AOSTA, Italy (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI waved reassuringly to well-wishers outside a hospital Friday where he underwent surgery to set a fractured right wrist he suffered by falling in his Alpine vacation chalet.
The 82-year-old pope's overnight accident was the first significant medical issue of his 4-year-old papacy, but doctors said he would suffer no long-term effects and would be able to return to playing piano and writing once the wrist heals. His cast will be removed in a month.
The pontiff's first public appearance of his mountain holiday is scheduled for Sunday in Ivrea, the hometown of his No. 2, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, where he is to deliver his traditional Sunday blessing.
"We hope that his remaining schedule can be preserved," Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told Vatican Radio.
Despite the accident, the right-handed pope celebrated Mass and had breakfast before going to the hospital, according to a Vatican statement.
Details of the fall were not given, but Dr. Pierluigi Berti, director of the Umberto Parini hospital, where the pope was treated, said it was accidental and not the result of any health condition.
After an X-ray showed the fracture, surgeons performed a successful, 20-minute operation under local anesthesia to treat the fracture to the right wrist, Berti said. The procedure realigns the broken bone fragments.
The German-born pontiff left the hospital about six hours after arriving, smiling and waving with his left arm before climbing into his car. His right arm hung straight by his side, the cast hidden by his white vestments. Once, he pointed to the cast, as if to explain why he wasn't waving with his right hand.
He returned to his mountain retreat in full police escort to continue his vacation in Les Combes in the Val d'Aosta region near the French border, where he is scheduled to stay until July 29.
Dr. Amedeo Mancini, the orthopedic surgeon who performed Friday's operation, said the pope would suffer no long-term effects from the fracture and was expected to fully recover.
"It was a special patient for a routine operation," Mancini said, adding that Benedict was an excellent patient.
The pope was accompanied by his personal physician, Dr. Patrizio Polisca, who said in a statement that Benedict's general health was good.
Despite his age and a history of serious medical problems, Benedict has been remarkably healthy during his four-year pontificate, keeping to a busy schedule and traveling around the world.
In fact, until Friday's surgery, there have been no reported medical problems since he assumed the papacy in 2005.
The most serious issue in his medical record was a hemorrhagic stroke he acknowledged suffering in 1991 that temporarily affected his vision, as well as a fall that knocked him unconscious in 1992. Benedict has said he recovered without permanent damage from either incident.
Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said Benedict had slipped in his room at the chalet and was hurt, but that it did not seem serious.
As if to underline the seemingly minor nature of the fall, the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano reported it under the page-one headline: "A little accident livens up Benedict XVI's vacation."
One pleasure that he is sure to be denied at least in the near term is playing the piano. The pope is a classical music lover and enjoys playing while on vacation.
With a cast, he also may find it difficult to write, sign documents or bless crowds. In addition, the pontiff had to take off his ring — the large gold Fisherman's ring that signifies his papal authority. The pontiff usually wears it on his right ring finger; as he left the hospital, the ring was visible on his left ring finger.
The ring, which features the figure of St. Peter casting his net from a fisherman's boat, is traditionally kissed by the faithful when they meet the pontiff in a sign of respect.
"We'll see in the next few days how he is able to carry out his functions," Lombardi said. "Surely some things will change" in terms of how he blesses crowds and celebrates Mass, he said.
Benedict, who turned 82 in April, told German media in 2006 that "I've never felt strong enough to plan many long trips."
Since then, however, he has traveled to Australia, the United States, Brazil and most recently to two sub-Saharan African countries among his 12 foreign pilgrimages. While looking tired at times, he has always bounced back.
Benedict has spent two summers at Les Combes in recent years. He said upon arrival that he expected to rest and work during his vacation.
His predecessor, Pope John Paul II, also spent several summers at Les Combes. While John Paul liked to hike, Benedict spends most of his time inside the chalet that looks out on Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps.
Among adults over 65, falls are the leading cause of deaths caused by injuries. The risk of falling increases significantly with age, as older people typically have more problems with eyesight, movement and balance.
Older people also are at increased risk of osteoporosis, a condition which weakens the bones and makes them easier to break — making falls more dangerous.
AP reporters Chiara Sottile and Victor Simpson in Rome contributed to this report.

Global Climate Strike
What happened?
On Friday, September 21, 2019, a few Watershed students, joined by 6.7 million other individuals worldwide, skipped school to participate in the global climate strike. Some made their way to the Norlin Quadrangle on the CU Boulder campus where, despite on campus regulations that established a noise limit and group boundaries, they joined other students and citizens of Boulder in protest while listening to a variety of speakers. Others engaged in a protest outside of the Starbucks on the corner of Pearl and 28th demanding that the company takes steps toward zero waste. A few other Watershed students chose to cram onto packed buses to Denver. There, they joined kids and adults alike as they marched from Union Station to the steps of the capitol building where multiple hours of presentations were held. The presentations included speakers and performers of native American descent as well as many youth speakers ranging in age from 8 to 18.
Who organized it?
The strike was spearheaded by a 16-year-old Swedish schoolgirl named Greta Thunberg. In 2018, Greta skipped school every Friday to stand outside the parliament building in Sweden demanding change in climate policy. She has since grown in popularity, making her way to the US via a zero-emission boat, and being featured on many media platforms.
What was the goal?
One of the biggest topics at the march was the Green New Deal. In Denver, call and response chants cascaded through the crowd of people.
"What do we want?"
"The Green New Deal!"
"When do we want it?"
The Green New Deal is a fourteen-page resolution released by Massachusetts Senator Edward Markey and New York's district 14 representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in February of 2019. The deal proposes the goal of meeting 100% of the United States' power demand through renewable sources within 10 years. The deal also plans to upgrade infrastructure (buildings, transportation systems, etc.) to have as little greenhouse emissions as is "technologically feasible."
Another chant that was common during the march was, "this is what democracy looks like!" This highlights one of the biggest goals of the strike: to bring awareness to the impact of climate change, and show the governments and people in power that it is a topic that the people--specifically youth--care about.
The strike was strategically timed to be three days before the UN climate action summit where leaders of the UN met in New York to discuss progress (or lack thereof) regarding climate action plans. These plans would ideally be on track with the agreed-upon goal of "reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent over the next decade, and to net zero emissions by 2050." Realizing that estimates show that the world is not on track to meet these goals or goals established in the 2019 Paris Agreement, participants of the strike used the power of democracy to hold the UN leaders accountable to their goals.
The goal set by the Paris Agreement is to maintain no more than a 1.5℃ increase in global temperature levels from the pre-industrial averages recorded in 1880. Current estimates project that the total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide will reach 55 gigatons by 2030. This amount of greenhouse gas emissions would lead to temperatures that exceed the 1.5℃ limit. To attain this goal, emissions need to remain below 44 gigatons. To put these numbers into perspective, the world has to reduce its greenhouse emissions by 22 x 10^12 lbs in 10 years. That is 22,000,000,000,000 pounds of gas.
What was the outcome?
The UN Climate Action Summit resulted in new initiatives, including:
On the local level, the city of Boulder had an event at CU on Thursday, September 26 launching the Climate Mobilization Plan. The 11th and 12th grade expedition class attended this event. Although the plan appears to still be in the curation process, it is clear that companies and officials in Boulder are putting time into instigating action.
Where these goals and action plans with end up is unclear, however, the attendance and publicity of the September 21st climate strike cannot easily be ignored. Climate change is a topic that concerns many citizens of the world and steps are being taken to mitigate the global impact that humans continue to create.

Portfolio Showcase
Learning & Intellectual Disabilities Discussion
In the Learning & Intellectual Disabilities Online Module (opens new window), students were introduced to two very different invisible disabilities. Students had many opportunities to experience simulations of what it is like to have a learning disability as well as meet a vibrant young woman who is excelling in college because of her hard work and use of academic accommodations that support her learning disability. Students also got to meet a Mohawk College Alumni from the CICE program.
Students are asked to read / listen / watch at least one of the following (which can be found in the module):
- Matthew Williams: Special Olympics let me be myself – a champion
- John Lennon mocking disabled people causes a stir
- To the CNN writer who referred to Down Syndrome as a 'Disease'
- Dyslexic employee wins discrimination case against Starbucks
- VIDEO: Khan-do attitude makes him a Mohawk marvel
Students are then asked to answer the following discussion post, utilizing the resource(s) they reviewed above, the module information, class material and their own experiences to support their answers:
Unlike the other disability modules you have completed; Physical / Mobility / Communication, Blind / Low Vision, and Deaf / Hard of Hearing, this module focused on disabilities that were invisible – and yet ones with the greatest stigma and most misunderstood. Although very different diagnoses, both disabilities have a high number of co-occurring diagnosis with mental health, including anxiety and depression. How has exposure to these populations changed or altered your opinion of these invisible disabilities?
Students are required to submit their discussion to the discussion board, the discussion may be a response to a classmates post. The discussion post can be presented as a written, video or audio response. Although there is no word minimum or maximum, students are expected to present their view point in approximately 200-300 words.

Program expansion
1. Tell us what you would like to see.....
Thank you for taking the time to assist us in our program planning by completing this online survey.
As you may know, Kawartha North FHT has been fundraising for a number of years to operate our walk-in clinics in Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon. Whilst we receive funding from the Ministry of Health to provide primary health care services to our patients, we receive NO FUNDS to operate the walk-in clinics that serve our communities.
The funds raised in the communities have been used to pay our Nurse Practitioners and reception staff. Hiring staff comes with the added responsibility of requiring reserves to guarantee wages for at least a minimum amount of time. We are hoping to expand and we would like input from our donors, volunteers and clinic patients on some options for expansion.
The survey should take between 5-10 minutes to complete and all responses are completely anonymous.

Five minutes on the pitch
Posted: 21st September 2016
More than 40 Hampshire food and drink producers had the opportunity to 'court' several key local retail and hospitality buyers at a 'Date a Producer' event organised by local food group, Hampshire Fare.
The event was held in a box overlooking the pitch at Southampton Football Club and involved buyers from the club itself along with Southampton Airport and The Southern Co-operative. All three organisations have plans to incorporate food and drink from local producers into their offering or increase what they already offer.
Each producer had five minutes to present themselves and their product to the room of buyers. The timer then went off and it was all change with the next producer taking to the hot seat. The buyers were treated to tastings of pies, sausages, chocolates, gin, wine, watercress, coffee, cider, beer, bacon, biltong, chutneys, cheese and more.
Commercial Manager of Hampshire Fare, Tracy Nash explains more: "Hampshire Fare was the matchmaker on Friday introducing local producers to key buyers. In speed-dating style each supplier had five minutes to impress the buyers with their products. I am incredibly proud of our producers, they put a great deal of thought and effort into their pitches. We have a lot of top local food and drink being grown, reared and made in Hampshire and it is wonderful to see local businesses supporting this. Our first 'Date a Producer' event has been hugely successful and very well-received by all."
Geoff Green, director of hospitality, catering and events at Southampton FC was on the buying panel: "Southampton Football Club is at the heart of the community and as such wants to support local business where ever possible. Our executive chef is passionate about Hampshire produce and is looking to source seasonal produce throughout the season. We are also keen to ensure that no matter the size of the supplier, quality offerings will be used whether it's for one menu or a whole season."

First Day with our Education Specialist
Today was Gavin's first day with his Education Specialist. Her name is Suzanne and she came highly recommended. Suzanne came to our house for the therapy and worked for one full hour with him. He was responding to her techniques and generally seemed to enjoy the therapy.
I quietly folded laundry in the next room listening to the both of them work together and really hearing what it was she was teaching him so that I could mimic her technique and work with him here at home. Gavin really wants to read and is doing well. He is simply stumbling right now and has fallen behind his peers but we knew this was a possibility as his speech deficit impacts his ability to read and write.
As a mother it is hard to hear that your child is not where they are supposed to be with regards to his reading and writing. I have been worried about how he feels in school reading in front of his peers. I worry that he will become frustrated and give up altogether. I worry I can't help him with any of this. As I'm writing this I realize that this entire paragraph is about "I" and what I am feeling with regards to his reading. And while I get that this is in no way about me I can't help but talk all about me and what it is I'm feeling. I want my son to excel, to feel productive, to feel the same as the other kids in his class. Obviously, I'm the only one in need of therapy at this point!
While I lamented on how I was going to get through all of this I managed to spring into action and call on the right people and get the testing and assessments necessary to figure out where his actual deficits were with his reading. We pushed forward and got him the help he needs to succeed. That's what you do.
We all want for our children to succeed and feel successful in all that they do. I am thankful that we have been surrounded by a team of individuals that wants this for our child as well and points us in the direction we need to be to ensure his success.
Thankfully Gavin takes everything in stride and realizes that he needs help with reading. He gets that therapy is just part of his norm and ours. I expect to see him really make some strides and great leaps forward. I can't wait to share those happy hurdles with everyone!

With the HTC Bolt released recently, HTC is all set to launch yet another smartphone in its line the HTC 10 evo. The smartphone as rumored to be the international variant of HTC Bolt, the new HTC 10 evo is likely to have familiar specs like HTC Bolt which was a Sprint exclusive.
The company has sent out invitation for an event which will be held in Taiwan on November. The information about the press invitation was leaked by a Taiwanese tech website Yogi.
According to leak reports the new HTC 10 evo will come with a 5.5 inch QHD display. The phone will feature an octa-core 810 Snapdragon processor. With 3GB RAM inserted in the new smartphone, the HTC 10 evo will have two storage variants 32GB and 64GB, the 64GB version being a new addition to the new device as compared to the HTC Bolt which is equipped with 32GB variant only. The phone will also come with a micro SD card support. Powered by a 3200 mAh battery, the phone will come with a USB-C type charging port.
Like the HTC Bolt which had a water and dust resistant IP57 rating, the new HTC 10 evo might also carry the same feature of water resistance. In its camera segment the phone will be equipped with a 16MP rear camera and an 8MP front snapper.
However, the reports have not mentioned anything on the device price range. There was also no information available as to whether the new HTC 10 evo will have Android 7.0 Nougat packed inside its box like the HTC Bolt which had Android Nougat pre-installed in it.
According to Android Authority, apart from its launch in Asia the phone is reportedly set to arrive in Europe, Africa and the middle-east. The exact date of its arrival however, has not been notified yet.

Making mortise with good plunge router bits is the way to go but its hard to make repeative and accurate mortise with a router if you dont have an ajustable jig. So I made this jig out of some russian birch that I had laying around, and made couple upgrade lately at first I had toggle clamps holding the stock but I didnt like to reajust every time for different stock thicknesses so I put on those shop made clamps that a friend of mine gave me and as simple to make than to use. The only other upgrade I would make on it would where the fence of the router base is and replace it with a shaft and mount linear bearings but it works just fine! Its one of those jig that took me a long time before I took the time to make it but now im so glad I took the time to make it. cheers

The leader of the violently anti-Gentile Otzma Yehudit ("Jewish Power") party in Israel, Michael Ben-Ari, has been banned by the Israeli Supreme Court from standing as a candidate in the upcoming elections—but his party is still firmly on track to win seats in the Knesset in a formal alliance with Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.
The court decided this week by a vote of 8 to 1 in favor of an appeal by the Reform Movement in Israel, represented by the Israel Religious Action Center. That overturned a decision made by the Israel Central Elections Commission on March 12 to allow Ben-Ari to continue his campaign.
The appeal cited numerous examples of racism and racist incitement by Ben-Ari throughout his career.
Ben-Ari has said the remarks cited by the petition have been taken out of context. He condemned the decision by what he called the "legal junta … trying to control our lives."
Ben-Ari is in the fifth slot on the joint slate of the Union of Right-Wing parties, which gave him a realistic chance to join the Knesset. He served in the parliament from 2009 to 2012 as part of the National Union Party.
Ben-Ari's party joined with The Jewish Home and National Union parties to form the Union of Right-Wing Parties in a deal brokered in part by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The banning will have no effect on the Jewish Power party, and they were expecting the move, as another candidate, Baruch Marzel was already approved to take Ben-Ari's place on the party slate the weekend before the court decision.
Baruch Marzel is an Orthodox Jew from Boston, US, who was previously the leader of the Jewish National Front party (whose policies included preserving Israel as a Jewish state by increasing Jewish immigration, and preventing non-Jews from immigration by strictly applying the Halakha, or Jewish laws of biological ancestry). Marzel was also spokesman for the American rabbi's Mehir Kahane's Kach organization until it was outlawed.
Following the disqualification of Ben-Ari, the Jewish Power party published a list of demands from the Jewish Home and National Union parties which said that in addition to the position of minister for Marzel, and that another member, Itamar Ben-Gvir be promoted to fifth place on the joint Knesset list.
In addition, Otzma Yehudit seeks to ensure that Ben-Gvir will chair the Knesset Constitution Committee, regardless of whether Otzma Yehudit is part of the coalition or part of the opposition, and will even be a member of the Judicial Selection Committee.
"In the situation that has been created, about 100,000 Otzma voters feel bitter and hurt, and it is clear that if no suitable solution is given, Otzma voters will find it difficult to come to the polls, which will endanger the right-wing bloc," the party warned, in effect threatening Netanyahu's hold on power.
Israel has a proportional representation electoral system with a threshold of 3.25 percent—which means that any party with that percentage of the total vote has seats in the Knesset, a situation which prevents any single party from ever obtaining a governing majority. All governments in the Jewish state are therefore made up of coalitions.
Sources in Otzma Yehudit said that "the demands that were made tonight are legitimate and basic demands and, in light of the unfortunate decision of the Supreme Court, it is only natural to allow a minister from Otzma and for Attorney Ben-Gvir to act in the field of law and bring about a real change that unfortunately did not occur during Ayelet Shaked's time in office."
At the same time, the Israeli Supreme Court also reversed a decision to bar an Arab candidate from the elections, overturning an earlier decision based on an accusation that he supported terrorism.
The court approved the candidacy of Raam-Balad, an alliance of Arab nationalists and Islamists, a political group which is vocally opposed to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.
The Arab population of Israel stands at around 21 percent of the total, and is made up of the remnant of the Palestinian population which the Jewish state's founders were unable to drive out of Palestine completely in 1948. 82 percent are Muslim, 9 percent are Christian, and 9 percent are Druze. It has long been claimed that the Arab population would eventually outbreed the Jews in Israel, but so far these predictions have been inaccurate. Palestinian birth rates are consistently below that of the Jews, whose large and growing orthodox and ultra-orthodox element provides most of Israel's population growth.
A 2010 study showed that Jewish birthrates rose by 31 percent, and another 19,000 diaspora Jews immigrated to Israel, while the Arab birthrate fell by two percent.

The Integrated Check Post, Cargo Terminal for the facilitating Indo-Pak trade and strengthening the cordial relations between two countries, started on 09.04.2012 and formally inaugurated on the day of Vaishakhi Festival by Hon'ble Home Minister.The whole ICP is spread over a land of 120 Acres near the historical Attari-Wagha Border. The Central Warehousing Corporation (A Govt. of India Undertaking) under the ministry of Food, Consumer Affairs and Public distribution, was nominated as the custodian of the cargo terminal by the LPAI, Ministry of Home Affairs and appointed by Commissioner of Customs to handle the import and export cargo at Land Custom Station, ICP Attari, Amritsar.Total area under cargo terminal:
Area Covered
Total Area of ICP
120 Acres
Cargo Terminal Building
4536 Sq. Mts.
Import Warehouses (2 Nos)
7400 Sq. Mts.
Export Warehouse
3400 Sq. Mts.
Cold Chambers (5 Nos.)
610 Sq. Mts.
Area for loose Cargo
40000 Sq. Mts. (approx.)
Paved Parking Area
55000 Sq. Mts.
Holding Area
38000 Sq. Mts (approx.)
Weigh Bridges (2 Nos)
100 MT Capacity (each)
Facilities introduced:
We have started our operations w.e.f. 09.04.2012. There are two Lorry Weighbridges, one for the Pak trucks weighment and another for the export and import laden Indian trucks, three godowns for import and export cargo offloading, custom examination and loading. We started the operations here with the manual records and slowly switch over to the electronic data entry connected internally by the wireless networking at each operating point in godowns and weighbridges. The electronic data entry boosted by the wireless networking has accelerated our transactions and reduced the dwell time to the least extent possible. We have also mechanised the different operations like loading of loose cargo, loading and unloading of Float Glass, liquid cargo etc. to complete these operations in no time and hence improved the turnover of the export and import cargo with many folds. Initially the pressure was on import as per the demand of the season and we have put all our best efforts to smoothen and fasten the transaction in order to handle more and more import commodities/cargo. For ex. for ending the possibilities of refusing the import trucks due to scarcity of the space in the import godowns we have started to store the Commodities like dry dates etc. in the open with the help of crates and polythene covers so that the valuable commodities can be saved from the adversities of climate and side by side the trade relations of both the countries may get strength by nullifying the possibilities of refusal of import.In the later stage when the season of export was/is on full swing and export trucks waiting outside the ICP started to become a problem for the traders and transporters we have started to use the holding area for the export truck parking where we have space for the parking of at least 400 trucks. Even after attempting this step the waiting line outside ICP showed very less improvement then we shifted the loose cargo like gypsum in the area near by zero line originally designated for the loose materials and had created the space for at least 200 trucks for parking. Hence we have tried achieved the optimum utilization of the space offered by ICP for cargo handling in the best interest of the international trade.

It's still Friday here! This, friends, is perhaps the greatest French car ever made by France.
*Cue dramatic French, uh, accordion music
I present to you, in all its Gallic glory, the Peugeot 504. See how cool it looks? You can just feel that it's casually leaning against a wall, Gauloises dangling from its pouty, indifferent lips, stealing your girlfriend.
Beauty. Style. Grace. These are the words that come to mind when you think of such a machine as the 504 Coupe, which is related to this but looks completely different.
Elegance. Luxury. Presence. Words which one conjures upon witnessing the passage of a Citroen SM, which comes from the same country as this and probably has broken suspension.
Yes, this is the 504, and a highly coveted "GL" model at that, which we can safely assume stands for Gaul Levassor, after France and Emile Levassor, an very smart French person whose name you might recognize from Panhard et Levassor automobiles, and whom played an outsize role in the development of the automobile in the late 1800's. Indeed, this landmark machine is trimmed for greatness. You may be wondering, then, where the "504" part comes in... Well, back in 1968, not at all coincidentally the year this debuted, Ford came out with a 302 cubic inch version of their "Windsor" V8, which despite in fact being 4.9 liters sounds way better when called a "5.0". Well, due to the vagaries of the metric system, 4.9 came out to about 5.0, and that sounds super cool in French ("Le Fahv pau Oui", as they say) so then Peugeot's naming department ("L'departmoix d'nomenclature") just needed another number so they could have a zero in the middle and rob Porsche of some more model names. As this new world-beating project would have a 4-door, 4-cylinder version which had four wheels, the choice was obvious: this could only be the 504. Also the car it replaced was the 404, and this was one hundred better.
Ah, that design... so typically French, alluring, indescribably sexy. It has a certain... I don't know what. Avoirdupois? Perhaps. From the vaguely Austin Princess-like nose to the innovative bent down trunk, it's a design that shouts "medium French car!" like few others. As to that trunk, rumor has it the clay styling model was backed into a wall during transport to the final approval meeting, and the board, lacking the ingrained French sense of aesthetics and taking momentary leave of their senses, approved it as it was. It doesn't look half bad, from some angles. Rumored to have been secretly designed by Charles de Gaulle on an airport bar napkin with inspiration from the famous cave drawings of Lascaux, the 504 remains a masterclass in small sedan design, bettered only by everything BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz have ever done in that class. Certainly it could never have been designed by Pininfarina.
Where the 504 really shines, however, is in durability. Known colloquially as "Africa's workhorse", the 504 was built in no less than 14 countries from 1968 to 2006, including in territories of France's mortal enemy, Great Britain. Available with either 1.8 or 2.0L gas fours, three different inline four diesels, or the lusty and impeccably engineered 2.7L "PRV" V6 which never has any problems ever, the 504 was also available as a pickup, wagon (including a 4x4 wagon called the "Dangel" which makes Outbacks look silly), coupe, and convertible. It featured a torque tube driveline (though some versions got live rear axles), strong and simple construction, and long suspension travel, enabling it to suffer the worst roads on the planet such as those here in California without ill effect. Indeed, the only way to kill a 504 in such 3rd world conditions is to stop selling cars there in 1991 after replacing a beloved pair of nice rear wheel drive platforms with a front wheel drive sh**box that does nothing better than a K-car (except look "Euro") and then wondering why nobody buys your crap.
So that, in a nutshell, is the greatest car ever made. By France. In all seriousness, the 504 really is a remarkable car, I'm just having a bit of fun because A) Amurica!! B) there aren't any left here for me to buy or I'd have owned one by now, and C) Play some Skynyrd! Oh and 4) this week sucked so I needed some laughter. Hope you could share in it. This is a $4 pull-back 1/39ish Welly which I inexplicably found at Rite-Aid, and I obviously had to have it. Added stripes and yellow lights are my doing, plain white does it no justice. When i find a 504 rally coupe in 1/43 i'll do a proper story. Have a great weekend, LALD.

Progressive Rising Phoenix Press is an independent publisher founded by authors.
ELLICOTT CITY, MD, May 09, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If ever a book was predestined to be written by an individual, it was 50 HOURS by best-selling author Loree Lough. You will indeed find a piece of the author in between each page. Loree, healthy at the time she was commissioned to write the novel, was diagnosed with a similar terminal illness as her main character! The shocking diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma allowed her to write one of her most memorable novels to date. It is not by any means a depressing story that smacks of defeat or worse self-pity, but of all things is a story of redemption, peace, second chances, friendship, forgiveness and of course, LOVE!
The famous novelist Catherine Lanigan of Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile, and a multitude of other works, wrote, "This is the kind of book that wins Pulitzer prizes," the highest compliment for any literary fiction novel.
Loree, admittedly, found it challenging at times to write 50 HOURS and early on confessed to Kevin James O'Neill, the screenplay writer the novel is based upon and a movie producer, that she wasn't sure if she could handle the story or workload. However, for over a year and a half, through twice-daily chemo, plus a stem cell transplant, Loree could not get the characters out of her head and had the overwhelming desire to finish the novel. Wanting more than ever to show readers whose lives had been touched by this dreaded disease, cancer, that, "There's always plenty of reason to hope and have something to be thankful for," Loree forged ahead.
The realization that millions of others were facing the same prognosis as her self and her main character, Loree decided to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. For her, it was cathartic, and she hoped it would be for her readers—not just cancer patients and their families—too. Loree has always believed she was fairly tough; living by the "Never let 'em see ya sweat" and "Never let 'em see ya cry" codes, and continued to think that way as she poured her heart and soul into her novel through her characters Aubrey, Franco, and Dusty.
Aubrey is living with the constant knowledge that her life is slowly ebbing to an end, but she's determined to squeeze as much joy from every precious moment she has left. Still, she's lonely, exhausted, and no matter how hard she tries to hide it, terrified! Meeting Franco gives Aubrey a thread of hope to grasp onto, as she realizes that her long-held dream of painting autumn, in of all places Savannah, has come true with his help. Franco, burdened by the belief that he's partially responsible for the car wreck that killed his wife, turned him into a man who eked out his existence by merely putting one foot in front of the other because he doesn't know what else to do. After meeting Aubrey, whose zest for life is infectious, his 50 hours of community service tick by, as he finds himself drawn to her strength.
Loree found herself putting words into Aubrey's mouth, that she'd only ever said in the privacy of her own mind. Talking with her fellow patients proved she wasn't alone: A lot of cancer patients keep things to themselves. They do it to spare their loved ones, already worried and afraid of an uncertain future, who aren't entirely sure or know how to comfort their loved ones. Through Aubrey, Loree was able to tell them that she expected nothing, quite literally, except to be with them (her family and friends). It isn't easy watching someone you care about suffering the side effects of drugs and treatments. Loree, through Aubrey, showed friends and family that she appreciated their steadfastness. Aubrey's relationship with Franco and her mother helped her make that point.
Her research and interviews proved there are far too many "loved ones" like Aubrey's ex-husband; Michael who put on a good show of being the dutiful spouse…until the condition, like Aubrey's, deteriorated, taking the spotlight off him and putting it back on her. It's an ugly fact, but a fact nonetheless: The occasional loved one will leave. Through Aubrey, Loree hoped to show cancer patients and family members alike that they can survive even that!
Once upon a time, best-selling author Loree Lough (literally) sang for her supper, performing before packed audiences throughout the U.S. Now and then, she blows the dust from her 6-string to croon a tune or two for her grandchildren but mostly, she just writes full time. Over the years, her stories have earned nearly 100 industry and "Readers' Choice" awards, 7 movie options, and over eighty 4- and 5-star reviews. There are NEARLY seven million copies of Loree's books in circulation, and by year-end of 2018, she'll have 119 books (fiction and non-fiction for kids and adults) 72 short stories, 2,500+ articles in print. Loree shares her learned-the-hard-way lessons about the craft and the industry, and her comedic approach makes her a favorite (and frequent) guest of writers' organizations, book clubs, private and government institutions, college and high school writing programs both here and abroad. A writer who believes in "giving back," Loree dedicates a portion of her income to Soldiers' Angels, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and other worthwhile organizations. She splits her time between her home in the Baltimore suburbs and a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, and shares both with her real-life hero Larry, who rarely complains, even when she adds yet another item to her vast collection of lighthouses, wind chimes, and "wolf stuff."
Spreading the word about this book increases the opportunity for Kevin James O'Neill to take make it a feature film as intended. Royalties from 50 HOURS go toward Cancer Research. Specifically the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation: https://www.themmrf.org/
50 HOURS is available wherever books are sold including Amazon: http://amzn.to/2rYTG2E

Vikneswara, A. S. and Radin Mohamed, Radin Maya Saphira and Al-Gheethi, Adel Ali Saeed and Mohd Kassim, Amir Hashim and Othman, Norzila (2018) Removal of nutrients from meat processing wastewater through the phycoremediation process. In: Management of Greywater in Developing Countries. Springer International Publishing AG, pp. 245-263. ISBN 9783319902685Full text not available from this repository.
Wastewater from slaughterhouses and meat processing factories are normally assessed in terms of mass parameters due to the specific amounts of wastewater and pollutant load parallel to the animals slaughtered or processed that differ from the meat processing industry. Normally, this type of wastewater contains significant amounts of total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen (TN), total organic carbon (TOC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The present chapter aims to highlight the characteristics of meat processing wastewater and the effect of the direct disposal of these wastes on the environment. Moreover, the potential of the phycoremediation process using microalgae species to remove nutrients in terms of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) from the meat processing wastewater was reviewed. The role of a biokinetic study in determining the specific removal rate of nutrient by microalgae was also discussed.

Four short fables in which characters collide with fate - and each other - comprise THE AIR I BREATHE, an ambitious and absorbing drama from debuting director/writer Jieho Lee. Boasting a brilliant ensemble cast, the film is inspired by a Chinese proverb that breaks life down into four key emotions - Happiness, Sorrow, Pleasure, and Love - and each vignette is built around a character who embodies one of these key emotions.

If you are aged 65 years and over you will not be eligible for the NDIS. In most cases, you will receive support through the Commonwealth aged care system.
How can I find out if I am eligible for the NDIS?
A guide to the access requirements for the NDIS can be found at www.ndis.gov.au. You can also phone the NDIA directly on 1800 800 110 to ask about eligibility for the NDIS.
Who will decide if I can access the NDIS?
The NDIA determines eligibility for the NDIS. The NDIA is the national agency responsible for running the NDIS. Most people who receive NSW funded disability supports will go through a simplified eligibility process, based on the supports they currently receive now.
I don't currently receive any disability supports. Could I still be eligible for the NDIS?
If you do not currently receive NSW Government funded specialist disability supports, you will have the opportunity to access the scheme when it starts in your local area, if you are in immediate need of assistance, and do not currently have support. The NDIA will also ensure that there are Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) supports available within the community. These supports are also available to people who may not be eligible for a funded package.
I am currently receiving disability supports in New South Wales. What will happen if I don't meet the requirements for the NDIS?
No one will be disadvantaged in the move to the NDIS. People who had been receiving NSW funded specialist disability support, but are not eligible for the NDIS, will maintain the same outcomes they received before the NDIS through arrangements including Information Linkage and Capacity building supports.
How do I find out about the disability and early intervention requirements?
You can find information about the disability and early intervention requirements on the NDIA's website at www.ndis.gov.au

Emily Countryman
I started the program in the summer of 2011 when I had about 15 pounds of baby weight to lose. I finally lost it in just 4 short weeks! I had my 3rd baby in November 2012 and am proud to say I am still at my goal weight. Because of my success, we opened Ideal Wellness and have since opened multiple locations. We have helped thousands of clients lose tens of thousands of pounds and I am committed to helping others lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle. I believe we can end the obesity epidemic and am determined to make a better future for our children.
I have worked in the healthcare industry since 2003. I am a certified weight loss coach and a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and look forward to your success on your weight loss journey!

Mardi Bock
ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach
I am a Weight Watchers repeat offender. In 2011 I had bloodwork done and knew from those results, I had to make some major lifestyle changes. I tried the program, not knowing what to expect. I lost 75 pounds in 4.5 months and have never returned to that weight again.
I grew up in Eastern Washington. My husband and I moved to the Bellingham area in 2016 to be closer to our grown children and grandson. With my weight loss I discovered a new love for hiking, and moving to Whatcom County has opened a whole new world of awesome trails and views.
I am very excited to help you reach your goals on this journey to health and wellness!

I grew up in the PNW with all the beauty and outdoor activities available at your fingertips. I worked in the fishing industry for 12 years, and then moved to Orcas Island for 18 years. I was a bank manager for 16 years, as well as a Cardio Karate Instructor. My daughters convinced me to move to sunny San Diego where I worked in construction for 15 years, and enjoyed watching my grandkids grow up.
I am now happy to say that I am lucky to be working at Ideal Wellness with fantastic people. Not only are they helping me reach my weight goals, but I am able to help others feel better by doing Red Light Therapy.
There are so many benefits to RLT and the coaching you get here, everyone wants to see you reach your goals and continue through life healthy and happy. What a blessing finding Ideal Wellness. I'm excited to pass on what I know to others so they can be happy too!!!

Angie Parmely
Coaching Director and ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach
I began the program in January 2013, in hopes of losing the weight I had put on due to life, before my 30-year high school reunion that August. I lost 45 lbs and showed up to my reunion smaller and healthier than I was in high school! In the past, I had tried every diet and exercise program out there, and as my weight yo-yo'd, I learned a valuable lesson. DIET was a bad four-letter word! The ShiftSetGo program works because it is not a fad diet. It is an education for your personal life about how food, and our society's affliction to socially eat anything, affects your body. My cholesterol dropped 40 points into a healthy range and doctors lowered and removed many of the medications I had been taking. They were, simply, no longer needed! This was an eye-opener for me, and this valuable lesson has allowed me to continue my healthy balance for over 5 years!

"Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels!" This was my mantra during the program. This single line kept me on track during social engagements, as I did not need to speak the words, "I can't eat that, I'm on a diet." That empowered me to say no thank you, without questions. My coach would encourage me with it, and it pulled me through those low days when I wanted to give up. Today, I say it as a reminder of who I was versus who I am now, a strong healthy woman!
"If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!" (Fred DeVito). As a Coach for Ideal Wellness, it is my sole purpose to encourage you through all challenges, and help you find what will empower you to change your habits and lead a healthy lifestyle. Through education, I want to help you establish and meet your personal goals, provide support and encouragement, and be your biggest cheerleader. Who do you want to be?

My path has been one which has taken me from coast to coast with many stops in between. I am blessed to have received two amazing kids along the way who I've watched grow into fine young adults. They are the truest joy in my life. My life and career have always been helping people in whatever industry I find myself in. My heart is always bent to the service and aid of other people as they work to better their lives.

After many years of struggling with my weight and self-image, and trying various programs to become a healthy person at a good weight, I found Ideal Wellness. Together with the partnership of a friend who was pursuing her own weight loss journey I have lost 50lbs. This was the first program I found that I could commit to and as a result got incredible results. It gave me a freedom and confidence in my life that makes each day count in an amazing way. The team of coaches share a philosophy that is not only encouraging but creates a genuinely supportive and safe environment. Their coaching and support has given me my life back and added a quality to living that I have not experienced in years; essentially a new lease on life for me.
Currently, I am a ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach for Ideal Wellness. It is very rewarding to be a part of a team that encourages others with their personal care journey and I look forward to contributing to healthy personal goals for clients as well as myself!

In 1999, my husband and I and our two young daughters moved to Washington from Southern California. After settling in, we made the decision for me to stay home with our girls until they were both old enough to start school. During those years of being home, I became a really good cook, but I also was paying the price by gaining weight. I tried the various diets; South Beach, Atkins, even HCG. I would lose but then the weight crept back up.
Being a caretaker for my elderly father, I was stressed, and I put myself second to dad. Spaghetti became my favorite go-to comfort food. As his health was deteriorating, so was mine. In 2016 I found this program and dropped 25lbs effortlessly and I was able to drop my BP medications!

I am delighted to be able to help others achieve their goals through RLT, be it inch loss, pain relief, wound healing, or any of the many other benefits that can be achieved with this fantastic technology!

Corrina Bickle
Operations Director and ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach
A Snohomish County native, born and raised. Once I hit my 30's, my general health was steadily going downhill. I realized that I needed to do something about it and made a decision that changed not only the way I physically look and feel but also how I approach life. I found Ideal Wellness through a friend, and did my own research on the program. Ideal Wellness works!
I began the program in February of 2013, lost 70 pounds and learned how to successfully keep it off for good. I chose to become a coach because I believe in this program – not only how but why it works.
As someone who has "been there," I love being on the other side of the experience so that I can help you through it with experience, knowledge and encouragement!
Tammy Ramaley
ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach
I am so proud to be a part of the Ideal Wellness team in Smokey Point. I previously worked for two years coaching clients and discovered that I had a strong interest in helping people reach their weight loss goals. Being a coach at Ideal Wellness, I feel I've returned to a world that inspires me and makes me happy. And I am currently enjoying success on the program myself.
Born and raised in Hawaii, where rich foods play such an important cohesive role in family gatherings, I've struggled with weight my entire life and tried multiple fad diets along the way. Raising two active (now adult) children, volunteering in their schools, working full time with no time to make planned healthy meals, and constantly reminded of the culture of my upbringing through family in the Islands, I can relate to every situation and challenge that clients encounter during their busy lives. I've been there!

ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach
With over 25 years of experience in nursing and supporting the needs and goals of the health client, I have found my true passion in life as a Certified Holistic Health Coach from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition
When my daughter was 6 years old she was diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis, an autoimmune disorder that would change her outlook on self-love. Due to my daughter's diagnosis currently having no cure, it became paramount to me that nutrition is key to every individual's health.
My intention is to support and teach the reversal of these bad habits while creating healthier habits for life. I am proud to be part of Ideal Wellness as its program is NOT a fad diet, but a healthy lifestyle change through knowledge on nutrition. Knowledge is power and through power, we all have the ability to regain control of our lives!!

Chelsea Marie
Red Light Therapy Tech and Administrator
Oregon born, Washington raised. I moved to Washington when I was 7 and I have loved it ever since, the PNW is one of my favorite places to be. I love spending my time with my family outdoors camping, hiking, kayaking, but most of all the natural beauty all around us. I love to travel and learn about new cultures and experience other parts of the world.
I found this program in 2013, I was oblivious to how much weight I had gained over the years. The program taught me a lot about myself, how food affects me, habits, patterns, and so much more. I was able to overcome many of these things and have had amazing success on this program. I have coached health and wellness for the past 4 years. I have a passion for helping others create and live their best lives. I am grateful for this journey as I am able to teach my daughter the things I have learned and help her have a better understanding of their limiting beliefs and help them overcome their challenges to achieve their goals. Working at Ideal Wellness has been a dream of mine or the past 3 years, and I am so happy to finally be here, and help make a difference.
Roxanne Lewis
Redlight Therapy Director and Red Light Therapy Tech
My pursuit and dedication to the transformative powers of nutrition began in the fall of 2004 when we discovered my son had autism. Since that time, I have had the good fortune to witness and personally experience numerous life changing transformations.
In 2014 I became a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. During my time as a Health and Meditation Coach, I discovered LipoMelt. The more I learned about the amazing benefits of Red Light and Near Infrared Therapy had to offer, the more convinced I became that I just had to be a part of it.

ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach
I found Ideal Protein in the fall of 2013. My daughter got engaged and one of my first thoughts was how much I will hate the way I look in wedding photos. Though I had struggled with my weight for most of her life, I still never imagined myself heavy at my only daughter's wedding. My wake-up call wasn't health or medical issues – it was vanity. It was the reality of that milestone occasion that finally motivated me to change and I was scared. I had failed at every other diet attempt and I wasn't sure this would be any different.

The difference for me was meeting with a coach on a weekly basis, bringing accountability and encouragement. Not to mention the fact that this self-proclaimed sugar addict also had access to chocolate on a daily basis! I finally found success! I lost 75lbs in a little over 5 months and I wore a cute form fitting dress at my daughter's wedding! What I appreciate most about this program, 3 years later, is that the Ideal Protein model is always there to help me through the minor weight fluctuations throughout the year. I have never gone back to my original weight because I have implemented the plan and support I need. Be ready to change your life!

Jessica Iverson
ShiftSetGo Weight Loss Coach and Certified Health Coach
My journey to becoming a health coach began when I was working in the biomedical field and felt stuck, and unhappy with life. I knew that my life was meant to be exciting, and my career rewarding. So, I began seeking what was next for me. I've always had an interest in health and wellness, and a desire to help others. I knew there had to be a way to positively impact people's lives in the health industry that allowed me to be hands on and work directly with people.

Fast-forward a few years, and here I am! I discovered health coaching and obtained my certificate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Through my studies, I learned how my work/life balance was setting me up for chronic illness, and how much I wanted to be working directly in my community. I'm inspired to help others regain control of their lives to have energy to do what they love, as I am doing the same!
I've grown up in Kitsap and love it here! When I'm not working with Ideal Wellness, I'm building my personal coaching business, playing with my dog, riding my horses and enjoying time with my family and friends (if I'm lucky near or on a mountain).
I believe in living your best life possible and am here to give you the tools and resources to do so!
Lisa Chandler
Red Light Therapy Tech
My passion for health and good nutrition began when I was 16. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune illness. I still had hope that I would get better. Then my doctor told me that my illness would only get worse and soon I would be totally bed ridden. Devastated, I gave up and stayed in bed, day after day. I found comfort in desserts. Sugar certainly did not help my situation, but it helped me to stuff my emotions. Right then I knew I had two choices. I could continue down the path of self-sabotage and speed up my misery. Or I could fight and work to create a healthy lifestyle. I chose to fight. Giving up was only making my emotional and physical health worse.
Read More
I started telling myself, "You can do this!", instead of my usual negative self-talk. It was difficult at first, but I would visualize myself living the life I truly wanted. I got a job at a health food store and I read every book I could. Through my new knowledge, the support of my friends/family, supplements, and good nutrition, I conquered my illness.
I am now a certified Health and Life Coach. I am excited to be working at Ideal Wellness and love coming to work every day. I can't wait to support clients in finding the fighter inside of them and creating the healthy lifestyle they have always wanted.

One of the true signs of aging is decreased hormones. Treating decreased hormones in women is important because these hormones are necessary for balance in mood and physical health. Hormone replacement therapy is available to replace the hormones that are not being produced by the body. HRT can improve muscle tone, boost fat loss, boost libido or improve sexual health, improve skin quality, give you more energy, and boost your mood.
The hormones most often affected by aging include:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Human growth hormone (HGH)
- Thyroid
- Adrenal
- Human chorionic hormone (HCG)
A decrease in these hormones can lead to many varying symptoms, including, but not limited to:
- Bloating
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Hair loss
- Mood swings
- Trouble concentrating
- Irregular menstrual cycle
If you are experiencing these or other symptoms of hormone imbalance, contact us today for more information about our hormone replacement therapy services.

Kathy Paterson: Eat New Zealand
If travelling overseas restores your mind and body, it also reminds you of the quality of our produce and the passion, creativity and skill of our food producers, chefs and writers.
Last month at the Eat New Zealand Symposium (part of the programme during Wellington on a Plate), we heard from some of our best local food thinkers as well as Ben Shewry, our most famous cooking New Zealander and owner/chef of Attica restaurant in Melbourne, number 32 in the World's Top 100 Restaurants.
In their words "Eat New Zealand" is all about creating a strong community around food: what we grow, what we know, what we eat, and what we create or plate, to push ourselves to the next level.
To take our food to the world — New Zealand as a food destination. Restaurant critic for the Los Angeles Times, Jonathan Gold, was also on the programme. I met Jonathan a few days earlier, at a showing of City of Gold, a film that follows Jonathan as he explores the culinary culture of Los Angeles. A deep thinker, Jonathan is famed for championing small restaurants in little communities and his no-froufrou writing, which I find refreshing.
Sponge cake with dried apricot puree, whipped cream and edible flowers
A successful sponge is all about the folding in of the dry ingredients and melted butter. After you have beaten as much air as possible into your egg and sugar mixture, gently and carefully fold in the dry ingredients, trying to keep as much air in the mixture as possible. Get the recipe
Beef thin skirt with black garlic butter, warm lentils and roasted cauliflower
Skirt steak needs cooking quickly over high heat or slowly for two to three hours. There is no in-between. Skirt steak has a wonderful mineral flavour that is deeply satisfying. A nice touch is to chargrill two lemon halves to serve on the side of this dish. Get the recipe
Our chopped salad
According to legend, chopped salad originated from a customer at the Beverly Hills institution, La Scala, requesting that his salad, a blend of iceberg lettuce, salami, mozzarella and marinated chickpeas be chopped into bite-sized bits to make it less messy to eat.
I have taken a simple idea from the salad town, Los Angeles, and made one using some of our locally grown and produced ingredients. Get the recipe
