, top French trainer Eric Lemartinel putting him on some of his Arabians and the jockey landing feature race success on Darius Du Paon at Abu Dhabi's opening fixture.
As with his big victories, he celebrated the win with an outstretched arm.
"I've been lucky to sit on the right horse at the right time," he says of his five wins so far this season. "It's the same everywhere, but I've been blessed to ride a few winners already."
So, out of all of the places he could have chosen to base himself for the winter, why Dubai?
"I like the heat. After a long time in Hong Kong, it's difficult to get back to a cold place, and I've been lucky enough to ride some good winners here, including Rich Tapestry," he explains. "The way they treat horses here is fabulous. In Hong Kong there is no space, but here it's a bit like paradise for the horses. So I thought this was the right place to go."
Now 46, Doleuze has spent plenty of time contemplating when to bring the curtain down on a career that has yielded nearly 600 winners in Hong Kong alone.
"I think I am nearly at the end of my career; 15 years in Hong Kong is tough," he says. "It's a good place, but it's tough for the mind as you give a lot to Hong Kong. So now it's time to enjoy my job as much as I can. So I'm happy to be here, to meet some different jockeys, to ride some Arabian horses. Experience in life is what I like."
Rich Tapesty's U.S. success stands out
He's hesitant, however, about committing to riding for much longer, pointing to a difficulty in keeping his weight down as one of the factors that might spur on retirement plans.
"When you turn 40, the body changes a little bit and it's more difficult to lose weight," he says ruefully. "So I don't know if I will ride until 50. We'll see where the wind blows; maybe I'll just ride a bit heavier, but we'll see. I think 50 is a good number."
Even if he doesn't press on into a fifth decade in the saddle, Doleuze has much to look back on, including plenty of G1 success with the likes of top miler Good Ba Ba, as well as Rich Tapestry, who became the first Hong Kong-trained horse to win in America when landing the 2014 Santa Anita Sprint Championship for trainer Michael Chang. It's that win that stands out.
"I would say Good Ba Ba was the best horse I rode in Hong Kong, but my highlight would be when I won in America on Rich Tapestry," he says. "It's the first time that a Hong Kong horse raced there and to win on the dirt in America was something very special. When you win the local races it's good, but when you start to travel and win outside with the horses from Hong Kong it's special.
"I don't think anyone will do this again. Rich Tapestry was a very good horse, but on the grass he was just a local Group 2 horse. When we put him on the dirt, he was one class better, because he was just able to travel so well and keep his energy very well. So we took him to Dubai and won the preparation race and then we were second, beaten by another Hong Kong horse. Then back in Hong Kong, there weren't too many options, so we decided to try our luck. When we said we were going to go to America, everyone looked at us like we were crazy, so to be able to win was fantastic."
Even after so many good memories in Hong Kong, where he is the ninth most successful rider of all time, you get the impression that Doleuze is happy to be out of what can at times be a pressure-cooker environment.
"It's a lot of pressure," he says. "There is so much gambling involved in Hong Kong and so much competition between the trainers and the jockeys. It's complicated to explain, but it's such a tiny place that, when you have a bad time, people who used to call you every day to ride won't even pick up the phone anymore.
"So it's up and down, so you need to be very strong in the head and don't let all the emotional stuff affect your riding. But it's a very good place and, when you leave there, you will improve, not only as a jockey but as a person, because there is no place for failure. If you're not strong enough, you can't stay in Hong Kong."
As he takes more time to enjoy life, what does the future hold for Olivier Doleuze, who famously designed many of his own clothes while in the Far East, and who, even on a day off, is immaculately-dressed with a cashmere jumper wrapped over his shoulders. Perhaps a fashion line?
"No, no, I don't think so," he smiles. "That's why I'm happy to be riding again so I don't have to think about it. It's not easy, I stopped school when I was just a kid, so from 14 until now, all I know is to ride horses, so it's difficult when it suddenly stops.
"I'm trying to think about different options, but I can't find just one. I would enjoy training, but in Europe it's difficult and in Hong Kong it's really, really difficult, so I don't really know. But for sure I will have to do something, or I will get bored very easily."
With such energy for life and a superb career to reflect on, Olivier Doleuze certainly won't be bored for very long.

Crime is a social problem that affects thousands of hotels every year. Combating the complex issue of potential crimes at hotels requires various strategies. The process of risk mitigation begins with awareness of relevant risk factors, ideally in the early design stages of the hotel property itself.
This new Workshop is the first of its kind that deals with the issue of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (C.P.T.E.D.) in the specific context of the hotel industry. C.P.T.E.D. is an effective, results-driven approach to crime prevention which is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue throughout the hospitality business globally.
You will learn more about how to build a robust security architecture based on the principles of C.P.T.E.D. and we will show you the techniques on how to maintain the first layers of defence.
This workshop is tailored to hotel managers, architects, hotel developers and hotel security managers that are involved in the safekeeping of guests and staff. It is hosted in selected venues.
Online Hotel Security Course for Hotel Management – FREE!

A government official from China's eastern province of Shandong announced Thursday that the region plans to shut down 1.23 million tons of coal capacity, according to Reuters. The statement came two days after Shandong was singled out for criticism by the central government in Beijing over its failure to proactively cut coal capacity.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) released a statement on Tuesday accusing Shandong officials of misleading authorities to evade cuts in the polluting coal, steel, aluminum and chemical sectors.
"Local authorities in Shandong performed badly on reducing coal use… total coal consumption in 2015 and 2016 increased by 6.94 million tons and 7.06 million tons respectively compared to the level in 2012," the MEP said in the statement.
The statement followed inspections of Shandong by central government inspectors in the summer, during which Shandong said it had met the 2017 target of eliminating 2.55 million tons of coal capacity.

For the last pair of weekends, the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live schedule has been one of the more grueling weekends for every team in competition. It's well known in the monster truck world that having four shows over the course of three days is tough on equipment, because there's not much time to repair parts if something does go awry during an event.
Every team deserves a break, both because they need it, and also having fewer shows means that fans will come out in bigger numbers across the board for the action in the arena.
This past weekend, the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee, hosted a weekend of intense action for the Hot Wheels machines, but it would ultimately be an easier weekend for teams, because it was just a two-show event over the course of one day. Sure, it meant fewer times behind the wheel, but it also raised the intensity up among the six drivers. To no one's surprise, the Saturday afternoon Crash Zone brought out a vast array of fans, as hosts Freddie Sheppard and Ken Navitsky kept the entertainment high and the crowd engaged.
After putting away all the displays and allowing the crowd to get into their seats, the afternoon festivities were set to get rolling. Fans were ready for the trucks to come to life, and just like always, the start of the action began with wheelies.
This week's opening victory went to a young man who's finally found his groove at the wheel on the tour, Cody Holman. The Bone Shaker was soaring to the sky on the afternoon, as he took the opening round competition.
Navitsky and Sheppard kept the crowd going as the beasts cooled off, but then it was time to begin a smoke show. The donut contest was next, and every truck was trying so hard to figure out a way to beat out the V8 Bomber, as Steven Snellen was the winner of the last eight competitions. On this afternoon…things remained the same.
Snellen smoked the tires like he has the last two weeks to record his ninth consecutive donut contest victory, and it's clear he is not looking to let up at all as the year continues.
Freestyle motocross gave everyone a nice break to let things settle back down, and when the engines fired yet again, it was all about distance as it was time to go after a long jump title.
This time, just like the last two weekends, it was the Demo Derby Cadillac of Derick Anson making the leap across the cars and landing well beyond the rest of the field, taking home what is now his ninth consecutive victory in the competition. The graffiti-colored SUV is certainly soaring to new heights with every opportunity.
Fans and teams got a chance to really take a break during intermission, and in doing so allowed drivers to get even more focused and get their reflexes reacting as quick as possible.
Racing got started after the beast Megasaurus had his lunch on an old subcompact car, and when it came down to the finals, Anson made it in, but he was joined by probably the best racer on the tour this year, Christian Norman in the Hot Wheels Racing 1 Raptor.
Both launched on the line with authority, but Norman seemed to keep the nose down just enough to stretch to the line first, giving him yet another racing win on the season to his very large tally.
Then, the floor was cleared, one of the cars got moved beside the light blue van in the center of the arena, and the safety crew was put on standby. The final part of the night was ready to rock, and freestyle was the competition that would officially determine the winner of the afternoon's Titan Cup.
Every driver took to the course extremely hard, hammering with speed and authority, getting the crowd roaring with what seemed every motion.
This afternoon, it was Anson that put on a clinic against the rest of the lineup to take home yet another freestyle crown, and take another Titan Cup back to Kentucky to share with the team.
- Wheelie Competition: Cody Holman, Bone Shaker
- Donut Contest: Steven Snellen, V8 Bomber
- Long Jump: Derick Anson, Demo Derby
- Racing Finals: Christian Norman, Hot Wheels Racing 1, def. Derick Anson, Demo Derby
- Freestyle: Derick Anson, Demo Derby
- Titan Cup Champion: Derick Anson, Demo Derby
With just about four hours between the conclusion of the afternoon event to the start of the second, teams had to do a lot of reworking to make changes for the second show. Luckily, unlike last weekend, no teams needed major repairs before needing to compete once again. Most of the work was done with the crews themselves getting hands on, as the drivers continued to sign autographs prior to the doors opening up for the evening show.
The track crew was busy as well, as they needed to maneuver some fresh iron into position for the second performance. But, by the time the gates opened for round two on the day, the only indication that a prior show ever occurred was the rubber marks on the floor.
But, another crowd was ready to witness the $3.88 toys available at Target and Walmart come full size and hit the track.
The wheelie contest did see a bit of a difference in winner, as after being shut out of the early show, Darron Schnell skied the Bigfoot Raptor to the top of the arena on each of his hits on the fresh car stacks. It certainly gave the team from Pacific, Missouri, a boost in morale as they had only a few wins between Schnell and Norman over the last several weeks outside of the racing bracket.
But, the next two events were mirror images of the afternoon, as both Snellen and Anson won their tenth consecutive donut and long jump contests, respectively, to keep a streak alive.
In between, the freestyle motocross and another dinner break for Megasaurus got the crowd really hyped up for when racing came around. It ultimately came down to the heavyweight battle between Foot and Demo Derby, just as so many prior showdowns in weeks past. This time, Schnell got the better of the Cadillac, reacting quickly to the green light and powered to the racing win on the evening.
Two wins on the night meant Schnell was leading the Titan Cup standings, and it would take a strong performance in freestyle to dethrone him.
Anson was up to the challenge, and after a performance that included a couple donuts, some fast hits on all the stacks and the van, and a couple moments where he got almost over, he was declared the winner of freestyle on this night. However, even with that win, his runner-up finish was the deciding factor. That meant Schnell because of his racing victory was the official Titan Cup champion of the second show.
Quite the way to end the weekend in the home town of Elvis Presley.
- Wheelie Competition: Darron Schnell, Bigfoot
- Donut Contest: Steven Snellen, V8 Bomber
- Long Jump: Derick Anson, Demo Derby
- Racing Finals: Darron Schnell, Bigfoot, def. Derick Anson, Demo Derby
- Freestyle: Derick Anson, Demo Derby
- Titan Cup Champion: Darron Schnell, Bigfoot
Another two-show weekend awaits the Hot Wheels tour next weekend, but this one is a trip south to the state that just recently played host to Super Bowl XLIII.
The Peach State is awaiting a pair of shows on February 23 in Albany, Georgia, inside the Albany Civic Center. Tickets are available for both shows, with the 1:30 p.m. performance having a Crash Zone party prior to show time.
Get your seats now to see the Hot Wheels on the shelf become life-size beasts.

Culturally Sustaining Teaching and Learning
We work with educators to help them reimagine and create school sites that recognize the unique cultural assets students bring with them to school and to leverage those assets to improve teaching and learning for all students. Educators learn how to shift deficit beliefs and enact instruction that honors and sustains the heritage and cultural practices of their diverse student population. This professional learning opportunity engages schools in understanding how to intentionally center and support linguistic and cultural pluralism through instruction, and how to create dynamic classroom spaces where all cultures are represented and valued equally.
Aspects of the Professional Learning include:
- unpacking identity and bias to recognize deficit thinking and actions
- redefining success and rethinking school practices that value students' cultural backgrounds
- centering the cultural agency of students in schools as the primary lens for instruction
- examining the historical context of schools and communities
- focusing on equity by questioning, analyzing and shifting current dominant norms and policies
- implementing culturally relevant content for authentic student learning
- enacting culturally sustaining teaching practices for increased student engagement
Our work with schools and districts is customized and collaborative. If you are interested in collaborating around culturally sustaining teaching and learning in your school or district, please contact us.

Trips by Lonely Planet – Share your Travel Experiences
Trips is a new app to come into play. Designed by the Lonely Planet team and in collaboration with interface design consultancy MetaLab , its aim is to encourage image population and image content sharing. The app consists of the following functionality which makes this easy-to-use app a great addition to your social platforms:
- Image and video uploads
- Story telling
- Captions
- I-hearting
- Profile following
- Likes
- Discover tabs
- Create a trip
- Location tags
- Maps
- Simple mobile-friendly interfaces
According to the creators of Trips, the app is not meant to be in
Is Trips the new Instagram?
Sharing content brings all kinds of communities together in one
place, despite varying time zones, and with the aid of one app. App
Designers and product designers alike are all contending to promote
clean interfaces, simple navigation and user-centred products. But with a
shared focus on image and video sharing, can Trips be labelled the new
Instagram in these app-centric times?
Lonely Planet CEO Daniel Houghton, stated: "We understand what the modern traveller wants and have delivered an interactive digital platform that offers an effortless, mobile-first way to document, share and discover remarkable experiences."
The app is intended to help users to create their own written guides for each other and in turn, helps formulate an app-savvy, travel-hungry, creative and cultured community. Some might say, it's less of a social network creation but more of a beautifully curated visual story, showing the rest of the world our travels.
"We don't expect people to abandon other photo-sharing apps," said CEO Daniel Houghton. "We even built functionality in Trips so you can link back to your Instagram and show those photos. But this is a more in-depth product from a travel point of view. Instead of posting one photo or blowing up your Instagram feed with 10 in a row you can do a gallery or write your own magazine-style travel story. " (Endgaget)
There are a number of apps and services such as Medium, Google Photos, VSCO's Journal and more, that enable you to build similar projects, but none have the specific travel focus of Lonely Planet. That sense of community, is how Houghton envisions Trips standing out from the rest of the crowd. "If you do share your creations publicly, it all gets exposed to the rest of the community and hopefully encourages you to share more," Houghton said. "There's a lot to be said for being in a community of people specific to travel."

Nature throws a lot of obstacles in our way: poor weather, hordes of biting insects, high winds, unco-operative subjects and bad light are just a few examples that spring to mind. How can we turn these obstacles into opportunities? Ian Plant explains
Good photographers do not let hardships and obstacles drag them down. Instead, they look for ways to turn obstacles into artistic opportunities. This sentiment is not just some platitude which sounds lofty but is short on substance. If you are anything like me, you probably cannot stand it when someone admonishes you to do something grandly vague, such as "turn your weaknesses into strengths", without explaining in practical terms exactly how you go about doing so. Generally, I try to avoid giving advice which is meaningless and trite, so let me...

New Gas? No Thanks! We're Going with Clean Energy and Energy Efficiency.
Mothers Out Front Pioneer Valley is working with other organizations in the Valley to plan for a just transition to 100% renewable energy. We are working to:
1. Use less energy overall by increasing home and municipal energy efficiency and conservation. MOF in Amherst and Northampton helped to pass local resolutions for 100% Renewable Energy. We are part of a Valley-wide coalition that successfully stopped a plan by Columbia Gas for expanded infrastructure.
2. Convert our buildings from gas and oil heat to electric. In Northampton, we helped to lead a city campaign to convert home heating and cooling to highly efficient mini-splits. In Amherst, we passed a bylaw mandating Zero Energy new municipal buildings which means fossil fuels cannot heat or power new Town buildings.
3. Build local renewable energy sources. We helped launch an inter-municipal collaboration to localize and green our energy sources, create local jobs, and let our communities choose their energy future using an expanded model of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA 3.0). Members in Pelham on the Select Board and Energy Committee are overseeing expanded solar and resilience development.
4. Pass state legislation that will help move Massachusetts off of fossil fuels in the transportation and building sectors in a just transition to electrification and renewable heat. The priority bills are Rep Benson's Carbon Pricing bill, H.2810, The FUTURE Act, S.1940/H.2849, and two Environmental Justice bills, S.453/h.826 and S.464/H.761.

We helped to pass 100% Renewable resolutions in Amherst and Northampton. We also passed the Amherst New Municipal Building Zero Energy bylaw.
We fought the Northeast Direct Pipeline...and WON!
Gas Leaks Campaign
Over the spring and summer of 2016 we brought attention to the hundreds of gas leaks in our neighborhoods all over the Pioneer Valley.
At the Amherst Sustainability Fair in April, 2016 we debuted our map of Amherst with holes where the unrepaired gas leaks were. Children played at throwing corks through the holes to "plug the leaks" while parents talked with us about our work for a livable future for our kids.
We co-sponsored a June presentation by Ania Camargo of Mothers Out Front, Boston, about the dangers of gas leaking under the streets of every town and city. Below are the leaks from 2015. The Yellow tags mark unrepaired leaks.
We joined in The World We Love...
An Interdependence Day Pageant July 2, 2016 included parades, giant puppets, a play and singing.
Mothers out Front members were involved in all aspects of the spectacle. Then we and our allies led the crowd to tag gas leaks in all directions from downtown Northampton.
The Daily Hampshire Gazette carried a two page spread in the Calendar section the next week of photos of the event.
...and tagged gas leaks in Northampton!
We met with Amherst town officials (here with Stephanie Ciccarello, Sustainability Coordinator).
Countdown to Paris
The Climate talks in Paris started on November 30th, 2015. On Sunday, November 29th, Mothers Out Front, Pioneer Valley, co-sponsored family-friendly local gatherings with Climate Action Now and faith communities. We shared our commitment to a clean, healthy future for the next 7 generations.
Fighting Northeast Direct Pipeline
On Thursday, June 11th, 2015 we were in Greenfield for a hearing with the MA Department of Public Utilities. Four Mothers Out Front leaders testified about why new pipelines are not in the public's interest. We told the Baker administration we want renewable, diverse sources of energy for our children's future. The entire 4 hour hearing is here. Below you can see the full house of 700 people and our own Alisa P. chatting with one of the union guys who came to support the pipeline because Kinder Morgan employs their union.
On February 23rd, 2015, we launched our 40 week "Count Down to Paris" - Monday Actions
On January 23rd, 2015, Pioneer Valley Mothers Out Front was featured in an article on our Switch Campaign in the Daily Hampshire Gazette. Check it out here.
The Amherst team began!
We gathered with our families and switched to clean energy.

Thinking about throwing that unwanted or expired medicine down the drain or in the garbage? Well, think again.
The Clinton County Department of Waste Management has teamed up with local law enforcement agencies and other area organizations since 2008 to host medication collection events that promote the proper disposal of pharmaceutical drugs.
Kate Neese, the recycling & waste management coordinator for Clinton County Department of Waste Management, helps organize the events and bring awareness to the issue.
"Other than rendering the medication useless at home, these events are really the only option. They can be landfilled but we discourage it because it can end up in the water since there's no treatment." said Neese. "If it comes to one of our events it gets incinerated."
According to a study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, 80 percent of the streams sampled contained compounds found in medication. This water contamination ends up in our drinking water since standard treatments do not remove all pharmaceuticals.
Overall, Neese has seen the volume of medication at the collection events increase over the years.
"It's great but we also see how wasteful the pharmaceutical companies are, especially when you have a program that will send you three months of a prescription and you only need two weeks of it because it doesn't work," she said. "People come in with all of these meds that somebody paid for somewhere but nobody wants to take back."
The events are coordinated between the department of waste management, the multiple locations, volunteer pharmacists, and local police officers. Waste management takes the uncontrolled substances, while the pharmacist determines which medication is controlled and is then put into possession of the police.
Thomas Decker of the Bath Township Police Department is the officer that attends the collection events at the Bath Senior Center.
"Most people that bring in medications are seniors or their children," said Decker. "It's a very cool event, a lot of people stick around for quite a while other than just dropping off medication and eat, drink coffee, and talk. It's a nice little event."
The next collection event will be held at the Bath Township Senior Center on Saturday, March 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

When it was first introduced, the "right to buy" was meant to offer long-standing council house tenants the chance to own their property. And many have hailed the scheme as a success, arguing that it engendered respect for the houses and gave people much-needed security.
However, it has also had downsides. The principal issue is that new council housing has not been built in sufficient numbers to replace the properties being bought by tenants—and sometimes the right to buy has created mini-fiefdoms, where unscrupulous landlords take control of several properties and push up rents. Many argue that alongside regular housing, more council housing should also be built.
There are several reasons why many councils have failed to keep pace with council housing sales. Part of the issue is that councils do not receive the money when a council house is sold. Additionally, it is only this year that the government announced a relaxing of the rules around councils borrowing to pay for more council housing construction. Cllr Simon Miller of Waltham Forest Council has argued for more of the sales revenue to go to councils:
"The right to buy scheme has undoubtedly reduced the amount of social housing in Waltham Forest and across the UK which is why we have been lobbying government to try and keep more of the receipts from sales so we can replace the homes we lose."
However, even if councils receive more money, they will face the same issues the entire construction industry faces—particularly in London. The price of land in the capital will make innovative design a priority for a new breed of council housing.
Council housing needs to be made on a budget, because they're designed for people who can't afford flats that cost a million pounds. Yet some architects in Hackney have worked this into the design. Their model for new council housing involves using premium flats to subsidise so-called "affordable" housing or even new council flats. This also includes opportunities for residents to buy shares in a flat, renting it at the same time as owning a piece of it. Part of the attraction of this idea is that existing council housing, or buildings that are no longer fit for purpose, can be upgraded and refurbished as well using the same financial scheme.
Despite the pluses, there is one small caveat, as Rowan Moore explains for the Guardian:
"The Colville estate is an unquestionably better place than it was before. Together with the work of other London boroughs, and taking into account the raised standards of current building regulations, this is some of the best council housing ever built. There's a reason why such projects are mostly in London: they are made possible by the high property values of the capital, which enable councils to cross-subsidise social housing by selling homes on the open market."
There's no doubt that London has the greatest demand for new council housing, but it's an issue all over the country, and no less pressing for those in need of it.

African-American women can be at risk of heart disease even if they don't have metabolic syndrome, a study finds.
That's a problem, because the current thinking is that metabolic syndrome — defined as high triglycerides, bad cholesterol, abdominal fat, high blood pressure and impaired glucose metabolism — is the big risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. read more >>

I don't know about you, but I LOVE cinnamon toast. It reminds me of my childhood and I love to make it for my own kids. A cinnamon toast buffet, with different types of sugar mixes, would be a great brunch or breakfast idea. And I can't think of a better time than New Year's Day to try it out!
I have a great spice shop near my house where you can find all kinds of fun ingredients. I've been addicted to their spiced sugar, with allspice mace and cardamom, for years so I knew that had to be one of the options for cinnamon toast. I also picked up some Mexican cocoa, which I mixed with some sugar, and finally mixed some dried lavender and honey powder with sugar. Sounds good, right? Since I can't keep my air plants alive (yup, I even kill succulents), I decided to use my glass terrarium ball things to hold the sugars. Regular bowls are totally passe. Toast some delicious bread, like a yummy Sheepherder's sourdough, set out a stick of butter, and let your guests put their own cinnamon toast together to their liking. I put a little bit of the dried lavender on the plate with the butter which is what those little dark spots are on the bread I'm buttering. I didn't want anyone to be weirded out. Just sprinkle on your sugar of choice. Then look at your toast lovingly…Then go find a nice quiet place to eat it by yourself. Because you know you're going to shove it in your face. There really isn't a recipe. Mix the sugar mixtures to taste! A cinnamon toast buffet would be perfect for holiday house guests but your kids will go crazy for it too!

Lakers enrollment increases for fourth straight year
PIGEON — For the fourth consecutive year, enrollment is up in the Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port school district.
Superintendent Brian Keim presented the fall count numbers to the Board of Education on Monday night, stating that the count was at 921, which was nine students over the budget projection of 912.
There were 409 students in the elementary and 512 in the secondary school.
"We're happy to report that for the fourth consecutive year, we've seen a small increase in our student enrollment," Keim said. "Last fall, we counted 917, this fall we counted 921 and that is without some additional students that we have brought in from Cross Lutheran in a shared-time arrangement."
"School of choice has been very good to us," Keim added. "Again, it continues to provide over 20 percent of our total enrollment. We're beginning to keep our own students too, which is exciting."
The shared-time arrangement that Keim mentioned allows public schools to collect state funding for non-public students through shared staff arrangements.
Talks began with Cross Lutheran School, located in Pigeon, about the shared-time partnership in August, and was affirmed by the board Monday night after consulting with districts that have experience in shared-time partnerships.
All classes will be taught by Cross Lutheran teachers at Cross Lutheran School, with partial teacher compensation, fiscal and pupil accounting provided by Lakers.
"Basically, we're working as a fiscal agent for the Cross teachers," Keim said. "We pay a portion, a very small portion of their salary and then Cross pays the balance. Their teachers don't come to our building, our teachers don't go to their building, it's business as usual on both sides. We just act as the fiscal agent, run their students through our system and give back some of those proceeds to the teachers."
According to Keim, the agreement is mutually beneficial, and the district will continue to look at other similar opportunities.
"In terms of raw numbers, this year benefitted both of our sides about $20,000 a piece," Keim said. "Not insignificant at all. It's not earth shaking, but it's not insignificant either."
"While that kind of program lasts at the state level, I think it's going to be good for us and something we will continue to explore due to a couple of other potential opportunities to increase that shared time count with some other parochial partners," Keim added.
The partnership will bring an additional 24 Cross Lutheran students under the Laker student count, which would put them at 945 students.
"It's an arrangement that may or may not last," Keim said. "Right now, those who are enrolled in a part-time partnership, they really like it. We can help our parochials, they can help us, so it's a nice little partnership."
In other business, the board:
• Presented the Anchored in Excellence award to Agnes Kosinski, Angie Dubs, Lauren Armbruster, Susan Dubs and Tracie Schuette for their volunteer work with Anchored in Hope, which does fundraising for Relay for Life, and raises awareness about cancer.
• Approved the winter coaching staff, which included Justin Dubs as the varsity girls basketball coach, Eric Wissner as the varsity boys basketball coach and Steve McIntosh and Brett Metzger as co-coaches of varsity wrestling team, should they field a team this year.
• Approved the auditor's report from Nietzke and Faupel.
• Approved the Strategic Goals for the 2018-19 school year.
The board is scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. Nov. 19 inside Room 205 in the high school.

AceShowbiz - Kanye West has hit the recording studio with hip-hop super producer Dr. Dre for the follow-up to his Christian rap album "Jesus Is King".
The "Power" hit-maker shared his religious offering with fans in late October, and he is already back at work on new material - this time recruiting N.W.A and legend Dre for his next project.
Kanye shared a photo of the pair on Twitter and captioned it, "Ye and Dre Jesus is King Part II coming soon".
The same image was also posted to Dre's Instagram page, along with the same wording.
The news emerges a day after Kanye addressed U.S. televangelist Joel Osteen's massive congregation at his Lakewood Church in Texas on Sunday, November 17, and revealed he wants to release new songs "every month".
He also recently teased another gospel album, called "Jesus Is Born", during an interview with DJ Zane Lowe, explaining he wanted to drop the tracks on Christmas Day, December 25.
Meanwhile, Kanye is laying down more roots in Wyoming after snapping up a sprawling new ranch for $14.5 million (£11.2 million).
The hip-hop superstar relocated to a remote part of the state while recording his 2018 album, "Ye", and fell in love with the great outdoors so much, he and his wife, Kim Kardashian, bought a $14 million (£10.8 million) estate near Cody, called Monster Lake Ranch.
Now Kanye has reportedly expanded his property portfolio in the region by becoming the new owner of another spacious home, known as Bighorn Mountain Ranch.
According to TMZ, the compound features mountains, canyons, and rolling hills, and boasts two helicopter pads and a number of log cabins located on the grounds, including some with walk-in saunas.
The news of the "Jesus Walks" hit-maker's latest purchase emerges after Kanye was revealed to be planning the construction of a massive amphitheatre at Monster Lake Ranch.
He recently filed documents with local authorities outlining his vision for the new build, which he is calling the "West Meditation Space Large Impact Structure". He wants the facility to be a round, open-air, concrete design with the ground sloping downhill towards the centre of the circle.
Planning permission has yet to be granted.

If you just paid your business taxes, you might wonder which states are the most tax-friendly to small business (i.e., where you could get a better break). Think tank The Tax Foundation has released its annual assessment of the best (and worst) states for small business when it comes to taxes.
The Tax Foundation's 2013 State Business Tax Climate Index ranked the states using 118 different measures of tax-friendliness. Overall, the survey says the states with the best climates for small business typically generally lower personal and corporate income tax rates, as well as simpler tax codes.
The 10 best states in this year's Index are:
- Wyoming
- South Dakota
- Nevada
- Alaska
- Florida
- Washington
- New Hampshire
- Montana
- Texas
- Utah
The absence of a major tax is a dominant reason many of these states ranked so highly, the Foundation says. Property taxes and unemployment insurance taxes are levied in every state, but several states do without one or more of the major taxes: the corporate tax, the individual income tax, or the sales tax. Wyoming, Nevada, and South Dakota have no corporate or individual income tax; Alaska has no individual income or state-level sales tax; Florida has no individual income tax; and New Hampshire and Montana have no sales tax.
The 10 lowest ranked, or worst, states in this year's Index are:
- Maryland
- Iowa
- Wisconsin
- North Carolina
- Minnesota
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
- California
- New Jersey
- New York
Despite moderate corporate taxes, New York scores at the bottom this year by having the worst individual income tax, the sixth-worst unemployment insurance taxes, and the sixth-worst property taxes. The states in the bottom 10 all suffer from the same afflictions: complex, non-neutral taxes with comparatively high rates.

The event arouses great interest. 140 persons had registered in writing. But of course also unannounced interested parties, e.g. students on their way to or from the Mensa, were not rejected. Both days were very busy, there were many interesting lectures, system presentations and demonstrations inside and outside the conference building.

Here are some impressions from the event:

President Donald Trump on Thursday moved to reimpose 10% tariffs on some Canadian aluminum products to protect U.S. industry from a "surge" in imports, angering Ottawa and some U.S. business groups.

Canada pledged retaliation as tensions heightened between the close allies just weeks after a new continental trade deal between the United States, Mexico and Canada came into effect.
During a speech at a Whirlpool Corp washing machine factory in Ohio to tout his "America First" trade agenda, Trump said he signed a proclamation reimposing the "Section 232" national security tariffs. The step was "absolutely necessary to defend our aluminum industry," he said.
Ohio is a critical swing state that Trump won in 2016. Polling shows a tight race with Democrat Joe Biden in the state ahead of this year's Nov. 3 presidential election.
Trump trails the former vice president in national polls and is competing with him for blue-collar working class voters. The tariff announcement could be aimed at showing those voters he intends to fight for their jobs and upend trade policy further if he remains in office.
But some prominent business groups criticized the move as counterproductive and unhelpful to U.S. interests.
The U.S. Trade Representative's office said the 10% tariffs apply to raw, un-alloyed aluminum produced at smelters. The tariffs do not apply to downstream aluminum products.
"Several months ago, my administration agreed to lift those tariffs in return for a promise from the Canadian government that its aluminum industry would not flood our country with exports and kill all our aluminum jobs, which is exactly what they've done," Trump said. "Canadian aluminum producers have broken their commitment."
Canada has a natural advantage in primary aluminum production because of its ample supply of hydroelectric power.
Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said the tariffs would hurt workers and regional economies already hit by the coronavirus pandemic and pledged Ottawa would retaliate as it had done in 2018, when Trump first imposed punitive measures on Canadian steel and aluminum.
"In response to the American tariffs, Canada intends to swiftly impose dollar-for-dollar countermeasures," Freeland said in a statement.
Freeland – in overall charge of relations with the United States – will formally respond to the tariffs at 11 am (1500 GMT) on Friday, her office said in a statement.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce criticises Trump move
Rio Tinto, Canada's largest aluminum producer, said the tariffs are "unfortunate" as they only increase prices for U.S. consumers and undermine market confidence in secure supplies of aluminum in North America.
"We are working with our U.S. customers to minimize any negative impacts to the integrated supply of aluminium in North America,"Read More – Source

365 Day Blog Post Challenge 2019
Day 9
7. What thoughts come to you as you're procrastinating?
Procrastinate? Me? Never! Well, okay, maybe that's not entirely true.
I would say the times I have the biggest procrastinating issues are at work. There are often tasks that I either don't want to do or worse, that I don't really understand how to do. When I don't understand something, I'm not one of those people that thrives off of doing the investigation to figure it out. Instead, I tend to just put off doing it for as long as possible. 90% of the time it ends up being way less difficult then I built it up in my head to be, but non-the-less, I will still procrastinate until I absolutely have no other options but to work on it.
Besides work, there are times in my everyday life when I procrastinate simply because I'm tired and just don't feel I have the energy to accomplish anything. I think I'm harder on myself with this type of procrastination because there is always so much to be done that I should always be trying to check things off my "to do" list.
I'm one that always has grand intentions. I am constantly making lists of things I need to do or want to do. I have lists in my purse, lists laying around the house, lists at work. I have lists of errands that need to be run, lists of projects I want/need to work on, grocery lists, food plan lists, budget lists, travel plan lists… you name it, I have a list for it. Which in all honesty can be a little overwhelming sometimes (I know that sounds silly since I am the one doing this to myself by creating all of these lists). I will say that I am usually pretty good at working on things that need to be done, but there are those time when I just don't want to adult. There are those days when I just want to sit and veg out in front of the TV. These are the times that the guilt of procrastination bug me the most. When I'm sitting trying to slow my mind and relax, all I can do is think of everything on all of those lists that I should be working on. So procrastination merely builds stress about what I am not doing that I should be doing. Hence the reason I don't often procrastinate and the reason why I am always jumping up and doing one thing or another at all times. It drives my husband crazy that I can never just sit and make it through a TV show or a movie because I am getting up every 15 minutes doing something. This is a little OCD, but that's pretty much my personality. My brain never really stops thinking of everything around me, so even when we are sitting trying to relax, my brain is going over everything that needs to be done. Instead of procrastinating, I feel better if I just jump up and do it. This even happens to me early in the mornings on the weekends. I wake up at 3:30am on work days, so my body is just accustomed to being up before the sun. So even on the weekends, I end up waking up very early. I try so hard to just lay there and make myself go back to sleep. After about 30 minutes of laying there, I just get to anxious and need to get up and start doing things.
The best reason for not procrastinating? It's the thrill of crossing things off the "to do" list. The thrill is real!

There is a sheriff in Midland County, Texas, who claims that ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) personnel are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in order to infiltrate into the United States. He further clams that ISIS has already set up a headquarters in Juarez, Mexico, as a prelude to prepare an attack against this country. His evidence? He said that he has found copies of the Muslim holy book, the Qur'an, on the U.S.-Mexico border. Hmmmm. I would hope that the evidence is way, way better than this. Finding the holy book of Islam, if that is what this sheriff has found, cannot substantiate who might have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. It could have been anyone. It could have been Syrian refugees,; it could have been Uyghurs from China (they are just as desperate trying to get out of China as Syrians are trying to get out of Syria); it could have been Mexican Muslims. Yes, Mexican Muslims do exist, and like in the United States, Islam is making an impact in Mexico.
But of course Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter insists that this is an "ISIS" imprint, and that they are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to attack the United States. Despite this claim, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Border Patrol have not found any specific information that ISIS is operating in Mexico, nor is it crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The U.S. Border Patrol has certainly not picked up anyone that matches any description of ISIS personnel. While there is a lot of hysteria out there about a possible attack by ISIS against the United States, all U.S. surveillance agencies have found no such evidence along the U.S.-Mexico border that such operations are taking place or that it is likely to happen. And we have to keep in mind that the U.S. government is looking for any and all evidence and intelligence reports that ISIS might try and attack the United States.
It seems that hysteria can get the better of many people—even those in law enforcement. Besides, infiltrating into the United States by way of Mexico can be rather hazardous. If anyone wants to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, they are not likely to do so near any major city as those areas are well guarded. Crossing into the mountains and deserts is a very, very hazardous affair. Many Mexicans, not to mention anyone else trying to go through these areas, face hostile terrain with temperatures of extreme heat in the triple digits, wild animals that can tear a person apart, bandits, and open terrain where a person can easily be spotted from the air by helicopter. In order for infiltration to be successful, an organization, any organization, must get their personnel through as successfully as possible. The odds would go against anyone trying to cross through the U.S.-Mexico border. And the U.S. government has greatly increased the size and resources of the U.S. Border Patrol to look for any pattern of any activity along the border. The most obvious activities are those of the Mexican cartels, who continually play a cat-and-mouse game with U.S. authorities. But I guess hysteria knows no boundaries.

There are a lot of safety tips that you should keep in mind for your dog this summer in Selden. By knowing more about how to care for your dog, he will be happier and healthier.
You need to know the signs of dehydration and overheating. This will help you to call your dog off quickly and potentially save his life. Access panting is a sure sign that your dog is overheating. Bring him into the shade and give him plenty of water. Body temperatures of about 103.5°F is also a time for concern. Dry gums are another sign, and you can lift up their lips in order to see if they are slimy or dry.
Remember to cover dog's paws when you are walking them outside on the concrete. Even after the sun has set, the heat of the sun has been absorbed into the pavement and it can be extremely hot. There are booties and paw protectors that can be purchased at the pet store so that you can offer protection to your dog.
Know how to cool your dog down. Use a wet beach towel to drape over your dog, cool down the feet by running cold water on the pads, and offer them water. Talk to your vet about other ways based upon the breed that you have.
Keep your dog hydrated using every method possible. Always keep cold water in the house for them, bring bottled water whenever you go outside, and mix wet food into the dry food to offer additional hydration as well.
