One of this month's tasks is to look at herbs for children. The main thing to consider is that children's bodies are still developing so their bodies may not be able to process herbs in the same way, some herbs will not be suitable and the dose needs to be considered. I've chosen two conditions to look at that young ones may suffer with; earache which I suffered with a lot myself as a young child and nappy rash as I've developed an interest in skin problems.
Some herb books say not to use herbs on infants under 6 months, some are more cautious and say 2 years, most books disappointingly, don't mention children at all. In the case of babies under 6 months of age the liver and digestive organs are not fully developed but if mom is breastfeeding then some safe herbs can be passed on through the mother's milk which has already been processed through her digestive system, an example is a mother taking Catnip for her baby's colic.
Naturally Healthy say not to use Goldenseal, Barberry due to the alkaloid berberine or Oregon Grape which can irritate mucous membranes on under 3 year olds. Hyssop should not be used under 2 years old, lobelia under 5 years old, Boneset under 12 months and Urva Ursi under 12.
Herbs can be introduced to children as simples/ individually, just as new foods are introduced one by one.
When considering a menstrum for children's herbs then honey is to be avoided until the age of 2 as there are micro-organisms which could potentially harm these youngsters and alcohol is usually avoided as a child's liver is still developing and could also be damaged.
Herbs could be given to children internally by tea or glycerine extraction and externally by infusion in a bath or on a cloth, or by using a cream, gel, poultice or ointment. Herbs For Kids suggest giving strong teas rectally as some children will not want to take herbs orally, I think this could be equally as difficult to get compliance with! I have seen suggestions for teas to be mixed with fruit juice and drunk or frozen as an ice lolly which might make them more enjoyable to take.
Working out a dose for children to take internally can be confusing; the first thing to do is to check that the herb is safe for a child to take. There are several peoples' rules regarding calculations; Clark's rule, Fried's rule, Young's rule and Cowling's rule are some I've come across.
Young's Rule - Add 12 to the child's age. Divide the child's age by this total. Example: dosage for a 3 year old: 3 divided by 15 (3+12) =0.2, or 1/5 of the adult dosage.
Cowling's Rule - Divide the number of the child's next birthday by 24. Example: dosage for a child who is 3, turning 4 would be: 4 divided by 24 = .16, or 1/6 of the adult dosage.
As you can see, each rule doesn't give the same dose. Some methods of calculation look at the weight of the child rather than the age:
Dr. Stengler's Quick Dosage Guide for Children
5-30 pounds
1/5 the adult dose
30-60 pounds
¼ the adult dose
60-90 pounds
1/3 the adult dose
90-120 pounds
½ the adult dose
120-150 pounds
¾ the adult dose
Rosemary Gladstar has a typical adult dose as 1 cup (8 oz.) tea, and two droppers full (60 drops) of tincture and a graduating dose for children.
When the adult (age 12 and over) dose is 1 cup (8 oz.) of tea, the following is recommended for children:
Younger than 2 years
½ to 1 teaspoon
2 – 4 years
2 teaspoons
4 – 7 years
1 tablespoon
7 – 11 years
2 tablespoons
When the adult dose is 2 droppers full (60 drops), the following is recommended for children:
Younger than 3 months
2 drops
3 – 6 months
3 drops
6 – 9 months
4 drops
9 – 12 months
5 drops
12 – 18 months
7 drops
18 – 24 months
8 drops
2 – 3 years
10 drops
4 – 6 years
15 drops
6 – 9 years
24 drops
9 – 12 years
30 drops
Earache In Children
Until about 7 years of age the Eustachian tubes are not fully developed, they are narrower and not situated in such a good position for drainage as adults. Drainage can become a problem, leading to inflammation and infection which in turn creates pain for the child.
Live Strong say a clinical study in "Pedriatrics" by Sarrell et al published in May 2005 found ear drops containing Mullein relieved pain better than antibiotics.
Steven Horne reports that the longest it has taken him to relieve earache in any of his children is 5 hours. He suggests that 2 approaches are needed; one to get rid of the swelling, redness and heat of inflammation and the other is to drain away excess fluid. He uses garlic infused olive oil with either mullein or St. John's Wort flowers as ear drops (warmed) and this can also be massaged around the ear and the side of the neck for lymphatic drainage. Herbs for Kids also use infused Willow bark.
Warmth can often help the pain caused by earache, so keeping the area warm may help. Ensuring a child has a healthy diet may help to maintain a healthy immune system and reduce the frequency of infections. Some authors recommend a diet low in dairy to improve drainage from the ears.
Oil should not be put into a child's ear if there are grommets fitted or if there is any suspicion that that the ear drum is not intact (there may be discharge from the ear). A doctor should be contacted if you are concerned or unsure about anything, if the child has severe pain, a high temperature, is vomiting or has no improvement after 2 nights of having drops.
Nappy Rash
Nappy or diaper rash occurs when there is irritation to the skin in the nappy area, usually from contact with urine and faeces, sometimes from the material of the nappy or the powder it has been washed in.
The first thing to do is to investigate the cause, make sure the child is changed frequently enough and is clean and dry, allow some nappy-free time, maybe change the brand of disposable nappy or the way cloth nappies are washed.
It is possible that some foods may make the urine more acidic, such as tomatoes, so it may be worth observing a child's diet to see if it has any effect. Drinking plenty of fluids will make the urine less concentrated.
The most popular herb used in natural products I have seen for sale is Calendula, also known as Pot Marigold. This herb is used for skin healing and regeneration and is suitable for all skin types including sensitive and babies skin. At home the flower petals can be macerated in oil and this can be made into an ointment by adding beeswax or used in a cream. An ointment may provide more of a barrier, to 60ml of oil add 1 teaspoon beeswax; this will let the skin breathe unlike petroleum based products. The skin could also be bathed with water infused with herbs.
|Calendula Flowers
Other herbs documented as suitable for nappy rash are Aloe Vera, Chickweed, Marshmallow root, Plantain and Comfrey. Info Herb state "We must use herbs that not only will help the rash, but herbs that will help nourish the skin and fight the bacteria which is almost always present".
If there is no improvement after three days, or there are signs of infection such as the rash joining up to create angry red plaques of broken skin then the advice of a health care professional should be sought.

filed for trademarks
old character's 'twin'
Toronto's Yorkdale Shopping Centre ("Yorkdale") has forever changed the way we will visualize Santa Claus. Paul Mason, aka "Hot Santa", was hired by Yorkdale to portray a modern Santa Claus. Through the gift of social media, Hot Santa went viral, with many oogling over the transformation of how we view Santa Claus. And, Paul Mason received instant stardom.
This year, Yorkdale was not successful in re-hiring Paul Mason for the role of Santa Claus, so hired an equally handsome and modern Santa Claus, Adam Martin.
Now, Yorkdale Shopping Centre and Paul Mason are fighting over the 'Fashion Santa' brand that both parties took part in making a success.
A question I never thought I would ask: who has the legal rights to the "Fashion Santa"?
Both parties have filed for trademarks to 'Fashion Santa', and Hot Santa started registering the copyright for Fashion Santa long before he was featured at Yorkdale Shopping Centre. However there are other legal issues that need to be taken into consideration, including:
- Whether an employment/consulting agreement was entered into between Yorkdale and 'Fashion Santa' and who retained ownership of the brand;
- The similarities between the 'Fashion Santa' character and the new Yorkdale character.
The latter will be a complex issue, since both parties have applied for trademark registration of 'Fashion Santa'. Since Yorkdale filed their trademark application first, it is likely that they will get priority for the trademark.
This is not the first time a character has been disputed between an employer/company and the person actually playing the character. Recently, Stephen Colbert reincarnated his famous Colbert character from The Colbert Report on his new night show.
He publicly stated his limitations due to copyright, but instead introduced his old character's 'twin'.
Including the following sort of clause can help protect an employer from having a person hired to play a character from taking the character with him:
"The employee/consultant understands that all proprietary information and work product is the property of the company. In addition, the employee/consultant hereby agrees to assign to the company, without further consideration, all existing and future rights that the employee/consultant may presently have or may acquire, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, in and to the proprietary information and work product, which shall be the sole property of the company, whether or not it is registrable intellectual property."
The contract drafter can also define 'proprietary information' and 'work product' based on the specific circumstances the contract is being drafted for. This will help to create greater certainty.
You never know what idea is going to attract instant fame, so it is always a good idea to protect yourself with the right legal document. Make sure Santa Claus has the right clause!

CMBS Loan Modification and Refinance
Many Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) loans are set to mature over the next year. Although the underlying properties are generating more than enough cash flow to meet all loan, tax and reserve payments, these loans are still in imminent danger of default.
We have seen many borrowers surprised when their loan is put into special servicing even though they have never missed a payment. This article discusses the special servicer process and offers suggestions as to how borrowers should work with servicers.
Although this may appear basic to many borrowers, some discussion is helpful on the roles of master and special servicers.
Special Servicer vs. Master Servicer – The Difference
The master servicer collects payments and disburses monies to the bondholders, taxing jurisdictions and others. Their primary authority is to oversee the administration of the loan. Because of IRS REMIC and contractual limitations, they typically have no authority to make or approve loan modifications.
Pooling and Servicing Agreements (PSA)
The contractual limitations can be found in the pooling and servicing agreement. Often called a PSA, these agreements are frequently in excess of 1000 pages. Every CMBS loan has a PSA that dictates the responsibilities and authority of the master and special servicers. Few real estate lawyers have experience with CMBS servicing and PSA agreements.
CMBS Loan Modifications – Caution Approaching Servicer
Many borrowers approach the master servicer directly and seek a modification. That is some what understandable because until that point, all their dealings have been with the master servicer. Borrowers frequently don't even know who the special servicer is.
Caution! By approaching the master servicer directly, the borrowers may be placing themselves in a technical default. Lay people think of defaults in terms of missing a payment but that isn't the case in the CMBS world.
Often the loan documents say that loss of a key tenant or a request for a hardship modification are enough to trigger a technical default. Sometimes the master servicer will tell the borrower that it must miss or be late on a payment so that the loan can get transferred to a special servicer.
Be very careful! Some of the largest special servicers in the industry are notoriously difficult. In our opinion, that includes some of the largest servicers including LNR Partners, CWCapital and C-III Asset Management. If your loan is coming due or you need to modify your loan, speak with us first.
Loan modifications for CMBS funded properties are rare. The special servicer may have the authority to modify a loan but rarely exercises that power. That means borrowers need to prepare long before the loan matures. Although property values have increased in many areas of the country, the cash flows on many properties are not sufficient causing traditional bank lenders to pass on refinancing requests. Hard money lenders and equity investors may step in but these deals take time and many borrowers are reluctant to give up part of their ownership interest or lack funds to make principal reductions on the loan.
There are options but borrowers will need plenty of time and should not wait until the note matures before approaching the special servicer.
We have seen at least one deal where the borrower assumed the special servicer would allow it to use accumulated reserves to buy time for refinancing and / or use that money to make a principal reduction. While those requests may make economic sense, remember that many special servicers are notorious for the way they deal with borrowers.
Whether the fault falls completely on the special servicer depends on the terms of the pooling and servicing agreements. The PSA often gives special rights to holders of particular tranches of the trust. [CMBS loans have a "trust" as the noteholder. The trust often has several layers or tranches. Those noteholders with higher level tranches receive a smaller piece of the revenue stream but they are first to be paid.]
Special Servicer Conflicts of Interest
The PSA agreements often give special servicers the right to acquire the property at a fair value price. Not the best price. That's right, the person servicing your loan may have the right to buy it without your approval in the event of default.
If you are thinking this creates a huge conflict of interest, we agree. Servicers have a duty to the bondholders; the owners of the trust. Obviously, if a property is in default, the noteholders want to get the best price possible and minimize their losses. Assuming the special servicer decides to acquire the property, however, they will obviously want to obtain it at the lowest possible price. CWCapital is currently in litigation over this issue. Special servicers may also have a duty to be fair in their dealings with the borrowers.
The conflicts in these arrangements are so many that they could be the subject of a book. Unfortunately, the borrower is often the one with the least clout, especially when they attempt to negotiate on their own.
Often a borrower will miss a payment in order to transfer the loan from the master servicer to the special servicer. Remember the master servicer has no authority to change or extend the terms of the loan.
Borrowers need to know that the minute a loan goes into substantial special servicing, fees and charges begin to mount. Of course, this comes at the worst time for borrowers.
Pre-Negotiation Letter (PNA)
The loan terms typically say that the special servicer can initiate foreclosure on behalf of the trust. Sometimes, special servicers will offer to hold off on the foreclosure. Unfortunately, that typically means signing a pre-negotiation letter (PNA).
We say "unfortunately" because the terms of most PNA agreements include a waiver of all defenses the borrower may have. Those agreements typically have a confidentiality clause too. You can't sue and you can't talk to others.
Even if no PNA is signed, forbearance is often not in the borrower's best interest. Default interest, late fees, appraisal fees, receivers and the like can make it impossible for the borrower to ever dig out. At that point the borrower is at the complete mercy of the special servicer and the special servicer often wants to acquire the property for its own portfolio.
Sometimes the special servicer won't foreclose but will instead sell the note. This is common in states where foreclosures can drag on for years or where the borrower intends to fight. By selling the note, the borrower may lose some of its claims when the note is transferred.
Another dynamic to be considered in most CMBS loans are the powers the special servicer has to allocate payments. Borrowers are shocked to learn that even though the property was generating sufficient cash flow to pay down the note, the special servicer reallocated the payments to everything but principal. Again, the special servicer appears to have many conflicts of interest with the bondholders and borrowers but that rarely stops them from acting in their own best interests.
Although loan modifications are rare, the modifications with the best chance of success are short term extensions of the maturity date. Even then, special servicers will often demand a principal reduction payment.
We hope that you walk away with several lessons from this article. First, make sure you have a good lawyer before you approach the servicer or special servicer. Even if your loan is current, a modification request could trigger a technical default. Local real estate lawyers are great for knowing local customs and laws but very few have experience with CMBS loans, REMIC rules and New York trust law. [Many trusts are established in New York.]
Second, special servicers – especially the larger servicers including LNR Partners, CW Capital and C-III Asset Management – can be very difficult. (We are presently pursuing claims against LNR Partners and CWCapital.)
Finally, don't wait. Simply because rents are servicing the debt and your loan is current does not mean a lender will quickly refinance the loan. Worse, special servicers may have an economic interest averse to yours.
There are many, many CMBS loans that mature over the next year. Many borrowers are in for a rude awakening when they try to refinance their loans. Call us before you are in a technical default or have your loan transferred to special servicing. The earlier we can get involved, the more options you have.

Take a deep breath, hold it for a moment, let it out. That calm serenity you're feeling is the essence of Pinto. He is an exceptionally easy going cat, who can disarm his more confrontational fellows as if by magic. Other cats can't pick a fight with Pinto because he ignores their poor manners and rubs on them in greeting. or withdraws.
It's clear that he enjoys the company of other cats, and is comforted by their presence. Currently he shares a room with his friend, Mooney, and can be found sharing a kitty bed together on occasion, too.
Pinto can be shy, he comes around quickly and consistently with a few good chin scratchings, even after being given medicine, or enduring other necessary discomforts.
This guy is very child friendly, not because he goes out of his way to socialize with children, but because he is so tolerant. If kids are making him uncomfortable, he withdraws, but shows no inclination of lashing out. Ever.
So, what could be wrong with this perfect angel cat? Not much, actually. He isn't a big fan of being picked up and doesn't seem to want to sit in laps. But he loves being petted while he's got four on the floor. LOVES IT! And…that's it. Not so bad, is it?
Pinto will make an excellent addition to any household. Homes with other cats, children, elderly folks, people with disabilities, people who like brussels sprouts, you name it. If you want a cat, come meet him, and you will want to take him home.

Chapter 3 the color of despair Summary Inman feels that after days of traveling he has not gotten very far from the hospital. Bad weather, dogs from the farms he passed, and the threat of the Home Guard, plus his wounded condition leave Inman tired and partially lost.
He comes to a town at a crossroad and stops in a store to buy food. Two men who were sitting in rockers on the porch of the store when Inman arrived are gone when he comes out. Inman had noted that one of the men had a fine rifle, the kind snipers use. At the edge of town the same two men block Inmans path. A third man, a smith carrying a scythe, joins them. The three jump Inman. Inman is able to grab the scythe and sweeps it across near the mens ankles. He beats them down with the handle. The smith pulls out a gun. Inman takes the gun, places it to the smiths head and pulls the trigger four times. The gun does not fire. Inman beats the man, flings the gun away and walks off.
Inman avoids the road as he continues. He recalls a spell against enemies taught to him by a Native American friend. The spell reminds him of a sermon Monroe gave the day Inman first met Ada. But his thoughts do not distract him from the foulness of the area where he is walking. He is between a forest overgrown with poison ivy and a great brown river, which he cannot cross.
He comes to a sign marking a ferry crossing. Rather than a ferry and a ferryman, Inman meets a young girl with a canoe. She haggles with him for a $20 fee and they begin to cross the river. Suddenly they hear voices and gunshots. It is the men from the crossroads town. They shoot holes in the canoe forcing Inman and the girl into the water holding on to the far side of the canoe for cover. They are finally carried out of range by the current. Once on land, Inman gives the girl more money and she gives him directions to the road that goes west.
Inman is bruised from the fight, blistered from poison ivy, and his neck wound has opened up. His food is tainted with the taste of the river. Yet after only a few hours sleep he sets off again.
Inman so loves the flowers, ridges, coves and clear water of Cold Mountain that his current surroundings are vile to him. He hates the flat land, the pinewoods and the disgustingly brown river. The war was fought over ground like this country of swill and sullage, sump of the continent. Still he continues, soul-sick, and despairing that there is not even a hope that Ada will be with him in Cold Mountain. Tired, sore and injured he chooses to continue his journey. The theme of endurance is strong in this chapter.

Therapeutic abortion is the ending of a pregnancy on purpose. A medical abortion is done by taking medicine. This procedure is done in early pregnancy. It can be done up to 8 weeks.
This process is not the same as emergency contraception. An abortion ends a pregnancy that has started. Emergency contraception helps prevent pregnancy.
Reasons for Procedure
A therapeutic abortion may be done to:
- Preserve the mother's physical and mental health
- End a pregnancy that tests have shown would result in a child with severe abnormalities
Possible Complications
Complications are rare. But, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have an abortion, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. These may include:
- Infection
- Allergic reaction
- Heavy bleeding
- Incomplete procedure
A medical abortion is unsuccessful about 5%-10% of the time. If the abortion was not complete, you may need more medicine. A surgery may also be needed to end the pregnancy.
It is best to do the procedure as early as possible. This will decreases the chance of complications. If you think you might be pregnant, see your doctor. The earlier you find out, the more time you have to make an informed choice about the pregnancy.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may:
- Examine you to determine the stage of your pregnancy
- Do blood and urine tests to confirm the pregnancy
- Use ultrasound to give an accurate assessment of the stage of pregnancy
No anesthesia will be used.
Description of Procedure
You will be given medicine in the doctor's office. This medicine will stop the pregnancy. It may be a pill, given by shot, or inserted into the vagina. Many will also need to take other medicine 1 to 3 days later.
An exam will be done about a week later to make sure the procedure is done.
How Long Will It Take?
The process can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. The amount of time depends on the type of medicine used.
Will It Hurt?
You may:
- Feel lightheaded
- Have strong cramps
- Feel nauseous
- Have temporary abdominal pain
- Have temporary mild fever or chills
Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can reduce most of these symptoms. Do not take aspirin unless directed to by your doctor.
Post-procedure Care
- You may have cramps and bleeding.
- You may also have nausea and diarrhea.
- You should not douche or use vaginal medications until your doctor allows it.
- You can shower or bathe.
- Do not have sex for at least 1 week.
- You should recover within a couple of days.
- Make sure you return to see your doctor for follow-up.
Sudden hormone changes may increase natural feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, and regret. Most doctors can offer or refer you to follow-up counseling.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing or you develop complications such as:
- Fever

While presidential candidate Hillary Clinton continues to fend off questions from the press about the investigation into her use of a private email server while secretary of state, the controversy does not appear to have shaken her staunchest supporters.
CBS News spoke to more than a dozen "Hillblazers," donors who have raised $100,000 or more.
Dallas lawyer Regina Montoya and all the others said they aren't worried about the email flap, or even paying much attention to it, reports CBS News correspondent Nancy Cordes.
"I can't tell you even just today, I received a phone call or I spoke to someone who said, 'When is the next event for Hillary?'" Montoya said.
Clinton's approval ratings were still sky high among Democrats in the latest CBS News poll.
"So far, there is no evidence this has hurt her in the primary, other than the fact that she hasn't completely solidified 100 percent of the vote, which was never really possible anyway," Democratic strategist Steve McMahon said.
During a news conference in a Las Vegas gymnasium Tuesday, Clinton said she's being singled out unfairly.
"I've been thinking about the fact that I get a lot of attention because I had a personal email account, as did other high-ranking officials in the State Department and elsewhere in the government," Clinton said.
She shrugged off the fact that intelligence officials now say some of those emails should have been marked classified and should have been sent on a secure government system.
"What you are seeing now is a disagreement between agencies saying, 'You know what you should have' and the others say, 'No, you shouldn't, that has nothing to do with me.' … Everybody is acting like this is the first time this has happened. It happens all the time," she said.
But the FBI doesn't ask for people's servers all the time.
During the news conference, Fox News' Ed Henry asked Clinton whether she wiped out her email server.
"What, like with a cloth or something? I don't know how it works digitally at all," she responded.
As she left the news conference, Clinton said it's reporters, not Democratic voters, who care most.
"Nobody talks to me about it other than you guys," she said.

When you want to start saving money for the future, the information out there can be completely overwhelming. So below, I've included three smart and simple ways to get your retirement savings off to a good start.
1. Get Your Full Company 401k Match
During the financial crash of 2008, many companies stopped or severely dropped their 401k matching program. However, today, the amount of companies who are offering matches to their employees is up, and yet there are still so many employees who don't take advantage of it.
There are many different types of company match programs, so you'll need to check with your company's HR department to learn the specifics of yours. Essentially, a 401k match is when your company agrees to match your 401k contributions up to a certain percentage. Many people lose money by "front-loading" their 401k, which means they deposit a large lump sum into their 401k at the beginning of the year.
This is actually detrimental to many people because most employers match 401k contributions on a payroll basis, so if you put all your money in at one time, you could miss out on their match. Additionally, many people don't realize that they have to actually contribute a certain percentage of their paychecks to their 401ks to receive a match. So, you could be diligently putting money into your 401k each month, but it might not be enough to receive a company match. As stated, check with your HR department to make sure you understand your company's match policy.
Most importantly, don't be afraid or hesitant to ask as many questions as possible about your 401k matching program. After all, it's your retirement money and your company's free contribution money that you could be missing out on.
2. Open an IRA
An IRA, or an "Individual Retirement Account" is a great way to save additional money for your retirement in conjunction with your 401k. It also works well if your company does not offer you a 401k or if you are self-employed. However, it's important to note that you can't contribute to one if you make more than $127,000 a year for an individual or $188,000 a year for a couple filing jointly so they are not for everyone.
Opening an IRA is surprisingly easy. All you need to do is choose a reputable company like Vanguard or Charles Schwab, put in your information, and create an account. It literally only takes a few minutes. You'll also want to decide which type of an IRA you want. The two most common types are a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA.
A Traditional IRA is deductible. If you make $32,000 a year and you put $2,000 in your Traditional IRA, then you are only taxed on $30,000 worth of income. However, you do have to pay taxes on what you earn at the end when you withdraw your earnings. If you don't want to do that, you can open a Roth IRA. For a Roth IRA, you aren't taxed at the end, but you also don't get to deduct what you put in from your income. It's important to note that IRA's max out at $5,500 per year for those who are under 50 years old and $6,500 for those who are over 50, so be sure that you also have other forms of retirement accounts in addition to your IRA.
3. Diversify Your Investments
Diversifying your investments means that you don't want to put all of your money in one place. So, you don't want to have 100% stocks in your portfolio in case the stock market crashes. Similarly, you don't want to put all of your money in real estate in case the market experiences a severe decline again. So, the best way to ensure your investments will give you a good return is to diversify. Most people invest in stocks and bonds in addition to a few other forms of investments like foreign investments, real estate, and cash equivalents.
If you are unfamiliar with investing, a good first step would be to speak to a financial advisor. You can find a financial advisor through the advice of friends or in house at your bank. It's best to work with one who doesn't mind explaining investment in layman's terms so that you are just as much of a part of your investment future as they are.
Your advisor will help you decide if you should be an aggressive or a conservative investor. If you're young, you can afford to be more aggressive and then make your portfolio more conservative as you get older. They can also help you to decide what percentage of stocks and bonds should be in your portfolio.

Parking in the park can be a challenge, even without construction. Fortunately, Washington Park offers a free shuttle that provides transportation to all the park's attractions.
The shuttle runs every 15 minutes and takes about 30 minutes to do the entire loop. From May to September there is daily service from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can access the shuttle from the MAX stop, as well as walk, roll, or bus to any of the various stops to easily hop on and tour the park.
Learn more and see the stops at explorewashingtonpark.org/getting-here.
Park users are encouraged to move safely around the park and its attractions. Please watch carefully for detours and signage, and follow direction from flaggers. Visit trimet.org and explorewashingtonpark.org for transit options.
Construction continues on a Portland Water Bureau long term project to improve and updates the Washington Park reservoir at 2403 SW Jefferson Street. This project brings the city into compliance with federal and state mandates, seismically strengthens key water infrastructure on Portland's west side. The improvements also help ensure a healthy, resilient, and secure water system.
A new 12.4-million gallon, seismically reinforced, below ground reservoir will be constructed in the same footprint of existing Reservoir 3 (the upper one) with a reflecting pool/water feature on top. The engineers preserved the historic drinking water function, and improved the reservoir to withstand ongoing landslide encroachment or other potentially catastrophic effects from a major earthquake.
Once completed, the upper reservoir will supply water to Portland's west side and serve:
Lower Reservoir
The existing Reservoir 4 (the lower one) is disconnected from the public drinking water system and will boast a lowland wildlife habitat area and bioswale. Additionally, a reflecting pool will be constructed in the basin.
Construction started September 12, 2016 and is anticipated to proceed through 2020. A pause is scheduled to occur from 2020 to 2022 to allow soils to settle for greater stability and resiliency. From 2022 to 2024, construction of interpretive features, including the two reflecting pools and surface features, will conclude the project.
Safety is Our Top Priority
The traffic control plan in place has been approved by the Portland Bureau of Transportation. The Water Bureau will be conducting evaluations and adjusting traffic flow as conditions require. The Water Bureau is working with Portland Parks & Recreation, Explore Washington Park, neighborhood associations, and the community to gather on-the-ground feedback and determine if changes are necessary. Please provide your traffic and signage feedback by phone, e-mail, or on the dedicated webpage.
Until March 2018, major earthwork will occur along with the construction of shoring walls necessary for construction of the new underground reservoir. Work during this stage will cause temporary impacts to traffic, parking, and TriMet bus service.
Current to March 2018

Located just off the A12 between Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, Pleasurewood Hills has all-age appeal.

Pleasurewood Hills is best known as a family theme park set in an attractive large woodland setting.
LOWESTOFT….the history and heritage of Britains most easterly point is everywhere. Parts of Lowestoft date back to the 1500's and the town is honeycombed with old scores, narrow thoroughfares carved out of the soft sand by people over the centuries for a quick route from the town centre to the beach village…….Safe bathing, golden sands with a blue flag award, an outstanding regional theatre makes Lowestoft one of Britain's best summer destinations. Crowds flock here every year. A Victorian seafront gardens, the Royal plain fountains, two piers and a rich maritime past told through the towns musuems and heritage walks. It is still a thriving fishing town, you can buy the freshest catch and visit a traditional smokehouse. There is so much to do here with Gt Yarmouth and its golden mile less than 10 miles away..and Somerleyton Hall a mansion with beautiful gardens so close..a fab day out! Lots of pubs, restaurants and cafes…..The Jolly Sailors and The Oddfellows in Pakefield for traditional pub grub and Sunday lunches, The Hotel Victoria with its coastal restaurant but we thoroughly recommend The Thatch for afternoon tea and a piece of cake sitting next to the putting green or stroll further up the prom to Kensington Gardens where you can have a cuppa and a piece of cake and watch green bowls being played. The Kensington Gardens are being lovingly restored with help of a small group of volunteers ' The Friends of Kensington Gardens ' whose plan is to make this a garden where the general public can enjoy many an hour walking through it's grounds.
Caldecott Hall is a popular venue with a range of good facilities which offer a pleasant day out to members and visitors. As well as the 18 hole golf course, there's an interesting par three course which demands the use of a range of clubs. The golf course is configured as two loops of nine holes eminating from the clubhouse and is inviting with views from the first tee over much of the opening nine holes which is set on undulating land. The clubhouse is converted 18th century Grade II listed barn and has adjoining changing rooms with oak lockers. The resident professional is on hand for individual or group tuition whilst the Pro Shop is competitively equipped for all your needs.
PAKEFIELD….. such a pretty, pretty place. A village nestling on the edge of Lowestoft and Chiltern House, fabulous walks along the Pakefield Cliffs, passing the old fishing boats and the beautiful church set up on the cliff overlooking the sea packed with history of the war when the little church was bombed. A walk that takes you along the beach to nearby Kessingland and for the REAL walkers onto Southwold.
KESSINGLAND……. Visit Africa Alive www.africa-alive.co.uk to see more than 80 species of animal from around Africa. Catch the No 61 bus ( Yellow ) which drops off right outside or drive and go and see the unspoilt beach and have a meal at the Waterfront restaurant (www.thewaterfrontkessingland.co.uk ) overlooking the sea.
SOUTHWOLD…….. is one of Suffolk's most charming seaside towns. No modern theme parks here, souvenir shops, or postcard humour just…lovely, lovely townscape, pretty beach huts, fantastic pier, the lighthouse is a must, a visit to Adnams brewery, shops and boutiques, plenty of pubs, cafe's and restaurants and the old fashioned harbour with a ferry that rows you across to Walberswick.
WALBERSWICK……. Just down from Southwold, across the river Blyth famous for crabbing competitions the kids love it, lovely pubs and cafe's
DUNWICH……legend has it that on a quiet day you can hear the church bells tolling beneath the sea, the ruins of Greyfriars monastery and St James chapel to the leper hospital remain for you to visit. Dunwich heath is a precious heathland which explodes into colour every year…don't miss fish and chips at The Ship pub, one time smugglers haunt.
ALDEBURGH……A World-renowned seaside town on the Suffolk coast, home to the best fish and chips in the country and the greatest classical music festival this side of Vienna…a pebbly beach with fishermens'huts selling their wares. Lots of Pubs, restaurants and cafes, shops and galleries, a cinema and summer theatre. Maggi Hambling's scallop sculpture is not to be missed!
SNAPE MALTINGS…..Is most famous for its music founded by Benjamin Britten, a fab place to visit with items for the home, garden, boutiques and galleries…cafe at the maltings and The Plough and Sail pub all a must!
BECCLES……a charming market town on the Southern most end of the Norfolk Broads with an abundance of independent shops, cafe's, restaurants &pubs. Take in the sights of the church standing proud in the centre of town with a detached tower giving views afar. The museum gives a great insight into the history of the town. You can take a dip in Beccles lido which is an award winning example of community spirit or simply turn up on market day and soak up the atmosphere. Why not go for a boat trip up the river on the Black Dog ferry and stop for a pint &a sandwich at the Locks Public House, then take a stroll back along the river walk.
BUNGAY…..surrounded by the Waveney Valley countryside, try some of the way-marked routes through village &valley.
Book your seats at Fisher Theatre one of the oldest provincial theatres in the country. Leaf through the pages of the towns history, legends &stories to find out about Black Shuck's brief but never forgotten reign of terror. Visit the ancient ruins of Bigods Castle.

Technical Paper
Comparison of Energy Management Materials for Head Impact Protection
Energy management materials are widely used in automotive interiors in instrument panel, knee bolster, and door absorber applications to reduce the risk of injury to an occupant during a crash. Automobile manufacturers must meet standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that identify maximum levels of injury to an occupant. The recent NHTSA upgrade to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 201 test procedure(1) for upper interior head impact protection has prompted energy management materials' use in several new areas of affected vehicles. While vehicle evaluations continue, results to date show that energy management foams can be effective in reducing the head injury criterion [HIC(d)] to acceptable government and OEM levels.

There are three major approaches to running. The first is to go outside and go jogging along trails or in parks made exclusively for runners. The second is to go into your local sports center or gym and use a best treadmill running equipment there. Thirdly, you can purchase a running treadmill for yourself, to use at home. Other people are looking it as a little hard going out and running in parks because they have low energy – which is seemingly the reason they want to get into shape, to develop their confidence and to look and feel better.
For some, a busy daily routine might stop when they know they need to really be on the treadmill in their gym. So for most, having a running machine at home offers all the natural health advantage of running, added with helping the self-conscious to building up fitness and a little alertness; and grants people with busy lifestyles to grab a quick ten-minute run in between other
tasks, to raise up their energy levels.
Purchasing a treadmill for home may seem like a very costly choice. However, it is very much like purchasing a car. There is something for all budgets, although you will actually get what you are paying for. cheap treadmills can be a wrong choice because they often need to be manually powered – that is, you make them work yourself by your running moves in moving the belt. The cheap ones also don't usually have a deck that can be adjusted steeper to imitate hill running. If you simply want to go through the movement of doing some common running (or fast walking, which is also a great exercise!) and don't think these problems, then get a cheap manual treadmill. Just make sure the production isn't too shaky.View more updates straight from the source.
At the other end of the scale is the more price-heavy electric running equipment, which could cost you thousands of dollars. The more pricey ones tend to contain luxuries that you really don't need; some other even have TV built into the equipment! The right choice for a serious runner who wants steady training when the condition outside is not good, is to opt for a mid-level-priced brands. If you already have a heart rate monitor for your natural running, then why spend for a machine that has one built in and costs you additional money?
What you should be trying to look for in a fairly priced treadmill is a sturdy electric motor and a good top speed. The best ones will have a very robust design and features, and a longer deck, so that you don't need to force yourself when in full stride. The mid-priced and the very costly running machines will have a series of exercise features, including changing speeds and gradients to imitate a cross country run.Get latest reviews at http://treadmillreviewsite.co.uk/jll-s300-digital-treadmill-review/
It is either you go for a cheap, basic choice or one of the more high tech machines, make sure it has a bottle holder; it is best to run without needing to carry it in your hand. And of course, remember always to seize up before you go shopping! The last thing you wish is to purchase a new treadmill only to find that you don't quite have the room to set it up. Finally, when scouring the manufacturers for a treadmill, wear some sneakers and jogging pants so you can try out a few for yourself. Be on your safety to avoid ones that feel a little bit too exhausted – or else you will be going back in the store a later months to buy another one!

Now it is time to define the curls. I use the Defining Cream by OGX Beauty. I use this cream instead of a gel I feel it is much healthier on the hair. Now to apply this you want to scrunch your hair. Scrunching your hair is helping shape the curl. In the past, I used the SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie but I feel it was too thick for my hair. It is such a great product but I feel it works better on thicker hair. I gave it to my sister as she has more ethnic hair.
Once the cream is in then you want to use a blow dryer with a diffuser head, this is important. It is more important to apply a heat protectant spray before using the blow dryer; any spray works. After blow-drying, my hair is fluffy and curly.
Once my hair is blown dry I then apply PYT Argan Oil. The smell, texture, and shine it provides is amazing. I was actually gifted this from my MUA Friend Kimberly. I really wish there was a better way to describe the way something smells because the smell of this oil is amazing. I know a lot of people get worried about applying oil to their hair because they do not want it to get greasy, but this oil is a non-greasy. I recommend this as well.
SO…. here it is Blossoms how I tame my natural curls.What are some ways you tame your mane? Let me know below.
PS: have a great weekend

I've been meaning for years to visit the American Sign Museum here in Cincinnati. It opened in 2005, and finally, this past Friday, thanks to Super Summer Hours, Greg and I went. And we loved it.
The museum's sign collection includes pieces from throughout sign history, starting with hand-carved wooden letters and going through the neon age.
This sample was in the lobby of the Beverly Sign Company. It showcased some of their gold leaf fonts. I love the descriptions in the arrows: "Nice for a bank," "Pretty popular," and everyone's favorite, "The husky one."
In our history lesson of signs, we learned about trade signs. These signs featured imagery that would indicate to someone who couldn't read what the business did. Shoes were a popular motif as were watches.
These art deco neon signs were two of my favorites.
While there were a lot of Cincinnati-centric signs, the signs have come from all over the country. The satellite came from a mall in California, I believe.
I was dying to flip through all these lovely letters.
One of our favorite examples was this salesman's sample. The letter R glowed purple in an art deco box, but it was really just a white R illuminated by a red and a blue neon light.
The R above by itself looks like this D.
I meant to take a photo of the cool salesman's suitcase, but in a sign museum, you get a lot of extra stuff in your pictures, too.
We signed up for the 2pm tour, as the tours were highly recommended by the museum web site. And I'm glad we did. Oddly enough, there weren't a lot of signs about the signs, so the tour guide really helped put it all in context, and he told great stories about the signs, too. As a bonus, at the end of the tour, we were given a demonstration by a neon sign maker whose business is housed in the museum building.
It was truly one of our best Summer Hours Adventures. I would highly recommend a visit to the American Sign Museum if you're ever in Cincinnati.

Welcome to the Balance Aotearoa Website
Feedback on "He Ara Oranga" ( The Mental Health & Addictions Inquiry Report) and priorities for the transformation from people with lived experience and whanau
Balance Aotearoa and the Wellbeing Coalition Aotearoa were contracted by the Ministry of Health to gather feedback from people with lived experience of mental distress and addiction and whanau on the Report of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction. Around 100 people responded to questions via an online feedback and voting platform (Mentimeter) and a group of 26 leaders lived experience and whanau leader met to discuss the report on Feb 13th 2019.
Overall support for the report but there are gaps and shortcomings
Overall, people responded to the report with feelings of 'hope' and 'optimism'. They believe the report presents an unprecedented opportunity for whole of system transformation.
But they also expressed concerns that some of the key messages in the report were not reflected in the recommendations and that some of the 'big issues' that matter to them were not emphasised enough.
The 16 big issues that need more attention
In the transformation process they want to see more emphasis and priority given to the sixteen big issues:
- Ending forced treatment rather than just 'minimising' it.
- Developing advocacy and better processes to ensure system accountability.
- Ending the health-led system and moving towards cross-sector a community led funding and delivery.
- Developing community-based replacements to acute inpatient services.
- Defining and providing easy access to broad range of responses.
- Giving priority to developing peer support.
- Funding and equipping whanau and communities, not just services.
- Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi with tangible actions to develop Maori for Maori solutions and equitable outcomes.
- Developing and funding lived experience and whanau roles and a national lead agency.
- Ensuring people who use services have decision-making power with the involvement of trusted whanau.
- Focusing efforts on children and young people.
- Preventing and responding to adverse childhood events (ACEs).
- Stopping inequities and discrimination.
- Creating a zero-suicide target.
- Ensuring people with lived experience lead the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission.
- Developing a full co-production process for the transformation, not just co-design.

Priorities for the transformation from people with lived experience and whānau as a PDF
Priorities for the transformation from people with lived experience and whanau as a Word document
The Mental Health and Addiction Inquiry panel received over 5,000 submissions, and Panel members attended over 300 meetings with individuals, community groups and stakeholders around the country. They've heard from many people about their experiences of mental health and addiction. This includes individuals' personal experiences (directly or as family/whanau), what's working well and what isn't, and the experiences of providers, clinicians and advocates.
The Mental Health and Addiction Inquiry pane honoured our contributions by developing a report called He Ara Oranga that is hoped will lead to significant improvements in mental health and addiction in New Zealand and create hope for the future. The Inquiry was a once in a generation opportunity to make real change. We are seizing that opportunity.
Balance Aotearoa had it's turn with a 90 minute forum in Whanganui during this time. And this was our written submission with an appendix that we took to the Panel about, as well as hosting Whanganui Tangata Whaiora to have their say.
Balance NZ and Balance Whanganui merged to become Balance Aotearoa in July 2016. We took this decision to ensure the ongoing sustainability of our respective organisations so that we can continue to contribute to the mental health and addictions sector as a peer-led organisation.
All the things that Balance NZ currently does remains in place i.e. peer led workshops, the online forums and our participation as a Disabled Person's Organisation.
As a merged organisation we need to renew our membership connection with you. We invite new and existing members to sign up here. This means you will need to apply to become a member of Balance Aotearoa should you wish to.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

What you see in this photo is an assortment of yo-yo's. Hand gathered little circles that are drawn up and measure about two inches before they are flattened into this shape and are made into "quilts". No backing or batting is normally added, just hundreds or even thousands of gathered circles that are stitched together edge-to-edge to complete the project.
But do you really know what this is a photo of?
I will show you the finished project at the bottom of this post. It was one of the entries in the Quilt Festival Show in Cincinnati.
We were vending at the Cincinnati show at the Duke Energy Convention Center. If you look closely you can see the edge of our double booth over in aisle 5, across from the Superior Threads booth. This photo only shows our end of the convention center. There was plenty more to enjoy at the opposite end of the huge room.
The show set-up was wonderful and there was plenty of quilting eye-candy. Being across from Superior Threads booth meant that as I demonstrated in our booth, this was the view that I had - not bad, not bad at all!
The quilts in their booth were wonderful and I was especially fond of the delectible mountain piece with the red border. The quilting was spectacular, but there is something about the way that the fabric shades through the colors that really appealed to me. After seeing it for 4 straight days, I know that I am going to have to make my own version of it. I will have to "put it on the list" of things I want to do as soon as I have time.
Do you have a list of quilts that you plan to make "someday"? My list includes a scrappy log cabin with lots and lots of tiny rails as well as a batik double wedding ring that doesn't even have to be a whole quilt, I would be happy with a table runner. I should probably plan to finish those twin quilts for our guest room that I have been working on for three, no four.... ok, about SEVEN years, but first I want to make another set of baby quilts for the twins that our daughter is expecting. Before that, I have to finish the pieces that I am working on for Quilt Market next month...... it is nice to know that there is no shortage of quilting in my future!
Now to show you what I will NOT be doing with my quilting time. I will not be making yo-yo's.... but if I did, I would hope that I would make something as unique as this.
Pretty amazing huh?
Doesn't that make you wonder where ideas like this come from?
Do you think the quiltmaker saw a handfull of yo-yo's laying on the table and thought, "Gee, that looks like my daughters eyes"? Maybe she has an aversion to sewing squares together or thought "Squares, been there, done that, I think I will photo shop circles into a scalloped edge quilt.
Maybe she had a few hundred yellow yo yo's left over from another project?
What is your best guess as to how something as unique as this gets started?

Data centre costs, complexity grow: Report
- 17 October, 2012 09:11
Data centre complexity issues such as increased use of business applications and rising facility costs were cited as areas of concern for IT executives, according to the results of a Symantec global survey.
The 2012 State of the Data Centre survey, which was conducted by ReRez Research in March 2012 with 100 Australia and New Zealand IT executives taking part out of a global pool of 2453 respondents found that complexity was impacting all areas of data centres including security, infrastructure, disaster recovery (DR), storage and compliance.
According to the survey, 67 per cent of A/NZ respondents reported that the number of business-critical applications was increasing.
Global data centre investment hits US$105 billion
Management guide: Data centre migration (Part 1)
Other key drivers of data centre complexity included the growth of data — highlighted by 43 per cent of respondents — while mobile computing and staffing issues were a concern for 37 per cent. In addition, 36 per cent of the A/NZ IT executives cited the lack of budget as a problem while server virtualization was adding to the headache for 34 per cent of those surveyed.
However, the biggest data centre complexity was higher cost for 50 per cent of those executives surveyed.
According to the survey, other major impacts included finding information (37 per cent), longer lead times for storage migration and provisioning storage (both at 36 per cent) followed by security breaches and data centre downtime (31 per cent each).
The survey also found that on a global average, enterprises had 16 data centre outages in the past 12 months costing US$5.1 million.
In A/NZ, 72 per cent of organisations noted that data centre outages cost them US$250,000 or less. These outages were due to system failures, human error and natural disasters.
Information governance
However, the results were not all doom and gloom for data centre managers. According to the survey, 63 per cent of A/NZ respondents were considering increasing their budget to mitigate data centre complexity.
In addition, the majority of local IT executives (77 per cent) were discussing information governance, implementing trials or programs. Information governance is designed to classify, retain and discover information to reduce information risk and the cost of managing this information.
According to the results, 77 per cent of respondents cited security as the biggest driver for information governance.
In addition, IT executives had a number of goals to achieve with information governance including reducing the cost of information management, reducing storage costs and reducing legal and compliance risks.
Data centre tips
Aside from the survey results, Symantec Pacific systems engineering senior director, Paul Lancaster, shared some advice for reducing data centre complexity.
- Establish C-level ownership of information governance. Start with high return on investment (ROI) projects such as data loss prevention, archiving and eDiscovery to preserve critical information.
- Get visibility beyond platforms. Understand the business services that IT is providing and all of the dependencies to reduce downtime and miscommunication.
- Understand what IT assets you have, how they are being consumed and by whom. This will help cut costs and risk. The organisation won't buy servers and storage it doesn't need while teams can be held accountable for what they use and the company can be sure it isn't running out of capacity.
- Reduce the number of backup applications to meet recovery service level agreements [SLAs] and reduce capital expenses and training costs.
- Deploy deduplication to help address the information `explosion' and reduce the rising costs associated with backing up data.
- Use appliances to simply backup and recovery operations across physical/virtual machines.
