This photo shows the Los Angeles County Courthouse from the corner of what is now W Temple St. and N Broadway. You see horse-drawn carriages on the left and people walking along the sidewalk on the right of this image. The stone work looks like it could have been laser aligned.
"The Court House was built from 1887-1891. It was damaged in the 1933 Long Beach earthquake, and declared unsafe for occupancy. Demolition started in 1935 (roof and two upper floors removed), and concluded 1936." – Los Angeles Water and Power Associates
It is a beautiful sample of the rich history of Los Angeles photography. It is unknown who took this photo but the photographer could have used a Kodak. The Kodak was first offered for sale in 1888 and was a simple box camera with a fixed focus lens. The other likely possibility is a plate camera that offered high quality prints and was very popular well into the 1900's. Surely this wonderful photographer is no longer available for your photo but I am and look forward to hearing from you.

The reason I speak of knowing your worth is because I believe it's very important knowing your value. You know it hurts me when I see people who have such great potential within themselves, but they just don't know their worth. If you ask me why, it's either someone hasn't showed them that there is a light at the end of the tunnel that they couldn't see, or it's because they didn't realise there's a left you was suppose to take to where the light is. So sometimes it is someone who shows you your potential. So I ask you to surround yourself with people that not only motivate you to do whatever it is you do, but that literally see something extraordinary in you that you can't see yourself, and makes you question, why do they see me bigger than I see myself? That's the type of people you keep around.
There's no time to give energy to people who bring nothing but bad breath and negativity to your life, because it's about bettering your mentality and being headstrong in this world. You'll meet some really dark, twisted people who will run through your weaknesses quicker than you can think. And by the time they're done with you, you're filled with nothing but dark emotions and feel worthless. I know that feeling. I know how it feels not knowing when things are going to stop. If you've ever felt like you wasn't enough for somebody or felt like you aren't good enough to be around certain crowds of people. Felt like all people do is tread over you, well that's because you don't know your worth.
I want you to drop them thoughts and emotions of feeling like you wasn't enough, feeling like you can't be more, always feeling less of yourself. Turn that negative into a positive because maybe it isn't you, maybe it's them. My biggest fear in this world is to feel worthless, not having a real value, feeling like a nobody. I felt like that once and told myself I'd never go back there and that's why I am where I stand today; because I no longer look at myself like I am the outsider.
You know no one has a clue about what you have been through in your life, so why live it feeling worthless. So this is what you do. You've got to rise above your problems that are making you feel low – easier said than done yes. I've been through some pretty traumatizing things in my life, but it hasn't prevented me from feeling content with myself. My main quote in life is, "God doesn't throw something at you that you can't handle" and He really doesn't. All the problems that you go through in life are supposed to make you twice the person you are, not break you. Feel beautiful. Feel loved. Look in the mirror and love yourself everyday. You are just as great as everybody else; if you're in need of reassurance, speak to that somebody who truly believes in you and be around them. You should feed off peoples' energy and absorb that emotion they have for you and let that be the reason why you stand strong.
You will know when you have found your worth. You will see it's almost impossible to go back to that dark place where it's lonely. You will care less about things and as time goes by, you will learn things about yourself that you once wouldn't believe you could do. Once you know your worth, there is no looking back.
"If you spend your time hoping someone will suffer the consequences for what they did to your heart, then you're allowing them to hurt you a second time in your mind."

How to Take Advantage of Social Media for your K&B Dealership
By Kurt Kaeser on 2013-01-22 in Kurt's BlogAs a Kaeser & Blair dealer you have many promotional products and advertising specialties to promote, but have you ever considered more non-traditional forms of marketing focused towards your clients and leads? In this article we have provided you with some tips to hopefully push you towards "spreading the word" through social media.
Think about this: a lot of people get more news today from sites like Facebook and Twitter than anywhere else. This and the fact that Facebook is now adding a new graph search feature will increase usage and relevant information for these sites creating even more traffic. What a great opportunity to jump on and play to your advantage!
However, there are some ideas and rules to consider before just posting everything in hopes of attracting followers and clients. The first piece of information that you need to know is that people don't like to read long posts! Keeping things short and simple is your best bet. If the viewer needs to click "Read more" on Facebook your post is probably too long! But definitely consider taking advantage of promotion and product knowledge by linking back to the K&B website as a form of demonstration for potential customers.
Secondly, if you want to start promoting more on social media from a business standpoint it may be a good idea to keep the more negative personal posts to a minimum. No one, especially business associates, really cares to hear about what a miserable day you are having or if you are in a fight with someone. Over-sharing is a huge problem for social media users, and has gotten a lot of people into trouble. Don't forget that some information is viewable to the public so don't talk bad about work related matters.
The last two keys that we think we should give you as you start this new form of marketing for your dealership is 1. Stay positive and 2. Set relevant and reachable goals for your social media. You must be aware that in the beginning you may not receive much feedback, but by continuing in the process you could gain a lot of rewards. Also, the main benefit is that promoting through social media is free and so you are not hurting yourself, or your wallet! Plan for the first couple months to post one business item a week, and when you find this to be successful increase your postings!
The times are always changing, but keep yourself up to date and try this new (and most popular) form of business advertising today! You would be surprised to find how you can allow your dealership to grow by taking the 10 minutes to post.

Some Catholic colleges are likely to ask for a yearlong delay in implementing the rule on birth control coverage, said Michael Galligan-Stierle, president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. In the longer run, he predicted in a statement that either Congress or the
Birth control is considered a "preventive service" under the new health care law, but Mr. Galligan-Stierle said such services should be limited to preventing disease, not pregnancy.
"We do not happen to think pregnancy is disease," he said. "We think it's a gift of love of two people and our creator."
Despite Catholic teachings, surveys have found that 98 percent of sexually active Catholic women, as in the general population, have used contraceptives.
At Catholic universities, some students support the right of the schools to uphold religious doctrine. But others, particularly professional and graduate students, have found the restrictions on birth control coverage onerous. Undergraduates are often covered by their parents' insurance, but graduate students are usually on their own and are more likely to be married or in relationships and in regular need of birth control.
At some schools, students say the rules are so stringent they have a hard time getting coverage even if they need birth control pills for strictly medical reasons.
One recent Georgetown law graduate, who asked not to be identified for reasons of medical privacy, said she had
"If I want children, I'll need a fertility specialist because I have only one working ovary," she said.
A spokeswoman for Georgetown, Stacy Kerr, said that problems like this were rare and that doctors at the health service knew how to help students get coverage for contraceptives needed for medical reasons.
Asked if Georgetown would begin covering birth control under the new rule, she said, "We will be reviewing and evaluating the new regulations, ever mindful of our Catholic and Jesuit identity and mission."
Some Georgetown professors question the wisdom of the university's current policy. "I wish Catholic institutions would have more open conversation about how bans on birth control can increase abortion rates among students," said Robin L. West, a law school professor. "Both are contrary to Catholic teaching, but abortion as I understand it is the graver of the sins, and certainly the greater injury to the fetus and the woman."
The university declined to comment on her remarks.
A 23-year-old who asked that her name not be used said she became pregnant while studying at Fordham. In high school, she said, she had taken birth control pills, but she gave them up at Fordham because she could not afford the doctor visit needed for a prescription. She and her boyfriend were using condoms when she became pregnant. Though Catholic, she considered abortion, but chose to have the baby. She said she knew six other Fordham students who had become pregnant and had abortions.
Senior Catholic officials said that students at Catholic universities should know what to expect, and that those who disagree with the policies can choose to go elsewhere. "No one would go to a Jewish barbecue and expect pork chops to be served," Mr. Galligan-Stierle said.
At Fordham Law School on Tuesday night, Ms. Dunlap and five other law students who had worked against the university's birth control policy sat together at a lecture by Archbishop
During his lecture, Archbishop Dolan criticized people who postponed conception with "chemicals and latex," calling them part of the "culture of death."
Ms. Dunlap and her colleagues were feeling proud: they had just won a small victory, persuading Fordham to change its Web site to explain the birth control policy more clearly. Now, they wrote down questions on index cards, expecting them to be put to the archbishop after his speech. One concerned contraception.
The moderator read through the questions and deemed some of them too "pointed."
"If I don't ask your question," he said, "I either apologize or I don't care."
Ms. Dunlap's queries did not make the cut. Her frustration nearly brought her to tears.
"I can't believe they didn't take our questions," she said, adding that the moderator was trying to silence disagreement. "It dishonors the law school."Continue reading the main story

Day 54: Real-Life AP Problem
AP Physics C: Today we applied our knowledge of rotational energy, projectile motion, and momentum to bring a 2010 AP exam problem to life. Although the actual values were different, the set-up was the same.
After some work…
… we tested our predictions:
Day 37: Breaking the Energy Model
AP Physics C: As a wrap-up for our energy unit, I challenged my students to predict where a ball would land after rolling off a propped-up table. I knew, however, that they would all overestimate the landing spot because they wouldn't take into account rotational kinetic energy. And why would they — we haven't talked about it yet! However, the failure of their current model motivates the development of a new one which includes rotational energy. Later, we roll different shaped objects down the hallway ramp and notice something interesting:
Day 18: Energy Conservation on Galileo's Ramp
Several students didn't believe the energy skate park simulation that, without friction, the skater always returns to the same height even if the U shaped track is asymmetric (has a different steepness on each side). So I set up an impromptu real life version using 2 dynamics tracks of different lengths. Kids were impressed.
Day 16: Energy Toys
Started pie charts today. Used these toys to develop progression from identifying energy stored by object to the need for naming the different flavors of energy.
1. Hoverpuck and launcher: Energy stored in rubber band –> energy stored in puck.
2. Pull back bunny car: Energy stored in car –> energy stored in car (uh oh)
Need for flavors. Introduce elastic and kinetic. Redo #1 and #2 in terms of elastic and kinetic.
Elastic energy stored in rubberband –> kinetic energy stored in puck.
Elastic energy stored in car –> kinetic energy stored in car.
3. Pop-up toys (popper, spring jumper, ice cream shooter): elastic energy stored in toy–> kinetic energy stored in toy –> ???
Need for gravitational energy. Contrast with using these toys in space (elastic to kinetic only). Kinetic energy decreases bc of earth's gravitational pull.
Elastic energy stored in toy –> kinetic energy stored in toy –> gravitational energy stored in toy (toy-earth interaction)
4. Hoverpuck (off, slides with friction) and launcher: Elastic in rubber band to kinetic in puck to ???
Introduce thermal energy… Video of infrared camera showing bike stopping on concrete. Demo showing diffusion of dye in cold vs hot water. PhET friction applet. Thermal energy = microscopic kinetic energy.
Elastic energy stored in puck –> kinetic energy stored in puck –> (delta) thermal stored in puck and table.
Day 15: A Standard Unit for Energy
After yesterday's experiments, I decided we should have decided upon a standard unit for energy. In this case, a standard rubberband pulled back some distance stores 1 unit of energy. Need to test how much energy a cart has? Send it into a rubber and see how far it stretches.
I know this isn't perfect, but we aren't developing quantitative relationships now. Just trying to get at the factors which affect the amount of energy in moving carts and stretched rubberbands.
(A puck launcher is pictured here because I forgot to take a picture of my actual set up: two large colored rubberbands from Staples are looped together and stretched across the width of the lab table, secured with c-clamps. A puck launcher would make a nice portable energy measurer. )
Day 14: Energy Lab Results
Looks like we've got some work to do regarding: (1) Controlled experiments; (2) Conservation of energy ; (3) Writing scientific explanations in "claim-evidence-reasoning" format.
Day 13: Energy Experiments (Round 1)
College-prep students using carts and rubber bands to design their own qualitative energy experiments. The focus is "What factors determine the amount of energy stored in a moving cart? In a stretched rubber band?" In pre-lab, we brainstormed possible factors, then I assigned each group one cart factor and one rubber band factor to investigate (with some overlap among groups for consensus purposes).
I forgot how painful it can be watching students design their own experiments. I might even have them do it over again, but with more guidance from me.
(But that's OK, because now they'll be ready for the guidance, having experimented on their own first. Right? I'm thinking about Schwartz's "A Time for Telling.")

A Taffly is a blue fly piñata. It has orange irises and a proboscis sucking mouth. It has white bug wings with yellow hard to see lines on them. It has blue patterns on its body. Its tiny and stubby legs are of a deeper color than its main body. Its butt is larger than the front of its body.
It is able to produce fertilizer by directing it to eat fruit. In Viva Piñata and Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise the fruit a Taffly swallows will transform into fertilizer which can then be picked up and used to fertilize a plant. In Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise, where it is impossible to buy fertilizer from Costolot's Store, feeding a Taffly fruit will cause it to fart out fertilizer, which can be picked up to store for use later, and the fertilizer can then be used to fertilize plants.
Easily attracted by the meagrest of bouquets, a Taffly has many uses: mobile fruity fertilizer factory, raw material for a Hot species, bait for Arocknids and Lickatoads... nobody said insect life was easy. The Taffly may seem a little bit lazy, but to put it to work for you only have to give it a piece of any fruit. Oh no! It seems your Taffly has caught on fire from the nearby Firebrand! Wait a minute... That Blaze-of-a-pinata is not a Taffly!
Appear Requirements
- Have any kind of flower in the garden.
Visit Requirements
- Have any 2 flowers in the garden.
Resident Requirements
- Has eaten 1 flower of any kind.
Romance Requirements
Trouble in Paradise Requirements
Appear Requirements
- Have 2 daisies in the garden.
Visit Requirements
- Have any kind of fruit in the garden.
Resident Requirements
- Has eaten any kind of fruit.
Romance Requirements
Species Variants
- Feeding it a poison ivy flowerhead changes its color to green.
- Feeding it a buttercup seed changes its color to yellow.
- Feeding it a blackberry seed changes its color to purple.
When set on fire by sending it to a Firebrand then quickly dousing with the watering can evolves it into a Reddhott.
- Eating a Taffly helps meet the Lickatoad Resident requirements.
- Having 4 Tafflies (or 4 Raisants) in the garden helps meet the Arocknid Visit requirements.
- Eating 2 Tafflies (or 2 Raisants) helps meet the Arocknid Resident requirements.
- Tafflies keep coming back, but they're only worth 300. However, by directing it to a Firebrand and watering it before it gets sick, you can make a Reddhott, which can be sold for 2100!
- Directing a Taffly to a piece of fruit will produce single-dose fertilizer of the appropriate color(and unlock an achievement).
Other Information
- Despite being lower on the Food chain than the Lickatoad, the Taffly will still enter the garden if Lickatoads are present.
- If you want to mass breed them and then turn them all into Reddhotts, be careful, as Arocknids will come with your many tafflies and then fight the Reddhotts!
- The Taffly has a hard to see yellow dotted line pattern on its wings.

Westwood Meetings - 3rd Wednesday of Every Month
Gender Focus Meetings - 2nd Thursday of Every Month
Español Meetings - Segundo miércoles / Tercer jueves / Cuarto viernes*
South LA Meetings - Currently suspended
PFLAG started as a group of parents meeting together to find ways of understanding and supporting their LGBT children. Our monthly meetings are still the heart of what we do. You will find tremendous acceptance, understanding, information, resources and support at a PFLAG meeting, and we encourage you to take advantage of them. For many of us, healing and hope began at our first meeting.
Who comes to PFLAG meetings?
PFLAG Los Angeles is not a political or a religious group (in spite of the fact that many meetings take place in churches). Our members and participants include people from diverse ethnic, religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds. We are young, middle aged, and seniors. We are lesbian, gay, straight, bi-sexual, transgender and questioning. Sometimes, parents and children come together, on occasion with all of the siblings. Sometimes, LGBT persons come with their partners. Parents come together or singly. Often people bring a friend for support. The straight spouses and children of LGBT persons can find understanding and assistance at PFLAG meetings. Everyone is welcome.
What are PFLAG meetings like?
After a brief introduction, the meeting leader, a PFLAG board member, will organize those attending into small groups. In this more intimate setting, run by a trained facilitator, participants can share what's on their minds in a supportive, non-judgmental environment, or simply listen. Strict confidentiality is observed.
Get placed on our e-mail list to receive our monthly updates!
Time: 3rd Wednesday of every month at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:00 pm)
Place: Westwood Church
10497 Wilshire Boulevard
(North east corner of Wilshire and Warner. Walk through the patio and look for PFLAG signs directing you to Helms Hall, located on the west end of the third floor.
At most meetings, rap groups are followed by refreshments and a speaker. The Los Angeles area is fortunate to have many academic, professional, and philanthropic LGBT organizations. Speakers come from a wide range of backgrounds and speak on topics that have included, but are not limited to, anthropology, psychology, biology, safe schools, equity for LGBT persons and their families, gay youth, and many others. See our Events page for information on our upcoming guest speaker.
Parking: Please park in the underground lot of the Belmont Village Westwood, located on Wilshire Boulevard immediately to the East of the church. Enter the Belmont Village premises from Wilshire and proceed straight to the entry of the parking structure, on your right. Park on the 2nd or 3rd levels in any space NOT designated as BELMONT PARKING.
Use the elevator or stairs at the west end of the parking structure to get to ground level. As you exit the elevator pavilion, proceed to the right across the front steps of the church to the door just to the left of the main entrance.
Directions: Take the 405 Freeway to the Wilshire Boulevard East exit. Continue 1.5 miles to the church. The entry is immediately to the west of the main church door. Walk through the patio and look for PFLAG signs directing you to Helms Hall, located on the west end of the third floor. For those using public transportation, LA Metro bus number 20 stops at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Warner Avenue.
Gender Focus Satellite Meetings -
Like all of our meetings, everyone in the LGBTQ community is welcome–along with all
parents, family, friends and straight allies. Each of you will find a warm reception and understanding support.
Many individuals dealing with issues of gender identity find that they are minorities even
at a PFLAG meeting. Our new Gender Focus meeting is designed to help end that isolation, with leaders experienced in transgender issues and knowledgeable about resources for
people with a variety of gender experiences including, but not limited to, transgender, gender nonconforming, gender questioning, gender creative, queer, and transsexual. Parents of
gender creative children are also encouraged to attend.
Time: 2nd Thursday of every month at 7:30 - 9:30 pm (doors open at 7:15 pm)
Place: Bienestar in Hollywood
4955 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90027

Effective immediately, PFLAG Los Angeles will be suspending the South Los Angeles Meeting. Beginning in August the meeting will be closed as we transition to new leadership. We will make every effort to contact regular participants in this group and encourage them to attend other PFLAG meetings in the interim.
As an all-volunteer organization, we depend on the efforts of committed PFLAG members. Changes in their circumstances heavily impact the services we can provide.
Negotiations are underway with a LGBTQ affirming faith congregation in South Los Angeles, whose leaders have expressed an interest in starting a PFLAG meeting. Check our website and monthly emails for reports of progress on this partnership.
Send an email to email@example.com if you'd like to speak with someone from the South Los Angeles area.

Tesco have changed the recipe again. Clusters have been replaced with cream coloured, banana shaped fillers ! They have no taste or nutritional value. This has ruined what was an excellent, value for money product. The package says the product was produced in Belgium… Read Full Review

Tesco Maple & Pecan the best - I have tried all others too but this is surely the best. Why have you changed it to 'Four Nuts' - it's not the same and definitely not trying it again.

In my opinion... Maple 'flavour' is insipid. Pecans 7% - not enough. Crisp - no, not like it used to be. Rice - too much. No lovely crunichiness anymore. Price - higher! Value for money - lower. Agree- ruined! Used to buy one packet a week, but shan't be doing so anymore. … Read Full Review

got these from Tesco to try they taste like I had pored salt on them. The packaging says they have trace amounts of salt, but it tastes like it has 50% salt and no Maple could be a bad batch but not trying the again to find out The only nice bits was the big chunks of pecan nuts.

I have bought the Tesco Maple & Pecan Crisp cereal for a few years and I am never bored with it. It is delicious, especially with honey. I would recommend this product. The price of it has just gone up, though. It used to cost £1.09 but it is now £1.49, a massive 40p rise in price, for the same size box. However, Tesco also sell the very same product under a different and new name, and made for Tesco. It is next to their own higher priced brand on the same shelf. The new one costs £1.19… Read Full Review

Shiny Surendran, the city's leading sports nutritionist, talks to Radhika Meganathan about what is important for runners to ensure adequate fuelling.
Shiny Surendran wears many hats. Not only is she a certified nutritionist and a published author, she also is the first Indian to be awarded Graduate Diploma in Sports Nutrition from International Olympic Committee, possesses a masters in food service management and is the Chairperson of the Website team of Indian Dietetic Association. Today, she speaks to The Finisher Mag about the kind of foods to eat and avoid when it comes to running
In your opinion, how does an avid runner err in terms of nutrition and eating habits?
I have often noticed that a group which runs together usually has a team breakfast post run. Sometimes with all the group energy, they might eat more than they have expended during the run! Portion control is a good thing to keep in mind if you'd like to maintain your peak running stats.
Some runners overeat carbs and not include enough protein. Another point to ponder is not getting adequate Magnesium and Omega 3 fats. These mistakes can be easily rectified by mindful awareness about nutrition, and more effectively, by consulting a nutritionist who will analyse your body type, health stats and suggest the best diet for you.
What is your recommended power foods for pre or post run?
A fruit milkshake such as apple / banana milkshake (use almond milk if you are lactose intolerant) is great for pre workout / post workout drink. For pre-/post-run meal, keep to complex carbs such as oats or Multi grain porridge mix, with fruits and/or nuts in it. Since most of our climate is tropical, watermelon and pomegranate juice are good for anti oxidants, aids recovery with phyto nutrients. And then there is the affordable and nature's bounty coconut water which is excellent for hydration plus electrolytes.
What kind of food is best avoided by runners?
I'd have to say, fibre rich foods, raw salads, and sprout salad, especially before a run. Runners should also avoid legumes like peanuts, rajma, white channa, gas producing foods like cabbage. As a general nutritional guideline, athletes are recommended to avoid white sugar, maida, food with artificial colors and flavours. And I recommend avoiding fruit juice, ice cubes made from tap water, raw chutneys or raw salads if you are in a new city for a run. Chances of food poisoning or gastric infection is very high, so be on guard!
What is good for recovery nutrition?
Hydration is very important to replace the salts lost and vital for recovery. I advise runners to drink at least 1 litre of sport drink after the run, especially if you live in a city which is hot and humid. In case you have high sweat loss, it is a good idea to include pickle, papad, and salty seafood dishes which have high levels of sodium.
Recent opinion is that low carb diets like paleo or keto are harmful for runners, since runners need carbs for fueling. Is this true?
A former colleague and a fitness professional would eat a full south Indian meal 2 hours and run very well at long distance events. Somehow when he implemented the sport nutrition principles of eating 4 hours before the run, did not work well for him. The fullness / satiety helped him run well. He defied all principles of sport nutrition!
The reason I am mentioning this here is to stress that we are not all cut from the same cloth. Body types and their response to carbohydrate rich food are different. Our body has large amounts of fat which could be tapped for energy. People who are insulin sensitive can eat carbs in moderation but the ones with insulin resistance will benefit from Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diets. This will have NO adverse affect on their running efficacy.
You mean, runners do not need carbs at all?
As I always say, everything in moderation. My stance is that carbs are not indispensable, nor is it a bad word. Do consult a certified nutritionist before changing your diet or training, and find out what kind of body type you have. People have varying levels of insulin resistance – the ones who really struggle to lose weight in spite of eating healthy complex carbs and good dose of protein and fibre – they will benefit a lot from LCHF diets. During off season they could try LCHF until they reach ideal weight and then before competition training, they can reload carbs moderately.
Did you notice anything interesting while training runners or athletes?
While working in YMCA sports medicine department, I observed physical education students drinking aerated drinks with glucose added to it for that extra boost of energy. Little did they realise, they would have sugar levels crashing after 20-30 minutes. I of course told them to avoid this type of stimulating drinks.
A recreational runner that I knew got severe stomach pain while running. She experimented and found better results with electrol than the commercial sports drinks. My brother's friend would consume fermented rice mixed with buttermilk every morning and run marvelously well. He was the best runner in school. Simple carbs worked well for him. One needs to experiment to find what suits their body types.
Can you give some nutrition tips for our runner readers?
- My first tip would be to eat real food. Not the one that comes in plastic or dripping in additives/sauces, but the food that is closer to what has been made in your home for years. Freshly made, with local ingredients and love and care.
- Experiment during non-competition days. Figure out what works to optimize your running. Create a template of foods that enhances your running. Stick to it.
- Pure vegetarians (lacto vegetarians) should consider whey or plant protein options to pep up recovery and build muscle mass
- Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and B complex, Omega 3 fats are very important. Eat lots of red- and green-coloured locally available greens, such as radish and turnip greens, agathi keerai, drumstick leaves (moringa leaves), spinach, manathakkali, etc which are all excellent source of Magnesium, calcium and iron. Especially if you are a vegetarian who does not eat much vegetables (sadly this is more common than you'd think, many vegetarians consume a lot of carbs at the expense of vegetables) you MUST pay attention to your daily meal plan.
Balance is the key. You don't have to deny yourself your favorite stuff, just make sure you enjoy all foods in moderation. Do not ape latest trends!

My kids love a good YouTube. From giggling at lipsyncing cats, the vintage silliness of Weird Al or the hilarious mom life parodies of My Life Suckers, supervised YouTube watching with the kids is a family pastime after the homework and sports practices are done.
Because watching entertaining streaming videos is so appealing to kids, it is also a great way to introduce them to important educational and safety concepts. We Are Teachers and its fire safety site, Sparky's Schoolhouse.org, has produced two such engaging videos on fire safety. And they enlisted two of my kids' ultimate artists, SteveSongs and Recess Monkey, to teach through song!
Little Rosalie by SteveSongs. With the help of Sparky the Fire Dog, SteveSongs helps kids stay fire safe by leading them through the four key steps for fire safety. There are even easy to follow dance steps and moves.
What's That Sound? By Recess Monkey. In this fire safety video Recess Monkey and friends take a rollicking ride aboard a flying smoke alarm to teach children and their families important fire-safety skills.
Share the music videos and spread the fire-safety message to everyone you know!
Also, if you are a teacher or homeschooler, try out one of the lesson plans at Sparky's Schoolhouse with your students or kids.

On Thursday invitations arrived to a fundraising dinner for the Historical Society Pearce was hosting at Cre Uisce Aer. It was not a big guest list and everyone on the list had been informed a month earlier to 'save the date'. Bunny opened the invitation as soon as it came in the mail. She was reading it as she walked into the house. Mike was already home preparing steaks for the grille. "Mike, look at this." She held up the invitation.
"What's this?"
"It's the invitation to the Historical Society fundraiser next Monday. Remember, I told you that Pearce called weeks ago and asked us to save the date." She continued to peruse the engraved card she was holding. "Oh, it's formal, black tie for the men."
She handed the invitation to Mike. He read it and looked up at Bunny. "Hmh. I say the most impressive thing is the Phinnigan Coat of Arms embossed in color on the cards."
Bunny looked at Mike, "That? Oh, I thought that was just decoration."
Mike continued salting and peppering the steak."No, the Phinnigan family was an old family in Ireland." He flipped the steaks. "Of course, I am sure the Fitzgerald crest is as impressive."
Bunny, moving on, almost oblivious to what Mike was talking about, started pulling vegetables and greens from the refrigerator. Mike handed her a glass of wine he had poured earlier. "Let's go sit on the porch."
Together they took their glasses and walked out onto the front porch. As they were sitting down, Bunny asked,"I guess I need a long dress for dinner next week."
"A formal one? Yes. No doubt you have a closet full of gowns to wear."
"I do, but I never can figure out what looks good on me."
Mike reached over and gave her a kiss. "I think I can help with that."
"Will you?"
"Of course. But not now."
Together they talked about their days. It was Bunny's favorite time to be on the porch. The sun was setting on the river and cast a magical glow across the lawn at Ivy Lane.
Pearce was excited about hosting the dinner. His mother had taught him how to entertain on a grand scale as well as for an intimate meal, all with her southern style. He was also very proud of how Cre Uisce Aer looked. The restoration was finally finished. When he ran into the Colonel one day in town and found himself in an enjoyable conversation about Gallagher and the all the history of the area. That meeting gave Pearce the idea of hosting a fundraiser.
After setting a date, the Colonel suggested, since Pearce was hosting that he put together the guest list. Pearce offered to handle the guest list as well as the invitations.
When Haynes got his invitation, he immediately called Colleen to tell her about it. "I know you have something to wear. If you don't, let's go shopping."
"What I wear is not the problem. Attending is my issue."
"Colleen, we have already talked about this. I'll be right by your side. Remember, I told you this is when you learn who your true friends are. And, trust me, if there is any problem Bob and Parker are prepared to take care of it."
Colleen smiled to herself. "I never thought of Bob and Parker as my knights in shining armor."
"Oh, they are. I'll pick you up at 6:30 Monday evening. And don't forget we are going to Dot's tonight. I'll pick you up at 6."
They talked a few minutes more then rang off. Colleen took a deep breath. This was it - what she had dreaded for a while. She had to remember she was strong. She could do this. Then she remembered what Haynes had said. If there was a problem, Bob and Parker would take care of it.
The talk at the Tea House was the fundraiser and what everyone would wear. "Oh, I love going to a black tie event. I rarely get to dress up," commented Adair. She added, "I have a dress I got on sale that I have never worn." She took a sip of her tea. "God, I hope it still fits!"
The ladies laughed. "Maybe we should wear long white gloves. I always feel like Audrey Hepburn when I pull mine out of the drawer."
"I don't think long white gloves, a tiara, and loosing 30 pounds would make me feel like Audrey Hepburn," laughed Charlotte.
Dixie, being haughty as ever. "Has any one seen the guest list. I was told it was small - only a select few are invited." She paused and when no one replied, she added, "It is so sad. This is the kind of affair Hayne's late wife, Blair, would have enjoyed." She buttered a biscuit and gently placed the silver butter spreader on the edge of her bread plate. "I know Haynes will not attend. Who could imagine he could be tricked by that 'Colleen'." She paused, "Certainly she will not be there. How humiliating that would be for Haynes."
Charlotte was appalled, as were several other ladies at the table. She spoke up, "Dixie, if you are going to be so ugly about this, perhaps you should not attend to event."
Charlotte was appalled, as were several other ladies at the table. She spoke up, "Dixie, if you are going to be so ugly about this, perhaps you should not attend to event."
Always wanting to have the last word, Dixie replied, "Well what else can you expect from Haynes. After all look how his son, Bob, turned out."
Stella had also had enough. "Dixie, I don't think I have ever met someone like you. Even if you feel that way, you can keep your thoughts to your self. Do I need remind you who's picture was on the front page of the Afternoon Daily Press."
Most of the other ladies murmured in agreement.
Dixie kept on, "Ella, certainly you agree with me. After all, you remember the days when everyone was proper and knew how to behave themselves."
Ella was offended that she was selected as Dixie's next victim. "Dixie, personally, I think Colleen is lovely. I enjoy her company. After all, it is so nice to see Haynes happy." She paused and laughed, "I just wish I could find someone that would make me that happy." Everyone at the table laughed out loud.
Charlotte spoke up, "My only issue with Colleen, is how regal she always looks. I have never seen anyone as stylish as she is."
Adair agreed,"And worse yet, she can wear anything and it will look elegant."
The conversation continued, although Dixie stayed quiet. 'Stylish?' she thought. What was happening to these ladies? Most of whom had been raised in fine southern homes, were willing to even speak with Colleen, much less defend her. Why is she still here? Their entire culture was going to Hell, simply because of this Colleen. She wished the woman would just disappear.
Stella considered the conversation, especially 'Miss Ella's' remarks. True she enjoyed Hollis's company but how long would that last. If something happened between Colleen and Haynes - which single man would Colleen's dupe next. Something about her made men comment about her style every time she was around.
Later that afternoon at the Starlight Cafe, Bob and Parker were having lunch. 'Miss' Ella walked in and spoke to them. Both Bob and Parker stood up and asked if she would join them. Ella always enjoyed their company.
After she had ordered, she entertained Bob and Parker repeating the lively conversation from that morning at the Tea House. Needless to say they were both humored and surprised at Dixie's comments. The meal came and the conversation continued.
Parker offered, "I am most surprised at 'Miss' Dixie's comments. Even if she feels that way, why would discuss them with that group of ladies?"
Bob laughed, "Well, all I know is I am pea green with envy when it comes to Colleen's wardrobe. She makes the rest of us look like we are wearing seed sacks. I feel like the second fiddle every time I am around her and Dad. As long as she is around I cannot compete."
Parker added, "Accept it, you may never regain your title of 'best dressed' in town."
At that time, Ella's cell phone rang. She looked at the screen, "Oh, boys this has been delightful but I have to leave now. As she answered her phone, she pulled a ten dollar bill from her purse. Placing it on the table, she mouthed 'for my lunch'.
Parker tried to give it back to her. "Let us get this."
Ella just waved him off, smiled, and walked away talking on her phone.
"She is a piece of work. It is sad she never found anyone after 'Mr. Howard' died", commented Bob.
"Well, there are only so many single men in town and most of those are taken."
They finished their lunch and stood to leave. As they walked out Bob told Walter, "Best burger in town!"
It was about 6:30 that evening when Haynes, Colleen, Bob, and Parker arrived at Dot's. As they greeted Ike, he asked, "Regulars?"
"Yes sir," answered Haynes. "I think we will sit at that table," he said pointing toward a table for 4 on the side of the room.
"Where ever you want," Ike answered as he busily prepared their drinks.
There were a few people in the bar when they arrived. Some they recognized, 1 or 2 they didn't. No one paid any attention to Haynes' group as they got settled at their table.
Ike brought the drinks over, white wine for Colleen, a red for Bob, bourbon and Coke for Parker, and a glass of scotch, neat, for Haynes. They chatted with him as he served their drinks. Bob looked at Ike, "Ike, let me tell you - you were the sharpest dressed at Kathleen's reception. You wear a dinner jacket well."
Ike thanked him and commented about how much fun it had been.
Parker followed up, "Personally, I found the suit you wore at Bunny's wedding very sharp."
Ike just smiled, "For an old man, I try."
He made his way back to the bar and the group took the first sips of their drinks and started chatting. "I think I am going to wear a dinner jacket to the party at Pearce's."
"That's a little much," laughed Parker.
"Well it is black tie."
"Whatever. Since when have I tried to give you fashion advice?"
Haynes shook his head. "Boys, you both know you are going to look sharp, whatever you wear."
"But Dad," Bob said, looking at Colleen,"the bar has been raised once 'Miss' Colleen here arrived. I've got to step up my game."
"Please Bob, really?" Colleen asked faking annoyance. "Okay, would it make you happy to come go through my closet to see if there is anything you want to wear."
"No, dear, that will not be necessary." Bob smiled. "I've got a plan."
Everyone at the table laughed at Bob who continually acted as if he was terribly concerned about Colleen usurping his long held place as most fashionable.
Several friends came in while the group was there. Most stopped by the table to talk. All in all it was a pleasant evening.
Pearce had selected a catering company, well known for their unique menus. He selected special wine from his wine cellar, as well as champagne and craft beer. The gardens were in full bloom, so he engaged Lavenia to come out and use the estate's flowers in arrangements for the dinner.
To make the evening more special, he had cleared all the furniture from the middle of the main hall and living room. In it's place were 7 or 8 round tables, covered in fine Irish linens and set with his mother's sterling flatware. Pearce had found a very good jazz trio, he had once he heard at a club in Mobile. At that time, he had asked them, if he ever needed them, would they come out to Cre Uisce Aer. Needless to say they were more than willing. After all, who could resist Pearce's Irish charm.
As he reviewed his lists and saw how good the house looked, he was pleased. It was going to be a success. Everyone would have an enjoyable evening. Being careful, he knew there must be something he overlooked. But that was not something he could worry about now. Nothing was going to go wrong.

"Going Green" is a phrase you've probably seen and heard a lot recently. Energy conservation is vital not only to the health and preservation of our environment, but also to our budget. Now more than ever, energy conservation is imperative to our society. Having a solar tube installed in your home by a Monument roofing contractor is an inexpensive, energy-efficient, very green way that you can being transforming your Monument home into a green home.
Believe it or not, a sky tube installed in your home or office has the potential to allow up to five times more light into a room than a wall window of the same size. How, you might ask? You are fundamentally bottling the light that streams into the room from the sun. If you live in a sunny environment where the sun shines mostly year round, a solar tube is especially useful. Tubular lighting means less energy needed to heat and light your home and less money to pay your Monument gas and electric companies.
Solar tubes differ from regular skylights in that they collect sunlight into a tube engineered with mirrors that are highly reflective, and then it reflects the light to a diffusing mechanism that can be easily installed in your ceiling. The tubular skylights diffuser is no more obtrusive than a simple lighting fixture. Unlike a lighting fixture, tubular lighting provide light that is completely natural and energy-efficient.
Another advantage of having a installed versus a traditional skylight is that a sky tube will not cause fading of carpets or paint. Skylights sometimes lead to the fading of patches of carpet or parts of furniture where the light directly shines on them. UVB and UVC radiation of the sun is prohibited by the refraction and reflection of the light on the dome on top.

Bobbi Kristina Brown Update: Bobby Brown Leaves Bedside to Sell BBQ Sauce (VIDEO)
Bobby Brown is leaving Bobbi Kristina Brown's bedside for the very first time this weekend since she was hospitalized in Atlanta in February. He will be selling his barbecue sauce at the Soul Food Festival in Los Angeles on Saturday.
He will also perform at the festival along with throwback artists Salt-N-Pepa, El DeBarge and Stephanie Mills.
As we reported earlier, Bobby Brown is also going to fly to Australia for a mini-tour in May, according to TMZ.
But what if Krissy wakes up this weekend?
What if she calls out boyfriend Nick Gordon's name who is "doing well" in rehab?
I guess he desperately needs to earn money if he is doing this right now.
Here's Bobby Brown promoting his appearance at Soul Food Festival:

Automotive News reports Max Page, the young actor behind the wildly popular Volkswagen "Little Vader" character, has undergone successful surgery to correct a heart issue. Page was born with a defect called Tetralogoy of Fallot, which can cause low oxygen levels in the blood. Surgeons replaced Page's pulmonary valve in an operation that took around two hours without any complications or incidents. Tetralogy of Fallot is only treatable with surgery, and while doctors had worked to preserve Page's pulmonary valve, it deteriorated over the course of the actor's young life to the point of needing replacement.
The 7-year-old star has already racked up an impressive resume. In addition to his role in the now famous Volkswagen Super Bowl ad, Max has also seen screen time on TV shows like "The Young and the Restless" and "Prime Suspect."
Page will recover at Children's Hospital Los Angeles over the next week and is expected to make a full recovery in another six to eight weeks.

I use different types of sketchbooks. I prefer the hardbound cover but I also have the spiral bound sketchbooks. They also come in either toned tan paper or white. I find myself sketching a lot more and I wished started doing more of it earlier in my life. Most of the early sketchbooks were used for sketching design ideas but now they're mostly used for sketching people and other types of subjects from life.
From left to right the larger black spiral sketchbook is a Picadilly, the next one on top of it is a Cachet by Daler-Rowney recycled toned paper sketchbook, the brown hardcover toned paper sketchbook is a Strathmore, and the black hardcover is a Canson. There are many brands available and I'll sometimes get whatever I can get my hands on.
The main drawing/sketching tool I've used for these sketchbooks is the ball point pen. I've also used graphite pencil but only rarely.

Our R&D bloggers look at the issue of sleep deprivation, one of the primary health deficits in emergency medicine, which can have serious physiological, financial and social consequences
(photo: 123rf/ostill)
Man is the only mammal that will willingly delay sleep. Sleep deprivation is defined by the International Classification of Sleep Disorder as a: "Disorder that occurs in an individual who persistently fails to obtain sufficient nocturnal sleep required to support normally alert wakefulness."
Sleep deprivation is one of the primary health deficits in emergency medicine, which not only affects job performance, but also leads to serious physiological, financial, and social consequences. Recent studies have shown that sleep-deprived individuals are more likely to have suicidal ideations, show impaired procedural performance despite extended practise, and accumulate neurocognitive deficits involving changes to brain structures mediating sensory processing and decision-making.
Impairment of individual cognitive levels can also lead to deleterious financial repercussions; it is estimated that $18 billion is lost on annual productivity in US companies; a total of $43 to $56 billion is estimated to be lost due to human error-related accidents, which could be a result of sleep deprivation (Goel, Namni, et al 2009).
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers are at a particular risk of sleep deprivation. While prevalence in the general population is approximated to be around 20 per cent, recent surveys of prehospital providers puts the estimate to up to 59 per cent. The higher incidence of sleep deprivation, along with increased exposure to human disaster, is reflected in elevated rates of PTSD (17 per cent) and depression (22 per cent) relative to the general population, where surveys place the rates of PTSD and depression at as low as 1.9 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively (Carey, Mary G., et al 2011).
Furthermore, a 2011 survey of 112 professional firefighters found correlations between sleep deprivation, binge drinking, nicotine use, depression and poor social bonding, while a 2010 study involving 119 EMS providers found around 45 per cent to be suffering from severe mental and physical fatigue and 60 per cent diagnosed with one or more health conditions such as diabetes. Carey, Mary G., et al also found that a significant portion of the subjects were overweight (41.9 per cent) or obese (42.7 per cent), which corroborates previous studies that have found a correlation between short, low-quality sleep with obesity.
Beyond the immediate effects on the first responders, sleep deprivation also affects job performance such as protocol deviation and quality of patient care. In 2007, Dr William Killgore and colleagues focused on 26 healthy adults, finding that following 53 hours of continuous wakefulness, participants had more difficulty responding to moral dilemmas. The impediment in decision-making corroborates studies that show sleep loss from extended shift work is associated with higher incidences of medical error and attention failures in medical residents and nurses.
In EMS personnel, sleep deprivation has been linked to job-related injuries and medical errors such as protocol deviation, failure in securing an airway, dropping patients, and medication mistakes. Medical errors not only affect the patients physically, but have financial implications, such as malpractice suits, as well. Ultimately, sleep deprivation leads to adverse consequences for both medical personnel, and as for the patients that the sleep deprived provider is taking care of.
Causes of Sleep Deprivation in EMS
The nature of EMS as a continuous service requires providers to work at odd hours of the day, with 24-hour shifts being common. Working multiple shifts is also common, as EMS personnel may work for different agencies simultaneously and have fewer restrictions placed on working hours. Working for long periods or at night can disrupt circadian rhythms and sleep quality, leading to the detrimental physiological consequences as discussed above.
Furthermore, the high-stress environment of EMS may affect sleep quality and duration. A group of EMTs headed by Chad Newland found in a 2015 survey that 37 per cent of a sample of over 4,000 EMS providers had contemplated suicide; meanwhile, firefighter Mark Holland found in 2011 that in 108 fire/EMS personnel, 29 per cent had traumatic stress symptomatology as well as an epidemic of detrimental coping skills.
There is a correlation not only between stress-related disorders and sleep disorders, but also between chronic elevated stress levels, sleep quality and insomnia. The reports are particularly concerning owing to the enduring nature of stress-related disorders and their often-indelible repercussions.
Possible solutions for addressing and combatting sleep deprivation
More research should be carried out to study sources of sleep deprivation in EMS and ways to implement change to prevent the adverse impact that this can cause. On a broad scale, regulation of EMS work hours should be applied and better compensation should be proposed to deter EMS personnel from working for multiple agencies. In particular, policies on resource and personnel distribution should be executed so as to prevent short staffing.
Education on resources for self-care should be implemented, such as therapy programmes and debriefing sessions. The 2015 Newland survey found that support programme such as employee assistance programmes (EAP) and critical incident stress management (CISM) teams were reported to be 'very helpful', but found that EMS personnel did not find the support to be accessible. The same survey also found that a positive work environment involving peer encouragement to seek support contributed to voluntarily seeking help, and ultimately increasing the effectiveness of the aforementioned programmes.
At the individual level, EMS personnel must be conscious of making healthy decisions and educate themselves on methods to relax and attenuate sleep disruptions. Working together to minimise sleep deprivation will improve the overall outcome for both the patient and overall quality of life for an EMS provider.

Tatted sketches
I've been working from home a lot recently, which has meant getting three hours of my day back. It turns out the commute from upstairs to downstairs is a lot quicker than the 3 hour round trip to the office. In the first few weeks I picked up a good habit, which I've swiftly lost — taking […]

Well, time certainly flies. Or at least it moves on, whether you're having fun or not! I haven't meant to leave it so long between posts, but work and weekends have intermingled a bit this summer, and I haven't had a lot of time for myself. Also, the change in my morning commute has affected […]

No time like the present…
I made these needle cases about a month ago. They're very wonky, and I just rushed in and made them without thinking really—which I must admit, I really enjoyed. I used up lots of little scraps and just made it up as I went along. I like the fact that one is really bright and […]

Liberia stands a chance to benefitâ¦-Monie Captan
MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The Chief Executive Officer of the Millennium Challenge Account Liberia, Monie Captan, says Liberia has a Chance to benefit from another compact if the Government of Liberia improves performance indicators from the grant.
Mr.Captan said:" Liberia has already passed some of the performance indicators, including control of corruption and freedom of information."
Speaking at a media orientation on June 16,2018, Mr.Captan said sometimes countries fail the indicators because the reporting ministries do not provide information required to judge performance.
In October 2015, Liberia became eligible for a United States Government grant of US $ 257 Million through the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
It came after Liberia had qualified by passing 10 out of 20 independent and transparent policy indicators as required by the MCC grant.
The MCC grant is a five year program intended to encourage growth and private sector investment in Liberia by improving access to reliable and affordable electricity, as well as improving planning and execution of road maintenance to reduce transportation cost.
The Liberia Compact consists of funding of the rehabilitation of the Mount Coffee Hydropower Plant, development of a training center of the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) and support for the creation of an independent energy sector regulator.

I was in a serious car crash in 2010. A close friend had recommended Abrahamson & Uiterwyk. Calling A & U was the best decision I made. From day one, they were my support system and the people I turned to for every question and bump along the road. Their representatives explained everything in detail. Paola, one of their awesome paralegals, checked on me regularly and answered all my questions. She kept track of every single event and document. The office was so organized I was able to let them handle all the legal stuff and focus on healing. The attorneys are very personable, approachable and available to answer questions. As a professional myself, I really saw how they ARE aggressive, they did not back down when it came to my case. My case settled quickly and I was very pleased with every detail. I would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends anytime.

(CNN) -- A leading civil rights group on Monday called for the resignation of top leaders at a historically black university where Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is set to deliver the commencement address.
The NAACP Florida State Conference is urging the university president and board chairman of Bethume-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida, to step down following the announcement of DeVos' speech last week.
The organization is claiming that faculty members have been threatened with termination and students could have their degrees withheld for speaking out against her appearance.
The university did not respond to CNN's request for a comment on the NAACP letter.
In addition, protests took place last week and more are expected on campus outside the hall where DeVos is scheduled to address those graduating on Wednesday. The anti-Trump group Indivisible, the NAACP Florida Conference and students plan to demonstrate at the event.
University president Edison Jackson has defended the invitation, however, saying it benefits students to hear from those with controversial ideals and differing beliefs.
"If our students are robbed of the opportunity to experience and interact with views that may be different from their own, then they will be tremendously less equipped for the demands of democratic citizenship," he said in a statement posted online.
The university has not responded to the NAACP Florida Conference's call for the leadership to step down.
DeVos initially received criticism after meeting at the White House with leaders of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and then issuing a statement praising those who started the institutions were "real pioneers" of school choice.
HBCUs and their supporters rejected the characterization as insulting, since the schools were founded during an era of segregation when black students were prohibited from attending mostly white colleges in the South.
DeVos later walked back her comments, saying black universities and college were not about choice but due to racism.
An online petition with over 6,000 supporters wants to stop DeVos from delivering the commencement speech, charging the secretary had reduced consumer protections for student loan repayment plans and amnesty programs -- something many of the Bethume-Cookman's students depend upon.
President Donald Trump over the weekend issued a statement saying, "Secretary DeVos chose an HBCU as the venue for her first commencement address to demonstrate my administration's dedication to these great institutions of higher learning."
